Description Report Fraud
Buick Gran Sport Stage 1, Silver, for sale in Charlotte, North Carolina, price on application.
Very rare '72 GS Stage 1 Coupe, one of only 101 cars produced with the 4-speed manual option, and one of only 3 to be produced in Silvermist. A thorough rotisserie-style restoration was completed in 2007, where the car was transformed into a resto-mod. With intentions of retaining the stock appearance of the Stage 1, only NOS parts were used to restore the body, and outside of the switch plate, lower gauges, and shift-light, the interior appears in stock form. With that being said, this is where the real fun begins…modern suspension components were merged with the original suspension parts to create a car that handles great, looks awesome, and rides comfortably. The drivetrain is based on a 1970 Buick Stage 1 block bored over .030 and fitted with many high-performance parts delivering 550 horsepower, and is mated to a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed. Included with this car is a host of build receipts, photo documentation, original warranty book, original owners manual, and other original books that were included when the car was new. Fisher body and Buick chassis service manuals will also be included with the car. The chassis, suspension, braking, and drivetrain systems have all passed an intensive and thorough inspection by one of our trained restoration specialists, so you can have peace of mind driving and enjoying this powerful car. This car is showing to have 87,112 miles on the odometer; the actual miles are unknown. Included with the purchase of this Hendrick Performance vehicle, is the rare opportunity for you and up to 3 of your friends to tour and take delivery inside the breath-taking Hendrick Heritage Center. Stepping inside this private museum, that very few have had the privilege to experience, will take you back in time to when the American muscle car ruled the streets, and show you the story of Rick Hendrick's heritage and his amazing private collection of rare and high-performance cars.Specifications

A survey of a wide-ranging mix of U.S.-based arts organizations shows that the internet, social media, and mobile connectivity now permeate their operations and have changed the way they stage performances, mount and showcase their exhibits, engage their audiences, sell tickets, and raise funds.
These organizations are even finding that technology has changed the very definition of art: 77% of respondents agree with the statement that the internet has "played a major role in broadening the boundaries of what is considered art."
"For most of these organizations, technology suffuses their operations and their engagement activities with their communities," noted Kristen Purcell, research director at the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, and a co-author of the report. "They are using the technologies to expand their offerings, grow and diversify their audiences, and bring technology users into the act of creating art itself."
Some 1,244 arts organizations that have received funds from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in recent years took this survey.
The survey results reported here are based on a non-probability sample of 1,258 arts organizations that received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in the years 2007-2011. Of these 1,258 organizations, 1,155 completed the entire survey; all percentages reported are based on those answering each question separately. The sample is not a probability sample of all arts organizations because it is not practical to assemble a sampling frame of this population. Instead, Pew Internet submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to obtain the list of all arts organizations that received grants from the NEA during the 2006-2011 time period. Several individuals from the same organization may have been awarded NEA funding during that time period, thus the sample file Pew Internet received included 5,773 grantees representing 3,644 separate arts organizations. To improve response, advance letters and email invitations to participate were sent to the full list of grantees, and grantees were asked to coordinate with colleagues so that each organization completed the survey only once. The final sample includes organizations of all sizes, from very large to very small, with widely varying operating budgets, staff sizes, and organizational missions. It also includes organizations from disciplines across the arts world. Though there is no national registry against which we could compare this sample, it is possible that it skews toward larger and older organizations compared to all the arts organizations in the country. The nature of the sample also means that smaller organizations among the grantees will have a bigger voice in the survey since they tend to be more numerous – and yet may serve smaller numbers of people in the aggregate. This is inherent in any organizational survey that includes organizations of very different sizes.

So it begins.
I doubt it though. will see.
So the Yankees way.
Just saw this on twitter. Very very interesting.
I'd be so happy if we just scrap the $189MM plan and get Hamilton and Greinke. But it won't happen.
Welcome home, Urban
Bye Cano....

To be honest, I prefer Hamilton long-term than Cano. When old, Hamilton can still hit balls out of the ballpark. Though Cano, I can see gaining weight as he gets old.
cashman working his ninja GM magic. wouldnt shock me if he signed hamilton and traded one of cnao and granderosn the same day. then everybody here proclaiming the demise of the yankees will starting doing jigs again until the next time minor things happening causes the sky to fall
I doubt it, unless he wants to play for one year at 25mil lol

The Mariners are serious about signing Josh Hamilton.
Seattle has discussed three-year deals with Hamilton in the range of $20 million to $25 million per season, according to Major League sources.
Ummm how come we always get stuck with 7-10 year deals?
3 years for Hamilton....... HELL YEAH. $70mm 3 year deal..... that is awesome. No long crap contract
Yankees were probably offering one-year deals so they could have enough for Hamilton.
3 years for hamilton? i'd be all over that

Will he support down-sizing our bloated military?- Bloated is a matter of perspective, but usually reducing military strength is not considered when a country is currently engaged in a war. The same view prevails when a region of the world is extremely hostile and highly unstable.
Will he support eliminating wasteful Big Oil subsidies?-Probably not. He represents constituents who are directly benefiting from the largest oil boom in modern history and most are not employed by "big oil".
Will he support ending corporate farm subsidies?- Probably not. This policy has only led to artificially fixed prices though the money missing from your wallet is very real, but he will support the conservative agenda.
We he support closing tax-loop holes for corporations and the super rich?- I believe his no votes have already answered that
Will he support ending the 80 billion dollars in annual welfare we provide the wealthy nation of Israel?- Again, it is not considered prudent to abandon an ally in a very hostile and unstable region in the world.
Do you not realize current tax receipts will not cover entitlements and interest? Everything else could be cut to zero and still not have a balanced budget.
At what point will you abandon the cliche talking points and acknowledge the obvious?

Searching contexts within localities
Searching contexts within localities
Localities are perforated with places for gathering, waiting, congregating, gossiping. These could be a tea shop, a courtyard, a staircase, a barber's shop, a cobbler's tent, a broken lamppost by a roadside, a PCO booth, a book shop, a park, a gymnasium. Each of these spaces holds multiple narratives and stories of life journeys. Locating, thinking, enhancing, re-activating dormant or forgotten places is crucial in understanding the matrix of cultural and intellectual life of a neighborhood.

Yesterday, two Muslim men were removed from a flight originating in Memphis. Flight 5452 was a commuter flight heading to Charlotte. These two men boarded the flight in full Islamic clerical garb.
Passengers felt uncomfortable with those two on board and the pilot returned to the gate, the men were removed and subjected to more screening.
What happened next?
What do you think happened next?
The men told the passengers, crew and security that they understood the concern people had following the death of Bin Laden and they were sorry their fellow Muslim had killed thousands of Americans on 9/11. That is what should have happened.
Instead, they immediately raised a stink about it, calling the terrorist supporting Council for American Islamic Relations.
One of the men, Masoud Rahman, said "its racism and bias because of our religion and appearance and because of misinformation about our religion. If they understood Islam, they wouldn't do this."
Actually, Americans understand Islam quite well. We remember 9/11. We remember 7/7 in London. We remember the attacks in Madrid. We remember the beheadings and the honor killings.
Yes, we Americans understand Islam very well.
Prior to 9/11, there was at least one dry run that was done. That one was detected and the Islamists were kicked off the plane. CAIR sued over that one and it ended badly.
In 2006, six "Imams" were removed from a US Airways flight for acting suspiciously. In what many think was a preplanned strategy, CAIR sued the airline over this as well as the American passengers who complained about the flying Imams.
Islam and its politically correct allies have been trying to suppress our natural instincts since 9/11. As human beings we have a remarkable ability to sense something is wrong, even if we cannot put our finger on exactly what it is. We call that our gut feeling. Behavior experts tell us that our gut feeling is almost always right. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
Of course, this is just what the Islamists and the liberal PC police want to suppress. This is why we go through the theater of the absurd at airports and if DHS has its way, in a lot more places. This is why six-year-old girls get fondled at airports while Islamists just breeze through security. After all, in our PC world, we have to consider a six year old girl or a ninety year old man using a wheel chair and on oxygen as much of a threat as a young Muslim man acting suspiciously.
We are constantly told we have to be "sensitive" to the feelings of Muslims. When are they going to start being sensitive to the feelings of Americans? Americans remember 9/11. We remember the beheadings. We also remember groups like CAIR, who are not in the least concerned that Americans are worried or might even be killed in a Muslim terrorist action.
One of the Muslim men, Masoud Rahman said, "It is ridiculous. It does not happen in any country, and this is a civilized society."
Yes, this does happen in other countries. We are a civilized society. We have also been victimized by terrorism and we are not going to let that happen again.
We remember.

This is what I remember most:
My old buddy Eddie, who had been a policeman in NYC, was at the world trade center that morning. He was there to go to his life insurance agent's office. Outside, he saw a fire truck and stopped to talk to some guys he knew. He waved at one fireman who was working with a hose. Suddenly something fell on his buddy in the distance and he almost started to run to help him up, until he realized it was a body that had fallen on him. He looked up and suddenly realized the building was starting to come down. He turned and ran "....As fast as I had ever run in my entire life." Some city blocks later, he fell down and grabbed the wheel of a car, as he was throwing up from the sprinting he hadn't done in years. He quickly realized what had just happened and he ran straight back into the dust and concrete air. He added, "I left my BUDDY back there...."
For the next two weeks he searched through the smoldering rubble with a 5 gallon bucket, and he said he kept thinking (at least for the first few days) that there HAD to be somebody alive in that pile. But he never found anyone; only body parts. Eventually, his wife found him and insisted on taking him home. He kept telling the nurse he was fine and kept taking short naps. He admitted that every time he closed his eyes, he could not tell if he was dreaming and asleep, or seeing the same horrifying scenes in his mind, over and over again. He concluded it didn't matter, he just had to get back out there and FIND somebody alive. The City of NY gave him tiny badges of honor which he carries in his wallet, with a lot of pride.......for helping out.

Chevrolet reveals new concept cars, targets younger consumers
According to U.S. Census data, there are 80 million American consumers approaching 30.
And it's no surprise car companies want their business.
"Today's younger generation will be a driving force in the automotive market in the years ahead," said Mark Reuss, President of GM North America.
Chevrolet launched its new 2013 Sonic RS at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It comes with a 138-horsepower engine, and sportier look than the non-RS models.
Reuss said rather than advertising on television, the car company has chosen to go online to promote the new 2013 Sonic, which will be available at the end of this year.
Chevrolet also revealed two brand new concept cars with traits they say young buyers want - style and performance.
The Code 130-R is a four-seat coupe. The Tru 140s is based off the same platform as the Chevrolet Cruze and the Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle with extended mileage.
Check out the new cars in this video:

He gritted, he groaned and he grumbled. But Andy Murray was also gutsy, and late Saturday afternoon he managed to score a third round victory over Lithuania's Ricardas Berankis.
Murray's 6-3 6-4 7-5 win sends him into the fourth round of Australian Open 2013 after he saw off the challenge of Berankis, a talented 22-year-old qualifier on the comeback from injury and rapidly rising back up the ATP rankings.
"It was a tough match. He takes the ball very early, hits the ball very flat compared to most players on the tour. And when the ball is between his hips and his shoulder, he hits the ball extremely well. He's got very good timing," Murray reflected.
"He made it tough."
Berankis said following his second round win over Florian Mayer that he had not once played on a centre court at a Grand Slam event. When he took to Rod Laver Arena against Murray, it showed.
A bundle of errors, the Lithuanian was down 3-0 in the blink of an eye, but thankfully got on the board at 1-3 with a winning forehand-overhead combination.
With the Scot clutching at his shoulder in the fifth game, and Berankis bringing up four break points, it seemed that the tide was turning. But wasteful errors from the qualifier snuffed out that opportunity. As Murray continued to execute perfectly and Berankis frequently erred, it was soon 5-1.
Yet Berankis began to find his own range. A few big forehands saw him accrue more break points, and this time he capitalised, tripping Murray up as the Scot served for the set. A hold in the eighth game and more break points in the ninth followed, but the third seed's serve came to the rescue.
Down a set, Berankis soon began to display the game that made him a world No.1 junior and former world No.73. Although Murray is noted for his creativity and panache, the Lithuanian showed some variety of his own, mixing some off-paced slices, drop shots and artful volleys into his increasingly rock-solid baseline game.
Murray was labouring, and soon the trademark ranting at his support camp began. While that was happening after almost every lost point, Berankis had forged ahead 4-2, breaking in the sixth game after a cold return winner two points earlier.
A champion's response was required, and Murray – who can now call himself one following his 2012 US Open victory – produced just that, lobbing truly on his way to scoring the immediate break back. Soon the errors had returned to Berankis's game, and he surrendered his serve in the ninth game.
Murray made no mistake of serving out the second set.
The Scot gained a vice-like grip over the match early in the third set. He raced to 0-40 in the third game before playing a low angled slice that forced the volley error from his opponent, helping him secure another service break.
Yet Berankis wasn't finished. Banging a backhand winner down the line for 0-30 as Murray served for the match, he smiled, clearly relishing the moment. A few points later, Murray erred, drawing big cheers from the crowd and an air-punch from the Lithuanian, who had levelled at 5-5.
It was an extremely short-lived comeback. Running hard, Murray chased down Berankis's big shots and forced the errors, breaking to 15 and earning another crack at serving for the match.
He made no mistake of it this time, celebrating his straight-sets win after two hours and 12 minutes.
He will next face the winner of Saturday night's match between Gilles Simon and Gael Monfils.
"Gael and Gilles are both tough players. They do extremely consistent. Gael is probably the best - in my opinion - athlete that ever played the game. When he's injury free, he's a very tough guy to beat. And Gilles the same. He's caused guys lots of problems before. He pushed Roger to a very tough five set match here a few years ago. He's getting closer to the top 10 in the world," Murray said.
"Both (are) tough matches, and I'll need to play better than I did today."

Its my favorite, I tell everyone I know about it!
I have to say that this soup was the biggest disappointment of The Optimist. It tasted like hot watered down crab flavored cream. There wasn't a single piece of crab in this soup! I'd say the executive chef needs to make a trip to Charleston and taste she-crab soup... stat. At $9 a bowl, I expected a bit more...
OMG, it's da bomb!
I have to agree. This is the best steak tartare I have ever eaten in my life and I have been to some of the best steakhouses in the country.
As a vegetarian, I didn't have a problem with this list at all. Then again, as someone who has been a vegetarian for so many years, I have become accustomed to the fact that most people are not vegetarian. I found the separate list for veggie entrees quite progressive. I guess it's a glass half full sort of thing.
I've got to disagree about this making the list (though I suppose that's what lists are about). I had it last week. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it and absolutely nothing memorable about it. A good bisque will beat this any day of the week.
I found this list pretty alienating to me as a vegetarian. Even most of the salads listed contain meat. Not only do most of the 100 dishes feature meat, but there's a meat section in addition! Not a very diverse, well rounded, or even healthy list. I feel like a lot of Atlantans are a little more progressive than represented. Hope that's the case.
Finally! A "Top Whatever List" for Atlanta Restaurants without someone listing the completely over-rated Burger at Holeman And Finch!
You missed some places. Indian: Zyka, Chat Patti, Mirch Massala, Gokul Sweets. The Ethiopian restaurants off Briacliff. Also where is Penang ??? And the rest of Buford Highway??
Revolution Donuts are really good. I only wish they were cheaper.
'Grace Kim' - It's definitely on the list. Here's a direct link:
love this article but a bit annoyed that the front page pic is not an item on the 100 list. it is dol sut bib bim bap, or mixed veggie & beef rice in a stone bowl. i want to know what restaurant this is from
LOVE, love, love Revolution. So glad they're right in my neighborhood, too!
I am sorry, but Krispy Kreme is still my favorite by a landslide.
My favorite place for breakfast in town!! You gotta try it if you haven't...:)!!
My last meal would probably be a #1 from McDonald's (super sized of course with a Coke or Dr Pepper) and mayo/ketchup mix for the fries. Any location would do I guess.
Y'all are crazy to not mention the fennel dumplings. Or the cilantro dumplings. Or the lamb dumplings...
This is the best breakfast plate in town!

You are hereresident home.places to visit.scarva visitor centre
Located in the village of Scarva, Scarva Visitor Centre invites you to trace the history of canal building and the role of the Newry Canal in the linen industry. Interpretative boards within the Centre help to explain the building of the Canal, its trade and Scarvas role within this. The highly acclaimed Scarva Tearooms are located within the Centre and serve as a place to relax after exertions on the Towpath or simply to enjoy the tranquility of the canal side setting.
The village of Scarva stands on the very western boundary of the District and on the main road west of Banbridge. It rests beside the Newry Canal Towpath, one of eight long-distance Waymarked Ways in Northern Ireland. The Canal operated for over 200 years and provided employment and generated wealth for the towns and villages along its length. However, the growth of the railway industry had disastrous consequences for the Canal and eventually led to its closure in 1947.
The area boasts magnificent archaeological sites such as the Danes Cast and Lisnagade Fort. In June 1690, an army of 30,000 men camped in the Scarva area for training before marching on to meet the forces of King James at the Battle of the Boyne on 12th of July 1690. Whilst training his army, King William is said to have camped under a magnificent Spanish chestnut tree. The tree still flourishes to this day and measures over 25 feet in circumference at the base. Each year, a Sham Fight takes place on the 13th of July on the old training ground used.
Every summer, Sunday afternoon band concerts take place at the Centre making Scarva an ideal destination to spend an enjoyable afternoon. Opening Times April 30 October: Tuesday Sunday & Public Holidays 9.30am 5.30pm 30 October - Christmas: Tuesday - Sunday & Public Holidays 10am - 4pm Location Main Street, Scarva, Co.

Sometimes, when a party owes others legal duties, the party posts a surety bond to guarantee their performance. The surety bond is like a security deposit, with the party promising to do something as the renter and person they owe obligations to, or obligee, is like the landlord. Thus, if the party that made the promise fails to perform their duty, the obligee is compensated out of the bond.
For the marriage, divorce, and adoption laws of the states see the LII table pages on those subjects: Adoption Law | Divorce Law | Emancipation of Children | Marriage Law
A child is a person and not a subperson over whom the parent has an absolute possessory interest. The term "child" does not necessarily mean minor but can include adult children as well as adult nondependent children. Children are generally afforded the basic rights embodied by the Constitution. See Civil Rights of Children.
This page links to the laws of the states dealing with the "emancipation" of minors, that is, the provisions dealing with when and on what conditions children are released from parental authority and become "adults" for important legal purposes..

During the early 1500's in England landowners found it advantageous to convey the legal title of their land to third parties while retaining the benefits of ownership. Because they were not the real "owners" of the land, and wealth was primarily measured by the amount of land owned, they were immune from creditors and may have absolved themselves of some feudal obligations. While feudal concerns no longer exist and wealth is held in many forms other than land (i.e., stocks, bonds, bank accounts), the idea of placing property in third party hands for the benefit of another has survived and prospered. This is the idea of a trust.
The legal union of a couple as spouses. The basic elements of a marriage are: (1) the parties' legal ability to marry each other, (2) mutual consent of the parties, and (3) a marriage contract as required by law.
See also Common-law marriage.
In the English common law tradition from which our legal doctrines and concepts have developed, a marriage was a contract based upon a voluntary private agreement by a man and a woman to become husband and wife. Marriage was viewed as the basis of the family unit and vital to the preservation of morals and civilization. Traditionally, the husband had a duty to provide a safe house, pay for necessities such as food and clothing, and live in the house. The wife's obligations were maintaining a home, living in the home, having sexual relations with her husband, and rearing the couple's children. Today, the underlying concept that marriage is a legal contract still remains, but due to changes in society the legal obligations are not the same.

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: Feb. 24
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. A corporate tax cut proposal is getting a look. President Barack Obama proposed overhauling the corporate tax code, mainly as an effort to get large businesses to keep their manufacturing -- and jobs -- on U.S. soil. In general, the plan seeks to reduce the corporate tax rate to 28% from 35%, eliminate accounting loopholes, improve transparency and simplify the code for small businesses, according to Inc.com.
Small businesses could see an eased tax burden and several incentives, including: doubling expensing to $1 million on company-related investments; doubling maximum gross receipts amount for cash accounting vs. accrual accounting; doubling the deduction for start-up expenses to $10,000; and expanding the health insurance tax credit for small businesses.
But the question remains as to whether a tax package such as this can get passed, especially in an election year. For small start-ups, the proposals don't really hit what matters to them: access to capital.
2. Businesses are coping with higher gas prices. Small businesses are being squeezed from every angle in this tough economy, and the recent surge in gas prices could put some businesses over the edge.
The Huffington Post spoke to a few companies coping with the surge in gas prices. With most businesses trying to avoid raising prices to the consumer, it's inspiring creativity in how to make up for the difference and more attentiveness to daily expenses.
3. The Air Force is taking on more small-business contracting. The U.S. Air Force is looking to boost how many contracts and sub-contracts go to small businesses, according to Federal News Radio . It's developing a series of metrics around small-business prime and sub-contracting and looking at a strategy to increase awards in total dollars and percentage of overall contracts.

A fire that caused about $10,000 in damage to a vacant house in The Ponderosa neighborhood off Bonanza Drive on Monday has been ruled accidental, authorities said.
The fire at 5305 Taber Court was reported at 9:30 p.m., said Thomas McMillan, a Fayetteville Fire Department battalion chief.
Smoke was coming from the house when they arrived, McMillan said.
The fire apparently started in an exterior wall and was quickly extinguished, McMillan said.
No injuries were reported.
The house is owned by Marydell V. Westman, according to Cumberland County property tax records.

ANIMA is no ordinary event. Its main objective is to gather creative individuals devoted to the art and craft of animation into a meeting point where all discussion and exchange can be directed into the scope of animation, in its many dimensions of analysis: as artistic expression, as cultural industry, as educational resource, as corpus for research, etc… Or just as fun!
The Festival is open to animation films of every genre, topic, format and screening media (film, video, television, Internet). Special interest is granted to those works where the filmmaker's expressive intention stands out from marketing requirements; and also to school productions. Participation is open for artists all over the world, with special interest in those from Latin America.

Cafe Luxembourg
Online Reservations
This is a fine neighborhood restaurant with a number of creative dishes. I am a "regular" and always receive excellent service. I notice that all guests are warmly welcomed. I like the mixture of neighborhood and Lincoln Center clientele.
A true upper west side gem. Cafe Luxembourg absolutely solves the problem of where to go in the neighborhood for reliably great food and service that has you feeling like you are among friends that truly care about your experience. Authentic French bistro ambience rounds out the mood in an upbeat and comfortable setting. Everyone I bring here wants to come back. Have been a regular for 10+ years and hoping for at least 10 more...
We eat here a lot, especially before going to Lincoln Center. Overall the menu has gotten more interesting (though they still provide French Bistro classics) which has made a great spot even greater. We had a trainee waitress, but there was a seasoned waitress coaching her so we felt well cared for other than the fact that the side dish of Wasabi flavored brussels sprouts we ordered while excellent overpowered the fish special and an experienced wait-person might have pointed this out.
How wonderful that a restaurant can be around as long as this one and maintain such a high level of cooking on a consistent basis. If you like French cooking, go.
We weren't sure what to expect for a pre-performance meal. This was awesome with a polished, very friendly greeting and service to match only to be followed by a culinary experience only expected for much higher prices. The chocolate mousse dome prepared there (as are all of the desserts), was covered in a ganache of the most fabulous chocolate and was enough to make the entire meal memorable. The preceding courses were equally satifying. We are looking forward to our return.
I like the goat cheese options and brunch features, we go back each time we can, and it was available even the day of the marathon!
We made a reservation alerting the restaurant that someone in our party would be in a wheelchair. As we were analyzing how to negotiate the step and doors to get in, someone immediately came to assist us and the same happened as we were preparing to leave. The restaurant was crowded, and yet, it appears that the staff pays absolute attention to all their patrons. We enjoyed a delightful, unrushed, delicious brunch.
Cafe Lux was packed on a recent Sunday at lunchtime and the energy was contagious. We had our 2 younger children with us and they had a nice time too. My husband and I go to the restaurant frequently, but had never taken our kids. So happy to know that they can go with us during the day. There is not a kids menu, but there's enough yummy food that they'll be able to eat. My only suggestion would be to make service quicker at the end of the meal because it's better for everyone to get people with kids out of the restaurant once they're done eating!
For Europeans like us, who used to live in N.Y.C. some time ago and have paid many visits to Cafe Luxembourg back then (but have since received regular feedback from friends visiting and following our recommendation), this restaurant always was and still is a true gem for great entertainment. This week, our return visit more than two decades later once again proved to be pure enjoyment: service was excellent as ever, meals (we had Pate, Roasted Duck, Tuna Burger) simply delicious and atmosphere just what we came to expect from a classy and lively N.Y.C. restaurant in the neighbourhood of Lincoln Center. We are confident it won't be another 20 years before we will re-visit!
Excellent food. It's basic but it's perfect, and just the thing before the Opera or NY Philharmonic. It wasn't crowded at 5:45 PM when we arrived and a friend and I were seated in a quiet corner. Good thing, because the buzz gets pretty loud as it fills. Still the ood, service and value predispose me to make this my standard pre-Lincoln Center dinner spot.
Dependable, delicious food. Always comfortable, energetic but never loud, Feels like family.
Went for my birthday celebration. Busy place but were accomadating for changing numbers in my party. Pleasant waiters. Food and wine were delicious
The place is tucked away and yet in plain sight that some New Yorkers who live in the neighborhood may not know of its existence. Service is always immpecable and the food is world class. It volume of the chatter can go up during brunch but that is the purpose and it can be easily tuned out.
We always eat at Cafe Lux every trip to NYC. The food is always consistent, the atmosphere relaxed but professional. We'll always come back!
As always a very nice place to eat. Food is very good as is the service.
Upscale bistro, simple food prepared extraordinarily. Fresh ingredients, flavorful dishes. Ample food selection to mix, match and have in any order. Seasonal menu, true daily specials. Be sure to try the tartare, steak frittes, any fish. Varied wine list, not cheap. Too few half-bottles and CA wines. Attentive service, no hovering. Very friendly staff across the board. Not the cheapest meal, but prices are fair. Hopping ambiance, buzz makes you feel you are where you want to be. We live in neighborhood, most others seem to also. Only big complaint is you need to make reservations days in advance for seating between 7 and 9 pm. Worse on weekends. Our "go-to" place where we live. Would love going there any day on the spur of the moment.
very small portions..not worth the money food was OK
Still enjoyable French bistrot. Very good service, not too noisy and good choice in menu.
Maitre'd (female) very helpful in finding us best table - quieter, easier to access. Waitress attentive.
Cafe Luxemborg has wonderful food that is always consistent. The service is outstanding and the staff is so professional and terrific. I wish I lived in the neighborhood to eat at this restaurant more often.
Loved Cafe Luxembourg...went as two couples. Fabulous, attentive service...the place was packed on a Saturday night but we were not rushed at all and took our time (more than 2 hours). Loved the beet salad! Everyone enjoyed their meals.
Cafe Luxumbourg continues to provide good food in a beautful setting that feels both elegant and hip Early in the week, the din is less-- so late lunch on a Monday was perfect
This restaurant is fine if its half-empty and unpleasant if it is full. Tables are too close together and the noise level makes it hard to hold a conversation - though the one at the next table is far too clear. Service is OK when its not busy - and distracted or absent when it is full. So if I recommended it to a friend it would only be with advice NEVER to go when it is full and busy -lunch weekends and often some weekdays. And never to go in the evening. Last time I went in the evening - couldn't move, someone's elbow was digging in my ribs, couldn't hear - and service was poor.
There should be a Cafe Luxembourg on every corner! Always reliable and delicious food and service, charming waitstaff, lively but not too noisy to be heard - a favorite forever!
A group of us get together here 8 to 10 times a year. Food is always good and ambiance is comfortable.
If you're looking for a great restaurant that absolutely never lets you down in any way, Cafe Luxembourg is one of the best bets in New York, with huge sophistication, service and management that runs like a well-oiled machine, food that has never fallen in quality in 35 years, and an ambiance like no other. It is simply a superb restaurant.
For 12 years, we lived around the corner from Cafe Luxembourg after it first opened. It was a special occasion place for us; birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations. We ate there again last night after a 25 year absence from NYC and although the waiters and waitresses look very young- everything else seemed the same. The steak frites and cassoulet brought back memories, which were topped off by a divine tarte tatin. Bistro food at its' best!
One of the many secrets of Cafe Luxembourg's success is consistency. Consistency of welcome, service, food and ambience. Also, good value for the dollar.
This place is my go-to when I need a moderately priced excellent meal! The service is outstanding, attentive but not overbearing. With a plethora of choices available outside my front door, Luxembourg continues to earn a spot in my top ten! Do yourself a favor, and book now.
We've seen the crowds at Cafe Luxembourg, but we hadn't been and didn't understand what it was about. The menu looks good, but doesn't seem to deliver anything special. I'm very glad we went so we could be proved wrong. Everything we had was delicious, and the service couldn't have been better, even on a very crowded Friday night. New neighborhood favorite!
Friendly fast service. Food is tasty and the ambience is unique. Great restaurant.
Glad we booked this restaurant in advance of our visit to New York as it was packed when we arrived! Friendly and helpful staff and fantastic menu giving a brassiere feeling to this excellent restaurant near Lincoln Centre. Would highly recommend this to all visitors to the big apple looking for a great night out!
I had a brunch reservation on Sunday, November 24th. Not only were we promptly seated, but my friends arrived 20 minutes early and they sat them right away. The food and service were excellent. I will definitely return soon as it's been years since I've dined at Luxembourg.
We all had omletes that were well prepared - the bloody mary and cranberry scones were special standouts
Despite the waitstaff having to work Thanksgiving night...they were pleasant and professional. The food was fantastic with a choice of either a traditional Thanksgiving meal or the regular menu. I'll be returning as I am new to the neighborhood. They easily dealt with an increase (by one) in our dinner party. All together a wonderful experience
Excellent, friendly service. Food was authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced. Clearly a neighbourhood gem and full of regulars, yet we felt welcomed and not at all out if place considering we were visitors. Our server was delightful!
As always, our latest visit to Cafe Luxembourg was a totally rewarding experience: excellent steak frites, perfectly crafted martinis, impeccable service. One of Manhattan's most consistently superb dining experiences.
We've been going to Brunch at Cafe Luxembourg for years. Still at the top of the heap. Highly recommended.
I love Cafe Luxembourg, and always make it a point to visit during the holidays, usually when friends or family come to visit. The service is great, the food is good, and the atmosphere is lively. Just be sure to make a brunch reservation more than a few days in advance, so you can secure a good time.
Best piece of fish I have ever tasted and I'm from Seattle. All the food was perfect. I have eaten there since the beginning, since living next-door. Not the celebrity-sighting place it used to be. Tables closer together and a little claustrophobic. High noise but it was always so. But we were a group of 5 and the service was excellent. I have no idea how they manage to navigate the floor. Tip them well. LOL.
Excellent food and service from professional, superb staff who always try to accommodate even if you show up early for your reservation as I did. No attitude, great service, simple, tasty, not too wildly expensive food ... just a truly great upper west side place to eat.
Crowded, closely packed tables, energetic international guests, professional staff, timely service, wide range of entrees from omelet and burger to cassoulet. Butternut squash soup of the day thick & tasty, pear almond tart nicely warmed. Perfect for lunch or dinner for 2 up to 6. Can eat at the bar. Make a reservation!
A long-time favorite that hasn't diminished in quality over the time. One of the upper west side's most reliable eateries.
Good atmosphere and service. Pleasant and simple. Not sophisticated but warm and simply pleasant. A french feeling ...
We were there for brunch and the food was great. The service was not so good. Great place in the upper west for a nice brunch with friends.
Always reliable for excellent food and gracious service, a couple steps more elegant than a neighborhood restaurant. Some new dishes on the menu were really excellent,as well as the old stand-bys.
Ten Million Stars for the Restaurant have dined here a lot!! Always a good meal. Lucky you eating here.. That is what I always say to myself
Everything was wonderful about the dinner, but waitstaff particularly attentive!
Went with our cousins from San Francisco, very well travelled gourmands. We all had a great time. Finding a brunch spot during Passover when we weren't going to miss all the bread, pancakes, muffins, etc.was going to be challenge. Some of us are also following Weight Watchers. There was no deprivation at our table as we enjoyed salads, omelettes, tuna and chicken paillaird, indulged in the potatoes, and enjoyed our wine and coffees.
Excellent service, and the food never disappoints. This is also a very good location if you're trying to make a curtain at Lincoln Center.

Dr. Coventry receives recredentialing
Dr. Steven Coventry, one of the St. Margaret's diagnostic radiologists from Hospital Radiology Service, recently passed his recredentialing board exam required by the American Board of Radiology. The ABR began limiting board certification to 10 years in 2002 for all those completing residencies in that and subsequent years. Coventry completed his residency in 2003 at OSF-St. Francis in Peoria and has been on staff at St. Margaret's since he began practicing in the Illinois Valley at that time.
Coventry holds a master's degree in medical radiation physics from the University of Health Sciences and is a graduate of the Chicago Medical School in North Chicago. Prior to beginning his core radiology training at St. Francis, he completed a transitional year internship at Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago. He is certified by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography as a registered physician in vascular imaging and as a registered vascular technologist.

Tagger nabbed, tells police 'It's what I do'
CICERO – A 23-year-old Cicero man was charged with felony criminal defacement of property after two men from Chicago's southwest side saw him shaking a spray paint can and alerted police April 13, according to reports.
Corey A. Davis, of the 3100 block of South 49th Avenue, reportedly admitted to tagging several businesses in the Garfield Ridge neighborhood of Chicago.
About 6:25 p.m., two men were standing outside a tavern in the 6800 block of West Archer Avenue, when they said they saw Davis walk past them while shaking a can of spray paint.

Ken Kendrick: D-backs will continue to invest money in payroll
The Arizona Diamondbacks had a busy offseason, in which they made a couple blockbuster deals that reshaped their roster.
The D-backs traded two of their cornerstone players in Chris Young and Justin Upton while also saying farewell to one of their top prospects, Trevor Bauer.
But don't be fooled. This is a ballclub that remains committed to adding talent, not subtracting it.
D-backs Managing General Partner Ken Kendrick said the team realizes it has to continue to invest money in the payroll to stay competitive with their division rivals.
"It's always about how you play but it is about the opponent and so we've once again determined that we need to invest more," Kendrick told reporters after a team meeting at Salt River Fields Friday. "We're going to continue to do that and hopefully we've invested in the right players."
The D-backs' key offseason acquisitions include shortshop Cliff Pennington, veteran reliever Heath Bell, shortstop Didi Gregorious, outfielder Cody Ross, third baseman Martin Prado and a flurry of prospects from the Atlanta Braves in the Upton deal.
The club also made a conscious effort to bring in veterans like Eric Chavez and Eric Hinske, who have been a part of winning franchises over the years.
Kendrick said the D-backs expect their revamped and experienced roster to perform at a high level.
"We focused on putting a team together that we thought was principally built to win and we have a lot of guys that have had a tradition of winning and not only here but in other places and so we have high expectations for them," he explained.
The D-backs will need to make good on their expectations if they hope to contend in one of the most competitive divisions in baseball, as the NL West houses the Dodgers, with their $200-plus million payroll, and the defending World Series Champion Giants.
And if the roster isn't good enough right now, team officials have the funds to make more moves to improve it.
"We don't see our finances as an issue," Kendrick said. "We don't have unlimited resources but we have a lot more resources to apply to the major league payroll and frankly across the board with other areas in the player side than we've have in the entire history of my stewardship."

Jaradat confessed, Israeli security sources said.
He suffered from back pains and a previous rubber bullet injury in his leg, as well as an injury from a tear gas canister that had hit his stomach, the security sources said.
While in custody, Jaradat was checked more than once by a doctor, and no medical problems were found. But after lunch Saturday, while resting, he was not feeling well, and emergency crews were called to the site. They could not save his life, security sources said.
Israel began an investigation and notified his family.
Rabo said Palestinians blame Israel for the death of "the martyr" and hold Israel responsible for the lives of all the prisoners on hunger strike.
Jaradat, the father of three, worked at a gas station, Rabo said.
"This incident should open the door to all sorts of investigation and accountabilities," said Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization's executive committee. She called for Israeli prisons to be opened to the international community.
Human Rights Watch, meanwhile, called on Israel on Saturday to "immediately charge or release Palestinians detained without charge or trial for prolonged periods."
Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention are one of many flashpoints in the Middle East conflict. Prisoners have launched hunger strikes in the past in hopes of bringing attention to their cause and pushing Israel to ease conditions or allow some prisoners to leave.
Israeli officials have pointed out that prisoners include members of extremist groups who have "blood on their hands."
In October 2011, Israel freed more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners -- including hundreds serving life sentences for attacks on Israelis -- in exchange for one person: Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who had been held by Hamas for more than five years.

What girl's heart doesn't beat a little faster at the sight of piles of ruffles and spools of silky ribbons? And lace? Oh my… I've always thought it would be amazing to learn to make handmade lace, just to know. People often call skills like this a "lost art", but thanks to the resurgence of crafting and the support of crafters, wonderful old-fashion traditions are made new again. As most of you know I am a big Etsy enthusiast and I always love to see how people find new ways to appreciate the old. I tend to (sadly) dress a little more conservatively than I would like, but any of these would be a lovely way to add a little artistic elegance. What "lost art" skill would you like to add to your talents?

Community Help
signing in to a another person's account
After being away for some time, I renew my membership here. But somehow several times when I went to this site, I was brought to another person's account. I can see her CM home account, how many messages/viewed she received, and the pictures of those who viewed her. I didn't pry to her private account, of course, I immediately signed out, and signed in again, only to be brought to the same account! It happened 3-4 times in a row just now, and finally I was able to get to my own account by clicking Profile.
I don't know who this woman is, and I'm using a personal computer (not shared), so I don't know why this happened. I keep being referred to this woman's account, never anyone else's (not that I want to!)
Other than annoyed, I'm also having doubts in the safety of my own CM account. Can she or anybody also see my account?
Had anyone experienced this before?
I hope someone on CM can help me with this.
I'm sorry you have had this problem and it does make you wonder why it happened and just how secure all our profiles are? I'm afraid I have no answers for you as I'm generally technically challenged but I hope you can get this sorted out very soon. It's good of you to respect the privacy of the lady whose profile kept opening.
From the look of it, you are using a proxy ( en.wikipedia.org ) - this may be with or without your intention, but it is there. Proxies will have their own rules for caching and can ignore CatholicMatch's "no cache" directive. If it does, then it may serve the last cached page from another user. This is what I expect is happening.
I see a half dozen other people who are accessing CatholicMatch through this proxy, and by doing so you are all at their mercy. I highly recommend (if at all possible) not using a proxy, and in fact, I usually block them from being able to access CatholicMatch as proxies are usually used by identity, scammers, and the like.
The good news is that apart from last name and email address, CatholicMatch does not make available other information (such as your password, credit card number, etc) in any way, shape, or form, and someone gaining access to a cached page does not permit them to change anything.

Northridges Flagler wins state title in 50 free; team 11th
Flager won his second state title in as many years on Saturday, Feb. 23, bringing home the gold in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 20.37, beating runner-up Bryce Timonera of Batesville by nearly a half-second at the IHSAA State Swimming and Diving Finals in Indianapolis.
�Last year Austin was second in the 50 and was just out-touched at the line,�� Raiders� coach Joe Keller said. �So this year, we put a big emphasis on his start and tried to create a different kind of race for him, so he wouldn�t get behind. So today when he made the turn even with the other swimmers, I knew it was over because no one is going to beat him in the final 25 yards.��
Flager�s time was the second fastest recorded in a state championship race in the 50.
In addition to his title, Flager finished as the state runner-up in the 100 backstroke � an event he won in 2012. Flager posted a time of 49.17, while Chesterton�s Aaron Whitaker won the event with a state record time of 47.29
�When you consider that his time in the backstroke was the fourth-fastest in meet history and he still finished two seconds behind, it�s pretty amazing what Whitaker did,�� Keller said. �We thought Austin might swim a little faster, but there is no way to complain about a state runner-up finish. We were thrilled with his performance.��
Flager�s title comes just two weeks after his senior classmate Brittany Walters won the school�s first girls state swim title when she was victorious in the 500 yard free. Northridge is the only school in 2013 that won a boys� and girls� state title.
The Penn Kingsmen finished fourth in the team event, which was won by Chesterton. Penn finished with 169 points, just four behind third-place Carmel.
Penn�s Tanner Anderson had a big day, as the senior finished third in the butterfly and fourth in the breast stroke, while also being a part of the Kingsmen�s 200 medley relay team that finished second to Chesterton and the 200 free relay team that came home third.
Northridge�s Jon Stoller placed sixth in the 200 IM, while the Raiders� 200 medley relay team was fifth. Northridge finished 11th in the team standings.
In the diving competition, Marian�s Anthony Rice finished seventh with a total of 428.85, while Central�s Nick Ponce was 11th with 390.25 points. LaPorte�s Josh Arndt won the event for the second straight year.

SOURCE Mississippi State University
MISSISSIPPI STATE, Miss., Oct. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning on Thursday (Oct. 17) approved a series of interrelated agreements that finalize plans for The Mill development, according to Mississippi State University President Mark E. Keenum.
"We have refused to settle for anything that did not meet our highest expectations--logistically, aesthetically or financially," said Keenum. "And we are confident that we have it right and we're grateful that the state College Board shares our vision."
The project will bring a conference center, hotel and parking garage complex centered around MSU's historic E.E. Cooley Building. The Mill development includes three main projects: transforming the landmark former cotton mill into a conference center with adjacent office space, building an adjacent hotel and developing mixed-use business parcels in the land adjacent to the university's old physical plant.
Plans call for MSU to sell some property to the developer to become the site of a Marriott Courtyard Hotel and one or more restaurants, lease the Cooley Building to the developer to be renovated as a conference center, and for MSU to lease back some office space in the building for university use.
MSU's Facilities Management staff is already moving out of the Cooley Building, which has been their base of operations for many years. The division will be housed in various temporary locations until a replacement facility can be built on Buckner Lane, near existing services such as landscaping and transportation - actions which the College Board also approved.
Keenum said: "Mississippi State has needed a conference center capable of accommodating large academic and professional meetings for many years. The university also needs a more dynamic gateway directly across the street from this main entrance to campus, where we adjoin the city of Starkville.
"The project as a whole will be a boon to our ability to attract important academic conferences and visitors, provide much needed office space, and make us more appealing to prospective students and faculty members," said Keenum. "It will also create closer town-gown relations and give an economic boost to the area. And it will preserve and protect one of the oldest and most historic buildings on our campus.
"Efforts to bring this development to fruition on this site have been under way for about 10 years," said Keenum. "It has been a long and rocky road, as you well know. But our staff, working with the city, state and federal offices, the current private partner and others, have been persistent."
MSU purchased the John M. Stone Cotton Mill in 1965 and renamed it after the school's former superintendent of utilities, E.E. Cooley. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
In August, the state College Board approved a land-use agreement between MSU and the city of Starkville for the project's parking garage.
The prior agreement leased a 1.67-acre parcel on which a 450-space parking garage will be constructed to lease to the city for 10 years. The city will use an $8 million Community Development Block Grant from the Mississippi Development Authority to construct the facility. At the end of the lease, the garage will become MSU's property.
The August agreement provided that MSU and the city will equally share any profits generated from the garage and obligated the university to provide public parking space, including slots for the planned Cooley Center's conference and office space and the incoming Marriot hotel.
In April, the Starkville Board of Aldermen approved a 15-year, $3.25 million-maximum tax increment financing agreement associated with the project. The TIF utilizes 75 percent of ad valorem and sales tax returns for debt payments. Monies from the agreement will help pay for various infrastructure projects associated with The Mill at MSU.

Cloquet-Esko-Carlton seniors lead by example
Time is running short for the Cloquet-Esko-Carlton girls hockey team and its six seniors. The team (14-8-2) closed out its regular season with a 4-1 loss at Hibbing-Chisholm on Monday night, so the time is now to bring down the curtain on some fine high school careers in the playoffs.By: Jeff Papas, Pine Journal
Time is running short for the Cloquet-Esko-Carlton girls hockey team and its six seniors.
The team (14-8-2) closed out its regular season with a 4-1 loss at Hibbing-Chisholm on Monday night, so the time is now to bring down the curtain on some fine high school careers in the playoffs.
"I told them before the season started that we go as far as they take us," Lumberjacks Coach Lance Horvat said. "They are the leaders of the team, some played up five years ago as eighth-graders when they went to State. They have experience, know the game, and it is their team. They have done a great job running the team in the locker room and on the ice."
The six seniors are:
Alyssa Acheson (goaltender, 6-5-2, 1.95 goals-against average, .935 saves percentage): "She's a gamer," Horvat said. "She enjoys the game, but she always has a smile on her face in practice and keeps everybody loose. She gets more quiet as the game approaches as she sits in the corner locker. She doesn't say a lot during the game but leads by example and is ready to play no matter the opponent."
Katie Beckman (goaltender, 8-3-0, 1.44 goals-against average, .941 saves percentage): "She is more – more quiet than Alyssa but she is very hard-working. She leads by example and does a real good job for the team. You don't hear much from her on the ice but you see her in games and she's great."
The 'Jacks are fortunate in that they have two excellent goaltenders who are both seniors.
"We have two goaltenders, either of whom could start for 90 percent of the teams in the state," Horvat said. "Having to split time can't be easy, but they support each other, they cheer each other on and they talk to each other in games and practices."
Kristi Konietzko (defenseman, 1 goal/7 assists/8 points): "Kristi has a bubbly personality, and is often smiling and laughing about something that isn't about hockey until the game starts," Horvat said. "She's a free spirit – until the puck drops. She's always ready to play and the team has confidence that she will do the job."
Emily Gustafson (forward, 17/14/31): "She's a sparkplug," Horvat said of the team's leading goal scorer. "I don't know if she is the shortest kid on the team but she is all business. She is one of our captains and is all business. She's not afraid to let the other girls know about that passion and she calls people out if she needs to in the locker room. She is always one of the first ones on the ice and one of the last ones off."
Mackenzie Roy (forward, 4/5/9): "She's a grinder, a hard worker, and gives everything she has every time she steps onto the ice," Horvat said. "If there was checking in girls hockey, I think she'd be good at it. She's not scared of the corners, she wins the puck and she comes out smiling. Nobody questions her effort."
Carley Esse (defenseman, 14/19/33): "They call Jonathan Toews of the Blackhawks 'Captain Serious' and that's what we call Carley," Horvat said. "She's signed with a Division I team (Bemidji State) so she's obviously working hard. Everyone on our team knows that they need to focus and step up their game to match hers. Carley is a chip off the old block [as the daughter of CEC boys Coach Dave Esse]. I'm lucky if I get a word out of her at practice."
The best part about the six seniors, though, is that they made Horvat's first season as coach easier in terms of a transition to the program.
"They have a great understanding of the game," he said. "They know how to play the game and know what they're doing. They have no problems talking and suggesting and asking questions. They just say 'tell us what to do and we'll do it.'"
