Anti-Catholic insults rife in 'A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas'----lesbian nuns, topless angels, playboy Jesus all add insult to injury

I'm not one to scream anti-Catholic too often but the new movie "A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas" screams insult at every turn.
It is unfortunately on your screens now.
Worse, the main actor Kal Penn, who plays a stoner, is a former senior official in the Obama administration -- I kid you not. Penn was associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.
The plot includes lesbian nuns, abusive priests, topless angels, and a Playboy version of Jesus.
I'm game for a laugh as much as the next guy, but the offense to Catholic sensibilities, especially at this time of year is gratuitous and demeaning
The plot also involves an attempt to have sex with a teenage virgin named Mary, so no prizes for guessing who is the target here as well.
Of course, nothing is sacred to Hollywood types when it comes to anti-Catholic movies.
However, great care is always taken to ensure that other religions, such as Judaism or Islam are never portrayed in any offensive way in films
Why are Catholics the last great group that can be mercilessly mocked?
As I say I am not going to see anti-Catholicism under every Hollywood tree but this latest insult is certainly par for the course.
One wonders what image of our religion will young persons come away with after seeing this trailer trash.
Let's hope, like diarrhea, it passes quickly.

Catholics are treated this way, because they fight against Abortion.

Reading Cahir's blog about Pope Benedict telling Africans that they must not use condoms but practice 'ethical' abstinence instead, I am amazed that anyone can consider ME anti-life! Cahir writes, "In May 2005 Pope Benedict made his first public pronouncement on AIDS, insisting that condoms never be used to fight it. At the time he was addressing the bishops of South Africa, where somebody dies of AIDS every two minutes." No contraceptives-- not even to save millions of lives, including the lives of many who have never been promiscuous or adulterous? That's "ethics" and condoms are "anti-life"? No, that's death-driven misanthropy, and using condoms shows that we care for each other, that we will have children only when we can care for them properly so that they can grow in decent circumstances and learn to care for each other as well.

Gearoid4 writes, "Contraception has induced an anti-life mentality which is often backed up by abortion as an insurance measure if it fails." Contraception is not a slippery slope to abortion but the most effective opponent of abortion. According to Germain Grisez's 1966 report to Crd. Ottaviani, the morality of contraception was accepted by a "solid majority of the cardinals and bishops," as well as "a substantial majority of the theological section" and "the vast majority of non-theological experts" who replied to the pope's request for help in addressing questions raised by new contraceptives. And by recent estimate, 90% of Catholic couples have practiced contraception at some point in marriage. The sensus fidelium apparently holds, along with Protestant and other moral thinkers, that human beings must take responsibility for our reproductive capacities. Indeed, I would say that rejecting such responsibility violates common sense about moral behavior in marriage. If contraception is wrong because it comprises an incorrect understanding of marriage (as a union of two who produce new life), then marriage itself is wrong in the face of serious over-population, global economic failures that consign millions of children to poverty, and inadequate resources for supporting further population increase. If RC's reason for continuing to oppose it is simply to avoid rupture with its tradition of magisterial teaching, the pope might review the fate of some of his predecessors' teachings about the duties of slaves to obey their masters, to cite just one example.

Yeah, the Catholic Church has wandered so far away from the Christian message, that they are lobbying against the "right" for women to destroy the life inside them,i.e abortion, euphemistically called "the right to chose" or "reproductive health". It is not so healthy for the child and when has campaigning against this evil been far away from the Christian message? Contraception has induced an anti-life mentality which is often backed up by abortion as an insurance measure if it fails. The Church currently is correctly campaigning against the denial by the HHS of insidious restrictions on Her social care/health agencies to offer policies that go directly against Catholic core beliefs.
As for the film in question, it is beneath contempt and really does not need any extra comment. Just a lazy, cynical attack on easy targets that the director knows will not issue edicts or fatwas against him. Sensationalist, unfunny drivel dressed up as supposed satire against religion.

I can't see anything specifically Catholic about Jesus, Mary, the angels or even nuns. Where did you get that from, Patrick?

It's amazing that someone below complains about a culture of death in secular society OUTSIDE the Catholic Church! The cure for that blindness is to open a history book and read up on wars and inquisitions waged by this death-wielding military power throughout the ages. I thank Patrick Roberts for saving me the money I might have spent on a film that's only a series of cheap shots. Satire is difficult, and many attempts fall short and end up just lampooning their target. However, it's not difficult to understand why film and other media would lampoon the RC these days. It's all too easy to see how far RC has wandered from the Christian message. Today the American RC bishops are waging holy war against preventive health services for women and thus against the independence of women. If they were to succeed, the number of abortions here would take a quantum leap because many women in need would not have contraceptives. And many who can't abort (no insurance coverage) would be forced into poverty, them and the children they have. It's a sick, self-serving war against women as moral agents capable of taking responsibility for themselves and their families. I won't bother to see the film, but I hope it does well at the box office.

So disgusting. But, after all it is a culture clash. Sex is a consumer good in western culure. Within Catholicism life is sacred and orgasms don't justify deaths. People want sex without responsibility, cultural shifts that see death by the tens of millions. It really is a culture of death and it hates the church for pointing it out.

Good article Patrick. Here's something to consider,
the highest grossing movies of all time are the Harry Potter and James Cameron flicks. Look at who was involved with these movies, their names and those
who financed them. I submit to whomever that you can
see who was involved with the movie (and I'm not giving free publicity to these lowlifes, that is being
referred to in this article. I detest anyone who is
anti semetic but it's amazing how these so called
"enlightens" can be so anti-catholic and very few raise an eyebrow. One final comment, patrick harris
lost a one fan with this piece of garbage.

Hi, @Collette2. Allow me to state, as I have elsewhere, I am not Roman Catholic. I do not paint all Roman Catholic priests, bishops, or nuns with the same black brush. I try to recognize what is wrong with all churches professing faith in Jesus Christ and at the same time recognize what is right in each Church. How would society be better with no Church? --look at Muslim and Communist countries, for example. Best.

If the movie is focusing on Catholisism's shortcomings to promote humor, the movie makers are scrapping the bottom of the barrel. By focusing on the downside many will miss the profound impact that religion can and does have on people. We hope one day soon that the good will begin to eclipse the absense of good in all the Christian churches.

About Barefoot Ken Bob Saxton

No low performers in this week's Kitchen Cops report. But there are two high performers.
Big D's Garage on South College Road in Wilmington just opened last month. It lost half a point because workers who prepare, handle and serve food must wear an effective hair restraint. But it's good enough for a 99.5 and Big D's first high performance honor.
Out to Porters Neck and Jersey Mike's on Market Street. Some cabinets need to be repainted and resealed. A half-point violation and a score of 99.5.

Yes it is a nice story. It summarizes the shortcomings of the DeSoto County Schools nicely.
We don't want Memphis students in our school system. Unless of course they can contribute to our sports programs. In that case, we'll bend or break the rules to achieve the desired results.
We can't fund science programs or other academic extra-curricular activities. But we have nearly $1 million for astroturf. The same way we can build a band hall if the son the School Board President is the band director at the school in question.

Miriam Margolyes on Mornings
28/03/2012 , 5:43 PM by Bryce Green
It's not often we have an actor of the calibre of Miriam Margolyes in the Mornings studio.
Name a big film and Miriam will nod sagely and say, "I was in it" or name a famous production and she'll probably admit to having done that too. If you name a famous voice she might yawn and say, "That was me."
Miriam is one of the greatest and most versatile actors in the world and has become famous to a whole new generation of film-lovers as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter movies.
She's back touring Australia with her production of 'Dickens' Women' and dropped in for a chat with Geoff this morning.

Being a Columbus Blue Jackets fan is not easy. It doesn't come with the same built in guarantees that being a Buckeye fan comes with.
There isn't always someone in your office you can talk hockey with. There is no promise your favorite watering hole with have the Blue Jackets game on any of their big screen TVs. And there will be nights hockey gets pushed to the tail-end of or even completely out of local sportscasts.
This is not college sports, this is the National Hockey League in Columbus, Ohio.
Granted, Ohio State's tradition is generations old. The Buckeyes have won championships in virtually all of their 36 varsity sports. The athletes in the Scarlet and Grey have earned their following to be sure.
But every once in awhile, someone else gets a spot at the table.
This week the Blue Jackets get that distinction.
The Jackets have won 5 straight games. They haven't lost a game in regulation since February 24th.
Monday, their starting goaltender, Sergei Bobrovsky was named the NHL's number one star of the week for his stellar play between the pipes.
The Jackets elevated themselves from the league's basement to within 4 points of a playoff berth.
The NHL's own website moved the Blue Jackets into the power rankings for the first time all season
But more importantly, people started talking about the team in ways and places usually reserved for the Buckeyes.
Ohio State's basketball team has won five and a row and is headed for the Big Ten Tournament as the number two seed. Yet, the first question I got when I arrived at the gym this morning was; "What's happening with the Jackets?"
Two more questions followed quickly from two different people.
"Where'd they get this goalie from?"
And, my favorite question of the day, "Who lit a fire under the ice hockey?" Pretty sure that gentleman wasn't sure of the name of the city's only major professional sports franchise.
Doesn't matter. He was talking about them. The whole city was talking about them Monday morning right there at the starting line to March Madness.
At Polaris Fashion Place, a salesperson in the men's department asked me about the team success. He knew Bobrovsky had been playing better but not much beyond that.
Doesn't matter. He was talking about Sergei Bobrovsky not Aaron Craft.
Down the corridor of the mall, I was so shocked by this scene outside The Buckeye Room that I had to take a picture of it.
The sad part is, it actually looked like this when I walked up.
I had to move the Blackhawks shirt.
What's gotten into this town?
Doesn't matter. What does matter is the Blue Jackets know that winning is the final piece of the puzzle.
Columbus sports fans want a winner. They demand a winner. Indeed after decades of Ohio State dominance in the 'Shoe, they expect the team they support to win and win big.
The Blue Jackets modest winning streak is not enough to change the sports culture of an entire city or state but it is enough to begin to change the culture within the organization.
It has to begin with commitment of ownership to build a winner. It needs to continue throughout the coaching staff and filter directly to the players that the only way they will get people to pay attention to them in this town is to win consistantly.
Not just an occasional win over the Sharks or a shoot-out loss to the Blackhawks.
They need to beat up on rival Detroit for an entire season. (They can check that one off now)
They need to win a playoff series.
They need to develop and retain star players who are committed to the cause.
But most of all they need to win.
I hope they get that 6th straight win and many more wins before the season is out.
Maybe then the guy in the gym can learn the name of the team that's had a fire lit beneath it,

Arugula, Pear and Goat Cheese Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette
Author Notes: Sweet, salty, tart, crunchy and spicy, this salad has perfect flavor and texture balance. The inspiration was pomegranate molasses, which I learned about when I worked on a Persian food class. I like how the molasses takes the acidic edge off the vinaigrette but it is still tangy and delicious.
- brigidc
Food52 Review: Although this salad has lots of different ingredients, it's somehow not overly busy or complicated. We love how the fragrance and sweetness of the pomegranate molasses mollify the tartness of the sherry vinegar in the dressing, and how the shallots lightly pickle in the vinaigrette as you make the rest of the salad. Mellow pears, salty goat cheese, crunchy pomegranate seeds and toasted pistachios ensure that every bite contains a great mix of flavors and textures. Brigidc has carefully mapped out every step, and the result is a balanced autumn salad that can stand alone or work as part of a meal. - A&M - A&M
Serves 6
- 1 large shallot, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
- 2 tablespoons sherry or apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepepr
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
For the salad
- 4 cups arugula, lightly packed
- 4 cups romaine, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 ripe pears, cored and cut into 1/2" cubes
- 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
- 3 ounces fresh goat cheese or feta, crumbled
- 1/4 cup pistachios, toasted and coarsely chopped
- In a small bowl combine the shallot, pomegranate molasses, vinegar, salt and pepper and whisk until the salt is dissolved.
- Whisk in the olive oil and let vinaigrette stand at room temperature until salad is assembled.
- Combine the arugula, romaine, pears and half of the pomegranate seeds in a large bowl.
- Crumble half of the goat cheese over the ingredients in the bowl (this works best if the cheese is very cold).
- Whisk the vinaigrette until uniform and add all but 2 tablespoons of it to the bowl.
- Gently toss the salad with your hands or salad tongs, coating the ingredients well with the vinaigrette. If the salad seems dry, add the vinaigrette in small increments until it is dressed to your liking.
- Crumble the remaining cheese over the salad and sprinkle the remaining pomegranate seeds and the pistachios over the top. Serve immediately.

I had a wonderful salad the other night at Nieto's restaurant in the suburbs of Chicago, made with citrus, arugula, hazelnuts and a raspberry vinaigrette, which I don't like. Another salad had a pomegranate molasses vinaigrette I thought would work and they kindly substituted it for me. Tonight I made a salad of red-tinged Boston lettuce and thin slices of black plums, toasted hazelnuts and this version of pomegranate molasses vinaigrette. Oh, so yumm. It's going into regular rotation here - thank you so much for sharing it. And come the fall, we will do the pear salad as written.

I know that this is a contest winner and that pretty much every comment raves about it, but my boyfriend and I did not like it at all. We tried the pom molasses before making the dressing and were already not excited about the taste, but we pressed on because of the rave reviews. If you don't like pomegranate molasses you will not like this recipe. It tasted too syrupy sweet, almost like cough syrup. Maybe it was just a bad molasses that we used, because the whole thing sounds great. Sorry to be the one negative review in the bunch.

Gosh, I am at a loss. Where do you find pomegranate seeds. Do I need to buy a fresh pomegranate or can you buy a jar of the seeds? I have never used one before and so not sure what to do. If I need a fresh one for the seeds, then what do I do with the rest of the fruit? Thanks for your help.
9 months ago brigidc
pomegranates are probably out of season by now--they usually start around November and you'll see them in stores until around the end of January. Some places sell the seeds in the refrigerated section of the produce dept.--like where you find all the cut-up fruit--in little clear plastic clamshell containers. I live in Idaho, and I've never seen the seeds-only product in my grocery store, but a whole pomegranate is a wonderful thing! Kind of messy, but once you break it open and take the seeds out, you'll find lots of uses for them, especially just eating as a pick-me-up snack.

A friend of mine made this recently, and I was so impressed! The dressing itself is fabulous. He omitted the pistachios, but I think it could be just as wonderful with toasted hazelnuts or walnuts -- definitely adding this to my go-to list for salads.

Amazing recipe -- I've made it at least 4 times now. It's always the hit dish at a dinner party. Whole Foods sells pomegranate molasses -- it's a unique item, but really makes the dressing delicious.

I made this salad last night for a dinner party and it was FANTASTIC!!! I love, love, love the dressing. And I totally agree with other commenters that it is a beautiful looking salad. My pears weren't ripe, so I substituted 1 green apple, and I only used arugula. Thank you so much for a great recipe!

Made this for Thanksgiving and it was a HUGE hit, not to mention easy to make and gorgeous on the table. I will definitely make this a go-to salad for special occasions and parties. Thanks!
about 1 year ago rlouisecull
This salad is beautiful and delicious! I followed the course of other commenters when I couldn't find pomegranate molasses and just reduced pomegranate juice. I'm definitely adding this recipe to my quiver for when I'm asked to bring the salad to a party.

Such a great combination of tastes and textures - the pistachios are definitely worth the time and effort. Delicious - thank you!

Tried reducing 4 tbsp to 1 like foodiebiztraveler suggested and probably let it go too long (got 1/2 a tbsp). Added some more unreduced juice and the salad was really delicious. Perfect mix of bright fruit flavors and savory dressing.

Delicious salad! I bought what looked like an old pomegranate thinking I might be disappointed but it was perfectly ripe and the seeds tender. I used a mix of super greens and romaine and it was so good I made it again a couple of days later!

Served this as a much needed greenery on the Thanksgiving table. It was a huge hit. Couldn't locate pomegranate molasses, reduced down regular pomegranate juice--tangy and delicious! I've made the dressing on multiple occasions since they shallots basically pickle in the pom. reduction, and who doesn't love a pickled onion in any form?
almost 2 years ago foodiebiztraveler
Anyone have a time-saving tip for the roasted, chopped pistachios? I de-shelled them, chopped them and then roasted in a dry sauté pan...a LOT of work for a garnish, albeit tasty. Can one BUY chopped, roasted pistachios? Do they NEED to be roasted?
This salad IS delicious - probably the best I've ever made - but SO MUCH WORK!

can anyone tell me where to find the pom molasses recipe? thanks

I bought a bottle of POM 100% pomegranate juice. I measured about 4 Tbsp. of the juice from the bottle and reduced in a saucepan to 1 Tbsp. of "pomegranate reduction"/molasses and used that in the dressing. Delicious!

There's not much time before this Sunday's Academy Awards show, but if you still haven't caught up on all the best picture nominees we've got you covered.
The first thing you need to know is that they are long: "Django Unchained" has a whopping 2-hour and 45-minute run time while "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Les Miserables" both clock in at exactly 2 hours and 37 minutes.
And not only might you need to settle in and get comfy to watch this year's nominees ( "Everybody's got a numb bum," joked "Les Miz" co-star Eddie Redmayne about one of the possible side effects for viewers of her film) there is more than meets the eye when it comes to these movies.
To prep you for Sunday's big event, we've compiled some fun facts, conversation starters and, yes, even some break tips for this year's Best Picture nominees.
Run time: 2 hours, 20 minutes. Best time to go to the bathroom? The houseguests' dinner party.
Roommates: To create the sense of claustrophobia that the houseguests have while hiding at the Canadian ambassador's house, director Ben Affleck had the six "Argo" actors actually live together, with no Internet and no air conditioning.
"I totally did not want to do it," Tate Donovan said. "I was like, 'Who wants to spend six days with a bunch of young idiots? Method actors?' And we ended up falling in love with each other. Don't tell anyone, but we had the best time."
One other live-in situation preceded this one, however: Donovan used to be post-college roommates with his best friend, "Argo" producer Grant Heslov.
"He basically forced Ben Affleck to cast me (as Bob Anders)," Donovan said. "He did. Swear to God. Totally true."
The way Heslov tells it, he told Affleck, "My buddy Tate is perfect for this role. Ben was like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever,' and I wore him down."
Afterwards, Affleck was happy Heslov did. "He said, 'Thank God I did (cast you),'" Donovan laughed.
Science Fiction Land: The fake movie they pretend to make in "Argo" is actually based on a real science fiction novel: 1967's "Lord of Light," by Roger Zelazny. A struggling screenwriter named Barry Geller wrote a draft, imagining that if the film were made, it could lead to a theme park called Science Fiction Land (to include voice-operated cars and robots, as if Tomorrowland in Disneyland were the main attraction). He even consulted with Ray Bradbury for the project and got concept art from Jack Kirby (co-creator of "The X-Men").
Far from being a script from a slush pile, "Lord of Light" was a film with some development behind it, even if it had fallen apart, and Geller was much dismayed when the CIA took it over.
Could this scrapped film have actually been a hit, with its sci-fi mysticism and life on a colonized planet?
"Now, it could be," "Argo" producer George Clooney told CNN. "Now I think it would make a hit film, don't you?"
'Silver Linings Playbook'
Run time: 2 hours, 2 minutes. Best time to go to the bathroom? When Shea Whigham comes home to watch a football game.
The Horror, The Horror!: After a quasi-date, Pat (Bradley Cooper) and Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) have an argument near a movie theater on Halloween night. On the partially obscured marquee? "Midnight M--- Train." That's a reference to "Midnight Meat Train," the 2008 horror movie based on a Clive Barker story, starring none other than ... Bradley Cooper. "Silver Linings" director David O. Russell thought it would be a cute Easter egg to toss in the nod, and when he first suggested it, Cooper thought Russell was joking. But then he showed up on set, and there it was, along with posters in the entrance way to the theater.
"It was fantastic," Cooper laughed. "You can just almost see it."
Run time: 2 hours, 7 minutes. Best time to go to the bathroom? During the former piano pupil's visit.
Cult Classic: Emmanuelle Riva, the oldest best actress nominee in history, turns 86 on Oscar night. She is known to serious cinephiles as the female lead in Alain Resnais's 1959 film "Hiroshima Mon Amour," which helped spark France's nouvelle vague movement. Leonard Maltin called it "the 'Birth of a Nation' of the French New Wave," Eric Rohmer called it "the first modern film of sound cinema" and Jean-Luc Godard called it "the first film without any cinematic references."
'Beasts of the Southern Wild'
Run time: 1 hour, 33 minutes. You can hold it.
Swim Team: Director Behn Zeitlin looked at 4,000 kids over the course of nine months to cast the part of Hushpuppy before he decided on a 5-year-old, Quvenzhané Wallis. Problem was, she didn't know how to swim, even though moving through bodies of water would be a requirement on the job.
"So we taught her to swim as part of making the film," director Behn Zeitlin said. "There was a scene where she had to run into the water, and we had people hiding in the water to catch the girls, but she was like Jesus on the water. She just ran on top of the water, past the guards who were there to catch her. She was fearless."
Run time: 2 hours, 30 minutes. Best time to go to the bathroom? Anytime, seriously.
There Once Was A Man Named Abe: Daniel Day-Lewis is a famously Method actor. On the set of "Nine," he wrote his co-stars love letters in character as Guido. And on the set of "Lincoln," he wrote his character's wife limericks, in character as Lincoln, signing them, "Yours, A." And apparently, they were naughty, or at least, very personal.
"I wouldn't tell anybody the content of them," Sally Field laughed. "They're mine, and not yours, and it will always be that way. It was just our way of getting to know each other and preparing, so I wouldn't tell you, even if I did remember them off the top of my head!"
Field said she responded in character as Mary Todd Lincoln, "and she criticized him quite a bit," so her texts back were not very encouraging. "That's kind of what she was," Field said.
'Django Unchained'
Run time: 2 hours, 45 minutes. Best time to go to the bathroom? The KKK raid, unless you're keen on a Jonah Hill cameo.
The D is Silent: The name "Django" was so chosen because of Sergio Corbucci's 1967 spaghetti western starring Franco Nero, which resulted in a number of sequels, well, sequels only in the sense that they shared the character name Django. Quentin Tarantino uses musical cues from the original "Django" as well as Corbucci's "The Hellbenders," Clint Eastwood's "Two Mules for Sister Sara" and Sergio Sollima's "Violent City."
'Les Miserables'
Run time: 2 hours, 37 minutes. Best time to go to the bathroom? "If you go very, very fast, then you can go after 'One Day More,' where the interval would have been," said director Tom Hooper.
Lapdances: Hugh Jackman celebrated his co-star Amanda Seyfried's 27th birthday while on the promo tour by giving her a very public lapdance, even though he plays the adopted father to her Cosette in the film.
"In my household, that's normal," he joked. "Is that not normal in father-daughter relationships? I was singing ('happy birthday') very sweetly to her, and then I looked at her eyes, and you can't maintain sweetness for more than five seconds."
Jackman predicts there might be more lapdances in store -- perhaps on Oscar night?

CPR seeks to counter efforts by the AMA Scope of Practice initiative that is designed to limit patients' choice of health practitioners. In the face of organized medicine's latest divisive efforts to limit these professionals' abilities to provide the care they are qualified to give, the CPR was formed for the sake of patients—to ensure that the growing needs of the American health system can be met and that patients everywhere have access to quality health care providers of their choice.
"Scope of practice" can be defined as the range of health care-related activities and services which a health care professional is educated, and certified or licensed, to provide. Please read CPR's joint statement and return here for more information from the coalition members.

The rocket's designer, SpaceX, says the problem's been fixed, and it's ready for its next launch attempt at 3:44 a.m. on Tuesday. (WRDW-TV / May 21, 2012)
Thursday, May 31, 2012
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- A mission that marks the start of a new era in space travel has ended with an old-fashioned splashdown.
The unmanned SpaceX Dragon supply ship is back on Earth after a nine-day voyage to the International Space Station.
It parachuted into the ocean about 500 miles of Mexico's Baja California. The capsule resembles the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo spacecraft of the 1960s and 1970s -- and its method of return is similar to the one used in those flights. A fleet of boats was in position, ready to retrieve the Dragon.
The world's first commercial space cargo carrier was launched last week from Cape Canaveral, docking with the space station three days later. It returned with a half-ton of old space station equipment.
The billionaire founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk, sent a Tweet that said, "Splashdown successful!" He added that the next version of the capsule will land with "helicopter precision."

Online Reservations
Their crab bisque was delicious! The grilled whole fish was succulent! We topped it off with a sweet sundae for dessert. Service very good. We sat by the window and had a great view of the beach.
I stayed at the Ocean Club Hotel this past Memorial Day Weekend. My husband and I did not even leave the resort for food because Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were off the charts amazing. Breakfast--must try the baked eggs w/ Spinach/Goat Cheese and handsdown BEST FRENCHTOAST I've ever had along with the homefries! Just great! For lunch we tried almost everything on the menu, notables were the chicken quesadillas, burgers, and MUST have the Lobster sandwich, it was to die for! Dinner--The Rib-Eye was delicious and very tasty. My husband had the grilled vealchop and said it was excellent. The atmosphere is young, hip and very SOBE. We had an excellent experience and will be back again!
Great wait stuff .food has tremendous flavor profiling
Went here during Cape May Restaurant week. Scallops were outstanding!
The location is nice...right across the street from the beach. The décor is fairly modern but nicely done. The service was very attentive the Sunday evening we went to Sea Salt. And, the food is clearly of an upper level and very good.
This was my first time dining at SeaSalt and overall it was a good experience. The staff was extremely friendly but service was very slow and unorganized. From the time we were seated to the time we left, we must have had 3 or 4 different waiters and yet they claimed to be understaffed. The left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. We would put in an order with one waiter, another would come by asking to take our order. Then another would come by asking if the other waiter put our order in. I will say that it is the beginning of the season and any place that just opened for the summer would have a few wrinkles to iron out. I would absolutely give them another shot and I would recommend this place to others.
We had a group of six and ate at sea salt on a June friday evening. Everything was very good. The Scallops Au Poivre were excellent. Great Service.
We decided to try Sea Salt on a weekend night. Our waiter, Sean, was attentive and very informed on the menu items as well as the cocktails and wine. The bar is very sleek and the different take on drinks was a surprise, we tried the Cape May Old Fashioned and a Sea Salt cocktail that reminded me of a mojito with the mint leaves. Very tasty! All of our food was perfectly prepared and scrumptious. The scallops were very tender and tasty, crab cakes had a delectable sauce and great presentation. Many unusual choices so we definitely will come back to try out Chef Lou's other creations. Highly recommended.
My husband and I went there in mid June, just before the season got underway, so it was relatively quiet. There is a great bar (try the blood orange cosmopolitan) which I imagine draws an energetic crowd during the rest of the summer. The food is superb! The special that night was a pan seared halibut with roasted fennel in a tomato consomme - not to be missed. It was a light, wonderfully flavorful dish. It is one of the best entrees I have ever had. Chef Lulzim Rexhepi was gracious enough to share his recipe with me. although I doubt I will do it justice. He and his wife and the entire crew at Sea Salt could not have been more accommodating. Worth a trip to Cape May just to eat there.
We celebrated our anniversary with a lovely dinner at SeaSalt. The evening was warm so we sat outside. We had a wonderful view of Cape May's Promenade and the ocean beyond. I had Swordfish Puttanesca. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I started my dinner with a corn and crab soup. The corn was pureed, had enough lump crab meat to satisfy me and was finished with Cream Fresh and Tabasco sauce. I liked it so much, I'm going to try and duplicate it at home. My husband had the rib-eye and said it was done perfectly. We also ordered the caramelized cauliflower & shallots which were very good. The service was spot on. Our waiter was friendly and efficient and we didn't have to wait for out food. I would go again.
Very good food, nice outdoor dining, excellent service. Outdoor dining on Ocean Blvd. across from beach. Comfortable table and chairs, waiters really into the food selections with detailed descriptions, frequent (but not bothersome) checking. Well integrated wait staff. innovative enhancements to appetizers like sushi-grade tuna with shaved asparagus and entrees like baked halibut. Nice gelatos for desert (among many other enticing options). very good selection of wines at usual 2x retail price. We'd definitely go there again.
Great addition to the Cape May Food Scene.. Awesome Mango Mojito at the Bar.. Hard working and professional staff and the food was amazing... thank you... highly recommended!
New to the dining scene in Cape May, this restaurant is worth a visit. Contemporary decor, friendly, trained staff, led by a gracious husband and wife team at the helm. Very fresh, local and sustainable menu well prepared and presented. Crab Cakes, Clams, best grilled Chicken eaten in a long time, incredible local Scallops, local yellow Tilefish all very good. Rare for restaurant main courses to equal or exceed quality and execution of starters. Banana spring roll delicious but a little tough to cut, chocolate flan with raspberry chile sorbet outstanding; less so a special of peach cobbler that was unfortunately not fully cooked. Good selection of wines and specialty cocktails. Overlooking the ocean, this restaurant is worth a visit.
My husband and I stopped in on a week night and discovered that Sea Salt has many choices and an attentive staff. There is a price fixe before 7pm during the week but the regular menu was too inviting and so we had the ribs (fall off the bone tender), the salmon special (moist and tasty) along with some of the interesting appetizers. Don't miss the smoked trout and minced beets over lettuce with trout eggs. The coriander tuna was absolutely excellent and served with a sweet chili sauce. For dessert we had the crème brulee which topped off a perfect evening! The view from the restaurant is top notch as it is right across the street from the beach.
This is a newer place at the Ocean Club hotel and all the accounts from friends and reviews were good. The food is modern American with a little bit of a tip of the hat to Nouvelle cuisine of the 1980; albeit with a contemporary makeover. This is a good date spot for a romantic dinner or a more upscale dinner with friends. Overall very good and about the same price range of the other places of this caliber for the area ($$$).
Great place for breakfast right across from the beach!
My husband and I dined at SeaSalt on a Friday night, and everything EVERYTHING we ate was delicious. We started with the tempura rock shrimp with tamarind dipping sauce. Amazing! My husband really enjoyed his arctic char. And my scallops were a dish by which I will judge all other scallops. Fresh, locally caught Cape May scallops perfectly seared. I am a seafood foodie and particularly love scallops, and have eaten them in some great places (Ireland, Maine, CA) but nothing compares to the SeaSalt scallops. Holy cow those were delicious! Finished with homemade coffee ice cream = heavenly meal!
When we walked into the restaurant, we felt welcomed into the relaxed, yet fun and refined atmosphere of SeaSalt. I started with the Ocean Club - a very refreshing cocktail made with fresh muddled cucumber and basil - yum! Our appetizers of corn & crab soup and smoked trout with pickled beets were delicious and hit the spot. Main dishes of scallops and swordfish were fresh and cooked perfectly. The banana springroll was a perfect dessert for two to share, and we couldn't get enough of the homemade burnt honey ice cream and sorbets. The service was great -- professional, well-timed, and friendly! We can't wait to return and try more dishes :)
We have been to Sea Salt a couple of times for dinner and the food, service and atmosphere are great. Very creative food and drink menu. Just do not go there for breakfast! Completely different! The service was horrible! One day wee waited 45 min after ordering for our food so the next day we decided to just order bagels as to not waste too much of our day and it took 40min!!! For bagels!!!!
My girlfriend and I were very pleasantly surprised by the prix fixe dinner at Sea Salt, a recent find via Open Table during a quick one-day trip to the venerable seaside resort.. A choice of three appetizers, three main courses and three deserts was challenging in a good way because it was all quite appealing. The baby back ribs in a hoisin and whole grain mustard BBQ sauce was large enough this night to have served as a main course.The chopped BBQ chicken dish with a spicy sesame chili dipping sauce was tangy and deliciously different. Finally, a mocha cheesecake with a scoop of coffee ice cream that tasted like actually drinking an outstanding cuppa joe was quite good. All of this for $35 (before 7 pm) with outstanding service to boot!
We were looking for something different to try for our anniversary and this fit the bill. The food was outstanding and unique. The ingredients were very fresh and cooked wonderfully. The service was accommodating and friendly. I would highly recommending trying this restaurant out and look forward to going back as well.
Our favorite new spot in Cape May. A wonderful modern addition to the old world charm of Cape May. Overall the best dining experience there after visiting for many years. Exceptional food, drinks and the service cannot be beat !
Loved this restaurant can't say enough great things about it. The service was good and the food was delicious my husband and I dined here our first night in Cape May. He had the steak it was huge and cooked to perfection, I'm not a steak lover he gave me a taste and I even liked it. I had the red snapper it too was delicious. We can't wait to go back.
Overall, we enjoyed our dining expereince at Sea Salt. The food was good. A fairly modern,contermporaty atmosphere for those looking for a change from the usual Cape May Victorian feel. Plus they had a pretty decent wine list. The service was very pleasant but felt a little disconnected, so will be curious to see if that improves over time.
This was our first time at Seasalt and we will definitely go again. Food was fabulous and our dear young server Shawn was very knowledgeable. Reasonable prices and lovely ocean view.
Interesting location. Across from the Ocean in Cape May. Away from the hustle of Washington Ave. Food was very good. We did the fixed priced 4 course menu for all four at the table. $200 for four later we wer very happy. Added oysters and clams, concktails and wine and a salad for the 5th person and we were over $400. More money than expected for Cape May but very good food. Again...? Maybe...
A big Thank You to the Chef and staff (Sean) at SeaSalt Restaurant.Staff were attentive and well educated on the menu.I had the jersey corn and crab soup to start.It was delicious.A smooth,creamy corn broth with nice pieces of sweet crab.It was garnished with creme fraiche,Sriracha (yum and a perfect accompaniment),and chives.My husband had the SeaSalt salad.A simple,not overly dressed (a good thing) salad which he welcomed after many a fried meal.I had the scallops with pureed cauliflower,he the aged rib eye with grilled scallions.Both delicious and cooked perfectly.Sean suggested the house made burnt honey ice cream.So good,creamy,flavorful.Thanks again to the Chef and staff for making our 17th Anniversary such a memorable one!!!
I took my parents here for a lovely dinner. Service was spectacular! I could have done without the smokers right next to the outside patio.
We have been going to Cape May for 15 years. We have our favorite restaurants and we usually stick with them. We decided to try something new and went to Sea Salt. The food was excellent and service was great. Next time I will request to sit outside. Did not know that was an option. Will definitely go back soon!!
This was our first time here and we really enjoyed it. The food was excellent, service was great. The atmosphere really nice, different. It's nice to be in Cape May but off the main drag. We will be back!
Great food and service. Small kids menu but you can split meals between kids. However you are looking at a 2 hour dining experience.
The service and food were impeccable! We had a delicious dinner. All employees were polite and so very kind and attentive to us and other diners.
This town has had some good restaurants for awhile now, but the Sea Salt and its hotel "Ocean Club" is a challenge to the old Victorian (slightly stodgy) aura of Cape May and a definite upgrade. Modern and luxurious in design and perfectly suited to an upscale coastal resort. The restaurant is the same -- the menu is truly fine dining, the wine list is good, an prices are about what they are at much less fine restaurants in town. The food was correctly prepared, although my wife's whole fish bordered on a tad overcooked; my colossal shrimp and jasmine rice dish was excellent; the cerviche and calamari appetizers were outstanding; service was truly excellent and the al fresco ambience was, as anticipated, delightful. We'll definitely return.
Chic vibe and decor, which doesn't exactly fit with the old-fashioned feel of Cape May, but the food, cocktails and staff were great. Sad at such a nice place folks walk in wearing raggedy T-shirts and flip-flops (it's sad that people don't dress well for dinner anymore!). My children loved the sliders and my red snapper and creme brûlée were incredible. Also recommend the blood orange Cosmo.
Chef's tasting menu (we had the 4-course, they also have a 5-course) was delicious and a great value for the price! Bring your appetite as we had a tasting of 11 different items/ dishes. We ate indoors due to rain although they have a nice outdoor deck across from the ocean. Our server, Sean, was the best as he was very knowledgeable on the food options and explained each course. We requested a special variation on their drink menu and Sean was knowledgeable with that as well. The hostess did a great job of seating us at a perfect table. Ambiance was perfect with soft Brasilian music playing by the bar. Overall, a real gem in Cape May! (P.S. - I frequent many restaurants and not often I would give one 5 stars in each category.)
Great place in cape May for something different. NYC atmosphere in Cape May Staff was great, Food was challenging in respect to something different International flair with great location. Good drinks and something special Book reservations early, tough to get a prime time. Chef has a great imagination and that made it fun , Food was well prepared and not boring ambiance was everything you want in a restaurant and if you dont, go outside on the deck
My wife and I took her parents to Sea Salt, expecting a great experience based on the excellent reviews on OpenTable. Unfortunately, several dishes that we were interested in were sold out, including the fish of the day (branzino) and red snapper. Even a Chilean Malbec wine we selected turned out to be unavailable this night. No matter, though, because the meals we settled on were all excellent (braised lamb, Arctic char, seafood linguine, and ribeye steak). The food and drinks were delicious, and not one of us could possibly complain about the quality and presentation of our dishes. We will definitely return.
My wife and I ate dinner at Sea Salt. We have eaten in Cape May for over ten years, and this restaurant is now in my top three to eat at. We did the Chef's tasting menu. First, considering the quality of food and the amount of food you get, it was well worth the price. Second, the team service was fantastic.Third, the atmosphere was relaxed fine dining. We had a table next to a window which they lifted up for us to enjoy the beautiful weather. Finally, there was not one item listed below that we felt to be anything less than delicious. This was a tremendous dining experience, and kicked off our latest stay in Cape May in great style. We will most certainly be back, and cannot recommend enough!
We have been to many resturants in Cape May and now will add SeaSalt to our list of likes!
Food was good! Service was fair. We had a great time but not sure if it a place we would go back to anytime soon. Menu is kind of limited. If the menu changes seasonal, we would go back.
menu is excellent, scallops were delicious. drinks were top notch. and everyone there (including our waiter sean), were very professional and friendly.
Husband and I ate here for 1st time 8/31. The food and service were the best we experienced during our stay in Cape May.The only recommendations I have are if you are an adult group go a little later. Our reservation was at 7 and by 8 all the kids were gone and the atmosphere changed dramatically. They dimmed the lights and it took on a different vibe. Absolutely get dessert, we shared the mocha cheesecake....WOW!!!! We already are looking forward to going back.
The Sea Salt has been on our list for fine dining for a couple of seasons. Hooray we finely visited the Sea Salt. Fabulous meal. Great service. A little higher priced then some, but if not an issue do recommend dining here. We sat next to window with a great view of the beach and ocean. Chose not dine outside due to approaching bad weather and wind. I had the scallops and my husband had the BBQ chicken. Both met our expectations. Scallops were tender and nicely seasoned. Chicken was also tender and juicy. You cannot go wrong dining here.
We went to SeaSalt- had only gone to the outdoor bar during a previous vacation. Wanted to try their restaurant for an anniversary dinner and weren't disappointed...food was excellent - great menu - tough to make a choice! Servers were excellent.
Excellent staff and wonderful meal. Everyone is very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent, there were 5 of us and I did not hear one complaint. We had our wedding reception there last year and will continue to come back.
My husband and I recently celebrated our 13 yr anniversary with a weekend away in Cape May, NJ. We had dinner at Sea Salt because it was part of the Ocean Club hotel where we were staying And because it was raining. The staff was so nice and went out of their Way to make our dinner special. The food was amazing too! I would totally reco Sea Salt to everyone.
This was our first time dining at Sea Salt and the food was amazing. The staff was very accommadating and very attentive. It was a wonderful experience and can;t wait to return.
First time visit.....end of their season, but still seemed fresh and alive. Interesting and tasteful selections. Corn crab soup an excellent start! We did not have room for desert, but again some interesting sounding dishes to finish your dining experience. Friendly staff. Room seems clean & inviting; not overdone.
We had a great time it was very nice the service was excellent above any restaurant I have been I will visit again in the near future.
Great food and outstanding service Our server provided great menu recommendations which we very much enjoyed. Disappointed that they're not open all year long. A bit pricey on drinks, but again we enjoyed our expierence and with return.

Peplum Ponte Mini Skirt
Item# 7223942
Sorry, this item is no longer available!
- Smooth stretch ponte knit
- Banded peplum waist
- Exposed back zipper
- 18" Length
- 65% Rayon, 30% Nylon, 5% Spandex
- Machine wash, gentle cycle.
- Imported
Amazingly cute and easy skirt
This skirt is so comfortable and versatile be prepared to receive compliments. The gold zipper in the back is an effortless and chic add-on. This length isn't too long or short but the peplum assures that it doesn't come off as either.
October 23, 2013
Nice Skirt, but Not Office Appropriate!
This skirt was true to size and fit perfectly. The material was stretchy and thick and the zipper in the back is a nice detail. My problem was that I had purchased the skirt to wear to the office and it was entirely too short and form-fitting. It was at least 4 inches above my knees and I'm only 5'3" and 117 lbs. This skirt would be perfect for a night out with the girls, but not office appropriate at all.
October 11, 2013
I bought this skirt because it was on sale. It is really cute. At first i wanted to wear it for work...but when i received it...the length was not appropriate for a corporate office. Overall its a great fitting skirt...just not for work.
September 25, 2013
Great Skirt
This is a great addition to any closet. The peplum and the back zipper are very on trend. The material is a bit heavier than I expected, but I don't mind it. I also like that this "mini" skirt is shorter than most of the pencil skirts I have but is still a very appropriate length.
September 2, 2013
Super Cute
I love the fit of this skirt! It's very flattering and the peplum hides any imperfections in the tummy area. I did not have a problem with it being too short, but I am 5'3. Just a fun, cute item to add to your closet!

Thank you for the great question! This skirt can go with a variety of tops and would look especially nice with something form fitting and tucked in to accentuate the peplum. A blouse in one of the latest stripe or print trends would look terrific, too. Thanks again!4 months ago

This skirt looks great with any fitted top, blouse, or shell that can be tucked in as not to cover up the peplum or zipper detail of the skirt.2 months, 1 week ago

Centro Route Changes Start Today
By Elizabeth Christensen
Syracuse, NY – Commuters who ride Centro buses may see some changes in their routes today.
The bus company has expanded some routes and has restored Sunday night service in some areas.
Rich Landerkin, a spokesman for Centro, says riders should be able to adapt to the changes fairly easily.
He says the biggest change will be the route labels. They've gone from an alpha-numeric system to strictly numberic labeling.

HOW MONOCULTURE THREATENS THE FUTURE OF FOOD - GROWING FOOD IN DEAD SOIL http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/01/01/bees-dying-from-chemical-agriculture.aspx?e_cid=20130101_DNL_art_2#_edn1
Corn farmers champion corn. Anything that might eat corn, hurt corn, bother corn, is killed. Their corn is bred to fight pests. The ground is sprayed. The stalks are sprayed again. We've erased everything else. (AND WE EAT THIS TOXIC FOOD?)
We need to feed our planet, of course. But we also need the teeny creatures that drive all life on earth. There's something strange about a farm that intentionally creates a biological desert to produce food for one species: us. It's efficient, yes. But it's so efficient that the ants are missing, the bees are missing, and even the birds stay away. Something's not right here. Our cornfields are too quiet.... http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2012/11/29/166156242/cornstalks-everywhere-but-nothing-else-not-even-a-bee

Michigan's newest wine trail hides in the oft-overlooked Irish Hills region between Ann Arbor and Lansing. Seven wineries, including Sandhill Crane Vineyards (left), operate nine tasting rooms along quaint main streets and rural two-lane highways, perfect for a casual weekend tour.
The little towns also hold their own surprises. Jackson has a budding arts scene, while Chelsea is home to Michigan native Jeff Daniels' Purple Rose Theatre. Tecumseh has one of the area's best restaurants, Evans Street Station, where a lovely apple-and-pecan salad tastes as fresh and unexpected as, well, a crisp Michigan white on a hot day.

After they graduated from St. John's University 50 years ago, the Class of 1961 set out to make their own unique mark on the world. Those graduates became doctors, lawyers, scholars, writers and a wide variety of other professions as they pursued their individual goals and dreams.
Photo gallery Order prints from Snapfish
But through all their divergent paths, one characteristic has remained the same between them: a deep connection to St. John's, and that commitment shone through at this year's Jubilarian Society Dinner.
This annual event honors those who are celebrating or have celebrated the 50th anniversary of their graduation from St. John's and includes a mass and dinner and a special recognition to the Class of 1961.
"It's absolutely fantastic to get together like this and chat with guys I haven't seen in a long time," said Joseph Fabrizi '61C. "I was very active in my fraternity when I was a student here, and quite a few of my brothers are here tonight. We're really having a great time catching up and remembering the good old days."
Alumni were particularly impressed with the Queens campus's recent renovations, including the additions of St. Thomas More Church and the D'Angelo Center.
"When the Pharmacy program first came out here to Queens, we had to walk on wooden planks on top of mud to get into class," remembered Barbara J. Sciarra '61P. "So when I think of the most outstanding difference in St. John's between then and now, I always think of the campus. It has become absolutely beautiful and lovely in these 50 years."
Patricia Goeller '61Ed, '63GEd, '94PD and Angela M. Brusco '61CBA made sure to find each other during the cocktail reception. They have remained close friends ever since their student days and continue to stay involved at St. John's.
"I met my husband here at St. John's, my first date was at a St. John's basketball game and, in fact, the last time we went out was at a St. John's game!" joked Brusco. "Not to mention I had such close friends here, and we've remained close ever since. It makes events like this great."
Goeller agreed and shared her own personal St. John's story.
"I've lived in Jamaica Estates my whole life and I remember when this campus was just a golf course," she said. "I was here when they shoveled out the first piece of dirt and when they put up a big sign that read, 'Future Home of St. John's University.' And look at this place now!"
Other guests were celebrating the 60th anniversary of their graduation, including Jim Kelly '51C, '99HON.
"This is fabulous – any type of function here always is," he said. "I've attended my 25th, 40th, 50th and now 60th reunions, and the great reminiscences are what keep me coming back."
As the guests gathered in the D'Angelo Center ballroom for dinner, Bob Kelly '61CBA served as alumni speaker, welcoming his former classmates and sharing a number of stories from his undergraduate days. He paid particular attention to the storied success of the men's basketball program.
"I've been cheering for St. John's for 54 years, and you have too, and it's evidenced by you all being here tonight," he said.
At the end of his speech, Kelly orchestrated a "We are… St. John's!" chant to fire up his fellow graduates and to honor legendary Men's Basketball Coach Lou Carnesecca '50C, '60GEd, '00HON, who was also in attendance.
Fr. Harrington addressed the alumni afterwards and expressed his gratitude for their continued support of the University.
"To come back here and still feel such a bond means a great deal," he remarked. "We thank you for the ways that you have lived your lives, because that is the best way of telling the St. John's story – by the great success of your own endeavors and, at the same time, maintaining those values which are so important to us at the University."

You shitheads come into the toy forums solely to talk shit to people it seems.
That must make you feel like you have a big dick,
that you can do all this on the internet.
This shit was intended to help others.
Not talk shit, which is apparently all anyone on here can do.
ESPECIALLY "Mr. Yarbles" commenting on my "Wack ass tag."

Glad you got an awesome laugh out of my attempt.
Fuck how long you've been writing,
you're still as big of a piece of shit as any.
"Often the people who give the most shit are the one's who can't handle any shit. It's up to you what you want to do with the criticism - accept and use it or don't and keep doing whatever you believe in. In the end, you're not painting for others enjoyment and taste in style - but your own."
