Today people across the nation (and the blogosphere) are taking part in National Human Trafficking Awareness Day [7], which encourages participants to get educated and get active in the fight to end the suffering of the estimated 27 million living in slavery today.
In his speech declaring January to be National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month [8], President Obama intimated a serious commitment to the fight to end modern slavery. This year, the President and Congress have the opportunity to make historic, bipartisan progress toward this worthy goal.
And it's not just government that's getting involved. Just last week, over 42,000 young Christians banded together at Passion 2012 to raise more than $3.1 million dollars to fund organizations fighting to bring prevention, freedom and restoration to those trapped in slavery.
Sojourners has long been committed to the fight to end this abhorrent evil, and the current issue of Sojourners Magazine [9] seeks to engage the topic head-on.

Passion 2012 Calls Us to Rise Up Against Modern-Day Slavery [25]

Associated Press
SANTA FE — Educators and state workers would see a drop in take-home pay next year under a budget-balancing proposal by a legislative committee that would require public employees to contribute more to their pensions while the state cuts its share by $50 million.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Rep. Gabrielle Giffords remained heavily sedated and in critical condition Sunday as investigators sought to understand what motivated a gunman to carry out an assassination attempt on the Democratic lawmaker in a rampage that killed six people.
University Medical Center spokeswoman Darci Slaten told The Associated Press that Giffords underwent a two-hour surgery Saturday and has not been conscious since the shooting. She said more information will be released at a news conference in which one of the doctors who operated on Giffords plans to speak.
Despite a pair of complaints about its condition and a no-support statement from the state Department of Transportation, the Las Vegas City Council voted Wednesday to annex the city's solid waste transfer station and adjoining rights-of-way.
Megan Martinez was awarded the Christopher Montalvo Sportsmanship Trophy at a recent basketball tournament in Pojoaque Valley's Ben Lujan Gymnasium after the Lady Dons beat Taos 61-46 in the championship game.
The parents of Christopher, who loved and excelled in the game of basketball, sat in the stands each year watching every game of the tournament. They are looking for that special person that best represents their son's passion and love for the game.
As the first week of 2011 ends, most people are back to work. The Polar Bears have had their chill and have thawed out, and most are looking to the New Year with the hope of a better tomorrow.
As the Optic found, Paul D. Henry and Union elementary students join the world in their hopes and dreams for a better future and a better world.
Paul D. Henry fifth-grader R.J. Ortiz thinks the world would be a better place if only the lunch menu would get better.
With the West and East school board elections less than a month away — and early voting around the corner — members of the Community Committee for Better Schools met Monday to prepare for candidate forums in hopes of having a positive impact.
But that's not all the committee wants to do.
When polar bears jump into freezing waters they're wearing a thick, white fur coat. When humans do it, Why? is not an unreasonable question.
Many skip the question and just call the extreme sport crazy and bizarre, especially in light of temperatures in the teens. But the "Bears" call it invigorating and a great way to begin the new year.
ALBUQUERQUE — Beatrice Vigil of Mora won $50,000 playing the New Mexico Lottery's "Holiday Chile Tree" Scratcher.
"I'm overwhelmed," Vigil said. "I still can't believe I won."
Vigil bought her lucky $5 ticket on Dec. 20 while waiting for her sister-in-law to buy milk. After finding the prize, the winner drove home to show the ticket to her husband, Sam Martinez, who was sick in bed.
Two Las Vegas men allegedly used rocks and pieces of firewood to attack a couple of other men after trespassing onto their property on Dec. 20, police say.
Martin Gutierrez, 46, of 907 Don Fidel, and Estevan Gutierrez, 23, of 1112 Montezuma Ave., each face charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated use of a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, criminal damage to property and criminal trespassing in connection to the Dec. 20 incident. The elder Gutierrez also faces one charge of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm.
SANTA FE — Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, making history as the nation's first female Hispanic governor, called Saturday for New Mexicans to unite to solve economic, budget and educational problems confronting the state.
Martinez sounded a bipartisan tone during her public inaugural ceremony on the historic Santa Fe Plaza.

1839 Gobrecht Dollar, PR64, Judd-1041839 P$1 Name Omitted, Judd-104 Restrike, Pollock-116, R.3, PR64 NGC. Silver. Reeded Edge. Die Alignment III (head of Liberty opposite the N in ONE after a coin turn). This is a very early reverse die state. Strong magnification shows a microscopic crack at the top of UNITE and no die spur on the upper right part of the D in UNITED. Apparently only one reverse die was used on all Starless Reverse dollars from Judd-104 through 107. It is found in varying states, from uncracked (obvious 1839 originals) to extensively cracked restrikes that are believed to date to the 1859-1885 era. Die Alignment III dollars are identified as later restrikes. Yet this must have been one of the first Die Alignment III coins struck, as seen from the single microscopic die crack. Die Alignment III restrikes are much rarer than their DA IV counterparts with only 18-20 pieces estimated known.

Scarce Die Alignment III
Toned and Deeply Mirrored
Scarce Die Alignment III
The always-quotable Yogi Berra said: "You can observe a lot by just watching." The same can be said for Gobrecht dollars. Two years ago John Dannreuther was at lot viewing and noticed something that had passed unnoticed for 170 years: The base on which C. GOBRECHT F. had been engraved on the 1836 dollars had been effaced on an 1839 dollar, removing almost (but not quite all) of the engraver's name. The 1838 dollars showed more thorough removal. Yet all three dates are from the same master die. The removal of Gobrecht's name from the base of his famous dollar is reinforced by George Escol Sellers in the book Early Engineering Reminiscences (1815-1840). Sellers was related to the Peale family and Franklin Peale was his uncle, placing Sellers in a position to know some of the inner workings of the Mint during this period. He wrote that Gobrecht, "had taken the inexcusable liberty of placing his name on the die, which became conspicuous on the coin, and the coinage had to be stopped until it could be obliterated." Another interesting observation that has been unknown until recently is the 1839 dollars have a 9 that was created by inverting the 6 number punch from 1836. Both dates display a tiny spine that connects the ball to the circle. This same punch was also used on the 1836 Name Below Base strikings.
As one would expect from a later restriking period, most Die Alignment III 1839 dollars are found in high grades. This coin is especially well-preserved. The fields are deeply reflective and the mirroring from the proof finish is abundantly evident through the deep, mottled blue and golden toning that covers each side. Close examination reveals a few light hairlines, but these are consistent with the grade and in no way impair the appeal of this high grade dollar. The striking details are strong throughout. There are no obvious contact marks, but again a magnifier will show a string of three tiny marks in the field below the ES of STATES. (PCGS# 11446)

I did not like that they charge me an additional charge for wanting a room with a bath (I know! with this cold weather in Quebec should be mandatory to have a bath!!), so I paid for an upgrade and the room was not as executive, not much change that the normal even w upgrade.
My advice : If you are going to pay 200 for a nice hotel u might as well pay 280-300 for a bigger nicer room
My negatives:
- Room size doesn't really change much even with upgrade
- SErvice could be better - I luv when staff want to please the costumer and make all necessary to make sure you get the best possible.
- a bit disappointed to be one of the luxury hotels in MTL

Let me say this first, Kristen Stewart is a very serious actress and artist who works daily to perfect her craft and enhance the level of her performance, and to take a few topless stills of her from her latest movie, On The Road and act is if it's some representation of her overall merit or work as a thespian is incredibly rude.
Let me also say, we here at Egotastic! have a penchant for being rude!
Okay, so, it is blurry and brief and hardly complete, but it is really one of the few rare moments when a promised Kristen Stewart 'skinematic' moment turns out to be true. And, to boot, if you WATCH THE FILM CLIP (*viewer warning, adult site), you will see that she is most definitely putting her heart and soul into the performance of a double handy for her two male auto-companions. Oh, perhaps just a bit of movie stage craft, but enough to fuel your Kristen Stewart fantasies for some time to come. As it were. Enjoy.

Why is OpenTable going public this week while most other internet companies are struggling to survive? A look through its prospectus shows how much mileage the restaurant-reservations site has gotten from having an e-commerce revenue stream at a time when the advertising market is being crushed.
–Stable, Recurring Revenue: OpenTable gets more than half of its revenue from software that restaurants pay for that allows diners to make reservations online. OpenTable's number of restaurant partners increased to 10,645 in the first quarter 2009 from 8,404 in 2008, indicating subscriptions are growing. (There was no information on whether the average subscription price increased or decreased over the past year; the company didn't respond to requests for comment.)
Subscription revenue (especially business-to-business, not consumer based) tends to be more stable than advertising revenue because it is typically part of longer-term contracts. While OpenTable lets restaurants cancel their subscriptions, many tend to give a subscription product some time before pulling the plug; ad budgets, by contrast, can fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter or even week-to-week for many small local advertisers.
–Improving Margins. Operating income margins improved to 5 percent during the first quarter of 2009, up from 1 percent during the first quarter of the year earlier — all while the company increased its headcount to 300 employees from 248.
Update: According to an SEC filing, the price range for the IPO is being increased to $16 to $18 per share from $12 to $14, which would net the company about $6 million more in proceeds.

An impressive dinner party seafood pasta dish.
Lower the spaghetti into a pan of boiling, salted water, stir once, then cook for 5 minutes until al dente or according to packet instructions.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan, with a tight fitting lid. Add the chorizo and fry for a couple of minutes until it has begun to release its oil and has gone crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving as much of the chorizo oil in the pan as possible, then drain on kitchen paper.
Add the garlic to the pan with the chilli flakes and cook for about 20 seconds, stirring. Add the sherry and allow the alcohol to burn off before adding the passata. Cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly reduced and thickened.
Next add the clams to the pan. Stir well before putting on a tight fitting lid. Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes until all the clams are open.
When the pasta is cooked, drain, rinse briefly and add to the tomato mixture (you may need to add a little of the pasta water if the pasta is a little dry). Next stir in most of the crispy chorizo, reserving some for garnish. Add the rocket then fold everything together until well combined. Divide among warmed wide rimmed bowls and garnish with the reserved crispy chorizo.
» Metric Converter
Merlot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the best wines to pair with Spaghettini with crispy chorizo, clams and chilli.

- Studio: Media Partners
- Release Date: Feb 14, 2003
- Summary: A love triangle emerges between two young Indian men and an Indian woman living in New York City.
- Director: Dev Anand
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 5
Mixed: 1 out of 5
Negative: 3 out of 5
For those looking for a vacation from the irony and the cruelty that have invaded so much of American popular culture, this scruffy little Indian film is a delightful getaway.
Anand manages to work in shamelessly exploitative September 11 footage between numbers, but aside from this sequence, Love couldn't be more giddily benign.
This blithe inattention to authenticity is perversely endearing, and the whole (overlong) shebang is so jolly and well-intentioned, that it's kind of fun. It's just not very good film-making.
Dev Anand's unintentionally hilarious Bollywood romance would be considered terrible by any artistic standard, but it serves as proof that sometimes the worst films make for the most fun.

Kabul: Afghan officials have reprimanded British diplomats over a campaign by U.K. troops in Helmand telling farmers that growing poppies was understandable and acceptable.
A radio message broadcast across the province assured local farmers that the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) would not interfere with poppy fields currently being harvested.
``Respected people of Helmand. The soldiers of ISAF and ANA do not destroy poppy fields,'' it said.
``They know that many people of Afghanistan have no choice but to grow poppy. ISAF and the ANA do not want to stop people from earning their livelihoods.''
The advertisement, which was drafted by British officers and carried on two local stations, infuriated Afghan officials as high up as President Hamid Karzai, who demanded an explanation.
After a series of stormy meetings NATO announced that it was dropping the ads. ``We recognised this was a mistake and addressed it as soon as possible,'' said spokesman Nicholas Lunt.

City may increase tax, water rate
Extra money earmarked for specific projects
Wichita Falls city councilors got a glimpse of the fiscal year 2013 budget Tuesday — one that included a recommended property tax and water rate increase.
The city will host public hearings at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 4 and 11 for discussion on this year's budget proposal.
Jim Dockery, assistant city manager and chief financial officer, recommended a 1-cent per $100 of assessed value property tax increase to 0.63526 to generate $460,000 in revenue to support three new initiatives: a city mowing crew responsible for maintaining state right-of-ways in the city limits, increased code enforcement efforts that include three new employees, and the new Municipal Airport terminal. That means a property owner with assessed value of $100,000 would pay an additional $10 in taxes.
"We haven't had large tax rates over the last six to seven years despite a low tax base," Dockery told the council. The property tax rate in 2006 was just below 60 cents and has seen only marginal increases since then.
District 4 Councilor Tim Ingle, the lone dissenter when the council voted on the tax increase recommendation, said that he's not confident about the future of the economy and that he doesn't want to see the city "get in a pinch" during tough economic times.
"There are a lot of good things and a lot of good ideas," he said, "but we're just not getting the revenue."
The CFO also recommended a retail water and sewage rate increase of 4 percent to return line repairs to previous levels; address step increases, cost-of-living adjustments and health insurance costs for the department's employees; return money to the general fund for payments-in-lieu of franchise fees; replace software and hardware for the Utility Billing System; and purchase chemicals to conduct testing for E-coli, a requirement of the Environmental Protection Agency and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
The overall budget estimated revenues at about $154.8 million, a 1.52-percent increase over fiscal year 2012. Expenditures will also increase 3.10 percent to $158.6 million, Dockery said, which creates a deficit for the upcoming year of $3.808 million.
The overall deficit comes from special, one-time expenditures that are made available through a satisfactory reserve fund level of about $15 million. Dockery explained that the city maintains a reserve fund that is 20 percent of the general fund for a variety of reasons.
"Our reserve levels are satisfactory to where we can purchase things for one-time expenditures," he said. "We make a practice of not using our reserves for ongoing operational costs."
Those one-time costs include road signs, the downtown travel center, equipment for right-of-way mowing, relocation of Parks and Recreation maintenance to the old Army Reserve building off Seymour Highway, a new animal control truck and wrap, hotel/motel tax audit, police imaging system upgrade, Code of Ordinances recodification, library system upgrades, building and health inspection automation and a utility vehicle for Parks and Recreation trails.
In other council discussions:
■ Councilors unanimously approved an ordinance that would change speed limits in various areas in the city. The proposed changes came after study that indicated an increase was allowed including some in school zones, which drew the ire of some councilors. Another councilor was concerned more studies in the future could continue to push the speed limits higher and higher.
"Rarely does that happen," explained John Burrus, director of aviation, traffic and transportation. "It can, I'm not saying it won't."
■ The council selected Matrix Design Group as consultants on a Regional Sheppard Air Force Base Joint Land Use Study. The purpose is to look at development around the base and how encroachment issues could affect Sheppard's current or future missions.
■ Director of Public Works Russell Schreiber said the department is working to get permission to begin work on a waste water reuse project that would result in a gain of 10 million gallons a day to the city, which equates to about 30 percent of average daily demand.
"We understand that reuse of water is a viable resource the city should utilize," he said.
Schreiber said his department is working closely with TCEQ to get proper approval to begin the project.

Saskia Marie was born on March 14 :)
Her birth was a real wonderful surprise. She is our first baby and was born into daddy's arms 20 minutes before midwives arrived.
We planned a home birth. I mentioned to my midwife and her apprentice that quite a few mama's babies on this board were born faster than their midwives could arrive. The midwife said those mamas must've had multiple babies, and anyway it's rare. If that happened than she would walk papa through delivery. She said "Basically, don't touch the cord and keep baby warm."
I think my body was warming up for labor for almost a week. My water broke around 1 am, and the waves came on strong right away. We called the doula and asked her to come over. She didn't.
Minor discomforts became intensely irritating. Darling did everything to make me comfortable, but one rice sock burned in the microwave and the house stank of burnt popcorn. I lost one slipper and the cold hardwood floor felt awful. The room was felt suffocatingly hot and stuffy. We cracked the window, and it became too cold. We had to figure a way to deal with it, because the doula wasn't coming until l needed her for real. This doula was our hypnobirthing teacher, and I didn't practice any of her lessons and thought "okay, well this is embarrassing. I am being a total wimp and have no one to blame but myself for skipping practice." I better get it together, cuz it'll get way more intense and last a long time, and so I better learn to deal with this early part real well before I call her again.
I put on a diaper so I could do what I needed without inhibitions. (BTW - diapers are the best advice ever from that home-birth tips thread. Thank you all who suggested it!) We brought in the birth ball, and a little bottle of my favorite nostalgic pine essential oil. I tried to remember active birth labor positions that open you up faster. So I either sat on the ball, or on all fours in bed and squealed and tensed up through the waves. Jason reminded me how to breathe, and tried to guide me to meditate/relax. His lessons got me real high on oxygen and relaxed between rushes, but during rushes I would stop breathing and just squeal and tense up in whatever ways felt most comfortable. Between rushes I would breathe, or we talked, or kissed. It was a good time.
After abour 4-4.5 hours of this, I felt I needed to use the toilet and rinse myself off to freshen up. I got on the toilet and felt a rubbery sack, which I couldn't believe was the baby. I thought it was some other part of labor that I hadn't heard about. Jason called the midwife and told her that the baby was coming. Still in disbelief, I got in the shower to rinse myself and felt the urge to push. I got out of the bath tub and Jason received the babe. His doula friend and I had both asked him to be ready to receive the babe, just in case, so he had watched a few videos. That's the only birth homework he'd done. We hired a doula, so he didn't do his birth partner homework at all, except coming to hypnobirthing class.
Babe was born painlessly even though I'm 5'3, she's 9.5 pounds. Maybe the adrenaline blocked the pain. I felt some stretching, nothing intense.
The midwife got on the phone immediately after Saskia was born. Saskia wimpered but didn't cry, so the midwife instructed us to keep her warm and put her head below her bum, to let fluid drain. Saskia did get pretty chilled because she was born in our cool bathroom, and stayed there with me for 20 minutes without a heating pad til the midwives arrived. Took her about 2 hours to warm up tp 98F.
Saskia turned 2 weeks old on Friday. She is the sweetest, peaceful little girl. Today we sat on the porch and listened to the rain. Now she is asleep beside her daddy, who is in love with her. She's a real blessing. Now I see why we get presents on our birthday - because our birthday was a present to those who love us :)
Thank you for sharing your beautiful, peaceful story. Just how birth is meant to be!
Many warm wishes to your family.
Welcome Saskia Marie :)
congrats!! sounds wonderful!

NFL Moms Shine in Campbell's Chunky Soup TV Commercials; Real Mamas Featured in National Campaign with New Lineup of 'Mama's Boys'.
Each pair of NFL moms and sons are featured in television and radio commercials that will air through February 2003. The line-up finds Philadelphia Eagles' all-pro quarterback Donovan McNabb returning to the 2002 soup-season campaign, joined by his mother Wilma in a spot entitled "Scrap Yard." New to this year' s "Mama's Boys" campaign are Pittsburgh Steeler Jerome Bettis and Gladys Bettis in "Bowling," New York Giant Michael Strahan and Louise Strahan in "Subway," and Chicago Bear Brian Urlacher and his mother Lavoyda Leonard in "Kindergarten."
Campbell's "Mama's Boys" campaign has worked in tandem with the company's sponsorship of the National Football League to help solidify the strong Chunky soup positioning that has helped fuel the brand's double-digit sales growth. The addition of the players' real-life moms is part of a creative shift to reach out to a broader audience. While this year's commercials feature the lighthearted humor of past campaigns, each player and mom teams up to bring the trademark Chunky soup "It fills you up right" message to members of the community at large.
The commercial locations are varied to take Chunky soup from the football field to the "real world." In past campaigns, actresses have portrayed the mothers and featured the moms 'filling their sons up right.' But this year the pairs will be taking Chunky Soup to the community.
"The Campbell's Chunky soup campaign has always had fun with the interplay between the best personalities in the NFL and their mothers' outrageous efforts to keep their boys eating right," said Jeremy Fingerman, Vice President - U.S. Soup. "This year' s 'Mama's Boys' campaign will truly bring this nurturing and caring relationship to life, and take the comedic effort to the community at large."
The campaign reinforces Campbell's relationship with the NFL and highlights the breadth and quality of the Chunky Soup line. The total marketing effort will be the largest in the history of the Chunky brand, with a media buy of more than $25 MM that will be spread out through a variety of daytime, primetime and late night network and cable programs, as well as sports programming. The campaign will be complemented by a mobile marketing tour and a nationwide hunger relief and donation program.
With 12 Pro-Bowl appearances among them, the 2002 Chunky soup "Mama's Boys" line up reads like an all-star roster of established and up-and-coming players. On offense, McNabb continued to dominate during his third NFL season, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to the NFC championship game in 2002, and perennial Pittsburgh great Bettis rushed for his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season. On the defensive side, Strahan and Urlacher both sacked their competition last season, with Strahan breaking the 17-year-old, single-season record for sacks with 22-1/2, and Urlacher, on his way to his second Pro-Bowl, provided the leadership that put the "monster" back in Chicago's defense.
'Mama's Boys' are selected based on their on-field performances, off- field personalities and personification of the Chunky soup brand -- a bigger- than-life, hard-working guy who is always looking out for others," added Fingerman.
Campbell's Chunky/NFL Tackling Hunger program generated a donation of more than 6 million cans of Campbell's soup for food banks across the country last season alone, and more than 26 million pounds of food since 1997. The Tackling Hunger mobile tour will show fans learn how they can help fight hunger in America and will provide product sampling and interactive games at NFL events and other venues throughout the season. In addition, fans can do their part to help tackle hunger by visiting http://www.chunky.com/ to locate an America's Second Harvest affiliate in their area.
Campbell's Chunky soup brand has doubled in sales since 1997 and will follow its successful game plan in the 2002 soup season with increased investments in marketing and product improvement. Four of Campbell's Chunky chicken varieties will have more chicken than before and Campbell also is introducing a new line of Chunky "Roasted Favorites" soups in October, including: Slow Roasted Beef with Mushrooms, Herb Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Garlic, and Honey Roasted Ham with Potatoes. All Campbell's Chunky soup varieties are packaged in easy-open, pop-top cans.
Creative for the campaign is handled by Eric Glickman and Stephen Hersh and produced by Robin Dobson at Young & Rubicam, New York.

The 32-YEAR Cycle in

Five new photoelectrically
times minima of Algol are reported, JD (hel.) 2443909.6538 , 2444167.7182,
2444236.5321, 2444560.5340, and 2444623.6180. The ephermis of Friesboes-Conde,
Herczeg, and Hog (2434705.5493 + 2.86732442Ed) is still a good predictor if a
correction term with 32-year periodicity is added.
Apsidal motion is
eliminated as the cause for the 32-year periodicity in the times of primary
minimum because times of secondary minimum derived from obsrvations in the
literature do not fit that model, the deviation being at least 6 sigma.
Likewise the 32-year effect appears to be unrelated to asymmetry in the light
curve, at more than a 3 sigma confidence level.

Gino's East
Gino's East is a Chicago-based restaurant chain, notable for its deep-dish pizza (sometimes called Chicago-style pizza), and for its interior walls, which patrons have covered in graffiti and etchings. The restaurant features deep-dish pizza baked in cast-iron pans, as well as sandwiches, soups and salads.
The original Gino's East was opened in 1966 by two taxi drivers, Sam Levine and Fred Bartoli, and a friend, George Loverde. The deep dish pizza is cooked with the cheese on the bottom, then the toppings and then the sauce. The original location of the restaurant was at 160 East Superior Street, just east of Michigan Avenue, in the Streeterville district of Chicago.
The company subsequently opened other locations in the Chicago Metropolitan Area, including Naperville, Rolling Meadows, Lake Zurich, Deerfield, Oak Lawn, and Highland, Indiana. The Oak Lawn location closed in 2008. The Naperville location closed in late 2010. Additionally, Gino's East operates a mail-order business, where patrons can order frozen pizzas and have them shipped overnight. The company opened its first restaurant located outside the Chicago area in Granger, Indiana, but closed it in 2012. And since 2007, Lake Geneva, WI.[1]
The restaurant eventually moved from its Superior Street location into another space at 633 North Wells Street (in the former Chicago location of Planet Hollywood). The tradition of writing on the walls, however, remains the same in the new location. The original location on Superior Street reopened in 2007. In 2014, the River North location moved just south of 633 N. Wells to 500 N. LaSalle Street, a building previously occupied by nightclub Lasalle Power Co.
In 2014 the company announced expansion into Texas (ATX Brands acquired franchising rights to operate the chain outside the State of Illinois), with the first location outside of Chicago to be located in The Woodlands with a November 2014 opening, followed by a January 2015 opening in Willowbrook, Houston. A San Antonio location is expected to open sometime within the first quarter of 2015, followed by an anticipated May opening in Downtown Austin. The locations in Texas (Houston, San Antonio) are former Bikinis Sports Bar and Grill locations which were company-owned by ATX Brands. While there are plans to expand into the DFW area, an opening date and location has yet to be announced. [2]

Sometimes a little distance from something can give you a completely different slant on it. There's a whole lot of distance now, between my 60-year-old self and the summer of 1962.
That was the summer I played drums with The Ventures. Lee Edward Sonny Smith was my next-door neighbor in Memphis, Tenn. Sonny had gotten himself into the classic quandary of so many youngsters back in those days—he had secretly enrolled in the Columbia Record Club.
Crickets chirping. That's a favorite Internet phrase that's usually meant to point out a pause or a lack of response to something that was said during an internet conversation. Like for instance if a commenter said: "Anyone out there sorry to see this splendid summer coming to an end?" Then no one responds and someone says, "Crickets chirping."
When the temperatures get above 100 week after week, when walking the dog makes me realize it's going to be another 2-shower day, when I can pick fried green tomatoes right off the vine, already fried and I find myself smack dab in the middle of another blistering Kansas summer, I like to kick back and enjoy the silence.
When I got out of bed this morning, our dog Lucy did her usual dance of jubilation. Her front paws shot up in the air repeatedly, making a mockery of gravity, and she wiggled all over, enthusiastic at the sight of my awakening—sighing and huffing, then pouncing about and just making a general spectacle of herself.
All the talk lately about the Rapture that didn't happen has put me in the mood to remember a rapture that I used to experience repeatedly: The last day of school before summer break. I remember how delicious that day was. Going to school on that day was a hollow formality. Mostly, we just picked up our report cards, fidgeted our sticky legs in our wooden desks for a few moments, and popped out of that school like tightly wound little springs—all joy and expectation.

Jfood Returns to Libertine - Somewhat disappointing after Fantastic First Visit
Does not sound too bad other than the Tuna.

Jfood visits Vincent A Restaurant - Not to his liking
Jfood, I concur on the Cassoulet, it is very good at Vincent. I have never liked the Vincent burger as much as some. You should go to the Parlor Bar (below Burrough), it is supposed to have an amazing Burger.

Discovering Tequila & I Like It!
My go to for sipping is Patron Anejo. For less expensive, I really like Milagro Silver for mixed drinks.
Question for the Board: Should we stop talking about Old and New World wine?
What 2010 Brunello and Barolo offerings have you been acquiring???
Some of mine are:
2010 Cavallotto Barolo Bricco Boschis Nebbiolo
2010 Canalicchio di Sopra Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
2010 San Filippo Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
2010 G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe Nebbiolo
2010 Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga d'Alba Nebbiolo
2010 Paolo Scavino Barolo Carobric Nebbiolo
Super Bowl Cocktail??? What is everyone drinking??
I am thinking of pulling out the Margaritaville for this one. I really like using the Kah Reposado "El Diablo" 110 Proof.
Wine Pairing with Lobster Bisque?
Sherry is an amazing match. The Capital Grill pours some Sherry over the top of the actual soup when they serve it.
Which Gin did you prefer?
Pork belly... Restaurant which has it on the menu?
Matsu - Pork Belly Ramen is very tasty.
Jan 06, 2015Latinpig in Minneapolis-St. Paul
What is everyone having for New Years?
I am thinking Gin Martinis.
Spoon and Stable - Anyone been?
I just ate their on Sat. I loved the decor and the service was amazing but I have to agree with Drew13000, the food was good but not great. First, looking at the menu, I think the chef did not take enough risks. Pot Roast can only be so good. It is something I can get at Lurcat and it it is just as good. Mine was a little over cooked on one end. The pastas too were not breaking any new ground. The goat parpadelle was good but not spectacular. Something you can get at Bar Lagrassa and does not approach the amazing level Heidi's 2.0 was at. The clams bucatini was very fishy tasting. The bison tartar did stand out as an excellent dish(with a nice spciy kick) in the aps and my wife loved the pumpkin soup. The risotto was also excellent. The pork was a touch dry for my taste.
In the end, I will go back but I felt a little let down. The chef is trying to do comfort food while I was hoping for a little more edge. We do not get many people in this town with his experience. I was hoping he would spread his wings a little more.

The Stagg Jr may be a good option. It is a little easier to find than the Antique Collection and is more reasonable. It is not a Rye like the Handy but a really well made Bourbon. If he likes Rye, High-West has some really fun Rye offerings you should look at.
When I was a kid, there used to be a pre-mixed Brass Monkey cocktail made by Heublein. When it was no longer bottled, I usued to have a recipe for a Brass Monkey which involved dark rum. For a long time I used a bottle of Bacardi Dark rum which they no longer make. Does anyone know of a comparable Dark Rum? Also, does anyone have a good Brass Monkey recipe. More nostalgia than anything else.
Has anyone compared the St. Paul location with the West End?
Dec 01, 2014Latinpig in Minneapolis-St. Paul
Snagged some hard to find Bourbons to try
Back in the day when Pappy use to sit on the shelve for months, I use to really like the 13 Year old Rye
Snagged some hard to find Bourbons to try
I agree on the Pappy. I know people go crazy for it but I really love the Antique Collection the most. Yes, I got this years Old Forester. I am trying to source some of the Makers Mark.
I ate their Sat night. The food was actually really good but they lose points for their wine service. The wine glasses are those horrible thick libbey gasses. No decanter. They gave us a water pitcher and a mixing bowl full of ice to chill the wine in lieu of an ice bucket. It was comical. The food was worth it though. Had the two chicken dishes and both were really good (I never order chicken at a restaurant #Bourdain).
We also had a steak ( ONGLET) and the lamb ribs which were both really tasty. A true highlight was the BONE MARROW TOAST

Has anyone done this? I got a kit from a kickstarter a while back and just made my first batch. I used there citrus base and then added dried cherries. I will taste it this weekend and follow up. It is really easy to do. You probably don't need a kit at all.
High West A Midwinter Nights Dram
Yes. It is very rich and you don't need a lot to sip and enjoy.
High West A Midwinter Nights Dram
Great holiday Rye. Please read my notes and like!!
For those looking for a nice cross-over bourbon (from Scotch), check out the bellow tasting note. Please follow me also. Thanks!!!!!!!
Snagged some hard to find Bourbons to try
I had been calling a local retailer every week when they get their shipment. I finally struck gold. I snagged a 12 Year Old Pappy, an Old Forester Birthday Bourbon and a Hi West - A Midwinter Nights Dram - French oak and port barrels. I will probably sit on the Pappy (until the bubble bursts) and try the other two. Has anyone had either?
They do have sugar free Ginger beer but it is not all that great.
Scotch gift for a picky friend?
You may consider this as well.
Scotch gift for a picky friend?

27.09.04 - One of the most promising prospects in boxing, unbeaten cruiserweight Matt Godfrey (4-0, 2 KOs), plans on making a loud statement October 1 in Bayside Brawl at the Bayside Expo Center in South Boston. Former world title contender Sucra Ray Oliveira (46-9-2, 22 KOs) and Hicklet Lau (19-11-2, 9 KOs), fighting in the 12-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Union World welterweight title, headline Bayside Brawl, promoted by Jimmy Burchfields Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc. (CES), in association with Mohegan Sun and New England Ringside. CES has signed an exclusive deal to promote boxing shows at the Bayside Expo Center.
We believe Matt Godfrey has all of the tools to be a world champion someday, Burchfield said. Most of his amateur fights were in Massachusetts and Matt has a large following all over New England. If all goes well Oct. 1, hell be in his first six-rounder October 29 at Foxwoods. Hes going to start cleaning-up New Englands cruiserweight division and be champion by the end of next year.
Godfrey, born and raised in Providence, is matched Oct. 1 against Andrew Came To Fight Hutchinson, of New York City. Last year, Godfrey was the silver medal winning heavyweight in the four major United States amateur championships National Golden Gloves, PAL (Police Athletic League), U.S. Championships and U.S. Challenge. The 23-year-olds amateur career started 11 years ago and he amassed an outstanding 194-23 record, including four National titles in the open division and two in the Junior Olympics, before turning pro months ago. Matt captured a bronze medal as a 178-pounder in the 2001 Pan-American Games and was second alternate for the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team.
I want to stay busy, the former six-time New England Golden Gloves winner discussed his short and long ranged plans. Id like to get 10 quick wins and be fighting in my first 10-round co-feature by next spring or summer. In the long run I want to be a USBA or NABF champion in two to three years and win a major world title in 2007-2008. Eventually Ill be fighting as a 225-pound heavyweight, still able to take advantage of my hand and foot quickness.
NABF No. 2 rated Oliveira, former IBU world welterweight champion and two-time ex-NABF super lightweight champion, fights out of New Bedford (MA). He holds the only win against WBA junior light welterweight champion Vicious Vivian Harris, as well as victories against former world title-holders Charles Murray (twice) and Vince Phillips.
Cuban-born Lau, now fighting out of Miami, has fought the likes of top-ranked junior welterweights and welterweights Kermit Cintron, Cosme Rivera, Rafael Ruelas, Ben Tackie and Daniel Attah.
Narragansetts (RI) former world light welterweight champion Jaime The Hurricane Clampitt (13-3, 5 KOs), coming off one of the best female fights of all-time against Jane Couch, is fighting WIBF No. 8 rated Tiger Lady Brenda Bell Drexel, of Texas, in a six-rounder.
Two South Boston fighters in six-round matches are super welterweight Martin The Irish Assassin Thornton (8-1-1, 3 KOs), originally from Galway, Ireland versus Khalif Shabazz, of Bellows Falls (VT), and Massachusetts light welterweight title-holder Cocky Kevin Watts (18-6, 7 KOs).
Also scheduled on the undercard is unbeaten Peabody light heavyweight Wayne Lights Out Johnsen (4-0, 3 KOs) against Jerald Lowe, of Atlanta; South Boston super middleweight Joe Sugar Rea (1-0, 1 KO, 1 NC), originally from Northern Ireland and Philadelphia welterweight Phillip McCants (0-0-1) in separate bouts vs. TBA. (All bouts and fighters are subject to change.)

This gallery is a disapointment to me. I expected to see some medium to high ISO shots because, when the light level drops and no VR, you'll have to resort to higher ISOs even with a 28mm lens...
I thought this camera might bea good camera when traveling light but then I ran across the samples that Fuji has posted. To me they aren't that great, especially for a $1000USD camera:

Dent meets NY club at LLWS; Canada gets wild win
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. At face value, Bucky Dent draws few looks from the young ballplayers. He's 57, and it's been 25 years since he was in the majors.
That shiny World Series ring on his finger sure might make Little Leaguers take notice, though.
Dent stopped by another world series on Tuesday, meeting with teams from Warner Robins, Ga., and Staten Island, N.Y., that are getting ready for the Little League U.S. semifinals later this week.
The New Yorkers will play the winner of the game later Tuesday between Chula Vista, Calif., and San Antonio, Texas.
Dent runs a baseball school in Delray Beach, Fla., and said he stresses that kids play hard and respectfully on the field. Many of the youngsters he meets may know his name, and that Dent played for the New York Yankees, but certainly never saw him play.
That ring always is a topic of discussion.
"Absolutely," the MVP of the 1978 Series said. "That's one thing, I always wear my ring because it's a good conversation piece to lead into a (talk) about what you're supposed to do, and if you want to get there, this is what you have to do."
Famous for his home run that beat Boston in a playoff for the 1978 AL East title, Dent later threw out the first pitch before Tuesday's first game, with Dhahran, Saudi Arabia beating Maracaibo, Venezuela 5-3. He didn't deliver on his pregame promise to throw a strike, hitting catcher Braden Barnett high and outside.
Otherwise, Tuesday served as an anticlimactic end to the pool-play round. All the teams playing had either already been eliminated, or already advanced.
The two games that did have consequences – Texas vs. California, and Reynosa, Mexico vs. Taoyuan, Taiwan, were for seeding.
Dent was asked during a news conference about comments made by baseball Hall of Famer Jim Rice earlier in the series critical of today's major leaguers. Rice had said today's players, specifically naming Manny Ramirez, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter, didn't compare to players of his generation.
Dent and Rice both played in the '70s and '80s. Rice was in that playoff game where Dent hit a three-run homer off Mike Torrez to lead the Yankees over the Red Sox 5-4 at Fenway Park.
"What he was referring to is how we played the game. You went on the field, and you just played the game. You played hard, you slid hard, and you did the things the right way as far as when were you on the field," Dent said.
As for Jeter, Dent singled out the Yankees' current shortstop as someone who "plays the game right. He's the guy I tell kids to watch."
Saudi Arabia 5, Venezuela 3
Saudi Arabia was so excited about winning its last game at the series that every player came into the postgame interview room. Most of them sat in the back while making faces at slugger Cameron Durley and two other teammates up front.
Durley hit a two-run single and reliever John Sheppard held Venezuela hitless the last three innings.

Local woman kept cause of kidnapped Israeli alive
In 2009 I wrote a Passover story about Efrat Avramovich, an Israeli working with students in Pittsburgh, who was an advocate for the kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. It now appears that Mr. Shalit is about to be released. Efrat is back in Pittsburgh and she is celebrating. Let this be an encouragement to all who hold long vigils about the uncertain fate of people who are in trouble.

Onr of my friends who just had a baby too told me she will not be giving her lo all thr shots cause it could make lo sick in the future.. I had never heard of it, for me making my lo.immune to a lot of diseases is what matters... wht r ur girls opinions
are u giving ur lo shots?
Posted 08/29/2013
Of course.
Blessed mommy of three to two amazing boys and our new precious baby girl!
Posted 08/29/2013
yup i am..cant risk my babies health .
Posted 08/29/2013
I went back on forth on this for a while but in the end we decided it was best to vaccinate. Your friend's logic makes no sense.
Posted 08/29/2013
Absolutely! My boys have gotten all of theirs with no issues.
Posted 08/29/2013
It's something you need to do research on. I research every vaccine and decide which my kids will receive. Some are just flat out unnecessary. There's so much more to it than saying "I want to keep my child healthy" and just doing what you are told. There's nothing wrong with researching and going against what is pushed when you don't see a good cause to inject something into your baby's body.
Posted 08/29/2013
I have veen debating this, I was planning on a delay schedule but not sure! My LO has a kidney issue so he has to have all his vaccines! I will probably not put them all at the sametime & wait a month or so between the shots after his first set at 2 months! Research is what u need to do!
Posted 08/29/2013
I'm doing a delayed schedule with both boys. Dr fully supports it and understands.
Momma to a house of electrifying mechanical men!
Posted 08/29/2013
Yes. I strongley believe that people who don't vaccinate are putting my children at risk. Vaccinations are very important.
Posted 08/29/2013
Vaccines are important, but not all of them are necessary. Just because someone tells you to do something, doesn't mean you do it or do it without your own reasearch. Do your research before making such bold statements about whether to or not to vaccinate. We are doing selective vaccinating and delayed at that.

New market isn't everyone's cup of tea (East Valley Tribune)

Select Local Merchants
Germantown AestheticsRead MoreLead by medical director Gregory Laurence, Germantown Aesthetics's team of trained specialists beautifies clients' epidermal landscapes during noninvasive and surgical treatments. Germantown Aesthetics welcomes patients into a handsome, historic building raised in 1887 that now combines space-age lasers and medical equipment with the earth-toned décor and meticulous facial-hair grooming of the late 19th century. Within soothing treatment rooms, physician assistants and registered nurses work alongside Dr. Laurence to fill out wrinkles with Botox and Juvéderm, sculpt svelte waistlines with liposuction, and erase unwanted veins from the surface of legs with advanced laser treatments.7475 Poplar PikeGermantown, TN US
Underground ArtRead MoreMemphis's premier body-art studio and its resident Piercinator, Eva Brewer, can equip any body with jewelry that's virtually impossible to steal on crowded trains. Make naval gazing far more rewarding with a bellylicious piercing ($45) or imply a punky Spockepticism with an eyebrow blingabator ($40 for one). If you've always wanted a beauty mark, solidify your appearance at Cindy Crawford?look-alike contests with a sparkling Monroe piercing ($50). Usurp the elasticity of corporate Silly Putty with an earlobe stretching ($10) or make all your public speeches silver-tongued with a tongue studding ($60). Once pierced, this Groupon treats you to aftercare, which includes written instructions on how to take care of your new bling, special mouthwash for oral piercings, and a bottle of gentle soap to cleanse new piercings regardless of corporeal location.2287 Young AvenueMemphis, TN US
Bombay Beauty SalonRead MoreWhen life on the lam plunks you in the middle of an identity comedy worthy of Shakespeare or Voltaire, respond in kind with the proper face and head shaping that will keep your disguise intact. Tame unruly tresses with a trim (starting at $15), or make a pit stop to treat yourself to an express facial ($35) during a particularly tiring shift of delivering plutonium to local captains of industry. Exterminate uninvited body hairs with any of Bombay's regionally specific waxes (starting at $11). Waxing provides a longer-lasting hairlessness than shaving, and when the hair does come back after a few weeks, it's meek, soft, and easily scared back into the follicle with banging pans or the threat of another round of wax.5062 American WayMemphis, TN US
Michael A. Smith, DDSRead MoreIn nearly every situation in life, the less metal that's in your mouth, the better. General and cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael A. Smith, DDS seems to have adopted this position. Unlike traditional dentistry, which repairs cavities with metal amalgams and covers up damaged teeth with conspicuous metal caps, Dr. Smith's Cerec-technology-driven dentistry relies on ceramic onlays, inlays, and veneers. And his composite resins fill in for missing enamel while remaining virtually invisible, like a ketchup stain on a red "I put ketchup on my ketchup" T-shirt. Echoing this commitment to unobtrusive oral health is Dr. Christine H. Fitzgerald. A recent addition to the team, Dr. Fitzgerald brings with her the lessons that she learned during an award-filled stint at the University of Louisville School for Dentistry. Recognized for her work in endodontics, Dr. Fitzgerald also earns plaudits exhibits for the compassion and dedication that drove her to complete mission stints as far away as Honduras and as close as Pikeville, KY. Between the two of them, Drs. Smith and Fitzgerald have more than three decades of experience. They care for patients in a calming office filled with soothing chairside candles. In addition to their in-office work, Dr. Smith also participates in a mobile dental clinic that provides dental care to low-income families.3106 Professional Plz.Germantown, TN US
Cordova Medical & CosMedic SolutionsRead MoreWith credentials from the Tennessee Department of Health and eight years of experience as one of the US medical leaders on President George W. Bush's healthcare-advisory committee, Dr. Marc Crupie guides a team of medical professionals and aesthetics specialists at Cordova Medical & CosMedic Solutions. With over 25 years as a family physician in Memphis, Dr. Crupie's expertise continues to expand each year, as he seeks out advancements in his field and administers new procedures as they are developed, including Botox and lipotherapy, as well as vein-removal and dermal-filler procedures. As a full-service family medical center and cosmetic laser office, Cordova Medical & CosMedic Solutions offers specialized treatments in advanced medical, laser, and aesthetic services. CosMedic Solutions technicians use Cutera lasers to assist clients with treatments ranging from hair removal to skin rejuvenation by controlling intense beams of light. Technicians also work with a Diamond Head Microdermabrasion machine to make skin cells feel as special as a piece of hay in a giant stack of needles.1025 Cordova Station AveCordova, TN US
Pulido Mike DDSRead MoreDr. Mike Pulido obviously knows his stuff when it comes to general and cosmetic dentistry. The fluent Spanish speaker has more than 26 years of experience, has served as the president of the Memphis Dental Legion, and is a Premier Preferred Invisalign provider, which, according to the Invisalign website means he has "achieved a significant level of experience in treating patients with the Invisalign system." But he also refuses to take himself too seriously. His office motto is "We cater to cowards," and he and his staff, including his office administrator and son, William, like to dress up as various dental-related things for Halloween, including a tooth fairy and toothpaste dispenser. It's this relaxed manner and sense of humor that helps calm patients there for everything from dental implants to Zoom! teeth-whitening sessions, which erase stains caused by smoking, drinking wine, or taking the oil epithet "Texas tea" too literally.8590 Farmington BlvdGermantown, TN US

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of National Defense has finally opened the bidding for two frigates worth P18 billion aimed to boost military modernization.
"The DND/Armed Forces of the Philippines now invites bids for the acquisition of two units new construction frigates with ammunition for the Philippine Navy," DND Undersecretary for Bids and Awards Committee Fernando Manalo said in the invitation to bid.
The bidding will also be conducted through a two-stage competitive bidding procedures using a non-discretionary "pass/fail" criterion as specified in the Republic Act 9184 or otherwise known as the government procurement reform act.
Bidding documents may be purchased starting Thursday worth P75,000. The pre-bid conference will be on October 11 at 10 a.m. at the DND BAC Conference Room, Right Wing Basement of the DND Building at Camp Aguinaldo.
The frigates must be delivered within a period of 1,460 calendar days from the opening letter of credit.
The bidders must have completed within the last 10 years from the date of submission and receipt of bids, a contract similar to the project, the invite said.
The acquisition of the two frigates is part of the 24 projects that the DND plans to acquire through the AFP modernization funds worth P75 billion.
The decision to pursue the brand new frigates came after plans to forego the acquisition of refurbished Maestrale-class frigates from Italy.

Video was helpful and reading the other responses online was a big help also. Followed all of those instructions. Most difficult part was disconnecting the electrical plug to the ice maker. Need a screwdrive or other pointed object to depress plastic tab. Other than that, things went smoothly. HOWEVER, after turning water back on and plugging in fridge, I thought everthing was perfect...no leaks initially. BUT, came back a few hours later to find no ice cubes in the holding tray, "iceburg" formations and ice dams built up again thoughout the freezer. Water was leaking continuously from the ice maker. Upon further analysis, it appears the electronic mechanism keeps telling the fridge to send water to the ice maker...or, it is sending too much before shutting the water off. The tray is overflowing and that seems to be the problem. I'm back to square one, but with a new ice maker.
