Ignoring the moral lapses of President Clinton, Pope John Paul II flew to St. Louis today and addressed the broader moral issues facing the nation. In a crowded airport hangar, the Pope referred to the Dred Scott decision upholding slavery in 1857. He called the case, which was heard here, a ''time of testing'' that the United States failed. ''America faces a similar time of trial today,'' the Pope said. ''Today, the conflict is between a culture that affirms, cherishes and celebrates the ...

Building Facade
I was commissioned to interpret the look and feel of a new development. Specifically I was asked to create an artistic vision of the facade of the building.
Using LEGO, the piece suggests a whimsical view of the building, while also demonstrating the building's charm.
Also, the building is in Jersey City. And what is more charming than that?

Libby Hetherington's ebullient bouquet features autumn clematis, lady slipper orchids, frilly camellias, black-centered anemones, eucharis lilies, ranunculus, lilacs, and ligustrum berries.
The couple stops on the porch of the Fearrington House Country Inn, where the wedding was held.
The discerning bride selected San Francisco's Austin Press to letterpress the save-the-dates and invitations. "I first saw Kimberly Austin's stationery at one of my favorite shops in New York City and fell in love with it," she says.
The bride gave each of her bridesmaids a floral hair accessory from Handle & Spout, which they wear as an accessory the day of the wedding.
The bridesmaid bouquets include white flowers with accents of green. They are tied with black-and-white-striped ribbon to carry through the color palette of the day. Flowers by The Fearrington House Country Inn & Restaurant.

A few thoughts about food and wine matching
The great thing about food and wine matching is that you keep learning for life and sometimes re discover the basics again. The latest for me is the fact that most food is better matched to wines that are have moderate levels of alcohol that range from 11 to 13.5%. A few months ago I matched a simple medium rare rib eye with demi glaze and a huge Australian Shiraz at about 15 %. I noted that the rib eye was overwhelmed by the Shiraz and empathized the alcohol which lead to a bitter finish. Not happy with this match I turned to a modest 13.5 % Barbera d'Alba. What I difference, the wine worked in harmony and actually pulled out the meaty caramelized flavours and focused them on the palate. Food for thought.

Zap Mama
Zap Mama
Zap Mama is an all-female a cappella quintet founded by Zaire native Marie Daulne. Daulne's father was killed during the revolution of 1960 while her mother was pregnant with her, so the remainder of the family fled to the forests and found refuge with a tribe of pygmies. Daulne was raised primarily in Europe, but when she heard a recording of traditional pygmy music at age 20, she decided to return to Africa to learn about her heritage. She was trained in pygmy onomatopoeic vocal techniques before returning to the West to found Zap Mama. Her group blends world music styles from all over the globe with little, if any, instrumental or percussive backup other than what group members can do with their voices and bodies. Their 1993 debut, Adventures in Afropea, became the biggest-selling non-compilation album in the history of Luaka Bop Records, helped in part by an opening slot on that summer's 10,000 Maniacs tour. A year later they released a follow-up, Sabsylma; 7 followed in 1997. A Ma Zone appeared in 1999. Zap Mama returned to Luaka Bop for 2004's Ancestry in Progress. Supermoon was issued by Heads Up in 2007. The group evolved around Daulne into an increasingly more pop-directed world beat configuration, and while Zap Mama may have lost a few of their more traditionally focused fans in the process, the infectious persuasiveness and danceability of the later era version of the group brought in just as many again. ReCreation, a perfect example of the sort of global urban tone Daulne had been grafting into the group's DNA, appeared in 2009. ~ Steve Huey & Steve Leggett, Rovi

The FA Cup with Budweiser
Fourth Round Proper
Saturday 26 January 2013
Winning clubs receive £90,000 from The FA's Prize Fund
Click here for all the remaining Fourth Round ties
by Declan Taylor
Scott Rendell emerged from the bench to produce the shock of the day as Conference side Luton knocked Premier League Norwich out of The FA Cup with Budweiser at Carrow Road.
Luton memorably disposed of Wolves with a 1-0 home win in Round Three but trumped that Cup shock thanks to Rendell's strike, which came just six minutes after his introduction.
It means Paul Buckle's side become the first ever Conference side to win away against Premier League opposition - and only the seventh non-League side to reach the Fifth Round in the post-war era.
But the adventure is over for Luton's Conference rivals Macclesfield, who were beaten narrowly at home by Wigan.
Macclesfield beat Swindon and Cardiff en route to Round Four but could not find a way back into the game after Jordi Gomez's seventh-minute penalty.
Norwich, however, were not the only Premier League side to suffer Cup heartbreak in their own back yard as QPR were beaten 4-2 by League One MK Dons at Loftus Road.
Harry Redknapp made ten changes to his side and it showed as the visitors scored four goals inside an hour to book their place in the next round before Jay Bothroyd's and Fabio da Silva saved some face with a couple of late strikes.
Meanwhile, Arsenal avoided an upset at Brighton, who stunned Newcastle in Round Three. But it was not easy for Arsene Wenger's side, who required an 85th-minute winner from Theo Walcott to wrap up a hard-fought 3-2 win.
Everton also needed a late goal to ensure a victory in their tricky away tie against Championship opposition. Steven Pienaar opened the scoring after 18 minutes against Bolton but Marvin Sordell equalised just before the half-hour.
But when a replay loomed large, substitute John Heitinga found the net after Bolton failed to clear a corner.
There was late, late heartbreak for League Two Aldershot, who looked like they had secured a second shot at Middlesbrough with the scores locked at 1-1 in stoppage time. But Lukas Jutkiewicz scored a last-gasp second to send Boro through.
Elsewhere, Reading cruised into Round Five with a 4-0 win at home against Sheffield United, Blackburn won 3-0 in their all-Championship tie with Derby and Barnsley secured an impressive 1-0 win at Hull.
Huddersfield and Leicester will require a replay after they drew 0-0 at the John Smith's Stadium.

N.T. Wright on Understanding Ancient Texts
Today's video features N.T. Wright. Please note the views expressed here are those of the author, not necessarily of The BioLogos Foundation. You can read more about what we believe here.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of biblical texts in order to know whether to read them as literal or metaphorical narratives.
Wright begins by referencing the example of the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-31) as an example of a text that is recognized not to refer to an actual historical event. We understand it as parable on account of its genre. Similarly, when Isaiah writes that the sun will turn dark, the moon will become blood, and the stars will fall from the sky, we know that this is not "a primitive weather forecast."
Thus, we are able to distinguish between parable and resurrection narratives, and we know that apocalyptic texts are not weather forecasts. But with Genesis, the question remains of what clues we can find as to the author's intention –– or better, as to the author's "conceptual world" within which the narrative of Genesis makes sense. For additional perspective on this, see Pete Enns's recent post on "genre calibration".
Wright describes the use of biblical metaphor as "[the] language people use to refer to concrete events, but to invest those concrete events with their theological significance." To use that framework then, the creation story becomes one where we can affirm some of the concrete events—the earth is created by a good God who has chosen human beings to be his image bearers on earth. But we cannot ignore the theological picture that the use of metaphor in Genesis adds to the text.
Commentary written by the BioLogos editorial team.
N.T. Wright is a leading biblical scholar, former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England, and current Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, University of St Andrews. He studied for the ministry at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, and was ordained at Merton College, Oxford. Wright holds a Doctor of Divinity from Oxford University in addition to several honorary doctorates. Wright has also written over fifty books, including the multi-volume work Christian Origins and the Question of God and his two most recent books Simply Jesus: A New Vision of Who He Was, What He Did, and Why He Matters and How God Became King.

Sign in to digital edition
Saturday 21 Dec 2013
By Emily Sharpe. Conservation, Issue 238, September 2012Published online: 30 August 2012
The cleaning of an Elizabethan tapestry map has revealed what may be the earliest depiction of the Rollright Stones, a series of Neolithic and Bronze Age megaliths in the English Midlands, says Maggie Wood, the keeper of social history at Warwickshire Museum. What appears to be a small stone circle is now visible in the lower right-hand corner of the Sheldon Tapestry Map of Warwickshire. Other details, including tiny cottages nestled among the trees, are also now visible. The textile was cleaned and conserved in 2011 in preparation for its inclusion in the British Museum's exhibition "Shakespeare: Staging the World" (until 25 November).
The tapestry, along with four other textile maps (one of which is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London), was commissioned in the late 1580s by Ralph Sheldon for his stately home in Long Compton, near the stones. The textile was bought in 1781 by Horace Walpole and passed through various hands before entering the collection of the Warwickshire Museum in the 1960s. Wet cleaning by the Belgian company De Witt removed four centuries of dirt and dust. The tapestry then returned to the UK for further treatment by Textile Conservation, a company in Bristol. The studio, led by Alison Lister, removed the non-original lining because it was causing tension in the tapestry. A full backing of undyed linen fabric was then applied and all conservation stitching work was carried out through the new backing. As the textile is a map, the decision was made to reinstate missing areas, particularly the names of the towns. "Much of the brown-black thread had degraded, so a lot of attention was given to conservation stitching, to make the lettering clearer," Lister says. Conservators found pieces of tapestry woven over holes, which suggests that the textile was repaired early in its history, possibly within 50 to 100 years of being made. "It looks as if the tapestry was damaged when it was folded up as there are four similar-sized holes. The quality of the weaving and the matching of the design suggests that the repair could have been done by the original studio," Lister says.

I enjoy a good discussion with differing opinions. It makes for good information exchange. I didn't realize until today that there is such a divisiveness in AA between the MOTR and the Big Book adherents. I guess that I did know there was divisiveness but not at the level that I have read on a few blogs. I am glad that you send a message and state your purpose and what you believe without rancor. I think that being straightforward is a good thing.

Doris Day! Please, please, don't eat the daisies, don't eat the daisies etc I will be humming Doris Day songs for the next 24 hours.
You're not didactic at all. I am extremelty didactic on the only way to make perfect pasta, but when to comes to AA I can only say what has worked for me. - 9/13/2010 11:43 PM

I like Doris Day.
She could be very didactic with Rock Hudson, I seem to recall.

You COULD be Doris Day...add some funky eyeglasses, and I've read here that sometimes you put on heels instead of running shoes!
@Syd, what is MOTR? Because I am proud to be a Big Book adherent (down here we call them Thumpers).

I "get" you, Mary. That's why I read you.
I think you share lots of EXPERIENCE, so perhaps we won't make any of the mistakes you've made. I think you've shared in the past the STRENGTH it took to get sober, stay sober, and to this day to remain sober through what life throws at us.
Then you show us HOPE by the way you live. There's hope in having a good life. Or even a GREAT life.
I thank you for ALL your tales, your musings on life in the real world and in AA.
I know what didactic is and if you were, I wouldn't bother reading you. Please just keep writing as you always do.
If that person considers you didactic, then let them read elsewhere...this is not homework or required reading...sheesh!
I loved that show as a kid. I've seen some of the Doris Day movies as well.
Carry on, Mary Christine! - 9/14/2010 7:46 AM
Like any good writer, you write about what you know. After over 26 years of sobriety, you most assuredly know a lot.
Didactic is quite the $10 word! Imagine the user felt quite proud of him/herself using it but evidently not so proud as to attach a name. Anonymous indeed.
Thanks for your blog. You do so much good with it and it has become one of my healthy habits. - 9/14/2010 9:26 AM
I think you should go for the positive here and decide that the person was using definition 1.
Because, I am newly sober (five months and two days, not that I'm counting) and that's why I read this blog.

Taking a stand on what you think is right is not didactic. Or perhaps better said, if that is didactic then being didactic is a virtue.
I enjoy and benefit from your blog. Thank you for your thoughtful work.
Like several other commenters, I had never heard the term MOTR AA. Looking it up on the web it looks like it means the cafeteria style pop-AA that claims that all you have to do is 'don't drink and go to meetings'. You are right in asserting that the program is much, much deeper than that. - 9/14/2010 1:41 PM
- GC said...
I've only recently started reading your blog and find it helpful. I'm much earlier on in my journey and consider it a resource. I don't find the tone didactic, but I am still making my way through the 1800+ posts :-). Keep writing.
- shadowlands said...
MOTR - Middle of the road?
I am so glad you have always decided to leave your blog up and keep on blogging. You gave me information I needed to understand my own alcoholism, seek recovery through AA, and courage to attend f2f meetings.
Thank you. The internet world needs AA people like you telling us the things we need to know. I think you are the embodiment of 'attraction not promotion'.

Those pesky little yellow minions you fell for in the kiddie blockbuster "Despicable Me" are about to get their very own feature film.
Deadline reports that the tiny scene-stealers - who didn't really speak during the first cartoon hit-- will be developed into leading figures for "The Minions," courtesy of Universal Pictures. (They'll be given their own quirky language, we assume?)
The film will reportedly introduce new characters and reprise other fan favorites from 2010's "Despicable Me," but the main focus will be on the shenanigans the loveable yellow guys engage in as they interact with humans.
The script has reportedly already been written by Brian Lynch, with Pierre Coffin attached to direct with the help of Kyle Balda.
Production is apparently dependent on the "Despicable 2" shooting timetable, so that the two films come out a year apart. "The Minions" is scheduled to hit theaters in 2014, and the "Despicable" sequel, slated to arrive July 3, 2013, will bring back voice-over actor Steve Carell and will also star Kristen Wiig and Al Pacino.

By Paul Sutherland | 26 October 2012
(Sen) - A huge storm seen to erupt on Saturn nearly two years ago is still intriguing planetary scientists long after its visible effects subsided.
An oval vortex formed high in the stratosphere following the eruption. It has been closely monitored by infrared instruments on NASA's Cassini spacecraft as well as two giant Earth-based observatories, the Very Large Telescope (VLT) operated by the European Southern Observatory in Chile and NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
Bright cloud material from the storm encircled the whole of the planet in its northern hemisphere where spring was beginning. Waves of energy rippled hundreds of kilometres upwards like two enormous beacons in Saturn's stratosphere.
They were expected to cool down and disappear but instead the two hot spots merged to form a giant vortex by late April 2011, to the amazement of professional planet watchers. They were also surprised that the temperature of the vortex became about 80 C warmer than the surrounding atmosphere. Huge spikes were detected in the amount of gases such as ethylene and acetylene, to the puzzlement of European Space Agency and NASA scientists.

Leigh Fletcher, of the UK's University of Oxford, is lead author of a study of the storm published in the journal Icarus. He told Sen: "Saturn's atmosphere is usually a fairly bland place without the giant whirlpools and belts and zones you see on Jupiter. So the storm that erupted in December 2010 came as a big surprise.
"We got the first hint that something strange was going on when Cassini's radio and plasma wave instrument ramped up its levels of radio emission indicating lightning strikes. However it couldn't pinpoint their location.
"Then a few days later amateur astronomers reported a small white spot in Saturn's northern hemisphere which grew so rapidly that it became its most prominent feature within days. This was bright white material dredged up from within Saturn's atmosphere being spread by its powerful winds blowing at speeds of hundreds of metres a second."
He added: Technically the storm is over, it's the after-effects that we're now seeing in this huge vortex high in the stratosphere, hundreds of kilometres above where the storm erupted."
The planetary scientists' measurements of the temperatures, winds and composition of the clouds in Saturn's atmosphere have helped them to study the storm and its after-effects in detail.
Dr Fletcher added: "It's the first time we've seen anything like it on any planet in the Solar System. It's extremely unusual, as we can only see the vortex at infrared wavelengths – we can't tell that it is there simply by looking at the cloud cover."
The huge vortex formed briefly became larger than the famous Great Red Spot that has raged for hundreds of years on Saturn's big sibling planet Jupiter. The material within the vortex and its temperature were different from its surrounding atmosphere too, as in the Great Red Spot. But there the similarities end.
Dr Fletcher said: "Jupiter's vortex is embedded deep down in the turbulent 'weather zone', whereas the vast vortex on Saturn is higher up in the atmosphere where, normally, you wouldn't expect anything like it to have formed.
"Although there are parallels to be drawn between the two, the mechanisms by which they were formed and the length of time they are going to exist seem to be very different."
The increase in levels of the odourless gas ethylene when the ovals merged was observed by researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. They likened it to a burp and its origin is still a mystery. It is not usually seen on Saturn.

The team that detected the gas using Cassini's composite infrared spectrometer (CIRS) instrument still is exploring the origin of the ethylene, but has ruled out a large reservoir deep in the atmosphere.
Dr Fletcher told Sen: "It is far more likely that it was produced high up and brought to it's current location. It is expected to be there in the photochemical soup that results from the breakdown of methane in the high atmosphere. It's just that the levels are far higher than expected."
Goddard's Michael Flasar, the CIRS team lead, said: "We've really never been able to see ethylene on Saturn before, so this was a complete surprise." Their findings are to be reported in the Astrophysical Journal.
The storm was not only the first of its kind to be studied by a spacecraft in orbit around the planet, but also the first to be observed at thermal infrared wavelengths.

I bought his spare GELID Icy Vision cooler for my 6950 and as he was close by to my work so I went and picked it up. He's shorter than I imagined.
But im sure he could pound someone twice your size into the ground. This is Tatty we're talkin' bout here - He wrote the spec ops field manual!

Anyone found the samsung green magic ddr3 memory in the UK any cheaper then £60? Since it was $40 in the states I don't wanna get ripped off on it. There are a couple of ebay listings but they are from the states and a little high priced. I was hoping to get some from China or whatever but no listings at all. Would I be OK trying to set up someone in the states sending me some btw mods? If so via PM/Wanted thread/in the memory thread? cheers
Just get someone in the states to get it and send it to you. Im sure theres a few members around here that are willing... getting them 'modded' before shipping is a little difficult though. god knows ive tried

These pages are meant to be a fun and easy way for you to understand how much money you will get monthly from Social Security:
And to take action by writing your representative and/or senator or spreading the word to your friends and family about the current state of Social Security.
A short introduction at the top of the page provides a very high-level overview of the issues facing Social Security. After that, it's on to the fun stuff!
When you click on an age group in the first and third columns, you'll notice that a Change Pic link pops up. This allows you to switch the picture on the button if you want.
We packed a lot into this page, from the amount of money you're predicted to receive based on your selections on the first page to the money your kids and future generations are slated to receive to the year Social Security won't be able to pay full benefits. We also included an area in the upper right-hand corner that allows you recalculate your benefits based on five proposed fixes to Social Security. At any point, you can use the "Start Over" button to change your age, income level, or the ages of your kids/grandkids and get new predictions.
This section shows you how much money you will get monthly, both if Social Security were fully funded versus if nothing were done to the current, unhealthy system that's in place.
Below this is the same information for your kids. To generate this data and keep things simple, it was assumed that your kids would make the same amount of money you do. Remember, this is for when your kids turn 65 and are ready to retire. All figures are in current dollar amounts, so they are easier to compare to each other.
Each profile — You, Your Kids/Grandkids, Next/Following Generation — contains:
In the upper right-hand corner of the page, you can toggle back and forth between five proposed fixes to Social Security and click the "Recalculate Benefits" button when you find one you're interested in.
This will change the Social Security dollar amounts you see on the left side of the screen. Now you can view the amount you would receive if Social Security were fully funded and how much you would receive under the proposal you chose.
You can reset the page to your original values using the button in the bottom right, which will appear after you've clicked on the "Recalculate Benefits" button. And you can also view all of the fixes side-by-side, by clicking on the link of the same name below the "Recalculate Benefits" button.
Just above the timeline on the right side of the screen is the "In a Nutshell" language. This provides a short and simple explanation of what you're seeing on the page.
On the right-hand side of the screen below the "In a Nutshell" language, there is a timeline showing when Social Security's trust fund will hit zero. At this date, Social Security can only pay out around 78 cents on the dollar for benefits. As you choose different fixes, this timeline will show how far out this extends Social Security's solvency.
If you click on the "Compare all fixes side-by-side" link below the "Recalculate Benefits" button it will take you to a page where you can see a comparison of all of the proposed fixes in one place, including data on the current system and a healthy system. These figures are displayed on graphs for easy comparison.
This graph shows the taxes you're predicted to pay under each proposed fix, again compared against a fully funded system and the current system.
This timeline shows the dates Social Security will not be able to pay full benefits under all of the proposed fixes.

At my area Walmart, most transactions are by food stamps. Why lower forecasts, when food stamp enrollments are booming? Canny investors should take a hard look at Big Soda, Big Chips, Big Frozen Food, Big Candy; these high-margin items fly off the shelves.
Prices have been jumping 10% a year, so people will buy less of it. The price increases are the fault of Obama money printing. Prices will increase 10% or more in the future.
The price of meat, milk, eggs, cheese etc. has gone steadily up. Yes, I am buying less.
Don´t worry. Go to Drudge. biden is saying we are no longer worried about the economy. Happy days are here again. Recovery summer just around the corner. Don´t worry be happy. Wait until obamacare kicks in. We will be even happier.
The Payroll tax holiday ended Jan 1. Tax increases instead of Sequester would only make this worse. If Obama stops food stamps after increasing the numbers dependent on them, there will be riots at the White House.
Poster #4, great line last two sentences.
Recession officially ended...Please - does anyone (besides the Christian Science Monitor) still believe that?
Not to worry. When those tax return checks roll in for single mothers, sales will sky rocket, especially in electronics.

Kerberos does a number of things. I personally think that kerberized apps is a thing of the past. However, kerberos is still a really good central authentication system. This is something ssh has no hope of doing. SSH has to rely on some other authentication system, usually accessed through PAM. And in many systems (including my cluster), that authentication system is kerberos. So you can't really say that kerberos was designed to do what ssh does now. And what the kerberized apps did is akin to ssh, if you just look at rlogin, and do a lot of user customized ssh keys. However, it also had the whole encrypted communication without having to relogin for many other services.

Authorities determined these images originated at Hunt's home in the weeks and months after the no-contact order had been issued, said Shepherd.
Graves, in her Wednesday statement, upbraided prosecutors for using frank and graphic detail in a court filing.
"What happened to a (statements) like 'numerous texts and inappropriate language' without details?" she wrote.
With the school year starting, she said, "I can only imagine the chatter at the school."
In the end, Graves wrote, two teen students were "involved in a consensual relationship."
"Yes one that under the current law is a crime, but still consensual. It was brought to an abrupt end and the older 'adult' teen faces up to 30 years in prison."
She said the younger girl "cannot comprehend the seriousness of the matter because it was something she consented to."
"Her opinion is ignored by the State," Graves said. The girl has been "interrogated by the Sheriff's Department, taken to a church that labels being gay a sin, has the Bible thrown at her, all of her things in her room boxed up and taken from her, is apparently hit by her parents, and clearly yelled at for lying by her father in the presence of Detective Shepherd at the school in a subsequent interview."
Under the circumstances, she's been confused, scared, and feels no one is listening to her, Graves said.
"She already tried to speak to Kaitlyn's mother Kelley who shut her down. So she turns to the only person who could (possibly) understand in her eyes and a person she clearly does not want to see hurt and that is Kaitlyn. She wants to try to save her and in doing so she just causes the walls to continue to tumble down."
Hunt, who turned 19 last week, was booked into detention Monday night after her bail bond company declined to secure her $5,000 bond any longer and picked her up.
Her family has not commented on the latest developments in the case.
The original charges against Hunt carry a maximum of 15 years in prison upon conviction.
Based on the newly revealed evidence, prosecutors filed a new charge against Hunt for "transmission of material harmful to minor by electronic equipment."

Miu Miu Nappa Patch Leather Bag, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
With all the fall colors coming to the forefront it is a breath of fresh air to see this bag in a classically beautiful rose petal color. The Miu Miu Nappa Patch Leather Bag brings together narrow slices of sweet pink leather and a twisted leather shoulder strap in one fabulous package. Complete with a zip fastening along the top edge, a small logo discreetly set, and a satin lining this functional day bag will give your ensemble a pop of great color and a little bounce in your step for $1,445. I really like the variety in the shades of pink between the strips.

Walk softly and carry a big F-sharp suspended. If legendary Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson had a mantra, that might be it. That chord (technically an F#7sus4) is known to his legion of fans as "The Alex Chord," or "The Hemispheres Chord," as it is the opening chord to Rush's 1978 prog-rock opus Hemispheres. It can also be heard ringing out on "Far Cry," the opening cut on Rush's nineteenth studio album, 2007's Snakes and Arrows.
the band. The album was followed by a marathon tour spanning two years and two continents, a double live album, and the November 2008 release of the three-disc DVD/Blu-Ray, Snakes and Arrows Live, in which Rush puts on a clinic on how to play a rock concert.
That a single chord can be associated so strongly with one guitar player is testament to Lifeson's influence on the medium. He is a guitar player's guitar player. Where Steve Vai may make us say "I wish I could do that," Alex Lifeson makes us say, "I wish I'd thought of that."
Snakes and Arrows was Rush's 27th album to appear in the Billboard Top 200, and it turned into a long, good ride for
As a musician, Alex Lifeson has occasionally been overlooked, in part because he is a guitar player dedicated to serving the song instead of stepping on it. As most guitarists know, that kind of restraint is no easy feat. Of course, serving a Rush song can be like serving a 12-course meal. As the sole guitarist and one third of the world's most complicated rock band, Alex has served well. About to release their twelfth compilation CD, Retrospective 3, I spoke with Alex Lifeson, and we talked about (what else?) guitars and his notable return to an all-Gibson lineup.

"No!" It was adamant. "I'm not a child! I'm just a little scared that's all. I'll get over it in a few minutes." She tilted her head back and presented her lips to be kissed.
Our lips met tentatively at first and then with a bit more pressure. I slowly increased the intensity, her mouth opened and I teased her with my tongue. There was a moment when I felt her freeze as if not sure how to continue and I broke it off.
"Would you like to finish dinner?" I nodded toward the table.
"Sure... I mean... Yes, Master." She giggled a little. Like a little girl.
A thought struck me. "Are you a virgin?"
She looked embarrassed... and scared again. "Yes. Does it make a difference?"
It was suddenly my turn to be worried. Appearances can be very deceiving nowadays. "Just for the record. How old are you?"
She looked blankly at me for a second then laughed softly. "Don't worry. I'm legal. My purse has an ID if you'd like to check."
"I'll take your word for it. But that still hasn't answered my question. How old are you?"
"I'm twenty. How old are you?"
I relaxed. "Twenty-eight."
"How did you get into the book business?"
I gave her some chicken and a drink of wine as I answered. "I started this store right after I got out of college. My grandfather left me this building and a nice chunk of cash. I needed some way to make it pay for itself. I wanted a business that I could run by myself and would give me time for gaming. What about you? It's not every day I find a half-naked twenty-year-old virgin slave-girl on my carpet." I took a drink as she answered.
She shrugged. The movement of her breasts did wonders for my libido. "I was born and raised in a very small, very religious town in the south. My father worked for the local church and I was raised strictly according to The Book. I never dated alone until I was seventeen and even that caused a family row. The only freedom I had was in my books. I got a lot of flak for reading 'that fantasy and science fiction trash'. When Mom died shortly after I graduated High School, Dad got even worse. I got a scholarship to the art institute and left for the city. I've been pretty busy for the last year or so with my studies and trying to pay the bills with part-time jobs."
We talked and kissed for another half-hour. I released her wrists when she asked to use the bathroom. When she came back, I was cleaning up. I decided to play it safe and give her another 'out'.
"You said you wanted to get home early. Would you like to get dressed?"
"But... It's only... Uh... That is...." She was flustered for a second. Then she stopped and looked me right in the eye. "Do you want me to go?"
"Not really. I like you a lot and want you to trust me. You said earlier you didn't want to spend the night." I spread my hands. "This slave-girl fantasy is fun, but I don't want an unwilling bed partner." It was up to her.
"Does this answer your question?" She unhooked the chain about her waist, slipped the gown from her shoulder and stepped out of it. Totally nude and unafraid, she stepped closer, put her arms around my neck and kissed me.

VIC MORGAN COLUMN: Let's hear it for the coach drivers (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

VIC MORGAN COLUMN: Let's hear it for the coach drivers
6:00am Thursday 20th September 2012 in Sport
THERE are many emotions involved in being a football fan - joy, anger, depression, frustration.
Among the worst of them is the feeling that you might miss the game. Luckily, in all the years I've been following the Town, there's not been a game I've missed, once I've set out for it.
Last Saturday came close. For reasons that are well-documented, the supporters' coaches nearly didn't get to Carlisle. Frustrating yes, but nothing compared to someone losing their life on the motorway, which is sadly what happened at the weekend. From that point of view, missing a game would have been trivial.
I arrived 35 minutes in and the game disappeared in a blur. Having arrived back in Devon after midnight on Sunday, it was a case of why did we bother? Well, because you do.
The club's offer of a free coach journey in the future is a decent one. It brings to mind a similar gesture when a Swindon game was called off at the last minute at Chester. Lou Macari and the board decided to foot the bill for the return to the old Sealand Road.
It may not be much in the grand scheme of things, but it shows they do care about the fans sometimes. More on that shortly.
Something else which came out of the weekend that got me thinking. The unsung heroes of a travelling supporter's life. Yes, it's their job which they're paid to do, but how about a round of applause for the coach drivers?
While we sit, anticipate and then digest the events of the day, the men and women behind the wheel get us to and from our destination. Over the years they become familiar figures in your football journeys. So hats off to you driver, and thank you.
The main talking point at Carlisle though was the decision not to delay the kick-off.
In a week when we'd seen the publication of the Hillsborough independent report and the horrors within it, how could a 15-minute delay have hurt anyone? Surely everyone would have understood.
We probably would still have missed most of the goals, but it would have at least shown some understanding of the feelings of the people who follow the game.
Just goes to show that actually supporters are of secondary importance, despite all the apologies and blustering of the past week. Actions not words chaps please.
Football fans are NOT second-class citizens. It's about time the game of football began to give, not just receive.

It really would not have been too much trouble to have delayed kick-off by 15 or 30 mins. Afterall, lets not forget that football ultimately is an Entertainment Sport. Fans pay good money, a lot of money, to go to a match to support their beloved club. To be entertained - matches sometimes do not live up to expectations, but thats another issue.
To travel all that way,5-6 hours, miss most of the first half, miss all the goals, get to watch only 40 or 50 minutes of the game, then get back on the coaches to repeat the long journey home.

A blog post without pictures
Annie mentioned in the comments having trouble visiting whoreticulture. Me too! Loading the blog really slows down my computer. I haven't seen it outside of "preview" in several weeks. Could it be because all the pictures? Seems likely, doesn't it? Who knows.
I've reduced the number of days visible on the homepage from 14 to 7. Maybe that will help.
While I'm here, two things:
1) My Sloggers came today! I put them on, and the next three hours in the garden flew by so fast I forgot to take a picture of me wearing them before the sun went down. The soonest I can do that now is this weekend, and I will.
I will tell you the Sloggers are extremely comfortable, and very nice looking. At first, I felt somewhat odd wearing them to the garden; I had to remind myself that's what they're for. Formality in San Francisco is so degraded, I could easily wear Sloggers to the symphony or opera. While I won't do that, I will slip them on for jaunts up to Cortland Street for coffee, dinner, etc. Indeed, I was reluctant to take them off when I came inside from the garden. We have hardwood floors. They're nice and all, but I don't like walking on them barefoot.
2) I had a moment of design epiphany in the garden tonight: the artichoke bush has to go. It was a leftover element from the winter garden anyway and now it's getting so big it obscures the tomatoes from sunlight. In my heart, I've known for awhile the artichoke would have to go, but I didn't want to admit it. And I didn't know what to replace it with, but now I do. A topiary--duh! Flanked by raggedy tomatoes and vining squash, the firm resolution of a buxus topiary makes solid, obvious sense.
So, that's that.
Come back this weekend and I'll show you (a few) pictures of me in my Sloggers ripping out the artichoke and putting in a topiary!

Your blog came right up this morning. The sloggers sound like keepers. The post was worth reading. Have a great day.
- lisa said...
Can't wait to see pictures! I'm especially curious what form your topiary will be-geometric? Animal? I've been making a half-assed attempt at topiary in a garbage can, as an Oscar the Grouch. So far, it's all wire and no plant...but someday it may be worth a picture. The clogs sound nice...I have too many ticks in the yard to wear open shoes :( . BTW...I never had any trouble opening your blog, but I have had trouble with Xris at Flatbush Gardener-it was the amount of visible posts/pictures, so yours should do well now.
- chuck b. said...
Oscar the Grouch...I love it!
As soon as I wrote buxus topiary I started considering other options. A rose pillar? Dream on. Maybe a palm? The newest Sunset came yesterday, and there's a garden with some really nice small palms with interesting trunk texture. Guy always said he wanted a palm.
I'll have to price out some options this weekend... - 7:19 AM
- lisa said...
Palms are nice...I bet you can grow several different varieties, too. Speaking of stuff you can grow...I found a bulb catalog with some wild tulips that don't need a cold period to flower: www.mzbulb.com, just in case you'd like to try them. I have ordered from these folks before, and they always "hook it up". :)
Considering how many wonderful photos you post, I'm surprised that your entries load prettyas quickly as they do for me. Not immediate, but fast enough. I'm having similar problems, and when I recently blogged about it I got several comments suggesting I resize my photos. Maybe you already do? I thought my blog program did that automatically. Now my camera's on the blink, too. Oh well...
Looking forward to your next photos. - 8:26 PM
- chuck b. said...
Thanks for the tip, Lisa.
AM, I don't do any re-sizing, or any photo processing. I just select the "medium" picture format in Flickr. Most of the time. Sometimes I think a bigger view is necessary.
I'm glad it's working better for everyone now, myself included. - 12:08 PM
- Annie in Austin said...
At first I thought it could be my old computer, Chuck, but if you couldn't even load your own blog it wasn't just me! Thanks for checking into it - can't go too long without those Whoreticulture fixes.
This house came with a Buxus hedge, but I haven't done anything creative like topiary. It will be fun to see what you think up.
Annie - 1:07 PM
- chuck b. said...
Annie, I seriously doubt I would have taken any action if you had not spoken up.
- Annie in Austin said...
Chuck, it makes me nervous that I had influence on you. But I'm sure glad to see your photos again.
Annie - 8:48 AM
- chuck b. said...
- This comment has been removed by the author.
- chuck b. said...
Annie, now I'm just going to tease you about exerting your influence on me. You made that way too easy.
- JvA said...
My vote is for a buxus topiary over a palm. Not that you asked.

The food here is always wonderful, however, I won't go back until they address the atmosphere problems. The acoustics in the space make it impossible to have a conversation, which is what you would want to have. I have heard this from many others who have been and also mentioned despite the wonderful food the atmosphere kills the experience.
Maybe not a relevant review...I went within a year of opening. Limited menu & pricey...not a bad thing, but small portions. Drink orders move like a herd of turtles. Service was questionable...Server would walk past table after initial drink order without further inquiry, refill on water or refresh bread basket. It's a small place so when a server ignores you it makes for an uncomfortable situation. Neither myself nor my wife have been compelled to return...and we live 2 blocks away.
Go Somewhere Else!
My husband and I took out his little sister for dinner. They ordered Chicken Parmigiana for $16.95 each. Both chicken breasts were BURNT and UNEATABLE. We complained to the waiter and waited for a manager to come by our table. No manager came by. We were CHARGED for both chicken dinners with two $3.25 cannolis on the house.
I couldn't believe the kitchen would serve burnt food and hide it under cheese and sauce like that. I couldn't believe the waiter didn't do more to make our dinner acceptable to eat. I couldn't believe no one cared.
They proudly put a 5 star rating on their door but don't back it up. AVOID THIS PLACE!
Indaco does not disappoint unless you want greasy pizza and saucy pasta. It is fun to order many dishes, one at a time, and share with your table. The pizza is great, the aged prosciutto to die for, and the wine list offers something for everyone(and at a reasonable price point). I have been there three times and have ordered new dishes each time. I have not found one that does not combine fresh ingredients in the most delightful ways. Kudos!
I was looking forward to some good Italian food and had been told that this was a great place by several coworkers.
We must've caught them on a bad night or my coworkers have really bad taste. The bread was stale and the spiced oil was just some dried herbs in the oil that did nothing to improve the flavor. We ordered a Caprese salad that was tasteless and lacking any visual appeal. The lettuce was Iceberg piled in the center with nothing added to the tomatoes or the mozzarella. We asked for some olive oil or balsamic and was brought some prepared italian dressing and were told that they didn't have any balsamic.
At this point, we decided to find somewhere else to eat.
The waitress, which tried to do a good job but spoke very little english was still trying to take our orders. The owner was standing in the dining room and we asked him to come over. He seemed disinterested in our comments and told us that they had good pasta dishes and that they didn't need any balsamic. He didn't offer any other comments about the food or service.
I hope that this a bad night but given the owners attitude, I have my doubts.
I'm posting in here as a reminder for myself to dine here; so:
Best Italian in Charleston! Fulton 5 and Pane Y Vino are great, but family night on Monday is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Amalfi's is like a hidden gem in Mt. Pleasant! It's in he back of the shopping center on longpoint. The owner is super friendly and his menu is actually authentic not a recreation. My family dined on a busy Monday night for kids night (kids ate free) and our service made us feel like we were in a five star restaurant! Brandon was really good. We will definately return!
I haven't been but the comments convinced me to go when I go back ..I love Italian food.Do you have one at Myrtle Beach?
Bacco is my go-to Italian restaurant in the Charleston area. I have been there many times and have never been disappointed by the food, drinks, or service. I tend to be very picky with Italian food, after living in Italy for a short time. Chef Michael is an expert at recreating and reinventing many of the traditional Italian dishes I love. I especially enjoy his ability to prepare perfect hand made pasta cooked Al dente, as it should be. His main courses are also quite amazing, and we look forward to creative specials like the seared lamb neck. While you are there, make sure you give the home made limoncello a try. I look forward to my next visit. Ciao!
Four ratings, 3 one-star, 1 two-star. True average rating: 1.25 stars.
So why does it rate 2.2 stars?
Things wrong from my visit last summer (and only visit).
1. Wait staff took over 10 minutes to say hello to the table (We, a 4 top, were 1 of 4 tables so they weren't weeded)
2. So much dust and crud on the walls that it was NASTY to look at.
3. Lack of management intervention during a scuffle between two employees. Curse words flew rampant out of one guys mouth involved in the scuffle.
4. Wait staff (all four servers), hostess and bartender stayed by the bar and talked the whole time. Drinks stayed empty and the cook had to walk the food out due to our "server" chatting at the bar.
5. Management promised gift certificates mailed due to our horrible experience to make up for the scuffled witnessed but they never came.
6. Food was marginal at best.
7. The best part was the cook who walked our food out and checked on us 2x due to our waiter loving to chat with other workers.
I've run a restaurant and I never would have allowed this lack of service to take place. I will never go there again and when friends ask, I am very honest about my experience there.
Nastiest lasagna....how do they stay open? Gross.
I wouldn't waste your Restaurant week meal here. The carpaccio and tuna were pretty flavorless, the pasta and short rib entrees were pretty good, but nothing to lure me back there. The dessert that they brought was awful. It was a chocolate covered strawberry (that didn't even taste very good), a few berries soaked in liqueur, and the tiniest apple dumpling I had ever seen. I mean.. couldn't you do a Cannoli or something? All I could think about on the way home was that pint of Ben & Jerry's waiting for me in the fridge. They lured me with their deliciously described menu, but when it came down to it, the execution fell short.
Wow! On Saturday night we had one of the best meals we've ever had in Charleston at Al Di La.
Wow. Al di la is hands down the best Italian food in Charleston. Great food, atmosphere, and staff. Highly recommend the pork and lamb dishes while you are there paired with something from their wine menu. SO GOOD. This restaurant will definitely be a repeat visit on my next trip to Charleston.
My husband and I first went to Bacco a few months ago (after passing it numerous times and saying "we need to try that place!"). It was everything we had hoped for and more. The bread is magical - very crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The half-carafe of red wine is tasty and reasonably priced. The fettuccini alfredo is full of flavor but not as heavy as others I've had/ But the star of the place for me is the PAPPARDELLE AL TELEFONO. So simple, yet so amazing. It's just pappardelle pasta with house-made mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil, but it's probably the best tomato sauce I've ever had. It's a dish I dreamed about afterwards. We've now made it somewhat of a tradition to go for a date night on Friday night when we're in town. I can't say enough good things about this place! You absolutely have to try it!
A disappointment. Lighting so dim made it very hard to read the menu. Brushchetta app only so-so. The antipasto tray for $16 had only a few lackluster tidbits. Place ran out of BREAD! A few hard pieces at our table, that was it.
While some at my table enjoyed their food, several did not...when a patron tried to discuss with owner, he was VERY rude to her...never, never is this acceptable, guy.
Just lost our patronage on a permanent basis.
Fulton Five is my favorite restaurant. The food is delicious, the staff is wonderful and the dining area is lovely.
its been awhile but I have been to Alessandra's many times and I do not understand why there are no stars for the rating. The fettucine alfredo is superb! It tastes so fresh, you can tell that there is the freshest cream and butter in the sauce. They have one of the best tiramisius around. It is a very pleasant quiet spot for great food and service!

Event | Location | Venue | Date |
Bill Cosby will head out on the touring circuit in during 2013. Cosby will have shows in cities all throughout the United States. Find tickets to a Bill Cosby show near you and get ready to see one of the biggest names in stand-up!
Bill Cosby was born on July 12, 1937, in West Philadelphia, PA. His first album, Bill Cosby Is a Very Funny Fellow...Right!, won him a large following, as did 1964's Grammy-winning I Started Out as a Child. The rising star landed a role in I Spy, an action television show that aired during the 1960s. In the early 1970s, Cosby was in the process of pursuing a Masters degree in education when he became involved with an educational public broadcast series entitled The Electric Company, which he starred in from 1971-1973. The next year, Cosby created an animated television series called "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids." The show had a very successful run, and Cosby used it as the subject of his doctoral dissertation in the mid-1970s.
In 1984, The Cosby Show debuted and became not only Cosby's greatest success to date, but also one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. Based on Cosby's own life, the show ushered in a new era of sitcoms and proved a show could feature a predominately African-American cast. After The Cosby Show ended, Bill embarked on a number of new projects including movies, documentaries, game shows, and books. Among other works, he appeared in I Spy Returns, Cosby, and Jack. His most recent comedy albums include 2004's The Bill Cosby Collection and 2008's State of Emergency and Keep Standing.
Cosby has remained committed to performing the same type of live shows that made him a star. So get your chance to see one of the world's most talented comedians as Bill Cosby takes the stage.

Mimosa Grill
Online Reservations
The Mimosa Grill might be the most underrated restaurant in uptown Charlotte. We went during restaurant week for dinner, four adults and an almost 2 year old, after switching our reservations to try something different. The food was amazing (my wife declared the halibut was the best meal she'd ever had...and she's an ex caterer). Adam, our server, was knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing and the ambience was terrific. It took a little too long for our food to arrive, but it was restaurant week and the fact that we had the little squirmer with us might have made it seem longer than it was. It will definitely be on our "regulars" list from now on.
Awesome brunch! Great selection. The staff is awesome as well. Particularly CJ, Holly and Adam.
We had the brunch. Everything was tasty and it was not the typical brunch foods. I will definitely go back.
Three of us were coming to Charlotte for a meeting and the fourth person was a friend that we had not had commuication with in 40 years who lived Charlotte. It was the last night of "The Queen's Feast" restaurant week. The food and service at Mimosa Grill was spectacular. All four of us wanted the peach cobbler for desert, but by the time for the dessert course, they were out of the cobbler. We ordered other desserts and after they came, our wonderful server, Kathryn, brought a serving of cobbler for the table! Great service, food & wine.
Couldn't locate valet, so had to drop date a curb and then find parking an huff it. Enjoyed dining outside with view of sky line. Food was good and had an interesting presentation. Portions were relatively small but satisfying. Dessert portion seemed small. Had a great time and will likely return. Only reel complaint was the bugs/gnats with the outside dining.... suggest some type of candles or something to control the gnats.
We keep going back to Mimosa for the food; I love the trout and my husband thought the ribs were tender and flavorful. We like the atmosphere with the windows looking out over the patio and fountains. It is one of the few restaurants where we can actually hear each other because the noise level is usually low. We are going twice this week because of theater tickets and it is convenient to the Knight and the Blumenthal.
Another show uptown equals getting a great meal at Mimosa Grill. My husband and I can always count on getting local ingredients, highlighted flavor of the season dinner.
Mimosa never fails to serve great food and knows their clients well. We love to go to the Grill before the shows at the theater because they know how to get you a great meal and get you out on time to get to the Belk in plenty of time. Love the fish specials and the wine list. Never a bad experience.
Food was great, service was great, location was great! They use local products, Sunday brunch was fabulous. Just enough options and the walnut crusted french toast was awesome!!
Mimosa Grill was a lovely spot for dinner, just what we were hoping. We were visiting our daughter and her boyfriend in Charlotte and had dinner out on the deck. My mother had two appetizers for dinner: the fried oysters (I tasted them, they were fantastic!) and the mussels (also wonderful). I had the flank steak with mashed potatoes. Darling daughter had the trout, and I can't remember what boyfriend and boyfriend's sister had. In any case, all of the food was wonderful, the waitstaff was lovely. We had a wonderful experience. We would definitely go back if we make it back to Charlotte!
Seasonal and local. The Kale caesar salad was divine. We both had the lamb for the mains on the recommendation of the server and we were sooooo pleased! Will definitely go back!!
Great service, nice facilities, amazing chef. Strongly recommend the lamb. The best ever.
The food was superb. Our Waiter, Adam, was out standing. He went out of his way to offer beer choices. He also told us, and showed us, how to go to Blumenthal Thearer by an inside route thus keeping us out of the rain.
Good service, great seasonal menu. Everything was absolutely delicious -- the home made biscuits, tomato soup, tomato salad, chicken and the scallop special -- best meal in a long time! We will be going back soon! What a pleasant surprise for a local chain.
My friend and I had a wonder Brunch before we went to the Theater to see the Lion King. Superb food!!!
Great dinner to help celebrate. Food was excellent! The lobster Mac & cheese was amazing. A good deal of lobster, including to big claw pieces. Very rich, and perfect to share. The scallops and shrimp jumbalaya was also very good. Half priced bottle of wine was also a nice suprise. Free valet parking is a plus also Will be going back!
Mimosa is a great value and because of that it keeps me coming back. Lunches are reasonably priced for the high-quality food you receive. I'm more apt to lunch uptown because of Mimosa Grill!
Another great dinner experience here with coworker. Hummus was tasty, appetizers great. Enjoyed daily fish special Amberjack, perfectly prepared, moist and flavorful. Will be back again.
This restaurant never fails; everytime I come with different diners, the experience is always great. The service is extremely good, with knowledgeable staff and fantastic food!
Everything about this restaurant was amazing. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing location! I would highly recommend this to anyone.
My husband and I were in Charlotte for a convention and needed a break from the crowd. We were given a recommendation from our concierge on a number of restaurants in the downtown area, but one look at the menu of this restaurant and I was sold. I consider myself a "foodie" from the San Francisco area and I was not disappointed. We will definitely return at our next convention.
Each time that I have been to Mimosa Grill has been a wonderful experience. The chef does some delicious things with some of my favorite foods. And that makes me adventurous to try things that don't sound so familiar. My husband and I went in celebration of our anniversary this past weekend and the George's Bank Scallops were outstanding on their parsnip puree bed....and the brussels sprouts finished with what I think was a brown sugar pecan mix in a baby cast iron skillet were a great complement to the dish. I tried the grilled salad (yum) and my husband loved his kale ceasar - especially because it included white anchovies... go there. This is a place where the food, the service and the atmosphere are consistently great.
The Mimosa Grill is at the top of my list for business lunches in uptown Charlotte. When traveling on business there's one thing you want from your restaurants: no surprises! The food and service are always spot-on.
Each course was a delight - creative and well executed. The wait staff was personable, without being intrusive and the outdoor dining was pleasant. $13 for the "perfect" margarita was silly (a lot of ice in that little glass!), but nothing else about the meal was anything to raise an eyebrow about! Great dining at a reasonable price.
We enjoyed the Sunday brunch before a Panthers game. The food was very good - hot, fresh, lots of variety. We were even given the option of ordering anything we wanted from a tapas menu - the walnut-encrusted French toast was amazing! The weather was perfect, so we opted for an outdoor table. (My only complaint was the noise from an outdoor party going on across the street, but that's not Mimosa's fault.) I can't wait to go back for lunch or dinner and see what we discover from a different menu!
We enjoyed every bit of our experience at Mimosa. We were in Charlotte for a convention at the time and wanted to explore the city life... Mimosa was recommended by others at the convention who were a day ahead of us and they too, could not speak more highly of the restaurant in all aspects. Mike our waiter was very attentive, as was others on staff who looked after our every need.
Delicious assortment of breakfast and lunch items. Will definitely return!
First time for dinner at Mimosa Grill. We had a party of 7 which gathered for a work dinner. The waiter, Alan, was attentive and knowledgable. Four of our party had steak (two center cut, two flank), one had duck (first time for him), one had salmon, and I had shrimp and grits (first time for me). Everyone said their meal was outstanding. For appetizers we had lobster mac & cheese and the cajun hush puppies. Both were fantastic. Overall, a very good dining experience and I would definitely go back again.
We ate at Mimosa Grill late on a Friday evening. The atmosphere was the first thing I noticed. It's southern charm with a touch of modern appeal makes it warm and inviting. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The food was to die for. It was one of the best meals I've ever had in Charlotte and everything down to the accents on my plate were perfectly cooked and delicious. I was extremely pleased with the total experience we had at Mimosa Grill and will definitely be back.
The menu was fantastic. Full of very different items. Everything we ordered was fantastic. Great service. Walking distance to the Knights Theatre which is also great.
Great Southern food with an eclectic flai, drawing upon local and fresh ingredients with a sophisticated approach. The food was prepared perfectly. I had a North Carolina trout encrusted with pecans that was exquisite in taste and texture. My wife had short ribs that fell apart to the touch and were served over risotto that was perfect. The salads were unique with extremely fresh ingredients. We sat outside and the atmosphere was very romantic. Excellent value.
Gourmet food, friendly and energetic wait staff, cheery and classy ambiance - a wonderful food experience. Couldn't ask for more.
I've been here for brunch and I thought I needed to be rolled out with the amount of food I ate! Everything was delicious and perfect. This time, went for my birthday dinner and it was unbelievably amazing! I love the food, I probably could have licked my short ribs plate. Our server was consistent with checking on us, along with the manager coming around asking how the food was. So friendly and a relaxing atmosphere. Definitely worth the $$ and would come again.
Our table got a lot of different appetizers to sample because they all looked delicious. They did not disappoint, especially the lobster mac and cheese.
My friends and stumbles upon this gem as we wanted a place to eat before going to a concert that incorporated food fit for both meat lovers and a vegetarian. We found the menu at the Mimosa Grill pleasing to all of our preferences. We were able to be seated early and the service was excellent. We waited no time for our appetizer and by the time we had finished we had our entrees. My flank steak was cooked to perfection and the portions were just right. Our waiter was very professional and efficient. He made sure we were out in time to make our concert, but not before we finished a succulent dessert. Everything was perfect and I would definitely return if I am ever in Charlotte again.
Gathered with friends for brunch. Their first-time, my third. I keep bringing friends and out-of-town guests to enjoy the choices- shrimp & grits,walnut french toast & the quiche of the day--Delish!!
Penny, our waitress, was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable of both food and beverages, and perfectly attentive. The restaurant is beautiful - lots of stone and wood and lovely lighting. What a menu! The squash soup was so good we were tempted to lick the bowl. The stuffed hush puppies appetizer was fabulous. My husband had the shrimp and grits - perhaps the best I've ever tested- and I had the scallops with the sorghum glazed Brussels sprouts. All divine. The Brussels sprouts -- holy cow! If I could replicate they recipe in my own kitchen, I would serve that dish for every holiday and celebration gathering we ever have. My only disappointment is that I had zero room for dessert. I can only imagine.... We will definitely be back!
This was a great experience. The waitress was helpful and very nice. The food was great. And the atmosphere was calm quiet and enjoyable.
Had an absolutely incredible time at Mimosa Grill. Our waiter and the manager made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant, even though it was a busy Saturday evening! Highly, highly recommend Mimosa Grill. We cannot wait to go back!
We shared a chef's selection of cheeses, meats, served with Carrs crackers and restaurant bruschetta. One had bits of truffle, another herbs, goat cheese, a gouda, but my favorite was a local white cheddar - slightly crumbly to cut, but creamy and slightly sharp to taste - delicious! Our meals ranged from duck to filet, to flank steak; shrimp and chicken. All enjoyed the meals; they came artfully arranged, using local products. The service staff was friendly and efficient. We began with a zinfandel, and ended with a cabernet sauvignon. Recommend for groups or romantic twosomes. Very nice!
this is a great restaurant all around. It is my favorite!
Great restaurant. Great food. Great service. Have enjoyed Mimosa for almost 20 years and will hopefully enjoy it for many more.
I looked at numerous uptown Charlotte restaurants to make reservations at before the Eagles concert in Charlotte and this one looked promising (close to TWC Arena and reservations available at 6). I am so glad that I chose it! Excellent food, wonderfully prepared and beautifully presented. And with one of the nicest wait staff we have ever encountered. They have a gem in the guy from Buffalo. Food was delicious and we were in and out in time to make the 3 block walk to the Arena. Fabulous night!
Went for brunch and it was excellent! Great customer service and ambience!
Have taken out of town business guests here as well as stopped in for a nice date night. It is a very comfortable, upscale spot with great food.
Good location in Uptown Charlotte. Nice atmosphere, food is outstanding, pretty extensive wine list. The scallop and tuna entrees were both delicious. It's not cheap but it is worth the price.
Great menu! So may termpting selectio to decide.ns it's difficult
Good downtown restaurant for later walk to occasion. Reservation request was honored and sat by a nice window with a table that was the correct size. The service was quite good and pleasant. It is my second time here. They do a nice job in splitting a meal and prepare the split plates with a good presentation. They need to keep up the good work since their meals are large. It was not noisy which is a problem with these restaurants at times. The noise needs to stay in the bar.
Can't say enough good things. Food was outstanding, service was great. Can't wait to go back.
Made reservations for before the game and it did not disappoint. Some of the most creative and delicious food we have had in a long time. And we also found a new favorite wine.
