- " Gave this place a really good review last year, but now things have really gone down hill due to lack of maintenance. WIFI is only on ground floor, impossible to get on level 3. Bathrooms have no hand towels or other drying facilities. No slip mat for getting out of the shower ( I see a future lawsuit there). All light bulbs in common room and TV room have blown and not been replaced. One (or possibly two) stove elements still work. And its REALLY time to buy new frying pans!! They are cheap! "

- " The staff were helpful and friendly. The pool was amazing given the heat in Vegas during my stay and the power-boards INSIDE the lockers were a god send. The neighbourhood was not particularly safe, but the hostel was secure. This was easily one of the cheapest hostels that I have stayed in during my time the USA and it had a great atmosphere, especially in the pool courtyard where people tended to congregate. "

- " Good Location if you have a car. Loud Party Hostel (music at the pool was really loud), but what are you expecting at Vegas?! Good place to meet people, though. Kitchen with everything if you wanna cook. Good place to stay for a few nights, but not if you wanna relax. "
- 22 Jun 2013 Nora Germany
- " We walked into the hostel in the middle of the night, no one was there, everyone could have walked in. Furthermore, the place is located in a very bad neighborhood. And the only way we found out was from a pusher we meet on the street! "
- 28 May 2013 Anne Sofie Denmark
- " I booked the hostel online for 19 bucks and when I got there, they said" Nope, it's $25." And the location was pretty bad. Even the taxi driver told me to be careful in that area. And the room was dirty, I even saw a cockroach in my room. "
- 26 May 2013 Anonymous Taiwan
- " Its a huge hostel with a pool. I picked the place because of the pool but there were no travelers when I was there on a Wednesday night. There was only one Asian girl that kept to herself. The nice thing was that I had the entire room to myself (entire hostel) but the bad part is that if I didn't want to meet people I could have gotten an hotel room for ten dollars more. The fact that the hostel is in a shady are off freeemont it didn't help. Parking was good with a gate that locks. "

- " I was one of a few guests (not the best season) and I could easily see that - it was rather dirty. The staff was amazing, facilities were great. Atmosphere - hard to say, it was rather empty. "

Parent involvement
I attended Communication and Media Arts for my freshmen year. It was nothing like I thought it would be. I thought it would have many clubs and extra curricular activities, but it did not have anything! It had a few things. It did not have a chior, or drama club, or dance. It doesnt have a football team or football field! The school is strictly adcademic. It's alright, but it's not my dream school at all!
I have read the numerous reviews and I agree with the parent who was disappointed. However, I am not writing on Facebook, and have no desire to address reviewers personally. My child's teacher was frequently absent and the school did nothing for almost a whole school year to assure my child received a consistent education. In a college prep school, I would expect teacher attendance to be as important as student attendance. Furthermore, it makes no sense why a school can not let parents know of all PTC dates at the beginning of the school year. Parents with demanding careers need to plan for these things in advance. Other schools are able to do this simple task, so why can't CMA?
To the parent who wrote a rather distasteful review... I am a CMA Alumna and although I admit that I had my hardships in high school, I can assure you that Communication and Media Arts HS is not a disappointment. The disciplinary methods of the school is pretty straightforward. If you break the rules, then yes you can expect to be after school for an extra hour. The newsletters are given to the students every week and has everything about that week (or the following week) including half day and parent teacher conferences. The only reason that these times may be 'sprung on' you is because your child may not want you to know when these days are coming. I don't condone that, by the way. Maybe you can talk to your child.
I am truly disappointed in my child's experience at this school. This is truly a case of a school believing its own press, but failing to live up to the reputation. They call this school a college prep school. However, a college prep school should have more classes to choose from. No student can graduate from this school and claim to have received a well- rounded education complete with the arts, sciences and letters. I will admit. The school has discipline under control, so my child feels safe within its walls. However, the disciplinary policy is to give detentions for absolutely everything. This causes students to be deceptive in an effort to avoid them. They do not provide a calendar for the year regarding important events such as parent teacher conferences, days off and half days. I often find these events sprung on me through the reading of a newsletter.
I Love communication media arts high school. i surely didnt appreciate it until i left fr another school. the school is excellene tin its teaching. i went to another school and i've found that i knew more than that students that attened my new school. i miss cma i truely do if i had the chance to go back i would!!!!
The only people who don't like CMA are the people who are lazy and can't handle the work load. So if you want to go to high school to just have fun, then this isn't the school for you. However, if you want to actually received a great education and better your future than CMA is the only way to go.
Cma is an excellent school and every thing I expected it to be. Nurturing, active and the community and much more. It is a privilege and an honor to be a student at cma high
I graduated from cma in 2005 and it is not all that it is cracked up to be. Yes, they r very strict, but @ times to strict.
This high school is a wonderful place if you expect your child to come out of high school safe and fully educated on the university level. My child will be graduating class of 2008 and another class of 2010. I am proud to be a CMA parent, and the staff are great. Ms. Jackson, Mr. Fentin, Ms. Porter, Ms. Neal, Mr. James and Ms. Kalisz are wonderful staff member. The staff at this school really care about the students and give them 99% of their time both during & after school. Being a small school staff are able to notice each and every student by name. 92% of the staff have been there for more than 10 years, by the time your child graduate the same staff will be able to say they taught them. I recommend this school for every child & parent of DPS. Thank you - Signed Happy Parent
Cma is not all that it was made out to be. Cma does offer a wide variety of classes. They offer the basics. It seems that they do not offer any classes having to do with communication or media arts. Teachers do not really care about the students. They do not pay attention to them. Also my child has had complaints about how the teachers are. I do not reccomend cma to anybody! cma students are being cheated out of their education!
i am currently a freshman at cma and one of the most dedicated teachers by far is ms.gillis she has worked with me throughout the school year and has helped me out and cma is a very exellent school i would even say the best in the city of detroit
Teachers are wonderfully dedicated but overworked, often doubling as choir directors and athletic coaches whether they're qualified for these auxillary positions or not. I sauntered out of CMA with a 4.1 GPA (mind you I did not EARN it through any hard work or challenge) and felt, if nothing else, I'd be able to keep up in my choice of higher learning institution. But this school doesn't challenge even the most motivated of students. My AP class was a study-hall. Homework assignments, optional. Grades, negotiable.
This school is an awesome institute for higher education. The students receive one on one attention in their courses from the instructors. After school, there are over 15 activities available for students. In addition to the activities, all teachers are available for one hour to help students in their homework studies. The college related courses offer an opportunity for all students to prepare for their future in college. Most students at this school follow directly to college. About ten percent of students from this school do not go directly to college upon graduating.

NEWPORT–While a lot of the actual pieces have not changed from last season, the 2013-2014 North Country boy's basketball team will have a different feel to it as new coach Ed Duncan Jr. takes over the job from Brian Bonvechio, who stepped down after last season. Duncan, who was at the helm of the Falcon' JV program for the last 2 years, and has coached the game for 16 total years, is ready to face the challenges of head coaching in the Metro Division.
NEWPORT–For the 2013-2014 North Country girl's basketball team, the future is wide open. Only four players are returning to coach Christiane Brown's squad this year, and that means every position is up for grabs. "Who are we... that is a great question," Brown said as our interview got underway. "We are so young and it might be a little too early for me to tell you who we are as we need to grow and develop as team before I can tell you that, but I can tell you that we are a group that is dedicated, very focused, eager to learn and so far, look to be great teammates."
STANSTEAD,QE-Ryan Paul scored three goals, and three other Falcons had a goal each as North Country defeated Alexander Galt in the final game of the Can-Am Classic on Saturday afternoon. Paul had a goal in all three of the periods, while Ross DeLaBruere, Ryan O'Donell and Dawson Cote had the other three Falcon goals. For the full story, see the Express on Monday 12-9-13
STANSTEAD,QE-The North Country boys opened up their 2013-2014 hockey season with a 6-0 win over Greeley High from Cumberland, ME in the second game of the Can-Am Hockey Classic. After a slow start, the Falcons picked up their game late in the first, as Ross DeLaBruere opened up the scoring with 5:18 left to go. In the second, North Country kept improving, and they pumped home another three goals to make it 4-0. Ryan Paul, Ross and Travis Tetreault had the three goals.
JAY-The North Country girls hockey team opened up the 2013-2014 season with a 3-1 win over Stowe on Wednesday night. After a scoreless first period, the Falcons got two goals in the final four minutes of the second, and one in the first minute of the third. Jenna Moss and Savannah Alberghini-Giroux tallied in the second, while Whitney Bernier scored in the third. The Falcons peppered Stowe goalie Danielle Mayo with 52 shots, as apposed to allowing just five shots to reach their goalie Mikaella Doran, For the full story, see the Express on 12-6-13.
JAY-One year removed from coming within a goal of winning the Division II State Championship, the North Country girls hockey team finds themselves in a whole new world. With two years of success after several trying seasons, it was deemed appropriate to move the program to Division I, a division that has seen just two teams become state champions (BFA St. Albans, Essex) since the league's inception.
JAY-The 2013-2014 North Country boys hockey team will be a family affair as the team is loaded with four pairs of siblings. Said captain and older brother Ryan Paul on the familial feel of the team, "It is a really good thing. The team going to be much closer with so many siblings on the team, that is just the way it is." The Falcons are coming off of a very strong 2012-13 season where they finished 15-6-2, and made it into the semi-finals for the second straight year. Under new coach Ryan Jacobs, North Country is looking to make it as far, or further in 2014.
NEWPORT–When UCA announced that they would not be fielding a basketball program for the 2013-2014 season, it left multiple players without a venue to display their love of the game. One athlete in particular was hit especially hard by the news; UCA senior Paul Saaman. The high-flier, whose ariel assaults at the opposition's baskets have been known to leave jaws on the floor, had just endured a rough a soccer season where the team struggled to find a win, and now he was being grounded before he could take off for his final season on the hardwood.
NEWPORT–With numbers dwindling, interest waning and schedules conflicting, the United Christian Academy Crusaders will not be fielding a boy's or girl's basketball team this season. Tony DeLaBruere, who by the end of last season was coaching both teams, expressed his feelings about his former teams not returning in 2013. "It is too bad that they won't be able to put teams out there," DeLaBruere said on Tuesday. "We had a lot of success last year and I really feel for the kids that wanted to play, especially the seniors." For the Full Story, See the Express on Wednesday 11-27-13.
NEWPORT–What started out as a holiday tradition six years ago has now blossomed into two months of fundraising workouts to benefit oncology patients at the North Country Hospital. Local fitness instructor Sharon Stewart has been hosting morning workouts at the Wellness Center on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's day to raise funds for patients that are fighting with cancer, and this year, with help from the hospital and the Wellness Center, she has expanded the workouts to every Sunday in November and December. For the full story, see the Express on Monday 11-18-13.

This ´investigation´ stinks. It looks like someone sent the FBI on an expensive fishing trip, for the purpose of gathering dirt on Petraeus. So what if he has twenty affairs and sixteen mistresses. Someone at the top of the FBI, or higher, wanted something on him, and this is the best they could do. Pathetic.Why resign? There must be something more than sex that went on here. If his resignation was forced, he might still weigh in on Benghazi. If his resignation is proactive, he could just be mad that 0 & Co. were spying on him. One thing, 0bama will not be able to abuse the executive privilege like he did with the F&F investigation. He can hide documents, but Petraeus knows where the bodies are buried.

Plausible theory? The administration knew about this long ago and had the FBI investigate - just in case it would come in handy. Perhaps they offered to the General that they would keep it under wraps only if he kept his knowledge of the Benghazi incident under wraps. Then he resigned rather than going before the committee and lying for them. It´s the first thing that entered my mind when the story of his resignation came out. Click Here if you Like this Comment

We are to believe the info. about Petraeus was reported by the FBI & Justice at 50 PM on Election Day?!!! The timing of this, along with other unanswered questions about Benghazi, points strongly to election tampering in order to influence the outcome of the vote by keeping the public from knowing just how corrupt the 0bama Administration really is until 0bama was re-elected. The devious dems apparently used every trick in the lefties book. 0bama MAY have finagled enough votes to win the count but not the will of the people.Are we learning the hard way that, ´power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely,´ or WHAT?!!!

It is all but certain that Jill Kelley was also having sex with Petraeus. First of all, Broadwell would not have started emailing her if she didn't know for certain that Kelley was sleeping with "her man." And just how does a woman, Jill Kelley, who lives in North Carolina end up working in Tampa as the "social planner?" USCENTCOM in Tampa certainly had a complete staff already in place for the commander, people who like most in those positions working for the military, had been doing that job for years. I seriously doubt Jill Kelley was such a great "social planner" that Petraeus had to have her move from North Carolina to Florida because the current "social planner" wasn't up to the task. And where exactly was Jill Kelley living while she was doing her "social planning" in Tampa? How did she afford two residences on what is surely a meager salary as "social planner" for the Commander-in-Chief USCENTCOM? Furthermore, Petraeus' military execs, aides and valet, of which he had several, both officer and enlisted, certainly knew or strongly suspected he was having these affairs. But, as is always the case with those close to the General, a code of silence overrides everything, and I mean everything, including their duty to the country and national security—I've been there.

Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
(Needs a summary)
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.

If you use ultrasn0w or Gevey SIM to unlock your iPhone, here's the ultimate guide to safely update to iOS 5.1.1 while preserving your baseband using the latest version of redsn0w.
UPDATE: AT&T iPhone 4 and 3GS can now be officially unlocked and many other worldwide network as well.
About a week ago, I posted a tutorial on how to build custom untethered jailbroken iOS 5.1.1 firmware using sn0wbreeze 2.9.5. Since sn0wbreeze is only available for Windows, Mac users might be a little left out. However, with the latest redsn0w that was just released a few days ago, both Windows and Mac users can now build custom iOS 5.1.1. Pwange tool is another program for Mac users to build custom firmware.
You've probably read the following countless times, but if you're new to using locked iPhone, it may be worthwhile to read and understand the points below:
- Custom firmware allows you to restore your iPhone without updating the baseband.
- By preserving the baseband, you can continue unlocking your iPhone; either with ultrasn0w (supported baseband only) or Gevey SIM depending on your iPhone or baseband version.
- There's no known software method to downgrade your baseband, once it's updated, there's no turning back. However, we do offer chips replacement for iPhone 4 or 3G/3GS.
- With redsn0w 0.9.12b1 (Windows or Mac), it can untethered jailbreak iOS 5.1.1.
- If you've downgraded your baseband chip with us, this guide will be useful for you. Under no circumstances you should restore using stock firmware.
Before you begin, always remember to backup your iPhone.
Part One: Building and Installing Custom iOS 5.1.1 Firmware (Baseband Preserved)
1. Download original iOS 5.1.1 firmware (IPSW) for iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS directly from Apple. It's highly recommended that you save it locally for future use.
2. Download redsn0w 0.9.12b1 from the Dev Team's website. It's available for both Windows and Mac.
3. Launch redsn0w.
4. Click Extras > Custom IPSW and locate the original iOS 5.1.1 that you just downloaded in Step 1.
5. Redsn0w will identify the IPSW file:
- If you have an iPhone 3GS, it will ask whether you have a new or old bootrom. Read and choose carefully.
- If you have an iPhone 4, it will start building the custom firmware immediately.
6. Now wait until redsn0w completes the custom iOS 5.1.1 for you. Once the custom iOS 5.1.1 is ready you will find it at the same location where you stored the original firmware you downloaded in Step 1.
7. Before restoring your iPhone, you MUST put your iPhone into pwned DFU mode. This allows it to accept custom firmware. Otherwise, you'll get an error message during restore. Redsn0w can help you do this. To pawn DFU your iPhone:
- In redsn0w > Extras > click Pwned DFU. Follow on screen instructions.
To begin restoring, be sure your iPhone is already in pwned DFU mode (black screen) then launch iTunes, press shift (Windows) or Option (Mac) on your keyboard and click restore. Select the custom firmware that was just created.
To be sure, the file name always begin with NO_BB_iPhonexxxxxxxxxx_Restore.
If you get error 3194, use this guide to fix it. For other iTunes errors, refer to this.
You can also download ready made custom firmware below (hosted on FileFactory, membership required):
- iPhone 4 custom iOS 5.1.1 jailbroken untethered with no baseband update (preserved) [download]
- iPhone 3GS custom iOS 5.1.1 jailbroken untethered with no baseband update (preserved) [download]
Part Two (a): Unlock with ultrasn0w 1.2.7 from Cydia [for supported baseband only]
1. Launch Cydia and add the following source by going to Manage > Sources > Edit > Add:
2. Install ultrasn0w 1.2.7.
3. Reboot your device.
Note: For those using iPhone 3GS with baseband 6.15.00: If you think you've done everything right but still getting 'No Service', run redsn0w > Jailbreak > Install iPad Baseband.
Part Two (b): Unlock with Gevey SIM [for iPhone 4 baseband 02.10.01, 03.10.01 or 04.10.01 only]
1. Eject your SIM tray and reboot your iPhone.
2. Once restarted, unlock your screen. Turn off 3G and cell data (you can turn these on later). Insert your SIM tray along with your SIM card and Gevey SIM.
3. Wait for Accept Screen. Tap Accept.
4. You will see No Service (in iOS 4.x, you will see one signal bar). Wait for 15-20 seconds and dial 112. Hang up after 1-2 seconds.
5. Turn on Airplane Mode and wait for 'NO SIM CARD INSTALLED' message. Turn off Airplane Mode and you will see 'SIM FAILURE' and tap OK. Your iPhone will connect to your network now.
That's it! Your iPhone is now unlocked on iOS 5.1.1 along with untethered jailbreak.

It's because the person you were up against was actually worse than you, which I find hard to believe. That's crazy, haha nice find though man. I had to go back myself and check to make sure you didn't just edit that in there too, but you didn't. I'm fucking dumbfounded that I actually voted for you. Anyways, I still stand by everything I have said thus far, and now I'm really outta this thread, lol.

Very good pub food with a good selection. Portions are good as well. Drinks reasonably priced and there's enough large TVs with the right sports events on for that evening. Friendly and attentive bartender and waitresses.

Have lived in Fl 2 years. Always look forward to eating at Patricks. Food is great and prices are very GOOD. Wish we had one in Ormond Beach. C U next summer.
A full service bar, great draft selection, and some of the best pub food around. Sandwiches, soups, and salads, but with a bit extra. Love the smothered roast beef sandwich - and no matter what, if your meal comes with a side, GET THE MAC AND CHEESE. They also have a nice outdoor seating area.
I've lived here since before Patrick's opened, and had the opportunity to stop in for a quick meal just recently. Being a D'Atri Family property, I thought the meal would be good, but this meal was great! You can't miss if you go to either of their properties in, and around, Cumberland. Enjoy!
I went to Patricks as part of a group of 16. Good thing we had a reservation, because the place was packed. The menu has several sandwiches and salads. I had the Chicken with Walnut Salad. It is generally served at Atriks with a Sweet and Sour dressing. However, I substituted Raspberry Vinigrette. I was pleased with the taste of... More
Patrick's is a great place in Cumberland, Maryland. We really enjoy the atmosphere and the food. Their wings are very good. Try the Old Bay! Their Knife and Fork Steak is so good! The Restaurant itself is small and seating is an issue at times.
I've never eaten here, well I might have had a bite of someone's something but I go here for one reason. To watch football on Sundays and drink. It's perfect for that. They show every game and there's a fan for every team and it gets busy. The food is typical bar stuff. The service is pretty good considering how... More
Went to Patricks Pub on a Sunday evening to catch some football. I saw they had some awards hanging on the wall for their wings. I ordered the Old Bay wings and was really disappointed. They were so dry and salty they were inedible. I don't mind crunchy Old Bay wings, but these were overcooked and terrible. The Chicken Tenders... More
Good beer selection and very large sandwich-based menu. Had the crab dip as an appetizer, it shouldn't be missed. All the other people at our table had sandwiches, which they all liked a lot. I had fish and chips, but the chips were zucchini strips. The zucchini was great, but he fish was just average. Stick with the sandwiches, that... More
The barbcue pork was awful def. not homemade they have to buy it from somewhere. ( I dont care what they say) the mac and cheese isn't homemade either, It tastes like stouffers or kraft spiral with a slice of cheese on top. the Ice tea was sour and the cobb salad wasn't a cobb salad at all. The burger... More

Social Reform Kitchen & Bar (fka The Caucus Room)
Online Reservations
Trio of Risotto was delicious. Took a bit too long to have our drink/dinner order taken though.
Burgers here are AWESOME! Great selection and great taste ! Yummm.
We went for a pre-Hockey game meal and enjoyed the food; this has gone from a high-end steakhouse to a place for good, reasonably priced appetizes, salads, burgers and beers. The service was a bit scattered (particularly since we were one of only four tables in the restaurant.
This was a great oasis from the 7th St and E St NW eateries in WDC. It's just a block away but the difference is enormous. We'll be back - the food was very good; nice drinks menu - fun but not too complicated. Service was overall prompt, but one server was helpful with food and drinks tips, and another ("we work as a team") was not. A response such as "All the beers / wines / appretizers / desserts are good" is not enlightening or engaging.
I had lunch there once many years ago but had not been back after the name had changed. But, we really enjoyed it. Food was wonderful and service was very good. I would go back again.
Nice place to get a bite to eat prior to a show at Fords theatre. Offered discount on parking which was an added bonus. Nutty Irishman for after dinner drink is fabulous!
We were a little late arriving for our dinner reservation and had to be at a show in an hour. Our waiter understood our predicament and did his best to get us served quickly. Food was fantastic. We had a few drinks with dinner so our bill was rather expensive. But it is always a treat to come here.
We had lunch at Social Reform before a Matinee at Ford's theater. They had a good business crowd and service was very accommodating. We had the burgers - big, juicy, quality meat, and messy! I had to ask for an extra napkin. That is a good thing when you eat burgers. It was nice to have the salad substitute rather than potatoes. It was more than we could eat, so we did not have dessert.
Service was great at first, had a blip of 45 minutes where we were ignored, and then he came back and all was good. There weren't a whole lot of people there for a Saturday night, so I don't know why he was so scarce for a while. Regardless, food was wonderful and the beer selection is pretty darn good.
Our party of 6 had wide and varied requirements that the new menu satisfied. From salads to sandwiches to meals to desserts, all enjoyed their food choices. The dessert sampler of sorbets & gelatos was excellent! The service provided by Cooper was great as well as relaxed and fun. The staff even went out on the street to hail a cab for one of our party and did not give up until a cab stopped. Everyone enjoyed the evening very much! I will go back!
Staff was great. Bartender makes a great Old-fashioned, which I hold as a barometer for a bar program... Burger was delicious. Bar crowd is non-existent after happy hour, definitely better to visit Mon-Thurs if you're feeling social...
While visiting DC we had dinner before attending a musical at the Ford Theater. The proximity was one of the reasons we chose The Caucus Room. Great service, and wonderful ambience, although my steak was over cooked it was still edible and my guests loved their dinners. When in DC again I would definitely go back again.
We came to Social Reform on March 19 because it was on the "recommended" list for Ford's Theater. We have been back three times since. It is a great location; easy to get a reservation, good service, good food -- and a great bar. My husband is especially impressed with the martinis. My only complaint is that is difficult to remember the name of the restaurant. I keep going back to the Ford's Theater website to find the link.
Excellent atmosphere for a lovely lunch. Excellent food and there is something for everyone. Good for taking guests.
I planned this for a work dinner. They were very accommodating as I had to alter the reservation a few times and once we arrived were very attentive. We had our own room, took our time and they were great. I felt bad that the place was pretty dead but we really enjoyed it. The food was delicious as well. I had the scallops which were cooked perfectly.
One of the best meals I've had in DC in quite sometime, however, the ambiance needs to be revisited.
We all really enjoyed our dinning experience. The wait staff was helpful and very informative. Food was timed perfectly. Everything was excellent considering we made reservations only 20mins before arrival. Highly recommended to visit Social reform Kitchen (aka Caucus room).
We visited prior to a show at the Shakespeare Theatre Company, and the entire staff was so lovely and accommodating. We were also celebrating an anniversary, and everyone was lovely - the dessert they brought was spectacular and made our evening so special! Excellent oysters, knowledgeable staff, great wine list, made for a great night. We will be sure to return!
This place is always a great choice for lunch. Its dining area is seperated by "rooms" which gives it a cozy feel and lets you get that quiet type place where you can actually have a nice business lunch and hear all your guests. The menu has a wide variety of options, so it's sure to please everyone. I love their burgers, but my favorite has always been the various salads with steak which has been cooked just right. The service is also great and paced well, so you don't feel rushed. I have taken several guests there and it's always my go to place.
This is a wonderful venue for a group lunch. Great food and drink. A little lively with clientele, yet quiet so you can discuss business as needed.
Good food, good service, a calm and inviting place
was formally the Caucus Room (which moved to G'town). Very American-style menu. Braised ribs, seared scallops, crab cakes, a pasta, and mussels. The specialty of the house is steaks. I had a NY Strip which was cooked to perfection. the garlic green beans were fresh and had a nice snap. Also tried the short rib, which was tender but a little dry. Also tried the scallops which were perfectly cooked as well and had a dcent black rice on them. good portion of rice. Service was friendly and the MGR was fast to assist. Would eat there again, perhaps lunch. If you're in the Chinatown area, try it, bc it isn't a tourist place
I took a young person to celebrate her 22nd birthday. She was so very impressed with the restaurant and all that it offered. Our meal (the braised ribs) were delicious. They melted in our mouths. Fantastic selection. The service was very attentive. They made the birthday girl feel very special and I was most appreciated (which was reflected in my generous gratuity). I highly recommend this restarurant for great food and especially for special occasions. Thank you!
We had a group of eight and were able to be seated in one of the back dining areas where is was quite enough for us to hear each other talk and celebrate an anniversary. Great wine selection and the food was outstanding as always.

U.S. and Chinese shipper groups are urging their respective regulators to block the proposed P3 Network, arguing the top three global container lines will reduce competition by controlling too much capacity on major trade lanes.
International Transportation Regulations
03 Dec 2013
India's port regulator Tariff Authority for Major Ports has again deferred its decision on a proposal to increase service rates at the Port of Jawaharlal Nehru until Dec. 31, citing "continuing delays" in procedural requirements that are to be complied with by the port authority.
03 Dec 2013
Federal Maritime Commissioner Richard Lidinsky said the agency will soon stop the clock on its review of the proposed P3 Network, giving him and fellow commissioners enough time to meet with European Union and Chinese regulators on Dec. 17 before determining whether to block the plan.

Seniors of all ages and physical situations can benefit from regular strength training. Fran, 69, of Charlotte, NC, literally stumbled into the benefits of strength training. Years ago, she tripped over a bedspread and twisted her knee badly enough to need a doctor's care. During rehab, she was given a set of weight-based exercises to help strengthen her leg muscles and speed her recovery. Fran has always been active, but she noticed a distinct improvement after following the new regimen.
As Fran experienced, strength training can boost your health in many ways. Some examples include:
A strength-training routine should include the major muscles in your body. These muscles are found in your arms, legs, chest, back, and abdomen. You may think that your daily activities are enough to work these muscle groups, but a strength-training routine is designed to target certain muscles and push them to become stronger. Here are some examples of exercises to build certain muscles:
Take the following steps before beginning a strength training program:
Once you are ready to exercise, keep these basic principles in mind:

Cash is King: Revaluation of Targets after Merger BidsUlrike MalmendierUniversity of California, Berkeley - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR); Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Marcus M. OppUniversity of California, Berkeley - Finance Group Farzad SaidiNew York University (NYU) June 29, 2012 Abstract: We provide evidence that a significant fraction of the returns to merger announcements reflects target revaluation rather than the causal effect of the merger. In a sample of unsuccessful merger bids from 1980 to 2008, we find that targets of cash offers are revalued by 15% after deal failure, which is a sizeable portion of the average announcement effect of 25%. In contrast, stock targets revert to their pre-announcement levels. These results hold for deals where failure is exogenous to the target's stand-alone value. We show that the differential revaluation of cash and stock targets is not explained by differences in future takeover activity. We also find that the values of cash bidders revert to pre-announcement levels, while stock bidders fall below. Our revaluation estimates imply economically large mismeasurement when using naive announcement-based estimates of the causal effect of mergers.

Today's blog comes from Candace Weir, Central Library staff:
Sometimes a material gets invented that makes it easy and fun to get creative. Polymer clay builds on our kindergarten experience with Plasticine, only there are many more colours and possibilities. The creation gets baked into something permanent. Results can be breathtaking.
As art materials go, it is relatively safe and certainly easy to use and the tools are inexpensive. The material is extremely versatile. It can be used to create stunning jewelry or make decorative objects for your home – anything from sculptures to vases. I recently saw an exquisite little cane-work bowl in the Rubiyat, a shop that specializes in fine handicraft.
We have more than 60 titles in the collection to help you master the craft and inspire new projects. You can learn techniques from books like Polymer Clay 101 by Angela Mabray. Have a look at Amazing Clay Flowers to learn how to make realistic blossoms of incredible delicacy and grace.
A recent article in American Craft (October/November, p. 54 – 61) reveals "How Polymer Hit the Big Time". It shows the art of Elise Winters, who has worked to establish respect for the art form and the first permanent museum collection of polymer art at the Racine Art Museum in Wisconsin.
Winters creates large luscious jewelry that coils about the wrist and neck in vibrant waves. Works by other artists shown here include an ash credenza with a mosaic-like decoration in polymer clay applied to the surface.
To see more work by the pros, check out the online polymer art archive. Or gaze and drool at the lovely handiwork of Kathleen Dustin.

African American Catholics honor pioneers at St. Odilia
"All saints and souls is not a general term," Josephite Father Roger Caesar, pastor of St. Brigid Church, told the assembly during the mid-morning First Annual Black Catholic Memorial Mass.
"The faithful departed have a name," he continued, "so we lift up the names of those who were committed to the African American community who struggled with injustices due to their color and race. By Christ's baptism we are all united whether dead or alive and this --- the month of All Saints --- is not only a good time for a memorial, but it is also a good place, St. Odilia, assigned by the archdiocese for the evangelization of the African American community."
Acknowledging the growth of the Black Catholic community in Los Angeles (most of them had arrived from Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma by the end of the 19th century), Archbishop John Cantwell in 1927 named St. Odilia as the "Negro National Church," assigning its pastoral care to the Society of African Mission priests, who led the parish for the next 60 years.
St. Odilia was also the mother church for a second wave of African Americans who moved to Los Angeles during World War II to work in the defense industry. As they settled in different areas of South and Central L.A., other parishes started welcoming African Americans, reflecting their presence with lively music and preaching.
St. Odilia was also the home of the first unit of the Knights of St. Peter Claver, a national fraternal organization with mostly Black Catholic membership.
Father Caesar urged the assembly to keep building on the legacy of "faith and open love" of the honorees.
Concerns about vocations among African Americans were also addressed by St. Odilia's pastor, Franciscan Friar of the Atonement Father Francis Eldridge.
"We need to work on vocations," he told the assembly, "so encourage your children and grandchildren to really think about serving Christ in the Church."
Parishioners also learned about a three-year grant recently won by the archdiocesan African American Center for Evangelization, to be used for education and formation of Catholic African American youth.
For more information about the African American Catholic Center for Evangelization, call (323) 777-2106 or visit www.aaccfe.com.

Bionics in Rehabilitation
Recently, I had the opportunity to learn about several different technological enhancements for amputees and paraplegics. These devices seek to replace the functionality lost from catastrophic injury.
At the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), Todd Kuiken, MD, PhD, has been developing a bionic arm that has been featured in multiple science and technology magazines. The first patient to receive a bionic arm was a man who had both arms amputated because of an electrocution. At the Center for Bionic Medicine (CBM) at RIC, Dr. Kuiken pioneered the muscle reinnervation procedure which takes an amputee's own nerves and connects them to healthy muscle. The "Bionic Arm," or myoelectric arm, is operated through electrical signals from nerves transplanted from the affected limb into the pectoralis muscle of the amputated arm. The user activates the arms through a learned conditioning using his own thought-generated nerve impulses. These impulses are sensed, via surface electrodes, from the pectoral muscle and carried through to the mechanical arm, causing the arm to move.
The second bionic limb that I have seen is one that replaces the hand and fingers for people who have had their hands severed. ProDigits has developed several different devices that serve to replace lost fingers. These fingers can be powered by two types of control systems: myoelectric sensors that register muscle signals from the patient's remaining finger or palm, or a pressure sensitive switch input (touch pad) that responds to the tissue surrounding the metacarpal bone to provide enough pressure to activate the digit. There are different built in features that sense the grasping around objects so that the fingers do not crush the object. This is part of the stall feature, which detects when digits close around an object, so users form different grip patterns. The particular person that I observed had his fingers severed on both hands and therefore lost all of his grasping function. Using the fingers, he was able to feed himself for the first time.
The third device was an exoskeleton known as eLEGS produced by Berkeley Bionics. eLEGS is a wearable, artificially intelligent, bionic device that enables people with paralysis to stand up and walk again. The exoskeleton is battery-powered and rechargeable, fitting comfortably and securely over your clothing. I observed one of their female test subjects, who has been paraplegic for almost two decades following a skiing accident, walk using the exoskeleton device. She wrapped herself into the exoskeleton and was able to balance herself and walk. The pace and control of walking could be enabled by devices that looked like ski poles/walking sticks that had an electronic connection to the exoskeleton.
Demonstration of eLEGS device.
Each of these devices are currently in the development and testing phases for use by injured people, and share similar features, including durability, self-contained power and specifically targeted functional replacement. Eventually, the hope is that they will return functionality to people who would have required additional support from caregivers or others. Currently, these devices are expensive. As the technology improves and the cost per unit decreases, they are likely to become more available to amputees and spinal cord injured patients.
The interesting thing for rehabilitation centers will be how these devices become part of the rehabilitation process. As an injured person is learning new routines for doing everything from feeding and combing their hair to walking, they go through a retraining process to compensate for the lost function from their injury. As these devices continue to evolve, they will likely become an early part of the rehabilitation process. I expect that over the next few years we will begin to see these devices incorporated into selected patients internationally. Within the next decade, we are likely to see some of the technologies more widely available.

In the testimony, economists said that the bill, HB 2800, would help
sway school foodservice directors to purchase more items locally. "The
catalytic effect of trade substitutions [found after the bill is
enacted] could provide a healthy return on investment," according to
information in a press release. "Advocates of HB 2800 predict $100+
million in economic development during the biennium and creation of as
many as 477 new jobs in the state of Oregon."
HB 2800 would
provide grant money for food and garden-based education. School
foodservice departments would also receive money-15 cents for every
lunch served and 7 cents for every breakfast served-to purchase
Oregon-grown products.
For more information about the bill, visit ecotrust.org/farmtoschool.
