Red Robin is one of my go to restaurants. I absolutely love their food and have never had a reaction (at other locations). They are very careful in the kitchen to ensure no cross contamination. They even have a separate fryers. That being said, I absolutely despise this location. We will drive out of our way to go to the one in Saint Matthews or the Summit so that we do not have to eat at the Clarksville location. The service is absolutely horrid and the food is never good. I've also had a reaction after eating at the Clarksville location. We've been to this location three different times and each time we leave extremely disappointed!! This location gives a Red Robin a bad name. I tell everyone I know not to go to Clarksville, it will turn you away from a good Red Robin experience.

I have had trouble with the food both times I have eaten at this location. In the most recent experience, the kitchen staff accidentally put my burger on a regular bun instead of the gluten free roll. My server was very apologetic and took it back to the kitchen to be corrected. When he returned less than five minutes later, I asked if it was a whole new burger or if they just switched the bun. He stated they just switched the bun. I had to send it back to have a new burger cooked. When the server returned for the third time, he assured me everything was fresh and done correctly, but I still started to have stomach issues within 20 minutes of my first bite. The staff is clearly untrained at this location.

Not too knowledgable about gluten free. No dedicated french fry fryer at this location so we could not eat fries which was very disappointing.

I love this place! My daughter and I are both Celiac and have never had any issues. The allergen menu is available on a smartphone; there is a QR code to scan inside the regular menu. Staff has repeatedly seemed knowledgeable and we'll trained. Bottomless fries are great oh, and the burgers are delicious!
3100 Main Street, #1500, Maumee, OH 43537
They have GF buns available on request and the fries are GF. Unfortunately, they do not have a GF menu in the store. They tell you to go on the website where there is a GF menu. That was kind of annoying but it was effective.

Staff seems very confused about gluten free fries. Used to have to order them without 'seasoning', but last visit I was told that ALL of the fries are now gluten free, even with seasoning. The confusion seems limited to this location. Even the manager wasn't all that reassuring. If you're celiac, beware...

I've eaten at several Red Robin's with no issues. They have a dedicated fryer for fries. Also they have gluten free buns but I prefer lettuce wrap burgers. I have not gotten sick fro eaten at any of the Red Robin's throughout Colorado. The staff is very knowledgeable and if not they will provide you with a tablet so you can look st their allergen menu.

Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. She was willing to explain the items I could eat. There is a separate fryer for allergen free fries, and they have a gluten free bun. All that, but I still got sick an hour after eating there. Probably a good place if you're less sensitive.

9810 Riverside Drive, Tulsa, OK 74137
The Secaucus location was absolutely dirty! Would never eat there again. The floors are so greasy that it felt I was ice-skating as I was trying to make my way to the door. The tables are so dirty and stick, I needed a shower when I got home. Though the manager was answering all of our questions and accommodated our needs, It felt like he could not care less to reassure us that there would be no cross-contamination. The GF burger bun was very soggy, fries were crunchy but without any salt, and they had no bottled drinks for GF customers. Definitely not worth wasting money on ... ;( If you must go there, also ask for the fries to be put on the plate and not a basket..

Walkerd in and felt smothered by smells of wheat from the frier, could not breath, bad ventilation gross.
8425 Northlake Commons Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28216
While I would normally give them 5 stars because I've eaten there so often, in the last year lately it's seemed a little risky and the last two visits were the last straw for me. My visit last week I was given a regular full gluten bun and was told it was gluten free as it was placed in front of me. Thankfully I already knew what their gf buns look like or else I would have started eating it. They fixed me a new one which the manager brought out and all was well. Today, I went back bc it was a team lunch and it's really the only place I can eat out, my food was brought out with all of the other food on the same platter, and when I questioned one of the managers I was assured he was 99% sure it should be fine. In the end I didn't feel comfortable eating it (that 1% you know) and only ate a small portion. They tried to make it right by not charging me which I appreciated. I will say this location does try, however there have been too many close calls for me and I just can't risk eating here any longer. There are several staff and managers who take great care in regard to celiac customers, but they need to fully educate everyone or have some kind of alert to management for oversight of gf food prep.

Update 30 Sept 3018 — when I noticed the food was not speared by the typical stick signifying the order was prepared gluten-free, I asked if the food was gluten-free. The server condescendingly replied "you want a purple stick? I can get you a purple stick". Without checking with anyone, server insisted food was gluten-free.

This restaurant may be okay if you have a gluten intolerance but both my son and I are Celiac and ate there last night. He had a beef burger with bacon on a gluten-free bun and gluten free fries in a designated fryer. I had a simple grilled chicken burger on a gluten-free bun and a side salad. Both of us had a reaction this morning, typical of gluten cross-contamination. Do not recommend eating here if you have Celiac disease.

Always good gluten free food. We eat here at least once a month and 3/4 of us are Celiac. We order out and dine in and have always had great results. I so always remind them which menu items need to be gf at the end of our order as a recap. Sometimes takes a while to get food during dine in, but it is a super busy, super popular chain... The customer service is sometimes off, and they can't seem to agree on how to best present their gluten free menu. Used to print it, then was on an online order machine thing, then on a tablet, now I'm told I have to pull it up on my phone myself... The inconsistentcy is annoying, but the fries and lettuce wrapped CA chicken burger make up for it. My son loves the gf bun on his hamburgers.

Just an advisory, I was going to eat here after seeing the positive reviews and having good experience at other Red Robin locations. But there must have been something going on in the kitchen tonight, because when I showed up, there was a huge wait. The to-go orders that were being picked up were completely wrong, according to the to-go customers. That comprised my trust this particular night, so I left without eating.

Since going gf free, we have been thrilled to find many places offering gf buns for hamburgers, That being said, most are clearly not as good as regular. Only 2 have stood out: Cooper's Hawk in Annapolis (they bake their own) and nor, Red Robin. It was so delicious I had to check to make sure it was not gluten. (like Glory Days, the food is served with a colored marker to assure that it is gf) Our waitress was informative, the food was terrific, and we are 2 days out with no issues. We loved the burger, the plank style fries were crispy outside, creamy inside and the cole slaw fresh and yummy. We will be back and next time we will try a milk shake!!!

I don't remember the last time I saw Jared Oakes – we were kids when I moved away from Washington State's Long Beach peninsula – but it couldn't have been too far (the peninsula is only about 30 miles long and a mile and a half wide) from the land he's now farming. My family lived in Long Beach for a few years, during which we befriended the Oakes family and I have only hazy memories of an energetic blond kid, but that image evokes the wild grit that a venture into organic farming requires. Jared's farm, Starvation Alley, is on track to become the state's first organic cranberry operation.
Through a stroke of internet luck, I happened upon the Starvation Alley Facebook fan page when I friended Jared's sister Tiffany, so I sent an email and made contact with Jared's girlfriend and business partner, Jessika Tantisook, then gave them a call to catch up with my childhood friend and hear about their extraordinary endeavor.
It turned out that after growing up in Long Beach, Jared had spent eight years in California and a stint in the restaurant business, when his relationship with Jessika, who was already on her way to a career in farming, got serious. Jessika was in Ohio doing community gardening through Americorps, and when they decided to make a life together, it presented something of a crossroads for them. The future, as they say, was wide open. Both had a strong interest in farming, and Jared's parents had five acres available back home. Nobody was growing organic cranberries in the entire state. In fact, they said it couldn't be done, and the couple couldn't resist the challenge.
But that lonesome niche has also been one of their biggest obstacles – the insular and increasingly elderly community of growers offers little in the way of guidance or mentorship to the new farmers. Even online, there are few answers to the many questions that pop up, in part because cranberries are such an obscure crop. (Jessika recently started a blog in an effort to share resources online.) With all the perseverance of a couple of young farmers, they've pushed through their first year, learning lessons along the way, and Starvation Alley is one year into its transition on its way to becoming the state's first certified organic cranberry farm.
A few facts about cranberries
We mostly think of these nutritious, if tart, little guys around the holidays, but a substantial amount of those harvested in the US go into juice. In fact, a whopping 95% are processed into juice, sauce or the ridiculously named "craisins." But how do they grow, and what are the environmental implications of their production?
If you have a mental picture of cranberry production, it likely involves a bog full of water, with a layer of fresh berries floating on top of it. And this is what harvest looks like for the majority of cultivators, though the bogs tend only to be flooded during spring and fall, and as the raw cranberry market has heated up, growers are trending toward dry harvest, which makes for a longer-lasting -- and legally marketable -- fresh product (wet-harvested berries can't be sold, just like flooded produce). Jared and Jessika have devoted a small portion of their land to dry harvest and describe the process as much more difficult, but point out that it could be easier with better machinery for harvesting and sorting and that innovation has stagnated in this area because the focus has traditionally been on processed cranberries and therefore wet harvest.
And their love/hate affair with water
Cranberry production requires a lot of water and has a substantial impact on it, from quantity impacts (springtime high levels and fall harvests lead to floods of discharge into local waterways, summertime irrigation and flooding requires massive intake from same) to quality impacts (pesticides flow right into local waterways and water tables) and wetland impacts (cranberry operations are often situated where wetlands once stood, or adjacent to them).
In Wisconsin – far and way the top state in cranberry production – a "Cranberry Law" that goes back to 1867 exempts growers from being required to obtain permits before physically altering lakes and streams by setting up irrigation systems, ditches and dams. On a national level, cranberry producers are exempt from the Clean Water Act, in spite of the vast amount of water involved in cranberry production and the flow of chemical fertilizers and pesticides into local waterways.
As far as pesticides go, in 2006, the USDA Pesticide Data Program found 13 pesticide residues on tested cranberries, including three known or probable carcinogens, six suspected hormone disruptors, five neurotoxins, one developmental or reproductive toxin and six honeybee toxins. Suddenly, those images of the bright berries floating in the watery bogs is decidedly less pure.
And their marketability
The Starvation Alley farmers also have a challenge in marketing. Right now, they are selling to the Ocean Spray cooperative, which controls a whopping 95% of the cranberry market, but they withhold a portion (10% of their average yield) of their berries to market directly, with an eye toward getting out of the coop. Ocean Spray doesn't have an organic line – apparently, they tried at some point, but it wasn't profitable – so once they get through the three-year transition process, they will need to find an alternative or see the product they work so hard to grow thrown in with the conventionally-grown fruits of their neighbors.
So, for the last two weekends in a row, they've trucked up to Seattle's Pike Place market and sold fresh berries as well as two value-added products: pure, un-pasturized cranberry juice, and cranberry sauce with ginger, fennel seed and red wine. The products met with mixed reviews the first weekend -- not surprising, considering that Pikes' draws a massive tourist crowd compared to the food-conscious crowd that attends less famous markets -- but picked up last weekend, with Thanksgiving looming. Jessika said she considers everything they do part of an experiment now, and that they are thinking of other creative and practical ways to move the other 90% of their crops in coming years.
The fact that Ocean Spray controls the vast majority of the market and has no organic line has greater implications than the fact that only some brave and passionate young farmers are crazy enough to take on the kind of risk and hard work finding that growing organic cranberries and finding a way to market them requires, but it also goes back to the earlier problems they described, the lack of information out there and the lack of machinery. Ocean Spray isn't even doing research in the organic sector. Even the website for Rutgers University's New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, with its focus on blueberries and cranberries, houses virtually no information on organic cultivation.
It's kind of a catch-22. In order to expand the organic market, there will have to be growers, but the growers are pretty much left to their own devices when they decide to transition. Here's hoping that their perseverance, their commitment to sparing their downstream neighbors from chemicals and the wild enthusiasm they have for their project carry them through the next few years and they are able to forge a path for other aspiring organic growers to follow.
What can you do?
Given the lack of respect with which most Americans have treated cranberries over the years -- foodies may have moved on to delicious sauces with orange zest and bourbon, but the majority still blurp a cranberry jello log out of a can -- their environmental impact hardly seems worth it. But if we support small, organic farms and consider the hard work that goes into a product like Starvation Alley's, maybe cranberries can recapture the wonder and respect a traditional dish deserves.

With anxious spring breakers ready to embark on Destin for some fun in the sun, all hands are on deck locally to prepare for an influx of visitors.
"We are expecting a 5 percent increase (in visitors) compared to last year," said Tom Kraus, from the Okaloosa County Tourist Development Council.
Thousands of college students and families from all across the south will call Destin home during the upcoming spring break season, which is right around the corner. Colleges from Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Georgia and Louisiana have been flocking to the area for years.
Despite the cooler temperatures along the Emerald Coast, lifeguards in Okaloosa County will be on the beaches beginning March 9 to offer their advice and services, if needed.
In Destin, beach safety lifeguards will be on the beach from 9:45 a.m. - 5:45 p.m., seven days a week, Beach Safety Chief Joe D'Agostino told The Log.
"Our crews are always ready," he said. "We are expecting the busiest spring break this area has ever seen."
Beach Safety lifeguards will monitor beaches from the Walton County line to the eastern boundary of Henderson Beach State Park, then from the western boundary of the park to East Pass. The patrol at the pass was prompted by a series of drownings over the past few years.
As for the influx of beach goers, D'Agostino told The Log the key to staying safe on spring break is watching the beach flags and knowing when to listen to the lifeguards.
"It's all about education," he said. "You should always heed the advice of the beach patrol or even the beach attendants."
For deputies from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, there is more to spring break patrols than just monitoring the beaches for underage drinkers and other illegal activities.
Last year, for example, deputies noticed that instead of renting condos and hotels for spring break, students were renting houses in the Crystal Beach area and holding big house parties and street parties, according to sheriff's office spokeswoman Michele Nicholson.
"Deputies just go where they are needed," she wrote in an email to The Log. "Whether it's on the beaches or in a neighborhood where houses are rented out."
In 2012, beach patrol deputies issued at least 543 citations to underage drinkers during spring break, compared to 342 notices-to-appear for underage possession of alcohol handed out in 2011. Based on data from the sheriff's office, students from Alabama (83), Georgia (74), Louisiana (65) and Mississippi (46) were cited the most for underage possession of alcohol.
The sheriff's department will have deputies performing off-duty details at area hotels and condos, providing extra security, Nicholson wrote. She said beach patrols will have a "zero tolerance" policy in place for underage drinking.
Operators of the Southern Restaurant Group, which includes Pompano Joe's Seafood House, The Back Porch Seafood & Oyster House, Fisherman's Wharf Seafood House, and Louisiana Lagniappe, have plenty of staff on the schedule and food in the walk-in coolers to serve hungry visitors.
"Usually by March 1, we're ready for them," said John Comer, president and CEO of Southern Restaurant Group. "It's (spring break) almost like a trial run for summer."
As for his expectations about the upcoming spring break season, Comer said he is optimistic, despite a down economy and gas prices that have been continually on the rise.
"We typically go by what our rental companies are showing and they are booked up pretty solid," he said.
And if the upcoming spring break season is like last years, it should be pretty successful based on the bed tax dollars generated in Okaloosa County.
For the 2011-2012 fiscal year, bed tax revenue in March was more than $1 million, compared to less than $800,000 the year prior.
With the spring break season right around the corner, here are some of the schools that will be on break in the upcoming weeks:
Louisiana State University�March 29-April 5
Tulane University�March 24-April 1
Florida State University�March 11-15
University of Florida�March 2-9
University of Alabama�March 22-29
Auburn University�March 11-15
University of Kentucky�March 11-16
University of Texas�March 11-16
University of Georgia�March 11-15

Ex-Prenda Lawyer Brett Gibbs Pleads Poverty To Judge Wright
from the like-the-folks-you-shook-down? dept
While Judge Wright's most recent order told Gibbs to officially withdraw from the cases, it doesn't mean that Gibbs has been let off the hook for payment. In response, it appears that Gibbs is basically begging Judge Wright for mercy, highlighting that he's completely broke and has expensive medical bills due to his brain cancer. It is a sob story, and you do feel bad for the guy... but then you remember some of his actions during the course of all of these cases, including more than a few absolutely ridiculous claims and tactics in this case and in how he dealt with opposing counsel. And, of course, there's the fact that he was involved in an operation that is being widely accused (by a federal court judge, among others) of perpetrating a massive shakedown scheme, threatening people with a lawsuit for gay porn if they don't pay up.
Yes, it's sad that Gibbs got brain cancer. I don't wish that on anyone. And it's sad that he's got less than $500 in his bank account and over $50,000 in debts. But, perhaps he should have thought of all of that before getting involved in a scheme that threatens thousands of people with highly questionable lawsuits if they don't pay up. Still, the main targets of Judge Wright's focus are clearly Steele, Hansmeier, and Duffy, so it'll be interesting to see if he agrees to let Gibbs off the hook in some manner.

Robert Pattinson: Oh Bloody Bloody!
Robert Pattinson shows off a bloody face on the set of his new film Remember Me in Manhattan, New York City on Tuesday (June 23).
The 23-year-old Twilight and New Moon star has apparently been enjoying his time shooting in New York City! He's hit up many of the city's hotspots, including his favorite bar, Black and White, in the Village. A People source spotted Rob enjoying the nightlife and said, "He was smiling and laughing and just having a good time with his friends. "He seemed really relaxed and didn't seem to worry about the people around him!"

The flora of the Washington (D.C.) -Baltimore Area (see Map)
is rich in number and diversity of species. Nearly 2,800 species of native and naturalized vascular
plants (ferns and fern allies, conifers and flowering plants) have been catalogued
in this region. The region includes mountain, Piedmont, and coastal plain habitats
and thus embraces a wide variety of ecological conditions.
Local plants have been studied since at least the 1830s (see "A Prodromus of the Flora Columbiana"), and the DC
Herbarium, located within the U.S. National Herbarium, was established as an integral part of that
research. An up-to-date Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the Washington-Baltimore Area has been completed in two parts
(Part I, 2000;
Part II, 2002) by Stanwyn Shetler and Sylvia Orli.
The recording of spring flowering dates is another of the current projects,
which has continued for more than 30 years.

I consider it a matter of the European Commission grossly over-estimating their ability to exert control over a non-EU based corporation.
This remains to be seen. Microsoft has assets in the EU, which can be seized in the event MS decides to ignore local European laws.
I also wonder why being based in another country than an EU member state exempts you from following European laws. If this were true, I wonder why European companies even put up with United States laws. Since they are not based in the USA, they can safely ignore them following your twisted logic.
May I remember U.S. citizens about the Dmitri Sklyarov case? Sklyarov reverse engineered a DRM-ed e-book format in the former USSR, where this is perfectly legal. Upon landing in the USA, he was arrested and charged under the DMCA. Since when do US laws reach over US borders, making law abiding citizens of a foreign sovereign state criminals under US laws?
At least the EU is charging Microsofts European business in the EU. They are not pursuing them for violations elsewhere.

Phenakospermum Endl.
Prodr. Fl. Norf. 35 (1833), in obs. (Phenakosperum); Miq. in Bot. -Zeitung, iii.345 (1845), descr. ampl.
Type: P. guyannense (L.C. Rich.) Endl. ex Miq.
Large, rhizomatous, arborescent herbs forming clones with erect, leafy shoots from 3.2-10.3 m in height (at reproductive maturity). Pseudostem palm-like, 3-7.4 m tall, 11-17 cm in diameter, composed of a central fibrous stem covered with overlapping sheathing leaf bases. Leaves large, distichous with all blades lying in a single plane, deciduous, up to 12 persisting at the time of flowering; petiole green, slightly glaucous, 0.37-1.92 cm long, 2.0-3.2 cm in diameter; blade with central midrib and lateral venation, base usually cordate, apex obtuse, the upper surface green, the lower surface green, glaucous, 1.0-2.7 m long, 47-85 cm wide. Inflorescence terminal on leafy shoot, erect, held conspicuously above the leaves, consisting of a peduncle, rachis, and bracts, to 3.65 m in height; peduncle green, glaucous, 1.2-2.0 m long, 7-18 cm in diameter; rachis 2.5-9.0 cm in diameter, internodes 6-24 cm long; bracts distichous, 3-10 per inflorescence, oriented 90 degrees to axis of inflorescence, green to yellow green with a waxy coating, 23-44 cm long, 18-34 cm wide at base, each subtending a cincinnus of up to 25 flowers. Each flower is subtended by an opaque, cream-colored, acuminate, persistent floral bract which becomes papery at fruit maturity, 17-34 cm long, 5.8-8.5 cm wide at base; floral bracts and immature flowers covered with mucilaginous secretions. Flowers hermaphroditic; pedicel 1-1.2 cm long, cream-colored; perianth to 28 cm in length, consisting of two whorls united at the base into a prolonged, solid tube above the ovary, tube bicarinate, white, 9 cm long, 1.8 cm wide; the calyx with one free abaxial sepal, 17 cm long, 3.5 cm wide, and two free, slightly imbricate, adaxial sepals, 18 cm long, 3.5 cm wide, creamy white; the corolla with two connate abaxial petals, overlapping but free at base, fused from middle to apex, margins becoming revolute, 14 cm long, 2.5 cm wide, and one free adaxial petal, 12 cm long, 3.0 cm wide, creamy white with thin dark green margins; stamens five, abaxial stamen of inner whorl absent, the filaments long, linear, geniculate, attached basally to apex of perianth tube and distally to apex of fused sepals, 8.5 cm long, the anthers 4-loculate, linear, 7 cm long, dehiscence longitudinal; pollen in monads, very large (ca. 110 mm in diameter), spheroidal to ovoid with polar protruberances, inaperturate, sculpturing psilate, wall with thin exine and elaborate 3-4-layered intine; ovary inferior, 3.5 cm long, 2 cm wide, bicarinate, white, three-celled, placentation axial, the ovules numerous in 4 rows per locule, the style filiform, straight, lax, the stigma conical, 1.5 cm long. Fruits loculicidal, woody capsules, 15 cm long, 8 cm wide; seeds arillate, aril composed of bright red orange threads, 8-10 mm long, 6-8 mm wide, up to 400 seeds per fruit; embryo straight; endosperm copious. 2n = 22 (From Manning & Goldblatt, 1989)
Geographical Distribution:
Phenakospermum is widely distributed throughout the Amazonian Basin in tropical northern and central South America east of the Andes.
Taxonomic Diversity:
Most taxonomists (Lane 1955; Tomlinson 1960; Andersson 1985; Maas 1985; Kress 1990) recognize only a single species, P. guyannense (L.C. Rich.) Endl. ex Miq., in the genus. A second species, P. amazonicum (Mart.) Miq., at one time was segregated into a separate genus Musidendron Nikai, but is now considered to be conspecific with P. guyannense.
Ecology and Pollination Biology:
This genus is particularly abundant in transitional habitats between tall wet forests and open areas of savanna and cerrado. Flowering occurs from the end of the rainy season to the middle of the dry season and a single inflorescence can produce flowers for two to four months. The large, hermaphroditic flowers emerge from the protective inflorescence bracts just before sunset and are receptive for one night. From 1.2 to 3.0 ml of hexose-dominant nectar, with a mean concentration of 16.9%, is produced by each flower. Flower-visiting bats in the genus Phyllostomus were observed to be the primary pollinators in French Guiana. Caluromys philander, a nocturnally foraging marsupial, visited the flowers to rob nectar, but did not effect pollination. (Kress and Stone, 1993). Seed dispersal is probably by birds which are attracted to the bright red orange arils exposed in the open capsules.
Common Names, Uses and Notes:
Traveler's Palm (more often applied to Ravenala); paloeloe, haritsi (Surinam); sororoca (Brazil). Leaves are used for thatching roofs (Maas, 1985) and temporary umbrellas.
Phenakospermum is most closely related to Strelitzia of South Africa. Although it resembles the commonly cultivated Ravenala in its conspicuous distichous leaf arrangement, it is only occasionally grown as an ornamental.

After her breakthrough as a makeup artist — doing the face of soon-to-be-super model Naomi Campbell for the cover of Vogue — Bobbi Brown found the world was her palette. And yet the world was not enough. However applied, most products appeared too fake for her tastes. So she started her own cosmetics company, championing a more natural look that has made her name a global brand. (She serves on the U.S. Trade Commission.) A similarly successful formula of "basic, with a twist" is how she describes her own style. We asked her to turn the magnifying mirror on herself, head to toe.
My look is ... classic and comfortable. I wear a lot of cardigans, either from Marni, which I buy at the outlet — or Uniqlo, which are ridiculously priced, like $69, and they last for a season, but they look perfect for a whole season. And jeans. I have worn jeans to the White House probably numerous times. Not only jeans, but also gray Converse sneakers. And I always have some kind of statement jewelry when I dress down like that. I go between Ted Muehling pearls on my ears and neck to J.Crew and all their vintage jewelry. They have amazing old rhinestones. I'm probably one of their biggest collectors.
A staple: I have so many eyeglasses in my drawer. The frame is always bold and always black and always totally smudged with extra cream from my hands.
What I wear when I want people to look: My very, very high YSL platform shoes — as high as they come — I believe 5 inches. (I'm 5 feet tall.) I saw Sheryl Crow wear them to the White House, and I had to get them.
What I wear when no one's looking: I secretly wear clogs a lot. I even customize my clogs. I have black velvet ones with a crest. I have blue suede ones with turquoise initials. I wear them to the office when I want to (tee) off my PR people.
Favorite recent find: Vince jeans. They're soft, with a modern cut. And their clothes are flattering for a woman's body, a very unusual thing in this day and age of fashion.
Oldest thing in my closet that I still wear: Iconic Prada penny loafers. They don't make them anymore. Whenever I need a hug, I wear my Prada loafers. They're probably at least 16 years old. I could not afford them when I bought them, and they are the best investment I made.
What I wear when I'm running late: A ponytail.
The shirts on my back: Gap, J.Crew, Vince and Hanes.
A chore: I unfortunately color my hair every two weeks, because underneath my beautiful dark hair is white. Oscar Blandi also has this little pen that lets out a little temporary hair color, it works really well when you're traveling.
An essential accessory: My Cartier watch, a men's watch with a big face with a rubber wristband. I've worn it every day since my 45th birthday, 9 years ago.
Where my wallet and keys are: In my handbag, which is a Hermes Birkin, or in my L.L. Bean tote, which I carry to the office as my briefcase.
Instant confidence booster: Concealer. Or a martini.
Surprise find: For shampoo I have just discovered Wen by Chaz Dean at QVC; it's a non-sudsing shampoo. It will change your hair. The frizzies go away.
People always ask me about ... the blazers I buy from Uniqlo. I take them to my tailor, and I have him sew in a colored lining. I have a tuxedo jacket that I had lined in bright pink. People think it's YSL. I also have a navy one I had lined with turquoise. I customize my clothes a lot. I have a friend who is the head tailor for Calvin Klein; he comes over on Saturdays and looks at my clothes and says, "Why don't we do this … ?"
A signature gift: Helen Ficalora necklaces. I have one with a peace sign and three D's for my kids' names. I bought Ann Curry one when she got her job on the "Today" show. It's a good gift to give another woman.
I covet … my husband's clothes. It's hard to find clothes for women that are as thin material and flattering as men's.

Just wanted to inform you that one of my fly fishing and fly tying mentors, Ed Story, founder and owner of Feather-Craft in St. Louis, passed away in his sleep early Monday morning. Ed taught me to tie his signature fly, the Crackleback, and helped me with casting and many other aspects of fly fishing.
I posted the following note on another website:
Ed and the folks at Feather-Craft gave me my start in fly fishing and fly tying many years ago, so I never missed a chance to stop in and visit whenever I was back in St. Louis, or to chat when I called in an order.
My favorite Ed story occurred in my second year of fly fishing. I'd ordered a custom 7wt rod from another vendor and took it over to Feather-Craft's casting yard to test it out. Ed graciously agreed to accompany me outside and give it a try himself. I flailed with it a bit, then handed the rod to Ed. He calmly and smoothly worked out line until he was casting it all, timing his casts to miss the traffic moving along Manchester Road. Ever the kind-hearted diplomat, Ed handed the rod back to me and said: "Well, you won't be limited by your rod."
My condolences to Ed's wife Janelle, his son Bob, daughter Robyn, and all the staff at Feather-Craft. We've lost a real gentleman with his passing.
Ed, who was in his mid 70s, had battled back from a bout with cancer, then had a quadruple bypass in early March. He'd been back in the shop occasionally since his surgery, but then took a turn for the worse a couple of weeks ago. Still, it was a shock to those in the shop and all who knew him, since Ed seemed cheerful and vital to the end.
Feather-Craft's Ed Story passes away

The general state of well-being, generally associated with the presence of human emotions possessing generally happy, optomistic qualities. Wellness can be found often in those that are morally straight, giving, rich, and other people who can be assumed due to the previous description.
One might wonder, "How are the rich assocated with wellness?" Well, to answer your question which would most likely not be asked in so many words, it was a joke intended to be put down here in the italics text which it seems you are reading currently, the idea being to make the reader laugh, although it seems this attempt has failed miserably.

To fully enjoy this dish requires a love of tuna fish. Not just any tuna but canned tuna packed in olive oil. That's where the secret to success lies. Water packed tuna is too dry and bland. It's imperative that you use a good quality oil-packed white albacore tuna.
I love dishes like this where in the time it takes to boil and cook the pasta you can make the entire meal! Onion, garlic and red pepper flakes are sauteed along with tuna then tossed with the angel hair pasta and some of its starchy water to make a bare bones sauce. Chopped parsley adds a much needed hit of freshness and color. You can eat this as a main dish with crusty bread to sop up the oily sauce or serve it as an appetizer, it's light enough for that. This is best eaten fresh as the leftovers tend to get a little fishy!
I grew up eating tuna in tomato sauce as a part of our traditional Christmas eve fish feast. For me it's the kind of dish I have to be in the right mood for. Like liver and onions. Or corned beef and cabbage. It's not something you want to eat everyday or even every week, it's one of those occasional cravings that hits you out of the blue.
1. In a large skillet saute onion and red pepper flakes in olive oil (season with salt and pepper) over medium low heat until translucent, add garlic and saute until fragrant.
2. Meanwhile cook angel hair according to package directions in plenty of salted water setting aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining. Once drained toss with a tablespoon or two of extra-virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Add tuna with its oil to skillet and cook about 5 minutes, breaking up tuna into small pieces.
4. Add pasta and pasta water to skillet and toss well with tuna sauce. Cook, stirring vigorously until sauce thickens and clings to pasta. Stir in parsley, season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Serve immediately.
Serves 4 as a main dish or 6-8 as an appetizer.

RICHMOND, Va. – King Men's Basketball opened its season in dramatic fashion by overcoming a seven-point deficit in the second half. The Tornado held on with a defensive stand in the final seconds of the contest for a 71-69 victory. Eddie Piccinini led the Tornado in its opener with 23 points.
After taking the lead with a three pointer by sophomore Logan Lyle with over four minutes remaining in the game, King held as much as a four-point lead before both teams went without a point over a two minute span of time. Virginia Union's Juan Wilson broke that drought with a layup to cut the King lead to two, 69-67. Kimar Johnson committed the team's 10th foul, giving Drew Standifer a chance at two free throws where he split the pair and put the Tornado up three.
Standifer, in return, committed his first foul to put Damion Harris at the line where he hit two free throws to bring the Panthers within one, 70-69, with 26 seconds remaining. Virginia Union immediately fouled Jason Seymore on the inbound, putting the senior at the line. Seymore missed the front end of two shots from the charity stripe but connected on the second to give King a two-point lead with 14 seconds remaining.
The Panthers' Calvin Brown went in for a layup but missed with the ball trickling out of bounds last touched by the Tornado. On the inbound pass, Seymore thwarted any opportunity at the basket by making the team's 10th steal to give King possession as time expired, giving King a 71-69 win.
King (1-0) was down as many as seven points with just over 10 minutes left to go before the turn of the game's tide. Eddie Piccinini (Orlando, Fla.) went on spurt where he scored 10 of the Tornado's next 14 points, including a pair of three-point shots. The senior gave King its first lead of the since the start of the second half on a pair of free throw makes with 5:12 left in the game.
The Tornado held the lead through the entire first half, mounting a lead as many as 15 points. They began the game on an 11-3 run with points coming from five different scorers. Jason Seymore and Piccinini helped King reach that 15-point plateau with back-to-back three pointers to make it a 27-12 game with 9:48 in the first half. That lead diminished as the half wore on. In the final 4:52, Virginia Union went on a 14-1 run to cut the gap to one point, 36-35.
The Panthers took the lead on their first possession of the second half with a made jumper by Juan Wilson, continuing their ongoing rally toward a six-point lead, 43-37. Junior Michael Fortune snapped the King drought with a three pointer three and one half minutes into the half. Each team exchanged blows before King rallied seven points down to earn the win.
Piccinini had 10 points in the first half but outdid himself in the second with an additional 13 to combine for a team-leading 23 points. He did so on an afternoon that he shot 50 percent from the field on 7-of-14 shooting. From distance, Piccinini hit 5-of-8 to lead the team in that category, as well, while finishing with eight assists.
In his first regular season game with the Tornado, freshman center Drew Standifer (Knoxville, Tenn.) scored 12 points and was the only player to join Piccinini with double-digit points. Standifer went 4-of-7 from the field and added three rebounds.
Fellow freshmen Aaron Wheeler (Morristown, Tenn.) and Malcolm St. Louis (Lebanon, Tenn.) each scored eight points in their first action in a Tornado uniform. St. Louis went a perfect 4-for-4 from the field while Wheeler went 4-of-7. Both ended the day with two assists.
Jason Seymore (Powell, Tenn.) led the team with seven rebounds and added five points in his first action since the 2010-11 season. Michael Fortune led the team with nine assists and added six points.
Damoin Harris led the Panthers with 17 points while teammate Kimar Johnson joined him in double digits with 13 points. Johnson finished with a double-double also bringing down 10 rebounds.
King's next action will be at home on Wednesday, Nov. 14 when they host the Tusculum Pioneers. Action from within the Student Center Complex will begin at 5 p.m. with the women's team playing Virginia Intermont. The men are scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff.

Im not picking anyone to dispose of them with ease.
I think Wlad has become a lot harder to hit since his earlier losses and his chin isnt as bad as it is supposed to be.
Foreman, prime Lewis, Louis and Liston crack Vitalis chin though IMO. No knock on his chin. Just not defensively responsible enough to deal with them

Prime Lennox Lewis beat either Klitschko.
Any version.
Prime LL domiantes Vitali.
Shot LL tko6ed the big stiff.. Prime LL will clown him. Not even under rating Vitali.
Vitali is a good paper champion but Prime LL will clown him and tko4 him.
Prime LL will knock out Wlad in 1 round. No knock on Wlad. Styles make fights. The worst possible style for Wlad is Prime Lewis.
All this is coming from a huge Klitschko fan. I may be a big Klitschko fan but I'm no liar.
I don't really care about the rest of the heavyweights throughout history though. I guess they will all be 50/50 fights with Klitschkos?

Don't be a hypocrite. You love Lennox, you see him as the best ever. That's ok, but don't sell BS. It won't make him bigger if you pretend you are klitschko fan and then 'admit' that lennox is so much better
On a topic... I would bet only on Ali (and maybe very prime Tyson) against this version of Wlad.
Lennox is 50:50... He beats the rest IMO.
A few others would have an edge over Vitali.

Yes.. I will like to apologize. The reason I posted those pictures is that the thread starter belongs in the '2nd category' of Klitschko fans (Freedom, Wladowns aka vladimir23 on ESB,)
You belong in the 1st category.
I will favor this version of Wladimir over almost everyone as well.
He is around Lennox's size, has massive power, great boxing skills, is more athletic than Lennox (debatable though), and is better technically than Lennox.
The only reason I will favor Lewis over Wlad is because Lennox had the ability to turn a fight into a Pier Six brawl and had good inside fighting skills. Lennox's jabs will often be followed by a variety of hooks, short lefts,upper cuts, over hands+ combinations .Wlad's jab is followed by the straight right.
Lewis on the inside will often have Hopkins like tactics as well in hurting opponents during clinches.
Lennox had under rated defense as well, he is a very good counter puncher and during his peak had his own variation of the shoulder roll (see Briggs Fight) which he effectively pulls off.
I don't see Wlad or Lewis beating Peak Ali and for me both Wlad and Lewis will be in danger against a Peak Tyson.
The problem is we can't under estimate the OTHER big 2 from the 90's -Peak Bowe and Holyfield.
The best version of Bowe and the best version of Holyfield are surely 50/50 fights or nearly so against Wladimir. This is no knock on Wlad.. because the best versions of Bowe/Holyfield can beat 90% of all the Heavys who ever fought.
To me h2h.. It's divided into several tiers.
Tier 1
Tier 1 A
Tier 2
Anybody from Tier 1 can lose to Tier 1 A.. and vice versa.
Tier 2 will be the slight under dogs, but will still be 40/60 fights.
These heavys I listed are just the elite of the elite in terms of overall h2h..

Top of head .........
Lewis Tyson and Ali are my defos
Louis, Foreman, Liston, Holmes probably win (not sure about Foreman)
Bowe at his best I would favor over both but wouldn't be shocked if it went the other way, especially against the current version of wlad.
Holyfield gives em a great fight but I wouldn't be surprised if evander came up short via close decison to both. Not convinced though, prime Holy would be MILES better than anybody they have ever beat and I wouldn't be surprised if he got the win. In trilogys I think he'd defo get a minimum of 1 win over both anyway and maybe just maybe he'd come out on top. Thinking more about this ... Wlad by no means dominated haye ... barring the klit fans yeah he EDGED almost every round but at no point did he really lay a beat down on him, and Holy is gonna be a waaaaaay tougher challenge than Haye and then looking at byrd vitali .... yeah I may revise Holyfield up to favourite v the klits. Not sure ... this could have a thread all of its own if it wasn't for pro/anti klit freaks
I think frazier would be in trouble against them, I'd love to think otherwise and maybe he could pull it out but the foreman demolition makes me think he'd be in trouble with guys of the klits size.
Also in a modern sense it's a pity they never fought Tua, I'd imagine wlad would lewis him but u never know, Vitali v tua would have been a cracker.

I already gave my opinion on prime vs prime (lennox vs wlad).
Although these two have some similarities (strong Manny's fingerprint) I still believe they are quite different fighters. Both of them have certain advantages over the other.
Lennox is a more versatile fighter. He likes wars, he is not afraid to trade punches - although his chin is not among the greats it's better than Wlad's. He throws good combos and body punches. He is strong as ox.
Wlad on the other hand is head hunter. He is the faster fighter, with better foot work and exceptional defense (this is the main think Manny developed in Wlad). He controls the distance perfectly and it is extremely hard to catch him. His chin might be his biggest weakness, but it's not as bed as people trying to make it. It's average.
Emanuel broke this match-up very nicely and he said that Lennox would fight one and only one way. He would like to come inside and stay there. If he manage to do that 90% he would win. Now the question is would he be able to do that with faster, better foot-work fighter with an exceptional jab (one of the best in HW ever) who can also punch very hard (even harder than Lennox according to Manny). Although he doesn't have the speed or the head movement of prime tyson, lennox is strong as hell and maybe he just manages to do it. But his chin again is not the best one and there is always a possibility he would run into Wlad's big right. From the outside I gave advantage to Wlad - I think he can outland Lennox from the outside due to superior speed and jab.
For me it's toss up... very very evenly matched fight. They are both great tactic players and that must be taken into account. It would be a brain power war as well as a physical battle. I have a very high opinion on Lennox and his career. I wouldn't strongly choose any fighter over Lennox except prime Ali (who would beat any fighter that ever lived). But I also have an equally high opinion on Wlad.
I have watched almost every Lennox fight when he fought them, then I am rewatching them on the regular bases. I do the same with Wlad's fights and I can tell how much did he improved and what an animal he became. It's 50:50 for me.. I am positive in one - it would be an epic fight.
Svck on this for a while

Joe Louis... Jack Johnson,Sonny Liston,Muhammed Ali,Larry Holmes,Mike Tyson and Lennox Lewis would all beat Vitali and Wladimir imo
Some obviously easier than others ... Tyson,Liston,Lennox and Johnson would ko them the earliest

NORTON, Mass. - The MIT men's swimming and diving team won 15 of 20 events and successfully defended its New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship crown as the three-day meet at Wheaton College's Balfour Natatorium came to an end Sunday night. The Engineers, whose five league titles are one shy of the United States Coast Guard Academy's NEWMAC record, finished with 1,027 points. Coast Guard came in second with 947.5 points, while Springfield College rounded out the top three with a score of 673.5.
Tech's Luke Cummings played a role in six event victories, anchoring four winning relays and tallying two individual titles. The senior finished first in the 50-yard Free with a NCAA Championship provisional qualifying time ("B-cut") of 21.01 and took the 100 Free crown in a B-cut time of 45.72.
Freshman Brendan Deveney touched the wall first in the 200 IM (1:54.18), while sophomores Matt Chapa (1:54.35) and David Parell (1:54.70) rounded out a 1-2-3 sweep of the event for the Cardinal and Gray; all three posted B-cut times in the event. Chapa's time in the preliminaries (1:54.10) set a NEWMAC Championship meet record.
On Saturday, Engineers took the top three spots in the 100 Fly. Chapa (50.27), classmate Brett Boval (50.72) and junior Toomas Sepp (50.83) held off the competition with B-cut times. During the trials, MIT's Wyatt Ubellacker also notched a B cut.
Sophomore Tim Stumbaugh had received three All-Conference honors over the weekend, beginning with his winning swim in the 400 IM (4:03.86). His B-cut time in the event marked the only NEWMAC open record to be set during the weekend; Deveney took second in the event (4:05.42). Stumbaugh also picked up Second-Team honors and B-cut times in the 100 Back (52.13) and 200 Back (1:51.30).
MIT's Rastislav Racz closed his NEWMAC career with wins in all four of his races. The breaststroker picked up wins in the 100-yard (57.27) and 200-yard (2:04.02) events and helped both medley relays to victory. Parell took third in both individual events with his swims of 58.17 in the 100 Breast and 2:07.75 in the 200 Breast.
Two other Engineers notched individual wins, as junior Michael Dobson won the 500 Free (4:36.45) and 1650 Free (16:02.04), while Sepp took the 200 Fly (1:53.91).
Over the three days, MIT won four of the five relays. Cummings and Deveney teamed up with freshman Ubellacker and senior Jeff Zhou to capture the 200 Free Relay crown (1:23.94). Freshman Tony Chen substituted for Zhou to help capture the 400-yard equivalent (3:05.84).
In the 200 Medley, Zhou, Ubellacker, Cummings and Racz captured the win in a time of 1:32.37. Racz and Cummings joined with Sepp and freshman Ron Rosenberg to take the 400 Medley Relay (3:23.79).
The NEWMAC crown is the fifth all-time for the Engineers and their second with Coach Dawn Dill at the helm.
MIT's men's and women's teams will now spend the next few weeks in preparation for the NCAA Division-III National Championship to be hosted by the University of Minnesota, March 18-21.

ORLANDO Fla. - Three bare burglars burgle beef. Only in Florida is that not a tongue twister but the latest true crime.
The break-in occurred at Doc's Beach House in Bonita Springs in the middle of the night on Sunday, according to Lee County sheriff spokesman Tony Schall.
The three young men are seen on video roaming around the kitchen in their underwear and taking a case of hamburgers and some red bell peppers from the refrigerator, according to the report.
Then they stripped off their underwear and walked around the kitchen nude awhile longer before leaving.
Although photos from the security camera are being posted widely on the Internet, only two tips have come in, Schall said, with no one apparently recognising the faces.
Investigators might never uncover the culprits, Schall said.
Schall said officers suspect the three might have been tourists.

Settling In.
We did it! We successfully moved. Boxes are unpacked and furniture is placed but there is still plenty to do. Floors to scrub, window treatments (and giant chandeliers!) to remove, plus deciding where to hang things. I'm feeling settled and unsettled all at the same time. I'm missing the cozy brick house and loving this one.
The yellow house is where our story continues. The wrap around porch and creamy colored pellet stove will be the scenery in this next chapter of our lives. If you didn't notice in the picture above, the children couldn't be happier. We moved ourselves into a neighborhood where some of their favorite people reside. Grandparents, cousins and friends were all waiting to welcome us. And the yellow house? We love it more than we already did. I'll be snapping pictures as things around here begin to take shape. Until then, you can get tiny peeks on my instagram feed. One question. How do you feel about floral wallpaper?

We're putting our apartment in central Copenhagen up on the market in two days.. I will miss it a lot! We had a huge living room with a flower wallpaper on on wall from the 1940-50's Swedish designer Josef Frank called "Eldblomma" and the rest of the walls were white. It looked fantastic!! But then again Josef Frank pretty much rocks..
think of all the living that was done at the cozy brick house. the babies you added - the milestones celebrated. can't wait to see what the yellow house brings!ReplyDelete

PORTSMOUTH — A Seacoast native with foreign policy expertise and a former New Hampshire Attorney General made the case Monday that President Barack Obama is the best choice for veterans in the 2012 presidential race.
Michael Breen, a former U.S. Army officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and former Attorney General Phil McLaughlin, discussed national security and issues affecting veterans during an appearance at the Obama campaign office in Portsmouth.
The event took place a few hours before Republican Sen. John McCain visited the city to campaign for GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. The Arizona senator held four events around New Hampshire Monday aimed at rallying local veterans for the Republican presidential ticket, including one at the local Veterans of Foreign Wars post on Deer Street. At the Portsmouth event, McCain said the president's "failure to lead" is hurting veterans and diminishing America's standing in the world.
Anticipating McCain's comments, Breen said the long-serving senator's views on national security are no longer in the "mainstream." As examples, he said McCain is pushing for the country to extend its military presence in Afghanistan, to intervene in the conflict in Syria and to threaten military engagement in Iran.
"I think if you ask most Americans, they'll agree that we've got to exhaust all possible options prior to starting another war in the Middle East, or two, or three, as John McCain would advocate — as many of Romney's advisers would advocate," Breen said.
Democrats have seized on foreign policy as an area where they believe the president will be compared favorably to his opponent. It was under Obama's watch that Osama bin Laden was killed, and the Iraq War came to a close.
On foreign policy and national security issues, Breen said the president has demonstrated "wisdom" and "strength" as commander-in-chief, capturing or killing 23 of 30 top al-Qaida commanders, and providing support in Libya that facilitated the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi, while suffering the loss of only one robotic helicopter in American casualties.
However, Obama has also been criticized by McCain, the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and others for his handling of some of aspects the turmoil in the Middle East. McCain has called on Obama to take a stronger stance against Iran regarding the development of its nuclear program, and to reaffirm the country's military and diplomatic support for Israel.
Discussing the Iranian threat, Breen said it's important to note that not even the Israelis have gone the route of laying out a so-called "red line" for Iran — a point of technological development that would trigger a military response to stop the nuclear program.
Obama's critics have also failed to articulate an alternative policy on Iran, Breen said. He called the economic sanctions already in place "the harshest sanctions in the history of the human race," and said the country's banking system is teetering on collapse.
"There's a lot going on," Breen said. "I think Iran has also been told multiple, multiple times by this president that all options, including military force, are on the table. But President Obama is not going to rush recklessly into a war with Iran. I think that's very, very smart."
McLaughlin was the state attorney general from 1997 to 2002. He served in the U.S. Navy during the late 1960s and the reserves during the early 1970s. Two of his three sons became U.S. Marines, and both were at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, he said.
McLaughlin said he was compelled to campaign for Obama because veterans haven't always had the kind of appreciation they feel now under the leadership of the president and First Lady Michelle Obama.
"She speaks so honestly and connects so well with the veterans who are coming back ," McLaughlin said. "She connects with them, and they feel a sense of support there, and it's enormously different than it has been in the past."
He also highlighted a pair of tax credits ushered in by Obama that equate to "real progress" for veterans: the "Returning Heroes" tax credit, which gives businesses up to $5,600 in return for hiring an unemployed veteran; and the "Wounded Warriors" tax credit, which provides up to $9,600 for businesses that hire veterans with service-connected disabilities.
"Those are the kinds of considerations that I think people too frequently do not associate with the Obama administration, and I think they should associate with the Obama administration," he said.
Dems: Obama boosting national security, helping veterans
PORTSMOUTH — A Seacoast native with foreign policy expertise and a former New Hampshire Attorney General made the case Monday that President Barack Obama is the best choice for veterans in the 2012 presidential race.
