Parkside Cafe in Seaford reopens post-Sandy
Parkside Cafe, perched above the canals of Seaford, was nearly demolished by superstorm Sandy. As owner Joe Bonomo tells it, the place had to be stripped down to the studs, its interior rebuilt entirely.
Now, freshly remodeled, the Parkside has reopened and will feature live music tonight. On chef Matthew Vitale's menu: kung pao calamari ($14), tuna tartare ($17), Cajun spiced jumbo diver sea scallops ($28), filet mignon gnocchi ($27) and paella ($32).
Parkside Cafe is at 2479 Adler Ct., Seaford, 516- 785-2390, parksidecafe.org.

Match report
For match photos scroll to PHOTOSTREAM above left; for match stats, go to the stats tab. Manager reaction below and click on teh images above to watch their press conferences
Chelsea came from behind to earn a vital three points in the Barclays Premier League title race with a 2-1 triumph over rivals Liverpool.
Martin Skrtel had put Brendan Rodgers' men ahead at Stamford Bridge inside five minutes, but first-half strikes from Eden Hazard and Samuel Eto'o secured a fourth consecutive home success for Chelsea to give their title hopes a boost.
Liverpool, who had only lost once in their previous six outings at Stamford Bridge, stormed out of the blocks and took the lead via Skrtel's close-range finish. But Chelsea were ahead before half-time, with a wonderful curling effort from Hazard and Eto'o's side-footed strike from six yards turning things around. Both sides had opportunities in a lively second period, but it was Chelsea who emerged victorious with Jose Mourinho's men, who sit third in the table, closing the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points, while Liverpool lie fifth after back-to-back top-flight defeats.
Frank Lampard replaced the suspended Ramires in one of four changes for Chelsea, while Liverpool named Daniel Agger in place of Aly Cissokho.
Liverpool were awarded an early free-kick when Eto'o upended Jordan Henderson. From the resulting set-piece, Suarez's header was only partially blocked by Branislav Ivanovic and Skrtel reacted quickest to tap home the loose ball from close range.
Chelsea almost had an immediate response when Simon Mignolet saved Hazard's initial effort but the ball deflected goalwards and required Glen Johnson to clear. The hosts continued to attack and the pressure finally paid dividends after 17 minutes. Oscar drove at the defence and his intercepted pass fell kindly for Hazard, who curled expertly into the top corner.
The home fans were celebrating again on 34 minutes as Eto'o completed the turnaround. Oscar was the architect again, crossing low into the six-yard box, where Eto'o squeezed the ball beyond Mignolet's right hand.
Searching for a swift response after the break, Liverpool almost levelled when Mamadou Sakho's looping header rebounded off the crossbar. After surviving that scare, Chelsea almost extended their lead after 54 minutes as Eto'o collected Hazard's through-ball and forced Mignolet into a near-post save.
Oscar flashed an effort wide of the far post, while at the other end Petr Cech had to be on his guard to parry Johnson's low, left-foot drive. Liverpool made claims for a penalty when Suarez fell under pressure from Eto'o but referee Howard Webb waved them away as Chelsea held on for the win.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "It was a big win, big opponent, big match and big respect to every player in this country because I love it, you love it, people around the world love it and the accumulation of matches is amazing.
"This was a big game; from the first to the last minute there was doubt about the result, everybody giving 100%. There was some good quality football and big emotion.
"We deserved to win because they did nothing to score the first goal. After that our reaction in the first half was fantastic. In the second half we defended well, they hit the post with Sakho, we had some counter attack situations where we could have killed the game with Eto'o, Torres and Hazard, but we didn't and it was hard until the last minute, but we deserved it.
'We knew before the game if we didn't win the distance to the leader was big because Arsenal had just won. Everything accumulated; fatigue, Ramires not playing, Mikel with flu, plus the injuries we had in the first half. All of this together makes me very happy with the level of their game."
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "It was always going to be a tough schedule for us, even if we had everyone fit, because of the squad being so thin. But I can only give credit to the players.
"Today, we showed moments of the quality we've shown throughout the course of the year and this season. We were unfortunate with the first goal, and the second one was a poor goal from our perspective.
"It shows you, even with the group we had, to keep the game so tight and I'm sure Chelsea are very happy with the win, everything about the determination and the will I have in the squad. We're disappointed with the result, but we have taken on two squads that are some of the strongest in Europe. For us, it demonstrates again the work we have to do.
"It's open. What I'm looking forward to is the second half of the season; we have to play every team except Manchester United at home. It's still very much open. On Christmas Day, we were top of the league; a few days and games later, we're fifth. I think that's the way it will go between now and the end of the season."

YouTube: Animated Fellowship of the Ring Showcase
My daughter heard me singing this in the shower the other morning. I was a little embarrassed. Anyway, Elrond is rocking that beard. Bilbo looks like Estelle Getty.
"The Wearer of the Ring, the Bearer of the Ring..."
A song for your Monday commute to work. Friggin' hippie orcs:
If I close my eyes and listen to the voices, Eowyn is fighting Skeletor here.
All rise for the Slacker National Anthem:
If we could just master the One Ring, we could save Middle Earth! Or have picnics with Orcs!:
Dammit, Gandalf! THE SURGE IS WORKING:

Y'know, I think I'll have to rent this. Jules Bass wasn't much of a lyricist, but the tunes are ok. Some of the character designs are cool, especially the orcs and the Witch-King.
Then again, there's Glenn Yarbrough, ugh. That wheedling vibrato is dire. Also, Casey Kasem as Merry? Ruh Roh! I'd forgotten how much voice work that guy used to do.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

SENECA COUNTY, N.Y. -- A Korean War vet will be laid to rest today, 62-years after he died in battle.
The body of Seneca Falls native, Corporal Elmer Kidd, was found in November of 1950, but was unidentified. Four years later, Kidd was declared killed in action. His remains were included in more than 200 boxes that North Korea turned over to the US back in 1993. DNA testing recently made it possible to identify Kidd. Kidd's remains finally arrived at Hancock International Airport earlier this week.
Kidd's funeral will be at the Sanderson Moore Funeral Home in Seneca Falls at 11 a.m. It will be followed by a burial at Sampson Veterans Memorial Cemetery.

Restoring Lives: Now That's Justice
It was the summer of 2009. I was on my second day of work for the U.S. Census Bureau, knocking on doors in rural South Carolina.
My cell phone rang. It was my supervisor.
"Patrice, headquarters called me and told me to send you home immediately and to take back all government property," she said. "I don't know why."
She knew me as a 61-year-old gray-haired mother, a former Washington Post reporter, an author and motivational speaker. She knew nothing about me 40 years ago, when I was a 21-year-old heroin user. I knew exactly why they were sending me home: I am a convicted felon.
In 1970, I spent part of a summer in jail for a drug charge and received five years probation. But that was just the beginning. In the decades since, I have learned what it's like to try to change your life in a fearful society that believes it's safest to lock up or discard anyone who has ever made a criminal mistake or had a problem with addiction. And I have learned that there's another way—a way that offers the possibility of restoring dignity and hope both to the people who make mistakes and those victimized by crime.
Throwaway People
The U.S. Department of Justice reports that one in 32 adults in the United States is behind bars or on probation or parole. One quarter of the prison population is locked up for nonviolent drug offenses, according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research.
Each time a person is locked away behind bars, it leaves a void in a family, neighborhood, or community. Most often, the burden of incarceration falls on communities of color. The Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), a leading organization promoting alternatives to incarceration, writes, "The war on drugs has become a war on families, a war on public health, and a war on our constitutional rights."
"We are exiling millions of mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters—making them missing persons," says Carol Fennelly, director of Hope House, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit organization that helps children stay connected with incarcerated parents.
I was lucky. I was becoming an addict when I was convicted. The system that sent me to jail did nothing to address my drug problem: It put me on probation and ordered me to pay more than $2,000 in fines, which only made me more bitter. I was a single mother who could not find a job because of my criminal record. I did not see any connection between the high fines and my behavior. I did not see how I was expected to dig myself out of the hole I was in.
Anyone labeled an "offender" or "ex-con" has a difficult time finding employment. Even though I served a short sentence, once I got out of jail, I could not find a job. I didn't know how to answer the question, "Have you ever been convicted of a felony?" Some days I lied; some days I told the truth.
Ban the Box for a Fair Chance
Breaking through "tough on crime" policies to give all Americans a chance at employment.
If I lied, I usually got fired within two weeks when the results of the background check came in. If I told the truth, I didn't get past the interview.
I searched for a job for at least three months before I finally received a break: A woman at a mental health center took a chance and hired me to work as a clerk in the business office in spite of my criminal record. Over the next several years, I took creative writing courses at night, got accepted into a journalism training program, and eventually became a newspaper reporter.
But I have never forgotten that those doors probably would never have opened without the woman who was brave enough to give me a chance.

Opera Performance
CARMEN: The story of Carmen, the wild and sultry Gypsy girl who loves freedom more than life itself, is one of the most popular operas performed today. George Bizet's catchy tunes, such as "Habanera," "The Toreador Song" and the "Flower Song," will sound familiar even to those who have never seen the opera. The hapless Don Jose, portrayed by tenor Kevin Courtemanche of the Metropolitan Opera, loses his heart to the lovely but treacherous Carmen, sung by Mezzo-soprano Frances Devine, but kills her rather than let her enjoy her new found love with the dashing toreador, played by Baritone Richard Cassell. In a slightly abridged, 2 hour version with 10 minute intermission, Capitol Heights Lyric Opera performs all major scenes, sung in French with brief English dialogues. 3 p.m.

7 Ways Your Kitchen Is Making You Fat
It's what you eat, not where you keep it that contributes to weight gain, right? Yes and no. The way you've organized your kitchen can make all the difference with your stay-slim plan.
By JuJu Kim
Your Plates & Glasses Are Too Large
Larger platter sizes contribute to over-serving and overeating, according to a 2012 study in the Journal of Consumer Research. Steer clear of oversized wine glasses as well, says Cassetty. In a Good Housekeeping Research Institute study, testers poured themselves the perfect amount — 5 ounces — when equipped with a smaller stem. But when pouring into a larger glass, almost half of the group gave themselves 2 ounces more on average — that's the equivalent of 50 extra calories!
Instead: Use a 9- or 10-inch salad dish to plate your food, and stick with a 10- or 12-inch wine goblet — a little larger than a champagne flute and way smaller than the fish-bowl size glass you find at many restaurants.

The Problem with Tree of Heaven
Tree of heaven sounds like it must be a great tree, right? It came from China where it grew on steep, rocky ground, often at the tops of mountains, pointing towards the heavens. Introduced to Philadelphia in 1748 by a gardener, the tree was popular because it grew rapidly in urban areas and had few pests or diseases. The problem is that the tree quickly forms dense colonies connected by underground roots. The trees release chemicals from their roots and leaves that prevent other plants from growing. The aggressive roots can damage building foundations and underground pipes.

text: The New York Islanders scored all three of their goals in the first period and never looked back on their way to a 3-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena. Evgeny Nabokov earned his first shutout of the season and 56th of his career. The Red Wings had a two game win streak snapped and head to Florida to play on Saturday.

Brockholes is a new nature reserve, owned by the Lancashire Wildlife Trust and constructed on the remains of an abandoned quarry near Preston, England. The area has been rehabilitated with wetlands, a hay meadow, woods and hiking trails to take it all in. The new 67-acre reserve and visitor centre was made possible with a sizable grant of £8 million from the North West Regional Development Agency, which includes landscaping and habitat creation. When the reserve opens later this spring, visitors will be able to ramble along the paths, explore the habitat, bird watch and much more.
The Visitor Centre, which floats on pontoons in the wetlands area, will also be a carbon neutral event venue. Adam Khan Architects won a RIBA competition to masterplan the reserve as well as design the Visitor Centre, which is characterized by a village-like cluster of tall peaked buildings with large windows overlooking the wetlands and reserve. Visitors standing on the decks of the Centre get an up close look at nature. The design phase of the buildings have already achieved BREEAM Outstanding and the project is on target to achieve Outstanding once the project has been completed as well.
Aside from being home to many species of animals, wetlands help keep ecosystems in check by absorbing excess water during wet periods and releasing it during dry periods – so losing them would be seriously detrimental to the environment. By preserving these wetlands and creating a sustainable visitor center on them, Brockholes can educate the public about them without adding more stress to this delicate area.

Steady Bulldogs pull away from Central late
Adams Central's potpourri offense was unable to keep pace with the steady output of New Haven's Kiersten Perkins Tuesday night and the Lady Jets lost 46-33 at home as a result.
The Jets (2-6) would see one player warm up for a brief period, then another would pick up the slack after that, but it wasn't consistent enough to keep pace with Perkins and her low post sidekick Kayla Fendel.
Perkins scored seven first quarter points to help New Haven (4-5) jump out to a 15-9 lead early, and she buried a 3-pointer during a 12-6 second quarter run for the Bulldogs as they went ahead 27-15 by halftime.
Adams Central chipped away at the Bulldogs in the second h...

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Why do I feel so tired if I get more than 11 hours of sleep? My mom says I slept too much. Is this true?
- Anya*
Most teens need between 8½ to more than 9 hours of sleep a night. If you get much more or less, you may wake up feeling tired and unrefreshed. People who sleep too long may also have trouble falling asleep, and they may wake up a lot during the night.
Some people who still feel tired after getting an adequate amount of sleep have sleep problems and don't realize it. Conditions such as sleep apnea, restless legs, or even depression can make it hard to get a good night's rest. Caffeine and some medications can also disrupt sleep patterns.
If you don't wake up feeling rested on most mornings, or think you might be depressed, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor.

Designed to take advantage of the available light, the home maximizes privacy and views of the bay. With over 2,000 square feet of living space, Beachaus II includes three bedrooms, four bathrooms and a large office/studio space that is separate from the living area. Given its LEED Platinum certification, the house is extremely energy efficient with high-performance windows, a tight thermal envelope, HRV air-exchange system and efficient spray foam insulation. Even the yard is efficient with partial irrigation from rainwater collected from the roof.
The house is located less than 650 feet (200 meters) from Semiahmoo Bay, and it's designed for "smart" modern living. InHaus development is a boutique home developer that creates homes built to "live smart, not large." The Beachaus homes are built to reflect the homes built along the California coastline and are the first homes in the South Surrey area to be independently LEED certified. Anchored by a solid concrete foundation construction that contrasts with the airy design — including 12-foot ceilings — the Beachaus II is a home that look as good as it feels.

As iconic as the little black dress, but decidedly more difficult to wear, the red dress is not for the faint of heart. You cannot argue with its overt sexiness or drop-dead glamour, but in the wrong shade, fabric or cut, red dresses can look just plain wrong. In the hopes of helping you embrace this knockout piece, we've come up with a few simple rules to ensure you achieve head-turning status.
How To Be A Lady In Red: Tricks For Choosing The Right Shade For You
- 1 of 19
We've rounded up some red carpet home runs to illustrate our tips for wearing the color with grace.
- 2 of 19
Lea Michele – Cranberry:
At the L'Oreal Paris Women of Worth event in New York City earlier this month, Michele chose a red, sheer, embellished Dolce and Gabanna lace dress. While this could veer into Vegas territory, the rich, darker blue-red hue of the dress, as well as the sleeves and calf-length of the skirt keep the look ladylike. This robust red is particularly great for blondes and pale-skinned ladies.
- 3 of 19
Elisa Sednaoui – Fire Engine Red:
Sednaoui attended the Pirelli Calendar's 50th Anniversary celebration in Milan wearing a dress from Fendi's S/S 14 collection. The bright color works with her complexion due its orange undertones, which complement her olive skin and deep brunette hair.
- 4 of 19
Lily Kwong –Tomato Red:
For the 10th Annual CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Awards Dinner, Kwong opted for a vibrant red Altuzarra cocktail dress. A high neckline, long sleeves, and a structural peplum temper the racy color, while her jet-black hair and porcelain skin provide a perfect canvas. This shade is ideal for darker complexions and brunettes, whereas it would be more of a challenge for a sunny blonde, as it could read too "Barbie" in a color this bright.
- 5 of 19
Rose Byrne – Crimson:
The patterned velvet devore of Byrne's Jonathan Saunders F/W 13 dress helps to soften the blue undertones in this burgundy shade. Byrne smartly opts for a rich red lip and a gold clutch, which warms up the look and prevents her from looking washed out. Steer clear of this color if you have darker skin tones, it looks best in contrast to paler skin.
- 6 of 19
Arizona Muse – Scarlet:
The model donned a custom red Louis Vuitton F/W 13 gown for the Marie Claire Prix De La Moda Awards in Madrid, showing that a demure style can feel fresh in a vivid red. The open neckline distances the color from her face—which is a helpful tip for those with fair complexions and or a tendency to flush easily—and the elbow-length sleeves and floor-length silhouette make this look read lady instead of tramp.
- 7 of 19
Lupita Nyong'o – Strawberry Red:
For the '12 Years A Slave' Paris premiere, Nyong'o opted for an embellished shift from Elie Saab's Resort 14 collection. The bright sequins and matching red Nicholas Kirkwood pumps shone against her dark complexion. Note that Nyong'o opted for paired down make up to allow the dress to take center stage.

Accessories & Supplies
Capacity 8 Quarts
Type HEPA
Oreck Vacuum Bags 7 7
Oreck makes a great vacuum We have 2 Oreck vacuum cleaners and have never had any problems. They are the lightest and easiest to use of any vacuums that we have ever had. I marked these bags as average because we prefer the HEPA bags which are excellent and worth the extra price. The paper bags do fine but the HEPA bags are superior. February 8, 2012
Some of Largest Bags Available Being a vacuum collector, I have to buy many different vacuum bags often, but I especially like Oreck's. Their vacuums use one the largest bags ever made. You can go months without changing a bag, and when you do, they are all filled with grit. Excellent filtration as well. August 26, 2012
Bags XL-0300604 I love the lightweight of the vaccum cleaner, but the bags are cheaper in the stores. I want to buy one for my daughter eventually. It would be easier to buy the bags online, but the cost is more expensive. I paid $18.99 for a package of 8 bags. May 21, 2012
Hepa filtration, cheap, effective, easy to use. The bag dock system makes for easy installation and better yet, easy removal as the bag seals itself when you remove it. The reviews that you read that are bad, are because the people changing the bags are doing it improperly and loosening the bag dock system when changing their bags. I've never had a leak into my outer bag. March 19, 2012
good unit Have had this product for 10 years still going strong. But can not seem to get the bags thru your cart online will not me access. April 22, 2012
Fine except review requirements too long. Order was easy. Bag went in vac easily. Fifty characters! Holy Smoke. Don't hold me to a minimum comment. I will give a bad review next time! February 21, 2012
Bags are only as good as vacuum! I owned an Oreck for 11 yrs, and had no problems with it. Then I bought a new one 2 yrs ago.....nothing but problems!!!!! The bag snaps off its "secure" plastic holder, and dirt fills up the outer bag, unless I check it every time it is turned on....it just pops off, and I must remove the whole thing, wash and dry it, and start over again. UGH. I hate it, and never will buy another Oreck!!! December 22, 2011

Iraq Kurds Launch Sinjar Offensive After Coalition Air Strikes
Kurdish officials said that Kurdish forces launched an operation to retake the town of Sinjar in northwest Iraq on Wednesday after coalition planes pounded Islamic State positions overnight. The peshmerga fighters made gains against IS throughout the day, the officials said, driving the militants out of at least eight sub-districts in the Zumar area, east of Sinjar. If the peshmerga succeeded in recapturing the town, it would open up a corridor to Sinjar mountain, where hundreds of minority Yazidis have been besieged by IS militants since August. It would also be a symbolic victory for the Kurds, whose reputation as fearsome warriors was bruised after Islamic State overpowered the peshmerga in Sinjar and killed or captured hundreds of Yazidis.

Netanyahu Blasts 'Hypocrisy' in Europe Over Israel
Speaking to the Foreign Press Corps on December 18, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu criticized what he called "hypocrisy" in Europe over Israel and Palestine. He referred to the decision of a European Union court to no longer recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization, and the resolution of the European Parliament on Palestinian statehood.Netanyahu insisted that Israel "is the bulwark of European values," calling it a tolerant, pluralist, vibrant democracy. Equal rights, he said, are "vigorously protected". He said half of Palestinian society has embraced Islamic extremism, while the other half fail to confront the issue. Blasting Switzerland's call for Israel to be investigated for war crimes, he asserted that Hamas has repeatedly committed war crimes. Hamas, he said, "is a terrorist organization committed to Israel's destruction." He said "peace will only come when the Palestinians are willing to confront their own extremists."
