Rockies Send Helton Out With a Win
Jeff Francis came out of the bullpen to win his first start in more than three months, Michael Cuddyer won his first batting title, and Todd Helton singled in the final game of his career to help the Colorado Rockies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 Sunday.
The NL West champion Dodgers, who lost four of their last five games to finish 92-70, will open the NL division seriess at Atlanta on Thursday.
Colorado (74-88) its their first winning record against the Dodgers since 2007, going 10-9.
Cuddyer went 1 for 5 with three strikeouts and finished the season with a .331 batting average to win the batting title by 10 points over Atlanta's Chris Johnson, who was held out Sunday to rest his right shoulder.

Man charged in 'Lifeguard' robberies, North Shore hold-ups
-- Sun-Times Media Wire and Pioneer Press June 4, 2012 8:02AM
Austin Pierce / Photo provided by Chicago police.
Updated: June 4, 2012 11:13AM
A 25-year-old Chicago man has been charged in the May 17 armed hold-up of a Northfield candy store and another armed robbery the following day at a boutique in Winnetka.
Northfield and Winnetka police have charged Austin R. Pierce, of the 2800 block of North Oakley Avenue, in the hold-ups at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, 300 S. Happ Road, Northfield, and Creme de la Creme, located on the 900 block of Green Bay Road in Winnetka's Hubbard Woods shopping district.
The daytime robberies were among a series of store holdups that local authorities believe were committed by the same offender between May 16 and May 18. The bandit was dubbed the "Lifeguard" robber because he wore a red-hooded sweatshirt with "Lifeguard" printed in white letters.
Pierce faces one count of armed robbery, a Class X felony, in the Northfield case. According to Northfield police, a man walked into the candy store shortly after 10:30 a.m. May 18 and wielded a knife as he demanded money. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash. Northfield police alerted nearby schools to the crime and noted the suspect was at large.
He also has been charged with two counts of armed robbery in the May 18 hold-up at Creme de la Creme, a boutique carrying clothing, food gifts and other items. About $225 was taken by an offender who first appeared to be "casing" the business.
Pierce is due for a bond hearing at 9 a.m. Friday in the 2nd District Courthouse, 5600 Old Orchard Rd., Skokie.
Police say the charges stemmed from a muti-jurisdictional effort by authorities in Chicago and the suburbs where crimes fitting the same pattern were committed.
Police believe the same offender was responsible for a hold-up May 17 at Claire's, a girl's accessory store in The Glen, and a May 16 robbery at the Yellow Bird stationery store at 1515 Sheridan Road in Wilmette. About $200 was taken during from Yellow Bird, which is located in the Plaza del Lago shopping center.
Pierce has also been charged with three counts of armed robbery with a dangerous weapon for allegedly robbing several Lincoln Park businesses while armed with a knife and syringe.

Green Flag relaunches with 'no matter what' service pledge
Green Flag, the Direct Line Group-owned breakdown company, is re-launching with a new marketing strategy to emphasise its commitment to "fast, reliable and expert" customer service.
Green Flag: new pledge
The brand is rolling out a TV, print and digital campaign, by CHI & Partners, to dramatise the personal impact a breakdown can have on consumers' lives.
In the main 40-second TV ad, an ordinary breakdown scenario is covered in the style of an international news story with helicopter crews, reporting a man shown struggling to get home to read his son a bedtime story.
It highlights the insurer's commitment reach customers within one hour or give them half-price cover the following year. The campaign, featuring the new strapline "Green Flag, No Matter What", breaks on 7 January and will run throughout the year.
James Cooper, head of marketing at Green Flag, said: "This is a fresh, contemporary and dynamic representation of Green Flag's commitment to deliver service excellence in the breakdown market."
"We have listened to consumer feedback a lot this year, and understand that what really matters is keeping people's lives on track and keeping them safe, no matter what."
The campaign marks Green Flag's first change of marketing approach since September 2010, in which it introduced an animated ant character voiced by comedian Harry Hill, to represent Green Flag's network of breakdown technicians.
Earlier this week, Green Flag signed a six-figure deal to become the first sponsor of Absolute Radio's traffic and travel bulletins.Follow @alex_brownsell

Best Old Thing That Hasn't Changed and Never Should
Published: July 31, 2013
Lee & Rick's Oyster Bar
5621 Old Winter Garden Road
Things change. Time rolls on. And there are many vestiges of Florida's past (hell, and present) we could do without. But there's one thing, as old and rundown as it is, that we hope never changes: Lee & Rick's, the absolute best oyster bar in town, and certainly the best throwback to a simpler era. It began in 1950 as a nine-stool BYOB that only served oysters, and while the restaurant and menu have expanded over the last six decades, you should stick to what they do best. Get a cold beer and a bucket or two of raw oysters and go to town. You won't be disappointed.

OMAHA, Neb. - The Omaha women's basketball team opened the 2012-13 season with a 56-37 exhibition win over Nebraska-Kearney on Wednesday night at the Sapp Fieldhouse.
Paige Frauendorfer led the Mavs with a double-double of 15 points and 16 rebounds. Junior college transfer Ericka House chipped in 11 points, and Oklahoma State transfer Carolyn Blair-Mobley added seven points and 13 rebounds in the victory.
The Mavs fought through a cold-shooting first half to stake a 28-16 lead at halftime. Omaha couldn't connect early on, missing a handful of shots close to the rim. UNO finished the first half shooting 10-of-28 (35.7 percent) from the floor, but hit 3-of-6 (50 percent) from long distance.
Fortunately, the Mavs' team defense was clicking, holding the Lopers to just 7-of-28 (25.0 percent) from the field in the first half. Seven different Mavs scored in the opening session.
UNO maintained a comfortable lead in the second half, never letting UNK get closer than nine points at 40-31 with 13:41 to play. But after a 9-0 run, the Mavs built the lead to 18 at 49-31 with 7:46 remaining. UNK ended its 7:22 scoring drought with a 3-pointer by Sarah Hix at 6:19 to cut the lead to 49-34. But the Mavs rebuild the lead to as large as 19 points, 56-37, with 35 seconds left.
Eleven of Frauendorfer's 16 boards came on the defensive end, as the Mavs posted a 47-35 rebounding advantage overall. UNO finished the game shooting 32.8 percent on 19-of-58, but held the Lopers to 24.1 percent on 14-of-58. House drained three 3-pointers to go toward her 11 points. Jamie Nash contributed eight points, nine assists and four steals. Taijhe Kelly also had eight points to go with three blocked shots.
Although the Mavs struggled from the field, they were good from the free-throw line, where they drained 14-of-16. Ivy Jones led UNK with 14 points.
The Mavericks begin the regular season on Monday, Nov. 12 against North Carolina A&T at 7 p.m. at the Sapp Fieldhouse.

Wow! It is beautiful! Well done! Now all he has to do is put a GM LS motor in it! Just kidding!
Dudes! If you stopped to consider the profound impact the small block Chevy had on the world - there would be no votes for anything else. Unless you were brainwashed toward another marque. Yes the LS family is the absolute winner by means of brilliant cam-in-block engineering. It is an outstanding testament to new American engineering refinement. Face it - the bottom end is crazy stiff and re-enforced - and dry sump for a street car! Hells hea! The LS hasn't yet had the impact to the car hobby/motorsprts its 265-400 small block has. Sorry.
The Brooklands special - hands down!
While the other cars took talent or had design excellence - the roadster was built by a small group of craftsmen with unusual skill. Its just on a different level.
Great article thank you very much. Keep the articles coming. Love videos and pictures.
I had to choose an attainable car. The CRX Si. The impact that car (and the Miata) had on the US grassroots motorsports arena is huge. Sure the F40 and Countach is all about childhood dreams but cars like the CRX, civic, and Golf were already in the driveway ready to be handed down to new young drivers. I guess I'm just stuck in reality and unobtainable cars aren't in my reality.
Thanks for all the work you do bringing us the outstanding stories and features you'all do for SH. You do know you are feeding addictions, right?
I never tire of looking at 911 Porsches. They are timeless. When done in RWB style they are so much more unique that other Porsche tuners - it just stands out. Yea, the black /wingless is just bitchin'.
I love this car. Great build! That said - I agree with what has been said prior. Aerodynamically the car has too many things on it that will cause more drag than down force. Please study work done by land speed racers. They have gone that speed in cars more slippery with less power. Better tires tucked into the body would have been more aero-efficient as would a flatter rear spoiler instead of a wing. Like an NHRA ProStock car. Don't worry about the brakes. There is so much aero drag that once the throttle is lifted - it won't even go two miles until it's slow enough to use the brakes it has. But Man, I love this car!
Outstanding! Thank you for this article. Those Galaxies we're huge compred to the Anglias and even the Jag. Those turns looked far more challenging than some of the constant radius turns at new tracks.

A little about me...
I am somewhat of a laid back person. I have taken a lot of time to set my home up with things I enjoy doing so I really don't have to go out a lot. I enjoy music and as a matter of fact, I am working on a music studio in my home. I love plants, animals, and more of the creative side of life. I am spiritual but not religious. Currently and for some time, I live alone. I still work and am currently an Asst. Food and Beverage Director at a major Nashville, TN hotel. I have been in the hospitality industry for most of my career and have managed hotels, motels, restaurants and night clubs. I am not rich, but I am not poor. However, at this point money is not the major motivator in my life. I prefer happiness, piece of mind, etc.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for (here we go, probably the most over-used analogy) a soul mate. I am looking for honesty, intelligence, a gentle but free spirited lady who has an inkling of why we are here and where we are going. I like the way the Moody Blues put it, "Thinking is the best way to travel". I am a cerebral person (at times) and seek the same. I would obviously seek one who shares common interests, because I would like to be at my best and happiest when I am with her.
I'd just like to add...
I would add that I do enjoy going out, just not alone...outgrew that phase. I am not an outdoorsman, but like the outdoors. I like camping, boating, swimming, beaches, travel, a walk in the woods, etc., etc., etc.
I love movies, kids are okay, just don't have any. I really enjoy sharing and communication. Sound interesting? Let's communicate...I think there's a lot going on here that is seeking THE POINT and if we get started you might just be surprised. Oh yes, and like many before me, people say I don't look as old as I am, either. Still have a full head of (not gray) hair!

Customer Reviews
NiceReview by Angelicaon 8/23/12Dripping is the best way to use this liquid. It stains my clearomizers. I clean my drip atomizers with gin to get them squeaky clean. This liquid is great! Very smooth!
This is my "UNWIND" flava....Review by Kuuipopualanion 8/19/12Thanks for letting me sample at the Ala Moana Kiosk. As soon as I hit this I was "SOLD", I just imagined myself on the computer at night unwinding and easing my mind to shut down. This flava is awesome. I found it to be better by itself without the menthol and just with the light nicotine that I need. Awesome...
Sweet!Review by Dustinon 7/11/12The flavor is good, but VERY sweet. Like other dark liquids I have tried do NOT use this in a tank setup it will clog in about a week, but it works good in the regular atomizer. You will have to clean the atomizer every couple of weeks in a hot water soak though if you want longevity out of it. Awsome flavor, smooth throat hit, but overly sweet for regular use for me.
Grew on meReview by Stuarton 7/11/12I was a little put off by the flavor. Then when I changer to another liquid I missed the flavor of the Choconilla. Now it is my favorite juice! I am trying another juice but I will always keep it in stock.

A Love Grown National Holiday!
On Saturday we officially celebrated the NATIONAL LAUNCH of Love Grown Foods: Oat Clusters & Love! The evening was full of great company, good food, and of course–LOADS OF LOVE! We served some delicious treats, including our favorite 34 Degrees crackers with a variety of cheeses, grilled veggies, sushi, and all of our desserts were made with LOVE GROWN FOODS! You also couldn't miss the GRANOLA BAR where we provided shots of LOVE either 'on the rocks' (dry) or 'stirred' (with yogurt).
We built a massive tower of LOVE…and pretty much had LOVE everywhere!
We simply cannot say it enough, but THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF OUR AMAZING FANS, FAMILIES, SUPPLIERS, RETAILERS, AND EMPLOYEES!

"The coaches see me as more of a driving player now because they've seen me over a period of time and recognised I've got different elements to my game," he revealed.
"They've put me in front of the holding midfielder at times and further up the pitch so I can link play with the No10 or the striker. It's something I'm adjusting to now."

Every year, a few teams do and say things that make us scratch our heads and wonder who exactly makes decisions for those organizations. This year is no different, and as usual, we have a great list of dysfunctional teams trying to win games in the NFL. New York Giants The Giants are a laughable team. Basically, a once great team has aged into oblivion, and now the Giants appear to be a shadow of their former selves. This week, safety Antrel Rolle gave us our best nugget of denial by a Giants player, saying via NFL.com, "I believe we can go 12-0 from this point on. And I truly believe that and I'm not (just) saying that. And people may look at me like I'm crazy, but you know, I couldn't really give a damn at this point." Jacksonville Jaguars At 0-4, it's obvious the Jaguars are a bad football team, but upon inspecting their offensive production, it becomes obvious just how terrible this team is. The Jaguars have scored just 31 points in four games, and they've given up 129 points in that same span. The kicker is the Jaguars' attitude. In last weekend's game against the Colts, the Jaguars were described as the most positive 0-3 team the broadcaster had ever seen. From the sound of it, the Jags are lacking any sense of urgency, and that doesn't bode well for this team. Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Giants and the Jaguars are terrible teams that appear to be in denial of their own fate. The Buccaneers, however, are this year's circus, taking the place of the New York Jets on this list. The Buccaneers' dysfunction stems from their quarterback drama, which in turn is centered around Josh Freeman. Most recently, it was "leaked" that the Bucs' former starting quarterback is in stage one of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. That "leak" is rumored to have come from head coach Greg Schiano, making the Bucs the pettiest team in the NFL, and earning them the title of "Most Dysfunctional NFL Team of 2013." [follow]

The black strat that Jimi purchased in October 1968 must have been an exceptional instrument, because Jimi kept it with for for the rest of his career. It has serial number 222625, and was kept for 30 years by Jimi's late girlfriend Monika Danneman. She took the last photographs of Jimi in the garden of her London flat the day before he died, and Jimi is actually holding the black strat on the pictures.
It is a standard black 1968 Stratocaster with a rare maple fingerboard. It lacks the "skunk stripe" on the back, due to the fact that the metal rod in the neck is put in from the front, and the fingerboard is glued on afterwards. Normaly the way Fender makes a maple fingerboard is to make neck nad fingerboard in one piece, and to make a slot in the back of the neck to put the rod in, and to fill the groove with a darker wood. It is of course a so called CBS strat, witch refers to the overtaking of Fender by CBS in 1965, and the instruments made in the 20 year CBS-period 1965-1985.
The guitar was played at the Roayal Albert Hall concert of February 1969, Atlanta Festival, the Band of Gypsys concerts, and the Isle of Wight festival. It is now owned by German guitarist Uli Jon Roth of the Scorpions, who had a 20 year relationship with Monika Danneman ending with her death in 1996.

Spotlight on TASTES
Traverse City Record Eagle writer Marta Helper Drahos had sampled raclette dinners in France and Germany, so when she "learned that a local tasting room/bistro offers European-style raclette right here in Traverse City, I thought it would be a fun way to catch up with foodie friends we hadn't seen in a while."
You can read about her recent experience at TASTES. To experience the dinner yourself, just gather a group of 2 to 18 friends, call 231.944.1349, and book your evening. TASTES is closed on Monday and serves their Matterhorn Grill dinners Wednesday-Saturday.
Raclette Scores a "Tasty"
The October issue of Cooking Light features its first-ever Taste Test Awards – "The Tasties." The editors tested 200 food products and came up with the best-tasting winners in 32 categories. Twenty-six of the categories feature grocery store products while six showcase artisanal standouts. Our Leelanau Cheese Comapny's Raclette topped the Artisinal Cheese list.
Cooking Light? Full-fat cow's milk cheese? They note: "Not all products are low fat. Some higher fat items are on the list because of their superior quality and taste." Everything in moderation…and a glass of wine.
MI Cheese Makers Unite
Under a grant from the US Department of Agriculture Rural Cooperative Development, eleven Michigan cheese makers have formed the Michigan Cheese Makers Cooperative to help market their artisan cheeses in Michigan. Leelanau Cheese Co. is one of the founding members. Owner Anne Hoyt says,
It's hard to do things yourself; there's more power as a team. You want to know how you can help each other. We can share new ideas, new cheeses and recipes. We've never had anyone to share these with before. It's very exciting.
Eat and enjoy Michigan cheese!
Pure Michigan is previewing their 2010 ad campaign this week. Part of Fresh was filmed at Black Star Farms. Can you spot us?
If you're having trouble finding us, look below for a peek at just how much goes into making a 30 second ad.
Make it a Weekend
If this sounds like a good idea for your business group, it would be.
Alison Beers, owner of Events North, a full-service event management agency, thinks so too. Her weekend plan "to woo eight high powered business owners to relocate their families and businesses to Traverse City" is highlighted in the March issue of Traverse City Business News, and includes their staying at the Inn at Black Star Farms, as well as an on-site Raclette Dinner featuring Leelanau Cheese Company's cheese and all the fixings.
The schedule is jam packed with "up north" experiences. After all that, how could they not want to relocate their businesses here?
Culinary Tourism on the Horizon
"A new state-wide initiative is underway to increase the amount of Michigan-made products offered at restaurants through the state. The Michigan Culinary Tourism Alliance will bring the state's restaurant, food production and tourism interests together to promote the sale of locally produced goods ranging from wines and hand-crafted beers to specialty fruits and vegetables." Read more of this story by Record Eagle staff writers Art Bukowski and Bill O'Brien.
In a second article on the subject in the Detroit Free Press, Restaurant Critic Sylvia Rector quotes Linda Jones, Dirrector of the Michigan Grape and Wine Industry Council:
…the idea is "to bring people together … to promote more economic activity." For example, restaurants will be encouraged to offer more Michigan wines; those that feature at least four labels will be listed and promoted on the wine council's Web site and included in Michigan Culinary Tourism Alliance activities, she said.
To read her entire article, click here.
This will be a boon for all of Michigan agriculture, including wineries, chefs and restaurateurs, and Michigan tourism.
We say, "it's about time!"
Tasting Leelanau: Afterword
The Gang of Pour stayed at the Inn at Black Star Farms and visited Anne and John at Leelanau Cheese Co. Click here to read their nice comments in the Afterword to their Tasting Leelanau blog.
Foodie Destination
The Traverse City area is becoming one of the Midwest's best food towns as reported in a recent issue of Midwest Living. Our local wineries and terrific restaurants are making this the place to eat and drink delicious local products.
Black Star Farms in Suttons Bay will soon be a dinner destination, too. Hearth & Vine will be opening to the public on January 14th serving dinner from 5-9, Wednesday through Sunday evenings. We hope you'll bring your friends, and come and taste our wood-fired fare in this intimate new setting.
Don't forget that TASTES of Black Star Farms is serving up Matterhorn Grill Dinners for groups of 2 – 6 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons in Traverse City. You'll grill your dinner on the table-top Matterhorn Grill while Leelanau Cheese Co.'s Raclette cheese is slowly melting below. You'll then pour the melted cheese over your grilled food for a sensational European-style meal. Wine selections are included with the meal, and your cost is only $50 for two. Please call 231.944.1349 for reservations. It's the new fondue!
Review in Country Living Magazine
Another great review of Northern Michigan that also includes very nice comments about Black Star Farms.
"Black Star Farms on the Leelanau Peninsula celebrates northern Michigan's agricultural bounty. In addition to its winery and tasting room, this extraordinary working farm includes a creamery creating European-style cheeses, a market featuring regional produce and a cafe serving oven-fresh pizza and pastries."

Let's start here: Incognito anoints teammates with nicknames, like Jonathan "Big Weirdo" Martin and Jeff "Dilbert" Adams. He led the "theft" of Josh Samuda's car, then tweeted for everyone to help police, "be on the lookout for a ratchet white Impala on some weak 24" rims."

|Business-to-business electronic marketplaces: membership and use drivers
|Koch, Hope Arlene
|Business -to -business (B2B ) electronic marketplaces (e -marketplaces ) are one of the most heralded developments in recent years . These marketplaces bring together businesses buying and selling goods and services in an online buying community . E -marketplaces promise to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of procurement activities by replacing traditional manual processes with automated electronic procedures and by expanding the number of available trading partners . Despite the technology availability and the high potential benefits , very few e -marketplaces have succeeded . This three -year study identifies and investigates two major B2B e -marketplace stumbling blocks : attracting a sufficient number of members , and then influencing these members to use the e -marketplace . This investigation uses a variety of qualitative techniques to solicit information from nearly fifty executives representing four B2B e -marketplaces with contrasting membership and use levels . Within each e -marketplace , the study solicited information from high and low use organizations , buying and selling organizations , and a nonparticipant organization . The interview data was analyzed using line -by -line analysis from grounded theory . The analysis involved assimilating the unique stories of each manager into drivers that affect e -marketplace membership or use . These drivers were then compared to membership levels and /or use levels . The analysis resulted in three research models . Each research model is a data -driven representation of factors driving B2B e -marketplace membership , B2B e -marketplace use , and a particular organization's B2B e -marketplace use . Each model contains several unique drivers and offers a comprehensive picture of what is happening in e -marketplaces . These findings enhance management's understanding of e -marketplaces , their role in business , their challenges , and ways of overcoming these challenges in order to reap the benefits of e -marketplace participation . This study brings one of the first grounded theory investigations of B2B e -marketplace membership and use to the limited academic research in this area . This research offers insights to a number of theories , including transaction cost economics , institutional theory , resource dependency theory , and public goods theory .

Windows 8 getting a built-in PDF reader, Metro-style
From the handful of screenshots Paul Thurrott has shared, it's clear that Modern Reader has been built with Metro in mind. You can see the Reader back button in the top-left corner of the yellow image and the minimal page navigation bar on the right. We've posted some larger images we managed to scrape from Google's cache after the break.
Thurrott also mentions that Modern Reader is the first program spotted which is built using AppX -- a packaging technology that may allow developers to roll a single build to both Windows 8 desktops and Windows Phone 8 mobile devices.

Scabies is a contagious skin condition where the main symptom is intense itching. It is caused by tiny mites called Sarcoptes scabiei, which burrow into the skin.
Scabies can be spread through:
- skin-to-skin contact for long periods of time with someone who is infected
- sexual contact with someone who is infected
Scabies can also be passed on through sharing clothing, towels and bedding with someone who is infected. However, this is less likely than getting the infection through skin-to-skin contact.
The incubation period (the time it takes for symptoms to show after infection) for scabies is up to eight weeks.
For full details of Scabies click here to be taken to the NHS Choices website. If you are worried you may be at risk of having an STI or have any symptoms (as mentioned on the NHS Choices link to Scabies), you should visit your local sexual health or GUM clinic to have them checked out.

RGIII sings 'Hail to the Redskins'
Hear the franchise's new QB sing the opening lines of the team's fight song
George Wallace, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - By the time NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stepped to the podium and announced the Redskins' selection of Robert Griffin III Thursday night, we pretty much knew everything there is to know about the Redskins' new franchise quarterback, except for one thing: He sings, too.
When asked on a conference call with reporters how he felt, RGIII began to sing a familiar tune.
"'Hail to the Redskins, hail victory' -- that's how I felt, (it) felt that good," Griffin sang and said. "A team finally fell in love with me, they want me for who I am and I can't wait to go and play for them."
(Hear Griffin's fight song rendition to the right)
The entire Redskins organization and fan base have been waiting for this moment since March 10, the day Dan Snyder gave Mike Shanahan permission to give up a lot to the St. Louis Rams to obtain the No. 2 overall pick in the draft -- a spot Shanahan knew would be beneficial.
"That's one we thought we were going to get from the beginning because Indy, speculation was that they were going to go after Andrew right from the beginning," Shanahan said. "We liked both quarterbacks, but were hoping we were going to get Robert."
Shanahan got his guy, and now will turn over the reigns of an offense that has struggled during the coach's first two years in D.C.
"I'm looking forward to getting right to work," Griffin said.
RGIII has made it clear that he's done his research on the Redskins and has learned about his new teammates. He knows he has a lot to learn and that it will take time, but wants to make sure everyone knows one thing.
"I'm a person that tries to lead by example," he said. "I just don't talk. You want to just go do it, and I'm excited to just go do it with the Redskins.
"My dream has come true and it's up to me to figure out what I'm going to do after that."
He might be 22 years old, but the Heisman Trophy winner has been saying and doing all the right things throughout this entire process, and you would think he's a 10-year veteran. Griffin comes to a town that has been starving for a winner, and seems ready to put an entire franchise on his back and lead for the next decade.
Now that draft night has come and gone, I think it's safe to say that April 26, 2012 will go down as the most exciting day for the Redskins franchise since January 7, 2004. That was the day Dan Snyder introduced Joe Gibbs as the new head coach of the Redskins.
Welcome to Washington, Robert Griffin III. And by the way, you've got some pretty good company in town.
How many cities can look down a list of athletes and offer you the likes of Ovie, Strasburg, Zimmerman, Wall and RGIII?
Not bad is it, D.C.?

Underused Main Character Superpowers:
1 judasmartel, Sun, 3rd Feb '13 7:30:25 PM from Philippines
Accelolita's ButlerAs the title says, what do you think are the most under-used superpowers for main characters in fiction? Because although I see Elemental Powers too often, Fire, Lightning, and Holy are still the most overused elemental powers for hero characters. I don't remember any shows with Earth, Wind, Water, Ice, or Dark-elemental heroes, save perhaps Kaze no Stigma (MC is a Wind mage) and Encantandia (Philippine TV series involving four Magic Knight princesses bearing each one of the four elements: Air, Earth, Fire, and Water). The main character from Suikoden I has powers involving Instant Death, which works 100% the time except on bosses, otherwise it would be too overpowered. Recently, there is Anti-Magic, but it's considered iffy at best so it's underused IMO. The common problem with this ability is that readers tend to go "Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?" when the hero is confronted with superpowered foes who keep on using their abilities even when it's very clear that it doesn't work. At least they should have tried to hurt the Anti-Magic hero indirectly, but no, it doesn't happen until late in the story, when power users start wising up and decide to use conventional weaponry or train in martial arts. Superpowers categorized under What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway? are also example in my book, because there are only select situations where Heart Is an Awesome Power. Green Thumb is also an example for me, because really, plant powers seem to be weak at first glance, but it becomes awesome in the right hands. So, what else do you think are considered underused superpowers for main characters?

This is a title.To be honest, I kinda consider Super Strength to be a semi-example. While it is an extremely common power, it's rare that it's the primary or only power (not counting Required Secondary Powers). The only character that immediately comes to mind is Hercules (most version anyhow). Compare The Incredible Hulk whose Super Strength is interpreted used as an excuse for him to be able to do anything from punching ghosts to holding apart matter and antimatter. Even Superman has Eye Beams and super breath and Super Speed and and and and.

Thunder, Perfect MindToph is the swagness, but that's irrelevant to this topic. On a distantly related note: True magnetism manipulation is a pretty underused and underrated power. Sure, the ability to move around magnetic objects is pretty played out, but there are many other aspects to magnetism (particularly as it relates to electricity) that tend to get ignored in favour if the flashier stuff.
11 Psycho Frea X, Mon, 4th Feb '13 2:57:14 AM from Transcended Humanity
The Power of Creation in my opinion. You should also have some laws the audience would need to understand on how it works though. In my story I had materializers needing to imprint an object into their memory before they could recreate a replica of it elsewhere. It's a long process that involves focusing on said object for a long time and more complex materials are more difficult to recreate. At higher levels you should be able to materialize an amalgam of objects imprinted from your mind. I'd say this power is underused in general but more so for protagonists. I mean, just think of the versatility in battle if you can summon a sword, chained sickle, shield etc without having to bear the weight of carrying them all at the same. Well, just my two cents.

UNREAL BLACK THINGSJust about any power in Jojo's Bizarre Adventures is underused. The main character of Part 4(Diamond is Not Crash) has the ability to...restore things to their former states. Part 5's protagonist can convert non-living small objects into living things. Part 6's protagonist can make herself into a string... and part 7's protagonist(One of them) can spin his nails, yeah. Pretty sure all of these are underused.

"Real Housewives of DC" Star to Run for Governor of Virginia
Well, it's finally happened. The great reality televison/politics singularity has arrived. White House "gatecrasher" and Real Housewives of DC star Tareq Salahi is running for governor in Virginia.
According to an exclusive report by TMZ…
Salahi — whose estranged wife left him back in September to bang the guitarist from Journey — tells TMZ, he wants to formally announce his candidacy for VA Governor in the upcoming election.
Salahi says he wants to use his extensive life experience as a vineyard owner and reality TV famewhore to change how things are run in his home state.
Salahi tells us, "I am troubled to see how our current political figureheads continue to waste tax payer dollars! I'm a big believer in limited government, keeping taxes, regulation and litigation low, and if I do win, everyone is invited to crash the inauguration!"
Yeah, the federal government spends way too much money on frivolous things, like health care, education and preventing crazy people from crashing White House parties.
Salahi leaked the story to TMZ, though he probably should have chosen a more esteemed political news source, like US Weekly or People.
Despite the stigma attached to being on a trashy reality show, a guy like this just might be a natural fit for Beltway politics. All those vapid, fame-hungry narcissists would mix well with the stars of reality television.

Former Woodruff Arts Center Employee Admits to Embezzlement
- Written by The Atlanta Daily World
- Published in Atlanta
- Post 24 April 2013
- By Atlanta Daily World
- Hits: 11
Ralph Clark, the Woodruff Arts Center's former director of facilities, struck a plea deal Tuesday after admitting to federal prosecutors that he embezzled more than $1.1 million from the nonprofit organization.
From 2005 and 2012, Clark submitted around $779,000 to Lowe's Services, an apartment cleaning business that his wife owned. The company billed for services that were never provided for the arts center.
"The Woodruff Arts Center is an important part of the fabric of our community," U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said in a public statement. "This defendant embezzled over $1 million from funds intended for the benefit of our citizens."
Clark began his tenure at Woodruff in 2004 as a mechanic. Rising through the ranks, he became the center's director of facilities in 2006, allowing him to sign off on contracts worth as much as $50,000.
Woodruff is Atlanta's largest cultural organization and is home to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Alliance Theatre, High Museum of Art and Young Audiences has filed an insurance claim for the loss, but has not been settled.
"Mr. Clark chose to violate his position of trust at the Woodruff Arts Center," FBI agent Mark F. Giuliano said. "In addition, he violated federal law by attempting to profit through arrangements with various contracted vendors. The FBI will continue to provide assistance and investigative resources in such matters that negatively impact our non-profit, cultural institutions such as the Woodruff Arts Center."
Clark's sentencing will be held on August 7, where he is expected to be given a sentence of between 41 and 51 months and be required to pay a fine of $250,000.

I'd genuinely appreciate it.

Hi, I am looking to upgrade my Compact Camera. Although I have very basic needs I DO have a top budget of £100!! It needs to be idiot proof, it does not need to take super duper professional photos. The camera will be used mainly to be carried in pockets when walk the dogs, carried around the horses.
My husband has a Pentax K-X but this is just much too bulky for my own little point and click use!! My current camera is an ancient Casio Exilim 6 Mega Pixels 3x Optical Zoom, so a bit of a dinosaur really!!:o
There is such a large range available at the under £100 price range that I am getting quite confused as to what is reasonably decent and worth its money.

- Virgil Films
- Language English
- Country USA
- Rated:
- Format: Widescreen
- Directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom
- Written by Claire Dietrich, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Jenny Raskin, Jessica Congdon

Like drawing back a curtain to let bright light stream in, MISS REPRESENTATION uncovers a glaring reality we live with every day but fail to see. Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media's limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself. In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman's value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her capacity as a leader. While women have made great strides in leadership over the past few decades, the United States is still 90th in the world for women in national legislatures, women hold only 3% of clout positions in mainstream media, and 65% of women and girls have disordered eating behaviors. Stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, journalists, entertainers, activists and academics, like Condoleezza Rice, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Margaret Cho, Rosario Dawson and Gloria Steinem build momentum as MISS REPRESENTATION accumulates startling facts and statistics that will leave the audience shaken and armed with a new perspective.
An admirable work of media literacy education that may well preach to the converted at fests, MISS REPRESENTATION stands to have its greatest impact in classrooms. -- Rob Nelson, VARIETY

Nov 29, 2011The Aardman animators (best know for Wallace & Gromit) usually infuse their films with deadpan whimsy and eccentric personalities. This is an exception. The story takes place on Christmas night when Santa and his team have one last present to deliver. Leave it to the eponymous black-sheep son to come into his own and save the day. While the pacing is frantic and almost every frame is full of activity, the characters aren't especially unique and the writing isn't particularly clever. I really wanted to like it, but found it flat and lacking personality.… Expand
Nov 26, 2011This movie just entered our family's Christmas rotation. Really fun movie that has something for everyone in the family. If you're looking for a lighthearted break from the holiday stress, get lost in this hilarious tale of Arthur, a child-at-heart dreamer who wants every child to experience the magic of Christmas. Well done. One of the few movies I'll actually buy when it's released on DVD. Merry Christmas!… Expand
Nov 23, 2011The movie somehow works for adults, the constant gags involving spec ops elves and the logistics of billions of gift deliveries keeps the movie entertaining. Im ddocking 2 points because there's a Justin Bieber music video before the movie. First I've heard his music and it shook my faith in humanity, kid can't sing.
Nov 23, 2011The folks at Aardman Productions (Wallace & Gromit; Chicken Run) have done it again with this hilarious, cleverly written, dazzlingly animated Christmas charmer about Santa's two sons - muscle-bound technocrat Steve (Hugh Laurie) and mild-mannered dreamer Arthur (James McAvoy) - and how one of them (the title may give you a clue) saves Christmas for one little girl. This may be one of the most visually thrilling 3-D movies ever made, but even in good old 2-D you'll have fun with the very funny screenplay by Peter Baynham and director Sarah Smith, as well as a fabulous cast of voice actors including standout turns by Jim Broadbent as Santa, Bill Nighy as patriarch Grandsanta, Imelda Staunton as Mrs. Claus, and Ashley Jensen as the plucky elf Bryony, who proves herself useful for far more than just wrapping gifts. This one is a delight for all ages and sure to be a Yuletide favorite for years to come.… Expand
Dec 19, 2013Overall this is a really enjoyable film. The characters are likeable, the story is clever, and the film looks nice. It may not be in the style of an Aardman film but it is still enjoyable. I hope Sony Pictures Animation appreciates Aardman because they are good studio. While this is may not feel like Aardman's other work it is still enjoyable and I will take this over Sony Pictures Animation's own films such as Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs any day. If you are looking for an enjoyable holiday film, a good animated film, or just sort of any enjoyable movie then definitely check this one out.… Expand
Nov 28, 2011Being a big fan of Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run I had to see this film. I enjoyed it, although not as much as the critics. There really were no big laughs, but there are many small ones. The most impressive thing about the film are the visuals, and the 3D is top notch as well. The worse part of the film is that most, if not all of the characters have an English accent and my friends and I couldn't decipher some of the things they said. I also noticed kids getting restless in the theater, so this might be hard for younger kids to follow. Before the movie I had to suffer through a Justin Bieber video who is trying to be a cross between Justin Timberlake and Michael Jackson, but with a much worse voice.… Expand
Dec 24, 2012It's nice to see a movie that captures the Christmas spirit like this one does. It might just be a new Christmas classic. Either way it's a fantastic movie to watch during the Christmas holiday.
Nov 23, 2011Arthur Christmas does just what a really good Christmas film should - it keeps you absolutely glued to the screen and makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's expertly animated, slightly satirical, with strong morals and a great voice cast. While everyone gives their all in their vocal performances, of particular note are Hugh Laurie's efficient and coldly business-minded Steve Claus, Bill Nigh's ancient, senile and mischievous Grand Santa and Ashley Jensen's energetic and confident gift-wrapping elf Bryony. The story carries you along nicely, providing a fair amount of visual pizazz, action and humour along the way. Where Arthur Christmas really shines is in the festive message it promotes. The importance of unconditional family love is a common one in Yuletide movies, but somehow it comes across all the more effectively when the film's subjects, the Clauses are an undeniably dysfunctional, fantastic, yet strangely relatable family. Grand Santa is well past his sell-by date, but is not willing to give up the joys of life, or pass up an opportunity to show the younger generation how a job should be done. The current Santa (Jim Broadbent) is good-natured, but a little incompetent, and has never found the time to engage in any real way with his sons. Steve is desperate to do the best job possible and prove himself to be worthy of taking over the family business. Arthur, on the other hand, while inept, clumsy and generally being quite odd, is the only one in the family who seems to still understand, and truly care about the festive season, and what Father Christmas means to children all over the world. The real question is whether he's wise beyond his years or simply naive. The internal struggle within the family is essentially a battle between idealism (Arthur) and pragmatism (Grand Santa, Santa and Steve), and as a result, the film questions what modern Christmas is. Is it simply soulless commercialism, or is it something more? With these deep messages, as well as the simpler joys it provides, Arthur Christmas is certainly something special. It's just a lovely experience that will warm you to your very core, like a mince pie and a glass of mulled wine in front of the fire.… Expand
Nov 25, 2011Its a joy full ride with santa and specially with arthur who makes the movie funny and adventurous. The movie is very interesting and a very happy family movie. It will make your christmas more magical and watch if something may be left near your christmas tree. Overall a beatifull animated movie. So merry christmas to all of you and wish all a happy and prosperous New year.
Dec 30, 2013Great animation let down by a simple and predictable plot. No villain to speak of so I never felt there was any danger or real point to the story. Looked great, but insubstantial.
Jan 11, 2012good flick for kids and adults alike, as i guess most animated films are geared toward nowadays. a very technology-driven delivery of goodies to the good and even bad kiddies.
Dec 12, 2011Despite the fact that Aardman haven't done a proper computer animated feature in a while (Flushed Away, 2006) and it almost crippled the company financially when it bombed, they seem to have pulled off one of the best animations of the year. Arthur Christmas looks fantastic, its got a great voice cast, it's genuinely funny and it works as both a kids and a grown up film. The story is one of the people that work in the north pole. Its the tale of the clumsy Arthur (James McAvoy) who discovers that ,despite the well oiled nature of his families present delivering operation, a child has been missed. The rest of his family doesn't think it matters so Arthur heads out with the only two people on his side, his grandfather (Bill Nighy) and a wrapping department elf (Ashley Jensen). Because its a kids film they get into the usual highjinks but the film never loses itself with its message being one of optimism while maintaining the fast pace and quick wit with both visual and spoken gags being used to great effect. Its thoroughly enjoyable because it captures the spirit of the season while also making fun of it slightly. It gets you in the mood for the holidays and that's what its supposed to do.… Expand
Dec 3, 2011It's another Aardman film, what's not to like? sure it's not up there with Wallace & Gromit or Chicken Run, but it's better than Flushed away. The story is nice, meaningful and relatively heartwarming; which is always good for a Christmas film. Some of the jokes may fall a bit flat, but that's not really much to complain about, I haven't seen anything where some jokes don't. I recommend this film to anyone wanting a fun Christmas film.… Expand
Dec 10, 2011Arthur Christmas is different from any Christmas movie you will ever see. It makes you wonder how Santa Claus really delivers presents. A fantastic story is at the heart.
Dec 4, 2011This was a wonderful Christmas movie for the whole family. My teenage sons loved it and my wife and I loved it more. It is such a funny fast action comedy, we are already talking about getting the dvd to watch it again to see the parts we missed due to laughing too much. Highly recommended.
Jan 15, 2012If most of the animated film these days seem to emphasize on milestones about animation, set this aside. Arthur Christmas is sincere in its storytelling. It has this humble effort to simply tell a story on how important it is to make children happy and not sitting back in times someone gets left out. The voice talents are commendable especially voices for Grandsanta and Bryony. It would even deserve a "voice ensemble" nomination if such a category exist in the Annie. This movie will bring to life the child in you. movienotesbook.blogspot.com… Expand
Nov 24, 2011I was very encouraged to find this site. I wanted to thank you for this special read. I definitely savored every little bit of it.

Nov 25, 2011Not real great. Was definitely expecting more after reading the reviews. Took my 5 year old who opted to watch this over the Muppets! Was wanting a warm holiday film filled with nostalgia and familiarity. Instead it was a British film filled with unfamilir scenery, sometimes hard to understand accents (especially for my little one) all the elves had blackberries, and Santa drove a spaceship (not a spoiler b/c this is the first scene!)! Not what I think of when I think of Christmas. It also lacked substance and I was bored. I didn't even giggle once and my son didn't either. Skip this one. Wait next for next year when it comes out on cable! I did like that it was 3D.… Collapse
Jan 1, 2013Aardman have a definite appeal to their audience. It all comes down to the fact that their films are both intelligent and silly in the same time. There are scenes in this movie which revolve around wit and multiple viewings are highly recommended to try and get all the in jokes. This could be the next Christmas classic....its just so happy. It becomes a bit dull during the middle act and some jokes doesn't really work, but the ending much more than compensates to that.… Expand
Dec 7, 2011An entertaining movie suitable for families wanting to bathe in the Christmas season. The movie's animation is well done and utilizes some very imaginative elements. Although there are some logical plot holes, the kids will surely miss them. Arthur has its moments and laughs. But the thing that bothers me the most is that when you near the end, it feels as though the writers slapped on material to progress the film. This is exemplified by Arthur, who "discovers" the moral of the story, even though he had been preaching it since the start.… Expand
Dec 14, 2011Wonderful family film, lots of laughs, great characters and a nice spin on the Christmas mythology. Animation is decent; a tad too long, but provides more entertainment than the other animated films this year.
Dec 21, 2011The lone Christmas movie of the year turns out to be one of the best made. Though it may look overly silly Arthur Christmas has quite a lot of depth to it that many animated Christmas movies never come close to achieving. The movie takes us into the world of the Clause family where the role of Santa is passed down from generation to generation. When Santa fails to deliver one present to one little girl, Santa's son Arthur sets out to deliver the present with his old and rather looney grandfather, the former Santa. The 3D effect used here is amazing and it helps to immerse the viewer in magical worlds of flying animals and winter wonderlands. Its well worth the surcharge in my opinion. The voice acting is spot on as well lead by James McAvoy as Arthur. However what truly makes this film wonderful is its charm and its wit, and there is plenty of it.… Expand
Jan 1, 2012The 3D, CG-animated family comedy Arthur Christmas, an Aardman production for Sony Pictures Animation, at last reveals the incredible, never-before seen answer to every child's question: 'So how does Santa deliver all those presents in one night?' The answer: Santa's exhilarating, ultra-high-tech operation hidden beneath the North Pole. But at the heart of the film is a story with the ingredients of a Christmas classic - a family in a state of comic dysfunction and an unlikely hero, Arthur, with an urgent mission that must be completed before Christmas morning dawns.… Expand
Jan 30, 2012Now this is what i was waiting for, a new High-tech Santa Claus/Elves. This one has deep emotions and heart warming and touching feelings to it and at the same time is a story well told in a non traditional way for the good ol Christmas that doesn't feel cliched at all. Superb visuals and everything and you will have a good time.
May 22, 2012Arthur Christmas is a really good movie. It's funny, its got good music (like most films), a good and well thought out plot, good characters and great character building (it lets you know what they're like, properly). It's not as good as other aardman films, except from flushed away, it's better than that. Well done aardman, you've made another great movie!
May 13, 2013I was surprised, I actually liked it. The reasons I liked it is it gave off a real Christmas feeling, had some silly ideas of how Santa gets his job done, plus it was original. Most Christmas stories are about the same. A good movie to add to the Christmas Collection.
Sep 11, 2013Pretty much the best animated Christmas movie in recent years. It doesn't do very much that hasn't been tried before, but it does ooze with charm and Christmas spirit.
Buy this movie, watch every Christmas morning with the kids.
Mar 15, 2013This film was a real surprise. I thought this would just be another stale Christmas movie, but I thankfully thought this movie was funny and had a lot of heart.
Jul 5, 2013It's a delightful Christmas tale with magical wonder, but it's story telling is just not that powerful. with a similar plot line to many told before, its can dazzle you with visuals, and give you a few moments of heart, and only really succeeds when its the winter holidays time of year. But don't get me wrong, I still found it enjoyable, and I would recommend it to those who appreciate the bountiful beliefs of Santa Claus.… Expand
Jun 25, 2014The movie is a great family movie for Christmas. It has great animation, good voice casting, fun action and comedy, and a heart-warming storyline. They even made Justin Bieber's ":Santa Clause is Coming to Town" song sound O.K. during the end credits.
The action is swift and witty, and the 3-D effects are imaginative and not simply tacked on as with so many animated movies these days.
For the kids, the action is always lively and, for the rest of us, the dialogue has a witty and even caustic edge.

While flying along a mountain ridgeline to make a water drop on a wild fire, the helicopter lost power in one engine and collided with terrain as the pilot turned downslope toward a landing area. Ground crews watching the helicopter make its drop run observed smoke emanating from the right engine, then the helicopter made a left descending turn and impacted the downsloping mountainous terrain. A trailing pilot saw the helicopter about 150 feet above the ridgeline, then it made a sudden left descending turn. He did not see the pilot jettison either the water or the bucket. A teardown inspection and metallurgical examination of the No. 1 and No. 2 power sections was conducted. The examination of the No. 1 power section CT disc revealed that the firtree serrations adjacent to the No.s 24 and 25 blade positions were fractured above the blade retaining rivet hole, and that the No.s 27-29 firtree serrations were fractured at the blade roots. During the metallurgical examination, the failure of the CT disc was attributed to cyclic stress rupture due to extended and repeated operation of the engine at, near, or above its temperature/power limits. Dimensional measurements of the blades showed growth and deformation to the disk in the areas of the fractures. There were no material, manufacture, or design deficiencies identified during the metallurgical examination of the CT disc. The examination of the No. 2 power section revealed that the intermediate drive shaft fractured in a counterclockwise direction due to sudden stoppage of the left engine while it was at a high power level. Due to the degree of destruction and lack of dispatch records, the investigation was not able to accurately determine the operating weight of the helicopter at the time of the accident; however, for the 9,500-foot density altitude, it is believed that the helicopter's weight with the water load was at a point that resulted in marginal single engine capability at best. The accident helicopter had been modified with the installation of a water bucket and long line system. The long line and water bucket circuit breakers, and the emergency electrical release, were connected to the nonessential bus. This system was installed on a Form 337 field approval. According to the helicopter manufacturer, the electrical system is designed so that if one generator and/or engine failed both of the nonessential buses would automatically drop offline. Thus the emergency electrical release of the water bucket and long line would have been rendered inoperable in the event of a generator and/or engine failure. An override switch on the electrical panel can restore power to the nonessential buses; however, based on the event timeline reported by the witnesses, it is unlikely that the pilot could have restored power to the nonessential busses in time to prevent a collision with the ground.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Upon meeting the interfaith delegation of US religious leaders whose mission was to secure the release of three American POWs, the Yugoslav leader's face showed signs that he recognized one member of the group. Slobodan Milosevic's memory served him well. Rev. Leonid Kishkovsky, the pastor of Our Lady of Kazan Russian Orthodox Church in Sea Cliff, a member of the delegation led by Rev. Jesse Jackson and National Council of Churches General Secretary, Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell, had spoken to him before. Milosevic had met Rev. Kishkovsky at least three times during the dissolving of Yugoslavia when the priest was a member of a smaller interfaith group. Last Sunday, following a three-hour meeting that culminated an arduous journey filled with bombings, an earthquake, but never without faith and hope, the three American soldiers taken as prisoners of war and held in Yugoslavia were released to Rev. Jackson and the delegation.
On May 2, Stango's Restaurant celebrated its 80th anniversary and to add to the joy, the City of Glen Cove dedicated a corner of The Orchard neighborhood to the Stango family.

Breakfast Club is ALWAYS my number one place to go for breakfast! But sadly, it wasn't open on Boxing day, so I had to resort to Eggsquis.
I have gone to Eggsquis a few times the past few years and every time, it served decent breakfast. I think anyone who likes traditional home ambiance would love this place. As for me…I'm just a real loyal customer of Breakfast club.
Mr. Butter wasn't happy with his eggs benedict. From the sight at it, I think the eggs were too cooked?
I ordered an omelette and I was pleasantly satisfied. It wasn't something fancy or extraordinary. Just a simple omelette and that was what I was seeking for.
My mom had the waffles. It cannot be compared with Breakfast Club's waffles! But it was still good.
Nothing to complain about their service and food quality. But it's just missing something to appeal to me just like Breakfast Club does!
