What America Really Needs to Hear
Shortly after President Bush's State of the Union address last week Jim Webb, the freshman Senator from Virginia, delivered the Democrats' televised response to Bush's annual speech. Many antiwar progressives were pleased to hear a Democrat confront the Bush rhetoric head-on. Media critic Jeff Cohen went even further and argued that Webb's riposte was not only aimed at the Bush administration, but also at Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
"Whether intended or not," wrote Cohen, "Webb was offering a way for Democrats to win elections — a script for any presidential candidate who wants to distinguish him or herself in the primaries, and then defeat the Republicans in Nov. 2008."
Cohen and I must have been watching different programs. Sen. Webb's position on the Iraq war was little more than a sugarcoated pill packed full of the usual irony. Webb painted the situation in Iraq as a result of Bush's poor planning and not the more obvious illegalities and lies that drove our country into battle. As Webb put it, "We are now, as a nation, held hostage to the predictable — and predicted — disarray that has followed."
Never once did we hear Webb utter the bitter truth about the Iraq crisis. Certainly the invasion and subsequent occupation were not "mismanaged" as Webb and many others have put it, rather the civil war now engulfing Iraq is a result of a criminal performance carried out by President Bush that was enabled and encouraged by the leaders of the Democratic Party dating back to President Clinton.
Webb also did not express any significant criticisms of the "war on terror" as he seems to believe in its underlying premise. Consequently he did not mention that he disagrees with the increase of troops in Afghanistan or the recent air strikes of suspected terrorist cells in Somali. And despite his anger at Bush's reckless mismanagement of Iraq, he didn't dare bring up that all but forgotten subject: impeachment.
Webb also noted that he was opposed to "a precipitous withdrawal that ignores the possibility of further chaos" and instead called for a "strong regionally-based diplomacy, a policy that takes our soldiers off the streets of Iraq's cities, and a formula that will in short order allow our combat forces to leave Iraq." In essence Webb doesn't believe U.S. troops should leave Iraq at once. We may as well call that just more of the same. All talk, no action.
And this is the type of winning formula Jeff Cohen believes the Democratic presidential candidates should use to distinguish themselves from Republicans? Right now the most visible and articulate antiwar senator is Republican Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. If anything, Democratic presidential hopefuls and others should take a cue from Hagel on Iraq, not Webb. In a recent interview in GQ, Hagel went as far as to say that what's going on in Iraq is "even worse than a civil war, because in addition to the sectarian violence, you've got Shia killing Shia. We have ethnic cleansing of major proportions going on in Baghdad."
Enough with the nonsense. Senator Hagel's straight talk is what the American public really needs to hear.

According to numerous reports yesterday, it appears that there was some kind of BlackBerry outage. The outage lasted from about 6:30pm EST yesterday, and lasted until 2am this morning. RIM said the outage affected 18% of RIM BIS 2.x customers. This is really unacceptable for RIM. Perhaps it's just growing pains but if this keeps up, they're going to make a lot of people very, very frustrated.

BJP hails Jan-Dhan Yojana, says bank accounts now for everybody
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hailed the Jan-Dhan Yojana, which would be officially launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday
"There are a lot of people in this country who don't have bank accounts. This scheme will see the 'jan ka dhan' (wealth of the people) come in. This scheme will be for everybody - the 'aam aadmi' (ordinary man), the poor, the people living below the poverty line, urban citizens, rural citizens - we want everybody to have a bank account," BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain told ANI here.
Hussain further said this scheme has been very successful so far.
"Accounts are being opened at a record pace, with over one crore accounts opened already," he added.
Hussain also referred to this scheme as the foundation for corrupt-free governance.
"The money through government schemes that used to be given to people without bank accounts used to, in many instances, go missing. This will no longer happen. This is the foundation for corrupt-free governance," said Hussain.
"We are setting up camps at many places, and apart from public sector banks, even private banks are helping us with this scheme. From now on, the people will be given money straight into their accounts and will also be given insurance, as well as a credit of Rs 5,000. The bank is not only for the 'haves', it is for everybody," he added.
Prime Minister Modi will be officially launching the Jan-Dhan Yojana later today.

Brunnstrom chooses Stars over Red Wings, other teams
Updated: May 8, 2008, 7:15 PM ETAssociated Press
DETROIT -- The Dallas Stars beat the Detroit Red Wings in a competition before the first puck dropped Thursday night in the Western Conference finals.
Swedish prospect Fabian Brunnstrom has agreed to sign with Dallas over the Red Wings and other NHL suitors.
The 23-year-old forward starred in the Swedish Elite League last season and was regarded as one of the top free agents available.
Detroit general manager Ken Holland -- who has stockpiled stars from Sweden such as Nicklas Lidstrom, Tomas Holmstrom and Johan Franzen -- said Thursday that Brunnstrom informed the Red Wings he would not be signing with them.

Enterprise Hadoop: Big data processing made easier
Amazon, Cloudera, Hortonworks, IBM, and MapR mix simpler setup of Hadoop clusters with proprietary twists and trade-offs
It's been a big year for Apache Hadoop, the open source project that helps you split your workload among a rack of computers. The buzzword is now well known to your boss but still just a vague and hazy concept for your boss's boss. That puts it in the sweet spot when there's plenty of room for experimentation. The list of companies using Hadoop in production work grows longer each day, and it probably won't be long before "Hadoop cluster" takes over the role that the words "crazy supercomputer" used to play in thriller movies. The next version of the WOPR is bound to run Hadoop.
The area is flourishing as the core project attracts a wide collection of helper projects that organize the workload and make it simpler to manage a collection of jobs to run at particular times. There's HDFS, a standard file system that can organize the data spread out around the cluster; Hive, a data warehousing layer for making sense of this data; Mahout, a collection of routines for trying to learn something from said data; and ZooKeeper, a tool for keeping all of the balls in the air. At least a half-dozen or more other open source tools live in a stable orbit around Hadoop.

The open source projects are just the beginning -- a surprisingly large number of companies are emerging with the plan of helping people actually use Hadoop. Some are just selling support, and others are building their own tools that sit alongside Hadoop and make it easier to use.
This kind of competition is usually seen as open source at its best. There is a core collection of packages that serve like a standard to keep everyone in synchrony. Each of the groups is competing to add the right sauce that will attract customers, both paying and nonpaying. There continues to be controversy over just how much is rolled into the central collection, as there can be in any major open source project, but the amount of experimentation is so large that it's hard to be too focused on the amount of sharing.
To get a feel for the excitement, I took four major collections out for a test-drive. I powered up a cluster of nodes on Rackspace, installed the tools, pushed the buttons, and ran some sample jobs. It's getting to be surprisingly easy to spend a few pennies for an hour or two of machine time -- so much so that I found myself debating whether it was worth leaving my cluster idling over lunchtime. Lest anyone doubt the efficiency of cloud computing, I noticed that the rate for my cluster of relatively fat machines with 4GB of RAM was less than the cost to park a car around the corner. The parking meters spin faster.
The not-so-good news is that these collections are far from perfect. None of the tools I tried worked exactly as promised. There were always small glitches. I often found myself reading the log files and paging through endless lists of Java stack dumps. (Someone is going to have to apply Hadoop to analyzing the endless stack dumps. They're getting so involved that I doubt a single machine will be able to parse them for much longer.) After a few seconds, I could usually get things on track again. These tools may not require someone with much experience to use once they're running, but they can't be installed unless you're fairly adept with the ways that the Java stack is organized.
Despite these impediments, I spent most of my time churning through data. The good news is that all of these tools make it pretty easy to get a cluster of computers working together to solve problems. Using these tools is much easier than downloading and configuring the source code yourself. They're designed to be one-button applications, and they come close to achieving that goal.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! Why so happy? Well, the Broncos didn't give up 59 points yesterday. Plus, I'm not a Cowboys fan. 1-5 with SB aspirations and our quarterback is done for the year? Yes, things could be worse for Broncos fans. Obviously, I agree with the readers who have pointed out the shock value of those opening minutes Sunday, the three plays that virtually decided the game, and with TJ's column on momentum. I have never seen anything like that happen to the Broncos before, not even close. Yet, they've got to be able to stop the run. We knew last week the Raiders would run the ball, and once they got up 21-0 they didn't even need to pass the ball. Is it hard to stop the run without several of your best defensive players? Absolutely. But after a fine performance against the Jets' vaunted rushing attack, there are no excuses for the very same personnel allowing 328 yards on the ground. Robert Ayers is still at least a few weeks away from returning, and it doesn't sound like Brian Dawkins will be back this week, either. So the guys who are actually playing have to come up with a little bit more, because we're looking at Frank Gore this Sunday.
Clearly, today is not a good day to be a Broncos fan. But you knew that. We're all licking our wounds, catching heat from our friends and colleagues. In fact, I even had to get down on my knee and proclaim to a guy I work with that he was right and I was wrong, with an audience of 30 or more watching. That was the bet, and he took the Raiders while I of course took the Broncos. Didn't work out so well for me, and there are cellphone pics to prove it. Beat that, Favruh!
But really, things could be much, much worse for you (and us) as Broncos fans. Let's consider some of the ways…
Note: Each Monday we take a look at a player the Broncos used in a new, creative, or interesting way from the previous day's game. This week we're getting a second plate of not a player, but how momentum affected the Broncos yesterday.
If you've ever played any sport at even the lowest of competitive levels, you've felt the power of momentum.
When the sea of momentum changes against you, it's palpable; you feel it throughout your body. Suddenly, there goes your mind.
Once your mind goes, strange things happen—records are even set in the process.
After reviewing the first three drives on tape last night, I kept returning to this concept of momentum—not on purpose, mind you. I kept wanting to blame specific players. I kept wanting to blame Josh McDaniels. But I kept coming back to momentum.
Not such a good morning, Broncos fans. Gotta refer to them as the Oakland Raiders today - yes, they deserve it. In what may have been the worst loss in regular-season history for Denver, the Raiders beat the Broncos 59-14. Fifty-nine points. In three quarters. I'm actually not sure what is more impressive - a 59 on a golf course or 59 points in three quarters of professional football. After four attempts, the Broncos under Josh McDaniels have yet to win a divisional home game, and the Raiders have now won three straight in Denver. There were no bright spots, so let's get that out of the way. As for the doom and gloom, where to start?
How about injuries? Perrish Cox left with a concussion, Kevin Vickerson re-aggravated his groin injury, Marcus Thomas hurt his right shoulder, and Demaryius Thomas may have injured a thumb. So, nobody had a season-ending injury. That's about as good as the news gets today.
Has there ever been a worse 1st half in Broncos history?
Not in recent memory. Halloween came one week early in Denver.
Before most Broncos fans had a chance to see Tom Cable's frightening haircut on the jumbo screen, they were down 24-0.
The defense ran confused; Kyle Orton threw confused; Josh McDaniels was confused.
But don't confuse them with a playoff contender. In arguably the worst division in football, the Broncos are the cellar zombies of the AFC West. The season is effectively done.
Perhaps the Broncos were thinking about what scary costumes they were going to wear in London next week. So they decided to take an eyepatch from every Raiders player, coach, and fan, and put them on both eyes.
Enjoy the games, and Go Broncos!!!
Good Morning, Broncos fans! We went missing for a few hours, due to some much-needed server maintenance. Please accept our apologies for that, but the upside is that our site is now a heckuva lot faster! You know, Bill Simmons had an excellent point in his mailbag the other day regarding the NFL and player safety. I wish I had pointed it out yesterday, but I'll do so today instead. So, Roger Goodell and the owners he represents are suddenly acting like the health and well-being of their players is actually important to them. Clearly, a good thing. Unfortunately, there were many years of institutional denial that concussions even have any long-term effects before this about-face; years of stonewalling doctors and researchers who actually wanted to get to the true root of things.
It has taken the exceptional and dedicated work of doctors like Bennet Omalu, Ann McKee and Julian Bailes, and of journalists like Peter Keating, Jeanne Marie Laskas (update to her story here), Alan Schwarz and Malcolm Gladwell to break down this wall of silence and denial. The league had a rheumatologist (Dr. Elliot Pellman) heading its committee on concussions, for that group's first two-plus years of existence, for crying out loud. That's rheumatology, the sub-specialty in medicine dedicated to conditions and diseases afflicting the joints, muscles and bones (nothing about the brain or spine).
Here at Fat Man, we think you deserve more than just football analysis.
You deserve a nice meal, too. So in the spirit of food and drink, we present to you our weekly analysis of the upcoming Broncos game and opponent. May you leave a little wiser. And with a full stomach.
This week, we're gonna chow on the Oakland Raiders.
Continue reading "Fat Man's Five-Course Meal, Week 6: Broncos - Raiders"
We've all seen it. The offense lines up in a 113 - one RB, one TE, three WR. Standard OL, shotgun. The X receiver does a stop-and-go fly pattern, the Y receiver does a hitch and the slot receiver breaks to the weakside at 7 yards. The defense was waiting for it. They were in a 3-4, CBs on the primary receivers, SILB on the slot, with help from the safety to his right if the TE tries to block or if the RB comes back far enough to receive a pitch-out. When the slot receiver appeared to be the best option, the FS noticed that the QB, despite untold hours of practice, didn't look him off, as the slot receiver reached out for the ball and it touched his hands. The SILB converged on him and was there in time for the tackle. But the safety had an open shot at an unprotected WR, and although he would later say that he was trying to hit the receiver in the back, the impact of his helmet into the back of the helmet of the receiver caused an entire stadium to go suddenly silent. Neither got up at first, and trainers from both benches grabbed the equipment they wanted to hold the least, and dashed over to the supine bodies of the players. The loss of feeling in the WR's arms and legs brought an immediate application of a device that was little more than a high-tech ice bag, one that would fit the neck, shoulders and down the back. It slows the swelling in cases of spinal bruising, bruising that can bring permanent paralysis. Two carts were ready on the sidelines.
Mid-term elections? Who cares.
Stay home and watch me go negative on Peter King.
As we usually do, we ask our random number generator (RNG) to makes its picks for the week's NFL games. We then compare these picks to the so-called experts. To make things even more lively, I include my cat, Jesus Quintana, in on the picks, along with Doug Lee and myself (Doc Bear is too smart for this). The RNG is simply armed with the notion that 57% of the time, the home team is a winner in the NFL. Quintana picks between two quarters as I drop them to the floor. Doug Lee uses his lightning-fast brain.
I use Kahlua and a proprietary mathematical formula. If that doesn't work, I listen to Fox News and MSNBC at the same time until the picks come to me.
This week, I'm introducing another section called Peter King Actually Wrote This. You'll see why after the jump.
So how has the RNG done this week?

A relatively simple but still intriguing business card for a graphic designer. The use of just two focal colours makes a bold statement and is to its merit. It succeeds in keeping its text clear and readable while keeping the overall design sleek.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A ridiculously minimalistic site with a centred logo and a clear description of the company. The logo is a great focal point and the simple layout guides users straight to the portfolio and testimonials.Posted in Web Design → Design
This musical App is a great example of stunning interface design. I love the graphical detail and the way the transparent black boxes are contrasted with the wood effect background. I particularly like the simple but clear icons on the tab bar.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
A great twist on using headphones in a logo. The use of orange and white is bold and works well alongside the relatively simple lines of the logo. I am unsure how well the text works, the typeface is clear but somehow the orange letters don\'t work for me.Posted in Branding → Logo
A great sounding and fantastic looking amp modelling App for the iPad. I love the massive amount of detail on the various different control knobs. I also particularly like the authentic looking Amplitube logo.Posted in Interface → iPad App
The superb detail on this business card really grabs your attention. Unfortunately it\'s slightly let down by how difficult it is to read the text. Nonetheless I think the colour palette is great and that, overall, the design works.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A clear and stylish corporate web design with excellent custom icons and an animated header. I like the clean layout of the site and its colour swatch. The animated white dots (while essentially superfluous) are a nice detail.Posted in Web Design → Corporate
Flipboard relies heavily on the beauty of its interface and doesn\'t disappoint! Every window looks great and is formatted perfectly for the iPad. I am also a big fan of the Flipboard logo itself, its transparent variant works brilliantly over a photograph.Posted in Interface → iPad App
This furniture site is minimal but extremely effective. The custom typeface is perfectly fitting for the company while the dark background adds an element of class to the whole site. I particularly like the high quality photographs of the sofas.Posted in Web Design → Misc
Strategery is a colourful strategy game for the iPhone. Its interface draws the player in through the effective use bright colour on a dark background. I particularly like the Strategery logo and the way it makes an impact!Posted in Interface → iPhone App
A very stylish site that effectively showcases the photography and design of its owner. I especially like the designer\'s personal logo.Posted in Web Design → Photography
A simple, three colour business card design that makes a statement. The symmetry of the logo is excellent and works well within the minimalist design. I particularly like the curvature of the corners and the continuity created by using a section of the logo as the detail on the back.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A great neutral design with subtle colour accents. I particularly like the dramatic focal image. In addition, the typeface fits the overall design and the text keeps its explanation concise.Posted in Web Design → Software
A relatively new Twitter client that uses white on black throughout. I really like the use of a home screen with nine icons but something about the detail of the icons doesn\'t work for me. The Twitter stream looks good in black and white but there could be more space in the layout.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
A stylish business card perfectly suited to any designer. The texture of the background is great when contrast with the simple white text. The overall colour palette is effective and suits the geometry of the design.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A fantastically original site with really unique typographical illustrations and a really refreshing layout. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and have a look at the footer for even more design goodness.Posted in Web Design → Portfolio
The long awaited Twitter App perfectly suits the iPhone and makes it easier than ever to keep up with the world. The interface is simple but allows the content to thrive while the custom icons add design interest.Posted in Interface → iPhone App
A solid business card design that treads the line between being professional and standing out. The repeated company name works really well, as does the colour palette. Yellow on grey is a popular colour selection but remains effective.Posted in Branding → Business Cards
A nice, clean design with bright pops of color in all the right places. I really like the interesting abstract shapes in the logo. They feel like 3D objects that Picasso created or something. An interesting effect!Posted in Web Design → Blog
A sophisticated student planner that sports a well thought out custom interface. The utilisation of the standard calendar is good but can feel a little too busy. The variety and design of the class icons is fantastic and a great detail!Posted in Interface → iPhone App

October 22, 2014,
Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill allowing nurse practitioners, midwives and physician assistants to perform aspiration abortions during the first trimester.
The trustees of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles voted to drop elective abortions from health care plans offered to faculty and staff members in 2014.
Loyola Marymount trustees will decide Monday whether to remove coverage for elective abortions from the faculty and staff health care plans.
The petition seeks to ban abortion coverage from health plans unless a woman buys a separate policy.
Unlike a 2007 anti-abortion bill that stalled in the Texas House, the new law does not try to calculate its economic or human costs.
With passage of a measure that may shut down most abortion clinics in Texas, women could turn to "abortion pills" without medical supervision.
A law that restricted the use of abortion-inducing drugs was ruled an unwanted curb on medical practice and the right to abortion.
The Harris County district attorney's office said that it would investigate charges that a Houston doctor, Douglas Karpen, had delivered live babies during abortions and killed them.
A wave of proposed and completed mergers between secular and Roman Catholic hospitals have prompted concerns in the left-leaning Pacific Northwest.
Legislators are quietly restoring financing for women's health services. The last lingering battlefield is abortion.

KANKAKEE, ILL. — Heartland Harvest and Indianola, Iowa-based Harvest Innovations have formed a strategic partnership to deliver new gluten-free pasta and chemical-free protein crisps to the food industry.
Heartland Harvest manufactures die cut snack pellets at its facility in Kankakee. The company recently expanded the site to allow for a doubling in capacity, and it has installed a twin screw extrusion system to allow for the manufacture of protein crisps for use in cereals and bar applications. The company also operates a research facility that allows for the development and testing of new food ingredients.
Harvest Innovations operates plants in Indianola and Deshler, Ohio. The company said it uses a chemical-free process to produce non-bioengineered and organic, gluten-free food ingredients. Harvest Innovations said it has invented egg replacers and gluten-free flours that allow companies to avoid egg and gluten allergens in their products.
"The two companies will join forces in their manufacturing and technical capabilities to provide exciting new gluten-free pasta options to the market that are not only gluten-free, but nutritious and great tasting," said Dennis Bunck, chief operating officer of Heartland Harvest.
Barry Nadler, president of Harvest Innovations, added that "with increased consumer demands and the expansion of health food markets such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, the growing desire for non-G.M.O. and chemical-free alternatives provide a rich field of growth opportunities for both companies."

Life sucks right now
Abr 2 2007, 2h55 por NspadesLife sucks big fat, nasty, disgusting, diseased, donkey dick!
Whiskey, Haagen Daaz and Entourage re-runs are my friends right now. That sounds sad, I know, but fuck it, this is I believe what they call self-medication. A Change is Gonna Come will be my anthem for the next...
This has been a rough couple of months, what I've come to learn is that I can't really depend/rely/count on anyone but me, so I think I can be okay with that, eventually...
Heaven help me

Interesting fact… Tomintoul 27 Year Old whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Tomintoul 27 Year Old whiskey, instead of whisky.
The nose is quite full and well-balanced. There are notes of freshly cut fruit salad; notes of crème anglaise with muscavado sugar; hints of burnt sugar and winter spice with buttery aged Haitian rum and a touch of chewy oak with a soft grape note. The palate is of medium-body and quite viscous. There are notes of pineapple, guava and apple with a touch of lemon juice. There are notes of vanilla spice and fudge with a touch of Demerara sugar and thick cream. The finish is quite full and long with a good sweetness.
one of the Best Drams I have had the pleasure to sample. I have know collect 6 more for the future.

Norway's HADES ALMIGHTY have parted ways with Psychobitch Records and are currently seeking to sign a new label deal. In the meantime, the group are continuing work on the material for the follow-up to last year's The Pulse Of Decay CD, due sometime in 2003. According to the band, "[the new songs] span from sinister, atmospheric and horror-like pieces to aggressive, almost SLAYER-ish, intensity. Some of it even has a doom-like, almost stoner, heaviness to it."

Subject: Metallic Wood-boring Beetle?
Location: El Paso, TX
August 24, 2014 2:43 am
I found this beetle dead on a small puddle in my backyard, luckily it was in good condition.
I suspect it is a metallic wood boring beetle, but don't know what type.
The closest tree to the place where I found it is an old pecan tree, is this a possible host for wood-boring beetle larva?
Signature: RAvila
Dear RAvila,
You are correct that this is a Metallic Wood Boring Beetle or Jewel Beetle in the family Buprestidae. We believe we have identified your Jewel Beetle as Lampetis drummondi thanks to the BugGuide archive where it states: "Adults on Acacia, Carya, Chilopsis, Condalia, Dalea, Diospyros, Euphorbia, Gossypium, Karwinskia, Nolina, Prosopis, Rhus, Quercus, Salix, Tamarix."

- Nice SurpriseOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/27/2014We searched the Trip Advisor lottery regarding this restaurant, and we were grateful to find accurate reviews. Although we were not crazy about the noisy bar scene, my Shrimp and cheese grits, and my wife's flank steak with grilled vegetables were very good. The owner/manager was very accommodating, and provided a side of garlic bread upon our request. if in the area again, we would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, reasonably priced!Foodie2013VIPDined on 10/24/2014It's a fun little restaurant with good food. Cool atmostphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favorite place in HerndonFletchDined on 10/24/2014My usual favorite spot in Herndon... great service, Incredible Food and Drinks... the new cocktails are mind blowing. Love this spot!Special Features:
- Stone's Cove: A hit!RegularGalDined on 10/23/2014Interesting concept. Kit Bar means kitchen bar. The are only a few tables. Most of the seating is at a large bar that surrounds an open kitchen, where one can watch food prep. My friend and I met at 6 pm, just missing happy hour. Friendly, attentive wait staff. For our appetizer, we enjoyed hot and cold dips, three cheese spinich dip with crunchy flatbread crackers. Four cold dips complemented hot spinich dip. Generous portions of the tasty dips. Great beginning. I had a muscat and my friend a merlot; serving size was quite modest. We both ordered Cobb Salads, and my steak topping was the perfect medium rare. We will go back, just for an assortment of appetizers for our meals. Want to try those meatloaves!Special Features:
- Easy place for a quick bitesoutherngalVIPDined on 10/20/2014I've been here before and had good food. This was no exception. I had the strawberry and goat cheese salad with chicken. It was good and one thing I love is the chicken was served hot on the salad which I love. My client had a flat bread that was really good and looked great in presentation. The service was top notch. Never and empty glass or delay on a request. It's not a place you go for a. Amazing dining experience but it is consistent and doesn't disappoint.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the conceptHaniKDined on 10/19/2014The restaurant layout is great ! the idea that everyone is seated around the stone oven and food made in front of you is brilliant. Great vibe, highly recommended. Although their menu selection isn't that big, the items on the menu are well chosen.Special Features:
- decent brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2002VIPDined on 10/19/2014prices were reasonable. all the food we ordered was good. quiche, flatbreat, and bangers were good. disappointed with service. it really wasnt that busy.Special Features:
- Stone's Cove, as usual...RobSmithDined on 10/17/2014I've never been here and had a bad experience. Even when the restaurant is packed, and the staff super busy, you can catch someone's eye without having to save them down. That's huge. Have you been to the bars where the only thing the staff focuses on is something right in front of them, or something else? (Never, seemingly - you with your empty glass...) Stone's Cove has the right people. Either trained well, or just plain smart. It's a great placeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent Food, Spotty ServiceMajikposhunDined on 10/13/2014I choose this spot due to it's uniqueness, the food turned out to be extremely salty,a nd the service was really spotty, for an hour at the restaurant we saw the server 4 times - and you sit right at the kitbar - so there is NO excuse for not tedning to your tables more frequently. Gluten Free options are excellentSpecial Features:
- Great FindDiningfoolDined on 10/11/2014To our surprise and delight we stumbled upon this unique concept restaurant where the kitchen is behind the bar in full view. The staff skillfully mastered the new art of serving, bar tending and cooking all at the same time. They were as delightful as the food was delectable. Great find. Hope they come to Philadelphia soon!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Interesting place and foodPinkShirtGuyVIPDined on 10/7/2014Lots of different menu items for either sharing or to eat by yourself. Beef sliders are great, the flatbreads are good and several unusual cocktails.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great casual placet8teVIPDined on 10/4/2014I love the set up of Stone's Cove. Sitting at the bar is always more "engaging" especially for the "bar tables" where you get some angles to make conversation easy. Food selection is great, but please: - put edibations back on the menu - get a deep fryer and serve fries and onion rings Definitely a must-try place if you haven't. It's fun, and one thing I've seen here that I don't see at a lot of restaurants is a number of staff who have been there for 2 and 3 or more years. Good sign!Special Features:
- Unique and funChasVIPDined on 10/4/2014The waiters are also the cooks. There is no kitchen in the back. The large bar surrounds the kitchen and you can watch your food being prepared, depending on where you sit. Recommended to share all dishes, tapas style. There are lots of good tastes available here. Savory items are best. Desserts are OK, but like many restaurants not outstanding, and not worth the calories. Wait staff tag teams you, and they are all very friendly and good. They all seem to do food prep, so they can really speak intelligently about the food, sources, preparation, and also some of the technology in the kitchen, which is facsinating. Shrimp and grits, filet sliders, mackinac flatbread highly recommended.Special Features:
- DisappointedBeccaIVIPDined on 10/3/2014We have been going here since they opened and we fell in love with the welcoming vibe. Over the last 6 months or so when we go in, we no longer get that "glad to see you" feeling. We have overheard rude comments about customers special requests and customers in general, sat down in front of staff who did not speak to us, and watched a place we loved turn into a place we are not sure we want to return to. I do hope one of our favorite spots returns to the business model they started with, great food and better service.
- Very nice Sunday BrunchBillTVIPDined on 9/28/2014Great location for Brunch. The outdoor dining was a perfect way to start the day with coffee and an omelet. The patio was inviting, the service was very pleasant and the food was quite good. I liked that the patio was behind in a walled courtyard and felt far away from the how busy the street is. The menu was very economical by comparison. I would visit again.Special Features:
- Good option for out of townersPTAAAVIPDined on 9/25/2014Food was excellent. That night I happened to be by myself. Chef came over and struck up a conversation. It was enough to make you feel welcome but not overbearing. The server was very attentive as well. Overall a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We keep coming backRestonFoodieDined on 9/16/2014Love this place! Great small plates, lots of variety and fun summer specials. You won't be disappointed...Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/16/2014"I love the relaxed feel of this place – like a comfortable dining room in a friends home. We definitely would return to try more dishes. Shrimp and Grits and Mackinak flatbread was sooo delicious. Service was well-timed and friendly and the the cocktails were amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First impressionsAnniversaryCoupleDined on 9/14/2014My wife and adult daughter and I stopped in for an early dinner and split a flatbread and the "meatloaf cupcakes" and a macaroon tower for dessert. The service was friendly and the food was well presented and very tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will add this to our places to visit again. Our only complaint was that the a/c was really cold... but otherwise it was great.Special Features:
- Good food, but service needs workEljayceeVIPDined on 9/13/2014We've been here twice and really enjoyed the food both times. The service is friendly, but slow and forgetful. Both times we ate there, although it was not overly crowded, the servers forgot portions of our order ... a drink here ... an appetizer there. While they were apologetic and the ordered items did eventually appear, it meant we were all eating and drinking at different times. That is not the optimal experience. Because the food is so good, we will go back again, but if the service doesn't improve, we'll soon get tired of those issues and stop going.
- Fun atmosphereFoodiegroupieDined on 9/12/2014We loved the atmosphere, food selection, and the wait staff. The menu was interesting and had the perfect amount of options- not too overwhelming. The food we ordered was delicious and we all decided we will be coming back as regulars!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My go-todukemaxwellDined on 9/12/2014The creativity with the menu and the staff keep me coming backSpecial Features:
- Always ExcellentjjmsVIPDined on 9/10/2014We have been going to Stone's Cove since it opened and we have never left disappointed. Very good food and service. The only thing that is a little annoying at times is the noise level in certain parts of the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun & Delicious Dining ExperienceSzQtieDined on 9/9/2014We took my dad there for his birthday. This was our first time dining at Stone's Cove KitBar and we all really enjoyed the experience. The food was delicious and awesomely prepared. The service from the various "cheftenders" was great and they helped make it a fun evening of trying a new restaurant and uniquely prepared dishes. We tried 7 dishes including 3 appetizers (the lobster cones were my favorite), a flatbread, a salad and 2 entrées and think that was sufficient for 4 hungry adults. For a Tuesday night it was pretty busy, so the place had quite a lively atmosphere for an early weeknight. Would definitely go back when in that area again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!Smb323Dined on 9/5/2014We had an exceptional dinner. The Creole shrimp Johnny cakes were delicious. The spicy and sweet combination together was real good. The beef sliders were tasty. We also had the lobster roll that was by far my favorite. The servers were attentive. It was a little noisy in there but overall I would highly recommend it as a good date place to eat. It was really entertaining watching the staff cooking & pouring drinks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Let down, really disappointedSilviaVIPDined on 9/5/2014This is the 1st time I have ever rated a restaurant. I don't expect special treatment just good service as I know the food will be delicious. My pregnant coworker was leaving for maternity leave and I had ordered the tuna cone appetizer. I did not know that fish can be dangerous for unborn children and she was scared to eat it. It took several attempts to have them take it back. I ordered something else but it took 30 minutes to get the new appetizer brought to the table. The reasons for the bad service is because I went at noon, sat at a table and there was only 1 waiter taking care of all those tables and the bar. What is disappointing that despite the long wait and lack of service the waiter never apologized for the delays.
- Excellent, as always!acj0001VIPDined on 9/4/2014Stone's Cove Kitbar never disappoints. You will not find better service. All the servers/bartenders are excellent. The kitbar setting allows them all to help any customer, as opposed to the traditional one server per table. This means there is always someone there to take an order, but they aren't constantly interrupting your conversation either. The food selection is somewhat limited, but there is a seasonal menu. I recommend the Devil's Kissed Pasta!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Glad it is in the neighborhoodOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/30/2014Occasionally we decide to go at on the spur of the moment and go thru the list of possibilities. Often we get to Stone's Cove on the list and then:bingo! Consistent, friendly, comfortably casual. The menu is a little bit limited but we can always fall back on the usual suspects: lobster cones, a flatbread, the sliders, and maybe another small plate or dessert. With 2 drinks , we always spend between $80-100 (with tip/tax) and go home happily to no dishes to clean.Special Features:
- I go for the foodBDOpsDined on 8/28/2014The food selections are great, and the portions are smallish - perfect for me. The beer and wine selection is good and with reservations, we were seated right away in a good, part of the bar where we could talk without shouting.Special Features:
- Fun & entertainingBigCrankDined on 8/23/2014I had a challenge - two out of town diners, One a former chef and the other with food "issues", two kids who bore easily and my wife on a diet. I'm so happy I found this restaurant; it met all my criteria perfectly. Everyone was happy, we had a great evening! The food was a bit overpriced and not as interesting as the menu would have you believe. Example: "Upside-down meatloaf cupcakes" were nothing more that 3 meatballs served on mashed potatoes - meh. The pizza-like flatbreads however, were excellent. Service is also a bit slow, but attentive. Still, we liked it, we'll probably return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Get the flatbread(s)OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/16/2014First thing on the menu. You will not be disappointed. The chicken kebabs were great as well, especially with the pina colada sauce!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding!mdominoDined on 8/16/2014The food and prices were amazing. It is a bit noisy, which we liked, but it's something to be aware of. Everything was portioned perfectly and they worked with us through my girlfriend's food allergies. We will definitely be returning soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SliverDined on 8/15/2014Good all American food. Nicely redone. Service was quite good. Interesting concept around bar but loud for conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for business lunchBdingellDined on 8/14/2014If you have to meet a partner to check in on a project, this is the perfect spot.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good concept, good executionspazzydancerDined on 8/13/2014We dined here for a Restaurant Week dinner. No one was leaving the table hungry as Stone's Cove had a four-course meal for the dinner option. The biggest hit at the table seemed to be the shrimp and grits, although my burger was also excellent (served with potato chips). The crab cake was ok, but nothing out of the ordinary. The two desserts, the s'mores flatbread and the luv cones, were quite good, but had a slightly manufactured flavor to them. Also, they have a very limited selection of beers on tap, but their offerings were good. The service was slow due to the number of people. But, it was distracting to watch the action behind the bar. Overall, a very good experience.Special Features:
- Great ServicemrsfoodieDined on 8/13/2014I went for restaurant week and the menu had a good selection. The server was very attentive. I would go here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week LunchCriticWannabeDined on 8/12/2014Very good food in a very loud restaurant with extremely poor service. Took 45 minutes to receive 1st course salad. Never had water refilled without my flagging someone down. Waiter suggested we share dessert even though we were there for fixed price lunch menu. We had to tell him it came with our restaurant week choice. A better waiter would have improved the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- jazzie1801Dined on 8/7/2014Highly recommended by my sister, took a couple of my friends for a going away lunch, good ambiance & service was great, waiter recommended tapa style for everyone to share, mango mojito just hit the spot, the portabello flat bread, lobster popsicle,cobb salad was excellent, we ordered more. We will definitely be back !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Conn. tragedy strikes close to home for Portsmouth woman
Beth Finelli of Portsmouth, with her daughter, grew up in Newtown, Conn., and attended Sandy Hook Elementary School, the scene of a deadly shooting Friday morning. (Courtesy)
PORTSMOUTH - Beth Finelli's childhood memories spent at Sandy Hook Elementary School have been shattered.
The 33-year-old Portsmouth woman grew up in Newtown, Conn., and attended the K-4 school where a gunman opened fire Friday morning, reportedly killing at least 27 people, many of them young children.
"From growing up there, this is the safest, most tight-knit, beautiful community. You can't even imagine something like this happening. It's unreal and I'm so sad for the community. It'll never be the same," she said as she took her first break from watching the non-stop coverage of the tragedy that has torn her apart and shaken a nation.
Finelli, whose children are 2 and 6, graduated from Sandy Hook in 1990. Her mother taught third- and fifth-grade at the school until she retired a little more than a decade ago.
While Finelli and her brother, Portsmouth dentist Adam Bottrill, now live in New Hampshire, their ties to Newtown and Sandy Hook run deep. She had only fond memories from her days at Sandy Hook.
"I can say that it always felt like home. The principal and the teachers all loved being there. When we would all arrive the principal would greet us individually. Everybody knows everybody for good reason," she said.
Finelli first learned of the tragedy when her mother sent her a text message telling her about reports of shots being fired at their old school. "Mom never texts, so I knew it was important," she said.
It wasn't until Finelli started hearing the number of those killed that she realized the magnitude of the tragedy.
"When they started releasing the numbers and specifically said it was a kindergarten class targeted...I just can't wrap my brain around that," she said.
Finelli moved away from Newtown when she left for college in 1997, but she still remembers what the school looked like when she was a young student. While the school is bigger than it was when she attended, it looks the same as when her mother taught there.
"Seeing your town on the news for all the wrong reasons, it's just a surreal experience," she said.
Finelli has been in contact with other friends in Newtown to make sure they and their children were OK. So far, she's learned that the children of her friends attend other nearby elementary schools while some friends have parents who work in other schools.
Finelli now wonders how her old town will heal.
"If you can't be safe in Newtown, Conn. Nothing happens there. People there are just good," she said. "I don't think there's any coming back from this. There has to be some start over at some point, but I don't even know how a child could go back into that school."
