Definition of Rib pain
Costochondritis, also known as anterior chest wall pain, costosternal syndrome or parasternal chondrodynia is a benign and often temporary inflammation of the rib cartilage that connects each rib to the breastbone (sternum).
The rib cartilage functions as an elastic bridge between the rib (costa) and the sternum forming 2 joints: the costochondral joint (CCJ) and the sternochondral joint (SCJ). The CCJ's and SCJ's most frequently affected by inflammation are located in Rib 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Mild to severe pain and /or tenderness over the anterior chest (CCJ and SCJ). The pain may radiate to the back, shoulders, stomach or arms. Decreased mobility and pain are noted in the chest wall, frequently in multiple ribs.
Pain is aggravated with coughing, lifting, straining, sneezing and deep breathing. Pain can be constant or intermittent and can last for several days to multiple months/years (!).
When rib pain is accompanied with swelling it is referred to as Tietze's syndrome. This syndrome is seen less frequently.
Who is affected?
Costochondritis is a common cause of chest pain in children and adults. It affects women more than men (70% vs. 30%) and occurs more frequently in individuals aged 40 or older.(Mayo Clinic, WebMD)
In one study of 100 patients with negative cardiac angiography, 69 had chest wall tenderness and in 16 of these cases, pressure on the costochondral area completely reproduced the pain.(Wise CM, Semble EL, Dalton CB.: muskuloskeletal chest wall syndromes in patients with noncardiac chest paiin; a study of 100 patients, Arch. Phys. Med. Rehabil. 1992 Feb; 73(2):147-9.)
In another (emergency department) study, 30% of individuals with chest pain had costochondritis.(Disla E., et al. Costochondritis: a prospective analysis in an emergency department setting. Arch. Int. Med. 1994; 154 (21): 2466-9)
Idiopathic costochondritis accounts for 10% to 30% of all chest pain in children and adolescents.(Jagvir Singh MD, of the Division of Pediatric Emergency medicine, Lutheran General Hospital of Park Ridge, Illinois)
Medscape reports 650,000 cases/year in patients between 10-21 years old.
Causes of costochondritis:
The cause of costochondritis is not well understood and frequently unknown.
Costochondritis can have a gradual onset for no apparent reason. While costochondritis is often self-limiting, it can be a recurring condition that can appear to have little or no reason of onset. Wikipedia writes: 'in most cases of costochondritis, there is no definite cause'.
Some possible causes that can be identified are:
1. Injury (MVA, sports injury, impact injury
2. Physical strain (heavy lifting, strenuous exercise/job)
3. Lung disease (pleurisy), Sneezing, Coughing ( severe and persistent bouts)
4.. Degenerative processes (osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis/Scheuermann's disease)
5. Infection of the joint by viruses, bacteria or fungi (i.e. Tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus (staph), Streptococci, Haemophilus influenza, Salmonella etc.)
6. Tumors
7. Large breasts: persistent chronic loading of the anterior rib cartilages by the (significant) weight of the breasts. Underwire bras can also aggravate the lower rib cartilages.
8. Poor sitting posture
9. Fibromyalgia
10.Vitamin D deficiency (R.C. Oh MD and J.D. Johnson, Tripler Army Medical Center, 2012)
Typically, costochondritis patients are instructed to refrain from physical activity to prevent the onset of an attack.
Treatment options currently used are limited and usually involve a combination of rest, ice and analgesics (Vicodin, Oxycodone, and Percocet) or anti-inflammatory medications (Advil, Motrin, Aleve). Anti-depressants (Amitriptyline) and anti-seizure medication (Neurontin) may be prescribed to control chronic pain.
In some cases of severe pain, cortisone injections or surgery have been utilized- with mixed results.
Stretching exercises have shown to be beneficial.
(Rovetta G, Sessarego P, Monteforte P. G Ital Med Lav Ergon. Stretching exercises for costochondritis pain.2009 Apr-Jun; 31(2):169-71. Cattedra di Reumatologia, DISEM, Università di Genova, Italy.)
The long road to a diagnosis and cure for costochondritis patients
The road to a diagnosis can be a prolonged and scary process for some patients: costochondritis symptoms can be similar to the chest pain associated with a heart attack*, lung disease, gastrointestinal problems (GERD) and osteoarthritis.
Many patients who eventually receive the diagnosis of costochondritis have had a consult with a cardiologist and/or pulmonologist and have heard: "There is nothing wrong with you".
Some patients have to go through multiple doctor's visits and diagnostic tests before the diagnosis is made. At that point in time they may hear that "It will go away by itself" or "It is going to take time".
For many patient suffering long term with costochondritis who have tried medication and waiting (with limited or no results), the road to recovery has been narrow, long and never ending…..
But now there is NEW treatment available!
Recently there has been a medical breakthrough in the treatment of costochondritis.
Introducing: the Breathing Assisted Recoil Technique (BART)
by Peter Askes PT, Cert. MDT
After 29 years of orthopedic physical therapy practice in Europe (the Netherlands) and the United States, Mr. Askes has designed a multi-phase treatment technique that has shown excellent clinical results with costochondritis patients. BART is intended for all patients for whom prior forms of treatment for costochondritis have not been effective.
At First Choice Physical Therapy, we are very excited to announce the introduction of this new treatment option!
The Breathing Assisted Recoil Technique (BART) is a manual therapeutic technique consisting of 3 phases:
Phase 1: A small amount of manual traction by the therapist (using the crossed wrist stretching technique) is applied to the involved rib joint and its supporting ligaments.
Phase 2: The therapist tunes in to the rib-joint and follows the 3-dimensional movement pattern that may have been induced by the small amount of initial traction. The movement is followed by the therapist to its conclusion.
Phase 3: While the patient inhales forcefully through the mouth (initiated by verbal instruction from the therapist), the manual pressure on the rib joint is suddenly released, resulting in a recoil produced by the sudden expansion of the lung.
This produces an autogenic mobilization of the rib joint.
The clinical importance of the BART is precisely this autogenic recoil component that produces a safe and non-invasive approach to costo-chondral and sterno-chondral mobilization.
No external mobilization force is used. The patient's body is set up to correct the rib joint restrictions through internal lung tissue recoil.
The rib joints are mobilized by internal forces thereby eliminating the risks associated with external mobilization forces produced by a treating clinician.
The gentle nature of BART makes it an excellent clinical choice for the treatment of costochondritis.
How does it work?
The recoil described above provides a means of treating a rib restriction by using the elastic tissue properties of the lungs (recoil is the ability of a stretched organ to return to its resting position).
The effect of the resulting recoil occurs through a nerve reflex: the stretching and sudden release of the rib structures involved (CCJ and SCJ) results in immediate relaxation of the surrounding muscular, ligamentous and membranous tissues.
The stimulation of proprioceptors* in these tissues increases the body's awareness of the location of the involved (painful) area and directs the body to focus its response towards the area of restriction.
Recoil, by producing relaxation, increases our therapeutic ability to reach and mobilize rib tissues and to restore full pain-free mobility in the affected rib-joints.
(*) Proprioceptors are sensory nerve endings in muscles, tendons, and joints that provide a sense of the body's position in space by responding to stimuli from within the body. Proprioception means "sense of self".
If you suffer from costochondritis, pick up the telephone and call us at 732-698-2800.
BART is only a phone call away!

Vampire Weekend | Giving Up The Gun VideoBy Editor in Music on February 23rd, 2010 | No Comments »
Check out the video from Vampire Weekend for Giving Up The Gun — a track of their latest record.
"We had RZA presiding over the tennis match. Lil Jon came down to give some tennis tips. Jake Gyllenhaal drank himself out of the competition; Joe Jonas tried, but did not succeed. There was a lot of rigorous competition, pyrotechnics, and a little bit of milk to cap it all off."
Coachella 2010 Line Up AnnouncedBy Editor in Music on January 21st, 2010 | No Comments »
It's official: the lineup for Coachella 2010 is out.
While we love Jay-Z, we're not so sure we like the potential underlying implications of someone so mainstream playing Coachella, which has up until now — even with the big headliners they've had — remained indie at heart. Given the rest of the lineup, though, we don't think this signals a shift, just a blip on the radar.
Who are we excited about? The xx, of course, Vampire Weekend, P.i.L., Passion Pit, Erol Alkan, Grace Jones, LCD Soundsystem, MGMT, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Band of Skulls, Thome Yorke, Phoenix, Orbital, Gary Numan, Miike Snow, The Big Pink, Florence and The Machine, Plastikman, Delphic, and John Waters!
Click here for all the details. See you in the desert.

If you click through, you'll find an embedded player where you can listen to every track and follow by purchasing the record if you're so inclined. It definitely exceeded our very high expectations. We love it.

Ratings & Reviews
Cassandra and team were probably the best I've ever seen. The way Cassandra handled the negotiations with the house was top notch. Was always kept informed on the status of everything. Set a date for closing hit the date. Very knowledgeable about the area and hoa for certain places. She definitely does homework on the properties before showing.
Cassandra is the best realtor you possibly can have both on the sellers side and buyers side. We have used her for both and she is fantastic. She goes above and beyond the call of duty and somehow makes you feel like you are her only client. I want Cassandra on my team every time I would need to close a deal she is extremely responsive and doesn't let anything fall through the cracks. We had an extremely difficult foreclosure we bought with equally difficult financing and Cassandra and her team overcame every hurdle and tackled every challenge and we ended up closing the deal and moving into our fantastic house with a ton of equity. You will not regret working with her she is beyond amazing.
My wife and I had interviewed a few real estate agents prior to listing our home for sales. We decided to list our home with the HomeHelperConsultants. Unfortunately, we had to let that agent go because he wasn't responsive to our calls. We did not hear from him after the house has been on the market for a month and half. Left messages but he wouldn't return our calls. Anyways, a friend of the family had recommended Cassandra Skelley to us. She has been nothing but amazing. We felt very comfortable working with her. We received weekly updates of the house. We had our house sold and were happy with the results. She provided nothing but the best customer service. Would highly recommend..
My fiancé and I found Cassandra through a mutual friend beings that we didn't know anyone in the real-estate market. Our first home buying experience could not have gone any smoother. With this being our first home, we did not know much about the process until we met Cassandra. She is very knowledgable about real-estate and was always there when we needed her. I would highly recommend her to anyone we know and we look forward to using her in the future!
We are very happy with the job Cassandra Skelley did in selling our home. She was respectful of our wishes and concerns. Whenever we called, emailed or messaged her, she was quick to answer our questions. Cassandra was never pushy or demanding. It was great working with her.
Cassandra helped my husband and I with both the selling of our townhouse and the purchase of our new home, and I cannot think of enough wonderful things to say about her and her real estate expertise! She guided us every step of the way, and helped to make the process as streamlined and smooth as possible. She is incredibly knowledgeable, always professional, and has a wonderful sense of humor and positive spirit - and if you've ever sold or purchased a home, you know how invaluable this is!! We felt like she really listened to our needs in both the selling and buying process, and helped us to find the house that was just right for us and our family. She is a gem, and we will most definitely be using Cassandra for all of our future real estate needs!!
Cassandra and I met as the result of her bringing a buyer to my property that was for sale. Because of complications with zoning the buyer was unable to follow through with the sale. Being exposed to her through this process I realized I needed to have her represent our interests and I asked her to become our representative, it became a partnership.
The same issues that presented difficulty to the buyer she brought to me when we met continued until recently. We spoke often and made plans to accommodate clients, legal council and she showed the property personally at my request.
I told her after I asked her to represent the me that I had gone from the worst broker the best broker I have ever worked with. I have been involved with 9 property purchases and/or sales with more to come in the future. I have not plans of ever using any other source than Cassandra.
James Card
I didn't realize the potential of my house until Cassandra showed us what we could get. Her confidence on value makes you feel reassured. Our home was a very unique home that required the right customer and even though it was also during the holiday season we sold it in less than three months. I really didn't think we would sell during the holidays. Cassandra also helped us on the purchase of our new home and through the process she got us exactly what we wanted. There was another offer when we came in but she helped us get it. What i love most is how quick she is to respond and is there when you need her.
I highly recommend Cassandra to anyone looking for their new home in the Portland metro area. She helped me get into a home in Beaverton and was very accommodating even though her office is in Milwaukee (about 45 min drive most days). She is very knowledgeable about housing trends and potential pitfalls to look for. Her main goal was definitely getting me into the right home for me. I immediately liked that she is an entrepreneur with her own shop and is very driven in a competitive and sometimes volatile market. I had struggles with the lender I was referred and she quickly offered up her trusted lender as a second referral who I ended up going with. My round trip offer to move in date was a day over 30 days. It felt very smooth and fast the whole time. Thanks Casandra for all of your help!!

Takk for Maten Cafe, a Scandinavian eatery in Duluth's Technology Village has announced that it will soon be closing up shop.
The announcement came on their Facebook page today. "It is with great disappointment that I am closing Takk for Maten Cafe," the post from Friday night read. "Many friends have walked through our doors and we leave with so many wonderful memories. We will truly miss all of you. Thank you for your kindness, support and patronage," it went on to say.
They don't know the exact closing date, but that should become clear in the next few days.
The breakfast, brunch, and sandwich shop has been in business at that location at 11 E Superior St. for more than 3 years. It was located in the Sons of Norway building before that.

I have been recently diagnosed with Celiac and DH, about a week ago. I've managed to regulate my diet, somewhat, for the past two days now. I am still breaking out horribly on my hands and I am guessing it's from a medication I take for sleep. Trazodone. I've been reading that there are a lot of medications out there that contain gluten. I've decided not to take it tonight and for the next few nights, just to see if anything improves.
Does anyone else have issues with certain medications? Did you have to stop them all together?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

There seems to be an utter lack of real information on the subject of stick bombs. I started the Wikipedia page on stick bombs years ago, but it's since been mangled and corrupted with erroneous information, so it's all but worthless. Most of my kinetic-art techniques like the clever lever and the herringbone are completely my own invention, but stick bombs do have a bit of history apart from my own efforts.
The origins of stick bombs are obscured in murkiness. When I first learned how to make the basic single-celled stick bombs back in the late 1970s, they were referred to as "Chinese stick puzzles" which may or may not indicate an Asiatic origin to them. Considering that flat sticks of some sort have probably been around for centuries, if not millennia, I don't find this implausible at all. Even if they weren't invented in China, I wouldn't be surprised that basic stick bombs have been around for a long time. My own father recalls that his cousins were playing with stick bombs back in the 1950s, so they've been around for at least a few generations.
As for me, I learned the art of making stick bombs back in 1977 or so, when I was in the seventh grade. My memory is fuzzy on this, but I vaguely recall that my instructor was a junior-high friend of mine, Harold Johnson. We were both on the track team where I distinguished myself as being the worst sprinter and long-jumper in my school's history, with Harold close behind. To pass time on track meets, we started chucking stick bombs to amuse ourselves.
The next notable event in the history of stick bombs was on July 27, 2007 when I made my first public attempt at a world-record stick bomb. I successfully detonated an ortho-weave bomb with 1,940 sticks in the city of Inver Grove Heights before a small audience. Later in 2007, I invented the diamond weave which was the first alternate to the ortho weave. In March of 2008, I had an exhibition at the Exhibitor 2008 trade show in Las Vegas where I created several stick bombs that were enjoyed by a large audience. Near the end of 2008, I came up with my first stick-bomb mosaic image of a smiley face. The images below are of the smiley-face mosaic and the diamond weave.
A final note: if you're going to play with stick bombs of any sort, you MUST practice 'safe sticks' and wear safety goggles. Some of the weaves, especially if done with the smaller popsicle sticks, can pack a lot of power. If you're a geek worthy of your pocket protector, you should already realize the value of protective equipment. It's hard to be cool and sophisticated when you have a popsicle stick lodged in your forehead...

Here is another poem that I have written. The road made me decide to try to write poetry again.
Today's first was a trip down an unknown road. I was driving along and saw a road that I had never been down. When I turned onto the road I saw the sign with all the curves and a 10 mph speed limit. I thought "oh, this is going to be interesting!"
The road just keep winding around as you can see by the signs. Since it is still wintry looking it wasn't a gorgeous drive. I think I will drive it again this spring once the fields are planted and the trees and grass are turning green. I think it will really be pretty then. The trees will overhang the road in some places. The road actually wound around and came back out to the main road. So it was just a little detour in life!
I spent time talking to people everywhere I went today. The boy who works at the fast food place I stopped in was apologizing for my wait and I told him that I had plenty of time. He was working a 10 hour shift. He said that many customers like to yell at him because things don't come out fast enough. He said, "I don't know why everyone is in such a hurry?"
I enjoyed talking with everyone. The people in front of me in line had a large family, that's what was taking a while for me to get waited on. We discussed the beautiful weather we were having today. Tomorrow is supposed to be even better! I think people are starting to feel like spring is coming.
I talked to the lady in front of me at the grocery store line. She was having a hard time with the girl who worked there. The girl wasn't taking time to listen to the customer and so the customer started to get frustrated. She was actually very patient, the clerk just wasn't listening and had no personal skills. Her patience lasted, but I think she left the store with a bad experience.
I hope you will take time to talk to the people around you and spend some time listening.
My Inspiration For Doing The Year of Firsts
As you may know I am doing a first every day this year. I read the book I Dare me by Lu Ann Cahn. Lu Ann has a website and has published a book talking about her year of firsts. I read the book and it motivated me to try a year of firsts. Lu Ann is at luanncahn.com and her blog has all her firsts. She determined that a first could be something you hadn't done in 10 years. Here is my A Year of Firsts. Make sure to go see my guest post on Lu Ann's blog and leave a comment.

Three people were charged with trespassing after they were allegedly caught in a condemned building Monday night.
Police say officers were called to a home on the 1000 block of Ranier Drive shortly before 9 p.m. after a neighbor reported seeing a man climbing into the home through window, and then seeing flashlight beams.
When officers got to the home, they determined that the home was condemned and therefore no one was allowed in. Police set up containment and yelled for the people inside to come out. Police say two people walked out, and were immediately charged with trespassing.
Officers say they later found a third person hiding in the garage. He was charged with trespassing and failure to exit.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department also responded after police noticed that the house was filled with smoke. Police say the smoke was from several smoldering fire pits that were put up in the house.
Police identified the three in the home as Daniel Garcia, Yvonne Vigil and James Fahey.

All-time fav. horse name?
Whats your favorite male and female horse name?
my favorite name is rhydian, it means rusty so it could really be a boy or girl name ! i also like the name autumn
My all time favorite boy name is Danny, after the movie. I finally have a horse that fits the name! For girls, I like Roxy & Bella or Belle.
Fury, after the books...
male- Deacon, i used to work at a Trakehner breeding farm and that was the name of the chestnut stallion, he was one of my all time fav horses and i loved his name.
female- Eeroywn, it was the name of my chestnut dressage DWB mare.
funny theyre both off chestnut horses which isnt even my fav color lol
Heifer for a girl and well can not say what I call the stallions at times.
I really like Spirit for a stallion or a gelding and I like Scribble for a mare haha
lol, my geldings nick name is donkey, since its nicer than some of the other things I can call him when kids are around (no offense to donkey people of course, love the long ears, as well as cows!)
Other than that, I like the topic of names. I personally have always done well with horses named after small animals, like Mouse, Possum, Badger, Bug, etc. I have never gotten along with a horse named Star (not that they are bad, they and I just don't quite click). Just like I never had a good relationship with a guy whose name was Billy, or any version of that name. As a kid, I loved the name Charisma for a mare, I remember it was on that show "Hey Dude". I currently have a horse in my barn named Rebel that lived up to that with his owners, but is actually a big puppy dog. I also knew a bolter named Renegade, he had the name before the issue, go figure. They say that people that name their animals people names are more likely to treat the animals like people. Don't know about that one. Heck, I have cats named No No, Ya Ya, and Maybe. I think we just started running out of names. Now, I really don't care what the horse's name is, many of them just go by "dork" or "goober" or "mare".
I love Pistols name. I'm trying to think of horses over the years that I have known who have had great names...
There was a Lancelot and Dragon. I love the name Black. Since I've already had a horse named Black I geuss I'd have to go with a Cobalt instead...

Herd hopes to carry momentum on road
HUNTINGTON -- Marshall University head coach Tom Herrion said East Carolina is an amazing comeback team, a team that plays from behind as well as anyone in the nation.
So, when East Carolina reduced Marshall's 20-point halftime lead to 14 with six quick points to begin the second half of a Saturday night men's basketball contest in Cam Henderson Center the Thundering Herd needed a wakeup call.
Herrion called a timeout with 17:44 left to play, Marshall responded with the next 11 points and was back on track for a 77-56 victory. D.D. Scarver got the run going with a 3-point shot, followed by Dre Kane's layup. Scarver made another 3-pointer before Dennis Tinnon converted a three-point play.
"I thought our energy level was low" to begin the half," Herrion said. "It took us two minutes and the timeout to get our energy level back up."
The spurt also brought Marshall's season-best home crowd of 6,056 back to life.
Marshall, now 9-9 for the season and 2-1 in Conference USA, needs to find similar energy for its next games, a road swing to Southern Miss (15-4, 4-0) on Wednesday and Memphis (14-3, 3-0) on Saturday.
Both games on the road are televised. Wednesday's 7 p.m. game at Southern Miss is on CSS (Ch. 68 on Huntington cable) while Saturday's 2 p.m. game at Memphis is an FSN broadcast (FS Ohio Ch. 31 and Root Sports Ch. 27).
"We have to be really focused and make sure we're doing the right things," Tinnon said. "Road games are hard to win."
Marshall took advantage of having a full week to prepare for East Carolina (11-6, 2-2) because of a bye in the schedule created by moving the annual West Virginia game from its normal January slot to early December.
Herrion said the team had good practices during the week while East Carolina played on Wednesday.
"I thought our preparation was outstanding," the coach said. "I thought we took advantage of managing bodies in terms of when to ease off a little bit. We looked like the fresher team.
"We were able to game plan a little longer for East Carolina, a day or two longer, with no mid-week game. We haven't had that here this early in the season because of the West Virginia game historically."
Marshall raced to a 12-0 lead and pulled away, 27-4, with 7:57 to go until halftime. Forward Elijah Pittman had 13 of his 19 points in the first half.
Pittman also helped do a good job of guarding Maurice Kemp of the Pirates.
Kemp came in as C-USA's top scorer with an 18.3 average. He scored 10 on 5-for-15 shooting.
"Elijah was guarding him most of the time," Tinnon said. "We put good pressure on him. We kept him out of his comfort zone and took away his right driving, which he loves to do."
Kane scored 22 while Scarver and Tinnon both netted 11 points. Tinnon also had 12 rebounds in the senior forward's fifth double-double performance of the season. Nigel Spikes had 11 rebounds.
East Carolina forward Robert Sampson, the son of Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame member Ralph Sampson, collected 17 rebounds and led the Pirates to a 47-42 advantage in that category. Point guard Miguel Paul scored 17. Sampson and Akeem Richmond both added 10 points.
Marshall won for the first time in six games this season when it was outrebounded because it shot well from the field (47.6 percent), kept its turnovers down to 13 and held the league's highest-scoring team (78.3) well below its average.
The Herd could have added to the margin by making more than 10 of 23 free throw attempts. The Pirates also struggled at the foul line, making 10 of 21.

Democrats and their old and new media fan clubs have been touting the administration's poll figures for months now. But something is afoot — and you can tell by their relative reluctance to bring up poll figures that the pattern is not one they like.
First, we see an interesting trend in the president's approval numbers:
During March, the President's overall approval on a daily basis has ranged from 56% to 60%. During February, the range was from 57% to 62%. In January, the range was from 60% to 65%.
If this keeps up, by November 2010 (just to pick a month at random) he'll be in George W. Bush territory.
Congressional Democrats aren't doing much better. One poll has the congressional generic race tied. Another has Republicans narrowly ahead. Could it have something to do with AIG bonuses, the Democrats' corruption scandals, the pork-barrel spending, or the tax-hike plans? (You can see why Democrats want to talk about Rush Limbaugh.)
But most interesting is the shift in sentiment toward the Democratic agenda. To be blunt, the public has had it with bailouts. For example, 76% oppose more money for car companies. Or perhaps it is spending in general that has turned off the public. We see, "A new national poll indicates that support for the stimulus plan that passed Congress last month is dropping and suggests that there is no appetite among Americans for another spending bill."
What does all this mean? A fair reading, I think, is that the president's popularity is fleeting — and his policies are running into the buzz saw of public opinion. Congress will have a choice: follow his agenda or the public's aversion to pork-a-thon spending and bailout mania. Congressmen are exquisitely attuned to their own self-interest and survival, so I'm betting they'll pick option #2.

I guess the only thing holding this this restaurant together is the lack of competition by a diner or no frills place in the neighborhood. One of the most overpriced (relative to food), inconsiderate service, and average experiences I've had lunch at in quite some time. The waiters speak little English and actually take pleasure in ripping you off and ignoring your requests. Unfortunately as there's such a long wait to get in and lunch time, there is no incentive to improve and I actually think it gets worse each time I get dragged here.

Salad for $6 consists of old lettuce leaves with brown edges. Burger is dry and crummy. No reason to go there except its location in tourist midtown and there is no other place to eat at a reasonable price. Best to return to Minnesota as soon as possible.
Posted by bob on 12/11/2012
I ordered food from this establishment last week and they never called me to let me know my food had arrived. I finally get my food and it is cold so I called them about it and said it was my problem, not theirs.
Posted by Aaron on 02/18/2012
Very average place. Food is of acceptable quality but you would get better service at a fast food chain than here. I would not return.
Posted by Anonymous on 05/20/2011
Service was only plus of this restaurant. I was waiting for my friend one sunny day and I thought Id get a small bite to go from the closest restaurant. This was it. I looked quickly at the menu and ordered the first thing I saw, soup, to go. It was tomato. Apparently it was supposed to be creamy tomato because when I opened the lid it looked pink...and tasted exactly like Campbells. Ew. I paid about 5 bucks for it so didnt want to throw it away. I gulped about 2/3rds then threw it away. I just could not finish it. Over priced. Yucky. Skip it.
Posted by Work next door on 09/15/2010
I work next door and when my son comes into work, we often order from this place. Overall, the food is good, but from time to time the execution is off. Last time, the grilled cheese and turkey burger were fine, but the fries were hard as rocks. Value also not that great, but hey its midtown.
Posted by Pamela Wittmeier on 09/29/2009
This is the last time I will order from the 87th St. and 3rd Avenue Burger Heaven. I ordered a ceasar salad and they delivered it with no parmesean chesse! When I called and the manager sent the cheese, an hour later, the cheese was stale. The crutons were stale; the dressing had no seasoning...it was just plain oil. I also order a side of strawberries. I was charged $2.95 for the strawberries. When I opened the strawberries, they had only given me 4 whole strawberries that were cut into halves!!!

No matter how long you've been knitting or what your knitting style, understanding the structure of the knitted fabric and how the stitches are related to one another is the key to becoming an expert knitter. We'll have fun exploring what it really means to take a length of string and turn it into a fabric. You'll leave class with the confidence and ability to fix mistakes, take shortcuts, and be the master of your stitches.

It is an 8-wk program and there is a $25.00 charge for the workbook and relaxation CD.
What topics are covered?
At the workshop, you'll get a participant workbook that covers the following topics:
- Knowing if you're ready to quit smoking
- Medicines to help you quit smoking
- Lifestyle changes that make quitting easier
- Preparing for Quit Day

@mousekemom- We do often have promotions that run on our KandCompany.com site – we don't only do facebook.

Jonathan Riehl's Recent Discussions
Do more GOP or Dem SCOTUS picks go awry?
The great conservative philosopher Russell Kirk once wrote that conservatism is not an ideology, but rather a state of mind. Sadly, for many who either are part of the modern conservative movement - or who admire its success from the outside - it's sad to see how ideology and dogma have now taken over most of the political life on the right. This is no longer the conservative movement of William F. Buckley. It's the rightwing echo chamber of Fox News.When thinking about the Supreme Court and expectations of conservative appointees, Kirk's maxim is very relevant. Among the remaining bastions of serious conservative political thought -- forums like the Federalist Society -- legal thinking and debate over Constitutional questions is alive and well. (The tea party know-nothings have not taken over completely.) And contrary to the perceptions of many, there is a great deal of disagreement among serious conservative legal thinkers on important Constitutional questions. So when a conservative like John Roberts or Anthony Kennedy votes in a way that doesn't align with the Republican party's political agenda, they are not necessarily being "inconsistent" or somehow "disloyal." The are representing a much more important conservative tradition that rejects ideology and prides itself on independence, philosophical reflection, the exchange of ideas, and creative deliberation.See more

North Carolina: Who Is Driving The Conversation?
John Edwards was left with a hung jury this week, and the politics of North Carolina just got trickier. The calculations of the Justice Department may or may not be helping the Obama campaign's broader efforts here in November: A former N.C. Senator and presidential contender has captured headlines again, and no one on the Democratic strategy rooms can be very happy about it - whatever misgivings folks on both sides of the aisle may have about the wisdom of the prosecution's case and its legal merits.
Then the political calculation: North Carolina is front and center this cycle; a number of recent ad-buy surveys showed that our state was among the top nationwide, in the past week both the Triangle (Raleigh) and Triad (Charlotte) markets are being flooded by advertising dollars, especially in the wake of the recent "Amendment One" vote against same-sex marriage equality.
Who will be the messenger down South? The Massachusetts Moderate, Mitt Romney? And then...the other bizarre event of the week, aside from the Edwards mistrial, candidate Romney's decision to stand with Donald Trump, the birther-in-chief of the anti-Obama camp. Polls have shown that suspicions about the president's citizenship and religion are highest in the old Confederacy, including North Carolina. Maybe Romney's decision to ally himself with Trump a cynical move to associate himself with Trump a strategic ploy to get Southern conservatives, who still dislike Obama for his background, or his race. Or maybe it's just a play for Trump dollars. Time - and the Super PAC ad content - will tell. There's plenty more of that advertising on the way for us, especially as convention time in Charlotte draws near.See more
Is Mitt Romney avoiding Massachusetts?
Romney might be wise to do so, at least from a short-term standpoint - as time wears on, people will hopefully see through his blatant evasiveness. As his interview with Time's Mike Halperin showed, Romney is relentlessly set on deflecting questions about himself to questions about the president.
Not only does Romney refuse to discuss his record as governor, he refuses to discuss anything specific about his much longer tenure at Bain Capital. Halperin now joins the growing pool of journalists who have learned that they get to ask the questions, but Romney answers them the way he wants (as the candidate himself put it).
When it comes to messaging, we are seeing that Romney follows orders - at least when he's not talking about less important matters, such as the height of trees in Michigan. His advisors are checking the numbers and see that this election is only winnable if it framed as a referendum on Obama and not a choice between the two, so don't look forward to any substantive discussion of Romney's policy record or private sector portfolio. At least as long as the Frank Luntz types are ordering up his vapid talking points.
Open Mike, May 12-13
Dick Lugar and the Self Destruction of the RightWhile the defeat of marriage equality in my home of North Carolina dominated the news this week, another bellweather result was the defeat of Sen. Richard Lugar in the Indiana Republican primary. One more victim of the extreme tea party right, Lugar was a pillar of the Republican old guard. His name can now be etched alongside the other great Republican Senators who have been targeted and ousted by right wing extremists who appear to neither understand nor value the Congress's purpose or legacy; especially so in the upper chamber, which is at dire risk of being able to consider itself the world's greatest deliberative body.Forced out: Sen. Robert Bennett. Sen. Olympia Snowe. Sen. Arlen Specter. And now Sen. Richard Lugar. The quality of debate, the possibility of compromise and progress for the nation, and the caliber of the deliberation in Congress are being directly harmed by these casualties. It should be of no consequence whether you share their political affiliation in considering this ongoing purge. What happened Tuesday was that we lost of one more superb legislator.See more
Will evolution on gay marriage help or hurt Obama?
Yesterday was a disappointing day to be a North Carolinian - the huge vote disparity was truly disheartening. But the situation presented the president with a rare opportunity to seize on negative news and force the discussion into a positive direction.
This was a genuine "rhetorical moment." Obama's choice to finally endorse marriage equality, in the wake of the N.C. defeat, is an act of moral and political courage; the power of a president's words can, indeed, confront the ballot defeat in our key battleground state.See more

By: BARRY MASSEY Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico is filling an open U.S. Senate seat in a race that has seen the candidates relentlessly punching away at each other over jobs, health care and taxes.
Voters decide Tuesday whether Democrat Martin Heinrich, Republican Heather Wilson or Independent American candidate Jon Barrie has offered the most appealing recipe for dealing with the nation's economic problems.
The winner will succeed Democrat Jeff Bingaman, who is retiring after 30 years in the Senate. The themes of the Senate campaign have mirrored many of those in the presidential race.
Heinrich has portrayed himself as a defender of the middle class and safety net programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
But Wilson blames Democratic policies for job losses and the nation's sputtering economy.

Celebrating the first-ever Small Business Community Hero
For our very first Small Business Community Heroes, I truly didn't know what to expect. I had a feeling that the people of Pittsburgh would rise up in support of their small business owners, and was I ever right. Nearly 60 nominations flooded in, blowing our goal out of the water, and giving us some really incredible nominees to choose from.
Scott Pipitone was one of those incredible nominees, and his nomination stood out from the crowd. Not only does he make financial contributions and sit on Boards of Directors, but he allots his time to other volunteer activities while involving his employees. I agree with what Betsy Benson, publisher and vice president of Pittsburgh Magazine, said about being impressed with his ability to instill a culture of volunteerism at his place of work. I couldn't have said it better myself.
On July 11 we celebrated Scott's achievements with an outdoor block party and dunk tank spectacular. Todd Sandford, head of small business for Direct Energy Business, shared this statistic: one out of every two employees in Pennsylvania works for a small business. That's just to show you how vital our small business community really is.
After check presentations to Presbyterian SeniorCare Foundation and the Good Grief Center for Bereavement Support,
Todd and Scott bravely took a seat in the dunk tank. Unfortunately, no Direct Energy employees were able to hit the target to take down Todd (he did get dunked though). Scott's employees lined up 30 deep to take their shot. Needless to say, neither was dry before the event was over.

One of twelve-year-old Esther Rogge's favorite things to do is to help people, especially men and women in uniform.
"Well no one ever says thank you to them and they have such a hard job," she said.
Esther started her thank you projects two years ago after a trip to the store.
"There was a sheriff's deputy parked there and we just wanted to say thanks and we started some little small talk and he was talking to us about how no one says thank you," she said.
She and her family started writing thank you cards to deputies, police, the military the fire department and the FBI.
But eventually she went from writing, to creating statues.
"it really made me feel really great that my daughter would think of someone else at 12 years old I didn't expect her to say 'dad can you help me make something for the fire department or police department,'" said Esther's dad Steven Rogge.
Today Esther paid a visit to the San Juan County Sheriff's Office to deliver the statue.
"for somebody that young to have the thought process that the to take into consideration the long hours men and women of law enforcement put in is pretty impressive for a young girl to think about what we go though so were very thankful," said Sgt. Kevin Burns.
Esther doesn't think she'll slow down on her projects, because she wants to keep showing her appreciation.
"It's making them feel so good it makes me want to keep doing more and more for them."
Esther has already made a statue for the Farmington Fire department. Next week, she plans on presenting a statue to state police, and is currently making another one for the Farmington police department.

that fish looking at me with a sad face? huh! lol!
definitely a must try when I am in Penang!
i tried the steamed clam with prawns the other day! really very appetizing! found out that they moved to this new location from batu lanchang/jelutong. i used to eat at that stall when i was younger (no wonder my brother said the bangkok chicken tastes familiar! lol)
The steam fish and bangkok chicken looks good. I want to go there and try out dee.
had dinner last saturday at this place, ordered the steam long tan, stewed pork leg and fried vege. taste left much to be desired and probably rank the worst i ever had, no repeat visit for sure.
Wanted to try out the food at Coconut Palms the other day. A strong moldy smell rushing into our nose when we opened the restaurant's door. We couldn't stand it and left the restaurant right away. Owner of the restaurant should upgrade their ventilation system and make sure all table linens are clean.
I heard some reviews about the food so I decided to try out with my family. The food does not meet up to my expectations as I usually have high standards for food. In fact, I still think one of the best Chinese restaurant in Penang is still Starview.
The food is so-so but worst of all is that we are over-charged on the 'special dessert'. The waitress told us that only for weekends there is a special dessert 'siukap', do we want to try. It is a jelly like substance served boiled in a coconut shell.
Luckily we decided to share – so we ordered 4 for a table of 8 pax. Guess what? The dessert cost RM24 each because they boiled ith with ginseng and stuff. Normally siukap costs about Rm5-7 only in other restaurants.
We feel that the waitress should have at least told us the price before recommending it. Imagine a table of 10 pax with 1 dessert each x RM24 = RM240 just for desserts which could be equivalent if not more than the either meal itself.
If you really want to try good Chinese food – think of Starview, CRC, Red Rock, Ocean Green to name a few.

Bicycling enthusiasts in Europe (of which there are many) are getting a present from Google today with the addition of biking directions in Google Maps for six new countries. Cyclists in Germany, France, Poland, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein can now pull down routes that take into account the available biking trails, paths, and lanes. This applies to mobile and desktop apps.
When biking directions are selected in Google Maps, it chooses routes that avoid busy streets, and sends riders down dedicated bike paths where available.Read More
