WASHINGTON – A Navy helicopter with a crew of five went down in the Atlantic Ocean off the Virginia coast on Wednesday.
Navy officials say that one crew member is missing and four others were rescued from the 42-degree waters. One of the crew died hours after being pulled from the water 20 miles offshore.
The Navy says a second crewmember has also died.
The two other surviving crewmembers remained hospitalized in Norfolk Wednesday evening.
None of the crew has been identified. The Navy said the identity of the dead crew member would be released 24 hours after their family was notified.
Two other members of the crew were in stable condition Wednesday afternoon; the other was to have surgery, the Navy said.
"Today has definitely been a tough day on all of us," Capt. Todd Flannery, the commander of Helicopter Sea Combat Wing Atlantic, said at a news conference. "Our heartfelt prayers go out to the families and loved ones of those killed and injured in today's crash."
The chopper was conducting a routine training operation when the crash occurred. The cause was not immediately known.
According to a statement from the office of the commander of Naval Air Force Atlantic, the MH-53E Sea Dragon chopper is assigned to Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14, based at Naval Station Norfolk Chambers Field.
Navy officials say that at about 10:45 a.m. a distress call came from the helicopter and it crashed within the next few minutes. They also say a second MH-53 chopper on the training mission was the first to respond and was joined within minutes by a Coast Guard rescue team.
The Coast Guard cutter Shearwater and two MH-60S helicopters from Helicopter Sea Combat Support Squadron 28 are conducting the search and rescue.
According to the Naval Air Systems Command website, the aircraft performs airborne mine countermeasures and onboard delivery missions. It holds a crew of up to eight, including two pilots, and is capable of speeds over 170 mph.
The helicopter measures 99 feet long and more than 28 feet tall. It weighs 69,750 pounds.
Tuesday evening in England, a U.S. Air Force helicopter crashed into the eastern coast during a training mission and killed the four crewmembers. U.K. authorities continued their investigation Wednesday.
In July 2012, two crew members were killed when the same model helicopter crashed into a canyon in the Gulf nation of Oman while lifting a downed aircraft.
According to a Navy investigation obtained by The Virginian-Pilot in November, the crash of the $50 million helicopter revealed a series of problems within the Navy Sea Dragon program, which is headquartered in Norfolk. In that specific incident, the report blamed the crew for skipping preflight safety checks and for failing to develop a concrete plan for how and when to abort the mission.
But Capt. Todd Flannery, the commander of Helicopter Sea Combat Wing Atlantic, told the newspaper following the investigation that the Navy has invested millions of dollars to upgrade and better maintain its remaining 29 Sea Dragon airframes since the crash, including adding more than 100 maintenance personnel to the Norfolk-based squadrons.
The Navy had planned to phase them out beginning in the mid-2000s, but kept the Sea Dragons flying because the service had no viable replacement.
At the news conference Wednesday, Flannery said he doesn't have any concerns about the safety of the aircraft.

You should skip to the final track on Odd Future's The OF Tape Vol. 2 to reach the project's climax. That moment, of course, is Earl Sweatshirt's rhyming return to the collective Odd Future fold on "Oldie," he cracks the hazy, hypnotic beat shortly after the seven minute mark, and blesses it with a subdued but intelligent performance. Lately, the hullabaloo about Earl's return has dwarfed the Odd Future hype machine, and Earl's shadow has cast doubt on the appeal of Tyler, the Creator's tykes now that their persona of menace has been blunted. The OF Tape Vol. 2 fails to help their cause: Without constantly conjuring up an air of controversy about their moves, Odd Future can sound decidedly dull.
The 17 tracks that precede "Oldie" are a hodgepodge of styles and line-ups; they're random in an ineffective way, with crew members seemingly shoe-horned together and the songs rolled out with little thought as to how the mixtape-slash-album plays as a whole. (The segue between Hodgy Beats and Tyler's industrial and abrasive "P" into Frank Ocean's largely a cappella "Snow White" is either ill-judged or simply annoying.) When Odd Future were first picked up by the mainstream, this sort of thing wasn't a problem. By positioning and promoting themselves as public and industry menaces they ensured that the focus was on the shenanigans and the back stories, not the music. But now they've settled into their role in the pop culture firmament (they have an Adult Swim show!) that aura of excitement has been extinguished, leaving their music bare and too often lackluster and flaccid.
Earl's verse on "Oldie" has rightly caught the headlines, but there's a nugget in Tyler's rap on the same song that's more telling of Odd Future's current plight. He sounds sincere when he raps, "This is for the niggas in the suburbs/ And the white kids with nigga friends that say the n-word/ And the ones who got called weird, fag, bitch, nerd/ 'Cause you was into jazz, kitty cats, and Steven Spielberg." But just like Odd Future themselves, there's little weird or outsider about Tyler's demographical characters. Odd Future have mined the online hype machine quite excellently to get to this point in their career - now they need to concentrate on proving their musical worth the old-fashioned way.

Ice Cream Cake
*2 - 1/2 gallons of ice cream, slightly softened.
*(1/2 gallon each, of your 2 favorite flavors!)
1 jar of fudge topping . . . or butterscotch, or strawberry?
1 package Oreo cookies
Crush twenty Oreos in the bottom of a spring form pan.
Spread one flavor of ice cream over cookies, press down into cookies slightly.
Pour fudge topping over ice cream. (topping may need to be softened in microwave, but be careful not to let it get too hot.)
Spread second flavor of ice cream over fudge.
Sprinkle with more cookie crumbs, cover and freeze overnight.
Helpful hints - have FUN!
Mix and match flavors of ice cream and fillings for family-favorite combinations.
Add nuts to the fudge layer, or more of the cookie crumbs!
Depending on size of pan, you may have to adjust ingredients. A 9 or 10 inch pan can accommodate all the ice cream, but may need more cookies. An 8 inch pan will leave you with a little extra ice cream to taste test!
Don't try to take off the sides of the pan before ice cream has completely firmed up.

The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau, and get ready for the Seafood Expo North America(SENA), which is returning to Boston from March 16-18. I'll definitely be there, my fifth year of attendance, but will you?
been on a decline, and annual consumption is significantly lower than the USDA recommendations. This is despite the fact that eating seafood twice a week reduces the chances of dying from heart disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S., by 36%. There is a mountain of scientific evidence supporting that health statistic so why aren't Americans paying attention? It is imperative that Americans eat more seafood and dining atFish Restaurant & Wine Barmay help motivate you.
Raiders Of The Lost Ark was a major hit, becoming the highest grossing film in the U.S. in 1981. I remember seeing this movie in the theater, and felt transported as the adventure progressed upon the great screen. The film evoked a sense of wonder, presenting a story of exploration and discovery, an adventure that traveled to exotic, foreign lands. It presented a mystery, which led to research into ancient traditions and cultures. There were negative forces that wanted to assert a monolithic thinking upon the world, to crush any desire for diversity.
I feel like a vinous Indiana Jones.
In a recent rant, Robert Parker lashed out against those who enjoy, promote and advocate for more esoteric grapes. He referred to them as "...some godforsaken grapes that, in hundreds and hundreds of years of viticulture, wine consumption, etc., have never gotten traction because they are rarely of interest.." He continued to say that such wines are "...in truth, rarely palatable unless lost in a larger blend..." I think Parker has lost that sense of wonder about wine.
To me, a large part of wine is exploration and discovery, the adventure of seeking out the vast diversity in wine, including many hundreds of different grapes. That exploration has taken me to wine regions all over the world, and back thousands of years in history, seeking the origins of rare grapes. It is the mystery of these esoteric grapes which beckon to my soul, which cry out for tasting and investigation. Like Indiana Jones, I am off on a vinous adventure, resisting the negative forces trying to impose their narrow minded thinking upon the world.
I have long been a champion and advocate of more esoteric wines, grapes and regions. I like supporting the underdog. However, I only support those wines which I feel are worthy. I don't just support a wine or grape because it is obscure. It must be delicious and compelling, interesting and palate pleasing. And unlike Parker, I have found many excellent wines produced from more esoteric grapes. For example, this past weekend, I tasted intriguing wines made from grapes like Mtsvane, Krakhuna and Saperavi. Such wines have earned my support.
None of that means I ignore the classics, such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. I have immense respect for them, though we all know there is plenty of rather uninspiring wine made from these grapes too. During this past weekend, I thoroughly enjoyed some exceptional wines from Burgundy, both white and red. One can enjoy both classics and the esoteric. One doesn't have to choose one over the other.
There are calls for diversity in all aspects of our society now and the wine world should be no different. We want to see more women and people of color involved in the actual wine industry, as winemakers, winery owners, sommeliers, and more. We should also seek more diversity in the wines we drink. Enjoy Chardonnay, but also understand the wonders of Godello, Arinto and Rkatsiteli. Embrace Cabernet Sauvignon but don't ignore Mencia, Touriga Franca and Caladoc.
Not every wine seeks to attain the lofty heights of Romanée-Conti. Some just want to provide a compelling and tasty wine that delivers on its price. Esoteric grapes can produce plenty of wines exactly like that. And we may never know the potential heights they can reach unless there is more experimentation with such grapes. A hidden gem might be hiding in a remote vineyard, a grape that has almost been forgotten but with vast potential. It is the folly to think we know everything about wine and which grapes make the best wine.
For me, I want to continue on the path of Indiana Jones, exploring everything that the world of wine has to offer.

In the late 19th century, the phrase "banned in Boston" started to take hold, usually referring to movies, books and plays that got banned because they were thought to be immoral, salacious or offensive. It use continued into the 20th century and now in the 21st century, another would-be exhibitor has been banned in Boston, because they were found to be offensive to the organizers of a large-scale wine event.
This weekend, the Boston Wine Expo comes to town and thousands of consumers will descend on the Seaport World Trade Center, taking the opportunity to sample from more than a thousand wines or attend one of the more than 40 seminars. Besides all of the wine tables, there will be exhibitors showcasing food, magazines, financial services, travel and more. However, though they wanted to exhibit, you won't find the American Wine Consumer's Coalition(AWCC) at this year's Expo. They were "banned in Boston."
This banning recently came to light in the Wine Industry Insight, in the articleBoston Wine Expo Bans Direct-To-Consumer Exhibitors by Lewis Perdue. Mr. Perdue was informed by Tom Wark, Executive Director of the AWCC, that they had tried to obtain a booth at the Expo but were denied because of their support of direct wine shipping in Massachusetts. As I mentioned previously, a law which barred out of state winery shipments to Massachusetts consumers was ruled unconstitutional. Since that ruling, there have been several efforts to create a legal framework allowing such winery shipments, though nothing has yet succeeded.
Most recently, the proposed legal framework is House Bill 294, authored by Representative Theodore Speliotis.A public hearing, with much positive support, was heard on this bill in November 2013 but it is currently in limbo, awaiting a vote. Free The Grapes is pushing for such a vote and you can check out how to help in that regard. The AWCC has been supportive of this bill, and wanted to use the opportunity of the Boston Wine Expo to explain to the consumer attendees about the importance of the bill and why they should support Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) sales.
Mr. Perdue followed up with James Carmody, the President of the Boston Guild of Oenophilists, which organizes and operates the Boston Wine Expo, to discuss the banning of the AWCC. Mr. Carmody stated that wholesalers and distributors have been the "foundation of the show." Thus, there business interests are important to the Expo. Mr. Carmody also noted that the Board has decided not to allow direct shippers to exhibit, and this also apparently now extends to any organization which promotes the idea of DTC sales.
In some respects, this is surprising as Free The Grapeshas been an exhibitor in prior years, including last year, and they have long promoted DTC sales. So it appears that a blanket prohibition on exhibitors promoting DTC sales is something new this year. Why is this year different? Free The Grapes has stated that they didn't plan on attending the Expo this year. If they had tried to become an exhibitor this year, would they have been refused too? The Expo website does not provide any rules or restrictions as to who can exhibit at the Expo, so would-be exhibitors have little information as to what is potentially prohibited.
In other respects, this is not surprising. Last year, I met James Carmody at a Expopreview eventand he summed up, with much candor, the primary purpose of the Expo: commerce. It is primarily about wineries finding local distributors, distributors finding retailers and restaurants, and wineries trying to raise their brand recognition with consumer. Nearly everyone showcasing their products at the Expo is seeking to make money, to expand their business. On the Expo website, under "Why Exhibit," it states: "The Show has been transformed into a major "selling event" for wineries with distribution in Massachusetts." That seems to make the focus of the Expo more clear.
Besides this emphasis on business, the Expo is also a consumer event, at least in part. As their website states, "The Boston Wine Expo is the largest trade and consumer wine event in the country." However, it needs to be understood that the business needs and desires of the Expo generally take precedence over consumer issues, and definitely on the DTC sales issue. Wholesalers and distributors are the primary opposition to House Bill 294, believing it threatens their profits. As they are integral to the prosperity of the Expo, the Board does not want to alienate them by allowing exhibitors to promote DTC sales.
The Boston Guild Of Oenophilists Inc. is organized as a Domestic Profit Corporation, though they have also contributed over $1 Million to numerous charities. The corporation has a President, Treasurer, Secretary, CEO, CFO and 16 Directors. Some of those Directors work for wholesalers and distributors, so it is understandable why they would be opposed to DTC sales. This concern about DTC sales, leading to a ban this year on those supporting such sales, may have arisen because of the looming presence ofHouse Bill 294. It may be seen as an imminent threat, and the wholesalers and distributors do not want anyone promoting that bill at the Expo.
Interestingly, Free the Grapes notes that "...a December 2012 report by the Maryland Comptroller noted that wholesale-to-retail sales actually increased 3.6% the year following implementation of direct shipping in that state." This seems to indicate that the fears of Massachusetts wholesalers and distributors is largely unfounded. Proponents of DTC sales, such as the AWCC, have also provided many convincing arguments in support of DTC sales. The arguments against DTC sales have been far weaker and less convincing. At the base, it is primarily about fear, fear of lost profits.
When you delve back into the origins of the Boston Wine Expo, the seeds of its inspiration actually supported "direct access to the wines' producers." The founder, François-Laurent Nivaud, found the basis for his idea for the Boston Wine Expo in the French wine shows, Le Concours, and those French shows actually wanted people to have direct access to the producers. Currently, Le Concours has a web-based sales channelfor online sales of its wines. Why can't the Boston Wine Expo emulate these aspects as well, supporting DTC sales?
It is inevitable that DTC sales will come to Massachusetts. It is only a matter of time, and with House Bill 294, it could be here sooner than later. There is a growing surge across the entire country supporting DTC sales and wholesalers and distributors are trying to hold back a tidal wave with paper walls. Rather than fear it, wholesalers and distributors need to learn how to co-exist with it. The presence of Free The Grapes at prior Expos did not cause any harm, so why start now to ban organizations like AWCC from promoting the cause of DTC sales? Will such a prohibition really stop DTC sales from coming to Massachusetts. Extremely doubtful.
The Boston Wine Expo has prided itself on change, trying to make the event better and more relevant each year. For example, within the last couple years, the Expo has embraced social media and blogging, which has been a positive addition. However, banning promoters of DTC sales is a step backwards. It is a denial of the inevitable future of wine sales. It does a disservice to the consumers attending the event. And it needs to change.
Mohegan Sun WineFestand the Boston Wine Expo. This is an excellent opportunity to explore new wines, to taste new vintages, and find new favorites. I recently attended the Sun WineFest and will go to the Wine Expo later this month. Because of their proximity of distance and time, and the nature of the events, it is natural to draw some comparisons between the two events. In short, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and which event you desire to attend is probably more a matter of preference.

Aglio e Olio – Late-night pasta party
$8.00 per person
Aglio e Olio is a Rome-inspired, family-style nightcap of spaghetti with garlic and oil (or aglio e olio for those from lo stivale) for the night owl set. Guests are welcomed to wind down, sip vino and slurp noodles every night from 10:00 PM until closing time because really, a heaping bowl of pasta is way better than a full night's sleep.
Spare Parts – Ensuring nothing goes to waste
Plates served a la carte. Menu changes daily
Since his appointment as Executive Chef this fall, Andrew Bonner has brought some spirited spontaneity to the Belly menu, showcased through the ever-changing "Spare Parts" menu. Written on a chalk board in the dining room, the daily specials exemplifyExecutive Chef Andrew Bonner's passion for expanding guests' palates and experimenting with seasonal New England flavors, as seen in dishes like Sweet and Spicy Duck Wings, Open Faced Grass Fed Beef Pastrami with Sauce Whatever and Oxtail Ravioli with Maitake Mushrooms & Carrots.
Three Blind Wines – Grape trivia for the taste buds
$20 per flight
Every Monday night
Belly puts wine geeks to the test every Monday with Three Blind Wines, a mystery flight game comprised of three unknown grapes. Guests are challenged by the Belly team to guess the names of all three sips; if successful, the following week's flight is on the house!
Coravin Pours – No need for vintages to collect dust
Approximately $20 to $38 per 5 oz. pour
Available daily
As card carrying Kendall Square wine nerds, the Belly team sends serious props to Greg Lambrecht, the Boston-based entrepreneur who engineered the Coravin wine opener, a way to drink vino without removing the cork, hence avoiding oxidization and keeping bottles as fresh as the first pour right until the last drop. Madonna! Belly employs a Coravin of its own to serve experimental guests rare pours without sacrificing taste or quality. A library of grapes available via Coravin includes magnums of 2004 Chateau Pibernon Bandol, 1993 Breton Bourgueil "Les Perrieres" and more, all served tableside from Coravin to taste tube and ultimately into the eager sipper's glass.
Oregon which produce sparkling wine, partially due to the higher costs involved in the process. Maybe the most famous producer of sparkling wine in Oregon is Argyle Winery, and on a previous visit to Portland I got to taste a few of their wines and meet their winemaker, Rollin Soles. Recently, I received a sample of their 2010 Brut Rosé, and it didn't disappoint in the least.
What is the #1 condiment, based on annual sales, in the country? The answer depends in part on what you consider as a condiment. Some people consider salsa as a condiment while others see it more as a dip. Ketchup is a popular condiment but some news sources have recently noted that salsa has become more popular than ketchup, though I think far more people use salsa as a dip rather than slathering it atop a sandwich or burger.
However, whether you consider salsa as a condiment or not, the #1 condiment isa ctuallymayonnaise. In 2013, mayonnaise sales reached $2 Billion while ketchup sales were only $725 Million. Salsa sales are higher than ketchup, but not by much, so mayonnaise still beats salsa too.
Despite its huge popularity, mayonnaise has its detractors, including myself. Mayo haters unite! There is even an anti-mayo site, Hold That Mayo.I dislike the consistency, the taste and even the look. I don't think it adds anything to a sandwich. There are other ways to add some moistness to a sandwich. Or maybe you shouldn't be eating meat that is so dry you need mayo. Mayo usually contains lots of fat and commercial mayos can contain high fructose corn syrup. Do you really need to add all that fat and sugar to your sandwich?
At some restaurants, mayo seems to be a common ingredient on many of their sandwiches, from burgers to fish. And it is not always listed as an ingredient on the menu. I hate ordering a sandwich, which doesn't state it has mayo on the menu, and then getting it delivered to me with mayo atop it. If it has mayo, the menu should say so. And a juicy burger should never need mayo.
If you like mayo, why? What does it add to a sandwich? Do you really think mayo helps a juicy burger? With these huge sales for mayo, what am I missing?
Or if you also hate mayo, step forward and be heard. Let us tell restaurants to put that ingredient on their menus when they add it to a dish. No more surprises on our sandwiches.

3) Executive Chef/Owner Paul Turano of Tryst Restaurant in Arlington, MA (and the soon to open "Cook" restaurant in Newton), has been nominated by Governor Deval Patrick to represent the state of Massachusetts at the Great American Seafood Cook-Off in New Orleans, Louisiana on August 3. The Great American Seafood Cook-Off is one of the nation's most prestigious seafood competitions showcasing domestic, sustainable seafood featuring acclaimed chefs from across the country. Chefs are asked to create unique dishes and flavor combinations with domestic seafood that is native to their home states and representative of their region. Hosted in New Orleans, Louisiana, one of the most renowned cities for all things gourmet, the event is sponsored by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and presented by the Louisiana Seafood Promotion & Marketing Board.
"It's such an honor to represent Massachusetts in this competition," said Chef Paul Turano. This will be the first time Massachusetts is represented at the Great American Seafood Cook-Off. The Great American Seafood Cook-Off takes place at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, in Hall J, alongside the Louisiana Restaurant Association Food Service Expo on August 3.
4)On Sunday, July 28, at 6pm, Chef Paul Turano of Tryst Restaurant in Arlington is collaborating with New England's very own root beer company, Tower Root Beer, for the third annual Root Beer Dinner, celebrating Tower's 99-year-old classic soda recipe.
Founded in Somerville, MA, in 1914, Tower Root Beer evolved from a tonic company into a specialized root beer company. During the Prohibition of the 1920's when root beer became the substitute for beer that was no longer available, their pharmacist- perfected recipe contributed to Tower's early success and allowed them to withstand the stock market crash of 1929, even when the bank that held their working capital could not. Spanning New England, Tower Root Beer grew into a well-known business before an unsuccessful merger and competition from the two major soda conglomerates forced them off the market. For the past 30 years, Tower's recipe has sat under lock and key, before a third generation of the family decided to reestablish the family business after finding their grandfather's handwritten recipe.
Tryst Restaurant is celebrating the return of the timeless drink with a classic three course, $34 prix fixe dinner ($14 for optional cocktail pairing) by Chef Paul Turano featuring root beer inspired dishes and innovative cocktails inspired by the sweet treat. Reservations are required and can be made by calling Tryst at 781-641-2227.
And here is a special Recipe from Chef Turano for Root Beer Braised Short Ribs
3 lbs Boneless Beef Short Ribs (about 1 1/2" thick with good marbling)
1 ea yellow onion, rough chopped
1 ea carrot, rough chopped
2 ea celery stalks, rough chopped
3 ea garlic cloves, rough chopped
3 Tbls tomato paste
4 ea fresh thyme sprigs
1 ea bay leaf
½ bottle dark beer
½ bottle Tower Root Beer
3 cups chicken stock
3 Tbls balsamic vinegar
flour, as needed
salt and pepper
canola oil, as needed
Season short ribs with salt and pepper, dredge in the flour, bang to remove excess flour. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat, add a little canola oil and cook the ribs in batches (Do Not Overcrowd the Pan!) Brown the ribs on all sides, taking care not to burn the flour. Remove ribs and place in an oven proof casserole about six inches deep. Sear remaining ribs.
Wipe out excess oil from the sauté pan. Add the onion, carrot and celery, season with salt and pepper and continue to cook until light brown. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the tomato paste and cook an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring often. Add the beer, root beer and bring to a boil for two minutes. Pour into the casserole over the ribs. Add the aromatics and chicken stock. Cover the casserole with lid or aluminum foil. Place in 300˚ oven. Half way through cooking, flip the ribs in the liquid to ensure even cooking. Cook approximately two and a half hours, until the short ribs are tender, but not falling apart.
Remove the meat from the casserole, strain the liquid through a sieve, skim excess fat and return to casserole or a stove top safe pan. Reduce the liquid until the desired consistency. Return ribs to the liquid to slowly reheat. Serves 4-6 people.
5) On July 31-August 25, Rosa Mexicano will launch their annual Ice Cream Festival, featuring a dedicated menu of sweet and salty ice cream flavors, Paleta popsicles, dessert guacamole, ice cream-stuffed churros and more.
Part of their ongoing Flavors of Mexico series, the beloved festival will introduce specials including but not limited to:
· Guacamole de Postre: a decadent sundae of sweet avocado ice cream "guacamole," prepared tableside with fresh raspberries, white chocolate shavings & coconut crunch; served with piloncillo chocolate sauce and cinnamon sugar Buñuelos
· "Paleta" Popsicles: in flavors such as Guava, Chile & Huckleberry; and Papaya & Passionfruit
· Ice Cream Stuffed Churros: a twist on the traditional "deep fried ice cream," three churro fritters filled with various ice cream flavors such as malted coffee and plantain & peanut butter; served with chocolate fudge ganache
· Ice Cream Cones: highlights include Plantain & Peanut Butter; Strawberry Rose; Sweet Cream, Mexican Chocolate & Cajeta Swirl; and Mexican Sour Gherkin & Jalapeño Sorbet
6) Bringing a taste of the North End to the Greenway, Carla and Christine Pallotta havenowopened the doors to the relocated NEBO at 520 Atlantic Avenue. The new 180-seat restaurant, with a 65-seat patio on the edge of the Greenway with 180-degree views of the Financial District, is now open for dinner service, and will add lunch in the next few weeks, followed by a takeout program specializing in Italian sandwiches, baked goods, and pastries.
"After eight years at the original NEBO, our hearts – and our parking spaces – will always be in the North End," say sisters, chefs, and co-owners Carla and Christine Pallotta. "Though we're not technically located in the neighborhood any more, we're still close enough to do our morning shopping. Instead of 'North End Boston,' NEBO now means 'North End brought over' to the Greenway."
In addition to the pizzas, handmade pastas, and antipasti for which NEBO is famous for, the new NEBO menu will offer even more traditional Italian dishes that the original, smaller NEBO kitchen wasn't equipped to execute. These new dishes include about 10 new pizzas and summer entrees that focus on seafood and vegetables such as Branzino, Squid Ink Pasta with Salt Cod Confit, and Cioppino with Lobster, Shrimp, Calamari, Mussels and Smelts in a Spicy Tomato Brodo with Crostini.
NEBO has floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides of the building, a vaulted brick ceiling, and an open layout that includes: a 60-person bar area with two communal tables, an Italian marble bar, and 12-seat drink rail; a 120-person dining room with banquettes, coffee-stained rift oak tables, and chocolate brown Herman Miller bucket chairs interspersed with refinished Thonet chairs from the old NEBO; and a semi-private dining room with an Italian alabaster chandelier. The state-of-the-art open kitchen with adjoining gelato and sandwich bar is the "dream kitchen" Christine imagined eight years ago when she crafted the business plan for NEBO's original North End location. During the warmer months, NEBO's outdoor patio on the edge of the Greenway includes custom furniture designed to match the original cast iron work of Atlantic Wharf, nutmeg umbrellas, and Winston Flowers arrangements.
NEBO is now open for dinner Monday through Saturday beginning at 5:00 PM. Lunch service begins late July; takeout by September. NEBO is closed on Sundays.
I am a huge fan of NEBO so I am very excited to check out their new location, and I think it is great that they will soon be open for lunch too. This is definitely a restaurant I strongly encourage my readers to check out.

TQL relocates Chicago office, plans to add staff
October 18, 2011
Freight broker and third-party logistics (3PL) services provider Total Quality Logistics (TQL) said this week it has relocated its Chicago office to the West Loop area of the city.
A company spokesperson told LM that this move was made, because TQL was at capacity in its previous location and needed a bigger space for additional employees, adding that TQL had been planning to make this move since earlier in the year.
TQL first set up shop in Chicago on February 2009 and since that time has grown the office from six employees to 56. TQL has operations in 8 states and more than 1,500 employees. And it added that it would like to take on another 78 Chicago-based employees by the end of 2012.
"TQL Chicago has experienced more than 100% growth since we opened our doors in February 2009. To accommodate a larger team we have identified a larger facility to house not only our current employees, but future team members as well. The new office provides us the ability to grow our Chicago sales team over the next several years," said Kerry Byrne, TQL Executive Vice President, in a statement.
In late September, TQL opened a new satellite office in Dayton, Ohio. Byrne told LM that since the beginning of 2009, the company has opened 10 offices across the US with plans to add more in 2012.
In working with more than 7,000 customers and nearly 60,000 carriers, Byrne said that the closer TQL can get to its customers, the more it can learn about their needs and provide them with more value.
"The same holds true for the carriers with whom we work," he said. "Shippers all across the U.S. see value in the service that our logistics account executives provide, whether they are in Denver, Tampa or Dayton."

Sorry for the lack of 45's during the last few weeks; I was out on tour and simply didn't have time!
Today's entry is downright ridiculous, but also happens to be one of the most spot-on John Lennon/ Beatles spoofs that it fooled fans for years.
This song appeared on many 1970's Beatles bootleg LP's as a "long lost track" and my oh my does it ever sound like "Magical Mystery Tour" era John Lennon (perhaps if he had completely forgotten how to write a song?). I really do dig it though, and it took me a LONG time to find the original 45 (the Beatle boot LP's that I have it on all have a badly botched edited version, and a pirate 45 that I found about 8 years ago is pressed off center). Hell, even Yoko Ono applied for a copyright for the song when she discovered it among Lennon's possesions! John was a Beatles collector himself in his later years, and I'm sure he got a kick out of this track being thought of as his own. In fact, when John guest DJ'ed on KHJ Los Angeles in 1974, one of the bootleggers himself (John Wizardo) called in and asked John if it was him on 'Have You Heard The Word'. At first JL was thrown for a loop and mentioned (Beatles) track 'The Word', but then realized that he heard it on a bootleg and said it was a great imitation.
The real story is as that in 1969 Bee Gee Barry Gibb signed a duo known as Tin Tin (Steve Kipner and Steve Groves) to his production company. Their first session together was for their original track 'Have You Heard The Word?" In celebration, Gibb brought in a bottle of Johnny Walker and the boys got too blitzed to be serious, resulting in the vocals we hear here that were added to the backing track recorded pre-inebriation. All intended to ape the fab four, down to the hilarious spoken tag (stick with it til the end, it's worth it). The track was not intended for release, but made it out on a single in the UK in 1970. Word traveled fast that this was a secret Beatle release and VOILA a legend is born!

I've been afraid to try Mothership Wit.
Generally I don't care for Wheat Beers. In addition, Mothership Wit is an organically produced beer for what ever that is worth.
The only beer category that has less appeal to me than the wheat beers are the fruit beers.

GAINESVILLE, Va. (AP) – Prince William County fire officials say a fire at a Burger King restaurant in Gainesville was found to be accidental.
The fire broke out shortly before 7:30 a.m. Sunday in the exhaust ducts of the restaurant on Linton Hall Road. Fire officials say grease accumulation in the ducts contributed to the blaze.
The fire caused about $10,000 worth of damage, and no one was injured. The restaurant will be closed until repairs are made and county officials grant authorization for it to reopen.

Looking good - its a great base and the colour scheme works well. Good luck on this.
My 4E D&D campaign is approaching a climactic encounter with the Prince of Frost, possibly on his home territory : his Fortress of Frozen Tears.
I've got ideas about changing his powers so that he's a more interesting combatant, but I'm just failing to make his throne room terribly exciting.
The plan is to populate his tower with bleak forbidding ice statues (previous victims), and evoke an environment that's a cross between Superman's Fortress of Solitude from the 80's movies, and The World of Warcraft's Icecrown Fortress.
The final fight needs to feel Epic -- and I'm struggling to make the area live up. There may be floating hunks of dark ice involved somehow
Anyways, here's the first iteration of the throne room. The big bare area in the middle will feature a raised platform with a throne of ice upon it (offset to the north from the center). I'm also planning to have other platforms at different elevations to encourage movement. But not sure where to put them.
Any ideas to make this more epic?
Looking good - its a great base and the colour scheme works well. Good luck on this.

Ex-police dog shot during burglary dies
Published: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 11:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 11:08 p.m.
WEST PALM BEACH — A former police dog has died five days after being shot while protecting his owner's West Palm Beach home.
The Palm Beach Post reported (http://bit.ly/WJQ7qt ) that veterinarians euthanized Drake on Friday after determining that a bullet nicked the 5-year-old German shepherd's esophagus, making it difficult for him to eat and drink. They had already performed surgery on his legs and head.
Drake was owned by Florida Highway Patrolman Bobby Boody. A 16-year-old suspect has been arrested for the Sunday burglary. He allegedly told investigators that he and two friends targeted Boody because they thought they would find guns and money in the trooper's house. The teen allegedly confessed to shooting Drake. He is charged with felony burglary with a firearm and cruelty to animals. The two friends are being sought.

For a golden appearance, after chicken is done set oven to Broil. Place chicken 6 inches from heat. Broil 2 to 4 min. or until chicken is golden brown.
Prepare as directed, choosing one of the following flavor combinations: Mediterranean Parmesan Chicken: Substitute 1 Tbsp. lemon zest and 1 tsp. dried oregano leaves for the garlic powder. Parmesan-Onion Chicken: Substitute 2 Tbsp. minced onion flakes for the garlic powder. Spicy Parmesan Chicken: Substitute ground red pepper (cayenne) for the garlic powder. Parmesan Pizza Chicken: Substitute 1 tsp. dried basil leaves and 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper for the garlic powder.
Serve with your favorite hot cooked vegetable.
Serve this deliciously easy recipe at dinner tonight. As a bonus, the Parmesan provides a good source of calcium.

This is my go-to recipe when I want something easy and delicious. I tend to use chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts because I get more delicious topping. I also always do the suggested step of broiling it for a few minutes after it's cooked to get it to brown and crisp a bit. I think this step is essential. These are great on their own, used in salads or on pasta.
Instead of in the oven, I put a layer of green beans on the bottom of the crock pot, add the chicken breasts (sometimes chicken tenders instead), cover with the cheese mixture, and then cook on low until the chicken starts to fall apart --easy "fix it and forget it" meal I can put on while the baby naps. Then I add rice or pasta for a side and it's an easy and delicious meal! My kids absolutely love it!
I bake this at 350 and add a little grated parmesean over the top, my family loves it.

REGIONALREPORT CharlotteDowntown wish list is expansive and expensive
Even the plans architect has issues with it. For these kinds of plans to succeed, cities must form implementation teams to carry out the goals, says urban designer Daniel Iacofano, CEO of Berkley, Calif.-based MIG Inc. No such teams are in the works. They were not within our scope, Iacofano says. I would have liked to have made it our scope.
The City Council will vote on whether to endorse the plan this month, but the action wont be binding. This is a vision plan for the next 10, 20, 30 years, says Cheryl Myers, Center City Partners senior vice president of planning and development. Who knows whats going to happen? This is a plan getting ready for that.
The 2020 Vision Plans 14 priorities

- Additional communal areas downtown
- I-77/I-277 loop study
- Freeway caps with plazas and parks over parts of I-277
- A park along the light-rail systems Blue Line
- More bike routes
- Technology hub similar to Research Triangle Park
- A mixed-use facility that can be used by colleges and universities
- New art and design school
- Retail shops in office and residential buildings
- Turn Charlotte Transportation Center into a mixed-use complex
- New high school in the Second Ward

Wed, 12/04/2013 - 19:46
So you've decided to skip the traditional, and take the leap to an unforgettable, St. Lucia wedding. There's no going wrong with a beach wedding in the Caribbean, especially with Rendezvous, but there are a few things you might want to keep in mind to get the most out of your Big Day.
It's going to be hot: And maybe a little windy. Hey, it's outdoors, and you're on an island… it comes with the territory.
- Ladies, try opting for an updo to maintain that picture perfect look your stylist worked so hard to create. Avoid long veils, especially if it's windy as they may get in the photographer's way. Keep in mind that sand and sky scraper heels may not be the best idea… Opt for something sand appropriate, or implement a sand station where guests can trade up their heels for flip flops!
- Gents, you may want to wear a light cotton undershirt that will absorb sweat and help keep you dry. Depending on the time of your ceremony, you may want to reconsider the traditional tuxes, because of the heat factor. Go for lighter colours and fabrics. Informal can be appropriate, but only if it's done right. Wedding planners recommend light weight cotton pants or even Bermuda shorts.
- Be sure to keep sunblock handy, and put some on before you get down to the beach for the ceremony.
Light and Airy does the trick: You're probably not going to want to be wearing layers and layers of fabric. That doesn't mean you should go for a dress any less exquisite than the one you've had your heart set on since, forever. Aim for a dress that's gorgeous, yet won't make you uncomfortable and unhappy. Float down the beach in fabrics like chiffon or charmeuse.
Just go with it: There's going to be that adorable hummingbird dancing around your champagne glass, in an apparent protest at not being invited, or maybe that slight gust of wind that you fear may defy the hold of your hair spray, but these are hardly experiences that will mar the experience. It's an outdoor wedding, embrace the beauty that surrounds you.
Captivated onlookers:
If you're getting married on a public beach, chances are a couple guests may stick around, looking on as you and yours say those magic words that officially mark the beginning of your lives together. No worries, they're harmless, and their best wishes for couples to live happy EverAfter are from the heart!
Prepare for the Unexpected:
You never can tell what you're going to get when it comes to Caribbean weather, but on the upside, it's mostly sunny on these shores, and even if it's not, drizzles equate to showers of blessings, confirmation that you're exactly where you need to be. Feel free to ask the Rendezvous wedding planning team about an indoor backup alternative.
Last but not least: Speak up when exchanging your vows, lest your words get blown away with the wind. The most important tip of all is to be happy. It's your big day, and the staff at Rendezvous are going to ensure that it's absolutely remarkable!

Much, much, much cleaner. I like it more this way.
Much better.
I like it a lot more. Like stated in previous posts it has a cleaner more visually friendly look to it.

Colors are nice. Lots of ads, but that is to be expected since that is what pays the bills :) Way better than the last one.
EDIT: The pop up ads need a threshhold set on them (meaning they only should pop up one time per visit to that page IMO.)

Definitely an improvement. Competent web design speaks volumes for any organization. I like the new aesthetic and the information architecture is essentially the same.

Yes, that's very annoying.
hmmm, I have no sprint ad

Where are the ads that people are speaking of? I've been all over the new site and only see self promoting ads.
I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system.
Looks much more professional that the last version. I like the improvement.

The largest ethnic food festival in Berks County returns for its 42nd year on Oct. 19-20-21 at Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church.
Thousands of visitors are expected to attend the Greek Food Bazaar to enjoy authentic Greek food and pastry and live music and dancing.
The food is prepared and cooked on the premises by church members using family recipes handed down through generations. All food items are available to eat-in in the church social hall or take-out.
The most popular dish is Athenian-style chicken, which comes in a platter with a side of Pastitsio or rice pilaf, Greek-style string beans, a Greek salad, roll and butter for $12. You can substitute Plaki (fresh fish fillet baked with vegetables, herbs and wine) or Souvlaki (chunks of marinated pork) on the platter meal.
There are also a la carte items such Gyro (marinated beef and lamb slices) and Souvlaki (pork shis-ke-bob) sandwiches; Calamari (squid) cooked in tomatoes and wine; Moussaka (eggplant casserole); Arni Psito (roast lamb); and Pastitsio (layered Greek pasta, seasoned with chopped beef topped with b�echamel.
A variety of imported Greek wines and spirits, including Ouzo, an anise-flavored liqueur, will also be served. And be sure to try Mythos, a popular beer imported from Greece.
While enjoying a meal in the main dining hall, visitors will be treated to Greek and American music by Stavros & Maria, a brother-sister duo who are also church members.
The church�s youth dance group, Kefi, will perform traditional Greek dances throughout the weekend wearing colorful costumes.
After a hearty meal, there�s plenty to see and do on the church grounds. An Agora (Greek market) offers packaged Greek foods and prepared dishes to go. The Kafenio (Greek coffee house) features fresh-brewed Greek-style coffee, rice pudding and pastries in a relaxed atmosphere.
Visitors can also shop for original artwork, gold jewelry and items imported from Greece in various gift rooms.
Festival-goers can also view one of the largest collections of Byzantine iconography in the United States. Guided tours of the church interior are provided every the hour.
A popular stop for all visitors is the pastry room, where you can pick between popular treats like Baklava (almonds, butter, and honey layered in flaky pastry), Teelikta (walnuts, butter and honey rolled in flaky pastry); Kourabiethes (butter cookies topped with powdered sugar), Koulourakia (Greek twisted butter cookie) and Galaktobouriko (a filo pastry filled with custard and moistened with honey syrup). If you can�t decide, take a sampler box home with you.
Another Greek delicacy is Loukoumathes (puffed honey balls), a warm dough pastry topped with honey, cinnamon and chopped nuts.
Bazaar hours are noon to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Admission and parking are free. The event is held rain or shine.
Additional parking is available across the street at Berks Catholic High School.
The church is located at 1001 E. Wyomissing Blvd., about one mile from Business Route 222 South (also known as Lancaster Avenue). For more information, call 610-374-7511 or visit www.stsconstantinehelen.org

(sit-ee gurl) n. A term generally used by delusional, suburban/rural females that have moved to any major city to describe themselves mostly due to the fact that they are ashamed of and/or running away from their past. Its obvious usage is for self-convincing and/or to impress the people they grew-up with in suburbia. Those that use this term are also quick to respond "the city" when asked where they are from. -note: When asking that question and given that answer, it should be quickly followed up with: "Wow, really? Where'd you go to high school?"

for those of us who live outside the city, a city girl is a girl who lives in the city who you hook up with on business or recreational trips to the city. This act is usually done behind the back of a significant other or friends.
I've got a conference in Chicago next Thursday. Will be a nice change though I haven't seen my city girl in weeks.

Dear Workforce:
What is the most recent estimated cost of absenteeism in the workplace?Similar to that, what can I do to address tardiness? I haven't gotten resultsthrough coaching, dialogue, or a flexible schedule. Thanks.
--Antonio, weekend supervisor, Wisconsin
A Dear Antonio:
First, Absenteeism: According to CCH, unscheduled absenteeism can costup to an average of $602 per employee per year, not including indirect costssuch as overtime pay for other employees, hiring temps, missed deadlines, lostsales, sinking morale and lower productivity.
Indirect costs can add up to 25% to the direct costs (Employee BenefitNews, Dec. '99, and HR News, 11-99).
In a survey of 11 U.S. based telecommunications companies, 72 cents of everydollar ofcosts related to employee absence stemmed from lost productivity,rather than such hard costs as health care and disability benefits (BusinessInsurance, July 10, 2000).
On to addressing the tardiness problem: If the employer has an EAPbenefit, the logical next step would be to mandate counseling. At this point,the company should have determined to its satisfaction that the problem is notrelated to an ADA issues, or that of another federal act.
If EAP counseling fails, the next step in most companies would be documenteddisciplinary action as prescribed by the company's HR procedures/policiesmanual.
Sometimes, this is just the shock necessary to cause the employee to refocuson what the company's standards are, and to face the possibility of having tochoose, eventually, between meeting performance standards and making a change ina job or career.

Hey tech guys --- I am having issues with my wireless router that I've never had before. The thing quits working like five to six times a day. I just go and unplug it and plug it back in and it starts working again. It has never done this before. Is it crapping out on me?
Twitter: @ChrisMWilliams
Facebook: Cyclone Fanatic
It can be a number of things, but most likely its crapping out. Sometimes your modem will be crapping out and constantly be dropping the IP which will in turn cause your router to renew or lose all together. Which one do you have? There could be a firmware update that may fix the issue as well.
Probably need to flush the router fluid.
The cheaper the router, the more likely it needs a reset after high traffic.
What model do you have?
I would start with the modem, I had this problem with mediacom, they flipped out the modem and haven't looked back since.
John Walters is my hero
Originally Posted by 3TrueFans

^^^ I concur.
It is a Linksys 2.4. It is well over four years old.
Does the wireless signal drop, or does the internet connection drop?
Wireless signal dropping means the radio is messed up somehow, and you probably need a new one.
Internet just stopping working could be a variety of issues, including your ISP or cabling between the two.
"Homemade beer, after all, is like a democracy. Every so often, youre gonna hate what comes out of it. But when its good, its the best." - woot.com
DSL or Cable Modem?
If it's cable modem, it could be the attenuation of the signal on the cable. I had that problem two years ago, and it produced identical symptoms to what you're describing. In my case, the cable to my house had three splices in it before it even made it to the house. Comcast came out, and replaced the pole-to-house cable with a single, long piece, and it solved the problem. This can also happen if you splice the cable too many times in route to the wireless router, or if you use the cheaper, Radio Shack, splitters.
(Again if it's cable modem) Your cable company has a nice piece of handheld equipment that they can simply plug in at the point where the cable meets your cable modem, and tell you if the signal strength is sufficient. They'll usually do this for free, if you call and tell them about your problem.

I am thinking that I'll have to do this. Thanks for the heads up.
A man has to have quality tools. Someday when I grow up I want to be like that Yankee Woodshop guy and just grab a different router instead of changing bits.
