It's a debate that has been going on for decades unions and labor activists say it's good for the economy business owners is a great correspondent Peter -- explains minimum wage.
It's still a very hot.
Nearly one million people across America will get a raise on New Year's Day.
Not as a reward for a job well done but instead because they lived in one of the ten states that is raising their minimum wage next week with increases.
Ranging from a modest -- hour in Missouri to 35 cents an hour in Rhode Island.
Supporters say that right now and income guarantee is important.
Since some the unions are weakening.
The increase in the minimal wage actually does give workers the kinds of safety nets that.
The businesses themselves are in some governments quite frankly are taking away little by little.
But some experts think that assessment is antiquated.
What you know union and advocates figures don't realize here is sort of there -- the hell really is no longer with management has with its with technology if you go into your local target or something like that.
You're checking your own prices and automatic price checkpoints and having people on the floor you know to help -- I think.
We've just been through a period where we sort of seeing the impact -- you know higher minimum wage it.
Forces businesses did cut back the federal minimum wage is seven dollars and 25 cents an hour but cities and states.
Can set their own wages higher like San Francisco.
Which will raise its 21055.
An hour on January 1.
With a little more money in the pocket of -- workers.
They will actually have the opportunity to go out and spend more money.
And and grow the economy a little bit but taking money away from business owners and giving it to low skilled workers is not a formula for growth.
That all economists support raising the minimum wage and interfering.
With the free market process.
Always costs.
Jobs it increases unemployment to -- Credit lawmakers senator Tom Harkin and congressman George Miller want to raise the federal minimum wage from 725.
To 980 over two years but.
Republican senator Lamar Alexander says the focus should instead be on job training and that he is for maximum -- is not.
Minimum wages -- Thank you Peter.

The staff were friendly, the food was amazing, the company was excellent, and the attractions and itinerary were perfect. Halong Bay is stunning and we loved kayaking, walking to the viewpoint, going to the beach, exploring the save, doing tai chi at sunrise, taking a spring roll cooking class, and eating some of the best food we had in Vietnam. – Feb 9, 2012.
We took part in the excursions and wow, they were expertly organized! Because of this, we appreciated the nature of ha long bay (trip to the caves were good) and its culture (floating village was a revelation) much more. – Dec 14, 2011.
easy access to old district of hanoi, plenty of restaurants nearby. close access to weekend night market and walking distance to lake. hotel staff were very friendly and generally helpful. the hotel room was spacious, comfortable, clean and very quiet. wifi use from the room was poor but good in the foyer of the hotel.we would definately stay here again when in hanoi. – Apr 2, 2012.
–Malcolm A.
this hotel was a surprise gem! it was unusually well appointed and the staff are polite and professional. it is located within easy walking distance to most old quarter attractions and there are plenty of food stalls nearby. the bathrooms were clean and very modern looking. breakfast was above average. – Jan 11, 2011.

I just wanted a clean and comfortable place to stay. My needs being a bed and ensuite. The Abbots was clean and I had the facilities I required. The pubs and restaurants on the "Shore" area were friendly and reasonably priced. Would not go back to the Mint Leaf Indian restaurant . The owner was very unfriendly!

What's the first thing you cut out when life gets busy? Laying on the couch? Checking stuff/internet surfing? I start slacking on the blog and cleaning. Dustin recently told me, "I like it when you're busy– you're much happier. Even though the kitchen is much dirtier."
And I don't even know why it's dirty. It's not like I've done any cooking except testing sausage and bacon recipes for a magazine article. Instead I've been living off a steady diet of kolaches, tacos, and the other healthful things for Serious Eats, washed down with rivers of iced coffee, beer, and $3 Whole Foods wine. "How I suffer for my art."
What else did I do this summer? (It feels like summer is just ending here in Austin BTW) Visited New Orleans for wedding planning! But really just did more eating, drinking, and socializing… then hosted said friends during Hurricane Isaac and repeated the pattern in Austin. I also biked to and from my day job everyday in the 100+ degree heat. I get props for that, right?
I also basked in the glorious Portland late summer weather and attended IFBC while completing a writing class through Cook n' Scribble. Really, I can always find the time for something if I want to. The class and conference made me realize that this blog has grown SO tiresome. The here-is-some-cool-stuff-I-made-with-a-recipe-and-photo format feels played out.
The last couple months have been a swirl of working, writing, drinking, and schmoozing. I'm exhausted, but I've had a blogging breakthrough. Can't wait to share it with you after I clean my house!
In the meantime, I'm keeping up with the format. Here's a country pâté I made with some of the scraps from bacon and sausage making along with some venison I found in my freezer.
Paté Campagne with Venison
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small shallot, diced
1/2 of a medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
1/4 cup cognac
1 pound pork shoulder, cubed (or various leftovers from sausage making)
1 pound venison shoulder or stew meat, cubed
1/4 pound pancetta or slab bacon, cubed
2 bay leaves
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground clove
1/4 teaspoon dried ginger
1/4 teaspoon dried coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Toss the pork, venison, and bacon with the bay leaves, allspice, clove, ginger, coriander, and salt and pepper. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
3. Place the meat mixture in the freezer for 30 minutes.
4. In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic, shallot, onion and thyme and cook for about five minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Deglaze the pan with the cognac, scraping up the brown bits. Reduce by half, remove the onion and shallot mixture from the heat, and let cool to room temperature.
6. Discard the bay leaves and grind the cold meat into a bowl set in ice.
7. Add the cooled onion mixture to the meat. Using a sturdy spoon, stir vigorously to combine until the meat takes on a uniform texture.
8. Fold in the pistachios, distributing them evenly.
9. Pack the mixture into a terrine. Cover in foil and bake in a water bath in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°F at the center of the pâté.
10. Allow to cool for 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator. Slide the pâté out the terrine and slice before serving.

The Wheelers Guide covers listings for the United States, Canada and Mexico, describing and locating government and privately operated Parks, Campgrounds, RV Resorts, RV Dealers, Repair and Service providers serving campers and RVers. The CD Guide's format is easy to use and concise, yet complete with the relevant information campers need to plan their camping trips!
Private enterprise parks and campgrounds are rated with stars from 1 to 5, (5 being the highest) by Wheelers VIP Reporters, who are campers and/or RVers who stay at least overnight to assign a star rating. These same establishments that have been rated by Wheelers also have their phone numbers and mail addresses printed in their listings.
Unlike other national campground directories, Wheelers' information is available on line so RVers can pre-plan their trips at home and make the necessary reservations prior to leaving. For those less structured outings, we recommend you also purchase the CD version so you can have all the information available on your computer you take along on your trips and do not have an Internet connection.
The campground industry is fluid with changes occuring very rapidly. Telephone area codes change, new campgrounds are opened and some existing campgrounds change affiliations or go out of business. In printed directories these changes are not available until the next annual directory is printed and purchased. Since there isn't hard copy of the printed directory of the Wheelers RV Resort and Campground Guide, only electronic and digital, the information on the Wheelers CD and web site is being updated constantly. That insures when you either buy the CD or view the information on this web site, you know that it is the most current information available.

For immediate release June 22, 2011
For an exhibit July 18th – September 24th
Contact: Michele McKenzie (Phone: 510-981-6241)
Berkeley based photographer, Ilona Sturm, exhibits a collection of color and black and white custom prints representing the last ten years of her "street photography" at Berkeley Public Library's Central Catalog Lobby, 2090 Kittredge at Shattuck, downtown Berkeley, from July 18th through September 24th. Sturm's retrospective includes images of Europe, India and Mexico, as well as new work of London and Bay Area cities. Sturm treats the street as theatre; as photographer she serves as both participant and observer, moving through the urban environment capturing the living dynamics of vernacular culture on the streets. Sturm still works predominantly with film and the images in this exhibition have been captured and printed using traditional film and printing methods. Her work follows in the footsteps of American street photographers Diane Arbus, Helen Levitt and Gary Winogrand. Access to the exhibit is available during the library's open hours: Monday 12 – 8; Tuesday 10- 8; Wednesday – Saturday, 10 – 6; Sunday 1 – 5.
Originally from New York City, Ilona Sturm has made the Bay Area her home since 1992. Her earliest memories of the vibrant street life of New York City in the late 1960's inspired her to record the movement, spontaneity, and small dramas that one witnesses daily in urban public spaces. Her love and sensitivity to the energy that comes off the street has helped her to capture the zeitgeist of the various locations she has photographed throughout her career. Sturm is also a painter with a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art. In 2009, she received a grant from the Stockton Arts Council to create a body of work entitled "Street Photography: A Portrait of Stockton" which exhibited at the L.H. Horton Jr. Gallery at Delta College. This exhibit was done in conjunction with a summer street photography workshop Sturm offered to Stockton youth. She is currently writing a collection of essays about street photography and the limits of digital photography. Her work is held in the Alameda County Public Art Collection and her paintings, murals, site-specific installations, and videos have been exhibited in the US, Europe, and Latin America.
All are invited to hear Ilona Sturm discuss her work and the significance of the genre of street photography during a FREE artist's talk on Saturday afternoon, August 20th, at 2:00 pm in the Community Meeting Room on the 3rd floor of the Central Library.
Wheelchair accessible. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library. For more information, call 510-981-6100 or connect www.berkeleypubliclibrary.org

It has become routine for engineers to draw inspiration from the animal kingdom when designing mobile robots. There are now machines that run like cheetahs, fly like hummingbirds, and swim like zebrafish. So it's not surprising that when a team of British and American scientists joined forces to build a robot that wriggles through water, they decided to use the sea lamprey, a primitive eel-like fish, as a model.
But this lamprey-inspired bot won't merely be another animal-mimicking machine. Instead, it will be a "biohybrid", a simulated sea lamprey that integrates electronic components with living animal cells. The project team hopes to create a tiny swimming machine, just a millimetre in length, that can respond to environmental cues – navigating using ambient light and following the trail of a chemical compound through the water, for instance. The micro-robot, dubbed "Cyberplasm," could then perform hazardous underwater tasks, such as looking for submerged mines, and explore worlds inaccessible to humans.
"The idea is to build a part biological, part machine robot," says Daniel Frankel, a chemical engineer at Newcastle University and one of the lead scientists for the project. "We're going to do that using genetic engineering – we're changing the way the cells work so they can be read by electronics." This ambitious project, which began in 2009 aims to build a swimming robot with cells that have been genetically engineered to act like eyes, cells that detect chemicals, and muscles that contract, says Frankel. "All of these components will eventually work together like an artificial organism."
Frankel's job is to design the light- and chemical-sensitive cells that will act as Cyberplasm's "eyes" and "nose". To engineer the eye sensors, Frankel started with a supply of Chinese hamster ovary cells, which are commonly used in biological and medical research. Then they modified these cells by inserting a gene that makes plants responsive to light. They linked this plant DNA with another gene – common in mammalian cells –which produces nitric oxide, a gas that acts as an important signaling molecule in the body. These genetic manipulations produced hamster cells that are light-responsive; whenever light hits the cells, they respond by producing a hit of nitric oxide.
Frankel is now using the same approach to build the robot's chemical sensors, working with Christopher Voigt, a biological engineer at MIT, to engineer hamster cells that give off nitric oxide in the presence of certain chemical compounds.
The release of nitric oxide will allow the modified mammalian cells to communicate with Cyberplasm's electronic "brain". When the researchers assemble the final robot, they'll implant a nitric-oxide-sensitive electrode near the genetically engineered cells. And whenever the electrode detects a nitric oxide plume, it will send a signal to a microprocessor, which will then coordinate the robot's movement.
High-risk research
To mimic the motion of sea lampreys, which essentially slither through the water like a snake, the researchers will build a robot body by attaching muscle cells from a mouse to a flexible, plastic backbone. And when it's time for the robot to start swimming, the electronic brain will stimulate the muscle cells on either side of the artificial spine to contract and relax in a rhythmic, alternating pattern. "It will send out signals to the muscles in the same type of patterns that a sea lamprey does when it wants to swim," Frankel says. The result: waves that propagate through the robot's body and propel it forward.

Great Helmet
THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A FULL FACE HELMET..I HAVE BEEN RIDING MOTORCYCLES SINCE I TURNED 16 I AM NOW 55 SO BEEN RIDING AWHILE...I FIRST PUT ON MY NEW HELMET AND THOUGHT IT WAS TO TIGHT, ALSO FELT LIKE I SHUT OFF THE WORLD. MY FIRST RESPONSE WAS THIS IS GONNA SUCK...WELL THE NEXT MORNING I WAS GOING ON A 600 MILE TRIP..I PUT ON MY NEW HELMET AND THOUGHT HEY THIS ISN'T SO BAD ..IT WAS 50 DEGREES OUT...MY MELON IS WARM AND MY NOSE ISN'T COLD. AFTER 30 MILES I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE HELMET NO PULLING MY HEAD BACK LIKE THE OLD SHORTY HELMETS I HAVE ALWAYS WORN ..I HAVE A FUSED NECK SO WEIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FACTOR.. THE AERODYNAMICS OF THIS HELMET SHINE AS I SAID THIS WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A FULL FACE SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I RIDE A 2011 STREET GLIDE SO I LIKE MY MUSIC..CANT REALLY HEAR IT BUT I PLANED ON UPGRADING MY SOUND SYSTEM ANYWAY.. ON THE INTERSTATE IS WHERE I REALLY NOTICED THE HELMETS DESIGN CRUISING AT 90 OR SO I HAD NONE OF THE TUGGING ON MY NECK THAT I NORMALLY HAVE WITH THE SHORTY. I LOVE IT AND WILL NEVER AGAIN RIDE A LONG TRIP WITHOUT IT.. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG? ALSO I WAS TOLD I LOOK LIKE A BAD-ASS THUG NOW!!!! WHICH OF COURSE I AM!!Reviewer: T. Holbrook Walker (Campbell, CA) 7.27.2012
The helmet I've always wanted
I had a Shoei helmet stolen around last Christmas. It upset me because it wasn't cheap and because no one likes being taken advantage of. But the helmet that I "fell back" on, my HJC modular helmet, was honestly a lot more full featured. Enter this helmet with all the bells and whistles of the HJC, trademark Shoei quality craftsmanship, and at only three times the price! No joke, this is the most expensive helmet I've ever bought. But it's also the most solidly constructed and one of the most attractive to boot. It was hard to get over the initial hump to buy, but I've never regretted my decision for even a moment after using it.Reviewer: Juan Carlos (Brooklyn, New York) 7.25.2012
Shoei does it again.
So I received my Shoei Neotec today, HelmetCity on point as usual. I have a Multitec and also an RF1000, I like both, the RF is pretty comfortable but it fogs like crazy, the Multitec is awesome for drinking water, asking directions and whatever you want to do without taking your helmet off, you can go to the bank with it flipped open and people won't look at you like you are about to pull a robbery, Multitec is awesome for running errands in the town. Unfortunately non has a fully removable interior, so after few years of ownership they have collected hours and hours of dust mixed with sweat and whatever else is in the air. The new Neotec, has so much technology that both of my past helmets lacked, the entire liner is removable, it flips open, it has a pin-lock and a sunshade built in that you can move up and down in a fraction of a second. I have only 200ish miles on it, and I can already tell I'll like it all year round, if anything changes I'll be back to let you know.

Posted: Nov 29, 2012 10:02 PM by Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - A wealthy Kansas City businessman has answered the prayers of some New Yorkers ravaged by Sandy, appearing as a "Secret Santa" handing out $100 bills to some who'd lost everything.
The anonymous benefactor is spending $100,000 this holiday season for such acts of kindness, including visits Thursday to the New York borough of Staten Island and neighboring Elizabeth, N.J.
He walked up to surprised strangers, thrusting crisp bills into the hands of some who'd lost homes and belongings. "You're not alone, God bless you," he told a couple whose home was badly damaged but now had an extra $300 in cash for rebuilding.
Keeping close watch over the cash handouts were police officers from New York and New Jersey, plus FBI agents and former agents from various states. They provided security and helped him choose locations where people are most in need.
Olivia Bazile, an unemployed mother of five, said, "I feel like I just got a million dollars. It's only $100, but God is good all the time."

"Surprised, in a good way!"
I was very impressed by this hotel. I've stayed at several hotels around this area with the same star rating and I have to say that this hotel is by far the best one. The room was very nicely decorated and it was clean and comfortable. The pillows were so nice! Sorry folks, no flat pillows here. The bed was comphy as well. The furniture was in very […] good condition and everything was in working order. The continental breakfast was good too. They had waffles, pancakes, bagels, danishes, several different types of cereal, coffee and juice. Wifi is only strong in rooms closest to the front desk. So make sure you let the front desk know if you will need good wifi. They do have a computer & desk available on the first floor if you need it. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and will be booking this hotel again next time I will be in town for a few days. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Charged 37 dollars at the hotel"
Hotels.com had a deal for this hotel stay to cost 54 dollars for a night. It looked like a good deal, but when I got to the hotel, I was charged another 37 dollars. I had booked two nights at another hotel in Orlando recently where they charged 70-75 online per night then had less than 10 bucks as taxes and fees at the hotel. Overall I paid more for […] the hotel that should have cost less, and got a lot less for it. Worse location, smaller rooms, louder walls, and a much smaller breakfast. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Great Value"
This hotel was a good value. The room was small and had little drawer space, but it was less than a ten minute drive to the Magic Kingdom parking gate. We passed a Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds and a Target nearby. It was ideal for a one night stay and the staff was very friendly. No hidden fees either! The room was clean with the exception of the interior […] of the bathroom pocket door. The bed was more comfortable that the one we had at our last stay at one of the Disney Resorts with extra pillows available on request. We will definitely keep this in mind for out next stay. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Small and Comfortable, Would Stay Again"
The pros for our stay. Price was right, Room was clean and had a very modern look, bed was really comfortable, location was fairly close to Disney, we got a room on the 1st floor (Very important for my Fiance who is scared of heights). Breakfast was alright, but most of it was breads and carbs which I try to stay away from. Also, they made you use styrofoam […] plates to microwave your food, that's a no-no. You should never microwave styrofoam, other than the fact it will melt. They should use paper. The room itself is extremely small, which isn't bad for a single overnight stay or two, but might be an issue for a week vacation. The bathroom door was sliding and outdated, was afraid to lock the door as it might get stuck. Overall for a weekend getaway, I would definitely stay again. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"This was a ok hotel for the price."
We booked this hotel for a two night stay but decided that we needed an extra night. My husband paid for the extra night but when we returned home we found that we could not get into our room.

"Great Hotel/Great Price"
We are Disney Annual Passholders on a weekend get away. We usually avoid the "lower price" hotels because you usually get what you pay for. Not at Destiny Palms. Very friendly and hospitable front desk and maid staff. Room was on the small side but how much time other than to sleep do you really spend there? Room was clean with a nice large shower, […] microwave and refrigerator. Have never stayed on the Maingate West end and wasn't sure what to expect. Lots of shopping and restaurants. Not as commercialized as Maingate East. When traveling to Disney 2-3 times a month you need a nice, clean affordable place to stay. We have found it in Destiny Palms. We are planning another trip this weekend. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

Second time at this hotel and will not be the last. We like to go for an overnight or two so kids can enjoy Disney and this hotel has a perfect setting for the price.

The hotel was in pretty good condition to me. The outside halls were a bit musty but the nonsmoking room was clean. Room very comforting after a long day at the water park.

The only downside was the "FREE" breakfast everything was frozen; pancakes and […] French toast included and the eggs were hardboiled.

It was just okay. We checked in about 4pm and the desk clerk went to see if the room was ready. They moved us to the room next door since "it was ready" but they were still vacuuming when we got there. The large cleaning crew spent the next 45 minutes cleaning the room next door yelling to each other the whole time. The hallway carpet was threadbare, […] but it was clean. The room was clean but tiny! Two double beds literally touched the walls of the room, with a tiny nightstand between them. The bathroom (shower only, no tub) was the size of a cruise ship bathroom. Continenal breakfast was included, but also humble. Eggo frozen waffles, slices of bread, a few types of cereal, and a bowl of hard boiled eggs. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Good value hotel."
The overall look of the hotel is a little run down and in need of a little TLC. That said the rooms are comfortable and the staff are helpful and friendly which goes a long way to make up for the slightly scruffy appearance in the common areas.

Staff was very friendly. There wasn't information regarding the hotel in the room. I didn't realize they had a laundry service until it was too late. Our drain was stuck in the sink so I had to put a pair of tweezers in it to keep it propped open. The room was humid and seemed too cramped for two beds in there. There was no microwave, but there was […] a toaster oven which wasn't very helpful.

Copyright © 2013 by Academic Psychiatry
Received October 25, 2011; Accepted June 27, 2012.
Letters of recommendation are "high stakes" and are important to candidates (letter-seekers), recommenders (letter-writers), and evaluators (letter-readers). For the candidate, a well-crafted, vibrant letter offering positive insight into his or her academic capabilities could be the factor that allows an extraordinary professional opportunity to become possible. On the other hand, a letter of scant praise, even when not intended to inflict harm, could become a real obstacle in attaining a hoped-for career goal. For a recommender, a thoughtful, detailed letter communicates (or not) the merit of the applicant but also is a direct reflection of the judgment of the recommender. For the third stakeholder in the process, the evaluator, learning how to interpret the nuances in recommendation letters may mean the difference between choosing truly outstanding individuals who will thrive in the new role, or a mismatch, disappointing to all.
Letters of recommendation are also acts of professionalism. As a component of an application, the set of letters "paints a portrait" of the applicant, and the comments of referees are often weighed as heavily as grades or other evidence of academic merit (1). For these reasons, "getting it right" matters. The emphasis on a truthful assessment of the personal qualities of a candidate, not readily conveyed in quantitative scores or usual measures of academic performance, is particularly important in psychiatry, where our individual humanity and personal nature help to shape our work—these qualities are often as important as our intellectual strengths with respect to our ability to serve in our field. In seeking a formal recommendation, the applicant is asking for a candid evaluation of his or her work, ability, and suitability for the position that is being sought. The candidate hopes that the referee's comments will be positive and will help advance his or her career, but the realistic candidate should also know that a sound letter is not an expression of enthusiasm, but, rather, an honest appraisal. In this process, the applicant trusts that the letter-writer and letter-reader will act with integrity and honesty and will not allow factors such as conflicts of interest to come into play. The integrity of the recommender is thus expressed in the thoughtfulness, rigor, and accuracy of the letter. The evaluator similarly carries professional responsibility for seeking to understand the candidate, the role, and the "goodness of fit" between the two in a fair and unprejudiced manner (see Table 1).
Thus, each of the three participants—seeker, writer, and reader—should approach the letter of recommendation with care and with the other members of the professional triangle in mind. This column is intended to lay out basic suggestions, or "tips," for best practices for the three stakeholders involved in letters of recommendation.
Under many circumstances, it is the applicant's responsibility to approach a senior colleague to request a letter. In general, letters that derive from longer-standing and more substantive relationships are better-grounded and better-received. Under some circumstances, the recommender must have a particular role or have attained a particular rank in order for the letter to be used in the decisional process—the applicant should clarify these issues before approaching a potential recommender. Ideally, the applicant should know this colleague well and have confidence in his or her ability to write a careful and positively-framed but accurate letter. Specifically, the applicant should ask for a strong letter of recommendation (1) and create an opportunity for the potential letter-writer to accept (delightedly) or to decline (gracefully). If the potential author states that he or she is unable to write a "good" letter or indicates that the deadline might not be met because of other commitments, it is in the best interest of the applicant to approach someone else. An applicant who receives several polite refusals should try to understand the pattern and speak with a trusted mentor about the issues that may be relevant.
When a letter-writer has been identified, the applicant should provide relevant information to assist the recommender—an up-to-date curriculum vitae, recent publications, a list of other activities or accomplishments, and, sometimes, a personal statement may be helpful. It is imperative that the information provided to the writer be completely accurate and presented in a manner that does not leave mis-impressions. For example, manuscripts that are accepted but not yet published should be noted as such, and volunteer work that speaks to "citizenship" (e.g., extra service, volunteer efforts outside of one's usual role or duties) should be quantified. The applicant also should provide to the writer any specifics that are known about the role being applied for—whether it is a residency spot, an award, a scholarship, a job, or a promotion. The candidate may also need to give formal permission allowing grade information to be seen and discussed in the letter (2). The applicant must also decide whether to waive his or her right to see the letter—this is a matter of personal opinion and some controversy—some believe that signing away the right to see the letter creates unnecessary vulnerability for the candidate, although others believe that the waiver helps to facilitate greater candor and more valuable letters.
Being asked to write a letter represents a "teachable moment." The writer who is pleased to serve in this role should take the time to talk with the candidate about his or her past work and hopes for the future. This conversation will have intrinsic value and will also help the writer frame his or her comments in the letter. If a recommender finds that he or she cannot in good conscience write a positive letter, rather than simply declining the invitation, he or she may talk with the candidate about realistic career goals, the issues of concern, and what the applicant could do to strengthen his or her candidacy (2, 3). Such a conversation may have a very positive formative effect on the candidate, and it may also provide information or clear up misunderstandings that will permit the writer to undertake the task of preparing a letter of recommendation that is positive.
It is then the job of the writer to craft a worthy letter. To begin, the writer should state his or her relationship to the applicant (2), clarifying the duration and depth of the relationship, and the sources of information used in formulating the letter, such as the CV, publications, and evaluations. These disclosures help the reader to place the letter in context. The writer should then describe and discuss his or her observations of the applicant. The letter should be organized according to the criteria for the position sought, as understood by the writer. Descriptive statements as well as quantified data, such as where the applicant stands among his or her peers in relation to these criteria, will further strengthen the letter in the eyes of the reader (3). To the extent possible, the writer should offer a prediction, on the basis of the candidate's past performance, on how well the applicant will fulfill the goals of the role being applied for. As a rule of thumb, letters of recommendation should exceed one page but not be several pages in length (3). Shorter letters may be a sign that the writer is not especially enthusiastic about the applicant, whereas long letters, although perhaps well written, will often be placed at the bottom of a reader's list and not read with a thorough eye. A conservatively sized, memorable letter will serve best (see Table 2).
Honest letter-writing poses many challenges. One such challenge is how to characterize a good applicant who, nevertheless, has some negative characteristics. The writer should communicate a sense of the candidate's strengths, offer a careful description of the issue, and provide evidence that serves as the basis for the concern. The writer, furthermore, should give a sense of proportion and a solution for the problem. For example, a trainee who is an outstanding early-career physician with an excellent fund of knowledge and strong clinical habits, but who performs poorly on standardized examinations should be described as such. Small problems may be quite reasonably expressed as opportunities for learning or growth (see Table 3). Another alternative is that the writer may very obviously omit information in an area in which the applicant is lacking (3) or suggest that the evaluator contact the letter-writer for more detail. The writer may indicate areas where he or she is unable to judge the candidate's strengths or performance. These steps, although subtle, send a distinct signal to the reader that the applicant may have a shortcoming that is difficult to document in the letter.
Another challenge is finding the right balance in praising a candidate. Too little praise may signify a weak candidate, and it may also imply insufficient knowledge of the candidate. On the other hand, "dressing up" a letter with exaggerated laudatory comments will be obvious to an astute reader and damage the credibility of the document as an element of the application (4). Similarly, thesaurus-enhanced letters filled with overly ambitious word choice and florid prose may bury relevant information about the applicant (and raise questions about the writer!). A precise and clear writing style is best (2). Finally, although it is perhaps obvious, letters should not contain irrelevant or untrue information. Extraneous or unverified information may adversely affect the candidate, even though this was not the letter-writer's intention.
Evaluators, or letter-readers, must think about the "fit" between the candidate and the role for which he or she is applying. The qualifications for successful candidates should be explicit and tied directly to the aims of the role. The expectations for knowledge and achievement will differ according to these aims, whether an early-career applicant seeks a training slot or a senior member of the profession seeks a national award.
With these criteria in mind, readers must evaluate the content of each letter with a discriminating eye (2). The reader should begin by considering who the letter writer is—does the writer have a special role in the applicant's life (e.g., training director, research mentor) and does the writer have experience or special expertise that is relevant? Does the writer have a perspective that will lead to a particular emphasis (or bias) in the letter?
The reader should next seek to understand the evidence used in developing the letter—is the writer acquainted personally with the applicant? Has the writer directly observed the applicant in enacting professional duties? Or is the letter based on a review of documents (e.g., publications and CV) instead? Any of these perspectives can be valuable so long as the viewpoint is well understood. For example, a professional at "arm's length" can objectively say much about the accomplishments of a candidate in relation to peers. A close colleague or mentor can speak more fully to the character of the candidate. The reader should then simply read the letter for the story it tells, seeking to be as fair as possible about the positives and negatives of the candidate and looking for specific information and observations that are relevant to the selection decision.
Although it can be difficult to do so, the reader should look carefully for omissions or gaps in the letter. Just as unreported years on a CV should be scrutinized in understanding a candidate's professional path, what a letter does not say may be just as important as what it does address (2). If the referee invites the reader to get in touch, particularly if there are negative comments or obvious omissions in the letter's content, calling the referee may be a wise step. Contacting a reference is, under many circumstances, permissible. (If the reader is new to this role, he or she may wish to seek advice from someone knowledgeable before making personal contact with a reference.) A direct conversation with a reference may provide reassuring "good news" or lead to a discussion of issues that were too awkward to include in a formal letter of recommendation but are relevant to the selection decision (2). It is important that unsubstantiated impressions or gossip communicated in these conversations should be taken with some skepticism, however. This is the difference between professionalism and prejudice. The evaluator should inform the recommender that the conversation will be carefully documented for future reference, and the evaluator should be certain to do so, particularly if the information conveyed is relevant to the decision.
Letters of recommendation are instrumental in advancing careers and in bringing candidates into the right roles in our profession. Writing (honest) letters of recommendation is clearly important work, although it is underrecognized for its significance as a service to the field. For each of the key individuals in the process—the applicant who seeks a letter, the recommender who writes the letter, and the selector who reads the letter—there is much to do with professionalism and much at stake for the profession.

Pools of melted cheese, surfboard-sized steaks, plates with color wheels that range from beige to French beige: These, for the most part, are the images that come to mind when considering Dallas dining circa 2000. Now, though? Legions of diners, each armed with a WordPress app at the ready and a DVR full of food TV, have begun to scrutinize flavors and ingredients with the discernment of pro eaters — or at least they can fake it.

What's Movember? Here it is...
The month formerly known as November, where men proudly let their masculinity shine by growing a moustache in support of men's cancer research.
Last year Made Man, our readers, and our friends at Break raised over $50,000 in support of Movember (we were part of the movement that raised $21 million worldwide). This year, we want even mo help (see what we did there?). So join the 2013 moustache-growing squad. Get your friends to join as well, then we'll rally everyone we know to support us along the way.
As a partner of Movember, we're spending the entire month showcasing Movember-inspired videos and articles on men's health and self-improvement. That includes 'mo-tivational videos by Nick Offerman of Parks and Recreation and expert fitness and nutrition advice. We have an established travel writer living his manliest month on the road, embarking on manly adventures across the country. We're also taking our 'mo love to the streets, entertaining and grooming 'mo bros from Vegas to Oregon to California. Check in with us every day, this month and every month: At Made Man, our goal is to help you be the manliest and healthiest (and occasionally the hairiest) version of yourself.
So whether you're growing like Ron Swanson, Ron Burgundy or you're follically challenged, join Generation Moustache-it's a perfect chance to contribute to a great cause.

Lawry's The Prime Rib - Las Vegas
Online Reservations
Lawry's has the best prime rib we've ever had and cutting it right at your table ensures you get the size you want. The service of the wait staff is some of the best that we've ever had. Absolutely terrific!
This was our 10 th time at this restaurant, we go back again and again because of the high quality of the food and service.
This was my second visit where my prime rib was not as tender as a few years ago. It appears that their quality is slipping. I had requested rare but got almost nearly medium. Meat still good but not as good in years past.
There is nothing about this dinning experience that is not five star. Food, service, bar and valet all wonderful!
Great food. Served very well with very pleasant waiteresses that are friendly,but professional. Beautiful and well thought out decorations.
My husband and I enjoyed everything about our visit. I am definitely going to refer all my friends and family back in Hawaii to eat the best prime rib we ever had.
Lawry's is simply the best meal for a special occasion!
Overall very good but the best was the service Ms Rodrigues was outstanding
My husband is a Prime Rib fanatic, and loves to seek out the best in every town we go to. We come to Vegas quite often, and usually eat in Steakhouses at the casinos. This one blows all the fancy ones away, with a better dinner for a better price! But you MUST like Prime Rib to eat here, as the menu is limited.
I have been going to the Lawry's restaurants since I was 10 years old (Tam O' Shanter with my Grandmother and Dad)) and I just turned 62 on my last visit Monday the 4th of November. I specifically traveled to the Las Vegas restaurant , from Portland, Oregon) to have dinner! I am proud to be a Lawry's VIP member and I am all ready looking forward to my next visit. Super Dave
Fantastic service only matched by the quality of the prime rib! Must eat to believe
It is great to dine in a restaurant where the service is top notch, the food excellent, and conversation doesn't have to compete with the background music. This is my go to place for prime rib.
It's like a trip back in time, from the attitudes of the serving staff to the uniforms they wear. If you're a fan of prime rib, there's no other place to go.
Been a family favorite for 20+ years. Highly recommend. Impeccable service.
service was first class. The food is plentiful and high quality. Prices are reasonable for an upscale establishment. we had the prime rib meal with a side if asparagus. everything was fresh and presented well. we will go back many times.
3 dudes in Vegas shelling out big money (150 plus per head) for a romantic dinner at one of the mainstream chefs restaurants seemed wasteful. We wanted to eat something amazing but didn't want to blow our budgets. With most menu items running less than 50 bucks a plate and lawry's reputation this place sounded perfect. Service bested anywhere I've ever eaten including Flemings, Morton's, Ruth Chris, etc. Seriously I've never been treated better at a restaurant. We all had prime rib and agreed it was the best we had ever had. Their wine menu was impressive and top shelf cocktails were reasonably priced. With booze we got out for under 90 bucks a person including tip. Would have happily paid much more for this amazing dining experience.
Just do yourself a favor and get the prime rib..second to NONE! Nothing more to say!
We always make Lawry's Prime Rib part of any trip through Las Vegas. It never disappoints .
Lawry's was superb!! We were late arriving to the restaurant because of traffic. The waiter helped us navigate the meal and the birthday celebration because we had a show to catch at 7:30. The service was impeccable , the food was delicious and everyone was awed with Lawry's. Thank you!!!
As always, Lawry's is the gold standard for prime rib. We've been to many restaurants that specialize in prime rib, but none can even hold a candle to Lawry's. The waiter was amazing---friendly, accommodating, welcoming. The support staff is always helpful. This location is nearly identical to the Lawry's in LA, only easier to get to, less crowded, but the same great experience.
First class food and service from start to finish. One is taken back to a better place and time.
We always love the relaxed time we have at Lawry's. The food is superb, and the attention to detail is wonderful.
An outstanding meal and dining experience. Best prime rib anywhere, and the service is amazing. One leaves feeling "pampered."
Excellent food. We have dined at Lawry's in Chicago and Dallas. VERY slow service. After sitting at table, it was at least an hour to get main course
The best prime rib I've ever had. Rare cooked to perfection. Loved the creamed corn and creamed spinich. We enjoyed the total experecce.
We chose Lawry's for a second time because the first was so good! Came here as a small group (6 persons), after my sister and hubby renewed their wedding vows. A classy place that serves great food (especially their prime rib: melt in your mouth) The sides are also fantastic (creamed spinach, mashed potatoes, asparagus, mushrooms) Reasonably priced, great atmosphere and fantastic service. Everyone left full and happy!
The food was outstanding and the service superb. The ambiance is dated but pleasant. Waited in the bar prior to being seated. I did not know there was no waiter service. I almost missed out on the pre-dinner cocktail.
We went here for our anniversary and as always, it was amazing! The food is to die for and the service is up to par. It was a quiet night for them which we didn't mind. If you have a party, family dinner, etc... Make reservations for Lawrys, you won't be disappointed!
Lawry's is a must go to when we are in Vegas. Ever since our first trip and everyone after we have gone and will continue to go very classy old school Vegas
Although the food, service, ambience and noise level were excellent, we were confused as to why we had to call our waiter, "Mister Jones" - we typically feel most comfortable with first names, especially with wait staff. Really not a deal breaker for our return to this very nice restaurant, but it did put a damper on our dining experience...
It was my first time to try their lunch menu and I was blown away with their service. We were greeted by the manager upon entry and Ms. Hyde provided great service! The steak cut has generous portion. They even have condimenst/salad bar to pair up with your lunch. It was a great lunch deal! I will surely comeback again and will recommend Lawry's The Prime Rib!
At least twice a year my wife and I travel to Las Vegas for a get away and we NEVER miss out on a wonderful dinner at Lawry's Restaurant. No finer place to say thank you to my wife for all she does during the year for me and the family. The prime rib is the best and the services is not matched anywhere.
Always dependable, always excellent. I always hit Lawry's when in Vegas. Best prime rib anywhere. Plenty of other great restaurants in Vegas, but we never miss Lawry's.
As always...excellent service and great food. See you next year!!
From the time we arived, the service was excellent. We started in the bar for a glass of vino, and the service was superb. The host sat us at exactly our reservation time and the wait staff was continual in their quest to make our dining experience pleasurable. The food was cooked spot on, from the lobster to the Prime Rib(their specialty). This is a GREAT place if you want to get away from the strip and is still very convienent to the strip hotels. Check it out!!
THE BEST PRIME RIB EVER! Love this place, never had a bad meal or experience there..a must go to place!
We love this place... Such a great night with good friends and family! Food is spectacular.
Best prime rib carved from cart. Outstanding lobster tails. Overall my fav restaurant in USA
This restarant I found on open table and was really glad I did... My wife and I went there and had a fantastic dinner. The way the serve you your salad and dinner (tableside) was a very pleastant experience and the food - well, you have to experience it yourself to appreciate it. The best Prime Rib.. We arrived early on purpose to have a drink at the bar before dinner and the bartender was exceptional and friendly and started the whole evening off. He was knowledgeable about the restarant and his wines.. We will be back next time in Las Vegas.. Wish you had one in
The dodo is always good and you know what you can expect. I go to Lawry's on every Vegas trip and I look forward to it on each trip. You know what to expect and are never disappointed. Not as good as House of Prime Rib in San Fran but close.
Everything was fantastic ! the wait staff was very friendly , food was great.
My family shared in an after Thanksgiving Dinner at Lawry's and we had an enjoyable time. They food was great, service was great and our overall experience was great.
Wonderful dining!!! Food, Service, and everything was just excellent.
The restaurant is unique. The appetizers were good calamari and uninspired lobster bruschetta. Almost no lobster. The main course was prime rib and was delicious. Sides were good as was the Yorkshire pudding. The spinning salad was good but mostly show. Overall a reasonable place to eat in Las Vegas that won't break the bank and defend wine.
An upscale restaurant with reasonable prices considering what you get. Very classy prime rib and more prime rib.
The food was delicious! The prime rib could not have been better, and the serving style was unique. Appetizers were very good. Service was efficient. The Christmas carolers were a nice touch making the dinner very festive. We enjoyed finding out more about the restaurant and its history.
Very festive for the holidays. Server attentive and very helpful for those first timers at the table. Prime rib outstanding as always, melts in your mouth . Salad dressing so tasty that everyone at the table took a bottle home. We all added the lobster tail that was perfectly cooked . Wine, drinks, food the best! Great place to celebrate with friends while enjoying a great meal. I have been here several times and will not hesitate to recommend to anyone!
We had a fabulous time this Friday night enjoying a delicious meal and impeccable service. The prix fix menu for prime rib is a a good deal and inclludes a delcious salad, unlimited sourdough bread and a fairly nice cut of succulent prime rib beef. The service, as always, was outstanding with ample time given between courses at a leisurely pace. A great wine list with a good choice of single glass options was nice. Try the banana cream coconut pie for dessert- spectacular!
What can you say about Lawry's, they know their prime rib! Excellent anniversary dinner and great atmosphere. Has the feel of a classic dinner house.
One of our Christmas traditions is having dinner here, and enjoying the Christmas Carolers. Lawry's is always consistently good with their food, service, and personnel. They always make us feel at home when we dine there.

I Maltagliati
February 7 @ 12:00 am - March 7 @ 12:00 am
| $20From Denmark, Teatret Om presents I Maltagliati – built around a series of powerful, Italian folk songs and other songs that uniquely communicate ordinary human feelings, desires and dreams. The songs include all aspects of everyday life: work, love, struggle, birth and death. The story takes place in two spaces: the physical space, the kitchen, where the woman makes pasta, only in the company of a radio, and a space of memories, where we see the woman\'s life in flashbacks, open to the viewer\'s own interpretation. During the performance a dish of homemade pasta is prepared. As the performance progresses the spectator will be surrounded by a delicious scent of tomato sauce and basil .. I Maltagliati is performed in English and Italian, and is primarily sung.

That's right, the lucky winner will get to bring a friend and see where True Blood is made! But wait, that's not all…
The auction winner will be contacted by a representative from the television show to set up dates and times for the visit. The certificate needs to be redeemed during the filming of True Blood's fifth season.

Car owner Roger Penske has no doubt that Brad Keselowski can win multiple NASCAR Sprint Cup titles and become one the sport's biggest names.
In only his third full Cup season, Keselowski defeated five-time champion Jimmie Johnson to clinch the 2012 crown at Homestead last weekend. Keselowski is the first driver to win a top-level NASCAR title for illustrious IndyCar and NASCAR team owner Penske. At 28, Keselowski is three years younger than Johnson was when he won his first Cup championship. Of recent champions, only Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch have been younger when they won their maiden titles.
"Jeff Gordon is the only one that won the championship at that early age, and you can see he's won multiple championships," said Penske. The team boss believes Keselowski is a complete package of speed and intelligence.
"Obviously, Brad has got not only the raw talent but I think he's a thinking driver," said Penske. I think his windshield is bigger than people realize. He knows what's going on and takes care of his car. You could see it on the restarts [at Homestead], he wasn't going to go and over-rev the engine, maybe lose an engine because of a valve spring.
"I think he's going to be a multiple champion, and I hope that [crew chief] Paul [Wolfe] and the team can continue to grow on the success we had this year and we can go on and do it again."
Keselowski is also optimistic that he, Penske and Wolfe can only get stronger.
"I feel like the best is yet to come. I really do," he said. "I feel like with this team we can do anything we set our mind to if we work together like we have over the last few years."
