Councilwoman Attica Scott Seeks to Raise Minimum Wage in Metro Louisville
Democratic Councilwoman Attica Scott is seeking a legal opinion on whether city lawmakers can raise the minimum wage for all workers in Louisville Metro.
Scott is hoping to file an ordinance in the coming weeks that would mirror legislation in the Kentucky General Assembly. It would increase the hourly pay for employees to $10.10 per hour over the next three years.
"We are unsure at this point if we have the legislative authority to do that," she says.
The Jefferson County attorney's office hasn't responded to Scott's inquiry as of yet. But the west Louisville Democrat told WFPL she expects to hear something by the end of this week.
The debate over a minimum wage hike has become a state and national this year.
In the state legislature, House Democrats pushed through their proposal along a party-line vote after a fiery debate. The bill is now in the state Senate, but observers doubt it will make it out of the Republican-controlled chamber.
"I've followed the Kentucky legislature for over a decade now, and I know you never know what's going to happen in the state Senate. So instead of waiting, which we often do, let's take some proactive steps now for folks who are earning minimum wage," says Scott. "If the state bill passes there will be no need for us to continue the conversation. If it doesn't pass then at least we're moving in that direction locally."
The Democrats hold a 17-member majority, but it's unclear if the party or Mayor Greg Fischer would get behind a local proposal. Council GOP members haven't heard much about Scott's bill, but they're skeptical of the idea nonetheless.
"If I were a business owner in Indiana I would think that's a great idea for Louisville Metro to do that," says Republican Council Jerry Miller, who is running for state House this year. "Facing two bridges opening up in the next three years and to think that we might lose more economic development to Indiana is a scary prospect."
While Scott awaits an opinion from the county attorney, the council's Community Affairs Committee is holding a special discussion on the minimum wage Wednesday afternoon.
Democratic Councilwoman Barbara Shanklin, who chairs the committee, has invited Bill Londrigan, president of Kentucky AFL-CIO, and Joe Wise, business manager of the Greater Louisville Building Construction Trade Council to testify.
Both labor leaders support a minimum wage hike and no other guests are scheduled to appear before the committee, however. Critics argue the lopsided hearing doesn't speak well for the council's overall intentions.
"I've not heard about this issue coming up in front of the Metro Council, but I certainly would hope they would reach out and let both sides voice their concerns about the issue," says Tod Griffin, president of the Kentucky Retail Federation, which opposes the proposed hike.
"We're certainly trying to get our side of the debate out there. I know there's been a couple of public opinion polls that look like the minimum wage is popular, but that's certainly not the whole story. We're trying to get the word out about the detrimental effects that it'll have on businesses here in Kentucky."
A recent Bluegrass Poll showed 61 percent of Kentuckians favor increasing the minimum pay of workers to $10.10 an hour. Democrats have been arguing this is a way to help lift Americans out of poverty.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates such a hike would increase the earnings of 16.5 million Americans in a report released Tuesday.
But the same report also bolsters Republican opposition by showing a $10.10 per hour increase would reduce U.S. employment by 500,000 workers. The CBO finds a $9 minimum wage increase would result in the loss 100,000 jobs in 2016.
"It's a simple economic argument and that is when you increase cost to businesses those business owners have to make decisions about how to handle those costs. In this case, when you increase the cost of jobs you'll have less jobs," says Griffin.
The community affairs committee is schedule to meet Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at City Hall.

Heading into a tricky three-game road trip with games against the Clippers, Warriors and Bucks, the Thunder appear to be in a great spot. They're 5-1, with their only loss being what now seems to have been a bit of an outlier, and with Russell Westbrook back, they seem to be whole again.
But the stunning comeback against the Wizards illustrated the team maybe has matured a little bit without Westbrook. It seemed like every problem the team was having was mostly fixed by his return, but facing a 10-point deficit with four minutes to go and their All-Star point guard in the locker room, the Thunder's supporting cast sparked a run to forced overtime, and did the job in the extra frame.
After the game, Kevin Durant even said it was "some of the best basketball I've been a part of here." It was obvious how excited he was about the Thunder's others after the game last night. It's November and hitting a big transition 3 against the Wizards is a lot different than doing it against the Spurs in May, but you've got to start somewhere.

does GERD or acid reflux cause central apneas?
I read on a forum that somehow the acid causes the brain to not give the signal to breathe
robysue wrote:The basic problem in central sleep apnea is what can be described as a Undershoot/Overshoot cycle as far as the nighttime CO2 levels are concerned. That is for whatever reason, you stop breathing as you should. This is the initial UNDERSHOOT side of the cycle. When that happens, the CO2 builds up in the blood stream until your body finally kicks in and restarts respiration. However, since the CO2 has built up abnormally high you start to slightly hyperventilate and blow off too much CO2. This is the OVERSHOOT side of the cycle. You blow off too much CO2, and this reduces the respiratory drive and that sets the stage for another UNDERSHOOT side. On the UNDERSHOOT side of the cycle, your breathing becomes shallower and shallower and may stop altogether---i.e. you have a central apnea. At the end of the central apnea, you start breathing, but you hyperventilate again (the OVERSHOOT), which sets up the next UNDERSHOOT, and the cycle repeats.
The ASV machines are designed to treat central sleep apnea by monitoring how often you breathe and how much air you are inhaling. And it tackles treating the CSA with two tactics.
First, when you have not taken an inhalation in a certain amount of time, the machine will try to trigger an inhalation by rather drastically increasing the IPAP and then (at a set time frame) lower the pressure back down to your EPAP setting. If breathing does not resume, it will continue to try to trigger inhalations at a fixed 'breaths per minute rate' by first increasing the IPAP and then reducing the pressure back down to the EPAP. In other words, the machine will try to make sure that your lungs have enough O2 coming in to maintain your O2 levels while at the same time trying to insure that you will retain enough CO2 to trigger the breathing pattern. Both BiPAP S/T machines and ASV machines have this capability. Regular BiPAPs (including the BiPAP Auto), APAPs, and CPAPs doe NOT have this capability to trigger a patient to inhale.
But the ASV machines go a step further in treating Central Sleep Apnea: An ASV machine will, in essence, try to fix the central sleep apnea by eliminating the repetitive Undershoot/Overshoot cycle that sets up in central sleep apnea. To break this repetitive cycle, the ASV monitors your tidal volume since the tidal volume is a good indicator of how much CO2 you are blowing off with each exhalation. Low tidal volumes indicate that you are starting to drift into the UNDERSHOOT part of the cycle---i.e. you are not blowing off enough CO2. And when the ASV determines that you are not going to meet the target tidal volume on your own, the ASV quickly increases the IPAP pressure over a series of inhalations until it helps ascertain respiration even when you are not breathing as you should. This respiration allows your body to blow off enough CO2 so that you do not kick into the OVERSHOOT side of the cycle. Indeed, the machine is known as Adaptive Servo Ventilation (ASV) because the unit adapts to your breathing style and includes the timed response. They are the only machines designed to treat sleep disordered breathing with this capability.
The downside, of course, to the ASV's ability to break the Undershoot/Overshoot cycle that characterizes central sleep apnea is that the necessary algorithm requires rather dramatic and sudden increases in IPAP pressure. That's why your IPAP is going as high as it is: The machine is trying to do its job and break up the Undershoot/Overshoot cycle that is developing in your breathing pattern while you are asleep. But those sudden increases in pressure also can be very disruptive to sleeping. And it just takes time and hard work---most likely with some help from your sleep doc, to figure out how to sleep with these sudden and drastic pressure swings.

ARLINGTON -- Neftali Feliz was a starting pitcher Tuesday night for the first time in his major league career, five years after he was one of five prospects acquired in the Mark Teixeira trade.That's a long wait for the die-hard members of the Texas Rangers' fans base, as well as the front-office personnel who orchestrated the trade with Atlanta and had their curiosity put on hold.Though Feliz was a standout closer the past two seasons, there was always the belief that he could be come a No. 1 starter someday.He looked like an ace in his rotation debut, tossing seven scoreless innings and scattering four singles as he outpitched former minor league teammate Blake Beavan for a 1-0 victory over Seattle.David Murphy supplied the only run with a hard-hit one-hopper that didn't leave the infield with two outs in the second inning. Murphy went 3 for 3 as the Rangers managed just seven hits, six against 2007 first-round pick Beavan."This is a dream come true for me," Feliz said. "I was hoping for this moment, to become a starter in the major leagues, and it finally happened. I thank the Rangers for the chance to make me a starter, and here I am."It was a banner night for the Rangers' prospect Class of 2007. That includes Murphy, who was acquired in the Eric Gagne trade with Boston.Murphy added two doubles after his RBI single to up his early average to .533 but was stranded both times as the Rangers went 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position against Beavan, dealt away in the Cliff Lee trade, and Tom Wilhelmsen.But Feliz, Mike Adams and Joe Nathan were better.Feliz, like Yu Darvish on Monday, walked the first batter he faced, and would also walk Ichiro Suzuki with one out. But Feliz got Justin Smoak to hit into a double play to end the Mariners' best threat against him for six innings.He retired nine straight hitters until Smoak singled with two outs in the fourth to end Feliz's mastery against the Mariners at 0 for 58 to start his career.Smoak would single to start the seventh and would get to third base after a one-out single and a fielder's choice. Feliz got out of the jam, though just barely, when Miguel Olivo hit an innocent-looking squibber between the mound and first base.Feliz pounced on it, bobbled the ball, but recovered just in time to get the diving, slow-footed Seattle catcher.That was Feliz's only hiccup as he showed his plus-fastball early but also dropped in his changeup and curveball to keep Seattle hitters guessing."The fastball is my pitch," said Feliz, who became the third pitcher in Rangers history with seven scoreless innings in his first big league start. "I know I can use the changeup and everything else. But I have to use the fastball to get outs."Adams worked a perfect eighth inning, and Nathan picked up his second save with an easy ninth. Just as Feliz and Beavan are linked in the Rangers' rebuilding process, Nathan and Feliz are linked to Nov. 21.That's the day Nathan signed a two-year deal as a free agent to be the Rangers' closer and Feliz was moved to the rotation. It wasn't lost on Nathan."He's one of the reasons I'm here," Nathan said. "If he wanted to be a bullpen guy, I wouldn't be here. I thanked him on Day 1 of spring training, and he got the ball rolling from there."I know he busted his butt all winter and spring for his start today. For a guy who throws close to 100 mph to take that dedication to work on changeups and mixing up his breaking pitches ... I'm glad to see it pay off for him tonight."Jeff Wilson, 817-390-7760Twitter: @JeffWilson_FWST

LSD is a chemical way of dreaming; it is not a natural way. Through LSD you can see things that you have not known, realize things that you have never realized. But all these realizations are only apparent realizations; they are not real. They are beautiful, they have their own charm, just like a nice dream.
But LSD can project a nightmare also. It depends on you, not the LSD. If your mind is tortured, fragmented, and many untoward images are suppressed in it, that is what will be projected. There are persons who have seen hell on an LSD trip, there are persons who have seen demons. It depends on the person. All that a chemical drug can do is to project whatever is there to be projected.
Do not mistake your experiences on LSD for samadhi. And do not cling to such experiences or they will be an obstacle to meditation. You have felt so much through LSD dreams that when you enter into a real state of meditation it will seem faint in comparison. The experience of meditation is not so vital, you will not feel such a great upsurge of energy. This will then create a mood of depression because you will feel that something is being lost - that you have known something and this something is not coming to you through meditation. Then the mind will say, "LSD is better." And if you go on taking LSD, your mind will become less and less meditative, and meditation and its experiences will go on becoming fainter and fainter.
So don't take LSD again. It may have been just an experiment, but it has made an impact on your mind. That impact is dangerous because you will always be comparing: real meditation will seem unreal to you because the unreal has appeared to you as authentic.
Then, too, your comparison can never be accurate, because you cannot remember exactly what you have seen on your LSD trip once you are out of it just as you cannot remember a dream exactly, once you have awakened. Now you imagine the dream again - you add much to it. In the same way, when you are no longer under the influence of the LSD, you cannot remember it exactly as it was; there will only be a faint feeling of blissfulness. Now you will imagine the whole experience again, but this will not be exactly the experience that you had. It can never be. You have a feeling that you have seen something, that you have known something. That feeling is illusory.
A certain blissfulness can be revealed to you through the use of a chemical drug. Because of the drug you are totally relaxed; your tensions, at that moment, are withdrawn. It is not that they no longer exist - they are waiting to come back to you - but they are not in focus, so you relax totally. The revelation of bliss which comes when you are absolutely non-tense is so great that you will continue to experience a blissful feeling afterward as a hangover. In this bliss, you will imagine again what you have seen, what you have known, but now ninety percent of it will be imagination.

|Some of you guys are retards! How can you go to a story thats described as rape, young. Then read it all the way through, and then bitch about how offensive it is too read about a young person get raped? Is "regular non-violent rape" okay? Or maybe you are the ones that need help, because you are so confused between your professed moral high ground and the fact that you cant help read the same crap as the rest of us!

- Anniversary brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/23/2014Had an awesome anniversary brunch. The food was great and the service was great too. The only down side was we were sat smack in the middle of a huge family table. The group was large and loud. I wish you could kind of put those big tables off to themselves because we felt like we were intruding on them and they definitely made it hard to have a quiet conversation with my husband. This has happened a cpipe of times and it is awkward because you don't want to seem rude by asking to be moved because they are a large group and just naturally louder Just a suggestion because there were 3 tables like us feeling like we were stuck in the middle of someone else's Sunday family dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday DinnerCowboyDined on 11/18/2014Blackened Prime Rib was excellent. Chicken Alfredo was very bland. Veal Palermo was very good. Filet was excellent Very noisy for a Tuesday night. Service was ok. Glasses were empty more than full. Normally Ruffinos is a very good place for a birthday meal or any special occasion, but this time I was kinda disappointed. In the service and noise level.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WowOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/17/2014Food and service was amazing!! They were personable and service was great. I will be going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- unhappy customerpdaliagaDined on 11/16/2014the food was way below average. The service was not good....prices were too high for that type of place. We will never come back there.....I do not know how they still on business.
- DougDined on 11/11/2014Always great food and fun. Great atmosphere. Friendly service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary was very CompletepjpolkDined on 11/11/2014The dinning experience was excellent, along with the service. My wife and I are returning customers and have had problems in the past with proper trained waiters. This was not the case Nov. 11th, thank you for the evening it was very enjoyable. Dinning Room a little noisySpecial Features:
- FINE DINING, GREAT FOODLarryDined on 11/11/2014Ruffino's has been around for quite sometime, but I had never been. Boy, was I glad we gave it a try! The food was fantastic, and although it was PACKED (on a Tuesday!), the service was great. I had the Lobster Mac and Cheese as an appetizer, and the Soft Shell Crab an an entree. Delicious! My wife, had the lasagna, which was also terrific. We will definitely be dining there again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MurphyDined on 11/9/2014Service was lacking.the servers forgot we were there.had to remind them that we were there to eat. Thought for the prices charged that service would have been better. Had to send one steak back as it was very under cooked from what was requested at Order placement.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fell short of expectationswesleykDined on 11/9/2014The food was good, but fell short of the hype. Overpriced for the quality.Special Features:
- AmazingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/6/2014Everything was amazing. Delicious food awesome service great ambiance perfect for a girls night or romantic night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/31/2014My wife and I visited for the first time there. We ordered a salad and she specifically said she didn't want cheese on it. Well, she got cheese on it. (strike 1). Then for dinner she ordered some vegetables and didn't want cheese on those either. Well she got it again. (strike 2). We asked the server on the price of a certain steak and he 'guessed' at the price. Well, when we got the bill- his 'guess' was WAY off. The price was MUCH more! Had we known that - we may have ordered something else. I ordered the lasagna and I honestly have had better at less pricey restaurants.We also received the bill and it was really overpriced for what we thought was small meal.Special Features:
- Forgot BirthdayDisappointedBdayDined on 10/26/2014Dinner was great, but not as good as Lafayette. I told the hostess to tell the server it was my fiance's birthday we were celebrating, but it was not recognized. Disappointed that we did not get the service we got in Lafayette.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch at Ruffino'sJosieDined on 10/19/2014Went for brunch with my husband. Service was excellent. Food was very good. Other than the loud people sitting behind me who kept encouraging their 2 year old kid to misbehave, squeal loudly & run around the table(terribly annoying because the tables were pretty close together)it would have been a great brunch.They also kept taking photos of the kid & the flash of their camera was quite annoying.There was a kid at another table further down who was much better behaved but was still a bit loud. I'm not a child hater,but I prefer to have peace & quiet when I go to a "nice" restaurant for brunch. Looks like it's more of a family atmosphere than a "date" restaurant.My mistake.Staff was great.Would recommend this place, but NOT for a quiet date!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nice!Foodie2Dined on 10/17/2014Had our anniversary dinner there, food was superb, wait staff was attentive, wine suggestions spot on! Too expensive for me to frequent often but perfect for special occasions.Special Features:
- goodTazdogVIPDined on 10/10/2014Have noy been here in a while. It is as good as it has been in the past.Special Features:
- Special occasion perfectionRobochef6Dined on 10/5/2014The service was impeccable. Great team Outstanding Crabmeat Cheesecake Appetizer. When I made the reservation, I told them that I wanted to make it a special, romantic dinner. We were greeted at our table with a comp champagne cocktail followed by a comp taste of their crabmeat ravigote. We ordered the hog head snapper and lobster for entrees, both cooked to perfection. This restaurant definitely made my top tenSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great as AlwaysSROFBRDined on 10/5/2014Enjoyed another wonderful dinner ar Ruffino's again last night . Good food , great service as always . Will be back again .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent Italian FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/21/2014Went with my wife on Sunday night for a date. The ambiance and service is good and also the food is better than most other Italian restaurants in Baton Rouge. However, the restaurant is over-priced. I have had better italian food in new orleans and san francisco for less money.Special Features:
- BringYourWalletNewBobbyVanGrillfanDined on 9/19/2014Had not been to Ruffino's and some things had changed. Salads were now much more expensive because they added 1-2 ingredients and jacked up the price. Waiter was inattentive. We had to keep asking for bread and refills on drinks. Portions are still huge. Food good but a bit salty. Not going to rush back. For their prices, I expect better service and food. Had Open Table reservation, but wasn't seated until 20 minutes later. Waited with some who were walk-ins who were told the wait would be 45 minutes and had not been seated 2 hours later. Atmosphere is always festive, making you ready for gameday. However, other restaurants offer similar at a better price.Special Features:
- ReservationspjpolkDined on 9/19/2014This would be my only complaint, the reservations were made on line and the special requests were made for the Cafe' room in front of the Brick Oven. This request was not granted. I would have understood if the room had been filled but this was not the case, no one was dinning but we were still refused service in this area.Special Features:
- great restaurant in baton rougeop1981VIPDined on 9/15/2014great restaurant in baton rouge with notable wine list and great specialty menu itemsSpecial Features:
- Food is Outstanding & so is ServiceBodieDined on 9/14/2014We ate here for brunch on Sunday and was very pleased with the food and service. Chris was our drink man, he kept our glasses full of what ever we were having. And he listened to what we were saying, it was our 51st Wedding Anniversary and he sent out a special plate with a big 'Happy 51st ' on it along with a great Tiramisu!! We never mention to them that we were having our anniversary brunch there. What a great treat, that's what makes this restaurant so special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great mealJST66Dined on 9/14/2014My wife's birthday brunch was wonderful. The service was top notch and the food was fabulous.....as always.Special Features:
- Terrible experienceBRFood49Dined on 9/7/2014Reserved a table for 12th anniversary and was seated next to a very high traffic aisle going into a room where a fund raiser was taking place. The noise level was so loud, I could not hold a conversation with my wife....so much for a romantic anniversary dinner. The Prime rib was highly recommended by a regular and was not even on the menu. I felt very rushed by the wait staff. Needless to say we will never return to this restaurant.
- GreatRandJDined on 8/31/2014Me and my wife love Ruffino's. The only time we get to go is for special things, but it's our first choice when it's our anniversary, birthday, ect. Never had a bad meal there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ruffino's 1DiningGreatly1421Dined on 8/30/2014We drove up from Metairie to celebrate my brother-in-laws birthday. My wife, my sister-in-law and I ordered the veal ruffino. Our dish was good (not excellent). My wife's dish the veal was so hard and tough she sent it back and they brought out another dish of eggplant parmesan. The manager explained that their supplier was changed because he was delivering inferior product, but they still had some of the old product left at the restaurant. I checked the bill, we were charged for 4 meals. I feel they should have comped the second dish as the primary dish was bad. We have been to this restaurant many times and each time the food was excellent. We will not let this one time dictate our patronage, until we try eating there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome experienceGonzalesGirlDined on 8/29/2014Our girls night out was WONDERFUL. If you are trying to decide whether to go or not...do it. Its worth it.Special Features:
- Great Restaurantbanner28Dined on 8/22/2014The food and service was A+++++. Nice scenery and excellent serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great food, poor serviceLobsterfestDined on 8/19/2014Went for the Lobster Fest. The food was excellent, but our waiter did a terrible job. He (Darryl) was inattentive. The 2 bus boys (one very tall and the one with an eyepatch) tried to save the day but apparently did not have the authority they needed. Would like to have ordered a second round of cocktails, but was never given the opportunity. Had to ask the bus boy to serve our dessert. Had to ask the bus boy to get the waiter. Then had to ask the waiter for the check. Even after this, the waiter did not return to our table but sent the bus boy with our check.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful!talgeroDined on 8/17/2014Made the reservation for 9 pm, not knowing that they close at 9. (why is that an option?) But they still accommodated us nicely and the food was as fantastic as their reputation suggests.Special Features:
- Fantastic Evening (Again)!BuckInTigerLandDined on 8/17/2014For the second time in as many weeks my wife and I had a wonderful experience at Ruffino's. The food was fantastic, the recommendations on wine, specialty drinks, appetizers (the Crabmeat cheesecake is as advertised and the braised pork cheeks with butternut squash purée and bacon jam is the best appetizer we have every eaten anywhere!) and entrees by our waiters/waitresses were all perfect. Our new favorite restaurant in Baton Rouge! I cannot say enough good about Ruffino's and am looking forward to our next date night there!Special Features:
- Lobster nightmomoDined on 8/12/2014Loved appetizer and dessert but lobster filet mignonette was ok nothing spectacularSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food HorribleOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/4/2014Wife had a filet that was undercooked and not seasoned at all. I had the meatballs and spaghetti, meatballs had no texture to them and felt like I was eating a pile of mush. Definetly not worth the $100 bill that I spent. This was my first time dining at ruffinos and probably my last.Special Features:
- Staff was very kindSmarterWineDined on 8/4/2014My girlfriend and I had come here for our 2 year anniversary. Although the food was a bit slow, we didn't mind because we wanted the time to talk and enjoy the night anyway. The drinks came quickly, I had myself an old fashioned and she had a pineapple amaretto. The food was just okay when it did come out I had veal Parmesan and she had the spaghetti and meatballs. Although many people complained about the food in reviews, I thought it was fine and above average. If you are here to just enjoy the food, you might be a little disappointed because of the price. However, if you are here to enjoy the atmosphere, the kind staff, and just spending time with your significant other, I think it is the perfect place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Slightly disappointedSamsMom2VIPDined on 8/1/2014We've been to Ruffino's a number of times and have always been impressed with the food. I remember dining there Valentine's Day weekend and my fish entree was incredible!! However, I was disapponited with the lack of flavor in the food this time. The scallops entree was tasteless, and both of our fish entrees (one from the specials menu, and the other was the Amberjack), both were disappointing. On a good note- service was impeccable, and our white chocolate brownie dessert was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- my favorite placekajunladyDined on 7/31/2014Ruffino's is our favorite place to eat. Tge atmosphere and services are excellent. I recommend this restaurant to everyone and we have introduced lots of people to it . It's tge bestSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 236 reviews are from the Ruffino's reviews archive.
- Prime rib SpecialOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/29/2014I had the blackened prime rib special. For a normally good restaurant this was not up to my expectations. The cut was terrible. I could barely cut it and the blackened seasoning made it too salty. My wife's fish was very good, so it did help make up for my selection.Special Features:
- Made Birthday Celebration SpecialHappyDinerDined on 7/26/2014The food, wine, service and ambience were all outstanding! It made for a great Birthday Celebration for my daughter and our entire family.Special Features:

Today, I bring to you, a very fine selection of awesome from Bliss.
You NEED the Bliss Fabulips Set.
So bloody awesome peeps!
Today, I bring to you, a very fine selection of awesome from Bliss.
You NEED the Bliss Fabulips Set.
So bloody awesome peeps!
I introduced you to Bliss Fabulips Foaming Lip Cleanser earlier this month but Bliss has since gone full out and introduced an entire Fabulips Collection to get lips soft, smooth, and beautiful.
Check it!Read More...
I do wash my face, my teeth, my body…but I never thought I'd need to worry about cleaning my lips. But apparently I do need a lip cleanser if Bliss has anything to say about it.
Bliss Fabulips Foaming Lip Cleanser is an effervescent bubbling formula with cocoa butter, shea butter and rice bran extract gently cleanses lips, lifting away impurities like food residue and makeup. Ha interesting eh?
It's the easiest way to get your pout kissably clean plus it's the first-of-its-kinda cleanser for your lips!
Learn how you can win one!Read More...
My sister urged me to sit through an entire episode of Toddlers and Tiaras and I have to say I was fascinated by Mackenzie. She's going to be the spokesperson for reasons why you shouldn't have children.
Out of control! If you loved this just youTube her up and you'll see more of her incredible antics. She's only four mine you.
Anyway, she was brought to my mind today because she had a Spa Day with a facial. She had a chocolate facial which she really didn't want at all so you can imagine how she proceeded to throw herself on the floor and proceed to scream bloody murder. She did however spend alot of time eating the mask, girlfriend so does not need any sugar in her system as far as I'm concerned.
In my opinion someone should have slapped that kid with a bit of the new Bliss Fabulous Skin-Reviving Rubberizing Mask, she'd totally chillax after this treatment!
Check it!Read More...
Ok, totally thinking lewd thoughts about the Pulp Fiction gimp when I saw that Bliss had a new Rubberizing Mask.
Say word!
Yeah well, I totes won't admit that I have a Bring out the Gimp T-Shirt, nope, you didn't hear it from me.
But if you're wanting to get your inner gimp on the new Bliss Rubberizing Mask goes no holds barred (I will not say holes, I will not say holes…you either got that joke or you didn't. SWISH, that's the sound of it going over your head) on dull skin with this mask.
Check it!Read More...

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:
Summer 1939. "Amusements at carnival, Bozeman, Montana." Zaza in Bozeman -- has a certain ring to it, no? But we digress. Pony up a dime or move along. 35mm negative by Arthur Rothstein, Resettlement Administration. View full size.
I love you, Shorpy. I never know what interesting things I will learn here! Following the link to the 1939 edition of Life, I was fascinated enough to look through the rest of the magazine. The Letters to the Editor debating the need for military buildup and the unlikelihood of an attack on America gave me chills. Had history classes put such a human face on past events, I might have been a more attentive student.
Willy J. Jones ran the girlie revue the year we went to Canada. Long Tall Sally does a dance back in the alley, she wears a rose here, a rose there and a rose right where you're looking at young fellow and that ain't cigarette smoke coming out of your mouth! Hurry, Let's Go Now!
We used to go in and catch an act while on break. Willy didn't like us doing that because he said that leaving the show when our break was over, people would see us and think the show was no good and we were walking out, making it harder to build a tip. this was in 1972? We played the Canadian Fair Circuit, Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Red Deer, Prince Albert and a couple of others I can't remember.
These old carnival photos are great!
Life magazine had an article about a Zaza in January of 1939.
This is from a world that has so completely vanished in one lifetime that it boggles the mind. (I admit that I first imagined Bluto, Wimpy, Popeye and Olive Oyl inhabiting this scene.)
Hurry, hurry, hurry!! Step right up and see Little Egypt do the dance of the pyramids. She walks, she talks, she crawls on her belly like a reptile. Just one thin dime, one tenth of a dollar, to discover the delights of Little Egypt.
I find this photo fascinating - wish it were a bit larger. Zaza(?) is an interesting study, what with the furtive glance, the suggestion of small town mousiness coupled with a bit of a hard edge, the high collared cape and an impressive pair of mitts! Easy to imagine her gentleman friend being the slicked down barker or perhaps Bruno the Strongman. And that cowboy would do well to keep his hand on his wallet, lest it wanders off on its own. A classic shot that looks as though it might have been posed, but doubtless wasn't. Hats off to Arthur Rothstein.
I think Rod Serling is standing just off camera.
Barbra Stanwyck is in there dancing, and Henry Fonda just bought a ticket. Sturges had bounced around all over the country in his youth, and had seen what America looks like.

I have 3 fields in myTable like the following.
I like to produce my target output like the following.Code:
data in myTable
(ID) (name_class_blah_blah) (score)
(1) (Jane C3 ogdsbc) (75)
(2) (kate C2 ihc) (65)
(3) (Tom C1 kogv) (85)
(4) (Robert C3 kbgefxcg) (90)
(5) (Mary C1 bgfds) (60)
target result
(2) (kate C2 ihc) (65)
(3) (Tom C1 kogv) (85)
(4) (Robert C3 jbgefxcg) (90)
There are 2 persons in C1. they are Tom and Mary. Tom gets higher score than Mary. So Tom should be produced.
There are 1 person in C2. She is Kate. No one can get higher score than Kate.
So Kate should be produced.
There are 2 persons in C3. they are Jane and Robert.
Since Robert gets higher score than Jane, Robert should be produced.
The problem here is that the group key word comes in the middle of the values in "name_class_blah_blah" field.
Can I produce my target result with your help?
Thanks in Advance

What do you think about this video?
curt golden: So I don't really need the bose adapter for my 04 yukon xl. What about all
the chimes. I don't have onstar.
Peter Lyday: @tyma1026 was it the metra 70-2054 harness that you bought?
chris Williams: whats your address? Ive got business for you!!
Bluntski: And um?
saintsrow111: Sounds like Ernie from George Lopez show
Saidric Williams: Why would you rewire when you could just splice at the amp and reconnect. Seems like a waste of time to me
Buick Bob: now that's the way to explain, We have the bose system in our 91 c4 vette and the amp is under the dash ( glove. comp,)and a bitch to reach & then no wiring to work with, i'm replacing the radio with a kenwood. do you have schmatics for a 91 vette . I can't find a connector for the vette using a multimeter but having problems.
David Kelley: Sounds and looks like you got it together. I have 05 deville and just replaced the factory head unit with Double Dinn JVC. Replaced factory blown sub in rearbut base sounds nasty. Dont need anyone to hear my sounds but me, but I want it to sound very good. If I ran the speakers from the head unit and added a amp for my sub and 6*9 you think that would do it? To bad you not in TN
ray henry: that is a seville
Nole P.: Ilive far away,LOL! what program do you use,I have a 95 concours and would like install a whole new system,and would like to use an alternate power source for my head unit
evan valdez: Hey I have a 2000 seville would this work for my car !?
Hector's Tint Alarms & Audio / Video: This video is to bypass the bose amps, so you don't need any interfacing module's...
MrMayn505: I want to remove the factory amplifier on my 2005 cadillac deville do you know where it is located?
Analyzer52: I'm done going back and forth but you can bypass the amp and still have the chimes. They maybe annoying but necessary.
j8hnb: Hey this is John, I have a 2001 Cadillac Deville. I upgraded the sound system. My problem is I had to use the GMOS-06. When I start the car a loud sound comes out the speakers until I put on the radio face. When I turn off the car and take off the radio face it still makes a loud sound again. I dont have a clue on what to do?? Can you please help me?? Thank you so much!!
Rafael Garcia Jr.: Hey bro, i have a 99 chrysler concorde, which I have installed new speakers and new headunit, but it came stock with the infinity soundsystem, but I want to eliminate the stock amplifier, how much would that set me back just to eliminate it, nice job bro on what u do
Rafael Garcia Jr.: Do u think that after the bypass can i hook up an aftermarket 4 channel amp?
Claudio Heredia: i have a 2004 yukon where will i find my stock amp?
Thomas Drew: Do you have step by step vid for a 99 deville full install using factory radio
Alexander Dillon: I like the way you do things, everything looks real clean.
Rafael Garcia Jr.: Would u think that it would sound different when i bypass the amp, would it sound better or worse?
joe garay: Man how you gonna post some crap like this without showing how to take dash apart? Bs!
Thomas Drew: 1999 Cadillac Deville code named APPLE ipad mini (headunit) hifonics zxi 5.2c (front door) hifonics zxi 6.5 c (rear deck) with bracket Hifonics zxi80.4 (4 channel amp) Hifonics brz1700.1d (mono amp) Hifonics hifi12d4 (x4 subs) O guage knuconceptz amp kit Clarion eqs746 Line Out Converter I think it's PAC Blutooth dongle that has 3.5mm jack
Hector's Tint Alarms & Audio / Video: Yes sir you can.
Analyzer52: Without using the gmos do the factory door chimes work?
Analyzer52: There is no sound to be gained by leaving it out, you have already bypassed the amp to gain better sound. Nothing is added sound wise by disabling the door chimes.
Hector's Tint Alarms & Audio / Video: Then your good to go .
Andrew Burns: Very nice work. Now the pioneers lcd in dash(replace head unit)...dis you replaxe the apeakers afterwards as well? May I ask, what was the total cost including labor (ballpark)? Stinks your in AZ...im in MA
Javier Camacho: I like your style of doing work on cars man good job!
sweetdick willy: I got the same exact car and my kit isn't flush I bought the wiring harness from bestbuy and my tv is a double din and it will not sit flush do I have to trim something out?
tyma1026: I wish that I had seen your video a little sooner but I still got the job done anyway. I used the GMOS-06 to keep my chimes and install an aftermarket head unit. Just yesterday I decided to put in two four channel amps and to bypass the amp altogether. There is a Metra Kit that will do this so you don't have to splice into your factory wiring. The kit greatly reduced the time it took to do this install and was only 30$. .
Eze Ruiz: Whats the name of the software you use on the video thanks ???
Hector's Tint Alarms & Audio / Video: Thanks bro ! Comments like your's make the extra work for these videos , worth it ! GOD BLESS YOU!
Hector's Tint Alarms & Audio / Video: @Rafaelipod $150.00 for the bypass . Thanks bro.
ismaelramos6410: I was wondering where do you get your wiring diagrams
Hector's Tint Alarms & Audio / Video: Yes but remember the head unit has 4 channels, so the only speaker that will not work is the front center speaker and the rear subwoofer.
Taranjit: Hey John, I was just wondering if it is possible to use the bose amp, speakers, and head unit outside the car (i mean like at home). Actually I have all the stuff that I took out of a cadillac seville 1999. I tried to connect everything but the radio doesn't turn on. Will be really grateful if you could tell me if it is possible to use it outside the car. If yes, can you tell me the correct wiring connections. Also, if you could tell me which software do you use? Thanks!!
Rafael Garcia Jr.: With that price will i leave with my speakers working bro
Jay Skony: Great work
rami mcgee: 2004 Deville Speaker Wire Colors Org/Grn= RF Dr Ylw/Blk= LF Dr Tan/Wht=LR Dr Red/Pnk=RR Dr Drk Blu/Lt Blu=LF Dr Ppl/Brn/Gray=RF Twtr Ylw/Lt Blu=Cntr Ch Red/Blk=Factory Subwoofer Under the rear seat, Not the harness in the trunk!!!
Eg6914: What is that software called? I'm in the proses of doing the same thing and I'm stuck
Nole P.: Everything is helpful,,But in the 95 Cadillac Deville Concours ,but ho do you bypass the side connector on the head ,Remote receiver/ receiver box is in trunk i want to install and im gonna rewire everything but the head lights are wired into the radio or if you can direct me to a software i can use
tyma1026: I actually don't think I need the GMOS-06 at all unless I want to keep the chimes. Or unless you start having problems with the electrical gremlins that wreak havoc on these cars sometimes with the factory amp and stereo removed
Chad Thorne: awesome job man wish you lived in AZ :)
gno1972: Where are you from if Chicago ill come to you for my Cadillac double din
east10th: Where are you at I'm coming to you
morrisa183: You are a lying sack of crap bose is ten times better then pioneer i had my speakers switched to pioneer and it was worse so i had it put back to bose

AGO's Frank aka Martha Wright found
- pinstripeprincess Nov 11, 2008 08:01 PM
was strolling the new AGO (still very much under construction and unfortunately not all that exciting sans access to the secret rendezvous stairwell) and decided that this was an opportune moment to solo-dine as i hadn't done it in a while. it was quite fortunate because after i was seated i noticed a familiar name as chef de cuisine, martha wright.
before i divulge a few details about martha, i've got a few words to write about the space though i'll try not to get into how i feel about ghery's work. the cafe is on the concourse level but has access to the restaurant via a central staircase leading up and also a 2-storey opening. the use of only hard surfaces, i suspect, will lead to a lot of noise issues between the two dining areas and makes it a bit sterile. it seems that there is a second and potentially larger space on the other side of a major dividing wall which i assume will mostly be used for private functions. i did not get a look at this space but it is saved from any cafe noise. the long wall with the gift shop entrance is primed with a repetitive metal structure just begging for bottles and bottles of wine. but as the bar area near this display wasn't ready yet, it may be a while before it's filled. i am not a fan of the open space separated by low walls, it reminds me of dining at acqua and being in the middle of a mall.
onto the food. no wine list was provided and i was told by the host that the server would discuss the options with me. a pounding headache prevented me from imbibing so unfortunately i don't have much to report on that.
bread - didn't pay too much attention as it wasn't very special, but really liked the oyster shell full of flaky maldon salt as an additional topping along with room temp butter.
iles-de-la-madeleine scallops in shell with quebec foie gras - covered with a sabayon (at least that's how they described it though my understanding is that it is usually a dessert) and on top of finely diced shallots sunken to the bottom of the foie gras oil, the scallops were barely seared and were very tender and just a bit sweet. the richness of the creamy "sabayon" plus the unctuous seared foie was a bit overwhelming for the scallop and had to be eaten separately to fully appreciate their flavour. the foie was quite adequate for quebec origin and appeared as nicely seared cubes. no matter though, i cleaned up every bit of the remaining liquid and sauce with the variety of bread provided ($16, member pricing)
pickerel - perfection. the squash sauce pooled at the bottom of the plate was very tangy (server suggested wine, i think perhaps a touch of vinegar) and a bit sweet, so i wasn't sure that it would complement anything else in the dish. i was wrong, it was fantastic with the crispy skinned and perfectly cooked fish that flaked easily but was very moist and exuded freshness. i was a little confused as to why they would pan fry the side of romanesco (takes away from its aesthetics, which is the only thing going for it), but it certainly tastes much better this way than raw. the creamy sauteed leek was a great rich component to balance out the fish. ($23, member pricing)
quince tart with wildflower honey ice cream - was highly raved about by staff and didn't quite disappoint. did not like the very dense pastry crust for this take on tart tatin and the slathering of honey on the tart itself was initially welcomed but became cloyingly sweet. the quince was lovely and well caramelized but the wildflower honey ice cream stole the show. it was a bit light but really picked out some of the floral notes from the honey and had a nice smooth texture though was possibly a bit too airy. loved the honey comb bit tucked in underneath mostly for it's addition of texture. ($10, member pricing)
martha wright is on the ball and i'm glad she has resurfaced. it was no coincidence that my meal was seafood focused.
service seemed a bit nervous and while generally quite good at not letting water glasses empty nor taking too much time between courses, i was only asked how my dish was after i had dug into dessert and was halfway through. no questions during eating the app nor the main and if they were awful, that would have certainly been no fun for me. they appeared to be scanning the room constantly and so i'm confused as to how they missed this step.
i would undoubtedly go again though the member discount (10%) makes it within a more appropriate pricing range. if you want great fish, and i know a few of you out there are looking for it, the AGO might just be the new place to go.
re: TorontoJo
yup, starfish! sorry, i'm fighting a head cold and knew i'd forgotten something relevant!
some finer restaurants pointedly do not ask if "is everything ok?" they assume everything is more than ok and instruct their staff to scan the table, make eye contact with the diner which then allows the diner to tell them if everything is not "ok". every restaurant has a different way of managing quality control. trust me, if you had appeared unhappy or left any food on your place you would have been asked about it.
re: likescrab
i don't doubt what you're saying but i felt their lack of asking was more of an extension of the nervousness and hesitation i saw in the servers. if that is indeed the case, which i may have seen only once before, then i'd happily accept this as the norm if possible because it's significantly less intrusive and if i do have a problem at least i've had enough time to nibble.
no, the food isn't the initial draw but it could be if good enough and priced accordingly. otherwise it could easily fall within the realm of tourist trap. i personally appreciated what martha was putting out at stafish and would gladly return back, though perhaps less frequently if the menu doesn't change, and knew that some people had an interest in her whereabouts and her much hyped skills at the former resto.
i do love the flow of the interior layout, i felt that it directed you quite well naturally. i was just really looking forward to the staircases and the hockey rink shield but access wasn't allowed for either and those. i also think the centre column of space could have been more carte blanche for ghery but failed to leave a significant impact because of all the neutral tones. also, what's with those black trampoline looking seats? they look cheap and flimsy, like they're going to wear out quick! i hope they were temporary.
re: pinstripeprincess
Food's a tough assignment at museums.I'd like not to see the usual "upstairs-downstairs" formula with "haute and not" offerings a la ROM. I shot too much time Sunday yacking with the photo archive crew to find out what the Members' lounge will be doing--any clues?
re: Kagemusha
i agree, the actual physical perching of the resto over the cafe is rather presumptuous and it didn't look like there was all that much space dedicated to the cafe food section, which leads me to believe they may not have much of a selection. but i can't think of anything much better beyond bringing the fine dining section down a few notches into the realm of say local food bistro because sometimes i just want a sandwich i can grab and go with. though perhaps a decent solution might be a take-away/self-serve during the day and table service at night with tablecloths to kick it up a notch during the hours when people are likely less touristy. i just really hate the banishment to the lower levels.
anyhow... the paint fumes were exacerbating my headache so i ran away to have dinner after a half hour run through the new space. did peek into the new members lounge (very old school library type feel and full of my favourite wishbone chairs but also some hideously cheap leather ones) but didn't get a chance to talk to anyone besides at the restaurant due to pounding head.
Went the other day...
Food wise... For main I had the duck confit, which was pretty decent. For desert I had cookies, sadly they were disappointing, they didn't taste fresh and were served cold (out the oven warmth it what makes cookies for desert special in my mind)
Decor/service... It was a little chaotic, didn't look like they'd finished yet. Hard to get a feeling of restaurant when so much is still going on. It's simple and modern, at this point it's not mind blowing. The hostess was nice enough as was our waiter (even if he was noticeably nervous).
I'm going to wait a while to let the place get some rhythm before I return..
re: OnDaGo
Yarymowich is exec chef, Wright chef de cuisine.
Tried Frank on Saturday night. The food was overall good.
We had:
The stilllife something or other - basically an extremely small pear, half a small fig with blue cheese. It was delicious but quite small for the price of $14.
Roasted sunchoke soup - yummy.
Pickerel - Fish was delicious and perfectly cooked. I didn't understand the presentation as it came with almost raw chunks of cauliflower (I was expecting cauliflower puree or something). Cloudberry sauce didn't have much of a taste. But the fish was amazing.
Cod - Very good, fish also perfectly cooked.
Shared the frites, very yummy.
Overall I would recommend it, I think it will get better and better with time. Service was very good.
re: ddelicious
glad you enjoyed it, i have a lot of faith in the seafood dishes and may end up sticking to those any time i go. surprised about the raw cauliflower, mine were cooked at least to tender crisp though i do agree that chunks of cauliflower didn't quite match the fish texturally. did you get the leek pile? i'm going to assume not... it was a perfect and wonderful match with the fish for me because of it's creamy sweetness.
re: pinstripeprincess
there were some green oniony things at the bottom, maybe leeks but I wouldn't descibe them as creamy sweet. the fist was so perfectly cooked that it made up for anything else.
Over the AGO grand opening weekend an had brunch there. I had scones, scrambled eggs with truffle and mushrooms, ending with the upside down apple maple walnut cake. Understanding that they still in the trial stage, I miss Agora. Everything seemed more refined, from the space itself to the food. Scones tasted familiar like before, but it was dry at that seating. Truffle eggs had too much sauce. I prefer the scrambled eggs at Kultura with the truffle shavings on top. Simple and good. Cake had great presentation, but i rather they stick with the food like before. I miss the biscotti that comes with the cappuccino.
I hate to say, but I've been to Frank 2x and I still miss Agora. The hostess and wait staff were overall good. The food was more refined at Agora. The moules frites were delightful with plump mussels and clams. The sauce base itself was nothing worth for the fries nor bread to be dipped in. Pancakes were nice, but I think I saw them serving a bigger size the week before. The smoked trout didn't need to be cooked so much, maybe heated, otherwise, you can't tell it was smoke trout or salmon. I've been to the Milford bay fish farm before, I know how their products tastes like, I continue to buy them at selected grocery stores in the city, but Frank spoiled it. The chocolate pudding was delectable with the salted caramel and the ginger cookie stick. Cappuccino was fine, not sure if they use Illy anymore, but I miss the biscotti. First week it didn't come with anything, second week it came with a chocolate. Hoping the biscotti will make it on the plate soon. My friends had tea, honey was unavailable. Seems like they are booked up for the next little while, so make your reservations if you're planning to visit over the holidays!

It hasn't been a particularly good start for the Twins' 2009 season. After a largely quiet and disappointing offseason, the Twins began their final year at the Metrodome with a split home stand against the dismal Seattle Mariners, then hit the road for a thorough spanking administered by Central Division rival the Chicago White Sox. Meanwhile, although it's still early in the season, Minnesota's one "major" free agent acquisition, third baseman Joe Crede, has a batting average well below his weight. Things probably won't get much easier when defending American League champions the Tampa Bay Rays head to the Dome on Monday. Punching up the drama and, frankly, the jealousy factor for Twins fans is that former Minnesota hurler Matt Garza is scheduled to pitch during the three-game series. Fans will remember Garza as the former Twin who won MVP honors in last year's American League Championship Series after dominating the Boston Red Sox in two starts, and then found himself pitching in the World Series after being traded to Tampa before the 2008 season.

Example: John Doe elects dental and vision COBRA but declines medical during the 60 day window.
During Open Enrollment he requests to be to COBRA medical.
My gut is telling me "no" since the plans are independent of one another, and he declined COBRA for medical during his 60 day window.
Everything I have read, states that you have to provide OE the same open enrollment period rights but as per the example I gave, I believe only if they have a valid COBRA medical election, correct?
Please help - any guidance or clarification is welcome.

When It's About Money: Don't just save for your child's education
India Infoline News Service / 08:59, Sep 15, 2014
