"Review on the pyramind hotel"
My stay was great,no complaints,clean,nice staff, easy check-in&out overall a good stay.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Nice, Servicable Hotel"
Have stayed there twice and am completely satisfied. Desk staff friendly and helpful, rooms clean if not fancy, convenient location set back far enough from 75 not to have highway noise. Breakfast was fine -- toaster and microwave for bagels and oatmeal, that sort of thing. It's not a fancy hotel, but that's not what I wanted or needed.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Wouldn't recommend"
This hotel is overpriced for what service you receive. If the hotel was $50 it would be a reasonable deal, but for 80+ dollars per night it is not worth it at all. Many other options nearby that are a much better option. This hotel is outdated. Beds were very hard and pillows have been around since the eighties.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Super-friendly staff"
I was very happy with out stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was very nice and clean and comfortable. The location was great for our race the next day.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Simple and Clean"
Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable room at a great price.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Just what we needed"
We had a great stay. Over all we got very good value for money and would go back again. We had three of us in the room. Two in the beds provided and one on a roll away bed. The room is too small but we made do. Otherwise it was clean tidy, friendly and we would go back. If you go try and work out why it is called the Pyramid Hotel.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

We are very comfortable with this hotel front desk is helpful and friendlyחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Relaxing visit in older hotel"
The staff (Andrew) was very kind when we came into town early for our visit and helped us get checked in early which I though was above and beyond! This hotel does not have an elevator to the second floor but he was very accomodating by asking if we needed help up the stairs to our room or with anything else local. The room was comfortable and clean […] and the hotel overall was up-to-date with clean carpet and paint. We were pleasantly surprised at the hotel condition for being an older building. All-in-all we enjoyed our visit and will visit again! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia
תגובה מאת Pyramids Hotel Dear Ms. Fraser, thank you for taking the time to complete a hotel survey. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciate your kind remarks about Andrew. In the meantime, we look forward to welcoming you to The Pyramids on your next visit ti Allen.
No elevator to 2nd floor though the desk staff did agree to carry my bag up the stairs when I asked. And breakfast served nothing hot--just cereals and breakfast rolls. Pool was big but totally covered which was not what we wanted.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
you need to let it be known in your description of the hotel that there is no elevator! For the price, the breakfast was a disappointment.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

Everything was cut and dry. Nice place HUGE rooms but just a room nothing too over the top. The front desk was extremely friendly and helpful, close to shopping destinations. So just good!חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
Hotel room was clean and staff was helpful. Breakfast was included but not worth it. Ended up purchasing breakfast some where else. Was there for sports events and the food choices were very limited. There was only cereals, apples, juice, coffee and variety of breads to toast in one toaster. No warm items like eggs, bacon, sasuage. If they are volunteering […] to host sport teams, they should re-consider the breakfast choices. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"Got everything you need"
Has everything you need. Plenty of hot water, friendly staff, clean, no scramble eggs and bacon, but breakfast was good non the less. Had oatmeal, cereal and cappuccino... Can't complain.

Allen is a clean, nice city. Plenty of retail, restaurants.חוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
It was noisy. It was like there was no insulation in ANY wall. You could hear everything in the hallway, the next rooms and outside. I chose this hotel because it was close to the people I was in town visiting. Worst continental breakfast I've ever had. The indoor pool looked nice, but we didn't get an opportunity to use it.

The hotel is clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. The staff was very unobtrusive and helpful. Located near lots of restaurants and shopping. Easy to get on and off the freeway. The hot tub is hot and the pool is well-heated (and indoor!). The breakfast is pretty sparse, but McDs is across the street if you need it! Would stay there again.חוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Stayed two nights very comfortably"
Stayed here two nights. The hotel was clean, well-kept. Everything worked in the room. Temperature of the room was easy to control. Bed super comfortable. Breakfast was adequate. But they advertised it as a "continental breakfast" not a a hot breakfast, so it was what we expected. When we visit the grandkids again in Plano, we will stay here. (Only […] surprise was that the hotel is a two-story but lacks an elevator. This was not a problem for us, but it could be for other travelers.) קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

"Pyramid Hotel, close enough to Dallas for me!!!"
We stayed here on a family trip, we were going to Grapevine, TX and didn't really want to go all the way to Dallas, so we thought this was a good spot to stay. We forgot our bathing suits so we went to the outlet mall just a few miles up the road, and found everything we need.

Went to visit my son in Texas without reservations, oopsies. Was told at local Hilton that all hotels in area were booked due to a sports function. Jumped on Expedia, it found of 4 nights at this gem of a hotel. Outstanding staff, room was impeccable. Located just off a main highway for easy access, but far enough away there was no noise from it. Overall […] turned a visit to my son for his birthday, into a great vacation.

"Would Not Stay Here Again"
We stayed at this hotel in May---hot, hot, in Texas. The air conditioning in our room was not working properly. It was cooler outside than in our room. We were told there was nothing the hotel could do--no other rooms and to turn out the lights in our room. Only after threatening to check out early did they move us to another room, but some other unsuspecting […] person got the suana room. Also a sentimental toy of my daughters was left in the bed during the room transfer. When we realized we were missing the item(only a few hours after moving rooms)...neither housekeeping nor the front desk could find it. We even asked the people in our old room if they had found it. Magically the next day it showed up. I would not reccommend this hotel. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com
"A mediocore choice in Allen"
Hotel meets your basic needs, including a basic complimentary breakfast, and complimentary I-Net. Location is convenient (just off of I-75 and close to Allen Dr.), with quiet surroundings and ample parking. Staff are friendly, however I checked out late (around 2pm) and despite letting front desk know, they insisted that I pay 1/2 day rental since maximum […] they could give me was 1pm...which I thought was a bit too much...hotel needs some upgrading and a facelift, including decor inside the rooms, bathroom, bed, etc....for the money that you are going to pay I suggest you book with Holiday Inn (in Allen) or Hampton Inn (off I-75 and Stacey Road in Allen, adjacent to the outlet mall) or Courtyard by Marriot (near Outlet mall in allen) which are better properties. קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתיות של אורחי Expedia

Our room heater did not work and the sink was very slow to drain. They came and looked at it and said maintenance would repair in the morning after we left. The manager was made aware of the problem and offered appologies. Things break and most likely no one reported the sink before. There is no elevator for the 2nd floor and the only stairs are at […] the ends which did not bother me, but someone with a lot of luggage or older person could be inconvenienced. I left a ring in the room and they sent it to me via UPS next day. Honest employees! קראו עודחוות דעת אמיתית של אורח Hotels.com

Beautiful vintage ring -
Travlee, Youngsville, LA - 12/13/2013
After looking at this ring for 6 months I finally broke down and bought it and I am so glad I did. The ring is absolutely beautiful with a vintage look that I just love!! People ask me quite often about the ring, some even assume it is an heirloom. If you like vintage look jewelry, this is a great piece.
Beautiful -
Sieglinde, Mülhausen, Germany - 10/18/2013
The ring is even more beautiful than in the picture! I love it very much 3 The shipping was very fast too, I was really surprised when the items I ordered came within three days to Germany!
Beautiful -
Tina, Jackson, tn - 06/01/2013
LOVE this ring. It's very beautiful and have had lots of compliments on it. I got it for my right hand. I had ordered a size 7 and reordered a size 6. the band isn't a tight band so the size runs true to size. Just love it!!!!!!!!
Intricate Details -
JustForHer, Indianapolis, IN - 02/08/2013
Ordered as a Valentine's Day gift, she decided to wear it on her right hand and absolutely loves it, have suggested the site to friends. Rhodium finish gives it an extra something special, you will not be disappointed, if you're on the fence about buying this, BUY IT! One Suggestion: Go get sized at a local jeweler first, then log on here and save thousands!!
Stunning Ring! -
lmrozela, West Hartford, CT - 11/27/2012
I purchased this ring in a size 9 for a bigger finger. Totally fell in love with the vintage style of it. Love it so much, I ordered another in size 7 for my regular ring finger. The details in the band of the ring are exquisite all the way down the sides and shine like crazy. I got several compliments on it when I wore it out. I'm looking forward to receiving the 7 so I can wear it as an heirloom-type piece. Should anyone ask, I'll tell them straight: it's at Eve's Addiction. (lol)
Very pretty, but SHINY -
KevK, California - 11/08/2012
Ok, sorry if this is a duplicate review... Bought this as a temp engagement ring for my fiancee. She has very small hands and it's not overpowering, but is still obvious and very, very beautiful and distinctive. However, the sizing seems larger than anticipated and THIS RING IS SHINY, SHINY, SHINY. The silver is really light, almost white colored. Overall, though, it's a really great piece of jewelery and we're really happy with it.
Very pretty, but SHINY -
kevk, California - 11/08/2012
Bought this as a temp engagement ring for my girlfriend. Overall, very pleased with the style and quality, however, there are two things I've noticed. One, the size seems a little larger than anticipated. Two, THIS RING IS SHINY, SHINY, SHINY

Buddysgirl, Kathleen, GA - 11/03/2012
I loved this ring when I saw it on line. It was exactly what I wanted in a real ring that I couldn't afford. When I received it, it was 10x more beautiful than the pictures! It just sparkles and looks very believable.

ReneeB, Canton, OH - 08/07/2012
This ring is absolutely stunning! People really think it is real. When it starts to dull off I clean it with silver jewelry cleaner that I buy from Wal-mart! Awesome!!

Rose, Nashville, TN - 04/06/2012
This is the prettiest ring I've ever seen. I get more compliments on it than I can believe. I absolutely love it.
Katrina, Conroe, TX - 02/15/2012
OH MY GOD..... It is so beautiful!!!! I got it the same size as my wedding ring and it fits perfect. I read some of the other posts that said the bigger diamond was not as sparkly as they wanted but mine is gorgeous... the way the light reflects off of it....it just shimmers!! I love the vintage look it has and the detail is amazing. It looks like I paid a couple of grand for it!!! Ordered mine on Friday night and received it on Weds afternoon.. My second ring from Eve's .... Will be ordering more!!!
Beautiful but sizing seems large -
Melissa, Canada - 02/14/2012
Just got this ring a few days ago. It's absolutely beautiful and I love it but it seems to run big, unless they sent me the wrong size. I used the size guide from Eve's Addiction to determine my size but the ring they sent me seems to be a full size bigger, so maybe this product just runs big. Personally, I'd go with a smaller size if you are unsure! I'd send it back but it's so expensive to send it back with tracking from Canada so I'm going to try and get a ring guard. This problem aside, the ring is just beautiful, the style is amazing and it's a great ring!
jj, Schenectady, NY - 02/07/2012
I love this ring!! It looks great on my hand. Just what I wanted. Great delivery time too

maddies_mom, colorado springs, co - 10/13/2011
I have had my ring for about two weeks now and still can't stop looking at it! It's really beautiful. I have been looking for a ring like this for several years and although it took alot of time to find it, it was worth the wait!
Breathtaking! -
barefootmama27, Utah - 09/11/2011
I think it shines plenty! I LOVE this ring! I's better than pictured! So MUCH fine detail, nothing is "out of place" or "off" like most knock offs. It's designed well to let light into the back of the ring to help create sparkle and depth! I've always wanted a ring like the one my Grandpa gave my Grandma, and this is as close as I ever need to get!
Really Pretty -
sanders42087, Ironton, OH - 07/27/2011
I absolutely love this ring. The only thing I dislike about ordering off of the internet is that things never seem to shine as much in person. But it is a beautiful ring, I've gotten several compliments about it and I love the vintage style!

Beautiful! -
stephiebear, Hollidaysburg,PA - 03/09/2011
This ring is as pretty as the picture, so many details - some I wasn`t even aware that were going to be there! I love the Deco/Antique style rings, this would`ve had a 10 star rating if it had a little of the 'tarnish' look in the grooves. If it`s tempting to anyone, they can`t go wrong to buy it!
Beautiful -
Daine, Utan - 12/26/2010
I've had my ring for 2 weeks and have many comments. It reminds me of my grandmothers wedding ring. The stone is beutiful. Unbelievable for the price.
Gorgeous! -
IssaR, Colorado - 12/21/2010
Beautiful! I'm so happy with this ring, and have gotten a lot of compliments on it.

Michele, Boston, MA - 08/13/2009
I just received my order yesterday and was stunned at how gorgeous it is! Not only is the silver work exquisite but the center CZ is cut beautifully giving the stone the fire of a diamond. Gorgeous, love it!

Les Nomades
Online Reservations
While Les Nomades is one of the more expensive restaurants in the greater Chicago area, it is also a significantly better value than most of the other high-end places in town. As such, it has always been one of my favorites. The wine list is both extensive and overwhelming, with a huge range in price. Even though we went with one of the least expensive bottles on the menu, it was still one of the best wines I have ever tasted, indicating that they are choosing what makes it onto their list with the same care with which they compose their dishes. It's well worth "twisting the chef's arm" to get the chocolate souffle.
Foodies chasing the new new thing will not be impressed, but lovers of elegantly delicious food will be. The service was as good as we've ever had anywhere, and the entire experience was delightful.
Truly excellent food and ambience. Fantastic wine list and the best Calvados we have tasted outside of France. For visiting Europeans though, the American expectation for speedy service may detract from the experience slightly. For us taking three to four hours over a meal to savour every part of the food, wine and each other's conversation is part of the experience and the norm. If this also you preference, our advice is to reassure the staff when placing your order that you prefer a slower pace of service then you can relax and fully enjoy the wonderful eating experience this restaurant has to offer.
So nice to still fine a restaurant that you can go for a very special celebration dinner & dress for the occasion & some next to you isn't wearing a tshirt! The food was fantastic, very generous portions! The service was friendly & timely. It's a splurge dinner but worth it, can't wait to go back!
The air conditioning was turned down a bit to cold.
My husband ranked this as a top 10 lifetime meal with everything spot on and the duck the best he ever had. I was a bit disappointed with the foie gras as the fig sauce was a bit too sweet, lots disappointed in the striped bass while perfectly prepared was very bland. The accompanying vegetables and sauce were better than the fish but couldn't overcome the tastelessness. The wine and dessert, however, were perfect. We will go back and try other menu items. The service is fantastic!!
My husband & I had an amazing dinner. I ordered the lobster & shrimp salad & duck. Don't forget to order a soufflé it's delicious.
The restaurant was wonderful. The food was excellent with many choices and the service was impeccable. As we are older it was especially nice that a dress code was in effect and added to the overall feeling that this was a special night out.
We have dined at Les Nomades several times before. It's always a delight to dine here. The wine list is superb and we generally will peruse the wine list on line and select several possibilities. Of course, the current menu follows and if a marriage between wine and food clicks, here we come! The two gentleman who had attended to our table were Matt and Don, and the Sommelier was Miranda. All are very astute and extremely well versed in both wine and food. We enjoyed a Latour 2001 which was drinking lovely and it had worked well with our food selections. Fish course was altered by Chef to accommodate the richness of the Paulliac. In general, kudos to the staff for a lovely evening of dining. Oh, lest we not forget the 1908 Madeira....WOW!
We had an exquisite dining experience-- perfectly prepared French food, nicely presented. Waiters gave exactly the right amount of attention. The restaurant was quiet, carefully and tastefully decorated, including loads of fresh flowers. Overall one of nicest dining experiences ever.
We live in the SF Bay area and this was the 4th visit to this restaurant when in Chicago on business. Wonderful cuisine, attentive waitstaff (but not stuffy). Just all in all a terrific place.
Once again, I chose Les Nomades for an evening with old friends. As always, we were greeted as friends. The burgundies from the wine cellar were incredible and made the food all the more memorable. The secret of Les Nomades is the team, from Chef Roland to the wait staff, they find great pleasure in sharing the delights of the restaurant with the guests. One can find many world-class restaurants in Chicago, but few provide one with the opportunity to make lasting memories with friends and family.
Was in Chicago for a professional meeting, and needed a "special occasion" venue to celebrate some career successes. Could not have made a better choice. Once you decide to ignore the cost, this is one of the most delightful and attentive venues I have visited in years. Every dish, from the oyster amuse to the superbly presented desserts, was exquisite. Wine list is outstanding. Servers were efficient and unobtrusive. The house is lovely. As close to a perfect evening as it gets.
We visited this restaurant during a weekend trip to Chicago. The food selection was outstanding. Being used to NY restaurants, I was a little intimidated by the quiet request on the menu. We had a good meal but felt that the restaurant's vibe was a little stuffy and uncomfortable.
I thought it was great i look forward to going there again. Quiet, great food and great people.
I was in Chicago for a quick business trip and Les Nomades happened to be nearby. I went in on a whim without realizing they had a Jacket policy. The hostess was extremely accomodating and found me a comfortable jacket. The setting is comfortable and classy. The service was attentive without being overbearing. I am from Southern California and the best way to describe Les Nomades would be a hybrid of Addison in San Diego and The Ivy in LA. I had a tough time deciding what to order as everything looked so good. So I left it to the hands of the chef and the sommelier. They did an amazing job of cooking up unique dishes. The presentation is impressive as well. This place is in a league of its own.
Come hungry as you will enjoy the multi course meal and have room for the great suffla at the end.
My wife and I have enjoyed Les Nomades over the years and this visit was, again, an exceptional one. The staff was attentive without being obtrusive. We were seated at the scheduled time. The food and wine was excellent. The evening was one we have described to friends. We look forward to returning.
Everything was good from A-Z. Excellent ribeye, accommodating to its customers, and superb hazelnut soufflee. Will return!
We went there for our 15th Anniversary and could not be happier. Food was great, service was better and the wine list was outstanding, with all ranges of wine. Quiet enough to talk and hear each other, but a nice background conversation to not feel too awkward. Outstanding dinner and we will return.
This is a townhouse restaurant with all the lost elements of classic dining still in place. Most of all, the cuisine is top notch, but I must mention the elegant surroundings and the attentive welcoming service. It's also nice that there is not only a dress code, but it is actually enforced; you can count on not seeing baseball caps worn backward at the adjacent table. Finally, while hardly cheap, the prices are fair, and in my experience even a tad lower than where most big-city destination restaurants place themselves.
It was my wife's birthday. Nomades made it memorable.
Dining at Les Nomades was a delightful experience. The food was delicious. The service was impeccable.
This resaturant was great to celebrate our 15th Wedding Anniversary in chicago! Espectacular food and service, definitely made it very special!
Les Nomades was one of the best meals of my life. Has the feeling of a 1930's 5 star restaurant, fit for celebrities and high society. Attentive and knowledgeable staff who treat you like kings and queens. Champagne is given to you as you sit and each and every course was more to die for than the previous. Deserts were amazing and staff had great suggestions down to the port made from Amarone grapes. Would go back for any special occasion
An excellent experience in every way. A traditional dining experience. Thanks for no 'little plates.'
The food was exquisite! Every course was full of flavor, presented beautifully and the right portion size. I will definitely go back. What a nice treat! Pricey but well worth it.
Overall great dining experience. Perfect from beginning to end. The food was wonderful, nice wine list, pacing very nice, excellent service, and a quiet, romantic atmosphere. It was our third time to visit this restaurant and we certainly will return.
WOW!!!! Wonderful evening with great food, service and ambiance 5 course menu was amazing. Special snow crab salad fantastic Sweetbreads with roasted partridge was a good choice and Thank you Chicago for allowing foie gras back on the menu! This is a definite special occasion place and service is impeccable. We had known about this restaurant for years and finally went....we should have gone sooner!!
From start to finish...fantastic service, delectable food and a great overall experience
an exquisite dining experience from start to finish -- thank you for making our 35th wedding anniversary a memorable night
Les Nomades is a Chicago treasure whose excellence remains modern without attempts at trendiness. It is the perfect choice for excellent food and service in a complementary environment. The no charge corkage policy on Thursdays simplifies the choice of dates if you have a very special bottle.
LesNomades is consistently the best French restaurant in Chicago. There aren't enough superlatives to describe the fine dining experience at LesNomades.
The food was good to look at, presented elegantly, and tasted wonderful. Wine selection outstanding for my tastes: from Moscato d'Asti to the great Burgundies, and a 2005 Beerenauslese at a remarkable price. Service is attentive, never intrusive. Lively customers--a younger crowd than in the past--but quiet. Both dining rooms were full when we were there, but there was no noticeable noise. Do not be daunted by the fixed price. You can order whatever you want and the bill will be appropriate. You can test this by ordering, say, a salad and three desserts for your meal.
It is not one of the modern places, but very classy, somewhat old-fashioned, with amazing service and outstanding food. Every dish was a true culinary art creation. Pre-fix menu with many great choices. I had duck that I think was amazing. Passion fruit soufflé was outstanding, but I felt so full and could not finish that, unfortunately for me. Really great place for a special occasion.
One of the best meals ever. Beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Expensive, but worth it for a special evening.
We were coming from California and I wanted a quiet, gracious restaurant that was upscale and presented delicious food. I got it!
Wonderful dining experience. Service was attentive. Food was traditional French and imaginative. Wine menu was expansive. We were seated on the 2nd floor--intimate and quiet. Exactly what we were looking for. No criticisms. Perfect for special occasions. Appetizers of escargot, pate maison, and foie gras were excellent. Duo of veal lamb chop was tasty, as were the braised short ribs. Gran Marnier classic soufflé was an elegant finish. While the wine menu offered some very expensive selections, many moderately priced wines were available. Large selection of Meursaults available, white and red.
An excellent French restaurant with impeccable service and outstanding food.
Food was excellent as always Wine list a treasure, especially for Burgundy Always order the souffle
From the moment we pulled up to the restaurant, we were wowed. Unbelievably quaint location tucked in the middle of the hustle and bustle. We stepped inside and it was warm and inviting and the service was over the top accommodating. Food was amazing- best foie I've ever had. Best short rib I've ever tasted. Warm pastries cooked to perfection. It's pricey but well worth the overall experience. Highly recommend.
We went there for our 5th anniversary. We were over a half hour late due to weather & traffic. I called and they still held our reservation and seated us immediately. The food and service were excellent. It made the evening a total success. Thanks Les Nomades.
The food matches the elegant surroundings. Somehow Les Nomades manages to offer the complete dining experience---beautiful space, wonderfully creative food, seamless and unobtrusive service. Particularly refreshing is the lack of boisterous noise drowning out conversation, a feature so common in restaurants currently. It is truly our favorite place in the city!
I own many restaurants and I would love to have this one in my portfolio!!!
This expensive spot delivers big time on its promise of the best French cuisine in the city. Four of us had 4 different 4 course dinners with minimal overlap and everything rated exceptional. Starting with a champagne opener to a finish of lemon soufflé and house bon mots the experience was outstanding. The wine list is filled with great French selections but with prices to match. Don't expect to find much for under $200 but if you want to experience some hard to find exceptional wines they are on the list here.
Old style in the best sense - elegant, romantic, unobtrusive but attentive service, extraordinary delicious and deceptively simple cuisine.
This is a truly fabulous restaurant. Whether it'd for a quiet dinner or a celebration with family and friends there is nothing better.
Les Nomades is a very civilized and high quality restaurant with a warm atmosphere and setting. Delilghtful with outstanding service and food.
Our fourth visit over 2 1/2 years and again loved every second of our evening. The food, service and atmosphere are perfect compliments to each other. It is expensive but well worth it. Old world elegance abounds at this classic Chicago establishment. A classic that should not be missed.
This past Saturday's dining experience solidified our belief that this is one of the top places for an elegant and flawlessly executed dining experience. The service is absolutely wonderful and far from stuffy...they are professional and very engaging in conversation. Food wise, the venison was fantastically prepared, as was the duck consommé and the arctic char. My other half raved about the roasted duck breast which we have had before and it is consistently wonderful. The atmosphere is really warm, rustic and elegant with the fireplace on the second floor. The proprietor, Mary Beth Liccioni is very welcoming and she should be commended for all her efforts. This place is a true gem and should be on everyone's list of restaurants to visit!

Over the last few days, I've received tweets about two different food issues facing the government, and that's not counting the many, many communications about the size of sodas. People are concerned with how hens are being raised, e.g. size of cages. Also about ingredients in fast food pizza.
A friend raises chickens as pets and seeing them happily running around her backyard and roosting in their new coop, I understand the data about the intelligence of chickens. Having spent time in Italy where the chickens are free range and eat a lot differently than they do in this country and seeing the results in beautifully colored and flavored egg yolks, the information computes.
As a mother whose children wanted fast food pizzas, I was wary of the cost, but never the ingredients. I am glad that I re-instituted my grandmother's Friday night pizza, and for the fun we had rolling them out no matter how long it took to clean up all that messy flour.
Most cooks assume that if they cook something at home, they are in control of what their family is eating. And for the most part that is true. In some instances not so true. For that reason, I'm glad that so many are paying attention to the sources and additives in their food. I read all the info and try to incorporate it into my life. In many cases, I will stop buying an offending item. Or, in more cases, will start buying something that is delicious and healthy. Good eats for my loved ones.
Thanks to all those who care enough to alert us all to the condition of our food
It's much too hot to cook in most of the country tonight, but I offer a non cook sauce to slather onto storebought pizza shells. Just a few minutes on the grill, then slather! Or thin it out with olive oi and lemon juice and toss it with cold ingredient and greens for a no-cool salad.
6 servings
1 cup loosely packed basil leave
8-ounce tub of whipped cream cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Salt, pepper, to taste

Spiced Lentil Cakes in a gravy
I am a lot like Big Sis S(BSS) or is it the other way round ? Whatever it is we both try to avoid things that are hard. Force us in a difficult situation and we will be fine coping with it and coming out stronger but given a choice we will try to avoid the difficult route.
Take BSS. She started Piano lessons some time last year. She loved it, practiced with diligence, sailed through her lessons as if she was a musical genius and played at the drop of a hat. Things started changing couple of weeks back. She started giving excuses around practice time, musical enthusiasm hit all time low and a marked drop in excitement on lesson days was noticed. A talk with her Piano teacher revealed what I already knew. Lessons had gotten harder and as Little Miss BSS was not able to sail through them as easily as on a cloud, she was no longer as enthusiastic about them.
We had a little talk, that kind of thing comes easy to me, I love it when I am at the giving end of such talks. Things seems to be better now, it is not that hard to motivate a 6 year old after all.
Take Me next. Dhokar Dalna, the master piece of Bengali Cuisine has eluded me all these years. I love Dhokar Dalna, to eat that is, to cook, I always dismissed it as "too difficult". Ok, I think I did it just once but that just reinforced my belief that it took too much time and oil to be deemed worth repeatable in my kitchen. However BSS's example triggered me. If that little girl could go back and do her "Lets Rock" or whatever sheet music several times over, I could at least try Dhokar Dalna once more.
So I made it today, I wouldn't say total success, there are these small nuances that need to be taken care of next time. I am yet to get the right texture for the lentil paste to make the cakes and some of my dhokas or lentil cakes were cracking which shouldn't happen. But I think I did conquer my fear. After all my three decades and more of existence has taught me that "Done is better than perfect"(quoted from Scott Allen), at least some times.
Dhokar Dalna, is one of the pillars of Niramish(Vegetarian) Bengali Cuisine, just like Shukto. The lightly spiced lentil cakes or dhoka are fried and then simmered in a gravy made with tomatoes and ginger, spiced with cumin and coriander. This dish traditionally is a purely satvik dish, sans any onion or garlic like most Bengali Niramish(vegetarian) dishes. Bengali widows were not allowed to eat onion or garlic and the Bengali vegetarian cuisine is mostly their contribution, that explains why it is satvik.
The dhokas are such a delight and the gravy is so fragrant that you wouldn't even miss onion or garlic in here. Enjoyed best with plain white rice, the dhoka sure brings joy, though it actually means "to cheat".

Well this is the time a year for a lot of big time movies.
To be released by the studios these are movies that a lot of the -- hopeful get them lots of awards come Oscar time Golden -- time.
The -- -- a look back at the year 2012.
And look at some of the worst rated movies is for movies that probably at one point or another folks at very high hopes for but it didn't quite work out that way.
That actually is editor in chief of rotten tomatoes dot com which is a great website you can find him on Twitter at that actually our act and -- -- -- And rotten tomatoes is that rotten tomatoes on Twitter courtesy -- -- thanks very much for being here.
-- thanks for having me so these are the three sort of -- worst of the -- right.
Yes well although you know we've got a new one that we should probably add to that list this week but -- Yeah some of the worst movies this week probably the first -- would be a thousand words.
Eddie Murphy movie.
And that wasn't actually even supposed to get released to the only reason that got taken off the shelf.
And putting theaters is because Eddie Murphy was set to host the Academy Awards earlier this here.
Then Brett Ratner I got kicked out of producing awards show it's already Murphy laughed.
But that film distributor was still kind of left with this terrible movie that never should have got released.
And it got to 0% on our -- no critics liked it at all.
So this -- -- for folks who aren't familiar with rotten tomatoes is is sort of what you do -- you aggregate all of the different reviews in major newspapers and publications around.
The country.
And let.
People know what that professional critics are saying about them.
Yes we run a percentage.
That we call the tomato meter.
That really measures positive reviews for a movie.
I'd simply percentage of good reactions.
From professional critics like you said -- not really around the world actually.
And at 60% -- about we caught fresh below sixty we caught rotten.
And unity ticket much lower than zero and a percentage.
We'll also getting zero is a movie called the last ounce of courage.
I don't even know that I heard of -- yeah.
Well that movie got a big release in the midwest but hadn't really gotten -- out on the -- it's actually -- -- DD this week.
This week I stars Marshall -- who some people might remember is the guy.
Who has the showdown at the and -- -- -- movie roadhouse with Patrick -- he's the guy who get -- who missed the last final fight scene with Patrick Swayze.
Add it -- it's a story about a guy who is.
Raging against.
Idea that a government aid it's you know it's a crazy story couldn't really good -- -- know what I don't like -- -- -- it.
I think that they advertise on Fox News Channel.
Hoping to -- to get some publicity for the movie anyway hearts and I also got 0% and -- coming in with only 4%.
Is the apparition.
Another movie I never heard.
Yeah that's it's schlock horror -- that open up earlier this year you know a lot of the critics don't like.
Slasher movies this one was a particularly good -- sometimes.
You know movie on our tomato meter that's a scary movies or horror movie a slasher film might get something like 4050%.
And actually that's a pretty good score because most the critics don't like that type of film but this one only got 5% very small release I didn't do very well at all.
You know I didn't really do that -- box office either.
-- you alluded to this at the top that there is a new release that.
It ranks right up there with the three that we've just talked about.
What movie talking about.
I'm talking about playing for keeps with Gerard Butler -- Jessica Wheeler who with Thurman and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
All people who should know better.
This movie is getting a perfect storage getting the goose egg 0% nobody likes it at all.
I read -- -- very user that -- the papers today right didn't put a soccer cloture or something something like that is that I would talk about the same moving.
Yet yes he plays a guy who was a former professional soccer.
Player who.
Ends -- kind of washed out you know divorce but -- ends up.
Coaching his son's soccer team and all of these soccer moms start -- themselves out of.
That can't happen.
It's amazing that so many people sign on for these movies that.
You know they really don't stand a chance of doing anything but let -- -- it to be we weren't supposed to talk about this but I have to ask you while you're here the number one.
The best on your tomato meter what what was the highest rated movie so far 2012 match.
Between twelve you know that's a good question we've had some hundred -- I would say.
You don't probably the one who's doing the best right now is a movie called how to survive a play.
And it's a documentary about aids activists and last -- checked it was.
I -- not a 100% it was right up there and with the lottery is almost all the critics.
I say that it's a fantastic -- -- that's.
He is editor in chief of -- in tomatoes dot com you can find him on Twitter at them after the -- on Twitter that could be website is at rotten tomatoes and rotten tomatoes dot com good to see you Matt thanks very much for joining us.

Stop it, guys. [Darleen Click]
Why does Paul Ryan need you to explain the "strategy" of losing more slowly when Ryan, and especially Crier Boehner are slagging conservatives rather than being [ostensibly] honest about why they are doing this deal?
Why should conservatives accept the GOP Establishment narrative, as trickled down by spokesholes who fail to understand why the great unwashed snowbillies beyond the Beltway no longer have any trust in the meme "Well, we gotta have all three branches of Gov before we do anything"?
Last time we did, we got GW Bush's "compassionate conservatism". And that worked out well, don't you know?
Enough with the smoke up our ass.
"House passes bipartisan Murray-Ryan budget bill"
Which is one of the reasons I don't have much to say anymore. ObamaCare? Law of the land, can't be repealed, elections have consequences. Sequester? Law of the land, until it's not the law of the land — or until the voracious DC pigs need their fix at the trough, at which point that law is essentially gutted in exchange for a promise of savings from future Congresses (that doesn't even take into account accrued interest).
The GOP doesn't represent us, and it's establishment leaders are now openly looking to punish conservatives. The Democrats are essentially a socialist party, and as such they are ideologically driven and incapable of real compromise.
So. Now what?
GOP establishment to Americans: We Simply Refuse To Win!
President Barack Obama's job approval among American voters drops to a new low, a negative 38 – 57 percent, as the outlook for Democrats running for Congress and the U.S. Senate fades also, according to a national poll released today. He even gets a negative 41 – 49 percent among voters 18 to 29 years old and a lackluster 50 – 43 percent approval among Hispanic voters.
American voters say 41 – 38 percent that they would vote for a Republican over a Democrat for the U.S. House of Representatives, the first time this year the Democrats come up on the short end of this generic ballot. Independent voters back Republican candidates 41 – 28 percent. Voters also say 47 – 42 percent that they would like to see Republicans gain control of the U.S. Senate and the House. Independent voters go Republican 50 – 35 percent for each.
And the GOP leadership's response? Surrender to the Dems on a "bipartisan" budget deal that once again gives we the people the shit end of the stick — while at the same time, sending Mitch McConnell around the talk show circuit to tell us how we simply can't repeal ObamaCare, that the only way to get rid of it is to re-elect Republicans to power, even if those Republicans are the types who act in nearly every respect just like Democrats.
No thanks. Gonna pass. Not interested in the "positioning" or the gamesmanship, or who "gets blamed" if there's another government shutdown. I'm not some unaffected spectator at a game of political chess being played by those who are all pretty much set for life.
By trying to outmaneuver Dems on some imaginary political chess board, the GOP will once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, failing to stand up for the American people when it is leadership the American people want — not risk avoidance. In fact, I'm beginning to believe this is the plan: better to serve as the minority party in an explosive federal government awash in perks and corruption than to have to represent silly conservatives and their hoary principles, which would involve representatives willingly giving up much of their power and influence and wealth-wrangling ability.
Which, ha!
Run run Sarah save Christmas
Because all the polished pols? They just keep surrendering and dealing and generally fucking things up, kicking the can down the road while they feather their own nests, and expect us to just accept it.
And it looks like we're through with that nonsense. "Another conservative group comes out against expected budget deal":
Another influential conservative group is warning legislators not to support the expected budget deal being hammered out by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and Democratic Sen. Patty Murray.
Americans for Prosperity, an economic freedom group, said Monday that lawmakers should oppose any budget deal that violates the $967 billion spending cap for 2014 mandated by sequestration.
Reports coming out of the secret budget negotiations between Ryan and Murray indicate that a deal to prevent another government shutdown next year would increase next year's discretionary spending to more than $1 trillion, blowing through the spending caps agreed to by both parties in the Budget Control Act.
– I'm going to interject right here, briefly, to ask why there are "secret budget negotiations" in the first place? Think this is what the Founders and Framers intended of a representative republic?
Of course not. But this is exactly what it looks like when you're being ruled — even as those who seek to rule you work hard to maintain the illusion that they are your public servants, mostly because they don't want to end up tarred, feathered, and staring at the business end of a pitchfork.
The proposed Ryan-Murray deal, which would fund? the government past Jan. 15, would get rid of some sequester cuts and fund them with so-called revenue enhancements. The Washington Post reports that the deal could include "cuts to federal worker pensions and higher security fees for the nation's airline passengers."
The group's opposition comes as conservatives are starting to speak out against the expected deal. The Daily Caller reported Monday that Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said he cannot support a deal under these terms.
And conservative group Heritage Action also said Monday that they "cannot support a budget deal that would increase spending in the near-term for promises of woefully inadequate long-term reductions."
A deal is expected to be announced sometime this week.
Oh, stop your carping. You're going to cost us the Senate and a Chris Christie presidency, you unnuanced Hobbits.
Now sit down, shut up, and get your asses in line. I mean, bipartisan. Which is like magic. Duh!
#WaronBoys – the pathologizing of normal boy behavior continues [Darleen Click]
What do a six-year old boy and former San Diego Mayor Bob "Filthy" Filner have in common?
Permanent records of sexual harassment.
His mother says it's a crush and the two children like each other. But the school is calling it something else; sexual harassment.First grader, Hunter Yelton, told us he loves science and phys-ed. Also…that he has a crush on a girl at school, who likes him back.
It may sound innocent enough…but at six years old Hunter now has 'sexual harassment' on his school record.
"It was during class yeah. We were doing reading group and I leaned over and kissed her on the hand. That's what happened," said Hunter Yelton.
Six year old Hunter was at home on Monday instead of at school.
"They sent me to the office, fair and square. I did something wrong and I feel sorry," he said.
"She was fine with it, they are 'boyfriend and girlfriend'. The other children saw it and went to the music teacher. That was the day I had the meeting with the principal, where she first said 'sexual harassment'. This is taking it to an extreme that doesn't need to be met with a six year old. Now my son is asking questions… what is sex mommy? That should not ever be said, sex. Not in a sentence with a six year old," said Hunters' mom, Jennifer Saunders.
Both hunter and his mom, Jennifer, admit he's had some trouble at school in the past. Hunter has been suspended for rough-housing, and for kissing the same girl on the cheek.
Who benefits and who loses when the consensual, affectionate behavior of this little boy is conflated with the forced assaults on adult women perpetrated by Bob Filner?
At six years old, I guarantee you that most of the little girls at Hunter's school have a best (same-sex) friend they hug or hold hands with. Yet it is this little first grader who is now officially labeled what the Left-gender-feminists consider all males –
Potential rapist.
This boy wasn't involved in anything dangerous, illegal or even immoral. He didn't even "steal" the kiss. But hey, he's a BOY and being the kisser makes the female kissee a "victim." I note in the article that the boy has been in trouble for "rough-housing". Just what the heck do these Soviet drones think little boys do when acting naturally?
Rhetorical question, that. Instead of channeling the energy, the Leftist educrats are determined to pathologize and punish it.
And just like the imaginary arrow shooting I posted about earlier, what scares me to death is that the school came down like a ton of bricks because other kids saw this and tattled to the teacher.
Boys are not only being isolated for their non-girl behavior, but even their relationships with best friends of the same sex are now being portrayed as latent homosexuality.
The family of Norman Rockwell is waging a fierce campaign against a new biography of him, bristling at the book's suggestions that Rockwell, artist of small-town Americana, could have been secretly gay or harbored pedophilic impulses. [...]In the book, Ms. Solomon raises the question of whether Rockwell was gay, writing that he "demonstrated an intense need for emotional and physical closeness with men," and that his marriages may have been a strategy for "controlling his homoerotic desires." She described a camping trip in Quebec that Rockwell took with his male assistant, during which the men swam and played cards together late into the night, and Rockwell noted in his diaries that his assistant looked "most fetching in his long flannels." There is nothing, Ms. Solomon cautioned in the book, "to suggest that he had sex with men."
Later in the book, Ms. Solomon writes that "we are made to wonder whether Rockwell's complicated interest in the depiction of preadolescent boys was shadowed by pedophilic impulses." She again added a disclaimer: "There is no evidence that he acted on his impulses or behaved in a way that was inappropriate for its time."
The iconic paintings of Norman Rockwell that poignantly and playfully portray all manner of boys, girls, teens and adults have the males pictures now used as examples of homoerotism.
Makes you wonder, now that Ray Bradbury is dead, when Something Wicked This Way Comes is declared "twink fiction" and Bradbury as a latent pedophile.
Punish boys for exuberant behavior and the dreaded heteronormative behavior, but also cut them off from having close, emotional relationships with a best friend least it be "homoerotic", and one successfully destroys a creative and, most importantly, independent and self-reliant human being.
Big Government cannot function properly with those in the mix.
I can't
I have no idea why the people in this country aren't in full-on revolt against the New Left Democrats and the road they are taking us down. It will not be long before doctors are told they must become indentured servants to the state if they wish to practice; profit motive will be finally and fully demonized; and we'll be corralled like livestock into permanent government dependency pens.
I'm sick to my stomach.
The US, it turns out, lost the Cold War. Except that it also won the Cold War — if you consider that the faction of socialists, Marxists, and liberal fascists who exist inside the US as US citizens are the Cold War's victors ultimate victors. Look at our regulatory system. Look at our media. Look at our schools. Look at the cavalier disregard for a stable rule of law and the easy dismissal of our Constitution.
We have the power to stop these largely paper tigers — whose power is derived by our refusal to deny it to them — but we are widely distributed, largely unorganized, and undercut by many of those supposedly on "our" side, who have learned to live like barnacles on the state and make their living, perversely, pretending always to fight against what they surreptitiously work to maintain.
Something has to give. And right now, it's my spirits.
"Gun Grabbers Sliding Down Slippery Slope Marked Mental Health"
Why didn't anyone see this coming?
The Firearms Coalition writes [via ammoland.com]:
Gun rights advocates around the country need to be on the lookout for an insidious new tactic being launched by Mike Bloomberg and his mercenary minions. The strategy: use the wide acceptance of the idea that the mentally ill should not have access to firearms, as a front for prohibiting a broad array of "normal" people from possessing guns or ammunition. As with most things, the devil is in the details. What is mental illness? Who is mentally ill? How mentally ill must one be to warrant revocation of a fundamental human right? Who makes that determination? Who is "normal," and how "normal" do they have to be to own guns? Recently . . .
One of Bloomberg's pet politicians, Ralph Northam, whom Bloomberg spent over a million dollars to get elected as Lt. Governor of Virginia, spelled out the plan during a "gun violence" symposium. The event turned out to be a gun control meeting discussing a strategy of trickery and deception to get firearm restrictions passed through legislatures by hiding it in bills dealing with mental health.
My friend Philip Van Cleave, the President of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, was at the meeting and reported that Northam was very candid about the plan and the sneak attack strategies for bypassing committees and public comment, and preventing rights groups from being able to mount opposition until it's too late. He particularly lauded the Connecticut and New York models where both states used "emergency" legislation to pass draconian bills with no hearings, no committee votes, and no public input. He also discussed strategies to gain support from rights leaders by quietly negotiating deals to keep a bill "clean" and leave out overt anti-rights provisions, while concealing the provisions that seriously threaten rights.
It isn't often that we hear anti-rights extremists openly admitting their true strategies and objectives. Someone has probably since suggested to Mr. Northam that the first rule in executing an effective, secret plan might be to not announce the details of the plan in advance.
All of which sounds bad, but in reality is nothing more than mere fear mongering by gunfetishists on the right. Because nobody wants to take away your guns. Politicians have stood up and told us this time and time and time again.
And politicians never ever lie.
Stop it with the breathless hyperbole and trust in the virtue of your dear leaders, for Chrissakes. What are you, anti-patriotic? Paranoid? Because if it's the latter, they have cures for that now, powerful drugs, therapy…and you can get the help you need, comrade.

"Obama's base crumbling amid health care debacle"
So notes David Freddoso, citing decreasing confidence in and/or favorability for the law among many Democrats.
Fortunately, what's really happening is that many Democrats are learning that they were never part of Obama's base — that their rote determination or their habitual and perfunctory inclination to always vote Democrat has led them to empower those among the New Left, once vehement critics of the Democrat Party, who have taken the party over, keeping its name but not its governing philosophy.
That is, they are waking up — and upon doing so, they realize that all the noise they've been picking up about the evils of conservatives and teabaggers may just have been a tad misleading, and that they have themselves, through their own intellectual indolence and an incurious complacency, proved the cause of their own current suffering.
Elections have consequences. I know this, because I heard a dem-God say it. Then he went out and became his very own performative.
More ObamaCrash
The threat that Obamacare could end up shutting down volunteer firehouses, the site not working again, the administrators demanding bonuses and raises . . . rough end of the week for Obamacare. But things had to get better this weekend, right?
Behold, members of Congress and their staff, unable to purchase insurance through the exchanges. I'll give you a moment to stop laughing at the hardships of other people.
Congress itself is now having so much trouble signing up for the Obamacare exchanges that late Friday the top administrator in the House of Representatives laid out a backup plan in case lawmakers and staff can't get through the process by the time their enrollment ends Monday.
The red flags started reaching critical mass Thursday and Friday, when some staff and members of Congress told House administrators they were having trouble enrolling through the Washington health exchange, known as DC Health Link. The D.C. exchange is the official signup portal for Congress, where members must go to get health care through their job.
Then the state of California decided that they could do whatever they wanted with the personal information that insurance shoppers typed into the site:
Raising concerns about consumer privacy, California's health exchange has given insurance agents the names and contact information for tens of thousands of people who went online to check out coverage but didn't ask to be contacted.
The Covered California exchange said it started handing out this consumer information this week as part of a pilot program to help people enroll ahead of a Dec. 23 deadline to have health insurance in place by Jan. 1.
State officials said they are only trying to help potential customers find insurance and sign up in time. But some insurance brokers and consumers who were contacted said they were astonished by the state's move.
"I'm shocked and dumbfounded," said Sam Smith, an Encino insurance broker and president of the California Assn. of Health Underwriters, an industry group.
Smith said he was under the impression from the exchange that these consumers had requested assistance. He received the names of two consumers this week but has not yet contacted them.
And they wonder why people don't trust the government!
Then we learned the implementation in Maryland was even worse than anyone imagined:
Although state officials have provided the public scant detail about the troubled launch of Maryland's version of Obamacare, emails and documents show that the project was beset behind the scenes for months by an array of technical issues, warring contractors and other problems.
Since Maryland's online health exchange opened Oct. 1 for people to buy insurance under the Affordable Care Act — and immediately crashed — the two main companies in charge of the website have taken their fight to court, a corporate project manager was replaced and a high-powered consulting firm was quietly brought in to restore order. Though state officials initially said the crash of the online exchange was an unexpected and fixable problem, emails and documents obtained by The Baltimore Sun through state open-records laws outline serious issues before and after the launch.
The revelations came just days before Rebecca Pearce, the head of the exchange, resigned. State officials announced that move Friday night and pulled Carolyn Quattrocki from the governor's health reform office to serve as an interim replacement.
Just two weeks before the launch, Pearce visited the prime contractor's Linthicum headquarters and found a room of empty seats. She fired off an email questioning the company's commitment to resolve problems and reminding the contractors of what was at stake: "Tonight, I am begging. I don't know how else to say it: we have got to make this a reality."
Finally, remember all of those administration officials telling the public to use paper applications if the website wasn't working? Well, now they're not so sure there's time to process all of those:
Federal health officials, after encouraging alternate sign-up methods amid the fumbled rollout of their online insurance website, began quietly urging counselors around the country this week to stop using paper applications to enroll people in health insurance because of concerns those applications would not be processed in time.
Interviews with enrollment counselors, insurance brokers and a government official who works with navigators in Illinois reveal the latest change in direction by the Obama administration, which had been encouraging paper applications and other means because of all the problems with the federal website. Consumers must sign up for insurance under the federal health overhaul by Dec. 23 in order for coverage to start in January.
"We received guidance from the feds recommending that folks apply online as opposed to paper," said Mike Claffey, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Insurance.
After a conference call earlier this week with federal health officials, Illinois health officials sent a memo Thursday to their roughly 1,600 navigators saying there is no way to complete marketplace enrollment through a paper application. The memo, which Claffey said was based on guidance from federal officials, said paper applications should be used only if other means aren't available.
So yeah, it was as bad a weekend for Washington-run health care as it was for the Washington Redskins.
At this point, I'm surprised ObamaCare doesn't just tell all the politicians and bureaucrats to sod off and repeal itself — if for no other reason than to save itself from such daily embarrassments. I mean, the poor thing didn't ask for any of this while it was sitting in some leftist's hope chest, waiting to be dusted off and passed by a single party so that we could all get to see what's in it.
Honestly. This is becoming like the worst episode of "Storage Wars" ever.
Local Tales of OCare fail
Courtesy RI Red, "Federal glitches 'devastating' for HealthSource RI":
The Obama administration's botched launch of the health law's online marketplaces has created problems for Rhode Island even though the state's own locally built system has been working well, HealthSource RI executive director Christine Ferguson acknowledged Thursday.
"For us what happened at the federal level has been somewhat devastating," Ferguson said during a taping of myRITV's Executive Suite. "If you think about marketing – anytime you have to do marketing or sales, if you've got some huge thing that's affecting your ability to get your message out, it seriously dampens your ability to do it."
"Initially … I downplayed it," Ferguson said of the impact. "But at this point it's affecting us."
But don't fret. Ferguson is optimistic nevertheless:
HealthSource RI processed 4,405 completed applications for insurance between Oct. 1 and Nov. 2, with 3,213 of those enrolling in Medicaid, the government program for lower-income Americans, and 1,192 enrolling in private plans. More up-to-date enrollment data won't be released until next week, but Ferguson said the trend is up.
"It's increasing on a weekly, daily basis," she said. "Given all the stuff that's happening on the federal level, it is still encouraging because we are moving in the right direction – not as fast as I would like, but I'm competitive anyway; it's never going to be fast enough for me."
Individuals have until Dec. 23 to sign up for insurance coverage and have it take effect at the start of the year. Open enrollment for partial-year coverage is scheduled to continue through March 31, "but at this rate it wouldn't surprise me if the federal government changed that, too," Ferguson said.
HealthSource RI is seeking an annual administrative budget of $17 million to $20 million, according to Ferguson – not the widely cited figure of nearly $26 million contained in state budget documents for 2014-15. She said the higher figure includes one-time federal money that won't be used again.
A budget of $17 million to $20 million is "a number that we've put out as a possible range, but the legislature has to act, the governor still hasn't made a decision, so we're in the process of working those things through," Ferguson said. No decision has been made about how to pay for HealthSource's annual budget once federal money runs out in 2015.
Who needs decisions? What you have going for you is leftist economics: just pretend you have the money, spend it, and accrue debt that you have no intention of ever having to pay back, and that will somehow magically resolve itself because, well, SOCIAL JUSTICE.
So long as a big budget is allotted for administration and government service work, that's all that really matters. That people will be receiving inferior health care at higher rates and less choice? That's the price we have to be willing to pay for equality. And many politicians who don't have to worry about participating in the flawed system are willing to pay that price for us.
God bless 'em.

12 Years Slave Nominated for the Golden Globes
The movie adaption of 12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northup received 7 nods on Thursday morning in the "Best Drama" category for the Golden Globes.
Perhaps the best written of all the slave narratives, Twelve Years a Slave is a harrowing memoir about one of the darkest periods in American history. It recounts how Solomon Northup, born a free man in New York, was lured to Washington, D.C., in 1841 with the promise of fast money, then drugged and beaten and sold into slavery. He spent the next twelve years of his life in captivity on a Louisiana cotton plantation.
12 Years A Slave was also the most honored film Wednesday when the Screen Actors Guild announced its awards season favorites. In all, it earned four SAG nomination.

Green River Trip 2009
A story by Rob Pizem
Most of the time when you are preparing for a climbing trip, you are pouring over guide books, looking at photos and talking to everyone that you know about what climbs you should try when you get there. The green river trip that I just returned from was just the opposite. There were no recorded ascents (just rumors), there were no developed areas (just miles of cliff line), and you needed a boat or 4x4 to access everything.
I was on the road during my fall break from teaching with a couple friends to begin a real adventure, which (as usual) Andrew Burr concocted a while back. We were going to canoe down the green river just north of Canyonlands National Park to try to climb the Green River Towers and anything else that looked good.
The first three days were hot and we used the canoes to access a cliff line over the river called the Willow quadrangle. We found two old uranium adits, a bunch of old relic mining equipment, some petrified wood, ripple marks and of course a few gem crack climbs. Andy took photos while we had the pleasure of climbing, cleaning and bolting these new lines. It was great fun using the spotting scope to identify a possible crack climb and then to paddle over, scramble up the talus over the green river to check it out and hopefully get lucky.
Closer to camp, also during those first three days, we headed up to a buttress of stone past yet another old uranium mine that we called the Riverbend Buttress. It yielded four new crack climbs each of which were first climbed by all four of us. The Riverbend Buttress requires plenty of big cams; like 2 number sixes up to 4 number fives and 4 number four cams along with all the smaller cam sizes. I will have to say that my Arcteryx clothing and harness really held up well while I was grinding it out on desert offwidth crack climbing.
After we took care of the plumb lines at Riverbend we decided it was time to load up the canoes and head on down stream to the green river towers. We each knew that we could have stayed and developed new cracks for the rest of the trip but the towers were the real objective. None of us were very skilled at canoeing but after a few minutes of going the wrong direction on the river, we managed to keep the boats pointed downstream and quickly had the towers within view.
They rose from the opposite side of the river into 6 unique and different summits. We had hoped to climb each of them and dreamed of perfect splitters heading to each oddly shaped peak. Once we paddled closer, we found a sand bar to set up camp on and gaze at the new terrain. All that was left was to paddle across the 200 feet of water and hike up the hillside and talus. Since we arrived in the evening, we were able to watch the sunset on the towers and to our surprise we saw a set of anchors and even a bolt glistening in the waning daylight. Someone else had climbed these beautiful towers. That was fine with us; we could leave the drill at camp!
That next morning we filled our packs with all the gear we could and headed up to the towers. Only after chopping a trail through the bushes and trees for a half hour did we get to begin our approach. As we neared the towers, we easily saw that the cracks that looked small and thin from camp turn into offwidth test pieces. We were in for some work up the wide stuff. Nearly every summit was to be obtained only after muscling our way up wide cracks. The end of the trip certainly proved that as my elbow and knees were scabbed and bloody from the past two days on the towers.
Each of the 4 summits that we ascended was hard fought and rewarding. The first tower was a long 200 foot pitch that required a couple of 4, 5, and 6 inch pieces. The next required some hard wear and nailing to get through an aid section on pitch two. After getting some proper protection in the crack, (a few pins) we freed the pitch and climbed crumbly last pitch to the summit high over the river. We could watch the other river users paddle and motor down stream in the early fall heat of the desert.
The last two towers were freed with a lot more offwidth techniques and a never give up attitude. All the while a wind storm came through the valley and destroyed Andy's tent poles and sent out tent blowing to the rivers edge. That nights wind provided us with a lot of sand on the menu. The final tower had a rack of 2 six inch cams, 4 five inch cams, 4 four inch cams and 2 three inch cams and 2 one inch cams. A monster pitch took us to the saddle of the tower, which was then followed by a second pitch crescent moon shaped chimney with an arête exit to the summit on hollow face holds. As the wind blew and the ground dropped out below us and the sun set, the satisfaction of good friends, good climbing and adventure set in before we had to paddle downstream to the take out. Thanks to my sponsors for making this trip happen: Arcteryx, Scarpa, Camp-USA and Sterling Ropes.

Our team is ready to assist you!
Glan-Laser Polarizers offer a high extinction ratio with the added feature that both the extraordinary rays and ordinary rays are accessible. The extraordinary rays are transmitted through both prisms while the ordinary rays are reflected off the hypotenuse and transmitted out the escape window (typical exit angle is 23° for a normal incidence beam), allowing the component to be used as a polarizing beamsplitter. Note: Damage threshold limits are nominal and may vary due to material properties of the naturally occuring calcite crystal. No warranty is implied.
Each Glan-Laser Polarizer is comprised of two mounted air-spaced calcite prisms which are available uncoated or with an anti-reflection (AR) coating and mounted in a protective black anodized aluminum housing. Glan-Laser Polarizers are manufactured with a superior grade of calcite chosen to minimize beam scatter and distortion allowing the polarizer to withstand much higher laser power densities than Glan-Taylor Polarizers. Field of View (FOV) specifications (noted @ 632.8nm) are limited by several parameters. FOV1 is 1.2°, limited by the critical angle of the prism hypotenuse; FOV2 is 6.4°, limited by the critical angle of the input window.
