ALBANY, GA -- Politics are back in season as lawmakers get ready to head back to Atlanta for another legislative session.
But before representing the people, they need to talk to the people, and they did Wednesday at a breakfast with local business leaders.
"We really are using this breakfast to try to peak their interest, by having the legislators here to talk about what they see the priorities being in Atlanta for this next session," said Jay Smith of the Chamber of Commerce.
Dougherty County's three state representatives were each given a chance to address the crowd.
First up Winfred Dukes, who hopes lawmakers can draw down an energy tax currently placed manufacturers.
"The energy tax costs the state of Georgia approximately $160 million per year, but when you look at the state of Georgia and all of our neighbors; Florida, Alabama and South Carolina, they have no energy tax," said Rep. Dukes.
Representative Carol Fullerton knows the number of South Georgia legislators will be down this year. She says success for the region depends on whether or not they can work together.
"We need to stay as powerful as we can be and together on issues when we face Atlanta. We're not fighting the people of Atlanta, but we need to help make them understand that they are an important part of the state as well as they are," said Rep. Fullerton.
Ed Rynders, who because of reapportionment will likely stop representing Dougherty County next year, says the region can't wait for state's help.
"We're not going to overcome, whatever poorest city in the United States. We're not going to overcome gangs, and crime and people who don't want to go downtown, by continuing to do the same thing, by people playing to their own political baseline," said Rynders.

12 YEARS A SLAVE Sweeps Boston Online Film Critics Awards with Best Picture, Director, Actor, and Supporting Actress
by Adam Chitwood Posted 5 days ago
Oscar frontrunner 12 Years a Slave has nabbed its first critics group award in a very big way. The Boston Online Film Critics Association awarded the incredibly moving drama six trophies in all, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Editing, and Best Original Score for Hans Zimmer. Clear frontrunner Cate Blanchett continued her roll with another Best Actress award, Jared Leto landed Best Supporting Actor for his transformative work in Dallas Buyers Club, and the Best Animated Film trophy was split between Frozen and The Wind Rises. Additionally, the Boston Online Film Critics Top 10 has a few refreshingly eclectic choices, with The World's End, Blue Is the Warmest Color, and The Spectacular Now all nabbing well-deserved spots alongside films like Gravity, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Inside Llewyn Davis.
For those keeping score at home, we now have three critics group announcements and three different Best Pictures. The New York Film Critics Circle went for American Hustle, the National Board of Review lauded Her, and now Boston has tapped 12 Years. Hit the jump to read the full list of Boston Online Film Critics awards.

Last year we sent 15 pairs of our barefoot shoes, the Neo Velcro to be precise, to Mr Eckes' class at the Elm Lawn Elementary school in Wisconsin.
"I am a Physical Education teacher at an Elementary school in Wisconsin. I was introduced to the VIVOBAREFOOT shoes by a colleague and friend of mine at a morning exercise group I participate in. From the first time I put a pair of Vivos on, I was amazed at how it felt to actually USE MY FEET again! I believe that as a society, we have forgotten how much information our feet actually can give our bodies, and these shoes have helped me relearn this! They have changed the way I move my body completely, and for the better. My lower back, shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles have all benefited from these shoes. To take it a step further, we received pairs of Vivos for students that do not have their own shoes during their gym class. The students LOVE them. The only bad thing is they "forget" their shoes on purpose now just so they can wear them! As an educator of movement, seeing students free their bodies and move in these shoes brings a smile to my face. Thank you Vivobarefoot for your wonderful products!"
– Jason Eckes, Elm Lawn Elementary, Wisconsin

A new examination of the origin of syphilis supports the theory that the sexually transmitted disease was carried to Europe aboard Christopher Columbus' ships as they sailed home from the New World.
The disease was not spread through sexual contact at the time, but adapted to survive once it got to Europe, Emory University researchers say.
"Syphilis has been around for 500 years," study co-leader Molly Zuckerman, a former Emory graduate student who is now an assistant professor at Mississippi State University, said in an Emory news release. "People started debating where it came from shortly afterwards, and they haven't stopped since. It was one of the first global diseases, and understanding where it came from and how it spread may help us combat diseases today."
After analyzing skeletal evidence in 54 published reports, the researchers found that syphilis did not exist in Europe until after Columbus' historic voyage to the New World in 1492. They said that most of the skeletal material lacked characteristics that would meet standard diagnostic criteria for chronic syphilis, such as small holes on the skull and long bones.
It appears that skeletons previously considered evidence of syphilis in Europe before Columbus' trip were dated incorrectly because of seafood consumption, which would have altered the collagen levels of the skeletons, the researchers said.
Their appraisal is published in the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology.
"This is the first time that all 54 of these cases have been evaluated systematically," said study co-author George Armelagos, an anthropologist at Emory, in the news release. "The evidence keeps accumulating that a progenitor of syphilis came from the New World with Columbus' crew and rapidly evolved into the venereal disease that remains with us today."
The researchers suggested someone sailing with Columbus brought Treponema—the bacteria that causes syphilis—to Europe. This type of bacteria also causes other diseases that are spread through skin-to-skin or oral contact in tropical climates. Their theory is that the bacteria mutated into the sexually transmitted form to survive in the cooler and more sanitary conditions of Europe.

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Comments about Storkcraft Baby Storkcraft Soom Soom Toddler Bed in Cognac:
This is a very nice Toddler Bed for the price. I purchased the Cognac finish which appears to be a warm to dark orange/red color. It ships in a rather large box with the headboard, footboard and guard rails pre-assembled (other name brand toddler beds require that you assemble these). My husband is pretty handy and did the assembly by himself. Assembling the slats on the base of the bed was the most challenging part as you really need 4 hands to hold it all together. Overall, I would recommend this bed.

My son loves his new bed. He has been in it for about three weeks now and we have not had any issues. This bed, though a little difficult to put together is sturdy.
Good for the money
By Kayaker Dad
from Greensboro, NC
About Me First Time Parent
[...] Color was true to discription, and the finish was furniture quality. Assembly was not difficult, but it definitely was good to have a helper to keep the slats in line until you get the base built. After that it was a breeze. Light enough to move around as needed. All in all a good value, and a good match for her furniture. Seems like it will be strong enough to get our toddler up to an adult bed, but at this price it seems adequate. She is 2 1/2 and 30 pounds now, so we hope to have her in it for 1 to 1.5 years tops. hope this helps!

By Dad's Two Jobs

About Me Practical, Stylish
The first thing I found is this product is well built. Not difficult to put together, and construction allowed me to see good quality.The rounded edges of the headboard and footboard were one of the biggest draws. Our son is very active and jumps around a lot. This safety feature was worth the few extra bucks this bed costs.The color we chose, Cognac, looks high quality in its finish.I only wish the bed were 6 inches longer so it could get a bit more use. But than it wouldn't use a crib matress...

By Jimi T
from Undisclosed
Some of the holes on one side were not drilled so I had to do it myself. When you're off by a milimeter, it really puts a quirk in things. All in all, the construction was good; it was just not finished.

The MobiGo2 by VTech is designed for 3-8 year olds and my boys are 3 and 6 - the perfect ages for this system. VTech products are known for their smart play - entertaining, engaging, and educational and that's exactly what I'm looking for in toys for my childrenThe MobiGo 2 is packed full of features that make learning fun! The new MobiGo 2 Touch Learning System is a multi-functional, educational handheld system that allows kids to enjoy on-the-go play and hone their creativity. It's a fun way for kids to work on basic skills such as math, vocabulary, spelling, reading, logic, drawing and more. The MobiGo 2 comes preloaded with three great games and also functions as an e-reader, photo album, photo viewer, art studio and coloring book.One of our favorite features is the motion sensor. It provides for total game control and allows kids to creation action movement within the games and programs during play. The microphone that provides different methods of game play. You can blow into the microphone to move objects, blow off dust, or create other special effects. You can also speak into the microphone to give a command or trigger an action. My 3 yo has really enjoyed Art Master and Hamster Highway the most. The games that I downloaded are a little too advanced for him but are an excellent learning tool. He has gotten frustrated a couple of times because there are not keys dedicated specifically to the numbers on the keyboard but I'm sure he'll get used to that :) I really love that this is a system that can grow with the boys.We took the MobiGo 2 on our Disneyland vacation a couple of weeks ago and it was so perfect for the car ride - I only wished I had two of them! The boys had to take turns but it was nice to have a distraction for them and an educational one at that. This past weekend the MobiGo 2 went camping with us and it was great! The MobiGo 2 is so durable - it's perfect for taking on the go and unlike adult products {phones, tablets, etc.} it can withstand the typical abuse that children dole out to their toys. Our friend's daughter (5 years old) had never played with electronic toys before and after watching Reece play a couple of games she was able to pick up the MobiGo 2 and play on her own with no instruction needed. The platform is very user-friendly and with the games that come pre-loaded, kids can pick it up and play right away.The look and feel of the MobiGo 2 is perfect for kids. The colors are bright and cheerful and the device is comfortable to hold. The screen slides up easily to reveal the QWERTY keyboard which is a wonderful way to help kids become familiar with a standard keyboard layout.The MobiGo 2 connects to VTech's Learning Lodge Navigator™ where you can download apps and e-books (coming December 2012. The purchase of your MobiGo 2 entitles you to three free downloads from the Learning Lodge and make sure to check out the more than 80 other apps available for download onto the expanded onboard memory. We've redeemed two of our downloads but I'm holding out for the e-books for my final free download :) I really am excited to see how the e-reader feature works! The new MobiGo 2 is such a great value and has the new motion sensor and microphone in addition to the touchscreen. The MobiGo 2 comes pre-loaded with three games so your children can play immediately. It's perfect for taking on the go whether it's a road trip, camping, restaurants, doctor's office, or any other time you need a little assistance keeping your child educationally entertained. This would make the perfect Christmas present for your little learner! I am most disappointed that the e-books are not even available yet. I also would have liked to see a row of keys dedicated to numbers on the keyboard - the way it is can be confusing for younger users. I would also have liked the system to be rechargeable. Overall I am very happy with the unit and my boys are too. I know the MobiGo 2 will be used for years to come.I have received VTech MobiGo 2 to facilitate my review.

My son loves his new game but after having it for only a week he dropped it on the floor and the screen broke. I figured it would be a lot more durable for the age range. My daughter has had her leapster for a few years and the screen is still perfect. I guess we are going to stick with leapster.

My grandson loves his MobiGo 2. He plays it at home, in the car, at the store. The games are educational and fun. He also has the the first Mobigo and we liked it so much we decided to buy the Movigo 2 when it came out. It is very durable. The batteries last a long time. I really can't think of anything I don't like about it.

Montana Ale Works
Online Reservations
Took some friends to Montana Ale Works for a Saturday night dinner. Its one of the few OpenTable restaurants in Montana. Great food and service. We all had a good time. I especially commented the day after that the menu was nicely varied and well priced.
Very interesting and varied menu. Everything our group of six ordered was excellent. Appetizers were appealing and sufficient to share. Very enjoyable experience! Beer selection especially outstanding...Montana State University students were there in force!
Outstanding food and service! Great beer selection.
Ale Works consistently delivers outstanding food and service. Try the tenderloin, it is one of the best steaks served in Montana! Get there before 6 PM and get great appetizers for a great price!
We had made a reservation far in advance via Open Table at Montana Ale Works for 8pm the night we arrived in Bozeman. When we checked in they had our reservation and took us to a side room away from the fantastic main dining area in the refurbished train station. Our table was the only 2 top in that area, the rest were large groups of 8 or more, and we were stuck in the back of that room. We expressed our displeasure and were told that this was the only room used for reservations which meant no one with a reservation could sit in the main dining area. We told them we did not want that table and had to put our name on the waiting list for another table. We ended up waiting at the bar and had a great time. The food and service were great.
Excellent service and food. Next time we'll reserve the entire grill room for our group party so that we don't have to share it with other diners.
Visiting famile and it was a great find. Try the Montana Meatloaf...the best!
It was our first visit to Bozeman and Montana Ale works and it was fabulous, we would highly recommend this restaurant.
our waitress was fantastic, guests from England had bison & raved about the dish. Halibut was delish as well. We had a micro-beer fan in our group and he enjoyed several good beers. They should have a sampler tray of the beers. Good evening.
Wonderful food and service. Would highly recommend reservations.
We saw reviews on TripAdvisor and got the hint that it is best to get a reservation if possible. We made the reservation and were happy we did. The bar was hopping. There were about 10-15 people waiting to be seated in the bar. When we reported in and showed them our open table reservation we were seated within 10 minutes. the reservation area is closed off from the bar area so it is quieter. Tables are covered with linen tablecloths and the service was personalized and excellent. The waiter new details about the dishes and made recommendations. My husband ordered Guinea Fowl confit with chantrelles on a bed of baby greens with beet reduction. I had steak. Both were excellent. Loved it.
A fab place for dinner. My husband and I are foodies. And when I had the occasion to meet james beard in San Francisco years ago he inquired how my dinner was, I told him not that great but when we walked in the restaurant and saw him I knew all the chefs were preparing for him and the dishwasher was probably cooking for us...I have been taking cooking lessons for 40 years and usually the best dinners we have had are what we fix at home. We had the best filet of beef we have ever had at any restaurant....chicken curry soup wonderful. And divine desserts....it is a fun place...nothing stuffy or hautey.. A great dinner and I will certainly return....now as james beard said, "when u r paying for good food u should receive quality" and we did.
We had a fantastic dinner at Montana Ale Works on Tuesday August the 20th, 2013. We had reservations and although they were incredibly busy, our wait staff and food were both excellent! I had the steak special and it came out quick and delicious! Drinks were well priced and will definitely come here every time we are in Bozeman!
We're visiting from Homestead, Florida. The first time we visited, note was taken that most of those being seated had made reservations, nonetheless, we had no phone service so that was out of the question. However, despite us not having reservations, we were recognized, and attention given during our wait. We discovered while looking on line, reservations could be made without the means of either a land or cell line provider. We booked our dinner for 9:45pm, we arrived about 20 minutes early and sat within 2 minutes. I wish to recognize those for the greatest and outstanding service we received on 9/9/2013 table 17/1 @ 8:56pm 7/70050 our first visit to Dug and on 9/14/2013 table 5/1 @ 9:36pm 6/60049 our second visit to Amy. Thank-You.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here - in fact, it was the best of our week in WY and Montana. I had the paella special which was absolutely fabulous, my husband had the shepherd pie which he thought was great. Excellent server who helped choose beers for us. The only issue is that it is NOISY, so if you like to be able to talk to each other without yelling, go into the side room by the hostess.
Took some business associates out on Sunday evening, first time in Bozeman. Impressive meal, great service. Ale works is a staple on our dining circuit.
The food specials they offer are awesome and so is the regular menu. The burgers are great. Have had burgers there five times before and every one has been amazing. I have had just about everything on the menu there and the only thing I would not order again is the mac and cheese, it just wasn't of the same quality that the rest of the food they offer is. I usually go later in the night on a Friday for dinner, order a scotch to start then pick one of the many beers they have and order food. It's the specials that get me to come in, I check the specials online and if there is something that stands out (usually at least two items) then I go. The bar/high tables are a little noisy but the grill room is not noisy at all. 4.5*
The grill room is a nice quite spot for dining. The bar area is the more happening place. Very good food, and they know how to deal with food allergies! The servers are always very nice and helpful. We go here fairly often, so I wish the menu was larger and a little more diverse.

Randolph's at Warwick Denver Hotel
Online Reservations
I figured this is a hotel restuarant and set my expectations accordingly. i had dinner there before a show at DCPA (I was coming from the east) and was genuinely impressed. They had a shrimp on an eggplant puree dish that was really good. We sat out on the patio on a beautiful night and had a great dinner. We have been back several times and have never been disappointed. The place is never crowded and I always wonder why not. I believe they are underappreciated!
We are regular diners at Randolph's (6x+/year) and we hadn't been there in about 3 months. We noticed immediately management had changed. The hostess was rude. We only recognized one employee. All of our favorite waiters were gone! We also noticed a big change in the menu. The wine prices were down considerably. We ordered a favorite and was please the price was $15 less than before. The Caeser salad was fine. One of our entrees was very good, the other--not so much. I sent it back. They've added small plates to their menu, so I ordered the duck enchiladas to replace my entree, which were superb. We shared a creme brulee, which was standard. Our waiter, Michael was fantastic. Damon, the manager was very attentive and knowledgeable.
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Warwick hotel recently and ate at Randolph's for dinner on our last night in Denver. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The NY strip steak was delicious and I was impressed by their wine list. The strawberry shortcake is a must for dessert. Overall a very nice experience.
I absolutely loved the meal I had at Randolph's! The ambience is just beautiful, the service is outstanding and the food is delicious.
the whole experience was great, quiet romantic dinner, awesome service.
We went for Sunday Brunch and conversation. Food was very good, service was excellent. And we were allowed to linger to enjoy conversation between friends. Valet Parking was also great. I would recommend it as a great place to meet or take folks for Sunday Brunch. Now we will have to check out dinner.
I had been dating my girl seriousely for a time, and felt the time was right to pop the question. I managed to make my reservations online. The Randalf's website was very user friendly, and I thought to make a special request for just this night. Randalf's was very accomadating! Thank You, Randalf's. The atmosphere and ombiance was very elegant, warm, and inviting. The service and servers was outstanding. The food was robust, full of flavor, and out right delicious. The wine selectios were vast and, the wine I chose was delicious; adding to and commpleting the meal. I would absoluely suggest that if you are looking for a beautiful and grand restaurant, with a great menu and food... Randalf's is absolutely for you.
I like this place. The food is always very good, though never brilliant. Service is normally very good, but on this visit we dined on the same day they instilled a new manager, and the staff was distracted. For me, Randolf's is an excellent choice for a nice business lunch or quiet dinner for two on a Friday night. In warm weather, the patio is nice, but urban.
We usually celebrate our anniversary here. Very nice ambiance, good service, fine food.
We had lunch and dinner here, it was a pleasant surprise to find good food and great service in a hotel restaurant!!
Nice outdoor dining area that is nicely landscaped.
Best ribeye ever, excellent salad, great dessert. Service was outstanding, waiter superb.
We greatly enjoyed our dinner. Food was excellent. Staff was very agreeable to our request to change table for a better view of the evening rain. If anything, wait staff was over loaded which caused things to be slow. We would definitely return however. Great place!
The wait staff was clearly overwhelmed on the Saturday night we visited Randolph's, even though there were not that many diners present. Our server apologized for the delay and comped our drinks, which was very nice of her. The food was OK but not up to expectations. We will give them another try because the setting is lovely and the low noise level is a great improvement over most Denver restaurants.
My Sisters and I have been there a few times for Sunday Brunch. We love it! The food is very good, the service can't be beat and the prices are great. We very much want to do Dinner there. Hopefully soon.
Food was delicious, server, Erica, was very professional, helpful, and friendly.
Food was great. Service was a little slow, but still okay.
Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Extremely accomodating.....very pleasant patio dining atmosphere.....innovative and tasteful food presentations.....professional service
We dined at Randolph's for a second time on Saturday. The food is very nicely prepared, but the chef needs to cut down on hot spices a little for our tastes. The staff was short, but very eager to make up for the longer wait by refilling water, refilling bread basket, and extra attention, and apologies. Food is imaginative, I can't wait for the lamb to rejoin the menu. This restaurant proves me wrong-there are good restaurants in hotels, this is one of them. We don't usually have dessert, but broke our diets this time. The flowerless chocolate cake was wonderful, but house-made ice cream even better! I like the ambiance and the cozy dining room. It feels nice, friendly staff (not too friendly) and beautifully served plates.
I've gone to Randolph's for years. Always love the food, ambiance & wait staff but on this occasion, we were using a living social deal I purchased. Although initially waitress was extremely friendly, once I displayed the living social deal on table, the service declined dramatically. We noticed others seated after us with same waitress, received food much faster & saw waitress more often than we did. I was embarrassed since I had brought my brother who was visiting from out of town to celebrate his birthday. I will continue to go to Randolph's but I would suggest that if they do future living social deals that they teach wait staff to treat those customers the same as the ones paying full price. 20 minutes to wait for dessert to go is sad.
I have recently had two not-so-good experiences at Randolph's but they seem to be getting their act together again. Food was good (though not up to their previous standard) and staff was friendly and helpful, both big improvements ove my last two visits.
Much improved over our last experience here. No complaints this time, other than getting no bread. The food and service were exceptional.
Randolph's is going through changes. They've always been a favorite of ours, but new management, chef, staff, etc. had us a little surprised. It was very good though. Some other 'tweeks' need to be made yet, but overall it was pretty good. Our server was not used to working evenings, so he was a bit slow. The menu has changed quite a bit, so we were thrown off. Most of it was really great, though, just some minor things that we mentioned to them and they were more than receptive, so I think their changes will be met with enthusiasm. We will continue to go back.
We went there for a dinner and it was a great experience: from food to service. We left very satisfy.
The atmosphere is soft, warm, quiet and rich with dim lighting and a fireplace as well as a nice view. On top of the ambience, the food is always impeccably prepared with rich flavor. The waitstaff are very courteous and know a lot about the menu and there is no wait to be seated.
Food,service and ambience were really perfect! our first experience was disappointing but decided to give it another try- Glad we did because what a difference--look forward to checking out their brunch menu-
Randolph's is a charming place to have a lovely dinner. The food was very good and the staff was friendly. We read previous reviews warning of slow service, so we went prepared to take our time and were pleasantly surprised by the attention we received and how quickly our food was actually delivered. It is certainly a place to go when you want to relax and enjoy good food, conversation and a pleasant atmosphere. The outdoor patio is very nice.
We enjoy going to Randolph's because the noise level is generally subdued compared to most Denver restaurants, the ambience is warm and welcoming, the food is very good, and the service is usually exceptional. On this particular occasion, my fillet did not arrive medium rare as ordered (indeed, there was not a hint of pink in the flesh of the meat), but because we had a symphony concert deadline, I did not make a fuss, especially since our waitress, Elizabeth, was so conscientiously about getting our meals as quickly as possible. We will continue to dine at Randolph's in the future.
Historic Warwick Hotel brings it's own ambience. Great, traditional interior, awesome staff and very well done and creative food with a varied wine list. They also apparently change the menu often. We will definitely go back.
We ordered the seared tuna for an appetizer that was quite good. The star of the dinner was my Halibut entree. It was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. We went to several nice restaurants during the week and this dish was my favorite. Service was very good and we felt very comfortable in their restaurant. We will return.
This our 5th time to dine here. The food and ambience is always outstanding.On our last visit, this past Saturday, the restaurant was quite busy and they seemed little understaffed. The service was OK, but not great, as it usually is. The wine by the glass menu could stand to be enlarged.
6 of us went. I cannot say enough about this amazing restaurant. Good valet parking,beautiful decor with a fresh long- stemmed rose and candlelight on each polished black table...very classy! We loved our waitress who explained each menu item,excellent bottles of wine ( under $40), scrumtptious food.....a wonderful evening!
This is our second time to Randolph's after a hiatus. Our meal was delicious and well prepared. Service was very good with only minor glitches (entree vegetable substitution that was not disclosed). We would go back.
Randolphs restaurant was very nice and the food very tasty with great presentation. I would definitely recommend this place for date-night.
Lovely dining atmosphere with glowing fireplace, nicely spaced seating, sparkling white patio lights visible through large dining room windows add a touch of a festivity. Our dinner was excellent and our waiter, Brian, was perfect. Valet parking made arrival easy and departure was within minutes of requesting our car, door open. The lobby of this hotel is interesting. A bit nostalgic as it reminded me of a high-end 60's decor, (all in very nice condition.) We dined on a coupon but will return without one when we want a good dinner and a pleasant, rather romantic, setting. Very nice. Manager, mid-way through dinner, inquired if all was well. It was.
We had a wonderful dinner at Randolph's - the menu has something for everyone - and the food is prepared with care. It is excellent for lunch as well!
Wish there were more stars to the rating. Our waiter was so attentive and friendly. The restaurant is gorgeous. My friend and I each ordered a different entree and shared. Each entree was over the top. The crabcakes appetizer was Unbelievably Delicious. Complimentary valet made being downtown stress free.
We had dinner for our third anniversary. Despite the service being a little off, we had a terrific time, as we always do at Randolph's. My waiter did not inform me that the bison tenderloin I ordered was no longer being served and it came out as bison short rib pot roast, so I did not really enjoy the meat. He also brought me a second martini, which I did not order. Of course they immediately comped the drink as well as dessert when they were made aware of these things. It's one of those elegant and attentive dining experiences that is always perfect for a special occasion. BEST crab cakes I have ever tasted!
There was 3 of us and we all thought everything was excellent. I had the Lamb. It was a little more rare than I usually have it but I ate it anyway and it was wonderful. My Uncle had the Buffalo Short Ribs and he was so pleased with them, they were so tasty and tender. My Husband says it was the best Halibut he's ever had anywhere.
Original reservation was moved to the bar as the restaurant was sold to a party, but we managed a seat in the rear that was quiet enough and service and food were very good.
The staff was friendly, attentive and professional. The food was well presented and delicious. We just did not care for the calamari.
We have made many repeat visits to Randolph's and are always pleased to find a friendly and competent staff, excellent food, and an ambience that invites rather than discourages normal volume conversation with your spouse. We will return.
We came as a family, and the kids are still talking about how great all of the food was.
Our first Thanksgiving at a restaurant. Enjoyed the choices and food was good. Pleasantly surprised at our experience.
The food was good but not exceptional. We've dined at Randolph's in the past and the food matched the décor. not quite there this time. Pretty basic faire though well prepared. Service was friendly and attentive. We still had a very pleasant evening but not quite what we had come to expect
My family and I stumbled on this gem eight years ago and have continued to celebrate Thanksgiving, and other special events at Randolph's. The menu is fabulous, the wine list superb and the service excellent. We look forward to many more meals and glasses of wine at Randolph's in the years to come.
I brought my mother-in-law and my 5 year old daughter here for lunch before going to see the Nutcracker. The place was just about empty ay 11:30am to everyone else's loss! Our breakfast was great and our server was exceptional!
Overall good food, but the service was very slow in getting out dinner fo 6 collegues on a Tuesday night.
The experience was wonderful. My only complaint was that there wine list was limited. Other than that, we enjoyed everything!
All 4 of us enjoyed the food. It was interesting and very tasty. However the service was uneven. The waiter arrived quickly to take drink orders and returned with them. Then he seemed to disappear for 25 minutes.

Online protests aim to save children's centres (From Bicester Advertiser)

Online protests aim to save children's centres
10:30am Monday 21st October 2013 in News By Katriona Ormiston, Reporter. Call me on (01865) 425426
A SERIES of online campaigns have been launched to save Oxfordshire's children's centres after it emerged they could close.
So far, more than 1,000 people have joined three Facebook campaigns to save all 44 of the county's children's centres.
Last week the Oxford Mail revealed the county council could close 37 of the children's centres to help plug a £61m black hole after a cut in Government funding.
But parents have said the centres are a lifeline for families.
Mum-of-two Becky Tegg, from Bicester, suffered post-natal depression after the birth of daughter Lucy, five.
Staff at two of Bicester's four children's centres offered support, counselling and referred her two-year-old daughter Maisie to a doctor when they noticed she had health problems.
Maisie has since been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease, an illness for which she will need medication for the rest of her life.
Mrs Tegg, 37, said: "I was on a knife edge. Luckily they helped me with Maisie at the respite crèche and provided counselling for me."
Mum-of-two Emma Taylor launched the Save Oxfordshire's Children's Centres campaign on Wednesday, which joined the Banbury-based Save Our Children's Centres Oxfordshire, and Chipping Norton's campaign Save the Ace Centre.
And an official petition is due to be launched today.
Mrs Taylor, from Henley, said: "Closing the children's centre's may save money in the short term but it could do long-term harm to families."
Mum-of-two Gemma Walters, who uses the Carterton children's centre, sent a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron via the Oxford Mail.
She said: "I and many others in my town are in utter despair over the proposed children's centre closures.
"Families from RAF Brize Norton use the centre and it helps them to deal with partners being sent on detachment, when they are new to the town and don't know anyone and are feeling scared and daunted by the new surroundings. " Emma Wise, who works at the North Abingdon children's centre, said the news was "shocking".
The 42-year-old mum-of-three said: "Parenthood can be very scary and it can be quite daunting leaving the house for the first time when you have a very young child, but the support network is all there."
The centres, which offer support to families of children under five, are used by 18,000 people a year and employ more than 260 staff.
The council needs to cut an extra £61m on top of £74m it is already saving.
Council leader Ian Hudspeth said: "They are understandable concerns.
"However, I want to work with everybody to find solutions to ensure we provide the best for the children.
"One of the unfortunate things is that we have to make savings across the services – highways, adult services too. If the communities value these services I am sure we can work with them to find a solution to safeguard them."
A meeting on cuts to county council services will be held in Wantage tonight. Conservative council leader Mr Hudspeth and chief executive Joanna Simons will ask the public for suggestions on how it can save £61m by 2018. The event is at Wantage Civic Hall, Portway, from 7.30pm to 9pm.
Campaigners lobby PM after spotting him shopping
CAMPAIGNERS fighting the planned closure of children's centres got the chance to put their case to the Prime Minister after spotting him in Chipping Norton.
About 50 people were protesting against the county council plans in Market Street on Saturday when they saw David Cameron, whose Witney constituency includes the town.
Protester and father-of-two Steve Akers, who sent his two children to the pre-school group at the town's children's centre, The Ace Centre, spoke to the PM.
He said: "The early intervention they do is absolutely crucial to social cohesion, keeping families together and supporting single parents when families break up.
"His response to me was basically that he supports the children's centres and then he went into the argument about where does the axe fall."
Mr Cameron was not available for comment.

banburybased says...
To elaborate, both my wife and I on separate occasions went to 2 different centres in Banbury. Both had other established members in a circle in the middle of a room and not one person introduced us, welcomed us nor asked us to join 'the circle'. They are clicks. As far as I could see there was not a facilitator in the room to ensure people were included and largely the sessions were unstructured. I went to another meeting in Banbury which I attended with a friend who is a nanny. A blunt woman (sorry she didn't introduce herself) told her to take her charges into another room as she was a nanny and not a mother; which suggest they are about the mothers and not the children. I was left in the room with the women and again sat on the outside of a 'click' of women who seemed to limit conversation to having over the character of pervious attendees absent on that day. I'd happily put these experiences down to being a man if it wasn't for my wife experiencing the same thing.
Please please cut this funding for a minority group/click and let them have these, 'if your face fits' meetings in each others' houses or if they want to use public facilities then pay a subscription, hire the venue and see how quickly they leap up and ask people (men, women or nannies) to join their groups. I for one do not support this campaign and fail to see why they can't instead be organised as welcoming, structured clubs which pay into the system instead.

Defense team targets ex-cop's third wife at center of murder trial

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Accused killer Drew Peterson back in court this morning the ex cops lawyer yesterday attacking his dead third wife Kathleen -- -- -- Peterson is charged with murdering.
Investigators -- first ruled her death an accidental drowning in an empty bathtub with her hair soaked in blood here's Peterson's lawyer.
-- -- Yeah about what am I don't -- the bus go round and yelling and screaming that there and it's coming -- here.
Yeah time or -- holder criminal defense attorney and Fox News contributor joins us now to discuss this as part of our legal panel along with Kelly saying -- an attorney and Chicago.
And and former prosecutor in Chicago thank you both so much for joining us.
Thank you Kelly is attacking the victim a good idea here.
Never attacking a victim is never a good idea Peterson is already unsavory the -- not gonna like him.
-- he's making himself also unlikable it's a bad note.
To -- it is mostly -- circumstantial.
Case is the evidence here going to be strong enough.
While personally I think that that you're Peterson committed this crime and I agree with Kelly that it's terrible to make -- -- down a fat person.
But this debt that evidence here unfortunately.
There's there's not a lot of -- I mean this was not treated like a crime scene game ruled it accidental.
After -- one hour of investigation or.
Lack thereof you know investigation didn't do it so I think that it's going to be very hard for the prosecution unfortunately.
To prove this case and -- -- is terrible defense team is the one that.
And that helping him be found guilty.
So Kelly what about that all they need is reasonable doubt here.
All of their sympathy for the victim must sign aid can the defense attorneys create that.
-- and lots of experts are saying that the fact that it was -- accident only the beginning is enough.
I don't agree with them I think the prosecution can do this I think -- -- convict.
I believe it is a circumstantial case that they have to be careful with these rulings where the judge.
He's -- -- they're going let's send getting in more things that she was fearful of him -- -- in the past he had knowledge of law enforcement technique.
He's kind of the dirt bag and getting all of that and and then showing motive and opportunity the divorce -- he stood to gain the fact that he was intimately familiar with where she landed.
Use -- -- that so that they look at it -- say this was an accidental and there's no other option other than beyond a reasonable doubt Drew Peterson did it.
But camera there have been some key court rulings that have gone against the prosecution no one of them being that the prosecution is allowed to say that.
Drew it may have offered somebody 25000 dollars to kill.
Kaplan a Kathleen how big a blow is back to the prosecution.
We'll see there there are two problems about the first says that there is evidence that they prepare for the -- spot they're going to be able to bring end and the other thing is the jury.
They're not lawyers -- than -- I don't think any of them are lawyers they are going to get confused and they're going to CDs attractions in these objections it's sustained.
I got in on the defense is a half.
And they're going to think maybe the prosecution is massing up so they've got to be very care -- Kelly sat -- also.
You know there were other things -- got almost like two in this trial when they mention the 25000 dollars for hit man in an opening a -- trial.
So they have to be very careful about where they're going with this case.
Kelly another ruling that went against prosecutors.
They cannot bring up this whole that drew supposedly put in the -- to show he had access to and her.
-- because the divorce wasn't final at that time the judge made a ruling that that's community property he owned it he can do whatever he wants to his property.
So that is a blow for prosecution.
It's coming down more acute now other witnesses observation is the hearsay that fact that she was fearful the fact that she wrote a letter saying.
You know can you please investigate and he's harassing me he's been violent if I'm -- he did it.
It's going to be very critical that those -- -- I don't think the judge necessarily got that one wrong.
It is a damning blow for the prosecution and the problem with the previous ruling about the 25000 dollars that you were just discussing.
The judge said that the prosecutors didn't let the defendants know how they intended to use it excuse me defense team.
And that to me seems like I suspect drilling because even talking about it all along I obviously the goal of that was to show motive and that he'd also been planning mass.
So I tell more -- that case obviously at first the death was ruled accidental -- in the case was reopened we now have other.
Medical experts -- saying this was no accident.
But how important is it to the case this initial ruling that it was an accident.
While it's important on both sides I mean on on one hand like I said earlier you don't have the debt evidence.
At all and we've discussed this before at the jury likes to see SC SI tight case.
And diet and the prosecutor mr.
Glasscock he -- in the very beginning instead.
You're not gonna have a CSI -- case but still they want to see something and there were no witnesses that saw -- there are a lot of this is circumstantial.
There towels that are at issue but you know we don't know where the towels are.
So people are gonna have to put this together and really think about whether they like -- Peterson and whether they think you get it I don't know if that's gonna -- the level of beyond reasonable doubt.
Yeah I guess we'll have to say and that trial does continue Kelly -- in camera holder thank you both so much for joining.

A projected donor wall animates the names of the contributors who support the preservation of the Portland Armory and each season of the theater's productions.
On a glass projection surface in the lobby of the Gerding Theater at the Armory donors are recognized through a compelling visual display. The type size, duration, and intensity of the donor names reflect the donation level for each category of giving, and select quotations from contributors punctuate each round of names displayed in the looped poetic projection. Through an intuitive, Web browser-based content management tool, the Portland Center Stage staff can easily update donor information for immediate integration into the dynamic presentation.

Ok, I know all you guys horde away stuff and keep your eyes peeled for cool gaming toys, so I am appealing to you for help. I need some DieCast 1:48 scale modern Humvees for a modern military game. Walmart used to have some a year or so ago under the label "Classic Armor" by New Millenium Toys. The were like $7.00 each. I know there are resin and some pewter ones running around, but they look like crap versus the DieCast metal ones. I am willing to PAY for some of these humvees if you have a few or know where to find them. hell, I may payout a finders fee if someone can dirrect me to where I can order them. I missed afew on Ebay the other week and hate myself for it now, but that's water under the bridge.
Your help would be appreciated.

Cisco Thursday said it will acquire infrastructure management software provider Cloupia, in a move to extend how Cisco automates converged infrastructure resources in the data center.
Cisco will pay about $125 million and what it described as "retention-based incentives" in exchange for all shares of Cloupia, whose employees will join Cisco's data center group. Cisco plans to leverage Cloupia's software especially for its Unified Computing System (UCS) and Nexus switching products, to offer a "single pane of glass" view into how networking, compute, storage, virtual machine and operating system resources are used.
David Yen, senior vice president and general manager for Cisco's Data Center Business Group, said the acquisition was about making infrastructure faster, more flexible and more efficient.
"This strategy involves the delivery of the industry's most comprehensive data center networking portfolio, which includes physical and virtual products that support multiple hypervisors and storage stacks," Yen said in a statement. "The addition of Cloupia's automation software enhances the efficiency of such unified data center infrastructures, helping to accelerate the transition from physical and cloud environments more quickly and effectively."
[Related: 20 Slippery Questions With Cisco CEO John Chambers]
Cloupia, Santa Clara, Calif., was founded in 2009 by a group of veteran data center, virtualization and enterprise systems management executives. CEO Raju Datla is a Cisco alumnus, and a previous company he founded and led, Jahi Networks, was acquired by Cisco in 2004. Cloupia was named to CRN's hot emerging vendors list in 2011.
Cisco expects the acquisition to be completed during the current quarter, the second of its fiscal 2013. On Cisco's first-quarter earnings call earlier this week, Cisco CFO Frank Calderoni said that Cisco's traditionally brisk pace of M&A activity has picked up again and that Cisco will continue to actively acquire. Other significant deals Cisco's made this year were for vCider and ThinkSmart, as well as a $5 billion blockbuster acquisition of NDS Corp.

Insider: Andy Reid wants to coach in 2013, possible candidate with the Cardinals
But as ESPN Insider Adam Schefter reported Sunday, even if Reid is handed a pink slip by the Eagles in the coming days, don't expect him to be on the market long.
[Reid] has been calling around the league, trying to put together a coaching staff, so that if and when he is let go in Philadelphia, he will be ready to resume coaching for another franchise next season.
While most assumed Reid might be a logical replacement for Norv Turner in San Diego, Schefter reports the Chargers will not look be looking in the California native's direction.
One direction the veteran head coach might look in is the Valley and a potential head coaching vacancy with the Arizona Cardinals.
Sports Illustrated's Don Banks suggested the idea earlier in the week, and Schefter reported Sunday that the two parties might be a match.
Although he is not expected to be a candidate with the Chargers, he could wind up as a candidate in Jacksonville if the Jaguars fire Mike Mularkey or in Arizona if the Cardinals part ways with coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Under Reid's guidance, the Eagles have made nine postseason appearances, including a trip to Super Bowl 39 and four NFC Championship games.

It's an early season matchup of 5th Region heavyweights, but it could be a glimpse of a possible postseason meeting based on recent history.
The John Hardin Bulldogs host the Bardstown Tigers at 7:30 tonight in a showdown of region contenders. The teams have met every year since 2007 in the regular season, but the two have also ended up playing in the last three region tournaments, including the 2012 championship.

PC already has standards (OpenGL, Direct3D), but the quality of drivers is not up to par. Making tweaks for games shouldn't be necessary if their software was properly defined and their internals well done, but you know, they also want people to partner with AMD or NVIDIA, not both, so doing nasty things on purpose is also something to take into account.
consoles have the one thing that gamers want that desktops will never have: ease of use. it takes a lot more time and effort to maintain a desktop where a console is automatic. less parts to fail, less to worry about. flick the switch on and you are gaming.
Hopefully the prices won't be as idiotically high as they were till now. Because i wouldn't mind going with GeForce this time around...
Hardly drying up. They're killing in the mobile market with Tegra. A lot of the GPU development information gets fed into that program as well. They're also still performing well in the desktop GPU market. If anything, nVidia is in a much stronger position now than they've ever been in the past.
I think the new consoles will have more in game physics effects with all those cpu cores... So much for Physx Nvidia With Sony and MS both looking for 60fps @ 1080p (well they should be!) and with consoles using similar hardware to PCs (more than before) we should in theory see more better looking ports but how they will play and perform on PC in terms of the quality of the ports remains to be seen. As DX9 was the previous standard for consoles, does anyone know if the next gen console games will be developed using DX10 or DX11 etc? As both new consoles will use Bluray, will this mark the end of DVD games as a format on PC too? (I know there are other factors like digital distribution too).
Yea kinda sucked for xbox and PS3 users to get such hardware failure. I still have my original SNES and N64 while they have had quadruple the game time on them as xbox/PS3 have been released. Factors that came into play with xbox/ps3 was the low heat point LEADFREE solder.
I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about optimizations for multi-core CPUs, DX10/10.1/11/11.1, on every game those partner companies launch. I'm talking about working with other devs in order to implement more features for the PC crowd, to make a PC first and then port it to consoles. I'm talking about GPU accelerated physics and AI and so the list goes on.
you missed the point. and even so, PCs have many many more ways to fail and a lot more software layers to get through.
They only fail when people think they know how to take of a OS better then MS does or fail to follow mfg. directions.
Anyone else find it odd that an Analyst believes they are going to render games at 240 FPS, where current PC games render 30/60FPS? All that with an APU. I don't think this analyst is worth his weight in horse manure.
I render BF3 well above 60fps. Problem is my monitor. If you can get a 240Mhz monitor/TV I could run Quake 3 all day at 240 FPS. I think it all depends on the game and monitor because even current APU's can do that. They are not saying the PS4 will run BF4 at 240 FPS. They are just saying it can run SOMETHING at 240 FPS. FYI Carmack already said next gen consoles are staying at the 30FPS cap in most circumstances so that "analyst" is playing with semantics......or is just a retard.
I think Nvidia will fail soon, their Tegra 4 is garbage and they lost Xbox 720, PS4. I actually do not mind, because they the one who destroyed 3dfx disgusting way...
Tegra is a POS, thank you for playing. Only breakthrough they made there is because of the Nexus 7, and all the OS/software optimizations and tweaks that came with. Well, I remember the rumored pricing on AMD's HD 8800s cards, and the speculation that they would outperform any of the current gen (pre-Titan) single GPUs. And I'm pretty sure a pair of R8870s would demolish the GK110... for what? $560?
Pretty much what I was pointing out. Even high end PCs can't play games from 6 years ago at a solid 240 FPS. (getting pretty damned close though)
You're all forgetting that games written for consoles are done in assembly as much as possible. The one strength of a console is it's uniformity. There's only one possible choice of hardware, so you don't go through drivers and unknowns, but code directly for well-known hardware, shedding some pretty significant overhead and inefficiency. A well-executed APU with shared GPU and CPU cache could be a rather potent tool in the hands of a skilled coder. Having an engine that never fetches GPU instructions and mesh data from RAM, only using it for immediately needed variables for final rendering, and only looking in VRAM for raw texture data would mean it executes an order of magnitude faster than a typical Direct3D title. Add a bit of driverless low-level access to all registers and shaders, and you have a machine that could very well render at 120 FPS constant. 240, I'm not sure about, but I suppose it's doable...
Doesn't matter how optimize the code is if the hardware isn't there to push it. APU's are damn nice but they are still APU's and cannot hold a candle to a current mid-range dedicated GPU. Cannot substitute horsepower with skill.
An editorial! We need more of these please. What gets me is the sleight of hand that nvidia did to increase the price of graphics cards by pitching the mid range chip of the next generation architecture (Kepler) as a top end product (GTX 680) instead of something like GTX 660 where it belongs, simply because it beat the GTX 580. In contrast, the previous generation Fermi GPU in the GTX 580 is a true top end chip. Thus, we've paid top dollar for a mid range card, pushing up the price of the true top GPU to stratospheric levels. And that really sucks for us. If you don't feel resentment towards nvidia for doing this, then you should.
Why? Its called the free market. I remember when people were saying we didn't need AMD or ATI because Intel and NVIDIA would never price gouge due to market demand. Well welcome to the realities of the real world. Market demand is partly driven by competition. This is what happens, and to bash them for it is BS. You would do the SAME THING. I say bring on the $1000 GPU's.
We are not talking about crappy European economy car racing. You can substitute the car with a pickle.
Yes and no. If you mostly buy games on Steam, half of the job has already been done. So in the end, all you need to do is update graphic drivers here and there. www.amd.com and www.nvidia.com. Not exactly a complicated thing to do. You also have to understand that while PC may be more complicated, it's not locked down platform. I can play games that were designed for PC's from 20 years ago on a current modern systems. Or even patch them yourself. For example Need for Speed 3 game released in 1998, i've patched it myself and you can play it on a brand new 2013 PC pretty much without any hassle. You just slam in CD, run my patch that copies the game files and updates them and voila. Try doing that with a PS2 game on a PS3. Or an Xbox game on a X360. Developers don't give a toss even though some of us would buy refreshed games (like we did with Serious Sam HD series). But on PC you at least have community patches like my NFS3 patch and hundreds of others. On consoles you can only stick a finger up your bottom because developers don't care and you have no community.

A final ruling will come next year, but the Supreme Court ruled "the public interest does not favor a stay," according to the report.
Superior Court Judge Mary C. Jacobson ruled last month that same-sex marriages would become legal effective Monday, but Gov. Chris Christie filed an appeal directly to the State Supreme Court and requested a stay. When his request for a stay was initially denied, he appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court.
Christie previously stated he believes the voters of New Jersey should determine the legality of same-sex marriage in the state.
"The Supreme Court has made its determination," Michael Drewniak, Press Secretary to Gov. Christie said in a statement issued Friday afternoon. "While the Governor firmly believes that this determination should be made by all the people of the State of New Jersey, he has instructed the Department of Health to cooperate with all municipalities in effectuating the order of the Superior Court under the applicable law."
"I praise this decision - and I welcome marriage equality to New Jersey starting on Monday. It's yet another win for equal protection under the law," State House Speaker Sheila Oliver said in a prepared statement."It's a shame it took this long to get to this point and that it took a court fight for same-sex couples to gain equal rights. New Jersey could have had marriage equality already if it wasn't for Gov. Christie, who has done everything he could to prevent this from happening, including wasting money and time continuing this court battle."
The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that same-sex couples can receive the rights and benefits heterosexual couples were granted through marriage, but left it up to the state Legislature to determine what it should be called. The Legislature decided on the term civil union.
Six couples filed a request against state officials that led to Jacobson's initial ruling.
