I've ordered clothes from VS quite a few times now, but I give up! Tired of returning products that don't look like the picture, that don't fit right, and are incredibly overpriced. I'm sure there's some nice pieces, I'll just say buyer beware. Wish they had most of their clothes in store to try on. Great bras and panties though!

I just ordered a velour hoodie and a pair of matching velour pants. I must say, it's pretty cute. I ordered a size small at first, and it just did not look good, so I sent it back. I tried it again in a xs and it fits the bill. If you search for coupon codes, you can get alright deals or free shipping or something. The shipping was pretty fast. The price for what I got was ok, not some amazing deal, but not unreasonable either. Overall pleased.

I'm a 30DD. I've been told by VS "measuring experts" that I'm everywhere from a 32B to a 34D. My stupid teenage self didn't know any better not to buy those ill-fitting bras, so now I have a bunch of tacky bras in the wrong size chilling in my closet back home.
Now I wear Calvin Klein, Wacoal and Chantelle. They fit better and I don't have to wear dark shirts all the time now to cover up the neon VS bras.

I'm reviewing the Christie Fit Pants at VS. I bought size 2 30" inseam online, too short. Exchanged for 32" inseam which took FOREVER to get. (I should have just returned, then ordered a new pair online). They did not fit correctly in the butt/thigh area..too baggy but i have that problem with most dress pants. I didn't want to waste $6 again to return them so I decided to get them altered in the thigh area. It improved it slightly i guess. But i'm still not happy with them. They aren't stretchy at all. They wrinkle easily. They lose their shape after about an hour of wearing them. I spent $70+ with alterations and probably will not wear them much at all. I learned my lesson though - never buy dress pants online!!

I seriously dread this place. I have only bought 4 things ever from here. Their yogas are comfy but I buy a size up to avoid looking like all the girls at my school who have the material stretched so far that you can almost see through it and NOTHING can be private. I enjoy my local college shirt from there ($30) and the 2 bras I bought worked ok. I needed 2 different ones for 2 different prom dresses in the past 2 years. I had to get the bombshell the 1st time bc I needed some more volume to hold up the dress than what I had. The other one I don't remember which kind it was, but I had to get a low cut one since it showed a tiny bit of skin in between the boob panels (or whatever they're called) but not much since I value modesty. I also have gotten another pair of yogas as a gift (they were a size too small so I don't wear them) and their Love Spell parfume and lotion (which I like very much). However, they're overpriced and I feel embarrassed going in there with friends, love interests, or family. I do like that they measure you for free, try to help you find what you need, and have a 32 band size bc I find it impossible to find

This review is for the hiphugger underwear. I only wear VS hiphuggers (the regular, not the low rise) and I've acquired quite the collection in the last year. I love the different styles that come out and they're long lasting. They're so comfortable and they don't ride up or pinch me at the waist.
I wish I could wear their bras but I'm too busty and they don't make them in D cup.
As for their makeup, I've tried their eyeshadows and lipglosses and they're rather mediocre. The eyeshadows aren't very pigmented and the lipgloss is hard to apply. They're fun but don't expect the quality from other brands like Dior, Bobbi Brown or MAC.

i buy PINK panties, bras, and clothing; fragrances and beauty from victorias secret.
PINK panties: cute, comfortable. some of the cheekies show too much cheek and feel more like a thong. thats all i can complain about, except for the fact that theyre pretty pricey. 5 for $26 does not sound like a good deal to me, maybe for bras but not for panties. i always get them at the semi-annual sales or the $7 for $26 deals. all PINK panties are super cute! love the designs.
PINK bras: i own a demi push up, regular push up, and t-shirt demi. theyre all comfortable and bra fittings really do work. the names are true to their name, which means push ups really do push up. theyre are many styles and designs to choose from! again, super pricey bras. i always get them on sale or when they have specials.
PINK clothing: i looove their hoodies/sweaters. theyre beyond comfortable and keep you nice and warm. but ive noticed they all look the same, "LOVE PINK". i remember a long time ago, the PINK line had better designs on their clothing and cheaper prices. $45 for a sweater that says LOVE PINK and 86 on the back? yes theyre comfortable but not reasonably priced. same with sweatpants, ridiculous prices but yet amazing quality.
FRAGRANCES: there are many different scents to choose from! i love that. there are also value sets, lotions, eau du perfums, body powder, etc, for plenty of different scents. my favorites would have to be very sexy, sexy little things, pure seduction, and love spell.
BEAUTY: i find their lipglosses and eyeshadows are the best, but i have yet to try their face products. they seem to have good quality, but i guess the models wear that makeup so its worth a try!

Where do I start? In general, I find Victoria's Secret to be nothing special. I can find better-quality products for half-the-price elsewhere. Their body products consist of cheap ingredients, the longevity of their apparel is inexistent, and I am not a fan of the selection in general (cotton leopard-print panties? Yawn.)
That being said, I absolutely love their Gorgeous swim collection. It's nice to finally find a push-up swim top that is both flattering and supportive. It really sucks to shell out nearly $100 for a bikini though but a girl has got to spoil herself.
I was given their lipgloss and PINK lotion as a gift. Nothing special. The scent is great but for the price, I could get an organic lotion with much better-for-you ingredients.
Overall, it's okay. I would only shop there again for the bikinis.

Well, I'll start with the main thing VS sells:
Bras. I'm a 34DD. There aren't many places I can just stroll into and find a quality bra in my size that is also pretty. VS just doesn't cater to it. In the bras that are available in 34DD, my size is usually sold out. They get very few in shipment and they sell fast; I know because I used to work there (at two locations, actually). When I can find something in my size, I do like it. People that complain about the bras "not holding up" are generally not washing and caring for them properly. VS annoys me in the regard that they constantly discontinue items. Most of my favourite bras have been discontinued (the Nakeds, Secret Embrace).
Panties: The cotton panties are a good buy. Not my favourite panties, but there's a huge variety to choose from and tons of prints and colours and that's what keeps me coming back. Honestly, I prefer Soma panties.
Lingerie: You can't buy anything sexy if you're over a size 36C. Literally. The lingerie (sold by bra size, anyway) stops at that size.
Sleepwear: I quite like the sleepwear. From cotton pajamas to robes to satin slips, I've had them all and they've all held up for a long time.
PINK: Honestly, I miss how PINK used to be. When I first started working at VS back in 2006, PINK was aimed at young women in the 20s-30s range. It had been ever since it was started in the 80s. Then I watched as it turned into a "tween" brand and became marketed towards 12 year olds. Bleh. In recent years they've changed the demographic again, and it's moving back towards college-aged girls. I love the sweatpants for lounging in the house, and the yoga pants are adorable...I just wish the stores actually sold the different lengths in pants. Every store I go to, they have a sign saying the pants are available in short/average/tall, but they never carry them. Why?
Clothing: As far as clothing from the website/catalogue, I've never ordered it. I think it's overpriced for what it is, and I hate ordering clothes. Shopping for clothes is enough of a chore when I'm able to try it on in person. Having an "hourglass" figure makes for very, very frustrating shopping.
Make-up: So so. I love the lipglosses and have a few eyeshadows. Most of the face products are just average.
Fragrances: Loooove VS fragrances, whether it's their perfumes or body spray lines. There is a reason they win fragrance awards quite often. The perfumes are high quality but affordable at around $50 for the largest size. High end fragrances of similar quality in departments stores cost $80, $90. Can't use any the bodywashes because of the sulfates, though. Makes my excema flare up. :(
Hair care: They all have the same fragrance as Body by Victoria. Love the fragrance! I like the shine spray and mousse. The shine serum is nice but can weigh hair down. It's really only useful if you wear your hair straightened and down. The shine spray allows for any hairstyle. I can't use the shampoos and conditioners, again, because of the sulfates. :(

First things first, Victoria's Secret is overpriced -- especially for the quality. When you shop there, your money is mostly paying for the name. Keep that in mind when you think about buying from them.
The Pink line. I'm someone who is into cute and comfortable casual wear; Pink is exactly that. Their bottoms are flattering, and they are made to fit different body types (boyfriend, flare, bootcut, oversized, slim fit). Their shirts are wonderful for lounging around in and maintaining style. This line is just great for lazy days, students, and every day wear. You won't go wrong owning a few Pink items.
Their "SuperModel Essentials". It's similar to Pink, but for an older demographic.
The sleep wear. It's light weight and comfortable. It is definitely something you'd want to fall asleep in.
Their panties. They have the best fits, are always flattering, come in very feminine designs, and even have frequent sales on them! The materials are never irritating, either. You'll always feel sexy and comfortable when wearing their panties.
The beauty products. Their body sprays and perfumes are lovely smelling, and the cosmetics are great quality. I've gotten the best powder blush I've ever used from there.
The Cons:
The bras. They do not live up to the hype. Believe me, you can get amazing superduper push-up bras with the same quality at other places for sooo much cheaper. The straps are a bit weird, too. They don't hold up very well. They also get a bit repetitive for the designs/colors offered for the bras (nude, black, white, leopard); The variety in appearance isn't great.
The quality. Although the material is often very comfortable, the durability for their clothing is incredibly questionable. A lot of the clothing is thin, flimsy, and seemingly easy to stretch out or rip. Personally, when I buy expensive things, I expect to get the most out of them for an extensive amount of time, so this is a big turn off.
All in all, generally, Victoria's Secret has average clothing. Their above average status can only be attributed to their lounge wear, sleep wear, their panties, and their beauty products. What Victoria's Secret is famous for is actually not their strong point --- and frankly, that's a big downer.

Book Description:
From the author of the best-selling The Bedford Boys comes this epic story of courage and survival in World War II On a cold morning in December, 1944, deep in the Ardennes forest, a platoon of eighteen men under the command of twenty-year-old lieutenant Lyle Bouck were huddled in their foxholes trying desperately to keep warm. Suddenly, the early morning silence was broken by the roar of a huge artillery bombardment and the dreadful sound of approaching tanks. Hitler had launched his bold and risky offensive against the Allies - his "last gamble" - and the small American platoon was facing the main thrust of the entire German assault. Vastly outnumbered, they repulsed three German assaults in a fierce day-long battle, killing over five hundred German soldiers and defending a strategically vital hill. Only when Bouck's men had run out of ammunition did they surrender to the enemy. As POWs, Bouck's platoon began an ordeal far worse than combat - survival in captivity under trigger-happy German guards, Allied bombing raids, and a daily ration of only thin soup. In German POW camps, hundreds of captured Americans were either killed or died of disease, and most lost all hope. But the men of Bouck's platoon survived - miraculously, all of them. In vivid, dramatic prose, Alex Kershaw brings to life the story of America's most decorated small unit, and some of little-known heroes who played parts in this inspiring story.

As everyone knows by now, the Nets have moved to Brooklyn, and will look to be the team of New York. With the resigning of superstar Deron Williams, the acquisition of Joe Johnson, the new Barclays Center, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, and mysterious owner Mikhali Prokhorov, there is a ton of hype surrounding this team.
The move to Brooklyn seems to be unanimously a good one; New Jersey wasn't considered a great location by many, and they can take some of the spotlight from the underachieving Knicks.
Well, for one, Gerald Wallace isn't completely thrilled about moving into New York.
According to the New York Daily News, New York City isn't exactly the best place for the veteran forward:
"I'm afraid of New York City," the 6-foot-7 forward said.
Remember, Gerald Wallace is the guy who the Nets will call on to defend the likes of LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, and Paul Pierce in the Eastern Conference. He's not scared of the elite players in the league, but he is afraid of the Big Apple.
All joking aside, you have to understand where he's coming from. Gerald Wallace is one of the simpler NBA players, and is not one of the guys who cries to go to a bigger market so he can get more attention; Carmelo Anthony, I'm looking at you.
"Crash" goes on to say that he'll also be needing a driver in the city, which is certainly understandable.
Whether he's afraid of New York City or not, it'll be interesting to see how the Nets come together this season in Brooklyn.
Follow us on Twitter
I am a die hard Lakers fan but I have always respected Gerald Wallace and I admire his game. I wish we had him on our team. I know what he is talking about, I was a little afraid of the Big Apple myself at one time, but after going there and kicking it with a few of the locals I found that as long as you give them respect, they will respect you.
Wallace needs to go down to Rucker Park and play ball with some of those high flying "Slamma Jammars" when they see his game he will get mad respect and watch the Brooklyn Nets fill the stadium. One thing I can say from going there, they got some of the flyest hotties in the world, and that's my word.
Gerald shouldn't have any problem in New York as long as he keeps it real, he will earn respect if he just lets his game do the talking. Who knows, if we meet in the finals, win or lose, Wallace will get mad respect. With the team they are assembling it is only a matter of time. The people of New York are the best in the world so fit in where you get in and Win, Win, Win. Welcome to the Big Apple baby boy.

If you like western life, probably you will like this game. In Bad Cowboys game you are a cowboy and you have to fight against other cowboys.You have to be fast because you will see lots of cowboys.
Take your gun and begin to shoot.

The game need some more variety.
You need to make it feel good to play. Maybe add some different guns, different cowboys.
Different power-ups. There are so many things you can add, the cowboys can have different way of dying.
The games needs fixing up, do that, and it will be good.
Rated 1 / 5 stars June 18, 2012
Your game has no 'omph'. Add sound effects, give it a lot of polish, and a reason to keep playing. I couldn't tell if there was more than one level and became bored instantly. It was also very hard to tell if I was doing good or bad, so give player more feedback on his performance. What you have here is a prototype, not a game.

MTV Apologizes for Jersey Shore's Transphobia

While on paper Ford having more teams might get them a little better results!
That being said, just look in the 1990s, they in the mid ninties had more teams than GM! They had Roush, Jr Johnson, Bobby Allison, Robert Yates, Stovala Bros, Bill Elliiot, Bud Moore, and Wood Bros, Cal Wells, Tri Star, Cale Yarbrough Motorsports etc, didnt do any better than now!
I think they learned a lesson, In Nascar GM is Nascars brand of choice, They get to win without penality!
Notice when Jimmy Johnson wins, its because of the team!
But if another driver starts to dominate its because of "the brand of car", need rule changes!
Thus Ford wisely cut back on its Nascar spending and won just as many point titles in the 2000s as in the 90s, and Daytona 500s as well!
Bill Elliot in the eighties was an example of what happens when you dominate with another brand of car! Still true today!Rule change after rule change! You are just in a uphill battle unless you drive Chevy in Nascar!
Toyota will find out, Dodge has already found out, the GM lobby dominates Nascar! Spend all you want, you will get the same result, just the Globetrotter Chevy, verus the Washington General other brands!
Nascar needs to get its 'CAR FANS" back, it made the sport, a little more fair and balanced" approach to rules would do alot to promote the competition between the brand of cars!
Gm and Chevy have great cars and teams no doubt! But so do the others! and they need to treated as well!
Is so onesided now even Chevy Car Fans I know dont like Nascar anymore!!!!!!

Carven, Von Beirendonck kick off men's fashion in Paris
Models present a creation by Carven during the men's Fall/Winter ready-to-wear fashion show on January, 15, 2014 in Paris
Carven designer Guillaume Henry set a scene of prewar Chicago as his models sauntered around two pool tables.
Describing his look as "twisted", Henry said he deliberately mismatched the outfits, teaming a casual jacket with formal trousers.
Ultra-modern thick-soled shoes guaranteed a less serious silhouette, while suitcoats were shorter than classic cuts and trousers, too, often stopping at the ankle.
Suggesting "less aggressive proportions", Henry also went for velvet suits.
Carven sent several duffle coats, expected to be de rigueur next winter, down the catwalk, and threw in some black and white graffiti prints for a younger look.
Van Beirendonck rolled out more of his trademark "art wear", dressing models in garish vertical stripes of clashing colours suggesting escaped convicts and even clowns -- but wearing felt caps shaped like soldiers' helmets and bright high-topped sneakers.
Suit jackets or capes might top lycra leggings with geometric patterns -- sometimes with matching face paint. To beat the cold the bushy-bearded Van Beirendonck suggests fur bermudas.
The avant-garde designer staged the show at the Maison des Metallos, the former headquarters of the French metalworkers' union, where he took a stand against racism: one of his models wore a giant Indian headdress with "Stop Racism" scrawled across the feathers.
US designer Rick Owens, Louis Vuitton, Japan's Yohji Yamamoto and Dries Van Noten present their collections on Thursday.

I watched The Wolf of Wall Street the other night and afterwards there was one thought in my mind: If I run into any friends who mention it to me anytime soon, I'm going to say, "I don't think you should go see The Wolf of Wall Street."
I'm not going to say it's because of the nudity or the treatment of women. I'm not going to say it's because of the overuse of drugs. And I'm definitely not going to say that it's because it glorifies boiler room trading scams. I'm going to say, "because it's a waste of three hours."
This movie is basically the underdeveloped, uncreative lovechild of Glengarry Glen Ross and Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. There is so much that could have happened that never did. There is so much that deserved a closer look that got overshadowed by long scenes of our main characters being stupid on ludes. It's not funny, it's not exciting and it's nothing that anyone will ever aspire to be. Sure, we all want to be rich and many people enjoy doing drugs, but that's a scenario we've seen a billion times already. What's worse is that we know how the story ends since it's based on a memoir of someone's actual life. You could read the wikipedia article on Jordon Belfort and have no need to see it played out on the screen.
All of that aside, the simplest problem with the movie is that it's just too damn long. We don't need to see people say the same thing 4 different ways in a conversation, we don't need to see every single inch of Belfort crawling while intoxicated, we don't need a flashback to his driving after getting arrested for a DUI. Basically, in the words of Bruce Willis, this movie is full of "chuffa". It was one, great big chuffa-fest.
But ya know, there's plenty of played-out controversy going on, if you're into that sorta thing.

Alibaba enters social network arena
Summary: Chinese e-commerce giant launches new social networking site called "Laiwang" in beta and aims to attract not just its existing subscribers but global users too, reports note.
Alibaba has launched a social networking site and will be available on Google Android and Apple iPhone mobile platforms, according to reports.
Reuters reported last Friday that the social networking site is called "Laiwang" and is available on PC and downloadable on Google's Android-based smartphones as well as Apple's iPhone. An Alibaba spokesperson, Dora Chai, also told Reuters that the site is currently under "beta testing" but declined to give more details. On the site, it stated that the service is available for Android users but not for iPhone users, yet.
According to a separate report by Chinese state media Xinhua on the same day, the site is not only for Alibaba's existing users but for the global Web population.
If successfully launched, Alibaba's Laiwang service will compete with Chinese social media companies such as social network operator Renren.com and microblogging site Sina Weibo for users in the world's most populous country.

At the very least it was just one more embarrassing moment for our President and shows he truly has no skill in world politics and no ability to make the hard decisions.

Stop messing around with Anheuser-Busch or Molson, and start imbibing something that does right by your taste buds. The beer is beautiful at Bellwoods Brewery, the new craft brewery located at 124 Ossington at Argyle. Since recently opening in early April, Bellwoods has been serving up well crafted suds to local patrons who are starved for a brew that, well, tastes interesting.
Meeting at Amsterdam Brewery, owners Mike Clarke and Luke Pestl had a shared vision of what would make a great brewery, including combining academics with creativity and passion. This formula seems to be working since they just won gold for Strong Porter (Baltic) at this year's Canadian Brewing Awards for goodness sake.
Image via Bellwoods Brewery
Currently there are 8 beers on tap, sometimes including a guest tap rotation. If you want to start off with something refreshing try their newest tap, the wine-barrel aged Biere de Garde ($7.50), likely to soothe your thirstiness . Move on to the award winning Lost River Baltic Porter ($8.50); this beer at 7.7% has a deep roasted caramel flavour that pairs well with a red meat or sweet dessert. Try a glass of the Lost River with an order of duck hearts or something off the BBQ. Finish the evening off with the Witchshark ($8.50), a double IPA that tastes like fresh pine and citrus fruits. This beer is pretty hoppy with a solid bitter finish and at 9%, it's a big beer with lots of flavour. If you're like me, completely unable to make any decision, 4oz glasses are available at $3 each – try'em all!
Torontonians will be happy to know that Bellwoods' white picket fence patio is now open for the hot city nights. The patio is offset from the sidewalk which lends itself to a sense of intimacy while still allowing for prime people watching. Having once been home to an old autoshop, the front of Bellwoods is a garage door that opens to reveal the bar, a cozy seating area, and a mezzanine level that overlooks the actual brewery.
Brewing takes place during the day, but the entire infrastructure is in full view from the main floor behind glass walls or from above in the mezzanine.
While a prime spot for adult-type thirst quenching, don't expect to eat big dinner-sized portions of food. The menu is not representative of the average pub food, but Bellwoods isn't striving to be average. Mostly snack-sized and delicious, the food has been the creative work of Chef Guy Rawlings. However, as of June 18, Rob Julen (formerly Brockton General and Marron Bistro) has taken over creative control. Guests chefs will be appearing every now and then for special events including one in late July.
Expect to wait in a short line. Bellwoods doesn't take reservations and don't expect to be able to order shots of Jager:the brewery sticks to beers (yes, that means no wine either) and in my opinion that's a good thing. For hours and location:

- Terrific meatallanDined on 9/27/2014Our request for a booth was met. Entrees arrived very hot and tasty. Both ordered medium rare and were deliciously red in the middle. A special dessert was brought to honor my wife's birthday. Our servers were all very friendly without being intrusive.Special Features:
- Exellent in every wayOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 9/27/2014Our food and service were outstanding. Everything was cooked perfectly, and exactly as we were expecting. Our servers were wonderful - they took care of us from the moment we walked in. There are a lot of nice steakhouses in the KOP area, but Ruth's Chris is my favorite, by far. We will be back again and again. Thanks for an excellent meal. Our two teen boys (ages 14 and 16) loved it as well, and have already requested to come back for their birthdays.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special occasionsluvgoodfoodDined on 9/17/2014We went to celebrate our anniversary and they set us up at a nice rose petal covered table that made my wife very happy. We then had a great meal with the most attentive staff we've ever had. We plan on celebrating many more occasions here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sure BetOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 9/4/2014Always count on Ruth's Chris for a fine meal and great service for special occasions.Special Features:
- Always GoodAnonymousVIPDined on 9/4/2014The best steakhouse in KoP without a doubt. We have tried them all but this is the best. From when you enter with the friendly professional hostess to relaxing at the bar this is the place. We usually have our steaks at the bar because Maria gives us the best of both worlds. Excellent well poured martinis to fantastic steaks with impeccable service this is our place of choice in King of Prussia. Marsha has found another winner in the new manager who never skips a beat and welcomes each dinner with a friendly hello. Give Ruths a try and you will never go back to the others.
- 5 Star Food and ServiceMegsVIPDined on 9/1/2014This Ruth Chris location is a hidden gem. Great service, wonderful ambiance and delicious steaks and seafood! Our server Jeff has waited on us on more than one occasion and he makes a fantastic meal even more enjoyable. From the martinis to the creme brûlée, it's a night done right!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Decent occasion diningrgharris45Dined on 8/27/2014Typical American Steak House on high end of expense scale. Great service, sizzling steaks, overpriced (but tasty) sides, pleasant ambience. We recommend this fine dining restaurant for special occasions and business dining.Special Features:
- One of the Best Visits!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/23/2014We've been here many times. The service was impeccable. The food was served timely and hot. We loved every minute of it.

- Excellent food!LoveRuthsChrisDined on 8/20/2014Ruths Chris is my favorite restaurant. My wife and I have been coming the past couple years to celebrate our anniversary. There's no other restaurant I would consider going to other than Ruths! for special occasionsSpecial Features:
- Birthday dinnerMarielleDined on 8/20/2014I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and had told the restaurant that it was his birthday. The moment we sat down, our waitress said happy birthday and that the dessert was complimentary... It took away the surprise of the dessert coming out with a candle! Also, when the dessert came out, the candle wasn't even lit until the waitress put it on the table. It was disappointing for the amount of money I had spent that evening. The restaurant overall is a great place, but not for a birthday surprise.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great DiningDiningDined on 8/20/2014Dining at Ruth's Chris was a wonderful experience from when we walked in the door getting greeted, food OUTSTANDING and our waiter Jeff was exceptional !!! We have dined at many Steakhouse's which have taken a step backwards over the years, so it was great finding that Ruth's Chris has not gone in that direction.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- special occasionOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/16/2014I took my son here for his 11th birthday since he loves steak. We had great food and the staff went out of their way for his birthday, even treating him to dessert. We have decided to make it an annual tradition :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/14/2014Best steaks of all the chains. The sizzling platter thing is really good.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service good foodlovetoeatoutDined on 8/12/2014Can't be the service. Neither hubby or I was in love with our steaks. The calamari was great & Lobster tail was overdone. Probably wouldn't come back unless there was a great promo.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a great experienceChuckB942Dined on 8/9/2014Whether I am with a group of 40 or just with my wife and daughter the level of service I receive is always great. The management makes sure that all is going well and if anything is wrong they are more than happy to take care of it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- weeknight dinnerkimberDined on 8/8/2014Food was good. Had a $99 lobster special. Lobster and steak were great. Everything else just okay. Service was expected but nothing you wouldn't get at any other restaurant. Not worth the money.Special Features:

- Great SteakChezDined on 7/31/2014Celebrated our daughters 21st bday. We had a great steak. Steak came out sizzling hot and the plate was still cooking it.

This is a can't miss place to go enjoy a great steak.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Off parNightoutDined on 7/31/2014Food was good however service was not as good as it usually is. Waiter was hard to find and he would forget what we asked for.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mediocreOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/28/2014I'm sorry to say that I will not return. The petite fillet was sub-par, yet my wife's was quite nice. Garlic mashed potato was good, but nothing to write home about. The broccoli florettes were nice - prepared just right. The dinner rolls were.... It's just not worth going on. I travelled a lot for business and have eaten dinner with clients in many fine restaurants. This just isn't one that I will visit again. Sorry. Jack Christian Sales, Esq.
- Great food and serviceMINKSCVIPDined on 7/23/2014I went there in the mood for some seafood and just got there at closing. They were very accommodating and happily served me. I ordered a bar b que shrimp appetizer and my waitress suggested the Tuna. Both were great and the service was excellentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delish!BelleNicoleVIPDined on 7/23/2014Ruth Chris' never disappoints! Excellence in service and cuisine! You can't get a better cooked filet. Managers always stop by my table and offer coupons or tickets to local events. Very friendly and professional, from the front door, to the servers, to the management. One of my all-time favorite restaurants in the Philadelphia region.Special Features:
- Wonderful Birthday dining!ValerieVIPDined on 7/20/2014I had a wonderful birthday dining experience at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in King of Prussia, PA. I was happy to be at my favorite table. Manager Lowe made it a special celebration by adding a personal touch to the table. The porterhouse for two was excellent. The sweet potato casserole was delicious. The wedge salad was plentiful. Our server Jeff was outstanding. He was very professional, attentive, and added his own special part in my birthday celebration. Thank you to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in King of Prussia for providing me with a lovely place and excellent food to celebrate my birthday.Special Features:
- RobinDined on 7/18/2014Absolutely delicious. Great service. Lobster special is the bomb!Special Features:
- Perfect for our anniversary!martellepDined on 7/15/2014First, thank you so much Ruth Chris for making this last minute dinner for two, a very romantic night out for us. I wanted to surprise my wife with an early dinner before we went to our company outing. I booked Ruth Chris through opentable and noted that we were celebrating our one year anniversary. Ruth Chris, without me knowing or asking....made our table very romantic with rose pedals, a lovely red sash and treated us to a complimentary dessert. They definitely went above and beyond without me even asking! The food was off the charts. You def. can't go wrong with the filet with blue cheese crumble or oscar. Our waiter was very attentive and polite and the manager even stopped by our table to congratulate us. 5 stars all the way!Special Features:
- FoodGreatSteakDined on 7/12/2014The food was awesome. Steak was cooked perfectly. We have been several times, this was my husband's favorite time.Special Features:
- Special Dinnerwilling2rateDined on 7/12/2014The food, service, and ambience were all outstanding. The "personal" birthday cheesecake made the event even more rewarding.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/11/2014Great food but horrible service. Very slow and a couple even walked out that were seated behind us after no one came over to greet them.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Great SteakRBEBVIPDined on 7/5/2014Visit Ruth Chris at least every other month and always receive very good meal and service. Look forward to our next visit.Special Features:
- Not as good as expectedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/30/2014My husband and I had heard many great things about Ruth's Chris Steak House and I decided to treat my husband to a special dinner for a belated Father's Day treat. The experience was disappointing. The table was very cramped that we were seated at. The food was pretty average but we were expecting a lot more based on what we had heard. I had ordered my filet done medium and you would expect that in a great steak place the meat would be done as you had ordered, the meat came out medium rare to rare and the waiter suggested that I continue to cook the meat on my very hot plate, which worked out pretty well but not what you would expect for a fine steak house.Special Features:
- To noisyFlong1975Dined on 6/28/2014I gave this three stars mainly because I was disappointed in the noise level. I thought we were going to have a nice, romantic dinner at a high end steak house. It was so loud in our dining room that we could not hear each other over the other guests. It felt like we were eating a high quality, expensive meal in a cafeteria or Denny's. Was it too many large tables in the one room? I am not sure. Otherwise.... Jim, our server, was great! The staff was very friendly. The food was excellent.Special Features:
- Off Night??CaptainJackDined on 6/28/2014We typically dine at Ruth's Chris to celebrate our anniversary. In year's past, we walked away with our expectations being met/exceeded. However, on this night we were surprised at the noise of some parties bordering on the edge of obnoxious as well as the quality of some of the food. We both ordered dishes off the seasonal menu with crabmeat - the filet w/stuffed lobster and the mixed grill. We found the crabmeat dry and the taste not pleasing at all. Should have stuck with the staples and ordered the strip! We were also disappointed that the warm apple crumb tart was anything but warm...but, it was on the house for our anniversary...so, not complaining. On the plus side, our service was exceptional and we would still go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversaryscotty269Dined on 6/26/2014Came with girlfriend, server prepared our table with rose pedals. Everybody, from bussers to the manager came to wish us a happy anniversary. Great service, great food. Worth the expensive price!Special Features:
- Celebrating 20 YearsFamilyManDined on 6/25/2014My wife and I celebrated our 20th year wedding anniversary at this location and were pleasantly surprised. Recently there were some reviews that seemed quite critical which gave us some concern. Yes it is expensive but depending on the occasion the food, service and constant attention to detail along with special request made it worth it. The location could benefit from a facelift (somewhat dated design) but neat and clean. I would certainly dine there again.Special Features:
- Excellent for anniversary!akmjrmDined on 6/23/2014We went there for our 35th wedding anniversary and were treated like royalty! Our table was covered with rose petals and all staff members called us by name and wished us a happy anniversary. The filets were prepared perfectly and were extremely tasty! The side dishes (shoestring fries and mushrooms) were plentiful and tasted great. The rolls were warm and had an excellent flavor. The service was attentive and friendly. The manager came by late in the meal and offered us free desserts for our special day. We were too full to accept them and she offered to give them as a take-out, which we couldn't do due to being in a hotel for the night.Special Features:
- Ruth's Chris - King of PrussiaArugulaDined on 6/23/2014We had a wonderful dinner. The food was exception as always. I had one of the special prix fix and my wife and mother had rib eyes. It was my mother's birthday and they gave her dessert of her choice. Fabulous. We will definitely go back again.Special Features:
- 6-18-14OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/18/2014I've been to Ruth Chris on numerous occasions, but this time felt we were being rushed. We ordered dessert and before our dessert came out we were given the bill. Never experienced that before. The waiter even came to check on payment before dessert came. Then when I couldn't finish my dessert and I asked for a "doggie bag" the waiter handed me the bag and container to fill. For the amount of money spent, the waiter should have taken care of it. Will never go back to that location again!
- LinDLinDDined on 6/15/2014The best part of the evening was the service. Very very disappointed in the entire meal. Every steak had to be sent back and our server even agreed they were not prepared right. Second steaks were not any better. Too expensive for the quality of the food.

Soooo into this.
To learn about the music of the train, check out From Hear To There's first episode, Subway Symphony.
An Animated Look at the Elegant Geometrics of the Subway
Keita Onishi's music video is so spellbinding that it evokes a computer screen saver, making the viewer want to gaze mindlessly at the screen until it begins again. The video features "Dynamics of the Subway," from the experimental Japanese band Haisuinonasa's first album, Animal Bodies. Each geometric shape matches a musical note, in sync with the score. In the end, the shapes reveal not only a moving train, but the components of the subway system.

Stanley Kubrick set out with a camera to capture the stories of New York's subway commuters in 1946. Even though I'm riding the rails with a microphone, I find these photos so inspiring.
I love this one and the sly moment of affection it captures. Have you spotted a moment like this? Did you meet your sweetheart on the train? Share your subway love story here.

What If You Had? (Celeb Edition) remakes you with celebrity attributes
What If You Had? (Celeb Edition) is a fanciful free universal app that lets you digitally implant celebrity noses, smiles and eyes on any picture you choose. Want Justin Bieber's nose? Or the smile of Alicia Keys?
The app gives you a catalog of famous body parts, then lets you attach them to a picture in your camera roll or take a fresh photo right from the app. The results can be as realistic or as strange as you like.
When the new nose or other part appears you can move it, resize it, rotate or it,or change the color balance to match the photo it is being inserted onto. I expected the result to look pretty phony, but with a little attention you can make the changes look realistic, or outlandish if you prefer. You can get really, er, strange with pet pictures...
When you're done, creations can be shared with friends via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or email. This app is not a Photoshop replacement, but it is a fun weekend app.
What If You Had? is a 30 MB download that is optimized for the iPhone 5, and the app requires iOS 6.0 or greater.

Liverpool is coming off an embarrassing loss to Hull City, a game they should've won as contenders at the top of the table. It dropped them to fourth in the table and they have a pair of games coming up they're expecting to win. They play Norwich on Wednesday and then West Ham on Saturday, both at Anfield.
"We always want to win our home games," said Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, via Sky Sports. "At Anfield this calendar year we've had 15 games where we've won 10, drawn three and lost two so our record has been very good.
"We go into two home games, which is what we are focusing on, and if we get the points from them we are still well on course to where we want to go.
"In the time I've been here we've never lost two (league) games on the spin and that's really down to the positivity of the players and how they can bounce back and recover after a defeat.
"It's that type of league; if you lose a game, you can drop a few places. If you win a couple of games on the spin, it will keep you up there.
"Our idea was to get through to the midway point being in and around the top positions, which we have been until now.
"The league has shown this year, as much as any other time at this level, that it's very unpredictable and the scoreline (at Hull) probably suggested that.
"But you can't dwell on it. You've got to refocus and reset and go again and that's what we will look to do. We just need to get over the disappointment – which we will do.
"I always have to look at the bigger picture and, for me, the bigger picture is still very bright.
"At this moment in time, we sit fourth; if we win on Wednesday night, we could be second again."

Foot Ulcers and Wounds
Ulcers are caused by the breakdown of skin leaving an open sore. The most common types of ulcers are venous ulcer, arterial ulcer and neuropathic ulcer. Wound care is necessary to ensure the open sore closes and heals properly
Definition of an ulcer: an open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane that fails to heal
Definition of wound care: steps taken to ensure that a wound such as a foot ulcer heals correctly
What is an ulcer?
An ulcer is an open wound in the skin that appears as an open crater and exposes the deeper tissue. Ulcers are wounds that generally will not heal or keep reoccurring.
What does an ulcer look like?
- Open sore exposing deeper tissue
- Skin around sore may be red, swollen and painful
- Fluid may ooze from the ulcer (blood or pus)
- May have a swollen leg with burning or itching sensations
Common Ulcers of the Leg and Foot
- Venous ulcers
- Arterial ulcers (ischemic ulcers)
- Neuropathic ulcers
What are venous ulcers?
Venous ulcers are commonly seen above the calf or on the lower ankle. Venous ulcers are most common in patients who have a history of swollen legs, varicose veins or a history of blood clots.
Characteristics of a venous ulcer are:
- Shallow sore
- Irregular shape
- Usually appear on the lower leg and ankle
- Associated with contact dermatitis
- May/may not be painful
Risk factors for a venous ulcer are:
- Deep vein thrombosis (blood clot)
- Congestive heart failure
- Varicose veins
- Obesity
- Long periods of sitting or bed rest
- Pregnancy
What are arterial ulcers?
Arterial ulcers are commonly seen on the outside (lateral) part of the foot, ankle or leg. Arterial ulcers are most common in patients with very poor circulation and blood flow to the leg. When pressure is placed on the skin, due to foot structure or even ill-fitting footwear, the skin is damaged but unable to repair itself due to poor blood flow to the tissue, which can lead to an ulcer.
Characteristics of an arterial ulcer are:
- deep sore
- punched-out appearance
- smooth wound edges
- found mainly on the outside (lateral) of the leg or foot
- skin is pale, shiny, thin and taut
- minimal to no drainage from the wound
- very tender and painful
Risks for an arterial ulcer are:
- poor circulation
- ill-fitting footwear
- renal disease
- increased aged
- certain disease such as diabetes or peripheral arterial disease
What are neuropathic ulcers?
Neuropathic ulcers are associated with patients who have lost their sensation to pain. Patients will typically exert a lot of pressure at certain spots under their feet when they walk creating a build-up of callus. As time progresses, the pressure becomes so high that the callused area eventually breaks down and an ulcer is formed except the patient will hardly notice any pain.
Characteristics of a neuropathic ulcer are:
- painless
- surround by callus (thick, dead skin)
- located typically around the bottom of the foot or the tips of toes
Risks for a neuropathic ulcer are:
- history of foot ulcers
- loss of sensation in the feet (neuropathy)
- poor circulation
- swollen feet
- ill-fitting footwear
How do you treat leg ulcers?
Since every patient is unique and every ulcer is different, each patient's treatment plan will be based on the type of ulcer, patient's general health and ability to care for the wound.
The goal at Cooksville Foot Care Clinic is to ensure the necessary steps are taken so foot ulcers heal correctly. Treatments will focus on relief of pain, speed up recovery and heal the wound.
General treatment options for ulcers may include:
- Antibiotics (if an infection is present)
- Medications to prevent a blood clot (Anti-platelet or anti-clotting)
- Wound dressings
- Hydrogels/hydrocolloids
- Alginate dressings
- Collagen wound dressings
- Autolytic agents (debriding agents)
- Antimicrobial dressings
- Compression stockings
- Topical wound care therapies
- Custom-made orthotics or shoes to offload areas of pressure
- Padding to offload areas of pressure
How can ulcers be prevented?
By decreasing the major risks of ulcers you can help prevent ulcers from developing or getting worse.
- Quit smoking
- Control your cholesterol levels
- Manage your blood pressure
- Manage your diabetes and control your blood sugar levels
- Discuss possible drug therapies with your family physician to prevent blood clots
- Exercise (seek medical advice from your family physician before starting)
- See your family physician at least once a year for a full physical examination
- See your foot specialist to get a comprehensive foot exam performed

Welcome to my fourth annual TRADECENTRE BLOG, Page 4!
Email Jay!
Matthew Barnaby: "... I talked to players in the Western Conference (about the Jokinen deal) and they said 'Great'... 'He's a cancer'" Wow.
Barnaby: "... they have a very good locker room in Calgary that will probably be able to keep him under control..."
Jay Feaster: "... this is a coach (Keenan) that knows him..."
Laviolette: "... Olli Jokinen is a front line player... he can even play the point on the power play... "
Barnaby: "... maybe this is a chance to restore his reputation..."
Duthie asks: "Do these moves elevate Calgary into the stature of a Detroit and San Jose?"
Feaster: "Yes... great goalie.."
Laviolette: "... Calgary vs. Detroit... I'm taking Detroit..."
1:14 - Ryan Rishaug joins us from Ottawa (where the Oilers are playing on a road trip) .... Oilers are practicing and Eric Cole (mentioned in many rumours) is on the ice...
Brendan Clark has a question:
"... I've always thought Steve Simmons of The Reporters and Alex Yankou from the original Degrassi Jr.High had a remarkable resemblance. Can you confirm or deny if, in fact, they are the same person?"
I can neither confirm or deny that fact. Uh oh, the geeks are coming out of their basements, J.D. in Burlington, ON asks:
".. did Duthie just refer to teams unsure of their status as buyers/sellers as belonging to 'Middle Earth'??? Does that mean Gary Bettman is Sauron?"
This from Shane in Ottawa:
"If you could compare yourself to any NHLer past or present, who would you pick? Personally, I think Manute Bol during his stint with the Indianapolis Ice"
Wow... that hurts... I was going to say John Tonelli.
1:24 - Darren Dreger says: "Mark Recchi has been traded to the Boston Bruins"
Bob McKenzie: "... Los Angeles Kings have signed goaltender Erik Ersberg for a 2-year extension... " Say it with me nation!
Gord Miller: "... it looks as though contract talks between Chris Neil and the Ottawa Senators have broken down... clearing the way for him to be dealt... "
Dreger: "... the Pittsburgh Penguins are interested in Bill Guerin and Jarrko Ruutu..."
1:26 - Peter Laviolette has joined Pale Rider Pang and Pierre with Duthie at the main desk. "Recchi is a great pickup for the Boston Bruins..."
1:29 - Mark Recchi is on the phone: "... I'm excited... I'll go do whatever they want me to do... "
Derek Grieve asks an easy one:
"Who had a better mustache? Gino Reda or Jim Van Horne in his SportsDesk days?" Two legends... only one mustache can win out... it's J.V.H
1:32 - The Recchi deal is : Recchi and a 2010 2nd Round Pick for Matt Lashoff and Martins Karsums
1:33 - Dave Hodge: "... Did you hold Keith Jones out of that segment in case he got hurt?"
Daniel Reid again with the mustaches:
"... Gino Reda in his prime or Tom Selleck?" It's a wash.
Joe Giannotti writes in to say that Eklund is reporting that I'm being traded for a pair of pants... it's an e5... so that means it probably won't happen! Whew!
Andrew Siebert just wrote in and offered $20 for my TSN boxers shorts. Does he know I've been wearing them? All day?
Mark Malloch wonders:
"Who has the best salt n' pepper hairstyle? Craig MacTavish, Dan O'Toole or the Old Prospector Gus Chiggins?"
I'd be more worried about coyotes if I was yer!
Devin Wells just wrote in with some disturbing news: Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green are apparently back together. I am officially depressed.
Mike from Barrie with some kudos:
"I just wanted to congratulate you by scarring Duthie and probably hundreds of others, with that close up of your Dan O'Tooles" No problem. I'm not ashamed of my body and you shouldn't be either Mike.
Nick just wrote me from Calgary to say: "Calgary should trade Bertuzzi for Bouwmeester" Oh boy.
1:45 - There's a shot of me filling up both the O'Toole and Reda mugs with more delicious coffee... I've got to make sure to shut down this live camera in my place when TradeCentre is done
1:49 - Cory Woron joins James on the phone... there was a rumour that Dominic Moore was on the way to Chicago... that has been denied by the Leafs...
1:51 - Gord Miller says that according to a Denver Post reporter... Peter Forsberg is in Denver and will announce his retirement tonight! "Fittingly enough... prior to a Colorado/Detroit game..."
1:53 - Dreger: "Jay Bouwmeester and Derek Morris are 'connected'".... the Coyotes are waiting for Bouwmeester to possibly be dealt
1:54 - McKenzie: "Bill Guerin deal to Pittsburgh is a rumour that may be close to happening...this would be a different deal than the one that was supposed to happen last weekend..."
1:55 - McKenzie: "... the New York Rangers are said to be very interested in Derek Morris..."
1:56 - Ryan Rishaug joins us from Oiler practice in Ottawa to report... that the Oilers have done nothing... so far... "the optics of the Calgary Flames being so active are not going to sit well with Oiler fans..."
1:57 - Gord Miller - "... the Colorado Avalanche say Peter Forsberg is NOT in Denver... " So the Denver Post report was wrong. Thanks for nothing Denver Post!
1:58 - Dreger - "... I've just received a text message that Bill Guerin is going to the Pittsburgh Penguins"
1:59 - Keith Jones: "... I would take Bill Guerin over Miro Satan ANY DAY ...."
2:00 - Keith Jones: "... I am now officially on record that the Pittsburgh Penguins will make the playoffs... "
Paul Cesana wonders:
"Is it true when you're in the studio you're not allowed to look Gino Reda directly in the eyes?" I can't talk about that. I don't want to put my life in danger.
Rick Walbourne wonders:
"Where can I get my hands on a Sara Orlesky mug? I know it's not the real thing but she won't take my calls"
Ben Perry from Boulder, Colorado states:
"... Lawrence Nycholat is this year's version of Roman Vopat..."
2:06 - Gord Miller - "... Bill Guerin to the Pens for a 5th round pick... which can become a 3rd round pick if Pittsburgh wins a playoff round..."
2:07 - Darren Dreger - ".... San Jose Sharks and Detroit Red Wings expected to fight it out for Chris Neil..."
Dreger: "... Chris Neil was hoping for a 4-year... perhaps a 5-year deal from the Ottawa Senators... Bryan Murray said last night that he had a deal in place to trade Chris Neil if contract negotiations fell apart..."
2:09 - James Duthie: "... right now 8 trades and 17 total players traded... could be the quietest Deadline Day in 10 years..."
Tyler Coveney from St.Catherines, ON writes:
"That Gino Reda mug you've been drinking out of seems very similar to the one Jesus once drank from. Is that in fact that same one or just a replica?" No it's the same one. The Holy Grail that Jesus drank out of had Gino Reda's picture on it.
2:11 - We have a shot of John Tortorella coaching Sean Avery at practice this afternoon. Weird.
Keith Jones: "He's asking him a Quiz question..."
Keith Jones: "... If Vancouver is in play for Jay Bouwmeester... that's where he's going to go... "
Dutchy now standing with Pierre and he says this about him: "... I had to help 'Chunky Trunks' up here on the riser..."
Pierre: "... I think we're going to see Chris Neil go pretty soon here..."
Justin Jones in Manitoba says:
".... it is a good thing Pang and McGuire have no hair, because Duthie and Jones definitely used up TSN's hair product quota for the day..."
Dutchy: "... can Radek Bonk skate in the new NHL?"
Pierre: "... he couldn't play in the old NHL"
Pierre: "... If the Canucks get Bouwmeester... Bieksa is going the other way..."
Craig Stannix writes:
"What makes you the lucky one to stay home, watch TV, and type a few words into your blog?" Because I'm ugly that's why.
Ean Moxam wonders:
"I'm teaching in Sudbury right now and heading to McDonalds for lunch. What should I have?" Big Mac combo, coke, double cheeseburger on the side. It's the "Jay Onrait"
Jon Pynn has a legitimate question:
"Is Pierre that psyched about everything? Or just hockey stuff? I would love to see him commenting on a Wal-Mart employee's scan technique"
Even better I would love to see Pierre as a Wal-Mart "greeter"... he would prepare you for a very intense shopping experience...
In addition to offering a mint condition 1984 Honda Accord for the Gino Reda mug, Jon Troke in Grand Falls-Windsor, NL states:
"I've spent most of my day reading your blog instead of working. Should I just quite my job as it's apparent what my true calling in life is, reading your blog. Because I'll do it"
Sure Jon, as long as you can support yourself on an unpaid internship.
Ian Miller has what he calls a "serious question":
"Duff or Underwood?"
Ian I don't even think it's a contest... Underwood by a country mile! Oh SNAP!
2:28 - James Duthie just said his 8-year-old daughter's favourite song is Lady GaGa's "Poker Face"... why?... because...
We have a clip of Darryl Sutter telling Jermain Franklin that rumours of the Flames looking for an offensive defenceman are "not accurate at all" ... then we show the deal that brought Jordan Leopold to Calgary! Poker Face!
