McCormick & Schmick's Seafood - Crystal City
Online Reservations
The service of our meal was rather slow, but the food tasted very good when it came out. Our server was very nice and apologetic about the wait. Kid-friendly atmosphere for Mother's Day brunch. They forgot to provide the complimentary truffles which were advertised. We asked before departing and it took another 10 minutes for them to come out.
The food is wonderful, as is the service. Unfortunately, the restaurant always seems to have a hard time with the special instructions I put on the reservation, such as a menu with my girlfriend's name, or the special flower that they offer and I agree to get. They usually make it right, but I have to ask. Also, they lost our Landry's card on one occasion. Why do we keep coming back? The food and the service.
This was the perfect spot for a Mother's Day away from home, and it all went perfectly. Right from the start, the greeters at the desk were smiling and helpful and sat us immediately. We had a great waiter, TJ, and he was helpful and took care of everything. I like that someone asked if we wanted lemon slices for the water. We did, and she brought us a bowl in a few seconds. The menu was super, lots of good choices. TJ did a good job of explaining everything, and because of that I ordered one of the specials. We all enjoyed our meals, and the desserts were great. I got the walnut apple pie with cinnamon ice cream-very tasty. Then the plate of chocolate truffles for my wife...perfect way to end a great meal and a great time!
held business lunch here with 5 other associates. It was a calming environment with a lot to offer a small group, such as we were.
The restaurant has an extensive menu with many choices. Everything I have ever chosen there has been great. I will definitely visit this location again.
We loved the Steak and Lobster meal & that upside down apple pie/ with cinnamon ice cream. Is the GREATEST!!
Great! overall experience, everything was in place at the times requested. We enjoyed the ambiance along with the good food and convenience.
As always, the food was outstanding. It is a very nice restaurant, convenient to my workplace, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I have eaten at this restaurant numerous times before, and the service has always been excellent. However, on this visit, the server seemed to be having a bad day -- not enough to keep me from back, because every time before then, the service could not have been better.
We had a large group of 20, all ariving separately, and many late because of thunderstorms, flight delays, etc. The food was very good. There was also considerable variety to satisfy a span of ages and tastes. The wait staff were very accomodating to our constantly getting up to great late arivals and changing seating.
Our business dinner was excellent. The server, Pam, was awesome. Lovely person!
Always enjoy the fresh seafood with daily specials that always hit the spot. Great selection of food and always well prepared - Bar is always a hit. I keep going and bringing my business there.
Took my wife for our anniversary dinner and had our 18-month old son along. The dinner was wonderful, they accommodated for both the 18-month old and my wife's recent surgery. Food was delicious and the service was excellent.
Our food was great made to order changes where not a problem for the kitchen. The waitress was energetic and pleasant and her knowledge of the menu was outstanding!
You can always count on McCormick and Schmick's for wonderful and creative preparations of seafood.
The Parmesan crusted fish is still great and the scallops were perfect...service was just right too! The upside down apple pie is top notch too. Should have just shared one....
Good lunch, typical at McCormick & Schmick's at Crystal City. Hostess was very friendly, polite, and comprehensive. New waitress Rae was excellent on her first day. Rae also was extra friendly and working hard to do a good job, would be happy to have her as our waitress again.
I was very pleased that the chef prepared my salmon entree in a manner that I'd enjoyed before but was no longer listed as a menu item. Since I am allergic to shellfish, this entra attention was/is (it has been done before) very much appreciated.
After having to reschedule my first dinner I was happy I had a chance at a "redo". They made it so special by adding "Happy Birthday Courtney" on our menus for a personal touch. The server Cameron was witty and fun; she didn't mind our loudness and silliness. The staff were great and the food was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better Birthday dinner.
Everything from the menu, the service, and the outstanding food screamed professionalism and caring. The restaurant staff made us feel like we were the only ones there. They became an integral part of our celebration. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for either a quiet dinner for two all the way to a larger party celebrating a significant life event!
I have never had anything short of fantastic every time I dine at your restaurant. The staff is always professional courteous and literally goes out of their to ensure comfort is what I receive. I never get tired of the complete package McCormick & Schmidt always present. See you next week. Sincerely An always pleased customer.
My wife and I traveled to the DC area and couldn't wait to eat here. However, we did show up early enough to take advantage of the happy hour specials - food and drinks. Dollar oysters were fantastic. The staff was attentive but not smothering, friendly and fun both at the bar and in the dining area. We are extremely satisfied.
good fish! my husband had the stuffed salmon, it was amazing. I had the flounder, it was good, but too much butter! crab dip was decent. my husband enjoyed the clam chowder
Seated right away at a table per my Open Table request. I brought in another person last minute and was eagerly accommodated by the hostess with a smile and pleasant greeting. Rae our server was superb, coming in and out of the table with impeccable timing and friendliness to serve our apps, drinks, and meal. The seared Ahi tuna & fish tacos were top notch. Excellent experience.
We treated two very special friends to dinner at McCormick & Schmick's in Crystal City. The service was outstanding, the food was also outstanding. And the atmosphere was great. This was a 5 star evening with special friends made extra special by McCormick & Schmick's.
If you want great figh, this is your place. Nice varity of entrees, great, sides.
Always --- great atmosphere and great food to entertain and conduct business in a comfortable upscale environment. Always my first pick when I want to entertain friends, family and business associates. Never disappoints.
The food and service is always good no matter if I stop in to enjoy lunch or dinner. The meals are delivered promptly and cooked to perfection. I have never had over cooked fish or had to return anything to the kitchen (and trust me, I will). Save room for dessert, you won't be sorry especially if it's the cheesecake.
I have brought workers, bosses, parents, in-laws, and classmates - all have enjoyed the M&S experience!
M&S is well known for seafood but the quality is sometimes inconsistent. The food this evening was quite good, although they were out of a few items on the menu at 7 PM on a Wednesday evening. Service was fine, attentive, and apologetic for the missing menu items. This time it all was quite good. I had the trout and vegetables along with a vey delicious apple cobbler and ice cream.
Crystal City McCormick & Schmick's Seafood is another great find in the Landry's restaurant chain. If you are a member, you get treated as VIP's... helps with priority seating during the dinner rush. Our server was most attentive and made sure our food was promptly delivered so we could get to our show on time. Food is excellent and a nice selection of custom drinks.
Attended a seminar in Pentagon City. Made reservations for Friday night 7:30. Arrived at 7:15 and seated right away - that usually doesn't happen. We had a great seafood/fish meal. Our server was Kim - what a gem! Very bubbly personality. When she learned that I would be celebrating a birthday the following day, Kim brought a complimentary desert to our table. The next time I am in DC - I will be paying another visit to M & S.
I was in town for the Marine Corps Marathon and staying at a hotel in Crystal City. Saw my reliable friendly McCormick & Schmick's nearby from the shuttle to the hotel and was able to get reservation for 1 for a relatively early dinner without any problems. Food was excellent although it was a little noisy from the happy hour crowd in the front. All in all, my need to be accommodated with good food and still be in bed early (it's a running thing) was met. As a military vet I take advantage of you for the free meals on Veteran's Day in Houston so was glad to find you so close in Crystal City, VA.
Service was excellent, food portion sizes were perfect. Very enjoyable lunch. The coffee was amazing!
I used OpenTable to make my reservation. Under supplemental preferences, my only request was not to be seated near the kitchen entrance - You guessed it, that is exactly where they tried to seat us. Other than that, the evening was very nice. Our waiter was a bit sweaty, but it was an unusually warm evening. The food was very good, very filling. The only other comment was my wife ordered a salad for us to split, they brought out 2 plates, which at the time we thought was very nice. However, upon receipt of the bill, we noticed they charged us for 2 salads. Which is fine, the portion was merely enough for one person, but the waiter should have said something. The check presentation is not the time for surprises.
Met a friend at this restaurant for a business discussion. Food was very good, service was outstanding. Ask for Kim the next time you are at McCormick & Schmick's in Crystal City - she is outstanding!
I started with Oysters on the half-shell; a M&S delicacy! The Veteran's Day Special salmon was cooked to perfection. The pumpkin-applesauce cheesecake reflected all that is good about the Fall!
My husband and I appreciated the free meal for Veterans. We have enjoyed McCormick and Schmick's in the past. This meal was not quite as good. There was a mistake when we paid and it was busy, hard to get our server's attention. Overall, things were fine but we have come to expect more than "fine" with this restaurant.
Excellent meats and superb service however the vegetables, especially the "wallpaper paste' mashed potatoes, were a grave disappointment. No one should ever be afflicted with reconstituted food in a premier restaurant. The place was packed and jumping when we arrived and gradually calmed down during the evening, but while the numbers dwindled so did the temperature inside; at the end making us very uncomfortable. The people providing us with service were wonderful, the décor was lovely and the meat and fish we ate very delicious.
Lovely restaurant and outstanding food and service. Would recommend to friends and family.
My battle buddy and I went there on Nov. 10 for military appreciation day and received the best meal of the year! I would recommend this place any professional or aspiring professional. The staff was very professional and helpful. The meal was priceless as well as the view.
We had bacon-wrapped "shrimp kisses" (5 big shrimp), then he chose rigatoni with salmon, asparagus, mushrooms & artichokes from the Veterans Day menu of 6-8 choices. I had melt-in-your-mouth cashew-crusted tilapia, and we shared a Heath crunch brownie for dessert. Every dish was outstanding! Busy night due to their Veterans Day special, so we had to wait a bit even though we had a reservation.
Our server Earl was the best. We made reservations like we always do when we come to Crystal City to dine with our friends. Did not know that McCormick's was honoring Veteran's Day with their special menu with ID. We all were retired Navy, thank you so much. Two of us ate lite and did not take the special menu options, but thank you regardless. Others were delighted with the special service honor. There were active duty Marines present that night too, in their dress uniforms, Sunday 11/10 was the USMC Birthday.... Thank you Mc &S for remembering us....
For the last 3 years I've been fortunate to take advantage of the free meals provided by McCormick & Schmick's on Veterans Day. I've been going to this restaurant for the last 8 years on and off. A funtastic Happy Hour where I go to sometimes before going to the Verizon Center for special events. The food has always been exceptional. When my wife and I want Fish and Chips, we have never been let down by the same ole succulent taste, great food. I try to share my experiences with my friends and always recommend their establishment for fine dining and quiet ambience, thank you.
Went to M&S-Crystal City as they were having a special menu for Veteran's. It was awesome meal and selection. It was a little loud at times but otherwise excellent.
We had a great time! The food was delish-even my 16mo couldn't get enough! The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and again, everything we ordered was really nicely prepared!
My girlfriend and I love m&s we visit the restaurant everytime we are out of town. We made a reservation for our anniversary and asked for a booth. We arrived to the restaurant and they told us they would like to provided us with a private dining table' which was perfect ! Our server was ok, a little to hyped up on red bull. Our food was good and the private table was cozy.
A typical business dinner at M&S Seafood - Crystal City. Great service at the bar preceeded an excellent meal and good service. Despite being the middle of the week, the restaurant quickly filled up. We are frequent visits to this restaurant and it continued to meet the high expectations we have for it. Highly recommended!
This is the second time I've eaten at McCormikck & Scmick's Crystal City in the last two weeks. Food and service on the first round were outstanding. Food on the second round was outstanding; service was very bad. Our waiter kept disappearing and reappeared, it seemed, only at his convenience. We had to ask another waiter for our check. I gave our waiter a 10% tip; he deserved less.
A great night! Great food to include the presentation. Everyone was courteious, helpful and wanted to be there. I would easily recommend this facility.
Had a client in town and had our dinner meeting here. Made a reservation via OpenTable and all went fine. Food was reliably good, as was the service.

Whoever views his pond as a habitat for animals and plants knows that it is a coordinated team made up of life and technology. And just as we human beings treat ourselves to wellness and care, refreshing treatment will also do any body of water good. Every pond runs through a development cycle. Plants and fish grow. Over the course of the year it experiences a hot summer and closed ice cover in winter. To keep the pond healthy through the changing seasons and life cycles, it is important to have clear information about water quality. You can easily check the water quality yourself and regulate it if something gets out of balance. Thus, you always stay a step ahead of murky water. For this you must briefly dip the Aqua Activ Quickstick into the water, then you can quickly and easily determine the pH value, the total hardness, carbonate hardness, as well as nitrite and nitrate content. To care for the pond eco system, the OASE Aqua Activ range offers everything that you need for sustainably healthy water. For example Silt Remover contributes to gentle water cleaning and helps prevent silt-up and long-term turbidity.
Healthy pond:
Whoever wants to know how the water quality in his pond is doing will find the OASE test sets at specialised stockists. You can have your water sample tested on site by OASE Aqua Activ partners. The results and a written treatment recommendation will then be sent to you.
With your Pondovac pond cleaner vacuum you can quickly and easily remove a variety of debris from your pond, thanks to the supplied nozzles many different applications are possible.
If debris is input via the surface of the pond then it's time to clean up – so that contaminants in the pond haven't got a chance and that leaves as well as other solids don't drop to the pond floor and contaminate the pond water.
From the outside, we can only see what is happening in the bio-system of the garden pond when it is almost too late. The clever pond owner acts early: with a few regular activities, he keeps an eye on the quality of the water.
With the OASE fish medicine you support your pond inhabitants to recover if there is disease or new stock in the water. Competent, reliable and highly effective; the products ensure the health and well-being of your fish. products
Useful pond helpers. For relaxed trimming tasks in and around the garden pond.

INTERIM STUDY REPORT General Government Committee Rep. Dennis Johnson, Chairman Oklahoma House of Representatives Interim Study 11-034, Rep. Randy Grau October 17, 2011 Local government mandatory publication notices and related costs Representative Randy Grau firstname.lastname@example.com • Made opening remarks stating that the study was a continuation of efforts from last session. The goal was to bring press and publication industries together with the local government to find out how to properly notify the public about what is going on in government in the most efficient way. Mark Thomas, Executive Vice President Oklahoma Press Association email@example.com • Provided an overview of the fundamentals of public notice and how other states provide public notices. • There are two kinds of public notice rates in the United States. o Free market rates are based on the newspaper's classified rate. Most states pay for publication of public notices based on a free market rate. o Other states have a fixed rate to pay for public notices. Oklahoma has a fixed rate. Currently, the fixed rate in statute is 40 percent less than the average classified rate. • There is a trend of states switching to a market rate rather than using a fixed rate system. • Explained the variation of fixed rates and what factors determine the fixed rate in other states. The state of the economy can be a contributing factor when establishing a rate. • Mr. Thomas brought the legal notice section of a few local newspapers to show the amount of notices and the space on the page used. Also illustrated the readability variation of the notices. Some are easy to read, while other notices are in small font and more difficult to read. • Provided a brief overview of the Oklahoma Meeting Act and Oklahoma Records Act and the purposes of each. See presentation a Ray Vaughn, Oklahoma County Commissioner District Three email@example.com • Listed the governmental entities that are required to publish notices and the number of times they are required to publish notices in a year. • Noted that counties in Oklahoma are required to publish notices significantly more times a year than the state government. • There are two types of publications. o Ultimately reimbursed publications are repaid to the county when the bill is paid or property is sold. Commissioner Vaughn described the collection cycle process

Getting ready for another costume
Or he could be the perfect Dracula. His baby blues catch the eyes of the ladies. He already has a somewhat dashing quality to him. And he has gotten very good at flashing his teeth.
Maybe he's not a monster deep down inside. Perhaps a cowboy would fit his style better. He loves gazing at cows for hours at end. He has been a master shooter with his toy gun. And he is more at home in a pasture than a playground.
With Halloween quickly approaching, I am not real sure what costume would best suit James. But I am gonna let him make the choice this year. At almost three years old, this could very well be a big step into his "manhood" – making his first Halloween costume selection.
On his first Halloween, he was a cute spider. On first Halloweens Mommas tend to go for the plump, fluffy look with the costumes. Most of them take the shape of a giant bowl for the babies.
First Halloweens usually equally a round pumpkin, a pastel cupcake or chubby clown, depending on the gender of the child.
James was a very round spider. The outfit slipped over his chubby body, and it had four legs attached on each side that dangled off like a spider. It also had a widow's peak-like head gear that went over his face.
Fluffed up in his spider outfit, the poor thing had to sit outside, leaned against a hay bale for pictures. As a Momma, I can never have too many pictures of James. And his first Halloween was a big deal.
Snapping away, I took possibly hundreds of photographs. At one point, James lost his balance and fell over. The costume was so round and huge that he literally rolled around because he couldn't catch his balance.
By the time I straightened him up, the photo session was over.
"Come on baby," Jason would say to me. That's what Jason always says when he starts feeling sorry for James. And it's usually during photo sessions.
For James' second Halloween, he was a pirate. With red and black striped shorts, a tattered black shirt and a red bandanna, he was the perfect Captain Blackbeard.
But I lost him when it came time for the facial decorations. What does every pirate need? A stitched up scar on his cheek of course. Using my eyeliner, I proceeded to draw a scar on James' face.
He immediately began crying because he didn't know what was going on. His tears rolling down his cheek smeared my artwork, and we had to start all over again.
Jason was probably concerned when he came into the living room only to find his baby boy cornered in the recliner while Momma poked an eyeliner pencil in his face.
The end result was perfect though, and I had the sweetest little pirate, complete with cheek scar.
I sometimes wonder who enjoys the costume part better, me or James. It seems like Mommas get so wrapped into making them pull off perfect. As long as we get that perfect photo, that is all that matters.
I bring out those two photo sessions from time to time. James looks like an angel with his little white face and fluffy spider costume. And my little pirate could teach Captain Hook a few lessons.
What the photos don't show is the spider tights that ripped from crawling around in the driveway that first year. And you miss the pirate who threw his bandanna down and exposed his belly to passing trick or treaters.
I am so ready to see what James decides to be this year. And I can bet you that I will be there with a prop in my hand, camera in my bag and an idea of how to make the costume even more better.
And I can assure you Jason will be behind me, giving James the signal to just do what Momma says. It's probably the best thing to do during all birthday parties, school pictures and holiday celebrations.
A Momma with a camera is a difficult person to try to reason with.

Our wonderful trip to Belize began with four nights in the Jungle of Lamania. We stayed at the Lamanai Outpost Lodge and took day and night trips filled with adventure and amazement. Our guide, Maricio, took us on night safari, spear fishing, canoeing, birding and a wonderful trip to the local ruins.
I took my animal loving, adventurous, knowledge-thirsty son to Costa Rica for a week this summer -- we had the time of our lives.

We would highly recommend anyone to take a trip with Adventure Life, as we have been looking into a few other trips with them as well.

School Memberships
A remarkable opportunity for learning and teaching: school membership
The power of electronic media for engaging and effective instruction has been known to good educators for many years. Educational television, Smart Boards, PowerPoints, computer access, etc., have truly transformed the way education is delivered. Students and teachers have come to depend on quick access to information and high quality visual and aural resources as integral parts of the planned curriculum. On February 19, 2009, our schools, like everyone else, fully enters the digital age with analog television going away by federal law. This will have a significant impact on the educational resources available to the schools.
School membership with WDSE•WRPT is an affordable and trusted educational resource for our Northland schools. The services offered to our schools by WDSE•WRPT have increased in recent years, but the cost (thanks to grants) has actually decreased by 40%. For $0.75 per student, school membership offers your school these great benefits.
- 6 hours of pre-K-12 instructional television, broadcast Monday-Friday during the school year. More than 1,800 programs, covering every subject discipline and grade level, are offered each year. These programs may be copied off-air for educational purposes and used with students when the time is convenient for the teacher. The Parade of Programs, the instructional TV guide, is available only to teachers in member schools. You cannot use this outstanding instructional programming as part of the planned curriculum without this guide to the title and day/time of broadcast. As a cost-saving device for the station, the Parade of Programs will be put online at the station web site and made password protected, with only school members given the password. A small number of hard copies will also be sent to each member school.
- DVD dubs of missed programs broadcast from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. can be requested from the station. Educators from school members are the only ones who can request dubs from WDSE•WRPT. This very popular benefit is offered at no cost.
- Much of the pre-K-12 instructional programming is now datacasted. Member schools may purchase the datacasting software and antenna for a small fee that turns a dedicated computer into a virtual library of educational resources. This is the closest PBS has come to providing video-on- demand as an educational service. With the special software and antenna (a one-time cost that is separate from the annual membership fee), datacasted instructional programs are downloaded via a digital television broadcast signal into the computer's hard drive. This is a brand new service that lets educators burn downloaded programs and all related resources onto DVDs or for use in school networks. Since this service is delivered through a high-quality digital TV signal, there is no problem with long download times or using Internet capacity and the quality is very high. These are distinct advantages of this outstanding new service.
- Member schools are included in WDSE•WRPT grant projects. This is an important benefit for area schools. Recent past grants include the five-year national TeacherLine grant that resulted in more than 500 completed courses for area teachers and more than 400 earned graduate credits from UMD, all at no cost to either teacher or school; Week-long institutes for exemplary teachers on the writing process, with graduate credit offered, at no cost to either teacher or school; Grants to set up a datacasting model at UMD and area schools, at no cost to either teacher or school. Inclusion in grant-funded projects is an important benefit of school membership.
- Free workshops. The station offers free workshops on a variety of topics. The workshops are given by state-licensed educators. School members are always given the first opportunity to participate in these popular workshops and the demand for participation exceeds station capacity to honor all requests for participation.
School membership with WDSE•WRPT is a sound investment for your school. The station has earned local, regional, and national accolades for its educational outreach. This includes the annual PBS KIDS GO! Writers Contest "Young Writers & Illustrators Contest" for students in grades K-3, had 5,112 young students write and illustrate original stories in 2010 - the largest number of entries in the country for this national contest; the annual high school essay, art, and photography contests offer cash scholarships and a major exhibit to students in grades 9-12 and a huge amount of positive publicity for participating schools; Educational outreach partnerships with UMD, UWS, the Duluth Art Institute, public libraries, Duluth News Tribune and other area newspapers, United Way, Duluth Children's Museum, Iron World, and many other community and civic organizations plus national entities to extend educational opportunities to area students and educators.

Review : | Well, this turned into a waste of time for almost everyone. Perhaps it was an entertaining waste of time, but a waste of time nonetheless. The Trabe seem a little unbelievable, and their plan was doomed to failure from the start - killing the leaders from some of the Kazon sects will only mean that their followers will be out for revenge. I also think it's a bit silly that the Trabe fighter did not immolate the whole conference room, or even the building. It's also a bit silly that they should fire three of their precious torpedoes at one fighter when a phaser shot or two would suffice. Still, the good point is that it was at least an attempt to engage with the other people out there. If Janeway had handled things better, she could have formed a little trading empire on her way back. Still, she we once again see her dogmatic determination to stick to her principals, which completely define her character. Still, this might have been a missed opportunity to change the parameters a little bit and develop the storyline, if perhaps the negotiations were successful. Voyager developed slowly, and stories like this were one of the reasons why. The message is 'stick to what you believe in', and that closes off new possibilities. Perhaps what the Voyager really needs is a cloaking device (illegal, but nobody's going to tell the Romulans any time soon). | ||

Review : | Not entirely brilliant, but not bad either. We're seeing a little tension between Starfleet and Maquis (for once) with both sides questioning their captain, who seems to be pulled this way and that, influenced most by whoever last spoke to her. She was certainly taken in by the Trabe! They at least were convincing, and to be honest it might have been worth accepting the fait accompli and leaving it at that. As usual though, they went out of their way to make Maje Cullah look like a strutting idiot - far too obviously. The Kazon were supposed to be 'Klingons without Kehless', but that's clearly failed, although this episode established a vaguely plausible history for them. OK, odd issues. Firstly, after the ambush, why is the building still there? It was unshielded and under disruptor attack (imagine what an Apache helicopter would have done). Secondly, three photon torpedoes? The city is still there, so the yield was obviously turned down to TFF levels, but why waste them when one phaser shot would do? Not too bad for early Voyager, I suppose. | ||

It's no secret that the Transocean oil spill is among the largest man-made environmental disasters of all time. Given the impact, the word spill itself is a huge understatement. Gusher or torrent or catastrophe would be more accurate. An early estimate of 5,000 barrels leaking per day appears to have been wildly understated. To quote a June 9 update from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Web site, "… BP hopes to ramp up the collection rate from 15,000 to 28,000 barrels per day over the next week." The second-largest petroleum disaster in the U.S., the Exxon Valdez wreck, spilled about 250,000 barrels in total.
Even though BP is far from getting the leak under control, the cleanup efforts have been going on for weeks (almost as long as the oil has been leaking, in fact). We have more than a handful of cleanup measures. We can use skimmers to vacuum it up, absorbents and adsorbents to soak it up, controlled fires to burn it up, and detergents and dispersants to break it up. The effectiveness of each of these depends on the oil's density, the water temperature, weather conditions, and so on.
My particular favorite oil cleaner? Hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB). That's right, bacteria. Considering that petroleum contains compounds known to be toxic, it doesn't seem possible that some bacteria can digest hydrocarbons, but that's what it amounts to. Most fabricators use hydraulic equipment and already know that some types of bacteria and fungi thrive in hydraulic systems. Considering the heat and pressure developed in most hydraulic systems, these are some hardy life forms—hence the need for maintaining the hydraulic system's filtration system and adding a biocide on a regular basis. It turns out that they don't just survive in hydraulic systems; some feed off the hydrocarbons in in hydraulic fluid. In a natural environment, they can digest the components in crude oil.
The Exxon Valdez ran aground in 1989; Prince William Sound is both the site of the wreck and a classroom. What have we learned from that cleanup effort? It's a slow process. Despite our efforts, as well as those of HCB's, some areas in that region will be contaminated for another 10 years.
And the Deepwater Horizon disaster may have already released 50 times as much oil as the Exxon Valdez did.

They all share similiar musical characteristics that did not exist at the time. I mean, yeah Newcastle England is considered the home of NWOBHM but it inspired everything from Brazil's Sepultura, San Francisco's Metallica, New York's Anthrax, and Germany's Kreator in the early 80s.
More metal in Rock Band:
Nu-Metal is a subculture, it has no musical connotations to being similar in any aspects between bands besides playing in a rock structure. You cannot give me a detailed, explanatory on why nu-metal is a genre to me.
It's a subculture (just like many movements).

As of recently my favorite Zeppelin song has become Gallows Pole. Is this weird?
Weve been through this before, here: http://www.rockband.com/forums/showt...hlight=numetal
It is silly to think they are hard rock and are a part of the same genre of bands like Van Halen, AC/DC, and ZZ Top. They are not pure hard rock, pure heavy metal, or pure whatever. They are numetal. I mean, we could argue the lack of similarties and differences in "indie rock" and "alternative" bands too.

Stop being devil's advocate, bro.
Hard Rock has updated itself with the times, it's very apparent in any hard rock band in the 90s and 80s (Fishbone, Faith No More, Helmet, etc.) - very rough rock formula updated to a more 'urban' feel and new approach.
Music evolves over time.
For example. Blues-Rock of today sounds nothing like the Blues-Rock of the 60s.

Hard rock has rap? I mean we discussed how there are modern bands still applying the same style of late 70s and 80s hard rock. There is far less similarity in Airbourne than comparissons between Slipknot and Korn. I mean, if numetal is not a genre because of all the wide musical differentiations between claimed bands than hard rock is less so if Limp Bizkit is lumped in with ZZ Top.
More metal in Rock Band:
Very few nu-metal bands adapt hip-hop to it's influences. Even fewer use rapping. Those bands fall into the rap-rock/rapcore vein of subgenres. So yeah. Nu-Metal is as I've said a billion times; a subculture that encompasses several modernized subgenres.
Also; the Jet, Airbourne, Wolfmother argument; those bands are throwback bands (or "retro" revival in the media) so those aren't in the grand scheme of things the modern-style of hard rock.

Korn, Mushroomhead, Linkin Park, Slipknot, and Limp Bizkit all have hip hop influences. I mean, Slipknot has tried to downplay it lately but they have always had and still do have turntables, even on their latest album. You are going to have to explain the "Very few nu-metal bands adapt hip-hop to it's influences." line because I just named a lot of the major culprits.
I agree that genres change but when they do they usually get a prefix. Look at the bands that came after the original hardcore bands? Post-hardcore. Look at the wave of metal bands that came after 80s thrash? Post-thrash. Look at the wave of pseudo hard rock/metal bands that came after the 80s/early 90s? Numetal.
More metal in Rock Band:
1) Post-Hardcore existed in the 80s; alongside hardcore because as the name implied; it took hardcore and progressed it so far it was somewat unrecognizeable. Notice how post-rock does that to rock? Yeah, bad attempt to use post-hardcore on the post-hardcore fan.
2) Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park began as rap-rock bands! RAP-ROCK. That means they take hip-hop's rapping and maybe some of it's other ensembles into a rock structure and base. Yeah, debunked you there.
3) Mushroomhead, Slipknot and KoRn have really minor and boy do I mean minor, when it comes to hip-hop; as a big hip-hop enthusiast I honestly can say this without much thought. Also; KoRn always wanted to be a Faith No More clone and the others were trying to... well, heck if I know what they were. But hip-hop wasn't a huge basis with them.
4) DSO uses swing jazz in their progressive metal music, yet they aren't "jazz-metal" so that whole one influence makes a genre isn't a good base for your debate.

The Newspaper Question.--- Debate in Continuation.
WEDNESDAY, January 15, 1873.[Morning Session]
Mr. REEVES introduced a bill [H. R. 307] for the relief of Emsley Wilson, declaring the title of the State of Indiana to certain lands to be vested in the said Wilson. (The lot No. 59 West of the State University formerly belonging to the Seminary Tewnship in the County of Monroe.) It was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. BUTTS said the Committee on Temperance have used great care in the examination and preparation of a temperance bill which will now soon be introduced. It was considered best by the Committee that their bill should not be introduced till the second week in the session, when the petitions should have come in and the subject should have been fully considered. It is desirable that the bill which will now be introduced by the gentleman from Tippecanoe (Mr. Hollingsworth) should take the place of Mr. Hollingsworth's bill No. 196, "to prevent the injurious results arising from the use of intoxicating liquors by public officers."
The SPEAKER laid before the House the Senate's Message announcing the refusal of that body to concur in the concurrent resolution of the House to exclude Newspapers.
Mr. WILSON of Ripley. Mr. Speaker, I move that the House adhere to the adoption of the resolution.
Mr. COBB. If we would do anything it must be through a Committee of Conference; but it seems to me that the resolution has now failed.
Mr. SHIRLEY. I do not desire to make any appropriation for newspapers; but if the other branch will, I don't see how we can help it. I do not think it is right, but if the Senate choose to make an appropriation for themselves, the House refusing to concur leaves the responsibility with them. I do not know but we have gone too far in this matter; if they will vote themselves the paper, let them be responsible for their action. I do not want any except what I pay for myself.
Mr. OFFUTT. I was not in my place, the other day when this resolution was passed refusing to pay for papers that might be ordered for the General Assembly, but if I had been I should have voted for it. I hesitated at the time it was introduced whether we would be doing the wisest thing to pass the per diem bill; and I decided both ways before I could determine to vote for it. But upon the explanations of gentlemen, going to show that it would cut off all indirect expenditures of the public money for the General Assembly and stop all perquisites hereafter hearing the careful estimates submitted by the gentleman for Morgan [Mr. Satterwhite] that in the end it would be no additional expense to the State - I finally consented to vote for the bill.
page: 307[View Page 307]But now it has been charged in my county that that bill does not cut off newspapers, But I say here that under no view would I have voted for it, had I not been fully assured that it would cut them off. So far as I am individually concerned, that is the view I entertain on this subject; and I never will vote for an appropriation bill containing an item for newspapers and stamps for the General Assembly. I stand on the import of the per diem bill; and the House having passed it with that idea, we ought in good faith to carry it out.
Mr. RAMSEY. I recollect that about six days ago the House committed itself by a explanatory resolution in reference to that bill - that that was the construction which this House put upon it. We can't act consistently if we go back on that resolution. Hence I can't respect the action of the Senate in refusing to concur in this resolution which has been adopted on the part of the House.
Mr. BUSKIRK. It seems to me that the refusal of the Senate to concur in this resolution is conclusive of this matter so far as the subject is connected with this House and that when we undertake to controle that matter in the Senate we trespass on prerogative. Now it seems to me that the per diem bill can't be made to exclude newspapers by any fair construction. It matters not what gentlemen may have thought about it; the only question of construction is this: does the bill as a matter of law necessarily cut off newspapers from the House and Senate? It seems to me that that question must be answered in the negative. That was my construction of the bill when I voted for it. I understood that it cuts off just what it expressed in the words of the act; stationerythat is paper, pens, ink, pencils and postage stamps; but not newspapers: because they were provided here independently.
Mr. OFFUTT [interposing.] I desire to ask the gentleman from Gibson if he did not hear the calculations made on the floor by the friends of the bill, and whether in those calculations newspapers were not included?
Mr. BUSKIRK. I did: but I am not responsible for the calculations and views of others. I understand that the act cannot be construed to mean what its language does not legally justify. And that is the view of the Senate; and they are entitled to it; that the per diem bill does not include newspapers by any just construction, and if we concede this, by proceeding to insist on this resolution we are trespassing unwarrantably on the privileges of the Senate. And as to what our constituents may say on this subject, we have nothing to do with that. I do not think it would be very wise or very well for us now to be too nice about this matter. Whilst avoiding Scylla on one side we may strike Charybdis on the other. By attempting too much economy even we might bare ourselves to the suspicion that we are playing the part of demagogues in this matter. Now, sir, I did vote, and I would again vote against newspapers in the House; but I would do so independently of anything in the per diem bill; for I do not consent that, by the per diem bill we are bound to vote for the exclusion of newspapers.
Mr. HENDERSON. When the per diem bill was introduced, like the gentleman from Hancock [Mr. Offutt] I also took different sides; but when it was properly explained I voted for it. Now what are rules for interpreting law? In the first place we are told that it is necessary to interrogate the law makers. I was one of the makers of this law; and now is the time for us to be interrogated on this question of interpretation. And I understand that when that bill was passed it was the intention by it to cut off everything in the way of perquisites - newspapers, stamps - everything of that kind.
Mr. BUSKIRK. I understand the rule of interpretation in accordance with the intention of the Legislature to be qualified in this: that you are not to carry the construction beyond the plain meaning of the language used by the Legislature in the enactment of the law.
Mr. HENDERSON. I understand that the first rule of interpretation is the understanding of the law makers; and it was my understanding that the per diem bill should exclude newspapers ; and therefore the contrary must be a strained interpretation to fit the case. My intention was that it should cut off everything, and I am satisfied such was the intention of the majority - that we would be rid of the newspapers - stop the question of perquisites - that eight dollars a day should be sufficent. And now I think this resolution is sufficient to determine what we meant by the eight dollars a day.
Mr. WALKER. I have no disposition to intrude upon the prerogatives of the Senate; but by the resolution of the gentleman from Knox [Mr. Cauthorn] we have said that the eight dollars a day shall include everything; and I think it is proper now that we should admonish the Senate that we have declared our intention in passing that law, and that the Senate should not remain ignorant of it. But if we do not adhere to this resolution - if we recede from it - we have still the specific bill to fall back on; because the Senate is notified of our interpretation of that law ; and if they continue to vote themselves newspapers it is their responsibility. But if we now retract our interpretation it will not be fair toward those whose support of the per diem bill was obtained from that consideration. I think that we should again inform the Senate that it was eight dollars a day and no more; because if the Senate now vote themselves newspapers, and statutes without returning them, the nex page: 308[View Page 308] General Assembly will do the same, and this provision of the law against perquisites will be a dead letter, whilst it must be conceded as just and right; and it is the suggestion of the incoming Governor to pay so much and no more for the public service - that prequisites are wrong in principle.I believe, sir, that it would not be trespassing on the powers of the co-ordinate branch, to notify them that we cannot recede.
Mr. WILSON of REipley. It seems to me that the only objection to this resolution is, that it is immodest in us. But I ask you, sir, if it is not a part of the duty of this House to determine whether members of the General Assembly shall increase their pay or not? I have always been perplexed with this question of increasing our salary by stationery. Now, if we procure newspapers for the people with the peoples money, the beneficence of our action should be equal. But do we furnish all our constituents with newspapers? No, we furnish only some of our particular friends. Then the procuring of these newspapers is just simply increasing our own pay. But these papers come in here wrapped and stamped ; and, however we may regard it, we take all the credit to ourselves, and we say to our constituents who receive the papers: We did it - and forget that they pay for them. It is all wrong in principle, and I am in favor of stopping all these little leaks that are nearly doubling the taxes of the people. For we are paying to-day nearly $300,000 for what is called "stationery" in the Courts and county offices of the State paying this for stationery for men that are no more entitled to it than any private citizens. Sir, we can't defend this action if we turn our backs on the record we made at the last session.
Mr. HELLER. Whilst I voted against taking the newspapers here, I desire to ask the Chair whether this per diem bill is going to cut off the Geological, the Agricultural, and the Brevier Reports?
The SPEAKER. Not at all, sir.
Mr. HELLER. Well now, I ask if newspapers are cut off, and those reports are not but are to be all sent to the people - for it seems to me to cut off the Legislature from receiving them for themselves; so that when a man becomes a member of the Legislature he is no longer on an equality with the private citizens.
Mr. OFFUTT. I understand that these reports are for the people. I do not understand that the Legislature have anything to do with them but as citizens of the State. Neither do I understand that, because a man is in the Legislature he is deprived of his rights as a citizen, but he may accept an Agricultural report as a private citizen.
Mr. HELLER. I ask you, if under the law you can here accept a copy of the Acts or of the Journals?
The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Allen will make his interrogatories in a parliamentary manner.
Mr. HELLER. I interrogate the gentleman only I give him the right to interrogate me. I am here on an equal footing with others on this floor: and when our act does not include these books and papers I claim that we should abide the strict construction of the law; and if we intended to restrict newspapers as to the House, we intended to restrict them as to the Senate. But while I vote against newspapers I still think it is a wrong construction of the law.
Mr. HOLLINGSWORTH. If we concur with the Senate by receding from this resolution we place ourselves in the position of inconsistency. I voted against the per diem bill; but I know that the papers were excluded by it, and it was so understood and so expressed on the floor in order to show that the bill would not add to the general expensiveness of legislation. After that act, and after the adoption of the resolution by which we have construed that act, we cannot consistently recede from this resolution.
Mr. COBB. While I am in favor of adhering to this resolution and while I have commenced the practice of purchasing my own papers and stamps, and while I voted for the resolution construing the per diem bill, I did not do it because I thought it a fair and just construction of the language of the per diem bill; for I insist that it cannot be so construed as to cut off the newspapers here. We do not ourselves so understand the meaning of the term "stationery," as to use it for newspapers, and stamped newspapers at that; because we have all of us received newspapers here, and I am satisfied that not a single man of us had his newspapers and stamps charged up to his account of "stationery." If that had been our understanding of this term at that time, if we had acted in good faith, we would have gone to the Secretary and said to him each one of us, that we have received from the newspaper publishers a certain number of papers, and a certain number of newspapers wrapped and stamped, which are worth so much, and we want these charged to our stationery account. I say then that I voted for these resolutions because they are right; not because they are in the per diem bill. I believe that it's good policy to do this ; and while I am in favor of this resolution as good policy for the government of this House,I think that while we have done well in going thus far, we cannot go to the extent of requiring the Senate to adopt a forced construction of the law. Sir, you may take the deposition of any member of this House or of any gentleman outside, and require him solemnly to give his opinion, his construction of the law, and it would have no particular weight In the case, because the con- page: 309[View Page 309] struction must be according to the import of the language of the law. I am not in favor of making a construction here against that of a co-ordinate branch of the General Assembly. - I think, if we would keep up a proper comity and good faith with the other end of the capitol, we are bound to accept their construction. While I am in favor of this resolution, which it is competent for us to take as governing ourselves; and, while I believe it is right, I am not so extra-conscientious as to say I will not allow anybody else to do what I conceive to be wrong. - Now I hope the House will let this resolution drop; for it is about as near dead as anything can be.
Mr. THAYER. The per diem bill is law. But now if under its provisions we voted a certain amount of "stationery," for the use of the officers of the House, do we not say that in this way we might receive these papers under the law allowing ourselves to vote ourselves stationery? - especially when there is no other law forbiding it? Or, is it not true, that when we pass a law cutting off '"stationery," that it cuts off all perquisites in its train?
Mr.COBB. I think not.
The SPEAKER. That is enough.
Mr. COBB. I do not wish to make a quarrel with the Senate. This resolution as I understand it - the Senate not concurring - it is dead - it has fallen to pieces. It is not a matter for us to consider again. While still - adhering to our construction of yesterday - by coming in here to-day and saying we are in favor of that construction again can't help us any. This as a concurrent resolution is simply dead, because the other branch refuses to concur in it. Let us not be seeking a quarrel with the Senate in advance upon what may become after this a vexatious question; and when that may come up as a just issue it will be time enough to argue this question ; and let us not, in this way, attempt to strengthen our courage for the evil day when it comes.
Mr. WOOLLEN. By unanimous consent of the House I desire to offer a bill supplemental to the per diem bill. ("Consent""consent.") Mr. W. then introduced a bill [H. R. 315] for an act supplemental to the act fixing the per diem of members of the General Assembly, approved December 19, 1872, and providing that no additional perquisites shall be allowed.
[The object (as he explained it) being to provide by law that no appropriation of the money of the State Treasury shall be allowed for newspapers or stamps furnished to members of the General Assemble.] It was passed to the second reading, and referred to a Special Committee appointed by the Speaker, namely: Messrs. Woollen, Wilson of Ripley, and Wood.
So the question was passed over informally for the present.


text: Home Politics Hillary Clinton: 1-Term President? If she runs in 2016 and pledges to serve only four years, will she seal her chances? Strategists weigh in. By: Keli Goff Posted: Dec. 4 2012 12:42 AM 0 Getty Images (The Root) -- There are only two sure things about the next presidential election: Hillary Clinton isn't sure she wants to run for president again, and plenty of people are sure they want her to. According to a poll released shortly after this year's presidential election, Clinton would blow any competition out of the water in the all-important first primary contest in Iowa, with a staggering 58 percent of the vote. So why wouldn't she run? Well, actually, she has several good reasons not to. The first is the one she and her husband repeat most often: namely, that after 20 years in the public eye in one grueling role after another -- from first lady to U.S. senator to presidential candidate to secretary of state -- she actually wants to do things like sleep. Who can blame her? When you compare her life of dodging one diplomatic crisis after another with her husband's life -- filled with high-paying speeches and the occasional TV interview -- whose life sounds like more fun? Then there are the more practical considerations. She will be 69 in four years, and 73 in eight. Though President Reagan was 69 when he took office, it is still an age that may raise eyebrows among some -- including some voters who may not be willing to admit that they view an older woman in more judgmental terms than they do an older man. But perhaps most important of all, the chances that any party will hold on to the White House for a full 16 years are low. This means that if Clinton runs for president in 2016, she'll be running with the knowledge that thanks to eight years of Barack Obama, the likelihood of her being re-elected to a second term as president, should she win, is reduced. So what if Clinton did the unthinkable? What if she announced that she will run for president in 2016, but only for one term? The Appeal of One Term The idea is not entirely laughable, at least not according to various political consultants. "It's a great question," said Michael Goldman, a Boston-based political consultant who worked on the presidential campaigns of Michael Dukakis and Paul Tsongas. "Because there is a sense that if you're really free, you could do everything." Goldman was referring to the "freedom" a president might exhibit in his or her decision-making if he or she is not worried about winning re-election. Basil Smikle, a Democratic strategist who was an aide to then-Sen. Clinton, said, "Hillary will get voters based on who she is and her qualifications, regardless of how many terms she wants to run for." He added, "I think, for the average voter, hearing a candidate come out and say they 'don't care about re-election' and therefore will spend every day of their term doing something that sticks to their moral compass ... most voters want that and want a leader who exhibits that kind of fearlessness."

The Road to Paris part 4
Sector 6 – St Pryve-St Mesmin to Boutigny sur Essonne (93km – ascent 210m)
Shortly after clipping into the pedals, we will be riding through the impressive town of Orleans and right past the front door of its impressive Gothic cathedral. The town will be just starting to awake to its Saturday morning; if you're not too speedy you might be lucky enough to grab a noisette and a fresh croissant. We finally leave the Loire behind us after the village of Checy and continue to head north towards our destination in Paris. Back on quiet roads again, we initially trace the Canal d'Orleans before heading through the Orleans National Forest and back amongst the open fields. Pray that the wind isn't blowing at this stage or you'll be easily transported to the bleak roads of West Flanders. You can draw solace however from the fact that we're on the homeward stretch. The sleepy town of Pithivers is another chance for a morning coffee before tackling another long flat section towards Malesherbes. Paris starts to feel within reach as we descend into the Essonne valley and start to negotiate a succession of dormitory towns which mark the Paris commuter belt.
Sector 7 – Boutigny sur Essonne to Paris (Velodrome de Vincennes) (62km – ascent 200m)
With the whole team united you can treat this last sector as your Champs Elysees. The first 25km are our last taste of rural France before tackling the urbanisme of Paris. There's an occasional little climb to test the weary legs, but on the whole it's a chance to get the team united in one final effort. The end will truly be in sight as you enter the Bois de Vincennes and ride the final 4km alongside Paris' weekend warriors out running and cycling. As you swing right into the ground of the velodrome you and your team will have achieved something very unique; you'll have conquered the infamous Paris – Bordeaux.
