Arts I Have Eaten Near the World's Finest Restaurants
Five hundred and sixty international food critics just got together to vote for Restaurant magazine's list of the world's 50 best restaurants. Turns out I'm a classier dude than I (or anybody else) expectedI have dined in close proximity to several of these fine eateries. Among them:
Finest restaurant #8: Per Se, New York, New York
Per Se is in Columbus Circle, where they have those bronze reliefs of the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa MarÃa. In rememberance of the Spanish invasion of the New World, I got a hot dog from a street vendor. (Pigs, like dandilions and rats and horses, are not indigenous to the Americas.) It was rubbery and unsatisfying.
Finest restaurant #26: Charlie Trotter's, Chicago, Illinois
My meal at Charlie Trotter's was actually a steaming, bitter plate of crow. I was walking around with a young lady I wanted to treat to a nice meal. I was new to Chicagoand, apparently, to common-sense researchand had heard that Charlie's was a "good" restaurant. But really, how fancy could it be with a name that sounded suspiciously like a euphemism for diarrhea? Pretty goddamned fancy, in fact. I asked to see a menu and my eyebrows shot up so fast, I thought I'd sprained my forehead. In retrospect, it's clear that the maitre d' was just humoring me and, being a professional, probably would have saved my dignity, saying something like "we're full up tonight," if I'd let him. Instead, I blanched, stammered, and nearly threw the menu back at him for fear of incurring a fine for soiling it with my plebian fingers. I left with the young lady and slopped her like a hog at a nearby taco truckmy treat.
Finest restaurant #17: Le Cinq, Paris, France
Le Cinq is off the George V metro stop, part of Line 1, the first subway line in Paris, which opened in 1900. I remember sitting on the subway at the George V station, surprised that a station named for an English king came between one named for de Gaulle and another named for FDR. I was eating a croissant sandwich with ham and cheesewhich, I thought, was an appropriate Franco-Anglo-American fusion snack.
Finest restaurant #1: El Bulli, Girona, Catalonia
I was living in Manresa, a fading former textile town near Girona (which is near Barcelona) but further inland. My girlfriend and I wanted to visit the historic old town (singing "my-my-my-my Girona!" a la the Knack) and I discovered El Bulli while googling. It sounded incredible: 27-course meals built of micro-plates made with lasers and centrifuges and other sci-fi machines. El Bulli serves "pistachio truffle cooled in liquid nitrogen" and "air of carrot," a frothy carrot foam. "Liquid" is just a peach dipped in liquid hydrogen. One day, we got some ham and tomato bocadillos and hiked around the bumpy roads heading out of town, looking for El Bulli. We never found it, but we pretended to; we sat on a stone by the roadside and ate our baguette sandwiches in 27 tiny bites.

Finmeccanica Sees Cash Drain on Suspended Chopper Payment
Finmeccanica SpA, Europe's most indebted defense company, predicted a cash outflow for this year amid suspended payments for helicopters and a sluggish rail business, prompting the stock to drop the most in nine months.
The company said yesterday that it will see a cash outflow of 350 million euros ($469 million) to 450 million euros in 2013 instead of an anticipated 100 million-euro inflow.
"The downgrade to free cash-flow guidance is a material negative credit development for Finmeccanica that, in our view, could provoke further negative ratings action," Darren Hook, a London-based analyst at Barclays Plc, wrote in a note. Barclays cut its rating on the company to underweight from overweight.
The revised target deepens a crisis at the Rome-based manufacturer, which is still reeling from a bribery investigation that felled former Chairman Giuseppe Orsi and the head of the helicopter unit in February. Finmeccanica said yesterday it will require a deeper review of its train unit after it failed to meet targets.
The cash drain in part reflects India suspending payments for helicopters following a bribery investigation. Three helicopters built for India and not yet delivered have now been sold to another customer, Chief Executive Officer Alessandro Pansa said on an investor call today.
Objectives Missed
Finmeccanica slumped as much as 8.8 percent, the most since February. The stock traded 5.8 percent lower at 5.115 euros at 12:18 p.m. in Milan, clipping this year's gain to 18 percent.
Earnings before interest, tax, and amortization will fall 5 percent to 10 percent short of a 1 billion-euro objective, the company said after the market closed yesterday. The third-quarter net loss was 73 million euros, after the company had a 74 million euro gain in the year-earlier period. Finmeccanica still projects a profit for the year.
"AnsaldoBreda did not achieve any of the objectives given," Finmeccanica said. The company plans to further redefine the structure of its trainmaking unit to reflect a reduced backlog. Restructuring steps will be "significant and immediate," Pansa said.
Finmeccanica, which had aimed to sell the unit that makes rail rolling stock bundled with its Ansaldo STS SpA rail signaling holdings, will now tackle Breda on a standalone basis, Pansa said. All actions will be considered short of those creating social disruption, he said.
Space Interest
The aerospace and defense activities, which Finmeccanica considers central to its operations, reached targets in the first nine months, the company said.
Net debt rose to 5.2 billion euros, 300 million euros more than the year-earlier period. Nevertheless, Pansa said the company is in talks with potential partners about buying the share in Avio's space activities Finmeccanica does not already control.
The results no longer reflect the agreed sale of most of Finmeccanica's 40 stake in Ansaldo Energia to Italian state lender Cassa Depositi & Prestiti SpA last month. Finmeccanica will retain 15 percent, with the bank also acquiring the 45 percent share held by private-equity firm First Reserve.
Finmeccanica will gain initial proceeds of 273 million euros when the deal is completed, probably this year, with additional funds due through 2017. Cash from the disposal of its stake in aircraft engine maker Avio, being sold to General Electric Co., will likely be booked next year, Chief Financial Officer Gian Piero Cutillo said.

Great progress is being made on our waterfront
I'm looking back upon the summer of 2011 and am doing so with tremendous appreciation. At long last, Buffalo's long-neglected waterfront is on the move.
From improvements along Canalside, to the concerts and activities scheduled there, to the continued addition of new public amenities at that space, this is really incredible progress that has been made. Next year, I'm confident that we'll see even more progress, with more choices for refreshments and recreation along the water's edge.
I've followed the efforts to improve these areas for years, and each has one common denominator: the hard work of Rep. Brian Higgins. Instead of the pie-in-the-sky, one-shot quick fix we've seen so often in the past, he works on achievable, realistic goals -- and gets them done. To use a baseball metaphor, Higgins isn't always just looking for the three-run homer; he knows that when you hit singles, you will eventually score runs.
My wife and I are eagerly looking forward to the progress we're sure to see in 2012, when more of Buffalo's waterfront areas will become open and accessible to more Western New Yorkers.

Over-regulation makes any recovery impossible
Most people have heard of the free-enterprise system. Today we have the over-regulated enterprise system. In effect, by over-regulating businesses and corporations, the Democrats have not only prevented an economic recovery, they have made it impossible. When you handcuff businesses with regulation, the free-enterprise system ceases to function.
The most successful time in the history of the United States was when regulation was justifiably needed. Today, we have local, state and federal regulations that actually curtail business and expansion. We could have full employment in a year or two if the government bureaucrats would disappear for a while. This present Democratic government has thrown up too many roadblocks to economic recovery.
Starting with the Environmental Protection Agency, which should be eliminated completely, there should be a review of duplicate regulations that drive businesses to other countries. When Americans cry about businesses relocating in other countries, think about the "do-gooders" in this country who drive good businesses out with paper work, harassment and regulations.

Writer has no clue how to create jobs
Rarely have I read an article where the writer so deftly pulls the rug out from under his own feet as "Can the jobs come back?" in the Sept. 4 Viewpoints. After painting an ugly picture of the decline of manufacturing, Patrick Reddy suggests three ways we can rebuild this capacity:
Incentives for technology advances. As an example, he suggests giving a bonus for the design of an engine that gets 100 mpg. Well, if we could build one of those, so could Honda and Toyota, so what would stop Americans from continuing to buy cars from overseas?
Ask organized labor to accept significant wage cuts in exchange for a guarantee of no layoffs. Why should businessmen do this, when they can just wait for organized labor to go extinct? And anyway, this idea came only a few paragraphs after Reddy said that one of the serious problems with American business leaders was their "uncontrollable appetite for cheap labor." How do we get them to go through rehab for this?
Increase exports of our popular culture and natural resources. If "popular culture" means movies, video games and music (which is only about a $10 billion industry), doubling it (a tremendous task) would cut our trade deficit about 2 percent. Small potatoes. How about natural resources? Are we talking about water? We're already running out of that in the Southwest and elsewhere. Timber? That's a raw material; not much value-added work there for American manufacturing. Corn? We're going to need that for the 15 percent ethanol gasoline that the EPA just OK'd. Oil and gas? We don't have any to spare.
When the "solutions" part of an article is only 6 percent of the whole thing, it means the writer hasn't a clue how to really fix the problem.

Why don't Americans utilize right to vote?
Last weekend, Americans in every city, town and village across the nation rightfully reflected upon the terrorist attacks of 10 years ago in tribute to
the victims and their families of the 9/1 1 tragedy. At ceremonies at ground zero, in town squares and sports venues, Americans rallied together in a show of solidarity and patriotism, not only honoring the victims, but also publicly displaying appreciation for the rights, opportunities and freedom that we all share in this country.
Why is it then, two days after an outpouring of gratitude for and celebration of America's freedoms, the citizens of Erie and Niagara counties ignored the most basic of freedoms -- the right to vote -- by staying away in droves in the primary election? When will people in this community realize that primaries are as important as the general election, and by not voting in September, they may not have the opportunity to vote for several candidates whom they were planning to support in November?

True D/M/WBE firms are few and far between
I am writing in response to The News article, "Contractor in scam gets a year of probation." It said Oscar Rayford was "one of Buffalo's most prominent African-American contractors." Prominent because of his community involvement, maybe. But as a contractor, I don't think so. He was no more than a broker, using his minority business enterprises to make $3 to $5 on a cubic yard of concrete, 3 percent on shuffling paperwork that identified him as the supplier on material, etc.
Yes, he did fulfill a need in the construction business that is rampant with "quotas and goals." The agencies that set the quotas and goals for construction projects do not like to hear the words, "We can't find a D/M/WBE [Disadvantaged/Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise] to perform this type of work." We were required to send out notices requesting quotes from firms as far away as Albany for a job in Olean because we could not meet our "goal" for the contract.
There are legitimate D/M/WBE firms that perform services in the construction industry, but they are few and far between and usually have a heavy backlog of work. Very seldom will you find a supplier that is no more than a broker. The system of granting status to these firms needs to be changed by conducting a more extensive research by the agency of the firm requesting this status.

Having "perched" in a rented apartment in Denver for three months, it's time to hit the road again. We know how to do it: fill er up with gas, make sure there's air in the tires, fasten on the bikes, toss in the camping gear, and off we go....
Happy Second Birthday, Emerson!
Our camp was labelled 'Primitive camping" but still included taps, fire pits, drop toilets and a full time Ranger living on site. She had been there three seasons, April to November, and carried a holstered gun!
Thick clouds when we woke and most of the other campers had left, some at dawn, so we hit the road fast and drove up and out of the valley, not wanting to spend ...
Drive around
Wow what a night it rained, hail, thunder lighting last night, this morning, went to Walmart to get some supply, food etc.. Pickup the dogs and went to jones fish hatchery about a hour drive,, it was a great drive, on way home we took detour to route us 40 but the road ...
Travel to Vernal
... group camping, walked the dogs, around picnic area and dogs saw many chipmunk and rabbit, drove back to camp site via 3500 south, very county and paved, back to camp and sunshine , bqued hamburger and chicken, with mix vegetable, wine and good company, Well the night was busy had nickel size hail , thunder lighting for about 4 hour ...
Salt, Ice, & Dinosaurs
... here is either related to dinosaurs or oil production. Millions of people a year flock here to see dinosaur bones and and explore in Dinosaur National Monument. There is a fantastic museum here too. Tomorrow we'll be crossing the Rockies, if the Mini is in the mood. Actually the Mini is running great, its just the fuel pump that is acting up. Anyway, off we go to Colorado. ...

I've installed WP on a 2nd domain and the buttons on the control panel don't load. Every image (including the themes panel) won't load. I have already installed WP on one domain and subdomain and it works perfectly but it won't work on this domain. I installed it through hostgator. I've uninstalled and installed a thousand times and the problem continues. I've searched forums and google and can't seem to find a solution for this. I'm also a newbie to CSS and php.
Any suggestions?

Facebook, other websites transforming into new grieving and recovery ground for families
"What would the group do if someone was suicidal?" she said. "That doesn't happen very often, but it could happen."
She also said there are some aspects of a human relationship that can't be formed online.
"You don't want people to engage online to the exclusion of human, face-to-face, contact," she said. "What a lonely person needs is people. Even the best Internet group, even the best one, is no substitute for a human hug or a human handshake or having a...Coke with a person who can look you in the eyes and offer support."
Be cautious
Ken Hansen, Unified Police detective, said participants in online groups should be careful.
"If you open up your life or your Facebook to strangers, you never know what's going to happen," he said.
Facebook does regulate pages and groups, but sometimes false identities are created, he said. Supporters are urged to do their research, set their privacy settings accordingly and contact law enforcement if they are still unsure about a group or page.
"Certainly you can appreciate someone going through that (difficult situation) and maybe provide support, but I would be careful before I did anything else," he said.
Greene said she was shocked at how much attention her Facebook page received.
"There were, at one point, like 800 members to it," she said.
What began as a way to share Katelynn's status after heart surgery, quickly became more. It was one of her only contacts with the world outside when she was in the hospital.
"I could just go and I could type," she said. It becomes a place where she shared more than just updates — she shared her fears, hopes and faith.
"It ended up becoming... sharing more than I meant to," she said.
Problems with her hip and back left Greene grocery shopping in a wheelchair just two weeks after her daughter's death.
She felt upset and alone. She felt robbed that she had to do everyday tasks in the wake of such grief.
A stranger approached her and asked Greene why she was in a wheelchair. The woman helped Greene with her shopping and offered an inspiring story of a women who recently lost her child and was in a wheelchair.
"She started telling my story," Greene said. "That woman that she's finding inspiration in was me."
In that moment Greene said she realized Facebook had allowed her to emit her purest feelings, rather than the negative ones she felt that day in the grocery store.
"How do you explain the value of people who reach out to you?" she asked. Facebook "gave me some support that was really valuable."
A place of understanding
Deverall uses the page to rally support for autistic-friendly causes, post questions about safety for their children, or about events that welcome kids with special needs.
And sometimes, she likes to post something to keep lighten the mood — something that only moms with kids with autism can relate to.
"Here's to the caretakers, the poop whisperers, the up-all-nighters. Here's to you, autism mom. Rock on, woman," a post from Feburary 13.
"Some moms are a little overdramatic, but it's a place where you can say these things and not be judged because we can all relate in on way or another," she said. "We definitely understand."
Deverall's son will soon be starting kindergarten. She knows where to turn with questions. It's the kind of support she said she can't get anywhere else, and it's available 24-7 for uplifting messages like, "You will get through the day," or "we had that yesterday and we're alive today."
Social workers told Clayerie her as Presley started maintenance treatments, month 11 of months of a two-and-a-half-year treatment for leukemia patients, some families and friends would stop calling.
"It's kind of true," she said. "Most support now is with other cancer moms. They understand how long cancer treatment is."
Clayerie said sometimes cancer moms pull away. They want to take a step back into "normal life."
"We try to be normal, we try to ignore," she said — that cancer isn't apart of their lives. "But after a while it comes back."
It comes back with each fever that requires a trip to the emergency room instead of a simple pain reliving medication. Or a playdate canceled because their child's white blood cell count isn't where it should be.
"Little things become big things," she said. "It's not just like a normal kid."
She said she and the other cancer moms always come back together. For their own support and to support others.
"We can't not know how the other cancer kids are doing," she said.

Yesterday John Kessler reported that Mihoko Obunai-Truex would be taking over full responsibility for the kitchen at Repast because her husband and co-chef Joe Truex was moving on to another Atlanta-based project. Today, we found out what that project is: Truex is taking over as chef at Watershed.
I spoke to Tuex this morning about his new venture, and what this means for both Watershed and Repast. Its an interesting move; Truex grew up in Louisiana but has never been known for his Southern cooking at Repast. As a kid growing up in the South, all I wanted to do was leave, he said. I think that I proved I can do that professionally. I think I know what makes Watershed so appealing, that feeling of Southern home. Itll be interesting to get back to that.
Truex admits though, that Watershed has some room for change. We want to air it out, get a little freshness in here.
The integrity, sincerity, honesty and freshness will all stay, he said. But I think we can be more ingredient driven. And I think we can have creativity without being over-cheffified.
I asked if we could look forward to more Louisiana influence on the menu. Youll see some Louisiana Im sure, he said. But the amazing thing about the South is the cultural diversity, from Louisiana to North Carolina to coastal Southern. Southern food doesnt have to be pigeon-holed, theres so much there to work with.
At Repast, Truex has built one of the citys best wine lists, and he promises to be as involved with the wine program at Watershed as he was at his own restaurants. I think French wine and Southern food go together really well, he said.
As far as Repast goes, Truex says that changes can be expected there as well. Mihoko is a talented chef, she wants a stage to perform on as well, he said. We have this great reputation there, but weve fallen into the destination restaurant trap. We want people to think, were going to a show at the Earl, lets just stop by Repast and grab some small plates and a glass of wine. We need to make it a more affordable format, so thats what shes trying to do.
Asked if it would be a strange thing to go from being an owner to a partner, Truex admitted that the change would have its challenges. At Repast, Im used to it being my way or the highway. But at the same time itll be really nice to have someone else to deal with certain aspects of running a restaurant. Itll be amazing to just be able to focus on the food.
Where is Dough in the Box? This list is weak without that location.

I am about to do a similar butcher block counter top and more than likely will end up using Safecoat vs Waterlox (sounds way more toxic). Can you tell me how your countertops have held up over the last few years and anything you might have done differently? How many coats did you do of the Safecoat sealer?

I've had the same kind of interactions about the floors my husband and I uncovered and refinished. They are VERY rustic looking (old patches, dark stains around the nails, etc) and we put on a very matte (VOC free) varnish so they hardly look varnished at all (which we wanted, also hides some of the imperfections). We love them, but I do worry what other people will think when we eventually go to sell the house because people are so used to brand new (and character-free) flooring. We're also making our kitchen look a lot like yours, actually, and know that people will wonder where all the cabinets are (although we have a very large built in butler pantry, plenty of storage). And, of course, they'll wonder where the granite countertops are (ugh).

I know you put yours I'm a few years ago, so they might have changed things since then. One section of yours appears to be almost 6 continuous feet of slab, but on their website it doesn't look like like they have a slab that long. Also, you had said yours was 1 1/4 inches thick, and they are saying its 1 1/8 inches. We are building our home this fall and I've taken such inspiration from your blog!!

New Members for a Remade School Board
By ABBY GOODNOUGH
Published: August 8, 2002
The borough presidents of Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx yesterday announced their appointments to the city's new Panel for Educational Policy, including two former members of a citywide parent group and a retired school district superintendent.
All four appointees have children who attend city schools, as required under the new school control law pushed through by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.
Unlike Mr. Bloomberg, who has discouraged his own seven appointees to the panel from talking to the news media, the borough presidents said their appointees should and would speak out. ''They are there as representatives of a broad base of people,'' said C. Virginia Fields, the Manhattan borough president.
Ms. Fields appointed Jacquelyn M. Kamin, a mother of four and former lawyer for the city's Department of Consumer Affairs who lives on the Upper West Side. Ms. Kamin was chairwoman of the Chancellor's Parent Advisory Council, a parent advocacy group, in the late 1990's.
The other appointees are Evita Belmonte of Queens, a supervisory aide at Junior High School 231 in Springfield Gardens who has also served on the Parent Advisory Council; Natalie M. Gomez-Velez of the Bronx, special counsel to New York State's chief administrative judge; and Donald Weber of Brooklyn, a former superintendent of School District 21 whose 17-year tenure was not without controversy.
Staten Island's borough president, James P. Molinaro, announced his appointee, Joan McKeever-Thomas, last month. Ms. McKeever-Thomas is a longtime parent leader in the Staten Island public schools.
Mr. Weber, who stood out among the appointees because of his longtime employment in the school system, retired in 2000 after clashing with Harold O. Levy, the departing schools chancellor. One former Board of Education official said that Mr. Weber had infuriated Mr. Levy by skipping the weekly meetings of the chancellor and the 32 district superintendents.
Since January, Mr. Weber has been the special assistant on education for Marty Markowitz, the new Brooklyn borough president.
School District 21, which covers the southern tip of Brooklyn, was considered one of the most heavily politicized in the city until 1996, when the State Legislature stripped the city's 32 community school boards of most of their powers. Mr. Weber, who entered the school system in 1962 as a math teacher, served on the District 21 board for a number of years before becoming superintendent. The Brooklyn district attorney's office investigated the board in 1989 after receiving allegations of nepotism and patronage, but the investigation was never completed.
Yesterday, Mr. Markowitz emphasized District 21's test scores, which are often among the city's highest, when he announced Mr. Weber's appointment. But several people involved in education criticized the appointment.
''Marty Markowitz has violated the intent of the changes in the governance law and insulted parents by making a blatant political appointment,'' said Robin Brown, the chairwoman of the Chancellor's Parent Advisory Council and a Brooklyn resident. Asked about the criticism, Mr. Markowitz said that Ms. Brown had sought to serve on the panel herself.
None of the four panel members appointed yesterday seemed quite sure of what their job would entail. Thanks to legislation advocated by Mayor Bloomberg last spring, the educational panel will have far fewer powers than the Board of Education that it is replacing, which was notorious for political infighting. In persuading the State Legislature to grant him control of the school system, Mr. Bloomberg insisted that the board be abolished and that the new panel have no role in the daily management of the central school administration.
In fact, Mr. Bloomberg wanted the panel's role to be strictly advisory, and he originally wanted to appoint all the members himself to prevent the political infighting that was so rampant among members of the old Board of Education. But the Legislature resisted such a drastic overhaul and insisted that the borough presidents continue to play a role.
The Legislature also insisted that the 13-member panel vote on the capital and expense budgets and on certain policy changes.
Mr. Bloomberg's handpicked chancellor, Joel I. Klein, will be the chairman of the panel. Mr. Klein, the chairman and chief executive of Bertelsmann Inc., is to take over the school system on Aug. 19. After yesterday's news conference, Deputy Mayor Dennis M. Walcott urged the new panel members to stay by their phones for the rest of the day because Mr. Klein planned to call them for introductory chats.
In a statement, Mr. Bloomberg praised the borough presidents' appointees as ''dedicated and qualified parents.'' Only two of the seven members of the old Board of Education, Ninfa Segarra and Irving Hamer, had children in public schools during their tenure.
Unlike the former board members, the panel members will not be provided with staffs, cars or stipends. But the borough presidents said yesterday that they would set aside space in their own offices for their appointees to work.
In the first sign that the appointees might not rubber-stamp all of Mr. Bloomberg's education proposals, Mr. Weber expressed skepticism about the mayor's decision, announced last week, that district superintendents must work out of the Tweed Courthouse, where the school system's central administration will soon be housed.
''As a superintendent, I would personally prefer to stay in my community,'' Mr. Weber said.
As for Mr. Bloomberg's selection of Mr. Klein as chancellor, Mr. Weber said: ''I obviously was hoping for an educator. But from the things I've heard about Mr. Klein he seems to have wonderful management skills.''

I booked this for an overnight business trip because it was marketed as cool, focused on meeting travelers' needs. Check in was fine. Room was stark, bare and institutional instead of Euro modern. Uninviting. Hard bed, too few pillows. More like a dorm than a hotel. Would not use this hotel chain again.

Liberals were the one's lynching blacks. I stand corrected, they were Democrats. Republican's were the ones fighting for equal rights. I'm neither.
More stupid decisions by BOD.
You could be wrong. I am a conservative and thought this was a sure thing on the short side. Never shorted a stock before but decided this was the best bet. Also bought PUTS. Covered today with a great profit.
Now your being stupid.
Very well said.
Liberal thought pattern.
Will re short after morning panic. Holding puts. and will add.
Think Trans Gender Toilets (TGT) will be up tomorrow? All opinions welcome.
Agreed. Boycott will most likely not have a lot of effect on this quarter. Next quarter will show the full impact. CEO & O'Bummer sure like poking their finger in the conservatives eye. Didn't accomplish much except lose customer respect. O'Bummer couldn't lose any respect because he never had any.
Why now boycott forever so other CEO's might learn to stop pushing their agenda's and just retail?
Agreed. Haven't been back to JCP since the Degenerate episode. Haven't signed the petition either. Am now short the stock with PUTS.
Depends on what family!
Agreed, well said. Trade well my friend.
If the S&P beaks below 2043 and closes below, look out below. If you STAY long I hope your rich.
Why would you return IF they change their bathroom policy? Can't you see management follows Obama's
liberal policies. Do you agree with choice of restrooms in schools? That is the next thing. Either you draw a line in the sand now or later when their social policies make you totally sick and wish you had done something earlier. A TGT will NEVER see me again, no matter if they change now or not. If you hadn't notice Obama is trying to destroy this country and the principles it was founded on, either by social engineering or foreign policy. You have been warned! NGDTRT!
I can only hope. My puts would go through the roof. I left TGT when they refused to let the Marine Corps collect "Toys for Tots". A perfect storm is forming.
Think we will be up?
Well I'll be darn!
Oh contraire, Nordstrom and Dillard's warning. Target must be getting their sales. Bahahahahaha.
Management sure know how to poorly treat their customers.

Note: Clearfield finished with a 2-8 overall record in 2013 and was seventh in Region 6 with an 0-6 record. It did not qualify for the 4A playoffs.
CLEARFIELD — One of the greatest players in the history of Clearfield High's football program has returned to take the coaching reins at his alma mater. And he's determined to help these low-flying Falcons get off the ground and soar to glory again like they once did.
Andre Dyson, who graduated from CHS in 1997 and went on to star at the University of Utah and the National Football League as a defensive back, is the Falcons' first-year head coach, and he inherits a program that hasn't had a winning season since 2004.
He knows it won't be easy, and he knows it'll take some time to turn things around. But as is his nature, Dyson isn't backing down from this difficult challenge.
"I'm always confident, but it's just going to be a work in progress and we're just trying to get everybody on the same page," he said after a recent practice session. "It's coming along slowly, but hopefully it'll start picking up once we hit the big time so to speak — Friday nights — and we understand the severity of how to focus, how to play hard, how to play fast. We're getting there, but it's gonna take time.
"There's potential here. The whole thing's gonna be about mentality. When you've been down so long and people have told you that you couldn't, you start to believe it. So my biggest challenge is to get these kids to believe that they can. That's what's going to be the biggest thing — just try to believe, believe, believe. ... I believe in my heart that we can play with anyone and we can beat anyone, but obviously what's most important is that they believe in that.
"That's gonna take me pushing them and encouraging them and hopefully getting instilled in them and in the community to believe in what you're doing and let everything else fall into place," Dyson said. "Don't worry about all the outside stuff and just believe in yourself. It starts with that. If you don't believe in yourself, who will?"
Dyson certainly believes in himself, and he has a firm belief that the Falcons' program can rise back up and be competitive again.
He looks at neighboring schools Northridge, Layton and Syracuse and the success they've had over the last eight to 10 years, and he sees no reason why Clearfield can't do the same thing.
"The talent's there; there's high schools right around the corner with the same kids," Dyson said. "They grew up in the same area, played in the same rec leagues, played against you all the time, and the difference is mentality to me. Northridge and Syracuse and Layton have the same kids, it's just a different mentality. Those kids have been winning, and somehow they've figured out a way to be confident and they believe that they can win and they've won. So to me, that's a mentality issue. To say you can't win at Clearfield, to me, that's an excuse.
"I don't think there's a bunch of kids in this area or in this state that are going to be going to the Florida States and Floridas. ... It's not like you're going to have 10 or 11 Division I prospects on your team. You might have one or two, but one or two doesn't make you better.
"Eleven guys make you better, and hopefully we can get them to understand that," he said. "Eleven guys at once, 11 guys at a time, 11 guys coming together and playing as one, and everyone on the sideline pulling together, everyone's like a family. The sky's the limit, and anything is possible. That's what I'm trying to teach these guys — that anything is possible."

Kevin Swanson Speculates That Kacey Musgraves Would Have Been Killed For 'Promoting Homosexuality' In The 1960s
Kevin Swanson is not happy that country singer Kacey Musgraves won album of the year at the 2014 ACM Awards, warning that the singer is pushing the destruction of America and causing demons to dance in its ashes.
Swanson said on his April 10 radio program that if Musgraves had performed her song "Follow Your Arrow" any time between the 1880s and the 1960s, it would have prompted calls for her to be killed: "Let me say this, if she had sang [sic] that thing in a country bar in the 1920s or 1880s in Denver, Colorado, somebody would've called for a rope, 'Get a rope!' You know what would have happened, she would not have made it out of town in the 1880s, 1920s, 1940s or 1960s."
"But things have changed, friends," he lamented.
The Religious Right talk show host later explained that Muscraves' "promotion of homosexuality" is undermining America.
"When you can turn a once-Christian nation into Sodom, that's when the demons do their celebration, their dance in the end zone," he said. "So she's got to promote homosexuality and she's got to promote the abandonment of the traditional church in the same song. That's critical for the dismantling of the Christian faith in the heartland."

hi there,
my website is http://www.kan-photography.co.uk and I am having some issues with Lightbox.
It has been working previously and I have recently updated WP and the plugins etc but now when I click an image, it opens up on itself as like a new page but in the same tab if that makes sense.
I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, so I installed the NextGen Gallery OPtimizer to see if that would help but it didnt.
Please can you help me get the lightbox back!!

I'm trying to find out how I can change the font color in my Fullscreen theme Homepage menu from the light grey color to a bright white. The website developer who is working on my site doesn't know how to change the color and told me he doesn't think that it can be changed.
I don't have a clue how CSS or coding works but I need to get this fixed. I know it's doable as I've seen other Fullscreen sites with White colored font in the menu.
Can anyone help me with this. Please keep it as simple as possible as I really don't know how this stuff works.
My website is: http://www.historyinyourownbackyard.com
Thanks in advance!

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini (previously Cole) has reportedly once again dropped her last name, claiming her newly married name is too difficult to pronounce. Cheryl - maiden name Tweedy rose to fame as a member of chart-topping Girls Aloud, before marrying footballer Ashley Cole and embarking on a solo career, dominating the charts this time around as Cheryl Cole. However after her marriage to the footballer broke up, she released solo album #3 'Pretty Little Raindrops' with just the name Cheryl on the cover. She told the press at this point, she would still like to be known as Cheryl Cole, as otherwise it seemed like she didn't care about her marriage to Ashley. However after her marriage last month to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, Cheryl has now dropped her surname altogether, claiming it was too difficult for people to pronounce.
Photos of Cheryl have featured heavily recently on fellow 'X Factor' judge Mel B's instagram account. With the 11th series of the show set to premiere this month on ITV. Mel B will feature as a permanent judge for the first time, after previously appearing as a guest judge. Cheryl and Simon are both returning to the panel after absences involving the ill-fated US version of the show.
In other news, Louis Walsh, who is the only judge to have so far appeared in every series of the show, reportedly told The Sunday People that ex-judge Tulisa would be considered by him to appear in the judges houses stage of this years show, after her drug trial collapsed recently due to serious misconduct on behalf of the key witnesses.
