It also includes a meeting of the minds on legislation to create a tax credit sought by Corbett in his pursuit of bringing an integrated petrochemical industry to Pennsylvania, anchored by a multibillion-dollar refinery planned in the Pittsburgh area by a subsidiary of Netherlands-based oil and gas giant Royal Dutch Shell PLC.
The agreement for the fiscal year beginning July 1 puts the state on course for a second straight on-time budget. It comes after two weeks of almost-daily talks behind closed doors and at a time when schools are making plans to lay off thousands of employees, in part because of deep cuts in state aid this year. Corbett, a Republican who took office last year after campaigning on a pledge not to raise taxes, and the others would not give details about their new agreement until rank-and-file lawmakers are briefed in the coming days.
"We have agreement among ourselves on many, many areas," Corbett told reporters gathered in his Capitol conference room. "There are still some other areas we need to work out."
Leaders of the House and Senate Republican majorities stood at Corbett's sides but largely stayed silent during the briefing.
Democrats were not invited to the talks, and not one single Democratic lawmaker voted for the budget currently in force, which was Corbett's first as governor.
The newly agreed-upon spending plan appears to be nearly identical to one put forth to Corbett by lawmakers. If so, it will include no new taxes while raising spending less than 2 percent and leaving about $267 million in reserve a year from now.
Aid for public schools and 18 state-supported universities would remain flat, at least. Budget negotiators also discussed adding a $50 million zero-interest loan program for school districts nearing financial collapse and an additional $100 million in tax credits on business-sector donations to subsidize scholarships for low-income children in the state's worst-performing schools. But it was not clear whether money for those programs was included in the agreement.
Meanwhile, the plan would cut business taxes by $275 million while slashing money for county-run social services by 10 percent, or $84 million, and eliminating a $150 million cash benefit called General Assistance for temporarily disabled adults who are out of work.
The $200-a-month cash benefit, which dates back to the Great Depression, has been on Republicans' chopping block despite appeals from advocates for the poor and homeless, as well as the AARP, the United Way and religious groups representing Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans, Unitarian Universalists and Jews.
Corbett proposed a $27.1 billion hold-the-line plan in February that nonetheless included deep cuts in aid for education and social services while cutting business taxes and spending more on health care and public employee pension costs.
But tax collections began to brighten after that, and Republican lawmakers used the newly available cash in their alternative plan to add hundreds of millions of dollars to the subsidies that Corbett had proposed for universities, public schools, county-run social services, the race horse industry, medical research, retailers and hospitals and nursing homes that care for the poor.
The Democratic minority in the House of Representatives sought unsuccessfully earlier this month to win a vote for $300 million in additional spending that it insisted the state would collect in taxes and bashed the GOP agenda as needlessly painful for schools and people who depend on social services.

Three million crime, court and convict records to be digitised
17 August
The National Archives' crime, courts and convicts collection is to be transcribed, digitised and published online by brightsolid, following an open tender process.
The collection
Comprising bound volumes and loose papers dating from 1782 to 1930, this vast collection includes records from the Home Office, Prison Commission, Metropolitan Police, Central Criminal Court and the Admiralty.
The records will be searchable by name, alias, date of birth, place, offence and sentence. Content such as judges' reports, prison registers, transfer papers and gaolers' reports will also be included.
'Hidden stories of crime and punishment'
Caroline Kimbell, Head of Licensing at The National Archives, said: 'By making these important sets of historical records available online, more people than ever before can uncover hidden stories of crime and punishment from the archives. Being able to add these popular records to the growing list of The National Archives' resources available digitally is yet more evidence of the importance and effectiveness of forming partnerships across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.'
Elaine Collins, Business Development Director at brightsolid commented: 'Brightsolid is very much looking forward to digitising and publishing online for the first time these amazing records from the national collection, making them available to an ever growing audience of family historians worldwide.'
December 2012
The digitisation project is a huge undertaking with conservation, scanning, image processing and quality control work needed. This will be a labour and time intensive manual scanning project with around 1.84 million images (pages) making up the records. Both the conservation and scanning stages are expected to take around 18 months to complete, with the first tranche of records expected to be published online from December 2012.

You can find guidance on the records that are currently available in our Criminals, bankrupts and litigants research signposts.

LEXIE is a shoulder bag, messenger and backpack in one! The base of the bag features a black textured honeycomb pattern woven into a black background and is complimented with a medium weight fancier fabric in black with a slight sheen and pebbled look for the top band and straps.
Features: Part of our versatile "LINKS Collection", LEXIE comes with two short straps and a ring attacher to allow multiple looks and different ways to carry. Use a single strap, or both together, to wear as a shoulder bag, link the two together to create a long strap to wear messenger style, or hook the straps to the hidden d-rings in the side seams to carry as a backpack. May also be worn with the adjustable strap as seen on the ISABEL, and either NANCY or ISABEL may be clipped onto the back for extra storage or a pop of color. The interior is lined with standard black poplin and has one zippered pocket and 4 small open pockets for access to keys, ipod, phone and more.

The Town of Lyons Staff held a roundtable meeting with the owners and landlords of the medical marijuana businesses here in Lyons last Wednesday evening (January 12). A second meeting for input from the general public was held Wednesday, January 19, but because of publishing schedules, that story will be in next week's edition. On hand were: Administrator Victoria Simonsen, Economic Development and Community Relations
I wanted to take just a minute to address an issue I believe is of extreme importance to our community, and specifically to our youth — Medical Marijuana. How are we as a town going to respond to it?We're making plans for improvements to our web site and back office operations. Please click here to take our new feature poll. There's only 1 question. Thanks.
Surprisingly, eight citizens and two Trustees showed up at Monday evening's Planning and Community Development Commission (PCDC) meeting. Not surprisingly, six of the citizens were there to talk about unexplored options (the banning of cultivation, infusion, and sale of medical marijuana) the Town might consider. Unfortunately for those six hearty souls who had braved the frigid temperatures instead of watching the Auburn/Oregon game, medical marijuana was not on the agenda. What was on the agenda were possible amendments to the Town's annexation procedures.

The eight foot tall sound barrier is the final element relating to the North St. Vrain bridge projects, which were rebuilt by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) in 2007. "This was part of the plan all along," says Planet Bluegrass president Craig Ferguson.

Successful Teamwork
Unusual fungal metabolites with antitumor activity discovered by crowdsourcing
Since the discovery of penicillin, fungi have been a nearly inexhaustible source for the discovery of new drugs. "Crowdsourcing", the cooperation of a large number of interested nonscientists, has helped to find a new fungus from which American researchers have now isolated and characterized an unusual metabolite with interesting antitumor activity.

Like a Boss
Three bold interview looks for the job you want.
Congratulations! You've bypassed the resumes HR reserves for kindling and scored that initial interview. A fine fellow such as yourself shouldn't have to worry about tedious things such as "qualifications" or "background" but rather the unspoken gauntlet known as the first impression.
Like everything, there is a time and place for certain outfits and an interview is no exception — you have to appropriately dress for the title you're vying for. For example…
When striving for the corporate sector we suggest the unanimously accepted solid grey or navy two-button suit with a white-button down, solid or repp stripe tie, matching shoes and belt flourished with a pocket square. This will allow the interviewer to focus on your sparkling personality rather than a frat-tastic bow tie or pink-on-pink country club cocktail hour ensemble.
After the interview feel free to loosen the tie, rustle your hair, remove the jacket and proceed to the nearest bar for the ubiquitous "gin-ing and winning" look.
This is for you right-brained folk who need to authentically show creativity through personal style while still looking like you're prepared to show up to work before noon.
A full-on suit may be too much, so split it up and pair a double-breasted suit jacket with more casual cotton trousers. Toss on the requisite button-down, tie, matching belt and shoes and finish it off with a pocket square. Feel free to play a little with your look and cuff your trousers. And don't forget a handsome leather briefcase for your portfolio or iPad.
Go forth young Photoshop magician, and prove to the rest of your Poison cover band what you're made of.
Your Tumblr pipe dream has come to fruition, and you have the chance to accompany a menswear blogger to Pitti for fashion week and bask in his meticulously disheveled glory.
Since appearance is everything go full throttle. Camouflage button-down? Check. Multiple layers and designer string bracelets? Check. Single breasted denim blazer wrinkled to perfection? Check.
Cuff those skinny pants as far as they'll go to show off the newest, most aggressive sneakers of the time. Throw in a pair of carefully folded (and expertly placed just so) sunglasses alongside your pocket square and learn to juggle multiple Apple products at one time while still sporting an old school camera for effect.
Start perfecting your blasé "Sartorialist who?" expression because your future is looking as bright as the 'rise' Instagram filter.
Mark Blumenfeldfor a clothier i love, you guys HAVE to stop boasting images in which the cuffs of trousers are excessively high to the point it renders a misfit. equally, the jackets in your pictures dont fit, the buttons are waay to high and it sets the entire piece off. you make great clothes, show them off at their best, and show them off right.

Although recent studies show that chocolate can be good for us, conventionally grown chocolate is not that great for the Earth. However, we can still enjoy the sweet life by indulging in organic and fair trade chocolates.
Dark chocolate contains more antioxidants than blueberries and more flavonoids than green tea! Unfortunately, if it isn't organic, the cocoa beans have likely been doused with chemical pesticides.
Fair-trade chocolate supports the efforts of local farmers and guarantees better social and environmental standards.
These days, we can find organic and fair-trade chocolate in a wide range of varieties so it's easy to spoil your palate with eco-friendly treats. After all, who would want to live a life without chocolate? It is the perfect comfort food thanks to its properties that release endorphins and gives us the feeling of being in love!
Read more on why organic chocolate is a sweeter deal and checkout our list of the best organic and fair trade chocolates.

Ryder Beach, Truro
One of the things that my brother and I do on vacation is get lost. We traveled last Saturday up to Wellfleet where we had lunch and enjoyed a harbor festival. We then went looking for a beach near Welfleet that my brother and his girlfriend went to many years ago and we got lost.
We eventually followed a road to the end and found Ryder Beach, Truro. This is perhaps the prettiest place that I have yet been to on Cape Cod. I wish I could live there.
You have to climb up path over the dunes and then come down the other side onto an empty beach. We were the only people that we could see. That was about three or four miles up and down the beach.
Her are the pictures.

Most federally run exchanges will offer more plans, lower premiums than expected, HHS report showsBy Modern Healthcare
Related links
An eagerly awaited report by the Health and Human Services Department released today on health plan premiums and participation in the 36 states where the federal government is fully or partly running the new insurance exchanges shows that consumers in most of those states will have many plans to choose from and that premiums will be significantly lower than expected in 2014. The number of local plan choices available to consumers on the federally facilitated exchanges will range from six to 169. On average, there are eight different health insurers participating in each of the exchanges, ranging from one to 13. The report found that premiums tend to be lower in states with more participating insurers. Read about where Michigan ranks in the pack of premiums here. Widespread uncertainty, concernThe new HHS report, combined with previous reports from states running their own exchanges that showed similar results, bolsters the Obama administration's case that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is achieving its goal of fostering competition in the health insurance marketplace and producing affordable premiums for consumers. The report, however, only discusses premiums, not total out-of-pocket costs including deductibles, copays and coinsurance. ACA supporters acknowledge that out-of-pocket costs may prove a barrier to care for some lower-income exchange subscribers, though households earning less than 250% of the federal poverty level will qualify for cost-sharing subsidies.

The price was competitive, the service very good and the blind fitted perfectly. Very satisfied and will use this Company again.
The quality of the blinds is outstanding..... relatively easy to fit too..... just follow the instructions and video on-line.....! Changes the whole appearance of the room! Will definitely use again!!!!
I found it all easy and the blind looks lovely and finishes off my new bedroom a treat!
Excellent after sales service from friendly helpful team
The free sample service helped to make my choice. Shame that some of the fabrics were not available in all widths, and that the venetian blinds were not all available in narrow. Would be helpful if the search could eliminate those which would not suit. Otherwise very good
I was very impressed with the quality and fit of the blinds I ordered. They were delivered on time and my husband had no trouble fitting them. They look great too!
Wonderfully easy to fit, the final effect is brilliant!
Very impressed. From the speed of the samples being sent out to us, to the ordering and completion of order. Great communication. Super product which looks great. We have used before and would use again, highly recommending to others.
Got samples first which arrived the next day. The blinds were good quality, all fixings included, fast and efficient service. No problems. The only small criticism is the fitting instructions. They are available on the website but weren't clear. Had to look at instructions on someone else's site. Will be ordering more and highly recommend.
Carol, Berkshire
Need some more detailed printed guidance for installing blinds - available on web but too generic.
The company was in contact with us to confirm the delivery day of their courier.
We required the blinds on a certain deadline, which was met.
The service was very fast and efficient, we will be placing another order for venetian blinds soon.
Great service, brilliant quality and perfect fit. Highly recommended.
Bought a roller black-out blind and an aluminium slatted blind. Both arrived in less than a week and are a perfect fit for my reveals. Both blinds are high quality and were easy to fit. The availability of child-safe attachments was also welcome.
Replaced some old blinds - excellent service, good delivery time. Will use again,
Wanted 2 new vertical blinds to try and match up with one we had ordered from a local company a few years ago. Chosen samples arrived the next day and their quality obviously as good as the ones we already had. Couldn't believe the price we were quoted when we put our measurement details into the very easy online order form. Order arrived exactly when they said it would. So simple to assemble as full instructions and all fittings supplied. I don't usually write reviews but always like to read customer reviews before I purchase anything online. I hope this helps to convince new customers of this excellent service!
I ordered this blind it arrived a week later , the colour is great and it looks good in the room thanks for the great service , will use again.
My wife and I are absolutely delighted with our wooden venetian blind. After obtaining quotes for supply and fit from a major blinds company and from a leading department store we were so astonished at the cost that we decided to go our own way. We're so glad we did; the Made to Measure website made it so simple to measure and order and their instructions and videos made fitting a doddle. And we save ourselves a few hundred pounds in the process! Thank you M2M!
This company is absolutely great! They are very quick, with reasonable prices and there are so many colour to choose from, far better than Peter Jones. Their web site is very comprehensible. Also if I need any help, I can call and ask them directly. I had ordered and received about 2m length vernation bland then I found that the strings were frayed. I sent them the photos of the proof with the comment. A week later, I received a new one with no fuss! Amazing! I think this company operates in a honest manner and can trust them. I will recommend it to anyone.
Ordered a small bathroom roller blind. It was delivered in good time and was exactly
what we ordered.
Thank you 'Made to measure blinds'
The blinds arrived quickly, were the right size and straightforward to fit. This was the second order I have paced with Made to Measure Blinds and I would use them again.
Completely brilliant company from start to finish. Easy to order easy to fit absolutely great.
Arrived in time very pleased with the quality and value for money
Looked for blinds for rented property and came across made to measure blinds site. We took a chance and ordered our blind. It came within 2 days of order, exactly as ordered. We were so pleased with the result that we ordered another blind for a family member. We broke one of the brackets during installation. Called to see if we could order another bracket, and Peter sent us a replacement free of charge within 2 days just before Christmas. The blind we had in rental property lasted for 4 years and as it was made to measure we left it there, it was as good as the day it arrived after being used every day.
Our new property needed blinds so we didn't hesitate to order from made to measure again, we now have 3 blinds that were exactly as ordered and look and function great.
We tell anybody that require blinds to look at this company first, we don't think they can be beaten for value or customer care.
Very easy to order with each step explained clearly. Any size window can have professional-looking blinds which are, indeed, 'made to measure'.
Any after-sales issues are dealt with quickly & effectively.
Large choice of blinds means colours can be coordinated in most rooms.
Look very slick when fitted & easy to operate.
Done 3 of our windows & very pleased with all of them.
I found the instructions given on this site the most clearest, the range of products was the widest and the prices were the best too. When I had a query I quickly received the help I needed. Very happy with the product and service.
This is the second time I've used Made to Measure Blinds and I remain very impressed by the ease of use of the web site, the choice, and the quality of the blinds. They also have excellent follow up customer service. I would highly recommend them
Ordered a blind in an unusual size for my bathroom. The blind arrived very quickly which is unusual for my so called "rural" area with other companies. The fit was perfect, the material was stunning and high quality and fitting the blind was very easy. I will be buying from made to measure blinds again and will be recommending to friends.
I found ordering my blinds easy and the delivery was quick too. Was impressed by the support given both online and then followed up by post. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will be making future orders.
I first tried out Made to Measure Blinds UK by purchasing a couple of blinds for my bedroom and was so impressed with the quality and service that I have now had new blinds made for all windows in my house. The website is easy to use, and blinds arrive in 7 days, nicely packaged. A great service that I would highly recommend.
The blinds arrived promptly and were much better value for money than many other companies that I had looked at. Good quality.
Exactly what I was looking for, fitted perfectly, price was very reasonable and delivery was speedy. Extremely pleased, will definitely be returning for any future blinds.
Very happy with the ordering process, speed of delivery, and quality of the wooden blinds is superb.
Quickly made and delivered. Perfect spec. Happy days!
We needed a blackout blind to shield our bedroom from a street light. The blind we ordered arrived within the time stated and was exactly as we had specified. Fitting it was straightforward.
The trickiest thing was the measuring up. Despite the comprehensive measuring guide online, there are plenty of chances for the unwary to make mistakes. Take your time and check and double-check your measurements.
Have placed 2 orders with this company and both were delivered very quickly after a simple order online. They were easy to put up and if unsure, there is a video on how to fit. The material and colours were of a good quality and stylish. Would definitely order from them again and recommend.
Service was professional and very easy instructions from measuring to ordering an the installation guide.
OK, all you need to know on how to measure your window for the type of blind you choose is on the website. All is needed is a tape rule, pencil, and maybe masking tape.
The old saying "measure twice cut once" is a good thing to remember a this stage, again all you need to know on fitting your blinds is on the website, and once done stand back admire the quality and decide what to do with the money you have saved!!.
My daughter needed a blackout blind to keep out bright morning sunshine in her bedroom. Within the week we had exactly what we needed and she is extremely happy with her newly darkened room and is enjoying a better night's sleep.The measuring instructions online are helpful and the blinds slotted in beautifully. The quality is good.
You may find the following tip helpful. Our blinds are cream and the person fitting managed to get a few marks on them whilst fitting them. I used Simple face wipes to remove the marks and this works beautifully.
All in all I am really pleased with this purchase and would reorder.
I've used Made to Measure Blinds UK every time i've moved house in the last 8 years (about 4 times) and the service is always great.

There's also other character bookmarks and there's an Edward and Bella one (the pic is too tiny)
See them all Here
Lovely! Perhaps I should start reading real books again, rather than just FF...
Yummy as always. He can mark MY book anytime.
LMAO! Fifty I have the same problem. I read ff on my computer. No need for bookmarks.
I must learn to step away from the ff.
Fifty & ADM - i think we all have that problem :) oh and i am reading FF Just Wait and it is great reading, a little dark but great.
but i do have my hard book series that i read too.
so i will defintely get eclipseward, i have twiward but this new one is beautiful :)
I received NewMoon book markers (I am known as the 'book lady!') for birthday last year; wonder if these will show up for next birthday!
I know it sounds stupid but the best, most practical bookmarks, I've found, are plastic-coated paper clips. They never fall out even if you up-end the book and they don't hurt the book.
Generally I adore the type of bookmarks on this post. Like the one on the left. Good Edward shot.
And ladies, how can you read books on the screen?? I tried reading Midnight Sun that way and ended up just skimming part of it and now can hardly wait for SM to finally get that thing written and published.
I'm getting a bit better with reading print on the screen, what with all this blogging and emailing, but a whole novel? Hmm. I want a 'Reader' or 'Kindle'. Those are actually more like real books.
Oh, forgot to say that I've made my own Edward and Robert bookmarks. Just print off 4x6 favourite photos. But when they fall out, everyone knows.
jesse--i've found index cards and post-its to be the best bookmarks; I can write on them any new words i have learned, any ideas I have formed, any quotes i want to keep. But having pretty ones that make me smile are nice sometimes, too. :-)
@ jessegirl
I think that "everyone" already knows LOL!
Oh I want one!! Oh Edward. Le sigh.
Hello...my name is LHR and I am a FF junkie........
Although....if I had Fierceward holding my place in a actual book......I might be more inclined to read........maybe......
As tempting as these bookmarks are, I still dog ear the pages. They never fall out and after they're back in place, the weight of the book straightens the fold out beautifully. The tell-tale signs of the fold have also helped me look back at a particular line or two because I remember about where I've read the section I'm looking for.
But "handling" (or licking) the bookmark might bring me great joy when thinking about the Pretty. Decisions. Decisions.
Reading ff has almost ruined my eye
sight however, especially reading Twilighted.net's black background.
Forgive me. I'm rambling while I'm thinking of which pictures I'd like to see on a bookmark and which states of undress Rob would exhibit.
Thank you Ana73 for the rec. I have not read that one.
Just wondering ~ could bookmarks be pop ups? Just for those of us who have ruined our eyes reading all this great ff...
you can have white background on Twilighted.net! Just go to 'edit preferences' and then choose 'white' at the option 'skin'! The white background is less tiring than the black one!
Solas...brainwave...they should make Robert post-it notes! That way we can bookmark, write notes and look at the Pretty all at once!
Where's our marketing team?
OOOOOOOH! My husband bought me the New Moon book mark the other day. Totally surprised me. Of course, than he complained and teased me about my Robward obsession. Jerk.
I wish they would stop air brushing Edward so much. It makes him look fake. Rob doesnt need airbrushing!
jesse--I have NO head for business or marketing, else I would not be poverty stricken. So take the idea and run with it. :-=)

Culinary Dropout
Online Reservations
We loved the space - were seated at a table just on the edge of indoors/outdoors which was perfect. The drinks were excellent - my husband is still talking about the bacon infused bloody mary. We had the fried chicken and the sweet corn canneloni. Both were excellent. Our server, Jarod, was friendly and attentive in a genuine way and made us feel comfortable. We will definitely go back next time we are at the Hard Rock.
I would focus on the cocktail selections - great creations that are excellent. The Smashed Irishman - recommended by my waiter Jared without hesitation for a whiskey drinker - was fantastic. Probably one of the best drinks I've ever had. It's a blend of Jameson, "reduced Guinness" and mint. So good that I'll have to try to figure out that at home very soon. Also, they had a useful pre-concert menu too that was affordable and popular, but we went with other food choices. Great night there - would love to come back and see more of this interesting space.
We went to Culinary Dropout twice...once before the concert and once afterwards. On both occasions we were greeted by the same hostess who was friendly and helpful and energetic and had great servers both times as well. Food was great except the burgers were very undercooked. We will definitely go back again when in Vegas!
We love the location in Scottsdale so we decided to give this one a try...the food was outstanding! Pretzel bread with cheese fondue is our favorite. Great ambiance and decor. The outside seating is cozy and we loved the fire pits. We had dinner on a quiet Monday night...highly recommend!
Wonderful place to go at the Hard Rock hotel in Vegas. Really enjoyed the eclectic food and drink menu, but not an overwhelming menu like some restaurants.
Went to Culinary Dropout before seeing Def Leppard and it was a lot of fun. Service was good except it was hard to tell who worked there vs customers. The staff does not wear any type of uniform. They have a really nice outdoor sitting sitting area by the pool. The food was very good! We both had the bistro steak with handcut fries. You have to try the fries, they're really yummy and crunchy.
Get the fried chicken. Get the pretzel fondue. Get to Culinary Dropout! We had a group of six wander over here based based on a few positive online reviews, and a few of us were weary of what to find. All in all, this was a truly wonderful experience, one where you aren't breaking the bank with food or drink. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone taking a trip to Vegas. The chicken seemed to have a rib rub in the breading, which was absolutely delicious. Definitely check this place out.
Overall this was a very good experience. We had read some unfavorable reviews on service, but our waitress was outstanding, and our food came out promptly even with a packed house. I would recommend this, and i will plan to go back.
Everything was great. The food was amazing, the server was fantastic, and the vibe was good.
Great service, open table made the experience so much better with the reservations. Restaurant was loud at first with the techno music from the pool, but got better once it was done. Love the furniture, decor, staff is fantastic. We ordered a variety of dishes and shared. I would definitely return!
We had a nice time. Sat at the bar for late dinner and had great service.
Great outdoor seating and fun menu. The pretzels are awesome and the stroganoff was amazing. Meatloaf was lacking flavor though. Service was good, we were in a hurry for a show and they hustled for us. Overall great experience, will be back.
fun,funky atmosphere.love the appetizer selections.
We had antipasti, oysters, crab legs, burger and salad, and it was all delicious. But the best part was an interesting beer list and a great personable server! We would definitely return.
Had a terrific birthday dinner, including Bistro steak (extremely tender), & home-made meatloaf (not dry at all, as we have had at so many places, served w/green beans (maybe out of a can? but that's what made it authentic) & mashed potato/gravy. Some terrific sourdough, crusty bread w/olive oil became addictive. Lovely warm monkeybread dessert, reminded us of an expanded upon bread pudding w/cinnamon, sugar. Had the Clown Punch made w/10 Cane rum, apricot brandy & oj, tropically smooth. Noise level wa sa bit high, Rehab pool backing up to the outdoor area, so it felt a little Ibiza-ish, not too bad though, & at 7PM the pool's music stopped and Culinary's piped music took over, nice. Alexa's service was spot on. will recommend and be back.
Fresh and scratch made. Great beer choices, exceptional food and something for everyone. Its really about the food here.
amazing as always. fun and hip location in the hard rock and a must visit when in las vegas. food is amazing and really love the pretzels and the salads are good and the perfect size. in addition, the meatloaf is a favorite of the group
Good food, great ambiance, cool vibe. Great place to eat before a concert at the Hard Rock!
One of the best experiences I have had dining out. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful! The food, excellent, not one complaint. We had a semi-large group for a bachelorette party before the night scene and everyone loved it. It is a must to dine here at least one time during your trip, if not making it a regular Vegas staple.
Awesome atmosphere and great food to go along with it. The restaurant is definately a gem in Vegas. The food is top notch and inexpensive for the strip. The wait staff is highly energentic and very helpful with menu selections.
This casual restaurant is a great addition to the Hard Rock Hotel. Seating is available both in door and over looking the pool and their potato chip/onion dip appetizer was a great way to start the meal.
Loved the pretzel balls fondue but the candle kept going out so the cheese kept hardening. Still tasted great though.
A single gal in Las Vegas for a concert. Great service (quick and helpful), amazing food (surprising combinations and so tasty) and loved the decor. Great drink selection. Comfortable and lively. Antipasti - so tasty Fried Chicken - delicious... highly recommend it!
Went to CDO before a comedy show at the Hard Rock. Very warm and personable service. We spoke with several of the staff- all of whom asked about how we'd heard about them and were genuinely interested in our answer. They all clearly had a strong sense of ownership in the property. As a recovering service professional, I have true respect for any operation that can inspire this in their staff. Food was DEElicious! We enjoyed a selection of cured meats, cheeses and their 'crusty bread and olive oil'. Also has burrata, and some oysters, and a few of their specialty cocktails. Everything was fantastic and beautifully presented. The ambiance was funky and comfortable, and very relaxed. The patio overlooks the infamous pool at HRH.
We brought a large group of 50 to CD's, and they really shined for us, with some great food and even better service. They put our group out on their patio (at poolside), and it was a great "tropical" sort of feel; very relaxing for everyone to get comfortable, and yes even loud. I would recommend anyone with a large group contacting Brieanna; she took great care of us!
Great to sit outside on a hot night - the air condtioning from inside wafts out to patio so it is very comfortable . The service was great . The food is just regular bar type food but there is nothing wrong with that if that is what you expect . Prices not unreasonable . Good beer list
My wife and I went there before a concert at The Joint and were pleasantly surprised how good the food was. We just had salads, apps and wine but all were good and well prepared. Watching the takedown from rehab was not the best ambiance, but the food and service were really quite good and I would go again (thought I might stay indoors near the deck, but not on the deck)
We thought this restaraunt looked fun. We didn't know what to expect. The food was amazing! Pretzel bites with cheese fondue is to die for! Everyone was happy with their food. Drinks were good but a little disappointed in the martini menu. Ambience is so much fun and the decor is hip and super fun! Loved it so much that when I was in Scottsdale and stumbled upon another Culinary Dropout I was thrilled!
My husband and I ate here for dinner, the food was amaizng as were the drinks. I had the pub burger and it was great. My husbands meatloaf was really pink so we sent it back and they fixed a new one for him. we ordered dessert which took longer than they had said, so while we waited they brought us another dessert to try (carmel pudding with house made carmel corn) it was wonderful, best pudding ive had in ages. a few minutes later they brought the dessert we had ordered, monkey bread. my husband said it was great, i didnt have any as i was beyond full already. This was a great resturant and experiance, everyone from the hostess to the manager was friendly. I cant wait to come back with friends!
Dropped in on a lark upon a recommendation from a local. Wonderful food and tableware. I tried the house salad and the fried chicken (super yummy and moist). Really enjoyed the club vibe along with the great view of the outdoors without being outside. A little loud so not great for intimate dinner but great for a party with good friends.
My wife and I are certainly past the bar scene age so keep that in mind. This place was fun, energetic, and has an interesting menu. Definitely worth a bite when you are near the Hard Rock Hotel.
Being in Vegas for a week, you can dine at the fanciest restaurants both on and off the strip; this was just what we wanted after a week of trade shows. It is essentially a bar, but with better food! Good selection of beers. It was very laid back. Service was fantastic. (we gave our server all of the tips that we didn't give to the servers at the expensive restaurants who didn't seem to care if we were there or not - and BTW, he was a guy, not just another pretty girl!) During the day, it is pool side, during the night, great place to get dinner before a show/concert. Very good mix of inside/outside tables. We were very pleased and will definitely be back.
We live in Phoenix, so we're very familiar with the Fox Restaurant Concepts' excellent restaurants. We've been to the Culinary Dropout in Phoenix, so we were thrilled to find one here in Las Vegas now. And this one does not disappoint. It's a beautiful space, the food and drinks are excellent, and the service is first rate. Definitely recommended.
Great snack before the show. Really enjoyed the brown bag surprises.
I ate here twice on a recent trip to Vegas, I will definitely return on future trips. Great menu, including a decent beer selection.
We were going to see Motley Crue and saw that this restaraunt was doing a Pre-Fixe menu so we set up a reservation beforehand. Got a great table outside, great ambiance and crowd. Staff was attentive and personable, good music, interesting cocktail menu kind of just a hip rock spot in general. The food was OK. We shared the Pretzel bites which were very good, the meatloaf was recommended but not that great, my wife had the Cantelloni and said it was good. Split monkey bread for desert, just OK. It's well done comfort food but nothing amazing or memorable. But a great spot to hang out for a while while at the Hard Rock.
This is a great spot for comfort food done well with a twist. We went on a Thursday evening, and it wasn't too crowded. When we were seated, the waiter explained that everything - Everything - is made in house, from the turkey pastrami to the bread for the sandwiches. The drink menu has some really nice mixed drinks. Everything we had was delicious - especially the pretzel fondue appetizer. It was so good, we went back again on Friday. :-)
My husband and I were visiting Las Vegas and decided to try out my favorite restaurant back home in AZ. Our server was amazing and she helped us choose some new drinks and dinner choices. I always try something different and am ever let down on the service and quality of the food.
Food was really good , staff friendly, overall very good
Dined here before concert at Hard Rock so the bar and restaurant were hopping. Even so, service was good, food quality was very good, and our group enjoyed it immensely!
I've been here more than once, usually with big groups of friends. This was my first time there with a date. It was wonderful. We sat outside, in the cool autumn air. It was fun and still romantic, with the night sky and fireplaces. Everyone there is always so friendly; I always end up meeting people at an adjacent table. The food is really good, and the pretzels are spectacular. It is very casual, comfort food. This is always a great place to stop for a drink/snack after the concerts at The Joint.
Ate here for lunch and dinner food is fresh and excellent. Out door seating was great.
Great choice for Las Vegas locals to choose to meet up with visiting friends. Our friends were staying at the MGM, and we didn't want to park a mile away and wear ourselves out walking through the ginormous Grand. The Hard Rock Hotel is easy to get in and out of, and the restaurant was so delightfully arranged. We didn't even realized there was outdoor dining, but it was simply perfect outside and we had a great table near a little fire pit. Food was tasty, moderately priced and the Smashed Irishman cocktail is going to become a staple at my family gatherings.
We enjoyed Culinary Dropout at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas for dinner during a corporate retreat. The ambience on the patio was wonderful, the service top notch and the food delicious. We were setup on comfortable chairs and couches, we shared appetizers and desserts and really enjoyed our experience.
Waiter was AWESOME ! One of our meals had not been cooked all the way, the waiter got another meal of choice, apologized, and made it right/better! Great desserts, good drinks, good food! Definitely recommend!
We decided to go last minute on a Thursday evening. It wasn't too busy and we had a good table near the windows. It was also far from the speakers that can be a little loud if you want to have a conversation. Our server was great, and when I wanted a second cocktail, but didn't feel like looking for something different, he was able to recommend a great second option. The pretzel fondue appetizer is amazing, especially if you get it for happy hour prices. My husband recommends asking for mustard as well to go with. He order the ribs that had a really good sauce. I got the fish and chips that were really nice and crispy. The service was good, prompt, and friendly. Overall it was a great experience!
Excellent food, very attentive servers and a relaxed atmosphere. We went for my sons 18th birthday and they brought him monkey bread, one of his favorites with a candle for his birthday! The bistro steak was fantastic and prepared exactly the way I like it!
Great Dinner in a great place. Our waitress was amazing and had very good suggestions. If I have to knit pick... I dine out often and I am familiar with portions sizes and what not, I felt that the the portions here could have been bigger specifically with the a la carte anti pasto and entree. Pretzels with cheese fondue OMG, Korean prime Rib the best!!
Having selected the restaurant to eat at because of the name, I asked the waiter about the name and he said there wasn't a story behind it; that it was what they picked out after doing a marketing study. Considered to be high end pub food. I had the 36 hour cooked full rack of ribs with fries and the apple monkey bread with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Really enjoyed the food, the beer and the atmosphere.
Great spot for a group. Pretzels and Chips are a great starter. Everyone loved their food. The French Dip is great - get it with the pretzel cheese! Ribs and fried chicken were also hits with the group. Great spot - we'll be back!

The Slim light & torch is perfect for camping and travelling as well as for use around the house and in the car. The slim light torch has one long light and also a smaller head light with 27 LED bulbs that can be used as a regular torch. The torch has three magnets on the back for attaching to metal surfaces and a fold away hook for easy hanging. The torch and slimline light requires 3 x AAA batteries which are included.
For full terms and conditions please see our Delivery & Returns policy

On the positive side, It's extremely lightweight and the area illumination part of it is very bright. On the other hand, "lightweight" = "very flimsy" and I wouldn't expect it to last long unless treated with the utmost delicacy! Also, the torch/spotlight part of it is disappointingly dim - and the magnets are very feeble indeed.... As it is so lightweight, a maybe for backpackers, but there are better, more robust options out there for the rest of us!!!
28/10/2013 12:12:46
Good device - useful dual functionality between torch and light. The 3 magnets in the handle, for attaching to a steel beam or similar, would have been a good touch if 2 of them hadn't – unknown to me, since I didn't know they were there – fallen out and got lost on the way home.
27/10/2013 19:03:21
Torch is ideal for what I require it to do. However the batteries that came with them ( I bought 2 of them) had no power. that is the only reason that I gave 2 stars
07/10/2012 18:46:56
lightweight simple but very effective.its dual functions are ideal for my usage.even better torch was on 2 for one offer.batteries included so ready to yest and use.
19/10/2013 18:58:23
This product is ideal for my elderly parents to use during the night, and inexpensive enough to have several around the house.
14/11/2013 13:28:37
Reasonable value at half price - would not have paid full price. Will not stand up to hard use but okay for what we want.
03/10/2013 10:57:10
this was a repeat purchase of those wonderful slim torches. They are sturdy and have a lovely bright light.
11/08/2013 16:13:57
Gives a good lot of light with two AAA batteries. Handy for reading, lighting up the kitchen area.
20/07/2013 21:49:11
The product is very light weight and compact but the light given out by the LEDs is very bright
17/08/2013 12:41:27
Nice and slim easy to pack and magnets strong for "sticking" to tent pole!
17/10/2013 15:57:05
Did the job I wanted. Shame they are not in different colours though

My daughter loves this and we may use it to look for bats!
17/02/2013 07:17:11
Good for keeping in the glove compartment of the car
11/08/2013 11:10:30
really useful to hang up in tent for evening light

I was teaching ethics at UConn Law last Spring. One of the secrets of teaching is that your students will always find visitors much more credible than you. So we all bring in guest lecturers. It also saves on preparing teaching notes. But I had a class where the visitors truly did better than I could have ever done.

After a rainy summer day in Buffalo, it gets muggy, so muggy that even the bugs get lazy. After a particular rainy day, about 7 pm when the sunlight is best for garden photography, I went out into my back yard garden to take pictures of the bugs. The bugs were so lazy that they didn't fly or crawl away even with a camera lens shoved in there faces. I always get some good pictures of the bugs, especially fly's, after it rains.

Does anyone still make a ok mono-band 6m radio? It looks like Alinco used to make one. And RCI makes one now(looks kinda chicken bandish)... Any other options?
How about used public service radios? I see the power companies radio's are right under 6m. IS there a GE or motarolia radio out there that could be pushed in to 6m?
Ive been having fun with my little ft817 on six with a basic homebrew antenna but its little 5watts wont do much in mobile and i dont want to leave it in the car. Its worth more then the car itself

KTRS News
Monday, 17 June 2013 11:28 Published in Health & FitnessHer cystic fibrosis was threatening her life, and her case spurred a debate on how to allocate donor organs. Lungs and other organs for transplant are scarce.
But what if there were another way? What if you could grow a custom-made organ in a lab?
It sounds incredible. But just a three-hour drive from the Philadelphia hospital where Sarah got her transplant, another little girl is benefiting from just that sort of technology. Two years ago, Angela Irizarry of Lewisburg, Pa., needed a crucial blood vessel. Researchers built her one in a laboratory, using cells from her own bone marrow. Today the 5-year-old sings, dances and dreams of becoming a firefighter - and a doctor.
Growing lungs and other organs for transplant is still in the future, but scientists are working toward that goal. In North Carolina, a 3-D printer builds prototype kidneys. In several labs, scientists study how to build on the internal scaffolding of hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys of people and pigs to make custom-made implants.
Here's the dream scenario: A patient donates cells, either from a biopsy or maybe just a blood draw. A lab uses them, or cells made from them, to seed onto a scaffold that's shaped like the organ he needs. Then, says Dr. Harald Ott of Massachusetts General Hospital, "we can regenerate an organ that will not be rejected (and can be) grown on demand and transplanted surgically, similar to a donor organ."
That won't happen anytime soon for solid organs like lungs or livers. But as Angela Irizarry's case shows, simpler body parts are already being put into patients as researchers explore the possibilities of the field.
Just a few weeks ago, a girl in Peoria, Ill., got an experimental windpipe that used a synthetic scaffold covered in stem cells from her own bone marrow. More than a dozen patients have had similar operations.
Dozens of people are thriving with experimental bladders made from their own cells, as are more than a dozen who have urethras made from their own bladder tissue. A Swedish girl who got a vein made with her marrow cells to bypass a liver vein blockage in 2011 is still doing well, her surgeon says.
In some cases the idea has even become standard practice. Surgeons can use a patient's own cells, processed in a lab, to repair cartilage in the knee. Burn victims are treated with lab-grown skin.
In 2011, it was Angela Irizarry's turn to wade into the field of tissue engineering.
Angela was born in 2007 with a heart that had only one functional pumping chamber, a potentially lethal condition that leaves the body short of oxygen. Standard treatment involves a series of operations, the last of which implants a blood vessel near the heart to connect a vein to an artery, which effectively rearranges the organ's plumbing.
Yale University surgeons told Angela's parents they could try to create that conduit with bone marrow cells. It had already worked for a series of patients in Japan, but Angela would be the first participant in an American study.
"There was a risk," recalled Angela's mother, Claudia Irizarry. But she and her husband liked the idea that the implant would grow along with Angela, so that it wouldn't have to be replaced later.
So, over 12 hours one day, doctors took bone marrow from Angela and extracted certain cells, seeded them onto a 5-inch-long biodegradable tube, incubated them for two hours, and then implanted the graft into Angela to grow into a blood vessel.
It's been almost two years and Angela is doing well, her mother says. Before the surgery she couldn't run or play without getting tired and turning blue from lack of oxygen, she said. Now, "she is able to have a normal play day."
This seed-and-scaffold approach to creating a body part is not as simple as seeding a lawn. In fact, the researchers in charge of Angela's study had been putting the lab-made blood vessels into people for nearly a decade in Japan before they realized that they were completely wrong in their understanding of what was happening inside the body.
"We'd always assumed we were making blood vessels from the cells we were seeding onto the graft," said Dr. Christopher Breuer, now at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. But then studies in mice showed that in fact, the building blocks were cells that migrated in from other blood vessels. The seeded cells actually died off quickly. "We in essence found out we had done the right thing for the wrong reasons," Breuer said.
Other kinds of implants have also shown that the seeded cells can act as beacons that summon cells from the recipient's body, said William Wagner, director of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. Sometimes that works out fine, but other times it can lead to scarring or inflammation instead, he said. Controlling what happens when an engineered implant interacts with the body is a key challenge, he said.
So far, the lab-grown parts implanted in people have involved fairly simple structures - basically sheets, tubes and hollow containers, notes Anthony Atala of Wake Forest University whose lab also has made scaffolds for noses and ears. Solid internal organs like livers, hearts and kidneys are far more complex to make.
His pioneering lab at Wake Forest is using a 3-D printer to make miniature prototype kidneys, some as small as a half dollar, and other structures for research. Instead of depositing ink, the printer puts down a gel-like biodegradable scaffold plus a mixture of cells to build a kidney layer by layer. Atala expects it will take many years before printed organs find their way into patients.
Another organ-building strategy used by Atala and maybe half a dozen other labs starts with an organ, washes its cells off the inert scaffolding that holds cells together, and then plants that scaffolding with new cells.
"It's almost like taking an apartment building, moving everybody out ... and then really trying to repopulate that apartment building with different cells," says Dr. John LaMattina of the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He's using the approach to build livers. It's the repopulating part that's the most challenging, he adds.
One goal of that process is humanizing pig organs for transplant, by replacing their cells with human ones.
"I believe the future is ... a pig matrix covered with your own cells," says Doris Taylor of the Texas Heart Institute in Houston. She reported creating a rudimentary beating rat heart in 2008 with the cell-replacement technique and is now applying it to a variety of organs.
Ott's lab and the Yale lab of Laura Niklason have used the cell-replacement process to make rat lungs that worked temporarily in those rodents. Now they're thinking bigger, working with pig and human lung scaffolds in the lab. A human lung scaffold, Niklason notes, feels like a handful of Jell-O.
Cell replacement has also worked for kidneys. Ott recently reported that lab-made kidneys in rats didn't perform as well as regular kidneys. But, he said, just a "good enough organ" could get somebody off dialysis. He has just started testing the approach with transplants in pigs.
Ott is also working to grow human cells on human and pig heart scaffolds for study in the laboratory.
There are plenty of challenges with this organ-building approach. One is getting the right cells to build the organ. Cells from the patient's own organ might not be available or usable. So Niklason and others are exploring genetic reprogramming so that, say, blood or skin cells could be turned into appropriate cells for organ-growing.
Others look to stem cells from bone marrow or body fat that could be nudged into becoming the right kinds of cells for particular organs. In the near term, organs might instead be built with donor cells stored in a lab, and the organ recipient would still need anti-rejection drugs.
How long until doctors start testing solid organs in people? Ott hopes to see human studies on some lab-grown organ in five to 10 years. Wagner calls that very optimistic and thinks 15 to 20 years is more realistic. Niklason also forecasts two decades for the first human study of a lung that will work long-term.
But LaMattina figures five to 10 years might be about right for human studies of his specialty, the liver.
"I'm an optimist," he adds. "You have to be an optimist in this job."

SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Manu Ginobili had 24 points and 10 assists in a surprise start to spark the San Antonio Spurs to a 114-104 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night, pushing the Spurs one victory away from their fifth championship.
Danny Green scored 24 points and broke Ray Allen's finals record for 3s in a series with 25. Tony Parker had 26 points for San Antonio.
LeBron James scored 25 points on 8-for-22 shooting for the Heat and Dwyane Wade had 25 points and 10 assists. But the Heat missed 21 of their first 29 shots to fall behind by 17 points in the second quarter of another uninspired performance.
Game 6 of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Miami.
Whirling through the defense like the Manu of old, Ginobili shrugged off a postseason full of disappointment to deliver a performance that the Spurs have never needed more desperately. He hit 8 of 14 shots and had his highest points total since June 4, 2012.
Tim Duncan had 13 points and 11 rebounds, Green was 6 for 10 from 3-point range, and Parker gutted through 36 minutes on that tender right hamstring. Kawhi Leonard had 16 points and eight rebounds, and the San Antonio shot 60 percent to overcome 19 turnovers.
Allen scored 21 points and Chris Bosh had 16 points and six rebounds for the Heat, who were stunned by a vintage Ginobili performance early and never really recovered.
Miami missed 21 of its first 29 shots and Green hit three straight 3s in the middle of the second quarter to tie Allen's record of 22. The Spurs led 47-30 on Duncan's two free throws before the Heat finally showed some fight.
A 12-0 run got them back within striking distance at 47-42 and the Heat surged out of the halftime gates to cut San Antonio's lead to 61-59 in the first 1:17 of the third.
San Antonio pushed right back, getting a jumper from Parker, a 3-pointer from Green that broke Allen's record and a lefty layup from Ginobili to get a little breathing room.
Ginobili closed the third with a twisting, off-balance, left-handed runner and a right-handed drive to the bucket to bring cheers of "Manu! Manu!" from the delirious crowd.
Nowhere to be found in the first four games, and for most of these playoffs, Ginobili had his fingerprints all over the opening of Game 5. He hit a step-back jumper, had two pretty assists on a backdoor cut from Green and a thunderous dunk from Duncan and knocked down two free throws for an early 9-4 lead.
Ginobili's 3-pointer from the wing made it 15-10, bringing the nervous crowd to its feet. The awakening was a welcome sign for the Spurs, who desperately missed their playmaking daredevil.
The Heat reclaimed momentum in Game 4 thanks to a shuffle of the starting lineup by coach Erik Spoelstra, who moved sharp-shooter Mike Miller into the starting lineup in Udonis Haslem's place, giving Miami a smaller lineup that spaced the floor better and gave James and Wade room to operate.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich made a move to match that on Sunday night, putting the struggling Ginobili in for center Tiago Splitter. Ginobili was averaging 7.5 points in the first four games and shooting 34 percent. In the final year of his deal, the soon-to-be 36-year-old was asked about retirement on Saturday.
The crowd roared for Ginobili when he was introduced last, with one banner reading "We still Gino-believe!"
Wade had endured a similarly quiet start to these finals before erupting for 32 points and six steals in Miami's Game 4 victory that evened the series. That carried over to the opening quarter of Game 5, when Wade's assertive play helped Miami withstand Ginobili's initial haymaker.
Wade's trademark euro-step on the break and two free throws kept the game tight and James hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 17 with under 5 minutes to play in the period.
The two teams entered Game 5 riding a pendulum of momentum that was swinging wildly back and forth over the previous three games. A classic, air-tight Game 1 victory by the Spurs gave way to three blowouts - Miami by 19 in Game 1, San Antonio by 36 in Game 3 and the Heat by 16 in Game 4.
The volatility made it difficult for either team to feel like it had a grip on expectations heading into the pivotal Game 5, but the Heat did appear to finally assert themselves with a dominant performance from their three All-Stars on Thursday night.
James, Wade and Bosh broke out of a series-long malaise to combine for 85 points, 30 rebounds and 10 steals, finally finding a way to get to the rim against the paint-clogging Spurs defense.
But for a team as talented and experienced as they are, these Heat have shown a maddening inconsistency over the last month. The team that won 27 straight during the regular season came into the game having going 11 straight games without winning two in a row.
There was so much more riding on this game for the Spurs than the Heat, who reclaimed homecourt advantage with their decisive victory in Game 4. Under the current 2-3-2 format that was adopted in 1985, no visiting team has won both Games 6 and 7 on the road in the finals.
And the Spurs played with more urgency from the start.
Now the Heat's backs are against the wall one more time. And it was Ginobili who put them there.
MIAMI (AP) -- Maybe the St. Louis Cardinals were looking ahead to the Chicago Cubs.
In a matchup of worst versus first, NL Central leader St. Louis mustered only five hits Sunday and lost to the woeful Miami Marlins. 7-2.
The Cardinals dropped two of three games in Miami - the first series they've lost since April 26-28 against Pittsburgh. They went 5-4 on a three-city trip and open a homestand Monday against the traditional rival Cubs.
The Marlins climbed above .300 at 21-47, still baseball's worst record.
"We didn't see it," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "The team we saw is hitting the ball and making good pitches."
The Cardinals didn't do enough of either. Tyler Lyons (2-3), making his fifth major league start, lost for the third time in a row after winning his first two decisions.
Lyons gave up six runs in 5 1-3 innings.
"I made some mistakes with guys on base," the rookie said.
The Cardinals, who have the lowest ERA in the majors, gave up 19 runs in the series. Meanwhile, they managed just three hits and one run against Ricky Nolasco, who pitched seven innings.
St. Louis scored a run in the ninth and loaded the bases with two out, but Steve Cishek came to strike out pinch-hitter Matt Holliday looking to end the game.
Matheny liked the comeback bid.
"These guys have always shown that - they don't give up," Matheny said. "They keep coming. That will pay off in the long run."
Aside from the ninth inning, the Cardinals did little. All of their hits were singles, and with Holliday and NL batting leader Yadier Molina out of the starting lineup and given a day to rest, St. Louis went down in order in five of the first six innings.
Carlos Beltran finished 0 for 4 to end the longest active hitting streak in the majors at 14 games. Matt Carpenter was also hitless and went 7 for 38 (.184) on the trip.
Jon Jay and Matt Adams drove in St. Louis' runs. Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton made a leaping catch at the fence to rob Adams of an RBI and an extra-base hit in the seventh.
"With that lineup, probably among the top three in the league, you just have to stay focused," Nolasco said. "You can't lose concentration and leave balls over the middle, because they're just going to start crushing you. I was able to get away with some balls that they hit hard, and we had great defense at the same time, so it worked out."
A bout of wildness against the bottom of the order cost Lyons in the fourth inning. He hit Jeff Mathis, who was batting .128, and then Nolasco walked for the first time this year to load the bases. Juan Pierre followed with a two-out, two-run single for a 4-1 Miami lead.
Placido Polanco had three hits starting for the first time in five games after being sidelined by back stiffness. His two-out, two-run double in the fifth made it 6-1.
The abundance of offense was a refreshing change for Nolasco (4-7), who has endured the worst run support of any pitcher with at least 14 starts. Luxuriating in an early lead, he retired 11 in a row during one stretch.
"It helps a ton," he said. "It just changes everything and the way you pitch and your approach."
Pierre drove in two runs and had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 12 games, while Justin Ruggiano added a two-RBI single. The Marlins have won eight of the past 14 games, their best stretch this season.
"To get a win against such a great team and a great lineup, and to play as well as we did, that's a great day for all of us," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said.
NOTES: Miami 1B Logan Morrison (back) took grounders before the game but sat out for the third day in a row. ... Lyons' six strikeouts were a career high. ... The crowd of 18,468 was the largest of the homestand. ... David Freese had one hit, but his lifetime average against the Marlins fell to .462 (18 for 39).
