This stuff is a winner. It is a solid daily fragrance for the workplace or casual environs. The subtle scent suggests that you have taken care in selection of an appropriate fragrance that is pleasing but not overpowering. I get asked all the time what it is I'm wearing when standing in lines (no I don't wear too much) and folks really seem to like it as much as me. Just the right blend of citrus and manliness.
I already use the original John Varvatos cologne so I was excited to try this, and it is really nice, my wife agrees. I think I prefer the original though, maybe just because it's my usual smell. Creature of habit I guess.
My wife loves John Varvatos Star U.S.A., Therefore I love it! It is a refreshing scent that lasts all day and is not overpowering like a lot of other colognes.
It smells nice and my boyfriend likes it, but we would not pay over $60 for a cologne. If you are in the mood to splurge then I say go for it.
I get a lot of compliments on this cologne. It lasts all day and smells very masculine without being overpowering. It's a perfect fall/winter scent.
Everything as expected. The cologne arrived as promised - smells outstanding. Cool design ad packaging. Excellent value. I love to smell my hubby now.
I really enjoyed this cologne. It doesn't take much, it smells great and lasts all day. It was nice getting several compliments, some from total strangers.
This smell was decent. The trial size and packaging was good. Smell was a little too crisp for me.
Smelled good. I'm used to wearing Axe so when I wore this the girlfriend said it smelled good and "manly". If it's girlfriend approved it;s James approved. Not too musky either.
Great smelling cologne - not overpowering, but it smells classy and unique. I hate having the same product as everyone else, this stuff will set you apart from the crowd without being obnoxious. One spray on the chest, one on the wrists and you're set to smell great all night. It has staying power.

Fish catches man dangling bait over Florida dock
YouTube video titled "Fish Grabs Man's Arm and tries to eat him for Dangling it above Water"
(Photo courtesy: YouTube)
Posted: 01/14/2013
Last Updated:
333 days ago
This guy fishing off a dock in Florida may not be doing it right, but it certainly worked.
You can see the man dangle a piece of bait over the water, trying to lure a fish toward him.
In the background you can hear a woman shout "Here it comes, Billy!"
Watch as the gigantic tarpon leaps from the water and latches onto his arm:
The man wriggles and wrestles to free himself from the massive fish and pull it up on the dock.
"Baby, get him!" a woman yells.
But the tarpon flips and flops back into the water.
Perhaps he should try a rod and reel next time.

Passengers' experiences aboard the Titanic
To mark the 100 year commemoration of the sinking of the Titanic, pupils can take part in our new virtual classroom session about the voyage of this fateful ship.
Using original documents from our collection that chart the experiences of real passengers, pupils can find out what it would have been like travelling first class and how this experience compared to that of third class. They will study the emergency telegrams that were sent from the ship as she was sinking, as well as press cuttings and government reports about the disaster.
Using all of the information that they have gathered during the session, pupils will then write letters as though they are passengers onboard Titanic, describing their experiences before disaster strikes.
A pack of preparation materials and guidance for follow-up work will be made available to pupils in advance of the session.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rarely do you see a single vineyard Cabernet at this price. Juicy, full and forward, this wine is packed with red cherry fruit up front and beautiful notes of tar and sweet leather on the finish. An amazing wine for the price!"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is a structured, fruity wine that has ripe strawberry and red plum flavors. Its tannins are condensed at the core, and the finish is marked by refreshing acidity. The vineyard is wholly owned by Faiveley."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Aromas of blueberries and minerals, with hints of flowers. Full body, with silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Chewy, yet polished."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... The rich, round and velvety flavors are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that coats the mouth and buffers the tannins on the firm and exceptionally long finish where, like the Bressandes, the wood resurfaces. This classic Clos du Roi is built to age..."

New Zealand's women swept to a 3-0 series win over England on Saturday thanks to an emphatic 29-8 victory in Pukekohe.
The world champions outscored the tourists four tries to one at ECOLight Stadium in a dominant display to follow up their 29-10 win in the first Test in Auckland last Saturday and 14-9 in the second in Hamilton on Tuesday.
Claire Richardson, Aroha Savage, Selica Winiata and Kendra Cocksedge all touched down for the hosts, who led 17-3 at half-time.
Rochelle Clark scored England's solitary try on her 80th appearance at the start of the second half but it was not enough to deny New Zealand, despite another tense struggle up front.
In the end, the Kiwis had too much class for the tourists in the backline. England led 6-0 early on but New Zealand bounced back in style, scoring 17 unanswered points as they dominated the rest of the first half, crossing for tries scored via centre Richardson and flanker Savage.
Fly-half Kelly Brazier had a hand in both tries and converted them both as part of her nine-point haul.
England refused to give up though and they reduced the gap to nine points when a good line-out and drive allowed prop Clark to crash over.
However, full-back Winiata restored the 14-point lead when she finished off a fine backline move to make it 22-8.
England then lost Harriet Millar-Mills to the sin bin and New Zealand, once again, finished strongly with Cocksedge going over for a last-minute try that she also converted to complete the scoring.

The boys' mother told detectives that she was watching TV when she heard a commotion. She went to check on the boys and saw Zavala choking one of them.
Police found one boy dead on a patio. The other was found dead in the kitchen. Police say Zavala was found dead in the kitchen of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Police say no abuse or domestic violence had been reported at the home. The couple also has a 19-year-old son.

Big Sugar Tries to Protect Its Sweet Deal from "Big Candy"
We've written about the outrageous sugar import quotas here many times. And Chris Edwards wrote in March about the American Sugar Alliance's ad in the Washington Post titled "Big Candy's Greed." But we couldn't link to the ad because for some reason the American Sugar Alliance has not chosen to put a version of the ad on its website. But the Alliance ran its expensive quarter-page ad in the Post last week, so we're now able to provide the public service of making it available online.
IRS's Soaring Budget and Refundable Tax Credits
Chris Edwards showed that the Internal Revenue Service's budget has been soaring and the main culprit is refundable tax credits. The magnitude of refundable tax cuts is obfuscated in the IRS's budget because only the refunded portion of the credit shows up as an outlay —the rest is recorded as a reduction in revenues.
IRS Budget Soars
The revelations of IRS officials targeting conservative and libertarian groups suggest that now is a good time for lawmakers to review a broad range of the agency's activities. Since the agency's last overhaul in the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, its budget has exploded from $33 billion to a proposed $106 billion in 2013.
Farmers Starting to Resent Strings Attached to Subsidies
Last week, farming and some conservation groups announced that they had come to a deal to link eligibility for crop insurance premium subsidies to compliance with conservation measures. In return, in one of the great sell-outs in modern times, the conservation groups agreed not to push for payment limits or means testing on farm subsidies.
Barro and de Rugy on Defense Spending and the Economy
Earlier this week, Harvard economist Robert Barro and Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center published a short paper assessing the economic effects of defense spending. Their findings are consistent with those of other studies, including one that Cato published last year by Benjamin Zycher. To wit, from Barro and de Rugy's abstract:

Last week I discussed the tendency for policymakers to treat the Pentagon like a giant jobs program. It was prompted by an article from the Associated Press on members of Congress shoving unwanted upgraded Abrams tanks down taxpayers' throats because retooling tanks sustains jobs back in the district. As it turns out, former Reagan budget director David Stockman touches on the Abrams tank situation in his new book, The Great Deformation.
Krugman's Still Wrong
Paul Krugman has never been shy about proclaiming that he is right and everyone else is wrong — and not just wrong, but "knaves and fools." Lately, however, one begins to worry that he might actually hurt himself, so vigorously has he been patting himself on the back for his opposition to "austerity" (defined as any cut in government spending, anytime, anywhere).

Washington Sport: Throwing Competitors under the Bus

CNN's Chief National Correspondent John King noted that history shows popular politicians can overcome links to scandal.
In 1988, Democrats tried to use the Iran-Contra scandal of the Reagan administration, which involved weapons sales to Iran that funded anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua, against then-Vice President George H.W. Bush, he said.
The scandal involved an attempted cover-up, televised congressional hearings, criminal charges and resignations, but in the end, Bush won the presidential vote.

I've always been curious about this: What is the grammatical reason for 的 at the end of these short responses?
Can someone shed some light on it for me?
I've always been curious about this: What is the grammatical reason for 的 at the end of these short responses? Q: 這樣好嗎? A: 好的。 Q: 你是美國人嗎? A: 是的。 Q: 你會彈鋼琴嗎? A: 會的。 Can someone shed some light on it for me? |
的: positive response? Not exactly!The function of I think it's not proper to literally translate is a positive response, a negative response in the 是...的 structure perfectly make sense too! The 是...的 structure has been well studied in this question. See golddc and 孤影萍踪's answer. 的 in a short answerCome back to OP's question. Indeed, when 的 is used in a short answer, it's generally a positive answer. But I would rather say, this effect is related to psychology. Most of the time, we tend to be confident to give a positive response; however on the contrary, a negative response is seldom stated with confidence. The grammar is perfect in this sentence, but it would sound like: You would feel such an answer sounds cynic. For a neutral question (I mean, whether a "yes" or a "no" answer won't be specially expected), a negative response with confidence is commonly used too. It is grammatically perfect and sounds right. ConclusionIn Chinese, | |||||
的 has different meanings, but in your examples, all three 的 are auxiliary words. In general, it should be located at the end of sentence, indicating a positive response. For more info, please check online Chinese dict 汉典: http://www.zdic.net/z/1f/js/7684.htm | |||||||||||||||||||||
I think there is the grammatical and dictionary version of the explanation, but also you can look at it from the way people talk in everyday life. In my experience, omitting 的 at the end of a response seems to cut the response short, as if someone is either given a short response, like 會 (yep) versus 會的 (I can/I know); 是 (yes) versus 是的 (that's correct). The other way to look at it is to express a more affirmative mood as described above by Stan. | |||||

KALISPELL - A teen boy who had been reported missing since Thursday morning has now been found safe.
Details are limited, but a reporter has verified that 12-year-old Alex Gross was hiding in a relative's house in Columbia Falls.
Gross' parents, Shean and Ralyss, were notified Thursday that their son had walked out of school after allegedly being found with drug paraphernalia.
Earlier today, Shean Gross had said he just wanted his son found okay.

When researching whether to trade a market, the most important factor for commodity trading advisors (CTAs) is liquidity. Volume and open interest are perhaps the best tangible measures of liquidity but they aren't the same thing as liquidity. This is best measured by the ease with which a trader can execute high volumes at one price without causing the market to move against them, or slippage.
When commodity markets made the transition a couple years ago to electronic platforms from open outcry, it led to increased volume and open interest. But despite added volume, some CTAs have noticed that it has not been as easy to execute large orders. And if those CTAs had models that called for them to enter on stops, there was added danger. When stops are initiated and there are no standing orders in queue, the market can move against you rapidly.
This is less of a problem in the ultra liquid financial markets, but all other markets are affected. "The less liquid a market is, the more apt you are to fish out a stop and run something," says Jon Thompson, VP of trading at Fall River Capital. "It is kind of tough in the bonds or the S&Ps to fish out a stop. But certainly ags, energies and some of the markets that are less liquid, if you fish stops out then they run."
Most managers we speak to either use stop limits or have eliminated the use of stops altogether. If their entries are triggered by price ala a stop, managers will execute orders with discretion rather then face a possible cascading stop environment. "I don't use stops. I would rather take the risk of having to rework the order than I would of having a stop that is significantly away from my risk parameters," says CTA Gordon Linn.
CTA Richard Crow says, "I find the electronic system has created more volatility to the markets. The executed orders that we have to live with are not as good as what we would have experienced three years ago."
Linn adds, "These are not necessarily high volatility markets, but they are high velocity markets. The point is when you can't control your risk, you reduce size because you have to control the number of dollars you are going to use."
WHY less liquid?
Since most markets have seen an uptick in volume, the question is why hasn't that helped liquidity. A look at an electronic market gives you a clue (see "Is that all there is?"). At any give time, there is not a lot of size shown. Some bids and offers could represent traders willing to do more but unwilling to show it, but you don't know. They could also represent stops with more size that could cause a big move.
"Take [Nymex unleaded gas], it is doing more volume than it has ever done, but right now I am looking at the book and you go between $1.8928 and $1.8900," Thompson says. "If you sold 10 lots based on the depth that you see in the market, you would bring down the market 30 ticks. I see a one lot, a seven lot, a one lot, a one lot, a one lot and a one lot."
Linn says, "The little trader is deceived by that. They look at these ladders and they think they have some sort of feeling of what is there. [That's] baloney. You don't."
Crow has found it harder to execute size. "If you wanted to do size in the pit, you had more tools at your disposal." He says locals knew they could take the opposite side and spread it off in another month. "You could lay it off simultaneously [with people spreading] in the pits. [Now], if you want to do size, hit the button and say go get it, it could run 30¢. Before, the spreaders in the pits were there to do some form of differential. You don't have the mechanisms readily available to you to execute size."
CTA Stanley Haar says, "It is tough to measure. In theory, in the electronic pits there shouldn't be slippage. The market is what it is and the orders are all out there and you are not subject to the whims or mercy of the
execution broker."
But the problem is that traders don't like to show their hand. "It makes a situation where you have to be more cautious because if you don't have the volume on the electronic trade, the market will rush into these vacuums and move more substantially than they seemed to back in the old days of the pit," Haar says.
Managers have gone to some defensive measures like placing iceberg orders. Icebergs show a certain amount of size at a time, but not the whole order. If a manager has 100 to buy, the algorithm will show 10 at a time until the whole 100 are filled. This can be entered as a limit or stop.
It is debatable whether icebergs are a solution or part of the problem. "We use icebergs, but at the end of the day it is hard to tell how much they help or don't," says Thompson.
Fall River executes some of its orders themselves and uses brokers for others. "We do have an electronic platform in house and we do execute through FCMs. The people working those trading desks are convinced [that icebergs work]. They are all afraid to show size. Every time I give them size they say 'I'll iceberg it, I'll iceberg it.' Part of me thinks it is their way to make you think that they are really working for you. At the end of the day I am not sure how much it really helps."
And Thompson is not the only one. "I would almost prefer not having icebergs," Linn says. "You should have to show your size. Show it. If you want to move it, move it. The floor to some degree showed its size all of the time. It made for a more fluid market."
Haar agrees. "The locals, or so it seemed, acted a little more as a buffer. They knew who else had size in the pits. They would work the orders, meaning they would take a little discretion. That seemed to make for a smoother
trading environment."
While icebergs prevent the rest of the world from knowing your intentions, sometimes that is not a good thing. "I think you mislead a big part of the market that does not understand the price ladders and the depth of market," Linn says. "You don't have a clue if you are looking down on 10 numbers — one lots or five lots — you don't know if there are 50 there or 5,000."
He says someone could be looking to do similar size a couple ticks away and would be willing to move towards your price, but they don't see it. They won't move towards you if they aren't confident there is sufficient size to get filled. They are afraid of chasing
the market.
Managers also worry that short-term algorithmic trading programs can spot icebergs and take advantage of them. "We know that there are so many other programs and algorithms that people are trying to pick up and identify when there are orders out there and that is why all these programs have icebergs," Haar says.
He is skeptical that such order types can prevent algorithmic traders from spotting orders.
"There are people out there that are using more sophisticated systems than we are who might be able to identify something like [icebergs], so in general it would be a disadvantage," he says.
It is a sort of algorithmic arms race, with different types of traders looking for ways to hide orders and others trying to detect them. It turns the price discovery purpose of markets around.
Thompson has explored using TWOP (time weighted average price) and VWOP (volume weighted average price) trades to get away from using stops and protecting against pockets of illiquidity. In the end he is not convinced they are the way to go.
Haar says, "Part of the problem is electronic trading systems operate at a higher speed than the human brain operates, so you have no time to react to anything."
Linn says, "I found it interesting that one of the big guys told me that they had 40 quant guys working on various programs and implementing them within their trading scheme; 40 mathematicians writing their
programs, many of which were 15-minute programs. The point is, things are changing and you have to adapt to them."
It is not that managers are pining for the old days. Most wouldn't go back, even if they could. "I am not under any illusion that the old days were totally better in terms of costs. The pit brokers took their tick or two out of the market to get an order filled so it wasn't necessarily a lower cost environment," Haar says. "But it is trickier if you want to do size and if you want to do it quickly you can run into problems in the pure electronic trading. And therefore if you try and push it too much when the volume is not there you can get screwed."
The increased volatility and velocity of markets cannot simply be attributed to electronic matching and short-term traders. At roughly the same time that commodity markets were making the transition to electronic trading, the phenomenon of index funds was occurring.
While the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index had been available as an investable index for some time, it along with other index funds experienced huge growth throughout the decade. Commodity imbalances and a rapidly weakening dollar led to concerns over an uptick in inflation and long exposure to a basket of commodities was promoted as a hedge against the onset of inflation.
These index funds represented a new type of trader in commodity markets. The funds would enter at a predetermined time and roll their long positions month to month based on specifications of the index. These positions were not subject to the same price pressures as your typical hedgers and speculators as they represented a small allocation of a much larger portfolio. They have changed the nature of some fundamental spread relationships and offered headaches and opportunities to the traditional market participant. The amount of money dedicated to long only commodity indexes was estimated to be $15 billion in 2003, by 2008 estimates of the size of that space grew to between $200 and 300 billion.
The political pressures placed on the market based on those who would place the blame on speculators have led to some pretty significant and outright wacky recommendations.
"They are interviewing people in the government every day. It creates this nature where people reduce their size and their liquidity goes down and everybody loses," Linn says.
There also is the problem of fat fingered mistakes and trading on
money flow.
"Sometimes they are errors and sometimes they are more tactical errors in terms of the person placing too big of an order without a limit and if you hit a vacuum or the wrong part of the day, it could be brutal," Haar says.
It got brutal in March corn on Dec. 30. Linn noticed what appeared to be a fat fingered error — supposedly a clerk placing 5,000 lot instead of 500 — shortly after the open (see "Oops"). "I had orders in to buy and was executed," Linn says. "If I was long the market and went through my risk point, what would I do? Most of the time I wouldn't exit out. I would look at the trade and say 'that is stupid.'"
However, that is a tough call to make when it is your money flying away. There undoubtedly were traders who were stopped out and took significant losses only because perhaps an inexperienced clerk was working a trading desk over the holidays.
Linn says, "The environment created is one of a very spastic nature where we move in a direction very quickly and then don't follow through the next day. You tend to blow through your risk parameters very easily."
There are a number of factors that have made life more difficult for systematic traders, including extreme volatility, political and regulatory pressure and index fund activity. Electronic matching has made the industry more efficient and has cut costs. These efficiencies have led to new types of trading strategies that has also changed the nature of the game. The anonymity provided by electronic venues has led to less certainty. While some of the changes have benefited managers, others have made for a more risky environment.
There were always traders looking to run stops, but they also were dedicated to providing deep two-sided markets. Managers and hedgers may have had to give up an edge, but they knew there was someone willing to stand up and make a market.
The purpose of futures markets is risk transference and price discovery. To discover prices, traders need to show them and to transfer risk one must see a price.
"All markets evolve. This will straighten out when people understand what is going on and have a good feel, or they will simply lose their money and go away because markets that are spastic like this are almost meant to take the money away from the uninformed who think they can be smart enough to trade this type of market," Linn says.
Locals provided an important service and while there is no going back, progress always comes with a cost.
"Sometimes you have to be careful," Linn says. "The markets screamed to kill the goose of the middlemen, thinking that he was making a fortune and provided no function. In fact, now they are seeing that he indeed did provide a stability function and execution function that was extremely important."

Nani's Ristorante & Bar
Online Reservations
We were a group of 10, and everyone really enjoyed their meal. The favorites were the lamb shank, gnocchi, and house-made pasta with house-made sausage. We always have a great meal when we visit Jackson and come to Nani's. See you next time!
Homemade pasta & a splendid wine. The sauces on our different pasta were very good - one with a very rich tomato based sauce, with cured ham and the other a lemon-based creme sauce. The only complaint with the food was the otherwise excellent prosciutto and melon. The melon was beautifully sweet, but cut too close to the rind, so that there was a hard, bitter edge. Two millimeters from perfection. The decor is warm, beautifully done, with a kind of rough hewn quality. One small quibble: For such a lovely place, the silverware was not. It was light in the hand, and the forks were small, like you'd get in a thrift store.
We enjoyed our meal here very much. The homemade pasta was fabulous, wine was delicious. The service was spot on, very attentive. We've been to Italy and this compared favorably.
Bustling patio crowd, good food, and a good menu. Service was prompt, courteous, and not ingratiating or overly familiar. Food was quite good. I had a delicious fig cream pasta, my hubbie had capellini with shrimp. Wine was great. Salads were standard but well prepared.
We always dine inside, and this night was the perfect example of why. It was extremely windy outside and yet people wanted to eat out there. They were seated and then changed their minds. We were seated inside near the door. There was a constant parade of staff and guests going in and out. We were buffeted by the wind and the door slammed several times and all in all this was pretty annoying. Fortunately our server was excellent and in fairness to the staff, they did try and get the outdoor situation resolved as quickly as possible. They might want to pay closer attention to weather forecasts in the future.
Nani's has a fine wine list, excellent Italian menu, great bread, amiable and professional service--it's within walking distance of the little downtown motel where my wife and I stay when we visit Jackson, WY. It feels like the place is run with care. Both times we've been there have been very nice, very fine.
We stumbled across Nani's while walking the streets of Jackson Hole and we looked at the charming restaurant and menu and wished we could have eaten there that night - however, we already had reservations. So we made reservations for the following night and could not have been happier. We were warmly greeted by the hostess who asked us if we wanted an inside or outside table and since the weather was beautiful we chose outside. The patio was lovely with flower baskets and comfortable table and chairs. Our waiter was amazing and very informative on the menu selections and steered us in a direction that suited our mood that night for wine and for the entrees. The homemade pasta's were to die for and I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Nani's offers a solid wine list and homemade pastas. The pastas are delicious and more than typical Italian food offerings. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. My only complaint is that our waiter was very brusque. Not the friendliest guy. Good meal though and we will return.
I got to Jackson as part of a road-trip and had to spontaneously pick a restaurant, so I found this restaurant through OpenTable, and it turned out to be a great choice! Bread coupled with the entree was enough to be fulfilling, and the ambiance was quite and peaceful, especially in the midst of road-trip days while I've been eating fast food endlessly. It was a great way to get a feel for this city in the wilderness!
We hosted a birthday party for a large group and the service was excellent. Appropriate food items and portions were suggested and selected. The wine list offered quality choices in a reasonable price range. It was a pleasant evening for all.
Nani's has excellent Italian food. The house made pasta is a definite plus.
Group of six had wonderful dining experience. Nice selection of wine for pairing and at good price. Seated outside and truly enjoyable time. Would recommend highly.
Nani's is one of our Jackson favorites, with fairly simple but good Italian food. The homemade pasta is always good with any of the dishes.
This was our second visit to Nani's. The homemade pasta is delicious, though portions are large enough to share which we will do next time, though they charge an extra $5 to do so. Arugula salad with melon and proscuitto with lemon dressing is a keeper. Homemade gelato and sorbets very fresh and fruity. Will go again the next time we are in the area. Enjoy!
We were in Jackson Hole for 9 days. This was by far the best service we had the entire time. Ask for Heather. The food was outstanding. The atmosphere is moderate...nice, but nothing over the top or fancy. Outdoor seating is very nice. I wish we had eaten at Nani's earlier in our week so we could have gone again. I go annually to JH and this will be on the most do list again.
Reservations are normally required. Was able to get reservation same night as request. Definitely worth the extra time.
On our last night in Jackson Hole, we selected Nani's. We were seated promptly, and presented with a basket of delicious home-made breads. Our salads were superb! Hers was the garganzola with pancetta on organic romaine (very tasty). Mine was proscuitto and cantaloupe over fresh arugula. Our mains were also superb. Hers had eggplant with mushrooms and a house special sauce, and mine was made with home made sausage and penne. We almost finished the huge portions, and had no room left for dessert. Our server was super! He made great recommendations when we asked and kept the great service up thoughout the evening. Overall, this was an excellent restaurant and a great choice for truly delicious home made food. I would return in a heartbeat!
Nani's is an excellent choice. I had the lamb chops and my wife a filet. Excellent. If your in Jackson Hole its a great place to eat.!! There are 2 restaurants in Jackson that are a must. Snake River Grill and Nani's. Its worth your trip. Go to Bubbas for breakfast.......!!
Family run neighborhood Italian wonderful food homemade pastas
My family really enjoyed Nani's. The food and wine was delicious. Our waiter gave us great service. Prices were reasonable too.
A true European fare. Outstanding food, outstanding wine list. Great service!!
But don't order the fried risotto balls; they were dry, tasteless and overpriced. The spicy sausage penne was tasty and the portion was perfect. Our waiter was courteous and attentive.
We shared 2 appetizers; The Gorgonzola salad and the mozzarella buffalo with olives and prosciutto. The later was excellent and to be highly recommended. For main courses my wife has the fig pasta that was outstanding and I had the carbonara and it was very good. Serving sizes were on the large side. For dessert we shared a mid sized tiramisu that was enormous. The wine list is moderate while wines by the glass were quite expensive. We had a bottle of Chianti for $29. The total bill with tip came to ~$115 which is typical for a mid priced restaurant in Jackson. I recommend Nani's, it is very good but if you want an exceptional Italian dining experience then try IL Villaggio Osteria in Teton Village but expect to pay nearly twice as much.
I live in Jackson and have been to Nani's on several occasions throughout the years. They are consistent in providing wonderful flavors, presentation and service. It had been a while since my last visit so I was hoping it would be as good as I remembered. This visit far exceeded my expectations! It was almost like the restaurant had bumped up their flavors and presentation a notch from previous visits (which were already excellent). Our server Thom was attentive, friendly and made excellent recommendations. Even the bus staff was on point making sure our waters were full and that we had lots of fresh bread (yum!). If you are looking for a nice meal in Jackson with an environment that is upscale but not stuffy, I recommend Nani's.
They called it "square spaghetti" (Spaghetti alla chitarra) and it was freshly made and excellent in their pasta fichi. The eggplant parmesan was very good and the alfredo sauce outstanding. The warm, fresh flatbread and wholegrain peasant bread were delicious with their good olive oil and balsamic. It was wonderful to find many options for "gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan" diners. We are looking forward to returning to Nani's on our next visit to Jackson. Our only disappointment: their gnocchi is apparently only available in the winter and we missed it...
First place that my boyfriend took me to for a romantic dinner. The food was amazing, the staff was great, the ambiance was perfect and we enjoyed every bite and moment. We go back around our anniversary every year for sure but also try and get there a couple more times throughout the year to treat a friend or just relax and enjoy a great dinner. We have a limoncello in place of dessert usually as a traditional celebration ourselves but know that the desserts are just as amazing as the food. Always great food and great staff, our personal favorite waitstaff is Zeke. Love that Nani's does their own sausage now and is so flavorful. Very well done and always look forward to our next visit !

The Work and the Glory, Vol. 4: Thy Gold to Refine (Book on CD)
by Gerald N. Lund
List Price
✔ IN STOCK: Ships in 2 to 3 business days
Domestic and International Shipping Options
Other Formats Available
Product Description
"The Lord said he would raise up a pure people. For what, Benjamin? Why does the Lord need a pure people?"
Benjamin stared into Joseph's steady gaze for several seconds, then understanding came with absolute clarity. "Because there is yet work to be done," he said in awe.
Joseph laughted softly. "That is exactly what I concluded. There is still much to be done. We have to establish the kingdom of God on the earth so that the kingdom of heaven may come. That takes men and women who have iron faith and steel in their commitment to the Lord." He put both hands on Benjamin's shoulders. "And if the Lord has to take us through the fires to find enough metal to do the job, then I say, let the fires begin. I, for one, am ready."
In Thy Gold to Refine, volume 4 in the series The Work and the Glory, the story of the fictional Steed family enters one of the stormiest and yet most inspiring periods in Church history.
Picking up where Volume 3 left off in the summer of 1838, this book finds the Steeds, (all but daughter Melissa and her family) happily reunited in Far West, Missouri, only to be thrown into a maelstrom of intense and tragic events: the election-day battle at Gallatin; the siege of DeWitt; the Battle of Crooked River; the issuing of Governor Bogg's extermination order; the Haun's Mill massacre; the fall of Far West; the incarceration of the Prophet Joseph Smith; and the expulsion from Missouri. Characters whom readers have come to know and love from previous volumes return here, including Joshua Steed, who, although reconciled to his family now, finds that his commission in the Missouri state militia forces him to be alighted with those opposing the Mormons.
Once again author Gerald Lund skillfully recreates dramatic scenes from Latter-day Saint history, transporting readers back in time to witness soul-stirring events and to meet unforgettable people. Readers of The Work and the Glory may well find that this new volume — with its powerful account of endurance and faith refined by the fires of affliction &is the most engaging and moving installment in the series so far.
About the Author
Elder Gerald N. Lund received his B.A. and M.S. degrees in sociology from Brigham Young University. He also did extensive graduate work in New Testament studies at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles, California, and studies Hebrew at the University of Judaism in Hollywood, California.

His Church callings have included serving as stake president, bishop, and teacher. Elder Lund served as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy from 2002 to 2008.
Elder Lund is a prolific author; his novels include the Work and the Glory series, the Kingdom and the Crown trilogy, Fire of the Covenant, and The Undaunted. He has also written several books on gospel topics, including Hearing the Voice of the Lord and Divine Signatures.
He and his wife, Lynn, are the parents of seven children. For more information, please visit Gerald Lund's website (Click Here)
Beautifully written
by Belinda - reviewed on October 02, 2008
this was my favourite book in the series, it covered terrible parts of the churches hisory but you could feel the strenght of the saints as they endured such hard times. This is a great series to complement studying church history.
by Ashley - reviewed on October 22, 2008
At times you want to smile and laugh, other times you weep with the Saints and all of their hardships. This novel tells of a very dark time in the Church's history, yet you still feel the light of faith and hope which kept them going.
Great Teachings
by Betty - reviewed on November 12, 2008
This book is one of my favorite in the series, because it talks of Far West and how we as Latter-day Saints, have to become pure, we have to go through the refiners fire before the Lord will let us redeem Zion. It gives me inspiration to get plugging along even when I think that I will never make it through my trials.

The Canadian company was the highest bidder. They currently produce licenses for Virginia.
The deal means taxpayers are on the hook for an extra $38 million.
The comptroller's office tells NewsChannel 13 that it's the best value solution proposed for the state.

Metropolitan Police to introduce automated bomb threat phoneline
A spokesman for the Metropolitan police announced the introduction of a dedicated, automated bomb alert phoneline today. The phoneline, which will be an 0845 number, should be introduced by the end of the month.
'Since we outsourced all emergency '999′ calls to our call centre in Mumbai, we noticed some alarming statistics. Customers wishing to make a coded bomb threat were leaving negative feedback about the way their calls were dealt with,' explained Chief Inspector Townsend. 'The call centre staff just couldn't understand many of the thick, Irish accents, or the plummy, nasal tones of animal rights extremists.'

Current & Upcoming Films
Part biography, part live performance, BEAUTY IS EMBARRASSING tells the irreverent and inspiring story of this one-of-a-kind visual artist and raconteur. The film traces White's career from an underground cartoonist in the East Village to his big break as a designer, puppeteer and voice-over actor on Pee Wee's Playhouse for which he won three Emmy's. It follows Wayne's success designing and animating for other children's shows like Beakman's World and The Weird Al Show and music videos for Peter Gabriel ("Big Time") and Smashing Pumpkins ("Tonight, Tonight") through a dark period of struggle and self-reflection before emerging in his present-day incarnation as a respected painter and performer. The film, like White, embraces the ragged edges and messy contradictions of life, art, and family with rabid humor and honesty. Dir: Neil Berkeley. Featuring Wayne White, Mimi Pond, Mark Motherbaugh, Todd Oldham, Matt Groening, Gary Panter and Paul Reubens. 2012. Digital. 87 mins. Nightly at 7pm & 8:45pm, plus Sun. at (3:15pm) & 5pm.

Description: |
Speaker: Daniel Cargill (ICERM)
Title: Importance sampling for rare events in light-wave systems Abstract: This talk is concerned with the application of importance sampling for numerical simula- tions of large noise-induced optical pulse perturbations in soliton based light-wave systems, e.g., optical communication systems and mode-locked lasers. Importance sampling allows one to concentrate Monte Carlo simulations around those noise realizations that are most likely to produce large pulse deformations, resulting in computational efficiently improvements of several orders of magnitude over the standard Monte Carlo scheme when simulating rare error/failure events. The main challenge in implementing importance sampling is selecting a suitable biasing distribution. This is done here using a low-dimensional reduction for the pulse dynamics. I will demonstrate the method by using it to calculate the probability density functions associated with pulse amplitude, frequency, timing, and phase fluctuations |

I am currently studying film at a Christian University. At the film society meeting tonight, the president of the film society handed out some fliers for a Christian film fest. Being an atheist, I was initially disappointed that I wouldn't be able to participate in this one, but after some thought, I came up with an idea. Why couldn't I make a short film that presents arguments for Christianity in a realistic way, but at the same time, also shows their flaws (Perfect example of doing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk8qkyguBXk). Perhaps this would be possible in a Sunset Limited type of film. Would anyone be interested in helping me write a script for a film like this?
You might find it challenging to find anyone on Think Atheist who would help with arguments for Christianity...but plenty on the flaws, of course. :P I think that a good resource for this idea would be Bishop John Shelby Spong. http://johnshelbyspong.com/
This discussion group isn't very active, but you may have a better chance of response if you also post this call for collaboration on the Freethought Film Festival Foundation Facebook Page. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Freethought-Film-Festival-Foundati...
Yeah, my idea was to do something tongue in cheek that critiques and undermines Christianity while appearing on the surface to support it.

- probenecid; or
- valproic acid
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with doripenem, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.
Back to TopWhat should I avoid while taking Doripenem?
Antibiotic medicines can cause diarrhea, which may be a sign of a new infection. If you have diarrhea that is watery or bloody, stop taking doripenem and call your doctor. Do not use anti-diarrhea medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Back to TopDoripenem Dosage
In This Section:
How should I take Doripenem?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Doripenem is injected into a vein through an IV. You may be shown how to use an IV at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles, IV tubing, and other items used to inject the medicine.
Doripenem is usually given for 5 days to 2 weeks, depending on the condition being treated. You may be switched to an oral (pill form) antibiotic after the first few days of receiving doripenem by injection.
Doripenem is a powder that must be mixed with a liquid (diluent). You will need to place the doripenem and diluent mixture in an IV bag of infusion solution before using it. If you are using the injections at home, be sure you understand how to properly mix and store the medicine. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions.
Use this medication for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Doripenem will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
After mixing the doripenem and diluent mixture with an IV infusion solution, you may store it at room temperature or in a refrigerator. Do not freeze.
At room temperature: You may store the mixture for up to 4 hours if your infusion solution is 5\% dextrose, or up to 12 hours if your infusion solution is normal saline.
In a refrigerator: You may store the mixture for up to 24 hours if your infusion solution is 5\% dextrose, or up to 72 hours if your infusion solution is normal saline.
Doripenem does not contain a preservative. Throw away any doripenem mixture not used within the correct number of hours based on your infusion solution and storage method.
Back to TopWhat happens if I overdose on Doripenem?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Back to TopWhat happens if I miss a dose of Doripenem?
Call your doctor for instructions if you miss a dose of doripenem.

New headline now reads:´Corpus Christi ISD lifts lockdowns at Carroll High School, Kostoryz Elementary´
There were the beginnings of gang problems in San Angelo when I started teaching 20 yrs ago....the cops eventaully put all the out of state gang leaders/recruiters in jail and that was that....the upshot of all this was cops on campus.Officers on their day off would serve for pay,armed and mace capable as well, in the building, all day everyday and they do so to this day.What exactly is the problem with this country that they cannot see how one armed cop( whose child usually is at the same school) deters all sorts of things?Because they are "brainwashed´ ,to use the Holder terminology, about guns.Folks from Texas are polite, and courtesy and good manners are never out of style....an armed society is indeed a polite society.
Sounds like another mentally ill Democrat, would if any Democrat Senators are missing from D.C.

Palm Cancels Linux-based Foleo Project
In a message to customers Palm CEO Ed Colligan has declared the end of the short era of the Foleo Linux handheld before it really got started.
Palm announced the new device as recently as May 2007, and now Chief Executive Officer CEO Colligan has axed the Linux project. The product, dubbed the Mobile Companion, was planned as an extension to mobile communications devices, and mainly designed for email and office applications. According to Colligan, the device was close to market maturity.
In the course of the past few months, it had become clear that Palm needed to offer a single platform for all of its devices. "To that end, and after careful deliberation, I have decided to cancel the Foleo mobile companion product in its current configuration", Colligan writes in his enterprise blog, going on to conclude "we can not afford to make those improvements on a platform that is not central to our core focus." Development for the Windows Mobile Platform will continue in cooperation with Microsoft, however, Palm will be looking to focus on its proprietary Palm OS operating system platform.
Palm's CEO says that making the wrong decision has cost the company around US$ 10 m: "This is a lot of money, but it is a small price relative to the costs that would be required to support two platforms going forward.", says Colligan. He emphasizes the fact that both he and Palm founder Jeff Hawkins still believe in the Foleo's potential, but only as a development on the new Palm platform. Colligan has not disclosed a release date for a Foleo II and attaches higher priority to the core platform and Palm smart phones. Palm raised a storm of publicity by advertising its device at Linuxworld Expo in San Francisco in August, and announcing that Palm had opted for the Wind River Linux platform.

As I write this my city Delhi is drowning. It started raining early this morning and within a few hours the city has come to a standstill. The television is showing scenes of traffic snarled up for hours, roads waterlogged and people and vehicles sunk deep in water and muck. The meteorological department records that some 60 mm of rain has fallen in just about 6 hours; 90 mm in 24 hours; and with this the city has made up for its deficit of rainfall this season. In other words, in just about 24 hours Delhi and its surrounding areas got half as much rain as they would in the entire month of September. Delhi, like all growing cities of India, is mindless about drainage. Storm water drains are either clogged or do not exist. Our lakes and ponds have been eaten away by real estate. Land is what the city values, not water. So when it rains more than it should the city drowns.
Press Release Biggest rogue of them all APRIL 3, 2001 The world should declare the US a rogue nation for this act of extreme selfishness. And the Indian government should stop being a pushover. |
A potential bargaining tool to challenge the inequitable sharing of global common resources, such as the atmosphere, is slipping out of the hands of the South for good, according to Anil Agarwal, Director, Centre for Science and Environment New Delhi.
He was protesting against India's Prime Minister, I K Gujral, having endorsed the final Commonwealth Communique on the recent heads of government meeting held in Edinburgh from October 24-27.
