Ralph Reed, who 20 years ago made his bones in national politics by building the Christian Coalition into force to be reckoned with, has let it be known that he's back at it.
Dan Gilgoff, who writes the God & Country blog for U.S. News & World Report, says Reed has formed a new group called the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
Reed intends his organization to be broader than the Christian Coalition, which was founded after the failed presidential bid of televangelist Pat Robertson in 1988.
Writes Gilgoff:
"This is not your daddy's Christian Coalition," Reed said in an interview Monday. "It's got to be more brown, more black, more female, and younger. It's critical that we open the door wide and let them know if they share our values and believe in the principles of faith and marriage and family, they're welcome."
"There's a whole rising generation of young leaders in the faith community, and rather than nab the publicity I did at Christian Coalition, I want to cultivate and train that rising generation," Reed said. "One question is, who is our future Barack Obama, doing local organizing just like he was in the 1990s?"
Reed has remained active in Republican politics since his 2006 defeat in the GOP primary for lieutenant governor by Casey Cagle, but he's kept a purposely low profile.
You have to wonder if the decision this spring by Cagle, to forego the governor's race for back surgery, may have had a liberating effect on Reed.
While Democrats are likely to sneer at Reed's talk of diversification — the Christian Coalition came to be regarded as a voice of white Protestant evangelicals — the message isn't new. Even as head of the Coalition, Reed spoke of the demographic isolation that lay ahead for Republicans, and its dangers.
The Christian Coalition itself is only a shell of its once formidable influence. Georgia's state chapter, run by Sadie Fields, split off to become the Georgia Christian Alliance. The Christian Coalition of Georgia was reformed, under the leadership of Jim Beck.
Here's Reed's message for new members, from his web site:
We are a grassroots coalition of people of faith, small businessmen and women, and like-minded citizens dedicated to promoting sound public policy at every level of government. We are advocating time-honored values, protecting the dignity of life and marriage, reducing taxes, and insuring fiscal responsibility in Washington.
If you don't speak up now, someone else will….
The former state GOP chairman and Bush strategist will act as chairman of the new group, which he hopes to spread via bricks-and-mortar chapters, and through social networking. It's to be run out of Reed's Century Strategies headquarters in Duluth.

Right on Ralph! "It's critical that we open the door wide and let them know if they share our values and believe in the principles of faith and marriage and family, they're welcome."
Its about time one of the religious nuts took on divorce! Jesus hates divorce its in the Bible. Sure Reed will be mocked by other Christians for upholding the word of Jesus, after all 55% of Christian marriages end in divorce. Think of the children.
Divorce is a CHOICE! God created Adam and Eve….NOT….Adam and Eve, then Cindy!
Divorce will one day lead to human + animal marriage.
Bless you Ralph!

Glad to hear that Ralph Reed is finally speaking out on the importance of separating church and state.
After all, that's the only way his group could honestly be called "Faith AND Freedom," right? Instead of "Faith Against Freedom"….

Last time I checked, Jesus was not a registerd republican or democrat and does not care about the size of government. Reed is no different from Creflo Dollar and Joel Olsteen. You are right AMB, there is a sucker born every minute.

Cool. If we're bringing back relics from the eighties/nineties, why not acid washed jeans and Debbie Gibson songs, too!
Last I checked, Ralph Reed and his brand of politics was trounced both in Georgia when he made his laughable attempt to get elected and the nation at large when they voted for Obama.

BTW, Hysterical that RR is saying "This is not your daddy's …"
If you're going to rip off someone's slogan, maybe ripping off Oldmobile's slogan ain't the way to go. It didn't work for the GM division, did it?
What's next? "Up, Up and Away" or calling his group "The New Coke" of religious/political groups? (For those not old enough, the first was a TWA slogan.)
One more thing – I would hope that as the economy is crashing down around us, we're involved in two wars on the other side of the earth, healthcare costs are climbing past unaffordable, people have more important things to try to get done politically than the things RR advocates. C'mon. Who cares if someone goes behind closed doors and does something that will have no impact on the person's life?
The RR crowd has always baffled me. They are afraid that legalizing gay marriage will make people choose to be gay, which means that in their minds, the only thing keeping them from going gay is the fact it's illegal. Most real straight people I know would choose heterosexuality whether homosexuality were legal or not. Do the people who adamantly demand gay marriage remain illegal realize that anyone who thinks about it knows their secret? The only way you can think that "if but for the law" people would go gay would be for the only thing keeping you from going gay is the law. In other words, we know whose pants those people's true feelings lie.

Good God…Ralph Reed again?! This man defines evil; a hypocrit who thinks everyone has forgotten his bigotry and religious racism of the past. If I ran the city of Duluth, I would revoke his business license on the grounds of it being lewd and lacivious. I'm sure his local KKK chapter is proud of their chapter leader!!!!

"Last I checked, Ralph Reed and his brand of politics was trounced both in Georgia when he made his laughable attempt to get elected and the nation at large when they voted for Obama."
Hmm, Just how big did the anti gay marriage ammendment win here in Georgia? How may states now have that type of ammendment and how big did they win by? Even blue states like California and Oregon passed them…
I oppose gay marriage because it is detrimental to society and morals. Homosexuality is wrong and against God and nature. It is a choice you make. Gays are trying to change society so they will feel normal and we have a right to try to stop that.
June 23rd, 2009

Gays are bigoted against normal marriage and a normal lifestyle…

Hey CJK,
You just contradicted yourself: Gay marriage ISN'T behind closed doors, it's in our faces!! If you would KEEP your relationship behind closed doors, we would not even be having this discussion now, would we?

the activist gays want to influence/corrupt your children, force their views on your pastor and church, and persecute anyone who deosn't agree with them. I would say that's pretty bigoted.

Dannyx absolutely correct. The biggest threat to marriage is divorce. Why do half of heterosexuals choose to divorce? Children suffer at the hands of straight people getting divorced. If you religious zealots would believe in Darwin and that homosexuality is NOT a choice, you would understand that letting us gay folks marry would eventually filter us out of the population.
June 23rd, 2009
6:52 pm
Reaganite, please explain specifically how gay marriage is detrimental to society? How does it physically impact your sham of a marriage?
June 23rd, 2009
7:19 pm
Homosexuality is a choice. There are genes that determine sex, eye color, hair color, race. Tell me, where is the gene that determines sexual orientation? I would love to see that study…
Marriage is between a man and woman as the Bible dictates and has been that way for centuries. It should not change. The Bible condemns sodomy..
Copyleft, I would advise you check the poll numbers. Your messiah is falling fast and he promised to do so much for the LGBT community. Too bad, he has not really done a thing. The reason is because his poll numbers would fall even lower if he supported gay marriage…
June 23rd, 2009
7:40 pm
Reed will do anything for a buck and a vote.
June 23rd, 2009
7:58 pm
Reaganite – Your argument is silly. You cannot argue that homosexual marriage should be outlawed because it's against God in a country that has separation of church and state as an underlying principle and expect to be taken seriously!
Those who oppose same-sex marriage will be looked at in the future like we look at those who opposed segregation based on race. Sam Nunn will be remembered as a bigot, much like George Wallace. Younger people just don't see any problem with same-sex marriage. Those states that have allowed it have had none of the ills that the bigots claim will happen. Oppose gay marriage all you want. Your grandchildren will be embarrassed. They will constantly have to apologize for what an idiot grandpa was, much like we all wince when someone of a past generation says something racist.
Same sex marriage isn't detrimental to society. People who want to impose their religious beliefs on everyone is detrimental, though. Why people like Reaganite want pretty much the same thing that the ruling party in Iran wants – religious theocracy – is beyond me. But if the young people of Iran could come here and live free, and the religious nuts here could go there and live under religious control like they want, everyone would seemingly be happier.

The big differnce is that you can not help what race you are born. Homosexuality is a choice, you are not born that way.
What on earth make you think I am man?
APA revises 'gay gene' theory (not likely that homosexuals are born that way)
June 23rd, 2009
8:44 pm
"Same sex marriage isn't detrimental to society. People who want to impose their religious beliefs on everyone is detrimental, though."
You mean like gays are trying to impose their beliefs on everyone and society?
Marriage has been defined as being between and man and woman for centuries. It is the gay activist trying to change things and impose their will by virtue of the court system..
June 23rd, 2009
8:47 pm
If homosexuality is a choice then it can reasonably be argued that it's a sin. If homosexuals are born that way then it's a birth defect. It's that simple.
June 23rd, 2009

Of Reed, Georgians need only recall his profound, Satanic hypocrisy enriching himself amidst Abramoff's felonious criminality. We should all be ashamed that he was born here for he is a traitor to every good and righteous Georgian.
Hoping to garner the votes Wm T. Sherman might once have received, his "Christian Coalition's" published strategy was to "mainstream" Roman Catholics in a new alliance with those who historically took issue, whether as "Yellow Dog Democrats," or the Union/Confederacy "split:" Southern Protestants and Baptists.
In complete opposition to Our Creed's "E Pluribus Unum" – having the willingness to "see" G-d in the faces of fellow Americans of other national origins, building on Nixon's "southern strategy," Reed's organization furthered his sectarian faction by not much more subtlety than one of their "princes," George Allen, employed by making the "N-word" fifteen percent of his working vocabulary to rope in a nucleus of like-minded racists.
In doing so Reed became an insidious, Georgia-born agent of the Roman Anti-Christ, bearing ultimately its "fruit:" a draft-dodging closet-queen cheated into the White House by only the Roman Catholics' votes on the Supreme Court after laughably (and treasonous to Our Creed) claiming that "Jesus was [his] favorite political philosopher."
Reed is no Georgian and no Christian.. His anti-American pursuits have made him rich at Babylon's table but the food he offers is poison.
Once a cherished ally of Rome's pedophile priesthood, Reed now wants to make political fodder of the victims of that same priesthood of Babylon: those molested Americans who merely wish to find peace and happiness with others with similar stories to tell and traumas to overcome.
With Larry Craig, Mark Foley, Ted Haggard and George Bush to recommend him, Reed's absence as a father in pursuit of Mammon with Pat Robertson was often noted in his own interviews.
He is no man. One wonders how his children turned out with such a towering hypocrite as a "father." I don't want him anywhere near my children for he is a transparent perverter of all that is good, and of G-d.

What do reducing taxes have to do with the values he espouses? Collecting taxes and spending them on the common good is what makes us a civilized nation. And those values? where would families be without clean water, clean air, emergency services, public education, services for the infirm, investment in health and research? Families/children more than anyone benefit. I can't imagine Jesus would support any of the slashing that's going on or the reduction in taxes of the wealthy that's been happening, if anything it would be more aligned for Jesus to advocate for fairness, which esp in GA we do not have. And to call Raphie is silly is to completely underestimate the damage he has caused this country.

you have to belive in the women's, blacks , browns issues. and the today's GOP is to right wing no color and way to southern right wing nuts. I do wish there were two party women and people of color could do business with.
But not today ,they are way to far right which is wrong for the mass of women Blacks and browns and Asian. just do the math going foward it don't add up for the GOP. But they know what they need to do but they must change but will die before change they need a heart transplant change or die!!!! but you already know this!!

Now, Mr. Reed, I believe in faith and marriage and family; in fact, I have faith, a marriage, and a family. I also believe as your web site says in the "dignity of life and marriage."
So, why do I think that you weren't thinking of people like me when you created this new version of your previous organization? Our faith teaches that God created all of us and that sexual and gender diversity is part of God's blessing. We believe that marriage should be available to all committed loving adult couples. We believe in women's moral agency. We believe that all families have value and deserve respect and support.
We think those ARE "time honored values." And we're not going to let you claim that you speak for all people of faith or that you get to narrowly define faith, marriage, or family.

Ralph Reed will make a major comeback. We are all human and have our fralities. Why are people so cruel and unforgiving. I have joined the "Faith and Freedom Coalition" because I believe in Ralph Reed and the potential he illustrates to the making of a better America. His past associations pales in comparision to Obama's Chicago base of far to the left liberals/socialists/terrorists. We shall return..watch! Join and get on the right side of the issues..

Persia Restaurant is located in The Ampang Walk along Jalan Ampang and serves a mix of Iranian and local foods. Together with lunch time specials that offer a variety of local foods, we decided to try out their range of kebabs and dips.
Iranian Tea for Two (RM8) accompanies the meal very well and is typically served before or after the meal. The tea comes in mini tea cups as well as a nicely decorated tea pot. The tea itself is not too strong and as such it is lightly caffeinated.
The Kashke Badinjan is a dip of eggplant, kashke (which is some sort of thick whey), onions and other ingredients. As you can also see, there is a spash of oil. A different type of dip as compared to others such as Hummus; this dip made for a very good impression to start the meal.
The Barberry Rice with Chicken is the Persian Chicken rice. This is a specially prepared Persian style rice. The chicken itself comes with a gravy that has tomato based flavours and has a slightly sweet taste to it. You also have an option to sprinkle lime juice over the chicken to give it the extra tangyness.
The special kebab dish has portions of lamb, beef and chicken. As compared to the other items on the menu, this dish has chunks of meat as compared to minced meat. The lamb and beef were marinated in a light sauce and grilled to perfection. The beef portions that we had were very tender and as you can see from below, the exterior of the meat was lightly charred. It also came with a plate of rice. This dish also goes well with more of the bread.
I had to take a picture of this cup of coffee. It has a very interesting design to it (the coffee wasn't too bad either) and you have to grip the handle with your first finger and thumb.

Fact: Twelve percent of you are iron-deficient.
Why You Need 18mg a Day: It helps deliver oxygen throughout your body.
Why You're Missing Out: You started eating more "meatless meals." "Only heme iron -- found in animal foods like beef, lamb, or poultry -- is directly absorbed into the body," says Stella Lucia Volpe, PhD, RD, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. "Vegetable iron isn't absorbed as efficiently."
How to Get It: Try to include a few servings of lean animal protein per day. The redder a meat, the more heme iron it probably contains; beef is a better source than chicken or pork. Also, 10 steamed clams supply an incredible 26.6mg of iron for only 141 calories.

Is there someplace on the Sacramento Secretary of State website to check for general partnerships? So far I can only find a place to search for corporations.
Part of the problem is that ptsh's don't need to file anything to become a ptsh. Filing of a Statement of Partnership Authority (GP-1) is optional; it can be filed with the SoS or the county clerk. Corp Code 16303. It need not be filed to have a valid ptsh, unlike a corp or LLC. I wasn't able to find any way to search for them in SoS's office, but I found a possibility: Go to:
If you have the name of a partnership entity, you could try entering it on this page.

iGAAP Alert: October 2012
Draft regulations proposing a new structure for narrative reporting in the UK
BIS has published draft regulations restructuring narrative reporting for all UK companies.
The business review will be replaced with a strategic report. This is broadly similar to business review but includes some extra content for quoted companies concerning the business model, human rights and diversity. The need to disclose essential contracts have been dropped. The directors' report is largely unchanged although information on principal activities and a handful of other requirements have been removed.
Shareholders who currently receive only the summary financial statement will in future receive the strategic report instead. This replaces a summaarised profit and loss account and balance sheet with what is essentially a narrative discussion about the company's strategy and performance.
If enacted, the regulations will come into force in October 2013. Comments on the regulations are requested by 15 November 2012.

Cold Stone Creamery - closed in Scarsdale & Rye
- p
- PlasticMoonRain Jan 26, 2008 03:49 AM
I just saw a "SPACE AVAILABLE" sign right outside the closed Cold Stone Creamery on Weaver Street in Scarsdale. That store lasted exactly one year. The one in Rye on Purchase Street looks closed too.
I could never understand how that concept could stay in business. I have almost never had a good experience at a CSC. The ice cream takes forever to be made once you order it, so it was not worthing standing on any lines there.
Customers do not want to wait 15-20 minutes on line to get an ice cream cone while listening to the employees sing these inane little ditties the store requires them to sing!
Awww, too bad. The one in Mamaroneck closed as well. I couldn't understand how people wanted a 'show' with their ice cream. Ick. I read about one person who paid the ice cream maker $20. NOT to put on a show.
re: RawTunaFan
Weird. I walked right by Coldstone in Rye on Wednesday and didn't notice anything. No great loss. We tried Coldstone once after it opened, thought it was terrible and never went back. Now, if something good would just go in.
re: marcia2
I didn't even know there was one on Weaver Street in Scarsdale. It's funny, but the Ben and Jerry's on Heathcote in Scarsdale didn't make it either. Yet, the Last Licks on Weaver is always busy. Is it quality of product, location, other services (ie Last Licks gets sports personalities), or franchise issues?
re: lucyis
I think it all comes down to the fact that it's easy to park at Last Licks, and it was not as easy to park at Ben and Jerry's!
re: scarsdalesurprise
Maybe its because you can purchase Ben and Jerry's in the market -- I know its not the same as getting it "fresh" or is it?
Also, maybe people support and have a loyalty to "smaller" local run businesses?
re: marcia2
Heck, I'd be happy if Haagen Daz went back to their former spot in Mamaroneck. I know this won't happen.
I liked their ice cream cakes.
I haven't found any local ice cream stores that give a honking amount of ice cream for the outrageous prices they charge. The only one I'm happy with is the Carousel, and it's not local -- it's on Martha's Vineyard.
re: dolores
Haapen Dazs reopened last week on their former spot 66 mamaroneck ave, I ordered a big ice cream cake for mother day. So beautiful that i don't want to eat it. they renovated the shop for 3 months. cleaner and brighter than before. i will definetely be back
re: jacobsonhotchick
Did they??
Good. Their cakes were far superior to Carvel.
re: dolores
In Mamaroneck? I thought I saw a sign up that they were putting some kind of Asian place in there.
re: Avalondaughter
Avalondaughter, I just googled and myspace is looking for an ice cream operator for Haagen Daz at 66 mamaroneck ave.
Is that their former space?
re: dolores
No, Avalondaughter, in White Plains.
66 Mamaroneck Avenue
White Plains, NY 10601
(914) 946-8498
Too bad. I don't do WP.
re: dolores
yes, same spot, i live close by, go there every weekend.
66 mamaroneck ave, white plains, ny 10601, their phone number changed 914-683-3999 , very friendly people working there. once in a while, they have special sale, you get 50% off on your order
re: Avalondaughter
Avalon - yes we are getting yet another Asian place on Mamaroneck Ave. in Mamaroneck - Umami or something near Chocolations on the Payless block. They are billing themselves as an Asian Bistro so imagine its either fusion or a variety of Asian but surely, in case the three Japanese restaurants already there weren't enough, Umami will have Japanese items on their menu too.
And just when you thought there couldn't be even more - I was told that the very large Space - on the opposite side of the walkway next to CVS - where Pizza Connection used to be - is going to be a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. In case you didn't have enough teriyaki options...
re: RawTunaFan
I was not a fan of Cold Stone and not sorry to see them go and hadn't noticed the one in Mamaroneck was gone. However, just want to say that the concept is actually a very old one and Cold Stone didn't create it. It was original to Steve's Ice Cream in Boston on Mass. Ave - pounding ice cream on a marble slab and adding mix-ins and since they take their ice cream very seriously in Boston, everything was fresh and great tasting. In the mid-80's Steve's briefly expanded and had at least one Manhattan store that I'm aware of. They even had pints in the supermarket which basically made no sense as the greatness of it all was to have them smoosh the ice cream flavor of your choosing with the mix-ins of your choosing. Anyway, it didn't last. I believe the original Steve's is still there in Boston and I hope it's still as great as it once but it's been a while.
Cold Stone, it would seem, took the Steve's concept and revived it some 20 years later added the obnoxious singing for tips and franchised themselves like crazy. Cold Stone's ice cream never really tasted of anything - made from mixes I've been told and was never very good.
I guess the novelty of Cold Stone is wearing off and people are realizing their ice cream isn't very good and their prices unjustified. I will note that two similar franchises - Maggie Moo's and Marble Slab, neither local in Westchester that I'm aware of - have much fresher and better tasting ice cream than Cold Stone.
Now, if Westchester could just get some fresh, homemade ice cream places in their place we'd be in business - see last year's long thread on the subject. For the record, across Mamaroneck Ave. from where Cold Stone is/was, is the newish Sal's gelateria. However, that didn't do it for me. I love gelato but theirs was only mediocre and at very high prices - $4 for a tiny cup and I mean tiny. Also nowhere near the variety of flavors or atmosphere of a real Italian gelateria.
re: laylag
Wow, thanks laylag. I hadn't tried Sal's place yet and now won't.
I also found Longford's to be waaaaaay overpriced for a, imo, tiny dish of ice cream. I don't think this area will ever see an ice cream place that gives gobs of ice for a reasonable price, do you?
re: dolores
You know Dolores, Sal's wasn't terrible but I was disappointed. Everyone has their "things" and one of mine is gelato - I'm very particular about it having eaten way too much of it in Italy - the good, bad and the extraordinary. Sal's flavors weren't intense enough - we had pistachio and nocciola. Neither gave you that fresh roasted nuttiness that makes each spoon a revalation. And, if you are going to charge $4 for something the size of a toddler's cup it had better be really, really good. Sal's wasn't despite my high hopes.
As for Longford's, as a result of that thread last year I learned their ice cream is full of stabilizers and other additives - "own made" apparently being a disingenuous attempt to have us believe it's "homemade". It's not. It's from a factory and no diff from anything in the supermarket . I always disliked their weighing policy too and once I found out about the additives figured I'm better off spending $6 on tub of Edy's (or two when on sale) slow-churned light. Now when I need homemade, fresh ice cream- just milk, cream, sugar ice cream with great flavors, I head to Paleteria Fernanez. Not the sit down and have a giant sundae kind of experience but great stuff stuff.
re: laylag
True, laylag. Then again, totally disproportionate to price, I decided to splurge on an ice cream maker. And OMG.
I'm perfectly happy with a 56 oz. 'half gallon' of Turkey Hill or a 'still' 16 oz. pint of Haagen Daz.
I miss Jahn's in Eastchester.
re: dolores
Turkey Hill makes a light Peanut Butter Brittle (my light ice cream preference simply a caloric issue - not about overall flavor and quality.) Anyway, that one is amazing- if you're a peanut butter lover as I am. I've only found it at the Port Chester S&S though.
I may have to get me one of those ice cream makers. I wonder how fat free milk would work out.
re: laylag
Omigosh, I grew up in Bayside and we had a wonderful Jahns. I also loved the old Howard Johnson ice cream. I agree with you , laylag, the Edy's slow churned light IS very good. I like the vanilla with some Trader Joe's salted crunchy peanut butter mixed in. The plain frogurt at Bloomingdales, or even the Baby Yogurt place in the Westchester, is a good alternative. Heck there are days I get a yen for the soft serve at mcDonald's although I don't want to think about the stabilizers in there!
Sorry ColdStone buhbye.
re: lucyis
I remember the Jahn's in Bayside. I went to Queensborough CC and one of eh girls in my crowd had the same birthday as I and a bunch of us (maybe 10 or so) would go there for our birthday sundaes and of course the kitchen sink. As far as CSC goes, I just thought that they are way overpriced. If I have a 2 for one coupon then I go there with my wife and her sister and we get 2 large whatevers and I take one and my wife and her sister share the other one.
re: laylag
You touch on my pet peeve,-nothing tastes like it used to, especially ice cream and baked goods. The core ingredients are no longer available to the stores without shelf stabilizers. Only a survivalist who breeds his own chickens and cows and grows his own grains can replicate a 1960's tasting ice cream cone (certainly a franchisee in the chain or corporate distribution has no shot). It's not just that we've gotten older or we're being nostalgic. It also seems that since the Edy's slow churned came out, not a few ice cream stores have bitten the dust in the area, since (besides the fact that it's a grueling way to make a living) they didn't offer anything tasting much fresher IMHO.
re: addictedtolunch
Steve's was great. IIRC, Emack & Bolio's also does mix-ins. I had some of their ice cream on the Cape last summer and it was still wonderful.
I think Sal's and Longford's are ok. Not great, but acceptable. I live near Rye and sometimes Longford's is just a decent place to take my son for an ice cream cone. The best gelato and sorbet I've found in the area is at Meli Melo on Greenwich Ave. The flavors are strong and true; the mint chocolate chip tastes of fresh mint, not mint flavoring. Unfortunately, it's not an ice cream sundae kind of place.
This is what I get for moving to the New York area. Boston does ice cream much better. (Wanders off muttering dreamily about Bailey's. . . )
re: marcia2
Laylag, Longford's stopped selling their ice cream by weight about a year ago.
Dolores- Jahn's in Eastchester-- what a great memory! Remember all the bottles of sprinkles lining the walls?
re: Dim Sum Diva
laylag, does Longford's still charge $7.00 for what, to me, is a mouthful of ice cream? One visit was enough after that.
Nooo, darn it, I don't remember the sprinkles! I remember the 'kitchen sink', which I never tried, but I do remember gobs of ice cream for reasonable prices.
I guess those days are gone forever.
re: dolores
I don't know how much they charge - as per post below, I last went probably at least a year ago.
re: laylag
As did I, laylag. Or two years ago, can't remember. My first and last time, since a small dish of ice cream was in the neighborhood of $7.00.
re: Dim Sum Diva
Guess that's how long it's been since I've chosen not to buy overpriced mediocre quality ice cream.
re: marcia2
You are right Marcia. Went to school up in Boston and they definitely do ice cream way better than New York. Steve's and Emack's were just phenomenal. Emack's used to have some cinnamon flavored ice cream (can't recall the exact name) that was orgasmic. The didn't do mix-ins when I lived up there though. That was Steve's thing.
However, what NY lacks in ice cream it makes up for in a ton of other categories including, this year, football championships. : )
re: dolores
I just tried Sal's for the first time and I really liked it. I had the Bacio and my DH had the caramello and we were both very happy with it. I had a small size and I couldn't finish it (and I have a huge appetite). Maybe I just have a horribly unsophisticated palate?
re: Avalondaughter
Hey avalon, have been in several times since posting this and had a different experience than the first one I posted about. Apparently the small serving was the misguided action of a server who believed she should swipe off any gelato over the level of the rim. Maybe it was management's early direction though - I don't know. However, recent visits resulted in a generously overfilled small cups. My daughter loves the Nutella.
I'm wondering if it's more than just lack of interest that closed Cold Stone, at least in Mamaroneck. It was always crowded when I went there. I noticed that there was some legal notice on the door saying they hadn't been paying their rent. The fact that they all closed at once seems a bit weird to me.
I liked it when it first opened because it was fun to create new ice cream flavors. It did get old after a while. I found myself mixing in the same stuff most of the time and the ice cream does have a rather artificial taste to it.
I have always liked Longford's, but I'm not going to get in my car and drive to Rye or Larchmont for ice cream. I guess I'll have to try Sal's eventually.
The BEST ice cream ever is at Bellvale Creamery. (http://www.bellvalefarms.com/creamery...) It's a bit of a road trip (I happen to be in that area every weekend because I keep my horses nearby), but worth every minute. Too bad it's only open from April-November.
You can't get ice cream any fresher (it comes from their own cows!-the dairy farm is right down the road). The flavors are very natural tasting. The consistency is wonderful.
In March I begin counting down the days until Bellvale opens.
re: Avalondaughter
Thanks, Avalondaughter. I'll have to put that on my 'must try' list in place of Casa Brusco. I have been to Warwick.
re: Avalondaughter
I went here based on a rec on another similar thread, and totally agree that the ice cream here at Bellvale is exactly what good homemade ice cream should be, and it's wonderfully creamy indeed. Very reasonably priced as well. Another bonus is the incredible valley view from the hilltop where this ice cream shop is located.
The one in Greenwich also closed. I never ate there because when I saw the process, I knew it wasn't safe for my daughter who has a food allergy.
A neighbor of the store (real estate firm) told me that they apparently didn't pay a single month's rent since the time they opened. I wonder if the chain is going under.
The CSC in Mamaroneck actually closed a few months ago. Not sure exactly when, but we had dinner at Toyo in mid-October for my daughter's birthday and after dinner we were going to go in for ice cream just because it was right there. The only time I've ever had CSC was a few years ago on 42nd Street. My husband and I were very surprised that it was closed since the chain seemed to be expanding everywhere. We ended up going to Sal's, and I can't even remember if it was good or bad, so I guess it couldn't have been too good (or bad for that matter).
It is weird, though, how they are all closing...
Ok, I just googled CSC creamery and came up with this from Wikipedia. There was a merger and in September 2007 the former president/ceo of CSC left a new person was appointed. That explains why things started happening at that time. (I'm on vacation in Mexico and in the hotel room while my son takes a nap, so I have time on my hands!)
re: ajs42548
2 quick points
1. This doesn't sound like a healthy company
2. Mexico sounds wonderful...get some sun for me!
re: ajs42548
There's also Marble Slab, another chain.
Two closed here in Connecticut as well very abruptly - SoNo and Wilton - very strange. The ones in Fairfield and Milford Mall are going strong though. I like their stuff when I'm craving it about once a quarter - sweet cream and vanilla cake batter rock when you are in the mood for it!
re: MasterofLightChick
My daughter has worked for the CSC in Somers for a while, but doesn't anymore since she is back at school. They (another owner) recently closed the store in Carmel, NY. I wonder if all of the stores in southern Westchester that are being discussed here were all owned by a single franchisee?
My favorite CSC mix is either sweet cream or dark chocolate (when they have it) with cookie dough (double is even better), coconut, fudge and chocolate shavings. Yum!
re: MisterBill2
We walked by the Coldstone in White Plains, (next to Legal's) on Saturday night and it was open with a sign saying it was under new management, so I'm kind of leaning towards the theory of a problem with a single franchisee.
re: marcia2
The 2 near my home on Long Island are still open, the only flavor I like is the sweet cream with nothing added. But way too expensive
I must say that I love Coldstone. There's just something about it. I personally don't like the singing or the show and I'm not a huge fan of the wait, but then again who is? I think oatmeal cookie batter, chocolate and cake batter together with a bunch of mixings is awesome.
I'm not a huge fan of the prices either but, I still enjoy it and have never had a bad experience. I will say they're going downhill. Last time I went I found out their cookie dough is different now. It was a bad different too.
I like Frosty Rock Creamery in Middletwon NY. They have two other locations as well. I think they're pretty good.
As I stated in my original post, I never could see how they could make any good money because the time it took to serve customers was FOREVER. The lines were always mercilessly slow, so either people got fed up waiting, or the costs of serving people were too high versus the overhead. It never seemed to be a profitable business concept to me.
re: PlasticMoonRain
It doesn't seem like you can have an operation like that and run it quickly when every order of ice cream has to be custom mixed by hand. You would have to hire more people than what would be profitable in order to keep things moving quickly.
ColdStone is a franchise operation so I don't think its anything wrong w/ the entire chain, I believe it was the same proprietor for all those stores. He had a cold stone license plate on his audi.
I know this because I got an iced coffee every day atthe same time at the scarsdale dunkin donuts and I always used to see him come in when that franchise was being built.
Big story in the small business section of the Wall Street Journal today about the many problems befalling Cold Stone Creamery.
>>Earlier in this decade, Cold Stone Creamery was one of the hottest franchises around. The super-premium ice-cream stores attracted scores of franchisees hungry for a piece of the "Ultimate Ice Cream Experience."
Now many franchisees are selling their stores, overwhelmed by soaring bills and shrinking profits. Some have lost their homes, broken their retirement nest eggs or filed for bankruptcy.
What happened?
Even as they rave about the quality of the ice cream, numerous franchisees say the numbers in Cold Stone's business model didn't add up. The cost of running one of the shops was so steep that making a profit was daunting, especially in an economy where a $4 scoop was a pricey indulgence, they argue. They also contend the company cut their margins even further by offering two-for-one coupons and making them buy costly ingredients from a single supplier. Some argue that the company's rapid expansion crowded stores too close together -- and brought in too many inexperienced franchisees.
A number of franchisees also contend the company misled them, giving them promises of profit potential that proved unrealistic or inaccurate revenue numbers from existing stores. And some say that they got little help from the company as their stores went under."
re: PlasticMoonRain
it's also reprinted here:
I am so glad to see them out of business. What a rip off that was (mom of 3 here).
I wish I could still get a Baskin Robbins cone on Mint chocolate chip, but instead I have found a nice alternative called 'Main Street Sweets' in Eastchester (used to be 'Just the scoop' where they sold Longford's NOT by the pound). Apparently, their ice cream is homemade. I only tried once, and it was good. They do have a version of Longford's cookie monster, though my hisband says it's not quite as good as the original.
Anyhow, I thought it may be worth mentioning. They are trying hard, so they probably deserve us giving them a try! It's in the Chester Heights section.

Something about painter being the grand prize in a contest to see how well you use painter amuses me. Guess it'd be handy if you have an older version.

Actually pvrhye you can use whatever application you wish to create the image. So if you are primarily a photoshop user and want a copy of Painter to round out your kit you can create the image using Photoshop.... or Paint Shop Pro... or MS Paint
thanks for clearing up, eric
just wanted to add that the exact contest rules are at the contest info link i posted.
Hey, no problem Gekitsu! I admit it does sound kind of funny at first. Thats also why Corel added the other products... so that those folks that already have Painter have a reason to enter.

Kyle Fuller thinks he is ready to come in and contribute to the Chicago Bears.
Fuller met with the media Friday after the defensive back from Virginia Tech was selected with the No. 14 pick in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night.
Fuller says he is looking forward to learning from Pro Bowl cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings. Fuller is expected to play on Chicago's nickel defense and special teams at the outset of his pro career.
General manager Phil Emery says the 33-year-old Tillman will remain a cornerback, ruling out a move to safety. He says Fuller is versatile enough to help in other ways until the makeup of the roster changes.

Hot Tip: Remove Tarnish With Salt, Flour and Vinegar!
Pancakes and French Fries
I've been singing the praises of Jules over at Pancakes and French Fries for quite some time now. After all, she did remove the largest amount of red Sharpie marker from her family sofa we've ever seen before! She's back again, this time taming 50 years of tarnish from some brass hardware with three pantry staples: salt, flour and white vinegar!
Jules came across a dresser with hardware that, although beautiful, was starting to show its age. Instead of replacing it with something new, she instead mixed up a combination of salt, white vinegar and flour. The mixture is applied to each piece and allowed to sit overnight.
When cleaned, they looked good as the day they were made. The results speak for themselves, so hop over to Pancakes and French Fries to pick up all the details (including a tip to make a triple batch to simply submerge the pieces instead of painting the mixture on). There's no scrubbing and something oddly cathartic about covering your brass accents with something resembling oatmeal... (maybe I watched too much Double Dare as a child...that's my story and I'm sticking too it.)

Thank you for posting this. It's amazing how much we can accomplish without killing ourselves with toxic stuff. :-)
Don't do this to a true antique...shining the brass removes coveted "patina". Or--so says The Antiques Roadshow.
(Which is silly, because the brasses would have been gleaming back in the day...but there you have it.)
I love tips like this! Does it work on silver as well?

This is a new construction home and is 98% complete but when the lender ordered appraisal they came out and looked at the house and said it not far enough along to appraise. THe only things left to complete are landscape in front yard, cut power on, final repaint and clean, mirrors in bathrooms, carpet and deliver appliances. I've seen homes in the same division get appraised months sooner than ours so I don't see the problem since they come back out after home is complete to verify everything has been completed anyway.
I've been worried about appraisal because I get 3,500.00 off price of home if I use the builders prefered lender so If I get a crap appraisal I can't go to a different lender without losing a bunch of coin.
Any thoughts?
btw estimated closing date is first week in September.
Only the appraiser knows what thishome will appraise for. The home does need to be 100% completed before a final appraisal can be done. The appraiser has a ball part number in mind so why not give him a call for his estimate. The appraisal will be based on what other similar home in your area appraised for.
I think it depends on the type of loan you are going for. We had to pay for a reinspect because the house wasn't completed. Landscape wasn't done, some architectectural details (two pillars) weren't 100% and some of the paint needed to be touched up. We went FHA and they have certain requirements and I do for a fact, appliances minus the refridgerator and washer and dryer are required.
Thanks for the reply.
It's 30 year conventional with 20% down. We have to pay for reinspect too thats why I dont understand why he claims it not far enough along to do the initial appraisal. Something seems fishy to me.

Just a few short years ago, when making plans to travel and choosing a hotel, your choice was usually between spotty, slow internet coverage and paying extra for each high tech amenity you would choose. Things are much different now, when you travel, you likely don't have to worry about internet access and some other technological services. What about going high tech? At many hotels nowadays, not only do you not have to worry about internet access, but advancements in technology have wiped away the old pay per view movies and have influenced every area of the hotel experience from checking in to waking up, room service, and entertainment. Here is a list of hotels world-wide with high tech so fabulous; you may not want to go home once you see the added benefits that technology adds to your stay, including convenience, entertainment and security.Aria Resort in Las Vegas, NV: At the time of its opening at the new area in Las Vegas called CityCenter, the Aria was deemed one of the most high-tech hotels in the world.

Did you know that Athens is one of the oldest cities in the world? Did you know that over 650,000 people live in Athens, and over 3 million live in the urban area called Greater Athens and Greater Piraeus? Did you also know that Athens is where our Olympic games originated? Because Athens is one of the oldest cities, its history is filled with interesting facts you may have never imagined. Here are five interesting facts that you probably didn't know about the Greek metropolis of Athens.Athens Has One of the Lowest Crime Rates for Capital Cities in the WorldAccording to the statistics, Athens is one of the safest cities in Europe and perhaps even the world. This is especially good news when you're looking for hotels in Athens because no matter where you stay, your location and accommodation will be relatively safe. Major crimes such as rape, murder and armed robbery are not a big problem in the city and the only thing you might need to worry about is the petty crime such as pick-pockets in crowded metro areas. Of course, this is not to say that serious crime doesn't exist in Athens, but compared to other capital cities around the world it is quite safe.

CHATTEROY-- The Riverside School District is preparing for another levy vote next week. The first levy failed in February.
KREM 2's Ashley Korslien spoke with officials about what could happen if it doesn't pass.
When the first levy failed back in February, the district went back to the drawing board, and decided to significantly drop the cost to taxpayers this time around.
In less than a week, voters will decide the fate of the riverside school district.
Educators say if this levy fails, the consequences would be enormous.
Roberta Kramer, Riverside School District Superintendent, said "I think it will be devastating to the district and to our kids and the community."
In February, the district asked voters to approve a tax that ranged from $3.91 to $4.34, per thousand dollars of assessed property value.
When that failed, officials dropped the cost to $3.42 per thousand. "We went out and we did some different meetings around the school district and I think made more contact with more people."
Without the funding, many staff positions and programs would be cut. Kramer explains, "It would be well over three million dollars in cuts to a 17.5 million dollar budget…music, drama, sports, full day kindergarten, several teaching positions."
Educators say a "no" vote could also result in a large drop in student enrollment.
The district is confident the lower price tag will change the minds of voters in the April 17th vote.

The Year of the Six Presidents

The presidential election of 1920 was among history's most dramatic. Six once-and-future presidents-Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, and Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt-jockeyed for the White House. With voters choosing between Wilson's League of Nations and Harding's front-porch isolationism, the 1920 election shaped modern America. Women won the vote. Republicans outspent Democrats by 4 to 1, as voters witnessed the first extensive newsreel coverage, modern campaign advertising, and results broadcast on radio. America had become an urban nation: Automobiles, mass production, chain stores, and easy credit transformed the economy. 1920 paints a vivid portrait of America, beset by the Red Scare, jailed dissidents, Prohibition, smoke-filled rooms, bomb-throwing terrorists, and the Klan, gingerly crossing modernity's threshold.less

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – The boards of Wausau Area Events and Main Street Wausau have changed how both organizations are run, and appointed a new director.
River District president Joe Mella says Kari Rassmussen has accepted the directorship of Wausau Area Events after serving as the events coordinator for several years. She'll be joined in promoting Wausau's downtown with whoever is hired as director of Main Street Wausau.
Mella says the position used to be held by Leah Alters, but it was determined late last year that having one person running both organizations was too much to ask of one person.
Both boards made the decision to change the structure last year, and were prepared to offer Rassmussen the job of Wausau Area Events director and Alters the directorship of the Main Street.
That job has now been posted for applications.

Hi all,
Im having trouble with some video, never had a problem before but this one is annoying me.
We did a diary of our year 7 rugby team playing at wembley on the grand final day. The ripped video is 10gb and plays no problem on the computer. When we have edited it and converted it to DVD and burn it the picture blurs when the camera moves. I have tried encoding the video to mpg and watching it on the screen and it still blurs but the uncompressed video doesnt.
I've not done anything different to previous videos so im stumped.

In 2002, a novel thought to be the first written by an African-American woman became a best-seller, praised for its dramatic depiction of Southern life in the mid-1850s through the observant eyes of a refined and literate house servant.
But one part of the story remained a tantalizing secret: the author's identity.
That literary mystery may have been solved by Winthrop University professor Gregg Hecimovich. who said this week that after years of research, he has discovered the novelist's name: Hannah Bond, a slave on a North Carolina plantation owned by John Hill Wheeler, is the actual writer of "The Bondwoman's Narrative," the book signed by Hannah Crafts.
Beyond simply identifying the author, the professor's research offers insight into one of the central mysteries of the novel, believed to be semi-autobiographical: how a house slave with limited access to education and books was heavily influenced by the great literature of her time, like "Bleak House" and "Jane Eyre," and how she managed to pull off a daring escape from servitude disguised as a man.
Hecimovich, chairman of Winthrop's English department, has uncovered previously unknown details about Bond's life that have shed light on how the novel was possibly written.
The heavy influences of Dickens, for instance, particularly from "Bleak House," can be explained by Bond's onetime servitude on a plantation that routinely kept boarders from a nearby girls' school; the curriculum there required the girls to recite passages of "Bleak House" from memory. Bond, secretly forming her own novel, could have listened while they studied, or spirited away a copy to read.
The research also shows that Bond may have been given a man's suit by a member of the Wheeler family who was sympathetic to her desire to flee.
A revolutionary discovery
Hecimovich, 44, of Charlotte, said that he has verified the writer's identity through wills, diaries, handwritten almanacs and public records. He intends to publish his full findings in a book, tentatively titled "The Life and Times of Hannah Crafts."
His work has been reviewed by several scholars who vouch for its authenticity, including Henry Louis Gates Jr., one of the nation's pre-eminent scholars of African-American history and a former Duke University professor. Gates bought the obscure manuscript at auction in 2001.
"Words cannot express how meaningful this is to African-American literary studies," he said. "It revolutionizes our understanding of the canon of black women's literature."
Gates said that Hecimovich's discovery answers one of the large and lingering questions that has vexed him for more than a decade about the author of the book.
Hollis Robbins, the chairwoman of the department of humanities at Johns Hopkins University, called it a "tremendous" finding. "I'm totally convinced," she said, "to the extent that anything historical can be documented without an iPhone picture of her writing the novel."
The book, whose language borrows from 19th-century Gothic novels, traces the story of its narrator, who endures life as a slave on a North Carolina plantation and, aided by her light complexion, successfully escapes to the North.
That tale closely mirrors the story of Bond. Enslaved on a plantation in Murfreesboro, Bond is believed to have been a self-educated woman who worked as a maid to the mistress of the house, Ellen Wheeler, assisting her with errands and personal duties like styling her hair.
But around 1857, Bond disguised herself as a boy and escaped, fleeing first to upstate New York and then to New Jersey, where she eventually married and found work as a schoolteacher.
After the novel was written, its manuscript was stored in an attic in New Jersey and was little noticed until Dorothy Porter Wesley, an African-American librarian, bought it from a New York City bookseller in 1948 for $85.
In 2001, Gates came across the manuscript in an antiquarian catalog, which described it as a "301-page handwritten manuscript purportedly written by a female fugitive slave." Fascinated by the discovery, he acquired it at auction with a winning bid of $8,500.
After the manuscript was authenticated, major book publishers took notice, and a 336-page book was released in 2002 by Warner Books, now Grand Central Publishing.
Digging through archives
Hecimovich, though his academic background is in Victorian literature, was intrigued by the manuscript and its author. In 2003 he set out on what became an obsessive quest to identify her, digging through archives to find relatives of the Wheeler family, conducting interviews, studying documents and working past dozens of dead ends.
The road to Hannah Bond, he said, was definitely not a straight line. But eventually he found her name in court and property records.
Through interviews and archival research, Hecimovich discovered that she had escaped from the Wheeler plantation and taken shelter with a family named Crafts in upstate New York, a possible reference to the pseudonym adopted for the book.
Yet important clues about Bond's life have not been found.
In one scene in the book, Ellen Wheeler dictates a letter to her maid. While it could be a wholly invented scene, Hecimovich said that it could easily indicate that the real Ellen Wheeler did the same with Bond. He has searched for a letter matching that description, in the hope that the letter's handwriting would match that of the manuscript and provide even more proof that Bond the slave and the "Bondwoman" author were one and the same. But so far he has been unsuccessful.
"If it exists, I'm going to find it," Hecimovich said. "It would be unbelievable."

The LaPorte City Council voted against a proposal Wednesday that would allow police to search for and detain illegal immigrants.
Critics say it could have led to racial profiling.
LaPorte's police chief says enforcing the ordinance would strain her already understaffed 43 member department.
The ordinance would have also created a hotline LaPorte residents could call to report suspected illegal alien activity.

Today we flipped the switch on another piece of a big redesign. Check out our new home page.
Our team did an excellent job of taking what had been a well-worn page and updating it to reflect a whole new design language. It was time for this very trafficked web page to get a facelift, and it looks sharp.
This design shares a similar jumping off point that you may have noticed with the release of Pixlr Express 2.0 for iOS. If you're a Pixlr Express Android users, you undoubtedly also saw a big change in design with the release of version 2.0 for Android this week. Not just new logos but wholly redesigned interfaces.
While this new home page is way prettier, there are a few important additions to the page that didn't exist in the past:
We hope you like the new design. In fact, we'd love to hear what you think. Hit us up on Twitter (@pixlr) with your redesign thoughts.
