Chicago native and filmmaker Marc Fienberg at the movies
Marc Fienberg always had a close friendship with his grandpa Joe.
Years after Joe lost his wife—Marc's grandmother—of 54 years, Joe came to his grandson for advice on how to start dating again. Both men were living in Chicago at the time, Marc in Lincoln Park and his grandfather in a nearby retirement community. They would hang out with the ladies at Joe's complex and Marc would offer his grandpa pointers.
Then, Marc's advice paid off. "I kissed a woman last week," Joe confided to his grandson. "Watching an 89-year-old man experience all the uncertainty, anxiety, and insecurity of a young schoolboy—when to call her, what to say, whether to ask her out—was moving and uplifting," Marc recalls.
Grandpa Joe passed away three years ago, but Marc—a Jewish filmmaker originally from the Chicago area—keeps his memory alive in his new film, "Play The Game," (Story Films) which hits Chicago-area theaters on Friday, Aug. 28. Written, directed, and produced by Marc, the movie is his first feature film, although he has produced short films in the past. Loosely based on Marc's grandfather, the movie tells the story of David (Paul Campbell), who teaches his dating tricks to his lonely widowed grandfather Joe, played by Andy Griffith, who was Marc's grandfather's favorite actor.
At the same time, David tries to "play the game" and use his own dating techniques to attract Julie (Marla Sokoloff), the woman of his dreams. For David, the dating game fails, but the same tricks transform Grandpa Joe into the Don Juan of his retirement community. The movie also stars two famous TV moms, Doris Roberts, from "Everybody Loves Raymond," and Liz Sheridan, from "Seinfeld."
Marc—who grew up in Lincolnwood and Skokie and now lives in Los Angeles with his wife and four children all under age five—wasn't always planning on a film career. In fact, he worked in the business world, most recently at an Internet start-up company in Los Angeles until two years ago. Then, he took what he recognizes as a risky leap into filmmaking. At the same time, he exercised his business acumen and connections from his business school, Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, to raise money for the movie, which proved no easy task.
In addition to his business network, Marc used his connections in the Jewish world to get the film off the ground. He traveled around the country lecturing to Jewish organizations to spread the word about his film. The movie has, in particular, resonated with seniors. One such Florida senior, a 75-year-old woman named Florence, embraced the film so much that she spent three weeks visiting temples, retirement communities, and condos drumming up support for it. Marc credits Florence with drawing more than 3,000 people into theaters to see the film!
Returning home to Chicago in July to promote his movie, Marc spoke with Oy!Chicago about his grandpa Joe, switching careers, and playing the dating game.
In what way is Grandpa Joe in the movie based on your grandfather? Some of the best lines and scenes [in the movie] came straight out of his mouth and life. He was living in Florida with my grandma and my grandmother died. Then, he came to Chicago so we could take care of him. For four years, he was down in the dumps, and then, overnight, he turned around and met a woman. He whispered to me, "I met a woman." He started telling me the details. At first, I was a little bit "TMI." But then I realized this was so nice to hear that an 89-year-old-guy can get back into it and can find literally a purpose for waking up in the morning. Think about it—you go from your only friend, your best friend, your wife—for 54 years and then overnight she's gone and he realizes he doesn't really have that many other friends, so you go from everything to nothing, and I could see how it sucks the life out of you. And then he had a reason to get back into it.
Paul Campbell (David) and Andy Griffith (Grandpa Joe) in "Play the Game"
How much of David, the ladies' man in the movie, is based on you? I would love to say, "I'm as suave and debonair as this ladies' man." The reality of it—as you can ask several women in the Chicagoland area that know me from my single days—is I was not as suave and debonair. I think the character is based more on the guy I hoped I could be one day. No, I was not quite the ladies' man, but my friends and I did try all those tricks. They worked for my friends, just not for me. There was a woman I dated in college that broke up with me, who I never stopped thinking about. I would constantly call her. Four years later, I couldn't stop thinking about her. I would come up with excuses to go meet her. I would make up stories why I ran into her and it never worked out. Finally, seven years later, I called her out of the blue and put it all on the line. I said I'm still thinking about you and I'm not making up excuses to see you. Let's date again and, sure enough, that's when it happened. We got engaged and married and have four kids now. I took one of the messages of the movie and it worked for me in my own life.
Do you recommend that single people 'play the game?' I leave that to the viewer of the movie. It's definitely not the Hollywood ending that people would expect. It's a romantic comedy, so you sort of have an idea of who is going to end up with whom, but you're completely surprised as to how they end up together and what the message of the movie is. It was important for me not to have the typical Hollywood ending that says "Just be honest with one another and good things will happen." That's nice but we all know that's not the way the world works. I wanted to be very true to life in the message and the theme of my movie.
Marla Sokoloff (Julie) and Paul Campbell (David) in "Play the Game"
Do these rules work on single Jews? These rules are particularly effective with Jewish women and men because it plays on the stereotypical, but somewhat true Jewish stereotypes: We probably have a little more guilt and a little more neurosis than the average group of people.
How are you raising your children Jewishly? I had a strong culturally Jewish upbringing. I'm actually raising my four children more religious than I was. They know more much more about Judaism at 5 years old than my wife knows today. We want to send them to a Jewish preschool.
Was making a career switch to showbiz worth it? I sit in a movie theater with 350 strangers and listen to the first joke and hear exploding laughter and hear them affected by my film. We showed it in a retirement community, and were expecting 200 people, but got 3,500 people instead. Afterwards, a 92-year-old guy comes up to me and says, "This movie could have been made about me. I want to introduce you to my 87-year-old girlfriend. We've been dating for seven years. We go out dancing and this movie is about us. This has given me confidence…" That's why I got into this business, what made it all worth it.
"Attention shoppers" A college shopping spree
By Jenna Cohen
Attention shoppers: our store will close in 15 minutes. Please make your final selections and come check out at the register. The thing is, I've only just begun to review my choices. The cart is filled with so many boxes; I can't even be sure what's in each of them. Do I want the school that's having a special on foreign study, or the one with the mouth-watering choir that caught my eye?
Attention shoppers: The store is closing in 15 minutes. Blood pounds in my ears and the aisle begins to close in on me. So many choices, so little time. How do you choose between peanut butter and chocolate when Reeses isn't an option?
Attention shoppers: The store is closing in 10 minutes. Crap! Wait; this one could be good. Gosh, I hope I have a coupon for it. Which will best fit my budget? Or is this line cash only?
Attention Shoppers: 5 minutes, 5 minutes 'til closing. Very bad. Just pick something! Do I want small liberal arts college with alfredo sauce or big state school with marinara? This one costs so much more, but it's exactly what I'm craving. But, what if it's too filling? I want to save room for dessert. Mmmm. Grad school a la mode.
Thank you for shopping with us today. Please remember all sales are final.
"Crap. Where are my tums?" Or helping your daughter search for the perfect college
By Linda Haase
On the morning of the SAT, I thought I was going to puke. The thought of the math section alone was enough to give me hives.
Imagine the misery if I were the one who'd actually had to take it.
I'm the mom of a high school senior, which means our household is stuck on the college channel. We get a daily deluge of brochures and e-mails from suitor schools, SAT prep specialists and for-hire college counselors, punctuated by invitations to compete in teen beauty pageants. A well-thumbed copy of Colleges That Change Lives sits on my nightstand, and my refrigerator is festooned with news clippings about financial aid. I have no fewer than six colleges bookmarked on my computer.
I've spent exponentially more time planning for Jenna's college experience than I did for my own, and possibly more time than I actually spent in college.
In a manila file somewhere, I actually have an Excel spread sheet comparing various schools' attributes: their size, location, ranking in US News & World Report, opportunities for Jewish life, and tuition lined up in neat columns.
I did not give this kind of careful consideration to my husband's marriage proposal, or to the purchase of our first home.
In my defense, the house didn't cost as much as this degree will.
The nightmare began in 8th grade, when high school class selections were made. The school district provided comparison charts of differing college admissions requirements along with their high school course catalogue. The message was clear: if I fucked up in selecting my 14-year-old's science class, I could keep her from getting into Harvard.
I understand that there are worse things than Jenna not getting into the school of her choice. For example, she could get into the college of her dreams and then have them offer her no financial aid whatsoever.
Crap. Where are my Tums?
On the one hand, I want Jenna to have the opportunity to soar, to take a path that is worthy of her incredible spirit and intellect, and I don't want her impeded by my limitations. Hell, I still want her to believe she could be President.
But I also want to protect her from this nonsense, from teachers who urged her as a freshman to consider activities that'd "look good" on her college applications, when all she wanted to do was figure out her locker combination; from relatives who ask her about college every time they see her; from neighbors lobbying for her to visit their alma mater.
My finest moment came when I declined to enroll her in a weekly SAT prep class, because I felt she should be spending her junior year in high school being a junior in high school.
I wish I could say that no, ever since then I haven't been obsessing about whether I did the right thing.
Genetic Counselor Michelle Gilats talks with a participant at a genetic testing session
We are born with secrets. And our bodies are very effective at hiding them from us for generations.
Until April, my body had secrets, too. But thanks to four blood samples, I now know much more about my genes than I ever dreamed about.
Ashkenazi Jews like me might carry genetic mutations that cause everything from Tay-Sachs to cystic fibrosis to the funny-sounding maple syrup urine disease. The fact that no one in my family has manifested any symptoms doesn't mean that they aren't carriers. In fact, 11 different disorders are about 20 to 100 times (depending on the mutation) more common among Azhkenazi Jews than the general population. If you are Sephardic, you're not off the hook just yet: A host of mutations might have found its way into your family, too.
Armed with this knowledge, I signed up for a genetic testing session through the Chicago Center for Jewish Genetic Disorders. The Center provides testing for mutations leading to nine most common disorders, including ones that cause the lungs to stop functioning (cystic fibrosis) or rapid progressive deterioration of the brain and the nervous system (Tay-Sachs) or a predisposition to cancer (Bloom's syndrome). Each of us could be a carrier of these and not even know it. And even if both parents are carriers, the chance of having an affected offspring is 25 percent, according to laws of Mendelian inheritance.
"One of the benefits of the testing is that you can be prepared for the risk you might have," says Rachel Sacks, the community outreach coordinator at the Center. "You can choose different options, be prepared for the birth of an affected child. If you find out that your risk has been greatly reduced, it can be big relief for people as they are deciding when to have children."
As my husband and I walked into the social hall at Chicago Sinai Congregation in late April, we didn't know what to expect. We were among the first and so were given an early slot for the consultation with a genetic counselor and the visit to certified nurses from Children's Memorial, who would be drawing our blood samples. The room slowly filled up: Most attendees were in their twenties and thirties; some were with partners, others had come alone. At our table sat a woman in her late 20s with her non-Jewish fiancé; two lawyers in their late 30s; and two graduate students.
"When the program began in 2002, it was geared toward college students," Sacks says. "Since then, we've found a higher demand among young professionals and have shifted focus. We still welcome college students and have a student rate, though. Most people who attend tend to be about one to five years from having children, and so among students we mostly see graduate students."
Following dinner, Genetic Counselor Michelle Gilats gave us a mini lesson in genetics, explaining the dominant characteristics of each disease and the process of inheritance. Then, each person or couple briefly met with Michelle or another genetic counselor and walked on to the nurses, who drew four small vials of blood. The blood was sent to a private lab in New York, which works with not-for-profit centers like the ones in Chicago and Arizona. At $90 per person, the screening is heavily subsidized, reducing what could be a $3,000 bill.
After that evening in April, I promptly forgot about the whole thing. Although my husband and I have been married for almost three years, we've barely broached the subject of kids. It's just the two of us – and that's fine with us for now. Every time our parents ask us about future grandchildren, we tell them 'we are still practicing.'
For others, genetic testing is an integral part of making reproductive decisions. One result could completely alter a couple's plan: discovering that they are both carriers of the same mutation.
"Surprisingly, of the couples we've screened together, we haven't had that happen yet," Sacks says. "Still, with technology we have today, carrier couples have a lot of options."
These options can range from prenatal and newborn testing to forgoing having biological children to adoption. Another option is preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which was pioneered by Chicago scientist Yury Verlinsky and involves testing embryos.
After not thinking about the whole thing for eight weeks, I got a call in late June from the Center's genetic counselor telling me that yet another of my body's little mysteries was solved. Turns out, my husband and I are perfectly compatible—even on the genetic level!
If you want to delve into your genetic mysteries, the Center offers four screenings a year. All slots for the Sept. 1 and Dec. 8 screenings are filled, but the Center will hold more sessions in March and May 2010. Contact Taryn Brickman at the Center at email@example.com or 312-357-4988 for more info.
South America has a rich Jewish history, one that most Jews outside of Latin America know little about. This spring, I traveled to South America to learn about the Jewish communities of two countries, Uruguay and Argentina, on a media mission organized by ORT America.
In addition to making some new Jewish friends in Uruguay and Argentina, I got to eat some world-famous Argentine (kosher) steak, take in a Tango show, and brush up on my college Spanish…Salud!
Pictured is Cindy Russo (right), a 16-year-old student at an ORT technical high school's Belgrano campus in Buenos Aires, with her best friend, Michelle, taken on their recent March of the Living trip to Israel.
Cindy Russo, age 16, attends ORT's Belgrano campus, one of the two ORT technical high schools in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Students choose a concentration after three years of school, with choices from mass media to electronics to music. Russo--one of more than 4,000 students who attend the schools--has selected the management track and is interested in furthering her studies in business when she graduates next year. She loves the combination of choosing an area of interest and simultaneously getting a strong Jewish education. Russo recently returned from Israel, earning the trip as part of an incentive program for students with high grades.
Buenos Aires is home to 180,000 Jews, the largest Jewish community in Latin America and the seventh largest in the world. The country has a tumultuous Jewish history. Back when the Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, they began settling and assimilating into Argentina during the first wave of Jewish immigration to the country. Centuries later, after World War II, President Juan Peron rose to power and allowed the country to become a haven for Nazi war criminals.
It takes two to tango at Buenos Aires dance club, Madero Tango.
In the 1990s, Argentina's Jewish community suffered twin terrorist attacks. First, in 1992, the Israeli Embassy was bombed, killing 32 people. Then, two years later, the Jewish community headquarters—the AMIA building—was bombed, killing 85 people and wounding several hundred others in the deadliest bombing in Argentina's history. Authorities have yet to solve either bombing case but, three years ago, Argentine prosecutors formerly accused the government of Iran of orchestrating the AMIA bombing through the Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah.
Then, in 2001, Argentina's economy collapsed, devastating the Jewish community's strong middle class, plunging many Jews into poverty for the first time. Argentina's economy had since somewhat rebounded in recent years, but then declined again in this past year's global economic crisis.
Guillermo Borger is the president of AMIA, which offers the largest job-finding network in Argentina, aiding both Jews and non-Jews alike. He said that AMIA strove to help the decimated middle class during the economic collapse.
"It was hard to find the people [who needed our help] because they were ashamed," he explained. "They were people who didn't previously have needs."
On our tour, we visited the AMIA building, which was reconstructed after the bombing. Today, the building has tight security and features a memorial to the many bombing victims in its entrance. "[We knew] life would come again, so we decided to rebuild," said Aldo Donzis, president of DAIA, the political representation of the Argentine Jewish community, which represents 15 Jewish institutions, tracks anti-Semitism and other forms of discrimination, and is housed in the AMIA building.
Jewish representatives in Argentina, as well as across Latin America, fear the growing ties between Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The friendship between the two anti-Semitic leaders has helped Iran and Muslim fundamentalists penetrate Latin America in recent years.
"This relationship has created more insecurity, not just in Argentina but in all of South America," said Donzis. "Chavez opened the door in Latin America so that they can come here without being investigated."
Anti-Semitism strikes in the daily lives of Argentine Jews, according to Donzis, but DAIA strives to combat it. He referred to a recent soccer game in Argentina, where the crowd sang a chant against Jews; the soccer referee didn't understand why the chant was inappropriate. DAIA later signed an agreement with the Argentine Soccer Association to teach against the evils of anti-Semitism during referee training.
While the Jewish community of Argentina faces challenges each day, 16-year-old Russo explains what she loves about being a Jewish Argentine teenager.
"Luckily, in Buenos Aires, we have a pretty big community which includes many Jewish schools, clubs, and many many synagogues," she said. "Actually it is really good because at all these places, you end up knowing almost the whole community, because you have a cousin in common, or just friends in common. It makes me proud to know that I am part of the Jewish minority in my country."
ORT was founded in Tzarist Russia in 1880 to teach impoverished Jewish Russians skills needed at that time. Today, ORT students are trained in technical skills such as computers, telecommunications, robotics, and nanotechnology at technical schools around the world. ORT America will host a solidarity mission to Argentina and Uruguay from Nov. 9-15.Visit www.ortamerica.org/missions or call 1-(800)-519-2678, ext. 360.

La Gran Terraza - University of San Diego
Online Reservations
A very surprising find, with good food and fine ambience at good prices.
We went this time specifically for the prime rib buffet, but we have been for Sunday brunch, too. It's a nice place with good food and friendly staff. Great view. If you find yourself on the campus of USD for sure check it out.
Lovely and elegant setting without being stuffy. Innovative ways with vegetables and great service!
Easter brunch was delicious. There were three of us and the table was too small. Also, I enjoyed last years dessert table more than the cupcakes this year. The rest of the food was delicious. Servers were very polite and pleasant. It was a little difficult to get refills on drinks.
Mother's Day was a beautiful, sunny day for brunch at La Gran Terraza. We were seated in the dining room; however, you could have been seated outdoors, or in another beautiful room that looked out over the valley. There were many food options for both the adults and children. Omelets customized to your desires, as well as just about anything else that you wanted. The kids had their own area with "kid" favorites. All loved the great choice of desserts, especially the chocolate fountain! Price was very reasonable.
I made my reservation a few weeks prior, and was a bit dissipointed that we not not able to get into the main dinning area, but we were able to get a window seat, the personal were very kind in helping me! My parents, whom are in their 80's ate everything on their plates, they truly enjoyed the food. All of us found everything to be beautiful! The food was wonderful and the desserts yummie and lovely! My mother enjoyed herself, and one more thing, my mother has Alzheimer's, so for us, her family it was a joy to see her so engaged and enjoy the moment in time and to eat well, made us all happy!
The atmosphere was delightful. It was our first time here and the perfect choice to take Mom during her visit. The campus is beautiful and our table on the patio overlooked the hillside and onto Mission Bay. The wait staff was very attentive even on such a busy day. They made sure the umbrellas were positioned for our maximum comfort as it was a warm and sunny day. The food selection was good. My favorites were the made to order omlettes, the waffle bar with fresh fruit, King Crab legs, and the chocolate fountain on the desert table. The complimentary valet parking was definitely a nice touch. I will go back.
We ate here for Mother's Day with 11 guests and had a wonderful time! The brunch had a good selection for carnivores and vegetarians. The waiter was a college student and did and excellent job keeping us comfortable. We sat on the outside patio with views of the bay and canyon-lovely! The interior is nicely decorated and very comfortable. We will definitely return for lunch or dinner.
For Mother's Day, they did it absolutely right! We drove up and the free valet took our car and made getting inside simple. They seated us right away on the outside patio in the warm sun with a perfect view. They had shades if you wanted them, we went half and half. The food was AMAZING....fresh crab, shrimp and salmon along with the usual brunch goodies. Zero complaints on the food (they even had a dessert area with a chocolate fountain). The service was ok....our server was lost the majority of the time, but the assistant outside was on it and made up for the server's shortcomings. When we left, there was a photographer providing free, instant family photos to cap off a perfect meal. I had never been there before, but WILL BE BACK
I returned to this restaurant on last Wednesday to try their Prime Rib Buffet. I was pleasantly surprised at the excellent quality of the side dishes offered at the buffet, including wild salmon for those who do not eat red meat. Once again, the wine list and service were superb. The prime rib, unfortunately, was a bit fat, but amenable to cutting, and the desserts, although good, were not up to the quality of selections available on my prior visit.
Delicious prime rib and salmon with mustard sauce along with healthy fresh fruit and veggies, as well as flan and dark chocolate fro dessert made this a memorable birthday celebration. The views of the Bay are spectacular and the wait staff is attentive and friendly. All of this for $20 per person made it a great bargain, too.
Our family ate at La Gran Terraza after Graduation. It was a wonderful choice! I highly recommend this as a Post-Graduation celebration!
The manager Chris was extremely helpful with our situation. We were seated outside and had a fabulous graduation brunch. We normally do not prefer buffet's but this was not a typical buffet. The view was spectacular and the food was fresh with many options. Overall a memorable experience for our family and graduate.
It's a gem! Great location...great views...great, healthy food...friendly wait staff...priced just right...and free valet parking at lunch!!! Whoever heard of such a thing in San Diego?
Our family thoroughly enjoyed having brunch at La Gran Terraza for Fathers Day. I have been to this restaurant a few times and the service is always impeccable. The dining room is quite elegant with a great view. I have had the lunch buffet and ordered off the menu and would recommend both. The menu is not extensive but offers choices of beef, chicken, vegetarian dishes, and seafood. The salmon was excellently prepared. Dining here feels all the more special since La Gran Terraza is located on the beautiful campus of USD.
We went to this restaurant for Mother's Day and Father's Day brunch this year and both times everything was amazing. The service is excellent and the servers are attentive but do not overly hang around your table. The décor for each event was amazing. The Mother's Day decorations were different than the Father's Day and so was the food which made it fun Very easy to park. This is my Alma Mater and I love coming back whenever I can.
La Gran Terraza has one of the best buffets I have ever had. Their food is fresh and delicious and the service was outstanding. It was a pleasant surprise to see the fresh crab on the buffet. This a is a wonderful place to have lunch with friends. I appreciate the valet parking and the great choice of small desserts.
Nice and Great view, well balance buffet menu, clean place, affordable price.
The buffet was excellent with a good variety of creative salad and side dish choices, including wonderful desserts. Excellent service in a comfortable and attractive setting. Student musicians performed while we were there, which was very enjoyable.
Going to lunch is always a treat. We enjoy it especially as a group
Nice touch with the complimentary Chamber Music this week too! Great farm to table and healthful choices.
great place to meet with friends and enjoy good food and nice atmosphere.
We love this restaurant. We try to take out of town guests here once during their visit. The food is always prepared wonderfully and you can't beat the service. I never eat the lunch buffet because it looks like too much food, but for those of you who like buffets, this one looks wonderful. And with the valet parking, it is even good for us old folks.
Love this restaurant and send all my friends here. We always enjoy going
I have been to La Gran Terraza three times this summer and it has never disappointed. The food is fabulous and the menu was never the same. I recommend the buffet since that is the only thing I have ever had there. There is always a unique and fabulous soup and two meats and various fruit, vegetable and leaf salads the pairing of which are unusual and flavorful. A drink comes with the meal as well as a choice of at least 4 wonderful desserts. After the first lunch, I took a relative and then a friend who enjoys good, healthy, fresh food to lunch. They both were extremely pleased with their meal!
Always an enjoyable experience dining at this lovely restaurant. The food on the buffet is delicious and very creative offering a variety of tastes for the pallet. Servers are very attentive to your every need. I have come with 7-8 people several times and whether they enjoyed the buffet or ordered off the menu....everyone left very pleased with their dining experience.
LGT is a gem, hidden away in the back of the main administration building of University of San Diego. It's a good thing we had reservations as the seating was filled. It's a beautiful restaurant, with excellent views, inside/outside dining, great decor, and many details that elevate the place to a fine dining venue. There's a buffet plus a short menu (it all changes daily). I've eaten lunch there twice, and feel that the food compares well with acknowledged fine dining back east. Service was exemplary, personal, and entertaining. In San Diego, I eat lunch at Harry's, Mr A's, Valencia, Roppongi, George's, etc. LGT is a step above.
Just an overall lovely place to dine. A gem in the neighborhood. Found it accidently and have been back many times and mentioned it to friends, who have also tried it.
I frequent La Gran at least 2-3 times a month. I thoroughly enjoy it each time I dine there.
I am Alumni and proud of being able to recommend such a wonderful 5 star restaurant. I have bad knees and I do wish Valet service at night would have been available, plus places to park for the Restaurant are CONFUSING AT BEST.
Interestingly located within the San Diego college campus, dining here is an experience to experience. There's a spectacular view of the mountains and the city from almost any seat in the place. The food was delicious. Very nice presentation. The service was very good as well. The wine just added to the high level experience. There were 11 of us who dined together and everyone enjoyed their experience and asked me how I found such a gem from 3,000 miles away! The restaurant's online description although very good does not do justice to this one of a kind dining. I highly recommend dining here.
My husband and I was there for lunch last Thursday during restaurant week. We had lunch buffet and were very impressed with the quality of food.. The service was great. Our server, Louise was very warm, attendative and friendly. Overall it's a great experience. We will definitely go again.
For the most part the food and presentation was very good. The service was spotty in regards to replenishing water and bread. We found the sashimi appetizers to be excellent, however, the duck entree was cooked more than the recommended medium rare and was very salty which detracted from other flavors. With this said we will try it again.
Several friends go to La GranTerraza together for each birthday. It is the place of choice because it is so wonderful. There are 7 of us and we so look forward to another persons birthday to go to this restaurant. We usually go for the brunch buffet and it is always creative, healthful and a wonderful surprise. The dessert table features several delicious offerings. The staff is very friendly, helpful and fun. Some of us go at other times as well - not just for a birthday.
Service is excellent. Food is pretty good, the menu is better than the weekly buffet.
Lovely Mission style building. We were seated next to the huge window with a distant view of Mission Bay and spacious canyons. The salads were unusual and delicious. The desserts are to die for.
La Gran Terraza is tops! Have previously dined there for dinner no complaints only compliments. This was my first time for lunch when service was even better than dinner which I thought couldn't be bettered.The lunch buffet was delicious with a good variety. Desserts were nicely presented and yummy. One again no complaints only compliments. My three friends had not been there before and loved everything about it. The cucumber lemonade was so refreshing and tasty.
La Gran Terrazza was a wonderful find for my husband and I. As we were hiking in the San Diego Valleys and enjoying the University of San Diego campus at the trail head, we noticed La Gran Terrazza and had our first of many delicious, diverse, creative lunches. It is reasonably priced and a real treat.
Many vegetarian and health conscience items available on the luncheon buffet; or one can choose a traditional lunch of salads, chicken or fish always avaiable in lunch size portions as well. The food items follow the seasons and the fresh items available at that time. The beef braised short ribs on the buffet were the best in town! Ask for a guest parking pass at the gate. Many times a valet is available for lunch--free!
We went for homecoming event. We choose La Gran Terraza for the relaxing atmosphere before the weekend event.
We went for brunch during homecoming weekend. We sat on the patio with gorgeous view. Excellent brunch with typical fare of french toast, waffles, bacon etc as well as omelette bar. crab legs, shrimp, and carving board meats. Beautiful display of deserts! Very enjoyable experience. We will definitely try it again for brunch or dinner when we are back to visit our son at college there.
La Gan Terraza has excellent food, excellent service, and is a wonderful spot for a lunch meeting where you would like to be able to talk with some colleagues and actually get something done over lunch. I've also been there for dinner, and they have an elegant atmosphere, with the same excellent food and service. Since it is situated in a University parking can be a challenge, but the valet parking will take care of that. Be prepared to use the valet parking and enjoy the restaurant.
Excellent food and service! A little pricey which will keep me from going there often.
The server was excellent--always there when you wanted something but not obtrusive. Very friendly and relaxed.
There is a comfortable, relaxed feeling about the restaurant. Perhaps it is the view or the wait staff. Most likely both. The lunch buffet is always special. There are many choices and all tasty. i have never felt rushed even when most seats were taken.
The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, the view was spectacular, and the place was gorgeous.
...and when price is considered, there simply is no greater value in the local market. It's a terrific lunch spot, run by a great team and managed by pros. But when talking "restaurant", the first criterion is the food - and LGT serves a superb buffet plus a short menu (changes weekly) of specialty items - prepared perfectly and presented beautifully.
Excellent food: excellent presentation and great variety.
Wonderful meal. Our Server Jeannie was outstanding! We work at a nearby elementary school and this is our dinner treat on Prime Rib Wednesdays! Very nice experience. W are going back on the 18th of December.
It's clearly among San Diego's finest dining spots, yet is located in the administration building of University of San Diego. What a curious situation! But despite the (typical) campus parking problem. this restaurant provides free (tips ok) valet service. Food is not only excellent, the presentation makes it even more interesting. The menu offers about a dozen choices, and the buffet provides two more. But the buffet changes daily, and the menu is a weekly thing. Desserts range from excellent to spectacular! Service was good, but the restaurant was fully jammed by holiday events, so there were occasional delays. Ambience? Well, From my chair I could see the Pacific, surrounding hillsides, and San Diego's patented Winter Blue Skies.

COUGAR, leading German PC case and power supply brand, reveals a preview of their entry into the high-end gaming keyboard market. As COUGAR have themselves already well-positioned as first choice for games when it comes to top-notch cases, PC power supplies and ventilation solutions, they are now reaching out into the even more hands-on and all-decisive keyboard segment. For their debut model they have chosen nothing less than Cherry Red mechanical switches as very basis. In doing so, the COUGAR ATTACK offers leading reaction sensitivity even by low impress force. Each key is LED-backlit, and the light can be changed to individual preferences. In the current development stage those colors will probably be white, black, blue and red. Bundled key-caps and an included key-puller allow the user to individually highlight those keys he is most dependent upon in his individual game-play. Furthermore, the COUGAR ATTACKS gives users the option to lock most of the keys while self-defining which ones to remain active for current use. Keys are Key With the thoughtful G-key design, you don't have to worry about getting kicked out of the game by accidentally hitting the Windows key anymore. The 8 Macro keys let you easily access most frequently used functions or access and execute more than a single key command at a time. The multimedia keys round it further up, by controlling all of your music volume with the easy access media controls. Hardware at Ease By implementing gold-plated USB connectors, transmission performance is effectively increased and more efficient resulting in the elimination of delays. Four non-slip rubbers underneath the keyboard warrant for steady usage even in high-action situations, and the removable braided USB cables provide for easy cable-management, but are also a safety feature in case you get just a tiny bit to violent with your keyboard and would potentially rip out the cables, now you just plug them back in. If all of this isn't quite enough information for you learn hands-on and in-depth about the COUGAR ATTACK mechanical keyboard in this video. Furthermore you will get a sneak-peek of COUGAR's first 80 Plus Platinum power supply, the PTX offers 94% power efficiency.
One thing I like about cougar is that they make good stuff, but the price is lower too. Like my cougar psu was $80 cheaper than the other 850w gold psu's, before rebate.
Love their fans and really like that keyboard but dam gotta hate that video.. Made me think of the TANNOY speakers of today designed in the UK and built else were and one thing for sure TANNOY are not made even 1/2 as good as they were when they were UK made.
I like those keyboards but too bad since I recently purchased a Razer Marauder keyboard (the best keyboard I bought so far).
Is it a mechanical keyboard? If its cherry brown or clear 10-keyless keyboard with fully adjustable led backlighting, here is my visa.
It's a 104-key with Cherry MX Reds. Who the hell decided that Reds are the gaming switches, anyway? They're awful.
Only 6 key roll-over? thats fail! That keyboard is the same as mine but with an extra row of top keys and use cherry reds where mine uses cherry browns and has full N key roll-over.

Oh my wow! It's been like a year or two since I've been on here. I'm not sure how many years but I know it feels like forever! I don't know what happened, I just left here and didn't remember it till recently and I was like, wow! I didn't realize how much I've missed it till now. For anyone who remembers me, I'm sorry for leaving! I can't remember what happened or why but I'm glad I'm back. I've changed a lot since my last time being here and I'm sure you'll notice. For those who don't know me... hi! I'm Wolfie. My passion varies from modeling/acting and baking. Odd combination, yeah. I'm head over heels for roleplaying and writing and reading. I've been through a lot and after soul searching, I'm finally someone who I enjoy and love and I feel so much like myself.
I don't wanna ramble like I already have so hi everyone!

Syracuse Police are investigating two late night shootings.
The first occurred shortly after 10:30 P.M. Police say shots were fired in the parking lot of the Middle Eastern Market on 1919 S. State St.
Witnesses say two suspects were firing shots at each other amidst a large crowd in the parking lot.
Police say no one was hit but a 1996 Honda Accord was struck several times by gunfire.
Police describe the two suspects as black males who were wearing dark hooded sweatshirts, blue jeans and black winter hats at the time of the shooting.
The second shooting happened just before 1 A.M. at the Food King Market on 500 Oakwood Ave.
Police say 22 year-old Jaycee Floyd was shot in the foot as he was leaving the market and took himself to University Hospital.
Authorities say Floyd could not identify the shooter.
Anyone with information about either of these shootings is asked to call Syracuse Police at 442-5222.

A year ago, Kentucky-based Urban Active was bought by California-based LA Fitness.
A class action lawsuit involving Urban Active and its members has been settled after more than two years of litigation and months of negotiation, according to a filing in federal court in Columbus.
The lawsuit alleged problems with sales, servicing and billing practices.
More than 606,000 former members are eligible for the settlement, and the total settlement could exceed $19 million. Urban Active owner Global Fitness Holdings continues to deny any wrongdoing but has agreed to the terms of the settlement.
Among the individual payments due to former members: Those who signed a contract with Urban Active are eligible for a $5 payment; those who paid a $15 facility improvement fee or maintenance fee will get $20; those who canceled a gym membership contract will get $20; those who canceled a personal training contract get $30.
A notice on how to file a claim was mailed to members this week. Additional information and claim forms are also available at www.UrbanActiveLawsuit.com.
A hearing on the fairness of the settlement is scheduled for February.
A year ago, Kentucky-based Urban Active was bought by California-based LA Fitness. Urban Active had 36 locations in all, in Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

Women's History Month-Meet Artist Margarete Bagshaw
We all know the saying "like mother, like daughter" but for third-generation Pueblo artist Margarete Bagshaw the phrase may as well be "like mother, like daughter, like grand daughter." Following in the footsteps of her mother, Helen Hardin (1943-1984), and grandmother, Pablita Velarde (1918-2006), Bagshaw is part of a multi-generational female painting dynasty. Born in New Mexico, Bagshaw grew up surrounded by her mother and grandmother's artwork, though she didn't start producing her own works until the 1990s. Her family's legacy of artwork can be viewed exclusively at Golden Dawn Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
This Saturday, March 12, Bagshaw will be speaking about her work and participation in the National Museum of the American Indian's exhibition, Vantage Point: The Contemporary Art Collection. This past week in an email exchange, I weighed in with the artist about family, legacy and and growing up under the influence of strong, independent women.
What is it about working across generations that brings new beauty and life to your artwork?
I have a very deep and sincere respect for my mother and grandmother's lives and the work they did. When I paint my own compositions, I can connect with their independence, strength and creativity. If I choose to reference something from their paintings in something of mine, as in my "Mother Line" series, it is like hearing their message, but interpreting it my own way.
Tell us a story about you and your mother and your grandmother?
When I was very little, until I was about 8 years old, the three of us were inseparable. If I wasn't with one, I was with the other one. We lived close to Grandma so I could walk home to her house from school, so that's what I did every day. One day my Mom showed up to get me and a friend asked me who that lady was… I told her it was my sister! Looking back, I really felt that grandma was our mother; we all answered to her and as long as she was around we were safe and secure. My mom was young and much better looking than anyone else's mom… So they believed me!
When women come together to celebrate their history and legacy this month, what is your take home message?
Remember the women before you who broke boundaries, lost there lives, fought for justice, went against the grain, challenged authority! Remember it was women who gave birth and raised men who became noble leaders. Look in the mirror and know that women are thinkers, intellectuals, healers and progressive people. As my grandmother, Pablita Velarde, used to say, "I'm not going to let some man tell me what I can and can't do. Half the time they don't know what they're talking about! Besides… I make more money and work harder then most of them do!"
Margarete Bagshaw's lecture and discussion is on Saturday, March 12 at 2 PM at the National Museum of the American Indian on the fourth floor in room 4018. Vantage Point: The Contemporary Art Collection is on view on the third floor in the Richard West Jr. Contemporary Arts Gallery.

I'm a huge fan of Bibhu Mohapatra, and I was giddy with excitement when I was invited to the Spring 2013 show at Lincon Center.
This season, the designer was fascinated by the luna moth and the idea of evolution and transformation. The clothes abundantly portrayed that concept, and each piece looked as if it was fresh from a cocoon, ready to display its beautiful colors and complex craftsmanship to the world. The models coming down the runway looked like they were from a super high-fashion sequel to Disney/Pixar's A Bug's Life; the structure of the jackets and shoulders were even reminiscent of an insect's hard exoskeleton. The collection also featured a geometric print that resembled butterfly wings.
Aside from all the buggy business, the collection included some downright breathtaking ball gowns in various shades of pink and blush that were just dying to have a red carpet moment. I really appreciated the use of so many different fabrics in each dress. It took the idea of "color blocking" to whole new level.
Mixed fabrics, gleaming appliques, sheer elements, vibrant bright blues and greens and icy powder blues and pinks were prominent in the collection. My favorite pieces were two looks decorated with strips of sheer black and red fabric that was placed in a crisscross all over the dress. The effect was stunning and really delicate. Click through the slideshow below to see the collection.

"Self-regulation, long a critical underpinning of U.S. advertising, is weakened if industry markets products in ways inconsistent with their ratings and parental advisories," said FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras. "This latest FTC report shows improvement, but also indicates that the entertainment industry has more work to do."
The report includes results from the FTC's latest mystery shop where unaccompanied children, ages 13-16, were sent into retailers to make a purchase. The undercover shop found significant improvement by video-game retailers, particularly in national retail chains, but little or no improvement by movie theaters, or DVD and music retailers.
Percent of Children ABLE to Make the Purchase Unaccompanied
*Denotes a statistically significant change.
2000 | 2001 | 2003 | 2006 | |
R-Rated Movie Theater Ticket | 46% | 48% | 36%* | 39% |
R-Rated Movie on DVD | N/A | N/A | 81% | 71%* |
Unrated Movie on DVD |
Explicit-Content Labeled Music Recording | 85% | 90% | 83% | 76%* |
M-Rated Electronic Game | 85% | 78%* | 69%* | 42%* |
Other findings in the report include:
For the first time, the Commission tracked trends in viral marketing, including social networking sites such as MySpace, and viral video sites like YouTube. Advertisers often set up profile pages with industry-generated content or uploaded videos for users to then share on their own, such as posting music to their own profile page or emailing videos to friends. The report noted that few profile pages contain prominent rating information. Although they are general audience sites, they reach a large number of children under 17. The report also flags a new trend in gaming, mobile phone games, and noted several challenges they pose. For example, mobile phone game developers often do not seek ESRB ratings and they do not sell their products through traditional retail channels, instead licensing their products directly to wireless carriers. The report discusses industry efforts to provide some form of parental oversight in this fledgling area.
The FTC recommends that all three industries consider adopting new, or tightening existing, target marketing standards. The FTC also suggests retailers further implement and enforce point-of-sale policies restricting sales of rated or labeled material to children under 17. In particular, the report suggests the movie industry examine whether marketing and selling of unrated or "Director's Cut" DVD versions of R-rated movies, which may contain content that could warrant an even more restrictive rating, undermines the current self-regulatory system. The report also suggests that the music industry provide more information on packaging and in advertising about why certain recordings receive a Parental Advisory. Finally, the report recommends that the video game industry place content descriptors on the front of product packaging and research why many parents believe that the system could do a better job of informing them about the level of violence in some games.
The Commission continues to support industry self-regulation in this area given important First Amendment considerations. The Commission will continue to monitor this area, particularly as emerging technologies change the way entertainment products are marketed and sold. The Commission also will continue to work with industry and others to encourage efforts to provide parents with the information they need to decide which products are appropriate for their children.
Further details are included in the report itself, including the specific movies, recordings, and games that were studied by the Commission, and the television shows, Web sites, and other places where ads were placed. The report also includes the methodologies and detailed results from the Commission's mystery shop and survey on awareness and use of the ESRB rating system.
Consumers can obtain a copy of this report, access information about entertainment ratings, or file a complaint related to media violence by visiting our website at http://www.ftc.gov/ratings.
Copies of the report are available from the FTC's Web site at http://www.ftc.gov and also from the FTC's Consumer Response Center, Room 130, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580. The FTC works for the consumer to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish or to get free information on any of 150 consumer topics, call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357), or use the complaint form at http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/complaint.htm.

It looks like one of the main collectors of Jaguar stuff is having a big clearout. I'd guess he's a member here.

I think you actually meant to link to:
And not the search for Atari Jaguar - not all the Jaguar items belong to this seller ;)
It's a fantastic collection (look at the link) and some lovely items from it are up for sale... but I do feel they're too expensive in a lot of cases.
I'd say the majority of the items he's selling are over priced by at least 30% but hey, its their stuff and if thats what he wants to sell them for, then thats his choice.
I collected Jaguar stuff for about a year and then got out of it, controller was killing my hands. Its an interesting system but it does have its flaws. That being said, I don't think any system is perfect . . .

Shouldnt this be in the eBay thread? :S
Also I sent the seller a question to see if the Jaguar 2 works - it does not.
Never was much of a Jag man myself. I did get hold of one in 1996-7 with CyberMorph however it was broken.... not by me though!

I thought about putting it in a sale thread, but: a) I'm not the guy selling it, b) it's the significance of the collection of genuinely rare stuff specific to a particular machine that made me think of putting it here.
So, I mentioned this in Jeff Minters Forum, and he apparently has the programmers reference document for the Jag II. He said he will probably scan it and make it available.
Another programmer on the thread - Dio - said that he considered the Jag II to have fixed quite alot of the percieved problems of the Jag I. This guy should know what he's talking about too - he's written a Jag Emulator.
I'm obviously interested in it because it's the son and grand son of the Konix Multisystem (in effect).
It would have been interesting to see what it could do, but to be honest I know of no code or demo's written for it and certainly no games, so it's really just an academic exercise in speculating about it's performance and capabilities.
It's BuddyBuddies... odd guy but he has an awesome Jag collection. Not only that he was one half of the team that recently released the Tiny Toon Adventures alpha (Jag) and Relief Pitcher (Lynx). :clap:
Prices are unreasonable.
Really thats BuddiesBuddies stuff? Wow, I know him fairly well from JSII, wonder why he's letting go of part of his collection.
I know for a fact its not everything, last time I talked to him he had a working Jaguar VR System and more Jaguar Kiosks than I could remember . . .
The eBay thread is for posting interesting eBay auctions, regardless of whether you're the seller or not. It's interesting to discuss separately, though.
Yes, it was listed in the eBay thread - several times!
Even the lower priced stuff is unreasonable. $35 for the Jag PCB clock? Best still sell them for $29.99!
I'm surprised you didn't see the link to the collection on the auctions. Yes, it's just some stuff... but there's more than there was a week or so ago. And he has a lot of VR stuff.
closed, go post in the ebay thread.

URGENT - North Korea Playbook
POSTED: 04:52 AM MDT Apr 04, 2013
(CNN) -- The Obama administration established what one official is calling a "playbook" of pre-scripted actions and responses to the last several weeks of North Korean rhetoric and provocations, that included an increased show of U.S. military force during its annual exercise with the South Korean military. But some of the U.S. military's recent moves -- including the deployment of ballistic missile defenses closer to North Korea -- were not part of the planning and instead arose from concerns about what North Korea has planned as the U.S.-South Korean exercise comes to an end, the administration official said.

what can I say - we've been back time after time and had a fab time. lovely rooms, views, service and pool and in a quiet but central part of town. just lovely!

Breakfasts outstanding. Best coffee and fresh orange juice ever. Restaurant excellent and reasonably priced ( I do not usually frequent hotel restaurants preferring to eat elsewhere ). Compared very favourably with restaurants in city especially on value. Service good too. Very close to castle, but need taxi / own transport to get to city/ port. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Pleasant hotel. Lovely pool and lovely breakfasts. Conveniently near the number 3 bus which will take you into the centre of town in 5-10 minutes and costs only 1.10 Euro. Drinks are expensive (4.95 Euros for 3 mineral waters...) Quiet hotel and there was always space around the pool when we went down.

Purchasing a stove is not something to be taken lightly. You're making a decision that will affect your home aesthetics, heating and potentially your energy bill.
Fireside Home Solutions
Recognized as the "darling" of the green home heating world, pellet stoves seem like a smart choice for any homeowner looking to warm up this winter. While they do let off considerably fewer emissions than older wood stoves, pellet stoves are not without issues.
Nothing beats the warmth and comfort of a fireplace on a chilly night. There's something nostalgic about staring in to the flames and hearing the embers pop as you curl up with your favorite book or movie.
One of the biggest arguments heard in homes during winter is what temperature the thermostat should be on. You want to be comfortable, but you don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for your heating bill every month.
From hybrid cars to high-efficiency heaters, green appliances and products have become a regular part of many people's lives.
As the temperature drops and winter makes it way toward the Northwest, you may be thinking about investing in a fireplace. You know there are many types of fireplaces available and after some careful consideration you decide a gas fireplace makes the most sense for your home.
The garage door is most likely the largest moving part of your home. It's also one of the most utilized, with people coming and going all day long.
There's nothing like a fireplace to keep you warm and cozy through the chilly days of autumn and winter. For many people, the fireplace becomes a social center of their home on cold days, where family gatherings and even a little romance can take place.
Your garage may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about ways to increase the value of your home. However the garage can account for 20 to 40 percent of your home's square footage; and is a major selling point for some buyers, so it's not a feature to overlook.
Heating with Gas: Insert or Logs?
After doing the research and debating between models you've decided that a gas fireplace is the right choice for your home.
After doing the research and debating between models you've decided that a gas fireplace is the right choice for your home.
When thinking about home heating, it can be easy to want to cut corners. Why spend extra money on a device that will only be used for half the year? Is it REALLY that important to purchase a new stove instead of just buying a used one? These concerns are valid, but trading efficiency and long-term cost for the sake of a short-term savings makes this decision a simple one.
As we enter into the cooler months, many homeowners are starting to anticipate unlocking the woodshed and firing up the stove. The wood stove has been certified and serviced, so what other work needs to be done? One of the biggest concerns to keep in mind when opening up the woodshed for the first time in the season is that wet wood can be just as hazardous for your fireplace as shoddy maintenance.
Fireplaces have been around as long as people have known how to build them. Although the design of the fireplace has changed through trial and error, the basic construction remains the same.
Fireplaces have been around as long as people have known how to build them. Although the design of the fireplace has changed through trial and error, the basic construction remains the same. Hot air rises because it is less dense than the air around it, sucking colder air down into the fire to create a cycle of heat that constantly fuels the fire. From fire pits to elaborate multi-room heating systems, fireplaces are an integral part of many modern houses.
Buying a new garage door may seem like a daunting process, but if you approach the process in steps, the purchase can be simpler for both you and your retailer.
Just because it is summer doesn't mean it's too early to start thinking about the colder months to come. When unoccupied parts of the house are heated at the same rate as the rest of the building it can cause an unneeded strain on monthly heating bills. Zone heating allows control of not only comfort, but expensive bills as well. A properly designed zoning system can save up to hundreds of dollars per year.
Lighting your pilot light may seem daunting at first glance. Follow these instructions to get your fireplace ready for the cooler months.
Pellet stoves are low-smoke and easy on the environment, but what exactly makes them different from gas or wood-burning stoves?
