text: Home Politics Egyptians Are Not My Brothers I'm not buying the romanticism of sharing the pain of "fellow Africans." But that doesn't prevent me from sympathizing with their struggle. By: John McWhorter Posted: Feb. 9 2011 12:58 AM 0 Getty Images Only now am I becoming able to make peace with something that has nagged at me lately: I don't think of the protesters in Egypt as my brothers and sisters. There, I said it. I am heartened daily by their victories. If someone asked me to help in some way, I would do all I could. But I do not see the people in those streets as "my people." Some would say that I am supposed to. But here's why I, at least, am no longer feeling a pang of guilt when I see photos of Tahrir Square and do not see the faces as comrades of mine. Reason 1: We are to perceive the Egyptians as fellow "Africans," but designating people as culturally united simply because they share a landmass is dicey. Imagine the newspaper headline "Asians Found Adrift on Raft." We would be properly horrified at Chinese, Vietnamese and Sri Lankans being lumped together as one entity. Calling an Egyptian, a Senegalese and a Malagasy all one thing suffers from a similar problem. Spontaneously, most of us process Egypt as culturally a part of the Middle East -- because it is. Oh, but "black" Egypt was the source of the ancient Greeks' intellectual legacy? Well, for one thing, it wasn't (try here or here). And besides, the arrival of Islam in the seventh century made Egypt a culturally and demographically distinct place from the land of the pharaohs. And the problem only gets worse when you really think about what it means to treat an Egyptian, a Senegalese, a Malagasy and a black man from Detroit all as one thing. Black Americans are descended from Africans, but my, it's been a while, hasn't it? Some passages stick with you. In The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks, Randall Robinson described the media's downplaying of a pipeline explosion in Nigeria and despaired, "We don't know what happened to us and no one will tell us." "Us," says this black American writer from Virginia. It struck me: I am to sense the plight of Nigerians as immediately as I do the plight of black schoolchildren in Oakland, Calif. My circle of empathy certainly has room for Nigerians and other people I don't know and have not lived among or even near. But I cannot pretend that they occupy the same inner circle of my empathy as do the people I have spent my life knowing -- any more than a woman in Lagos is expected to be as starkly committed to what happens in Atlanta as she is to what happens in her own country. In the same way, I cannot honestly process the Egyptians as "us." I doubt that most black Americans can, and I'm not sure there is anything wrong with that … Page 1 of 3 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

You Lose These + Other Stories by Goldie Goldbloom
'Prepare to encounter startling epiphanies, wonderfully eccentric conceits, and standout instances of wit and observation begging to be re-read. Among its well-pitched moments of vulnerability are further surprises: much that's dark and sly, and – better still – twisted and bent.' — Tom Cho
'All fiction has elements of nonfiction to it. Not that Goldbloom's father (or anyone else, for that matter) dropped her off a roof, but all the scenes in all these stories are nearly unanimously that shocking, and that true, and that good … Did she ever taste muskrat? That's anybody's guess. But one thing's for certain: She can write well enough to make you think you did.' — Matthue Roth, Galus Australis
Short stories from Goldie Goldbloom, award-winning author of The Paperbark Shoe.

ProvidersOverviewEarly-childhood programs are delivered by a wide range of for-profit and non-profit providers—from individually licensed family child-care providers who care for children in their homes to large school districts that have expanded to include offering preschool as part of their mission. Other providers include churches, small and large social service agencies, and independent as well as nationwide for-profit child-care centers. Many businesses also offer on-site or nearby centers for their employees' children. Regardless of who the provider is, experts say that high-quality programs provide not just safe and nurturing care, but also contribute to children's cognitive development. This diverse mix of providers, however, has often been described as a "non-system," by experts in the field who argue that without a more organized structure and financial support, providers have little means to improve the quality of their programs and still keep care affordable for families. In recent years, school districts have assumed a larger role in delivering preschool programs. In fact, some states (Oklahoma, for example) require that their publicly-funded preschool programs only be administered by school districts. More commonly, however, states (for example, Georgia, N.Y. and N.J.) invite a variety of providers to participate, as long as they meet certain standards of quality. Sources

Biblical prophecy will be fulfilled
I am a God-fearing Christian whose Lord is Jesus Christ. I'm not a preacher, and this isn't a sermon. This is an attempt to wake up those who don't believe and the worthless preachers who preach feel-good sermons because they fear their congregations more than they fear God.
Fools say the universe came into existence all by itself. These are deceivers, and that is without exception. God created it all, including death and wrath for those who won't obey his commandments. Preachers need to preach that.
The time of the gentiles is almost fulfilled, and God has removed his protective hedge from this nation. This nation has turned its back on God and stuck its finger in his eye by condoning the murdering of babies, marrying of homosexuals, and rampant moral depravity. These are abominations to God.
Worthless preachers and nonbelievers should be aware of the signs of the times, for punishment draws near; hell from beneath is excited about you, to meet you at your coming.
Biblical prophecies clearly indicate we are in the last days and that people will suffer who are not willing to obey the Creator. Financial crises, corruption, hurricanes, droughts, floods, etc., will increase, and the horrible tribulation period will come. Every word written here is absolute truth, as is the Bible.
Fear God, keep his commandments, and help change this nation, for that is the only way God is going to allow it to survive.
Let me ask one question about the Glensford Drive fiasco. Would this ever happen to the residents of VanStory, King's Grant or Gates Four? You can bet your life not. It would never come up in someone's wildest dreams. This fight over Glensford Drive has been lost by the residents, but think about this: It could happen to you sometime in the future, and you will not be given a voice in the matter.

From dawn to dusk, fishing is available at Albuquerque's renovated Tingley Beach.
Stocked regularly with trout and catfish, the ponds at Tingley Beach offer fishing for anglers of all ages and abilities.
Bait and lures are allowed at Tingley's largest body, the Central Pond. The southern Catch and Release Pond is a favorite among local fly-fishers, and youngsters less than 13 years old have their own Children's Pond to enjoy.
New Mexico state fishing rules apply to Tingley Beach. Accordingly, everyone 12 years or older must have with them a current N.M. fishing license while fishing at Tingley.
Sustainable food in Albuquerque's backyard!
Josh Thomas, an Albuquerque resident, caught this 26.5 inch catfish using hotdogs as bait in the Tingley Beach, Central Pond on Friday night, August 1st.
Congratulations Josh. Looks like you'll be eating well tonight!

The Navy is putting unprecedented attention on reducing sexual assaults among sailors this year.
High-ranking Navy leaders are likening it to their crusade years ago to stop rampant drug abuse. They say sexual abuse is not only dehumanizing to victims, but also threatens their operational readiness.
Most sexual assaults in the Navy occur after a night of drinking. Officials say many of them could be prevented if someone had spoken up sooner to stop that chain of events. There have been more than 600 sexual assaults involving Navy personnel reported in each of the past two years.
Under a Defense Department initiative, a higher level of command will start addressing the most serious sexual assault offenses starting Thursday. In the Navy, that's someone at the captain level.

"Is there a gun where your child plays?" Asking this simple question is an important step every parent can take to help their kids stay safe.
About 1/3 of homes with kids have guns, many left unlocked or loaded. Just talking to your child about the dangers of firearms is not enough. Children are naturally curious. If a gun is accessible in someone's home, there is a good chance a child will find it and play with it. Countless tragedies have occurred when kids found guns that parents thought were well hidden or safely stored.
ASK was created in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Ford Maverick
The Ford Maverick is a small SUV that's great value for money, but one that never really caught on in the UK. It's pretty rare as a result, which makes it more attractive than some other generic models. With a rugged persona, good build quality and surprising off road ability, there's really nothing wrong with it and it's more than a match for most budget 4x4s out there. You'll be a bit of a maverick to buy one, but actually it's a great overall package that's certainly value for money.
Available in Europe between 2001 and 2006, it's one of the rarest Fords you'll see on the roads, but that doesn't matter in the slightest. Despite its limited run in the UK, the Maverick is hugely popular around the world, especially in the US, and modern versions are very beastly indeed. Only 2 models were released in Britain- the 2.0 litre Zetec and the 3.0 litre V6 Duratec, and similarities to its sister car, the Mazda Tribute, are obvious to see.
Regardless of its name which suggests something radically different from the norm, the Maverick is actually rather generic in terms of appearance. It looks like a stereotypical SUV and even updated versions are still rather bland. The bulbous front end is eye catching though, with a black plastic bumper which resembles some rugged stubble you'd commonly see on an adventurer. Inside things are a similar story to be honest- there's a lot on offer, but it's not particularly well styled. It's comfy and roomy however, and the list of kit is extensive too. The large boot won't be troubled by anything but oversized objects, which is good news.
While style and design might not be its strong suit, once you start up the engine and begin to drive, you'll soon see that cruising around is. It's lively for sure, but is also nicely composed and holds onto the road well, especially through the corners, thanks to some confident steering. The 4x4 system means it can head into the rough stuff and not throw a wobbly, and actually it's more than happy to drive over all but the worst of surfaces.
You may think that finding a used Ford Maverick might be quite a challenge due to its relative exclusivity, however it's not the case if you browse through the gigantic selection of second hand cars for sale here at Motors.co.uk. Not only will you see high quality across the board, but prices are significantly reduced too. Basically you'll pay even less for a car that's an uplifting bargain in the first place.
So while the Ford Maverick might not look particularly inspirational from both the outside and the inside, it still gives you a great driving experience, a whole heap of equipment and a high level of cabin space and comfort. It may have been ignored back in its prime, but the simple fact is this car offers an incredible amount of bang for your buck, and for that reason alone it's time to give it a second chance.

URGENT - senate guns

My previous post was mentioned over at maemo.org, with some speculation as to whether sixaxisd might work on the Nokia N900.
My initial thought was that with a small modification to sixpair, it would be possible to feed it an arbitrary BD address, so I started poking around in the source – and found that the feature is already there :D
You need the BD address of the device that you want to pair with the sixaxis – get this with hciconfig – run it (on the N900 – or whatever system) and you'll hopefully see something like this (I don't have an N900) :
# hciconfig hci0: Type: USB BD Address: 00:1A:80:2C:BE:D0 ACL MTU: 384:8 SCO MTU: 64:8 DOWN RX bytes:87170 acl:1503 sco:0 events:62 errors:0 TX bytes:574 acl:22 sco:0 commands:21 errors:0
Plug your sixaxis into some other machine via USB, grab (and compile) sixpair.c and run it with the BD address
wget http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixpair.c gcc sixpair.c -lusb -o sixpair ./sixpair 00:1A:80:2C:BF:D3 # use your own BD addr here
And that should be about it – unplug the sixaxis, continue with the instructions from the previous post and when you press the PS button, everything should work as if by magic.
If it does not, get more magic. Either way, leave a comment and let me know how it goes :)


text: The amount of injuries across MLB has been nothing short of ridiculous so far this year. It seems as though players are getting soft and missing gobs of time due to blisters and the flu. This is creating some very interesting situations in fantasy baseball leagues. Check your league standings and I will all but guarantee you that the healthiest team(s) are on top. With this knowledge it's now important to not only look for the best skills when searching for waiver wire pickups but also for durability. Getting the most games played out of your club is so important yet underrated in fantasy baseball. So, with this in mind let's look at some players who are out on the waiver wire who can help you rack up numbers game in and game out.

Since early October, families have been evicted from schools and churches where they had sought refuge after the storms destroyed their homes. Haiti 2008 © Gregory Vandendaelen /MSF International food aid reaching the community is clearly insufficient in quantity, unsuitable for the nutritional needs of young children, and is being distributed in a way that excludes single mothers. There is still no clear strategy to identify the needs, nor implement a proper nutrition response. Tags: Haiti Storms 2008, Natural Disaster |

"Did you wash your hands?"
How many times did you hear that today? Probably a lot. But why are adults so hung up on hand washing? Why are they so in love with lather?
Washing your hands is the best way to stop germs from spreading. Think about all of the things that you touched today — from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose in a tissue and then went outside to dig around the dirt.
Whatever you did today, you came into contact with germs. It's easy for a germ on your hand to end up in your mouth. Think about how many foods you eat with your hands.
You can't wear rubber gloves all day long, but you can wash your hands so those germs don't get a chance to make you or someone else sick. When germs go down the drain, they can't make anyone sick.
So when are the best times to wash your hands?
Now you have the when and the why of hand washing. But did you know that a lot of people don't know how to get their paws perfectly clean? The next time you're told to step up to the sink and scrub up, remember these handy hints:

Comments about Lowa Trident II GTX Winter Boots - Women's:
These boots are absolutely fantastic and I give them my highest recommendation. I couldn't believe they came in a size 5 which is very difficult to find. I have had really bad luck with boots that were supposed to be waterproof and were not and so far I have had completely dry feet. I love that they are warm in addition to being lightweight.

Comments about Lowa Trident II GTX Winter Boots - Women's:
My husband and I purchased these boots over 7 years for winter window cleaning and other outdoor activities requiring good traction. Mine have no leakage, while my husband's are just starting to exhibit some leakage when in real slushy conditions. (My husband has gotten alot more use from his and has not cleaned/treated/waterproofed the uppers in all those years) These are the most comfortable, warm and lightweight boots we've ever owned. We required something that wasn't bulky and easy to walk and kneel with, while being waterproof and warm. These fit all of those requirements. We don't do winter hiking, but would imagine that they would be great for that use as well. The stiff soles make walking feel more like wearing a hiking boot than a shoe, but if that is the trade-off for warm, dry and good traction we can handle that.

Characters Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Characters, Revised Third Edition)
Sextus Tarquinius
Sextus Tarquinius (SEHKS-tuhs tahr-KWIH-nee-uhs), or Tarquin, the son of the king of Rome and a friend and fellow warrior of Collatine. He hears from the latter of the chastity of his beautiful wife Lucrece and is seized with illicit desire. Like Faustus, he is the allegorical battleground of a good and an evil influence. His good side and his evil side engage in debate, and the evil triumphs. He is hypocritical, sly, and ruthless. Part of the joy in his brutal conquest of the chaste wife stems from sheer cruelty. After his violation of Lucrece, he suffers revulsion and slinks away in the night.
Lucrece (lew-KREES), the chaste wife of Collatine, devoted to her husband. She welcomes his friend as a trusted guest. When she is helpless in Tarquin's clutches, she uses all her intelligence and persuasiveness to try to save herself from him and him from himself, but in vain. After the event, she too becomes the battleground for internal debate: She is uncertain as to whether she should kill herself without telling her husband of what she considers her dishonor or to tell him all that has happened. She feels guilt in that her fear may have kept her from using all defenses possible against the ravisher. After making her decision to speak, she sends for Collatine and other Roman leaders. She wears mourning to...

This is a quick version of the Mexican soup that features hominy, or lye-cooked corn. I top it with crisp tortilla strips to give it a little crunch. Use leftover cooked turkey — or storebought rotisserie chicken.
4 corn tortillas
Nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 can (14.5 ounces) petite diced tomatoes with juices
1 cup canned drained white or yellow hominy
3 cups diced cooked turkey or chicken
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut tortillas in half then into thin strips. Arrange on baking sheet. Mist with cooking spray. Bake until crisp, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, oregano and cumin. Stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken broth, tomatoes with juice and hominy. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 to 30 minutes to blend flavors.
Stir chicken and lime juice into soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Dakotah Steakhouse
Online Reservations
Really enjoyed this place. Prime rib special with fried Mac was delicious and my wife's walleye was the best we've had at a restaurant, period. Finally there's a place that won't overcook fish! Only drawback for me was the beer selection. Something better than New Belgium, buffalo sweat, and ShockTop (as well as some other "hip" craft beers) would have been nice. Not that they're terrible, its just nice to have variety. Maybe crow peak's ipa and porter for more local stuff, or just some Odells even. Just ask the distributor. I'd go back whenever I'm in Rapid for sure!
The steaks were perfect as far as cooking, delivery, etc. but very small for the price. The sides were fair. Good beer and wine selections. Having the pairings on the menu was nice. The location is near some new hotels, so they're probably targeting travelers looking for a great meal and willing to pay for it. However, as a native South Dakotan that frequents the area, it seemed like a nice place to go for special occasions for a unique but pricey experience. Also, I got reservations for 7 on a Friday night at 7:30 based on the website's recommendation and they gave us a nice room to dine in, but the restaurant was almost empty and the reservation seemed silly. Maybe as tourist season picks up reservations will be beneficial.
I have been looking for a restaurant that understands how to make a good Prime rib dinner. They have it figured out. Fresh baked potato, perfectly cooked meat, yummy salad and bread. Reasonably priced and outstanding service.
We wanted a nice steakhouse close to our hotel. This fit the bill. The food was very good, but our server, Jackie, really made the evening something to remember. She was energetic and attentive without being overbearing.
This is a great locally owned steakhouse with an excellent menu. I've travelled all over, and this steakhouse right here in Rapid City is at the top of the list. You will get a great atmosphere, wine selection, and homemade desserts to top it all off. Enjoy!
Everything i had was absolutely delicious the steak melts in ur mouth!!! Mmmm delicious Totally worth every penny!!!
VERY happy with our choice to celebrate our 22nd Anniversary at Dakotas while on a brief vacation!! I looked it up on-line and it was all I expected it to be. The waitress was knowledgeable and friendly, and the wine was affordable and lovely. We loved the spicy peanut sauce with the buffalo skewers and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the cowboy bone-in ribeye that was perfectly cooked and came with the entire rib bone attached. My only disappointment was the dry-aged prime ribeye that did not live up to it's hype or price, although still a very delicious high quality steak. We loved our dinner, atmosphere, and waitress and will talk about it for years to come. Highly recommend!!
Very convenient for travelers staying along I-90. Had a tasty sirloin steak, reasonably priced, and my finicky wife enjoyed their chopped salad. Only service lapse was the failure of our waitress to offer dessert.
My custom size rib-eye was soooooo good! It was just the size I wanted. The walleye appetizer is scrumptious. Highly recommended! Georgeous inside!
I think it is an excellent place to go in Rapid City, with so many steak houses I like the menu that has different items. I would recommend the pheasant poppers and the dry aged rib-eye steak. Service was a bit slow but it was Fathers Day so I will take that into consideration. They had a reserved sign on the table for my open table reservation and we were seated exactly on time. Nicely done.
We were looking for a steakhouse and we found it across the street from our hotel! the Flat iron steak was great and my son talked about it for the whole rest of our trip! The bacon wrapped asparagus was not goot. They also ran out of macaroni and cheese! How does that happen! It seemed like our server was not in touch. We found out later that the table next to us was able to get the macaroni and cheese, the server just had to ask the kitchen to make more!!
Dakotah Steakhouse was a welcome treat in Rapid City compared to the many national fast/casual food choices. Filets were tender and perfectly cooked. Others have said that the restaurant is pricey, but the meal includes soup or salad plus a side dish. In many good steakhouses, everything is a la carte, so I thought the prices were a good value for a fine dining place.
This first time we dined at Dakota was very good (we returned three days later and it was not so good). They had a special soup, Beer & Cheese, that was excellent. My wife had a very good salad, and we split a tenderloin, which was cooked medium rare, exactly as we had requested. We each also enjoyed a glass of Merlot. The waitress was prompt and pleasant to deal with. We arrived after 6, so we did not get a discount, but we still thoroughly enjoyed the dinner, and it was close to the Garden Inn. It does sit on a busy highway, so don't expect a view. We thought it just a notch below Delmonaco's on this visit.
In Rapid City, South Dakota Saturday evening July 6, 2013. Ordered 2 of their signature Ribeyes, both medium. One was medium, one was medium well--- all brown. Not overcrowded, no reason not to get both cooked correctly. Not impressed. Salads good, Baked potato good.
Our experience was overall a good one. Our only complaint would be service was slow and we felt the food was a bit over priced for what you got. On a positive note the food was good and it was a nice atmosphere. Loved that they took reservations because it was busy.
We have visited your establishment for business luncheons last year for work and great meal every time. Would recommend to others as prices are good and food is excellent. Service and staff are always friendly. Would like to see them open again during lunch hours and not only 4 to 10 pm.
The service was great and the modern lodge type atmosphere was comfortable yet sophisticated and nice enough for a date or fine dining experience. The food was good, but I thought the prime rib was just on par with what I have had before. The ribeye was also good, but not any more succulent than what I have received at other places such as Texas Roadhouse or Lonestar steakhouse. You would go here for the experience and enjoy the food but from the two things we had you just enjoy the food, which was good but not memorably exciting. They did have a lot of other menu items that looked interesting and a great burger menu I hope to try next time.
The Dakotah Steak house has awesome staff and the food is delicious. My husband and I will continue to go to this place time and time again for our all our special occasions. This was also a fantastic place for my daughter and I to have a nice quiet mother daughter launch.
We went for a birthday dinner and couldn't have been more impressed. We had heard that the restaurant was hit or miss when it came to the food. It was a bit expensive, so I would mostly go for a special occassion, but you get what you pay for. Both of us had a ribeye, which was excellent, and the deep fried Mac n cheese was to die for. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to a friend.
We had a most memorable and enjoyable time at Dakota Steakhouse on our anniversary. Everything was just perfect. We will NOT wait until our next anniversary to grace your presence. See you soon.
My wife had a spinach salad and I had the Elk Ravioli. The salad was large and served with pecans, mandarin oranges, tomatoes, and a balsamic vinaigrette. The ravioli was spectacular. The pasta itself was fresh and al dente, while the elk sausage filling was lean and full of flavor. The sauce of the ravioli was cream-based with porcini mushrooms, corn, and light cheese flavor (likely Parmesano-reggiano). The ravioli was aptly-priced, $23, so I definitely felt like I got what I paid for (a generous and fresh portion with salad and a side). I paired it with a $6 Savignon-Blanc. Service was fast and friendly. We had asked for a more "intimate" seating as it was our anniversary and they accommodated us well! We'll be back for sure!
We went there to celebrate a birthday. The food was excellent. The walleye fingers were absolutely wonderful. The Kansas City Strip Steak was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly and then topped off with a pat of seasoned butter. They have a nice wine selection as well. Will definitely be going back again and again.
Ate a Dacotah Steakhouse with a group of seven. Service was great for our fairly large group and the steak I had was excellent. Large enough portion to share. Have also had yummy desserts here before, too.
When I walked in I was immediately won over by the beauty of the establishment. I had made an online reservation and we were seated right away, no waiting. The food was excellent, the steaks are very tender! All in all, we will probably be back again in the near future.
We are going X-country. It's across from Marriott so very convenient. Sioux Falls shuts doors at 9 at most restaurants so we were expecting the same in Rapid City. This place served late, good food. Salad was fair, but meals were great. Elk ravioli was excellent and flat iron steaks were cooked perfectly. Creme brûlée was nice topper. Friendly service and informative.
Arrived early could enjoy a cocktail at the bar....had one of the best margaritas I have ever had.. We had asked the manager if she could ask the chef that we would request center cut filets...said she didn't know what center cut was..my husband ask her to just tell the chef he would know...a few minutes later the chef arrived with two beautiful filets to show us the steaks he had picked for us. They were beautiful...I ordered med rare, my husband medium. When they arrived mine was medium as was my husbands...mine would have much better cooked rare...when the creme brûlée arrived for dessert forgot all about the steak. It was wonderful....it was an enjoyable evening. But an expensive run of the mill steak house...
We came over for a birthday dinner for two. The atmosphere and ambience was wonderful. We were seated in a room with two other groups. The server was very attentitive, and personable. The food was also impecable. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to all of the people I know. Thanks for a great dinner! We will be back!
Our server, Brianna, made our visit most enjoyable. We celebrated our daughter's 28th birthday with our family - nine in all. The menu was varied and enough choices for all. The onion ring appetizer is wonderful with 8 onion rings served on a horseshoe (great food, maybe needed two more rings!) Steaks and burgers were served at the proper doneness. The chicken noodle soup was delicious and "foodies" would like the lavosh cracker touch although us older ones would prefer regular crackers. All in all, a great experience and be sure to sign up for the rewards program!
With celiac disease becoming more frequently diagnosed, more restaurants are educating their staff about what does and what does not contain gluten. Although Dakotah Steakhouse would sound pretty safe for someone with celiac, breading and flour for thickening abounds -- even on a steak -- and there seems to be no process for following through on a diner's request for a gluten-free meal. They caution that every sauce may contain gluten and then serve with sauce and breaded onion rings for decoration.
Great food, top-notch ambience, and outstanding service (Brandi). It could not have been a better night. Thank you!
We love Dakotah Steakhouse! A really great range of food. Interesting options if you like interesting, but also a safe choice for those who have more traditional SD palates. Every time we leave, we say - that is one of the best meals we've had! Some of our favorites are the walleye fingers and the filet mignon. I have not had one thing that I haven't liked. Should definitely try the fried mac & cheese and the bacon-wrapped asparagus. So good!
My husband and I ate here for the first time over the weekend for our anniversary and we were both very impressed. The food was excellent, the portion sizes were just the right size and the ambience was very nice. The only complaint I had was that a large group of tourists showed up, were seated at the table next to us, and talked very loudly during our time there. That wasn't the restaurant's fault though. We will definitely be making a return trip and have already recommended this place to our friends.
The buffalo ribeye was fit for an Indian Chief. Don't miss the mushroom bread pudding if offered, a plesant alternative to potato with red meat. Woman said beef noodle soup outstanding. No rye whiskey sort of a downer. only found in top drawer establishments these days.
I thought this restaurant was out of our league when I heard of it's opening in the Rapid City area. We received a $25 gift card in the mail and decided to pull up the menu to see how atrocious the prices were. Actually we compared the price to Chili's which is much less elegant . The servers and hostess were WONDERFUL people, and I mean people. They had personality and relationship. The food was superb. I had a wild caught Alaskan salmon salad and my husband a salmon BLT with sweet potato fries. We will go back! I also want to encourage Dakotah's that their marketing scheme worked. We would have never come in the door, base on false judgments. I am excited now to eat each of the lower cost items on the menu and bring extended family.
My wife and I celebrated or anniversary here. We had a wonderful Dining experience the food was wonderful, the staff was very gracious And made us fill very welcome to guest here. We where surprised at the wait time on a Tuesday evening and was glad we had made reservations and we where seated very close to our reservation time. Our experience was very nice and look forward to when we can do it again.
I took my friend here for her birthday and we had a wonderful time. The server was outstanding, very personable and helpful. The atmosphere was terrific, busy but not rushed, we had a great booth and were able to talk without having to shout. The food was really good, not outstanding (my steak was a little overdone but the scallops were excellent) but for Rapid City it is a top choice. I would go here again!
Wonderful quite ambiance with a great three sisters house soup. Well priced steaks and bison. Pleasant service but a little on the in-attentive side. Nice relaxing place and good value for the price.
I like to take my guests to this independent restaurant. The bison bone appetizer and three sisters soup are favorites.
Prices seemed very affordable. Pheasant poppers were extraordinary. Felt like we got to sample South Dakota flavors. Don't know if it is a chain, has a polished look of a chain restaurant, but unique spin on food. Our 8 year old son loved it, so variety of food for all ages. Nice wine and bourbon selections. Steak may have been my least favorite item, and it was very good. We enjoyed ourselves and were very pleased with the food. We highly recommend.
Beautiful atmosphere, excellent food enjoyed it very much.
Always love eating here. Steak was a weird triangle shaped cut that would be hard to cook medium rare so the edges were burnt black.
The food was amazing. I really loved the buffalo skewers. I highly recommended the fried mac and cheese. The decor truly feels like South Dakota. The only thing I didn't like was the service. The server didn't took out coats, we hang them on the coat our self. She never gave us plates for our appetizer. By the time our main plates arrive our table was full of places and she didn't take them away.
Our servier was exceptional! We had a party of 7 and we were in the private room. All of our food was exceptional!!!! Food and drink order was all correct, food was hot and presentation really great. We all had a fantastic time thanks to your establishment and waitress! From the time I scheduled our dinner on line to calling to make sure everything was good the day of our reservation it couldn't have gone any easier or food any better. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.
I love your steaks (Filet Minon)! Always cooked properly! Classic Hamburger Dry and salty. (first time) I ate less than half and I rarely waste food. Christopher did OK for service but when I receive my entree and I am still eating my salad I am not a happy camper. He did take care of our every need. The braised buffalo rib appetizer was exceptional as always. I wish the entire meal was as good.
I ordered the spinach salad. I love it!!! I am vegetarian and order it without bacon. Alas, when I got to the last of the salad, there were lots of bits of bacon. I picked it out and finished the salad. I let the server know. The manager came over, apologized, and comped the salad, which she didn't have to do. I very much appreciated it. My husband had a steak, and it was perfect! The Creme Brulee we shared was fantastic. The wine I had was wonderful and went very well with my salad and the dessert. A great dining experience. Yes, we will go back. And yes, I will order the spinach salad again!!
I had always wanted to go to Dakotah Steakhouse, but had a hard time finding the time. Now that I have experienced this restuarant, I cannot wait to go back! Fantastic menu selection and the steak is out of this world. The service was fantastic, I could not have asked for a better waitress.
One of the higher priced places in town to eat but also one of better looking places. Very nice inside and out but no view what-so ever. Great place for that special occasion.
Everything was very good to great. However, the wine list could have a few more selections and one of the deserts was not in the same class as the rest of the meal.
we had a group of four. Food was excellent, all had steaks, which were done precisely to desired temperatures. Onion rings and pheasant poppers before dinner were also quite tasty.
the steaks really should have more then 1 side the plate looks very sad showing up with jst the steak and 1 side I know other sides are optional but got peets sake dress it up its a $40.00 steak for cryn out loud if your going here to eat I don't recommend but if your going just to be out and have the money to eat another meal again to fill you up its a good start

Math Model Helps Predict Olympic Medal Winners
Researchers used economic principles to predict which countries would win the most medals at the London Olympic Games. The study was 95 percent accurate for the 2008 games. And this time around, it was 97.7 percent accurate.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
And that brings us to our last word in business, which is medal futures. We're talking about Olympic medals. Before the London Games, we spoke to Emily Williams. She's a researcher from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.
She was part of a team that used economic principles to predict which countries would win the most medals at the Games. Now she's doing the tally on the actual results.
EMILY WILLIAMS: So the U.S. won the most gold and the most overall.
MONTAGNE: A total of 104 medals for the U.S., 46 of them gold.
GREENE: Now that is a little off from what the Tuck team predicted. Their formula showed that China would take home the most gold medals. Still, a lot of other predictions were spot on, thanks to a mathematical model that considered four factors.
WILLIAMS: The first one is population. The second one is GDP per capita, which is resource per person. The third one is how you did in the previous Olympics. And finally, we have the host effect.
MONTAGNE: The host effect is the home field advantage for the host country. In this 2012 Games, Great Britain, of course. The study was 95 percent accurate for the 2008 Games.
GREENE: And as for this time around for the Summer 2012 Olympics, it was 97 percent accurate.
MONTAGNE: Which gives us, I guess, David, a last chance to say, what do you think, a gold?
GREENE: A gold medal in our book, Renee.
MONTAGNE: OK. That's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
GREENE: And I'm David Greene.

I hail from the blistery cold Northern Maine, where I am a freshman in college. I used to RP A TON in my youth (Age 12 - 15) and off and on in high school. I have a ton of time on my hands this semester and I've been nostalgia-ing HARD. I miss RPing. I have a wide-range of characters, plus ones that I make up on the spot. I prefer one-two paragraph posts and OC. I don't really get into the whole using pre-created universes, I love being able to create my own.
Offline, I have a double major and a minor, plus I am in an Improv Club. I love talking OOC, so if you want to talk, feel free!
