Why Donation why not Responsibility?
When we give certain amount to some social organization we say "i have Donated the amount to XYZ org"??? Is it not your responsibility to create changes? is it not your responsibility to think about the development of the nation?
If Yes then why Donation?

Mar 7 2011: Thank you, very good point shiv. In America we are programmed that way. We are shrunken down to make sure we do not implement too much. After all the queen loves the sounds of new screams and torment. I'm kind of kidding, but the truth is poverty creates the dynamic for the future and much of what is going on are simple education examples for the future. If we took the responsibility we actually all kind of share and and implement it, we may find a havoc break down in the future. Though I do not agree people in this world need to be extremely poor, and much of the "examples" become spiteful I had to do it now its your turn kind of thing. That ultimately halts progression. The issue is how much do we need from our nation and how much is from other nation to create the new level of share responsibility. Again this almost always comes down to people not agreeing with the birth-rate. You can even sense it in most donors voices. Though we must agree individuals must treated individually and loose association will be dealt with individually.
Mar 27 2011: I see where you going and again this is a sensitive topic. The difference between empty knowledge such as hands off exterior corporation sales. Such as mortgage sales as a finance degree job, its creates little experience. Most quality companies place their CEO and operations directly amongst the company and there are several.
An order must be established that allows for a mutual goal in order to do this. A significant concern I will mention here is the lack of the publics ability to correlate opportunity. They often see people as dispensable and believe things can always be temporary concerns. This issue simply is inexperience and unqualified people, not to be confused with capable people, but rather people who disregard responsibility to one another have created macro perspectives through law firms and government to continually dismiss good national companies in all nations. They often have made lower and non-regulated conversation of a lesser value more and more common including as we see in rap culture as well as many others; use it for inspiration don't necessarily adopt their words.

Labor Day is two weekends away. Many people consider Labor Day to be the last big vacation weekend of the summer. Arizonans are taking advantage of the holiday and are expected to travel more this year, according to AAA. An estimated 678,000 Arizonans will travel over Labor Day weekend, AAA found. That's an increase of 5.8 percent from last year.If you're hitting the road, you're one of 566,000 Arizonans who plan to drive to their labor day destination. Drivers increased by 6 percent from 2012. Those flying to their destinations will be among more than 57,000 Arizonans who plan to take a plane to their labor day destination. Flyers increased too, by 4.2 percent from last summer. We're not only taking a break, we're helping the economy! Traveling Arizonans spend an average of $670 on Labor Day getaways.
Gas prices in-state are at an average of $3.44, but AAA says prices could increase depending on how hurricane season pans out and the level of unrest in the middle east.

One of the oldest churches in North America, Notre-Dame-des-Victoires was built atop the ruins of Champlain's first outpost. After being severely damaged during the Siege of Québec, the church was rebuilt in 1763. The interior décor bears witness to Québecers' faith and history. A model of the Brézé, the ship commanded by the marquis of Tracy, can be seen inside the church, along with numerous votive offerings. The church continues the tradition of blessing and handing out little buns on the feast day of its patron saint, St. Genevieve.

How To Stop a Bully
Even as the Harvey Weinstein-produced film Bully falls flat, Jewish schools are trying new programs that do more than simply raise awareness
Our other task is to empower bystanders to stand up to bullies. But we can't expect them to do it in a vacuum. (You see that in the movie, when an entire school bus full of children, plus the bus driver, ignore or mock the boy being pounded on.) We need to create an environment in which kids have the support to speak up and the expectation that kindness is standard operating procedure. "The school-wide programs that work are effective on multiple levels," Novick said. "The theory is that one has to get bystanders to send a message through the peer culture that bullying isn't acceptable; they can take the bullies down a notch from their power base. But you can't get them to do it if they're surrounded by a culture of adults that aren't caring bystanders. We need shared responsibility: We make this place. You need rules and consequences, and that's a schoolwide thing."
Despite our notions of Jewish kids being smart and intellectual, bullying can be as prevalent in Jewish schools as anywhere else. I have friends who've pulled their kids out of Jewish day schools that valued achievement over kindness, where students and teachers alike conveyed disgust for kids with dyslexia, Asperger's, sensory processing issues, or other learning differences. Jewish schools and shmancier secular schools may also have issues with girl bullying (more contextual and more insidious than the physical bullying that both the movie and my colleague Liel restrict themselves to discussing) and with bullying magnified by social media and technology.
At the same time, though, parents at upper-middle-class schools who've been sensitized to the trendiness of the word "bullying" and who take helicopter parenting to new heights tend to see all teasing as bullying. "There's a difference," one parenting expert told me, "but oversensitive parents tend to call about every little unkindness. Sometimes the school is right to tell parents to back off, which can be tough for upper-middle-class parents to hear. But intervening all the time can really hurt kids in the long run; ultimately, kids feel good about handling their own problems, and if we undermine them and give them the message that they can't handle things, we're not doing them any favors."
Some Jewish schools are tackling the problem thoughtfully. SAR Academy, for instance, a Jewish day school in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, has recently started using Social Decision Making, a research-based program by anti-bullying expert Maurice Elias; the school has already seen a reduction in bullying and teasing. Around 20 Jewish schools use Novick's BRAVE program.
But it can be challenging to prove to Jewish parents that they're sacrificing something valuable on the altar of achievement. "What's more important: Being a mensch or getting into an Ivy League college?" Schwab asked. "Some Jewish schools need to stand up to parents more and say, 'We'll prepare them for college, but first we're going to make them mensches. We need to put derekh eretz first, and then academics.' Schools have to engage the parents, teachers, and the board—everyone needs to be on the same page."
Lest we feel too hopeless, Novick pointed out that in some ways, our people are ahead of the game. "We have our Jewish masoret [tradition] about being upstanding bystanders on a humanitarian and individual level; there have been so many individual Jews who've made a difference by not standing idly by while people are tormented. I think it's in our religious heritage because we know all too well what it feels like to be victims. But the fact that something's in our genotype doesn't mean it's always being expressed in the phenotype. We have a long way to go to make it part of our children's being that they can't stand by and watch another person suffer." On screen, or in life.
While Bully doesn't offer a lot of useful, concrete solutions, other resources do.
• Dr. Michele Borba, my favorite parenting expert, offers strategies parents can share with kids to help them speak up when other kids are being mean, as well as a fascinating Dateline segment actually showing how one "cool" kid can have an impact by sticking up for a nerdy kid.
• Here's where you can learn what to do when your daughter is dealing with mean girls.
• Here's how to recognize your own kid's bullying tendencies.
• Give your 3rd- through 6th-grader the new novel Wonder by R.J. Palacio, the best kids' book about bullying I've ever read. Unlike the movie, the novel shows how hard it is to stand up to bullies, how seductive a bully can be, and how challenging it can be to change from being a bystander to being an ally. The story of a boy with facial deformities in an elite prep school, it's moving, funny, a very quick read, and a great book for parents to discuss with kids. The portrayal of a cultured, well-off mother who couches her bullying in false concern for others should make many parents squirm.
• Teaching Tolerance is a terrific organization that offers a magazine and teaching kits free to teachers. Its website has tons of resources on being kind. Teaching Tolerance is perhaps best-known for Mix It Up At Lunch Day, an event in which thousands of schools participate, when kids are encouraged to sit with people they don't usually sit with in the cafeteria. You'd be surprised at the impact mixing up the usual groups can have.
Lastly, there is one useful piece of information connected to the documentary. On the vast and mostly unhelpful Bully website is a section called Creating Just and Caring Communities: A Road Map for Parents, created by the Bullying Prevention Initiative at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. (It's in PDF form, and hard to find on the flash-heavy site, but go to Download Tool Kits for Parents and you'll find it.) The upshot: Parents need to stop obsessing about our kids' own self-esteem and happiness, and focus on their concern for others (a counterintuitive notion for many parents today). "It means encouraging our children to give other children credit for their achievements, requiring children to be respectful of others even when they're preoccupied, and letting our children know when they're not listening to others or dominating the airwaves in conversations," the Harvardians say. Parents need to set expectations that kids will do chores and be kind as a matter of course, not as something we applaud. We need to insist that our kids be nice even to dorky kids. We need to teach them to respect difference. We need to point out examples of injustice and unfairness in the news. And I loved this little nugget: "Almost all parents think they're good role models for their kids. But often as parents we are very focused on our own children, and we don't model concern for other people's children. Many parents, for example, want children with behavior problems or special needs removed from a classroom because those children are interfering with their children's learning. Our children are not likely to develop respect and concern for others who are struggling if we don't model this concern."

State Rep. Paul Battles, of Cartersville, has proposed legislation that would allow school administrators to undergo annual state peace officer firearms training and be certified to carry weapons on campus. Though he supports HB 35, a guest columnist says state law already allows administrators to possess firearms on campuses. A retired pediatrician suggests addressing gun control in a multifaceted manner.
Existing law allows armed principals
By John Monroe
GeorgiaCarry.Org agrees with the general proposition ensconced in HB 35, that our schools would be safer if responsible citizens could be armed on campus. GeorgiaCarry also agrees that firearms training is a good idea for everyone, even those who do not own or carry firearms. The specifics of HB 35, however, make the bill difficult to incorporate into existing law.
HB 35 would permit school boards to designate certain school administrators to undergo state Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) instruction and then be authorized to carry firearms in schools. The difficulty is that existing law already is more expansive than that. Under O.C.G.A. 16-11-127.1(c)(6), a "duly authorized official of the school" may authorize anyone (not just school administrators) to carry a firearm at a school. Presumably, a school principal is a duly authorized official and may therefore authorize anyone, including himself or herself, to carry a firearm. Existing law has no training requirement.
If enacted, HB 35 would create another avenue by which a school administrator could be armed at school, by permission of the school board. It seems highly unlikely, however, that the provisions of HB 35 ever would be utilized. Given that the school principal already has the power to arm herself, her staff, her teachers and even her students' parents, going through the more cumbersome steps of seeking school board approval and paying for training in a course that has not yet been developed are not likely to be pursued.
In addition to existing avenues for school officials to authorize anyone to carry firearms at schools, existing law also permits those with weapons carry licenses to carry firearms in schools under certain circumstances, without the knowledge or consent of school officials. Under O.C.G.A. 16-11-127.1(c)(7), a person with a license may carry a firearm in a school "when such person carries or picks up a student." Licensees also may have firearms in their cars in school parking lots. Many parents take advantage of these provisions today on a regular basis when they take their children to and from school.
Georgia has a vast, untapped resource available to it to help protect its schools. There are some 600,000 Georgians with weapons carry licenses who have undergone criminal and mental health background checks by state and federal law enforcement agencies. Many of them are administrators, staff, teachers and parents who regularly are present on school grounds. Modifying the law so that such people are not prohibited from carrying firearms in school buildings, even when not picking up or dropping off students, would immediately enhance the ability of Georgia schools to protect themselves against aggressive attacks.
John Monroe is vice president of GeorgiaCarry.Org.
Let us make our children safe
By Noel Preston
Georgia has 2,487 public schools. The last fatal school shooting was at Monticello in August 1999. It makes no sense to pay, train, equip and insure 2,487 school principals to patrol schools that have had no fatal shootings for 13 years.
Some of our school campuses are so large, the principal and the invader might be a quarter-mile from each other, and the invader could shoot dozens of children before being shot or captured. The principal might be at an off-campus meeting when the invader arrived. The principal could hardly be expected to maintain firearm proficiency by having only two days a year of shooting practice. Expecting a principal to risk his or her own life without receiving a substantial pay raise and necessary health insurance for hazardous duty seems unfair and unrealistic.
Many factors make it easy for invaders to shoot school children. A sensible approach to reduce school shootings must be multifaceted as well. Some shooters were victims of bullying; reducing bullying at school is an obvious first step. Children are not afraid of metal detectors at airports, and would not be afraid of them at school, either.
Claiming "guns don't kill people, people kill people" is absurd. Too many small children accidentally kill their parents, siblings and other folk while playing with a gun that was supposedly locked up, unloaded and out of reach. Making it harder for anyone to get any firearm is critical. Requiring gun buyers to have criminal background checks and their drivers' licenses screened for previous road rage or aggressive driving events, and addressing previous mental health concerns by providing prescription records for mind-altering drugs before being allowed to purchase a firearm, are all logical steps to curtail mass shootings. So is closing the loophole that waives the requirement for criminal background checks for purchasers of firearms sold at gun shows.
Gun control advocates claim the Second Amendment was written to protect the rights of farmers to have single-shot squirrel rifles, not to allow crazy people to have assault rifles. When the Second Amendment was written, the "government" didn't have assault rifles, either.
Any attempt to bring about gun control must not interfere with the right of the citizenry to bear arms. The Second Amendment is one of the reasons America went to war against England in the first place. It's not going away.
Now, while the images of freckle-faced little children, some of them missing their two front teeth, stare at us from the pages of newspapers and television screens, now, while their faces cry out to us for action, now, while we feel ashamed for failing to protect them, now we must act.
Get rid of the assault rifle. Get rid of armor-piercing bullets and anti-personnel ammunition. Only an outright ban on these machines of murder, these instruments of killing innocent young children who still dream of puppies and tooth fairies and Santa Claus, will do any good.
And let us make our children safe.

"Get rid of the assault rifle. Get rid of armor-piercing bullets and anti-personnel ammunition. Only an outright ban on these machines of murder, these instruments of killing innocent young children who still dream of puppies and tooth fairies and Santa Claus, will do any good."
This statement is chock-full of ignorance. As others have said, Assault Rifles are already regulated to the point of being essentially unobtainable and aren't even a part of the Assault Weapons ban.
Regarding ammo: would you care to define what "anti-personnel" ammunition is? How does it differ from standard hunting ammo(which is designed to kill a deer as quickly and efficiently as possible)? How is it different from standard FMJ practice ammunition? How does it differ from match-grade ammunition?
Frankly it sounds like you heard a scary word and had the knee-jerk reaction of "OMG BAN IT!!1!1″ without even having a clue of what it is or if it even exists. This probably bothers me the most about the calls for new bans; the people proposing these bans are completely ignorant as to what they are banning! Sometimes they are trying to ban something that doesn't even exist! You may as well add heat-seeking baby-killer bullets to the banned item list.
Also, are you aware that armor-piercing ammo is LESS lethal than standard hunting ammo? Its also expensive, exceedingly rare, and mostly useless. Not one of the mass shootings in the past 30 years has used armor piercing ammo. But none of this matters since the case for banning it has more to do with it sounding scary than actually being a threat.

Each precinct within any urban center shall contain not less than three hundred nor more than one thousand five hundred registered voters. Each precinct in a rural or less thickly settled area shall contain not less than two hundred nor more than seven hundred registered voters, unless upon a written finding by the county commission that establishment of or retention of a precinct of less than two hundred voters would prevent undue hardship to the voters, the secretary of state determines that such precinct be exempt from the two hundred voter minimum limit. If, at any time the number of registered voters exceeds the maximum number specified, the county commission shall rearrange the precincts within the political division so that the new precincts each contain a number of registered voters within the designated limits. If a county commission fails to rearrange the precincts as required, any qualified voter of the county may apply for a writ of mandamus to compel the performance of this duty: Provided, That when in the discretion of the county commission, there is only one place convenient to vote within the precinct and when there are more than seven hundred registered voters within the existing precinct, the county commission may designate two or more precincts with the same geographic boundaries and which have voting places located within the same building. The county commission shall designate alphabetically the voters who will be eligible to vote in each precinct so created. Each such precinct shall be operated separately and independently with separate voting booths, ballot boxes, election commissioners and clerks, and whenever possible, in separate rooms. No two of such precincts may use the same counting board.
(b) In order to facilitate the conduct of local and special elections and the use of election registration records therein, precinct boundaries shall be established to coincide with the boundaries of any municipality of the county and with the wards or other geographical districts of the municipality except in instances where found by the county commission to be wholly impracticable so to do. Governing bodies of all municipalities shall provide accurate and current maps of their boundaries to the clerk of any county commission of a county in which any portion of the municipality is located.
(c) To facilitate the federal and state redistricting process, precinct boundaries must be comprised of intersecting geographic physical features or municipal boundaries recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau. For purposes of this subsection, geographic physical features include streets, roads, streams, creeks, rivers, railroad tracks and mountain ridge lines. The county commission of every county must modify precinct boundaries to follow geographic physical features or municipal boundaries and submit changes to the West Virginia office of legislative services by June 30, 2007 and by the thirtieth day of June, every ten calendar years thereafter. The county commission must also submit precinct boundary details to the U.S. Census Bureau upon request.
The West Virginia office of legislative services shall be available for consultation with the county commission regarding the precinct modification process: Provided, That nothing in this subsection removes or limits the ultimate responsibility of the county commission to modify precinct boundaries to follow geographic physical features.
(d) The provisions of this section are subject to the provisions of section twenty-eight, article four of this chapter relating to the number of voters in precincts in which voting machines are used.
(e) The county commission shall keep available at all times during business hours in the courthouse at a place convenient for public inspection a map or maps of the county and municipalities with the current boundaries of all precincts.

1 cup
cubed red potatoes
1 large
yam, peeled and chopped
4 large
carrots, peeled and sliced
1 large
parsnip, peeled and chopped
jicama, peeled and chopped
turnips, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup
minced fresh rosemary, or to taste
5 tablespoons
olive oil
6 cloves
garlic, minced
1 tablespoon
sea salt
very good.I cut the salt back to 1 tsp though...1 TB of salt is a lot and need to keep things healthier for hubby with high blood pressure. For personal reasons I cut the rosemary in half because I do like it in moderation but am not fond of a strong rosemary flavor. Gets a 4 due to seasoning changes. For me it has to be perfect as written to get a 5.
This was okay. Won't likely make again.

This recipe is amazing, it will surprise you! My husband was skeptical (to say the least) when he saw me cutting up all the root vegetables. I followed the recipe exactly, my husband and I were astounded at how good this turned out. I cut the jicama and turnip into med-small chunks, about thumb size, to help them bake easier. I baked my vegetables in an 11x15 pan for about 70 minutes and stirred them several times while they baked. The vegetables became sweet and slightly caramelized, so good! Thank you for this recipe!!
OH YUM! I used the root vegetables that I had on hand so I did not use jicama or turnips. Doubled up the others. Used about 4 Tablespoons of olive oil and a Tablespoon of fresh snipped rosemary. Perfect and simple and I will make this again & again. Thanks for sharing!
This was really delicious! I left out the potatoes because I was also serving garlic mashed. My supermarket didn't have jicama. I substituted fennel. It was amazing, a great complement to roast lamb for Easter dinner. The fresh rosemary is very important, don't leave it out!
I had received some fresh root veggies in a local produce box I ordered, and decided to use them in this recipe. I did not have jicama, so I replaced it with fennel as another reviewer suggested. I used fresh rosemary and thyme from my herb garden- about 2 Tbsp each. I used a little less olive oil and salt than called for in the recipe, simply based on my personal tastes. Save for those slight adjustments, I stayed true to the recipe and really loved it. Everyone did! The veggies get that sweet, caramelized flavor when they're roasted. Just delicious. Will make this again!
This works with all types of vegetables. I usually use unpealed redskin potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, acorn or butternut squash, shallots or onions, garlic, & mushrooms, tossed with olive oil & whatever spices you like best. Green beans & beets are good, cauliflower & broccoli work, too, but may take less time to bake. All vegetables taste better roasted until they caramalize.
Perfect as is! Everyone LOVED this!

This week, the entertainment Goliath hoped for a hat trick, unveiling its stage version of the 1992 Disney animated tales of genies and flying carpets, Aladdin, at the New Amsterdam Theatre. The Alan Menken-Howard Ashman show had already opened in Canada earlier this year to mixed notices.
The critic from the all-powerful New York Times admitted to entering the theatre predisposed to dislike the show, but found himself won over: "The prospect of Aladdin, promising another weary night in the presence of a spunky youngster and wisecracking animals, didn't exactly set my heart racing. But this latest musical adapted from one of Disney's popular movies, which opened on Thursday night at the New Amsterdam Theater, defied my dour expectations. As directed and choreographed (and choreographed, and choreographed) by Casey Nicholaw, and adapted by the book writer Chad Beguelin, Aladdin has an infectious and only mildly syrupy spirit. Not to mention enough baubles, bangles and beading to keep a whole season of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' contestants in runway attire."
(I'd like to see "Only Mildly Syrupy" in big letters above the New Amsterdam marquee.)
The Hollywood Reporter, too, offered a bad news/good news review, saying, "it's perhaps the most old-school of the company's screen-to-stage adaptations since Beauty and the Beast. But that shouldn't deter audiences from making this splashy Arabian Nights wish-fulfillment fantasy into a family-friendly hit. Directed and choreographed by musical comedy specialist Casey Nicholaw with loads of retro showmanship, an unapologetic embrace of casbah kitsch and a heavy accent on shtick, this is sweet, silly fun."
Nicholaw, in fact, won praise from almost every corner. Newsday saluted "Casey Nicholaw's big, cheerful production — an enjoyable throwback to old-time musical comedy." And New York Magazine perhaps summed up the general attitude of the critical corps when it said, basically, "Let Disney be Disney": "For Aladdin, Disney's team builds on the take-no-chances, take-no-prisoners lessons of its six Broadway predecessors to all but guarantee a quality hit: if not a Lion King, at least not a Tarzan. They wrote the book on this sort of thing, and now, Walt be praised, they're going to heave it at you. This is not as unpleasant an experience as it sounds; if you're up for a meaningless fling, it might as well be with a pro."
Enough good ink to fuel a hit? I should think so.

Why is drinking and driving a bad combination?
Alcohol can be beneficial for the health if you consume it in small quantities . But not everybody can stop after the first drink. Sometimes one glass leads to another and people end up drunk, which gives a feeling of annoying discomfort and influences all of our body systems.
As if it's not bad enough, some people combine drinking with driving, which has a lot of implications for the people around us also. The effects of drinking and driving are always risky and can often be lethal.
Statistics say that every half hour someone will die in an alcohol-related traffic accident and everyone has a 30% lifetime risk of being involved in a motor crash related to alcohol.
Teenagers, especially, are a risk category and one of the effects of teen drinking and driving is that several thousand are killed every year and other 85,000 end up injured.
The truth is that alcohol influences driving no matter how little we drink. Once ingested the blood carries the alcohol to all-important organs that coordinate our activities, including driving. Take a look at the possible effects of intoxication under different BAC levels:
|0.02 – 0.05
|relaxation, slight body warmth, lower inhibition
|0.05 – 0.10
|impairment of speech, vision, balance; sedation, tranquility, slowed reaction time, reduced self-control
|0.10 – 0.20
|slurred speech, blurred vision, poor coordination, loss of balance, slowed thinking and nausea
|0.20 – 0.30
|difficult walking, total mental confusion, double vision, vomiting
|0.30 – 0.40
|may pass out, tremors, memory loss, cool body temperature
|0.40 – 0.50
|difficulty breathing, coma, possible death
|0.50 and up
Specific consequences of drinking on driving skills
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drivers under the influence of alcohol often display certain characteristics when they are on the road:
- perception abilities are affected; they are less likely to observe traffic signs, bikers, pedestrians or cars coming from the opposite side;
- less control on the reactions in traffic situations; the eyes are slower and they remain focused more time on the same objective;
- space perspective narrows; drivers tend to focus more straightforward and don't look to right or left;
- reaction time increases and reflexes diminish; it takes more time to respond fast and adapt to traffic stimuli;
- difficulty driving in a straight line; sometimes driving on the wrong side of the road;
- poor judgement of distances and speed;
- driving at a very slow speed or stopping without cause;
- driving after dark with headlights off;
- tendency to be overconfident and put yourself in danger.
The human life costs of driving drunk
Driving drunk can lead to terrible accidents such as:
- killing someone else;
- losing your own life;
- imprisonment;
- criminal records;
- living with guilt that you injured or caused an accident; depression;
- legal costs;
- increased insurance costs.
True drinking and driving facts
If you think that driving drunk is of no concern, take a look at these sobering facts:
- Alcohol related crashes are the leading cause of death for young Americans, between the ages of 16 and 24 years old;
- For all Americans between 5 and 35 years of age, motor vehicle accidents are the number one cause of death;
- One American life is lost nearly every 30 minutes in alcohol related auto crashes;
- It is estimated that three out of every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol related accident in his or her lifetime;
- 418,000 people have died in alcohol related accidents in the past 20 years;
- Presently over 13,000 people are killed each year in alcohol related accidents;
- Over 300 people are killed each week in alcohol related accidents;
- 45 people are killed each day in alcohol related accidents.

- Beef WellingtonNgomanslandDined on 9/29/2014I had to order ahead for the beef wellington and it awesome. Perfect Medium rare and the truffle gravy (my guess) was amazing. I would definitely go back again. My fiance enjoyed her dinner also... but it was overshadowed by the beef wellington.Special Features:

- Old fashioned diningfoodgirl51VIPDined on 9/19/2014You walk into the dining room and feel as though you went back in time. The waiters are fantastic! They are knowledgeable and charming. The food is very good and they prepare your Caesar salad at your table. Celebrated a friends birthday with two other couples. We all had a wonderful evening. They all want to go back. We were too tired to enjoy the live music but at another time it would be great!Special Features:

- OpenTable Diner Since 1999VIPDined on 9/14/2014After great service and good meals, both lunch and dinner, for over 20+ years, we experienced only fair food and poor waiter service last Sunday night. The food seemed uneven and presented without much thought. The sauce on the Veal tasted like it came out of a can. The waiter serving us in the back room was lacking the custormer service and special treatment we have always had from the owners and staff. This guy was short, prefunctory and arrogant. He rattled off the specials and was not happy when asked to repeat them. He was not happy when asked about a specific dish and was not friendly in any sense of the work. He would have been a great bit player on "Hogans Heros."Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- excelentejulia25Dined on 9/12/2014muy buen ambiente, excelente comida y muy buena atención desde la recepcionista hasta los mozos.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine diningYUMMmmmmDined on 9/8/2014This is where my idea of a "Great Meal" has been enjoyed numerous times w/o question. If you like the flavors of food- here you'll find the flavors of great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old School QualityDfunk24VIPDined on 8/31/2014Love everything about this place - waiters in tuxedos (ours has been working there for 42 years!), flaming dishes tableside, Caesar salad made to order and tasting the way it's supposed to taste. Steaks and veal are the highlights. Everything about this place is old school - in a good way, including getting great food along with great service for a fair price. It's the kind of place where you can easily imagine Sinatra strutting in with his entourage in tow, eating and drinking 'til the joint closed up for the night. An overall wonderful dining experience!Special Features:

- Dining at Iron Gate a TreatMlaryDined on 8/17/2014We have never had a bad meal at the Iron Gate. It is our restaurant of choice when celebrating a special occasion. The ambience is nice, and the food outstanding. Service is good. The two owners go out of their way to greet us and make us feel welcome.Special Features:
- Not happyTerrieDined on 8/15/2014Very disappointing food..soggy lettuce, chewy prawns and tough chicken! Not what we have been getting for 25+ years! What happened to your usually superb food?
- Dream fullfieldQumacyDined on 8/10/2014From the moment we walked in to the restaurant we were greeted with a smile, and the words "How nice to see you this evening", it only excelled from there. Service was outstanding. Instead of having to go to the Bar we were offered our table, and the ability to have drinks prior to ordering. The Menu has so many wonderful choices. There were also daily specials we were advised of...all of which sounded wonderful. We were also told of their marvelous Soufflés which had to be ordered as we ordered dinner in order to be available at the end of the Meal. One of us had Steak Diane which was prepared with all the flare at our table, and was delicious. There were no complaints on any of the dishes put before us. All plates were empty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/6/2014I always enjoy my meal at Iron Gate. Normally the service is spot on, this time it was way off. The poor table next to ours was ignored on several occasions. They were very busy for a Wednesday night and I think under staffed. I would still recommend trying out Iron Gate to people. The clientele is old, but as a younger person I still love this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A tried and true institutionPamalotDined on 7/23/2014I always forget about Iron Gate when thinking about places to go for dinner with my friends. We decided to go there for something different and were not disappointed. The food was very good, although I didn't like rice with my veal parmigiana (potatoes or pasta would have been better), and our server was excellent. He timed our courses perfectly and was very attentive to our table. We definitely will be going back.Special Features:
- Jul 18jd03Dined on 7/18/2014Our Server Frank was Outstanding! Very attentive, pleasure to talk with, overall one of the best servers we have ever had.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My guests were wowed!ethana21VIPDined on 7/14/2014This is a gem of a restaurant. Every time I go there, I wonder why I don't go even more frequently. The best veal dishes around. A widely varied menu, all prepared right. Elegant appointments and waiters. And, for my delight, tableside preparations including flaming ones. Delightful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/11/2014the menu was outstanding and the service was wonderful. the ambiance is very dated but perhaps that is the charm of Iron Gate. It is very unassuming and seems like a place you would go to as an older couple or if you lived close by (a regular type place). It wasn't as pricy as I thought and I love the menu options.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Iron gate still solidrjsullDined on 7/8/2014We visited this steadfast establishment for our 30th anniversary this week. It has been years since we have dined at the Irongate; yet this survivor of the several economic slumps over the last decade comes through as good as ever. With our guest list of seven, from ages 22 to 87, where can you find a nice place for fine dining that will please both the young vegetarian and old-timer "meat and potatoes" diners happy?!?Irongate did it in spades!!! The menu is deverse, so everybody was pleased with their available choices. All of us thought the food was excellent. The service was great - thank you Frank! We even ventured into the suffle(s) for dessert - they were awesome! The lower score on ambience is due to too many tables packed in.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful, as alwaysGinnyEDined on 6/29/2014I had the Prawns Provancale and my husband enjoyed a steak dish. Flawless, attentive service - it doesn't get any better - and we even got our favorite waiter, Guiseppe, as requested. The food was heavenly, the ambiance quiet and conducive to conversation. All in all, a wonderful dining experience! I'd give 10 stars if I could!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great choicedinnerout2nightDined on 6/27/2014Once again we enjoyed a special evening at the Iron Gate. We frequently choose this restaurant for special dinners. The food, service and ambiance are all great.Special Features:
- Iron GateJuleighDined on 6/25/2014Came here for lunch after 1o years of listening to a friend tell me how good it was. Was not disappointed. Old school dining with the best of service :-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently wonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/24/2014The Iron Gate is always a terrific choice. Its pricing is on the high side but very good for the service, quality of food, and atmosphere. This was my 60th birthday dinner, and we enjoyed every minute of it. In particular, our waiter, Franc, was outstanding - he was efficient without being obtrusive, and had a great sense of humor and friendly manner as well. The steak au poivre is a consistent favorite, prepared beautifully at tableside, and for dessert cherries jubilee. This is a classic American/Continental restaurant that is never off the mark.Special Features:
- An eclectic mix of hitsScotchmoVIPDined on 6/20/2014Iron Gate is steeped in old world style and the heavy fine dining from restaurants 30 years ago. There are "specials" that generally are the same each time but presented as though it's original. There are items that are awesome such as their abalone and their lobster tails, their onion soup and their coquiles st. Jacques. The table side service is fun and charming, but their recipes need updated to more modern standards! Who uses A1 at a fine restaurant for flavor!?! The culture is a mix of local folks and. We comers to the area. If you know what to order you'll enjoy the unique old school charm and tastes. But there are some things that will leave you questioning wth!?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MangiareMangiareDined on 6/17/2014The food is still delicious since the first time I ate here in the late 50's on a date, in my young and single days. Our waiters were great. Especially the one with his "right on" menu suggestions. Two of us "girls" had the crab cannelloni which he suggested. It was delicious. The other two in our party, each had different styles of chicken dishes. Both entrees were loaded with mushrooms, which made them both very happy. All of the wait staff were very attentive. Without our having to ask, our water, coffee and tea were constantly refilled. We will definitely return! I was reminded of "The Good Ole Days."Special Features:

For several years now, the WordPress Developer Course has been the most comprehensive, in-depth, intensive and fun training offered here at WebDesign.com. This next WordPress Developer Course will be no exception!
On July 29 – August 3, 2013, members of WebDesign.com can attend six days of live, online intensive developer-focused training revolving around ecommerce and WordPress. This 20+ hour course includes 13 unique breakout sessions and over 200+ pages of documentation, code snippets, and other key resources every WordPress developer should have in their toolbox.
This WordPress Developer Course has a special focus of ecommerce. That means that every breakout session will have an ecommerce component and over the course of the entire week, we will be building a complete ecommerce WordPress-powered site.
What does the week look like?
Monday, July 29
On Monday, July 29th at 1pm CDT, we will kick off the week of training by focusing on several unique ways of installing WordPress that will create a strong and secure foundation for building your site. We will also be looking at the innerworkings of the wp-config.php file and how, with proper knowledge, this file can become the foundation for your entire site's construction.
Tuesday, July 30
On Tuesday, July 30th, we have three sessions at 10am, 1pm, and 4pm CDT. In the first session, we will look at what it takes to develop mailbox money from the perspective of a developer building ecommerce-based sites for clients. Mailbox money is the lifeblood of any freelancer and can provide the residual income streams and extend the value of a client. During Tuesday's second session we will be uncovering the power of Custom Post Types and the plugin Pods. When building a unique ecommerce site, many times you will need to have the ability to extend out the capabilities of WordPress and this can be done through Pods (and Custom Post Types). Finally, we will wrap up Tuesday's sessions by taking a look at the necessary steps every developer needs to take to harden the security of WordPress.
Wednesday, July 31
On Wednesday, July 31st, we will again have three sessions at 10am, 1pm, and 4pm CDT. During these sessions we will be focusing heavily on themes and getting themes ready to sell products. The first session will dive into the flexibility and extendability that can be done to WordPress through the functions.php file of the theme as well as looking at the benefits of building your own Functions plugin. The second session of the day will be an intensive and advanced Builder theme bootcamp. Everything you need to know about how to get the most out of Builder will be covered in this session. In order to get the most out of this session, it will be necessary that you already are familiar with how Builder works or have watched the many pre-requisite videos replays that are available in the WebDesign.com Library. The final session of the day will deal with fine-tuning your WordPress SEO to enable you to help people find your store and products on the internet.
Thursday, August 1
On Thursday, August 1st, we will follow the pattern of the prior three days with sessions again at 10am, 1pm, and 4pm CDT. We will open up the training day by walking through the proper ways of working with jQuery inside WordPress. The next session is the heartbeat of the entire WordPress Developer Course as we dig into the new Exchange plugin by iThemes and see how useful this ecommerce plugin is for developers and how easy it is to extend the capabilities through hooks and filters. The final session of the day is always one of the more popular topics in past WordPress Developer Courses. I will be unveiling the new rankings of top WordPress plugins so you can have a firm grasp of the importance of a plugin to a WordPress developer.
Friday, August 2
On Friday, August 2nd, we will have only two sessions. The first session will start at 10am and will focus on the WordPress Loop and the flexibility of LoopBuddy and how simple it is to build a complex storefront using LoopBuddy's query and layout editors. The second session will begin at 1pm and will walk attendees through the necessary steps that need to be taken to prepare a site for a client. There is nothing worse that a client receiving a finished site and they either don't know what is going on or they break the site within the first 24 hours. This session will give you the tools to give a client the best possible experience in their new site.
Saturday, August 3
Finally, on Saturday, August 3rd starting 9am, we will be hosting a special add-on class that will feature a live Q & A session as well as follow up sections to help round out the entire 6 day event.

" I once went down to Neil (Young)'s ranch and he rowed me out into the middle of the lake — putting my life in his hands once again. He waved at someone invisible and music started to play, in the countryside. I realized Neil had his house wired as the left speaker, and his barn wired as the right speaker. And Elliot Mazer, his engineer, said 'How is it?' And Neil shouted back…'More Barn!' "

Farm Bureau Stands Up for Farmer Privacy
The American Farm Bureau Federation is taking legal action to stop the Environmental Protection Agency from publicly releasing personal information about thousands of farmers and ranchers and their families. The EPA is expected to respond soon to several Freedom of Information Act requests - prompting the organization to file a lawsuit and seek a temporary restraining order. The National Pork Producers Council is joining Farm Bureau in the lawsuit. Farm Bureau says protecting farmers' and ranchers' right to privacy is a top priority. The hope is to stall the disclosure of names, home addresses, GPS coordinates and personal contact information until a court can clarify EPA's obligation to keep personal information about citizens private. Farm Bureau President Bob Stallman says the lawsuit is about the government's unjustified intrusion into the private lives of citizens.
The EPA released personal information about thousands of livestock and poultry farmers and ranchers in 29 states in response to Freedom of Information Act requests from environmental organizations earlier this year. That data often included home phone numbers, home emails, employee contact information, home addresses and even some personal notes about the families. EPA has taken the position with Farm Bureau and others that it doesn't have any legal obligation under the Freedom of Information Act to keep most of the information private. EPA intends to release additional personal information from farmers in Minnesota, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oklahoma and Washington in response to new requests.
Farm Bureau argues that EPA is inviting intrusion into the privacy of farmers and their families on a nationwide scale by turning their names and addresses over for public consumption. Stallman says the group supports transparency and frequently advocates for increased government transparency - but says this is an invasion of the personal privacy of citizens. In effect - Stallman says EPA is holding up a loudspeaker and broadcasting where private citizens live and where their children play. He says Farm Bureau isn't just standing up for farmers in this case - but for all citizens who shouldn't have their personal information publicly disseminated by their government.
