Upcoming Concerts
Musica Angelica begins it's 2014/15 Season with Chamber Music
Saturday, September 20, 8pm Neighborhood Church, Pasadena
Sunday, September 21, 3pm 1st Presbyterian Church, Santa Monica
Musica Angelica, Southern California's period instrument orchestra, is proud to announce a series of three programs of chamber music exploring The Grand Tour, the famed travel circuit established by young English gentlemen in the 18th century. Additionally, two orchestral programs will feature concertos by Vivaldi and Telemann and arias by Handel.
With this first concert, the music of France will be vividly brought to life along with fascinating snippets of the experiences of audiences in the Baroque era. The program includes François Couperin's masterful "Apothéose de Lully", depicting the great composer's arrival at Parnassus with gorgeous, elegant music and witty narration. Also included is Leclair's "Deuxiéme Recreation de Musique", an epic re-imagining of the classic French dance suite which includes one of the greatest chaconnes in the repertoire, as well as Marin Marais' whimsical, obsessive "Sonnerie". The concert will be led by Juilliard professor and longtime Musica Angelica favorite oboist Gonzalo X. Ruiz. Joining him will be flutist Stephen Schultz, violinists Cynthia Roberts and Tatiana Daubek, harpsichordist Ian Pritchard, and Beiliang Zhu on viola da gamba.

They make use of the experience of their parents and combine it with their know-how and modern techniques to create high-quality wines. To keep quality high they limit quantity by cutting back, thinning, and green harvesting. A careful handling of the grapes during harvesting is as necessary, along with a cool fermentation in the cellar.
The country of Austria is steadily growing in both wine production and quality. The rise in popularity can be partly attributed to the success of Grüner Veltliner, the most-planted grape of Austria.

A Conversation With
A Conversation about Sequencing Cancer Genomes with Dr. Elaine Mardis
Dr. Elaine Mardis is co-director of The Genome Center at Washington University in St. Louis. As director of technology development, she leads the center's efforts to explore progress in next-generation sequencing technologies. Dr. Mardis was part of the team that sequenced the genomes of two adults with leukemia, and she is now working on the Pediatric Cancer Genome Project, which is a partnership between Washington University and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
How many tumors does one need to sequence to get results that benefit patients?
I don't think anybody knows the answer to that question. While I'm hesitant to speculate on the number, I'm very hopeful, based on our own experience, that we'll be able to achieve some really significant findings in a short period of time. We've already found key mutations that are recurrent throughout acute myeloid leukemia, that have prognostic value, and that in the long term may turn out to be drug targets.
What happens after the sequencing?
Our sequencing activities will generate a list of clues, if you will. By clues, I mean key genes that are mutated in these tumors and germline (inherited) variations that likely play a role. We have to then take that set of clues and try to understand the implications of these mutations for the development of cancer. This work requires cell culture models, mouse models—all of those things are components of the research network and infrastructure that exist now at St. Jude.
I think it will be very exciting to work with that aspect of their operations and fill their pipelines, if you will, with all of these clues. This, in turn, will further our understanding of the basic impact of those mutations on cancer biology and the development of the disease. At the end of the day we need to have that infrastructure and expertise in place so that we can gain a better understanding of this disease, which is obviously what this is all about.
Do you have estimates for the costs of the sequencing?
It's possible to do an estimate right now today and then the number will actually change dramatically over the upcoming months. But I can give you a sense of what the trajectory has been and probably will be.
Back in '07 and '08 when we sequenced our first leukemia patient's genome, we completed the project for around $1.5 million. We were really doing two genomes, because we were comparing the DNA of tumor cells and normal cells. It was quite an expensive project, but this was the first time that had ever been done. We had to build a lot of the infrastructure and the informatics to analyze the sequence data from the ground up, and that's now in place. We now have a well-honed and, in many senses, an automated process for analyzing next-generation sequence data.
Our second tumor-normal genome comparison cost about $500,000, so already there was a dramatic drop in the price. That had to do with two things. We didn't have to spend as much time generating the data, because the ability to sequence on the instruments we were using increased. The other reason was that many of the bioinformatic programs were already in place to analyze the data.
If you jump forward to today, it now takes just two runs of the instrument to generate the information for the tumor sample and another two runs to generate the data for the normal sample. We're looking at a cost for that tumor-normal pair of about $90,000. So you can see a rather dramatic drop in cost in a reasonably truncated time frame, and the price keeps falling successively. So even though the St. Jude proposal specifies 600 tumor-normal pairs, it's quite likely that with the same amount of money in this collaboration we'll be able to do significantly more than that over the 3-year time period just because of that cost reduction.
Can you talk about your group's ability to manage and make sense of the data?
One of the forward-looking things that the dean of the medical school, Dr. Larry Shapiro, did about 3 years ago was to allow us to build a state-of-the-art data center. We have filled the space with around 6,000 computing cores and over 5 petabytes of data storage capability. So this infrastructure is in place along with bioinformatic programs to do data analysis, which were largely developed for our work on adult cancers.
The St. Jude opportunity builds upon this existing infrastructure and bioinformatic capability. Working closely with our collaborators at St. Jude, we now need to figure out which of the samples and which of the clinical questions in the near term will be most relevant to some of the weightier questions in pediatric cancer we'd like to explore. We will then get those samples up here and start on DNA sequencing.
How will you integrate the genomic and the clinical data?
All of the samples are from patients treated at St. Jude, and the samples come to us with extensive clinical records, so we know how the patients did, how they were treated, what the outcomes were. It is really invaluable to have that kind of rich clinical data available to us. And in many cases we will be dealing directly with the oncologists who acquired these samples and treated these patients. These oncologists, of course, have an intimate knowledge of the disease.
Once we have the data sets in hand and the preliminary analyses completed, this, in my mind, is where the enterprise succeeds or fails. The challenge will be to roll up our sleeves with those pediatric oncologists and begin to discuss what the data might mean—and how to interpret these results in the context of that clinical information. This project really involves building a strong collaborative relationship with those key players at St. Jude. We already have that with Dr. James Downing and some of his leukemia colleagues, and we'll continue to build that out as we look at the other major tumor types that occur in children.
What might you learn about normal genomes from this project?
For starters, I don't think that we know enough about normal genomes. In some ways, the beauty of sequencing the normal genome along with sequencing a tumor is that, over time, we accrue so much information about normal genomes and the variation that lies therein. In fact, we have an active effort in our existing cancer-sequencing program to build a database of normal genome variation. To look at the big picture, cancer, regardless of whether it is pediatric or adult, is an interplay between the mutations you are born with—your germline (inherited) mutations—and whatever happens downstream of that—your somatic (naturally occurring) mutations.
Now, in pediatric cancer this is a particularly interesting question. Obviously, adult cancers make more sense in that the disease happens to people who are older. Their bodies have experienced many cell divisions, and there have been many opportunities for mutations to creep in. But for children, that logic does not apply. So I think there is likely to be a story here looking at normal variation. We are very keen to generate lots of data on normal genome variants and see what we can come up with in terms of that interplay between the germline and the somatic mutations.

Hi All,
I'm just setting up a registration page, which seems to be working ok at the moment. However, i would like to add an email confirm field so that the two fields have to match before the form is submitted. I've attached the code i have below with the 'Email' and Emailconfirm' being to two fields that would need to match. Could someone supply me with either the code i need or where i could sort out the code.

There's no doubt the tragedy in Connecticut is having an impact on school children everywhere, including right here in central Virginia.
Schools must take extra steps to handle the many emotions children will face.
Area schools say they're ready to respond to students concerns. They're examining security measures currently in place.
Since the shooter shot his way into the elementary school in Connecticut, the grim reality is that it could happen anywhere at anytime.
A representative for Henrico County schools told NBC 12 that administrators asked school principals to work with students who are dealing with the tragedy. Also, administrators were asked to review all safety procedures with faculty to make sure schools are aware and able to follow them.
Chesterfield schools sent us this statement saying it understands the importance of timely and accurate communication when responding to staff and families.
Schools in Stafford County will have an extra police officer on hand, as security becomes an issue at the forefront of the minds of both students and parents.

If you can stick tape and use a paintbrush, you can make this! It reminds me of a paint by numbers kit - choose your two favourite colours and then using them in three shades paint the corresponding triangles. Super easy to make - you could even make a triptych using the three colours across your pics in varying shades of light to dark (i.e. pink for your first pic using shades of light pink for the first row, middle pink for the middle row and dark pink for the last row)

So you're not sure what to do with your 20′s?
Scared about life after high school or college?
Feel like you have more to offer the world, but not sure where to focus your attention?
Have you landed your "dream" job after college, but find yourself fantasizing about doing anything but?
Feeling depressed and anxious about your fast approaching 30′s?
Don't worry – welcome to life! To let you in on a secret, some people in their 60's still don't know what they're going to do when they grow up.
Now in my 30's I look back at my 20's as being the most amazing decade. Compared to other adult decades, the societal pressures are less and the opportunities greater. In your 20's you have a license to take risks – to explore yourself and the world.
After graduating university as 21 year old I set myself the personal goal to live and work in every continent of the world before I was 30. This saw me travel the world's seven continents for 8.5 years and work 32 jobs. My story was published by Australasia's largest independent publisher in my book, Hap Working the World and my award winning documentary, Bikes for Africa.
If you have any questions about how I can help you maximise living your 20′s then I'd love to chat.

Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrósio is yet another member of the Brazilian model army who rose to fame in the late '90s. She enrolled in modeling class at 12 after she got cosmetic surgery to pin the large ears she was insecure about back. (She suffered complications years later and has said it discouraged from ever getting plastic work done again.) Like countrywoman Adriana Lima, she signed with Elite, is best known for her work as an Angel for Victoria's Secret and consistently makes Forbes highest-earning models list. (She last clocked in at No. 6.) She was the first spokesmodel for the company's "PINK" line when it launched in 1999.

The Economist: Static or Dynamic Matters

We live in a dynamic world. Actions cause reactions. One change can set off a series of other shifts. Consequences ripple out. The economy is certainly no exception (which is why my forecasting model requires millions of equations).
The importance of a dynamic viewpoint also applies to the realm of public policy. Government spending and taxation lead to economic reactions. These reactions, in turn, affect taxes. This is true for government at all levels (federal, state, or local), and interactions among these layers of the public sector can sometimes work at cross purposes.
If the State of Texas spends taxpayer dollars to build a highway, for example, a number of companies will benefit from the related contracts. These companies then have to buy things (and pay sales tax on some of them) to complete the job. They also pay franchise taxes, fees, permits, and so on. The workers who get paid also go out and spend their wages (generating sales tax). Over time, some portion of the initial outlay is recovered through incremental taxes. Going even further, the presence of the road will make transportation more efficient and, thus, spur greater productivity and an ongoing dividend to government coffers.
If tax laws change, individuals and businesses also react. If federal income taxes are cut, for example, more money is left in the hands of families to spend as they please. This spending then leads to gains in business activity and therefore additional tax collections. The type of tax imposed or reduced is relevant, because responses naturally vary.
Dynamic tax revenue analysis is a complex task, but one which is certainly necessary to get a better understanding of the fallout from tax code changes. Although it is somewhat subject to political gaming (such as tweaking assumptions to minimize/maximize the consequences of a potential change and, thus, better support a partisan position), it is nonetheless an important tool for policy analysis.
The same dynamic process applies to government spending and cuts, but budget analysis often leaves little room for incorporating ripple effects. The issue is, to some extent, a very static and myopic view of the budget that does not reflect reality. If $1 million is cut from a program, it counts as $1 million toward balancing the budget. In reality, however, the consequences of that cut may cost taxpayers more than $1 million.
For example, cutting State funds for education or health care can cause higher local taxes, lost matching federal funds, higher insurance rates, lost productivity from a less qualified pool of workers, and/or foregone revenues from economic growth. Social costs can be even higher. It must be remembered that the taxpayers of Texas are the same people and firms who pay local taxes, purchase insurance and health care, and benefit from better schools at all levels.
Many cost-saving efforts involve substantial negative fallout and should be evaluated within a framework that reflects overall consequences. Such dynamic costs are not always measured in policy debates, but are nonetheless very real and can greatly affect future prosperity.
It is also important to consider how one level of government's action affects the others. A federal cost-saving measure can increase the burden on states or municipalities. A decision by the State of Texas likely affects cities and counties. In a perfect world, we could examine all of these relationships in order to get the highest benefit at the lowest cost; at a minimum, some thought must be given to the ripples.
At the federal level, we face upcoming elections and budget challenges. The fiscal situation the Texas Legislature will be dealing with in a few months will also not be easy. As we work through the difficult process of either raising revenue or cutting spending, the dynamic framework should always be kept in mind. Otherwise, short-sighted policy can lead to long-term problems.

Sen. John Cornyn isn't taking any chances with his re-election.
After ending July with roughly $6 million left in his campaign coffers, Cornyn, R-Texas, is putting several hundred thousand dollars behind his first television spot of the election, a Cornyn campaign aide confirmed.
The ad, which touts Cornyn's votes against Obamacare and his "Texas common sense," will air throughout Texas starting Monday.
"Our John Cornyn," a narrator says in the ad. "Conservative like you, like Texas."
The greatest re-election threat Cornyn would likely face would come from his right flank. During the government showdown, Cornyn remained relatively quiet about an effort to defund Obamacare by threatening a shutdown, which was led by his Texas colleague, Sen. Ted Cruz. Still, the Senate Conservatives Fund, last month called Cornyn a "turncoat," and Tea Party groups have threatened to challenge him in next year's Republican primary.
Cornyn's first ad of the mid-term election cycle, which defends his conservative credentials, shows he is wary of threats from the right — and ready to spend considerable money defending himself against them.

Awesome what one can do with a bit of imagination and some elbow grease :-)
Experimenting with the Jib
Over the last couple of days I've been working on a Jib which is a device for a camera that helps achieve high angled or low angled sweeping shots. Below is a preview of some of the shots I filmed using the Jib and also my Dolly. Everything was shot on my Canon 550d (will post more info on dolly and camera in a future blog). The jib is still in its early days of development, however it's still cool to see what you can do with something as simple as this. Check out the results:
Music by: http://www.myspace.com/devotchkamusic
Original concept design for the jib and dolly tracks on the floor
Updated design, version 2

Dismantled tripod stuck onto the pole
This jibs first outing and some awesome results

- casinoDined on 9/27/2014Service was excellent. My water glass was kept full and the food was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SurprisingJH2dineVIPDined on 9/13/2014Wonderful restaurant! Ranks up there with Vegas restarants in terms of presentation, service & taste. Surprising for being in the middle if nowhere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ServiceSammyDined on 9/12/2014Very Disappointed in the service you should not have to ask for water twice in this type of dinning. When you spending all most $200.00. The food was pretty good.Special Features:
- Special OccasionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014The experience was great. Presentation, taste, service and atmosphere were enjoyable. It is a great place to dine if you want fine dining. Pricey if you want just a regular type dinner. I will definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steaks too salty........TheHammerDined on 9/6/2014Server was new. When we told him both our steaks had too much salt on them or they were brined too long nothing was done about this. Either he didn't understand or couldn't hear what we said. Our bill for two was $145.00. The noise level is atrocious and the other guests were yelling at other diners who they knew. It was funny to us and we didn't care but other guests were irritated.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Birthday mealOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/6/2014As always had a great time at Final Cut. My fillet was perfect and the service was out of this world. Thanks
- AverageWinendine07Dined on 8/31/2014The ambience and service was great but if you've been to a NYC steakhouse before, it's not even comparable.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014Prices are very expensive for the amount of food provided. Food was good but not for the prices listedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A pleasant surpriseSandDDined on 8/24/2014A very pleasant surprise. The food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. The décor made the restaurant a very upscale experience. The wine an beer list was more than satisfactory, and a few house cocktails were different. The noise from the casino was insulated by the large glass panels and high walls. Easily a very good dining experience for special occasions or celebrations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Marvelous service Incredible SteaksStellaDined on 8/23/2014First "birthday celebration" date with my boyfriend. ..and I had to change the reservation time twice. Nan was so nice and friendly on the phone and also when we arrived. Emily, our excellent server, was beyond nice and very attentive. She was also very familiar with the menu and ingredients. 5 Stars for Emily! The food...perfect, delicious, tender, a truly deserving high cost meal. Bacon in / on all 3 courses...steaks marinated and grilled perfect...french onion soup favorite, followed by the creamed corn bacon side. We're already looking forward to the next reason to celebrate at Final Cut! Thank you Nan, Emily, Chef, and the hard working crew in the kitchen! You all made an amazing memory for us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SHESHEDined on 8/23/2014SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT FOOD WAS SUPERB WOULD HAVE STAYED LONGER AND ATE MORE IF IT HAD NOT BEEN SO COLDSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very nicethe21birthdaycrewDined on 8/17/2014Loved the room; not used to service being deliberate but Emily was excellent. Usually done eating in 1/2 hour so 2 hours was something differentSpecial Features:
- Outstanding serviceAnniversayguyDined on 8/17/2014We were early for our reservation but they accommodated us immediately. The service was outstanding. We both had the small filet and it was the best steak we have had since moving to Harrisburg a year ago.Special Features:
- Husband's Delight!JoeandHeather17099Dined on 8/15/2014Went to Hollywood Casino to have a night out with the wife, which are few and far between. We wanted a nice romantic, quiet, but classy dinner together. The waitress was top notch and the food was out of this world. We will go back to Final Cut every time we go to the casino. Worth every penny!Special Features:
- Great but smokey!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/15/2014Love this place, but the last time we were there...it was extremely smokey and we had to be moved. The food is excellent, but the casino really needs to investigate the possibility of going "smoke-free"!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- luv2dineDined on 8/9/2014the wine selection was very good and I had an opportunity to try to Kobe beef-- like sliced butter.Special Features:
- Foodharr2102Dined on 8/6/2014My pork chop was very dry and tough to cut. For the price, this should have been much better. Service was also slow for the amount of people in there.
- Great service.N3WXODined on 8/1/2014This was our 2nd visit. Service, again, was very friendly and helpful. Upon booking the reservation, I noted the reason to this visit and they do read the notes as they made this quite a surprise for my girlfriend. We'll be looking forward to our next visit.Special Features:
- Great eveningBeachnutVIPDined on 8/1/2014No better lobster around. Our server (Kyle) was exceptional, and the entire meal was a pleasant experience.Special Features:
- TastyHBGfoodie21Dined on 7/12/2014Visited Final Cut for my husbands birthday; it was our first time there; food was amazing - definitely get the house bacon app if you go! Friendly, attentive service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always great food!weasy24Dined on 7/12/2014We have eaten at this place a few times now and have never been disappointed. This is great for special occasions as it is a bit pricey, but worth it for a gourmet meal. I highly recommend the risotto, it was fantastic. You also get a selection of breads as well as an amuse and miniature dessert tart (a bite or two) after your meal for free. There is an extensive wine list and the cocktails are always wonderful. The restaurant has rounded booths that provide some privacy from other diners. The perfect ambiance for a romantic dinner.Special Features:
- Very nice.GreatDined on 7/10/2014Great food and atmosphere. Very friendly staff. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of this restaurant. Thank you very much!Special Features:
- Love this placecherylDined on 7/9/2014Excellent service I really want to say thank you to our sever Tom he was beyond amazing and the chef is to die for Nicholas jones it was amazing cant wait to dine there againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine DininghwfcDined on 7/6/2014I would recommend the food at the Final Cut to be a one of a kind experience. An experience you don't want to miss.Special Features:
- Not what it used to beFineDiningAddictDined on 7/5/2014Final Cut has a well deserved reputation for incredible and creative food choices. My wife and I have frequented this restaurant many times and have always enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, the initial 5 star experience has gradually diminished to 3+ stars in my mind over the past 1-2 years. We are not complainers and rarely write reviews. I write this hoping that the restaurant will pay more attention to detail to reclaim its historical 5 star status of the past. Don't get me wrong... this is still a great choice for a special night out.Special Features:
- great againOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/5/2014As always a fantastic meal and service at Final Cut. Matt was wonderful and usual.Special Features:
- Beautiful dinnerSuperbdinnerDined on 7/4/2014Outstanding service and the food was by far greatest part of the dinner worth every dollar. Lastly met my every need to celebrate my 5th wedding anniversary with my beautiful wife.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place to DineMadeTheCutDined on 6/28/2014As usual, the meal was excellent. The staff was great. Service was prompt for this kind of meal, but we didn't feel rushed. Both of us had filets and they were the best we've had there so far. The pricy sides were good, but we were kind surprised that they charged us $4.50 each to swap mashed for the baked potato. The mushroom were excellent, but the sauce was a little rich for my taste.Special Features:
- What a wonderful place...DonnaVIPDined on 6/21/2014Our visit to Hershey brought us to Final Cut. Excellent service and great food!Special Features:
- Pleasant surprise!JustacadDined on 6/21/2014Having had no input from friends or acquaintances, and no prior experience, we knew only that Final Cut was part of a chain of Hollywood Casino restaurants. Consequently, our expectations were somewhat low. (A visit to Emeril's at the Sands in Bethlehem, PA, proved to be most disappointing.) What a most delightful experience! The servers were attentive and engaging, but not intrusive. The Ahi Tuna appetizer feature was AMAZINGLY perfect--exactly as described and impeccably prepared (Grantville, PA is, after all, land-locked!). The arugula salad was delicious, with just the right amount of savory dressing and cheese morsels. The seven-ounce filet, prepared medium-rare, was EXQUISITE--flavorful beyond belief, and sooooo tender!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinner gemfriendoffoodDined on 6/20/2014We have dined here on several occasions and yet again were not disappointed. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. The wine list is very good and there is something to please everyone. The crabcakes are my wife's favorite and my steak was cooked just the way I like it. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable. We can't wait to return!Special Features:
- Food was excellent.QpidDined on 6/14/2014I had the South African Lobster tails which are hard to get these days. They were excellently prepared as were the sides. I substituted asparragus for the carrots for a $4.00 up charge. They served two tails which was a bit too much for food for me. I ate one and took the other home for later in the week. My wife had the Salmon which was also excellent. We shared the Chocolate Moose Cake for Dessert and it was well worth it. We are non drinkers but if you like wine, they have an excellent selection. Chef surprised us with a sampler appetizer of marscapone and raspberry as well as a sampler dessert of cheesecake torte. Both were tasty.Special Features:
- It was okPONYCHASER3300Dined on 6/7/2014Dinner was ok nothing special I thought it would compare to Ruth Chris's considering the prices but was way offSpecial Features:
- best filets aroundfiletsDined on 6/4/2014we had the best filets...again...at the final cut. each time we go, we get the filets and we are never disappointed. we have had the best filets we ever have had at the final cut...unmatched in any restaurant we have found. consistently the best!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent food; outstanding serviceRikaDined on 5/31/2014The menu has something for everyone and the food is cooked to perfection. The staff are exceptional and the service is second to none. Final Cut is our favorite restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding.N3WXODined on 5/31/2014Service was one of the best I've ever experienced. The staff was very friendly and helpful. And the food was beyond superb. You won't be disappointed. Kudos to all at the resturaunt. Great meal and service all the way through to the "final cut". We will be back again.Special Features:
- What a great eveningSquidDined on 5/24/2014The food was superb the staff was superb all from the hostess to the maître d' to the waitress and even the general manager what a great dining experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal!BeachnutVIPDined on 5/24/2014As always, we're happy with the service and the meal couldn't be better, but we have the same gripe about the bill. Our bill for 2 came close to $200 without tip (which we expected), but how can an upscale restaurant like this continue to charge extra for a potato substitution? Far less expensive restaurants will allow substitutions with no additional charge. We ordered mashed instead of marble potatoes and, once again, there was an additional charge for the substitution! Come on, unless your meals are plated beforehand & waiting to get ordered, why the charge? Same message to the restaurant privately each time, with no response.Special Features:
- Save Your MoneyOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 5/17/2014We arrived promptly for an 8:30 p.m. reservation for 2. We were met by the Hostess who informed us our table would not be ready for approximately 10 minutes. We came back in 10 minutes and had to wait an additional 10. The first thing that was notciced was that we had placemats, which was odd. Not only did we have placemats, but they were dirty and stained and off putting. We ordered our drinks and they were served in a reasonable amount of time. We then ordered our meals. I had a ribeye which had unfortunately a large piece of fat and grisle that was not chewable, the steak itself was seasoned well and cooked as requested. The entire meal was cold. I have a lot more to say but evidently reviews are extremely limited..DO NOT GO SAVE YOUR $!
- Galsreviewof final cutGalsbar01Dined on 5/17/2014This was the third time that we were at the casino for an event The same thing happened on the 17th of May. We went to the Final Cut for dinner. We were told it would be at least an hour and a half to two hours before a reservation would be available. We left and walked to our car. And just for the heck of it, I went online to Open table and imagine our surprise to find a reservation open in 20 minutes.! And so we walked all the way back to restaurant. Other than the lounge,the restaurant was totally empty. Almost made me feel like we were inconveniencing the staff. I understand the whole waitstaff to customer ratio but customer satisfaction needs to be implemented at the door .Special Features:

ELIZABETH, W.Va. (AP) - An operating levy in Wirt County that's twice been rejected by voters is going back on the ballot.
County officials have scheduled a special election for Feb. 23.
The levy generates more than $200,000 annually. Most of the revenue is used for employee salaries.
If the levy fails again, the county's budget would have to be cut 20% to 25%.
County Commissioner Charles Murray tells the Parkersburg News and Sentinel (http://bit.ly/Z4FhgN ) that the county's government is on the line. He says he believes voters will approve the levy when they realize how serious the situation is.
A 60% majority vote is required for passage.
Wirt County is the only county in the state that has an operating levy.

5 adorable piglets who are so much more than bacon »
Julia and her piglets! Julia was super abused before she was rescued by Farm Sanctuary, at which point she gave birth to a boatload of adorable piglets!
The pig's sentience—its status as a non-object capable of suffering—morally trumps my desire to eat a BLT, no matter how much pleasure it gives. No life is worth a sandwich I don't need.
-James McWilliams for the Atlantic
The mere mention of bacon makes most meat-eaters giggle with glee. It's basically the pinnacle of American gluttony, decadence, and indifference. It's not just a food, bacon has become a punchline, yucking it up on Tshirts and memes across the country. Meanwhile, pigs, who are not only smarter than your dog but also emotionally complex, are suffering relentless anguish.
According to the National Pork Producers Council, the numbers are reproachful:
Today there are more than 67,000 pork operations compared with nearly 3 million in the 1950s. Farms have grown in size; 53 percent of them now produce 5,000 or more pigs per year. Nearly 21 billion pounds of pork were processed from about 110 million hogs in 2011. A total of 2.3 million metric tons of pork valued at more than $6.3 billion was exported in 2012.
If I can translate that for you: a hundred million pigs are killed a year, and the factory farm industry is booming. That means gestation crates, pollution, disease, and cruelty.
I know people like the taste of bacon. That's not a justification for the suffering it causes. Maybe human babies taste great, that's not a good reason to eat human babies. The "but it tastes good" argument is nothing short of vapid and shallow. You're choosing sensory pleasure over morals. When is that ever the right way to make decisions?
In conclusion, here are 5 adorable piglets who were rescued from certain death and suffering. These are living beings who deserve more than being someones lunch. Take it away, cutie pies!
1. Leon Trotsky
Kicking us off is Leon Trotsky from Edgar's Mission! Leon was injured at a farm and therefore "useless." Thankfully, a kind person got Leon to the safety of Edgar's Mission where he was fitted for his very own training wheels.
2. Edgar
This is Edgar! He's one of those fell-off-the-truck rescue stories. Now he lives at Snooters Farm Sanctuary!
3. Marigold
Here we have Marigold from Animal Place! She's playing in the straw like a total goofball! Her exact history is unknown, she was found roaming the streets in Sacramento, but they guess she was probably purchased from an auction for backyard slaughter. Not dice!
4. Stanley
Hello, Stanley! Stanley is all growed up now but this is him getting some belly rubs as a baby. He's another escapee found running up and down a busy road. Now he lives happily at the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary!
5. Eric
And of course, we close out with wee Eric from Farm Sanctuary! Eric was left to suffer with a leg injury because the medical attention he needed would cost more than the farmer thought he was worth. We think Eric is worth a gagillion dollars and all piglets are worthy of a happy life without pain!
All of these piglets were intended to be meat on someone's plate, but thanks to random events, they escaped their grim fate. But most pigs—billions of them—are not so lucky. The overwhelming majority of pigs are still suffering in deplorable conditions. What can you do? Click on any of the shelter links above and donate in the name of your favorite piglet. More ideas?

A great new book has been released from Microsoft Press that covers Orchestrator and the creation of Runbooks very well. As a support professional I found the book to be informative from an architectural perspective, and full of great examples to get started.
From the posting on the Orchestrator TechNet blog site:
"We're very excited to announce a free ebook offering from Microsoft Press: Microsoft System Center: Designing Orchestrator Runbooks (ISBN 9780735682986) by David Ziembicki, Aaron Cushner, Andreas Rynes and the System Center series editor, Mitch Tulloch. This is the first in a series of unique (and free) ebooks that bring System Center experts together to discuss designing, deploying, and troubleshooting some of the most complex and mission critical aspects of key System Center capabilities."
… and
"Our objective with this book is to provide a framework for runbook design and IT process automation to help you get the most out of System Center Orchestrator 2012 and to help you utilize Orchestrator in concert with the rest of the System Center for an enterprise-wide and systematic approach to process automation."

An Upstate family is honoring their son, who is joining the Army, with a unique display in their front yard.
The Kellett Family's son, Samuel, will report to basic training on Monday.
Samuel Kellett's proud father, Dan, mowed the words "WE LOVE U SAM" and "GO ARMY" into his lawn on Chicoma Drive in Townville.
Dan Kellett told FOX Carolina he wanted to share his son's determination to serve his country with the entire community.
"People can't believe I did this to the yard. You know, now, this is my joy now. My pride now," Dan Kellett said.
Samuel Kellett said he was shocked because his father loves his lawn. He joked, "He loves his yard almost as much as he loves me!"
Samuel Kellett will spend 66 days in basic training at Fort Jackson.
