Artist BioRancid is an American punk rock band formed in Berkeley, California, in 1991. Founded by 80s punk veterans Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, who previously played in the highly influential ska punk band Operation Ivy, Rancid is credited—along with Green Day, The Offspring, Bad Religion, NOFX, and Social Distortion—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s. Unlike many of their contemporaries, however, Rancid remained signed to an independent record label and retained much of its original fan-base, most of which was connected to its underground roots.[2]24f8d8a5-269b-475c-a1cb-792990b0b2ee

No Sign That Vitamin D Supplements Help Aging Bones: Study
Large data review found no effect against osteoporosis at most sites tested in healthy adults
THURSDAY, Oct. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Taking vitamin D supplements does not prevent the bone weakening of osteoporosis in healthy adults, a new review finds.
Nearly half of people aged 50 and older use vitamin D supplements, but these findings suggest that there is no need for healthy adults to take these supplements to combat osteoporosis. Instead, the use of these supplements should be focused only on people who are likely to be vitamin D deficient, the New Zealand researchers said.
One expert in the United States agreed with that advice.
"The review supports previous studies that found that vitamin D alone is not preventative in healthy adults," said Victoria Richards, an assistant professor of medical sciences at the Netter School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn. "From this study, consumers may no longer feel the need to continue purchasing vitamin D supplements for the prevention of osteoporosis," she said.
Researchers led by Ian Reid of the University of Auckland looked through data from 23 studies that included a total of more than 4,000 healthy adults, average age 59.
The data turned up no evidence that taking vitamin D for an average of two years improved bone mineral density at the hip, spine, forearm or the body as a whole.
Bone mineral density measures the amount of bone mineral present at different sites and is used to assess bone strength.
The only significant increase in bone density (0.8 percent) in people taking vitamin D supplements was seen at the neck of the thigh (femoral) bone, according to the findings published online Oct. 10 in The Lancet.
There is "very little evidence of an overall benefit of vitamin D supplementation on bone density," the researchers said, and "continuing widespread use of vitamin D for osteoporosis prevention in community-dwelling adults without specific risk factors for vitamin D deficiency seems to be inappropriate."
But another expert said the decision to take vitamin D still rests with the individual.
"From a medical perspective, the answer as to whether one should supplement is an individual one that is best discussed with a patient's primary care provider," said Dr. Neil Roth, an orthopedic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "One must also weigh the potential downside for supplementation, and in this case there is very little harm in taking vitamin D for a healthy individual."
Therefore, for some, "the potential benefit to supplement may outweigh the economic downside to supplementing, but that should be determined on an individual basis," Roth said.

"Lily, Come on." Matt said tugging on my arm. "No. I have to get her." I said pulling away from him. I ran to my sister on the floor. "Deliah come on." I said tugging on her. She was too heavy. The smoke was burning my eyes. My skin started feeling like it was on fire. "Please, Deliah get up." I said screaming. My lungs were screaming for air. "Deliah looked at me. " "Go, Lily." "Go,Now." She said. I looked at my sister. I kissed her lightly. "I love you." I said in a whisper. I felt someone grab my arm. I looked to see it was Matt. We ran through the house. I fell to the ground. Matt covered me. I heard the explosions. A jolt of pain ran through me. I knew she was gone.
I woke up with a sweat and tears running down my face. "Tap,Tap,Tap" I heard rocks hitting the window. I walked over already knowing it was him. I knew opening the window was wrong. But i needed him. Just to see him. I opened the window. The cool summer air hitting me. He climbed up letting himself in. I looked at him my heart just fluttering from him standing in front of me. I saw the anger in his eyes but i also saw the pain. "So you and Summers Hun?" He said anger in all traces of his voice. "Back to Natalie hun?" I said in the same tone. Matt shook his head. He walked closer to me. "You know she's not important." He said. I looked at him. "Am i important Matt?" I said in an angry tone. But i could even hear the pain in my voice. "I love you Lily." Matt said closing the distance between us. I let the tears fall. "But your not in love with me." I said letting the pain show. "Leave, Matt." I said laying and turning away from him. I felt his warm body curl up to mine. I smelled him. I let the tears fall. Knowing tommorow he wouldnt be mine. Knowing summer was fading and fall was apporaching. Taking Matt away from me.
He climbed through my window. I laid down. He climbed in the bed next to me. His scent was invading everywhere. His warmth welcomed. We fit perfectly together. I closed my eyes. Welcoming sleep. I felt his breathe on my ear. "I love you." He said. I smiled. "I love you too." I said in a whisper.
I woke up. My bed cold. My heart broken even more. My eyes puffy. I hated when i let myself think about him. I got up. I took a hot long shower. I got out. I went to my closet. I decided to wear some rainbow paints. I yellow tee. I plugged in my flat iron and flat ironed my hair. I brushed some gold eye shadow across my eyes. I looked at myself. I looked at my jewlery box. I grabbed my rings. I slid one on each finger. I looked at the last one. My eyes welled with tears.
"The stars are beautiful." I whispered in awe of the beautiful night. Matt rubbed my back. "There not as beautiful as you Lily." He whispered in my ear. I looked up at him. "I'm not beautiful." I whispered. Matt sat us up. He pulled me into his lap. "Look at me." "Lily Marie Stills." "You are the most beautiful person i have met in my 17 years." "You are beautiful inside and out." "You feel every emotion." "Your strong but shy at the same time." "Your funny,strange and Sweet." "You have shown me truly what beauty is inside and out." Matt said looking at me seriously. I let the tears fall. Matt wiped them. "Thankyou." I said in a whisper. I bent in whispering on Matt lips. "Thankyou." I whispered. Matt pressed his lips to mine. He pulled away looking at me. I watched his hand go in his pocket and pull out a light green box. He opened it. It held a pretty green Jeweled ring. He slid in on pinky finger. It fit perfectly. I let the tears fall. Not knowing what to say. I pressed my lips to his. He pulled away. "I love you Lily." He whispered agaisnt my lips. "I love you Matt." I whispered.
My phone vibrated. I knew Suzy was here. I grabbed my stuff and ran outside. I got in the car. I looked at Suzy. She smiled. I looked at her outfit. She had on some blue jeans with pink lace. With a black rainbow buttondown. With some pink booties. Her hair was pulled to the side with full curls and a straight bang. "You look amazing." I said. She looked at me. "You do too." She said giving me a nod of approval. She pulled out of the driveway. "I'm so happy." "It's friday." She groaned. I smiled. "Me too." I said. "Were going to party tonight." Suzy said turning the corner. My stomach dropped. "Suze.." I groaned. "Hey i was gone all summer we need to at least go to one summer bash before summer is over." Suzy said with her puppy dog face. "Okay." "So i'll come over at 8 and well get dressed." I nodded. We pulled into the school parking lot. I looked and met eyes with Matt. He looked amazing as always. Suzy parked. I turned my attention to Ian who was walking to the car. Suzy looked at me smiling. Ian reached the car. "Goodmorning lovely ladies." He said opening my door. "Goodmorning handsome." I said smiling. He took my hand helping me out of the car. I looked down his hand warm. He pulled away quickly. "Here let me take that." He said grabbing my stuff. I smiled. "Hey Lil i'm having lunch with Johnathan today." Suzy said giving me a hinting smile. I looked at her giving her the shutup look. "Okay, Suzy i'll see you later." I said. I looked at Ian. "I can hold my stuff." I said shyly. I grabbed my bag. But he held on to the books. "I'm fine." He said. I smiled. "So since Suzy has lunch plans did you maybe want to have lunch with me?" Ian said nervously. I smiled. "Like a date?" I said. Ian looked at me smiling. "Yes." He said a little more confident. "Yeah, i would like that." I said smiling. We walked into class. Matt was sitting. He was reading but i knew he was listening. Ian set my stuff down. "Thankyou, Sir." I said smiling. "You deserve a tip." I said smiling. "Im sure i could find a way for you to repay." Ian said stepping closer to me. My stomach dropped but my heart was fluttering. I smiled. "Icecream?" I said breaking the moment. I felt Matt's eyes burning into me. Ian laughed. Ian bent down and kissed me lightly on the cheek. His hips were soft. I smiled. He looked at me before going to sit down. I smiled. I sat down. I could feel the anger and jealousy coming off of a Matt's body. Class started soon after that. Mr. Roberts started. I felt a nudge in my leg. I saw a piece of paper in my lap.
"I dont want him touching you Lily." Matt scribbled handwriting said. My heart filled with love but also filled with pain.
"Summer's Over." I wrote back.
I felt Matt's eyes land on me. His eyes held pain. My eyes filled with tears. Summer was over. Meaning so was I and Matt.
I hope your enjoying this. Yes it has a twilight connection. So thanks for reading. Please comment.

Today, I am choosing to remember a lot of people. I want to focus on my grandfather, or pappy as I called him, William F. S. Carl.
William F. S. Carl, 68, of 301 S. 7th St, Emmaus, was pronounced dead Monday at Lehigh Valley Hospital Center after being stricken while clearing snow at his home. He was the husband of Loraine J. (Meitzler) Carl.
He was a crane operate for the Fuller Co., Allentown plant, for many years before retiring in 1985.
Born in Emmaus, he was the song of the late Morris and Helen (Stewart) Carl.
He was a member of Emmaus Moravian Church.
He was an army veteran of World War II.
I was 7 when he passed away. I don't remember much of him. I do remember my brother, my sister, and I going to their house on S 7th St and I would be the only one who would say, "Hi Pappy!" He would say, "Well, there goes the will!"
Now, 21 years later, I wish I knew him better. I would've loved to hear his war stories. I have his patch from his army uniform. Mom told me some things about him. He was a part of the the Polar Bears. He was stationed in Alaska.
I also know that he liked photography and electronics. I have his old Kodak Retina IIIc and sometimes I hold it next to my Olympus and think, "Damn, he would be all over my camera."
So, there is my salute to Pappy. I've only known him for a few years of my life but I'm very happy that I did get to know him.

Long Island Rail Road maintenance department wins safety award
The Long Island Rail Road earlier in June won a national award for safety from a leading transportation advocacy group.
The award was one of three the Metropolitan Transportation Authority won for rail safety and security from the American Public Transportation Association during its annual rail conference.
New York City Transit took home awards for its maintenance program and its graffiti prevention unit.
The LIRR received the gold award for safety in the commuter rail category for its Maintenance of Equipment Department. Reliability of the system has increased 400 percent over the past decade, and the LIRR is now operating at nearly 200,000 miles between failures due to its efficiency, according to a release by the MTA, which announced the awards.
"Many Maintenance of Equipment shops and yards work 24/7 and employees often work outdoors in all weather and lighting conditions," LIRR president Helena Williams said in a statement. "Yard employees endure cold temperatures, snow and ice in the winter and extreme heat in the summer." Williams accepted the award.
NYC Transit won a gold award for safety for the FastTrack maintenance program, which shuts down portions of an entire subway line for a four-day block. The nightly seven-hour shifts have enhanced worker safety and increased maintenance productivity. FastTrack saved the MTA $16 million in 2012, the release stated.
NYC Transit also won a gold award for security for its Eagle Team anti-graffiti unit. From 2010 to 2012, major incidents that took trains out of service for cleaning were down 28.8 percent, according to the release.

Peaceful winter get-a-way
Our purpose to travel to the area was to enjoy peace and quiet. We found that at this house, along with all the comforts we wanted. The house was as good in reality as it appeared on line. We enjoyed some ski activities on Maverick Mountain, rented snowmobiles, did some snowshoeing, and watched over 2 feet of snow fall during our 8 day stay. The area is a great little secret that I hope stays a long time. We will be back. Lyle from Iowa.
Good times!!
Hi Inge, I just wanted to say thank you. We feel so lucky to have found such a great get away. I have stayed here twice. The first time was a girls night out. What a great time we had! The accomodations were so nice and having the hot springs a short walk away was perfect. The second time was with my husband and boys. We spent a day checking out the ghost town and dug for crystals the next day and still had time for some rest and relaxation. I can't wait to take my family there this fall.

So what is Gov 2.0? This past week saw wide-ranging discussion about the meaning, substance and relevance of the term, along with plenty of other news related to social media in government, open data, improved crisis response through technology and a move to the cloud.
Tim O'Reilly went live online to talk about his paradigm for government as a platform, including how technologists can play key roles in this important transformation. You can also read Tim's thoughts on open government at O'Reilly Labs. The recording is embedded below, after the jump. J.D. Lasica wrote a terrific review of both "Open Government" and the webcast.
Mark Drapeau took a look back at the three phases of government 2.0 as the first Gov 2.0 Expo draws near. Federal News Radio anchor Chris Dorobek also stepped back and published an important "mile high" perspective in his Gov 2.0 status report. Time to get ready for the Gov 2.0 Expo!
What does "Government 2.0″ mean?
The simplest way of describing Government 2.0 may be any technology that helps citizens or agencies solve problems, either for individuals or the community, and enables government to operate more efficiently or effectively. This past week, I wrote about five ways that the U.S. government is using social media to deliver services or engage citizens in making better policy.
Craig Newmark shared his thoughts on better government through enlightened customer service, along with the complexities of electronic privacy, online identity and trust.
Exploring what's next in open government
This past week, we also featured an interview with the director of open government at the White House Office and Science Technology Policy, Beth Noveck, on participation, collaboration and next steps for open government. Noveck highlighted Crisis Commons and its distributed collaboration with government in disaster response, along with a number of other ways participatory democracy can be enabled by technology.
What would change if information sharing became the rule rather than the exception? Maxine Teller considered the scope of open government at the Department of Defense.
Could there be better government through code? Code for America founder Jennifer Pahlka wants to empower developers to become civic coders. "Ask not what your country can code for you — ask what you can code for your country."
When it comes to new media, the @Smithsonian is all in. James Turner posted a terrific interview with Michael Edson on how the Smithsonian uses crowdsourcing and transparency to further its mission.
National Lab Day was celebrated around the country yesterday. NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden blogged about National Lab Day at WhiteHouse.gov.
In a speech delivered to the Free Press Summit at the Newseum, F.C.C. commissioner Mignon Clyburn said that "a thriving democracy depends on an actively engaged, informed public," emphasizing that "two-way conversation is essential for good governance." That dialogue continues at Reboot.FCC.gov.
Recovery.gov 2.0 is in the cloud
The White House moved Recovery.com to the cloud, shifting hosting to Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud. The move is "one of the first bricks in the foundation," said federal CIO Vivek Kundra during the press conference. "Part of what we're trying to introduce is Darwinian pressure in federal IT." Gartner analyst Andrea Di Maio wondered, however, if the move to Recovery was really the first time a .gov was hosted in the cloud.
Crisis Response 2.0: Haiti, Tennessee and the Gulf Oil Spill
The State Department hosted its first Ignite-style meetup, hosted by Radar's own Brady Forrest. The Haiti Tech meetup featured rapid-fire talks and panels on the innovative response of the technology community to the earthquake in Haiti.
While Haiti is still is in tough shape, the attention of the government agencies, media and first responders has necessarily moved to addressing the growing environmental catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico and record flooding in Tennessee. FEMA and TEMA set up a Facebook information page for the Tennessee flood. The flood has now caused an estimated $1.56 billion dollars in damage, along with taking the lives of at least 24 people. The Boston Globe's Big Picture photo blog posted arresting photojournalism of the flooding in Tennessee.
There are many ways to follow the Gulf of Mexico story other than cable news or searching for #oilspill on Twitter. Louisiana has a dedicated channel for all information: the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (@GOHSE). It's an active Twitter stream with maps and detailed information posted continually about the oil spill. The National Wildlife Foundation posted seven ways to use technology and social media to help wildlife impacted by the Gulf oil spill. More information can be found on the main page, where you can download the Google Earth .kmz file of Louisiana from the Governor Office of Homeland Security for Louisiana and make your own map mashups. If you would like to show support for the Louisiana coast, you can download the following image to use for your own Twitter background:
Upcoming Gov 2.0 Events
Aside from the upcoming Gov 2.0 Expo here in DC, there are a number of important events in the near future. The Personal Democracy Forum will be held in New York City on June 3-4.

On the day before Thanksgiving, there are normally long lines at the airport. That wasn't the case this year at the Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids.
The dense fog late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning put a damper on holiday travel.
"Not sure what's going on now, but eventually we will get there," said traveler Mackenzie Jacobs. "Hopefully."
Jacobs and her group were trying to get to a wedding, but found out early Wednesday morning their flight to Chicago was canceled due to the fog.
Phyllis Strabala followed all the travel rules to make her flight smoother, even showing up early to the airport Tuesday night ready to fly out. Mother Nature had other plans.
"Eventually they told us, 'OK, (your) flight (is) going to be not until morning,' so it's like, 'OK, thank heavens I have a daughter here in Cedar Rapids,'" Strabala said. "It's like, 'Hello, you don't know it, but I'm spending the night.'"
The fog began lifting Wednesday morning and, with it, the moods of passengers who found alternative routes to get to their families for the holiday.
"I'm glad that they kept us here rather than be in the air and have something happen," Strabala said. "It's not fun for the pilots either, I'm sure."

A new member benefit for NRPA members, Fund Your Park is a crowdfunding platform designed exclusively for park and recreation agencies.
Whatever your area of interest or expertise, NRPA offers a variety of ways to make meaningful contributions through committees, task forces, and other volunteer opportunities.

physical activity, and support social interaction.
Tools and Resources: Resource sharing allows park and recreation agencies to capitalize on the innovations, successful models, and best practices currently being utilized in the field.
Nearly 17 million children receive subsidized or free meals at school every year. But what happens when school lets out? For years parks and recreation agencies have delivered healthy, nutritious food and provided comprehensive nutritional education programs through summer programs—feeding about 1.1 million children each year. Now, with the help of a $2.1 million grant from the Walmart Foundation, NRPA will support summer feeding programs of 15 park and recreation agencies each year for two year. The grants will make it possible for agencies to serve an estimated 4.9 million meals to children in 2010 and 2011.
Since 1985, America has celebrated July as the nation's official Park and Recreation Month. This July, NRPA wants everyone talking about why parks and recreation are so important in our lives!

These five research papers present evidence on the important impact made by parks and recreation in local communities in America. The papers provide insight into areas of growth, which will enable agencies to adapt to increasing demands and quantify the benefits of their services to local and national decision makers.
NRPA is working with the National Wildlife Federation's 10 Million Kids Outdoors campaign. This initiative will propel us over the next three years toward a future when all kids spend time outside each day, creating a generation of happier, healthier, children with more awareness and connection to the natural world.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stephen Rhodes has ruled the City of Detroit will have to file its plan to restructure 18-billion dollars in debt by March 1st.
The time frame gives the estimated 100-thousand creditors Detroit owes time to object to the bankruptcy filing or negotiate with the city. The judge also set several deadlines for creditors in the largest municipal bankruptcy case filed to date.
Rhodes will hold a conference on Friday to discuss the dates he set with the city and creditors. He may also appoint a mediator to handle disputes between the city and creditors which could include the valuation of the city's pension funds.

BUYER BEWARE by TDI on 04/03/2012. Trim: 2011 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L 4 Door TDI, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Performance and Handling
Cons: VW warranty VW dealers .
Overall review: 10,000 miles TDI review covering 9 months. At 300 miles a tire blew out; WV / Continential would not replace. We purchased a new tire. 6 weeks, The paint starting flaking. At 10,000 miles the paint continues to flake. WV says its not their problem.
Review ID: #557316 Is this review offensive?
Our Best Buy Yet!!! by Perry on 12/25/2011. Trim: 2011 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L 2 Door TDI, Owned 1 year.
Pros: This is our first diesel powered vehicle and with fuel prices today, I'm sure not our last. The 2.0L engine driven by a 6 speed manual transmission is a perfect combination. Driving this car in it's mother country (Germany) gives the owner a perfect opportunity to rate and rank it among the competitors like Mercedes, BMW, or even Opel. The power, handling, agility, and size make it a excellent vehicle in all driving conditions. Autobahn highways are all but flat and straight; driving this car makes no differnece how the road is shaped. The 140 hp engine can stay at top speeds (80-100 mph) all day long!
Cons: With only European delivery available in my particular case, I was not able to obtain some of the dealership niceties that are available or installed such as the sunroof, xenon headlamps, ground effects kit, etc. Pretty tough to swallow, since the car is built here in Germany.
Overall review: For approximately $ 3000.00 more over the gasoline base price model, the TDI is well earned money spent. Options like 17" wheels, multi-function steering wheel, lowered-sport suspension, 6 speed tansmission, touch screen multi-CD player etc., etc., etc., make the TDI model the best bang for the buck! Having owned this car for over 16 months, the "Blue Motion" TDI has a clean tailpipe just as when I first bought it!

Great Golf by Runchap on 12/21/2011. Trim: 2011 Volkswagen Golf 2.5L 4 Door, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: What don't I like about this vehicle? Having driven several Hondas/Toyotas, the difference is amazing. The Golf takes quiet to a new level for a small car. The interior materials are definitiely a cut above. Handling is precise, with an excellent balance between road-feel and comfort. This is such a sleeper car, since the styling is decidedly understated, but clean and functional. I installed custom wheels on my mini-beast. which enhances an aggressive look. If this car turns out to be reliable, like the others I've owned, V-dub has a convert.
Cons: You have to manually turn off the headlights; would be nice if they automatically shut off after a couple of minutes. The gas mileage is decent, averaging a little over 29(mostly city) mpg; could be a tad better.
Overall review: Best overall car I've owned, since the hatchback design allows lots of cargo. You might pay somewhat more for the Golf than you would the competitors. Trust me, it's worth it!

What a Undiscovered Star of a Car! by Ithndr from Roanoke, VA on 11/01/2011. Trim: 2011 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L 2 Door TDI, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Fuel economy, engine performance, handling, ride, exterior appearance, interior quality, driver/passenger seats, 6 speed, multi-position sunroof, cargo space, head/shoulder/leg room, dash layout.
Cons: Rear hatch does not unlock with the other doors, awkward non-feature. I didn't know about the car sooner.
Overall review: This is a fuel efficient, drivers car, with quality materials/fit-n-finish. You will not be disappointed if you like VW's and Audi's. I have owned several of both, including BMW's and this car could wear any badge and make it proud. It really is a lot of fun to drive, but if that is not your thing it will make your spouse a very fuel sipping commuter. It is built in Wolfsburg, Germany, not Puebla, Mexico like its cousin the Jetta. You really won't believe the handling and the power the TDi brings at those MPG's mated to a short throw manual 6 speed. Buy it!

i luv my dub by me on 05/26/2012. Trim: 2011 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L 4 Door TDI, Owned 1 year.
Pros: one of my favorite cars I have owned It is like driving an audi at a vw price. I bought a diesel and with the correct driving style you can easly get 50mpg. The car has so much torque and the dsg is fun to drive that i can't drive slow.
Cons: I splurged for the navigation package and thought it was great until i drove my cousins ford. my nav system is not up to the level of the systems out there. I love but also hate the dsg it can be clunky and mine misses a gear now and again. the dealer said they can not find anything but I never trust the dealer
Overall review: the vw golf is the quintessential vw quirky odd and fun to drive

- Oh my tha porkchopmcpaleoDined on 9/14/2014So, there are several places called Perry's and I like them all... but this one is a fabulous steak house. I would recommend getting the 3 course special on any Sunday night. The salad was fresh and tasty, the service was exemplary, the seven finger pork chop was fantastic, and the most surprising thing was the trio of deserts was fantabulous! So, you say you want to hear more about this seven finger pork chop!!! Well, they prepare it table side, by breaking it into the 3 distinct cuts of meat. They educate you on how to best dress and eat the different types. Then they leave you alone to grunt and sing happily in your seat as you dig into the wonderful paleo treasure!Special Features:

The lobster bisque was out of this world!! The famous porkchop however.....was inedible. My first few bites were nothing but fat.....skip that..move to the next peice, the same fatty texture. Geeze, as I was hoping that mine was the only bad chop, my sister says she would like to take the rest to go.........

We love the food, ambiance, service and overall entire experience. Thank you for helping me make my wife's 60th birthday a special event!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad serviceLadyplus1Dined on 9/3/2014My daughter and I took my Mom to Perry's for her 67 bday. The waiter was so rude to us, when we would say thank you he wouldn't say anything back to us as a ok or your welcome. I was so mad because my mom felt as though she wasn't welcomed there. I wanted to say something but didn't want to ruin her day. On the other hand the food was excellent!! So I will report the waiters behavior to the manager but not sure if we will be going back. I've always given Perry's high ratings until this visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classy!justswankyenoughDined on 8/31/2014Perry's was a great spot to celebrate our anniversary. Good location, great service, nice ambiance. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.Special Features:
- Over-ratedOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/31/2014It took three atempts to get a steak to the right temp. The food wasn't bad, but with the ratings this restaurant has, I was very underwhelmed.
- Pork Chop ParadiseDoctorJohnDined on 8/31/2014Have been here 3 times, and just can't prevent myself from ordering the pork chop. It is the biggest, juiciest, and tastiest pork chop I have ever eaten...by FAR! The mac and cheese is also noteworthy, as is the calamari. Service is nice, ambience perfect for foodies of all ages.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Adult AtmospherePickyDined on 8/30/2014The food is always awesome. Our waiter was fantastic. Quality service is hard to find, but we received excellent service. This truly made a difference to our overall experience. If you looking for an upscale experience with quality food, I would recommend Perry's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, Bad ServiceDallasfoodieVIPDined on 8/30/2014We have been to Perry's many times and really love their food, especially their pork chop. Unfortunately, this time the service was terrible. Took 10 minutes for the waitress to take our cocktail order, and drinks didn't arrive until After our salad! Also, I ordered my wedge salad with dressing on the side, and it came covered in dressing with blue cheese on the side. While finishing our salads, our entrees arrived, and we were still waiting for the bottle of wine we ordered to enjoy with dinner. Then one of the managers came over to question us on which wine we ordered!! The waitress was obviously new, but this was ridiculous! She should not have been working on a busy Saturday night. We will go back since the food is wonderful.Special Features:
- Great Meal - Nice PeopleDJWallVIPDined on 8/30/2014Had a very nice waiter, Josh on Saturday night. He was pleasant and had just the right level of attentiveness. Food was outstanding. Highly recommend Perry's!Special Features:
- New fave!StanVIPDined on 8/30/2014Loved our first dining experience at Perry's!!! Caesar salad was very good with a nice kick of garlic just the way we like it. (Literally, one of the best we've had in awhile.) Both the filet mignon and the 7-finger high pork chop were excellent. (The pork chop was carved tableside and a must try.) Make sure you save room for dessert. The trio of cheesecake, crème brulee, truffle were great small sweet treats. Special thanks to KIARA for excellent service.Special Features:
- Pork Chopthe4rojosVIPDined on 8/29/2014Who, in their right mind, gets a pork chop at a steakhouse? Not me, usually. However, this time I decided to go off course. They sell 500 a day, he said. I read several reviews about this famous pork chop. It takes three days to prepare and cook, it's 28 ounces, it's delicious, they all said. Wow! They weren't kidding! Long gone is my idea that pork chops are dry, bland pieces of meat just bought by families on a budget. This piece of meat was off the chain! It was like nothing I've ever eaten. Unforgettable. Moist, flavorful and delicious... I shall return for the pork chop. Don't forget those scalloped potatoes either. YUM!Special Features:
- Outstanding ExperienceMckeeNoleDined on 8/29/2014The atmosphere, service, and food were all outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday Pork Chops!!ScooperDined on 8/29/2014We took my dad to Perry's for a birthday lunch and the Friday Pork Chop special, and OMG!! That pork chop was like butter! SO FREAKIN DELICIOUS!!!!! Our waiter (Cody) was wonderful! He was so attentive and knowledgeable! Thank you for making this a wonderful celebration of my dad's birthday!Special Features:
- Best Friday Lunch & after 4 DinnersErikDallasDined on 8/29/2014Can not beat their specials. Lunch Pork is to die for, and Friday it is on special. Their after 4 multi course meal is also a deal. Wine list is extensive (they have to make money some how). Our server Joel was the best, took great care of us, not to fast not too slow, made great recommendations, everything he said was spot on and the meal, wine pairing, beer and desert were all perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week ExperienceJoeyGDined on 8/27/2014We were a group of 4, with three steaks and one pork chop ordered. The wine list was short in length yet offered a variety of pleasures. Desiree' suggested a wonderful Pinot and we were off. Perrys' was quite busy for a Wednesday evening, with business groups everywhere. Energy of staff, with a shout out to our lead server, Desiree', was efficient with full and coverage. Sadly runners seemed to be cutting the pork chop and serving without offering the knowledge of the how and why of the components of the seven fingers. It was shared later by server. Although we were there two hours it seemed like the blink of the eye sitting around your dining room table.Special Features:
- Great RestaurantElegantDinerDined on 8/26/2014I have always liked to dine at Perry's and once again, I was not disappointed. The atmosphere is elegant, but relaxed. The wait staff are all very friendly and accommodating, and the food is excellent as usual. Their pork chops are outstanding as far as both the presentation of the dish and the taste. I had their steak which was done just perfectly. We were celebrating a birthday. I would recommend this restaurant for any special occasion, or simply for a special relaxing dinner.Special Features:
- Impressive dinner serviceMh309ChrsDined on 8/24/2014My partner and I chose to dine at Perrys restaurant because of the reviews we had read on-line. We were impressed with the service, food and wait staff. The pork chops were cooked to perfection as well as other sides we ordered. We will definitely come back to dine at Perrys very soon. In fact, we're planning a birthday and or anniversary dinner there soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- anniversary dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/24/2014This was our first time at Perry's, we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. The food was outstanding and such great portions for the price. They are known for their pork chops,its definitely worth a try but be prepared to take it home because you will not finish it all. Their side dishes are just ok, nothing too great. overall a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/24/2014Service was initially very good and then I think the waiter forgot about us.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TotallysatisfiedDined on 8/24/2014Service was superb, great ambience, food was beyond delicious. We tried the famous pork chops, bone in rib eye, and salmon. All cooked to perfection. Look forward to going back and trying other dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Legendary Pork ChopMikeDined on 8/24/2014Perry's is known for their pork chop and I cannot imagine getting anything else. It is massive and can easily be shared between two people. They have a good selection of sides that are served family style, so it is definitely feasible to find an appetizer to split, the pork chop, a couple sides, and possibly dessert to serve two people. I have been previously where someone in my party ordered a steak and while it was good, it was nothing special. The pork chop definitely is something special and is a must try. The price for the lunch portion is an absolute deal if you can manage to set aside the time to visit during a weekday.Special Features:
- Outstanding Food and ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2003Dined on 8/24/2014We really enjoyed Perry's. The food was outstanding and a sufficient amount of food. The service was great and we got lucky and went for Restaurant Month and enjoyed 3 courses. Let's not forget how beautiful the restaurant itself is! We will be back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Walmart's record for labor law violations at its Connecticut construction sites wasn't too pretty before, and it seems to be getting uglier all the time.
State labor officials say one of Walmart's subcontractors at a Hartford job now owes its workers about $60,000 in back wages. That comes on top of a laundry list of citations for labor violations at various Walmart construction sites around Connecticut in the past year, including one involving severe injuries to a worker.
Neither Walmart nor its general contractor have been cited for violations in any of these cases, according to state and union officials, because state law doesn't allow it.
One union activist argues Connecticut needs legislative changes to stem what has become an epidemic of construction labor violations that goes far beyond Walmart projects. Labor officials say financially desperate contractors and subcontractors at sites all over Connecticut are cutting costs by ignoring laws meant to protect workers.
The offending Walmart subcontractor this time around is Omega Electric out of Waterbury. Omega's representatives have told the state they weren't able to pay their employees because Walmart's general contractor (Callahan Inc. of Bridgewater, Mass.) allegedly failed to pay Omega what it was owed. A top Callahan official denies Omega is owed anything, and says it has been paid $2 million for its work on the Walmart project.
"They've missed some paydays... over the past three months," Gary Pechie, director of the state's wage and workplace standards unit, says of Omega's problems. Pechie says he's been informed that Omega ended up laying off something like 40 workers because of its financial troubles. "We have no authority to go after Callahan or Walmart," says Pechie.
Omega officials failed to return repeated requests for comment on this story.
Patrick Callahan, president of Callahan Inc., said in an e-mailed statement that his company "terminated Omega for failure to perform their work and for having their permit terminated by the City of Hartford... We also took the additional step of ensuring that their employees were paid."
According to Callahan, his company sent a check to Omega's attorney to cover the $60,000 in back wages after Callahan found out that there were payroll problems. He added that any money owed by Omega to its employees at this point "is unrelated to us."
Pechie points out that allegations by subcontractors of non-payment for work performed crop up all the time at construction sites across the state, and the general contractors invariably claim the work wasn't done properly or on time.
"They all play these games," Pechie says, "and in the meantime, the workers are suffering."
Connecticut labor inspectors have issued hundreds of stop-work orders to construction subcontractors in the last few years, and collected about $600,000 in fines since 2007.
State and union officials say this epidemic of labor violations involves non-payment of wages, failure to provide workers' compensation, and dodging state unemployment taxes.
In Pechie's view, these companies take a "calculated risk that they won't get caught… and if they do, they just pay up."
Walmart is the largest private employer in the United States, and it has been involved in a variety of construction and renovation jobs at store locations around Connecticut in the last two years.
State labor officials have cited 11 different Walmart subcontractors for labor violations in the past 15 months. Those stop-work orders have been issued at Walmart sites in Hartford, Danbury, Naugatuck, Putnam, and Brooklyn.
In August, a worker for a subcontractor at the Walmart renovation project in Hartford fell and broke his leg and his pelvis. (An earlier Advocate story incorrectly listed his injuries as two broken legs.)
A stop-work order was issued to the subcontractor, Anthony Construction, for failing to have workers' compensation for its employees. Pechie says that company was attempting to claim its full-time workers were "independent contractors" and thus exempt from workers' compensation.
Pechie says that worker has now been transferred to a hospital in Boston for additional surgery. State officials declined to provide the worker's name but said he is a U.S. citizen.

Icon PLC Stock Upgraded (ICLR)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 1.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 18.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Life Sciences Tools & Services industry. The net income increased by 766.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$2.66 million to $17.74 million.
- 35.80% is the gross profit margin for ICON PLC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 6.20% trails the industry average.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 825.00% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 62.29% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.
- ICON PLC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ICON PLC reported lower earnings of $0.38 versus $1.44 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.98 versus $0.38).
