Benefit concert relocated
What: The Eric Stuart Band, Electric Attitude and SUM MORZ were to perform an all-ages concert Friday night at the Embassy Theatre benefiting Lutheran Children's Hospital, which is located inside Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne. The concert since has been moved to the University of Saint Francis Performing Arts Center, 431 W. Berry St. The concert will start at 7 p.m.; doors will open at 6:15 to 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door. People who bought tickets previously through Ticketmaster received an automatic refund on that purchase and will need to buy new tickets at the door. |

We all know Fort Wayne is a great city. It's nice to know its appeal is obvious to visitors, too.
In July 2010, Caleb Storey, a resident of northern Kentucky, attended Ikasucon, an anime convention held downtown at the Grand Wayne Convention Center.
According to Storey, he fell in love with the city during his visit. "I not only met great people from Fort Wayne, but toured the Embassy Theatre and heard about the city's efforts to band together to save it," he said.
Storey also attended Ikasucon in 2011 in Fort Wayne. During that convention, Storey met fellow attendee and musician Eric Stuart, a Brooklyn, N.Y., resident now residing in Nashville, Tenn. The two became friends and kept in contact after the convention concluded.
During his visits to Fort Wayne, Storey had heard stories about good work being done at Lutheran Children's Hospital to aid local children. Storey, who has a background as a child-care worker (he has worked as an early-childhood teacher, camp counselor and nanny), realized he wanted to do something to help the people of Fort Wayne.
Thinking a concert might be a popular fundraiser, Storey, who also has experience as an event planner, contacted Stuart and asked him to headline a benefit concert for Lutheran Children's Hospital.
Stuart agreed, as did officials at the hospital.
The concert entitled, "Rock & Roll Medicine Show," was to be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Embassy Theatre. It since has been moved to 7 p.m. at the University of Saint Francis Performing Arts Center, 431 W. Berry St.
In addition to Eric Stuart's Band, which also is from New York state, performers will include the bands Electric Attitude from Houston and SUM MORZ from Fort Wayne. A portion of proceeds from the concert will be donated to the hospital.

Gee Randy,
I liked you a lot better when you sniveled at the onset, carped thru the meat of your article and finished up with couple of whines, Ha! My worst experience was on Houghton road, when a car passenger squirted at me with a water pistol loaded with urine........... takes all kinds!!
Agreed, ronko--thanks for the comment. Many of the side streets that are "safer" to ride on (because there's less traffic, moving relatively slowly) are not just annoying but dangerous, thanks to cracks and holes and bumps in the pavement that can literally throw a bicyclist to the ground.
Add to your list of fantasies improved pavement. While I agree with your list of big picture plans and ideas for the future of bicycling in Tucson on a more immediate and tangible level the streets/bike lanes, and basic surface of both in this town is bone rattling. Bad pavement can separate the dedicated cyclists from those less rabid. Those less rabid will simply drive or walk.
One more time, President Obama and his close advisers came up with the idea of the sequester and proposed it. The Republicans acquiesced to him. President Obama owns the sequester.
National Monuments were not closed during the 1995 government shutdown, and some National Parks including the Grand Canyon were allowed to remain open with private and non-federal funding. President Obama refused to accept outside funding to keep some of these areas open, including the war memorial in Normandy which is already privately funded.
President Obama even spent money to close and then place police guards at memorials that require no such supervision when the government is not shut down. He also spent money to close and guard roadside turnouts near national parks that are normally unmanned and require no supervision.
President Obama refused to allow government employees to work for no pay to maintain services for citizens.
Only 17% of the government was closed during the shutdown. President Obama had discretion to choose which areas of service to be disrupted. Some government employees were told to make life as difficult as possible for citizens.
In the 1995 shutdown President Clinton met with Speaker Gingrich every day. During the 2013 shutdown President Obama and Congressional Democrats refused to meet with Republicans, so why is all the blame placed upon Republicans?
ALL of the budget-cutting madness that pervades Washington these days derives from the sort of anti-government dogma that is wholeheartedly embraced by the Tea Party. The pathetic dynamic of Obama and squishy Democrats acquiescing to such nonsense does not change that fact. In that context, "Teaquester" is perfectly accurate.
Secondly, the simple fact is that the parks were forced to shut down by the failure of Congress to do its job and settle funding issues in a timely matter. What part of that do you not understand?
~Your friendly neighborhood correct-information writer
We get to go through this nonsense again in just a few months. Yippee.
Couldn't believe it when I saw one Senator complaining about having to wash his own towels to go to their special gym. If he had been anywhere near me I would have slapped him - HARD.
Too bad they handle their own paychecks. If I had any sayso they would be paid hourly since they only work part time anyway. AND they would have to go out and buy health care like the rest of us instead of getting what I sarcastically call "Magic Healthcare".
Thank goodness we had a few women there who were willing to ignore their male peers and get together and talk to straighten things out. Otherwise the Gov. may still be shut down.
I hope whoever reads this will vote for a different person at the next election. It's more than past time to do some serious House (and Senate) cleaning!
I thought after the shooting of Rep. Giffords all allusions to guns and violence as a part of political debate was verboten. Oh, that's right, verboten for conservatives, but ok for rabid foaming at the mouth liberals.
"Congress celebrated two days later by barring the public from visiting millions of acres of our national parklands and confronting taxpayers with yellow crime scene tape…"
You need to go back to revisit 4th grade civics class. Congress is not involved in the administration of public lands. That would be fall under the purview of the Department of the Interior in the executive branch whose final authority and responsibility rests with the President of the United States.
"The Teaquester…"
I am guessing by using that term you are trying to place responsibility for the sequestration on The Tea Party. Nothing be further from the truth.
From Bob Woodward:
"... the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Lew (White House Office of Management Director Jack Lew) and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors — probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government." (parenthesis added)
"Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
The Republicans did the bidding of their President and went along with his proposal. Isn't that what you want them to do?
Is your misrepresentation of the truth on purpose or because you are a low information writer.
Is that to say there's a dead spider in the kitchen?
I have never used face book, will never use it, if that is a requirement to post on any site they will never have to worry about me visiting and posting let alone reading their advertisements!;-)
One can find the face book thing a joke, you give up so much personal data opening one up to potential hackers, identity thieves and face book will deny any culpability when their records are compromised, but racism, hatred is rampant on the internet and print news papers especially in certain counties like Mohave County where if one is anti-Obama, anti-democrat nothing is off limits in content one can print whether it be lies or libel!
I think his point about anonymous comments is relevant. Here's the thing: I don't want my comments to be easily accessibly to anyone casually searching on my name such as a future employer. Not that I'm ashamed of anything I say, I just don't want to spend that much time thinking about comments to say, hm, how will this look in 10 years and is there a chance that it will tick someone off. I'd prefer that tying comments to me personally at least require finding my personal email and likely getting a warrant (or not if you're the NSA).
Who knows what facebook will do with them, but anything tied to facebook is tied to my name and personal account.
Thus I don't comment at ADS at all anymore (and the people rejoiced) and I've virtually stopped reading it (virtually, ha ha). Which is too bad since it's the only significant source of local news outside of the TV stations and if you ignored the trolls there were some good comments and some real information in them occasionally. It seems strange that a newspaper would be afraid of the statements of their readers, even if they disagreed with them.
But the ADS is not much more in depth or useful than the TV news anymore so maybe it's time for it to die.
If I'm understanding Serraglio's point, or at least one of them, Facebook is a sort of evil empire bent on monetizing (I hate this word) all communications flowing across and within its network. Yeah, that's why they exist or as the French would have it their raison d'etre. Serraglio's point is true but trivial. That the federal government, we've learned, has ready access to all communications on Facebook (and other social media site) is also true but deeply troubling; being an electronic massive data dump and NSA storage facility was not a primary goal of Facebook's founders.
So to many of us Facebook haters, the move by the Daily Star was a bridge too far, an inedible meal. You can be a liberal, libertarian or conservative and find adequate reason to opt out of the Facebook "community." You'd probably find common cause in your reasons including crude attempts at monetization, privacy concerns, or an overflow of unfiltered information from friends and relatives with too much time on their hands.
The ADS took the path of least resistance and the decision was probably made outside of Tucson; part of a corporate directive intended save money or generate additional revenues as the scrubbed up new commentaries somehow become interesting and palatable to a broad population of readers ...and go viral. Serraglio is correct, the new ADS online comments direction appears to be a massive failure with few bothering to bother and much of the same vitriol flowing (only much less of it). But that said, the Weekly comments section is also a pale shadow of the former ADS site even with its affording anonymity to posters. Maybe it's a trend, folks deciding not to contribute to the electronic noise.
Just another reason not to read the Arizona Daily Star. Wonder how the sponsors feel about so few people reading the ads with the comment section. The comments were also part of the entertainment! The Ariz Republic is also doing the same. few comments. Is it censorship of just plain stupidity? Hard to tell in Tucson. I wish the Star all the bad luck they deserve. We get the Sunday paper. Four pounds of ads and very little new. Except for the massive article on how college students are collecting and studying the trash of illegal aliens. Thank you Debbie Kornmiller! Keep your resume fresh the paper has little time left.
As said previously, the ADS lost control of commenting, and, I think, they gave up and out-sourced the job of moderating to Facebook.
I agree with the gist of this opinion piece: it is not so much about the name a commenter uses as it is about the owner of the website's willingness to moderate comments.
Kudos to the Tucson Weekly for its willingness to moderate comments to its articles!
Simple solution, Have a Facebook acct under an alias.
Works for me when I want to remind people how much power racism and ignorance hold over Arizonans.
Welcome to the new Mississippi.
Great article, Randy. I participated in the Star's comment section until they switched to Facebook. I valued a forum that allowed one to speak freely without "sharing" the thoughts with all the family members and others on Facebook. Some ideas and opinions are best not said to some family members and friends. Anonymity is a form of privacy that enables free expression that social circles tend to inhibit to keep the peace. Anonymous forums are not as peaceful, but you hear how and what people really, really think. The Star blew it!
Like Wise-Guy I was banished from the ADS comments for using a forbidden word. In my case the word was "Teabagger". I wasn't aware of the sexual connotation of the word (really!) and I sent an e-mail to John Bolton trying to explain. He told me he'd have to talk with his associates to see if I could be forgiven.
I cancelled my subscription to the ADS forthwith, and I don't ever plan to return, although I'm frequently receiving solicitations to "come back". I wonder how John Bolton developed such a virginal sense of propriety, certainly it could not have come from being a moderator on the old ADS comments.
ChetDude refers to "right wing trolls" on ADS boards. Why stop with right-wing? To be fair, left-wing serial posters like Benjamin Long and Autumn, Malcolm (Tripod) did their share of trolling.
I was both a participant and a lurker on the old ADS comment site. I enjoyed anonymous posting as I put in my comments from work computer and needed privacy. I enjoyed reading the vigorous exchanges on political topics about which I wasn't particularly opinionated or knowledgeable (Benghazi, Fast&Furious, Obamacare, immigration, etc.) and putting my two cents worth on a few topics I do know well. I learned a lot about the constitutional and election issues from posters like Langer and Harry Red Dog, gun rights/gun control issues from Wayne B. (Rain) and Harperman, enviro comments from folks like Skinnyman, SilverTones, Jerrod Sandhill, and Horquilla, and the super clever posts by Rat T. The information provided by the posters supplemented the many times thin or biased story lines written by ADS. Heck half the time, the fellow posters provided the links we needed to do something about what we learned or to fuller stories in other papers. I miss the rapid-fire conversations. The conversations now on the threads are slow, insipid, and boring, but hey, the folks all seem to agree with each other! Dissenters and provacateurs on the left, middle, and right have split.
Randy, having read your comments in the Arizona Daily Star and seeing you speak before the public on many occasions, I never thought that I would ever agree with you on anything. But in this case, I think you are correct. The Arizona Daily Star lost control of the forums it used to allow citizens like you and me to comment on important issues in our community.
However, my comments were seldom removed by the Arizona Daily Star's censors because they were made in a courteous and respectful manner. However, many of the other individuals in these forums would repeatedly report me, for no other reason than to censor my comments. As you may know, this is one of the ways the system was abused.
Oh well, the good old days of discussing Rosemont Copper in the Arizona Daily Star are gone. With Rosemont Copper nearing the successful completion of the permitting process and commencing construction at the site in the near future, there would not be very many opportunities to continue these discussions anyway.

It's been since June... I used to do parallel bar dips with 90lb dumbbell and I weigh 200. Now I can barely do 150 on the machine (not body weight), on a good day, I can flat bench 330x4 but incline bench and body weight dips are too painful. After any chest work including cable flys, my shoulder hurts for days. Advil takes the pain from 10--->7. But I can't even sleep on my left side now because it hurts.
I'm finally scheduling an xray this week because its not getting any better. I can barely pick up my kids. And I did zero chest work from June-December to see if it would heal.
Anybody else gone through this?

I didn't have sizing issues. I wear a size Large top and it fit me just fine. Honestly, anticipate it fitting as it does in the picture. It's a cropped style, with long fringe and has an open front cut. No ties or closures. I was happy with it and paired it with a white tunic.

Giving away my old Diet books
58 comments:
Firstly, I don't want to enter the competition for a diet book because I seem to have enough of my own - equally unused!
Secondly, I am full of admiration for your honesty, it's incredibly hard to open your heart to everyone both on your blog and on radio. So, I wish you every success with your endeavours.
Please don't forget all your achievements so far - when you read about how few people manage to get a first book published you did extraordinarily well, although to be fair it is an extremely good book, not just another recipe book either.
So, I wish you all the very best of luck.I agree with Jennifer -no diet book for me - I don't live in the UK anyway - but the one about Japanese don't get old or fat did catch my eye and have to admit I did buy at one time French women don't get fat ...anyway I digress - to expose your demons in public is extremely brave. Good luck and looking forward to reading about your new adventures - who knows there might be a new book in this?
ReplyDeleteI could open a diet book shop so don't want to enter the competition.
I just want to wish you all the very best on your journey - I managed to lose all my excess weight a few years ago, and actually life was better - but that was because I was happier in myself. (I have since put it all back on ++)
I echo everyone elses comments - you have written a wonderful book (got it on Christmas morning!) and have so so many achievements - well done.- Anonymous15 January 2012 09:13
Vanessa, Gill is wonderful, very kind indeed, I just struggle with the class timings at the moment otherwise I would be back with her - best of luck and make sure to look at her before and after book for all the local success stories! Its not all or nothing, its just consistency and easy thing to write but a difficult thing to accept when you are impatient and hardwired ( like me) for immediate results...Tara
ReplyDelete Vanessa, you will be absolutely fine, I have been with Slimming World on and off for the last couple of years, depending on how strong I am feeling, and the group meetings are really helpful in keeping the impetus going. I have about 4 stone to lose, and my knees tell me about it every day, so do give me a Twitter shout (@josordoni) when you need some friendly support.
And Fat Girl Slim has some cracking recipes in it, really tasty and real food. Don't look at the fab chocolate souffle (called realistically Sod It...) at the back for a month or do though!My Mum gave me Japanese Women Don't Get Old And Fat right after my boyfriend moved to Japan, dumped me and started going out with a Japanese girl.
It was actually well-intentioned, something about me liking Japanese stuff and cooking. The timing was just atrocious. And I didn't even need to diet back then, I was almost underweight!
I'm really sorry you've been feeling like that too, and I also think you're very brave to do this for your radio show! Realise that you could really, really help people with this too.
Your friend who stopped being your friend? Probably NOTHING to do with you. I'm sure she has her own stuff going on, her own insecurities.PS I'm not entering either I'm afraid! My new food resolution is to eat lots of fruit and veg, pulses, wholegrains, nuts, and oily fish. Cut out refined flour, sugar, alcohol and processed food. And keep that up for as long as I can (hopefully until I lose 4kg, although getting food poisoning last week gave me a real head start on that). I'm not going to restrict calories because I know I'll be a real dunce at calorie counting and it would just take me too long. I'll just see how that works out combined with upping the exercise a bit.
ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa,
Like some of the other ladies I've got bookshelves buckling with the amount of 'diet' books on them - most of them read but not acted upon. I know I should get back to my formerly slim self, not just for my self-esteem but by the evidence my body is giving in the form of health problems. I already follow you on twitter (@Perky1508) and was very impressed by your replying to me with a nice cheery message when I followed you! I just happened on this site today when I followed your link re Beetroot Soup recipe. Looking forward to trying it and exploring your site further. Keep us in touch with your progress on twitter and it might keep me on the straight and narrow too with my healthy eating plan when I'm being weak-willed. Best wishes, Marie- Linda Hickson15 January 2012 21:41
so sorry you're feeling like that...I understand as I am too. I've decided to try and lose 1lb a week with you!
I would be interested in the Dukan diet as I've heard lots about its success but have no idea what it involves.
My diet tip is that if you only buy food in its original form (fruit, veg, unmarinated meat etc) and prepare it yourself, you are much more likely to lose weight...and enjoy tastier meals too! Organisation is definitely the key - plan ahead, make sure you have a day for shopping even if it is online... if you dont have the food in you need, youll use this as an excuse! I also find writing it down helps. Like you I have hung myself out for the slaughter and started my very own diary on www.chatterzone.co.uk and at the end of my 1st day of the cabbage soup diet - ive struggled! I too have tried diets like the GI, and slimming world but give in too easily... doing my blog for all to see, and writing it down makes me adament to achieve my goal! I need this! I have interest in finding out more about other diets as the cabbage soup diet is 1 wk only, and i plan to follow slimming world but i know i tire of this easily and so would love to read more about other plans available so these bookos would be well used for my partner and I on our weight loss journey to a healthier family! You can get hold of me on twitter @emzispeers or firstname.lastname@example.com - even if just to chat about how we are getting on x
ReplyDeleteI have tweeted and following you too @emzispeers - as i say in the above competition I have a huge interest in all diets and so any of the books would be a welcome addition... a friend in passing mentioned the dukan diet which i had never heard of... she didnt go into detail about what it entailed tho so a little intrigued! I am looking for a diet which is real, which is simple to a degree, which can fit in with family life as well as my own desires!
ReplyDelete- Anonymous17 January 2012 15:06
Diet, well as veg, i have an advantage, but, i lovesalads in summer, and pasta /veg dishes, but loose weight!!! never, but i love cooking, and welcome more cook books for my collection
ReplyDelete Good luck Vanessa - and everyone else trying to find their true body. Since giving up smoking, I've piled the weight on and feel so rubbish about myself I comfort eat - totally vicious circle. My best tip is to write down EVERYTHING you consume - if you have to own up to each mouthful,even if it's only to yourself in black and white, it makes you question whether you are actually that hungry. I'd like to be included in the draw, but won't choose a book - if I'm lucky, maybe a surprise will be more help than my (so far) epic fail.
ReplyDelete- Tracey Mse Wright21 January 2012 12:09
I have found if i put my food on a smaller plate/bowl i have manage to cut my calorie intake down . before i tendend to fill the plate with food even if it was huge .
ReplyDelete Hi, I too have wept in a slimming class- slimming world and spent numerous amounts of money at weight watchers too and my new year resolution was no more diet classes for me and to read about nutrition and actually understand a bit better the effects of what I put in to me as opposed to syns points calories etc, so I am currently trying to eat a low gi plan made up by me!!! I have no diet books, so given my new obsession with reading about nutrition , these would be great... I wish you lots of luck with your quest and can empathise
karen xI'd like to win these books. Perhaps I can learn something from them :)
My top tip would be to always keep a well stocked kitchen. My downfall often is that I am hungry and there is so much tempting food in my kitchen, when I know I should make the effort to get something healthy, but I lazily pick at rubbish.So sorry you've been feeling so rubbish. You can absolutely do this and I wish you loads of luck! Also - people who stop being your friend for no reason are IDIOTS!
I managed to lose 3 stone a couple of years ago, but since getting married a few months ago I have put a stone back on, so could probably use a diet book!
My best tip is to write down everything you eat so you can see what you're putting in your body and keep track of how much!
I think the Idiot-Proof book would probably be best for me LOL! Although I love Japanese food too so I would like either :)
@Laura_CookiesMy diet tip is... ditch the diet... if someone is 'on a diet' it means they will eventually come 'off the diet' so ultimately they don't change psychologically and the weight lost will come back on again... I prefer to think of general healthy eating with lots of fruit, veg and wholemeal foods combined with exercise... loosing weight with exercise like dancing or zumba is much more fun than starving ourselves. Good luck everyone xxx
ReplyDeleteI think you're incredibly brave to go public with your diet. I don't think I'd dare!
My top tip for dieting is to make sure you drink loads of water. Not only does water fill you up and make you less likely to snack outside mealtimes but it will also help flush out those toxins!
Good luck! @piperanddaisy
If you are reading my blog I must warn you that I am not impartial. I want to influence you. I want to make you stop for just a moment and consider the effect of a lifetime of seemingly insignificant decisions and how making small delicious choices can change the world.
I believe that we can change the world one bite at a time.
It's a delicious revolution.

A Controversy Takes Public Shape
Most scientific publications, sociologists of science have pointed out, are destined to die a lonely death. Given the tremendous number of publications that appear each year, it is inevitable that the average paper is ignored by the vast majority of scientists. Only a minority of papers are cited by many others; fewer still become the object of direct debate. As a general rule, one need not invoke a complicated explanatory apparatus to account for the fact that a scientific paper may sink beneath the surface of professional attention without causing much of a splash.[11]
Duesberg's paper might have been particularly inclined in that direction because many of the points he was making were not especially new. Such questions as how the virus could cause the near-elimination of T-cells when only a few seemed to be infected had been raised before; this particular anomaly had made it into the National Academy of Sciences' Confronting AIDS and had even been discussed in the gay press. But arguably Duesberg's essay was different, and it might have been expected to generate a livelier response. It was written by an eminent scientist whose articles typically had been cited by dozens of other scientists each year. It was published in a respected journal. It had enormous implications if correct in its arguments. And it constituted nothing short of a declaration of war on some of the most prominent virologists in the world. Yet had it not been for the pressure exerted by outsiders who wrote about Duesberg in the alternative and mainstream press, the scientific community might never have addressed Duesberg's claims. Indeed, throughout the latter part of 1987 and early 1988, it was precisely the "AIDS establishment's" apparent avoidance that most incensed the HIV dissenters—and that provided them with their best ammunition.
The first apparent published mention of Duesberg's article came in a cover story by John Lauritsen in the June 1, 1987, issue of the New York Native . As the issue's cover advertised, the focus of the article was to encourage people with AIDS not to take the medication AZT.[12] Recently approved for AIDS patients, AZT was believed to inhibit replication of the virus in infected cells by interfering with the process of reverse transcription. AZT, in other words, made sense as a treatment for AIDS only if AIDS was caused by HIV. This is precisely what Lauritsen disputed, and much of the article was devoted to the proposition that "HIV Is Not the Cause of AIDS."[13]
With the discovery of the virus, "dogma rapidly came to prevail"; "all other research efforts were shunted aside, ostracized, under-funded," Lauritsen complained. Against this dogmatism, it was—until now—impossible for dissenters to make their voices heard: "Since 1984, there have been a few of us who stated in print that epidemiological evidence, together with the failure of HIV to fulfill any of Koch's postulates, made it most unlikely that HIV could be the sole cause of AIDS. … We were isolated. Some AIDS researchers did not believe in the 'AIDS virus' ideology, but, in the interests of self-preservation, they remained silent." But now that a prominent scientist had entered the fray, "all this has changed"; and the HIV dissenters could emerge from their isolation. As Latour has noted, "the power of [scientific] rhetoric is to make the dissenter feel lonely"; this is precisely what happens to the "average person" who tries to challenge highly technical scientific texts.[14] The most obvious solution is to recruit credible allies who can provide rescue from isolation. Lauritsen had found just such an ally.
"Unless HIV's champions can do some very fancy explaining," Lauritsen concluded, "Duesberg's article has unambiguously relegated the 'AIDS virus' etiology to medical history's trash heap of falsified hypotheses." Insisting that "Gallo and the other 'AIDS virus' ideologues" must respond to Duesberg's article "fully and in detail," Lauritsen did his best to up the ante in the controversy: "If the Public Health Service and the media remain silent about Duesberg's article, and persist in expounding the discredited HIV mythology, then gay men will have cause to be gravely concerned. This would mean that the government and their confederates in the medical establishment are not acting in good faith, that nothing they say can be trusted, that their interests are hostile to ours. Their silence would raise the possibility of a horrible hidden agenda."[15]
Soon after this article appeared, Lauritsen went to interview Duesberg at the NCI, where Duesberg was working while on sabbatical from the University of California. The interview was published both in the Native and, sometime later, in its more literary offshoot, Christopher Street; the Native ran photos of Gallo and Duesberg on its cover, with the headline "Which Man Is Right?" The interview recorded a fascinating duet between Duesberg and Lauritsen, with Duesberg voicing his support for Lauritsen's claim that AZT is poisonous ("It is a poison. It is cytotoxic.")[16] and Lauritsen feeding Duesberg suggestions about what might cause AIDS. When Duesberg
shrugged off a direct question on causation ("Well, that's a difficult one. … I really wonder what it could be"), Lauritsen put forward the idea advanced earlier by various proponents of a multifactorial etiology that AIDS might have different causes in different groups. Duesberg chimed in: "Absolutely. And in Africa I don't think anybody knows what kind of AIDS exists, or whether AIDS exists. In the case of the drug users, I could well see that an infection of toxins—and the drugs are impure; no one knows where they come from—is hell for the immune system. And also medical injections—streptomycin or penicillin—are also not good on a regular basis. They are immunosuppressive themselves. Perhaps it is a simple question of lifestyle."[17]
While assuring Duesberg that it was not incumbent on him to come up with an alternative hypothesis—"It's quite enough to have falsified theirs"—Lauritsen nonetheless pushed Duesberg's speculations further. He described for Duesberg what he called the "profile" of the average AIDS patient—a profile whose characteristics supposedly included long-term drug abuse, promiscuity, and repeated cases of sexually transmitted disease:
[Lauritsen: ] Looking at that profile … I think it would be surprising if such people did not become seriously sick from their lifestyle.
[Duesberg: ] I would be surprised, too. The number of contacts, the number of things they inject. You wonder how they could do it.[18]
By the end of the interview, Duesberg appeared to be sliding out of his formal position of agnosticism and toward an endorsement of a lifestyle model similar to the immune overload hypothesis that had been so popular in the first years of the epidemic—indeed, a particularly judgmental version of that hypothesis.
According to James Kinsella's study of AIDS and the media, the Native's publisher, Chuck Ortleb, quickly took it upon himself to conduct a "phone-calling campaign" to promote Duesberg's arguments.[19] But the Native —a paper whose fascination for unorthodox and speculative theories had left it with tarnished credibility even among its intended readership of gay men, let alone elsewhere—had only minimal power to spread the word about Duesberg or to evoke much alarm about a "horrible hidden agenda." Duesberg's claims did begin to circulate in gay communities; they were picked up, for example, by Charles Shively, writing about various alternative AIDS theories in Gay Community News .[20] But only with Katie Leishman's September
1987 article in the popular magazine Atlantic Monthly did Peter Duesberg begin to hit the mainstream. Dubious of official pronouncements about the epidemic, Leishman's article ranged widely, exploring the possibilities of insect transmission and presenting a sympathetic portrait of Jane Teas's unappreciated efforts to push the African swine fever hypothesis. Near the end of the article, however, she also turned to Duesberg and Koch's postulates, noting that Duesberg "is so certain of his claim that he has offered to be inoculated with HIV."[21]
Soon afterward, Duesberg made his first of what would prove to be several appearances in a British television documentary series called Dispatches . In an episode entitled "AIDS—The Unheard Voices," produced by a group called Meditel and broadcast on November 13, the narrators cited Duesberg to suggest that discrimination against anti-body positive people, however deplorable on its own terms, was particularly irrational if HIV were not even the true cause of AIDS.[22] Though controversial in Britain, the show attracted little notice in the United States. Meanwhile, Harvey Bialy, the editor of a journal called Bio/Technology , had become interested in Duesberg's arguments, and Bialy invited Duesberg to write a summary of his Cancer Research article. Adopting a journalistic style, Duesberg complained that "the 'deadly AIDS virus' has been sold to the public as the cause of AIDS with the confidence and authority that is usually derived from absolute scientific proof."[23]
In the immediate aftermath of the Leishman piece and Duesberg's own article in Bio/Technology , Duesberg began to be recognized in U.S. media circles as a credible and "quoteworthy" dissenter on the subject of AIDS.[24] By the end of 1987, gay newspapers such as Gay Community News and San Francisco's Bay Area Reporter were publishing articles specifically about Duesberg—and about the failure of his colleagues to respond to him. "How come researchers continue to study HIV but have not refuted Duesberg's theory?" asked the subhead to the GCN article. "I've asked questions they apparently can't answer," Duesberg was quoted as saying.[25]
Before long the story had acquired its own momentum. In January, Celia Farber, a journalist with the pop music magazine Spin , featured Duesberg in a long interview in her column called "AIDS: Words from the Front."[26] In the interview, Duesberg suggested that researchers such as Gallo found themselves simply unable to retreat from their original claims because the "stakes are too high now": "Every progress report from their laboratories is discussed by Dan Rather and
Barbara Walters, Newsweek , and Time magazine. … To say that now, maybe, the antibody wasn't worth committing suicide for or burning houses for, would be very embarrassing."[27] Even more provocatively, Duesberg delivered a stinging critique of the political economy of contemporary biomedical research, questioning the motives of AIDS researchers: "Scientists researching AIDS are much less inclined to ask scrutinizing questions about the etiology … of AIDS when they have invested huge sums of money on companies that make money on the hypothesis that HIV is the AIDS virus. … Gallo stands to make a lot of money from patent rights on this virus. His entire reputation depends on this virus. If HIV is not the cause of AIDS, there's nothing left for Gallo. If it's not a retrovirus, Gallo would become irrelevant."[28]
As a reporter for the journal Science would later put it: "In the world of biomedical research, where ties to industry are pervasive but mentioning the fact is not, these are fighting words."[29]

MCLA Notebook: Minnesota, Texas State, MSU Coaching Changes and Offseason News
While the idea of a third division is likely to remain on ice for at least one more year, the addition of George Washington University to the MCLA is without question the biggest headline that the league has seen so far this off-season. While big programs finalize their cuts and continue through an unrestricted fallball process that includes more exhibitions and scrimmages than the NCAA, I think some sports knowledgeable eyes might get directed toward the Atlantic 10 Conference.
With Richmond making a quick transition from a short-lived MCLA stint to NCAA Division I over the next 18 months, the Colonials seem to be filling a void in the SELC for now, but are their other implications? The Atlantic 10 has sponsored a stable women's lacrosse league with GW and Richmond both being among the top competitors; the sport is growing, conferences are shifting by the day, UMass and St. Joe's are already in the DI mix… Who knows?

It's kinda hard in these threads about "how do you like Brand A mando" #just who has financial interest. #I know Steve does, and that's ok, everyone knows he's a dealer and a good one at that, #Gabriel sounds like he has an endorsement deal w/Eastman, so this would put him in the "have a financial interest" crowd.
It'd be nice if #the folks WITH financial interest stayed away from threads with the above topic, but I s'pose that's impractical and some probably feel would be unfair. #
If there are questions about a specific mando, hey, jump in, but I feel, IMHO,YMMV, etc...when folks are trying to make a decision about a major (to most) purchase, they'd be a lot better off hearing from regular folks, REAL pro's and con's from a consumer's point of view. #Not paid sales spiel

The annual awards dinner put on by the USO of Metropolitan Washington is a showcase of patriotism, bravery and celebrities.
This year's event featured actors Lou Diamond Phillips and Joe Mantegna, who were recognized for the visits they make to wounded sailors, soldiers and Marines, as well as the work they do that honors the military. There also were a good dose of professional wrestlers from the WWE.
But the night really was about service men and women, such as Air Force Lt. Susan Batzer-Frye, an intensive care nurse who flew medevac missions in Afghanistan, and Navy Cmdr. Angela Earley, a trauma surgeon who, during her first tour in Iraq, treated 900 injured Americans and Iraqi soldiers, as well as civilians.
They were among the six military service members honored at the Thursday black tie event from the Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, National Guard and Navy.
The annual Col. John Gioia award went to Kathleen Causey, wife of Sgt. 1st Class Aaron Causey. When Aaron deployed to Afghanistan for the third time, Mrs. Causey began volunteering for the USO near Fort Drum, N.Y.
Then came the news that her husband, a bomb technician, was injured on Sept. 7, 2011, while trying to defuse an improvised explosive device. The IED took off both of his legs above the knee and injured both hands. Suddenly, she went from being a volunteer to being a person in need.
"I came full circle," she said.
While helping her husband in his recovery – he now has artificial legs that he can walk on, though he also still uses a wheelchair – Mrs. Causey has become an ambassador for USO-Metro, going out on speaking engagements and giving interviews.
She moved many in the audience to tears as she paid tribute to the nameless mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sisters and brothers of wounded service men and women, who don't ask for recognition, who don't ask for respite, as they care for their family members.
"Don't think of me, think of them," she said in urging support for the USO.
Mrs. Causey also showed that she has some of the same spunk and energy that fuels Elaine Rogers, president of USO Metro. If you have met Rogers, you know that even the Joint Chiefs of Staff can't say no to her.
So, as Mrs. Causey closed her talk, she paid tribute to her Alabama roots: "God bless you, and Roll Tide," which drew laughter and cheers.
When Mantegna took the stage shortly afterward, he said, "You know, I think I just became an Alabama fan. Roll Tide. What can I say?"
The annual dinner is also about money and fundraising, and Thursday night's dinner raised $660,000. Over the years, the money from this dinner has gone to build USO welcome centers at airports, such as Reagan National in Washington, D.C., and at BWI in Baltimore.
The USO also has recently opened a Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. A second is planned at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
One surprise recognition went to John Marselle, USO board chairman, for his more than 20 years of volunteer work with the organization. Marselle is the former CEO of Robbins-Gioia, and had a long career with Sun Microsystems. As is fitting with his fun-loving personality, Marselle was given a Hawaiian shirt, which he put on instead of his tuxedo jacket.
And finally, I'll give a shout out to Boeing Co., the presenting sponsor of the awards dinner. Not only do they support the dinner, the company also pledged $700,000 and three years of support for a Mobile USO, a 34-foot RV that provides food and other support at military deployments and homecomings. It also can be used at other events.
So far, the Mobile USO has served 360,000 meals.
To paraphrase Mrs. Causey: Roll USO, Roll.

S/V SiyaSinana is an Admiral 40 blue water catamaran with new equipment, custom upgrades and luxuries that make cruising and living onboard an experience unavailable almost anywhere else. Purchased new and built in Cape Town SA in 2007, she has taken us across the Atlantic on an epic 8100 nm 47 day non-stop voyage to Annapolis. She rides so nice, not once did we have to even store the coffee pot or china, as they sat happily on the counter tops the entire journey and in all conditions. Our cruising areas since then have been east coast of the US, the Keys, extensive stays in the Bahamas and beyond.
It is an Owner�s Version, one owner, never chartered and a meticulously maintained cat with more equipment and live-aboard amenities than you will find in any boat of this size anywhere at this price. Most of the equipment and upgrades were done in 2011 and 2012. To us, it is all about comfort, safety, navigating and being able to cruise in luxury for long periods of time offshore, away from docks; on a fast boat easily handled by 1 or 2 and equipped with state of the art communication capabilities. We hope the pictures and descriptions assist you in understanding that this cat has no peer. If you are a couple or a family ready for a turnkey, fully loaded, luxurious blue water catamaran where everything works and there is nothing to fix, contact us here or email to garyateckisrealtydotcom.
While many of the vessels in the anchorage run their engines every night and every morning for hot water and electricity, SiyaSinana�with her brand new, enlarged Lifeline AGM battery bank, new wind generator, solar panels and on-demand propane hot water�often goes 3 days without charging or even starting an engine. Washer/dryer, turbo A/C and heat, satellite TV, not-to-be-beat communication and internet systems, combined with one of the most luxurious dry and protected cockpits make life on board everything cruisers dream of.
Making 25 gallons of fresh water per hour allows us the option to choose fresh water head flush (salt water flush can be rather stinky) and fresh water deck wash (washing topsides with salt water is a no-go for us). The dinghy was new in 2009, the generator was new in 2012; the 2-drawer fridge (the biggest and nicest fridge we�ve ever seen) was just put in. Full spec list and photos upon request or visit www.catamaransite.com and seek Admiral 40 in for Sale By Owner section.
The boat is currently in Hilton Head, SC..

Fleming's Steakhouse - Palo Alto
Online Reservations
Our first visit to Flemings with another couple. Excellent selection of wines. The steaks and side dishes were all cooked exactly as ordered and tasted delicious. Really enjoyed our meal and the waiter was attentive, even on a busy Saturday night.
So there is no lack of grills and steak places in the Bay Area, but Fleming's in Palo Alto is definitely one of the best! Everyone in our party of nine who were there to celebrate my wife's birthday really enjoyed their meals! The optional sauces, served on the side (very important!) were all very good and complemented the various cuts of perfectly cooked to order steaks! Everyone's steaks were cooked as ordered. The service was EXCELLENT! One sign of good service is all our orders were delivered at the same time. I don't mean two or three at a time by one server, but rather enough servers to deliver all the dishes together. Never empty water glasses and just the right amount of attention made for a perfect dinner!
Great place for a dinner meeting. Great food. You don't have to shout to be heard by other people at the table. The waiter does not rush you. From the time we entered, the hostess made us feel at home and so did everyone else.
We had a wonderful experience at Flemings last Friday. We stopped in for a lite bite to eat and ordered two of the small plates for dinner with a side of lobster mac and cheese. We recommend all of the dishes. It was just right. Our server was wonderful.
Fleming's was a great experience. From the choice of napkins to match our clothing, to the electronic wine list, to the generous portions of perfectly cooked food, to the lovely dessert choices, we had a terrific meal, and a special evening. Could not have been better!
We enjoyed our lovely dinner at Fleming's. Our server, Cash Ritchie was very attentive and accommodating. The baked brie is delicious...we ordered it as an appetizer, but it is tasty enough to be dessert!
Always superb/excellent; not inexpensive, but food quality, portions, service, etc. make it an excellent value...indeed, a most satisfying occasion. Perhaps the best endorsement comes from the fact that every time we've been to Flemings Palo Alto the place is packed. Also, we're impressed with (& appreciate) how the Maitre D' is constantly working the room & monitoring the kitchen to make sure things are running smoothly + he stops at your table to personally check on things. Visible, sensitive & caring! The staff is great; they all care and it shows!
Small plates, filet mignon on risotto, asparagus, short ribs, good and easy to share for a quick and tasty bite before a book club meeting. Wine list for 'by the glass' tastes good. Will try dinner some time.
A GREAT steak house. My husband had the best steak he has ever had and this speaks volumes. My daughter was going in for major surgery and we wanted to treat her to her favorite meal filet with chimichurri and molten lava cake for dessert -- they did not disappoint. She's still recovering from surgery and still can't eat solid but she wants to go there for dinner when she gets discharged fro the hospital.
Great local spot to get a yummy filet. Definitely try out their mac & cheese.
We went to there for our anniversary and our daughter's birthday dinner. The service and food are very fine. We will come back for next time.
Thanks to Steven our waiter who helped us nicely and polite to customers. Really appreciate it.
This was our third visit here, maybe fifth time at a Fleming's. It is always consistent. Excellent service, a nice evening out for meat eaters, but be prepared for pricey dishes. After a few appetizers, we had ribeyes and filet mignon. Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection, the service was very good, attentive but not obtrusive.
I am a huge fan of this restaurant my only complaint is that the lighting was too dim and my eyes were starting to hurt after a while. Our server Sandra E was Amazing! Very friendly and very sweet! Can't wait to come here again!
We always get great food. Sometimes difficult to get reservation times but it's always my first choice for special events.
Service was excellent from check-in to final check. Food was suburb and our waiter was good at noting special dishes and possible combinations. Great experience.
I usually come to this restaurant on sunday since I love their prime rib. Their prime rib dinner only serve on sunday. My friend and I both order the same, mine is pretty good but his prime rib a little bit over cook. This is the first time they cook a little bit over, but I still want to give it a try next time. The dessert are excellent specially cream burlee and the chocolate lava cake!
I was here twice, and ate different varieties of steak both times (and tried some of what my friends got). I tried filet mignon, which was very good at "medium rare" (but not so good at medium); I also tried peppercorn steak, which was not exactly to my taste - the pepper obscured the meat flavor. The signature side "Flemings potatoes" is good but it's so huge that I only ate a spoon or two of it before becoming full. There's an impressive wine list conveniently presented and categorised in different ways on an ipad.
The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. Very enjoyable.
The food was delicious but overly salted. I love the wine list on the ipad, too.
Excellent steak quality. Sides are a la carte; therefore, if you order a steak (or any other main item), that's the only thing that'll appear on the white plate. Came here to try the steakhouse since I've always passed by it during my shopping trips at Stanford mall. My party was a bit disappointed the plates are a la carte. We are use to having variety on the plates and just eating a big steak which seemed like a pound worth of meat was a bit overwhelming. I also had the lobster tails that was a bit overcooked since it was not very moist/flavorful. Added a side of the sauteed mushrooms and the flavor of the pepper smoked cooking style is much too alike from the steak. The free bread with the 2 kinds of spread was excellent!
Can't go wrong with any dish and the service was outstanding. The ambient noise is on the loud side and the tables are kind of big if there are only two dining. Suggest sitting on the side of your date as opposed to sitting across due to the noise level and distance. This place was highly recommended to me by a friend and I would high;y recommend this place too.
Food and services is always great at Fleming's Steak house. Excellent location for shopping and have dinner at Stanford shopping center.
Went there for wife birthday dinner. Overall a great experience. They treated her like a QUEEN! Food were great. We all loved it. Will be going back
The food was excellent but the service left a little to be desired. Call it a Sunday night effect but our waiter forgot one of my party's drink, salad, and we needed another waiter to refill our water. I'd go again for the food.
Very good experience - start to finish. We were not in a hurry but the food came out very quickly and efficiently. They work very well as a team to make the experience quite enjoyable. No complaints only rave reviews.
This was an amazing dinner. We came early in the evening so it was very quiet and we had almost the full attention of our server. I had the best salad ever it was a wedge, which is hard to do wrong but also hard to reinterpret. They placed a whole slab of blue cheese against the wedge of iceberg (I saved half of it for a yummy dessert with some of the bread). They also had a spicy piece of bacon on the plate which had a great balance to the dressing. I would come back just for this salad but luckily all of the food tasted as delicious. I regret not trying the Fleming potatoes from my husband but the way he talked about them I'm afraid I would have lost a hand trying to sneak a bite.
I came for the Father's Day Brunch. It was for a three course brunch with a $25 gift card for fathers. Very attentive service. The three courses came seamlessly. I gave 4* on food is because my medium rare Prime Rib came medium with no pink color and slightly dry. We enjoyed our experience and will come back again to experiment other stuffs on the menu.
Had great service with William, we closed the restaurant down, but never felt rushed, even the manager came by for a nice conversation! Would recommend if in the mood for red meat , had the scallops, excellent!
The prime rib special on Sundays is a great deal and very good, I had the prime rib at Sundance recently and it was dry and overdone so I was really happy that Flemings does a good job with it! The wine list is a little pricey but there are a lot of selections and they will let you try a couple of wines (that they have buy the glass) before buying a bottle. I don't like to feel rushed and I did on this occasion, our food came out before we were done with our salads and that is a pet peeve of mine. I've never had a bad meal here, and look forward to going back in the new location when it opens.
We were celebrating out friends bday the day we ate at Flemings , she had requested a steak house for her day. She wanted nice and casual. We arrived at Flemings, host was amazing, very friendly, we had reservations for ten ppl, at the end we were 11, but that was not a problem for Flemings, they happily accommodated us. Food was amazing, steaks were cooked just perfect, juicy, right portions, wine list was very good...... Overall Flemings was beyond our expectations! We definetely will come back in the near future. P.S. not recommended if you are in a budget
The food was second to none. Nice atmosphere and kid friendly. We felt a little rushed by the service.
For the best steaks in the South Bay, I think Fleming's win easily. Sure, there are other steak houses, but you can't beat the taste of a Fleming's steak. And they provide excellent service, great appetizers and other dishes, small plates, and a fine selection of vegetable side dishes. It's everything you could want from a steak house. But they didn't have fresh oysters on the menu which I think would be a good addition to make everything perfect. We loved the bone-in ribeye and the fillet mignon, the crab cakes, the salad, the mushrooms were wonderful, and sauteed spinach was great. Overall, if you want a great steak for reasonable prices, Fleming's is the best.
Went to Fleming's Steakhouse for my wife's birthday. We didn't tell them, but one of the kids mentioned it. Our waiter picked up on it immediately, wished her a very sincere happy birthday, and we thought that was it. But during the dessert course, our waiter brought her a $25 gift certificate and a box of truffles, and wished her happy birthday again, then left us to enjoy our wine (no embarrassing fuss or excesses). The unsolicited kindness made her night. The steaks were excellent, as always. But we were also impressed with the great sides, including the always excellent Fleming's potatoes -- a slightly spicy version of au gratain potatoes. Our salads were fresh, balanced and, frankly, beautiful. Our many thanks to Fleming's!
This is the 2nd time we dined at this restaurant. Both times we were not disappointed. The prime rib dinner is juicy and cooked as ordered. The side dishes that came with it are delicious and good servings, more than enough for one person. I will definitely come back again.
We had a wonderful birthday celebration - a great restaurant with fantastic service
My wife, 15-year old daughter, and I enjoyed an excellent dinner here. Service was excellent, and the food was very impressive. We are from the East Coast and enjoy the occasional outings to Morton's, but I have to say this place was even better. Both of my girls liked it a lot more than Morton's, and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We ate in their existing location - the new site is due to open in a few months and should be even better I'm told, but I'd highly recommend this place for a great steak if in the area. Also, since we had spent several days beforehand in Napa and had quite a few bottles of wine with us, they charged us only a $25 corkage fee, which ended up saving us well over $150 on the dinner bill.
We often go to Fleming's for special occassions and it never disappoints. The food and service is always excellent. There is not one thing I could complain about. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for an excellent steak with incredible sides. You have to have the lobster mac & cheese. It is pricey but you get what you pay for. I wish I could go there more often!
We really enjoy dining at Flemings. The steaks are done exactly as orders, sides are generous portions, and desserts are divine! Wait staff is outstanding and attentive!
Fleming's is a great steakhouse, maybe the best in the South Bay. They really have delicious steaks and just the right size. The calamari appetizer was exceptional and unique. The French Onion soup was delicious, but you've got to like cheese! We loved the salad. THe AtoZ pinot was excellent. And the cheese cake and turtle cake for desserts were delicious desserts. If I want a great steak dinner, Fleming's is at the top of the list.
Shopping at Stanford Shopping Center can leave you wanting good food fast. flemings offers a reliable place to take exhausted shoppers and out-of-towners. The steak and appetizers and dessert all accomplished our goals.
We love this place! It has a clubby atmosphere. The food is excellent, mostly steak but a good variety also. Some unusual items. We loved the beet and tomato salad. We celebrated a birthday and they presented us with a great gift at the end of the meal. It is a place that is high on our list to return....
We have been to Fleming's before in San Diego and fell in love with the menu and the ambiance. This time in Palo Alto everything was delicious except the swordfish that I order was fishy tasting. The manager, Sarah came by and was very accommodating and offered me other options and in the end credited our bill. I would have taken a replacement but we were running late for a concert. I love the wine pairing menu, the salads, sides, and desserts are amazing. My bf had the Sunday Prime Rib special which was amazing for the price. We will be back!
My friends and I enjoyed yet another great meal and ambiance. The staff was most helpful and friendly. One of my favorite Steak houses in the Bay Area.
Night out with my 5 year old daughter. The service is always great but tonight was exceptional in terms of consideration for my daughter. The food is always excellent. The one thing I really wish they'd shift their strategy on is the pricing of their kids menu - $15 for a kids meal is crazy especially given the very small portions for even a child. Otherwise it's one of our favorite mommy-daughter date night spots.
great prime rib dinner special on Sundays including salad, entree and dessert! delicious prime rib
The manager came over and introduce herself. When she saw us taking photos, she offers to take one for us and presented it on a frame. Thank you Susanna! The Prime rib was delicious! The deserts were 5 stars.
We have been to Flemings several times and while the food is wonderful, the service this time was not as exceptional as we have had in the past. While we advised them of a special occasion and it was acknowledged verbally, that was it. In the past we received some candy, even a picture which was so special and totally unexpected. While we will return, this evening was just not the same.
The Sunday prime rib special at Fleming's can't be beat! For $39.95, you get a choice of a wedge, Caesar, or house salad, a luscious cut of beef, a tasty side dish (big enough to share) and a choice of several amazing deserts! The baked brie appetizer is also a favorite!
We have dined many times at Fleming, but went last Sunday for the Prime Rib Special. We were not disappointed! Choice of 3 salads, one side and dessert are included plus the large slice of prime rib all for $29.95! Everything was delicious and cooked just as ordered. The wedge salad was one of the best I have had! And my husband had the house made carrot cake for dessert which he raved about. Once this restaurant reopens in it's new location at the mall, go get this meal!!

Elsewhere in that video Chappelle talked about people like Martin Lawrence and Bittney Spears goin' looney. He didn't want to go la-la too.
U think Wigward would learn anything from Dave's story?
I am not Schmoopy. Look at my avatar again before negging.
So is he dead?
Dave Chapelle ain't dead you asshole.
I just watched the entire episode of Chappelle on Actors Guild and he sounds very normal and definitely sane. After his father died, he re-examined his life and decided that show business was consuming all of his time and making him miserable. He decided to take off to South Africa for a while where no one knew him and he could regain normalcy in his life. He's since moved back to the Ohio town where he grew up and is spending time with his family. He does want to get back to work on his terms. I dig Chappelle.
i gave all 11 minutes rapt attention because chappelle is mah faaaaaavrit but...
no robot guy in the audience? bullshit.
