text: That Mean Columbia Marching Band Has Been Un-Banned From Performing At The 0-9 Football Team's Last GameJack Dickey11/18/11 12:45pmFiled to: Columbia bandCollege FootballColumbia band bannedColumbia lionsRoar lion roarIvy LeagueIvy league footballrich people thingsNews8EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink You did it, Deadspin readers! Or at least our friends at the Columbia Spectator say you did it: Advertisement Two days after the University athletic department informed the marching band that it wouldn't be welcome at Saturday's season-ending football game due to its behavior at last weekend's matchup in Ithaca, the department has reversed its decision, telling the band on Thursday night that it would be allowed to participate in the game as usual. [...] The story of the ban broke Wednesday on Spectator, and quickly incited unanticipated media attention. After getting picked up by Deadspin on Wednesday night, it quickly spread to hundreds of news sites, including ESPN, the Associated Press, and the New York Times.You'll recall that the band had been banned from the 0-9 football team's season finale because they made jokes about the team losing and the fans boozing. Now national media attention has compelled the school to change its decision. According to Spec, some alumni threatened to withhold donations if the band's ban stood. And money talks at Columbia, particularly since the football team isn't good enough to inspire donations. I'll share one half-correction, half-inspirational email we got from a former Columbia football player: Advertisement As a former football player for the Light Blue (CC'94), I would like to inform you that Jason Garrett (and his mentally-challenged brother Judd) only attended Columbia for one year since their father was offered a football staff position and they all bounced back to Princeton after their freshman year when father got canned (for apparent incompetence... AT COLUMBIA!). I did hear many rumors that Jason was balls-deep into Brooke Shields during that era but I have no video/photo evidence. The best part is that Jason was the QB of the Princeton team that "broke the streak" on Oct 8, 1988, so as far as I'm concerned I'd like to say to him "Thanks" and "Suck It™." Anyway, my point is that he did not graduate from Columbia.And for the record, I think the CU Marching Band is hilarious. If the Athletic Dept doesn't want to fund them properly and force them to be a "club" activity, then they should suck-it-up when the team under-performs (or is it "non-performs") and take their lumps. Regardless, I'm sure they'll show up in some fashion and do their thing but for all of the things wrong with the Columbia Football program, the Marching Band ain't one of them.Amen. Now get to it, band geeks, and mock those jocks. Advertisement Sponsored Athletics reverses band ban [Columbia Specator]Reply8 repliesLeave a reply

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently announced that it will add roughly 4,100 providers to the 2,400 existing providers testing the possible use of Medicare bundled payment contracts. Providers must apply to be candidates, and this group of now roughly 6,500 providers, including both hospitals and medical groups, will participate in analyzing Medicare spending data to assess possible bundled payment options. This all comes as part of the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement initiative (BPCI), just one of the Affordable Care Act's many attempts to incentivize health care providers to be more cost efficient.
Bundled payment programs refer to the concept of grouping together the multiple services associated with a certain health "episode", condition or procedure - encompassing everything from an early breast cancer diagnosis, to a joint replacement or pacemaker implant. In the current fee for service system, each service associated with a condition is charged separately. In a bundled payment program, all services relating to a certain episode are grouped together from the initial tests and consultations, to the surgeries, drugs and post-op rehabilitation. Some have referred to it as the difference between paying for a meal a la carte versus a prix fixe menu.
Proponents of the bundled payment initiative are hopeful that this new approach to health care can lead not only to increased accountability for health care spending (and therefore greater cost-consciousness from providers), but also more transparency for health care consumers, whether employers, health insurers, or the patients themselves. Early market studies are showing a hearty enthusiasm from consumers, who are eager to better understand the costs of their care.
In the BPCI initiative, providers are generally required to reduce Medicare costs by 2%-3.5% in order to earn the program's rewards. The idea is that by setting procedures up as a bundle of services, they can budget resources and costs of services better, and can hit designated targets.
There are four general "models" of care being tested in the program:
The organizations participating in these test models will report back to CMS to determine whether the different models resulted in improved patient care and lower costs to Medicare. Participating providers can test any of the four models during this three-year initiative, and thus far interest is only growing among providers of health care and consumers alike.

big buffet, excellent pricing, great variety of different food, meat prepared in front of you. Including exotic meat and also sushi
Had a meal here with family off the cuff and the buffet was tip top. Meal was value for money and the price was in order too. Plenty of variety and service was on the ball.
This is an Asian restaurant where you choose the food buffet style and they prepare it in front of you either in a wok or on a grill. You can eat as much as you care to. Preparation is good.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.3 /5 from 50 reviews
Great location on gorge. Bit of a climb to breakfast. No free parking; about 18 euro per day.
Wifi did not work in the room. Staff not responsive to my complaint. room was too dark
The staff was absolutely lovely. The hotel, very romantic. Two small quibbles--the fridge/mini bar didn't work but the staff was lovely about shuttling up ice for us and offered to upgrade our room. The lamb at the restaurant was too salty. These should only be the biggest problems in real life. Overall, the hotel/staff were just lovely. Beautiful room, great staff. yummy breakfast buffet
We stayed in Metera whilst travelling around Italy. We took a car to the hotel which did prove difficult because there is no parking, but once we had seen the reception staff they took over organising moving the cars (for a fee - obviously). Reception staff were very friendly and we were shown to our rooms. I would avoid this hotel and probably many in Metera if you are a bit dottery on your legs, as there are many uneven stairs and we did see one man fall and hurt himself. But if you are not this is probably one of the most unique places in the world. The hotel rooms were all in caves. We had four rooms and all were different but beautiful. I could not fault them. The porter carried our bags up flights of steps in the heat of the day, smiling all the way. If I had one complaint it would be general in all the hotels I stayed in. It would be a lack of bar facilities. Saying that they opened there bar on the second night and this over looked Metera and the views were stunning. Breakfast was vast and served in cave, it was lovely. I would love to return on day.

The Hindenburg disaster took place on Thursday, May 6, 1937, as the German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg caught fire and was destroyed during its attempt to dock with its mooring mast at the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, New Jersey. Of the 97 people on board (36 passengers, 61 crew), there were 35 fatalities as well as one death among the ground crew.
The disaster was the subject of spectacular newsreel coverage, photographs, and Herbert Morrison's famous recorded radio eyewitness report from the landing field, which was broadcast the next day. The actual cause of the fire remains unknown, although a variety of hypotheses have been put forward for both the cause of ignition and the initial fuel for the ensuing fire. The incident shattered public confidence in the giant, passenger-carrying rigid airship and marked the end of the airship era.
There was very little wood on the ship, as it was mostly metal framing - but there was
some wood, and this is a little bit of it.
This is definitely a priceless piece of history.
Size: 24" L X 18" W X 1 1/4" D
Wood size: About 1/2" L X 1/4" W X 1/4" D
Comes with hanger.
These are vintage photos. A large piece of the Hindenburg's propeller
can be seen at the Smithsonian's Castle bldg.

I really like the dress. It really brings out my physique. Im more on the M/L (US) and yet it really helps bring out curves. The material of the dress is soft & comfortable to wear. Im satisfied with this purchase!
my mom said its very comfy and nice.. exactly like shown in the pictures.. lovely materials and perfect for all occasions :)
This is a very nice dress. The color and the fabric is exactly like in the picture. It has a lovely and sexy design. The only thing is I wish I would order a smaller size, because it feels quite lose around the waist.
The low back gives this dress wow factor! The side flaps create a curvy silhouette and give you instant hips. The color may not be one of my favorites but the fabric is perfect and it doesn't get heavy on days that you need to be out in the sun. I would prefer to wear this with a light colored blazer for the office and with a nice brooch for a cocktail dress. It can be quite versatile depending on the accessories that you wear with it.

I have had a recurring cyst removal above my canine, and a molar cut out on the lower right side of my face, and recently discovered that I have bruxism. There shouldn't be any swelling from the surgery left after 8 months. Could the larger, asymmetric cheek be from masseteric hypertrophy? What should I do? I visited a plastic surgeon but they literally had nothing to say but "The cheek is larger, come back in six months." I hadn't told them about the bruxism I figured that out afterwords.
After Three Dental Surgeries and Bruxism, How Can I Fix my Jowels?
Doctor Answers 2
The pictures are hard to tell what you are talking about
If your procedures were recent waiting 6 months as the plastic surgeon had suggested is really not that bad of advice. For jowls you can do a face lift, or volumize your face in the right way.
Bruxism not related to cheeks
Cheek lifts are needed to correct descent of tissue due to ageing. Not usually effective to correct teeth removal asymmetry nand bruxism does not have anything to do with your cheek, except that the muscle may become large due to constant grinding.

Before I delve into this story, I have one question for you: How long do you think it takes for the sun to fade your car's paint? Keep the answer in the back of your mind; you'll need it later.
The car wash is a magical, mystifying place, steeped in mystery and puzzles. Wait; no it's not — it's a freaking car wash. It doesn't get much simpler than the car wash, and the most simple type of car wash is the Automatic Gas Station Car Wash. You pull up, pay for your wash, and pull into the wash when directed. Gives you a headache just thinking about it, right?
If you haven't guessed, I went to a gas station car wash today. My fiancé and I have been going to this car wash for a few years now, so we are pretty familiar with the ropes (such as they are). We pull up and it looks like there is a line. Not surprising; it's a pretty busy car wash. As we grind to a halt, I notice something funny. There is a big gap in the middle of the car wash line, about three car lengths. The car right before this gap had its hood raised and door opens, so I went to investigate thinking that they might need help.
When I arrived at the car, the owner wasn't there, so I asked the guy in the car behind it what was going on. He said, "He doesn't want to have his car sit in the sun." What? That's right. That was actually the guy's reason for backing up the line. I couldn't believe it. Remember that question I asked you at the beginning? This is where it comes into play. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty certain that 30 minutes in the sun shouldn't fade the paint on your car (at least not brand name cars; I can't vouch for some of the "questionable" Russian brands). Incredulous, I walked back to our car.
Luckily, it wasn't too long before the line advanced and this genius thought his precious used Intrepid (oh yeah, I forgot that part) would be okay and he moved up in line. Wait, don't click out yet, there's even more to come. When the guy finally gets to the front of the line, what does he do? He jumps the gun on driving into the wash and completely messes up the machine. There are two freaking lights and a damn sign telling you when to enter! I couldn't believe it. Not figuring out that he broke it, the idiot opened his car door in the wash and tried backing in and out to get it to trigger. Here's a question: If you even thought for a second that the wash would turn on, would you open your door — let alone keep it open? This is whom we were dealing with.
Finally, when I couldn't take it anymore, I walked inside the gas station and got an attendant to help the guy. The attendant came out and was able to fix the wash and Einstein finally got through. By the time we went through the wash, an hour had passed. A 20-minute or less process took three times longer because of this guy. Apparently, while I was inside at the gas station, my fiancé went out and explained to the guy what had happened. She said he was extremely apologetic. Apologetic? I'll forgive him once he apologizes my hour back.Powered by Sidelines

Great For Bad Backs
By N/A
from Crestview, Florida
This is a great inexpensive item and sure helps with people with bad backs and the elderly. The only thing is that the broom part gets loose and falls a part but with a little supper glue it will always stay together. Easy fix for this.
use your imagination
By Dutch
from Johnson City, TN
stick for the dust pan should have one more stick to it so instead of 2 it needs 3. I have a hard time with the 2 sticks so I took one stick of the broom and attached it to the dust pan which makes it now 3 sticks for the dust pan. Now I can sweep with a regular broom (the one I got from you now is useless unless you want to add 3 sticks to the broom also) and use my longer dust pan which helps me a lot. I have back problems and the 2 stick broom would let me bend over too much.
I would not buy again
By kturner
from cumming, ga
The bottom part of the broom always falls out of the handle. I'm thinking about using super glue in the handle so it will stay attached. It wasn't expensive so I'm not too disappointed. I feel like I got what I paid for! However I love your company and your products.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Michael Dell Explains How Company Will Handle VMware
'VMware is a crown jewel of the EMC federation. Our intent is only to continue to help it thrive, innovate and grow.' -- Michael DellMichael Dell filed a blog post Oct. 19, one week after announcing the largest, most comprehensive IT merger in history: the acquisition of EMC, VMware and the rest of the vast consoritum of companies that made up the EMC empire. Dell has always wanted his company to be the No. 1 one-stop shop for enterprise technology buyers. Now he's got it. With this acquisition, Dell is the world's de facto largest and most complete vendor for IT goods and services. One of the main questions about the transaction involved the status of VMware, which, while 80 percent owned by EMC, was operated as an independent entity by the mothership. Would VMware continue to be run in this same manner by the new owner, or would there be changes? Dell himself decided to explain his company's plans in the blog post. To save you the trouble of opening another window, here is the entirety of Dell's statement:
"Given our recent announcement to acquire EMC, I thought it would be helpful to share some of my thoughts and intentions about VMware, and our plans following the close of the transaction," Dell wrote.

Greetings, gentle Readers.
In the midst of all the shit surrounding the American election cycle, there comes a single shining gem on the horizon of our night sky.
On Tuesday, money and shuttle schedule were adjusted to include resources to repair and even upgrade one of the great marvels of the Space Age — the Hubble Telescope.
The debate has gone back and forth this past year, as some problems have shown up for the big eye in the sky.
Some folks wanted to just junk the Hubble, and let its capabilities fade away, but any who have checked its images cannot fail to be awed by what this device has shown us about the cosmos beyond our tiny mudball.
Check out the Hubble site, have a look around. The image gallery is truly a marvel, and yer gonzo always recommends the wallpapers for adorning your desktop with the wonders of Space.
Now, I know there are some folks out there who consider Space and all that is involved with our learning and exploration of it, a waste of time and money.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
So many good things have come from the research involved with our Space program, that it would boggle your Mind to take it all in — from advances in medical technology to the very computer you are reading this article on.
Think about that the next time some fool tries to tell you "it's a waste."
I'll leave yas all with a gun little mash up of images from the Hubble, set to music, the first image is my current desktop:

Sound off on what ya think, and as always, thanks for reading.

The Immunology Core primarily provides support for Project 1 and Project 3. For these projects, pigtail macaques will be infected with SHIV, with some then receiving various treatments intended to control viral replication and influence the viral reservoir. The Core will longitudinally measure the SHIV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the blood of these animals at different stages in the treatment regimens. These measurements will be made using a flow cytometric intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) assay. For this assay, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) are stimulated ex vivo for 6 hours with pools of overlapping 15-mer peptides that match the sequence of the HIV/SIV proteins encoded by the virus used to infect the monkeys. Depending on the amount of PBMC available at each time point, responses to all SHIV-encoded proteins or only selected proteins will be examined. This is a multi-parametric assay that measures multiple cytokines as well as memory markers;therefore, we can measure both the magnitude and the character or quality of the response. Many groups have published reports proposing associations between effective or non-effective T-cell responses and particular functional or phenotypic profiles. Thus, a detailed characterization of the T-cell responses that are gained or lost subsequent to the treatment interventions in these projects will be informative for correlating with treatment outcome.
These projects will study treatment modalities aimed at decreasing the HIV reservoir. The Immunology Core will determine the effect of these treatments on the immune system, particularly the T-cell component. This is useful not only for monitoring the effectiveness of these treatments, but also for describing the type of T-cell response that may be useful to diagnostically monitor HIV disease and treatment.

Wow. Supernatural aired a season premiere on Friday that felt a lot more like a season finale. That's how much action was packed into "Meet the New Boss."
What can the CW favorite possibly do for a follow-up? Next week's "Hello Cruel World" will feature Castiel struggling with his new role, as well as Sam hallucinating. Often. What is real and what is not? It won't be an easy question for this hunter to answer.

Some are for the deal, hailing Carlos as a turnaround genius, while others see it as a ploy by Kerkorian to get his way.

|Fine dry bread crumbs
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs)
|4 Teaspoon, melted
1. If using frozen fish, unwrap and let the fish stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to very hot (450°). Grease an 8 x 8 x 2-inch square baking dish.
3. Cut or separate the fish into 4 equal portions. (Be careful cutting frozen fish, since the center will still be hard and frozen.) Combine the bread crumbs and the salt on a piece of wax paper. Dip the fish into the milk, then roll in the crumb mixture to evenly coat. Place the fish in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the fish with the melted butter.
4. Bake the fish in the preheated very hot oven (450°) for about 30 minutes for frozen fish, or about 10 minutes for fresh fish, or until the fish flakes easily when pierced with a fork. Serve the fish immediately. (Both fresh and frozen fish may contain bones, so be sure to remove before serving or as you eat.)

History of Laos by Martin Stuart-Fox
Book DescriptionThis authoritative and wide-ranging 1997 history traces events in this little-known country from ancient monarchy, through its establishment as a French colony, to independence in 1953, the People's Democratic Republic, and the present one-party authoritarianism. The book highlights Laos' complex and shifting political alliances. The struggle for independence from France was followed by a struggle for unity and neutrality in the face of persistent foreign intervention, as the country was drawn into the war in Vietnam. Only with the end of the Cold War and the withdrawal of Vietnamese troops has Laos been able to reassert its neutral foreign policy and develop a market economy. This book is an impressive political, social, cultural and economic history. It will be essential for anyone wanting to understand Laos as it joins ASEAN, faces great economic challenges and struggles to maintain its cultural identity.

WALCOTT, Iowa (KWQC) — The Grinch strikes again. Another QCA community has seen Christmas lights stolen, this time from several locations. That's prompting some officers to put out a warning, and ideas to help you protect you and your property.
The latest community to be hit, Walcott, Iowa. At a city park there, you'll see big, red, glittering bows and golden bells on the gazebo, along with a life-sized snwoman wrapped in garland. But something's missing. And residents say they can't believe someone would steal from the display set up by a community organization for the community to enjoy.
"We want the town to be festive," Lisa Mengler tells us. She's a chairperson of the Walcott Day Committee, which raises money to fund the display. It's a tradition at Welcome Park, surrounded by dozens of decorated homes.
"You get that old town feeling," Mengler says. "Hey, it's Christmas. Time to celebrate, bring the community together. You know, take your kids out, drive around." In this town of 1,600, residents come together to make sure there's something to see.
Mengler says, "There was a group of about nine of us that worked on a Saturday morning. Put all the Christmas lights up, went out to purchase new stuff to put up, and stuff like that." This year that stuff included new laser lights. "It just projects onto the tree and puts little sparky lights on the tree," Mengler tells us.
But she says a recent trip through town showed no sparkle . "I was driving by with my daughter in the car during the day and I said, it looks like our laser lights are missing. Later that night, my husband and I drove by and the tree was not luminated. He and another member in the community went out the next day and looked, and they had been taken."
So had lights at a handful of homes. And it's not just happening in Walcott. A Davenport family captured a thief stealing lights on surveillance video a week ago. And last month, a Colona family tell us someone vandalized a display, after they had already stolen Baby Jesus from the Nativity.
Blue Grass Police Sgt. Garrett Jahns says there could be several reasons. "It could be the fact that they don't like Christmas. It could be the fact that they think they need Christmas lights in their yard and they like their neighbors'."
He says while his city has seen damage, there have been no thefts yet. But officers are being proactive, asking resident to label lights or pricey inflatables using an engraver, label maker or sharpie. "I always thought it would be something like higher value items, stereos, televisions, stuff like that," Jahns says. "Never in a million years would I have ever thought to have to stop a Christmas caper like that."
Lisa Mengler never thought she'd be dealing with something like this either. She tells us, "It just breaks your heart."
She tells us the Walcott Day Committee also raised money, hoping to put illuminated wreaths up on Main street lamposts, lighting the way into the city. But she says at this point, members will have to talk about whether they want to do that, whether they want to risk putting up more decorations thieves may just take down.

Firestorm Books and Coffee
610 Haywood Rd, Asheville, North Carolina, USA, 28806
A worker-owned cafe, bookstore, and community event space committed to maintaining a vegan establishment. Re-opened here in summer 2015 (previously at 48 Commerce St). Offers casual vegan fare, baked goods, and beverages with plant milk varieties including soy, almond, coconut, and flax milk. Check out their book selection and the events calendar - see website. Open Tue-Sun 8:00am-9:00pm.
Category: Vegan, American, Fast food, Take-out
Reviews (25)First Review by jeribella
Love the Bookstore and the Coffee Shop! - Edit
So glad Firestorm moved from downtown Asheville to West Asheville (next to Sunny Point Cafe). The space is bigger and gives more room for the considerably expanded book store collection. Kid friendly books, speciality books for those who think, general books on the shelf or can be ordered quickly. The workers are informed and intelligent. Nice combo!
The coffee shop has fabulous drinks - coffee and beyond. I love the vegan cookies (although no one would ever guess one way or the other that they are vegan based on their deliciousness). Definitely try the Mexican Snickerdoodles (chocolate and cayenne), Tahini Lime (shortening cookie Yum), and Peanut Butter Oatmeal (coated in generous chunks of chopped peanuts.) The locally make truffles are great. The tamales are soo good. Bagels w/vegan cream cheese are a standard of mine, too.
Beyond the books and the coffee shop, Firestorm has a mission to use their space to host a wide range of events, workshops, film screenings, fundraisers and presentations that benefit the community. Their calendar is always full!
Pros: Worker Owned Collective, Independent Bookstore for Inquiring Minds, Vegan Healthy Foods/Drinks
Cons: Might have to get a few steps of exercise to find
Loving the Vibe - Edit
Amazing vibe, really cool staff (so knowledgable and friendly), and unique products. I'd recommend the Ginger Cider Elixir - caution, it's spicy! Really terrific selection of books too, obviously.
Great addition to the neighborhood - Edit
all vegan coffee shop and alternative book store. Happy to have them in walking distance!
Wonderful Cafe - Edit
Great coffee (I'm loving the maple latte) and the cookies are great too!
Good atmosphere and nice service, if Asheville wasn't more than an hour away from where I live, I'd go more than just on the weekends!
Another great thing is the community support; the Bookstore had a nice deal as part of the black Friday Asheville bookstore crawl, and the cafe part participated with free drip coffee!
Pros: Good coffee
Happy to Have Firestorm in the Neighborhood - Edit
My morning routine was recently upended by the quick and considerable collapse of Waking Life Espresso. But, I have QUICKLY come to love and appreciate the recently re-opened and re-located Firestorm Books and Cafe -- now on Haywood Road.
The cafe and bookstore co-op is not only located near home for me, but their coffee is very good, their bagels are delicious, the cafe is 100% vegan (and so, too, is the cooking section of the bookstore)!
So, if you're looking for a good cup of coffee, a toasted bagel with vegan cream cheese (made by Plant) or a pastry or a vegan sandwich, salad or lunchbox, some stimulating non-mainstream reading material, or just an escape of the status quo, Firestorm IS the counter-cultural spot for you!
Pros: all vegan cafe, counter-culture vibe and energy, worker owned and operated
1 Response
firestormcafe 20 Oct 2015 - Thanks for the positive feedback! We're so excited to be in your neighborhood and look forward to continuing to grow and improve our offerings. (:
Moved - Edit
March, 2014 with plans to re-locate to new space.
1 Response
firestormcafe 16 Jul 2015 - As of July 2015, we have reopened in a new and expanded location at 610 Haywood Road. Come check it out!
Vegan Truffles! - Edit
VERY friendly staff! Was in town for Thanksgiving and was searching for vegan chocolates. A worker at The Chocolate Fetish told me to come here for the biggest selection of vegan truffles. I bought one of every kind. They were all amazing! Also bought a yummy coffee with coconut milk creamer.
Pros: Friendly staff, cool vibe
NEW MENU - Edit
UPDATE: 10/2012. I was a little bummed today when I went to Firestorm and saw their menu has changed. They only have wraps that are pre-made, so you can't leave anything you don't like out. I loved the TLT and they don't have that anymore. But, I still like the vibe of this place and will just have to suck it up and try something new! I do NOT adapt well to change! :)
* * * *
Firestorm might be my new favorite place when I visit Asheville! I love everything about it; from the low-key, very basic interior, to the super-friendly staff, to the delicious meal - it's all fantastic. I especially love that they are a worker-owned and self-managed business. I also liked all the artwork displayed on the walls. The Cafe is very clean and uses "real" plates and utensils instead of plastic/styrofoam.
This cafe is just my style - good, reasonably priced (cheap, actually) food in a no frills setting. It's a bookstore as well as a cafe. There must be wi-fi since a lot of people were on computers (tho, I am not sure).
My meal was fantastic. It was a sesame/ginger tofu wrap, filled with all kinds of veggies (it comes with avocado, but I had them hold that). The guy taking my order, and the guy making it were very friendly and welcoming - just what you would expect in a vegan restaurant. I also had some delicious unsweetened black tea. It was a great meal (the wrap doesn't come with anything - but it didn't need to, it was very filling). The price of the wrap was $6.50! I love that!
I will definitely be back again and again. The location is excellent and you can enter from a main street, or from a back street. It's right across the street from a little park in the center of downtown Asheville. Try it!
p.s. There is something I disagree with in the Happy Cow description; that Firestorm Cafe is "fast food". You tend to think of fast food as crap food (as in McD or BK). That is so NOT the case here. The food is made up fresh as you wait. It was served to me quickly - so, yes, technically that is fast food - but the words "fast food" just have a stigma attached to them. I just don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.
UPDATE: Ate at Firestorm again today and had the Tempeh, Lettuce and Tomato (with herbed chips). OMG, soooo good. Might be my new favorite meal. I love this place! The price was so cheap - $6.50. Another place had almost the same sandwich for $9.50. Delicious!! Love it!
Pros: Very Friendly, Fantastic Food, Worker-Owned

firestormcafe 02 Nov 2012 - Julie, sorry to hear that you had a negative first impression of our new menu. We hope that you'll have another look at it because we've added a lot of stuff we're excited about, including a daily curry and rice dish, a half-wrap and soup combo, several new bagels and house-made flavored cream cheeses. The focus on rotational, ready-made fare allows us to put more of our time into being a great community space and bookstore instead of just a sandwich shop. We realize that this isn't the same menu you first loved, but we hope you'll give it another try!
heats and sweets - Edit
An amazing worker-owned vegan cafe with lots of yummy food. The cupcakes and thumbprint cookies are the tastiest in Asheville. I like that they have a venue and bookstore too. The only bummer is that they serve cow's milk for the tourists who come by. At least the tourists are eating and supporting an otherwise vegan place.
Pros: cupcakes, venue, cheap
Cons: cow's milk
Great Atmosphere and Good Food! - Edit
We had a few very good sandwiches at Firestorm when we were very, very hungry and then later stopped by when we had more time to think and process what we were eating. A definite stand out was the chocolate covered macaroon.
The restaurant/book store is all worker owned, which means everyone truly cares about how you enjoy the experience, and I highly appreciated the service. Read a full review: http://www.vegan-nutritionista.com/firestorm-cafe.html
Pros: good food, great value, worker owned
Cons: hard to find a table
great food, great vibe - Edit
my wife and i made a recent trip to asheville -- our second time in the city. being vegan, we love all the options we have. during our first trip, we didn't even have time to visit all the cafes and restaurants we had hoped to get to, and firestorm was one of those places that was on the bottom of the list. the menu seemed to have fairly standard vegan fare (and yes, the food is all vegan), so we weren't sure it would beat out the local competition.
but we were totally wrong. we stopped in for dinner and sampled their tempeh gyro, and their new mozzarella spinach wrap, and both were divine! then we opted for their brownie sundae with vegan ice cream from ultimate ice cream co, and again -- divine! we loved the food so much we made sure to stop back in for lunch before our trip was over.
the vibe was cool -- lots of people hanging out, reading, eating. very laid-back and low-key, and very welcoming. don't expect frills, because there are none to be found. but what matters is the food, and it's excellent. we'll be back on our next trip down to AVL.
Pros: great food, good prices, good vibe
Best Bagels! - Edit
I'm from NY so I'm really picky about my bagels but this place has excellent ones! I love that I can get one with vegan cream cheese. They have a great selection of coffees, teas and desserts as well as a small menu of sandwiches and soups. There are also a variety of books and items for sale.
Pros: Tasty, fast, bagels
Firestorm Cafe - Edit
The decor and food was very basic. My roll-up was inexpensive but too simple for my tastes. If you're vegan and on a tight budget, this may be the place for you.
Eccentric? - Edit
Firestorm is an interesting little place to stop in for a snack or lunch. The desserts and coffee/tea are my favorites.
The restaurant is about what you'd expect from a vegetarian place. Loud but friendly service, lots of quirky art on the walls, wobbly tables and mismatched chairs. Firestorm has a small book selection too. The books are mostly liberal interests, no surprise there. I liked their selection of books on vegetarianism.
I'd go back, but I'd probably get carry out. The super-casual environment isn't really my thing.
Pros: good prices, great dessert
Cons: hipster haven
Awesome Awesome Awesome!! - Edit
Traveling from east tn to east nc, we often have to pick food stops carefulle, examine each menu and ask tons of questions.... the only problem with this place is what to try first!! Great people, great atmosphere, and great food!! we even came back and grabbed a couple of cookies and blue sky sodas for the road!!! keep it up, we will defo be back!!!
Pros: Friendly people, Great selection, Great prices
firestorm - Edit
I've only been here once, but had a nice quite time w/ hubbie. Had Chai (very yummy, lots of foam) and a small salad. Neat atmosphere, lots of interesting anarchist books to browse. Indie music mix that I liked. "Hip". A friend goes there for game night.
Pros: great chai, good dressing, nice barista/server
Cons: may freak some people out
Awsome worker owned collective - Edit
This is a highly ethical worker owned collective. Their food was varied and delicious. We came with our two year, and found it to be a family friendly place. They had wooden toys and room to run around. A lot of their food is quite affordable. For more on their BEST VALUED FOOD please see our blog.
Pros: All Vegan, Family Friendly, Ethical
Cons: Hard to find
Not completely vegan - Edit
Firestorm is not completely vegan. They serve dairy products and honey.
That being said, the vegan menu items are delicious, and the atmosphere is nice. It's nice that it's worker-owned and operated. Lots of interesting radical books and people.
Pros: friendly staff
Cons: not vegan

firestormcafe 15 Aug 2010 - Our food menu is 100% vegan. We offer local, organic milk to remain commercially viable in a small, non-vegan city but all of our beverages are dairy-free unless otherwise requested (we serve soy, almond and coconut milks). We are committed to maintaining a vegan establishment and actively support the local veg*n community through fundraisers, book clubs, educational events, etc.
Pansyflower 22 Feb 2013 - I eat there pretty regularly and have seen honey only once on their specials board for some tea or something. I don't quite remember. However, all the food is vegan; the only dairy is milk for coffee drinks (though I don't know why they have to have that).
The most AMAZING brownies - Edit
Amazing vegan brownies & vegan truffles too!! Friendly service & great book selection. Game night Wednesday nights, cool!
Pros: Inexpensive, Great goodies
Worth the visit - Edit
Ambiance is great. I splurged and got an exspresso brownie with my soy latte- totally worth it. I loved visiting this all vegan cafe and wish I had a chance to sample more food. The book selection is as interesting as the clientel. The service was super fast and super friendly.
Pros: great food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere
Cons: no outdoor seating
good and vegan - Edit
I finally tried this place - don't know what took me so long, but the food we had was really good. I had a great sandwich, which was $9. That sure is not cheap, but I support the fact that they are worker-owned, and I'd go back to have it again sometime. Very casual atmosphere - coffee house style, but they have a good range of sandwiches, soup, etc.
Pros: good food, vegan, worker-owned
Cons: not cheap
1 Response
firestormcafe 22 Feb 2013 - Thanks for the positive words! We're thrilled that you enjoyed our cafe and we hope you'll come back. The sandwich you had (the Philly) is the priciest item on our menu, so you can definitely eat for less on a future visit. Our sandwiches range from $4 to $9 (after tax).
SOOOO Awesome! - Edit
I love this place! It's all vegan except for some cows milk. Its also worker owned and they have books. Even though the menu is small, the food is really good! The Philly Sub is amazing! They have tons of yummy all vegan cupcakes, brownies, muffins. The atmosphere is great too.
Pros: vegan desserts, worker owned, yummy food
Cons: can be crowded
Awesome! - Edit
Great all vegan cafe with yummy snacks and coffee. I had a sandwich and a mocha while listening to a local band.
Pros: Vegan, Laid back, Yummy
Progressive and Proactive - Edit
I love this place. First of all, it is completely vegan. And their mint-chocolate cookies are the best anywhere in town. They also make a fantastic tempeh gyro. And the people are so friendly! Prices are great, and there are computers, and nooks to read, and a chess set and board games. Kid friendly. They also often have events, or you can use their space for group meetings or herbalist gatherings. Only downside is they can be a little slow. But it is so worth it if you can spare the time.
Pros: Vegan + Delicious!, Friendly staff, Good prices
Cons: can be a little slow

Pansyflower 22 Feb 2013 - I almost love this place - I like it a lot. But it is not 100% vegan. They offer cow's milk for use in coffee and tea. And, like many anarchist/revolutionary bookstores, they do not have a separate section on animal rights, though they do carry some vegan cookbooks. They also carry at least one book on the "local food" phenomenon, which of course includes animals killed locally. So while it's super vegan-friendly, it's not completely vegan friendly nor do the bulk of people there seem interested in animal rights. The food is good, though, and the chocolate cupcakes are mighty tasty.
Delicious wonder for the body & mind! - Edit
Wonderful food! sandwiches, cupcakes, coffee drinks with choice of soy or almond milk! I love this place! Great books, zines & local handmades too :-)
Pros: Vegan!, Affordable, Friendly!

Efficient consumption of revenues from natural resources – An application to Norwegian petroleum revenues
This paper addresses the so-called natural resource curse by devising a rule that can reduce macroeconomic costs associated with the consumption of revenues from natural resources. It assumes that such macroeconomic costs are mainly brought about by changes in the real exchange rate, which adjusts in order to maintain external balance. Thus it derives a consumption rule, denoted as the efficient consumption rate, that would make the behaviour of the real exchange rate mimic that of the real exchange rate in the absence of natural resources. Accordingly, growth of exports and imports of traditional goods and services, and implicitly the sectoral composition of the economy, become largely immune to the consumption of natural resources. The theoretical framework is applied to estimate and evaluate an efficient consumption rate for Norway's sizeable petroleum revenues.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Saltwater Aquarium Equipment (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/saltwater-aquarium-equipment/)
- - Adding Live Rock or Sand to existing setup (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/saltwater-aquarium-equipment/adding-live-rock-sand-existing-setup-3911/)
Adding Live Rock or Sand to existing setup
Can you add additional live rock / or live sand from an aquarium store directly to an established tank that has live rock?
Just trying to understand if I can add more live rock later or do I need to make the final choice of how much at the initial tank settup time. My tank is not currently setup yet. Trying to look at my choices up front.
you can add rock later but make sure it is cured.
best way would be to add the lr rite away. if u add it later on while there are fish in the tank make sure u leave it in another tank or barrel with little to no light for 1-3 weeks until its fully cured
I've made several trips to my LFS and purchased live rock. I continue to add it to my established 55gallon with no problem.
I usually mix up a salt bucket with a power head and let it circulate for a few hours to a few days just to get some of the die off away from the surface and keep it out of your tank.
OK, it is best to get as close to your desired state up front but you can add rock later as long as it is cured.

To be honest, at this point I'm kind of looking for distractions. The
catalog-writing is getting old. :)
Next year will be a lot easier (it better be), but there's so much to do

Project Description
Hi again,
I have another project for you.
I require you, as the Data Miner to search for all of the secondary schools (high schools) and their contact details. I will need them sorted into States, for example: Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales etc. I have provided you with an excel spread sheet with the data required to be entered. Contact numbers and email addresses are vital.
We would like you to start by collecting data for Queensland. Following that would be New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania.
I will conduct a review of the supplied information and require all contact details, especially email addresses and phone numbers in order to earn full payment.
Are you able to fulfill the requirements of this project?
