Colin Gardner
How are you supposed to wear them? i thought at the waste where the belt loops and the part that is up with the elastic waste was to go higher by your stomach to keep snow out and i thought that would be uncomfortable but i showed them to someone and they said it would be worn where the elastic part is at your waste and the waste with the belt loops would be lower to look baggy

Had temp given up on Hawaiin food due to lame eats around Gardena. finally gave it one last try--wow! That's all I have to say. get a combo your first time. It's like the good soul food of Detroit or New Orleans, or my mama's cooking- but Hawaiin.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/07/2008
I visited my first time with my wife and 3 kids. The place is a nice hole in the wall with a very friendly atmosphere and the pace is Hawaiian time. Must not be in a hurry. Don't be turned off by having to seat yourself. We figured it out when no one waited on us when we walked in. Looking around, most available seating available was for 4 and the center aisle had a long family style table with 2 other parties already there. We figured it out that we seat ourselves here and sat in the long table. The 2 waitresses were extremely friendly and brought us our menus as normal. My family all ordered wonton min's with a couple of side dishes of fried rice. I ordered a Hawaiian specal of lau lau and kahlua pork with the standard 2 scoops of rice and scoope of mac salad. Our neigbors, party of 7 was waiting for their food. We must have waited for 10 minutes before the food began to show for our neighbors. Their first plate was a french toast. Saw 3 very large pieces of what looked like Kings bread. If I wanted french toast, I would come here. Their other dishes arrived with good cuts of spam dishes, some meat patties, all with eggs and scoops of fried rice with sides of potatoes. I think this is what took so long. Oh and you don't all get the food at once. So expect to wait. The portions are good. If you are hungry, you should order another scoop of rice. Our food arrived and the won ton min, although ordered was a large, it was the size of around a medium at the previous Harry's. The flavor was good, only a bit too salty was the soup. My kids added water to drink the soup. I wonder next time I would ask them to water down the soup. The noodles and everything in it was good. The fried rice was excellent. If I were hungry for saimin, I would order it with a side of something else. I loved my dish of lau lau and kahlua pork. It was great with rice. No shoyu needed. I would come here again and order the plate dishes.

A taste of Hawaii... this place is a little bit of a whole in the wall, but the food is SO worth the trip. The lau lau is one of the best I've had on the mainland, and their kalua pork is also mouth-watering.

Elkhart Lake, Wisc. (June 23, 2013) - Billy Johnson finished 15th in Saturday's Johnsonville Sausage 200 at the 4.05-mile road course of Road America in his first NASCAR Nationwide Series start of the season.
A strong qualifying effort put the team in seventh position for the drop of the green flag, within one lap Johnson had maneuvered his way up four spots to third.
On lap 14, Crew Chief Seth Barbour called his driver down pit road to take four tires, a round of track-bar in and two cans of Sunoco fuel. Unfortunately for the team, Johnson was penalized for being too fast on pit road and was shuffled back to the tail end of the field.
Johnson and the No. 16 Ford Ecoboost team began picking off cars one by one and by lap 31 had already moved up to eighth position when the caution came out, Barbour called his driver down pit road to take a quarter-round out, four tires and two cans of fuel. The team's blistering stop gained them one more position on pit road moving Johnson up to seventh with 19 laps to go.
On lap 39, Johnson reclaimed the lead as he reported in the car being just a tick tight off the corners.
Johnson was shuffled back to sixteenth after contact on lap 47 sent him off the track, this time Barbour called him down pit road to fix the left front damage and take four fresh tires and two cans of fuel.
When the dust settled, Johnson crossed the finish line in 15th after battling from the back of the field to the front several times. Johnson's next NNS race in the No.16 will be the New England 200, July 13th at Loudon, NH.

Mabel Rae Willis made her entry into the world, last month, weighing in at 9 lbs, 1 oz. Dad Bruce Willis and mom Emma Heming Willis could not have been happier, especially Bruce, because he now has four awesomely named daughters. We're talking about Rumer, Scout and Tallulah — his girls with Demi Moore. It's a been a month since Mabel's arrival and we've been dying to take a peek at her. Luckily, her mother obliged us. Emma, less than a day ago, tweeted this message, "A beautiful day in Budapest with the loves of my life. Daddy and Mabel cracking each other up" along with the photograph you see above. It's so adorable that our ovaries just exploded. It's also pretty cool that baby Mabel's been to Budapest being just a month old!

H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) was a reclusive scribbler of horror stories for the American pulp magazines that specialized in Gothic and science fiction in the interwar years. He often published inWeird Talesand has since become the key figure in the slippery genre of "weird fiction." Lovecraft developed an extraordinary vision of feeble men driven to the edge of sanity by glimpses of malign beings that have survived from human prehistory or by malevolent extra-terrestrial visitations. The ornate language of his stories builds towards grotesque moments of revelation, quite unlike any other writer. This new selection brings together nine of his classic tales, focusing on the "Cthulhu Mythos," a cycle of stories that develops the mythology of the Old Ones, the monstrous creatures who predate human life on earth. The stories collected here include some of Lovecraft's finest, including "The Call of Cthulhu," "At the Mountains of Madness," "The Dunwich Horror," "The Colour Out of Space," "The Shadow over Innsmouth," and "The Shadow out of Time." The volume also includes vital extracts from Lovecraft's critical essay, "Supernatural Horror in Literature," in which he gave his own important definition of "weird fiction." In a fascinating introduction, Roger Luckhurst gives Lovecraft the attention he deserves as a writer who used pulp fiction to explore a remarkable philosophy that shockingly dethrones the mastery of man. Featuring a chronology, bibliography, and informative notes, this is a must-have critical edition for Lovecraft aficionados, and the best introduction to his work for first-time visitors to his strange fictional world.
Author Biography
Roger Luckhurst is Professor of Modern Literature at Birkbeck College, University of London. An expert on science fiction and Gothic literature, he is the author of The Invention of Telepathy, Science Fiction, The Trauma Question, and The Mummy's Curse: The True History of a Dark Fantasy.

Good Food, Good Prices, Cozy and highly unpretentious, accomodating and courteous staff and BYO too. So what more do you want in small Italian restaurant?
Posted by A Frequent NYC Visitor on 10/30/2010
Some of the very best Italian food I've eaten anywhere in the NYC. And a superb value, too: prices are very reasonable. Excellent and personalized service. The ambiance is quaint and cozy. A true bargin.
Posted by addisondewitt on 02/22/2010
The Ultimate Pasta is a small, Mom and Pop type operation on the second floor of an old brownstone. The food is always excellent. (Their Chicken Scaparella is fantastic. Try it with sausage added and know gastronomical greatness! The wait staff is friendly and helpful. No matter how crowded the place gets they never get rattled or lose their friendly demeanor. Only problem, and it's a small one, is that the place IS small and can get crowded between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m. That is a minor price to pay for eating at this excellent bistro. Heartily recommended. (P.S. Just downstairs the restaurant runs The Ultimate Pizza, a mostly take out place that reminds you why you liked pizza in the first place!)
Posted by Anonymous on 12/07/2009
The food is hearty, tasty and satisfying. The service is attentive. The atmosphere is charming. My favorites are the ceasar salad, chicken parm, and all of the pastas. I love that it's a BYO - it definitely helps to keep things recession friendly.
Posted by Hombre on 05/09/2009
Have been here a few times recently and am almost afraid to let the secret out! The food really is quite good, the portions enought for two, the meat sauce and the marinara sauce are both rich and flavorful! The warm fresh bread is a nice touch. Service is friendly and attentive. BYOB tops off this little spot's charm. Oh well...now the secret is out!
Posted by Bernard Dworkin on 12/10/2008
According to the menu on this MenuPages site, veal parmigiana and spaghetti is $12.95. I just got back from the place and I ordered that dish and it was $16.75. As I left, I looked at the menu posted in the glass case outside the restaurant and the dish was $18.95. I need not comment further.
Posted by Bernard D on 02/19/2007
Use to be that this place had very tasty food. If you know, an italian restaurant must have a gerat tomato sauce to be good. Well they have changed the sauce from a rich, tangy base to a rather bland sauce. I can no longer urge you to enjoy something special here.

The inventor side of me loves this category on 1800doorbell.com. I am a history nut that loves things from "days of old", and that's what I think of when I see these products in this category.
The Bells and buzzers we show on this page are great for backdoor deliveries, customer service desks, and more. Mechanical bells are reliable and attractive and make a loud, distinctive sound.
The buzzers we are marketing below are loud and effective at notifying you when an event occurs. Whether you are wiring them to a push button for deliveries or connecting it to the 12V DC output on a driveway alert, commercial grade, loud products great for a variety of applications.
All purpose enclosed buzzer for use on single door operation. This is an enclosed unit that is light and compact. Use a wired pushbutton and a transformer to have a doorbell buzzer kit.
Wired, 2-1/2 inch chrome bell by Carlon. Small but loud, great for shops, shipping/receiving areas, etc. For single door operation, easy set up requires transformer, push button, wire.
The DH924 is a wired 4-inch buzzer/bell great to use in loud environments such as warehouses, workshops etc. If you need an above average sound for a loud environment, this is the one you should choose.
This nostalgic bell is great for entrances and exits to alert you when a door opens. The brass hammer produces a gentle chime/bell sound when the door is open.
The Firebell Indoor/Outdoor bells utilize a specially designed gong that gives out a loud mechanical resonant tone. NEW 24V version now available!
High Quality Hose Driveway Alarm Signal Bell. Works in conjunction with the Anchor & Hose Plug 819 and driveway signal hose up to 300 feet.
Remote Driveway Bell. Must use Driveway Signal Air Switch 8255330518. Used to power multiple Remote Chimes 8303350520 and Remote Bells 8273350519. Up to 300 feet of Driveway Signal Hose. Must also use Anchor & Hose Plug 819-3350517 with hose.
1800doorbell.com offers a wide selection of accessories for your doorbell. In this category you will find a wide array of products like doorbell buzzers, firebells, and antique classic doorbell products like a shop keeper's bells.
Doorbell buzzers such as the DH924 by Thomas & Betts are an extremely loud buzzer that when connected to a doorbell transformer and push button is an excellent door chime system for business, warehouse, or industrial application. The Buzzers featured on this page use a small hammer that strikes the bell to emit the loud ringing sound. We have a four inch bell, a 2 1/2 inch bell, and an enclosed bell.
Similar to the buzzer selection, we also have a selection of traditional bells, or aka "firebells." These are the bells you see in commercial locations, or schools, for example, to notify of an alarm. These products are extremely loud and effective at notifying users.
We also carry some unique products such as a Victorian shopkeepers bell, desk bells, and victorian mechanical doorbells. These elegant products provide nice decorative touches to any bed and breakfast, antique shops, and more.
I mentioned in the introduction how this was one of my favorite categories of products on 1800doorbell.com. That's because I like to tinker with our products and invent new ways to use them for home and businesses alike. There are a couple of unique applications I would love to share with you.
A couple of years ago, a zoo from Minnesota called us. They had a Polar Bear exhibit and was looking for a buzzer of some sort they could use to help train the bear. What they wanted to do was train the bear to leave its room when they needed to clean it. The purchased a 2-1/2 inch buzzer, a transformer, and a push button. There was an adjacent room with a door that connected the temporary room they wanted to more the bear to and the bear's living quarters. After putting a plate of food in a temporary room, they would open to the door and immediately hit the buzzer. After a few sessions, the bear learned when he heard the buzzer there would be food in the other room. Now, when they need to clean the bear's living quarters, all they have to do is sound the buzzer and the bear will move itself to the other room.
Although not a typical use of the wired buzzers, it shows the versatility of the products. Most of our customers use the buzzers in a commercial environment when they need something louder than your "normal" doorbell. In a warehouse or workshop, the normal "ding-dong" sound produced by a residential chime will often go unnoticed. The buzzers on our site are loud and will not go unnoticed!
For exceptionally loud products, take a look at the three Firebells we carry at 1800doorbell.com. The "FIREBELL" is available in 12V or 24V models, and produce loud 80-85 dB bell sound. The units are outdoor rated when you install them with an approved weatherproof backbox. These are the Firebells approved for use with most Fire Alarm products.
We also carry signal bells manufactured by Milton Electronics. These are the signal bells used by dry cleaning facilities and gas stations to receive a notice when a car enters the area.
Finally, we are proud to carry the SS40 Victorian Desk Bell, the DH945 Victorian Shop Bell, and the DH950 Mechanical Doorbell. These solid brass products harken to the days of old with a touch of elegance and nostalgia they add to any room.

Former Plymouth Argyle striker Rhys Griffiths signs for Newport County
Posted: February 15, 2013|
FORMER Argyle striker Rhys Griffiths has signed for promotion-chasing Football Conference club Newport County.
Griffiths, 32, was set to train with his new team-mates for the first time today, ahead of their away game against Woking tomorrow.
Newport are in fourth position in the Conference, five points behind leaders Grimsby Town but they have played one match fewer.
Griffiths, 32, had his contract at Argyle cancelled by mutual consent last month because he did not figure in the first team plans of manager John Sheridan.
Newport boss Justin Edinburgh said: "Rhys is a proven goalscorer and when we knew that he could become available we kept an eye on the situation.
"He just adds another dimension to the team and he will score goals. We are delighted to have him on board going into a crucial part of the season."
Griffiths (pictured) was signed by Argyle from Welsh Premier League club Port Talbot Town last summer on a one-year contract after a trial period.
He put his career as a firefighter in south Wales on hold to move into professional football for the first time.
Griffiths went on to make seven starts and 10 substitute appearances for Argyle and scored three goals.

Google to invest 70,000 USD in Drupal
Rumor has it that Google will sponsor 14 Drupal developer stipends in this year's Summer of Code program (SoC). To inspire young developers to work on FOSS projects during the summer, Google will provide a stipend of 5,000 USD to each student developer, of which 4,500 USD goes to the student and 500 USD goes to Drupal project (or to the mentors). With 14 accepted applications this adds up to a 70,000 USD investment over a three-month period.
We're still waiting for an official announcement from Google, but the screenshot below shows that 14 projects appear to have been approved.
A screenshot of Google's mentor administration panel which shows the accepted applications.
Thanks to Google, Drupal's SoC organizers and the 36 Drupal mentors to bring on board a range of fresh talents.
May 24, 2006
I hope this is true. Drupal is by far the best open source CMS around, and I'd love to see more support go into it... Making it only better.
Now THAT is very, very, VERY cool if it happens.
http://code.google.com/soc/drupal/about.html: that is fourteen accepted applications. It looks like 18 applications because they listed timcn's application five times. Once per mentor.

By Terri Moon CronkAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 26, 2012 White cardboard boxes full of food collected at Defense Department agencies stand stacked in a food bank warehouse here, ready for sorting and repackaging to feed those in need.
In the northeast quadrant of the city, the Capital Area Food Bank on Taylor Street receives, organizes and distributes the nonperishable goods that DOD and other federal agencies contribute to the "Feds Feed Families" campaign, said Molly McGlinchy, food resources coordinator at the warehouse.
"It's a phenomenal support system for us," she said of the annual federal food campaign, which began June 15 and ends in late August.
"[The food drive] changes and grows every year," McGlinchy said. She's worked at the food bank since Feds Feed Families' inception in 2009.
Food donations across the federal government in the Feds Feed Families 2011 campaign totaled 5.7 million pounds -- nearly three times the goal of 2 million pounds. DOD exceeded its own goal of 733,800 pounds of food, officials said. This year, DOD looks to collect 1.5 million pounds of food donations for nationwide distribution, more than twice last year's goal.
"We are so grateful for the participation from all of the federal employees who donate each month," McGlinchy said. "For every 1.3 pounds of donated food the Capital Area Food Bank receives, we are able to distribute about one meal to our neighbors."
Once the donations are delivered to the food bank, the Feds Feed Families contributions blend in with the food bank's overall nonperishable offerings in a new, 100,000-square-foot warehouse on Puerto Rico Avenue. The new building opens this week to meet the growing demands on the nearby 32-year-old, 42,000-square-foot warehouse on Taylor Street.
Food bank officials say 641,000 people in the Washington metro area are at risk of hunger. Feds Feed Families is led by the Chief Human Capital Officers Council, in partnership with the Office of Personnel Management and the Defense and Agriculture departments, according to its website.
A fact sheet on the site says the food bank expects to feed 478,100 people this year, with federal contributions a part of that.
Serving a network of 700 nonprofit groups, the food bank distributes to groups as small as church pantries, which might offer food on a monthly basis, and as large as soup kitchens that serve daily meals, McGlinchy said.
The food bank serves people in the District of Columbia and in Maryland's Montgomery and Prince George's counties. A second warehouse in Virginia serves 230 nonprofit feeding programs and agencies, and handles the city of Alexandria and Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William counties.
Military bases and other federal agencies outside the national capital metro area distribute food to local agencies to meet the needs of the hungry, she said.
"[We] get a wide range of donations and have the ability to distribute different types of food to different organizations," McGlinchy said, adding that the food bank does the food collection legwork for its smaller partner agencies.
Also, because the federally contributed food consists of canned items, distribution sometimes lasts through the rest of the year, McGlinchy said.
Most people who donate likely are aware of the current difficult economic climate, she said. The campaign is run during the summer months for a variety of reasons, she explained. One reason is that some children might not get their nutritional needs met while out of school.
"I think people who donate are thankful for what they have, and want to reach out to the community," McGlinchy said. While Feds Feed Families accepts only canned goods and cannot contribute money, she said, the food bank receives monetary donations through the Combined Federal Campaign.
With a wide variety of contributed food, McGlinchy said, the Feds Feed Families program contribution guidelines allow the food bank to carry the necessary items. "We get exactly what we ask for," she said.
The food bank for Feds Feed Families' has a "most wanted list," which includes:
-- Fruits canned in light syrup or their own juices;
-- Low-sodium or "no salt added" canned vegetables;
-- Multigrain cereals;
-- Brown and white rice, oatmeal, bulgur, quinoa, couscous, and macaroni and cheese;
-- Canned proteins, such as tuna, salmon, chicken, peanut butter and beans;
-- Low-sodium canned foods such as low-sodium beef stew, chili, and chicken-noodle and turkey and rice soups;
-- All kinds and sizes of 100-percent juice, including juice boxes;
-- Whole grain snacks low in added sugars, including individually packaged snacks, cereal bars, pretzels and sandwich crackers; and
-- Baking goods, such as flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices and boxed mixes.

dients. Thus this Framework, while qualitatively providing descriptions of points on a continuum of relative concern about risk derived for the various types of data, does not include a metric for categorization of risk.
After considering the conclusions about risk in the draft monograph, FDA should make a decision to (1) take regulatory action, (2) not take regulatory action and continue to monitor for new data regarding safety, or (3) refer the dietary supplement ingredient to an advisory committee of multidisciplinary experts for a safety review.
It is expected that FDA may want further input from an advisory committee on many of the dietary supplement ingredients undergoing an integrative evaluation because only ingredients with significant potential for concern are likely to reach this stage, and outside evaluation may be critical to ensure that all relevant information was reviewed. Also, in cases where FDA does not have internal scientists with the appropriate expertise, it may be cost-effective to create an external advisory committee to provide further input on the safety of the dietary supplement ingredient. This could be an activity under the existing Food Advisory Committee of the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition of FDA, or it could be an additional committee, either standing or ad hoc, depending on the ingredients to be reviewed. See Annex 3-2 for additional discussion of the composition of an advisory committee.
Where the data and thus conclusions are not clear-cut, an external advisory committee would thus be constituted for the following reasons:
While there may be credible evidence that the ingredient may cause harm, further review may be needed by consultants with specific knowledge about the ingredient, as well as by consultants with specific knowledge about the safety issues raised, to interpret the totality of the data and derive conclusions and recommendations.
The available evidence may be of questionable scientific basis or it may be difficult to interpret.
Insufficient data may be available to allow the rationale for the decision to be clearly established.
It provides a mechanism for public input.
These reasons are only examples, as many other circumstances may trigger the need for external advisory committee review (See Annex 3-3 for committee composition).
After reviewing the information collected in the draft monograph and in the public information sessions envisioned as part of their deliberations,

Elvira's Movie Macabre series to return fall 2010

DVD releases in the works:
Now that the show has been revived with last September's debut of a new "Elvira's Movie Macabre", fans are wondering if there are DVD plans for it. One fan in particular, Scott Smith, asked about this at the official Facebook fan page of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Here's his question, and the answer:
* Scott Smith - Posts in an earlier discussion...stated that the new Elvira's Movie Macabre would be released on DVD after the first season. How many episodes constitute the first season? Has a company been selected to release this series? Will any extras be included in the DVD's?
* Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (official) - The show will be available on DVD after the season has aired. There are 26 episodes total, and the DVDs will include some great extras. We'll have more info for you on that later on this year.
So far 13 episodes have been aired in first-run syndication, so we're halfway to the end of the first season
I wonder if Shout! will pick them up. Someone somewhere has said the Shout! discs didn't sell too well so who knows if they'll pass on this one or not.

Eastfield Lodge, Leyburn in Wensleydale
A warm welcome awaits you at Eastfield Lodge, our comfortable guest house in one of the prettiest market towns in the Yorkshire Dales. Leyburn is a gateway to the Dales National Park and the principal town of Wensleydale. We are 300 yards from the picturesque and vibrant market square with its interesting shops, the market itself and its traditional tearooms and pubs.
From much of the town, including Eastfield Lodge, you can look westwards over a patchwork of fields and stone-clad hamlets, to Pennhill, the highest peak in the eastern Dales, which dominates many a glorious panorama in these parts. This is James Herriot country and it is a gem.
Our Beautiful Bedrooms & Other Rooms
We have eight en suite bedrooms and each is a pleasure to come back to after a day out. Immaculately clean, they are furnished individually with great taste. They have attractive en suites (all recently refurbished), tea/coffee making facilities, free wifi, flat-screen TV's (with DVD players) and other hospitality touches that make your stay special.
We have bright and sunny breakfast room, where we serve a good, locally-sourced breakfast, whether you opt for the healthy or hearty version – or a little bit of both! There is also a comfy living room with a woodburning stove, which roars away during the winter months. We love seeing guests relaxing in this room, perhaps chatting over a drink with other guests about where they have been and what they have seen. In the living room you can help yourself to tea and coffee throughout your stay, and when time allows us to do some baking, we leave out home-made cakes or biscuits to accompany that much-needed cup of tea on your return to the house in the mid/late afternoon. There is also a guest fridge, where you can chill a bottle of wine or beer.
The house has ample parking, a drying room, a small front garden and an adjoining Coach House. This is where we live, so we are close at hand if ever you need anything. We are Victor and Thurza Campbell and we want your stay at our special B&B in the Yorkshire Dales to be as pleasurable and as relaxing as possible.
More about Eastfield Lodge
Eastfield Lodge was acquired in 2006 by Collett's Mountain Holidays, a small walking holiday specialist with destinations in the Italian Dolomites, Pyrenees and Picos de Europa. Collett's wanted a guest house in the UK that in some ways mirrored their mountain holidays: (1) wonderful walks amidst beautiful 'hilly' landscapes to suit people of all levels of fitness (2) stunning drives to places of cultural, historical and natural interest and (3) delightful accommodation, where the hospitality is warm, welcoming and unassuming.
Eastfield Lodge has been awarded four stars by Visit England for its comfort, facilities, food, cleanliness and the access it offers to information on walks, places of interest and eating out. There is so much to see and do in this magical part of England. The walking is sublime. There is an abundance of places of interest in an area famous for the TV series 'All Creatures Great and Small' – the Dales National Park Visitor Centre, the Wensleydale Railway, the Forbidden Corner, Aysgarth Falls, Hardraw Force, Jervaulx Abbey, Bolton Abbey, Constable Burton Hall & Gardens, Thorp Perrow Arboretum, the Black Sheep Brewery… to name but a few.
You can also visit villages and towns which, like Leyburn, are amongst the most characterful in the entire country: Middleham (with its castle and racehorses), Richmond, Hawes, Kettlewell, Reeth and many others, famous for nothing but lovely to pass through on foot or by car. Further afield there is Ripon, Durham, York and Harrogate, all of which make a memorable day trip.
Once here, do exactly as you please. We understand if you prefer to be completely left to your own devices. We can provide you with what you need to gather many interesting ideas and create a succession of enjoyable days out whatever your interests.


text: The Streak finally struck out. The Avalanche, those dragon slayers, finally slew the beast that was the Chicago Blackhawks' 30-game points streak. The Avs didn't just stop the streak, either. They took it and smashed it over their knees in a convincing 6-2 win Friday at the Pepsi Center. The Blackhawks thus have a crooked number in that second column of their record, at 21-1-3. Chicago's points streak extended to last season and was nearing the all-time record of 35 set by Philadelphia in 1979-80.

Google and Samsung have finally unveiled the much awaited Galaxy Nexus handset along with the next major version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich. Ice Cream Sandwich is the biggest release of Android until date, and brings tons of new features on-board.
Here are the top 10 features in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich -:
10. Facial Recognition – With Ice Cream Sandwich, Google has finally put the front-facing camera in most of the new Android phones to some use. Until now, apart from video calling, the front-facing camera was of not much use. With Ice Cream Sandwich, Android users can use their front-facing camera to unlock their phone using facial recognition. Cool! Ain' it?
9. Improved Web Browser – Google had not updated the browser on Android since it last announced Android 2.2 FroYo. Now, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich features an improved web browser, which is better than its predecessor in every way. It has a new UI, a much needed Tab bar and thankfully, it now syncs all your Google Chrome bookmarks. The new browser also supports offline web page reading and the ability to change the user agent to Desktop.
8. New Magazine Style UI – With Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Google aims at killing all the UI inconsistencies found in the Android ecosystem across apps and Android versions once and for all. The new Magazine style like UI looks gorgeous and is also utterly useful. The new UI is aided by a swipe gesture, which works throughout the OS and apps now.
7. Android Beam – This new feature from Google allows Android users to quickly share apps, maps location, web pages and much more between them by simply tapping their handsets. Android Beam uses the NFC technology found inside the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus S to achieve this. Developers can also take advantage of this feature to create more interesting apps.
6. Peoples App – Google finally updated the Contacts app, which was in dire need of an update. The new Contacts app has been renamed to 'Peoples' and comes with a bright new UI, which looks downright sexy. The new app also features tight integration with social networking apps, and shows all their status update right in once place. The Phone app, along with the calling screen has also been updated. The calling screen now shows a high-resolution picture of the dialer, which looks beautiful.
5. Action Bar – Google has carried over the Action Bar found in Honeycomb over to Ice Cream Sandwich as well. The Action Bar is consistent across all core apps, and offer users access to the most important and used functions at just the press of a virtual button. The Action Bar is either displayed at the bottom or the top of the screen. Going forward, expect all Android apps to come with incorporate an Action Bar. The Action Bar will help developers in creating apps with a more consistent UI.
4. Improved Lock screen – Google has revamped the lock screen on Ice Cream Sandwich with some much need features. The new lock screen now enables quick access to the camera app, and also allows direct access to the notification bar.
3. Improved camera app – Like the Contacts app, Google had not updated the Camera app on Android since Android 2.0. With ICS, the camera app has got some major updates including a new revamped UI, touch focus, zero-shutter lag and an improved Share menu.
2. Data monitor – As simple as the feature may sound like, it is one of the most useful features in Ice Cream Sandwich. The Data Monitor app is inbuilt into the OS, and provides detailed information about the data usage of each app. It also allows us to set a threshold data limit, beyond which the data connection will automatically be disconnected. Users can also revoke mobile data access to an individual app running in the background, until and unless it's accessed directly.
1. Updated Core Apps – Android as an OS is tightly integrated with Google's services, which majority of people use on a daily basis. The strong integration with Google's services is one of the pros of Android, In Ice Cream Sandwich; Google updated all of its core apps like GMail, Calendar and Google Maps, along with widgets.
The new GMail app has refreshed UI and is now capable of offline searching for the last 30 days. All the new apps also come with a new scrollable and resizable widget as well, including GMail (Finally!). Considering how important a role Google's apps like Maps and GMail play in enhancing our Android experience, it is undoubtedly the number 1 change in Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

D&G Buses bought by Arriva - owners blame subsidy cuts for sale
Posted: June 11, 2011|
MORE than 160 bus drivers and mechanics have been assured their jobs are safe after transport giant Arriva bought part of a rival firm.
D&G Coach and Bus has sold its Staffordshire operation to Arriva Midlands for an undisclosed sum.
From August, the D&G name in Staffordshire will be replaced by Wardle, which was taken over by Arriva in December.
Wardle's current base in Burslem will be closed, with more than 100 workers transferred to D&G's site in Adderley Green.
D&G, which employs 62 members of staff in Staffordshire, runs 30 buses across 46 routes.
Arriva Midlands regional managing director Bob Hind said: "We will be able to consolidate both operations on to one site based at the current D&G premises.
"All staff will be transferred to Adderley Green. There will be no changes to staffing levels.
"We will be investing in the site, which will see the engineering facilities extended to cater for the expanding fleet. "We are looking forward to growing the business."
D&G today blamed the sale on Stoke-on-Trent City Council's bus subsidy cuts and reductions in concessionary fare payments to operators.
Its South Cheshire operations are unaffected by the deal.
D&G managing director David Reeves, who founded the company in 1998, said: "As a small bus operator our longer-term viability in Staffordshire and the Potteries was uncertain given the reductions.
"Arriva provides an opportunity to ensure the future of the excellent staff employed by the company."
Bus passengers have been reassured that D&G's routes and fares will not change.
But members of the North Staffordshire public transport users group ACES have raised concerns that another operator has left Stoke-on-Trent.
ACES spokesman Selwyn Brown said: "D&G provides lots of excellent services and has taken over routes which other operators decided were not profitable. Whether Arriva will do something about that, I don't know.
"We thought when Arriva took over Wardle there would be improvements, but we don't seem to have seen any change.
"Other firms have their management team locally, but Arriva has its in Leicester and that is a concern. I will wait to see what happens."
Passenger Louise Whitmore regularly uses D&G services from her home in Stoke to meet friends in Hanley.
The 28-year-old cleaner said: "I like D&G, but I don't really mind what firm runs it as long as the prices don't go up."

Juvenile delinquent turns into high school graduateWritten by Mary Petrides | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Devonn Palmer is about to break the cycle.
He spent his sophomore year incarcerated for gang-related violence. Then, he got arrested for robbery.
But in a few days, the 19-year-old will graduate from Woodward High School.
"I'm shooting for the stars," Palmer said. "I see the finish line of high school."
Palmer said he earned straight As from kindergarten until fifth grade, but he "started running with the wrong crowd" in sixth grade.
His freshman year, Palmer was absent about 140 days out of the 180-day school year, he said, and when he did show up, "I'd just run around the halls from first hour until they kicked me out."
Then, during his sophomore year, he shot someone. He was found guilty of felonious assault and spent about two and a half months at a juvenile detention center and nine and a half months at the Youth Treatment Center in Toledo, he said.
Palmer said his uncles are in jail, and when he visited, they wanted something better for him.
"They always said, 'break the cycle, man, do something different.'"
Palmer is about to, but it wasn't easy.
In July, right before his senior year, he was arrested for robbery. He was eventually found not guilty, but wasn't released from jail until November and then he was put under house arrest.
"Every night I was in jail, I was praying," he said. "They were talking 15-20 years. I'm this close to graduating…I kept telling them, 'I'm about to graduate.'"
When Palmer got out of jail, he asked to meet with Robb Slusser, assistant principal of pupil personnel at Woodward.
Slusser said he was not required to let Palmer back into Woodward, but Palmer begged him.
"I tell [students about] rules and regulations, but I also tell them about life," Slusser said. "I tell the kids 'you get one chance around. If you get a second chance, you better make use of it,'" he said.
Palmer enrolled at Woodward High School's Polar Academy, an alternative school program four evenings a week at the high school.
Slusser told him if he did well there, he could come back to Woodward.
Palmer worked hard and came back to Woodward at the beginning of second semester, the third week in January.
Palmer attributes his success in part to school administrators — "they just showed me so much love," he said. He also credits his mother and God.
"My mom, she didn't give up on me," he said. "She never washed her hands of me, never gave up on me…she said, 'I'm not trying to lose you to these streets.'"
Palmer said he was given a Bible at the Youth Treatment Center — a Bible he still has today.
"[That was] the only thing I started really counting on," he said. "I started reading the Bible every day. I started going to church.
"I strongly believe in God," he said.
Recently, Palmer took a girl to prom. He had never seen himself dressed up before, and when he looked in the mirror, "I didn't know what to think of myself," he said.
"He looked like a different young man compared to three years ago when I first got to see him," Slusser said.
"Mrs. Slusser said he was one of the sharpest ones there," Alexander said.
Palmer said he hopes to join the Navy after graduation. He thinks getting away will help him focus.
His mother, Keesha Winters, thinks so, too.
"They'll teach him who he is. He's still young right now," she said. "It's gonna help him focus on what it is he wants to do and show him how do it."
Palmer said he wants to be a defense lawyer. He wants to talk to people in situations like his own and help them stop "slipping up."
"Whatever he wants to do, I'm there for him," Winters said.
"Students like Devonn who go from bad to good — that's what [teaching is] all about," Slusser said. "It's about the smile you see on a kid and that walk when they walk across the stage to get their diploma."
His guidance counselor Jim Alexander is proud, too.
"I've worked at Woodward for 16 years and I don't honestly think I've been more proud of anyone than Devonn," Alexander said. "Steadily, year by year, month by month, week by week, Devonn has improved himself dramatically."
Palmer is ready to move on.
"I never thought this day would come. I thought I would never walk across the stage," he said.
"It's been a long ride," he said. "I'm 19 and I feel like I'm 40."

Charlie Davidson has sent us in images of hir latest work, a hand made piece entitled, Is this the coolest chair ever made? Made from 2mm punched steel sheet, brazed together and powder coated. Based on a prototype for a plastic chair called Duck, this limited edition piece takes over a week to fabricate and finish. The designer says "it takes some time to get all the holes to line up on the invisibly welded joins"

Tips to find and fight ticks on kids, pets
The National Wildlife Federation says there's a population explosion of ticks in New Hampshire, where some moose are infested with more than 100,000 of them! And researchers in St. Louis found that a quarter of squirrels carried ticks that transmit Lyme disease. Are Rocky and Bullwinkle putting you at increased risk for tick-borne illnesses? That depends on where you are.
Black-legged or deer ticks can transmit babesiosis (most cases are in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Wisconsin) and Lyme disease (96 percent of the 30,000 annual cases are in the Northeast and upper Midwest). The dog tick transmits Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever; 60 percent of around 2,000 reported cases annually happen in North Carolina, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri. The Lone Star tick is in the news: An Oklahoma man died of the Heartland virus after being bitten; less-serious cases have been reported in Tennessee and Missouri.
If you develop a rash, fever, headache, joint or muscle pain, or swollen lymph nodes within 30 days of any tick bite, go to your doctor (sooner is better) to KO the disease. But to avoid being bitten:
1. Use DEET-based insect repellant (adult-strength 30 percent; kids 10 percent or less).
2. Wear light-colored clothing with long sleeves, and tuck pants into socks when in grassy/wooded areas.
3. Examine clothes, legs and arms for ticks before entering the house. Then head to the shower; check your whole body. See something? Use a tick-removal kit.
4. Check pets' fur thoroughly when they re-enter the house.

Teen Mom 2
Javi Marroquin Shows Off Abs in Transformation Photo!
You know how Javi Marroquin spends his free time doing CrossFit at the gym and pushing massive tires around with his brute strength? Well, the hard work is starting to pay off. This Teen Mom 2 star took to Instagram and gave the entire world what we've been waiting for: a shirtless transformation photo. You're welcome!
On the left, you can see Shirtless Javi 1.0, a totally hunky (albeit slightly untoned) bro with a zest for strange tattoos and a lust for free-weights. On the right, you can check out Javi 2.0, a mega-hunk with a Superhero-esque body and abs that literally ripple.
Much like once you see this photo, you don't want to stop staring at it.
In other news, Javi isn't the only one who's been working on his body. His wife, Kailyn Lowry, also goes to the gym, and she's dropped a huge amount of weight in the past year. Kailyn still has a few more pounds to go before she reaches her goal, but clearly CrossFit is doing something right for these lovebirds because they look amazing.

The Dallas Morning News published an editorial yesterday stating that the "Commission on Environmental Quality has morphed into the Commission for Protecting Business Interests."
The DMN goes on to say that
"If the TCEQ is committed to protecting business interests, perhaps that should be its new directive. Then state leaders could create an agency that actually focuses on environmental quality."
Good points. But they're the same good points I, and others, made several years ago.
Where's the Dallas Morning News been on this issue the past few years?
Maybe if the newspapers had been on top of what's been happening, maybe the TCEQ would not have felt so free to be so corrupt.
In all the years and all the meetings and all the hearings I attended while living in Midlothian that involved the TCEQ, I never once saw local environmental reporters there. But industry leaders? They were there in droves.
So now the DMN is shocked, SHOCKED, that no one at the state level is protecting human health, and, in fact, is aiding industries to pollute at will.
Welcome to my world.

To say that Katy B's performance last night for MTV Hive's livestreamed Live In NYC concert required an adjustment is somewhat of an understatement. "Usually, it's mostly girls!" she remarked last night, surprised at the gender-breakdown of the crowd at the Studio at Webster Hall. Welcome to New York City club shows, Katy. (To be fair, her recent performances on Britain's summer festival circuit aren't exactly her stock in trade either. "I'm used to performing with a DJ in a proper club environment at two in the morning," she told MTV Hive.) Whether by practice or charisma, though, she effortlessly brought her performance into harmony with the venue and crowd.
The decision to bring a five-piece backing band (keyboards, bass, drums, saxophone, and trumpet) plus a hypeman (who understood that in this situation, unlike most, less was more) transformed Katy B's sound significantly. The performance didn't exactly shy away from the snapshot-of-UK-house-music that is her album On A Mission?out April 1 in England but only yesterday in the United States, though "illegally downloaded," as Katy B teased from onstage, by the many in the crowd who knew her songs well?but it did reposition the singer as an R&B frontwoman rather than a dance vocalist. Maybe this is better suited for American audiences, who by and large don't latch onto the Caribbean-inflected syncopated rhythms of much of UK dance music.
Or maybe Katy B was just really into it. That was the overall impression she tried to make?trying not to sell any records (no one even bothered to set up a merch table) but just to inspire the crowd to dance and to feel her vibe?or as she instructed in the introduction to one song, "Get on my level." And we tried our best.
If you missed the stream, MTV Hive will have at least part of the show available to view on demand on Monday. The full setlist is below the jump.
Set list:
"Power On Me"
"Broken Record"
"Easy Please Me"
"Go Away"
"Witches Brew"
"Perfect Stranger"
"Why You Always Here"
"Katy On A Mission"
"Hard To Get"
"Lights On"

WASHINGTON - Hopes are rising that consumers will drive stronger growth in 2014 after they stepped up spending at the end of last year in the United States and Europe.
The outlook for spending is brightening even though growth is weakening in some large emerging economies and slowing the sales of consumer product giants such as Unilever and Procter & Gamble.
Several trends are boosting consumer spending in developed countries: Inflation is low, enabling shoppers to stretch their dollars, euros and yen. The Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and other central banks are keeping interest rates super-low. Those low rates have made it easier for borrowers to afford higher-cost items such as cars and appliances.
Global retail sales growth jumped to a 5.4 percent annual pace in the three months through November, according to economists at JPMorgan Chase. And global auto sales reached an all-time high in December, the bank said.
"It was a year of big improvement in consumer spending after two years of very weak growth," said David Hensley, a global economist at JPMorgan Chase. "Businesses were pleasantly surprised by the increase in consumption."
Even in Europe, where growth remains slow after the region emerged from its longest-ever recession last year, consumers appear willing to spend more. Retail sales spiked 1.4 percent in November, the biggest increase in 12 years.
In the United States, Morgan Stanley economists forecast that consumer spending rose in the final three months of the year at its fastest pace in three years.
Consumer spending in Japan could jump by as much as 7 percent in the first quarter of 2014, JPMorgan calculates. Much of that gain might reflect greater spending ahead of an April increase in a national sales tax, from 5 percent to 8 percent. Sales will likely fall back after that, making it harder to determine broader trends.
With more consumers willing to open their wallets, businesses will also likely start spending more on machinery, computers and other equipment, Hensley said, providing an additional spark to growth.
The International Monetary Fund said Tuesday that it expects world growth to reach 3.7 percent this year, up from 3 percent last year. That's little changed from its October forecast.
The good news in developed countries is partially offset by slower growth in many large emerging economies. Brazil, India and Turkey have been raising interest rates to battle high inflation. Both high rates and rising prices are weighing on consumer spending in those countries.
For big global consumer product companies such as Unilever, growth in the U.S. and Europe hasn't been improving strongly enough to offset slowdowns elsewhere. The company, which makes Ben & Jerry's ice cream, Dove soap, and Lipton tea, said sales fell 3 percent last year to 49.8 billion euros ($67.5 billion). Profit rose 9 percent.
"The growth that you see in the United States and some people get excited about is not enough to make a difference" to Unilever, Chief Executive Paul Polman told analysts.
Ali Dibadj, an analyst at Bernstein Global Wealth Management, said Unilever's results reflect a broader slowdown in growth for consumer products that will likely continue in 2014.
Consumer-product companies have invested heavily in emerging markets as growth in developed markets slowed. But this year, growth will likely pick up in developed markets and slow in emerging countries. The sales slowdown will likely force more cost cuts, Dibadj said.
Mae Anderson and Toby Sterling of the AP contributed to this report.

Life in the Slow Lane: A year of giving...
Many of us were among those buying last minute gifts, scrambling with boxes, bags and overloaded carts. Waiting for sales, the last minute, or merely the "right idea," we hurriedly brought them home, wrapped, mailed or perhaps hid them until the moment of giving. Many no doubt felt relief as well as joy when all was done, especially if those gifted were pleased.
This season of giving wasn't always identified with "stuff." For many it's become more about what's under the tree than who's around it. We've gotten off track.
Imagine if everyone's New Year's resolutions included giving those things that cost nothing, require no wrapping, shipping, hiding, waiting in line or disappointment because the store ran out.
Imagine what could happen if you made 2013 a year of giving:
Your best smile to a total stranger, even if he took your parking space.
A hug to friend you haven't hugged in a long time, if ever.
A hug to yourself.
Kind words to a harried server doing her best to accommodate you in a crowded restaurant.
The benefit of the doubt to those whose behavior you don't quite understand.
A little more time to try to understand them.
A warm and friendly nod to the homeless person on the side of the road.
A second chance to a friend who hurt or disappointed you.
A second chance to a family member who did the same.
A hand-written thank you note for a kindness, gift or invitation.
An hour of your time to an elderly shut-in with no place to go but back to her room.
A phone call or note instead of an email, just to say "hi."
Yourself permission to do something just for you without feeling guilty about it.
Permission to someone else to do the same for himself.
A fanciful story told in person to a child in your life, without any audiovisual aids.
Your handwritten book of memories to your grandchildren, even though you know they won't appreciate it until long after you're gone.
An extra-long walk for your beloved animal companion.A special treat for your pet where walks aren't possible.
An extra donation in the collection box.
A transfer of your unused credit card or airline points to a charity.
Moments of thoughtful silence before answering another's probing questions.
Moments of thoughtful silence before responding to statements with which you don't agree.
Measured responses that make your point without belittling the other's point of view.
Gratitude for those things often taken for granted: caterpillars; sunrises; the garbage collector, the kid who works the restaurant early shift so you can have your drive-to-work coffee.
Credit where it's due.
Credit where it isn't from time to time because it might encourage someone do better next time.
Patience to the person who answers the phone but doesn't speak the language very well. (She's just doing her job.)
Solace to someone you know who is hurting, no matter how "minor" you think the reason compared to yours.
An answer to someone who needs it, even if they haven't the courage to ask the question.
A series of questions of friends or acquaintances that don't begin or end with "I."
An anonymous gift to someone who deserves one, (from "an appreciative customer, friend, associate," etc.
A spontaneous gift to someone you care about "just because."
A light in your heart for others to follow when darkness is all they can see.
Compassion for those who are angry, hostile, suffering or just downright mean, because, if you can do that, they need it more than you.
Forgiveness for yourself when you screw up because everyone does now and then.
Hope to those who seem hopeless.
A hand to those who seem lost.
Gentleness with those who seem hard.
And love to everyone and everything in your life that helped you become you, because every single one of them did.
Imagine how life would be if everyone chose just a few of them?

Port-au-Prince, Haiti - October 26, 2012 - Hurricane Sandy, which has reportedly resulted in 21 deaths across the Caribbean, has caused flooding and extensive damage in parts of Haiti where many still live in tent camps following the 2010 earthquake. In the South and Southwest departments, roads are badly damaged, bridges have been swept away and the main hospital in Les Cayes remains flooded. In the West department, where the capital of Port-au-Prince is located, heavy rains continue, leaving many at risk in unstable tent camps. The Gray River, located on the outskirts of the city, has overflowed taking away homes and businesses.
The president of Haiti has declared a state of emergency and given instructions to deploy the national emergency plan. International Medical Corps' teams in Haiti are collaborating with local government agencies to coordinate the emergency response. Our teams are prepositioning emergency kits, fuel and flashlights at all of our sites. Mobile Medical Units are also on standby to assist in reaching affected communities.
International Medical Corps has operated in Haiti since 2010 when our teams were on the ground treating patients within 22 hours of the earthquake. Following a comprehensive emergency response, we implemented long-term programs in Haiti including cholera treatment, primary health care, water and sanitation, and disaster preparedness. Today we are focused on training local health workers to help rebuild Haiti's health infrastructure.
Since its inception nearly 30 years ago, International Medical Corps' mission has been consistent: relieve the suffering of those impacted by war, natural disaster, and disease, by delivering vital health care services and sustainable development projects that focus on training. This approach of helping people help themselves is critical to returning devastated populations to self-reliance. For more information visit: www.InternationalMedicalCorps.org.

dining on Super Bowl Sunday?
My wife and I will be on a weekend getaway in New Orleans and would like to plant ourselves somewhere during the evening of the Super Bowl where the game would be on TV AND we can enjoy great NOLA food and drink. Suggestions? We're staying in the Garden District this time.
Crescent City Brewhouse is probably the best place in the FQ to watch sports. They have plenty of TV's on second floor.
Crescent City Brewhouse @ 527 Decatur St., New Orleans, LA. 504 - 522 - 0571.
Take a cab Uptown to Cooter Brown's for another one of the best sports bar's and fine fresh oysters. Take the St. Charles Street Streetcar to S Carrollton. Get off and walk a block to your left towards the river. Ye Old College Inn is also a good place to watch the game and get good food and cold drinks. St. Charles Tavern is open 24/7 and they just remodeled the joint. They have a nice HH from 2/6 every day for 2/1 well drinks and $1.25 drafts.
Cooter Brown's Tavern @ 509 South Carrollton Ave., New Orleans, LA 504 - 866 - 9104.
Ye Old College Inn @ 3000 S. Carrollton, New Orleans, LA. 504 - 866 - 3683. .
St. Charles Tavern @ 1433 Saint Charles Avenue, New Orleans, LA 504 - 523 - 9823. DELIVERS.
And Bruno's Tavern close to Tulane is excellent for sports and bar food.
Bruno's Tavern @ 7538 Maple Street, New Orleans, LA 504 - 861 - 7615.
re: Littleman
Sorry to disagree with Littleman but Crescent City Brewhouse is an awful tourist trap IMHO. I strongly agree with his suggestion for Cooter Browns. And of course Tracey's (garden district) has an awesome roast beef poboy - but will likely be super packed for the superbowl!
re: pizzajunkie
+1 on on Crescent City...avoid!
re: FoodChic
re: pizzajunkie
I have only been to Crescent City Brewhouse for an event, but was horribly underwhelmed.
re: Littleman
College Inn is the best restaurant on the list but is more restaurant than sports bar. You can eat at the bar and watch the TV's from there
re: collardman
I agree completely.
Thanks, everyone. The food and drink factor is key--or I wouldn't be posting here. Just any ol' sports bar won't do. I've heard of Cooter Brown's, so it must be more than just a sports bar. And Ye Old College Inn sounds worthy as well. Oysters are perfect football watching food (I just made that up, but it works for me). We don't plan to be glued to a TV screen--the thinking was just that it would be nice to feel involved while the game is on. Though I'm a beer enthusiast, I've never stopped in to Crescent City Brewhouse, figuring it was as @pizzajunkie and @FoodChic put it.
How about Avenue as another option? Good beer list, it seems.
re: LorenzoGA
The Avenue Pub? Excellent ... don't think twice just get yourself there. I'm partial to the dump truck fries.
I can only imagine C.B.'s will be packed but if you do end up there, get a 9th ward sandwich for me. It's so, so wrong (two Patton's patties, American cheese, lettuce on a burger bun? It's 1500 calories with absolutely no nutrients ... this is the definition of poor eating habits) but in so many ways, absolutely a-ok.
Depending on where you are in the Garden District, I would suggest (strange as it sounds) Dat Dog on Freret St. They have an amazing beer list, all reasonably priced and you can settle in for a fantastic alligator or crawfish sausage smothered in crawfish etouffee...and wash it all down with a cold Cane Break. Economic and great friendly staff!
re: voodoojazz
If you can't get reservations here's a fallback.

Guard Stephen Jackson is the Bobcats' top scorer at 18.8 points per game, while SF Gerald Wallace (16.5 ppg) is hoping to return against the Bulls after missing the past four games with an ankle injury. PG D.J. Augustin has averaged 19.6 points since Silas took over. The Bulls are 6-5 at Charlotte since the Bobcats arrived in 2004.
