Fabulous & Frugal: Networking great way to find deals on Internet
Most people have favorite websites that they go to for shopping and deal-saving needs. Well, I've found some that at first glance may seem a little out there but do end up having some of the best deals.
Let's be honest: Who really has hours to surf the Net to find websites that are legitimate and have really good deals? I know I don't, but I do interact with a lot of people daily who are willing to share their money-saving tips with me.
You would be surprised what you can find out while standing in line for coffee before work. This week, I want to share a few of these websites:
Neverlikeditanyway.com: Have you ever been through a bad breakup? You know, one of those that made you never again want to see anything that reminded you of that person? Well if you have, you are not alone. Neverlikeditanyway.com lists items that come from broken relationships. From diamond rings to never-worn wedding dresses, you can find some really good deals on this site. The items posted have the retail price, then the break-up price listed. Maybe you're not interested in shopping, but have a few items that you are interested in selling. What a great way to let go of those items from past relationships and make a profit at the same time. My favorite part of the site is that you can read about what happened in the relationships.
Pinchingyourpennies.com: OK, so the name might be a little cliché, but this is a great site to bookmark for those who have really embraced this fabulous and frugal lifestyle. I'm not huge on blogging or following blogs, but this website has quite a few that I enjoy reading from time to time. Another great thing about this site is that there are tons of discount codes available for a variety of stores and restaurants. Unlike many websites, this one does pretty well with keeping up to date with valid discount codes.
Crazydeals.com: I was skeptical at first because sometimes I've found that websites like these are just too good to be true. However, this one is actually worth taking some time to peruse. This site is dedicated to rebates from manufacturers. While some are instant, others are mail-in, but can still be worth it, especially when you plan ahead to make large purchases. The deals that really stood out to me were on electronics, because those deals could be used in addition to the in-store sales and or coupons that may be available.
Freebirthday.com: This website has birthday and non-birthday deals, and is a great place to do some cheap birthday shopping. Get a friend a free dinner to their favorite restaurant, or even save on a gift certificate to their favorite store. Regardless of whether there's a birthday lurking around the corner or not, this website is a good one to check out.

In addition, it found that some employees engaged in questionable practices in accounting for hours worked and compensatory time. Auditor Anthony Scannell wrote that some of the comments are symptomatic of an overall lack of respect for the County rules as well as lack of supervision and accountability. Disagreement with the report came from council member Janet Kilpatrick, who said that the picture the auditor laid out was not accurate. Delaware Chief Justice Weighs In on Barley Mill Development By Don Rush • Mar 6, 2014 development plans Delaware's Chief Justice Leo Strine questioned the arguments by the owner of Barley Mill Plaza in Greenville that a lower court judge overreach in throwing out the project's rezoning. The lower court judge's ruling voided the New Castle County's 2011 vote to rezone nearly 40 percent of the 92-acre office park. The owners argued that the lower court should not have gotten into the meeting records to figure out the reasoning of a key vote on the council.

Tine 2.0 with Mail and Calendar at LinuxTag 2009
The groupware project Tine 2.0 will appear at the Berlin LinuxTag 2009 with a beta version of its 2009-06 release, code-named Leonie, that includes mail and calendar components.
The first release candidates for Leonie should start showing up after LinuxTag. Project member Cornelius Weiss expects the final release around the beginning of July, depending on how many bugs the community finds in the beta.
The Leonie release with mail and calendar gives Tine 2.0 its first steps to completeness. Cornelius Weiss: "With it, we've done some groupware that no one else can offer, and that completely as open source under AGPLv3. Unlike other providers, we also offer connectivity for mobile devices under a free license." Further development should occupy itself with ERP and CRM followup features.
Tine 2.0 developers had split off their project from the eGroupWare collaboration software project the beginning of 2008. The development effort is largely carried by the Metaways Infosystems firm in Hamburg, Germany.
The Tine 2.0 project will be at LinuxTag 2009 in Hall 7.2A, Booth 102A, from June 24 through 27 in Berlin.

Bacteria can talk to each other via molecules they themselves produce. The phenomenon is called quorum sensing, and is important when an infection propagates. Now, researchers at Linkping University in Sweden are showing how bacteria control processes in human cells the same way.
The results are being published in the journal PLOS Pathogens with Elena Vikstrm, researcher in Medical Microbiology, as the main author.
When an infection is signaled, more and more bacteria gather at the site of the attack a wound, for example. When there are enough of them, they start acting like multicellular organisms. They can form biofilms, dense structures with powers of resistance against both antibiotics and the body's immune defence system. At the same time, they become more aggressive and increase their mobility. All these changes are triggered when the communication molecules short fatty acids with the designation AHL bind to receptors inside the bacterial cells; as a consequence various genes are turned on and off.
AHL can migrate freely through the cell membrane, not just in bacterial cells but also our own cells, which can be influenced to change their functions. In low concentrations white blood cells, for example, can be more flexible and effective, but in high concentrations the opposite occurs, which weakens our immune defences and opens the door for progressive infections and inflammations.
A team at Linkping University is the first research group in the world to show how AHL can influence their host cells. Using biochemical methods, the researchers have identified a protein designated IQGAP, which they single out as the recipient of the bacteria's message, and something of a double agent.
"The protein can both listen in on the bacteria's communication and change the functions in its host cells," Vikstrm says.
Their laboratory studies were carried out on human epithelial cells from the intestines, which were mixed with AHL of the s

Full Tiltwrote a review of Laundromat Zurich Sweater - Men's on December 3, 2014
Shaun White meets Fred Rogers
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Fit: True to size
Old School/New School Balance.
The style of ths sweater is really top notch. I love the old school alpine design with the new twist of the hand pockets and hood. Makes this a classic that will fetch compliments from your grandparents and your kids' friends.
Heavy weight, wear as a mid- or heavy jacket. The idea of facing the 100% wool shell with the no-itch fleece interior is excellent. The wood collar ends on the hood and waist adjustment strings add a quality old world touch. This will get some wear this winter, I can tell already!
Suggestions to get that 5-star rating:
1. Move the hand pockets back to the sides a little. They are so far forward that there isn't enough room for a full size pocket. I don't have huge hands, but I can only bury them up to the wrist and no further.
2. At the underarm, replace the fleece lining with something thinner. The wool shell is already fairly thick, and adding the fleece makes the sweater bind just a bit under the arms. It's not severe, but it does feel a bit like you have a mitten stuffed under each arm. This isn't an area where you need the extra warmth, so why not go for a thinner insert right there? It would help the sleeve fall about 1/2" longer and. hey....see my sizing comments below.
Sizing: I'm 6'2", 175 lbs. 43" chest, 31" waist, 34/35" sleeve size. I ordered a large. The chest is actually slightly snug, the waist has plenty of room but is not baggy. The sleeves come right to the wrist, but don't rest on the base of my thumbs. I would have loved another 1/2" to 1" there ideally, but the length is workable. Since there is no elastic wrist cuff, my baselayer sticks out slightly but doesn't look strange.
Overall: High quality item, and I'm very happy with it.

I am up late watching Prime 9 on MLBtv. They have Griffey at #6 All-Time at CF. I know he was not the greatest here, but I think I would have put him at least in the top 3. What do you guys think?
I am up late watching Prime 9 on MLBtv. They have Griffey at #6 All-Time at CF. I know he was not the greatest here, but I think I would have put him at least in the top 3. What do you guys think?
Granted I never saw any of those guys play, but from what I have heard and from highlights I would go Mays #1, thats a no brainer.
Cobb #2 seems like a pretty solid no brainer also.
I would put him above Mantle, similar hitting numbers but I am sure Griffey blew him away with the glove.
I would have to say Griffey would be number 3 and no worse than number 4...Mantle or Dimaggio could slip ahead just cause they are Yankees greats. People have quickly forgotten just how dominant all-around Griffey was in the 90's against juiced up competition.
Dimaggio was special, and not because of being a Yankee.
Griffey isn't even close to DiMaggio....no where near him. DiMaggio couldn't be struck out (he homered as many times as he struck out in his career....nobody can say that who's had at least 25 home runs). Griffey, in his wildest dreams, could never win a Triple Crown. DiMaggio just missed. DiMaggio did it as a Right Hander where Left-handers have it made at the plate. The Yankees hadn't even been to the World Series since 1932, but when he joined them in 1936 (after winning the MVP in the PCL and leading the San Francisco Seals to that title in 1935) they won that World Series and the next 3 after that. Later, with his heart not in it, and wanting to show how "American" he was (his parents had to carry "alien" cards with them and weren't allowed to leave 5 miles from their home during the war, while his father, a fisherman, had his boat siezed and wasn't allowed to go onto San Francisco Bay and earn his living), he joined the service and spent all of the '43, '44, and '45 seasons in the War at the prime ages of 28, 29, and 30.)
Sorry. But, people can't forget how great Joe DiMaggio was just because they never saw him play.
He not only had the 56-game hitting streak in the Majors, but a 61-game hitting streak in the Pacific Coast League, which, top to bottom, was at the time better than half of the teams currently in the Majors right now.
And, don't for a moment think that Griffey was better in the field than DiMaggio. He wasn't. DiMaggio covered just as much ground as Junior did. I saw Junior 1000 times during his best years in Seattle. Junior was great. DiMaggio was greater.
Another comparison...
From: The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs, by Bill Jenkinson:
For example, Joe DiMaggio was acutely handicapped by playing at Yankee Stadium. Every time he batted in his home field during his entire career, he did so knowing that it was physically impossible for him to hit a home run to the half of the field directly in front of him. If you look at a baseball field from foul line to foul line, it has a 90-degree radius. From the power alley in left center field (430 in Joe's time) to the fence in deep right center field (407 ft), it is 45-degrees. And Joe DiMaggio never hit a single home run over the fences at Yankee Stadium in that 45-degree graveyard. It was just too far. Joe was plenty strong; he routinely hit balls in the 425-foot range. But that just wasn't good enough in cavernous Yankee Stadium. Like Ruth, he benefited from a few easy homers each season due to the short foul line distances. But he lost many more than he gained by constantly hitting long fly outs toward center field. Whereas most sluggers perform better on their home fields, DiMaggio hit only 41 percent of his career home runs in the Bronx. He hit 148 homers at Yankee Stadium. If he had hit the same exact pattern of batted balls with a typical modern stadium as his home, he would have belted about 225 homers during his home field career.
Whereas, despite its cavernous interior, the Kingdome's field dimensions were relatively small. It had a reputation as a hitter's park where it was only 312 feet to the right field foul pole and only 362 feet to "deep" right Center. Those are all "normal" flyouts in DiMaggio's Yankee stadium. The area that Junior had to cover was so much smaller than the area that DiMaggio had to cover defensively, too.
His intelligence of the game was unsurpassed. He only stole 30 bases in his career (caught 9 times), but 5 of those thefts were of Home Base. Unbelievable.

I was flipping back and forth, so I didn't catch them all. I found this list on the web. It matches up with what I remember.
1. Mays
2. Cobb
3. Mantle
4. Speaker
5. DiMaggio
6. Griffey
7. the Duke
8. Edmonds
9. Puckett
I just always remember Griffey being called the Micheal Jordan of Baseball. I know that was a stretch, but he was a outstanding outfielder and has 600+ home runs. It just felt like he was slotted a little low. Thats why I wanted to turn it over to you guys.
Kingspoint, I am not trying to discredit DiMaggio, and I appreciate your long insightful post on him. And you have pretty much sold me on him. It sounds like he may be a bit under appreciated. As a little kid in the 90's we all heard about Mantle and Mays, but you really only heard about DiMaggio because of his hitting streak.
[QUOTE=Kingspoint;2028032]Dimaggio was special, and not because of being a Yankee.
Griffey isn't even close to DiMaggio....no where near him. DiMaggio couldn't be struck out (he homered as many times as he struck out in his career....nobody can say that who's had at least 25 home runs). Griffey, in his wildest dreams, could never win a Triple Crown. DiMaggio just missed.
So, to translate, Joe D couldnt never win a triple crown in his wildest dreams then either, since he never did it.

Juniors injury problems in the latter part of his career really hurt his total numbers. If he is healthy all those years in Cincinnati whos knows how crazy his total career numbers would have been. Definatly the best of his generation. Overall I think #6 is a good number.
While DiMaggio's stroke was an incredible torque of power, Junior's was always smooth as silk, one of the sweetest swings to every watch. I don't know how many times I've stopped what I'm doing to watch Junior swing the bat. I've never seen anyone else ever swing like either one of them. They both were unique. If Junior had taken steroids like his contemporaries, Junior would have hit 900 Homeruns.
FYI, Junior's teammate, Edgar Martinez, is the only Right-Hander to win 2 American League Batting Titles since Joe DiMaggio.

I like Puckett over Edmonds, and that is not because Edmonds has been a thorn in our side for years. Puckett to me was your every man. He was the little round guy that was pretty good in gym class but still wasn't picked early. He was the underdog, even if he shouldn't have been. Man I miss him.

Alcohol, when consumed by a careless manner, has a very serious impact on the brain and severely reduces a ruling. When a person has the habit of drinking more than just a social, let's say, every weekend or every day, that person probably would not admit to having a problem.
A person with a drinking problem will be, after the first few drinks, or drinks a glass of beer, are beginning to feel "high" and do not want to stop drinking. A person does not recognize the signal that he or she should stop, reached the limit. What people feel is the uncontrollable urge to go drinking.
This behaviour, which today is very common among college kids, mature men and women and even teenagers, can lead to DUI. DUI, in turn, can lead to the vehicle or watercraft accident or other serious accident to the injury or death of one or more persons.
When a group of friends, be they teenagers, young or mature adults, the plan went on the night of action where they would drink, the wise thing would be for them to appoint a driver for the trip home. The best choice will not use, if possible. Accidents can happen at any moment, but to guarantee the safe return of the group should take precautions. Too many lives lost in tragic accidents. Too many families are living the nightmare of losing loved ones in a road traffic accident. Too many families suffer, seeing close to one in dire pain amputation. All communications with careless drivers under the influence of alcohol.
Women tend to believe that the drunk than men when drinking the same amount of alcohol, despite their weight difference on the ground that women have less water in their system than men. Because alcohol mixes with body water, the same amount of alcohol becomes more highly concentrated in a woman's body. It is for this reason that the drinking limit is recommended for women less than men.
In addition, women who abuse alcohol more susceptible than men to fall victim to the relevant medical problems, such as breast cancer, colon cancer, brain damage, damage to the central nervous system, liver disease and other related medical problems.
The impact of alcohol varies with age. Less tolerance to the effects of alcohol puts older people at higher risk of falls, suffering fractures and other injuries that may occur as a result of drinking. They will also suffer from hearing and vision problems.
Older people tend to many drugs. Taking prescription or prescription medications can be extremely dangerous and can lead to death. Alcohol can cause medical conditions typical for the elderly, including heart conditions, high blood pressure, ulcers and poor circulation. Physical changes associated with aging can make the elderly feel "high" even after drinking a small amount of alcohol. Therefore, even if not prohibited alcohol, older men and women should be limited to no more than one drink every day.

Super Rugby preview: Defending champions Waikato Chiefs face in-form Western Force
Last Updated: 20/03/14 1:01pm
Defending champions Waikato Chiefs make the trek to in-form Western Force at nib Stadium in Perth on Saturday.
The Chiefs, who lead the New Zealand conference by five points from the Crusaders, will meet a Force side full of confidence after back-to-back wins over the Melbourne Rebels and Otago Highlanders.
Chiefs lost their first game in Perth in 2008, but have won on their last two visits, and the Force are eyeing a big scalp this weekend.
Wallaby forward Hugh McMeniman will return to the hosts starting line-up for their clash.
McMeniman, who travelled to New Zealand last week but was not named in the 31-29 win over the Highlanders, will make his return to the field after recovering from a back injury sustained against the Brumbies in Week Three.
The 22-Test Wallaby makes his comeback on the blindside flank, with Angus Cottrell moving to number eight in place of Ben McCalman, who will miss Saturday's clash after receiving a two-week suspension for a dangerous tackle in the match against the Highlanders.
Western Force head coach Michael Foley says his side is looking forward to the challenge of taking on the reigning champions.
"The Chiefs are the benchmark side in the competition," he said."Having said that, the opportunity to play them at home in front of our supporters is exciting."
Two-time champions Chiefs have used 30 players in just three matches this season, and again will be injury-hit for the clash.
Charlie Ngatai and Robbie Fruean were the Chiefs' preferred midfield pairing in wins over the Crusaders and Highlanders, but both will sit out the trip to Perth.
Sam Cane makes his return to Super Rugby though. Mike Fitzgerald starts at second-row alongside Cane, making his first appearance of the season.
In the backs, Asaeli Tikoirotuma reclaims the number 11 jersey with Tim Nanai-Williams joining the newly capped Tom Marshall in the midfield and All Blacks centurion Mils Muliaina taking his place on the other wing.
"We encounter a Western Force team that is in a confident mood and a team we have struggled to put away in the past so it is a challenge the boys are looking forward to," said coach Dave Rennie.
Force: 15 Jayden Hayward, 14 Luke Morahan, 13 Junior Rasolea, 12 Kyle Godwin, 11 Nick Cummins, 10 Sias Ebersohn, 9 Alby Mathewson, 1 Pek Cowan, 2 Nathan Charles, 3 Kieran Longbottom, 4 Sam Wykes, 5 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 6 Hugh McMeniman, 7 Matt Hodgson, 8 Angus Cottrell.
Replacements: 16 Heath Tessmann, 17 Tetera Faulkner, 18 Ollie Hoskins, 19 Adam Coleman, 20 Brynard Stander, 21 Ian Prior, 22 Zack Holmes, 23 Marcel Brache.
Chiefs: 15 Gareth Anscombe, 14 Mils Muliaina, 13 Tim Nanai-Williams, 12 Tom Marshall, 11 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 10 Aaron Cruden, 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 1 Jamie Mackintosh, 2 Mahonri Schwalger, 3 Ben Tameifuna, 4 Michael Fitzgerald, 5 Brodie Retallick, 6 Liam Messam, 7 Sam Cane, 8 Liam Squire.
Replacements: 16 Rhys Marshall, 17 Pauliasi Manu, 18 Josh Hohneck, 19 Kane Thompson, 20 Tanerau Latimer, 21 Augustine Pulu, 22 Andrew Horrell, 23 Anton Lienert-Brown.

ca 35 cubic ft.
The Medical Department was established at Transylvania University shortly after the incorporation in 1799, with Lexington physicians Samuel Brown and Frederick Ridgely appointed as professors. Although the department was largely inactive until 1815, it experienced rapid growth following the appointment of President Horace Holley in 1818, attracting an excellent teaching staff which included Charles Caldwell, Benjamin W. Dudley, and Daniel Drake; and making sizable expenditures for its medical library and equipment. In its years of operation the department enrolled nearly 6,500 students of whom 1,881 received medical degrees. During the period from 1824 to 1835 the school's enrollment was the second largest among American medical schools. The 1830s were marked by stagnation in the economic vitality of Lexington, in contrast with the rapid growth of Louisville and Cincinnati, both of which competed with Transylvania for prospective students. In 1837 half the medical faculty left to join the Louisville Medical Institute, led by Dean Charles Caldwell. The remainder of the department's history was one of gradual decline which culminated with its closing in 1859. The department was revived briefly in the late 1890s and closed for the last time in 1907. The Law Department of Transylvania University was also established soon after the university's incorporation as the first law school in the West. Among the early faculty were Henry Clay, Jesse Bledsoe, and Willian T. Barry. Many graduates of the department entered politics being elected to various positions including more than 100 members of the United States Congress and twenty governors of various states. After a period of decline the department closed in 1858. In the years that followed it would be revived periodically, closing for the final time in 1912.
This collection is comprised of faculty and trustee minutes, matriculation records, student dissertations, compiled lists of graduates and other materials from the Medical and Law Departments of Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. Materials from the Medical Department include an indexed faculty minute book (1819-1849); matriculation records (1819-1859); student dissertations with student index (1820-1859); a record book of purchases made in London by Charles Caldwell (1812); and student lecture notes (1823-1842).

The Corner Tex-Mix, a new Latin fusion restaurant in Arlington's Nauck neighborhood, has opened at at 1621 S. Walter Reed Drive.
The eatery brings the flavors of Salvadoran, Mexican, American and Mediterranean food to its tables. The restaurant is colorful, with a bright red and green walls and colorful lights hanging over the bar. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has seating both inside and outside.
"What I can say is that we're trying to do something new in the area for the residents of Arlington with good dishes and a lot of different flavors they can come over and try," head chef Leo Medrano said.
The food is fresh, Medrano said, with sauces and salad dressings, such as the bleu cheese or chipotle barbecue ranch, made in the restaurant daily.
Medrano recommends new patrons try one of the four salad options, but his favorite is the bib lettuce salad. The bib lettuce salad has bib lettuce, tomato, red onion, bacon and blue cheese. His other favorite meal is the crab cake sandwich.
"We offer some healthy food and delicious and good quality," Medrano said.
Medrano also has a different special plate every day, he said. His favorite dishes to create include Salmon or Mahi Mahi.
"You can mix it with fruit or vegetables," Medrano said, "and it tastes delicious either way."
In a press release, The Corner Tex-Mix said it will be a "a big change from the old establishment at the same location" and will bring chef-driven food to a Nauck community that "has been historically void of any good restaurants."
Previous restaurants that have come and gone at the 1621 S. Walter Reed Drive location include Las Delicias Restaurante and, more recently, El Manatial III.

The Arlington Food Assistance Center is working to expand a program to help hungry kids, just as a report is released indicating childhood food insecurity is increasing rapidly in Arlington.
Last week, Fair Share Education Fund released a report showing eligibility for free or reduced price school lunches is growing faster in suburbs like Arlington than in cities. Although the report focused on 2010-2011, an Arlington Food Assistance Center spokeswoman confirmed the organization still saw a huge increase in Arlington families using its services for the 2014 fiscal year, which ended on June 30.
AFAC served 1,400 families each week as of July 2013, and that bumped up to 2,000 families each week by this summer, which is a 40 percent increase. That equals about 5,000 individuals every week, of which 36 percent are children.
AFAC staff believes two factors contributing to the increase were last year's government shutdown and the reduction in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.
"Last year in November, the SNAP cuts went into effect and we immediately saw an increase in the number of families coming to us," said AFAC Director of Development Joy Myers. "The average reduction per family was $36 per month. That may not seem like a lot, but when you're scraping to get by and every penny counts and you're $36 short, you're going to try to find all your resources. When they get food from us, they can take that money and pay rent or gas and electric bills, or buy medicine."
One way AFAC is trying to combat the growing food insecurity for Arlington's children is by expanding its Backpack Buddies program, which began serving homeless children a few years ago. This year, the pilot program will open up to children in need at four elementary schools — Barcroft, Barrett, Randolph and Carlin Springs.
Kids enrolled in the program receive food on Fridays to take home and eat on Saturday and Sunday when they're away from school. The kids can choose to take the pre-packaged goods home in their own backpacks, or borrow one and return it on Monday. The program is anonymous to prevent embarrassing children who are signed up. AFAC volunteers drop off the food and backpacks to school cafeteria workers and that's where kids registered with the program can pick up their weekend supplies.
"We're trying to de-stigmatize it as much as possible for kids to get the food that they need," said Myers. "We're also hoping because there are so many people struggling with food insecurity who aren't speaking out, we hope this is a way for families to hear about our other services. We don't want anybody in Arlington going hungry."
Children at the four schools will take home an information packet when school starts, and their parents have to register through the Arlington Public Schools Office of Food and Nutrition Services.
Although AFAC always can use monetary and food donations, it especially could use help with Backpack Buddies because the pre-packaged, microwaveable kids' meals are more expensive than other donated items. To donate, volunteer or set up a food drive, log on to the AFAC website for more information.

County Fair Adds Pentagon City Shuttle — The Arlington County Fair this year is adding a new shuttle option.

(Updated at 4:45 p.m.) More than 40,000 attendees — a record — flooded the streets of Ballston Sunday afternoon for sunshine and lots of food and drink during Taste of Arlington, according to the event's organizer.
Circa restaurant in Clarendon took home the day's award for best appetizer with its Cobb lettuce wraps. The Green Spoon won the award for best entrée with its Kofte meatballs with tzatziki, spiced kale. and chickpeas. Kool Zone Ice & Treats took home the prize for best dessert.
The Ballston Business Improvement District, which organized the event, estimated that more than 25,000 ticket booklets were sold in advance. The tickets let attendees sample food from 46 restaurants, beer from a dozen breweries, and wine from Barefoot.
Festival-goers also got a chance to vote for the next restaurant that will be coming to Ballston as part of the Ballston Business Improvement District's Restaurant Challenge. Eight chefs, competing for a year of free restaurant space in Ballston and a $275,000 interest-free loan, entered the competition as semifinalists.
Visitors voted for their favorite on their smartphones and Chef Victor Albisu and restaurateur Christina Campos were chosen as the winners. Albisu, who owns Del Campo in the District and Taco Bamba in Falls Church, served a variety of Mexican street-style food; Campos served Basque seafood stew. Albisu and Campos will compete head-to-head in June in a Top Chef-style cookoff to determine the winner of the Restaurant Challenge.

Happy New Year, Arlington! It's been a while, but I'm back.
What better way to start 2014 than with another controversial topic? Kids, food trucks, tipping; you name it, and I will take it on. Well, probably not tipping ever again. That was brutal. Point is, it's fun to explore some of the more talked about areas of what we do. So what's first on the list for 2014? Food allergies.
Food allergies can present the most significant challenges to successful service in a restaurant. In some cases, we are told that the literal life of a guest is being placed in our hands for the duration of the meal. No pressure, Chef. It's hard enough for us to cook a steak medium rare some nights. It's hard for the guest as well. To constantly have to interrogate the staff about ingredients, to always need to alter the menu and to live in constant anxiety that the kitchen got it right must be terribly stressful.
Working with customers with mild to severe to fatal allergies is something that we do on a nightly basis. In fact, it was this past New Year's Eve in the dining room at Eventide that the idea for this column came about. Faced with a limited choice tasting menu, a guest was unsure if she would even be able to stay and eat. She informed us that she had a fatal dairy allergy and was carrying an EpiPen in her purse in case she went into anaphylactic shock. She also had a gluten allergy that while not fatal was serious.
Her dining companion's New Year's Eve wish was to not have to stab her friend Pulp Fiction-style as the clock struck midnight.
My answer? Let's look at the menu and figure out how to make it work. That was not easy. We use more than our fair share of butter and there is flour in many more dishes than one might imagine. Step by step we went through the menu, consulted with Chef and tried to figure out a way to make it work on the fly.
That was an example of the most challenging situation — the menu is in front of the guest, they are stuck, and we are learning of a severe allergy as they are trying to find something to eat. It is unavoidable at times to be sure, but it can make things really tough.
On an average weekend night, we have four to five tables in the dining room that have some type of allergy. Is that on the rise? I don't know. It seems like it, but many allergies — gluten being the primary example — have been historically undiagnosed. Regardless, it is something we deal with on a regular basis, and a conversation with some helpful tips might be a good idea. Allergy sufferers usually know exactly what they need and what they want, and they are usually very good at presenting their needs early and explicitly. However, they are not always the ones making the reservations or booking the events, so this information could be helpful for non-sufferers making the plans as well.
- Plan ahead. The earlier the information can get to the restaurant the better. You can include it in the notes when you book on OpenTable, or you can mention it when you call in. Be as specific as you are able. Exactly what the allergy is and the severity is important. If the diner has preferred substitutions, that is helpful as well. This applies to dietary choices as well as allergies (vegan, vegetarian).
- Do your homework. Everyone has menus online now. Yes, it is true that restaurants are notorious for not being completely current, but you can at least get an idea what the venue offers and what might work as a substitute in advance.
- We love the cards. Many guests arrive and hand a small card to the server that lists the allergies. They are clear and concise, and they go right to the Chef. That eliminates the potentially dangerous opportunity that something might be lost in translation.
- Be clear about the severity. By all means be overcautious, but also be conscious that there is a very big difference between a fatal shellfish allergy and a mild intolerance to cilantro. Restaurants should take all allergies seriously and honor all requests that they can, but if you overstate the severity, you could limit what you can have. With a fatal allergy, we will often rule out serving you any dish or ingredient that has been in the vicinity or even the same floor as the potential offender. With a mild allergy, we might just have to remove a garnish.
- Be a little patient with the kitchens. If we hear in advance that you are coming, there is a better chance we can come up with something more interesting for you. If we hear about it the moment of, there is only so much the kitchen can do. Also, sometimes in order to cover ourselves, if there is the slightest chance of any contamination, and there is a fatal allergy, we might just say "sorry, we can't do such and such." It's the last thing anyone in the hospitality business wants to do, but sometimes we might not be able to accommodate a request.

Lyon Park Bat Turns Out to Be Something Else — A Lyon Park resident called animal control officers late last month after a startling discovery: a bat inside his or her home. There was only one problem — the responding animal control officer found that the "bat" was actually a sweatband. It's not the first time something like this has happened. Previously, a balloon had been mistaken for a bat, a ski hat lying on the road was mistaken for a dead cat, and a "mangy, emaciated cat" turned out to be stuffed animal. [DCist]
GOP Trying to Find Candidate for Special Election — The upcoming County Board special election to replace the retiring Chris Zimmerman could give Arlington Republicans their best chance of winning a seat on the Board since the late 1990s, the last time any non-Democrat served as a Board member. "We could really pull a surprise," said Arlington County Republican Committee chairman Charles Hokanson. [Sun Gazette]

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, the need for volunteers is especially high.
There are numerous opportunities for donating your time to a good cause around Arlington, including serving Thanksgiving meals.
In addition to those listed below, other volunteer opportunities throughout the county can be found on the Volunteer Arlington website.
- Thanksgiving Celebration Hosts — Helpers are needed from 11:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 26, for the Clarendon House Thanksgiving celebration. Volunteers will assist with tasks such as decorating, cleaning up and preparing or serving food. Clarendon House is a community-based rehabilitation program for adults diagnosed with serious mental illness. Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age and must show compassion and caring for, as well as comfort interacting with and learning from, adults with serious mental illness. Volunteers should have a positive attitude, be responsible, use good judgment and maintain strict client confidentiality. For more information or to sign up, contact Susan Stolpe via email or at 703-228-1760.
- Deliver and Serve Thanksgiving Dinners — The Knights of Columbus seeks people to help ensure all members of the community — particularly the needy, elderly and home-alone — can celebrate Thanksgiving with a hot meal. Volunteers are needed on Thursday, November 28, to serve and deliver meals for around 3,000 people. Volunteers should be flexible and willing to help out where needed. Those who volunteer as deliverers should have their own vehicle to transport meals. Contact Mary Jo Galvin by email or by calling 703-532-8498.
- Food Drive Hosts — The Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) seeks residents in condo and apartment buildings to host holiday food drives. The volunteers would coordinate with building management to host a food drive in November and/or December to benefit AFAC. Volunteers would be provided with food collection bins and fliers that can be posted around the building. Those interested in helping should contact Danielle Rampton at [email protected]
More than a hundred people swarmed the Z-Burger near Clarendon this afternoon (Tuesday), hoping to make the best of the first day of the federal government shutdown by scoring a free cheeseburger.
Z-Burger (3325 Wilson Blvd) is one of several restaurants in Arlington offering specials to workers with government IDs to try to ease the burden of workers forced to take a furlough after government shut down at midnight tonight. Z-Burger is offering free burgers to workers with government IDs from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Jaleo (2250 Crystal Drive) is offering free sandwiches to government workers with valid IDs from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. every day of the shutdown, owner/chef José Andrés tweeted last night. District Taco (5723 Lee Highway) also announced that their brick-and-mortar store at 5723 Lee Hwy would be offering a free taco to government employees on furlough.
The Washington Post has a full list of specials restaurants in the D.C. area are offering during the shutdown.
Many of those waiting in the line that snaked all the way around the shop said they had resigned themselves to the shutdown well before Monday's deadline. When one Department of Defense worker, who declined to provide his name, was asked if he was frustrated, he shook his head.
"It happens so often that if you get frustrated every time, you'll get an ulcer," he said. Defense employees began their second furlough of the year Tuesday morning.
Another government worker said after all the deadlines Congress has waited until the 11th hour to avoid, the shutdown was almost a relief, he said.
"It's about time they gave us a day off," he said. "It does suck for people living paycheck to paycheck, but I don't expect it to last more than a week."
A National Science Foundation worker said multiple times that he wished that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) — a pivotal Senate Republican in the buildup to the shutdown — would "go back to Canada," before lamenting the millions of dollars in grants in jeopardy at the NSF if the shutdown lasts an extended period of time.
"It's so nice out, I want to use this time to go to the [National] Mall, some museums, maybe get my passport updated," he said. "Oh wait, it's all closed."
Starting with lunch today, Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week has officially begun.
Seventeen Arlington restaurants are listed on the Restaurant Week website. Participating restaurants will offer customers prix fixe menus at $20.13 for lunch and $35.13 for dinner.
Since earlier this month, several additional restaurants have signed on to participate, including Mad Rose Tavern at 3100 Clarendon Blvd, which is only offering dinner specials, and Sushi Rock at 1900 Clarendon Blvd, offering both lunch and dinner.

The 16th annual Clarendon Day festival, in September, will include a new addition: the official D.C. Chili Cookoff.
The cookoff is moving to Clarendon after its usual venue, the DC101 Chili Cookoff at RFK Stadium, apparently didn't include an actual chili competition this past May. The event will now be sponsored by Hard Times Cafe.
"We wanted to carry on the D.C. Chili tradition since we've been involved with it for the past 33 years," said Hard Times co-founder Jim Parker. "The cookoff is sanctioned by the International Chili Society (ICS) and we expect to host competition chili cooks from all over the East Coast."
Parker said past chili cookoffs have consisted of about 30 cooking teams competing in three categories: red chili, chili verde and salsa. This year, however, a new category, called "homestyle," will be added.
"This category is more like the chili your mother used to make," Parker said.
The teams will set up on the morning of Clarendon Day and cook chili on site. A panel of judges will start tasting the chili around 1:00 p.m., and the winners will be announced around 5:00 p.m. The winners will be the final qualifiers for the World's Championship Chili Cookoff in California in October.
Festival-goers will be able to try free samples of chili after the judges get their fill.
"Once the chilies (and salsa) are turned in to the judges the general public may taste and vote for the chili or salsa they like the best — as long as it lasts," said Parker.
Clarendon Day will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 28, in the area around the Clarendon Metro station. In addition to chili, the event will feature live music; food from local restaurants; beer, wine and other beverages; arts and crafts exhibitors; kids' activities; and booths manned by local businesses and organizations.
Before the festival starts, the 5th annual Clarendon Day 10K/5K and Kids Dash will be held. Registration for the race is now open.
Matt Hussmann, Executive Director of the Clarendon Alliance, which organizes Clarendon Day, says the chili cookoff will be a welcome addition to the day's festivities.
"We're very excited about having the D.C. Chili Cookoff," said Matt Hussmann. "We're hoping for a great event."
Whereas the DC101 Chili Cookoff was a music-centric event, Hussmann said that cookoff organizers were looking for a new venue that will allow the chili to stand on its own.
"They really wanted to re-calibrate what they're doing," he said. "They wanted to focus on the chili and on family-friendly events. We're pretty happy about it."
Hussmann said other Clarendon Day details, like the live music lineup, are still being worked out. One notable subtraction this year: the Virginia Hospital Center Foundation "Family Fun Day" attractions that have been featured in previous years.
Ballston is getting a little more Belgian, thanks to the opening of Mussel Bar and Grille (800 N. Glebe Road) this week.
Today and tomorrow the restaurant is holding its soft opening for invited guests and will open to the public for dinner on Thursday. Friday will be the first day it will open for lunch.
This is the third Mussel Bar and Grille location, joining others in Bethesda and Atlantic City. Owner and chef Brian McBride hopes to expand to as many as 10 locations. He thought Arlington seemed perfect for the newest restaurant.
"This Arlington area seems to be booming," McBride said. "This is going to be a fun spot. It's designed to be a neighborhood gathering place. It's not pretentious, it's very casual."
As the restaurant's name implies, mussels are the house specialty. Mussel Bar and Grille has exclusive rights in the D.C. area to Penn Cove mussels. That variety comes from the oldest mussel farm in the United States, and McBride says they have plumper, sweeter meat.
"We pay a lot more for those mussels than the standard P.E.I.s [Prince Edward Island mussels]," said McBride, "Just so we can have the best mussels we can get."
Other seafood dishes include Maryland crabcakes and lobster rolls. The restaurant also offers options for customers wishing to munch on something other than seafood, such as brick oven fired pizzas, steak frites and a lamb meatball sandwich.
Chefs at Mussel Bar and Grille concentrate on old fashioned food preparation techniques, according to McBride. He notes that although each dish will look modern, no shortcuts will be taken, unlike other chain restaurants.
Along with the mussels, the restaurant will focus on Belgian beers. The bar offers 18 beers on tap and more than 100 others in bottles. Bartenders will be able to suggest beer selections that complement each customer's dish.
"The goal is to introduce as many different kinds of Belgian beer to Arlington as we possibly can," said McBride.
Bar Manager Adam Jarvis pointed out that the restaurant also serves up specialty drinks highlighting the time when the Bob Peck Chevrolet dealership sat on the land. The drinks bear the names of Chevy models like El Camino, Bel Air and Camaro.
"This is a big thing, to keep the Arlington community, and the history of Arlington as well," said Jarvis.
Mussel Bar and Grille will have happy hour specials every day of the week from 3:00-6:30 p.m.
"I think people should be happy on the weekend," McBride said. "It shouldn't just be a Monday through Friday thing."
The goal is to accommodate everyone at the restaurant, from bar goers to business people to families. Customers can sit in the dining area, order at the bar or enjoy the outdoor seating.
"Customers rule," said McBride. "We don't set too many rules."
One rule the restaurant does abide by, however, is limiting the number of customers allowed in at one time for the first few weeks. McBride said it gives staff a chance to acclimate to the new system and smooth out any issues. He expects to go "full blown" in September and will begin offering weekend brunch at that time. For now, the restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday, and will begin serving on Mondays after Labor Day.
(Updated at 12:45 p.m.) Metropolitan Washington Restaurant Week runs from Aug. 19 to 25, giving diners a unique chance to try some of the area's best restaurants on a relative bargain.
Thirteen Arlington restaurants are participating in the festivities. Each one offers a prix fixe, three-course menu for lunch and/or dinner, with the lunch menu running at $20.13 and dinner at $35.13. For a full listing of all the restaurants in the region participating in restaurant week or to reserve a table, visit their website.

The Second Annual Arlington County July 4th Celebration at Long Bridge Park is just one week away, and we now know the headlining act will be a multi-platinum selling rock band.
Revelers can listen to The Verve Pipe while waiting to watch the fireworks display on the National Mall, which is expected to begin at 9:10 p.m. The band is known for its 90s hit "The Freshmen."
The event runs from 3:00-10:00 p.m. next Thursday. Live entertainment kicks off at 3:30 p.m. with WAMMIE award winning band "The Grandsons," followed by the Army Voices ensemble from the U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" and then D.C. area party band "Jeff from Accounting."
Family friendly activities include a hula hoop contest, potato sack races, kickball games, line dancing, moon bounces and face painting. Local food trucks will also roll in to feed the masses.
More details about the bands and all of the activities offered at the celebration can be found online.
Two other popular places to watch the fireworks from Arlington include the Marine Corps Memorial and the Air Force Memorial. Police will be working traffic control in those areas in addition to helping near Long Bridge Park. ACPD has not yet announced a list of road closures.
Anyone heading out to celebrate is reminded that grills, fireworks and alcoholic beverages are prohibited on county and federal park lands.

After graduation from UNC in 1995, I began working in civil litigation for Anderson, Cox and Ennis and continued there when it morphed into Anderson, Daniel and Coxe.
In 2005, I started a new firm, Hodges & Coxe, PC, with a friend and fellow attorney I met while back in college, Wes Hodges. At Hodges & Coxe, and before with Anderson, Daniel and Coxe, I represented both plaintiffs and defendants with all types of civil litigation, including personal injury, medical malpractice, construction disputes, employment and business disputes, and other contract disputes.

Let's get right to it.
No one can prove that "God" or any variation thereof the concept is real.
No one can prove that "God" or any variation thereof the concept is NOT real.
All arguments are moot without assuming a "given".
How can I say all this with certainty?
BECAUSE NO ONE CAN PROVE THAT THEY'RE NOT DREAMING RIGHT NOW, with fabricated memories and all.
No matter what, FAITH is required just to participate in whatever you think is reality.
Both atheists and God-believers base their beliefs on FAITH in experiential data.
A true atheist "lacks a belief" and that is a perfectly honest position to hold. However, the rabid atheists who argue endlessly that "there is no God" are taking the same leap of faith that the proselytizing Christians are.
SO--is there a GOD?
My experiential data (a near-death experience that was seemingly as "real" as anything else I've experienced) says YES.
That's why I believe in God.
But I'd be a liar if I said that my NDE provides "proof"--even to myself. After all, my dreams are as "real" as anything even when I'm walking on the ceiling and lightsaber fighting and flying a MIG--all with a head full of outlandish memories.
So...all of you know-it-alls arguing FOR or AGAINST the concept of "God" need to
because your arguments ARE DEMONSTRABLY FLAWED.
