Some great first date ideas from the gentlemen over at AskMen.
Happy Valentine's Day, Wing Girls, Dream Girls, and Guys! Today is a day meant to celebrate love. And what better way is there to celebrate love than by helping one of your single best friends find someone on Wingdate? She'll be so thankful. ♥
Monday Mornings After….share your weekend dating experiences here!
Great article today in USA today about old fashioned matchmaking.
"Is online dating perilous? No more than walking into a bar and meeting a stranger…I'm a big believer that online dating does work, but where we draw the line between exaggerating about weight, age and height is different from complete misrepresentation, such as in the Manti Te'o story. If you want to be successful with online dating, you need to be authentic and genuine."
Okay, so you've met someone fabulous on Wingdate. Now what?Here are some great first date tips for both men and women:
Okay, ladies, you set up one of your closest pals on Wingdate. Now what?! Here are some first date no-no's to share with your pal before her big date. http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/dating-advice/bad-dating-habits
This is the time of year many people choose to give online dating a try. Although it has become more and more common for people to meet through the web, some still see it as a last-ditch act of desperation. If you're considering it, don't let the stereotypes dissuade you.
Here's a wonderful story of online dating gone right. Remember, now is the perfect time to help your closest friends find love on Wingdate. It's free, it's simple, and it's fun.
"In the era dominated by the conventionless hookup culture, online dating is a very direct way of making it clear that you're not interested in pursuing the status quo. You don't want to shut up and hookup, you want to go out to dinner. You want to date. That is doing wonders for monogamy.
Trust me, if you're sick of the meaningless bar crawling and hooking up, and genuinely want to meet someone, online dating is the way to go. Give it a whirl. What have you got to lose?"
You might be asking yourself, "How is Wingdate different than the bazillions of other dating sites out there?" Simply put, Wingdate allows friends to help facilitate the dating process. C'mon, ladies, we all have that amazing single pal that we would love to help find love. This is your chance, as the Wing Girl, to look for a match for your female friends. Log on to Wingdate, create a profile for your girlfriend, and —viola!— you can start searching for that one perfect match for your female friend. If you're a Guy looking for love, you simply create your profile and wait to hear from a Wing Girl. It's that easy!
Once you find a match, be sure to send them to this site. It has awesome winter date ideas that won't break the bank!

Mike Dunleavy hit a 3-pointer with 57.4 seconds left to cap a 10-0 run and the Milwaukee Bucks pulled away to beat the Suns 98-94 on Thursday night, snapping a 24-game losing streak in Phoenix.

Milwaukee has won four of six since interim coach Jim Boylan replaced Scott Skiles on Jan. 8.
Shannon Brown scored 20 points off the bench and Luis Scola added 16 for the Suns, who have lost four straight at home for the first time since 2004 and have dropped 13 of 15 overall.

Documents show the plan was eventually dismissed as impractical."

Sep 22, 2010 GMTI am always of two minds about office suites or applications for children. On the one hand, I can see the value of offering a simplified interface for learning on. On the other hand, I wonder if children shouldn't start with the interface they will be using as adults, so they don't how to learn the interface all over again. OOo4Kids balances these conflicting needs better than any application I've ever seen -- so much so that I think that the main OpenOffice.org project could benefit from adopting its code.As the name implies, OOo4Kids is a version of OpenOffice.org designed for children between the ages of 7 and 12. Its recently-announced 1.0 release is available in 13 languages, and on...
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Sep 13, 2010 GMTIt started out such a good day. Then I came face to face with ignorance.I set out this afternoon to buy a netbook computer, in the hopes of taking advantage of the back-to-school sales. I came armed with a USB drive with a bootable copy of GNU/Linux on it. Rather than buy a computer and take it home, only to haul it back if it didn't run GNU/Linux, I planned to start it from the USB drive in the store first.In case you are unclear on a concept, when you boot from a USB drive, it takes the place of the hard drive. Nothing is installed on the hard drive, and nothing is deleted. Remove the USB drive, and, the next time the computer starts, it boots normally from the hard drive. The only...
Sep 09, 2010 GMTAs a writer, I have a weakness for word processors. The announcement of a new one leaves me slavering to try it. But new word processors are rare these days, so when I saw an announcement for WriteType last week, I immediately downloaded it. However, despite some interesting intentions and features, WriteType is still very much in beta -- and very pssibly misses an important point as well.Max Shinn, the lead developer, began WriteType when his mother, an elementary school teacher, told him about a proprietary hardware word processor for beginners whose main selling point was word completion. Shinn's response was to begin development of WriteType, which he describes on the project's home...
Aug 30, 2010 GMTWith the rise of the HTML 5 video and formats like Google's WebM, Flash may be on the way out. But for now, it remains the dominant format for viewing videos on the web. Consequently, from a desktop user's perspective, few free software projects are as important as a free-license Flash player. And that, in turn, is why the announcement that GNASH .8.8 was released last week, and is supposed to be compatible with all Youtube videos is important news -- and disappointing when it proves not to be completely true. Not, you understand, that I would be unduly disappointed if I could never read the latest stupid video posted on Facebook. In fact, in some moods, I believe that the productivity of...
Aug 20, 2010 GMTThe latest Debian Project News recently announced a code freeze in preparation for a new release by the end of 2010. It's a sign of the times that the news went mostly unreported. Which makes me wonder: What is Debian's role today?There's no doubt that, in most people's minds, Debian no longer occupies the place it once had in free and open source software (FOSS). Five or six years ago, upcoming Debian releases, or elections for Debian Project Leader were major news in the community (I know, because I covered them). Now, few of the news sites gives much attention to either event.Partly, this change is due to shifting priorities. The emphasis in FOSS today is on usability, and Debian...
Aug 12, 2010 GMTAs a Canadian, I'm always irked by airy statements by Americans that they won World War II. Yes, the Americans entry into the war was decisive, but their side was not called the Allies for nothing, and many other countries contributed to the victory or at least kept the fight alive in the years before the United Stated joined in. With all respect, I feel much the same way about the recent interview on Wired.com with Jim Zemlin, the executive director of the Linux Foundation/Published to coincide with this week's LinuxCon in Boston, the interview begins by describing Zemlin as "part legal guardian, part keeper of the flame. The non-profit foundation he runs is charged with promoting...

However, my enjoyment is diminished by the sometimes less than expert treatment of computer security issuesLarsson gets some things right when he discusses computers. His detailed stats for a state of the art Mac in 2005 sound correct to my memory, and his assumption that most people do not protect their computers with a password, much less any other security measures is --...

Top picks 2012: Royal Bank of Scotland
P and Q preferred shares are a solid investment despite halt in dividend payments.
By Vivian Lewis, Global Investing
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has tripped over its kilt. Nevertheless, as our top idea for 2012, we recommend the bank's preferred shares, specifically the non-cumulative preferred Q (RBS-Q) issues. We also like the preferred P series (RBS-P), which we already own.
RBS P & Q preferreds are not paying dividends until June 2012. However, I believe the dividends will resume then, which will be reflected in the price.
The shares were issued at $25 and targeted at U.S. retail investors. Interest payments were stopped for two years by the European Union's competition directorate because the British government controls 83% of RBS shares.
This allegedly creates a distortion in eurozone bank finance. However, the European Central Bank decision to allow banks to borrow for up to three years at 0.50% interest means that RBS is not getting a bargain because of its state ownership.
Moreover, RBS has been actively reducing its capital requirements by selling off assets acquired during its discredited former management's spending spree. It has already disposed of enough assets to reduce its need for government funding, and is selling its brokerage unit Hoare Govett, which it is not allowed to finance using branch deposits under new Basel rules.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., RBS is building up a business of exchange-traded notes (ETN) tracking stocks in the oil, gold, and pharmaceutical sectors.
In our view, it cannot fail to pay its other shareholders, even on the preferreds, and still maintain its ETN business, which is ultimately backed only by the bank's own credit and solvency.
We already own the RBS preferred shares series P, as noted above, and now recommend the preferred Q at under $12 for a double-digit payout level starting in six months. Mind your Ps and Qs!

A law banning the use of mobile devices while driving in Mount Pleasant is closer to becoming a reality following a committee meeting Tuesday afternoon.
The town's attorney and Mount Pleasant Police Chief Carl Ritchie are expected to deliver an ordinance in August which would ban motorists from using mobile devices while driving. Mayor Billy Swails made the ordinance request on Tuesday during the committee meeting.
Swails had said he wanted to give state lawmakers first crack at passing a law, but when they didn't, he decided the town should do it."I don't like texting and driving because a lot of people can't multi task," said Cassie Benfield. "They're going to end up wrecking somebody.""I think it's about time," said Tootie Brigman."To be honest, I live in Myrtle Beach and I've been screaming for years to my legislators that they really need to stop this idiocy."Swails says he's seen too many close calls involving drivers who text, especially young drivers."It's something that I think needs to be done," Swails said."We've waited two years now. It's time to do something, and we're going to do something."Some say the town council has no business talking about a texting ban."I think it's a violation of personal liberties," Mark McQueary said."Of course, you should not text while you're driving. That's painfully obvious. But creating a law, that's just silly.""I try not to take anybody's liberty away from them," Swails said."I think they can pull to the side of the road if it's that important and call somebody or text them then. We'll have some complaints about it, but also some attaboys on it. We need to do it".It could mean time is running out to text while driving in town.The mayor says it will be up to the police department and the town's legal staff to determine how to enforce the ban if it becomes law.

I am originally from Guam and I like to cook and eat. While doing cooking or eating, I like to watch movies!

My favorite genre is contemporary romance; my favorite authors are Rachel Gibson, Shannon K. Butcher, and Lori Foster. While reading I like to listen to music; specifically country music.

If I am not cooking, eating, reading or listening to music, I am most likely working or hanging out in the Writing Center!

I enjoy reading fantasy/sci-fi, nonfiction, and comics. I am interested in all things related to Japan, and love to daydream. I'm thrilled to be part of the Writing Center team this year, and look forward to working with you all!

Senior, Chemistry
Hey everyone, I'm Michelle. You can call me Shell, although only my dentist calls me that. I'm a senior and a chemistry major at SU, but I love using the right half of my brain too sometimes...when I'm free, I enjoy painting ducks and sailboats, swimming, hiking, and picking berries in flowery subalpine meadows...I'm happy to be at the writing center a second time around, and to be able to help students with their work in any way that I can. I'm here for you if you'd like support with your essays, chemistry papers, or if you'd just like a picture of a duck. Ask for me at the writing center!
Senior, International Studies
Hi there! I'm Elizabeth Eickelberg from the beautiful, and perpetually rainy, Portland Oregon. I am Sophomore here at SU where I am majoring in International Studies with a minor in Spanish. When I am not in class or studying I enjoy exploring the amazing city of Seattle, baking, watching movies, skiing, photography, volunteering, and being with friends. I love to write and am very excited to help my fellow students as a Writing Center consultant!
Junior, Humanities for Teaching
Hi, I'm Sierra and this is my second year as a consultant! I'm a junior Humanities for Teaching major, with an endorsement in grades K-8 and a possible French minor. I grew up in Portland, OR, and have decided upon coming to SU that I never want to leave the Pacific Northwest - except for my study abroad program next quarter in Paris! When I'm not working at the WC or daydreaming about my future travels, you can usually find me singing in the choir room, making playlists in the KSUB studio where I have a weekly show (Fridays from 4-6!), hanging out with Campus Ministry on retreats, searching for the perfect sweater at Value Village, or eating at any one of the amazing restaurants on Capitol Hill with my friends. I love photography, music, the outdoors, sushi, my golden retriever Cassie, and a mediocre cup of coffee. I am super excited to be a part of the Writing Center and I look forward to working with you this year!
Senior, Journalism
Back to Seattle U for my second year of consulting, I am excited to be a part of this wonderful Writing Center team again! Born and raised in Yakima, Washington, I have quickly fallen in love with Capitol Hill and Seattle. Despite the traffic, the hills, and the incessant rainy winters, I definitely consider Seattle, and this university, my home.While I love classes and learning, I spend a good chunk of my time doing a variety of other activities. I am an editor with the Seattle U newspaper, The Spectator, and I am an avid swing dancer. Century Ballroom is a great place for dancing on the Hill- you should join me some time! My favorite foods are spaghetti, popcorn and avocados. I enjoy speaking Spanish, wearing scarves, and playing Scrabble. I am excited to meet new people and learn from all my senior year experiences. Ama la vida!
Junior, Pre-Science
Hey, the name's Arianna and this is my first year as a consultant! I hail from the beautiful, albeit chilly, town of Eagle River, Alaska and enjoy calling Seattle my 'home away from home'. I'm currently a Pre-Science major but will soon transfer over to Diagnostic Ultrasound and (hopefully) double major in Studio Art. I also conduct tours over at the Admission Office, so if you ever see me around campus don't be afraid to say hi! I love useless information, traveling, watching far too many movies, collecting music, and spending time with my friends and/or my shih-tzu, Coco. I'm really excited to be joining such a tremendous group of people and look forward to having an awesome year here at the Writing Center!
Sophomore, Digital Design
Hello! I'm Elise Helm, a
second-year student from the glamorous suburb of Redmond, WA. I haven't
declared yet, but I'm most likely going to be a Digital Design major. This is
my first year as a Writing Center consultant. I hope to support communication
and clarity through many approaches to writing. When I'm not working, you can expect me to be watching reality
shows, exploring the coffee scene, singing in Chorale, questioning
my commitment to an art career, and buying Nutella in bulk.I look forward to working together and pushing horizons in
By the way, don't be deceived by the straightforward
spelling of my name. It's really pronounced AY-leez – stress on the first
syllable, ends with a Z sound. It's basically like saying Hailey + z, but without the H. Don't worry, we'll work on it.
Sophomore, Humanities for Teaching & English
Hi! My name is Theda Hovind and I am a sophomore in Matteo Ricci College. I am a Humanities for Teaching major and I hope to use my degree to help children either in a classroom setting or more broadly, such as social services or in education policy. In my free time, I enjoy a plethora of activities, mostly encompassed in friends and my church community. I spend a lot of my time with the Well (and related groups) and also exploring new places, like Pratt Park on Yesler or the Seattle Art Museum with friends. I also love to read, especially murder mysteries. Agatha Christie is a definite "always" choice for me. I also love to go on walks and work with children. I am excited to be working in the Writing Center, helping you and learning myself!
Junior, Nursing
Hi everyone! I am a sophomore nursing major from Bellevue, Washington. In my free time, I enjoy reading, yoga, and being with friends. I also love watching reality TV. This is my first year as a Writing Center consultant and I am very excited to meet new people and to work with other SU students!
Senior, Psychology
I am a
21-year-old psychology major from Salt Lake City. This will be by third year
consulting and final year at Seattle University. Aside from school, rugby,
biking and bouldering are the activities that keep me most busy in Seattle.
When I'm home, the list also includes snowboarding and bowling with friends. I
developed my love of writing and confidence as a writer in high school, thanks
to a couple great teachers, and feel lucky to be able to use those skills to
help other students as well as further them in a supportive writing community.
I am looking forward to adding a great final chapter to my time as a consultant
this coming year.
Senior, Humanities for Teaching
Hi there!
My name is Katy and I am a Humanities for Teaching major. Originally from
Shoreline (just twenty minutes north), I am a local that loves the liveliness
of city life but also seizes any chance to explore the beautiful Pacific
Northwest. When I am not studying or consulting with clients, I love to spend
time with family and friends. As a third-year consultant at the Writing Center
and a senior at SU, I look forward to making the most out of my last year here.
Feel free to stop by and say hi!
I'm originally from San Diego, California, but I now call Capitol Hill my home. As an English major, I am incredibly excited to work at the Writing Center. I see the opportunity to help others improve their writing as a chance to improve my own writing skills. In addition to my major, I am casually pursuing a minor in Studio Art. Writing and art are interests of mine because I think that they are two primary mediums for establishing a sense of self. While studying both English and Studio Art, I hope to discover more of who I am, and how my writing style and aesthetic help to define me as an individual. In addition, I hope to establish connections with those I work with by examining how their respective writing styles reflect who they are. I believe that there is room in college writing to convey a sense of individuality, and it is a goal of mine to bring that out in my work and the work of my future clients.
Junior, English/Creative Writing & Film Studies
there, my name is Alex (statistically you ought to know something like 1.5-3
Alex's, so the name shouldn't be a problem) and I am a first year writing
consultant. Coming from a military family I can't really say where I'm from,
but I've lived long enough in Washington to call it my home. Currently, (and
hopefully future…ly) I am studying Film and Creative Writing here at sunny SU,
and thoroughly enjoying both (the studies, not the sun—that part was a joke).
Unsurprisingly, I love watching films (and the odd TV show…
ok, ok a lot of TV shows), listening to audio books, enjoying good food, having
good conversation with friends, and using way too many parentheses in personal
documents (some of these at the same time, others… less so). In all seriousness
though, I am really beginning to love the Writing Center, and I hope you have
as much fun there as I do.
Senior, English/Creative Writing
Hi there. My name is Danielle, and this is my second year at the Writing Center. I am a senior majoring in creative writing. Out of all genres, I love to write poetry the most. Of course, it'd be a dream to become a published poet, but my current (and relatively new) dream is to become a university professor. Some of my other favorite things are photography, very dark chocolate, turtles, and dogs. I am looking forward to another great year at the Writing Center!
Junior, English/Creative Writing
Matt Pritchard is studying English with a concentration in Creative Writing. Matt is an avid cyclist, Salvador Dalí fan, and former diver. He also loves to read and write poetry. He is particularly fond of sonnets. Matt is excited to work for the Writing Center in order to help students develop their writing skills and gain confidence in using language.
Senior, Liberal Studies
Hello! My name is Anna Roberds and I am a Liberal Studies major and Math minor going into teaching. I was born in Seattle and have spent a couple of years living in the Midwest. I used to wonder why people choose to live in the Seattle area and I gladly took the opportunity to leave and move somewhere new. However, now that I am back in Washington, I can fully appreciate how lucky we are to live in the midst of mountains and surrounded by water (and no, I am not referring to the rain). If you are ever looking for me outside of school, a good bet is to look outside. I enjoy a number of activities including playing pick-up soccer, hiking, slack-lining, running, doing photography, and dancing in the rain. Whatever activity I am doing, I prefer to be with my friends.
Junior, Liberal Studies
am a junior Liberal Studies major with minors in Biology and Chemistry, which include
classes that factor into the prerequisite coursework for medical school. I am
primarily interested in medicine, but I also have aspirations of working in
international public health.
I am new to the writing center,
so I am excited to have the opportunity to work with new people and experience
writing in a different way.
Outside of
school, I love to travel, play music, and read. I am also eternally devoted to
my cat, who is perfect, but, sadly, he lives in Portland with my parents.
Junior, English & Women and Gender Studies
Hey! I'm Raveena Sajjan, a junior at Seattle U
from Bellingham, WA. I am an English and Women and Gender studies double major.
I was born in California, grew up in England, and finished my last two years of
high school in Bellingham, WA until moving to Seattle. This is my third year
both at Seattle U and as a member of the WC Staff. I worked as a
receptionist for the first two years and I'm very excited for my first year of
consulting.I can't wait to help all the new and returning
students make use of the Writing Center services while also using this
opportunity to grow as a writer myself.
Senior, English & Film Studies
I'm Christopher Schaap and I am currently a senior at Seattle U, working to major in Film Studies with a minor in Creative Writing. My two biggest passions in life are in both film and storytelling. And as much as I love watching and writing about movies, I love writing my screenplays even more - telling stories through my favorite medium of storytelling.
P.S. While it looks like "Shop" or "Shaap", my last name is pronounced "Skahp". That, right there, is a truly valuable piece of Writing Center information.
Sophomore, History & Theology
Hi! My name is Alex Thomas and I'm a History major hoping to eventually pursue a career in United Methodist Christian Ministry. I'm originally from a suburb located in between Washington D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland. When people ask me why I decided to go to a college across the country, I explain to them just how much I absolutely love the city of Seattle and SU. When I'm not at the Writing Center or in class, I may be at some Campus Ministry event (particularly The Well), doing community service with JustServe, goofing off with my friends, or exploring the city- especially all of the spectacular restaurants and coffee shops around Capitol Hill. I'm really excited to be working at the Writing Center as a first time consultant this year!
Junior, English/Creative Writing & History
I'm Madeline Williams, a sophomore at Seattle U. from Southern California, L.A. County. I'm currently a Creative Writing major, and I plan to minor in either History or Medieval Studies (although I may decide to go for a double major in History and English). While I love reading and writing above all else, I also enjoy running, occasionally playing the violin, old movies, window shopping, and brunch. I collect perfume and hedgehog figurines. I'm happy to be working at the Writing Center, and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!
Sophomore, English Literature & Theology
I'm Jamie Wipf and I am a sophomore English Lit major from Pasadena, Southern
California.Sometimes people ask me if I miss sunny California during
Seattle's dark winters, but honestly, I don't--I moved here for the clouds, and
I LOVE Seattle's rain. When I'm not working, I enjoy making music,
hanging with friends, and reading long books.I'm hoping that working at
the Writing Center will make me both a better writer and a better reader.
To prepare for employment, new writing consultants take a five-credit course: English 390: Tutoring Writing: Theory and Practice. As its name suggests, the course involves training in both writing center theory and practice. Central to the course, each consultant writes a narrative exploring his or her growth as a writer and conducts a major research project to investigate an aspect of learning, writing, or writing center work.Frequently consultants present their writing center research at regional or national confernces. As members of a lively learning community, consultants continue to develop through their time working in the Writing Center, regularly taking part in staff meetings and workshops.

Sen. Marco Rubio's impromptu water break during the Republican response to the State of the Union on Tuesday caused a stir on Twitter.Around 11 minutes into his speech, the Florida senator appeared to get a little dry-mouth, so he not-so-subtly reached for a bottle of water that was placed off camera. He then took a swig and returned to his speech. (CLICK THE VIDEO ABOVE TO WATCH THE SIP)The moment didn't go unnoticed online. Stevie B. tweeted: "I don't often drink water, but when I do it's Poland Springs- Marc Rubio""People are making a big deal out of #rubio's gaffe but I'm sure next week it will all just be water under the bridge," tweeted Stephen Kosloff."I think someone put Rubio's Water Bottle on Clint Eastwood's chair," said Amy Haberland.Some didn't find humor in the incident."If Marco rubio's water break was the biggest fault the liberals can find in his speech , I'd say Rubio did a pretty dang good job," said Ryan Wirsing.For his part, Rubio didn't run from the issue; he tweeted a picture of the now infamous Poland water bottle.

- Magnolia for brunchHappycamperDined on 9/21/2014My wife and I both enjoyed our Sunday brunch. We had very attentive waitress. Was pleased and will look forward to trying dinner menu when we return to Charleston in future.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service and Food!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/20/2014First visit into Charleston, had been trying to get in, but was booked. Finally got an opening. Server was fantastic, personable, friendly, but not stuffy. Recommendations were spot on, honest about not so great items. Have the scallops and tuna...both delicious, friends had the traditional fried chicken that they are known for. Great way to close our last meal in the city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wini3Dined on 9/20/2014Ordered steak.medium.sent back twice still m rare .....my friends were thru by then so did not have dinner
- A Must HavePleasureDined on 9/20/2014I ordered the steak with mashed potatoes goats cheese and brussell sprouts..the steak was excellent and cooked perfectly but I would have traded it for the potatoes and brussell. I still am remembering the taste which I can tell you I am not impressed easily.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent, Not Greatamw33629Dined on 9/19/2014I don't know if my expectations were too high but the food was just average. Nothing special at all.
- Magnolias..a favoriteLisaDined on 9/19/2014My husband and I went to Magnolias for our 20th wedding anniversary in Charleston. We first went to Magnolias the year after Hurricane Hugo hit. We had a waiter named Ed back then. He is still there and has waited on us since. A special request for Ed was granted for our dinner this weekend, which made it very special! Excellent restaurant. The food and service is phenomenal! I had the Parmesan encrusted flounder and husband had the fried chicken. I usually go to Charleston once/year. There are so many great restaurants in this foodie town that it can be hard to decide which to visit. Other restaurants have rotated on and off our list but Magnolias remains on it each and every year!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicoius but noisy!foodiechikDined on 9/19/2014AS always - Magnolias is a wonderful experience! Food was fabulous, service was wonderful - the only complaint is that it is much too noisy in the back room. would be great if they could do something with the acoustics there - we were yelling at each other across the table!Special Features:
- Pay attention to detailsTarheelDined on 9/19/2014Barely average. T-shirt and jeans and baseball cap wearing tourists dominated. It took 2 discussions with the waitress to find a solution to a food allergy issue - basically it's not about making the customer happy, but turning tables. Unless you order a bottle a wine, you get the basic wine glasses, but if you get a bottle they will bring proper red and white glasses - even when you ask for a proper glass the answer is "this is what you get". Little things make the difference, but Magnolias doesn't appear to care. The food was good, but the whole package is lacking.
- New Favoritefoodie500Dined on 9/16/2014As a local resident of Charleston, I've been to a lot of the notable restaurants downtown. I didn't understand the hype around it, but figured it was worth trying out the place. I was more than pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is beautiful, the service is great, the food is out of this world. I'm gluten-free, too, and the seafood over grits was AMAZING! It's a definite favorite. Everyone can find something on the menu to enjoy. I'm about to become a regular!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous All The WayMichaelOnMainDined on 9/16/2014The food was real southern and outstanding--My wife had the southern fried chicken and I had the shellfish grits. We shared the fried green tomatoes. The service was friendly, very efficient and answered all of our menu questions.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/15/2014Simply fantastic southern food!!! Everything was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Below expectationsEatouttoomuchDined on 9/14/2014Place busy. Food not up to billing. Okay but surprisingly ordinary.
- Loved it!lokilokiDined on 9/14/2014We had a great experience at Magnolias. Our server was amazing, food was good, and atmosphere was terrific. Beautiful southern charm! The only reason I didn't give it a perfect 5 stars was because I thought my entree lacked a bit of flavor, but my husbands entree was to die for. Pork tenderloin. Yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always greatJodyDined on 9/14/2014This is one of our favorites. We always can count on great food, service and southern hospitality. First time for brunch- we will be back.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/14/2014We had a lovely brunch at Magnolias. The caprese quiche was super yummy!Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/13/2014Food was excellent and always consistent. Waiter service is usually great....but for some reason this particular waiter appeared distracted....we had to repeat our orders...he appeared to be watching another waiter...maybe he was his mentor....to give him the benefit of the doubt. But overall a good experience and we will return.Special Features:
- Restaurant Week EndingthenotsopickyeaterDined on 9/12/2014The ambiance at Magnolia's was excellent - we were seated in the Gallery section which seemed to be much quieter than the front section - the paintings were interesting, the table nicely set. The waiter was helpful and friendly and the East Bay mojito was tasty. We started with the boiled peanut salad - delicious - and it was so sizeable I could have stopped there. We ordered the pork and the clams and mussels. The pork was incredibly tender with a polenta/grits pudding with it that had a little kick. I had the clams and mussels and was concerned that the smoked bacon would be too smoky - not so - but the bacon did, in my opinion, overtake the taste of the seafood. The seafood was tender - wish the bacon hadn't been so overpowering.Special Features:
- Awesome dinner4friendsfromphillyDined on 9/12/2014For a special evening in Charleston, this is a MUST! Outstanding food, service and extra care to make the evening special. Steven, our waiter, was simply awesome. Food... incredible. No visit to Charleston is complete without a meal at Magnolia's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 2nd visit and still amazed!NMR7Dined on 9/11/2014I love Magnolias! The fried mac'n'cheese with bacon jam is amazing as is the buttermilk chicken! This time I tried the strawberry shortcake dessert. Excellent! We also really loved the atmosphere.Special Features:
- yummytummyyummytummyDined on 9/11/2014This restaurant is charming in appearance and has an efficient and friendly staff. The food is delicious and artfully presented. The menu covers all tastes. I had a fish appetizer, a steak entree, and the best pecan pie in the area. They also serve terrific prosecco, which is not always easy to find.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- :(OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/9/2014A disappointment......................................... ....
- Restaurant Week Menu ExcelsPabloDined on 9/8/2014Boiled peanuts, pickled okra and a tasty buttermilk dressing on romaine lettuce made for a great first course. Pork tenderloin with field peas and a spicy pepper sauce was perfect. Triple Chocolate dessert with white chocolate ice cream topped it off. Three courses, $30. What a deal. The pecan crusted chicken breast was a hit with my wife as well as the deviled eggs made with pimiento cheese. Our server Erin was attentive and pleasant. The only downside was the noise level. Voices were bouncing off the wall and the party of six behind me tended to use their outside voices. Great dinner! We'll be back.Special Features:
- MaryMarymessDined on 9/8/2014Exceptional food and efficient fun fabulous service by Travis! Our #1 exper in charleston!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful ExperiencemarianneDined on 9/8/2014We came back to Magnolias, because we very much enjoyed a meal there around 8 years ago. It did not disappoint. The food and service were outstanding! Our server, Billy, was so attentive and he had a great personality. He made sure that my onion allergy was addressed. The shellfish and grits was fantastic! Everyone at the table enjoyed their meals, as well. My husband had a delicious chicken breast with peach glaze. My friend had the vegetable dish. Her husband had the clams and mussels. Dessert was excellent, also. The chocolate cake was served with chocolate and caramel sauce and white chocolate ice cream. Whenever we get back to Charleston, we will definitely eat at Magnolias again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Very EnjoyableOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/6/2014The food was wonderful and we were pleasantly surprised by the large portions, especially since we had ordered off the Restaurant Week menu.

- First trip to CharlestonCreekgirl5Dined on 9/6/2014Where to takes guests for lunch who had never been to Charleston? Having lived in the area for the last 35 years, I am familiar with all the good downtown restaurants . My dilemma was that there are so many wonderful places to dine. For first timers I wanted southern cuisine with a flair. The menu at Magnolia's is varied and includes excellent appetizers. For example, the spring rolls and the fried green tomatoes are outstanding - the best I've ever tasted. Our entrees of flounder, cobra, and crab cakes were equally impressive. Magnolia's convinced our friends that Charleston's reputation for having superior cuisine is not a myth. If ever in doubt of which restaurant you can count on to always impress, choose Magnolia's,Special Features:

Thank you for stopping by our booth at Delridge Day. We will transcribe your comments and post them soon. Your input will help us establish the priorities that we'll address in our North Delridge Action Plan.
Also, we're seeking volunteers who live, work, or spend time in the neighborhood to serve on a project advisory committee for the North Delridge Action Plan.
For more information about both engagement opportunities, check out our Get Involved Page.
It has been 15 years since Delridge completed its neighborhood plan. Together, the community and the City have accomplished many of the neighborhood plan goals. However, some of the plan's priorities are out of date. It's time to work with the Delridge community to establish current priorities and to develop an action plan to achieve those priorities.
Our collaborative planning effort will address three areas of opportunity. These opportunity areas may expand or change as we engage the community in a conversation about the future of Delridge.
Create Great Community Places
Improve Community Health
Build Community Capacity to Identify Priorities & Take Action
The Delridge Action Plan will use the Healthy Living Framework to focus attention on how neighborhood planning can improve our health, connect people and places, and make sure places serve people. The framework proposes that a healthy Delridge includes strong community and organizations, healthy people and families, and a supportive physical environment.
Our planning process and action plan will engage the full range of community stakeholders, including historically underrepresented communities, using the Department of Neighborhoods' Public Outreach and Engagement Liaison. Our engagement process will include an advisory team that will help create an ongoing and representative committee tasked with implementing the Delridge Action Plan.
The Delridge Action Plan seeks to support a healthy neighborhood that:
Our action plan will define community and City strategies that address key priorities developed through the planning process, with the aim of ensuring Delridge's people and places can thrive.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: Deficit caused by wars, tax breaks and Wall Street | The Raw Story
We have to realize what this country's economy has become. Our monetary policy, through the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, privatized the money supply, gathers the wealth, puts it in the hands of the few while the Federal Reserve can create money out of nothing, give it to banks to park at the Fed while our small businesses are starving for capital.
Mark my words — Wall Street cashes in whether we have a default or not. And the same type of thinking that created billions in bailouts for Wall Street and more than $1 trillion in giveaways by the Federal Reserve today leaves 26 million Americans either underemployed or unemployed. And nine out of ten Americans over the age of 65 are facing cuts in their Social Security in order to pay for a debt which grew from tax cuts for the rich and for endless wars.
There is a massive transfer of wealth from the American people to the hands of a few and it's going on right now as America's eyes are misdirected to the political theater of these histrionic debt negotiations, threats to shut down the government, and willingness to make the most Americans pay dearly for debts they did not create.
These are symptoms of a government which has lost its way, and they are a challenge to the legitimacy of the two-party system.
Timeline of how parties in power have addressed the national debt in recent history.
The political brinksmanship of recent months highlights what we see as America's governance and policymaking becoming less stable, less effective, and less predictable than what we previously believed. The statutory debt ceiling and the threat of default have become political bargaining chips in the debate over fiscal policy. Despite this year's wide-ranging debate, in our view, the differences between political parties have proven to be extraordinarily difficult to bridge, and, as we see it, the resulting agreement fell well short of the comprehensive fiscal consolidation program that some proponents had envisaged until quite recently.
How the Billionaires Broke the System
The US deficit reduction plan makes no sense – until you remember who's behind the Tea Party movement.
By George Monbiot. Published in the Guardian 1st August 2011
There are two ways of cutting a deficit: raising taxes or reducing spending. Raising taxes means taking money from the rich. Cutting spending means taking money from the poor. Not in all cases of course: some taxation is regressive; some state spending takes money from ordinary citizens and gives it to banks, arms companies, oil barons and farmers. But in most cases the state transfers wealth from rich to poor, while tax cuts shift it from poor to rich.
So the rich, in a nominal democracy, have a struggle on their hands. Somehow they must persuade the other 99% to vote against their own interests: to shrink the state, supporting spending cuts rather than tax rises. In the US they appear to be succeeding.
Partly as a result of the Bush tax cuts of 2001, 2003 and 2005 (shamefully extended by Barack Obama), taxation of the wealthy, in Obama's words, "is at its lowest level in half a century". The consequence of such regressive policies is a level of inequality unknown in other developed nations. As the Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz points out, in the past 10 years the income of the top 1% has risen by 18%, while that of blue collar male workers has fallen by 12%.
The deal being thrashed out in Congress as this article goes to press seeks only to cut state spending. As the former Republican senator Alan Simpson says, "the little guy is going to be cremated." That, in turn, will mean further economic decline, which means a bigger deficit. It's insane. But how did it happen?
The immediate reason is that Republican members of Congress supported by the Tea Party movement won't budge. But this explains nothing. The Tea Party movement mostly consists of people who have been harmed by tax cuts for the rich and spending cuts for the poor and middle. Why would they mobilise against their own welfare? You can understand what is happening in Washington only if you remember what everyone seems to have forgotten: how this movement began.
On Sunday the Observer claimed that "the Tea Party rose out of anger over the scale of federal spending, and in particular in bailing out the banks." This is what its members claim. It's nonsense.
The movement started with Rick Santelli's call on CNBC for a tea party of city traders to dump securities in Lake Michigan, in protest at Obama's plan to "subsidise the losers." In other words, it was a demand for a financiers' mobilisation against the bail-out of their victims: people losing their homes. This is the opposite of the Observer's story. On the same day, a group called Americans for Prosperity (AFP) set up a Tea Party Facebook page and started organising Tea Party events. The movement, whose programme is still lavishly supported by AFP, took off from there.

411 Games Top 5 02.15.13: Top 5 Games Featuring Creatures
Posted by
Sean Garmer
on 02.16.2013
From Mass Effect, Diablo 3 and Silent Hill 2 to Pokemon, Altered Beast and more, the 411 staff counts down their top 5 creature-featuring games of all-time!
Hello everyone, I hope it has been a good week for all the readers out there, oh no! Aliens and Monsters have attacked 411.
* For this week's Top 5, I wanted to do something in honor of the Aliens game coming out this week, plus I also wanted to do something the total opposite of Valentine's Day. So, I had the staffers choose only from games that had Monsters, Aliens, or Creatures, no Vampires, Ghosts, or Zombies were allowed.*
Stephen Randle (Games Zone Reviewer, Quizmaster for Four Player Co-op)
- Man, what is this doing here? I don't even like Pokemon. Okay, that's not entirely true. I did sort of like it back when there were 150 Pokemon and I could probably even remember all of their names with some prompting. Now, what are there, five thousand? Six thousand? I feel old. Anyway, they're Pokemon. Pocket Monsters. Do I need to explain this any further, for the people who aren't aware of Nintendo's cash cow franchise for the past decade and change?
- As a game, Spore sucked. But as a creature creator, it was the very definition of the only limits being what your sick and twisted mind could imagine. So, of course, most people made variations on genitalia. Not me, though, I stayed strong. Which isn't to say my sentient ape-bird-man thing wasn't an affront to God and evolution combined, but still, at least it wasn't a walking penis.
- The minions of Hell over all three games have been a combination of inventive, memorable, and deeply, deeply, twisted. Anyone who has braved the dark depths in and around Tristram can remember the shrill cries of Fallen, the bleating cry of the Goat-men (who may have a species name by now, but really, they'll always be Goat-men), the gutteral barks of the Travincal Council, and half a hundred other beasties, each more horrible than the last.
Star Wars
- Yeah, I'm taking an easy one. For sheer variety of ridiculous creatures, nothing can beat the crazy mind of George Lucas and his design team, resulting in a metric tonne of games in which the myriad strange and oft-times wacky races immortalized in the Cantina scene (among others) have appeared as enemies and allies. Most notable in any Star Wars video game, of course, is the Rancor, which is always programmed to show off exactly how lucky Luke got in Jabba's Palace.
Mass Effect
- This is not just for the enemy creatures, the Reapers, the Collectors, the Geth, and their minions, which are some of the most gruesome, intimidating, and dangerous things you'll ever see down the barrel of a gun (go ahead, read up on what Brutes and Cannibals actually are, I'll wait), but then there's the races you're actually allied with, brutish Krogan, myserious and ethereal Quarians, and my favourite, the Turians, who look like they were carved out of rocks, yet have the most eloquent, relatable, and surprisingly civilized personalities I've ever seen in an alien race.
Lee Jones (Reader Voice)
5 - Splicers (Bioshock) - Okay they're def my most human on this list but they've changed their DNA so I'm counting them as monsters. There's a variety of splicers but the creepiest for me have always been the base form. They're insane, rush you as a mob, mutter sick things to themselves and you just know if they killed you some of them would do sick things to your corpse. The early scene with the pram remains one of gamings lasting memories for me and set these guys up perfectly.
4 - Bowser (SimCity) - The least threatening of my monsters but its not the Mario series that got this guy here, its SimCity. I remember first time I saw Bowser appear in that game, I was still building but things were looking up, then Bowser appeared and acted like Godzilla and just smashed through my buildings, and what could I do about it? Not a damn thing but weather it out and rebuild once he cleared off. The guy keeps reappearing too, now thats a threat to humanity.
3 - Archdemon (Dragon Age Origins) - I knew I was going to include at least one dragon. I knew I was going to avoid things like vampires, zombies, aliens, and all the other standard types but dragons are cool. So why the Archdemon? Because its a bad ass. Its the endgame, you're maxed out, your party is maxed out and you still need an army to help defeat this beast. Its a relentless barrage of attacks make this an engrossing boss battle. So yeah, being badass is always a good qualifier. Dragons done right here.
2 - Poison Headcrabs (Half lLife 2) - Little buggers. Not that tough to beat but if they get just 1 hit in you drop to 1% health and spend the rest of the fight shitting it, nothing makes you more desperate than sitting on the lowest of health. Going from 100% and feeling safe-ish to being near death in 1 hit sucks. Makes for good gameplay though.
1 - Flamelurker (Demons Souls) - I've never ran from a monster quite so much as this beast. For a game that revels in being tough Flamelurker still stands out. You spend the entire fight running and healing whilst trying to do what little damage you can get it in. Its a war of attrition in a game that kills quick. Sure I've heard that there are cheap ways to do safe poison attacks or bring down a rain of arrows but thats not the experience I had, mine was duck and cover. Thank god wasn't a melee character, I pity those guys when it came to this battle.
Todd Vote (Games Zone Reviewer)
Monster Party
- A kid caught in a fantasy world type scenario. A creature stops a kid on the way home from a baseball game, and requests the child's assistance in ridding his home of vile evil monsters. The two combine forces, and you are off to rid Bert's "Dark World" of variations on every monster you can think of from Medusa to Dracula...
Blaster Master
- This old NES Gem featured a whole boatload of creatures. The game follows a sort of Alice in Wonderlandideal of a kid following his pet from down a hole in the ground. Once in the whole, the kid uses a tank to fight radioactive creatures and hunt down his frog... Creatures every where!
Evil Dead Games
- Can't choose just one, as they all basically feature the same evil, manifesting itself in the form of different creatures throughout the series. Though I will say, there are two of Ash's video game exploits that stand out to me the most. Hail to the King, and Fistful of Boomstick.
Gears of War
- One of the best modern shooter campaigns out there in my opinion. Battling the locusts and the lambent throughout the series was great fun. Doesn't hurt that the creatures were given a good storyline to make you care about things.
The Suffering
- One of the forgotten gems of the last generation. Torque's time in a haunted prison was a great fresh take on the survival horror game. The creatures that were created for this game were incredible... I would love to see WB Games tackle this gem from Midways past at some point. The second game left a bit to be desired, and convoluted things a bit, but give it another go.
Wyatt Beougher (Writes A Bunch of Stuff in the MMA Zone)
Altered Beast
- I was a young man of 11 when the 16-bit console war was raging, and being firmly in the middle class, I was forced to choose between a SNES and a Genesis. Since two of my good friends had Genesis (Genesi?) already, I opted for the SNES. Altered Beast was the one game, more than any other, that made me question my decision. You go from a human to a welewolf to a werebear to a werelion? Sign me up! And then the ultra-creepy "Power Up" guy? Icing on the cake. This game doesn't really hold up, but I had to put it on the list.
Papa Y Yo
- I remember reading about this game somewhere, so when it popped up in my "What's New" section on my PS3, I figured I'd give it a try. The gameplay isn't particularly challenging, and the game itself is rather short, but it's beautifully rendered and the storyline is heartbreaking as it unfolds. Quico's interactions with the monster are well thought-out and contain enough realism that they don't lose their emotional impact. This game was a pleasant surprise, and I'd like to say more but I don't want to give away anything.
Gears of War games
- The Locusts count, right? Until this past Christmas, I'd only played the Gears games in single-player and local co-op (I abhor online gaming with XBox Live because of the etiquette of the average user). If things had remained that way, this game probably wouldn't have made the list; however, my sister bought my soon-to-be brother-in-law a 360 with GoW3, and he introduced me to Horde mode with a couple of his friends. That added a whole new world to the game, and when you see a Boomer or Armored Kantus or heaven forbid a Bloodmount, Brumak, or Serapede, and your partners are down and you're dangerously low on ammo, you know you're in for the fight of your life. The grotesque nature of your opponents adds to the thrill in a way that the Call of Duty games (and even Halo with its more sanitized opposition) can't touch.
Silent Hill 2
- Between the nurses, the mannequins,and Pyramid Head, this game featured some of the most memorable video game creatures of all time. The fact that it was an awesome survival horror game was what made the creatures mentioned so famous though.
- How about a game where you start out fairly normal and gain abilities that make you more and more creauture-like? Sure, Prototype's story had its issues (as did the game itself) but for life stress relief, few things are better than taking a levelled-up Alex Mercer and just going nuts on enemies for a while, be they of the military or creature variety.

Last month, I wrote about the benefits of vegetarian diets. While eating less meat would generally be beneficial for most people and the planet, it should not be taken to an extreme in one's diet.
The article below is from a hard-core Vegan (someone who eats no animal products whatsoever) who started eating meat because she became sick and depleted from a strict Vegan diet. During her transformation, her idea that a Vegan diet is better for the planet got smashed. It is eye-opening and deserves a full read.
Source: Voracious Eats
As I learned while sitting at the metaphorical feet of the world's leading revolutionary ecologists and food rights advocates, the only way for humanity to survive in any meaningfully sustainable way is for us to live entirely within our local food systems, eating the plants and animals that naturally live on our immediate landbase. And this most definitely does not include millions of acres of grains, the cultivation of which is amenable to only very small parts of the globe. To produce the vegan foods that I used to consider so cruelty-free; modern, industrialized agriculture forces land to grow crops that are alien and unnatural to it, robs the planet of its resources, destroys whole eco-systems, wipes out entire species of plants and animals, and creates a chaos of death and destruction as more and more wild land is needed to replace the devastated cropland.
