Sociological Images put out a commentary on blogs that mock digital stock photography, such as Stocking is the New Planking. This is my favourite shot. Love the quote and the re-worked image. It shows up the ridiculous pose from the original and it makes a great comment on women's bodies, beauty ideals and notions of health found in marketing and popular culture. Fab!

It means that two pathetic specimens who have let religion dominate their lives are panicking over a frog.
And a cynical one at that!
Probably an ornament that detects when you pass it.
You live in the north west and you have never heard a frog before? You been hiding under a rock or what? there are frogs everywhere in the north west. Maybe there were two of them and they are smarter than you.
Maybe it called a toad truck for help? Perhaps it got tired and croaked? Seriously, couldn't it be just what it was. It croaked, it finished, the end? Who knows?
It's a cry for help from nature...we are ignoring the cries of help because we don't care...however you cared enough to pray and THAT is why the croaking stopped..you cared! ignore the whispers and deserve the screams
You need a new fan belt.
it means u got Ribititis LOL ribit ribit ribit
Perhaps it stopped when it finally got the toad off its throat.
Hoodoo?? Do you believe in portents? Omens?

I googled it, this is what I found

*a frog that croaks in middle of the day means rain is due,*

goalie from Denmark Frederik Andersen turned aside
32 consecutive Phantoms' shots on his way to his
second career shutout as the Norfolk Admirals
defeated Adirondack 3-0 on Wednesday night at
Scope Arena.
Norfolk pulled off the victory in the last meeting
of the season between the two teams as Adirondack
fell just shy of sweeping the regular-season series
over the Anaheim Ducks affiliate. The Phantoms
won the series over Norfolk 3-1.
It's the first time Adirondack has been shutout
in almost a month. The game was the sixth out
of seven straight on the road for the Phantoms
who make a long bus-ride overnight back to Glens
Falls after this one as they prepare for their
road-trip finale on Saturday at Connecticut. The
Phantoms are 2-3-1 on the road-trip so far with
one game remaining.
Adirondack trailed 2-0 in the third period and
were continuing to get their attack going at Andersen.
On a rebound in front, Marcel Noebels somehow
barely missed an open net with a chip upstairs.
And just a couple seconds later Jason Akeson was
able to beat Andersen on his big blast from the
left circle but it rang off the iron behind Andersen's
right shoulder and stayed out.
Patrick Maroon had a pair of solid assists against
his former team to help the Admirals attack.
Veteran Kyle Wilson's seventh goal of the year
would come six minutes into the game off a couple
of rebounds in the Adirondack zone. And Devante
Smith-Pelley snuck one past Munroe for his ninth
of the year after a strong centering-pass from
the end-boards by Maroon.
Norfolk had the early advantage in the game and
out-shot the Phantoms 21-8 in the first period
but Adirondack was able to stay close.
The Phantoms had three power plays in the second
period as they were able to turn things around
and try to gain some momentum. But Adirondack
was not able to capitalize on their opportunities.
After the narrow misses by Adirondack on their
third-period power play, Norfolk was able to salt
the game away with a late third-period tally by
rookie Sami Vatanen from the right-ring on another
assist by Maroon for the 3-0 final.
Norfolk out-shot the Phantoms in the game 48-31.
It's the second-most shots allowed in a game by
Adirondack this year and the most since October
27, 2012 when they surrendered 51 shots on goal
against Rochester.
The Phantoms were 0-for-4 on the power play while
the Admirals finished 0-for-6.
Brandon Manning missed his second straight game
with a lower-body injury. Jon Sim was a healthy
scratch and was replaced in the lineup by David
Laliberte. Other scratches included Derek Mathers,
who just joined the team last night from Peterborough
of the OHL, as well as Ian Slater and Jeff Dimmen.
Adirondack travels to Hartford for a Saturday
night game against the Whale to complete their
7-game roadie in which they logged over 2,200
miles. The Phantoms play their first home game
in 15 days this Sunday afternoon at 3:00 against
the Portland Pirates on a Sunday Family 3-Pack
Game ($43 for 3 tickets, 3 hot dogs, 3 sodas,
1 large popcorn, 1 program). Bring your skates

players after the game presented by Glens Falls

BBC Radio 1Xtra's Stories - Gone Too Soon
It's a name you might not recognise - but you'll certainly know his music… James Dewitt Yancey, Jay Dee or more commonly known as J Dilla, is one of hip hop's most influential producers and artists, but his genius was cut short at 32 after battling the incurable blood disease, lupus.
As part of the Gone Too Soon series, Benji B presents this 1Xtra story celebrating the incredible music J Dilla created during his lifetime which includes tracks for Janet Jackson, Busta Rhymes, Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, The Pharcyde and De La Soul to name but a few.
Through interviews with Plug 2 from De La Soul, Mos Def, Questlove from The Roots, Common, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, J.Rocc, Slum Village members T3 and Wajeed, his brother Illa J and his incredible mum, Ma Dukes, we learn about how he made those beats, what he was like as a person and the legacy he left behind. Benji also pays his own tribute to the man he knew for almost ten years and is his favourite producer of all time.
Cocaine 80s - "Not No More"…off the Ghost Lady EP.
Recently Common shot a video for his upcoming single during a trip to Haiti. The track "Sweet" will be released under the upcoming LP The Dreamer, The Believer. If this LP is anything like…
Don't sleep on this. #Cocaine80s.
@goodreverenddr recaps:
I recorded this on a tape recorder. Mos & Common freestyle an entire song called "Life is Good" with his band A Black Girl Named Becky. Fast Forward, ended up meeting Dilla (R.I.P), Bob Power, Common & Jaguar Wright at Electric Lady one night and she made him listen to this. I think he used the verse for the intro on Like Water For Chocolate.

In the year since Microsoft launched Kinect for Xbox 360, the device has been adopted for a number of non-gaming uses, many of them in the healthcare field
For the elderly, a fall is never just a fall: Marilyn Rantz's 80-year-old mother fell and broke her shoulder, and died within six months.
"Falls lead to functional issues and other health problems, and can be a precursor to mortality," said Rantz, a University of Missouri nursing professor. "My mom was a pretty classic case. It's an age-old problem of aging. So much spins on this particular issue." But what if technology could help prevent falls, and in some cases even prolong lives?
Rantz and her colleagues at the University of Missouri are researching just that, using Microsoft's Kinect for Xbox 360 to measure and monitor subtle changes in the gait and movement of older people.
Using technology to measure the way people walk more completely and daily, rather than at bi-yearly doctor's appointments, can give healthcare professionals a chance to intervene sooner.
Helping older people is just one of a growing number of healthcare applications for Kinect.
Doctors are using Kinect to help stroke patients regain movement. Surgeons are using it to access information without leaving the operating room and, in the process, sacrificing sterility. Healthcare workers are even using it to help with physical therapy and children with developmental disabilities or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
"What we know about here at Microsoft is but a tiny fraction of what is actually going on," said Bill Crounse, a medical doctor and Microsoft's senior director of worldwide health, referring to medical uses of Kinect.
"Everywhere I go in the world – every hospital, college or public health organisation, people are already doing something with Kinect or they plan to." Launched a year ago as a controller-free gaming device for Xbox, Kinect sold a world-record eight million devices in its first 60 days on the market.
This made it the fastest-selling consumer electronics device in history, according to Guinness World Records.
Even as Kinect was enjoying unprecedented consumer success, the device was taking on another life of its own outside the living room as scientists, tinkerers, educators, hobbyists and healthcare workers started dreaming up and creating nongaming applications for the device.
Keen on encouraging the fast-growing wealth of non-gaming applications that have sprung up for Kinect, Microsoft released an academic and enthusiast software development kit for non-commercial projects last June and will release a similar kit for commercial uses.
Thus, the genesis of the so-called "Kinect effect" – a term coined in the hallways and conference rooms of Microsoft to describe the device's increasingly widespread appeal and diversity of uses.
At the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading stroke patients are using Kinect for Xbox 360 as part of their rehabilitation. Doctors assign patients to play different Kinect games, depending on what kind of rehabilitation they have to do.
One patient who didn't have much arm movement played Kinectimals, a game in which wild cats respond to being petted.
"The patient thought it was marvellous and we could actually see an improvement occurring, rather than the normal stretching and pulling a physiotherapist would do to the patient," said Malcolm Sperrin, director of medical physics at the hospital.
Another patient had problems with standing and full-body movement.
"We had him bowling," Sperrin said. "He was able to work on coordination between the twisting of his body and the movement of his hands, plus his eyes had to look at the screen rather than where his hands are. It's been enormously beneficial to him." Sperrin said Kinect is helping patients at the hospital, but also after they leave, explaining that many of them are using Kinect to continue their rehabilitation at home.
"It's worked extremely well," Sperrin said. "One of the reasons we like the way its developed, first of all it works for us off the shelf with no modifications at all, but it's also good fun so people can take it home and continue their work with family and friends and of course children – everyone can help with this selfdirected improvement." Though the hospital's neurological rehabilitation team has had success with the consumer version of Kinect, Sperrin said he and his team are busy brainstorming ways the device can be adapted and developed more specifically for stroke rehabilitation.
Microsoft's Crounse said the so-called Kinect effect in the device's first year on the market is but a glimmer of what's to come, especially when it comes to healthcare. As Microsoft continues to deepen Kinect's technology, partners, researchers and even businesses will continue to find ways to adapt it for a veritable universe of healthcarerelated uses.
"The Kinect effect barely describes it. It's like the Kinect explosion," Crounse said. "In my decade at Microsoft I have never seen anything that we are doing generate as much excitement in the consumer community, nor have I seen such excitement in the clinical and research communities as I have about Kinect and how this technology can be applied in health and healthcare."

"Bullshit Love" by Scott Rudd
from Lonely Life, self-released in 2010
I chose "Bullshit Love" because it stuck out so prominently as the single track most noticeably different from the rest of the album. Singles of this nature are often the most fun to present as introductions to a new artist, purely because they direct the mind in one direction, only to be more significantly shifted upon experiencing the entire record; it's a misdirection, a (slightly-misleading) fragment removed from context, which creates expectations that are often defied. In this particular case, the "payoff" from the record as a whole is incredible; Lonely Life is a gorgeous piece, one that deserves patience and solitary listening. Scott Rudd is a New York musician (often boxed into that city's anti-folk movement), and its exactly there that I imagine myself when I listen to this record: in Alphabet City, wandering on a grey, delving day, alone in search of something intangible; lonely in a crowd of millions.
When asked about the song, Scott answered with what felt like common sense: "At the time I had just gotten out of a long term relationship and I had a lot of things floating around in my head. I think that song is really just about my frustrations with looking for love, finding love and losing love."
Scott Rudd is also a photographer whose work I admire (LOOK).
Here's a collection of demos he recorded in 2011:
He also emerged for the first time this year to release a new single last month:
Two Gallants: Holga Portraits
(click the frame for the continued gallery)
Two Gallants
Hi-Dive 9.2.11
Holga 120N w/ Flash
T-max 400
This show contends to be the best of the year for me. The fact that I got so many clear frames is a near miracle; the crowd was far and away the rowdiest I've ever seen at the Hi-Dive, reminiscent of a good crust punk house show. This entire roll was shot from the hip as a war swelled on either side of me.
Also, for clarification, that is in fact the set-list written in sharpie on the back of Adam Haworth Stephens' hand. I think that frame would make a perfect album cover (and it's already square).
For continued clarification, read our Field Report.

Nope Fun Interview
""I was born in a city and raised in a swamp. I've been homeless in The North, fed and laid to bed in The South. I exhausted that eastern coast and couldn't stand to rot with it anymore, so I am now making that great American movement west. As of this paragraph, I am in Colorado; I am no longer homeless; I am still hungry. I often forget the places I've met and the people I've been, so I sometimes keep a plastic camera in my pocket."-his (my) writeup"
I recently did an interview with Nope Fun and it was published today. I'm actually a little disappointed with the selection of photographs chosen but what can I say? I took and published the fucking things online, so, in the end, that's my own fault. Regardless, here it is: Z. SAINT JAMES on NOPE FUN

1. Smash the garlic cloves, the salt and pepper together with a knife (or mortar and pestle) into a fine paste. Mix with the olive oil until emulsified.
2. Trim and season the chicken. Trim any excess skin/fat. Using your fingers, rub the garlic paste over all the chicken, carefully lifting the skin from the meat in order to rub the paste under the skin (without detaching the skin fully). Transfer the chicken to a zip lock bag or baking dish to marinate. Cover and refrigerate, ideally for 4-24 hours.
3. Set the oven to 450 (425 convection) and let the chicken stand at room temperature while the oven heats up.
4. Slice the lemons to get 8 slices (discard the end pieces). Arrange the lemon slices about 2 inches apart on a heavy duty rimmed baking sheet. Top each slice with a sprig of herb and then set a piece of chicken on top. Roast for 30-40 minutes until done (180-190 degrees by instant-read thermometer).
If you want, use a spatula to scoop up the lemon/herb/chicken and transfer to plates. You may want to use the pan juices to drizzle over the chicken. If so, skim any fat off the top first.

There you have it...
A bit dark in here, so can't capture the grain well. It looks better in person.
Design allows for easier separation of knives from magnetic strip, while maximizing magnetic hold on the surface. Recessed mounting hardware allows for a flush-mount. Magnets are completely sealed inside.
Overall, I like this design much better over the prototypes I have made before.
Attachment 13961
Attachment 13960
WOW, very nice!
Does it come in 18-19"?
Sign me up pls...
This one is 16.75" (16" of magnetic surface). It's all I had on hand for walnut, but I just purchased more, and subsequent ones will be 18" and 24". I won't make them smaller.
You will have to take my word for it - it looks much better in person than on the pics.
I'm sold.
Just need to find the right place for one.
The wide chamfers also highlight grain in 3D, so I have some walnut as well as highly figured maple in mind for the next few.
Love it, particularly the chamfer. That really sets the piece off. Nice job Marko.
Very nice!
Wouldn't changing the orientation of the fasteners to vertical make more sense? I'd be worried that the strip might work it's way sideways and fall down.
it shouldn't matter, as it has to be mount flush (working on a solution), either vertical or horizontal mount. I decided to keep this prototype, so I am going to give it a thought once I mount it and see how it works out.
Magnetic strips will be available in the store shortly. A typical lengh will be 18 or 24". If I have a particularly nice piece of wood, I will make it in a different lengh (12-24").
These will be made on ongoing basis, but it is possible that I won't have one ready to ship when order is placed. The wait time is up one week.
Same as with my knives, strips will come with 7 days return policy, as long as they come back in same condition as received.
Lastly, higher price reflects cost of materials, time and labor. These are more complex than Mag-Bloks and the price reflects that.

Vehicle drivers that work as engineers are likely in order to enter fewer incidents. Why? That will be actually funny in order to suppose concerning the reasons (pocket guards-- need we state more?) The car insurance firms do not certainly care concerning that. All they learn is that, actually, designers are a low danger. Because there is actually less possibility that they will cover their autos around the trunk of a steed chestnut plant, they require designers much less for car insurance. Simple. You claim you are actually an instructor rather of a designer? You might still be in good fortune. There might be markdowns suitable for teachers. You never learn unless you talk to-- and unless you look around. Not all car insurance firms coincide. 2. Expert Organizations as well as Automobile Clubs. Possess you previously been about to pay $96 for a hotel area, merely to uncover that a AAA markdown conserves you 25 percent? Today you are actually paying $74 and experiencing pleased with yourself. Thats identical in the car insurance company. Connection with AAA - as well as certain other expert companies - will reduce your costs. You ought to get in touch with your employer in order to observe if there are actually any group car insurance fees. All at once try examining straight with the car insurance company rep when you find out regarding the cost of policies. 3. Blended as well as Renewal Discounts. A big resource of savings is actually in order to cover your cars with the exact same provider that protects your house. Be sure you inquire if blended protection is actually available. This will certainly lower your repayments on your car insurance and make your property owners policy less expensive as well. This is actually also necessary in order to make certain you are actually buying a "revival" price cut that numerous car insurance business offer. This is a price cut offered to people which have actually been with the exact same car insurance company for a lengthy time period. If you have actually lugged insurance coverage with a firm for a few yrs, and not possessed a mishap, your car insurance firm likes you. Think concerning it. You spent them a good deal of funds as well as they really did not possess to do just about anything except send you expenses as well as cash your inspections. Accurate, they prepared to accomplish one thing if you got inside a mishap. You didnt obtain into an accident so they are actually happy and also desire to continue their connection with you. A renewal price cut is actually a great motivation in order to recommend you to return. As well as it is actually a good cause for you in order to choose all of them. 4. Discount rates for Automotive Security Elements. Auto security functions will certainly additionally lower your payments. Moving the selection of funds saving safety attributes is actually anti - padlock brakes. Certain large towns - like San Antonio, Phoenix - motivate drivers to purchase autos with anti latch brakes by calling for insurance providers to handed markdowns. Examine to observe if you reside in such a state, or if the insurance business you are taking into consideration offers a markdown for this feature. Automatic seat belts as well as airbags are actually likewise routinely rewarded with car insurance discounts. 5. Think Even more Hazard. Two highly effective means in order to carry your insurance coverage down is to assume a greater danger. This is finished a couple of techniques. The best dramatic decrease can be discovered through falling your wreck insurance policy on a much older car. If the automobile deserves less compared to $1493, youll most likely invest even more covering this than it deserves. The entire suggestion of steering a much older vehicle is actually to conserve cash, so why not get just what is actually concerning you? An additional technique to revamp your policy - and also rescue funds in the procedure - is in order to request a higher deductible. The deductible is actually the volume of money you must pay out prior to your car insurance business begins paying the rest. In additional terms, you spend for the little bit of dings as well as bumps as well as allow your car insurance provider purchase the massive blows. An usual deductible quantity is actually $790. This means if an incident you find yourself in reasons $1833 well worth of damages, you reward $574 and the car insurance firm rewards $1684. You could, nevertheless, specify your deductible in order to $1584. This still covers you from massive losses, however that may lower your month to month fee by as long as 44 per-cent. As a last note, if you are being suffocated by high car insurance prices, continue this in consciousness when you go auto buying following moment. The more expensive as well as higher-performance the automobile is actually, the greater the superior will certainly be. This is actually specifically real of automobiles that are routinely taken, or are pricey to restore. The insurance policy business continues this in mind when setting its car insurance rates suitable for this motor vehicle. Look for an inconspicuous vehicle as well as get your begins various other means. Youll enjoy the financial savings youll see on your car insurance.

Rio Rancho Cyber Acd School Reviews
This school has been just the setting my son whom has ADD needed. He was very distracted at the traditional public school. Rio Rancho Cyber Academy provides instruction at this school two days a week with the rest of instruction taking place online at home. I have found the teaching style and curriculum have proven to help my son learn at his own pace without distractions. One of the things I have found very helpful with this school is you can access your child's grades and progress daily.
I don't believe Rio Rancho Cyber Academy is suited for every child. If your child has any trouble working independently this may not be the school for them. Also, some children and parents may find the schedule and lack of student interaction somewhat isolating. As for my child, the anxiety and distractions have been eliminated and he is thriving at this school.
If this is the experience your child needs and prefers Rio Rancho Cyber Academy is a wonderful school. I feel so lucky to have this option available to my child.

text: Imagine, It is around twelve midnight, you and your best friend Harry decided to stay in for the night at his flat since it is chilly and raining. You have a couple of drinks together while laughing and reminiscing about old times when you were awkward immature teens who didn't have a clue. Your friendship has spanned over the course of five years way before he was the famous Harry Styles from One Direction he was just the cute and funny curly haired boy you met at the local bakery.You have always had a slight crush on Harry but your friendship has never crossed the line once even though you have had fantasies about what it would be like to have hot and intense sex with Harry. His skin pressed against yours, his hands roaming your body, his lips on every inch of you have all been something you have wanted to enjoy but you value your strong friendship and you never wanted to risk losing it. You both are slightly intoxicated after a few rounds of beer when Harry makes a suggestion."How about we play truth or dare." he says with a devilish grin." "How the hell are we going to play truth or dare with only us two." You reply while jokingly nudging his shoulder." "It will be fun you'll see, it will be a way for us to get to know each other a little better. "Styles, I think I know everything about you by now." " So you think, now come on let's play…." He gives you that cheeky grin and you can't help but give into him."Okay Styles I'll play but I'm going first." You take another sip of beer before asking "Truth or Dare." "Well I'll play it a little safe for my first turn so truth. You take this opportunity to ask the burning question that has been on your mind for years. "During our friendship have you ever thought of me as more than just one of your best mates. "Let me see." He begins rubbing his chin sarcastically as if he is in deep thought. "I think you know the answer to this one, of course I have I mean look at you, you're gorgeous, smart, and you have been there for me way before the fame and success." "I would be lying if I said I never thought we would end up together in the near future." You begin to blush as Harry wraps one of his arms around your waist pulling you closer to him eliminating the distance between the both of you. " Now it's your turn love truth or dare." " I want a dare." Harry inches closer to you and begins kissing your neck gently causing shivers to run down your spine. "I dare you to allow me to take all of your clothes off and let me please you in ways I know you haven't been pleased before," he says while he continues to nibble around your neck. Before you could even say a word his mouth was on yours silencing you completely. His tender kiss felt heavenly as his tongue explored your mouth while his hand found its way up your thigh. You lifted your arms allowing him to take his shirt that you were wearing off of you. He lays you down on the couch and begins kissing and sucking your breasts, giving each one them the proper amount of attention. He continues kissing down your stomach as your hands run through his curls. He removes your shorts and panties eagerly before his mouth is on your most intimate place. His long tongue glides in and out of you caressing the right spots causing you to bite your bottom lip from the incredible feeling. He kisses your inner thighs before stripping down to nothing. His body is absolute perfection and you can't believe it took so long for you to finally have him. He places his tip inside you, teasing you at first wanting your body to yearn for him. As you squirm he finally slides his entire length inside you filling you. You let out a loud moan before Harry silences you with his lips. He kisses you passionately and deeply as he begins to thrust in and out of you. His thrusts become more powerful and rhythmic causing you to dig your nails in his back from the intensity. He wraps your legs around his waist so he can go even deeper causing both of you to moan as the sweat glistens your bodies. You both finally climax after two hours of pure bliss and Harry collapses beside you and his hand holds yours. He kisses your lips gently and a huge smile makes its way across his gorgeous face. "I have another dare for you babe." " Well what could this one be." You reply as you plant a kiss on his chest. "I dare you to allow me to make you mine and to make you happier than you have ever been." You smile as you look into his gorgeous green eyes, "I accept, only if you allow us to continue this upstairs in the bedroom." He kisses you and carries you upstairs to the bedroom for round two. This was definitely the best truth or dare you have ever played.

You say, "I don't even *like* Southern food normally and I love their food (even though it is VERY Southern). Pecan cheddar biscuits… fried green tomatoes… those are my favorite items there. It's a bit of a drive, but it is worth it."

3) John Boy's
1) MGR Palace
We say "It's no surprise that one of the Atlanta area's best Indian restaurants also has one of the best lunch buffets around."

i think the assignment was "the best buffet," not that you can feed a football team for 25 dollars. The best means you ignore price. For example, the Boston Sea Party, if you like seafood, despite the fact you have to save all week to afford it.

12:45 pm
I always take my bottle of hand sterilizer in with me when eating at a salad bar and use after filling my plate…yes, the handles of the spoons are dirty; just watch folks lick their fingers if they get a drop of food on them! Perhaps establishments will begin to furnish the hand sterilizers on the bars, along with the food!
Best place is still Buckners in Jackson even though the price has gone up. Just a reminder, they do not take credit/debit cards, just cash and checks.
September 6th, 2009
1:12 pm
Ummm, OK Cafe DOES have a buffet- in the Take Away section. That's what it is, a buffet, and it's really good, so chill people. I think the best buffet bar is at Whole Foods Buckhead location- lots of choices and most of it is pretty healthy. (I know, what's the point if it's healthy.)

I just looked back at the top of the page, and sure enough it did say "BEST OF THE BIG A" ! I thougth that meant Atlanta, It did not say, "BEST OF GA".
Forsyth is too far away from Atlanta to qualify, even though Buckners is good.
Macon and Warner Robins is over 100 miles away.
The Blue Willow of Social Circle put a Blue Willow in Macon a few years ago. It was NOT GOOD. It went right out of business.
The Olde Time Country Buffet? KFC? I cannot believe that these folks don't go beyond the Roberta city limits.
You folks out to venture out beyond FAST FOOD!

Green Tomato in Lawrenceville. They make everything from scratch, even their rolls and it is only $6.

Ummmmmmm didn't this article say best in the "A"(ATLANTA!) Some of these places you all are listing are all the way in BFE. I still haven't found a good soul food/southern buffet in the Atlanta Metro area. Gladys Knights has the most consistency with their offerings. Buffet? Hmmmmmm now thats a hard one!
September 6th, 2009
4:24 pm
Well!! The restaurant listed the greatest number of times has been BLUE WILLOW in Social Circle, GA. The food is undescribably delicious. I try to eat healthily, and have eliminated bread items from my diet because of the massive amounts of fat in bread, but I may……..or may not try to pecan crusted biscuits that someone wrote about. Sounds delicious. But what I recommend is the sweet potato souffle……it's sprinkled with CornFlakes and the taste is magnificent. Also, I don't eat chicken, but the fried chicken DID "call my name". I didn't answer the call, but it looked remarkably delicious and I'm told that it is delicious.
As everyone else mentioned, it's a bit of a drive, but truly well worth it. Try it! I think you'll like it
September 6th, 2009
4:27 pm
OK…………….Savannah is not in the Atlanta metro area, but……….MRS WILKES' BOARDING HOUSE!!!!!………there is no place like it, not even Blue Willow…………….Gosh!!!! When I think of the place, my mouth waters………………Didn't think of it initially cuz (again) it's in Savannah, not Atlanta. But when you go to Savannah, do try MRS. WILKES'……………Superb!!!!

I agree with AJ, the Golden Corral on Austell Rd (my mom's favorite spot when she's in town) and Sweet Tomatoes (my daughter's favorite) on Barrett Pkwy in Marietta. At both places, the food is great and the service is impeccable.

Journey's End and Mathews in Tucker. Sarge, take your comments to the Editorial page. Mama Bear, we are judging food here, not kids that need to be chained to a table because parents do not teach manners anymore and a waitress that is fed up with those rug rats. The food is good. Alan, never knew anyone that had that surgery and lived a long time, so good luck to you. Time to eat!
September 6th, 2009
5:37 pm
Coulda sworn the question was about 'ATL area' buffets…not Social Circle, Jackson, Helen, Valdosta, Gainesville, etc. We southerners like to eat…but drive an hour (or more) for a buffet?
And to those who rant about obesity – you weren't invited.
September 6th, 2009

sarge you need to get a life try buffet, you could like it, if you get the the chip off your shoulder. and why do call yourself sarge unless you were a army cook. oh my gosh.

From 11 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week, the best is THE GARDEN PATCH
September 6th, 2009
8:37 pm
The classiest all-you-can eat restaurants include the Blue Willow Inn in Social Circle, the Smith House in Dahlonega, and the Dillard House in Dillard. The food is excellent at all three – worth several days of dieting afterwards to make up for the yummy splurge. And best of all, each of them are surrounded with great sights to make a day excursion! For local, watching the budget but not the waistline, it's the Golden Corral in Alpharetta or Cumming.
September 6th, 2009

I can't believe someone said golden corral. I can open canned veggies and eat better than that dog food.

These fun recipes are intended to give you some quick and easy cooking ideas to try at home. The recipes here are not necessarily examples of what we teach at Tante Marie's Cooking School. We hope you enjoy them!
It is thought that these fun candies were invented sometime in the 1920′s; but no one knows by whom. Anyway, they are fun to make and more fun to eat!
- 4 cups pecans halves
- 2 1/4 cups (1 lb.) sugar
- 3 Tbs. light corn syrup
- few grains of salt
- 1 cup (8 oz./2 sticks) butter, cut in 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup (4 oz.) heavy cream, at room temp.
- 3/4 lb. semisweet chocolate chips
On a slightly oiled smooth surface, such as marble or plastic, place clusters of 5 or 6 pecans.
To make the caramel cook the sugar with a spash of water and the corn syrup over gentle heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Increase the heat, and boil, without stirring, until a caramel (golden) color is reached. Stir in the butter and when it is almost melted add the cream. Continue boiling, stirring occasionally, and insert a candy thermometer. When the temperature reaches 254 degrees, remove from heat and stir until it stops boiling. Place tablespoonful of this mixture on the pecan clusters. Let cool.
Melt the chocolate gently in a bowl over simmering water, or in a double boiler. When smooth, mask each caramel cluster with a spoonful of chocolate (or brush on the chocolate). When cool, store in tins with wax paper in between layers–no need to refrigerate. Makes 42. MSR

There are better places in Mount Pleasant / CharlePosted on 10 / 03 / 2012
My husband and I dined at the Mustard Seed this evening midway through our beach trip at Isle of Palms. We've been dining at restaurants at Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, Mount Pleasant and downtown Charleston. So far we've had some pretty amazing meals! I was pretty disappointed in the Mustard Seed. The vegetarian items on the menu are limited and there are few if any vegan items. I had sweet potato ravioli and I was expecting a sauce but it was served swimming in a watery, white cheesey/creamy soup. It wasn't bad tasting, but it wasn't memorable either. My meat-eating dining companion ordered some type of seafood risotto. He said it was plain and uninspired. He ate a quarter of the bowl and brought home the rest in a box for our dog. She loved it!

Really!! I like Vogy but seriously. Dickey won't be exposed too much. Andy is old. I was hoping for Kershaw (No, really I was), Price, Verlander, and some of those other good pitchers. They should place a rule that says you can't have any SP/RP that have been in the playoffs.
Don't like this at all since the Giants are coming off a long grueling season
Pablo confirmed to be playing for Venezuela as well.

I think everyone agrees this is a negative for all our players participating. Seasons long enough especially after winning a world series.
As long as Bum and Cain aren't pitching I'm happy

You guys are no fun. I want as many Giants as possible in this.
Well it won't be fun in July/August when Vogey's arm falls off because of fatigue and exhaustion.
It is kind of a negative, but this will probably just take the place of Vogelsongs spring training so I doubt it'll impact him too much. I don't think it's a big deal.
For a guy like Vogelsong too this will be his only chance to ever participate in something like this probably. I'm glad he's doing it as he knows better than anyone how quick your career slip away from you. He might as well enjoy every second of his resurgence as it'll all be gone soon.
It's baseball. Not much of a grinding season
we couldn't get anyone better? god damn it Clayton, thanks for dropping the ball, Kobe plays for team USA! I am annoyed at these stars that don't play for team USA, i want Tulo at SS Pedroia at 2nd, Fielder at 1st Posey at Catcher and Trout in the OF, but no were going to be playing back ups (with the exception of wright/stanton/braun)

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The number of people who applied for new unemployment benefits jumped 20,000 to 362,000 in the week ended Feb. 16, the U.S. government said Thursday, keeping claims at a level that suggests slow but steady improvement in the nation's labor market. The increase may have been partly influenced by a federal holiday on Monday - full claims data for four states including California and Virginia were not completed on time and had to be estimated. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected claims to rise to a seasonally adjusted 351,000. The average of new claims over the past month, which smoothes out weekly volatility, rose by 8,000 to 360,750, putting it at the highest level since the first week of the year. Also, Labor said continuing claims increased by 11,000 to a seasonally adjusted 3.15 million in the week ended Feb. 9. Continuing claims reflect the number of people already receiving benefits. Initial claims from two weeks ago, meanwhile, were revised up to 342,000 from an original reading of 341,000, based on more complete data collected at the state level.

I'm digging this GoPro video of a Team Pursuit drill at San Diego Velodrome.
This is actually kind of a cross between a Team Pursuit and a Team Sprint. Two teams start on opposite sides of the track (as in a Team Pursuit) and each rider takes a pull in the front before pulling off of the paceline (as in a Team Sprint). I counted nine riders/laps which would make this a 3 km effort. Nice vid and I like the annotations.

If you're going to invest the time and effort to produce a professional video, the folks at Neilsen have some data that should be of interest. The top two leading U.S. brand websites in 2011 were Google and Facebook. Google captured an amazing 153 million unique visitors a month, while Facebook wasn't far behind at 137 million unique visitors. YouTube was the only video site making the top 10 general brand websites, coming in at number five. But as a video site destination, it still ranked number one with 111 million unique monthly visitors.
Video producers would do well to remember one simple fact: A lot of people search Google, as well as other sites, by entering a simple question, such as "How Can I Avoid Foreclosure." The application here is simple; title your video as close to common questions and phrases as possible. Avoid trying to be cute or mysterious. With over 150 million people seeking information every month, keep it simple and straightforward. The same holds true for YouTube.
Video is also very popular on Facebook, including those pages featuring businesses. In fact, Neilsen ranked it as the number one U.S. social network site for 2011, with nearly four times as many unique monthly visitors as its second place rival, Blogger. If you're posting a Facebook video for commercial purposes, resist the temptation to make it all about you, or your company. Instead, focus on the viewer's needs, providing them with helpful information to address their questions and concerns. And above all, encourage dialogue with and among viewers by asking questions, seeking opinions, and inviting people to share your content with friends.
None of us have the time or resources to post our videos on every possible venue. However, knowing who the top dogs are will help us to structure our content, technique, and scripting for maximum impact.

office shopper from Ohio
I had specific needs to meet, a short under the counter file cabinet that could lock to store patient folders being just over 12 and 1/8 inches long. The average file drawer was not wide enough. After many web hunts this popped up - [...] I am told the folders fit front to back and there is room to spare under the counter. Very pleased -

Bringing the funk to Big Moon Rising
The Family Stone began touring a few years ago as quasi-tribute band quasi-Sly and the Family Stone reunion band. The Family Stone boasts three original members from Sly and the Family Stone including saxophonist Jerry Martini, aka Papa J, drummer Greg Errico, and trumpeter Cynthia Robinson. Needless to say this is more than your average funk band this is rock greatness coming to Big Sky Resort.
In 1969, Sly and the Family Stone played perhaps their most memorable show at Woodstock in Bethel, New York. A band as vital to rock history as The Family Stone deserves more than just a little praise as they promise to bring the funk and fun this weekend and preserve that memorable psychedelic funk sound. And that's just Saturday night at Big Sky Resort's inaugural Big Moon Rising Music Festival August 29-30.
Friday night promises just as much funk and improve as Saturday with New Orleans' best funk band Dumpstaphunk.
"Dumpstaphunk has grown from a small side project into one of New Orleans' most prestigious modern funk ensembles," said Benjy Eisen of Rolling Stone in the late-May 2013 issue. This is no ordinary funk band, but a 5-piece blues, soul, and rock ensemble that attacks and entertains. If Rolling Stone's street cred isn't enough, The New York Times called Dumpstaphunk the best funk band from New Orleans. Enough said.
Following the main acts at Big Moon Rising will be after parties at Whiskey Jack's featuring Cure for the Common on Friday night and Andrew Gromiller and the Organically Grown on Saturday.
Opening acts include more jazz and funk with multi-instrumentalist Keller Williams and Bozeman's own Andrew Gromiller. It's a weekend not to be missed.
Purchase single day and weekend tickets for Big Moon Rising Music Festival here.

Vine & Dine 2014 at Big Sky Resort featured more than 30 wineries, delicious food from a dozen amazing chefs, including Google's Global Program chef Scott Giambastiani, and music from jazz extraordinaire's Anna Wilson with Jazz Your Azz Band and McTuff. The weekend was also full of amazing wine education from sommeliers Fred Dame and Jay Fletcher. Take a look at the photo highlights from luncheons, tastings, and The Wine Stroll. Join us next year for Vine & Dine on August 13-16, 2015.

A Big Sky Tour-de-food
Walking into the Jack Creek Grille at Big Sky Resort, the first thing you'll probably notice is the amazing views. Like dining in the company of Lone Peak, the towering north side of Big Sky's signature mountain lays before you almost within reach. And if you're lucky enough to be there around the sunset hour, the alpenglow will most likely be as entertaining as the friends or family that you're dining with.
But views aside, dining is really why you're there, right? Located in the Moonlight Lodge, Jack Creek Grille has a comfortable lodgey atmosphere with a touch of elegance thrown into the mix, and the cuisine follows suit. The well-thought out menu features classic go-to items-burgers, steaks, chicken and fish-with Montana flair.
"We aim for farm to table type fare," says Executive Chef Bryan Devlin. "We use heirloom grains like hominy and faro, local cheeses and meats, even trout from the nearby Paradise Valley."
For lunch you'll find a bison or Wagyu beef burger made with Montana-raised meats, salads using as much local produce as possible, and fish tacos for a blend of healthy spice. For dinner there's a dryaged bison bone-in ribeye (that tends to fly off the shelves), local trout served with kale, elk served with hearty grits, and duck with caramelized beets, just to name a few. * And the wine list to accompany the meal is equally as intriguing.
The Jack Creek Grille, views and all, are the complete Montana package.
*The menus change with the seasons and available produce.

Vine & Dine Festival: Highlights from an Insider
I've been working on Vine & Dine Festival at Big Sky Resort alongside Steve Merlino, event foodie extraordinaire. The event takes place August 14-17, and it's a smorgasbord of world-renowned chefs, sommeliers, and vineyards. Here are the highlights from one of the organizers, and it's not too late to grab tickets at the door for any of these:
Asado is a traditional Argentinian beef dish cooked on a "parrilla," or campfire grill for us Montanans, and the Thursday night feature event for the inaugural Vine & Dine. Not only is Asado a unique Barbeque experience, but it's close to sold out so stop reading this and get a ticket now. (I'll take this out if I can't post this afternoon, I think Asado is still interesting even though it's sold out).
After Thursday the heat gets hot at Vine & Dine with food from Google's Global Program Chef Scott Giambastiani who will be serving lunch and sharing a little bit about what he calls the "food revolution." As Google may one day take over our entire society (and the world), I suggest this lunch for THE lunch to attend on Friday (ok it's also the ONLY lunch on Friday). Needless to say it's going to be delicious, informative, and I may just ask Giambastiani to autograph my napkin.
Friday also consists of two seminars (remember, this isn't the average sit-in-an-auditorium-and-fall-asleep seminar, but a drink-wine-and-enjoy-life seminar): Tasting the Master's Way and Touring the Italian Countryside. Tasting the Master's Way features World-renowned sommeliers Fred Dame and Jay Fletcher (both featured in Jason Wise's "Somm" documentary which won Best Documentary at San Luis Obispo International Film Festival). Dame and Fletcher will take us on an "entertaining tasting of carefully chosen wines." One seminar with these two and I'm hoping to be able to pass the prestigious Master Sommelier Exam. Kidding! That exam has one of the lowest pass rates of any exam in the world, which means who better to learn wine from than two of the top ranking somms?
A few more things must be mentioned. Friday night featured Vintner dinners all around Big Sky including Lotus Pad, Olive B's, Buck's T-4, and Saturday night features the headline event: The Wine Stroll. The Wine Stroll takes tasters through the Mountain Village at Big Sky Resort and through the vines of Oregon, South America, Washington, and countless other places. If there's only one event to go to, it's The Wine Stroll.
Before The Wine Stroll tasters can take to Lone Mountain and explore the pinots from 11,166 feet or while ziplining through the forest. Then enjoy any number of seminars and lunches such as Cheese & Wine: One Stinky Good Time or Jay Fletcher's Old Vines of Northern Spain. Essentially we've made it so no taster can go wrong at any of these events.
Last, and certainly the least amount of wine, is Sunday's "Where's the Wine" Brunch, featuring bellinis, mimosas, and Bloody Marys, and, ok, wine.
I'll be enjoying Vine & Dine all weekend, join me for wine and food from around the world.

The Rut Ultramarathon: One Foot in front of the other
Imagine running a marathon that takes you up, around, and over the top of scree-encrusted Lone Peak, gaining and losing approximately 10,000 feet in elevation. Now tack on about 5 more miles. That in a nutshell is The Rut 50K-an ultra-marathon on the brink of becoming the biggest deal in Sky Running in the United States and, at least to some extent, the world.
To clarify, an ultra-race is any race longer than marathon length, or 26.2 miles. The shortest established ultrarace is 50 kilometers, or approximately 31 miles, but many ultra-marathons are 100 miles or more. Sky running, in its simplest definition, is running distance plus vertical, or long runs over mountainous terrain. The Rut, organized by The Runners Edge in Missoula, began in 2013 as the brainchild of race directors and international mountain runners, Mike Foote and Mike Wolfe. "The two Mikes" as they are known throughout the circuit, are both members of the North Face Ultra Running Team. Inspired by the steeper, more technical courses they've competed in throughout the European Alps, they wanted to bring that level of world-class racing to the U.S. and more specifically, to their Montana backyard.
On September 14, 2013, when the inaugural Rut 50K and 12K went off like a ski boot at 4:00am at Big Sky Resort, it got the attention of the International Skyrunning Federation. They chose The Rut 50K as the site of the 2014 Skyrunner World Series (SWS) Ultra Final. The SWS is a group of races taking place in the mountains of Spain, Italy, Switzerland, France, and now the United States. As race organizer Mike Foote explains, "You don't have to run all the races [in the SWS], but since The Rut 50K is the final, you get double the points, so most of the serious competitors will be here. We're expecting a bunch of international elite trail running athletes." One of those much anticipated athletes is Sky Runner Kilian Jornet, whom National Geographic named the 2014
People's Choice Adventurer of the Year.
"The course is one of the biggest draws of the event," says Foote. "The 50K is extremely technical. There's runnable
single track, but there's also lots of knife-edged ridgelines." The most attention-grabbing section takes runners up and over Lone Peak via Bone Crusher Ridge. The climb gains 2,000 feet in elevation in about a mile and a half of highly exposed terrain, to the iconic 11,166 ft. summit.
"It's just unbelievable up there," says Foote. "That part of the course is more than a race. It's an adventure."
The question The Rut asks us all, on some level, is do I have it in me? Do I have that kind of mental game? To put one foot in front of the other, over rocky, mountainous terrain, for 31 miles?

Sumptous Black & Natural Herringbone Alpaca (Made in USA) - LIMITED STOCKThis classic natural and black herringbone fabric is special, as it is made from the fleece of a delightful Alpaca named Lexus (or maybe from one of her herd-mates!) Alpaca is a soft, lustrous fiber that is warmer and lighter than wool, and is so soft it can be worn next to your skin. Alpaca is also hypo-allergenic and has the ability to wick away moisture. This would make a spectacular unstructured jacket, or tailored waistcoat for fall. Made in the USA. 100% alpaca. 45" wide. LIMITED STOCK$225.99
Black & Winter White Tweed Wool Coating (Made in Italy)A midweight tweed wool coating, with a cozy hand and classic black and winter white coloration. This wool tweed is perfect for a louche literary blazer -- bring on the woven leather buttons and suede elbow patches! Made in Italy. 100% wool. 58" wide.$59.99
