The Ben Franklin YachtRead MoreSunlight and moonbeams glimmer on Philadelphia harbor, where The Ben Franklin Yacht glides silently to reveal a new perspective on the cradle of American democracy and replicate the freedom of the open ocean. Recently refurbished, the modern vessel hosts up to 300 guests in long, low decks whose mirrored ceilings flood the space with reflected light and expose pirates who have "Mom" tattoos hidden in their bald spots. A wooden dance floor and bar fuel parties, and knowledgeable guides propel discussion about the city's history from the breezy top deck. The majestic vessel may also be rented out for private parties. The port of departure is within walking distance of other famed sights, such as the Liberty Bell, Constitution Center, and the cherry tree from which George Washington famously crafted his wooden wig. Boarding begins approximately 30 minutes prior to each excursion.401 North Columbus BoulevardPhiladelphia, PA US
On CruisesRead MoreDetermined to convert waterways across North America into party corridors, On Cruises deploys its fleet of festivity-ready ships along the rivers and lakes of major cities under the helm of experienced skippers. A host of themed cruises—including a haunted Halloween ghost-ship cruise populated by costumed guests and phantoms in their regular clothes—facilitate floating celebrations, and after-work cruises enable guests to unwind offshore.401 North Columbus BoulevardPhiladelphia, PA US
American Sailing ToursRead MoreAmerican Sailing Tours, featured on Wheretraveler.com, loads citizens onto the good ship Summer Wind for relaxation and education on the Delaware River. The jolly crew handles all the hatch-battening, jib-cutting, and barnacle frying on each excursion. Meanwhile seafarers learn about the Delaware's contributions to Philadelphia history on the History Sail, which embarks once per day, six mornings a week. Customers on the Tropical Sail tap sea-toes to the beat of beach music from the Caribbean, New Orleans, and New Margaritaville two or three times a day depending on the time of year; check the online schedule for an idea of departure dates and times.401 North Columbus BoulevardPhiladelphia, PA US
SideTour - LeisureRead MoreSound Excursions describes their carefully curated group experiences as "field trips for adults." It's easy to see why: every outing takes groups to a new realm of Washington, whether it's the frothy shores of Puget Sound, inland forests and mountains, or tables at Seattle's thriving restaurants. The events held at these diverse locations range from culinary workshops on topics such as sushi-making and moonshine-tasting, to adventurous excursions with whitewater rafting or kayaking, to laid-back themed party cruises. For many outings, luxury transportation is provided.420 Chestnut StreetPhiladelphia, PA US
Philadelphia Canoe Club PhiladelphiaRead MoreWhere the Wissahickon Creek spills into the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia Canoe Club?s 18th-century mill stands next to a yard full of colorful boats. Each year, more than 300 guests take these kayaks into the water and flat-paddle down the scenic, tree-lined shores or head into the whitewater rapids downstream. Whatever their adventure, they maneuver their craft with confidence because Philadelphia Canoe Club?s certified instructors have instructed them through the fundamentals of boating and water safety, as they have since 1905.4900 Ridge AvePhiladelphia, PA US
Beaver Dam Boat RentalsRead MoreOperating since 1903, Beaver Dam Boat Rentals provides access to the quiet waters and plentiful wildlife of Oranokin Creek. Initially prized by the Lenape Indians for its abundance of crabs, the creek offers crabbing enthusiasts a chance to snag up to a bushel of prized blue claws. Staff can tow guests to one of the four salt ponds where the crabs are hiding and help lure them out with free subscriptions to People magazine. Beaver Dam will stop by throughout the day to tow boats to a more attractive location, and can provide all necessary supplies. Sightseeers can also test out Oranokin Creek in an old-fashioned rowboat, or rent fiberglass boats ($50–$60) that hold five passengers or party boats that hold up to six ($70). Beaver Dam Boat Rentals also offers guided kayak tours suited to participants' experience and fitness levels, and operates a boat ramp for the start of duck-hunting season.:m]]514 Old Beaver Dam RdNewport, NJ US

Good for the money.I was surprised that I could not buy it in the store but had to go on line to get it. The good part was it was here in 2 days and no shipping charge. It is some what flimsy but it is light and works well. It would be good for a small family or couple to use in a limited space. The price of $99 makes it a good deal
Takes up little space and looks goodGreat little grill for the kind of grilling we two old folks do. Well made and easy to keep clean
perfect sizePerfect size for a family of 4. Been using the product for 2 months now and have no issues.

wow!!!I wanted a little gas grill for small cooking projects. this grill has exceeded my expectations. i love how quickly it gets hot and how quickly it cools so clean up is a breeze. the cooking area is evenly heated so I can cook more things at once and can enjoy more time with my company.
Just the right sizeI love it. It is the perfect size to throw 2 steaks on.
6 years really likeI have had this grill 6 years and use it all year even when it is snowing, it has been great from day one, had to replace the heat tent so I did burner too both lasted 3 years and were easy to find and easy to get and easy to replace, I'm here getting one for my nephew, glad to see it offered

DO NOT Change this grillI've been cooking for over 50 yrs. and have had various grills. This is the first one that I really TRUST. There is no way the flame can get out of control and flair up. Because of the unique trough design, I feel safe setting the timer to work on other parts of the meal. I also purchased your cookbook 'America Grills', these recipes are great and I'm trying new things all the time. Never thought I would cook fish and fruits on a grill. My daughter and daughter-in-law have purchased the same book and plan on buying this specific grill. Thank you.
Great ficturesI bought this unit 5 month ago and I'm happy that I did.
Great GrillThis grill is as good if not better than anyone I have ever owned. It's my first Infared grill and it cooks just as good as non-infared and with no flair ups. The folding sides are great for saving space when the grill is not in use.
- Read more about this product
GREAT GRILLThe "IR" feature is a large concave metal pan that sits between the grate and the burners. Works awesome because it catches drippings and prevents flare-ups. Maintains a steady temperature, relatively easy to clean, and most importantly, the burners and bottom of the grill don't get grease on them. I've cooked nice steaks (high heat, fast cooking), ribs (low heat, slow cooking), and chicken (medium heat for a medium time) all with no problem. Doesn't dry your meat out, and flare-ups are greatly minimized. You can still get the fat that drips into the IR pan to flare up, but it's nothing like having the fat drip on the burners. Works great, especially if you're cooking big items like multiple racks of ribs or multiple birds simultaneously. Good for entertaining.
Very competent grill with great features an excellent buy.
A Chef's Best friendThis grill allows us to grill an entire meal on it, meat, chicken, fish and lots of room for sides. Having a side burner is also great to keep sauces warm. Love the great grill marks and juiciness of the meats.
- Read more about this product
just perfectI loved is very fast for cook and clean the grill by he self and cook the meat very juice.
Great FeaturesIlove to cook on his Char-Broil. I don't have flare ups and it is easy to to determine the heat settings.
You have to buy this grill before you dieThe grill is fantastic, although you will have to retrain yourself a bit because of the speed/heat it cooks at. The meats you grill will be juicier than you can ever imagine and even when you make a mistake, like I have, the grill is forgiving in that matter. The mistake is wanting a steak, medium rare, and this is where the retraining comes in, the steak ended up medium well... ruined steak right ?... nope the infrared cooking seared the juices into the steak as advertised and it was delicious. The even heat you get all over the cooking surface is a key also to whatever you're grilling. You will NOT be disappointed if you invest in this grill, it's money well spent plus you save on LP because of the speed/heat it cooks at. If you need a grill, THIS is the one you need to get.

Best grill I have purchased!This grill is by far the best I have owned. The stainless steel unit combined with other features such as castor wheels, burner assy, push button ignition, easy cleaning, well made, is the easiest unit to use and store that I have purchased. The temperature gauges are easy to read and adjust to. Plenty of room on the side trays for utensils and food or plates also. All around great grill for a couple or small family.
Great grill, awesome value!I purchased this grill to keep in my 3 season porch. It is a great size and was super easy to assemble. I had it together and burning gas in 30-45 min. In the week that I have owned it we have done steaks, brats, hot dogs and beer can chicken to perfection. I would reccomend this grill to anyone cooking for a few or many.
FantasticI have really liked it so far, all stainless construction, cooks fast too

Annoying problem on PainterIX...Help
OK, here's the problem, example -
I begin a new painting in Painter. I start with my background layer and begin painting in my background colors (such as a sky color for instance).
Then I create a new layer and begin to draw on top of the background layer.
Here's where the problem starts -When I begin to lightly shade certain areas I get a weird result with the mixing of the background color and the top layer. It's almost looks like swirly oil/water mix effect.
Here's an example -
(The green dot on the left was was drawn on the same layer as the background and looks fine...However the green dot on the right was created on the layer above the background. Do you notice the swirly oily effect Im getting on the dot on the right?)
Does anyone know how to get rid of that effect??
BTW, the background colors were created using "oil pastels" and the illustration on the top layers were also created using "oil pastels". I can't figure out why there would by a conflict between the two layers.

In Painter 8, I got rid of the problem by "ticking" the [pick up underlying color] option (near the top of the layer palette). Don't ask why that work though.

Jim Hurleycommented on a video on YouTube.
I tend to get the most from your Seattle club lecture series, although your user game reviews and plays against patrons are also very informative.
I also enjoyed the reviews of several of the 'famous' games - the ladder game, Go Seigen, and the others.
I'm a beginner, and I'd like to see you address some slightly more advanced topics, like thickness versus being heavy - I find the terms confusing.
Often you cover the games up through the mid-game. I think I'd like to see more addressing the end-game - although I understand that beginners need to work more on the opening strategies before worrying about end-games.
For the problem series, I always pause the screen and work out the solution before you proceed. I have a suggestion for these - often the camera angles are being adjusted while you continue, so it makes it hard to pause. If you could take a short break until things are set up properly that would be great.
Keep up the great work, overall your approach and explanations are right on at my level of play.
EDIT: I've also re-watched many of your lectures, particularly the ones on joseki.
EDIT #2: It always puzzled me that your magnetic board has numerics in English numbers and the other side is Chinese or Japanese characters. Can't you paste over the chinese and put in roman alphabetics (A through T)? That would conform better to other graphics and make it easier for your classmates to mention a board position.

Originally written on Fox Sports South | Last updated 2/5/13
Reggie Johnson was serious in October when he said the only reason the media ignored his basketball team was because of the name on the front of their jerseys. The senior forward said that if Miami had "North Carolina or Duke on the front" they'd be picked to finish atop the ACC. "We have that kind of team," he said. He was right. Before Super Bowl Sunday, Miami already owned a victory at UNC and a 27-point win at home over the Blue Devils. On Saturday, the Hurricanes put another notch in their belts by knocking off another traditional ACC program along the almost-religious trail of Tobacco Road when Johnson tipped in a teammates' missed runner with .8 seconds left to beat then-No. 19 North Carolina State before nearly 20,000 boisterous fans. Miami didn't beat Duke or UNC with the tip-in, but NC State's history is quite rich and its home atmosphere wreaks of ACC hoops. This was yet another infusion of ACC DNA into the Miami program's veins. "I told our players after the ga...

Arletha Simpson Offers Motivation Through Meditation on Bible
Through prayer and meditation on the word of God, Arletha Simpson came to author the new book, "Food for Thought: Life Changing Perspectives" (published by iUniverse).
" 'Food for Thought' has a lot of valuable insights," Simpson says. "It talks about everyday struggles and how we can overcome it. It gives us hope and encouragement; it will satisfy the reader's taste."
Simpson explains how people are not victims of their circumstances, but rather people of change. With this thought in mind, she leads readers to look at life from a different perspective.
Through short nuggets of wisdom organized into chapters of topics like character, pride, and forgiveness, "Food for Thought" recognizes the contemporary problems and challenges facing readers, offering encouragement and motivation for each new day.
"I hope 'Food for Thought' will change the lives of those who read it," Simpson says. "I pray that you will draw strength and grow from it; 'Food for Thought' will be an opening to healing from past hurts, doubt, and fear."
"Food for Thought"

Owners Rumors
Orlando Magic Chief Executive Officer Alex Martins has been named to Orlando Magazine's Most Powerful People list for the eighth consecutive year, ranking twelfth on this year's list. Martins has remained a fixture in the rankings of the most dynamic leaders in Central Florida for much of the past decade. He was a "Hall of Power" member after ranking in Orlando Magazine's Top 5 for five years in a row of their "Most Powerful People" rankings and sat atop that list in 2012.
Jason Calmes: Breaking News: Judge has ruled #Pelicans (and #Saints) owner Tom Benson to be mentally competent.
Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft, has been a part of several brand launches that have elicited mixed feedback from consumers. He was well aware of the backlash that the new logo received on social media Wednesday and Thursday. "Many people really don't like change in this world, they really don't," Ballmer said. "If we changed the user interface on a software product, people didn't like it. Some people do but the people that are set and comfortable don't like it. I know when newspapers change their formats, it takes getting used to and this will take some getting used to for people who really liked where we were. The overwhelming sentiment from the people who communicated with me initially was 'change.' I'm glad we did what we did and I don't expect to do it every year."
Some professional sports teams take two years working on rebranding, but Ballmer said he felt the need to introduce change before this season, ahead on the one-year anniversary of his purchase of the team. He also said he briefly considered changing the team name before ultimately deciding to keep it. "I think the name has actually developed value," Ballmer said. "It's a name that stands for a team overcoming difficulty. I kind of like that. Overcoming difficulty is not a bad thing. So I didn't want to change the name. I was kind of hardcore about that in my thinking but I did want to signal a new day, a new age and a new generation. So we said let's keep the colors, keep the name and change everything else."
"It was important because I know I bought a team in L.A. that will be in L.A. forever," Ballmer said. "I know a lot of people say, 'Hey, the guy doesn't live here and what's that all about?' But the Clippers will always be in L.A. Hey, let's face it, for most of our history we've been the number two team in L.A., but we embrace this place and we're as fired about it and care as much about it as anybody else around. We're here. We'll always be here. I don't even think about it. I've never thought about it. I was quite clear when we were bidding on Sacramento, the group that I was with, we were moving the team to Seattle. But when I bought a team in L.A. there was no question in my mind that was a team for L.A. I like L.A. It's a place I like to come visit. It's a wonderful place. While my family will stay living where we're living, that doesn't mean this isn't a great place to get away for business and watch games and do all that. It's a great place. The value of the team is highly dependent on it being here in L.A. If you move a team anywhere else, it's not the same. Atlanta just sold for $850 million. That's not what I paid for L.A."

What will happen to me when I turn myself in for a vandalism citation?
Posted on December 17, 2011
I am 21 years old and received a vandalism citation last night at a bar. I was extremely drunk and got into an argument with a guy I work with and ended up throwing a couple drinks at him, which got onto the pool table behind him. The owner got all pissed and called the cops and wants me to pay for the table's damage. The cops came and told me I would have to turn myself in on a given day coming up. What is going to happen when I turn myself in?

Check these out, too...
Time Frame
After ya take a hit to the head, there are a few symptoms
that'll show up immediately, but others may not arrive for days or weeks.
Sometimes, new symptoms are also brought on when you return to normal
activities too soon, because then your stress level increases. So be on the
lookout for a while after your injury, in case the signs are slow to appear.
Attention ASAP
Immediately after ya get hit, you'll know there's something
wrong if you pass out (even for a short time), have a headache that won't quit,
feel weak or dizzy, have convulsions or seizures, are confused or disoriented,
have one pupil that's larger than the other, throw up or feel nauseous, can't
speak easily, or seem extra tired. Basically, any kind of behavior that's
out-of-the-ordinary merits a trip to the ER or to visit your doc.
Sneakier Signs
Over time, a concussion affects four important general
aspects of your bod. First, you can have emotional issues, like being unusually
grumpy, sad, nervous, or just plain emotional. Second, you may have physical
problems, like headaches, blurry vision, dizziness, trouble with your balance,
and light or noise sensitivity. Third, your sleep schedule will probably be
thrown off. You may sleep more or less than usual, and it'll also be hard to
get to sleep. Finally, your brain is gonna be a li'l shaken, so you'll find it
hard to think clearly, concentrate, remember stuff, and just go through life at
your normal pace.

Letter to the EditorNovember 6, 2011 // 0 Comments
Dear Editor,
The Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP deplores the elimination of minority as a qualification for the scholarships in the Talent Incentive Program in the bill passed by the Wisconsin Assembly in the early hours of Wednesday, November 2nd. The inclusion of minority as a qualification in the current state law helps to remedy racial disparity in the number of minority students who attend college and graduate from college.
A study recently released by the Milwaukee NAACP titled "Milwaukee Today" concerning the state of African-Americans in Milwaukee, authored by Dr. R. L. McNeely, a professor in the UW-M Helen Bader School of Social Welfare, contains copious statistical support for the racial disparities existing and increasing in this community. The study presents evidence for the fact that destabilization of the community results from these disparities. (Copies of the study are available at a cost of $10 from the Milwaukee NAACP.)
An editorial column in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel by reporter and commentator David Brooks discusses forms of inequality. He refers to the fact that children of college graduates have a much higher degree of success in college and a higher rate of college graduation than do children of non-college graduate parents, and that college graduation is the biggest determiner of economic success in our society.
Scholarship help for racial and ethnic minorities is essential if we are to have a stable community of citizens who can support themselves and their children.
We urge the Wisconsin Senate to reject the Assembly Bill.
For more information, contact Barbara J. Becker, 1stVice President, Milwaukee Branch NAACP, (414)352-8843.

ESA & DLA Appeals Tribunal
For those people who found themselves in the position that they had to take their ATOS "professionals" decision Appeal to a Tribunal the Ministry of Justice put a video on YouTube on behalf of HM Courts and Tribunals service called "Making an appeal to the Social Security and Child Support Tribunal".
Chris Grayling the Tory Minister for State (Employment) - Department of Work and Pensions, has had this video removed on a couple of occasions after complaining about the information that it provided and the advice it gave.
In particular, that "DWP do not usually send anyone to represent them at the Tribunal" and "That more than twice as many people win their appeals by attending a Tribunal".
Note that this is a Government Minister getting a Government Agency's video removed !!!!
Does this not tell you that they know they are deliberately trying to get people back to work who are clearly not fit to work but do not want them to know their rights ?
The Video is available on YouTube at the moment but may get taken down again at any time.

Total Time:
40 mins, plus chilling time
8 apples
The name says it all: a sweet, salty, gooey, crunchy apple that's sure to have many fans.
What to buy: A reliable candy/fat thermometer is crucial for getting an accurate read on the caramel. We like this thermometer from CDN.
Braeburn apples, with their crunchy texture and spicy-sweet flavor, work nicely with this particular caramel apple combination. But feel free to substitute any locally grown apple with the same characteristics.
Craft sticks give these apples an authentic state-fair feel. Look for them next to the apples in the produce section of the grocery store, or order them online. If you can't find them, chopsticks will work in a pinch.
Game plan: The apples can be made and stored in the refrigerator up to 1 day ahead.
You'll have a bit of caramel left after dipping the apples, so try making some soft caramels with the excess. Pour the remaining caramel into a parchment-lined, 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan and, if desired, sprinkle with sea salt. Let sit at room temperature until set. Remove the caramel from the pan and cut it into 1-inch pieces.
This recipe was featured as part of our Tricked-Out Caramel Apples project.
For the coating:
Serve it as a dipping sauce, over cold noodles, or tossed in a salad.

During the 33rd National Conference in Raleigh, NC we were proud to recognize our highest quality magnet programs, their leaders, and teachers. We would like to congratulate William Daniel from Boone High School in Orlando, Florida for being named the 2015 National Magnet School Teacher of the Year.
"For the past 21 years, I am very proud to state that I consider myself as having arguably the best teaching job in the country," says Mr. Daniel. "Working entirely in a project-based learning setting, the Academy of Finance magnet program at Boone High School is a shining example of what is possible when a public school system works one-to-one with the private sector for the benefit of all students. In such a setting, opportunities abound when it comes to school-to-work programming, technological applications, and community partnerships. Add in the fact that financial literacy by its very nature is perhaps the most transformative subject that a child can learn while in school, and you have all the makings for a program that serves as a catalyst for student growth."
The National Magnet School Teacher of the Year Award was established in 2010 and is given annually to an outstanding magnet school teacher who is acknowledged by their peers, parents and students for their exemplary contributions made to their profession.
When Irmo High School International School for the Arts became a magnet school last year, school leaders and arts staff had a goal of making participation in the arts inclusive of all students in the school. That goal was realized this school year as students and staff held several events and performances, including two showcasing the artwork of special needs students at the school.
School officials say Irmo High School's "Be a Fan" talent show and "Exceptional Art" exhibit helped broaden students' perspectives on art and the role of art in unifying groups and educating people about special needs students. Keep Reading...

26th October 2011
With less than a year to go to the 2012 Games, Olympic and Paralympic fencing hopefuls will be demonstrating their fast and skilful sport in the Western Courtyard at Devonshire Square, near Liverpool Street in London, on Thursday 3rd November from 6pm.
The competition, featuring all three fencing weapons; foil, epee and sabre, as well as wheelchair fencing, will be hosted by the BBC's Graham Bell who will explain the action to spectators.
The showcase event is follows on from the hugely successful pop-up fencing demonstration held in Leadenhall Market back in March this year and is in support of Beazley's five year sponsorship of British Fencing.
Onlookers will be encouraged to have a go and will be coached by the Great Britain team members present. With prizes and pride to be won, head down to Devonshire Terrace for a drink after work and find out more about fencing.

High school notes: Western Heights' Tristan Clark working back from injury
Morrison a leader for Cyclones
This year's Casady team has a much different look from last year's 'Redeem Team.' A club that was full of seniors has been replaced by a lot of young kids.
The Cyclones only have three seniors on their roster, but one of them, lineman Connor Morrison, has emerged as this year's leader.
"With him out there, it's like having another coach," coach Koby Scoville said. "Seriously, he commands the respect from his teammates and understands what we're trying to do."
Because Casady is not a member of the OSSAA, the Cyclones have already completed two weeks of practice.
Tulsa Union's Jones commits to Colorado State
Entering the season, it didn't appear Tulsa Union had many individual stars but had the deepest team in the state.
But the Redskins did have their second senior commit to a Division I school in less than a week Friday night.
Tight end Blake Jones committed to Colorado State. At 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, Jones has tremendous size and was also receiving interest from several Big 12 schools.
Teammate Kale Pearson, who is moving from wide receiver to quarterback this season, committed to Air Force earlier in the week.

Volunteers from Standpoint, Idaho, and New Orleans, assisted residents on the East coast affected by Hurricane Sandy. The trip in March was organized by Forward Edge International, of Vancouver. "When the team members from New Orleans heard that Forward Edge International was responding to Sandy, they were interested in going because they had their homes and church worked on by FEI teams after Hurricane Katrina," said Laura Strahan, co-coordinator of teams for Forward Edge. Some Camas and Washougal residents have provided relief in the U.S. and in other countries on trips coordinated by the non-profit organization.

By Sam Sifton
Published: February 27, 2004
A few old friends dropped in on an old friend for dinner the other night, after a long absence. This sort of thing happens in New York all the time. New experiences come calling. We lose track, and then catching up is hard. It's awkward.
Particularly in the case of Zoë, the once rollicking ''new American'' restaurant that Thalia and Stephen Loffredo opened in 1992, when the economy was accelerating back up from the crash of '87, and SoHo was still only on the cusp of becoming a mall. Back then, Zoë's open kitchen and wood-fired oven were something new for Manhattan, something amazing and Californian and cool. Back then, when Zoë had both those and an impudent, brave, all-American wine list, the restaurant was on the knife's edge of hip. Really.
Now, of course, there are a lot of bag-toting tourists eating fried calamari at lunch and half-full desolation in the dining room at dinner, and even if the food isn't ever bad, it does not often play well in the mouth. There's still that staggeringly expensive, though very good, wine list. That wood oven is still there, still delightful and warm and inviting after more than a decade. But the restaurant is like a Broadway actor performing in summer-stock Sondheim. It needs an infusion of verve, and audiences that know what they're seeing.
An example. Why are the lunchtime pizzas -- once Puckish in design, crisped and delightful and thin -- served so woefully underdone now? Is it because they're easier to fold that way, and eat in the manner of something from a Ray's on the street corner?
Or is it because they're made by rote, by clock punchers eager for the end of the shift? Either way it's depressing. Zoë can do much better, and does.
There is on the dinner menu a perfectly excellent rendition of slow-roasted duck. It has crispy skin and meltingly tender meat and is served above a pretty and flavorful stir fry of Chinese long beans (very good), lotus root (bad idea), shiitakes (well, a shiitake, to be precise) and shunkyo (it's a kind of radish). Absent the lotus root, and served alongside some delicious polenta fries, it's the sort of entree that could be a calling card: a steak frites for the new American bistro. But ask a waiter about it. ''It's O.K.,'' ours said before the meal, looking blank.
Ten minutes later a busboy brought the table a plate of fried calamari.
''Yours?'' he asked. We shook our heads, no.
Zoë, 90 Prince Street, between Broadway and Mercer Street, SoHo, (212) 966-6722. Entrees, $17.75 to $29.75.

LJWorld.com weblogs Tale of the Tait
NFL Draft Spotlight on Kerry Meier
It seems that if you're going to compare former Kansas University wide receiver Kerry Meier to an NFL player, you're going to first have to decide if you want to compare him to a tight end or a wide receiver.
Although there are a few receivers out there who share Meier's size — 6-foot-3, 220 pounds — there aren't many that have the same combination of steady hands and brute toughness like Meier. At the same, the tight ends that possess those traits are far bigger than Meier and, therefore, not quite as athletic or sure-handed.
Though he probably won't be drafted before the fourth round in this week's NFL Draft (Thursday through Saturday in New York City), Meier is one of the most intriguing players available in this year's draft class, simply because he can be so versatile.
Consider this: Depending on which team drafts him, Meier could be in line to play one of five different positions in the pros. And that's not counting special teams.
Wide receiver? Obviously. That's what he'll be drafted as and that's where he'll get his first shot.
Tight end? Sure. If he added 15-20 pounds of muscle (easier said than done) and became obsessed with becoming more physical and a better blocker, Meier could be the first of a new breed of NFL tight ends.
Quarterback? Why not? He was a star in high school at the position and had a pretty good freshman season at KU before making the switch. What's more, he never stopped working as a QB — serving as Todd Reesing's back-up despite becoming a starting receiver — and it was his quarterback's eye and understanding that helped him excel as a wideout. It's not likely, but if he ends up with a team like Cleveland or Oakland, they might give him a look under center when all other options fail.
Safety? Maybe. He certainly has the build and the knowledge of how the secondary works. And his speed, though not blazing, might be good enough to make him a decent strong safety. The big question here would be if he could all of a sudden learn how to become a punishing hitter. I wouldn't bet against it.
Linebacker? Doubtful. But, again, if he added 20-30 pounds of muscle and developed a mean streak, I bet there's at least one NFL GM or head coach who could see Meier manning the middle. Again, though, this one is the least likely of them all.
But isn't that the point. Doesn't this exercise at least illustrate just how valuable Meier could become for an NFL club? I mean, he might not be the hottest wide receiver prospect out there, but he is an athlete. And a great one at that. He's already shown a willingness to try a new position and, more importantly, he's already shown that he can succeed at a new spot if given the chance.
Some NFL team is going to draft Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and do whatever it takes to turn him into a pro-style QB. Tebow's athletic prowess alone guarantees that. The catch is, whoever snags him might have to do it in the first round.
Four or five rounds later, however, a team will take a gamble on a guy named Kerry Meier for the very same reasons. Like Tebow, Meier possesses all of the physical attributes you look for in an athlete. The thing that gives the team taking Meier the advantage over the team that takes Tebow? They won't have to waste a first-round pick on him and they might be able to try him out at more than one position.

Marques Colston, New Orleans, 6-4, 225
Anquan Boldin, Baltimore, 6-1, 217

Meier is a grest athlete but come on...linebacker? safety? quarterback? tight end? Really? At Kansas maybe he could play these other positions but you are talking about the NFL.

Catbacker 5 years, 2 months ago
Wow...it's as if this writer has absolutely no knowledge of the NFL, or really, football for that matter. Meier will be extremely lucky to even be drafted. More likely to be a free agent pick up.
1029 5 years, 2 months ago
ha. good one. looks like somebody is still a little upset that KU won 3 of the 4 games Meier played against kstate.
Meier will be drafted, no doubt about it.
riverdrifter 5 years, 2 months ago
My family's had Chiefs tickets for decades so I've seen some NFL players. My scenario for Kerry is that a top-level franchise like the Pats or Steelers drafts him in a low round and he makes it through 3-4 contracts over 10 or so years and plays in a couple of Super Bowls. Not a great player, just good and reliable. Everybody talks about how smart they were to see a diamond in the rough. In 2020, Kerry gets waived, the Chiefs (or some such sadsack operation) signs him as a free agent. Nothing comes of it, retires as 32-year old multi-millionaire, end of story.
MYOB 5 years, 2 months ago
I'm afraid the draft will be at the back of the Meier's minds now. http://kansasstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1076410 So sad......
jhawks1234 5 years, 2 months ago
rip dylan...My thoughts are with the Meier family
Freestater456 5 years, 2 months ago
I was so shocked and sad when I heard the news about Dylan. As a k state fan, I think we can all agree that this is a huge tragedy that this family didn't deserve. Good luck to Kerry in the draft I really hope he gets drafted.
riverdrifter 5 years, 2 months ago
I just heard about this. They are a class family and this is awful news.
My thoughts go out to the Meiers.
