Cheval Blanc, Roy's, or Parkway Grill?
- The Oracle Aug 22, 2011 05:14 PM
I'm trying to find a spot for my mom's upcoming b'day. The old standby is Parkway Grill - which mom enjoys, but I feel it's a bit overdone and I think she'd appreciate a change of scene.
Mom loves salmon and chicken, is open to other fish, but is not a red-meat eater.
I'm a little hesitant on Roy's - because when I went to the downtown location, I found everything to be over-sauced.
I'm leaning toward Cheval Blanc, but that's the unknown on my list.
Any thoughts? I'm open to other ideas, if there's a standout. Would want to stay in Pasadena (or east) and keep the price point in the $20-30 range for entrees.

I've been to all three, and my vote would be ROY'S, especially if your mom isn't a red meat eater. I've never been to the Downtown or the Pasadena location, but I know someone who has been to both and says the Pasadena location is better than the Downtown location. I highly recommend Roy's Hawaiian Martini, Misoyaki Butterfish, and Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. I've also enjoyed their Salmon and their Short Ribs. Honestly, I've always had a wonderful meal at Roy's in Woodland Hills.
Cheval Blanc is also good, but the food nor the menu are as good as Roy's in my opinion. In fact, my last meal at Cheval Blanc was a bit of a let down. Also keep in mind, Roy's will have a wider selection of fish dishes.

re: brandygirl
If you go to Costco (at least the one in Los Feliz), you can get 2 $50 gift cards for Roy's for $80.
If your mom enjoys fish, might I suggest Shiro in South Pasadena?

re: ipsedixit
Better than all of the three suggestions, per poster's parameters.
re: carter
Shiro website for menu perusal, prices, etc.

re: carter
there's that $35 Wednesday night prix fixe.
re: ipsedixit
Thank you, ispedixit & carter.
I've lived in Pasadena for decades, and have YET to try Shiro. A visit is long overdue and it's a great suggestion.
What is the ambiance like in the restaurant? Is it comparable to the others on the list?

re: The Oracle
From my recollection (it's been about 2 years now), it's sort of plain...or understated, if you prefer. Reasonably quiet.
re: The Oracle
Decor is Spartan, or if you prefer, Modern Sparse?
It's definitely a grown up type of place, din is low to medium, and the general feel is somewhat sedated, but not dead by any means.
Service, for me, has always been professional and competent.
re: ipsedixit
Sheryl always makes people feel at home.
Personally I like Cheval Blanc better than Roy's. You also might consider AKA An American Bistro http://www.akabistro.com/ . We have had some very solid meals there. I went to Shiro once and thought it was good, but overpriced.

re: Terahertz
I liked AKA quite a bit, although it might not be quite the right vibe for mom's b-day (I guess it sort of depends on the mom in question).
I think Roy's is good the first time you go, but over time it does seem over-sauced, overly sweet. Of course, YMMV. They do have a decent happy hour, however (Pasadena location).
Shiro is better but costs more--although they do have some specials that bear looking into.

We've been to Cheval Blanc twice. Although the food ranged from quite good to adequate, they committed two errors: on the first visit the bus person grabbed my escargot dish out from under my descending chunk of bread, and ignored my protests. On the second, my much-anticipated lapin à la moutarde was cooked rabbit, probably sous vide, heated up with mustard-cream sauce on it, NOT rabbit long-braised with mustard. That was just being quick and cheap, tantamount to serving bagged salad, but running off with my escargot butter (the whole point of ordering them, for me) is unforgivable. The Smiths can keep their little empire, for all of me.
re: Will Owen
Removing the escargot butter is a death penalty offense, but man you have to be more assertive!
re: mc michael
Mrs. O would not have appreciated my yelling in there, which was my first impulse. Not even on my birthday, which it was. Simply refusing to go back is a whole lot easier, given how many other places have both good bread and good escargot, and better and cheaper food. The only reason we did go back was because my Mom-in-law wanted to go there for her birthday, and I picked the day because I wanted to try that terribly disappointing bunny dish. Bummer.
UPDATE: Thank you all for the kind and helpful input. We ended up at Roy's. The Costco deal (thank you, calpurnia), the fish-centric, yet diverse menu - and the happy hour appetizers appealed to our group overall.
I didn't arrive for the appetizer, happy hour feast, so I can't speak to that.
Service was top-notch. I had a friend recently tell me she and her husband had a horrible service experience, and after my visit last night, I'm baffled as to why and think it had to be one of those one-time flukes or someone having a bad day. In any case, we were graciously greeted and promptly seated and service was excellent throughout.
On to the food:
Apps: I had the lomi lomi salmon and lobster poke as a starter. The salmon was delicious, but the lobster was hard pressed to find. It was served in a 3-inch round surrounded by a swirl of some sort of honey/soy type sauce. It was a very lovely presentation.
Mains: We ended up with two orders of short ribs (myself included). It came highly recommended by the waiter. Two orders of the seafood trio (butterfish, ahi, salmon), and two orders of the rib eye.
Short Ribs: I'm a short rib fan and these were disappointing. It was a bit on the dry side and a boring flavor profile (perhaps jfood's short rib recipe has ruined me for life). I also thought the portion was on the small side. It consisted of 2 short ribs on top of a bed of mashed potatoes and veggies. I did double veggies, but the other diner who had the short ribs, said the serving of mashed potatoes was very small.
Rib Eye: The stand out was the rib eye - a delicious and flavorful steak - perfectly cooked on both orders. Served on a bed of mashed potatoes and veggies. A beautiful presentation and ample serving of sides. I tried a bite of the wasabi mashed potatoes and they had the perfect amount of kick to them.
Seafood Trio: The seafood trio was also enjoyed - the ahi was the selection that was least enjoyed, with the butterfish and salmon being the stars. It came with steamed rice and bok choy, which was a very nice way to round out the dish.
Special note: they were fantastic about substitutions and special requests. Such as: swapping out mashed potatoes for other ones that were on the menu, doing double veggies, sauce on the side, and so forth. The orders came out flawlessly - which was impressive in it's own right.
Dessert: pineapple upside down cake (served w/ coconut ice cream) and the chocolate lava cake (served w/ vanilla ice cream) were raved about, but I didn't try any....
Damage: 3 glasses of wine, 2 beers, 1 happy hour cocktail, misc. happy hour appetizers (maybe 5??), 1 app, 6 mains, 2 desserts: $330
Mom enjoyed her b'day dining experience - so, mission accomplished! Thanks, again!
re: The Oracle
hi Oracle! guess where i ended up as well? Roy's! Another tipis to get on the Roy's mailing list. Somehow on my birthday my husband got an email for $20 off so we did it. It's interesting to read your experience as mine was pretty different.
Service: I found the service was a bit off. we found ourselves starting our meals without drinks or glasses of wine and felt the timing was off. While i was still eating my short ribs the bus guy really wanted to clear my plate even though i was only half done my husband was still in the middle of his shrimp. it was totally uncalled for.
Short Ribs: while I agree the flavor was just ok and meat was slightly dry, i found the portion to be pretty big versus small. in fact, when the bus boy insisted on clearing my plate i ended up having him pack it up. Maybe it was the calamari starter or maybe i was just still full from terrible lunch at Katsuya.
Guava Mojito- reminded me of Hawaii. Shouldn't it? I mean what's Roy's if it doesn't have a touch of aloha, right?
Dessert: Pineapple upside down cake and a comped slice of chocolate layer cake. The latter was dry and forgettable but hey, it's free. who can complain? But the pineapple upside down cake had just the right amount of crunch from the sugar glaze in contrast to the sponge of the cake. it was perfect with the coconut ice cream!
Overall it was a decent experience. I'm planning on trying the rib eye or the butterfish next time. Will have to try the Costco deal.
re: trolley
trolley - I was WONDERING where you ended up! :) Were we there the same night, perhaps? (Thursday?).
That is so bizarre regarding them clearing your plates ... I wonder if they were eager to bring out your dessert in a timely basis (since they make it to order??).
I was a bit miffed at the short ribs - mostly because the waiter HIGHLY recommended them and said it was every better than the rib eye or filet (while it wasn't even CLOSE). I wondered if they were just trying to push them out of the kitchen (especially because they weren't very good).
In any case, I hope all went well with the sitter and you were able to have a relaxing b'day night out!
re: The Oracle
STOP IT!! I was there Thursday too!! except i was there at 5pm. Although i don't know what you look like i'm sure i didn't see you as everyone around us were couples or two tops.
Yeah, i was miffed about the short ribs as well. they were a bit dry and not what i expected.
we went to vertical after that and got some wine flights that were ok. when did flights of wine become so big? ok, maybe that's just me not going out very often!
re: trolley
When you tire of wine flights at Vertical, you can go to Red White + Bluezz or Noir Food & Wine for more.
Red White & Bluezz
70 S Raymond Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105
Noir Food & Wine
40 North Mentor Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91106
re: trolley
We didn't show up to join our group til 6:45... how cool would that have been to meet you! :)
I always end up disappointed at Vertical (with their flights). I want to love them (as I love the space) but never feel particularly impressed with the ones I pick. Were they huge pours? or more than 3 in the flight?
re: The Oracle
Yeah, the Vertical pours don't seem all that generous. But you don't want to numb your taste buds with the first pour either.
re: The Oracle
that certainly would have been fun oracle!
you know i think me not liking the flights at vertical was due to a combination of me being too stuffed and sort of two so so wines in the flight that made it not worth it. i'd like to maybe give it another chance on an emptier stomach as it felt like a chore at that point.
I picked the italian flight for $18. The first wine was a white which was meh and the second red was meh as well. the 3rd was pretty lovely but forgot the name of it. something long and italian :)
the other issue is that the bartender got the flights and just plopped them in front of me without naming each one so i didn't really know what i was drinking. i eventually flagged her down and she named each wine which i wanted her to do in the beginning. my husband got the beer flights and he said never again. all 3 beers were flat and he wasn't sure whether they were supposed to be that way or not.
we've certainly had a better time with wine flights at red, white and bluzz and that will be the place i have my wine out next!
re: trolley
If you sign up for Roy's mailing list they send out discounts and spam. I guess I've signed up under 2 different email accounts so I've received 2 "coupons" for $20 off.
I have noticed a tendency to early clear dishes. Maybe it's course related or maybe it's to turn those tables.
Their happy hour is good, but right now I think Ruth's Chris' is better and half an hour longer. At RC everything on HH is $6 whereas it's $5 at Roy's but RC's portions are bigger.

NEWS: Does Innovation Flow From Cities?
Does Innovation Flow From Cities?
By: Cliff Kuang
A fascinating infographic from the website Quirky maps the American states where inventions are flying thick and heavy.
Invention and innovation are huge enough subjects that you rarely get any sense of their grand organization—instead, you have to settle for telling bits and pieces, like a blind man palpating the proverbial elephant. But occasionally a bird's-eye view arrives thanks to an unexpected source—in this case, Quirky, a site that gives inventors with little more than a sketch on a cocktail napkin a shot at realizing their ideas.
If you don't know Quirky, a bit of explanation first. The company, which is currently the subject of a TV show on the Sundance Channel, takes submissions from anyone with an invention. These are then voted on by Quirky's thousands of users, and eventually the best ideas go into production. All of which is to say, among the thousands of entries that Quirky receives, you get a little bit of a sense of what people are trying to invent—and by extension, the areas of daily life where people find problems every day:
The top-most chart is sort of a blur of information, so I'm going to focus on the bottom two, which actually tell you some pretty fascinating things. Let's start with the last one. Innovations seem to be centered around electronics, kitchen, and organization. Not terribly surprising in a way, but it tells you that those are the places where people find the most room for improvement in their lives. Put another way, these are the avenues that are already filled with the most tools that we interact with on a daily basis—and we invent by improving what we encounter every day.
With that in mind, let's move onto the map. Obviously, most of the ideas seem to be flowing from the big cities around the country: New York, L.A., San Francisco, Washington, etc. But adding up those figures, over half of Quirky's submissions come from states with mega-cities.* Doing a quick back-of-the-envelope calculation, about half of America's 300 million people live in those same states. In other words, the innovations seem to be flowing at a steady per capita rate; cities are not over-represented.
At long last, perhaps the nature of innovation is changing thanks to the Internet.
This is precisely the opposite of what most studies of innovation would tell you: That cities account for the lion's share of inventions flowing from countries around the world. This is usually attributed to the fact that cities and their greater densities afford amplified possibilities for interaction and idea exchange—which leads to more innovation. (For two brilliant explorations of this idea, listen to this episode of Radiolab and this article from the New York Times Magazine.) But what makes a site like Quirky interesting is that everyone gets a shot. Just look at the craziest outlier on the map: Montana, one of the most sparsely populated states in the country, accounts for nearly 7% of all the submissions to Quirky.
Of course, the social scientists who praise cities as innovation engines are almost certainly right, in general: For one, the raw numbers of ideas being submitted is only a vague proxy for innovation activity. (The ideas coming from the hinterlands might simply be worse than the ideas coming from the cities, for example.) And the numbers I've crunched are undoubtedly crude, since they're based on statewide figures.
But there is, nonetheless, anecdotal evidence that the nature of innovation is changing thanks to the Internet. Internet hype-men used to bleat about this idea in 2000, but it's taken 10 years for it to happen, thanks to a uniquely 2011 business model such as Quirky's.

Personally, I'm torn on Lowry. When he's played well, he's played REALLY well (but as a #1 option in an Allen Iverson type role). I'm not sure if that's the type of PG I want when building a team from scratch.
On the other hand, he pretty much had to take on that Iverson role since we have very few other weapons on this roster.

Much was made of all the turnover on the New York Knicks roster during the offseason, but while the newcomers on this Knicks roster will have to wait at least one more day to make their debuts for their new team, a couple former Knicks made their debuts in new uniforms last night, most notably Jeremy Lin and Landry Fields.
Lin started at point guard for the Houston Rockets and had a decent debut in the Rockets 105-96 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
His debut was overshadowed by that of James Harden, but Lin finished with 12 points, eight assists and four steals on 5-of-12 shooting. Much of Lin's assists were made easy from the insane performance of Harden, but Lin wasn't bad. On the negative side, he missed both of his three-point attempts and turned the ball over four times.
Fields on the other hand wasn't so fortunate.
The former Knicks' guard started for the Raptors and was held scoreless, missing all six of his shots from the floor, grabbing only two rebounds and one assist as the Raptors ended up blowing a fourth quarter lead and lost to the Indiana Pacers 90-88.
Other former Knicks who debuted for new teams included Toney Douglas for Houston (two points, one assist in 13 minutes) and Jared Jeffries for the Portland Trail Blazers (no points, two rebounds in nine minutes).

Niners' Smith suffers concussion against Rams
San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith left Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams with a concussion.
Smith suffered the concussion late in the first quarter on a quarterback scramble. As he began to slide, he turned his back to linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar, who hit Smith around the neck area.
Smith stayed in the game temporarily and even threw a touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree in the second quarter.
Colin Kaepernick replaced Smith later in the frame.

Deion Sanders' estranged wife is a "gold diggin h*e" who has been screwing around behind Deion's back ... this according to the NFL star's daughter.
Deiondra Sanders -- Deion's 19-year-old daughter from a previous relationship -- just BLASTED her step-mom on her Twitter account ... claiming Pilar Sanders has been a TERRIBLE wife to her famous father.
Before she unleashed, Deiondra apologized to her father -- claiming Deion "is going to be very upset at me 4 he always takes the higher route."
Then ... she GOES OFF -- claiming Pilar straight up LIED when she claimed she found out Deion filed for divorce on TMZ.com.
Deiondra writes, "#HowYouDidntKnow but yo boxes have been packed for weeks now."
She adds, "HowYoTopPriorityBeen yo marriage and yo kids when u flying out to see other n**gas ... yeah we know."
Deiondra added, "All u had to do was be a supportive wife. Only thing u ever cared about doing with my dad is reality shows."
"Pilar stop tryna play the victim. Maybe if u would of actually loved my dad and not loved the life he gave you we would be here today."
Pilar's lawyer, Larry Friedman, tells TMZ ... "Marriage is a relationship between two adults and it doesn't involve engaging this kind of faceless accusations made by his child."
He adds, "If Deion has something to say, he'll battle it out at the courthouse. Meanwhile Pilar is still trying to protect her children and save her marriage."
Well, all that rant showed was what a ghetto rat, nasty b*tch the daughter is! LOL Pilar's looking better in comparison. Let daddy run his own life, girl. You stick to learning how to speak English and educate yourself. With what you're showing now, you'll be doing the same things you're accusing Pilar of, if you're not already.
I don't blame her for being peeved at Pilar. As his wife she should have encouraged him to send ALL of his children to private school. This girl sounds like she was raised in the hood. This girl has made Deion and Pillar look bad with her ghetto lingo.
Jeez, Dion couldn't deny paternity of that girl even if he wanted to. Slap a wig on him and they look identical.
Its "we wouldn't be here today" sweetheart. What happened to second grade honey? Did you skip that grade? DO your forget how to spell/write proper grammar when your upset. On a side note I am sure everything you said is true just try saying it a little better.
Honey it's time for daddy to grow up, I could see this coming from a mile away, just be glad he's putting a stop to this foolishness.
That girl needs to mind her own damn business. How dare she put out her family's business like that! She made herself look DUMB.
P.S. Anyone who navagates other celebrity news sites beware with radaronline . com.....I caught the Vista virus while visitng their page x 2 (Once with out protection & then another but my new software caught it)
....I think the daughter is raging with jealousy...she is a adult now ..and acting like a jealous girlfriend..and btw...her illiteracy just negated any reference to her feelings about the wife...I would suggest..move on in ur life with the blessings ur father has provided for u..and not worry about a grown mans problems...take care of your rage and education for starters!
She's writing on twitter people, not her thesis, it doesn't have to be grammatical correct and I'm pretty sure it won't be in in 140 characters when you have to shorten words. If you can comment on what she was saying, I'm pretty sure you understood what she was saying. Stop using the "ghetto" excuse, because there are plenty of preppy kids writing the exact same way!
Am I one of the few people who is looking past the poor grammar and focusing on the content? This young woman is, as my students would say, going INNNNNNN lol. I wasn't in that marriage so I will not sit here and take sides but I will say that there must be some validity to her statements because no one will go on a rant that extreme to only be spewing hatred and lies. We only saw the Pilar from her two reality television shows but once the cameras went off who knows how her personality changed. I wish nothing but the best for this family. Lord help them....
Yeah I have a hard time believing that a guy with a mouth as big as her fathers tha he doesn't cheat more than her!
She called her a gardening tool? Or do you mean "ho"?
That was just PAINFUL to read. No Hooked on Phonics in that household, that's for damm sure. And Deiondra?? Good grief, that's about as classy and original as "Jermajesty Jackson". What is wrong with these people?!
heffa....stay out of your cheating pops business
Pilar Sanders should have known "playing the victim" would "BACKFIRE"!!! Daughters are quite naturally very "protective" of their fathers and Deiondra was just waiting for an "opportunity" to "POUNCE"!!! Trashing Deiondra "ISN'T" going to "change" the FACTS!!! Pilar "KNEW" the "AX" was about to FALL and WHY!!!

Throughout their entire history, Mormon women have never been equal to their male counterparts.. As evidence that this is a sexist cult, Mormon women even today are not permitted to attain the priesthood, thus relegating them to a different status as members of the Church. In fact, they are taught that their greatest reward as a member of this cult is to be eternally pregnant in the hereafter and, thus fulfill the sexual fantasies of her husband the god who will be allowed to married to countless women and have sex with them. Historically, Mormonism has a long and troubling history of violence, including murder especially in the nineteenth century. Their history of further contributing to the degradation women by practicing polygamy before the United States government banned this practice in the 1890's is well documented. This sordid history is directly linked to Mormonism being what it is today- a psychosexual cult. So, it's not any wonder that Joseph Smith, the founder of the cult was married at least 35 times. Unfortunately for him, he chose to marry the wives and daughters of the citizens of Carthage, Illinois which directly related to his murder while being incarcerated in a local jail. Brigham Young, the second prophet of the Church, was married 27 times. When Brigham Young was the prophet, he had total control of what went on in most Mormon families in the Utah territory. If a Mormon woman committed adultery, for example, her husband could call over, kiss her goodbye and then, cut her throat. Evidence clearly shows that Brigham Young permitted such abhorrent behavior. Therefore, women have been treated as second class citizens in Mormonism from the beginning and continue to be so today. They teach that the Mormon Jesus was married to several women and that he fathered many children. Such teachings are totally contrary to the Bible.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
You think you beat those people, don't you? Well you didn't. There's only one way to lick a mob, sister, join them. You're not a hypocrite if you admit it. Most of the trouble in this world comes from people who have beliefs. The answer is: don't have any! If you have none, you can assume the ones that happen to pay.

Burkitt, Michael (2011) Investigation of the importance of individual members of the Nuclear Factor-κB family during Helicobacter felis induced gastric carcinogenesis. Doctoral thesis, University of Liverpool.
|PDF (Investigation of the importance of individual members of the Nuclear Factor-κB family during Helicobacter felis induced gastric carcinogenesis) - Submitted Version
Available under License Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives.
Gastric cancer is the final outcome of a well-defined process of inflammation, remodelling of the gastric mucosal architecture and finally carcinogenesis. In humans, the trigger to develop gastric epithelial inflammation is infection with Helicobacter pylori. Whilst the pathological progression following Helicobacter infection has been well described, the reasons why some individuals progress towards gastric carcinogenesis, whilst others do not, remain relatively poorly understood. Previous studies in transgenic mice have demonstrated an association between classical pathway NF-κB signalling and Helicobacter induced gastric pathology. However the roles of specific NF-κB family members and of alternative pathway NF-κB signalling have not previously been investigated. We hypothesised that individual NF-κB proteins would play specific roles in determining the onset of Helicobacter induced gastric pathology, and that these pathways may influence the eventual outcome of Helicobacter infection. To address these hypotheses we used transgenic mice with constitutive deletions of NF-κB1, NF-κB2 and c-Rel, along with the established H. felis model of murine gastric cancer. Animals were studied at 6 and 48 weeks post infection. NF-κB1 null mice developed gastric inflammation and atrophy even without infection when aged to 1 year. These animals also developed more advanced gastric atrophy and metaplasia when infected with Helicobacter felis for 1 year. c-Rel null mice demonstrated similar epithelial pathology to wild-type mice, but following long-term infections developed significant atypia in infiltrating lymphoid cells, in keeping with c-Rel playing a role in gastric lymphomagenesis. In contrast NF-κB2 null mice developed minimal pathology at both 6 and 48 weeks following infection, and hence appear to be resistant to gastric corpus atrophy in response to Helicobacter felis infection. These findings confirm the previously known role for classical pathway NF-κB signalling in epithelial cancers, and suggest that this is an NF-κB1 specific effect, rather than being mediated by c-Rel. We provide the first description of c-Rel null mice showing enhanced gastric lymphomagenesis, and also describe profound resistance to Helicobacter induced gastric pathology in mice with abrogated alternative pathway NF-κB signalling, a pathway that has not previously been investigated in studies of epithelial carcinogenesis.

Posted Feb 05, 2013By
SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) – Lindsey Vonn crashed during the super-G and has been taken by helicopter to a hospital from the world championships after apparently injuring her right knee.
The American lost balance on her right leg while landing after a jump. Her ski came off immediately, and Vonn slid off course and hit a gate before coming to a standstill.
Vonn received medical treatment on the slope for 12 minutes before going to the hospital.
She trailed race leader Tina Maze of Slovenia by 0.12 seconds shortly before the crash.
The race, which was postponed for 3 1/2 hours because of fog, restarted after a 15-minute delay.
A welcome home celebration was held in honor of olympian Mikaela Shiffri in Vail on Friday, March 28, 2014.

The Pats always cheat. Thus, there is no reason for this thread. Lock por favor and let's hope that the Jets win on Sunday.
There are three constants in this thread:
- The Patriots are allowed to do things other teams can't. 85+% win percentage at home is illogical beyond logic without biased officiating. Period. We've seen it. Other teams have seen it. Its just simply the truth.
- The Jets aren't allowed to do those same things. The fact that they keep getting called for things that other teams get away with is pathetic.
- Patriots fans think that their team really is THAT good, and that trolling Jets fan forums makes them cool, hip, funny and TOTALLY not a lifeless loser.
what does it say about the character of a fan base where they constantly deny charges of cheating when shown blatant truth. Face trolls because that is what you are. You are trolling another teams board. Mostly because you feel you must... there is nothing light-hearted or in jest when I say your team cheated and it has been proved. The only reason the supreme court did not wiegh in with a descion was because it was deeemed that teh NFl is nto sport in any means of th term but more like the wwe.
three truths I see
your team cheated to win the super bowls and have not won since -truth
the nfl covered it up to save face by destroying the the tapes-truth
in doing so they lost the respect of 31 teams fans who now question every call because for a league where they make billions of dollars they can not have full time officials bringing into question every call-truth
I'l throw in the fourth one for you
The pats fans on this board have no place trolling here week in and out you guys are here. I never post on another teams boards to defend (not out of respect but because I do not like atogonizing people and that is 75% of cheater fans do)anything but something compels you to do so. It is not honor it is an inferiority complex that drives you....Truth
As great as their defensive minds are, the last person I'd want on the sidelines calling my defense on a final drive of the game is ANYONE named Ryan. They just don't get it done when the last defensive series will decide the game.
Hey, you know what never happened? Danny Woodhead's go-ahead touchdown run with :52 left against Arizona last year getting called back on a phantom holding call. I know it never happened, because the Pats always get ref help at the end of games. Some of the fans here would never exaggerate about something like that.
Still waiting for one of you Jets fans who are convinced that there is actual collusion between the NFL and the Pats to explain why you would bother watching such a crooked league. It makes no sense.
Kraft is still pissed about the check that the Post Office lost during the 2008 season.

Data Shows Positive Biz Aircraft Sales Signs
First-quarter 2011 business jet and turboprop sales and retail transactions were positive, according to data providers Amstat and JetNet. "There are a lot of promising trends here," wrote Amstat executive v-p Tom Benson in the company's latest market update report. About 14.2 percent of the worldwide business aviation jet fleet is for sale, down from 14.7 percent three months ago. The turboprop fleet dropped to 11.6 percent from 11.9 percent. During the first quarter of 2011, 2.4 percent of the active worldwide business jet fleet changed hands, he noted, which is low compared with the 3.3-percent historical average, but the same for the fourth quarter of 2010. "It's still a very difficult market–maybe better than a year ago–but still tough." JetNet reported business jet sale transactions climbing 17.3 percent in this year's first quarter, compared with the same period last year. And turboprop sale transactions rose 10.8 percent during the first quarter of this year. "All the leading indicators in the pre-owned business jet market are showing early-stage recovery signs," JetNet's first-quarter pre-owned market report explained, "except for continued softness in average asking price. We have noted that the business jet average asking price is down by one-third in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010."

League of Legends Hits Mid-Season – You're Fired!
The League of Legends Championship Series Spring Season (or LCSSS, as I like to call it) came to an end over the past week, and the time's come to see who gets canned and has to queue for welfare. Top competitors spread across Europe and North America had the chance to compete this past weekend for a guaranteed spot going forward, and a share of the $100,000 in prizes. A nice lump of pocket money. And that's before the chance to represent their region in the World Championship, and walk away with a cool million. As a form of employment it's a little bit ridiculous, but the high stakes and a surprise upset or two made for an exciting weekend of gaming. And as always I was there to watch it so you don't have to. You should though, it's entertaining stuff.
The story from Euro-land
The Spring Season began much as everyone had expected here in Europe, with the four big names Fnatic, EG, Gambit and SK Gaming all trading wins to perch in the upper half – where they'd stay for the remainder of the proceedings. As the weeks progressed it became clear consistency was the most valuable commodity, and teams with tried and tested playstyles had a much easier time of things. Fnatic and Gambit in particular led the pack, finishing in first and second place respectively – it's something of a struggle to identify a weak link in either team. Gambit's Alex Ich, Diamond and EDward were the team's stand-out players (even securing spots in Europe's All-Star team), while over on Fnatic it was all about xPeke week after week. SK Gaming look to be on form, so long as they can keep their cool – their worst enemy being their ability to completely throw a game. Despite only managing to take one game off either of the two top finishers; they rounded out the season in a respectable third.
EG on the other hand never quite found their feet, taking fourth place with a shaky 15-13 win-loss. The patient playstyle of Season 2 seems to have been figured out – yes, it was as boring as a car boot sale but there's no arguing with results. Although the first couple of weeks yielded victories, newcomers began pinching victories from the former titans as they settled in. In particular the first super week saw them drop games to three of the bottom four finishers, hefty upsets given their previous tournament experience. A stronger showing in the final weeks kept them above the midway line, but if they can't pull out a victory at the weekend it may all be for nought.
Speaking of the bottom four, these were at times the most entertaining to watch. Dragonborns began the season in flying form and their out-and-out aggression and unorthodox champion choices earned them a comfortable mid-table position. It wasn't to last though, floundering as their inexperience began to show, ending with an unmatched losing streak and a disappointing 6-22 record. In their element during hectic combat, but paying a heavy price for indecision as the pace slowed – something which also reared its head when settling on a lineup. Ozone GIANTS had a strong showing in the qualification series for the LCS but never found their rhythm, becoming the most forgettable team of the season despite some strong players.
On the other hand you couldn't help but notice Copenhagen Wolves. The combination of a substitute mid-laner and relative inexperience made for an excruciating start, failing to secure a single win in the opening fixtures for a 0-9 record. Fortunately the triumphant return of Bjergsen (after he turned 17 in February) completely transformed the team. His mid-lane dominance rallied the Wolves, making them the ones to watch in the bottom half. Eventually finishing in 5th -just behind EG – they were the team nobody wanted to face going into the playoffs. Wrapping up the EU circuit, Against All Authority were another team with upset potential. Their AD Carry Nono is, simply put, a beast – carrying the team to a respectable 6th place. Swapping Karalius for Dioud in the latter weeks of the tournament provided a welcome shakeup, transforming the team from somewhat mediocre to possible contenders going into the playoffs.
- Fnatic
- Gambit BenQ
- SK Gaming
- EG Raidcall
- Copenhagen Wolves
- Against All Authority
- Ozone Giants
- Dragonborns
Meanwhile, in America
On the other side of the Atlantic, Curse carried their dominance of the qualification playoffs over to the LCS proper, and looked untouchable for most of the season. Likewise, Dignitas opened the season strong and rarely strayed from winning ways. A last minute wobble saw both teams end the season with a 1-4 record – dropping Curse to second place and Dignitas to third and into the playoffs, a result which is sure to sting. The end of the Spring stretch also saw Curse drop longtime support player Elementz in favour of Rhux, which suggests that some in-house troubles have prompted their sudden streak of losses.
TSM, on the other hand, opened the season looking decidedly unlike the team that took Season 2 by storm. A few shaky weeks ultimately led to the dismissal of AD Carry Chaox and his replacement with WildTurtle, a somewhat inexperienced alternative. The lineup changes would prove to be the boost they needed however, as their rediscovered aggressive play style came to the fore in the final weeks, culminating in a 5-0 weekend and jumping them into first place. This would of course not have been possible if not for the poor showing of both Curse and Dignitas, but the top seed going into the summer tournaments may just be the confidence boost the team needs to maintain their winning ways. This is also the second time TSM have hit a slump, dropped a member and come back stronger than before, which could prove to be an interesting trend should they run into troubles further down the line.
Fourth place in the standings was taken by CLG, a team which has one strategy and sticks to it. On the one hand, I admire their ability to spot their strengths and stick to what they know. On the other, every other team is well aware of the strategy and seems to know exactly how to play against it. Whereas EG, formerly CLG.EU, have attempted to adapt to the Season 3 changes in an attempt to compete with the top standings of Europe, their former NA counterpart looked to be scraping through some games on experience alone – a strategy which looked more and more unstable as the season progressed. Of the top four teams, they're certainly the most predictable and least interesting to watch, but results are results.
The bottom half of the table is made up by Vulcun (who qualified under the name Team FeaR), Good Game University, Team MRN and Complexity (formerly The Brunch Club) respectively. Of these, none particularly distinguished themselves as true competitors to the more established names over the course of the regular season. Vulcun certainly look like the best of the bunch with a number of good showings, including a 3-0 in week three and a 4-1 over the final weekend, but in the final standings only a single victory separated the field. The second half of the season also saw all four teams make roster changes, with BloodWater jumping ship from GGU to Vulcun, the latter filling their vacancy with Daydreamin, MRN picking up Nientonsoh as their new AD Carry and Complexity replacing their mid lane with Prolly. Each had an impact, but given the timing it seemed like too little too late. The skill gap, which was apparent earlier in the season, has noticeably shortened over the course of events and the midseason playoffs held over the past weekend proved any team can be beaten on the day.

- Curse
- Team Dignitas
- Counter Logic Gaming

An Upsetting Playoff
Going into the playoffs, the top two finishers from each region received a first class ticket straight to the semi-finals (and the only guaranteed spots in the Summer season) while the next four in line fought for a place at the main event.
In Europe this resulted in SK taking on AAA to face Gambit, and EG versus Wolves to take on Fnatic. SK were the clear favourite going into their matchup but given Gambit's unbeaten record over AAA, not to mention their significant loss to the former in the last few weeks, they must have been rooting for the French team. A surprise disqualification for AAA however, meant the game never even happened – an unfortunate family emergency for one of their players leaving them a man short and unable to make up the roster on short notice.
The second game was the matchup everyone wanted to see and, with both teams finishing the Spring season in top form. Ultimately EG took the best-of-three in decisive fashion and secured their place alongside SK, Fnatic and Gambit – sending AAA and Copenhagen Wolves to join Dragonborns and Giants in the promotion series, and threatening relegation from the LCS entirely. The remainder of the competition would play out according to form, with Fnatic beating EG and Gambit taking down SK as expected. The last match of the day went the full five games, with Fnatic emerging victors and proud recipients of an oversized novelty cheque for €50,000. The battle for third place saw EG take down SK Gaming in two straight games, a result which is sure to be satisfying given their shaky start earlier in the year.
The North American playoffs proved to be much more exciting, providing the surprises and upsets viewers had been hoping for. CLG versus Vulcun had the makings of a thriller – CLG having trouble against the newcomers so far this year (ending the series 2-2, the playoff game would be the decider). Unable to find a solid footing, the long-standing veterans would ultimately crumble under the weight of AD Carry Zuna's relentless assault and propel Vulcun to a semi-final spot with a guaranteed place in the Summer games. Continuing the David vs. Goliath billings, GGU came at Dignitas with all guns blazing. In a result I don't think anyone expected the underdogs took victory in a hard-fought series and knocked Dignitas (formerly holders of first place in the NA league) into the scrap for promotion. GGU would continue punishing those betting against them into the semi-finals, where they were able to take down Curse. TSM would eventually put an end to their fairytale in the finals, but for GGU it was an encouraging weekend of games, taking second and third place scalps as a sixth place team. The argument could be made that both Curse and Dignitas failed to perform, but if they can't compete on the day there's little hope of victory when the World Championships roll around.
The top four teams from the mid-season playoffs advance to the Summer Season league, and the chance to represent their region against the best the world has to offer. The two losing teams join the bottom two from the Spring Season standings (Giants and Dragonborns in EU, MRN and Complexity in NA) in a promotion tournament. Here they must face off against the top amateur teams to win their spot back. Otherwise they're out – losing their professional salary and likely any team sponsorships. So no more free stuff. There's a lot on the line, and for a young gamer there are certainly worse ways to make a living, so the competition is sure to be fierce. It's difficult to imagine, given their experience over the last ten weeks, that any of the professional teams will fail to win their place back. For both Dignitas and CLG however, this was a disastrous weekend of games and with everything on the line they were unable to deal with the young blood. Complexity, MRN and a host of upcoming amateur teams will all be eager to stop them, and if the NA playoffs have shown us anything it's that one day of games can turn everything around.
Starting a Riot
Finally, credit must be given to Riot Games for how they've organised the LCS, despite the complex league system. Each match is broadcast live with excellent commentary, pre and post-game analysis as well as player interviews and videos. The commentators in particular have the tough job of breaking down each play as it happens without alienating the uninitiated and the two-man commentary team for each game does a remarkable job of keeping things entertaining without statistical overload. Their esports team as a whole has done a stellar job of making the Championship Series a reality, so hats off to them. Of the NA and EU setups I have to say I prefer the European production due to the simple addition of a live audience. The players have said again and again that the presence of a cheering crowd pushes them to take chances and play in a way which they probably wouldn't in a closed environment, and this makes for games which are, on average, much more exciting to watch than their American counterparts. The NA studio does have a giant touch-screen television for play-by-play analysis though. It's hard to argue with a giant TV.

Do I Really Need to Tithe to the Church?
- Thursday, May 22, 2014
A few years ago Suzanne Staline of the Wall Street Journal wrote an article called, "The Backlash Against Tithing."[i] She noted for the Journal's readers what Christian pastors have presumed for quite some time: giving to the church is on the decline. As these pastors seek to reverse the trend and encourage tithing to the local church, many members object. Some oppose their dollars being spent on "coffee bars and widescreen TVs." Some take issue with the implication (or outright teaching of some) that giving convinces God to bless them materially—the so-called prosperity gospel. Still others simply aren't convinced that tithing is biblical.
A question I'm regularly asked about giving is slightly different: "Does all our tithe have to go to our church or can I give part of it to a Christian ministry?" I love the heart behind the question. Those who ask it want to be good stewards of their wealth, they care about the local church, and they have a serious desire to bless outside ministries. Those are all great things.
Let me give my answer to this question and then share how I got there: There is a Christian responsibility to give generously to the local church and a Christian freedom to give generously outside the local church. To flesh out this answer, I need to say a word about the tithe and a word about the local church.
A Word about the Tithe
We know from several parts of the Old Testament that the tithe was a central component of Israelite worship. In Malachi 3:8-10 God's people are scolded for withholding their "tithes and contributions." When you add up all the giving commandments Israelite's faced, it comes to about 25% of their yearly income. The first tithe (or tenth) went to the Levites. This priestly tribe was not given land so they depended upon the people to provide for them (Lev 27; Num 18; Neh 10). In addition, every Israelite contributed a second tithe to the yearly religious festivals (Deut 14). Another tithe was given to the needy and it was exacted every three years (Deut 14). Thus, about a quarter of their income, each year, was to be brought to the Temple for the support of the priests, the festivals and the poor.
In Malachi's day, God rebuked Israel for its stinginess. They failed to trust God to meet their needs while they faithfully obeyed his command to give. Sadly, we can understand their failure to trust the Lord, especially in financial matters. It's easy to forget the fact that we don't need stuff, we need God. Psalm 20:7, "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God." We shouldn't be surprised to discover that sending 25% of their income away was a real act of faith for these Israelites.
When we get to the New Testament, we don't find similar commands to tithe. In Christianity there is no Temple to support. Though we are to provide for those who teach us the Word of God (1 Tim 5:17-18) as well as for the widows (1 Tim 5:3) and poor in the body (James 2:14-17), no amount is given.

Musketeers Have Strong Showings On The Diamond This Summer
Sept. 11, 2013
CINCINNATI - Five Xavier University baseball players put together stellar seasons in their respective summer leagues, with four of those players earning spots on All-Star teams.
Senior outfielder Mitch Elliott, who turned heads with a Sports Center Top 10 play during the 2013 Atlantic 10 Championships, was tabbed the Futures Collegiate Baseball League's Top prospect after finishing second in the league with a .358 batting average. Elliott also ripped seven doubles and three home runs and earned a spot on the all-star team.
Junior pitcher Jacob Bodner was stellar on the mound in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League. Bodner registered a spotless 0.00 ERA with 14 saves and 35 strikeouts in 20 innings. His efforts also earned him a spot on the all-star squad.
Andre Jernigan, a red-shirt freshman infielder, and Daniel Rizzie, a sophomore catcher, joined Bodner in the Hamptons League. Jernigan was tabbed an all-star and finished the summer with a .248 average, five doubles, two triples, three home runs and four stolen bases. Rizzie led his team with a .315 batting average. He also connected on five doubles and a homer this summer.
Daniel Przeniczny was named to the all-star team in the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League. A junior pitcher for the Musketeers, Przeniczny hit .244 this summer with three doubles and eight stolen bases.
Xavier is in the midst of fall conditioning and will begin fall practice in a few weeks. The Musketeers enter competition in the BIG EAST this spring.

Duo Smashes Around-the-world Helo Speed Record
The "Grand Adventure" concluded yesterday morning at New York La Guardia Airport. Helicopter pilots Scott Kasprowicz and Steve Sheik flew a stock twin-engine 2007 AgustaWestland A109S Grand 20,078 miles in a little more than 11 days, shattering the old record by almost six days. The pair beat the record without auxiliary fuel tanks, chase airplanes or an elaborate mission control. En route, they also set a new New York to London helicopter speed record, making the 3,449-nm trip in 40 hours 41 minutes and breaking the previous record by more than 35 hours. The round-the-world helicopter speed record had stood since 1996, when pilots Ron Bower and John Williams flew a Bell 430, outfitted with auxiliary fuel tanks, a distance of 20,508 miles in 17 days, 6 hours and 14 minutes. Kasprowicz and Sheik launched just after 3 a.m. on August 7. Their northerly route took them over the Atlantic, through Europe, Russia, Alaska and Western Canada before they began a circuitous route of the lower 48 states to amass the necessary mileage for the new record.
