- Unique and creativelucygirlVIPDined on 11/25/2014Since it was our anniversary, they brought out champagne for us which was a nice touch. Server was very knowledgable and professional. They brought out little nibbles while we waited for our Food. I had an appetizer and selections from Dim Sum. Everything was a little gem. My husband enjoyed his short ribs. We had a wonderful Brut. Would definitely return if we are in town again.Special Features:
- Regained our trustJeromeVIPDined on 11/22/2014First and foremost, the food was, and always has been, fantastic. My boyfriend and I had received nearly insultingly poor service twice, in the past, and had not wanted to return on that sole reason. Our server, Will, and other staff, changed that in one evening. Will and many of his teammates provided my table with actively hospitable service. From the young lady refilling water glasses, to the server, though not our own, offered to fetch me a towel when he saw my boyfriend knock his cup of ice in my lap, to the seemingly FOH manager offering genuine smiles and the female server near the bar not acting bothered by my friend asking her to take our group picture, left us tickled pink by our experience. Hats off to Will and the rest of the Saturday night crew. Now, we look forward to dining at Fish again. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant we had been wanting to try for a whileOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014Finally, we made it to the Fish, and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere was just right for a relaxing dinner. The service was wonderful without being intrusive. The food was delicious - my chopped salad was perfect, but the crab soup was a little too spicy for me. My husband loved his scallops entree. We would definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- One of the best meals I ever ateMrsMarronVIPDined on 11/8/2014The restaurant is set up in an old house, yet it is elegantly decorated and extremely inviting. The cocktails were out of this world, the dim sum was to die for, and the entrees were not enormous portions so we were able to finish our food without feeling overly stuffed. We skipped dessert but I had another cocktail! That's how good they were. We highly recommend this restaurant for a fine meal and dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will returnMWK1313VIPDined on 11/6/2014We arrived to find this young man playing music in the bar. He was so entertaining and fun. The service, food, and ambiance were all above average. It seems counterintuitive to order short ribs at a placed named Fish, but, they were recommended highly and I was not disappointed. We also had a delicious salmon dish, tasty tuna tartar, and crispy calamari. We would return.Special Features:
- not fishy - it's FISHOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 11/5/2014this place is a great "go to" place in charleston. our table ordered scallops and the special sheepshead fish for entrees. both were exceptional in terms of taste and presentation. desserts were a bit disappointing all around. we were a little surprised about the desserts considering they have two dedicated pastry chefs in house. despite the disappointing desserts (which were presented well but just didn't taste good), the meal was still quite good. i wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fish and would guess that it was just an off day in the pastry kitchen.Special Features:
- Fast and goodpurplejasmineDined on 10/31/2014Lovely little spot near the Visitors Center. Food was excellent, particularly the chicken cordon bleu which was outstanding. We were in and out in less than an hour although we were in no hurry. Gave us time to have a gelato at a nearby spot on St. John though so no harm done.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the bestdisasterVIPDined on 10/31/2014This is consistently one of Charleston's best, without the overblown egos of some of the others. I have dined here about ten times in the last three years and its always good.Special Features:
- DisappointingDisappointedVIPDined on 10/30/2014After reading great reviews, and after having a spectacular experience at Wild Olive on Johns Island, my wife & I relatively y disappointed by FISH. The food was fine, but comparatively meager in quantity and quality to WO. The service was competent and friendly if a tiny bit slow, but the ambiance was cold. We would not return and I'm afraid we would not recommend it.

- Love this restaurant!ThomDined on 10/18/2014Fifth visit, never disappointed! Interesting menu, every item ordered was delicious and perfectly prepared. Our split app - calamari - was as good as we have ever had. Entrees: scallops and grouper wonderful. No room for dessert.Special Features:

- Outstanding foodAnnhVIPDined on 10/12/2014We really enjoyed our dinner at Fish. The food was fantastic and the service was very good. I had the NC trout which melted in your mouth. The combination of flavors was great. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Charleston.Special Features:
- Delicious new menumelred50Dined on 10/12/2014Our server, Rashad, announced that we would be ordering from a new menu. Well it was fabulous! We started with an order of Dim sum, calamari, and duck pate for the table. Our favorite was the calamari cooked in a tempura batter and served with a sweet chili glaze. So yummy! The seafood entrees tasted very fresh and cooked to perfection. Our table enjoyed the pan seared scallops with a coconut sauce and grilled snapper with delightful goat cheese dumplings. Excellent service and food. The only negative was the loud music. We were early diners and had difficulty talking over the boastful sounds. Overall, we will certainly return and recommend others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty goodGraceDined on 10/11/2014We celebrated our anniversary here and it was a good meal but not the best ever. We started with dim sum and all were delicious- my favorite was duck confit. Then, I got the scallops- delish and my husband got the sous vide lobster- he was disappointed that the coconut sauce wasn't cooked in the sous vide with the lobster because it was bland. Both entrees didn't have much on the plate as far as sides. The dessert dim sum was THE BEST with 4 sampler bites. They were very accommodating for our anniversary, but I would skip entrees and just get apps and dessert next time.Special Features:
- DisappointedeatoutDined on 10/10/2014Chose this restaurants on the excellent reviews. My food, the merquez stuffed quail was relatively tasteless. I couldn't taste any difference between the mashed merquez and the quail. It was just a mish mash. The rest of the plate was forgettable. Would not bother eating here again
- We loved it!!ahz2403Dined on 10/10/2014We joined a couple who live part-time in downtown Charleston and frequent many of the restaurants. We all were so delighted with Fish. The swordfish, scallops and boullibaisse plates were so good and the two gentlemen loved the tuna tartare. Service was also perfect...right there and attentive, but not hovering. We will go back...soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing Food!!ChironDined on 10/4/2014I was with a group of five this past weekend and I truly enjoyed my meal. I had the snapper and got to taste the scallops and the grouper. All were delicious!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So good!LuvwsdiningDined on 10/4/2014The food was awesome! Service was attentive and the wine list was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SF vs SCWatystableDined on 10/2/2014Living in the Bay Area gives us many choices for seafood. I always look forward to South Carolina seafood menu. The fish will always be my top choice when I come to Charleston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not great valueMikeVIPDined on 10/2/2014Our two day visit to Charleston included stops at several highly rated restaurants. Janet's appetizers (tuna tartare and grilled artichoke) were tasty but very small for the price. My scallops were also tasty but small. The presentation with both were quite lovely. Avoid the bar area which was very noisy, which we did. Service was good and the atmosphere was nice.Special Features:
- Fantastic dining experiencebvhgastronomyDined on 10/1/2014We've dined at some of the most famous Charleston restaurants this week and we both agree that the food experience and service at Fish was the most memorable. The chef knows how to combine flavors which have your taste buds yelling for more! The dim sum of 4 choices was perfect, the scallop entree was cooked to perfection and the braised beef was presented sliced and tasted like the best tender filet mignon. The potato sticks with bacon bits and a sweet spicy dipping sauce complemented the flavors of the meal. Our server was welcoming, friendly and made sure the timing of courses from drinks to desert was perfect. You don't want to miss this dining experience!Special Features:
- A Very Enjoyable ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/30/2014We enjoyed our experience at Fish. The service was outstanding with our server always being at our table at the right time. This was especially note worthy because she was serving a large party at the same time as us. We each had the Scallops which we thought were outstanding. The Peach Epiphany dessert was a perfect way to finish. Although the wine we had was excellent, we would recommend that there be some more moderately priced wines added to the wineSpecial Features:
- Delicious!trustmeDined on 9/27/2014Our food was great. Highly recommend. Waiter was not the best, but I would rather have good food and bad waiter than the other way around.Special Features:
- Boz62Dined on 9/27/2014Menu selections were diverse and difficult to choose from. Food interestingly and well prepared. Our server, likely relatively new, was not well versed on preparations and specials. Overall, a good choice for an interesting and delicious evening.Special Features:
- DVanVIPDined on 9/26/2014Had very nice dinner at Fish. Food and service was very good. Only downside was menu is mainly seafood. Having said that, if that is what you are looking for (which we were), it is an excellent choice. Would return.Special Features:
- Consistently my favorite!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/14/2014The food was fabulous; Will was fabulous and I loved every aspect of my experience there!Special Features:
- Way to end restaurant week!HappyVIPDined on 9/14/2014We enjoyed several 3 for $30 meals this week as part of Charleston restaurant week. The total experience at Fish clearly stood out for us as the best. While they scaled back slightly on portions, I'm glad they did so we could enjoy perfectly sized plates. The tuna tartare was excellent and the artichoke very good as well. The scallops and the snapper entrees were fabulous. The peach epiphany and ban moh deserts were yummy. Service was great.Special Features:
- finally food with a spicedaveDined on 9/13/2014Moved here 9 months ago. Food is good but nothing over the top. Finally food with flavor. Spices flavor. Good southern food in Charleston, but nice to eat world food. Having lived in several areas in the world, appreciate flavors. Went during restaurant week so hope this is the standard. If you like food with flavors, don't miss this one in Charleston.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TLDiningoutDined on 9/13/2014The entire dinner was prepared and presented beautifully. The calamari was probably the best I have ever had. It was fried to perfection and seasoned perfectly. Can not wait to go back. Thank you for a wonderful evening and meal.Special Features:
- Best Dinner Out in a Long Timebdaydinner61Dined on 9/13/2014i used to do the Trade Show Circuit a few year back and had dinners out in most of America's major cities. This dinner experience @ Fish ranks up there as the second best I've had, behind Chicago. Granted I was with my wife of 41 years and we were celebrating her 61st birthday (can't get any better than that) it was a most enjoyable night. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014wonderful setting, great food...none of us crazy about the "bread"Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Posts tagged: gun control
In this file photo Ben Wetzel displays one of his handmade holsters.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois became the last state in the nation to allow public possession of concealed guns as lawmakers rushed Tuesday to finalize a proposal ahead of a federal court's deadline.
Both chambers of the Legislature voted to override changes Gov. Pat Quinn made to the bill they approved more than a month ago. Even some critics of the law argued it was better to approve something rather than risk the courts allowing virtually unregulated concealed weapons in Chicago, which has endured severe gun violence in recent months.
The Senate voted 41-17 in favor of the override Tuesday afternoon after the House voted 77-31, margins that met the three-fifths threshold needed to set aside the amendatory veto. Quinn had used his veto authority to suggest changes such as prohibiting guns in restaurants that serve alcohol and limiting gun-toting citizens to one firearm at a time. Read more.
What would motivate you to carry a concealed weapon?
Sen. Mike Crapo held a press conference at a Boise gun shop today, where he blasted Congress' and President Barack Obama's bid to tighten gun laws while promoting reauthorization of a 2004 law that, among other things, directs federal taxpayer money for mental health courts. The AP reports that Crapo is using the latest congressional recess to emphasize his reputation as a serious policy maker, not a man on his heels after his December drunken driving arrest and this month's disclosure that his campaign lost $250,000 on a loan-gone-sour/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise. More here.
Question: Will it take Sen. Crapo long to put scandals behind him?
Former Idaho Democratic Congressman Walt Minnick has been hired by his former colleague Gabrielle Giffords' to assist her effort to expand background checks on gun purchases. Minnick's Washington, D.C., firm is Majority Group LLC, which he founded in 2011 after losing his first re-election bid to GOP challenger and now-Rep. Raul Labrador. Minnick and two others from Majority Group registered as lobbyists effective March 31 and filed their disclosure report April 12 as the Senate was preparing to vote on background checks, which were ultimately rejected. The filing is available on the Sunlight Foundation website. Minnick has had his differences with the NRA, getting a "D+" grade when he defeated Republican Bill Sali in 2008. Two years later, the NRA boosted his grade to a "B+," while Labrador got an "A"/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here. (AP file photo, of Walt Minnick)
Question: Can't trust those dern Democrats with guns, can you?
An angry President Obama criticized a minority of the Senate on Wednesday who helped defeat a proposal to expand background checks on gun purchases. "It all came down to politics," Obama said in the Rose Garden. "All in all, this was a pretty shameful day for Washington." Obama was flanked by the family of Daniel Barden, who was among the 20 children and six adults killed Dec. 14 in a gun massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Also with Obama: former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head during an assasination attempt in 2011. Just hours before, the Senate voted 54-46 to defeat an amendment by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa. on tougher background checks/President Barack Obama is shown with former Rep. Gabby Giffords, left, and Mark Barden, the father of Newtown shooting victim Daniel)
Pictures of liberals holding rifles and code phrases like "Idaho's unique lifestyle" have long provided the cover that Democrats needed to compete for rural votes. Idaho's four-term U.S. Senator Frank Church (1924-1984) was no exception. While firmly antiwar in the 1960s and 70s, he publicly opposed federal gun control as well. In 1965, as Congress debated early versions of the Gun Control Act of 1968, Church collected 60,000 Idaho signatures opposing a provision floated by Senator Tom Dodd that would have required registration of long guns. Church ceremoniously delivered the petitions to Dodd's subcommittee/Nathaniel Hoffman, Blue Review. More here. (Wikipedia photo of Frank Church)
Question: Do you think Idaho Democrats are as passionate in support of guns as Idaho Republicans?
Coeur d'Alene School Trustee Brent Regan (pictured) has issued the following statement to a school district patron who criticized his anti-Obama joke at a legislative forum Saturday. The patron's criticism, Regan's response, and an editorial on racism by Regan are now online at the Coeur d'Alene Press site:
Brent Regan (to school constituent): "Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I assure you I am not a racist, as people who know me will confirm. I am sure that if we got to know each other that you would also come to that conclusion. I believe that people should be judged by their actions and then their words but absolutely never by their race. This is the opposite of racism. I also believe a person is responsible for what they say, but not what others chose to infer from those words. Your suspicions of my narrow mindedness are unfounded as I rigorously encourage the consideration of all viewpoints in an attempt to craft a solution that is the best fit for a given situation. Prior to making my comments at the meeting I made a clear statement that I was participating as an individual, not as a Trustee, specifically to insulate others from my comments. It is unfortunate that was not also quoted as I would not presume to speak for others unless specifically directed to do so. More here.
Last fall, Brent Regan (middle) is interviewed by a Coeur d'Alene Press reporter during a demonstration by United Conservatives of North Idaho, near the Kootenai County Courthouse, against the proposed Unified Land Use Code.
A forum involving 8 Kootenai County legislators Saturday in Post Falls prompted an exchange between freshman Rep. Luke Malek, R-Coeur d'Alene, and Coeur d'Alene School District Trustee Brent Regan that's caused a buzz on the local blogosphere re: gun rights:
Regan, responding to Malek, said he hasn't heard a concise definition of an "assault" weapon or rifle. He said the legislature could help define what an assault weapon is to preserve rights of gun owners. Then, Regan added, to some shocked and uncomfortable laughter and rumblings in the audience, "My wife and I were having this conversation and I said, 'They can't figure out what an assault weapon is — it's just black and it looks scary.' And she looks at me and says, 'Well, so is Obama.'"
Question: On the Coeur d'Alene Press Web site (see link above), commenters are arguing re: the appropriateness of Regan's comment about President Obama. What do you think?

This interview appears in the June 2013 issue of Golf Magazine.
Mike Davis would like you to know that the United States Golf Association is not in a standoff with the PGA of America (and its president, Ted Bishop) or the PGA Tour (and its commissioner, Tim Finchem). Although the latter two bodies have pushed back against the USGA and R&A's proposal to ban anchored putting, Davis, the USGA's executive director, says that his organization works smoothly with the PGA of America and PGA Tour on a range of issues, and adds that the USGA invited feedback on anchored putting, which, if banned, would be outlawed in 2016.
The proposed ban is only the most buzzed-about way the USGA has asserted itself recently. This year the organization announced plans to replace the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship -- mostly because public golfers have long had access to the U.S. Amateur -- with a national four-ball tournament. The typical golfer understands the four-ball or "best-ball" format, which takes some of the pressure off each player and is a fixture at most clubs. It's fun and good for golf, which remains the ultimate litmus test for the USGA, says Davis, 48. Golf Magazine sat down with the former Pennsylvania junior champion in his Far Hills, N.J., office so that he could discuss his leadership philosophy, respond to his critics, and explain why undersize Merion will make a big impression on the world's best players.
People have said for years that Merion was outdated and couldn't cope with the advances in modern equipment, and yet here we are, on the verge of the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion. As not only the executive director of the USGA but also the guy who sets up the U.S. Open courses, is this your greatest challenge?
We were among those who said it would never work! A few of us that looked at this really hard had told our board that we just can't host the U.S. Open anymore at Merion. It wasn't because of the golf course itself, although some would argue that it's too short. It was because we couldn't figure out a way to hold a modern-day Open, operationally, on that little piece of land.
What's been the single biggest challenge?
The practice range for the players is a mile down the road. It's not even on site! It's at Merion's West Course. You've got homeowners that literally sit on part of the course that have said, "We will allow you to use part of our yards to put up operational things." That never happens at our events. I could go on and on. Operationally, it has been a challenge to fit a modern-day Open on 110 acres or so -- you just can't do it without incredible cooperation. This is going to be a different U.S. Open; this is going to be a boutique U.S. Open.
Is it true you'll lose money on this Open?
We've never selected a U.S. Open based on money. We want to be fiscally responsible; we know that's the engine that drives everything we do. I don't want to get off-topic, but the amount of money we put back into the game is significant. If you conservatively look at what the USGA has spent directly back into the game, it's almost a billion dollars in the last 12 years. There isn't anybody putting that kind of money back into the game. So we do need to be responsible.
But will the USGA lose money?
We find that when we go to a big venue like Bethpage or Pinehurst, they make millions and millions of dollars more. You go to a little site like Oakmont, Winged Foot, they will make some money, but after expenses, not a significant amount. And I'm excluding the television rights fee, because with that it doesn't matter if it's a big or a small site. But when you go to an ultra-small site like Merion, it's true, we won't make money -- in fact, we'll lose some money. But we look at it from a standpoint of a five-year period, and we're very comfortable with where we are.
The U.S. Open is going to some non-traditional venues in the coming years, like Chambers Bay in Tacoma, Wash., and Erin Hills outside Milwaukee. What are your main criteria in picking a site?
We want to go to special venues. We want to move around the country because it's a national championship, and Merion is so historic. If you look at all of our U.S. Open sites, I'm not sure we have one where there's been more history made, more great moments in time, than Merion. And it's just a great architectural course. Even if it means making a lot less money, it's just the right thing to do. It's a special thing to see those wicker baskets.
What can players expect to see at Merion?
Tight fairways, thick rough, great greens that reek with character; it's a wonderful blend of short and long. But when we go to Pinehurst next year, you're not going to see any rough.
Phil Mickelson should love that.
He should love that! A few others should, too! And when you get to Chambers Bay, it's about playing on a course that's new, that's built on sand. We have never played on fine fescue putting greens. These players, unless they've gone to Bandon Dunes, they will have never played on fine fescue. It looks like it wouldn't putt well, but it does. The ball doesn't hop on it. And you can turn the irrigation off and it doesn't die. It goes dormant.
That seems like something the USGA should support. It's a green idea.
It's wonderful. If you go back and look at the U.S. Amateur there from 2010 -- this was in August, so granted, it's much drier then than it is in June -- the golf course was the same color as my office walls [beige].
There were reports, though, that the course got a bit too firm and fast.
It did. It got too firm in practice rounds, and we did apply a good bit of water. But it wasn't enough. After we got done with the stroke play, we literally dunked it with the equivalent of three inches of water. And finally, we got it to the right firmness. It was a little bit of a learning experience for us. There is no ideal U.S. Open site. Name one and I can tell you about problems with it.

When it comes to Valentine's Day wines, take the advice of John Johnson, owner of The Wine Rack (2632 Frankfort Ave.): "You don't want to screw up," he says. "And you don't want a bottle that looks like you got it off the bottom shelf at a drug store. You need an extra edge to make it memorable."
If you're trying to get lucky (and, really, who isn't?), Johnson suggests an $18.99 bottle from Southern France's Gérard Bertrand winery. It's called a Cremant de Limoux Brut Rose. I can't pronounce it either. Again, let Johnson explain: "It's a French sparkling wine," he says. "It has wonderful red berry and floral notes on the nose, along with hints of rising bread."
Johnson says the wine is a blend of 70 percent Chardonnay, 20 percent Chenin Blanc and 10 percent Pinot Noir. "It pairs quite well with everything from shellfish to spicy Asian cuisine," he adds. "If you wish to share it with your valentine over chocolates and strawberries, it's equally ideal for that as well."

Yesterday during the Lukewarm Topic, we were talking about the TV shows we like to "binge" on and watch all in a row. During this, someone called in to talk about something that happened between her favorite character and her.
Rock-A-Holic Maggie called in, she explained that she actually got to meet her favorite character from her favorite show and gave him her number.
He later texted her asking to see her breasts! Even though she said she wouldn't, her and her friend still went to his hotel room later on. She mentioned that she was down to do the deed until she looked at him and realized he's older and isn't really the character she admired in her teens.
Here's a news flash: If a male celebrity exchanges phone numbers with a woman, chances are that he will be contacting her because he is interested in her sexually.
Also, if he was younger and looked more like his TV character, she would have had sex with him. Hmm…it sounds a little shallow to me.
News flash two: Men aren't the only shallow ones in society.

The ongoing yarn about General Motors fielding a brace of rear-wheel drive flagship sedans based on a new generation Premium Zeta platform has hit the big time, with Motor Trend reporting that the platform will underpin a sport sedan for Chevrolet. Last month, the rejigged Zeta was touted as the basis for a flagship Buick that would finally, and properly, challenge Lexus. MT's report says there will be two wheelbases for this new Zeta, and that those two variants will do duty under a Cadillac, a U.S. Buick and potentially a Chinese-market Buick, and several Holden models along with the aforementioned Chevy.
As the basis for premium sedans, General Motors could spend the money to make it properly light and strong through the use of high-strength steels. The Chevy sport sedan mentioned would be "a kind of four-door Camaro" – Pontiac G8 GXP redux, anyone? – while the Buick only gets described as "cushier," and both would go on the shorter wheelbase Zeta.
The most interesting tidbit could be Cadillac's use of the long-wheelbase platform. MT prices a Cadillac flagship at between $125,000 and $140,000 and says the Zeta-based Cadillac, Whitacre's S-Class rival for the Crest-and-Wreath brand, will sit beneath it. If it all comes to pass, that would give Cadillac a larger CTS, then an XTS, then a properly sporting high-end luxury competitor, then a one-Caddy-to-rule-them-all ne plus ultra model by 2014 or so. Hat tip to Joshua!

Psychoacoustic Evaluation of a Perceptual Spatial-Audio Coding Technique for Speech and Noise
A new technique for the perceptual spatial-audio coding of sound stimuli that allows individualized spatial-audio presentation was evaluated psychoacoustically. The experiments were conducted in virtual auditory space using speech and noise stimuli. There were three sound conditions: (i) 'own ear,' using the listener's filter functions; (ii) 'different ear,' using another listener's filter functions; and (iii) 'encoded ear,' using a spatial-audio encoding.

*Moist areas are highlighted to show where storm surge flooded in the town of Jalakhati, Barisal division. (UNOSAT - Satellite data as on November 19, 2007)
December 16, 2007 - Praful Patel, Vice President, World Bank, recently visited the cyclone-affected Kalapara upazilla of Patuakhali District and Barisal division. Patel also flew over southern coastal areas, covering Kuakata, Patharghata, and Shoronkhola, as well as the Sundarbans forest to observe the devastation caused by the Cyclone Sidr."I was shocked to see the devastation caused by Cyclone Sidr and its impact on the people," said Patel. "Even after one month, the damage remains evident. The experience was clearly dreadful and the challenge of recovery is enormous. But I was also moved by the people's resilience and their drive to get back on their feet."At the conclusion of the visit, Patel has discussed two key areas that are needed to be addressed in order to succeed in a long-term disaster management and mitigation efforts.1. Economic challenges faced by Bangladesh2. Challenge of climate changeImmediately after the Cyclone Sidr, the World Bank offered up to offered up to US$ 250 million assistance to cover immediate, medium-term and long-term needs.1. The first part of this assistance strategy is designed to support the country's immediate budget needs with $100 million from original $75 million.2. $50 million has been allocated for livelihood restoration support to support the post-cyclone recovery.3. The remaining $125 million, is for supporting the long-term vision of disaster prevention and management This would involve activities like building and repairing embankments as well as more shelters.The World Bank recently provided US$ 75 million in budget support following the devastating floods and is preparing additional support of US$122 million by reallocating funds from the current International Development Association commitment to Bangladesh.The Bank is engaging the Government in a planning process that looks at coastal zone management, precisely the area that is most vulnerable in Bangladesh. This will include building climate resilience into infrastructure design, strengthening mangrove and tidal shelter belts. There is a need to integrate adaptation strategy into all policy making and new infrastructure decisions.Patel reiterated that the World Bank is fully committed and stands ready to contribute in whichever way possible, to the government's long-term disaster management and mitigation efforts. "We will closely work with the government, development partners, NGOs and the local community on some suggested interventions that I have outlined to make a difference to the lives of Bangladeshi people," said Patel.
Bangladesh has been burdened by three adverse shocks this year. First, is the unabated increase in the price of oil. Second, is the damage caused by the floods in July-September and third, is the destruction by Cyclone Sidr.The increased oil prices likely to contribute 2.3% in losses to the national GDP, which amounts to $1.6 billion. The rising oil and fertilizer prices are likely to place an inordinate fiscal burden on the federal budget in 2008.While firm estimates of damages caused by Cyclone Sidr are not available yet, the preliminary numbers on damages suggest that the magnitude of loss suffered by the economy due to the two natural disasters is very large—floods causing over $1 billion and cyclone probably over $2 billion.The Bangladesh government alone cannot deal with a problem of such enormous magnitude. "I appeal to everyone, most specifically to our development partners, to come forward and help the country in this hour of need," said Patel.
Bangladesh's future is trapped between the melting Himalayas in the north and the encroaching Bay of Bengal to the south. Together with climate change, this makes Bangladesh extremely vulnerable to natural disasters. As recent research has shown, climate change is projected to worsen the intensity and frequency of natural disasters. Of course that will adversely impact development and, as always, the poor will suffer the most. The climate change issue puts Bangladesh in a more difficult situation. The challenge now is natural disaster augmented by climate change.

Calzedonia's SS14 Swim Show, Verona
We've just returned from the sunny climes of gelato-filled Verona - the home of star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. We ate divine spreads of cold meats and quashed Prosecco, enjoyed a catwalk of hot bods in swimwear and grilled the industry's finest on how they keep their bodies swim-ready. Let's just say, Proscuitto was not one of their tips. Oh well.
Sara Sampaio
We caught up with Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated model Sara Sampaio backstage for her third season as the face of the brand. The New York-based model's swim-body rules include 'sucking it all in!', not eating pizza every day and working out with her personal trainer twice a week 'I'm lucky with my metabolism, I'm not gonna lie!' she told Grazia Daily. Helpful! But she did tell us her new fitness obsession is 'SLT'. Short for Strenghten, Lengthen and Tone, 'it's like Pilates on a Megaformer machine - it's the perfect workout for a bikini body!' On the beach the brunette beauty opts for triangle bikinis in bright colours, the smaller the better, 'seriously, I like them to be tiny, Brazilian, everything… when I'm with my friends I just go topless as I really hate tan-lines'. Well we can kinda see why...
Super swim and lingerie model and the face of Calzedonia, Sara Sampaio
Megan Williams
British-born and Surrey-bred model Megan Williams is signed to Storm London. She's been working with Calzedonia and Intimissimi for two years. She's also a firm SLT convert (annoyingly we don't seem to have this over in the UK yet, but like most fitness trends they start in NY and quickly wing their way over - in the meantime we are definitely hitting up our nearest Pilates machines): 'It's really good for what we need for our bodies - creating length and muscle-tone - and it's way more fun than going to the gym'. As for beauty she favours Dr Haushka rose products and Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser 'because it's so light and natural'. On the beach Williams, opts for a bandeau bikini (a model's got to stay away from those tan lines) 'but if I was going to a beach party I'd wear a really fabulous cut-out one piece like the black mesh number I wear in the show, or those Herve Leger bandage costumes'.

Bip Ling
Self-named 'friend of Calzedonia', blogger and model Bip Ling was at the show too, wearing her favourite leggings from the brand. Along with holding customising workshops in Calzedonia's Westfield store (she loves anything where she can paint!), she's blogging, 'mooching' (so says her first music video) and creating music. 'I'm trying to find the right producers to work with - the next song is a poem to Mooch, my cartoon character on the blog. I'm working on the sound at the moment but would love to do more music - it's just another way of working on my ideas.' On her awesome white Louis Vuitton platforms she says 'they're so comfy, I think I'm going to be in them all summer'.

And as a parting note, it turns out Italian swimwear shows feature male models too. We're organising our next trip already!

Novena Maternity Skin Care Bearberry Brightener Lotion reduces the developing brown spots due to hormonal changes and sun exposure during pregnancy.
This light lotion helps decrease existing pigmented spots that may have developed from previous pregnancies and leaves skin balanced with a velvety matte feel and appearance.
Keep your skin clear of brown spots before and during pregnancy or erase the spots pregnancy left behind.
Slows down the production of melanin ( the cells that give skin its color) to prevent the mask of pregnancy from appearing.
Oily and Acne skin customers love this product because it penetrates deep into the skin and leaves no greasy feel. Disappears into the skin in seconds.
Melasma is darkening of skin caused by hormonal fluctuations usually occurring during pregnancy and shows up around the checks, nose and forehead areas. This condition is known as the mask of pregnancy. Melasma will get worse with exposure to sun. Avoiding direct sun light and wearing natural broadspectrum sunscreens of spf factor 30 or more will help control further development of the mask of pregnancy. Using melanin inhibiting products like Novena Maternal Skin Cares Bearberry Brightener Moisturizers for oily skin or sensitive dry skin that contain a mix of natural melanin inhibiting ingredients is the best way to prevent the development of melasma before it comes out.

Why We Came South
As we prepare for the new year ahead, we'll be sharing several Southern & Jewish posts reflecting on "how we spent our summer." Today's post come from two guests who visited us down South, Jay Saper and Margot Seigle.
This May, the two of us—white Jews who grew up in the Midwest—traveled down to Mississippi. Inspired by emerging efforts to develop the South as a hub for cooperative enterprise, we sought to learn more at the Jackson Rising New Economies Conference. Like the Jews involved in the Civil Rights movement in the generations before us, we came South, too.
As we waited for the shuttle to pick us up from the Medgar Evers Airport to take us to Jackson State University, we strolled into an exhibit about the person after whom the airport was named. In 1954, Medgar Evers was appointed the first NAACP field secretary for the state of Mississippi. He traveled the state courageously advocating for Black rights.
Evers' bravery came with a toll. After driving home on the evening of June 12, 1963, he took shirts reading "Jim Crow Must Go" out of the car to bring inside his home. He started up his driveway, but a bullet took his life before he could make it to the door.
The following year, building on Evers' dedicated decade of organizing, a coalition of civil rights organizations launched Mississippi Freedom Summer. It was a summer of change – and of more loss. As we read the names of Chaney, Schwerner, and Goodman on the wall of the exhibit in the Jackson airport, we wondered at their legacy, and our own role in coming South.
At the Jackson Rising New Economies Conference we learned about an exciting way people in the South are working to challenge racism today: by building a democratic economy that meets their presently unmet needs. This approach to community resilience comes out of a long tradition documented by Jessica Gordon Nembhard in Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice.
We got to meet with John Zippert, a fellow Jew who has long acted in solidarity with Blacks in the South to advance racial and economic justice through the cooperative model. The son of refugees from Nazi Germany, Zippert was active in social struggles from a young age in New York City. In the summer of 1965, Zippert went South as a volunteer with the Congress of Racial Equality. He helped farmers looking for a better price on their sweet potatoes to set up a cooperative. Through this work he met Carol Prejean. The two would go on to be the first married interracial couple in Louisiana.
Since 1970, Zippert has been working for the Federation of Southern Cooperatives, an organization that grew directly out of the Civil Rights Movement. The Federation works to maintain Black owned land and expand the use of cooperatives for economic development. It has been integral to challenging discrimination against Black farmers by the USDA. In 2012, Tuskegee University inducted Zippert into the George Washington Carver Hall of Fame for his tireless dedication to those who are disadvantaged.
The organizers from Cooperation Jackson and the Southern Grassroots Economies Project communicated with us that the movement for economic democracy is building in exciting and powerful ways. There is still a lot of work to be done, and when we come together, that work can get done. That's why we came South, and will continue to partner with the amazing individuals and groups fighting for social change today.

Seek Stories, Not Stereotypes
There's one page I follow obsessively on Facebook: Humans of New York.
Brandon, the photographer and author behind HONY, approaches total strangers, takes their photos, and asks questions that are often incredibly personal. He doesn't wait for strangers to approach and share their stories, instead he openly investigates and uplifts voices otherwise overlooked.
I've been following HONY quite some time now, and recently this page has been sharing stories far away from New York City. In partnership with the United Nations, supported by the Secretary General's MDG Advocacy Group, Brandon is currently traveling to 10 countries over the course of 50 days, to visit faraway places and listen to as many people as possible.
When I opened the page today, there were several postings from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Each photo came with a unique story, informed by personal experience.
A question was on my mind that Malkie Schwartz posed to me when I first came to the ISJL, to begin my work as a Community Engagement Fellow: "What do you think of when you think about Africa?"
Most of the images I associated with Africa throughout my childhood had to do with Aid for Africa campaigns. Young children, malnourished, dusty, reaching out for food and help. This made me think. What if these were the only images you ever saw of Africa? What would you think of someone who came from there?
It's difficult, and I think wrong, to see an entire continent as one-dimensional: needy, desolate, ravaged by AIDS.
This particular image from the HONY/United Nations project struck me. There's a young man, standing in the middle of street, next to a poster of some young boys sitting on the ground, asking for food. In the caption that accompanies this photograph, the man says he does not like pictures like the one next to him. The man, credited as a Human of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, says: "It is not good to deduce an entire country to the image of a person reaching out for food. It is not good for people to see us like this, and it is not good for us to see ourselves like this… This gives us no dignity."
He's right, and why can't we elevate voices like his?
There's a great campaign by The Norwegian Students' and Academics' International Assistance Fund that asks similar questions. They depict Norway as a cold, sad country that can't afford to keep its citizens warm. They call for Africans to lend a hand and send radiators to Norway, to save the poor people that can't help themselves. They ask, what if campaigns like this were the only thing you knew about Norway? What would you think of the country? Malkie wrote about this campaign awhile back, and it's pretty eye-opening.
So here is my social justice challenge for the day, for all of us: go read a story about a company in Africa, learn about a local initiative. Think of positive adjectives to accompany the many negative ones we see in aid campaigns. Don't perpetuate the negative stereotypes. We don't like it when we experience it – we should actively work to avoid doing it to others.
It's something I'll be bearing in mind when it comes to Africa, and to my community engagement work here in the South, as well. Stereotypes are limiting. Stories open doors.

Yes, I'm Celebrating a New Jewish Holiday Today
Let's make a new Jewish holiday.
Let's make a new Jewish holiday.
When I opened a recent daily e-mail from The Jewish Daily Forward, that's what author J.J. Goldberg invited me to do.
Reading the headline, "Why We Should Honor Slain Civil Rights Workers With Jewish Holiday," my instinct was to feel skeptical. We've already got the High Holidays, three festivals, Chanukah, Purim, Tu Bish'vat, days devoted to the state of Israel and the Holocaust, minor fast days, and 52 Shabbatot every year. We have the Omer count, the month of Elul, and the 9 days leading up to Tisha B'av – periods of time that, while not quite holidays, are additional times of year already marked with meaning.
We need another holiday now?
The headline startled me a little and confused me even more. But then I did what I probably should have done right away. I read the article. It turns out that Goldberg might just be onto something.
I won't spell out all of the specific points of the article, but I will hone in on one portion, where Goldberg describes a large group of modern-day Jews – those who connect to Judaism largely because they believe that it relates issues of social justice. Furthermore, he explains, these people are often not connecting with Jewish institutions – despite the fact that many of them feel a passionate connection to their Jewish identities.
He asks a vital question about this sub-section of the Jewish people. "How can the Jewish community approach them, when its agendas, institutions and even calendar so little resemble their Judaism?"
Many Jewish texts, including our most holy, contain ideas that many in this modern-day cohort would love. Environmental ethics can be found all over the Torah. Anti-war activists need look no farther than the book of Isaiah's cry to beat our swords into ploughshares. Texts in the Mishnah can be linked to Transgender equality today.
But there's a problem with this. The aforementioned sub-section of Jews likely isn't just picking up the book of Isaiah or a tractate of Mishnah on a regular basis. There needs to be an entry point. An occasion where the Jewish community collectively trumpets from its synagogues and community centers that this tradition exists. That social justice has long been a part of our tradition, and, God-willing, will still be for centuries to come.
We cannot and should not conclude that social justice and Judaism are the same. They are not. In addition to the above examples, there are real elements of the Jewish tradition that challenge, or even directly contradict, many liberal pre-dispositions. Sometimes those of us who are liberal overlook that vital truth, and to do so is a mistake.
But, if done thoughtfully, a Jewish holiday recognizing our historic connection to issues of social justice could be a vital tool as we look for ways to engage this group of Jews. It could be the perfect entry point for those who care about Social Justice and their Jewish identity, but have not yet learned how to blend those two passions into one.
So today, 16th of Tammuz (July 14th), I'm taking JJ Goldberg's advice, and celebrating those links that exist between Jewish tradition and values of social justice. I'll be balancing a look back at the past with a gaze into the future. I'll take some time to reflect on the murders of three civil rights workers in my very own state of Mississippi, and, more positively, on the incredible work that was done in the aftermath of their deaths. As I look forward, I'll be thinking about steps that I can take, as a Jew and as a human being, to minimize the possibility of similar crimes from being committed today or in the future.
I invite you to join me.

David Kwong is a New York Times crossword puzzle creator and also a magician. In this video, he shows how his two passions collide and how we are all wired to solve puzzles and make order out of chaos
New York City magician and mentalist, Kent Axell, who grew up in central Maine, returns home for a big show Saturday, July 26. Readfield Union Meeting House presents Kent Axell's 'Determined.'
Mike, a co-worker of mine and I were watching this video and we think we kind of figured out the trick. It may not work on everybody, but I think it works on most for a certain reason. If you watch it twice, you'll probably get it as well.
Magic!, this dad would like to have a word with you, please.
Magic! stopped by 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' last night and performed their summer hit, 'Rude!'
It's hard not to be excited when you hear Magic! discuss their music.
I'm always amazed by good magic and that's just what we got on the show this morning. Kracker Jack Magic promises more of the same only bigger and better this Sunday at KidFest at Champions in the Elm Plaza in Waterville!
Kracker Jack Magic and Sukestar will, once again, be at Kidfest in Waterville this year and I am sooooo excited. I love magic.
This year, Kracker Jack is going to perform tricks the he says will blow your mind! One involves a sealed pack of cards that I bought at Hannaford today. He'll do that one at 1pm this Sunday. Kidfest runs 10-3 Sunday at Champions in the Elm Plaza Waterville.
Here is a video from the Moose Morning Show last year...
"Keep the Wheels Rollin'," is what the show's called. We're talking about the wheels that deliver meals to shut-ins all over central Maine. These are people who look forward to, not just the meal, but also, the company. Honestly, with government cutbacks, too many are on a waiting list.
What a great day with Todd and the guys at Stratham Tire in Augusta and their customer appreciation day, complete with a car show, Red Sox and Larry the Cable Guy ticket giveaways and amazing magic from Kracker Jack Magic!

DEFINITION of 'Dual Trading'
When a broker simultaneously executes customer orders and places trades in his or her own account, or one in which he or she has a beneficial interest, on the same trading day. This is also known as acting as both an agent and a dealer at the same time. Dual trading is prevalent in the futures market.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Dual Trading'
Dual trading is a very controversial issue. Proponents say that when brokers are able to trade in their own accounts as well as those of their customers, they contribute to market performance and liquidity because personal broker trades make up a large portion of trading volume. On the other hand, opponents say that banning dual trading would not affect market liquidity, and would eliminate unlawful trading by removing any conflicts of interest.

Wolfdancer Golf Club
575 Hyatt Lost Pines Rd
Lost Pines, Texas 78612-3863
Course Details/History
Architect Name - Arthur Hills, ASGCA/Steven P. Forrest, ASGCA
Regulation Length Holes - 18
Golf.com Editorial
Austin may be best known for its live music, barbecue and Texas football, but developing its own distinctive status is the area's newest golf resort, the family-friendly Hyatt Regency Lost Pines. Its affiliated golf course, Wolfdancer is primarily the creation of Chris Wilczynski, then of Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest Associates, who let his imagination run rampant in solving the puzzle of how to route golf holes over three distinct landforms -- rolling prairie land, a forested ridgeline and a valley populated with pine and pecan trees. The upper section of the course could fairly be called Texas heathland, with breezes to match. The showstopper here is the 155-yard, drop-shot, par-3 12th, its green clinging to the side of a mountain, which looks like it could give way should a foursome of NFL lineman choose to putt simultaneously. If variety equates to fun, you'll have a blast at Wolfdancer.

Last month's abundant rain caused some temporary delays to the turf field project at Charlottesville High School - and those delays are now forcing the football team to adjust its schedule.
Athletic director Rick Lilly announced on Wednesday that the school's homecoming game has been moved to November 4, when the Black Knights host Powhatan in their regular season finale.
The original plan was for the October 14 game against Western Albemarle to be homecoming at CHS. But that game has been moved to October 13 at Monticello, Lilly said Wednesday.
The projected completion date for the field renovation is now November 2. Lilly said workers hope to begin laying the turf by next week.

The Red Chilli Hideaway Limited is seeking an enthusiastic and energetic management couple to help our existing team manage The Red Chilli Hideaway: a large, busy budget lodge and campsite in Kampala. We are looking for a management couple as a permanent addition to the team and commitment would be for a 12 month contract initially, renewable yearly, subject to approval from both parties.
The Red Chilli Hideaway in Kampala was first established in 1998. We specialise in providing great value for money in terms of budget accommodation and safari tours for independent travellers. We have recently relocated to a beautiful, purpose built lake-side plot of land about 10km from the city centre and sleep between 70 and 150 people per night, in a mixture of tents, dorms, & rooms - both with shared bathrooms and ensuite. In addition we have plans to further expand by adding between 5-10 more luxurious self-catering cottages. We also run Red Chilli Rest Camp in Murchison Falls National Park in the North of Uganda.
Red Chilli runs a healthy tour business, organising budget tours to Murchison Falls NP and Queen Elizabeth NP. We currently send over 3,500 people per annum on budget tours to both destinations but plan to add more tours to other areas of Uganda and expand this area of the business as tourism to Uganda continues to grow.
Ideal candidates will be willing to commit for at least 12 months. They will have lived or worked previously in sub-Saharan Africa and have prior experience in the hospitality industry. A lively, friendly and out-going nature are essential!
Ideal candidates will also possess the following:
- Minimum A-level (or equivalent) standard of education.
- Management experience (we currently employ around 50 members of staff)
- Excellent inter-personal skills
- Numeracy and a sound knowledge of book-keeping procedures (day to day and monthly returns).
- Computer literacy (Microsoft Word and Excel).
- Catering experience (oversight of a busy restaurant & bar).
- Experience of tackling repairs and maintenance issues... with any building experience a real plus
- Internationally recognised driving licence
Hours will be flexible but will include early starts and late finishes, though not always at the same time!
Other perks include the chance to go on the odd safari, see plenty of hippos, and indulge in some of the other safari and adventure activities available in Uganda!
