A word from Sovana Bistro
Sovana Bistro has been a staple in the Unionville community since opening in 1998 and has evolved into a highly regarded dining destination. The menu is made up of two sections - our well known "staples" and our always changing "taste of the season". The kitchen creates simple hand-made food, inspired from many areas of the world and seeks to source ingredients that are available in their appropriate season.Continued
The service reflects a gracious approach to hospitality and genuine concern for each and every guest's experience.

- ShadowDined on 9/13/2014Have been to Sovano Bistro regularly since it opened. We always love the food...adn they were one of th epioneers of the seasonal and locally sourced food movement. Presentation and taste are always top notch. It is consistently good and yet surprises with seasonal menu changes and daily specials. Service is always very good too. We love to dine outside (covered and heat lamps so most of the year this is an oprion) where it is quieter...and the restaurant has always managed to honor that request. Love the byob option (and great list also).Special Features:
- Outstanding in Chester CountyFoodie55VIPDined on 9/11/2014Truly a great dining experience. Have lived in the area for 22 yrs & eaten at Sovana from time to time. It has only gotten better over the yrs. Food quality, presentation, service & wine list are all superb! Thanks for a great meal. We really enjoyed "restaurant week"!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good neighborhood optionPoppaSmurfVIPDined on 9/11/2014Really good food. Excellent suggestions throughout the $40 price fix menu. Why four stars? 1. The table was ridiculously small. I wise-cracked about it to the hostess, who left us where she put us. With a reservation, we were at the very back of the restaurant, across from the kitchen. Probably not the worst table in the place, but not by much. 2. The chef sent out a tasting which contains mushrooms. My wife is deathly allergic to mushrooms - no way for them to know, and it is Kennett Square - but might have asked before putting the plates on the table. Would dine here again, except 45 minutes from the house. Will save it for when I've run out of other ideas.Special Features:

- Nice placeKennettSquareResidentDined on 9/6/2014I really like the setting and the overall ambiance. It's elegant, yet casual. Service and food are really good. Dessert, however, was quite a disappointment. Too sweet. The three of us all had the same, and none of us could finish it.Special Features:
- 3 hits; one strikeout75pctgoodDined on 9/5/2014Four of us, - enjoyed drinks and dinners with one exception. the pork special was very small. At $26 it left a bad taste. Menu while tasty is pricey. Save for special occasions .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great mealSarraDined on 9/5/2014My wife and I went to Sovana Bistro to celebrate our 28th anniversary of meeting prior to falling in love and marrying. As part of the submission through OpenTable I indicated this and aside from the meal being wonderful as it always is, the (excellent and well trained as always) staff went above and beyond to make our meal special. Our desserts even came to the table with a lit candle and one was compliments of the house. It was a special night.Special Features:

- Worth the Trip...SerialDinersDined on 9/2/2014Innovative menu, reasonable prices (especially Fixed Prix offering) and good ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TimandDonnaDined on 8/31/2014Good food, wait staff a little young, patrons sit too close. Hard to have a private conversation. Took forever to get entree but waitress gave us free drinks without any comment from us. We figure this was unusual. We will come back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- the very bestbarbieDined on 8/31/2014Sovana is innovative and outstanding. Clearly the best restaurant. I haven't found one better worldwide. Sovana should be noted in all of the travel periodicals.Special Features:
- Not writing anymoreSteveWCDined on 8/31/2014I am out of the free review business. I found I lost all my points because I hadn't used your service in a year. You are damn near impossible to contact.Special Features:
- too loudMImisaysooolalafiaDined on 8/30/2014WE have enjoyed the Bistro many times but Saturday night in the room to the right of the entrance was way too loud and very unpleasant. And for the first time, I found the food to be mediocre. I had the clam bake pizza and it was just fair. Too salty and nothing special. The Bistro has always been special. The calamari were over fried and hard. My companions had the chicken which was dry and the small game bird special, which happily, he said was terrific. Not rushing back to the Bistro soon. Lunch may be the way to go. Wondering if the usual chef had the weekend off? Making some sort of adjustment to soften the noise level would be welcome.
- jimboyDined on 8/30/2014Tables are too close together for reasonable conversation with your party due to the noise level on a very busy night. It would be difficult to have a romantic experience with the above mentioned situation. However, that will not interfere with my return.Special Features:
- Consistently excellentOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2014Once again we had a great meal at Sovana. We requested to sit outside and despite being late, they had maintained our table with no problems. The server was very good at explaining the specials and drinks with just the right amount of detail. The food was fantastic, especially the seasonal options.Special Features:
- Awesomeartist2Dined on 8/30/2014Wonderful as always. Asked for a window table out of the way and got just what we wanted. Our waiter came right over and brought water. We asked for lemon which he forgot twice but the busboy brought it right over. Everything else was perfect. The Heirloom tomato bisque was out of this world and the arctic char was prepared perfectly. I have only good things to say about our experience and I'd go back I an instant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lovely outside patioLauraVIPDined on 8/29/2014It was a lovely day, so my friend and I ate o the patio. We had a delicious lunch; the salads eere perfect (beet and house) and we had pizzas. I had the clambake which was innovative and tasty. My friend had the broccoli which she really enjoyed. Dessert was a mixed bag. I had the blueberry pie; the filling was delicious and tart but the crust was bland, and the creme fraiche and oatmeal ice cream accompaniments were also bland. It might have been better with a tart sorbet or a thinner crust. My friend loved her goat cheese cheesecake. The service was excellent as alwaysI would recommend this to a friend.
- loved our lunch2dinedelciouslyDined on 8/29/2014My husband and I had a delicious lunch at Sovana Bistro. Even though it is in a small business/shopping center, once inside you would never know it. The decor is rustic and interesting and there is an outdoor side porch that is shaded by shrubs and an awning. This gives it a private backyard feel. I had a wonderful pizza with corn, feta cheese, cilantro, salami and a few jalapeno's that added flavor but didn't leave my mouth burning. My cocktail, a cantaloupe cucumber gimlet, was quite tasty. My husband, a beer drinker, was happy to have a Yards IPA and a corned beef sandwich with rutabaga sauerkraut. The sandwich came with a perfectly dressed salad. My husband summed it up: "this will be a good place to hang when we retire." Agreed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome place...GmanDined on 8/22/2014What a great atmosphere in this hidden gem, great food and terrific service. Interesting cocktail drink menu was one of the best I've ever seen and the menu has a wide range of great food for all. I'll be returning any chance I can.Special Features:
- The BestAbesbesrfoodDined on 8/22/2014I've been here at least 20 times for lunch and dinner, large groups and small. I have NEVER had an unsatisfactory experience. Food is exquisite, relaxed but professional service.Special Features:
- Always a wonderful choice!IgiveupDined on 8/16/2014Our party of three chose to dine on the side patio which was quiet and lovely. Service was excellent, the luncheon menu was (as always) filled with wonderful suggestions, and the choices we made were superb - delicious, beautifully presented, excellent portion size. Sovana has been a favorite of ours for many years, and they continue to be top notch!Special Features:
- Always goodJoyousDined on 8/15/2014We love Sovana Bistro and try to get there once or twice a year. The food is always outstanding and they always accommodate my gluten free dietary restrictions. They had a fabulous gluten free dessert also. Now just hope they get a GF pizza crust and GF bread! We love that it's a BYOB but The only negative thing is their $8.00 corkage fee.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always goodWestChesterDinerVIPDined on 8/8/2014We always enjoy our meals at Sovana. Had the Margherita pizza to share, good but a tad underdone. The special panzanella salad was just ok, it was small for the price and we didn't care for the Parmesan butter that was on it. Our guest enjoyed his apple salad. The suckling pig entree was excellent, I enjoyed the eggplant and kimchi that came with it more than the pork. The others in our party had the Spanish mackerel and liked it very much.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Les Miserables!!
Still haven't seen it as yet (I'm waiting for it on DVD).
I'm so aggravated.
I want to see it SO badly, but my mom doesn't like musicals and the only decent movie theater is like forty minutes from where we live, in the opposite direction (of approxamately forty minutes in the other direction with a movie theater who knows where down there) of where all my friends live.
I can't even. Just. ugh. xD
These look amazing Claire! I like the last one the best, but all of them are beautiful xx
Awe, thanks so much Kara!!!
That was a very sad episode and Blaine showed so many emotions singing that song just like you did with the screen caps that you used.
I really like the third one!
It was. :3
I was hoping that would come across.
Thank you!

Wow. After a slow start this historical fictional account of the early times of Genghis Khan is filled with both fascination and parts of horror. Nonetheless, I recommend it if you're not faint of heart. 9 of 10 stars.

Invest in Treasuries? These Stocks Laugh at the Idea.
Nate is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It's always the case. As an investment broker I had clients every week asking about treasuries. They know about them, the news mentions the price of treasuries every single day, and people understand them better than equities. You invest this much, you get that much back. Very simple.
Except it's never that simple, actually. There is a lot of potential risk and cost involved in treasuries. I don't mean risk concerning the collapse of the United States, of course. I mean risk that the rate you get won't keep up with the markets or inflation or such. That's a real risk when rates are as low as they are. A new release by the Congressional Budget Office outlines that risk and that rates are expected to climb after the next two years. So locking in for 10 years isn't a great play.
My clients that were after treasuries always wanted to be secure about return. I always talked to them about their concerns and tried to steer them towards high-dividend equities. Good, solid stocks with quality management that provided a history of growth and a solid dividend. My advice to them was to assume a bit more risk and take the return on the dividend as replacing, in their minds, the interest the treasuries would generate. Here's a few that I was fond of mentioning to them.
Consolidated Edison (NYSE: ED)
I know, I know. It sounds like something your parents, or even grandparents, might have invested in. But think about what that implies. It's a firm that's been around for a while and performed for most of it. ConEd supplies power and heat to some of the richest counties in the country. It's also been named one of the top dividend-paying investments. The stock has some ups and downs, but more ups. It's done a good job of coming back from the recession. And a solid 4.36% yield doesn't hurt.
The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX)
Many of you probably thought Clorox was just a brand, right? Not so. It's a firm in and of itself with several brands outside of its signature bleach product. It's also a firm that has grown more than 75% since it bottomed out during the recession. The firm has also raised its dividend four times since then and now yields 3.15%. Try that growth and income against 2% on treasuries and see which one you like better.
AT&T is one any investor should know. The telecom giant has been around since forever and been generating returns that whole time. Best known now for its mobile service the company still does a lot of business in local phone exchanges and, believe it or not, advertising in phone books. It's even trying to lock in video communications, now. The stock has seen a growth curve since 2009 with a total increase of 56.28% since its low during the recession. Toss in an astonishing dividend yield of 5.10% and it beats almost anything.
Merck (NYSE: MRK)
Another one that my clients, especially the younger ones (those below 50 years of age) seemed to always overlook. Merck makes drugs. It also does other things, like health care and animal care, but drugs are the main thing. Recently, the firm had a great quarter but its cautious behavior cost it some share value. Still, since the recession it's grown a bit more than 75% and it pays a dividend of 4.18% right now. It's even increased its dividend from 38 cents to 42 cents to 43 cents per share.
General Mills (NYSE: GIS)
General Mills is the quieter GM. It just moves along, supplier something everyone on earth needs: food. Cereals, yogurt, baked goods and so forth. There are likely items in your home right now that are General Mills made and you don't even know it. But did you know the firm also has a venture cap set up to get pieces of new food product firms? General Mills is savvier than most people think. The company's shares took a dip when everyone did five years ago but began what appears to be an inexorable march to glory immediately afterward. It's up more than 85% since early 2009 and it split 2:1 in 2010 AND it offers a dividend of 2.98%. I can't say this often enough: have this in your portfolio. Have it as one of the pillars of your portfolio.
Dividend yield isn't everything, of course. There are firms out there that offer a high yield as a means to entice investors into investing, knowing that the dividend can overcome significant risk objections. Those firms I'm always leery about. But the ones I listed here aren't like those. These are good, solid stocks and just their dividends will beat the pants off treasuries. So do yourself a favor and avoid government bonds for the moment and move towards something with some real, long-term return.
Good luck!

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- The Never Forgotten Honor Flight is getting ready to send another 100 veterans to Washington DC in April.
This is the first flight of the year, and president Mike Thompson says they've still got World War Two veterans on the list to go. "We've got 29 WWII vets for April, 70 Korea vets and one TLC Vietnam veteran. TLC is 'Their Last Chance', a veteran who is terminally ill." Veterans are typically scheduled based on their age, what war they served in, and what sort of care they'll need on the day trip to Washington DC.
If you have a loved one who served in the military and hasn't taken the flight, Thompson says it would be a good idea to sign them up for the flight. One of the most common things they hear from vets is that they didn't serve on the front lines, so they don't deserve to go. "The fact of the matter is that for every combatant there are 10 or 11 support people. They still went through training, they helped others learn their trade in the warzone. They're all critical parts of the overall effort." He says there is no veteran who served who does not deserve that trip to Washington.
If you'd like to know more about the Honor Flight or how to donate or get a loved one signed up for a flight, click HERE.

The typical reaction when I mention parasites is for a small shudder to course though the listener's body and some kind of verbal reaction such as, "Oh man, gross!" But really, are they so bad? They just want to be inside you. Uh...wait, they just want to live off of you. Er... they don't eat much?

On the most practical level, Sen. Rand Paul's 13-hour filibuster from Wednesday morning til after midnight accomplished this: delaying for a day the vote on President Obama's nominee to head the CIA, John Brennan. Soon enough, Paul ceded repeatedly, Brennan will win confirmation.
So, did Paul accomplish anything besides "blowing up Twitter," as his cohort Ted Cruz put it? He certainly did. How much he accomplished will be determined, but here are some places to look:
- He got the major media talking, for almost the first time, about the government's ability to kill U.S. citizens, without trial, even when they're not posing an imminent threat, on U.S. soil. Also, more broadly, about our government using drones to execute people that maybe we should be trying to capture and try.
- He got many Republicans to express objections to extrajudicial drone killings. Republicans, as a party, haven't been very worried about U.S. overreaches in the "Global War on Terror." Paul was something of a loner on this front when he was running in 2010. But Paul's filibuster captured the attention of the media, and the heart of conservatives and libertarians around the country.
Twitter provided such instant feedback, that it was pretty easy for Republican politicians to see there is a real demand for these sorts of civil liberties concerns on the Right. It may even be that some conservatives who rushed to "Stand to Rand" were really coming out of the closet, emboldened by Paul. Probably, most politicians coming to Paul's side were being opportunistic. Certainly many conservatives in the Twitterverse and Blogosphere were motivated a bit by partisanship — knocking Obama's hypocrisy on due process and civil liberties.
But still, even when politicians move for opportunistic or partisan reasons, they move, and the bounds of permissible dissent move with them. It's now easier for any future Republican politician or conservative commentator to push back on military overreach.
Paul spent hours yesterday setting the case against extrajudicial drone killings in various conservative contexts. He made pro-life arguments. He made Edmund Burke-sounding arguments. He mostly made constitutional arguments. He drew the lines from conservative principles to his more libertarian foreign policy conclusions.
The only check on an executive armed with flying death robots is the separation of powers and an understanding of the Constitution as a limit on government power. This has implications beyond counter-terrorism and war.

The car game is being shaken, not just stirred, by a new gas-electric Porsche that delivers both shattering performance and grocery-getter fuel efficiency. No, you canÆt afford one, but itÆs another sign that the hybrid-car future seems to be brightening.
Presently, hybrids are split roughly 90/10 into economy and luxury cars. ThereÆs a slew of everyday transportation like the Prius and C-Max, and then a few upscale gas-electrics, from the Volt to the $120,000 Lexus LS460h.
Nearly every high-end maker has slipped hybrid drive into one of its big sedans or SUVs. This shows green-ness and improves fuel efficiency slightly; usually it boosts the carÆs performance, too. Buyers donÆt expect extra acceleration from a ōfuel-saverö model, but the key is the electric motor thatÆs married to the gasoline plant. As everyone whoÆs used a Skilsaw knows, electric motors deliver power the instant the switch is triggered. No waiting! So while a hybridÆs gas or diesel engine is revving up to speed, its battery power is already propelling the car ahead.
Automotive engineers are on top of this. Hybrid racers from Audi and Toyota have already won at Le Mans and Sebring. Now the other sports-car benchmark, the N³rburgring in Germany, belongs to a hybrid car also.
The æRing is where carmakers fight each other for bragging rights. The track is almost 13 hilly, winding miles long, and most street cars Ś or most street drivers, anyway Ś are hard pressed to lap it in less than 10 minutes. World-class machines such as Corvettes, Nissan GT-Rs, 458 Ferraris and M-series BMWs usually canÆt break eight minutes without professionals at the wheel. But on the morning of Sept. 4, Porsche hung up a 6:57 lap with its new 918 Spyder, a gas-electric hybrid with an extension cord Ś thereby eclipsing the æRing record for street cars by 14 seconds, an eternity in racing.
Just imagine the cheeriness in the Porsche stand at the Frankfurt international auto show, where the 918 Spyder is making its public debut right now.
I wish I could say thereÆs a 918 in my driveway and that this is a first-hand report, but I have to crib from Porsche and the fortunate few (very, very few) whoÆve driven a 918 to date:
The gas engine is a 4.6-liter, 608HP V-8. On the front axle there is an electric motor good for 127 horsepower; on the rear axle, another one tuned for 154 horsepower. There are 312 lithium-ion batteries and a computer inbetween. Total available power: 887 horses and 940 lb-ft. of torque. The rear wheels turn to help the fronts steer. The dual-clutch gearbox has seven forward speeds and there are five selectable driving modes. The carbon fiber-reinforced plastic body has two seats and a trunk, but stowing the removable roof panels fills it up.
On watts alone, the Nine-One-Eight can travel 20 miles, or hit 62 mph in 7.9 seconds and reach 94 mph. Push the throttle harder, and enter cardiac-arrest territory. Porsche claims 0 to 62 mph in 2.8 seconds; 125 comes up in 7.9 seconds, 188 in 23 seconds, and top speed is 213-plus. The front-wheel drive disconnects at 146 mph.
Page 2 of 2 - Sure, epic power equals epic speed. But hereÆs the rest of the story: While no one has yet put the car through the EPA/DOT mileage cycle, a 918 should deliver 25 to 35 mpg, and even a full-bore blast down the autobahn is likely to sink this only to about 20 mpg.
PorscheÆs Nick Twork told me that the 918 ōis a car that many canÆt fully understand until they get the chance to experience it firsthand.ö We should be so lucky. Porsche will sell no more than 918 918s at $845,000 (and up), so unless you count people like Porsche collector Jerry Seinfeld among your friends, youÆre unlikely ever to see one outside a car show, much less ōexperienceö it.
The first 918 Spyders will be delivered to customers early next year. Get your order in, if itÆs not too late, and you also can have your hybrid performance cake, and eat the economy one, too.

Wairarapa were soundly beaten by Kapiti in the men's and women's section of a representative outdoors match played at the Central Levin Bowling Club on Sunday.
The 10-2 loss suffered by the men did not altogether surprise selector Warren Wyeth who said his side contained several relatively inexperienced players who were being given the opportunity to test themselves at a higher level.
"It was pretty much a learning curve for these players and most of them acquitted themselves quite well," Wyeth said.
Singles player Ian Monaghan and the pair of Warren Fisher and Scott McKenzie provided the only Wairarapa wins.
The Wairarapa women were beaten 8-4 by their Kapiti counterparts but they provided one of the individual highlights of the whole fixture when singles player Judith Wyeth won both her games, and by comfortable margins to boot.
Results were (Wairarapa names first):
Singles: I. Monaghan 20, R. Boffa 21; Monaghan 21, P. Howell 8; G. Tindall 10, Howell 21; Tindall 7, Boffa 21.

Christophe Tshego will get an AfricaBike. It won't be as fancy as the Kona Smoke I gave him last November on my trip to Botswana, but it will be better suited to the dusty roads he'll ride around his home in Bobonong. Tshego, a slim, soft-spoken man in his mid-30s, got the Smoke as a reward for his courage: He is the rare HIV-positive African who is willing to stand in front of a group of strangers and admit to his ailment. "I want to let people know that being HIV-positive isn't a death sentence," he says. "Life goes on if you take the right drugs. But you have to get tested to know, and you must practice the right behaviors to avoid the virus. That's what I will ride all over and tell people."
His message, and the bike on which he delivers it, will help save lives. Sub-Saharan Africa is a part of the world where a bicycle can make the difference between life and death. Literally. Not in a "the doctor told me to lose some weight or I'm gonna have a heart attack" kind of way. But by allowing health-care workers to deliver medicines-or even something as simple as crucial information that can arrest a disease in its tracks. Or by allowing a laborer to commute to a job that pays a wage that allows him to support his family and break a generations-old cycle of poverty and despair that allows HIV to spread like a wildfire.
If the United States were enduring an HIV epidemic on the same scale as the one currently plaguing sub-Saharan Africa, it would be the subject of congressional hearings, a medical Manhattan project and daily front-page news. But in much of Africa, it's a grim fact of everyday life that one of every three people you meet is HIV-positive. Go to a soccer match and the picture is clear: There's a guy sitting on your left and a woman sitting on your right. One of you won't be alive a year from now. It's a fact made harder to accept by the crushing poverty and the rampant crime.
That's why BikeTown is going to Botswana, a country so devastated by HIV/AIDS that nearly four out of every 10 of its citizens has been infected by the disease, and almost two-thirds of the deaths of children five and under are caused by AIDS.
This spring, bicycling and Kona Bikes will distribute 200 AfricaBikes to groups fighting HIV/AIDS in Botswana's capital, Gaborone, and in rural Bobonong. The bikes are for use primarily by home-health-care workers, all of whom are employed by programs funded by the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation's Secure the Future project (securethefuture.com). They will use the bikes to distribute anti-retroviral drugs and provide home care to people infected with HIV, and to disseminate information about how people can protect themselves from HIV and on the importance of being tested for the virus.
In Bobonong, most of the STF-funded health-care workers visit their patients on foot. This means that those heading into the remote areas outside the town can sometimes see only one or two people each day. STF workers estimate a bike will allow them to increase that number to as many as five visits per day. As a South African STF worker told me, "Giving an African a bike is like giving an American a helicopter."
©Secure The Future
Spreading the word is particularly important. Part of the reason HIV/AIDS has reached epidemic proportions in sub-Saharan Africa is the potent stigma attached to those who carry the disease, and the denial that accompanies the stigma. It's not unusual to hear someone tell you that there's no such thing as HIV. Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, South Africa's minister of health, has repeatedly said that AIDS can be cured with a rigorous diet of garlic and potatoes.
Of the three patients I met at a clinic in Gaborone, two hadn't told their families they were infected, even though both had been taking anti-HIV medicines for more than two years. It's a common story. Sam Lister, health correspondent for the Times of London, whom I met in Gaborone, told me that he had visited the home of a woman in a South African shantytown in Soweto. "She told me her husband thinks she's got some sort of mystery illness," he said. "I don't know if it's denial or shame, but the problem needs to be brought out into the open."
Taking BikeTown to Botswana is a huge step for bicycling, and a logical and very necessary one. We live in a world where physical location is no longer the sole hallmark of a neighbor, and where the need for help has never been greater. I know BikeTown Africa will help, and I intend to keep it growing. My great hope is that by the end of this decade, we can have a BikeTown on every continent.
Why am I so hopeful? For one thing, we have a good idea that fills a dire need using the simple yet highly effective tool of a bicycle, and we have great partners with whom we can get the job done.
For another, I believe in omens. On the day we handed out three Kona Smokes in Gaborone last November, rain fell on the parched capital, the first real rain in months. The last I saw of Christophe Tshego, he was riding off into the rain. To spread the word, no doubt.

America's uneven jobs recovery
Nationally, the numbers are improving, but unemployment remains a stubborn problem in some cities and regions.
When it comes to employment rates, America's major metropolitan areas have received mixed news. Data released last week by the Department of Labor found that nonfarm, nonseasonal jobless rates were lower in nearly two-thirds of 372 U.S. cities in January -- but higher in 124 areas and unchanged in 21 other cities.
A dozen areas had jobless rates of at least 15%, and 80 metropolitan areas had unemployment rates of at least 10%, although that's an improvement on the figures released a year ago.
Yuma, Ariz., battered by a poor housing market, and El Centro, Calif., had the highest unemployment rates in January, at 26.5% and 25.8%, respectively. The majority of cities with the worst jobless rates were located in California, while three others were in New Jersey. The cities listed in the Garden State were in areas that were ravaged by Superstorm Sandy but could see employment rebound as the cleanup continues and local industries recover.
But the numbers in California, says 24/7 Wall St., "show how intractable the jobless problem can be and how, in some areas, it has gone without solution."
As the website points out, most of the California cites with high unemployment are in the state's center and have been hit by a triple whammy of a collapsed real estate, softer agricultural prices and the long-term effects of the state's ongoing financial crisis.
In terms of overall lowest unemployment rates, the honors for January went to Midland, Texas (3.4%), followed by Bismark, N.D., and Odessa, Texas -- both at 4.1%. The cities with the largest, year-over-year decreases were Las Vegas (-2.3%) and Ocala, Fla. (-2%). The Bureau of Labor Statistics says 59 other metropolitan areas had jobless rates drop by at least one percentage point in January.
Of the 49 U.S. cities with a population of 1 million or more, per the 2000 Census, two had jobless rates over 11%: Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (11.5%) and Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (11.3%). At the other end of the big-city spectrum, Oklahoma City's jobless rate was lowest in January at 5.2%, followed by the Austin, Texas, region and metropolitan Washington, D.C., both at 5.8%.
At least now there's optimism that the recovering housing market could mean more construction jobs, which will in turn revive employment rates nationwide. Government figures quoted by the Pew Charitable Trusts noted about half of all job losses at the start of the recession were in the construction and manufacturing sectors, with construction suffering the worst drop since World War II.
But industry officials worry the continued budget quarrels in Congress could undermine the sector's recovery and hurt overall construction job creation.
hehe 'uneven'?????????? who the hell is the fed kidding? themselves? the idiot voter? the mindless obamazombies? hmmmm all of the above!
the nationwide unemployment figures in a country like this should be no more than 2% at most, there should more jobs than there are human beings to fill them ten times over, so where the hell are they? and I'm talkin' PERMANENT JOBS, not temp ones and not car wash help either, sustainable high paying jobs that can support a mortgage!!
where have 8million jobs gone that will never come back since that pig obama took office go to exactly? millions of unemployed are no longer counted as such, so what the hell is the truth? the truth is we're fukkkkkkkkkkked, the unfortunate truth
Our problems are fundamental and entrenched in our society; blaming any given set of individuals short of our entire country is naive.

Dec 13 2013: I agree with Colleen the people and sights are great everywhere I have been.
If you want to see America I would suggest a road trip. Get yourself a Prius fill it with gas, pack a tent and sleeping bag, put your bikes on the back, and hit the road. The freedom of the open road is exhilarating and at $2.75 a gallon for gas and 90 Kilometers per gallon in your Prius there is nothing to stop you from driving from Savannah to Seattle down to San Diego (Don't forget Yosemite) up to Minneapolis (my favorite) across Northern Michigan and on to Niagara Falls and Down to Washington DC. Then start off in a different direction. In Minneapolis don't forget to rent a canoe and paddle on the chain of lakes that skirt the edge of Down Town.
Do not underestimate how far it is across the country

All Southwestern Associate of Arts, Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science degree programs are approved for VA benefits by the Veteran's Administration.
Contact the Veteran's office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Veteran's Administration requires information concerning each veteran student's enrollment, date of interruption or termination of training, change in the number of credit hours and unsatisfactory progress or conduct. The benefits you receive from the Veteran's Administration (VA) are subject to specific terms and conditions. You will be given a VA Pamphlet of Responsibility that outlines the terms and conditions at the time you meet with the Veteran's Clerk. The pamphlet contains the signature portion which needs to be signed, dated and returned to the VA office immediately. This will become a permanent part of your file.
Mandatory Advising Requirement - All first-time VA students will need to meet with an advisor that has been specifically trained for our veteran students. This meeting is designed to properly evaluate the required courses for your degree so that you may receive your VA benefits. If you will be pursuing a degree after leaving Southwestern, you may be eligible to receive funding for transfer courses and will need to discuss this with your advisor at the time of your advising session. Please contact the Educational Support Program and Services Office at 888-7371 or at 888-7405 to make an VA advising appointment.
Attendance - To maintain benefit payments, veteran students must attend classes. It is the responsibility of each registered veteran to officially withdraw from the College if he/she does not desire to attend classes. The veteran should then notify the Veterans Service Office, which will notify the Veterans Administration. Failure to do so may result in an overpayment to the student, which the student must repay.
Developmental Courses - When a veteran student attempts to enroll in developmental courses for more than two terms, an assessment of needed courses will be made and forwarded to the Veteran's Administration stating that continued enrollment in developmental courses is useful and necessary. If such a determination is not made, the student will not be certified for continued enrollment in these courses.
Change in Credit Load and Program Requirements - All VA students are required to notify the VA representative of any course changes during the current term as a change in enrollment status may affect your VA funding. For this reason, all VA students will be placed on hold after the refund period to ensure that students notify the VA representative. This means that students must have all current term add/drop forms signed by the VA clerk before processing them at the Student First Stop Center. Early registrations for the upcoming term will also need to be processed at the Student First Stop Center. You may register using myLakerLink starting with finals week and through the first week of each term.
Program of Study - All veteran students must have a declared major and may receive payment only for courses required to complete the major program. Students using Veterans benefits may only pursue a program approved by the Oregon Department of Education, the State Approving Agency (SAA). Not all certificate programs are approved. Consult with the Veterans representative before registering.
Transfer of Credits - Veterans who enter as transfer students, or who have completed any college-level course work, are required to have all transcripts forwarded to the Transcript Evaluator for evaluation. Failure to have transcripts evaluated will result in termination of benefits to the veteran student at the end of the second term of enrollment. Veterans may also be eligible for credit from their military training by submitting a challenge form to the Student First Stop Center. See the Veteran's clerk or the Student First Stop Center for the required forms.
Hour Requirements - To receive full-time pay, the student must take a minimum of 12 credit hours; for 3/4 time pay, the student must take nine credit hours; and to receive 1/2 time pay, students must take a minimum of six credit hours. During summer session, full-time pay is based on eight credits.
Satisfactory Progress - Satisfactory progress is defined in the College catalog; however, the Veteran's Administration requires that students receiving benefits be terminated after two terms of less than a 2.0 GPA. If VA benefits are terminated, you will receive a letter indicating what steps you will need to take to seek reinstatement of your VA benefits. In addition, students that are placed on Academic Probation will be required to meet with their advisor to discuss their situation and to be informed of resources to assist you while attending classes. The school will maintain records, available to both the veteran and Veterans Administration, which show the final grade for each subject attempted.

Business Ideas in the News / March 19, 2014
An archaeologist from Wallsend [UK] has unearthed an innovative new business idea to help children and adults get a taste of North East history.
Archaeosoup Productions aims bring the region's heritage to life through a blend of digital media production, educational talks and enthralling workshops.
The firm was launched by Durham University archaeology graduate Marc Barkman-Astles and has quickly won contracts with customers including Northumberland Scouts and North Tyneside Council to provide digital learning materials and activities.
Barkman-Astles said: "Given the slowdown in the construction industry and the reduction in academic funding, archaeology job opportunities are thin on the ground, therefore having finished my contract I decided self-employment was my best option.
When I originally saved this article for publication, I only skimmed it, so I thought that Archaesoup was a restaurant, run by an archeologist, that made and sold historical soups and other food. If the educational stuff doesn't pan out, I'm sure the historic food business will.
Maybe he can find a recipe or two on this site. Here's what they ate in Shakespearean times:
"In general terms, the foodstuffs enjoyed in sixteenth-century England were almost identical to those of the medieval period. Roast and boiled meat, poultry, fish, pottages, frumenty, bread, ale, wine and to a much lesser extent, fruit and vegetables, formed the basis of the diet of the upper classes.

Cold Bats Cost Vikings In Doubleheader Losses To Wildcats
WAYNE, Neb. – Augustana hit a cold spell at the plate on Friday, combing for seven hits in two losses to Wayne State in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference play.
The Wildcats shutout the Vikings 6-0 in the opener, and took the nightcap 4-1.
The Vikings fell to 32-13 (22-7 NSIC) with the losses, while the Wildcats improved to 22-17 (15-10 NSIC) on the year with the two wins.
Augustana had no answer for Wayne State's Eric Browning in a 6-0 shutout loss. It was the second time this season the Vikings have been shutout.
Augustana was held to a season-low two hits at the plate.
Browning (6-3) had complete control in the game, giving up just two hits to go along with nine strikeouts for the WSC in the complete-game shutout victory.
Alex Fink and Marcus O'Neill were the only Vikings to get a hit in the contest.
Michael Letkewicz (6-2) dropped his first game in over a month on the mound. Letkewicz finished his day going four innings, giving up five runs, three earned, on eight hits.
Jake Petersen's 24-game hitting streak came to a halt after a 0-for-2 day at the plate.
Tony Viger saw his 12-game streak fall as well, going 0 for 3.
The Wildcats got out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning after CJ Nolen's single to left field scored Zak Leighton form second base with one out.
Letkewicz started off the bottom half of the second strong, striking out the first two Wayne State batters, before getting himself in a bases-loaded jam. The Waterloo, Iowa native then walked in a run, and gave up a single to short that brought in another run to give WSC a 3-0 lead after two.
Fink gave the Vikings their second hit of the ballgame in the top of the fourth. Augustana couldn't capitalize as Jack Goihl grounded out in the next at-bat.
Wayne State upped its lead to five in the bottom of the fourth after Nolen's sac fly to left field scored Leighton from third base.
The Wildcats tacked on another run to make it 6-0 WSC in the bottom of the sixth inning. Nolen picked up his third RBI of the game with a single that scored Aaron Krier from third.
Augustana had no answer as the game got into the late innings, going down without much of a fight in the top of the seventh to give the Wayne State the 6-0 win.
The Vikings couldn't get the bats going for a second-straight game, losing 4-1 to the Wildcats.
Augustana got five hits the contest, giving them seven combined for the two games on Friday.
Tyson Gau (6-3) gave the Vikings a great start, but had two rough innings that did the Alexandria, S.D. native in, giving him three losses on the season. Gau pitched 7.0 innings, giving up four runs, only one earned, on 10 hits. The senior right-hander also had five strikeouts on the day.
Winter went 1 for 3 with lone run scored in the loss for Augustana.
Brendan Koistinen drove in the lone run of the game with a pinch-hit sac fly in the top of the fifth inning.
Pitcher's duel broke out early between the Wildcats' Matt Russell and Gau. Neither gave an inch through the first three innings, Gau only allowing two hits to Russell's one.
The Vikings finally broke open a scoreless tie in the top of the fifth inning to take a 1-0 lead. Kye Winter and Brian Duxbury started the inning off with back-to-back hits to put runners on first and second with no outs. Koistinen came in to pinch hit for Zach Dibble with two outs and drove Winter across home plate with a sac fly to left field to score the Willow Lake, S.D. native from third base to give Augustana their only lead on the day.
WSC tied the game up at 1-1 in the bottom half of the sixth with Aaron Molinaro's double to left center with two outs scored Michael Herman. Gau rebounded by striking out Mike Servais to get the final out of the inning.
Wayne State made its move in the bottom of the seventh inning, scoring three runs on four hits to take a 4-1 lead. A two-out two-RBI double by Nolen to right center highlighted the big inning for the Wildcats at the plate.
The Vikings never got anything going at the plate late in the game, allowing WSC to hold on to the 4-1 win.

Lady Antebellum taped their CMT Crossroads performance with Stevie Nicks Tuesday night in Los Angeles, and the show will premiere in the coming months. While in town for the taping, Lady A is also getting some serious hang time with the rock legend.
The group's Charles Kelley says, "She invited us to her house one night. So, we're gonna go hang out with her at her house, which I'm gonna die."
It was actually Stevie's idea to do the CMT Crossroads with Lady Antebellum, and they all hopped on a conference call a few weeks back to prepare the show. The members of Lady A were floored that Stevie is a big fan of their music. Hillary Scott , who is expecting her first child in July, was very taken with Stevie's spirit in that call.
"I joked, and I'm kind of not kidding, with my husband when I got home after the phone call, I said, 'I really kinda want her to be the honorary godmother of our child,'" Hillary says with a laughs. "She was just this amazing presence and person to talk to."
Charles cut his musical teeth on Stevie's classic album with her band Fleetwood Mac , Rumours . He discovered the LP in his parents' record collection, and Charles says, "I just was like, 'Oh my gosh. Who in the world are these guys?' Just played it over and over in my room."
Charles adds that performing this show with Stevie Nicks is a real full circle moment for him. We'll keep you posted when CMT announces an airdate for this installment of Crossroads .

The LA City Council comes one step closer to lifting a 10 year ban on murals painted on privately owned businesses. The measure still needs a final council approval and it would restrict murals on single-family homes. Council members are looking for ways to allow communities the choice of having murals on their homes if they want to. Council members expressed that there was a time when LA was considered the "mural capital" of the world. City Councilman Jose Huizar said, "The city of Los Angeles was known as a place where we supported the arts, where we had free expression on our walls." Huizar represents Eastside communities that support mural art.
Communities in the San Fernando Valley also support it. 26-year old Levi Ponce has been painting murals in the City of Pacoima. A section of Van Nuys Boulevard is known as The Mural Mile. Ponce has 16 murals ranging from the "Lady of the Valley", a young Latina surrounded by roses to The Mona Lisa with a Sombrero known as "The Pacoima Art Revolution". You'll also find Frida Kahlo, actor Danny Trejo and many others. Ponce says he is thrilled the city council is moving toward lifting the mural ban. "I think it's great they're getting to the point where they can differentiate between commercial art and art for art sake. They got bundled together after the city got a little tired of seeing too much graffiti and too many ads." Ponce says his murals are simply a reflection of his neighborhood. No one paid him for his work. Ponce says through laughter, "This is all out of heart, out of pocket. I open my heart and my wallet."

Oscar Noir: 1940s Writing Nominees from Hollywood's Dark Side
New Prints! Big Screen! Special Surprises and Guests! Great Price!
Perhaps it's our own dark, cynical and disillusioned times, but it certainly seems that the film noir genre has withstood the test of time in its own uniquely delicious way. A close look at the films from the 1940s sharing noir attributes reveals that the Academy noticed them far more often for their writing than in any other nomination category, suggesting that their firm "foundation" is responsible for their lasting impact.
Fifteen film noir classics from the 1940s, all of which were nominated in the writing categories, were celebrated in a summer-long screening series, introduced by contemporary screenwriters whose own work reflects the film noir style.
All features were preceded by a specially selected "noir" cartoon short and a chapter of the 1941 serial "Adventures of Captain Marvel" starring Tom Tyler, Frank Coghlan Jr., William Benedict and Louise Currie. Considered by many to be one of the best serials of all time, "Captain Marvel" was presented in new 35mm prints.
May 10 – The Maltese Falcon (100 mins.)
The third film version of Dashiell Hammett's novel became iconic in the hands of writer-director John Huston with Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre creating indelible portraits of film noir characters.

Preceded by "How to Be a Detective" (1936) starring Robert Benchley and "How to Be a Detective" (1952) starring Goofy.

May 24 – Laura (88 mins.)
Based on a novel by Vera Caspary, the screenplay by Jay Dratler, Samuel Hoffenstein and Betty Reinhardt was nominated for an Oscar.
