A word from Capital City Chophouse
For the past 11 years, customers have been streaming into the Capital City Chop House citing the delicious food, the great service and the good value. Why is it that many guests return to the Chop House so often that the staff are able to greet them by name? It's because the restaurant maintains a level of quality and consistency- thanks to the credentialed chefs and experienced wait staff- that diners have come to depend on. Perhaps the most important constant at the Chop House is the Certified Angus Beef Brand; considered the "royalty of beef." Less than 8% of all beef makes the CAB grade, yet the Chop House serves only CAB across the board, from center-cut steaks to burgers. The Chop House philosophy is to let its delicious steaks speak for themselves, seasoning them with a simple grating of tricolored peppercorns. The Chop House serves only the highest quality of products available; join us for lunch or dinner. Private banquet rooms are available.Continued

- RussDined on 8/30/2014Made a note via Opentable that it was our wedding anniversary. We were greeted at the door with a "Happy Anniversary" by the person who appeared to be the manager. Our server Brandon also noted our anniversary in a very sincere manner and took very good care of us throughout our evening. We were given free dessert as well which was a very nice gesture. Everything we ordered was exactly as it should have been, good crabcakes and prime rib cooked to order.
- Best Steaks & Outstanding ServiceJAPUNCDined on 8/30/2014Capital City Chophouse continues to serve some of the best steaks in the Triangle. The food is cooked to perfection and flavorful, but not overly priced. It's a great deal compared to other local steak restaurants. The atmosphere is always pleasant, and the staff is well versed and prepared to make recommendations. Also, the staff takes pride in providing outstanding customer service. Even those preparing and cooking the food inquired of our meal, and genuinely wanted to know if we enjoyed every bite. We can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect end of day business dinnerevans2468Dined on 8/28/2014I really was very pleased with this whole experience. We had some of our party hung up in traffic and one needing to leave early. The server was wonderful! We felt relaxed and well attended to without interruption and intrusion into our conversation. Food was terrific, and server was aware of the time issues. Would definitely go back again.Special Features:
- disappointedlyndylynDined on 8/23/2014I have to say we love our steak and we went to the Chophouse on a friends's recommendation. The place was empty the ambiance was old and we were very disappointed in our food. Our steaks were over cooked and served on a cold plate. Our sweet potato mash was inedible we think instead of cinnamon they put cayenne pepper. We brought it to the waiters attention and he mentioned that it has a hint of cayenne pepper but when you sweat eating it there is something wrong. We actually over heard another table complain about the same thing. Our dessert took over 15 mins we think longer than our steaks. Overall the place was empty we were in and out and finished with our dinner in 1hr 10min - disappointed
- detailOasisDined on 8/23/2014The food was not what I expected. It was average in taste. Waiter was excellent. Needs a detail cleaning in the windows,blinds and walls.Special Features:

- DTOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/26/2014Food and atmosphere were fantastic. Just the kind of place you would want to take a client too. Also great place to treat your wife on one of those special occasions. Have to try the tuna appetizer as well as the calamari. Steaks were cooked perfect.

- Wonderful for lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/17/2014A group of my former coworkers and I met here to catch up on life. The facilities, service and food was wonderful.Special Features:
- Never disappoints!FrenchseashellDined on 7/16/2014Every time I crave red meat, I go to the Chophouse. No steakhouse makes filet mignon and prime rib the way they do, not even the overrated and overpriced Ruth's Christie. The bernaise is perfect. The wedge is superb and satisfying with chopped tomatoes and ample bacon (perfect for two). I always leave happy. I also love that it's a casual and friendly place. No need to get all dolled up. All in all, a wonderful experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- haven't been dissapointed yet...OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/16/2014I always choose the Filet Mignon, and they have always been tasty, lean and delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great steakslukewarmwfDined on 7/14/2014the menu has changed much over the years as what they do they do well. steaks and cocktails are awesome!Special Features:
- PoorpaytonVIPDined on 7/9/2014Pleasant hostess. The good news ends there. Worst service we've had in 10 years. Openly mocked us for ordering seafood 'Did you see the sign on the outside of the building, it says chop house'. Never asked if we needed refills on wine or water. (Both glasses were empty.) Never checked on the table but did have time to laugh with friends. No offer for dessert or coffee, just dropped the check and walked away. The food itself was the single worst meal we've eaten in 5 years. The décor' was bad circa 1980's. (Green paint, worn wood, tattered carpet.) The manager seemed to only be going through the motions. The only reason we didn't speak with someone while there, was it was obvious no one cared. That's what $100 will get you.
- Great SteakhouseuvaeemanDined on 7/3/2014A little out of the way, I've gone here at scattered special occasions throughout the last decade. I'm not sure why it wasn't busier... Maybe because it was July 2nd. The food is just delicious. I had lamb chops which were very good and perfectly cooked. My wife had the sirloin which was extremely high quality although a touch under done. We really liked the caesar salads. Sides were good and the mile high chocolate cake was enough for four people! It's not cheap, but the decor is more suitable for a nice dinner than the Angus Barn and I didn't feel nickled and dimed like Ruth Chris. We plan to go here more often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place to DineTrainloverDined on 6/28/2014We have visited this location a number of times and each time we leave very satisfied, full, and happy. Highly recommend.Special Features:

- chabcollardDined on 6/24/2014I liked the place but it was not as good overall as its competitors. The food was okay but not spectacular, the service was average, and the ambience was average. I think you once did better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food,but slow for main mealILIKEPROMPTNESSDined on 6/23/2014We had a group of 9 and were approached quickly by our waitress. We had our drinks quickly. We ordered apps and had those quickly and the salads and soups followed timely after that. Then we experienced a very long wait until our entrées were delivered. There was no update during the wait and no apologies that the entrees were late. All the food was excellent though.Special Features:
- Fantastic findCindyLou75Dined on 6/21/2014We went to celebrate our anniversary and were not disappointed. I had told them we were celebrating and they pulled out all the stops to make it personal for us. The food was excellent and perfectly cooked all around. My only regret is that I didn't order the mile high chocolate cake and take it home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GingerDined on 6/14/2014I wouldn't go back or recommend to anyone. Service was really bad and for the price the food so, so. We waited a long time for our salads, than the meal came right after our salads were serviced, Couldnt get a second drink if we stood on our chairs with a loud speaker. Than during our meal they said we need to order desert now because the kitchen was closing (9:30). We skipped the desert, paid and left and went someplace else for coffee and desert.
- Best Steak in CaryJim0203Dined on 6/13/2014If you want a GOOD Steak .. come HERE.Special Features:
- Best in Class Time and AgaintravelerVIPDined on 6/10/2014This is a neighborhood Gem. Virtually just off the RDU Airport grounds and you will find this great gem. We have eaten there a number if times and we have always been pleased. Try it - you'll like it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful mealHappyDinerDined on 6/7/2014The food and service was wonderful. The menu offered a great variety from which to choose. We were all happy with our selections, including our three teenaged sons. Thank you for a wonderful meal!Special Features:
- Service Failure-No Recovery AttemptglobaldinerVIPDined on 6/4/2014While dining with 3 friends at Capital City Chophouse, I requested a very simple modification to the menu item-no potatoes on my plate. This threw them for a loop and when I received my meal my 3 friends were within a few bites of being finished. The wait person blamed the kitchen (what a team player), but most of all the head waiter and manager, while offering apologies for ruining our meal, refused to offer any accommodation. While I wasn't expecting them to comp the meal, priced as if in NYC, a free cup of coffee, desert, or glass of wine would have cost them virtually nothing. This group apparently has little training in service. Failure to attempt to recover from service failure leads to loss of customers-like me.

- Great, as alwaysPickeyEaterDined on 5/23/2014We had dinner here Friday night and were happy that they still have the Friday and Saturday night prime-rib special, which my husband and I both got. It was cooked perfectly. The salads were also very good....Caesar for me, garden with blue-cheese dressing (full of chunks of cheese) for my husband. We chose onion rings for our second side. (The prime-rib comes with 2 sides for $29.95... a great deal.) I'm always saying I'm going to try something else on the menu for dinner, but can't resist the prime-rib, which I rarely make at home...no pun intended). We also enjoy having lunch here. The decor reminds me of a gentlemen's club from back in the day....all plaids and dark woods...very atmospheric. One of our favorite places to eat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MaryVIPDined on 5/22/2014The blue crab bisque was salty but the appetizers we ordered were all good - seared tenderloin tips, calamari and sashimi tuna. Banana Foster was so delicious(and big enough to share).Special Features:
- Business DinnerStevenDined on 5/21/2014I usually come here for lunch or dinner with business associates. Always a good meal. Service is excellent. This time the steak was a little under-done, but otherwise everything else was up to par. I always get the Crab Bisque, so I highly recommend it. I also recommend the chopped salad with Ahi Tuna.I would recommend this to a friend.

MISSION – Vernice Maxine Brown Porter, died Wednesday, June 29, 2011 at her residence.
The eldest of three children born to George A and Luella V. (Tompkins) Brown, she was born on March 9, 1921 in White, Brookings County, South Dakota. Her parents divorced when she was very young in the depression years and she was "bounced" around to be raised by relatives so her mother could work to support herself with three small children. During this time she came to the Rio Grande Valley to live with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Alton Bentsen.
In the 1940s she had the opportunity to travel on a grand scale when she worked as a "Nanny" for Paula Kelly (Mrs. Hal Dickenson), of the "Modernaires" fame, when they were the main band of Glenn Miller.
When she moved to Mitchell, she married Lester G. Porter. After they retired, Vernice and Les traveled in their motor home for 25 years and became Winter-Texans permanently in 2000 when they sold their home in Mitchell and built a new home in Mission.
Mrs. Porter is survived by a daughter, Connie (Dan) Davis of Castle Rock, Washington; stepsons, Don (Deni) Porter of Sun River, Oregon, Gregg (Jane) Porter of Tigart, Oregon, and Gary (Sue) of Pendleton, Indiana; and nine grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-granddaughter.
Her remains were cremated according to her wishes. A memorial service will be held at the Southern Oasis Clubhouse, S. Stewart Road, Mission, at a later date.

I was wondering if I should go with Round gummy bear silicone or round cohesive liquid ones. And also, should I go with Textured or smooth? What are the pros and cons for this?
Would Gummy Bear Silicone Gel Be Firmer and Harder Than Cohesive Silicone Gel?
Doctor Answers (4)
Silicone implants
The only silicone implants that are available are the cohesive gel implants. The true gummy bear implants are not available and yes if they were they would definitely be firmer. The cohesive gel implants are soft and very natural feeling with less chance of palpability and wrinkling.
Gummy bear vs. round breast implants: which is better?
All silicone gel-filled breast implants on the market today have a cohesive gel fill, meaning that it is a semisolid mass like gelatin so it doesn't flow out if the shell has an opening. Gummy bear implants (Mentor CPG, Allergan style 410) are shaped, in various versions of a teardrop profile and an oval base, and are heavily textured on the surface so the body may adhere to them and prevent rotation (this occurs sometimes anyway.) Round implants can be either smooth or textured, and the gel is softer than in the gummy bear implants. The gummy bear implants are not FDA-cleared and not available in the U.S. outside of a clinical trial. It is important to note that round implants naturally settle into a teardrop profile in the upright position, identical to shaped implants except that they also round out like natural breasts when lying down.
Gummy bear implants vs cohesive gels
All the gel implants in the US are considered cohesive gel implants. That means the gel is thicker and holds together better if an implant ruptures. The Gummy bears are not yet available in the US. How soft an implant feels depends on:
- How much breast, fat and muscle is between the implant and the feeler.
- Whether or not the patient develops a capsular contracture.
- How squishy the implant is.
If 1 and 2 are the same, a less squishy implant (gummy bear) will be more firm than a more squishy (cohesive gel) implant.

How to Become an IELI Student - Step 3
Step three: Come to New York
Finding Us
The IELI is conveniently located on the upper east side of Manhattan on 68th Street and Lexington Avenue. It is easily accessible by subway or bus service. Our main office is in the Hunter College East Building, 10th Floor. Click here for specific travel information. You can also call the IELI office and ask for directions at (212) 772-4290 or (212) 772-4208.
Distance From Airport to the IELI:
Most international flights to New York arrive either through John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) or Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey (EWR). If you are coming to New York from another state in the U.S., your arrival airport may also be LaGuardia (LGA). We recommend that you check the name of the airport listed on your plane ticket so that you know the approximate distance from the IELI.
John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) approximately 18 miles (35 minutes)
LaGuardia Airport (LGA) approximately 11 miles (20 minutes)
Newark Liberty Airport (EWR) approximately 17 miles (30 minutes)
Cost ($) of a Taxi Ride:
The cost of a taxi ride from the airport to your destination depends on the car service you use. Very often, taxi drivers from different car companies go directly to the airport baggage claim area to look for passengers. Be very careful and selective when you choose your taxi ride. For your information, official New York City taxis are yellow and have medallion shields on the hoods (top).
NYC yellow taxis also:
- have cost information listed on the car door.
- can only charge a maximum of $45 from JFK to any part of Manhattan, plus the bridge tolls.
- charge $15 to $30 from LGA to Manhattan.
- charge $60 to $75 from EWR to Manhattan, plus the bridge tolls and surcharge.
Note: A 15% to 20% tip for the driver is recommended.
Using a Taxi Service at the Airport:
- Go to the "yellow" taxi waiting area outside the terminal.
- Ask the taxi attendant how much your trip will cost.
- If possible, write down the name or license number of your taxi driver.
- Get a receipt from the driver and keep it for your records.
Click here for more information on NYC yellow taxi fares.
Using Airport Pick-Up Service:
The YMCA International Arrivals Program is an airport pick up service that you can also use to get to your destination. Using this program, a YMCA staff person will
- meet you at the airport and help you with Immigration procedures.
- help you buy or exchange currency (money).
- take you to the location of your apartment or student dormitory.
- direct you to the Hunter College, IELI campus.
- make reservations for you at a hotel or YMCA for the night, if necessary.
For other transportation options visit the website of your arrival airport:
Reporting to the IELI
All F-1 applicants who have been admitted to the IELI will receive an I-20 form with a school reporting date. This date is approximately 1 month before classes begin. During this period, you must come to the IELI to:
- activate your student record
- take the placement test
- register for classes
- attend an orientation for new students
If you do not report to the International Student Office within 30 days after your arrival in the U.S., your immigration student record at the IELI will be terminated. As a result, you will lose your student visa status. Follow the steps below if you have received an I-20 form from the IELI.
- Check the school reporting date listed on your I-20 in item #5.
- Try to complete the embassy visa requirements before your school reporting date.
- Contact the IELI immediately if you need a different school reporting date.
- Report to the International Student Office one or two days after you arrive in the U.S.
The IELI does not have student dormitories or a housing service. Students are, therefore, advised to make living arrangements before they come to the United States. If you need a temporary place to stay when you arrive in New York, we recommend you visit the websites below for housing information. This list is being provided to students for informational purposes only. The IELI is not responsible for inspecting or monitoring the conditions of these student residences.

Health insurance is not a requirement for admission to the IELI. However, if you intend to remain in the U.S. for more than six months, we strongly recommend that you apply for health insurance. If you already have a health insurance plan in your country, make sure that it will cover your medical expenses during your stay in the U.S. For your information, below are the names of two health insurance programs for international students.

Solatorobo's U.S. release to include OST
When Solatorobo: Red the Hunter ships in the U.S. on September 27, each copy will include a soundtrack CD, a replica of the 24-track OST (pictured) that was included with Japan's collector's edition. The album features "a full orchestral score that foreshadows the epic struggle for survival that awaits protagonist Red Savarin."
You'll pay a bit more for the game because of the pack-in, $34.99, but if the music is as good as import impressions indicate, that's not so bad. Props to Xseed, "the bravest publisher in America", for coming up with something extra for fans (even if this is just a ploy to encourage consumers to buy the game instead of pirating it).

Flying Santa- Edward Rowe Snow
Last year I saw a TV newscast about the work of Edward Rowe Snow and the Flying Santa program in New England. It was a service provided by Wiggins Airways, and every time I pass by the Manchester Airport and see the Wiggins sign, I think of the Flying Santas – even in the heat of summer!
Since colonial times the New England lighthouses were manned by families, and in 1929 William Wincapaw started a tradition of dropping presents from Santa from planes to children of lighthouse keepers. In the footage I saw on the television special, most of these lighthouses were on isolated islands or other inaccessible points of land. Over the years the program was expanded to more lighthouses and Coast Guard stations. Edward Rowe Snow participated in the program for more than forty years as a pilot.
Edward Rowe Snow is a familiar name to New England Yankees. He attended Harvard, and studied under historian Samuel Eliot Morrison, who was a maritime expert. Snow wrote over 100 books on the maritime history of New England, with subjects as wide as pirates to ship wrecks. There is a boat named for him plying the waters of Boston Harbor, and providing ferry service to George's Island and the state parks. He was a driving force behind saving Fort Warren, on George's Island as part of the state park system. He led ghost story tours of the Civil War fort, and used to tell the story of the "Lady in Black", which I think of every time we are in the dark tunnels there!
Snow served as a Flying Santa from 1936 to 1980, and some years he brought his little girl, Dolly, along for the rides to help drop the packages to the children waiting below. She loved to see the faces of the island children when her father buzzed the lighthouses. When a memorial to Snow was established in 2000, a granite marker was placed at the pavilion for tourists on George's Island, and the plaque reads "Author, historian, and 'Flying Santa' to lighthouse keepers, Edward Rowe Snow was the president of the Society for the Preservation of Fort Warren and led the fight to preserve the fort as a public park. The presence of Edward and his wife, Anna-Myrle, will always be felt on George's Island." Dolly Snow Bicknell, his daughter, was part of the memorial committee.
At the dedication of the memorial marker Seamond Ponsart Roberts read a letter about how when she was little, Snow dropped a gift from Santa on Cuttyhunk Island, where her father was lighthouse keeper. Inside the package, the doll broke during the fall from the plane. The next year Snow personally rented a helicopter and handed her a new doll. She wrote, "He is my Flying Santa, a man I'll love forever. I know this because I know he cared very much for people and gave of himself. I hope this will be a big part of what people remember him for when they see this monument to Edward Rowe Snow."
Eventually, lighthouses became automated and children were no longer living on the isolated islands off New England. Now helicopters provide the flights as a tradition to Coast Guard stations as a gift of thanks for the work performed by these brave men and women. Edward Rowe Snow's tradition is still alive, and being carried on by George Morgan and the Friends of the Flying Santa.
I learned about Edward Rowe Snow because I had a Civil War ancestor who served six months as a guard at Fort Warren on George's Island, when it was a prisoner of war camp. We enjoyed several Civil War reenactments and encampments on George's Island, and my daughter (she is now 22 years old!) used to love exploring the tunnels of Fort Warren and searching for the Lady in Black when she was little. Only later did I find out that one of my favorite historians was also the "Flying Santa!"
Also, when you visit the Boston Harbor islands, you are onboard a ferry named "The Edward Rowe Snow"!

I have several female relatives named "Apphia." Do you know the pronounciation of that? Is it "ah-fia" or "ap-fia" and is the accent on the first or second syllable? It's one of those curious names. Bill West and I are related to Nicholas & Constance (Hopkins) Snow through their daughter, Elizabeth.ReplyDeleteReplies
Pam, that is a good question about Apphia. I have lots of old fashioned names in my tree that I would love to know how to pronounce. Jabez is one (is it JAH-bez or JAY-bez or ja-BEZ?) And of course I'd love to hear how my ancestors prounounced these names in their Maine and North Shore accents!Delete
What a terrific way to be remembered, as "The Flying Santa." Especially if your last name is, happily, Snow. I wondered as I was reading whether any of the presents suffered damage, and then one did, and he replaced it! A super story.ReplyDelete

Uzbekistan hides jailed journalist from Red Cross
Imprisoned Karakalpak journalist Salijon Abdurahmanov
The administration of prison camp No 64/61 in Uzbekistan's Kashkadarya Region has been hiding jailed journalist Salijon Abdurahmanov from ICRC inspectors for several months.
The journalist's relatives said that ICRC inspectors had been trying to meet Abdurahmanov since last summer. During their first attempt to see the journalist, he had been driven away to an unknown place, where he was kept until the committee inspectors' left the prison camp.

Independent journalist Said Abdurahimov sued 27.06.14
For Tulkin and other esteemed journalist colleagues 23.04.14
This autumn, the journalist's son, Davron, said, ICRC inspectors came to the prison again, but this time the prison administration arranged a meeting with "a fake Abdurahmanov".
"Father said that he was driven away in an unknown direction and a different prisoner was brought to the meeting instead, as if he were Salijon Abdurahmanov," Davron said.
ICRC representatives immediately established that it was someone else before them, the journalist himself told his son at a meeting.
The "fake" journalist said he was Salijon Abdurahmanov, but ICRC members refused to believe him, saying that they had seen a photo of the journalist and have their own view of him.
The ICRC office in Tashkent has not commented on the Karshi prison authorities' behaviour yet.
Salijon Abdurahmanov, an Uznews.net correspondent in Karakalpakstan, was arrested in June 2008 on trumped-up charges of attempting to sell drugs.
A court in Nukus sentenced him to 10 years in prison, although the local police did not do anything to prove his guilt and not even concealed that the case was fabricated.
Salijon Abdurahmanov is 62. He may well have been pardoned because of his age when Uzbekistan has repeatedly announced amnesty and released people who are older than 60.
Father said that he was driven away in an unknown direction and a different prisoner was brought to the meeting instead, as if he were Salijon Abdurahmanov
But the Karshi prison authorities imputed violations to him that he had never done. This prevented him from enjoying the Uzbek government's "charitable act".
International Amnesty, a well-known rights watchdog, has recognised Salijon Abdurahmanov as a "prisoner of conscience".

14, 724 acres, approx. 40 miles of trails, mostly forested, numerous roads and trails throughout property, some steep terrain, special regulations for deer hunting,
Deeded to the Commonwealth in 1954, the Pennyrile State Forest is home to over 14,000 acres of property for outdoor recreation. There are approximately 40 miles worth of trails in the forest. These trails are open to hikers and equestrians. There is a mountain bike skills area that is currently being developed on the adjacent Pennyrile Forest State Resort Park, that will help to enhance the biking opportunities of the area. Hunting is also popular on the forest, and there are a variety of game species to pursue. Deer hunters should note that there are special Quality Deer Management regulations in place. One of ten Kentucky State Forests, the Pennyrile Forest features numerous opportunities for recreation.

#12 Prospect: Olivier Roy
Redline report: "Roy has great athleticism and flexibility and is a tough-minded competitor who never gives up on a play. While he's fairly advanced technique-wise, the problem for this typical butterfly netminder is his penchant for constantly going down to the ice too early and swimming around the crease. He gets by with that style in the junior ranks, but at only 5-11 and 163 pounds, he's too small to cover the corners, and we suspect that pro shooters will pick him apart up high and take advantage of his habit of overcommitting."
NHL Central Scouting's Chris Bordeleau: "He catches your attention. He's steady and he plays well all the time."
Cape Breton goaltending coach Scott Gouthro: "Olivier Roy has extremely quick reflexes and when he challenges is extremely hard to beat. He continues to work on his puckhandling which is a key tool for the next level. He is a warrior, his competitive nature and desire to win is exceptional."
The Oilers have run a few goalies through Stockton over the past several years, and I thought it might be an idea to compare their SP's in their first ECHL seasons.
- Olivier Roy 2011-12 .922
- Devan Dubnyk 2006-07: .921
- Andrew Perugini 2008-09: .908
- Glenn Fisher 2007-08: .903
- Bryan Pitton 2008-09: .886
I have no idea what this means, aside from the fact that Roy does appear to be a legit goaltending prospect. The Q grad is average in size, a butterfly style goaltender and trails Tyler Bunz by my estimate but that doesn't mean the organization feels that way.
Roy has been the ECHL goalie of the week and is 6th in SP in the entire league. Roy's junior career was impressive, and his pro career is starting off well. He might be off broadway, but he's also serving notice. Despite not fitting the modern goalie template, Olivier Roy is getting the job done and then some.

If I recall correctly, a few years ago, on the Strats Place forum, you started a thread suggesting that the bagel is the only truly unique food of Jewish origins. Well, based on an article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal (which is available online to paying subscribers only), I have to, unfortunately, call that suggestion into question.
The article is on Poland's application to the EU to have the Obwarzanek Krakowski declared a regional specialty. Like the bagel, the obwarzanek is a ring shaped bread, that is boiled and baked. Among the documentation presented to the EU was a royal decree dating to 1496, giving baking rights for the obwarzanek to bakers in the city of Cracow.
Whereas, according to my understanding, the bagel was invented in Vienna by Jewish bakers in honor of King John Sobieski, and his relief of sieged Vienna, in 1683. Given the fact that Sobieski was descended from Crocow nobility (his father was Castellan of that city) it seems to me entirely plausible that the bagel may have been invented in direct imitation of the obwarzanek.
What thinks you?
All the best,

Residents of black neighborhoods are exposed to an average of 2.6 more tobacco ads than people living in white neighborhoods, according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Aug. 21 that the Pitt researchers counted the total number of ads in each market, parsed out the tobacco ads, then correlated them with the population of the neighborhoods. Researchers looked at advertising in communities in California, Illinois, Missouri, South Carolina, Massachusetts, and other states.
The study also found that the proportion of tobacco ads to ads for other products was 70 percent higher in black neighborhoods than white communities.
Limiting the study was the fact that it was based on studies of advertising techniques, like billboard ads, that have now been banned.
The research by Brian Primack and colleagues is published in the September/October 2007 issue of Public Health Reports.

'Call My Name' = A Speedy Sod
Word from the midweek chart folk has confirmed that Cheryl's 'Call My Name' is set to become the fastest selling single in the UK of 2012, as 97,000 copies have flown off the shelves since Sunday! Unbelievable!
Considering the criticism Cheryl's received surrounding her performance at the Jubilee concert, it looks like Cheryl fever has taken over once again (as obviously nobody cares!). It's a catchy tune granted, but who would've thought it would've beaten off the likes of Fun./Gotye's mega hits? Congrats, Chez!

In bad soccer, players are unable to control the ball properly, and the match degenerates into a tiresome succession of bruising tackling battles to possess a 50-50 ball — anyone's ball. The current debate over where to locate a Major League Soccer stadium in Miami threatens to turn into something similar.
That shouldn't happen, so let's clear the air.
First, Miami and soccer are a perfect match. As retired soccer great David Beckham told the Miami Herald Editorial Board in a meeting last week, MLS has had to make the case in other cities that it could indeed be a success. In Miami, he said, the question is not "why" MLS would choose Miami, but "where" the arena would be.
That goes to the heart of the issue. Three sites are in play, and one of them, near the ballpark in Little Havana, has been all but ruled out by Mr. Beckham's team. "Spiritually tainted," said Simon Fuller, Mr. Beckham's business partner. An apt phrase, given the continuing heartburn over the Marlins' costly deal — costly, at least, for the Miami and Miami-Dade County.
Further, he said, the ballpark's footprint would make the smaller soccer stadium look insignificant, transportation is a problem and opportunities for development that would make the location more enticing for fans are scant.
Whether such claims stand up to scrutiny should be part of the ongoing debate. But if the site is indeed unsuitable, it leaves only two others, and both are on public waterfront land: One is a PortMiami site, which the Beckham team prefers. The other is a filled, deep-water boat slip next to AmericanAirlines Arena proposed by County Mayor Carlos Gimenez.
Great views, two glittering skylines facing each other across the Intracoastal Waterway and the accessibility and increasing vibrancy of downtown. Both are coveted sites, and that makes it all the more important for Mr. Gimenez and city of Miami leaders like Mayor Tomás Regalado to safeguard the public interest.
The league will not grant a franchise if the stadium is not located downtown, Mr. Beckham's team said. But, critics shoot back, why does it have to be on the water? Isn't the port area inappropriate, given that most locals go there, if they go at all, only to board cruises or do business involving cargo? And it's a schlep to get there from Biscayne Boulevard.
As for the the second area, critics such as former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz and three former commissioners say the public need for green space overrides all other commercial considerations. Leave it be, they say.
To that we would add potential environmental problems or obstacles that would arise in filling in the boat slip. These may be minimal, or not, but the concerns must be fully explored before any deal is made.
Mr. Beckham and his backers, including Miami-based billionaire Marcelo Claure, have made a significant and welcome promise to this community: "The stadium won't cost local taxpayers a dime. The stadium will be privately funded." That was from a full-page ad signed by Mr. Claure. And, backers say they will pay fair market price for any public land they use.
Mayor Gimenez and other local officials should ensure that all such commitments are legally binding and that the interests of taxpayers and residents are fully protected. The prospect of an MLS team and David Beckham's involvement hold great promise, but let's make sure this one turns into a win for both soccer and for our community.

Finals might be over for the year, but high schoolers are always on the verge of tests.
It's important for a student to find what tricks aid studying. For some, that means incorporating music into a routine.
But it might be best, according to research, to use music in non-traditional ways, rather than simply listening to it while trying to consume information.
While the research is murky, teens say music makes it easier to buckle down while studying.
"Music does not only say what the heart wants to say that the words cannot, it helps me focus in on what is at hand," said Rochester High senior Emily Murphy.
Emily said music helps her zero in on what she's working on, making it easier to finish homework or study.
One area teen doesn't think music necessarily helps her focus, but she has a hard time working when it's silent.
Music can be a distraction at times, Sangamon Valley High School junior Ellen Sadler said. But, she said it's better than studying when it's quiet — which she finds difficult.
Experts say it can be beneficial to use music in certain ways. Songs can help you form associations for certain topics so you can recall the information when taking a test, according to an article by Chris Boyd Brewer on the Johns Hopkins School of Education website.
Use music to set the mood for what you're studying. If a song seems appropriate for a topic, play it while reading that material.
"Music will activate students mentally, physically, and emotionally and create learning states which enhance understanding of learning material. For example, play music with an association for your topic in the background while reading a concise summary of the important information," Boyd Brewer wrote.
He also recommends using music to boost energy.
But, there is a major potential caveat to studying with music.
"Previous research has found numerous benefits to listening to music before performing a task — it improves attention, memory, and even mental math ability," Sheela Doraiswamy wrote in a Mind the Science Gap 2012 article.
But, she continued by saying studies with vocal music have found that can be just as distracting as hearing someone talk. Thus, students looking to listen to music, should, according to Doraiswamy, opt for instrumental music. Think Mozart.
Another report focuses on music training, not necessarily listening to music while studying.
Learning music "leads to changes throughout the auditory system that prime musicians for listening challenges beyond music processing," according to William Klemm in a Psychology Today article. Klemm is a professor of neuroscience at Texas A&M University.
"Music training imposes a high working-memory load. That can be a good thing, in that it helps you expand your working memory capacity, and thus reduces the impairing effects on memory of working memory overload."

In November of 2009, I decided to try out this whole vegan thing. It started out as an environmental thing after reading the UN's "Livestock's Long Shadow" report, but quickly I came to appreciate the health, ethical, and philosophical aspects also.
I am currently in the Global Studies program at the New School in NYC. This means I study things like urban homelessness, human trafficking, the impact of climate change on third world countries, and the politics behind it all.
I am intolerant of intolerance.
Have a questions? Ask me.

Doesn't feel like a remake, good or bad... it feels like it already needs to be remade.

This review is useless.
This movie is spectacular, splendid, and awesome.
This is the best spider-man movie yet.

I liked this movie but I don't see why you need to say the same story. You need to give it a rest. You're opinion is all that matters and I agree with you're opinion that the movie was good. This movie was good. Not perfect but good. :)

I like it a lot.
All rotten reviews are not more than a collection of garbage.

This movie is superb.
It is the highest grossing reboot ever.
It grosses 700 million worldwide.
This movie is 100x better than the TDKR.
Spider-man is 100X better than lazy and old batman.
Lizard is bigger and stronger villain than dwarf bane.

Batman is not a superhero.
He is just a rich person.
He just has some f***ing gadgets.
He is a Lame and lazy guy.
He just know some martial arts.
He does not have any natural superpowers.
Can he beat spider-man without his gadgets ?
Does he have Superhuman strength, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, and endurance like spider-man ?
And the answer is NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

Expungement is the process of legally destroying, obliterating or striking out records or information in files, computers and other depositories relating to criminal charges.
The effect of an expungement is that the record is erased and legally deemed not to have occurred
An individual has the legal right to answer "no" to any questions (including those on a job application that inquire about a history of arrests or criminal convictions .
The record may be destroyed or sealed after a certain period of time. Records may be expunged in juvenile cases, or upon satisfactory completion of a court-ordered probation and/or class (es).
Are you eligible for an Virginia Expungement? Most crimes can be expunged.
Under Virginia law, the following are the crimes that cannot be expunged.
- Any conviction that involves a minor,
- Any conviction that involves sexual assault
If you have been convicted of a crime that currently cannot be expunged, your best recourse is to contact your state senator or state representative and appeal to them to propose a change in the law
"Removing The Past for a Better Tomorrow"
Basics on Criminal Expungement
Expungement is the process of going to court to ask a judge to seal a court record. It is important to remember that an expunged record is NOT destroyed. The police, FBI, immigration officers, and other public officials may still see sealed court files for certain purposes. Usually, people ask for an expungement when they have been denied a job, housing, or a professional license because of their criminal background.
What is an expungement?
An expungement is a legal process where the petitioner or attorney asks the court to seal court records and arrest information. People seek expungements in order to obtain employment or housing.
I've never heard of an expungement before. Is this legal?
It is not uncommon for people to be unaware of expungements. Any charge that was dismissed or for which you were found not guilty may be expunged as well. Each state has different statutes concerning expungements, and you must apply for an expungement in the state in which you were convicted.
Who may file for an expungement?
There are two types of person who can file for an expungement:
(1) A person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor or violation, or a series of misdemeanors or violations arising from a single incident,
(2) A person who has been charged with a criminal offense and who has been found not guilty of the offense, or against whom charges have been dismissed with prejudice, and not in exchange for a guilty plea for another offense.
Why file for an expungement?
Once an expungement is granted, all records relating to the arrest, charge or other matters linked to the case are sealed. People frequently seek an expungement for employment purposes or to erase their past. What is an expungement?
Virginia Expungements – What can be expunged in Virginia
- If 2 years have elapsed since the final discharge of the person from custody; and
- If the person has not been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, the person has not been adjudicated a juvenile delinquent, and no proceeding seeking conviction or adjudication is pending.
- If the sentence is fully completed including probation and payment of all fines.
- If it is found not guilty or the case was dismissed, or not prosecuted (nolle prosequi)
Additional restrictions on who can qualify for an Expungement in Virginia:
Persons who can prove inaccurate or incomplete information contained in their criminal convictions. Also, persons subject to investigation of child abuse not resulting in a conviction. A person whose criminal conviction is reversed may have their DNA records expunged. Juvenile sex offenders may not have records expunged.

Kenny Chesney 's line of Costa sunglasses are inspired by his life on the water, so it's only fitting that he donate the proceeds from those sunglasses to help the Coastal Conservation Association. The money Kenny contributed to the organization will help place two man-made reefs into the St. John's River in Jacksonville, FL, to create a habitat for fish about 20 miles inland from the Atlantic.
While Kenny has a well-documented passion for the ocean, he stresses that taking care of the ocean is important to everyone living on the planet. He says, "The ecological balance is very delicate, especially in Florida, so I am honored to help them achieve this goal."
On the music front, Kenny has filmed a new video in Jamaica with the Wailers for their song, "Spread the Love." Look for it to come out soon.

HAMPTON ROADS -- 13News Now is tracking how the enrollment process in the Healthcare Marketplace under the Affordable Care Act is working for Virginians.
We are two weeks into open enrollment and many say they still can't get onto healthcare.gov.
Angelette Harrell is one of 12 people who bought plans with Optima Health. She says she called the phone number after the website didn't work.
"I found Optima health. It was $85 a month," Harrell said.
Harrell works at a care facility for adults with autism and says she couldn't afford an Optima plan that would have been $280 a month without the tax credit, but because she falls at 200% of the poverty line she was eligible for help.
"It felt great. I finally got insured," Harrell said.
It was a different story for Norma Dorey, who owns Changes Hair Salon and City Spa as well as Jake's Place. She wanted to shop the options for her 80 employees.
"We couldn't get passed the password," Dorey said.
Dorey instead chose to get face to face help sponsored by TFA Benefits, a benefits brokerage company for businesses.
"I feel like I have options that I didn't know I had before this meeting," Dorey said.
Dorey says she learned she could offer a group plan for her employees who can afford the group rate and for the employees who can't afford that plan, she can send them to marketplace plans.
The marketplace will offer tax credits that she can not.
"It's good cause i could save them money possibly and save the company money," Dorey said.
For those who are still having trouble getting through, TFA Benefits president Richard Herzberg, says, "If you're looking to apply for coverage right now, I would suggest you'd wait til November 1."
Harrell is happy she didn't.
Optima Health is in the process of verifying individual applications. The government verifies through a contract with Equifax that Harrell is telling the truth about her income level, since her tax credit is based on that number. Her first payment is due January 1. If she misses the payment, Optima says she loses her coverage instantly. Optima spokesman Bobby Pearson says the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services first verifies their eligibility and the insurers verify that information. The IRS will then send a lump sum amount to Optima with itemized information for each member.
While the government isn't reporting how many people have enrolled at this point, 13News Now is checking with each insurance company that's selling plans on the exchange.
Optima Health: There are twelve plans who's buyers are in the verification process, according to spokesperson Bobby Pearson.
Aetna/Coventry: We have not disclosed any exchange membership numbers, according to spokesperson Walter Cherniak, Jr.
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield: We've has just begun to receive confirmation of enrollment in the federal exchanges from CMS. Although it is too soon to provide Virginia enrollment details at this time, we have seen unprecedented call volumes and heavy web traffic for our exchange plans which is consistent with the experience reported by some state exchanges, according to spokesperson Scott Golden.
We're still waiting to hear from the other companies on the marketplace. A total of nine were authorized to operate on the marketplace back in July.

PULLMAN -- Record-breaking former Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell is headed to Pullman, where he will reunite with former coach Mike Leach.
A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to KREM 2 that Harrell will join Washington State, but in a non-coaching capacity. Harrell will serve in offensive quality control, where he will be able to lend his knowledge to Leach and the coaches.
Harrell had a short stint in the NFL, including a backup role to Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. He recently interviewed for high school offensive coordinator jobs in his home state of Texas.
The Heisman trophy finalist guided the Red Raiders to an 11-2 season in 2008. He finished his Texas Tech career top-5 in NCAA history for completions, attempts, yards and touchdown.
Washington State University has not made any announcement of the hire.

To start, the check in and boarding of the ship were without event. Very easy and straight forward. Considering we had 3400 adults and 1200 kids on this cruise, it did not seem overly crowded when we boarded. We ate lunch in the Garden Cafe on Deck 15, pretty much where you eat all your meals unless you are going to a specialty restaurant and hung out in the Spice H2O area. This is supposedly the adults only area, only problem was it was crawling with youngsters. By about 1:45pm the announcement came to go to your state room. Upon arrival, we discovered our room had not been cleaned. There was toothpaste stuck in the drinking glasses, hair in the beds, stains on the pillows, or to put it mildly, a disgusting mess. We called housekeeping and they were there in a hour to clean up the room, needless to say this was not a good sign of things to come.
The Specialty restaurants charge you a "cover charge" to get in. You are not apparently paying for the food, but the "atmosphere". So we decided to eat at the premier restaurant on board the EPIC, Cagney's. This turned out to be a huge mistake. The wait staff was rude and argumentative, constantly trying to up sell me to a bottle of wine when all I wanted was a glass. Asking if I had overheard their conversation with other tables, like I would be listening in to what other people are talking about. The food was cold, not cooked properly and overall disappointing. Desert was a great disappointment also being poorly prepared.
We went back to our room to find it properly cleaned after our messy beginning. The days at sea were not filled with fun but with noisy kids running around the adults only areas and waiters who were inattentive because we were drinking soda rather than alcohol. FYI to Drink soda is a extra charge and bottled water is extremely expensive and not included with the soda. Even coffee comes at a extra price unless you just want a std cup of Joe.
We did really enjoy the shows, Blue Man group was good and the Cirque dinner show is well worth the money. Also the Murder Mystery lunch was worth the cost. Then again, why are they charging for food that you already paid for? So not all entertainment is free. Where is the All Inclusive? Service in General everywhere on the ship was poor. Unless you were throwing money around you will not get good service. Which is what you expect at a regular resort, but not all inclusive resorts.
Overall the disappointing service, the extra costs everywhere and the fact that you are trapped on a ship with very little to do made this not such a good trip to remember.
Value for the Dollar is just not there. You get far more on land than you will ever get at see, at least from what we experienced. I heard other ships are different so maybe we'll risk it with another cruise company, but I know we will not be on the Epic again.

Legg Mason's Top-Performing Small Caps
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Small-cap and mid-cap stocks do not get as much coverage from bankers and third-party analysts, often leaving them less efficiently priced versus larger stocks. Hedge funds sometimes take advantage of this by dedicating their research teams to work on these lower-valuation stocks, and they often earn substantial alpha from their investments. Based upon our analysis of many hedge funds' small-cap holdings, we've determined that the most popular small-cap stocks among hedge funds can earn about 120 basis points of alpha per month. We started publishing a quarterly newsletter at the end of August and shared the stock picks of this strategy. Since then, this method has returned 23.9% vs. 7.4% for the S&P 500 (learn more about our hedge fund small cap strategy here). Along that same vein, here are five stocks Bill Miller of Legg Mason Capital Management owns as of his recent 13F filing that had market caps between $1 billion and $5 billion and provided huge returns for 2012.
Bill Miller's best-performing stock in our small cap range was Exterran Holdings (NYSE: EXH). They offer solutions for producing, processing, and transporting oil and gas, primarily in the field of natural gas compression. The stock more than doubled from a year prior, rewarding investors with a 119% gain. As with many of the smaller oil & gas plays, speculation is rampant and can cause such rises without traditional fundamental support. Analysts are a bit burnt out with EXH's rise and advise a hold from here on out. Billionaire Ken Griffin of Citadel Investment Group has a debt investment in EXH to the tune of $28 million; see his other bond holding here.
Real estate investment company Newcastle Investment (NYSE: NCT) saw an 85% increase in share price, partly due to the increase in real estate valuations as the residential and commercial markets continue to recover. UBS hopped on the Buy bandwagon in December of 2012, joining Credit Suisse and Barclays as bulls regarding NCT. Not to be ignored, Newcastle's excellent dividend yield of 8.3% provides investors another reason to jump in. Malcolm Fairbairn of Ascend Capital has done just that, with almost 3 million shares.
Payment transaction experts FleetCor Technologies (NYSE: FLT) was another big winner for Legg Mason, beating the S&P 500 by more than fifty percentage points, helping the stock reach new 52-week highs at its current levels. Hound Partners initiated an almost $100 million position as indicated by their last 13F filing. Sell-side analysts see the rise as "too much, too quick," and are expecting the price to drop by a few percentage points to be more in line with valuations. FLT reports earnings on Feb. 7, so potential investors should be wary as the announcement is right around the corner.
Continue reading to see Miller's other hot small cap plays.
CoStar Group (NASDAQ: CSGP) was another real estate-related play, although they are not an investment firm. They provide analytic services to the commercial real estate industry both in the States and across the pond in the UK. The stock surprised analysts every quarter, with the earnings beats pushing the stock to a 65% gain on the year. While price to earnings valuations remain chaotic, CSGP's positive earnings and revenue growth year-over-year provided a lot of reason to the boost. Billionaire Jim Simons of Renaissance saw CSGP fit to be added to his portfolio.
Redwood Trust (NYSE: RWT) rounds out our list of Legg Mason's top small-cap performers, and it is a very little surprise that it is another real estate investment trust. The empirical growth of small-caps combined with the stronger real estate market has easily given this list a slant, and for good reason. While not a 100% increase in stock value like EXH, Redwood's returns were in excess of 50%, considerably beating the S&P's paltry 12.6% gain. We join analysts on the Street as being bullish on RWT, noting their conservative P/E and favorable dividend payout structure. Wallace Weitz has made this one of his top five picks.

Things sure have changed around here. We've gotten to the point in this city, with its proud working tradition, where being close to unions is seen as a liability.
Mayoral candidate Marty Walsh is having the stuffing kicked out of him for being too cozy with labor. A slew of unions have endorsed the former union official, sending along fat campaign contributions. He's constantly asked about his union ties by reporters and debate moderators. The prospect of a Mayor Walsh inspires something close to dread in the business community.

Established in 1965, the College of Dentistry saw its first class of dental students graduate in 1972.
Today, more than 700 University of Saskatchewan dental graduates have put excellence in patient care into practice worldwide. To ensure future generations of our graduates are prepared for entry into dental practice, it is critical that the College of Dentistry's funding priorities are realized. These include:
Enhancing the Student Learning Experience
Our facilities must be upgraded to ensure high quality patient care and up-to-date teaching and learning opportunities. Our current classrooms, pre-clinical and clinical spaces are more than 30 years old. The learning spaces are outdated from the perspective of size, technology, infection control and patient safety.
Pre-clinical and classroom spaces can only house 28 students at a time. The College has limited ability to increase the program's class size or add additional professional programs as a result. Opportunity exists to consolidate and expand the college as a dental teaching hospital.
Advancing Research & Innovation
Saskatchewan's size, geographic and population landscape make it an ideal living laboratory for researchers. Whether it is the collection of oral health status data, the exploration of inter-professional oral health care models, or the development of innovative oral health care policy, research improves access to care for us all.
An opportunity exists to secure an Endowed Chair to help the College rejuvenate its research and scholarly activities. The research findings would improve existing services and make implementation of new services possible for the benefit of all.
Community Outreach & Access to Care
Saskatoon West Dental, an outreach clinic located in the inner city, recently opened its doors to patients. A joint venture between the College of Dentistry and private enterprise, the outreach clinic provides comprehensive dental services at a reduced rate to patients without insurance. It also serves as a clinical teaching facility for senior students.
Ongoing support is required to ensure patients receive quality care in a timely manner. The clinic has been made possible through loans, but on-going costs amount to approximately $500,000 per year.
Your gift will help ensure that our graduates are well prepared for entry into practice.
