The students vary in age
ESCANABA -- Bay College in Escanaba started its fall semester Monday. School officials say enrollment is where they expected it to be. There are 2,800 students. The popular programs include business, technology, computer, and nursing. So how's school going for the students?
Hannah Stebelton is starting the LPN program at Bay College. She's one of the lucky students who made the cut.
That's because school officials say the interest in the nursing program is so high. There are around 200 people on the waiting list.
"Nursing is always a really big, huge program," says Bay College President, Laura Coleman. "There's going to be more of a demand in the U.P. to have good nurses."
So how's the second day of class going for Ms. Stebelton?
"I'm excited but a little bit nervous trying to figure out where everything was," says Stebelton. "I was almost late my first day. I work at the hospital right now. So I'm around nurses all the time, and I kind of know what I'm getting myself into."
You may be surprised to learn that nursing and other students vary greatly in age. According to officials, non-traditional students are the growing trend in community colleges across America. Non-traditional students are made up of students in their twenties and older. School officials say 59 percent of their students are non-traditional students. But both non-traditional and traditional students will have their fair share of homework.
"I'm looking forward to being back to school," says first year student, Alex Dehaan. "But I'm really not looking forward to being back in the homework swing of things. I know that it's part of college and you have to do everything outside of class. So I was prepared for it and have time set out to study. For the most part, I'm prepared for it."
The students will continue on their exciting journey. Wednesday, the campus will host a free picnic to give students a chance to socialize and get to know their fellow students.

Destination NASHVILLE: Back Roads to Backstage
Heart and Southern Hospitality
The stage is set, and the curtain is rising on Nashville, a city with a song in its heart, as the premier venue for the 2013 29th Audi Club North America Frank Beddor National.
For more than 200 years, music has shaped the history of Nashville. And even if toe-tapping, banjo playing, country crooning isn't your cup of tea, the charm of this world-wide acclaimed hotspot will win you over. The experience will be like no other, one that touches members with heart and Southern hospitality.
Combining small-town warmth with an unexpected urban sophistication, Nashville is a friendly Southern city with lots to love. Downtown Nashville is a vibrant thriving area that is a blend of old and new. In downtown's decades-old honky tonks, live country music and bluegrass play from dusk 'til dawn. Just down the street from the legendary honky tonks where many of yesterday's country singers and songwriters first plied their trade, you'll also find newer attractions such as the Hard Rock Café.
So much to do, so little time
Art museums and galleries, antebellum mansions, historic sites, classical Greek architecture and a glittering new symphony hall offer cultural pursuits. The Ryman Auditorium, a landmark since its completion in 1892, has served as a tabernacle, assembly hall, and theater as well as one time home of the Grand Ole Opry.
Outstanding restaurants, down-home diners serving home baked biscuits, and chic cocktail lounges have earned national acclaim. Then there's the natural beauty of the place. Nashville's eye-catching skyline is ringed by lovely countryside with wooded hills, picturesque farms, scenic rivers and lakes.
Audi Club's Southeast Chapter President Mike Gillespie and volunteers have planned an amazing, jam-packed four days of fun including:
▪ Stay at beautiful Gaylord Opryland Hotel
▪ Reception at Audi of Nashville
▪ Fun Slalom and new Audi models
▪ Scenic drives
▪ Southern breakfast at Puckett's Boathouse in Franklin with live music
▪ Jack Daniels Distillery Tour and lunch in Lynchburg Room with live music!
▪ Lunch in Carriage House and wine tasting
▪ Downtown Lynchburg and historic Franklin visit
▪ 24th Annual Classic Car Show
▪ Southern breakfast in world famous Loveless Barn with live music
▪ Saturday evening Banquet atdistinctive antebellum Gaylord Spings Golf Club, with live music and dancing!
To keep you hopping there's enough free time to tour downtown Nashville, Broadway honky tonks, General Jackson Showboat cruise, Grand Ole Opry, Wild Horse Saloon, Blue Bird Café, golf, Ryman Theater, Hermitage (General Jackson's home), Country Music Hall of Fame, Lane Motor Museum and more. No time to snooze!
The Music in Music City
Nashville is a city with a foundation built on more than musical roots. Today those roots have grown firmly into a platform for which the city heralds its signature product. Nashville's most famous attractions are directly music-related. Touting the music that has made Music City famous, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is more than just a storage house of country's colorful past. It is dedicated to the preservation of music and music education.
Since 1892, the Ryman Auditorium has been home to musicians, actors and comedians. Wanting guests to experience the Ryman as the stars do, the facility offers backstage tours, plus a unique visitor opportunity for guests to record a song in an onsite recording booth in the auditorium. Seen as an art museum by many, the FristCenter for the Visual Arts, a center specializing in exhibiting premiere collections on loan from other galleries around the world, is a place where the entire community can embrace all forms of art including music — on Thursday and Friday evenings, the Frist offers live music in their Grand Lobby.
Even the hotels are carrying a tune by displaying exhibits on loan from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, playing live music in the public spaces and posting directional signs with famous music lyrics.
Music is the essence of Nashville. It is the ribbon that weaves the city together, intertwining history, arts, culture and sports into one dynamic cultural package. From gospel spirituals and bluegrass to modern pop and blues, Nashville is MusicCity.
Gaylord Opryland Hotel
Members will stay at the award winning 'Best of the South' Gaylord Opryland Hotel on the banks of the Cumberland River. Within this landmark Nashville hotel beats the heart of MusicCity. Gaylord Opryland is a Southern treasure where you will be amazed at the nine acres of indoor gardens, glass atriums, cascading waterfalls and an indoor river with its own Delta flatboat. Opryland boasts six stylish and contemporary new restaurants that serve a range of cuisine, including Revello's southern Italian and Solario's Mexican dishes.
During your stay at Gaylord Opryland, enjoy a luxurious spa and salon, state-of-the-art fitness facility, pristine swimming pools, unique dining and incredible shopping experiences. Cutting edge clothiers, distinctive boutiques, retro gifts and wine accessories are just steps away from your room.
NashvilleInternationalAirport is eight miles from the hotel, and an airport shuttle service is available. Local attractions, such as Gaylord Springs Golf Course, are just ten minutes away. The Gaylord was sold out this past October, so please reserve your rooms now. The hotel is a destination in itself! Audi Club member special rate $150 plus tax/resort fee. Rate also available four days pre and post event. To reserve a room please call 615.883.2211 and identify yourself as part of Audi Club North America – Annual Meeting – Group Code X-AUDI3.

Bits of Nashville History-Part I
Drama, adventure, intrigue
First Inhabitants
The first Nashville settlers arrived in 1779, but the land was first a home, hunting ground, and burial site for prehistoric Indians. Evidence of large Paleo-Indian villages has been found that suggest Paleo tribes lived in Nashville 11,000 years ago. The Mississippi culture of Indians, known as mound builders, inhabited the area from about AD 1000 to AD 1400. Around the middle of the 15th century, the villages mysteriously disappeared, and the area became a hunting ground for Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek and Shawnee tribes.
In the late 1600s French traders from Canada established a trading post. Jacques-Timothe De Montbrun, a tall, dark-skinned man built a hut and bought furs from the Indians. He is often referred to as the "first citizen" of Nashville.
The Jackson era
In 1784 Nashborough became Nashville. The English "borough" was replaced with the French "ville," most likely as a sign of appreciation for France's assistance during the American Revolution against Great Britain.
In 1796 Tennessee became the 16t state in the Union. Andrew Jackson in credited for much of the city's growth and influence during the first half of the 19th century. After arriving as a 21-year-old prosecutor, he achieved financial success partly because he accepted land grants as payment for his services.
Jackson married Rachel Donelson-Robards who had separated from her husband Lewis Robards. Andrew and Rachel repeated their vows after discovering—among something of a social scandal—that Rachel's divorce from her first husband had never been made official. The Jackson marriage remained a topic of gossip for quite some time.
Tennessee got its nickname as the VolunteerState during the War of 1812 when volunteer soldiers from Tennessee displayed uncommon valor fighting under General Andrew Jackson to defeat the British at the Battle of New Orleans.
Jackson, a colorful figure described as both a "roughneck" and a "gentleman," became a national hero for his role in the 1812 war, leading the troops to victory. Jackson had a reputation among his troops as a tough-as-nails military man, and, after one of his soldiers said he was as tough as hickory wood, Jackson's nickname became "Old Hickory." Numerous reminders of the nickname remain throughout Nashville today.
Bid for presidency
In 1824, despite winning the popular vote, Jackson lost his bid for the presidency of the United States to John Quincy Adams. In 1828 he returned victorious becoming the first man from west of the Appalachian Mountains to be elected president. More significant, however, was his role in the founding a new Democratic party characterized by the spirit of reform and interest in the welfare of the common man. The roots of today's Democratic Party date from this time.
Having a hometown hero in the White House did much to boost Nashville's reputation. Jackson made several trips to his plantation, the Hermitage, 12 miles northeast of Nashville, often entertaining renowned guests there. His final years were spent at the Hermitage where he is buried wife his wife Rachel in the Hermitage's garden.

Why Hire Sunshine Coast Solicitors?
1. You're too close to the action
In all areas of law, but particularly family law, high emotion can obscure sensible paths of action. Ask any senior family law practitioner and you will hear stories of people so blinded by hatred for their ex-spouses that they would prefer to spend every last cent ruining their former partner… often at the expense of the future financial security of their children.
2. Do you understand what is and isn't evidence?
In Australia there is much legislation, case law and custom describing what is and is not evidence. If you think you can write down your entire story in an affidavit, swear it in front of a lawyer or Justice of the Peace and hand this up to the court with no dramas, you're mistaken. Judges have been known to fly into rages when presented with incoherent and confusing material lacking in evidential value, and rightly so. Our justice system is expensive to maintain and overloaded so if you waste a judge's time through your own ignorance of Australian rules of evidence, you are doing a disservice to the courts, yourself and Australia as a whole.
3. You may be legally required to have a lawyer
In the case of Binding Financial Agreements (such as prenuptial, cohabitation and separation agreements), the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) provides that signatories to such agreements must seek independent legal advice before the agreement will be considered binding. This means that there is no way to avoid hiring a lawyer.
4. Making a mistake can cost you dearly
Mistakes can actually be more costly than your legal fees. In fact, that's the whole idea… you pay your lawyer a fee to maximise your chances of 'winning' or in other words 'ensuring your legal rights are protected'. If you go it alone and you walk face first into a legal trap, you may have saved a few thousand dollars in legal fees but cost yourself tens of thousands in the long run. This applies to family law just as to any other area of law.
5. A lawyer has legal experience
It is tempting to handle your own legal matter to save costs (which admittedly can be immense in some situations) but ultimately the costs – not just financial costs – of making a mistake can eclipse the legal fees you would have paid to avoid making that same mistake. Remember that the legal industry exists for a reason. We live in a society for a reason too… to make the most of the skills offered by others. None of us needs to be an expert in all things so remember that lawyers are there to help.

One must wonder what the end game is for all of the anti-Obama crowd. This birth certificate issue has been going on for a long time, and it just makes the Obama haters look and sound like a gang of fools.
If they hope that this issue will help defeat Obama in 2012, they are sadly mistaken. The only real issue that will help defeat or re-elect Obama is the Economy, but it is hoped if the Economy is still a big negative in 2012 that a fair share of blame is placed on the shoulders of the previous administration when all of the "fertilizer" hit the fan.

Zebo played a key role in helping Munster to the semi-final of the European Cup and also impressed in the RBS 6 Nations, scoring a try and making another in Ireland's solitary win over Wales.
With Bowe remaining with the touring party, Zebo's selection takes the number of Ireland players in the Lions squad to ten and while he admitted it was a dream come true to get the call-up, he's desperate to play his part Down Under.
"I'm absolutely over the moon. It is the best news I could ever have dreamed of. As a professional rugby player the ultimate goal is to be a British and Irish Lion," he said.
"Hopefully I'll get the chance to do that if I get my cap. That is something I have to work towards now."

Iran Brags It's Cracking U.S. Spy Drone, Sen. Lieberman Calls Claim "Bluster"

RQ-170 Sentinel
Middle Eastern power hopes to use capture U.S. stealth drone to further its own UAV ambitions
It remains one of the highest profile embarrassments of the U.S. Armed Forces and Intelligence community in recent years: the
loss of the RQ-170 spy drone
to the Iranian army.
I. Iran Claims to Have Cracked Drone's Encrypted Data Files
While the U.S. still claims that it was a technical malfunction that downed the drone, many defense experts were swayed by Iran's
detailed explanation
of how it jammed U.S. control signals and duped the drone into think it was performing a landing in a similar altitude home base.
The daring kidnapping sent the U.S. backpedalling after initially claiming the incident
could be a hoax
. The Iranian black op drew criticism from U.S. President Obama, who
demanded the drone back
. Iran agreed to return
a drone
, but then
mockingly offered to give the POTUS a pink toy drone
, versus the captured flyer.
Now Iran is vocalizing once more, claiming it's cracking into the flyer's encrypted software.
States Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Revolutionary Guards' aerospace division on state-run television (as
reported by
The Defense News
), "I am giving you four codes so the Americans understand just how far we have gone in penetrating the drone's secrets. In October 2010, the aircraft was sent to California for some technical issues, where it was repaired and, after flight tests, it was taken to Kandahar (in Afghanistan) in November 2010, when a series of technical problems still prevailed. In December 2010, it was sent to an airport near Los Angeles for repair of its equipment and sensors, and flight tests. The drone was then sent back to Kandahar."
Iran has refused President Obama's demands that it return the drone.

The comments indicate that the Iranians may have gained access to the flyer's encrypted flight logs. While that wouldn't necessarily be as damaging as if they gained access to the core control logic, it raises the question of how many secrets they'll be able to extract from the captured U.S. air-bot.

II. Senior Senator Lieberman Blows Off Claims
Iran's claims have been
countered by Leon Panetta
, although he has not formally denied that Iran cracked the flyer's logs.
U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman
(I-Conn.), head of the
Senate Homeland Security Committee
, was also quick to mock the comments as "Iranian bluster", remarking, "There is some history here of Iranian bluster, particularly now when they're on the defensive because of our economic sanctions against them."

The loss of the drone is a sore subject, particularly amid Iran's claims that it will produce copies of the drone. Gen. Hajizadeh brags, "This aircraft is a national treasure for us, and I cannot divulge [more details] about it. [But we will] started producing a copy of the RQ-170 drone."
Iran has been
working on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
for several years now, according to U.S. intelligence.
The edge the captured design could give it is a big headache to the U.S. as reportedly the stealth technology in the drone -- which was captured on a special
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency
mission -- is similar to that used in American stealth fighters and bombers. Amid Iran's
suspected nuclear ambitions
, there's much concern about how far the nation could get technologically.
The Middle Eastern giant may be relatively hostile to the west, but it's also a fast developing technology power. While it's struggled with economic challenges in recent years, it produces over a million cars a year -- the most of any Middle Eastern nation. Aside from being the region's manufacturing capital, Iran also publishes more peer-reviewed research yearly than any other nation in the Middle East. In short, Iran may be a hostile power and be a bit behind the U.S. on the tech curve, but they're by no means clueless.

It should be interesting to see who's right -- Gen. Hajizadeh or Sen. Lieberman.

If the US resorted to it's old tactics it would be put in check in no time, Russians, Chinese and what not would would gear up their weaponry (with good reason) and form alliances to protect themselves against he US... anyways Iran isn't Iraq, nor Afghanistan!

Choose larger furniture pieces for their design interest, but use fewer of them. One large piece of furniture makes a small space feel grand; lots of small pieces create visual clutter.
Buy quality furniture. It may cost more up front, but good furniture will last longer.
Skip the trends. Look for traditional furnishings that blend with a variety of styles. When you're in the mood for change, switch out inexpensive accessories instead of furniture.
Have a plan and purpose. Don't fill your home with impulse buys. Make sure every piece of furniture fits in an overall plan.

Mild science fiction violence
Director: | Joseph Kosinski |
Actors: | Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, Michael Sheen, James Frain |
Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade - a signal that could only come from his father - he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a cyber universe - a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.

Joseph Kosinski's Tron: Legacy is a film inspired by, and about, the power of the human imagination and human ambition. It transports us to a world we've never seen; showing us heretofore unthinkable cinematic feats and seemingly unachievable advancements in technology. In that respect, it is an absolute success along the lines of James Cameron's similarly wondrous Avatar (that won't be the last comparison between the two films I make during this review). But all technical marvels aside, there is an unfortunate absence of the human soul here; it leaves a void that neither an enthusiastic cast nor an infusion of nostalgia can fill.

Joseph Kosinski's Tron: Legacy is a film inspired by, and about, the power of the human imagination and human ambition. It transports us to a world we've never seen; showing us heretofore unthinkable cinematic feats and seemingly unachievable advancements in technology. In that respect, it is an absolute success along the lines of James Cameron's similarly wondrous Avatar (that won't be the last comparison between the two films I make during this review). But all technical marvels aside, there is an unfortunate absence of the human soul here; it leaves a void that neither an enthusiastic cast nor an infusion of nostalgia can fill.
That being said, there is a very enthusiastic cast here to enjoy, and performances that elevate the film from becoming the paint-by-numbers video game it always threatened to be. Jeff Bridges – reprising his role from the original 1982 sci-fi flick Tron – stars as Sam Flynn, the creator of the shiny, living-computer-of-a-universe they call The Grid. And I must admit the idea of living in a world created by The Dude himself is an enticing one. Bridges' Big Lebowski-shtick is in full force here. Whether he's remaining faithful to the Flynn of 1982, or simply cashing in on the persona of his most loved character, I can't say (yes, I'll admit I've not seen the original Tron). I can say however that his delightfully loose and off-kilter performance brings some much needed fluidity to the proceedings of the occasionally too-rigid Tron: Legacy.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. As mentioned, I've not seen the original Tron, so I'm basing this back story upon that which is provided in Tron: Legacy (and they spend a lot of time providing back story). Back in the early 1980s, two talented computer programmers - Flynn (Bridges) and Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner) – crafted a universe that acted as a sort of visual representation of a circuit board. They called it The Grid. The duo created two computerised clones of themselves - Flynn's was Clu, and Alan's was Tron – and the four of them helped evolve The Grid into a living, breathing city. But then Clu went crazy (and I mean Catherine-Deneuve-in-Repulsion-crazy), exiled Flynn to the outskirts, and established a dystopian society in which the citizens/programs do battle in a Thunderdome arena.
Tron: Legacy – penned by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz - picks up soon after Flynn's disappearance from the real world, where his son Sam is left behind as an orphan with no answers. He grows up (and into Garrett Hedlund), but, oh, he's a right hooligan these days! Sure, he's the leading stockholder of his father's old company ENCOM, but he'd much rather unnecessarily break into their offices than actually contribute to the running of the company. When Alan advises the ruffian to visit his dad's old office, Sam is sucked into The Grid by Clu (a CG version of a young Bridges). There, he discovers the dangers of a world in which computer programs commit mass genocide, and to a less-threatening extent, throw discs at one another and race light-cycles. He teams up with a mysterious female program named Quorra (Olivia Wilde), who reunites Sam with his banished daddy. Also, Michael Sheen plays a David Bowie-esque nightclub owner, where Daft Punk is the rather-excellent house band (Sorry; I couldn't think where else to add those nuggets of information).
So, how about that cast? Garrett Hedlund is fine. He's a 'Worthington'; that is, he's an attractive enough body to walk from location to location, and his voice is pleasant enough to listen to. I think he's trying to play Sam like a young Jeff Bridges would, or at the very least, mimic his accent. And he's fine. But the character is just a cipher for the audience. So was Jake Sully. Luke Skywalker however was always much more than a vehicle for exposition and that is as far as I'll entertain any discussion comparing Avatar or Tron: Legacy with Star Wars. Olivia Wilde and Michael Sheen, like Bridges, inject some absolutely wonderful and much-need quirk into proceedings. I love how Wilde, saddled with the usually thankless love-interest-who-gets-knocked-unconscious-for-part-of-the-film role, spices things up. She doesn't play Quorra like a sex-kitten. She's cheeky, and childlike, and has a mischievous cackle; her eyes are electrified when she discusses Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea; she dreamily tries to imagine a sunset, as if the black-and-blue Tronscape were a bore by comparison. In contrast, you have Clu. Although he's ably voiced by Bridges, he has a touch of the Final Fantasy's about him. When he's not speaking, he's a SFX triumph like no other. When he speaks, it might as well be Jar Jar Binks.
Now, The Grid. That is indeed wondrous to behold. It's the kind of CGI-creation (not unlike Avatar's Pandora) that seems too fantastical and detailed to be false. Sam spends the majority of the film in awe of this universe, wondering how his father created an entire world inside a computer. Yet, that is exactly what Kosinski and his crew have done, bringing to life a city like we've never seen. And no, even if you've seen the original Tron, you've never seen anything like this. How I wished then that the film's earlier sequences, the ones that take place in reality, had looked a little more real. Frankly, the regular world looks and feels faker than The Grid. We really needed a darker, grittier, less-shiny version of America to make Sam's eventual arrival at The Grid feel like an event. Transitioning from 2D to 3D is not enough; the transition should disintegrate our entire concept of reality.
I can only assume Tron: Legacy is a passion project for Kosinski, if only because, well, I don't exactly think people were crying out for a sequel to the largely forgotten 1982 sci-fi flick. It seems likely that he pushed this project up the hill himself, and it's a testament to Disney that they would throw themselves behind Kosinski's vision of a newly reconfigured Tron universe. Perhaps they've decided to take some cues from their siblings over at Pixar, and setting up a "studio for directors" of their own, rather than grabbing any old filmmaker to helm the new Old Dogs, or Wild Hogs, or Mad Cows, or whatever terrible live-action project they've set up next.
I was concerned the film would be all about light-cycle races, disc wars, and computer-generated-Jeff Bridges'. Thankfully, it never succumbs to these potentially gimmicky depths. Alternatively though, there is a touch too much exposition, especially in the final act when you really want things to ramp up for an almighty finale. And as I wrap up, allow me, one more time, to compare this flick to Avatar. Yes, Avatar had a trite plot and weak characters. But Avatar had that soul that I was talking about in the first paragraph; it had a fire in its belly that is seriously missing from Tron: Legacy. Maybe you think it's silly to wish a film about computer programs had more soul. It's not. Shiny computer pixels are one thing - and Tron: Legacy does indeed have the shiniest - but a true cinematic achievement is capturing the human spirit on screen.

There is an urban myth which carries a notion that the millions of different people who use Microsoft Office applications across all the different industries actually know how to use it effectively at work. But it's a myth.
With Microsoft due to end their support of Windows 2003 many organisations are facing a challenge of upgrading their desktops, most probably to the latest Microsoft Office 2013. This might sound like a not too 'big of a deal' thing to do, but it will mostly impact employees who spent the last few years coming to terms with how to get the best out of the last version upgrade. And suddenly they are faced with yet another change.
In this feature our expert on live online learning, Jon Shepstone, takes a light hearted look at the significance of training support for staff during software upgrades and how such changes can further influence their work. Continue reading »

Jack's on Halsted
Online Reservations
As usual everything was great. Jack's runs like a well oiled machine. Great selection of cocktails. Keep up the good work!!!
Love this place. solid food and great service. Never disappointed!
Jacks had great food and exceptional service. We were there for a special event and they seemed just as excited as we were. It was really sweet. Great place.
Superior service and very accommodating, esp. when I told them that the chef's decision to cook the veal chop more medium than rare was maybe too well done. It was still tasty just a little too dry. They were very generous, taking our drinks off the bill to accommodate my comment about the veal. We will visit again.
The food was great and the wait staff was exceptional!! I must if you are in the area!!!
Had a great meal. A little loud was sometimes difficult to talk, but the food was very good. Would definitely return.
The food and service were very good but there were a few excessively loud tables that made it difficult to hear each other talk.
Great food and service. The salmon was done beautifully, the duck special served with a couscous was fantastic and the pork tasting gave a great variety. One in our group asked if he could come back...the next day! They also took care of our special needs. We needed to be close to the door to minimize walking for an elderly person in our group. They seated us the shortest distance from the entry where it was easy for her to negotiate with out slaloming through a bunch of other tables.
Great drinks, good burgers, and quality fish specials. Service is great.
Family dinner on halsted, the ambiance is great and cosy. Waitress friendly. Great experience like everytime. Well done.
The food was very good the service was great. The waiter continued to provide outstanding service, with a great level of service without hovering. He had a great personality too. Food was very good. We started on the ceviche which was fresh and tasty, followed by roasted corn ravioli, the highlight of the food for me. Followed by vegetable soup and seared scallops w vegetable risotto. The only down side was the risotto was a little under done. The outside patio was relaxing. Great experience and we look forward to returning, and hopefully have room for dessert.
Jack's is two blocks from the Blue Man Group theater so if you plan on going to BMG the place is a no brainer. Service from Barre was exceptional. Well versed on the menu and made some exceptional recommendations. The risotto was well seasoned. My wife had the chicken and the portion was large with delicious potatoes. I had the scallops which were cooked well. Jack's is known for their martini's and they have a wonderful selection so do no hesitate. We arrived at 5:45pm and it was quiet. By the time we left at 7:45 the place was packed and boisterous, but we could still hold a conversation. It is just down the street from the Belmont stop on the red line. Fantastic restaurant. No hesitation about returning. Price is reasonable.
We ate here recently before the Blue Man group show. The food is good, and the $29 3 course meal is a great value. They also have an extensive cocktail list. It was a bit loud, but it was Saturday night. Waiter worked to get us out on time, very appreciated!
Nice corner location; attractive interior. At 6:45pm on a Saturday, there were only a few tables populated. The host/waiter asked us for our order no less than 3 times; as first time guests, we needed time to peruse the broad and appealing menu. My wife was ecstatic about every element of her meal, from the Gazpacho thru to the Pan Seared Dry Pac Scallops with white truffle oil -- seared to a nice crunch with a soft, buttery interior; truffle oil was used judiciously to add delightful flavor without overwhelming. My experience was uneven ... my Tom Collins lacked its "Fresh Orange & Door County Cherries", my NY Strip steak was thin and overcooked. The Caesar Salad is very unique & recommended. The Sweet Corn Ravioli is passable.
We went to Jack's on Halsted before Blue Man Group. The food was great with lovely presentation! Our kids had a great time and our waiter was very friendly! I would recommend this place to anyone in the area!!
The owner Drew Johnson and his staff especially Christian (bartender) certainly know how to make you feel welcome. Jacks on Halsted has a secluded outdoor patio with luscious greenery lining the walls.
We had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent, the service was good and that is it. No complaints at all.
This was our second time there in the past few months and once again the food and service were exceptional. Actually, we have had the same great experience since first going there when they opened years ago. Definitely one of our favorites in the city and a must return soon.
I know I'll have a great dinner if I come here, whether I'm with one friend or 5; always delicious!
We've been dining at Jack's for years. It is consistently good food, drinks, and service. Whether you eat the delicious appetizers "tapas" style or have an entree, you can't go wrong. My red snapper over basmati rice with a light curry broth was inventive and thoroughly enjoyable. My dining partners scallops with truffle oil was even better. I even had to tip the very attentive bus boy in the bar area who made sure everyone was attended to. Thanks Jack's! We'll be back as usual!
Weate here before catching a show down the street. Everything was amazing. I had the salmon which was probably the best salmon I've ever had. I would definitely go here again!!!!
Jacks gets 5 stars from us. Food was great - Service was right on - drinks super We go a few times a year with friends and this is the place to go!!!!!
My partner and I were in Chicago visiting friends and we found Jack's on Open Table. What an amazing dinner. I had the scallops with polenta and was very pleased. My partner had the filet and it was by far one of the best he's eaten...and we're natural-born beefeaters. Amazing! The ambience of the restaurant is superb if a bit noisy on a Saturday night. Great, great experience. We'll absolutely put Jack's on our "must do" list when we return to Boystown.
I hadn't been to Jack's for quite awhile, but was taking a friend to dinner and was told it was one of her favorites. No wonder! The food was excellent - I had the pork tasting sampler, which was perfect, and my two dinner companions both had the steak. We paired our meals with a very reasonably priced french cabernet, which was also good. Nice ambience and quiet enough to carry on a conversation.The waitstaff was friendly and responsive without being clingy. Overall a great dining experience!
The food presentation was very nice!!! Food was great and wait staff was excellent! We will go back!!
We had a great evening at Jacks. The burgers are always excellent. Gourmet beef cooked just right. The Ruby Red Martinis are a must. Great service as always. Thanks Jacks
Service was great. Food great. We had a large group and they treated us like individuals. Will definitely go back as soon as possible.
From the drinks, to the delicious food, to the high-energy level, to the spectacular service from our waiter, Chase, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Jack's on Saturday evening.
This was my first visit and I had a wonderful time. Our waiter (I wish I remembered his name sorry!) was awesome. He had great suggestions and was so much fun! And the food was great. I will definitely be coming back.
Excellent food. Fair prices, pretty large portions. I had the salmon and it was amazing. We did the Jack's special, $29 for starter, entree and dessert.
We had a nice dinner at Jacks. The steak and fries were excellent. Quesadilla hors doeuvres were excellent. Ruby Red martinis are amazing. Thanks
The Mediterranean Grilled Salmon is consistently great with a very large portion of salmon and wonderfully blended flavors that don't the salmon. The staff is very friendly and attentive to individuals' needs.
We were greeted warmly, waited on promptly and were amazed at the portions and quality of food. Definitely recommend.
I chose Jack's for a group of six of us to brunch. They gave us a great table and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The prices were reasonable and the range of options was perfect for a brunch crowd with levels of hunger ranging from peckish to ravenous. I was actually surprised not to see more people there, considering the nice atmosphere/location/etc. I would say that the only thing missing would be a bottomless mimosa option. This has caught on with most other brunch spots in the city for weekend brunch, even at the more upscale locations. Regardless, this is a great centrally located spot for friends to gather on a weekend morning!
We stumbled on to Jack's for a late dinner without knowing anything about it. My family and I had a wonderful time. The owner took care of us and got us seated as soon as possible (15 minute wait). Great menu–something for everyone. Waitstaff was spectacular. Went out of their way to make sure we were happy. Food was cooked perfectly. Will definitely return.
Busy, but able to get in with OpenTable. Food was awesome, a welcome surprise. It was like adding a hint of a July 4th picnic to an elegant dinner during a cold November night.
This is one of my most favorite restaurants in the city - always reliable and great food. We locked in a last minute reservation for four on Saturday night. Our waiter was wonderful. It was a little noisy due to a large party at an extended table sprawling across 1/2 the restaurant, but it didn't affect our service or the delivery of drinks, appetizers, or main courses. AND - my beef tenderloin dinner was awesomely good - and I'm picky about steak. We basically went with all the recommendations of our server. Thanks for the GREAT evening!
First time at Jack's. Food great; service fabulous. Will definitely return!
They had a wonderfully extensive fixed price menu for a 4 course dinner on Thanksgiving. Perhaps the best thing was the duck comfit risotto - deliciously savory and cooked perfectly.
Jack's is one of our fav neighborhood restaurants. The food is always delicious, prices are reasonable, the drinks are generous'and the service from Barry, our waiter was the best. I love everything I've had from Seafood to Steaks to the Thanksgiving 4 course meal. Highly recommended. Great place for a group of friends or a romantic dinner for two.
We wanted a nice place for a thanksgiving dinner and we found it. First visit. Absolutely delish. Festive prix fixe options. The owner (I assume) sat nearby with folks he was entertaining and overheard that I was cold (we were by the window). He offered to move us, but we declined. He said "I'll turn up the heat." And we were warmer within minutes. He told me as we were leaving that I looked beautiful. We live in the neighborhood and plan a return visit soon.
Food was fantastic, service was great. My only comment is about how noisy it was, very difficult to have a civilized conversation across the table.
I chose this restaurant for our girls weekend dinner. There were seven of us, and everything was great from the time we arrived until the time we left. The wait staff was excellent. All of us had a different entrée and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our dinners I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Rated 5 out of 5 by carol60 LOVE these!
I absolutely love these plates. I purchased 4 along with a set of Tea Rose dinnerware about one month ago, and find that I use them all the time. They are perfect for small snacks, (and help to keep the snack portions under control). I love the look--along with the creamer, the tapas plates are aesthetically my favorite pieces. They seem to be of excellent quality and, so far, stand up well to dishwasher and microwave use.

The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine2008 Christian Bookseller's Covention Book of the Year Award winner! World-renowned scientist Richard Dawkins writes in The God Delusion: "If this book works as I intend, religious readers who open it will be atheists when they put it down." The volume has received wide coverage, fueled much passionate debate and caused not a little confusion. Alister McGrath, along with his wife, Joanna, are ideal to evaluate Dawkins's ideas. Once an atheist himself, he gained a doctorate in molecular biophysics before going on to become a leading Christian theologian. He wonders how two people, who have reflected at length on substantially the same world, could possibly have come to such different conclusions about God. McGrath subjects Dawkins's critique of faith to rigorous scrutiny. His exhilarating, meticulously argued response deals with questions such as

OK as far as it goes
ユーザー レビュー - Christianbook.comIncluding Intro, Bibliography and Further Reading, this book is still less than 100 pages long.One can only expect so much from such a short work. What this book does not do is provide a systematic outline let alone in depth account of Dawkin's works or ideas about God and as a result of this, one is left wondering at times what Dawkins said more specifically.When Mcgrath does quote him I was really surprised to read so many badly written Dawkins passages, how cliched his ideas and victims were, and so much emotiveness with so little philosophy to back it up. The most interesting parts of the book cover the howlers Dawkins made eg about Paul writing the Epistle to the Hebrews and attributing a quote to Tertullian which the internet has provided him with; and more generally how many other atheists, humanists and non-christians were and are embarrassed by not only his agruments but also his ignorance of the bible in particular and religion overall. This is not the book to take apart such sloppiness but is an OK starting point for anyone who is wondering what all the fuss is about and has little experience of such debates.
Review: The Dawkins Delusion?: Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine

It was only a matter of time before this one appeared on the radar: Blockbuster streaming to Blu-ray devices.
The company hasn't announced anything specific yet, but following the official launch of its MediaPoint set-top box product with 2Wire, the rental giant could be headed the way of its chief competitor, Netflix.
In an interview with E-Commerce Times, Blockbuster CEO Jim Keyes noted that the set-top box was just the first step for the company in getting its On Demand movies to other devices that people will have in their home theaters, including Blu-ray players as early as the first quarter of next year:
Jim Keyes: Right, we will have other offerings expanded from this capability. We'll be able to put the same capability into a Blu-ray player. We'll go into DVRs (digital video recorders), game consoles, etc., just as others are doing to make the same capability available through other devices.
ECT: I'm glad you mentioned that, because the top of the TV seems to be getting really crowded.
Keyes: We'll be able to fix that. I think one of the most natural solutions is the same capability put into a Blu-ray player. The reason that is going to be an excellent feature—and we'll have that capability by the first quarter next year—basically you unplug your old DVD player and plug in your new Blu-ray player.
Yes, we know that the "others" are Netflix, and that that company is not only streaming movies, but going one step further and starting to do so in high-definition, like the recently announced feature on LG's BD300 Blu-ray player.
CrunchGear speculated that because of Sony's history with Blockbuster, that included the push to Blu-ray over HD DVD during the high-def media format war, Blockbuster's streaming would be a natural for the PlayStation 3, which clobbered the competition in our most recent "AVS Forum Recommends" survey of recommended Blu-ray players—even though it's a gaming console first, Blu-ray player second.

Yasmin Crowther Biography
Yasmin Crowther is the product of an
Anglo-Iranian household (Iranian mother and British father). She says that she
"feels like I am a part of both places and not fully understood by either
place", and that's one reason she wrote The Saffron Kitchen, her first
novel, to try and communicate how difficult it is to bridge both worlds, and yet
how fundamentally essential it feels to be able to make that bridge. This biography was last updated on 06/16/2011.

'Adventure Series' to begin Friday
Citizen Staff Reports 02/27/12
The County of Henrico Division of Recreation and Parks will present its annual Adventure Series in March, featuring slide presentations and speakers celebrating the outdoors. The first two presentations will include speakers discussing their own adventures, and the series will conclude with some short films on mountain culture. The Adventure Series is free for all ages and takes place on March 2, 16 and 23. Locations vary and are listed below, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. The series will feature the following presentations: • "Waterwalk: A Passage of Ghosts", Friday, March 2, 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Henrico County Administration Board Room (4301 E. Parham Road, Henrico 23228) – In 1996 Steven Faulkner and his 16 year-old son Justin left the fast world of cars, jobs, schools, televisions, and computers and set out on a 1,000 mile voyage in their 16-foot canoe, Natty Bumpo. They followed the route first taken in 1673 by the early French explorers Joliet and Marquette to discover the Upper Mississippi River. Waterwalk is a journey into the heart of this continent 300 years ago, a modern exploration of the quiet waterways that weave their way through America, and a voyage through the heart of a father-son relationship. Steven Faulkner teaches Creative Writing at Longwood University. A movie based on his book "Waterwalk: A Passage of Ghosts" is being produced by Michigan Blue Lake Productions. • Across the Roof of America presented by Leonard Atkins, Friday, March 16, 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Henrico County Administration Board Room (4301 E. Parham Road, Henrico 23228) – The Continental Divide follows the Rocky Mountains for more than 2,700 miles in the United States and is a part of the National Scenic Trails System. A complete traverse of it demands using maps and compass during cross-country travel, fording glacier melt-swollen streams, ascending 13,000-foot passes, crossing deserts in 100-degree heat, and crashing through thigh-high snow drifts. As Coordinator of the Across the Roof of America Expedition, award-winning local author and renowned hiker Leonard Atkins will share stories and photos as he walked the Continental Divide for six months from Canada to Mexico. • An Evening With Mountainfilm, Friday, March 23, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Henrico Theatre in Highland Springs (305 E Nine Mile Road, Henrico 23075) – Each year in Telluride, Colorado, Mountainfilm celebrates cultures unique to mountain communities with an international rendezvous of legendary mountaineers, environmentalists, filmmakers, authors, scientists, and artists. The mission of Mountainfilm is to educate and inspire audiences about issues that matter, cultures worth exploring, and environments worth preserving.

Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest.

I look at my stomach in the mirror each morning and all I see is fat. But I am told by everyone I know that I am skinny as a stick. Do your eyes play tricks on you when you look down at your stomach or is everyone trying to be nice to me? - Becca*
You may think that people are just being nice. But with such a big difference between what you see in the mirror and what others see, something else could be going on. It might mean that the "fat" you see is not as much as you think it is, and that others hardly notice it.
During adolescence, female bodies go through lots of normal changes, including storing a little more fat. As with any change, this may take some adjustment. It can feel strange getting used to living in a body that's different from the one we used to have. It can be tempting to compare ourselves with all the other bodies we see, whether they're those of classmates or people on TV. But people come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Learning to love and accept our bodies ("imperfections" and all) helps our self-esteem stay strong. Perhaps you're being too hard on yourself, too self-critical, and noticing only the things about your appearance that you aren't satisfied with. By paying so much attention to this one thing, you're giving it more emphasis than it deserves. That can chip away at your overall body image.
Having a distorted body image can affect our relationships, too. Perhaps your friends are growing tired of hearing you talk about your body — especially if they think you have nothing to worry about. It can be hard for people (even really good friends) to constantly hear others put themselves down or look for reassurance about their appearance.
What can you do to adjust to your changing body? Instead of focusing so much on appearance, focus on eating healthy foods and getting plenty of exercise. Appreciate your body for what it can do, notice the things you like, and pay attention to developing your inner beauty, too. Taking these steps will help set the stage for a lifetime of appreciating, rather than feeling insecure about, your body. And that will help you look and feel more self-confident!
If you try these things but still have trouble shifting your focus away from your body and weight, talk to your health care provider or with a therapist who specializes in body image and eating disorders. You want to get a healthy perspective on your body image to prevent an eating disorder or other problem.
