Institution, iconic, famous these words are too often thrown around with little thought.
After 93 years, Lamb's Grill Café truly deserves these accolades. Nearly a century of longevity is a triumphant achievement for any business, let alone a restaurant, where life spans are usually far shorter.
The Tribune reviewed Lamb's, Utah's oldest continually operating restaurant, back in 2007. Back then Mary Brown Malouf commented on Lamb's old-school approach and comfortable familiarity. Skip forward five years, and downtown is undergoing a significant transformation. Change has come to Lamb's, too, after the restaurant welcomed both new owner Francis Liong and head chef Matt Barrigar in late 2011. With all that in mind, how much has Lamb's developed since 2007?
The restaurant space is thankfully as much a treasure now as it was when last reviewed. The interior's grand setting harks back to a time when dining was an occasion. The space has buckets of charm, thanks to grand wooden booths, a sumptuous bar (the restaurant has a full liquor menu) and vaulted ceilings. Servers dash around in classy attire, matching the starched white tablecloths on nearby tables. The menu remains pleasingly unpretentious. Don't expect foams or fusion. Much like the space, the food speaks to a certain era: grilled calves liver ($11.95) anyone?
That isn't to say the new chef isn't making his mark, albeit in careful steps. An appetizer of bacon-wrapped dates ($6.75) I sampled on a recent visit was a new addition four skewers each providing a mix of salty, sweet, smoky and earthy tastes. A plate of perfectly deep-fried calamari ($7.50) was also enjoyable, served with a garlicky aioli.
Regulars will be glad to learn much of the familiar menu remains. Breakfast is still served six days a week, making Lamb's a perfect early-morning destination. Favorites, ranging from a classic eggs Benedict ($8.95) to chicken fried steak ($9.50), remain on the menu, but the throwback dish Finnan Haddie has apparently had its day. Lunch ticks all the right boxes, too, with sandwiches, burgers, wraps, salads and soups, mostly priced comfortably under $10.
During a recent evening dinner, I was impressed enough to request cooking pointers from the kitchen. While the lamb shank ($18.95; Thursday lunch special, $11.95) had increased by four dollars since The Tribune hailed it as a standout dish, it's still worth every penny. After our wonderful waiter checked with the kitchen, I discovered the generous piece of lamb was braised for five hours at 300 degrees and the resulting piece of bone-in shoulder was ridiculously tender. The beef bourguignon ($17.95) was also chock full of tender, rich beef bathed in a red wine-based sauce.
While a couple of dollars pricier than 2007, a grilled chicken breast ($15.95) in Dijon mustard now comes bone-in, and as a result was plenty juicy. Entrées are served with a starch and the vegetable of the day, but substitutions are handled with ease. For example, at our request, a serviceable side of french fries came to our table with simply a nod and smile, in lieu of the standard mashed potatoes.
Desserts lean toward the heavier side, with options such as chocolate cake ($6.95) and New York cheesecake ($5.50). While the locally famed rice pudding ($3.50) remains. I was steered to the crème brûlée ($5.25) by our waiter, and despite a less creamy custard than I'd prefer, the fantastically crunchy shell still made the dessert a real treat.
While everything must evolve and grow, it's gratifying to see the new owner and chef respecting Lamb's traditions and moving forward at a respectable canter, rather than a downright sprint. Much has clearly evolved in the world of dining since Lamb's opened, and whether the downtown institution will still be here in another hundred years is anyone's guess. That said, as I left the restaurant on a Saturday evening, I looked around the restaurant two-thirds full and the happy faces told their own story. There seems to be plenty of life left in Lamb's Grill Café.

Google Play Store brings Android UI to the web
0. phoneArena posted on 15 Jul 2013, 21:21
If you used the Google Play Store web portal today, you may have noticed that the UI looked a whole lot more like the Android app. Google updated the UI of the web portal for the Play Store this evening, and put the word out around 7:30PM EST. The idea behind the redesign is to make it easier to discover new apps...

Google should iron out the kinks and bugs before they force a major change like that onto users. Look at how much space is left. They certainly can do much better than that.
That's not adding in some of the other issues the article refers to.
2. Whateverman (Posts: 3291; Member since: 17 May 2009)
I agree. They should have done a better job of using more space. This is almost as bad as iTunes 11. That thing is a mess! I use to love making CD's because of how easy it was to drag and drop. But now it's just a pain.
3. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)
I don't see what iTunes has to do with anything in the article.
4. moroninc (Posts: 193; Member since: 14 Jul 2012)
He just made a reference to iTunes, take a chill pill
5. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)
A reference to iTunes in an android article. Looks more like a cheap potshot.
7. moroninc (Posts: 193; Member since: 14 Jul 2012)
your just playing into his hands then, really going to take a shot at anyone who makes a slight reference to Apple?, his point is his opinion we all know what Android is capable of...
12. Cyberchum (Posts: 874; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Can't you guys just ignore this hurt arse, you all know he craves for nothing but attention?
13. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
No cheap potshots from you. *rolls eyes
8. Whateverman (Posts: 3291; Member since: 17 May 2009)
Paranoid much? I agreed with you, and just stated a similar experience I had with itunes 11. What's wrong with that? Thats where I go to get apps for my ipad. See the parallels yet?
10. brokenchains (Posts: 17; Member since: 28 Nov 2012)
"See the [parallels] yet?"
Oh no, he hinted at an app created by a third-party for an Apple operating system! Curb-stomping time.
11. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
He was just comparing it with another bad redesign. Cool down, it's a relevant comparison.
6. bugsbunny00 (Posts: 2214; Member since: 07 Jun 2013)
looking good google..
9. Andrewtst (Posts: 686; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Bad do! When I click My Apps, it just stuck there for quite sometimes before appear!
14. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
Wasted space isn't nearly as bad as the article makes out, the upper left boxes stay in place when you scroll so it's not like the entire screen is being wasted. Other than that, it's more unification of their ecosystem, no complaints here.

Edwin Legrand Sabin was born on December 23, 1870 in Rockford, Illinois. Before he was a year old, his father, the educator Henry Sabin, moved the family to Clinton, Iowa. Edwin Sabin grew up in that river town and graduated from Clinton High School in 1888. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa with Phi Beta Kappa honors. Sabin then went to work as a reporter for various newspapers in Iowa and Illinois. In May 1893, he joined an expedition to the Bahamas organized by Charles C. Nutting, a professor of zoology and curator of the University of Iowa's natural history museum. Sabin resumed his newspaper work upon his return. While working in Chicago, he met Mary Nicole Nash. They were married on October 7, 1896.
Sabin began publishing poetry and short stories in nationally known magazines around the turn of the century. His work appeared in The Chautauquan, St. Nicholas, Country Life, and many others. In 1902, he wrote his first children's book. Slowly his attention began to focus on the West, and encouraged by his publisher he turned his talents in that direction. His western historical fiction was highly researched and he was proud of its accuracy. He and his wife moved to La Jolla, California in 1913, so he could be closer to his subject matter.
The years 1913 --1931
were fruitful ones for Sabin. His books for boys were being published and received
critical acclaim. However, he was hit hard by the Great Depression. He tried
to sell his services as a writing consultant and even tried to establish a correspondence
school for aspiring writers. These schemes failed, as did his attempts to publish
his own work. The public's taste had changed and his western stories, with strong
moral lessons of good and evil, were no longer in vogue. Sabin died on November
24, 1954, completely destitute -- a ward of the county.
The following is an inventory of the papers of Iowa author Edwin Legrand Sabin, 1870 -- 1952. It is arranged in six series: 1) General subject files, including correspondence, 2) Household and legal documents, 3) Sabin's published manuscripts, 4) Typewritten and holograph manuscripts, 5) Typewritten and holograph manuscripts written using his pseudonyms, and 6) Miscellaneous files containing scrapbooks, oversize items and ephemera.
Appendix I is a list of six pseudonyms used by Mr. Sabin. Only four of the names can be documented. There is nothing definite on the manuscript E.P.N. that establishes it as Sabin's work and there is also some doubt as to the authenticity of Annie Lyman Palmer. The mailing address on the manuscript's submission page is not one generally used by Sabin. The manuscript may have been submitted to him for criticism.
Appendix II is a list of alternate titles. Some of the stories are word-for-word the same, but use a different title. Other stories, such as the Courage Is the Word group or the River Town group, are re-writes of the same basic story. Occasionally, as in the Bull Creek group, the complete copy is known by a different name from that of its rough draft.
To aid the researcher, it should be noted that the bracketed page numbers on the rough drafts refer to the corresponding pages in the complete copy. Although no guide has been drawn up, a close study of the manuscripts reveals that several of the short stories are chapters which have been lifted from the longer works.
The manuscripts in
the group which includes Report from Anthony's Nose are probably autobiographical.
The correspondence folders contain letters from characters named in the story,
such as C. P. "Scoop" Chase and James and Donald Leslie. Reference to other
characters can be found in the River Town research folder. A more complete
account of the life and literary accomplishments of Edwin Sabin can be found
in an article by Phillip D. Jordan in Books At Iowa, Number 22, April

National Study of Private Ownership of Firearms in the United States, 1994 (ICPSR 6955)
Principal Investigator(s): The Police Foundation
This data collection consists of a survey of private ownership of firearms by adults in the United States. Respondents who both did and did not own firearms were included. The variables cover topics such as the number and type of guns owned privately, methods of, and reasons for, firearms acquisition, the storage and carrying of guns, the defensive use of firearms against criminal attackers, and reasons for and against firearm ownership. Basic demographic variables include sex, age, education, and employment.

Scope of Study
Subject Terms: firearms, gun ownership, handguns
Geographic Coverage: United States
- 1994
- 1994-11--1994-12
Unit of Observation: Individuals.
Universe: Adults living in the United States.

Study Purpose: To learn more about the role of firearms in crime, the National Institute of Justice sponsored, through a grant to the Police Foundation, a nationally representative survey on private ownership and use of firearms by American adults. The research covered topics such as: (1) the size, composition, and ownership of the nation's private gun inventory, (2) methods of, and reasons for, firearms acquisition, (3) the storage and carrying of guns, and (4) the defensive use of firearms against criminal attackers.
Study Design: The Police Foundation contracted with Chilton Research Services to conduct the survey. Minimums were established for the number of completed interviews with racial minorities and gun-owning households. Such households were more likely to be included in the final sample. Weights were calculated to adjust for this design feature.
Sample: National probability sample.

lmaooo this shit made my ass laugh so fucking hard
oh my god those balls are huge!
i wonder if he has any kids
Wow. I am not sure if I'm turned on or repulsed.
Aaaaand Boom goes the dynamite
It would suck to have balls that big...I'd be afraid I'd hit them on something just walking around. I mean...come on...they're the size of fucking baseballs.
AHAH shit he mustve been wanted to jack off for the past 2 years. that takes commitment. i wouldnt be able to hold my cum til my balls got that big.
I'm like not going to toss off for a coulple of days and see how much i can store up !
this is the hottest thing i have every seen the only way it could be better is if there were more guys masturbating
we all wish we could shoot a load like that.
I'll be the preace-bringer here.
It's a (somewhat dangerous) technique some people use, and a solution in injected into the penis.
And he releases it, the solution is shot out and it brings on an orgasm.
Just so everyone is clear. That's NOT his own cum.
those are like tennis balls!i agree,disgusting!
this can't be real o_O
wow thats enough to fill 10 XL condoms
This was both interesting and nasty. I couldn't turn away, I just had to see what would happen. But with balls like that, what do you exspect to come out. Thank you for posting.
!? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! What was taht!?@?$?# I mean, holy shit it was like a fucking geyser.
Heh fakest thing ever.
Cum isn't stored in the balls anyways, so the balls wouldn't skrink as you cum. It's stored up inside your body. Sperm however is made in the testicles, but not stored in them.
It's just like those scary movie scenes where Cindy is always blasted in the face. HA! Eat that Wayans family!
Will the cum end?
ok this is going to make me sound like a kid but
is that not a normal cumshot then....
coz mine is like that and i thought it was normal
dat shit is just plain nastay
u cn actually see his balls shrink in size hahahahaha
There she BLOWS!!!
His cum looks like a volcano. except more whiter.
that is just stupid lol... his balls are like the size of baseballs ,
Pretty amusing actually. I can't even piss as much as he just shot :P
That is fucking gross. Good Lord.
Jesus Christ! You would expect his balls to be the size of peanuts after that.

Of the 500 projects submitted at the National American Indian Science and Engineering Fair—held March 24-26 in Albuquerque, New Mexico—fifth grader Taylahni Jackson, of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, took first place for her entry in the Physics and Astronomy category.
Her project was titled "Depth of Field: Pinhole Lens versus F2.5 Large Format Lens," which demonstrated her understanding of the optical properties known as "circle of confusion" and "depth of field." To do this she developed photographs from two camera lenses—one a pinhole lens she built and attached to a 4 x 5 view camera, the other a World War II era Aero Ektar f4.5 lens, also on a 4 x 5 view camera—and compared the photographs.
Taylahni attends Theodore Jamerson Elementary School (TJES) in Bismarck, North Dakota and had previously won the North Dakota Native American Science Fair, which qualified her for the national event. To enter, she had to write a scientific abstract using at least five literary sources and her project had to meet Intel International Science and Engineering Fair standards.
"I plan to attend again next year," Taylahni said. "It was fun to meet people from all the United States and Ontario, Canada. I saw projects from all over."
Taylahni's science coach was Mark Anderson, TJES Gifted and Talented instructor.

A day after calling for initiatives to bolster American manufacturing during his State of the Union speech, President Barack Obama addressed workers at an engine parts plant in Arden Wednesday, touting the plant as a model of innovation and adaptation.
A day after calling for initiatives to bolster American jobs during his State of the Union speech, President Obama addressed workers at an engine parts plant in Arden Wednesday, touting them as a model of innovation and adaptation.
Speaking before several hundred employees of Linamar Corp. and their guests, Obama used the plant's retooling from a shuttered Volvo plant to a reinvigorated parts supplier as proof of manufacturing's resurgence.
"That's the American story," Obama said, standing on a podium flanked by engine blocks machined at Linamar. "We don't give up. We get up. We innovate. We adapt. We learn new skills. We keep going."
Obama used the Arden appearance to plug several initiatives he pushed during Tuesday's State of the Union speech, as well as an excuse to grab some 12 Bones barbecue on his way to the airport.
He called on Congress to help his administration set up 15 "global centers of high-tech jobs and advanced manufacturing around the country," modeled after a pilot project in Youngstown, Ohio. Three such manufacturing hubs will be set up by executive order.
The president also wants Congress to eliminate tax breaks for companies that move jobs and profits overseas, and reward companies that keep them at home by lowering the effective tax rate paid by domestic manufacturers – "in-sourcing," he called it.
After shedding jobs for more than 10 years, Obama said U.S. manufacturers have added 500,000 jobs over the past three years. He cited Caterpillar — which Linamar supplies parts to — moving back from Japan, Ford bringing jobs back from Mexico and Apple making Macs again domestically.
"Because just as it's becoming more and more expensive to do business in places like China, America is getting more competitive and more productive," the president said.
Obama's appearance struck a chord with Linamar's workers, who swarmed around him to shake hands and take photos following his 15-minute speech, which ended around 12:30 p.m.
Rosman resident Mark Shipley, who started at Linamar as a machine operator last June, was hoping to bring his wife to see Obama's speech, but she fell ill and couldn't make it.
"She was wanting to be here for this moment," Shipley said, a camera at the ready around his neck. "This is pretty cool. The only people that are allowed to be here are employees and family members."
His friend, Steven Blackburn of Etowah, was working for another area manufacturer as a temp. But he wasn't happy there, he said.
"I'd been there a year and a half trying to get on with them," Blackburn said of his former employer. "I put in for this at the (AB Tech) job fair in October and started work in April. It's been great."
Both Shipley and Blackburn work on the plant's CNC machines, computer-aided machining equipment that has revolutionized modern manufacturing.
"We do motors for Volvo," Blackburn said. "We do all the machining on the blocks: drilling, milling, tapping. Once it leaves our doors, it's ready for Volvo to assemble for 6-cylinder tractor-trailers, dump trucks."
Canadian-owned Linamar is in the process of expanding its plant, adding $75 million in investment and hiring an additional 250 workers. Blackburn speculated the renovated plant may have provided the perfect backdrop for a presidential talk on jobs.
"Maybe that's a reason he's focusing on us, because we're a growing company," he said. "I think we're all blessed to have him come and visit our company. It's awesome."
Blackburn's brother, Doug, who lives in Dana, was also hired on with Linamar as a parts washer and packer after he saw the pay and benefits his sibling was getting. He, too, left a temp job at another area manufacturer — Meritor in Fletcher.
"It was a blessing from God," his wife, Valerie, said as she waited for the president to arrive. The couple was struggling financially before Linamar's offer, she said.
Obama cautioned his audience that "we're not going to bring back every job that's been lost to outsourcing and automation over the last decade." He referenced his earlier tour of Linamar, where he saw computers at use that help the company produce more engine parts with fewer workers.
But many hard-hit manufacturing towns can be revitalized, he said, if local officials partner with federal resources to attract new investment.
"Because once the investment starts coming in, things start turning around. And that means infrastructure gets modernized and research facilities get built, and suddenly a community that was knocked down is getting back up, and they're attracting new manufacturers who want to come and expand and hire," Obama said.
During a conference call with reporters before the speech, Director Gene Sperling of the president's National Economic Council said Obama's budget would include $6 billion in tax credits to help downtrodden communities attract new manufacturers to replace lost ones.
The president also pushed his proposal to create a "Community College to Career Fund" as a way "to help our workers get the training to compete for the industries of tomorrow." The goal is to train 2 million Americans with skills that lead directly to a job, and he used Linamar's partnership with AB Tech as an example of how customized, on-the-job training can work.
"It's good for Linamar, because they're getting workers who they know can do the job," the president said. "It's good for the folks who are going to the community college, because they know if they work hard and they do well in class, there's a job waiting for them."
On his fourth trip to the Asheville area, Obama hinted that he and his wife like the area so much they might consider retiring here.
"Michelle and I always talk about how after this whole presidency thing, we're looking for a little spot to ... come on down (to)," the president said coyly. "Play a little golf, do a little hiking, fishing, barbecue."
Two student leaders from West Henderson High, student body President Collin Armstrong and senior class President Zachary Chokr, got a front-row view of the president's speech, thanks to Principal Dean Jones' connections.
"He came up before he went up to the podium and shook our hands," Chokr said, describing the experience as "something I'll never forget. It was a pretty big moment."
