Went to the Castleman for the first time with friends for Sunday lunch. It won't be the last time we visit, most enjoyable. Staff attentive, ambience superb, lovely relaxed atmosphere, time to talk over coffee in the lounge after eating. Good choice of starters, mains and puddings, although I had traditional "Sunday dinner", which was excellent value. Only tip, arrive... More

Shaw's Crab House - Chicago
Online Reservations
As usual, Shaw's delivered once again. We drove in from Iowa and find it difficult to stay away from this gem. The mini scallops left me wanting for more.
I'm a huge seafood lover. I live in Arizona and I've been to Chicago twice and I've been to Shaws twice. the seafood and service are just wonderful thanks!
Shaws never disappoints, thanks for another great meal!
This restaurant has become a favorite for my wife and me, we always have to go to Shaw's at least once a year for a special occasion. This particular dining experience was no different as our server was outstanding and really took the time to ensure we had a great evening. Also, cocktails in the bar area are great as it is a very welcoming and social atmosphere with classic decor. The food was also spectacular and reasonably priced. If you are not a seafood fan, worry not as there are some prime steaks available as well which are great. Again, this was a great overall dining experience and my wife and I can not wait until we return for another enjoyable evening!
Love Shaw's but had never been for their Sunday brunch - it's amazing! So much lovely food, and no long lines or waiting. Excellent.
Dinner or Brunch.. always a superb dining experience
The free birthday brunch offered by the restaurant sealed the deal for me. When I looked at the menu, I knew I'd be eating mostly crab and shrimp and I did. Did sample a few other things, which I enjoyed, especially from the dessert table. If you're a seafood addict, this is brunch worth the price.
Always consistently good food. Staff usually attentive and professional. A tendency to be distractingly busy at peak times.
Would have been nice to know ahead of time that the Alaskan King Crab legs, while fresh, were a $66.00 entre. Otherwise, Shaws never disappoints.
Food so good I went back the next day! Seafood salad to die for
Good food & service, but were finally seated 30+ minutes after our reservation time. Seemed a little excessive for a table for two.
Great Seafood! The bar was great fun and the large selection of oyster was a great starter. Dinner in the back dining area was really nice a little quieter! Good Variety of choices! Being from New England with great seafood, I wanted to try something different and wasn't disappointed with the Walleye! The staff was very attentive!
Great ambiance. If you like seafood, you'll love this place. There are a couple bars if you want to get there early.
Great service! Got our reservation on Open Table and were seated right on time at a great corner booth. Our waiter was polite, knowledgable and attentive, not to mention the many others that filled our water and brought our orders. The drinks and food were outstanding! So much to choose from. My husband is still raving about the oysters and his surf and turf. My lobster cocktail was full of meat and so delicious. I hope to return on our next Chicago visit!
great seafood plus everything else. wonderful servers. no charge for kids makes the high tariff more palatable for adults on a special occasion splurge. saw lots of folks in bears jerseys on their way to soldier field. definitely a good spot for that sort of day.
If you're up for spending $55 on one of the few all-u-can-eat buffets left, this is a decent one. The bacon, oysters on the half shell and lobster bisque are favorites. They hand out little pieces of warm king crab legs or they have the cold ones sitting out. They will cut beef tenderloin for you and there is an omelet bar made to order. Some of the other items are sausages, crab cakes, scrambled eggs, au gratin potatoes, eggs benedict, donuts, sushi, caprese salad, smoked salmon, caeser salad, spinach salad, broccoli with cheddar sauce. The dessert bar is quite good with a big variety too so go pig out.
Amazing every time! Can't beat this Sunday brunch.
We went to Shaw's for Sunday brunch. The food was delicious and everything we would expect at a brunch was included. The stations were well organized and supplied. The service was perfect.
The food! The service! EXCELLENT!!!!! So excellent we were totally unaware of the tornado taking place outside. I have been coming here for years and the service just keeps getting better and better.
Unlike Joe's Stone Crab just down the street, where the bar scene is usually chaotic, Shaw's lobby area is a bit more of a controlled chaos. I got a drink at the bar pretty quickly, then our party of 2 got seated just as quickly. Our lobster bisque appetizers were spot on, minus a bit too much pepper. I ordered the horseradish crusted white fish, really good! My friend ordered walleye, which is not a fish I would normally eat. The preparation was wonderful, with it coming out medium and so juicy and soft - reminded me of a more expensive fish such as cod but the taste and texture were equally enjoyable. Our sides of squash and Brussels sprouts were the perfect accompaniment. Dessert, we ordered a pecan pie piece to share, no regrets!
We had a group of 6 after a long day at the Fabtech Show. The service was great and the food was excellent. I had a reservation for 7:30 pm, which I booked through Open Table, and we were seated immediately. Our service was outstanding and our overall experience was fabulous. This is one of my favorite places to eat when I am in town.
I have been going to Shws's for over 20 years. They are as reliable and consistent as ever. A great restaurant in all aspects, but I particularly loved the small portion, frugally priced, yummy desserts at lunch, after enjoying the smooth tasting clam chowder soup and a perfectly prepared fish entree. So, add them to your regular business lunch restaurants if you haven't already.
The lobster bisque was delectable-rich, smooth, exceptionally flavorful. The king crab legs were full, sweet, rich, and more than enough food along with shared side dishes of creamed spinach and scalloped potatoes, recommended by the very helpful waitress. NO room for dessert but vowing to go back soon. Service was efficient and friendly. We were seated late, but within about 20 minutes of our reservation time-it was quite crowded for a Tuesday night. OVerall experience was great.
The service and food were wonderful, but the tables were so close together that it was not only uncomfortable to sit at them, but we could hear everyone else's conversation.
We have eaten at Shaw's for years and always find the quality of the food and its preparation to be impressive. High points are the raw oyster selection and the signature seafood salad.
Dinner at Shaw's Crab House was a highlight of our recent trip to Chicago. Chosen partly proximity to our hotel and good reviews online, Shaw's did not disappoint. We started our meal with some excellent sushi nigiri, then moved on to New England Clam Chowder for me and a house salad for my wife. My wife's main course was a very good grouper with pumpkin seed crust and squash, and I splurged on the excellent Alaskan red king crab legs. We complimented our meal with a great Chehalem Inox Chardonnay from the Willamette Valley based on a recommendation from our sever. Finally, we ended our meal with a dessert sampler that was the perfect size to share. All in all it was an excellent seafood dinner and the prefect finale to our trip.
We dropped in after a brutally cold pre Christmas event and at 445 were Seated right away at a booth in the bar area. There Is always the oyster bar option at shaws too and it Is good with great seafood chowders and a very Respectable jambalaya. Four of us started out With drinks. A friend and I had delightful manhattans. That reminded me of how dangerous those can be! A dozen Oysters in a sampler were delightful. We had walleye, haddock And perch fillets, creamed spinach and mashed Potatoes. Sounds heavy but it was so cold out It seemed justified. Homers peppermint ice cream And coffee for dessert. Could not hear a single Thing the waiter said. Speed of light presentation. On The other hand he got it all absolutely right. A
Absolutely terrific food - bay scallops. Everything was great.
Worth driving from Evanston for the seafood. The menu is for seafood lovers and the food is delicious!
we were celebrating my mom's birthday. the food was delicious! amy was our server for the evening & she was very accommodating! we really enjoyed her & her service.
GM Nate Redner is the best around. Takes excellent care of his guests and makes you feel like you are the only people in the restaurants. That's hospitality at it's best!
After reading many reviews we decided to spend our Saturday night celebrating Chicago and a birthday at Shaws. AMAZING is one word to describe our experience. Frankie our server was one of the best I have ever had! He was so patient with our teenage girls and their numerous questions about the sushi, to my cousin who tried cocktail after cocktail till she found one she liked (don't worry I drank her leftovers! :) ) The food was outstanding but really it was Frankie and his team who made our visit. The chocolate cake he delivered for our birthday was awesome and much appreciated. There were seven of us and not a bite of food left on the table. Thanks Shaw's for a truly memorable night!
It's been a long time since I've been to a wonderful Brunch buffet. This one is awesome! Friendly staff and the variety of food was was beyond fantastic. Pricey, but worth it. Definitely a do again!
My friend and I came here for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was outstanding! Delicious seafood and traditional hot dishes. Even the desserts were impressive.
Shaw's thanksgiving buffet was fabulous. Everything and I mean everything was excellent. Although I did not care for the wine selection. Maybe it was the house on that day? Need to change white selection. Otherwise again excellent.
This was the first year that Shaw's had a buffet for Thanksgiving dinner and we really enjoyed it! The food was good, you could choose what you wanted instead of getting a fixed plate with items you may not want. And in addition to the traditional holiday fare, they also had their outstanding seafood, crab claws, shrimp and sushi. We saw many people going back multiple times! The service was outstanding, plenty of wait staff, who were constantly watching out for empty plates to pick up and water glasses to refill. We arrived 20 minutes early and were seated right away- as opposed to last year at Lawry's, where we waited well past our reservation time and then, once seated, were not acknowledged by the waiter for over 15 minutes.
Food was excellent but a little pricey across the board. $30 for dozen oysters and $11 bourbons. Again food was excellent as well as service.
Place was very busy, but received good, timely sevice at bar & table - food was very good
The king crab was delecious. Nice atmosfere and outstanding service
Shaw's simply has the best brunch. The food quality and selection were outstanding.
My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful meal at Shaw's celebrating our wedding anniversary. We were in Chicago for Thanksgiving weekend and ate at several restaurants,Shaw's was our favorite! Very fresh seafood and the Oysters Rockefeller was to die for! Overall, just a great dining experience that I would highly recommend.
Food very good. However plan on waiting up to 45 minutes after your reservations to get your table
Consistently outstanding food, service and overall experience.
Judy Jonas has waited on us many times and is always pleasant, funny, and pays great attention to detail. The oysters were particularly good this visit. Cheers!
Arrived at 6:30 even though our reservations were at 7:00. They got us in within 5 minutes. The food was amazing, the service was flawless. The prices are somewhat high, but well worth it. The filet and lobster was cooked to perfection, and my wife's garlic shrimp was wonderful.
Went here with a large group. We were given a semi private room which was perfect. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and nice. The food was perfect.
Enjoyed a wonderful first dinner here for our wedding anniversary. I had asked for a table away from the center, and they accommodated with a nice location along the wall. The ambience is warm and welcoming but also classy. Food was first-rate - oysters in the half shell, clam chowder, walleye, yellow fin tuna (medium-rare and delectably tender although next time I'd order medium, as it was pretty rare). They serve our favorite coffee, Intelligentsia. And to top it off, noting that it was our anniversary, they brought a generous portion of divine chocolate cake with a candle. Lovely gesture! The service was truly outstanding, not rushed or obtrusive but very attentive. Will go back!
Always a great spot to go to when visiting Chicago. The food and atmosphere are great. The only draw back is that I have never been seated on time with a reservation. I usually have to wait an average of 30 minutes for a table. Wit Th that said I always return when visiting Chicago.
My parents were in town visiting so of course they wanted to eat at Shaw's. Our waiter was wonderful--very knowledgable and attentive. The food was delicious, as always. The only complaint I have was the host/hostesses. We were about 5-10 minutes late to our reservation due to traffic, so we called saying we were 5 minutes away. When we arrived, we gave our name and said we had a 7:30 reservation. He said there would be a bit of a wait (10-15 minutes).By 8, we still weren't seated. By 8:15 I asked and he said "oh yes, they're busing it now...should be just a couple of minutes". I felt that with a reservation, we should not have waited nearly 40 minutes for our table.
Each time we have dined at Shaw's they have exceeded our expectations from the time before, both in food and service.

103-year-old woman credits 'hard work and good food' for long life
When Bernice McFarlane was born none of the following had been invented: zippers, traffic lights, penicillin, ballpoint pens, nylon stockings or milk cartons.By: Jana Peterson, Pine Journal
When Bernice McFarlane was born none of the following had been invented: zippers, traffic lights, penicillin, ballpoint pens, nylon stockings or milk cartons.
Most women washed their hair only once a month and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo. The average worker made between $200 and $400 per year, but sugar only cost four cents a pound and eggs were just 14 cents a dozen.
William Howard Taft was the 27th president of the United States.
The Metropolitan Life Tower in New York City was completed in 1909. At 50 stories (700 feet), it became the tallest building in the world.
The Wright brothers had made their first successful powered flight just six years before.
The estimated world population was 1.7 billion people.
My, how things have changed.
The tallest building in the world now is the Burj Dubai. It has 160 floors and stands 2,684 feet high.
The largest commercial airplane today can carry approximately 525 passengers at one time.
There are now more than 7 billion people in the world.
And – as of Oct. 11– Bernice McFarland is 103 years old. She has a wry sense of humor, excellent hearing and a pretty good memory, although she refers to her daughter now and again for details and to get the dates right. She has 11 grandchildren and lots of great- and great-great-grandchildren … neither she nor her daughter are exactly certain how many.
That daughter, Leota McFarlene, shares what her mother said at the first birthday party after she'd moved from her home in Cloquet to Sunnyside Health Care Center, after falling ill when she was 100 years old.
"It was the first one birthday she'd had here," Leota said. "Mother said, 'The first 100 years were good. The second 100 aren't starting out very well."
She was born Bernice McKibbon – fraternal twin to Bert McKibbon – in Battlecreek, Neb., on Oct. 11, 1909. The 1910 census put the population of Battlecreek at 819. (It's now just over 1,200.)
Bernice and Bert were the first children born to James and Gertrude McKibbon, who raised five boys and two girls on their northern Nebraska farm.
Bernice said she was expected to help milk the cows, feed the chickens and find the eggs, plus whatever other chores needed doing.
She and her siblings would walk about two miles to a small country school that she attended until part way through the ninth grade.
"I got a couple months into ninth grade and I had to go help shock and pick corn," she said. "I never went back."
Bernice met her husband, Chester McFarlane, at a dance.
"We used to have barn dances," she said. "Everyone would go."
She doesn't remember exactly how they met, just that they started "going together" after that.
They were married at the courthouse just across the state border in Yankton, S.D., in 1934, during the Great Depression.
"Gracie and Clarence [Chester's brother and sister] stood up with us," said Bernice, who was close to 25 years old at the time. "I was an old maid."
She chuckled.
Chester gave her a white gold wedding band, quite a coup in the Depression years. Still, that didn't mean there was money to spare for a honeymoon.
"We did farming, so we got married and went home and started working," Bernice said.
Chester farmed with his brother first, later taking over the farm near Bloomfield, Neb., himself. Bernice worked around the neighborhood, "house cleaning and taking care of kids."
"I'd make about $3 a week," she said.
She wore dresses that she sewed herself most days – but not always.
"I had a blue dress with a white lace front," said Bernice. "Dad gave me $10 and I went and got a pair of shoes and that dress. I was in my 20s. It was my Sunday best."
She would wear that blue dress to the Methodist Church on Sundays.
When asked if they stayed after church to socialize, she nodded and said they socialized "some."
"I think they did most of their socializing on Saturday nights when they went to town to buy groceries," Leota said. "The men would go to the bar and have a beer and the women would stand on the corner and talk."
Their oldest child, Dwayne, was born that same year. A couple years later, a daughter, Alice, was born. Leota was born in 1940.
All three kids were born at home with no problems, with the doctor coming to their home for the births.
Dwayne was born in Bloomfield; both girls were born in Correl, Minn. The McKibbons lived in Minnesota for a few years and then moved back to Bloomfield when Leota was around 5. When she was about 10, in 1950, they moved to a farm near Clark, S.D., where Chester farmed and worked for the Soil and Conservation Service.
Bernice said they farmed with horses and tractors.
"Even when I was little, they had both," Leota said. "They needed horses because the roads were so bad and so muddy, everything else got stuck."
Bernice recalls some cars, as well. There were a few different kinds of Fords, and a Terraplane automobile (built by the Hudson Motor Company between 1932 and 1938). She never drove any of them. In fact, she never learned to drive.
She did try … once.
"Alice was going to teach me," she explained. "She had the car by the clothesline. I got in, she told me to go, and I hit the clothes line. That was it. I said 'no' after that."
The family never got rich, but they always had enough to eat on the farm. They listened to radio programs for entertainment – Leota recalls the Lone Ranger and the Green Hornet – and did lots of chores.
Leota said her mother never stopped working, it seemed. Once her own kids were old enough, she would babysit other people's children, then come home and get things in order there.
"There's just endless work on a farm," Leota said. "I remember Mother mending and cleaning at night, and babysitting little animals, anything the moms wouldn't accept. A lot of farmers would just toss off [those little ones], but mother would have it in front of the cook stove to stay warm and she'd bottle feed it."
Chester had a soft heart, it seems, so soft that he would even lift up the plow to try to avoid a rabbit's home if he found one in the field.
"He was a good man," Bernice said. "He wasn't mean or anything. And the kids could almost run over him."
She said he laughed a lot and worked hard.
When asked if he was a good dancer, she chuckled.
"Better than I was," she said.
They moved to Esko in 1963.
"One of our neighbors was an implement dealer and my Dad would go with him sometimes to buy farm machinery," Leota said. "When [the neighbor] bought an implement shop in Esko, he wanted Dad to come. It's hard to make a living on a small farm, so we went.
"Then when the implement shop closed, Dad went to work at Hongisto [Implement] until he retired. He did repair work on old farm machinery there."
Even after retirement, when they lived in town, Bernice and Chester still gardened. Bernice canned, Leota said, and made all kinds of apple butter from the apples that grew on their property.
"Mom was working right up until she came here, because she got sick," Leota said.
Chester died in 2000, when he was 97.
When asked for the secret to a long healthy life, Bernice's answer was to the point: "Hard work and good food, I guess."
Leota reckons they both lived a long time because they ate healthy farm food, basically "organic" food before anyone called it that. Her mom's incredible cooking was probably another factor, she said.
"I remember her lemon meringue pie," she said, holding her finger and thumb about four inches apart to illustrate how high the meringue would be. "And her cinnamon rolls, caramel rolls – you can't find stuff like that in a store."
On her 100th birthday, when she was still living in her home on 21st Street in Cloquet, Bernice's family gave her a big party. On her most recent birthday, Bernice was celebrated with two parties.
So what stands out about the past century, what invention, what event? Is it the hybrid automobile, the airbus airplane, cellular phones?
Bernice looked back on more than a century of living with a practical eye.
"When washing machines finally got a motor in it," she said. "I remember the first washer – you'd push something back and forth on it. There was a wringer, yes. Then we got a gas-powered washer next."

I have to rate this hotel highly because that rating is deserved. That being said, I will not be staying at a Super 8 in the future only because the topping on the mattress was a disaster for my back. It is very soft and makes it difficult for me to move in bed or to get out of bed in the morning. I have a bad back and these difficulties put my back […] out. Nothing against the hotel or the bedding, this is just my problem. I need firmer support for my back so I will be looking for a different chain hotel.

"There's nothing super about this place."
While the motel is close to the highway, it is in bad need of renovation. The rooms were dingy and smelled. There was mold in the bathroom and the toilet ran.

To be fair, the staff made sure that the room had clean towels and such. It had a small refrigerator and the beds were sufficient. Some of the maintenance was a little disappointing. I had to clear the drain in the bathtub so that the water would drain. Not a terrible stay, but for just a few dollars more, I could have stayed at a hotel nearby where […] I know the room conditions are much better, as well as the breakfast. I NEEDED a bed to sleep in for a few nights and they provided it. Fair enough. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"Only if your desparate"
The promised internet access is just a myth. If you need internet access, go elsewhere. The noise coming from nearby I 81 was loud. I had to run the A/C one night when an open window would have worked better. The recliner had a deep center depression from years of use. I sat in it for about 30 seconds before I gave up.Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"Carlisle Family Confirmation Trip"
It was not a good experience because we felt the place seemed not well taken care of and needs updating.....old TV, toilet seat was broke, carpet looked very worn in the rooms and in the hallway. Continental breakfast was just OK, not great!Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme
"never again"
I'm definitely never staying here again. The room smelled weird. The TV color was stuck on red. Also half the plugs didn't work in the room. h and they only had one shampoo for two people.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
Real clean and quiet. Was out for a car show so i figured it would be loud but after 10pm it was nice and quiet. Beds were nice. Can not complain about the size of the room for the price.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Adequate accommodations for an affordable price."
This motel provided the basics, including a free continental breakfast, at an affordable price. The blanket on the bed was very scratchy and uncomfortable. Otherwise, everything was adequate.Patiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

The bathroom was disgusting, there were live cockroaches in it. The floor was also covered in hair, and the room didn't appear to be vacuumed. The continental breakfast area was filthy as well. I will never return to this hotel, and do not recommend it to anybody.Patiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Stayed during Gettysburg weekend."
Carlisle is actually a fun drive from Gettysburg (the hills make it like a roller coaster), so the location wasn't bad all things considered. The hotel itself is old and falling apart. The continental breakfast is HORRIBLE. I'm usually one that expects a pretty lousy breakfast down there, but this one was HORRIBLE. The "multilingual" staff means they […] have someone up there who can hardly speak English. It is cheap, and you should expect cheap. The WI-FI is also up and down a LOT. Overall, not a place you should stay. IzvērstPatiesa Hotels.com viesa atsauksme
"Bed Bugs & Dirty"
I NEVER give bad reviews but I've never had such a bad hotel stay EVER. I had 2 smoking rooms booked for an event we attended. They were so booked already by the time I arrived to check in (2:20 PM, check in time is 2:00 PM) they could only give us one smoking room & one non smoking room but advised it was "OK" to still smoke in the NON SMOKING room, […] which i felt non smokers shouldnt have to suffer the next day. When we walked into both rooms, they had such a stale cigarette smell that it turned my stomach. Nothing would take the smell out of the rooms & both rooms were very outdated & the carpets were so dirty that I didnt even take my shoes off. The bathroom was the only nice part of the stay. The windows (on the first floor mind you) would not lock, they had a wooden stick to hold the window shut. The bedsheets were NOT changed prior to us checking in so we used our own blankets. Also when i first got there, i checked under the mattresses for bed bugs (which i normally wouldnt in other hotels but i had a feeling) found nothing, however the next morning, we woke up and all had bite marks on our bodies from both rooms, I then took all the sheets off again and found quite a few of them in BOTH rooms. Then when trying to report it, no one was at the front desk ofcourse so i left my room keys on the desk and left. IzvērstPatiesa Expedia viesa atsauksme

I purchashed this item a week ago for my 2 yr old daughter even though I did read some not so good reviews. Lesson learned... I will be returning it. The clips to hold the paper are not strong enough. They are not actually clips, they are plastic pieces that you push the paper behind. I ended up securing the paper with tape. The more I thought about it I decided I should not have to do that and will look for a better designed easel. As for the trays that hold markers and stuff, they seemed secure. No problems with those. We never used the chaulk board so I can't comment on that. However, I purchased the Crayola easel pad of paper and the paper does not fit nicely over the chaulk board. Its bigger than the area and since the edges around the chaulk board are raised the entire sheet of paper is not able to lie flat. I hope that makes sense. Also not a big deal but just something else that I did not like. One more thing to consider... this is a large item so make sure you have the space for a kid to be able to walk around it and use both sides! I hope this info helps someone elses decision when shopping for an easel!

So many uses for hours of play and learning. 70 some pieces of letters, numbers, etc. So many of this type of easels are way too tall for a three year old. This one is sturdy plastic, colorful and just the right height. With a chalk board, a dry erase board and clips for holding paper, the child is learning their letters, numbers and being creative all while playing. This product should be able to be used throughout grade school. It doesn't take up much space and it is safe for our three year old.

I don't have any experience with the product, but it looks sturdy, I know my grandaughter will love it. She loves to color, paint, etc and this is the perfect gift. After traveling to two stores I was able to pick it up but I am looking to exchange it for the pink one if I can find it before Christmas.

Two Years And Counting...
Written by:
I remember the
Fifth Report and Order
back in the mid-1990s. Those were good times, laughing with my fellow journalists over the FCC's aggressive (read: completely unrealistic) transition timeline.
But this time, it looks like the federal government really means it. Today, more than 90 percent of DTV stations are on the air. DTV set sales are surging. A handful of you have already made the local news HD upgrade, with more to follow. And it probably doesn't hurt that legislators want to get their collective hands on the $10 billion or more in fees that'll fill the federal coffers once they auction that tantalizing NTSC spectrum to the highest bidder.
The slightly less aggressive (read: oh look, we can actually manufacture DTV transmitters now) deadline is February 17, 2009. That's right, in just two short years, analog television broadcasting in the United States will end.
What won't be ending anytime soon is confusion in the consumer marketplace. Much of the general public has no idea that in two years their analog tuners will no longer provide access to television stations. For most homes, this really won't be a major problem. After all, the majority of U.S. households have cable or satellite service, so it'll be business as usual.
Estimates vary, but it's probably a safe bet that at least 15 million households in this country rely on over-the-air as their only means of receiving television signals. Granted, there are also have a handful of homes that have secondary sets without a cable or satellite connection, but the real issue here is making sure that OTA families realize what's coming.
The federal government is already making plans to help OTA households with the transition through set-top box subsidies, probably through a voucher program. Whether you agree with the legislation or not (I'm not a fan), it's going to happen.
Personally, I wonder if those vouchers will come with instructions. Or a technician. I can already hear the sound bites from disgruntled viewers complaining about how their favorite shows were "stolen" and they can't hook up the "complicated" boxes. I truly expect someone to blame the whole DTV transition on global warming at some point.
According to a February 2005 estimate by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, it could cost anywhere from $460 million to about $2 billion to subsidize the cost of STBs for these households. Those numbers are already two years old and were far from exact, so who knows how much will really be spent--and whether the distribution model will be based on economic need.
Last month, the NAB announced its plans to create a national campaign to increase consumer awareness of the DTV transition. The task force will work under Jonathan Collegio, NAB vice president, digital television transition. So you're going to get some help from the national level, but meanwhile, what is your station doing locally to get the word out?
Has your staff been trained to answer technical questions accurately? A "cheat sheet" for your employees could go a long way toward avoiding confusion and providing a consistent message for the viewers who call. And if you don't have a PSA strategy in place, now is really the time to plan.
Why not take it a step further--rather than rely on the government's plan to subsidize low-income homes with vouchers for set-top boxes at a reduced price, are you planning to provide some sort of STB relief? Wouldn't a commercially sponsored STB distribution program in your market be a great way to separate you from the competition? Talk about serving the public interest. The clock is ticking...

El Salvador Depends on International Humanitarian AidFebruary 21, 2001
Days after a second devastating earthquake hit El Salvador, a third small earthquake shook the country on February 20. While the damage is not near that wreaked by the previous two tremors, it is unnerving to a country where many people are still living beside their destroyed houses, small villages remain completely isolated, and hospitals lack medicines and equipment. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) currently has 85 aid workers, both national and international, running medical activities in the country's most affected areas. These include primary healthcare programs, vaccinations, mental health programs, surgery, and epidemiological and nutritional surveillance. While the international aid presence has diminished since the first earthquake in January, MSF has continued to bring in aid workers from neighboring countries and has begun to distribute medicine and supplies to local health centers, collect epidemiological data, install provisional water systems, and provide basic shelter. The second earthquake on February 13, affected 1.3 million people and health units have reported that approximately 45 percent of consultations are related to mental health problems. MSF has worked with national and regional radio stations to broadcast messages that address the main psychological problems people suffer after a traumatic event, such as anger, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and depression. The broadcasts are intended to give practical advice to help people overcome their symptoms. "The idea is to reach as many people as possible, to explain that these are normal reactions under such circumstances and to offer some advice that helps them manage the situation," explained Diana Vidalies, a psychologist responsible for MSF's mental health program in El Salvador.

Ojo Del Toro!

Valente Lucero captains the panga La Venadita, "the little deer," off the shores of Punta Arena, an hour by car south of La Paz, Baja California Sur. Valente is known amongst family and friends as Venado, a nickname earned at a younger age when the seductions of local tequila often inspired him to hop about the pueblo of Agua Amarga like a deer and, on more than one occasion, climb into the arms of a cardón cactus and leap, like a frightened doe, to the desert floor below.
The Logic of Bonefish Leaders

For the third day in a row I had set my alarm for 5 a.m, and after a quick cup of café con leche I drove across the then-small city of Miami (this was in the early '60s), over three bridges and onto Key Biscayne. Then, after a left turn onto a narrow, partially hidden, sandy road, I parked under a large seagrape tree, a tree I had parked under many times before. From there, just a quarter-mile walk along the beach brought me to the northeast shore of the key, where I looked out on a large, open flat facing the ocean.
South Fork

The last time Greg and I fished together was in 2008 on the Fremont River (see "On the Lower Fremont: Part II"), and I had been trying to get him to come back ever since. Despite a handful of conversations to that effect, 2009 came and went. Then 2010 rolled around and the ritual of half-promises and unfinished phone calls started all over again. Understandably, Greg was noncommittal: He was up to his elbows in teaching obligations, and as a recent divorcee, he was busy reorienting himself to the new world and juggling love interests. But when the infernal hand of July came knocking, he did what a lot of Arizonans do: He looked for a way out.

I WAS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE beauty of the low Mexican morning sunlight to shoot photos of my friend Dave casting toward the white-sand shoreline…when Dave paused his cast. Our guide quietly, very serious now, said "Si." About 50 yards down the beach appeared a dark shape hovering over the sand—a piece of driftwood? No, it was a snook. A huge snook. Dave, a lefty, was having a hard time loading the rod with the cross-wind. As the guide poled our skiff closer to the dark form, Dave told me to step up on the casting deck. I put down my…

Wind turbine mtg Saturday
Descendants and organizers gathered last Friday to dedicate an historical marker to Chief Nas-wau-kee, a Potawatomi chief who lived on the east shore of Lake Maxinkuckee until 1837. On hand was the chief's great, great, great grand-niece Michale Edwards, who traveled from Oklahoma for the event and who discussed with the audience her discovery of her relation to the chief, who she described as "gentle, mild-mannered, and trusting."
The Friends of the Culver-Union Township Public Library held the long-awaited drawing for the handmade, fully-furnished dollhouse (valued at over $500) they built and raffled off over the summer, at the library Labor Day weekend. The winning ticket belonged to Cindy Clousing of Wheaton, Ill., and Culver. The very excited family picked up the dollhouse and "are anxious to set up housekeeping in its new surroundings in Culver," according to Ginger Budzius of the Friends.
For all the impressive numbers Bremen's offense has generated this season, it was the Lions' defense that made the difference Friday. The Bremen defensive unit held on two key goal line stands in the first and second quarters, and a scoreless first half came back to haunt the Cavaliers as Lions quarterback Nate Leeper connected with receiver Ben Hueni for a 37-yard go-ahead touchdown strike with just over a minute on the game clock to give the Green Machine a 20-13 homecoming spoiler on the road at Culver.
The 2011-2012 Huffington Concert Series at Culver Academies kicks off Thursday, September 29 with Michael Jackson impersonator Joby Rogers' "The Ultimate Michael Experience," a journey through the music and dancing of "the king of pop" as impersonated by Rogers, who was chosen by Jackson himself as the top finalist in a contest against 116 other impersonators.
Upcoming this weekend and coming days in Culver...
Homecoming game, parade Friday Culver Community High School's annual homecoming parade will start at 6 p.m. at the high school and march through town. The game (against Bremen) will begin at 7 p.m., and will include the traditional crowning of the homecoming king and queen.
Maxinkuckee Indian chief monument will be dedicated Friday The public is invited this Friday, Sept. 16 at 5 p.m. to the town park for the dedication of a historical marker for Chief Nas-wau-kee of Lake Maxinkuckee's east shore.
Debate arose last week over whether to convert part of the 1880s-era railroad waiting station turned picnic pavilion at the town park into public restrooms, at the monthly meeting of the Culver Parks and Recreation board. Discussion ensued last Wednesday evening after park director Kelly Young outlined hoped-for projects in the coming months and year for the park following finalization of its budget in October or November.
ROYAL CENTER, Ind. - A Culver teen is among three dead following a pre-dawn crash Saturday in Royal Center. Bruce Leearmel Wireman, 19, of Culver, died along wth Erron Stoddard and Brandon Lee Miller, both of Winamac and also 19, in an auto wreck the Cass County Sheriff's Department has said may have been the result of alcohol, speed, and heavy fog at the time of the accident. All three teens died of blunt force trauma and massive internal injuries, and were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the vehicle, Joshua P. Barcus of Winamac,
Pastor AnnMarie Kneebone says her strengths include her enthusiasm and helping people see their potential, both traits ideal for an interim pastor like herself. Kneebone began her time as interim -- replacing Pastor Robin Keating, who left earlier this year -- at both Grace United Church of Christ in Culver and First United Church of Christ in Plymouth, in June, though she actually moved to Culver in July.
It's been hard for Culverites to miss signs of some of the major construction projects underway at Culver Academies lately, many of which represent significant changes and enhancements not only to the campus, but in a broader sense, to the entire community.

Good things really do come in small packages. And when it comes to your health, pistachios pack a powerful punch: They help you manage your weight, may help reduce blood pressure and a study published in the "International Journal of Impotence Research" shows they may even help with erectile function. Here are three big reasons why you should unshell and celebrate your health with a handful.
The power of pistachios
Pistachios are a great snack chock-full of vitamins and nutrients including antioxidants, beta carotene, fiber, glutamine, potassium, phytosterols, zeaxanthin and B6. "You really can't go wrong with pistachios," says director of sports nutrition at the University of Southern California, Becci Twombley. "With six grams of protein in every 160-calorie serving, pistachios are a protein front-runner compared to 160 calories of other common snacks." In addition, pistachios have more nuts per serving (49) than any other tree nut.
Performance food for athletes
Whether you're an elite athlete in training or a casual fitness buff, what you eat will affect your performance.
"As an athlete, your body needs the right carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and fluids," says Twombley. Pistachios are a great pre- and post-workout snack because they contain a good source of lean protein, the right type of fat and electrolytes such as potassium.
Green goodness
Their taste is unbeatable. They can be enjoyed right out of the bag, or to jazz them up, you can season them right in the shell, like these Saffron and Vanilla Pistachios by Chef Grant MacPherson.
Saffron and Vanilla Pistachios
1 pound American pistachios, in-shell
1.5 ounces Spanish saffron, steeped in cold water
2 vanilla beans, scraped
2 tablespoons canola oil
Sea salt to taste�
Warm canola oil in roasting pan or wok on your stove top, add pistachios and lightly toast. Add saffron, with some liquid to coat the pistachios. Add the vanilla bean scrapings and stir to incorporate; season with sea salt to taste. Remove from heat and serve warm in the dish of your choice.
"Pistachios also appeal to those with a sweet tooth," says Judy Hirigoyen, director of Global Marketing at American Pistachio Growers. "Whether it's ice cream, cake or tarts, pistachio-inspired desserts will win over anyone you prepare them for."
In addition to flavoring for premium snacking, American Pistachio Growers have a wealth of recipes developed by renowned chefs. Visit www.americanpistachios.org to see recipes like Pistachio Dusted Roast Salmon with a Light Honey Glaze by Chef Jesse Brune.

In what can only be called a determination of default by investors, the sell off of Greece's short term debt tells a tale of woe. The 1 year bond yield moved from yesterday's close of 652% to 752% overnight while the 2 year moved a whopping 20 bps from 192% to 212%. If this isn't the true vote on the alleged ECB/IMF "bailout" I do not know what is. This is a nation falling into disarray, default, and ultimately anarchy if they do not act to withdraw from the European Union and re-establish their own currency. The Icelandic solution may not be pretty, but there will be no private buyers for Greek debt after the CAC laws and mandatory defaults are enacted.

Some of Cisco's best-known solution provider partners see Rob Lloyd, Cisco's president, development and sales, as the most likely and best-qualified candidate to take over for Cisco CEO John Chambers as the networking titan mounts what will be a closely-watched succession.
Most partners declined to go on record out of concern for relationships with Cisco's other major CEO candidates. But in private conversations with CRN during UBM Channel's Best of Breed conference in Tampa, Fla. this week, several top executives from Cisco Gold partners were unanimous that Lloyd, Cisco's hard-charging head of global sales, would be the right choice to succeed Chambers.
A solution provider who attended this month's Cisco Partner Executive Exchange (CPEE) in Scottsdale, Ariz. said Cisco executives didn't talk much about succession in public, but that in "cocktail conversation," Cisco insiders told him Lloyd appears to have the inside track.
"Seems like he's going to be the guy, and that's a good thing," said the solution provider, who added that partners were buzzing about Chambers' recently stepped-up talk about succession throughout CPEE. "He's not as powerful on the engineering side of the house, but if you have the sales guys pulling for you -- and he's had global sales at Cisco for years now -- that's pretty good pull. Don't forget that Chambers had Lloyd's job before he took over as CEO. Don't think that won't count."
[Related: Has Chambers Tipped Hand On CEO Succession?]
Other partners pointed at Lloyd's channel bona fides -- he ran a Canadian VAR long before his Cisco career kicked off -- and partner relationships as making him particularly appealing as a future Cisco boss from a channel perspective.
"He had his own channel business, sold it, and then became an executive at a national channel company. That's a rise many of us can relate to, because a lot of us have had opportunities over the years to go work for the manufacturers," said a second solution provider and BoB attendee. "He knows certain elements of our business -- really granular stuff about relationships and how it's all supposed to work -- probably better than anyone else in contention. He's good at articulating that stuff, too."
Chambers told CRN in a recent interview that he would likely step down within two to four years, with the expectation that he would remain board chairman.
Chambers didn't identity any one internal candidate as an obvious successor, but said he would be bringing top managers like Lloyd out of silos and provide them more and varied responsibility.
"That's the way executives used to be brought up," Chambers told CRN. "We'll see where they have strengths and maybe a little bit where they struggle."
Two such moves happened earlier this month. Lloyd was promoted from executive vice president to president, sales and development, with Cisco's engineering organization now under him. Gary Moore, Cisco's chief operating officer and the architect of its massive global restructuring, also had president added to his title. And in another succession, Chuck Robbins, most recently senior vice president of The Americas, has followed Lloyd as Cisco's senior vice president of global sales.
Another top solution provider CEO and major Cisco partner agreed that Lloyd would be the most likely choice, but that if succession were put to a popular vote among Cisco partners, Robbins might come out on top.
"Chuck is loved in the channel," said the solution provider. "You talk about fast-rising careers there, for one, but a lot of partners remember what he did when he ran U.S. and Canada channel sales and how much of an advocate he was."
Robbins' comparative lack of global experience would probably hold him back, the solution provider said.
"He's taken on the worldwide sales force now but that's his first major global management spot at Cisco," the partner said. "That's a different animal, managing the geographies. If the [Chambers succession] happens sooner rather than later, he'd probably have his international experience questioned. He might get his shot further down the line."
Cisco intends succession to be a "non-event," Chambers said, adding that the CEO role itself isn't as important as deciding who will be the three to five major executives running Cisco in its next phase.
"What can our partners count on? Cisco leadership." Chambers said. "Consistency, industry leadership, innovation, and if we do our job, you haven't' seen anything yet."'
Michael Gleason, managing director of Global Enterprise Technologies, a Cherry Valley, Ill.-based Cisco Gold partner, said partners would appreciate a smooth transition and Cisco hasn't given any indication it wouldn't be.
"It looks like it's going to be a two or three person race," Gleason told CRN earlier this month. "Chambers has done an excellent job over the last 5 to 10 years in branching out and allowing people below him to grow in different areas. I don't see any hiccups once he steps back at all -- seems like it will go off without a hitch."

EU Regulatory Update: Cosmetic Ingredients Under EU Scrutiny
By: Annelie Struessmann, PhD, CONUSBAT
Posted: August 23, 2011
In the European Union, assuring the safety of cosmetic ingredients is based on a dual approach established in the regulatory frameworks, and in relation to the old Cosmetics Directive 76/768/EEC, no fundamental changes to these principles were introduced with the new Cosmetics Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009). Accordingly, most ingredients can be freely used. The cosmetic product's manufacturer is responsible for the product's safety and must address the ingredients individually within the product's safety assessments. However, certain ingredients are restricted for use by either being inhibited or being imposed with certain conditions. The specifics are regulated in the various annexes of the cosmetic frameworks and the evaluation of the ingredients prior to the entry is performed by the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS), a scientific committee of the EU Commission. The safety assessment performed in this context and the criteria for the inclusion in one of the frameworks' annexes are based on the principles and practice of the risk assessment process described in the "Notes of Guidance for Testing of Cosmetic Ingredients and Their Safety Evaluation by the SCCS." The guidance document is also directed to public authorities and the cosmetic industry with the goal to harmonize the compliance with the cosmetic legal frameworks' requirements among all parties involved. A new version of the document, i.e., the 7th edition, was released in April 2011.
When a mandate is issued for an ingredient assessment, a comprehensive process is initiated which is described on the website of the EU Commission's Directorate General for Health and Consumers (DG SANCO). The SCCS' engagement leads to the adoption of an opinion and depending on its conclusion, a new entry in the cosmetic frameworks' annexes may result and be published as technical adaptation in the Official Journal of the European Union. Several opinions were recently published by the SCCS, either in a version open for comments or as final adopted opinions. Additionally, numerous mandates for new scientific opinions have been posted, with a specification of the assessment criteria and goals. The application areas mostly in focus with the new and ongoing ingredient assessments of hair dyes, preservatives and UV filters.
Hair Dyes
Eight opinions on hair dye components have been issued in 2011 including: HC blue No. 14, toluene-2,5-diamine and its sulfate, hydroxyethyl-2-nitro-P-toluidine, 4-amino-2-nitrodiphenylamine-2'-carboxylic acid, basic red 51, basic red 76, acid orange 7 and HC yellow No. 13. Two of the eight opinions, HC blue No. 14 and hydroxyethyl-2-nitro-P-toluidine, are still open for comment until Sept. 2, 2011. Total hair dye opinions have numbered more than 120 since "Assessment Strategies on Hair Dyes," a discussion paper on the potential of hair dyes to cause bladder cancer, was published in 2002 by the Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products (SCCNFP), the SCCS's predecessor committee. Additionally, 26 open requests exist for this application area. As a consequence of the assessment processes, numerous adaptations to technical progress of the Cosmetics Directives' annexes and numerous total bans of substances have been released. In view of these results, the new Cosmetics Regulation brought a fundamental change in the regulatory approach for hair dye ingredients phrased in the new definition of colorants in Article 2, which includes hair colorants and also the precursors of oxidative hair dyes. Consequently, as of July 2013, when these ingredients are used in consumer and professional products, they need to be listed in Annex IV, the positive list of colorants allowed in cosmetic products.
The total number of preservatives under scrutiny is naturally smaller than the number of hair colorants. Four opinions have been published thus far in 2011, either in a complemented or a revised version. These include ethyl lauroyl arginate HCl, which was designated safe within the conditions set (no change to earlier opinion); triclosan, which was found not safe for use in all cosmetics at the conditions defined (no change to the opinion from 2009); chloroacetamide, which was found not safe under current conditions and a new review of parabens. Of these opinions, the one for ethyl lauroyl arginate HCl is still open for comments.
The opinion from March 2011 on parabens revises one adopted in December 2010. This was the consequence of new data on dermal absorption, which the SCCS received during the commenting period of four weeks after the December 2010 publication. However, these test results did not change the SCCS' conclusions from December. Accordingly, additional human data are still needed for a secure scientific opinion, and the concentration of butylparaben and propylparaben in cosmetic products, according to the SCCS, should be reduced to 0.19%. This conclusion implies a considerable reduction compared to the concentration of 0.4% (single ester) specified in the annexes of the cosmetics frameworks. With regard to methylparaben and ethylparaben, the authorized concentrations can be considered safe and remain unchanged. Additionally, the SCCS concludes that the human risk cannot be evaluated for isopropylparaben, isobutylparaben and phenylparaben because limited to no information was submitted for their safety evaluation. Consequently, the use of these substances is potentially at risk. Finally, the SCCS draws attention to benzylparaben and pentylparaben because of indications that they might be used in cosmetic products for "other purposes." As none of them is listed in Annex VI of the Cosmetics Directive, the SCCS suspects effects on consumer safety.

I do a massive amount of volunteer management in my line of work, and one of the most useful techniques in GTD for me is the @waitingfor list. I use Outlook and drag and drop my sent e-mails to the task list to create my @waitingfor tasks. Most of the time I will be waiting for responses from multiple people.
Does anyone have a trick or tip to share on creating multiple tasks from one sent e-mail without dragging and dropping multiple times? Sounds like a small thing, but I think it will make a big difference in my system if I can work out this kink.
Thank you!

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 9:20 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30, 2009
By Jamie Dupree
Watching the final goodbye in Washington, D.C. to Sen. Edward Kennedy, it was hard not to draw the parallels to the earlier farewells for his two brothers.
But in 2009, this Kennedy's death wasn't a full scale shot to the mental solar plexus of many Americans, as he had been fighting brain cancer for a year.
Instead of going down to the Capitol to see it in person, I watched the hearse arrive at the Capitol with my family and some old family friends, as we celebrated my father's 76th birthday.
He recounted standing in the terrible cold for hours to have the chance to file by the casket of President Kennedy in the Rotunda, as did two other longtime friends from Capitol Hill.
Only in Washington, D.C. could you have a group of people freeze-framing the TV to see how many staffers/lawmakers/former lawmakers we could pick out of the crowd on the Senate steps.
Among the notables, if you didn't see Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV), he is now sporting a lengthy mane of white hair which one might have expected in the 19th century out of John C. Calhoun or Daniel Webster.
Byrd looked the best that I've seen him look in probably a year. He is the longest serving Senator in Senate history. Teddy was third.
I'm still interested to see what Massachusetts decides to do on a replacement and whether the state legislature will change the law to allow for the Governor to make an appointment, instead of a special election in January.
I'm sure a lot of his staffers are wondering too. It's a time of change on that front as well.
