John Edwards finally responds to the $400-haircut allegations swirling around him. A sampling from the Quad-City Times:

On Sunday, the French will choose two candidates to square off in the presidential runoff. David Bell has predictions here.

Fred Thompson Watch
"Seven weeks ago, I would have put it very low," Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, said of the odds of a Thompson bid. "Four weeks ago, when I talked on the phone to both he and his wife, I would have put it at 50-50. "Last Wednesday, I talked to them both again on the phone, and I have to tell you I think he is very interested. I think he is at the 75- to 80-percent level at this point. I really do."
--Michael Crowley
Casey And The Democratic Convention
I know this is tiresome but some myths must be shot down again and again. In his response to Adam's post on abortion and "big tent" parties, John Podhoretz writes:
Reid Has Second Thoughts
Harry Reid doesn't seem overly thrilled with the Supreme Court's abortion decision yesterday: "A lot of us wish that Alito weren't there and O'Connor were there." That's nice, and I agree, but then why did Reid vote for the D&X ban in the first place?

Courtesy of The Drudge Report, we have this item on John McCain:
On Inspiration
In the immediate aftermath of the Virginia Tech massacre, it seemed like some conservative commentators were almost hoping that the murderer was an Islamic terrorist. He wasn't. But that hasn't stopped some of these conservative commentators from trying to link Cho Seung Hui to Islamic terrorism.
Big Bosoms And Square Jaws
Everyone knows that John Ashcroft was fully committed to fighting the all-crucial War on Porn. But what about Alberto Gonzales? He wasn't one of those porno-king sympathizers found so frequently on the Western left, was he? Hardly, Salon's Mark Follman reports today.
Rats Fleeing?
A couple of minutes ago in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican Senator Tom Coburn called for Gonzales's resignation, right to his face. Doesn't look good.

The frames can also be ordered with short legs to further maximize plant height, while adding flexibility and mobility to the end users grow room. The shorter legs, when ordered with the table frame, will add another 2 feet of head room for taller plants. The standard head room height, for "under table reservoirs" is approximately 4.5', and can be increased to 6 or 7 feet with the short leg option, assuming an eight foot ceiling height.

Is the composer the best interpreter of his own work? You have the unique opportunity to find an answer to this question listening to The Symphony of Psalms and the suite from Firebird by Stravinsky performed by Symphonic Orchestra of the National Philharmonic and conducted by Stravinsky himself. The album is complemented by Variations performed by Robert Craft, American conductor, commentator, and – from 1948 on – Stravinsky's collaborator. The recordings were made on 28 May, 1965.
"...There is fortunately and appropriately great clarity of sound and the tapes have seemingly suffered little or no deterioration. The orchestra sounds well drilled and the Philharmonic Choir cope well ... The orchestral principals acquit themselves with distinction in the Variations, and the bass clarinet makes a notable contribution; wind chording is precise. The Symphony performance stresses its lyricism, not least in Laudate Dominum, but as ever Stravinsky's rhythm is taut and vital and it emerges strengthened as a result. The woodwinds' activity in the final movement is an indication of their commitment and the final choral Alleluias are increasingly convincing and cumulatively moving. The greater clarity and forward characterisation of Stravinsky's CBC recording can hardly be denied but this is a welcome expansion of Stravinsky's concert discography..."

Why you need a financial battle buddy
Money is very tightly woven in with emotion, and for good reason. Money decisions represent a variety of emotional and social decisions, and choosing a financial battle buddy can help you make better financial decisions.
The emotional implications of money
Money represents resources. The things we do to earn money take time and emotion, and the way we spend that money has emotional implications as well. Study after study has found that spending money is associated with dopamine release in the brain. As the pleasure chemical in the brain, dopamine is incredibly powerful and incredibly addictive chemical. When we spend money on ourselves, our body rewards us. For items that do not have an immediate impact, it is tougher to spend because we do not get an immediate reward.
How a battle buddy can help
When we set out goals that are contrary to the habits we have developed, it can be tough. Some research says that changing money habits can be as difficult as quitting any other addiction. A money battle buddy can help you stick to your goals and spend less money by reminding you of the goals that you have for your money. Like an exercise buddy or addiction sponsor, a monetary battle buddy is removed a bit from your situation and can help you take a step back before you spend money or break your promises to yourself.
Being accountable
Research has shown time and time again that being accountable for our actions makes us much more likely to choose the action that is the most beneficial. Accountability helps us focus, helps us think about how and why we are making a particular decision, and creates immediate consequences for decisions that may or may not have an immediate impact. In essence, being accountable to a battle buddy can replace the dopamine hit of spending with the dopamine hit of being told you have made a good decision.
[A cash advance can be less expensive than overdraft fees, if you need last-minute cash.]
Choosing your battle buddy
A financial battle buddy does not necessarily need to hold your hand through every single financial transaction. Choose a friend with whom you are comfortable sharing intimate knowledge of your spending habits. Ask your battle buddy to do something specific, and explain what your goals are. When you do something good, ask them to tell you good job. When you're tempted to do something that is contrary to your financial goals, call your battle buddy and ask for their advice.

How to Calculate Annual Percentage Rate
Three Parts:Understanding APRCalculating APR for Credit CardsCalculating APR for Mortgage Loans
If you have credit cards or bank loans for your home, you pay interest (or a finance charge) on that money at a specific percentage over the course of the year. This is called APR, or annual percentage rate. Calculating your APR on your credit cards takes only a few minutes if you know some key factors and a little algebra. The APR on mortgage loans, however, is different from the simple interest rate because of additional charges or fees to you for securing your loan. Learn how to do both here.
Part 1 of 3: Understanding APR
1Understand that it costs money to borrow money. If you're using a credit card or taking out a mortgage on a home, you may need to use more money than you currently have. If you're given credit, the lenders who give you that credit expect you to pay the premium back, in addition to a finance charge for the luxury of being given money. This finance charge is called APR.Ad
2Know that APR can be broken down into monthly or daily interest payments. APR is the annual rate you pay on credit or loans. For example, if you take a $1,000 loan and your APR is 10%, at the end of the year you'll owe $100, or 10% of your $1,000 premium.
- But lenders can tweak that number and charge monthly. If you want to know the monthly periodic rate, just divide your APR by 12. 10% ÷ 12 = .83%. Every month, your interest charge is going to be .83%.
- Lenders can also tweak the APR to charge daily. If you want to know the monthly periodic rate, just divide your APR by 365. 10% ÷ 365 = .02%. Every day, your interest charge is going to be .02%.
3Know the three types of APR. APR comes in three flavors. There's fixed, variable, and tiered.[1] Fixed APRs remain constant for the life of the loan or the credit card. Variable APRs can fluctuate daily, leaving the debtor in the dark about how much interest she's paying. Tiered APRs depend on what tier the debt falls into.
4Understand that the average APR is about 14%.[2] That's not an insignificant sum, especially if you're unable to pay off the principal quickly. Average fixed rates hover slightly below 14%, while average variable rates hover slightly above 14%.
5Know that you will not be charged APR if you pay off your monthly credit card balance in full. If you spend $500 on your credit card but pay off the entire balance by the due date, APR is not calculated on your money. To avoid paying interest and to better your overall FICO credit score, make monthly payments on time and in full.Ad
Part 2 of 3: Calculating APR for Credit Cards
1Find the current balance, or amount owed, on your card using the most recent statement. Let's say your current balance, with APR, is $2,500.
2Find the finance charge on your card using the most recent statement. Your hypothetical credit statement says that your finance charge is $25.
3Divide your finance charge by the amount owed.
- $25 ÷ $2,500 = 0.01
4Multiply the answer by 100 to get a percent. This is your finance charge or interest charged monthly.
- 0.01 x 100 = 1%
5Multiply the monthly charge by 12. The answer is your annual interest (percentage) rate, also known as "APR."
- 1% x 12 = 12%
Part 3 of 3: Calculating APR for Mortgage Loans
1Locate an APR calculator online. Type is "APR mortgage calculator" in a search engine and click on a result.
2Determine the amount you intend to borrow and enter the loan amount where indicated on the calculator. Let's say for the sake of example that you intend to borrow $300,000.
3Enter the extra costs of securing the loan (fees) where indicated on the calculator. Let's say it costs $750 extra in fees.
4Enter the given interest rate, which represents the interest rate per year without the additional fees. For example, let's calculate based on a 6.25% interest rate.
5Enter the life of the loan. Most, but not all, mortgages are based on the 30-year fixed.
6Hit the "calculate" button to get the APR, which will be different from the interest rate and represents the real cost of the loan based on the total amount borrowed.
- The APR of our hypothetical mortgage would be 6.37%.
- The monthly principal and interest payment would be $1,847.
- The total cost of the interest on the mortgage would add up to $364,975, making the total cost of the mortgage a whopping $664,920.
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Mortgage loans are very complicated and involve more than just the loan amount and an annual interest rate. The formula for calculating APR on a mortgage loan involves more than just a few simple multiplication and division problems. A loan agent often will not be able to calculate APR without using a special APR calculator to figure out the formula. If you are shopping around for the best mortgage loan value, you can usually find the information needed to input into an APR calculator from the lenders online. It is always a good idea to compare different lenders when considering a mortgage loan.
- Note that you must consider any hidden charges when attempting to calculate APR for mortgage loans. If your lender will not provide all charges on your loan, look for another lender. All charges must be disclosed to you when applying for your loan.
Things You'll Need
- Credit card statement
- Calculator
- Paper and pencil or pen
- APR calculator (online)
- Mortgage loan information

I'm currently revamping my website and need some info on how best to photograph bracelets. I've tried different materials, backgrounds and bracelet displays but am not happy with the results. The best images I've had have been when I've used white card as it less grainy when close up. Can anyone suggest anything else I could try please? xSandra
Red Devil Jewellery
Can't remember who but someone mentioned about displaying bracelets on cones made out of card at craft fairs - might be worth a try.
Also have you tried buying a few different ceramic tiles and trying them on those?
I've done some with mirrors as the base.

Great suggestions - thanks, I'll see what I can find.Sandra

Try textured white fabric - we've been photographing some of our jewellery for the new catalogue on a white textured material (actually it is a tea towel! ).
Depending on the look you want your photographs to have you could also try draping the bracelets over beach pebbles, over glass bowls - looks around the house for anything that is quite simple and that won't detract from your jewellery but will just compliment it.
or you could edit out the backgrounds in photoshop....

My 12 yr old daughter took my bracelets recently and went outside and hung them, in staggered formation, on a twig sort of branch of a tree. It look really good! But because the photo is too big i can't upload it. Don't know how!lily

I use a piece of slate when photographing my items, its not brilliant but it does the job. I have seen someone cant remember who unfortunately) use a large shiney black tile before and it looked brilliant!!! (and if you go to your local tile shop and say your looking for a sample you maybe able to pick one up for free or a few pounds)
You could see the product really well and also a reflection of the piece in the tile - i dont know how easy this is tho!
I hope this helps somehow?!Handmade Jewellery

So many beads................so little time!
They look great - another good tip (which I use when taking photos of our jewellery or products) is to increase the amount of light that comes into the camera, if your camera allows you to adjust the light levels, give it a go - it seems to work better than using a flash or using a light and makes everything look a bit brighter...Kernowcraft Rocks & Gems Ltd

To Do: Book Your Flights, but First Find Out What the Government Knows
• Find out what the government knows about you when you travel. At noon on April 2, the Cato Institute will host a panel discussing government surveillance of travelers as well as the Transportation Security Administration's continued refusal to engage in a public comment process for using imaging machines to screen air travelers.

Do You Know Sonia Kashuk?
I don't just like Sonia Kashuk, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her. Her line of make-up at Target is sophisticated, modern, and really makes a girl feel chic. She is a genius. I love her style and what she's about: high end product, for a very affordable price.
Remember when Mineral Make-up hit the scene? That's when I was first introduced to the Sonia Kashuk line. I was on the search for affordable mineral make-up. I looked up reviews regarding her line, and all I found was nothin' but love for Ms. Kashuk's product. For $15.00, I couldn't lose. It's easy and quick to apply. It doesn't feel like you're wearing make-up, and I have used nothing else ever since.
Sonia also has the most stylish accessories. I heart this Kabuki Brush. I don't have one – yet (hint, hint). It's a limited edition. It just looks so elegent. I'm sure it has magical powers that will transform me to an awesome goddess of beauty. If you see me and I don't exude goddess-like beauty, it's because I haven't bought the brush yet.
Very modern, very urbane. I love the gold and natural fiber look of the make-up bag, as well. A very nice complement. So classy.
Oooh. A good Christmas or Birthday present idea.
If you don't know Sonia Kashuk, I highly recommend that you do. You can check out all things Sonia on her website here. Or if you're in the neighborhood, swing by your local Target.

Orange Jacket Brigade invades Augusta
Those in the market for a Green Jacket this week at Augusta National Golf Club will have to deal with the Orange Jacket Brigade. And frankly, that could be a formidable task.
When the opening round of the Masters begins on Thursday much of the talk will revolve around the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson.
But don't forget about Corbin Mills, Kyle Stanley, Jonathan Byrd and Lucas Glover.
The current Tiger (Mills) and past Tigers (Stanley, Byrd and Glover) are legitimate threats to etch their names in Augusta lore; Mills as the top amateur and the trio of past Clemson stars as potential Masters winners.
Mills is one of just six amateurs in the field this week. The Clemson junior, obviously, is "just happy to be there."
But he also deserves to be there, and could position himself to be really happy after 72 holes.
A win in last summer's Public Links Championship in Oregon sealed a spot in Augusta for the Wren High School product, and he won that event despite dealing with an ear infection and pinkeye.
A week later he finished first in the Players Amateur at Belfair Plantation, which secured a spot in the RBC Heritage.
The Masters' top amateur has received the Silver Cup since 1952, and Mills certainly has the game to take it home on Sunday.
As for the Clemson pros, they've all shown they know how to win and look good doing it.
Stanley was a winner at Phoenix earlier this year and is currently fifth in the FedEx points standings.
Byrd has a pair of top 10 finishes in 2012 and has five PGA wins on his resume.
Glover, trying to get back in the swing following a knee injury sustained in a freak surfing mishap in Hawaii, already knows what it's like to win a major.
His stock rose dramatically with a 2009 U.S. Open title, and his most recent PGA victory came last May when he edged Byrd in the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte.
A Clemson man winning the Masters is probably more a case of "when" than "if."
This is a school that has a national championship in golf, seven regional crowns and nine Atlantic Coast Conference titles. Only Oklahoma State University, with five golfers, is better represented in this year's field.
And of course Tiger men's golf coach Larry Penley, who has been at the helm of the program since 1983, has his fingerprints all over the success of these golfers.
They've learned from the best, and beginning tomorrow they will try to showcase their best skills in the most prestigious golf tourney in the world.
It's folly, of course, to try to forecast a winner at Augusta.
Who had Charl Schwartzel in the 2011 pool, or Angel Cabrera in 2009 or Trevor Immelman the year before that?
Then again, there is strength in numbers, and this week at Augusta National the Orange Jacket Brigade numbers four — all winners, all capable, and all well worth watching.
And watching out for.

Heidi Hall was frightened by a breast lump.
My friend Jahna diagnosed my condition as "instant onset hypochondria."
She's done a fair amount of health reporting and knows how it can make you look for your own symptoms. Like the time I interviewed a Livingston, Tenn., man whose melanoma removal was followed by a year of stomach-turning, muscle-cramping chemotherapy. That night, I looked down and saw skin cancer right on my forearm.
It turned out to be tomato paste. Whew.
But what I learned from a month of talking to cancer patients and their friends, relatives and doctors is this: A little paranoia is not a bad thing when it comes to cancer.
It's a tough balance. People can't be so scared that they're immobilized, but they can't be so casual they don't bother with screenings.
I know about both.
As an adolescent, I helped dress my Grammy after her mastectomy. Claudine Dunne was a lefty, so she couldn't do it alone for a while after doctors removed her left breast. It's scary enough to see your grandmother in the nude, but the long, puffy scar really terrified me.
Our family used humor to defuse our fears about her cancer. Grammy, a child of the Depression, started out using pantyhose stuffed with cotton to fill out her bra instead of buying a prosthetic. But the bra rode up on one side, and the nylon irritated her skin, so she'd pop the contraptions out and tuck them into her purse when no one was looking.
One came out attached to the car keys that Pop-Pop pulled from her bag one night at a restaurant. He waved it with a flourish and a "Well, here we have Grammy's boob."
Grammy died cancer-free decades later.
Series changed my ideas
I forgot all about her cancer until 2006, when I was going through my divorce and a Tampa, Fla., nurse practitioner felt a lump on my right breast during my annual well woman exam. I was 36.
I didn't start freaking out until a couple of weeks later, after the mammogram, when the technician immediately followed up with an ultrasound, a knitted brow and a little gasp. That's never good, but she refused to tell me what she saw.
I heard the results on my cell phone on the way to work. I hung up, pulled into the nearest parking lot and cried for about 15 minutes, thinking about Grammy's scar, how I'd go through this without my husband, how I'd have no means of financial support if I couldn't work.
It took two months to work up the courage to call an oncology surgeon. I blamed the delay on a lot of stuff, but not on being scared, which was the truth.
By the time I saw him, the lump was gone. I was so relieved I went into the casual phase. Even though the doctor said to have a mammogram every year, I moved to Nashville well over two years ago and didn't get one.
Until I started reporting this story, that is.
Talking to so many Tennesseans about their cancers changed my ideas about cancer screenings, I hope for good. Because their lives were saved by those.
Let's face it. I am a big woman. For years, I followed up a day of work with the reward of a couple cigarettes pulled from a kitchen drawer, smoked on my back porch with a cocktail or two to unwind. A grandmother and a great aunt had breast cancer.
All of that makes me a candidate for cancer.
On Oct. 30, I had a mammogram.
On Nov. 5, I learned it was clear.

The RBA is expected to keep the official cash rate on hold until at least May, according to a poll of leading economists.
The latest Bloomberg interest rate survey found that all 23 economists that were asked for their views on the RBA's movements expected the bank to hold fire for the next two months.
This would leave the official cash rate at 4.25% until May, when 16 of the 23 surveyed economists expect a drop of 0.25%. Fourteen of Bloomberg's panel of 23 expect a further 0.25% rate cut in June.
But before property investors start counting on rate relief to come their way as winter kicks in, it's worth noting that the decision makers at the RBA have sprung a few surprises in recent months. Only a handful of economists successfully predicted last month's 0.25% rate cut, for example.
No US-style property crash
The news comes on the back of the head of the RBA's financial stability department Luci Ellis' claims that Australia will avoid a US-style real estate crash.
"I would like to stress that Australia, like many other countries, does not have the ingredients needed to create an outcome like that in the United States," she said in a speech at the recently held Australian Mortgage Conference 2012.
She added, however, that to avoid a crash mortgage lenders must continue to avoid the temptation to relax their lending standards to the levels that were seen in the US before the subprime mortgage crisis kicked in.
"Much has been written on the causes of the crisis and the housing bust that sparked it, including by me. The causes are complex, but I think they can be boiled down to three things: lax lending practices, lax lending practices, and lax lending practices," said Ellis.
"Lending standards eased in the United States far beyond what was seen in other countries over the boom period."
Other factors that have seen the Australian property market keep its head above water, according to Ellis, include:

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But what about the client list? There's a rumor going around that when Brad Goreski left his position as stylist Rachel Zoe's style director last September, he took Zoe's client Demi Moore with him. Can you say drama?
A source who claims to be close to the situation told Page Six that Goreski will dress Moore for this year's round of Oscar parties, and that he dressed her for the Sundance Film Festival, too.
Avid watchers of The Rachel Zoe Project will remember that Moore had been a Zoe client for years — she even appeared on the show. And now — according to the story, at least — Zoe is "furious. Brad assisted her in styling Demi. Now she feels betrayed."
But mum's the word with Zoe's public relations people, and Goreski has already told Page Six he won't be commenting on the story, either. So there's really no way to know for sure if this is even true.
Goreski and Zoe parted ways amicably last fall, but there's been lots of speculation since then as to whether or not the two have been in some kind of fight. After all, now that they're not working together, they're competitors. And while it's possible that competition could put a little strain a years-long relationship, we're pretty sure that's where this story ends: competition.

New developments in connection with university student imposter Azia Kim (photo) were revealed this week by The Stanford Daily. And school officials have confirmed that a Japanese American woman has been hanging out at a physics lab for years without authorization.
Coming right on the heels of the Kim story, another fake student/squatter has been exposed at Stanford. Elizabeth Okazaki, had been a fixture in and around the school's Varian Physics Lab for four years. The Daily has also been all over the Okazaki story.
Meanwhile, duping ROTC officials at Santa Clara University into thinking she was an honor roll student at Stanford for eight months, "Cadet" Kim took classes in military tactics and history and received more than $1350 in army gear, including a bulletproof Kevlar helmet, a full uniform and combat boots.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has been granted permission to appeal the Rangers tax case it lost last year.
The tax authority confirmed it had been given the go-ahead in the case on Monday after applying for leave to appeal in December.
A three-person panel found by a majority of 2-1 that Rangers oldco, which was owned by Murray Group Holdings through a subsidiary at the time, was not liable to pay tax on its use of employee benefit trusts (EBTs) after it won the appeal "in principle".
HMRC argued the loans were being paid as remuneration to players, making them liable to income tax and National Insurance.
It had originally assessed that £46.2m was due in tax by Rangers oldco and several of former owner Sir David Murray's companies, but the tribunal concluded the final bill would be "substantially reduced" from that amount.
On Monday, a HMRC spokesman said the appeal and papers relating to it had now been lodged with the First Tier Tax Tribunal.
The appeal, which is expected to be before the Upper Tax Tribunal, is expected to be held later this year although no date has been fixed yet.
Rangers made payments on behalf of several players and directors through the 81 sub-trusts between 2001 and 2010.
Hearings in the case took place in Edinburgh towards the end of 2011 and concluded in January this year but the verdict was not delivered until November 20.
Rangers oldco was consigned to liquidation in June 2012 after it failed to exit administration via a company voluntary arrangement (CVA).
The club's assets, including Ibrox stadium and the Murray Park training complex, were sold to the Charles Green-led consortium in a £5.5m deal. Administrators Duff and Phelps had been appointed by owner Craig Whyte with the company up to £124m in debt.

If you ever wanted to know just what sort of events lead up to a young lady becoming a leather-clad bride of Christ, we've got all the answers in this new trailer for Hitman: Absolution, which features the background training endured by the Saints.
Of course, this is a follow-up to the pre-E3 release of that Hitman trailer, which was our first taste of the nuns in fetish gear. Unsurprisingly, it raised a lot of eyebrows and a lot of controversy. Groups of gamers around the world were horrified, but nobody can argue that it drew plenty of attention toward the upcoming FPS.
Rather than sweep 'em under the rug, or downplay the girls' controversial inclusion, IO Interactive has instead decided to place this particular enemy upon a pedestal (or is that an altar?).
The Saints have been brought on-board by the International Contract Agency, Agent 47's former employers. The Agency wants 47 dead. The Saints are happy to oblige. You can find out more when Hitman: Absolution hits shelves for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 20th.
[…] Enix stirred up thanks to its choice of trailers. Attention is never a bad thing, they tell us, and nuns with guns is a surefire way of getting plenty of attention. The problem isn't for new fans to the series. If […]
[…] trailer in question? The pre-E3 teaser, starring a bunch of nuns wearing tight latex outfits and brandishing automatic weaponry. Let us […]

Spice Route
Spice Route brings a bit of Southeast Asia to King West. With statues of buddha, wall hangings depicting ancient ruins and a 16 foot waterfall, this stylish asian-bistro bar makes a statement. On the menu are sharing plates including veggie pakora and Thai crab cakes and mains like Kung Pao chicken and wok steamed mussels in a red Thai curry sauce. Yum. In warmer weather some serious lounging unfolds on the side patio.

I will never step foot in this hole again.
Other than that, the usual crowd of single moms, women with baby rabies who are at the precipice of their Wile E Coyote moment in life, that crap roses and are not worth the eyeball energy or wasted attention.
BUT I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised. I had the whole back wall to myself and the other lounge guests did not bother us the whole night. At arrival, they asked if the allotted space was enough which was courteous of them (and we got another table later that night due to numbers). They also didn't ID me or any of my guests knowing that we were part of a party reserved for the night. The music wasn't too loud or annoying - I got to talk to all my friends at a reasonable tone of voice (for a club/lounge atmosphere).
There were two people servicing our party (not exclusively) and sometimes it was hard to find any of them...but when we did and a few of my friends gave him/her attitude, they took it in stride pretty well and got us what we needed.
I really loved the decor too...definitely a place I would hold another party at again and again!
What we liked: the service was friendly, courteous, and attentive even though 4 different servers for 3 people.
- The decor was warm and inviting, the music was good and did not take away from our ability to converse.
What we didn't like: the portions were oddly inconsistent. Pad thai was enormous, kung pow was modest at best and the vegetarian option was grossly undersized. Food quality was fair - no better than a local take out restaurant option.
The biggest fopas of the evening came when the kitchen could not deliver 3 meals to 3 people at the same time. My order arrived first, 10 minutes later the second order came, 5 minutes after that the third order arrived. The kung pow arrived in record time, minutes after the order was placed. Leading me to believe that the order was not prepared fresh, simply heated and served. By the time the third order arrived, my meal had gone cold. A restaurant should understand that dining as a party is the standard. If the kitchen cannot coordinate such a simple concept then it is apparent that this is not a restaurant. To be clear, this is a louge which masquarades as a restaurant.
When the restrooms are the highlight of the visit, then that's all that needs to be said about it. King West has much better options for a positive dining experience.

Mean Girls: feminism, the internet, and being "nice"
Posted on April 23, 2012 by Alyson Macdonald | 21 Comments
This week I got into an argument in the comments of a blog post about rape allegations on another website. The location of this argument doesn't matter, and although most of the content doesn't bear repeating, it provided an almost textbook example of the prehistoric attitudes that women – and in particular, feminist women – face in online discussions. Rather than engaging with the evidence and reasoned arguments that women were putting forward, some of the male commenters were less interested in what we were saying than how we were saying it.
The problem? Apparently we women weren't being nice enough. When we said that it was offensive to automatically assume that all rape allegations are false, we were told that we were being too emotional; if we responded with statistics about how common rape is, and how rare it is for anyone to be convicted, we were criticised for being too "academic". Our points just couldn't be taken seriously if we said anything was interpreted as sarcastic, angry, condescending, or lecturing. Nothing we did could convince them that we deserved to be listened to as equals.
As far as some of corners of the internet are concerned, women should only be allowed to join in with a discussion if they do it nicely. Goodness knows where they got that idea from, because most of the men who perpetuate this idea don't hold themselves to the same standard. They can be as rude, aggressive, or dismissive as they like, and still think that they should be listened to. Of course, it isn't sexist when they address a woman like that, because that's how they speak to everyone, but if a woman uses the same tactics, that makes her a symbol of everything that's wrong with feminism. If only feminists could be more agreeable, they say, then they would have already won.
Except that we wouldn't win by being nice, because disagreeing with them at all is what puts us outside the boundaries of niceness. The only way to be acceptably nice is not to get involved in the debate – essentially, to concede the argument before it has even begun.
This is all bound up with gendered expectations of behaviour. Women are socialised to put up and shut up to a much greater degree than men, so when people tell women off for not being nice, what they often mean is that we're not being feminine. An intrinsic part of femininity is behaving in ways that are pleasing to men, and this becomes so normalised that some men think that they're entitled to demand certain types of behaviour from women. Think of those guys who pass women in the street and tell them to smile – it's a similar thing; we're not here to be awkward, we're supposed to make the world more pleasant with our presence.
Perhaps the worst thing about this is that most of them aren't being deliberately misogynistic when they tell feminists that we need to be more careful about how we express our views. They actually think that they're the good guys, because they're letting us into some secret knowledge about how to make feminism appeal to men. But they're asking for it to be sanitised and separated from the strong emotions that many women feel when confronted with sexism (particularly when it's in the form of sexual assault), so that they don't have to deal with anything that might make them feel uncomfortable.
If telling the unvarnished truth means that I'm not being nice – then fuck nice. When people make excuses for violence against women, there are plenty of women who are going to get angry about it. Why? Because it's difficult to remain calm and objective while discussing an issue that has such a major impact on our lives. When one in four women in this country will experience sexual violence first hand, haven't we got good reason to be angry?

Spot on!
Also you wrote a double "could" in the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph – had my OCD sense tingle a little.

Excellent post!
"Nothing we did could convince them that we deserved to be listened to as equals"… this reminds me of a Radio 4 feature which ran when the Playboy club reopened in London. They had Kat Banyard on, who spoke excellently about links between what is often portrayed as 'harmless fun' and sexual discrimination and violence. To argue for the other side they got Michael Winner on, who refused to engage with her arguments and dismissed her as 'this crazy woman', effectively shutting down the debate. Made me seethe!

Beautifully written – and unfortunately all too true.

Very good piece. Gender certainly plays a role in the tone argument, though it's also applied to anyone critiquing any privileged group. Malvina Reynolds had this to say about it during the Civil Rights struggle in the U.S.
April 23rd, 2012 @ 4:19 pm
Nobody should really have an expectation of getting a response from somebody to whom they are not being polite, male or female. They certainly shouldn't expect any meeting of minds. I feel equally unwilling to engage with impolite/angry males and females, because life is short and it's not worth it. Maybe they are perfectly justified for being angry but that doesn't mean I need to listen to them. And the second somebody accuses me of being a certain thing or thinking a certain way because of my gender, I am no longer really interested in talking to them. In other words, I am basically just like you, only in reverse.
April 23rd, 2012 @ 4:45 pm
Excellent. Yes to all this. Thank you for writing.
April 23rd, 2012 @ 4:47 pm
'An intrinsic part of femininity is behaving in ways that are pleasing to men' – i def understand what you mean here – unfortunate wording tho; one shouldn't confuse the feminine 'norms' with femininity itself. as a femme lesbian it gets pretty tiresome being invisibilised & having to have to explain to people that femininity is my identity – dressing femininely is a form of personal expression and self-care.
great post though, thanks for the read x
April 23rd, 2012 @ 5:55 pm
This seems to be a common problem in general in the blogosphere. People don't read what you actually say, but they often read into things because of what they think it's going to say – based on their own conceptions of course.
Maybe men in specific are more guilty of this. An unrelated story, but still: My friend (woman) bought an apartment and the fireplace was not functioning. So she demanded some of the money she paid back and the guy replied: "I thought you were a nice girl!" Nice? He made a big mistake not telling her that it didn't work! (She got the money by the way.)

You know, I don't owe anyone 'nice'. I am under no obligation to make anyone's interaction with me soft, nonthreatening, or more comfortable at the expense of my honesty.
However, I do try very hard to practice 'civil'. This means using reasoned arguments instead of angry diatribes. It means attacking people's arguments based on logical inconsistencies instead of attacking them personally. It means telling someone he's wrong, not telling him he's stupid. It means working hard not to rise to misogynistic bait chummed into my waters.
When someone is rude to me, I stop listening to him; I say, "Do please forgive me the interruption of your recitation, but I find that your lack of courtesy disinclines me to continue this discussion. I regret that I must refuse to further engage you on the topic. (yes, this occasionally means blocking or banning problem people)" By the same token, if I want to be listened to, I practice the basic rules of civil discourse. This does not mean I am not passionate or emotional, it just means that instead of cheap shots and profanity, I deliver an ice-cold controlled evisceration of the argument, with unfailing courtesy and a teeth-baring smile.
I am angry about how women are treated. I am angry about how *I* have been treated specifically, but also on behalf of other women. I am very angry, and no one who's crossed wits with me will accuse me of being 'nice', but the practice of civility makes it much harder for them to dismiss me as 'shrill' or 'emotional' or 'irrational' out of hand. They are more likely to actually have to focus on the things I say, to which it becomes abruptly clear they have no response.
And when someone does tell me, "You should be nicer if you want to be taken seriously," my only response is, "You, sir, have not earned 'nice'. You should be grateful for the unearned civility I bestow upon you; if you want 'nice' you must be far more respectful and courteous to merit it."
April 23rd, 2012 @ 6:51 pm
It's just another tactic. Addressing something other than the issue at hand, that involves *your* behavior, is deflection. It puts you on the defensive. The problem is, many people aren't about problem-solving — specially when it comes to having to accept fault. They're about winning the argument. At your expense.
April 23rd, 2012 @ 6:56 pm
And to be honest I wouldn't even get into a discussion about sexual assault on the internet, with the amount of internet trolls going about, mostly male, trying to provoke a response from the female population. And they've succeeded in getting their response. I wouldn't talk to these people in every day life so why would I talk to them on the internet? They aren't even worth my time. It comes down to the point where these people that are saying these nasty disgusting things to provoke educated women into a response will be on the dole and we are in high powered, highly paid jobs. That is feminism for you.
I disagree with your femininity statement. And I see a great deal of women exploiting their feminine appeal onto the unsuspecting male, we've become experts at it and just because we use the gifts we've been given does not make us any less of a feminist.

Really good and well reasoned blog post. Reminds me a bit about the ol' breastfeeding argument – it's fine, as long as you do it discreetly. It's ok for us to be women, but can we just do it in the least noticeable way?

It might be a bit late in the day, but I just wanted to respond to some of the comments.
DBL – I'm not suggesting that we should all go around being rude, but that women are perceived as behaving aggressively in a discussion even when they aren't. The bar for "appropriate" behaviour is often set much higher for women than for men.
Emery – I'm sorry that you felt ignored, but consider my privilege checked, and I'll try to do better in the future. I was thinking about how femininity is perceived by others, rather than the intention behind it, however, I could have expressed this more clearly.
Lallie – Normally I wouldn't get into this kind of debate either, but in this instance, a writer on a well-known, progressive Scottish blog had posted something that perpetuated rape myths – in apparent sincerity – and I wasn't comfortable letting it pass without comment. I'm not sure quite what you're disagreeing with about my views on femininity, though. I don't claim that it is inherently a bad thing; what I object to is the idea that all aspects of feminine behaviour should be compulsory for all women, all the time. We're all individuals, and should be allowed to express ourselves differently without suffering social punishments.
April 27th, 2012 @ 2:38 pm
Thanks, DBL, for lecturing us silly gurlz about how we should behave on the internet.
April 27th, 2012 @ 2:40 pm
"And I see a great deal of women exploiting their feminine appeal onto the unsuspecting male, we've become experts at it and just because we use the gifts we've been given does not make us any less of a feminist."
Yeah, actually, that's a really unfeminist statement to make. "The unsuspecting male"… what bullshit.
April 30th, 2012 @ 2:30 pm
Brilliant post. I think women should call men out much more on their lack of reasoning, their bad tone and privalege. Definitely scrutinise where he is going wrong in his online behaviour and poijt it out more often.
Also I hate when people confuse 'femininity' with 'women'. Women are not feminine, they're people.
I'm far more likely to engage with and respect men who don't feel the need to label me – that includes the label 'feminist'.Because most often they appropriate it, like any label, in a negative way. The more he uses that, the less respect I have for a man's opinion.
May 4th, 2012 @ 9:53 pm
Men have always been allowed to be Bastards (and other men will admire them for it) but there is no offense greater than being a Bitch.
May 4th, 2012 @ 10:29 pm
Telling an angry woman to be "nice" is a deliberate provocation. It's INTENDED to frustrate you. It's INTENDED to make you feel powerless. It's INTENDED to do exactly what it does: to make you think you're not important, that your feelings don't matter, and that you're two feet tall. Dismissing a woman is a passive-aggressive tactic men use to stay in control of the conversation and, judging from and anger and frustration I see on this board, it's a very effective tactic. If you're a woman, understand this: the vast majority of men don't want you as an equal, they want you as a subordinate. They want you dressed up, coiffed, perfumed, made-up, compliant and "nice". These men don't feel ashamed if you scold them and they aren't going to play fair if you ask nicely. Men as a group are not going to cede power to women except through the use of force: force of argument, force of law, force of politics and, in the case of date rapists and spouse-abusers— force of violent self-defense. That's as good as it gets. When a guy tells you to be "nice", consider it a full frontal attack on your rights to be fully human, because that's exactly what it is.

Updated: Seven named to practice squad
The Jets have officially announced the three waiver claims and corresponding moves that we reported earlier, as well as officially announcing their practice squad.
UPDATE: The Jets have now confirmed that Dalton Freeman has been added, as speculated below.
Bent, TheJetsBlog.comEarlier, Seth Walder tweeted the following:
That would be seven, if it comes to pass (UPDATE: It did – see above). The limit is eight, so they may be negotiating with some players from outside the organization or possibly waiting until tomorrow so they can give the final spot to Danny Lansanah.
As for the six named so far, they should be met with approval by most of the fanbase, but don't be surprised if some of the names that didn't make it are shuttled onto the squad at some point over the next month.
As soon as they make more roster moves, this is likely to change again, so we'll try and keep you updated.

The Saab saga has taken yet another interesting turn with parent company National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) forced to halt production and cut its workforce.
The "short term cash problem" is apparently a result of Chinese shareholder Qingbo Investment Co. not fulfilling its "contractual obligation to finance the operations."
Although NEVS' main owner, National Modern Energy Holdings Ltd., intends to pick up the financial slack as the company's sole backer, a lack of readily available funds has caused Saab 9-3 production to temporarily cease.
The announcement comes just under six months since new models began rolling off assembly lines at Saab's Trollhattan plant in Sweden, and there's currently no word on when work will resume. It's similarly unclear whether the brand's existing output of six cars per day will be improved upon.
It's not the first time there have been doubts about the Swedish manufacturer's future, having also halted production three years ago in April 2011, before filing for bankruptcy in December of the same year.
In a bid to boost its stock in the wake of this latest setback, NEVS has announced plans for an "extensive investment" in the Phoenix architecture "which will be the base for future car models."
The new platform's development will apparently take place "in cooperation with other global OEMs" – with one signed up to co-develop the frame and another in negotiations for part ownership.
NEVS is hopeful these new partnerships will provide the "financial and technical support" necessary to relaunch Saab as a premium brand around the world.
No surprises here. This once great marque should have been allowed to die in peace rather than in pieces.
Its a very sad & long drawn out death of a once great brand. GM didn't know what to do with it, starved it of new products worthy of the brand & then washed its hands of it. How NEVS thinks anyone is going to buy a hopeless out of date design like the 9-3 over any of its rivals is beyond me.
I really hope they succeed ...
I think a company like Tata would be an ideal parent for the Saab brand. They've done well with JLR.
I think the critical mistake was not launching a smaller car on the Astra platform to compete with the A3, 1-Series etc. If they had got the packaging and price right this might have saved the company. There was little point in the new 9-5 as by this time they were trying to compete out of their league and, realistically, there was very little market for a big Saab.
Premium compact cars have grown rapidly in popularity over the last 15 years or so and yet Saab, with a fine heritage in smaller cars, was unique in having nothing to offer. Volvo would have been floored without the S40/V50 etc. so how could Saab hope to survive with no compact car in the range?
Swedish engineering is quite innovative and forward thinking, they are capable of coming up with quirky but effective solutions. I think its time to let Saab engineers loose on a ULEV they are sure to do something special.

Places: St. Nicholas is spared, but what about its windows? But in 2001, City Council designated the church a city historic landmark. Because the diocese opposed the designation, approval required a supermajority of council, and got it.
When PennDOT was able to draft new plans that shifted the highway toward the river to save the church, everyone who had worked and hoped and prayed for its survival breathed a sigh of relief.
