Juvenile/Missing Persons (Clearinghouse)
The Missouri State Highway Patrol recognizes the importance of providing assistance to the families of missing individuals. In 1985, the Missouri General Assembly signed into law state statute 43.402, which established the Missing Persons Unit within the Highway Patrol. Since that date, the Missing Persons Unit has served as the clearinghouse for the State of Missouri, and is an investigative unit within the Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control in Jefferson City. This unit provides technical and investigative assistance to law enforcement agencies, and serves as a point of contact for citizens and family members of missing individuals.
Through the Missing Persons Unit, information is compiled, exchanged and disseminated with the goal of helping to locate missing individuals. In addition to providing investigative assistance, the Missing Persons Unit also hosts public safety programs, law enforcement training and statistical analysis as requested. Some of the services provided by the Missing Persons Unit include:
Locater Posters
The Missing Persons Unit will, upon request, create missing persons posters to assist law enforcement agencies with investigations. These posters are created using the Locater system and can be disseminated nationwide within a matter of minutes. Posters can also be created to assist families filing missing persons reports. Waiver
Interactive Public Website
The Missing Persons Unit website posts photographs and information concerning missing individuals. Citizens may review this site daily, print and disseminate posters, or call with information concerning a possible sighting. This website allows for timely posting and is continuously updated, offering the most current information about missing and unidentified persons, companions and abductors.
The Missing Persons Unit distributes educational and informational brochures on a variety of topics. Please click here for a list of available brochures.

When C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy, he finds himself unearthing a threat which challenges the entire human race.
The answers seem to lie within an old, secret British institute, known only as Torchwood. But Torchwood was destroyed, years ago, and the keys to the institute are held by its only two survivors – former Police Officer Gwen Cooper, who has long since disappeared along with her husband and child, and the mysterious Captain Jack Harkness, a man whose history seems to stretch back centuries.
With Rex under attack from all sides, in both the US and the UK, he soon discovers there are forces at work within every level of society, determined to stop Torchwood's return. As a chain of events across the world links together the most disparate and unlikely individuals – including a surgeon, a killer, senators and CEOs – a new Torchwood team takes shape. But this time, the threat is much closer to home, as they realize that their greatest enemy is mankind itself…
CAPTAIN JACK HARKNESS (John Barrowman)
Jack looks like a hero. But he's so much more than that...
He's American, handsome, with a killer smile and a classic coat. But you don't expect heroes to be this much fun. He's witty, fast, subversive and there's a reason for that glint in his eye - he'll sleep with women, he'll sleep with men; if aliens invade, he'll sleep with them too. Got a problem with that? Tough!
His dashing style hides a secret. There are mysteries about Jack - a man going under his name seems to have a history stretching back to World War 2, or even earlier, to the Nineteenth century, the Eighteenth...
Truth is, Jack Harkness is immortal. A fixed point in time and space. The only one of his kind. For thousands of years, he has never been able to die. When killed, he comes back to life - seconds later. Though his tragedy is, he feels every death. It hurts - and so does the passage of time. He can never love anyone for too long, because he will always lose them. As a result, he's lived many lives. He's been a conman, a thief, an adventurer - though more a rogue than a villain, because his perspective on human life makes him appreciate this world all the more.
Jack once ran the Torchwood Institute, a British organization dedicated to fighting the strange and bizarre. He was king of his own little world for a while, the happiest he'd ever been. But Torchwood fell. His friends were killed. The Institute closed down, and Jack disappeared, to start yet another of his many new lives. And yet...
The only thing that could call Jack Harkness back is his unstated love for Gwen Cooper. And when a new, epic danger affects the whole planet, Jack finds himself back at the center of events, fighting not just for his own life, but for everyone on Earth. But this time, are the stakes too high?
GWEN COOPER (Eve Myles)
All Gwen wants is a quiet life. Honest.
She's Welsh, lives in seclusion, far away from the city, on a cliff top in the wilds of South Wales with her devoted husband, and baby Anwen - it's a rural idyll.
And it's a lie. Gwen is in hiding, because she once lived the most extraordinary life. She was the heart and soul of an organization called Torchwood, a freelance band of fighters who fought the strange and unexplained. She was a defender of the human race.
But no more. Torchwood was destroyed. Her colleagues died, or fled. And Gwen hid herself away, for the rest of her life, to protect her loved ones. But knowing, just knowing, that one day trouble would come calling again.
She lives the ultimate double life: the funny, salty, earthy woman who loves home and family, combined with the tough, ruthless warrior, who loves the thrill of the fight. She's both selfish and selfless. And never doubt it - when Gwen's in a crisis, she is magnificent. Gun in both hands, baby strapped to her chest, she'll run and fight and never give up.
It's passion, in the end: Gwen's all about passion. She loves her man, she loves her child, she loves this mad old world, and maybe she loves Captain Jack Harkness just a little too much. But when the events of this story push Gwen to the limit, she'll need to call on resources she never knew she had, to take action and make the most terrible decisions, on behalf of all mankind.
REX MATHESON (Actor TBD)
He's 28, the golden boy. Has been, all his life. Harvard education, fast-tracker in the C.I.A., destined for success. Though he's never taken it easy – Rex hustles, seduces and campaigns to get where he is today. He can talk his way into anything, then charm his way out, fast. He's made a lot of enemies, but his friends and lovers would defend him to death.
His choice of career is significant. Someone like Rex could make a fortune in Wall Street, or Hollywood. But choosing the C.I.A. says a lot about him: that for all his swagger, he does believe in justice. And will fight for it.
Slowly but surely, we see him make friends. He's thrown together a bunch of people known as Torchwood, the only people who might have the answer to a global mystery. To Rex, at
first, they're a bunch of freaks. Welsh women and World War 2 Captains, what's that about?! But as they race from one crisis to another, dodging assassins, blackmail, corruption and conspiracy, from Washington to Wales and the slums of Shanghai, Rex forges friendships in the heat of fire. He learns to trust his new colleagues. And they realize that this dangerous, dazzling, reckless man is the best friend they could ever have, in a world going to hell.
They frighten us, men like Rex. We wish we were him; we never will be.

Helping carry over into 2013 what's been a great run by noteworthy new books by Seattle and Northwest writers is this evening's reading by Seattle writer with her historically-set debut novel, The House Girl (William Morrow). "The House Girl is an enthralling story of identity and social justice told through the eyes of two indomitable women, one a slave and the other a modern-day attorney, determined to define themselves on their own terms." – Hillary Jordan. "Tara Conklin's wise, stirring and assured debut tells the story of two extraordinary women, living a century apart, but joined by their ferocity of spirit. From page one, I fell under the spell of The House Girl's sensuous prose and was frantically turning pages until its thrilling conclusion." – Maria Semple.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Hurricane Manuel has made landfall in northern Mexico.
The storm has maximum sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) and it's centered about 95 miles (150 kilometers) southeast of Los Mochis in Sinaloa state.
Meanwhile, the government is trying to reach a tiny coffee-growing village deep in the country's southern mountains, where officials fear 58 people may have died in a landslide.

About Teairra Mari
Teairra Mari was the kind of R&B singer who was plucked up by Jay-Z and signed away to Def Jam at age 16, releasing a fairly successful single, "Make Her Feel Good;" the remix of which featured Kanye West. Unfortunately, she was also the kind of R&B singer who would get a call on her prom night, informing her that she would be dropped from the label due to poor sales, despite not much in the way of promotion. Not to be deterred, Teairra released her first mixtape in 2009, which featured appearance by Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Soulja Boy. With the momentum gained from her mixtapes, she is now recording her next album which will be produced by Rico Love, releasing the lead single, "U Did That." While the album has seen delays, Mari released her fifth mixtape, called "Unfinished Business."
Facts Only
- She has a recurring role in the reality show, "Love & Hip Hop."
- In 2011, she was arrested for drunk driving.
- Her name seems similar to Teena Marie, of whom she has a similar sound.
- Her grandmother sang back up vocals for Aretha Franklin.
- At 16, she was signed and later dropped from Def Jam. She received the call letting her know that she was dropped on her prom night.

How Cycling Can Help You Get the Most Out of the Holidays
Survive Thanksgiving
12 p.m. Up Your Tolerance
3 / 7
Not only are you going on your seventh hour in a vertical position, during which you accomplished more than you would've in an entire day had you slept in, but you also released enough endorphins during your ride to cruise cloud nine and erase the anxiety that comes with catching your lip on one of aunt Sandy's stray whiskers. As the family spills into your front door, dragging mud, draping coats and dropping purses onto your clean space, your level of patience and tolerance is off the charts. You are the hostess with the mostest, sacrificing your La-Z-Boy—with cup holder—so uncle Eddie has the best seat for the 12:30 kick-off.

July LyricsArtist: Ocean Colour SceneAlbum: One From The Modern But I can hear the snow Falling on my window I had to go away To somewhere deeper down I know it's my mistake To take off out of this town And June becomes July This road's on fire And my train's running slow It rains against my window I had to get away To somewhere no-one knows I know it's my mistake To take off now in this way And June becomes July The air is thin When you're above the clouds I see them from my window It's strange to get away now To somewhere no-one goes I know it's my mistake But I don't even know now And June becomes July And June becomes July

"Sixty feels comfortable," Sting told the sold-out crowd at New York's Beacon Theatre on October 1st. "I've always felt sort of old." But celebrating the milestone birthday onstage, Sting was positively boyish, ecstatically jamming with a stacked all-star roster of friends and fans including Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder and Lady Gaga.
He has a lot to celebrate this fall: Sting just released 25 Years, a box set focusing on his quarter-century as a solo artist, and this month he kicks off the 32-date Back to Bass tour, playing in theaters with a stripped-down band. "I thought it was a good time to reflect," says Sting. "For me, getting older enriches life. You realize there are a limited number of summers left – or tours, songs, relationships – so you really have to value them."

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
You wanted tickets to Shore Thing – the annual New Year's Eve dance music event at Bondi Beach – and found tickets going for two different prices:
The event is held at the same venue and there is no seating preference, so why the $12.90 difference?
As CHOICE found out, add-on charges for tickets vary from event to event and from one ticketing agency to another. These costs, such as phone booking charges and venue pick-up fees, are not upfront and you'll only discover how much extra you have to fork out when you've almost completed the booking and are about to pay up.
Furthermore, the "best available" seats you choose or have been assigned may exclude seats – usually with the best view – that have already been privately allocated by the event promoter as complimentary tickets to corporate sponsors. We explain how ticketing agencies dominate the market and what hidden costs you should watch out for.
Please note: this information was current as of March 2009 but is still a useful guide to today's market.
In Australia, there is no regulatory body overseeing the setting of ticket prices or pricing structure of tickets. Live Performance Australia (LPA), peak body for the live entertainment and performing arts industry, says its members usually state in advertisements that "additional charges" apply to the advertised price, in a bid to be as transparent as possible about ticket costs.
LPA spokesperson Suzanne Daley Carr says while the LPA has not received any consumer complaints in recent years about add-on fees, it set up a new complaints handling and dispute resolution policy last September (email@example.com) to address consumer complaints when they are not resolved by an LPA member.
Ticketing add-on charges are decided and controlled by ticketing agencies, and a lack of regulation means some agencies' charges are more punishing than others. CHOICE believes add-on fees should be upfront so consumers can see all the extra charges, and therefore total price of their ticket, before filling in personal details and providing payment details.

This morning I wrote my last article for the Collegian. It was sort of a bittersweet moment since I'm happy I don't have to write anything else but I'm also sad it's over. I had to cover the men's golf team this week and their tournament at Ball State.
Last Wednesday we had our last meeting of the year and for our last ice breaker we had to say our favorite Collegian memory. I had so many it was hard to narrow down but I think my favorite was my birthday when everyone signed a card and made me a gift! I'm so sad I won't be able to do newspaper next year since I'll be so busy but I'll definitely come back if my second semester clears up!

        Fennelle makes a good point. My impression is that agencies are often protective of their GIS data and may fear that wide disclosure will lead to people with nefarious purposes knowing where sites are located. One of the frustrations (also an opportunity) is that through CRM investigations incredibly detailed GPS and GIS databases are often built-up about archaeological sites or regions, but there is no policy in place or architecture for capturing much of that data long-term. For example, my firm often conducts GPS-based archaeological survey such that every artifact collected is associated with a GPS point (for example in a controlled surface collection). But typically, agencies will only want one or a few GPS points for each site (or a shapefile with site boundaries). A lot of these points are also, or could be tagged with information on stratigraphy, soils, slopes, groundcover, or prior distubance. So aside from legacy data storage within your own firms' archives there is no long-term organized effort to preserve the painstakingly collected data. I am sure there are people in SHPO offices and elsewhere who would be interested in a broader-based archaeology GIS (currently state CR GISs work well but data collection/display is somewhat limited).                                               Â
         The possibility is that web-based and accessible formats could be used to store and make available archaeological data without compromising the need to secure certain kinds of data. A collaborator of mine has written an XML data format that could be used to tag archaeological data in ways that could be read by various internet scripts. It is pretty basic right now but it or something like it could make distributed GIS or GPS archaeology on the web more possible! He and I also are collaborating on a webviewer that allows for analysis of spatial archaeological data within any webbrowser (he is the programmer not me!).  Both icon and color-based intuitive analyses (Jacques Bertin's visual variables) as well as results of quantitative analyses are available. I'll post some more information on these ideas if anyone is interested in seeing it.

'Once Upon a Time' fans were shocked when Queen Elsa from 'Frozen' showed up in Storybrooke during the final moments of the show's Season 3 finale. Here's what you should know about Elsa before Season 4 kicks off!
All hail Queen Elsa! The wildly popular character from Disney's Frozen made her debut in the world of Storybrooke on the May 11 season finale of Once Upon a Time. While we won't know exactly what Elsa is up to until the Season 4 premiere, let us introduce you to Once Upon a Time's icy new character!
Queen Elsa In 'Once Upon A Time' — What To Know About The 'Frozen' Character
1. Elsa has superhuman powers.
As seen in the final seconds of the Once Upon a Time finale, Elsa leaves an icy track wherever she goes. Elsa has similar powers in Frozen, and before she learns to control them, they nearly kill her beloved sister, Anna. Elsa has the ability to turn anything to ice and she accidentally forces her hometown of Arendelle into a never-ending winter with her powers! In the film, she constructs a beautiful ice palace for herself and creates a stunning ice gown with just a flick of her wrist. However, her powers can be used for evil. She discovers that potential when she tries to flee from the men who mistake her for a monster and try to capture her.
2. Elsa is not a villain in Frozen.
While Elsa may appear to be a big, bad villain in the Frozen trailers, she's anything but evil. Elsa is actually severely misunderstood. She has to harbor her heartbreaking secret from Anna and from the rest of the world for most of her life, until she is forced to become queen after her parents die at sea and the truth comes out. Elsa then escapes from Arendelle so she can finally be free from society's expectations of her.
3. Elsa's most important relationship is with her sister, Anna.
At the heart of Frozen is the relationship between Elsa and Anna. Elsa constantly protects Anna — whether she's preventing her little sister from getting married too soon or keeping her away from her potentially dangerous powers. Anna has Elsa's back too. Before Prince Hans (Santino Fantana) can kill Elsa, Anna steps in to save Elsa and proves that true love between sisters conquers all.
Side note — does anyone else think that Kristen Bell, who voiced Anna in the Disney flick, should play Elsa on Once Upon a Time? Yes, please!
4. Elsa defies Disney princess stereotypes.
Elsa is the epitome of fierce and she never chases a man. She is perfectly content with ruling Arendelle on her own. When Anna wants to marry Prince Hans after just meeting him, Elsa tells Anna that she can't marry a man she just met. Unlike Cinderella, Ariel and Snow White, Elsa doesn't want or need a man. Elsa is sassy and bold and a totally new kind of Disney heroine!
5. Elsa's story is based on a fairy tale.
Once Upon a Time sure does love its fairy tales and Elsa hails from a classic! The character of Elsa was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, published in 1845. In the tale, the Snow Queen takes a little boy to her ice castle and agrees to release him if he can spell "eternity" with pieces of ice from around her palace. When a kiss from his friend Gerda melts his heart, the two are able to spell "eternity" and leave the ice castle for home.
It's worth noting that in Frozen, Elsa can really sing. Elsa is voiced by the incredible Idina Menzel and sings the powerhouse tune "Let It Go," which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Let's hope we see some of that music on the show!
HollywoodLifers, are you excited to see Elsa on Once Upon A Time? Do you think they should keep her character the same or change it up for the show? Let us know!

I definitely think that they should explore her darker side. Perhaps not to the point of making her a villain. She was in Rumple's vault for a reason, yes. Because her powers are dangerous, enough so to maybe stop Rumple. And back then, locking up anything that might potentially stop him was at the top of his list. If he knew where she was and was contained, she wouldn't be able to be his undoing. Maybe they should explore that angle? But Elsa is a dark character naturally, consumed by fear and stress and misunderstanding. It would be nice to see some of that in the show, but Elsa's not the only one coming to Storybrooke. So is Anna, so no matter what, her sister will still be there for her to hopefully 'thaw her frozen heart', and continue to believe in her when she can't believe in herself, in true Anna fashion. This is what I'm hoping, anyway. WE'LL SEE IN SEASON 4. I was actually bouncing and screaming and just. I cannot even deal, I'm so happy they did this.

Am I the only one who thinks having Elsa on the show is a terrible idea? 1: she's recent, and Elsa is so big nowadays, it's nice to have something that… I don't know… Doesn't have her in it for once? 2: she was in rumple's special place for a reason, if she is to be in it, she's going to be evil, which is obviously already upsetting people (even though I don't see it as a big deal myself) 3: What if Regina somehow uses her to screw Emma over? How much will everyone "love" her then?

I totally agree with keeping her the same. My 4 year old idolizes Elsa I am so worried they are going to make her a villain and break my little girl's heart. I can keep her from seeing stuff on tv but she does searches for Elsa videos on YouTube and listens to the songs as she goes to sleep if something came up in the search showing her being evil she actually would be heart broken. I even have to do an Elsa braid in her hair every day, she made me watch the hair tutorial on you tube. I do think they need to be mindful of children in this. Elsa is the first Disney Princess who truly sets a good example for my daughters about independence, putting family before a man and not needing to go get married to be whole as a woman. I love it and I really think that side of the character should remain. I love having a little girl who proclaims I am not a princess I'm a queen like Elsa. Elsa isn't evil I am crossing my fingers they don't change her so my daughter can continue to enjoy her favourite independent disney woman.

Today, Ambiance Home Decor, Inc. shares with Design Guide some history and background to the intricacies of rug-making:
The term of "Oriental Carpets" refers to carpets made in the East, ranging from Turkey (Anatolia), Caucasus, Iran (Persia), Afghanistan, West Pakistan and some parts of India and China.
Anatolian is the label given to the rugs from Turkey, which used to be called Anatolia. Rugs started to be produced and sold in this area as long ago as the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
The earliest patterns were composed of highly stylish geometrical forms, but in time these gave way to richer, intricate and more imaginative floral designs.
The materials used in these rugs are hand-spun wool with some cotton, and they were made on wooden looms operated by women. These are all double-knotted, which makes the rugs stronger and durable.

"I'm too busy" is never a good excuse to skimp on exciting and delicious food escapades. In this new series, explore the culinary scene of Boston and Cambridge with Jane, your Crimson foodie who may be picky, but will still try anything on the plate at least once (except maybe chicken feet).
You would be immediately censured as shallow if you judged people based on their looks. But when it comes to food, looks matter. Prettier food just tastes better.
One such restaurant that focuses on the quality of presentation as well as the taste is Chez Henri, which offers a dynamic fusion of French and Cuban cuisine. Since it opened its doors in 1994, Chez Henri has received wide acclaim in the culinary world, having won several Best of Boston awards like "Best French Restaurant," "Best First Date Restaurant," and "Best Fusion."
Upon entering the restaurant, my dining partner and I were greeted by a hostess who seated us at a candle-lit table. Other than the dim lighting that made it hard for me to read the menu, the ambiance radiated warmth and comfort.
We were munching on slices of French bread when the waiter brought our entrees. Despite my aversion to cheese, I decided to get the Seared Ricotta & Semolina Dumplings ($24) because I was craving the chewy texture of dough. What surprised me the most about the dish was its stunning presentation. About a cup of gnocchi in the shape of mini marshmallows was placed on the center of a white rectangular plate over a purplish red puree of roasted beet and carrot. A sautéed medley of glazed broccoli, cauliflowers, summer squash, and carrots was served on the side to satisfy one of my daily servings of vegetables. The lightly seared ricotta sprinkled on top added light crispiness to the doughy dumplings.
My friend's entrée, Pan Roasted Long Island Duck Breast ($28), didn't disappoint either. On top of the rhubarb ginger gastrique, or caramelized sugar sauce deglazed with vinegar, laid pre-cut slices of medium rare duck breast that were juicy without being too tough. A bed of citrus salad on the side with poached pear offered a little crunch from the arugula, while the mashed sweet potato found a perfect medium in texture between runny and coarse.
The presentation of food matters, but the food at Chez Henri would have tasted great even if I had been blindfolded.
Located on Shepard Street near the Quad, Chez Henri is open for dinner seven days a week and for Sunday brunch.

...Wild Weather Across the Ozarks...
An early season Winter storm brought an abrupt end to a 8 day long streak of temperatures which were at least 10 degrees above normal for this time of year. From the 22nd of November through the 29th of November, afternoon high temperatures reached the mid 60s to lower 70s each day, some 11 to 22 degrees above normal.
The strong storm system had been developing out in the Rockies for many days prior to shifting east into the plains. Much colder air was bottled up in Alberta, Canada waiting for this storm system to drop into the southern plains to head south. Gulf moisture had been streaming northward into the Missouri Ozarks and southeast Kansas for several days ahead of the storm system. As the front moved into the area on the 29th, showers and thunderstorms developed both ahead and behind the front bringing several inches of rainfall to the area over the course of the 29th and 30th.
As surface temperatures fell below freezing late on the 29th and during the day on the 30th, the rain began falling as
freezing rain
with temperatures above the surface too warm for snow. Temperatures aloft would gradually cool to where precipitation changed over to sleet which became very heavy at times. The sleet and freezing rain actually accumulated some one to three inches before changing over to snow late on the 30th.
As the surface low tracked from the bootheel region of Missouri late on the 30th into western Indiana by the morning of the 1st, much colder air had moved into the region and changed all of the precipitation over to snow. The track of the low allowed for the heaviest snowfall to occur from west central Missouri into central Missouri where between 13 and 17 inches of snow occurred. Lesser amounts occurred further to the south and east where the precipitation was slower to change over to all snow. Embedded thunderstorms allowed for snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour to occur in the heaviest snow bands. When combined with wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph, near zero visibilities were common in the heaviest snow.
Near record to record low temperatures are expected in the wake of the snowstorm, which just goes to show how variable the weather can actually be in the Ozarks. Within the span of 10 days the area has seen record highs, record precipitation, flooding, an ice storm, record snowfall, and now record lows.
Here are some additional links related to the above story...

Jolla, a company created by former Nokia executives and developers of the MeeGo project have announced their flagship phone – the Jolla Mobile. This is an exciting news for all MeeGo fans out there.
The phone is based on Jolla's Sailfish operating system which is based on Mer – the community continuation of the MeeGo project and Nemo mobile. You can download the SDK from https://sailfishos.org/
Just like its predecessor, the Nokia N9, the phone has a beautiful and easy to use UI. What sets it apart are natural gestures, swipes which makes it a complete joy to use it with one hand (N9 users already know how that feels). The OS also features an innovative feature where the user can interact with applications directly from the applications screen without even switching to them. This, again, follows the true and power multitasking that the N9 offered.
Another thing to notice is that a compatibility layer on the device allows the user to even run Android apps on the phone.

Inspirations from The Best Thing I Ever Ate
by Sara Levine in View All Posts, March 12th, 2010Recently I've become obsessed with The Best Thing I Ever Ate—the problem is, this show makes me way too hungry. While I usually just salivate in front of the TV, after watching the "Meat-Fest" episode I got proactive.
When Michael Symon professed his love for the Large Format Feast at Resto in New York City, a lightbulb went off in my head: "That's how I'm celebrating my birthday this year!" At the feast Michael described, the restaurant would procure a whole animal of your choosing and prepare it every which way for a three-course feast.
We called Resto, a cozy little Belgian-influenced restaurant, and they were happy to set up a Large Format Feast for me and my friends with a week's notice. The manager then sent over a list of animals from which to pick our protein. I ultimately settled upon the spring lamb, although goat (Michael's choice) and Berkshire pig were also tempting.
Michael didn't let us down—the LFF was a huge hit with our group of eight. The meal kicked off with lamb kidney skewers strewn with lamb bacon, yogurt and beets (pictured above). Then we moved on to a kale salad with crispy lamb (below) and a platter of lamb sausage and porcini-crusted loin.
The main course featured family-style Thanksgiving-size platters of (you guessed it!) lamb, from ribs to chops to shoulder to loin. Sides of brussels sprouts, mashed spicy sweet potatoes and cauliflower gratin were excellent complements to all that meat.
Some at the table were freaked out by the head, but the adventurous among us dug in to taste the brain (kind of chalky, if you ask me).
It was a wonderful birthday celebration, and I have Iron Chef Michael Symon to thank for the tip. Next up, Butter Lane for cupcakes, per Ted Allen's suggestion!
Have you checked out a FN star-recommended spot in your town? How was it?
For more restaurant tips, check out a new episode of The Best Thing I Ever Ate tonight at 10 pm. You'll hear where Ted, Ina, the Neelys and others go for a "Hot & Spicy" fix.

Such a fabulous post–I will definitely have to set my DVR to pick up The Best Thing I Ever Ate!
Who ever said you shouldn't have fun with your food? This Lamb went down a hero!
What an interesting concept! Thanks for sharing your experience.
It's Sunday at 11:30 am, and while my stomach should still be at 10:30 due nto the daylight savings time spring forward, it's ready for dinner at RResto. As I'm in New Orleans, the next "best" thing is to head to Cochon for their ribs or Boucherie for their brisket.
Hello, i think that i saw you visited my weblog thus i came to "return the favor".I am attempting to find things to enhance my site!I suppose its ok to use some of your ideas!!
I and my buddies came viewing the best tips and hints found on your site and then then came up with a horrible suspicion I had not expressed respect to the web site owner for them. All the young boys had been as a result joyful to study all of them and already have honestly been loving them. Appreciation for truly being really accommodating as well as for using certain smart guides most people are really eager to discover. My personal honest regret for not expressing gratitude to earlier.

2010 Buoncristiani O.P.C.
The Buoncristiani O.P.C. is our Napa Valley proprietary red blend. In the quest to create a wine uniquely ours, we discovered the synergy of marrying Napa Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah, while also folding in further complexity of texture and flavor with Napa Malbec and Merlot blenders. Grapes are sourced from some of Napa's most prestigious vineyards including Hyde, Stagecoach, Hossfeld, Tench and Bennett. Just like our winemaking fathers before us, with "Ol' Pa's Cuvée" we four brothers continue the family tradition of handcrafting blends that help accentuate the enjoyment of life.
To ensure our highest standard of quality, the vineyards are managed by growers who adhere to our strict viticultural philosophy and the wines are crafted with our own hands. The components of O.P.C. were harvested and fermented separately in small batches, then carefully blended in several phases during the second year of barrel aging. This 2010 O.P.C. was aged in French oak barrels for 20 months and bottled in July of 2012.
We, the Buoncristiani brothers, take pride in performing all aspects of enology, viticulture, wine production, marketing, and package design in order to share with you a true expression of our winemaking passion.

Who is My Adviser?
In the College of Business and Innovation, professional academic advisers are not assigned to students alphabetically or by intended major. We have found that students appreciate some input on this decision, so students may self-select which of the COBI advisers to work with. The Office of Student Retention and Academic Success will also make recommendations based on the students' need to match that with the adviser's level of expertise (for example: athletic eligibility, graduation plan of study, transfer credit evaluation). Advisers are cross-trained in a variety of areas so that someone is always available to answer specific questions.
Our office is located in the Savage Business Complex Rm 3130, 419-530-2087. Appointments and walk-in hours are available throughout the year. Students may also email general questions to the staff through firstname.lastname@example.com.

Five-star Addicks stun Posh
Charlton ignited their promotion bid by roaring into second following a 5-1 drubbing of Peterborough.The Posh horror show began after 15 minutes when skipper Grant McCann was caught dithering in the box by Scott Wagstaff.McCann escaped with a yellow card for hauling down the Addicks man but there was no further let-off as Johnnie Jackson scored from the spot.Charlton only had to wait 10 minutes for a second as Therry Racon blasted home from 12 yards and Jackson completed a lightning counter-attack in the 36th minute after a Paul Benson shot had deflected into his path off defender Kelvin Langmead.More Martin magic sealed the points soon after as he cut inside from the left flank and beat shell-shocked Posh keeper Joe Lewis with a fine finish.A triple-substitution at the break did put some fire into Posh bellies and McCann claimed a consolation with a 25-yard free-kick nine minutes into the second period. But their defensive nightmare struck again as on-loan Lewin Nyatanga's under-hit backpass allowed Benson to feed Martin for a simple fifth.

White flight was bad. Gentrification is good. Right?
The two acts of Bruce Norris's Tony Award winning play Clybourne Park at the SpeakEasy Stage Company through March 30, examine how one house in the fictional Clybourne Park neighborhood of Chicago is affected by white flight in 1959 and then gentrification in 2009.
It's a house that should actually be pretty familiar to many. It's the one Lorraine Hansberry's Younger family buys in A Raisin in the Sun.
What Norris does in Clybourne Park is shift our focus, first from the poverty of the Younger's to the earnestness of the white family who sells to them. And then, fifty years later, we shift again to the young white family who has bought the house in a now predominately black neighborhood with plans to tear it down and build a larger one.
Norris is notorious for rejecting "poverty tourism" where affluent white audiences entertain themselves by gawking at the condition of poor black people, favoring instead to shine a light on the neuroses of the self-identifying progressives who are the mainstay of theatre audiences.
In this way we feel the overt racism in the first act (I've heard stories that my grandfather once participated in a plan to buy a house in order to block its sale to a black family) and contrast it with the subtle self-censoring of the second. Karl Lindner's argument for blocking the sale in 1959 is explicitly economic (house values will plummet) and racist (because a black family will live next door). And in the second act, while the jokes are more obscene the arguments are more veiled: what makes the neighborhood desirable is its community.
(Those involved in the reimagining of Salem's Point neighborhood might take from here a valuable semantics lesson: when we talk about "potential" and "progress" do we really mean a future without its current residents?)
There's plenty of mirroring between the two acts, as they share a cast, providing ample opportunity to compare and contrast the generational perspectives.
The skeletal, framework set, too, which doesn't change between acts except for superficial trim work makes it clear that these families share one fundamental story in one house, the only differences are superficial.
After you see Clybourne Park you might want to see even more of that story and take advantage of the programming opportunity being offered by the SpeakEasy's sister company The Huntington which will be staging A Raisin in the Sun through April 7.

This ambitious and innovative volume stretches over time and space, over the history of modernity in relation to antiquity, between East and West, to offer insights into what the author terms the 'geographical unconscious.' She argues that, by tapping into this, we can contribute towards the reinstatement of some kind of morality and justice in today's troubled world. Approaching selected moments from ancient times to the present of Greek cultural and aesthetic geographies on the basis of a wide range of sources, the book examines diachronic spatiotemporal flows, some of which are mainly cultural, others urban or landscape-related, in conjunction with parallel currents of change and key issues of our time in the West more generally, but also in the East.In doing so, The Geographical Unconscious reflects on visual and spatial perceptions through the ages; it re-considers selective affinities plus differences and identifies enduring age-old themes, while stressing the deep ancient wisdom, the disregarded relevance of the aesthetic, and the unity between human senses, nature, and space. The analysis provides new insights towards the spatial complexities of the current age, the idea of Europe, of the East, the West, and their interrelations, as well as the notion of modernity.
Contents: Introduction; Part I Archetypal Spatialities: The space of heroes; Sappho: light and the sacred cosmologies of the human body. Part II Byzantine Participatory Spatialities and Modern Art: Byzantine art, Cubism, Surrealism; Mediterranean fermentations in early modernity: El Greco's Mare Meum. Part III Modernity as Urban Visual Experience: Paris-Patras: modern urban geographies of visual elation. Part IV Cosmopolitan Modernisms and the East: F.L. Wright, D. Pikionis and N. Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas: Japanese space as archetype and unconscious; Frank Lloyd Wright and Japan; Dimitris Pikionis, Nikos Hadjikyriakos-Ghikas and the East. Part V Past-Future Space: Baroque cyberspatialities; In place of conclusions: space and vision: retraining and rebooting; Bibliography; Index.
About the Author: Dr Argyro Loukaki is Associate Professor, Hellenic Open University, and Head of Department of Archaeological Works, 1st Ephorate of Byzantine Antiquities, Greek Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Greece.
Reviews: 'The book you hold is a veritable intellectual tour de force. Precisely at a time when the debate over modernity seems to be over, Argyro Loukaki's book opens up a radically new perspective that questions the very foundations of western-centric understandings of modernity. Her imaginative reworking of the geographical unconsciousness implies the need to take a stance articulated around a new aesthetic critique that breaks with post-modern indifference and embraces the ultra-modern necessity for a new ethics today.'Erik Swyngedouw, Manchester University, UK'An ambitious, eloquent and sensitive excavation of ways of thinking and seeing landscapes, places and spaces over the ages. This is a book to restore faith in the human ability to shape diverse worlds in ways consistent with ancient and modern ideals of justice, beauty and morality.'David Harvey, CUNY Graduate Center, USA'It's a collection of SNAPASHOTS that cuts through geography, art history, philosophy and cultural studies. What makes ME particularly excited is it's art-historical ambitions'. Kostis Kourelis, Franklin & Marshall College'The diversity of geographical expressions explored by Loukaki is really notable. While many of them have already been individually examined, it is the first time that all of them become part of a comparative study. Poetry, Byzantine iconography, painting, urban design and architecture are presented here as communicators of geographical knowledge'. Society and Space

If you are already a guest or a member sign in below.
We set out to prove - or disprove - the theory that brides-to-be pay more. Last year, the number of Australian couples tying the knot hit a 20-year high and in 2008 the average cost for a wedding was $33,349. The wedding industry cops a lot of criticism when it comes to pricing, and when the W-word is mentioned, can you ever be sure you're paying what you should? CHOICE commissioned two shadow shoppers to organise quotes for a wedding and a birthday - both events had the same number of guests and identical requirements. Our shadow shop focused on the following:
We suspected higher quotes for those planning on saying "I do" but some disturbing techniques also emerged in our wedding enquiries. One of the main trends? Our shoppers were often directed to pricey "wedding packages" that include a lot of unnecessary extras, and don't allow for individual requirements. The importance of shopping around is recommended - and don't be afraid to haggle!
Please note: this information was current as of December 2009 but is still a useful guide to today's market.
Receive FREE email updates of our latest tests, consumer news and CHOICE marketing promotions.
Businesses were selected in Melbourne and Sydney to provide a good cross-section of suburbs and demographics. To see if the W-word would make a distinct difference in prices our two shadow shoppers contacted 60 businesses – 30 in each city – and each was contacted twice, once by our bride and once by the birthday girl.
Wedding enquiries were conducted first. Our prospective bride made a phone call to ask about pricing and request a quote. Once this enquiry was completed, the second shopper called the same business with exactly the same request, but claimed the event was a 40th birthday. The second call was made approximately one week after the first call.As suspected - more than half the wedding suppliers approached by our shadow shoppers quoted a higher price for the bride than the birthday girl.
That wedding customers are often far more demanding than other customers - and this is why so many suppliers are inclined to charge extra. John O'Meara, Chairman of the Australia Bridal Industry Association, argues that in some cases charging a price premium is justified. "A wedding is a one-off, and as a result people are often very demanding and very high-maintenance customers. In many cases, a wedding customer is going to expect so much more in terms of quality and service than another customer. Most of the suppliers are small operators and they have to work hard to make the client happy."Wedding celebrant Megan West sees a lot of overstressed brides with sky-high expectations. "Some brides are so stressed about trivial things like place cards that they lose sight of what their wedding is really about. I had one woman who was so obsessed with everything being perfect she actually forgot to write her wedding vows!" With so much money to be spent, it's hardly surprising there's a growing number of wedding suppliers eager for a slice of the action. Glenn Findlay (managing director of Australian Bridal Service) says car hire companies, photographers and make-up artists are typically the most complained-about services, many of whom are start-up amateurs hoping to cash in on couples ready to spend up on their big day.
Our shadow shop shows it doesn't pay to mention the word "wedding" if it really isn't critical. If you're planning a wedding, be clear on what you are willing to spend, don't be afraid to haggle and always be sure to shop around.CHOICE believes that for services such as a DJ and car hire there should be no difference in the quality of the service provided or the cost.For reception venues, cakes, flowers and photographers it depends on your individual requirements and the contract you enter into with the provider. One CHOICE member (see Don't blow the budget) saved a fortune by asking for a catering quote from a venue before disclosing the event was a wedding!Take note! There is no governing body for the wedding industry in Australia, but consumers can take complaints to the Office of Fair Trading in their state or territory.
A venue can gobble up the biggest slice of your wedding budget. Our shadow shop indicates you'll be charged more if you're having a wedding – with one Melbourne venue wanting to charge almost double. Overall, the reception venues had a one-size-fits-all approach - with little tailoring to suit individual needs, and generally costing a lot more. "You do see a lot of people getting pushed into doing the same things; often the wedding options are packaged up and there's not much opportunity to deviate from what's on offer," says Terri Psiakis, author of wedding survival guide Tying the Knot Without Doing Your Block. "People also seem to feel pressured into having what their friends had. As a result, you can go to five different weddings from one circle of friends and they're all the same. It's difficult to remember whose wedding was whose." Beware the additional fee some venues impose to have your wedding ceremony onsite. Some charge an additional flat fee, while others charge per guest. One CHOICE staff member was recently quoted an additional $25 per head for her 70 guests if she wanted to have her ceremony onsite at one venue. When she queried what this extra $1750 covered, she was told it was for 20 chairs, a table, a piece of carpet and an archway.
The photographer can spend hours with the couple before the ceremony and during the nuptials, travelling offsite for more formal shots of the bridal party, and capturing the revelry of the reception. Photographers are usually responsible for any post-production work and developing a wedding album. In order to keep requests identical, the bride shadow shopper told photographers she only wanted photos taken at the reception, as a relative would be capturing the ceremony. Both scenarios required a photographer to take photos at the venue for four hours, with a mix of posed and informal shots to be delivered on a CD. Our shadow shoppers collected some extreme discrepancies from the 10 photographers approached.
As with venues, wedding photography packages were offered with little flexibility and in most cases priced at a minimum of four to five hours. On several occasions, our bride said she didn't feel the staff really listened to her specific requirements. Once again, the one-size-fits-all approach applies once the W-word is mentioned.
It's worth shopping around for any kind of cake - on two occasions the birthday cake quote was 11% more than the wedding cake!Our bride and birthday girl requested a modern style, white chocolate mud cake, decorated with fresh flowers and big enough to feed 80 people. Two of the 10 cakes shops quoted a much higher price for our bride, one quoting 75% more than the same cake for the birthday girl. The cakes ranged from $160-$475 depending on the store, so our advice is not to let on that it's for a wedding and be sure to shop around.
Obviously, a wedding is usually going to have different requirements to a birthday party. So, our bride was instructed to request flowers to decorate the venue only. Our birthday girl was scripted to ask specifically for the same flowers that had been suggested by the florist to the bride. Of the 10 florists, half quoted more for the wedding while the other half quoted more for the birthday – certainly an indication that it's a good idea to shop around if you're looking to order flowers for any kind of event.
Seven out of 10 car hire companies quoted more for the wedding scene. Two Sydney businesses quoted our bride 54% more for the same car and the required hours. And, as with reception venues and photography, car hire had minimum hourly rates. The entertainment request was simple: a DJ to play for four hours, with a selection of tunes that guests of all ages would want to dance to. Our identical request resulted in less than identical quotes. Six of the 10 businesses quoted a higher rate for the wedding, with one quoting 87% more for the wedding.
Chandra Pile, from South Australia, was quoted a price when she booked a hairdresser for herself and her bridesmaids for the morning of her wedding day. On the actual day, however, when the hairdressers had completed their work, Chandra was told she would have to pay what she says was "almost double" the price of the quote. When she asked why, she was told it cost more for the staff to come in to the salon on a Sunday and that she would need to pay cash straight away. Having been put on the spot, she was left with little choice but to pay up. Chandra's advice to anyone planning a wedding is to pay for everything in advance to avoid a similar situation.
Terri Psiakis, comedian and author of wedding survival guide, Tying the Knot Without Doing Your Block, says she was warned many times by friends not to let on she was planning a wedding when shopping around for flowers and cakes, as she'd likely be charged more. To test the theory, Tsiakis called a local florist and asked the cost of a wedding bouquet made with certain flowers. A few weeks later, she called the same florist and asked for an identical bouquet, but this time said it was for a funeral. The price difference was astonishing, with the bridal bouquet costing almost $200 more. "Apparently the bridal bouquet would have the stems wrapped up, but apart from that they were exactly the same. For some reason it seems to be cheaper if you say someone has died."
George Paul called the venue he was interested in to get quotes for his wedding, describing the event as a birthday party. He says organisers were fine with the requests and sent him a quote. Later, when confessing he and his partner planned to marry on the day, he says the staff went into in a flap, claiming a wedding required a different menu because there were "different packages for weddings". When asked why, the response was "that's just the way we do it". When George checked the wedding package, the quote was about 60% more than the original for the same venue, drinks and a slightly different menu. "I told them I only wanted to pay for the birthday package they originally provided. Once they recognised they'd been caught out, they agreed to let me have the wedding there at the price I was originally quoted, no extra cost."
