We came here for a late dinner close to when they were closing right after enjoying the amazing Menemsha sunset. It was Labor Day weekend so it was busy and lots of people in line. Another spot in MV that closes earlier than you would expect. We were disappointed in the number of good restaurants in Menemsha, especially those that...
Grabbed a quick bite here on a sunny fall afternoon. It was one of the few places open not in the main ports. The ambience was charming and the food was excellent!
Absolutely best New England clam chowder we've ever had --no holds barred! We had lobster rolls, New England clam chowder, crab cakes, fresh tuna salad sandwiches and swordfish sandwiches and loved every bite! A great view from the porch , reasonably priced, generous portions. You won't find this place on a map, but look for it-- all he locals head...
This place came highly recommended from friends who are frequent MV visitors and I can see why. The menu is filled with interesting, reasonably priced sandwiches - we enjoyed t he swordfish with pesto and the tuna was excellent too. We arrived early enough for lunch to get a great seat on the deck overlooking the boats, I'd love to...
Our whole family loves the Galley! Reasonable prices, tasty food, salads, sandwiches, seafood, dinners, ice cream, all the good fixin's for an easy family meal out and about. Plus, you can take it all back home, to the beach, to the water side rocks, or to their back porch with views of Menemsha boats. Every trip to Menemsha should include...
Went to see the sunset at the State park...this gem is within walking distance. Great food, friendly staff! Enjoyed the variety of food, especially the Quinoa Veggie Burgers. Grandson loved the Chicken fingers. Must try the white bean artichoke sandwich..we went back for seconds!!!! Very reasonably priced!!
We come here all the time - sometimes for ice cream and this week for lunch - the food is always fresh cooked and delicious / if you eat on the porch, the view can't be beat. If you take out it is just as wonderful.
Beautiful view of canal, boats and cottages from back porch eating area. No liquor. Very casual. Lobster roll, chowder, etc. Were all tasty.
I was only on the island for 3 days and ate there twice! Best eggplant sandwich EVER! (On gluten free bread!) I will return to the island and Menemsha Galley again and again.

The fourth of Joan Crawford's Warner Bros. vehicles, Flamingo Road doesn't hold up as well as her earlier Mildred Pierce or Humoresque, but there's plenty to please the eye and ear. Sideshow kootch-dancer Lane Bellamy (Crawford), stranded in a backwater town, gets a job as a waitress. Lane begins falling in love with Fielding Carlisle (Zachary Scott), the political protégé of the town's big-daddy sheriff Titus Semple (Sidney Greenstreet). Semple regards Lane as a gold-digging troublemaker, and does his best to break up the romance, framing her on a trumped-up morals charges and having her shipped off to prison. Once out of the "joint," Lane returns to town, seeking revenge against both Semple and Carlisle. She charms political hack Dan Reynolds (David Brian) into marriage, then transforms Reynolds into a "reform candidate" bent on destroying the corrupt Semple machine. Faced with political ruin, Lane's ex-beau Carlisle commits suicide, a fact that Semple uses as a weapon against Reynolds. A showdown is inevitable--but the story is far from over! Flamingo Road later served as the basis for a weekly TV series; both the film and the series were based on a play by Robert and Sally Wilder. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Comment Re:Won't be allowed in America (Score 1) 115
Japan does not have the same cultural baggage about this you'd find in the west. There's no huge population that had the whole Bible and "Mark of the Beast" drummed into their heads. There's no conspiracy theorists. No persecution of Jews - even though they were an ally of Nazi Germany.
Japan has conspiracy theorists as much as America has if not more. Here is a poll from 2014 asking Japanese whether there is a conspiracy of shadowy organization controlling the world in secret, and 60% answered yes. As for Japanese positive attitude toward Jews during WWII, that was a result of Jews bankrolling Japan during Russo-Japanese War. Jews hated Russia for anti-Jewish pogroms and helped Japan and in turn Japan helped Jews during WWII. Of course that was then, now there is a rampant conspiracy theory that Japan was tricked into fighting Russia by evil Jews. Nowadays Russo-Japanese war is usually held up as the proof of how Jews controls the world by first causing a war and then deciding its victor.

Donald Trump has benefitted from plenty of free and favorable media, particularly from CNN. But he may have finally pushed his luck too far.
Trump had promised that his appearance at the new Trump hotel in Washington, D.C., on Friday would include a major statement about President Barack Obama's birth status.
The real estate mogul teased the appearance that morning, fueling speculation that he might finally admit he had been wrong to question the president's U.S. citizenship. There was even talk that Trump might apologize.
It didn't happen. After speaking for a few minutes about his new hotel and letting a series of veterans praise his candidacy, Trump said, "Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it. I finished it. You know what I mean. President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period. Now we all want to get back to making America strong and great again."
The statement, which lasted about 30 seconds, contained two separate lies.
Clinton didn't start the birther controversy. Trump, who as recently as this week has refused to say he believed Obama was born in the U.S., didn't end it.
And CNN's panelists made sure their viewers knew it.
This was John Berman: "Hillary Clinton and her campaign never pushed it." And this was his co-anchor, Kate Bolduan: "It's false. … Donald Trump in 2011, he made this his signature issue. No one has gone as far as Donald Trump on the birther issue."
Jake Tapper ― who, to his credit, has been among the most aggressive about calling out Trump's lies ― was blunt: "Those are two factually false statements. ... She and her campaign never, never started the birther issue. Second, Donald Trump did not end the birther issue."
Tapper also noted that the birther issue had a racial element, because it was an effort to delegitimize the nation's first African-American president.
John King, who remembered interviewing Trump on the day Obama released his birth certificate, was nearly speechless.
"After four or five years of leading a fraudulent and reckless campaign against the legitimacy of the United States president, you got, what, about six or seven words from Donald Trump?" he said.
"And none of those words," Berman noted, "were 'I'm sorry, I apologize.' Or explaining why he ever questioned the birth status of the United States president."
On social media, other media figures reacted with a similar mix of incredulity and condemnation.

Haven of Rest Ministry in Anderson This is the most effective faith based organization I've ever seen
New Life Program: A man when he comes into the mission basically has 30 days to make a decision whether or not he is going to enter the Men's Training Center. During this time he starts a bible study series by the Navigators. Daily Devotions are held each morning. They are conducted by a volunteer or staff person. The resident is also required to: Attend a chapel service on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights, attend a local church on Wednesday night, Sunday morning and evening, and Work at one of the ministry locations during the day. Freedom in Christ Program: After 30 days if a person elects to begin the discipleship program, he is moved into a different dorm where his studies increase and the preparation for his going to the Men's Training Center begins. His schedule is comprised of work detail, study, class time and church attendance. After being interviewed for the training center and a bed is offered, he must accept it or leave. During one's stay at the mission they are given individual counseling and aid in legal matters. Meals For the Homeless: We provide bag lunches for the homeless who elect not to stay here. We offer words of encouragement and give them a gospel tract when they choose to leave. Emergency Shelter: Based on availability, we offer shelter to those that need it on a daily and nightly basis. Financial Requirements: There are no charges for our services; however, we do encourage donations to help offset the cost of food, utilities, gas, staff, etc.

Illinois Man Takes Cat On A Memorial Day Canoeing Excursion, Drowns In Lake Trying To Save It
A Memorial Day weekend canoeing adventure turned deadly when a man drowned after jumping out of a canoe trying to save a cat he brought aboard.
Antioch, IL - Police say William Anderson, a 46-year-old man from Ingleside, drowned Sunday evening in a northern Illinois lake while trying to save a cat.
According to the Lake County Sheriff's office, Anderson was canoeing with two friends and the cat on Loon Lake. Officials say the cat jumped out of the canoe into the water and he followed immediately after in an attempt to save the cat's life. Anderson flipped the canoe and sent his two friends into the water.
A pontoon boat nearby noticed the disturbance and rescued the cat and his two friends. The canoers were more than 200 feet offshore and Anderson never resurfaced. Lake County officials said his body was recovered early Monday morning.
Police believe that alcohol was a contributing factor in Anderson's death, The Chicago Tribune reports. The Illinois Dept. of Natural Resources continues to investigate his death.
Loon Lake is approximately 50 miles North of Chicago.

Roaming regulation The Consumers Perspective Dominique Forest Senior Economic Adviser EPP – ED Hearing 08/03/2007
2 Consumers expectations What consumers want: –A simple regulation delivering clear, tangible benefits –Fairer prices, more transparency –Making the Single Market concrete (Citizens Agenda) What consumers do not want: –A regulation so complicated that it will not be implemented –A regulation that leaves extortionate tariffs untouched –A regulation consumers have difficulty benefiting from –Untransparent tariffs, offers difficult to compare –Adverse impact on other segments of the market
3 Why a retail regulation? Altex study: independent analysis of the effect of the regulation looking specifically at the claims of operators and focusing on overall welfare Lack of detailed information on international voice and data telecom services Consequence: opponents of price control can exaggerate the impact and/or argue for higher ceilings Contrary to industry claims, prices have not reduced recently Operators claim that price reductions will have limited effect on demand is not credible. Increased use of mobile phones while on holiday: North-South pattern in roaming Consumers switching off mobile phones
4 Eurostat: % of tourists going to main destination
5 Eurobarometer: using mobile phone more with lower prices
6 A retail regulation to the benefit of society The regulation will have a clear positive effect on welfare. (need to take into account the correct effect of price decreases on demand) The effect on overall profitability is low. The effect on investment is limited as well. Investment would be reduced at most by 1.5% yearly. The industry will remain profitable.
7 The risk of rebalancing Operators have threatened policy makers with the argument that the loss of roaming revenue would lead to an increase of the domestic prices The report looks at the claim. The MTR covers for the cost to have a national network. Roaming would not be free. The income of roaming will be more than enough to recover the costs of providing the roaming service.
8 Demand 1: Low retail caps BEUC calls for low retail prices in line with other international telecom services. To make international roamed calls: 33 cents on retail and 25 on wholesale level To make local roamed calls: 25 cents on retail and 18 cents on wholesale level To receive calls while roaming: 16 cents on retail and 12 cents on wholesale level
9 Demand 2: A simple regulation, to avoid that consumers are overcharged Averages complicate things. NRAs will have to calculate them, leading to differences within the Union, delay, legal uncertainty and most importantly, confusion for consumers. The discussion should be focused on the level of the caps The analysis of the operators offers shows that the packages and bundles are only beneficial to specific types of users. Consumers have been overcharged for many years. The regulation should therefore include every consumer automatically (opt out).
10 Key points Prices have not come down recently Volumes will go up when prices decrease Low Price caps: still the best way forward Averages: difficult to implement (complicates the debate, introduces legal uncertainty) Opt out is necessary - regulation has to benefit consumers Consumers need to be informed and operators need to be stimulated to publicise better offers. This will happen with a mechanism of opt out. Push system of information

Lee Is The Survivor On 'AHS: Roanoke' & Twitter Has Thoughts
When AHS: Roanoke began, we had no idea what was actually happening. Then, after six episodes, we figured out that the My Roanoke Nightmare documentary was over and we had entered the real life world of reality TV. There, Cheyenne Jackson's character produced a nightmare of a show where dramatizing actors and real like participants ran around an old haunted Roanoke home. We were told only one of them would survive — but who would it be? Well you're either going to love or hate the reveal, which was finally shown on the penultimate episode of the season. Turns out, Lee is the survivor on AHS: Roanoke, which, like, are any of us surprised?
Lee was kind of a wild card all season. On My Roanoke Nightmare, it was hard to not empathize with her. She was fighting for her daughter (didn't work), she was battling a divorce (really didn't work), basically things that were not making her life any easier. Enter possessed town you really don't want to get involved with during a dramatic time in your life, and BOOM, we have Lee, the slightly dysfunctional (also murderer) mother of one, who always seemed to cause issues for those that were trying to lead a non-murdery life in Roanoke.
And then there was Lee #AHS— Mitch Broyles (@broylesmb) November 10, 2016
Lee was revealed to be the only surviving Three Days In Hell cast member to survive the ordeal when the cops finally showed up at the cursed house on Wednesday's penultimate episode. For a moment, it looked like Shelby (Sarah Paulson) was going to be the one to get out alive (and not arrested), but a few quick movements ended her life and landed her in a body bag.
So, that left us with Lee. Some people were not thrilled about that, others were just not surprised. Of course it was Lee. It had to be Lee.
Lee killed half those people now she acting dumb. #AHS pic.twitter.com/dzWIfWYROf— chels (@chelsssseeeaaa_) November 10, 2016
so is real lee not possessed anymore orrrr....... i am so confused #AHS— ❁ virginia ❁ (@x_Ginnaaaay) November 10, 2016
Lee done gone crazy. #Ahs #AHSRoanoke pic.twitter.com/P0TErksscr— Oliver TwiXt (@HeIsOliverTwiXt) November 10, 2016
Lee, u wildin. #AHS— jacey (@jaceyrose24) November 10, 2016
So is lee gonna go cray every blood moon now? @AHSFX #AHSRonoake #ahs pic.twitter.com/ccXdK7gRZS— Teri Harris (@TeriBoBerry22) November 10, 2016
Lee is the last one I guess. What is next episode going to be like?! #AHS— Jasmineeeee ✨ (@Bamboo_Bangaa) November 10, 2016
So Lee was the only survivor because she lowkey the Butcher #AHS #AHSRonoake pic.twitter.com/OArDn5D6gV— A❤ (@Ameerah_XOXO) November 10, 2016
The fact that lee survived actually makes me mad. #ahs— Emiillyy (@emilystinee) November 10, 2016
The bigger surprise is that Lee will be sitting down with Lana Winters (Sarah Paulson, Season 2) for a tell-all interview in the finale. Should be interesting to see how these two interact and if Lee comes clean about murdering her husband. Either way, something tells me that Lee is just in for more of a wild ride.

Inga Nielsen, (born June 2, 1946, Holbæk, Den.—died Feb. 10, 2008, Copenhagen, Den.), Danish soprano who was known for the lyrical beauty of her voice and for her dramatic talent, especially as she matured into weightier roles. Nielsen began singing as a child and made her professional debut in 1971 at Gelsenkirchen, W.Ger. She specialized in light soubrette roles for several years, but in the 1980s her growing vocal power allowed her to take more demanding and theatrical roles, notably Konstanze in Mozart's opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail (Abduction from the Seraglio), the protagonist in Arnold Schoenberg's monodrama Erwartung, and ...

Abstract Microscopic Hartree-Fock plus BCS calculations in three-dimensional coordinate space are performed to obtain potential energy surfaces in order to analyse shape isomerism in mass regions other than the well-documented fission isomers in the actinides. Many isotopes of platinum, mercury and osmium exhibit a second minimum with a large deformation and are thus candidates for shape isomerism. The same feature also occurs around the 68Ni nucleus. The most promising candidates for experimental verification are delineated.

It's not just a coincidence that Wall Street is full of men and women from France. French education puts a strong emphasis on pure mathematics and some French universities have developed programs specializing in the complex modeling of derivatives. Derivatives are a financial instrument based on math that is nearly impossible to understand. The mathematical wizardry works like this: quantitative analysts build models for, say, a financial product that will protect investors against various shifts in the market. A second group puts together financial products based on the models. Traders buy and sell various elements in a package based on the models and structures they have to work with. Given the amount of people and work involved, it's improbable a rogue trader can make billion-dollar bets on his own. However, the outside world hears only about the derivatives that go wrong.

The Most Effective Anti-Aging Treatments in Perth to Reclaim That Youthful Look
No matter how hard one can try, the skin on their body, and especially on their face, will undergo sagging. This is a natural process that cannot be completely stopped. However, with the advancement of science, it has become an option for people to slow down this ageing process and even repair the skin to reclaim a more youthful look. Anti-aging treatments in Perth have been helping a lot of women, and men as well, to improve their appearances.
While anti-aging treatments in Perth are available, the first point of treatment, or the most basic method to protect your skin from losing its youth is by keeping it safe from the harsh environment. During the summers, the sun can cause a lot of damage to exposed skin. Therefore you should start by using plenty of high SPF sunscreen so that your skin is not damaged.
Anti Aging Treatments in Perth
Skin Deep Anti Aging
Procedures like plastic surgery and Botox injections help in reducing the sagginess of the skin and improve its quality. Skin on the face can be tightened and rejuvenated with the help of such procedures. Though these procedures are temporary in nature, they can prove to be good options.
Hormone Anti Aging Treatment
The human body requires hormones to function properly and to regulate all other processes occurring inside. These hormones affect the overall health of the body, and with age, these hormones may start depleting causing effects to show up on the skin. Hormone anti aging treatment involves providing an alternate source of such hormones to the body so that all bodily functions can be performed and the body recoups its natural health.
Caloric Restriction Anti Aging Treatment
Caloric restriction is also a form of anti aging treatment which involves controlling what a person eats and limiting the calorie intake of the body. This is done to achieve a body weight which is 15 to 20 percent less than the natural set point weight of the human body.
Natural Anti Aging Treatment
The most natural form of anti aging treatments that also does not cost much is maintaining a proper balanced diet along with performing a few physical exercises. This is a very effective method to slow down the aging process of the human body and to naturally rejuvenate the skin, get rid of excess fat and replenish the nutrients in the body which will reflect on the outside.

A zoo set up and abandoned by the drug boss Pablo Escobar at the height of his wealth and notoriety and now home to a family of wild hippopotami is to be turned into a tourist attraction by the government of Colombia.
A zoo set up and abandoned by the drug boss Pablo Escobar at the height of his wealth and notoriety and now home to a family of wild hippopotami is to be turned into a tourist attraction by the government of Colombia.
Officials said the zoo would provide jobs for local people and bolster the local economy.
Colombia has passed legislation to end a 10-year legal battle with the late trafficker's family. The rest of Escobar's sprawling estate, Hacienda Napoles, will be shared by peasants driven from their land by 40 years of civil war.
The country's senior anti-drugs official, Alfonso Plazas, said: "What we would like to do is build a tourist attraction and a museum of Colombian crime."
The seizure of the estate and its zoo - once filled with exotic animals from Africa imported without licences - ends the legal fight with Escobar's wife and children for the property. The new laws made it easier for the government to seize property bought with drug money.
Escobar, killed by Colombian police in 1993, built the 7,400-acre estate during the 1980s near the town of Puerto Triunfo, 100 miles north of the capital, Bogota. It was reportedly the site of notorious, drug-fuelled parties at which Escobar would entertain his guests and business partners from the Medellin drugs cartel. At the time, Escobar, the son of landless peasants, was believed to be the seventh richest man in the world, thanks to his cocaine-smuggling network which controlled the supply of the drug to much of the US.
While he lived there, Escobar placed the small aircraft he used on his first drugs flight to the US above an archway at the entrance to the estate.
For years the estate has been abandoned, housing a few families who had been driven off their land. Like much of the property, the aircraft has been taken by looters. Several cars - part of a fleet of top-of-the-range American vehicles owned by Escobar - lie rusting in a garage. Escobar imported Al Capone's car from Chicago, likening himself and his friends to the US mobster.
But reports from the estate say the only creatures thriving there are a 10-strong family of hippos. Six of them have been born in the wild, almost certainly the only example of a wild hippo birth outside Africa.
The hippos are the remnants of what was once a well-cared-for zoo, stocked with giraffes, lions and rhinos. After Escobar's death, the government transferred most of the animals to other zoos, but for some reason they left the hippos and zebras. The zebras have now gone but the hippos are thriving in a muddy lake next to the Magdalena river. People nearby say that at night the hippos leave the lake and wander about the estate, making regular trips to the stables, where they use a salt lick that the families have put out for their cows. "They tear down the fence every time I put it up and turn everything into a mess, but what can I do," Luis Perea said. "They are huge."
Colombia remains riven by violence, and by the drugs trade. This month, a 1991 report by the US Defence Intelligence Agency surfaced, saying the present Colombian President, Alvaro Uribe, was a close friend of Escobar and "dedicated to collaboration with the Medellin [drug] cartel at high government levels".
Colombia is among America's biggest recipients of military aid and the Bush administration said the right-wing Mr Uribe is a close ally in the war on terror, and the war on drugs.
