Great food. Huge potions. Got all the American classics you'd expect. Friendly service. Great place for a family meal.
Everything about my meal was terrible. I was expecting better than this based on other reviews. I got takeout. I got a burger topped with pulled pork. There was no flavour whatsoever. The bun was soggy to the point it felt wet and fell apart on first bite. Sweet potato fries were also soggy. I collectes food on time as...
If you can't find something you like here you really shouldn't be dining out! So many different dishes and every one of the six that we tried was excellent, just about everything comes with a choice of variations and then various dressings, even "chocolate cake" had more choice s than I could keep up with. The waiter was a great...
A very elaborate menu. You can have it all here. Just be prepared to pay a lot. Two breakfast with eggs, sausage and home fries with toast & coffee was $30.00. Pricey but good. Friendly staff, convenient to our hotel and open 24 hours.
We recently stayed at the Best Western and they recommended getting delivery from the Belaire.
We were very happy with our meals. Food arrived quickly and was still warm. We had a variety, from hot turkey platter, to meatball grinder to turkey club along with the chicken noodle soup.
Everything was great and they knew to include lots of napkins,...
This large diner is competing with many new "hot spots" in the Astoria and Long Island City area. We enjoyed brunch chosen from the special menu and our friend ordered from the general menu. We all were satisfied. Our food was imaginative and well prepared. Service was excellent and even the coffee was better than the usual diner brew. Note...
The food is pretty good and the service is fast, but they are a little quirky in that they always mess up the order just slightly. This would usually annoy me, but I have eaten here three times and each time the mistake was a good mistake. Get the dinner special if you are going to share. It is worth...
We go here on a fairly regular basis. We came 2 years in a row for Thanksgiving with a group of people. My husband is a vegan, so they have a couple of options for him including a veggie burger.
For me i recommend, the salad platter dinner, Cobb salad with blue cheese dressing, pasta and turkey dinner.the chocolate cake...
The porgie was the whole fish, so of course there were a lot of bones. But it was a little salty. The sides were large portions of steamed spinach and lemon potatoes. Delicious.
Discovered this place while walking from my Hotel (Super 8) to the Subway Station (at Broadway). Had a lunch and two dinners there... every single meal was perfect. The staff was great as well, the place had a nice retro look and the booths were clean and comfortable. They have a huge menu, and I regret having left, not being...

Goateed Prophet Chuck Todd Thinks This 'Obama' Will Win
One of your favorite pretend secret boyfriends, NBC News "Math Fraud" Chuck Todd, thinks that — get this — the DEMOCRAT, the nominee of the party that always loses presidential elections due to horrible gayness, will win the current presidential election. Oh, "okay." He lists Florida, Indiana, Montana, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota and Ohio as the only toss-up states, and Obama can lose them all and still come out with 286 electoral votes. Do you think that Chuck Todd knows that Barack Obama is Indonesian? [First Read] Read more on Goateed Prophet Chuck Todd Thinks This 'Obama' Will Win…

text: This quiet, small "resort" was easy to find and a quick drive both into Rocky Mountain National Park one direction and into Estes Park the other direction. On our first night, there was an elk grazing for a long time in front of the hotel next door, which was a lot of fun for my daughter and me to watch! The room was very clean and spacious, and the hot tub on the deck was well-used by us. We could hear the beautiful creek and enjoyed sitting on the swinging chair next to the chimes. We were in Unit 2, which I thought was a great end unit although we could not really see the river from there. Front desk was extremely helpful and friendly. I thought the price was reasonable in light of the size of the room and the fact that it included a kitchen and a hot tub and an in-room jacuzzi, and it was so quiet and well-located.

ANC Recall Election Process
There have been some recent developments in Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 5D that merit highlighting as they impact the Trinidad neighborhood. Two of three ANC Commissioners in Trinidad are being recalled along with one Commissioner from Carver Langston. TNA cannot set forth an opinion unless there is a vote of paid members or a special meeting organized and properly noticed at least 7 days in advance to discuss the issues. While TNA cannot weigh in on merits of the allegations, there is concern that if the recalls are successful Trinidad will be lacking representation for an undetermined amount of time. Residents should be aware of the process initiated and underway as well as consider potential impact of gaps in elected leadership.
For additional information on ANC meetings, you can listen to audio of most recent meetings online. Some meetings are also on YouTube or on blogs or Twitter feeds (#ANC5D). The DC Board of Elections has detailed information on the recall process. You can view that site here for information. Specifics on the three recall petitions are briefly outlined below.
On July 10th, George "Action" Jackson, resident and candidate in the last election, filed paperwork with DCBOEE to recall ANC 5D06 Commissioner Yvonne Buggs and resident Steve Motley filed paperwork to recall ANC 5D03 Commissioner Adam Roberts. On July 16th, Darlene Miles Harrison, resident and candidate in the last election, filed paperwork to recall ANC 5D02 Commissioner Keisha Shropshire. Each Commissioner was served with a notice of intent to recall letter from DCBOEE with the petitioners' statement of reasons for the recall. The elected officials were then given opportunity to prepare a written response of 200 words.
In their August 5th meeting (agenda at nr_1739), DCBOEE reviewed all three petitions and responses. As there were no changes to the statements provided by petitioners or Commissioners, the board approved the draft petitions as final for circulation (see below for copies). DCBOEE does not investigate allegations in the notice of intent to recall; they simply verify that what was submitted to them is included in entirety on the petition to be circulated. Once approved, the petitioners were to make double side copies that have both statements affixed on page one*. They can then begin collecting signatures from 10% of the registered voters in the Single Member District (SMD). The numbers established by DCBOEE, based on registered voters at a given date just prior to the date the petitions were submitted, are 181 signatures in ANC 5D06, 166 signatures in ANC 5D03, and 160 signatures in ANC 5D02. All petitions are to be returned to DCBOEE on October 5, 2015. If all signatures are validated by DCBOEE, there will be a special election called in each SMD to vote for/against a recall of the Commissioner previously elected.
If successful in the recall election, there will not be representation at the ANC level in those SMDs until such time as another special election is held and a new candidate duly elected and sworn in. In this scenario, the seven person ANC 5D would be reduced to four with only one representative from Trinidad. That would impact Alcohol Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA) protests; work with the Bureau of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) on variances and special exceptions, including for those residents that need to seek exception; and resident input on traffic, parking, recreation, street improvements, economic development, police protection, sanitation and trash collection, and the District's annual budget. These are areas where the ANC is given weight on policies and procedures. (See http://anc.dc.gov/page/about-anc for information on the role of the ANC).
Again, the intent of this posting is to be informative and provide links for additional information but not express an opinion or discuss allegations made by petitioners. DC residents were given right to recall any elected official in 1979 with passage of the Initiative, Referendum, and Recall Procedures Act. If you have questions or concerns about this process, please contact the Office of the ANC, DCBOEE, a Councilmember, your Commissioner, or other elected official.
* A DCBOEE staff person did make those copies for 2 of the 3 petitioners in the DCBOEE offices, which may or may not be permitted by DCBOEE procedures.

Then everyone grabs him, hits him and pounds his head while the entire team jumps up and down. Then players dump some kind of liquid on top of the hero...

Best guess for the 2015 Bears offense is that head coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Adam Gase will not only establish a credible run game, but also one built around two running backs.
When Ryan Pace was brought in as Bears general manager, his first hire was head coach John Fox, noteworthy first because of his success, but also for his level of experience.
Just days after Ryan Pace completed his first NFL Draft with the Bears, the rookie general manager is making a major change in the team's scouting department.
When the Bears' turn on the draft clock came at No. 7 on Thursday night, Bears GM Ryan Pace was faced with a decision.
In his years with the New Orleans Saints personnel department, Bears general manager Ryan Pace was involved in occasional picks of wide receivers high in their respective drafts.

Deadly Decisions
The Euthanasia Debate Continues
By Father John Flynn
ROME, FEB. 6, 2007 (Zenit) - Debate over euthanasia continues in many countries. Opinions were divided for months in Italy over the case of Piergiorgio Welby, who died Dec. 20 when he was administered a sedative and his artificial respiration was turned off.
More recently, in Australia, cancer sufferer John Elliot traveled to Zurich, Switzerland, to put an end to his life with the aid of the organization Dignitas. As often happens with these cases, pro-euthanasia activists exploited the emotional appeal of a suffering and terminally ill patient to push for a so-called right to die.
Elliot was accompanied in his journey by Australian euthanasia advocate, Philip Nitschke, as well as a reporter from the Melbourne-based Age newspaper, the periodical reported Jan. 27. Nitschke openly admitted that he hoped the resulting publicity would help his long-standing campaign to allow euthanasia in Australia.
Nitschke recently published a work on how to commit suicide called "The Peaceful Pill Handbook." Federal Attorney General Philip Ruddock is appealing the decision made by the Classification Review Board to allow the book's publication in Australia, the Age reported Jan. 13.
Reacting to the news of Elliot's death, Australia's health minister, Tony Abbott, warned that legalizing euthanasia would put the elderly at risk of being "bumped off," the Age reported Jan. 29.
Abbott distinguished between the legitimate use of pain relief that could hasten death as a secondary effect, and the deliberate intention to die. "If the intention is to cause death, then that is wrong and it should continue to be wrong," said Abbott. The article noted, nevertheless, that other politicians have declared their support for allowing euthanasia.
The Swiss clinic Dignitas, where Elliot went to die, is well known for its promotion of euthanasia. The clinic's founder, Ludwig Minelli, said on a recent trip to England that he was even in favor of helping depressed people to end their lives, the London-based Times newspaper reported Sept. 21.
No limits
Furthermore, Minelli told a fringe meeting at Britain's Liberal Democrats' conference in September that "if you accept the idea of personal autonomy, you can't make conditions that only terminally ill people should have this right." According to the Times, Minelli spoke to the group at the invitation of Chris Davies, a Liberal Democrat and member of the European Parliament, who is campaigning to change British law.
According to a July 3 report by Reuters, Dignitas had by then facilitated the deaths of 573 persons since its foundation in 1998.
Last year the Swiss government rejected the idea of tightening the law on assisted suicide after concern was expressed about the country's growing reputation as a haven for "death tourism."
Justice Minister Christoph Blocher said the Cabinet had decided that no new legislation was required, reported the Swissinfo agency May 31.
Shortly after the decision, three bishops from Germany, France and Switzerland issued a joint pastoral letter speaking out against assisted suicide. Archbishop Robert Zollitsch of Freiberg, retired Archbishop Joseph Dor� of Strasbourg, and Bishop Kurt Koch of Basel, said that all were obliged to respect the sanctity of human life and the rights of the chronically ill and dying, reported the German agency Deutsche Welle on July 4.
At a press conference, Archbishop Zollitsch said that "at present, sick, suffering and dying people are seen as a burden to be disposed of."
Concerns more urgent than ever, after the decision by Switzerland's highest court to allow assisted suicide for people with mental illnesses. The Federal Tribunal handed down a ruling regarding the case of a 53-year-old man with bipolar disorder, who asked for help in committing suicide, the Associated Press reported last Friday.
The court ruled against his petition, asking for a more complete medical study. It did, however, state that in the case of incurable, serious disorders a mentally ill person could receive help to commit suicide.
Further worries also came after Soraya Wernli, a former assistant to Minelli, accused the organization Dignitas of being overly hasty in helping people die. The charges came in an article published in the Australian newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald, last Saturday.
In 2005, Wernli, a nurse who worked for Minelli during three years, and her husband Kurt, a director of Dignitas, left the organization, due to concerns over its work. Often, she explained, there was undue haste in the process of accepting people's request for help in committing suicide. As well, not all of the people had terminal illnesses. Wernli said that some of those helped to die were suffering from ...

Rachmaninov Piano Concerto Cycle: Trifonov
Thursday 15 Oct 2015, 7.30pm
Royal Festival Hall, London
Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninov (1 April 1873 – 28 March 1943) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor. Rachmaninov is widely considered one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, one of the last great representatives of Romanticism in Russian classical music.
Early influences of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and other Russian composers gave way to a thoroughly personal idiom that included a pronounced lyricism, expressive breadth, structural ingenuity, and a tonal palette of rich, distinctive orchestral colors. The piano is featured prominently in Rachmaninov's compositional output. He made a point of using his own skills as a performer to explore fully the expressive possibilities of the instrument. Even in his earliest works he revealed a sure grasp of idiomatic piano writing and a striking gift for melody.

Tech News & Commentary
Microsoft's (MSFT) gamble on Windows 8 to boost demand for new personal computers so far has been a bust, judging from the dismal first-quarter PC shipment reports out late Wednesday.
Research firm IDC said Windows 8 is likely turning off consumers with its off-putting new user interface and added costs associated with touch-screen displays. IDC said Q1 PC shipments fell 13.9% worldwide from a year ago and follows a 6.4% drop in Q4. The Q1 decline was the steepest IDC has ever recorded since it started tracking quarterly PC shipments in 1994.
Microsoft launched Windows 8 with much fanfare on Oct. 26, but consumers are more interested in buying tablets and smartphones than new PCs.

Goldman Sachs analyst Heather Bellini cut her rating on Microsoft to sell from neutral on Thursday. She lowered her estimates and rating "to reflect worsening PC trends and a lack of traction in tablets and smartphones."
She wrote in a research note, "The company faces critical secular challenges, given the deteriorating PC demand backdrop."
While Microsoft is positioned poorly for the consumer market, its enterprise-focused business is holding up well, she says.
Late Wednesday, BGC Partners analyst Colin Gillis cut his rating on Microsoft to hold from buy. The enterprise PC refresh cycle is past its peak, with over 60% of enterprise desktops worldwide running Windows 7, he says. Plus, he is "increasingly concerned about turmoil in the PC industry," with Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Dell (DELL) going through restructuring.
Microsoft shares were down 4.5%, near 28.90, in the stock market today. PC vendors Hewlett-Packard and Dell were down 5.3% and 0.4%, respectively. PC chipmaker Intel (INTC) was down 2.4%.

Nikon Coolpix S2 digital camera
Stylish digicam sealed against the elements with good resolution and folded optic 3x optical zoom lens.
Small controls make handling a tad fiddly with some image quality issues.
Svelte, stylishly cool digicams are all the rage at the moment with Sony and now Nikon following the trend-setting Konica Minolta X-series models with a slim, upright style camera featuring periscope-like, folded optic lens technology.
But the S2 adds a new level of cool to its multi-coloured brother the S1, in that it comes in what Nikon describes as an 'All Weather' weatherproofed, full metal jacket. While it's unlikely the camera would cope with a complete dunking, it's more than able to hold off a summer shower or a dowsing on a wet ride at a theme park.
The metal body features an exceptionally shiny slide-away cover that also acts as the on/off control revealing the lens and small, built-in flash. The very shiny surface looks nice but if you're anything like me, you'll quickly find yourself obsessed with cleaning off the many fingerprints that quickly mar its surface.
Specification of note includes sensitivity from ISO 50 to ISO 400, shutter speeds range from 8 to 1/2000th second and you get 15-scene modes into the bargain including the ubiquitous portrait, landscape and night scene modes. The large, 2.5-inch colour screen is excellent to use in all but the brightest conditions but the lack of an optical viewfinder is necessitated as the screen uses up nearly all the camera back-plate real estate, making the camera's control and handling decidedly fiddly.
The 3x zoom lens has a 35-105mm focal range with a modest F/3.0 maximum aperture, and it is this that hails the start of my few grumbles.
The lens suffers from marked barrel distortion and the restrictive maximum aperture makes camera shake an issue in lower lighting conditions or at full zoom, where the effective maximum aperture of F/5.4 becomes an issue for steady shots.
The only other issues are fringing in high contrast parts of a scene and a drop in image sharpness at the edges, presumably the latter an issue related to the lens design and that barrel distortion. However, exposures are generally very good while colour is excellent, even a bit OTT in some shots, providing the type of colour that really leaps off the screen or photo print.
Given my grumbles you'd be forgiven for thinking I don't like this camera, not so. It's a gem, if a little flawed around the edges. Anyone making standard sized prints from its images will be more than happy with its results and it is so nice to look at you'll be hard pressed not to flaunt it wherever you go, just be careful you don't wear it out by over-polishing that shiny face plate.

Kara Lynn (thinking): My Master . . . Even asleep, you're so bright and so warm. I wonder what you're dreaming about.
Kara Lynn (thinking): My Master . . . Even asleep, you're so bright and so warm. I wonder what you're dreaming about.
"So Bright and so warm" — no wonder the Lizard is always sleeping on her. ;)
Echoing almost exactly the way Patrick described humans, I see. My heart aches for Beings, in their current state. They love humans so much, and yet the humans in their lives use them at best, and at worst go all Nazi Science and try to kill them. Well done, Erin, in building a world that breaks my heart so well
I see the possibility of tool WANTING to be used never crossed your mind. I mean, they are many reasons why your heart can ache for beings (starting with masters like Ann and Cohen) but you'll probably HURT being by NOT using him. Also, we already saw you hurt him by not doing battles.
Yeah, they're pretty much house-elves. Taking orders and pleasing their Masters is kind of the pinnacle of life to them.
Dammit. Such a sweet moment. I'm certain something bad's going to happen to her now. :(

The Borda count and agenda manipulation
A standard objection to the Borda count, as an actual voting procedure, is that it is subject to agenda manipulation. The classical example is the introduction, in order to favour a candidate or option y, of a new option z ranked on every voter's preference scale immediately below y; y may as a result obtain the highest Borda count, although, if z had not been introduced, a different option would have done so. Strategic use of this device is not greatly to be feared, but it does point to a defect in the system: equating the distance on each voter's preference scale between any option and the next imposes a penalty for dissimilarity. The corrective is to vary the distances by introducing a measure of dissimilarity, as perceived by the voters and revealed by their preference scales. Two possible ways of doing this are described, yielding revised and adjusted Borda scores. It is shown by examples that these will often, but not always, undo the `agenda manipulation' effect, and questioned whether it is desirable to undo it altogether.

Growing up here 50yrs ago some of my favorite times were spent at the Jr Museum. It is where I first learned about the environment, our place in it, and our responsibilities to it. And it was so much fun! A few years ago I finally had the throw away a wonderful model of an Oriole I won at the Jr Museum when its wings fell off; that's how good the memories were! I'm so glad to see that it continues it's fine work and has wonderful plans for the future. This is how the world changes for the better. Bravo!

"You have to be professional about it, as much as you want to run over there and scream at them," he said. "Sometimes you need to talk to the parent just as much as the child."
I actually think screaming would not be out of order! Kudos to the wonderful, patient, staff.
