JACKSON — State Auditor Stacey Pickering was not asked Monday during an appearance at the Mississippi State Stennis Institute/capitol press corps luncheon about his future plans.
The monthly event brings together newsmakers, journalists, lobbyists and others to break bread. It has almost become a custom to ask the speaker about future political plans.
Pickering was not asked Monday. Maybe I should have asked, but I was waiting on someone else to pop the question.
At any rate, there is less speculation about whether the first-term Republican auditor will choose in 2011 to seek another office — such as lieutenant governor or governor.
But Pickering makes an attractive candidate. He is one of the better communicators on the Mississippi political scene and he has a firm grasp of issues.
Plus, he comes off as comfortable in his own skin. Sometimes, politicians do not.

Posted on 04/16/2013 7:37:21 AM PDT by Responsibility2nd
"I'm glad you raised that, because it gives me a chance to make a point I've felt strongly about," said Frank. "In this terrible situation, let's be very grateful that we had a well-funded, functioning government. It is very fashionable in America, and has been for some time to criticize government, belittle public employees, talk about their pensions, talk about what people think ... of [their] health care. Here we saw government in two ways perform very well. ... I never was as a member of Congress one of the cheerleaders for less government, lower taxes. No tax cut would have helped us deal with this or will help us recover. This is very expensive."
(Excerpt) Read more at weeklystandard.com ...
That POS was on the morning CNN show to discuss the Boston bombing. Nothing he said made any sense at all
Has it ever???
Nor does spending so much money on paying people not to work help us deal with this.
But I bet a huge tax increase would have...
These statists are sick in the head.
He's an example of a Marxist being averse to letting people decide things for themselves, like how to spend their own money.
What he REALLY said was:
"No Tath cut would hafth helped uth deal with thith."
Barney, there's a new disease out there awaiting you.
Your sick little brain has spawned an economic collapse in this nation and your gang of sycophants are attempting a second act.
Barney sez: "Youse peasants shut up and be HAPPY that your .giverment "servants" are only getting paid $30 bucks an hour to walk out to the mailbox twice a month when they're retired. And shut up about the gold-plated forever medical care..."
So tell me Barney, what does Harry Reid's beloved "cowboy poetry" lend to this situation?
If Barney's head was not permanently jammed up his rectum, he would know that LOWER tax rates generally yield HIGHER revenues to the US Treasury.
What malignant parasites these "people" are.
I thought we were rid of that lithping weirdo.
Not to mention porous borders and restrictions on legal gun ownership that would have Adolf, Vladimir and Mao smiling from their little sections of Hades.
And yes, my tagline is very appropriate in light of yesterday's
A remark like this form a man that cost this country billions of dollars.
He'll be with us always.
Never thay never.
Old fags never die - thye just fade away - or something like that.
I just have one question.
How did Barney Frank get so rich, working as a public servant?
And we are supposed to each 'chip in more' individually.
Hey, Frankie boy, leave the thinking to those of us with brains and go back to doing what you do best: speaaking in a wierd manner and bending over for your friends.
What a piece of excrement.
gun bans wouldn't have helped either, but that won't stop barney and his idiot friends(republican and democrat) from pushing them.
That would be the Government that's well funded enough to start a fight with the Governor of Arizona over her enforcing Federal Immigration Laws that Bawny's buddies won't enforce.
You do that a little too well ZULU. lol
Sadly, citizens of MASS vote for clowns like Barney Frank, then expect him to handle real-world issues like national security.
The result is, he bops his boyfriend and gives a lisping speech while moslems detonate bombs.
So says the corrupt faggot who shielded Fannie from investigation and was rewarded with a young piece of male ass.
In other words, this tragedy shows that we should not debate about whether there are too many government employees or whether some of their benefits are too lavish.
I'm amazed after Fannie & Freddie anyone gives a flip what Franks thinks
Barney "Bitch Tits" Frank.
We have got to stop electing idiots. Or, have we become the idiots and the elected are the bright ones?
Wasn't he recently treated for an impacted gerbil?
Frank and Dodd knew that that a collapse would happen in 2008. That is why they deliberately did nothing as chairmen of their respective committees. The plan was to blame it all on Bush. It worked. They retired.
If you tell me they are planning another round of crash and blame, well I believe it.
Sounds like he's just opened the door to the theory that Democrats upset about the sequester could be responsible.
not with advanced syphilis
STDs can do very bad things to your brain - Bawney shows all the signs.
But a "president" who spent a little time in the oval office with his sleeves rolled up once in a while might.
I've always thought swallowing millions of "little swimmers" was too risky. They could (and obviously did) swim to the brain and caused severe mental brain damage.
Only a committed leftest would consider a failure a success.
Thame on you, you awthful man you!!!!
Tar and Feathers would be the appropriate response to this vile little creature.
So far the only people to claim credit for the bombings have been Hoyer and Frank.
Thier calls for more taxes and a larger Fed are the motive.

This impassioned defense of the superiority of "quality" hedge funds versus "index idiocy" and "unacceptably risky" passive, "long-only" investing may be the first to accuse indexing pioneer and Vanguard Group founder Jack Bogle of being "too young and inexperienced."
From the post over at Hedge Fund blog:
The trouble with Jack Bogle is that he is too young and inexperienced. If he had been investing in the 1930s his love of long only would be gone. Keynes did well actively managing an absolute return fund in the depression. Is it prudent to passively hold value destroying corporations when you could be short selling or actively engaging them? Keynes said: "When somebody persuades me I am wrong, I change my mind. What do you do?" but Bogle says to buy and hold the constituents of an index no matter what. Dangerous "advice" that will cost investors dearly. The US market was lower in 1942 than it was in 1905. Could you wait that long? Huge opportunity cost. Some other indices went to zero as many will this century.
Successful investors like Warren Buffett "join" the pro-index brigade despite avoiding index funds themselves. This "Do as I say not as I do" is weird. Why does Warren have a quote on the book's cover supporting index funds when he manages a foreign exchange and commodities trading, arbitrage, event-driven, distressed securities, bid for Long-Term Capital Management, own a few core stocks, multistrategy hedge fund called Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA, BRKB) and has outperformed the S&P 500 (SPY) since the 1950s? In actions, not words, Buffett's performance is an argument AGAINST indexing and FOR absolute return strategies.

Oh, what a week of Emery High basketball as the boy's team ran all over the North Sanpete Hawks 61-35 on the road and then came home and defeated the Salem Hills Skyhawks 71-70 to lead region 8 with a 7-1 record and one week left of region play.
Emery entered the week's play tied with Salem Hills and Juan Diego for first place in the region but now lead the pack because of Emery's victory over the Skyhawks and Juan Diego's loss to the Carbon Dinos. Both Salem Hills and Juan Diego are now 6-2 for the season. In the final week, Emery will play Juan Diego Wednesday night and Juan Diego and Salem Hills will meet Friday night. Against the Skyhawks, with 4:21 to go in the first quarter, Emery was down 10-2 and things were not looking great for a win. Emery scored nine of the next 12 points to make it close before Salem scored the last five points of the quarter to lead 18-11 after one period.
After falling behind further in the second quarter and trailing 30-11, Emery went on a 17-2 run to trail at the half 32-28. Karson Jensen scored eight points on four baskets in that time frame. In the first half, Emery was five for 16 at the free throw line and missed the front end of a one and one three times.
Emery took their first lead since the opening basket at the end of the third quarter on a shot by Nevin Jensen as Emery won the period 23-18. Nevin and Karson each scored six points in the period and Jason Giles led the effort with seven points.
Emery scored the first five points of the last quarter in the first minute of play and with 5:03 to play, the Spartans led 62-53. With Spartan turnovers in the mix, the Skyhawks kept getting closer until they only trailed by one point. With a 71-70 score, Emery's Cameron Hansen was fouled with :04.8 seconds left in the game and went to the line to shoot two free throws. The free throws were missed but Hansen helped the cause by stealing the down court pass after the Salem rebound and the game was over and Emery won. Whew.
Nevin led the way with 18 points followed by Karson with 16 points. Jason scored 14 points with Colton Barnett also in double figures with 11 points. Cameron scored six points and Gatlan Huntington, Tanner Procarione and Brett Mecham each scored two points.
Earlier in the week at Mt. Pleasant, Emery scored the first seven points of the ball game enroute to a 12-6 first quarter lead. After getting ahead by a 19-11 score, Emery hit eight straight free throws led by Hansen's five for six to lead at the half 27-11. Emery's defense held the Hawks to only five second- quarter points. Nevin led the team with seven points in the period.
Emery came out slow in the third quarter and North Sanpete took the period 15-10 and trailed by only 11 points. After the Hawks scored the first basket of the fourth quarter to trail 37-28, Emery blitzed their opponent over the next five minutes with a 24-2 run and led 61-30 when Coach Jeffs pulled his starters.
Nevin again led the way with 17 points. Cameron added 13 points and Jason added 11 points. Colton scored eight points with Karson scoring four points. Gatlan and Tanner each scored two points and Taylor Tanner scored one point.
Emery was 17 for 20 at the free throw line in this game and then went 20 for 37 at home against Salem. After traveling to Juan Diego, Emery will close out region play with a home contest against Delta this Friday night.
A non-region contest against Union on Feb. 17 will round out the regular season. The first round of the state tournament games will be Feb. 20 for boys and Feb. 21 for girls at home sites for the first and second place teams and the third and fourth place teams in regions will travel.

New Directions in the Struggle for Social Justice in South Africa
Critical Conversation with Albie Sachs On turning six, during World War II, Albie Sachs received a card from his father expressing the wish that he would grow up to be soldier in the fight for liberation. He did.
Albie Sachs has for forty years symbolized conscience and courage in his nation's human-rights struggle. As a civil-rights attorney, international-law professor, and member of the African National Congress, Sachs fought against the injustice of apartheid and helped draft South Africa's post-apartheid Constitution.
Judge Sachs, a man of remarkable spirit and optimism, deeply embedded in the national project of democracy and healing, will reflect on new social justice movements and strategies in the contemporary moment in South Africa. In the two decades since South Africa emerged from apartheid, how have communities advocated for rights-basic services, protections and freedom of expression? What lessons can we draw upon, as we imagine new directions for local social justice struggles?
Sachs has authored numerous books on human rights, including his memoir The Strange Alchemy of Life and Law, The Soft Vengeance of a Freedom Fighter, Liberating the Law, Liberating the People, Sexism and the Law, Island in Chains, Jail Diary of Albie Sachs.
Born into a South African Jewish family of Lithuanian background, his career in human rights activism started at the age of 17, when as a second-year law student at the University of Cape Town, he took part in the Defiance of Unjust Laws Campaign. Three years later, in 1955, he attended the Congress of the People at Kliptown where the Freedom Charter was adopted. He started practice as an advocate at the Cape Town Bar at the age of 21, where he defended people charged under racial statutes and security laws under South African Apartheid. After being arrested and placed in solitary confinement for his work in the freedom movement, Albie Sachs went into exile in England and then Mozambique.
In 1988, in Maputo, Mozambique, he lost an arm and his sight in one eye when a bomb was placed in his car by South African security agents. After the bombing, he devoted himself to the preparations for a new democratic constitution for South Africa. He returned to South Africa and served as a member of the Constitutional Committee and the National Executive of the African National Congress and member of the Constitutional Committee and the National Executive of the African National Congress and was instrumental in the establishment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Appointed by Nelson Mandela in 1994 to the new Constitutional Court of South Africa, Justice Sachs gained international attention in 2005 as the author of the Court's holding in the case of Minister of Home Affairs v. Fourie, in which the Court overthrew South Africa's statute defining marriage to be between one man and one woman as a violation of the Constitution's general mandate for equal protection for all and its specific mandate against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
In addition to Sachs' work on the Constitutional Court, he has travelled to many countries sharing South African experience in healing divided societies. He has also been engaged in art and architecture, and played an active role in the development of the Constitutional Court building and its art collection on the site of the Old Fort Prison in Johannesburg.

Former Rutgers athletics director Tim Pernetti soon will take on an executive role with a New York-based Major League Soccer expansion team, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
The hire is expected to be officially announced next week. Bloomberg News, which first reported the news, says Pernetti will be named the franchise's chief business officer.
Pernetti resigned from his post at his alma mater in April in the wake of the Rutgers men's basketball scandal surrounding former coach Mike Rice's verbal and physical abuse of players, which was made public when ESPN aired video tapes of practice. The Bergen County resident's four-year tenure was highlighted by his role in helping Rutgers land a future spot in the prestigious and lucrative Big Ten Conference just as its old home, the former Big East, was crumbling.
Pernetti, whose gross pay in 2012 was $508,710 according to New Jersey Press Media's DataUniverse database, received a severance package worth at least $1.2 million from Rutgers.
The New York Yankees and the English Premier League's Manchester United teamed up in May to found the New York City Football Club. MLS's 20th franchise is supposed to begin play in 2015, though it does not yet have a home stadium.

Main draw appearance big step for Canada's Bansley and Maloney
SANYA, China – Canadian champions Heather Bansley and Liz Maloney of Toronto couldn't carry the momentum from a strong qualification round and drop their two main draw matches on Thursday at the second to last stop for the women on the FIVB beach volleyball World Tour circuit.
The Canadians, triple medallists this season on the NORCECA circuit, were seeded 18th for the main draw and lost their opening match 21-17, 22-24, 15-7 top to 15th seeds Daniela Gioria and Giulia Momoli of Italy. Then in a must-win repechage they were upset by Japanese pair Satoko Urata and Nishibori Takemi 21-19, 21-16.
Bansley and Maloney will rank 25th for the tournament that concludes this weekend, their second best result on the circuit this season.
In qualifying, Bansley and Maloney opened with an exciting three-set victory over a Russian pair then defeated a French team in straight sets to gain a spot in the main draw.
Kristina Valjas of Toronto and Kacie MacTavish of Sharon, Ont., (in photo)as well as Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Katherine Zakrzewski of Toronto both won their opening matches in qualifying before losing the second match.
Jamie Brodeur and Liz Cordonier of Vancouver lost a tight three-set battle in their opening qualifying match.

Suspicious Fire Damages Goodwill Store in Sunnyside
Fire investigators say a suspicious fire damaged portions of the Goodwill Store in Sunnyside early yesterday morning.
The fire, which started in a dumpster, quickly spread to the rear portion of the building and into an area where donated goods are processed.
The store, which is located on the 2800 block of East Lincoln Avenue, will be closed for the next four to five days to allow crews to clean up the mess.
The processing area, however, is expected to be closed for about a month.

The Nature and Purpose of Evidence Theory
Michael S. Pardo
University of Alabama School of Law
April 5, 2013
66 Vanderbilt Law Review 547 (2013)
U of Alabama Public Law Research Paper No. 2060340
The past few decades have seen an explosion in theoretical and empirical scholarship exploring the law of evidence. From a variety of disciplines and distinct methodological perspectives, this work has illuminated important issues regarding types of evidence, legal rules and doctrine, the reasoning processes of judges and juries, the structure of proof, and the normative considerations underlying these various issues. This Article takes up the theoretical project writ large. Exploring the landscape of evidence scholarship, the Article examines a number of methodological and metatheoretical questions: What would a successful evidentiary theory look like? By what criteria should we assess such a theory? What is the purpose of such theorizing? What is the relationship between the theoretical and empirical projects? In exploring these questions, the Article identifies criteria by which to evaluate theorizing in this area.
To that end, the Article first identifies two considerations that underlie any theoretical account of the evidentiary proof process and its components: factual accuracy and allocating the risk of erroneous decisions. Next, it articulates and defends general criteria by which to evaluate theoretical accounts in evidence scholarship in light of these considerations. Finally, it applies the general criteria to evaluate two theoretical accounts — a probabilistic conception and an explanatory conception — and concludes that the probabilistic conception fails and the explanatory conception succeeds in light of the theoretical criteria. Along with clarifying evidence theory, the Article also clarifies the relationship between theoretical and empirical scholarship in this area.

There are some elaborate computer programs to calculate bullet length to rifling twist, but there is a very simple method that works with a pocket calculator or even paper and pencil — The Greenhill Formula. The Greenhill formula for determining twist rates was the work of Sir Alfred George Greenhill, a mathematics professor at Cambridge University who later served as an instructor at the Woolrich Military Academy from 1876 to 1906. Greenhill discovered that the optimum twist rate for a bullet is determined by dividing 150 by the length of the bullet in calibers (100ths of an inch).
The number 150 is a good choice since it allows a useful margin in the calculations. Most twist rates that are close to the formulated ideal will usually work well. The beauty of this formula is that it works very well for lead or jacketed bullets. Weight does not appear to be a critical factor. Shape and design do not seem to have that much effect either up to velocities of 2200 fps and to a degree, above this. To compensate for increased rotational speed at velocities over 3000 fps some authorities recommend a slightly reduced twist rate. Although velocity does not appear to be considered within this formula, it is included in the rotation segment in a concealed form.
Assume a 1-12″ barrel firing a bullet at 1000 fps. This equals 1000 rotations per second. At 2000 fps the rotations per second double. Higher velocity yields a faster spin and is thus considered in the calculations, although it is not specifically mentioned. The most recent interpretations of Greenhill opt for a slightly faster twist with the higher velocity cartridges in the belief that erring on the side of over-stabilization is better than under-stabilization that may result in a tumbling bullet.
The popular 223 Remington is a good candidate for study. Rifles for this cartridge are currently available with the following twist rates — 1-7″, 1-8.5″, 1-9″, 1-10″, 1-12″ and 1-14″. To apply the Greenhill Formula using the original 55 grain bullet yields the following, for one brand of full metal jacket (FMJ) military type bullet measuring .647″ in length. The bullet diameter is .224″, which divided into the length of .647″ gives 2.89 calibers long. Dividing 2.89 into 150 yields a figure of 51.90 or an ideal twist rate of one turn in 51.90 calibers. Multiply 51.90 by the bullet diameter (.224″) equals one turn in 11.63″ for this particular bullet.
The original twist for the 223 caliber M-16 rifle is 1-12″. In its wisdom (?) the Army decided a heavier (longer) bullet was necessary and the M-16A1 is bored with a 1-10″ twist. The new military bullet will not stabilize in the 1-12″ barrels. Bullets as heavy as 70 grains are available for the .223 Remington. For a 70 grain bullet measuring .785″ in length, .785 ÷ .224 = 3.50. 150 ÷ 3.50 = 42.86 or one turn in 42.86 calibers. 42.86 X .224 (i.e., the bullet caliber) = 9.60.
Thus a twist of 1-9″ or 1-10″ is required to shoot this bullet accurately, while a 1-12″ will not stabilize it and as for a 1-14″, forget it. There are other factors involved, such as the amount of bearing surface on the bullet, velocity and barrel length. In some cases bullets that are not well matched to twist rate can be made to function. For example, a short, 40 or 45 grain bullet, in a 223 with a fast twist of 1-9″ or 1-10″, will perform, if the powder charge is cut back. By decreasing the velocity, you can keep the bullet from tearing itself apart. This might be called a limited success, since in the manner of the .22 Short in the 22 Long Rifle barrel, accuracy will likely suffer.
Applying the Greenhill formula can save time and money not spent on ammunition that won't shoot well. It can serve as a useful guide when it comes to buying a gun or having one custom barreled if you know in advance what kind of shooting you will be doing and thus what kind of bullets you will use.

Did You Know? Countdown to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (01/07)Friday, January 7th, 2011
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
about Martin Luther King &
the Civil Rights Movement
Jan. 07 : 10 Days to MLK Day
Did you know that in 1946 President Harry S. Truman created the President's Committee on Civil Rights?
This was the first time the federal government had acknowledged racial discrimination as a national problem. In that same year, the U.S. Supreme Court banned racial discrimination on interstate buses.
Did you know that the first Freedom Ride took place in 1947?
Organized by CORE, the Congress of Racial Equality, Freedom Riders were black passengers traveling on buses throughout the South as a test of the Supreme Court decision banning segregation on interstate travel. Also in 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first black major league athlete when he was hired by the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team.
Each year on the third Monday of January schools, federal offices, post office and banks across America close as we celebrate the birth, the life and the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
It is a time for the nation to remember the injustices that Dr. King fought. A time to remember his fight for the freedom, equality, and dignity of all races and peoples. A time to remember the message of change through nonviolence.
Join us for our look at the past 60 years of the civil rights movement and our countdown to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Monday January 17, 2011.

Norway to Reboot Fire With 12-Hour Prime-Time Special of Burning Fireplace
Norwegian public broadcasters will be rebooting the venerable entertainment property "staring at a fire" in a 12-hour prime-time television broadcast of a burning fireplace, featuring "Norway's biggest firewood celebrity" and other experts providing advice, color commentary, and, one hopes, some play-by-play action.
"We'll talk about the very nerdy subjects like burning, slicing and stacking the wood, but we'll also have cultural segments with music and poems," Rune Moeklebust, a producer for state broadcaster NRK.
"It will be very slow but noble television."
Moeklebust was inspired by Lars Mytting's book about firewood Hel Ved, and Mytting—in the words of Reuters, "Norway's biggest firewood celebrity"—will be a guest on the show. The special follows in the footsteps of other, actual Norwegian public television specials like "134 hours non-stop of a cruise ship going up the Norwegian coast to the Arctic" (which 3.2 million people watched in total) and "an eight hour train journey from Oslo to Bergen," which was later repeated.
Staring at fire was originally developed as an entertainment property by cavemen, and had an impressive, multi-millennia run as the number-one method of entertainment during primetime hours across several demographics before being superseded by television. Advertisers and media buyers should take note of fire's ubiquity, high Q score, and sexy sense of danger when considering how to best take advantage of increasingly popular Scandinavian television shows.

Two Canadian teams advance to main draw at final stop on world beach volleyball circuit
PHUKET, Thailand – Elizabeth Maloney and Heather Bansley of Toronto as well as Liz Cordonier of Vancouver and Jamie Broder of Victoria advance to the main draw on Wednesday at the final stop on the beach volleyball World Tour circuit.
Maloney and Bansley reached the main draw for the third time this season on the circuit. They defeated Changning Zhang and Fan Wang of China 21-16, 21-14 then completed the qualifying round beating Yarleen Santiago and Dariam Acavedo of Puerto Rico 21-17, 21-13.
The Puerto Ricans were the hottest team on the North and Central American circuit this year with five gold and nine medals overall.
"This is a nice way to start the last event of the season and head into 2011 Olympic qualifications," said Maloney.
Cordonier and Broder, reached their first ever main draw on the circuit with victories over Karolina Sowala and Monika Brzostek of Poland 21-10, 21-11 and Shinakoa Tanaka and Sayaka Mizoe of Japan 27-25, 23-21.
Last season, Cordonier was named the top female athlete in Canadian university sport leading the UBC Thunderbirds to the national women's indoor volleyball title.
Canada's other two entries were eliminated. Kristina Valjas of Toronto and Kacie MacTavish of Sharon, Ont., were 1-1 in qualifying as were Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Katherine Zakrzewski of Toronto.Main draw action starts Thursday.

Review: Early Bird dares to be different
It's hard to make out exactly what I'm eating. I know the dish in front of me is supposed to be octopus, but the presentation is unfamiliar, a colorful Rorschach test of lumps, wisps and splashes. I jab my fork into the puzzle and bring a jumble of pieces to my mouth. It takes a moment for everything to register, but even then I'm not quite sure what's rolling around on my tongue. I reach for another bite and focus. There's a faint, vinegary brightness playing against something else that's rich and creamy, a splash of brine. It has the familiar chew of octopus, but it feels like a salad. Before I can put my finger on precisely what I'm eating, I find myself cheating and reaching for the menu. Ah, yes, that's it: "grilled octopus, white anchovy salsa, romaine, potato, egg yolk."
These are not ingredients anyone has tried putting together before. Truth be told, that's probably one ingredient too many. But somehow I love it. Not everyone at my table is as easily swayed, however. For the moment, at least. "I don't get it," says one. "There's a lot going on here," says another.
I can't argue with either of their sentiments. And that's what I find so exciting about chef Frank DeLoach's dinner menu at Early Bird. Not everybody will get it. Not everybody will like it. But I'm pretty sure that no one will fail to have an opinion about it. And they will probably be talking about their dinner for days. "Remember that weird octopus we had the other night," asks my dining companion several days later. "Yes, why?" I ask. "The more I think about it," she says, "the more I think I liked it."
But now that I've got everyone worked up over the octopus, forget about it. It's already gone. The menu changes daily. The chef moves swiftly from one idea to the next. Also gone is a slow-braised lamb neck, a thick nub of meat cooked to the texture and tenderness of short rib but with a unique gaminess that makes me think of goat rather than lamb. The meat was dark, almost black, mounded into a ball and plunked into a thick smear of pureed banana, the whole of which was drizzled with some sort of chili oil.
DeLoach is fearless in the kitchen, something I greatly admire. He's not boxed in by the latest trends or sure-fire best-sellers. He draws inspiration from just about everywhere and lets his imagination run wild. Sometimes it gets away from him, like the time he decides it's a good idea to take veal sweetbreads (the thymus gland, a gourmet delicacy) and coat them with bright orange Buffalo wing sauce. He sautés the offal rather expertly, but then he drizzles ranch dressing over the top. That's when I balk. What could have been a glamorous dish is instantly transformed into stoner food.
And this isn't the only time I've encountered ranch dressing. On another occasion, DeLoach serves a crostini made with wonderful OC Baking Company bread, which he's toasted and slathered with pungent chicken-liver mousse and fried chorizo. The crostini on its own would be too rich, too decadent, too liverishly metallic. But drench it with ranch dressing, and somehow, in this instance, it all makes sense.
The poutine is equally stonerlicious. It's a heaping haystack of french fries smothered in a Frisbee-sized slab of braised beef cheek with cheddar cheese melting over the top, and a fried egg piled on for good measure.
Salt cod is something that generally calls for restraint and simplicity. But not here. The chef takes the reconstituted fish and spreads a thick layer onto the plate, which he then conceals beneath a mound of fresh herbs and slivered red onion along with fried peanuts and crunchy, delicious, gum-ball-size nuggets of deep-fried sticky rice.
Dining here is never boring. Beneath all this chaos, there are occasional glimpses of restraint. Salt and pepper prawns are genuinely simple and authentically Asian. Green tomatoes are classically battered and fried, paired with meltingly soft burrata cheese and candied Fresno chili. Summer's ripest peaches are elegantly paired with chilled beets, seasonal opposites harmoniously bonded with a highly aromatic North African spice blend, fresh mint and feta cheese.
Some of my favorite dishes on each visit have been the vegetables. Several types of squash come together in various shapes and textures with ricotta dumplings and za'atar. And I've enjoyed "street-style" Mexican corn here that is far better than anything that's ever come from a street vendor. Not to insult any street vendors. It is what it is. This is simply some of the best corn you will ever eat, heavily slathered with citrusy mayonnaise and drizzled with a sticky, sweet-spicy ancho chili glaze, then dusted with pulverized Parmesan cheese.
When I see a rib eye steak on the menu for merely $24, I don't have high expectations. But when it arrives, the waitress lowers her voice and reveals, "It's been resting in duck fat." That's a novel idea, for sure. It gives the otherwise mediocre, too-thin piece of beef a much needed flavor boost. But the pickled onion rings that come with it? They're just strange.
Few young chefs these days are as fearless and gutsy as DeLoach. When a chef takes as many chances as he does, they're not always going to nail it. What bothers me more is how the kitchen requires everything to be ordered at once – and then everything arrives at once. There's just never enough time between the arrivals of all the dishes. Something inevitably gets cold before anyone has a chance to taste it. Yes, I get it. The kitchen is small. But pacing is a problem.
Early Bird hasn't always served dinner. As the name aptly suggests, this little cafe began as a breakfast place, serving fairly basic chef-driven eggs and sandwiches – gigantic portions of chilaquiles with first-rate carnitas, duck confit hash with sunny side up eggs, and fabulously gooey grilled cheese. Every weekend morning, there's a line out the door. The lines haven't yet materialized for dinner, which began only a couple months ago.
One reason might be the ambience. Early Bird has the sparsely decorated, brightly lit aesthetic of a strip-mall fast food joint, which works for breakfast and lunch. But it's a backdrop that doesn't translate well to dinnertime. This could easily be corrected with the installation of a dimmer switch and maybe a few candles, or perhaps some butcher paper on the tables to soften things up. Until then, however, the restaurant at night feels somewhat cold and ruthlessly unromantic, so adjust your expectations accordingly – and prepare to have some fun.

Scarlets and Munster played out a cracking 20-all draw as the hosts lost valuable ground on the top four in the RaboDirect PRO12.
Scarlets and Munster played out a cracking 20-all draw in Llanelli on Saturday as the hosts lost valuable ground on the top four in the RaboDirect PRO12.
Nigel Davies' men needed a penalty inside the final ten minutes from fly-half Rhys Priestland to secure the draw after the two teams had matched each other blow for blow.
The hosts looked in trouble in the 55th minute when an Ian Keatley penalty extended Munster's lead to ten points.
However, a try from flank Aaron Shingler and five points from the boot of Priestland ensured that honours ended even.
Neither team headed into this evening's game in decent form, although both had recorded wins a week earlier.
The first points of the match came during a frantic opening 15-minute period and the lion's share were scored by Munster.
Scarlets were the first off the mark, courtesy of a Sean Lamont try, but the visitors roared back and established a seven-point lead thanks to scores from Donnacha Ryan and Simon Zebo.
Munster then went further in front when Keatley booted over a penalty, although the hosts were able to reduce the deficit thanks to a three pointer from Priestland.
The two penalties seemed to slow the pace of the game following a quickfire start and there were to be no further points before half-time.
The beginning of the second half did not bring with it the avalanche of points we'd seen in the first half, but a Keatley penalty on 55 minutes gave Munster a ten-point cushion.
That score left Scarlets with a mountain to climb, but they were able to regroup and force their way back into the contest in the final quarter.
Just after the hour, Shingler crossed for Scarlets' second try of the evening to take the home side to within three points of Munster.
And the scores were level as the game headed into the final ten minutes thanks to Priestland's second penalty of the match.
Both sides searched desperately in the closing stages for the points that would win them the match, but defences held firm, ensuring that the spoils were shared.
The scorers:

Cons: Priestland 2

Ancient sites like this amphitheater meet modern luxury in Antalya, Turkey, where hotel prices have dropped nearly 25 percent since last year.
Antalya's harbor and old city have drawn visitors from Eastern Europe for years. Now, Americans are discovering resorts with rates as low as $100 per night.
Prime time to visit Antalya is September through October, or May through June, when the temperatures are mild.
The iconic Toronto skyline announces that this cultural capital of Canada is ready for its closeup; but unlike most of the world, hotel prices here did not rise in 2012.
Yonge-Dundas Square is a favorite come-together spot in Toronto's shopping district, walking distance from the Theater District and many of the city's universities.
Toronto remains a pedestrian-and public-transportation-friendly place, making a rental car unnecessary.
Ko Phi Phi, near Phuket in Thailand, is a paradise you can afford, with hotel rates having dropped 27 percent this year.
March and April are the best times to beat the crowds to Ko Phi Phi's turqoise waters.
After rebuilding in the wake of the 2004 tsunami, Ko Phi Phi is well on its way to becoming a luxury tourist spot—but for now it remains a bargain for smart travelers.
The Bahamas are an annual fixture on affordable-travel lists for good reason. This year saw a 4 percent drop in airfares here.
Whether you choose a big resort such as Atlantis or something more modest, the Bahamas' prime visiting season is late fall, winter, and early spring.
Nassau is the Bahamas' major port, where you'll find chic shopping destinations and great food.
Nashville, TN, home of the Grand Ole Opry, is going heavier on the "grand" these days, but with more than 1,000 new hotel rooms under construction, rates are expected to fall here.
Nashville is not just Music City, but it's also home to a thriving museum scene.
Nashville's natural beauty, including two lakes within the city, is one of its many charms. High season is in June, when the city plays host to the CMA Music Festival.
With serious Old World cred, including some of the most beautiful castles on earth, France's Loire Valley is surprisingly affordable, with the average hotel price dropping 19 percent this year.
The Villandry Chateau near the town of Tours in the Loire Valley, is one of the many sites that have earned the region status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
July and August are the hottest months in the Loire Valley, so visit in spring or fall—temperatures stay comfortably warm through September.
Boracay, in the Philippines, is a see-it-before-it's-packed destination. That says a lot about its beauty, considering that no tourist set foot here before the 1970s.
Boracay's D'Mall is a bustling center for shoppers amid the swimming, sunbathing, and windsurfing scenes.
The white sand beaches of Boracay are just an hour's flight from Manila.
Palm Springs, CA, is home to stylish hotels such as the Del Marcos. But this always-popular Southern California oasis is not out of reach: Airfares here fell 6 percent this year.
Winter and early spring are the best times to visit Palm Springs, when mild temperatures make outdoor dining, such as at Los Arboles, popular.
Known for its towering palms and countless swimming pools, Palm Springs will now be reachable via nonstop flights from New York starting in December.
While religious and political strife once characterized Northern Ireland, the region is now at peace and is attracting visitors with both its ancient architecture and contemporary music scene.
Derry/Londonderry became the United Kingdom's first City of Culture in 2013, beating out competitors such as Birmingham and Sheffield.
Kosice, in east Slovakia, is a 2013 European Capital of Culture.
While Slovakia boasts many historical and architectural sites, in 2013 the emphasis will be on the future, with contemporary art, theater, and dance on display.
Capital of Culture events are scheduled through 2013, making any month, including December with its holiday decorations, a good time to visit Slovakia.

Bulldogs win division tilt against Pontotoc
New Albany improved to 3-0 in division play behind the complete-game performance of Tyler Beaty, Tuesday night against Pontotoc.
The senior allowed three runs off five hits, but for the third game in a row, the Bulldogs hit in double digits, leading to the 4-3 win.
"The thing about Beaty is that even when he's not at his best, he's still pretty good. Tonight, he was just pretty good, he wasn't the tip-top Tyler Beaty, and we need him to get to that," Bulldogs' head coach John Walker said. "He just wasn't sharp, and his pitch count is getting up there because he's throwing too many balls, and he just needs to get back focused and back to being Tyler Beaty. He's a little under the weather, but he's battled through that and got us the win."
Pontotoc struck first, scoring one run off a walk after loading the bases in the first inning. After that run, Beaty allowed only one hit until the sixth inning.
New Albany tied the game in the bottom half of the first off a single by Beaty and later took the lead in a three-hit fourth inning, where Joshua Googe plated J.D. Morris with his single. Morris finished the game 2-for-3, bringing much needed production to the bottom half of the 'Dawgs' batting order.
"J.D.'s been a pleasant surprise," Walker said. "He's a guy that got out with us late this year and worked his way into the starting lineup and has performed. Tonight, he had two very good, two strike hits and that's what we need from guys hitting in that part of the order."
The Warriors tied the game in the sixth after Kyle Russell hit a double and was brought home on a single by Landon Tutor. Again, New Albany answered after Morris hit a lead off single and Andrew Ballard reached first off an error. Morris scored on a wild pitch and Drew Wray scored Ballard, giving New Albany the two-run advantage heading into the final inning.
Brock Tutor brought in Pontotoc's final run with his solo shot to open the seventh inning.
Russell finished with two hits for Pontotoc. Taylor Goode had three hits and Riley Alef had two for the Bulldogs, who finished with 11 hits as a team to accompany the 17 they had against Itawamba and 13 against Kossuth.
"We're swinging the bats better, and that was evident tonight," Walker said. "Taylor's been like this the last three or four games, and he's starting to figure out what it takes to be a good hitter. Riley's going to be consistent, that's why he's in that part of the line-up for us. I feel confident he's going to remain consistent."
Working on the little mistakes, executing what they learn in practice, is something Walker hopes will improve the further his team plays in division.
"We're struggling to execute the things that we've practiced over and over, and when we get to the game, we're just not executing," Walker said. "That's frustrating as a coach, and what that is is poor coaching. If I can't teach them to make it second nature and teach them that execution is essential, then that's my fault and I take full responsibility. We've got to get better at it."
Now at 12-4 (3-0), New Albany will next play against the same Pontotoc squad on the road this Friday before back-to-back division games against Shannon next week.

On Sept. 29, the Castleland RC&D Council, Price River Conservation District, and the San Rafael Conservation District partnered together with the State Engineer's office to sponsor a water rights workshop. Input from farmers and other water users in the area was provided to the state engineer in preparation for the workshop.
Assistant SE Regional Engineer, David Horsley made a presentation regarding water rights basics. He included the major elements of a water right: priority date, quantity of water, nature of use, source of supply, points of diversion, period of use, and place of use.
Marc Stilson, SE Regional Engineer provided the group information on recent policy changes and the following legislation that affected water rights. HB 51-protecting certain entities from forfeiture of water rights. HB 208 and 256-regarding livestock water rights on public land. HB 18-authorizes the extension of time on a water right application. HB 241-clarifying the priority of water rights. HB 389-regarding applications for small amounts of water.
Matt Lindon, Assistant State Engineer-Technical services and Jana Mohrman, US Fish and Wildlife Service, combined on a presentation regarding the current policy and management of the Green River for endangered fish species. Minimum flows have been established for the river to protect and enhance fish habitat.
The newly appointed State Engineer, Kent Jones was introduced and he presented information on the Colorado river policy. He pointed out that the upper Colorado river basin is over-appropriated, however there is currently 360,000 acre feet that is unused.
Boyd Clayton, deputy state engineer made a presentation on fixed time water right applications. The state engineer's office will not put a "due date" on fixed time applications.
Fifty-one people attended the workshop. Two similar meetings were held in Green River and Moab.

Days after AT&T revealed its plan to allow rabid gadget fans to quickly upgrade to the latest smartphones, rival wireless carrier Verizon is following with its own option.
The company confirmed the arrival of Verizon Edge, a new program for consumers who want the flexibility of upgrading their devices more frequently than every two years.
Consumers pay for the full price of the phone, in 24 monthly installments. After six months, they can choose to upgrade to a new device as long as they pay for 50% of the full price of the smartphone.
Customers on Verizon's Share Everything plans can start using Edge on August 25.
Verizon's Edge follows T-Mobile's Jump and AT&T Next in providing users with the option to upgrade sooner than the traditional two-year contract allows. Each has varying stipulations, such as a down payment on a device from T-Mobile or the option to buy a tablet on AT&T Next.
But they do share one common trend: any customer who uses this option will likely spend a lot more money, as we outlined on Wednesday.
Let's look at what happens when you purchase an iPhone 5 under Edge. A 16-GB iPhone 5 sells for $650 on the Verizon Wireless website. Divide that over 24 months, and you have a monthly payment of roughly $27.08, not counting your plan or potential fees.
After six months, a consumer will have spent $162.48 on their iPhone 5 under the Edge plan. So, what happens if you want to upgrade? The consumer must have paid $325 toward the cost of the phone in order to upgrade, which means they would pay roughly $162 to hand Verizon your iPhone 5 and start over with a new device. A consumer would have to make 12 payments in order to hit the 50% mark and upgrade without forking over cash up front.
Readers, what's your take on these early upgrade plans?

Sooooo Warm :)
"I bought these boots to prepare for this winter. I love how insulated they are my feet stay warm no matter what so far. I wear a size 6, and it is just a little tight on my right foot, but I'm sure once I break them in they feel like that anymore. Other than that, I really love the shoe, because it meets all my expectations!"

They are fine
"I love the color, they are very comfy and soft but they run very small. I wear 6.5 but since I was going to wear them with thick socks ordered a 7. They are a little wide. I ended up returning them and re ordering but in size 7.5 which is a little loose but I will be walking a lot so they are fine"

******Best Boots EVER!******
"Never had boots that kept my feet warm; not even battery powered ones. I absolutely love/recommend these omni-heat boots. I suffer hypothyroidism. Feet are always cold; not with these boots. Feet were toasty all day. Minnesota winters are extremely cold but, no problem keeping my feet warm in these boots. Daily activities, or, riding the snowmobile, my feet were always warm..Omni-heat is the best yet!"

Super Comfy
"Boots usually hurt my feet but these were awesome. I wear them with jeans, skirts, and casual dresses. They will only last one season because the heels are rubbery and not hard material. I still wear them though and I think the softer heel is what made them comfy. DSW, please order more of these!"

The Canucks don't use our scoring chance numbers
Cam Charron
March 06 2012 01:59PM
Every now and then at Canucks Army, we get big heads. It started when Alain Vigneault began to use Alex Edler more regularly as one of his first two shooters in the shootout, much like I suggested in this post last month. 'Maybe,' we thought, 'one of hockey's smartest organizations every now and then uses data provided for free by a few dapper kids running a website,' which doesn't seem too ridiculous to me, especially with our vast experience working in the hockey industry.
Because that would have been pretty cool. And while the Vancouver Canucks may, in fact, solicit shootout advice from this humble blog, I don't think that they really care much for the scoring chances that we count each and every game. Our friends over at Pass it to Bulis had the scoop on this one.
Anyway, Alain Vigneault said this:
Chris, in the last couple of games, when we analyse the game and do the scoring chances, he's been a plus-5 in the last two. He hasn't found the back of the net, but he's been part of a lot of offensive scoring chances and they've been real responsible defensively, so I like the way that looks.
And then my friend Daniel Wagner wrote this in response:
Our friends over at Canucks Army, Cam Charron and Thomas Drance, diligently record scoring chance data for every single Canucks game. It's a thankless task that we at PITB will never, ever do, so we are very grateful for their dedication. Whoops, I guess it's not a thankless task any more.
In any case, Vigneault's numbers for Chris Higgins do not come even close to lining up with the scoring chance numbers at Canucks Army for the last two games against the Sabres and Blues. Cam tallied the scoring chances for both those games. Against the Sabres, Higgins was on the ice for 2 scoring chances for and 1 against at even-strength, as well as 1 scoring chance for the Canucks on the powerplay, putting him at a plus-2 total. Against the Blues, he wasn't quite as good, being on the ice for 2 scoring chances for and 2 against, making him even on the night.
Our other friend (you make a lot of friends in the Canucks blogosphere) Justin Morrissette has noted in the past that the Canucks do record their own scoring chance totals, and they seem to deviate from the rules set forth for the scoring chance project, outlined here at Copper n Blue.
There's a roughly defined area that's generally given a bit of leniency, that involves a diagonal from the goal-mouth to the circles, vertical up the ice to the top of the circle. Actually, I really like this "scoring area" ever since I snuck a peek at the clipboards provided to a healthy scratch of the Vancouver Giants who was charting scoring chances for legendary coach Don Hay, who uses the same rink layout that we tend to for tracking quality shots.
Obviously, however, the Canucks have a broader definition for scoring chances. If Higgins was a +5, well, he was only a +5 Fenwick and a +6 Corsi overall in those games (you can find the numbers here and here) so this could mean an expanded scoring area, or where they, unlike us, count plays that don't result in shots at the net (which would explain Mason Raymond's continued ice-time).
I would really like to know the criteria the Canucks use for scoring chances, and unfortunately in working for this humble blog - I do not have the access to Alain Vigneault or his coaching staff, or their spreadsheets. As best we can tell, however, they don't lift the totals that we count and use them for their own player evaluations.
Darn it all.
My first thought is that maybe the '+' aspect involves more than just generating chances, but preventing them as well. Ie. adding to a player's "score" when they prevent a chance, providing a '+' weight to certain defensive plays. But then I guess minuses would have to come from the same mysterious non-events.
If you are tracking scoring chances for sake of offensive strength or defensive weakness than it makes sense to count missed shots the idea if a great play is made to set up a two on one and the puck bounces (bad luck) and the player shoots wide is still a chance created and mistake made If you dont then you are reinforcing the luck factor

Skip to comments.Robert Griffin III has partial tears of ACL and LCL, MRI suggests
Posted on 01/07/2013 3:13:08 PM PST by MinorityRepublican
The MRI exam of Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin IIIs right knee suggested that Griffin has suffered partial tears of his anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments, according to several people with knowledge of the test results.
Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan said Griffin is scheduled to be examined Tuesday in Pensacola, Fla., by orthopedic surgeon James Andrews to determine whether the test results show new or previous injuries.
It was not immediately clear whether surgery would be required or how long Griffin would be sidelined if the partial ligament tears are determined to be fresh injuries. Griffin suffered a torn ACL in the same knee in 2009 while he was in college at Baylor, and has been playing in recent weeks with a mild sprain of the LCL.
One person with knowledge of the situation said Griffin might have to undergo exploratory surgery to determine the extent of the damage and whether the injuries are new. Another said Griffin hopes to avoid full-blown reconstructive surgery if the tears are partial, even if they are new injuries.
A third person familiar with the case, asked whether the ligament damage is new or a matter of previous injuries showing up on Griffins MRI, said: Thats what were trying to find out.It was not immediately clear whether surgery would be required or how long Griffin would be sidelined if the partial ligament tears are determined to be fresh injuries. Griffin suffered a torn ACL in the same knee in 2009 while he was in college at Baylor, and has been playing in recent weeks with a mild sprain of the LCL.
One person with knowledge of the situation said Griffin might have to undergo exploratory surgery to determine the extent of the damage and whether the injuries are new.

Many will blame the coach, team doctor and RG 3 himself.
Partial blame also goes to the NFL and the groundskeeper. That field was attrocious.
Seattle came out with some knee and ankle dings too.
Sure could have been much worse.
It the Redskins continue to run this type of offense with RG3,
he will have a short NFL career.
They need some receivers, but they do have a good running back.
I saw the initial injury and I blame RGIII. He exposes his body to hits way too often and should have given himself up before that hit. I understand this point has been made to him many times. If he doesn't cool it, he'll have a very short career.
Concerns about the field were raised last year when Adrian Peterson blew out his ACL on it. Before the game the announcers said this and mentioned that if it were not for paint the field would have been the color of dirt. No excuse for a NFL team to have to endure that type of field.
My wife and I thought there was something strange about the field. It looked like it wasn't attached to the soil or something. Pieces were flying off with each player's step.
That field was attrocious.
A colleague at work who played a lot of college football said the same thing.
Yike. I can feel mine all over again and that was 35 years ago!
Played on many fields like that (all sand or less) in junior high and high school (late 60's) so FedEx was all too reminiscsant.
But the difference between what I saw yesterday (affecting both teams) was - I was a 16 year old kid and did not have my career and livelihood dependant on such a POS field.
Yeah, Adrian Peterson's career is over, after he had the same injury last year.
But wasn't that the doctor or trainer that took RG III into that little shed on the sidelines? What goes on in there?
Tough thing to watch. Football tears a body up. I still have an angry hip from HS football.
Robert is a superb athlete and is a fine young man. Likely will recover, but he won't ever be what he was.
Here's long bet. Will RGIII or Kirk Cousins have the best career? Think I'd have to bet on Cousins right now. Running QB's get broken in the NFL.
"if RGIII was a white quarterback do ya think the white coach woulda left him in da game??? but since he's a cornroll brother i don't much care!"... Al Sharpton/PMSNBC
It looked like they were playing on painted decomposed granit.
(Love your tagline!)
EYEP...sometimes I gotta turn my head because I don't want to be reminded...*lol*...my right leg got hyper extended once when I tried to slide into home plate but a catcher that weigh about 350 lbs decided I wasn't gonna do it....he was right.
What goes on in there? Good question! I've suspected that's where they they administer the injections. :-)) A less cynical view is that they don't want the other team and media to see what part of the body they are working on.
This is also a good reminder of why, despite his obvious will to work and succeed, coaches don't want Tebow as a starting quarterback. He is a scrambler just like RG3, and would end up the same way eventually if he can't convert to a normal pocket passer.
ouch, ouch and OUCH!
He shouldn't have been played...knees do take a beating, but if they're injured they are NEVER the same.
I speak from experience: torn ACL (left knee), tibial plateau fracture (right knee), tendonitis in both knees. (no, not an athlete, just ran on hard runways too darn long! plus some leisure sports injuries playing soccer and volleyball)
My knees tell me every morning that I am nearing 60! :)
Exactly what I told my wife. The good doctor should be canned along with the coach and the groundskeeper. It was pretty clear RGIII wasn't going to perform after the first quarter - yank him and send in the backup with a 14 point lead, not a 10 point deficit. That said, I'm from Seattle - go Seahawks! The Falcons will have to play their best to beat them...
It was crap...even the bozo announcers commented on how crappy it was....
I totally agree and was screaming at the TV the whole second half...
That said, Pete Carroll is a disgrace to football the way he skipped out on SC, leaving scandal.
And I'm a UCLA grad......
And he's a major Obambot......
That's correct. Terrell Davis blew out his knee 15 years ago, his career was over. Adrian Peterson? Same thing happen a year or two ago. Now? As good as new!
His stats indicate better than new.
At Dolphin's stadium they'll lay down huge rolls of sod before big games like the Super Bowl or the BCS. They are so large that they stay put. It's not the little squares that regular people get. If that isn't good enough there's some nice synthetic turf these days. Both options are cheaper than losing a star player.
Anyone remember that NFL exhibition game years ago in Mexico city at that stadium that holds like 200K fans? Might have been a bullfighting arena. I just remember that the turf was so loose it looked like a cow pasture by the end of the first quarter.

That's a real shame. The place looks awesome enough. The video is cool too. Like you said, as soon as I saw the rolling pin I thought wtf? Does the place do good business? Have there been any reviews of it in the local paper? What did that guy spend on the restaurant? It is impressive.

Great shoes
"I typically get Pumas when I'm looking for a fashionable casual shoe, but found these and they are GREAT. VERY comfortable and I love the look. I wear these all over the place just hanging out or when I got out on the town. Would definitely buy another pair from Lacoste"
