Marvel vs Capcom: Origins review
The more things change, the more they stay the same. This statement more than any other reflects my time with Marvel vs Capcom Origins. As a kid, I frequented a local skating rink here in Florida that had Marvel Super Heroes. Now, I was barely tall enough to mash on the buttons, but I remember thinking how cool it was to use Spider Man and the like in battle in the same way I could in Street... Read More

A high-return, low-risk investing strategy
This three-part hedge sets up double-digit annual returns from dividend yield.
By Michael Thomsett, ThomsettOptions.com
Once you understand the components of the dividend collar trade, you can find them with a little research.
I have not had trouble finding them at all; last month, I opened five of them. But these are not fixed strategies, since the timing of entry is key.
To understand the dividend collar, you need to get away from the traditional view of each option as separate trades. Because you open a short call and a long put, think of it as a single position. The long put is paid for by the short call, so your basis in the collective option positions is zero (or perhaps a small credit).
This means that when the last trading day arrives (as it did this past Friday), one of two outcomes is likely:
- The call is in-the-money and your shares are called away. The put expires worthless. In this outcome, you profit from the dividend, any credit in the options, and any capital gain in the stock.
- The put is in-the-money and you exercise your put, disposing of shares at the strike. The short call expires worthless. Here, too, your net outcome is profits from the dividend, any capital gain, and any credit in the options.
In both cases, you have a profitable outcome, based largely on earning the dividend, and without any market risk. So where can this go wrong?
This week, two dividend collars with April puts were "calendar" dividend collars, meaning the short call expires in May. I think this is one of many ways to do a collar, especially if you don't mind earning the dividend and then converting to a covered call (see The MoneyShow). Here are the two outcomes:
- General Dynamics (GD) consisted of 100 shares at 70.31, an APR 70 put and a MAY 70 call. On Friday, the stock was worth $66.56 so I exercised the long put and sold 100 shares @ $70, taking a $31 loss. I also closed the MAY 70 call and took a $155 profit. This was not a bad outcome, considering that I also earned the dividend of $56 on April 8 as part of this trade.
- Colgate-Palmolive (CL) consisted of 100 shares bought at 116.75, a long APR 115 put and a short MAY 115 call. The problem with this position is that the strikes are well below the basis in stock. So on Friday, I let the put expire worthless and I left the MAY call in place. This is now a covered call position; but the problem remains that the call is in-the-money and the strike is below the purchase price of stock. The basis in the call has to be considered as zero since its premium was used to buy the put. So on this one I have a problem I'll have to contend with by May's expiration.
The calendar version of the dividend collar leaves a lot to be desired. It's easier to find because the later-expiring call has more time value. But you cannot rely on the situation like General Dynamics, in which I was able to offset a profitable call for favorable change in the stock (via put exercise). It's much better to seek out the rarer but more realistic same-month option expirations.
Remember, though, the virtual portfolio's trades are for educational purposes, so we can learn a lot by entering strategies that seem good at first but don't turn out as well as we thought.

RACINE, WI (WTAQ) - A 60 year old Racine man will be sentenced next June after pleading guilty to two counts of election fraud.
Mark Demet admitted falsely signing the names of other people on recall petitions aimed at state Senator Van Wanggaard, a Republican from Racine.
In exchange for the plea, prosecutors dropped 7 charges against Demet.
He has reportedly also been under investigation in neighboring Kenosha County, though formal charges have not been filed there yet.

Today marks the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which brings awareness to the disease that is estimated to affect 230,000 new women this year. With that in mind, the Daily Post sat down with four Gwinnett breast cancer survivors, each with their own story of fear, pain and hope.
Margaret Leeper, 60, retired elementary school teacher
"People are so compassionate and willing to help. What we've got to do is take advantage of them. You've got to be willing to accept the help, to know that they're reaching out and to reach back. You're not alone and there's no one person or group of people who can get you through this. But there's a whole community to help us."
Nila Dunehew, 47, mother of four
"I found a lump, and just thought well, it's a cyst, there's no history in the family ... I ended up waiting two or three years, I don't even remember. There were times when I would get really scared, and just say, I could be fooling with my life here."
Dinh Thi Nguyen, 54, proud grandmother
"I didn't know what to do. I was scared. I'm still scared now. I never thought I would be in this situation. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to say."
Blossom Harvey, 65, faithful Christian
"It was the darkest day of my life, honestly. I never felt like that before, and I started to cry ... Sometimes I'm really feeling down, but God said, 'I'm here to protect you.' So I just keep going."

Timothy ZahlHow to check and Replace Fuses
Fuses are designed to stop excess current flow that can overheat circuits, damage equipment, or even cause a fire. To account for normal electrical spikes and surges, vehicle designers typically specify fuses with amp ratings of double the current flow a circuit will see under normal conditions. In automotive applications, there are push in/pull out blade fuses which resemble teeth, and there are cylindrically-shaped fuses which snap in place at both ends.

PHOENIX (KSAZ) -- Confidential Child Protective Services documents were found dumped in a Phoenix alley -- exposing private and sensitive information about children and parents involved in CPS investigations.
The agency is trying to figure out why a case worker's files were mishandled and exposed this way.
CPS is already under fire for not investigating 6,000 cases of child abuse and now the agency is trying to figure out how the confidential files of cases that were investigated ended up just thrown out in the trash.
Thousands of pages of CPS documents, involving dozens of children and parents -- containing the most sensitive and detailed information on cases of child abuse and neglect -- all of it left outside in a cardboard box next to a dumpster in a Phoenix alley.
The man who found it doesn't want to show his face, but he says he called FOX 10 when he realized how serious this private information was.
"Once you look at it.. besides people's social security numbers, the information is a lot more damning information than that," he said.
Looking through the thick stack of papers, it was shocking to see how much information was just left out in the open. Along with social security numbers, phone numbers, addresses, there are medical records, psychological exams -- even photos.
And then perhaps most disturbing of all -- detailed reports of child abuse and neglect, showing a timeline of CPS case workers involvement -- all of it going back several years.
The man who found it knows how serious this breach of privacy is.
"Well they should be happy I found it and you know.. somebody else could have done something more with it," he said.
It's not clear exactly how all of this ended up left out in the open for anyone to see.
CPS statement to FOX 10:
"The Department of Economic Security is extremely concerned about this report. Child Protective Services never disposes cases in such a manner as it is not only against policy and procedure, but prohibited by state and federal law. This is clearly a breach of confidentiality and the Department is investigating further to ensure strict enforcement of privacy and confidentiality laws. Anyone found to be involved in wrong doing will be held accountable in accordance with the law."
A representative from Child Protective Services came to the FOX 10 newsroom to pick up the documents and he promised they will work to get to the bottom of how this all happened.
The man who originally found the documents in the alley says he gave them to us in light of the recent CPS controversy involving uninvestigated cases. He wanted to make sure this issue was given attention and something was done about it.

At one point, probably about 15 years ago, RC cars were all the rage. However, with the advent of video games and a myriad of other entertainment options for kids, their popularity has surely waned (not a fact, just conjecture). So what's a toy company to do? Simple, blend the two.
Hot Wheels's iNitro Speeders aren't your typical RC car. First off, they're absolutely miniature (adorable in fact) in size; 1 3/4″ long. Included is a carrying case that doubles as a charger and a remote control. Controls are of a traditional setup, with the left stick controlling throttle and the right stick for turning the car. Since the iNitro Speeders are so darn small, the wheels don't turn and instead rotate independently much like a tank to achieve a left or right movement. But that's hardly exciting, is it?
To keep with the times, and toss in a dash of pizazz, Hot Wheels also allows you to administer controls using your iPhone. You'll just need to plug in the included infrared dongle, which is how the iNitro Speeder receives its commands. The app includes a set of controls that mimic the physical controller, but that's not all. You can also draw custom paths or choose from a number of shapes, which we can only assume that the iNitro Speeder will follow to a 't'.
There are 8 different iNitro Speeder cars and they're each available now for $32.99.

Ozark Center opens apartments for homeless youth
Friday, March 08, 2013 - Ozark Center opens apartments for homeless youth
JOPLIN, Mo.—Ozark Center officially opened a second Pre-Adult Transitional Housing (PATH) apartment complex, a new residence to homeless youth in need of long-term housing, as well as assistance developing essential life skills. After seven months of construction, the completion of PATH II doubles the number of young adults Ozark Center can house.
The PATH project primarily reaches youth who aged out of the foster system, but will also aid young adults in the custody of the Division of Youth Services, homeless youth, or those whose home life is harmful. Each year, approximately 25,000 youth grow too old for services available from the nation's foster system, after which an estimated 25 percent of them become homeless. Consequently, experts further estimate 66 percent of homeless youth report problems with substance abuse or mental illness. Joplin is not immune to this problem. In May 2010, Ozark Center's PATH program opened apartments for homeless youth. One year later, Joplin lost nearly 7,000 residences during the devastating tornado, further decreasing the availability of homes.
"The majority of us will never know the fear of being homeless. We aren't aware of what it means to age out of the foster care system or live in a home environment that is not healthy. Most of us have never grappled with mental illness or substance abuse," said Phil Willcoxon, Ozark Center Chief Executive Officer. "Throughout our daily lives, most of us do not encounter these issues, but for the young adults participating in the PATH program, these issues are very real. Through PATH and the services it will make available, we will continue to change the lives of these young adults in a very meaningful way."
Supported by the Missouri Department of Mental Health, these apartments will aid local youth in developing independent living skills, interpersonal skills, and mental health services. PATH II is intended for young people ages 17 to 22 who have been diagnosed as having a mental health disorder. Services at PATH include basic life-skill building; personal finance assistance; housekeeping; interpersonal-skill building; decision making and stress management; GED preparation, postsecondary training, or vocational education; assistance with job preparation, career counseling, and job placement; prevention and treatment of substance abuse; and mental healthcare.
Completion of PATH II has allowed Ozark Center to increase its number of housing units for young adults from 8 to 16. In addition to fully furnished apartments, the complex features a finished basement to be used for psychosocial rehabilitation groups, recreational purposes, and a tornado shelter.
"At its most fundamental level, this facility will provide the young adults participating in our program with four walls and a roof over their heads—some of life's basic needs they have not always had met," said Vicky Mieseler, Ozark Center Vice President of Clinical Services. "But our hope is to impact these young people on a deeper level, providing them with more than just an address. Our goal is to give them stability, support, and guidance—all the elements that will help ensure each of them a brighter future."

He undertook early postgraduate clinical training at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, Kent and Canterbury Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital, Lambeth amongst others, gaining membership of the Royal College of Physicians in 2007.

It is well recognised that diabetic patients suffer worse outcomes from ischaemia-reperfusion events, including both in the heart (as myocardial infarctions, or "heart attacks") and in the brain (as strokes). Furthermore, strategies that can be employed to protect against the effects of ischaemia-reperfusion injury in non-diabetics appear to have decreased or no effect in the diabetic. In the heart this set of impaired outcomes is likely due to the existence of a subclinical cardiomyopathy - or disease of the heart muscle - in many diabetic patients, even before an acute ischaemia-reperfusion event occurs.
The interplay between the diabetic state, the resultant cardiomyopathy and superimposed ischaemia-reperfusion events forms the focus of Idris' research at the Hatter Cardiovascular Institute in the Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences at UCL.
Idris has held a variety of teaching posts, including a clinical teaching fellowship in cardiology at St Helier Hospital in Carshalton, Surrey and an honorary clinical lectureship in medical education at St George's, University of London. He holds a Postgraduate Diploma in healthcare and biomedical education and is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
At UCL he teaches within the cardiometabolic domain and the cardiology components of the undergraduate medicine course, as well as on the MSc in
Cardiovascular Science course.

This week's top buys in ETFs
With dividends and gold in focus, these funds should perform well.
ETF investing has been a lot of fun as the stock market took off in September, but exchange-traded funds and stocks vacillated last week. After the momentous run for investments in September ran out of steam, it was -- as I said last week -- a mixed bag.
Could we expect anything else? As the month came to an end with one of the best Septembers ever, it was only natural to have a pause.
In some ways, however, a pause could be considered a victory -- and an opportunity for ETF investors.
I offered five exchange-traded fund buys for last week to be bought in equal weight with my mythical $100,000 model portfolio.

We made a whopping $250 during the week. That beats the small fractional loss of the S&P 500 during the week. The difference was approximately 30 basis points in our favor.
It may not seem like much, but do that over the course of the year and you have some serious out performance.
We now turn our attention to some serious economic statistics that are due out this week. Front and center is the jobs report to be released Friday.
Average analyst estimates for the report are for the economy to add a modest 70,000 jobs in the period.
Given the soft summer period for many businesses this number seems just about right. I don't expect the number to be much higher or lower.
The lack of drama in the report should be viewed as bullish for investors. Right now the momentum for stocks is higher, and only a very weak number will derail the rally.
More important for investors will be the results of earnings for the just-finished operating quarter. Given the absence of earnings warnings with the obligatory lowering of expectations, I expect the period to be better than expected.
While stubbornly high unemployment, government debt issues and a nervous consumer the market is poised to move higher next week.
My prognosis for stocks at the beginning of the year was for the S&P 500 to post a gain of 10%. We have about 8% more to go to get there before the end of the year. It could be a very nice way to end the year indeed.
Here are my five ETF buys for this week:
SPDR Gold Shares (GLD). A strong market rally will be interpreted as inflationary by investors. That means the gold rush continues. There is no reason to jump off the gold bandwagon just yet. I'm waiting for the Federal Reserve to get much more hawkish against inflation before suggesting that the gold music will stop. Fortunately the central bank telegraphs its intentions well in advance. Investors will have plenty of warning before having to jettison gold positions.

iShares Russell 2000 (IWM). Are you interested in beta or stocks that will do better than the market in a rising stock environment? Small cap stocks are the place to be. For a small portion of the portfolio adding some sizzle is always a good idea. If you think stocks are going up this week and beyond as I do then the Russell 2000 is the place to be.
WisdomTree Large Cap Dividend (DLN). Damping the risk of the being exposed to the small cap space investors can balance that position by sticking to dividend stocks. These stocks should do well no matter what the overall market is doing. The key thing is to collect dividends. If corporations raise dividends given third quarter results this position should increase in value.
SPDR S&P Metals and Mining (XME). This position was the big winner last week and that should continue in the current week. Mining stocks do not quite reflect underlying value of their respective commodities. There is clearly a lagging effect especially in the gold market. The rapid rise in the price of gold has some in the mining space doubting the move. I wouldn't bet against gold right now. Eventually mining stocks will reflect the current value without much worry about a move lower. Owning this fund now is an opportunity to capitalize on inefficiency in the market.
SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA). The Dow Jones Industrial Average can't get any love these days. Investors tend to view the index as a list of companies that may be dinosaurs devoid of growth. Well, maybe not that bad, but there is a certain aversion to the index. Expecting a correction this week, I want to own the index that is likely to hold up the best. That would be the Dow.
I would buy equal positions of all five funds mentioned here for the week ahead to stay ahead of the market.

In this year's budget, lawmakers failed to restore funding for a unique program that brings in new teachers by the hundreds to North Carolina.
The funding for the N.C. Teaching Fellows program was cut in 2011, but those in the program were grandfathered in until 2015.
Once those students graduate in the next year or two, the program is gone.
"I feel like it's not a profession that's valued as much as it should be," said Elizabeth Townsend who is getting a scholarship from the program.
Townsend is about to give this state a multi-year commitment as part of the program.
"They give me a good size scholarship and in return I have to teach for four years in a public school in North Carolina," she said.
Since its inception in 1986, the program has given this state a steady supply of teachers and ones who stay.
"I have had teaching fellow graduates who teach 14, 15, 16—even 23 years since the first class graduated," said Jo Ann Norris, who is President Public School Forum of North Carolina which oversees the Fellows program.
With funding for the program cut, Townsend is in the last group that'll enter N.C. classrooms.
She thinks that's bad for kids.
"A lot of kids are going to miss out on having teachers that were well prepared through the program," Townsend said.
And in a time of a tough economy with this state offering some of the lowest teacher salaries in the country, some are fearful about where this state's new teachers will come from.
"It's not best time to try and recruit teachers in North Carolina," said Norris.

Giordana Silverline Roubaix Sport Women's Tights $0.00
Three-season comfort.
The Giordana Silverline collection is where you'll find the best bang-for-buck in terms of performance, style, and cost. These Women's Silverline Tights are functional and they fit beautifully, but they have a price that is easier to swallow in comparison to the cost-is-no-object Forma Women's Tighs. Aesthetically, many might not notice the difference, as Silverline still meets Giordana's quality standards and their design template.
The central parallel between the Silverline and Forma tights is the fact they both make extensive use of Super Roubaix fabric. Super Roubaix wicks better than standard Roubaix, and stretches a bit less. Better wicking means you stay drier and thus feel warmer. Stretching less means more compression, a gentle squeeze on your leg muscles that should make them feel better and allow you to go harder for longer.
The Silverline Tights are built with a wide, soft, elastic-free waistband to keep them in place on your body as you pedal. The band is something Giordana calls a "roll top" which allows each user to determine the ideal position for the waist. Roll or fold it down so it sits lower on the hips or leave it all the way up for more coverage. The design has already been used in their 2008 Silverline shorts, and has gotten raves.
The Silverline Tights come with the WMC-3 OF insert, their top-of-the-line women's-specific chamois that is seamless, sectional, and stretches. There is reflective piping strategically placed in the back and sides of the tight. The Giordana logo is reflective. There is gripper elastic at the ankle. There are side zippers by the ankle to make getting the tights on and off easier.
- Ample reflective piping to make you more visible
- Roll top waistband can be adjusted to the rider's comfortable height
- Zippered ankles for easy entry and exit

PIC: Total Recall – Worst Movie Poster of 2012?
Monday, July 16th, 2012
I forgot this remake even existed, but I say, yes. Check out the poster here. It's pretty hilarious.
It looks more like a mish mash of Battleship and Underwold. Let's call this, Underwold: Battleship Recall. A five year old could recreate this on Photoshop.
Colin Farrell looks constipated AND.. what the heck happened to Jessica Biel?
What do you think of the Total Recall poster?

Brooks Falls Bear Cam - Prime Brown Bear Viewing in Katmai
Live streaming video by Ustream
There's a few weeks left of one of nature's most exciting reality shows: the Katmai Brooks Falls Bear Cam. These salmon-fishing brown bears in Katmai National Park and Preserve in remote Alaska (about 250 miles west of Anchorage, Alaska) are followed by 8 webcams as they jockey for their positions on the river. At the season's peak in July, there might be some 70 brown bears within one square mile of the camp! Each one has a unique fishing technique - some wait at the top of waterfalls to catch jumping fish, others dunk their heads in like bobbing for apples. The best time to view the bears is in July, and then again in late August through mid-September when they return to Brooks Falls.
This year the Brooks Falls bear cam live stream saw a few improvements, adding 3 extra cameras for more varied angles as well as enhanced social features like live web chats and photo sharing.
OregonLive.com reports that about 10,000 people a year visit the park, which is only accessible by float plane. And a dedicated community follows the Katmai bears online, with 20,000 comments reportedly made on the webcam last year.
Watch the Brooks Falls Bear Cam on the embedded video in this post, or follow the links to see it full screen. Contact AdventureSmith Explorations' Alaska experts to discover how you can see this brown bear action in real life on our Brown Bears of Katmai adventure! We offer tours to the viewing platform just above this river.

OBJECTIVES: This article defines androgens (and anabolic steroids),
describes their mechanisms of action, and summarizes their behavioral
effects and relevance in animals and humans. METHOD: A MEDLINE-derived
review of the literature on androgens and behavior was performed; pivotal
earlier publications were also obtained and included in the review.
RESULTS: In animals, the effects of androgens on brain structure and
function are well-established and profound, with behavioral implications
extending far beyond reproduction. Androgens play a prominent role in the
organization or programming of brain circuits, which are subsequently
activated by gonadal steroids. In humans, roles for androgens have been
described, albeit inconsistently, in the regulation of sexuality,
aggression, cognition, emotion, and personality. The relevance of androgens
for psychiatry is further suggested by gender-related differences in
pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and in the prevalence, course, and
treatment response characteristics of several psychiatric disorders. Direct
psychoactive effects of exogenously administered androgens have been
described for many years, most recently in reports of the psychotoxic
effects of anabolic steroids. CONCLUSIONS: Data from both animals and
humans suggest that the biological and behavioral responses to androgens
are context-dependent.

- Not PleasedGNO2014Dined on 9/20/2014I made reservations online for 7:45 p.m., we did not get sat at a table until 8:10 and was then told there was a long wait due to them being short staffed. It took over an hour after that to even begin our food. The restaurant was hot. Apparently the side by the bar and where the restrooms are at had the a/c not working. It was so hot even with the portable units and the table we sat at had a leaking a/c because it kept dripping from the ceiling. This will not be a restaurant we go to again for another girls night out.Special Features:
- 3 1/2 hours is too longRCPFDined on 9/20/2014Reservations for 7:30. We arrived at 7:25 & told there'd be a 15 minute wait. No problem. 1 hour later, we find out that a group of 30 had arrived 30 minutes late for their reservation & everyone after them was pushed back. We were finally shown to our table between 8:30 & 8:45. I wondered what the purpose of having a reservation was. We were treated as if we'd just walked in off the street & were thrown to the end of the line to wait our turn. If this group couldn't keep its reservation, it should have been the one pushed to the end of the line, instead of the groups who arrived on time. Our waiter was new. It was his 3rd day on the job. Things were slow, but he got the orders right. The chef was entertaining & the food good.Special Features:
- Outstanding!DodgerDiningDined on 9/20/2014We booked an early reservation because we had tickets to a show. Lucky we did because the place was buzzing by the time we left. We were seated with a great group of people, which always helps. Our waiter was on time and attentive. The main attraction was our chef, who not only wad the routine mastered and cooked everything to perfection, but was very entertaining too. My wife's mango salmon was cooked perfectly, and my chef's special steak and chicken were right on the money. All in all a fulfilling experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great service and foodfriedriceluvrDined on 9/12/2014I was very happy with the quick and hassle free reservation process. The service was outstanding. The chef was very entertaining and attentive to our son.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty GoodclickaltdeleteDined on 9/6/2014Our chef, Roy, was great. We had a reservation at 4:45 and we still had to wait for a table to be completely full before they'd start the show. That means we waited until 5:15. There were plenty of open tables .. we could have gotten started and when someone has a reservation, they should have let us begin. Also, our water and drinks were always late and we were always waiting. For as expensive as it is ... it should have been better.
- good place as group or a coupleRestaurantgoerDined on 9/5/2014Clean restaurant, friendly staff and quick service. Food was prepared well, but a little bland for my taste. Sushi was good and fresh.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- crashDined on 8/13/2014Celebrated husband's birthday and used grandkid's reading rewards coupon. Had a great time. We had a new chef (George) but he was fun and did a great job. This was our first visit and we will be back. Kids had a great time and tried some new foods.;-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/10/2014Unless you make big big money for all the time going out it is a little pricey, but I definitely recommend this place for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mixed FeelingsLea23Dined on 8/2/2014I have been here several times but during the week it is much better. This time we went on a Saturday night and had to wait 20 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. Then another 45 minutes for the chef. He was very funny and made the experience better at least!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very entertaining!LKatDined on 8/2/2014The food was great, and the entertainment by the chef was awesome!Special Features:
- Great Hibachi ChefTCBartonVIPDined on 7/25/2014We absolutely loved our chef. (Abel) We have ate at several if not all the Japanese Hibachi restaurants in our area and he was the best we have had. The food was cooked to perfection. My filet was incredible! It was very warm in the restaurant and we noticed we were not the only ones uncomfortable with the temperature. The only other thing i would change would be to increase the portions and variety of vegetables served. We have been to several other hibachi restaurants that serve mushrooms, broccoli, and more zucchini.Special Features:
- Bad Night!MrEdRVIPDined on 7/24/2014Had 7:45pm Thursday evening reservation, not seated until 8:20pm. At 9:30pm, we had only had soup and salad and still didn't have a cook at the table yet so we left and had to have fast food!! Mgr said Thursdays have been like this lately but still allowed for reservation and never mentioned when we arrived at 7:40pm that there was any type of issue so we could have just left at that point! Love Benihana from past but this was just a BAD NIGHT!
- Good for special occasionsericaddymanDined on 7/19/2014The "chef" asked my temperature and request for spicy chateubriand several times plus it was written down by the server. I still did not get it right...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Dinner, Great atmosphereTronDined on 7/15/2014Not crowded. Food was very good. Chef was entertaining. Not too noisy. Server was outstanding, keeping all glasses full. Overall a fantastic experience. We will be making this a regular dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- underwhelmedaddicted2foodDined on 7/4/2014For the price, the food was very average, and the cook was kind, but the pace and the order of items cooked was not good. The last thing served was...onions? Whey would you do that? Just left the place very disappointed, particularly for the amount of money we spent.
- birthday bummerbummedbirthdaygirlDined on 6/29/2014Sushi rolls were good. Hibachi was boring and bland. The cook was nice but boring and slightly awkward. The server was MIA most the time. Didn't know the menu and seemed very laid back,about the whole thing. My husband and saddad made several comments that it was )point the chef or waiter would do something to make it special but nope. The whole experience was disappointing and underwhelming.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 6/21/2014The food was okay. Our chef seems new and, although he cooked, it wasn't all that entertaining. The ice cream at the end was completely melted and not edible.

- Fun but ForgettableDeciusDined on 5/23/2014Lot of fun with a group or kids. Seating is conducive for groups, and the chef's cooking acrobatics is fun for kids. However the food is average. Definitely not bad, but not memorable like the preparation is. Overall a place you go to for the fun experience and a decent meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Long wait!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/23/2014I had a reservation for 7:30 I waited 30 min to be seated then 3 hours for food.
- fum to watch, but not much flavorKeithDined on 5/23/2014It was a neat experience, but the food had no taste. They put the food on the grill and you watch them cook it, but they use no spices, salt, or pepper to enhance the flavor, so everything comes out plain. It was fun, but for the cost, we probably won't do it again.Special Features:
- Awesome for Anniversary!DaCuriousEaterDined on 5/22/2014Benihana in the Woodlands was a really nice spot. I was really appreciative of the fact that the hostess did not admonish us for being 7 minutes late. Our server was awesome and our chef was humorous. I believe I see Father's Day around the corner..........Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Ended up leaving without eatingMb7468Dined on 5/18/2014We had a 3 pm reservation and arrived at 2:50. I was told that the computer hadn't switched to the 3 pm reservations yet and we were asked to have a seat. At 3:10 I went back up and asked her if the computer had switched yet. She said no. At 3:25 we complained. We were then told they were short on chefs and they could seat us at a table but we wouldn't have a chef for at least 45 minutes!!! SO, we left and drove 20 minutes north to Wild Ginger and had a wonderful dinner. I was disappointed that the hostess wasn't upfront with us when we first walked in. Someone should've explained to us what was going on so we didn't waste 40 minutes of our time.Special Features:

- Never againOpenTable Diner Since 2014VIPDined on 5/10/20142 hours and 20 minutes from time in the restaurant to time entrée delivered !!!! what's the purpose of having a reservation if they don't really care about it I had a reservation at 8:30PM. Arrived at 8:20PM and was told "you far too early" (sic) !! At 8:50PM I had to complain for finally getting sit at a table At 10:40PM our entrée was finally delivered !!! Japanese culture is know for silence, meditation, etc So what's the purpose of all that circus from the chef at the table making as much noise as he can for absolutely no reason and no productivity
- Benihana - The WoodlandsluvbenihanaDined on 5/10/2014We have been coming for several years and we will keep coming as we love it. Wonderful for friends, family & twosomes.Special Features:
- My Daughter's Birthday RequestMommy1stDined on 5/9/2014My 11 year old requested her birthday dinner to be held at this location and we were also celebrating my father's retirement. I regret ever making that 7:45 reservation. We waited over 90 minutes for the chef to come out and our waiter said that since my stepson and his friend were running late the chef would not come out until everyone was seated. When the chef, Aaron, came out he was less than energetic and was quite frankly boring. By the time we finished eating it was well after closing time. Our waiter didn't even know where my child's birthday cake was and no one apologized to us about making us wait so long for service. We were the last people to leave. I am extremely disappointed and wish that I had chosen another place to dine.Special Features:
- Annual AdventureOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/9/2014This marks the 3 time my child has chosen to eat at Benihana for their special birthday dinner. It is always a great choice, this year was one of the best. Thank you Benihana for making my child's birthday special!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad experienceUnhappy1Dined on 5/9/2014Chef assigned to cook at our table was total dud. Did not interact or entertain at all. Took grandson hoping for lots of fun and even he was bored. Too much money for a Mediocre meal and uncaring staff.
- Not as good as I rememberedSharpknivesDined on 5/5/2014We went on a Monday evening to celebrate a birthday. The place was very nice and the staff was very inviting. Unfortunately our chef was a little boring and our chicken and shrimp were cooked to death. Also, the timing of the portions being cooked was off. We will stay with our local hibachi next time.Special Features:
- Enjoyable evening.HdenneyDined on 5/2/2014Two hours seems like a long time for dinner...but the time flew by as Chef Freddy entertained with all of the usual Benihana tricks and our server Vonn met our every need. This is an excellent place to take young children...the chef puts on a magical show for them and it is a treat to others to watch the kids expressions.Special Features:

- Missing SomethingcouldhavebeenbetterDined on 4/26/2014It has been many years since I had a dinner at your business. I was disappointed that the cook was not as skilled at entertaining as I remember. I missed the upscale atmosphere. Many clients appeared to not care what they were waring. I don't mean it had to be coat and tie. It was more like what you would see at a McDonalds than a nice upscale restaurant. Our dinner for four was $250. and that was with two so small Kids. That was a little much for what we received.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

James Jones | WR | Oakland Raiders
Posted: 3/18/2014 11:08am et
The Oakland Raiders have agreed to terms with free-agent WR James Jones (Packers) on a three-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Nice signing for the Raiders with a more accomplished wideout than has been there since... Randy Moss? Jones stock goes up now that he should end up the #1 receiver but a lack of quarterback doesn't make the 30-year-old Jones more than a risky middle tier pick in fantasy drafts.
Posted: 3/16/2014 10:14pm et
Free-agent WR James Jones (Packers) is interested in signing with the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: The WR-needy Panthers have seen their free-agent options dwindle in recent days, and could look to the former Packer, who led the league with 14 TD grabs in his last full season (2012).
Posted: 3/4/2014 10:50pm et
Green Bay Packers impending free-agent WR James Jones (Packers) said he'd be interested in joining the Indianapolis Colts or San Diego Chargers if the Packers don't re-sign him.
Huddle Up: Jones, who turns 30 later this month, still has a good deal of football left in him. He had a career-high 817 receiving yards this past season -- a year after leading the league with 14 TD grabs -- and he could get more of a chance to showcase his talents as a strong No. 2 in either Indy or San Diego after being stuck in the Pack's seemingly annual WR logjam.
Posted: 2/24/2014 2:06pm et
The Green Bay Packers have not offered WR James Jones a contract, and it is unlikely they will before the start of free agency. 'I don't think Ted Thompson wants him,' said Frank Bauer, Jones agent. Bauer said he has appointments with a number of teams to discuss Jones.
Huddle Up: Jones was thought to be out the door previously, yet wound up back in Green Bay, so don't write him off just yet. That said, with Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson both up for contract extensions Jones may be free to find a new home elsewhere.
Posted: 1/7/2014 10:55pm et
Green Bay Packers WR James Jones is excited about the prospect of testing free agency again this offseason. 'People know what I can do. I'm excited about it,' Jones said. 'Like I said, I would love to come back. A-Rod's my guy. We've got a great group of receivers and would love to come back and play with those dudes. I've been here for seven years, it's not like I've only been here for three years and now I'm a free agent. Shoot, I dang near spent my whole career here, so I would love to finish here.' Jones improved on his dropped passes in his last three seasons and had a career-high 817 receiving yards in 14 games this year.
Huddle Up: Given their choice -- and more importantly, the right price tag -- the Packers would no doubt prefer to keep Jones around, but the emergence of Jarrett Boykin this season gives the team a strong fall-back option.
Posted: 11/4/2013 8:33pm et
Green Bay Packers WR James Jones (knee) is active for the team's Week 9 game.
Huddle Up: Good news for Aaron Rodgers owners as Jones returns to the WR mix for Green Bay after missing the past 2 games. He has 1 catch for 10 yards since a 4-127-1-TD showing in Week 5.
Posted: 11/2/2013 1:44pm et
Green Bay Packers WR James Jones (knee) is participating in practice Saturday, Nov. 2.
Huddle Up: It sounds like there's a good chance Jones will play this week. The problem for fantasy purposes is the Packers and Bears don't play until Monday night, so owners will need a backup plan in place in case Jones doesn't suit up.
Posted: 10/31/2013 5:19pm et
Green Bay Packers WR James Jones (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 31, and hasn't practiced in full since spraining his left knee Oct. 13.
Huddle Up: It's still early in the practice week with the Packers not playing until Monday night so see what Jones can do over the next few days.
Posted: 10/21/2013 4:47pm et
Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said he hopes WR James Jones (knee) will be able to play Week 8 but will know more Wednesday, Oct. 23. McCarthy indicated the doctors expected Jones to miss two to three weeks.
Huddle Up: Aaron Rodgers is losing players left and right, so this would be huge. Expectations seem low, but keep an eye on Jones this week.
Posted: 10/19/2013 11:39am et
Green Bay Packers WR Myles White could serve as the team's third wide receiver if WR James Jones (knee) is unable to play.
Huddle Up: It's looking like Jones won't go on Sunday. White doesn't offer any fantasy value right now, as he'll be behind Jordy Nelson, Jarrett Boykin and Jermichael Finley for targets on Sunday.
Posted: 10/18/2013 5:28pm et
Green Bay Packers WR James Jones (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 18, and is listed as questionable for Week 7.
Huddle Up: This has all the makings of a game-time decision, but Jones hasn't practiced all week and we'd advise fantasy owners to line up another option ASAP.
Posted: 10/15/2013 11:26pm et
Green Bay Packers TE Jermichael Finley may line up as a wide receiver starting in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns with WR Randall Cobb (fibula) on Injured Reserve and WR James Jones' (knee) availability in question.
Huddle Up: Finley only has 9 catches for 107 yards on 14 targets over the past 3 games, but look for a definite uptick in his numbers with the Pack's WRs corps depleted.
Posted: 10/13/2013 10:17pm et
Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers WR James Jones (knee) was believed to have suffered a right knee injury in the Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens, but he was seen after the game icing his right shin in the locker room.
Huddle Up: It seems the Packers packed their four-leaf clovers to Baltimore this week, as both Jones and Randall Cobb appear to have escaped major injury. Hopefully Jones won't miss much time, but keep an eye on him this week.

Framed by green hills and white limestone cliffs TRIESTE looks out over the blue Adriatic, offering an idyllic panorama from its hilltop citadel, at least when the gale-force Bora winds aren't blasting you off the seafront. But in any weather, there's a distinct atmosphere of grandeur with a cosmopolitan twist. The city's main squares are adorned with spectacular Neoclassical buildings, and the much-photographed canal, clustered with open-air cafés, is a reminder that, just like Venice and its lagoon, this city has enjoyed a glorious seafaring past, too. Like so many ports in Europe, there is a certain seediness here, particularly evident in some areas around the train station, although in recent years the city has been spruced up. The heart of modern Trieste is in the grid-like streets of the Borgo Teresiano, but no visit would be complete without a climb to the top of its hill, San Giusto, named for its patron saint and with the best views for miles around.
The thirty-odd kilometres of coastline either side of Trieste, from Muggia to the south and as far as Duino in the north, are optimistically known as the TRIESTINE RIVIERA. While beaches aren't as good as you'll find further down the Adriatic, or even at nearby Grado, some fine walks, historic sites and castles are worth a day-trip from Trieste.
Brief history
Trieste dates back as far as the third millennium BC, with Jason and the Argonauts alleged to have been among its earliest visitors. Roman ruins scattered around the city attest to its incorporation into the Roman Republic in 178 BC, when it was called Tergeste, from terg or market. However, with the exception of the castle and cathedral of San Giusto, and the tiny medieval quarter below it, the city's whole pre-nineteenth-century history seems somewhat overwhelmed by the massive Neoclassical architecture of the Borgo Teresiano – named after the Empress Maria Theresa (1740–80), who poured money into the city. This was Trieste's golden age, as the Austrians spared no expense on embellishing what was to become the Habsburg Empire's only seaport. For a time, it even eclipsed Venice, but its heyday was short-lived and drew to an ignominious close after 1918, when the city was annexed to Italy. A grim period ensued under Mussolini as he rode roughshod over ethnic diversity.
Lying on the political and ethnic fault-line between the Latin and Slavic worlds, Trieste has long been a city of political turbulence. In the nineteenth century it was a hotbed of irredentismo – an Italian nationalist movement to "redeem" the Austrian lands of Trieste, Istria and Trentino. After 1918, tensions increased between the city's ethnic groups, with Slovenes suffering persecution at the hands of the rising Fascist regime. Trieste was annexed by the Germans in 1943 and then at the end of the war, the city and surrounding area became a "Free Territory" administered by the Allies before being divided between Italy and Yugoslavia in 1954. Trieste was awarded to Italy but lost its coastal hinterland, Istria, to Yugoslavia. It was a bitter settlement and the definitive border settlement was not reached until 1975. As Tito kept Istria, huge numbers of its fearful Italian population abandoned the peninsula: Fiume (Rijeka), for example, lost 58,000 of its 60,000 Italians. The Slovene population of the area around Trieste, previously in the majority, suddenly found itself treated as second-class citizens, with Italians dominant politically and culturally. In the last sixty years, the Slovene and Italian populations have mixed and intermarried and, along with other newer arrivals, have made Trieste one of the more multicultural cities in Italy.Read More
Joyce in Trieste
Joyce in Trieste
From 1905 to 1915, and again in 1919–20, James Joyce and his wife Nora lived in Trieste. After staying at Piazza Ponterosso 3 for a month, they moved to the third-floor flat at Via San Nicolò 30. He supported himself by teaching English at the Berlitz school where his most famous pupil was the Italian writer Italo Svevo. While living here he wrote The Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and started work on Ulysses. He lived a somewhat peripatetic life and you can visit his many homes and old haunts by picking up the walking-tour guide from the tourist office. There's a plaque in Via San Nicolò, and one at Via Bramante 4, quoting the postcard Joyce despatched in 1915 to his brother Stanislaus, whose Irredentist sympathies had landed him in an Austrian internment camp. The postcard announced that the first chapter of Ulysses was finished. Don't miss the wry bronze statue of the writer, strolling bemusedly across the little canal bridge of Via Roma.
Trieste and the roasted bean
Trieste and the roasted bean
Trieste's love affair with coffee dates back to the mid-eighteenth century, when the port was given tax-free status by Habsburg Emperor Charles VI. The resultant boom in port trade coincided with the coffee craze hitting Europe, in particular Vienna, and coffee beans destined for Austrian cafés became one of Trieste's biggest imports. Even today it's the leading coffee port in the Mediterranean – forty percent of Italy's coffee arrives here – and Trieste's denizens imbibe twice as much on average as their fellow countrymen. One of the pleasures of walking around the city centre is the exotic scent of roasting beans emanating from choice establishments – known as torrefazioni – where experts toast beans to order. The city's most famous brand is Illy, founded in 1933 and producer of a world-renowned 100-percent Arabica blend. So supreme is the coffee culture in the city that Riccardo Illy, scion of the clan, has held the offices of mayor and regional president, among numerous other posts. Illy offers specialized courses in coffee appreciation at the Università del Caffè (w illy.com).
A word to the wise: coffee terminology in Trieste is a little different from other parts of Italy, and if you order a cappuccino you will end up with a caffè macchiato – instead you need to ask for a latte macchiato or a caffè latte.
