|George W. Bush
|Preceded by

|Succeeded by
|Julius Genachowski
|Personal details
December 14, 1966
Charlotte, North Carolina
|Political party
|Catherine Martin
Kevin Jeffrey Martin (born December 14, 1966) was the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. He was nominated to be a commissioner by President George W. Bush on April 30, 2001, and was confirmed on May 25, 2001. On March 16, 2005, President Bush designated him as FCC chairman, to replace Michael K. Powell.[1] President Bush renominated Martin to a new five-year term on the Commission on April 25, 2006, and he was reconfirmed by the U.S. Senate on November 17, 2006. In January 2009, Martin announced that he would step down from the FCC and join the Aspen Institute, as a senior fellow in the think tank's Communications and Society Program.[2] He has since become a partner with the law firm Patton Boggs LLP.
Prior offices[edit]
Before becoming a commissioner, Martin was a Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy. He has also served as the Deputy General Counsel to Bush-Cheney 2000, on the Bush-Cheney recount team in Florida, and on the presidential transition team.
Before joining Bush-Cheney 2000, Martin served as legal advisor to FCC Commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth, in the Office of the Independent Counsel, and as an associate of Wiley Rein LLP. One of Wiley Rein's most important clients is Verizon ([1], [2], [3]).
Upon graduation from law school, Martin served as a judicial clerk for Judge William M. Hoeveler of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami.
Martin went to Charlotte Catholic High School for four years. He earned a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (where he was elected student body president), an M.P.P. from Duke University, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. He is a member of the Florida Bar, District of Columbia Bar and the Federal Communications Bar Association.
Chairman Martin married a Harvard law school classmate, Catherine J. Martin (Cathie). Following law school, Cathie practiced law as an associate of Steptoe & Johnson in Washington, and then held the following positions in public service: Counselor to then Texas Attorney General John Cornyn; Deputy Chief of Staff for Secretary Donald L. Evans at the U.S. Department of Commerce; Counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney, Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy at the National Economic Council, and Deputy Assistant to the President for Communications (Policy and Planning). Kevin and Cathie reside in Washington, D.C.
On January 15, 2009 Kevin Martin announced his resignation as the new Administration takes over. In a statement he said his philosophy during his tenure at the FCC "has been to pursue deregulation while paying close attention to its impact on consumers and the particulars of a given market, to balance deregulation with consumer protection." The statement notes what Martin accomplished during his tenure, including one promoting broadband, and specifically wireless broadband, and protecting consumers from harm, by issuing $150 million in fines, or more than any other chairman.[3]
Subsequent career[edit]
In 2013, Martin was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief submitted to the Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage during the Hollingsworth v. Perry case.[4]
Beginning in September 2009, Martin began serving on the Board of Directors of the telecommunications hardware company, Xtera Communications. Xtera specializes in supplying network infrastructure for long-haul, submarine, metro and WAN applications.[5]

Please America! Judge Dredd Year One Review
- Written by CajunBean on Monday, October 28 2013 and posted in Reviews
Judge Dredd: Year One
Judge Dredd is a strangely iconic character. Hop the pond, and people know his name, but for some odd reason, the crochety ol' lawman has never quite gained traction here in the states. After reading this trade all I have to say is "What is wrong with us?!"
Year One is much like the title suggests, a rookie Dredd roaming the streets and busting heads with no hint of compassion. It is basically exactly what I expected. But then it took me a step beyond expectation, and I soon found myself genuinely intrigued and entranced by this peculiar bit of UK sci-fi.
The art does a fantastic job of creating a truly visceral and disturbing world. From faces to scene work, everything is bleak, gritty and harsh. There is heavy use of shadow work constantly, and it really does invoke some sense of this world. It is as if Mega-City One has no truly bright facet, there is no place where things are jovial and pure, and I love it. Artist Simon Coleby and colorist Leonard O'Grady manage to craft a world that I simply never want to live in. Page to page and panel by panel there was not a moment that I didn't think "Holy hell, this world sucks…" and this is meant as absolute praise.
The story line itself is very fun. The narrative by Matt Smith is really well composed, and he does manage to give every character a sincere and unique voice. This is not an easily accomplished feat, and I know all the writers out there are nodding their heads in agreement. The idea of an unseen villain, some sprawling entity that gnaws away at society by infusing children with vast psychic powers is haunting. The fearless Judges find themselves trapped at a moral crossroad, when the opposition are nothing but children with a streak of bloodlust in them a mile long. It really is a well composed dilemma and Matt Smith executes it incredibly well. His invocation of a fledgling Dredd is about as spot on as I can imagine.
I really can only spew positives about this trade. If I were to sling out a complaint it would be that the ending did not quite explode as intensely as I had hoped, but it does leave room for mystery and further development.
In summation I loved the art, it manages to invoke a sense of misery. I loved the writing, the voices and storyline are all very clean and focused. I am made at Americans, because why the hell are we not reading Judge Dredd?
4 ½ out of 5.

About the Author - CajunBean
He was born in the swamps of Louisiana, where he spent his days punching gators in the crotch and funneling gumbo til his eyes bled. Then one day, a powerful foreign entity dragged him across several state lines, and tethered him to the Colorado Rockies, where he lives in perpetual fear of freezing to death and there is nary a gator crotch in sight for punching. Now he hides inside, dreading snow flurries, and hammering away reviews and non-nonsensical ramblings for the outhouse overlords (cuz apparently someone saw fit to lord over outhouses).

The following is a press release from Elkhart Community Schools:
Quick action by Alta Beers, driver of Bus 88 for Elkhart Community Schools, meant that smoke did not turn into a fire.
Beers was driving her afternoon route delivering students home from Mary Beck Elementary when she saw smoke coming from the outside of the back of the bus. She safely pulled off the street near 8th and Franklin, then followed safety procedures.
Children were evacuated to a safe area, and the central transportation department was contacted. With children off and away from the bus, the driver verified that a shorted-out exterior light was causing the smoke. Boys and girls were safely delivered home on an alternate bus.
Bus 88 had been inspected this summer by the Indiana State Police. Like all vehicles, buses can develop unanticipated problems. Thankfully, school bus drivers are regularly trained in how to respond to those problems.
School officials are contacting families of students who were on the bus at the time of the incident.
The faulty wiring was repaired, and Bus 88 is ready to return to service Monday morning.
Good job, Alta!

Hundreds of young people braved the cold to put the finishing touches on their routines for the up-coming Rose Parade on New Year's Day in Pasadena, CA.
The Lassiter Marching Trojan Band will make their fourth appearance at the honored event.
More than 200 high school students brave the chilly December air marching around the football track practicing for the parade.
"This will be our fourth visit to the Tournament of Roses Parade," said James Thompson Jr. "This parade in particular marks 25 years to the day since the first band from Lassiter marched in the parade."
"I can't image being at Roses right now," said trumpet player Jason Grooms. "Its not real yet to me, but it will be when I get there."
The student musicians donned their marching uniforms to give a farewell concert to family members and fans on Thursday night. They played one last time on home turf - preparing for the big time in California, where the world will be watching the very best from Atlanta.
"Its an incredible experience," said Lassiter senior Anna Gwaltney. "Its something that not everybody can see in person much less participate in so I'm very honored to be a part of it."
The band leaves for California on Dec. 27, and it will take six air planes to get more than 230 students and their instruments out west.

To the Editor: We agree with most of the methodological limitations pointed out by Drs. Powell and Howell. Our study lacked controls and a standardized treatment protocol, and subjects were recruited at their most symptomatic. Some of the improvement was probably due to spontaneous remission. The efficacy of psychotherapy for dissociative identity disorder is not a scientific fact.
We disagree that a tautology occurred because of our use of outcome measures to assign subjects to integrated versus nonintegrated groups. Only the DSM-IV criteria for dissociative identity disorder from the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule were used in this assignment. No other outcome measures influenced this assignment.
On the basis of our data, it seems unlikely that properly conducted therapy for dissociative identity disorder causes deterioration or chronic illness. Many people who receive this diagnosis make remarkable recoveries, given their degree of baseline comorbidity. Our data support allocation of resources to more rigorous prospective treatment outcome studies. In light of the methodological limitations of our study, one can no more attribute therapeutic causality to medications than to psychotherapy or spontaneous remission.
There are many ethical, logistical, and methodological problems in designing and conducting rigorous treatment outcome studies for dissociative identity disorder. Treatment to stable integration often takes 4 or 5 years. It would be unethical to randomly assign subjects to a placebo group for that long. Therapists who believe in the specificity of psychotherapy for dissociative identity disorder would be unlikely, as a matter of personal conscience, to participate in a study that involved random assignment to 5 years of placebo treatment. Therefore, one could not recruit therapists to the study. The likelihood that patients would stay in the study in the placebo control condition for that long without dropping out is minimal.
Prospective random assignment to placebo or waiting-list control groups in a treatment study for dissociative identity disorder is impractical. We suggest that different schools of thought should be compared to each other. At present, our school of thought is the only one that has provided prospective treatment outcome data with scientific methodology of any kind. The burden is now on competing schools of thought to match or exceed this level of methodology and to demonstrate a superior outcome.
We plan to initiate a prospective treatment outcome study beginning at the time of initial diagnosis. It will include measures of health care utilization, employment status, clinical variables, and treatment modalities employed.
Another approach would be to screen a large population base, such as all individuals covered by a major managed care company. Subjects with undiagnosed dissociative identity disorder could be identified with the test battery used in our study. Half could be randomly assigned to the treatment we recommend, and half could be left undiagnosed and tracked as they receive conventional treatment for other comorbid disorders.
We hope that such studies are completed over the next decade and subjected to rational, reasonable methodological scrutiny such as that provided by Drs. Powell and Howell.

The Iroquois Flag and the Hiawatha Wampum Belt
The Hiawatha wampum belt is comprised of thirty eight rows, having a heart as a great tree in the center, on either side there are two squares, all are connected with the heart by white rows of wampum. The belt is the emblem of unity among the Five Nations.
!!! Missing home.
Correction: This flag also represents the TUSCARORA and it's SIX NATIONS.
!!! Missing home.
Lolllll too bad for the Tuskys (Tuscaroras for you non natives), can't handle 😉

You'll be surprised to know how far you can go from the point where you thought it was the end !!!
Rajiv Saddy said
Very good attempt. This is a very beautiful song of Hemant da. I am impressed with your choice of songs that you attempt.
You can improve by continuing to sing and use a little better technology fo recording.
Please keep singing!
Rajat Pawar said
number one: dedication
number two: range
number three:singing.
All these have been rightly applauded by all.
Bahot achhe Swati.
Dilip Kawathekar said
Singing for male singers (or Vice versa) is very tricky, slippery and hard work.
You have taken a big leap and have successfully dealt with it. On the contract of very mature and spherical voice by Hemant Kumar, your innocent and humble voice is a treat for ears.
Keep going.

No-money ball: Why the Astros and Marlins will lose
The Houston and Miami teams spend shockingly little on player salaries, not necessarily damning but awfully hard to overcome.
The Astros have moved to the American League this year and even managed to upset cross-state rivals Texas Rangers 8-2 in their debut game in their new league, their first season-opening win since 2006. Fans in Houston might want to savor it because most baseball experts don't expect to see many more such victories. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports predicts the Astros will post a dismal record of 45-117, continuing the streak of 100-plus-loss seasons.
One big reason for the low expectations for the Astros is their estimated $25 million payroll -- by far the lowest in the Major Leagues. As Brian Shachtman of CNBC and others have noted, individual players such as New York Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez make more money than the whole Astros team.
Chip Bailey of the Houston Chronicle is trying to stay optimistic, noting that "No one is predicting playoffs and division titles, but there is a level of excitement as youth is served amidst a handful of veterans seeking to carry a rebuilding -- oops, 'under construction' -- team on its shoulders."
As for the Marlins, Bloomberg Businessweek described owner Jeffrey Loria as "the most hated man in baseball" for his habit of dumping high-priced players when things didn't go his way, such as last year's 92-loss season. The team traded five players in November to the Toronto Blue Jays to rid itself $146.5 million in salary. And that was after officials in Miami-Dade County ponied up $490 million to build a new stadium after Loria threatened to move the team.
Not surprisingly, the Marlins lost $47 million last year. Their $45 million payroll is the second lowest in the majors behind the Astros.
A Marlin fan site even posted an April Fool's story saying Loria had agreed to sell the Marlins for $680 million to Micky Aronson, CEO of Carnival Corp. (CCL), for $680 million. Arinson also owns the Miami Heat, the defending National Basketball Association champions, so he knows a thing or two about winning. Alas, it was just another cruel joke on Marlins fans, whose hopes will likely be dashed again.
Jonathan Berr does not own shares of the listed stocks. He thinks the Philadelphia Phillies will do better than the pundits expect. Follow him on Twitter @jdberr.
Stupid, shallow article. Any amount of effort on the part of the typer (can't even bring myself to use the words "writer" or "reporter") would have shown that the Astros have been putting significant effort into rebuilding their organization to develop young talent. They have revamped the front office, including poaching two analytics experts from Baseball Prospectus.
Instead of blowing a bunch of money on expensive free agents, who might get them up to 70 wins, they're developing their youngsters, giving them instruction and playing time at every level, from Rookie ball up to MLB. In the next 3-5 years, the best of these kids will form the nucleus of a (cost-effective) competitive ballclub, and then, some of the money the club is saving now can be applied to picking up the couple of free agents needed to fill the remaining holes.
The Marlins are just evil.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) _ Rhode Island students have made improvements on national assessments in grade 4 reading and grade 8 reading and math.
Thirty-eight percent of fourth graders were at least proficient in reading on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, up 3 points from 2011. That was the last time the test was administered. Thirty-six percent of eighth graders were proficient in both reading and math. There were improvements of 3 points in reading and 2 points in math.
Proficiency in grade 4 math dropped 1 point to 42 percent.
The Rhode Island Department of Education released the results on Thursday.
The state says this is the first time students performed above the national average in all four assessments. Education Board Chairwoman Eva-Marie Mancuso says students are on the right track but more progress must be made.

text: I have been working for several years with policy- and law-makers to support a rights-based response to HIV and contribute to stemming the tide of the epidemic. This work often requires raising highly controversial and discomfiting issues such as class, sexuality, gender and stigmatized behaviors such as drug use. It also involves the most marginalized society groups– sex workers, transgender people, homosexual men and drug users. Often, parliamentarians are not fully informed of the complex factors that allow HIV to spread and thrive within communities, particularly the ways in which marginalization, disempowerment, stigma and discrimination contribute to making people vulnerable. But I have witnessed how individuals in positions of influence – lawmakers, judges, the police – can drive advancements in the law that protect those affected by HIV and benefit society at large. Concerted efforts at engaging parliamentarians on human rights issues can lead to tangible change, although it is often a slow and onerous process. We, at UNDP, play a pivotal role in engaging governments and building capacity of government actors on many development issues, including on HIV and the crucial need for rights-based legal approaches in addressing the epidemic.

There is usually nothing romantic about a smart phone, but with Valentine's Day coming up, it is a necessity. Some need all the help they can get when it comes to making it romantic and there are some new apps to help.The biggest problem some have is planning a romantic evening out. There are two app which can help with last minute plans. The first is Fandango which allows users to order tickets from their smart phone or tablet for upcoming shows. It also gives reviews, show times, and in-depth information on upcoming showings for a nearby theater.The other is Urban Spoon which gives dinner ideas and reviews of restaurants.A good thing to remember though is that Valentine's Day is very busy for both industries, so make sure to purchase tickets and make reservations early.And on a Windows 8 Nokia phone, there is a function called City Limits which allows the user to see the restaurants nearby like a radar screen.If you are looking for a good gift for a love one, Verizon is actually offering the Nokia phone for free and a $100 off a 7-inch Samsung tablet.Watch the full segment by clicking on the video aboveFor links to the apps in this Tech Check go to facebook.com/DougEvansFOX5

The Bruins were going back to Chicago. The New Garden was as loud as it's ever been, the Stanley Cup was going to stay under wraps, and the greatest puck series of a generation was going to play out in a seventh game Wednesday night at the United Center.
And then it melted like a snowcone on Causeway Street on the hottest day of the new summer. Before you could say Grady Little or David Tyree, the Chicago Blackhawks had their own Miracle On Ice and captain Jonathan Toews was hoisting the Stanley Cup over his head.

- will probably try lunch nextOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014I recently visited this restaurant and found the food to be great and the service excellent. I found the potato pancakes a bit dry and would not order them again however. I think an addition of german rye bread would be a very nice change. This is meant to be a constructive suggestion. Thanks for having us. Jack & Harriet.Special Features:
- great food and beer and atmospheresatisfiedDined on 9/12/2014I took my family of four and my father for dinner. I was expecting great food and that is what was delivered. A bonus was the cold German beer in a warm glass really brought out the flavor. I was really impressed with the cleaniness and warm atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you love great food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wunderbar!DebbieDined on 9/10/2014I was meeting a business colleague who had a layover at CVG. I chose Steinhaus because it was conveniently less than 15 minutes from the airport and it was not a chain restaurant. In addition, it highlighted the German heritage of Cincinnati - perfect for entertaining an out-of-town guest. What a surprise the restaurant turned out to be! It was a gem. The food was plentiful and good, the service attentive, the atmosphere fun, and the owners welcoming. I think it would also be a great family place or a wonderful gathering spot for friends. Try the appetizer board of German meats and cheeses. Very wonderful! I highly recommend it.Special Features:
- Cincinnati German visitorsRalphDined on 8/29/2014The food was good, the chef was very disorganized,we received our food in 10 minute shifts. The selection is not as good as before, more vegetarian selections is good. The quirks will get worked out. Service was good. WE will be back but the chef must get organized or customers will not come back. We are loyal so will return. The owner made it right and gave us a free visit. Maybe two chefs would be helpful to ease up the pressure on one. We are thrilled that they are open again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 95 reviews are from the Steinhaus German Restaurant reviews archive.
- With regretrivercat17Dined on 4/26/2014We had eaten here before. It was wonderful.This time we took friends. This review is painful to give. It took 4 choices of wine before they had it. It is a German restaurant without-veal,red cabbage, several of the listed vegetables on the menu;and to end the night with a cappuccino-they were out of that also. The service was good, the restaurant is fantastic, manager did all she could to help us. We asked "what has happened?" and where are the owners-they were gone for the weekend.Food was good but we didn't have a chance to order what any of us wanted-We kept hearing "I am sorry but we don't have that." We will give it one more chance as all who were there did their very best. As I said at the beginning - this was painful to write.
- DisappointmentchucknburlingtonDined on 4/26/2014I recommended to friends we try this restaurant. The ambience is nice. After studying the menu & getting recommendations from the waitress, we ordered our selections. After placing our orders, approximately 5-10 minutes later, the waitress returned to announce they were out of my selection & my friend's selection(different). She advised we needed to order something else. This was a Saturday evening and you'd think they would be able to satisfy whatever was ordered. The restaurant was not crowded or too busy. I'm not sure what the story is here! I ordered another entrée and it was tasty; however, the sauerkraut served with the entrée was somewhat dry & not at all what I expected. We will not return.
- OK but not greatbcburnDined on 4/25/2014Atmosphere and decor seemed to have an Asian feel rather than German. The service was not what was expected - even for an average restaurant. The appetizer, soup/salad course and entree were all brought with 7-10 min of each other so we had it all on the table at once. The food was OK but not great. The butter that came with the bread was amazing. The bread seemed more French than German. The restaurant was very clean and the hostess was very sweet. Overall a 2.5 out of 5 but doubtful I'd be back.
- Knocked outta da parkOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/4/2014This has become our favorite spot for special occasions. The food is absolutely wonderful. And you have to try the desserts.Special Features:
- Steinhouse 4-2-14PaddyGDined on 4/2/2014The food was OK. I ordered the stuffed pork tenderloin with bacon but there was very little stuffing and no bacon. The portion could have been larger for the price, $23. The beer could have been colder. The brussel sprouts were good. There were no pepper shakers on the table. The waiter had to get a pepper grinder.
- excellentkymomDined on 3/28/2014Lovely food and atmosphere. Not a budget-friendly meal but definitely worth the splurge. Be prepared to take your time: this is not a quickie meal. I'd make recommendations for entree's but I'd never get the spelling correct. We've been twice in the past month and enjoyed everything. Experiment with the sides. Unlike most restaurants, Steinhaus has some really great & unusual options. Highly recommend you give this place a try. Oh! I know it sounds odd, but make sure you use the restroom while you've there: my husband, especially, gets a great deal of amusement out of it. It's unique.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, great service!lindseybpDined on 3/21/2014My wife and I had a rare night out without the kids and heard good things about the Steinhaus. It was even better than we expected! The German food is, without a doubt, the best we have had outside of actually being in Germany. It is true authentic German food made in house and you can tell. Everything done perfectly and seasoned just right. The service we had from Maria was some of the best service we have ever had. We were blown away by her knowledge of the food and German food in general. She walked us through selecting a wonderful german beer and also helped us with our food selection. Maria really did go above and beyond, just can't say enough good things about her. What a gem. Overall HIGHLY recommended!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steinhaus is Great!SteinhausDined on 3/21/2014I had a great experience at Steinhaus--great food, fantastic service, and a wonderful atmosphere!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't Miss the OpportunityLocalsDined on 3/8/2014This is my favorite restaurant in Northern Kentucky by a mile. The owners take care to ensure their guests always feel welcomed and appreciated. The food is exceptional and the staff is top notch. The German beer is wonderful. If you are looking for a truly delicious meal in a wonderful environment, this is the place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A few issues but overall okayfamilygroupDined on 3/4/2014Dined on a weeknight with a family group. Service was very good and two special meal requests were generously honored, but the kitchen had food timing issues. Half of the meals were brought out; 5 minutes later, another few meals; 10 minutes later, the last meal (and it was for the person who paid the bill). Two meals were lukewarm at best. Considering that the restaurant was not remotely full, I expected better quality of food. The facility is beautifully remodeled and can accomodate very large groups. I recommend that the management seriously work on the timing issues. It is a unique restaurant and has great potential - I hope our service was the exception and not the rule.Special Features:
- Cincinnati's new German restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/1/2014Since the closing of the Black Forest and Lenhardts our city has been devoid of a good German restaurant. No longer is this the case. Steinhaus has a wonderful selection of beers, decent wine list and wonderful food!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday celebrationnavywifeDined on 2/27/2014Great food, great service! A perfect meal to celebrate my husband's birthday. I would highly recommend this restaurant to all. I recommend the roulladen. Restaurant was child friendly & nice adult getaway.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!CarlDined on 2/22/2014Was in Cincy for the day with friends; found Steinhaus on line & decided to give it a try. Man are we glad we did! Excellent food & service; I will make the 3 hour round trip drive again just for dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden GemMillieBDined on 2/22/2014What a hidden gem located in Erlanger, KY. Surprised my husband with dinner reservations to celebrate our anniversary. From the outside you would never know what awaits you when you walk in. After a clumsy seating by the hostess, we were immediately attended to by our waitress. She was very helpful and knowledgeable; answered all our questions that were swirling in our heads about the menu. She made excellent recommendations from drinks to dessert. The food was absolutely delicious. I was able to substitute sides to accommodate my diet needs. We plan to return and bring family and friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingJeffDined on 2/15/2014We've been to the Steinhaus before and the food is outstanding. My wife is German so this is a real treat for her to have some of her native food. The meal was prepared perfectly and tasted wonderful. Our waiter was slow getting to us at first (15 min. before we could order the wine), but he came around and did a good job. I would recommend this restaurant to a friend.Special Features:
- Our Favorite local restaurantLocalsDined on 2/15/2014The Steinhaus is truly a local gem. This restaurant is owned by a German gentleman and his wife who are almost always on site. The owner will come to you table and discuss the menu, how the prepare the food, Germany, etc. He is a truly welcoming figure. The food is absolutely delicious. My husband and I are trying to sample everything on the menu and haven't had a poor meal yet. Every time we eat there we can't wait to return to try something else. These family owned restaurants should be patronized. I hate to see great restaurants struggle because the word hasn't gotten out. You will not be disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful German FoodHarpGirl710Dined on 2/14/2014Sometimes I just have to have real German food. I'd heard great things about Steinhaus, so we decided to dine there on Valentine's Day. It was also our 20th wedding anniversary. We braved a snowstorm and headed out. It was well worth the trip! The stuffed pork loin was tender and smoky, and the bread dumplings were the perfect accompaniment. But maybe my favorite were the Brussels sprouts. They were flavorful, cooked slightly al dente with just the right amount of char on the edges. The apple strudel was perfect. Just like I've had in Munich. The service was great, and the owner came around to make sure everything was to our liking. We for sure will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Valentine Day's DinnerKentuckyNewComerDined on 2/14/2014First time at Steinhaus and enjoyed the four course Valentine Day dinner and dessert. Started with small potato pancakes that were pretty good. The soup was very good as was the salmon in a puff pastry. The dessert was exceptional. Three chocolate disks separated by sponge cake, Bavarian crime and sliced strawberries. The server and other wait staff were attentive without being overbearing. Will certainly visit again.Special Features:
- Great Food/Great Servicedme917Dined on 2/13/2014As always, the food was delicious! Well prepared and we presented! The staff is very friendly. The children's menu accomidates the tastes for all little one, from German to the typical "American" meals. There is something for everyone on the menu. A" must go to" place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable EveningNancyDined on 2/7/2014This was our second visit to the Steinhaus and it was again very enjoyable. Our server was very attentive and helpful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I can't believe I never ateAnnaLDined on 2/7/2014I can't believe I never ate there before! I have lived in this area for 10 yrs. I took my mother in law here for her wedding anniversary, from the moment we walked in we were pleasently surprised. The decor, the staff, and Omg the food! We will defiantly be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First Class German RestaurantnonameVIPDined on 1/29/2014We highly recommend this German Restaurant for excellent cuisine and good service. If you like German food this is where you want to go. It's first class but casual, comfortable and very attractively decorated.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Authentic German FoodMommaJDined on 1/25/2014Having lived in Germany for 3 1/2 years with the American Military, we found the restaurant to have truly authentic German food. The sampler platter was outstanding, and the roast chicken just like what we had in Germany. Even the brussel sprouts were good! The cream puff could have come straight from Bavaria. The only thing not German was the lava cake option for dessert -- but it looked delicous! All of our food was well prepared and served hot. The beer was smooth and one of the best I've ever had. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu choices.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Girls night outKYENDined on 1/16/2014Food and service were excellent. Authentic German cuisine with options for vegetarians. Interior of restaurant is beautiful and unique.Special Features:
- Authentic german CuisineGaryDined on 1/16/2014Being from Germany, I am always a bit leery of trying to get the taste of home here in Cincinnati. Most places quickly miss the mark with their "Americanized" German menus that really have no relation to home, however, Steinhaus is an exception. The food, especially the meat, had that flavor you find in Germany. I had the Jager Schnitzel and my wife had the Wurst Platter, both were exceptional. The sides were good, but I would preferred pan fried potatoes instead of what seemed liked deep fried potato slices. Again good sides, but could have been better. Our friends had the Wiener Schnitzel and the tasting platter, which included Sauerbraten and Roladen. I tried the Sauerbraten and it tasted just like home. Try this place. PrositSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Worth the PricefoursomeDined on 1/14/2014We dined on a Tuesday and there were very few people there. The Appetizer was good but the main meals were not. They seemed to be left overs from the night before. The red cabbage was certainly re-heated and was not good at all. The schnitzel was very overcooked as if it had been cooked once then re-cooked the next night. The coating was hard and the meat was dry & difficult to even swallow. The baked chicken was OK. We have been to this restaurant before on busy nights and the food was much better. The food we had was either over cooked or re-heated from the day before. It's a pricy restaurant and I think customers deserve freshly cooked food. The beer selection is good. And we had an excellent server.
- family lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 1/3/2014I took my grandparents here whe they were visitibg ftim europe. I wanted to go somewvere that was new to me but that they would enjoy. I coudnt believe it when we walked in and they all werespeaking in german to my grandfather ( who does not speak english) it was such a great expierence. and the food was amazing. authentic german food. I have already recommeneded everyone I have spoken with since we left the restaurantSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- family dinnerCowboys2013VIPDined on 12/31/2013the food was wonderful, the service was superior. Even had the owners come to our table and ask us how everything was. Felt like we were special.Special Features:
- Hopeful for the futureAnonymousDined on 12/31/2013The waiter was very distracted. He took our drink order. Then came back and made some excuse that drinks would be coming and took my order, then my husband's then asked me what I ordered again. That should have been a hint. I ordered a salad and entree. We had been there a half hour and still no drinks. The entrees came out from someone else and I asked again where the drinks were. This person brought the drinks. The waiter came over to see if we had everything and I asked about my salad. My food was very good. My husband's streak appeared to have been pre-cooked and was cold. I wish dinner had been in the correct order. The waiter kept making excuses about being short handed. Not sure if his inefficiency or perhaps kitchens
- Das was not so gutOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/31/20131st time, New Years eve reserv for 6:15. Not real crowded when we got there but soon filled up. We are both fans of Sauerbraten so can only comment on it. Taste was OK, but tougher than shoe leather. Most places can cut with a fork. We needed steak knives. Usually this is made from bottom round and marinated 3 days. It was either low grade meat, or marinated for 3 hours vs 3 days. It was OK overall, red cabbage the real deal and spaetzle fine except not warm. The biggest problem was service. It was not because of the server, he was turbo charged and good, but one server can not take care of 12-15 tables especially on the front side of the dining hour. Understaffing or no show servers, unsure, but suspect was normal.
- Absolutely wonderfulMensch1351Dined on 12/28/2013Had a guest from out of town and we'd been to "another" German restaurant before so we decided to try something new. Very good beer and then our favorite "Sauerbraten." Very generous portions and their red cabbage was superb. I'd recommend this place very highly!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great German FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/27/2013This is the best German food I've found outside of Germany, it may even be better than the food I had in Germany. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes German food, or anyone who wants to try German food. It's a little more expensive than I'd like it to be, but for the quality of food, it's worth it. I had the Sauerbraten, it came out as two thick, flavorful slices; as it should be. They were topped with a delicious gravy and red cabbage, accompanied by two potato dumplings on the side. Everything was delicious, I highly recommend Steinhaus!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Der Kellner zu viel zu tun hatteTZ33VIPDined on 12/14/2013The service was poor, the food was great. The waiter had a whole private room to wait on and our table. WTF! You're not getting good service for anyone with that plan. No desert was offered, just the check.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not a Fan of German FoodabloomerVIPDined on 11/29/2013but we still came. The food was good, but it's just not something that I have the desire to have.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Authentic German FoodRandyDined on 11/15/2013Even though this restaurant is on the pricey side it is AWESOME!!!! Great service Great food and Great portions.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Authentic German FoodLauraDined on 11/14/2013I lived in Germany for seven yrs and struggled to find a good German restaurant here in the states that was close to the type and quality of what I had in Germany - The Steinhaus is it! My husband and I enjoy eating food that is close to what we used to have while in Germany. The schnitzels are huge and provide a few extra meals for us. The beer and wine selection are great! I brought a group of out of town colleagues to the restaurant and they were all very pleased with their meals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

231: Cat Proximity
|Cat Proximity
Title text: Yes you are! And you're sitting there! Hi, kitty!
[edit] Explanation
This comic refers to the use of "baby talk" when speaking to pets. A person's voice becomes falsetto and cooing, vocabulary becomes simplified, and phrases are repeated, such as "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty". The chart shows that a person's apparent intelligence decreases, and the inanity of their statements increases, the closer they get to a cat.
Most people act like this when they're playing with cats; unless they're allergic, of course.
Thankfully being close to a cat doesn't actually cause brain damage in normal circumstances; the graph technically refers to demonstrated intelligence rather than IQ.
[edit] Transcript
- [A graph is drawn, x-axis: "human proximity to cat" from far to near.]
- [A curve labeled intelligence veering downwards.]
- [A curve labeled inanity of statements veering upwards.]
- [Cueball standing far from a kitten.]
- [Cueball standing closer to a kitten.]

I'm sure if you will be doing IQ test with cat, you will score lower. Especially if the cat would lie on the paper. So ... let's say that the reduction of IQ near cats is in normal circumstances temporary. -- Hkmaly (talk) 08:54, 27 September 2013 (UTC)I vote we remove the "Incomplete" tag. Said tag is labeled "Come on...", but I honestly don't see how this could be expanded upon. 22.214.171.124 07:32, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

After showering her fans with love in a letter that was posted on her website, Christina Aguilera has released a companion video of sorts.
It's a music video for her song "Let There Be Love" -- off her 2012 album Lotus -- that lacks fancy dance moves or special effects but comes straight from the heart. In a message to her fans at the beginning of the clip, The Voice coach says, "Hey everybody, Christina here, just thanking you guys so much for filling my life and my heart with so much love."
The video expresses pro-equality, anti-sexism and anti-racism themes, with lots of people flashing the "L" sign with their hands, to represent the concept of "love." Watch for cameos from Christina's son Max , her boyfriend Matt Rutler , and her pal Nicole Richie .
Christina tweeted a link to the clip on Thursday, writing , "This one is just for you."
