Why do people find it so hard to admit their wrong? And how can we improve upon this? (If this is the case)
This debate is quite a risky one :D Because if I am wrong and don't admit it, it will seem like a ironic twist of fate? (/paradox)
I read a book recently called : Mistakes were made but not by me. Which was a very good book and explained in great detail how the "theory of Cognitive Dissonance" made it very hard to get people to admit they are wrong.
A quick example would be : "I am rational, (s)he is disagreeing with me, and (s)he must be irrational" Even though you can both be perfectly rational and logical.
Though I think this is one of the fundamental problems is this fundamental fact. For if people could admit they were wrong, a lot of positive things could come out of it.
I "believe" that in China this is the case, how introversion, and accepting that you could be wrong is viewed as a positive.
While a recent TED talk a watched revealed that people feel that the other is wrong due to 3 reasons :
1. Their stupid.
2. They have the wrong data. (Once you realize their not stupid.)
3. They must be ignorant or evil. (Because they have the right data and are intelligent.)
While another thing I feel I must mention is the fundamental attribution error, is where we view other people failing as disposition (Their stupid) and their success as situational (They were lucky). And our own success as disposition (I'm a genius) and our failures as situational (it was just a hard exam/ I was unlucky).
Also the optimism bias, makes us believe "smoking kills, just the other guy" in the way this is the same context as admitting humility to the fact smoking will probably kill you!

Apr 14 2013: Scott DOES indeed say a lot with few words.....don't you love it Bernard?
"Why do people find it so hard to admit their wrong?"
For the occasion to arise in which we might have to admit to be wrong, we would have first had to believe we are right.....yes?
"And how can we improve upon this?"
When we identify strongly with the ego, it often leads to wanting, needing, insisting that we are right. When we can let go of that need, and realize that most of what we are talking about most of the time is simply information, which is neither right nor wrong, we are free from the need to be right.
Apr 14 2013: What is the "ego", if it is just yourself,then self realization is part of the "ego". Sorry! Just an odd thought I had...
It's interesting how every debate about people, goes the (in my opinion) "pre-theory of mind (insinct) vs Post-theory of mind". In the way one is a more selfish rational self, and the other is a more empathetic irrational self. (In my opinion!) :P
Though yeah I do agree with you, I do feel that people are too worried about admitting their wrong (in the way of the reputation they would gain!).
Apr 14 2013: Bernard,
According to the accepted definition, ego is:
"the self esp. as contrasted with another self or the world; self esteem; the one of the three divisions of the psyche in psychoanalytic theory that serves as the organized conscious mediator between the person and reality esp. by functioning both in the perception of and adaptation to reality". Got that? LOL!
You say..."people are too worried about admitting their wrong (in the way of the reputation they would gain!)."
I will say again....in order to think/feel that we are wrong, we first have to think/feel that we are/were "right". If we let go of the need to be "right", there is nothing to "worry" about.... there is freedom...as Scott insightfully points out:>)

Where are They Now: American Idol's Kimberly Caldwell (Interview)
Kimberly Caldwell made it to the top seven on American Idol's second season. Though Ruben Studdard took home the recording contract that year, Caldwell has seen just as much success after appearing on the singing competition. For seven years she held a variety of hosting gigs on Fox Sports Network, MTV, VH1, Oxygen and TV Guide Channel before releasing her debut album "Without Regrets" last year. Reality Idols recently had the chance to chat with Caldwell about her experience on the show and her successful life after Idol.
Kimberly Caldwell (KC): The nationwide tour was insane! We traveled together to 55 cities in like 65 days and had a chance to really connect with the fans. It was such an adventure.
KC: The new judges are a lot less harsh and it's probably because Steven and Jennifer are performers themselves. They know how devastating it can be to not get an audience's approval so they tend to be more on the contestant's side. I love watching the new judges because they get so into the performances and really feel it. I think that gives the contestants an advantage because they have gracious faces to really let go an give it their all. I would have loved to be on the show knowing what I know now, but proud to be a part of the original version.
KC: Yes! Quite a few of them. Just talked to Ruben the other day and he sent me some signed merchandise for a charity event I'm hosting. Justin Guarini was my co-host for a long time on TV Guide Network and still is a dear friend to me. Hosting Idol Tonight and Idol Chat on TV Guide is actually how I met most of my Idol friends. I have a show in Branson, MO, coming up with my boys, Blake Lewis and Elliott Yamin.
KC: I watch Idol, of course, and they really snagged some great talent this year. I love The Voice. The judges have the best chemistry. The blind auditions make it all about the voice and I'm always sitting on the edge of my seat to see which one will spin around and make a contestan'ts dreams come true.
KC: Give it all you got. It's hard to be yourself completely when you have cameras shoved in your face, but relax and try not to take yourself too seriously while still giving 100%! It's tough, but this could change your life forever.
KC: After American Idol, I was lucky enough to fall right into a hosting career with Fox Sports then TV Guide Network and continued to host for MTV, VH1, CBS and Oxygen. Somehow in there, I co-wrote and put out an album as well. If you work hard and stay focused, Idol can really give you a leg up. It's something I will never be ashamed to claim.
KC: I have been on a stage with a mic in my hand since I was five. Whether its singing or just entertaining, I'm right at home either way. There's nothing like belting out a song and running around a stage though.
KC: It took forever and a day to release the album. I started writing two years before those songs ever saw the light of day. It's so therapeutic for me when I'm writing, so it was such a release to create the music. I was actually in the studio on and off for about a year and a half trying to really get it right.
KC: I would have to choose "Say Love". It's my baby. I hope to continue writing songs that have that much raw emotion and stay that honest in my lyrics. It's a tear jerker.
KC: Not a set plan yet, but neither was "Without Regret." I'm in the studio constantly writing and recording and loving the excitement of not having to color within the lines. I just create and enjoy. We will see what the future has to offer once we get to the next page.
KC: As long as I'm performing, I'm In a good place. I have really grown to love hosting and interviewing and I'm lucky enough to be able to do both on a regular basis. One day I'm traveling to sing, and the next I'm on a stage running the show so I'm a happy girl.
KC: I have a couple of gigs books over seas this year which i cant wait for! I just filmed a guest role on TNT's "Franklin and Bash" airing this Summer and my show "Best Ink" that I'm the host of, will premiere on Oxygen March 27th at 10pm. Please tune in and stay tuned for what's next!

New report identifies opportunities to design more innovative meetings for better performance
CHICAGO, Illinois, January 7, 2013 - A new guide commissioned by the PCMA Education Foundation uses a collection of behavioral science studies curated by psychologists to determine what can enhance the value of face-to-face experiences for both attendees and planners. The Appliance of Science: 39 Ways to Improve Your Meetings is a collection of insights made possible through a partnership with UK-based performance consultants The Meetology® Group.
Grounded in academic research and historical survey data, the guide provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand list of opportunities that planners can use to reevaluate the experiences they create. By surveying existing bits of scientific research related to attending and designing meetings, the report delivers insights into how to improve group dynamics and interaction, how to inspire innovation and how to maximize performance at meetings.
"Rather than make assumptions about what matters to attendees and how they can perform better at meetings, this guide give us some groundwork needed to help understand what truly matters to them," Liz Erikson, Chair, PCMA Education Foundation, says. "This investigation uses leading thinkers from around the academic world to analyze those assumptions and deliver real ideas based on proven concepts of what can lead to more effective meetings and more engaged participants."
Six Categories of Scientific Meeting Improvements
Divided into six categories, The Appliance of Science outlines steps to transform the face-to-face meeting environment.
To learn more about this collection of research and review all 39 tips and pick your favorite, download the report. For those attending Convening Leaders in Orlando, the PCMA Education Foundation will present a session that digs deeper into these findings on Tuesday, January 15 from 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM.

Free admission to national parks
From Acadia to Zion, June 9 will be a no-fee day at all National Park Service sites. And starting this year, active military personnel can get free annual passes.
Looking for cheap recreation? Of the National Park Service's 397 sites and parks, 264 are always free.
The other 133 will be free Saturday, June 9. These no-fee walks in the parks aren't limited to rocks, trees and game animals. They include lighthouses, wild horses, canyons, trout fishing, presidential papers, sled dog puppies, cave tours, whales and, of course, history. Lots of history.
How about a trip to:
- Adams National Historical Park in Massachusetts, the former home of two presidents.
- Antietam National Battlefield in Maryland, site of the most horrific one-day battle (23,000 soldiers killed, wounded or missing in 12 hours) in U.S. history.
- Appomattox Court House in Virginia, where Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to end the Civil War.
- Yorktown National Battlefield, also in Virginia, site of the last major battle of the American Revolution.
Most people don't realize the scope of these national treasures, Park Service spokeswoman Kathy Kupper says. "They know a handful of famous ones, but they don't realize there's probably one close to where they live."
'As economical as you'd like'
Although a certain number of free days are scheduled annually, this is the first time that all Park Service locations are free on National Get Outdoors Day, which the U.S. Forest Service created in 2008 to encourage healthy recreation.
You'll save anywhere from $3 to $25 on June 9, depending on which site you visit. However, you might still have to pay for certain amenities like privately managed parking or bus tours.
Seventeen fee-free days were scheduled for 2012. After June 9, the remaining free days are Sept. 29 and Nov. 10-12. Beginning this year, active-duty military personnel and their dependents can get a free annual pass by showing military ID at any Park Service site.
If you're 62 or older, you can purchase a lifetime pass for $10. (This pass is good for those traveling with you, too.) People with permanent disabilities can get annual passes for free.
While it's possible to spend a lot of money at some locations on third-party activities, food and souvenirs, a day at a Park Service site can be "as economical as you'd like," Kupper says: "You could pick a free park or a fee-free day, and pack a lunch and go on a ranger program."

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WDRB) -- A Jeffersonville icon is now history.
Heavy machinery pulled away parts of what was Jerry's Restaurant on 10th Street Wednesday morning.
Mayor Mike Moore says the diner has been in his family since 1963, and the decision to tear it down was not an easy one. The kitchen was destroyed in a fire in March, and perspective buyers thought it needed too much work.
Moore says he has been in talks with the Waffle House to move to the space, after the one downtown was torn down for the bridges project.

LOCATION: 100 miles W of New Caladonia
HEADING: 181-degrees
SAILS: Big jib, staysail, full main
We have a strap that we tie from one end of the galley entrance to the other. It's a preventer so that when upwind sailing is at it's worst and you're tucked inside cooking on the high side, you don't risk losing your grip on the boat and falling all the way to leeward. It's an important piece of equipment, but one I hate seeing in use; it usually comes with a great deal of discomfort. It's like a status, like a Code Red or a Defcon 4. The preventer's in place, life will suck for the next period of undetermined time and your body will hurt today.
Fortunately, it's only been about four hours since I put that strap in place, and it's probably time to take it off. The awful upwind conditions - a surprise to us all - are coming to an end as our proximity to New Caledonia has helped ease the large swell and rough sea state at blame. The island's "lee-fect" (yes, I just made that up) also impacts our wind, which has dropped considerably, too.
Besides being the final significant landmass on our charts until New Zealand, New Caledonia is also proving to be a valuable point of relative reference. Going to the east of the island never really proved a viable option, so all six boats have used it's northwestern corner as a loose waypoint, and it's done well to bring the east and the west back together again for the first time in weeks. We haven't seen another boat since the East China Sea, but that may change soon. Telefónica and CAMPER have done fine getting out of their low road and this is going to be a very close race south, especially when and if things slow up as expected during the approach to Auckland. Now comfortable leads could disappear and there could be plenty of passing lanes and park-ups.
It would be a shame to sail all this way and have the prospects of that hard work hinge on a few days of light air lingering near the finish, but that's part of racing, whether 'round the buoys or the world, and we're all preparing for it!

Hard to imagine anyone hurting helpless little kittens. But four of them were nearly frozen to death.
"I couldn't even talk. I was hysterical when I was calling 911. It freaked me out really bad. I'm still freaked out," Eve Mulder says.
Mulder found them inside her neighbor's freezer, at the Vagabond Mobile Home Park. Deputies say 39-year old Rodney Blanchard stuffed the kittens into individual plastic sandwich bags, then shoved them into his freezer and left them to die.
One of them did.
The other three might have died too, if not for Mulder. Blanchard asked her to grab him a beer from the freezer, but when she opened the door, she didn't find any beer.
"I kept hearing meowing and I looked at Rodney and he goes, 'hypothermia doesn't take that long to kick in.' and I was like 'Rodney! What did you do?' and then I ran for the freezer to get the kittens out because I knew that's what was in the ziplock bags. It wasn't steak," Mulder said.
If she hadn't seen them, investigators say the kittens wouldn't have made it much longer.
"I would probably say no more than ten minutes. Being in the plastic bag, it probably was protected a little bit more and that's probably why they had more of a chance of surviving." says Jill Purl of SPCA Tampa Bay.
Investigators say the kittens belonged to Blanchard's roommate, Francis Bahr, who wasn't around to take care of them. Bahr was arrested and charged with attempted murder the day before for shooting his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend at the Sunshine Mobile Home Park across the street.
In a twisted turn of events, Blanchard's son, Damian, was just arrested too. He is also charged with attempted murder for his involvement in the double shooting. Authorities say Rodney Blanchard and Bahr were roommates, and Blanchard's son was staying with them.
"It's been a really rough weekend with his roommate being in the shootings and all. It's just been a really rough weekend over here," Mulder said.
The three surviving kittens are expected to make a full recovery. They should be available for adoption just in time for Christmas.

SUFFOLK- Dog owners in Suffolk have new restrictions on tethering their pets.
City Council Wednesday night decided to approve a ban on dog-tethering that will take effect Sept. 1, according to the Virginian Pilot, and violating it carries a $250 fine.
The city joins Hampton in banning the practice.
Suffolk Council had been considering placing time limits and other restrictions on pet owners.

it's being called grand theft auto for the surveillance generation, only instead of being played out in the digital world, it's played out in the real world. and the object of the game isn't to steal cars or pull off other underworld pranks but to take out big brother's eyes by destroying cctv surveillance cameras spread across the city.
that's the new game being played in Berlin and other German cities under the rules of camover [note: the website keeps changing addresses so link may not work], an activist sport for those who hate surveillance cameras, according to the guardian.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB/SOCON) -- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football game at Furman on October 13 will be featured as part of the Southern Conference's broadcast package on ESPN3.com this fall.
The SoCon released a schedule of eight games featured as the league's "Game of the Week" that will be available online via ESPN3's variety of platforms. After the first six scheduled games, which includes the Mocs' 1:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Furman, the final two weeks have been dubbed as "wild card" games that will be selected at a later date.
Appalachian State and Georgia Southern are both scheduled to be featured twice during the eight-week run, including their meeting in Statesboro on November 3.
League broadcasts were featured on select PBS stations throughout the region last year, but the SoCon instead opted for a 40-game conference package exclusively through ESPN3 for the 2012-13 season.

Tiffany has vowed to get revenge on her half-sister and her boyfriend for killing her father Shon and her long-time lover Saliq. But first, Tiffany has to stay low until the dust settles. Tired of being slept on and disrespected, she meets Rasheeda, one of her father's former associates, who is also one of the baddest women in the streets. Rasheeda not only runs an elite escort service and a hot nightclub on the Virginia Beach strip, but she's also one of the major cocaine distributors in the Mid-Atlantic. Rasheeda takes Tiffany under her wing and introduces her to the side of the game that Shon had never revealed to his daughter.
Soon Tiffany reconnects with more of her father's former associates, settles old debts and rebuilds her father's drug reign in Virginia. Her reach soon spreads to Charlotte and Memphis. But Tiffany won't be happy until she finds Kanika and Tyrell. There are people who are willing to help Tiffany seek the just revenge that she's been craving for years.

"Tyrell . He should be here." Kanika watched the movers going in and out of the room.

- CalfDined on 9/19/2014Food and wine list we good. Pleasant dinning experienceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never againStkloverDined on 9/17/2014This was one if the worst restaurants I have ever been to. The bartender actually made my Bloody Mary with tequila. Waiter was terrible. Food was terrible. We asked to sit on the patio they said it was too hot....too hot it's vegas, she said humid.....humid, it was 21% humidity. I'm from Chicago where we have 90% humidity.....please. Very disappointed!
- AwesomeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014I can't wait to come back. Food and service was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service & FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014The lamb chops were to die for and the waitress, Dina, was as good as it gets. Old style food and service...a rare combo in today's world.Special Features:
- Great food and locationFoooooodDined on 9/15/2014The food was very well prepared and tasted like homemade Italian. I had the lasagna and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked in its own individual pan and served that way. The music playing was of course Sinatra which made the ambiance very relaxing and elegant. This is located in the Encore which has its own elegance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Anniversary DinnerZissouDined on 9/14/2014My wife and I celebrated our Anniversary here, everything was absolutely amazing. We are both Vegan/Vegetarian and our server went out of her way to make sure everything down to the bread and butter was 100% Vegan for myself, along with bringing Vegetarian options for my wife. The food, dessert, and service was perfect and made for a special romantic dinner!Special Features:
- Sinatra's His WayTHECOSVIPDined on 9/14/2014This is Steve Wynn's homage to Frank Sinatra - and he did it right. The atmosphere is great with Sinatra music playing in the background. The staff is friendly, gracious, attentive and knowledgable. Many of the recipes came from Frank's mother including the meatballs and spaghetti with clams which were exceptional. Overall a must if you are in Las Vegas particularly if you are a Sinatra fan.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thought it would be betterOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014My father and I had dinner at Sinatra and with all that I had heard about it, I thought the service would be better. We were seated in a lovely corner in the wine room and by the door where all of the waiters and servers went through to get to the patio. Then after about 15 minutes a waiter finally came over and apologized for being so tardy, he was not aware we had been seated and then asked if we would like water. . Service was spotty. Finally when we had finished our dinner and we waited another 15 minutes before it was removed from the table. All in all the food was good, but for the cost of the meal the service was inconsistent and poor. Would I recommend this restaurant, to a tourist yes, just because of the iconic name and location.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014The mood of restaurant was good. But I really dont know about the food taste. It not that great its not that bad. i spend $170 that night. Service was really good but taste is not that good.Special Features:
- There are better.SqueeDined on 9/13/2014With the plethora of dining choices at the Wynn, Encore and Vegas in general, my impression of Sinatra boils down to this - "It's just ok." The room is cool, and assuming that you at least like Sinatra's music you're gonna get plenty of it since you'll hear it non-stop from the moment you walk in, to the moment you leave. My lackluster review just comes down to the simple fact that there's nothing spectacular here where the food is concerned. To be honest, that's huge issue with so much competition around, and for the money there are just so many much, much better places to go. For Italian, head to the local favorite Piero's on Convention Center Drive instead. TRUST ME ON THIS. It's off-strip but the cabs all know it and it's the real deal.
- KyDebDined on 9/12/2014Dined here on September 12th and it was a delightful experience. The recordings of Frank playing in the background gives it a special flair! The baby beet goat cheese salad was delicious as was their risotto with black truffles appetizer. I could have eaten a second portion of the risotto. To anyone considering Sinatra's "Bon Appetit"Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/11/2014Food, atmosphere, service, wine list, ambience were all perfect. Now set it to Sinatra and Dean Martin singing in the background. It was a little slice of heaven on earth. Highly recommend.Special Features:
- Excellent Food and ServiceMattfoodlover75Dined on 9/8/2014The food was, as would be expected of a restaurant of this caliber. Started with the Carpaccio di tonno (excellent vinaigrette with the ahi just tender enough to hold it's integrity when rolling), for the main i had the Ossobucco (the most tender i've ever had, and the risotto was nice, thick, and cheesy, more than enough to leave my completely sated, not to mention that last bit of marrow at the end), and ended with a nice tawny port to mellow everything out. Only little issue i had was with the ambiance. It was so loud, with people running back and forth, though you couldn't really relax too much. they have nice Sinatra songs playing in the background, but you could only hear bits and pieces of it thanks to then noise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lives up to its nameFLJerMoDined on 9/8/2014While staying on vacation at the Wynn in Las Vegas, we had the pleasure of experiencing many of the great restaurants on the Wynn/Encore property. Unfortunately the last couple of days of our trip involved a conference at Bellagio and we chose to stay there for convenience. After a LOUSY experience at Circo at Bellagio, we craved some GOOD Italian food with QUALITY service in a nice setting and Sinatra was just what we were hoping for. Each and every dining experience at Wynn/Encore was superb and Sinatra was no exception!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply Lovelylove2eatVIPDined on 9/6/2014Attentive service. Lobster gnocchi fabulous, homemade mozzarella and fettucini, fantastic. Great for a special occasion or date night or you are just hungry for some great food and a good cocktail.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Highly Recommend!!!avanDined on 9/5/2014My husband celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary with Sinatra-Encore at Wynn Las Vegas. We wanted to dine with a place that had impeccable service and great food. Sinatra did not disappoint. I had a reservation for 6pm on a Friday night. We were going to be late to the reservation so I gave Sinatra call, Jennifer answered and re-assured me that my table will be waiting for me when I arrive. When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted, escorted to our table, and given a hand written note to congratulate us on our anniversary. Suzanne, our server, was great! We had the Caprese, Frank's Clams Posilipo, and the Pork chops that were a Special for the night. For dessert, Suzanne surprised us with some chocolates and a pistachio custards.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love this place!FoodieVIPDined on 9/3/2014Our second visit to Sinatra. Our favorite restaurant in Las Vegas! In addition to the regular menu they also offer a vegetarian/vegan menu with some fabulous dishes!Special Features:
- CatsVIPDined on 9/2/2014One of the better restaurants in Las Vegas! I highly recommend for business meetings or romantic dinners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine Dining ExperienceLandLDined on 9/2/2014Sinatra did not disappoint us on our return visit. The ambiance is special, notably the Sinatra music. The food is excellent, but the personalized service really excels. Very few places take the trouble to address you by surname when serving courses and from the front desk when departing. Pricey, but worth it. We recommend Sinatra highly.Special Features:
- Nothing but the BestLiquaDined on 9/1/2014Our second visit here, we absolutely love the food, the wine, the atmosphere, the dessert! I got the Pollo, served with a rich Marsala sauce & yummy gnocchi. My fiancé ordered the veal Parmesan and it was so tender! Our ricotta cheesecake was unforgettable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sinatra is WonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 8/30/2014We went to Sinatra on Labor Day Weekend to celebrate my birthday. The service was impeccable and the food reminded me of my grandmother's Sunday gravy. Lovely low lighting and Sinatra music playing--just perfect.Special Features:
- Sinatra Las VegasluvfoodDined on 8/30/2014We were looking for a highly rated Italian restaurant in Vegas near the show we were seeing that evening. Sinatra fit the bill! The wine was excellent and the food truly wonderful. Very traditional Italian food but fresh and well prepared! I will go back next time we are there!Special Features:
- Frank would be proudDeePeeDined on 8/30/2014Excellent food and ambiance - would recommend for sureSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We always enjoy Sinatra's!PetesueDined on 8/30/2014The long bone pounded veal chop parmagiana is great to split and very delicious :)Special Features:
- This is a must do! 5 stars!SkimanDined on 8/29/2014I had recently taken my wife to dinner at Sinatra's restaurant and it was not a dinner but an experience. The service is 5 star and you are treated with the respect you would expect from any fine restaurant. I had the veal and my wife had a pasta the dish. Both were great. It is a little pricy, but I highly recommend any who enjoys Frank Sinatra music and fine dining to go here. We will be back.Special Features:
- Sinatra himself would be pleasedTootsiegirlDined on 8/28/2014The service was top notch! Everything was perfect. Exceptional dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Night Outbg8990Dined on 8/27/2014I can't say enough about our Sinatra experience. First and foremost our waiter was awesome. He timed everything perfectly for us, we never felt rushed and he was on top of everything. The food was excellent and prepared as requested. My lamb was cooked perfectly and was delicious. My husbands veal parm was also very good. I would definitely recommend "the dream" cocktail. It was a bit pricey, but for high-end Las Vegas that was expected. Try it if you have the opportunity.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Frank would be proudFoodielover1VIPDined on 8/25/2014Great food and fantastic service. Have been there 4 times and will go back! Try the blackberry smash for a cocktail! Everything was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love it!KellemarsalisDined on 8/25/2014Even if you're not a fan of Frank, Sinatra is fantastic. The food is great, the atmosphere is top-notch and the service is impeccable. The chicken parm is the best I've had. Just be careful- the lasagna was so hot it burned. But once it cooled, it was also great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday dinner at Sinatra'sAndieDined on 8/25/2014Celebrated my friend's 65th Birthday on Monday evening. She has never been to Wynn Casino and had wanted to have dinner at Sinatra's. Our server was wonderful. The food was excellent, (although pricey for 2 ladies on Social Security. But it was worth it, Me being Italian, and growing up listening to Sinatra's music.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Stunning and exceptional serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/25/2014My girlfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary here and I must say the experience was second to none. Upon arrival we were greeted by our last name and congratulation's from all of the staff. After we ordered our food the server brought out two appetizers that we did not order to help celebrate our anniversary. After we had finished our delicious dinner we were greeted by the head chef and manager wishing us a happy two year celebration by bringing out not one or two, but three desserts! We had the best experience ever and i would highly recommend this to anyone celebrating anything.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderful eveningJaysskiDined on 8/18/2014I wanted to take my boyfriend to a very special place for dinner. I read about several restaurants in Las Vegas and decided to take him to "Sinatra" What a wonderful evening! Everyone who waited on us was just so friendly and helpful. The food and wine was out of this world. He was so impressed we are planning not only to go back but to take some friends with us. I would give "Sinatra" ten stars if I had that choice.Special Features:
- Simply the BestEdwardLVVIPDined on 8/17/2014I have been coming to Sinatra at the Encore Hotel essentially since it opened. It is an amazing restaurant in every sense of the word. The chef and the staff understand how to present the complete dining experience. Jonathan Husby the General Manager, his Assistant General Manager Brett, the many wonderful servers; Roger, Jay, Lawrence, David, Larry.... they understand that the venue, the food, and the interaction are what drives total customer satisfaction and the total dining experience. I had the privilege of spending my anniversary there last night, as I have many birthdays and other special occasions. It was the perfect night capped by the perfect meal at my favorite restaurant.Special Features:
- beautiful restaurant, nice ambiencemooseDined on 8/17/2014Love the setting, manager was a lovely who made us feel very comfortable. Food was good, only complaint was that they offered me gluten free rolls as I have celiac disease and they were partially frozen when they arrived. Otherwise, all was good. I would like to see a more diverse chardonnay by the glass list...thought that the price and quality of the Groth was not good. There are so many great California chardonnays on the market with a wide range of prices......Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A villa in Sea Caves, Cyprus is a fantastic option for anyone wishing to explore all that is best about Cyprus without a tourist crowd to contend with. Named after the stunning sea caves which litter this stretch of coast, there are few places in Cyprus which rival Sea Caves for a quiet beach holiday in stunning surroundings. Located just a few miles from Coral Bay in the Paphos region, villas on the beach at Sea Caves are easily accessible from the airport, and close to all the facilities you could possibly need on holiday.
Sea Caves, Cyprus, is a peaceful, rather exclusive development between Paphos and the wild Akamas Peninsula, which is a haven for walking. The deserted, windswept protected areas of the Peninsula seem to be many miles from any civilisation, despite its located, giving walkers a wonderful sense of peace and calm. There are also excellent coastal walks leading past the front of villas on the beach at Sea Caves, Cyprus, allowing you to walk to Coral Bay via the sea caves which gave the area its name. The nearest sea cave to a Sea Caves villa is located within 5 minutes walk, offering an excellent place to swim.
A villa on the beach at Sea Caves could not be better located. Often referred to as the 'best address in Cyprus', a villa in Sea Caves has both excellent access to the glorious, golden beaches of the Paphos area, the walking, cycling and riding trails of the Akamas Peninsula and the many attractions of Paphos town. Kato-Paphos is an archaeological dream, with a huge number of important discoveries having been uncovered in the area. The Troodos Mountains, the Tombs of the Kings and Aphrodite's Rock are all within easy reach and well worth exploring from a villa in Sea Caves.
Although there are a handful of excellent sea food restaurants in Sea caves and St George, the neighbouring village, Paphos Town has a huge range to select from. It is also Paphos that boasts the largest range of shops and bars in the region, making it a wonderful place to be in the evening if the allure of watching the sun set over the beach isn't a burning desire. Paphos is also an excellent place from which to hire water sports equipment, from wind surfers to small boats, scuba diving equipment to fishing tackle.
The coldest month in Cyprus is January, when monthly average temperatures hover around the 10˚C mark, with daily peaks pushing up towards 20˚C, perfect for exploring the archaeological treasures of Kato-Paphos or the natural treasures of the Akamas Peninsula. During the summer months, temperatures soar, with average monthly temperatures for August reaching as high as 38˚C, meaning most visitors head for the coast from their beach villa in Sea Caves, Cyprus.
Paphos International Airport (PFO) is with a 30 minute drive of a villa in Sea Caves, Cyprus. The drive is a very pleasant one, and there are plenty of taxis available from the airport if you do not wish to take a hire car yourself. Paphos Airport receives a staggering number of flights on a daily basis from the UK, with flights to Paphos arriving from every major airport in the UK on First Choice Airways, Thomas Cook Airlines and ThomsonFly in particular, although there are a range of airlines operating flights to Sea Caves, Cyprus.

Clemens says the victim suffered a small cut to her shoulder and left the scene in a vehicle
She reported the incident at the Law Enforcement Center. There has not been an arrest.

There's no denying the Trail Blazers have the better team on paper. But as we all know, game's are played on the hardwood for a reason. This game scares me for two reasons. One, this is the sixth game of seven on the road and the team just completed a double overtime contest which certainly taxed them both mentally and physically two nights ago. Have they recovered from the marathon in Cleveland? We'll know early on if the Blazers are ready for a full 48 minute battle if they are active on defense, executing on offense and hustling at every given opportunity. The second reason this one worries me is the opponent. In the NBA, there's a tendency to overlook opponents and play down to their level. Yes, Charlotte has a better record than Portland, but this is still primarily the same cast of characters who set the NBA record for worst winning percentage last season. And Portland has already looked sub-par on this road trip against inferior opponents (Washington, Detroit), so this could be another trap. Hopefully the Trail Blazers erase all of my concerns and jump out to an early lead.

Bobcats are better than the Pistons, Wizards and Cavs so this is no easy win tonight. We're going to have to play a pretty flawless game to beat them on the road which means making a high percentage of shots and freethrows, getting them in the penalty and no sub 20pt quarters. Go Team! All of this is doable if we carry the momentum into Charlotte. They have a really underrated coach.

First Game starts tonight. Houston is a tough first round opponent and they play exceptionally well at home. If we can steal a game or two at their place, I feel like we have extremely good chances.

Hawes will be a hot commodity by the trade deadline, I would think the sixers could find a better offer.
However, I do believe Mo Williams could have somewhat of  a high trade value. Olshey needs to make a deal to get a big man while we...

HENRYVILLE, Ind. (WHAS11) -- Five months after a tornado ripped open Henryville High School and it's time to go back to class. Students, parents and teachers were at the newly repaired building for an open house and dedication on Sunday.
It was certainly an ambitious goal to have students at Henryville Senior, Junior and Elementary schools back in classrooms for this school year at the Henryville campus after the March 2nd tornado virtually wiped the building off the map.
On Sunday, the school doors opened to the public for the first time.
WHAS11's Johnny Archer takes a look inside the renovated and partially rebuilt school. Click on the video player to view.

Three 6 Mafia: A Family Affair
Timing has ironically always seemed to be the groups forte, managing to score a gold or platinum plaque every couple years over the past decade like clockwork. And following their Academy Award-winning single, Its Hard Out Here For A Pimp, Juicy J and DJ Paul (and then member Crunchy Black) scored the biggest commercial success of their career with two monster smash singles [the Willie Hutch-sampling Stay Fly, and Poppin My Collar] propelling their last full-length, 2005s Most Known Unknown, to platinum status. Their own MTV sponsored reality TV show, Adventures In Hollyhood, soon followed and the group who had once crafted singles about tongue rings and sippin sizzurp for a largely cult audience had somehow become mainstream.
But even with the pressue to make their new album, Last 2 Walk, as commercially viable as its predecessor mounting, you would never know it in hearing the carefree (and mostly comical) replies Juicy and Paul gave to HipHopDX during our recent interview with the Tennessee twosome. And although the conversation did have one very serious moment regarding the usage of sizzurp in Hip Hop following the recent passing of Pimp C [click here to read], the guys showed they truly are relaxed and unconcerned about facing their uncertain commercial future, more interested in discussing lighter fare like having lunch with Paris Hilton or what kind of mischief their Hollyhood co-stars Computer and Triece have been getting into since the show wrapped.
HipHopDX: The first and most obvious question I have is where the hell have yall been? Its been like yall guys disappeared off the face of the earth after Doe Boy Fresh dropped [in early 2007].
DJ Paul: We was doing some other things, man. We was producing our album and our other artists albums Project Pat [click to read] dropped an album [Walkin' Bankroll last fall] and some other independent stuff [dropped]. But as far as Three 6 Mafia, we was just working on our album and some more TV and movie stuff.
DX: Wasnt the album [initially] supposed to drop on the heels of that single and the first season of the TV.show [aired in spring of 07] though?
DP: Yeah, it was originally gonna drop after the TV show.
DX: But youre just saying that yall wasnt done [recording the album] yet?
DP: Nah, we wasnt done yet.
DX: And I heard yall decided to stop doing Adventures In Hollyhood?
DP: Yeah, we had to focus on the music more. Cause if we had did another season it was gonna drop during the time when we was [to] start back recording the album and it woulda been in the way.
DX: But whats gon happen to Computer and Triece now? [Laughs]
DP: The same thing they was doing before: drinking and partying and kicking it.
DX: But that [show] was their meal ticket [Laughs].
DP: Actually it wasnt, they was [just] our homeboys. Like, Computer right now flying around on a private jet with a bunch of white girls. So he alright.
Juicy J: And Triece is somewhere in the hood drinking him a fifth of Hennessy, so he alright.
DP: Yeah, cause thats what he been doing.
DX: [Laughs] And did I read correct that yall trying to flip Hollyhood into like a movie?
DP: Yep. We gonna make a straight-to-DVD movie off of it.
DX: Yall gonna try and do more TV?
JJ: Hope so, man. Anything that comes our way we gonna take it the right roles that is.
DX: What about movies? I know Juicy you was trying to do the acting thing on the show.
JJ: Yeah, Ima still try to pursue that. I mean, I dont think Im an actor or nothing like that, but Im gonna at least try. You gotta at least try and see what happens.
DX: Lets switch gears to the new album. Did I read correct that theres actually a song on there with Paris Hilton called Thats Hot?
DP: Nah. I aint even heard that rumor. I wish we did have a song with Paris Hilton on there though.
DX: Yeah, I heard yall was supposed to be working with her, right?
DP: Yeah, we worked with her on one song when she was working on her album. [The songs] not on the album though. But yeah, we worked on a song.
DX: So Paris Hilton is good peoples to Three 6?
DP: Hell yeah. Thats our girl. She real cool. I just had lunch with her the other day. Thats my peoples. She go with our boy from Good Charlotte, our homie [Benji Madden].
DX: Yall got a joint with Good Charlotte on the album, correct?
DP: Yep. We got a joint on there. Its a gangsta joint though. It aint no rock song. Its a gangsta joint, but they produced it, them and their production team.
DX: So this song aint gonna alienate the Hypnotize hardcore fans?
DP: Nah, its some Hypnotize shit.
DX: Lets talk about the first two singles from the new album. Is there any reason you guys didnt continue with the soul sample driven success you had with the last albums singles and instead made these new joints more strip club oriented?
DP: I mean, its the summer time. We go by what time of the year we coming out. [Most Known Unknown] came out in September. Its summer time now, so we had to make some shit to get the girls on the dance floor and let em shake they asses. We got one single for the guys and girls, which is Id Rather [click here to watch]. And then we got one thats mainly for girls, the Lolli Lolli joint. So you know, [those songs] are just something to get em on the floor. But now the album got a lot of soul samples up in it. So there could probably be a [soul sample driven] third single. We still got that [sound] on the album. The albums [sound] is still the same [as the last].
JJ: Yeah, if aint broke we aint trying to fix it. But its always a different year and a different time. Like, that album is that album, and Smoke Clears is Smoke Clears, and Chapter 2: World Domination At those times it was always different stuff going on [musically]. So you know, times gonna change. Nothing aint gonna stay the same.
DP: Yeah, like Tear Da Club Up wasnt a soul single and it was our first big hit. Who Run It, Ridin Spinners, we always change it up.
DX: Juicy, I gotta ask you about a line you spit on Lolli Lolli which is Like Barack Obama said, its time for a change. So is Three 6 Mafia officially endorsing Obama for President?
JJ: I mean, when I said that in my rap I saw him on TV [and] he said, its time for a change, but I was talking about that its time for a change, pull over on the road [and get in] the backseat. I was talking about a gal, ya know?
DP: Talking about change positions.
DX: [Laughs] I know that, Im just saying it sounded kinda like a shout out.
JJ: I think hes a good candidate. And I think John McCain is one [too]. We dont even really get into politics, but we tell everybody to go out and vote. Every vote counts.
DP: Just go out there and do eenie-meenie-minie-moe, thats what I do.
DX: [Laughs] If yall dont get into politics then whyd yall put together that video with the clips of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer [click here to watch]?
DP: We didnt put that together. Man, you think Im that computer literate? I can barely send an email let alone edit together a video.
DX: [Laughs] Switching gears again, who are Young D and Superpower?
DP: Superpower is a an up-and-coming producer that we had just met and he produced a track [on the new album], and then we went back and we co-produced it to give it more of our sound. So we added some keyboards and bass and stuff to it. But he also sung the hook [on the song]. He wrote and sung that hook. Now Young D is one of our artists signed to our label. Hes like the hottest rapper in Memphis besides us and Project Pat. So we signed him to the label. He had two hot songs on the radio and so we signed him.
DX: Is he coming out with like his own joint through Hypnotize Minds soon?
DP: Yep, later this summer.
DX: And Frayser Boy and Lil Wyte both got new albums this year, right?
DP: Yeah, Frayser Boy just dropped his [Da Key], and Lil Wyte coming out in the fall. Then we got an artist named Chrome. His album will be coming out soon.
DX: So yall definitely keeping the independent side going while you do the [group] stuff over at Sony.
JJ: Got to.
DP: You betta believe it. We been crankin out independent [releases]. When you was asking us what we been doing since Doe Boy Fresh, we put out bout three or four independents.
DX: Yeah, I just meant, you know how it is to the public that the group is
DP: Yeah, they werent seeing us. Cause we was in the lab, man. When you hear the album, youll understand why you aint been seeing us.
DX: Any other Hypnotize-related projects besides those albums we mentioned on deck?
DP: Well, we got our clothing line that we brought out the end of last year. Its called Dangerus Skandulus. So we got the clothing line, and like I said the movies and just all that stuff.
DX: Speaking of the movies, theres gonna be another Choices I read?
DP: Yeah, Choices III.
DX: Yall got a date on that?
DP: Nah, we gonna try to start filming some of the movies when we get off the road for this album.
DX: Switching gears again, I dont know if I got the number right, but at my last count there have been something like 30 members of the Three 6/Hypnotize crew. So why has the camp whittled down to just a few now?
DP: It aint never been that many, unless you counting friends.
DX: Well, Im counting like everybody that was on the compilations and stuff.
DP: Yeah, but it was never that many. It was just six [members] in Three 6 Mafia, and then another four or five signed to the label like Frayser Boy, Lil Wyte and all them. The only thing that whittled down was the group, not the outside artists that was signed outside of the group. And [the reason for that] was just different things, man. Different strokes. But you know, they doing they own thing and we wish em the best.
DX: Does it ever get to you guys, bother you guys that so many of em kinda been out there talking, saying yall took from em, cheated em and stuff like that?
DP: Nah, hell no. The only [way that] would really bother us is if we really did it. But they cant say we took from em when they got four bedroom houses and five or six cars in the driveway. The people under them really know whats going on. They see them when they go to the mailbox and get that check with that Hypnotize Minds grim reaper on it and they run to the bank, or no to the liquor store, and they cash it and everybody sit up and smoke all night. So as long as they still happy and we still happy they can say what they wanna say cause they know the truth, that they getting paid.
DX: Do yall actually prefer being the Last 2 Walk or would you rather have that big crew around yall?
DP: Nah, its better like this. Wouldnt you rather be solo like Ludacris [click to read] and make bazillions, or have it be like 30 muthafuckas in a big group?
DX: I dont know, some people like the family thing I guess if its family for real.
DP: Yeah, well I got a family at the house. I got a 12-year-old son and thats all I need. I can trust him. He aint gonna leave me.

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with early morning comments for February 14, 2014 at 4:45 am.
Grain futures are steady to higher led by the soy complex. We are seeing follow through buying in soybeans and wheat after closing above key resistance levels on Thursday.
The USDA Baseline data was released and they are going to be using a 165.6 yield for corn and 45.2 yields for soybeans as trend yield on upcoming supply and demand reports. They suggested planted acreage would be 93.5 million acres to corn and 78.0 million acres to soybeans.
The weekly export sales data showed a net increase in soybean sales which was enough to ignite buying in the soybean complex. Technical buying was also a catalyst once prices moved through the 13.40 area in the March contract at the CME. Traders will be watching the news wires at 8:00 am for any further announcements of cancellations by China.
Farmer selling of soybeans picked up yesterday which caused basis to come under pressure. Corn sales were steady but nowhere near the volume seen in soybeans.
In an interview with Reuters, Bunge CEO says they will not handle corn containing new GMO traits unless approved by China.
The Buenos Aries Grain Exchange has lowered the Argentine corn production to 23.5 mmt compared to last year of 27.0 mmt and USDA's estimate of 24.0 mmt.
Grain markets are closed Sunday night and Monday and will open at 7:00 pm Monday evening.
Pork production last week was well above year ago levels while hog numbers were down due to heavy weight. The more seasonal weather in the forecast could help producers get current. Some are suggesting heavy weights are not a current issue but a PEDv issue. With less replacement pigs available, producers are profiting by putting on more weight. The weekly increases of PEDv cases have traders and producers concerned about summer hog supplies. Pork cutout values were up 1.20 on Thursday.
A few cattle traded at 142 while futures markets gathered support from outside influences such as weaker dollar. The price relationship of cash to futures allows room for a rally based on historical patterns. Beef cutout was slightly higher with choice up .05 and select up .13. The CME Feeder Index is 170.99.
We have several meetings scheduled for next week. Monday, Steve Georgy will be in Davenport, NE and I will be in Watertown, SD. On Tuesday we will be in Mankato, MN and Wednesday in Marshfield, WI. Call today to save a seat at 800-262-7538 or register online. Looking forward to meeting many of you in person.

How To Perform Dips Presented By: BodyBuilding.com
Obstacle Race training requires more than just running ability. It requires a well balanced amount of upper body strength as well. Continuing to build up our repertoire of exercises that can be used in building the muscles necessary to complete obstacles, today we will learn the proper form for dips. By working on a variety of exercises we become stronger, and as we become stronger a majority of the obstacles will inherently become easier. Having trouble pushing yourself up and over the wall climbs? Do your arms get tired while crawling through the barbed wire? Performing dips is a fantastic way to develop your tricep muscles and help you to conquer these obstacles.
Whichever obstacle it is that gets the best of you, know that by working on building the strength to complete them is half the battle. The other half is practice. Incorporate dips into your everyday training and soon enough you'll develop what we like to call "obstacle immunity." Once you develop "obstacle immunity" any obstacle you face whether it be in a Spartan Race or in your everyday life, will become easier. Things will begin to just work and you'll no longer fear the unknown. It's not that they'll just become easier, it's more that you'll become better at handling them. Work hard enough and you just might earn yourself a burpee free race. So get to work, do some dips, and we'll see you at the finish line. Get after it Spartan! AROO!!!

VIERA, Fla. (AP) -- Washington's Davey Johnson sure doesn't act like the oldest manager in the major leagues this season.
Nationals outfielder Michael Morse says Johnson is in the weight room every morning, every day. Morse says Johnson is in shape and hopes he "can have half of his energy when I'm that old. . He knows more about electronics than I do, which is awesome."
The 69-year-old Johnson doesn't see himself as old, just more experienced. After taking over for Jim Riggleman midway through last season, he is entering his 16th year as a manager -- and running his first spring training since 2000, when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Johnson's communication skills have been a hit with Nationals players.
