No Merger of Equals for US Airways
Alexander is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
It's no secret that US Airways (NYSE: LCC) is aiming to buy bankrupt American Airlines. In a conference call management did not want to answer merger related questions but it became the prime topic of the discussion anyway. And it makes sense why so many people would care. This would be one of, if not the biggest, events in US Airways history. But as much as the discussion is being phrased as a takeover over American, this is not meant to be a situation where US Airways gains the upper hand.
The wave of mergers
In the past several years we have seen the number of competitors in the airline industry shrink dramatically. However in each case, the acquiring company's name survived and the operations were mostly run by the acquiring airline. United's acquisition of Continental may be considered an example where the acquired airline retained a larger degree of control, but this is out of the norm for airline mergers.
The United Continental (NYSE: UAL) merger is the closest to a merger of equals, but most other acquisitions follow the pattern of a larger, more prosperous airline taking control of a smaller weaker airline. This follows the typical takeover position where a larger company pays a premium to purchase a smaller company, a pattern particularly in focus for the Southwest and SkyWest deals. For US Airways, the outcome would be very different from this pattern; however, shareholders could still benefit in the long run.
Who's controlling who?
In most of the scenarios above, the larger carrier took over the smaller carrier. But for a US Airways American merger the reverse would be true. American Airlines is larger than US Airways by almost every measure, however American is for sale due to its bankrupt position.
It appears the starting offer from US Airways is a 30 percent stake for US Airways shareholders and a 70 percent stake for American Airlines stakeholders. While this deal itself shows the control American would exert over the combined entity, American could wind up with an even larger stake. American Airlines CEO Tom Horton has stated that American's stakeholders should have at least 70 percent and some creditors are discussing up to 80 percent. Based on these proposed stakes and the size of each airline, it becomes clear American's stakeholders would be in effective control of the combined airline; however, there is a significant chance it would be run by US Airways management.
In addition, the US Airway's name would go the way of the Northwest Airlines name and the combined entity would take the name American Airlines. But while the US Airways name may no longer exist, US Airways shareholders would find themselves part owners of the world's largest airline. The US Airways proposal put the value of the combined airline at $8.5 billion, about $500 million larger than United Continental's market capitalization and roughly $1.5 billion less than Delta's. The following table breaks down the value of US Airways shares at various deal amounts assuming an $8.5 billion combined value.
Calculations based on 162.4 million shares outstanding
It is quite reasonable to expect that US Airways will not be willing to settle for an amount that reduces the value of the shares meaning the final deal would likely be closer to the 30/70 split. Creditors of American Airlines calling for a 20/80 split are unlikely to get their wish as US Airways would balk at such an offer. But with a trend of airline consolidation and US Airways eager to merge, the airline is likely to be taken over and American Airlines seems like the most suitable partner.
The question then becomes how well the merger can be executed. While the United Continental merger has been widely criticized, the Delta Northwest merger had better (but not perfect) execution and has served as a role model for other large airline mergers. US Airways feels a merger is needed to compete effectively against a larger United and Delta, but management at American has not been as eager. Some proposals have included emerging as a stand alone airline and then buying US Airways, a scenario where it is uncertain exactly what US Airways shareholders would receive. But no matter which of the current merger scenarios plays out, it is clear in the event of a merger the surviving name will be American Airlines and American's stakeholders will have a majority of the merged airline.

Beginning July 7, developmental (remedial) math courses 950, 955, and 960, will be separated from college mathematics, into their own department. It is also consistent with the National Association of Developmental Education (NADE) requirements for certification of various developmental programs at Weber State University, which Weber has been pursuing the last couple of years. The 2007-08 academic year will be a transition year for the separation of the mathematics department and the Developmental Mathematics Program. Dr. John Thaeler will serve as interim chair of the new program and Dr. Kent Kidman will assist in the transition. "Students at Weber come unprepared for college math," said Dr. Kent Kidman, head of the math department. "Whether because of the nationalschool district standards which only require two years of math in secondary grades, lapse of many years since last math classes there is a high decay rate: when you don't use it you lose it or as an older student with less of a foundation in Math, there is need for greater focus on the developmental classes." College of Science Dean Dr. Dale Ostlie said he believes that Weber State will join the national community of researchers studying the need and facilitation of developmental math programs. "It is anticipated that with Weber State's unique complement of a large student population requiring developmental mathematics coursework," Ostlie said, "and the presence of research faculty with expertise in educational theories and practices in higher education, we can be a significant contributor to the national dialogue and growing body of carefully validated research in developmental education in math."

A homemade craft sale was held Wednesday in the northeast lobby of the building. Dozens of people showed up to the sale, opening their hearts and their checkbooks for a good cause. "We've had a pretty good morning," said Cindy Meyer, who helped organize the event. "By 9:45 we had already sold about three-fourths of the stuff." Meyer said that in addition to purchasing crafts, many people had simply donated money. "Several people have been very generous," Meyer said. "One lady had a purchase of maybe $30 and wrote a check for $100." Weber State University employees and students, along with members of the community, donated the crafts for the event. Everything from hand-painted dinner plates to felted purses and ornate wall hangings were sold at the event. Several baked goods were also donated.

Retail food services will be unavailable July 2-6 while facilities are changed over. During this time Sodexho will provide a complimentary snack bar and beverages. Retail food services will reopen July 9. By Misty Evans and Molly Bennett staff The Signpost Culinary change is in progress at Weber State as the university switches food providers from Chartwells to Sodexho. Bill Massullo has worked as the site general manager of Sodexho for one week. I Ie said he learned that the word "Sodexho" is an acronym for a French phrase which, loosely translated in English, means "a company of service and hospitality." "I am hoping to make an impact from a food stance," Massullo said. He is looking forward to the new food facilities once the Shepherd Union Building is finished, which he toured last week. Massullo's background includes working in a high vegan and vegetarian population. He said regarding the new menu that he is an advocate of fresh and healthy. He said he is open to new ideas regarding what food Sodexho will offer and is susceptible to change according to what people want. On June 29, the food area at the Student Union was closed, yet the area was full of people sitting around tables filling out forms. Some of the people at the tables were familiar faces that had worked at-Chartwells; many have agreed to stay at WSU and work for Sodexho. Massullo was sitting at a small table, interviewing a prospective employee. "We are really busy just trying to get everyone hired," Massullo said, "All weekend we will be here. Sodexho is hiring almost everyone who worked for Chartwells, and so they have to fill out the appropriate paperwork and we have people coming in to be interviewed." According to Massullo, the positive aspect of hiring employees that have worked here previously is that they are familiar with the facility and the people. The negative aspect is yet to be seen. Andrew Fuchs worked as the catering director for Chartwells. He has been involved with making the transition smooth. "The contract is over and so we are See food page 5 i Hybrid made at Weber State University races to world record Ford escort-turned hybrid by WSU CEET department boasts current speed record By Jestina Clayton sr. news reporter The Signpost A Ford Escort, modified by WSU's Computer and Electronics Engineering Technology Department (CEET) and made a hybrid, will compete against Honda and Toyota hybrids in the Bonneville Salt Flats hybrid race on August 8. The Escort was one of 35 vehicles that Ford donated in 1992 to universities around the country to encourage student competition in creating fuel efficient vehicles. The modification of the Escort to a hybrid was part of a senior project that was done by 12 students and three faculty members in the CEET department. "The students were very creative and came up with an ingenious technology," said CEET Department Chairman and program adviser Bill Clapp. "Ford recognized that and gave them first place." Clapp was one of the faculty members involved in the project. Clapp said he wanted to display the car at the end of die project but the dean of CEET told him "to get rid" of the Escort. Clapp said he put the first 5000 miles on the Escort when he drove it around to universities in Utah and a college in Wyoming, for educational purposes. In 2001, WSU sold the Escort to Brent Singleton who later drove the car to win the world land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats hybrid race. This year, Singleton will drive the Escort to maintain the car's world speed record. Singleton, who is now the Alternative Fuel Events Coordinator for Bonneville Salt Flats, went on to add wind and solar power to the Ford, which he aptly named a "quadbrid." Singleton said the Escort is fuel-efficient because it gets power from four sources. "I always wanted my first car to not only be environmentally friendly, but fast," Singleton said. Singleton said his father bought the car for him while he was in high school. He said the Escort, using both solar and wind power, recharged while he was in his high school classes. Singleton said he is concerned about air quality, the environment and health-related issues, and he said he wants to reduce the emissions that he puts in the air. In June this year, a company called Utah Vital Signs released the results of a nine-month study that measures Utah's environmental footprint. Sandra Mclntyre, director of Utah Vital Signs, said, "The state has gone into ecological deficit." The study, which looked at data from 1993 through 2003, concluded that Utahns use 1 1 percent more natural resources than the average American. A tax credit to consumers who buy hybrids is one way that some in Congress are seeking to address concerns for the environment. Senators Orrin Hatch, Barrack Obama, and Maria Cantwell introduced an energy bill that would provide tax breaks for consumers who buy hybrid cars, and vehicles that can run on bio-diesel.

NASA awards grant to VIS'J BrCt 35SGT Assistant professor John Armstrong of the WSU physics department was recently the recipient of two research grants. The grants were awarded by the NASA-run Mars Data Analysis Program and will fund two projects led by Armstrong. One grant will help Armstrong, along with undergraduate students from WSU, in analyzing data from spacecrafts to try to determine possible locations for water on Mars. The other grant will fund the development of software to modelplanetsaround stars outside of the solar system. Current software programs are difficult to use and require extensive training to operate. Armstrong hopes to create a more user-friendly program.

For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Alabama School Superintendent Tommy Bice says the Alabama Department of Education has been in contact with the U.S. Department of Justice which has questions about the passage of HB 84, or the Alabama Accountability Act.
Bice says the questions specifically focus on the provisions of the act that allow schools to reject students transferring from failing schools.
"They're very interested in the final passage of this bill" Dr. Bice told the State Board of Education during a work session.
Bice said his conversations with the Justice Department specifically focused on the amendment to the law that lawmakers approved on the final day of the legislative session that allows all schools to reject students attempting to transfer from failing schools.
"That has raised a huge red flag with the justice department" Bice said.
Governor Bentley signed the act into law on March 14, after a two week delay due to a lawsuit alleging that the Alabama legislature broke its own rules to pass the bill. The Alabama Supreme Court eventually threw out a lower court's temporary injunction, sending the bill to the governor's desk.
Most recently the Alabama Legislature rejected proposed changes to the law proposed by Governor Bentley. Those changes would have placed a two year delay on tax credits given to families of children in failing schools to attend different public or private schools.
State Board of Education Member Dr. Charles Elliott was also critical of the Accountability Act during the meeting. "They [the republicans] didn't write this. They didn't go home and write this on their laptop."
No member of the board spoke up in defense of the law.
Bice claimed that he informed top state officials and lawmakers of his conversations with the Justice Department. However, representatives of Gov. Robert Bentley, Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard, and Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh all said they had no knowledge of Bice's communications with Washington.
In a statement released late Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Bice attempted to clarify his statements saying, "The contact with USDOJ can be characterized as a discussion with associated counsel, preliminary in scope, of the Alabama Accountability Act and its potential impact on local desegregation orders. Since final passage of the Amendment to the Act, there have been no further discussions with USDOJ. "
In related news, Bice announced that the Department of Education would release its list of "failing schools" according to the new law, on June 13.
Bice reiterated that the amendment to the law gave him additional discretion in determining if a school is failing. He said he will not put a school on the list that has shown improvement in recent years, even if the school falls directly under the definition of the law.
The definition of a failing school that lawmakers approved was completely different than the one they approved in a new school grading system in 2011, and different than the definition currently used by the State Department of Education.
Dr. Bice said he expected around 90 schools to be on the failing schools list.

The League of Cincinnati Theatres LCT) continues its program of recognition for 2011-2012 theater productions with recently announced awards for productions of As You Like It at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and Gruesome Playground Injuries at Know Theatre of Cincinnati. Nine shows have now been handed awards by panels of informed theatergoers.
My Curtain Call column about Know Theatre of Cincinnati from Wednesday's edition of CityBeat was incomplete, since Artistic Director Eric Vosmeier was still wrestling for the rights to several shows. The picture is more sharply in focus today with the big announcement that Know will present the regional premiere of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, which will wrap up the 2011-12 season between March 31 and May 12.
This weekend one of the finest actors in our area, Bruce Cromer, will conclude a run in A Man for All Seasons at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. He's handling the heady, demanding role of Sir Thomas More in Robert Bolt's 1962 Tony Award winning play. Cromer makes him witty, caring, sharp and cantankerous, an admirable verbal combatant — ultimately more fearful of being unfaithful to his conscience than to his king. It's a tour-de-force performance, worthy of praise wherever it might be presented. (Read my full review here.)
A lot more than actors go into making a play come to life onstage — lights, sound, scenery, props, dressers and so on. These are part of the rehearsal process, of course, but they get their final tweaks during technical rehearsals, an aspect of production that audiences seldom get to see. Sure, it might take away a bit of the magic, but in truth, it takes a special kind of magic to make these things happen — and you have a chance to do see how its done on Sunday afternoon at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park during a free "open tech rehearsal" of the upcoming Shelterhouse production of Shakespeare's As You Like It.
If your aspirations include playwriting, New Edgecliff Theatre is offering a weekend intensive playwriting workshop for anyone age 16-22 — from beginners who have never dabbled in playwriting, to professionals wanting to get back to the basics. Catie O'Keefe, a professional playwright who is NET's playwright-in-residence, will lead the workshops.
The Manhattan Dolls will make a one-night tour stop at Know Theatre on Sunday evening at 7:30, performing their Swing-style revue of tunes from the 1930s and 1940s, "Sentimental Journey," in the Over-the-Rhine theatre's Underground cabaret space. The trio of singers from New York City travel the world performing for military events, air shows, award ceremonies, parades, Jazz clubs and concert series.
Stephen Schwartz is well known in the world of musical theater as the composer of Wicked, the mega-hit Broadway musical that's been running since 2003 (more than 3,200 performances to date). But he started his career a long time ago, composing the music for Godspell way back in 1971. At the age of 24, he followed Godspell with another hit, the 1972 musical Pippin (which ran for five years, nearly 2,000 performances). It's the season opener in a three-weekend run at Covington's Carnegie Center beginning Friday.

Their presentation is pure PERFECTION! The salad with cranberry dressing and add on some shrimp is to die for and so was the salmon! Gorgeous, like out of a magazine! Fabulous! Their service is the BEST!!! Fit for kings and queens!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced and overratedMikeDined on 9/26/2014My husband and I usually splurge when we are on a getaway weekend, but this was not worth it. Our bill was $178.90 (tip extra) for food and service that was not outstanding. The bread and water server was very friendly and attentive. The bus boy also did a great job. Our waiter was training someone and it took too long to get our second drinks. In the end, it's all about the food which was just okay. If we go back to Wayne, we would try somewhere else.Special Features:
- DisapointmentDisapointmentDined on 9/26/2014Have been to the Paramour in the past & found it quite lovely. However, our experience on 9/26 was disappointing to say the least. The delicious food was the only savings grace. We sat at our table for at least 20 minutes before a server approached. He was gracious, apologized profusely & brought us a complimentary cocktail. After knocking over a full glass of water and moving my date to the opposite side of the table, I asked for another glass of water, and 15 mn later, had to ask again. Our candle was never lit so I switched one out from another table. Although the server remained attentive and apologetic, we sat for what seemed a longer than normal amount of time waiting for our dinner to arrive.Special Features:
- Nice food & decorMypm8Dined on 9/25/2014This restaurant is well located in Wayne. It's perfect for celebrating a special occasion, good service (a little bit slow) friendly. N ice decor and bar. Good food but bit overpriced. We recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing Brunch!austhakeDined on 9/21/2014I initially wanted to come here for dinner but couldn't make it so instead I went for the weekend brunch and it was spectacular. I got the french toast and it was probably the best I've ever had. What made the experience even better was the selection of chef's appetizers we could grab while waiting for our food. Would recommend this place to anyone and am hoping to come back for dinner or another brunch!Special Features:
- good food but terrible experienceCorporateDinerDined on 9/17/2014We recently hosted a dinner with 2 people from our very important customer and were having an enjoyable dinner until the end. After paying the bill, the manager of the restaurant came back to our table and asked if everything was fine. We said yes. He then announced then "why did you only leave a 10% tip?" We explained that the "payer" was from Europe and not familiar with tipping policies in the USA. The manager then said he would like to increase it to 18%. To avoid any further embarrasement, we quickly agreed. However, this has had a lasting impression on us as well as our customer. This was totally classless and quite embarassing for us. Our company and the customer's company have used this place in the past - but never again!
- Service ruined everythingFoodiesx2VIPDined on 9/17/2014Went for a very special evening. Took a very long time to get a drink on the veranda. Then once we went inside to dine, service got worse. Server literally NEVER approached the able after taking our order (underlings actually serve the food). We had to motion to another server or a bus person to get our server for another drink etc. Food was OK. Pork tenderloin had LOTS of gristle. The red kurri soup however was rich and delicious. Bread was quite ordinary - room temp - hard. We will give it another try - but only one. In addition - they charged us for a more expensive grey Goose when my husband had ordered a less expensive Beefeater.Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014I was quite disappointed in the rather slow service, despite there only being a few people in the restaurant. The food was delicious but overpriced. The drinks were way overpriced and neither I nor my girlfriend enjoyed ours much at all.Special Features:
- Need to try againOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/13/2014My wife and I went for dinner. We typically go for a nice dinner at a steak house and wanted to try Paramour. Bar had a great ambiance as did the restaurant. My wife's steak was very rare, she ordered medium-well and it came out rare. Sent it back, for it to come back medium-rare. I like mine medium-rare, but she does not. when it came out the 3rd time it was well done and like leather. Cooking a steak is pretty simple, I expect errors at a chain restaurant but not somewhere we're paying $400 all-in for a nice dinner. I'd go back and give them another try because the place is nice, and local. I had the porterhouse pork chop with lentils which was excellent.I would recommend this to a friend.
- food & serviceHombre6Dined on 9/13/2014The food was fantastic and the service was superb. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu and the evening specials. We look forward to returning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a perfect birthday here!NewZagats2VIPDined on 9/12/2014It is so perfect! Romantic and usually impeccable! Celebrated my birthday with Leonel, and dressed to the nines!… we ate 6 courses! Each, were absolutely fantastic :-) The seafood flatbread, the figs and burrata, the pear poached salad, oysters, the scallops, and the peach pie dessert! SO PERFECT!!! Thank You, Paramour!! Even the bread and the bottled water are extra great! We requested a booth. I prefer the middle booth, but we keep getting the one on the end, for more privacy and less privacy. There was a camera above, so we were given royal treatment for service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousBeberDined on 9/12/2014The food was just outstanding and the service perfect, the decor classical classy. A gem in the area, a place we go back with so much pleasureSpecial Features:
- Great New Chef at ParamourPRCluvfdVIPDined on 9/12/2014We were thrilled with the changes at this favorite spot of ours that was in need of some changes. No disappointments any longer with the much needed change in the kitchen, which was quite apparent under the direction of a new chef with the innovative and delicious, spot on preparations in all three categories of appetizers, entrees and desserts. Many great bites with the Tuna Tartare and Dover Sole taking center stage for their exquisite preparations. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was perfect. Don't miss this Main Line gem that is too good not to go to!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great lunchJudieDined on 9/8/2014Lunch on the porch of Paramour was just delightful. Seafood salad is my favorite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/5/2014Good food. Very fresh. Very creative as well. The restaurant Makes customer needs a priority. Excellent choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and AmbianceLarryTDined on 8/31/2014We dined on a Sunday with another couple. Two of us got the Sunday 3- course special. The other two opted for the scallops. Salads were very good, though a few leaves were a bit wilted. The main course was presented artistically and the food was excellent. Meal sizes were moderate so you could enjoy the appetizer and dessert and still be able to walk. The dessert was very ample and easily shareable. Paramour was busy but not fully booked. The noise level was perfect for carrying on a conversation without shouting. Decor was classicly modern in an old hotel - lots of charm. Service was friendly and efficient - nothing lacking. Overall, a great dinner in a relaxed atmosphere.Special Features:
- Worth Another Visit!realtor4lifeDined on 8/31/2014Came here for Sunday Brunch meeting family from across town. A pure delight! Décor was lovely, apparently the Wayne Hotel was redecorated in the past couple of years! Bright, open and clean and elegant, all at the same time! Nice open appetizer bar to accompany your brunch meal choice along with a bloody Mary bar, should you wish. Food presentation was beautiful and taste just the same! I would go back again and would love to try this spot for dinner!Special Features:
- casually elegantyumyumDined on 8/28/2014the beautiful evening certainly added to the overall dining experience. The service was attentive but allowed us to linger. The food was very good It is traditional american nicely done with good portions. A bit overpriced but you are probably paying for the "name".Special Features:
- Fine B-day DiningNewZagats2VIPDined on 8/27/2014Went here w/ Jerry for a dual birthday. Very happy w/ the peach salad, corn soup, + halibut, complimentary homemade cookies for b-days, I loved the rhubarb sorbet, that has ginger :-) But, I asked for a black napkin, and forgot to bring it, so I ruined my very fancy dress!! :-( No matter how many times I tried to clean it with seltzer water, to get out the oil marks, it did not work! :-( If only he had brought out my napkin! It was the first time I had ever worn this dress and now it was ruined! I could not help but feel that he was not as attentive as all the other servers we have always had, who were outstanding! The food was excellent but they lost my vote of complete perfection. Expensive,mistake!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful Place!VickieGDined on 8/24/2014Went to Paramour for dinner on a Sunday night and it was a nice experience. It was very busy on the patio, but I sat inside and had a very quiet dinner. Great neighborhood gem!Special Features:
- Service not great on this visitBrianVIPDined on 8/24/2014Wife and I had brunch there on Sunday because the brunch was decent when we dined there the day after we got married. Waitress never checked on us after taking our order. The next time we saw her was after the food came although she visited nearby tables several times. She didn't even glance our way when I tried to get her attention. After gave me cold ketchup after I requested ketchup for my eggs.Special Features:
- PHENOMENAL!!! :-)NewZagats2VIPDined on 8/22/2014Best Restaurant for a FOODIE!!! :-) Romantic, perfect, and PHENOMENAL! It's the kind of place you can go to propose! The FOOD is PERFECT! Peach salad and the fruita del mar flatbread and the scallop entree, and this is the current summer menu! It keeps changing! Always to DIE FOR, though!! LOVE It! And all of the servers and the presentations are PERFECTION! O:-)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GourmetBarryVIPDined on 8/22/2014Food was outstanding. Truly gourmet - especially the halibut. Waiter was very nice as well. Took a long time to get our main dish, but we were okay with that.Special Features:

- Very enjoyableMarianDined on 8/16/2014We had a wonderful experience at Paramour. Food was delicious (especially the mussels frites) and the service was great. We will return. We loved it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden gem in the Wayne HotelOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/16/2014Although on the more expensive side, we believe the quality of food and service makes this a great value for special occasions.Special Features:
- Always a good experienceTwoFoodiesVIPDined on 8/9/2014We had an early Saturday dinner reservation. We were the only diners in our section for most of the meal. The service, as always, was very good, and the food was excellent. Paramour is one of our favorite restaurants, and have recommended it to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely Place - Lousy FoodJudeDined on 8/7/2014Outdoor dining and service was great! Drinks perfectly prepared. Was very excited about the possibility of a great new place to dine. Then the food came. The oysters were six TINY "Jersey" oysters. Tasty but barely there. The dinners - inedible. Neither of us ate more than a few bites of our dinners. The Spaghetti Chittara was a clump of stuck together pasta floating in a pool of oil. Disgusting to look at and to eat. You could actually pick the whole clump of pasta up with your fork! So for 2 drinks each, splitting the oysters, my pasta/no salad first -- my friend had two appetizer's as her dinner. No dessert, just a cup of coffee ... The bill was $140.00 not including the tip!! Outrageous! Terrible dinner. Might go back just for drinks.
- Enjoyed our DinnerWestChesterDinerVIPDined on 8/5/2014First meal at Paramour. 5:30 reservation meant they were not too busy. Shared the shrimp & artichoke flatbread which was tasty but probably too large for an appetizer for just 2 visits, would skip that unless dining with a larger group. I had the corn soup which was very good and also quite large. I also had the hamachi crudo which was fabulous. My husband said his halibut was very good. The mussels small plate had a very nice broth with Andouille sausage. The mussels themselves were on the small side and unexceptional.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/29/2014Very good, imaginative, and attractively presented food. New waitress needed more training - really, really green.Special Features:
- Sunday Supper!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/27/2014The Prix Fixe Sunday Supper option was a great find! The food and service were fantastic, and the three courses were regular-sized - not smaller like some prix fixe deals. We will go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great job for our special eventRGWolfDined on 7/26/2014We were very pleased overall. Service was outstanding. Attentive to our needs - especially our special request.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent -- As Always ...TechvestcoVIPDined on 7/26/2014We spend a lot of time in Wayne and Paramour. The food is superb and the service is excellent. If you want a really fine dining experience, this is it. Eating on the porch in the summer is a special treat. They have really perfected the dining experience over the years. You will see me there again -- and again. There are very few restaurants in the area -- or the region for that matter -- that compare to Paramour. Why the hell would anyone drive downtown when we have a such a gem in the neighborhood. Had dinner there twice in a week and both times everything was perfect.Special Features:
- Food could be better.FoodieVIPDined on 7/24/2014I've now been to Paramour 3 times; once for dinner and twice for lunch. Dinner was nice, except they put a huge table in the center of the dining room for a loud party, so we couldn't hear each other at our table because of the noise. My recent lunch was simply a cheese burger & side salad. The burger was very good; the salad was dressed with an oily and too salty dressing. All in all, a bit too expensive for food that is just not good enough.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, bad serviceBarLuccaVIPDined on 7/23/2014Our server, Vincent, was terrible. After bringing us the wrong drinks, he disappeared for 35 minutes without even taking our food order. We finally had to go up to the hostess and ask her to find him for us. This is our second time having him and both times were awful. If we come back to Paramour, we would specifically request NOT to be seated in his section.Special Features:
- Amazing dining experience!foodpinionDined on 7/20/2014The Chef's tasting menu was phenomenal. We were so glad that we opted for the wonderful wine pairing as well because we were able to experience and discuss the wines with their very personable Sommelier. While the room is beautifully designed, we sat in one of a few circular booths which face a parking lot across the street which detracts from the ambiance; and would recommend additional landscaping outside the window as a screen or always keep the curtains closed.Special Features:

The two-month old child who went missing with her mother in South Richmond has been returned to her family.
The teen mom, Bertha Romero-Curbelo, 15, from South Richmond took off with her two-month-old baby Tuesday. She was seen walking away from her home on Britannia Road, with her baby in her arms.
Bertha Romero-Curbelo has not yet been located. She was last seen wearing a black jacket with a gold peace sign on the back, blue jeans and black boots.
Officers say they have no reason to believe Romero-Curbelo would harm herself or is otherwise in danger, but they would like her to return to her family.
Bertha's mother, Yoelia Curbelo, says she has legal custody of the child. She also says Bertha has disappeared with the infant, named Natalia, before.
Bertha took the child Tuesday morning. Yoelia says Bertha didn't take any clothing or items for the baby.
Yoelia says Bertha has a difficult time living home. The family clashes with the baby's father, who's also a teen.
The grandmother also says that Bertha's on probation, for running away so many times. However, a family struggle like this escalates, a child is taken. Richmond police sent out an alert, asking for the public's help to locate Bertha.
The grandmother says Bertha often stays with the child's father, however she's been unable to reach him.
Yoelia says Bertha could even be charged with kidnapping, since the child isn't legally hers.
Anyone who may have any information on the teen's whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000 or text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the key word "ITip" followed by your tip. Both methods are anonymous.

If you've ever implemented a file upload or download scenario in ASP.NET, you've likely come across the situation of having to provide a MIME type based off of a file extension. IIS does this automatically when it serves files, but it seems like in ASP.NET there isn't a good way to provide this functionality. Searches on the web might point you to building your own Dictionary of MIME types or just writing a switch statement, but this felt like a hack to me and so I turned to a resident expert, Levi Broderick.

Concerned about businesses raising rates or con artists looking to make a quick buck following a major storm, the state is taking a tougher stance on price gouging.
Lawmakers said they want a little more heft to the state's anti-price gouging bill. Right now it's already illegal to raise rates on consumer goods following a storm.
Now legislators want to add lodging along with storm cleanup and repair work to the list.
Along Connecticut's shore, residents are still picking up the pieces after Hurricane Sandy last October. That's why lawmakers said they want to make sure that when the next big storm hits, when homeowners go looking for help, businesses and contractors can't jack up the prices.
Currently businesses can't raise the rates on any consumer goods for sale in declared disaster areas.
Under the new proposal, it would also be a crime to increase prices on services and lodging whenever the governor proclaims a severe weather event.
That would include items like generators, hotel rooms, snow removal, flood abatement along with post-storm cleanup and repair.
The Department of Consumer Protection would be looking for what lawmakers are calling "unconscionably excessive price increases."
They would be focusing on the current rates and comparing them to a 30-day period before the storm.
As for any penalty, any offender caught price gouging could face charges along with a fine.
The public hearing is set for 1 p.m. at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.

Antonio Valencia has spoken of his pride at wearing the no.7 shirt at Manchester United. In an interview with Nike to promote the Manchester United Collection leisurewear range, the Ecuadorian winger describes what it is like to follow in some famous footsteps...
How aware were you of the significance of the no.7 shirt when Sir Alex Ferguson allocated it to you at the beginning of the season?
Yes, it means a lot. When I arrived at United I was already aware of exactly what the no.7 shirt stood for here, because we all know that many legendary players have passed through the club and worn that shirt, players who were almost larger than life. So I was pretty clued up about it and it's a shirt that's really made a huge impact at this club.
What makes it so special?
You can almost say it's different to the other shirts worn by the other players. It's a shirt that needs to be worn by a player who is maybe that little bit different, individuals if you like. That's how I see it anyway. I'd say it has to be someone special who wears that shirt because it is a little different.
Does it have to belong to a player with a particular style or character?
I think so, definitely. You can see that pretty much in all of the players who have worn the shirt have gone on to become legends at this club. I'm just hoping I can do something similar!
What is it that unites the great no.7s?
You could say it's the winning mentality, the mentality of a champion, always wanting to win and having that hunger for trophies. Take David Beckham, he wore that shirt for what, eight to 10 seasons and won five or six titles in that time. That's something you look at and see why the shirt means so much at this club.

Produced from Sangiovese grapes, this wine has an unmistakable style and distinct character, but it is, nevertheless, capable of holding its own in relation to international tastes.
"The single-vineyard 2004 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Asinone reveals beguiling aromatics. With air, layers of vibrant dark fruit, tar, smoke, graphite and licorice develop in the glass as this beautifully-balanced wine struts its stuff. Ideally a few years of bottle age are warranted, but this wine is so appealing at the moment that readers might have a hard time waiting. I am confident that in a few years this wine will be even better. The wine's finesse, tannins and texture are clearly those of a first-class wine. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024."

"This is a bold, meaty wine with thick aromas of smoke, cured meat, mesquite wood, ripe blueberry and sweet cherry. It makes a grand impression on both the nose and the tongue because of its exceptional density, its supple texture and its impressive length. "

It's All in Your Head
A Second Chance for Greg LeMond
It's early spring and the sun is just beginning to fade. I've got the blacktop to myself. It's my first time on Sugar Bottom Road, a faint squiggle on the map between Nothing and Nowhere. A sign promises
twists and turns
for the next 6 miles. The road is narrow, hemmed in by unruly trees and shrubs through which I can barely make out the occasional house in the distance—an old farmstead here, a McMansion there. Otherwise, I might as well be on one of those closed fantasy roads featured in car commercials. There's a light wind at my back and I'm moving along at a good clip, rarely able to see more than 50 yards ahead before the pavement disappears into a turn. This is road bliss, I think. This is what I want to feel on a bike—speed, freedom, total focus—and somehow I hadn't dared to think the feeling was still possible.
I come through a clearing, undulating high grasses on both sides, and see the road drop in front of me. I crouch low and rifle downhill. I can't see where the road turns at the bottom. Still, I relax into the speed, hands touching brakes but applying no pressure. For a moment I think: What would my wife say? And I remind myself: Think of your kids. I bounce onto a bridge at the bottom, then lean into the blind turn, hesitate, and lose my nerve—or come to my senses—and slow down just around the bend where an oncoming car greets me. There's a rambling, dilapidated barn in a meadow that looks as though it might have come out of a rustic painting. Up ahead, the road climbs at something like a 15 percent grade. I stay in the saddle as long as I can, until I'm virtually motionless, then stand and grope my way uphill. More bliss. This could be New England, I tell myself. This could be California. I could be 25 and staying with a group of friends in a country house in the south of France, wine and conversation all night, writing and riding all day.
But that would be another life, another ride. In this one the realities are different. A few years ago, I moved to a small town in the middle of the country. Iowa: It's not many cyclists' vision of paradise. It wasn't mine, either. Indeed, it felt like something of a defeat to move there. I was giving up on a 20-year effort to make a go of it on sexier, more dramatic terrain—first, the overpowering, mostly vacant expanses of Montana; then, the compulsive, cramped spaces of New York City. These were the two extremes that had defined my life. One place was dominated by the natural landscape: rock, water, forest, sky, silence. The other place was the supreme expression of man-made clamor. In one, you could ride in the woods all day and expect not to see another person. In the other, you threaded a line through every imaginable obstacle, a kind of urban cyclocross. Both were stunning and sometimes hard places in which to ride, all tight corners and sudden turns, steep drops, constant adjustments. I had been committed to that kind of riding and that kind of living. It was always a new ride, a new beginning.
Then, telling myself it would be a temporary move, I decamped to what I had long considered to be the soft center of the country. I was motivated by the usual dull practicalities: money, space, childcare, sanity. Suddenly I found myself with a regular paycheck, a house with a backyard, and a parking spot whenever I wanted one, all set within a pleasing and seemingly nondescript landscape. Iowa? Ohio? Idaho? To my friends in New York, these were interchangeable entities—the kinds of in-between places you see from an airplane, laid out in immaculate rectangles, as you fly from one coast to the other. Like most people, I prefer the edges of things, beginnings and endings, fresh starts and hair-raising finales, the wild new romance, the shattering breakup. Middles are tougher to appreciate: middle of the road, middlebrow, midpack, middle-class, and, most dreaded of all, middle age. "Midway through the journey of our life I came to a dark wood where the path had been lost": Dante's words, written 700 years ago as he set out on a tour of Hell.
Still, I found that there were unexpected compensations to be had. It helps that I no longer have to hang my bike from a wall in my living room, and that I can leave my front door and clear the last stoplight between there and open road within five minutes. But it's more than that. Setting off today, I was aware that I need the bike—the challenge, the isolation, the meditative intensity—in a way I never have before. I need the sensation of self-presence that rooting myself to the saddle can provide. But I also need the neighboring sensation of occasional escape—the traverse of town, exurb, farmland, woods, and lake that makes me feel I'm traveling far from my life at the end of the workday, yet can still be home in time for dinner.
I've barely begun to explore this amorphous midway that is my new home. I learned a few things as soon as I tuned up my bike and got my legs moving. My old friends all say to me, "It must be flat there." It's not. The retreat of the Wisconsin glaciers, about 12,000 years back, left behind a landscape of ridges and corrugations and rolling hills, exactly like what I find on Sugar Bottom Road. It's not the Rockies, but today, at least, it's rarely dull, and often sublime—although in a subtle way. The landscape lends itself perfectly to thinking about the quiet hardships and satisfactions of the middle of one's life. My current ride isn't the screaming, winding descent or the sprint through the center of world finance and culture, but it is, perhaps, a kind of riding that is closer to what reality is for most of us—a matter of long, sometimes arduous middles, lacking in signposts or in obvious guides as to where to go next and how to get there.
When the last hill on Sugar Bottom tops out, the landscape opens up, prairie grasses fringing fields of lumpy black soil that haven't yet been planted and still seem to wear a sheen of frost. The road ends abruptly at a stop sign. I'd like to keep going—on a day like this, I'd like to ride on and on—but I still don't quite know where I am, and the daylight is vanishing. I'll have to save further exploration for another day. It's okay. The road isn't going anywhere, and neither am I. I turn and retrace my route. The light is different, the wind is different, the uphills have become downhills, and the turns are reversed. The road is still fun, hard, and beautiful, still a revelation, and from this direction it's an entirely new experience.

Jerome Holloway is an American musician. He was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. After graduating from Michigan State University with a B.A. in Sociology he moved to Chicago, Illinois and in 2006, he began playing various acoustic venues throughout the city.
While playing around Chicago and the midwestern United States, he garnered praise and comparisons to Ray Lamontagne, Ben Harper as well as classic soul singers. It has been said that, Jerome Holloway is where "Damien Rice meets Marvin Gaye." His debut album Matters of the Heart was released in 2008. "Matters is a record that combines soulful vocal melodies with thoughtful folk arrangements and rock influences." David Johnson- Engineer, Tricycle Sound Studios.
As Holloway explains, "My music, at its core, is soul music because it aims to capture and convey a feeling which, I hope, touches the heart and ecourages positive action." http://www.facebook.com/jeromehollowaymusic | http://www.jeromeholloway.com/
"Kalamazoo-born Chicago artist Jerome Holloway would be my pick for the best discovery on the first day of Summerfest. The singer/songwriter has a marvelous voice, soulful and light, reminding me of Sam Cooke — not that he sounds like Cooke exactly, but he has that charm and ease and the old-school mood of the Soul era. In his own words, he likes to sing about love. Great music to chill to with a bottle of wine on a stay-around-the-house date with your sweetheart."
—Kevin Revolinski, The Mad Traveler, 1 July 2011

Looking for a featherbed--This is the one!! I was leary when I received it and opened it up because of past experiences with purchasing other featherbeds. Not this one--they are not kidding when they say 5-inches thick it really is!! And to receive a cover sheet for that price-unbelievable. Lay it out on your bed and slide your cover sheet on--it begins to instantly fluff up and rise. I pushed the sides in and the top and bottom in and up until it is piled up like a pyramid on my bed, I let it sit that way to air out and fluff up. It really works--I do this every other week to really fluff it up-- and believe me it responds. I have to tell you that it is truly like sleeping on a cloud!! I had a friend who was store buying featherbeds for twice the cost and returning them because he was so dissatisfied. I told him to purchase this one and he loves it. He said,"Finally a featherbed that is all that it says it is...I cannot believe how comfortable this is." It is well worth the price..... and one comparable in quality would easily go for twice the price. If you have had similiar experiences with trying to find a good featherbed--Seriously!!---Look No More--This Is The One!!
After returning from a trip to Chicago where I slept on a luxurious featherbed at the posh W hotel, I went on a mission to find a comparable bed. Sleeping at the W was the best sleep I'd had in ages... like sleeping on a cloud as they say! My hunt ended when I found this wonderful featherbed from Overstock.com. I was skeptical at first... could it really be as great as the reviews and at such an affordable price? YES YES YES!!! My featherbed arrived amazingly fast and the quality is unbelievable. The bed is thick, heavy, luxurious and very well made. To be honest, I didn't expect much from the included cover and was prepared to purchase a separate cover. To my delight, I was wrong. The cover is wonderful as well! I'd buy another for my guest room but I'm sure my guests would never leave!!! <g> This is my second purchase from Overstock and I can't begin to sing their praises loud enough. Great customer service and super fast shipping add to the incredible bargains.
Alright, so. Let me just start off saying that i found most other reviews lacking much information and i wanted to leave one with a bit more substance to it to hopefully help at least one person make a well informed purchase regardless of other reviews. So. I was browsing the web for mattress toppers at reasonable prices, because i'm on a budget. i came across this. After much comparing, i came up with a verdict. most, if not almost ALL Higher end feather-beds, especially with down content (this one has none) are usually HALF as thick as this one, but cost TWICE the price. Down is for warmth and a little extra softness, feathers provide softness and more support than down. I get really hot easily when i sleep so i was avoiding down, but looking for plush softness, So, that's what prompted me to make the purchase. I did however start browsing the comments and reviews a day after i made the order, and came across the negative reviews..i did worry a little, but once it arrived, l was more than certainly satisfied. some reviews said it was "too flat" or "crunchy"..I would just like to let everyone know the "crunch" associated with this particular feather-bed, is from the cover. It is because it is extra tightly woven cotton, (to prevent the feathers from poking through) As for those people who stated "it isn't 5 inches" or "Feel like it was misrepresented" in terms of thickness or flatness...Feather beds, regardless if they're all down, or all feather, or blended WILL be comfortable and WILL flatten down, EVERY, NIGHT. The secret is it MUST, MUST, MUST!! I REPEAT MUST!!!! a MILLION times MUST!!!!!!! BE FLUFFED EVERY DAY FOR THE "CLOUD" or "SINK IN" FEELING AND TO REACH MAXIMUM LOFT (height) I REPEAT ...DAILY!!! and i cannot stress that enough. Fluffing every day = Thick, Puffy Soft, cloud 5+ inches high. Not fluffing = flat, still comfy not 5 inches high This feather bed is 5 inches + when fluffed. When i fluff it, which i do very thoroughly, EVERY DAY, is EASILY 5 + inches, never any less. i repeat, NEVER less than 5 inches, when fluffed. Thats the way feather-beds have been since the 14th century, and its STILL that way today. There is simply NO way around it unless you have someone else do it for you. so if you're lazy, you probably wont enjoy any feathered, ever. Sorry. I might also add this was my first mattress topper / feather-bed purchase ever, and i am very very please in terms of comfort to price ratio. I am sleeping comfortably every night thus far (its been a month since i received it) and have not had a problem with feathers poking/ coming out or anything of the sort. Cover is very high quality, as well as the baffled part itself. Amazing for the price, and considering buying a second one to put on top of this one. Just because im a glutton for comfort.
It was delivered yesterday (Friday). No bad smell at all. It had to be shaken and aired out so that it can "breathe" to allow it get fluffy. We call it the PUFFY bed. This featherbed is HEAVY - the fill is very high. Its comfortable and soft - while it gives support. You will have to shake it every day or so to make sure it remains "puffy" - as you would with any other featherbed. The included duvet cover is very smooth (high thread count) - fits like a glove and does not allow for the feathers come through. The height of ours is as stated 5". Its stitched in sections to prevent the feathers from shifting to one side of the featherbed. We purchased the King size and its covers our mattress perfectly. We are very pleased with this product. It was purchased to replace the (more expensive) 3" featherbed we've had for over three years and was not as high and highly filled as this one. Highly recommend a featherbed to all my friends, its the ultimate luxurious item for your bedroom. This one will be on the top of the list of recommendations! Our first night sleeping on it, well ...let me just say we did not get out of bed until noon!! A great purchase at an incredible price. Super fast shipping. Overstock.com does it again!
I received my feather bed one day while my husband was out-of-town. When he came home and laid down for a good night's rest, he raised the sheets and said, "What is this?!?!?" I said, "It's our new featherbed!" He said, "I'm telling you right now, I'm not going to like it". I asked him to sleep on it just one night and if he didn't like it, I would take it off." Much to his dismay, he loved it! He said, "That was the best nights sleep he had in a long time." We have had it for about a month now and can't wait to climb into bed every night. We loved it so much that we bought another one for our guest bedroom. Try it - you'll love it!!!!!
It is a great featherbed. You must fluff every day!
We LOVE our new featherbed! It has made our bed so comfy and luxurious. Feel like we are sleeping at a 5 star hotel every night! You do have to fluff the featherbed every few days to get that 5 inches of comfort. Highly recommend.
It DOES have good quality materials but if you don't shake it and level out the feathers daily (so they don't pile up at one end or another, then it is almost impossible. At first (and if you can keep the feathers distributed evenly), it is VERY good and supportive. Mine sits in my guest room now...
I bought this for my daughter. She had a featherbed, but it was old. I have read all the reviews and I decided to get this one. There was no smell and the cover is very nice. Easy to put on if you lay the featherbed on the floor. We put the featherbed on top of her sleep number bed and put the sheet over top of the mattress and featherbed. She has large pockets in her sheets. I asked her how she slept the next morning and she said it was like sleeping on a cloud. She does fluff it everyday. There is actually 5 inches of wonderful fluff. I am satisfied and so is she. For the price you can't beat it. She hasn't had any problems with the feathers coming through and sticking her. I would recommend giving this a try. BTW I never give anyone Excellent. So my good rating is really good.
Although this featherbed is made well, I'm sorry to say it felt like we were sleeping in a birds nest! My back hurts most of the time no matter what I sleep on, but when my husband woke the next morning and said "my back hurts like I've been working in the yard all day", I knew this wasn't for us. I've had many toppers on our bed in search of the perfect nights sleep, but this is the only one he's ever complained about. Sent it back after only 3 nights!
