Rob Romasco: Hello and welcome to today's live chat on important family conversations! Thank you, everyone, for joining us today! And thank you all for all the questions that are coming in. We'll try to get to as many as we can.
AARP: We're so happy to have Rob Romasco, AARP's president, with us today to answer your questions. The holiday season is a time for family gatherings.
Though visits may be short, it's a good time to connect with family members, especially older parents and relatives, to assess how they are doing and what they might need.
Every family should talk about a caregiving plan for aging loved ones, if you live near or far; President Romasco will provide tips for getting the conversation started.
Rob Romasco: Let's get started!
Comment From Fe: I am the caregiver of my mother. She has lived with me for the past five years. She has a provider who comes for five hours during the day, but I need more help. I am feeling overwhelmed because I work all day and then come home and have to take care of her and my family. I am wondering who I could contact to get additional help (providers) to come in the evening to assist me. We live in Texas.
Rob Romasco: Hi, Fe. Yes – that does sound like a lot for one person to handle, and while it's hard, I am sure your mother appreciates all you do!
Here is a great link to where and how you may find local resources for evening help: www.eldercare.gov. There is also a hotline to call if that's easier: 800-677-1116.
Comment From Beth: My father-in-law is over 80 and still insists on driving eight hours to visit us at the holidays. His hearing is poor and he can't read road signs any longer. We are concerned about his safety while driving. How can we ask him not to drive without offending him?
Rob Romasco: Because driving represents independence and freedom for most older adults, the idea of limiting it or giving it up can be deeply emotional.
I recommend preparing yourself to approach this sensitive conversation by taking our free We Need to Talk online seminar. The seminar will give you some helpful conversation starters and other insights that can help you through this difficult topic.
Your father-in-law will be much more likely to listen and respond positively to your concerns if you have done your homework, so it will help if you've done some research about alternative transportation where he lives.
Since he drives long distances to see you, and it may no longer be safe, you may want to offer to purchase him a plane ticket or drive to where he lives, so he doesn't feel like he's missing out on quality family time during the holidays.
Comment from Guest: How do I get assistance with any type of food stamps program? Where do I get info?
Rob Romasco: Food stamps, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, are a critical nutrition benefit for those who qualify.
In order to see if you or someone you care about is eligible, visit AARP's Benefits QuickLINK SNAP Map.
This confidential tool will screen you for eligibility and let you know which nutrition programs might be available to you, as well as how to apply in your state. You can also use Benefits QuickLINK to screen for other benefits that help save money on health care, medication, utilities and more.
If you or someone you care about needs emergency food assistance, there are resources available for you. Call the National Hunger Clearinghouse and Hunger Hotline at 866-348-6479 (866-3-HUNGRY) or at 877-842-6273 for Spanish (877-8-HAMBRE) if you need food today.
Next: My husband has Alzheimer's and I'm the only caregiver. »

The aspects that have fuelled the crisis are well known, armed groups, terrorist groups, supported by Western and some Arab countries, including the support by turkey of these militants which includes providing them with sophisticated weapons, and giving terrorists, including al-Qaeda, free access to turkey to come to Syria.

Is the Fed rigging the stock market?
Evidence suggests the central bank is creating another bubble.
There is a long list of reasons that home prices reached such fantastic heights in 2006 before collapsing. But most of the blame can go to the Federal Reserve for keeping interest rates too low back in 2003 and 2004. Tech-stock mania, in turn, can also be traced to low interest rates in the late 1990s.
There are a number of ways in which one can judge Fed policy. Wall Street practitioners like Tom McClellan of the McClellan Market Report find that the yield on 2-year Treasury notes "has a long history of telling us what's coming" from the Fed. Right now, just as it did back in 1999 and again in 2004, the 2-year T-note suggests the Fed is keeping rates too low. It suggests short-term rates should be more than 1% instead of zero.
TrimTabs Investment Research CEO Charles Biderman takes it a step further in a recent report, asking whether the Federal Reserve and the U.S. government have artificially inflated the stock market. For the more conspiratorial among you, here's an excerpt from Bilderman's report:
As far as we know, it is not illegal for the Federal Reserve or the U.S. Treasury to buy S&P 500 futures. Moreover, several officials have suggested the government and major banks could support stock prices. For example, former Fed board member Robert Heller opined in the Wall Street Journal in 1989, "Instead of flooding the entire economy with liquidity, and thereby increasing the danger of inflation, the Fed could support the stock market directly by buying market averages in the futures market, thereby stabilizing the market as a whole."
This type of intervention could explain some of the unusual market action in recent months, with stock prices grinding higher on low volume even as companies sold huge amounts of new shares and retail investors stayed on the sidelines. Some market watchers have charted that virtually all of the market's upside since mid-September has come from after-hours futures activity.
Bilderman's remarks were based on an analysis of the possible sources of the $600 billion in net new cash that was needed to boost the U.S. stock market capitalization by $6 billion since March. The usual sources, such as retail investors and pension funds, could muster only about $100 billion, according to the TrimTabs team. The rest had to come from somewhere.
Bilderman's findings are intriguing but mostly conjecture because of the spotty quality of the data available. Also, I think he misses the obvious bubble candidate: long-dated bonds.
The Fed has been openly buying some $1.7 trillion worth of long-term bonds since last March, which is something it hasn't done since the 1950s. Back then, the Fed was forced to buy government debt to keep borrowing rates down during World War II. Today, the Fed is making purchases to support housing by keeping mortgages cheap. In an effort to fight foreclosures, we're using the same tools that helped defeat the Empire of Japan and the Third Reich.
As these purchases are phased out over the next few months, long-term interest rates will continue to move higher. This will cause long-term bond prices to fall, causing this new "bond bubble" to deflate. Stock investors will benefit, just as they did in the 1950s and 1960s as capital was moved from falling bonds into rising stocks. See my post from last week for more on this topic.
My positions
My portfolio at Wall Street Survivor continues to benefit from the new-year rally. I've added to a number of my positions, including Russian steelmaker Mechel (MTL) and the Direxion 3x Financial Bull (FAS). I also started three new positions that will be detailed in future posts: KKR Financial (KFN), Polaris (PII), and Las Vegas Sands (LVS).
Overall, my portfolio is up 43% since it was started in September and has gained 3.6% over the past two days versus the 1.5% gain for the S&P 500.

The planes could not have knocked down the two main towers, let alone the third hi-rise which wasn't even hit by a plane, so the question of who flew the planes is actually fairly irrelevant, though the official account is bogus even on this count, e.g. "hijackers" which have turned up alive.
For the record...asked if 'Islamophobia' author and professor of
media studies Deepa Kumar could comment on the possibility of an
inside job on '9-11', she conceded "Maybe it is" before we were told
that to question state Islamic demolition theory which Philip
introduced as gospel was 'off topic' ...(I had explained I didn't mean
just support for 'evildoers' like our agent Usama who my stunt double
Gaddafi was the first to put on the Interpol wanted list, but the
impossibility of foreigners being behind NORAD stand downs and
controlled demolitions, or 2 planes knocking down 3 buildings) ...to
talk or write about attacks on Islam while fueling it by foisting this
impossible hijacker myth on us is 'evildoing' at its best.
The comment that the hijackers couldn't have pulled off flying the planes into the towers because they were brown "A-rabs" is ludicrous. What's racist is the conjecture that, of course the Muslims would fly those planes into the towers because they "hate our freedom." The host kept sidetracking the "truthers" who called in, claiming it was "off topic," missing the point about how the empire used Islamophobia to pull the whole thing off. Several of the so-called hijackers have been reported to be alive and well in the Middle East. The bogus claim that an intact passport of one of the hijackers was found on top of the massive rubble is suspect enough to warrant investigation. That 19 hijackers, a couple of whom purportedly couldn't even fly a Cessna well when they took flying lessons, has no bearing on their ethnicity, but simply the fact that these men did not have the capability to fly a small plane, much less a jet airliner into the towers and the Pentagon. The Pentagon is the most guarded building in the world, yet these amateur pilots were able to penetrate all its security. Riiiiight...
The evasion regarding the real story of 9/11 on the part of both host Maldari and guest Deepa Kumar was sad, though predictable. But the phoned-in comment by Abu from Madison was truly awful. Abu resorted to the "racism" card, as if the main contention of those questioning the official story is that Arabs/Muslims were incapable of what was done that day. No, the contention is that NO ONE, of any race, creed, national origin,... was capable of doing what the official story contends happened, including the downing of THREE hi-rises with two jetliners. The official story regarding what happened to the three WTC hi-rises blatantly violates numerous laws of physics, would have required a bunch of miracles to have been borne out.
See http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?aid=20039&context=va Do read the kind of material that the likes of Abu would rather remain unknown.

Top tips from a local in London
London is one of the most-visited cities in the world and after living here most of my life I don't find it hard to see why. The multi-cultural city is full of all sorts of shops, markets, restaurants, bars and museums - no two streets are the same and there is always something new to try just around the corner.
And of course, who can forget the main reasons tourists come here to visit; the Queen (she needs to be near the top of the list), famous landmarks like the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly Circus, to travel on the oldest underground railway network in the world or to soak up the history and culture the city just oozes out of every corner.
After all, considering how unreliable the weather can be, there's got to be something about this city that draws in millions of tourists every year.
And believe me, there's lots that goes undiscovered, too.
So here's my idea of a perfect London weekend. Be sure to watch my video tour above too, where I take you around spots in East London ideal for shopping, soaking up the atmosphere and dining out.
If you like the sound of East London's Spitalfields Market which is bursting with vintage shops and is a fashion hub for the trendy you will like west London's Portobello market too. As one of the most famous markets in the world, it's also a must-visit.
Go here on Saturday to see the market at its best and wander through stall after stall of vintage fashion and a truly vast collection of antiques.
Make sure to pick up a cupcake from Hummingbird Bakery on Portobello Road and not far away you can grab a bite of hot food to eat from the Golborne Road international food market, too.
If you prefer to dress in more alternative clothing, Camden Town markets serve a wide range of fashion styles to suit all.
This place is heaving on a Saturday and Sunday and well-worth a visit, just be prepared to have to work your way through the crowds.
Eating and drinking
Londoners are spoilt for choice for places to eat and drink in town. I often stroll down to CASK Pub and Kitchen in Pimlico for a few drinks. The pub is famous for its vast collection of real ales from around the UK and its world-class keg and bottled beer from all over the world.
Or, if it's a nice sunny evening, I like to head to the award-winning Hootananny in Brixton where the large beer garden attracts big crowds and there's often live music later on.
The British love sport, especially watching it and if there are big sporting events on while you're in town make sure to pick a pub where there will be tonnes of atmosphere.
Vibe Bar, which I visit in my perfect weekend video above, has huge indoor and outdoor screens for large football or rugby tournaments and the outdoor BBQ does some tasty Jerk Chicken in the evenings and on a weekend.
The Grand Union in Brixton also puts up large screens in its beer garden which can seat up to 300 people - one of London's largest. You can also hire out special 'tree houses' at the Grand Union if you want to make a day or night of it.
Eat Shop Do
Eat, shop, do at Eat Shop Do
For something a little different, consider going for afternoon tea with a few friends. Drink Shop and Do in Caledonian Road is a fantastic spot where during the day you can enjoy afternoon tea or choose from a selection of speciality teas, finger sandwiches and cakes.
In the evening, you can also take part in all sorts of things from having a 50s make-over to playing musical bingo or making your own crafts whilst enjoying a cocktail.
If a Brick Lane curry, like I have in my perfect weekend video isn't what you're after for dinner, try Le Mercury in Islington - a reasonably-priced French restaurant with all the atmosphere you'd want for dinner and of course some really tasty food.
There are simply loads of art galleries and museums spotted around London to choose from for a bit of culture, but if you fancy going further afield and avoiding the crowds at the National Gallery of Royal Academy of Art I would recommend The Horniman museum in South London's Forest Hill which has been open since Victorian times.
It's a great free day out for the family with beautiful parks to wander in and interesting exhibitions and displays on natural history, photography, musical instruments and the strangest looking stuffed walrus you'll ever see. The aquarium and nature base are fantastic for kids and allow them to get up-close and personal with sea-life and insects and learn about their natural habitats. Although, like me, you don't need to have children to appreciate this place!
When to visit
If you can brave any type of weather then it is always a good time to visit London.
Grand Union
Grand Union Brixton
Most attractions are open in the colder and darker winter months and visiting then can be a good way to avoid fellow travellers, but remember prices and crowds tend to swell during the Christmas and Easter holidays.
Warm temperatures might not be guaranteed during the summer months but when the sun does shine it's the perfect opportunity to join Londoners in the capital's many parks and beer gardens.

Parks all over the city are in riotous bloom, with cherry trees and Bradford pears and crabapple trees and tulip trees all going at once. It's the prettiest spring in years, and why are you still sitting in your cubicle?
Go ahead. Sneak away from work. That's what we did. Get out for lunch. There's surely a carryout near you that will be glad for the business, and you will be glad for the break.We headed over to the Boat Lake in Patterson Park Friday with salads, a couple of small loaves of bread, some animal crackers and a couple of Diet Cokes. The bread was for the legion of ducks and geese there; the rest was for us. We took an extra bag to carry our trash back.
The Canada geese were feeling randy that day, so there will surely be new Canada geese come about the first of May. The ducks have already paired up. The red-winged blackbirds are already nesting. You might notice that the island in the middle is about as crowded as the Preakness infield, and for good reason—a whole lot of birds are passing through in the spring migration, and another whole lot of birds has returned from the south.
There's a kingfisher that sits in the willow tree challenging other birds that come by. The red-winged blackbirds will scold at you as you walk around the boardwalk—they like to nest in the reeds and trees on the north end.Sit on one of the benches for a while and you are likely to see a Great Blue Heron that has been spending a lot of time in Patterson Park. It's very unlikely that the heron is nesting there, because herons like to nest in big groups. So he must be after the all-you-can-eat bluegill buffet.
The Boat Lake is teeming with all kinds of aquatic life—bluegills, itty bitty trout and bass, minnows and baby slider turtles with shells about the size of a quarter. We threw some of the bread to the ducks and geese and noticed that the fish were competing for it. If you want to get a closer look, drop a dough ball in the water and watch 15 to 20 fish go after it. We taught a very little boy how to roll dough balls. He had a great old time.
So did we. Think about getting outside and enjoying our parks. You will be glad you did. And hey, a favor—take your trash home with you, OK?

CULVER CITY (CNS) - The Culver Ice Arena, a facility where the Los Angeles Kings and Olympic figure skaters Scott Hamilton, Michelle Kwan and Tai Babilonia trained is scheduled to close Sunday after 52 years in business.
John Jackson, who owns the skating business, told the Los Angeles Times he was unable to negotiate a lease renewal. Shannon Takahashi, who runs the rink's skating school and youth hockey program, told The Times that the property owner, Mike A. Karagozian, asked $68,00 a month in rent, nearly double what Jackson has been paying.
The closure of the rink would result in 50 people losing their jobs, some of whom have
worked at the ice rink for 40 years, according to supporters.
An online petition seeking to save the rink has received almost 15,000 signatures, Takahashi said.
Planet Granite, a Bay Area-based company, has agreed to take over the facility and operate a rock-climbing, yoga and fitness center.
However, Culver City City Manager John M. Nachbar said this week a zoning change would be required to convert the rink into the planned multi-use building.
At the urging of the City Council, city staff conducted a "comprehensive, top to bottom records search" related to the rink and late Monday found the use variance issued in 1960 which permitted the ice rink and related parking to extend onto residentially zoned property, Nachbar said.
"Therefore, given Planet Granite's plans to utilize the existing ice rink building and surface parking for a new use, a discretionary approval process would be required," Nachbar said.
A zoning change would need approval of the Planning Commission and City Council, Nachbar said. Additionally, because the zoning change is a discretionary approval, it would also be subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, Nachbar said.
There was no immediate response to a message left tonight with Planet Granite seeking comment.
The final public skating sessions are planned from 1:30-5 p.m. and 8-10:30 p.m. Sunday. A tribute to the Winter Olympics was held Saturday, with 64 skates from ages 7 to adults set to participate.
The Times reported that the Los Angeles Kings and AEG, the team's owner, sought to take over the rink and continue operating it as a public venue figure skating and hockey.
"We were involved in the bidding process, but we unfortunately weren't the highest bidder," Michael Altieri, the team's vice president of communications, told the newspaper.

Staff Review:
The Magicians is a more adult take on the concept of what life *really* would be like if you found out you could do magic. Quentin Coldwater, a high school senior, is magically transported to a college entrance exam for a secret college for learning magic, and passes with flying colors. But learning magic is difficult and tiring, and being able to do tricks doesn't make Quentin any less immature and self-absorbed. And the fantasy worlds he discovers aren't quite like the books he read as a child - the battles are real, the bad guys are unimaginably powerful, and the losses are permanent. This imaginative novel is first in a trilogy, and for mature readers interested in coming-of-age stories and fantasy, this book is well worth your time.

News - Afghanistan
Parliament is expected to impeach the Minister of Energy and Water Mohammad Ismail Khan on Monday after more than 50 lawmakers voted in favour of his removal, the Administrative Office said Saturday.
Khan has become unpopular with the lawmakers after publically calling last month for the former mujahedeen figures to take up arms and join the private army of the Jihadi Council he leads.
The Administrative Office said that 55 parliamentarians have signed in favour of impeaching Khan and in their written reasons for doing so, the main one precisely being his private milita plan.
"Fifty-five MPs sent their signatures to the Administrative Office. The subject was discussed in a meeting... and it was specified that [Parliament will] impeach him on Monday," Deputy Secretary Mohammad Farhad Azimi said.
Other reasons cited were a lack of development plans for electricity to some parts of country, slow process in construction and reconstruction of hyrdo-electric dams and the budget expenditure of the ministry.
Some parliamentarians said that the lower house has the legal right to impeach government ministers but feared government meddling.
"Some of the influential people and ministers threaten representatives by phone call to take back their signatures and give up the decision," Kabul parliamentarian Nazifa Zakee said.
"The House of Representatives has the right to impeach some ineffective ministers but the government improperly interferes in the House," Kunar parliamentarian Wazhma Safee said.
Others said the reasons for the impeachment were incorrect.
"The reasons for Ismail Khan's impeachment by the House are meaningless – every minister has the right to have some meetings with the Mujahedeen," Ghour parliamentarian Sima Joinda said.
Khan has said that his reasons for forming the militia outside of the national security forces is to help secure the country where Nato has failed.

text: Jackson Hole Mountain Resort "Thankful" for Opening Day Celebrations Date: 12/3/2013 Share | Teton Village, WY (December 3, 2013) -- Last Friday, November 29th, 2013, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) hosted over 4,300 skiers and snowboarders in Teton Village for a Community Ski FREE Day. The FREE ski day was organized as a thank you to the community for its help in achieving the #1 Ski Resort ranking by Ski Magazine for 2014. The day was a mix of #1 fun surprises including live music, raffle prizes, food and drink specials and the opening of the Bridger Gondola to accommodate the large number of skiers and riders. "People came from all over our region to ski, shop, eat, listen to music, and to donate to charitable causes. Overall everyone had a great time, and it was exhilarating to see Teton Village full of such great energy on opening weekend," stated JHMR President, Jerry Blann. Thanks to the generous cash donations of all who enjoyed FREE ski day over $1,600 was raised for Teton Adaptive Sports scholarship fund and Friends of Pathways. With the JHMR match each non-profit received a total of $2013. "We are excited to be able to help give back to our community, and JHMR was happy to exceed a matched donation to both non-profits. This is exactly the type of outcome we hoped for," noted Blann. Thanks to the new resort partner Jeep, over 1,500 number #1 cookies (lovingly baked by the great team at Persephone Bakery) were handed out, and thousands were introduced to the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. "We were so pleased to be part of this celebration," commented Jeff Golightly, Chamber of Commerce CEO. "We had a record turn-out at the Town Square lighting Friday evening and excellent feedback from the "White Friday" concept to ask locals to stay, ski, shop and dine locally at this time of year. Working together with JHMR to get this word out makes sense, and I believe strongly we saw the results on Friday. Guests came to Jackson Hole from as far as Seattle, WA as well as large numbers from throughout Wyoming, Idaho and Utah, " Golightly added. With a significant winter storm dropping almost two feet of snow in the last two days, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort now has 111 inches of snow season to date. With this new snow, JHMR is planning to open more terrain and lifts by the weekend. Visit jacksonhole.com for the most up to date information. **** Named #1 North American Overall Resort by SKI Magazine readers for 2014, Jackson Hole continues to famously deliver epic powder snow, 4,139 continuous vertical feet, 2500 acres of the best beginner, intermediate and expert skiing and snowboarding in North America and a genuine "Last of the Old West" atmosphere. Neighboring the legacy National Parks of Yellowstone and Grand Teton and operating in Bridger Teton National Forest, there is no more spectacular setting for a destination resort in the world. And now Jackson Hole is one of the most easily accessed destination resorts in the West with direct flights from twelve major cities, including new non-stop flights from JFK, Houston and Seattle in addition to San Francisco, Minneapolis and Newark last winter.

A word from Il Palio
Il Palio was named after the race held each summer in Siena, Italy. Created with a passion, the restaurant has been exquisitely designed and beautifully finished with materials from all over the world. No stone was left unturned and time was not a factor in finding exactly what was required to make the "vision" a reality. The atmosphere created is one of quiet comfort in surroundings reminiscent of an Italian villa. The friendly and courteous staff, the outstanding food, and the efficient service all contribute to the ambiance felt by those who visit the restaurant. Il Palio's fine Tuscan cuisine is a pleasing combination of the highest-quality ingredients and the caring preparation by chefs who take pride in the dishes they present. Like the race in Siena, Il Palio is creating lasting impressions.Continued

- Always awesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/20/2014Had another wonderful experience at Il Palio - the service and food are always "spot on" - great choices for appitizers, main courses - plus specials - and if you have room for dessert - they are great too. My only complaint is that the room is noisy - I wish they could add some "sound system" to absorb" some of the noise - but if you are looking for great service and a wonderful meal, check out Il Palio - you won't be disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Come For The Food...GardenweaselVIPDined on 9/20/2014return for the service! Or is it the other way around?

Staff is warm and hospitable and the restaurant is great for romantic evenings. Prices are moderate and wines very reasonable. We were so delighted and pleased we found this gem in Connecticut while staying in the area.Enjoy!Special Features:

The staff is friendly and make you feel welcome. Service was very prompt and attentive without going too far. From the breads to the salads and the pasta - all were the best and freshest quality. My seafood pasta was cooked to perfection with generous amount of seafood, fresh made pasta and a delicate balance of flavor beyond the sophistication of most restaurants.

From the minute we entered, the restaurant staff made us feel welcomed and appreciated. The decor was muted and pleasant. Our waiter described the night's specials in detail, and answered any questions we had. We both had a glass of wine, and ordered the buffalo mozzarella with prosciutto appetizer. The prosciutto was fresh cut at a station that was set up in the middle of the dining room. For our entrées my wife ordered the halibut, and I, the veal scaloppini. Both were fantastic. The wait staff was attentive, but not intrusive. The manager came by to inquire about our meal and experience. E finished with cappuccinos and small cheese cakes. A memorable meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We weren't rushed at all. Since I mentioned through my OpenTable reservation that it was a special anniversary, we received complimentary glasses of Prosecco and candles in our desserts. There was a lot to choose from on the menu. My husband had the special homemade pasta, with a peach and vegetable sauce, which was excellent.

Authorities are investigating the death of an infant after she was found unresponsive in a dog bed on the Southwest Side Sunday morning.
Police officers found 1-month-old Zaniya Gordon unresponsive about 7 a.m. at a home in the 1300 block of West 110th Place, authorities said. Zaniya, of the 1300 block of South May Street, was found in a dog bed and pronounced dead shortly after, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
Child welfare workers are investigating allegations of neglect against Zaniya's mother, said Jimmie Whitelow, a spokesman for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. The infant's mother faced similar allegations in a prior DCFS investigation launched last month, Whitelow said.
Welfare workers removed a child from the mother's care, Whitelow said, adding that the child is living with relatives.
The Chicago Police Department is also investigating Zaniya's death, said Police News Affairs Officer Joshua Purkiss.
An autopsy for Zaniya is scheduled for Monday.

Extras To consider
Reviewer: A viewer from Davis, IL US
With so many reviews already written, You do not need my comments on the operation of this vise. It probably may not outperform some of the $3-500 engineering masterpieces in all applications. I give it 4 stars for functionality and another star for economy. There are two things that the other reviews do not mention.
First, with little or no work the vise can easily be reconfigured for four custom applications. The standard configuration works for day to day tying and is convertable to left hand mode. The Midge configuration gives the tyer a standard 45 degree angle non-rotary jaw with access all around the hook. The extension arm configuration provides the room needed for flies with long wings or tails. The "Clouser" configuration provides a parallel jaw if one does a lot of Clousers. While other vises require shaft extensions that cost $50 or more, the Danvise requires drilling just one hole in the coulet.
Second, ever since getting the vise, I have recieved excellent service and advice from Al and Gretchen Beatty the national distributors. They are easily contacted by eMail. The Danvise has stood the test of time.
good value
Reviewer: A viewer from Calgary, AB CA
After reading lots about the Danvise, I decided to order one as a backup. It was exactly as I expected given the reading I had done. It is lightweight, but don't let that tell you that it can't be a great vise. If it were stolen, I would order another without even thinking. Thanks JS!
Danvise light on pocket not on features
Reviewer: A viewer from ARMIDALE, NSW AU
Bought a Danvise ... don't understand peoples attitudes towards modern materials.
This is a great tool, easy to set up and very easy to use...as long as you follow the instruction DVD.
It holds very large hooks and very small also.
Such a sturdy piece of equipment, more people should buy one.
Excellent starter
Reviewer: A viewer from Chapin, SC US
This is an excellent value in a vise for someone wanting to get into tying. Hooks hold firm and the rotary feature is appreciated in a vise at this price point. Could use some room back behind the jaws, but they sell an extension arm. After a couple of years, it does have nicks and dings in the jaws, but it is likely due to my not adjusting it effectively when changing hook sizes all the time.
Best Vise for the money...
Reviewer: A viewer from Queensbury, NY US
This is a great vise for all tiers. As a tying instructor I recommend this vise to all new tiers after they know they will continue with the art. For an advanced tier this vise will give years of service and also makes a very light travel vise for trips or seminars. I do recommend the extension arm especially for those with larger hands. There is a little play in some of the connections and I do wish the stem was a bit longer so I don't have to lean over when tying on low tables or with high chairs. Over all the best value I have ever seen and will hold any hook you want.

Shabbat HaGadol 5774
Rabbi Fryer Bodzin
Pesach is a challenge. We all know that. The preparation is hard on some. The eating restrictions and additions are hard for some of us. Some of us travel. Some of us live in homes with various degrees of kashrut observance. If you have been there, that is never easy. Some of us are getting older and changing over dishes has become too much of a burden. Some of us have kids who just don't care.
But one challenge that we all share, if we are aware of it or not, is the way in which we celebrate our Pesach Sedarim, as presented in the Haggadah, whether scholarly or Sammy the Spider.
We have inherited a tradition that includes:
a) a festival about preserving memory
b) rituals that are about imagination.
How are we supposed to remember the story? What happens when ritual becomes destructive? What happens when the ritual overtakes the memory? Lots of Jewish families get together for a meal sometime in April that is indistinguishable from Thanksgiving. There is no talk of Moses, Sea of Reeds, God or miracles.
What is it that we remember on Pesach? We are supposed to remember the Exodus from Egypt. But how does Chad Gadya tell the story of the Exodus? How does Zayda's wine stained Haggadah help us remember that we were once slaves? Have you ever stopped to wonder: what is the connection between sponge cake and the miracles?
On Pesach we tell a story in order to preserve it. In fact, our central anxiety around Pesach is not whether or not we can eat legumes for this special week, (that is a relatively new phenomenon), but rather the central anxiety of Pesach is the fear of forgetting.
So we have created an abundance of rituals that enable us to remember.
But with that, comes the concern that we will not remember why we are doing what we are doing. It is, according to Dr. Yehudah Kurtzer, an unhealthy obsession that we all have. We try to remember the historical event with play acting and storytelling and getting kids involved. But sometimes, we end up being too far distanced from the historical event of Yetziat mitzrayim.
When such a radical imagination is incorporated into the ritual we know as the Passover Seder, are we still remembering the story?
I think the answer is yes. We just need tools to remember. Just like we need a sefer Torah and chumashim to remember the words of the Torah, we need a Haggadah to remember the story of Pesach. There are too many of us, spread out around the world, thank God, to maintain an oral tradition. And to keep it interesting, fun stuff was added to it.
But we always use tools to remember. We have alarms and Microsoft Outlook, and Lett's pocket diaries, and Franklin Covey organizers, and red rubber bands, and calendars and photographs and phonebooks and post it notes. We use multiple sensory mechanisms to remember. We are only human, why shouldn't we use tools to help us remember the story of Passover, when our ancestors left Egypt?
In the second chapter of the book of Exodus we read the following:
A long time after that, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites were groaning under their bondage and cried out. And their cry for help from the bondage rose up to God. God heard their moaning and God remembered His covenant with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. God looked upon the Israelites and God took notice of them.
Even God needed a sensory act in order to remember. Therefore, when we use memory tools on Pesach, be it the frog song, or reciting the Maggid section word for word, we are acting b'tzelem Elokim. When we sit at the Seder table, with all of the silly and serious memory mechanisms that are artfully weaved into the Haggadah, we are acting in the image of God.
If the God that you believe in is completely omniscient, then let me offer another well known example of God needing a little something to jog God's memory.
Exdous 12: 13
And the blood on the houses where you are staying shall be a sign for you; when I see the blood, I will pass over you, so that no plague will destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
God needed the sign? God did not just know? According to the verse, the red blood helped God remember on a night when there was a lot on God's agenda to do. If doors with red blood were spotted, then it would make God's job easier. Red door-don't smite, move on.
In the introduction to the New American Haggadah of 2012, Jonathan Safran Foer writes that the Haggadah is not a work of history or philosophy, not a prayer book, user's manual, timeline, poem or palimpsest-and yet it is all of these things. The Torah is the foundational text for Jewish laws, but the Haggadah is our book of living memory.
We need a Haggadah and a couple Seders to remember, just like God needed the blood on the doors.
Living memory to me means we begin each Seder with both a communal and a very personal set of memories. Every time we sit down at a Seder table, we bring with us not only our understanding of what happened in Egypt, but we bring with us every Seder experience we ever had-as children standing on chairs asking the four questions, and sad memories of the years when our parents were too frail and Seder move to our homes, the year too many dishes broke, the year the oven decided not to work, the years of snow, rain and heat. We bring with us the memory of a Pesach that was too early and a Pesach that came too late. We think back to those first Seders with our children's girlfriends and boyfriends who we now love like our own children. We bring with us memories of afikoman hiding spots and we look around the table and desperately miss those people who are not with us anymore.
When we sit down for Seder, we bring with us a chaotic symphony of personal memories, but fortunately the Haggadah always guides us back to remembering our ancestors' experience, our collective memory of Avadim Hayinu l'Paroah B'mitzrayim.
Therefore, on this Shabbat haGadol, just days before we once again sit at our Seder tables, let us all remember:
Slaves, that is what we were-slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt. And wrested free, were we, by the Lord God-of-Us, lifted out of that place in the mighty hand of an outstretched arm.
And if the Holy One, blessed is He, had not taken our fathers out of Egypt, then what of us? We, and our children, and our children's children would be enslaved to Pharaoh in Egypt.
Were it that we are all learned and enlightened, all of us rich with the wisdom of old age and well versed in the Torah, still the obligation to tell of the Exodus from Egypt would rest upon us.
We were once slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt. Now we are free people.
Shabbat shalom

Cookout, Wilmington, NC, Revisited.
About this time last year I posted a review of the Cookout Restaurant in Wilmington, NC and it has become one of the most popular reviews I've done. I'm a bit surprised since the review panned the ordering system and talked more about a mistake in the order. After some careful thought I decided that maybe they deserved a second look so I hit them the other day to see how it was.
The menu hasn't changed, it's still hard to read (lots of pretty colors and fonts are used) but this time I knew ahead of time what to order. I got two small cheeseburgers with ketchup, mustard, and pickles. I tried to get jalapenos so it would be the same burger I get at Five Guys for a comparison, but they don't have them. The burgers were cheap, real cheap. I paid about $2.70 for both of them. There were good too, in a fast food sense. I'd rank them as better than MacDonalds and Burger King, on a par with Checkers and Andy's, and nowhere near a Five Guys.

Olympia Restaurant, Wilmington, NC
I like Greek food, and my favorite dish is the Gyro, so when my daughter Rachel made the suggestion that we try the Olympia Restaurant on Oleander Dr in Wilmington, NC, I quickly agreed. It turned out to be a very nice Greek restaurant. Not too big and not too small, but they have a small party room and outdoor dining. Not that I'd eat outdoors when the heat index was well over a hundred degrees mind you.
We looked over the menu and I was leaning toward one of the seafood dishes or a pasta dish, but changed my mind. I wanted what I consider traditional Greek food. We shared the hummus with pita for $6.95 (it was a very large portion) and I had the Gyro Pita at $7.95 (please note the picture above), in fact we had three more of them at the table plus another one with chicken. The tzatziki sauce was excellent, creamy and garlicky and the pita was fresh too. The kids had chicken fingers with fries off the children's menu and Teresa had the Greek salad and a side of Greek potatoes. Everything was great and all told it was just over ninety dollars, less tip, for six adults and three kids, including two bottles of Mythos. I had the Mythos, the kids had seltzer water. The lunch menu is a bit cheaper.
It's a nice place to eat, and the bathrooms are clean too. That's important when you take the family out for dinner. They have a website for more information.

Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn, Wilmington, NC
Hot, Fast, Cheap and Easy, that's the motto of Flaming Amy's Burrito Barn on Oleander in Wilmington, NC. They have other comments too, like; if your food doesn't arrive in five minutes, it probably will in another five or ten minutes, if it's too loud you may be too old, lighten up, just because we call this a barn doesn't mean you have to act like you were raised in one. The sign on the door says, no smoking, no idiots. I like that last one, but I wasn't sure if I could go in. I did anyway and I was glad I did.
You enter and stand in line for the counter. The line can get long; in fact the line went out the door as we were finishing our meals. The line does move fast though and you have time to look at the menu on the wall to decide what to order. When you get to the counter you order and they give you a number for the table, the tattooed waitress brings you the food. The place has an interesting rough and kitschy feel to it, but good for a family.
I got the Big Fat Greek Burrito, black olives, banana peppers, spinach, red onions, lettuce, tomatoes, feta cheese and your choice of meat. I got the chicken. Teresa had the Big Jerk, roasted red peppers, pineapple jalapeno salsa, sour cream, cheese, rice, beans and chicken. They each cost $6.95 and came with nachos on the side. Add a soda and it all came to $17.12 tax included. They have several specialty burritos, and you can custom order whatever you like. There are also quesadillas and nachos.
One of the neatest things is the salsa bar for the nachos. They have nine different kinds and my favorites were the chipotle tomatillo and the wasabi avocado.
Overall it's a fun place to have some good food for a reasonable price. Check out their website for more information.

Capitol City Brewing, Washington, DC
In our nation's capitol there is a brewpub called appropriately enough, Capitol City Brewing. They have three locations; one on Capitol Hill, one downtown, and another in Arlington. We ate at the one on Capitol Hill, next to Union Station in the Post Office Museum. This place is very large, but it was virtually empty late Sunday night.
I had the Hickory Burger pictured above, with cheese, bacon and hickory BBQ sauce for eleven dollars. It was a good burger, but the problem was it was swimming in BBQ sauce. If you order it, ask for the sauce on the side so you can add what you want. Teresa had a salad that was okay. Food was good, but pricey for a brewpub.
I had two beers. They were out of the IPA so I had the Porter, which was pretty good. I made a mistake on the second when I tried the Red, Wheat and Blue. It was a wheat beer flavored with strawberries and blueberries. Not a bad wheat, but a bit too fruity for my taste.
If you're in DC, stop in and try them out. Check out their website for more information.

Country Griddle, Flemington, NJ
This is another place we've driven past countless times and wondered what it was like. The parking lot is always full, and there are some cheap specials listed outside. Well, today we decided to stop and try it. It's an older restaurant, styled after the homestyle family dining concept of the 70's and it's probably been around that long.
We looked over the menu and they had some nice specials. What caught my eye were two things; Country Fried Steak and eggs, and French Toast with eggs, bacon and sausage. The latter won out and we both ordered it. The portion was huge. Two filling meals for $16.00, plus tip.

le Steak frites, Montreal
We wandered around Old Montreal a few times trying to decide what to eat when we saw le Steak frites on Rue Saint Paul. It looked interesting and I knew that frites means fries, and that steak means steak, so we stopped in.
I got the steak frites at $18.00 (Canadian) which was a nice cut of shoulder meat cooked medium rare, just as I asked, with green beans, a small salad, and fries. They give you a couple of good rolls too. Very good rolls. I also ordered escargot for an appetizer, good as well. Teresa just had French Onion Soup and some green beans, but I did get her to try a snail.
It is a BYOB restaurant, but they have soft drinks available. I'm a big fan of tap water myself. Food was good, service good, overall a nice experience. They have a website where they show you what some of the entrees look like.
Creme de la Creme Cafe, Montreal
Montreal is a very European city, and is probably as close to being in France as one can get without leaving the continent, this continent that is. The city is small and easy to get around in, and full of places to eat. Many of them are excellent and full of old world charm. Situated at 21 Rue De La Commune is a neat example of this called Creme de La Creme Cafe.
At first glance one sees a stone building with outdoor table service. We stopped to look at the menu and it was interesting, but we were still shopping for lunch and started moving on. What changed my mind was when I saw the waitress deliver two delightful looking melted sandwiches to a table. I got as close as I could to get a better look, and smell, without being blatantly rude of course, and decided this was our place. We decided to eat inside as the sky was getting dark and threatening.
Inside was stone and wood with a long bar. On entering we heard French music playing, a female vocalist. We chose a table near the door so that we could watch the passersby, and the impending storm. Our waitress came over and said, "Bonjour!" When we replied "Hello," she immediately switched to English with a lovely accent, more French than Canadian, and presented us with menus. We asked for ice water and I got a local micro-brewed stout. I forget the name, but that's probably because the beer was unremarkable.
What was remarkable was the food. I got baked pepperoni, ham and cheese with a spicy mustard. I came with a salad. Teresa had an open faced turkey melt with salad and coffee. The bread tasted fresh, as did the rest of the ingredients. Also remarkable was the service. Very polite, quick, and amenable. Très agréable, as the French say. Our waitress even saw me reading the local newspaper, I was looking at the horoscopes, and she asked if I wanted her to read and translate them for me.
It turned out to be a stroke of genius, or more like a stroke of pure dumb luck that we chose Creme De La Creme as it started to pour the minute we sat down and continued until we finished our meal. This did give a nice cool breeze and even more entertainment as we watched the pedestrians running down the street.

Alaska Pete's Road House Grill, Stroudsburgh, PA
We've passed by Alaska Pete's a few times when we travelled through the Poconos to avoid interstates on holiday weekends and it looked interesting, but the timing was never right to eat. This time we'd spent two hours in traffic and were hungry so I pulled in. Inside it's a bit like Northern Exposure meets Outback. It is large, and they have a large parking lot so I assume they must get busy here at times, but it was fairly empty when we stopped in.
The menu is typical roadhouse with the usual steaks and sandwiches, plus a couple of burgers. I was a bit burgered out so I decided to try the Alaska Pete's Cheesesteak at $9.49 and Teresa had the Chicken Cheesesteak for the same price. They turned out to be good choices. The rolls seemed fresh-baked and the insides were flavorful. The fries were hot and crispy too.
We'll stop by again. Check out their website for more info.

Lancaster Brewing Company, Lancaster, PA
Pennsylvania is full of brewpubs, one better than the other. One nice find is Lancaster Brewing Company in Lancaster. It sits in an old building on North Plum Street, a few minutes away from the shopping outlets, and they kept the rustic charm. Lots of wood and beams with the brewing kettles exposed.
It took a few minutes to look through the menu, it isn't huge but I like a limited menu sometimes because when a restaurant limits the menu, they do things right. Brian said this and I agree with him. I decided on the Angus Burger, pictured above, with bacon, cheddar cheese and fries. A plate of deliciousness for nine bucks. Teresa had the Brewer's Chicken at eight bucks, Nicole had the Black Bean Burger at eight bucks and Brian had the Turkey Dagwood for eight-fifty, with a delicious bowl of white chile for five bucks. All told, four meals and four beers for under sixty bucks plus tip. Good bargain for good food.
My favorite beer is the Milk Stout, it has a good flavor without being heavy, a good summer stout. Pictured with the burger is the Hop Hog IPA, a nice hoppy IPA. I had one of each. Ashley did a nice job waiting on us, and apologized profusely that the chile came out with the meal, instead of before and said they'd take it off if we didn't want it. That was fine with us though as the chile was worth waiting for.
Overall, a great dining experience and I recommend them. Check out their website for more info and stop by to eat if you happen to be in Lancaster.

Surf and Turf Burger from Cafe Mio in Gardiner, NY
Interesting combination of burger, shrimp, and horseradish sauce on a ciabatta roll. The fries had an interesting seasoning that added a nice touch. I already did a review of them.
