For the past 30 months, St. Charles businessman Ron Onesti has viewed the Onesti Dinner Club restaurant as an extension of his personality and energy.
It was an easy connection to make, since Onesti, also the owner of the historic Arcada Theater in downtown St. Charles, made sure he was at his restaurant at 14 N. Fourth St. as much as possible.
Citing the growing popularity and significant upgrade of entertainment at the Arcada and some future time-consuming projects, Onesti informed friends and supporters Tuesday that he is closing his restaurant.
The announcement came as a surprise to many who felt the restaurant was doing well despite the recession, which reared its head at about the same time Onesti opened the dinner club.
"You always hope you are making the right decision, because the restaurant was doing very well, but I wanted to go out like John Elway, not like Brett Favre," Onesti said.
"I have no regrets because I accomplished what I set out to do, and the restaurant got to the point where you couldn't even get in, it was so busy," Onesti added. "I would get great e-mails from people saying what a great experience they had, with the food and entertainment, and that we really captured the magic.
"The fact that we were able to create that for people really, from starting out with nothing, says a lot."
Much like he did in reopening the shuttered Arcada Theater six years ago, Onesti reopened the vacant restaurant site that had its own historic significance in St. Charles. It was the site of the original St. Patrick's Church in St. Charles in 1851, and after the new church was built on Cedar Street in 1912, the Fourth Street site became vacant, other than to house St. Patrick School classrooms for a short time in the early 1950s.
In the early 1970s, it became the Old Church Inn restaurant under owners Laurie and Terry Grove and eventually had two other sets of owners and was renamed "Destination" before closing to the public in 1999.
St. Charles Mayor Don DeWitte, who has witnessed all of the changes at the restaurant site, understood why Onesti was closing the doors.
"I know how hard Ron has worked to create quality entertainment in the downtown, and I can see where he was stretched in both directions (with the theater and the restaurant)," DeWitte said. "He would be racing back and forth on any given night."
In pointing out his time conflicts, Onesti said a recent commitment by Showtime to air a television special based on a comedy show produced at the Arcada would result in a national tour in which Onesti would be "heavily involved."
Onesti said he contemplated hiring another manager to operate the restaurant, but just felt it could not translate to the same atmosphere.
"The restaurant became such an extension of myself, personally, and I wanted it to be that way," Onesti said. "It was all of that stuff that made us different, and it is just hard to hire that."
In the past few weeks, Onesti suffered one of his biggest business setbacks when the city council denied his attempt to bring a mixed martial arts event back to the theater after two successful shows in the past.
But he said it was just a coincidence that he missed out on that business and decided to close the restaurant a week later.
"It (closing the restaurant) had zero to do with that, but I do find the denial of that sport, which has become so much more sophisticated, as a very strange turn of events for us, because we've had the shows in the past," Onesti said.
DeWitte, who has spoken in favor of allowing the sports event at the theater, said he was disappointed to learn this week that a team from Italy was postponing its trip to St. Charles because of the ongoing debate on the council floor.
Onesti also said the Arcada Theater will continue to do well without the restaurant, which was connected in many facets -- with diners before or after shows, and for the entertainers and their workers for after-show dining. Onesti said he would be open to creating that sort of marketing connection with other restaurants in the city.
The property will be for sale, and Onesti believes it will have plenty of interest as a future restaurant or entertainment location in the city.
DeWitte agrees, pointing to the site's history as a key.
"The historic aspects of that building have made it a great destination in the past," DeWitte said. "The unique properties of that building would make it suitable for any potential reuse."

This was a gift for my grandson and he loves it!!!
I bought this for 150 at the black Friday event. After that it went on sale for 129.00 (I imagine because of the bad reviews) I went back to my local Walmart. They honored the online price of 129 without question. I was still a bit leary due to the horrible review I had read.
When putting the car together (which you have to do yourself) it is easy to mistakenly put the motor marked L on the drivers side. Most people I think would do the same thing. However L means the passenger side (which is clearly marked in the instructions) when looking at the car from the front.
This is why the gentlemens review complains that the shifter is reversed. It isn't the shifter is messed up. It is the fact he put the motors in opposite. I almost made the same mistake.
All in all it goes as fast as any other 12v ride on toy my 4 year old has had before.
One thing I would have liked is a larger battery. This battery is much smaller than the ones I have for his last 2 12V ride ons. Also the battery isn't removable. This makes it a bit more of a throw away than other versions I suppose. I am extremely happy with it all in all though and better than that my son is happy.
Thank you for reading my review,
Last Christmas (Dec. 2012) our boys wanted power wheels trucks, since we needed 2 of them we were hesistant with the price. We ended up finding these at an incredible price (almost half of power-wheels brand). We have had them for 9 months already and have not had any problems. It's just a tad-bit slow, but perfect for our 3 year old and 7 year old. Again no problems with parts, very functional and look great. My nephews have power wheels and there is not much difference at all other than $$$. I always read reviews before buying, hope this helps.
We got this for our son's 3rd birthday. It took forever to arrive at the store, but has worked out pretty well. My husband was able to completely assemble it by himself in a few hours, which is great it means it really does need only one person! The seatbelts aren'y super effective but it has kept him in the vehicle. He loves the spare tire area where he keeps a bunch of toys. Our son loves his "cowboy truck".
This jeep has lots of power. Built good. I got it for my grandson for Christmas and he loves it.
purchased for just turned four year old
easy for him to operate foot pedal and turn steering wheel
just fast (12-volts) enough to give him excitement, safely
adult can easily keep up with rolling vehicle
we have found no dangers of turning over
easy to move locations when not being powered by a child
large size grill cover fits perfectly if outdoor storage is necessary
This jeep was just what I expected. Well built and well constructed. Instructions were very easy to follow but took a little longer than twenty minutes. My grandson (9) had no problem driving it over driveways or grassy areas.
I bought this for my son. He loves it.
This product is horrible and the company is horrible to deal with. I got this for my son's birthday. Within two weeks the truck broke. I ordered a new gear box which i had to pay $16.00 for shipping. I fixed that problem and the other gear box broke and the tire stopped working. I ordered both parts paying $16 again for shipping. They have been out of parts for 2 months now. I have emailed the company three times and called weekly. I keep getting told it will be 2-3weeks before i have the parts. I called yesterday and asked to speak with the supervisor, i was told he was at lunch that he would call be back. GUESS WHAT I never got a call back. My son has had this truck for 4 months and has gotten to use it two weeks. PLEASE don't waste your money on this product.
If there was an option to give the Monster Trax SUV negative stars I would do so. SUV was first used in April, by May the back right gear box was completely stripped out. I opened the box and the gears were just shredded to pieces. I tried to buy a new one from the Manufacturer, but they were sold out (probably due to the fact that their product is a piece of junk). 4 weeks later the part was available (for $60). 2 months later the other one went out, which we just ignored and now the thing doesn't even move. 4 months of use is hardly worth the money (no matter how good the deal seems to be). Spend the extra money and get a Power Wheels, or just save it and spend your money on something else.
My 3 year old Granddaughter just loves driving her vehicle, and with 12 volts, this item is VERY reliable. Exceptional product.
bought it for my nephew last christmas and he hasnt been able to ride it in a few months have been sent replacement parts and still don't work so there for a waste of money will never buy anything like this again and i wouldnt recommend no battery power ride ons to anyone SAVE YOUR MONEY
The gears are reversed, forward is reverse and the hi and low gears are working in reverse only. The SUV only works forward very slowly. Very disappointing.
I'm returning this Monster Trax SUV. I'm so upset that it doesn't work! My 3year old son was loving it for the whole 20 mins that it worked!
So...I should of known not to buy this....all the reviews say that the wiring is all messed up..well they are right!!!! My son couldn't even drive in the grass because the battery would shut down then you would have to let it cool down..and he could only ride it on pavement.
Not to mention that the battery when fully charged only lasted about 1/2 hour.
How can a "knock off" version be this bad????? The body of it is really cute...nothing wrong with the body. It's the wiring and the battery size! Why did this company mess up on the wiring? Why did they make such a small battery for this.
So people! Save your money and pay the extra for a POWER WHEELS its well worth it!!!!!
Bought it for my son last Christmas; stopped working after two weeks. It's a two seater, but seats are too small. Wish I would've spent more on something better.
Bought this for my 3 year for christmas. The worst battery ever!! I charged the battery like the instructions said. My son could only ride for about 10-15 min sometimes less and then the battery would die. My son couldnt enjoy it because it was always plugged up being charged. Im going back to powerwheels.
i should have known better than to purchase anything but a power wheels...this thing with my 25 pound 3 year old grand son on it , the battery only lasted 20 minutes , i would NOT recommend it to any one it was a waste of my $175.00.
I bought this for my son during the Black Friday sale for Christmas. Once it warmed up and he was able to ride (in March) in only worked for a month and a half before breaking. It still gets power but it will not go forward or in reverse. It only has a 90 day warranty so I am out the money and he is out of a ride.
Do not buy this!!!! We had to return it the next day it would not work !!

I got the stack ordered also. I hope it comes in a week or two. I ended up adding usb so I can use it with my new Macbook Air. I ordered on Dec. 3, probably a few days before they became backordered. I have a feeling this thread will take off again once the new batch of buyers finally take possession.

I play very few disks anymore. The only Redbook disk (16/44.1) I have done much listening to is the sampler CD that came with my speakers. Every CD I've ever owned is now on my NAS (lossless flac) and usually I use one of the Sonos (2 in the house) to play CDs. When I'm in a HiFi mood It's always 24 bit content and very little of that is 44.1. Having said that, there is very little difference I can detect (if any) between the NAS->DAC->Amp and Oppo->Amp paths. The Oppo is an awesome machine and I've only begun to explore it's features. I'm hoping it will replace my Boxee for playing ad-hoc video content.

the nice thing about an external DAC is that you can do room correction with software if you're using a PC or hardware as in a behringer DEQ 24/96 with the best possible DAC. the oppo has been rated class A by stereophile (if that really even means anything beyond "thanks for advertising with us"), but if you want to do room correction with it, you need to burn CDs, and then burn more if you so much as add acoustic treatment to your room or even move the speakers, if, like me, you still listen to speakers like an old school barbarian. (i do have several headphones and earphones though) that the gungnir has RCA jacks is a big plus to me against the yulong D18. it'd be nice if someone could do a direct comparison between those two as they're very close in price and respectability from everything i've read here so far.
Nope. Only the Pro's have optical. I really wanted a rMBP but don't really need it not a a huge photographer or anything like that. I use optical on my imac and usb on my air I cannot tell a difference. But I do try to use optical if I can, just because from what I have read its supposed to be better, my ears cannot notice a SQ difference though.

I think you mean all current mac's have optical out except the Air.
And the Retina Pros.
It seems like Apple is moving away from SPDIF out, at least on notebooks.
Can someone who actually owns one confirm?
I'm gonna say yes they have optical. http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
Oops! It didn't show up in the first set of specs released by Apple. Guess I should have upgraded, but I want a 13" and quad i7 before changing up.
Can someone who actually owns one confirm?
Typing on one now.... and listening to Bifrost/Lyr/LCD2... via 96kHz S/PDIF Optical.
15" MBP Retina 2.6GHz Intel Core i7
Edited by Iamnothim - 1/10/13 at 4:51pm
It's just a matter of time before we see the 13" retina. Probably by summer which is when the rMBP came out.
Apple seems to have no rhyme or reason when it comes to scheduling mac releases, unlike iPhones and iPads.
Yea. Like releasing The New Ipad just months before The New New Ipad.

Like other audio component and accessories (that shall not be mentioned in this thread) discussions, I have a difficult time
believing one digital processor can sound better than another. Bits is bits. If you have enough horsepower to drive data over an interface, you are good to go.
'Tain't so. :-)
If you've ever been listening to your system when it's lost signal lock, you've heard the actual digital bits, and it's really unpleasant - sounds like a loud burst of static. All DACs have to filter those bits to make music out of them (it's called "decimation"). The vast majority of DACs, including the Schiit DACs, make the sample rate higher (interpolation) before the decimation step in order to avoid certain forms of distortion. Both interpolation and decimation are done by means of filters. Those filters use math known as Fourier transforms. Fourier transforms cannot optimize frequency and time domain response at the same time. When you make one better, the other gets worse. That's just the way the math works. So the filtering in each and every DAC represents a compromise by the maker of the DAC, or the maker of the DAC chip, between best time response and best frequency response. The sound you hear, which is the result of that filtering, is based on the designer's judgment (possibly aided by other listeners) as to which compromise provides the best overall sound quality. So different DACs can and do sound very different based on the different filter designs the DAC makers or DAC chip makers chose.

Smith & Wesson Fixed Blade Knives
The Silver Stag Big Bowie is a beautiful knife. As a collector, I know a quality knife when I see one. I only have one issue with this knife. The metal snap on the side of the sheath scratches the blade when removing or inserting the knife. The scratches were on the knife when I received it. A knife of this quality should have a sheath that totally protects the blade...
The knife looks hand made and it does have potential. It looks like it was rushed and some of the finer, more detailed aspects that could make this good knife into a great knife have been skipped. The knife is reasonably sharp however the angle is way too extreme. I am in the process of hand sharpening the blade and I expect to end up with a small, functional hunting knife with a good blade that I will use when hunting kangaroos and small game on my visits to Australia.
Excellent, compact design; sharp blade; low profile sheath. Well made for the average user. Great price.
I've wanted this knife for a long time. It has surpassed all my expectations. Arrived on time, very sharp. Just a perfect knife.
An Excellent survival knife
THE ULTIMATE MALL NINJA! Awesome. Big globs of solder around guard. At least it's fixed in place and not a rattling guard. Would actually hurt someone so be careful, but this thing is so ... how else do you say mall ninja? I really would not want to be in the woods relying on this knife for survival though. Doesny seem structurally reliable for abuse. It is exactly what I expected and I am very happy with my purchase.
A good knife no secret problems to report. The blade was sharp out of the box, but I like to hone it to my specs. No big deal. The sheath is good except for the fact that It really doesn't do the "scout" position well. The sheath is functional in all other ways. I use this as my "EDC" knife when im outside of work. This product performs as advertised. Shipping was timely and accurate. This is not my first order here at Knife Depot and It wont be my last! Im very satisfied with both product and service.
This knife performs exactly as advertised. The only and I mean only thing I would have to deduct points for is the fact that the knife came with a metal locking thing on the sheath, for use in wearing. I quickly replaced it with some paracord and it rocks! I regularly take this knife deep into the Adirondack mountains and it performs! My service was timely and accurate.

Mythbusters' Tested Blog recently posted a special feature from the Toy Story 2 DVD, in which Pixar's Oren Jacob and Galyn Susman recounted how the files for the movie (just 10gb of data!) were almost lost due to both an erroneous Linux command and a bad backup. The folks at The Next Web: Media followed up with Mr. Jacob, and learned that the movie was actually tossed out and reworked from scratch again nine months prior to a release date that was set in stone, not by the computers, but by the filmmakers themselves: How Pixar's Toy Story 2 was deleted twice, once by technology and again for its own good.

This small monograph deals with the subject clearly, concisely, and intelligently. The study is based on 105 cases of true causalgia seen in military service and treated by sympathectomy, plus a lesser untabulated number treated in civilian practice. The author emphasizes the opinion that causalgia is a clinical entity characterized by pain which is usually burning, and is associated with vasomotor and trophic changes; this entity follows injury to peripheral nerves. It occurs most frequently with injury to the median and sciatic nerves; however, other nerves may be involved. The probable mechanism is thought to be an interaction of impulses between sympathetic and sensory fibers at the site of injury.
The author is of the opinion that the pain can be relieved by appropriate sympathectomy. Procaine block of the sympathetic chain is a valuable diagnostic aid and may also be an effective therapeutic agent. Illustrations are added which show the

Full details
Applications are considered from August to September each year.
UCL Excellence Fellowship: Call for applications in Cell and Developmental Biology.
The Research Department of Cell and Developmental Biology (CDB) is seeking applicants for UCL's Excellence Fellowship Programme. This programme aims to recruit the highest calibre early career researchers from across the globe, supporting them to establish their independent career and become the research leaders of the future. Three fellowships are available in 2016 tenable across the School of Life and Medical Sciences (SLMS). They are highly competitive posts for a fixed term duration of three years, and provide salary and research support costs for the fellow.
CDB was cited in the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment as containing, uniquely within the Division of Biosciences, "an exceptional proportion of world-leading research". CDB has a recent Nobel Prize winner on staff as well as several Fellows of the Royal Society and Academy of Medical Sciences. CDB is a diverse department with research areas that include neuroscience, circadian biology, palaeobiology, stem cell biology, mitochondrial and developmental biology and the genetics of model systems such as Drosophila, C. elegans, zebrafish and mouse.
Fellowships will be awarded to the highest calibre candidates who are able to demonstrate an exceptional track record in relation to their career stage and the potential to submit competitive fellowship or personal award proposals at an early stage of the Excellence Fellowship.
There are no restrictions on nationality; however, you will be required to provide evidence of your eligibility to work in the UK before commencing any fellowship offered. Women are under-represented in CDB. Therefore we strongly encourage applications from female researchers as part of an ongoing commitment to gender equality.
Fellowships are available to clinical and non-clinical candidates who have not yet established an independent research career. Candidates should have been awarded a PhD or equivalent research-related degree prior to application.
NB: The fellowship offers salary and research funding, as well as generous funding supplements for individuals transferring existing, externally funded fellowships to UCL. Excellence Fellows who are not already holding awards are expected to apply to externally funded schemes, including ERC, Royal Society,NERC, BBSRC, and Wellcome Trust. This requires that Excellence Fellowship applicants are eligible and competitive for these awards.
Candidates must identify a senior academic from within CDB who will commit to sponsoring their application and assure provision of research space, resources and facilities. A letter with appropriate sponsor, Departmental, and Divisional signatures is required as part of the application. Preliminary applications, including a CV, a one-page research proposal and confirmation of the agreement from a sponsor, should be sent to Prof. David Whitmore (email@example.com) for review, no later than Friday July 29th, 2016 with a view to a final application being submitted by the 29th August, 2016.
CDB seeks to further strengthen its main areas of research, as listed below, along with a lead contact for further information and support:
Neuroscience – Prof Patricia Salinas (email@example.com)
Development – Prof Stephen Price (email@example.com)
Systems Biology – Dr Chris Barnes (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Cell signalling – Prof Sandip Patel (email@example.com)
Palaeobiology – Prof Susan Evans (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Mitochondrial biology and metabolic disease – Prof Michael Duchen (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Genetics of model systems – Dr Jason Rihel (firstname.lastname@example.com)

Collect Trash and Maintain a Sanitary Establishment with the Proper Garbage Bags
No matter what type of establishment you operate, we have the garbage bags you need to accommodate waste and maintain a sanitary environment. Choose from wholesale garbage bags of different capacities, styles, and material compositions to find the best choice for the type of trash that's produced in your business.
Our selection of garbage bags includes low and high density options, depending on how much strength and flexibility is required to effectively hold the waste produced by your business. Low density bags have thicker gauges and offer the most durability and puncture-resistance, making them great for heavy-duty trash. High density bags are better suited for lightweight trash in your office building or restroom. You'll also find specialty bags for use in your medical facility, warehouse, or eco-friendly establishment.
Low Density Trash Can Liners / Garbage Bags
Low density trash can liners and garbage bags provide superior strength and puncture-resistance. These bags will accommodate heavy, wet trash, and unlike high density bags, they can be used to hold sharp or oddly-shaped waste. Use these bags in your kitchen, hotel, school, or lobby. Low density bags are also stretchable to resist tearing.
High Density Trash Can Liners / Garbage Bags
High density trash can liners and garbage bags are thinner than their low density counterparts. These bags are perfect for holding lightweight trash like paper towels and shredded paper in your office building or public restroom. Thanks to their flexibility, they can still accommodate large loads of waste, as long as the trash isn't sharp or oddly shaped. High density bags also have superior vapor and moisture protection and help contain unpleasant odors.
Specialty Liners and Bags
If you're looking for trash bags for your establishment's specific needs, then these specialty liners and bags are the perfect solutions for you. We carry biohazard bags that will accommodate contagious waste in your hospital, lab, or medical facility, as well as contractor bags that offer ultimate strength for your heavy-duty waste. You can also check out our recycling bags for use in recycling bins and our compostable bags that will naturally degrade.

- Household Paper Towels
- Commercial Toilet Paper and Toilet Tissue
- Facial Tissues
- Feminine Hygiene Products
- Hand Cleaning / Sanitizing Wipes and Dispensers
- Pre-Moistened Sanitizing / Disinfectant Surface Wipes

- Toilet Seat Bands
By stocking up on these wholesale garbage bags, your establishment's cleanup process will be much more efficient. Not only will these garbage bags ensure waste is contained and stored in one place, but they'll also protect trash cans from sticky substances, stains, and odors. We carry bags for almost any application, from foodservice to construction, so you can maintain a clean, safe, and sanitary work place. For other trash disposal supplies, check out our trash cans and recycling bins, feminine hygiene dispensers and receptacles, and hotel room trash cans. If you're wondering where to buy trash can liners / garbage bags, we have a large selection available at the lowest prices.

Excellent trip...Thanks to Viator.
Excellent! Perfect! Informative! Interesting! Fun Fun Fun
Loved it!!!!! Very good tour, except Diamond factory stop way too long, should start at last stop and then for those who are interested in Diamonds it should be an option! Our Tour lady was the BEST!
Forgot her name but she was La CREME of LA CREME she knew it all very classy lady.
Great trip to see the essentials!
Easy way to see Antwerp from Brussels.
Really good half day tour. Would recommend
Tour guide Stefan was high energy, and enthusiastic! Really wanted guests to have an informed and good time. Perfect weather always helps an excursion, but to see all of the flowers at the town center was just over the top. Do go, and hope you too get Stefan and nice blue skies.
This tour was amazing!
best tour in Belgium. Stephen was very knowledgeable and gave us a good information of Antwerp. Will recommend it to anyone anytime.
excellent trip. The guide lady was terrific
Fantastic tour and wonderful guide. I highly recommend this trip. Antwerp is one of my new favorites.
great trip and good information. The guide was good and kept all entertained with stories of the country and city.
nice city, good guide
Antwerp Half Day Trip from Brussels with Brussels City Tours. We were very pleased with this tour. Booking was easy, English is fine, hotel drop off, too. This trip is well organised with a first class guide. If you have a half day to spare when in Brussels, take this trip to Antwerp, you'll be amazed at the history that surrounds this lovely city. We saw everything Antwerp has to offer, and it's a lot ! Was good to see another part of Belgium whilst on our city break in the capital. Very good value for our money . . . .
Very enjoyable. The tour guide was very knowledgeable.
This was a great tour. The cathedral is very impressive. We only wish we could have gone by some of the diamond shops, too. The tour guide was very informative.
This was a very well organized tour. The guide did an excellent job of introducing us to the city from above and below. It was an excellent use of limited time.
Very detailed!
The guide was excellent and you get a great tour of Antwerp. I lived in Belgium with my grandmother but my husband had never been to Europe so I really had to maximize time. You can not go wrong with a Viator tour.
wonderful trip, enjoy everything that we saw.....the guide was excellent......Viator is a great way to book trips
Anette E Danmark
Excellent guide - he guided us through Antwerp in a brillant and personal way. Could not be better.
An excellent way of getting the most significant highlights of Antwerp and even a supplemental information about Brussels because the guide was kind enough to give us a lot of information while leaving Brussels towards the highway.
Visiting the diamond factory was interesting and did not request too much time.
The guide – Stephan – was just 5 stars!
We were dropped at our hotel (like all the other members of the group) which was very comfortable at the end of a somewhat tiring excursion…
I definitely recommend the program!
Gustavo B Canada
very nice tour. The guide had lots of knowledge and gave lots of historical informations. Extreamly interesting. Highly recommended.

Hugo Weaving brings the Red Skull to life in new 'Captain America: The First Avenger' image
One of the biggest no brainers when the casting was announced for Joe Johnston's "Captain America: The First Avenger" was Hugo Weaving as the notoriously evil Red Skull. The only question was whether Mr. Smith from "The Matrix Trilogy" really wanted to play a bad guy again. Much to fans' delight, Weaving came on board and Cap has quite the adversary on his hands.
It's unclear why, but someone at Marvel Studios decided the primarily female magazine and site Entertainment Weekly (who we love when looking for the latest "Glee," "Idol" or Oscar commentary) was the best place to debut a brand new full size image of the aforementioned skull. You can see most of it on this post, but if you want the full bonanza click here.
We'll update this post when Paramount and Marvel provide a clean version for all outlets.
What do you think of Weaving's Red Skull? Share your thoughts below.

Differences between women's and men's unemployment rates over the decades
November 28, 2006
Since the early 1980s, women's and men's unemployment rates have been roughly similar.
In 2000, the jobless rates for women and men were 4.1 and 3.9 percent, respectively, and were at 30-year lows. The rates rose from 2000 to 2003, but then declined in the next 2 years. The unemployment rates for women and men were equal in 2005 at 5.1 percent.
These data are annual averages from the Current Population Survey. For a wide variety of information on women and work, see BLS Report 996, Women in the Labor Force: A Databook (2006 Edition).

All suggestions are highly appreciated.NZThu, Mar 17
BWI to LCH Via IAH 36 Min ConnectionMar 16, 20162Hi, The best all United flights from BWI to LCH has only 36 min fo connection at IAH so even a few min delay and a long wait for terminal train could mean missing the flight. All the options to get to Lake Charles on 5/19 look poor. Anyone have good experience with that 36 min connector race to 2nd flight?JLWed, Mar 16It's possible but as you say it depends on the flight from BWI being on time or preferably early.ZapWed, Mar 16
TransferMar 16, 20165My brother is currently at IAH transfering in terminal E (came from Belize, flying to Amsterdam). But no one he asks has ever heard of a Onestop Immigration and Customs line.

I barely ever see a sign at a US airport that i understand at first sight/reading.ElsWed, Mar 16
Denver to Costa Rica thru IAHMar 16, 20161We're flying United to IAH from Denver for a connection to Costa Rica.

Domestic To InternationalMar 16, 20161Hi, I will be flying in to IAH from PHX at 14:48h by United. My connecting Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt is at 15:55. So that gives me 1h 7m. Is that enough time to make the connection? Will I have to go through security or customs again?ANNWed, Mar 16
International to DomesticMar 16, 20163Hi, im arriving from Singapore to IAH Terminal E at 1405 and departing on United (operated by express jet) at 1535 to Memphis. Will I have time ? Must I clear customs first, retrieve baggage and re-checkin ?KCELTue, Mar 15There are no nonstop flights from Singapore to Houston. What airline are you flying into Houston and where are you stopping on the way from Singapore to Houston? Are all your tickets on the same reservation or is the flight to Memphis on a separate reservation.ZAPTue, Mar 15Hello, apologies. It's SG > Moscow > IAH. SG > IAH is on Singapore Airlines while the second ticket IAH to Memphis is a separate reservation on United Airlines. Appreciate your help ZAPKCELWed, Mar 16OK, so you will arrive in Terminal D, go through US Immigration, claim your bags, go through US Customs, then take the subway train to your departure terminal (likely Terminal B), re-check your bags with United and go through security and to your departure gate. 90 minutes is really not enough time to do that.ZAPWed, Mar 16
Calculating connection and TSA checkpoints timeMar 17, 20162Do you have to pass TSA checkpoints if you arrive to IAH at gate C or E and depart from gate B?MMPTue, Mar 15No, you do not, the skyway train connects all terminals inside security.ZAPTue, Mar 15
Transiting Houston from London on way to GuatemalaMar 16, 20165I just noticed the connections for journey booked through an agent- landing supposed to be at 1915 in Terminal E to connect at 2125 in Terminal C- All United Airlines- will I have to pick up my luggage as well as getting through security? The time seems adequate but any delay in landing, or security allied to needing to wait to identify and carry luggage would make it all very problematic- as I am no longer able to run from terminal to terminal! Will the luggage be checked through?DavidaTue, Mar 15Both flights are in Terminal E. Since you are on an International to International connection you do not have to claim your bags and can use the Onestop Immigration and Customs line in Houston. You should have enough time.ZAPTue, Mar 15you have to go through immigration and customs and recheck your bags .If this is your first stop in the US , you have to claim luggage and recheck it.samTue, Mar 15Ignore Sam, he is apparently not aware of Onestop for International to International transfers on United through Houston.ZAPTue, Mar 15Thanks- to all of you- BUT @ ZAM- I thought onestop only works if you have hand luggage only?DavidaWed, Mar 16

AsenetAseTue, Mar 15Only United uses both Terminal E and Terminal B. What airlines are you flying? Are your tickets on the same reservation or two separate ones?ZAPTue, Mar 15Arriving with Emirates (terminal e), then United (terminal b). Two separate reservations.

Connection for international flightsMar 16, 20162Hi I hope you can help me. I'm flying from London to Cancun via Houston IAH and just want to ask if I will have to clear immigration, collect my bags and re-check in? I'm arriving in on United Airlines at 1800 into Terminal E and then depart from Terminal E on United Airlines for Cancun at 1918. I booked the tickets through an agent and have only just seen the connection time which looks a little tight. Could you advise what steps I will have to go through at IAH for this connection? Thanks in advance!RVennMon, Mar 14You will not have to claim your bags since you are on an International to International connection on United through Houston. You can use the "Onestop" desk for Immigration and Customs and then you will go through security. However, your connection is still very short and well below the advised minimum for an International to International connection through Houston. I would advise against using that travel agent in the future.ZAPMon, Mar 14Thanks for your quick reply. I was a little surprised as well however they are a reputable company and hence my concern!! I will make sure to run through the airport wherever possible. I realise that you may not be able to advise on this but do you know if United would put me on the next flight if I missed the connection? Thanks again.RebeccaVennWed, Mar 16

EWR to Montego Bay, Jamaica via IAHApr 11, 20163I'm flying from Newark (EWR) to Montego Bay (MBJ) via Houston. My flight from Newark arrives at 0940 and my flight to Jamaica departs at 1015. I'm flying United and it was done on the same reservation via a third party website. I'm very concerned that the 35 minutes will not be long enough for me to make my connection (and definitely to short for any checked bags to make it). Should I be changing my flight?bg08cSun, Mar 13It's not impossible. I wouldn't have booked it but since it's a legal connection they aren't obligated to let you change it without paying a change fee.ZAPSun, Mar 13Hello Bg08c, I am just wondering if you are able to make the connection. I booked same flight in May, I am jut wondering if I keep the ticket or change the ticket. Thankssm508Mon, Apr 11

Billy Graham: Khan Needs Mayweather To Age, To Win
By Terence Dooley
WBA/IBF lightweight champion Amir Khan is convinced that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is slowing down, however veteran trainer Billy Graham believes the 34-year-old WBC welterweight champion would have to slip considerably in order for 'King' Khan to post an upset win. Consider, Floyd had massive punch success stats against Victor Ortiz, Shane Mosley and Juan Manuel Marquez. However, Amir often registered in the low twenties against Paul McCloskey and an ancient Zab Judah. In terms of accuracy the two fighters are on different planets.
Still, some argue that Amir will only need to up his output to increase his accuracy, and chances are that he will throw more and miss more, all the while leaving himself wide open for counters.
Graham believes that Khan's best chance of beating Floyd is to pay heed to the maxim 'time destroys everything'.
"The longer Amir waits the more chance he has," predicted Graham. "Amir is improving physically and in other ways. But I just don't think that anyone but Old Father Time beats Floyd. I've always known how great he is; he never had enough venom for me but that may have changed."
