You have your own "sales team" working 24 hours a day - with no coffee breaks, never phoning in sick, and totally predictable in terms of sales performance. They don't require training, supervision, or motivation. And they cater to everyone; rich, poor, male, female, young & old. All they do is generate a consistent stream of cash for you. If this sales team were big enough, you could replace your current income. The Perfect Home Based Business! No boss. No set hours. No rent. No utilities. No employees. No advertising costs. No complicated paperwork. No franchise fees. No royalties. No territory limits or restrictions. No limit to income. No end in sight. No kidding! Tax Deductions! Are you trapped in a 20%-30% tax bracket? Your tax advantages in this business are incredible! During 2011 you may be entitled to a tax deduction of up to $500,000! You read right: according to Section 179 of the United States Internal Revenue Code – as a purchaser of new vending equipment, you may write off up to $500,000. Additionally, you as an investor are allowed tax deductions for expenses incurred in generating and collecting revenues and in operating and servicing your equipment.

2012-08-24 - The long-awaited Nightwish movie "Imaginaerum" will have its "flying" premiere at "Hartwall Arena", Helsinki, Finland, on November 10, 2012, as the audience will be treated to both a full-scale Nightwish concert and the world premiere of the movie.
Eagerly anticipated around the world, "Imaginaerum" creates a musical fantasy world in the vein of David Lynch, Neil Gaiman, and Cirque du Soleil. The movie is an innovative mixture of story-telling and music, an extraordinary tale of the power of imagination… and what's ultimately important in life.
Shot and post-produced in Canada, the movie was directed by Stobe Harju and produced by Solar Films, and features appearances by all Nightwish members. The screenplay is based on a wild vision that Tuomas Holopainen, the mastermind of the band, devised after the album Dark Passion Play came out in 2007.
"I though of how we could take our expression that had already became pretty ambitious and grandiose to the next level, and that's when I knew I wanted to tell a story, and to tell it with love and piety."
According to Holopainen, finishing the movie has been an eventful and challenging journey that has sometimes demanded superhuman dedication from the production crew.
"I want to already thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. Together we've managed to create something innovative, strange, and timeless", Holopainen states.
"Imaginaerum" will be screened at the "Hartwall Arena" on November 10, preceded by a show by Nightwish themselves, their last concert in Finland this year. The Finnish theatrical premiere of the movie is scheduled for November 23.
The official soundtrack of the movie, "Imaginaerum by Nightwish - The Score" will be released on the day before the premiere, Friday, November 9. The album features 13 grandiose, unreleased re-interpretations of "Imaginaerum" tracks by Petri Alanko.
Nightwish have sold over seven million albums internationally and received over 60 Gold and Platinum awards, making them the most successful Finnish Rock band of all time.
Director Stobe Harju tells about the movie in Finnish: http://nightwish.com/fi/movie/news/230812

It doesn't matter if it's a child, a parent or a spouse, it's always painful to lose a loved one. Receiving compensation for it might not make the pain go away, but it'll at least help ease it.
Wrongful death is the death of a person arising from the intentional or negligent act of another person.
The following scenarios are common cases that are viable for a wrongful death suit:
- A driver unintentionally causes the death of a person, making the driver liable for negligence;
- Negligence from the lack of proper maintenance or failing to put up visible signs in a slip and fall accident;
- Death caused by violent crime, either intentionally (murder) or unintentionally (rape, robbery, etc.);
- Ignoring or even running from their responsibility to help when someone is fatally injured;
- Medical malpractice.
The statutes for wrongful death were created to make up for the personal loss they have experienced, and to provide financial support to widowers and/or orphans. Its other purpose is to encourage people to exercise more caution with their actions to prevent injuries and death.
Difference from criminal charges
Civil and criminal court handles cases separately, meaning both of them have no affect on the other. This means that even if the defendant has been acquitted of a charge (like murder), they can still be sued in a civil action by the victim's loved ones.
Who can sue for wrongful death?
Typically, only close family members can sue for wrongful death. In Nevada, this means only the deceased's heirs can file a claim for wrongful death. Heirs include spouses, children and their next-of-kin.
Immunity from the suit
There are only few exceptions in suing someone for wrongful death, so any surviving beneficiaries can sue the person who caused their grief.
However, an exception exists that prevent the suing of family members, this exception is known as family immunity. While adult children can sue their parents, they can't if the child is still a minor. But the duration is "tolled", meaning the time limit is put on hold until they reach their 18th birthday.
Wrongful death vs. the State or local government
A person can file a wrongful death claim against the state or the local government, but it will only be allowed to proceed if the state has waived their Sovereign Immunity, with Nevada as one of the states that has done so.
With this, a person can claim compensation from the state if they feel it was the city or state's fault that caused in the death of their loved one, for example, because of the mistakes of the police or a lifeguard accidentally running over someone.
Some states limit the damages they can recover from a wrongful death claim. Nevada has a limit of $50,000.00 for any case filed against them.
Contact Ross, and get your right to proper compensation
Get excellent service and a higher chance at winning your case by contacting Las Vegas wrongful death attorney Ross Goodman. Be assured that he will do everything in his ability to get the compensation you and your family rightly deserves.

The Hoka One One REVEL Big Cottonwood Expo will be held at the South Towne Expo Center on Friday, September 12, 2014. The expo center is located roughly 10 miles from the finish venue at 9575 South State Street in Sandy, Utah. The expo will run from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM. Parking is free and is located on the west side of the building. The expo will be held in Hall 5, which is on the far north end of the building.
A photo ID is required to pick up your race bag. We will allow individuals to pick up someone else's bag, but will require a photocopy of the person's ID and a written note authorizing them to do so. Because of time constraints, bag and shirt pickup will not be available the morning of the race.
Parking & Busing
Race parking is available at the business parks to the immediate south of the finish line. Multiple parking garages are available for parking at that location as well as on the west side of Union Park Avenue. All parking is free.
Hoka One One REVEL Big Cottonwood is a point to point course, and as such we will bus you from the finish line to the start line. The cost of busing is included in your entry fees. You do not need to reserve a spot on the bus, as your bib is your ticket to ride.
Buses will depart from the corner of 1300 East and Fort Union Boulevard, just east of the finish line. Half marathon buses will load from the northwest corner of the intersection from 4:45 to 5:45 AM, and full marathon buses will load from the corner of 1300 East and Park Centre Drive from 4:30 to 5:30 AM. Please make sure that you are on time and that you get on the right bus! Staff will be on hand to help direct runners and ensure that parking and busing runs smoothly.
Spectators may also park at the same locations as runners, though parking spaces may be limited. If parking garages are full, additional parking is available in the retail lots to the south of the finish venue.
Drop Bags
You will receive a race bag when you pick up your packet at the expo. This bag is for you to take to the starting areas. A number that matches your race bib will be put on the outside of your race bag. This is to identify your bag at the finish area after the race, and you will need your bib to prove ownership of your bag when you pick it up.
You may take your race bag and any personal belongings with you to the starting areas. For security and identification purposes we require these bags to be used to carry any clothes or personal belongings to the starting area, as opposed to any other personal bags. Bags must be placed in the transport vehicles at the starting areas no later than 6:45 AM.
Start & Finish Areas
Start Areas
The half marathon will begin approximately 10 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon at Spruces Campground, and the full marathon will begin approximately 15 miles up the canyon at Brighton Ski Resort.
Porta-potties, water, basic first aid items, and last-minute instructions will be provided at the starting areas. While we will provide gloves and Mylar blankets, we highly recommend that you come prepared for cold temperatures at the start line by layering and then shedding your layers to put in your drop bag just before the race begins.
Finish Area
The finish line is located at 1265 E. Fort Union Boulevard in Cottonwood Heights. The finisher's area will be packed with food, and there will be live music, massage, awards ceremonies, vendor booths, and more. A designated family meetup area will also run along the south side of the finisher's area so you can easily find your family in the crowd.
The map below shows the layout of the finish venue and indicates the locations of all the areas listed above as well as the designated areas for bag pickup, hotel shuttles, results, porta-potties, team tent space, and so forth.
Timing & Bibs
The races will be chip-timed using timing tags adhered to the back of your bib. Your time will begin when you cross the starting line, not at the start gun, and will stop when you cross the finish line. Overall prize winners (top 3 in each race) will be determined by gun time, not chip time. Please do not tamper with the timing chips, as they cannot be replaced once linked to your bib number.
Because the timing tag is adhered to the back of your race bib, it is important that you do not cover your bib with clothing or other objects that may interfere with the tag reader when you are crossing the start and finish lines. Furthermore, in order to ensure that race volunteers, officials, and photographers can properly identify you, you must wear your bib on the front of your person in an unobstructed position. If the photographers along the course can not see your bib number, we will have no way to get your photos to you.
Aid Stations
Aid stations will be located approximately every two miles along the courses. All aid stations will be supplied with electrolyte drinks, water, and basic first aid supplies. Additionally, various aid stations will be supplied with energy gels, fruit, and other nutritional items as well as medical personnel. The aid station map below indicates the locations of each aid station as well as the supplies and amenities available at each.
Powerade is the official electrolyte provider for Hoka One One REVEL Big Cottonwood. Aid stations will be supplied with Lemon Lime, Mountain Berry, and Fruit Punch Powerade. Gels at aid stations will include various flavors of Gu Energy Gels.
If you need to shed clothing during the race, please drop them at an aid station. Clothing left at aid stations will be available for retrieval at Scheels in Sandy, Utah for one week. After this time period all clothing will be donated to charity. The address is 11282 South State Street, Sandy, UT.
Safety & Medical
Course Safety
The canyon will be partially closed to traffic from 7:00 AM until 10:30 AM on race day. During this time, the westbound lane will be reserved for runners. Traffic in the eastbound lane will be limited to one direction, and will be coordinated by police escorts. Candlestick barricades will be placed every 80 feet along the center of the road, and for your safety you must stay to the right of these cones at all times while in the canyon.
Once runners leave the canyon, the course will continue to be marked by candlestick barricades and road signs. Race volunteers and police officers will be present at all major intersections and turns on the courses to guide runners and stop traffic when necessary. Runners must follow their directions at all times in order to ensure their safety. Any runners seen intentionally running on the wrong side of cones or barricades will be disqualified.
Medical Assistance
Each aid station will be supplied with a first-aid kit that will include items such as bandages, moleskin, vaseline, anti-inflammatories, etc. If you are in need of any of these items, simply stop and ask the volunteers at the aid station.
In addition to the first-aid kits, various aid stations will be staffed by medical volunteers and equipped with a medical tent and cots. See the Aid Stations section for more details.
Multiple sag wagons and ambulances will be roaming the course as well to respond to any emergencies and transport runners who cannot continue to the finish line. A full-service medical tent will also be at the finish line.
Alta View Hospital Medical Team
Our medical team from Alta View Hospital will be on hand to take care of everyone along the course and at the finish line. In addition to their help on race-day, they will be hosting two running-related medical lectures on July 17 and August 14 (more details will be announced soon). Also, Ask a Doc gives you direct access to Alta View's orthopedic and emergency medicine experts, who can help answer any questions you may have to help you get to the start line healthy in September.
Pacing & Time Limits
Pacers will be running both the full marathon and half marathon to lead everyone to a fast time. Because of the downhill nature and uniqueness of the courses, we will be using the Smart Pacing strategy, which is an effort-based pacing strategy that varies the pace of each mile based on the % grade. This pacing strategy has proven to be very effective, particularly on courses like Big Cottonwood.
Race Smart Pacebands has developed the charts below specifically for Hoka One One REVEL Big Cottonwood and has included all the paces our pacers will be running on race-day. Pacebands that are specific to REVEL Big Cottonwood will be available for purchase at the expo.
The full marathon will include pacers at various Boston-qualifying paces, including:
The half marathon will include pacers at the following paces:
Time Limits
Because road closures for the race must be re-opened for normal traffic, we are required to set course time limits. Road closures will be lifted based on a 6:00:00 marathon time. Any runners still on the course after the rolling cut-off times may continue to proceed along the course route to the finish area, but aid station and traffic control support will not be available.
For the full marathon, the cut-off time is equivalent to a 13:45/mile pace. This is equivalent to a very light jog or brisk power walk. Because the half marathon begins further down the canyon and heads straight to the finish line after exiting the canyon, the cut-off pace for the half marathon is slower than the full marathon, at roughly 22:00/mile.
While we can't predict the weather, we can provide some historical data for you for historical average temperatures on the date of the race:
Please remember that these are average temperatures for the Salt Lake Valley, and that temperatures in the canyon will likely be considerably cooler in the morning. While we will provide gloves and Mylar blankets, we highly recommend that you come prepared for cold temperatures at the start line by layering and then shedding your layers to put in your drop bag just before the race begins.
Spectator Locations
Because the canyon and Wasatch Boulevard will be completely closed to traffic, spectators will need to stake a spot out on Fort Union Boulevard. Refer your fan club to the course maps to plot out their desired locations. Spectators will also be allowed to park at the finish line to cheer you in and celebrate with you after you cross the line.
Results & Awards
Age Divisions
Age divisions follow the standard USATF guidelines and include the following:
Your results will be available shortly after you cross the finish line at the results tent indicated in the finish venue map. Results will also be posted online as soon as possible after the race.
All runners completing the race will receive one of our famous finisher's medals. Additional awards will be given to the top 3 runners in each age division. Runners that place in the top 3 of their age division can claim their awards at the awards booth, indicated in the finish venue map. Age division placers must pick up their awards at the race.
Awards & Ceremonies
Additional awards and prize money will be given to the top 3 overall finisher's in each race. The top 3 finishers in the half marathon will receive trophies, additional awards, and a cash prize of $300, $200, and $100, respectively. The top 3 finishers in the marathon will receive trophies, additional awards, and a cash prize of $500, $300, and $200, respectively.
Awards ceremonies will be held for the top 3 finishers in each race at the location indicated in the finish venue map. Times for the awards ceremonies are as follows:

Budgets & Bicycles: Oct. 17Saturday, October 16, 2010
Commissioner Terry Burns (R-Saugatuck Twp.) talks about the Allegan County Board's failure to pass a new budget, while Assistant South Haven City Manager Paul VandenBosch discusses a proposed US Bicycle Route 35 that would go through Holland. This program aired on Oct. 17, 2010.

Mike Evans, the former chairman of the state transportation board, this evening withdrew from the Republican race to replace U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal in Congress.
Evans is married to the former Gena Abraham, who served as state DOT commissioner.
This from a rather sobering note that Mike Evans just sent out to north Georgia supporters:
My profession, real estate development, has been especially hard hit. Many good friends of mine have gone bankrupt and others, like me, have struggled to hang on financially.
When I first entered this race for Congress, I thought I would have the financial wherewithal to campaign full time and maintain my financial obligations in this very tough market. Over the last couple of months, that has been increasingly difficult. Instead of campaigning or raising campaign funds, my time has been consumed with outside work trying to provide for my family and pay for two children in college and another headed to college soon.
Reassessing our financial position over the holidays forced Gena and I to face the hard reality that campaigning full time for the next six to 10 months will cause irreparable financial harm to my family.
So, today, I regretfully announce that I am withdrawing from the race for the 9th Congressional District.
Admittedly, this has been one of the most difficult decisions of my life. I have been deeply honored to have the support of so many quality people all across north Georgia. They have invested their time, money and sweat in standing up for the principles that have made our country so great.
While I will always stand with them for those principles, I am sorry that I cannot continue to stand for them as their candidate for Congress. For those who have volunteered their time and efforts, I will always remain deeply thankful. For those who have contributed their hard earned money in these tough times, I humbly thank you.
For instant updates, follow me on Twitter.

7:12 pm
Sounds like he is doing the right thing. Gena will be unemployed within 11 months and they need to plan ahead. Factor in a loss by Mike in his bid for Congress and they are facing hard times.
January 13th, 2010
7:17 pm
As I think about politics and the continuing budget challenges locally and nationally I can't help but be proud of the City of Atlanta, 8 members of the former Council, the Cabinet members and the employees for restoring fiscal accountability to the city's operations and making tough decisions. Today the city is operating in the black every month, without budget forced layoffs and furloughs. Starting last April the city closed its books on a monthly basis and since July 2009 has set aside reserves and operated in the black month after month. Now the Reed administration can build on a solid budget foundation taking the city to greater heights without fear of financial collapse or service cutbacks. Hooray for all those who helped make this so.

Shirley….you are slightly off-topic and apparently intoxicated.
January 13th, 2010
7:53 pm
Just curious, where is Gena working these days?
January 13th, 2010
8:18 pm
who cares where the one-person wrecking crew is working…..
January 13th, 2010
8:26 pm
John, Gena besides trying to wreck GDOT she was getting double billed by running SRTA too, I'm glad hes not running for office keep the crooks out of office.
January 13th, 2010
8:39 pm
I'm not a Mike and Gena apologist, but Gena was not being paid by SRTA when she was at GDOT even though she was the executive director. Once she was fired, she began drawing a salary from SRTA. However, I've heard she's not been there very much, which is probably a relief to her employees.
January 13th, 2010
8:52 pm
Her current salary is about $125,000…..not bad for an incompetent liar and trouble maker.
January 13th, 2010
10:10 pm
I'm OK now, so who cares?
January 13th, 2010
10:42 pm
Mike is out. This was not an easy decision for him to make and kicking him while he is down will accomplish nothing. We need to focus on sending Tom Graves to Washington to represent the common sense conservative values of the 9th District.
January 13th, 2010
10:46 pm
As a life-long Hall County resident, I decided long ago that Tom Graves and his bold message of conservative change in Washington are what we need!
There is a clear choice – Tom Graves.
January 13th, 2010
11:24 pm
There's a twist. I say Gena has a job with Sonny when he leaves office and Mike will run for another office in the 8th district, where people don't know their baggage.
January 14th, 2010
6:11 am
I was sure they would nominate him for Speaker of the House. Hopefully he won't show up in the public domain again. They put him on the payroll of Forsyth has a lobbyist to keep the ol boy employed. He and his wife got what they deserve.
January 14th, 2010
8:20 am
Grammar check Mike – it would be "Gena and me" not "Gena and I."
January 14th, 2010
10:11 am
Well Mike, you are right times are tough. But be honest, Gena wears the pants and told you to back away and be a good house boy. But not to worry, Gena will eventually screw you to.
January 14th, 2010
10:42 am
I'll never understand the problem that people had with Gena at GDOT. As far as I could tell she was a technocrat who didn't want to put up with the political bull*^#t that came along with the job. I always figured that was exactly what the agency needed. And frankly, I never gave one damn cent about who she was dating. I think she was pushed out because she actually wanted to have the transportation agency do their work and not respond to every political whim of the state house. I was sorry to see her go.
January 14th, 2010
10:50 am
Everything goes in circles. I'm glad to find out that Gena and Mike have now (and hopefully in the future) received their ticket on the pay back merry-go-round. Couldn't happen to a better set of candidates. I agree with "State Employee" Gena will probably kick ole "busted contractor" to the curb if he files B-ruptsy. Remember sex=30minutes / life=23 hours 30 minutes per day that you have to live with someone and sex is what put them together not DOT planning? Thank God for small miracles!!
January 14th, 2010
11:42 am
Hey Mike, In paragraph 3, it's "Gena and me", not "Gena and I." But nobody ever said you were smart.
January 14th, 2010
11:51 am
I is correct. An earthquake just killed hundreds of thousands of people and all you can think to do is belittle someone for bad grammar – when the grammar was correct in the first place? Rethink your priorities, people.
January 14th, 2010
12:55 pm
Grammar Checker, you need a new moniker. "I" is only used as a subject. "Me" is only used as an object. ("forced Gena" "forced me")
"Me" is correct. It's a silly point, yes, but what's not silly are the character issues that Mike and Gena revealed during her time at GDOT. They go much deeper than "who she was dating."
January 14th, 2010
1:40 pm
Ugh. Who cares!
January 14th, 2010
2:49 pm
Why Mike Evans or anyone ever thought he could win the 9th Congressional seat married to Gena Abraham Evans is a mystery to me. For the record, Gena disrepected almost everyone who ever came into contact with her. To those who think she was only let go because she was a "technocrat" trying to clean up DOT, well, sleeping with your boss while writing letters to employees demanding they abide by policy, rules and conduct themselves in a moral fashion is a sure road to getting dismissed. Gena got fired because she was sleeping with Mike, her then immediate superior (which BTW, on that same day she was still engaged to her former intern and student, MS, yes, there are emails to prove it) and for her completely unacceptable inappropriate behavior of using a state computer, on state email accounts and on STATE time to send her then lover highly illicit sexual emails. She was head of GSFIC when she pulled that stunt but it came to light during her tenure at GDOT. Sorry, state policy and an executive order by Gov. Sonny Perdue prohibit such emails. Mike should have known the day he married her he set himself up for politial failure. No, I don't think "love" ruled the day on that decision. I think he and Gena were caught and had to redeem themselves publicly. (notice how she never mentioned that she was engaged to another man on the day she and Mike were caught). Now, it has come full cirlce and rest of the story remains to be written.
January 15th, 2010
6:27 am
Mr. Evans has a problem as a politician keeping to his stated direction. First he wanted to be Chair at DOT, then he resigns after it became general knowledge of his relationship with the Commissioner. Then he begins a campaign for 9th District representative, which he then abandons. Mr. Evans doesn't think about his friends and supporters when he makes these decisions. He must be a pretty nice guy, because he gets support from many good, honorable people (think about Doug Collins, who was stripped of his committee assignments by Glen Richardson for supporting Mike for DOT Board or the donors to his current campaign). Good luck to him in his future endeavors, but we need representation for Georgia that will look forward to the consequences of their decisions before they make the committment that uses others resources.
January 15th, 2010
2:12 pm
Please don't forget that Gena was ousted, canned, fired etc for holding back payments from contractors that she didn't like – which I would suspect is against the law. And I also believe that her salary is the same as her former GDOT salary, which is closer to $175k plus a new SUV for the few hours she puts in… At least now she won't have to spend all that time driving around picking up campaign donations while she's on state time! And don't forget when you vote this fall that it was Casey Cagle who came to her rescue and strong armed the GDOT Board the first time they tried to get rid of her.
January 16th, 2010
6:27 pm
I found this on MikeEvans.org:
"Instead we must use American entrepreneurship to invent cars that get more miles to the gallon. We must incentivize behavior (not punish behavior as the left would have us do) that is good for the environment. I support reasonable, free market based incentives to encourage innovation and reduce threats to our environment."
funny…because Mike Evans drives a Hummer.
February 2nd, 2010
4:34 pm
Can't wait for the "queen of mean" to get fired once again… and take your cronies with you! It will take years to undue the damage she's done (like GBA, GSFIC, GDOT, SPO).
175k to run a toll booth? Only in corrupt GA state government. There's plenty more to come out on gena and crfonies. Stay tuned!
BTW, The night school lawyer will be fired too! Dumb and dumber on the emplyment line. Hope you run into a few of those you fired for no good reason other that they were a threat or you didn't like them.
February 3rd, 2010
8:15 pm
HJ and John, Gena does not earn $175,000. She actually earned $197,000 dollars in fiscal 2008/2009. This pay was essentially earned after she was ousted from GDOT. She will undeservably have a nice retirement with this level of earnings. If anyone needs proof of what I am saying about her salary, then go to the Georgia DOAA website and look under salary and travel for Gena Abraham/Gena Evans. The only solice for the many people you have hurt, is that one day you can't take it with you. May God forgive you for what you've done to them. You really need to grow a heart. You are nothing more than a unfeeling machine.
February 4th, 2010
6:05 pm
WHY…When your dating the person that cast the vote to elect you to a cushy undeserving job it is a conflict of interest. That's why people care about the dating thing.. People also care when there's a coverup of an investigation of criminal behavior of your boyfriend, who just happened to be an intern and her former ga tech student she hired directly. Again, conflict of interest, and this case blatantly illegal. If Elizabeth Archer was not a good friend (and there's plenty of e-mails to prove it), she would have investigated her and would sent her a formal request to GBI for criminal investigation. Instead the GBI is on a which hunt of Earl. Only in corrupt state govenment.
Villa Rica., She will never see the gates of St. Peter, though I pray that God forgives her.

Tuller no more?
- l
- Larry Brooks Aug 13, 2006 08:38 PM
boy that came without warning...
re: bothrops_asper
I did notice one of Tuller's cheese gurus is now at Stinky Brooklyn, which is fine with me. Stinky is a far more approachable store, in my opinion.
Could this be the first of many "Fairway" casualties? Stay tuned...it may not be pretty for Court Street once the specialty food stores feel the pinch of big-box competition.
To their credit, the local folks like FishTales, the Pacific Street corner and Marquet carry equivalent-to-better quality goods than FW. It's where a price-war could, unfortunately, tip the balance.
Funny thing is, Fairway can thrive in its Red Hook bubble as a one-stop-shop environment with parking lot, but if price and value are your key objectives, neighborhoods such as Brooklyn Chinatown (8th Avenue), Borough Park and Brighton Beach rule. Frankly, I see little difference between the boxes of Washington State cherries ($2.99/pound @ FW, browning and sticky, 3 pounds for $4.00 Chinatown) or Baby carrots ($1.00/bag most anywhere, $1.49 at FW)...those 50% - 200% differences add up folks.
And remember, the splashy Fairway print-ad has, count 'em, about a few dozen weekly sale specials...local supermarkets typically have a few hundred! It still bugs me that FW's printer repeats the "Red Hook, NY 11231" address mistake over and over.
Fairway is many things, including a recreational excursion and a place of refuge, a sunset-watching spot in the drop-dead view outdoor cafe...but continued patronage of neighborhood stores is no less significant.
re: Mike R.
And let's not forget Sahadi's. I was in there on Saturday and there was no line at the cashier.
re: dimples
My recollection is that Sahadi's is always quiet on summer Saturdays. I'm guessing that after Labor Day the usual bustle will return.
re: Marion Morgenthal
yeah...i'm not too worried about sahadi's losing business, and i'm sure charlie isn't either. if you have any doubts, go back the first saturday of september around noon, and take a number...as for tuller, hopefully the new owner will stock laboratorio del gelato and a good selection of bread -- the only items i would occasionally rely on tuller for.

re: Mike R.
I don't think Fairway will take over food boutique sales. It may effect ir but consider a few things:
1 There are many foodies who can't stand Fairway. Look no further than searching Chowhound archives for proof of that. These people will be loyal to whatever market(s) they've always been loyal to. I'm in between, having had lots of savings and mostly good food from Fairway and also being loyal to my local favorites.
2 Shops on Smith and Court, the Heights etc will -always- have foot traffic from commuters who don't particularly feel like getting in a car, cab, bus to get to Fairway. Sure there are Red Hook foodies that shop at Fairway. But for the larger financial share of the market, these people live in the Heights, Boerum, Cobble, Carroll areas. They will shop locally.
3 I for one, and maybe others, have no problem spening that 10-20% more to enjoy conversation and human intereaction with my foodstore managers and market employees. Sure I can save a load of dough at Fairway but small markets remind me of why I live in a borough like Brooklyn and not the burbs.
I do understand that having 10-20% to spend on shopping local is a luxury. Who knows? If I lose my job, maybe Fairway will be visited more often.
Maybe it's just a sign of the 'smithification' of the neighborhood. Smith is the place to be, with restaurants openning all the time, and even the Met market carrying organic foods and specialty cheeses. I think businesses on Henry are going to find it harder and harder to compete with so much more foot traffic on
re: bhill
I really don't see a " Smithification" of the neighborhood. If there were as much quality on Court as Smith then I'd walk to Court. Besides...there is -plenty- of quality on Court.
Also in regards to Smith, sure there are restaurants opening all the time but there are also restaurants -closing- all the time. ALL the time. I give Sapodilla til Christmas unless they get a godamn sign. But anyways...
Henry will suffer only as a consequence of being rude and unfriendly to non locals and non Italians. If they could open up to newcomers in gentrifying Brooklyn they could make way more money.
re: overit
It's only as simple as that if you believe what the staff/new owner are saying.
I am a regular Fairway - Red Hook shopper. I only buy fish from Fish Tales. The quality and service are too good to switch. Tuller was very overpriced and service was not great. I have not checked out Stinky Brooklyn yet, but I will soon.
"Henry will suffer only as a consequence of being rude and unfriendly to non locals and non Italians. If they could open up to newcomers in gentrifying Brooklyn they could make way more money. "
As a native Brooklynite and someone who's family grew up on Union & Smith street this is a pretty offensive comment. Stores like Mazzola for example have made improvements to change with the times too. The way customers are treated also goes both ways. If you treat a shop keeper like a robot they'll respond that way. I've been in line enough times to see people on their cellphones not paying attention to girls on line calling next. They also spit out the orders with the same lackluster as being in Starbucks. I know everyone in Mazzolla and they know my daughter and husband and ask how they are everyday.
I've seen people come in handing a credit card for a $5 order and surprised when told it's cash only. One woman went so far as to ask where the policy is posted. If you want that experience then go someplace else because there will hopefully always be customers who appreciate the warmth, knowledge and smiles that only shopping local can provide.
re: time2eat
Where in my post did I say anything about Mazzola? I too am a regular from the area ( almost 20 years) and also love their service and HATE those people you refer to. Please don't assume that just because I made a general comment about Henry street that I specifically made any comments.
Mazzola was never mentioned in my post.
I found Tuller to be way overpriced. And I'm usually willing to pay a premium for quality, but they were pushing it. Fairway is a trip (in more ways than one) but I will still be shopping mostly at Mazzola, Stinky, Sahadi, Fish Tales, Caputos, etc. and the supermarket on Henry. Wish I didn't have to walk all the way to Blue Pig for a really good ice cream cone (but I did it the other day and boy was it yummy!)
My reply was simply a statement about how a native Italian-American who grew up in the neighborhood could be offended by your comment about shop keepers not welcoming a "non-Italian". My apologies if that was unclear. Though you didn't mention Mazzolla, I used it as an example since it is one of the few stores on Henry Street left where the owners would even remember the old make up of the neighborhood. Naidre's, Crave, et al are all too new to fit into that category.
General comments can only lead to one making they're own inferences.

The Last Windrow: An old-fashioned Thanksgiving
We are headed, together, toward the bowl of red cranberries, the side of bread dressing and the slice of turkey. It is the time of year when we put the harvest to bed and start thinking of the holidays.
Of course, the holidays start a little earlier than they used to, like the day after Labor Day in retail terms.

To say Capital Teas? founders, Manelle and Peter Martino, know tea might be a bit of an understatement. Fifth-generation tea merchant Manelle?s great-great-grandfather, Francis Van Reyk, was a Dutch tea planter who immigrated in the 1870s to present-day Sri Lanka, where he planted and managed the Diyagama Tea Estate, from which the Martinos now source their Great Grandfather?s tea. Manelle?s family has been in the tea trade ever since, a tradition she has carried to her own specialty tea business, which has boutique locations throughout the Washington D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland area. Additionally, Peter has become a popular speaker at World Tea Expos, where he frequently educates and inspires the tea world.
In addition to tea from Sri Lanka, Capital Teas carries more than 200 loose teas and herbal infusions from 18 countries including India, China, Japan, Malawi, and Kenya. A sniffing wall dispenses wafts of black, oolong, and green teas, and knowledgeable employees drift around the store?s tasting stations to explain each flavor?s nuances.
Capital Teas also pairs customers with accompaniments such as teapots, infusers, treats, and artisanal honey. In-store patrons may sample free tea samples?which are brewed fresh daily?while online purchasers receive a free sample with every order.
Sowing the seeds of garden-fresh deli fare, Nature's Table Cafe has sprouted 75 locations in 10 states since its founding in 1977. Health-conscious menus bloom with vegetarian and gluten-free dishes alongside classic sandwiches filled with roast beef and grilled chicken breast. Cheesy paninis melt under the heat and meaningful glances emanating from a hot press, while more modest wraps conceal Mexican-, Mediterranean-, American-, and Thai-style fillings. Suffused with the essence of jasmine, rice bowls offer bellies a refreshing salad alternative, though Nature's Table Cafe's salad selection draws in loyal taste buds with fresh veggies and surprising combinations of grilled chicken, fruit, and chèvre cheese. Catering services unfailingly fill bellies at office parties, family get-togethers, and black-tie duck soirees.:
A product of longtime best friends and entrepreneurs Lonnie Moore and Mike Malin, whose The Dolce Group has launched successful eateries across the globe, Ketchup reinterprets childhood favorites in a sleek, contemporary atmosphere. Diners saunter through a space alive with a red, white, and black color scheme, relaxing in curvy, red banquettes or futuristic-looking chairs designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The tabletops and slatted room dividers boast comic-book-style pop art, ready to transfer onto any on hand Silly Putty, and the walls talk with whimsical portraits of ketchup and mustard bottles holding hands and Heinz bottles fading into clouds of pointillism.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, chefs spin memories of Shake 'n Bake and macaroni washed down with Kool-Aid, creating gourmet masterpieces. Lobster finds its way into mac 'n' cheese, and hot dogs benefit from Kobe beef—both in the dog itself and in the chili on top. And there are plenty of options when it comes time for french fry dipping. Ketchup flavors such as root beer, ranch, and chipotle pay homage to the restaurant's moniker, livening up Angus burgers topped with market-fresh heirloom tomatoes and Irish cheddar cheese. Moore and Malin's jazzed-up comfort food has even caught on at a sister location in Saudi Arabia, and the duo is opening another site in Istanbul, Turkey.
More than 150 varieties of wine, beer, and spirits flow freely into souvenir glasses, slaking thirsty throats with unlimited sips as guests nibble artisanal snacks at the National Harbor Wine and Food Festival's tasting stations. More than 100 international wines and local libations activate palates, and guests venture to the tasting theater to take in a seminar from wine pairers and gourmet chefs. Live steel-drum music sets the beachy airwaves quivering as attendees relax in the whiskey-and-bourbon lounge and experts demonstrate how to hand roll cigars, a skill that impresses friends and stops rival spies from secretly filling the cigar with live wolverines.

And if so, did the Ki invent the triangles? According to AP, weren't they in a dark age?

[Description of the kidney and pancreas]
Functions of the Kidney/Pancreas
The kidneys are a pair of reddish-brown organs located on either side of the spine just below the diaphragm, behind the liver and stomach. They are bean-shaped and about 4 and one half inches long, 2 and one half inches wide and 1 inch thick. The primary function of the kidneys is to remove waste from the body through the production of urine. They also help to regulate blood pressure, blood volume, and the chemical (electrolyte) composition of the blood.
Renal failure is the inability of the kidneys to remove wastes and maintain electrolyte balance. Acute renal failure, characterized by inability to produce urine and an accumulation of wastes, is often associated with trauma, burns, acute infection, or obstruction of the urinary tract. Its treatment depends on the cause and often includes antibiotics and reduced fluid intake. Chronic kidney failure, which may occur as a result of many systemic disorders, causes fatigue and sluggishness, diminished urine output, anemia, and often complications of hypertension and congestive heart failure. The treatment depends on the cause, often involving the use of diuretics, restricted protein intake, and, if the kidney failure cannot be otherwise treated, dialysis and/or transplantation.
The pancreas is a 5 to 6 inch gland located behind the stomach; it extends horizontally between the duodenum and the spleen. One function of the pancreas is to produce enzymes that are used for digestion. It also produces insulin, which is essential for life because it regulates the use of blood sugar throughout the body.
Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Procedures
A kidney transplant may involve one or both kidneys if the donor is cadaveric and only one kidney if the donor is living. In most transplants, only one kidney is transplanted. But, in certain circumstances, particularly if the donor is less than ideal, two kidneys may be transplanted. There is also some experimental work being done on splitting kidneys prior to transplanting them, resulting in two recipients per kidney but this is still extremely rare in practice.
A pancreas transplant may involve either the whole pancreas or a pancreas segment. Whole organ transplants are far more common but a segmental transplant is possible. A specific case where this would be done is if a living donor is involved. Many pancreas transplants also involve transplantation of the duodenum.
The kidney is frequently transplanted with the pancreas in the U.S. Many people suffering from pancreas failure also have renal failure. In most cases a kidney-pancreas transplant is performed from a cadaveric donor. But there have been several transplants performed using a living donor, with one kidney and a pancreas segment being donated.

In what the Daniel Mongiardo U.S. Senate campaign is calling a "stunning upset" in Jack Conway's hometown, Louisville's Central Labor Council has voted to endorse Mongiardo in the Democrat primary.
According to the campaign, Mongiardo received 76% of the votes cast from delegates representing 17 labor unions and more than 28,000 workers in the Metro area.
"I know it took courage to publicly stand with me in my opponent's home town,"Mongiardo said in a statement.
Jack Conway has union support from the United Food and Commercial Workers, Teamsters, and the Jefferson County Teachers Association. All told, the Conway camp says the unions represent about 100,000 Kentuckians.
In addition to the latest endorsement, Mongiardo's union support includes the Kentucky United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, International Union of Operating Engineers in Henderson, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Owensboro Area Building Construction and Trades Council, Tri-State Building and Construction Trades Council and Western Kentucky Area Central Labor Council.
Here's the Mongiardo release:
Mongiardo Wins Support of
Louisville's Central Labor Council
Pulls off Stunning Upset in Conway's Hometown
Greater Louisville Central Labor Council Votes
to Recommend State AFL-CIO Endorse Mongiardo
FRANKFORT – The Greater Louisville Central Labor Council (GLCLC) voted overwhelmingly on Saturday afternoon to officially recommend to the Kentucky State AFL-CIO that it endorse Lt. Governor Daniel Mongiardo in the Kentucky Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate.
Upon learning of the Louisville labor group's recommendation, Mongiardo said, "While I consider many members of the Central Labor Council as friends, I know it took courage to publicly stand with me in my opponent's home town. I am humbled by labor's support because their action demonstrates they trust me to stand up and fight for them – to put the interests of Kentucky's working families and small businesses on Main Street ahead of Washington establishment politics and Wall Street. I will be a Senator who puts the interests of Kentucky working families first."
Louisville's Central Labor Council is widely considered one of the most politically powerful and influential labor organizations in the Louisville-Metro area. Mongiardo's stunning upset gives him a momentum boost in his effort to pick up more labor endorsements going forward; but more importantly, it gives Mongiardo a huge boost in Jefferson County where Conway must win overwhelmingly. Mongiardo's strong showing Saturday suggests that Conway may be more vulnerable in his home town and the state's largest city than many political observers and pundits first thought.
Mongiardo received 76% of the votes cast from delegates representing 17 labor unions and more than 28,000 working men and women in the Louisville-Metro area.
While Mongiardo has won broad labor support from every region of the Commonwealth, Conway has yet to win the endorsement of a single labor union not headquartered in his hometown of Louisville.
In addition to the Greater Louisville Central Labor Council, Mongiardo has also won either the endorsement or the official recommendation for endorsement from the Western Kentucky Central Labor Council, the Owensboro Area Building & Construction Trades Council, the Tri-State Building & Construction Trades Council and Kentucky Machinists. Mongiardo has received statewide endorsements from the UA – Pipe Trades, Laborers, Electrical Workers and Operating Engineers.

Early in the development of "The Lego Movie," Jill Wilfert, the executive who oversees Lego's licensing efforts in Southern California, had a question for her bosses at company headquarters in Denmark: Can we have a character die?
"It wasn't something we ever had to really think about before," Wilfert said. "But we had to think about it now."
Their conclusion was yes, and it became one of a number of freedoms the company allowed Warner Bros., producer Dan Lin and writer-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller in creating the most freewheeling and reference-packed picture to come out of film's branded-movie era.
PHOTOS: Actors who've been turned down for famous roles
"Lego"--which as of Thursday had garnered a rare 100% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and was expected to open upward of $50 million this weekend--is a rare Big Hollywood entertainment with a playful subversiveness, the world's first postmodern toy film. Its very existence is an object lesson of sorts — evidence of how the right mix of filmmaker whimsy, corporate latitude and, perhaps, Hollywood newbieness can align for something original in a culture of big-budget sameness.
Hollywood has been riding a toy wave since the first "Transformers" picture in 2007, with franchises both successful ("G.I. Joe"), stalled ("Battleship") and stuck in development ("He-Man"). But where most films have used a toy as little more than a pretext for a big action movie, "Lego" takes a different approach.
Themes inherent to the product--the tension between following instructions and going your own way--form the film's spine. With a unique visual look that includes splashy 3-D colors and limited points of articulation, characters in "The Lego Movie" also look and move uncommonly like the toy.
But most surprisingly, "The Lego Movie" pokes fun at the very idea of a toy film.
"There are thematic things that you wouldn't expect to see in a kids movie that we feel like we're getting to say," Lord said.
Or as Alison Brie, who costars as the movie's hybrid unicorn-feline Unikitty, puts it: "With a lot of animated movies, there are jokes for adults. But the idea here extends past the comedy so that there are a lot of conceptual things for them too."
BEST MOVIES OF 2013: Turan | Sharkey | Olsen
The movie portrays a world in which the evil president Lord Business (voiced by Will Ferrell) rules over a land made numb by inane reality TV and fast-food giveaways. The rare independent-minded type, known as a Master Builder, is drowned out by the conformists.
Landing with a jolly shake of his mini-arm is Emmet (Chris Pratt), a cheerful rule-follower whiling away his days in an anonymous construction job. ("I guess Phil and Chris captured something about my real personality," Pratt said, jovially.) Soon, though, Emmet meets the rebel spirit Wyldstyle (Elizabeth Banks), who mistakes him for a Neo-like chosen one and corrals him into adventures through various Lego worlds.
CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch, where to go, what to eat
As Emmet and Wyldstyle embark on their frenetic adventures — filled with references, asides and non sequiturs (Siri jokes, anyone?) — they run into characters from modern Lego sets and pop culture at large. Many are Warner Bros. and DC Comics entities — Harry Potter, Gandalf, Batman (played with a suave jerkiness by Will Arnett). Others, though, come licensed from the vaults of other companies, such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the heroes of "Star Wars" and NBA stars such as Shaquille O'Neal.
Though the effect is to advertise the branded Lego sets that have become the company's bread and butter, much of this is handled tongue-in-cheek, a piling on of the marketing while winking at the idea of piling on the marketing. A quick cutaway to Lego sets that feels like product placement is in fact a self-deprecating reference to failed lines like Clown Town.
"What I love about what Lego let us do is that they let us have a wink at themselves," said producer Lin. "'Is that product placement? No, it's actually a joke about product placement.'"
Epitomizing that have-it-both ways postmodernism: the movie's theme song, "Everything Is Awesome," an impossibly sunny number sung by Tegan and Sara and Lonely Island that is embraced by Emmet--and which manages to satisfy animation audiences' need for infectious synth-pop and simultaneously making fun of that very need.
How a movie this unusual came to be assembled by a studio and a toy giant is a question as intricate as one of its trademark kits.
For years, Lego — the world's second-largest toy company but, as a privately held Scandinavian firm, rooted in a culture physically and spiritually far from Hollywood — resisted a movie. The company eventually came to back a video game and a pair of cable series, but it turned down numerous movie pitches it thought didn't fit with its brand. And it rejected the Hollywood agency-brokered deals that for a time gripped Hasbro and other toy giants.

I'm trying to try to come to grips with the Republicans' position on the upcoming debt-ceiling vote. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, for example, repeatedly refers to it as a "leverage moment" (see here and here).
As The Hill reports, Cantor got a little more specific over the weekend how such "leverage" might be used:
"Cantor, appearing on "Fox News Sunday," said Republicans can use the upcoming debt-limit vote to push through Medicare and Medicaid reforms outlined in their 2012 budget. The plan, which would eventually turn Medicare into a voucher-like program and convert Medicaid to block grants, virtually has no chance of passing through a Democratic Senate or White House on its own."
Just to be clear, those changes would mean the abolition of Medicare for those younger than 55. In its current form, the program represents a government commitment to medical care for senior citizens. Under the plan pushed by Cantor, Rep. Paul Ryan and others, that commitment ends. It

The stunning fall from power of President Mohamed Mursi, and the Muslim Brotherhood which backed him, has upended politics in the volatile Middle East for a second time after the Arab Spring uprisings toppled veteran autocrats.
Some of the principal causes were highlighted a month before the army intervened to remove Mursi, when two of Egypt's most senior power brokers met for a private dinner at the home of liberal politician Ayman Nour on the island of Zamalek, a lush bourgeois oasis in the midst of Cairo's seething megalopolis. It was seen by some as a last attempt to avert a showdown.
The two power brokers were Amr Moussa, 76, a long-time foreign minister under Mubarak and now a secular nationalist politician, and Khairat El-Shater, 63, the Brotherhood's deputy leader and most influential strategist and financier. Moussa suggested that to avoid confrontation, Mursi should heed opposition demands, including a change of government.
"He (Shater) acknowledged what I said about the bad management of Egyptian affairs under their government and that there is a problem," Moussa told Reuters. "He was talking carefully and listening attentively."
