Today in History was haunting Friday.Sept. 13, 1860: Methodist minister Anthony Bewley was lynched in Fort Worth.More than 150 years later, we still dont talk much about the hanging of a Methodist minister who had a Johnson County pastorate.The Fort Worth Vigilance Committee accused Bewley, 56, of opposing slavery and organizing resistance.On the verge of the Civil War, Texas had already seceded from free speech or religion.It is not clear whether Bewley ever did anything more than passively follow the beliefs of his church.By 1860, Methodists had split north and south, with Bewley presiding over a mission outreach for Texans mainly German settlers west of San Antonio who stayed with the Missouri-based northern conference of what was then called the Methodist Episcopal Church.A Bonham-based vigilance group had chased Bewley and other pastors from meeting there, proclaiming that the teaching and preaching of the ministers of that church do not meet the views of the people and must therefore be stopped.In summer 1860, when fires broke out in downtown Dallas and several nearby towns, a Dallas newspaper editor accused abolitionists of plotting with Bewleys Methodists.Soon, a White Settlement farmer found a letter purportedly written from Denton Creek, describing a plot and a Buley.Leaders in Fort Worth and Bonham put a $1,000 bounty on Bewleys head.He had fled to Arkansas, but was brought back and hanged late at night from a pecan tree on White Settlement Road.From Missouri, Methodist Episcopal Bishop T.A. Morris wrote to newspapers that Bewley was a man of a meek and quiet spirit who was anti-slavery only in the conservative Methodist sense.Texas logic seems to be this, Morris wrote:Any man to whom an incendiary letter may be addressed whether with or without his consent deserves to die.Bewley was half-buried at first, then dug up.History books tell us his bones were spread on the roof of a general store on West Weatherford Street between Main and Houston streets, facing what was then the former fort and would become the courthouse square. The New York Times reprinted his last letter to his widow and nine children, denying involvement.In these times of political excitement, he wrote, molehills are raised mountain-high.North Methodists were targeted, he wrote: From what we learned in Texas about that Fort Worth Committee, they had sworn vengeance against all such folks.His descendants went on to retell Bewleys story, some as ministers.As far as I know, the quiet pastor is not remembered on any marker or memorial in Fort Worth.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — The men's 15-kilometer mass-start biathlon race at the Sochi Olympics was postponed until Monday because of fog.
The race, initially set to start 7 p.m. local time, was delayed one hour before being rescheduled. Organizers said fog at the Laura Cross-Country Ski and Biathlon Center made the visibility too poor on the shooting range.
Conditions didn't improve enough to start the race.
Martin Fourcade of France is aiming for his third gold medal of the Sochi Olympics. while Ole Einar Bjoerndalen of Norway could win a record 13th Winter Olympic medal.

Group seeks input for retention of Oregon businesses
Lindsay Myers, executive director, states nearly 300 businesses in the Navarre Avenue corridor will be surveyed in the first phase.
"Our goal is to increase and open up the lines of communication between businesses, city government staff and local development officials," Myers stated. "Existing businesses create up to 80 percent of all new jobs in a community, so it's important to examine the needs of those companies already committed to Oregon."
A task force of community leaders has been working since April to develop the survey. The group, with representatives from diverse segments of the economy including business, government, education and health care, has identified the Navarre Avenue corridor as the target focus area. Navarre Avenue and its ancillary streets, including Coy, Dustin, Lallendorf, Stadium, Wynn and Wheeling, house most of the medium to small business establishments that will be targeted.
After the survey data has been tabulated, the task force will examine the results and look for ways to assist businesses in Oregon with operations and potential expansion plans. Businesses are encouraged to complete and return the survey by July 1.
"In the short term, we'll be identifying immediate concerns and looking at community services that need improvement," Myers said. "Ultimately we want to address such complex issues as the skills of the local workforce and the competitiveness of local businesses."
The foundation is being assisted by Ohio State University Extension in Lucas County and the Ohio Sea Grant College.
All Oregon business are invited to fill out the survey. You can do so by going to www.oregon.ohio.com, and clicking on business sector survey.

Eating out and going for lunch or dinner with friends is a great way to catch up and socialise. With family gatherings and birthdays, it's pretty hard to avoid eating out and it can be tough to deal with if you're trying to eat healthily. And that's why we're here with some suggestions on how to make the best choices when you go for that cheeky Chinese or takeaway!
Some content thanks to Safefood.eu.
Er… you'd like to do WHAT in the where now? Blush!
There may come the time when your partner asks you to do something that makes you feel nervous or embarrassed, totally turns you off, feels taboo to you, or makes you flinch with horror. It can be difficult to say 'no' to them without hurting their feelings, making them question whether they can be open with you sexually, or frankly panicking and feeling at a loss as to how to reply.
Sometimes it's difficult to tell whether someone is joking or serious about a sexual request. Ask them whether they are serious and if either or you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, suggest discussing this when you are both sober. Your reaction should depend upon your personal preference, the nature of the request, and how it is made.
If someone asks you politely and respectfully, and their request isn't breaking the law, then bear in mind that they have trusted you enough to ask, and that what's unusual or taboo to you might seem normal and enjoyable to them. Everybody has different sexual preferences, and it's normal for you and your partner to have different sexual interests and fantasies.
Is what they've asked for: A bit unusual, or just something you're not into?
If it is a bit unusual or makes you blush, you could say that you'd like to think about it for a while, but that you don't fancy it right now, which will give you some time to gather your thoughts and perhaps find out more about the subject. If you are neither put off nor excited by the sexual request, but it's important to your partner, then you might want to experiment and try it once.
It's important to make an informed decision, and that you take your instincts into account as well, and never ignore a gut feeling. If it is something you're just not into, clearly let your partner know how you feel. Don't say 'maybe' if you really mean 'not a chance!' Think about how you might feel about it after and don't do something just to keep someone else happy. If they care about you they will respect your decision.
Work on a compromise that suits both of you
Perhaps you might be able to negotiate a compromise that suits both of you. For example, "toe sucking just doesn't do it for me, but I'd love a foot massage instead". If someone has a fixation, rather than a passing fancy, this may not satisfy them, but it's up to you to decide if you're happy to fulfill their request.
How to say NO!
Your personal preferences are as valid as anyone else's, and you have a right to say 'no' to anything that you don't like the idea of. You do not have to fulfill every one of your partner's fantasies. Here are some tips on how to turn them down gracefully:
It's time for a serious sit-down talk, or time to get the hell out, if:
Remember that the age of sexual consent in the Republic of Ireland is 17 and the age of sexual consent in Northern Ireland is 16.
Having sex can be a mixed bag of emotions at times. You can feel self-conscious, nervous, excited or maybe not ready so here are a few common worries and a few remedies that may help:
Remember that the age of sexual consent in the Republic of Ireland is 17 and the age of sexual consent in Northern Ireland is 16.
Oral sex is a sexual act that can be mutually pleasurable to both partners. For some, it is a part of foreplay before another type of sex, and for others, it is the main sex act they do. It can be performed by people of any gender or sexual orientation.
But what actually is oral sex?
Making sure that oral sex is safer sex:
Remember that the age of sexual consent in the Republic of Ireland is 17 and the age of sexual consent in Northern Ireland is 16.
Cystitis is a very common infection of the bladder or urinary system that causes a burning feeling or discomfort when you pee. It affects up to 80% of women at some point in their lives, so everyone should know what it is and how to relieve the symptoms.
What causes cystitis?
Cystitis starts when bacteria enter the body through the urethra (a short tube that carries pee from the bladder to outside the body). Women are much more likely to suffer from cystitis than men because this tube is shorter in a woman's body than in a man's.
It can be caused by:
What are the symptoms?
If you constantly suffer from cystitis, ask for a full check up into the cause. Your doctor can arrange for an x-ray or do tests to check what's causing the attacks.
What treatment can I get?
How can I prevent cystitis?
We're all different. We come from diverse backgrounds and cultures, we like different things and we have different beliefs. And we also all have very distinctive body shapes and sizes.
What do you think when you look in the mirror? Are you happy with what you see or do you spend ages worrying about whether you look the way you 'should'?
Don't get hung up on your body, remember It takes all sorts to make the world. There are millions of different types of people so accept yourself as you are.
With all the bodily changes (and life changes) taking place during your teens and early twenties it's easy to become obsessed with how you look. After al,l your body is going through a lot of changes during this time and all those hormones whizzing around can really affect your moods.
It can be really hard if you are developing faster or slower than your friends but remember that everyone develops at a different rate.
In the long run, it makes no difference when you start and it won't affect what you will be like as an adult. This body stuff is not a competition. Try to relax, and if you are really worried talk to your parents, friends or someone that you trust.
That's what makes every one of us different and special in our own right.
Make sure you don't let others put you down or try to change you, they're not you! They don't feel what you feel. You live your life and let them get on with theirs.
Be happy in your own skin and enjoy being your own individual self.
When it comes to the birds and the bees we all like to think we're pretty well informed. Sure haven't we been learning about sex since we were in our teens?
We definitely know everything we need to know by now, right?
Wrong. Plenty of us actually don't know half as much as we think we do when it comes to sexual health and that's kind of a big deal.
Fancy yourself as a bit of a sexpert? Take our quiz to discover just how much you REALLY know.
Flatten the 7up, gather all the blankets, and batten down the hatches because it's officially cold'n'flu season again. As a nation, we love to feel sorry for ourselves when experiencing those first symptoms of the dreaded sniffles, and while different strokes work for different folks, it's important to remember that certain responses are not appropriate when dealing with relatively mild complaints.
That's where UnderTheWeather.ie seeks to enlighten us in our flu-busting pursuits. It's a new website launched by the HSE to help inform people of what steps should be taken when you're feeling down in the dumps.
We've all got our own ways of dealing with common maladies from sore throats and tummy bugs to earaches and sinus infections, with varying degrees of success! However, most of the time, there's no cure as good as a bit of R & R complemented by some good old-fashioned TLC.
If you're achin' all over there's no harm in resorting to pain relievers (within recommended guideline amounts, of course), but the main piece of advice is to avoid antibiotics as they don't work on common colds/flus.
Antibiotics only have an effect on bacterial infections. They have no effect on viral illnesses (such as colds and flu) whatsoever, and what's more, the unnecessary overuse of antibiotics helps contribute to the evolution of antibiotic-resistant strains of disease which are really, really hard to medicate against.
Often, it can be difficult to differentiate between viral and bacterial infections as many symptoms cross over between the two. But generally-speaking, bacterial infections tend to last longer than viral complaints, so if you've been coughing, sneezing, sniffling and spluttering for an extended period of time it's recommended that you see a doctor for a correct prescription. But other than that - tough it out!
The website offers lots of helpful tips and information on how to identify and treat an infection, and it's also got expert video content featuring advice from health professionals. It's broken down into illness-specific directions, which differentiate between advice for kids and adults.
It mightn't hurt like a sprained ankle, it might not look as bad as a broken leg, but the harsh truth is that concussion is one of the most under-ratedly dangerous injuries a sports player can sustain. Throughout the world, sports organisations have begun taking steps to treat cases of concussion more seriously, so you should too! If you're a keen sportsman/woman, here are a few things you should know about concussion.
Symptoms of concussion can include:
You may think you're feeling ok after a heavy hit during a match, but if you experience any of the above symptoms within the next few hours or even next few days of the incident, the chances are you've suffered some form of concussion (medical-types also refer to it as traumatic brain injury, which hits home a bit harder!) Often, players who suffer concussion during matches feel like it's not that big of an issue, and volunteer to play on. However, this is never an acceptable response.
Here's an alarming stat for you: according to a 2011 survey, 95% of rugby players remained on the field after suffering a concussion because they didn't think it was a serious issue. This can lead to players trying to hide serious symptoms in order to play on in games, which is the absolute opposite of what should be done. If you or your coach/team medic think that you're suffering from concussion, you should:

If you ask the average person what schizophrenia is they'll probably say it's a split personality disorder, which can cause people to become violent.
That's quite simply not the truth of the matter though: There's far more to schizophrenia than meets the eye.
Changes in thinking and behaviour are the most obvious symptoms of schizophrenia but, as with many other mental health conditions, the symptoms can vary from person to person.
Psychosis, or a psychotic episode can be a sign that something isn't right but there is no ONE symptom that everyone will display.
And just because someone has the symptoms, it doesn't mean they have schizophrenia. Confusing, isn't it?
The symptoms most commonly associated with the disorder are split into two categories:
Hallucinations: Hallucinations involve the five senses and affect the way in which a person interprets the world around them. A person may see, hear, taste, smell and feel things that simply aren't there. These experiences seem so real that they have difficulty believing otherwise.
Delusions: Delusions are strange or unusual beliefs that are not based on reality and often contradict the real-life evidence. For example, someone with schizophrenia may believe that the reason they're hearing voices nobody else can is that some manner of secret agent is listening to all of their conversations. Another form of delusion could be the belief that someone on a TV show was sending messages to them and them alone, or that passing cars on the street contained hidden messages for them. Delusions can begin suddenly or may develop over a period of weeks or months.
Disorganised thinking: Someone who is going through a schizophrenic episode may find it difficult to keep track of their own thoughts. Reading a newspaper article or watching something on TV could be difficult because they can't concentrate properly and they might describe their thoughts and memories as misty or hazy.
Disorganised behaviour: Unpredictable behaviour and appearance can also be a symptom. Someone may suddenly begin to dress oddly or behave in a way they never have before. They might become agitated, shouting and swearing for no reason. And if they believe someone else is controlling their thoughts, they might feel as though they aren't in control of their own body.
It's tough to tell exactly why some people have schizophrenia and others don't but there are some factors that may make someone more likely to develop it.
Absolutely, so the first thing you need to do is head straight to your GP to get a proper diagnosis. The sooner you get diagnosed the better! Recovery is possible so it's important to get the right treatment. As with any mental health issue, it's important to make sure you know exactly what you're dealing with. Schizophrenia can be confused with other illnesses like Bipolar disorder (manic depression) or Schizoaffective disorder (which may occur just once in a person's life or come back intermittently, often when triggered by stress).
If the GP thinks you might have developed schizophrenia they will probably refer you on to your local community mental health team (CMHT). These teams are made up of different mental health professionals who'll be able to offer their support and make the right diagnosis.
A combination of special antipsychotic medicines (which reduce feelings of anxiety or aggression) and psychological therapies (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Family Therapy and Arts Therapy) are normally used to treat the condition. People who have serious psychotic symptoms as a result of an acute schizophrenic episode may require a more intensive level of care in a hospital or clinic.
If a friend or family member is having an acute schizophrenic episode, refuseing to seek help and may present a risk to themselves or others, their nearest relative can request that a mental health assessment is carried out. Your GP or your local community mental health team can advise you about how to do this.
When you mention the term OCD the first thing most people think of is someone who needs to repeatedly wash their hands or likes to keep things nice and tidy. Monica from Friends may even come to mind.
However, there's far more to Obsessive Compulsive Disorder than you might think.
OCD tends to follow a four step pattern and people with the disorder will go through each of the steps in turn.
Experts have yet to discover exactly why some people have OCD and others don't, but they do have a few theories.
It doesn't matter what age you are, or whether you're male or female: OCD doesn't discriminate and can affect anyone at any time.
Well, first things first, don't panic or feel ashamed. Much like asthma or diabetes, OCD is a health condition that is completely treatable. You can recover so it's important to get diagnosed early.
You can't diagnose yourself so the best thing to do is go and visit your GP: they'll be able to help you figure out exactly what's going on. The GP might ask you a series of specially designed questions about your daily habits and worries to try and get a better idea of what you're going through.
After the initial screening (that's just fancy medical lingo for your first visit) the GP may refer you on to a mental health professional who'll help you assess how severe your OCD is. It's usually measured on three levels:
They're probably going to ask you more detailed questions to find out how much of your day-to-day life is affected by obsessive-compulsive thoughts and behaviour. It's important to be open, honest and as accurate as possible with your answers because the only way you can get the right treatment is by letting the professionals know what's going on.
Remember, there's no right or wrong answer and you don't need to be scared: Nobody is going to judge you.
Well, there are a number of options available to you but your own recommended treatment plan will depend on how much your OCD affects your daily life.
If you have a friend or family member who is trying to deal with OCD then you're probably going to want to help them.

I have a flanders red that's been sitting in a bucket with roeselare for 5 months - it's getting good and sour, and has a big nasty pellicle, but the gravity is steady at 1.011 - I was under the impression that the brett in the R. blend should be chewing this down to close to 1.000. Am I mistaken?
It's probably going to be pretty good if it stays there. Rodenbach does have quite a bit of body left.
I'd have to check my notes on other PC, but I think my last beer w/ 3763 maybe dropped from 1.014 to 1.008. It wasn't a big drop, yet it got plenty sour, tart and good complexity.
The presence of a pellicle is an indication that brett is active, so you don't have to worry...the bugs/yeast are there.
5 months is still young, so you would be best to let it go for at least another 5 and check/taste it again. Serve it when it tastes good, don't worry about gravity.
My experience, and the experience of brewing friends, is that our sour beers haven't made big drops in secondary. (They don't finish @ 1.001)
I have a roselare flemish red 7 months old and hanging out around 1.008. I don't think it's going to drop any further, even though I mashed at 148.
Just curious as to why you used buckets. I have a lambic in buckets and after 12 months it's ridiculously sour with overtones of vinegar. I feel like the bucket let the beer breathe too much. It's my only sour ale ever done in a bucket, and I won't do it again.
For a lambic, you are looking at about 2 years or so for it to 'fully' develop. I haven't used the Roselare strain but have used Wyeast 3278 and let it go for quite a long time to mature. Take your time with a Lambic and you will be rewarded.
As for aging a Lambic, I think it should only be done in glass. I have made a few Lambic's over the years and only age in glass.
It should, in theory drop the gravity, but how much is dependent on how much brett food was left in the beer when you added the roselare. Even though the brett can break down the more complex sugars, that regular sacc cannot, it cannot eat all forms of sugar. Assuming your beer went into the secondary at 1011, I would think you have some activity in there, but it may take time. Also, like sacc, brett has optimal ferment temps so it could just be that it is too cool for it to do its thing, or you need to wait a little more.
In short, your primary strain may have eatean more of the sugar than you thought it would, or you need to give it more time. I doubt it will get to 1.000.

If a server that is running SQL Server experiences an abrupt shutdown, it may take a database a long time to recover at start up if all the following conditions are true:
The conditions required for you to experience this problem are extremely narrow and only apply to a small subset of long recovery cases. In particular, if database recovery is taking a long time because the SQL Server service was cycled in the middle of a single, or a small number of large transactions (for example, index creation, index rebuilds, or large insert, update, or delete jobs), this issue is probably not contributing to the problem. In order for there to be a high chance that this problem will occur, there must be an extremely large number of transactions (typically more than 10,000) active at the moment that SQL Server is abruptly stopped.
Even in situations where all these conditions are met, it is not always a good idea to apply this fix when a long-running recovery is occurring. The reason it is not a good idea is that applying the fix and enabling the trace flag that you need requires you to stop and restart the SQL Server service. Stopping and restarting the service will abort the active recovery process. Much of the work that has already been completed in recovery will have to be repeated when you restart SQL Server. Therefore, the overall recovery time might increase.

So Eliot the dog is on the road to better health with Tara. I have to say, Tara is the Mother Teresa of dogs in Dallas. CoCo was a rescue dog I got when I lived in California, and I'm very grateful for her. She is wonderful! I just had to praise Tara for her selfless work helping animals in Dallas.
Dinner at Daylon's! Let's talk about Courtney's comment that, "People are so eager to fall in love". Love is powerful. It feels good when you are newly in love. Everything is wonderful, and I feel happy when I'm falling in love. It makes me feels like an energetic 18-year-old kid, and I love it. Maybe I'm addicted to falling in love, and it might be an issue for me. Honestly, Courtney, I don't freaking care. I feel like Courtney's comments about love and relationships are coming from a very conservative perspective. Courtney gives me the impression that she is too wound up. Honestly I feel like she needs to be unwound.

General Assembly Budget Gradually Undoes State Workforce Cuts
One little-noted aspect of the budget that passed both chambers of the General Assembly this month was the increase in full-time equivalents (FTEs) that it authorized.
During his second term, Governor Donald Carcieri made national news with his vow to trim the state workforce by 1,000. With a heavy reliance on attrition (that is, eliminating positions when employees retired or otherwise moved on), the number of authorized FTEs decreased from 16,417 in 2006 to 14,341 in 2010. Since the election of Governor Lincoln Chafee, approximately one-third of that reduction has been reversed.
However, the state's economic malaise has continued to suppress private-sector employment. As a result, taking the annual average employment for the years provided on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Web site, the number of FTEs per 100 employed Rhode Islanders has effectively returned to where it was before the reduction.
In the following chart, the line shows authorized FTEs (with the scale on the left axis), and the columns show the ratio to statewide employment (with the scale on the right axis).
An interesting example of state workforce growth in action is available in article 4 of the budget. Sections 4 through 7 take the seemingly neutral step of changing the Office of Economic Recovery to a new Office of Management and Budget. What that change actually accomplished, however, was to make permanent an office created for the temporary purpose of processing federal stimulus payments to the state. At the same time, the number of employees dedicated to the office is expected to increase from seven to 11.
One Response to "General Assembly Budget Gradually Undoes State Workforce Cuts"
Carey Gilbert
Oh to live in Rhode Island where I grew up.
One would think that the smallest state in the union would run like a well oiled machine. With all of the natural beauty, the Yankee work ethic, the size and all of the potential a bunch of union connected nit-wits continue to drive the state into a fiscal wasteland.
Are the voter so out of touch? Are they just apathetic? Or, are they just plain stupid?
When the state finally declares bankruptcy and everything goes on the block I'll make a bid on South County. Yes, the whole thing! And then, I'll bet I can make it a going enterprise in less than two years.
Good luck folks.

Gavin Floyd looks to rebound when the Phillies go for their first series win against Kyle Davies and Atlanta. Game time is 7:35 EST.
Floyd (0-1, 10.12 ERA) was boxed around in his first start against the Dodgers and is looking to regain his excellent spring form.
He'll face 22-year-old right-hander Kyle Davies (0-0, 5.40 ERA), a former fourth-round draft pick that asserted himself as one of the top arms in the Braves system. He pitched five innings against the Giants in his first start, but the bullpen failed to hold the lead.
The Phillies will likely be patient with Floyd should he struggle again, given the success Ryan Franklin has had in the bullpen, but no one is under the microscope more than this young man. Another setback in confidence would be devastating, not just to the starting rotation, but to his chances of ever becoming a pitcher they can count on. Some would say it's still early in his development, but I am not one of them. He got his first taste of big-league hitters two seasons ago. There's nothing left for him at Triple-A. The best resources he has are with him on the Phillies.
Backup plan
Perhaps I'm reading too far into it, but the fact that Pat Gillick watched Cole Hamels' last start in Clearwater is certainly intriguing. The last report I read had him pegged as a July arrival, and I'd assume that's if nothing went wrong in the starting rotation. Randy Wolf is also expected back around that time.
Reading between the lines, it shows me they're extremely excited to throw this pitcher into the fray, regardless of the time he's lost developing in the minors.
Catcher search
Caught a rumor from a Pittsburgh paper that the Phillies are trolling for a catcher, someone that could potentially replace Mike Lieberthal or bridge the gap until Jason Jaramillo is ready.
Ronny Paulino of the Pirates was the name mentioned in the article. Paulino played two games for Pirates in September after solid half-season with Indianapolis (.315, 13 home runs, 42 RBIs). Baseball America rated the Dominican-born backstop as the organization's best defensive catcher before the 2005 and '06 seasons. He's blocked in Pittsburgh by Ryan Doumit and Humberto Cota, catchers they appear to value equally.
Everyone knows I'm a big Carlos Ruiz fan and liked what he has done the last two seasons in the minors, but I'm catching a vibe he's not in the Phillies plans, even as a backup.
It's interesting to note the Phillies have not been afraid to pull Lieberthal in the middle of games, doing it twice last week. I have to question Lieberthal's health, and wonder if this recent search is for someone that can step in immediately should Lieby go down.
It's not a bad idea. Sal Fasano is not a full-time catcher. For all his appeal, his value so far has been to help usher pitchers like Gavin Floyd into the big leagues.
Thome stays hot
Jim Thome belted his sixth home run and also doubled this afternoon, helping the White Sox to a 13-9 win against Detroit. There are only two players hotter or as hot as Thome, and they're both in the smoking-hot AL Central. Chris Shelton of Detroit hit his seventh home run in today's game. The other is Travis Hafner, who has six dongs for the division-leading Indians.
Hats off to Big Jim. He's a man on a mission, and is proving he has plenty of baseball left in the tank.

Business Lunch in OC
- MEalcentric Jan 3, 2007 06:06 PM
Looking for a good place to take some client for lunch. We are in Costa Mesa and they are in Irvine. Price is no object. Thanks.
re: SouthOCHound
Mastros is my #1 choice but they are not open for lunch.
re: MEalcentric
Bummas. OK, I have no idea which ones are open for lunch, but here's from the hip:
Gulfstream, Roys or Flemmings in Fascist Island
Bistango, Blue Water Grill, Il Fornaio, Darya, or Antonellos in Costa Mesa. 21 Oceanfron, Sage or Taco Rosa in Newport Beach.
We just had lunch at Onotria yesterday and it was wonderful. The tri tip sandwich is amazing.
Two more thoughts. What about Plums on 17th in Costa Mesa? Not a steakhouse but if your guests haven't really sampled califonia cuisine it might be a refreshing break from the ordinary. Also, if you are not opposed to travling to Tustin, I would heartily recommend Zov's.
Throw them for a loop and take them, literally, to the beach. If this is a lunch where you want to linger and not rush back to the office, the Beachcomber Cafe in Crystal Cove State Park might work.
It's all about the beach, being outside, and the view. Food's just ok. Casual, & not the hyper expensive treat that client lunches usually entail. Just a twist on the usual, y'know?
Haven't been yet, but heard good things about Bistango.
Onotria is indeed open for lunch.
When the Wild Rabbit was open for lunch, I took some clients there and they enjoyed it. But I think they are dinner-only now.
Kitayama's seems best suited for the business lunch and have had some decent meals with clients there.
There is Taleo Grill in that marketplace, but that parking lot is becoming more of a pain to find parking every time I visit. Houston's and Ruth's Chris are also in that area.
Also, across the street from the Bluffs, is Marco Polo, a nice Italian restaurant. Had excellent lasagna there last week, rack of lamb on my previous visit.
Turner New Zealand is also quite good, and open for lunch.
Second Zov's in Tustin, if you're willing to travel out a bit.
re: Wonginator
I like Bistango for client lunches. Unusual decor, food is always solid, and lots of "business" going on there during the lunch hour.
re: Samantha
I'll second Bistango is a good choice for a business lunch. Also, just up the street is Prego, a nice italian place conducive to impressing your client.
re: nikinaka
Didn't Koto close like four years ago?
re: cdmedici
Yes, Koto has been closed for a while. The empty building still sits there though.
re: kingkong5
my apologies! i moved out of the area but could've sworn i spoke with someone who had been recently. my mistake.
Bistango is a great choice. If you don't mind driving to Newport then I would also recommend Bayside which is also owned by the Ghoukassians. Pretty soon they will open Kimera in Irvine on Jamboree. It is going to be Japanese Italian. Cool.
It should be yet another great place to take clients to lunch.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
The legal gambit would seem ripe for a investigation, given that the Oliver-Lynn apartment building is hardly the only one Miami-Dade County where tenants live in wretched conditions. "I could go out today and find twenty apartments in Overtown and twenty more in Liberty City where the conditions are as bad or worse," says Eric Thompson, chief organizer of the Miami chapter of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN),a national advocacy group for low- and moderate-income communities.
Thompson believes the residents of the Oliver-Lynn apartments received such extensive help only because ACORN used its hell-raising expertise to pressure the city. On September 11 he and other members of his organization led a crowd of angry tenants to the office of Wynwood-Edgewater Neighborhood Enhancement Team administrator Sergio Guadix and demanded action. The Herald and Channel 4 accompanied them. In response Guadix managed that very day to gather a number of city and state officials at the building for a detailed inspection.
But the prospect of more condemned buildings and more homeless tenants and more cost to the city has Guadix worried. "This is a situation that may come up in the future," he says, "and the city cannot continue to do this or we would go broke. Maybe we need to come up with legislation to help us." Guadix's concerns are echoed by Miami's housing program manager, Lorenzo Rodriguez, who adds that the city simply doesn't have the financial resources to come to the aid of every family dislocated by condemnation. "If it was a recurring situation, it would be a problem," Rodriguez says. "We don't have those kind of funds."
All of which would seem to argue in favor of taking up David Abraham's idea that the courts might look favorably upon an effort to recoup public money spent as a result of landlord negligence. His optimism aside, Abraham warns that nothing is guaranteed. "The city or the county can go after such a person," he notes, "but it is a judgment call whether the person has planned this out well enough to make himself judgment-proof. It could take years and they could never collect. Most of these folks who own such buildings don't make overnight decisions. They make sure it is very difficult to get money out of them." If Oliver-Lynn Properties is any example, it can be very difficult simply locating them.
That company's address appears to be a mail drop at an Atlanta franchise of Mail Boxes Etc. It has no telephone listing in the Atlanta or Miami areas. Its registered agent in Georgia has since resigned his position and in any case claims he has had no contact with company executives since it incorporated in October 1999. And the company has yet to register with the Florida Division of Corporations.
Property records list a man named Roan Yarn as president of Oliver-Lynn Properties, and a source familiar with the condemned Wynwood apartment building believes Yarn spends time at a real estate office in Miami Beach. Others sources provided phone numbers, but calls to Yarn were not returned.
Conventional research may have ended inconclusively in this instance, but plaintiffs in a lawsuit -- a city or county, for example -- can compel responses from a defendant. And though Miami City Attorney Vilarello may believe he'll never resort to lawsuits and subpoenas served on property owners who inflict financial damage on the city, he is unequivocal in his opinion about who should pay: "Absolutely I think they should," he says of negligent landlords. "If the professor has a way to do that, please let me know."

We all know the old adage that good fences make good neighbors but building one from scratch can be quite a daunting project. And before you begin, you need to think about your requirements in terms of time, budget and materials, to name but a few.
Below I've put a list of some really good tutorials that should be possible for a DIY'er with basic carpentry skills. I've also listed some ideas where you can get good info on the fencing and materials used. So here's 15 options you can consider.

The primary purpose of this investigation is to determine the predictive value of task persistence as measured by a mirror tracing task. A secondary purpose is to evaluate differences in task persistence in smokers with or without schizophrenia. It is hypothesized that task persistence in smokers in both diagnostic categories (schizophrenia and no schizophrenia) will predict tobacco dependence treatment outcome at one and six months. It is also hypothesized that smokers with schizophrenia will show lower levels of task persistence after controlling for other motor skills than smokers without schizophrenia.

San Antonio at Dallas (8 p.m. EST). The Spurs, winners of four straight, take on the Mavericks, who are unbeaten at home.
-Dwight Howard, Magic, had 35 points and 16 rebounds in Orlando's 117-116 overtime victory over Cleveland.
-Joe Johnson, Hawks, scored 34 points, had 10 assists and five rebounds in Atlanta's 117-109 victory over Charlotte.
-Gilbert Arenas, Wizards, had 30 points, 11 assists and six rebounds to lead Washington to a 103-90 win over Indiana.
-Rashad McCants, Timberwolves, scored a career-high 33 points on 13-for-22 shooting in Minnesota's first victory this season, 108-103 over Sacramento.
Boston routed the New Jersey Nets 91-69 Wednesday night to improve to 7-0, their best start since they opened 10-0 in 1972-73. The Celtics' best start was 14-0 in 1957-58.
Chris Wilcox scored 20 points, Damien Wilkins added 19 and the SuperSonics spoiled Dwyane Wade's return to the Heat lineup by beating Miami 104-95 Wednesday night - Seattle's first win in nine games this season.
Dwyane Wade scored 15 points in 25 minutes on 5-for-9 shooting in his season debut, in Miami's 104-95 loss to Seattle on Wednesday night. The Heat were down by 23 early in the fourth quarter, before an 18-3 run led by Wade made things interesting. Miami is now 0-4 at home for the second time in franchise history. ... Ron Artest returned from his seven-game suspension with 17 points and six assists in Sacramento's 108-103 loss to Minnesota. The Kings have lost all five of their road games.
The Detroit Pistons improbably came back from a 22-point deficit to beat the winless Golden State Warriors 111-104 Wednesday night. The Warriors remained the NBA's only winless team at 0-6.
Houston guard Tracy McGrady is expected to miss about a week after straining his right elbow in a 93-90 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday night. The 6-foot-8 McGrady, taken to a hospital for tests, was hurt trying to swat the ball away from Luke Walton in the final minute of the second quarter. McGrady's arm hit Walton's arm and snapped backward. McGrady was the NBA's leading scorer coming into the game, has been plagued by injuries the last two seasons, mostly to his back. He missed 11 games last season, seven because of back spasms.
The New York Knicks fined Stephon Marbury more than $180,000 after he blew off Tuesday night's game against Phoenix. According to the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, players are docked 1/110th of their salaries for a missed game without a reasonable excuse. With Marbury scheduled to earn $20.1 million this season, that would be about $182,800. Marbury didn't start in the Knicks' 84-81 loss to the Clippers on Wednesday night, but he entered the game late in the first quarter and finished with 13 points.
LeBron James scored 39 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and dished out 14 assists in Cleveland's 117-116 loss to Orlando. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, James is the first player to record that many points, assists and rebounds in a game since Wilt Chamberlain in 1968. ... Yao Ming had 26 points and 13 rebounds in Houston's 93-90 loss to the Lakers. ... Gerald Wallace and Jason Richardson each scored 27 points but Charlotte fell to Atlanta 117-109. ... Baron Davis had 29 points and 10 assists for Golden State, in a 111-104 loss to Detroit.
``Unless you feel like you have something at stake or something to lose as a player, then things won't change. If you don't feel like the Heat mean something to you ... you have to have a real meeting with yourself about what you care about. I don't see a team that really feels like they have anything at stake here. They come in, they play, they get beat, they go home, they go out into the night.'' - Miami coach Pat Riley after the Heat's 104-95 loss to Seattle on Wednesday. Miami is now 0-4 at home for the second time in franchise history.
