Review: 2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2013.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Mercedes' new flagship S-Class sedan becomes more adventuresome.
The 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 flagship sedan is one of the most technologically advanced luxury cars, with adventuresome but controversial styling never found on its predecessors.
So what's with the styling, which highlights items such as rakish, heavily flare wheel arches? Well, being a German automaker, Mercedes doesn't put extraneous items on cars; the flares are there to accommodate the S550's huge tires.
But Mercedes knows that Lexus and other rivals will be introducing more rakish looking autos and wants its S550 and companion S-Class models to be competitive years from now.
New Direction
The new Mercedes also has a larger, more impressive grille and a bolder, sleeker profile. Mercedes spokesman Rob Moran said the new car has "done well in consumer clinics." It looks as imposing as the old large, conservatively styled S-Class cars, which were developed by Mercedes engineers, with no marketing department interference.
Grand Tradition
The V12 model seems superfluous because the S550's new-generation 382-horsepower V8 is so smooth it can't be heard when it's idling and provides vivid acceleration (0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds) despite the car's size and 4,270-pound weight. But then, the rival BMW 7-Series sedan is offered with a V12, and Mercedes can't take a back seat to competitors.
The entirely new $85,400 S-Class is about 1 1/2 inches longer, a half inch wider and about an inch taller than its predecessor. While larger, roomier and more powerful, Mercedes says it's about $2,500 less expensive on an equipment-adjusted basis.
Futuristic Features
One such feature new is the Distronic Plus, which allows the Mercedes to virtually drive itself—something no other auto can do.
Distronic Plus not only automatically keeps the S550 a safe distance from the car ahead during highway driving, it also lets you drive a pre-set distance from the vehicle ahead in stop-and-go traffic—without using your feet.
The car accelerates, slows and brakes by itself—to a complete stop if necessary while following the vehicle ahead. It then automatically picks up speed again after a full stop if you tap the accelerator pedal or a control stalk. (Mercedes feared some drivers would be alarmed if the S550 picked up speed by itself after a total stop without some driver input.)
Easy Parallel Parking
That feature makes parallel parking (not even taught anymore in some high school driving courses) easy for most folks for the first time in history. However, it really must be used a few times to fully trust it and not be concerned about scratching expensive paint.
Side bolsters in the large front heated and cooled seats quickly and silently move over to better hold you in place during cornering, then move back to their regular positions. It's as if a giant hand gently kept you in place.
Safer Night Driving
The S550 V8 works with a 7-speed automatic transmission, which enhances acceleration and fuel economy while providing seamless shifting.
Unlike most luxury car transmissions, which usually have five or six speeds, the S550 automatic can skip up to three gear ratios if necessary when it downshifts, moving directly from seventh to fifth gear, or even from sixth to second gear. The transmission has a manual shift feature, but it hardly seems necessary to use it.
Estimated fuel economy is 16 mpg in the city and 24 on highways.
Sumptuous Interior
The trunk is large, with a moderately high opening.
The small steering-column-mounted "Direct Select" shift lever is pushed down to put the transmission in neutral or drive modes and lifted up a bit for reverse. A button is pushed on the end of the lever to get park mode. It's simple to use and frees up the console area by eliminating a conventional, much larger shifter. But the lever must be moved precisely, or you'll end up in the wrong gear.
Window Switch Problem
Using Mercedes' Command system involves twisting a console mounted controller and following menus on a dashboard screen to do such things as adjust radio stations, climate conditions and seat positions. It's among the easiest such systems to use, and there's a row of buttons near the dashboard if you don't want to bother with the system to adjust, say, the automatic climate control.
The S550 naturally is loaded with standard equipment, including a killer 14-speaker Harman/Kardon surround-sound audio system, which took five years to develop for Mercedes. However, there also are attractive, pricey options that may be hard to turn down.
Satisfying to Drive
The S550 is a welcome return to the grand old Mercedes S-Class models, despite its bold styling and futuristic features. It makes you feel fairly affluent just sitting in it, and even more affluent when behind the wheel.

The state of Illinois is getting involved in a special program to help our nation's heroes get jobs. Award-winning actor Gary Sinise came to Chicago Wednesday to support Get Skills to Work.
Sinise joined Governor Quinn, corporate managers from General Electric and representatives from the nonprofit to announce an initiative to help veterans acquire new job skills or match their existing skills and match them to job openings.
Those objectives are two of the biggest problems facing vets when it comes to finding work after serving the country.
Sinise became a household name after playing Lieutenant Dan in the critically-acclaimed film "Forest Gump" opposite Tom Hanks. He has been a huge advocate of putting veterans back to work, especially those who have fought in the Gulf War, the Iraq War and served in Afghanistan.
"It's an initiative led by G.E. to help match qualified veterans to open jobs in advanced manufacturing," Sinise said in a PSA for Gets Skills to Work. "A coalition of dedicated partners does this by making the hiring process easier for both veterans looking for civilian positions and employers looking for skilled talent."
He said whether you're a company looking to hire the best and the brightest or a veteran interested in advanced manufacturing, Get Skills to Work can help both sides connect and get jobs to America's heroes.

Generation X - RC Logger X2
The 4th generation of the RC Logger Camera Series, following in the footsteps of its predecessors, the HD, HD2 and PRO, continues to revolutionize aerial image recording, in both, still and video capturing mode. The combination of outstanding and uncompromised image performance along with unique control features and innovation will redefine your FPV experience. An integrated Gyro-, GPS- sensor and the micro motor controlled rotating camera head provide the basis for breathtaking image recording experience. Surprise your audience and yourself with added firmware enhancements including burst capturing mode, time-lapse image capturing or simply the ability to take still image photo shots while recording video.
Analog plus Digital Video and Audio Outputs
The RC Logger X2 features a digital video and audio output functionality via an integrated HDMI port additionally to the standard analog A/V-Out port allowing transfer of audio and video data directly to other media devices such as personal computers, wireless signal transmitters or TV monitors.
Motorized 2-Axis Moving Head
The X2 also features a motorized 2-axis rotating camera head keeps the camera right on target, leveled horizontally or at a fixed angle. Simply install the "IMU Add-On Module" (available optionally) to have the head stabilized fully automatically.
Crystal Clear Dual Active Image Stabilization
An integrated Gyro actively corrects against onboard vibration, allowing digital processing of image data before saving the data onto the "microSD" card. This requires less or little optimization efforts while positioning the X2 on your model plane, helicopter, multi rotor or drone.
Get the full view – 140 degrees ultra wide angle
The motorized camera head is equipped with 140 degrees optical lens for maximum image capturing area, delivering amazing aerial shots recorded at incredible 11 mega pixels.
Exceptional 120 frames per second and Full-HD capabilities
While the RC Logger PRO captures images at 30 frames per second, the X2 allows frame rates of up to 120 frames for slow motion play back of those amazing moments during flight.
Convenience meets innovation
Features you may only expect from professional cameras such as an integrated photo burst mode, the integrated GPS sensor or the possibility to directly connect RC Logger's 2.4 GHz data transmission module. The X2 delivers the possibility to take single still photos while recording video. Just like the previous versions, the X2 provides support for time-lapse recording, synchronized video and data logging capability as well as a lightweight, yet robust ABS housing with soft rubber coating.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH - Walmart and McDonald's are already there and now more commercial development is planned for State Road 44 and I-95.
The original plans for 184-acres called Ocean Gate, known as the Snowden property because it has been in that family since the 1940s, had included commercial and industrial, said James S. Morris, attorney for the Snowdens.
Now industrial has been eliminated and commercial and retail uses are in the plans for the development in the southwest quadrant of the I-95/S.R. 44 interchange.
Mr. Morris spoke at last week's Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to request rezoning to a Planned Unit Development to include a Master Development Agreement and Conceptual Development Plan.
The property is vacant.
New Smyrna Beach resident Randy Herman said he is concerned that the S.R. 44 access to the city may begin to look like a strip mall.
Planning manager Gail Henrikson said the city is working with the state Department of Transportation on a traffic study, including a frontage road.
"We don't want a bunch of driveway cuts off a six-lane road," she said.
She also said updates will need to be made to the traffic impact analysis that was done earlier.
Mr. Morris said the Snowdens are talking to retailers and other businesses, but nothing is finalized.
The Master Development Agreement would allow the properties to have a mix of non-residential uses. Primary access would be from S.R.44.
The city's planning staff decided to ask the Planning and Zoning Board to recommend that the City Commission approve the rezoning, the Master Development Agreement and the conceptual Development Plan with certain conditions.
The Planning and Zoning Board vote was unanimous.
The conditions include revisions to the Traffic Impact Study before the plans can go before the city Commission, Ms. Hendrikson said.

American-style wheat beers, while refreshing, tend to be boring. Largely stripped of the clove and banana in German hefeweizens, or the vanilla and orange of a Belgian witbier, the typical American wheat ale is little more than wheat bread in a bottle. Odell's Easy Street Wheat, however, proves that the style is still worth imbibing. The aroma has light floral and citrus notes over sweet-smelling wheat and barley. There's a mild sugar-cookie taste along with spicy bread dough.
Staff tasters say: "Smooth and light, but not too light."

BMW i—Born Electric
The new BMW sub-brand focused on developing sustainable mobility solutions has been launched. "BMW i represents a new movement in premium mobility. The products and services have been conceived around a revolutionary approach: purpose designed and purpose built for sustainable, premium mobility. It's a new day in our industry; a new era for individual mobility. This is BMW i—Born Electric," said Ian Robertson, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Sales and Marketing, in Munich on Monday.
Two models will be launched under the new sub-brand from 2013—the BMW i3 and BMW i8. The BMW Group will also significantly expand its range of mobility services over the years ahead. To achieve this, a Venture Capital company was founded in New York City, BMW i Ventures, with an investment totalling up to 100 million US dollars.
"The BMW i brand comprises vehicles and services developed since 2007 as part of project i, a BMW Group think tank exploring sustainable mobility solutions. It is the BMW Group's response to changing customer needs, including increasing demand for alternative drive trains, such as electric drive systems and hybrids. With BMW i, we are building on the success and strength of our core brand," emphasised Robertson. The BMW i3—previously known as the Megacity Vehicle—will be the BMW Group's first series-produced car for urban areas to be driven by electric power alone. The BMW i8, meanwhile, is based on the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept study. Its plug-in hybrid drive blends the sporting ability of a high-performance machine with the fuel consumption and emissions of a small car.
Both models are based on a revolutionary construction concept known as LifeDrive architecture. An aluminium chassis houses the powertrain, and the passenger cell consists of high-strength but extremely lightweight carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP).
An additional range of mobility services—which can also be used independently of the cars—will be an integral component of BMW i. The focus is on solutions which will improve usage of existing parking spaces, as well as intelligent navigation systems.

We can't wait to spend some wonderful warm nights hanging out in the lot. Stay tuned for exciting upcoming events and happenings at design.plot! Be sure to follow design.plot on Facebook to get updates: https://www.facebook.com/DomesticConstructionDesignPlot
As most of you know, Domestic Construction that has our own 3700 square foot outdoor garden in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. We have hosted a number of successful pop-up shops and events, including a season-long farm store last summer that was very popular. We are interested in once again partnering with local vendors who want to rent a temporary location to sell their products/food. Our garden offers a beautiful space for people to come shop, eat, and hang out.
Domestic Construction is looking for interns! We are a multidisciplinary art and design studio, specializing in large-scale art installations, event design, set design, custom interior design, and more. Check out our website www.domestic-construction.com to become familiar with our work.
We are looking for interns who are well-rounded and willing to get their hands dirty! Every day at our studio is different and our interns will be responsible for:
• sourcing materials
• creating and building props for events and installations
• helping in our garden
• organizing our studio
• administrative duties
• assisting with set-up and breakdown of events
We need interns who are energetic, self-motivated, detail-oriented, and willing to learn. A good sense of humor and the ability to work well with others is important. Candidates with experience in carpentry, fine arts, and graphic design are preferred.
We need people who can commit to at least one full day a week. We will pay for your transportation and lunch, and we are happy to fill out any paperwork for school credit.
Send us a thoughtful email to firstname.lastname@example.com (please do not email our studio directly or call us). Be sure to tell us why you're interested in working for Domestic Construction, why you think you'd make a great addition to our team, and what you're hoping to get out of your internship. Include your cover letter in the body of the email, and attach your resume. Let us know what days/times you'd be available.
Thank you!

Exciting news! We're teaming up with Withers & Grain to design a new restaurant in the Lower East Side! We can't wait to share our progress as we get started on this amazing project. Today we're busy in our studio designing a custom wallpaper exclusively for the restaurant.
With the end of the world rapidly approaching (on December 21!), we prepared by creating a replica of the Chichen Itza. We think the Mayans would be proud!
The temple was actually used as a prop for the Happy Hearts Fund "Land of Dreams: Mexico" event last week. We also created a jungle with an Olmec head, a replica of the underwater museum in Cancun, a Mexican classroom, and a replica of the Soumaya Museum. It was an incredible event, and we'll be posting more photos soon!
December at Domestic Construction is really off to a great start! Daily Candy included our mats in their Girls Gift Guide for the holidays! Check it out here: http://www.dailycandy.com/new-york/article/138968/2012-Girls-Gift-Guide
We're a fan of Lena Dunham's show "Girls," and apparently Lena is a fan of our mats! A while back we saw on her Instagram that she owned our "Burst" mat, and we recently found out she owns "Day Tripper" as well! Awesome!
Do you own one of our mats? Send us a picture of it in your house or apartment too! We'd love to see how you use our mats to decorate your space.
Shop for mats here: http://domesticconstruction.bigcartel.com/
We've been busy making some alpacas for the Greenpointers 2nd Annual Holiday Market! The market will feature gifts, art, crafts, and food from local Greenpoint and Brooklyn makers. It'll be held on Saturday, December 8 from noon-6pm at From The Source (69 West St, Greenpoint Brooklyn).
We hope to see you there!

Soy for Menopause Symptoms
Topic Overview
Soy is high in isoflavones. Isoflavones are a type of phytoestrogen. Phytoestrogens are chemicals found in plants that work like estrogens. In some ways, the human body can use them like estrogens.1
Are soy isoflavones effective?
Osteoporosis. Eating lots of soy may help keep your bones strong, especially in the first 10 years after menopause.2 (This is when your estrogen level drops and rapid bone loss happens.)
Menopause symptoms. Soy products may improve menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes. This is based on mixed evidence. So far, studies have used many different soy sources and different measures of success, which are hard for experts to compare. Soy isoflavone (rather than soy protein) studies have shown the most promise for hot flash treatment.3
Are soy isoflavones safe?
Eating and drinking soy on a daily basis has no known risks. For some people, it upsets the digestive system.
The long-term effects of diet high in soy have not been well-studied.3 High soy intake can't be considered safe until more research is done.4, 1
Some experts think that soy phytoestrogen does not lead to cancer like estrogen can. But this has not been proven. Experts do not yet know if a high-soy diet is a risk for women who have had breast cancer.3
Making soy a part of your daily diet
Isoflavones are short-acting. If you use soy for health reasons, try to eat it throughout the day, rather than all at once. Try to eat 40 mg to 80 mg of isoflavones each day.5, 1
Remember that soy protein is different than soy isoflavone. A high-protein soy food may or may not have a large amount of isoflavones in it.
Soy comes in many forms, so you have a lot of choices for adding soy isoflavones to your diet.

Not in the good looking sense, of course.
But in the playing good at the baseball sense, he is killing it right now. (Not only that but he also pairs well with Cold Mountain Creek.) He currently has 9 homeruns in 39 games (compared with 12 in 115 last year) and is really starting to heat up at a time when the Brewers could really use him.
Nobody can be sure as to why this is. You can attribute it to his new contacts, not swinging at the outside slider, the Insanity Workout, luck, working with Dale Sveum more or the inspiration he gained from watching The Blind Side. His numbers don't tell a story of a wholly different player, so you just can't know for sure what it is.
Luckily, I have a theory. The reason for Corey Hart's improvement thus far this season is simple, Jim Edmonds is a Brewer.
Corey Hart has been considered to be one of the Brewers building blocks for years now. In the minor leagues, he was never in danger of not starting and ever since his arrival in Milwaukee the same has been true. The Brewers have simply never had another option.
In 2008 he should have been benched in September (or at least given some rest), but he wasn't. After Kapler got hurt there was no one else.
In 2009 he was given every opportunity to play until an appendix ended his season.
Now in 2010, for the first time since joining the Brewers, he had a threat to his job and he didn't like it.
The Brewers lost a little bit of faith in him and signed someone to platoon with him. The writing was on the wall. Perform or you will not be a Brewers in 2011. We can easily sign people for less to do your job. Stop getting stupid tattoos. He didn't realize it and it wasn't until a poor showing in spring training led to him not being the Opening Day starter that he figured it out and it burned at him.
"That was stupid, Spring Training doesn't matter, but they decided it mattered this year for some reason," Hart said of his preseason slump. "I'm just working to try to turn their minds around. Hopefully I can keep playing well so I can stay in the lineup.
It didn't make sense to him. Why is Jim Edmonds, a guy who didn't even play last season, taking my job? He's like 50! I'm not that bad against righties. And he's like 50! Faced with not playing every day, Corey Hart had to do something that he hasn't always done in his career. He had to work hard. He had to meet with Dale Sveum and work on his swing. He had to watch video. He had to focus, everyday. He had to work harder than he's ever worked before.
Corey Hart basically admits that he didn't work hard enough when he says that he should have gotten glasses before and this isn't meant to be a knock on Corey Hart. Not everyone can be crazily obsessed with being the best like Ryan Braun. Some of us (yes, us) just aren't built that way. So many times in sports with a younger player you find yourself waiting for them to figure it out, waiting for the switch to flip and Corey Hart is one of those guys that you thought would never "get it". Is this it? Maybe. Maybe this is what we've been waiting for and Corey Hart is finally living up to his tremendous potential. Maybe Jim Edmonds is just what Corey Hart needed to finally be what Doug Melvin, the Brewers brass and all the fans want him to be. Maybe.
Or maybe he's just having a hot streak.

How Do You Welcome Guests Into Your Home?
November is Entertaining Month here on Re-Nest as we prepare for all the upcoming family dinners, holiday parties, and overnight guests. When I entertain, I always like to do a few extra special things for my guests: I make sure I have fresh flowers around the house, I put out my nicest hand towels, light beeswax tealights, and play some chill music on low. How do you welcome guests into your home? Or another question might be, what has a host/hostess ever done that made you feel extra special?
Don't have any ideas or rituals of your own? No worries—we've written a few posts across the Apartment Therapy network on making guests feel welcome:
• My House Is Your House: Making Guests Feel Welcome
• Small Space Solutions: Making Guests Feel Comfortable Without a Guest Room
• The Considerate House Guest

I like to tailor the decor based on what my guest(s) like. My late aunt was my role model. She would welcome us with "oh, I know you like (movies, snacks) so I bought some for us to enjoy this weekend".
I honestly feel most welcome when people don't go out of their way for me. Once, when friends of mine had just had their second child, I asked if I could bring over dinner and visit. When I got there, they apologized that things were so messy* and said something like, "Now you know you're in the inner circle." And I realized that sometimes the more we trust our friends to see the real us, not the prettied up version, the more welcomed into our homes they feel. (That said, I do try to keep my space clean and tidy for myself as much as anyone else, and I love little touches like fresh flowers and special chocolates on the pillow for overnight guests.)
*To be clear - their home was messier than usual but not actively dirty or gross.
I love impromptu guests and casual entertaining -- MUCH more fun than a party you have to plan for days in advance. We keep our place clean, and since we use our wedding china and silver for every meal (we don't have any other dishes or silverware), it's always polished and ready to use. I also have a stash of fun party favors (vintage swizzle sticks, etc.) and linens, so we're always happy to answer the door.

Discover Author
American author Stephen Crane began writing early in life, and was already a published author by the age of sixteen. Among Crane's best known works are Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, which is considered to be the first literary work in the early American tradition of Naturalism, a literary movement marked by detailed realism and the acknowledgement of social conditions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and The Red Badge of Courage, which was influenced by his own experiences in military school and personal contact with Civil-War veterans. Crane died in 1900 at the age twenty-eight of tuberculosis, but had a significant and lasting impact on twentieth-century literature, influencing early modernist writers such as Ernest Hemingway.

2005 Hyundai Elantra Review
She's a great little car. We expect a lot out of her & she delivers. Good comfort for myself and 3 kids. Great fuel economy.
Back seat not good for 2 car seats +1 child. Definitely not for tall/big people or anyone with knee conditions- getting in and out could be difficult.
Zippy! — I have been pleasantly surprised at the handling and performance of my mom-mobile. Weather we are loaded up for a long trip or zipping around town we get there quickly. I have driven lots of vehicles: sports/performance cars, wagons & minivans, a dual-axle pick-up, & econo cars. They all have their pros & cons but this is a happy medium!

Fun — It doesn't look fast, but it's 2.0L DOHC engine with 140 horses geared high on the 5-speed manual, and a car weigh-in of 2700 pounds, it's got potential, very fun. Great stock sound system. Plenty of room for three more friends. Great cargo. Great lighting. Will have many years of fun with this car.

Quick pick-up w/out A/C on, smooth handeling, great gas milage
Loss of pick-up when A/C is on
Highly Recommended For The Avg. College Kid Not Looking For A Sports Car — This is a great little car for anyone who just wants to go places.. It has nice pick-up, smooth handling, and has pretty good gas mileage. AVG MPG is around 26 in the city and close to 34 on the highways. I own the manual, which is a lot of fun. The clutch is really smooth and the control is excellent. The only major downside is that there is a great loss of horsepower once the A/C is turned on.. makes the acceleration slow down a lot from a stand-still.

- White Oak KitchenislandgirlDined on 8/20/2014Have been recommending White Oak Kitchen to people for at least two years. This latest visit did not disappoint. Staff is conscientious and knows the menu. Food is innovative, nicely presented, and a treat to the palate.Special Features:
- First VisitdinnerdateDined on 8/16/2014The service is impeccable, with a great deal of class. We received our courses slightly out of order, however, the waiter was quick to respond and make up for this. Thoroughly enjoyable atmosphere for a nice dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good...but not for a romantic eveNormDined on 8/15/2014Took my wife here for her birthday. Never been, but most reviews are good. The food was pretty good, the service was awesome. It isn't what I would characterize as a romantic setting though. Probably more suited for small groups or couples with friends than a romantic evening with your someone special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrificcmp56Dined on 8/15/2014The food was amazing, order the drink Rose Colored Glasses it is heavenly. The wait staff was by far Top Notch, very attentive and eager to assist. From the hostess to the busy boy.Special Features:
- Service needs help!LeretDined on 8/14/20144 ladies went for Downtown Atlanta restaurant week. Was a bit of a challenge to see the valet. Need to explain that better on website. Sat on the bar and had lovely cocktails. Great selection of all adult beverages. Seated for dinner and service was a bit slow. We had so many servers we did not know who our actual server was...salad, dinner and dessert stretched on for two hours. Timing between courses needs to be worked on. I would try again. Good cocktails and food was excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A bit disappointedTuckerTwoVIPDined on 8/12/2014This place is very convenient to my office downtown and we'd love to see it do well, but we were disappointed by the service on our recent visit. The food was good, but the service was lacking and really detracted from what might otherwise have been a good experience. We'd also like to see the patio made available for all diners, not just those ordering drinks and small plates. The noise level inside makes it difficult to carry on a conversation when the restaurant is busy.
- kenqDined on 8/11/2014nice little downtown restaurant for a very good meal.Special Features:
- Great food - great findMarkVIPDined on 8/10/2014White oak was amazing. We stumbled across this restaurant and are glad we did. The food is inventive and unbelievably good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- hal1Dined on 8/9/2014we eat out quite often, and had never been there. the space was great, and everyone was very polite and friendly and the food was very good. we will for sure go backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Rainy Night OutBOOODined on 8/9/2014Saturday Night we were heading downtown when the bottom opened up. And we forgot an umbrella! But everything was great service was okay, but that because our waiter got stuck with a table of ten. Food was great! My wife got the roasted chicken and I enjoyed the pork shank! Highly recommend!Special Features:
- Less than usual standardPantherWreckDined on 8/9/2014Perhaps this was a function of prior good visits, but we were, frankly, disappointed in the service. The food was, as usual, excellent. What wasn't was the running out of ingredients to prepare on menu cocktails, poor timing between the arrival of food and wine pairings with the restaurant week menu, giving me the willies by touching my glass with the refill pitcher on water - more than twice. No visit from a manager to ask about our experience was the final problem here and I'm not going out of my way to complain. I was ready to alert you to these issues if you would ask. Perhaps surprisingly, I would recommend a visit, but with the above reservations in mind. This was my 4th time visiting WOKC and 3rd for dinner.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!cmacDined on 8/7/2014Everytime we have gone here afterna market event we have throughly enjoyed it.Special Features:
- So tasty!Love2TravelDined on 7/31/2014We have visited other high end southern food restaurants in the Atlanta area and this one gives the rest a run for their money. Tasty, great portions, and fit for foodies seeking a modern twist to much loved comfort foods. Loved it!Special Features:
- Great Gemwuts4dinnerDined on 7/30/2014Was a great atmosphere with tasteful, unique combinations with a southern flair. Good service and the Southern Dip is especially tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everyone's missing out!ToovlvDined on 7/25/2014My wife and I were in downtown for a weekend and made a reservation here because it was near our hotel. It was amazing! The drink menu is unique and great with a mix of classics as well as drinks with their own touch. We ordered appetizers, salad, and entrees and each part of the meal just kept getting better. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Atlanta. I just can't figure out why it's not completely packed with people!Special Features:
- Perfect Business Lunch SpotDowntownFoodieDined on 7/16/2014Hello, I work in this area and continue to go back to White Oak Kitchen for business lunches - the service is great, the food interesting (always with a nice selection of specials) and I appreciate the fact that the tables are spaced far enough apart there is privacy with your conversations. I am also a big fan of the atmosphere and lighting - lots of nice bright natural light! Happy to have this gem located downtown.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Works Close ByAlwaysdowntownVIPDined on 7/14/2014The space and the food quality were exceptional. A wonderful experience and we will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- servicewgmgDined on 7/13/2014service from kitchen very slow but manager did remedy the situation wait staff was excellent!!Special Features:
- Awesome find!delawaregirlDined on 7/11/2014Our new favorite restaurant in Atlanta. Made me a bourbon drinker again - with the cherry infused Atlantan . Service, food and atmosphere just make for a great evening out on our twice yearly visits to the Gift Mart.Special Features:
- suzanneOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/10/2014One of my favorite go to Atlanta restaurants, service is great and food always delish. Love that the food is all local, farm fresh, organic, grass fed and healthy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing experienceRestaurantLoverVIPDined on 7/8/2014To summarize: Two people ordered Martini's. Took 15 minutes then only one arrived, then the other arrived 20 minutes later. The restaurant was sold out of sparkling water!? They were sold out of the special at 7:30 pm. They were not very busy but everything took a long time. No apology for the delays. Disappointing.
- Six Months Later, still a TreatBetsyDined on 7/6/2014We had gone to the White Oak in January and went back last night. Food was still Very Good. I would say this place is a great place for Foodies. They have changed the menu a bit but we still enjoyed it. Will be going back.Special Features:
- Perfect Friday Night!QueensKourtDined on 7/3/2014I recently visited White Oak for a simple dinner with a friend in town. The service was delightful. The hostesses were very kind & my server, Shawn, was more than courteous. He made sure that my meal was just the way I wanted it & had plenty of suggestions for options to choose from. I can't wait to visit again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not my favoriteFrequentdinerVIPDined on 6/30/2014Food was barely ok. Food lacked taste. Restaurant to expensive for what you get.Special Features:
- Great foodFOODisLIFEVIPDined on 6/29/2014I have been here twice and love the food. The tomato bisque is fantastic as is the roasted chicken. I tried the fried blueberry pie though and was not a fan. The filling was thin, bland and runny. It was an interesting idea but the filling could be executed better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love it!FOODisLIFEVIPDined on 6/27/2014This is a beautiful restaurant and the staff help bring it to life by laying in the southern charm. I had the honey fried chicken which had great crispy skin but was still juicy on the inside. I had the cheese grits with mine instead of the garlic and they were perfect. I like my grits on the thicker side and that is exactly how they are served. The pickled cabbage gave a nice contrast to the sweetness of the dish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MixedFreqATLdinerDined on 6/26/2014While I loved the decor and the service wasn't bad, the food left a bad taste in my mouth. Everything at the restUrant itself was ok, the after effects the next day left something to be desired. I wasn't the only one in my party with these effects. I don't know that I can risk attempting eating there again but would love to.Special Features:

*1 package of mini flat-breads (fresh from your grocers bakery) *1 ripe tomato *calamata olives *olive oil *fresh basil, chopped *1 fresh garlic clove *fresh mozzarella
1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Make sure you have an additional pan to catch the olive oil if you bake it directly on the rack. (Your kitchen will get awfully smoky if there are any oil drippings that have to burn off the bottom of the oven.)
2. Brush about a table spoon of olive oil around the flat-bread. Sprinkle on your minced garlic. Slice your fresh mozzarella thinly and arrange it evenly around the flat-bread. Next, slice and top with your tomatoes, olives and last but not least your fresh basil.
3. Salt and pop in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the edges brown and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
You can create this pizza with any topping of your choice. Don't like tomatoes? No problem. Try mushrooms and turkey bacon! The possibilities are endless.
It's almost Friday and Momorial Day weekend! Summer is finally here. What are you bringing to your backyard barbeques this weekend? Lime Peel Jello shots? Buffalo Chicken Wontons? What's your signature dish?

NOWNESS' Fashion Week Correspondent Stops Traffic to Recruit the Style Elite
Today's film follows Facehunter creator Yvan Rodic as he roams the streets of New York, bumps into Terry Richardson, and reveals the secret to catching his eye (play hard-to-get). The Swiss-born, London-based Rodic got his start five years ago snapping attendees at art openings in Paris. "I realized I had a collection of portraits and decided to post them online, as I thought there might be interest in real people," says Rodic. His trumpeting of authentic individuality quickly caught on with fashion enthusiasts across the globe, and his site helped to pioneer the street style genre as a blogging business. These days, Facehunter is a regular fixture at fashion week but Rodic also "hunts" in less expected locales such as São Paulo, Oslo and Reykjavik, photographing compelling strangers for his site and his weekly column in UK newspaper the Observer. "With street style you are a flâneur. You meet someone, create a connection, get a special shot and you are the only one," he says, adding, "Fashion week is like speed dating." For the fall 2011 RTW shows, Rodic will be shooting events for NOWNESS in each of the four fashion capitals. First up is New York, and tonight's launch of Johan Lindeberg's BLK DNM collection in SoHo; NOWNESS premieres the new brand's film tomorrow. To see photos from the event, check back here tomorrow and visit our gallery on Facebook.

Principal Components Analysis of Cointegrated Time Series
AbstractThis paper considers the analysis of cointegrated time series using principal components methods. These methods have the advantage of neither requiring the normalisation imposed by the triangular eror correction model, nor the specification of a finite order vector autoregression.

Video | World Tour :: Sparks (Demo)
I've always wanted to go on a World Tour, to venture through distant woods and valleys, and now with this spark lit, I feel like I just might go.
"We would like to show you some pictures, a few notes and some visions. "Sparks" is a story about dreaming, defying death and fighting the darkness. About the belief of beginning something new and a reliance on your origin. A demo roughly carved out and carefully thought out."

America's national pastime is gearing up for another season. Exhibition games have begun and player evaluations are underway. The "boys of summer" may be dealing with frigid temperatures in some regions of the country, but the enthusiasm they have for the game provides a layer of insulation that is difficult to penetrate.

Just about each week I enjoy a long talk with a long-time friend during which he catches me up with whatŌĆÖs going on in town and we reminisce about the good old days and, of course, conversate on how to fix whatŌĆÖs wrong with the world.
We met in high school, first because I was attracted to his sister, but she felt she could do a lot better (grin,) and of course ŌĆō she was right. But, our friendship was my introduction to the kids at Bauxite High School, who might as well as been from Mars before he and I started hanging out.

One topic that inevitable arises when baby boomers gather is how things were different when we were younger. Peppered throughout the conversation are the words "You can't let kids do that anymore." When my generation was younger, we played outside until it was way beyond dark. We came home from school and rode our bikes everywhere. We walked to town to buy candy at the Sterlings Store downtown. Every generation looks back. It's natural.
It's also a natural progression of society, unfortunately so.

My mother recently read me something she saw on Facebook. I believe it's worth sharing here in its entirety:
ŌĆ£Don't we all want a joy-filled life? Then let's get it. Life is too short not to, my friends. Strengthen up those struggle muscles (yes, we all have them) and get an emotional makeover. It is time to start clearing out the junk and stop tolerating the funk. You have done all you can do as long as you can, and it's time to give it all to God.
ŌĆ£How? Stand up ŌĆ" Kick the dirt ŌĆ" Breathe in ŌĆ" Pray ŌĆ"

On St. Patrick's Day, everyone is either Irish or an Irish wannabe. It's a time for parades, Irish dancing, parties and having fun.
As a Parnell (my maiden name), I can boast of Irish heritage and say unequivocally that I love all the traditions normally associated with St. Paddy's Day. (With one exception: I don't drink beer, green or otherwise, but I can sip on my Dr Pepper if someone else chooses to do so.)

There are signs of life in our economy, without a doubt. Unemployment is down, the stock market is riding an all-time high win streak, and the housing market is showing signs of sustained life. WeŌĆÖre in an energy boom, and every day we hear stories of a few manufacturing jobs returning to the U.S. It is an uptick, to be sure.
Chances are your cell phone(s) and cellular-connected tablet computers are being held hostage. No, the criminal doesnŌĆÖt have a gun or hide in shadows waiting to reach out and snatch it (them). Believe it or not, itŌĆÖs a so-called ŌĆ£public servantŌĆØ ( ha ha ha ha) paid with your tax dollars.
Just who is this vile person? Is it a member of Congress? No ŌĆ" funny how that was your first guess.
Believe it or not, itŌĆÖs the Librarian of Congress, James H. Billington, who has held the office since Sept. 14, 1987! He is the 13th person to hold this august title.

Spring break will soon be upon us. Schools will empty and many homes will do the same as the annual trek to warmer climates takes place. A popular destination for Saline Countians is Florida. The surf. The sand. The sun. Paradise.
Or is it?
This year, travelers may encounter what is described as an aggressive mosquito. The scientific name for this so-called monster is Psorophora ciliata, but often goes by the name "gallinippers."
When I referred to them as a group, it was by the moniker "The Magnificent Seven."
This wasn't a band of American gunmen hired to protect a small agricultural village in Mexico from a group of marauding Mexican bandits. Indeed they bore no resemblance to Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, and Horst Buchholz, who portrayed the mighty seven in the movie that was actually a western-style remake based on Akira Kurosawa's 1954 Japanese film "Seven Samurai."

Software that Rules Our World
Why Blogging Software Rules the World
Blogging is the cornerstone of the Internet. It has created opportunities for writers to find new audiences and it gives those audiences information, advice and entertainment. Because of the blogging phenomenon right now you can learn about net neutrality or you can read about the eerily accurate predictions made in the movie Demolition Man. It is also easy to get started in blogging (as long as you can write, of course) as most of the blogging software that is available is easy to set up and even easier to use.

Funeral services are set for an upstate New York Marine who was killed in Afghanistan last weekend.
Officials in the Saratoga County city of Mechanicville said that the body of Lance Cpl. Anthony Denier, 26, is scheduled to arrive at Albany International Airport late Monday morning. A procession will escort his body 15 miles north to his hometown, where his funeral will be held Tuesday morning at the American Legion post.
Afterward, Denier will be buried with full military honors at the Gerald Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery.
The Pentagon said Denier died Sunday after getting hit by enemy fire while conducting combat operations in Afghanistan's Helmand province. He was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 9th Marines, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force based at Camp Lejeune, N.C.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has ordered flags on state government buildings to be flown at half-staff on Monday, December 10, 2012, in Denier's honor.
"I join with my fellow New Yorkers in mourning the loss of Lance Cpl. Denier," Cuomo said. "I extend my deepest sympathy to his family, friends, and fellow Marines. We will honor his service and sacrifice, and we are grateful for his dedication to our nation."

The staff were excellent - really made an effort to connect, friendly ,knowledgeable and helpful. We had to change rooms and this was done efficiently and effortlessly. We had a ice bucket and our breakfast delivered to the room speedily. Cant fault them.
The dining area was very impersonal. It was obviously a function room with dancing floor. The food was good but would have been far more enjoyable in a purpose built restaurant. Service was fast and friendly.

I read your article about the problems of hazing as it relates to summer sports programs ("Out of bounds," Sept. 22) and felt a need to write. This summer, we completed the 53d season of the Red Auerbach Basketball School, of which I am the director.
The issue of hazing and bullying is something we discuss throughout the week of camp. Our lectures aren't always about basketball, but our coaches talk about family, friendships, academics and about making the right choices.
