We have four children at Westover spanning from elementary to high school and have been tremendously pleased during out 10 years there. We wouldn't have our children anywhere else! We love that they are in a highly academic environment where every subject is taught from a Christian worldview perspective. The curriculum in elementary school is way beyond what you will find in the local public schools and the classroom size is typically quite small at 12-14 students per class. Westover is well worth the investment!!
WCA offers a loving and caring atmosphere for learning. Teachers are positive and encouraging to students. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to volunteer. Students are taught academics but also life skills to encourage personal and spiritual growth. Wouldn't have my children anywhere else!
I have two children at WCA. I have only had good experiences in the four years they have been there. No school is perfect, but we chose this school because it has a smaller overall calmer learning environment. The faculty all have pleasant attitudes, a lot of mom's volunteer, and the students just seem less stressed and distracted. The school is in my opinion more orderly. I don't want my kids dealing with some of the unnecessary situations that are tolerated more and more in the public system. Like I said, I know this school isn't perfect but it has been a good experience for our family so far.
WCA is a very good christian school. I love to hear my little one singing christian songs in the back set of the car. I also like that it feels like we are all a big family. They teach the Beka program which is a lot more advance than public schools. I would recommend this school highly!!!
Great school! Caring teachers. What we like the best is that the bible is taught in class. We also appreciate the typical 'high school feel' without the typical high school behavioral problems. The children all seem to be well mannered and thoughtful. The dress code is conservative, but still allows for individuality. No uniforms. Our oldest daughter began Westover in K-3. She was reading and writing in K-4. That impressed us. We were even more impressed when she learned to write in cursive in K-5 and could read from level 2 and 3 readers at home. She learns a new bible verse every week and is learning how to apply them to her own life. Christian education is so important and Westover does a great job.

At about 5:30 a.m. Monday, Nov. 17, a tornado touched down in Greensboro. The system caused temporary power outages, particularly in the Sycamore Community, due to fallen trees on power lines, according to a Gadsden County Sheriff's Office press release issued Monday evening. Talquin Electric was working to restore power as outages were still reported in that area.

Shoes at the Emmy Awards: Jessica Pare in Oscar de la Renta
Mad Men star Jessica Pare went for head-to-toe Oscar de la Renta at the 2013 Emmy Awards last night, rocking a rise-and-fall dress in bold aqua blue with a cut that showed off her satin sandals, which were by the same label, to full effect.
Unfortunately for Jessica, neither her dress nor her show attracted much in the way of praise, as the TV drama lost in every category it was nominated in,
losing out to the likes of Breaking Bad and Veep. Have we finally had our fill of 1960s machismo? And about that dress...
The strapless, seafoam ballgown was just a little too much for many commentators, who in some cases even saying that the frock 'fell flat', while it was widely reported as being 'a miss'. I have to agree that there is something ungainly and even a little bridesmaidy about this gown, with its gathered fabric and 'interesting' cut - even if I do love the shoes that Jessica is wearing underneath - and the fact that we can see them!
The sandals are perfect for red carpet wear, combining a thick ankle strap made from satin and minimal twin straps at the front. If only she's picked out something more inspiring to team them with...

April 28, 2011
Severe storms slammed Central Virginia on Tuesday and Wednesday night, putting many areas under Tornado Watches and Warnings. With the potential for dangerous weather in the air, members of the Charlottesville Fire Department say it is important to know how to stay safe.
"Particularly this time of the year because there is the potential to have a storm that is very destructive," explained Charlottesville Fire Chief Britt Grimm, who suggests storm-conscious home owners purchase a weather radio.
The CFD urges people to listen to warnings. In the event of a severe storm, officials say should head to the lowest level of your home. The safest part of your house will have the strongest walls around you, such as a basement. Grimm also recommends using a mattress or pillows to block flying debris.
If you do not have a basement, take shelter in an interior room, such as a closet or bathroom, and shut the door. Grimm says it is important to avoid windows.
"You have to assume that glass is going to break," he said.
The common myth of opening doors and windows to elevate pressure in the home is not true. Another false myth is to head to one specific corner of the home.
"Don't specifically head to the southwest corner," said Grimm. "You're looking for the strongest, safest and most solid place in the structure."
Ultimately, the best way to stay prepared is to have a plan in place before the storm hits.

This strip came out of doing a self-defence course with an Aikido instructor. I found the course really useful, but one of the thing that bothers me about this and other martial arts is that you can't just do it in your track-suit. Once you get serious, you have to wear a daft-looking outfit that you will never be wearing outside should you need to use the skills you learned…

If you watched Bush's speech tonight, you may be interested in this analysis from the Washington Post. As I have been so frequently of late, I'm simply stunned to see that our Dear Leader didn't exactly stick to the facts in his "I'm pretending this isn't more of the same 'stay-the-course' bullshit that I've been spewing for the past four years" spiel.
And in case you're still in doubt that Gen. Petraeus would choose to tell W just what he wants to hear (Monday night's exclusive interview on Faux News should have been a big clue), Centcom Commander Adm. William Fallon called Petraeus an "ass-kissing little chickenshit" — to his face — for sucking up to superiors.
Ah well, at least Bush says he'll bring home some of the troops. Just in time to take the pressure off of Congressional Republicans struggling for re-election. He's still determined to hand off the mess he created to the next occupant of the Oval Office.

Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind Movie Review
Sam Rockwell (best known for show-stealing turns in Charlie's Angels and Galaxy Quest) makes for an engaging and wildly funny doppelganger for Barris, owning the character so completely it's hard to tell where the source material ends and Rockwell's interpretation picks up. With Barris appearing in almost every scene, the film takes us down his road from TV-producer wannabe to master of the 1970s game show. Oh, and not to mention, a stint as a freelance assassin for the CIA.
You read that right. The way the movie tells it, a broke Barris was approached by a secret agent (Clooney) before he made it in Hollywood. He bumped off a few Latin American thugs for spending money, but continued the work even after he'd hit it big with The Dating Game, just for the rush. Hell, Barris even had the perfect cover by serving as a chaperone on some of the winners' dates in, oh, Helsinki... or Berlin.
We also see snippets of Barris's personal life, drawn from the more vulgar commentary in his book. Largely this consists of Barris's womanizing (shades of Auto Focus). When he isn't with long-term girlfriend Penny (Drew Barrymore in a disposable performance), he's shagging ABC staffers and even fellow spy operative Patricia (Julia Roberts, chewing the scenery).
It's a fun ride that sustains itself despite a rather thin premise, but unfortunately Clooney-as-director could use some reining in. Favoring first-year film school tricks like shooting in dark shadows, using oddball angles, bleaching the film of color, and careless editing, the movie comes off as more of a goofy home video project Clooney made in his spare time than a serious film.
That's not to say Clooney's little experiment isn't fun. It is, at least for its first hour or so, until Barris is reduced to a garden-variety, gibbering paranoiac. Using the oldest crutch in the screenwriting handbook, the man eventually sequesters himself in a dingy hotel room, which soon becomes cluttered with crap while Barris just stands there, staring at the TV, naked and unshaven. Why is it that all movie lunatics check into hotels and refuse to leave them? At this point, Manhattan must be out of rooms.
Frankly we've come to expect far better from screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation), and I have to say I'm stunned that he decided to take Barris's farfetched memoirs and play them straight, without irony. After all, which sounds like a better movie? Is it A) Game show producer lives secret life as assassin or B) Aging game show producer, disappointed that he hasn't had a hit show in decades, tries to reinvent himself as an erstwhile killer and faces off with those who don't believe him... and those who do. Get me rewrite!
Clooney offers a commentary track on the DVD along with his cinematographer, and various behind the scenes features, deleted scenes, screen tests, and movie-fied Gong Show outtakes round out the disc. A documentary (more grounded than Confessions) about the real Chuck Barris is also worth a look for those interested in the kooky man.
I confess: I like ketchup.

Barnett National Bank
112 West Adams Street
Date: 1926
Architects: Mowbray & Uffinger-New York
Builder: James Stewart Company-New York
Barnett National Bank's growth followed Jacksonville's skyline. It was founded in 1877 by William B. Barnett and his son Bion, as the Barnett Bank, with $40,000 in working capital. Within four years, it became the largest bank in Florida. Its name was changed in 1888 to National Bank of Jacksonville and in 1908 to Barnett National Bank. The bank grew steadily over its first fifty years, necessitating the construction of this $1,500,000 banking and office center in 1926, which remained the tallest building in Jacksonville until the Prudential Building was constructed in 1954. Mowbray & Uffinger, nationally known bank architects from New York, designed it; and the contractor was the James Stewart Co., which constructed Madison Square Garden in New York and the Mitsui Bank in Tokyo, then the largest bank building in the world. The Barnett National Bank Building is handsomely proportioned and reflects the eclectic influences of commercial architectural styles of the 1920's. A two-story arcade faced with limestone makes up the street-level facade, and the building is topped with double-arched windows and a parapet with obelisks. A series of lion heads between the third and fourth stories are among the other interesting details.

Atlantic Beach
- b
- Bigbird130 Jun 4, 2008 11:24 AM
Going there in October-Any recomendations?
Do a search for Atlantic Beach, Beaufort and Morehead City and you'll find lots of recs. In Beaufort, Aqua is an excellent small plates style place. Two unique places that serve smrimpburgers, a local specialty, are El's Drive-In in Morehead City and Big Oak Drive-In in Salter Path.
Great chef's at Amos Mosquito's and Crab's Claw. Amos is upscale casual, fresh, seasonal fare with cool, sometimes ethnic touches: crab cakes w/ chipotle aioli, lobster smashed potatoes, "scalloped scallops," surf and turf with "homemade Worcestershire". Crab's Claw, http://www.crabsclaw.com/, more casual, steamer pots, ribs but also nice pastas is even more casual, but a bit more. Have known Frank and Clara's in Pine Knoll Shores, a bit down the beach from AB to be solid old-school steaks and seafood, angles on horseback (with oysters) and such, but haven't been for a few years.
I second the recommendations for El's and the Big Oak, although I'm personally not a fan of shrimpburgers. Tried them once to see what people were talking about and didn't see any reason to try them again. Instead, I recommend the barbecue sandwich at the Big Oak and the cheeseburgers at El's. Big Oak's barbecue is particularly good; I don't know if they make it themselves or if they have a supplier, but I prefer it to the products of some of the famous eastern NC barbecue establishments.
Getting away from the drive-ins, I recommend Beaufort Grocery, Front Street Grill at Stillwater, and Blue Moon Bistro, all of which are in Beaufort. I've had consistently great experiences at all three restaurants. Visited Aqua once and didn't have a particularly good meal. Although I've been to the bar at Amos Mosquito's many times and will go there again, in my one experience eating there, I found the food to be average-- about what you would expect to find in a chain restaurant like Chili's.
Ugh! Terrible edit on my recs. Sorry. Great "chefs" at Amos Mosquito's and Crab's Claw, both of which are in Atlantic Beach. The feel is a little more upscale at Amos, but both places welcome shorts and flip flops despite fairly impressive menus. Have had great meals both places, especially the ribs at Crab's Claw and the crab cakes at Amos. Never had a bad meal at Frank and Clara's when I was going.
Watermark has charcoal grilled steaks that are some of the best you'll eat anywhere. Their seafood isn't too bad either. We eat there at least once, sometimes moreso, when we're there.
Front Street Grille at Stillwater in Beaufort is also very good.
El's for shrimpburgers, but if you're around Emerald Isle and they're open, go to Big Oak. Big Oak has good eastern NC bbq as well.
The Island Grill in Atlantic Beach is very good. On Monday and Tuesday nights they have a 2 entrees for the price of 1 entree special.
re: Bill116
2nd on the NY Deli - was quite surprised by the quality, taste and value of the reuben lunch combo!
re: bob192
3rd the New York Deli as well. It's always been one of my favorite sandwich shops / delis in NC. We were just there for the Big Rock with the kids and ate at Amos. We'd been before and I left with same impression this time as before. It's not bad but not really very creative and is a bit overpriced for the food and decor but for a non-chain family spot that trys and entertains the kids plus giving the adults decent food it is not bad. Actually had to park on the side of the road as parking lot was full so I guess they are doing something right (or passable at least). We also went to Roma's, the pizza spot next to the Beach Tavern. Again, it got the job done but not really very good pizza. I'd recommend going to BT instead. Also ate at Molly's Oceanside Bar and Grill at the Sheraton. Service was slow and crazy but beer was cold and burger was eatable. Not bad if you're stumbling off the beach in a bathingsuit and want a quick bite. If I were looking for a view with better food, I'd probably check out the Crab's Claw on the strip formerly known as the circle in AB proper. We have been there in awhile but it's usually pretty fare. For better or worse, I generally go in with lower expectations when dining at any of the spots on the island. If I'm looking for good basic family home cooked food (including good seafood) I'll hit Mrs. Willis' in Morehead City. If we're looking for upscale gourmet stuff, then we generally head for Beaufort or the Windansea on the Morehead waterfront.

We hope Yolanda Hadid has been practicing her table-throwing and insult-hurling... because the Dutch model has officially been cast on The Real Housewives of New Jersey!
The fourth wife of music executive David Foster, Hadid takes over for Camille Grammar, who was forced off the show last month. She has already started shooting season three and has known co-star Lisa Vanderpump for years.
"Yolanda is going to make an excellent addition to the cast and she can definitely hold her ground if the claws come out; she is no shrinking violet," a Real Housewives insider tells Radar Online.
Bravo has not yet announced a premiere date for season three, but insiders claim Taylor Armstrong and Kim Richards will both be phased out as filming goes on, with the former only receiving air time because she has a drinking problem.

Umm...your first sentence says in BOLD that Yolanda is join the cast of New Jersey. Just to be clear, she is actually joing the cast of Bev Hills.
Wow! I cannot believe that the wife of the most famous composer in America would be part of such a trashy show. I do not watch this garbage but while searching for decent programming I stay on for a few minutes and all of these housewives shows are an abomination. Women who have cat fights, swear, bitching about everything. Absolutely no class, uncouth. It just shows that money does not buy class!! He is Canadian Hey.... she should be busy with good works she certainly does not need to work! He is very rich. MB

HoopsHype Brandon Bass rumors
"You know what I realized? A great coach anywhere is a great coach everywhere," Bass said. "That's on all levels of basketball. If you're great, you're great. I just think you have to have humility, like he always preaches. When you go to different levels, you adjust and you act like a sponge. You absorb different things, and the quicker the better. It's early, but I love what I see. And I think the rest of the league is seeing it, and they appreciate what coach is doing here. For sure, I would say he's easy to play for. But he definitely demands your best every day. That's a guy you want to play for." Boston Herald
Luckily for Stevens, he's a better coach than shooter and his players continue to rave about what he's done in getting Boston on track after an 0-4 start. Riding a four-game winning streak now to get back to .500, his charges shoveled much of the credit to him for giving the team a fighting chance in every game this season. "There's something special about that guy [Brad Stevens], man," marveled Brandon Bass. "He's a rookie coach, but he's very knowledgeable and he's picking up things pretty fast." ESPN.com
Bass is allowing a minuscule 0.528 points per play (28 points on 53 possessions), according to individual defensive data logged by Synergy Sports. Consider this: Of players with more than 40 possessions defended entering Thursday's action, Bass ranked first in the NBA at that mark (out of 120 qualifiers). What's more, opponents are scoring on a mere 22.6 percent of total possessions again him, the best mark in the league by nearly 3 percent. For comparison's sake, it's worth noting how Bradley was among the NBA leaders last season, allowing 0.697 points per possession and with opponents scoring just 31.8 percent of the time against him during the 2012-13 campaign. Bass' initial numbers will undoubtedly rise, but it's an encouraging early-season glimpse. ESPN.com
What's more encouraging is the team's defensive performance when Bass is on the floor. The Celtics own a defensive rating of 95 points per 100 possessions with Bass on the court. That's 4.1 points less than the team's season average, and that number skyrockets to 106.3 when Bass is on the bench. Bass hasn't been perfect, but when you consider some of the frontcourt talent that Boston has encountered early in the year, and the fact that he has often shared the floor with rookie centers in Vitor Faverani and Kelly Olynyk, it only makes what he's doing all the more impressive. Maybe even surprising. Well, to everyone but Bradley. "I could sense it the first day of training camp," said Bradley. "He was a [returning veteran], but not only that, he wanted to be the leader, more than anything." ESPN.com
Stevens said Avery Bradley, Jeff Green, Gerald Wallace, Brandon Bass and Vitor Faverani will start tonight against the Toronto Raptors as the Brazilian will start his first NBA game. Stevens said with his international experience, work ethic and performance in the preseason, Faverani, 25, deserves his opportunity. Boston Globe
Brandon Bass is learning how to swim at the Boys & Girls Club of Boston. Bass, who grew up in Baton Rouge, did not learn how to swim as a child. Neither did anyone else in his family. Now Bass is learning so he can feel safe with his son, Brandon Jr., who loves to swim. In 2009, Bass bought a vacation home on a lake that has a pool. Bass is taking lessons with 10 kids and helping promote a swimming program for inner-city youth. That is where this amazing photograph came from. The Big Lead
Kevin Garnett: "I think Boston's going to be fine. That team has always been proven, they always succeed, always push the envelope when it comes to winning, and they have good pieces up there -- Jeff Green, Rajon (Rondo), Brandon Bass, guys up there that's really hard-working guys, that will come in and compete every night, are going to put forth a valid effort. So they're not going to be shabby, not at all." Booth Newspapers
All that said, Bass might be one of the odd men out. He's under contract to make about $6.5 million next season and $6.9 million the season after. With the Celtics pinching pennies this offseason, Bass easily could be a salary cap casualty, though it likely would require that the Celtics find a trading partner willing to accept his deal. Which likely won't be an easy proposition for the Celtics. Knowing all these truths doesn't seem to have Bass worried — at least not outwardly. He said he doesn't sit and think about what moves the Celtics should make, either. "I got kids, man," he said. "If I had to think about that . . . Man, they don't pay me enough to do all that. I just gotta play basketball. "If I got a raise, I'll start thinking about who we should bring in. I'll start thinking like Kobe Bryant and all these guys, that 'The GM needs to talk to me first.' Boston Globe
The Celtics' future is uncertain, and so the same is true for Bass. He could be gone in the weeks or months ahead, if only because he is simply too expensive to keep. But, for now, Bass likes to say that he doesn't concern himself with that which he cannot control. His relaxed Southern mien belies any unease. As he said, he can only be the best Brandon Bass that he can be, wherever that may be, Boston or destinations unknown. Boston Globe
Alagappan likes to open with a parable about medicine, noting that almost two thousand years ago the Roman physician Galen theorized that all illnesses could be classified under one of four bodily fluids. As science evolved, doctors grew to understand that diseases and their cures were much more complex. And so it is now with basketball, Alagappan says, arguing that the oversimplified constructs of point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center should be replaced by a more sophisticated list of positions as varied as "low-usage ball-handlers," like Trevor Ariza and Courtney Lee, to "mid-range big men" like Brandon Bass and Glenn Davis. San Jose Mercury-News
Williams-Webb's client list includes the N.B.A. players Rudy Gay and Brandon Bass and the N.F.L. player Donte Whitner and the former player James Hardy. She spends her days shopping, meeting with designers and hunting for extra-long pants and size 14 shoes. It is all a long way from her years working in retail in Midtown Manhattan. New York Times
Steve Luhm: Doc Rivers told Brandon Bass to replace 36-year-old Garnett at the start of overtime. Garnett wouldn't let him. Twitter @sluhm
A. Sherrod Blakely: #Celticstalk: #Celtics not all that interested in trading 2 players (Green, Bass) for one (Josh Smith). Not enough bodies as it is now. Twitter @SherrodbCSN
I've heard for a few weeks now that Boston is salivating over Atlanta forward Josh Smith and would be receptive to unloading Brandon Bass and Jeff Green to obtain him. It's no secret Brooklyn wouldn't mind Smith, either. The Nets, some league officials insist, apparently are offering forward Kris Humphries and swingman MarShon Brooks. Racine Journal-Times
There's a rising expectation among some of Ainge's peers that Boston will instead try to move out at least one member of the Brandon Bass/Jason Terry/Courtney Lee trio before the deadline to make getting under the luxury-tax threshold his February focus. ESPN.com
The Celtic chips most teams are talking about are guards Courtney Lee ($5 million), forward Jeff Green ($8.35 million) and forward Brandon Bass ($6 million). None of them are overly impressive in a trade on their own; however, any combination of them could get a salary high enough for a more significant deal. The problem is the reason the Celtics want to move them is they have been underwhelming this season and that's really driven down their trade value. HoopsWorld
Bass suffered a bruised right knee during the first half and did not return. His injury isn't believed to be serious, and he is expected to play Saturday against the New York Knicks. He sat out more than two weeks (and six total games) last February while battling right knee inflammation. "Knee again," Rivers said after the game. "I don't know if it's bad, but we just didn't take any chances." Pierce twisted his left ankle after landing awkwardly on Gerald Wallace's foot after a made 3-pointer midway through the second quarter. He went to the locker room to get retaped and returned for the second half. "Paul tweaked his ankle, or he thought we were going to practice (on Friday)," Rivers said jokingly. "It's one of the two. I'm not sure yet. We'll find out. I think he tweaked his ankle, but I am suspicious." ESPN.com
"This year I just want to be a better rebounder, that's all," said Bass, who averaged a career-high 6.2 boards in 59 games last season. "And as far as everything else that I worked on this summer, it's only going to get shown when I get more opportunities. We've got a lot of good players here so all the things I worked on will only show with more opportunities." Boston Globe
"I want to [take opponents in the post] but Doc would rather me just pick-and-pop but I want to," Bass said. "That's part of my game that I've always been good at over the years. But I think Doc just wants me to be a pick-and-pop because we already have the guys who do enough isos here, so I guess he don't want me to be the third or the fourth guy to have the offense stagnant."

at the moment my workout routine consists of a 4 day cycle of
*chest and shoulders
*Arms and back
*abs and cardio
and then i repeat the same cycle straight after. the reason behind it is that i want to try and work each muscle group twice a week/ 8 days. i would put a day between the two main workouts but my arms usually take an extra day to recover. for a period of time i did try working arms with chest but found that after a good chest workout i couldn't put the same energy into my arm workout, hence why i prefer to work them separately the day after. the only worry i have is that i'm over training? and what damages would training arms a day after chest cause? any feedback would be much appreciated. thanks

Farwell Questionable For SundayPosted by on September 18, 2009 – 4:16 pm
The Vikings released their final injury report of the week on Friday afternoon, with no real surprises. LB and special teams ace Heath Farwell (hamstring) was limited all week and is listed as questionable.
The only change is that after being limited on both Wednesday and Thursday, G Anthony Herrera (back) was a full participant today. TE Jim Kleinsasser (hand) was also a full participant and is listed as probable along with Herrera.
Erin Henderson (calf) did not practice this week and is listed as out.

In the magazine this week, Adam Platt prefers the tapas in the caf part of La Fonda del Sol to the more traditional, predictable dining room, where many of the dishes are standard expense-account favorites. If you, too, have developed a hankering for bnh m, Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld sacrificed their dietary health to find ten of the citys best examples of the sandwich. Rob and Robin also introduce us to three new restaurants this week: the Roman-inspired trattoria, Emporio; Bodhi Tree, an East Village Thai venture from the duo who own EM Thai in Carroll Gardens and Rice Thai Kitchen in Park Slope; and a bar-oriented menu at Nios in midtown. Those observing Passover this week can try Joe Dobiass recipe for matzo brei on their seder table. Finally, if warm weather draws you downtown, get supplies and sustenance at Smile. The Robs call it a serenely elegant place to get a caffeine fix.

The hottest news in town is not that AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation put two amplifiers in a single chassis, but for the first time you can go all the way from 0.8 to 18 GHz with the reliability of solid-state.
AR's Dual Band Amplifiers can be used for multiple applications because they are linear and extremely load tolerant. With AR's Dual Band Amplifiers, you have freedom like never before. You pick the power from 5 to 80 W. You pick the bandwidth from 0.8 to 8.0 GHz, 0.8 to 10.6 GHz or 0.8 to 18 GHz. AR puts it together for you in one package that costs less, weighs less, and takes less space than two separate amplifiers.
If you want to upgrade later, no problem. AR makes its Dual Band Amplifiers with built-in flexibility for increased power levels because your needs are constantly changing.

While the cups look small, they overflow them with gelato. I got the large the first time and didn't even finish half! Now I usually get the small with 2 flavors and it's more than enough; plus you save some money!
The fruit gelato is incredible! I got peach and raspberry, but was really blown away by the peach flavor. DANG SON. They had a tiramisu flavor that was basically gone when I got there, so I imagine that's probably REALLY good too!
Thisis my kids and I favorite place in downtown to get a gelato. The price is pricey but what a treat! There are different flavors of gelatos which sometimes gets changed around each month. I like how I am able to sample a flavor before deciding what I want to eat. The staff are friendly, helpful and always have a...
Gelato, Pastries and Cookies were great! Coffees were good and the outside sitting was urban style...Knoxville is coming to its own....recommend.!
Coolato is always a great dessert choice. We've been going every month or so since they opened. I love that they cycle their gelato and sorbetto selections so often - there's always something new to try. The staff is always nice, the building is always clean, and we love their back porch. The Azteca is my absolute favorite flavor! If...
Stopped in for the lunch special which was just the right amount of food. Roast beef Panini and side salad and fruit were delicious. The lunch meal also came with a sliver of gelato cake. I was slightly irritated that they brought me the wrong flavor as I do not like chocolate. It was gladly replaced, but when I asked...
My favorite gelato ... Reminds me of Europe. Too small, too busy, and just great! It always leaves me wanting more...especially on a hot day, but fortunately for me, they also make gelato cakes that you can take home! I would come here year round if I lived here year round.
You can ask for a taste before you decide. I had mango and pineapple sorbet. It was yummy. There a chairs and tables outside and inside. The gelato also looked really good. Definitely need to come back and try more.
Try this place for not only the Gelato, but the other food items. I've eaten here numerous times and have always had a pleasant experience. Their soups are probably the best I have ever had. Their sandwiches and salads are excellent too. Even their Gelato cake! There is nothing bad to say about this place. If you are in town,...
Go! And then go again and again! Food is great and the gelato is the best on the planet! Cake batter is my personal favorite!

MIAMI (AP) - A home surveillance video shows a South Florida man accused of killing his wife and then posting a bloody picture of her body on Facebook walk away from a confrontation and then return a few moments later to fire a gun.
The weapon can't be seen in the video released Tuesday by the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office to The Miami Herald (http://goo.gl/hThSbq). But the camera did pick up the swirl of gunpowder in the air from when authorities say 31-year-old Derek Medina fatally shot 26-year-old Jennifer Alfonso at their South Miami last month.
Medina is charged with second-degree murder, but prosecutors will likely seek a first-degree murder indictment in the coming weeks.
Medina has claimed that his wife was the aggressor in the confrontation and that he was acting in self-defense.

Making Your Drug or Hospital a Household Name
Marketing guru, Seth Godin, recently wrote a post titled, "On Becoming a Household Name." He comments on the amount of advertising out there that doesn't even offer basic features and benefits, but rather just puts the brand name out there. He says "it's completely irrational" but brand recognition alone works wonders. He writes:
Being a familiar name takes you miles closer to closing a sale. People like to buy from companies they've heard of.
"Awareness" has long been recognized as the first step in a long prodding sales cycle. What Seth doesn't write, but I strongly believe is that while advertising without benefits to me is irrational, it works over time because it builds trust.
Awareness helps to build trust, and trust is the single most important attribute related to sales success.
Now there are many different ways to increase trust, but familiarity is a basic one. Someone approaches you the first time you won't trust them (kids, don't talk to strangers!); if you see them around the neighborhood all the time you're more likely to trust them. If you drive by a company down the street repeatedly for ten years, it's likely you can trust that they'll still be there next year. If you see a company's ad on TV over and over again, at least you can trust they are big enough to afford TV ads!
So what does this mean for healthcare marketers? Consider these scenarios:
- You take your 12-year old daughter to the doctor to talk about getting an HPV vaccine; would you ask about the vaccine you never heard of, or the one you know because you are one of 100,000 fans on their Facebook page?
- You are pregnant and there are three hospitals within a short drive away; would you choose one you have little familiarity with, or the one whose tweets you've been following have addressed prenatal care, new parent workshops, and baby name contests?
Seth's simple statement has big implications for the use of social media for healthcare marketers. Awareness is the first step to building trust and brings "you miles closer to closing a sale."
Research clearly shows that healthcare consumerism is a reality. Physicians' choice of medications can be influenced by the patients' brand request. Women choose which hospital to deliver their babies in. Many choose where to go for their orthopedic surgery, colonoscopy, and cancer therapy.
Is your brand a household name?

Would You Still Goto A Restaurant If The Owner/Chef Was A JERK?
so, there is this restaurant in my snall town that is very good and locals along with weekend NYers love it.
BUT the owner/chef is a jack-ass! i see him almost everyday at the market i work at buying his newspaper. he always just throws his dollar bill on the counter and looks pissed off at the world. i have tried to say HI and make small talk but he wants nothing to do with it and is just plain rude.
other people have said the same thing and i keep saying " i am never going back to so & so..." ( but i do...)
what do you think? we are the locals who keep his restaurant alive while the NYers arent here. shouldnt he give a crap?
No. Once I started getting the inside scoop regarding what happens at the restaurant where my SO works, and I won't go there anymore. I don't want to give any money to people like that.
Yes. When you eat there, just throw your payment on the table and refuse to talk to him.
Seriously, is he sincere about his work and does he do it with dedication? Some small owners excel in their work but suck at dealing with the public. If so, I would overlook his personality; however you might find ways to remind him that he needs his local customers. But if he mistreats him employees that's a different story; I hate giving my money to people who do that.
Depends on the jerk.
There's a place in DC where the Chowhounds rave about the food, but the lead chef is something of a perfectionist. No substitutions, no condiments on the tables because the food is seasoned the way SHE wants it to be and too bad if you don't like it, etc. Some folks are willing to put up with it, but I'd be inclined to avoid the place.
re: monkeyrotica
I was going to leave a similar post about the same place in DC. My wife and I do choose to visit somewhat regularly because we love the food and the place itself. Chef has a certain rep, and so far, for us, it's been great. If you have an issue with something that comes out of the kitchen, tho', beware -- and I do think that that's a fair thing to consider re choosing to patronize the place.
For what you described above, I'd still go to his restaurant. I dealt w/a jackass who was flat out rude to customers....when he aimed it at me, I gave him a piece of my mind and would never go back.
It would depend on the situation – and to be honest, on how amazing the restaurant was. If the restaurant was otherworldly and I didn't have to deal w/ him at the restaurant, I would probably still go. But a night out is such a subjective experience, if I had a bad feeling about the place, I'd be unlikely to want to spend my money there.
We do cut neighborhood restaurants more slack than we would other places – a bad meal or subpar service can be outweighed by the convenience and our desire to support local businesses. We have never encountered outright rudeness, though.
I should note that your description does not, however, in my mind, necessarily mean the chef is a jerk. My husband is a sweetheart but 1) generally reserved with people he doesn't know and 2) a scientist, with all the attendant distractedness that can come from mulling over this and that. I have been working to try to make him more comfortable with small talk with people behind counters, because I can tell he sometimes comes off as brusque or unfriendly when that is not his intention. So I would probably be inclined to cut your chef some slack under the assumption that he might be the same. (Not to say that you should, but you asked what we would do.)
Service with a smile is all I ask, so if the wait staff can offder a grin, the owner doesn't have to..good food is hard to give up :)
Actually, there's a chef that frequently chats on egullet and Chowhound and is a complete and utter jerk, and I refuse to go to his restaurant. I've heard wonderful things about the food (not the service), but there's so many more wonderful restaurants where I don't have to deal with that crap! Your situation doesn't really come across as that severe though, but I could be reading it wrong.
Your problem is that he is a jerk OUTSIDE the restaurant? He is a jerk at the shop you work at? So what? A lot of people are jerks outside of the work place. As long as they perform the task I am paying them for in a professional and competuent manner, what do I care if they are snappy when they buy their paper/cofffee/gum etc.
re: chow_gal
Because jerks make the world a sadder place to live in.
Food should reflect the chef's personality, and if you don't like the personality you might not like the food. I'm in no hurry to go to Gary Danko because of things he's quoted as saying. He just seems like a pompous ass and I don't want to eat a pompous ass's food. For just one example, I remember an article in the SF Chronicle where successful chefs were telling embarrassing stories of kitchen mishaps. Instead of playing along, Danko said he's never made a serious or embarrassing error and instead told the story of something a colleague had done. I mean come on! There are too many other places to eat that I don't need to go to a place with no humility.
To the OP: Then why do you return? Is he not rude enough to you as he is toward other former patrons, or do you have a higher tolerance level?
We have soup and sushi nazis. I guess we can also have chef/owner nazis. For me, I think it's a bit more difficult to accept the latter case because the good food isn't necessarily enhanced by his notoriety. Somehow, it diminishes the quality of the entire restaurant.
The OP never said that the guy is rude in his restaurant. If he doesn't bother you while you're enjoying the hospitality of the house, why, out of sight, out of mind. If he's rude in his restaurant, then the expected hospitality is lost and why go back. Or order take out.
Think of all the entertainers and sports figures who are jerks, but we still buy their cd's, cheer their teams, go to their movies and concerts.
There are degrees of jerkiness. I once applied for a host's job at a restaurant run by a guy I know, and he frankly told me not to do it because he's a complete butthole to his employees, and he didn't want to lose me as a friend - even though we've never been really close.
I would generally not want to patronize a place run by someone who let his attitude show in public. I have avoided restaurants whose atmosphere was tense and unfriendly, and I avoid on principle any place whose management dictates what you will eat, how you will eat it, and what if any seasonings will be allowed. If it's my money, you gotta play my tune, period. To reiterate a favorite theme I've uttered before: the customer may not always be right, but he's ALWAYS the customer.
re: Will Owen
Unless he gets the host's job!
I remember a similar experience. A friend loved this particular cafe in Montreal and whiled away many an evening studying, spending a student amount of money and feeling very cosy and comfortable there. I joined her a few times and felt the vibe.
In the meantime the cafe I worked at had a man who made and delivered our soup every day - boy was he grumpy and rude, and I didn't much like the soup either (it was homemade and vegetarian though).
I was so surprised to realize one day that the owner of the cosy cafe and the soup guy were one and the same!
The moral for me was that it's all about context, and not everyone is a morning person (I certainly am not). I was willing to cut the guy some slack.
But I can also see where what you describe would totally piss me off - I had a customer who was totally rude at a bar I worked at, and I never understood why he would do that to potential clients of his vet practice across the street. And I never took my cat to him.
I think that if you're going to stop going to someone's restaurant because he's a jerk, you might want to tell him next time you go to the restaurant (of course, that would be your last visit). I always think a boycott is more effective when the target knows he's being boycotted.
When I used to work in the Wall Street area of NYC, there was an Italian lunch place that was very popular, near Goldman Sachs. Decent food. But the guy (owner, I think) was horrible. I could (and did) live with him being rude to me. I could roll my eyes and get over it. But one day I saw him dress down the poor fellow who was serving me. He was so abusive that I couldn't help but yell back at him. I told him you can't treat people like that and I wasn't coming back and I was going to tell all my colleagues not to come back. I just hope I didn't get the server into trouble.
The point is, you just have to decide how much rudeness you can take. It's hard when sources of good food are scarce. Luckily, I didn't have that problem.
It's also worth trying to elicit a smile or some conversation out of a sourpuss. I usually find that I can break the ice with a joke or a question or a compliment.
I do not see the level of rudeness in the OP that would stop me from going to a resto. He may be deep in thought, an introvert, or just is not a people-person.
If the chef is a jerk or rude at the resto that's a different story. I eould never subject myself and my company to a less than relaxing, enjoyable meal knowing the chef may disrupt. If the chef has an issue w any emploee, take it our of earshot of the customers. Not my issue and I have no interest in the resto employee relationship.
Although I like the chef wondering the dining room to say hello, if he is not comfortable in this role I would rather him stay in the kitchen and oversee the cooking. I am there for the food, not to make a new friend.
There is a fairly popular and well-known Mexican restaurant where the chef/owner and his family take all the tips from his (mostly illegal) staff. For the reason alone, I will never step foot in that place again, no matter how good the margherita.
No way - food needs o be prepared by kind people in a loving environment free from negativity!
It just sounds like he's not much of a people person. As long as he makes good food that's all I care about. One of the chefs at a restaurant I love can be a little moody, but he makes the best food I've ever had and I wouldn't hesitate to go there just because he doesn't have the best people skills.
Also, when he's at the market, maybe he feels like he's not 'on the clock' and doesn't have to be fake and nicey like he might have to be at work for customers.
re: yumcha
if this guy is only pretending to be nice because i'm giving him my money, then i'd rather spend my money somewhere where the restaurant actually cares if i'm enjoying myself. he needs my patronage more than i need his.
I would not go back to a place if I knew that the staff had to suffer abuse at the hands of the owner.
I liked the comment about how some people are not morning people and are just very off in the morning.
Other than that, has anyone wondered about Gordon Ramsay's following, especially since you have seen his reputatin through his show? Or the Soup Guy in NYC? Not a happy go lucky guy but still, there is a following.
It is all relative.
Food for me is 'like water for chocolate'
Who'd want to eat food from a poisonous personality?
Here is my restaurant jerk story: once when a niece and nephew were visiting I (female) called an Eastern European restaurant (Little Bucharest, in Chicago) to make a dinner reservation and was told there were no tables available. Two seconds later our nephew (male) called and immediately received a reservation. When we got there the oily owner kept oozing around our table making comments about the waitress' breasts. After dinner he brought complimentary liqueurs and offered them only to the men in our party. We never went back. The restaurant soon changed hands; I wonder why this guy's business didn't succeed.
probably not. especially if he/she directs that jack-assery to his/her employees. something tells me that if this guy is flat out rude to the smiling employees who work at the market he patronizes on a daily basis, then he's probably not much fun to work for in a high-stress environment like a restaurant.
this thread makes me think specifically of a pretty well-known chef/owner here in boston. former co-workers of mine who have worked at his restaurants have had several issues ranging from not getting paid (the payroll $ was financing his drug habit instead), to getting fired because they happened to be in the path of his post-all night bender tirade, to having a one day notice that they no longer have a job because the restaurant is closing. he's C.O.D. with the majority of his vendors because of his history of non-payment. apparently he's a very talented chef, but i will never find out for myself because i will never step foot in his restaurant.
If I knew the chef or the owner of a place was a jerk, rude to people etc. I wouldn't go to the place. But I would basically take this action based on personal experience, or the word of someone I trust... not reading about it on the web or other hearsay. Why support a person who's disrespectful to others?
The good thing is that I've found it's very rare to find a great place where the people running it are jerks. Why? Cause it would typically be reflected in their operation. Same thing with wine. Those that make great wines are typically great people. Food and wine is very much all about "people".
We have a n uber-ass-chef in my town too. Big ego, bigger attitude. I heard of him before I ever met him.
Now he is a client of mine and I know him in a different light. Actually he's quite nice.
Let's hope sometimes they have good days too.
His being a plain old jack-ass would not keep me from eating
at his place. If he were a neo-Nazi or a wife beater, then I wouldn't.
Does he keep his staff happy? If there is little turnover
he may actually be OK.
