Tsunami - Annapolis
Online Reservations
Placed looked pretty non-descript when we walked in. Service was good but not impeccable. Food was top notch. Ordered the Tsunami wedge - fresh and tasty. Ordered several sushis rolls - all were first rate. The Pepper Seared Beef Tenderloin was to die for. It was our waiters recommended dish. Would highly recommend ordering. Some of the best beef I've eaten this year.
We had another great time at this Annapolis gem! We went to Tsunami to celebrate my wife's birthday with my son and daughter-in-law, and we thoroughly enjoyed it, from the appetizers of Ahi tuna and Etamame, to the cocoanut fish soup, to the various main courses and sushi that my son and his wife ordered. We even had a wonderful dessert of Creme brulee! The service was wonderful and all was simply great. We will definitely go here again.
Tsunami is definitely a spot to hit in Annapolis. The food is delightful--well prepared and tasty. The problem with the ambience is the noise level. It is very loud in the restaurant. Other than that, It is definitely a place to keep on your list
This is still one of the best Restaurants in Annapolis with the very best bartenders.
We've been to tsunami sushi a few times now, and we've consistently had a pleasant experience. The food is always good, and the cocktails are delicious.The atmosphere of this restaurant is amazing.
We went on a newly married date night here, and used a groupon. The sushi was great, and very decently priced! We left stuffed. It was packed, so it was extremely loud, however they played oldies (Late 50's - 70's) the whole evening which we thoroughly enjoyed! It made us wish they had a dance floor. Although it was packed, our waiter did his best to continually frequent out table and keep us happy. He gave us great help when ordering, and was super friendly! Sushi was excellent, and we will definitely be going back to check out other great menu items we didn't get to try!
Tuna sliders were great - and the sushi was very good this visit (no crusty rice); that said - man the music needs to be taken down a notch in this small space - and please put some money back into your interior. It still looks like Day 1 - which wasn't good to begin with - splatter on the walls and windows, everything looks like it needs a good scrubbing and a fresh coat of paint.
Great food, the best Vietnamese Spring Roll I've EVER had. It has a mostly "hipster" vibe but I think I'd go back (or order out at least) because the food was good. The sushi we ordered (spicy tuna and California roll) were mediocre. The tuna roll had the "spice" added just on the top, making it hard to eat since it was all in one area. Service was fantastic, and the people were very on top of getting us more water, seating us and making sure everything was what we wanted.
I love Tsunami in Annapolis, it is by far my favorite Sushi restaurant! I recommend it to everyone.
Very good food. Creative rolls. VERY "Energetic" ambiance (ie. loud).
Tsunami has been spotty as far as service and food consistency/quality (the Met roll has really gone downhill since I first started purchasing it years ago) the last few times I've gone, so I've been reluctant to patronize lately, but this trip was wonderful! We sat at the bar and had a great time. Service was great, food was great (even the Metropolitan roll was back to it's wonderfully crunchy interior and BOTH sauces were included, thank god!).... I think we'll be making Mondays a regular thing!
The food in Tsunami is really, really good. One quibble -- they skimped on the fish they used as a wrapper for the roll I ordered so you could barely tell that there was any fish in the dish. The pot stickers were still outrageous.
My friend & I sat up at the bar area for a light lunch and enjoyed the following food items: Spicy Tuna Roll, Bagel Roll, and Chicken Bento Box. The food was very fresh and delicious! I would recommend the hot green tea to go along with the sushi.
Tsunami is not the best Sushi restaurant, but it is a Great Sushi restaurant and with the ambience, the good service and the location, I cannot see it possible to ever have a bad experience. Not only do I enjoy going to Tsunami for dinner, but I also go there for lunch a couple of times a month and have always enjoyed myself. You just can't go wrong.
Having now gone twice--first time for restaurant week--we have enjoyed our visits immensely. Food is always top-notch and the sake flows warmly. We will go back for more!
I loved the food, it was more fresh that other sushi restaurants I've been. I will definitely come back!
The bartender was very helpful even though we were not at the bar...sushi and fried rice..delicious!!!!
I hadn't had sushi for nine months while pregnant so I selected Tsunami for my husband's birthday dinner. The food was great. Incredibly fresh, seasoned well and the presentation was great. Very reasonably priced and I loved the 80s music that was playing when we arrived. On the flip side, I put on Open Table that it was my husband's birthday and the hostess that seated us said happy birthday but beyond that they didn't do anything special. Plus our waitresses had two larger parties come in sons he got a little slow with us, but she did apologize. Not even a free scoop of ice cream. But overall it was good, my hubs enjoyed and we loved the neighborhood it was in.
I took foodie 2 friends who were visiting to Saturday night dinner. I had been once before to Tsunami Annapolis and recalled it being yummy. You must try the tuna lollipops in sea salt: divine! And the old bay & basil edamame: such a unique flair to a traditional sushi side dish. Be warned the spicy tuna is rolled in old bay which took away any flavor of the spicy tuna roll. We were all disappointed. The maui roll was delish on a hot day! The salmon sashimi was also a hit! I think it was a Phoenix roll (definitely a hot name) it was covered with shriracha...so it is for the spicy food lovers only. Desert was also excellent! 3 large, complex deserts - gingerbread cake with peanut butter ice cream & berry coulis was unforgetable!
We live nearby and we have loved Tsunami year after year. We enjoy the appetizers as much as the entrees, and there are several cocktails we favor, including the Hello Sailor and Basil Holy Water (made with sprigs of fragrant basil leaves and sweetened with stevia). Craft beer list has expanded and contracted from time to time, right now looks good again. Servers are often great, never less than competent. It is a noisy place with lots of music and energy in the front where the bar is located, but there are tables in the back where a conversation is easy. Have not tried to sit outdoors (there aren't that many days in Maryland where one wants to be outdoors unless you're dressed for sports or yardwork) but I believe there is seating there.
We got together to go out to dinner. First we had a 7:30 reservation, we were able to call and move our reservation to a later time and they were very flexible for us. We arrived and were seated right away. We ordered from the sushi menu and some appetizers which were all very delicious. I had the Bison short ribs with the macaroni & cheese and brussell sprouts (sidenote - I hate brussell sprouts but these were very delicious). My other friend had the scallops and they were delicious as well. The cocktails were good but I would have like to see some traditional cocktail choices. After all the food we ate, we shared a warm brownie and that was ending of a great evening. The place is rather noisy and bustling. We would go back.
if you like hot and spicy--try the best drink EVER--The Green Regal. Tequila with basil and lime with a jalapeño sour mix ..... awesome! Also try the Hamachi Sashimi--yellow tail tuba with slices of jalapeño....heaven! also love the Deluxe Vietnamese Sprong Rolls with the 2 sauces on the side. There's no rice, because they are wrapped in lettuce. Delicious!
My wife and I have been to Tsunami about 3 or 4 times before, and we always enjoy the experience! Really great menu to choose from, whether main course or just appetizers they way we sometimes do. And everyone is always very friendly and the service is very good.
I eat at Tsunami once every week to two weeks because it's one of the best spots food-wise in Annapolis. Love the food--sushi, apps, entrees, drinks, wine selection--it's all good. Only usual negative is that unless you sit at the bar, the service almost always leaves something to be desired, however, this trip, (maybe because it was a bit slow), our server was wonderful and attentive. Even helped us decide on a wine to share (my mom is a chardonnay person and I am anything but). Wanted to acknowledge the good service we received this trip!
We love making a meal of sushi and starters, especially the coconut curry soup and the tofu with fish flakes, delicious! The popcorn shrimp is also awesome. Great service like always.
We have to go to Tsunami about once a week. Crave what they do so well! Great vibe. Great service. Great sushi. Great drinks. So much variety. We love it!
Ambiance galore. Informed servers. Delicious food. Beautiful presentation.
We go to tsunamis for dinner several times a year, and it is always a great experience. The sushi is phenomenal, the cocktails are creative and delicious, and the service is always exceptional. My husband and I always struggle to find a place that consistently provides that triad within a dining experience. Tsunamis never disappoints!
The edemame with old bay is tasty and the MET fires are great. We had sushi and it was delicious..
Outstanding Sushi! So good I wanted to go back the next night
Love the sushi here - especially the Garden Roll. It is the best! Although the sushi list is smaller than going to a typical sushi restaurant everything is great. Never had a bad meal. We called ahead of time to have a bottle of champagne at the table when we arrived (suprise for a friends birthday). When we arrived it was on ice at our table and someone was there to pop it immediately. The gentleman who served the champagne was super friendly (maybe he is the manager?) and has been this way everytime I have dined here.
I love this place! The food is fresh and fabulous! This was the first time I took my Husband. He have compliments to the chef while we were there. The drinks were great! I recommend this to anyone that wants to go to a hip spot!
Tsunami is fabulous and never fails to impress! The sushi is amazing, and so are the special drinks and entrees. The West Street Cocktail is not to be missed. We started with some edamame (splurge on the chili & garlic, they are amazing!) and two very fresh, yummy rolls. Highly recommend the avocado salad, mussels(!), the salmon entree as well as the scallop entree. The entire night was topped off by excellent waitstaff. We had a waiter who clearly had half the dining room area, and still managed to stay on top of our drinks, plates and food. We'll be back soon ;)
Tsunami is small, tables are very close together, it's noisy, but...the atmosphere is cool and the food is amazing! We had several small plates: lobster and scallop potstickers, edamame with chili and garlic, tuna sashimi, Tsunami roll, cauliflower, spinach and chick peas (veggie side), and beef tataki. Plenty of food for 2 people. The sashimi and the roll were really fresh and delicious. The edamame was the best I've ever had. And the potstickers were awesome. Really, everything was good. They have a good drink menu, but we opted for hot sake. Service was very good. This is our second time at Tsunami and we look forward to returning.

A Day of Deals
Friday has turned exciting with a myriad of minor deals in baseball. Heck, this is more exciting than the MLB Trade Deadline.
The Cardinals added depth to their bullpen Friday when the acquired John Axford from the Brewers for a PTBNL. Axford has had stretches of ineffectiveness this season, just look at his 4.45 ERA and 1.55 WHIP, and it's shocking to see a guy who averaged 10.51 or more Ks per nine innings his first four seasons currently residing with a mark under one per inning (8.89 per nine). His biggest issue this season is that when he's leaving the ball up in the zone, it's getting blasted – kind of like last year. Over his first two seasons he permitted five homers. Last year he allowed 10 in 69.1 innings, and this season he's also allowed 10 in a mere 54.2 innings leading to a massive 1.65 HR/9 mark (he's given up four big flies in 16 second half innings). He's no threat to be working the 9th inning any time soon in St. Louis.
The Indians added Jason Kubel and cash from the D'Backs in exchange for cash & a PTBNL. I know, how exciting. The Indians will pay the majority of the $2.5 million he's due this season, and they are also responsible for the $1 million buyout on his contract. Kubel is a solid add in AL-only leagues, the guy did hit 30 homers with 90 RBIs last season even if he's been a dead fish this season hitting .220 with five homers and 32 RBIs in 241 at-bats. Pay him no mind in mixed leagues.
The Orioles added Michael Morse from the Mariners in a waiver-wire deal sending Xavier Avery to the club from the Pacific Northwest (Avery is a superb physical specimen, but his baseball acumen has always lagged behind his physical gifts). For my thoughts on Morse see my Rounding The Bases column. Oh yeah, the Orioles also signed Mr. Clutch Dan Johnson to a minor league deal after he was released by the Yankees. He'll likely be up in early September.
Jacoby Ellsbury swiped his 50th bag Thursday night. It's the third time he's reached that mark in his career. He's also scored 83 runs this season and he's just a hit away from a .300 average at .299. Those that took a gamble on the talent on draft day have received a massive reward for their faith in him.
Dexter Fowler had an MRI on his knee that came back showing some minor wonkiness. He might sit out through the weekend, but the hope is that he will be good to go next week. What started out so well for Dexter has devolved into a standard Dexter Fowler season. He does have 18 steals after averaging 12 the past three years, but he's hitting .263 which would be his 4th season in five years in the .260′s (he can thank a .216 average in the second half). He's also seen his power vanish. Fowler has 12 homers on the year. He hit eight by the end of April. He's a totally different hitter based on who is on the mound as well. Against righties he has hit .236 but has 10 bombs. Against lefties he's stroking hits to the tune of a .323 average but he has only two big flies. Maybe he'll never find the consistency to be anything more than a solid outfielder in fantasy baseball.
Took a couple of steam baths the last few days. Never done that before. Good times. I even met a foxy volleyball player in there this morning. And yes, she was a woman.
Matt Kemp was 0-for-5 in his first rehab game. He might be up on September 1st as his body finally seems to be healed up. He could be a huge producer in September… if he remembers he's a superstar that is.
Kris Medlen was never going to match the 1.57 ERA and 0.91 WHIP from last season. Hopefully you weren't expecting a Cy Young season out of him. He's pitched well overall though with 11 wins, a 3.58 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. He also had a strong August with a 3.00 ERA and .663 OPSA. He's been pretty damn tough at home this season as well with a 2.78 ERA over 81 innings.
Erasmo Ramirez has a 5.18 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 48.2 outings with the Mariners but at least he's gone 5-1. The folks over at Fleaflicker.com aren't sold though as his ownership rate is very low. His teammate, Danny Farquhar, continues to pitch well in the 9th inning as he pitched up his 10th save Thursday night.
Has anyone noticed that Chris Tillman is 15-4 for the Orioles? I'm the first to admit that wins don't really do it for me, but you have to be impressed nonetheless. The fact that he's sporting a 3.61 ERA and 1.23 WHIP, while pitching in the AL East means that he's finally arrived.

Langley paddlers living with breast cancer will have fun with fashion this Saturday (Oct. 20) in Burnaby.
Members of the Abreast in a Boat dragon boat racing teams are trading in their rowing gear for more fashionable attire the upcoming fundraiser at the Nygard store.
Abreast in a Boat is a group of women living with breast cancer who participate in dragon boat racing to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer.
The Fort Langley Canoe Club's Abreast in a Boat crew, Abreast with FORT-itude, is going to have a large presence at the event.
Ten of the 25-member FORT-itude crew are involved in the fashion show in one way or another, says team captain Juanita Peglar.
Five crew members are modeling while another five have been part of the committee that organized the event.
Still others have bought tickets at $20 each, which includes refreshments and light appetizers, and are bringing friends and family to the fashion show.
All clothing modeled is being supplied by the Nygard store.
The fundraiser also includes entertainment by singer Lisa Fennell, the aforementioned fashion show, and a silent auction.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Tickets to the fashion show are $20 and available at Champagne Taste (1101 Royal Ave.) or the Big Bend Nygard store (5751 Marine Way.)
Proceeds will go to the Abreast in A Boat organization.
"It is the biggest event this year to raise funds for the organization," Peglar said. "Our organization has worked long and hard to get many items for a silent auction to help raise funds to keep our crews 'afloat.'"
All of the FORT-itude paddlers, ranging in age from 35 to 74, have had breast cancer.
Many have had a long survival with up to 20 years since diagnosed, while others are still on meds for recurring disease or metatases, Peglar explained.
"We lost two of our paddlers this year, ages 52 and 59, to the disease," she said.
This season FORT-itude had seven new paddlers, three of whom are in their 30s. This brought the number of crew members in their 30s to four.
With 20 paddlers in the boat, this meant one-third of FORT-itude's crew members have been recently diagnosed and treated for breast cancer.
Having seven novices changes the dynamics in the boat, noted Peglar: "We need to be aware that these ladies require lots of TLC and more technique work to bring them along slowly and to be sure that they are not injured."
The team entered four regattas this season, the last being in Nanaimo in July.
The ladies' hard work paid off as they won gold in the Breast Cancer Challenge race at that event, which drew 11 breast cancer teams from around Vancouver Island and the lower mainland.
It is the first time in the 10-year history of the Nanaimo Regatta that an Abreast in a Boat crew won the gold and the Challenge Cup.
FORT-itude's season started in mid March, meeting on the water for practices Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings at the FLCC dock.
Registration continues until December for next season's crews. The FORT-itude crew has started dry land training, and is trying to work out twice per week. Each paddler will also train on her own three times per week.
Peglar said Abreast in a Boat members participate in dragon boat racing to make a difference - that is to raise breast cancer awareness and to encourage those living with breast cancer to live full and active lives.
"Our goal is to send a message of hope to people living with this disease and to those who support them," Peglar said.
At the fashion show, special deals will be offered for people making purchases the night of the fashion show. Guests will also be able to buy keys to unlock a mannequin that's dressed from head to toe in Nygard attire - with the owner of the lucky key winning the complete outfit.
The first Abreast in a Boat team formed more than a decade ago in response to a research project that was exploring whether exercise could reduce the effects of lymphedema (a painful inflammation that can occur if lymph nodes are removed during cancer treatment). Since that time, it has grown to include 180 members and crews in Deas, Richmond, Vancouver, Langley and Rocky Point.
Although it was originally envisioned that women would participate in Abreast in a Boat dragon boat racing for a couple of years and then move on, many have stuck with it because of the camaraderie and support they get from fellow team members. Abreast in a Boat teams take part in about three regattas every years and often participate in an international dragon boat regatta held for breast cancer survivors every three or four years.

Hi Ivan Thanks for the tool will be of a great help.
Thank you Ivan for your contribution. Great tool.
best regards from switzerland
Scaling worked well when I tried it.
Thank you Ivan! Excellent!
Just had a thought. Instead of the Yes / No responses, could you scale this?
Thanks for posting this here Ivan. Much appreciated. John
Excellent! Both the checklist and posting it here. Many thanks,
We're gathering resources about SF and SFB as used in schools. WOWW I have a fair amount on, LIP-Focus in Sweden too - where can I access more about your work in schools? Thanks Svea
Thanks for this Ivan - I have a copy of this but did not get a source with it so am very pleased to know whom to acknowledge for this resource. Svea

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I personalized the DARLING, Lucky Umbrella and selected the Charcoal with Pink Dress & Green Sash & Umbrella. They exceeded my expectations, not only in quality, but in delivery as well. Yes, I paid for the super duper fast delivery, but anticipated receiving them in about 4 or 5 days from my order day. Oh My Gosh, they delivered a 1:00 PM the NEXT DAY! Unbelievable! Wedding Paper Divas, you are WONDERFUL & I would recommend you to anyone!"
"I just sent out these adorable shower cards last weeked. The cardstock was thicker than I was anticipating based on other reviews. The larger, standard postage envelope was better than I was anticiapting as well. The invites fit perfectly and there was no movement in the envelope. I think the only change that would make these cards totally perfect is if the finish was less glossy and more matte."
"I absolutely love this design! The pearly shimmery just sets it off. I was able to customize a lot of different aspects of the invitation, so it perfectly complimented my wedding color/theme. Couldn't be happier with the quality & service."
"I received my invitations very fast and they look beautiful! The only thing I am missing 5 white envelopes in my pkg???? I would like to know if you would be able to send those to me please ASAP bc I will be sending out my invites beginning of April. The invitations are very nice the only thing I would suggest is the colors, the chocolate brown looks a little dark like a black color. But if someone may please contact me and tell me if they can send me 5 more white envelopes? Thank you"
"I ordered these for my future daughter-in-law's Shower. These are crisp and tailored and perfect for someone who is not looking for something flowery. I changed the wording a bit and added extra lines by working with a designer. I love the way they turned out. I highly recommend keeping the white border and the square corners. I chose the gray background, with pink umbrella and green dress. I kept the writing white (which I recommend) because it does show up best on the gray paper. I did not use lower case letters on mine. Adding a picture and "saying" on the back of the card was a big hit! So far, I have gotten compliments from those who have received them. There was room in this envelope to include a 4 X 6 recipe card for the recipients. I will use Wedding Paper Divas again."

Missouri works to dig out from snowstorm
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) — A large swath of southern Missouri is working to dig out from a storm that has coated the region with a mix of snow, ice and sleet.
The National Weather Service says that from Thursday to Friday, 6 to 12 inches of snow fell in areas of the state south of Interstate 44, with some of the heaviest accumulations recorded near the Missouri-Arkansas state line.
Another storm system was forecast to hit the state overnight into Sunday, dumping 1 to 3 inches in north and west-central Missouri, with the heaviest snows near the Iowa-Missouri border. Only a dusting of snow is expected further south.
Although a wind chill advisory covering much of the southern half of the state was allowed to expire mid-morning Saturday, temperatures remain well below average today.
Water spouts spin over Lake Michigan
KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) - Twin water spouts put on a spectacular show over Lake Michigan, near the Wisconsin shore.
The water spouts were sighted a couple of miles off shore about 1:30 p.m. Thursday after a funnel cloud was sighted in the Wisconsin town of Kenosha.
Sgt. Bill Beth of the Kenosha County sheriff's office says the two water spouts merged into one large one, then split.
Beth says it was a "beautiful day" when the water spouts "just popped out of nowhere."
National Weather Service meteorologist Ed Townsend says water spouts generally occur between August and October.
Warning sirens were activated around 1:15 p.m. No damage or injuries were reported.

Work underway on Bridgeton landfill following weather delay
Work on the Bridgeton landfill begins today now that drier weather is forecast. Heavy rain prevented repairs for two days to get rid of an odor coming from the landfill. Homeowners who live nearby are staying in a hotel.
Operators of the landfill believe removing concrete pipes will help eliminate a strong odor that is bothering residents who live near the landfill that sits near Lambert Airport in suburban St. Louis. But the removal process, expected to last through mid-June, is also expected to temporarily make the smell worse.
Injuries pile up in wake of Oklahoma tornado
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Officials at two hospitals say they're treating nearly 60 patients, including more than a dozen children, after a massive tornado hit suburban Oklahoma City.
Integris Southwest Medical Center spokeswoman Brooke Cayot (KAY'-ot) said 10 of 37 patients being treated at that facility Monday are listed in critical condition. Twelve are in serious and 15 others are listed in fair or good condition.
Five of the patients are children, including two who came from the Plaza Towers Elementary School, where an Associated Press photographer saw several children being pulled from the rubble. Cayot could not confirm the children's conditions.
Spokesman Scott Coppenbarger says another 20 patients of various ages are being treated at OU Medical Center. He says eight of them are children.

To acknowledge womenãs struggles and triumphs over cancer, women business owners have planned a number of local events for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In Coventry, Marsha Leveille will host a reception from 4-8 p.m. Oct. 19 at her shop The Clothesline, in the Coventry Shoppers Park on Flat River Road. The open house is in honor of her mother, Marilyn, who died of cancer and the complications of dementia in late August.

Forty-four more units of affordable housing are underway in Coventry. Construction started in January on the new units that will be behind Dollar Tree and Hyde Music on Tiogue Avenue. Entrance to Coventry Meadows will be on Edith Street, off of Arnold Road. Edith Street will be continued and loop around right inside the new Coventry Meadows complex. It will be a six-building complex and the first building is now nearing completion. The affordable housing units are being built by Coventry Housing Associates Corporation, more commonly known as the Coventry Housing Authority. Coventry Housing was started in 1963 ãto provide housing opportunities to low-income households for the citizens of the Town of Coventry,ã according to their website. The money for this new project was awarded at the end of 2010. Coventry Housingãs executive director, Julie A. Leddy, said when they applied for the funding the fact that they were ãready to goã was in their favor. Work started the Monday after New Yearãs Day, she said. The main utilities for all of the buildings will be tied into the first building. That building will hold a Community Hall and laundry facilities for the whole complex. It will be completed first and then they will go building-by-building to complete the other housing units. The foundations of the other five buildings have already been laid. Inside the main building that houses the Community Hall, there will also be four housing units. When it is completed they will begin filling those units. As they complete each of the other buildings, which will house eight units each, they too will be filled with tenants. All the site work should be done, Leddy said, allowing them to ãwork our way out.ã Theyãll start with the buildings closest to the main building, she said. By September, they hope to have the first units ready. The units will have one, two or three bedrooms. Leddy explained how each unit will have its own entrance and there will be no hallways to walk through. It will be built right into the grade, she said, that the units, though two-levels, can be accessed at ground level on each side. Residents will drive right up to their own unit, she said. There will also be a separate patio outside of each one, she said. Coventry Housing has other units for the elderly or disabled and these units, though the same individuals could apply for them, are more suited for family housing, Leddy said. Coventry Meadows will have a totally separate waiting list than The Crossroads, Coventry Housingãs other family-style affordable housing complex. The Crossroads is located on Lacolle Lane in Coventry and has been at full occupancy since it opened. It is a 32-unit facility opened by Coventry Housing in 2003.
The town managerãs budget would raise the motor vehicle and property taxes rates as well as make cuts to departments.

The $2 million capital budget would go almost entirely to the town and the schools would be encouraged to go out to bond on their own to pay for extensive capital improvement needs.

AP style, interviewing skills, fact checking, and … drone flying lessons? At least two journalism schools are experimenting with using unmanned aircraft as news-gathering tools.
Drones have already been used by law enforcement, search-and-rescue groups, and other government agencies in the United States, but unmanned aircraft are still illegal for commercial entities to fly (and will remain illegal until at least 2015), which might be one reason that TMZ's rumored interest in a drone was quickly denied by the company.
[POLL: Americans Still Approve of Drone Strike Program]
That makes universities one of the only legal places for journalists to learn to fly drones. At the University of Nebraska, professor Matt Waite says they're staying "well within the non-commercial rules" and at the University of Missouri, students are working with the nonprofit National Public Radio station KBIA. Both universities are flying drones under a model aircraft exception in the law that allows hobbyists to fly small aircraft at altitudes below 400 feet.
Professors at both schools are also struggling with how to use drones in a way that will keep them off the radars of groups interested in privacy. In Missouri's graduate school program (which has about 10 students enrolled), they are "having a hard time figuring out how to integrate [drones]," says Scott Pham, content director at KBIA and co-head of the Missouri program.
"The law has so much grey area—we have to find stories that are not going to involve people. The more people that are involved, the closer you get to legal and ethical issues," he says. "We're researching the laws, but to be honest, I want to find a way to skirt the issue."
Missouri's launched earlier this year. Pham says they've got a couple drones in flyable shape and the team is waiting for the weather to warm up to do its first stories, which could happen in a matter of days. Once people see the potential positive uses of drones, he hopes the public will be a little more likely to accept them.
[READ: Drone Industry: Unmanned Aircraft May Have Saved Lives in Dorner Standoff]
"These are so different than what we're using overseas. They use similar technologies, but we're doing different things with them" he says. "I think in a few years, we'll understand the distinction and it won't be so scary."
Both professors say they're excited to be on the cutting edge of new journalism technology, but realize their actions could impact public opinion—many states (including Missouri) are already considering banning private drone operators from flying in their states' airspace. While the drone industry has been pushing the FAA to make using a drone in the United States easier for law enforcement and farmers, it doesn't seem to have the same love for journalists.
Last month, at an event in Washington, D.C. discussing drone privacy issues, Gretchen West, executive vice president of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International said simply: "Using UAS for journalism is illegal."
Waite says it's likely "this whole thing is going to court, with a whole lot of people filing a whole lot of lawsuits." He says drones' true journalistic usefulness—at least for now—isn't in paparazzi or spying on sources, it's in agricultural, traffic, and natural disaster journalism. With many news outlets going through hard times financially, he says a drone can be a cheap replacement for a breaking new helicopter.
[READ: New Wikileaks E-mail Dump Shows Wasted Drone Efforts]
"The economics are what makes the argument for UAVs … for the kind of money it costs to buy and maintain a helicopter, I can build you a whole lot of UAVs," he says. "I think the real uses are going to be on reporting stories with a huge spacial extent—natural disasters, agriculture, suburban growth, wildfires, and traffic."

President Obama delivered a far more forceful performance in his second presidential debate against Mitt Romney, as he and the former Massachusetts governor clashed over a wide range of questions from undecided voters.
Debating at Hofstra University in New York's Long Island, Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney both had the gloves off in this town-hall debate, as they sparred over questions that ranged from the economy and gas prices to Libya, immigration, gun control, and gender disparity in pay.
The outcome was less clear-cut than the debate in Denver, with neither candidate scoring the huge victory that Romney seemed to in their last encounter.
The big question as the debate began was whether Obama could undo some of the damage he did two weeks ago in Denver, where he was widely viewed as losing badly to Romney. In the weeks since that debate, Romney has largely overtaken Obama in the polls, and is now leading in some key swing states. Obama certainly delivered a stronger performance this time around, and seemed unafraid of directly confronting Romney on a number of issues he shied away from two weeks ago.
"Very little of what Governor Romney just said is true," he said early on in the debate, in response to criticisms by Romney of his energy policy and statements that he had reduced drilling on federal lands.
It set the stage for a willingness to spar directly with Romney frequently – an interaction that often doesn't happen in town hall debates, where the emphasis is on engaging with the questioner – that happened repeatedly through the night, as Romney and Obama tussled with each other about their positions and statements on energy, the Libya attack, immigration, and tax policy.
Romney's strongest moments in the debate came when he characterized Obama's first four years in stark terms.
"I think you know that these last four years haven't been so good as the president just described and that you don't feel like you're confident that the next four years are going to be much better either," Romney told a questioner who said that he had voted for Obama four years ago but was less optimistic this time around.
"I can tell you that if you were to elect President Obama, you know what you're going to get," Romney said, before launching into criticisms ranging from unemployment and the growing numbers of people in poverty to his failure to reform entitlements or immigration. "The president has tried, but his policies haven't worked," Romney said.
Romney was strong at the debate's end, too, though he misfired notably when he answered a question on gender pay inequity by referring to "whole binders full of women" that he had his staff in the Massachusetts governor's office bring him when there weren't enough women candidates for cabinet positions. The phrase quickly became one of the most mocked of the night on Twitter and elsewhere.
But Obama, who had the most to gain from this debate, came in with a particularly tall agenda.
He needed to be more energetic than in Denver. He needed to find a way to attack Romney's character and paint him as a flip-flopper, without hurting his own likability. He needed to appeal to women voters, who are key to his victory plan and who polls show may be leaving the president for Romney.
And he had to do it all without seeming like he was overcompensating from his weak performance of two weeks ago, or that he is desperate.
And, with some missteps, he accomplished most of that agenda.
He used a fairly softball question on pay disparity for women to not only highlight his signing of the Lilly Ledbetter act but also move into a discussion of contraception and Planned Parenthood – criticizing Romney on both – noting that "these are not just women's issues. These are family issues. These are economic issues."
Moderator Candy Crowley, a CNN news correspondent, was nearly as forceful in this debate as the two candidates.
There were questions before the debate began about the role Ms. Crowley would play, with both campaigns saying that the agreement stipulated that she would do nothing more than invite questions from the audience members and keep the candidates to their time limits, while Crowley said that there was, in fact, room for her to ask follow-up questions and facilitate discussion.
And in fact, she was a strong presence, frequently interrupting the candidates – who didn't always listen to her – to bring them back to point or ask them to wrap things up, as well as asking pointed follow-up questions. In one case, she asked Romney what he would do if, in fact, the numbers on his tax plan don't add up (as Obama contends) – a possibility Romney refused to entertain – and in another case pushing Obama to answer Romney's claim that gas prices shouldn't be at $4 a gallon if his energy policies were working.
In the most notable exchange, Crowley actually stepped in as a spontaneous fact checker, as Obama and Romney sparred about whether he called the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi an act of terror.
Romney jumped on Obama's claim that he stood in the Rose Garden the day after the attack and called it "an act of terror," saying that, in fact, Obama had waited 14 days before he used that description.
The two candidates sparred back and forth briefly – as they did several times during the debate in direct confrontations – with Obama telling Romney at one point to "get the transcript," before Crowley finally stepped in, saying, "He did, in fact, sir."
"Can you say that a little louder, Candy?" Obama immediately asked, as some in the audience applauded.
It was one of the more indelible moments of a debate that overall saw strong performances by both candidates, and is likely to be replayed often in the coming days.
It also is likely to be among the most questioned, particularly by Republicans citing media (and moderator) bias. Even Crowley, speaking on CNN after the debate, admitted that Romney "was right in the main" in how he characterized Obama's depictions of the Benghazi attacks, but "just picked the wrong word." (In the Rose Garden address, Obama did refer to "acts of terror," but only in general terms.)
For Romney, though, who surely entered the debate hoping to hammer Obama on Libya, it was ultimately a lost opportunity. What most viewers are likely to take away is that Romney was called out, and appeared to lose.
The two candidates, who seemed to exhibit a strong dislike of each other on stage, engaged in a number of confrontations throughout the night, frequently posing questions to each other (something else supposedly prohibited in the debate guidelines) and occasionally entering personal space.
At one point, Romney repeatedly asked Obama, "Have you looked at your pension?," as he implied that Obama also had investments outside the US. Finally Obama replied, tersely, "I don't look at my pension. It's not as big as yours, so it doesn't take as long."
Obama surprised many viewers in Denver by refraining from mentioning Romney's infamous "47 percent" comment, in which Romney seemed in private remarks to dismiss nearly half the population who don't pay federal income taxes.
On Long Island, it at first seemed that he was going to refrain again from brining them up – and in fact, Romney used his final question to offer a tacit rebuttal of his remarks, telling the audience that, "I care about 100 percent of the American people."
But then Obama, who was awarded the last word, used his final answer to hammer Romney hard on those remarks, reminding viewers that Romney "said behind closed doors that 47 percent of this country consider themselves victims."
"Think about who he was talking about," he urged his audience.
It was a strong close for the president, though in the end, Americans viewing this debate are likely to be split along far more partisan lines in who they consider the winner than they were two weeks ago.
Most snap polls conducted by news organizations after the debate seemed to give the victory to Obama, though those polls can have a high degree of error, and the effects are usually sorted out in the coming days.

What is strangest in Roger Rosenblatt's "How To Write Great"? Not a question Rosenblatt would like. The essay, which appears in Saturday's New York Times book review, praises moral, heroic writing and disdains the "weird," the "self-conscious" and the "strange." And yet it is an essay bristling with the bizarre, a menagerie of misreadings. Here are three moments that most puzzled me.
1. The citation of Quixote as an example of "Honor, heroism, decency, justice and 'Ah, love, let us be true to one another' writing." But Cervantes, after all, was joking. The "burdens of civilization" in Don Quixote are carried by irony, by the light-hearted but epochal imagined dissolution of feudal heroism into—gasp, invention—that "loose, baggy monster," the new form of the novel. If you don't appreciate self-consciousness, irony, cynicism, or invention, then why are you praising Quixote?

Hi mdecipher - Sorry that the TO field is not populating your address book properly. It seems like the databases are out of sync and hence it is not populating the addresses. It would require a slow sync to be performed on your account. Can you please get in touch with us at - helpme at plaxo dot com with the subject line - Need slow sync to be performed (address book issue)? We will go ahead and force a slow sync, which should fix the issue.
Thank you!
Kurt, thank you. It worked. The following is not personally directed at you or any other support personnel who may read this.
I have almost the same problem with my email. I have noticed it for quite some time and since it is an intermittent problem, I have never done anything about it, but tonight I was frustrated to the point of researching for help!
My problem is that whenever I add a new address in my address book, and then try to send an email, the addresses I just added won't show up in the "To" section. When I go to check the address book, they are there. If I wait a few hours or days, the new addresses will then show up! I also always have an "error" message at the bottom of the pop up window whenever I try to send new emails or forwards. Sometimes the email will send, sometimes it won't.
Also, I set up groups for my address program and it used to work - but now I can't add any new addresses to any of those groups.
All of this makes it very frustrating when you need to send business emails. Please help.
You should contact helpme at plaxo dot com
I doubt Comcast want anything to do with these issues anymore. They weren't able to help me and never gave me the contact info for plaxo until 5-6 months after my problem(s) began. I appears these type of problems are out of the control of the end-user. I scoured my settings and preferences for a cure to no avail.
Hi rdolores - We are sorry to know that you are facing this problem.. Can you please contact us at helpme at plaxo dot com with the subject line - Need slow sync to be performed (address book TO: issue) and we can force a sync. This should fix the problems that you are seeing.
Thank you

Hey, National Rifle Association, is that all you got? Put a lawman in every school in the country (New York Times article, Dec. 22 Dispatch)? How lame. How expensive would that be?
I have a better idea as to how the NRA could be more involved in this: Put a volunteer NRA member in every school every day, armed and ready to go.
The group certainly has enough members who could and would volunteer at no cost.
Here's the NRA's chance to show its patriotism in spades.

This resort was beyond words and the staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and like a king/queen. Everyone was extremely courteous... and friendly and they went the extra mile every step of the way. The food was TOP quality at each one of their restaurants! The service was incredible. They were quick and gave adequate portions. The hotel rooms were always clean and presentable. The turndown service was great. They even set up a romantic evening for my boyfriend and I. It was an incredible experience. I would recommend this place to anyone! Two examples of great service was that they made early checkin available quickly once we arrived even though we technically should have waited another 4 hours. Also, I wanted some banana bread and they had run out, so the chef came out to apologize and committed to having some fresh banana bread the next morning for me. I had room service at my door the next morning with my fresh banana bread direct from the chef with a courteous note. By far the BEST experience I've ever had at any resort on all vacations I've taken!!! Hotels.com 住客于 2013-09-06 发表

Due to the presence of quagga mussels at Jumbo Reservoir, CPW cannot perform any salvage and translocation operations. The public salvage is being announced in order to optimize use of the fishery resource as outlined:
- All anglers must have a valid Colorado fishing license
- No commercial angling will be allowed
- Only angling methods that are currently legal at the reservoir will be allowed
- Current size, bag, and possession limits for all species will be removed until the public salvage is terminated
The end date of the public salvage effort will be announced by Area Wildlife Manager Tom Kroening.
Last week, CPW announced the closure of the boat ramp at Prewitt Reservoir due to low water levels. Hand-launched craft are still permitted. Water levels are expected to remain high enough to support mature fish in that reservoir.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife was created by the merger of Colorado State Parks and the Colorado Division of Wildlife, two nationally recognized leaders in conservation, outdoor recreation and wildlife management. Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages 42 state parks, all of Colorado's wildlife, more than 300 state wildlife areas and a host of recreational programs.

By Chick Jacobs Staff writer
Times change.
Need doesn't.
This holiday season, the number of families in the Cape Fear region that need help has grown. In Cumberland County, more than 5,400 people - children, seniors and families - need help this Christmas.
Hundreds more are looking for help in Robeson County, and an additional 100-plus are seeking help in Moore County.
Those in need aren't looking forward to shopping on Black Friday. They're just trying to feed and clothe their children, provide warmth and comfort for those around them.
They are the ones who have to explain to children why the Christmas tree has nothing beneath it but shattered hopes.
In short, the need for Christmas toys, food and basic items such as underwear and blankets has never been greater.
Through the Christmas Opportunity program at the Salvation Army in Fayetteville, we can make their wishes come true.
The organization collected and screened applications from families and seniors.
It compiled a list of their needs so the public can adopt a family and buy presents to put under their tree.
Beginning Friday and over the next couple of weeks, The Fayetteville Observer will publish stories about these families, along with lists from which you can pick one to adopt.
You also can choose a family from Angel Trees at these locations: Salvation Army Christmas Headquarters at 1748 Skibo Road; Cross Creek Mall; South River EMC office on Ramsey Street; Stryker Golf Course on Fort Bragg; Omni Fitness on Walter Reed Road; and Cracker Barrel on Cedar Creek Road.
Adopting a family is easy. Call 644-5261 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays. Then take the unwrapped presents to the Salvation Army Christmas Headquarters at 1748 Skibo Road by Dec. 7.
This year, for the first time, the Salvation Army also is accepting online donations. You can click on holidayhelper.org, then click on "Adopt an Angel" and fill in your preferences. Additional families will be posted at fayobserver.com.
In addition, the Bill Shaw Christmas Fund also will be receiving donations online at Billshawfund.org. All proceeds go to the Cape Fear region's needy.
"We have been trusted to be good stewards by this community," said Fayetteville Salvation Army Capt. Jason Smith. "We want to put the money people entrust to us where it will serve the greatest need.
"We don't want to see a single sad child on Christmas Day when they wake up and look under the tree."
With your help, and that of the community, every child can have a merry Christmas.

Tattoo-like patch may be future of health monitoring
Engineers at the University of Illinois today unveiled novel, skin-mounted electronics this week whose circuitry bends, wrinkles, and even stretches with skin.
The device platform includes electronic components, medical diagnostics, communications, and human-machine interfacing on a patch so thin and durable it can be mounted to skin much like a temporary tattoo.
What's more, the team was able to demonstrate its invention across a wide range of components, including LEDs, transistors, wireless antennas, sensors, and conductive coils and solar cells for power.

Irish PM Enda Kenny tells Boston College graduates: 'Live long and deep'
(Associated Press photo)
Referencing a mix of history and personal experience, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny exhorted 4,395 Boston College graduates today to let go, let fly.
Be successful, be well, be happy above all, be yourselves," Kenny said during his 23-minute address during BCs 137th annual commencement, inside a sun-dappled Alumni Stadium. "Live long and deep and comfortably in your own skin.
Kenny earned a standing ovation from the Class of 2013 seating in folding chairs on the football field and from an estimated 20,000 guests who filled the bleachers behind them. School officials said past BC commencement speakers have rarely received standing ovations.
The prime minister also spoke of Boston's strength in the wake of the Marathon bombings.
In this city, strength is your default position, he said. The hurt of the Boston Marathon attacks is still palpable, but the people of this great city have responded with their usual courage, dignity and compassion.
On Monday, two friends and BC graduate students who were injured in the bombings, Liza Cherney, and Brittany Loring, were among those who earned degrees.
Kenny, who also was awarded an honorary doctor of laws degree, did not address the controversy that has swirled over his appearance.
Cardinal Sean P. OMalley boycotted the ceremony, where for decades the Archbishop of Boston has given the benediction, over Kenny's support of abortion-rights legislation in his country. The measure would permit abortions if there is a real and substantial threat to the mothers life, including from suicide
OMalley said US bishops have urged Catholic institutions not to honor government officials who promote abortion with their policies.
About 40 protestors gathered outside the gates to BCs campus to object to Kenny's appearance. The group included members of Students for Life of America.
If Boston College won't stand for the preborn at its graduation ceremonies, we will." said a statement from Kristan Hawkins, president of the group.
The university also presented honorary degrees to: James A. Woods, the founding dean and namesake of the universitys Woods College for Advancing Studies; Wayne Budd, former US attorney and long-time BC trustee; Cornelia Kelley, headmaster emerita of Boston Latin School; and Mary Lou DeLong, who served in several key administrative roles at BC.
Like many area commencements this year, security was heightened in the wake of the Marathon bombings. Campus police boosted patrols. Backpacks, briefcases, large bags and wrapped gifts were prohibited. Smaller bags and purses were searched.
In his speech, Kenny touched on the deep ties between the United States and Ireland, forged over centuries.
"Today, the Irish story is writ large across America right to Capitol Hill. The hands roughened in Irish soil, were leathered in your mines, your scaffolding, your bridges, your railroads," he said. "Over the generations, our farmers-turned-labourers saw to it that their children went from the schoolhouse and the firehouse, right to the White House itself.''
In his invitation to speak at BC, he said: "Know that you honor all the generations of Irish people. On such a proud day, in such glorious company, God indeed is in His heaven. And I thank Him that the sky has not fallen in."
