Way of the world
The backlash is growing as more and more retail operations announce plans to open on Thanksgiving Day. Walmart was first to jump the Black Friday starting line last year, with Macy's, Target and many others joining this year.
Retail employees are not all pleased with the holiday intrusion. Online petitions at Change.org are registering protests from shoppers and employees of Target, Simon Property Group stores and more.
I believe that holidays should be shared with families and with those people who need our help and support, especially those without families, writes Milford resident Lee Gardner on the petition aimed at Target. Stores do not need to be open on special holidays.
But Richard Feinberg, a professor in the Department of Consumer Sciences and Retailing at Purdue and the director of the Center for Customer-Driven Quality, said stores have little choice. If they don't get a piece of that pie on Thanksgiving, he said, somebody else may get it.
The online petitions might be effective for venting frustration, but stores will continue to open on Thanksgiving as long as customers are waiting to enter.

Read an interview today with one of my favorite authors — Douglas Adams. He very eloquenty, and full of the dry wit that is his trademark, talks about his atheistic leanings and how he doesn't like being confused with an agnost. It occurred to me that I never paid attention to the difference between the two words up until now.
All along, in my head, atheism and agnosticism were essentially the same thing — A lack of belief in a higher power/supremo aka God. However while atheism is more about the disbelief in all deities and the supreme being, agnosticism suggests the view that the existence of deities is either unknown, or inherently unknowable. A firm conviction in the former versus an unsurety in the latter. Glad I got that cleared up! :)
Here are the Wikipedia entries for Agnosticism and Atheism, if interested in reading more.

Before & After: An Affordable, Painted Kitchen Mat
A patterned flat weave rug used to occupy most of the floorspace in my tiny kitchen, but I wasn't happy with how it was faring nor how it felt. Wanting something a little more padded but not liking the look and price of most of what I found, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I bought this foam kitchen mat for about $10 at Target and debated a few different patterns. Using a photo of a real suzani as a rough guide, I ended up spending several hours over a few days painting this pattern freehand. (I used acrylic paint, and the top of the mat had a weird, fabric-like texture that helped it adhere.) Once I was satisfied with the design, I sprayed the mat with a few clear coats of Rustoleum ($5) to protect it from foot traffic. So far it's holding up just fine.
A chef's gel-filled kitchen mat it is not, but it's more comfortable than its predecessor and cost only $15. I also appreciate the fact that this mat doesn't collect pet hair the way the rug did (guilty party shown in the "before" photo), and it's easier to keep the floor clean now.
6 Comments
SO cool, what a great idea!
-Chic Done Cheap
The "after" is great, but it seriously suffers from lack of puppy.
BRILLIANT!!! I have been searching for a rug of this structure for so long, but they're all hideous (roosters & coffee mug galore).
Thank you for sharing!!! I will definitely be trying this..
Wow! I have the same mat too! I was contemplating painting it, but I wasn't sure it could be done. I'm definitely going to have to try this soon. I also have 2 dogs and I'm glad to hear that it helps with the hair situation. My mat is a dog hair magnet. eek! Thanks!
Also I thought I'd just mention that I've seen more modern looking "comfort mats" on worldmarket.com I would've gotten one from there but I had already bought my target one.
after picture needs more boston! :)

August Restaurant Week 2010
Does anyone know what the dates will be for Restaurant Week this summer?
I *think* it's the 22nd through the 28th, but don't hold me to it. All I'm basing this on is an email I received from J&G about it with the dates, and the reservation I subsequently made but then cancelled. I'm pretty sure it was for the 25th.
Didn't find anything Googling it - there is surprisingly little hype this time around, no? If Kushi and/or Againn are participating, I may try to go back there. Or Estadio, since it just opened. Otherwise, I've come around to everyone else's thinking about restaurant week - it's a little overhyped.
re: MakingSense
Bethesda Chevy Chase Restaurant Week
July 23 - Aug. 1
Chevy Chase
6200 Chevy Chase Dr, Laurel, MD 20707
re: MoCoMe
Is there any restaurant worth going to for B-CC restaurant week (where a $30 dinner is something out of the ordinary)?
re: Doh
Most of the deals even in DC really don't amount to much - at best maybe the equivalent of a free dessert. That's usually about all you get for being treated disdainfully by the help. (Which I really don't get - isn't the whole idea to attract new customers rather than alienate them?)
I would expect Persimmon, Mortons, Tragara and perhaps even La Ferme are likely to be deals compared to their usual menu depending on the specific RW menu and your tastes. (For me, at least the first two are worth consideration.)
Yes, Mortons is a chain, but a pretty good one if you like steak. Persimmon already offers a $30 three course dinner Sun-Wed, 5-6 pm, entire menu included. A good deal. You can already get deals at others as well at least this summer: For example, a $29 3 course dinner and glass of wine at Le Vieux or a $29 five course dinner at Chef Tonys (I have never been at either but how much of a risk can they be?)

re: MakingSense
Now that we have dueling dates for DC Restaurant Week, can anyone chime in to nail down the dates? We know why Raids thinks his/her dates are correct. MakingSense, how did you learn about your dates?
re: MakingSense
MakingSense where did you get these dates from?
re: Elyssa
Those were the original dates for DC Beer Week. Got an email this week changing the dates for Beer Week so that it didn't conflict with DC Restaurant Week which has now been scheduled for 8/16 - 8/21.
Gotta admit that I'm surprised that the Restaurant Association is late this year coming out with the dates. I don't work with them so have no way of knowing why the delay. It will be OK since everyone loves this event.
DC Beer Week will be 8/22 - 8/28 with food and craft beer events all over the city. So you get two weeks of fun and great meals.
re: MakingSense
I imagine they should be announcing the dates soon, since we are basically a month out at this point.
re: Elyssa
My guess? They usually do full page ads in local papers so they're rolling the entire thing out at once rather than in dribs and drabs. Announcing just the date at this point won't do them much good - doesn't say anything much - and will take the attention off the big announcement of the participating restaurants.
The official dates and participants have been announced: http://washington.org/restaurantwk/
Fire up OpenTable NOW! :)
re: Elyssa
Thanks for confirming the dates! I'm looking at J & G for dinner on Sat. and then Blue Duck tavern for lunch on Sunday (although I know myself and will probably just end up ordering brunch off the normal menu). Thanks!
re: mjhals
I went to J & G this past winter for Restaurant Week and we had a wonderful meal. I couldn't normally afford the meal I ordered but at RW prices it was perfect. The steak was delicious, the cocktails were fun and the service was top notch. I highly recommend it.
Afterward make sure to head up to the POV bar on the roof for an after dinner cocktail and the best view of the city.
re: Elyssa
Glad to hear it; I booked J&G for RW this year. It's such a great restaurant normally and it's nice to know they don't throw in the towel for restaurant week.
re: mjhals
Hmmm, just got a call from BDT that they're not participating in RW on the 22nd, so I'm going to cancel that reservations. J&G on Saturday night and then BDT the next day may have been a little much anyway. Unfortunately just got a voicemail, so I couldn't ask why they're excluding one day of the week.
re: mjhals
Well if it is a Sunday they are only doing "Lunch" so that might qualify as "Brunch".
re: mjhals
I believe Blue Duck Tavern is only participating in Restaurant Week, Monday - Friday. Regular brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday.
Blue Duck Tavern
1201 24th Street NW, Washington, DC 20037
re: Elyssa
Okay, this time I'm booking Birch & Barley for a weeknight dinner, J&G for Friday lunch, and RIS for Saturday night dinner. I'm so glad she decided to participate! I feel like brand new restaurants still try for restaurant week.
Rasika was pretty much completely booked already, naturally.
re: Raids
I'm sticking to lunch reservations this year. Ever since the price for dinner creeped up to $35 I find that it ends up being expensive to go to more than 1 dinner during the week.
I have made reservations at Bibiana, Oval Room, and Zola. Has anyone been to any of these restaurants for Restaurant Week? Any thoughts on these 3 restaurants?
I went to Bibiana in March and LOVED my meal there, so I thought it would be nice to try it again at a more affordable price. The Oval Room is one of those places that I haven't been but always mean to try out. And Zola is a restaurant I haven't been to in a looong time but always enjoyed it.
I was hoping to get to Kellari since they are right across from my office and is usually considered an expense account restaurant. Unfortunately they are only offering dinner this year.
1100 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20005
re: Elyssa
Just went to Bibiana a few weeks ago and they have a pre-theater menu (3 courses) for $30 which is an excellent deal.
We had a stellar meal there and I still think about the salted caramel gelato.
1100 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20005
re: Jeserf
the Bibiana menu looks pretty boring - the pre-theater one is better. Ugh. We have accidental reservations at rasika. Anyone know if we can eat off the regular menu there during RW or should I cancel them? (we eat vegetarian, so our dinners there are usually the same price as RW or less)
1100 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20005
re: Jeserf
I would call to make sure they will have the regular menu before heading over there.
re: Elyssa
yeah, I'm going to wait to see what is posted. Otherwise, I'll cancel the reservation.
re: Jeserf
I just saw the Coco Sala menu and it looked pretty veggie friendly.
re: Jeserf
Some colleagues and I hit Rasika for RW. The entire menu was also available.
This was my first time dining at Rasika, and I thought the food was very good. The highly touted crispy spinach lived up to expectations, and the breads were great. Even dessert -- I got the carrot halwa -- which I rarely bother with at Indian restaurants, was good.
Rasika Restaurant
633 D Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004
re: Jeserf
See I thought the Bibiana menu looked great...especially because there are so many items that are normally on the regular menu on the RW menu. I don't like when restaurant clearly create a whole new menu with cheaper cuts of meat etc just for RW. If at all possible, I like getting a taste of what a restaurant normally offers, just for a more affordable price.
1100 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20005
re: Elyssa
We had Bibiana reserved on Tuesday at 8, but just had to cancel due to a rained out softball game make-up, if anyone is interested (table for 2). Replacing it with Siroc on Thursday, their RW menu looks great (I love their poached pear for dessert and it's on the menu).
Siroc Restaurant
915 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005
1100 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20005
re: mjhals
Just got back from Siroc (had to re-reschedule), and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Seriously, their pastas never disappoint, and tonight was no different even though they were pretty bustling with the RW crowds. I had the crab cake to start, which was good, and a small enough portion that you won't be too full to enjoy the rest of the meal. Husband had the potato torte which I preferred slightly over the crab cake- it just had amazing flavor and richness. I had the lobster stuffed rigatoni which was absolutely amazing, I'm already thinking about when I can go back and have it again. Good sized portion of rigatoni stuffed with chunks of very fresh, very sweet lobster meat and a little fennel. Finished with a very light and smooth (not thick) tomato sauce (with a little cream?) Really excellent dish. Husband had braised short rib agnolotti, which was excellent as well, would have paired so well with a hearty red wine (he prefers beer). And I love their poached pear for dessert. Service was excellent, on pair with their normal service, even though they were extremely busy with RW, Highly recommend for RW and beyond that, I think it's some of the best Italian in the city right now.

re: mjhals
Did the lobster dish have an up-charge?
re: Elyssa
No upcharge for the lobster rigatoni, it's not big chunks of lobster, more like ravioli filling. I think Siro is pretty reasonably priced, so it's one of the places that isn't a huge bargain for RW (but for the quality I'd say it certainly is for the remainder of the year).
Has anyone been to J and G Steakhouse this year for RW? They don't have their menu posted, so I'm curious what they're offering. They have their pre-theater menu posted, I'm wondering if it will be the same. The starters don't look too interesting to me (pea soup or watermelon/feta salad) for their pre-theater.
re: mjhals
I went to J & G Steakhouse for RW this past winter and thought it was great! I had a wonderful filet with a great dipping sauce. I thought the food and service was very good---and clearly it was a deal.
re: mjhals
J&G has a menu posted; there's a link to it on the front page. I've got reservations on Saturday. Hopefully it's as good as when we went last year for my birthday.
re: reiflame
Just got back from J&G; while the menu wasn't exactly the most enticing, every course was well executed, tasted great and the service was very nice.
Glad to see they put a good foot forward for RW - they're such an amazing place regularly that it would be a shame to see them phone it in for RW.
And for those of you looking for menu's, my friend Lisa's blog has been a pretty good job on getting these up as they are posted on restaurant's websites: http://diningindc.net/favs/restaurant....
I know DCFoodies.com also usually compiles a list of menus.
re: Elyssa
Like I said, it usually equates to a limited menu and at best a free dessert. Big deal.
The pre-theatre menus at Tosca, Poste, Marcel's, etc. are generally somewhat better deals. (For example, Poste's pre-theatre menu looks similar but better than their RW menu - many more dessert selections and no added charge for salmon.)
re: Elyssa
Elyssa - Ooh, thanks for the post and I like your friend's blog, but Zentan? *Really*? I used to go there all the time because it was practically next door to my old apartment, but I would never have put it in that company. I've had some great cocktails there before, but I've also had salmon nigiri that tasted like bologna. Seriously. It's just really hit or miss. And I've never had a entree that wasn't sushi that I or anyone else at my table would have ever ordered again. But I do like the atmosphere. I just can't imagine going out of your way to go there.
re: Raids
I personally wouldn't recommend Zentan for RW. I went last year and we had a major service glitch that was a nightmare to work out. But besides that my main course didn't come with any sides...it was just sliced steak on a plate and that's it. After asking the waiter about any sides and clearly coming across as disappointed she brought by some rice...big deal!
I like Zentan but I liked it more when I could pick and choose small plates to share with my dining companion. Not for RW.
And for the record I was just recommending those websites based on the fact that they were posting menus...not based on their opinions persay. On my blog I have occassionally done write ups of my RW experience (which you can also find on past posts on Chow hound). Here's a link to last summer: http://statedinner.wordpress.com/2009...
re: Elyssa
I've booked Adour and J&G - should I change Adour to something else? I've never been to these 2 places. Went to Tosca and Rasika in Jan.
Rasika Restaurant
633 D Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004
re: MoCoMe
Adour is good; the food is very restrained (but executed very well) and they don't serve enormous portions, but it's one of the few excellent deals during RW since their normal menu is so expensive.
re: Raids
I just wanted to mention that it appears that Zentan has added sides to their Restaurant Week menu this year. So instead of just getting served sliced steak, like I was last year, the steak is now served with mashed potatoes and hazelnuts. Seems like they are building upon last year's advice and improving on their menu: http://diningindc.files.wordpress.com...
Although I should note that the whole fish doesn't appear to have a side. Hopefully it comes with some rice or at least a piece of broccoli.
Got a lunch reservation for Blue Duck Tavern for RW, and was wondering if they had ever done RW before?
Blue Duck Tavern
1201 24th Street NW, Washington, DC 20037
I've had mixed experiences w/ RW in the past, but I think I'm going to give it another go this year, probably for lunch, and probably something seafoody. Any suggestions for places to go based on past RW experiences? My initial shortlist based on who specializes in fish and is doing lunch is: Hook, Grillfish, DC Coast, Sea Catch, PassionFish, M&S, Legal, Johnny's Half Shell, and BlackSalt. Do any have a good history at RW? Am I missing some place w/ a good RW seafood option? Places that don't upcharge for seafood would be preferred.

Againn is extending their Restaurant Week menu through next week. I was thinking about checking out sometime next week for lunch. Has anyone been for RW yet? Thoughts?
I've never been to Againn so I thought this would be a good way to check out their menu. The Restaurant Week menu looks good--especially the salmon appetizer and toffee dessert.
Btw, had an excellent lunch at Bibiana today for RW. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in DC. The service and food was spot on---RW didn't change a thing. Had the risotto ball appetizer for the first time---holy goodness! Crisp, creamy, delicious, with dots of peas on the inside. Very good!
1100 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20005
re: Elyssa
we had that when we went for dinner a month or so ago and they were SO good. I used to think Lia's made the best, but am reconsidering.
We went today to Art and Soul for the RW lunch. My biggest objection was the $4 fee for iced tea. Other than that lunch was really good. We had the Gazpacho (thin and loaded with garlic - nice lumps of crab meat) and the Ribs for the first course. The ribs were the best of these two. The ribs were very crunchy and the sauce was nice.
For the Main course I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and sausage gravy and yes it is that good. Moist and crunchy and full of flavor. Mashed potatoes were a little creamy for my taste but were full of butter and very yummy. Not too much gravy but it didn't need it. My daughter had the blackened cat fish. It was served with config fingerling potatoes, mushrooms and pickled beans. The catfish was spicy, cooked just right, nice and moist. I didn't really like the pickled wax beans with the potatoes.
Finally the dessert was small but good. We had the bread pudding and the cheesecake. Neither was "amazing" but they were both tasty.
Lunch was served with a big basket of light and fluffy corn muffins. Cudo's to the cook for not adding lots of sugar to them. I hate "candied" cornbread.
Art Smith himself had just arrived and was having lunch on the pooch patio. He was dressed in shorts and a t-shirt. We bugged him for a picture when he got up and he was very gracious and took one with us. He also didn't rush us away chatting for a few minutes. He took a pass through the restaurant between courses and stopped at a number of tables and chatted.
Other folks claimed that the service was a little anoying at times, we didn't have this issue. Our waitress did a great job.
I would go again for a special deal. I don't know if I would go for a regular priced meal. The lunch fried chicken is on the menu for $16.
With taxes, tags and tip it was a $64 lunch (yikes)..

re: woot4fun
Did you object to the iced tea being $4 or them charging for iced tea at all? Most restaurants don't include drinks in the deal.
re: Elyssa
I've never been there, but as an iced tea addict, a $4 iced tea would drive me nuts. Sort of like no free refills on iced tea does. Unless it's a special blend they custom make or something. But that is rare.
mmm iced tea
re: Elyssa
You nailed it.. $4 is too much for iced tea..
re: woot4fun
Restaurants tend to jack up the prices on drinks during RW.
re: Elyssa
re: fudizgud
Well clearly Art and Soul.

Half my office is out on vacation, it's August recess and our internet is down. So basically I'm thinking of taking a long, late lunch. Has anyone been to West End Bistro or Ris for Restaurant Week lunch?
Can't seem to track down the West End Bistro menu...anyone have it?
re: Elyssa
We had dinner at Ris last night and really enjoyed it! Hubby had panzenella salad, meatloaf, and cherry eskimo pies. I had gnudi, lamb, and ice cream & cookies. Nice selection of specially priced wine for RW.
re: MrsWheatie
I was thinking of going just to try the meatloaf. I've been hearing incredible things about it...and I'm slightly meatloaf obsessed.
re: Elyssa
I say go ahead and try it!!
re: MrsWheatie
My meal at Ris was amazing!! HUGE portions (not something you always see in during Restaurant Week) and everything was delicious. I started with the gnudi which was full of flavor---tomato, ricotta, pancetta, spinach--some of my favorite things. Then I got the meatloaf, which blew me away. I'm a big fan of meatloaf. Up until recently my favorite meatloaf (besides my own: http://statedinner.wordpress.com/2010...) was at The Majestic. But Ris is now my favorite...which is convenient because it's a few blocks from my house.
I finished with the key lime tart, which was a nice finish. It was a huge lunch (I took 1/2 the meatloaf home) and left me incredibly satisfied. I'm glad I tried Ris again...I had brunch there awhile and thought it was just so-so. I'll be back for lunch or dinner again soon though.
re: Elyssa
Glad you liked RIS! My meal there last month was one of the best I've had so far this year - it's definitely on our regular rotation now!
2275 L Street NW, Washington, DC 20037
re: reiflame
Ris is also my new favorite restaurant. I reviewed it recently on my new food blog:
I had dinner at J&G last night and thought it was just ok. Three of us had the seared halibut and we all thought it was too salty. The one person in our group who ordered the filet was quite happy, so maybe that's the way to go.
But I didn't find anything exciting about the meal, which was disappointing.
re: startsev
I had the halibut last night too, and mine was seasoned correctly. (I'm pretty sensitive to salt.)
re: reiflame
That's funny, I was at J & G last night too! Busy chow night I guess. I wasn't 100% impressed, but the decor and service were outstanding, as were some of the dishes. I had the halibut, and I thought mine was a little too salty as well, and a little overcooked, or had been sitting too long. I did absolutely love the pea soup though, so that was huge plus. I'd seen the halibut come out and it had no sides so I ordered some fries to go along with it. They were good, but not extraordinary like the ones at Central. Husband got the fillet and he wasn't that happy with it- it was really, really small, and again had been sitting too long (as had the mashed potatoes). But the warm chocolate cake was amazing. I'm torn on J & G, and kind of kicking myself for not ordering the salmon, which was not on the RW menu, but sounded really good to me. I think I would like to go back for a nonRW meal, as I did like the flavor combos with the halibut, just not the overall execution. Close call, but I'd keep it on my list, and it's in an especially convenient location if you're around the mall/White House area.
re: mjhals
I went at 6 PM (which seems to be a good restaurant week strategy - the place was pretty empty) so it wasn't slammed yet, which is probably what happened with your entrees. That warm chocolate cake was great - I was really hesitant to order it because, well, warm chocolate cake, but I'm glad I did!
The regular meal I had there was definitely better, but it also cost $300 for two people, so I'll keep J&G on my list of good RW deals.
re: reiflame
Wow, what did you order? I went with three people and ordered off the regular menu. One person ordered the Wagyu sirloin, appetizers and dessert were ordered, as well as about five cocktails, and we spent less than that.
re: reiflame
How was the wine service? I've heard they have a really well-selected wine menu - were they pretty helpful with recommendations, etc.? Is there a sommelier, etc.?
re: Raids
It's nice; not the most comprehensive list and I would've liked to have seen a few more "out there" selections for the adventurous, but overall it's pretty good. There's a good selection under $50, but it's easy to spend way more.
I was a little disappointed in how they handled my questions the first time I went - I asked for a recommendation with the fois gras and our server obviously didn't know what he was talking about and was not gracious enough to say so. I had to insist he get someone with more knowledge to help out. This trip, I felt really bad making our not-native English (or German) speaking server say "gruner vetliner" - she really butchered it (but it still tasted great).
re: MrsWheatie
Also went to Ris last night and had the gnudi, lamb, and key lime pie. But the best part? The $35 wine list. Also the cocktails we had at the bar beforehand were really superb - great dark and stormy and great Hendricks, cucumber, and yuzu cocktail also.
I wish there were a few more appetizer options on the RW menu. That's my only complaint.

The only two bonds you can invest in are issued by Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) and National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). These bonds are locked in for three years and carry interest rates of around 5-6%. (The interest, though, is taxable) Too little, you say? You're saving 20% on cap gains tax now, which is more than the amount you lose on the interest.
Anyhow, Samarth found in May that there were no more bonds available. Both REC and NHAI had closed their offers of 2007-08, and hadn't opened new ones. He found that around May 26, NHAI started the next series of bonds, and posted me a mail - so here you go:
NHAI's 2008-09 bond issue is now open.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Pooy on progress, but i can live with it. The beat goes on.
That's pretty much the best the team can expect HG
If Moda Health keeps our players healthy, it'll be worth it.
I'm still calling it The Rose Garden.Why couldnt they have at least named it The Moda Garden, or The Moda Rose Garden...
Blazer fans feel as though we have ownership in the team and the building in which they play. We support our team as if they are family. We view the RG as our home. Changing the name of our home naturally feels awkward.The Moda Center isn't the sexiest of names. Nonetheless it is our new home.To our CEO- Since coming on board you have made several unpopular decisions. Shaking up staff, raising tickets prices and this. Making the Blazers a streamline business is important. We know that. Don't forget the fans supporting the business. Throw us a bone.
Jestatom: It is going to be called The Moda Center at the Rose Quarter. I think the idea is that if you keep "Rose Garden" in the name, that's all people will ever call it. I'm sure Moda would like something more out of the agreement.Divotking: All good points. I would point out that Paul Allen payed for the majority of the Rose Garden (most other arenas are public financed these days) and has lost hundreds of millions of dollars on this team throughout the course of his ownership.
@caseyholdahl;Thanks for the response. I'm well aware of what Paul has done for the team and the city. We are lucky to have a team owner like Paul. I haven't always agreed with every move he has made but I believe his heart has always been with the team. All he has ever wanted is a winner. Even now, changing the name of the RG is in the best interest of the team and city. My comment was directed toward McGowan. He has had to make some unpopular decisions concerning the Blazers. A building is a building. A building full of fans is a home. Some recent news of fan appreciation coming out of his office wouldn't hurt his image.The FANFEST doesn't count. It was in place before his watch.
One more point.When we say "meet me at the MC". Do we mean the Memorial Coliseum or Moda Center?
I am calling this exactly what it is. Corporate sellout. If there was one thing I took pride in about our Arena it was that it didn't sellout. It was named to the likeliness of the city it was in. The Rose Garden, in the City of Roses. The Fans and the community that make up your consumer/customer base are a large base of Prideful, Knowledgeable basketball fans. You have ripped pride from Rip City. Have fun with that.(P.S.) I bought season tickets to watch the Blazers play in the Rose Garden, not the Moda Center. I would like my money back.
What a stupid name and how inconciderate not to ask the fans first beings we are the ones that support this money grubbing simple minded establishment. I say boycott the p[lace until moda wants to put our name back!!!!! corproate sellout is putting it mildly I wont even attend another concert there let alone a blazer game!!!
Just a reminder that this team hasn't turned a profit in forever. And that Paul Allen built the building with almost all of his own money. Asking fans what they think the name should be doesn't make any sense, seeing as how it's a sponsorship, not an election.
Everybody, you are making too much out of this, It is progress and it is here to stay. Changes in players names, establishments, nicknames, doesn't change the players, fans, or establishments. We are now known as soccer Moms, but we are still the same ol Blazer Fans; the players are recycled periodically, but they are still the same ol Blazer team; Uniforms are redesigned, but they are still the same ol Blazer uniforms; renaming the Rose Garden in the Rose quarters will not change the Blazers home, call it what may but it is the home of our Blazers. My last name is MANGUM, but I was nicknamed Magnumpi, nevertheless I am still the same ol HG
Agreed, HG. Let us not forget how much worse of a name we could have acquired for our arena, considering some of the ridiculous corporate names that exist out there. KFC Yum! Center (Univ of Louisville)Bojangles Coliseum (Charlotte, NC)Gaylord Entertainment Center (Nashville)Middlefart Stadium (Middlefart, Denmark)You see? This could have been an embarrassing disaster and blemish, but instead the sponsorship is tastefully done. At least there is some representation of the city, and Paul Allen has "fallen on the grenade" for this city countless times, all with the public's benefit in mind, so I'm sticking on P.A.'s team, no matter what he calls the building.
Agreed this isn't the end of the world. However, it does show how horribly out of touch this organization is with the fans.When you think of big time corporate sponsorship in the city, do you ever think Moda? Nike, Adidas, Intel come to mind. Don't we know anybody at Microsoft? Moda? Doesn't feel like Portland to me. The Nike Rose Garden Arena. That sounds amazing and far less cynical than some desperate tangential relationship between an insurance company and so-called health conscious Portlanders. Please, let's not pretend we all just ran a 10K, hopped in our Subaru's and grabbed an ultra light beer on the way to our seat. Portlanders are just as fat and unhealthy as the rest of America. Oh, and news flash. WE DON'T LIKE GIANT HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES.Now I'm not an insider but last I checked, we aren't having any trouble filling the seats. I've been to a lot of stadiums all over the country and I love ours the best. I've never had a complaint about the food, the beer, the fountains outside etc. The Rose Quarter is a joke, I get it. Sell some real estate for chris'sake. Problem solved. Exterior lighting, I could not care less. I'm running from the train to the doors in pouring rain and don't have a lot of time to admire any of it. THIS IS OUR HOUSE means something completely different today.
Chris McGowan said "We want to make sure they understand why we did the deal and we'll be monitoring it and talking to people if they are completely upset, but we don't anticipate it will be a large number of people." Is this all supposed to be a joke? Because it's really not funny.This is ridiculous and just irritating. EVERYTIME I HEAR IT. Irritated. And for lights, "better wifi" and a fountain? Who hired this guy? None of that stuff is even necessary. I do not like being mocked by the president of my favorite basketball team. It is NOT progress to name stadiums after companies. I realize there are more serious problems in the world. Which is all the more reason to keep things that are special and unique. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: "We have realized our terrible mistake and have returned the Rose Garden to its proper name. So sorry to cause you any trouble." How exactly ...with exact numbers...has the Trailblazers not turned a profit? Pretty sure the fans are coming to the games (more than most other basketball teams) and supporting the team financially with merchandising sales? Sigh.
And it doesn't need to be an election. The trailblazer organization just needs to remember who exactly is sponsoring who. Because without fans there's no need for a basketball team. Don't be more patronizing.
"terms of the deal were not disclosed" means the greedy lawyers and insurance company doesn't want the fans to know how bad of a deal this really is for the State,city,and it's fans to lose the Rose garden name...I was exited about the upcoming season til I heard about this,all of my friends are pissed too! I inderstand the bottom line needs to be met,but it's gotta be with the NBA getting it's calls right and having some integrity with the rules,and stop this special treatment BS we've been seeing the last 20 years,(anyone there realize why the NFL is so good and profitable? it's league parity and integrity with calls during the game,if Goodell would stay out of it politically they'd be even better)O I've longed for the old days when star players traveled with the ball and got whistled for it, and PF were called,the stars might even foul out! it was exiting!
Is it just me or is anyone else frustrated that Moda Health is re-branding The Rose Quarter. Not solely on the fact that Portland is losing a piece of its identity. But should a health insurance company have and extra $4 million to burn each year on such things as re-branding sports complexes? Could that money go to help America's troubled health care system? How many hospital beds does 4 million cover? If the answer is "Not very many" then we have a bigger problem than just the wasteful spending of a company that provides essential services to people. Something about this just really gets to me, I am genuinely angry over this...

Luckily, we have the Humble Indie Bundle 8 to keep boredom, UV rays, and those treacherous, shark-filled oceans at bay.

Hearing Professionals Talk About SoundBite™
Learn from Hearing Experts about Bone Conduction and SoundBite™.
Dr. Michael Seidman
(Dearborn, MI)
"The patients so far that have been using SoundBite are very pleased - many of them have tears in their eyes, many of them are smiling.
There's no surgery involved. It's very easy to use. It's very inconspicuous so people don't really have to know that you have it. One of the beautiful parts of this technology is that it's rechargeable. You just plug it in at nighttime and it recharges."
Dr. Brian Moore, PhD
(Professor of Auditory Perception, University of Cambridge, England)
"An advantage of the SoundBite system is that you can get quite high fidelity sound transmission. It's an efficient way of creating a bone vibration signal and it can work over a wide frequency range, so you get a very natural, clear sound quality.
It's important to explain to patients what benefits they are likely to get from a system like SoundBite. People need to be made aware that there are new things like SoundBite that can help them. It can make your life better and that's worth doing."
Joanna Roufos, AuD
(New York, NY)
"Some patients just do not want to go through surgery. SoundBite brings something new and innovative to the table now because they have a non-invasive, bone conduction option.
The minute we turn SoundBite on, we will whisper in that ear and the patients will just start crying…. because for the first time, in how many years, they are actually hearing on that side. That's very important."
Terry Shaw, AuD
(New York, NY)
"There are two things about SoundBite that I think are advantageous. It's a non-surgical approach and it's also relatively discreet. Very often patients will wear their device and other people won't even know that they have anything either behind their ear or in their mouth. In terms of discretion, it really works for patients.
It's been pretty easy for patients to get accustomed to wearing both the in-the-mouth device and the behind-the ear device."

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- The Lee County attorney will issue an opinion on whether the county administration had the authority to shut down the Medstar medical flight program, which it did in August. Some say commissioners must vote to suspend the program.
Commissioners voted Tuesday to ask for the legal opinion. They want it in the next two weeks.
They did not endorse a call by commissioner Brian Bigelow to launch a formal investigation of county manager Karen Hawes, or to restart the Medstar program immediately.
The Estero assistant Fire Chief, Mark Wahlig, criticized Lee county for suggesting that Estero crews should not have requested a helicopter to respond to a crash last Friday. The aero-med chopper, back-up to Medstar, could not fly that morning because of mechanical problems.

Eight-year old Sally comes bounding in from her weekend with her other parent and tells you about the video she saw. As she describes certain scenes, you can feel the hair on the back of your neck standing up. You never would've allowed your child to see this video because of its immoral content. But the other parent sees nothing wrong with this, and you feel helpless to do anything about it. This is a nightmare for a parent who's trying to instill good values in his or her children.
As much as they'd like to, parents can't completely protect their children from all negative influences. 1 Nor are there any guarantees that children will choose the right path in life. However, there are ways that a parent can help a child develop a strong moral conscience in spite of value differences with the other parent.
The starting point in nurturing your child's conscience is to model morality. It's not so much what parents tell their children about how to live, but what parents do that makes the most significant impact on them. Be the kind of person you want your children to be. Live a Christ-centered life — a life of truth, love, and trust in God ( 1 Peter 2:21 , 1 Corinthians 11:1 ; Titus 2:6-8 ). And when you fall short of these standards, don't be too proud to ask your child for forgiveness. Kids often learn more from a parent's asking for forgiveness than from a parent's attempts to be "perfect."
As you try to be a good example for your children, also prepare them to handle future circumstances they may face in the other parent's home. Acknowledge that these situations are opportunities for growth and building good character. For example help your children see how some secular videos fail to support biblical values such as love, purity, and responsibility. Avoid lecturing them and bad-mouthing the other parent, but patiently help your children think through the issues they will face and the choices they may have to make in the years to come ( Proverbs 22:6 , 1 Thessalonians 5:14 ).
Not only is it important to proactively prepare your children for future situations, it is equally important to use teachable moments in everyday life to reinforce appropriate behavior. Deuteronomy 6:5-7 says, "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Ordinary moments with your children such as having dinner, doing yard work, or reading a bedtime story can present opportunities to instill the right values in your children.
Setting age-appropriate rules and consequences in your own home will reinforce good values. Explain the reasons behind the rules (based on biblical values) and make clear the consequences of wrong behavior. For example, lying should not be overlooked. It should be addressed and appropriate consequences enforced. By experiencing the consequences of his actions, a child realizes he needs to change his behavior or attitude. This ongoing training will continue to instill moral values in his conscience ( Proverbs 13:24 ).
Parents should not only point out when children do wrong, but they should also acknowledge and praise children for making right choices ( Proverbs 12:25 ). Applauding your child's positive behavior strengthens a sense of right and wrong and motivates him to continue doing the right thing.
Nurture a healthy relationship with your children by spending time with them and listening to them. Parents who take time to sincerely hear their children give them a sense of value. It tells them they are loved and that their thoughts and feelings are important. Children pick up the values of the people whose love they feel. Jesus affirmed spending time with children when He said to His disciples, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these" ( Matthew 19:14 ).
Although ex-spouses may have completely different values, when you model a Christ-centered life and teach through love and discipline, your child will see a significant difference between your home and the other parent's home. Pray earnestly that over time, the child will see the benefits of living a moral life.
- This article is not addressing cases of child abuse, such as sexual or physical abuse or exposing children to pornography. It is a parent's responsibility to report such damaging and illegal activities to the police or local children's protective services. Back To Article

Euro-Crisis and Greece
Organised by the Hellenic Observatory and the Hellenic Bankers Association-UK
Wednesday, 20 March 2013
18:30 - 20:00
Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building, LSE
Professor Kevin Featherstone, Hellenic Observatory Director, LSE;
Eleftherios Venizelos Professor of Contemporary Greek Studies & Professor of European Politics
In a lively exchange of views, Professor Charles Goodhart (Emeritus Professor of Banking & Finance; Director, Financial Regulation Research Programme, LSE) argued that the Greek situation was somewhat akin to a frog being scolded in hot water, but that to get out (of the euro) would be even worse.
Dr Daniel Gros (Director, Centre for European Policy Studies, Brussels) argued that the depth of recession and a crisis exit depends on export growth. Indeed, the underlying problem for Greece was 'an extraordinarily bad export performance', worse than that achieved by other bailout countries (presentation|).
Professor Michael Haliassos (Chair for Macroeconomics and Finance, Goethe University Frankfurt; Director, Center for Financial Studies, Frankfurt) reviewed the strategic options for the euro-zone in relation to Greece and argued that there should be a shift of focus from 'who pays?' to 'who earns?'. That is, it is in the interests of both Greece and her partners that the strategy should be one of boosting her productive and export potential (presentation|).
The panellists answered questions from the audience and a reception with participants followed.

The words are not enough to express my high satisfaction with this mascara. I tried everything out there, literally. I bought a regular, not waterproof version, and was amazed at its staying power. This mascara defines, adds length and volume, doesn't flake or smudge, and yet it's easy to remove! What else can you ask for? I usually wear a primer underneath any mascara, but this one doesn't require a primer - it just makes your lashes so voluminous! For a super-duper dramatic look you can try applying 2 coats, but I really think it's unnecessary.
UPDATE: developed allergic reaction to it and had to discontinue use.

This is my HG mascara right now. I prefer it over the two MAC types I have. I was really skeptical to try it, even though I've used BE foundation for six years. I received it free as a gwp, and fell in love. It reaches EVERY lash, works great for bottom lashes, doesn't clump and doesn't flake. The wand is hard little pokey things instead of the normal bristles, and it makes it really easy to get all of the lash. Love this stuff!!

I love, love this mascara! It is as good as, if not better than, the higher priced mascaras from Lancome and Chanel. It now comes in two different styles of brushes, but is the same formula. I prefer the "fatty" type of brush if I'm in a big hurry because it will put more mascara on my lashes. But it is harder to use than the regular, skinny brush. This mascara both lengthens and thickens my lashes without any clumping whatsoever. With the skinny brush I can get individual eye lashes touched up easily. I suspect that the women who have not had good results with this mascara only used one coat. You definitely have to do two coats with the fatty brush and at least three with the skinny brush. But it gives you a beautiful, feathered, false eye lash look when applied properly. This is by far the best mascara I've ever used. It even comes off easily.

I just tried this for the first time recently, and I have to say I love this mascara. Love, love, love! It is such a nice creamy formula and goes on easily without clumping. I also think the brush does a really good job of seperating lashes while still managing to put product ON them.
It's staying power isn't excellent- I do touch up from time to time, but that is with most mascaras that aren't waterproof (which is my only real complaint about this mascara and why it got 4 stars instead of 5).

Age: 44-55 Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Fine Eyes: Hazel
I bought this after receiving a free sample of the Volumizing version that I guess is new for 2010? Anyway, I liked the volumizing formula, but the brush is too big for my taste. I detest mascaras with huge brushes, (ie. Dior Show, MAC Opulash, Cover Girl LashBlast, etc.) so I thought I would try BE's other Flawless Definition mascara with the smaller, thinner, plastic brush. I like the mascara, except it doesn't give me that extra length that I get from other, cheaper mascaras like Maybelline Lash Stiletto and L'Oreal Telescopic Clean Definition. Overall, Flawless Definition is not a bad mascara, but it is not worth a perfect rating, because I have definitely used better. I have had no smudging or flaking with this one, but sometimes it tends to clump random lashes together during application- which can be quite annoying. I also find it takes a little longer to dry between coats, and since my bottom lashes stay wet longer... some of the mascara wipes away when I clean up under my eyes. I will probably not repurchase when I am finished w/ this tube, because I can get cheaper mascaras that suit my needs better.

I have really tricky eyelashes. Since my skin is light, most black mascaras look really unnatural. Also, I think my eyelashes are long enough, and most mascara I've tried just adds length, not volume. This mascara looks really natural with good definition, and the black looks almost brown, which is a good thing in my opinion. I would love to buy it again.

After trying and failing with some other mascaras I decided that I did like this mascara after all - no flaking, goes on well, the brush separates lashes well. Also good for sensitive eyes.

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm Hair: Black, Straight Eyes: Brown
I'm surprised that this product hasn't gotten more recognition. It is possibly my HG mascara! I've been using it everyday because it NEVER leaves my lashes clumpy or spidery, which is usually the biggest problem for me. I love that it adds length and definition. I'm not quite sure how waterproof it is, as I haven't tested it out in that aspect, but I haven't had any issues when it comes to smudging due to sweat or anything like that. There's also no flaking whatsoever, and it leaves your lashes feeling "healthy" if you know what I mean.. lol
The packaging is sleek, and it comes with a lot of product.
Bottom Line: I recommend this if you're looking for an everyday lengthening mascara. Although, if you're looking for a volumizing/ dramatic affect, this will not work for you.

Project Hope of Zelienople is a nonprofit organization founded to give hope to parents who stay at the hospital with their hospitalized children. Of course, a parent's focus is on attending to the needs of their child. We believe parents must also take care of themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually in order to meet the overwhelming needs of their hospitalized children.
With the help of countless volunteers and donations, Project Hope of Zelienople supports this mission by providing canvas bags (totes) full of supplies to the intensive care units of Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. The totes are distributed to parents and guardians staying with their hospitalized children. Our intent is that these supplies will ease some of the burden on the families, to let them know someone cares, to give them hope.
We invite you to visit the various pages on our website to learn more about our organization. We hope that you are inspired to give hope to others!
Thank you for visiting.
Totes delivered as of Feb. 2014: 6,390!!
