This was the beautiful view of the rose gardens as we arrived at the NetKal Gala event….. gathering of Asian Americans in entertainment.
Styled by my favorite fashion designer Linda Loudermilk of all time, plus…she's all about luxury eco! Makeup and hair by the best artist ever, Dorit Genazzani.
The beautiful Lisa Ling (Oprah Winfrey Network, Our America) and her husband Dr. Paul Song.
Bryan Tee from Fast and the Furious. I can count all of 2 Asian actors in film. At least they're representing! Yeah.
From the TV show Dexter, actor C.S. Lee. Okay, this makes 2 Asian actors…one TV, one film, so far. I can think of one more Asian male from TV. Hopefully, you can too.
The NetKal Gala was held at USC at the Annenberg Center.
The event was catered by my friends at Good Gracious Catering. I met Pauline and Joanne at Sunset Magazine's annual Celebration weekend event last spring, where I was invited along with Chef Rick Bayless (Frontera), Candace Nelson (Sprinkles), and Govind Armstrong (8oz Burger). So impressive they included vegan raw along side these TV celebrities.
The food was presented beautifully. And, my friends hooked me up with a vegan meal, of course!
Check out this space, there was a pool and water fountain in the center. It was cold that night though. The ladies were all freezing in their cocktail dresses. I had my coat on for dinner. Dinner was accompanied by performances by 3 Korean pop stars. Sort of made me giggle. USA and Korea entertainment is very different. An incredible event. And great conference the following day with discussions and inspiration for ways to encourage more diversity in the media. Some said it'll take a few years. I'm not holding my breath though….
Thank you Nathan Nowack for these gorgeous photos. Please visit Nathan Nowack for more photos from this event.
I visited Erewhon Natural Foods in Los Angeles on May 28, 2011 along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. Erewhon is my favorite Raw Food store. These beautiful photos are courtesy of the very talented Sherman Lee at http://www.digitalslimages.com.
Juan Hernandez, the store manager, makes sure to offer the largest range of Raw Food products and brand, and has created the nexus for Raw Foods here in LA. Juan was one of my earliest supporters of my SmartMonkey Foods packaged and prepared foods products.
Each year's visit celebrating my new book always draws a packed house. I love Erewhon!
I showed everyone how easy it is to make my Mushroom "Bul Go Gi", from Ani's Raw Food Asia, page 186, using mushrooms marinated in tamari or nama shoyu (raw soy sauce), toasted sesame oil, asian pear, and sweetener of choice like agave or brown rice syrup. We topped off these beautiful Lettuce Wraps, from page 188, with my version of a traditional Korean Gochujang Sauce, page 225, made with miso, sesame oil, chile powder, and sweetener like agave.
Following my food demo and Q+A…next, I get to sign books and meet people 1 on 1!
This tour, many people had me sign multiple copies of Ani's Raw Food Asia for friends and family. I do love when people bring their entire collection for me to sign too…..a blessing for me.
My friends Ron Gilmore and Caroline Jue create an awesome animated series called Rawman & Green-Girl. They are doing great work educating and sharing information about our food sources.
Elaine R. Johnson hand delivered this beautiful porcelain sculpture she made to me all the way from Arizona with her mom. Elaine is amazingly talented. I can't even begin to express my gratitude for such a beautiful gift.
This is the beautifully talented Elaine R. Johnson. She told me how challenging porcelain is to work with….cracking as it dries, or cracking out of the kiln during baking. A labour of love, it shows!
On May 19. 2011 I got to visit Seattle along my tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia. First stop was with host Margaret Larson at King 5 TV's NewDay Northwest Show. Everyone in the studio audience received a copy of Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Next was Evergreen Radio's Kitchen Corner Show where I had a pleasantly challenging conversation with host Jo Ann Henderson. Jo was skeptical at first, but I hope I was able to convince her that raw foods are simply a way to enjoy more whole, fresh, organic ingredients.
At the same time, another pre-recorded radio program aired on Seattle radio where I spoke with host Keesha Ewers on her Healthy You! Radio Show.
By lunch I was hungry for some local raw food treats, and we stopped at Thrive Cafe for a meet-and-great and book signing, and they fed me delicious salad, green juice, and desserts.
Next stop was KOMO Newsradio where we aired during afternoon drive-time traffic. The hosts Herb Weisbaum & Jane Shannon are already into raw foods, and were already making their own kale chips. I love how main stream kale chips have become!
Our final destination for the day was the Woodmark Hotel and Yacht Club in Kirkland, on the lake. This was the view from my room, you can see snow topped mountains in the distance.
The Woodmark Hotel hosted what they call "Happy Hour and a Half". They made 2 recipes from Ani's Raw Food Asia, I gave a talk, answered questions, and then signed books. It was another clear, sunny, dry, warm day in the Seattle. After this final event, I went on a long walk along the lake front. The air was fresh, clean, and crisp. And I felt grateful for all the wonderful people who welcomed me to their beautiful city.
This was the awesome lady who made this day happen for me, Joy. In addition to shuttling me around town, she also hooked me up with a food assistant so that I didn't have to carry all my food, plates, props with me on the airplane! Plus, she kept the car stocked with cut, prepared veggies of all sorts for me to snack on all day long.
This was Joy's assistant Lee, who had shopped for props and ingredients, and helped me prep for my TV appearance. Thank you Joy and Lee!! You've officially spoiled me.
My first stop in Portland, OR was to shoot a 6-minute segment with host Dave Anderson for AM Northwest on KATU TV. I show Dave how to make a Vegetable Nori Roll from Ani's Raw Food Asia. Dave's lost a ton of weight since I saw him along my last tour, and looks great. He said he cut out processed foods and cut back on alcohol.
Here I am above with AM Northwest co-host Helen Raptis.
Next stop was Yummy Tummy Cafe for a lunchtime fuel-up on a gallon of Norwalk green juice; chocolate covered jungle peanuts; and a ruben sandwich made from flax seeds, mushrooms, and sauerkraut. Omg, seriously yummy tummy! And, a book signing meet-and-greet. From here, I was shuttled over to the KBOO radio station for an interview, and then finally ended up at Powell's Books downtown for a talk and book signing.
I got to visit Powell's rare book room, where I sat and signed a stack of my books, including Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Peter Hanfileti is a very dear, long-time family friend from when I was in middle school…that's so long ago! He's an MD and acupuncturist in Vancouver, WA.
Kris Dyer may look familiar because he's in my first book, Ani's Raw Food Kitchen, which I wrote when I still lived in Portland. Kris was also one of our SmartMonkeys! I love tour because it allows me to visit friends I haven't seen in a while. The weather was dry and sunny, just like last year in Portland! I love that city especially when the weather is gorgeous. Plus, the city's blanketed with WiFi.
Watch my debut on Los Angeles TV with ABC 7′s Health Coach Lori Corbin. I show her 5 raw food recipes that have gone mainstream including my Zucchini Pasta (featured in Food Network Magazine), Nut Mylks (like Almond Milk), Green Smoothies, Kale Chips (from Ani's Raw Food Essentials), and Seaweed Chips (from Ani's Raw Food Asia).
Watch the 3-minute video, and learn how raw foods helps with weight loss too!
The 1st stop along my book tour for Ani's Raw Food Asia was at Santa Monica Place at Artisanal LA on April 16, 2011. Here are 4 short videos from my talk, Q+A, and book signing:
1) Ani's Raw Food Asia – I love organic, local, seasonal foods
2) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Probiotics, Happiness, Longevity
3) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Easy ways to add more raw to any diet!
4) Ani's Raw Food Asia – Recipe inspirations and sources for protein.
I had so much fun celebrating the pre-launch of Ani's Raw Food Asia at Artisanal LA in Santa Monica.
All of these beautiful photos were taken by the amazing Sherman Lee. Thanks Sherman!!
It was a weekend full of local and seasonal gourmet foods (though way too much bacon! – what's up with bacon these days?) and great expert panels and talks.
I love this fish eye photo, it was a full crowd with great people old and new to raw foods and the raw food diet and lifestyle. Thanks to the wonder woman organizer Shawna Dawson for all her support, for announcing my talk over the loud speaker, and for putting me and Ani's Raw Food Asia in their printed program.
Q+A is my favorite part of my appearances because I get to listen and interact with my new friends.
It's always so nice to have my brother Max and my family with me at my events.
This lovely lady kept asking me about how to learn to make raw food. I say if you're interested in making food, you have to learn how to make all foods first. Then you can translate it into raw food prep.
Libby drove all the way up from San Diego with her friends just to grab an early copy of Ani's Raw Food Asia.
Please check my homepage and also my calendar of events for upcoming events and stops along my book tour. Hope to see you all very soon. xoxo

An Ordinary Hero: Story of David Goldberg, WWII Canadian Spitfire Pilot
We are very pleased to welcome local author David New as he speaks about his new book, An Ordinary Hero. In it he recounts the fascinating story of Hamiltonian Dave Goldberg, a WWII fighter pilot and recipient of the prestegious Distinguished Flying Cross medal. From his exploits in the European theatre of war, to his daring escape from the Germans through Spain after his plane was shot down in France, New relates Goldbergs story as captivating as any thriller novel. In contrast to other books about the air battles of WWII, An Ordinary Hero focuses on the subjective: sights, sounds, emotions, feelings, thoughts. The thrill of flying. The horror of war. This is a special event that you wont want to miss.
A limited number of copies of An Ordinary Hero will be available for sale after David's presentation. The price is $23.00, cash or cheque.
David New is a Hamilton writer and artist who has earned graduate degrees from both McMaster and Princeton University. He has taught at the university level and published several articles. An Ordinary Hero is his 4th book.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 3, Episode 19: 10 Burning Questions
We love all of Pretty Little Liars' constant thrills and surprises, but at the end of every episode, it always seems as though we have more questions than answers.
To that end, we've tackled the 10 biggest questions from this week's episode in order to figure out what's really going on in Rosewood and to pick up on any and all clues.
Here are 10 questions from Season 3, Episode 19: "What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted."
1. What were Melissa and CeCe talking about in the flashback?
We're not sure Jason's (Drew Van Acker) memory can be trusted, but he appears to have seen Melissa (Torrey DeVitto) and CeCe (Vanessa Ray) talking on the night of Ali's (Sasha Pieterse) murder. (Way to keep this info to yourself, dude!) It sounds like Melissa tells CeCe that something "takes you where you have to go." So perhaps CeCe killed Ali, and Melissa is helping her escape? It's not a stretch to think Melissa wouldn't exactly mourn Ali's loss.
2. Why was CeCe wearing Ali's yellow top?
When Jason first sees CeCe from behind, he assumes it's Ali — which is an easy mistake to make, since CeCe is wearing the yellow top which Ali was wearing on the night she was murdered. Huh? We know Ali has good taste in clothes, but taking her apparel — or dressing exactly like her — is a little much. Did CeCe want to be mistaken for Ali for some reason?
3. Did CeCe have a fling with Wilden?
The fact that CeCe was in the Cape May photo with Detective Wilden (Bryce Johnson) after claiming not to know him makes us wonder what she was hiding. We're thinking CeCe might have had a fling with Wilden, and perhaps she wasn't happy when Wilden supposedly knocked Ali up. And on a side note, how on earth does Wilden get so much action?
4. Why did CeCe lie to Aria about her car getting towed?
CeCe had us scratching our heads throughout the episode, as there was no real explanation for why she left Wes and Aria (Lucy Hale) alone and claimed to have her car towed. Was she trying to get Wes and Aria to hook up because she has a history with Ezra (Ian Harding)? Or was she trying to keep Aria occupied while she engaged in some "A" business? Suddenly, we don't feel so bad about the wine spilling on CeCe's rug.
5. Where did Jason go?
Our first assumption when Jason went missing from his hospital bed was that he was yet another of A's kidnapping victims. But wouldn't we have heard Jason scream — let alone that he seems a bit too heavy to just whisk away? So if he left voluntarily, was he afraid of something happening to him — or was he perhaps meeting up with someone? Either way, the fact that we got to see him shirtless in that hospital bed was not a bad thing.
6. Who put the whiskey on Jason's porch — and which two "A" team members were drinking whiskey at the end?
We're not sure who put an insane amount of whiskey bottles on Jason's porch, but plenty of people have chided him for his previous substance issues in the past, including Ali, CeCe, and Jenna (Tammin Sursok). Also, Ezra has been commended for his good taste in scotch in the past — and Wren (Julian Morris) likes the sauce as well — so those two gents are possibilities, too.
7. Why did Wren visit Spencer?
We've also had suspicions that Wren and Mona (Janel Parrish) are in cahoots, especially now that she apparently sent Wren to check up on Spencer (Troian Bellisario). Is it possible Mona actually sent Wren to talk to Melissa — or possibly torment Melissa — but he couldn't because Spencer was there? Come to think of it, Wren should probably tell Aria about the perils of dating two people in the same family.
8. Is there a hidden meaning to the message on the sunglasses?
It's hard for us to see something involving a pair of sunglasses and not think of Jenna. So when Spencer gets a message from "A" on a pair of shades, we immediately wonder if this is a hint at Jenna's involvement with the "A" team. By the way, if Jenna isn't using her designer sunglasses anymore, we totally want to buy them off of her.
9. Could Wes be working with his mom?
We do kind of love Wes, but we're still suspicious of the guy — given that he was the one who got the "Ezra's son" ball rolling in the first place. So is it possible his mom sent him to hook up with Aria as a ploy to get Ezra to end things with her? Then again, it's possible Wes just has a crush on Aria — which wouldn't really be a surprise, since she is quite crushable.
10. How adorable is Spandrew?
Okay, so this is basically a rhetorical question, but the only acceptable answer is: So adorable. It was a bit shocking to see how quickly Spencer was willing to take her bra off in front of him, but this is not really the same Spencer we've known all these years. So will Spencer and Andrew become a thing — or will she go back to Wren? That's not a bad choice to have to make.
Catch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Perhaps this isn't the best publicity stunt to employ. The theft of Half-Life 2's source code was called "easy" by the man responsible. Newell's ploy mimicks the one used by LifeLock, a security company that published its CEO's social security number in advertising.
The guy's identity has been stolen at least thirteen times since the ad campaign.

Moore's 23 not enough as Lady Texans fall to Collin CountyNovember 25, 2012
PLANO, Texas – The South Plains College Lady Texans dropped their second game of the season Saturday night, losing to host Collin County at their annual Thanksgiving Classic, 74-70, in a tightly contested game that featured 16 tied scores.
After trailing early in the first half, South Plains (7-2) applied some pressure and took a six point lead, 32-26, in the final minutes of the first half. The Lady Cougars responded with an 8-2 run that knotted up the score at 34 apiece at halftime.Neither team was able to separate themselves by more than four points in the second half. With the score tied up at 70 with just over a minute remaining, Collin's Nina Fofang took advantage of a second chance opportunity with a made field goal that put her team up by two.
A missed jumper by Kayla Turner was rebounded by Lindsey Lee with 24-seconds left and Lee was fouled as she tried to tie the game, sending her to the free throw line where she missed both but retrieved her own rebound. Turner tried to win the game, but a 3-point jumper was off the mark. Fofang rebounded the shot and converted a fast-break to seal the win for Collin.TaSheena Moore scored 23-points to lead the Texans, making 6-of-15 shots from the field. Sydney Hearn added 10.
The Lady Texans have two games remaining on their fall schedule as they travel to the Rip Griffin Center Tuesday, Nov. 26 for a 5:30 p.m. game against the Lubbock Christian junior varsity before hosting the Dallas Diesel at 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1.

1 (18.25 ounce) package
yellow cake mix
3/4 cup
vegetable oil
3/4 cup
cream sherry
1 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
1 (3.5 ounce) package
instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 tablespoon
ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon
unsweetened cocoa powder
Excellent and easy recipe. Followed it almost exactly except I ended up using only about half the cinnamon/sugar mixture (I used very little on the top). If you gently mix the cinnamon layer slightly with a knife (after pouring the 2nd layer of batter on), in makes a lovely cinnamon swirl instead of just a line going across the middle of the cake- just don't overmix it. Preparing the cake pan with the cinnamon mixture made for a very nice, light sugary crust. I sprinkled powdered sugar over the top just for looks. The inside was very tender, had excellent non-overpowering flavor and was delicious! Got rave reviews from the husband. Thanks for the recipe Jo!
I made this exactly by the recipe. It was only ok. It was very moist, but we thought it had a bit of a sour aftertaste. I will not make it again.

This was a simple and deliciuos recipe! I added a layer of Apple Pie Filling in the center between the cinnamon mixture. I will definitely make this for parties and summer get- togethers. Thanks!
Followed recipe almost exactly, only omitting half the nutmeg and adding 3/4 cup chopped pecans. The cake was good. Though I enjoyed the sugar/cinnamon/cocoa topping, I would have preferred a glaze.
Gorgeous, incredibly delicious and moist. I used yellow cake mix with pudding AND the extra pudding box. Just made it moister. I also used for the glaze powdered sugar moistened with the sherry, for extra punch. A huge hit at Thanksgiving yesterday.
Delicious! I made my mix from scratch, increased the sherry by 1/4 cup and decreased the oil by 1/4 cup, used a 6 oz. pudding, and added some pecans I had laying around (great addition). Very tasty and moist. I wanted to make a sherry glaze but I also wanted to keep it light...still good!
This was great! I didn't have any nutmeg so I used an extra tablespoon of cinnamon. I also left out the cocoa and added 1c of pecans. Loved it!
I was given this same recipe years ago by a lady I worked with in Old Town, Albuquerque, NM but she added a glaze which was 1 cup powder sugar, 1TBL spoon milk, and 1tsp butter flavoring, then drizzle on top. Very good!

College volunteers to lend hand at festival
From the The Brunswick News
Hannah Carmichael pulled a paper out of her backpack as her fellow students gathered around the desk.
As they read the paper, they offered suggestions to improve the piece, a critical dissection of "Hamlet's" Gertrude.
Elizabeth Tasciotti read the paper aloud as the College of Coastal Georgia's Writing Center director, Jennifer Gray, picked up a pen.
"Is it OK if I write on this?" she asked.
Once given the all clear, she scribbled the group's suggestions in the page's margin. For the women - Carmichael, Tasciotti, along with fellow writer Ashley Cain - it was a typical scene. Along with Gray, they are accustomed to making positive changes on many types of material.
"The Writing Center is not remedial. Even the best writers need to get feedback. It's like athletes in the Olympics. They're great athletes, but they still have coaches," Carmichael explained. "We are coaches at the (writing) center. We try to go beyond the paper to help."
As experienced writers, Carmichael, Tasciotti and Cain have an innate love of the English language and are always looking for ways to improve their work.
This weekend, they will have a unique opportunity to gain even more insight into the world of words.
The women, along with fellow writing coaches David Frey and Steve Strickland, will be volunteering at the Georgia Literary Festival Saturday on Jekyll Island.
The event, held at a different location each year, will celebrate literature in many different forms. Various authors, including such recognizable names as Steve Berry and Mary Kay Andrews, will be on hand to discuss their writing processes.
Georgia Poet Laureate Judson Mitcham will make an appearance, as will U.S. Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey. Tretheway, the recipient of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in poetry, will discuss and read excerpts from her newly-published collection of poetry titled "Thrall."
Occupying the same space as such celebrated writers is an exciting concept for Gray and her student coaches.
"It's so exciting," Gray conceded. "We're going to be geeking out."
The students will also have a chance to spend an extended period of time with children's author Doraine Bennett.
Writing Center coaches will serve as ambassadors to the Isles, while shuttling Bennett to local elementary schools to conduct writing workshops with the children.
"On Friday, we'll be escorting her around town. It will be very hands on," Cain said.
"We will show her around and take her to lunch. We've already been talking about where we're going to go."
It also will give the students an opportunity to pick Bennett's brain, something Tasciotti is looking forward to doing.
"I am really excited to talk to her. It's a completely new form of writing for us. I want to ask her about her whole process. It's not easy writing for children. You have to select your words very carefully," Tasciotti said.
After playing hosts to Bennett, the writing coaches will attend the festival at the new Jekyll Island Convention Center, where they are looking forward to learning more about the craft.
"There really is something for everyone. There's a history track, a culinary track, a children's book track, a nature track. I think that even people who don't consider themselves to be 'readers' or 'book people' will be able to find something that interests them," Tasciotti said.
Buoying support and excitement for reading is especially critical today considering the staggering rates of illiteracy rampant across the country, Carmichael says.
But it's a problem that is prevalent close to home as well. In 2011, statistics showed that one in four Glynn County residents is considered to be illiterate.
That's 25 percent of the county that is unable to read above a third-grade level. Carmichael says the Literary Festival, which will market reading in a fun, exciting way, is just the way to reach the population.
"I think that, especially with the literacy rates, it's important to get people involved and not just kids. It's important for adults too," Carmichael said.
"That's why this festival is important. It's a way for everyone to get involved."

In a statement the carrier confirms the crash of aircraft, which went missing late yesterday, on flight TM470 from Maputa to Luanda. The flight was carrying 27 passengers and six crew members.

So you're ready to ditch your breast forms and get some womanly curves of your own? Bravo!
Herbs and hormones are the two most popular options for male to female breast enhancement. Both methods work, but there are pros and cons to each approach.
Here are some things to think about:
Certain herbs contain chemicals that mimic the effects of estrogen. These "phytoestrogenic" herbs can stimulate breast growth in biological males.
The advantage of herbs is that they are 100% natural and are safer than synthetic hormones. Phytoestrogenic herbs such as fenugreek, wild yam, fennel, red clover, and pueraria mirifica have been safely used for hundreds of years.
The disadvantage of herbs is that they aren't as powerful as hormones and don't work as quickly.
But don't let that fool you – herbs can have a dramatic result on your breasts, especially over time. (Check out some of the results my girls have experienced here.)
Pharmaceutical hormones are much more potent than herbs and are the logical choice for transsexual women. If hormones are started early enough, a TS woman can totally avoid masculine development during puberty.
Beside breast enlargement, hormones lead to:
- Redistribution of body fat
- Thinner body hair
- Thickening of hair on the head
- Softer skin
- Reduced muscle development
- Changes in body odor and sweat production
- Decreased penis size
- Psychological changes.
The downside of hormones is that they are associated with certain health risks and therefore must be administered by a doctor. (Self-prescribed hormones are very dangerous; please don't do this.)
Some of the health risks of transgender HRT include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Mood swings
- Depression
- Weight gain
- Hypothyroidism
- Risk of blood clots/deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Increased potential for gall bladder disease
- Increased potential for liver/breast cancer
So which breast enhancement method is best for YOU? It all depends on your goals and where you fall in the feminine spectrum.
Transsexual women who are serious about transitioning should be under a doctor's care for HRT. Period.
Herbs are an appropriate alternative for crossdressers and transgender women who don't want to make a full transition or don't want to deal with the risk of hormones.
I'd love to hear YOUR thoughts on this. Have you ever used herbs or hormones for breast enlargement? What was your experience? Please leave me your comments below!

The striker returned to Bayern from Werder Bremen on a one-year deal last May and was pleased to be able to stay on under new boss Pep Guardiola.
The Peruvian told the club website: "I am 34 - I could think of nothing better than signing another contract at Bayern Munich.
"I am convinced we will have a good year together.
"What will happen in a year I can't say. But I feel very good and would like to play football for as long as possible."

Chip Kelly Says He Never Wanted To Trade Sam Bradford, Is Probably Lying
The first round of the NFL draft ended up being kind of butt. There were no major trades, no truly shocking picks, and no players willing to step up and punch Roger Goodell in the dick. Our best chance at some excitement was always going to be Chip Kelly making a madman trade for a top pick, but even if he wasn't able… »

I was a victem of child porn, as was my daughter. She didn't tell me until 4 years after it had accured, and I will live with the guilt for the rest of my life that I didn't reconize the signs and symptoms that she was displaying. Why should the tax payers provide housing, provide medical care, therapy,and supervision for this man for the rest of his life? He has killed a little girl's right of remaining innocent until SHE decided to become intrested in her own sexuality. She will live in a prision of his making for the rest of her life-even should she be lucky enough to find the correct therapist. He will have his sick memories of what he did to her, and be able to share his twisted deeds with other twisted inmates. Who is going to fight hell forever in their minds? Why can't capital punisment be applied in this case. Studies have shown that no amount of therapy will "cure" a sexual offender. They can talk a big talk, but when it comes down to it, they will never be cured of the sickness. I think that in this case, he should be given the death penalty. Believe it or not, I am a registered Dem, and seldom ride on the side of this sentenace, but in this case-just get rid of everyones problem.
Please! I bleed black and gold, and throw towels at the tv when my boys aren't quite making the grade. When it comes right down to it, it is only a game. What would it be if an innocent person had been hit by a stray bullet, or if a bullet had bounced back and hit the shooter? He needs some serious anger management intervention, and soon. Mr. Gros was no better in being so uptight about the game, and how it was going. He should be ashamed of his behavior. I sincerely hope that he is not raising any children. When they were doing so poorly, I went to the grocery and the butcher shop just to get away from the tension.
This is the rookie's fault, as they are the one to make the final decision. There should be a ceiling cap on salaries, and no demands placed by rookies. What is to say that he won't turn out to be a dud? Yeah-Duece held out, but he is gone now. You want to go back and reclaim monies that he could have earned, but didn't due to his injuries? Didn't hear you complaining while he was doing his job-my favorite player-still over paid. Too many hungry people, and too many struggling ones, especially in this region, to be playing the prima dona game with a football player. By the way-I am a huge fan, wouldn't miss a game, but I also balance out with fairness.
Stuntdog-or should it be 'Snot Dog'-you are a waste! How dare you?! Man's folk dies, and your only response is that it is time to move on? Have you ever lost anyone? You really should be banned from the human race.
This is a dog who would have laid his life down for his partner, and this is how he is repaid for his loyalty?! This is a police officer who is supposed to use good judgement in keeping the bad guys off of the streets?! Don't just fire him, put him in jail. He is directly responsible for the death of his partner, and should do jail time. Unfortunely, it isn't a crime to be stupid, as it would add extra jail time to his sentence. We have 7 goats, 5 dogs, and 3 housecats. While 3 of our dogs are allowed to make short runs in the car with us, they are never left alone in the car. I hope that this dog is given full police honors for a proper burial. Although, too little, too late.
Why wait for the 2nd time around? Abuse,in any form is about control, and power. It is a sad fact that the elderly, young children, and animals are usually the targets of the abuse. There is also emotional and mental abuse. There are so many facts to support the theory that those 'people' who abuse the weaker of our society go on to commit serial crimes-rape,murder. Get them off the streets on the first time arrest. I had a vet tech tell me once that animals don't feel pain the way humans do. What rot!! Pain is pain is pain!
Mr. Palone was a patient of mine when I was a nurse at Oschner Clinic years ago. He was a WONDERFUL person, and I have thought of him in the interveining years. Many condolences to the entire family for a loss that will never be filled.
How in the world did he talk his way out of being quarantine so early? Did he serve a special chocolate soup to everyone? I was amazed at the negative posts against this man. I knew that he is not popular, but not to this degree. Why is he willing to continue on with his farce, and pretend to be mayor? When will he just throw in the towel? There would be more honor if he would admit that he is just so disliked that the city wants him to stay in another country than return home, and resume his false reign as a competent public official.

RULES ARE RULES!!! What makes this person think that she is above the rules that others must follow? How respectful is that baby going to be of others and the rules laid down for her? Take that child away, and let responsible ADULTS raise her. Children need to be raised by adults, not by other children! I hope that she ends up being charged with attempted murder, tried and found guilty. Then, while in prison, gets much counseling and education. Perhaps in 20 years she can be reunited with her child, who will hopefully have begun to be a productive member of society.
Isn't it something when a private citizen does something right, and the city officials can't even seem to tie their own shoelaces?! Gregory Davis should be lauded as a hero to the people. Perhaps he will run for mayor when the current messup is done doing his damage to what is left of the city. Thank you, Mr. Davis, for taking such an interest in the area and people. Hopefully, he will look for other areas in need, and fix them much the same way that he has begun to fix the medicial needs in NOE.
My husband's program, like many others at UNO, has been closed due to budget cuts. We will lose about 15K a year. And they have money to pump into buildings?! What good are the buildings if there are no instructors to teach the students? Will the students sit in the classrooms in these big, beautiful buildings staring off into space with no one to teach them? What a waste!
usmcno1-I fully agree with you about the ant hill and honey. You left out the dried corncob covered in cayanne pepper and introduced to a certain body cavity while the ants are playing their music.
By the way, I may be liberal, but I've no tolerance for abusing children, elderly folks, animals and those victims weaker than their abuser.
Don't know about anyone out there, but I recieve no less than 5 scams over email everyday. Do not believe a claim of winnings, unless YOU entered the contest. There is a web site that you can gather information regarding these illegal, and at times, dangerous scams. Scam 419 will give you plenty of info. I have saved all of the bogus winnings in a folder, and will turn them over to the proper authorities once I have enough.
aggravated assult/attempted 2degree murder?
We moved to Alabama after the storm. We lived there for 15 months, and all I could wish is that we could 'move home'. My family is in Slidell and Chalmette. I didn't want to live on the south shore, since we had lost everything in Meraux, but I wanted to be close to the city. Since we have been 'home', we have been to the city about 6 times. We moved into our house Christmas 2006. Prior to moving to our dream house in Meraux, we lived on State Street Drive-about 2 blocks away from Washington Ave. It was nothing to hear gunshots coming from that area.
Since relocating here, we have gotten to know the area, and the people. We finally feel that we belong to a communitity again.
It is sad to think that New Orleans, and all she stands for is gone. However, I think that that is exactly what has happened. The attitude is changed, folks no longer greet oneanother(at least not the last few times we were there),the streets are different.
There is a big change here, and one can almost reach to touch it.
In this short new year, 2 innocent people have been killed. I firmly believe that this is fallout from the storm. There is no more regard for the law, and for life. What in the world did a 2 year old ever do that would be so awful that he needed to have his throat slit? By his own father? How could that man look at a child, much less his own, and watch the trust turn to fear, then pain, and then see the life that he had helped create drain out of him? How could someone kill an elderly woman?
I had an 89 year old aunt whom had never married. She was raped and strangled-for her TV.
I am glad that we didn't move back into the city, even though we are close enough that when we want to, we can take a ride.
My thing is:now, we don't choose to take a ride, as we don't know if we will be riding back home.
HE CUT HIS THROAT?! Maybe that is just what should happen to him. Stab wounds that would make him bleed, but not kill him outright. Make it hurt. Make it a slow one. Just make sure that there is plastic covering the area that he bleeds out. I'm sure that he is diseased, and no one wants to be covered with his contaminated fluid on them.
I am not usually one for street justice, but this time I feel that this non human needs to be given to those who have lost their family members to murder. Let them decide how to deal with him, and get on with it. Better yet, let the mom decide what needs to happen to him; let her do the deed.
This is my second post. I don't think that killing this person is the answer. My idea of his hell on earth would be to be constantly supervised, and ordered to work with the children at a cancer ward. Let him get attached to these kids, take care of them-knowing that they are terminal-day in and day out-forever. There is no downside. The children would have constant care to the end, and this man would be forced to see how powerful the love of a child is, and how devastating the loss of that child would be. Right now, he has no idea of what he has lost, since he was not in his son's life. My first gut reaction was to use a bullet on him. But after thinking about what might be the right form of punishment is to make him see pain and suffering up close and personal. Both from the parents who love their children who are dying, the children who are dying, and to become attached to the ones who he would have to attend to on a daily basis.
I'm not sure that this man is a monster-any former proof?-only a monsterous moment in his life. Make him aware of what a gift children are, and what he has lost-forever.
I know that I will make many people angry over my remarks, but I challenge you to REALLY think about this. Killing this scumbag would be easy;making him pay his entire life would be justice.
I was a single mom in the early 80's. My ex had threatened to kill me should I leave him(never did),he abused me, refused to work, so I worked 2 jobs to support myself and my son. He had been ordered to pay 200.00 a month child support(I saw 1080.00 from the time my son was 3 until he was 18). The 4 SUPERVISED visits that he attended, he was drunk, late, and spent the time begging me to take him back. I could have forgiven him the money that he owed to me for our son, had he risen to the plate and been a FATHER to our son. My son is now 27, and wants nothing to do with his dad. We met when he was 19-had a BBQ with my ex's family-they were the salt of the earth. My ex was still in and out of the system, Bridge House and jail.
I ended up married to another man, went to nursing school, had another child, and supported the child that I had had as a 17-one time highschool dropout.
I realize that it isn't always an easy path for single moms to walk, and I got lucky. However, there are programs for them to go thru, and follow up with.
By no means, do I blame this mom. She was doing what she needed to do to provide for her child, and I believe that she was hoping that by the court system giving some structure,she was hoping that the father of her child would step up to the plate to provide for their child.
Child support and child visitation are two seperate issues. Look it up. Ask your lawyer. Stop using your child to fight against your ex.
And by the way, my now husband is an attorney-represents the indigent who cannot afford counsel.
He is appalled by this man.
My question is to this man-why did you you kill your son? You could have skipped the state, and moved, or better yet, killed yourself. Why take the life of an innocent baby, caught in the middle of parents at war?
To the family-both sides, and I don't know how involved the dad's family was in this baby's life, I hurt for you. Your lives are forever changed. You have lost a son, and brother.
May all of the angels be with you.
Great item! Shows family commitment. Also shows that contrary to common thought, Africian American fathers are involved in their children's lives, and are committed to their mothers as well.It also shows that people can change for the better.
Kudos to this family, and many good wishes for future successes.

When Clay finally made it official Monday at Harris-Stowe State College that he's bailing out of Congress after being elected 16 times, his comments made him come off as an unapologetic old-school liberal, a trail-blazing African-American politician and a backroom power broker. In short, the same Bill Clay St. Louis has grown to love or endure since he was first elected in 1968.
On what his goals were in Washington, D.C., and what he plans to do in his last 18 months in Congress, he was clear: "I'm proud of my work to increase the wages and benefits for working-class people. Fighting to extend the rights for women, gays and minorities have always been priorities of mine."
Clay, one of the 14 original founding members of the Congressional Black Caucus, says now that there are 39 members his intent remains unchanged: "I will continue to speak loudly and boisterously about the inequities of our society -- Margaret Wilson taught me that -- because justice demands that we grant racism, sexism and elitism neither sanctuary nor solace, neither comfort nor consolation."
Yes, the Republicans remain villains.
"They want to get government out of business but want to put government in your bedroom," Clay told the predominantly African-American crowd of several hundred. And what will he do in his last days as U.S. representative? "I was successful with Sen. (Ted) Kennedy at the end of last year to negotiate -- really, to extort -- from the Republicans $1.2 billion for 30,000 new teachers to reduce class sizes down to 18. We need to hire another 70,000."
And one more thing.
"The Republicans have proposed caps on domestic spending. The caps are so low that if you keep them there, everybody in this country is going to suffer from the lack of money we can spend on these programs. One of my ambitions in the next weeks and months is to bust the hell out of those caps." About 50 million Americans need health insurance, he says, "most of whom work 40 hours a week," and that's because "we let some of these businesses get away without providing it."
So government needs to spend more, correct the "inequities of our society" and make business spend more money on worker benefits. Gee, no wonder Clay is quitting. In this age of political posturing based on the last overnight poll, Bill Clay is an ideologue, a political Bob Gibson, as predictable as a fastball down the middle of the plate. As he often says, no permanent allies, no permanent enemies, just permanent interests.
Now that he's leaving, who will take his place in the 1st Congressional District that covers much of North St. Louis and North County? Well, being the power broker that he is, Clay has a nominee. "About my successor, whoever he might be. I prefer it's someone with the same bloodline," Clay says, referring to his son, state Sen. Lacy Clay. "I will not be his campaign manager, but I've helped 45 or 50 other individuals to get elected to various positions, and I was not their campaign manager. I will support my son if he runs, and I will do it with the same vigor I did with the 45 to 50 people who I helped to get elected."
But this isn't a family plumbing business that can be handed down father to child. There are voters to solicit and a demographically changed district to consider. And there's a wild card in the deal -- just what will former Mayor Freeman Bosley Jr. do? Will he come out of his law practice to re-enter politics as a candidate in the 1st District? Bosley's relations with the congressman have been up and down in the past, but there has not been much evidence of loyalty, of a bond. It is conceivable that Bosley would take on the younger Clay in Y2K.
Asked about his plans, Bosley issues a nondenial denial. He says that he doesn't want "to cloud the moment" and that the focus should be on honoring Bill Clay, and people shouldn't be "sidetracked by speculation and conjecture about his successor." OK, OK. But is he considering running for Congress?
"Not at this point, no. I have talked to (Bill Clay) about it. He had told me he was thinking about stepping down some time ago. So I'm not really interested in it at this point."
Whether it be son Lacy or former mayor Freeman, any candidate running in the 1st does not face what Bill Clay did in 1968. That year, the city accounted for 72 percent of the vote in the district; now it is a mere 29 percent. In 1970, the district was 62 percent African-American; in the 1990 census, it was 52 percent.
Ken Warren, St. Louis University political-science professor and biographer of Bill Clay, thinks the race could be a wide-open one. "The reason why Clay won in the early years when he could have lost is because he won approximately 86 percent of the vote in the city. When that made up the majority of the district, it's awfully difficult to lose even if you get blown away in the county. He usually lost the county with about 40 percent of the vote," says Warren.

Joe Flach
When fate decides to bring you love
Sure to past the test of time
When no longer can you live apart
Separating yours from mine
When asunder you will never go
And the two of you are one
When no other can tear you apart
And the melding never come undone
When the other means more to you
Than you ever meant to yourself
When the feelings that you feel right now
Are more powerful than any feelings ever felt
When you are ready to give it all you have
Through the thickness and the thin
The time is right for you to unite
So let your new life now begin
I now pronounce you Husband and Wife

Treatment Recommendations: Medications-Nicotine GumPatient selectionAppropriate as a first-line medication for treating tobacco usePrecautions, warnings, contraindications and side effects (see FDA package insert for complete list)Pregnancy-Pregnant smokers should be encouraged to quit without medication. Nicotine gum has not been shown to be effective for treating tobacco dependence in pregnant smokers. (Nicotine gum is an FDA pregnancy Class D agent.) Nicotine gum has not been evaluated in breast-feeding patients.Cardiovascular diseases-NRT is not an independent risk factor for acute myocardial events. NRT should be used with caution among particular cardiovascular patient groups: those in the immediate (within 2 weeks) post myocardial infarction period, those with serious arrhythmias, and those with unstable angina pectoris.Side effects-Common side effects of nicotine gum include mouth soreness, hiccups, dyspepsia, and jaw ache. These effects are generally mild and transient, and often can be alleviated by correcting the patient's chewing technique.DosageNicotine gum (both regular and flavored) is available in 2 mg and 4 mg (per piece) doses. The 2 mg gum is recommended for patients smoking less than 25 cigarettes per day, while the 4 mg gum is recommended for patients smoking 25 or more cigarettes per day. Smokers should use at least 1 piece every 1 to 2 hours for the first six weeks and the gum should be used for up to 12 weeks with no more than 24 pieces/day.AvailabilityOTC onlyPrevious Slide Contents Next Slide Page last reviewed October 2014 Internet Citation: 132.

So, as a lot of you are probably aware, my old lady mare is heading down the downhill road towards blindness due to ERU.
That has led me to get her some leg protection because, at this point in her sight loss, she has a hard time judging distances, trips rather often, etc, (mostly blind in one eye with a bit more vision in the other eye) and therefore she's pretty at risk for doing some damage to herself before she even knew what happened.
I watch out for her and alert her when I see something that could pose a danger (we have words describing pretty much every scenario we might come across) but there are times when unassuming things pose more of a threat than I realize+she has to scramble a bit to get herself in order.
I'm still riding her quite often (we average about 20 miles on the trail/week) so, while she wears bell boots on all 4 when she's on her own time in the pasture, she needs more for the trail since that's a bit more high risk than just her pasture.
I have been just sticking SMBs on all her legs for our rides but I am a little concerned about how warm they allow her legs to get - her legs will be sweating profusely under them in just 15-20 minutes (even before any saddle sweat shows up!) and we usually are riding for upwards of 45 minutes.
So, I'm wondering if polos would offer a similar level of protection that I'm getting with the SMBs (I assume polos would keep her legs cooler...)....?
I don't really use the SMBs for support purposes, just for all around leg protection (if I wasn't needing to protect her entire leg, I'd just use splint boots or something similar).

Redundant stupidity
By B the thirsty cyclist

About Me Competitive Cyclist
This bottle is terrible. The top screws off and "pops" off only to offer the same size opening (so those who are thinking this is a good idea as it will aid in putting ice in your bottle if you felt so inclined, it's not). It has exploded (top "popped" off) twice and emptied on my chest, mid-ride, as I tried to drink from it. It has also exploded and emptied after it fell from my bottle cage after hitting a larger than normal pot hole. If you want a water bottle that reliably holds your water, this is not the product for you. Not worth a penny.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Read Poems by
Keith Bickerstaffe
Basic black, they chatter like
fiancees choosing flatware,
obits their compulsion,
scanning through the
fine print for fatalities today.
"Albert Johnson, such
a young one, taken by his
Maker, leaving children,
such a shame!" A hunger for
the details drives these gannets
to their prey. They're not too far
behind, and that's the reason
for their passion,
death and taxes, final call.
Professional, they'll travel
thirty miles to pay respects,
their only consolation
now that Frank and Jim are gone.
Memories are treasures
they will contemplate, while they wait
in resignation, ready for their turn.

I've never been in an accident before. I was hesitant about making a claim. First Personal Injury sorted it all out and explained everything.
Mr Smith from Bournemouth
See more testimonials
If you have had a cycle accident and sustained an injury through no fault of your own you may be examining how much compensation for being knocked off a bike. If this is the case you will need to bear in mind that any compensation amount will be dependent on the extent of the injury and the consequences it has.
Cycling accidents are very common in the UK and some injuries can be very serious and even fatal. There is no set injury for being knocked off a bike and therefore there is no set answer to the question of how much compensation for being knocked off a bike. However, there are certain cycling injuries which are more common than others.
Most cycling injuries are minor and result in cuts and bruises. Below is a range of compensation amounts which may help determine how much compensation for being knocked off a bike.
When working out how much compensation for being knocked off a bike it is worth remembering that as well as the extent of an injury and the associated pain and suffering you will also be able to claim back any loss of earnings if your claim is successful. Being away from work for a long period can have devastating effects on an individual or family. Medical expenses including private health care as well a travel to and from appointments can also be claimed for.
Jefferies Solicitors has considerable experience in dealing with cycling injury claims as well as a range of other road traffic accident compensation cases and general accident and injury claims. Please call us on 0800 342 3206 to begin your bicycle accident claims.
If you have suffered as a result of an industrial or occupational illness then you could be entitled to make a personal injury claim for compensation. Contact Jefferies no win no fee solicitors on our national accident helpline above or complete our quick online claim form and one of our team of experienced specialists will come back to you to discuss your prospect of claiming for accidents or injuries, in confidence.
Jefferies Solicitors accepts no responsibility for the validity of information contained within this article. You should always seek further information with regards to claiming compensation.

It's a good question—does the team that scores more points win the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, or does the college program that lands the most commitments win it?
If it comes down to the college program that gets the most good news, chalk one up for California. The Bears landed three of the top uncommitted players in the nation—all three are Sporting News Top 125 players and could be immediate contributors.
Defensive end Ellis McCarthy, wide receiver Jordan Payton and defensive back Shaq Thompson all sat in front of a national audience and proclaimed their love for Cal. The game was played at the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio.
"I loved it, and it's truly special," Payton told Sporting News after the game. "I love the decision that I made."
Payton had originally been committed to USC, but had opened up his recruiting in recent months. He had taken official visits to Arizona State, Michigan and Notre Dame, only to stay close to home. The 6-2, 200-pound played his high school football for Oaks Christian in Westlake Village (Calif.). McCarthy is 6-5, 310 pounds, while Thompson is 6-2, 210.
As for the game action, the West Team knocked off the East Team 24-12 behind the passing of the game's most valuable player, Washington recruit Cyler Miles. Miles threw for 155 yards and a touchdown on 7-of-8 passing, while also adding one score on the ground.
In an all-star setting, it's tough to put together a scoring drive, but Miles managed to do it in his first attempt, ending it on a scoring run of his own. His touchdown was a record-breaker, going for 79 yards to Sporting News High School Athlete of the Year, Dorial Green-Beckham, who is still uncommitted. The one-handed touchdown catch by Green-Beckham broke a nine-year record for the longest TD reception, one that belonged to former Florida players Chris Leak and Andre Caldwell, who connected for a 78-yard scoring pass in 2003.
For the East team, recent LSU commitment Gunner Kiel led his team on a 77-yard scoring drive that ended on Mike Davis' score. Davis is uncommitted and has visited Clemson, Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee. Also making quarterback headlines were Anthony Alford, who chose Southern Miss, and Pitt commit Chad Voytik—who scored a touchdown on the ground.
Cal wasn't the only school that came away happy with Saturday's commitment news. Florida landed one of the nation's top defensive ends in Jonathan Bullard, a Shelby (N.C.) native that had also taken visits to Clemson, Nebraska and South Carolina. Bullard chose the Gators—probably the top commitment outside of the outstanding Cal trio.
Barry Sanders Jr., a shifty running back with a famous name, surprised a lot of people with his decision—picking Stanford. His NFL Hall of Fame father, Barry Sanders, played at Oklahoma State, while Florida State and Alabama had also been on Sanders' short list.
Miami and Louisville also managed to land two recruits apiece during the game, though the Hurricanes also saw one of their former commitments pick another school. Linebacker Keith Brown is a Miami native and had originally chosen the Hurricanes, but dropped them in the past year and chose Illinois. When the Fighting Illini fired coach Ron Zook, Brown decommitted again and this time, he chose Louisville and coach Charlie Strong. The Cardinals' other pickup was linebacker Nick Dawson out of Charlotte.
The Hurricanes landed defensive end Tyriq McCord and defensive back Deon Bush.
Other top performers in the game were Texas DB recruit Kendall Sanders, who intercepted two passes, while Alabama running back recruit T.J. Yeldon had probably the most amazing individual moments in the game when he jumped over defenders to make plays. He rushed for 13 yards in a game devoid of huge rushing gains, while he also caught three passes for 39 yards … Texas A&M running back Trey Williams took a kickoff back for more than 30 yards, while also going for 95 yards on a run that was called back. He was one of the rare breakaway threats in the game. Also, UCLA commit Ishmael Adams intercepted a pass.
QB Anthony Alford, Petal (Miss.)—Southern Miss

Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed is trying to prevent his island nation from going underwater, literally, due to climate change, but if that doomsday scenario does play out, among the options seriously being considered by his government is relocation of some of the country's population to India.
In an interview, President Nasheed said, "We have to have a kitty saved for a rainy day. That might mean some of the people, whoever wants to get relocated, to be able to go somewhere. I think any responsible Maldives government should be thinking along these tracks."
This has been mentioned to India. As he said, "We haven't had an official discussion on that but I've always been mentioning to Indian officials that it's important that we are able to buy land in India, it's important we are able to have easy access to India, so that these eventualities can be covered."
President Nasheed doesn't want that eventuality to occur, so he has undertaken a high-profile campaign on the issue. As part of the effort, he walked the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival or TIFF premiere of the documentary, The Island President.
As the name suggests, the film, directed by Jon Shenk, has President Nasheed as the central character. But for the President, the agenda went beyond just that since the film also focuses on the peril faced by his nation from possible global warming leading to rising levels of the Indian Ocean, causing submergence of large parts of the Maldives. The tiny South Asian nation consists of about 1,200 coral islands, with an average elevation of just 1.5 metre.
Among the countries he's relying upon heavily for support is India. Among the first shots of the film features Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Salads are really good. I eat here almost every day. I stick to 3 dressings - White Balsamic, 5 Flavor Asian both of which are great, and the Spa Sesame Asian, which is pretty good considering it's low calorie. Ingredients are fresh. There is always a line, but it goes fairly quickly. Expensive, but every 10th salad is free. Can't comment on delivery.

I order online every day, walk right past the line (which sometimes extends all the way to 42nd street) and pick up my order. Quality salad w/gourmet toppings, albeit a bit pricey (it's Times Square, after all).
Posted by Pregnant and Waiting on 02/15/2010
I didnt think that I ordered anything to complicated... Afterall, isnt it a salad place?! I was prepared to wait the 30-45 minutes that was expected however its now been over an hour and still... no salad. I was told it was on the way, I think that the delivery guy must have gotten lost in the 6 block bike ride he had to go! This is absurd and I will never order from Chopt again! Its too bad because when I get to go there it is always very tasty!
Posted by annonymouse on 06/22/2009
be prepared to wait anywhere from 1-2 hours (even though I work 2 blocks away) for your delivery. Even if you order at 11AM, you can wait till 12:30/1 for your order. They often put random items in your salad and never actually chop it (even when asked). The reason for the delay is that they wait for multiple salad orders before sending out the delivery person.
Posted by Caltd on 08/25/2008
As I've recently relocated to NYC, my expectations of value versus quality are probably higher than someone who has lived here for a while. For most of the places I've eaten here, I've found that ratio of quality/quantity/value to be quite dismal. However, Chop't has met my expectations more than most. Being a demanding and particular customer, they've done well thus far and the variety is such that I can order more than a couple of times per week. It should be noted that I have little patience for orders filled incorrectly or incomplete, but have little concept of delivery times unless I'm starving. My ratings are for delivery only I have never eaten in the restaurant.
Posted by midtown eater on 01/12/2008
I ordered from Chop't two days in a row. The food is actually quite good but the service...horrific. Both times the delivery person took over an hour to get here (my office is 5 blocks away). When I called Chop't to ask what was taking so long they informed me the delivery person was waiting in my lobby - they just never thought to call me to tell me. Brilliant service.
