Palm Springs' Best Restaurants for Dining in the Desert
Variety is the spice of life and it's also the defining principal of the Palm Springs restaurant scene. Local restaurants offer a mix of flavors and styles sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. The Coachella Valley's best restaurants range from the upscale and elegant to the hole-in-the-walls servings some of the desert's best-kept secrets.
Most Palm Springs restaurant owners and chefs are as well known as their establishments, and it's not uncommon to run into an owner or a chef while dining around Palm Springs. Many restaurants update their menus regularly, incorporating new trends, seasonally produce and customer requests to serve food that truly pleases the customer. A number of restaurants also incorporate prix fixe menus, allowing diners to sample a few of the chef's new or signature dishes at a set price.
Local restaurants focus just as much on their ambiance as they do their dishes, often excelling in both. Restaurants are often inspired in their décor by modernism, retro style, old Palm Springs and the desert's natural beauty. Restaurants like Le Vallauris offer outdoor dining on the tree-canopied patio, allowing patrons to enjoy dinner under the stars. Other restaurants, like Melvyn's, remain true to their classic Hollywood roots, while restaurants Spencer's master the classics for all three meals of the day. These ten restaurants are just a sample of the variety found in the Palm Springs restaurant scene, and they offer some of the best dishes, ambiance and service found in the Coachella Valley.
Pacifica Seafood Restaurant
While Palm Springs might be more than 100 miles away from the ocean, locals can still enjoy fresh seafood at Pacifica Seafood Restaurant in Palm Desert. This fine dining restaurant offers fresh catches daily, and popular Pacifica dishes include the Surf 'n' Turf, which includes steak and lobster, and the Seared Ahi Tuna. For a seafood splurge, try the Butter-Poached Australian Lobster Tail, which is just as decadent as it sounds. Not a seafood lover? Don't fret--Pacifica offers plenty of beef, chicken and vegetarian options, too. For before- or after-dinner drinks, pull up a stool at the Vodka Bar, which boasts more than 140 different types of vodka from around the world. (7606748666)
DISH Creative Cuisine
Although this contemporary American restaurant in a Cathedral City strip mall might look unassuming on the outside, DISH has quickly become one of the most notable players in the desert's fine dining scene. Serving up gastronomy at its finest, DISH focuses on exquisite dishes with unexpected pairings. Take, for example, the crab cakes prepared with sweet potatoes, roasted beets, panko and a ginger plum sauce, a rich blend of flavors that's a guest favorite at DISH. Entrees like the tenderloin also come with unexpected touches like a coffee and spice crust and pomegranate red wine reduction. DISH is well-known for its amuse bouche, or one-bites, that keep the flavors coming between courses. ((760) 832-6526)
Workshop Kitchen + Bar
The Uptown Palm Springs district is known for its modernist architecture, retro art and chic d--cor. Now, a farm-to-table restaurant is blending the modern architecture that made the city famous with a menu inspired by locally sourced ingredients. After much anticipation, Workshop Kitchen + Bar opened in the historic El Paseo building on Palm Canyon Drive. Chefs and owners Michael Beckman and Joseph Mourani work with roughly a dozen local farms, many within an hour of the Coachella Valley, to source fresh ingredients for their rotating menu. Menu items include market veggie enchiladas, a huevos rancheros bowl and slow-roasted lamb tajine. A farmhouse-style table and a selection of large format plates allow patrons to meet new friends over a shared ribeye or grilled chicken. Combined with an alcoholic punch bowl that can serve up to 12 people, you're not likely to dine alone at Workshop. ((760) 459-3451)
TRIO Restaurant
TRIO Restaurant prides itself on being where Palm Springs eats and drinks--and for good reason. This trendy restaurant serves a variety of American dishes in a chicly decorated dining area that embraces Palm Springs' modernism roots. The dishes are well-prepared and elegantly served, but lack the pretentiousness often found in other dining establishments. The staff strives to make every diner's experience impeccable, from offering the perfect recommendations to being attentive throughout the meal. Best of all, TRIO tends to draw a rather friendly crowd, making it easy to make a few new Palm Springs pals in TRIO's bar area. This restaurant is perfect for families, couples and large groups. ((760) 864-8746)
Jake's Palm Springs
If you're in downtown Palm Springs and looking for fresh lunch options, be sure to stop by Jake's Palm Springs. Named for the owners' beloved West Highland Terrier, this popular restaurant is known for its fresh fare and superior service. The pet-friendly courtyard is also perfect for a leisurely lunch filled with people watching. For a hearty lunch, try the chicken milanese sandwich, a breaded chicken breast served with melted gruyere cheese, greens and dijonaisse on a ciabatta roll. Be sure to check out the custom cocktail menu, too, which includes a cactus pear margarita and Bloody Mary served with horseradish-infused vodka. ((760) 327-4400)
Melvyn's Restaurant
If you've ever wondered where Hollywood stars like Frank Sinatra and Elizabeth Taylor dined after shooting their latest films, head to Melvyn's at the Ingleside Inn. No detail was overlooked in the design and decoration of Melvyn's, which exudes old world charm. Guests are given a glimpse of Old Hollywood's glamour as they step back in time when entering this swanky restaurant. The dishes at Melvyn's range are just what you'd imagine Old Blue Eyes himself dined on (think Steak Diane, filet mignon stuffed with oysters and wilted spinach salad) and are served by waiters in classy white jackets. After dinner, grab a Manhattan at the bar, appropriated named Casablanca, and enjoy live music from the piano bar. (760-325-2323)
Le Vallauris Restaurant
Le Vallauris is one of the finest culinary destinations in Palm Springs. Located just off Palm Canyon Drive in a historic ranch-style house, Le Vallauris specializes in five-star dining and first-class service. The menu includes upscale dishes like wild boar pate, Maine lobster ravioli and seared whitefish with mustard sauce. Dine inside surrounded by tapestries and Louis XV furnishings or head to the outdoor patio for one of the best al fresco dining options in the desert. Covered by a canopy of lush trees and surrounded by fragrant flower bushes, the outdoor patio is an elegant option for lunch or dinner. Perfect for date night or dinner with friends, Le Vallauris is commonly considered one of the classiest dining options in Palm Springs. (760-325-5059, 888-525-5852)
Copley's on Palm Canyon
Star power is on call at this Uptown Palm Springs restaurant; not only was it a hangout for Cary Grant, but it's also under the masterful tutelage of celebrity chef Andrew Manion Copley, and it attracts personalities like Anderson Cooper. Diners can't get enough of the romantic, open-air patio in the garden, and the sublime cuisine, informed by Copley's tenure at restaurants across the globe, includes Muscovy duck breast, seared Scottish salmon, lobster pot pie, and tandoori chicken breast. A broad wine list arranged by type promises an appropriate accompaniment. Terrific service is a pleasant perk, as is the onsite herb garden. (760-327-9555)
Spencer's Restaurant
If you're searching for a lunch restaurant soaked in quintessential Palm Springs style, make a reservation at Spencer's Restaurant. This award-winning restaurant in Palm Springs serves American fare influenced by French and Pacific Rim cuisine, and attracts locals, tourists and celebrities alike. At midday, the express lunch option--served with soup or salad, bread, an entree and pastry, is perfect for a filling midday meal. Other options include a lobster club sandwich, wild mushroom ravioli, an Ahi tuna nicoise salad. Reserve a table on the canopied outdoor patio to enjoy a Palm Springs lunch surrounded by Mount San Jacinto, palm trees and sunshine. (7603273446)

Like always Anthony turns out great work. His recent run of post-apocalyptic and sci-fi characters have been especially useful, and will be filling out several future products of mine. Good stuff.
Definitely the best spaceship set stock art ever made. Thank you.
Shaman seldom disappoints, and this is no exception. In addition to the svelte creature on the cover doing her best to sell this set to you, you get a pair of colorful halflings, an elven druid and an old sage. Each work is well done but also sufficiently generic to fit into any fantasy product. If you're looking for stock art for a fantasy work, this one is excellent.
The artwork is certainly high quality but I have one minor gripe. I thought I was going to be downloading a zip folder that I could easily open with windows so I could extract the artwork. However, I got a .rar file instead. I had to search the web for a free program I could download to open the file to get the artwork. But overlooking that I'm happy with the purchase.
Overall a great collection of stock art pictures perfect for tucking into the corner of a character sheet.
Only nitpick is that it would have been nice to have each picture in a separate file so the user wouldn't have to clip them apart in a photo editor.
This is frankly some of the best stock art I've seen, especially at this level of quality and detail. Flexible, too. The license is great, too, and as an indie publisher I really appreciate it.
High quality artwork. I used several in a recently published book. I love having the PSD file. Makes life SO much easier. Wish more artists would do that.
Great price for 3 images that could be used as covers. You have to pick these up.
All of Shaman's Stock Art offerings are excellent quality. Great color and high resolution.

Two medical-marijuana dispensaries in New Jersey announced a month ago that they would soon produce cannabis edibles, lotions, lozenges, and a patch that would slowly deliver pain relief. Many patients have been anxiously waiting for these new products to become available as it would allow them to use marijuana to alleviate symptoms associated with cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other serious ailments without having to smoke.
But the rosy outlook seen in May has withered. In a four-year-old medical-marijuana program marred by missteps and delay, the edibles are the latest to face a halting and bewildering state approval process.

The culmination of Raymarines' autopilot expertise, FLIR Systems' R&D, and advanced aerospace guidance technology, Evolution Ai™ control algorithms deliver a new level of accurate autopilot control.
Typical Autopilot systems consist of three main components: a course computer / processor, a drive mechanism, and a control head.
Find out more about each component below:
Our Evolution autopilot systems perceive their environment and instantly calculate and evolve steering commands to maximize performance. The result is precise and confident course keeping, regardless of vessel speed or sea conditions - Evolution autopilots steer so accurately they can save fuel and get you to your destination faster.
The Drive unit is the part that interfaces with your vessel's steering system to keep you on the right course. Raymarine has a broad range of drive units to match almost any type of steering system - our Evolution Autopilots accommodate hydraulic, mechanical and power assisted stern drive systems.
Complete your Evolution autopilot system with a p70 or p70R autopilot control head. The p70 and p70R feature vibrant colour displays and are powered by Raymarine's intuitive LightHouse user interface. LightHouse organises all options into simple menu structures, so with Evolution's Automagic 3-step setup process you will be up and running in minutes.
EV-1 autopilots consist of a Control Head, EV-1 Sensor, Autopilot Control Unit (ACU) and drive unit. The drive unit (inboard mechanical/hydraulic or cockpit mounted), and correct ACU for your vessel is dependent on the steering system and displacement of the vessel itself.
Removeable Cockpit Autopilots for Tiller Steered Yachts. Tiller pilots have consistently been the world's most popular pilot.
The EV-100 wheel pilot comprises a fully enclosed wheel-drive for simple installation and superb autopilot performance.
The Raymarine EV-100 Tiller Pilots are perfect for large tiller steered yachts up to 6,000kg (13,200 lbs) displacement.
Perfect for vessels with single outboard engines and hydraulic steering, install the entire system above or below decks as required.

SAINT LOUIS ~ syncroni ~ €it¥ , Missouri
Poster Handle
Post Content
I'm not saying that the city that i was born in & lived in for my whole life is the center of the universe but the more that I uncover the more I begin to wonder. Id like to start this thread by talking about all of the strange and important facts or "conincedences" that I have found pertaining to St.Louis but there are other places suppounding St.louis such as southern IL, the NW Arkansas Ozarks region , and the NW Missouri Ozarks region, I would like to say that ever since I started instigating and researching my hometown & surroundings , I have wanted to & even encouraged others to do the same with their surroundings. I believe some people if not everyome live and or born in paticular places for a reason. I think most people would be suprised to find out the history and current events of their surroundings other than being dependent on the local or national media. So I mentioned some places other than St.Louis but they are are surrounding St.louis and I would eventually like to include facts and stories about the places I mentioned earlier as well.
Not everything I mention here will make sense to everyone but hopefully if just one person begins to thinks, if indeed their is any truth involved in anything i provide , then I will be more than happy. So at the risk of being ridiculed , nothing new, I will Probobly share some pretty weird theories and connections , which may or may not be Coincedences. For the record I do not believe in Coincedence but with everything their is an exception to almost every rule and someti.
I have more than a few theories and recently things have begun to happen more and more and it also seems like things are starting to fall into place with more and more dots starting to be connected. I'm not sure when or where I'm gonna start so if your curious and want to check out the thread then I would suggest that you just bookmark this or bump it and check it every so often. I'm in the middle of other things at the moment but I hope to get something started on here tomorrow. Thanks
YoU~€it¥~abE23 1554286
i know somethings from living in the area. pick a topic. i might be able to help you.
Ley lines
Anonymous Coward 1554286
what i know about the lay line is that they are a powerful source. At Cahokia mounds where the lines lay are. As far as I know there was never a body found there or any shootings. the citys that are around them are washington park, national city, state park and granite city. the citys are very poor, and bad to walk in to. even the police are not to be trusted. but if you take a 1 mile circle around the mounds area it is safe to be in. i would never walk down when stairs when i got to the top of it. i am scared of heights. i think the united nations own the mounds but i am not for sure. I never did like that area. or even the granite city area. i have been sick with copd since i was a kid. it is a rare form. i say it is from the steel mills. but they would never admit to it. people in granite city age real fast and don't look right. i know alot of it is from the drugs but, i will say that the metal flakes that fly though the air in granite city has something to do with it too. i started comming to the ozarks on vacations in 1988. and there is something here that draws you here. it make you feel as if you are home and to never look back. you feel comfortable down here. i will never go back to granite again.
Very interesting perspective and it makes total sense. I'm just curious about one minor thing you mentioned. So did you say it was or wasn't a big deal going down monks mound steps with your fear of heights?
I have always been very very skeptical of granite city for some reason.

CHICAGO — The Intellectual Freedom Round Table (IFRT) of the American Library Association (ALA) announces that The New Jersey Library Association (NJLA) Intellectual Freedom Committee (IFC) is the recipient of the 2014 Gerald Hodges Intellectual Freedom Chapter Relations Award .
CHICAGO — Dark forces conspire online to undermine privacy, compromise accounts, stalk, troll and just plain creep us out. Libraries have a longstanding tradition of protecting their users' privacy and confidentiality, but often fail to take basic steps to protect patrons' use of their public access computers and digital resources.
CHICAGO – Each year on May 1, librarians, library users and privacy advocates come together to observe Choose Privacy Week - an annual event promoting the importance of individual privacy rights. But protecting and promoting privacy in libraries and in patrons' lives shouldn't be a one-off annual event. Libraries and librarians should provide privacy programming and resources throughout the year, whether the topic is government surveillance, data mining, identity theft, or threats to personal privacy from implementation of emerging technologies.

Privacy and the "internet of things" will be among the topics on the agenda for the ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) and Office for Information Technology Policy (OITP). ALA also will join members and sister library organizations at the joint "Innovative Booth for Libraries" March 7-11, 2014.
CHICAGO — The Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF) and American Library Association (ALA) on Friday joined a broad range of organizations and bookstores in filing an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court (PDF) in a case potentially affecting the right to challenge laws that infringe on the First Amendment prior to their enforcement.
CHICAGO — Librarians face adversity every day, whether they are defending a book that has been challenged or fighting to provide services on a limited budget.
If you know a similarly beleaguered librarian, now is your chance to give that person some much needed recognition by nominating them for the Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced With Adversity, a new American Library Association (ALA) award.
CHICAGO — The American Library Association (ALA) Council, at a Tuesday session during the ALA Midwinter Meeting & Exhibits, approved the new Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced with Adversity.
The award, which ALA intends to present at its Annual Conference in Las Vegas, recognizes a librarian who "has faced adversity with integrity and dignity intact." It will be given annually to a deserving librarian. If a suitable candidate is not found, the award will not be presented that year.
CHICAGO — The American Library Association (ALA) has released a digital supplement focusing on the two-year News Know-how news literacy project.
The project, which was conducted in 2012 and 2013 by the ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) using grant funds provided by the Open Society Foundations, involved librarians, journalists, news ethicists and students nationwide. Using libraries as "newsrooms," high school students were taught how to engage in a nonpartisan, critical analysis of news and information.

The Jura speciality "Truite du Doubs" gets its name from the river that forms its border. Even just fishing in one of Europe's most beautiful rivers is an experience. Simply seasoning with salt, pepper and parsley and flambéing with wine brings out the delicate flavour of this fish. Seasoned with "Butterflöckli" (butter flakes) and served with bread and Chablis or any other sparkling dry wine, this is a true culinary delight.
In the following restaurants trouts from the Doubs River can be ordered:
Hôtel du Doubs, Goumois Auberge du Theusseret, Goumois Restaurant La Verte-Herbe, Goumois Hôtel-restaurant des Rives du Doubs, Les BrenetsRestaurant Bellevue, Les Brenets Hôtel de la Couronne, St –Ursanne Hôtel du Bœuf, St-UrsanneHôtel-restaurant Maison Monsieur (Biaufond), La Chaux-de-FondsRestaurant de Tariche l'Auberge de Clairbief

Puppy growl,Adult growl and hey we got a problem growl??
As requested
I dealt with growling issues with my guy. When he first met company he made it clear that he was not a fan of people. Maybe it was fear? But it struck me that he was flat out not messing around! No barking no moving around just a cold hard stare and a low deep growl!
I did not know if he had any past bad experiences but something was off. A (low growl greeted out first guest I used a muzzle (fabric muzzle) and instituted a "No you can't touch way dog policy" after awhile no more muzzle, Ignored people and moved on crossed the street or stepped aside,if I spoke to someone he went behind me. Still no touch for a bit more time. Then when I could read him and knew what he looked like when he was calm, I finally allowed people to touch him...no problem.
He learned what normal interactions look like. People safe dog, kid safe dog today..no dog parks for the record.
Other time I heard will growl is when he protected me when I slipped on ice while protecting him! I heard that same growl but much much louder and this time I remember seeing his teeth!
Last dog (there were two) decided to pursue a different life choice! In seven years I have only heard "that" growl twice. If my guy growls he means business!
But..apparently he has a cat near his bowl grow also?? Cats drift near his bowl, I say "Rocky"
he stops goes back to eating, cats move on.
He is 99.9% cat proof never snapped at them, I think the cats do it on purpose. Kinda of the way it's been for seven years. I've deemed that growl as not being worth fixing.
He's in my sight, the cats are insight, He doesn't stare at them, he's just aware of them them when he eats.
That growl, I let go...because if no growl then what??

ACCES Blood Bank
Founded in 2004, the BluePearl-affiliated ACCES Blood Bank is committed to providing high-quality blood products to veterinary hospitals across the Western United States. The availability of blood is made possible by the blood bank's volunteer dog and cat donors who, through their donations, help save hundreds of lives a year.
Pets can require a blood transfusion for many of the same reasons humans do, such as injuries, surgeries, or when diseases cause the body to destroy its own blood cells. The BluePearl-affiliated ACCES Blood Bank relies on our invaluable dog and cat donors to help fill this need and, in turn, make the difference in the life of a critically ill or injured pet.
As the pet population grows, the number of dogs and cats requiring blood transfusions increases as well. The need is great. Your pet's donation can ultimately provide the gift of life.
Our Commitment
The ACCES Blood Bank is dedicated to providing a safe and plentiful blood supply to animals in need. Our goal is to ensure that all cats and dogs who present to emergency facilities or family veterinary practices across the region have access to life-saving blood products.
How it Works
- Prospective blood donors schedule an appointment for a brief veterinary exam at BluePearl Veterinary Partners where a small amount of blood is drawn for typing and testing.
- The blood sample is tested for infectious diseases in accordance with the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) consensus statement guidelines for blood donors (at no cost to the owner).
- If blood-screening results show your pet is able to donate, prospective donors return for their first donation and additional blood screening.
- Once approved, the new ACCES Blood Bank donor will be asked to commit to donating once every two to three months for three years.
- At each donation, a brief exam is performed prior to donating.
- For dogs, the entire donation process takes approximately 30 minutes. (This includes time for the exam and for the donor to enjoy their treats and affection from the staff.)
- Cats require a mild anesthetic, so their donation is a drop-off appointment.The donation takes about four hours, and you will be notified when your pet is available to be picked-up.
Blood Donor Benefits
- Physical exam by a licensed veterinarian
- Complete annual blood screening (information shared with family veterinarian)
- Active and retired donors are eligible for one free transfusion if needed
- Free toy with each donation
- Plenty of treats and attention at each donation
- Knowing that your pet is saving lives with each donation
Eligibility Requirements
Dog and cat donors need to match the following criteria to donate blood:
- Healthy and well-behaved
- Current on vaccines
- One to six years of age
- Dogs at least 55 pounds
- Cats at least 10 pounds
- Never had a transfusion
- Not used for breeding
- Not taking any long-term medication (flea preventative is okay)
- Cats indoor only
Questions? Please call 206.364.1660 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Blood Donation Questions and Answers
Do dogs and cats have different blood types like people?
Dogs have a numbered blood typing system called Dog Erythrocyte Antigen (DEA) system. DEA 1.1 is the main blood type and dogs can be positive or negative. DEA 1.1 Negative is a universal blood type and is safe to be given to any other dog. Cats have three different blood types: A, B, and AB. Type A is the most common with type B found in about 5% of the population. There is no universal blood type for cats.
Is blood donation risky or painful to my pet?
The donation process is quick and painless. The most common potential side effect is bruising at the site of collection, but that goes away within two to three days. The amount of blood taken is not enough to alter your pet's health. The body replaces red cells taken naturally. Dogs and cats can safely donate every six weeks.
How much blood is drawn at the time of donation?
Each dog donates approximately 450 mls (one pint or two cups) at each donation. Each cat donates 53mls (two ounces) at each donation. For cats, fluids lost during the donation is replaced by administering subcutaneous fluids.
Will my pet need to be sedated or restrained to give blood?
The majority of dogs are able to sit still for the donation with no problem. On rare occasions, an excitable dog may need a light sedation to calm them during their donation. On the other hand, cats do better with a short-acting anesthetic. They are carefully monitored and only asleep during the 10 to 25 minutes needed for the donation process.
Why do dogs and cats need blood transfusions?
Many situations require the use of blood products including trauma, ingestion of poisons or surgical complications. Some animals also have immune problems that can cause them to have low red blood cells or platelets.
What kind of commitment is required?
Due to the high cost of screening prospective donors, your pet is asked to commit to 12 donations. (Donating once every two to three months for three years.)

Lack of Awareness About RTE Act Keeping Disadvantaged Kids Out of Private Schools: Survey
By PTI - NEW DELHI
Published: 28th January 2014 09:51 PM
Last Updated: 28th January 2014 09:51 PM
Only 50 per cent of the 35,000 seats reserved in private schools for children belonging to disadvantaged groups and the economically weaker sections were filled last year in the national capital, a survey done by an NGO has found.
The main reason for the above was a lack of awareness among parents about the Right to Education Act, which stipulates that private schools shall reserve 25 per cent of their seats at the entry level for children belonging to 'disadvantaged groups' and 'weaker sections', found the survey which was conducted last year in November by NGO Indus Action.
According to the survey, only 3 per cent of the parents were aware of the provisions of the RTE Act, 2009.
The NGO today held a workshop for 70 AAP volunteers from across Delhi as part of the party's initiative to identify families from the economically weaker sections (EWS) and inform them about the RTE Act. The NGO also provided training on how to approach schools seeking entrance with nursery and school admissions currently underway in the city.
"Lack of awareness about the law and difficulty in obtaining the necessary certificates from government authorities are the major roadblocks due to which around 1.5 lakh children struggle to get admission in private schools every year," said programme manager Aniket Doegar of Indus Action.
Even if some families manage to overcome the above hurdles, the schools refuse to accept their forms, which is again against the law, Doegar added.
According to the Delhi government's education coordinator, Amit Mishra, the initiative has been taken to help children belonging to EWS get admission in recognised private schools.
"As per the initiative, these volunteers will go from door to door and educate EWS families on how to use the provisions of the RTE Act" to ensure that their children get admission in private schools, Mishra said.

At midnight tonight, in sold-out theaters everywhere, frenzied fans will finally get to see The Hunger Games in its glorious entirety. Serious Games fans will no doubt be watching for the slightest inaccuracies, so we honed in on Panem's soon-to-be-heroine Katniss Everdeen ... or what she was wearing, anyway. Between squealing along with all the other super-fans at a screening earlier this week, we took notes on the movie's interpretations of all her clothes, from hunting in District 12's woods to unwittingly flirting with Peeta on a Capitol building's rooftop. To help you temper your wardrobe expectations (no one appreciates that person whispering in the cinema, "But the backpack is supposed to be orange!"), we rated all of the girl on fire's looks on our very scientific book-to-movie accur-o-meter.

The Christian Emergency Network (CEN) has urged people along the East Coast to leave their homes and churches as soon as possible.
"A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it…'Proverbs 22:3 NIV'," stated the alert released by CEN.
The Christian Post talked to Misti McHatton, communications director of CEN, who said the organization offered Christian responses to natural disasters. more >>
With Hurricane Irene expected to make landfall this weekend, people were taking to Twitter to remember one of America's most destructive hurricanes, Katrina. Ironically, the sixth anniversary of the storm's landfall is just three days away.
Although some users on Twitter were wondering how the term "Katrina" had made it onto the social network site's top 10 Trend list, others were remembering how being unprepared for the 2005 storm wreaked havoc on the nation.
One Twitter user, Kim Bondy (@KimBondy), offered useful advice: "Hurricane Preps: Get lots of cash from the ATM and lots of singles and 5's. ATMS were shut down after #katrina. Cash is power." more >>
Hurricane Irene's maximum sustained winds have dropped to 105 mph, the National Hurricane Center reported Friday morning.
The U.S. East Coast is bracing itself for the storm's arrival, but the center now says it does not expect Hurricane Irene to strengthen before it hits the East Coast.
The hurricane is now a Category 2 storm with winds of 96 mph to 110 mph, which does not present as big of a threat of damage as previously touted. Winds of that speed are of course considered very dangerous though, and certainly capable of causing widespread destruction. more >>
Several counties in North Carolina have been busy preparing for hurricane Irene, which is in the direct path of the southeastern state.
North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue issued a state of emergency Wednesday night for counties east of I-95. She has also requested a pre-landfall emergency declaration from President Barack Obama to ensure that the state will be provided with federal assistance in conjunction with relief efforts.
"Hurricane Irene poses a significant threat to our state and we need to take appropriate action to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors, along with property and infrastructure along our coast," she told the Gaston Gazette. more >>
NEW YORK – As Hurricane Irene approaches, Brooklyn residents are preparing for mass evacuations, as hospitals and nursing homes have already begun moving patients to safer areas of the city.
The New York City government has categorized areas of Brooklyn into how much risk is posed by the hurricane, with "Zone A" being the highest. A total of five hospitals and eight nursing homes are in Zone A and those facilities are contacting families of patients and working with the NYC Office of Emergency Management to move their residents into safer areas.
Finding proper locations and helping patients adjust to the changes in a medical environment are among the challenges in moving thousands of people in need of medical assistance. more >>
Hurricane Irene is taking over the East Coast and warning evacuations have now expanded into New York and Connecticut.
The storm, which has already pounded the Bahamas, has taken a "turn for the worst" and is now being forecast as moving westward to the U.S. mainland.
Other East Coast areas along North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey have already been told to evacuate with hundreds of thousands of people moving to safety. more >>

So am I, but I'm also sick of Harry Reid controlling the agenda.
This is a major loss for you and you don't even realize it or care.
You are why Democrats succeed.
David Dryer of CA. NOT RUNNING!!!!!
Good riddance to the witch who gave us Obamacare. I bet she was going to lose her primary. Obamacare is that unpopular, even in Maine
The witch could have killed it in committee, but voted it out. She then voted no on the final passage to save face. That is unforgivable. .
RE: Obamacare is that unpopular, even in Maine
But my bet is Maine still goes Obama in 2012 regardless.
I already see the following states as a lock for Obama regardless of how bad the economy goes (and their electoral votes):
Connecticut 7 ,
Delaware 3,
Masschusetts 12,
Rhode Island 4
Vermont 3,
Maine 4,
Maryland 10
California 55 ,
Oregon 7,
Washington 11,
Illinois 21,
Hawaii 4,
That's 190 of the 270 needed to win right there.
You are so right. She is despicable, but then we already knew that.
You are most likely right. she is most likely doing this to help the Rats maintain their Senate majority. She always was a RINO.
Good news!
Hopefully the current Governor of Maine will decide to run for the seat!
———Hopefully the current Governor of Maine will decide to run for the seat!-——
That's my hope. He has quite a life story.
Gadzooks-- Hot damn... and General Jackson! About time!!!
Oh spare me your drama.
I'm not even going to ask you to explain this comment.
"Better deal" is but one possibility. However, regarding the question itself:
That is the right question.
If this is true, those folks need to stop drinking their own cool aid.
And this guy thought his car is actually worth something too, until he tried to sell it:
Yes, they set it up without the 17th.
You have to understand, that wasn't the reason why she resigned. When a politician says why they are resigning, that is almost always not the reason.
Until there is further information, it is likely for the same reason every other democrat or faux-Republican has done so, because it's going to be a tough year for liberals and she wanted to screw over the Republicans as best she could.
You post to me: "You have to understand, that wasnt the reason why she resigned. When a politician says why they are resigning, that is almost always not the reason."
It always amuses me when anyone starts out a message with 'You have to understand..."
No, actually, I don't have to.
You state your OPINION, which may be true and may not be. Might it be better to start with something like: "I believe.." or "In my opinion," or "It seems to me" ?
But then, maybe you have an inside line to Olympia?
BTW, did you ever see this?
Of course, you probably have other reps giving a harder assessment against ObamaCare?
Here fighting against 1099
Now, from the above, you will likely deduce that I am for Olympia.
No so. But I AM not for blanket uninformed condemnation.
It just may be that the last 2 years, with bill after bill being sent to the senate from the Republican Congress only to be ignored by Reid, combined with anything else the Administration can't get the Congress to "obey' is simply and with malice aforethought, bypassing the congress AND the rule of law and ruling as a king through E.O.'s.
This prevents ANYthing from our side getting done. In addition, she is in a position to know much more that we ever will about what is going on behind the scenes - things none of us may be able to stop.
It just may be that she is worn out trying to hold back the tide - at least in her public role. I will be looking to see what she is going to do in the future, working outside the system.
I'll hold my fire until the feathers settle...as, unlike you, I simply don't know if her reasons are as stated or something sinister and underhanded.
But thank your for your concern about what I "must understand."
I will give you a point for being technically correct that one doesn't have to do anything that another person says they must do. You are correct on that point.
On your assumption that I would assume that you would support Olympia, you would be incorrect there, so I get a point, leaving us tied.
Having the cynical eye that I do have, in regards to politics, I've learned that it is usually consistent that a politician's actions speak louder than any words. If it had been her intent to not run for office, because she wanted out prior to spending the money printing signs, gathering volunteers, sending out newsletters, and whatever else it takes to run for office.
The fact that she spent the donated money and leaving the Republican party hard-pressed to offer an alternate candidate in such short notice suggests that her intent, regardless of everything else, was to hurt the Republican's chances in the Senate over everything else.
Those are her actions. It is likely, based on her actions, that was her intent.
