For that group size, you may want to contact them directly to make arrangements and discuss menu. I've eaten there several times and roundly enjoyed everything: food, service, and ambiance.
Also, I hosted my birthday dinner there last summer for 12 of us, but reserved/used the cooking school kitchen for a private class group event. I consulted with the chef on the menu and ingredients, and we all took part in the preparation and cooking of the dinner. Now you may not want to work (or have others work) during your dinner party, but we all had a great time, and it allowed us all to interact constantly during the time, learn a little, and have a lot of fun without worrying how loud we were and possibly disturbing other patrons.
We started with cocktails and appetizers on the patio, then moved into the kitchen to prep and cook dinner, rotating through a couple of different stations. At the end, we all gathered around a big table in the kitchen/classroom to eat.
For a 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm event on a Sunday night, the cost was $130 per person. I brought my own case of wine, so there was a $35 per bottle corkage fee. I also asked to extend the start and end times, which added an extra $15 per person per 30 minutes. Add 20% gratuity and 7% tax.

Manolo's is great. Consider also Spirito's in Elizabeth.

Well, it is Newark and we do have our standards you know. No painted faces at the bar. You might scare the women-folk.

The Monk Room had their 1 year anniversary last month, and appear to have settled in reasonably well. It's great to have them in the neighborhood.
I stopped in last week after a few months since my last visit. Still a great place with great food, but a couple of changes to the menu that I didn't like so much: the octopus salad is now gone and the pasta comes only in one size - and it's a main course portion. The octopus is dearly missed and the smaller pasta portion meant I used to be able to eat one of those plus a salad for dinner.
Closing time is a little earlier (now 8 pm) on non-event weeknights than it used to be, which makes it a squeeze for me after work sometimes, but likely reflects the reality of lighter patron traffic on those nights.

I think I can make this, and looking forward to it. I remember meeting up with a similar crowd of Chowhounds at the Park East in Hazlet a few years ago...

Best Restaurants near NJPAC in Newark, NJ?
There's a new place that just opened up last month: Duke's Southern Table. Featuring "southern fare" with live jazz on many nights.
I've only been there once so far, so I'll hold my review until I have some additional data points. I think it's worth a try though, and just a few short blocks' walk to/from NJPAC.

I realize this is an old thread, but I just saw some comments on Yelp that mentioned that the way they make their ravioli had changed about a year ago...
It's probably been about 2 years since I've been to Spirito's. Has anyone visited in the last year or so? If I go back in a couple of weeks, will the ravioli be as wonderful as they'd always been in the past?

I've been here twice in the last two months, both times on a Saturday night. Great food, nice service, all around enjoyable meals that exceeded my expectations.
Nice list of specialty cocktails and an eclectic wine list. In both cases, I think something for everyone to like. I enjoyed the Silver Spur (Tanqueray Gin, Sparkling Rose, cardamom syrup, fresh mint) and the Porch Swing (house infused watermelon vodka, lemonade, champagne splash, fresh mint) on my two visits. Cocktails are $8 each and come in a mason jar.
Everyone enjoyed the shared starters, each with nicely distinct rich flavors and a feeling of indulgence: fried green tomatoes, feta cheese, peach chutney aioli ($8), grilled daily flatbread which came with pork belly the time we had it ($8), and the ahi tuna tar-tar with cucumber, tomato, corn & feta with cilantro aioli & balsamic ($11).
The main courses were all hits too:
Wicked good seafood stew (mussels, clams, fish, shrimp, and scallop with sausage and potato in a lobster saffron broth with pesto and grilled crostini) ($27)
Whole bronzino creamy grits, arugula, olive-caper gremolata, grilled lemon ($27)
Steel Magnolias shrimp & grits, andouille sausage, roasted red pepper gravy ($17)
Sea scallops & pork belly, smoked gouda grits, sage brown sugar glaze ($28)
The place fills up quickly with a mix of ages and styles, and has a good vibe. The main dining room on the ground floor can get a little noisy, but you can always escape to the roof top where there's live music on select nights.
Frankly, I'm surprised not to see the restaurant already on Chowhound. As far as I've been able to tell (during my recent limited visits to Valdosta the last several months), this may be the best restaurant in town. (Oops, or maybe I'm letting the secret out!)

For those coming from out of town, it's an easy 3 miles and a straight run off of I-75.

Stopped by for dinner on Saturday night, and really enjoyed the food.
We stuck with a mix of cold and hot starters and a salad. The portions are sizable. The "Pikilia tis Pareas" is an assortment of 5 mezedes -- the melitzanosalata (eggplant), tzatziki (cucumber & yogurt), hummus, fava bean spread, and skordalia (mashed potato) -- with pita, and can easily feed 3 people. The hummus this night featured chick peas and black eyed peas, which gave it a non-traditional color. All were really good and had great texture. All had healthy amounts of garlic.
The oktapodi (cold octopus salad) was more pickled and vinegary than I've had anywhere else (think giardiniera), and it really grew on me as I kept going back to it throughout the meal.
The Ellinikia salata (greek salad) was also large, and well-balanced; tasted very fresh. Big chunks of feta too.
The Gigantes beans in tomato sauce were ok, and were probably the weakest dish of the evening. Usually a favorite of mine, the tomato sauce seemed a little BBQ saucy here.
Finally the oktapodi sta karvouna (grilled octopus) -- yes we had octopus two ways in one meal! -- was simple, charred, and satisfying.
All in, I think the tab was about $70 (not including the wine) for the two of us, and included several unfinished items to take home.
Service by the FOH and the wait-staff was very pleasant and eager to please. I'll be back to try some of their main courses, which include traditional greek dishes (and a vegetarian variety of moussaka in addition to the one with ground beef), grilled meats, and seafood including a whole fish of the day.
The place was packed by 7:30 PM, but tables turned-over at a pretty good pace. With the warmer weather, there's a couple of tables out front on Main St, and several more in the courtyard in the back.
It's BYOB, and they have a nice little arrangement with UnWined Boutique, next door. The restaurant has a brief list of bottles and prices, you can make a quick call and there's free delivery, or you can run out the back door, visit the shop and pick something out yourself. Restaurant patrons get a 10% discount.
Open for lunch (Monday - Friday) and dinner (7 days).
Take care: as of this date, the Millburn location is not accepting reservations. And the listing on OpenTable which is clearly labeled "12 Islands of Stirling" is for the Stirling location only.

It is indeed the.best.salmon.ever.
I've had it from Yama-san many times over the years at the Hump and subsequently at Yamakase. I do believe that it's seasonal, however, so may not be available for special order at any time, even by Yama-san. I'm thinking it's an October - November kind of a thing.

Well on a mid-week (and non event) night, I parked curb-side on the street pretty much right in front of the restaurant for free. Plenty of pay-lots within a block or so given its closeness to the Prudential Center.

I stopped in for a quick dinner last week. Super staff, nice looking room, plenty of exposed brick, great food. I had a "Caprazy" ($8) starter of fresh mozzarella and fire roasted tomatoes, and a "14 1/2" pizza ($16) with San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and homemade ricotta. Both were very good.
No octopus on the menu yet, but according to a post by tommy:eats, The Monk Room has tweeted that it may be coming soon:
Great addition to the area. They're open for lunch and dinner now, and considering brunch.

Since you didn't limit your query to "where should we eat?" I suggest you also make a visit to Sickles Market in Little Silver and the H-Mart in Edison.
Bringing my nieces and nephew to Spirito's tonight for their first visit and those wonderful ravioli.
Asian/latin/Speciality Markets near Lakewood
Unless things have changed since I left the Toms River area about a year ago, there's a small Asian (Filipino) market called "Little Divisoria" in the Pleasant Plains section right on Rt 9 / Lakewood Ave on the stretch south of Rt 70 and north of the GSP. It's in the strip mall behind Aamantran, an Indian restaurant.
If you expand the scope of Asia a little... there's also a great little Turkish market called "Yener" (actually the sign says "European Food Market") another couple of miles south on the other side of the GSP overpass (in the same strip mall as El Familiar & Il Giardinello restaurants). Best pita around - brought in fresh once a week.
How about Nico Kitchen + Bar at NJPAC? That might be as nice a "room" as there is in the immediate area.
Sep 29, 2013njfreqflyer in New Jersey
No, that's been a Boston Pizza for a few years.
Mulligans is up a little farther north on the southbound side of Hooper near the Brick line. Between Church/Kettle Creek Rd and Silver Bay Rd.
Was a good place for a drink and some live music.

After NJPAC concert dining options?
+1 for Seabra's. It's the real deal. Sit at the counter (bar) if you can.
It looks like you're visiting from the Boston area. Nico's is good, but not special. Seabra's is worth the visit. I assume you're staying in either the Hilton or the Marriott Courtyard. It will be less than a 5 minute taxi ride to get back there, and taxis should be available at the corner near Seabra's even at the late hour (or easily summoned by phone).

Mitsuwa -- what should I pick up
Yuzu. (citrus)
May 24, 2013njfreqflyer in New Jersey
Mitsuwa Edgewater NJ sashimi quality
Most of the sea urchin sold at Mitsuwa (and consumed here in the U.S.) is going to come from Santa B or San Diego. In fact, a lot of our west coast sea urchin goes to Japan since the Hokkaido supplies can not meet their domestic demand.
H-Mart (at least the one in Edison) also sells packaged uni. Although in my opinion, the grade there is a lower quality than those sold at Mitsuwa.
I've never seen "on request" sushi made-to-order. In the past, I have purchased some of their party platters which have been very well received. As stated elsewhere, the fish and sushi from Mitsuwa is better than 99% of the sushi retail outlets in NJ.

How about Manu's in Newark (Ironbound)? I've only been there once, but I thought it had a good vibe.
May 12, 2013njfreqflyer in New Jersey
New to the Toms River Area can someone tell me about any good restaurants in the area? (please no chains thank you)
Solid recommendations from board regulars on Siam Spice and El Familiar within TR proper. Nobi is the best sushi you're going to get in the area, but it's been a while since I've been there.
I eat very well and frequently at Villa Vittoria in Brick. Another great place is Atlantic Bar & Grill in South Seaside Park which has re-opened, with Chef Mike back at the helm.
Take note: if you're new to the NJ restaurant & BYOB scene, not all restaurants have a liquor license. Of those above, VV and ABQ do have full service.
Apr 14, 2013njfreqflyer in New Jersey
Glad you enjoyed it. I was there Sunday night for one of my periodic visits, and I think the jamon is actually iberico.
"Sushi bar" may not do justice to the setting. It's more like a counter seat at Yama-san's in own kitchen / dining room. There's no little glass display case separating the diner and the chef. You sit at the counter and can see everything he's doing to prepare your food.
And as someone who has been to Urasawa, I would rather go to Yamakase any day and every day. In my opinion, it's better, more enjoyable, and certainly has a lower price point. The guidance in this thread and others about price is accurate. Plan for $200 and up.

There has never been a corkage fee in the many times I have been there. Perhaps foddiemahoodie meant "tip and tax."

Joint Schemes for Physical Layer Security and Error Correction
Date: August 2011
Creator: Adamo, Oluwayomi Bamidele
Description: The major challenges facing resource constraint wireless devices are error resilience, security and speed. Three joint schemes are presented in this research which could be broadly divided into error correction based and cipher based. The error correction based ciphers take advantage of the properties of LDPC codes and Nordstrom Robinson code. A cipher-based cryptosystem is also presented in this research. The complexity of this scheme is reduced compared to conventional schemes. The securities of the ciphers are analyzed against known-plaintext and chosen-plaintext attacks and are found to be secure. Randomization test was also conducted on these schemes and the results are presented. For the proof of concept, the schemes were implemented in software and hardware and these shows a reduction in hardware usage compared to conventional schemes. As a result, joint schemes for error correction and security provide security to the physical layer of wireless communication systems, a layer in the protocol stack where currently little or no security is implemented. In this physical layer security approach, the properties of powerful error correcting codes are exploited to deliver reliability to the intended parties, high security against eavesdroppers and efficiency in communication system. The notion of a highly secure and reliable ...

Jon Christopher Nelson's Fantasies and Flourishes: An Interactive Concerto for Disklavier and Orchestra: A Performance Analysis
Date: August 2007
Creator: Marosek, Scott
Description: Jon Christopher Nelson's Fantasies and Flourishes: An Interactive Concerto for Disklavier and Orchestra (1995) is the first interactive work to present the Disklavier as the solo instrument in a concerto with orchestra. The purpose of this study is to provide an analysis of Fantasies and Flourishes and advice on how to successfully present it in performance. Fantasies and Flourishes reveals the composer's interest in the music of Elliot Carter, in particular his A Symphony of Three Orchestras. The entire work is based on the two all-interval tetrachords also used by Carter; in Fantasies and Flourishes, these tetrachords are combined to form seven octachords that are used in various manipulations. The Disklavier is an acoustic piano that can be played by a performer, can play by itself, or can be controlled by a computer program. In interactive works for Disklavier, a pianist plays on the Disklavier while the Disklavier plays by itself, much like if a pianist were to play on a player piano while the piano was also playing by itself. However, in interactive Disklavier music the pianist's performance affects what the Disklavier plays; particular notes in the piano part trigger the Disklavier's music. Chapter I provides an introduction to ...

José Antonio Gómez´s Versos Para Órgano (Section I): a Practical Guide for Performance
Date: August 2012
Creator: Carrasco Curíntzita, Laura A.
Description: José Antonio Gómez is an important figure in Mexican music history and his works are considered representative of the beginning of Mexico´s Independent era. Some musicians are familiar with Gómez´s choral output but his organ music is rarely considered. Due to the lack of an edition of Gómez´s Versets for Organ, a practical guide was found needed to aid its performance. This study is based on performance, analysis, and direct work on the only known source for it. The first chapter, Introduction, presents the argument for an edited version of the first part of the manuscript as a performance guide. The second provides biographical information on the composer. The third chapter discusses the background for the original performance of the Versets for Organ. Chapter 4 provides performance considerations for the works. The edition of the manuscript is included in chapter 5.

Joseph Holbrooke: A Study of the Published and Unpublished Solo and Chamber Works for Clarinet with an Annotated Bibliography
Date: May 2009
Creator: Webb, Joseph Dee
Description: The name Joseph Holbrooke is, for the most part, unknown today, but that was not the case in the early years of the 20th century. Conductors such as Sir Thomas Beecham and Henry Wood performed his works throughout England, and his opera, The Children of Don, was performed in Vienna and Salzburg. However, his popularity did not last, and the performances of his works began to decline sharply after 1925. By the last quarter of the 20th century, performances of his works were very rare, even in England, and most, if not all, were out of print. As reason for this decline, some have cited the long duration and large instrumentation required by some his works, while others have said the neglect is well deserved, but the critical pendulum now seems to be swinging in the other direction. Many of his pieces have come back into print and new recordings are being released. This is especially good news for clarinetists because of the quality and number of his works for that instrument. His compositions for clarinet include chamber and solo works, and a double concerto for clarinet and bassoon. These melodic and intriguing works for the clarinet deserve more investigation ...

Josephus' Jewish War and the Causes of the Jewish Revolt: Re-examining Inevitability
Date: December 2013
Creator: Lopez, Javier
Description: The Jewish revolt against the Romans in 66 CE can be seen as the culmination of years of oppression at the hands of their Roman overlords. The first-century historian Josephus narrates the developments of the war and the events prior. A member of the priestly class and a general in the war, Josephus provides us a detailed account that has long troubled historians. This book was an attempt by Josephus to explain the nature of the war to his primary audience of predominantly angry and grieving Jews. The causes of the war are explained in different terms, ranging from Roman provincial administration, Jewish apocalypticism, and Jewish internal struggles. The Jews eventually reached a tipping point and engaged the Romans in open revolt. Josephus was adamant that the origin of the revolt remained with a few, youthful individuals who were able to persuade the country to rebel. This thesis emphasizes the causes of the war as Josephus saw them and how they are reflected both within The Jewish War and the later work Jewish Antiquities. By observing the Roman provincial administration spanning 6-66 CE, I argue that Judaea had low moments sprinkled throughout the time but in 66 there was something ...

Detailed accounts of the pre-production, production, and post-production of the video guide the reader to understand the challenging and rewarding process of making this documentary. Theoretical issues are also discussed, including Bill Nichols's typology of documentary modes as a useful tool for analysis of hybrid documentaries and conventions of the observational and interactive mode in Journey for Jazz, which is considered a hybrid of both modes. The film focuses mainly on the scholarly and artistic experiences that the four students undergo while studying jazz in the United States.

The jokes were biting, the gowns were gorgeous and the hair was big (and feathered) at the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday night.
Beth Behrs, Sofia Vergara and Claire Danes all were rocking their version of the Farrah Fawcett — between Behrs's wispy, sideswept bangs, Vergara's cascading curls and Danes's outwardly swept, feathered and curled front tendrils, the three stars could have recreated Fawcett's iconic poster.
And though the hair was retro, the gowns were all modern (Behrs wore Donna Karan Atelier, Vergara was in Herve L Leroux and Danes wore Prada). And all three ladies were some of the most stunning at the party (and they had some major competition!)

Le Château Saint-Germain is an elegant and luxurious three-bedroom/three-bath apartment (or two-bedroom with separate studio) located in the very heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district of Paris with a view on the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and steps from the liveliest part of the quartier. Visitors to Paris who are lucky enough to make themselves at home here will be talking about their delightful stay for years to come and return as often as they can.
This gem will appeal to those looking for 3 separate bedrooms, each with it's own ensuite bathroom. The apartment can also be separated into a 2 bedroom unit plus a self contained studio. Each room is like a private hotel room with bathroom, full length mirror and blow dryer.
Located on the second floor (European, third floor American) of a 17th-century Hôtel Particulier (townhouse), the spacious rooms wrap around a central courtyard affording windows on all sides of the apartment with views of three streets and the courtyard. The apartment was renovated within the last few years and no detail was spared. Upon entering the foyer, you may choose to turn left to enter the open living room/dining room/kitchen, positioned on two living levels, adorned by columns, an 18th century stone fireplace, tall windows and a state-of-the-art contemporary kitchen. Furnishings are antique and elegant, but inviting, friendly and comfortable.
The all encompassing and spacious central core of the apartment is where everyone will want to be -- equipped with a large flat-screen TV, DVD player, high-speed Internet with Wi-Fi, IPOD dock (that can also be connected to your computer), fireplace and open kitchen where a full buffet can be served from the long butcher-block island. It's a perfect venue for entertaining and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing in the City of Light.
At one end of the dining room which comfortably seats eight, an original painted portrait of the 'lady of the manor' by American artist in Paris Kathy Burke, hangs in honor of the owner with an amused eye on her happy guests. From the portrait, to the left down the stone-walled corridor, you will find a luxurious suite with twin beds which convert to one king-sized bed, a shower, toilet, deep open bathtub with hand-held shower, heated towel rack and vanity with sink. Its windows overlook the courtyard for full calm and privacy.
On the opposite corner of the living room, an original 17th-century door leads you to the suite whose hand-carved woodwork and curved wall was discovered during the complete renovation of the apartment. From the windows on both sides of the room, you have a perfect view of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and all down rue de l'Abbaye. Light pours in these windows onto the golden tones of the boudoir's decor of antique furnishings and Provençal fabrics. A contemporary shower with toilet and heated towel rack is adjacent and an additional antique sink/vanity accents the feminine room.
From the foyer, if you turn right from the main entrance, you find a laundry room with washer/dryer and further down the hall, the third bedroom suite. This part of the apartment can be an independent studio with an entrance direct to the main stairwell of the building. It has a full bathroom adjacent to it which is also accessible from the foyer with a shower, toilet, antique wash basin and large window overlooking the side street of rue de l'Echaudé. This is a perfect spot for a couple or kids who want their own TV and entertainment center and separate entrance. The Queen bed can be separated into 2 twins.
Le Château Saint-Germain affords an authentic spirit of the City of Paris and of this particular spot on the Left Bank, where history is oozing from its cobblestoned narrow ancient streets. You will revel in every minute of your stay in such a beautiful and elegant 'home-away-from home.'
The Area Around Saint-Germain-de-Prés
Saint-Germain-des-Prés is the city's most sought-after district by North American visitors. Centered around the church of the former Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, it is home to a number of famous cafés, such as Les Deux Magots, Brasserie Lipp and Café de Flore and was the center of the existentialist movement, associated with Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. From this part of the 6th arrondissement, most of Paris' most important sights are within walking distance.
Le Château Saint-Germain overlooks the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, which at one time was just beyond the outskirts of early medieval Paris, and was the burial place of Merovingian kings of Nutria. Rues de Buci and Seine, just steps away are two of the district's primary market and gathering places, with cafés, restaurants, shops and fresh food markets in abundance.
Designer shops are within steps of the apartment -- Louis Vuitton, Dior, Armani and Sonya Rykiel are at home here, to name just a few. Many of the city's finest art galleries line the nearby Left Bank streets. Just one block from the apartment is an olympic-size indoor public swimming pool (at 12, rue Lobineau) and you are just two blocks from the River Seine to easily cross to the Right Bank.
The district is every visitor's dream -- with everything you could ever need or desire within reach...the city of Paris and all its best entertainment at your doorstep.

About: I am a lover of all things French, especially Parisian. I was blessed with an eye and a love for all things beautiful. When I found this apartment I knew I had found my "Tara"
Why Paris Arrondissement 6:
I fell in love with the wonderful location of this apartment years before owning there. Apartments for sale are rare in this area so when one became available I had to see it. It had been stripped of all its charm by the previous owners and neglected but the bones were incredible... Huge windows on three sides..open airy feel..High ceilings.... spectacular view of Abbey. Location Location Location... Near les Deux Magots cafe, Lipp, Cafe Flore and the new Costes restaurant... Dior, Armani... and a cornucopia of small reasonable boutiques ea with their own unique style.. Paradise...
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
It is in the hippest area of Paris, with all the action of the rue de Buci around the corner but quiet since it is on a no traffic little well lit side street. An famous cafe on the corner.. the Chai l'Abbey... the perfect place for your breakfast or afternoon drink. The best wine store in Paris at your feet. A fabulous spa across the street...One of the more famous friperies (high end gently used clothing) at your door... where you can find that Hermes bag or amazing designer coat and be sooo French. You are near the Siene river, near the Pont Neuf, the Musee d'Orsey, the Louvre, The Rodin museum. The Bon Marche department store.... total luxury. A visit to their epicurean center a must. Many famous cafes that Hemingway frequented: Flore, Lipp and Les Deux Magot. Not far from Shakespeare and Co... English bookstore that still looks like it did just post war...Was modelled after Sylvia Beaches original store that Hemingway, Fitzgerald and James Joyce frequented in their Paris days... It is walking distance to most things of importance.. Notra Dame Cathedral... The list goes on and on.. an indoor public pool a block away... fresh fruit markets.. Two Metro stations St. Germain and Mabillion. You can get on at the St. Germain stop and go directly to Clignoncourt antique markets like Paul Bert.

Can he be kept? If not, how big of a deal is this? Would you franchise or extend for years? And, is Romo a no-brainer for a 4-5 year extension? That should get the ball rolling.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Stephen Curry came off a screen, dribbled behind his back and crossed over Matthew Dellavedova. He stepped back and swished a 3-pointer, then pounded his chest and pointed to the roof, seemingly controlling the sellout crowd of 19,596 on his fingertips.

Dirty Wow WowPosted by Danielle, July 1, 2008 1:31 pm No Comments Filed under: Kids' books.
A funny, little, heartwarming thing has been happening at the City of Books recently. Staffers have been inspired by the book, Dirty Wow Wow and Other Love Stories: A Tribute to the Threadbare Companions of Childhood, and sharing their stories of their own fuzzy, ratty, stuffed friends.
I give you Powell's employee Gigi, who shares her tale and starts the thread.
÷ ÷ ÷
I so wish I had thought up the concept of the book Dirty Wow Wow and Other Love Stories. The minute I opened it, I was writing my own additions to its pages in my head. I had lots of dirty wow wows when I was a kid. There was Backy Dacky, a blanket my grandmother made me, which started out bright pink and blue and was loved so hard it — he, he wasn't an it, he was a he — ended up faded to almost white, tattered and full of holes, with a blood stain from when I ran to him for safety after a bicycle incident. There was a Pooh Bear inexplicably made out of purple corduroy. And a handful of dolls, each named after my mom (we also had a couple kittens at the time that ended up named after my mom).
I think most of us — and if we could reach far enough into our pasts, we'd see that all of us — had dirty wow wows. That's why, when one of my fellow booksellers, Karen B., suggested gathering up our own tribute to Dirty Wow Wow, I ransacked the apartment and the storage unit looking for mine.
So, before you go off looking for yours, here is a fair smattering of childhood love from Powell's Books, starting with one I'd forgotten I had.
Carpet Girl
I was a creative child — and I'm here to say that creativity does not always an artist make. One example of this is Carpet Girl, a doll I made out of an old scrap of carpet. Though it took quite a bit of work to make her (cutting carpet isn't easy) and though I put my heart and soul into the project, a flat doll with a face drawn on the hard, scratchy underside of a carpet is not a comfy sleeping companion. Nevertheless, I worked on her with love and diligence — pasting on eyes when the crayon wasn't cutting it and furnishing her head with thick locks of my own hair (most of which slipped the bonds of its staples long ago).
Yeah, my mom wasn't too happy about the hair part.
—Gigi L.

Well said Gigi, well said. Stay tuned for more posts about Powell's staffer's "Dirty Wow Wows." And tell us about your own!

It had all the trappings of an epic House race in the making. A rematch between Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Democrat Jim Graves, who came oh-so-close to unseating the congresswoman in 2012.
As it turns out, neither will be running.
First, Bachmann announced her retirement Wednesday. Then, on Friday came word that Graves will indefinitely suspend his campaign -- a move that is not wholly surprising, considering how much more difficult his task became when Bachmann stepped aside.
"Basically, after all that's gone on, and with Michele Bachmann now stepping down, I've been talking to my friends and family and frankly, the feeling is, 'Mission Accomplished,'" Graves told MinnPost.com's Eric Black in an interview published Friday morning.
Bachmann defeated Graves by a little more than a point in 2012, despite a huge spending advantage and a district that is the most conservative in the state. Graves announced earlier this year that he was going to try again, a move that had Democrats licking their chops at the prospect of a pickup, especially considering all of Bachmann's mounting baggage.
But with Bachmann out of the picture, the race quickly looked very different. All of a sudden, a very winnable race looked like a steep uphill climb for Graves. Given the district's tilt (Mitt Romney won more than 56 percent of the vote there in 2012), the prospect of unseating a Republican without Bachmann's negatives looked awfully tough for Democrats.
In his interview with the Minnesota Post, Graves didn't say yes or no to the question of whether the long odds he stood to face in a Bachmann-less race contributed to his decision. But he acknowledged that national Democrats and donors would likely take less interest in the campaign.
"I was just the guy who was running against her," Graves said in the interview. "I'm humble enough to realize that."

It may seem that romance is the only necessary ingredient for a healthy marriage, but Mara Kofoed learned firsthand that it's not so simple.
A love connection is the foundation of a long-lasting union, but couples need more building blocks to succeed. Kofoed and her husband joined HuffPost Live's Nancy Redd for a conversation with Lori Gottlieb, author of "Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough," about learning that lesson the hard way.
"I got married the first time at age 25, and I thought it was all about love," Kofoed said. "I thought love -- just romantic kind of love and chemistry -- I thought that was the ultimate connection that could carry you through any problems and trials."
But she found herself divorced and looking for a new spouse in her early 30s, and by then she said she had "a very different view" about what she needed in her partner.
Her current husband, Danny Kofoed, said that when they were dating, they discussed the two or three most important, non-negotiable things they needed in the relationship. For him, it was all about keeping the marriage as great in times of unhappiness as it was in times of joy.
"I wanted to know I was going to be with somebody who knew how to handle the ups and downs, knew how to handle my ups and downs, and was going to have enough self-worth on her own that she would be able to support me and I her whenever we weren't at our best," he said.
Once they managed their expectations and communicated clearly, the relationship was fantastic -- so fantastic, in fact, that the couple teamed up to write A Blog About Love.
Watch the clip above to hear more about changing your relationship expectations (and check out the full segment here), then click the slideshow below see the lessons celebrities learned from their divorces.
In October 2011, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from her second husband Kris Humpheries, whom she was married to for just 72 days. In the August 2012 issue of InStyle UK, Kardashian talked about how she's changed since the split. "I've always been the type to fall in love fast and, with every boyfriend, I plan out my wedding in my head," she told the magazine. "It's taught me to take things slow . . . Anyone would want to move on and take the lesson learnt from it. I loved this person, it just wasn't the right situation for me. I try to hold my head up high and live my life."
In August 2010, Tiger Woods finalized his divorce from Elin Nordegren -- his wife of almost six years. The pair split in the wake of the golfer's very public cheating scandal. At a 2010 press conference just days after his divorce was finalized, Woods refuted the assumption that this had been a wasted year for him. "A lost year? I don't look at it like that," he said. "Every year you have to find the positives. Even though there are a lot of negatives, I think that's actually a good thing. I learned a lot about myself and how I could become a better person."
After eight years of marriage, "Tron: Legacy" actress Olivia Wilde filed for divorce from her husband Tao Ruspoli -- a filmmaker and Italian prince -- in March 2011. In an interview for the August 2011 issue of Marie Claire, the actress opened up about what she took away from the difficult experience. "I kept saying, 'I failed!'" she said. "Admitting that I'm not perfect was a wonderful thing that came out of this. There's this fear that everyone is going to be disappointed in you, but I'm human. I don't live up to any sort of ideal."
Jennifer Lopez split with husband Marc Anthony in July 2011 after seven years of marriage. Anthony filed for divorce from the former "American Idol" judge in April 2012. In the December 2011 issue of Glamour, Lopez shared what she took away from her third divorce. "I think I've finally learned the biggest lesson of all," she said in the interview. "You've got to love yourself first. You've got to be OK on your own before you can be OK with somebody else. You've got to value yourself and know that you're worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can't really have a healthy relationship."
Comedian Louis C.K. split with his wife -- painter Alix Bailey -- in 2008 after four years of marriage. In a July 2010 NPR interview, C.K. discussed the changes he went through and the lessons he learned post-split. "When I got divorced, I thought 'Well, there goes my act,'" he said. "I've been talking about being married for so long -- and I also thought being a dad was part of being married. And then I got divorced and everything changed, and I became a father in a whole new way and found a whole new set of difficulties."
Jennifer Aniston finalized her divorce from Brad Pitt in October 2005. In a 2005 interview with GQ magazine, Aniston said of her split: "I'm not defined by this relationship. I wasn't when I was in it, and I don't want to be in the aftermath of it. And that's really important to me. Let's let everybody move on and live their lives, and hopefully everybody will be really happy."
Reese Witherspoon filed for divorce from husband of seven years, Ryan Phillippe, in November 2006. In a January 2011 Glamour magazine interview, Witherspoon opened up about the importance of learning from her relationship mistakes. "I always say that it's very important not to blame one person," she said. "You have to own whatever part of it you're responsible for. It takes a lot of soul-searching. It's important to go through that, because hopefully you won't repeat yourself."

Sandoz - URGENT MEDICINE RECALL - SANDOZ CEFPODOXIME 40mg/5ml
URGENT MEDICINE RECALL: SANDOZ CEFPODOXIME 40mg/5ml Reg No A39/20.1.1/0397 (50ml and 100ml pack sizes)
Sandoz SA (Pty) Ltd in collaboration with the Medicines Control Council are initiating a Class 2, Type B recall on all batches of Sandoz Cefpodoxime 40mg /5ml (50ml and 100ml pack sizes).
Sandoz Cefpodoxime 40mg/5ml powder for oral suspension is an antibiotic used for short- term treatment of lower and upper respiratory tract infections in infants, children and adults.

Rated 4.3 out of 5�by 102 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by FantasticMom Overall happy Overall happy with the fit and looks of the compression tights, shorts and shirt we purchased. However, disappointed in the quality of the compression tights. My son wore a pair for 1 game, fell and immediately, they tore!! I expected the Nike quality would stand up better than that. February 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Extra4 Good item They are very comfortable and very stylish. I can match them with and pair of shorts, shirt and shoes I wear, to the gym or on the court. January 27, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Stowe Just what I was looking for I play ultimate and was looking for something to protect my knees when sliding and many compression items like this feature mesh which would rip. Found the inseam to be a little short but it's not that big if a problem just found it strange tht they don't feel the same as the shorter version. These were a little warmer than I expected as well. April 1, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by LA#21 Purcahse for my 14 son My son really feels comfortable in the product and feels that it helps with recovery time. November 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cafe7202 My son loves them Good fit and function. Uses them for basketball. Wash well too May 2, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by sportsshopper Good value for money I bought this for my son who is doing HS track. He loves the feel of these as they give extra support. The fabric is a bit light but that is what is required for the spring season. April 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Robby nice fit Good product they should be made in yellow,green and orange not so much the highlighted colours January 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jay1780 Perfect for training This product is good for training purposes and even when I play in a football game. October 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Tommie46 This product is of poor quality. I bought my son these for basketball and they did not make it through one practice. He fell on his knees on a hardwood court and got a hole in the tights. He did not slide across the floor but simply fell to his knees. I feel that this product should withstand activity such as this. I would not recommend purchase of this product at all. March 19, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Im4evergrateful Good product just a little over priced This was the first pair of compression I ever bought and they do make Walking/Running/Hiking/Jogging a lot more comfortable and enjoyable. I went from putting in 15 to 20 miles a week to 30 to 40 in less than a month. With that being said I have bought three other brands that was just as comfortable for about half the price. If someone thinks they have to have Nike, UA or another big name brand from a big chain sporting goods store then they are what they are looking for! And Dick's had better prices than the other sporting goods stores I looked at but I have found others at other chain stores ( not sporting good stores ) that work just as good if not better for half the price or less. So what it comes down to is what do you want to spend and do you HAVE to have a big name brand.?I love the product just think the price is a little on the high side but at the same time they are one of the better priced ones at Dick's and will do as promise by Nike February 11, 2014

Mystery of a Casino Boat Matches the Style of Its Owner
By KIRK JOHNSON
Published: December 23, 1996
For months, Michael Kornblum told curious residents and politicians that the pier his new company was busily renovating on the Sheepshead Bay waterfront in Brooklyn would be used for a dinner-and-dancing cruise boat that would bring some high-class entertainment to an area struggling to revive itself.
Then, like a magician pulling away the cape, the company suddenly announced that the cruises -- once on the high seas and out of New York State jurisdiction -- would, in fact, offer casino gambling, which in international waters is unregulated.
And that has put Mr. Kornblum in the middle of a squall.
A man who was until just a week ago an obscure, if not quite anonymous, New York real estate developer became, literally overnight, the local symbol, if not the lightning rod, for all the multilayered anxieties, antagonisms and ambitions connected with the multibillion-dollar casino industry, which has struggled to lose the taint of its long associations with organized crime.
''I am troubled by the way they conducted themselves,'' Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani said of Mr. Kornblum's company yesterday. ''They conducted themselves in a surreptitious manner.''
Mr. Giuliani said that while he had no evidence of any criminal activity or involvement, he would take the company to court today to stop the cruises until more could be learned about the company's principals and employees, and whether proper background checks had been made to protect the public.
In a very real way, the mystery of Bay Cruises has become its biggest problem.
Mr. Kornblum, a 45-year-old engineer who is the company chairman and chief executive, said in an interview yesterday that he welcomed a closer look at his start-up company and would cooperate fully with the Mayor in order to reassure customers. He has said repeatedly that he kept the real business of the company secret because he feared that the giant publicly traded companies in Atlantic City would use their clout and influence and armies of lawyers to stop the company before it got started -- not because there was anything to hide.
''I have no concern about any investigation whatsoever,'' he said. ''We will work with the Mayor and turn over the names of every partner and employee of Bay Cruises.''
One of the partners, Clive P. Tilley, the chairman, president and chief executive of Gold Star International, a Florida company that runs the casino on the Bay Cruises boat, also said he welcomed an investigation. Mr. Tilley said that all the casino supervisors on the Bay Cruises boat, called Liberty I, were longtime employees of his from Florida who had passed background checks for criminal records or connections to organized crime.
The dealers, Mr. Tilley said, are temporary workers hired under a subcontract from a Long Island company called Great Neck Games. They will work there until after the holidays, when the company plans to start interviewing, training and doing background checks for the casino workers it hopes to hire from the local area, he said.
Mr. Tilley conceded that his company had not conducted background checks on those interim workers, because they are not technically Gold Star employees. Officials at Great Neck Games could not be reached for comment.
Mr. Kornblum himself is also largely an unknown figure in New York City, even though he has lived all his life in the region and been active as a real estate developer since the mid 1970's. How he brought gambling to Brooklyn is a tale of chance personal introductions -- executives of Foxwoods casino in Ledyard, Conn., played a role in that -- and partly a story of personal misfortune in New York's deep recession of the late 1980's and early 1990's, when Mr. Kornblum defaulted on some of his New York buildings and began to look around for new ways to make a living.
His gambling interests have also not been without their troubles. One of the subsidiaries of Gold Star International, which Mr. Kornblum cofounded with Mr. Tilley and several other partners in 1992, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1994, owing about $2.5 million to creditors who had invested in a gambling cruise that ran in 1993 in Galveston, Texas. Mr. Kornblum said that bankruptcy case had been resolved and all of the claims settled.
Mr. Kornblum's style, however, has always been quiet, business associates say, as demonstrated by the kinds of buildings he specialized in in New York: Most have been obscure, existing second-tier commercial properties that Mr. Kornblum would buy and completely renovate from within. That means that for most New Yorkers, his work has been entirely invisible, though in some cases substantial, like the $60 million renovation project he did at 230 Broadway in the 1980's.
He also made it a practice, he said, never to do any deals that required special approvals or zoning changes. That would slow projects down, and he likes to operate, he said, on a 9-to-12-month time line. Avoiding confrontations and drawn out public processes means that he has made little news. His has never been the swaggering, abrasive style of say, a Donald Trump.

GALVIN-Robert William.
Robert W. Galvin, longtime chief executive officer of Motorola, passed away on October 11 in Chicago at age 89. The son of Paul Galvin, the founder of Motorola, Bob was born in 1922 in Marshfield, Wisconsin. He attended Evanston Township High School in Evanston, Illinois, where he excelled in academics, student government, the debating society, and sports. He joined Motorola full-time in 1944, earning his way up through various positions. He was CEO from 1959 to 1986 and chairman until 1990. During that time, the company grew from $290 million to $10.8 billion in annual sales. Under his leadership and through the principles that his father imbued in the company, Motorola became a world leader in communications technology. Most notably, it led the creation of the global cellular telephone industry, installing the first prototype cell phone demonstration system in Washington DC in 1971; unveiling the first portable cell phone prototype, the DynaTAC, in 1973; enabling the first commercial cell phone call, made on the DynaTAC by Ameritech, in 1983; and introducing MicroTAC, the first compact cell phone, in 1989. Throughout his career, Galvin made crucial investments in cellular and semiconductor R&D and advocated tirelessly for competitive telecom regulation and fair trade across the globe. He measured himself and his executive team by the company's treatment of its workforce, and he was proud that Motorola employees, who knew and referred to him simply as 'Bob', never felt the need to unionize in any of its global operations. Due largely to his commitment to continuous renewal and customer satisfaction, Motorola received the U.S. Commerce Department's Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award for Manufacturing in 1988. Galvin expanded Motorola's footprint into Europe, Southeast Asia, Israel, India, Japan, and Latin America, and made a major early push into China. He helped pioneer Technology Road-mapping and the Participative Management Program, founded Motorola University, and developed the Six Sigma Quality improvement system, which he disseminated across the globe. He was a trusted advisor to generations of US presidents and cabinet leaders, serving a term on the US Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and acting as lead business liaison in numerous US Trade Representative, State Department, and Defense and Intelligence delegations. He also chaired the Commission to Reorganize US National Laboratories (known as 'the Galvin Commission'), the Commission on the Future for the National Science Foundation, and Sematech, the government initiative to revitalize US semiconductor competitiveness. In retirement, he joined his sons in founding investment management firm Harrison Street Capital, established two non-profit think tanks -Perfect Power and the Galvin Transportation Initiative-and wrote several books, including The Genius of People: What the Scottish Enlightenment Taught Our Founding Fathers and The Idea of Ideas. Galvin was committed to the cause of education, notably through his support of the Illinois Institute of Technology. The recipient of several honorary doctoral degrees, he was elected to the American National Business Hall of Fame and awarded the National Medal of Technology, the Vannevar Bush Award, and the French Legion of Honor medal. He was a devoted husband of 67 years to Mary Barnes Galvin and an inspiring, loving father to his four children-Gail Galvin Ellis, Dawn Galvin Meiners, and Christopher and Michael Galvin. He is also survived by 13 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren (with 1 on the way), and 8 valued in-laws. Bob delighted in passing time with family and friends, singing on the player piano and debating policy, books and ideas. He loved playing tennis, snow skiing, waterskiing, windsurfing and sculling. He discovered his highest passions pursuing the principles of leadership, innovation, creativity, integrity, and dignity and respect for all. His was an inspiring, principled, loving and accomplished American life. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him well. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that gifts in memory of Bob be directed to the Robert W. Galvin Center for Electricity Innovation at Illinois Institute of Technology; send to Betsy Hughes at Illinois Institute of Technology, 10 W. 35th St., Ste. 1700, Chicago, IL 60616 (312-567-5045). A wake will be held at the Donnellan Family Funeral Home in Skokie, IL, on Oct. 17 from 4-8pm; a funeral mass and tribute will be held at Faith, Hope and Charity Church in Winnetka, IL, on Oct. 18 at 5pm, followed by a reception at the Indiana Hill Club at 6:15pm. For information, call 847-675-1990.-

1848 CAL. Quarter Eagle, AU551848 $2 1/2 CAL. AU55 PCGS. CAC. Gold was discovered in California in early 1848, and near the end of the year, the first shipment of the newly mined metal arrived at the Philadelphia Mint, where it was coined into quarter eagles, each marked with the distinctive CAL. counterstamp. Mint records state that 1,389 of those specially marked quarter eagles were struck. Many numismatists consider these 1848 CAL. quarter eagles to be the first U.S. commemorative coins, predating the 1892 Columbian issues by 44 years.
The First U.S. Commemorative Coin
The First U.S. Commemorative Coin
The 1848 CAL. quarter eagle ranks 37th in the third edition of 100 Greatest U.S. Coins, by Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth. They write:
Because the 1848 CAL. quarter eagle was a direct result of the California Gold Rush, it is a highly coveted issue. Not only does the coin have a direct link to American history, but also it is one of the rarest regular-issue Liberty Head quarter eagles.
It is often stated that the CAL. counterstamp was punched into the coins while they were still in the press, preventing any flattening on the opposite side of the coin. Minute doubling of the date and lower stars on this piece suggests an alternative. It seems more likely that all 1,389 coins were struck, then they were carefully placed in an obverse die resting on a work bench, where they received the countermark, one coin at a time.
Over the decades since the 1848 CAL. quarter eagles were minted, some individuals have attempted to make counterfeits by punching those letters in regular issue 1848 quarter eagles. Fortunately, nobody has been successful in duplicating the original coins.
This Choice AU example, while showing a few faint hairlines and other light scratches, presents nearly full luster with violet toning in the fields. Hints of mirrored surface remains visible in the protected areas. A splendid example of a coveted issue, this 1848 CAL. quarter eagle offers rarity, quality, and historical importance. Population: 6 in 55, 28 finer (9/11).

Don't let a slimy soap dish ruin the experience of a superior bar. Opt instead for this dignified design, crafted by New York's Niagara China Company, whose durable ceramics date back to the turn of the 20th century. Made of creamy white porcelain, each dish has a sturdy motto or enduring symbol stamped on its base.
The soap dish is cool in a retro kind of way. I did not even realized I needed a soap dish until I started using this. It is not too flashy but it says that I care about the little things in life.
I don't have use for a soap dish. I will probably use it to hold screws or something, but this isn't something I enjoy.
I like it, it is something I could see myself maybe purchasing for myself or as a gift. Has a cool design, I received the one with boxing gloves on it. Actually, makes a nice little change tray.
A perfect compliment to my counter self. A safe spot for rings and such instead of soap. Well made and subtle design.
Don't really use bar soap but really like the size and quality
I put my watch and jewelry in it on my bathroom counter mine came with a picture of boxing gloves on it supper cool
I don't know who uses a bar of soap these days, but it does a darn skippy good job of holding my razor blade in it. Looks cool and has a bit of a nautical nonsense feel to it.
I however have the version with boxing gloves, hopefully it doesn't knock me up.
I don't want to influence anyone in to buying or not buying this product, I just had no use for it. I use liquid soap which I think most people do, so a soap dish is just a piece of clutter I don't need.
Great Dish, for those who don't traditionally use bar soap this dish will hold a razor. This is great because I do not like the trays the razors come with and I do not like leaving my razor on the counter.
This was an awesome idea and product. Need to send one to my son.
Cool if you use bar soap in the bathroom. I don't so it is a cool little candy dish on my desk.
