Atlanta was docked because it doesn't offer anything above and beyond its standard budget documents. Seventeen out of thirty of the cities studies provided residents with online access to "checkbook level" details of expenditures. Atlanta was one of the five failing cities that provided no online checkbook for the cities expenses, which inhibits citizens from knowing what their tax dollars are going to fund.
The report shows that transparency websites cost little to start up, and increase efficiency and ultimately save money in the long run. One of the major benefits to such sites is that it reduces the need for cities to process as many open records requests. Making the information available for wide consumption also helps keep officials accountable to the public. The argument often used in the State Legislature is that disclosure is enough to maintain ethical standards. Having this data on a city level would be one step closer to having a more transparent city, and helping residents trust their local government.
In a press release Laura Murray, Advocate for the Georgia PIRG Education Fund, highlighted how important these standards are saying, "City spending has a profound impact on residents' lives through basic government functions such as policing, sanitation and public health. Spending transparency can help Atlanta's population hold their elected leaders accountable and ensure that tax dollars are well spent."
In order for Atlanta to increase its transparency rating it would need to implement some of the suggestions outlined by Georgia PRIG, namely:

Proceed forward and take the door on the right. Don't forget to grab the ammo next to the body as you enter.
Climb the ladder and enter the vents. Eavesdrop on the guards holding Anna hostage, then crawl down a little further to catch some more soldiers up to no good.
Keep moving down the vent and you'll drop down into a room of dead bodies next to the two guards you just watched. Turn off the light in the room and wait for the guards to quit talking. Once they're finished, one will head towards you. Hide on the right side and wait for him to enter. Throw a knife at him then take out the other guard.
After looting their bodies, don't forget to grab the ammo on the table. There is also a Tihar, if you're looking to replace one of your weapons with something a little more silent.
Head down the hall and you'll come to a tunnel. Head to the right to grab some supplies next to one of the bodies, then proceed back down the other direction.
You'll come across a group of soldiers. Wait for them to separate and take them down one at a time. There are some military grade rounds in the back of the train car, and some filters in a box in front of the car. Make sure you shoot out the light in the cab of the train car, otherwise there is a guard that will see you when you grab the filters.
Now enter the room across from the train car. Kill the two soldiers silently, and loot some filters out of the lockers next to the lantern. Climb the ladder and enter the next area. There is a scoped long barrel revolver on the right, along with some ammo. Grab it if you want it.
Kill the guy across from you with a throwing knife, as well as the guy on the right side of the room. Then dispatch the last guy on the left.
Collect your knives from the bodies, and head into the next room. Kill the soldier who is looting the dead body, and collect the supplies on the table, as well as in the lockers.
Don't worry about going into the open tunnel, there isn't anything out there besides a booby trap. Instead, head to the closed door. After you open it you'll have to put on your mask since the room is flooded with gas.
Go up the ladder and kill he guy at the top silently. Head forward and into the next room with all of the dead bodies. Collect the ammo on the center table, there is also the Helsing on the table to the right.
Proceed down the stairs and you'll witness a soldier being ordered to kill his captain. Take out the soldier silently, and make sure to take out the lamp from a distance. There are soldiers in the large room to the right that will spot you otherwise.
There are some filters directly across from the bottom of the stairs, in a little room with a window to the first area. Grab those and check around for a Guitar (1/3). It's in one of the rooms. Once you find and play it, head into the large room on the right. Take out the soldiers carefully, if they spot you they'll chuck incendiary grenades your way.
After you've taken out all of the guards, be sure to collect all of their ammo. There is also a Guitar (2/3) in the center of the room, if you're going for the Musician Trophy/Achievement.
Head into the next area and turn left. Go up the stairs and onto the catwalk above. Take it all the way across to get a Note (1/1) sitting on the table. Head out the door and keep going along the catwalk. You'll find another Guitar (3/3) resting on a chair. Grab the filters on the table in the room next to you, and the contents of the safe.
Kill the guards below and drop off the edge of the catwalk. Before you head down the burning tunnel, turn around and go into the little room with the blue flame lantern and grab the filter off of the dead guy. Crawl through the burning furniture and continue forward, making sure to grab the health kit and the ammo on the table with the lamp.
Head back the way you came and then proceed down the burning hallway from earlier.
After passing through, grab the supplies and drop down the hole. Pick up the filter and keep going forward. As you get to the end of the little passage way, be careful not to just walk out. There are a few soldiers in the area that will spot you if you don't let them pass.
Let the one soldier walk up stairs, we'll deal with him later. Instead take out the other soldier quietly. Loot his body and take the supplies in the little box near the lamp.
In the next room there is a soldier watch a pile of bodies burn. One of the guys isn't quite dead yet, and he decides to try and run. If you're not careful this will cause the one soldier to spot you. Take him out with a knife carefully, there are two soldiers throwing corpses on the fire and they might spot you if you're not careful.
Quickly and quietly take them both out. Then back track and head where that one soldier went upstairs. Kill him and loot his things, then head into the next room and kill that guy as well as taking the supplies in the box on the table.
When you walk out onto the catwalk, it will collapse, and you'll be in the room you were earlier. Loot the soldiers and collect the filters by the lamp on the left of the room. There is also a silenced Kalash on the table by the lamp.
Head into the next area and kill the soldier on the left who is standing a little too close to the fire while reading some books. Head up the burning staircase, carefully, and kill the guard up there. You'll find some supplies by him.
Head back downstairs and through the burning passage. It will collapse once you go through. Kill the guard in front of you with a knife, but don't forget to grab the filter and supplies on the right after you enter the area.
Take out the last guard and head forward towards the door.
You'll find Anna being held hostage. You'll have two options: Take off your mask, or just shoot the guy. They both lead to the same outcome, and shooting him doesn't kill him. But taking off your mask gives you the Savior trophy/achievement.

Winter Alchemy, not seen since February when fifth to Golden Sparkle at Musselburgh, gained his only success to date here in the summer of 2011. A market move for the Richards' inmate would be significant. Taruma didn't do too badly on his second start of the campaign when fifth here to Malin Bay but the ex-French gelding does look a bit quirky, whilst Solway Bay and Ryton Runner finished first and third here last time and both are respected with course and distance successes in the book. CALL BOX has a handicap chase entry here on Tuesday evening and would be the choice if turning out. The Witness Box gelding was only 4l adrift of the winner in the aforementioned Malin Bay race here and a repeat of that effort would probably suffice.

Treasury Remittances
"We are remitting a lot to the Treasury today, on order of $80 billion or $90 billion. But those remittances will drop a lot" and may near zero, he said, citing a recent Fed paper. "Things are going to change dramatically, going forward."
Bullard told reporters that monetary policy was appropriate in his view now. "We have room to maneuver" with inflation low.
In his prepared remarks, Bullard said changes in asset purchases should be made in response to changes in the labor market, including the unemployment rate, employment, hours worked, and Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey data.
In one sign of an improving labor market, jobless claims decreased by 27,000, the most in a month, to 341,000 in the week ended Feb. 9, Labor Department figures showed today. Employers added 157,000 workers to payrolls in January after hiring a revised 196,000 the month before, and the unemployment rate climbed to 7.9%, Labor Department figures showed Feb. 1.
Current measures of inflation are "rather low," which Bullard said may give the FOMC some leeway to continue asset purchases for longer than otherwise.
Fed Stimulus
Bullard said the potency of Fed stimulus today may be misunderstood, because in December it replaced the end of its Operation Twist program, in which it swapped short-term Treasuries for longer-term bonds, with outright bond purchases.
"Open-ended outright purchases are a more potent tool," he said. "2013 is characterized by a relatively potent open- ended outright asset purchase program combined with more effective threshold-based forward guidance."
The Fed last month left unchanged its December link of its interest-rate outlook to economic thresholds, saying borrowing costs will stay low "at least as long" as joblessness exceeds 6.5% and if projected inflation won't go beyond 2.5% between one and two years in the future.
The FOMC in September started a third round of asset purchases and expanded it in December, saying the quantitative easing will continue until the labor market is improving "substantially."
Bullard, 51, who calls himself the "North Pole of inflation hawks," has been viewed as a bellwether for investors because his views have sometimes foreshadowed policy changes. He was the first Fed official in 2010 to call for a second round of asset purchases.
Bullard joined the St. Louis Fed's research department in 1990 and became president of the regional bank in 2008. His district includes all of Arkansas and parts of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee.

She raised an eyebrow. "You know what I mean."
I decided to play dumb. "No, I don't."
She leaned forward so that her face was inches from my own, and said in a low voice. "I know what you are, Prongs."
My heart beat faster, and not just because of her closeness. I could smell her peppermint breath. "Then tell me what I am," I murmured in an equally low voice, my hazel eyes meeting her green ones, daring her to say it.

MacKynd History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Origins Available: Scottish, Welsh
Scotland and the desolate Hebrides islands are the ancient home of the MacKynd family. Their name is derived from the given name Ian or John. John is the most common personal name in the Highlands. The Gaelic form of the name is Mac Iain.
Early Origins of the MacKynd family
Argyllshire (Gaelic erra Ghaidheal), the region of western Scotland corresponding roughly with the ancient Kingdom of Dál Riata, in the Strathclyde region of Scotland, now part of the Council Area of Argyll and Bute, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
Early History of the MacKynd family
Another 301 words (22 lines of text) covering the years 1292, 1340, 1618, 1717, 1777, 1808, and 1875 are included under the topic Early MacKynd History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
MacKynd Spelling Variations
Spelling variations were extremely common in medieval names, since scribes from that era recorded names according to sound rather than a standard set of rules. MacKynd has appeared in various documents spelled MacIan, MacAne, MacKane, MacKean, MacKain and others.
Early Notables of the MacKynd family (pre 1700)
Another 44 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early MacKynd Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the MacKynd family to Ireland
Some of the MacKynd family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Another 178 words (13 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the MacKynd family to the New World and Oceana
The descendants of the Dalriadan families who made the great crossing of the Atlantic still dot communities along the east coast of the United States and Canada. In the American War of Independence, many of the settlers traveled north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. Clan societies and highland games have allowed Canadian and American families of Scottish descent to recover much of their lost heritage. Investigation of the origins of family names on the North American continent has revealed that early immigrants bearing the name MacKynd or a variant listed above include: John MacKane settled in Carolina in 1806; Alexander, John, Peter, Thomas MacKane all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860; James MacKean settled in Carolina in 1767.

Blue chip (stock market)
A blue chip is stock in a corporation with a national reputation for quality, reliability, and the ability to operate profitably in good times and bad.[1][2] The most popular index that follows United States blue chips is the Dow Jones Industrial Average, a price-weighted average of 30 blue-chip stocks that are generally the leaders in their industry. All companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average are blue-chips, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average is an index that does not include all companies that are blue chips. Nevertheless, it has been a widely followed indicator of the stock market since October 1, 1928.[3]
As befits the sometimes high-risk nature of stock picking, the term "blue chip" derives from poker. The simplest sets of poker chips include white, red, and blue chips, with tradition dictating that the blues are highest in value. If a white chip is worth $1, a red is usually worth $5, and a blue $25.
In 19th-century United States, there was enough of a tradition of using blue chips for higher values that "blue chip" in noun and adjective senses signaling high-value chips and high-value property are attested since 1873 and 1894, respectively.[4] This established connotation was first extended to the sense of a blue-chip stock in the 1920s.[5] According to Dow Jones company folklore, this sense extension was coined by Oliver Gingold sometime in the 1920s when Gingold was standing by the stock ticker at the brokerage firm that later became Merrill Lynch. Noticing several trades at $200 or $250 a share or more, he said to Lucien Hooper of W.E. Hutton & Co. that he intended to return to the office to "write about these blue-chip stocks". It has been in use ever since, originally in reference to high-priced stocks, more commonly used today to refer to high-quality stocks.[6] In contemporary media, blue chip stocks and their daily performances are frequently mentioned alongside other economic averages like the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

deleting messages
when users delete mail from their outlook cliient it does delete the message from the blackberry but........
One of our users has created a outlook PST file and moved mail from the primary inbox to the PST. This does not remove the mail from the blackberry. Is this correct? Why does the blackberry assume that the mail is still in the Inbox?
"Orphaned" messages will be removed based on the "Keep Messages" setting under General Options. If you keep messages "Forever", they will go away when the Blackberry decides it needs the room based on age.
While you can also sync to a PST, it's not very advisable unless you leave the Redirector/Desktop Manager running on the machine that has the PST, but I can't say what happens on the Blackberry as I've never done it in over six years of using Blackberries.

8.550801 - KHACHATURIAN, A.I.: Spartacus, Suites Nos. 1- 3
Aram Il'yich Khachaturian (1903- 1978)
Spartacus Suite No.1
Suite No.2
Suite No.3
The Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian was born in Tblisi in 1903 and had his musical training at the Gnesin Music Academy in Moscow, entering in 1929 the Moscow Conservatory, where he was a pupil of Prokofiev's friend and mentor, Miaskovsky. He established himself as a composer during the 1930s and held official positions in the Union of Soviet Composers, although he was included in the condemnation of formalism, together with Shostakovich and Prokofiev, in 1948. Nevertheless his style of composition, with the use of regional elements from Armenia and elsewhere in the southern areas of the Soviet Union, in the end ensured his continuing reputation, enhanced once more, after the death of Stalin in 1953, by his ballet Spartacus, a work that combined spectacle in its crowd scenes and attention to individual virtuosity in its solos, with a plot that could not but satisfy the ideals of the regime. Writing in a tonal idiom with richly coloured orchestration, Khachaturian was opposed to modern experiment in composition and in spite of the condemnation of 1948 held publicly that Soviet composers enjoyed a creative freedom impossible in the West, with its modernising fashions, to which subservience was obligatory. During his life-time he received many honours, including in 1954 the title People's Artist. He died in 1978.
The ballet Spartacus, the score of which was completed in 1954, deals with the slave rebellion led by the hero of that name against Roman domination. The historical Spartacus himself was Thracian by birth, a shepherd who became a robber. He was taken prisoner and sold to a trainer of gladiators in Capua, but in 73 B.C. he escaped, with other prisoners, and led a rebellion during the course of which he defeated the Roman armies and caused devastation throughout Italy. He was eventually defeated by Crassus, a general well known for his wealth, and put to death by crucifixion, together with his followers. It should be added that to Karl Marx Spartacus was the first great proletarian hero, a champion of the people, while the ultimate fate of Crassus, killed in 53 B.C. during the course of a campaign that had taken him to Armenia, might have had a particular significance for Khachaturian.
Spartacus was first produced at the Kirov Theatre in Leningrad in 1956, with choreography by Leonid Jacobson, and was re-staged at the Bolshoy in Moscow two years later, with choreography by Igor Moiseyev. The relative failure of these productions was followed by what must be seen as the definitive version at the Bolshoy in 1968, with choreography and a revised libretto by Yuri Grigorovich, Vladimir Vasiliev as Spartacus and Ekaterina Maximova as Phrygia.
The ballet opens in Rome, where Crassus is buying Thracian prisoners, including Spartacus and his wife Phrygia. Spartacus will not accept his fate. In the second scene the slaves are sold, below the walls of the Capitol, and Phrygia, separated now from her husband, laments her uncertain fate. She has been bought by Crassus and in his villa his mistress Aegina mocks her fears: she herself cares only for power, money and dissolute living. In an orgy two blindfold slaves trained as gladiators are brought in and made to fight each other to the death. One of them wins and reveals himself as Spartacus, dismayed now at having killed a fellow-slave. He wonders what his fate will be. The scene changes to the barracks of the gladiators, where Spartacus urges his fellow-slaves to fight for freedom. They swear to follow him.
The second of the three acts of the final version opens with a shepherd dance. Runaway slaves arrive and urge them to join the revolt, with Spartacus as their leader. He resolves to find and set free his wife Phrygia. Crassus celebrates his triumph and Spartacus now learns of Phrygia's fate. During a banquet given by Crassus, Spartacus escapes with Phrygia. Aegina does her best to gain her ends by dominating Crassus, who himself has grandiose political ambitions: he uses force and she uses her wits, but both have similar aims. At his villa the guests of Crassus celebrate, but news is brought that Spartacus and his men have surrounded the place. Crassus, Aegina and the nobles make their escape, leaving the slaves in charge of the villa. Spartacus realises that Roman strength lies in its armies and in the subservience of the people: in fact the Romans are cowards. In the fourth scene of the act Crassus is defeated and brought before Spartacus, who insists on single combat, rather than putting his enemy to death. Crassus loses, but is spared by Spartacus, who sends him contemptuously away.
The third act brings a conspiracy against Spartacus. Crassus is urged by Aegina to seek revenge and raises an army for the purpose. Aegina has time to give vent to her hatred of Spartacus and in the following scene enters the slave camp by night. Phrygia is uneasy and Spartacus tries to calm her. A messenger brings news of the advance of the Roman legions, against which Spartacus has a daring plan, to which his immediate supporters object. Aegina, meanwhile, with the help of the traitor Harmodius, is still intent on revenge. This she accomplishes as the slaves wait for their leader's battle signal. She now plies them with wine and brings women to corrupt and weaken them, leading to their defeat by Crassus and her own reward. Crassus is determined that they shall die. In a final battle Spartacus is surrounded and captured, to be raised up on legionary spears. Phrygia comes to seek him, and is left mourning over his dead body.
The first three suites from the ballet were arranged by the composer between 1955 and 1957, before the revision of the score for the Bolshoy in 1968. Music is taken from various scenes in the ballet, with the best known the solo of Aegina, a quick waltz, followed by general celebration in a Bacchanalia, the following dance with the crotala, an instrument similar to the castanets and the moving Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia, with the dance of the girls from Cadiz, the Gaditanae, from the second act, when Spartacus and Crassus fight in single combat. Other movements in the suites are taken from various parts of the original ballet, with characteristic dances providing divertissements, in a work that in general follows a spectacular use of the corps de ballet with a solo dance that reflects the feelings of the principal characters in the story.

In China, we invested in a truly state-of-the-art clean room that draws on everything we know from U.S. manufacturing practices and innovations. Our goal is to offer a low-cost country option with the same stringent quality systems.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 05, 2014
FMI, a leading medical silicone molding manufacturer, announced the official opening of their ultra-clean manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China. The company has built a state-of-the-art ISO Class 7 cleanroom for medical device manufacturing as an addition to a facility owned and operated since 2004 by their parent company, Flexan Corporation. FMI specializes in manufacturing critical parts made of molded silicone rubber for implantable and disposable medical devices, surgical devices, lab equipment, and medication delivery systems.
FMI has spent three years developing and validating its ultra-clean manufacturing capabilities in the Suzhou facility and began shipping products from there to a multinational client last year. The FMI facility in Suzhou is now taking orders from new and existing clients who wish to expand manufacturing outside the U.S.
"Five years ago, our medical device OEM clients were telling us that they wanted to grow their manufacturing and marketing to emerging markets in Asia and India," said Frank Sullivan, president of FMI. "In China, we invested in a truly state-of-the-art cleanroom that draws on everything we know from U.S. manufacturing practices and innovations. Our goal is to offer a low-cost country option with the same stringent quality systems."
About FMI Medical Silicone Molding
FMI is a leading supplier of medical-grade silicone components designed primarily for use in implantable Class II and Class III medical devices. Since 1989 FMI has been helping medical device manufacturers develop new products and expand their global market reach. FMI opened its manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China in 2010. Both facilities are ISO 13485-certified for medical devices with Class 5, 6 and 7 cleanrooms in the US and Class 7 cleanrooms in China. FMI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Flexan Corporation, which began operations in 1946 in Chicago and also has a facility in Suzhou China which opened in 2004.

* I spent nearly a year on this site, most of it just reading all of the awesome AAR reports. A good deal of it is well-written, and some of the longer ones are practically novel-length. The most popular sections tend to be the ''Europa Universalis'' and ''Hearts of Iron'' boards, but there's good stuff everywhere. I'd say it's possibly the largest cohesive fan fiction community on the 'Net.
* I'd especially recommend the Yogi's impressive alternate history/crossover fanfic (in two immensely long parts, and with a planned third installment) "The Master-Plan/Empire of Fu Manchu". It involves Indiana Jones, James Bond, Biggles, the Cthulhu mythos, The Shadow, Buck Rogers, Conan (well, references) and hundreds of other stuff. And it's AWESOME.

* Recommended by @/{{L-chan}}
* ''Status'': Complete
* ''Synopsis'': While technically in the ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' universe, the story is in fact about a rogue squadron of Original Characters dedicated to hunt and purge the magic world from a weird race of creatures known as {{Mary Sue}}s. Complications arise when the Ministry of Magic decides to do their own approach in Sue hunting, while a terrible force lurks underneath, waiting for a chance to emerge and attack all opposing factions. Have I mentioned that the rogue squadron is entirely composed of former Sues and Stus? As put in the summary: "They're annoying. They're parasitic. And now they've realised. {{Canon}} has never been in so much trouble. A full cast of [[MarySue Sues]], [[MartyStu Stus]] and [[{{Spork}} triplepronged cutlery]]!".
* ''Comments'': This fic is an interesting {{Deconstruction}} of the MarySue concept and the prevalence of the phenomenon in the fandom, while translating the MST jargon into workable concepts in-story. In the fic, the Mary Sues are classified as [[BodyHorror parasitic creatures]] with the ability of [[RealityWarper change the reality to their whims]], which makes them more dangerous what it could appear to the naked eye. The only way they can deal with is either killing the Sue or purging it with repeated sporking (as in literally stab the being with sporks) until the Sue, or at least its "Influence", leaves the body. Only people who a remaining sense of Self can survive the latter procedure, and then they have to quickly build a new personality (often almost from zero) to prevent the Sue's return. The implications of this are explored in detail. Very fun read, even more if you're into MST and Sue sporking.

First Review by will-travel-for-food
Bela is welcome throwback to the early days of vegetarian food - nothing fancy or trendy - just solid eats with lots of vegetables, rice, noodles, tofu, tempeh etc. On our visits, we've had the curries, stirfrys, and cutlets... Most recently we had a phenomenal sweet pea and mint soup along with BBQ tempeh, kale and rice noodles. We also had the simple and delicious Cindy Special - a veg cutlet with steamed vegetables smothered in vegan gravy - 1/2 the price of this item goes to a local hospice! Being vegan I just wish they were all vegan.
Pros: Fresh!, Not trying to be too fancy or trendy!, No fragrance policy!
Cons: Not Vegan
Great vegetable curry dish from the blackboard on my first visit and pasta with tofu Italian sausage, as well as a plate-sized green salad both times. I elected to have the curry served with rice (which was of the whole-grain brown variety). For the pasta dish I chose whole wheat pasta from among three options on the menu board. The salad was a good deal in my opinion for about $5. Sides such as steamed vegetables were available. The main dishes were both scrumptious with the vegetable-packed curry getting the nutrient-density award and the pasta dish the most flavorful—a perfectly executed dish. The curries on offer varied from night to night. The atmosphere and offerings were appetizing. The intimate size and background music allowed the place to gurgle with quiet conversation.
Updated from previous review on 2017-05-02
Pros: tasty, fresh, well-prepared dishes, many healthy dishes emphasizing vegetables, nice intimate space and pleasant atmosphere
Cons: some (clearly marked) dairy-containing items, parking tight on the weekend
I arrived today with a lady friend from out of town, trying to explain how much time I spend in Northampton, the.cook came.from out the back and asked that we leave due to a perfume or colgne we were wearing.... I've never heard such a thing! NOT THE WAY TO SERVICE BLACK COUPLES TRYING TO PATRONIZE YOUR ESTABLISHMENT!!! WE LEFT FEELING INDIFFERENT CONFUSED ETC. YOU KNOW WITH THE MULTICULTURAL SENSITIVITY IN THE TOWN'S HISTORY, THAT WAS TOTALLY ABHORRENT. BLACK MEN DONT EAT HERE, YOUR LUNCH DATE WILL BE MORTIFIED, BY THE WAY...WE WERE NOT WEARING ANYTHING NO COLOGNE NO PERFUME JUST BLACK SKIN
I stopped here for a quick lunch when I was passing through the area. The place has a cafe-like vibe - very welcoming and relaxing.
I ordered the cutlet with potatoes. It came with a nice salad full of sprouted legumes and nice veggies; the dressing was excellent as well.
The cutlet wasn't quite what I expected. I thought it would have a chewing, meaty texture, but it was more like a veggie meatloaf. That said, it was still good, and the gravy was really tasty.
Pros: Good food, Relaxed atmosphere, Nice service
This is a small, cozy, and clean restaurant. Great vibe inside with extremely helpful staff. The food is mainly local and organic. Their tofu and tempeh is also made locally (when possible). Absolutely delicious and fresh meals. I ordered a vegetable stir-fry with tofu & brown rice. It wasn't your usual Chinese restaurant standard fare..it was flavorful, not overcooked, fresh...I want some now just thinking about it. My companion ordered a dish off of the 'daily special' board. He wanted to substitute two items and was able to by making a donation to a charity, So basically, if you'd like to substitute an item you may do so, but a small donation ($5.) will be added to the bill. You will be informed of this and able to agree or change your order to something else. The owner/chef is all alone in the kitchen and although it didn't take an enormous amount of time for us to receive our food (but could have on a busier night), it is one of the reasons there is a donation-for-food-substitution rule in place. Also, I should add, there is a sign on the door asking persons who are perfumed to not dine there due to the chef's severe chemical allergies. That was an a-ok rule by me. Just a heads up for all you eau de toilette lovers out there. (Cash Only Place)
Pros: incredibly fresh food, super knowledgeable/helpful staff, clean clean clean
Cons: Cash Only - I suppose could be a con
I had a lovely meal of veggies and rice noodles. Meals are cooked individually so it may take a little while to get your meal. Good size portions that were very tasty.
Pros: cooked to order, pleasant staff
Cons: no credit cards
A great dining experience. Great food at a very reasonable price.
Pros: Very friendly
Cons: Cash only
I love Bela! Great variety and an ever changing menu. Most items can be made gluten free as well without losing quality or flavor. Hearty meals and very reasonably priced.
Something new every day! Interesting combinations of spices and ingredients. Price is very reasonable. Atmosphere perfect!
Always fresh food and generous size portions. It's a must try when you're in town visiting.
I don't think I have had food this good as a vegan or as a omnivore. Ate here with my husband and son and had a HUGE variety of options to choose from. I am a really good cook, and wish I could cook have as good as Bela's chef. Normally I have been finding sandwiches or the occasional pasta. Here there was a mouth-watering extensive list of specials on the wall, and then the regular menu! All three meals were outstanding. The chocolate almond coconut pie was incredible.
Pros: Excellent food, Great value, Outstanding staff
Cons: It's not in my neighborhood or state!
Bela has a really adorable atmosphere and feels like sitting in someone's lived in dining room. The food was delicious - I had a special tempeh and zucchini with black bean sauce. The coconut almond chocolate pie (vegan) was amazing. I'm really impressed that most of (if not all) of the food is locally sourced and that the desserts are all made in house. There aren't a TON of options, but I'd rather have solid staples and creative specials that use in season food than a huge range of dishes that aren't made well or with quality ingredients. If I were to get really picky, service was a tiny bit slow, but done very nicely and we got water refills and were checked on! Only complaints would be convenience - it's cash only and any substitutions come with a fee (which is donated to charity). Also, everything is clearly labeled for people with allergies, gluten-free, or vegan!
Pros: Good quality food, Cute atmosphere
Cons: Fee for Substitution, Cash only
My partner and I visit Northampton few times a year. Been meaning to check out this place but for some reason they were always closed when we were in town. Last evening we finally caught them open so we went right in and managed to grab ourselves the last free table.
The menu was basic but nutritionally comprehensive. For entrees you can choose to have some kind of veggie burgers or a plate of protein (tofu/tempeh/seitan) with greens tossed with your selection of sauce and plain rice (brown/white) on the side. I got one of the specials - tempeh and kale with a Mediterranean glaze, which was truly delicious. I don't know how they prepared the kale but it was the tastiest bunch I have ever had! The sauce was just amazing, thanks to the staffer who suggested I should get this as opposed to the Chinese hoisin-plum glaze. My partner ordered the Harvest Burger off the regular menu. It was a thick, hearty patty, crispy on the outside but totally bland, mushy on the inside and had no seasoning whatsoever, which was disappointingly inconsistent given how flavorful my dish was. The bread and the roasted potatoes on the side were decent though. To round off our meal we shared a piece of homemade apple walnut cake drizzled with caramel sauce topped with vegan whipped cream. Just the right amount of sweetness, great texture, perfect! We "grilled" the staffer quite a bit before picking this one as all the desserts were vegan and we just didn't know which one to get :)
It's not a big place but the setting is really cute and cozy. Service was nothing short of friendly and cordial. Ordering was a breeze because everything was clearly marked according to dietary restrictions, plus the staff was also very forthcoming with recommendations and suggestions. My only pet peeve was that the room felt a little stuffy and needed to be better ventilated.
Pros: healthy & tasty, staff, all vegan desserts
Cons: needs better ventilation
We've been there three times with hopes that each time would be better. However, the veggie protein had a stale '70's taste that one always remembers (Veggie from '75-'06. Vegan now). The third visit was to get some take-out food, which they declined to do. The waitress would have gotten a nice tip. Now, we don't got there anymore.
Updated from previous review on Wednesday July 20, 2011
Pros: Vegetarian, street parking .75¢ hour
Cons: price for what you get, uncomfortable chairs
I go to Bela when I want a good, healthy, tasty, spicy, satisfying meal to my liking. Their stirfries are cretainly the specialty in my opinion. Although their menu and specials may not seem to be anything special the cook knows exactly how to work a stirfry with perfect-tasting finishing sauces that I cannot replicate at home. Sometimes even if the specials look good I order the regular stirfry on the menu because it is so wholesome and delicios. I have several friends who do the same, though the specials are always good and the burgers on the menu are always well-liked.
All specials are well-marked as to ingredients and level of spice, and staff are always very friendly and kowledgeable. However, you cannot expect to substitue anything on the menu unless you offer a donation to the charity of the month that is indicated on the board.
The desserts are always all vegan, and although I have only had dessert once to attest to its deliciousness, people always rave about them. The lunch portions are cheaper if you arrive before a certain time.
Bela offers very good, from-scratch cooking at a fair price. The seating is limited and can be crowded at times, but the ambiance is enjoyable.
Pros: Healthy & delicious, Perfect portions, good value, Kind friendly staff
Cons: No substitutions easily allowed, Cash only
Bela's basic menu doesn't change much. Nothing is wildly imaginative or gourmet. But, what they do they do well. Plenty of vegan options and the menu is clearly marked as to dietary content. It would be nice if they changed up their menu from time to time.
This a small restaurant and it can be quite crowded during prime dining nights and times. Cash only. Menu items are sometimes sold out, so have a back up selection picked out. Staff is always friendly and helpful.
Desserts here sound good but i've never had one. The portions are generous and I never have room for dessert. Even my non-veg family likes going to Bela.
Bela is a tasty but sometimes frustrating dining option. They serve a number of menu items that are tough to find elsewhere in the area, but as others have said, tend to have to 86 numerous menu items if you don't arrive early. Most of the menu items are starchy or salty, with not much in the way of spice, and the basic menu can be repetitious, though the ecclectic specials sometimes are really interesting or unusual. Food is always very fresh, and portions are quite generous. Numerous vegan or 'can be prepped vegan' options. Service is friendly is occasionally a little erratic. Big downsides are very limited hours, including sometimes closing before posted times (which are not all that late to begin with), closing shop for a week or two at a time for occasional vacations, and cash-only payment, the main barrier to entry for us when we don't want to make a separate ATM trip just to eat there only to arrive and find they've stopped serving half an hour early. That said, it's a fine option for mid-range (entrees are reasonably priced, but a la carte items like soups and desserts and bevvies can pad the bill pretty quickly there) sit-down dining as long as you've got a back-up option and a couple of 20s at the ready, particularly if you've got a vegan or two along.
Pros: Good Vegan Options, Generous Portions, Interesting Specials
Cons: Frequent 86es, Cash Only, Erratic Schedule
Bela is a nice, quaint place. They have a lot of vegan options, although their menu is in need of an update. It's been pretty much the same for a long while now, and if you're a returning customer you're faced with repetition. The tofu/veggie stir fry is the usual over salted, 'we need to satisfy the vegans' fare, with not a lot of imagination. The seitan is VERY salty, so beware. But these are just personal tastes, and not the biggest problem. Here is the biggest problem with Bela--they constantly run out of things. It's to the point now where we just don't suggest anyone go there because we know they will not have many choices. Here's an idea, Bela--ORDER MORE FOOD!
Prices are reasonable, service is good, but there's another problem--their hours are impossible. They claim to stop serving at 8:45 or so (?! Hello????), but if you get there at 8:25 you may or may not be served...this is seemingly dependent upon the mood of the cook, the moon, the stars, what they've run out of--it's pretty annoying.
So, if you get lucky and they have what you want, and you can be there by around 6pm, all may work out just fine. Good luck!
Pros: Many vegan options, Nice servers, Good desserts
Cons: ALWAYS RUN OUT OF MANY ITEMS, Over sauced/salty food, Time to change the menu!
Nice little place but the food was disappointing. Big chunks of veges on the plate and not very tasty.
Pros: friendly staff
Bela is an awesome little spot. Its set back away from all hustle and bustle its a quaint with its kind of old style diner atmosphere. I had a veggie patty and miso with sprouted whole grain bread, both were delicious and the prices are very reasonable.
Pros: healthy and flavorful, great value, friendly and effecient
Cons: a little cramped
Bela is a terrific spot. They do have a way with greens and tempeh - so much so that the first time I went there I swapped my pasta meal with my husband for his collards and tempeh dish because the flavors just popped.
Soups and dessert are also yummy and I've found the staff to be friendly and helpful.
Happy, healthy eating.
I love Bela's. This place prepares greens (collard greens, kale, etc.) in the most delicious ways imaginable. I almost always order something from the specials board when I go. It's very easy to determine what is vegan vs. vegetarian, and everything is fantastic. The waitresses are always super nice, too. Bela's is a great, tiny little place with a lot of character. You can tell that it is a labor of love.
Pros: delicious greens, nice staff, quaint and adorable
Cons: not open late

The Commonwealth of Kentucky has a long and strong history of coordinated planning efforts to prevent and end homelessness. In 2002, Kentucky was one of eight states invited by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to participate in the Homeless Policy Academy, which provided intensive policy-building forums designed to help states develop action plans for improving access to mainstream services for people experiencing homelessness. As a result of these academies, Governor Ernie Fletcher created the Kentucky Council on Homeless Policy (KCHP) to develop a ten-year plan to end chronic homelessness in Kentucky. In 2005, KCHP released Kentucky's Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness (http://kyhomeless.org/Documents/10year-plantoendhomelessness2005.pdf) which was compiled with input from local government partners and the public through 12 community forums.
Recognizing the success of this coordinated planning effort and that "effectively addressing homelessness requires collaboration among state agencies, local governments, the private sector, and service provider networks to coordinate program development, deliver essential services, and provide housing" Governor Fletcher issued Executive Order 2007-751 to create the Kentucky Interagency Council on Homelessness (KICH) forming a centralized organization to ensure that collaboration. This led to a year-long planning process intended to develop local priorities, recommendations and action strategies for implementing Kentucky's Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness in coordination with the cities of Louisville and Lexington, as well as the six designated Continuum of Care regions within the state of Kentucky. This culminated in the January 2009 release of Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness: Update 2009 (http://kyhomeless.org/Documents/10year-plantoendhomelessness.pdf), which updated progress made towards meeting the plan's goals and the collaborative response to the increased demand for homeless services as a result of the economic crisis. To ensure alignment of Kentucky's goals with those established by USICH through Opening Doors: Federal Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness-2010 in 2010, the Commonwealth released Steps Toward Ending Homelessness: 2012 Update to Kentucky's Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness, which also updated Kentucky's progress towards meeting established goals. http://kyhomeless.org/Documents/2012%20Steps%20Toward%20Ending%20Homelessness.pdf
In 2016, the Kentucky Legislature passed Senate Bill 225 (kich-hpp-revised-law-krs-194a-735-in-effect-2016-7-15) which codified the establishment of KICH and allowed expansion of the Homeless Prevention Pilot Project (HPPP) as KRS 194A.735. KRS 194A.735 (10)(a) attached KICH to the Homeless and Housing Coalition of Kentucky for administrative purposes. Under the law, KICH includes but is not limited to the following members:
- The secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services;
- The executive director of the Homeless and Housing Coalition of Kentucky;
- The chief executive officer of the Kentucky Housing Corporation;
- The commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Veterans' Affairs;
- The secretary of the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet;
- The secretary of the Education and Workforce Development Cabinet;
- The secretary of the Transportation Cabinet;
- The executive director of the Administrative Office of the Courts;
- The state budget director;
- A representative from the Kentucky Housing Association, representing public housing authorities,
- An individual who has previously experienced homelessness and addiction,

Both versions have pretty terrible framerate - the PS3 version only a bit more so (unless there's a lot of cars/people on screen, then the 360 version is slightly worse). It'll be nice to play this on PC with a stable 60fps, instead of at 26fps.
PS3 has more processing power than the Xbox 360.
Actually the GPU in the 360 is a bit better than the PS3's.

In the Gallery: Melded Mindscapes
featuring the works of Melanie Teresa Bohrer & Alex Carlisle
Alex Carlisle
strive to create graphic imagery that expresses space in a way that the
viewer has to imagine to understand. Surrealism is a concept that I
embrace and try to join with abstraction to create a new visual language. This language
attempts to explore physiological and metaphysical atmospheres that
surround us everyday. I am interested in architecture and landscape, but
I am more interested in what happens in between the materials and the
structures that make up a space." Originally from Jamestown, RI, Alex
currently manages his Fine Arts career along with two businesses, ASEA
and Print Designs and Custom Print House. He graduated from the Rhode
Island School of Design with a BFA in Printmaking in 2010.
Melanie Teresa Bohrer
"My most recent projects exemplify different states of mind, created during introspective, almost meditative or automatic drawing sessions. The created 'mindscapes' have evolved
from mindless doodles to window insights into my ways of thinking, or
my perception of daily life as different collisions of mazes, and the
interweaving ideas of time and space. Greatly inspired both by Josef
Albers' color combination and compositions, I attempt to create prints,
not by making a finished plate, but rather by reprinting the same
image, thereby constructing a space or architecture, through layering.
Hence my work has evolved into a way of mapping, reminiscent of both man
made and natural structures, and once the individual abstracted forms
are layered, they start depicting intersecting space. Often, the
ambiguous scale in the works alludes to the reoccurring theme of
microscopic versus macroscopic imagery, which is prevalent in most of my
works." Originally from Munich, Germany, Melanie is currently enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design expecting to graduate June 2012 with a BFA in Printmaking.
