Inviting Writing: Thankful for a Tolerant Spouse
For this month's Inviting Writing, we asked for stories about thanksgiving, with or without the capital T. Stories about the holiday, being thankful for a certain food, or edible expressions of gratitude. Our first story comes from Hope Yancey, a freelance writer in Charlotte, North Carolina. She is thankful for a relationship that thrives in spite of food.
The Bacon is Faux, but the Love is Real
By Hope Yancey
The smell of vegetarian bacon aromatizing our kitchen as it steams up the microwave is enough to send my husband running the other way fast. He would probably classify the assault on his nostrils as a pungent odor rather than a mere smell. I heat my strips of veggie bacon for breakfast, sometimes enjoying them accompanied by eggs or arranged on a sandwich roll with a little Miracle Whip and dash of black pepper. Served over toast and sliced tomatoes and topped with prepared cheese sauce, it makes a nice version of Welsh rarebit for an easy lunch or supper.
We have a long and storied history with veggie bacon in our relationship. It was one of the first meals I cooked for my husband after we met about 11 years ago. He kindly pretended to savor it, only confiding much later how truly unpleasant he found my morning meal of choice. I'm sure he wondered what other gustatory delights awaited him in his future. Maybe it's an acquired taste, but I like the stuff. I harbor no delusions that it tastes like real bacon, though I wouldn't really be qualified to say because that's a flavor I haven't experienced for myself since at least 1990. It doesn't particularly bother me that veggie bacon's texture is such that it fails to crisp, hardening instead. No matter: What it lacks in authenticity, it compensates for in other ways.
Veggie bacon served its purpose, as it proved to be the gateway to a string of other meat substitutes my generous husband would go on to bravely endure in the name of love. There's been veggie sausage (patties and links), veggie hot dogs, veggie burgers and much more. He views some products more favorably than others. Veggie corn dogs, like veggie bacon, are decidedly not a favorite of his, but for different reasons in each case: "The veggie bacon definitely smells the worst. It's just outright offensive. And the corn dogs taste the worst," he said recently. Harsh. Fortunately, he does have an affinity for some of the veggie meatballs he's tried. All is not lost.
Carnivorous lunches with one of his brothers represent a brief but regular weekday reprieve for him. He indulges in foreign meals that are scarce in our household—things like turkey sandwiches, ham and sausage calzones and delicious Teriyaki chicken, all made with actual meat. While he's toiling away at the office, I'm able to luxuriate in my veggie bacon with abandon. As I pull the familiar, slim package from the freezer, I can be secure in the knowledge that the aroma in the air should have ample time to diminish before his arrival home. It was a revelation for me that there also are homemade versions of veggie bacon out there; that's a whole new delicacy waiting to be discovered. It could be a game-changer.
In the meantime, I'm thankful for a husband who tolerates my self-imposed dietary restrictions so gracefully and occasionally even joins me in a meat alternative. I feel like a wife ought to do more to demonstrate her gratitude. I should really bake him a cake. Was that a recipe I saw online for frosted maple-bacon cupcakes garnished with pieces of veggie bacon?

Inviting Writing: Thanksgiving
After a month of reconciliation stories, it's time to move on to a new Inviting Writing theme. For November, we turn to the subject on many minds: Thanksgiving, with or without the capital T. Whether you have a story about the holiday meal itself, being thankful about something related to food, or edible expressions of gratitude, we want to hear it. Send your true, original essays to firstname.lastname@example.com, along with a couple of biographical details (name, location, personal blog URL if you have one) before November 11. We'll read them all and post our favorites over the next few Mondays.
I'll get things started.
You May Find Yourself in Another Part of the World
By Lisa Bramen
Every so often I have a David Byrne moment. I'm referring to the Talking Heads frontman who, in the song "Once in a Lifetime," asks, "Well, how did I get here?"
One of those moments was a couple of weeks ago, as I sat around a bonfire at the pig roast and potluck dinner being thrown in the parking lot of the local motel, eating deviled eggs and baked beans and listening to my neighbors discuss the merits of various forms of home heating—a frequent topic of conversation in these northerly parts.
Seven years ago, I was still living in Los Angeles, drinking appletinis or mojitos or whatever was then in vogue, in bars where the talk often centered on the machinations of Hollywood. I hated my job in advertising. I hated my life. So, as I chuckled to myself about the strange twists of fate that brought me to an aging motel's parking lot on a frigid October evening, my follow-up thought wasn't, as in the song, "My god, what have I done?" It was, "Thank God."
The motel is one of only a handful of businesses in my small hamlet in the Adirondack Mountains. The others are a post office, an upholstery shop that doubles as a music and theater venue called the Recovery Lounge, and the library (not technically a business, I know). There used to be an antiques barn and a bakery that was open only on summer weekends, but they, along with about a dozen houses—including the home of the widow of late toy designer/theme park pioneer Arto Monaco—were destroyed when Hurricane Irene veered inland this August and caused the Ausable River, which runs through the center of town, to rise some 12 feet above flood stage. Thankfully, no one died in the flood, save a retired amusement park pony named Pickles, who was swept away in spite of the valiant rescue efforts of my neighbor. But in a community of less than 200 people, it was a major blow.
Still, having lived through larger catastrophes elsewhere—I was in college in San Francisco during the 1989 earthquake and in Southern California during the 1994 Northridge earthquake—I can say with confidence that no one does disaster relief like a small town. Since the flood, nearly every weekend has had some kind of aid event: a firewood donation drive, library clean-up parties, fundraising concerts. The potluck and pig roast was one of them.
I've lived in this place for two years now, and I already know far more of my neighbors than I did in any of the cities or suburbs where I lived for up to 10 years. These neighbors come from all different backgrounds, many quite different from my own, though most are good company around a bonfire. Many of them know how to do something useful in an emergency—wield a chain saw, fix a generator, bake a half-dozen pies. Quite a few volunteer on the local fire department or ambulance squad; they helped rescue stranded homeowners from the flood.
I sometimes miss things about city life—not least the availability of good, multi-ethnic food. But all things considered, I'm just fine with deviled eggs and baked beans. Even thankful.

Inviting Writing: Making Peace with Pumpkin
For this month's Inviting Writing, we asked for stories about food and reconciliation. The range of responses was surprising: We heard about a failure of familial reconciliation, a longstanding family disagreement about bologna on the wall, and today Somali Roy reveals her fraught relationship with pumpkin and reminds us of the usefulness of younger siblings. Roy is a freelance writer in Singapore who has previously written about her relationship with her (mother-in-law's) kitchen and the joys of eating in a Kolkata cafeteria.
Giving Second Chances
By Somali Roy
At a very early age I came upon the profound wisdom that siblings, especially younger ones, are tiny minions sent by God to make growing up easy and entertaining. I engaged mine as a playmate when friends weren't around and would occasionally bully her. But mostly I used her as a means to escape eating unfavored food by shoving it onto her plate when nobody was looking. And that condemned food, which my sister grew up obliviously consuming in copious amounts, was pumpkin.
Unfortunately, because it was my mother's favorite, there was no escaping this soppy, milquetoast, gourd-like squash. I liked to characterize vegetables as people with real feelings. "Pumpkin is not assertive. It has no defining taste or character—it's mild, squishy and uninviting," I ranted. Being opinionated and judgmental about vegetables certainly didn't help. Wasting even a mote of pumpkin under my mother's supervision was sacrilege, so I had to improvise.
There were several variants of pumpkin dishes cooked in our house, mostly influenced by traditional East Indian recipes. Two of them that were remote possibilities for my palate were Kumro Sheddho (boiled and mashed pumpkin seasoned with salt, mustard oil and chopped green chilies) and Kumro Bhaja (thinly sliced pumpkin dredged in batter and deep fried). Both recipes successfully masked the pumpkin taste that I so resented. Anything other than these was offloaded on my sister, who was too hypnotized by the cartoons on TV to notice the pile on her plate.
When college started, I moved to another city and lodged with my grandmother. She, I discovered, nursed an even greater love for the vegetable. My days were peppered with pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. I missed my sister terribly. Once again I was forced to improvise. I offered to help my grandmother with her chores, and the responsibility of grocery shopping was readily relinquished to me. Starting then, the pumpkin supply at the local bazaar suffered, either due to untimely monsoons or truck strikes and roadblocks or just bad crops—whichever excuse suited my whim. I was thankful that my grandmother never compared notes with her neighbors.
Two decades passed in successfully dodging and evading this vegetable in a world that's enamored with pumpkin so much that it's used as a term of endearment: I love you, my Pumpkin. How was your day, Pumpkin? Come to dinner, Pumpkin Pie. It may be the 40th most beautiful word in the English language (according to a survey by British Council), but I knew I wouldn't have coped well with this moniker.
However, December 2008 had different plans for me. We were relocating to another country and it was my last Christmas in Munich. The day before our office was closing down for holidays, a colleague invited me to share her homemade lunch—a steaming bowl of pumpkin soup. My heart sank. Already burdened with the pain of leaving a city I had come to love, I definitely did not need "pumpkin soup for my frayed soul" to lift up the mood.
There wasn't enough time to Google pumpkin-induced allergies (if any) that I could fake. So I obliged my host and perched myself on the kitchen chair, staring haplessly at the bowl for an entire minute. There was nothing else to do except take that huge leap of faith. The rich, creamy taste, mildly sweet with a hint of cumin and ginger spiked with a dash of lemon was not something I was expecting at all. While going for a second helping, I double-checked that it was genuinely pumpkin, in case I didn't hear it right. Could it be carrot or yam? She assured me it wasn't, so I asked for the recipe.
Thus began a phase when I ordered only pumpkin soups for appetizers while eating out. The result was undisputed. Pumpkin finally redeemed itself and bagged a one-way entry ticket to my humble kitchen. When I made my first pumpkin soup using my colleague's recipe, it was sensational and a comforting reminder that giving second chances are worthwhile. As for my sibling, she grew up to love pumpkin—whether on her own accord or as a result of intervention remains ambiguous.

Inviting Writing: Reading the Bologna on the Wall
For this month's Inviting Writing, we asked for stories about food and reconciliation—reconciliation with a food or a loved one, or even a food-related failure of reconciliation. Today's story comes from Kelly Robinson, a freelance writer for Mental Floss, Curve and other magazines, and the author of an earlier Inviting Writing essay about addiction to Tab. She blogs about books and writing at Book Dirt, and can tell you without equivocation that she didn't do it.
The Case of the Criminal Lunch Meat
By Kelly Robinson
I read nostalgic food memoirs with a skeptical eye, especially the ones that are sweet as cotton candy unicorns. They're true, I suppose, but the Norman Rockwell-esque scenes just don't jibe with some of the most memorable moments at table with my family.
Sure, we had our share of dinnertime jollies—my toddler sister eating mountains of chicken livers because she was told they were chocolate cake, for example—but they're so easily eclipsed by images of things like my Aunt Nancy in a white nightgown, covered from top to bottom with blood-red beet juice. I've never seen Carrie in its entirety. I don't need to.
There's also my other sister, who spilled her drink at something like 3,057 consecutive dinners, giving our mother fits that left no tooth ungnashed. Our mother seethed just as much when we had guests one night and the lid to the butter dish was removed to reveal the Twisted Sister logo my metalhead brother had carved there.
And then there was the incident of the gritloaf, which I've promised my mother never to speak of again.
The real family drama, though, the one that surpasses even metal bands in the butter or horror movie nightgowns, involves a single slice of bologna. It was 1979. My sister, brother and I were anticipating our mother's arrival home, and for once, we scrambled to make sure things were in order: no plastic bags tied to the cat, no stray Weebles on the floor. We were neatly lined up on the couch, wondering what stunt Yogi Kudu would pull next on "That's Incredible!"
Mom walked in, surveyed the room slowly, then stopped suddenly and screeched: Who put the bologna on the wall?!
And there was, indeed, a single slice of bologna, red plastic ring outlining its shiny meat circle, adhered to the wall, slightly above and to the right of the television set. The denials came in rapid fire, and once the interrogation was well underway it was clear that none of us seemed to have done it. None of us admitted it, anyway.
I don't recall the actual punishment. I may have blocked some it out of my mind, but I know it was severe. I'm sure we were grounded for life plus twenty years and cut off of Little Debbie snack cakes. We probably didn't get to watch "That's Incredible!" that night, either.
The bologna game of whodunit still rages today, and it rages hard. We're now entering our fourth decade of pointing fingers and making accusations. You'd think someone would be mature enough to cop to it, but no one has ever cracked, and whoever it was, the other two of us didn't witness the deed.
The feud still rages, yes, but the more time passes, the more the feud bonds us rather than divides us. We're parents of children who have moved out of state or joined the Army. We work in very different fields. We sometimes go months without seeing or talking to each other. But, come holiday time, when we're all in one room for what might be the only time until next year, there is no conversation so awkward or silence so deep that it can't be completely turned around with the question, "So who really put the bologna on the wall?"
I fume. I didn't even like the smell of bologna, I insist. My sister points the finger at my brother, who is my prime suspect this year. He thinks it was me, and that my dislike of lunch meat smell is a lifelong cover story.
It might seem odd by some family's standards, but it's how we communicate, and there's comfort in knowing that's how we always will.
I've always wondered if a deathbed confession might be what it would take to ultimately solve the mystery, but it hardly matters. In fact, it's far more likely that one of us would slowly wheeze and cough out last words from the hospital bed and say, "I-i-i-i-i-t wasn't m-e-e-e-e-e-e-e."
The only proper response from the rest of us would be, "We love you too."

Inviting Writing: Sorry I Took Your Son
For this month's Inviting Writing, we asked for stories about food and reconciliation: how food repaired a relationship of some sort—or didn't, despite your best efforts. Our first essay comes from Alexia Nader, a graduate journalism student at New York University and a freelance writer.
How Do You Apologize in Italian?
By Alexia Nader
I was up to my elbows in raw ground beef, anchovy paste, capers and onions, and completely panicked. "Call your mother now and tell them that dinner is going to be late, tell them to wait an hour," I yelled to my boyfriend Marco as my chest sank—I had already ceded complete success. It's bad form to show your dinner guests the frenzy of preparing a big meal; when they enter the door, the cook should have everything under control in the kitchen and look calm and composed. I was walking around the kitchen barefoot with frizzy hair and no make-up, wearing Marco's dead aunt's ancient apron and sweating profusely in the August heat. But I was determined to put on the table the meal that I had traveled two hours to Marco's tiny hometown of Russi, Italy to prepare. It was my last plea for Marco's family to forgive me for stealing their son away to America.
Two days before the Sunday lunch, I gleefully sketched out a list of dishes and ingredients for the meal. Having just returned from a month-long, self-guided exploration of Basque France and Bordeaux, I had foie gras confit in my pantry and memories of gambas and steak tartare at the forefront of my mind. What really determined my menu choices, though, was my refusal to make Italian food for Marco's family after attending one inimitable lunch at Marco's grandmother's house. I could never compete with her four courses, honed to perfection by hundreds of years of Emilia-Romagna tradition—the antipasti were diaphanous slices of mortadella, prosciutto and coppa; cappelletti in brodo, puffy lunettes of fresh filled pasta that were the product of hours of painstaking craft, floated in a savory pork broth for our primi; tender and hearty roast rabbit with mashed potatoes followed; cake, coffee, and sorbet felt like a symphonic coda. Much of the same audience would soon be eating my food. I wanted to dazzle them with the exact opposite of rustic, traditional cuisine: an understated meal that, for them, would evoke both the exotic and urbane.
The attraction of the unknown had worked well when I first started dating Marco three years earlier. I was studying abroad in Bologna. He was an engineering student, precise and methodical in his thinking, shy and naïve—the complete opposite of the quick-talking city people that I usually befriended. Some months into the relationship, I learned that he came from a family of farmers. His uncle still owned a peach grove where Marco picked peaches for ten euros a day every summer, and his grandmother was the type of person who could wring a chicken's neck for dinner without batting an eye and pick out a ripe cantaloupe by rapping on its tough rind.
On our first date my lack of an extensive Italian vocabulary prevented us from talking about most of our interests, except for one—our obsession with trying new food. I learned that Marco would try any dish at least once and, despite his hometown's lack of foreign restaurants, had discovered and fallen in love with Japanese food. He learned that my childhood—living in Miami among people from all over Latin America and the Caribbean—had given me this compulsive need to sample and cook with as many flavors as I could get my hands on.
For our many meals together in my cramped apartment, I cooked everything but Italian food—lentil lettuce wraps, arroz con pollo, tacos al pastor, panang curry—all dishes that made his eyes widen in surprise upon experiencing a flavor he had never known existed. I got an immense feeling of satisfaction when he called his mother and excitedly told her what new food he had just tried. He had lived for 19 years eating an unadulterated form of his regional cuisine; I relished corrupting his palate with my bastardized, global cooking repertoire. Marco was a convert, but his family, whose members had never been on an airplane or lived outside the humble, rural province of Ravenna, wouldn't be so easily won over.
I decided on a three-course menu: mâche salad with foie gras, black grapes, and balsamic drizzle; steak tartare with toast points and truffle oil; and a fruit salad. These choices were a product of many hours staring off into space and mentally aligning different factors: the season, how hungry Marco's family would probably be at 4 p.m., the late afternoon heat, how much truffle oil would cost and the day of the week. When I was growing up, Sunday was when we ate a Lebanese version of steak tartare called kebbeh nayeh; I planned on telling Marco's family this as I set the plates of tartare on the table.
When Marco's family arrived at the apartment at 5:00, the tartare was setting in the refrigerator, my balsamic glaze had reduced and I had conscripted Marco for the duty of brushing slices of bread with truffle oil. Marco's father and brother gathered around the table that I had set up near the balcony, trying to keep their fidgeting inconspicuous. Marco's mother offered to help out in the kitchen. I burst out with a sharp no, and immediately stopped short, telling myself that subjecting your boyfriend's mother to your control-freak cooking tendencies is not a step in the right direction. I brought out the courses, spread them family-style around the table, sat down, and tried to loosen up with a big gulp of prosecco.
There is one key element of a successful meal that can't be planned in advance—lively, continuous conversation. Even though Marco's family ate everything on the table, the unfamiliar food made them uncomfortable. I gradually understood that, for Marco's family, casual conversation was not appropriate for a fancy meal. They ate their foie gras and truffled toast points in silence, save for a few comments about how fresh the meat tasted and what a nice touch the balsamic glaze was. I tried to stimulate small talk but my attention was divided between eating my food and spying on everyone's plates to see how much they were eating.
That the food was too strange and foreign was as much of a white elephant as the fact that the meal was meant as an apology. I was the reason that Marco was leaving his family; no amount of pleasure that could be garnered from my impeccably planned meal could obscure my role in the matter. My first try at mending bridges with food failed. I realized that, for a meal to meld, both the diners and the cook need to put their ideas of what the food should be and mean aside, and simply eat. Had we done that, we would have been a happy group of four Italians and one American interloper, enjoying some delicious summer fare on a sticky August afternoon.

Waterman Grille
Online Reservations
I always enjoy dining at Waterman's Grille and recently brough an out of state client there. Everyone at our tabel raved about their individual dishes. The price fixed menu Sun thru Wednesday is reasonable and definitely a draw. It works because it gets me and husband to go out early in the week.
Safely poised 20 ft above the Seekonk river in Providence on the site of an old bridge you can dine outstandingly on fish or meat. There is a very acceptably priced set menu, a wide range of a la carte items and a good wine list. Definitely worth a visit.
We frequent the Waterman Grille often. Great and easy parking, nice ambiance, good food and usually good service. It was a very busy Saturday evening and the restaurant was very loud which made it difficult to visit. Our server, Raina, was the hardest working server we had ever seen and took care of us and all her customers with a smile. Our food was excellent. I had the Salmon on a bed of lentils and the others had the special Shrimp dish. We all raved about it.
My husband and I have been to the Waterman Grille many times and decided to join some friends for dinner on Saturday. The ambiance is charming and warm and the service was excellent. I ordered the Statler chicken (which I've had before) but was disappointed with the flavor and texture of the meat. However, the Wateman salad as a starter was great. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin which was slightly overcooked, although the accompanying bean ragout was delicious. The restaurant was very busy that night, so it was a bit noisy.
Wonderful meal in a wonderful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and we will return again. Everything we ate was perfectly prepared and very tasty.
We went for my honey's birthday. The service was excellent and we really enjoyed the dining on the deck along the Seekonk River. Our server was very polite, friendly and really attentive we really appreciated her! The FOOD was EXCELLENT and we will be back. We started off with a Caesar Salad and Cornmeal Crusted Oysters. For entrees we had Bacon Blue Cheese Buttered Filet Mignon with Swiss Chard and Mashed Yukon Golds and Roasted Lamb Shank with Feta Twice Baked Potato and Swiss Chard. I am not a lamb eater and I had to taste it...tender beyond belief and so robust with the flavors! My filet was excellent and cooked to perfection. We both finished off with a lovely Creme Brouille! Definitely going back!
We came to this restaurant for my husband's 30th birthday, and apparently several other people chose to do the same. The restaurant was bustling for a Thursday evening in September, but began to clear out around 8:30pm. They get most of their ingredients from local farmers and seafood places, and their food tastes very fresh. My husband had the lamb shank with the special risotto of the evening- garlic parmesan (I highly recommend!). I had the Altantic Salmon special with butternut squash, and a potato medley hash. The presentation of each dish was impeccable and our server was delightful, coming just frequently enough to make sure we wanted for nothing, but was not overbearing. I highly recommend this as a romantic evening out!
The food, service and atmosphere were great. We'll definitely be back.
We have been to this gem a number of times and each time we go it is better than the previous visit. We plan on having our wedding and reception there. Save the May date!!!
We had a wonderful dinner here last weekend. I wanted a romantic, waterfront spot and this was phenomenal! Service and food were great and the surprise champagne toast at the end of the night was fantastic. Staff made it a memorable night for us. Can't wait to go back. Bet it's just as great to sit outside for lunch.
Wonderful brunch but with a few minor suggestions. I had the eggs benedict and the hollandaise sause seemed to be lacking lemon. My husband had amazing sweetpotatoe and apple pancakes. Our friends had frittaa and anothe dish that was initially served incorrectly he had requested scrambled eggs and was served poached. However it was immediatly corrected Wish I could remember our servers name he was fantastic.
I'm always pleased with my dining experience at the Waterman Grille!
Received a gift card as part of Newport Restaurant Group so thought we would give it a try based on other reviewers. I had requested a window seat and they granted our request. Great views of the River. All of our appetizers were great. French onion soup was outstanding. We thought menu was a little limited but some good choices. Dinner was very good as were the desserts. Noise level was a little loud, but not unbearable. Overall a very nice experience. Our waiter Louie was very personable and an excellent server.
What a find! The service was fantastic, friendly wait staff. The menu offers an attractive array of food for food lovers. The prix fix menu is delightful at a very attractive price, with an option to add a bottle of wine for $5 when two or more order the prix fix menu.
Everything from the lobster roll to the braised beef with sweet potato gnocchi to the banana dessert w homemade toffee was absolutely amazing. Service was spectacular and view of water just added to the special nite.
Two recent visits both resulted in very enjoyable and memorable experiences. Food was very good to excellent and waite service was impeccable on each visit. Both visits included outdoor seating which is highly recommended whenever weather permits although indoor seating is also very attractive. Most recent waiter, Joseph, was beyond excellent and should be commended. I can't wait to return. Thanks Waterman Grille.
My husband and daughter took me for my birthday and everything was wonderful. The food was excellent and they even brought me a complimentary birthday dessert which was huge. We shared it and it was delicious. Everyone was very friendly. The best restaurant in the Newport Restaurant Group in my opinion.
Recommended by a waiter at another restaurant we like, Waterman Grill exceeded our expectations. Definitely a high energy place. While very busy, we found a seat at the bar, prompt service while we waited for our table. A fine wine list with good choices for By-the-Glass folks. Food was excellent and the waitress very accommodating and attentive. Right on the water (Seekonk River), we noticed there was outside dining opportunities, so guessing this place would really be hopping in the summer.
We actually very rarely get to spend any time in Providence, on our way to and from the Cape. But when we do, we put Waterman Grille on top of the list of things to do, and savor. From the cozy comfort of the building and dining areas, to the quality and deliciousness of the food, to the warmth and professionalism of the staff... they have the whole package. Our waiter Brian was the icing on the cake of a wonderful evening, making it absolutely perfect. Thank you to everyone at Waterman Grille.
Everything was terrific! I love going to this restaurant! It is always consistant with the food and the staff is great, they know there stuff! Thanks.
Chose this restaurant on a whim and couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The food was great, the service was great, and the ambiance was great. The fixed price menu was a super deal and we did not feel like we missed anything by choosing this on the menu - and my wallet was smiling afterwards!
Booked for a birthday dinner Waterman Grille did not disappoint the food was terrific, the sever was great.
My husband and I came here for our anniversary and found the food to be excellent. He has celiac disease, and we were very impressed with how seriously the staff took his need to avoid gluten. The gluten-free dining options were great, and he especially loved that he got a dinner roll with his meal - a rarity! We were surprised at the end of our meal with two glasses of (very good!) champagne in celebration of our special day. I really have no complaints at all, other than that our server was perhaps a bit overwhelmed with the number of tables she was serving - we did have to wait longer than I'd have liked for her to come back and bring on the next portion of our meal. but she was extremely friendly and really good at recommending items.
The Waterman Grille is always good. Service is friendly, food is excellent, ambiance is great overlooking the river. We go here three of four times a year and always enjoy it.
We had a wonderful time at Waterman Grille. The food was exceptional!!
Came here for the 3 course meal deal and thought it was a great value! Had a great time.
Wonderful food, wonderful service. I had butternut bisque that was piping hot and delicious. I had the filet for dinner and it was a perfect medium rare and very tender. The mashed potatoes that it sat on were also fantastic. Only complaint is that it was quite loud in the dining room. Would be nice to go when the weather is nice so you could eat outside. Also, it would be nice if the water under the restaurant was lit up because as cars drove by on the other side of the river the headlights were blinding. If there was more light on the restaurant side, you probably would not notice the cars on the other side.
Excellent prix fixe menu ...great value ...great service...almost flawless!
We made reservations for dinner at the Waterman Grille to celebrate our 5th anniversary. The staff was generous and accommodating, seating us exactly as I requested. The food was absolutely delicious! Plus, I was able to substitute for one of the side dishes. Dessert was wonderful and the whole experience felt cozy and relaxed.
Great location on hill at edge of water. Excellent food and service. I look forward to returning for dinner and wine.
Table by the window overlooking the water with good friends, professional service, and great food. It was a perfect fall morning and the brunch was delicious. We'll be back to try dinner soon.
I recently had dinner at Waterman Grille and the dinning experience was exceptional. The food and service combined with the ambience made for a lovely evening. I would highly recommend the Waterman Grille.
Server was wonderful had great recomendatons We started with sharing the mediterranian plate. some of the best humus we have ever had. Grape leaves fantastic and the pita bread with seasonings was the best We all had the evening's special of salmon cooked to perfection Desert was the chocolate bread pudding DECADENT!!
Nice to see that Waterman Grille now serves brunch on Saturday. Food was great, and service was very nice. Would recommend highly!
I usually rate this excellent however, this time very good. A little disappointed in the portion size and price of my veal chop over allegedly 3 ounces of lobster. This was a special at $36 and there was no way there was 3 ounces of lobster. Even the veal chop didn't seem to get 10 ounces. While the food was delicious, it wasn't worth $36. Also, they delivered the wrong meal initially which caused another 10 minute delay in our meal.
I made a reservation here for my boyfriends birthday dinner. Everything about it was excellent. We had heard great things about the place and had been wanting to try it. I'm certainly glad we did- the food, the drinks, the service, the atmosphere- everything was fabulous! We will definitely be back.
We went here because they accept reservations for Sunday brunch. They have a variety of reasonably-priced menu options and are in a less congested area with river views. We were seated promptly and all staff were extremely pleasant and efficient. The gluten-intolerant diner in our party was accommodated with a 3-topping gluten-free pizza ($17) that he raved about and his wife loved the lobster mac & cheese ($21) that was a huge portion and not cloyingly rich. I had Newport eggs benny ($15) with crab cakes substituting the English muffin and a tomato/red onion aoli instead of hollandaise, and my husband had the "regular" eggs benny ($10). Our dishes were accompanied by home fries and fresh fruit, and were ample and very tasty.
Great food, best fried calamari we've had ever! really interesting pairings and flavors. The service was exceptional, when was the last time server crumbed your table after every course? We really enjoyed the whole experience. The noise level was high though, lots of wood/glass so acoustics are not great. High Recommendation.
Thought the food was outstanding service was great could have been a little more attentive. Thought portions of the protein were to small. Would rather pay the price for a piece of meat and order the sides. Sides were huge. Will always return no complaints just opinion. go often enough. Did not feel that I paid too much just would have liked 1 more slice of filet for the money. The skate wS Wy too small and 4 scallops was not enough.
Wonderful time and a great, great staff. The food was outstanding and the overall place was fantastic. Hope to be back very soon.
Our first visit to the Waterman Grille was pleasant. Convenient parking, spacious tables and a nice decor. The lunch/brunch menu was adequate, but not particularly unique. Unfortunately, the restaurant had run out of specials by the time we arrived at 1 p.m. The food was well prepared with generous portions. Serving staff was friendly.
Salt overpowered the George's Bank scallop special with butternut risotto. Scallops a little tough, too well-done. Lamb shank very tender and fell off the bone.
Very good food, nice plating as well. But my wife thinks the food is a bit oily and a bit salty, though good. The view of the river is not as good as expected.
My wife and I recently had dinner at the Waterman Grille in celebration of our 2nd anniversary. The environment was very comfortable and inviting. Our server was very nice and was at the top of her game. She provided us with the specials, answered our questions well and ensured that our table was maintained throughout dinner (clean, wine glasses filled, etc.) Our food was very good (salmon and steak), prepared exactly as we requested and a nice portion. The drinks were also good and we enjoyed a bottle of wine which was price reduced as part of the restaurants 3 course offer. To cap off our dinner, they offered us some champagne on the house as a congratulations on our anniversary. Our overall experience was very good, highly recommend!
A small little restraint off the beaten path on the outskirts of providence. A small little restauraunt upstairs with a beautiful bar and view of the water, downstairs a large area perfect for a special celebration with accessory to the water. Ambiance is perfectly cozy, lit candles, romance and a special place to bring your special someone. Service was quick, staff was knowledgable of all the dishes and enthusiastic to be waiting on you. Food was hands down the best I've had as of yet in Providence. The duck breast was perfectly cooked, my boyfriend pork chop was succulent and their sides are unique from red chili stirfry to a twist on Boston's baked beans. We loved our experience and look forward to heading back on our next visit to RI.
Waiter was extremely knowledgeable about gluten free. I was asked if I had an allergy or just a diet preference. To my surprise, I was brought a warm large gluten free roll. The exterior was crusty and interior was soft, was very good! My dinner was salmon over black lentils, and green beans. Food presentation and taste was exquisite. The manager delivered my meal personally, and reiterated that it was indeed GF. Highly recommend! Will def return.
Brunch, lunch or dinner- always a treat at The Grille.
The Outstanding food and service has made the Waterman Grille one our favorite places to have a special and romantic evening.
The Waterman Grille provide consistently good food and service in a riverfront setting. Nice for dinner or Sat and Sun brunch.
This is a wonderful little place with lots of atmosphere and great food! There is a fireplace in the bar area, which makes it very cozy, and picture windows in the small deck-like dining room looking out on the river. The only downside is not the fault of the restaurant; there is a view of the river, but the opposite embankment is unfortunately quite ugly...rundown buildings, piles of trash and whatnot. I imagine, though, if you came at night, it would be much more pleasant (we were there for brunch), as there was soft lighting and candles at every table, and after dark the opposite shoreline would probably not be visible. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and our waitress was excellent! Very convenient parking too!

Leaked specs confirm dual-core CPU for Verizon's Galaxy S III
A leaked user agent profile has seemingly confirmed rumors that at least one U.S. version of the expected Galaxy S III will feature a dual-core processor.
According to details picked up by Pocketnow, Verizon's model (SCH-i535) will include the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset. Much like HTC has done with the One X on AT&T, the smartphone will forgo the quad-core CPU in order to integrate 4G LTE support.
Though some users may cry foul at the switch, I suggest waiting before complaining. Considering how positive the initial reviews are for the HTC One X, I suspect … Read more

The township is joining a growing number of homes, businesses and government agencies that are turning to the sun for power. According to the state Clean Energy Program, 17,132 homes and businesses have installed a solar energy program as of July 31, which generated a total of more than 852 megawatts of energy since 2001.Over the next 15 years, Aberdeen should achieve a savings of approximately $750,000 or more, Harris said.

This is for anyone who is in recovery through the NA program, who feels like they are told that recovery wont work without god. Im here to tell you otherwise, I have mulitple years clean, and I do it with out god. We will talk about facts in this group, and what the bottom line is, for the recovery process.
Members: 5

This group does not have any discussions yet.
Very interesting can of worms...
I like this take on it.
I don't need any gods in my recovery program and I am coming up for 4 years...
I am thinking of starting a Agnostics and Atheists NA group in Cape Town but haven't put the action in just yet...
http://GodIsImaginary.com , this gets right to the point.
Im in a battle of sorts with NA as a whole about having an alternate versions of the steps, and a new piece of literature drawn up that includes those of us in the NA program who choose not to beLIEve in a god. It is going to mix things up, but if this is truely a program built around change, there is no arguement that can stand up. My whole presentation if fact driven, I leave out my personal views and just run with facts, that are undeniable in the face of adversity.

Adam Lambert has released a teaser trailer for his upcoming music video Never Close Our Eyes and is looking tough and futuristic in the short clip. As the second single off Lambert's sophomore disc Trespassing, the full video for Never Close Our Eyes is set to be released any day now.
In the teaser clip, Adam is seen running through halls with a group of friends in what looks like an attempt to avoid uniformed soldiers who are chasing the group. Cameras follow the 'rebels' as they move through hallways, dressed in t-shirts and running shoes. Lambert's Brave New World-theme video even includes the singer in a machine that looks like it's going to scan his retina's for easy tracking by the soldiers. Thirty seconds in and I'm already hooked on this video!
Check out Adam Lambert's sneak peek for Never Close Our Eyes below.

1950s Politics Sentimentalized.
Current baby-boomer nostalgia has, for the most part, washed over—and sanitized—the political history of the 1950s. When compared to the turbulent decades that would follow and the world war that had preceded in the 1940s, the 1950s would appear from the present, popular perspective to represent a peaceful interlude in twentieth-century power politics—a kind of return to innocence from which the American people would emerge the "children of Eisenhower." Indeed, two-term president Dwight D. Eisenhower, the decade's dominant political presence, was a paternal figure. Running on the 1952 Republican platform at the age of sixty-two, he was an international hero who had organized the Allied victory over the Nazis and briefly served as president of Columbia University. He had a kind face and a smile that beamed confidence and optimism. A high handicapper, he spent a good deal of time at the golf course—more time there, contended some political wags, than in the Oval Office. But if he had a weakness for play, it was something the American people were more than willing to forgive in him as a fatherly indulgence; for, as a young Jack Kerouac and an equally drunk fellow Beat poet once sarcastically phrased it in an obscene letter meant for the White House, Eisenhower was the "Great White Father."
Politics of Fear.

Angle of Elevation and Depression
Concept (1)
In real world situations we often discuss the angle of elevation and depression. The angle of elevation and depression is used often in word problems, especially those involving a persons line of sight as they look up at an object. These angles can be used to solve problems involving trigonometric functions such as sine, cosine, and tangent, and the inverse trigonometric functions.

From regularly reading the English-language Israeli press online, I have found out just how much Arab Muslim violence against Jews within and around Israel, whether attempted or achieved, never (so far as I can tell from my experience of mainline Australian news) gets a mention outside of the country.
Here are two of the most striking recent examples, from the end of last month.
First, from Israel National News, Gil Ronen reporting, a jihadist booby-trap on an Israeli road in Muslim-occupied Judea, which an Israeli Jewish motorist only escaped by sheer good luck or the grace of God.
'Lebanese-Style' Terror Ambush Near Hevron' [that is, near the Biblical Hebron - CM].
'Sophisticated roadside explosive targets civilians who escape unhurt miraculously. Israeli press ignores the story.
Not entirely, of course, since the Israel National News is covering it. But there is an echoing silence from the international press, whose journalists, if stationed in Israel, should have been able to find out about it from 'Israel National News', just as I did.- CM
'Two Jewish civilians were targeted by a sophisticated Arab roadside bomb (that is, by a sophisticated roadside bomb laid by Jew-hating Arab Muslims - CM) Wednesday night near Hevron, but escaped unhurt miraculously. The serious incident was hardly reported at all in the press, which was busy counting the number of blows dealt to anarchists who tried to block a major thoroughfare.
'Chaim Siton, a resident of Avigail in southern Mount Hevron, was driving home with a friend on the dark and largely deserted road, when he saw a piece of black fabric waving in the wind and thought it was a dog running toward the road. He braked slightly.
He was saved by his compassion...- CM
'This action may have saved his life, as in the next moment a huge ball of fire engulfed the front of his car.
'The fire was from an explosive device that had been planted at the side of the road and was detonated with a cell phone.
'Had Siton not braked he would have been at the center of the explosion when the bomb went off.
'As it happened, Siton and his passenger managed to escape unharmed and continued driving.
'At this point, another miracle occurred and a second explosive charge, planted a few meters down the road, which was planned to explode on them, was not detonated.
Note the attempted one-two punch, the hallmark of many modern Mohammedan jihad attacks of this sort. They do exactly this sort of thing in southern Thailand, half a world away from Israel. - CM
'IDF forces arrived on the scene but were instructed by their regiment commander to remain within their armoured vehicles.
'This instruction proved to be the right decision: when the day dawned, the forces discovered a third bomb with a tripwire in the bushes, on a path leading to the nearby village of Yata. (An Arab Muslim village? - CM) The bomb would have detonated against any IDF force that tried to go down the route.
So, it was not just a one-two but a one-two-three punch, with the final booby-trap set up to kill the 'first responders'. Again, this is a pattern reported of many jihad bombings in Thailand. Civilians are attacked and then another bomb is let off against the army or police who come to investigate. - CM
'Siton said that IDF sappers told him the three-bomb setup was sophisticated and reminiscent of the type of challenges faced by the IDF in Lebanon in years gone by.
'Siton told Arutz Sheva that he does not understand why the event received no coverage in the press. "Something like this has not happened in the region in years, if ever. I am not a political man, but it seems there are much smaller things that receive attention and coverage".
'Siton said that he received a phone call before the Sabbath and was told that the Shin Bet succeeded in catching the terror cell (that is, the gang of jihad-minded Arab Muslims - CM) that planted the bombs. "The Shin Bet and security forces worked in an amazing way", he said.
'The ambush signals a possibly serious deterioration in the security situation in Judea, yet it appears only readers of Arutz Sheva even know the event took place".
And now readers of the New English Review know, too.
The second incident , which took place in late April in the environs of Jerusalem, is slightly different and less spectacular, though very, very ugly. It is a classic example of what I call 'street jihad', identical with the acts of aggression that Muslim gangs, issuing from the Muslim colonies now established all over the Western world, from Scandinavia to Australia, are routinely carrying out upon circumambient non-Muslims in those countries.
As reported by Israel National News - Gil Ronen again reporting - and by Ynet (for completeness, and to show the level of denial that still obtains in some sections of Israeli society, I will include a link to the painfully-PC Jerusalem Post coverage of the event.) - CM
'Arabs Attack Jews Outside Old City'.
Not bad, Arutz Sheva; but what you should have said was, "Muslims Attack Jews Outside Old City" - CM
'Arab youths (ah yes, those 'youths'; in other words, Mohammedan males - CM) attacked a Jewish family in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, on Thursday. Two members of the family were wounded moderately and one was lightly wounded.
They were evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.
'Other Arab youths (that is, Muslim youths - CM) hurled rocks at Jews near the Lions' Gate to the Old City. An 11 year old Jewish boy was wounded in the head. Police have launched an investigation...".
Here is what the Jerusalem Post had to say.
'Jerusalem: Arab youth clash with Jewish family; 3 hurt'.
'Arab youths clash with Jewish family'??? - No, if one reads the Ynet report, which I will reproduce below, one discovers that it was 'Arab Muslim youths attack unarmed Jewish family, target children. - CM
'Jewish boy lightly injured in the head after group of Arabs throw rocks at him; youths attack haredi man in Old City.
'Group of Arabs ' = Group of Arab Muslims. 'Youths' = Young Arab Muslim men. - CM
'A fight broke out Thursday between a Jewish family and a group of Arab teenagers in the Gaya Ben Henom area, a park on the way to the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Silwan.
'Three members of the family were injured, one lightly and two moderately. They were all taken for medical treatment.
So what was done to them was not trivial; it was bad enough to require a doctor's attention. Observe that although we are told it was a 'a fight between' the Jews and the young Arab Muslim men, none of the 'youths' seem to have sustained any injuries worth mentioning. - CM
'Also Thursday, an 11 year old Jewish boy was lightly injured after a group of Arabs (Arab Muslims - CM) threw rocks at Jews near the Lions' Gate in Jerusalem's Old City. The boy was hit in the head and taken for medical treatment.
Hit on the head with a rock. By a group of Arab Muslims. To hit someone's head you have to aim with intent. This was attempted murder, plain and simple. - CM
'In a third incident, two Arab youths (that is, Arab Muslim youths, I would bet money they were Muslims - CM) attacked a haredi man in the Old City of Jerusalem Thursday night. The man was not injured severely and did not require medical treatment...".
Thus, Jerusalem Post. And now for the full story of one of these 'incidents', in Ynet, as told to their reporter Yair Altman by a member of the Jewish family that was subjected to an attempted lynching. - CM
'Arabs attacked us on Independence Day'.
'Arabs'. I am going to assume they were Arab Muslims. - CM
'Tzipi Shukrun recalls brutal attack on her family during barbecue in heart of Jerusalem; assailants used chains, shouted 'yahud'.
'Three members of the Shukrun family were hospitalized overnight Thursday following an attack by a group of young Arabs. Two of the family members were moderately wounded in the attack, while the third suffered light injuries.
'Police say they are looking into the possibility that the attack was nationalistically motivated, but are exploring other possibilities as well.
'Nationalistically motivated'??? No, more likely to be Islamically-motivated. Islamic Jew-hatred, that's what this was all about. Anyone who has read 'The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism', or other books such as Martin Gilbert's 'The Jews of Arab Lands', can see that Muslims are taught to hate - to hate, hate, hate - Jews qua Jews. - CM
"I tried running away with my children and sister, but they kept coming back to hit us", Tzipi Shukrun told Ynet. "The kids are traumatized".
'The family arrived at a park located in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, near the Jerusalem Cinematheque, to celebrate Independence Day.
"We wanted to have a barbecue on the grass with my parents. I have three small children. At around 16: 30 a group of Arabs, who seemed to be about 18 years old, sat next to us. (18 years old? That is old enough to be called 'young men'. Young Arab Muslim men of military age. - CM). It was calm; there were a number of Jewish and Arab families near us so we weren't scared. My kids played soccer with the Arab children".
I would like to know a bit more about the other 'Arab' families; were they, too, Muslims? Or were they, perhaps, Christian Arabs? And I would like to know how many Jewish families there were, and how many Arab families, and at what point the numbers tipped in favour of the Arab Muslims. How many other people were there in the vicinity - or had the other Jews gone home - when the attack occurred? - CM
'But as the Shukrun family was preparing to leave, the teens ('teens'? - young men, I would have said - CM) approached and began cursing.
"My two brothers, my father and another teenager tried to prevent them from reaching my children. In response, they took out clubs, chains and a knife and began brutally attacking the children", Tzipi Shukrun recalled.
Who routinely brings clubs, chains and a knife to a picnic ground? It strikes me that the weaponry was brought a-purpose, with the intention of attacking a Jewish family as opportunity presented; out of a variety of possible targets the Shukrun family were chosen. - CM
'She said the assailants yelled out, "Yahud (Jew)".
Which word, let us not forget, is used as an extreme insult by Muslims. It carries even uglier overtones than 'Nigger!' did in the Deep South of the bad old days. - CM
'Tzipi said one of her brothers "was struck in the head and began bleeding, and another one of my brothers suffered a severe blow to the eye. I called the police but it took them 25 minutes to arrive at the scene.
"My brother, who served in Sayeret Matkal (elite IDF unit) arrived at the scene before the police did", she told Ynet.
'Police officials said officers arrived at the scene at 6:22 pm, just seven minutes after Tzipi Shukrun called.
"I tried to run away with my sister and children, but they (Arabs) kept coming back to hit us.
"Luckily, my brothers blocked their path. It's difficult to fathom that something like this could happen in the heart of the capital", Shukrun said.
'The family documented the incident with a camera. The photos were handed over to the police, but investigators have yet to arrest any suspect.
I hope the Shukruns made and kept a copy of this footage. At a later date, depending on legalities, they should put it up on youtube, with subtitles in English and French...and, perhaps, Danish. - CM
'Yonatan Shukrun, the brother who was hit in the head, told Ynet that "eight Arabs, aged 15 to 22, arrived just as we were preparing to leave.
"At some point they approached us and tried to reach the little kids - aged two, eight and ten.
The article doesn't say whether the children were boys, or girls, or a mixed set. If they were girls - or if the older two were girls - then this focused attack on the children becomes even more ugly. - CM
"When we tried to stop them, they took out a whip and a knife and began hitting us. I was struck with a club. We managed to protect the women and children, but it wasn't easy", he said.
'Yonatan was later treated at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital...".
Post script. I will add that as regards the case of the Arab Muslim attempted lynching of the Shukrun family on Yom Haatzmaut, some suspects have now been arrested.
'Four Arab Youths Arrested for Yom Haatzmaut Attack'
'Four Arab youths from the A-Tur neighbourhood in Jerusalem have been arrested by the Minorities Department of the Jerusalem Police's Central Unit, on suspicion of brutally attacking a Jewish family outside the Old City on Yom Haatzmaut..."
And, predictably, "Two other people, who are relatives of the arrested youths, were arrested for allegedly assaulting police officers in the course of the youths' arrest. The youths will be brought before a judge for remand at the Jerusalem Magistrates' Court.
'Magen David Adom emergency services said on Yom Haatzmaut that two of the Jews suffered moderate wounds and a third suffered light wounds after they were attacked with metal rods."
Judging from the variety of weapons mentioned in the different reports I have seen, these 'youths' were armed to the teeth: carrying a knife, a whip, clubs (or metal rods, or metal bars), and chains. And be it noted, to repeat, that when these Muslim men attacked they focused that attack - with those metal rods or clubs, that chain, that whip, that knife - not on the adults but on the children: three little Jewish children aged two, eight, and ten.
The Arabs expelled about 850k Jews from their countries, often violently. Israel needs to return the favor.

Opened: January 24, 2009 | Capacity: 5,000 | Surface: Mondotrack FTX Seating Chart | Tickets
The Rhonda & Frosty Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium, named after Rhonda and Frosty Gilliam, class of 1980, opened for the first time in December of 2008. It features a number of technological advancements that are relatively new to the collegiate athletic scene. Like the neighboring indoor football practice facility, Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium is constructed with Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) fabric, tensioned over a 104' 2 7/8" steel frame. It is fully insulated with thick R-30 insulation for the severe Texas heat and cold winters, and lined with a similar PVC fabric. Together, the indoor football practice facility, and Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium are known as McFerrin Athletic Center, named for Arthur "Artie" McFerrin, class of 1965. The top-of-the-line facility is fully air-conditioned and equipped with high quality climate control systems. Air is distributed via a collapsible fabric duct sock that expands when in use. The track in the new indoor facility is created with the same surfacing that was used for the track & field events at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. The surface is constructed with Mondo Super X Performance Material, a synthetic rubber that provides high-quality shock absorption, skid resistance, force reduction, and overall comfort for the athletes as they practice and compete. The six-lane, 200-meter competition track installed in the facility also has the capability to be hydraulically banked at its two bends for high speed running events. This technology has the potential to make Texas A&M the fastest indoor track in North America. The hydraulic track can be adjusted to any interval, perfect for a variety of training purposes and levels of competition. In the competitive world of track & field, the training requirements are far exceeded by Coach Pat Henry's standards. Aside from the six-lane, 200-meter hydraulically banked competition track, the facility features eight independent sprint lanes, two long and triple jump sand pits, four pole vault runways, and two throwing rings. In the future, the track & field facility will also feature a state-of-the-art synthetic turf conversion system, known as a Magic Carpet System. The most recent installment of this fairly new architecture is at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. In two hours, the facility can be converted from the Mondo surface to a one-hundred-yard synthetic turf field by way of a series of air jets. Run by a minimum of three people, eighteen air jets assist the turf across the entire floor in 30 minutes. When not in use, the turf is stored in neat folds in a covered pit blended with the surface.
For the first time since 2004 an Aggie team will compete on a home venue, and it will be in the first-ever indoor facility on the Texas A&M campus. The indoor season will have the Aggies hosting five meets, which includes two postseason championships.
The recently completed Gilliam Indoor Track and Field Stadium features a six lane 200-meter, hydraulic-banked track as well as an eight lane straightaway that resides in the McFerrin Athletic Center. "I think we have the finest facility in this country," Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry said. "Of course, I'm going to be a little biased. "Besides it being a banked, hydraulic Mondo facility, which we know is a tremendous track, it goes to the same degree of angle that the Arkansas track does. The Arkansas track is very fast and this is a copy of that track."
The Gilliam Indoor Track and Field Stadium is located at the southwest corner of Kyle Field and the structure covers 120,000 square foot. Plus adjacent to the facility is a 75,000 square foot indoor football practice field which will serve as the warm-up area during home meets.
"The most important thing, particularly for championship meets, is having an indoor warm-up facility adjacent to the track building," Henry noted. "When most facilities are built they forget that the athletes need to warm up. When you host a track meet you can't warm up on the same track you're having the meet on. "The other half of the McFerrin Athletic Center, which houses an indoor football field, just makes our warm-up area outstanding. That's what separates our facility from any others." The Texas A&M track and field staff and program offer a hearty thank you to the two families largely responsible for the construction of the first indoor track and field facility to grace the campus. Dorothy and Artie McFerrin along with Rhonda and Frosty Gilliam were instrumental in the plans for such a facility coming to fruition. "A couple of families gave an awful lot to this project, plus there were also a lot of other people who contributed to the facility," Henry said. "This is a happy time for us right now and we hope our team will respond."
The Mondotrack FTX surface, which covers the entire competition floor, is the same material utilized during the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. It offers a greater contact area, better lateral support of the foot and a high energy return. The surface is athlete oriented because it supports the rolling of the foot, returning elastic power and enhancing performance while preventing injury. By having a sprint runway outside of the oval, more room is dedicated to field events inside the oval. The Gilliam Indoor facility can accommodate two runways for the long jump or triple jump, two vault runways and pits as well as two high jump pits. Outside of the oval the facility also includes a throwing area that can accommodate two shot put rings, or a shot put and weight throw area concurrently.
"We can also throw both the shot put and the weight throw in the same facility and at the same time while being visible from the stands," Henry explained.

Apocalypse Now (Redux) (1979/2001)
Suggested reading: The Apocalypse Now Book (2001), Peter Cowie Notes on the Making of Apocalypse Now (1991), Eleanor Coppola Apocalypse Now (2001). Karl French |
"Director's cuts" can be infuriating. Sometimes
they're an excuse to shovel in footage that should have been left on the cutting room
floor. Other times they result in a film
that's superior to the original, and raise the question why things weren't done right the
first time. Why does the director of a film
ranked #28 on the American Film Institute's Top 100 list a film already criticized
for being exceedingly long and disjointed - would find it necessary to add 49 minutes of
new footage to bring it up to an almost catheter-requiring 3 hours and 17 minutes. That film is Apocalypse Now, and the answer is clearly that
the additions while not all worthwhile
undoubtedly make it a better film.
Now titled Apocalypse Now Redux,
this is essentially a totally new effort. The
origin of the new version goes back several years, to director Francis Ford Coppola's
viewing of the 1979 original on a London hotel room television. He says, "What struck me was that this film
which had been seen as so demanding, strange and adventurous when it first came out
now seemed like something that the audience had caught up to."
Instead of merely inserting new scenes, Coppola and editor Walter
Mirsch took an unusual and time-consuming tack. They
went back to the original raw footage, the "dailies", and re-assembled the film
from scratch, a process that took six months. The
result: even aficionados of the original version will find scenes with slightly different
takes or shots than the ones they've known so well for 22 years. And the film looks great.
In at least the top 20 U.S. markets, the film has been released with
dye-transfer Technicolor prints, resulting in richer, more saturated colors and wider
gradations of light and dark.
For those unfamiliar with the story (loosely based on the Joseph Conrad
novel Heart of
Darkness), it's a journey by special operative Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) who
commands a patrol boat upriver and behind enemy lines into Cambodia during the Vietnam
War. His mission is to terminate "with extreme prejudice" the command of Colonel
Kurtz (Marlon Brando). Kurtz is a highly
decorated career soldier now leading his own private army a group of local
tribesmen in mysterious activities condemned by his superiors.
New footage on the patrol boat near the start of their journey fleshes
out the relationship between Willard and the rest of the crew some regular army,
some whacked-out druggies and callow teens. It
shows the crew as more of a team than in the original, where Willard seemed merely a
high-ranking passenger. There's an
expanded "Playboy Playmates" sequence that shows the crew meeting up with the
Bunnies after an abortive road show. Willard
exchanges some fuel for two of the women's attentions for a couple hours - an obvious
parallel to the exploitation of American youth during the war, but the scene is
heavy-handed and gratuitous. It's the one
addition that seems totally unnecessary. And
there's now a scene where Kurtz reads excerpts from U.S. intelligence reports and Time
magazine to a captive Willard, sneering at their lies and inaccuracies. It's a valuable addition, providing additional
insight into the mind of Kurtz and making him less of a shadowy enigma than in the
original cut.
The bulk of the new footage is the much-discussed "French
plantation sequence," in which, at mid-journey, the crew comes upon an outpost of
French nationals shrouded in mist and fog. The
civility and calm shown by those who live on the plantation is an eerie contrast to the
madness that Willard and his men encounter elsewhere.
But overall the sequence is too long, too much of a break from the main story. There's a long-winded Political Science lesson
over dinner that by itself brings the film to a screeching halt. Later that evening, a love scene between Willard
and a widowed Frenchwoman is intended as poignant but instead comes across more like very
bad Zalman King, including a tacky soundtrack. Not
all the changes are additions. There's no
longer a pyrotechnics display at the film's conclusion, just simple white credits on
It's fascinating to view the film as merely a historical artifact, to
marvel at the production values, knowing that the film was made long before
computer-generated imagery was a gleam in anyone's eye.
Unlike the scenes in today's films like Pearl Harbor, which liberally used CGI to re-create the
attack, in Redux when the Hueys led by Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall) attack a
Vietcong outpost, everything you see is real - the helicopters, the explosions. And there was no digital editing available to
erase mistakes or add additional action in post-production.
Those who loved the original Apocalypse
Now will find more to admire. Those who
found the original self-indulgent and pompous may now find it even more so. But there's no denying that the additions result in a
more unified story line and a richer, more complete Colonel Kurtz character. Those two enhancements alone make Apocalypse Now Redux a welcome reincarnation of the

CANON, Ga. (AP) -- Authorities believe a body found at the bottom of a well in Franklin County is that of a 33-year-old Franklin County woman who had been missing for about two weeks.
Reports say a body was found about 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the bottom of a well. It was about three miles from the home in Canon where the woman, Bonny Anne Cooper, lived with her son and boyfriend.
The special agent in charge of the Athens office of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Mike Ayers, said the boyfriend, 42-year-old Brent Shubert, was arrested Sunday on a murder charge. Ayers said Shubert had been interviewed concerning the missing woman and information provided by Shubert and others led police to the site where the body was found.

Branch History
With its beginnings as an extension of the St. Charles County Family YMCA the 5,200 square foot Tri-County Family YMCA was formed in 1984 to serve Lincoln, Warren and western St. Charles counties. It received branch status in 1999.
In 2012, the Tri-County branch was re-located to the United Methodist Church at Wentzville so that we could continue to serve the Wentzville community through Y programming.
September 30, 2013 is the last day for Y classes at the United Methodist Church in Wentzville, but the Y will still offer youth sports programming to the community. Please click here for more details.

British Polo Players to Take Breathalyzer Tests - Prince Harry, This Means You
Champagne is the perfect accompaniment to the aristocratic sport of polo, but if you're playing rather than merely watching it at Britain's most prestigious fields you'll have to do your quaffing after the match. The game's regulatory body in the UK, the Hurlingham Polo Association, is introducing random alcohol testing for players in a bid to promote professionalism. Yes, that includes polo and party-loving royal Prince Harry (above). The limit will be set at half the amount considered unsafe for driving a car. Failing a breathalyzer test will not get a player banned for the season, the Guardian notes, but they will be prevented in playing in the day's match.
Many polo pros have welcomed the move, pointing out that a "good lunch", i.e. one accompanied by plenty of bubbly, never improves performance or safety. "It's always been in our regulations that alcohol and drugs aren't acceptable," notes HPA's chief executive David Woodd, "but now we have the machines which we didn't have before and a doctor or official on hand to use them....At the country club I wouldn't argue that there are players who will have a decent lunch and play afterward. But at the top end of the sport, most of them won't even eat, never mind drink, before they play."

Family Medical History: Improve Your Heart Health with Knowledge
One of the risk factors for heart disease is something you can't change: family medical history. If your father or mother had heart disease, you are more likely to get it than someone whose parents had healthy hearts. But this doesn't mean you can't lower your risks.
It's important for you to know whether someone in your family has had heart disease so you can share it with your doctor. If your parent, sibling or child was diagnosed with heart disease or died quickly from heart problems at a young age (before age 65 in women or before age 55 in men), you have a higher chance of getting heart disease.
Heart disease can be partly caused by genes from your parents but also partly by an unhealthy lifestyle (such as eating unhealthy foods, smoking and not working out).
You can find out more about your chances of getting heart disease by answering the questions below:
- How many people in your family have had heart problems?
- Are they a close part of your family?
- At what age did they become ill?
- At what age did they die?
If someone in your family has had heart disease, it will add to your chances for heart disease, even if you don't have other risk factors like high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes.
What's more, women with a family history of early heart disease are 3 times more likely to have heart problems and 5 times more likely to die from heart disease than women with no family history of heart disease. Learn more about the differences between men and women's heart health.
It's also important to note that the younger your relative was when they had heart disease and the more people in your family that have it, the higher your chance of getting it.
While you can't change your family history, you can lower your risk by changing your habits. Once you know your chances of having heart problems, there are 4 steps you can take to lessen your odds:
- Make healthy lifestyle choices. Stay active, eat well, lose weight, watch your blood pressure and don't smoke.
- Tell your doctor about your history to catch any problems early. Screening tests can help uncover heart disease as well as diabetes and many cancers.
- Take your prescriptions regularly.
- Make a profile of your family health history. The U.S. Surgeon General offers an online tool called "My Family Health Portrait." It is easy to fill out and serves as a summary of all your family health history.
By taking these steps, you can turn your family medical history into a powerful preventive tool.
