- Wonderful High Tea ExperienceDeeDeeLynnDined on 9/24/2014The Mandarin Oriental is a lovely, serene hotel and the Tea Lounge is elegant and inviting. We had a fun, relaxed tea for three and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Cannot wait to do it again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- oasis of calmOlsakiDined on 9/15/2014We had a wonderful afternoon at the Mandarin Oriental in their tea lounge. We ordered the Classic English Tea and it was wonderful. Beautifully made tea and delightful savoury and sweet items - perfectly presented and tasting wonderful. Our waitress was helpful and provided excellent service. We have already recommended the hotel to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the Mandarin StandardLadyYayaDined on 9/15/2014I am bided my mom and her sisters for tea at the Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas to celebrate my mother's 70th birthday. We were terribly disappointed. Unlike my experience at other Mandarin properties, staff was poorly trained, had insufficient knowledge of items in the menu they were clumsy and their service.
- Calm amongst the madnessLazydays1Dined on 9/3/2014Lovely serene atmosphere with great views of the strip. The savories were delightful and the desserts were deliciousSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely AfternoonanilegnaDined on 9/2/2014The tea room is small, so recommendations is a must. It was a fun, relaxing experience especially after several nights out in Vegas. We did the classic tea experience - the tea was really good. The food was good and presentation was nice- nothing fabulous or extraordinary. On the 23rd floor, so got a pretty good view of the strip. Service was impeccable.Special Features:
- Best Afternoon Teamatthew57Dined on 8/31/2014Had afternoon tea here and it was the best I have ever experienced. The service was excellent, and the food and tea tasted amazing. The only downside I had was our table was in the middle of the room and seemed a little bit like been on display.Special Features:
- SoothingSportivoVIPDined on 8/29/2014The Tea lounge at the Mandarin Oriental is the place you want to go to get away from the frenzy of Las Vegas, if just for a little while. The different courses of the standard tea offering are painstakingly prepared, slightly whimsical, and delicious. There are a variety of teas offered, to suite every palate, and the warm flavors and aromas add to the serenity of the experience. This is a place we try to go whenever we are in Las Vegas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice high tea experience in VegasRSFTravelerVIPDined on 8/25/2014I've been here several times now and it's a cool spot for high tea and a nice reprieve from the hustle bustle of the casinos. There is not a large selection of teas but the available choices are good. They forgot several of the important components of traditional high tea each time we visited and we had to ask for things like more hot water, jam for the scones, honey, sugar, milk for the tea, etc. I think the service for such a small room is consistently sub standard especially for a Mandarin property, but the view and overall experience is worth it.Special Features:
- service was marginal-OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014we wetre there for afternoon tea- waitress didn't ask to refill tea or ask if we needed anything replinished,the jams and lemon curd portions were tiny.Special Features:
- Very chic placeSLL78Dined on 8/11/2014Amazing view. Food was delicious, a great twist on afternoon tea. It was a great experience and would go back. The atmosphere was lovely. If you enjoy afternoon tea, I would recommend this as a place to go while in vegasSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RomanticOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 8/9/2014The decor is classy and beautiful. The food and service impeccable. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who has never tried it before and to those who love afternoon tea. There is an entire menu dedicated to unique teas one can choose from.
- Tea at MandarinmsgirlDined on 8/6/2014Mandarin has a great Zen feel. The tea is fantastic. We are a family of four, so we all ordered a different tea so we could try all. Delicious!Special Features:
- After noon teajboloDined on 8/2/2014Excellent value for a special occasion we all didn't like rum cake though as too rubbery in texture. Lovely friendly staff - very accommodatingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tea-rrific!CaliGirlDined on 7/31/2014My boyfriend and I went to the Mandarin Oriental for afternoon tea and were simply blown away by the view, ambiance, service, and food! The teas were delicious, the food was heavenly, the staff were extremely friendly and attentive, and the setting was sublime. I would recommend this experience to anyone seeking a serene spot to enjoy a culinary treat above the chaos of the Las Vegas strip!Special Features:
- Afternoon tea!BellawellaDined on 7/30/2014I took my 80year old parents for afternoon tea to the Mandarin....and we all absolutely enjoyed our time there.....the service was truly outstanding particularly from a young girl called 'stephanie'..... Who I thought was absolutely wonderful... My only thing I would say is the positioning of the tea lounge.....whilst the lounge itself is lovely, you are very exposed to the hotels check in desk.....I feel it would be more special if it felt more private from the rest of the hotel.... Hope this is useful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous ViewVictorfox36VIPDined on 7/28/2014This was our second visit to the Tea Lounge. It was recommended by a Las Vegas local and she was right on for this experience. Prepare for a relaxing afternoon of fine cocktails and a tea experience that we would compare to the one at The Empress Hotel in Canada. Try it and find out for yourself. Reservations are recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experience!LuvhighteaDined on 7/15/2014The view is stunning. Service was excellent. Enjoyed the afternoon tea service (1pm-5pm only). I would go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tea TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/15/2014Had an amazing English Tea time with some old friends from high school. Completely wowed them with the view and the selection. The service was impeccable and the finger foods were tasty. The view and the service is what won me over though.Special Features:
- Great find!SandraDined on 7/13/2014The tea room was great! Beautiful atmosphere, great view and wonderful service. They also have a great selection of teas to choose from. The only negative thing I could say is the seats were terribly uncomfortable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pinkies up for afternoon tealiveforfoodDined on 7/11/2014The view through the floor to ceiling windows were beautiful. The decor and ambience created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The little sandwiches were tasty as well as pretty. The little scones were warm and buttery. When smeared with the Devonshire cream and the raspberry or strawberry rhubarb jam, the flavors were amazing. The assortment of desserts were pretty as well as tasty, except for the rum cake that tasted nothing like rum and was rubber y in texture. The peach blooming tea was so tasty. The wait staff were attentive and friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved it!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/6/2014You must do the afternoon tea. Wonderful view. Great place to go after you visit the SPA. Best scones ever!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delightful!JenZDined on 7/5/2014If you are looking for a lovely tea experience, with finely created pastries, snack size sandwiches and scones with the fixings fit for the Queen, please do experience this!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Tea LoungeTeaforTwoDined on 7/1/2014Truly enjoyed, food was excellent and tea was great. Will plan on having tea at the Mandarin Oriental next time in Las Vegas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mandarin Oriental Tea LoungeluvteaandgirlsDined on 6/30/2014The staff was EXCELLENT! First Class service all the way!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MsmannersDined on 6/28/2014Our waitress, Jingle, was incredible--very kind and attentive. I rated the ambience only "good," because the front desk is located directly behind the tea area. There was a screaming child at the front desk, and his parents allowed him to jump on and off the furniture while making loud noises. It was a nice culinary experience...the sugary, edible rose petal that topped the lemon dessert was delicious. The food was very good. My only wish is that there had been more tea sandwiches as opposed to the many desserts they gave us. It ended up being a lot of food and a very good value for the money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Foodetailz2Dined on 6/18/2014We enjoyed our tea experience at the tea lounge, a wonderful ambience and all in all a very nice afternoon tea.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Afternoon tea in Las VegasLindylouDined on 6/17/2014Lovely afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental. We went for the Champagne tea which was beautifully presented with stunning views. The atmosphere was quite sterile but overall was a lovely experience. Not sure I would recommend it as family/child friendly. Service was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice viewSuuuuDined on 6/15/2014This restaurant was on the skypillar or sky something floor of the Mandarin Oriental. It had a wonderful view and the little seatings were cute too. The chairs were slightly uncomfortable. Food: everything leading up to the dessert dish was superb. The tea in the ginormous pot was really good ( but became rather cold towards the end). Deserts...I'm not sure how others felt about the dessert but my friend and I could not eat more than one nibble of anything. It was good we think? But it was so sweet that we downed all of the tea and our heads were left spinning from the excessive sugar. If you have a sweet tooth, this would be a dish for you. Overall: very nice place. Will come again to order everything but the desserts.Special Features:
- Very Relaxing!LadieJaymesDined on 6/12/2014The Tea Loynge is a wonderful place to go and relax. There's a gorgeous scenic view...the lounge is in the 23rd floor. Service is friendly and excellent, elegant but not pretentious. Enjoy a classic afternoon tea with scones, Devonshire cream, finger sandwiches and sweets.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best tea in VegasFiannaDined on 6/11/2014Spendy afternoon, but always worth it. If you enjoy the afternoon ritual of English tea, this is the place to go.Special Features:
- DisappointingnotahighteaDined on 6/10/2014This was recommende to me as the best high tea on the Strip... Very disappointing. Las Vegas offers a great number of luxurious experiences, but this was definitely not one of them - except for the cost, of course. The seats were particularly uncomfortable; the treats were not all fresh (some decidedly not freshly made; some hard as rock; some soggy and soaked through, etc.) Tea pot not kept warm; Tiered tray system very wobbly and crooked; I was so looking forward to a great tea lounge, but this is just a cheap set of bad seats next to the check in desk. Nothing there to redeem itself; nothing close to high tea. I only listed this as kid-friendly because no other recommendation applies.Special Features:
- Heavenly TeaGinnyVIPDined on 6/9/2014This is one of the most elegant tea services I've ever had! I asked for the recipe for scones, and made them at home. They are gracious and filled my tea even when I didn't ask. They are observant and attentive.Special Features:
- teafloralDined on 6/9/2014I thought the tea was outstanding! the options of the different teas, and the tea sandwiches were delightful! I specially loved the egg cup! The only thing I would say it appears to be a lot of desert! I would rather have an extra tea sandwich. but overall, if I am in Vegas again I will certainly book a tea time and recommend it to friends.Special Features:
- Great ViewsBorobeccaDined on 6/6/2014We celebrated my dads birthday here. Very lovely surroundings, fantastic view and excellent service. Lovely touch was the birthday cake presented to my dad. Would recommend.Special Features:
- OutstandingchicmkDined on 6/4/2014This ended up to be the perfect place! I had my aunt and cousin in town to visit and they were all very impressed with the Tea Lounge. The view is gorgeous and it is perfect for a group of women. The service was wonderful too. The menu had a wonderful selection and I am even more appreciative that they have a gluten free menu. We will certainly be back soon and recommend the Mandrin to others as well! This made my families trip a perfect Vegas experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely afternoon teaJennDined on 6/4/2014Arriving on the 23rd floor lobby of the Mandarin Oriental, you feel like you are in the clouds. We were seated next to the window, overlooking the chaos of the strip. Our server Jennlynn was so pleasant and though initially confused by my request for a non alcoholic Berry Bellini, she took care of our every need. The tea sandwiches were delicious and we were particularly impressed with their take on the deviled egg, absolutely exquisite! The scones were a buttery, fluffy delight and paired with the cherry preserves, heavenly! The desserts were a little too rich for our taste, but we were so satisfied by that point it really didn't take away from our overall enjoyment. A wonderful experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The service was excellent by very friendly and elegant servers. They were very informative on the types of Teas and the food selections. The scones were top rate, served warm. The sandwich items and dessert items were a little different. They had some unique flavor combinations which made them taste a little funny. They all looked very good and well made.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Cheap Geek Tips
Published on - July 13th, 2006 (Modified on - August 28th, 2006) (by J.D. Roth)
The Bargain Queen offers a list of ten cheap geek tips, her advice for saving money on technology. For example:
Buy the best quality you can afford. If you've done your homework, you'll know the best options at each price-point. So you buy the cheapest option that will do the job, right? Not always. In some cases, spending more will only get you a fancier brand name and packaging. In others, it means the difference between replacing it in a year or five years. In really extreme cases, the cheaper option won't actually do what you need because a crucial feature is missing. The extra money will probably be worth it if you get a more reliable, extensible product; customer support and a good warranty will also make a big difference if you have any problems with the product.
The list is a thoughtful guide to saving money on tech gadgets. I don't agree with everything she says, though. I'd much rather have stand-alone devices that perform specialized functions than add-on to existing equipment. For example, my iPod is an essential part of my daily routine; forcing my computer to take its place would be impractical.
Take a look at the entire list of ten cheap geek tips.
I would add that brand names have a higher resale value. That's actually how I manage to maintain such a tech-savvy lifestyle: when I'm done with a product, I put it on sale on eBay (ALWAYS keep the original boxes and receits somewhere). The difference between the new toy and the not-so-new is always far more bearable than the face value.
The key is to feel when the 2d hand price is optimum: ideally, it's right before the introduction of a new model.
It's like buying a Mercedes: it's the first one that hurts. In my case, the same rule applied succesfully to: computers (Apple), smartphones, LCD Monitors or camcorders…
"Buy the best quality you can afford"
I bought the best quality, highest end computer I could afford. Spent $2600 three years ago, and it is still WAY more computer than I need. I expect I will be using it for another three or four years before it begins to feel long in the tooth.
Knowledge (education) is also key. Since I know a little bit about computers, I can upgrade old or broken parts myself which allows me to have a relatively modern machine. At some point I might have to buy a new machine, but I should be able to make it last a little bit longer than the manufactures would like because of my knowledge.
I suppose the same can be said for cars, home cooking, appliances and so on. A little bit of knowledge goes a long way.
Case in point — I have no knowledge in appliance repairs so when my washing machine broke down, the initial quote for getting it professionally repaired was nearly $200. After a little bit of poking around on the internet, I was able to figure out how to fix the problem myself. The broken part was purchased for $10 but the labor was intensive. However, after learning what I needed to do, even the labor turned out to be "not so bad".
Hi! Why buy ? Join a computer club . They often have recycling events & people bring in some nice computers sometimes. I have a Dell laptop model C610 Latitude with 512 MB Ram, 1Ghz processor & 20 GIg harddrive. I plan on upgrading it through recycled parts, but it works fine just like it is & $0000. The same for appliances . People throw away things all the time that work just fine . I have gotten from curbside trash-2 air conditioners, 1 freezer 10 cubic feet,couches, tables, chairs-2 of which the lady had paid $800 each for 15 years ago like new still,a waterbed queen size, all kinds of things. I furnished our apt. in 2000 from all trash picking items & I have very nice things I got. I was even able to sell some things.You can often get things you need from FREECYCLE too. I have gave things away & gotten items too. Local ads for storage units that aren't paid are another source of cheap items. They usually list the items in paper , sometimes get everything in whole storage shed, sometimes individual items. Your local college at Spring break & Christmas break can be a big source of new things. They often throw away even their fancy clothes so they don't have to pack them. They throw away everything, of course lots don't think a thing of it as Mom & Da d are paying for it. The local area isn't so fun to do this anymore as the local churched starterd putting in huge dumpsters to gather the items now. The college had to pay too much extra to haul the trash away, so now people who need it can get it. Blessings,lisa

Yellow Litter Born August 3rd - Labrador Retrievers in Sabina, Ohio - Certainty Labradors
We have a litter of yellow pups that were born August 3rd. There are 3 males and one female. Dam is Morganstead Soleil. While she doesn't come from a fancy pedigree, Soleil is very birdy and a nice hunting Lab. She has produced several nice hunting Labs in her breeding career. Soleil is PennHip certified with her hips, is EIC clear, and has a normal CERF. Sire is Jamestowns Get Er Done Sam, a son of our HR Starquest Fredonia's Harry JH. Harry didn't start hunt test training til he was five and we retired him at 7 because of a shoulder injury. He comes from some of the best show lines in the country with Dickindall Arnold as a grandsire. He still gets to hunt and still has lots of drive even though he will be 10 next month. He has sired some really nice pups over the years, some of them hunt test contenders. His son Drake, HRCH UH Certaintys Duck Commander SH has accomplished these titles before the age of 2. We are very proud of him. Harry has passed this drive down to son, Sam. And even though his owners have not taken the hunt test path, the talent is there and sure to be there in this new litter of puppies. Sam's hips are certified Good with OFA. Pups will have dew claws removed, have first shots, and regular deworming treatments. $800.

Republican Congressman Ron Paul's supporters often cite his belief and knowledge of the U.S. Constitution as reasons for their cult-like support of him and his son, freshman Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
So what's the great Constitutional scholar up to now? Advocating nullification of parts of the Constitution by states that disagree with federal laws.
This regresses the nation back by nearly a half-century to the days of the Southern Manifesto, a racist document designed to allow states to avoid integration and civil rights. Nullification has also been used to fight slavery but I find it odd that a strict Constitutional advocate would push for support of only those parts of the document that fit with his philosophies.
Those who support nullification point to the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution to support their claim that states have the right to "nullify" laws. Constitutional law professors say otherwise.
Edward Lazarus, a lawyer, teacher of Constitutional law and columnist for FindLaw, writes:
At Best, Invoking Nullifcation Is Simply Grandstanding; At Worst, It Is a Troubling Sign of Turmoil and Discontent in the Face of a Frightening Recession
It is hard to know what to make of the fact that a bunch of opportunistic politicians are now holding out a tarnished artifact of constitutional history as a serious interpretation of the Constitution and of our national structure. Perhaps this can be written off as mere grandstanding – symbolic gestures by politicians who are hoping to tap into a potential backlash against the inevitable growth of the federal government as it comes to grips with our economic crisis.
But nullification is a deeply pernicious idea. It strikes at the core of the constitutional bargain that was struck after the Revolution when the Articles of Confederation failed – the working principle that we are all in this together and that the purpose of the federal government, a government in which every state is represented, is to calibrate the shared sacrifices that all of us will have to bear to preserve the country's economic vitality and help it prosper. In place of this unifying idea, nullification substitutes the easy way out – by making the claim that we must all be allowed to judge our own contribution and take our own path, no matter how much our cross-purposes and divergent interests might undermine the common good.
Ron Paul, who is not a Constitutional expert, sees things differently.
This is the same Ron Paul whose newsletters once published racist rants under his name — although he claims now he didn't write or approve the columns that ran with his by-line — and whose freshman Senator son said during last year's campaign that businesses that serve the public — like restaurants — should be able to ignore the law and refuse to serve minorities.
In a speech to a homeschooling rally, Paul told the faithful that "in principal, nullification is proper and moral and constitutional."
Added Paul:
The chances of us getting things changed around soon through the legislative process is not all the good. And that is why I am a strong endorser of the nullification movement, that states like this should just nullify these laws. And in principle, nullification is proper and moral and constitutional, which I believe it is, there is no reason in the world why this country can't look at the process of, say, not only should we not belong to the United Nations, the United Nations comes down hard on us, telling us what we should do to our families and family values, education and medical care and gun rights and environmentalism. Let's nullify what the UN tries to tell us to do as well.
In other words, if regressives like Paul can't get their way in Congress — and he seldom does — just ignore parts of constitution and returns to the days of the Old South when Alabama and other states thought slavery and repression was still legal in this nation.
This is typical for Paul, who has never strayed far philosophies of the past. And the comments of his son suggest Rand learned well from his dad's out-of-sync philosophies.
"If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be," said a column which appeared under Paul's name in 1992.
"Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the `criminal justice system,' I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal," said another column published under his name that same year.
This is why Ron Paul remains on the fringe with the vast majority of Americans. Despite lofty visions of his small — but vocal — army of supporters, he received just one-half of one percent of the vote as the Libertarian candidate for President in 1988 and trailed far behind the four remaining contenders for the GOP nomination for President when he finally gave up the ghost in 2008.
When he suspended his run for President, Paul diverted the $4.7 million raised from donation by the faithful to the Campaign for Liberty, one of Libertarian-leaning advocacy groups. This is also a familiar pattern for Paul. Ran a national Presidential campaign to raise money and then use the money for something else. While technically legal it does, in my view, raise questions about his honesty and true intentions.
Trying to find ways around the constitution is why George W. Bush left office as one of the most unpopular President in history. Paul vilifies the "establishment" politicians of other parties, but his advocacy of the nullification movement suggests he is just as hypocritical as the rest.

Bryionak. The subject of state's rights over the Federal mandates has been an argument found here for years. A literal reading of the 10th Amendment leaves many of us open to the idea that there are consequences to be considered when we do pass Amendments to the Constitution,
I became concerned when Gov. Bush of Texas ran his presidential campaign on an Amendment making it a federal offense to ban abortions, gay marriages, death with dignity and stem cell research. According to the law, each state had the responsibility to accept or ban any laws that were headed their way. I wondered at the time of the Civil Rights legislation whether this would work across America. I wanted this legislation and any legislation that would stop the beatings and killings of so many Americans, We always had Africa as a model of this racism being carried away. We also had the Middle East as a model of religious wars gone wrong, Fighting for freedoms is not an easy thing to do,
It is not the laws that cause trouble but the people involved who want restrictions, intolerance and a single form of American culture which demands leaning to the right of Jesus Christ, By the time a black American became the subject of a Presidential election, the people living in a state of racism, homophobia and even a left over of anti-Semitism were ready for action.
There are a number of members here who took me on on another forum when I asked them to describe exactly what American values they wanted. Of course it was the predominance of Christians and Willie Nelson fans. No artist made the list and certainly NPR was considered a waste of time and money. This argument of protecting American values became a war of color, religion, and even economics and anyone not part of the culture must not be financed either through loans or education scholarships. Trying to pinpoint where these values originated brought it back that all values come from God. Oh yes, I have no values and I should be banned from the site,
It will come down to the individual on what he/she believes is legal. If we elect Presidents who will amend the constitution, then the constitution has no value. I see no harm is allowing many states to simply drop out. Of course water source, roads airspace and border security will have to be redesigned and Social Security maintained on a voluntary contract,
The pull to ask the government to set up a safety net is too strong to debate it. To reeducate our families to live in a self chosen state of morality would never be accepted as responsibility so the government must set our rules. Until we rewrite our own laws and live by them, the federal government will tell us all we need to know to survive here.
The federal government has unlimited power and that is the end of the problem. The Bill of Rights offered us freedom choices but the American people showed no interest in that at all.
The Ron Paul supporters are right in their own stands on these issues but they never bothered to explain them to the loud voices of their promoters. Only a handful of voters saw these freedoms behind Paul but few of us bothered to sell them to others. Everyone here knows I tried with Perot and Paul and was labeled as deranged and old.
Lew Rockwell (LP) published a terrible article on Doug Thompson for daring to expose his opinion of Paul. Doug write about the weakness of Paul's backers. Instead of writing about Paul's agenda, Lew took on Doug. I discovered the weak key to Rockwell and he fought like a mother lion protecting her cub. I know Lew and Ron are old friends and by this time I figured he would stand up for Ron's agenda. Shooting down Doug is not the right way.
Doug Thompson is right whether anyone here likes it or not, The American people need guidance from heaven and hell to point them in the right direction. We elect terrible leaders and if you read more of Doug's words, you will see it is not he who screws up.
How about the millions of first-time voters (organized by Organizing for America) that streamed to the polls and voted for Obama for the sole reason that he is black? Does that make them any more informed than the ones that vote against for the same reason?
I've watched interviews with people after they proudly voted for Obama, and not a one could answer the simplest of political questions, such as who controlled the senate or who said what during the campaign. they couldn't even come up with one policy they liked about Obama. He just made them feel all gooey inside.
How about ACORN and the thousands of illegitimates?
Yeah ACORN. Wanna talk nuts? I just saw an interview on a Forbe's article detailing the last two years American average household wealth dropped by 23 percent.
But on the flipside, the wealth of billionaires grew by 25 percent.
There is no transfer of wealth going on. None whatsoever.
I could care less about all the philosophical issues being tossed around and like to get to some real basics.
We have a condo in Galveston Texas and as part of a complex of 276 units the property sustained about 5M in damages cfor Hurricane Ike – most of which have been impossible to recoup at this point. Why? The insurers just flat out refuse to pay forcing property owners into expensive litigation, arbitration or just frustration resulting in being low balled and accepting cents on the dollar. Magnify this by thousands of claims.
When the litigation issue first surfaced I contacted Paul's office twice and received no response. Why? This is basic "customer service" for a public official. I may not be a constituent of the Texas 14th but I am a property owner and taxpayer.
Barney Frank is my Congressman and I agree with BF about 1% of the time but if I have a question I get a response. Maybe someone in the Paul support group can explain this?
It's the little things in politics that make a difference.
I'm done, Doug.
How about the constitutional hipocrisy of Joe Biden? He's a former senator and current Vice-President by the way, for all you informed voters out there that may not know this.
In 2007, appearing on Hardball with tingly-legged Chris Matthews, Joe Biden said of George Bush…
"…the President has no constitutional authority, to take this nation to war against a country of 70 million people unless we're attacked or there is proof that we are about to be attacked. And if he does, if he does, I would move to impeach him.
The House actually has to do that, but I would lead an effort to impeach him. The reason for my doing that, I don't say it lightly, I don't say it lightly, I say it because they should understand, that what they were threatening, what they were saying, what was adding up to be, what looked like to the rest of the world what we were about to do, would be the most disastrous thing that could be done at this moment in our history that I can think of."
So I guess that only applies when we have a Republican President and we want to bomb a country with a population of 70 million.
Sorry Libya, you didn't pass constitutional muster on this one.
I've tried to take a broader view regarding the 10th Amendment. Can the states actually deny the mandates issued from the Federal Government? I remember the fight Utah had when the federal government issued a law against polygamy and insisted Utah outlaw this or not be accepted in the union. The solution should have been to remove the federal government from any involvement in issuing marriage licenses.
How can the federal government deny a marriage between two same sex Americans? How can the federal government issue a law against abortions? Who issued these authorities? I had to admit being shocked at the Supreme Court backing out of the Roe v Wade mess but felt that it was time the individuals involved needed to take the responsibility for or against abortions.
America has never needed laws to force citizens into anything. The laws are supposed to protect their decisions. If a family is basically Catholic then abortions are out of the question. Let the church take the action. If a child turns out to be gay then explain to the child that it is against religious rules and leave it there. We are at the point that these issues are now part of the campaigns This entire attitude is what caught my attention of Congressman Paul of Texas. He represented the limited government that appealed to me. I flew to Atlanta to meet and discuss these issues with him and a group of strong Republican politicians. I heard no strong appeal to keep the government out of our personal choices. It was as if these men were afraid to stand up for individual freedoms over the voice of an all mighty ghost who stood only behind Jesus Christ. I heard many excuses for this brand of freedom and I knew that there would never be a candidate who had enough respect for the American people to allow them to choose their own actions.
I ended up writing in P.J. O'Rourke's name. Have we Americans given away our right to choose our mates? our unwanted pregnancies? our right to die without pain? Orwell warned us it would take some brains to stand up for ourselves. Why? Why? Why?
The frustration of being unable to debate these things without a laugh track….Too much Lucy in our childhood? Before I left California I sat through a slap stick version of Don Giovanni complete with a kazoo when someone slipped on the stage. Too much Lucy in that production which meant little classic background in grand opera.
I have mentioned racism on this site because I have had thousands of discussions with my Republican political playmates over the years and was stunned to realize they would not vote for a black candidate. Almost from day one, his name was used to prove he was a Muslim. Fox and Rush picked this up and tried like holy hell to see him pushed out of the race.
There can be no doubt that the GOP will never accept a black person in our White House and for that I have lost all respect for all levels of the GOP. I remember the racist crap from Haley Barbour when he was head of the RNC. The Senators who followed who all stood firmly on the Bible when it came to gays and women in trouble. Christians all and full of hatred for people of color and women and gays in general. This is not representative of American values!
Without every single Americans sharing equal rights, there is no America! That is step one! Once that is established then we can argue over mandated federal laws being forced on individual states. Maybe some southern states will need to guarantee equal academics in their schools before accepting welfare for their residents. We have portions of places in America where kids still cannot read or learn a trade to support themselves. Cut these areas off of handouts and hand the people back to the state for retraining.
I'm with Paul on many of these ideas but it cannot be done over night. Paul has not been at it long enough to come up with alternative plans for gradually bringing in all Americans into the system of equality. Paul has surrounded himself with religious idiots who have only one action to get what they want. Prayer is not the answer. The solving of our natural disasters is not praying for forgiveness for whatever we did to deserve the oil gulf mess or the earthquakes or the hurricanes. Science is the answer and teaching survival skills to the people. The GOP wants revival meetings to solve our problems even when it means standing on a woman's head to shut her up at a demonstration. Put a laugh track behind that scene and you have Lucy acting like a silly fool. That is where America stand today.
Indeed. But they didn't use the term nullification, so it's okay.
I believe what the southern states did was secede from the union to form the Confederate States of America. But I could be wrong…
You're right. But, you see, if the breach between nullification=racism and secession=slavery happens then there is no more arguments. So those who direct opinions must insist on those two marriages or else they have no material. But then I think people see the term racism as meaningless since its been used to describe everything those opinion molders despise. When words have a thousand meanings, it has none.

Native American Indian Stories Told at Belle Isle Library
Adults and students of all ages are invited to hear Kricket Rhoads tell stories and customs of traditional Kiowa and Caddo tribes Saturday, Nov. 10, 11a.m. to Noon at the Belle Isle Library, 5501 N. Villa.
"We want to celebrate Native American Indian Month by hearing the history of a traditional Plains Tribe member of the Caddo Nation," said Belle Isle librarian Ann Meeks.
The Caddo tribe was historically woodland people and mound builders. And the Kiowa were southern plains people who followed the buffalo.
"One story Kricket tells takes place a long time ago when dogs could still talk, and would tattle about their owner's business," said Meeks.
"Kricket will also share, and involve the audience with, the songs, dance, language and signs of the Caddo and Kiowa," continued Meeks. "The interaction gives the audience a fun way to understand and appreciate the diversity and culture of American Indians."
Kricket will appear in her traditional Kiowa dress with her family's design.

When one considers holidays that involve candy, Halloween automatically springs to mind. What I've observed, as a mom acutely aware of candy consumption, is that Halloween is only one of many holidays that we celebrate that includes -- or even centers around -- consumption of sweets! But most are really not too difficult to take care of.
The most common "holiday" is of course a birthday -- not only the child's own birthday, but friends' or family members' too. Your child will be invited to their party, will want cake, and will likely receive some kind of "goody" bag, often including candy! Honestly, birthday cake and ice cream aren't too challenging for an experienced mom to handle. Because we eat them infrequently, I feel little guilt in letting James indulge in these yummy sweets when they're offered in a social setting.
Christmas and Valentine's Day also have a candy/goody component that we have to be careful to steer through with wisdom and moderation. We personally just try to be extra healthy and offer James's favorite noncandy foods to fill his stomach and offset the effects of sugar consumption. So far, we've been able to navigate these holidays without too much trouble.
Where we've really struggled -- and unquestionably my toughest candy holiday of all -- is actually Easter! Similar to our experience with Halloween, Easter wasn't an issue at first. When it became one, I tried substituting a basket full of candy with a basket full of stuff -- devoid entirely of candy! This wasn't a huge hit. So we fell to our third strategy, permitting the candy binge, like at Halloween, as our diabetes care team okayed.
One year I allowed James to eat as much candy on Easter morning as his little heart desired. This was not however, a similar experience to the one we had had at Halloween a few months earlier! The difference is, that Easter candy, unlike Halloween or Valentine's Day candy or even candy in a goody bag, is eaten first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. We've found the first meal of the day is notoriously difficult to dose correctly for, and eating candy (and essentially nothing else) led to dramatic and horrible blood sugar spikes.
So here's what we do now. We still allow for "bingeing," but we feed him an ultra hearty breakfast first. Then the kids get their Easter baskets and start indulging. The immediate result is that James' blood sugar rise is tempered by the fat and protein of his breakfast. (Again, this may not work for everyone, and we know we always need to check with our health-care provider about ideas like this and be vigilant about monitoring blood sugar.) The unintended but still very positive consequence is that he has little appetite for candy after such a hearty breakfast. So while he doesn't feel deprived, he also limits the amount of candy that he consumes!

Summary: Don't miss the beginning of the Karen Nash series with the charming first book, Killer Librarian , which Booklist praised as "engaging" and Library Journal called "a fun, gentle puzzler." FILE "M" FOR MURDER... Champion of the mystery section at a small-town Minnesota library, Karen Nash is about to embark on a dream trip to London-a literary tour inspired by every murderous intrigue, wily suspect, and ingenious crime found in the pages of the British mysteries that she devours. But she's clueless why the love of her mid-life, Dave, would dump her hours before takeoff-until she spies him at the airport with a young honey on his arm! She decides the best revenge (for now) is to get on that plane anyway...and entertain schemes for Dave's untimely demise while crossing the pond. After touching ground in the hallowed homeland of Christie, Sayers, and Peters, she checks into a cozy B & B run by charming bibliophile Caldwell Perkins. Soon she's spilling tears in her pint at the corner pub, sharing her heartbreak saga with a stranger. That night, a B & B guest drops out of circulation-permanently. And when Dave and his cutie turn up in London, Karen realizes they are an assassin's target. With the meticulous attention to detail that makes her a killer librarian, Karen sleuths her way through her own real-life mystery-in which library science meets the art of murder.

Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green Overcomes the Elements at Loretta's
Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green Overcomes the Elements at Loretta's
Irvine, Calif. (August 1, 2013)
– After only completing three motos on Wednesday morning at Loretta Lynn's Ranch, a massive thunderstorm hit which forced officials to delay racing for the majority of the day. Racing resumed on a muddy shortened track but that did not stop Monster Energy Kawasaki Team Green's Austin Forkner and Keith Johnson from dominating in the sloppy conditions to take wins in the Super Mini 2 (13-16) and Senior (40+) classes respectively.
As the rain continued to fall and racing delayed, the pits were a buzz of stories from yesteryears. Former Loretta Lynn's champions and Team Green riders Ryan Villopoto and Blake Baggett were on hand to tell of the mud races they endured. Villopoto and Baggett spent the day signing autographs for the many riders and fans and once racing resumed, Villopoto jumped up in the announcer's tower to help call the 250 A moto which was broadcasted live online.
"I don't ever remember it raining quite this much," said Baggett. "I had some of my best races in the mud here at Loretta's. It's actually easier to ride when its super soupy and wet because with the dirt here, once it starts to dry it gets so thick and heavy. The track workers did a great job of salvaging the track considering how swamped it was."

East Texas dairy farmers say they are already feeling the effects of the government shutdown. With Congress locked up over the budget, and with the debt ceiling deadline in a few weeks, Congress may not get to pass a new farm bill. The farm bill provides subsidies for dairy farmers who say without it, the price of milk could go up to seven or eight dollars a gallon.
The Myers family of Poco Loco dairy farm in the Grice community produce 7,200 pounds in milk every two days. But without government subsidies, they worry about the future.
"Its had an immediate impact here on us, a small local farm. Our local FSA office in Tyler is closed and we don't have support from that office," says Jennifer Myers.
If a new bill isn't signed by January first, the USDA will go back to a 1949 law compensating dairy farmers for production costs based on that era. What that means for you is that prices could skyrocket.
"We are pretty much at the mercy of the people that are going to pay us. We have no control over the milk price," says dairy farm manager Bear Vanderwier.
"Anytime our milk prices fall below a certain point, the government has been able to subsidize our income with payments, and now that has been shut off as well. It's going to make it very tough," Myers says.
Could $6, $7 or $8 a gallon for milk happen? It could have a profound impact on those with tight budgets.
"I'll become more conservative and perhaps buy it less often. We currently buy one gallon every two or three days. Now perhaps only a gallon a week," says consumer Deborah Lewis.
But there is no alternative.
"I am prayerful the government shutdown will end soon," Myers says.
The farm bureau says that without the new farm bill, you can expect to be hit with higher grocery prices starting in January.

New and improved may be fine for breakfast cereal, but Mike Bland tries to look beyond the bells and whistles when buying seed corn. "Yield is still my main priority," says the Bethany, Ill., farmer.
"The number of trait combinations and brands on the market today can make hybrid selection confusing," Bland says. "I study a lot of independent yield trials to sort through it. I like the added protection that traits offer, but I want them in addition to, not at the expense of, yield and profit."
The trend toward stacking biotech traits to package herbicide tolerance and insect protection continues in the product pipelines of biotech providers.
In 2010, the corn market became almost a pure genetically modified (GM) market. USDA's Economic Research Service reports that this past year, 86% of corn acreage was planted to GM varieties and half of that was devoted to "stacked varieties."
The list of shopping options grows in 2011 with an all-new multi-pest insect trait, a new blended refuge concept and the first hybrids bred to weather water stress hitting the market.
Choice is not the issue. Choosing is, and Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie says the 2010 growing season served up some reminders that corn traits are not foolproof, nor are traits guarantees of yield.
"In the past, the traits that helped protect roots were especially helpful when we got into drought summer situations," Ferrie says. "This past year, the problem was not so much drought as sustained, elevated nighttime temperatures. As a result, the plant spent a lot of energy respiring, rather than devoting that energy to the ear."
Producers eagerly adopted European corn borer (ECB)–resistant transgenic hybrids when they debuted in 1996. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)–enhanced crops also reduced pesticide use.
Research conducted by several Midwestern universities shows that suppression of ECB has saved $3.2 billion for corn growers in Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin during the past 14 years.
Comparable estimates for Iowa and Nebraska total $3.6 billion. In Illinois, ECB densities have reached historic lows and have many questioning if it should still be considered a pest.
Ferrie maintains that GM traits are as crucial today as ever, especially as secondary pests come into play. "Growers fighting corn earworm and western bean cutworm benefit from new technology because those pests are hard to monitor and spray for," he says.
Iowa State University agronomist Roger Elmore reminds growers that no two years are alike and the chance of choosing a high-yielding hybrid significantly increases if it has performed well across multiple sites and/or years.

can we reform the discussion surrounding gender inequality?
As of late, the gender discussion seems to dominate the mainstream discussion on social justice. The alarming trend that I have noticed is that it has become a real battle of the sexes where one side accuses the other of causing its demise, which means any progress for one gender is seen as a loss for the other. I am proposing that we start to reframe the gender debate in a way where we can honestly address issues faced by men without saying "men just don't have as bad", in a way where we can address female issues without saying "women complain too much, get over it.
We must remember that progress in gender justice is (or should be) a benefit for all not a sum zero battle. Often, we get caught up if tallying up a score on who has it worse, rather than finding ways to address issues for both sides, simultaneously.
What will you tell your sons or your daughters when they come to you for advice?

Jul 4 2012: If one cannot understand and accept the concept of wholeness within, then they are not able to reflect this acceptance outward. I believe for true change to occur, it begins with everyone individual understanding and accepting unity, as opposed to separateness. When one accepts and loves themselves this loving, accepting energy is carry forth from them. There are always going to be those who are not ready to accept this, that is OK. However, those who do, they must be the one to raise their voices for love, and acceptance of all; unity. Does this make sense?
Barry Palmer 100+
Jul 5 2012: I am not powerful enough to control others thoughts, nor do I want to. I Accept all. My purpose is to stand in my power and speak my truth, if my truth resonates with someone else this is great but not my purpose. My purpose is to connect to my heart and be true to myself and perhaps empower others through my process. In other words, by setting and example of self empowerment, speak from a space of acceptance,respect and honor. I feel it is a more powerful position, than trying to force,control, manipulate.....

CHICAGO (AP) - Marc Gasol had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and the Memphis Grizzlies used their stout defense to beat the Chicago Bulls 85-77 Friday night.
Mike Miller made four 3-pointers and finished with 14 points as the Grizzlies closed out a three-game road trip with their third victory in four games. Zach Randolph added 10 points and 11 rebounds after missing Memphis' previous game with the flu.
The Grizzlies shut out the Bulls after Taj Gibson's layup trimmed Memphis' lead to 81-77 with 3:15 to go.
Gibson had 18 points for Chicago, which had won 10 of 12. Playing with a sprained right thumb, Joakim Noah finished with 15 points, eight rebounds and six assists, but also had six of the Bulls' 13 turnovers.

DELAWARE - In the First State, a plan to improve school safety moves into its next stage of the planning process.
The Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security held a demonstration Wednesday at Polytech High School in Woodside, on the new web-based portal.
Officials say it will serve as an electronic storage unit for emergency plans, which they say will give emergency responders easier access to the information.

WASHINGTON — The setting was not unusual for a scholarly conference: a bland ballroom in a Houston hotel. But Willie Soon's presentation was anything but ordinary. As PowerPoint slides flashed on a screen, his remarks crescendoed into a full-throated denunciation.
"Those people are so out of their minds!'' exclaimed Soon, a solar researcher at the prestigious Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, in Cambridge. He assailed former vice president Al Gore, among others, for his views on climate change, calling predictions of catastrophic ocean tides "crazy'' and scornfully concluding: "And they call this science.''

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - A 14-year-old boy has been charged with bringing his grandfather's 9 mm handgun to his Kansas City charter school and showing it to classmates.
The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/W6XeIp ) reports that the juvenile unlawful use of a weapon charge was filed after officers arrested the boy Thursday morning.
Police said students who saw the gun went to an assistant principal. After the boy was removed from class, the assistant principal asked to search his backpack. The administrator called police when the boy moved the backpack behind him.
A police report says officers searched the backpack. Inside a pocket, they found an unloaded semiautomatic Glock 19 and a magazine loaded with 13 rounds.
The boy told police he was having problems with a classmate and began carrying the gun for protection.

Rovner Dark Baritone Saxophone Ligature And CapThe Rovner Dark offers the free-blowing performance of a string ligature with the convenience of a standard screw ligature. Rubberized polyester fabric and machined brass hardware.Rovner Ligatures also greatly improve reed playability. Reeds that are totally unplayable on other ligatures will often perform well with the Rovner. The ability of the Rovner Ligature to extend reed life is unparalleled. More rigid ligatures actually hammer the cane fibers during vibration, eventually destroying the reed's tonal vibrancy. Not so with Rovner; most players find their reeds will play until the tips finally succumb to fatigue and fall apart!Selecting A Rovner LigatureDue to the design of the Rovner ligatures, they fit a wide range of mouthpieces. The above descriptions are general but are accurate for MOST mouthpieces. For more exact information regarding sizing, please follow the MORE INFO link above to read the sizing chart designed by Phil Rovner.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I use this ligature with my Selmer C* mouthpiece, and it's perfect for any classical or concert band playing. Unlike a metal ligature, the Rovner controls the sound quite a bit, a necessity of classical saxophone playing. This ligature makes it easier to play at much quieter dynamic levels, even down to the lowest notes on the bari. Excess brightness of tone is taken away, and even the palm key notes and altissimo register notes sound rounded out and full rather than shrill and thin. The downside of this ligature is that it makes higher dynamics harder to play, making it less useful for jazz playing.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

The past few days have been wedged with work. A new book on the Gnostic gospels has been engaging most of my attention. Among the other, far less interesting tasks, was the trial of reading one of the hottest books on the market.
I have to confess that, despite all of the hoopla surrounding Dan Brown's 2003 blockbuster novel The Da Vinci Code, I had studiously avoided reading it. While I'm usually quick to check out whatever has become the latest hot topic in popular culture (don't get me started on the grueling effort it took to watch the first seasons of both Survivor and American Idol), in this case was hard pressed to care. After reading several reviews it was quickly apparent to me that Brown's book was nothing more than a warmed over, fictionalized version of Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a work I had read in 1989 or 1990 (the memory, thankfully, has faded with time). I had no time for rehashing old fairytales, so I eagerly passed and assumed that in time the interest level would fade.
Boy, was I wrong. The Da Vinci Code continues to come up in conversation after conversation, with even seasoned Christians asking me what I think of the outlandish claims that Brown and his characters make. In the wake of Brown's success, publishing houses have gone spawned waves of books either extolling or damning the background to The Da Vinci Code. I must confess that my own humble work-in-progress would not have been likely had not the publisher seen the possibility of grabbing a piece of Da Vinci pie.
In one sense, I'm delighted. I've never had quite so good a reason to stroll into metaphysical bookstores and strike up conversations with complete strangers. Gnosticism has become a hot commodity. Harold Bloom may very well be right in calling it "the American religion", for it certainly seems to strike a chord in our self-involved, authority-allergic age. At long last, a way to remake Christianity into a cult of self-knowledge as divine knowledge. I wouldn't be half so concerned if it wasn't that the typical evangelical is already mired in a kind of self-referential spirituality. It's only a short hop-skip-and-jump from where we are to where Valentinus, Basilides and Marcion still hold court.
This week is all about the 'detailed book outline' (dum-dum-dummmmm!), but I'm hoping to get around to continuing the urban ascetic line of thought. Also, I'm sneaking in snatches of William Cavanaugh's Theopolitical Imagination, which is very stimulating. I'd love to get some reaction to a few of the juicier bits.
One thought I'll throw out right away; is a poor theology of sacrament, particulary the Eucharist, to blame (entirely or in part) for the inability of evangelicals (in the United States, to be specific) to resist being coopted by the dominant cultural and political values in American life? I'll try to find a clearer way of expressing that once I have more than a few free moments.

SCHOFIELD, WI (WSAU) - An area manufacturing firm has won statewide recognition... again. Greenheck Fan Corporation has been named Wisconsin Manufacturer of the Year for 2012, which they also won back in 2004.
Spokesman Jim McIntyre is proud of the company's accomplishments. "We are once again honored to receive the Manufacturer of the Year Award for the Mega category. That's just another affirmation of the strong values of the Greenheck group."
Greenheck Fan won the award in the Mega category for manufacturers with over 750 employees.
McIntyre believes their success during a less-than-perfect economy has been with developing new product lines and markets. "We continue to be a progressive company in terms of product launches and innovations and again, that is a lot in part due to Bob Greenheck."
He says the award recognizes businesses for their products and services, and also for what they give back to the community. "Many, many of our employees are involved in schools, and Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts, and many other non-profit and school associated ventures."
Greenheck Fan Corporation employs about 2,500 people overall, with nearly 1,700 of those employees in Wisconsin. Most of them are at the Schofield facilities.
The accounting and advisory firm of Baker Tilly, the law firm of Michael Best & Friedrich LLP, and the business association Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce sponsor the MOTY awards program.

PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona Republican lawmakers say privately minted gold and silver coins should be considered legal tender.
The bill advanced in a 4-2 vote by a House committee Monday states that gold and silver is money and therefore shouldn't be subject to tax or regulation as property.
Proponents say the value of the dollar is on the decline. Businesses wouldn't be required to accept gold or silver under the bill.
Democrats oppose the measure. They say it would be a bureaucratic nightmare because businesses don't have the equipment to determine the value of gold and silver.
They also say the measure is Arizona's latest jab at the federal government, which prohibits states from minting their own money.
The bill passed in the Republican-led Senate in February in a 17-11 vote.

Guy Fieri just can't catch a break this week. Not only did the Food Network personality, who looks like what would happen if a member of the Insane Clown Posse forgot to put on their makeup but definitely remembered to go shopping at Hot Topic, get slammed by the New York Times in their review of his new Times Square restaurant a scathing critique that went viral and forced the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host to go on the defense causing droves of people to eat there out of morbid curiousity, but he also can't even make the grade as a Saturday Night Live parody anymore.
As expected, cast member Bobby Moynihan pulled out his brilliant, spot-on imitation of the ""celebrity"" ""chef"" in the wake of the Fieri takedown. But rather unexpectedly, the appearance was nowhere to be seen. Moynihan played Fieri for a Weekend Update bit during the Jeremy Renner-hosted episode over the weekend, but the moment didn't make it to air. Luckily for Fieri fans everywhere (ironic or otherwise), NBC has released the dress rehearsal sketch online and the laughs and one-liners are completely full throttle.
How or why this was cut during a week in which the entire Internet collectively gathered to make fun of him was baffling (as was the decision to cut a bona fide crowd pleaser during a very rocky episode), especially when it featured some new Fieri-inspired catch phrase gems like: ""Reading is how the eyes eat!"", ""I look like I'm playing the sun in a school play,"" ""If you come in expecting Le Cirque, than you're a la jerk."" While this appearance wasn't nearly as strong as some of Moynihan's older attempts, it's not nearly as bad as ""comparing apples and fat dirt.""
Watch it below! Full throttle!
