Good morning, I recently purchased your Sweet Orange Styling gel and I want to say it is a wonderful product. I have a short haircut and so many things make my hair so greasy or weighed down. I have fine textured hair but I have a lot of it so I was looking for something to put in my hair after a shower to give it manageability before using the product I use for a textured look. Your product is phenonmenal!!!!! It smells divine..and is not greasy even with over use and does not dry out my hair. Fantastic!! Your styling gel is the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!
I have recently become interested in organic products. I love your Honey and Hibiscus Hair Restructuring Shampoo and decided to try the Sweet Orange and Silk Protein Styling Gel. To be honest, I wasn't sure how effective an organic product would be for volume and hold. I was very pleasantly surprised! This is now my favorite styling product. I had some of my previous product (another line) left over and was going to use it so as not to be wasteful but after getting such superior results from JMO styling gel, my previous product went in the trash. Thanks for making such a great product!
I absolutely LOVE your Sweet Orange & Silk Styling Gel!!! It is an AMAZING hair gel. I can't tell you how far and wide I've searched to find the right product. Since I've used this, so many people have commented on how thick my hair looks. I have fine hair- this gives it the perfect texture. I absolutely love this product. There is nothing on the market that comes close. It really is the best. It does not weigh my long hair down and gives it lots of body as well. LOVE IT! Thank you!
In an era where I've come to regard advertising as exploitation and manipulation, the JMO products are a breath of fresh air. From beautiful containers to contents that do what the beautiful packaging says they will do, I absolutely love all of the JMO hair and skin products! It was not long ago that I discovered them, but now I'll never be without them. A recent discovery is the Sweet Orange & Silk Protein Styling Gel. Finally a styling product that works on my hair! Controls in the best sense of the word (softens, smoothes and adds shine without the weight). Smells great too as do all of the JMO products! Thank you, John, for the most incredible product line I have ever encountered. And that it is environmentally responsible is both a prerequisite and icing on the cake for me. I applaud your high standards and vision.
I have very fine, shoulder-length hair, and this gel reallly gives it body! I love it!

I never feel compelled to contact companies about their products, but i will make an exception for you! I have naturally wavy hair that has been damaged beyond belief from a few bad bleach jobs followed by years of dyeing to try and get back to my normal hair colour... I am very eco-conscious, and have had SUCH a hard time trying to find products that actually are green, and not just say it. I did some research and found your company. I decided to try the protein gel and texturizer and I am amazed! Never has my hair felt soft and touchable after products and diffusing. I seriously cannot believe the difference after one use. I am hooked, and will never go back. Thank you for making products that are actually good for us :)
-A forever fan, Megan.
I tried the sweet orange hair gel after trying tons of products and this one seems to work for me, I have seborrhea since the day I was born and not only this gel is great for styling but also stopped the itching. Thanks a lot.
Well, I have tried many different 'natural' and 'organic' hair products over the years and yours absolutely CRUSHES them all! I just finished using the Lavender Rosemary Shampoo with the Honey and Hibiscus Hair Reconstructor and I am in love. I have naturally curly hair so to find something that works is nearly impossible. My mother purchased your styling gel (which I like to use also) and you had sent along samples...long story short I convinced the owner of my food co-op here in town to carry your line, now that she does I never have to be without! I am a political/Christian songwriter and am so up on the poisoning of our minds and bodies, I just want to thank you for making such a beautiful product. Blessings,
-Lisa Heinrichs
I just wanted to tell you thank you for making sensational products. My husband and I both love them! Your silk protein gel and orange/bourbon styling formula just re-awakened what I thought was a horrible haircut. Thank you for the free shipping, and for creating a product that is actually not harmful to one's health! I wish I lived in NYC. THANKS!!! Missing the big city in Raleigh, NC,
John Masters Organics sells an amazing line of products! the citrus neroli conditioner and silk protein styling gel will get you hooked on trying the entire line. all very high-end yet moderately priced and the glass bottles are wonderful to reuse once they're empty. since a little goes a long way with this line, they are a great value. i love the way my skin and hair look and feel since using this line. the company itself is a true environmental steward and you will be very impressed with the entire experience of odering from this company. i sell natural and organic bodycare at my workplace and i have tried a variety of nice products. john masters organics are the most "wow" line i've ever used. A+ for the company and the products!
I have recently purchased several of your haircare products at Whole Foods in Arlington, VA and have been very pleased. The hair gel and the intensive conditioner are both outstanding products.
In an endless search for truly organic hair care products that WORK (something I've been trying to find since I started my quest this past February) I saw something in the Green Guide and went to your website. I was surprised to find that a new, local organic store carried your line, so I was able to buy the John Masters Sweet Orange Styling Gel . I LOVE IT! I went to the website again to see your entire line. In doing so, I read a little more...and especially enjoyed the parts about Maya and Amber. I, too, have/had a beloved Golden Retriever that passed away due to complications of osteosarcoma in August 2006. So, I was touched by the photos (and brief story) of Amber. Thanks for your labor of love to provide the rest of us with truly chemical free products that really work. Best wishes!
I found Sweet Orange and Vanilla Hair Gel at Whole Foods. I have been in love with your hair products ever since. Thanks to your organic ingredients and great formulas, my hair looks healthier than ever! I look forward to seeing the same great results with your skincare.
It is so wonderful to see a product, an excellent product at that, which is without all the toxic chemicals and substances usually associated with gels etc. Compliments and congratulations on your wonderful work, you are a worthy example toward the (re)greening of our friendly planet. I use the sweet orange and silk protein gel and have never found a better product for fine hair!! Love you people and your product. Keep up the great work!
I am a long-term customer and wanted to let John know how much I still enjoy the Sweet Orange and Silk Protein Styling Gel. I noticed recently that the formula had been changed with a hefty dose of aloe and the Japanese honeysuckle. I can tell the difference in my hair and it is SO welcome. I had noticed on the last two bottles I used that the hold was not nearly as good and I couldn't figure out why. My hair is very thick, very wavy and quite long. I really thought it was something I was doing, but could not figure it out. When I tried the recent formula, I noticed that my hair had more hold. My waves looked awesome:) And, my hair was silky soft and so very shiny. I also want to make my standing request: please make a larger size. I tend to buy those bottles about every 3 months and it's gotten to the point where I have put you in my budget:) The last comment is that I actually had a stylist ask me what was the gel I was using in my hair. She had given me a trim and I told her that I used your product and now she is recommending it to her customers. She told me some of the others with polymers were breaking off her customers' hair, including the men. That was the reason I started using your product. I am always pleased to read about John and the company. You always put a smile on my face and I so appreciate your products. Much Love.

Man faces felony trespassing chargeOctober 02,2013Man faces felony
trespassing charge
BENNINGTON A local man is facing a felony charge after a woman told police he came into her home Aug. 29 and trashed it.
Tylor McDonald, 21, of Bennington, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court Monday on a felony count of unlawful trespass into an occupied home. He pleaded innocent and was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Officer Thalia Hudson of the Bennington Police Department said she went to a womans home around 12:35 a.m. Aug. 29 after the woman reported that McDonald had come into her home and flipped over furniture.
The woman told Hudson that McDonald had tried to get into her home but she wouldnt let him in and told him to leave. However, the back window was open and McDonald was able to get inside.
The woman called a friend for help and the friend also told police she saw McDonald in the house.
According to the woman, McDonald flipped the furniture over because he was mad.
McDonald had been served a no trespass, order which forbade him from being at the womans home July 27.
According to Hudson, McDonald was convicted in March of unlawful trespass onto land, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...

We're sports fans. We follow the teams we love and proclaim allegiance with branded clothing, caps, posters, and even license plates. Maybe we participated in baseball, football, basketball, hockey, or a number of other sports in high school or college. Now, as spectators, we watch the professionals play and wonder what it would be like to be among them.
Other Fantasy Sports Camps
Many professional baseball teams have fantasy camps, but if being on the diamond isn't your thing, there are other opportunities, with a wide price range, in a variety of sports.
Basketball enthusiasts can choose from a number of options, with camps led by Dwyane Wade, John Calipari, Bill Self, and Mike Krzyzewski.
In football, the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL and college teams Auburn, Michigan State, Miami, USC, Notre Dame, Penn State, and Mississippi are among those conducting camps. Information on each is available via Internet search.
Wayne Gretzky runs a hockey fantasy camp.
Chris Evert and John Newcombe cater to lovers of tennis.
The Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer has a fantasy camp for adults.
Have a need for speed? Check out Richard Petty's fantasy racing camp.
Enter fantasy sports camps. Just about any pro sport you can name has a related camp where you can jump on the field, court, rink, or track along with your sports heroes. Pass the puck to Wayne Gretzky. Fire your curve ball to Robin Yount. Defend the lane against Michael Jordan. Protect your line against Richard Petty. Fantasies like these can all come true!
We asked David Wilhelm, St. Louis Cardinals beat writer for the Belleville News-Democrat, to tell us about chasing such fantasies at the annual Cardinals camp.
For Brian Black of Dyersburg, Tennessee, any preconceived notions about what a baseball fantasy camp would be like were immediately pitched out the window.
Black, 38, a third-generation St. Louis Cardinals fan, attended the team's camp at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Florida, for the first time in January 2013. Everywhere Black looked were reminders of the glorious 1980s. Hall of Famers Ozzie Smith and Bruce Sutter. Danny Cox. Ken Dayley. Rick Horton. John Costello.
Sprinkled into the mix were other former Cardinals, all of them familiar to Black. Lou Brock, another Hall of Famer. Al Hrabosky. Andy Benes. Alan Benes. Gary Bennett. Brad Thompson. John Mabry. Jason Simontacchi.
Black took a deep breath. Then another.
"You've got to get your emotions under tap when you first get there. You're excited. You're nervous. You don't know what to expect," said Black, who was joined by about 100 other campers. "Some of them are starstruck. I was, too, at first. I idolized (the players) growing up. When you're little, you see them as superheroes."
But, suddenly, these superheroes weren't baseball players. They were people who played baseball. They were Black's friends.
"I first walked in and there was Hrabosky," Black said of the wild-eyed pitcher-turned-broadcaster nicknamed "The Mad Hungarian" for his angry disposition on the field. "I saw Hrabosky pitch, and I got this feeling, 'This guy's going to be a jerk. He's mean. He's ugly,'" Black said, chuckling. "But Al Hrabosky is one of the most kind-hearted people I've ever met in my life. He's awesome. And the Benes brothers, too. These guys are just common, everyday people. They're nice guys. I'm on Facebook with Danny Cox, and we talk back and forth all the time."

The Neil Innes Concert
Lvndr HppE: The last in the line of videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HNCZ3sEUus I'm glad you all enjoyed them!
One of the waitors dropped a glass. I guess it threw his concentration off, so he laughed. lol
Oh, thank you. Thank you both. There are two more I have to put up. I don't know the names of the songs. One of them, it's completely incoherent to hear what he's singing, because the audience is laughing so hard.
Lvndr HppE: Here he is singing "One of those people" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzuSle1OMiI Just posted it to youtube, because I wasn't completely sure about the name of the song.
The glasses were for his song "Godfrey Daniel". lol. Gosh, I wish I had recorded that one. It really is every Elton John song.
upperclasstwit: Thanks for sharing!!! can't believe he was that close to home, and I was that far away!!! *sighs*
I know! And he has a lot of energy for an old man. I brought my dad to the concert, and he fell asleep. Meanwhile, Neil was still signing autographs and chatting with fans when we left.
My dad is just like that. When it comes to that time he usually falls asleep, he falls asleep. I once saw my dad fall asleep standing up, after drinking a large coffee.
My bad. Here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lzkWnA5jq0
thewastelandr: SOOOOO amazing!!! I love them! Did he sign anything for you?? How sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!
He did sign my Rutles dvd. He sang Cheese and Onions, he opened with a little bit of Urban Spaceman, he did Imitation Song, Brave Sir Robin, . . and a few others that I don't remember off the top of my head.
I have to say that the last picture is my favorite. Neil Innes touched my arm!!!!

As you could probably guess, my name is Dror Bekerman. I am 30 years old and live in Israel.
I am self employed and my main focus is online marketing, internet marketing and affiliate marketing.
It took me quite sometime to figure out what it is that I want out of life. I am not sure I figured it out completely yet but I have a general idea that can be summarized in one sentence.
Do WHATEVER I Want,
From WHEREVER I Want,
WHENEVER I Want
I don't really know where I got the urge to be self employed and live life free as I like to call it, as both my parents were hard working individuals (my mom still is, dad no longer with us).
I can just say that I always knew I am not cut out to be a rat inside the rat race of life and I never saw myself as working until i'm 60 for someone else only to find out that I am 60 years old and life just passed me by.
I want to enjoy life as I live it and not at some later point down the road as most of us do (no judgment).
I started working on my own and from home back at 2007 when I teamed up with my big brother, Ronen Bekerman, at his 3D rendering company called Polytown. I was in-charge of the modeling department and Ronen was in-charge of the renderings (among other things).
I later found out that 3D modeling and rendering is not really my passion so I decided to quit and find my own path in life and I set my eyes on making money from the internet.
After all, the WWW pretty much sums up everything I want out of life - WHATEVER, WHEREVER, WHENEVER. I know it actually means something else but how cool is that? The internet really does allow you to do whatever you want, from wherever you want to do it and whenever you want to be doing it.
It didn't took me long to discover eBay at the summer of 2009 and for the next 2 years I was all over eBay making a nice living working from home. But, the day to part ways with eBay came from various reasons and since May 2010 I am a full time internet and affiliate marketer.
It hasn't been easy for me and I am still learning and I am sure that this is what I am going to do from now on. I don't see anything else that excites me as much. I enjoy what I do and I know that I can achieve all my goals and dreams doing this.
It is simply a matter of time. The will is there.
I want to live life free.
I want to be able to do whatever I want, from wherever I want and whenever I want.
I want to determine my life terms.
I want to be free. Truly free.
After all, the meaning of my name, Dror, in Hebrew is FREEDOM, so I guess my path in life was set before I even knew it and I should thank my folks for that, so thanks Mon & Dad :)

Okay but seriously if you are attending college while experiencing any sort of mental illness then you are an impressive human being. Even if you don't always make it to classes. Even if you don't always do your homework or pass all your tests. You are doing something that is incredibly difficult when so many of the odds are against you, and regardless of what you are studying you deserve a Ph.D. in being a total and complete badass.

White Lake was polluted by a number of former manufacturing facilities and also experienced the loss of habitat due to lakeside development. Eight beneficial use impairments caused White Lake to be listed as a Great Lakes Area of Concern in 1987.
MDEQ has determined that environmental conditions in the lake have improved to the point where the beneficial use impairments no longer apply.
MDEQ is now asking EPA to proceed with the necessary steps to officially remove White Lake from the international list of Great Lakes Areas of Concern.
Under Annex 1 of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, EPA in coordination with MDEQ, is soliciting review and comment of the draft Final Delisting Report and the proposed delisting of the Area of Concern.
Several beneficial use impairments in the White Lake Area of Concern have been restored in the past few years.
- February 2013 - the restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption were lifted
- 2012 - three BUIs were removed:
- degradation of benthos
- eutrophication or undesirable algae
- restrictions on drinking water, taste or odor impairments
- September 2011 - restrictions on dredging activities were removed
Because of these successes, White Lake is on track to become an Area of Recovery in October 2013.
The City of Whitehall's Lake Street Reconstruction project will use best watershed management practices to improve storm water quality in the AOC. The "green street" project will use bioswales, naturalized detention, filter strips and treatment wetlands to improve stormwater quality before it enters White Lake. The project is partially funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
On this page:
About White Lake
White Lake is a 2,570 acre coastal, drowned river mouth lake located in Muskegon County along the east shore of Lake Michigan, in the vicinity of the communities of Montague and Whitehall. The Area of Concern includes White Lake and the White River watershed. Most of the land around the lake is wooded or grassy, with sand dunes located along Lake Michigan. Land use in the watershed is primarily recreational and agricultural, with the uses around White Lake being residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural.
The Occidental (Hooker) Chemical Company property was the primary source of contamination. Discharges from the site resulted in White Lake becoming polluted with chloroform, tetrachloride, and various volatile organic and chemical compounds. High levels of PCBs and chromium were also found. Agricultural runoff contributed to up to 97% of the phosphorus pollution in White Lake.
Eight out of a possible 14 beneficial use impairments were identified in the White Lake Area of Concern. To address the BUIs, priorities have been defined to include contaminated sediment remediation, eutrophication control, remediation of groundwater and former industrial site contamination, and wildlife habitat and population restoration.
Beneficial Use Impairments
- Restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption (removed)
- Eutrophication or undesirable algae (removed)
- Restrictions on drinking water consumption, or taste and odor (removed)
- Degradation of fish and wildlife populations
- Degradation of aesthetics
- Degradation of benthos (removed)
- Restriction on dredging activities (removed)
- Loss of fish and wildlife habitat

White Lake was originally listed as an AOC because of venting of a groundwater plume contaminated with an organic solvent from the Occidental Chemical Company site, which is reflected in the 1987 remedial action plan document. Analysis of recent well monitoring data indicates that the plume of contaminated groundwater moving from the site is being intercepted by the lake-front purgewell network and effectively treated prior to discharge to White Lake. Remedial action plans are prepared by MDEQ with assistance from the White Lake public advisory council. The PAC has played a significant role in implanting the RAP and developing delisting targets. The council is part of the Muskegon Conservation District.
- BUI –removed: The restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption beneficial use impairment was removed for White Lake in February 2013. Consult the Michigan Department of Community Health's Eat Safe Fish program for information about consumption limits on a species-by-species basis.
- 3 BUIs – removed: The degradation of benthos, eutrophication or undesirable algae, and restrictions on drinking water, taste or odor impairments were eliminated in 2012.
- BUI – removed: In September 2011, the restrictions on dredging activities BUI was removed. This was the first beneficial use impairment restored in the White Lake AOC.
- In 2010, the Muskegon Conservation District received a $2.1 million grant from the EPA through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The funds will be used towards seven habitat restoration projects. The projects will restore 5,100 linear feet of shorelines, create and restore 35 acres of wetland/aquatic habitat, reconnect 8 acres of upland and riparian corridors and remove over 27,000 cubic yards of shoreline/submerged debris.
- The Muskegon Conservation District completed a habitat assessment of the lake shoreline in 2005 that also evaluates areas for littoral/riparian zone contiguity. The assessment illustrates the importance of responsible development and appropriate land usage within the AOC.
- Koch Chemical agreed to install a new well for City of Whitehall due to groundwater contamination overlapping with the city's "groundwater protection area" in 2005. The well is a step towards improving the status of several BUIs.
- Occidental/Hooker Chemical dredged 12,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from the lake near their outlet discharge pipe in 2003.
- In 2002, Michigan citizens (via MDEQ) and Genesco, Inc. paid for removal of 85,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from Tannery Bay.
- In 2001, it was announced that Genesco Inc., parent company of now-defunct Whitehall Leather Co., and the State of Michigan would split the $6.7 million cost of removing 73,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment from White Lake's "Tannery Bay." Whitehall Leather and its forerunners began dumping cow hides into Tannery Bay beginning in 1866 and discharging heavy metals into the lake in 1944. MDEQ reports show the sediments contained chromium levels 200 times higher than normal and arsenic levels 100 times more than is normal. Leather scraps, cow hair and a substance described as "purple mayonnaise" were also discovered.

Etrian Odyssey IV's Fortress Class
I've always thought of Fortresses as structures and not people, but Etrian Odyssey IV uses the term for its new defensive class, which replaces the Hoplites and Protectors from previous entries. Their job is to absorb attacks and even jump in front of other party members to take hits for the team. It sounds like an awful job.

Thanks to the Univeristy of Pennsylvania
myFOX Job Shop Staff - Two-time Academy Award winning actor Denzel Washington recently gave the commencement speech to the graduating class of 2011 at the University of Pennsylvania.
The essence of his message: Don't be afraid to fail.
Washington points out rather eloquently how a person like Yankee Great Reggie Jackson is better known for his prolific home runs and not the the fact the he struck out more times than any other player in Major League Baseball history. He speaks to the dedication of Thomas Edison and how his invention of the light bulb came after 1,000 failed attempts, only lighting properly on attempt #1001.
Hear how Washington guarantees that you "will suck at something", "that you will fail", but he says it is what do you afterward that matters.
We embedded the commencement speech into this story because it fits the mission of the Job Shop: To Take Risks. To Make Something Happen. To Learn from Your Mistakes.
Watch the video and see if you agree with Washington's philosophy: Fall Forward. We hope it inspires you to create a fulfilling career.

It's Tollef who seems nervous, although he's been a treasure diver, lobsterman and cold-water surfer. He steadies the bike while Pratt finds the pedals, then holds on as she scoots down a slight incline toward Lynda, who's taking pictures. The first few times, he can't let go; she's leaning into him, as if for protection. "You have to pedal," he says. On about the fourth try, Tollef takes his hand off the saddle for a few seconds until she leans too far and he catches her. Leif loses interest.
A couple tries later, Pratt forgets to pedal again and goes sprawling. "I'm OK," she says, disentangling herself from her fallen bike. But she's sniffling quietly, like an athlete who blew the big game, and it's clear the day is done. Her brother sings out, triumphantly, "Tol-ja!"
When we get back to the house, Lynda offers to show me around their South Portland neighborhood. We ride down to Spring Point, a former military installation, with a lighthouse marking the entrance to Portland Harbor. As we meander through a turn-of-the-century neighborhood with shingle houses and dusty boatyards, it dawns on me: This woman is using me. She ditched the kids, and she's sneaking in a ride, on the pretext of showing me around. But I play along, as we follow a bike path past a tank farm, then along the marshy shore of the bay. We're on the South Portland Greenbelt, a 5-mile path Pratt and Leif love to explore.
"It's important that they define themselves as bicyclists," she says. "It seems unfair to stick them in the Baby Jogger." But she hopes that, before long, their rides will be "exercise for me, too." When we reach her turnoff, she says good-bye and we go our separate ways. Looking back, I see her sprinting up the hill.
"Should I Lead, Or You?"
Inside the apartment, the television is on. The television is always on, and Tracy's mom is usually watching it. There isn't much else to do out here on the suburban fringe, especially when you don't have much money, or a car, or a job to go to. So Tracy's mother mostly watches TV and chain-smokes, and worries about her daughter, who's 14 years old with an IQ in the 60s--a child trapped in an extremely oversize body.
"One of the things I've been working on with Tracy is getting regular exercise," said Alan Bean, her social worker, on the 20-minute ride out from Portland. He's 30, with a shaved head and a goatee. With his rainbow tie-dyed shirt and his backpack, he looks like a college student.
He won a Trek to use on his in-town appointments, in part to set a good example for families like Tracy's, but also because he was sick of driving everywhere, every day. His clients are spread all over Portland and the surrounding towns; some days, he had to drive 40 or 50 miles. So he began scheduling his in-town appointments all on the same days, and riding between them.
"I have a very intense job," he tells me. "Going out for a long ride helps wipe the chalkboard."

Andrew Beck, December 29th, Larkman Nunatak
We collected 44 meteorites today, the most we have collected in a single day this year! Today's collection site was the same as the previous few days, the youngest in a sequence of end moraines at the base of Larkman Nunatak. A picture from the top-center of this moraine looking NW is shown in the post. The moraine curves to the NW at both the left and right side of the picture indicating that the glacier that formed these end moraines was receding from the SE to the NW, or directly away from the camera. The glacial activity that sculpted this area happened a long time ago, so only topographic features formed by the glacier remain and not the glacier itself. Moraines are depositional features, but glaciers are erosional as well. Though it as not too apparent in the picture, there is a large depression just beyond the moraine in the blue ice, much of which is reflecting sunlight. This depression is likely an erosional feature that was caused by repeated glacial advance and retreat across this area.
The glacial features we see at Larkman are reminiscent of the sequences of end moraines trailing into the Great Lake basins around areas like Saginaw, MI and Toledo, OH just to name a few, though the features at Larkman Nunatak are on a much, much smaller scale. Seeing interesting geologic features like those at Larkman and at Mt. Bumstead have been a rewarding and mostly unexpected perk for a lot of the team. We have enjoyed discussing these features both in the field and in camp to aid in our plans for meteorite collection. Here is hoping these discussions continue and help us to have more record days!

Daily Thoughts…
- My workout regiment this summer has been perfect; equal parts having fun on my bike and getting rid of the weight I gained in college. But sometimes I really just want a ton of icecream and prizza.
- Community is too good. My accomplishment this long weekend (September 2012) will be that I got through Seasons 2+3 :/
PS: I now have a crush on Alison Brie
- Girls scare me. Not in a cooties or I think I might like men kinda way…just like…either I don't know what's going on in their heads OR I don't know what's going on in mine kinda way. The Winger in me wants to find a babe, the Troy in me wants to say screw it and just have fun with whatever comes up that day, while the Abed in me is too busy leveling my Worgen Rogue to care about women. At this point in time I'm fairly certain a like-minded gal is going to have to chase me down for me to even notice anything going on.
- My house still doesn't feel like my home. I spent a solid 10mins today just staring at the ceiling with this haunting feeling that I'm just borrowing space…
- School starts this week for many; old classmates are filling up the halls of Prov today, kids I work with are doing their back-to-school shopping. It's weird, I feel weird, which sounds weird, whatever.
Daily Thoughts…
With finals coming to a close, and grad at the end of this week, I can't help but reflect on where I was exactly one year ago.
I was a different man, with simpler responsibilities, and less on his plate (even though I felt overwhelmed). I was surrounded by different people asking different things of me, and I know I failed some of them. People that stuck by me through three difficult years, only to lose them when the end was finally in sight…
This past year has been a blur, and I'm being totally serious when I say that last years decisions feel like just yesterday. But I've grown, and continue to learn, and pray that I'm making the right decisions.
All I can do is continue to put my trust in God. Whether you believe in Him or not, we all need something to guide our lives, and no matter what it is there's always that feeling that maybe we didn't follow the instructions properly; that feeling of "what if?"
A part of me will always stand on the "what if", waiting to hear a response. But that doesn't mean that my life slows down. Monumental moments never leave a person like me…I hold onto them, learn from them, and ultimately let them become next years decisions. While some tell me this is a weakness, I find that it becomes my strength. When you're called to help others, it helps to know every corner of yourself.
And when shooting fireworks off in a field, watch out for cows.

Sept. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Treasury 10-year note yields traded at almost two-year highs amid speculation the Federal Reserve's assessment of regional economies in the U.S. will show strong enough growth to allow policy makers to cut stimulus this month.
Yields on the benchmark notes rose as high as 2.88 percent before today's Beige Book report from the Fed and data in two days forecast to show employment growth quickened in August, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts. The 10-year term premium, a model that includes expectations for interest rates, growth and inflation, gained to almost the most since July 2011.
"If the Fed does anything, it's going to be a token amount," said Michael Franzese, senior vice president of fixed- income trading at ED&F Man Capital Markets in New York. "The economy is picking up at a slow pace. It's ebbing along."
Ten-year yields rose one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 2.87 percent as of 12:19 p.m. New York time, based on Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The yield reached 2.93 percent on Aug. 22, the highest since July 29, 2011. The 2.5 percent note due in August 2023 fell 1/8, or $1.25 per $1,000 face amount, to 96 25/32.
The term premium rose to 0.52 percent today after reaching 0.55 percent on Aug. 22. It was negative as recently as June 18.
Fed Tapering
Accelerating U.S. growth has prompted Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke to pledge to slow monetary stimulus if the economic expansion meets policy makers' forecasts. The U.S. central bank will reduce its monthly purchases of $85 billion at its meeting this month, according to 65 percent of economists in a Bloomberg survey last month.
U.S. payrolls rose 180,000 in August, up from 162,000 in July, and the jobless rate held at 7.4 percent, according to economists surveyed before the data are released on Sept. 6.
"Tapering nearly a sure thing," Bill Gross, founder and co-chief investment officer at Pacific Investment Management Co., in Newport Beach, California, wrote in a note on Twitter. Gross estimates a $10 billion reduction in the Fed's Treasury purchases with "front-end friendly guidance."
Gross's Pimco Total Return Fund, the world's biggest bond mutual fund, shed $41 billion, or 14 percent of its assets in the past four months through losses and investor withdrawals.

CINCINNATI – It had the potential for a combustible mix. The Braves sent recently homer-plagued Mike Minor to start Monday's series opener against the Reds at Great American Ball Park, sometimes referred to as Great American Small Park.
The potential was fully realized. Combustion came in the form of four solo home runs off Minor, including three in a row with two out in the fourth inning of a 4-1 series-opening Reds win.
"I don't think it was the ballpark," Minor said. "The pitches were up. All of them were up."
And Mondays remained down for the Braves. They are 0-7 with a total of 12 runs scored on Mondays, while every other day of the week is fine. (They are 26-10 and the league's highest-scoring team on days that don't start with M.)
Previously winless Mike Leake (1-5) came in with an 8.53 home ERA and proceeded to hold the Braves to two hits and one run in eight innings.
"Well, I think one [Reds home run] may have been a legit home run in a bigger ballpark," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Maybe the other ones are off the wall. But it's there for both teams. We gave up three more than they did."
The Braves had two runners on with two out in the ninth after walks by Dan Uggla and Brian McCann before left-hander Sean Marshall was brought in to face Jason Heyward, who flied out.
It was only the fourth loss in the past 15 road games for the Braves, whose NL East lead was reduced to a half-game over Washington after the Nationals beat the Phillies on Monday.
Minor fell to 2-4 while actually lowering his ERA from 7.09 to 6.96, a sign of how bad a turn his season has taken. He is 0-3 with 10.46 ERA in his past five starts, with 31 earned runs and a staggering 11 homers allowed in 26 2/3 innings. He served up multiple homers in four of those five games.
Gonzalez said he left Minor in the game through and after the homer barrage because it was a "teaching moment" to have him try to continue and finish strong after a bad inning, which he did. He retired the last seven batters he faced and allowed five hits and four walks with four strikeouts in six innings.
"I thought he did better in that fifth and sixth inning," Gonzalez said. "His breaking ball started to have more depth to it. Hopefully he carries this on to his next start and learns from it."
Of the career-high four homers Minor allowed, Gonzalez said: "It could have been the ballpark. [But] we didn't hit. It was a weird game…. The old adage is that solo home runs don't beat you. But we didn't hit. We didn't give him an opportunity. But I saw something in Mike today. I saw some growth in him."
The Monday thing is probably just a coincidence. But it sure is getting odder by the week.
The Braves just beat Tampa Bay's best pitchers, James Shields on Friday and David Price on Sunday. But on Monday, they didn't get their second hit until the seventh inning against Leake.
"That's why it is a crazy game," Braves second baseman Dan Uggla said. "We didn't have it tonight."
Leake also started the Reds' fourth-inning home run derby with the first homer of his career, which came on a 1-2 pitch with two out. Minor had been one strike away from getting out of the inning, with the score 1-1 and facing the pitcher, when things came unraveled.
"Yeah, all that happened with two outs," Minor said. "I knew Leake was a good hitter. I've known him since college, and I knew he hit in college, too. So it wasn't like I was taking him lightly. Obviously I was throwing him off-speed pitches. Usually you throw a pitcher a lot of fastballs. I was throwing him inside fastballs, changeups … he knew that was my best pitch, too."
But on this night, his changeup failed him. Three of four homers were hit on changeups, including Leake's.
"Early in the game it was a flatter pitch that didn't have a whole lot of depth," Minor said. "It was just on one plane and only had side-to-side movement. So it's a lot easier for a hitter to keep their bat in the zone and hit it solid."
Zack Cozart followed three pitches later with a home run a little longer than Leake's, then Drew Stubbs hit his second homer of the game, estimated at 408 feet. Back-to-back-to-back jacks off Minor, each longer than the one before.
So much for that axiom about solo homers. Not when it's four solo homers, especially four in the first four innings.
Plenty of times this season, the Braves have scoffed at a three-run deficit and stormed back to win. Not Monday. They've been the league's highest scoring team on the road, but they mustered one run and two hits against Leake, who's been one of baseball's worst pitchers this season.
Leake had allowed 21 hits and 12 earned runs in 12 2/3 innings at home before facing the Braves, whose only hit through six innings was a first-inning homer by former Reds prospect Juan Francisco, who filled in for injured Chipper Jones. The Braves fell to 7-12 without Jones in the lineup (19-5 when he plays).
Asked if the Braves' bad night at the plate was more about them or Leake, Uggla said, "It was both. He made good pitches. We only got two hits, so he was pretty much on. Those guys right there, when they have good stuff and they're up here but they've struggled, those guys are dangerous, because his back's up against the wall, so he's bound to go out and do what he can do eventually."

I remarked on this on the brave's yahoo blog. We seem more undisciplined without his steadying presence in the line-up. it just feels different. We're going to have to find a way to replace this guy next year.

Minor must go, the Bat Boy can pitch better than he can! Put Medlen in as starter and send Minor down and bring Terhan up! We can't keep trotting Minor out like we did D. Lowe last year. As we saw at the end last year those games matter! Personally I thnk Monor is trying to pitch like Beachy and he is not a power pitcher!

May 21st, 2012

Don't need to pull the ball Freddie, you were on fire before trying to pull everything! STOP IT NOW and resume what you were doing . . . hitting to all fields! Minor has a BIG BIG mental problem . . . needs to stop thinking and just pitch and SLOW DOWN, you're acting like the ball is burning your hand. Take a little time between pitches.

@Runner- who said that walker is messing with Freeman's swing? Didn't they say that freeman has one of the best swings in the game? Did you ever think that freeman is possibly just in a slump because of his own doing?

This goes back to when Minor ticked off Bobby in 2010 by saying the Braves "over worked" him. Bottom line is Mike Minor is simply a big Wussy, and the W should be a P. Minor is one of those guys that its always going to be something or someone that is keeping him from being successful.
Minor seems to be able to give a couple of innings before he implodes. Why not swap him with Medlen. At least Medlen has heart. If having a lefty in the rotation is so important, trade for one. It's not Minor.

Minor, Hanson and DelGado all pitch scared. They do not trust their stuff. They just look frightened to be pitching. I am afraid Minor should NOT trust his stuff. I think DelGado will figure it out if FG keeps "trotting him out there"

Great job by Fredi leaving him in after getting every hitter to a full count or homerun. Really helped them in the end, AMIRITE?!?!?!?!
May 21st, 2012

Fredi has to give the guy a chance to rebound. It's part of managing. Now if he trots out Minor again, then that will be his fault.
May 21st, 2012
10:51 pm
Lets review…. Mike did not say play me or trade me….he said if I am not what you are looking for then I don't have a problem with being traded. (Media loves to start crap) Also, should I remind all of you "Braves Fans" that Minor has a better track record than Glavine did his rookie year? Hmmmm. Food for thought. Maybe you all should give this guy a chance. Bobby Cox is a great judge of strength and he hand picked Minor. This kid actually has great skill. Do a little research and you might be surprised at what you find. I can't wait until all of you eventually jump on his band wagon. Let him get settled and he won't let us down. Braves fans are the most self righteous fans
May 21st, 2012
10:51 pm
Minor is killig us.. send him back down to learn how to pitch.. 3 straight homers with 2 out and the first one was to the other pither? you gotta be kidding me! put Medlen in the rotation Fredi.. that would be the smart move to make.. oh but wait, you are an idiot for a amanager, I forgot.. you have no business being a manager period.. we should sign Roy Oswalt but we won't.. this is just going to keep getting worse.. FIRE FREDI!
May 21st, 2012

So you demote an All-Star immediately and give a rookie 6 or more chances….
Yep makes sense.
May 21st, 2012
10:53 pm
One more start for Minor then they have to make a move.
Redmond was just named pitcher of the week in the international league. The guy has put up the numbers and I think if Minor does not do better next strat, let's give him a shot. JJ is not anywhere near ready for the bigs right now.
They could also put Medlen in the rotation, but he is not ready to go 5 -6 innings at this time and it would wear the pen. The way Venters and EOF have struggled at times, he is needed there.
May 21st, 2012
11:20 pm
Anybody thinking JJ should return is on crack. He is even worse right now.
May 21st, 2012

I wonder what would happen if minor faced the braves lol he would probably throw a no no
May 21st, 2012

He also kept playing Greg Norton once upon a time. Checkmate.

Not saying that JJ should be brought back but Gonzalez is giving more consideration to Minor.
May 22nd, 2012
12:02 am
Back in 88 when Glavine started they all pretty much stunk, so it didn't matter much. They Braves were supposed to get going this year. Time to send Minor for potty training and go out and get a proven starter, from what I read Oswalt is coming back, velocity might be off some but he is a veteran pitcher and being such, knows what it takes to win, if the ownership doesn't change I don't see the Braves ever returning to what they were for over a decade. Need money to go out sign front line pitching, not hope and pray for the rookies to come in and save them. Cole Hammels like him or not will be free agent next year, pony up boys, if you are serious about winning. Oh, yeah about Chipper can't over come 4 home runs, by the the Kid a nice thought but he is not a saviour.
May 22nd, 2012
12:04 am
The reason JJ was sent down was because he struggled in Spring Training and continued to struggle when the season started. Minor was pretty good in ST and has had his moments so far this year. Of course I can;t justify the 6+ ERA but he is just a rookie and people need to show some patience. By some people's logic if the Braves listened ya'll we never would have seen Glavine or Smoltz because they struggled early in their careers and would have been traded for a bag of balls or something. Just relax and let Minor settle in and he will be an above average pitcher.
Go Braves!!
May 22nd, 2012
12:15 am
Medlen is not coming out of the bullpen to takeover as a starter, at least not this year. He is coming of Tommy John surgery and has never pitched more than 120 innings in a season majors or minors. Plus if Meds were starting and began to struggle then all you experts would be screaming for him to be traded or sent back to the pen.
Go Braves!
May 22nd, 2012
12:20 am
I'm going to post the same thing on here that I just posted on my twitter
–From today forward Im going to boycott each game that Mike Minor starts. I will not watch or listen, I'll just assume its an L #BoycottMinor—
I'm done with this. JJ was having issues and he got shipped out. This guy is giving up homers like they are singles. Something has to be done. I'm not sure if Julio Teheran is ready to step up, or Medlen or Livan or whomever, but something has to be done. I'm not sure about the whole Roy Oswalt thing, but just about anyone would be better right now than Minor.
To the people that say let him settle in, let him get his feet wet blah blah blah…add up the past 3 years he's started 32 game (which is about normal for an entire season) over than span he's 10-9, with an era that's nearly 5.50, he gives up way more hits than innings pitched, and you say let him settle in??? He's had 3 years to prove himself in some way, he sorta popped off at the mouth in the spring when he basically said start me or trade me, well his trade value is next to nothing at the moment. I know they want to keep him in there because he's the only lefty in the rotation, but something has got to give.
Spring training is suppose to be the time for a pitcher to get his work in, settle in and get ready for the season. Not 2 months into the season when the team is in first place, and can't count on said pitcher to hold up his own when his turn roles around in the rotation.
May 22nd, 2012
12:29 am
What's with the Braves and their bad luck/scouting with the left handed starting pitchers? Here is the list of unsuccessful ones that I could think of since Glavine and Avery…and I am sure I am missing someone.
Bruce Chen, Damien Moss, Horacio Ramirez, Macay McBride (drafted as a SP), Chuck James, Jo Jo Reyes, Mike Minor (?)
In this period, we found Millwood, Hanson, Beachy..we also drafted Wainwright, Schmidt..just to name few right handed pitchers. At this rate, we should get left handed pitching from the market rather than developing internally..
May 22nd, 2012
12:34 am
You can't compare Minor to Glavine or Smoltz. Sure Glavine struggled in his first full season as a starter, but the team itself was horrible, and that can cover up a bad season by a pitcher when everyone else is just as bad. Glavine might have been 7-17 but his ERA was under 5, he pitched nearly 200 innings..FOR A BAD TEAM.
Smoltz's first 2 seasons as a full time starter he pitched nearly 440 innings. with ERA's of 2.94 & 3.85 and yet again for BAD TEAMS….
This team is good, has the potential of being great besides the lack of consistent starting pitching out of the back of the rotation. You can let Mike Minor run out there and get blasted every 5th day and go 5-15 or worse. It's just not going to work.
May 22nd, 2012
12:39 am
It's a bit painful to watch minor, think its high time he drops down to AAA
May 22nd, 2012
12:43 am
Only other lefty I can think of off the top of my head was Odalis Perez….
It's kind of sad when you really think about it the last consistent lefty the Braves had in the rotation was another Mike….
Mike Hampton….
2003 & 2004 he was very reliable, and then hurt for the next three years…..
May 22nd, 2012
12:43 am
Chen has wound up having a decent career.
May 22nd, 2012
12:45 am
John, I was actually thinking AA for Minor because then it would get him out of GA and away from the proximity of Atlanta and allow him to just pitch, maybe work out his issues.
May 22nd, 2012
12:57 am
What about J. Heyward? He's drifted down into the .240s now, albeit with moderate power [5 homers, 15 RBIs]. Was hoping that these new hitting coaches would figure him out and get him back on his 2010 track.
I know little about hitting on the ML level, but it looks to me as if he is still trying to go out and around the ball on EVERY pitch, rather than going WITH the pitch. Pull happy in other words, causing him to roll over and ground out so much. That guy has so much potential, and the Braves need him so badly. Hope he can turn it around soon.
May 22nd, 2012

Wow, four runs.
Minor might as well just hang it up.
That's our worst pitcher? Four runs?!
Last time I checked we were pretty good on offense and Mike Leake was a T-shirt lifting Wynona Ryder wanna be piece of white trash.
Plus, I always thought solo home runs couldn't kill you.
Oh well, can't win 'em all.
May 22nd, 2012
2:03 am
Okay, maybe that was a little harsh.
Clearly there's a difference between calling someone "white trash" and "a piece of white trash."
Leake is merely white trash.
May 22nd, 2012

Nothing more. Nothing less.
On the bright side, only 14 more Monday games left on the 2012 schedule.
That's good news.

I'm not panicking at all; however, when we only get 2 hits against a guy like Leake? You still believe in Fredi?? I am much more interested in this team than last year's, but c'mon man…

the reason jj was sent down is the same reason minor is getting torched…"ball in middle of plate syndrome" which equates to launched orbital sphere. period.
if you want to win in chipper's last season, call up teheran, gilmartin, or redmond for a couple of weeks until oswalt can get 'er loosened up so we can stick it to the phillies with rent-a-pitcher as they are accustomed to doing.
but please, no jj crap until he can dominate AAA hitters. otherwise, trade him (he will be non-tendered at season's end anyway) for a couple minor leaguers before we loose him with zero return on that $5.5 million 2012 investment.

I remember watching MLB network last year and one of their sportscasters made the comment that Minor may have reached his potential and what you saw was it. I didn't believe it then but after the way he has pitched the last month you got to wonder if this is it. It might be time to swap Minor and Medlen around and maybe start getting Minor prepared to be a relief guy the rest of his career.
May 22nd, 2012
9:33 am
The Braves are in a pennant race. They cannot simply mail-in every 5th game as a loss. Minor has not developed at all. The odd part is that his "stuff" and velocity are better than what the Braves expected when they drafted him. He has not learned how to pitch at all. I would rather see Braves start a game with Medlen and plan to have Christian Martinez and Livan ready by 4th or 5th inning and let Minor go learn to pitch at AA. He has Major league talent, but right now an opposing pitcher takes him deep on 1-2 count with 2 outs.
May 22nd, 2012
9:50 am
It seems like Fredi and the rest of the team give up after falling behind. Bad pitching from Minor is no reason for pitiful hitting. Minor certainly has some talent and probably a bright future, but what manager leaves a pitcher in the game who gives up three homeruns in a row? Fredi is the one in need of a learning experience. When a pitcher clearly doesn't have it, take him out!

And a few yrs ago everyone wanted a new hitting coach? Did any of this happen ynder Mazzone as pitching coach?

About the hitting….I think the Braves were mentally out of the game. They were facing a now win pitcher, in a hitters ballpark and it showed with their swings. Let me tell ya…Freeman looks (as of late) like he is swinging at softball..he is definintely swinging UP not level. Bourne, wake up fella…take a pitch, get in the pitchers head, make them dread seeing U come up to the plate…All of the hitters need to work the pitch count…Mcmuff, swung a a 2 ball no strike pitch from a pitcher that was winless..way to go mccann, help the poor boy out instead of putting pressure on him….good greif…lets put this one behind us and regain the mentality of winning and doing what it takes to win….thought for the day…to all you Braves players….is anyone out working you in your profession? Be true to thine own self! Go Braves!

Seems like the Braves just don't play well in Cincinnati over the past few years. And yes, they seem to have the Monday 'blues' this season.
I think we will split the Reds in Cincinnati and that really wouldn't be so bad.
I am anxious to see how we play the Nats when we get home. We need to start off showing them we can beat them this year with a sweep or at least 2 out of 3 wins.

GR, those didn't happen under Leo, but these did: Avery (flamed out very young), Chen (never blossomed until after traded), Perez (wild as Charlie Sheen in "Major League"), Wohlers (lost the strike zone), Rocker (lost his mind), and so many others we traded or released, only to see them throw no-hitters or become 20 game winning All Stars. I loved Leo and love him still–but his was didn't always work.

By a series of accidental turns and a healthy dose of serendipity I've ended up investigating the past. The passing hands of nature's clock are vital for my work. I'm fascinated by what makes our planet tick and have spent my research career exploring what happened when.
I am an Australian Research Council (ARC) Laureate Fellow and Professor of Climate Change at the University of University of New South Wales where my team and I are focussing our efforts on finding lessons from the past. I'm particularly interested in past and future climates, how people have responded to change, and recent human evolution and migration. To do something positive about climate change, I helped set up a carbon refining company called Carbonscape which has developed technology to fix carbon from the atmosphere and make a host of green bi-products, helping reduce greenhouse gas levels.
You can view my research papers in Google Scholar by clicking here.
This site gives a taster of what I have done and what I am working on now. I am currently organising and leading the Australasian Antarctic Expedition 2013-2014, repeating century old measurements to discover and communicate the changes taking place in this remote and pristine environment. My recent book is called 1912: The Year The World Discovered Antarctica and looks at the great leap forward in Antarctic scientific discovery that was made a century ago. There is also a short online lecture where I talk about some of the bizarre events and eccentric characters that have helped us understand time today. Or if you fancy a virtual exploration of human evolution in southeast Asia, click on the fieldtrip link to learn about some classic Indonesian archaeological sites which includes the discovery of an entirely new species of human we called Homo floresiensis (popularly known as the 'hobbits').

In 2007, I was privileged to be the first recipient of the International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA) Sir Nicholas Shackleton Medal for outstanding young Quaternary scientist for pioneering research into past climate change and dating the past. In 2008 I was the recipient of a Philip Leverhulme Prize for contributions to understanding the evolution of the Earth's climate over the last 50,000 years. Most recently I was honoured to be awarded the 2009 Geological Society of London's Bigsby Medal for services to geology.

A word from Daugherty's American Kitchen & Drink
Brad Daugherty grew up in Black Mountain, North Carolina, just minutes from Asheville. After an All-American career playing basketball at The University of North Carolina, he was the first overall draft pick in the 1986 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. He went on to a successful 8 year NBA career followed by becoming a Nascar Sprint Cup Series car owner of the #47 car. He commentates Nascar and NBA basketball on ESPN and admittedly loves to eat!Continued
Brad's affinity for his home of Western North Carolina and the Asheville community made South Asheville a logical place for his own restaurant. He sought to create flavorful and well thought out food in a relaxed upscale atmosphere.
When it comes to food, enjoy regional and local cuisine borne from Brad's upbringing in Western North Carolina, fused with his experiences dining around the nation as a professional basketball player, Nascar team owner and sports commentator.

- BrownKirkbr53VIPDined on 9/19/2014While Daughtery's has done much to improve the interiors by opening it up, it still has the ambiance of a generica sports bar. But the food and service far exceeded expectations, so we will return often.

- We went to celebrate my birthday.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/30/2012We went to celebrate my birthday. I ordered salmon and my husband ordered steak. It took a long time to get our food. The salmon was undercooked. I could not eat it. I was offered something else but did not want to wait. They did not make me pay for it. That was the only time I have not been happy there. We have been back since and everything was great. I will continue to eat there. I just chalk it up to them making a mistake just like we all do.Special Features:

- Frankie Bones has great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 11/24/2011Frankie Bones has great food in a very enjoyable setting. We usually sit near the bar area, which has a NYC appeal. Service is great and the food is prepared authentically and we've always been pleased with the selections and options. The staff is very responsive and service is excellent. You will need a car to get there and it is on the south side of Asheville -- a few miles south of I-40. We go back regularly!Special Features:

The last time we went we went way over board and ordered 2 apps, 2 meals, sides, and dessert we were so stuffed we could barely walk out. The food is wonderful and the staff seems great!!! LOVE Frankie Bones and hope they can expand closer to us somedaySpecial Features:
