Fake Dayton Moore
you konwi'm kind of thinking to myself this lineup isn't baddejesus, pod, butler, jacobs, gordon ankielguillen, buck, shortstopthrow callaspo in there!not guillen, sorryjacobs would be dh obviouslythat's NOT a bad lineup
I know, I know...
I'm living in the past, and not even some distant past where the Royals were good or challenging for the playoffs. No, I was living in a past where I was expected to expect the Royals to be good, or, more accurately, expecting others to expect the Royals to not be bad. And I just don't have time for that anymore.
But, nonetheless, go Royals, and since blogs never die, so this one won't, but, but, but...

An amazing statistic via Joe Posnanski
Our coverage of these Royals is kind of like that: slowly disappearing, soon incomplete sentences and broken links.
But this is too good to not share: Joe Poz, near the end of a really hilarious column for SI:
I'm going to give you an amazing statistic about Kansas City Royals pitcher Zack Greinke. He is, unquestionably, the best pitcher in the American League. He leads the league in ERA, complete games, WHIP and home runs per nine innings. He is second in strikeouts, and fifth in walks per game.
No, I haven't given you the amazing statistic yet.
He leads the league in shutouts. He has made 20 starts where he allowed two runs or less, most in the American League. He has made 24 starts where he allowed three runs or less, most in the American League. He has only had two starts all year where he has given up five runs in a game.
No, haven't given you the stat. Not yet.
Greinke's first 10 starts, he had an 0.84 ERA. His last five starts, he has a 1.38 ERA. Greinke himself has a higher slugging percentage (.333) than the right-handed batters who have faced him this year (.318).
And no, that's not the stat either. Here's the stat that will blow your mind.
The Kansas City Royals have a losing record in games that Zack Greinke has started this season.

Catching up, kind of
I had no idea, however, the extent of the animosity towards the Royals' front office until I spent a couple hours today trolling the blogosphere (with a VPN, of course, as Blogger's blocked in China). Just click on any random link in my blogroll and you'll see (Royals Review has been leading the charge, e.g., here, here and here). The line of disgust and antipathy and -- could it really be? -- hatred has been sunk so deep that even some blog readers have begun to cringe and ask something to the effect of, "Eek... really?"
A sampling of the comments to Rany's 4,254-word renunciation of his fanhood:
Travis: Bull shit. I don't buy you're quiting on the Royals. As much as I like your blog, I'm not begging you to keep writing it. We don't need diehards giving up whenever they get pissed. It's one thing to bitch about the Royals moves, it's another to quit on your team for good. Calm down, have a shot of whiskey, and lets hope for some more moves at the deadline.
jason y: its a sad day to be a royals fan....but how is that different from any other day? when you're at the bottom the only place to go is up. dont lose faith.
(This one is kind of awesome) Keith: Rany, I kept checking your blog Friday night. I thought perhaps you pulled the plug on the whole thing. As an almost casual fan I was bothered by the trade immediately. If I've heard of Cortes then he must be valuable. This is clearly a lost season and I thought it was time to unload contracts and pick up players for the future. I've quit the Chiefs but the Royals are still meaningful. I think it helps not to care too much. Family and friends are whats really important.
Scott: And I also agree with Travis. You can't just give up. It doesn't work that way. I'm 27 years old (Betancourt's age! And I'm not nearly near my peak, thank you very much) and have never known the Royals to be good. Ever. But, here I sit, just waiting for what will definitely be one of the greatest moments of my life when the Royals finally "find a nut."
stpat: ...All I can say is stick with them, if for no other reason than to give us (the Fans) a legit voice.
Ryan: I don't really see the big deal. It's not like they traded Hosmer or Aaron Crow or someone like that. Also, unlike the Jacobs deal, it's not like they are blocking someone better on the farm with this deal either. I really don't see it having that much of a negative impact. Maybe it costs Glass some money if he continues to tank but I don't really care about that. Someone other that TPJ has got to play short and I don't see any other options out there.
And another thing, I'm sick of hearing people talk about I'm not going to anymore games, I'm done with this team, I'm not wearing anymore Royals gear.......good. I'm with Travis and Scott. We don't need you around making ridiculous claims about your loyalty. If you leave, stay gone. I don't want to see you back when the tide turns. And it will turn.....
Matt Berger: Rany im 20 years old, ive never really seen a winning Royals season 2003 doesn't really count. I want to give up, I want to stop caring but I can't and I haven't so you can't either. Might I suggest you keep being critical and hope you're comments reach ears who belong to someone in position to make decisions. You have a bully pulpit keep using it. I look forward to meeting you Saturday.
So on and so forth.
I admit I did not read all 134 comments (I will never understand what would ever motivate someone, like ejfunk, to write a near-500-word response to a blog post; I mean that in the best way possible). I will also admit that despite the many affirmations of loyalty to the Kansas City Royals, I was still dismayed, or unconvinced of one thing or another. What that thing is exactly I can't or don't want to articulate. I feel as if the world's blown up and I was on the moon.
Here's the thing: when you live somewhere that's removed from baseball, you lose touch with the rhythm of the season. You forget if those 1-0 losses were pitched by Brian Bannister or Zack Greinke, or if Luke Hochevar's still in the rotation, or why the name "Bruce Chen" is in the box score. I check the scores every morning and feel a distinct pang of disappointment when I see the Royals have lost, an unmistakable pick-me-up, like the first sip of fresh-brewed coffee (in terrifically short supply here), when they've won, but still -- you lose perspective. You find yourself clicking on "standings" every other week, something you shouldn't need to if you're watching Baseball Tonight every other day.
And it is here that I admit that until today, when I had the good fortune to read the blogosphere's reactions, the Betancourt trade didn't bother me all that much. I didn't think much of it. I read Bob Dutton's article and felt it disingenuous to some degree, but I really didn't think it worth my time to fuss over yet another trade of a couple minor leaguers for a middling position player.
Now I wonder...
Those who run counter to the zeitgeist risk inducing something much worse than irrelevance, a pit where this blog has been fast descending (damn you, Great Firewall of China) -- disdain. I don't want that. Those who sigh and curse, pound their fists and wring their hands while following this maddening yet beautiful, wonderfully intricate and fascinating game deserve better than yet another loathsome Royals commentator.
In other words, I'm not entirely sure whether In Dayton We Trust has a place in this current landscape. We're taking a vacation until the steam evaporates off Royals Land.
I won't go so far as to quote Keith -- "Family and friends are what's really important" -- but right now I am going to slip on my flip-flops, walk to the convenience store and buy an ice cream cone.

Zack Greinke wins the All-Star game
|Z Greinke
And look: wit!
JAYSON STARK: Yeah, not to suggest it's been a while since the American League lost an All-Star Game or anything, but after the AL had ripped yet another All-Star triumph off its relentless July assembly line Tuesday night, we couldn't find a single member of this year's AL All-Stars who could correctly answer the following straightforward trivia question:
Do you even remember the last time the National League won an All-Star Game?
On and on it went, nobody quite recalling, until Royals pitcher Zack Greinke decided to get sneaky -- and turn the tables on us by asking US a question.
"The last time they won one," he wondered, "who played in it?"
Hmmm. We hadn't actually done the research on THAT question yet. So we guessed -- incorrectly, by the way -- that it was at least possible that Derek Jeter had.
"Yeah," Greinke laughed. "And probably Stan Musial, too."
And lest you forget, Greinke is more or less Mr. Daytona Beach USA.
POSTSCRIPT: Apologies to these Royals blogs, which should've been on my blogroll long before now: Everything Royals, Tangled Up in (Royal) Blue and Royals Primacy. And if you're wondering, yes, I recently learned about at least two of the above due to the Yuniesky Betancourt trade. See, there is something positive to come out of it, and we haven't even given it time to play out yet.
"If I had a good curveball I wouldn't be president"
"My idea, when I saw him, was to say, 'What's up?' to him,'' Ichiro said through the Mariners team interpreter. "But I got nervous. You know, he has that kind of aura about him. So I got nervous and I didn't say that to him. I was a little disappointed about that. But I realized after seeing him today that presidents wear jeans, too. So my hope is that our skipper, Don Wakamatsu, was watching that and we can wear jeans on our flights as well.''
And the NL fails yet again.

And that's only one of the reasons I'm enjoying this telecast. Another: Meche is much better than Matt Palmer.

In 1824, the observatory acquired a Fraunhofer refractor, which at the time was the best and the largest dioptric telescope in the world. In order to harness the potential of the new telescope, the building was reconstructed according to the design of George Frederic Parrot as a rotating dome observatory. The new design of the observatorys dome turned out to be so successful that it was emulated in a number of new observatories (such as those of Helsinki and Pulkovo, for instance) built during the next half century.
Research conducted at the Old Observatory has led to many discoveries that have changed our understanding of the Earth and the universe. The scientists working here have focused on geodesy, astronomy, seismology, time measurement, theoretical and experimental physics. The observatorys place in the worlds history of science was cemented by its long-time head Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve, who in 1835 was the first to measure the distance of a star from the Earth and who determined the position of thousands of double stars.
As the first point in the Struve Geodetic Arc, the Old Observatory was included in the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2005. In 1816-1852, F. G. W. Struve and Carl Friedrich Tenner, a Russian general born in Estonia, led a series of surveys to plot a geodetic arc stretching from North Norway to the coast of the Black Sea. The arc, which became known as Struve Geodetic Arc, played a pivotal role in the development of astronomy, geodesy and cartography.
After the construction of a new observatory in Tõravere (15 miles south of Tartu) was completed in 1964, astronomers moved out from the venerable structure on Toome Hill. The observatory later accommodated a branch of Tartu City Museum. When the branch was closed, the building was taken over by the Science Centre AHHAA. Since 1963, the observatory has also been home to an astronomy club.
Restoration of the Old Observatory started in 2009 with support from the Regional Competitiveness Improvement Programme of the Enterprise Estonia Foundation. The observatory was opened as a museum in the spring of 2011.

Saturday Sidecar: Accepting Credit Cards – The Good, the Bad and the Bottom Line
One of the best things about your sidecar taking off is that you have paying customers – the more the better for you, right? And the easier you make it for them to pay you, the better for everyone concerned. Have you considered taking payments by credit card? They may be a sensible option for you – and an effective enticement for your customers but it's important to be aware of both sides of the credit card coin.
Let's consider the pros and cons of accepting credit cards, for you and for your customers.
Saturday Sidecar: Find Your Inner Marketing Talent
Saturday sidecar drivers wear all the hats in their business – including the marketing one. That can be challenging if you're not naturally a people-person to whom making personal connections with potential customers comes naturally. You may feel that your marketing efforts feel awkward and forced, rather than genuine.
And by you, I actually mean me. Allow me to share a story from the beginning of my content creation business. I'm a writer at my very core and can be fearless when communicating with the written (or typed) word; put me in a room full of strangers at a networking event, however, and I fall silent and sink into the wallpaper. This propensity is not conducive to marketing a fledgling business.
Saturday Sidecar: When Driving is Drudgery, Be Patient and Stick With It
Chances are, you started your sidecar out of passion. Your sidecar is a way of exercising those muscles for yourself, in your own way and in your own time. While you continue to work your day job, you plug away as you can at your sidecar more because of that passion than the rewards it provides.
Even though you're probably not driving your sidecar for the money or success, there's nothing sadder than when that sidecar that means so much to you languishes or becomes more of a burden than a pleasure. You've put your heart and soul into it and It feels as if your passion is receiving a cosmic yawn – or trouncing. It can be very disheartening.
Is that your cue to hang it up and forget your sidecar aspirations? Not hardly! This is the time to dig in your heels and bump it up to the next level. This calls for patience and "stick-to-it-ive-ness." Let's explore how to find and utilize those elusive traits to help you stay the course until your sidecar brings you the satisfaction is was meant to.
Nine Google Tools for Small Business Success

Saturday Sidecar: Avoid Being a Creepy Marketer
Marketing your sidecar in the most effective way can be a challenge. Sometimes that challenge comes from not having the tools you need to do a good job. Sometimes, however, it comes from having too many tools at your disposal and using them in the wrong way. As you'll see, this problem is not unique to small businesses…

Email Content Relevancy Key Focus
With any type of promotions and content marketing you should always make relevancy the number one component in all of your communications with your client base. When it comes to email marketing the content you provide should not only be relevant to the needs of your customer base it should also be relevant by each email campaign. In other words, the articles in one email campaign such as a newsletter should have some sort of relevance to one another that resembles a topic theme.
To get your email communications opened and read the more relevant the content the better the results from each campaign. Relevancy not only applies to content it also applies to where your recipient stands in the customer lifecycle. This is what keeps them engaged because the content is highly relevant to their interests. Here are a few ways you can ensure content relevancy:
Saturday Sidecar: Your Business As a Garden
In the nursery rhyme, "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," it was, "Silver Bells and Cockle Shells and Little Maids All in a Row," that made her garden grow. Your sidecar is like a garden; you plan it, tend it, and give it everything it needs to take bloom. Let's explore your sidecar as a garden to discover what makes your sidecar grow?
These elements of a healthy, vibrant garden are like what it takes to grow a healthy, vibrant business:
Email Inbox Deliverability Tools
Email marketing is a great way to develop lasting relationships with your customers while providing a sustainable income for your online business. There is a lot of work that goes into a successful email campaign before the email messages are sent. It only stands to reason that you would like to know whether or not the messages reached the Inbox of your recipients in addition to other elements that tell you what happened to the email after you released it.
If you are using an email distribution service to communicate with your subscribers there are many tools which are available which help you measure Inbox deliverability. Here are a few tools which are available by MailChimp and other email outreach providers that will help you to become familiar with what's out there for discovering the fate of your email messages.

Email Templates vs. Creative Designs – Pros and Cons
When it comes to email marketing a common question that a lot of marketers ask, "Is it better to use templates for your email campaign or your own creative design?" Well, like anything else there are pros and cons to both sides when you plan an email marketing campaign. Let's take a look at both options to help you make an informed decision as to which one is best for you.

Although the St. Olaf women were not ranked nationally in pre-season polls, they beat two nationally ranked teams - LaCrosse (#13 nationally, finished 3rd) and UW Platteville (#21 nationally, finished 4th) - and trailed UW Eau Claire (#11 nationally, finished 1st) by just 17 seconds overall.
Junior Jenna Carlson's personal time of 22:59 (5th overall) beat out all the top runners on both the LaCrosse and Eau Claire teams, certainly a large factor of their second-place finish at 23:44.
Coach Chris Daymont expects that the team's stellar performance on Saturday will push them into the national rankings by next week - "maybe as high as top 25," she said. She attributes the team's early-season successes to "lots of summer miles run" and "a great mix of upper-class students and first-years."
Led by captains Casey Baustian '08, Jenna Carlson '09 and Lisa Skildum '08, the entire team "helps each other stay focused and positive," Daymont said.
This year's St. Olaf Invitational was particularly well-attended because St. Olaf will be hosting the NCAA National Championships on Nov. 17th. Naturally, many teams came to "preview" the racing course in preparation for the championship race. Twenty-five teams from three states ran in the women's division, and 27 in the men's competition. However, some familiar MIAC opponents - including Carleton, St. Thomas, and Concordia - were not present this year.
The men's team, also unranked in pre-season polls, made a big step toward one of their season-long goals this year: closing the gap on their times on St. Olaf's "relatively difficult" 8000-meter racing course, according to coach Bill Thornton. The men finished 11th out of 27, with an average race time of 27:20.
Led by senior captain David Swanson's personal time of 26:41, the men had ten runners finish within 2:45 of each other - a great achievement for a team of 28. Thornton sees the team as a group of athletes who are really "willing to work to become a better team."
The women run this Friday at the UW-Eau Claire Blugold Invite. The men's team is off until they host the Pre-Regionals meet on Oct. 6.

NYU Wagner Fellow Explores Innovative Methods to Fund Social Programs
NYU Wagner Fellow Megan Golden's recent report for the Children's Aid Society, "Developing a Social Impact Bond: Lessons from a Provider," explores how social impact bonds can tackle social problems while also saving the government money. Social impact bonds allow the government to contract for positive, cost-saving outcomes; deliver a modest return for investors; and can lead to positive social outcomes. With a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation, Children's Aid Society began exploring how this innovative financing mechanism could be used to scale up some of its interventions for low-income children in New York City. Megan Golden's report outlines the steps Children's Aid Society took and the lessons the nonprofit learned in developing several concepts for social impact bonds.
Though social impact bonds are a new innovation and require further research, they offer great promise. Frist, they enable government and service providers to track program outcomes in real time. They also provide the opportunity to envision, and plan for, a world where preventive programs are implemented at scale and expensive remedial programs play a smaller role.
Continuing her work, Megan is now working with the Institute for Child Success in South Carolina to study the feasibility of using social impact bond financing to expand early childhood interventions in that state.

Remember those photos of Kristen Stewart getting into a car with some guy who looks like Rupert Sanders? And it was a black Acura just like the one Rupert owns? And then Tuesday Robert Pattinson returned to LA from New York wearing his tell-tale Mad Face? And we're all, ruh roh! Because now it's time to speculate that Rob caught Kristen cheating again and flew back early to confront her, obviously. Remember that? Well, now forget it.
False alarm, everybody. False alarm. That was so NOT! Rupert Sanders behind the wheel of the car, you guys. That was just the valet, who happens to look like Rupert, and the car belongs to a friend of Kristen's -- or so say Kristen's friends. What is it with you gossipmongers, always assuming the worst of our poor beleaguered KStew?
Let's walk through this one. Kristen was out for dinner with her girlfriends at Malo, the same place where she'd just celebrated her birthday with Rob. And she's totally in public. And she knows she gets followed freakin' EVERYWHERE by the paps. Plus, there are photos of her standing in the valet line. Is she really going to rendezvous with Rupert in plain sight like that? Come on.
I'm not saying she wouldn't cheat on Robert again, ever. I'm just saying, if she did, it wouldn't be like this. And it wouldn't be with Rupert again, either. I mean, I'm just chalking that down to temporary insanity, because the guy is twice her age, and let's face it, he's not hot enough for seconds.
Still, it doesn't look good. Why is the valet in the driver's seat for so long? Usually those guys park, get out, and throw you the keys, and THEN people pile in. He probably wasn't Rupert Sanders, but he probably wasn't the valet, either. Whatever the truth is, it's probably complicated. (Rupert Sanders is now working as a valet and this was just a horrible coincidence??? Nah ...) Maybe he was just a driver bringing Kristen home after she drank a few too many cucumber margaritas.
Do you believe the driver of that Acura was Rupert Sanders, a valet, or someone else altogether?
"What is it with you gossipmongers, always assuming the worst of our poor beleaguered KStew?" Gee, I don't know Adriana. You and all your fellow writers at The Stir seem to love to write anything and everything negative you can about Kristen Stewart whether it's true or not. What's up with that?
omg thank you Laura!!!
WOW shut the hell up! Leave them alone. I cannot even believe I wasted 3minutes reading this article. Honestly I feel alittle guilty having read it considering you DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! You report one thing and then write an article contradicting yourself. I shall be UN liking your BS site asap
It would take an idiot not to see that it was not Rupert in the car. Same car and driver that Rob was photographed in at the concert they attended. If they are happy leave them alone. Find someone worth picking on like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. They are so fake it makes me sick. Take the pressure off Kristen for awhile. You have beat her up enough.
How about a real bad issue Reese and her husband driving around drunk. He could have killed someone. And people want to put Kristen down. At least she was not caught playing GOD like Resse and her husband.This is discusting they can afford to have people drive there drunk asses around.

Adobe Photoshop 6.0 Improvements in capabilities and ease of use make the most popular pro image-editing program even better
Adobe Photoshop was introduced 11 years ago this month, and it's been the photo-editing tool of choice for most serious photographers and desktop-publishing professionals ever since. Does that make it the right one for you? Well, if you're serious about digital imaging—whether you shoot your originals on film or with a digital camera—and you have enough computer "horsepower," the answer is "Yes!"
Photoshop provides all the tools you need to do virtually anything to a photograph, from optimizing it as you would when printing it in the darkroom, to producing an almost unlimited range of special effects, to combining it with other photos, drawings and type, to preparing color separations for professional publication.
Because Photoshop is a very versatile, very capable professional product used by graphic designers and desktop publishers as well as by serious photographers, along with all the features for photographers, it includes lots of features photographers don't need to deal with. For space considerations, we'll stick mostly to the photographer-oriented features in this report.
Vector Capabilities
Special Effects
Another special effect feature for which Photoshop has long been loved is its compositing capabilities—combining multiple elements to create a final image (be it a simple "double-exposure" montage, or a complex compilation blending multiple photos, drawings and text). These capabilities are all there in Photoshop 6.0, and easier to use due to improvements in the tool interfaces, as will be discussed shortly.

You guys really should put in a link to the people who broke the original story months ago, instead of just pimping out your own rumour article from months.
That's shoddy, Disgraceful and frankly unprofessional journalism... but hey, it wouldn't exactly be the first time WoW.com has taken undue credit for something - Cataclysm races, anyone?
Have some decency and put the damn link to Rawrcast in.

A word from Gallagher's Steak House
Celebrating its 85th Anniversary, Gallagher's has remained a New York City dining landmark; the decor and ambiance have been passionately preserved to create the Classic Steakhouse experience.Continued
People come to Gallagher's for the steak. Gallagher's is the only steakhouse in New York City that grills their steaks over hickory coals. Our USDA Prime Beef is dry aged in-house for 21 days at a constant temperature of 36 degrees. Dry aging beef produces a more tender, buttery and complex flavor profile in the beef.
The combination of all-natural dry aging and hickory coals makes a steak you cannot find any place else in the New York area. This celebrated restaurant remains exactly the same as it always has been and so does the extraordinary mix of our clientele -showbiz and entertainment people from all over the world, sports figures in the boxing, horse racing, football, baseball, basketball and hockey world, and business professionals.

Gallagher's Steak House reviews from OpenTable diners
- Great meat, the best I everOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 3/17/2013Great meat, the best I ever tried. Good service, special location, quite expensive.Special Features:
- This time Gallagher's wasOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/16/2013This time Gallagher's was a bit too noisy. The place was packed-full of customers. Service was slightly dissapointing. Been at Gallagher's before and the experience was better. Asked waiter for a very well-done steak, suggesting to split-open the steak to make sure it came back the way requested. The waiter did not allow finish suggestion, claiming he'll make sure the steak would come back the way ordered. Steak came back not really well-done (as requested). Sent it back. Steak came out excessively dry. Upon telling the waiter, he said that's the way it should come-out when steak cooked extra well done. Prior time at Gallagher's asked for same request, and steak was cooked to perfection.
- Great DiningNancyCDined on 3/16/2013We have dines at Gallagher's on one other occasion and it never disappoints. Excellent food and excellent service.Special Features:
- We live in Southport, NC.OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/8/2013We live in Southport, NC. My husband gave me a trip to NYC for my birhday. It had been several years since we had been to Gallagher's and nothing had changed. Great food (best steak I've ever had), service was excellent. The only thing that could have been better was the cost. If they were not so expensive, we culd come more often.Special Features:
- Fantastic Steak House..DebbyworldtravelerDined on 3/2/2013Our visits to New York are never complete without a trip to Gallaghers Steak house. We were introduced to this fine restaurant many years ago. The food here is excellent (steaks are the greatest). I love that the photos on the walls really give you a feel for how many years Gallaghers has been around. This place is good for groups as well as couples. We will always return.Special Features:
- Went there for Valentine'sOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/14/2013Went there for Valentine's Day and enjoyed myself. From entering establishment to existing was within an hour. I was across the street retrieving my car from the garage attendant at the up to one hour rate. That was fantastic for us!Special Features:
- it's where you want to simplyOpenTable Diner Since 2013VIPDined on 2/11/2013it's where you want to simply enjoy your steak ...
- My first experience at Gallagher'sJaceVIPDined on 2/6/2013My first experience at Gallagher's was a good one, but not great. The staff seemed to be very attentive at times, but other times missing in action. The original steak I received, the aged sirloin, was quite tough, despite being prepared medium rare. However, when I reluctantly sent it back and ordered the ribeye instead, this was the opportunity for the kitchen, wait staff, and management to shine. And shine they did! My new steak was prepared in a timely manner and just the way I like it. It was tender and juicy. A new side of sautéed spinach was also prepared to accompany the steak. And the manager visit our table to apologize and ensure all was well. I would certainly give Gallagher's another try!Special Features:
- Reasonable Steakhouse ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/6/2013The ambiance and location are great and it would be on this basis that I would recommend this restaurant. The service was also very good as one would expect in a restaurant of this class. There are however other steak houses that offer better steaks. Overall, the value and the experience was adequate.Special Features:
- The new pastrami sandwichOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 2/6/2013The new pastrami sandwich was a joke... Stay with what youa re good...Steaks, fish... Palm is falling down.
- Go somewhere else!OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 1/31/2013They are supposed to be known for there awesome aged steaks, but my wife got a filet ordered medium well that was cooked rare and had to be sent back. I orders the bone in ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was charred on the edges and cooked through too much. For a supposedly "high end" steak house to have these kinds of issues with tempreature and steak preperation I was suprised. They were way too overpriced for the poor quality food. I would not go back, and would recommend others to go to any of the steakhouses in the area.
- I've eaten here before. IOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/30/2013I've eaten here before. I had the signature strip. I found the steak tough and over cooked. Not what I'd expect for the place nor price
- Prime price, sub prime qualityJimbobeattyVIPDined on 1/25/2013I was a bit disappointed with our meal. I ordered the bone-in Ribeye that besides being a bit small was a bit tough. A place with the reputation and prices like this, you'd. expect a premium cut of beef. The side dishes were also very expensive for the size and quality. Other people in our party expressed the same disappointment.
- Still got it!MikeVIPDined on 1/19/2013A great post-theatre spot for a late dinner. My steak was superb and don't forget the apple pie dessert!Special Features:
- After ready all the fanfareZmanDined on 1/19/2013After ready all the fanfare of how great the steaks are, my steak (the 14oz sirloin) was just average. It was a thin steak and I ordered it medium rare and it arrived cooked medium to well. I hate sending stuff back as it just ruins the dining experience even more. I felt the place has a lot of history, but the food was average, and overrated.
- Had a group of 7. It turnedOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 1/12/2013Had a group of 7. It turned out to be a very special evening.Special Features:
- Lived in NYC for 23 yearsRandolphVernonVIPDined on 1/9/2013Lived in NYC for 23 years and have eaten at all the steakhouses except Gallaghers. Wanted to try it. Will not be back. Ambience is good - old New York, the waiter was very good, old school, friendly but professional. The food was dreadful. My $42 steak was less than 1/2 inch thick. Although it was flavorful, it was quite fatty with a lot of waste. And I suspect a tenderizer (MSG) was used. I've had better steaks at a corner Greek diner on the Upper East Side, and for half the price. The hash browns were dry and tasteless and the creamed spinach was average at best. You just cannot serve mediocre food like this for such high prices. THere are too many choices in steakhouses.Special Features:
- Definately not worth the money.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/31/2012Definately not worth the money. Much better places on NYC
- The food is always good here.SusieVIPDined on 12/31/2012The food is always good here. The wait staff was nasty on New Year's Eve for lunch. The waiter made a face when my friend asked to take some of her lunch home. He took back our bread quickly before we were done with it. We felt rushed. We wanted to take the bread with us. Can be a bit pricey for just luch at $75.00. I would not go here for a very expensive dinner. There are other places where the waiters are nicer for that high price.Special Features:
- IIt was busy but not overcrowdedOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 12/29/2012IIt was busy but not overcrowded for our visit. There was one very large party and this seemed to slow the wait staff and kitchen down considerably. Three or four different people were waiting on our tanle and this created inconsistency. We waited for our food, along with others, much too long until we were compelled to ask. Two sandwiches and three salads took an hour to get to us. Once a manager noticed, we had our food quickly. The manager offered "dessert on me" but no one from the wait staff was made aware and they didn't offer at conclusion of the meal. So overall just barely a C grade on service. The saving grace was the food which was all cooked appropriately, of decent portions and tasted great.Special Features:
- We visited Gallaghers on ourOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/28/2012We visited Gallaghers on our last visit to New York 5 Years ago, it impressed so much that when we knew that we were visiting for New Year we booked a table from U.K to make sure we could get a reservation, which we did. Very high standard Steak House, would highly recommend a visit.Special Features:
- We have eaten here each timeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 12/28/2012We have eaten here each time we make a trip to NYC. Food and service is always consistent.Special Features:
- Classic NY steakhouse. LoveDrLungVIPDined on 12/28/2012Classic NY steakhouse. Love picture of Red Smith in frontSpecial Features:
- Old Standard "historic" steakOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 12/26/2012Old Standard "historic" steak house in the theatre district. The wife hade the pork chops - excellent / large portion. I had the house specialty - sirloin steak - best stek ever cooked perfectly over a hickory fire. The resturant is "old" with the pictures, tables, cjairs that haven't ben updated in years. Not a romantic spot - meat eaters heaven.
- Excellent service! Our steaksOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 12/26/2012Excellent service! Our steaks were slightly undercooked so instead of giving us dessert menus after, they came out with slices of cheesecake on the house!
- Steak was burnt and over cooked.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/25/2012Steak was burnt and over cooked. Service was lackadaisical and uninterested. We called first for a 5:00 reservation and was told there was nothing at all available until 8:30 PM yet I went on Open Table and reserved a 4:45 with no problem at all. Then all through our dinner there were empty tables everywhere. For a $320 dinner for two people they need MUCH more attention to service and detail and making us feel like they CARE that we are there.
- we were there for ChristmasOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/25/2012we were there for Christmas day and really enjoyed it. the waiter was lovely as he stopped us ordering too many side dishes due to the size of the portions. Steak gorgeous but a few more Christmas decorations would have been nice . Alison ,Michael and Charlotte England .Special Features:
- The prime rib was not as goodFoodessVIPDined on 12/23/2012The prime rib was not as good as at a previous dinner. They no longer serve popovers, which our group liked. Would not go again. Would try another steak house.Special Features:
- With so many steak housesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/23/2012With so many steak houses in NYC, they should step up their game. Maybe that is why they are closing. Very disapointing.
- restaurant from the pastOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 12/21/2012Does the owner know we live in 21 century? He still lives in 1920-30s... Decoration reminds me old western movies during dry laws. The waiters came from the same time. Why do you guys have no gravy at all? I love tomato or barbeque sauces for my steak!!! Side dish is as big as main course. And why does the ribay steak arrive in 15 minutes? I wanted it medium rare... Nobody cared... It comes MEDIUM because I am in american MacDonald's finally! No other options! One more pityfull night in gastronomy of NYC.
- Excellent choice of beef dishes.OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 12/15/2012Excellent choice of beef dishes. Nice wine list. Price what one should expect for a NYC steak house.Special Features:
- horrible experience for a birthdayOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 12/15/2012I admit, i am a steak snob. Listing my top to ... Wolfgang: Best grade porter house and service. Peter LugerReview Gallagher. Price close to Wolfgang, I have expected a lot but its delivery was much a disappointment on its quality. Porterhouse to share was not an option. Steak are per each individual serving. Thickness was thin cut and its quality of the steak could be rated at longhorn or any other low quality chain.Taste: If they are aged, then it is truly a disappointment. It has no kick to the beef taste and lack of a sensible..I will not go again and will be an advocate to advice others not to go because of the lack/serviceI asked for steak sauce (due to its dry cook, i eat rare) and both times they gave me soy-sauce. bad...
- DissapointedTheTwoofUsVIPDined on 12/11/2012I was VERY dissapointed. My wife and I had passed by Gallaghers several years ago and kept it in mind for the future. It was not very busy the evening we dined. She ordered a filet and I ordered their signature strip steak. My thought was they are a premeir steak house they should be able to do it right. Both of our steaks were undercooked. She was able to eat hers but mine had to go back. I had cut it in half and carved a strip out of the middle before it was taken back. The resturant solution was to put it back on the grill. It should have been replaced, but came back charred. I have had better steaks at Outback. This dinner was a bitter dissapointment other than the pleasant company of my wife.
- good stuff!!!BklynVIPDined on 12/11/2012I thought the onion soup and the sliced steak was terrific (but I wish the steak came on bread or toast like it used to.
- Sub-par Food. Not worth the price.aefsysVIPDined on 12/11/2012Unfortunately, our special night on the town before seeing "Once" was very disappointing. The food was very sub-par and very expensive. I would not recommend this to anyone who wants a really excellent meal when paying over $100 per person.
- I've been to Gallagher's manyOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 12/8/2012I've been to Gallagher's many times over the years, but this was the first time I was able to take my wife and good friends. The steaks are great, prepared to your spec and the sides were yummy as well. My problem was the overal smug and arrogance of the servers, especially ours. His name was Rambo, but his overall attention to my party was somewhere else. He was never close by when we needed something with his overall arrogance, he tried to be itimadating. Such an embarrassment for the restaurant. There are so many terrific steak houses to pick from in the city, I would definitiey go elsewhere next time.Special Features:
- Those bad reviews are all wrongjsproehnleDined on 12/6/2012I have seen some reviews that were very critical of the service and the food for this restaurant and they could not be farther away from the truth. I read theses reviews and was skeptical of going there. However once I arrived I was absolutely pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was busy however all staff that we encountered were helpful and pleasant. We got quick service at the bar and there were no grumpy bar tenders. The food was fabulous and the atmosphere was perfect for its history. I will go there again on my next trip to NY.Special Features:
- Waiters were not friendlyRayRayVIPDined on 12/4/2012Waiters were not friendly and difficult. Steaks were outstanding; however, lobster bisque was awful.Special Features:
- A Birthday Dinner to RemembersouthporterVIPDined on 12/1/2012When we came here for my birthday, Gallagher's was not packed, just moderately filled, which also meant it was not too noisy. Observing the maitre d', waiter, and bartender made me feel quite young, and it refreshing to see that this business has no mandatory retirement age. The dry-aged steaks were tasty and the sides were fine. The checkered tablecloths and paneled walls harkened back to an earlier age, making me think I was back in my year of birth.Special Features:
- GoodbyeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/26/2012It is a shame to know this iconic restaurant is closing. It holds many memories for me and countless others.

An East Texas man is in the intensive care unit after being hit by a train last night, but it's what authorities found when trying to tend to his injuries that has criminal charges pending against him.
Troup Police say just before 7 p.m., a man was hit at the train tracks near County Line Road. He was seriously injured and fled to a nearby home. When police responded, the man was gone, but blood on the ground told them he was somewhere nearby. Police say with the help of some eye witnesses and just following the blood trail the man left behind, they were able to trace him from the railroad tracks to a house about 200 yards away.
"Cops just came over here and asked if I knew somebody who lived there," says Vicki Brown who lives next door.
Vicki says there was police activity at her neighbor's house for hours. She says she didn't know what was going on but saw an ambulance parked nearby.
"Police cars, officers looking around, going in the house and the trailer... " describes Vicki.
According to police, they entered the home on a medical emergency looking to help the injured man. They say they didn't find him in the house, but they did find 4 marijuana plants growing under a lamp and 18 more plants hanging up in a bedroom.
Still searching for the man, authorities knocked on the door of a travel trailer in the yard. Police say they found the man inside, with serious injuries. Inside the trailer, police say they also found 8 more marijuana plants. According to police, the man has broken ribs and a very deep cut on his arm. Troup Police Chief Pat Hendrix says charges will be filed against the man when he is released from the hospital.

This Twlight Saga Fan Fiction will be written between two TTS memebers, Jada Blackwater and Envy Breeds Hate, who will alternate between chapters. Chapter one, is being written by Jada Blackwater.
This story will be in two different Point's of View.
One writter, will write in the point of view of a werewolf...
One writter, will write in the point of view of a vampire...
We hope that anyone who reads, will enjoy the story we are working so hard on. We thought of this and ideas just went flying left and right, back and forth, and just about everywhere. We have come up with a solid idea for it and wish to share it with our fellow TTS members.
Any readers, please, leave comments so that we know you enjoy it. Thank you :)
Hot Winter, Cold Summer
A Twilight Saga Fan Fiction Partnership Piece
Prologue (Written by Envy Breeds Hate):
A dark, cold feeling took over me as lay here. Unable to move, I screamed in pain into nothing but pure black darkness. Out from the corner of my eye, I saw something. Bright crimson red flashed past me.
I screamed.
What's happening to me?
As another scream began to come through me, a dark figure stood above me and covered my mouth. The figure had deep crimson red eyes that burned through me. I couldn't move, speak, or even think.
The figure moved closer to me and I could feel its sharp teeth move over the skin on my neck. Before I could think about what was going to happen, the teeth bit through me.

oh boy, I hope she wont attack Bella. someone needs to hold her back. I love this. Emmett's bit made me laugh
Great! I love the way she described Seth. I love how all of them are so far. I love how you get the wolves as perfectly as you get the Cullens.
Thanks, Jada! I try my best to capture the wolves as well as I can. I know vampires are more my thing and thats why it means so much when you say I get the wolves. I'm excited to see what you give everyone for chapter three that will lead me into chapter four :)
- Dajah
I'm working on it right now. It will probably take me some time because of school. I don't know what all it's going to entale but i'm excited to see what i come up with.
Hi Dajah,
its a great chapter. I enjoyed the tension you got into the writing and the way right at the end she suddenly smells Bella's scent.
Best wishes
Interesting situation! I am looking forward to see what happens next!
Chapter Three – Changes
I stood there listening to the one sided conversation with Jacob thinking and Edward answering his thoughts. I never liked when they did this because it left everyone out of the loop, searching for answers on what they were talking about.
In one split second the scene changed. Something moved but I couldn't tell what. Jacob and Edward moved in sync to block Bella from something coming at her. There was a loud crash and Angelina was against the wall and it had a huge hole in it.
She got to her feet and she looked mad with her red eyes glowing like fire. She was after something and she was going to get it one way or another. She tried a different tactic. She ran toward Bella from a different angle, but before she could even get close to her I grabbed her.
I had no clue what I was doing. I was just acting on my wolf instinct. I didn't want to hurt her but my instinct was telling me to phase and take her down. I didn't want to hurt anyone.
She was strong, a little too strong for me to handle. Luckily Emmett and Jasper grabbed her too. She squirmed and tried to get free. She slipped of our hold somehow and went for Bella again.
Edward acted fast but not fast enough. When he hit Angelina, Bella flew to the doorway of the kitchen. She hit her spine against the corner of the doorframe.
She let out a gasp of pain and Jacob and Edward were at her side in an instant.
"Bella, are you alright?" Edward asked.
"Fine… Just…. A little… Out of… Breath." Said Bella still trying to catch her breath.
Angelina must have grabbed a hold of Bella right before Edward hit her and the force of the hit and Angelina throwing her out of reaction to being hit must have sent her flying across the room.
Paul had just pinned her down and she was trying to get free of him.
"Get Bella out of here. We'll handle your new friend." Jacob said friend in a disgusted tone.
Edward looked at Jacob like he was thinking about whether he should listen and do what he says or not. He nodded and then grabbed Bella and took her out of the house.
Jacob slowly crossed the room to where Paul, Emmett and Jasper were now holding Angelina. They were holding her much better this time. She couldn't get away no matter how hard she tried.
Jacob looked at her with anger and a bit of annoyance. He looked like he wanted to make her pay for trying to hurt Bella and that he was going to.
Before he could to anything I stepped in between them.
"Don't hurt her. She didn't mean it."
What was I saying? What was I doing? Was I really protecting a vampire?
"Are you crazy! She almost killed Bella. She's a danger to us and all of Forks and La Push. She deserves this and so do all the ones like her!" Paul was almost screaming at me from behind.
I looked up at Jake pleadingly. "Pleas don't do this. She's just a newborn. She made a mistake. It's not like you've never made a mistake. She doesn't know how to control herself. She needs to learn. Let her learn and if she still goes after Bella or any other human you can kill her. Not until then."
He shook his head and sighed "Seth, you know we can't do that. We came here to take care of this vampire. It's not just the fact that she attacked Bella. We were ordered to do this. Do you really want to go against Sam?"
I hesitated "N-no…. but we…. we could…." I trailed off I didn't know what we could do.
Esme cut in, "We could add her to the family. Give her a chance to make a proper start."
"It could be a possibility. We'd need to discuss it with everyone. So we'll wait for–"
Carlisle was cut off by a single word spoken in anger. "No."
"Edward, please. We must at least give this girl a chance. Doesn't everyone deserve a second chance?" Esme tried reasoning with him but he just wouldn't hear it.
"I don't care. I knew it was a bad idea to bring her here while Bella was still here. She shouldn't have come and whoever changed her shouldn't have."
"Please don't do this to me. Before a few minutes ago I didn't know what I was anymore. I didn't know I would lose control after smelling her scent." Angelina chimed in.
She had a beautiful voice, but it was over taken by a pleading and frightened young girl. She looked up at Edward with sad eyes that looked like she was about to cry. She stopped fighting and they let her go. She was standing tall, but she looked like she was about to run away if anyone tried to hit her.
Edward came and stood in front of her. He looked like he was studying her face intently. He raised his arm as if he was going to hit her or something. She braced herself for what was about to happen. He moved his arm like he was going to hit her, but stopped inches from her face. He looked ashamed of something. He lowered his arm to his side and backed away.
She came out of her offensive position and he said "I'm sorry. I'm ashamed of myself for almost doing that. I've worked so hard to try and not be a monster, but I truly am one."
I wanted to say something to him, but I wasn't sure what to say. How do you comfort a one hundred year old vampire? I mean he's not bad, but he's probably seen and done so much to make him believe he is one even if he's not. Will that be me one day?
"Thank you Seth. No it won't." Edward smiled lightly.
He had read my thoughts and invaded my mind, but it didn't bother me like it bothered Jake. For once I wanted to know what was in his head. It's funny how he knows everyone like an open book, but he is so sealed tight. I guess that's what comes from years of things you regret. Will I one day regret saving this young vampire's life? Only time will tell I guess.
I liked this girl for some reason. She was beautiful yes, but I saw something more in her. I don't know what it was that I saw in her, but I do want to find that out. I couldn't tell anyone about this. They would hate me until the day I die. None of the pack could understand it. I was always the one that accepted the Cullens the most. I couldn't really explain it myself. If only I could keep this a secret. I know its going to hard, especially when I'm in wolf form.
I mentally shook myself. No. This can't be happening. I can't be falling for a vampire, especially one that I don't know. I'm not, I can't be. It's impossible, it's not right. I won't accept this. It will go away eventually. Yeah. I'll just ignore it and the problem will fix itself.
There is only one way to do that. I will do everything I can to stay away from her. Out of sight, out of mind, so they say.
I will not become a victim to this. I will surpass this.
I will not let things change.
Author's Note: First, I will not be doing this after each of my chapters. Just ones I feel I should say something. Second, I hope you like the story so far and I hope that you like both of our writing styles. I know that two different writing styles can be confusing in a story, but if there is something you don't understand about any of my chapters please feel free to ask me.
Seth really likes her! Maybe he sees something in her that the others doesn't. It will be interesting to see how things turn out!
Great writing, again :) Omg next chapter will be so much fun to write!
Hi there,
I enjoyed the chapter a lot.
Seth is going to have a hard time trying to forget her.
Best wishes
You know, I always love to read your comments. I'm not sure why but I look forward to when you read and comment. Thank you so much for reading our (Mine and Jada's) story and I'm so glad you like it :)
- Dajah
Aww sweet chapter :) near the end. Seth is willing to save her as he likes her. Paul always was some what a Jerk lol

What do you think of the
DAKINE Omega Glove
? Share a...
will this glove keep my husband's fingers...
Member since
will this glove keep my husband's fingers warm when he is snowblowing in 0 degree weather?
Mike D Hilverda
Member since
There are definitely warmer gloves out there, but if you are looking for a good blend of warmth, good price, and good articulation the DAKINE Omega Glove is hard to beat. If you are looking for a glove that is made for ultra cold temps I would really recommend something like the Canada Goose Utility Glove, the OR Stormbound Mitten, or the Rab Endurance Mitten.
Great Glove
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love this glove and only bought new ones because I loaned these to a friend and they mysteriously disappeared. I guess he liked them too. Not crazy warm but good enough for most days. Also pretty low profile so you still have your dexterity. Besides skiing would also where these around town any time it was cold because they actually fit in your pocket unlike most big gloves with gaiters. My new gloves are Hestra for cold days, there were a gift, and flylows for warmer days.

It was the Welsh sage Alan Watkins who remarked that a budget that looked good the day it was delivered to the British Parliament was sure to look terrible a week later, and vice versa. The avalanche of new information dumped by the Treasury is simply too much to grasp at a single sitting, and governments tend to bury bad news in a welter of statistics. And so it proved with finance minister George Osborne's budget served up last week.
The immediate headlines stressed that rich Brits would pay less income tax – down from 50 percent to 45 percent – but it only took a day before even traditional Conservative cheerleaders like the Daily Mail were condemning Osborne for funding tax breaks for bankers and billionaires by stealing from those living in retirement. The paper's cover screamed: "Osborne picks the pockets of pensioners."
Osborne insists he is sticking to his "Plan A" to reduce the public deficit by sharply cutting state spending by 25 percent over the five-year parliament and imposing severe austerity. Because he believes his "Plan A" is on target, all he needed was a touch on the tiller. He therefore designed his budget to be fiscally neutral – that is, for every tax cut there was a corresponding tax increase. He put up tobacco and alcohol duties and sliced a little off corporation tax.
Osborne's broader economic experiment, however, is fast faltering. If it were a drug trial, doctors would be urgently taking patients off the snake oil and feeding them the placebo. In 2010, he inherited from Gordon Brown's Labour government a fast-rising recovery in economic growth, but now, after two years, GDP is headed south, and Britain is teetering on the edge of a government-inspired double-dip recession. In the last quarter of last year, GDP shrank by 0.3 percent.
As predicted, "Plan A" is not working. The number of jobless is 2.67 million (8.4 percent) and rising, the highest rate for 17 years, and the cost of paying the unemployed to do nothing is soaring. Inflation is running at 3.7 percent. Most galling of all, no doubt, for Cameron and Osborne, who were rushed into taking drastic measures when Bank of England Governor Mervyn King spooked them into believing the markets would punish them if they did not tackle the deficit right away, the rating agencies Moody's and Fitch have warned that notwithstanding the debt-reduction efforts, Britain could soon lose its AAA status.

This is authentic Peruvian ceviche. (have many Peruvian family members). We marinate the fish quite a but longer. Make sure the fish is as fresh as possible!
Peruvian Ceviche
Leigh Beisch
Ceviche, which involves immersing delicate raw fish in aromatic citrus juices, is an innovative way to slowly "cook" fresh fish. Habanero chiles add a spicy kick to the dish, but are balanced out by a mixture of sweet potatoes, corn, and butter lettuce.
