please help ny foodie going to naples
Going to naples over christmas, love all types of food (adventerous eaters). Let us know your favorites! Thank you
Well, Naples is not exactly adventurous territory in culinary ways or otherwise...heh! But, you'll find excellent fresh fish dishes at USS Nemo's on Tamiami Trail North (U.S. 41) and how could I overlook Truluck's on 5th Avenue South for the stone crab claws, a real treat...nice Persian restaurant called "Bha Bha!" on Vanderbilt Beach Road in North Naples...excellent Cuban at Havana's at corner of Airport Road and Immokalee Road and another very good one is Fernandez de Bull on Airport Road South. Have not been there yet but have heard stellar comments about Escargot 41 on Tamiami Trail North. Sorry, I just cannot in good faith recommend any Italian or Chinese restaurants in Naples to someone from NY!
I agree with Val's recommendations however I would suggest Campiello for Italian. I just ate there last week and dinner was delicious. It's not your standard Italian American menu and they have a wood burning oven. Reserve immediately, if not sooner.
I would also recommend Chops. It's a hip atmosphere with excellent fusion cooking. I particularly like the grouper, which of course is our local fish.
Bleu Provence has good French bistro, but of course you can have that in NY.
For lunch, try Grouper & Chips for the best fried grouper.
re: RevrendAndy
yep to Campiello...I just haven't been there in years so couldn't give a recommendation based on any recent visit! Good to know that they are still up there.
I am a big fan of Campiellos (Italian) but we have only had lunch there but its always been very good. Handsome Harry's is also a favorite and the chef is really creative.
Don't forget Chrissy's (in Bayfront - not wildside on Pine Ridge) for breakfast or lunch. You WILL get a seat at Bayfront, whereas the other is generally too crowded. Any of the specials are supurb!
There is an off-the-beaten-track restaurant in Naples called The Real Macaw. Carribean-themed food, some caged birds as decor on the outskirts, somewhat hard to find the first time -- make sure you have good directions and bring a cell phone. Used to be cash only, but by no means inexpensive. Wonderful hot cornbready madeleines to start -- I'm blanking on what they call them... Good food, some of it spicy if asked. Definitely unique, not at all like all the other places along 5th with more hoity-toity atmosphere that imitate places you can go to in NYC.
re: nosh
Kids will love the macaws! I think there are 2 or 3 there and the owner regularly brings them around if anyone wants to hold them. It is not cash only anymore and their Kobe mini-burgers are good. It is one of the few places you can get sweet potato fries. I have only eaten from the bar menu but I think the apps are great.
Caution on going on Sunday nights. Not for the timid (or children).
re: sparkalina
What goes on at The Real Macaw on Sunday nights? Maybe I should make a reservation now!
Campiello's is wonderful food if you like really rich dishes. They do not skimp on the fat, but it's worth every gram. I've never had a bad meal there. I love their brussel sprouts side dish. Their sommelier really knows his stuff and is very helpful. He loves to chat about obscure wines and gets excited when he chooses The Right One for you. Cafe Lurcat is very good too.
The biggest disappointment in Naples is the lack of adventure when it comes to getting a fun meal. Ethnic food is poor at best.I am a retired chef and now go on vacations elsewhere just to eat.Naples is consistent at producing the worst chinese food of anywhere I have ever been. The few Thai places are average at best but acceptable. One chain deli that is very average. Plenty of overpriced steak houses and fifth ave spots that think they are creative,but overpriced and bland.No good Indian,Italian, spanish,mexican,etc.(except for the small taco stands catering to the working people of dishwashers and farm workers and the occasional adventure seeker).There is a good greek restaurant on Bonita beach road that is family owned called Zorbas, but these places are few and far between. I am not a food snob, I can go for a five star dining night to a street dirty water dog on a NYC street corner as long as it is made right.I just feel Naples just doesn't get it
re: traumachef
You are SO right, traumachef! So much of the food is dumbed down too to appease the retirees, it's horrid. It is a vast culinary wasteland. I'll be trying Zorbas sometime soon, so thanks for that tip; how's their falafel?
re: Val
they don't have falafel being greek, but they do have a good gyro and a great lunch special with a delicious greek salad. they also have an appetizer special that is excellent, too much for one though. They sell the best imported feta in Florida, but you have to ask for it and it only comes in a 3 pound tub. But it is worth it. This place is family run and the service is superb as is most of the food and I don't even like greek that much, but I do like things done right.
re: traumachef
Falafel is Middle East in origin but I have had it in 3 or 4 Greek restaurants and they also offer it at St. Katherine's Greek Festival here in Naples so it may be considered Greek food nowadays, I guess. I've had it at S'Agapo Greek restaurant in Naples (too greasy) but their Avgolemono soup is the bomb and I've had it at Pelagos in Naples and it's crunchy and delicious but Pelagos' Avgolemono soup is terrible. Hope to try Zorba's very soon, falafel or not!
well we drive over there quite often from Miami and we have two favorites. On the main drag of downtown naples, there is a lovely Tapas place called Cafe Barcelona. Although the menu is by no means inventive, however it is authentic and fresh, the service is terrific and they have awesome Sangria. We also enjoy ROY's which is a chain, however after eating at the orginal roys in Honolulu, this one did really well and capturing the spirit and we have had a couple of good meals there.
We also enjoy driving over to Sanibel and Captiva Island, lots of funky restaurants!
After a difficult time finding a place to have dinner on a rainy night in Naples, DH and I stumbled upon the Greek Gourmet, and it turned out to be the BEST GREEK FOOD we have ever had, and we have had Greek food in at least five states. It was so good that we went back the next day for lunch too! I think it's on Tamiami Trail (the main road), across the street from the hospital and next to a Dairy Queen. It is totally unassuming, and was one of the best meals I have ever had anywhere, at any price.
Try the keftedes (greek meatballs) appetizer - sounds ordinary, but so not ordinary tasting! The moussaka and spiced green beans that were served with it were both to die for. We were too full to get around to the baklava, but it looked mighty good.
For an upscale place, Chops is excellent, but not more than other trendy places in other cities. If you're looking for adventure, skip Chops.
When we were last there, I was pleased to see Naples was getting a Ted's Montana Grill, but it was opening the day after we left so we didn't get to eat there. I've eaten at the one in Tallahassee, and though it's not adventurous, it is great for comfort food - kind of like a cross between Cracker Barrel and Tony Romas, but much better.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A third infant in the United States has tested positive for the infection that led to the death of one infant, sickened another and spurred a probe of baby formula, including Enfamil by Mead Johnson Nutrition Co.
A baby in Oklahoma tested positive for Cronobacter, a bacteria that has sometimes been linked to rare illnesses in newborns and has been found in milk-based powdered baby formula, Barbara Reynolds, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Tuesday.
The baby had not consumed Enfamil formula, according to Leslea Bennett-Webb of the Oklahoma Department of Health. The baby, less than a month old, has been treated and discharged from the hospital, she said.
This is a third Cronobacter case in recent weeks, after a baby in Missouri died and another child is now recovering in Illinois, both confirmed to have been infected with Cronobacter.
The Missouri 10-day-old newborn consumed Enfamil Premium formula, while the Illinois infant was exposed to a variety of formula brands apart from Enfamil, as well as many other over-the-counter products, according to the FDA.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc and scores of other U.S. retailers pulled cans of Enfamil, but the ongoing federal investigation has so far found no link between the illnesses and the formula.
Health authorities are testing opened containers with formula, both liquid and powdered, and bottled distilled water used to feed the baby in Missouri. They are also testing closed bottles and cans from the lot collected from the family, the hospital and Walmart, where the family bought its formula.
No other formula brands in the probe have been disclosed.
Mead Johnson has said it had re-tested samples from the Enfamil Premium powdered formula and found the product to be safe, recouping some of the losses they suffered initially at the news.

We at the Girl Scouts of Nassau County want to extend a big 'thank you' to our community for making this year's Cookie Kickoff on Jan. 10 a huge success! We could not have done it without your help and support.
Because of your dedication to the Girl Scouts of Nassau County, more than 3,800 boxes of cookies were purchased by Long Islanders during the kickoff. Special thanks go to the Broadway Mall, Green Acres Mall, Roosevelt Field Mall and Westfield Sunrise for hosting our kickoff events._
In addition, the Cookie Kickoff also gave us the opportunity to re-launch Operation Cookie, a way for us to send a "taste of home" in the form of Girl Scout Cookies to our military troops overseas. Your donation of more than 150 boxes of cookies is a great start and we hope to surpass last year's donation of 30,000 boxes with your continued help.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is far from being over. The Girl Scouts of Nassau County will be selling cookies until March 30. We ask that you continue to support us throughout the end of cookie season by keeping those cookie orders coming and by spreading the word about Operation Cookie. The Girl Scout Cookie Program helps 'pay the way' for girls to experience fun activities, summer camp and even overnight trips. Each box of cookies cost $3.50 of which 75 percent of the purchase price goes back to the girls in the form of direct services.
This year, your support is imperative, especially in these current economic times! No girl is turned away from Girl Scouts of Nassau County because of an inability to pay, Cookies help us ensure that we can continue to offer Girl Scouting in Nassau County. We're excited that you still love our Girl Scout cookies. Even our newest cookie addition, Dulce de Leche, has been a huge hit!
More importantly, we appreciate that you still support our organization that builds girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. Please keep an eye out for your local Girl Scout in your neighborhood or Girl Scouts at local malls, train stations, grocery stores and more. We've made it even easier for you to find your nearest Cookie Booth with our Cookie Booth locator. Simply log on to our website, www.gsnc.org, and click on the link. And don't forget, by treating yourself to one of our delicious cookies, you help girls throughout Nassau County get the opportunity to experience the fun and joy of Girl Scouting. _
Many thanks.

Studio work
Sketches made 'on site' will be used to develop finished watercolours. Bee will demonstrate lots of ways of achieving a loose impressionistic style and will also introduce a variety of watercolour papers and new American watercolours that will add another dimension to your work.
Trips Out
Two trips have been organised. One whole day will take the group on a round trip following the Brathay River to Skelwith Bridge and then onward to Elterwater at the base of the Langdale Pikes. After lunch at the Swan Inn we head over to nearby Grasmere village to visit the Heaton Cooper Studio, meet one of the grandsons of this famous painting family and visit their newly opened gallery.
Our half day trip will take us to see the magnificent views around Coniston Lake. Each trip will have a suggested 'technique of the day'.
Evening sessions
These will give us plenty of scope for discussions, 'ad hoc' demonstrations and two brand new events. One covers a series of mini lectures called 'Snapshots of Famous Painters' where Bee will compare part of a painter's life with a timeline of special and everyday events. Our first painter will be Mr Alfred Heaton Cooper of Grasmere.
The other is called 'An Artist Abroad' where Bee's numerous sketchbooks will illustrate her travel adventures.
The holiday runs from Sunday evening to mid-morning on Friday. Prices are per person for the 5 nights and include full Cumbrian breakfast, morning coffee, 3-course dinner and VAT @ 20 %
Non-participating partners are welcome, and there is a reduction of £30 on the above prices for them.
A deposit of £150 per person is required for the holidays, which can be made by cheque or credit card. This is non-refundable unless the room is subsequently re let; cancellation insurance is available.
Bee Morrison is a highly experienced watercolour tutor with over 30 years experience of teaching adults.
She has been artist in residence on 19 cruises covering most of the world and has organised her own art holidays in the UK, France, Spain and Italy, and in recent years has been an art judge for her local art clubs.
She has written and illustrated quite a few books and has had numerous articles published on art techniques and jewellery making. Lots of her works are in private collections, including one in the Salon de Saint Owen in Paris and a portrait of the Queen in the Royal collection. She has been on 4 different national TV programmes.
Bee has a huge repertoire of sketching and painting techniques to pass on, and add to that Bee's easy teaching style and you have a holiday that is both informative and fun.

In this project, we explore two ways of customizing nearest-neighbor results for individual queries in the context of a kNN image classifier. First, we learn per-descriptor weights that minimize classification error, using backprop through the NN lookups and calculations. Second, we adapt the training set used for each query based on image context; in particular, we condition on common classes (which are relatively easy to classify) to improve performance on rare ones. The first technique helps to remove extraneous descriptors that result from the imperfect distance metrics/representations of the data. The second contribution re-balances the class frequencies, away from the highly-skewed distribution found in real-world scenes.
Created a system to classify IP addresses as likely spam or ham senders for email based on recent trap rates, using as input live streams of spam trap hits and overall mail volume estimates.
Created a system to automatically classify web page content into 30 categories, based on Bayesian classification methods. The system has categorized over 10 million sites with an estimated misclassification rate of under 10% at 50% recall.
Developed a system that rates HTTP requests with a score indicating the chance the request might fetch malicious content. The system combines multiple sources of data consisting of URL portions or IP ranges; each source may contribute positively or negatively. Reputation is used on web proxy devices to block potentially malicious requests, as well as divert from further scanning traffic that is highly likely to be clean.
Developed systems to process traffic samples sent back from web proxy appliances. IronPort has several thousand appliances deployed at customer sites throughout the world, forming a sensor network of web-related data. This data is automatically fed back into Web Reputation and other systems. We also use it to evaluate efficacy and measure new techniques.
Extracted static client code and dependencies into a dynamically updateable package, taking into account potential differences in system libraries and hardware architecture between client platform releases. Distinct from system upgrades, the engine is automatically updated live on the appliance to the current provisioned version, without any input or interaction by the administrator.
The NVLog is an intent journal used in WAFL (Write-Anywhere File Layout) to ensure data integrity in the event of a system crash or abrupt shutdown. Since all writes are logged to the journal, this part of the system was a serialization point and bottleneck. I rewrote the way journal writes are done to nearly eliminate lock contention, leading to an overall system performance gain of over 10% by throughput.
Outlined a design for dynamic microcores, a reporting and debugging feature. Microcores are partial coredump files, only a few megabytes. The project aimed to let engineers write descriptive recipes to identify memory regions, and trigger microcore generation upon hitting system events. For example, if a system message warns about possible corruption in a block, one could identify interesting memory regions relative to the in-core structures for the block and inode in the message.
Posed and investigated the question of whether the use of different interaction techniques might impact the memory of a user. I designed a set of two experiments to address this: The first, a preliminary study confirming a well-known difference in performance between positional- and velocity-based controls, helped to verify my experimental methodology. The second, a comparison between three interaction modes in an immersive environment, was statistically inconclusive. Anecdotal evidence, however, suggested that for many subjects, memory performance improved with a full-body walking interaction.
Wrote and reviewed proposals for a 6-week project in a mock grant proposal process during a class on scientific visualization. Carried out research on my project on electrode parameter settings in deep brain stimulation for obsessive compulsive disorder, collaborating with Benjamin Greenberg, a psychiatrist at Butler Hospital. Presented a poster of this project in SIGGRAPH 2004.
Created a software package for creating interactive differential geometry visualizations, and produced class labs and demonstrations using this software. Staff and students continue to use this package in new applications and to explore mathematical concepts in several courses at Brown, including differential geometry, combinatorial topology, calculus, geometry, and linear algebra. It has also been used by Prof. Banchoff in classes at UCLA, Notre Dame, University of Georgia, and (in 2010) Stanford.

CAMBRIDGE – The newest Cambridge Community Players production may just...
The selling agent for the historic Preston Springs building expects the property to be bought before year's end, after being listed for $1.295 million last week.
"We already have seven tours with potential buyers set up for this week and we just launched our marketing campaign," said Karl Innanen, managing director of Colliers International, a leading global real estate company.
The landmark at King and Fountain Streets was built in 1890 and served as a luxury hotel for decades. It later became a retirement residence, but has sat vacant since the 1990s, falling into disrepair. Redevelopment of the site has never been completed and the building's previous owner, Guelph Financial Corporation, has fallen into receivership.
Innanen, a longtime resident of Cambridge, would like to see the process for redevelopment move forward.
"We knew that this building would be of a lot of interest because of its iconic position in town, as well as people's minds," he said.
But many people are skeptical after years of planning and promises that never came to fruition.
"I hope they're prepared for a long wait," one blogger posted in an online forum.
"Unfortunately, I have a hard time seeing something beyond a very marginal use… unless the Region and Cambridge come together to re-design this area," another opined.
Many people cite traffic congestion and insufficient parking as roadblocks to making redevelopment of the five-storey structure feasible.
Coun. Karl Kiefer said the region needs to come up with a plan for the busy intersection and that a roundabout doesn't seem to be the way to go.
"I did table a motion a few weeks ago to have the mayor and the CAO meet with the (former) owners (of Preston Springs) to find out what the plans for the future are. Also, the city recently bought the Old Post Office in the Galt core for a library/cafe project. Perhaps something similar can be worked out for the Preston Springs building."
Coun. Donna Reid doesn't see that happening in the foreseeable future. She realizes that people get frustrated, because it appears council is willing to invest in Galt, not Preston.
"But part of the reason we were able to do that is because we needed to have an expansion of the library anyway, so the money that had been set aside for the expansion went into it," she said.
Local politicians would rather see the private sector take charge when it comes to Preston Springs.
"I mean its primary problem, of course, is it doesn't have parking…I stretch my imagination and I really can't come up with something that would be ideal for that location," said Reid.
Innanen contends that there is a "great deal of capital that investors are willing to put into real estate" these days.
"The alternatives of investment are very poor right now; you either get very, very low, safe returns, or you take high risks in the stock market for higher returns."

The following is a sponsored post from Staples about a product we believe in. For the past few weeks, I've been aggressively testing this product and the review is based on my first-hand experiences. We agreed to work with Staples because they sell so many different products in their stores, and our arrangement with them allows us to review products we use and have no hesitation recommending to our readers. Again, these infrequent sponsored posts help us continue to provide quality content to our audience.
When I was younger my grandfather told me, "Man was not meant to sit." At the time I thought his cheese was slipping off of his cracker, but contemporary medicine backs up his claim. Dr. Camelia Davtyan, clinical professor of medicine and director of women's health at the UCLA Comprehensive Health Program, recently told the LA Times, "Prolonged sitting is not what nature intended for us."
Score one for gramps.
Today, my job requires me to spend tremendous amount of time seated behind a desk, so I want a chair that's comfortable, supportive, well-made, easy to use, and not out to kill me. I've been testing the Staples Vayder chair ($399) for a couple of weeks and can say, a couple of quirks aside, it meets my needs and looks great doing it.
Seriously, this could not be easier. In fact, I hesitate to call it "assembly," as "snapping a few pieces together" would be more accurate. The chair ships in eight pieces: the seat, the base, the gas lift (or piece that sits between the seat and the base), and five wheels. It also comes with a small pamphlet that explains the three-step assembly process and usage details in English and French.
The wheels and gas lift snap into the base and the seat fits into the top of the lift. The whole process took me less than 10 minutes to complete. I will note, however, it's not super easy to line up the bottom of the seat with the top of the lift by yourself, so if possible get someone else to act as your eyes and guide you. Also, one of the wheels only went about 95% of the way into my base, but the first time I sat in the completed chair it popped in the rest of the way.
Controls and adjustments
Of course, I plopped down into the Vayder before reading the instructions, and found myself sitting bolt upright. Fortunately, Staples makes it easy to configure the chairs six adjustment options for a custom feel. The control levers are made of plastic and bear icons that suggest their function. Most are easy to reach from a seated position, so you won't need to move around to change things.
Seat hight is simple enough and raises or lowers the seat. Tilt Lock lets you lean back or forward and lock the seat back into one of four positions. For me, one click backward is perfect. To use it, just flip the lever down, move your back and then flick the lever back up to lock it into place.
The arm hight adjustment is something I kind of laughed at until I've tried it. When I was in college, I had a job filing and my chair's arms were so tall I couldn't get my arms on them and under the desk at the same time. The arms on the Vayder chair move up and down by several inches, and the armrests themselves also move forward and back.
Other adjustment options include back height adjustment (this is the adjustment you can't make while seated), which lets you raise or lower the back support piece, and a slide seat adjustment that lets you move just the "bottom" of the seat, for lack of a better term, forward or back.
Finally, the tension adjustment is the most interesting. Both the chair's seat and back are made of a mesh upholstery that's supremely comfortable (more on that in the next section). Tension adjustment is completed by turing a cylindrical handle just beneath the seat. Move it forward for firmer feel, backward for more relaxed.
This chair plain-old feels good. The mesh upholstery breathes so you don't get hot as you would on a typically upholstered seat. I've got the mesh set to be pretty firm, and it feels great, especially against my back. The wheels roll nicely without making a lot of noise and I've never been uncomfortable, even after two weeks of 10-hour days. Plus, it just feels solid.
In conclusion I like the Staples Vayder a lot. It does have some quirks, like that stubborn wheel and the fact that assembly is a hassle if you're by yourself, but those are minor quibbles. My real-world experience with the Vayder has been great and I look forward to many, many more hours in it.
And look at that, I got through this whole post without making one "Darth Vayder" pun.

The La Colosa Project is 100% owned by AngloGold Ashanti and is located 150 km west of Colombia's capital city, Bogota, in the department of Tolima.
Gold was the metal of choice of local Pre-Columbian populations but there were no prior mining or exploration activities in the project area before 2006 when AngloGold Ashanti's field team discovered the La Colosa gold deposit.
During a18 month period exploration drilling defined a porphyry style gold deposit amounting to 468.8 Mt grading 0.86 g/t gold for 12.9 Moz gold. The deposit remains open in several directions and has a good exploration potential.
Exploration was stopped in 2008 on environmental grounds but a partial permit was later granted by the central government.
A conceptual economic study was completed in 2008 and it envisages a mining operation that would produce about 700,000 oz gold per year over a mine life of 20 years.
Initial investment would total 3 billion dollars.
Colombia is located in the northwestern part of the South American continent and it is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the north.
Spanish conquistadores defeated a powerful confederation of Chibca tribes in 1537 and subjugated the country.
Indigenous people like the Muisca tribes were skilful miners of emeralds, copper, and coal and they were also renowned for their beautiful gold crafts.
The Colosa deposit is located over the middle part of the Central Cordillera of Colombia at 8 km northwest of the town of Cajamarca (9,309 people) and at 30 km at the west of Ibague, the capital of the Tolima Department.
Tolima is one of the 32 departments of Colombia and is located in the Andes region. Original inhabitants of the land, the Pre-Columbian indigenous Panches tribes, were fierce warriors that fought Muisca for control of the Emerald mines.
The economy of Tolima is based on agriculture and it comes at no surprise that the region is also renowned for its autochthonous cuisine.
Magdalena River traverses Tolima from south to north.
Natural hazards include volcanic eruptions and occasional earthquakes.
The Colosa porphyry system is located in the middle of the Cordillera Central of Colombia.
La Colosa is part of a Miocene calc-alkaline volcano-plutonic arc of Colombia. There are three separated stages of intrusions each one carrying different amounts of gold. They are surrounded by narrow zones of hornfels and breccias that also carry significant quantities of gold.
Drilling to date had identified 468.8 Mt grading 0.86 g/t gold for 12.9 Moz gold. The deposit remains open in several directions and has a good exploration potential.
The Colosa system had intruded a package of Paleozoic low-grade metamorphic rocks of the Cajamarca Complex.
The deposit is partially covered by dacitic pyroclastic material of the Cerro Machín volcano.
La Colosa shares some similarities with other porphyry gold systems (Maricunga Belt) but it also displays differences ? they are related to its age (8.3 Ma); the metamorphic country rock in contrast with volcanic rocks that host other deposits; the presence of pyrrhotite; and its isolated location in Northern Andes.
Water rights are to be negotiated with local communities.

Replacement Parts
- Can I shoot my rimfire .17 HMR on this target?: While the .17 HMR is a rimfire round, its velocity is too great for the reactive mechanisms of the target. This target is designed for .22 rimfire ammunition only. Can I shoot centerfire handgun rounds on this target?: While this target is made of 1/4" AR500 armor steel which can withstand the force of a centerfire handgun round, shooting it with more powerful rounds will cause it to wear out quickly and cause the reactive features of the target to malfunction. Is the entire target made of armor steel?: The target head, reactive swinging plate, and rear brackets are all made of AR500 armor steel. The rear brackets are made of armor steel to withstand the wear and tear from the friction of the reactive swinging plate. The stand is made of mild steel, but is designed to effectively shed bullets. Why is the target head angled?: All of Action Target's steel target heads are slanted downward to deflect the majority of bullet splatter toward the feet of the target.
- There are currently no replacement parts available for this product.

The helicopter landed hard and a main rotor blade separated and struck a parked airplane. At the time of the accident the winds were 190 to 250 degrees at 15 knots, gusting to 23 knots. As the pilot continued his approach to the landing pad in a northeasterly direction, the helicopter yawed to the right and the pilot applied full left pedal and pulled collective. The pilot stated that the engine was running fine, and he had experienced 'no unusual noise,' and that he had 'run out of tail rotor.' Review of a relative wind chart shows the helicopter's heading during the approach to the pad placed it in an area of the chart where unanticipated right yaw might occur.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Watch "Hold My Hand" (Duet With Akon)
Mark Pellington shot "Hold My Hand" in California with a diverse array of real Michael Jackson fans as its cast. In the video, Pellington tells the story of the song through a collage of images of both Michael and Akon as well as people representing Michael's legacy, shining a light on the aura left behind by King of Pop. As he describes, "The video is a tribute to all that Michael stands for -- life, in all its permutations...love, and its power.... A video of memory, healing and joy."

The first time i met my now partner I took her hand as we crossed the street, it was an amazing first date as we saw the dolphin's swim past. This song reminded me of that first moment, and the many more since then. I Love you
Princess and miss Michael Jacksons music...... xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
That was amazing! i love it! so many good things about Michael were put in this video.
We love you MJ <3
That was beautiful! i nearly cried we miss u sooo much Michael!!! xxx

A beautiful and creative tribute made with love.
Miss you so much Michael. Your so much alive in all your fans. You will live forever ♥
It is great loved the song and a great film clip
1st time for me I held back for I felt uncomfortable listening so work Mj had not released. Kinda went against the grain with me. I came on this site the other week after some absence. I felt home sick. I needed to be close to MJ. I see/came to the screen and clicked. " I cried " it is a lovely song & the music clip evoked emotions that made it hard to watch without filling up and smiling at the same time.

DUBLIN, Va. (AP) - A Norfolk Southern spokesman says a train crew sounded the horn before the train hit and killed a Dublin man.
Robin Chapman says the man apparently didn't look up or didn't notice the train.
Police tell media outlets that James Edward Brown was crossing the tracks in Dublin when he was hit Saturday. He died at the scene.
The accident remains under investigation.
Chapman says the train was traveling from Louisville, Ky., to Norfolk.

"Grey's Anatomy" recap (10.11): Less Talkin', More Kissin'
At Kepner's party, the gang's all there, handing out salad spinners and the like. Leah and Stephanie slip in uninvited, and Richard teaches them how to hang at the appetizer table with aplomb, occasionally shouting out words of affirmation for the gifts. They are quick studies. Team Bruschetta. April begins to open a present from her sisters that was actually meant to be opened in private. It's an itty-bitty wedding thong! The sisters start teasing her about being a big ol' nerdy virgin, and April strikes back. She's an ugly duckling no more, and she doesn't need to continue to take shit from her sisters. She officially dumps them as her bridesmaids, and declares herself not a virgin. She then asks Arizona, Meredith and Cristina to stand in their stead. They are surprised, but agree to do it.
Matthew comes to pick up the ladies, and runs into Jackson. Turns out, Jackson lied to April and Matthew really did do a number on the cab victim's neck. He was just trying to spare her feelings. Matthew and Jackson have a come to Jesus moment, and declare that neither of them take issue with the other. I kind of expected a sexy chest bump, but whatever. When Matthew finds out that Jackson isn't coming to the wedding, he encourages him to change his mind.
Richard finds Bailey still trying to finish her sutures. He reminds her of the time she called him a drunk, and when she apologizes, he tells her she is right. He will always be an alcoholic, and when he's stressed and feeling lonely (like he was in his house that afternoon) he still wants a drink. It's how you manage your disease that matters, not that you have it. He encourages her to accept help, and she slowly takes her first pill.
At Chez Calzona, the fighting continues and it comes straight from the lesbian playbook. I'm pretty sure that, "It's not what you said, it's how you said it" will be engraved on my tombstone. Anyway, Callie looks at Arizona, and decides to try another tactic. She grabs Arizona's face and pulls her in for a passionate kiss. They both look back at each other, a little punch drunk from the whole thing. Arizona agrees, less talking, more kissing. So they do. And it is glorious. Reconnection can happen in many ways. Talking isn't working, so Calzona will try a different route. One with sparks and rekindled passion. Once they are full of each other and endorphins, maybe they won't have such a difficult time saying nice things to one another.
Cristina stand over baby Nathan's bed, smiling at his success and her own. Meredith and Stephanie stand over their sheep, accepting and trying to learn from their failure. Alex, watches his father dream and act out the nightmares from their past. The script is so familiar, that Alex knows it by heart.
Yes!! Go work out your problems in the bedroom, or on a couch, or in the shower, or on the floor, or a counter.. #greysgays #Calzona

CAPS Press Release: Suffolk County Legislature Passes "Puppy Mill Bill"
Suffolk County Legislature approved an amendment that will require more disclosure from pet stores and prohibit the sale of animals from proven puppy mills.
Hauppauge, N.Y., June 3, 2014 – Suffolk County became the first in New York State to take advantage of the recently signed state law authorizing municipalities to adopt stricter local regulations for pet dealers. Deputy Presiding Officer Jay Schneiderman and Legislator William Spencer, M.D. spearheaded the changes to local law and drafted the bill with the assistance of various animal advocacy groups, including Companion Animal Protection Society (CAPS), and local store owners. The Government Operations, Personnel, Housing & Consumer Protection Committee had already unanimously approved the bill on May 28 and enjoyed widespread support from the community. The most important provision in Introductory Resolution 1047-14 prohibits pet shops from purchasing animals from questionable breeders with violations on their most recent USDA report.

On April 30, 2014, CAPS held a cocktail party at the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center to celebrate the launch of our "Models Against Pet Shops and Puppy Mills" ad campaign in all of the MBTA commuter trains and at 20 stations in Boston. Even though I had to share the spotlight with ALL of my bratty brothers (Spencer, Wylie, and Oliver), that didn't stop me from being CAPS' fabulous spokesmodel. I had so much fun!

While no one person or organization is perfect, there are some that really know how to succeed. You can find rescue organizations anywhere and everywhere these days.

Almost Home Foundation is a pet rescue in the Chicagoland area that has made a world of difference in the lives of many dogs and cats, and their adoptive families. You can hear founding members uttering "9 years, over 9,000 dogs and cats rescued" as they now celebrate their ninth anniversary.

A federal judge rules Proposition 8 unconstitutional.
The state's ban on same-sex marriage discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation, ruled Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker of San Francisco Wednesday. He overturned the voter-approved ban known as Proposition 8. An appeal is expected.
Will the decision have any effect elsewhere?

It's too bad people in every state affected by such laws are going to have to spend the money to initiate their own lawsuits on the matter. It seems like a waste when they should just be able to apply this decision to all states now.
Our need to learn should always outweigh our need to be right
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

All that outside LDS money poured into California, and now this. It's almost like California cannot be run like Utah.
"Wesley told the early Methodists to gain all they could and save all they could so that they could give all they could. It means that I consider my money to belong to God and I see myself as one of the hungry people who needs to get fed with God's money. If I really have put all my trust in Jesus Christ as savior and Lord, then nothing I have is really my own anymore."

Well, not really. If the ninth circuit upholds the lower court, bans on gay marriage will be ruled unconstitutional everywhere, until the SCt makes a ruling.

If anyone is interested, here is a link to the decision.
Hopefully, this decision will influence other courts on this subject. Maine had a gay marriage law overturned by a popular vote, so if there is any justice in the world that ban will be overturned on the same grounds.

When Proposition 8 passed there was racial tension around the issue of gay rights. Will today's ruling reignite the discussion? Were bridges built or ties irreparably damaged between blacks and activists within the LGBT community since the same-sex marriage ban passed?

Small businesses are struggling to access credit
In this interview on Fox Business, MultiFunding CEO Ami Kassar explains the struggles small businesses face in accessing needed loans. His firm is among many supporters of the Credit Union Small Business Jobs Bill, which would extend new credit to small companies through credit unions. See our top story, below.
Banks trying to drown out CU voices on business lending bill
Credit union employees, directors and members should take the coming August Congressional recess as an opportunity to step up their grassroots effort to pass S. 2231/H.R. 1416, federal legislation that will help small businesses and create jobs. Wisconsin's two U.S. Senators, Herb Kohl and Ron Johnson, are key supporters needed to pass the legislation. Credit unions are urged to visit them between August 6 and September 7 and continue other contacts that can diminish the impact of banks' own deluge of contacts opposing the bill. FULL STORY
Provide initial input by Aug. 24 on mortgage disclosure revisions
Wisconsin credit unions have an opportunity to shape how mortgage-related disclosures are being reshaped—and the new costs and compliance burdens they are likely to impose—as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) continues its work implementing the Dodd-Frank financial reforms aimed at protecting consumers. The first comment call asks credit unions to weigh in on any burdens—such as in costs or training—that the revised disclosures are likely to pose as well as the timing needed to comply with the changes.

NCUA reallocating exam resources to larger CUs
NCUA currently spends 45% of examination hours on credit unions with less than $50 million in assets, yet this group holds only 7% of overall industry assets. Meanwhile, credit unions with more than $1 billion in assets hold 47% of industry assets and receive only 10% of examination hours. To address this imbalance, NCUA will shift attention to where more of the industry's risk is held. The reallocation of examiner resources from smaller credit unions to the largest ones means examiners will spend less time in well-performing small credit unions. FULL STORY
The NCUA: more you may not have known

Dec 27, 2011It was an ok game. It looked good, Had good sound effects/sound track as well. The controls suffered a bit and it was hard to aim spells and perform them. Yet the biggest problem of this game was that it lacked content. Yes you could join clubs but most of the time they were over as soon as you started them.

All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
Origins has given us a lot to think about, namely that there are indeed several "Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and ID", as the title states. Genuine believers have thought deeply and carefully about the various kinds of evidence and have come to differing conclusions.
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Conflicts, collisions, and comets are the theme in this week's Saturday Science Links.
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.

From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.

News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.

FORT WAYNE – In the 1940s and 1950s, a young actor and World War II veteran from Chicago made his bread with appearances on Broadway as well as a variety of live television and radio shows.
And like many of his friends during the era, he harbored dreams of California, movies and Hollywood.
But Robert E. Behr's life took a different turn as soon as he and his wife began having kids. Thoughts of the glitz and glamour of a star's life quickly faded, and the family moved to the Midwest.
It was here that Behr truly found his life's calling, becoming a director at theaters in Ohio, Iowa and finally, Fort Wayne, where he became known as someone who gave local actors opportunities to perform that they never would have had otherwise.
Behr, 89, died Monday at the Kingston Nursing Center of a brief illness.
He was very generous and a great mentor, said Larry Wardlaw, a senior vice president at Asher Agency who has been entrenched in the local theater community for years. He opened a whole new avenue of opportunities for others.
A graduate of the Goodman School of Drama in Chicago, Behr saw action with the U.S. Army's 3rd Division in France and Germany during World War II.
In March 1945, he was wounded in battle, lost a leg and then later was awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
In New York City he pursued his acting career until he and his wife had their second child, he told The News-Sentinel in 1995. The importance he placed on his family outweighed his pursuit of a star career, he told the newspaper.
I ended up not going to Hollywood with my friends, he said.
He instead had stints as a director at various theaters in Springfield, Ohio, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, before landing the director's gig for the Civic Theatre in 1962.
Later, he founded the Theatre Workshop for adults and children as a recreation supervisor for the city's Parks and Recreation Department.
As head of that workshop, he gave a very young, very green IPFW theater student who would go on to perform at the Civic his first shot at directing a musical called Kiss Me Kate.
He took a chance on me, Wardlaw now says, adding that that's what Behr did – he gave chances to those who needed them.
When budget cuts ended the Theater Workshop, Behr founded the Arena Dinner Theatre, which still exists today. He directed, performed and, as always, gave people the chance to practice their craft.
He really opened a whole new avenue of opportunities for others. I think he gave a lot of people in the community who maybe couldn't act at the Civic or didn't think they could act at the civic opportunities, Wardlaw said.
And unlike some directors at the time, Behr was not a tyrant, according to Wardlaw. Instead, Behr was a gentleman and kind while getting his points across.
He was also color blind, Wardlaw said, often not worrying about an actor's ethnicity when assigning a part – even if the part traditionally called for a white or black or other ethnic character – but instead the actor's ability onstage.
When he got out of the director's chair and took the stage himself, Behr never lost his acting chops.
He truly captured the emotion of the scene, Wardlaw said.
Behr also became managing director of the Foellinger Theatre as well as recreation supervisor working with senior citizens once the Theatre Workshop shut down.
He and his wife were active in the Democratic Party of Allen County and were delegates at the 1992 Democratic Convention.
Behr's wife, Jerry, passed away previously, and he is survived by three sons, two granddaughters, two brothers and many nieces and nephews.
Mass of Christian Burial is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Monday at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church with calling one hour prior.

High Street vs. Designer: Topshop does Miu Miu
Miu Miu have made some of the most tear-inducingly beautiful footwear this season, and for those not yet in the designer gold-card-club, those tears have until now been pretty bitter! But like a knight in shining armour, Topshop has come up trumps with this clever little high street homage that ticks all the right boxes without being an out-and-out rip-off (note the additional bow and lack of a peep toe there!) .
The lovely low-heeled gem shoes from Miu Miu's current collection are a favourite style of ours and while £450 is a save-uppable amount for those determined to wear the real deal, Topshop's £50 sounds eminently more attractive. The shoes have the all-important gemstones in the heel, allowing you to get this fabulous look for significantly less.
