New York Restaurant Week this winter runs from January 23rd to February 10th, 2017. Restaurants that participate can offer a lunch prix fixe for $29.00 and a dinner prix fixe for $42.00. Some restaurants offer only lunch or dinner, some offer both. Some of the restaurant prix fixe are better deals than others (some are no better than the menu the rest of the year). Tavern62 by David Burke is offering its whole menu as part of Restaurant Week, not just a limited prix fixe menu. Tavern62 is located on East 62nd Street in the same townhouse where David Burke previously had restaurants davidburke & donatella and Fishtail
The menu includes some of David Burke's signature dishes, like Pastrami Salmon, Candied Bacon and his cheesecake lollipop tree. The menu on the restaurant's website hasn't been updated, yet.
Everyone starts with a mini muffin. Butter is served on a small block of Himalayan salt.
I started with the Tuna Poke–light and fresh.
My companion had the clothesline candied bacon. It comes with scissors.
My companion's main course was the bacon ravioli (yes, a bacon-themed meal). It looks like ravioli in a creamy cheesy sauce, but what you can't tell from looking at it is how smoky and complex the flavors were. It was an absolutely unique and delicious dish.
Going with a lighter, fishier theme, I had the roasted branzino. Again, it looks like a simple dish, but the veracruz sauce had tons of flavor and unexpected heat. The fish was moist and perfectly cooked.
We shared the pecan tart and the smores cake for dessert.
All in all, it was definitely one of the best restaurant lunches I've had in a while. And Tavern62 by David Burke offers a great selection and value for restaurant week. I've already made another reservation–if the menu stays the same, I already know what I will order: the chowder and the bacon ravioli.
I've seen about forty shows so far at this year's Fringe Festival in Edinburgh. The six shows I have given high ratings to have been at the Traverse and the Pleasance theatres. The best shows I have seen so far:
At the Traverse:
1. Mouse
2. Diary of a Madman
3. My Eyes Went Dark
At the Pleasance:
1. Krapp 39
2. Swansong
3. Bucket List
The worst shows have been Sweet Child of Mine (walked out about halfway through), Cut, The Last Dream on Earth (a big bore) and Blank (ultimately shallow and banal)
It is Restaurant Week in New York (from July 25-August 19,2016) so it was time to figure out which restaurants were offering nice prix fixe menus ($29 lunch or $42 dinner)–ones that are not normally available outside of restaurant week. I had lunch at The Clocktower shortly after they opened some months back. It is a beautiful restaurant and I was happy to see that they were doing a restaurant week lunch. Their normal lunch prix fixe is $39.
The restaurant week menu offers a choice of three appetizers, three mains and two desserts. I went pescatarian, ordering the fluke crudo to start followed by fish and chips.
I enjoyed my lunch, but I was very surprised by the fluke crudo. Rather than being cold and raw, it was hot. At first I thought the waiter had delivered the wrong dish. I asked and was told it was "lightly poached." The dish was tasty but not what I expected and even a little well done. It ended up being too similar to my main course–both were cooked fish over something deep green.
The fish over mushy peas and chips (not in the photo) were a delicious reflection of Chef Jason Atherton's British roots.
My lunch companion ordered the burger:
Dessert was cherry cheesecake and compote with cocoa whip cream and bits of chocolate sponge cake.
I've been to a lot of theater lately (both on Broadway and off) and, I have to say, I enjoyed Jacuzzi more than the rest. Jacuzzi is a creation of The Debate Society—a Brooklyn based theater company that consists of two writers/actors (Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen) and one director (Oliver Butler).
I had seen their Blood Play at the Public Theater's Under the Radar Festival a couple of years ago—a play that featured the basement tiki bar of a surburban home, odd retro drink concoctions, friendly neighbors and a touch of malevolence. And I saw Hannah Bos perform in Will Eno's play The Open House earlier this year.
So when I saw that tickets for their new work Jacuzzi were selling out fast, I grabbed a ticket, and became an Ars Nova at the same time (where I saw the terrific Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 in its original incarnation).
The theater has been turned on its side–Instead of having the show at one end of the rectangular room, the set is a long and narrow living room down the side of the theater. There are just three rows of seats for the audience and the nice tiering guarantees everyone a good view. The living room is part of a vacation home in Colorado mountains. It is ski season and snowy outside, but the living room contains a working jacuzzi and throughout the performance, the four actors are hopping in and out of it.
When the play begins, a couple (played by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen) are in the jacuzzi. We think that they are vacationers who have rented the ski chalet. A third person arrives. Handsome and preppie looking, it turns out he is Bo, the son (played by Chris Lowell) of the homeowner. He is supposed to be meeting his father the next day and wasn't expecting anyone to be in the home. Bo assumes that the couple are renter just as we are starting to get the sense that maybe they are not. Bo has never held a job and lives off the money of his recently divorced parents. He says that his father is paying him to spend time with him at the house–isn't that sad, he adds. The next day, the father (played by Peter Friedman, who I have seen recently in The Great God Pan, The Open House and Fly by Night) arrives and things start to get interesting.
I don't want to say too much—because a lot of the fun of watching the play is trying to figure out what is going on.
I love the way the play reveals itself slowly—you never know exactly what the truth is. I enjoyed watching for the silent clues in the facial expressions of Hannah and Paul and their wordless signals to each other. Nothing is exactly what it seems–particularly in the motivations and personalities of the characters. All of the characters are flawed—the son doesn't treat people very well and perhaps, has a skeleton or two in his closet. The father, together with his ex-wife, wrote bestsellers about their son's development while he was growing up—embarrassing him and making a psychological lab rat out of him and his friends. The couple must be up to no good, but it seems the woman is also trying to bring the emotionally estranged son and father back together.
The ski chalet which is like a fifth character also contains mysteries–it appears to be pure 70's–a VCR, a TV that's not flat screen, lots of knick knacks which take us back in time. Bo says the knick knacks, which look like cheap junk, are valuable collectibles that belong to his mother. Is the play taking place in the 70's or is the ski chalet just stuck in a time warp?
Some of the mysteries of the play are explained in a voice-over narrative by one of the characters, some are revealed n the movements and glances of the couple and some are never solved (why won't the town merchants let the father and son shop in their stores?) But all along, we get to enjoy the ambiguities.
Jacuzzi has been extended to November 8th.
More about The Debate Society:
Pan fried chicken, okra, mac and cheese, collard greens, smothered chicken. These are some of the things you can get at Charles Country Pan Fried Chicken in Harlem. We headed up there for lunch because we heard Charles' chicken is legendary.
The place is mostly a take-out spot, but they have three or four tables where you can enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet. At lunchtime it is $13.00 a person. You can pick anything you want from the hot food tables, including the famous fried chicken. Not a typical help yourself buffet. Here, you point, they serve.
I started with some fried chicken, smothered chicken and BBQ chicken. I specified how many pieces of each I wanted (one) and which type (drumstick). Plus macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes and an okra and corn stew. Everything was delicious. The fried chicken was crunchy and not greasy. The BBQ is much better than it looks. It is in a thin sauce that is thick with flavor. The sweet potatoes weren't overly sweet–just how I like them. I had seconds of everything on the plate–I liked them so much, I didn't try the other items.
While we were eating, I could watch a soap opera on TV or chef and owner Charles Gabriel cooking up some more chicken in a big skillet at the stove behind the food counter.
You also had your choice of smothered turkey leg or stewed pig's foot. I passed up the rice, corn, collard greens, and beans, but I tasted the greens and beans on Lee's plate–yummy.
The New York Times agreed that the chicken and the experience are superb.
The New Yorker magazine profiled Charles this week here
The Lee Brothers call Charles Gabriel a legend
Charles Country Pan Fried Chicken is on Frederick Douglass Boulevard between 151st and 152 Streets–just a couple of blocks from the 155th Street stop on the B and D subway lines. It is one subway stop (or about a 15 minute walk) from Yankee Stadium.
Sex with Strangers is an enjoyable old-fashioned love story in the social media age. Two people meet in a secluded inn in the woods. No one else is staying at the inn, including the owner. There is no cellular signal and the wi-fi is not working—the repairman has been delayed by a storm. One of them is almost 40-year old Olivia: teacher, and author of a failed, out of print novel. She is at the inn to work on a new novel she is writing with no intention of publishing. Olivia is played by Anna Gunn, best known for her leading role on Breaking Bad. She looks and sounds different here—she is much thinner now and she seems younger and less matronly.
Enter 28-year old Ethan, played by Billy Magnussen, who was terrific in Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike. He tells Olivia that he is a writer on a deadline. His first book, Sex with Strangers, spent 5 years on the New York Times bestseller list and is about to be turned into a film. The book began as a dare and a blog. His friends told him that girls no longer want to pick up guys in bars—they prefer the internet, because they can find out a lot more about people. Ethan, a cocky, charismatic guy (who, by now, everyone has decided is a jerk) decided to prove his friends wrong by having a one-night stand at least weekly with someone he picks up in a bar. He then wrote about it on his blog. He became so popular that "I Slept with Ethan" websites started popping up where the women told their sides of the stories.
Of course, in the play "Sex with Strangers, " we know that Olivia and Ethan are going to have sex and they do, very soon after meeting. But the play headed in a completely different direction to what I was expecting. I thought Ethan would turn out to be something very different from what he said—kind of like a face-to-face catfish. Since they had no internet access, none of his information was verifiable. In fact the first act ended with Olivia finally getting wi-fi access, googling Ethan, and then exclaiming something like "Oh Shit". But, I learned in Act II, I was wrong.
Act II. We jump ahead in time. Ethan and Olivia are still seeing each other. Everything he told her was true. Olivia is trying to reconcile the Ethan she knows with his public persona. In the meantime, he has used his publishing connections to help Olivia get her novel published, but now he would like to start an online publishing venture and he would like her to help him with the rights to her book.
It turns out the play is an old-fashioned love story, exploring questions like how well do we know our partners? How do relationships change as partners grow and mature? How much of relationships are love and how much opportunism? How much is timing? How does the success of a partner change a relationship? How much does age matter? Where does lust end and love start?

Yesterday I had a fabulous meal at M. Wells. A couple days earlier the M. Wells folks sent out an email saying that they were having a Labor Day party. There would be a DJ, food for a fixed price of $30 and a cash bar. As is usually the case with M. Wells' special events, there were no details about the food. The email only stated they would "celebrate the best of our summer specials and take a peak at our upcoming fall menu". You have to be prepared to jump in without any details. You have to ignore the press who usually get it wrong (Time Out said the menu would include fish quenelle and lobster, veal kidney with sea beans and salt-crusted squab–none of which were served). With M. Wells, you have to put yourself in their hands, go in blind and trust in Hugue. Whatever it is, it is bound to be surprising, generous and wonderful. Yesterday was a case in point.
We got our wristbands and a couple of drinks from the bar, sat down at a table and over the next couple of hours, the following dishes were brought out to the two of us:
The seafood platter had 6 oysters and 4 little jars which contained geoduck, mussels, clams, and roe. What a way to start! (Later we saw that king crab legs were being added to the platter)
A baked potato was served with the seafood platter. The roe with creamy horseradish sauce from one of the jars was a perfect topping.
We shared a juicy hamburger and fries.
The pan con tomate was loaded with flavor.
The guinea hen roulade was stuffed with something sausagey (foie gras was mentioned) and topped with a mushroom sauce. The best part with the exterior–it was wrapped in a thin french toast.
One of the regular items on the M. Wells Steakhouse menu is a "stack of pork chops." We got a beautiful stack of two delicious chops.
The cauliflower was roasted, topped with puffed rice and served with a sauce with a little heat and Indian flavors.
Fried chicken with a yummy gravy for dipping.
Much more a croquette, than gnocchi, this was oozing foie gras. OMG!
A special meal at M. Wells has to include wild hare.
We were stuffed by this point, but managed to eat all of our dessert-maple pie, something like a chess pie and a chocolate icebox type cake.
Oh, and the music was terrific–it started out with New Orleans music and built up to dance music. A lovely way to spend Labor Day. Thanks M Wells!

The government should consider introducing a health screening process for those who may have been exposed to asbestos as a result of bombing campaigns by paramilitary groups.
The suggestion – made by prominent victims' campaigner Kenny Donaldson – follows news this month of two deaths which have been linked to the carcinogenic substance.
Both of the victims – one a civilian security guard, and the other a detective – had been present at scenes of wreckage caused by IRA explosions.
Mr Donaldson, from the umbrella group Innocent Victims United (IVU) which is comprised of more than 20 organisations representing an estimated 11,000 people, said: "We are calling today for an acknowledgement by Government that it has a duty of care to those families who have lost loved ones to secondary related issues which can be proven to have arisen as a consequence of an initial primary 'Troubles-related incident'.
"A family which has a main breadwinner stolen does not suffer less whether that individual is killed instantly or dies a death a number of years later because of what they experienced or were subjected to through the initial incident.
"We also are asking that serious consideration be given by government to providing a health screening process for those who were exposed to asbestos or other deadly toxins in the aftermath of bombing incidents.
"This State has a duty to identify other cases and to then enact the necessary interventions which could save or certainly prolong the lives of those citizens affected."
The Northern Irish health service is presently under considerable pressure, with the News Letter having reported in November that close to half of people on an outpatient waiting list were waiting 18 weeks or more for an appointment – a massive rise compared with the figures just one year earlier.
Mr Donaldson added that "there are finer details which need ironed-out for such a screening process to occur, but we in IVU want to hear a commitment from government that they are prepared to invest in their citizens through examining what can be done around these issues".
On December 15 this year, The Sun newspaper reported that Jonathan Woods, in his late 60s, had died after developing mesothelioma.
This is a type of lung cancer caused by asbestos fibres, which often besets those who have worked in shipyards or in other industrial settings.
Mr Woods, an ex-detective, had been on the scene after the Brighton Bombing in 1984, when the IRA reduced much of the hotel to rubble, killing five people, in an attack on UK cabinet ministers.
On December 25, The Telegraph reported that Stuart Packard – who had been present as a security guard in the aftermath of the IRA's massive 1996 Manchester bombing – had died the previous month of the same disease, prompting campaigners for some of the IRA's England-based atrocities to speak out.

Jennifer Lopez doesn't need to diet as she works out so much.
The singing sensation has always rocked perfect curves and is often seen flaunting her figure in gorgeous red-carpet outfits. Trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson - whose other famous clients include Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna - helps Jennifer, 46, stay in shape and insists there's been no tampering with her eating habits, as her exercise regime is so strenuous.
"No, she wasn't overweight anyway and she is a very healthy eater," Tracy told Britain's Closer Specials Diet & Fitness magazine. "She doesn't diet as she works out so much. I only get involved in people's diets if they are very unhealthy."
The fitness guru and Jennifer have worked together to create a series of workouts catered especially to the pop star. As for what areas the On the Floor singer focuses on most, Tracy revealed they give extra attention to her butt and legs.
"She has a beautiful shape so we wanted to keep that, but I designed a workout to keep her sexy butt toned and lifted and got her legs looking long and feminine with better skin tone," she said.
Tracy even shared the moves devised for Jennifer, explaining there's eight to 10 different leg movements which they repeat around 40 times each. When it comes to working her arms, sometimes 3lb (1.3 kilogram) weights are used, before the pair break into dance aerobics for 40 minutes.
Jennifer is so proud of her hourglass figure that she recently unveiled a tank top which she designed to celebrate women's curves. Sharing a snap of the white top on Instagram, which featured an old-school photo of her alongside the line "Lucky to have these curves", she urged her female fans to get one before they're gone.

The Legal Tender Cases
The Legal Tender Cases were a series of decisions in the U.S. Supreme Court in the early 1870s concerning the power of the federal government to order that everyone accept government money (bills of credit) as payment for all obligations, public and private.
The cases arose from the issuance of "greenbacks" during the Civil War and the Legal Tender Act of 1862, which declared that this government money must be accepted for all debts, public and private. In Hepburn v. Griswold (1870), the U.S. Supreme Court invalided the law as applied to pre-existing debts as a violation of the Obligation of Contract Clause.
But a change in membership and the strong disapproval of President Ulysses S. Grant led the Court to reverse its decision the following year in Knox v. Lee (1871), and it upheld the Legal Tender Act.
In Julliard v. Greenman (1884) the Supreme Court extended its rule beyond the justification of war and into peacetime. In the 1930s the Supreme Court extended its rule further to prohibit clauses in private contracts that required the payment of gold.
Critics of these decisions, such as Justice Stephen Field, observed that the Founders clearly opposed government power to issue legal tender.
The Legal Tender Cases are cited today for the principle that the Takings Clause reaches only a direct appropriation of property.

Rep. Phil Roe, M.D. (R-TN): Restoring Local Control to K-12 Education
Since I was sworn in to Congress in 2009, I've proudly served on the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. A former mayor, I am keenly aware of the importance of our educators and school administrators. They shape the future of our communities, and their work greatly affects the economy, which is why I've made it a point to regularly visit schools around Tennessee's first congressional district.
Everywhere I go in the district, I hear from teachers, parents, administrators and students who all tell me that we need to return control of our education system to the local level. Many are frustrated by No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and worry about the Department of Education's attempts to control education policy by conditional waivers, leaving states and school districts with uncertainty and little control over their schools. I think we can all agree that NCLB was well-intentioned, but it has failed our students and made things more difficult for our educators.
I was honored to be asked to serve as a conferee for the House and Senate conference committee tasked with ironing out the differences in separate bills passed by the House and Senate this summer to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). I was glad to see strong bipartisan support behind the framework agreed to by leaders of the House and Senate Education Committees, and we have released the legislative text of the conference report.
One of my highest priorities in these discussions was bringing peace of mind to the parents and teachers I've heard from about the adoption of the Common Core State Standards Initiative. While these standards were developed in a process that began as a state-led initiative, in recent years concern has increased as the Department of Education has required states to adopt these standards as a condition for receiving federal grants or relief from the punitive mandates of No Child Left Behind.
The House bill took away the department's ability to require Common Core as a condition of federal grants, which ensures the decision on whether or not to adopt Common Core will truly be left up to the states — as it should be — and I am proud that important language was included in the final bill, known as the Every Student Succeeds Act. The bill also protects local control by prohibiting the secretary of education from adding any new requirements on states and schools not required in law.
By preserving local control and protecting state decision-making power on Common Core, we're making things easier for school districts to do what works best for them. As I've said before, just as a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for healthcare reform, it does not work for education. Each state, school district and student are different, and local administrators, teachers and parents — not the federal government — should make decisions based on what's best for their students.
While this bill is imperfect, I truly believe the conference committee has reached a strong agreement that reflects conservative priorities in education reform, priorities such as reducing the federal role and restoring local control. Make no mistake: A vote against this bill is a vote for the status quo that leaves the secretary of education with the power to coerce states into adopting Common Core.
On my way home after work just the other evening, I met a boy at the grocery store who was looking for some items on the shelves. He asked me for help in locating crushed pineapples because he told me couldn't read the words. I helped him and we found the crushed pineapples, but it hit me — this is why we want to invest in education. We have to have a system that ensures that boy and thousands of other children just like him are given the opportunity to succeed in life, and that starts with a good education.
A good education that gives his teachers and school administrators the resources and flexibility they need to educate students based on their own unique needs. Congress has a great opportunity to start helping that child and others like him by agreeing to the bipartisan, bicameral bill to replace No Child Left Behind, and I look forward to supporting the bill on the House floor.

Expensive Junk You'll Never Need.
Oddee just compiled their list of the top 11 most expensive junk items that you'll never need. This official platinum Hello Kitty figurine ranked #3 on their list, weighs a hefty 590g (1.3 lbs), and costs a mere $163,000. Only one set is available, so hurry before some spoiled Hollywood teen starlet buys it first.
Honestly, if I was going to sell my house for Hello Kitty paraphernalia (people do that, right?), I'd prefer the crystal Hello Kitty for the Rich shown here a couple days ago.

Traditional "Maciejówka" caps have West European origins, but are rooted deeply into Polish history. These elegant caps with round crowns and short bills, usualy decorated with band or twine are very similiar to classic breton caps and jewish fiddler caps.
Here you will also find a classic breton cap made with black corduroy (and few other color versions), inspired by hats of John Lennon.
Jewish fiddler caps, which you may also find here (remember Tevia?) have a brimm shorter and more pointing down than Maciejowka or breton cap and a little smaller crown.

The Gamakatsu Superline Worm Hook is built with the same quality and characteristics of the standard worm hook except that it is made with a heavier wire to handle the added stress of superlines. The ultra sharp point ensures good penetration on the hook-set every time and the strength of the wire is unmatched to any other hook. When you want to make sure you successfully hook your fish and then keep him hooked, it just doesn't happen any better than with a Gamakatsu.

The new "42" movie is now in theaters, and if you're looking for a reason to see it, here are nine to help you decide. The film tells the story of Jackie Robinson (played by Chadwick Boseman), who became the first African-American to play professional baseball when he made his major league debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.
1. It's baseball season.
"America's national pastime" is officially in full swing, and a night when your favorite MLB team isn't playing could be spent at the movies. Locally, the Syracuse Chiefs' home opener at NBT Bank Stadium is scheduled for 2 p.m. today, but the theaters are open rain or shine.
2. It's a piece of history.
Though Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) says he signed Robinson for "business reasons," he changes the sport forever in the opening scene when he announces he wants to sign a player from the Negro Leagues. As the first black player in what had previously been in all-white league, Robinson changed the nation during a time when segregation and racial inequality was the status quo. Jackie Robinson's daughter Sharon tells The Advocate of Stamford does a good job of highlighting the prejudice her late father faced, adding that it could help people discuss the need for equal rights for blacks and other minorities.
3. The reviews are good.
The New York Daily News called it "a sports film nonsports fans can love; it's a family film that never preaches; it's a biopic that also takes in the world and people around its subject." Moviegoers at an advance screening in Alabama said, "If you are a sports person, and particularly a baseball fan, you've got to see it." (Some critics, however, say the film is safe and "predictable.")
4. Jackie Robinson will forever be tied with Syracuse baseball's past.
Before his major league debut, Robinson played in the minors for the Montreal Royals in 1946, then wearing No. 9. He said the Syracuse Chiefs gave him the worst time of any team in the International League, Sean Kirst writes, but today he's honored with a portrait on the outfield fence at the former Alliance Bank Stadium. Rolling Stone's Peter Travers says the film's depictions of racism are so moving it "makes me want to take a bat to everybody that was bad to Jackie Robinson, and everybody who's bad to me. And I think you should have that same kind of feeling."
5. Boseman is a familiar face to Syracuse sports fans.
The actor made his big screen debut as Syracuse University football great Floyd Little in 2008's "The Express," the Ernie Davis biopic starring Rob Brown and Dennis Quaid. Near the end of the movie, Davis goes with Coach Ben Schwartzwalder (Quaid) to recruit Little to attend SU. Nicole Beharie, who also starred in "The Express" as Davis' girlfriend, plays Robinson's wife Rachel.
6. Harrison Ford as Rickey.
The man best known as "Indiana Jones" and Han Solo plays the forward-thinking boss who hand-picked Robinson to be the first player to break baseball's color lines. Ford, 70, is earning praise in his role as the man who's credited with telling No. 42 "not to fight back" as players (including some of his teammates) and fans would abuse him verbally and physically.
7. It's about time we had another great baseball movie.
The most recent film on Baseball Almanac's top 10 baseball movies list is "The Sandlot," which celebrates its 20th anniversary this month. Similarly, The Post-Standard columnist Bud Poliquin's top five sports movies of all time include "A League of Their Own," "The Natural" and "Field of Dreams" -- but when's the last time a sports flick made us feel like those did?
8. Everybody loves a great bromance.
Vibe magazine is praising the team's integration as feeling very natural: "As the pro-ballers assimilate to Robinson's inclusion, bromance eventually kicks in and even makes for a warm and fuzzy awkward moment in the locker room." The cast includes "Scrubs" star John C. McGinley as broadcaster Red Barber, Lucas Black ("Sling Blade," Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift") as player Pee Wee Reese, Christopher Meloni ("Law & Order: SVU") plays Dodgers manager Leo Durocher and Alan Tudyk ("Firefly," "Suburgatory") as Philadelphia Phillies manager Ben Chapman.
9. What else are you going to do?
March Madness is over. Orange football and basketball don't return for months, and lacrosse had its moment last year with "Crooked Arrows." Now it's baseball's time to shine on the big screen, and as April showers continue (to bring May flowers) it's a good time as any to spend a night out at the movies.
The movie "42" opens Friday at Regal Destiny USA Stadium 17, Regal Shoppingtown Mall Stadium 14, Regal Great Northern Mall, Auburn Movieplex 10 and theaters nationwide.

Vulture: Your New Source for Conservative Humor
Here is the funniest clip we could find from 1/2 Hour News Hour, now canceled.
When we heard that Fox News is canceling (or possibly just "retooling") the wretched 1/2 Hour News Hour, their answer to The Daily Show, our first impulse as meta-purveyors of entertainment was to dig up some genuinely funny quips, gags, or jokes about liberals to slake the thirst that Fox could not. We know such humor must exist, but damn if you can find it online without getting lost in a morass of "Bushisms" (the liberal-humor equivalent of the lowly pun). Only Ann Coulter gave us a giggle, with her old quote, "If John Kerry had a dollar for every time he bragged about serving in Vietnam — oh wait, he does." Here, then, is the funniest clip we could find from 1/2 Hour News Hour. —Nick Catucci

FREDERICTON,NEW BRUNSWICK — FREDERICTON, New Brunswick -- The Baltimore Skipjacks outshot the Fredericton Canadiens, 48-27, but ran into a hot goaltender for the second night in a row and lost, 5-1, last night.
Canadiens family connections did all the damage. John Ferguson Jr., whose father played for the Montreal Canadiens and was general manager of the New York Rangers and Winnipeg Jets, scored a pair of goals, including a short-handed winner at 11 minutes, 56 seconds of the second period.
Gilbert Dionne, whose brother Marcel was in Los Angeles having his number retired by the Los Angeles Kings, added two goals for Fredericton, and Patrick Lebeau, whose brother Stephane plays for the parent club in Montreal, had the other goal for the home team.

HONG KONG, Aug 25 (Reuters) - French insurer AXA SA is cutting about 250 jobs from its information technology (IT) operations unit in Hong Kong, as part of a cost reduction exercise, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter.
Under the restructuring programme, AXA is setting up one IT centre each in Manila and Kuala Lumpur, said the sources.
AXA plans to hire a total of about 400 people for these two new centres, one of the sources told Reuters. Currently, all of AXA's Asia IT operations are managed out of the Asian financial hub of Hong Kong, the source said.
The sources declined to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media about the internal restructuring.
"AXA Asia constantly reviews its business practices to improve our product offering and service to customers," said Europe's second-largest insurer in an emailed statement to Reuters.
"We have built a strong Asia technology platform and are working on improving those capabilities, which will involve the rebalancing of some roles in the region." (Reporting by James Pomfret and Sumeet Chatterjee)

Can People Lose Weight by Drinking Iced Tea?
The beverages you choose to drink can make a big difference in your weight-loss efforts. Opt for high-calorie drinks and you may find yourself gaining weight instead of losing it, since it isn't hard to consume hundreds of extra calories in a day through beverages. This doesn't mean you have to stick with just water. Some other calorie-free beverages, including unsweetened iced tea, may have weight-loss benefits, especially if you use them to replace higher-calorie beverages.
Video of the Day
Hold the Sugar
A 16-ounce bottle of sweetened iced tea contains about 180 calories, so it isn't likely to help you lose weight. However, unsweetened iced tea is a calorie-free beverage, making it a diet-friendly way to slake your thirst. Squeezing a little lemon juice into your iced tea will add flavor without a lot of calories if you don't like your tea plain.
Go for the Green
Opt for iced green tea over iced black tea since it may have more weight loss benefits. Beneficial antioxidants called catechins appear to be at least in part responsible for the small weight-loss benefits provided by green tea, according to a study published in the "International Journal of Obesity" in September 2009. The processing of black tea lowers the amount of these catechins by changing them into other compounds, making green tea a better source of these nutrients.
Catechins and Caffeine
Caffeine increases fat burning, and thus weight loss. Drinking an iced tea that combines both the catechins in green tea and caffeine may improve your weight loss results, according to a study published in "The Journal of Nutrition" in December 2008. This effect may be greater if you don't usually consume a lot of caffeine, note the authors of a study published in "Obesity Research" in July 2005. The combination of catechins and caffeine may counteract the decrease in metabolism that sometimes accompanies weight loss and increases the amount of energy you burn, according to an article published in "Physiology & Behavior" in April 2010.
Diet Soda's Downside
Switching from drinking a 20-ounce non-diet soda to an unsweetened iced tea could save you 227 calories. Trading a whole-milk latte for an unsweetened iced tea could save you 265 calories. Drink two or three fewer sodas each day and it may be enough to generate the daily 500-calorie deficit you need to lose a pound a week. While unsweetened iced tea doesn't save you any calories compared to diet soda, it doesn't contain all the chemicals in diet soda, making it a healthier option for dieters. Although research results are conflicting, the artificial sweeteners in the diet soda may also lead to weight gain, according to an article published in "The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine" in June 2010.

Naked man's bomb threat closes Caloosahatchee Bridge
Deputies shut down the Caloosahatchee Bridge early Tuesday after they found a naked man walking southbound on the bridge claiming there was a bomb inside his car.
The bridge is now open.
Around 4:30 a.m., the Lee County Sheriff's Office received a call about a suspicious person.
A white, male subject was described as not wearing clothes and waving his hands with raised arms as he walked along the middle of the Caloosahatchee River bridge south of Yankee Beach in North Fort Myers.
Upon arrival, deputies found the man and wrapped him in a blanket. He told deputies his vehicle had a bomb, indicating it was rigged to blow.
The Southwest Florida Regional Bomb Squad was notified and responded to the scene.
Deputies found suspicious items inside the car that looked like they could be part of a bomb but they've confirmed there is no bomb.
The bomb squad used a robot to scope out the car.
"I would rather see them go through this 100 times than to see what could potentially happen," said Southwest Florida visitor Michael Arvay.
The naked man was Baker Acted and taken to a local mental health facility.
His name has not been released, but deputies say he has a violent criminal history.
"He has alcohol and drugs in his past and some domestics violence too," said Lt. Larry King.
Deputies believe he was living in his car.

Macro Photographer Teresa Franco Shares Her Best Phoneography Tips!
Scenario: A ladybug turns your shoulder into its new resting spot. What do you do?
Some might say Make a wish. Teresa Franco? She'd say Take a photo.
Snapping a photo of something so tiny can be a challenge. Do not let your camera phone deceive.
You can use your phone to get great macro shots of the tiniest objects, from crystal-ball-esque dew drops on a leaf to a caterpillar snacking on a blade of grass.
Teresa Franco is living proof. Have you seen her macros? They're the best of the best on Instagram!
We asked her how she does it, and she shared all her favorite phone lenses, apps, and tips for getting fantastic photos of nature's tiniest details.
So the next time a bug takes a liking to your shoulder, you'll be set.
Phoneography Tips with Teresa Franco
Who's Teresa?
Teresa first caught our eye with her undeniably legit macro skills.
Once we realized she wasn't using a DSLR or a 3-piece lighting setup — that was when we were really impressed.
Teresa's a nursing student who happened upon her awesome talent for macro while perusing Instagram one day.
That's when she discovered the Olloclip, a three-in-one phone lens that lets you shoot fisheye, wide-angle, and macro photos on your phone.
When she's not studying up on medical stuffs, she's chasing grasshoppers and fungi to get the best macro photos ever.
The advantage to shooting macro on your phone?
Its small size and light weight makes it very easy to maneuver around tight spaces like under a tiny mushroom or between blades of grass.
It also allows me to free up one hand to use to stabilize a flower or a branch when it's windy.
What's in your phoneography camera bag?
- Microfiber lens cleaning cloth — gotta keep my lenses clean
- Snacks
- My iPhone
- Squidcam, Photojojo, and Olloclip macro lenses
- I love my i.Trek Super Mount (a phone tripod adapter). I use it by itself. It's great for stabilizing your iPhone when you're very low on the ground.
- iPhone charger
- iPhone earphones with remote
What apps do you use? Do you edit your photos?
My go to camera app is Camera Awesome (for iOS).
It has a "Fast Burst" option that comes in very handy when I'm taking photos of flying/jumping/crawling bugs. I also love that you can lock in the focus. I use both of these features all the time.
The biggest problem I have with macro photography is lighting. So when I edit my photos, I usually just increase the "brightness" in Snapseed (works for both Android & iOS).
I also like VSCO CAM (iOS) and Vintique filters (iOS). I try not to edit my photos too much because I lose a lot of important details.
How many shots does it take to get that one photo?
Before, I used to follow a bug and blast the camera button like crazy and just hope that one of the hundreds of photos that I took will come out decent.
Now, I'm more patient and can usually anticipate their next move. I'm proud to say that I can take 1-3 photos of a bug and walk/run away very happy.
Your top 3 fave Instagrammers?
- @tanaka_tatsuya creates miniature worlds using household items and tiny little figures. I just want to shrink myself and live in his world.
- @alozor lives in the same city as me, but when I see his photos, I always think "Where in San Diego is this??" "I've been living here for fifteen years, how come I've never seen this??". He also knows when and where to catch the best California sunset.
- @movable takes us behind the streets of Shanghai. He knows how to make grungy post-apocalyptic street alleys look so elegant.
What are your top 3 macro things to shoot?
I love sharing photos of the little things in nature that people don't usually pay attention to. Photographers tend to go for the most colorful flower.
I want to show people that beauty can be found in the most mundane. My favorite subjects:
- Little seedlings and sprouts
- Dry petal curls
- Mushrooms- there's something magical about them
Your advice for aspiring macro photographers.
Don't be discouraged if your first few photos come out blurry.
Everything in life takes practice.
If you want to take photos of flying/crawling/hopping bugs, experiment with different camera apps that have fast shutter speeds.
Have patience. A lot of it! I promise it will yield rewarding results.
So like, any extra editing tips?
I would suggest to try as much possible to keep the tones of your photos consistent.
It makes for a pretty and attractive gallery. If you like using filters, use photo editing apps such as "Vintique" that let you adjust the settings of each filter — that way you can still make a style of "your own" even when you're using pre-set filters.
Your top 3 places to shoot macro photos.
If I want to take photos of mushrooms, usually go to the park early in the morning before sunrise.
I also love going to local nurseries because they have a wide variety of flowers, plants, and trees on display.
The best thing about living in California is that there is green EVERYWHERE you go, all year round. If you're ever in San Diego and you see a girl with an iPhone out in public on her elbows and knees, it's probably me.
How do you get out of a creativity rut?
I look at photos of my favorite photographers — Instagram, Flickr, online portfolios, photography books.
I also love watching sci-fi and japanese animation. Hayao Miyazaki is definitely the inspiration behind my whimsical photographs of moss forests and toadstools.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It's the battle of the beer cans.
Staten Island's Budweiser distributor is claiming in a lawsuit that it's being crushed financially by a bottle and can redemption center in Stapleton that's piling on tens of thousands of cans, many of them "stolen," so it can collect 8.5 cents per container.
R. Ippolito Distributing in Richmond Hill, the borough's Anheuser-Busch distributor, is accusing J&B Redemption Corp. and its owner, Billy Lam, of redeeming 72,000 Anheuser-Busch cans a week, even though many of those cans aren't sold on Staten Island.
Lam and his lawyer are calling those claims a fantasy, saying that the distributor simply doesn't want to pick up the empty cans and redeem the deposits, which it's required to do by law.
Under state law, customers who buy certain beverage cans and bottles in New York can return the empties to a store or a redemption center to receive a refund on their 5-cent deposits.
That initial 5 cents per bottle is collected by a distributor or "deposit initiator" from a retailer. The retailer charges 5 cents to the customer, and the customer gets the 5 cents back from either the retailer or a redemption center when the bottle is returned. The redemption center or retailer gets its 5 cents back from the distributor, plus another 3.5 cents as a "handling fee."
If the bottles and cans don't get returned, the distributor is allowed to keep 20 percent of the deposit, with the rest going to the state.
Ippolito's lawsuit, which was filed on Dec. 20 in state Supreme Court, St. George, claims that J&B notified the distributor on Sept. 20 that they'd be redeeming 300 bags, or about 72,000 cans. Those bags contained "a substantial amount of beverage containers for Anheuser-Busch brands which Ippolito does not sell," including 10-oz. Bud Light cans, which aren't sold on Staten Island, the suit alleges.
The redemption center then notified Ippolito that they'd be redeeming the same amount, 300 bags, on a weekly basis, according to the suit.
Based on what the lawsuit describes as "lack of vehicle and foot traffic" around J&B's 440 Front St. business, Ippolito alleges that it's "impossible" for the center to collect 300 bags a week legally.
Rather, it accuses the center of "unlawful schemes" -- buying people's empty containers for less than the 5-cent deposit, buying containers that have been stolen from recycling bins, buying from bulk sellers who sell more than 2,500 containers at a time without filling the proper paperwork, and traveling off Staten Island to collect containers.
Gary Ettelman, Ippolito's lawyer, said that J&B's operation could potentially put Ippolito out of business. "They're talking about a lot of money," he said.
Lam, meanwhile, calls the 72,000 cans-a-week number a fiction, adding that the state Department of Conservation checked out his business, and found nothing wrong.
"It's a false claim," Lam said. He opened his business on Aug. 13, and Ippolito didn't pick up its cans for redemption until November, which is why 300 bags had accumulated.
"It's not like we're redeeming more than what he sells," Lam said. "If we redeem more than what we sells, that's a problem... but we don't."
Rather, Lam and his lawyer, Lilia Factor, contend that Ippolito simply doesn't want to pick up the cans, and forfeit the part of the deposits it can keep if no one returns them.
"Ippolito simply claims that the redemption center is asking them to redeem too many containers and then speculates as to various fictional theories on how this can be. If they provided regular pick-ups, as the law requires, they would probably have to redeem roughly 80 bags per week," Ms. Factor said.
She said she suspects Ippolito wants to drive Lam out of business to avoid picking up the cans and redeeming the center every two weeks, as it must do by law.
"The issue of the 10 oz. cans is a red herring. Anyone can go to my client's redemption center and see for themselves that everything is being done according to law and that the overwhelming majority of the beer containers are Ippolito's."
Even if some cans turn up that Ippolito doesn't sell, the distributor can even deduct its costs from its payment to J&B, or get reimbursed by the company that does sell those cans, she said.
"Note that Ippolito is the only distributor who is waging war on this redemption center and illegally refusing timely pick-ups and payment," Ms. Factor said.
She said that J & B has filed a complaint with the state DEC, and plans to file counterclaims in court.
DEC officials did not return a phone call seeking comment.

It's been awhile, mainly because I haven't known where to start or what to share. I've been busy working a crazy new work schedule with hours all over the map; realising the depth of my adrenal fatigue and seeing it's effects on my energy… Stimulants no longer work so I have to actually slow down and fix it! Now, there's an idea ;-)
Been feeling really disheartened honestly, feeling like I've made no progress and had nothing of value to share. Overwhelm has also been present, still just have so many issues going on and have been trying to connect the dots and deciding what to address first. I had a good few months after the last round of antibiotics but it feels like I've regressed, feeling like I did 6 months ago and it's not a fun place to be.
I've been taking supplements for the MTHFR gene mutation, started working out again (kind of), been taking adrenal support and trying to keep my diet as basic as possible to avoid reactions (semi successful). I haven't taken any pharmaceutical meds (apart from pramin for nausea and a very occasional temazepam for sleep) since December as I wanted to give my gut a break.
My GP wants me to do the ALCAT test for food reactivity but at $550 I'm putting it on the back burner. I've read varied reviews on it and I haven't read anything solid about the accuracy of it's results - so I'll leave that as a plan B.
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth has taken the forefront (SIBO), it's nastier than I first expected. There are so many foods I can no longer tolerate, constant brain fog, bloating and tummy pains. Sleep is up and down, nausea comes and goes and constipation and acne are still constant. Thankfully I've found a great health coach who I'm working with on this issue specifically (Angie Alt).
My coach has been wonderful so far and I'm hopeful, but after 2 strong rounds of antibiotics for Blastocystis that didn't work I'm a little doubtful. I guess I don't want to set myself up to be disappointed again. But Angie has travelled this road twice before herself and working with someone who has done the hard yards, not just read about them, is reassuring.
So today, instead of sharing my own views and researching I wanted to collate a page of all the resources I've found invaluable the last few months in hopes that it may save you some time and hopefully assist you in connecting your own dots.

Impressive, but I'm holding out for genetically engineered cows that produce milkshakes. Good writes:
These cows were bred by inserting human genes into cloned cow embryos which were then implanted into surrogate cows. The plan is to have this milk in supermarkets within three years. China is well ahead of the Western world in terms of its comfort with genetically modified food. But let's think about this. Could consumers get past the Freudian weirdness of drinking breast milk in the name of nutrition?

Last year's instalment of EA Sports' table-topping football franchise was one of the most successful ever.
FIFA??13 shifted an astonishing 4.4 million units in its first week on sale, and there have been well over two billion games played online.
How do you top that? The answer would appear to be evolution rather than revolution.
Most of the major improvements announced at FIFA 14's first public reveal centred around them tweaking existing gameplay elements to ensure a more realistic and – crucially – satisfying experience.
Producer Nick Channon burbled excitedly about the need for players to truly enjoy scoring goals again, and to this end his team has set about improving build-up play in order to "take away cheap goals".
Taking on board feedback from the FIFA community, they've concentrated on improving midfield play to put an end to the "ping-pong football" that often dominates matches.
Improved defensive marking will also help, with revamped AI telling players when to stay tight, when to drop off, and even when to hunt in packs if the opposition look like they are struggling.
Over-reliance on speedsters should also become a thing of the past because improved ways to shield the ball mean that the stronger players will now have their uses too.
It's a feature that is also available for use in defence to hold off troublesome forwards, or in midfield where a tap of the left trigger can simply remind your player to put his body between the ball and his opponent.
When it comes to actually sticking the ball in the net, new ball physics, flight paths and shooting styles mean that it will be possible to hit low-rising howitzers or Gareth Bale-style knuckle shots that wobble in the air.
Equally, if you mistime your arrival at the ball then it could just as easily result in a humiliating scuff as the game engine will no longer "snap" a player into position to shoot.
Initial impressions are good but long-term FIFA fans could be forgiven for wanting more than mere refinements.
Mention of either next gen consoles or next gen features were conspicuous by their absence, and perhaps that's where the game-changers will come.

As 2015 draws to a close, a number of iconic adult beverage brands are feverishly implementing strategies to reinvigorate sales in the new year. Captain Morgan's launch of Cannon Blast in September positions the brand to appeal to the Fireball Cinnamon Whisky crowd, while Bacardi USA is targeting Millennials with a new advertising campaign that launched in October for Bacardi rum. The most recent leading brand to enter the repositioning fray is Bud Light with its first packaging redesign in eight years announced in mid-December. The new packaging involves prominent placement of the brewer's "AB" crest on the label intended to invoke heritage and quality, as well as a new, more contemporary logo for the largest beer brand in the world. The all-blue design will roll out in early spring 2016, and is part of a broader comeback play that will kick off with a new ad during the Super Bowl.
This flurry of activity reflects the relevancy crisis facing these well-established brands. The way Millennials and Gen Z are embracing craft beer, micro-distilled spirits, next-level flavors and hybrid products while also pushing back against mass-produced products has negatively impacted numerous top brands across adult beverage. To stem the tide of decline, many brands are strategizing to re-establish relevancy with the key younger consumer demographic. This is no easy task as Millennials and Gen Z require high levels of authenticity, quality and flavor, all at an accessible price.
Retailers and on-premise operators need to stay on top of these brand repositioning programs, as the level of effectiveness may impact traffic and sales in their locations, for better or worse. These moves should also inspire operators to assess their concepts' relevance to today's consumer. Does your store or restaurant's branding align with your target customer's values, interests and preferences or is it dated and tired? Do key features, service elements and product selections appeal? Are you on top of not just what's now, but what's next in adult beverage? Rather than just watching these well-established brands reach for relevance, operators need to also ensure that their value proposition appeals to an increasingly discerning and demanding customer in order to achieve success in 2016 and beyond.
