Emily Guess was one of many residents at a meeting on Tuesday who called for legislators to fight against a current law that will allow a potato farm in Windsor to pull massive amounts of water from the Edisto River.
Nearly 500 patrons gathered in the Aiken Electric Cooperative building to attend the information session hosted by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
The Department called the meeting to discuss the process of registering agricultural surface water withdrawals after public outcry arose to save the river from Walther Farms – a farm that received SCDHEC approval last spring to withdraw up to 805 million gallons of water per month from the South Edisto.
Members of the audience applauded when Guess made a comment that threatened the seat of current legislators.
"Legislators in this room, hear my voice: if you don't get rid of this law, we will get rid of you," Guess said.
Despite the outcry from the public, SCDHEC representatives said Walther Farms is currently within its rights to seek approval to pull the large amount of water.
Bureau Chief David Wilson added that SCDHEC's role in the matter is limited.
"Please understand that we don't have the ability to rewrite the law," Wilson said. "DHEC's role is narrowly defined in this instance."
Wilson added that, after Walther Farms' first request last spring, SCDHEC conducted a safe yield analysis at the withdrawal point. The analysis checked out, which led to the department green-lighting the first registration.
The farm issued a second request in November that is currently under review.
No one representing Walther Farms spoke at the meeting.
The Aiken Standard has made several attempts previously to contact the owner of the farm, but phone calls and emails seeking comment have not been returned.
After the public called on legislators to take action, S.C. Sen. Tom Young, R-Aiken, stated that he will work to protect South Carolina's rivers.
"I have fished in, hunted near and paddled on the South Edisto River. I intend to do all I can to reach a resolution that protects South Carolina's rivers for generations to come," Young told the Standard in an email.
S.C. Rep. Bill Taylor, R-Aiken, was also in attendance and addressed the audience during the meeting. Taylor suggested that a flow meter be purchased to gain more information on the river.
"We have to approach this as a step-by-step basis and get all the information we can," Taylor said. "We need to look at the regulations and get some real data so we have something to bring to the table."
Several interest groups, such as Friends of the Edisto, were also in attendance. Group member Tim Rogers also called for legislators to take action.
"On behalf of Friends of the Edisto, I call on the leaders of our communities and state to work with us to save our Edisto as we know it. That will reflect the will of the overwhelming majority of our people," Rogers said.

Common auto accident injuries include:
- Deep lacerations
- Broken bones
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries

- Soft tissue injuries

Key steps to take following an accident in Southern & Central Maine
Anyone who has ever been involved in motor vehicle collision will surely attest to the fact that the first few moments afterward are frightening, emotional and unnerving. However, your initial reactions and the decisions you make can have a tremendous bearing on your ultimate ability to secure compensation for your injuries. Accurate documentation of the facts surrounding the accident is vital to your personal injury case.
It is critical that you try your best to do the following:
- Stay at the scene
- Check on the conditions of everyone involved in the collision
- Contact law enforcement authorities
- Exchange information with all parties involved
- Speak to eyewitnesses, where available
- Take photographs to document damage as well as the physical location of the collision
- Take notes about your own condition and any injuries sustained
- Exercise the utmost discretion and admit fault to nobody

Editorial Staff • West End • 15 Jun 2000
If there's a justification for opening up this old film studio to the Almeida, this is it. This complex play, which deals with political manipulation and the sin of pride and which examines the bond between mother and son, has been magnificently served by Jonathan Kent's production. True, the vast space seems too large for the action and the half a dozen citizens do not make much of a populace. But Ralph Fiennes' Coriolanus transcends the limitations of the set.
His is a magnificent performance - when he shouts 'Make you a sword of me?' one can only answer, 'yes'. Fiennes bristles with menace and explodes across the stage like an offensive weapon. When he's faced with the clanging doors of the city of Corioli, he charges through them on his own, like a one-man killing machine.
But it is in the scenes with the mob that Fiennes really stands out. Unable to contain his sneer, he stands like Ozymandias, a look of contempt etched on to his face. In the forum scene, where he has to come before the people in order to win their support for election to the senate, he quite literally sells himself, barking out his words like a market trader. Fiennes reaches his peak in the final scene. Faced with Aufidius's accusations, his roar of 'Measureless liar' echoes round the vast space, and he is killed by Aufidius alone - a logical culmination to their blood feud.
Fiennes' performance is well matched by Barbara Jefford's chilling Volumnia. When she says that 'Thy valiantness was mine. Thou suckedst it from me', you really believe. This is one fearsome woman who should have been sent against the Volscian army herself. Like a Roman Maggie Thatcher, she terrorises the people around her and reduces her martial son to jelly.
There are other strong performances, too. Oliver Ford Davies' Menenius starts off full of wisecracks and good humour but grows more despondent as he sees the oncoming downfall of his friend. And he is truly piteous in his last scene, prostrate before Aufidius. Bernard Gallagher and Alan David are deeply devious as the tribunes who incite the mob against Coriolanus - two masterly portrayals of political manipulators par excellence. And Linus Roache is a robust Aufidius, emanating just a hint of homo-eroticism in his relationship with Coriolanus.
But fantastic support aside, this Coriolanus really is Fiennes' show. His portrayal burns into the memory - and is well worth enduring the most uncomfortable seating in London. You won't see much better Shakespearean acting.

I like to take one in the evening as a way of de-stressing a little. The caps seem to work well against tension, but the effect is subtle. I seem to do better with them than without them. I trust Enzymatic Therapy to provide quality.
I'm so relaxed!

You Have Choices
An unplanned pregnancy can turn your world upside down.
It's hard to think clearly when everything seems to be going wrong. It's easy to make quick decisions which you might later regret.
Call us.
We'll listen.
Your Pregnancy Options
You had plans, and this pregnancy wasn't one of them. Find out how to evaluate your options and learn how you can still achieve your hopes and dreams. If you're not sure what to do, take one more day to think about it. A quick decision might lead to a lifetime of regret. Call us. We'll listen.
If you are pregnant, you have three options to think about – abortion, adoption and parenting. No decision is easy. The choice you make regarding the outcome of your pregnancy is a personal decision. Only you can decide what is right for you, your baby and your family. We're available and here to help you think carefully through your situation, sorting out the benefits and risks of your options so you can make that choice wisely and fully informed. You are not alone….countless women have walked in your path and Birthline can provide information, resources and referrals to help you through.
I think I want an abortion.
You might feel like you can't go through this pregnancy and having an abortion feels like your only option. Or you might be in a situation where the father, your friends or someone in your family is insisting on an abortion. Many women choose abortion out of fear – fear of not being able to raise a child, fear of losing their partner and fear of losing some control over their lives.
We do not offer, recommend or refer for abortions. However, we will provide medically accurate information regarding the abortion process and information on potential health risks linked with abortion, according to facts from the Minnesota Department of Health. In our state, you can be up to 20 weeks pregnant to electively abort your child, so you likely have plenty of time to think about it. Women and men often struggle most with this decision, and appreciate the opportunity to talk over their concerns. If you choose abortion, we will provide a list of important questions to ask your abortion provider.
Should I consider adoption?
Adoption is always an option. If you are not able to care for a child at this time in your life, adoption may be the right choice for you – a loving decision made in the best interests of your child, you, the father and other family members. Adoption has changed over the years and as a birth parent, you have more control. Depending on the arrangement you select, you may choose to have regular contact with your child, receive regular updates, or elect to have no further contact. You can also take an active role in selecting a family and you'll have greater peace of mind knowing your child has the best possible start to life.
What if I decide to parent?
You may feel that you can't afford a baby right now or that you don't have the skills necessary to become a parent – but you do think you have the desire and commitment to raise your child. Together, we will talk about your concerns and help you to overcome your obstacles. At Birthline, we have several programs that can help you prepare to be a positive parent, and we will help you with the financial planning and material support that you might need. Becoming a parent at any age can be difficult, but the rewards are immeasurable.
Call today.
We care and are here to serve you. While you are deciding, you should begin prenatal care as soon as possible. It's important for you to be healthy, and to provide the best start for your baby if you should choose to carry your child full term. Our center can provide a free prenatal exam and prenatal vitamins if you need that assistance.

By Sgt. 1st Class Doug Sample, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga., Sept. 26, 2003 Much like New York on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, it was a beautiful day in Atlanta -- sunny skies, temperatures in the 70s, a light breeze. Sept. 25, 2003, was a perfect day to call in sick -- but not if you were one of Georgia's first responders.
At around 11:45 a.m., there was a loud explosion. A half hour later, a wall of flames ignited the sky. Suddenly, this beautiful day had turned ugly -- and that's just what Charles George, an Army warrant officer with the Georgia State Defense Force, had hoped for.
George was not the evil person behind the dastardly turn of events. He helped to formulate the scenario for the full-scale weapons of mass destruction exercise that took place Sept. 25 on a runway here.
The exercise's purpose was to test the state's first responders. It was the highlight of a weeklong conference sponsored by the Homeland Security Summit Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
The real culprit in the exercise scenario was a protester at a local college campus who turned out to be a terrorist suicide bomber.
Fire and rescue teams, along with police from Atlanta, Smyrna and Austell, arrived to assess the situation. They found a dead terrorist and a small parcel with an unexploded bomb. Bomb disposal teams with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation detonated the bomb, but the scenario took a new twist.
First responders learned a commuter jet had been hijacked at Atlanta's nearby Hartsfield International Airport. The plane, with 85 people on board, was heading toward the campus. The pilot, a naturalized U.S citizen, was using the smoke from the earlier bombing to guide him to his target: a building on the campus that housed a nuclear, biological and chemical research laboratory.
The plane -- a huge, rusting, tin structure made to resemble an aircraft crashed into its target, exploding in flames, thickening the exercise plot. More disaster resources would be needed.
First responders from all levels of the local, state and federal government joined in, including elements of the military that now had to deal with a possible NBC situation.
While the firefighters worked to put out the flames, other first responders attended to victims. As a precaution, firefighters set up water hoses to spray any possible chemical contaminants off of victims before they could receive medical treatment. Meanwhile, as police helped to cordon off and secure the scene, everyone appeared to be cooperating.
"The whole reason we're doing this exercise is to get cooperation and get some experience at doing this," said George. "We can't just do this in Georgia. We've got to do this all over the United States. You've got to get everyone involved.
"This is a national team effort," George continued. "If we pull together as a nation, we will be able to respond more effectively to these disasters. The more we train, the more familiar we are with the situation, the better we'll be able to handle this. And we will prevail."
Because the exercise involved a NBC scenario, the 4th Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team was called to the scene. The unit is made of a specially trained team of Army and Air National Guard personnel who are experts at handling and sampling hazardous materials.
Although most local responders have their own hazardous materials teams, the special military unit often is called in to assist local first responders, said Maj. Kevin McCann, a team leader. "Since Sept. 11, we've responded to more than 100 calls."
The unit is one of 32 such WMD civil support teams throughout the United States, trained at a variety of civilian and military schools. According to one team member, they spend about 260 days a year training -- each team member is cross-trained to do the other's job.
McCann said each of his team members has been through 2,000 hours of hazardous materials training. "That's pretty good, (considering) the normal HAZMAT technician has about 80 hours," he said.
Wearing specially designed protective suits, the unit can enter any Biolevel 4 environment -- an environment that contains the most dangerous microbes known, such as Ebola virus and smallpox -- and help local first responders analyze and gather samples of possible NBC materials.
During this exercise, the team brought out four samples from the research lab that later were determined not to be of any nuclear, biological or chemical threat.
"Once we bring the samples out, we not only do a field test downrange, but we take them in to a MALS (mobile analytical lab system) that has a Biolevel 3 glove box," McCann said, "and we can do further field analysis and give you a pretty good on-site identification. We're still going to take that sample (and) send it off to the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) for further analysis," he said.
The MALS looks like an ordinary van, but inside is a sophisticated laboratory for detecting and analyzing nuclear, biological and chemical material.
The Disaster Medical Assistance Team from Atlanta also played a major role in the exercise. The team is part of the National Disaster Medical System, part of the Department of Homeland Security. The regional medical assistance teams are composed of volunteer nurses and doctors from around the country.
The Atlanta team mobilized to provide medical care for the exercise victims. In only 15 minutes after arriving, the group stood up a three-tent medical treatment center and morgue, then began triaging patients suffering from realistically simulated burns, smoke inhalation, broken bones and other injuries.
Wendy Nesheim, a nurse and the team's spokeswoman, said the group was proud of its accomplishment. "We were organized and efficient," she said. "We got patients in and out, and we're very happy with the results."
Also pleased with the results was John Taylor, director of the Homeland Security Summit. Surveying dozens of first responders as they packed up their gear, Taylor said the exercise was a "big success."
"You can tell by the conversations that are taking place, the connections that are taking place," he said. "We had first responders talking to the state and federal responders, so this was a good day."
By 3 p.m. the runway at Dobbins was abandoned. The sirens and flashing lights had been turned off, the fires were out, and the smoke had wafted away. The sky was clear for what was left of the beautiful day.

FRIDAY, Aug. 15, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- The anti-cancer drug Avastin (bevacizumab) has been newly approved to treat aggressive and late-stage cervical cancer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in a news release.
Cervical cancer is most often caused by the sexually spread human papillomvirus (HPV). More than 12,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with the disease this year and more than 4,000 women will die from the illness, according to U.S. National Cancer Institute statistics.
Avastin works by interfering with the development of blood vessels that fuel cancerous cell growth. The new approval is for use in combination with other anti-cancer drugs, including paclitaxel, cisplatin and topotecan, the FDA said.
Avastin's safety and effectiveness in treating cervical cancer were evaluated in clinical studies involving 452 people with persistent, recurring or late-stage disease, the agency said. Average survival among those who took Avastin and chemotherapy drugs was 16.8 months, compared to 12.9 months among those receiving chemotherapy alone.
The most common side effects of Avastin included fatigue, loss of appetite, high blood pressure, increased blood sugar, decreased blood magnesium, urinary tract infection, headache and weight loss. Some users also developed perforations or abnormal openings of the gastrointestinal tract and vagina, the FDA said.
Avastin is marketed by San Francisco-based Genentech, a member of the Roche Group.

Exclusive: Inside Pinewood/Shepperton - A Photo Tour
We visit the UK's most legendary film studios.
Every year, the BAFTA film awards present a trophy for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema. Introduced in 1978, the award recognises an organisation or a person's career and influence on the British Film Industry. This year's recipient, announced today, is Pinewood/Shepperton, two of the British industry's most important film studios whose contribution to filmmaking has resulted in some of the greatest movies of all time. Under strict instruction not to let anyone working at the studios know about the award, RT spent a day last week touring Pinewood and Shepperton and learning a little more about these stalwarts of film.
The Orange British Academy Film Awards begin on British TV on BBC Two from 8pm, continuing on BBC One from 9pm on Sunday 8 February. A preview show featuring interviews from the red carpet will be broadcast on BBC Three from 7pm.

A new ServiceSource facility in Chantilly is making it easier for many disabled residents to receive the care they need.
The nonprofit company ServiceSource began in Fairfax in 1971. In 2012 it has served more than 14,000 individuals with disabilities in nine states. Its corporate headquarters are in Alexandria.
A 45,000-square-foot ServiceSource disability center in Springfield that serves about 215 disabled individuals annually now is getting some relief with the addition of the new state-of-the-art facility in Chantilly. Many from western Fairfax County who traveled up to an hour and a half to receive care at the Springfield location now have the option of going to the newer, closer center.
�There was a great need for services here,� said Regional Executive Director Paul Wexler. �At 26,000 square feet, the new facility is smaller than our Springfield center, but we can accommodate about 75-80 individuals. Already 32 people who used to travel to Springfield have transferred here.�
Many of the participants in ServiceSource Chantilly have significant disabilities and are nonverbal. The new facility was specifically designed for accessibility, safety and privacy and has new equipment for physical therapy and caretaking. Additionally, an innovative sensory perception room encourages stimulation through touch, sound, sight and smell. In the room, those normally in wheelchairs instead can relax in bean bag chairs, hammocks and massage chairs, enjoying the cascade of light shows, fiber optic displays and even can create music on the �Tonky Honk� keyboard.
In addition to the sensory room and other therapeutic in-house activities, the center also provides activities within the local community, such as horseback riding and cooking classes.
�I am proud to have been part of the design process of this new facility,� said Wexler. �Many people brainstormed and put a lot of effort into designing this facility from the ground up. We are very happy with the outcome and have not had any second thoughts about what we could have done but didn�t. It really has come together very well.�
Family members of program participants say they love the new site and already are seeing benefits for their relatives with disabilities. Tom Mobley, 71, of Fairfax has a mentally incapacitated 37-year-old daughter, Dawn, who he says absolutely loves the new facility, which she attends five days per week.
�She doesn�t like Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, because she�d rather be there than home,� he said.
Mobley said Dawn used to have to travel nearly 90 minutes on a transport bus to Springfield from Fairfax. �In addition to the decrease in travel time, Dawn is now able to get more personalized care at the Chantilly location,� he said.
Virginia Del. Eileen Filler-Corn (D-Fairfax), who attended the grand opening of the facility in July, said she was impressed by its innovativeness, and called it a great public-private success story.
�I was thrilled to visit,� she said. �I know that as well as ServiceSource�s $2 million investment, the county also put up a substantial amount of money, and it all seems very well-spent. It really is a fabulous, state-of-the-art facility that was much needed in the area.�
According to Evan Jones, employment services director for the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board, the county contributed $1.3 million from its year-end budget surplus to help ServiceSource provide services at the new facility.
In addition to providing care and day services, ServiceSource also provides employment opportunities to nearly 2,000 individuals with disabilities annually.
�Our employment program is a doorway to the community,� said Mark Hall, executive vice president of corporate development.
Hall, who has a son with Down syndrome who utilizes the new Chantilly facility, said that for those with extreme disabilities, it is extremely important to be a part of a socialized group.
�Isolation and despair are often results of not being in a peer group,� he said. �That�s true for everybody.�

the Columbian military uses to combat the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia) in the jungles of Columbia. A 6-shot revolver-type MGL similar in concept to the original Milkor MGL Mk-1, called the "Six-Shooter", was first brought to the attention of the American public in the film "Predator" (1987), where it was put to very effective use by the character of Poncho Ramirez, played by the actor Richard Chaves (Note: The "Six-Shooter" was a pump-action MGL). Fans of the movie will remember that Ramirez was a member of Major 'Dutch' Schaeffer's (played by Arnold Scharzenegger) elite Special Operations (SPECOPS)/Hostage Rescue/Extraction team (or, more simply, Commando unit).
And, last but not least, the MGL-140 sports a Vltor Modstock telescoping buttstock, a Mil-Std-1913 sight rail, and a 4-sided (or "quad-rail") Mil-Std-1913 rail system/forend rail tube for mounting other tactical accessories–like the vertical foregrip, for instance.
Oh, and just FYI, MEI is going to be introducing additional enhanced-capability LI/LV 40mm ammo variants, soon. DefenseReview is not yet at liberty to disclose the nature of these forthcoming advanced munitions, but their capabilities (as described to us b MEI representatives) are both intriguing and impressive. We'll provide information about them as soon as we're cleared to do so. You won't want to miss it.

The importance of reading
The reigning Miss North Carolina is working on her master's degree to become a certified public accountant.
But she can recall a time when higher education was not certain for her.
"I vividly remember my teacher calling on me and asking me to read the excerpt and tell the class what I had just read," Johna Edmonds said. "Well, I couldn't do that, and I quickly learned that I couldn't read with comprehension."
At the United Way of Vance County's annual meeting, Edmonds explained why her personal platform promotes youth literacy and why she supports the organization's new reading initiative.
"I wanted to have endless opportunities, but I knew that, in order to reach any goal, I had to be able to read," said Edmonds, whose visit was sponsored by Matthew and Jessica Todd.
Outgoing United Way President Cindy Faulkner said the organization adopted a reading initiative last year in light of the state's new Read to Achieve law, which requires third-grade students demonstrate reading proficiency before moving on to fourth grade.
She said Vance County's low graduation rate, which was released last August, also contributed to their decision to launch the initiative. Only 64.9 percent of students in the four-year period beginning in 2009 graduated from Vance County public high schools. The state average for the same period was 82.5 percent.
"With regards to our campaign, it has been a very successful year," Faulkner said.
At the annual meeting, Bob Fleming was presented with the United Way's first Sam Watkins Visionary Award. Watkins died in February.
"Our board of directors voted to establish this award as a way of saying thank you to Sam for staying the course in so many worth while efforts in our community," said Michele Burgess, who is on the board.
Fleming served on the Vance County Board of Education for eight years, and he was chairman of the board for two years.
He is the vice president and attorney for Barnett Properties, a commercial real estate firm based in Henderson. He received the Citizen of the Year award in 2000.
"I don't come close to measuring up to the standards Sam set," he said. "When you look around, you see evidence of Sam's vision and his persistence and his hard work, along with his brother George, in getting many things accomplished in this community, and we can all use that as a guide for us."
During the annual meeting, a new board of directors and officers were voted in.
Burgess, Diane Finch, Tommy Haithcock, Heather Hughes, Heidi Owen and Charles Worth are the 2014-2015 board of directors.
Haithcock is the new president, Matthew Todd is the first vice president, Terri Hedrick is the second vice president, and Owen is the secretary and treasurer.
"The future is not bright for third-graders who can't read," Haithcock said. "We are talking about kids who have absolutely nothing to read in their homes. I am asking the community to support us."

Overrated and overpriced. mediocre food
Posted by Ariana on 01/15/2012
I thought the food was pretty good, same with the service. Overall I think it's overrated and a bit overpriced
Posted by The Mad Ad Man on 07/29/2011
THE CROWD A comical mix of tourists (who read about this "trendy hot spot" in their city guide), the Bridge & Tunnel crowd from Jersey (hoping to appear glamorous for one night), and the Mid-Twenties After-Work Crowd (who don't really know a cool place to go to, so let's go to the Meatpacking). THE ATMOSPHERE Loud. Noisy. Hectic. Feels more like a night club than a steak-house. THE SERVICE Poor. They are always short on staff. The waiters are stressed out and can't handle conflict situations. The wait staff appears to be aspiring actors/dancers/writers etc. who don't give a ... about service, but are doing it for the tips only. And that's pretty much how they treat you. Like they are better, and this job is below them. THE DECOR They spent a lot of $$$ on it, so know that you're paying an extra 10% with every meal that they need to pay back the interior designer. THE FOOD It's on par. I'd say about average for New York restaurants of this price class. It's overpriced, that's for sure. But hey, it's the Meatpacking, right? INTEGRITY There is no such thing. This place was intentionally built to milk the consumer, not to make them feel special. They know that hordes of tourists and B&T's and After-Work folks will happily hand over their hard-earned dollars without realizing they've been completely fooled. SUMMARY This place has no heart, no soul, no service. It's too loud to have a decent conversations with your friends. If you don't care, go enjoy. If you do, you probably already know. Anyway, real New Yorkers don't go here. They know why.
Posted by anonymous on 03/29/2011
Is it a nightclub steakhouse? Yes. Should you want to go to a nightclub steakhouse unless you are a group of 40s housewives from NJ trying to recapture your youth? Probably not. You will wait to be seated, you will not be able to hear the people you are dining with, you will barely be able to hear the waiter. The other people around will likely be wearing gold chains and their best horrible clothes. All that aside, the food isn't bad, the price is reasonable (for a NY steakhouse) and the service is okay. I'd stay away and go to a club after dinner if that is what you're into.
Posted by steakheas on 03/16/2011
Food was good, service deplorable, and atmosphere wasnt for me, but I knew going in. If you want a club experience go to STK, for a dining experience go elsewhere
Posted by D Queen of Fine Dining on 12/20/2010
Everytime my friends and I wanted to celebrate a B-day. We would always skip this place because we were addicted to One little West...personally which I thought was better than STK. With that said the food was decent. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday...I liked the Shrimp Rice Krispie and the mixed mushroom side. The steak was ok but our service was subpar. The waiter wasn't really attentive...it didn't help that we were next to another waiter who went above and beyond in service for his table. My boyfriend and I wanted that type of service but oh well we didn't get it. I'm usally a good tiper and if you are on point I will give you at least 25% of bill but this guy only got 15% which I really wanted to give him less. I probably won't go back unless someone else is paying but I liked One so much better than this place. I haven't tried the Collective yet but will soon. I'm sure there are better steakhouse out there. The decor is very nice I have to say.

First I would like to start by saying that before I went to this restaurant I called several times to try and find out more about the menu. I could not get a person to answer my question since I later found out that I was connected to the corporate office and they couldn't help. To my dismay I was placed on very very long holds each of the 3 times I called and I never got through to someone who could help). When we arrived we could not see an address on the restaurant so I called to find out if i was at the right place since i didnt want to get out of my car in the freezing cold. Again , I was speaking to a person in corporate who put me on a 10 min hold and said it was his 1st day..after I got upset. When we walked in we were asked to check our coats..a real nuisance since it's on the 2nd floor! I think it would have been nicer if someone at the reception desk would have offered to take our coats instead of sending us upstairs. Also when we left it was the same story and it was a BIG annoying line to get our coats! We started with salads and all 4 that arrived on the table were CoLD! I font honk fine restaurants should serve cold salads. I ordered the Dover Sole and it was wierdly sliced and spiced. It was NoT the traditional dover sole I usually get. The only food I enjoyed were the sides of mushrooms and Sauted spinach. The desert was ok the waiter was pleasant. I would not eat here again because the food was not anything special. The atmosphere is happening but it's not a reason for me to come back to

Many say that this is the best place to begin discovering Montreal.

Here, an archaeological dig has revealed the foundations of the city's original settlement, established in the 17th century. You can follow the development of Montreal from its days as a fledgling colony and on up through the present day to an exhibit showing the city's multicultural lifestyle. During the summer, the museum hosts numerous period fairs and festivals.
Located in the heart of Vieux-Montréal, the Pointe-à-Callière Museum of Archaeology and History is Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. During the summer, the museum is open Mondays as well.

The Labor Party swept to power in today's election in Australia, ending eleven years of rule by the center-right coalition led by the Liberals. The result is being called "a Ruddslide." Kevin Rudd, a former diplomat, will be the nation's next leader.
The losers in the election were the long-serving John Howard—and George W. Bush. No other national leader—not even Tony Blair—was a stauncher supporter of the American President than the now-defeated Australian prime minister. The two shared a conservative outlook on almost every matter of importance.
"Today Australia has looked to the future," Rudd said as he claimed victory. So what does his version of the future hold for the United States? Howard famously accepted the job of America's "deputy sheriff" in the Asia-Pacific region. Canberra under Rudd will move away from Washington. The Labor Party, for instance, will sign the Kyoto Protocol, abandoning President Bush on climate change. More important, Rudd will withdraw Australia's 550 combat troops from Iraq (although he will keep about a thousand Australians in supporting positions in that troubled country).
Rudd, a fluent Mandarin speaker and Sinophile, will also move his nation closer to China, which has been fueling Australia's economic boom by purchasing iron ore and coal in large quantities. The United States already has its problems in Asia, some of them self-inflicted but most caused by the Chinese. The Australian election was not a referendum on the United States, but the ignominious removal of Howard from the scene—it appears that he will be the first sitting prime minister to lose his seat in Parliament since 1929—does mean that Washington can no longer count on an important voice in this critical part of the world.

Raising Capital - Introduction To Raising Capital
When most people think about a company raising capital, they think about a private company going public - selling an initial public offering (IPO) of stock. An IPO can indeed be an effective means of raising capital for corporate ventures, and it has many upsides:
Money to grow the business: With an infusion of cash derived from the sale of stock, the company may grow its business without having to borrow from traditional sources, and it will thus avoid paying the interest required to service debt. This "free" cash spent on growth initiatives can result in a better bottom line. New capital may be spent on marketing and advertising, hiring more experienced personnel who require lucrative compensation packages, research and development of new products and/or services, renovation of physical plants, new construction and dozens of other programs to expand the business and improve profitability.
Money for shareholders and others: With more cash in the company coffers, additional compensation may be offered to investors, stakeholders, founders and owners, partners, senior management and employees enrolled in stock ownership plans.
Company stock and stock options may be used in an effective incentive program. In recruiting talented senior management personnel, stock and options are an attractive inducement. For employees, a performance-based program of stock and/or option bonuses is an effective means of increasing productivity and managerial successes. Stocks and/or options may also be used in other forms of compensation, as well.
Other benefits of going public: Once the company has gone public, additional equities may be easily sold to raise capital. A publicly-traded company with stock that has performed successfully will usually find it easier to borrow money, and at a more favorable rate, when additional capital is needed.
A publicly-traded company may also have more leverage in negotiating with vendors, and it may be more attractive to customers. This is a critical aspect of business; a company that keeps vendor costs low may post better profit margins. Customers usually have a better perception of companies with a presence on a major stock exchange, another advantage over privately-held companies. This favorable opinion is largely due to the audit and financial statement scrutiny that public companies have to undergo on a regular basis.
A publicly-traded company conveys a positive image (if business goes well) and attracts high-quality personnel at all levels, including senior management. Such companies are growth-oriented; they answer to a board of directors and shareholders who continually demand increased profitability, and are quick to rectify management problems and replace poorly performing senior executives.
But before undertaking the complex, expensive and time-consuming preparations and incurring the risks involved, the upside and downside of this critical move must be fully assessed. Although there are numerous benefits to being a public company, this prestige comes with an increased amount of restrictions and requirements. (Learn more in The Murky Waters Of The IPO Market and The Biggest IPO Flops.)
In this section of our corporate finance walkthrough, we'll first explore how a company goes public. We'll then look at lesser-known, less-glamorous methods of raising capital, including new equity securities (secondary offerings) and rights offerings. We'll also look at how dilution impacts existing shareholders, and we'll touch on the issuance of long-term debt for financing. Public Issue And Cash Offer

We've frequented Garces since they opened and while I love the atmosphere, the fact it's a byow and the service is always good ... I was very disappointed during our last dining experience in Jan 2011. We ordered the baby artichoke app and couldn't believe how miniscule (smaller than small) the artichokes actually were. They were swimming in the sauce, which was amazing but too much. the app was disappointing. While the portions in general are on the small side, this was ridiculous. Other than that, we enjoyed our dinner. The entree selections could be expanded or changed up more often for those who dine there frequently. We'll be back, but won't order an app unless we actually see it first : )

I'm excited to try other Jose Garces spots. The food was fantastic. Try the fungi pizza and the hanger steak. Avoid the mint chocolate bomb dessert unless you REALLY like fresh mint or you like eating pine trees. The beer is overpriced so bring your own bottle of wine. If you forget, there is a PA state store IN the restaurant.. The feel of this place is great, but the tables are so close together so make sure you're OK with dining close to other. We ended up chatting with the table next to us (no more than 2 inches away). Probably not the best place in town if you don't want people knowing your personal business or details of your private life. A tight squeeze!

EXCELLENT deep dish pizza - It has a crust make of cornmeal (we think) with lot's of cheese. Really good!

I have been wanting to try Garces Trading Co. since it opened and I finally had the chance to last night. The food is absolutely delicious. We started with the baby artichokes which were so juicy and sweet and had an amazing sauce. We followed that by the endive salad which was also a very good starter. For our meals, we got 2 pasta dishes, the carbonara and the linguini with clams. They were both very very good but the carbonara was unreal! I cannot wait to go back and get this again. I might even have to order it for takeout, it was THAT good! Don't hesitate to try this neighborhood gem. Its a byob as well which makes it that much more appealing to me!

This restaurant is a great selection of food from many different countries throughout the world. Not only does it have fabulous sandwich, coffee, and dessert takeout counters, but it also has a great menu. The menu covers meats, cheeses, great sides, as well as a mix of pasta, meat, and fish dishes. Not only are the menu and takeout counters innovative and tasty, but the restaurant was also clever enough to partner with a state liquor store, where you can select a bottle of wine of your choice. The only minor problem was that the music was slightly loud and my parents, who I ate with, were slightly annoyed at the end. Since moving to Philadelphia two years ago I have been waiting for a restaurant to have such a selection of food and drink where I can bring visitors.

The tasting menu at lunchtime is a great value. Try the artichokes, the leek soup, the green pizza, the pasta with clams, the wonderful cheese plate (request they include the LaSerena--you can eat it with a spoon). Love the fact that you can buy your wine in a sectioned off area run by the Pa. State Store at State Store prices. Only drawback, the entire table must have the tasting menu in order for anyone to have it. The terrific waiter waived the rule for us, but there are no guarantees it will not be enforced next time.

Visited Garces Trading today for lunch. It is such a lovely place and not expensive! Had the lamb sandwich which was very good and of a good size , the duck salad which was great, and the baby artichokes. All for 30 bucks. Not bad for a Jose Garces place. All in all a great place and I will definitely be back.

We have had the date February 14 scheduled on our calendar for some time now. No, not because it's Valentine's Day (although we're smart enough not to ignore that day!), but rather because that was the day that Lady Gaga had promised we'd finally get a chance to listen to the title track off of her highly anticipated follow-up to her multi-platinum smash album, The Fame, called Born This Way. However, earlier this week, Gaga set the Twitterverse afire when she tweeted "Can't wait any longer, single coming Friday." And just like that, all of the Little Monsters — ourselves included — set our alarms for 6 a.m. this morning to listen to "Born This Way" for the very first time.
So, what did people think of the Gaga's new disco stomper?
- "It – ??s f**king amazing. 'Born This Way' … will completely get rid of Gloria Gaynor – ??s 'I Will Survive.' This is the new 'I Will Survive' – ??This is the new gay anthem." — Elton John
- "'Born This Way' sums up all the complex Gaga mythos, all her politics and Catholic angst and smeared lipstick, in one brilliant pop blast." — Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone
- "Born This Way is a thumping, almost disco anthem that stomps along until the chorus crashes in with the weight of a discarded meat dress." — Michael Cragg, The Guardian (UK)
- 'Born This Way' splits the difference between Madonna's 1989 classic 'Express Yourself' and David Guetta and Kelly Rowland's 2009 anthem 'When Love Takes Over.' But the song is also one of Gaga's most overtly political ones, with an inspirational (if heavy-handed) message about embracing and celebrating diversity. Consider Born This Way to be Gaga's rejiggering of Michael Jackson's 1991 single 'Black or White.'" — Kevin O'Donnell, Spin
- "A fearless equality anthem that makes someone like Katy Perry, firing cream out of her t*ts and banging on about fireworks, seem a little disingenuous." — Peter Robinson, NME
- "The song – ??s so disco that the mention of a mother – ??s 'boudoir' in the first verse becomes totally natural and hilarious. The song – ??s so disco that the line about people being 'Orient-made' barely even registers, because it sounds like something nobody would have thought twice about saying in 1978. The vocals are so bonkers disco that I almost wish we could make them extra-bonkers by having Christina Aguilera sing them." — Nitsuh Abebe, Vulture

WORCESTER, Mass. – Senior forward Dave Dudzinski (Elburn, Ill.) tied his season high by scoring 26 points, as the Holy Cross men's basketball team earned a 66-63 victory over Army at the Hart Center. Dudzinski hit 10 of 19 field goal attempts, in addition seven rebounds and three steals on the night. The Crusaders improve to 15-10 on the season and 9-4 in the Patriot League with the victory, while the Black Knights fall to 12-12 overall and 8-5 in the conference.
Holy Cross was up by just one point (57-56) with less than two minutes remaining, before junior guard Justin Burrell (Dumfries, Va.) knocked down a three-point field goal to make it a four-point game (60-56). After a jumper by Army's Kyle Wilson trimmed the lead to two points, Dudzinski scored off an inbounds pass from sophomore guard Eric Green (Mountain House, Calif.) with 28.1 seconds left to make the score 62-58. The Black Knights were able to pull within one point twice in the closing seconds, but each time Burrell knocked down both ends of a one-and-one to put the Crusaders back up by three. A three-pointer by Wilson was then off the mark just before the final buzzer, allowing Holy Cross to pull out the victory.
The Crusaders had opened the game with an 11-8 lead, before going over eight minutes without scoring as Army claimed a 17-11 advantage. The Black Knights would go in front by eight points (29-21) late in the half, before Holy Cross used a quick 9-0 spurt to take a 30-29 advantage into the locker room. A 10-0 run early in the second half would give the Crusaders their largest lead of the night (40-31), and Holy Cross was still up by eight (48-40) with nine minutes left in regulation. But Army came back with an 11-2 spurt to pull ahead (51-50), and the score would stay close the rest of the way.
Burrell finished the night with 10 points and tied his career high with nine assists. Green added eight points, three rebounds and three assists, while junior forward Malcolm Miller (Laytonsville, Md.) totaled eight points and eight rebounds. The Black Knights were led by Wilson with 23 points and five rebounds.
Holy Cross returns to action on Saturday, Feb. 15, when it travels to Lehigh for a 2:00 p.m. game.

100 Gives 100
Home is something we all understand: a place where we can laugh, cry, and be ourselves with the people who love us the most. Home is a stable place where we can deal with the ups and downs of daily life. You can help families of low-income have a home by becoming one of the 100 giving $100.
We Made It!
We've reached 100 people giving $100 each month! Thank you for giving hope by making a dignified, stable home possible for families of low income.
Not one of the 100? We still need you! Life is a fluid thing and donors are occasionally unable to fulfill their commitment. Help us stay at or above 100. We'll keep you up to date as our needs change. Thank you for being on this journey with us.
How 100 Gives 100 Works
100 people each giving $100 a month allows Urban Homeworks to offer all of its rental apartments available to households making as little as $10 per hour without the need of a government subsidy. Your contribution helps provide a stable housing foundation, greatly improving each family's ability to thrive.
What Support Means for Low-Income Families
The standard we follow recommends that tenants make three times the rental rate (or pay no more than 33% of their total income to rent). That means that the families on the waiting list need to find rent for as little as $275–$350 per month (almost impossible) for them to afford a home and still provide for their household. But Urban Homeworks has units that rent for as little as $530 for a 3-bedroom home. 100 Gives 100, combined with recent project funding, allows Urban Homeworks to meet more of the rental needs of our families with very low-income.

Wincanton High Street is scene of parking right row
Posted: August 31, 2012|
A parking war has erupted between aggrieved High Street residents and Wincanton Town Council.
Dozens of unhappy homeowners living at the top of the town's High Street are calling for the introduction of a residential parking permit scheme.
They say it will let them park for longer on High Street, which is currently subject to a one-hour parking restriction enforced by Somerset County Council.
However, Wincanton Town Council has pledged to fiercely oppose the request amid fears it could take spaces away from shoppers.
South Somerset district councillor and Wincanton town councillor David Norris lives at the top of High Street. He said: "I believe a residents' parking scheme would be appropriate. If the bays we're talking about were full up all of the time with shoppers it would be a different story, but it is too far up High Street for them.
"The spaces outside our homes wouldn't affect trade at all. The bays we're talking about are completely empty but residents can't park there for more than one hour, meaning they have to park around the corner at the inconvenience of somebody else."
The responsibility for civil parking enforcement transferred from the police to Somerset County Council in June.
Since then, residents have seen the town's parking restrictions tightly upheld – with fines being handed out to offenders.
Liz Ashley, who lives on High Street, said: "I don't mind if people park outside my house, but if the spaces are free I would like to leave my car there for longer.
"It's a bit of a daily struggle when I'm here worrying if the car is over the meter or not.
"Having a residents' permit scheme would not affect trade or commerce in the town. I'm not demanding we have a God-given right to park there, but it is silly if the bays are free most of the time."
Somerset County Council says it will consider a residents' parking scheme if a majority of residents are in favour, once its new enforcement system is established.
In a survey carried out by some High Street residents, more than 80 per cent called for a residential permit scheme.
However, Wincanton town councillors opted to oppose any requests for such a scheme to be introduced.
Town councillor Richard D'Arcy said: "There's a danger in setting a precedent here. It's all about helping the High Street trade.
"We've spent lots of money providing the free car parking in the town, and all this situation highlights is that people have been abusing the system for years. Nothing new has been introduced."
Town councillor Maureen Emery, who also lives on High Street, added: "The tightly-enforced parking restrictions are the best thing that's ever happened.
"The shoppers come and go all the time, and it is very easy to park.
"If 50 people buy a residential permit they will be able to leave their car on High Street all day and night. If that happens, then where will everyone else park?"
Councillor Harvey Siggs, Somerset County Council's cabinet member for Highways, said: "While I appreciate that people will inevitably have noticed an increase in the enforcement of the street parking regulations, it is not by any means excessive. I would point out that these regulations are not new, they are just being better enforced."
He added that any new residents' parking scheme would involve careful assessment of the parking situation in that area, and a "wide public consultation."

State constitution sets guideline in case governor is incapacitated
Posted By John Schoonejongen On July 28, 2011 @ 2:08 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
While Gov. Chris Christie, who was hospitalized in Somerville today after having difficulty breathing, was apparently never unable to discharge the duties of the office, there is a procedure set up in case the governor is incapacitated.
Here is what the New Jersey Constitution says:
Article V, Section I, paragraph 7 amended effective January 17, 2006.
In the event of the failure of the Governor-elect to qualify, or of the absence from the State of a Governor in office, or the Governor's inability to discharge the duties of the office, or the Governor's impeachment, the functions, powers, duties and emoluments of the office shall devolve upon the Lieutenant Governor, until the Governor-elect qualifies, or the Governor in office returns to the State, or is no longer unable to discharge the duties of the office, or is acquitted, as the case may be, or until a new Governor is elected and qualifies.
