116 Broad St, Charleston, SC | Directions 2940132.776576 -79.933654
Mon. - Sun. 24 Hours
Colonial times come to life at this impeccably restored historic home. – The Scene
This stately, three-story home was built in 1763 by John Rutledge, a South Carolina statesman and one of the 55 signers of the U.S. Constitution. The home is steeped in American history: President George Washington was said to have paid a visit in 1791. Many of the home's architectural features--Italian marble fireplaces, inlaid wood floors, plaster moldings--have been restored to their original beauty. Intricate, wrought-iron front porches are reminiscent of the French Quarter.
The Details
The inn's complex of three buildings (the main house and two carriage houses) offers 16 rooms and three suites, each decorated in the Colonial style with hardwood floors, crown moldings, graceful canopy beds and carved fireplaces. For those feeling trapped in a bygone era, each room comes with TV, phone, whirlpool bath and refrigerator to bring guests back into the 21st century. Other amenities include Continental breakfast, afternoon tea, concierge service and turn-down service.
a fine b+b – weve stayed at several b+b's across the country, and this was one of the better ones. rooms/suites are large and well appointed. very convenient to downtown. ballroom upstairs with tea and cocktails every afternoon. breakfasts are slightly more than continental (you can add on eggs or whatnot for a charge) and delivered to your room, the courtyard (bring bugspray) or the ballroom. helpful and knowledgable staff. the house is old (1730s) so the floors are not insulated well (we could hear our upstairs neighbors walking around). there was a phone system problem while we were there in the middle of the night - not a quiet event, but apologetically resolved the next morning. when we return, we'll stay there again.

"Three months after it's started nobody's going to give a shit. The world will move on and the business will move on and nobody will care."
Steven Soderbergh, on his upcoming retirement
"And now it's pro-torture, which is preposterous. The point was to immerse the audience in this landscape, not to pretend to debate policy. Was it difficult to shoot? Yes. Do I wish [torture] was not part of that history? Yes, but it was." -- Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal shoot down the ridiculous claims that "Zero Dark Thirty" is a "pro-torture" film.
"In L.A. you're always living and dying by what's happening with everyone's movies and shit. But most people on the planet just don't care. They're just like 'Oh, I think I saw that.

Arterton is interesting because she's clearly intelligent and ambitious, but she's just one of the most terrible actresses working today. I don't know what that director was smoking, but she's woefully inadequate in âTess of the DâUrbervillesâ and every performance I've seen her give bar one - Alice Creed - has been a struggle to get through.

Hargreaves' Gorham sells £3.3m stake - but sticks the proceeds straight back in again
by Sarah Miloudi on Dec 13, 2012 at 08:38
Hargreaves Lansdown's Ian Gorham has sold shares in the discount broker worth £3.3 million - but immediately recycled the proceeds back into the company.
Gorham, Hargreaves' chief executive, carried out the sale on Monday when he exercised an award under the broker's joint share ownership plan.
The scheme allows directors to buy the right to the growth in value of Hargreaves' shares and Gorham (pictured) took this offer up at the end of 2009 when the Bristol-based broker traded at 268.8p.
Since then, Hargreaves' shares have soared as it grew from strength to strength and raced its way into the FTSE 100, and between December 10 and December 12 Gorham sold the shares at 714.8p each, netting 447p per share as a result of the transaction.
Informing the market of his trade, Hargreaves Lansdown said Gorham had at the same time decided to buy 225,000 of the firm's shares.
He snapped up the ordinary shares for 714p each in a stake that represents 0.05% of the shares in issue.

This press release is an announcement submitted by International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk, and was not written by Diabetes Health.
Clinical and basic science researchers from around the world will convene in Hong Kong from January 28 to 30 for the First International Congress on Abdominal Obesity: "Bridging the Gap between Cardiology and Diabetology." The congress, sponsored by the International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk (ICCR) (http://www.cardiometabolic-risk.org), is the first-ever specialized forum for sharing new insights and evidence about abdominal obesity and its clinical and public health implications.
The congress will feature panels of world-renown experts in cardiology, diabetology, lipidology, endocrinology and metabolism, obesity and nutrition, who will examine and discuss novel approaches, and share scientific and clinical data to benefit healthcare professionals, clinicians and scientists in their fight against the worldwide epidemic of abdominal obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
More than 300 presented abstracts will cover insights into the global status and significance of cardiometabolic risk, the pathophysiology of abdominal obesity and its related complications, algorithms to evaluate and measure risk, and other clinical issues that will impact the way obesity is treated. Specifically, the congress will address multidisciplinary approaches to evaluating abdominal obesity as a key risk factor in the development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and to controlling abdominal obesity to help reduce and manage health-related risks.
Congress organizers hope to raise awareness of abdominal obesity as a new risk factor that, along with traditional risk factors, can be modified to reduce the risk of serious diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and stroke.
"More than two decades of research have established not only that excess visceral fat is linked to cardiometabolic diseases, but also that measuring waist circumference is a simple and accurate way to screen for visceral fat," said Prof. Jean-Pierre Despres, Ph.D., FAHA, Scientific Director of the ICCR, a multidisciplinary academic organization based at Universite Laval in Quebec City, Canada. "One of the most important and practical messages coming out of this conference is that waist circumference may be an even more significant vital sign than body weight when assessing patients' long-term risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."
Indeed, data being presented at the conference demonstrate the value of assessing waist circumference, along with total body weight and body mass index (BMI), to establish a comprehensive risk profile. Data also will show that clinically significant reductions in waist circumference can be achieved with a modest 5 to 10 percent weight loss.
Peter Libby, M.D., chief, Cardiovascular Medicine, Harvard Medical School, will discuss pathophysiological research demonstrating that excess visceral fat actually triggers the development of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Other presented data show that while regulating blood glucose levels improves many outcomes among type 2 diabetes patients, it does not necessarily reduce the risk of heart disease. For these patients, results suggest, reducing visceral fat may be just as important.
"With an aging population and burgeoning obesity rates among children, the stage is being set for an epidemic of cardiometabolic disease among future generations," said Dr. Libby. "Generating and sharing new research about abdominal obesity is a key step in elevating awareness of this dangerous condition."
Other guest lecturers will include:
Research will also address new insights in managing visceral fat, including studies involving nutrition, physical activity and other lifestyle interventions.
Evidence suggests that the worldwide epidemic of abdominal obesity cannot be handled by the current medical model, in which complications such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease are often evaluated and managed in isolation without the proper multidisciplinary resources to improve patients' nutritional and physical activity habits.
According to Dr. Despres, presented research will offer real-world applications to help promote positive lifestyle interventions. "If people become more educated about the role of visceral fat, they will understand that reducing their waist size may keep them healthier than just losing weight," he said. "For example, if an adult man with a large waist begins exercising regularly, his weight loss may be offset by increased muscle mass. So he won't necessarily lose weight, but he will reduce his waist circumference, his excess visceral fat, and, consequently, his risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes."
For information on registering for the First International Conference on Abdominal Obesity, or interviewing conference organizers, guest lecturers or researchers, please contact the ICCR at +1 (418) 656-8711 extension 3183 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
About the International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk
Based at Universite Laval, Quebec, Canada, the International Chair on Cardiometabolic Risk is made up of 25 world-renowned international scientists. Their goals are to develop awareness and knowledge around the cardiometabolic risk factors in order to improve international patient management. Each year, this group organizes a series of conferences and debates. The Chair also intends to provide physicians and patients with various educational materials.

Saturday's 10-bar crawl marked a new chapter for the Cowboy Crawl, which moved from its original Memorial Day weekend date to an isolated day, leading up to the Reno Rodeo, allowing it to grow toward its ultimate goal. Paul Klein, Director of Communications and Marketing at event management company Eventive, said future plans for the Cowboy Crawl are already in the works.
"Eventually we would like to see this event mold into what we call Spurs and Sparks," Klein said, "And have it be a day event with hay rides, a petting zoo, games and things that are family friendly with some food down there and an entire country festival of sorts. You can have your families out there with the kids to do some fun stuff during the day and lead into the entertainment and beer crawl in the evening.
"It really kicks off the rodeo. That is the long-term vision of what this could be, but it is still something we would like to have."
Though Spurs and Sparks has yet to evolve, the Cowboy Crawl has found its home on Victorian Avenue where country clad crawlers can meander from John Ascuaga's Nugget to local bars in the heart of downtown Sparks. Klein said the country/cowboy theme is a perfect fit for the region and the city.
"When the idea for downtown Sparks and Victorian Avenue, the Nugget and the adjoining bars on Victorian Avenue came up, there was a look at what really matched that area as an event brand," Klein said. "And we thought it has got to be something that is cowboy, rodeo, country music, and it just fit perfectly."
The Nugget was on board immediately when Eventive approached them about the event. The Nugget has been building up the country and cowboy themes for a few months and Public Relations Manager Lauren Garber said there is no end in sight.
"Reno is very well known for a number of different crawls that they do downtown," Garber said, "And we don't necessarily have that recognition here in the Sparks area, but that is definitely something that we are working towards. It is important to bring new events to the Sparks area and it just the fit for Victorian Avenue, having all those bars on one street, in one place and having the street closed for safety makes it the perfect fit for an event like this."
Garber said having participants finish their night of crawling with the Nugget's Country at the Cabaret brings an element of entertainment not found in other parts of the region.
"There are not a lot of exclusively country bars in Sparks, or even in Reno for that matter," Garber said, "And this is a place for people who like to dance to country music, who like line dancing or who want to learn new moves. This is a place to come and do that dancing and have fun.
"We use our Cabaret for a number of different events and country nights twice a week and we are going to start bringing in live bands on occasion. It has been very successful so far. There is a very loyal following to country line dancers, which we appreciate and we are happy to have the here at the Nugget. And we do plan to expand."
Klein said Victorian Avenue is a great venue for a crawl because of enhanced safety features and proximity of participating bars. He added that the Cowboy Crawl's theme sets it apart in many ways from the frequent crawls in downtown Reno.
"One thing that I have always thought is because of the brand, the feeling and the culture of the Truckee Meadows, anything that is related to cowboy country really fits our mold," Klein said. "I think it is easier to participate because I think everybody has a cowboy hat or cowboy boots, a flannel shirt or a pair of Wranglers. So it is really easy. The other ones you really have to go out of your way to dress up for and this one is much easier. You can show up in what you wear every day and just fit right in with the theme because of our roots as an area.
"I also like the fact that it is in Sparks and this one is really something Sparks can hone. It is a nice little area and Victorian Square lends itself nicely with this type of event because everything is within walking distance, and it is nice and open so you won't have to worry about the traffic."
Participating bars in downtown Sparks now look forward to the Cowboy Crawl each year, according to Klein, and he said their participation only helps the event grow.
"They were excited actually and after last year's event they actually approached us and said 'Can we do one of these every month?'" Klein said. "The great thing about this is that it is once a year and there is some anticipation and it also gives us a chance to plan and make it better each year."

Comments about Prepac Monterey Cherry Twin Bookcase Headboard:
This is good enough for it's intended use. Needed a headboard for my daughter for her college apartment. Liked the idea of the bookcase for more storage. There was an issue with the front cross piece falling out of the top piece as the holes for the dowel pin were drilled to big. Company is sending a new top. Not a big deal, but inconvenient as we have already moved our daughter to college. Big waste of their money though .. replace the whole top for a couple of holes that are drilled a smidge too big. Oh, well!

Comments about Prepac Monterey Cherry Twin Bookcase Headboard:
Nice unit for the money. Many pieces to assemble, but very clear instructions. The units are a little top-heavy if not attached to a bed frame or wall. We intend to fasten them to the wall so we can move our bed frames easily to change bedding. Well-made, no damaged pieces. We are using two of them in our college-aged sons' room, and plan to use the room for a guest room.

HOW many lives does a cat have?
A white cat named Spike living in England proved that the furry animal may have more than one.
He survived being shot through the head with a crossbow bolt after four hours of surgery, Sky News reported.
The 30cm arrow lodged in his skull.
The owners of Spike, who lives in Merseyside, branded the attack "horrific".
Miss Sandra Grogan told Sky News she would always remember the sight of her stricken pet.
She said: "It was horrific to see this metal bolt through my cat's head.
"It's an image I'll never forget. All kinds of emotions went through me.
"No-one can understand how he's not had major damage or how he's even survived this traumatic incident."
A 39-year-old man from the area is being held by police after his arrest in connection with the incident and a "bolt-firing mechanism" has been seized.
Sandra's husband, Mike, called for more restrictions on the sale of weapons such as crossbows.
"It's absolutely sickening and shocking that you can buy these things on the internet quite easily," he said.
"It could very easily have missed Spike and... killed a child. That's the worse thing about it."
Vet Sarah Roberts from Alder Veterinary Hospital, who operated on Spike, was shocked that he survived the incident.
She told Sky News: "Although there is still some way to go, he is very lucky to have made it this far.
"It takes a very powerful weapon to have penetrated the bone as much as it has.
"Unfortunately, this is part of a bigger picture, as we see animals that have been attacked with weapons like airguns all-too often."

Home of the helmet hairdo and congressional comb-over, Washington, D.C., is a hotbed of fashion faux pas. If anyone should know, it's "Crimes of Fashion" columnist Lacey Smithsonian. She dishes out advice to the scandal-scorched and clothing-clueless, doing her part to change this town—one fashion victim at a time....

Lacey's best friend, Stella, is finally getting married, and at her bachelorette party, fellow bridesmaid—and fortune-teller—Marie Largesse arrives with a stunning Russian shawl. A shawl, Marie warns, that can either bless or curse the wearer. When a party crasher who mocks the shawl is found dead the next day, the other guests fear the curse has been unleashed. But Lacey has her doubts, and she must employ all her Extra-Fashionary Perception to capture a villain who has vowed that nobody at this wedding will live happily ever after….

The Nevada Highway Patrol has not identified the motorcycle rider, who was killed at about 9:30 p.m. between Silver Springs and Fallon near mile marker LY33.
The NHP says the man was riding his 2006 black Harley Davidson east on U.S. 50 when the motorcycle left the south paved portion of the roadway and struck the south guardrail face. The motorcycle continued eastbound, overturned and ejected the driver.
Shortly thereafter, an unidentified vehicle traveling westbound on U.S. 50 ran over the driver of the motorcycle. The Lyon County deputy coroner pronounced the driver as being dead at the scene.
There is no evidence of alcohol involvement in this accident, according to NHP.
The name of the driver of the motorcycle has not been released pending notification of next of kin.
Anyone who has information about this accident is encouraged to call Trooper Kris Satterwhite at 688-2500.

How do I teach a new app to the students?
I don't…
Well, sort of…
Let me explain….
With productivity apps like iMovie, Keynote, Pages, iA Writer, and Show Me I give the students time to explore and 'play' with the app prior to a learning activity that I know is coming up that will be using a particular app. I begin the lesson by saying to the students that I would like them to have some fun with this new app. I just give a quick overview and show some things what the app can do and then I send the students off to experiment on their own.
While this exploration stage is going on I observe what the students are doing and listen to their conversations. It is amazing to observe these students apply their 21st Century thinking skills and direct their own learning through trial and error, problem solving and collaboration as they openly discuss what they are doing with their small group peers. These young wired brains are quite fearless and the notion of risk-taking is very natural to them when it comes to working with their iPad.
I also enjoying watching what experimental things they create as they explore the new app. For example, when I had my students familiarize themselves with the app Show Me, I had one student create a 'Tic Tac Toe' game and proceeded to find other students to play the game with. In a short period of time several students were into creating their own Show Me game boards. My initial reaction was to judge this choice as being evidence of poor quality use of learning time but I immediately changed my mind when I say what the students did with it. The app was relatively easy to learn so the focus became on the game. The students did not turn on the record button while they played the game but they did review it afterwards. What I marveled at was how they intuitively engaged in metacognitive thinking and reviewed the strategies they used with each turn. They were teaching themselves where to place the X or the O in order to win the game. That was a teachable moment that we teachers always look for and it reminded me of watch a ply back on a televised football game where the sports announcer goes over a play and the viewer can watch the drawn circles and arrows on the screen.
After the students have had their exploration and play time we use the Apple TV which I wrote about here for some of the students to show and share what they discovered about the app. They turn on mirroring on their iPad and teach the class some aspect of the app. The students then quickly check out what was shared on their iPad for a little practice time. The number of show and shares varies but I usually have from 5-10 students contribute something, depending on the complexity of the app.
With this system for teaching apps I have created an environment of a community of learners. Not only are my students engaged in self-directed discovery and learning, they are teaching each other and they are teaching me as their teacher. I do not have the time and nor do I want to spend hours becoming an expert on every single app. I prefer to have my focus be on the learner and the learning and how to effectively integrate the apps on the iPad to support a deeper understanding and high level of learning skills.

Running a second display off of Thunderbolt Display's Thunderbolt Port?
I remember when the 27" Thunderbolt Display came out, the various blogs pointed out that you could NOT run another regular display off of the Thunderbolt Display's TB port, which was a bummer.
What doesn't make sense is that you can run a normal display off the Mac's TB port, but then of course you can't use the TB display.
Yet, one blog noted, interestingly, that one of the TB-based RAID boxes that had a TB thru-port would drive a regular display off of its TB port. So if you went from Mac -> TB Display -> RAID box, you could then run another regular display. This is great, but not worth $1500 to do that.
Has anybody come up with a way to accomplish this without an expensive RAID or other TB hard drive box? The display on my MacBook Pro is too hard to read (I'm getting old), and I'd love to hook up a nice 22" Dell display I have here (1920x1080) in place of it. Otherwise, I'm thinking about selling the MBP and getting a Mac Mini, so I can run a second display off of its HDMI port. I don't have room on my desk for another 27" display or I'd go that route. 'Course there's also the issue of the cost of those things too.

I think you are getting a little confused. The thunderbolt port on the MBP can be used to connect to any external monitor (you just need the appropriate TB - display adapter). I had my MBP connected to a Dell U2311H via a TB - DVI adaptor without issues.
If you bought an Apple Thunderbolt Display you cannot connect a regular monitor to the Thunderbolt Displays thunderbolt port to drive a "regular monitor".
Does that make sense?

Yes, that's what I said. No confusion.
The only way I know of to drive another regular display off of the Thunderbolt Display's TB port is to go through a RAID box, and it may even be JUST the one the blog talked about (I forget the brand).
I wanted to know if there was another way. I know I could get a USB-based solution, but that really isn't what I had in mind.

Hi all!
Hope everyone's out and about enjoying the sunshine today :-) (though clearly not if you're sitting there reading this!).
Just a quick heads-up that Hannah Waddingham will be doing a cabaret in the Delfont room at the Prince of Wales theatre on Saturday 25th April.
Doors open at 10:30pm, with the show starting at 11pm. Sounds like it's gonna be a good evening, with some jazzy stuff going on, and she mentioned that there would be some invited guests performing too. Bar open until 1am.
General admission tickets are £10 I think, with seating being available at £15 or £20. The seating appears to be grouped into little tables, which makes for a nice atmosphere.
Hope to see some of you there!

Question From a New Member
Wed, 11/14/12 3:53 PM
Hi All---just joined and am here for a couple reasons. One is that I think I can provide some value to the forum's members based on what I do for a living. I am an executive with a company that manages and promotes the online reputation of businesses, not limited to restaurants, but we all know how much the service industries are affected by online reviews. Daily we help companies from large national franchises to small mom and pop stores with their online and review presence. The second reason for being here is of course to network and hopefully gain some new clients for our business.
That being said, I didn't want to come here and have people think I am just here to sell our services. That is not the case at all. I am here to share some industry related knowledge and info, and if someone wants my help, that person can certainly reach out to me and I can put him/her in touch with the right person within our company.
In the meantime, I suppose my question is---is there anyone seeking information and help in managing online reputations, and if so, what part of this forum should I share info and begin discussions in?
Thanks all!

Shoutabout us,
You've positioned yourself well. Here are the rules of conduct which don't allow for self promotion, but if people want to ask questions I guess that's OK.

Well, I have a question about the industry in general. Many companies advertise that they can remove malicious reviews; I am not sure that I can see how that is possible. There's one local restaurant where it is clear that they have flooded Yelp with fake reviews; I would not consider that to be an honest business practice. What are honest and ethical sorts of thing one can do to help a business which has gotten undeserved bad chatter? What if the chatter is deserved?

Hi Bart!
First, you're exactly right when it comes to the ability of a company like ours being able to remove bad reviews. We simply CAN'T. Also, we are not in the business of fake reviews either. What we can, and will do, is look through your reviews and ask for those that we believe don't follow the rules of the road for the review site, or those that are plainly from a competitor trying to nail you and push people his way--even promoting their stores in the review of you---we get these flagged for removal. However it is still up the review site whether they are removed or not.
Some other companies that claim to offer a service like ours break the rules by taking reviews from other places and copying them into all of the review sites. This is not "legal" according to most review sites and we won't operate under these practices.
What we do, and recommend anyone else does, is we educate and provide an incentive to our staff to push customers---all of them, not only happy ones---to the review sites. We make it easy for the customers to get there. We have custom built desktop and mobile sites that provide links to all of the major review sites (Yelp, Google, UrbanSpoon, TripAdvisor, etc). For the mobile sites we have collateral all over your store with QR codes on it to direct your customer to the site to choose their review site. On these sites, we also have coupons for you to entice your customer to visit again. We don't require them to place a review to get the coupon---we think that is a little shady.
We also go to all of these review sites for you and not only claim them for you, but we clean them up. We provide a number of services in working on your presence on the review sites to raise your search engine rankings and more. Of course we provide monthly reporting on all of this for you as you should get from any service like ours.
One of our bigger clients, Jersey Mike's, in some of the stores that have followed our every suggestion in how their staff handles things, have seen an increase of over 200% in the number of reviews they get monthly, and their review ranking has gone from an average of less than 4 stars to over 4.5 stars.
Berkeley did a recent study to show that an increase in star ranking of just a half a star on a review site, has provided that restaurant an increase in their business during peak times of around 50%. It shows that people are making choices of where they dine based on reviews for sure.
I'm sorry if this sounds like I am only speaking about how we handle things with my company, but it's the only frame of reference I can speak from---my own. What I can say is that if you are promised by someone that they can remove reviews---that's a lie. Frankly, if the bad reviews are honest, I think you should want to get them---they will help you learn, improve, and grow. Also, sometimes in how you handle or respond to a bad review, you will be viewed in that light by customers looking at you. A solid, customer centered, helpful reply to a bad review is often better than a great review. It makes people want to give the "good guy" a chance to prove himself, if that makes sense.
Hope this helped some.

Reasons NOT to go to Ernie Biggs Dueling Piano bar in Westport:
1. Missing door on one of the stalls in the ladies bathroom (Missing for AT LEAST two months.)
2. The singing is subpar at best.
3. The singing gets worse as the pianists become more intoxicated.
4. Even when you pay $20, they still probably won't play the song you requested.
5. Four out of five of the staff that we dealt with were jerks.
6. The waitress NEVER brought the water I requested for my friend.The waitress NEVER brought the water I requested for my friend.
7. The waitress never brought me change for the $5.50 drink I bought with a $10 bill. (You think you get a 45% tip for one drink?)
8. The waitress confronted the bachelorette about how little she was tipped for only two of the drinks we purchased that night.
9. The manager on duty AGREED with the waitress and her decision to confront us.
I have over 200 facebook friends who now know how much your bar sucks, EBDPB. I will continue to spread the word. Still think customer service is not important in your bar??
I will repost this some day just to continue proving my point. Please feel free to repost as well. Thank you.
full house – This is a great bar with a busy and very good looking and dressed people. The envirnment can get quite loud and packed so expect a possible wait on your drinks. When there are specials they are very cheap. If u cant take a joke DON'T go there and I DON'T want to hear you complain about it. The bouncers I have not seen but once actually use force on someone and that was outside. So dont be beligerent either. The piano players play quite a few songs and there are some you will hear more than others but overall good selection. This is the best piano bar in KC by far. oh and there is not a hotel across thE2W
Garbage – After boycotting Westport for over a year after my friend was murdered in the area, I finally caved because one of my friends was having her 21st birthday at this bar. I showed up dead sober and asked the bartender if there were any specials (it was a weeknight so even though the place was packed, I thought I'd ask.) The bartender laughed and turned and walked away. I couldn't believe it said excuse I would like a drink. He started yelling and a bouncer came over and started to pull me out of the bar. When I told him I would like to leave on my own because I didn't even want to be there he told me to "shut the fu ck up" and literally slammed my head into a concrete pillar on the way out. I don't care whose birthday it is, I am never going back to Westport, or especially this piece of shlt ever again.
What a blast... – I Love Ernie Biggs!! They have great drink specials and something different every night. Check out Tuesday night. Its a DJ night with silly cheap beer.
What a Disappointment – The piano bar seemed like a perfect choice for an evening with old friends - across the street from the hotel, near some good restaurants for dinner, and what's better than a rowdy sing-along with good friends. And at the start, that's exactly what we found - a female musician who was terrific at warming up the crowd and had a great voice to boot, and a male musician with great facial expressions and decent talent. About 30 minutes into the night, though, another guy took the girl's place. I couldn't decide what I hated most - the homophobic jibes, the random choruses of "the slut, the bitch, the whore" thrown into unrelated songs, or his lack of actual knowledge or talent (which he tried to cover up for by pulling out more crass comments). I thought that the night might recover when the girl came back with a bass (at which she was pretty good), but then that same guy pulled out an electric guitar, and cranked up the amp to the point where nobody in the room could hear a friend from less than a foot away (hello hearing loss). Combine that with the slow service, and we walked out the door without a regret.
Waste of Time – When we walked in things seemed promising. There was a man and a woman at the pianos ... she was excellent, he was funny. They sang some great songs and played off of each other well. Then she went on break and this other dude took her place. He was a crass, sexist jerk and really wasn't very talented. He could barely play any of the songs that were requested. To cover up the fact that he was a hack he kept stopping every few measures to interject one of his horrible jokes. Then they all took the stage as a band ... they were tolerable with the brightest spot being the woman on bass. Ridiculously loud - TURN YOUR AMP DOWN, WANNABE GUITAR BOY. The cocktail service was also very slow.
Loved It – I loved this place. I had the most fun here. I talk about with my friends, and we created great memories here. The enviroment was awesome. There was not anybody there that was not having a great time, The bartenders were great. I don't think i had to wait for a drink on a crowded saturday night. And the guys at the pianos were fantatastic!
Not the best time, 2nd rate piano bar – I went to Ernie Biggs expecting a great show. I was sadly disappointed. I am from Baltimore and they have a great piano bar up there. I actually saw a couple of player working at Ernie Biggs that used to play up there??It seems that they are stealing or retreading their talent from other piano bars, rather than hiring and training their own. The show was ok, but the sound and the lighting is terrible. The crowd was disengaged from the show and the service was non existent. It took forever to get a drink and the servers were not very helpful. Every time I go here it seems that they add something else to their show as to compete with the other piano bar in KC. Not original. If your looking for a great piano bar head downtown and stay away from Westport.
Editorial Review – Upscale bar filled with sing-along tunes played by professional piano players.

Morningstar is an independent service that rates mutual funds and variable annuities.
For each fund/account with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's/account's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Where applicable, Morningstar's performance rankings are based on linked performance that considers the differences in expense ratios, while actual performance data shown does not reflect such differences.
The top 10 percent of funds/accounts in a category receive five stars, the next 22.5 percent receive four stars, and the next 35 percent receive three stars, the next 22.5 percent receive two stars and the bottom 10 percent receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund/account within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Morningstar proprietary ratings on U.S.-domiciled funds/accounts reflect historical risk-adjusted performance, are subject to change every month. They are derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

The food is similarly enjoyable although there are some differences to the eclectic Latin menu. Drinks are just as festive and delicious. Food is delicious, however the atmosphere is totaly different and I think it colored our overall impression of the Vegas outlet.
The level on which you enter is small and disjointed. Most diners will eat down one level. We sat outdoors cooling off from the August swelter with their misting stations.
Again, the food was good, but the atmosphere was off. It just felt too secluded, too cut off. The LA restaurant is so much more fun.

Positively Beautiful: Never let them see you sweatHockey season is done for my five year old son Grant, but the aroma of sweaty hockey gear lingers.

Hockey season is done for my five year old son Grant, but the aroma of sweaty hockey gear lingers. A veteran hockey mom told me she dumps pads and all into the washer without problem, so this is on my to-do list for the weekend. I've also noticed recent ads for deodorant regarding stress sweat and it's more pungent odor. Have you ever wondered about sweat?
Sweat is mix of water, salt, and other minerals that evaporates from your skin. It cools you down, allowing your body to maintain its core temperature. There are two kinds of sweat glands: eccrine, which secrete a thin liquid that occurs all over the body when it's hot outside or when you exercise, and apocrine, which emit a thick, oily secretion found mainly at your underarms. The apocrine glands develop around the time of puberty. These secretions have more odor and seem to be exaccerbated by strong feelings like stress, fear, anger, embarassment or nervousness. This is actually part of the "fight or flight" response and can increase the volume of sweat by up to 30 times.
Genetics have a lot to do with how much you sweat and where, though your diet, general health and emotions play a role too. Sweat can occur all over the body, but the highest number of sweat glands are found in the palms of your hands, soles of your feet, forehead and of course the underarms. The underarms also have more of the apocrine glands mentioned above, as well as hair and bacteria which also contribute to body odor. People who live in warm climates tend to adapt and sweat more efficiently, as do athletes.
Certain conditions like menopause, and overactive thyroid and obesity can make people sweat profusely. There is also a condition called primary hyperhydrosis. With this condition, excessive sweating can happen anywhere on the body, but is most common for the palms, soles and underarms. Up to three percent of the population is affected, and it can be quite bothersome and socially problematic. People can go to great lengths to manage this problem, changing shirts several times a day and avoiding hand-shakes. One of my patients complained of dripping sweat on his important business documents. A woman patient always wore dark long-sleeved shirts or cardigans to cover up her sweating, even in the summer. These patients complain about big laundry and dry-cleaning bills, as well as the toll it takes on their self-confidence.
Staying dry and odor-free for most of us involves products. Deodorants curb odor, but not moisture, so most people choose an anti-perspirant-deodorant combination. Studies show that consumers spend almost $2.7 billion dollars per year to stay dry and odor-free.
One tip for making these products more effective is to apply at night before bed, so that they are well-absorbed, and to reapply in the AM, especially if you think you might have a stressful day. These products can be applied anywhere you sweat, but can cause skin irritation in some people. Baking soda used as a powder can be helpful for some people, especially under folds of skin. Dry shampoos can help scalp sweating. Shoe inserts and special fabrics that wick away moisture can also be useful.
A cool shower after a work-out will help lower your core temperature and stop sweating more quickly. Be careful in humid conditions as cooling is more difficult since it prevents sweat from evaporating.
Prescription strength antiperspirants like Drysol contain high levels of the active ingredient aluminum chloride and can be used on palms, soles and underarms. Laser hair removal under the arms decreases the bacteria count along with hair reduction, which seems to decrease odor as well.
Injections of Botox can temporarily deactivate sweat glands. Depending on the regions treated, costs range from $800-$1,200. It is occasionally covered by insurance, and usually lasts 6-9 months.
Other treatments include iontophoresis, which can be used for hands and feet and involves using a low level electrical current in a water bath. MiraDry is a new device that involves numbing the underarms then applying pulses of deep heat to destroy sweat glands permanently. Surgery is also an option for those who struggle despite use of less-invasive methods.
