Why can I not see the sun?
Only misted where I run,
No clear path for me to tread,
Only side step death and dread.
When will I be seen as more?
Than a girl with twisted flaws,
When will I be recognised?
As the child that survived.
Why can't men be just my friend?
Tell me lies and just pretend,
I will not have my mother's fate,
To be alone without a mate.
When will I believe in me?
And be the goddess I was meant to be,
Every girl should have her place,
Why is mine at hells gate.

By Alice Laussade
9 Fish is difficult. Not because the food isn't good--it's great--but because this esoteric restaurant is so infuriatingly remote, hidden deep in the monotonous bedroom community wilderness. Shoved way up in Frisco, on the leading edge of North Texas' metastasizing strip-mall incursion, 9 Fish demands you traverse Dallas' most notoriously frustrating chokepoints to reach it: the Dallas North Tollway or the Central/LBJ "high-five" parking lot. And once you've broken through these logjams, you still have to traverse miles of uncharted suburban asphalt before you can even begin to track down this restaurant, camouflaged as it is among a maze of storefronts, where the only living thing for acres is an idling Mercedes sedan. Why doesn't Southwest fly here for Chrissakes?
It should, because this is a destination if there ever was one. Named for a number that means good luck in much of Asia and for gilled creatures of which they serve a lot, 9 Fish is a fascinating clash of highly disciplined culinary execution and free-wheeling, topsy-turvy protocol. Chef-owner Roy Kamon keeps a fish bowl on the top of his sushi display case in which he keeps a pet beta fish. A sign is taped on the outside of the bowl that reads, "Don't eat me." Kamon says he sometimes prepares sashimi orders in a stemmed glass and inserts it into the beta bowl so that special guests can enjoy their raw fish delicacy while a beta orbits below. What must be shocking and macabre to a pet fish is witty and cutting edge to predatory noshers.
In another display case Kamon keeps an assortment of fish, giant prawns, clams and geoduck--the giant clams from the Pacific Northwest that flaunt 18-inch siphons from their measly 3-inch shells. The protrusions narrowly skirt the horrific, resembling large leathery tongues poised to snatch prey into the suffocating confines of their shells so that it can be slowly digested. More shocking than their appearance is that the geoduck are alive. Really. And if you ask the robata chef, a bald Thai fellow named Johnny, he'll prove it by reaching into the case and slapping the clam siphons, causing them to wiggle like slugs anticipating a salt shake.
Hamachi sushi: $6
White tuna: $5
Robata giant clam (geoduck): $10
Robata giant prawn: $12
Robata salmon/orange: $8
Robata rib eye: $8
Pan-fried ankimo: $9
Tuna tartar salad: $12
Peppered tuna: $25
Chicken breast: $17
The geoduck are served either skewered with pineapple (chewy and smoky) from the robata grill, or raw as sushi. The latter is the more interesting presentation, a pair of thin, semitransparent shavings of clam draped on rice cushions. The meat is chewy and pleasantly briny, tickling the palate with its ripe, sea-spray muskiness.
Why Frisco? "That's a question that people keep asking me," Kamon says. But after spending some eight years plying his trade in South Beach, Florida, Kamon evacuated that tropical haunt, dragging a couple of his chefs with him, because the stress of surviving day to day in the harsh climate of incessant trend-setting wore him down. He settled in Frisco because he couldn't afford the rich lease rates of Dallas real estate. Yet in Frisco, he says, the population avoids him, habitually linked as it is to the chain-restaurant culture, where waits are short and grub doesn't come with leering pets as a side item. "It's kinda hard to get people in Frisco to come out here," he laments. "Most of my customers come from Dallas, north Plano and a lot from Highland Park. I'm surprised at how many people come from over there."
I guess this proves that people will put up with road snarls and endless ribbons of asphalt if the raw fish tastes like it surfed on a rice pad from the ocean to your tongue. And here it does. The tuna and hamachi are fresh, cool, firm and silky, without any sinuous strands to get tangled between your crowns. The flesh literally dissolves between your cheeks.
Visual flourishes infect the presentation, too. The white tuna is centerpieced with tiny pinches of greens coddling bits of diced tomato. The toro, marbled tuna that could pass for pricey beef in dim light, arrives with a diminutive flower huddled between the wasabi and the pickled ginger.
Kamon also makes promiscuous use of martini glasses, a visual cue of cool if there ever was one. The spicy tuna tartar salad is a silo constructed out of tiny tuna cubes mortared together with sesame oil, ponzu sauce and quail egg. Planted in the top of the silo is a crispy fish chip, leaning past the edge of the glass like a sail. It's founded on a slightly wilted pinch of greens stuffed into the throat of the glass. The flavors were remarkable, though the fish was a bit warmer than is comfortable for raw fish.
Pan-fried ankimo, or Japanese foie gras as it's designated on the menu, is also silo-shaped and topped with a seaweed and teardrop tomato salad. The monkfish liver is slightly singed on the outside with a cool and gelatinous interior. The flavor is ripe and seaworthy, like the raw geoduck, only much more intense.
Kamon says his fish behaves so well in the mouth because everything he uses, whether grilled or served raw, is the top grade of fish available. "It doesn't have that old smell to it," he boasts. Thank God for smell favors.

The Battle of Droop Mountain Reenactment activities was held August 31 and September 1, 2013
This event helps us to understand the history of this battle site of West Virginia's last significant Civil War battle.
The event was conducted by the WV Reenactors Association.
The public is invited to a Memorial Ceremony on November 6, 2013 at 2:00 p.m., recognizing the men that died or died of wounds receiving during the battle of November 6, 1863. Click here to see our invitation.
These four unique excursions are intended as memorial hikes, not races, and all participants are expected to remain in a single group throughout the hike. At various points along the way, short readings of official reports, letters, and diaries pertinent to that particular march will help relate the modern view with its historical context.
Each excursion is described below. A registration form is linked to each hike listed below. Pre-registration is required. Registrants should be in good physical condition. Registrants will be added to each list until the limit is reached. Additional registrants will be maintained as alternates in the event of cancellations. If a registrant must cancel, please call or email, so others on the alternate list have the opportunity to participate.
About the hikes in general:
During 2013 Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park, in cooperation with the Pocahontas County Tourism Commission's Appalachian Enrichment Series, will be offering a series of Memorial Hikes to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the November 6, 1863 Battle of Droop Mountain. The hikes will be led by park superintendent Michael Smith along one Confederate and three Union army routes used by troops gathering for West Virginia's last significant Civil War battle. For safety and logistical reasons participation will be limited and registration is required.
All hikes will begin at Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park and participants will car pool or be shuttled to the various start points so that vehicles can be available at the park when the hike ends. Descendants of soldiers who fought at Droop Mountain are particularly encouraged to participate, walk over the same ground as their Civil War ancestors, and share any stories they may have. However, any person with an interest in history or just desiring some good exercise is also encouraged to participate. Reenactors with authentic period clothing are welcomed to give a military air to the excursions, but period dress is not required of other participants.
Please note: Hikes #2 and #3 are on private land for which the landowners have given special permission for these, and only these, particular excursions. In no way does participation in these hikes allow trespass privileges on these properties by individuals or groups or at other times.
Because much of Hike #4 will be at night and along a major highway, reflective arm bands (provided by park) will be worn by all participants. Other safety measures may also be required.

Olives....olive garden?
We decided to eat at Todd English's, OLIVES, last night since i have never been there and it seems to be such a Boston Dining Staple.
We started by having a drink at the bar, where the bartender finally noticed us and promptly gave us our drinks. The space seem to be busy, the staff moving like a colony of ants, and for the most part the guest seem pleased. We were finally seated and waited to be attended by our server. The server was pleasant and seemed to know what was on the menu and how to describe each dish we asked about. We had some wine and snacked on the bread and olive trio. The bread was good, but a little too much olives. The green olive spread was way too salty, but the rest wasn't that bad.
We were suprised by the size of our first course! The carpaccio was so big, that it became unappitizing. We felt that more isn't always better, hense the side of beef on the plate garnished with a garden of large leaf lettuce and heavy handed balsamic dressing. The potatoes on the plate were delightful, i must say. Sadly, the rabbit cacciatore special failed to win our approval. Though the polenta was edible, it did not compensate for the lifeless "cacciatore"! Maybe if the tendon and bone i bit in to had not been present, i would have enjoyed it....probably not!! It was by far the worst thing i had during our dinner.
Overwhelmed by theTexas size apps, we were concerned with our maincourse. The duck al'orange was anything but what the name suggested. I'm all for the practice of fusion or the "new twist", but many times "fusion" seems more like "confusion". Though it did have an orange segment and some sort of orange sauce, the dish took on more of an asian feel than the more familar French dish. I'm ok with that, just don't serve it with some sort of carrot-rootveg-mashed potato!! The duck breast though tasty with its "hoisin jus" and toasted sesame seeds, was overcooked and dry. The cabbage and veggie garnish was underseasoned and BLAHHHH! DC had the pork dish, which suggested it came with an apple butter, yet it was served with diced apples. Also the waiter didn't suggest a temp the chef likes to serve the gigantic pork chop, so I as a cook myself assumed it would come mr or med, nope, med well to well......strange. It was tasty, but again the portion size was ridiculous.
This is too long, so I'll cut to the chase. Way to expensive for the quality of food, not quantity, shady service. Boston has some serious dining issues. Big attitudes by the chefs/owners, crappy food from what seems to be the big gun restaurants. We've given up on the Boston Dining Scene.
You're about 10 years too late re your take on Olives, which means it's way too early for you to pronounce Boston's dining scene worthless. Olives was great once, but it's long since passed its heyday. If you do a search, you'll see that most recent reports are as mixed as yours; it's hardly the "staple" you claim.
re: tatamagouche
Can't imagine who's recent recommendations the OP was operating on to select Olives as a dining destination.
re: Taralli
I was thinking the same thing. Also wondering who considers this a "Boston Dining Staple" -- not many of us here, that's for sure. Interesting to write off all of Boston's dining based on a visit to this place, though...
re: Taralli
The negativity isn't unanimous. There are at least a couple of Boston hounds who are still fans: I think hoplover praised it recently, and there's another, who sounds like an industry type, who admires Joe Brenner, the longtime, then gone, now back again executive chef.
re: MC Slim JB
I think Olives is very good. I am still salivating over the ribs and corn puree I had there this summer. We are going with a guest from out of town tomorrow night - and I am looking forward to it. The carpaccio OP mentions is one of my favorites - although I admit I like the way they prepare it in the DC Olives much better where the gorgonzola rosti cake in the C-Town Olives prep is supplanted with a polenta cake and gives the dish more richness - it is a nice counterpoint to the arugula (not overly dressed in my experience - AND BTW - it is a scallion aioli - not a balsamic dressing) and also a nice accompaniment to the roasted balsamic cipploines. The beef is perfection. I might consider that dish as my very last meal. I cannot say I have had a bad meal there recently - we probably go there 4-5 times per year and another 2-3 sitting at the bar. I will pay close attention tomorrow night and report back - but still, I count myself as a fan.
A lot of folks here, myself for one, would have steered you away from that once-great restaurant that's now kind of a tourist trap to many worthier places with better prices. Would you care to comment on some of the other places you've been to that also disappointed you? I hope you're not judging the entire Boston dining scene on Olives alone.
Olives... Boston is a great city to love olives -- salty and cinamon small black ones from Courthouse seafood, excellent dry cured ones and decent selection of briny ones from Wine and Cheese, Formaggio for far too many great olives, Sessa's for inexpensive dried cured, Trapelo and Belmont St for good shopping, bacalhau a bras at Portugalia, Brazilian Salpicao, Oleana for warm olives, even fried olives at Sagra (never tried).
Oh, you were talking about Todd English. Oh well, as hard as it is to miss his empire in Boston, most hounds try. Don't think he has even been in the kitchen at most locations. I am hoping that Cisco Brewery gives Logan travelers some other welcome than Kingfish Hall. Even the most (over) hyped hound destinations are likely to give you a much better meal.
re: itaunas
The fried olives at Sagra are addictive.
I like the olives in the bins at Arax Market in Watertown.
Oh. Todd English's Olives. Got it.
In one of its later incarnations, Olives did some very interesting theme dinners around a single vegetable, and it was worth a detour.
I'm not a fan of the chain. Everyone would benefit if Olives got back to its roots - there is talent out there to help make it happen.
I like to capitalize my Nouns too. I think it's best for you to give up on the Boston Dining Scene too if the only place you eat out at is Olives.
Hello everyone,
Thanks for the replies. We didn't think it was a dinning destination any longer either, but we gave it a shot. Im sure that there might be other great eateries, but so far we have been dissapointed with our selections! Some of the other restaurants that we disliked were: Salts, Torro, Dali, Aquatine, and the Franklin cafe. They were just too hyped up for the experience we had. We did have a good meal a Chez Henri, Union bar and grill, and of all places Anchovies! I think the fact of us saying that "we've given up on Boston's dinning scene" may be premature! We are still hoping to find great places to dine!! We were thinking Clio, Cragie St. Bistro, Hamersleys, and No.9 Park!
If anyone has been to any of these places, please give us some info! Hopefully someone can lead us in a good direction for great a meal!
Thanks in adavance.
re: hptr
I'd be curious to know what you didn't like about Toro, Franklin Cafe, etc as they are two spots that I have consistently liked. I also really like Clio, Hamersley's and No. 9 but wonder if we just have different tastes since you were not happy with places that I keep in regular rotation.
re: hptr
I see in your other post before this, you mentioned a New York chef - if you are looking for a NY-style/quality scene, I think you are going to generally be disappointed by the high end in Boston. (This has been often discussed on the board and I think consensus is that there are many superb places in NY that have few equals in Boston in terms of the sweet spot of high end quality, price and hype.)
Rather than indulging in Clio, No. 9 or Craigie, which are all about the bank, I'd be curious to hear how you like some places that are a smidge less expensive, but are really focused on the chow...
Such as....
Blue Room, Cambridge
Oleana, Cambridge
Gargoyles, Somerville
re: hptr
Out of your disliked restaurants, I really like Toro (that corn is amazing, the space is fun, the drinks are liquid and the rest of the food isn't too bad either) and have a soft spot for Dali - it's incredibly useful for group parties and a casual meal with friends. I also like Chez Henri and Union. That should give you some idea of my taste preferences in regards to your own. Of the other places you're looking to dine, I recommend Craige Street, though the chef can be overly fussy with his ingredients and technique. The house terrines are very good as are his game preparations. His seafood is beautifully flavored, though it could be cooked a smidgen less for me, but that's a small issue as I like my fish & seafood practically underdone. I love the whole subterranean vibe, market-driven menu, competent service and gracious staff.
Based on your preferences, other places you might like include Ten Tables, Gargoyles on the Square (nice call Bob), Grotto, Neptune, Rendez-Vous, and Central Kitchen.
Good luck out there!
re: gini
Gini, your other suggestions are on the money. I'd particularly be interested to hear the OP's opinion of Grotto, which to me is uncomplicated really good chow, not overhyped, and a pretty great value (I really ought to revisit soon - it's been too long), but still has its haters. I also thought Toro was pretty great.
re: hptr
Funny about Toro, I had one lackluster meal there that, while not bad, wasn't that great either. I've eaten there many times and that was the one WTF? moment. It might just not be to your taste.
I'm always happy at No. 9 and Troquet, not as much with Hammersley's.
For some reason Craigie Street's wine prices turn me off, I don't know if they're really high or something in the room gives me price vertigo.
You mention you are a cook- what type of place do you cook at? Is it here in Boston? It would be easier to suggest places for you to dine at if we knew what kind of food you cook on a regular basis.
re: jonship
I don't get all the Boston bashing. Boston is not NY. It never was and will never be anything like NY. That being said, there are plenty of great places in Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, and Somerville. For example, Rendezvous, Evoo, Craigie Street Bistro, Eastern Standard, Oleana, Gargoyles, Neptune Oysters, B & G, Lineage, I enjoyed Myers & Chang on one visit, and so on and so on. Please, give Boston a chance!
re: drewames03
drew... agreed. Boston is not NY, and not really a great dining town. It's better than it once was, but for those who love to eat, leaves a lot to be desired. This topic is one that often comes up on this board. One reason CH is so important in this city is that we need all the help we can get to find the few places that can satisfy a true hound. This thread started out with a discussion of Olives. It's a good example. As was stated, Olives was a great spot years ago. The reason that Todd left Boston (so to speak) for greener pastures is that he gets much more support at the spots he opened in other cities. I've spoken with major chefs around the country and the economics are just not good in Boston. The high cost of real estate, the tons of college kids (not a good fine dining demographic), are 2 important reasons it doesn't work. Even the best places in Boston are dead at 11pm... esp during the week... and its worse in the burbs.
Boston gets compared a lot to NY since its in such close proximity and since there are a lot of NY'ers here. It's really not a fair comparison as NYC is so much bigger and has so much more big business, foreign $$, and wall street. The finance community alone can keep NYC restaurants in humming.
Back to Olives. While it's not what it once was, it still holds up well (now that Joe Brenner is back... as Slim pointed out).
Places like Troquet and Craigie Street Bistro, to some extent Rialto are worthy spots in this town. They seem to get it. Most everything else is over-hyped, gimicky, overpriced for what they do, or just doesn't deliver for some reason... service, food, wine.... I've had nice things to say about a few other places in the past, and of course I do go to many other places, but I just know what it is... I put it in perspective... I don't expect it to be great. As was stated, a CH still needs to eat out. Of course, just my opinion, but Im sure I'll be hearing from the many who think the Boston dining scene is one of the best around. It's a never-ending debate.
re: WineTravel
"Most everything else is over-hyped, gimicky, overpriced . . . "
I mostly agree with you about high-end restaurants, but I think it's limiting to think about the "dining scene," and what Chowhound has to offer, in this way. For instance, two of my favorites, Tu y Yo and Tamarind Bay, wouldn't fit into this discussion but I am always happy to eat there. And I bet we have more homemade ice cream places than NYC.
re: Pia
Certainly agree that Boston (region) is one of the best cities in the world for ice cream.
This fact actually somewhat supports my point about Boston demographics. One of the main reasons that ice cream places flourish in this area is that there are so many colleges and universities to support them.
re: WineTravel
I don't think you've addressed Pia's key point: that you are focusing on "fine dining", while there is great food to be found here, if you're willing to not be so narrow in defining what good food is about.
re: Alcachofa
True, I did mention 3 places that I like that are on the higher end and I am guilty of focusing more of my attention to places that are more mid-high end... as I find more them more interesting, healthier and tend to be places with real chefs and decent wine lists. Of course I also frequent lower priced places, Chinese, Pizza, Italian, etc. That said, my comments weren't intending to focus on just fine dining. I'm looking at the Boston restaurant scene in general... across the board. Agree that the mid to lower range of restaurants stack up better to other cities than those at the higher end. That doesn't make Boston a food city.
Here's one example which illustrates the Boston scene... I had a nice meal at the new La Viole on Newbury St. (my only complaint is that the place is too cramped and noisy... would rather see them take out a few tables and raise the prices a little which would enhance the dining experience greatly). People have been gushing about La Voile since its recent opening. The reason? They seem to genuinely care a lot about what they are doing, and they execute properly in the kitchen with a menu of simple but excellent food. Because it's in Boston (and especially Newbury St) this place is seen as a "revolution". In NY it would get some nice comments but would barely raise an eyebrow.
re: WineTravel
I wonder if La Voile has been getting such great feedback because it is in the Back Bay, which you mentioned. I obviously don't know this, but I wonder if it would be getting the same kind of attention if it was in the South End or Cambridge?
Interesting that you find Boston's demographics as a major reason for its mediocre dining scene. I thought that the universities would enhance Boston's scene. The universities attract not only professors, but researchers, scientists, engineers, artists, etc. Generally, these people are well traveled and cosmopolitan. And with large technology and financial sectors, I assumed that these kinds professions would support a sophisticated dining scene.
re: WineTravel
From what I've read, most Boston Hounds aren't marveling at La Voile for what it's doing relative to the rest of Boston -- there are plenty of other similarly priced, similarly authentic French places (though arguably not so many that are focused on the cuisine of Provence and the French Riviera). The real excitement is that it offers something decent on Newbury Street, a destination that draws crowds but most Hounds correctly disdain as the home of a lot of terrible places that rely on unwitting tourists and pleasant patios to stay in business.
In any event, the whole Boston vs. NYC discussion debate is tedious and meaningless, and doesn't really help anyone find better chow. Comparing New York to Boston is like comparing Boston to North Andover: there's a 13:1 size advantage in both cases.
Is Boston a good Chow city for its size? I think so, especially, as several Hounds have made pains to point out, if you consider the entire spectrum of restaurants, not just mid- to high-end places.
re: WineTravel
"Even the best places in Boston are dead at 11pm... esp during the week... and its worse in the burbs."
Isn't this chicken and the egg? Boston (city governemnt) shuns the late night scene, Bars close early compared to all other metro areas, the T stops running at 12:30. There are hardly any 24 eateries etc
Maybe if the City encouraged a more robust nightlife by say, extending last call to 3am and running the T all night to accomodate these people (and discourage drunk driving) people would be more willing to eat later at these places.
As it is now, if you eat dinner at 11pm by the time you are finished the bars are closing...
re: DTHEASH1
I have stashed away somewhere a dinner menu from Olives c. 1990 or 91--handwritten, Xeroxed--from back when it was still in the tiny old space. I'll never forget what a revelation that meal was--the parmesan pudding with pea tendrils, some kind of duck-three-ways dish with confit and sausage and duck leg on top a crispy risotto cake. Given, I was barely out of college so I wasn't too well versed in fine dining, but I don't think any of us had ever eaten food quite like this before. It was gorgeous--peasanty and decadent at the same time. There never seemed to be an ingredient that wasn't supposed to be there or wasn't somehow intrinsic to each crazy dish. I agree with the lackluster assessments here (though writing off the whole "Boston dining scene" because of Olives seems awfully short-sighted). But I still think fondly on Olives and Todd English--that place was really something.
re: greengage
See the current entrees below from the website - doesn't seem as exciting as your dishes - they sound even...lackluster? Wonder how the c. 1990 prices compare? :)
Brick Oven Roasted Chicken - Roasted garlic glaze, country mashed potato cake & green beans...$19.95
Crispy duck l'Orange - Slow roasted duck leg, pan seared breast, sweet & sour cabbage, ginger-orange glaze....$28.95
Wood Grilled Pork Chop & Brown Sugar Peach - Slow smoked bacon, basmati stir fry & native peas...$28.95
Slow Smoked Braised Beef Short Rib - Maytag blue cheese, polenta, heirloom tomato, shaved celery salad...$30.00
Grilled Lamb Sandwich - Sliced leg of lamb, grilled za'atar bread, Mediterranean salads, rouille...$28.75
Wood Grilled Bass - Horseradish whipped potato, shaved fennel, lobster salad, green beans & bacon...$31.95
Wood Grilled Steak Frites - Garlic & rosemary rub, OLiVES classic cut French fries, onion jam, watercress salad...$37.50
Wood Grilled George's Bank Swordfish - Lump crab, sesame spinach, chickpeas, carrot harissa...$32.00
re: Bob Dobalina
No, you're right--these dishes don't sound nearly as zippy. Though God knows--in 1990 heirloom tomatoes,Maytag blue cheese or onion jam probably seemed a lot more exotic than they do now (a cheese with a name? is it cheese or a dishwasher?)
If I can find that menu, I'll try to post some of it--it's like a perfect little time-capsule.
re: Bob Dobalina
Call me a hick, but those dishes, while not revolutionary, sound pretty tasty to me. Maybe they're actually not in the execution, maybe they're overpriced, I don't know--I haven't been to Olives in any decade. But this thread is starting to irk me.
re: BostonCookieMonster
Interesting...I think that was exactly my point. For Greengage, in 1990, the dishes at Olives were revelations = innovations. Nothing on the current menu seems to be particularly innovative (you know, since now EVERYONE has parmesan pudding on their menus. ;) Anyway, it's long been discussed here that Todd English's creativity is not what it once was.
I want to know - what is the new black? Truffles? Foie gras? Offal? Done, over, yawn.
I am going to lobby for the husk cherry and nutria chops.
re: Bob Dobalina
I think maybe I'll serve nutria drumsticks at my next buffet...
So--I found this menu and it is kind of amazing. No entrees over $16.95; apps and desserts are $5-6. And it all sounds like food I'd still be tickled to eat. Here's a little sampling.
Mozzarella and oilive ricotta in carrozza with warm chopped tomato, anchovy, basil in garlic olive oil
Brick over baked lobster and canneloni with fontina, potato and spinach
Carrot pappardelle with roasted rabit ragu, rabbit meatballs, roasted carrots and fried sage
Toulousian shredded potato cake stuffed with leeks served with crispy duck and grilled duck chorizo w/ roasted fig glaze
Grilled pork and brick-oven Clam roast with spicy capicola, creamy fresh corn polenta, roasted tomato, olives and rosemary
I remember being struck by the details included in the menu--I feel as if that was still pretty new--those long lists of ingredients or elements. And yes--of course a lot of it is stuff that was more striking then (a brick oven? wow!) I remember the Fallen Chocolate Cake being kind of a big deal and now you can probably order one at Mickey D.'s. Still, good stuff.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Greate school, my daughter is very happy with everything in school. The teacher Mrs James is very qualified to teach KG Class
I have two children who attended this school till 5 grade. I can only say we owe our kids success to this wonderful school who has caring and productive teachers. The teachers are there for the kids education. The teachers are always willing to listen to parents concerns. The magnet program is above and well organized. Hurray for Ms. Harris the magnet coordinator who is always ready to help her children that is the students. They have a large VIP group willing to help the school with projects and to assist teachers with any kind of help that is allowed. Parents are always allowed to help with kids and in class. The teachers are great and knowledgeable. My kids were in the magnet program and were accepted to many good middle schools like Johnston, Pin Oak, Stevenson, Pershing, and others. And I have 2 more kids there now. Hurray for Cornelius!!!!
My two daughters have gone to Cornelius for the past two years. The teachers treat the students with respect and expect the highest achievements from them. The focus is math and science and students learn to enjoy learning and look forward to every lesson. The after school program is wonderful, with a variety of activities to choose from, including Violin, Science Club, Homework Help, Band, and UIL. Both of my daughters are GT and enjoy the school. The students are well behaved everywhere whether classmates or friends. It's so great that I wish it was K-8 so my fifth grader could continue there next year.
Both of my children attend the magnet program at Cornelius elementary and I am very pleased to say that this school challenges the students abilities and creates an environment that requires parents and children to participate actively. My children are doing academic work above their grade level and are more knowledgable than other children their age. My children enjoy attending class and come home with interesting facts and information that they have learned. I am very pleased with the program at this school as well as the impact it has had on my children. The instructors and staff appear to be very dedicated to the young minds of Cornelius. It is wonderful to see young children learning but an even greater joy to see them learn with interest. This school is an asset to the community.
My daughter has attended Cornelius since kindergarten. She is now in the second grade. I am very satisfied with the leadership and teachers at the school. I feel my daughter is being prepared for the future.
This school appears to be very insensitive when it comes to the needs of a child. I am not impressed and will not have my daughter return to that school.
I am a pre-k parent that is suprise about how much this school is advace from other public and private schools. I had my daughter in private school and their is no difrece from one another am verry happy with the teacher she is great Mr. Dalton.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Secrets of The South. I know where the bodies are buried.
We didn't even get the drugs & illegal alien problem in La. until Piyush Jindal was funded into the Governor's Office with money from Bush & foreign entities tied to Saudi Arabia & China.
South Carolina didn't get the drugs & illegal alien problem until Nikki "Mahatama" Haley was moved from Washington DC and rigged into that state's Governor's Office.
The Bush family, based in Dallas, has dealt drugs along with the Bush Sr. CIA, which is also tied into the UK, since before I was born.
After Bush Jr. took office, they apparently got tired of dropping kilos of cocaine off via planes, so Bush Jr and the CIA worked with Vincente Fox, former President of Mexico, to push for open borders, allow Mexican Truckers to have access to American Roads and flood the country with well armed Mexican Drug Cartels.
- None of these free trade agreements, which Condi Rice brags about & that were hammered out under Bush, have anything to do with jobs or the economy but instead its really a front for the tearing down of security & borders, so that certain people can continue to operate the drug trade.
Now after Obama took office, one of the first things he did, was say that he wasn't allowing in Mexican Truckers but in less than one year, he flipped and now Mexican Truckers have complete access to US highways & roads. Not only has this driven down wages of American Truckers, who went from making $50,000 per year to now earning under $24,000 per year but it also established drug routes that reach into every Southern State.
One has to be highly intelligent and know the Southern Dirt & know where the bodies are buried in order to be left alone but on the other hand if one of the "aww shucks drooling" people; gets to close to these Southern Closet Skeletons, they end up dead as can be seen from the trail of bodies, which Hillary & Bill Clinton left in Arkansas and then the ones which Bush Jr & his administration left all over The South after the Enron Scandal.
I was quite shocked to see that Obama was aligned with Southern Republicans more than any other demo-political region, as far as, how he fell into Bush & Clinton's mold.
The only difference is that Obama, unlike Bush and Clinton, isn't from The South and therefore he is playing a dangerous game.
Obama is doing the most & only cares about himself, which means that he really has no respect & being that Obama has his hand in New York Banker & Southern Good-Ole-Boy Scams, I doubt that this man can stay around without eventually being a liability & it isnt like he can go run and hide by Daddy Bush or Mama Barbara for protection.
The Southern Republicans, after Obama, basically opened up the high ways to Mexican Cartels & set up drug routes in these off the map towns across the Southern States. Every single illegal alien issue, since the 1980's, in the U.S. is due to Republicans, dating back to Reagan/Bush Sr.
The heroine is coming in from Afghanistan and is being grown by 12 year old Afghan boys, under British Command, while cocaine is being grown in Colombia under American CIA Command.
These drugs are then moved up into Mexico, where they hit the Mexican Drug Cartels, that are free to come & go through the Texas/Mexico Border as they dam well please.
The Mexicans go into Central Texas, to a little city called Georgetown, Texas and then into Whitehall, Arkansas, into Eddyville, Kentucky, to Dekalb County, Tennessee into Hardee, South Carolina, over to Elmore, Alabama and then into Louisiana State (I will not name the town).
Now, what do these towns all have in common? They are towns that have prisons and Southern Republicans that double as drug dealers for the CIA and all of these states give Illegal Aliens and Mexican Gangs a free pass.
Around Hardee, South Carolina they (drug cartels) can get to a swamp and often time this is where these Cartels dump dead bodies, to be eaten by wild life and this just started under Republican Gov Nikki Haley.
If a Mexican Cartel gets stopped by a cop or deputy in Arkansas, all they have to do, is inform the cops that they are heading into Eddyville, Kentucky and the cop knows not to arrest them, detain them or deport them because the law enforcement already knows that the Mexican Cartel or Illegal Aliens are moving drug shipments.
Due to Texas State, the entire South is messed up. These kids are strung out on meth & heroine at the age of 12 due to what Southern Republicans have allowed to go on in Texas State.

text: Several residents in the Nicholas County community of Craigsville spent their Sunday praying for the recovery of two Nicholas County deputies shot in the line of duty over the weekend. Buddy Stapleton and Tommy Allison were responding to a call on Little Trail Road when they were shot. 84- year old John Evans is accused of firing the shots. Evans would later be killed by law enforcement officers after hours of trying to get him to surrender peacefully. Shirley Eldridge, the owner of a restaurant nearby said that when she heard the shots and found out what was happening, her heart sank, because several of the deputies are also her customers. "We love all of those boys because they have been coming in here since we opened 13 years ago," Eldridge said. "It was kind of scary."West Virginia State Police told 13 News Saturday that the deputies' injuries did not appear to be life threatening.

Boy racer cuffed for 140mph YouTube jaunt
Re: Is this the vid?
If that's really the vid then it's got one hell of an interesting engine. cos it's still accelerating very fast between 110 and 140 "mph" (why do i get the feeling the mph and kph have been reversed...).
Acquittal of US man who viewed abuse images overturned
The ISPs in the UK (and probably further afield) were rather worried about this sort of thing when the government was looking at legislation in the late 90s (though at the time it was primarily related to copyright). I'm pretty sure that it was acknowledged that the content of user-driven caches could not be controlled by the ISPs. In the US such devices would almost certainly come under "carrier status" regulations.
Google probably have more concerns (though again as it's all automated).
Orange simplifies data by capping at 30MB
Confused website
Their customer service website is a little confused at the moment as shown below. Good to see that if I don't use World Access I don't get charged for it...
Orange World Access
Mbs per month | cost per month
none | £0.00
OW Daily Capped Usage | £0.00
Unlimited Evening & Weekend Browsing | £5.00
30 | £8.00
80 | £41.13
...and while in the store at the weekend the technical guy on the end of the phone was suggesting that the 30MB inclusive price was for just the Orange World portal, and that anything on the general Internet would cost £3/mb with no cap.
From the sound of things their billing system and advertising is entirely confused. There's a £2/day maximum pay as you go service available (free evenings and weekends though...)
The guys at Orange I've spoken with have said things are a complete and utter mess at the moment and to wait a while for them to fix their systems.

Fitness & Exercise
The Skinny Jeans Workout
Build Your Own Workout
Comana says that any "skinny jeans" program needs to include cardio to promote weight loss and general conditioning, plus resistance training to tone and build muscle.
If you want to do your own skinny jeans workout, he offers this advice:
- Lunges and squats are good resistance exercises (done with or without weights) for toning the lower body.
- The real skinny on looking great in skinny jeans, he says, is to include cardio exercises that work your lower extremities (like running or cycling) to burn calories and tone muscles overall. Try for 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise three to five times a week.
- If you incorporate cycling, don't mash heavy gears. That can build more muscle than you might want and even harm your knees, he says.
- Don't overdo running steps and hills, as they may build muscle and may not be the best for getting you into those skinny jeans (although they're great for overall fitness).
- Ellipticals and steppers can target the glutes, but as with lunges and squats, it's important to use correct technique (see below).
The Right Way to Do Butt Exercises
Comana says that women tend to rely on their quads (thigh muscles) more than their glutes, hamstrings, and calves during certain stepping, squatting, and jump-landing movements. There are several mechanical reasons for this, he explains, including the structure of the knee joint, hormone levels, and motor skill development.
He says you can teach yourself to target the glutes better during squats by holding a wooden dowel against your back and making contact with your head, spine, and sacrum (it's a little awkward, but you'll get the feel of it). Then, maintain contact at all three points while you do your squat. Think of pushing your butt backward, rather than driving your knees downward and forward. Once you get the feel of this, try the same motion to adjust your stepping or climbing position.
Goldenthal says that targeting the glutes is important for a shapely rear. "You need something in those skinny jeans," she says. "You need a little junk in the trunk!"
But what's the point of having the perfect butt if you've got a "muffin top," or your arms are saggy? It's not just about the butt and thighs, she says. "It's about looking good and feeling good in your clothes."

No, not the personal fragrance, but rather an aspect of life. Many neurotypical people have obsessions. I know this. When an autistic person develops one, it is much the same. Except that for some of them? They don't quite grasp that your head isn't thinking the same way his head is. The idea that you … Continue reading

Don't wait for the Divine Afflatus
It doesn't have to be a "divine afflatus" as the ancient Greeks might have touted. It doesn't have to wait for you to be "in the mood" or able to grasp an entire, heart-engaging scene. Sometimes, writing is just plugging away. Like we do every day, all day. I have domestic duties that involve changing … Continue reading

Part of the reason I wasn't typing was because I was spending a … Continue reading

Buy Carlyle Compressor Company
Carlyle Compressor Company is one of the leading compressor companies known for producing the most reliable compressors around the world. They have been in business for more than 75 years and have maintained a reputable position in the HVAC industry. You can find Carlyle Compressors in almost all temperature control equipment, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, grocer's freezers, etc. They use state-of-the-art technology to produce compressors that use environmentally safe refrigerants and offer exceptional functionality. They are one of the most popular compressors manufacturers due to the incredible benefits that they offer such as:
•High Efficiency
•Low Operating Costs
•Optional Capacity Control Systems
•Unparalleled World-Famous Reliability
Carlyle Compressor's core value is a commitment to deliver value to their customers through on-time delivery, product safety, reliability and quality at a competitive cost
Carlyle Reciprocating Compressors
Carlyle Compressor 06D and Carlyle Compressor 06E are two of the most famous Carlyle semi hermetic compressors. These semi hermetic compressors are known for their efficiency and dependability. They are very sturdy, extremely reliable, and of the highest quality. They have remained industry leaders because of their low pressure ratios, retrofit-ability and uniqueness.
Compressors 06D and 06E are not only high quality but also very affordable as well. These particular semi hermetic compressors are the industries best capacity control system. The 06D and 06E are available in a range of 3 to 40 a HP. These semi hermetic compressors increase load performance and reduce compressor cycling.
Carlyle Remanufactured Compressors
Semi hermetic Carlyle remanufactured compressors are not rebuilt or repaired. They are completely remanufactured and designed for keeping up all of Carlyle's quality standards. Carlyle semi hermetic compressors are broken down to the smallest pieces (complete disassembly) and then crafted in compliance with the latest engineering standards and technological advances, which means complete cleaning of all components followed by extensive examination to insure all components are within OEM tolerances prior to re-assembly, or replacement. The Semi hermetic Carlyle remanufacturer compressor gives a new life to the highly reliable and efficient compressors. In other words, compressor repair involves a totally remanufactured compressor so that it performs even better than the unit it replaces did when new. When Carlyle remanufactures a 15- or 20-year old compressor, they build it to current engineering specifications.
The company's engineering contributions have impacted all of the known compressor designs, including centrifugal, reciprocating (open drive, semi-hermetic, and hermetic), and screw technologies. Since Dr. Carrier invented the centrifugal refrigerating machine in 1921, the centrifugal compressor has been the focus of continual product enhancements to maintain its leadership position. The company's major innovations and refinements in reciprocating technology over the last 80 plus years are well documented and have resulted in the industry's most advanced product offerings.
•Centrifugal compressor
Centrifugal compressors use the rotating action of an impeller wheel to exert centrifugal force on refrigerant inside a round chamber (volute). Refrigerant is sucked into the impeller wheel through a large circular intake and flows between the impellers.
•Reciprocating compressors
A reciprocating compressor uses the reciprocating action of a piston inside a cylinder to compress refrigerant. As the piston moves downward, a vacuum is created inside the cylinder.
•Screw compressors
Screw compressors use a pair of helical rotors. As the rotors rotate they intermesh, alternately exposing and closing off inter-lobe spaces at the ends of the rotors.
Other Carlyle Compressors comprise the following types on the list below.
•Carlyle refrigeration compressors
The refrigeration compressor is used for refrigerators, freezer refrigerators, kitchen refrigerators, cold boxes, display cabinets, dehumidifiers and other cooling appliances.
•AC compressors (air conditioning compressors)
The air conditioner compressor uses a compressor motor to compress refrigerant gas to high pressure, sending the pressurized gas through cooling coils (condensing coils). Aided by air movement drawn by the condenser unit fan, the gas is returned to a liquid refrigerant state. The process of compressing, then condensing the refrigerant back from a gas to a liquid also moves heat out of the refrigerant and into outdoor air.
•Rotary compressor
In a rotary compressor the refrigerant is compressed by the rotating action of a roller inside a cylinder.
•Rotary screw compressor
A rotary screw compressor is a gas compressor which uses a rotary type positive displacement mechanism.
•Rotary air compressor
Rotary air compressors are positive displacement compressors. These compressors consist of two rotors within a casing where the rotors compress the air internally. There are no valves. These units are basically oil cooled (with air cooled or water cooled oil coolers) where the oil seals the internal clearances.
•Hermetic compressor
Most small to medium refrigeration systems use hermetic compressors. This type of compressor is basically an electrical motor / pump encased within a metal shell. It is completely sealed, especially against the escape or entry of air, resistant to outside interference or influence.
•Gas compressor
A gas compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume.
Other varieties of compressors include industrial compressors, high pressure compressor, dental compressor, champion air compressor, electric compressor, and mini compressor. Carlyle Compressor unloaders maximize a compressors performance for lower operating costs. Their control module continuously monitors motor and discharge temperature, continuously monitors the pressure drop through the oil system, ensures proper compressor startup by sequencing the contactor, unloader and oil solenoid valves, and controls the VI valve to insure the most efficient compressor operation.
The roots of the Carlyle Compressor Corporation run deep; to the very beginnings of the refrigeration and air conditioning industries. Originally formed by Dr. Willis H. Carrier and J. Irvine Lyle to be the "compressor arm" of Carrier Engineering Company, its inventions and achievements in technology are reflected in most of the products and services now taken for granted by modern society. Foresight and strategic planning have been Carlyle's bench marks over the last 80 years, always a gracious acknowledgement of its proud past. Carlyle Compressor Company has many locations including locations in East Syracuse, NY and Stone Mountain, GA.
Compressor manufacturers and dealers offer many kinds of compressor accessories, which are the items you need to make your compressor work better for you. Some of these accessories include Coupling Kits, Crankcase Heater Wells, Crankcase Heaters, Mounting Kits and Service Valves. It's also important to make sure your compressor's pump, motor, and tank are at their optimum working capabilities.
Carlyle Compressor Company sells compressors to Carrier for use in their packaged units and to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) that design and build the application of their compressor. Carrier Carlyle approved compressor oils are used for the selected refrigerant. The oil should be added through the recommended oil fill connection ports on the compressor and the most accurate compressor oil levels observed when the compressor is off. Oil levels in the sight glass can be affected by the rotation of the running gear. The correct oil pump pressure is related to the age of the compressor.

As a global leader in the HVAC industry, Carlyle Compressor Company some of the most dependable equipment in the business. Having operated for well over 75 years with a solid and proven reputation, Carlyle Compressors can be found in nearly every type of temperature controlled setting. This includes air conditioners, refrigerators, and grocer's freezers. With cutting-edge production technologies, the company manufactures environmentally friendly refrigerants with remarkable performance capabilities. Carlyle Compressor Company's philosophy is one dedicated to providing efficiency, reduced operating costs, optional systems for capacity control, and unmatched reliability.
Carlyle Compressor 06D and the Carlyle Compressor 06E are the most popular Carlyle semi hermetic compressors. These products are well regarded for their effectiveness and consistency. Rugged, dependable, and of built with quality in mind, these semi hermetic compressors have kept their industry leadership positions due to low pressure ratios, retrofit-ability and distinctiveness.
Semi hermetic Carlyle repurposed compressors have not been rebuilt or repaired. They are 100% remanufactured with Carlyle quality standards as guidelines. These semi hermetic compressors have been stripped to their smallest components and then fashioned using the most current engineering and technological standards and advances.
The engineering strides made by the company affect every compressor model. This includes centrifugal, reciprocating, and screw types.
Centrifugal compressors use rotating impeller wheels to apply force to refrigerant within a round chamber. Refrigerant is drawn into the wheel through a special intake and distributed between the impellers.
Reciprocating piston action located inside of a cylinder compresses refrigerant which creates a vacuum as the piston is forced downwards.
Helical rotor pairs intermesh, interchangeably exposing and sealing inter-lobe spaces near the very end of these rotors.
Other Carlyle compressors include:
Used primarily for freezer and kitchen refrigerators, cold boxes, dehumidifiers, display cabinets and other cooling devices.
Utilizes a compressor motor to condense refrigerant gas to elevated pressures, thereby delivering the gas into cooling coils.
With rotary compressors, refrigerant is condensed by rotating a roller within a cylinder.
A gas compressor, this product uses a rotary type mechanism which produces positive displacement.
These compressors utilize positive displacement to function. Consisting of two rotors which compress air internally, rotary air compressors are valve-less and oil-cooled where oil seals clearances.
Hermetic compressors are used with small to midsized refrigeration units. Primarily an encased electrical motor and pump, they are totally sealed.
Gas compressors use mechanical means to reduce gaseous volume, thereby elevating its pressure.

A guy I like doesn't want a relationship, but he treats me like his girlfriend. What to do?
I meet his friends and his family. He kisses me holds my hand and proudly introduces me to anyone he knows. He says he doesn't want the commitment because he is too busy with other things in his life. Should I continue with things the way they are? Or should I tell him that we can only be buddies. I'm confused on why he won't call me his girlfriend.
What's Your Opinion?
What Guys Said 1
He might just want to be touchy with his friends. I have a few friends that I'm like that with. If you enjoy this attention, and think you can take it, then continue. If you only want to be this close if you are dating, then cut it off. Your choice really.
What Girls Said 1
if I were in your shoesi would say to him either commit to me in a relationshipor don't treat me like your girlfriend when I'm not.

I really want to do a good newsletter. I swear I do. So, having found a better newsletter service in Tiny Letter, I decided to move off of letter.ly. I made it a buck a month and you can sign up here. Like my previous attempt, it's mostly personal stuff and I kicked it off this morning with a creative writing assignment I did back in college. With Tiny Letter, I can even send old newsletters to new subscribers, something that people had wanted on the old one. Thankfully, TL lets creators do that. Check it out if you're interested. You can cancel at anytime.
Someone, I don't remember who, once told me that you need to surround yourself with not people who you like, but people you want to be like. You've gotta hang around people who inspire you to be better than you are right now. If you want to lose weight and you hang around with fat people with no desire to lose weight, you're never gonna slim down. If you want to create beautiful art, but only hang out with people who don't have an interest in art, you're probably going to give up on your dream. You've got choose your associates wisely. It may sounds cold or shallow to some, but you have to choose your friends carefully. It makes no sense to associate yourself with people who are going to hinder your achievements. It makes sense to be friends with like-minded people who will make it easier to reach your goals. It's networking, right? It's about creating a circle of friends/associates/possible collaborators that will enable you to reach your full potential. You need to think about where you want to be and who will help you get there.
As I said the other day, I came down with the flu. Because of this, I haven't left the house except to go to the convenience store the last four days. Domino's has been a good friend as well. My razor saw my face for the first time since Friday too. So this is the mighty stubble that grew out of that.

Robin Meade Introduction
Robin Meade is so hot she can make even the biggest Republican a closet CNN watcher. But there's a story behind this exotic beauty.
Robin Meade Life Story
The daughter of a preacher, Meade had a pious upbringing in New London, Ohio. She graduated high school in 1987 and headed for college. She first went to Ashland University but transferred to Malone College where she majored in radio/television production, programming and performance and minored in political science. In 1992 Meade displayed her mastery of hotness when she won Miss Ohio. At the Miss America pageant she finished in the top ten. With college and beauty pageants behind her, Meade hit the newscasting circuit.
Meade started out in the not-so-major market of Mansfield, Ohio. But she climbed the ranks fast, eventually doing the news in Columbus, Cleveland, Miami, and Chicago. In 1996, while in Chi-Town, she covered the Olympics in Atlanta and the bombing attempt that took place there. Her superb coverage garnered the attention of CNN, where she went to work soon after the Olympics. Currently, she hosts Morning Express with Robin Meade on CNN Headline News, which is a way better show than Nancy Grace. In 2004 Meade was voted "Sexiest Newscaster" by a poll on Playboy.com. Sadly, she didn't pose for Playboy. Yet.
Much to the chagrin of cocky newscasters that have worked with Meade, she got married in 1993. Meade is also a pretty good singer. Back in the day, she even sang for George H. W. Bush at a campaign rally.

India's new crop of law school graduates are the first in the country to be subject to a new requirement that they pass a national 100-question multiple choice test before being allowed to practice. Previously, law school grads in India needed only to be admitted to a local bar. Several of the new grads are practicing their legal skills in the six-month interval before the exam by challenging the authority of the Bar Council of India to impose the exam requirement. See New Bar Exam Riles India's Law Grads in the American Lawyer.
Contrary to the popular stereotype, Canadian lawyers, like their American counterparts, have some civility issues. Here are some examples from a story in the Toronto Globe and Mail:
A Toronto lawyer was suspended in 2008 for punching her own client in the face. An Ontario lawyer was sanctioned in 2007 for threatening to be "10 times a bigger asshole than you" in a letter to a mediator. Fiery native-rights lawyer Bruce Clark was disbarred in 1999 after contempt-of-court convictions for accusing judges of genocide and threatening to arrest them.
But a civility initiative from the Law Society of Upper Canada that includes a new protocol for judges to complain about lawyers, a mentorship program to influence new lawyers' behaviorr, training courses, and more frequent disciplinary hearings, is nevertheless running into some resistance. The Globe and Mail story, Will making lawyers civil make them soft?, says that some are suggesting that the initiative could actually harm the justice system by influencing lawyers, especially defense attorneys, to shy away from making the strongest possible arguments on behalf of their clients for fear of being disbarred for incivil behavior.

Thank you! You know who you are!
You made some people in Prague/Berlin/New York City very happy. (I bet you thought that the reSITE team is only in Prague but we have support from people who are also in other cities.) Thanks to you, Rosy will give the performance of her lifetime next to the National Theatre in Prague. We hope you will come and visit her. There are only a few more weeks left so make sure you book your ticket in time.

Part 4 Case closed.
So back to the check up on the magistrate papers, as I said after a while I called to check up on things….. Ring Ringggggg...ring ring…ring rin (female cop) "Kennesaw police Department how may I direct your call?" (Sierzant) "Yes, I am checking up on a pending case." (Female cop) "What's the case number?" (Sierzant) "The case number is (%$#@-*&^!)" (Female cop) "One moment……….. Ok sir, we have tried to deliver magistrate papers five times already. If you would life for us to continue you will have to re-file." (Sierzant) "Re-file? It's almost March and I filed in January! Is he just not there when the sheriff tries to deliver the papers?" (Female cop) "Sir it doesn't matter when we serve the papers we always leave a note on the business doors." (Sierzant) "Is it possible to deliver the papers directly to his house?" (Female cop) "Hold on sir and I will put you directly with the Sheriff in charge of delivering the papers"… There are a few good things that I learned in business and one of them is never deal with a middle man. If you want something done with efficiency, go straight to the source.
Sure enough we were able to have the papers served directly to his house. We were notified by the Kennesaw police department that Escalade had put a claim in that "Someone" had broken into Escalade and moved tools around. Mind you nothing was taken. The report said that the back door at Escalade was easily pried open and that the items that were moved were in a locked room. I know that the back door at Escalade is very difficult to "Pry" open because it has a dead bolt shackle lock keeping it shut. To "easily" pry such a door would render it useless after entry. As for the items moved in the boulder, that were not stolen, I would imagine that any given employee could have moved things around. Wow…this is becoming really juvenile and ridiculous. It's like dealing with a delusional middle school kid. Ah and the ever so fun waiting game that is our legal system begins again. He has about thirty days to respond then we have a nice little meeting to get things all straightened out.
The time had come. Magistrate court was now in session. On my father's side were several close friends of the family and even a friend of my business partner who was completely non bias. This non bias friend of both my former business partner and me was here this day to mediate what was right and just. Corey Jordan is quite possibly the most honest and honorable man that I know. Corey had recently gotten news that his mother in Louisiana was sick and he needed to be there for her. When he left he was making $15 an hour and managing the front desk. When Corey returned he informed me that his mother did not make it and had passed away. I couldn't imagine losing a parent. I have had many friends lose their mothers and fathers. It was difficult enough watching them go through the grief. All I could do is, be there for them if and when they needed me. When Corey approached my old business partner about returning to his original position at the gym, he was told that he would be able to take on his job but at minimum wage. Minimum freakin wage! This dudes mother died! Has this man no compassion for those he would call a friend? It was a direct slap to his face. It takes a lot to make me angry, and when I heard this I was mortified and enraged at the audaciousness and total lack of human dignity that this man had shown. Still Corey took the position and continued to be friend to this monster of a man.
My father was summoned to the back rooms of the court house. There him and my ex business partner tried to negotiate on the equipment. My father came out and explained to me and the 4 witnesses that were with us that they wanted us to strike a deal that would make us both happy. I immediately replied "All of the equipment is ours and we have proof and witnesses. Why would we back down now?" My father returned with an all or nothing response. That's when I was summoned to the back. I know how this drill works. Our system protects tyrannous people and their behavior so I was ready to negotiate. Back and forth we went till a deal was struck. I helped my father because he is far too nice to take on the greed of people he used to care about. Our mediator informed me that my ex business partner was being Juvenile and it would be in our best interest to slightly bend to his requests to finish up the process. Before we left the court house I politely asked my ex business partner to release all of my sports memorabilia that he was holding. We were able to retrieve most of our equipment although we took a loss on our much needed scaffold set which was sold to him for $800 as I recall. Once we picked up the remaining equipment I noticed that my welding cord was cut in half. Fuck it. I was just glad to be done with the entire process. Later that day I heard that Corey Jordan was expelled from the climbing gym. I was at a loss for words. My ex business partner introduced me to an all-time human low blow. Everyone in and out of that gym loved and respected Corey. Corey was one of many people, some of which deserved to be exiled from Escalade, that were kicked out of the gym. In the eight years that I ran my business I had only kicked out one person. Today apologies were made and that person and I are friends again. Although I have been banned from the business that I dedicated almost a decade of my life to, I will never lose the respect of the community that I helped build from the ground up. I harbor no resentment toward my ex business partner. I hope that one day he finds peace with himself. I hope that he can learn that people and their lives are more important than money. I hope that he can learn to treat people with dignity and respect. When he was my friend, I knew him to have a good heart and noble intentions. At one point this man was my student. At one point he was my friend. At one point I looked up to him and respected him like family. All of this, that was good I will remember and I will keep as a reminder. I just hope that one day he realizes the damage that he has bestowed upon the people that cared for him as he had not for them. I often ask myself "What makes the hearts of seemingly good men, wicked?"
