Scroll to the bottom of The Village Voice's homepage and you will find a bland, colorless gray box labeled backpage.com. The last sentence of the disclaimer preempting sections of the gray box listed under "Adult" reads:
"I also agree to report suspected exploitation of minors and/or human trafficking to the appropriate authorities."
But no disclaimer is going to put right the wrong done to children victimized by sex trafficking.
Village Voice Media, owner of 13 alternative newspapers including the Village Voice and LA Weekly, is also owner of the online classified site Backpage.com, which has been severely criticized for refusing to do away with its adult advertising on the site.
In September of 2010, 21 State Attorney Generals requested for Backpage to remove its adult services sections stating that they "believe that ads for prostitution—including ads
trafficking children—are rampant on the site." Backpage declined the request of the attorney generals stating:
"Censorship will not create public safety nor will it rid the world of exploitation."
This past September, Village Voice Media was again urged by a group of 45 attorney generals to help end the use of their site as a "hub" for trafficking minors.
On Tuesday, the Groundswell movement, a new multi-faith coalition took out a full-page New York Times advertisement. The advertisement was an open letter to the CEO and Chair Jim Larkin and Board of Directors of Village Voice Media, urging them to follow the lead of Craigslist (which removed it's adult services section in 2010) and shut down the Adult section of Backpage.com. Again, Village Voice Media refused, instead pointing out on the Village Voice blog that criminals use cell phones and no one is blaming Verizon or AT&T!
The Groundswell Movement is now urging clergy and concerned citizens (THAT'S YOU!) to sign a petition demanding that Village Voice Media shut down the Adult section of Backpage.com. Make a difference and sign the petition today!
While waiting for my fiancee to exit a retail establishment, I was standing on the sidewalk at this intersection somewhat a ways back from the street and close to the entrance of a residential building. It was nighttime and dark out, although the area seemed safe.
A man approached to enter the building and told me how pretty I was making the entrance area appear. I'm ashamed to admit that I snapped at him and told him "that's a rude thing to say." I'm ashamed because he was paying a compliment, but even though he said it in a nice tone his intentions to hit on me were very clear. That's why I snapped.
I feel very conflicted about the encounter. On one hand I did not desire this man's attention and it was not appropriate for him to just come out and say this especially to a lone female at night. However, he said it in a nice way and was, at the end of the day, complimenting me and there was no tone of contempt there as there would be with a catcaller or harasser.
I just want to cleanse myself from this encounter by releasing it out into the world, and saying "I'm sorry" to this gentleman, for snapping at him, but also I'm not sorry because you should not hit on a lone woman at night in passing, no matter how pretty she is making your building entrance look. It's unwanted attention you're paying to her, whether it's with the best of intentions or not.
Thank you for listening.
To the man at the bus stop,
I guess I don't know how to say, "please leave me alone" in a way that you will understand. Please stop talking to me.
"If it weren't sacred – your relationship – would you go to dinner with me?"
No. I will not go to dinner with you. It's not because my relationship is sacred – and it is – but that doesn't prevent me from going to dinner with people. What prevents me from going to dinner with you is that I'm not interested.
"Not interested? How can you say that? You don't even know me."
Well, sir, I guess I'm not that interested in getting to know you. Because you opened this conversation by asking me how pretty I think I am. And then, while looking my body up and down, you told me how much you thought I was worth. A dollar amount. As if I could be bought. As if I would be more willing to go to dinner knowing you think I'm worth more than a car. Thanks, but no thanks.
"Would you rather go to dinner with me or do drugs? Would you rather kiss me or take a drag off a cigarette? Your boyfriend doesn't love you, you know."
Neither. None of those. Because your options are not real options. Because that is not the reality of the situation. Because you don't decide what my options are. And because when you got up in my face like that and started yelling, I almost hit you and yelled back, but you aren't even worth that. You aren't even worth eye contact.
When you left, I felt sick with relief. But I still feel sick – with disgust – because you exist out there and you talk to women like they're sh*t. So f*ck you, you delusional f*ck.
– The kind of girl you'll never have
On Tuesday, the Girl Scouts of Colorado spoke out in support of transgender children. This comes hot on the heels of news that the leader of a Girl Scout troop in Denver initially told 7-year-old Bobby Montoya that, despite identifying as a girl, she could not join because she had "boy parts." The Girl Scouts of Colorado maintained that the troop leader responsible was unaware of the organization's policy and released this statement:
"Girl Scouts is an inclusive organization and we accept all girls in Kindergarten through 12th grade as members… If a child identifies as a girl and the child's family presents her as a girl, Girl Scouts of Colorado welcomes her as a Girl Scout… Our requests for support of transgender kids have grown, and Girl Scouts of Colorado is working to best support these children, their families and the volunteers who serve them."
The Colorado branch also emphasized that they would be reaching out to the family of Bobby Montoya as well as working to customize their training programs so that all girls would be included.
Corey Barrett of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Colorado commented on the matter:
"I think it's all about providing a healthy environment for them for that to happen. Everyone needs to be prepared or at least have an idea from a policy and procedure stand point how they're going to address that."
This is such a huge step in working towards a more inclusive society where normal is normal, rather than a crazy, archaic stereotype. We say bravo to Girl Scouts Colorado for setting such a fantastic example for breaking down barriers of prejudice. But of course, we have an even bigger and more awesome round of applause for teeny tiny, bad-ass, feminist of the future, Bobby Montoya for being herself and driving a change that will benefit so many that come after her.
I was walking with two of my friends down SoHo and we were into deep conversation about something, definitely not paying attention to our surroundings and the people in the street with us. Suddenly, we notice a man walking in our direction, rudely about to walk through us. As he was getting closer, we realized that he was determined to not change his direction and walk around us so naturally we let him walk in between us. Suddenly he creepily mumbles to us "Eat each others' pussies…" We all looked at each other like "What did this guy just say?" We were all in shock that this just came out of his mouth. We all look back at him and he was, surely enough, looking back at us, winking. It was a very disturbing experience. And it scares me that this guy thought it was totally okay to say this to us. I don't know what he expected to get out of saying that, but I can only imagine all of the other disturbing things he's said to other girls.
I was walking with my friends and an old man pulls on my arm, trying to talk to me. I said immediately after, in an angered tone, "Please don't touch me." He then started following me and my friends for two blocks in which we preceded to walk faster. I was shocked to think that this man would have the audacity to assault me with the police less than 20 feet away, I was even more shocked that the cops did nothing about it.
I was on my way home from picking up Chinese food on 134th street. I tried to cut the corner because everyday men young and old stand outside of Popeyes talking to and eyeing every girl who passes by. I passed by a silver Escalade waiting at the traffic light and the man in the passenger side said "psst, can I talk to you." I rushed by, hearing his words, but ignoring them. Everyday I find myself listening to music so I can avoid the catcalls from men old enough to be my father.
About a month ago, I was on my way home returning from my school's volleyball practice. I had just gotten off of the bus, and I was walking the first of two blocks to my house. On my way, I noticed a man had gotten on at the same bus stop at me, and gotten off at the same one, too. I already felt nervous. I was walking a little faster than I normally would have, trying to make it home.
He had sped up a little bit, too. When I got to the corner of the block that my house is on, I heard him give me a catcall. I was immediately freaked out. He kept calling, and started into a jog to catch up to me, as I was half a block ahead of him. I sprinted to the fire-station next to my house. I waited in the office there with the firemen who had been next door my entire life. When he saw me run there, he turned around, and went around the corner. Just to be safe, I sprinted next door, buzzed myself in, and made sure I didn't go anywhere alone for the next week.
2 years ago, when I was 12 years old, I was walking to meet my friend. It was summer, and so I put on a pair of tight jean short-shorts. I felt sexy and beautiful and like I could conquer the world. I felt so good.
I was walking past a florist's shop when an old man outside gave me a catcall. I spun around, staring at him. I couldn't believe what he had just done. It was the first acknowledgement of being "sexy" or "hot" before. And it was from an old man who was wearing a wedding ring.
I didn't know what else to do but continue walking. I felt myself to start to tear up and feel brought down. I couldn't help but feel violated. Ashamed. I knew my shorts were short, but were they really that short? I kept thinking that it was my fault. That I was asking for it, that I was the reason I was being catcalled. And that if I wanted to dress like how I was dressing, I couldn't dress like that.
When I got to the place I was meeting my friend, I changed in the bathroom into something more conservative. I couldn't help it. I didn't want to feel that way again.
Now, I realize that my shorts or my legs or my ass shouldn't mean that someone should look at me, violate me, and make me feel ashamed.
A man came up to me while I was standing on the subway, put his hand on my hip and said to me "your European aren't you ? I can tell because in Europe the women are taught to be so sensual in nature."

I recently got my first tattoo and after reading reviews and looking at portfolios I decided on Meg at Love and Hate Tattoo on McDowell rd in Phoenix. Her "tradional american" style and clean lines were exactly what i was looking for and after our consultation appointment I was excited to see what she would do with my ideas. Let me just say it was hands down a hundred times better than what I had originally thought it would be! Meg took my idea and amplified it into a beautiful work of art that I am proud to wear on my body for the rest of my life!! The shop is clean and has vintage "old school" vibe... Theres endless artwork and flash everywhere you look. The staff were great as well and made me feel welcomed, comfortable and at ease (being my first tattoo, I was a little nervous.. At first!! But quickly felt completely comfortable). Meg did an amazing job and I get compliments on my tattoo everywhere I go! I will definatly be going back for my next tattoo.Basically, my tattoo, artist, shop and the entire staff were really great and I recommend all my friends that want to get tattooed to go to Love and Hate! Thanks again Meg!

Men's Soccer
Oct. 10, 2008
The University of San Diego men's soccer team extended their winning streak Friday night to two as they defeated the Gonzaga Bulldogs 3-0 to remain undefeated in WCC play. The Toreros have no goals scored against them thus far in conference action.
The Toreros out-shot Gonzaga by a 16-8 margin as the Toreros improve to 2-5-3 overall and 2-0-0 in WCC play while the Bulldogs fall to 5-5-1 overall and 2-2-0 in the WCC.
San Diego broke the ice in the 20th minute when Tim Muravez for the Bulldogs fouled midfielder Dane McCleary inside the penalty box. JT Howlan lined up the shot from the PK marker as he stutter stepped in his approach sending goalkeeper Scott Barnum diving left and the ball to the right, low and into the corner of the net for the 1-0 lead.
The Toreros scored again with 44 seconds remaining in the first half. Defender Eddie Ahman passed on a through ball over the heads of Gonzaga defenders on the near side. Ochoa was inside the box left of the keeper tapping in the shot from 12 yards out lifting the Toreros to a 2-0 lead.
Trevor May scored from the left corner of the goalie box in the 57th minute. Howlan weaved his way through defenders 20 yards out from the Bulldog goal passing it to May who was just outside the left corner of the goalie box slipping it past Barnum for the 3-0 win.
Each team committed 20 fouls in the match. Both goalkeepers tallied five saves each. The Bulldogs inched out USD on corner kicks 3-2.
San Diego wraps up their two-match homestand on Sunday afternoon when the Portland Pilots travel to Torero Stadium for their match set to kickoff at 1:00 p.m.

NRLC Punishes Chapter Over Gay Marriage Stance
The National Right to Life Committee has cut ties with its Cleveland chapter after the local group announced that it would oppose Ohio Sen. Rob Portman's re-election because of his support for marriage equality.
NRLC president Carol Tobias told [PDF] the Cleveland Right to Life that its "public criticisms of and implicit political threats against a U.S. Senator who has supported the right-to-life position" over "a non-right-to-life issue" has "violated National Right to Life policy, causing the chapter to disaffiliate itself from the NRLC."
"We respectfully insist that you remove from your website the claim that you are affiliated with NRLC," Tobias writes.
The Cleveland group blamed the disaffiliation on "coordination" between the national group and Sen. Portman's office and reiterated that "any politician, including Portman, who supports the break-up of the American family and supports the denial of a mother and father for children has forfeited the right of support and endorsement of the prolife movement."
Seeing that Portman became persona non grata among Religious Right organizations after he endorsed marriage equality, NRLC's decision to stick by him is likely to provoke the ire of other anti-choice groups that are more vocal opponents of same-sex marriage.

Simple Bone Cyst Imaging
- Author: Eu-Leong Harvey Teo, MBBS; Chief Editor: Felix S Chew, MD, MBA, MEd more...
The simple bone cyst is a common, benign, fluid-containing lesion, usually occurring in the metaphysis of long bones. The cause of the lesion is unknown. Bloodgood recognized it as a different entity from other cystic bone lesions in 1910.[1] Jaffe and Lichtenstein provided a detailed discussion of simple bone cysts in 1942.[2] (See the images below.)
Preferred examination
Plain radiography is the examination of choice because of its high diagnostic capability of simple bone cysts.[3, 4, 5] Computed tomography (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) usually are not required and should only be used for evaluation in anatomically complex areas such as the spine or pelvis. These areas often are difficult to evaluate accurately on plain film. Use CT and MRI to determine the extent of the lesion and whether complications such as a fracture are present. Nuclear medicine scans usually are not necessary in the evaluation of simple bone cysts.[6, 7, 8]
Suei et al studied the relationship between the radiographic findings and treatment outcome (healing or recurrence) in 31 cases of simple bone cysts of the jaw to identify whether radiography can predict prognosis. In 17 of 31 cases, radiographic findings included preserved lamina dura adjacent to the lesion, with a smooth margin, and no or smooth bone expansion. All 17 of these lesions healed after surgery.
In the other 14 cases, there was resorption of the lamina dura, a scalloped margin, nodular bone expansion, root resorption, and a sclerotic mass or multiple cavities. In 9 of these cases, there was recurrence of bone cysts. From these findings, the authors concluded that there is a relationship between radiographic features of and prognosis and that, therefore, radiographic examination should be used not only for discovering and diagnosing such lesions but also for helping predict their prognosis.[9]
Yandow et al reported that in 5 patients who received 7 contrast injections of simple bone cysts, large and rapid outflow veins from the solitary bone cysts occurred. Precordial Doppler was able to show increased signal in all 7 particulate injections (2 steroid injections, 5 bone marrow aspirates and cyst injections.) According to the authors, Doppler may be valuable for monitoring the potential harmful effects of such injections and lead to a better understanding of failure of cyst healing because of rapid outflow of material.[10]
Radiographs demonstrate simple bone cysts as well-defined, geographic lesions with narrow transition zones. A thin sclerotic margin is a typical finding. Simple bone cysts usually are situated in the intramedullary metaphyseal region immediately adjacent to the physis. Occasionally, they may be diaphyseal. See the image below.
The long axis of the lesion parallels that of the long axis of the tubular bone. Simple bone cysts may cause expansion of the bone with thinning of the overlying cortex. Some may have a multilocular appearance. In long bones, simple bone cysts typically are centrally located within the medullary cavity. See the image below.
A pathologic fracture through a simple bone cyst is a common occurrence. This may lead to the "fallen fragment" sign, which describes the migration of a fragment of bone to a dependent portion of the fluid-filled cyst. It occurs in only a minority of patients. This sign is an important differentiating feature between a simple bone cyst and other nonlytic bone lesions. When present, the fallen fragment sign is pathognomonic of a simple bone cyst. See the image below.
Simple bone cysts occurring in the ilium may be large and radiolucent, resembling fibrous dysplasia. Lesions occurring in the spine may be localized to the vertebral body or posterior elements, and diagnosis based solely on radiographic findings is difficult.
Degree of confidence
Radiography usually is sufficient to confirm the diagnosis of simple bone cysts.
The fallen fragment sign in a cystic lesion is pathognomonic of a simple bone cyst. It indicates the internal contents of the lesion are nonsolid and fluid-filled.
False positives/negatives
Difficulty in diagnosis may arise when an enchondroma or fibrous dysplasia occurs in the metaphyseal region of a long bone in a patient in the first 2 decades of life.
Computed Tomography
CT scanning often is not necessary in the evaluation of simple bone cysts because of the high accuracy of diagnosis of radiography. CT occasionally is used in the evaluation of lesions observed in areas difficult to assess on plain radiography, such as the spine and pelvis. The role of CT is to determine the extent of the lesion as well as to detect subtle complications difficult to evaluate on plain radiography.
The features of a simple bone cyst observed on plain radiography also can be appreciated on CT. Occasionally, air and air-fluid levels may be seen within simple bone cysts. Fluid-fluid levels also may be noted. Dynamic CT scanning may help in differentiating a fluid-containing simple bone cyst, which is avascular, from other solid benign bone lesions that demonstrate varying degrees of vascularity. See the images below.
Degree of confidence
The presence of a fallen fragment sign on CT is diagnostic of a simple bone cyst. CT has high sensitivity and specificity for detecting simple bone cysts.
False positives/negatives
The presence of fluid-fluid levels within a bony lesion is not diagnostic of any particular tumor. This sign can be observed on CT in patients with fibrous dysplasia, simple bone cyst, recurrent malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone, osteosarcoma, or aneurysmal bone cyst.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
MRI can confirm the presence of fluid within a simple bone cyst. Uncomplicated simple bone cysts have low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Lesions that have a pathologic fracture have heterogeneous signal intensities on both T1- and T2-weighted images because of bleeding within the cyst. With gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) enhancement, they demonstrate enhancement with focal, thick peripheral, heterogeneous, or subcortical patterns. Septations within the lesions may be observed on MRI and may not be visualized on radiographs. See the images below.[11]
Gadolinium-based contrast agents have been linked to the development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) or nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy (NFD). The disease has occurred in patients with moderate to end-stage renal disease after being given a gadolinium-based contrast agent to enhance MRI or MRA scans. NSF/NFD is a debilitating and sometimes fatal disease. Characteristics include red or dark patches on the skin; burning, itching, swelling, hardening, and tightening of the skin; yellow spots on the whites of the eyes; joint stiffness with trouble moving or straightening the arms, hands, legs, or feet; pain deep in the hip bones or ribs; and muscle weakness.
MRI has also been shown useful for evaluating the efficacy of intracavital injection of steroids into bone cysts. MRI reveals the presence of thin reparative tissue lining the cyst wall. This tissue progressively thickens, and new bone formation is also observed. Residual cyst cavities may also be seen with no evidence of enhancing tissue, thus requiring further treatment.
Degree of confidence
Uncomplicated lesions are diagnosed easily on MRI. Lesions complicated by pathologic fractures may reveal areas of heterogeneous signal and irregular enhancement patterns after the administration of IV contrast. This lowered specificity and sensitivity makes diagnosis more difficult.
Nuclear Imaging
Simple bone cysts show little or no uptake of tracer material in radionuclide bone scans unless they have been traumatized. See the image below.

Mum's back! Lily Cooper takes to the stage for her first solo gig in FOUR years at Paris Fashion Week (with newborn daughter Marnie watching)
She famously quit singing in 2009 - stating she had no intention of staying in the music industry or going on tour ever again.
But for fashion lover Lily Allen a gig at Paris Fashion Week was enough to change Lily Cooper's mind as she took to the stage at the ETAM show to sing Smile on Tuesday evening.
Scroll down to watch
Smile! Lily Cooper is back onstage, performing during the he Etam Live Show Lingerie at Bourse du Commerce - believed to be her first public show in four years
A very different outfit! Lily sang while the ETAM show continued - her loose dress swamped her tiny figure
Way to make a comeback: She practiced with music producer pal Mark Ronson before appearing at the Etam Show on Tuesday evening
Mum's back! Lily tweeted about the show sharing her relief at remembering the lyrics to her hit songs
She took to Twitter earlier telling fans she still luckily still remembered the lyrics to Smile, her 2006 hit.
Before the show she wrote on Twitter: 'Just did rehearsal for tomorrow's ETAM Show with @iamMarkRonson, still know the words to Smile, which is good. #mumback.'
Last time Lily sang onstage was an impromptu performance in June 2012 with Professor Green for one song - his time the mother-of-two was all on her own as she took to the French stage in a vintage loose dress hemmed dress.
It seems Lily is already introducing her two-month-old daughter, Marnie, to the fashion scene and her own music as the newborn was in the audience for Lilly's performance.
Pre-show nerves: Lily made sure she had a huge beehive for her performance
Lily, who now goes by her married name Cooper, thrilled her fans back in 2012 when she confirmed that she was coming out of 'retirement' by writing on Twitter that she was back in the studio with her old collaborator Greg Kurstin.
She wrote: 'You will be pleased to know that i am currently in the f**king studio with @GregKurstin.'
'No big deal really, i'm just throwing s**t at the wall and seeing if anything sticks.(sic)' she added.
Kurstin worked with Lily on her two albums and has also collaborated with Kelly Clarkson and Marina and the Diamonds.
The mother-of-two took her newborn on her first overseas trip on Monday as they jetted to Paris just in time for Fashion Week, with husband Sam in tow.
VIDEO Lily Cooper's first solo gig in four years is for Etam sexy swimwear range
As you do: She sang some of her hits as the scantily clad models strutted their stuff around her
She's behind you: Lily showed off her own style in a beehive with a very baggy dress as she gave it her all
Back on stage: Lily looks right at home with French audiences - as if she hadn't been away from performing
Looking chic dressed head-to-toe in black, the popstar headed to the ETAM show with her young daughter on Tuesday night.
Obviously hoping that her little one will follow in her fashion-conscious footsteps, the 27-year-old brought her along with her on her PFW trip.
mother-of-two, who was spotted partying at the Brits last week in a
mutli-coloured outfit, opted for a far more sophisticated look as she
arrived at the Paris show.
Ditching the garish colours for something more grown-up, Lily wore a pair of skinny black trousers and towering black stilettos as she strutted trough the streets.
Ready to rock: She grinned as her husband Sam Cooper followed closely behind
Mum's the word! Lily looks pleased as punch as she arrives at the show
First trip: Lily takes her newborn daughter on her first oversees trip to Paris, bringing her with her to the show
She added a billowing black coat over the top, in a bid to wrap up against the chilly weather, which had intricate embroidered panels on the front.
The star wore her hair up in a chic knot on top of her head, with her trademark fringe perfectly styled and falling just below her eyebrows.
Normally fresh-faced Lily opted for a full-face of make-up for her evening out, wearing a flick of black eye-liner and a touch of red lipstick.
Making her 'mumback': Lily informed her Twitter followers that she was gearing up to sing at the show, alongside Mark Ronson
Looking dapper: Lily's husband Sam Cooper wears a crisp blue shirt and charcoal coat as he supports his wife at the show
Husband Sam looked like he'd also made more of an effort for the trip, looking smart in a crisp sky blue shirt and a long dark coat.
Lily, who's currently gearing up for her musical comeback, told her Twitter followers that she's set to perform at the show, alongside old pal Mark Ronson.
Hinting that she'd be performing her old song Smile, she described the performance as a 'mumback.':
'Just did rehearsal for tomorrow's ETAM Show with @iamMarkRonson, still know the words to Smile, which is good. #mumback,' she wrote.

FxPro Financial Services Ltd (FxPro), a leading FX broker today announced a major development in its global business– FxPro UK Ltd is now open for business and will be operating an agency model.
FxPro UK Ltd streams and aggregates quotes from leading banks, including Deutsche Bank, UBS, and Morgan Stanley, and passes them on to clients directly to ensure they always receive the most competitive pricing.
By sending orders to the best bid/ask price on offer from their pool of more than 10 liquidity providers and only charging a mark-up on the spread or a fully transparent commission, FxPro's interests are fully aligned with those of their clients.
In addition, under the global umbrella of services offered by FxPro, clients now have the option of opening an account directly with one of three separately regulated companies – including the London-based FxPro UK Ltd, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (previously FSA).
FxPro has made a concerted effort over the last few years to make transparency not just a cornerstone of its business model but to encourage it in the wider FX industry. It is now authorised by the FCA and CySEC and despite being a private company it publishes its quarterly operational metrics online. It is also a member of the Securities Houses Compliance Officers Group (SHCOG).
Following closely on the heels of the opening of FxPro's Australian office last year, the expansion of services by FxPro UK Ltd and the move to its agency model is another milestone in FxPro's progress towards becoming the world's preferred FX broker.
Denis Sukhotin, founder of FxPro commented:
"FxPro is delighted to announce the opening of FxPro UK Ltd and its regulatory approval to operate its agency model. Following on from the successful launch last year of our cTrader ECN platform with its 'no dealing desk execution' we are now taking another giant step in aligning our interests with that of our clients through a full transition to an agency model on all our platforms. By removing any potential conflict between the interests of the customer and those of the dealing desk broker we believe we can offer retail FX customers a more transparent pricing and execution service. As retail FX clients have become more sophisticated and experienced, we believe that the demand for a transparent and trusted execution model has become the major driver in the industry."
FxPro is an award-winning online broker, serving retail and institutional clients in more than 150 countries. FxPro provides access to competitive pricing and deep liquidity with no-dealing-desk intervention via its advanced trading platforms, superior execution technologies and algorithmic tools.

Artisanal Restaurant Ratings and Reviews

They called 40 mins before time for our reservation and said they had electrical and water problems and that they were canceling the entire evening, they would be closed. But they didn't release my OpenTable reservation, so I had to call them to cancel so I could check availability elsewhere. When they answered there was a lot of noise in the background, dishes being rattled, people talking - they were open! Undoubtedly they overbooked and selected us to bump. When I said, "hey, you're open", they hung up on me. Terrible experience, would never, ever try to eat there again.

We sat outside for 15 minutes waiting for the valet to come with an umbrella. There was a lot of movement out of the restaurant by employees. We were finally approached by a nice woman who apologized for not having contacted us to let us know there had been a power failure. She took our contact information, asked when we were leaving the area (vacation), and said we would be contacted by a hostess to work us in...
Never happened.
To enter this review, I had to rate the restaurant in all areas, which creates an inaccurate picture of our experience, which was poor overall based on a complete lack of customer service only.
Artisanal has become our go to restaura ...
Artisanal has become our go to restaurant for special occasions. We love the outside dining area when the weather permits. Make your reservations early as the dining slots fill up quickly. The service is five star! The food is prepared with great care to taste and freshness.

Artisanal rates as one of N.C.'s top restaurants. Every summer we drive from Blowing Rock to have this dining experience with friends. We are never disappointed. From the time you get out of your car to your departure every detail of providing for your comfort and enjoyment is arranged. Savannah was a delightful wait person and she discreetly kept tabs on our needs. The sommelier was in the background to answer questions about our wine choice. The serene setting and the stunning architecture and interior design compliment an incredible menu.
Book early if you want to enjoy the experience.
Disappointing second experience. First a ...
Disappointing second experience. First and most concerning issue is that a huge storm was blowing up and rain pelting just a few minutes prior to our arrival. We were met at the car with large umbrellas. But much to our surprise and dismay we were seated on the patio at a table on the outside row. The temperature had dropped suddenly into the low 60s and I was wearing a sleeveless dress. The wind was high and it was COLD and the rain was blowing in on us. Although the hostess who seated us said it would not be, but she contradicted herself in the next sentence when we asked if we could move inside (no), then we asked if we could move to a nearby empty table on the inside row. No, because the ladies next to us on the outside row were moving there! So it's perfectly fine for us to sit on the outside row getting cold and wet, yet those ladies get to move?!
I was also concerned for our safety since there were large lightning flashes nearby. The only positive I can say about that is that I was offered a shawl which helped some but I was still shivering despite it being wrapped tightly around me.
I was more than a bit put out, to the point that we strongly considered leaving. However we knew they would charge us $70 anyway, per their credit card reservation policy.
It was very poor and shocking treatment from such a high end establishment. Imagine paying $200 for a meal where your safety and comfort is of little concern to the staff.
The food was not as good as the first time. My entree was essentially a butter sauce on angel hair pasta with a few bits of lobster for $42, was very oily to the point that I couldn't finish it.
Service was slow and I was also surprised when the server said I could not get the ice cream on the side with my dessert to go. I've had many other restaurants do this. He actually argued with me about it and prevailed. And the dessert (chocolate cake) was nothing spectacular either.
Overall quite disappointing.

Artisanal is an absolutely fabulous dining experience. Impeccable service and the best meal we have ever eaten. The food is expertly prepared, with perfect seasoning and flavors. Detail is paid to each aspect, from presentation to taste.
Simply wonderful. The chef worked at Le ...
Simply wonderful. The chef worked at Le Cirque in NYC for three years. His team is young and talented, the design of the house is simply gorgeous, and the quality of the food on a par with the best NYC high end restaurant. I would return happily any time. A true find in the mountains.
This experience exceeded my expectations ...
This experience exceeded my expectations -- which were high! The food was outstanding, and the service superb. The wait staff -- friendly and yet so professional, in our opinion just the perfect blend. And I think this is often hard to come by with young people. Obviously your staff training is excellent. Thank you for a truly 5 start evening.
This is the fourth time we dine at this ...
This is the fourth time we dine at this restaurant and the food, as always is outstanding, on par with any good restaurant in big cities. The restaurant itself is also pretty impressive, simulating a barn, with all reclaimed wood. The main room is ample and comfortable, with a view of the kitchen in back. The terrace is ideal in the summer.
From top to bottom, our experience at Ar ...
From top to bottom, our experience at Artisanal was beyond excellent. The menu, while small in comparison to everything else, is powerful. The food quality is exceptional. The service was friendly and engaging. GREAT wine steward and the atmosphere was inspirational. Thank you for all of the attention to detail.
And thank you for explanation of the dress expectation. So few places do that anymore. For what you give your diners in experience, the very least we can do is dress accordingly for the service we are about to receive. All of it together helps make the experience over-the-top. Well done!
Absolutely flawless! Amazing flavors sto ...
Absolutely flawless! Amazing flavors stood out in every bite. The steak was one of the best I've ever had, and made all the more delicious by the tarragon lemon sauce. Drew's pork chop was also delicious, as were the wonderful sides. His calamari appetizer was tender and flavorful. My scallops were the best. Serving sizes quite generous.

Artisanal is the finest restaurant in the high country, period. I have been a foody for many years, experiencing the best in dining around the world. Artisanal's ambiance, exceptional service, and of course, great food, make it a great dining experience.
I highly recommend it.
Mountain Mike.

This was our first time to Artisinals and it will NOT be our last! The waitstaff were all very professional and attentive. We have several dietary requirements, which were all carefully met. The food was superb and beautifully presented. And the ambiance was quiet. It was a perfect experience!
A gem in Banner Elk, NC
I had heard great things about Artisanal since buying our cabin in Banner Elk, but never made plans to dine there until last week. Even two weeks in advance, reservations were gone for Friday and Saturday nights, June 10 and 11, and we had to settle for Thursday June 9. It does not matter what night you choose as our meals were without doubt the best we have had in years. Being from Charlotte we have many choices for fine dining. Artisanal is the top of the list in delicious food and setting. We ate our dinner on the covered porch by a mountain stream. The ambiance is rustic, yet modern. Tables are well spaced to allow for a quiet dining experience. On our next visit we will make reservations for a table at the rail on the porch so we can enjoy the stream as well as our food.
Amazing food at a beautiful setting
It was our 1st visit to Artisanal based on a recommendation from our hotel in Linville (Eseeola).
We were so impressed with the food, wine and service. The setting is beautiful. Will plan to eat
on the porch next time. Truly a wonderful dining experience.

This was our first visit to Artisanal. We were visiting friends in Banner Elk from NJ. We were very pleased to find a high quality restaurant in the mountains so far from Princeton. We enjoyed cocktails on the back porch next to the babbling brook. We all enjoyed our first courses . We had the octopus, burrata and beet salad. All were beautifully plated and delicious. My husband who is gluten free was accommodated. We all ordered the Butter Steak and happy that we did! Service was wonderful from beginning to end!
My girlfriend and I went to Artisanal on ...
My girlfriend and I went to Artisanal on a Tuesday evening. It was my first time there. To my disappointment, the tasting menu that was on their website was not being offered. We shared the burrata salad to start, which was good. I had the Wagyu sirloin, my girlfriend had the halibut. My steak was cooked perfectly, but it didn't taste any different than a normal sirloin. The best part were all the vegetables that came with it. Simply prepared, but absolutely delicious. I did not try the halibut, but my girlfriend really enjoyed it. Food prices at this restaurant are very fair! It was nice to see a place that was not way overcharging for their food.
The service was good. Not fantastic, but far from poor. If I have any complaint at all, it was that I felt some pressure to purchase a bottle of wine. We each had a cocktail before dinner/with our appetizer and bread. And we each had a glass of wine with dinner. That was enough for us. We also ordered our wine about 5 minutes before our entrees came out, but did not get it until 10 minutes after we got our entrees. That was frustrating, as I wanted to enjoy the wine and steak together. We had the pudding for dessert. It was not pudding, but more like a cake/bread pudding. This was also very delicious! I would like to go back on a weekend evening sometime soon.

Despite anger from the Chicago Blackhawks,
Vancouver Canucks forward Raffi Torres will not face further discipline for his hit on Brent Seabrook Sunday night.
Torres, who had just returned from a four-game suspension for a similar hit on Edmonton's Jordan Eberle, laid out Seabrook with a shoulder-to-head hit midway through the second period. The Canucks won 3-2 to take a 3-0 series lead.
"With his history, I think that hit deserves a suspension," Seabrook said Monday. "I don't think he was trying to hit me in the head, but if the league isn't going to suspend somebody for that I just don't really understand that."
Seabrook doesn't agree with basing punishment on the severity of the injury.
But NHL senior executive vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said the hit did not merit a suspension.
"When Rule 48 [Illegal Check to the Head] was unanimously adopted by the general managers in March 2010, there was no intention to make this type of shoulder hit to the head illegal," he said in a statement. "In fact, at that time, we distributed a video to all players and teams that showed a similar hit on a defenseman by an attacking forward coming from the opposite direction behind the net and stated that this is a 'legal play.'
"This hit meets none of the criteria that would subject Torres to supplemental discipline, including an application of Rule 48: He did not charge his opponent or leave his feet to deliver this check. He did not deliver an elbow or extended forearm and this hit was not 'late.'"
Torres was assessed a minor interference penalty on the play.
The Blackhawks were incensed that he did not appear to make any attempt to play the puck and went right after Seabrook.
"I have no problem with [no further punishment], as far as how the league views it," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "That's their job. They know the standards, they know the criteria.
"I just think the call on the ice is where we got hurt the most, knowing that it was a major penalty. [With] an impact hit like that you can be exposed to severe injuries. That's the intent of the major call."
After the game, Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said: "There is a time for everything and we'll deal with it accordingly."
Game 4 is Tuesday night in Chicago.
"Hits like that, I'm usually the first guy to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, but in this situation I just look at the player making the hit and his intent," Patrick Sharp said. "He played eight or nine minutes, and I don't think he touched the puck. His job out there is to create big hits. He got a penalty, so obviously it wasn't a clean hit. I think its pretty clear what his intentions were."
ESPNChicago.com's Jesse Rogers contributed to this report.

"I have been waiting for a book like this to come out for most of my academic career. The essays in A Keener Perception provide an important framework for emerging discussions around the ecocritical study of art and visual culture. The authors offer such rich and detailed visual analyses."—The Goose
"The introduction and twelve essays in this strong volume consider intriguing instances of American art that span more than four centuries. . . . Every essay here is both interesting and a pleasure to read. . . . Rich enough to repay multiple readings and likely to be loaned to many a student and colleague, this book about American visual culture is well worth its price." —ISLE
