My life is full of unfinished projects, unrealized ambitions, "I would love to do…." but never dos. I am getting kind of tired of it. And I realize with the upcoming arrival of Rocket, that I am going to have even less time to do the things that I want to do. Or so I think…. Is that really going to be the case, or do I just need to learn to prioritize the things I want to do with the things I am expected to do? Hmmm.
These are just a few of the projects (I don't even think I could name all the ideas I have had) that I have started within the last year or two that have fizzled out like a bad sparkler. All of these were started with the best intentions (as all projects are) but, died sooner then they deserved to.
1. My second knitting project:
A hat. This was started only a few weeks ago. Seemed simple enough. I worked vigorously on this for about four days. You know where it is now? Sitting in a plastic bag underneath my kitchen table. I don't even remember where I left off in the pattern. So now I will have to start over….again. (It's only my second knitting project. Having to unravel it a few times was inevitable.)
2. 100 small abstract paintings series:
I thought this would be a breeze. Hell, I finished half the paintings in one weekend!
But alas, this project has also, now, sat dormant for almost a year now. Where does the creative energy go?
3. Selling handpainted or altered journals:
Again, I bought piles and piles of these journals to enhance with my own personal touch. I only finished about five of them. Certainly not the kind of supply required to have a successful market.
4. Painting ANYTHING on the sheet of watercolor paper sitting upstairs:
Yep. The name of this bullet point pretty much says it all. I have a pristine piece of watercolor paper leaning against my piano, upstairs. Every time I see it (which is often as I play the piano on a daily basis) it begs me to mark it brutally with a pencil and then tell it, "I am sorry, that was a mistake." After which I will stroke it tenderly with a paint brush. All before lighting half of it on fire…because it just needed a bit of scorching on the edge. Yet, it is still sitting in the same place I left it after picking it up in a creative whim…..five months ago.
Why does this happen? Why can't I get myself to do the one thing in life that I love more than anything? What is it that is holding me back? I see all these creative people through the blogs that I read and in the people I am surrounded by. You would think that I would be inspired! Oh and I am! I quickly run out and buy a myriad of supplies. But once I get home, I am filled with doubt. Like my work will never be as moving or profound as theirs. Or, I don't know what I want to say with this piece, what if someone wants me to explain it and they think I am a fraud because I don't have an answer?
Maybe I also set my expectations to high? So instead of deciding to do 30 paintings, I should just set out to do at least one. I think I am on to something here! It's all about being realistic! I get it. Set out to do something that you know you can accomplish. If you are able to go above and beyond that, great, but if not at least you won't feel like a big fucking failure. BRILLIANT!!
Thanks for helping me reach that epiphany. I needed that.
Now I am off to start that painting :)!

Belle's Hot Chicken, Melbourne's wildly popular Nashville-style joint, will open a second location in January 2016. The new Richmond venue will offer much of the same fare as the Gertrude Street original, but with a few sinful additions—and we'll never complain about fried chicken sandwiches and cornmeal-coated mushrooms.
Courtesy Belle's Hot Chicken
Owner Morgan McGlone is making Belle's drink menu longer—and more approachable. While the original outpost only served natural wines, the sommelier will start offering a wider variety. There will also be more beer choices—but still no craft stuff (McGlone isn't a fan). The selection of bourbons and scotches, which he discovered on a recent trip to Tokyo, will be his foray into more surprising sips. Belle's Hot Chicken will open in early November at shop 1/107 Swan St., Richmond, Victoria.

Low and slow American barbecue is making its way across the pond as well. Mississippi-born chef Brad McDonald has expanded on the success of his Southern joint, The Lockhart in Marylebone, when he opened Shotgun in Soho this fall.

The menu focuses on classic barbecue (using British meat as much as possible) and, of course, a whole lot of bourbon. Shotgun is now open at 26 Kingly Street, W1B 5QD.

Famed Noma chef René Redzepi will relocate his Copenhagen restaurant to Sydney for ten weeks in late January 2016. The pop-up will be located in the new harbor-side development Barangaroo (pictured), which was designed by Richard Francis Jones, one of Sydney's leading architects.

Noma chefs plan to rely take advantage of the local seafood and produce. Case in point: The team dives for fresh seaweed in Tasmania to use in recipes (pictured). Forget farm-to-table—this here is ocean-to-table. Information about bookings can be found on Noma's website.

American expat Daniel Rose, the wunderkind behind Spring and Spring Buvette, purchased the historic second-arrondissement bistro La Bourse et La Vie and gave it a major makeover. The decor evokes 18th-century glamour, from the traditional bistro chairs to the blue velour entry curtain.

The menu dives deep into French comfort food: veal pot-au-feu, steak frites, oysters in crème fraiche, cheesy spoonfuls of Époisses. Consider this the official comeback of the bistro de luxe. La Bourse et La Vie is now open at 12 Rue Vivienne, 75002 Paris.

Representatives from Bond Architects, and Hastings & Chivetta outlined various concepts for the Board's review with the goal of beginning to identify and prioritize desirable facility characteristics.
Representatives from S.M. Wilson, the construction management agency selected for the development stages of this project, presented cost ranges for the concepts presented. In addition, a representative from the company selected as the district's financial advisor for this project, Sentry Financial, presented general information regarding funding options.
The Board will consider this information as administrators gather input from the community over the next few months. The information gathered during this community engagement phase will assist the Board and administration in narrowing to a single concept, so that more specific designs and estimates can be developed. Additional community engagement opportunities are planned for the fall.
Bid Approvals for Summer Capital Projects. Dr. Buckner outlined two projects for which the district has developed requests for proposal. One is to replace the cooling towers at Conway Elementary School and Reed Elementary School which were installed in 2002 and are becoming unreliable. The other is to replace curbs, sidewalks and drives at Ladue Middle School. The bid award recommendations for these projects will be brought to the Board at the April 27, 2015 meeting.
2015-2016 Administrative Salary Structure Recommendation. Dr. Jahnke and Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources Ken Rossics outlined the process recommended for determining administrator salaries for the 2015-16 school year using ranges for each position based on salaries being paid for similar positions in comparable school districts. Going forward, the administration and Board will work toward developing a sustainable systematic way for increasing administrative salaries at a competitive level over time.

Ever hear your children say something like that? Especially during the summer? After school ends and before summer camp takes place?
Water is kind of a big deal. Having clean water is an even bigger deal. Access to clean water can be a real challenge in some parts of the world. This is where Pure Water, Pure Love comes in.
Here's a tough question: How much are the kids you teach each week learning about missions? Unlike public education, in the missions classroom, we don't have a series of tests we administer to determine how much children are learning.
Have you ever felt burdened by the woes of the church? I know I have. It seems like every morning there's some new scandal or financial indiscretion plastered all over the daily news. Sometimes the weight of it all gets a little hard to handle.
Electronic forms of communication such as email, text messaging, FaceTime, and Skype have greatly diminished traditional means of communication. Letters are becoming rare. However, for the person receiving such a treasure, the response is still the same—joy!

Imagine this conversation between a pastor and a WMU director:
Pastor: "You know, I've been thinking about our missions education program. I'm concerned that we spend too much money on curriculum and missions products."
I recently traveled to Seattle, Washington, for the Northwest Baptist Convention's CM52 conferences. I led a series of conferences about kids' missions discipleship and spent time hearing about children's ministry work in the Pacific Northwest.

I found myself stuck in the dentist's chair today when the radio station that had started so well (Quiet Riot is great for major dental work, btw) betrayed whatever trust I had given it & played John Lennon's Imagine. I LOATHE that song. I was really aiming to go through the rest of my life without hearing it again. Ever. Now I'm back to day 1. What got me through it was fantasizing having a time machine and erasing the song from existence.
Every fantasy began with the Tardis. Because of course.
I must have spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to erase an idea from existence. How to make him forget how to play it? Because clearly I'd burn all copies ever in a fire. Or many fires. All recordings and notes would be thoroughly destroyed. But how to get the originator of the idea to never have the thought in the first place???? That's a tough one. Is it a fixed point in time? Does it really have to happen? Because I say no. No it does not.
It can be destroyed.
If you had the power (i.e., a time machine) what silly little thing that may or may not make you crazy would you change? destroy? eliminate from existence? If you can't make it go away completely, what would you fight with every fibre of your being? (silly responses only, please. There are many problems throughout history that we'd all change if we could, but this post is only for the odd ones that most people wouldn't think about.)
Also, happy birthday, Mr. Hiddleston. We will celebrate later.

Black Month, Black Week: The Adagio Makes Way For An Elegy
Valentin Silvestrov composed Elegy for String Orchestra, which is dedicated to Marina Kapitsa, between 2000 and 2002. Kirill Karabits led the premiere in Kyiv, Ukraine, Future European Union, on September 15, 2002.
"When my father [conductor and composer Ivan Karabyts] died in 2002, he left a sketch of what he was writing during the last weeks and days of his life. Composer Valentin Silvestrov picked up some of the melody from ... the unfinished lines, and called it 'Elegy.'

Small Groups are a great way to connect with other people from our church for friendship, bible study, prayer, and serving. Some of our groups talk about the previous week's sermon using a discussion guide and others study a book of the bible or a Christian book. Our groups meet in homes and at the church throughout the week and some of them even have childcare.
We have a connection event at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semester for our groups. The next one is scheduled for Wednesday, September 4 at 6pm at Providence in the Fellowship Hall. You'll get to hear all about what a small group is and you'll get to meet some of our current groups.

Aussie Bull Catchers
HD / 10 x 30'
Ronde Media for ABC Australia
Every year, during Australia's dry season, a handful of brave men and women make a living catching feral bulls and buffalo. One of the most dangerous jobs on earth, it's high-risk, high-reward work, with a hell of a lot of deal-making. It all starts in the air, as the bull-catchers fly choppers over the Outback searching for feral bulls and buffalo. Then a deal is struck with the landowner: in exchange for access to land, bull catchers share the profits they make from selling the bulls in the cattle market. This is a place like nowhere else on earth, and welcomes you to a world you've never seen before – the world of Australia's Outback Bull Catchers.

Soldiers return to their base following an operation in Kalmunai, Sri Lanka, on Monday. AP
Kithsiri De Silva, the head chef at Sri Lanka's venerable Kingsbury Hotel, walked through the main restaurant during breakfast Sunday, greeting diners and surveying the extravagant buffet. He would have seen, he thinks now with dread, the guest who moments later detonated a suicide bomb in the middle of the dining room, one of a coordinated sequence of blasts against hotels and churches.
Sri Lanka last Thursday lowered the death toll in the attacks to 253, saying there were so many body parts in the aftermath of the eight blasts that authorities had committed a "miscalculation" when they said 359 had died.
The bombings claimed by Daesh — among the world's deadliest terrorist attacks in recent years z— have shattered Sri Lanka's fragile recovery from civil war and threaten to undo a decade long effort to make its economy friendlier to tourists and foreign investment.
"It will affect us for a minimum of a year," said De Silva, who survived the blast without serious injuries. "We have to clear the entire country, make sure security is in place, then people might come back. It is a big blow to tourism, to be sure."
The country remained on edge as police released the names and photographs of six suspects — including three women — and asked for the public's help in apprehending them. But an already confused government response got even more muddled when one of the photos turned out to be of a Maryland Muslim women's activist, Amara Majeed. Officials withdrew the photo and said they regretted the error.
The US Embassy warned that "terrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in Sri Lanka" against tourist sites, transportation hubs, places of worship and other locations, as security forces conducted search operations across the capital, Colombo. Four days after the attacks, panic flared again as many hotels and businesses ordered staff members to remain indoors amid reports that suspects were at large and possibly armed.
Three people arrested in Colombo were found in possession of swords and a cache of locally made grenades, a police official said; that brought the number detained in connection with the attacks to over 75.
"The whole country is a bit nervous, searching for these suspects," said Pushpakumara Ratnayake, a security officer at the Cinnamon Grand hotel, one of the three high-end hotels struck in the bombings.
In a sign that the government was worried about religious tensions spilling into more violence, the minister of Muslim religious affairs, Mohamed Hashim Abdul Haleem, appealed to Muslims not to gather at mosques for weekly prayers on Friday but to worship at home "as a sign of solidarity with the Catholic community and a show of protest against the barbaric act of the ruthless terrorists." Muslims account for about 10 per cent of Sri Lanka's 21 million people and Christians slightly fewer; the majority of Sri Lankans are Buddhists.
A leading organisation of Muslim clerics called on its faithful to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and asked women not to wear the Islamic face veil, or niqab, so they could more easily be identified by security forces.
Authorities have said there were nine bombers, all believed to be members of an offshoot of a small Sri Lankan Islamist group. They took aim at churches and luxury hotels, emblems of the diversity and hospitality that this island nation has successfully marketed to lure a growing number of overseas visitors.
At least 39 foreigners were killed in the attacks, police said. Many Sri Lankans worry that their country — having replaced a wartime reputation for suicide blasts and curfews with images of beachfront villas, national parks and tea estates that shimmer in brochures — has once again become synonymous with terrorism.
The $4 billion tourism industry accounts for about 5 per cent of Sri Lanka's total economy and is its third-biggest source of foreign exchange, after remittances from overseas workers and textile production. About 1 million people are employed in the industry, accounting for 12 per cent of the total workforce, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council.
The country drew 2.3 million visitors last year, 10 per cent more than in 2017. Before the start of 2019, the Lonely Planet travel guide christened Sri Lanka the year's No. 1 destination, gushing over "its mix of religions and cultures, its timeless temples, its rich and accessible wildlife, its growing surf scene and its people who defy all odds by their welcome and friendliness after decades of civil conflict."
Though the Kingsbury and Cinnamon Grand have reopened, the third central Colombo hotel to be attacked, the Shangri-La, remains closed indefinitely. One industry leader predicted the tourism industry could lose as much as $1.5 billion as guests cancel bookings, tour companies search for alternative destinations, investors reassess business meetings and conferences are called off.
Kishu Gomes, chairman of the Sri Lankan Tourism Development Authority, said it was too soon to tell. But he acknowledged, "There are losses reported on a daily basis."
Hotels that were still operating had reintroduced "wartime security measures," according to the Daily Mirror newspaper, including X-ray baggage scanners at entrances and more extensive security checks for guests.
The Kingsbury bomber stayed at the hotel the night before the bombing, De Silva said. "We found him on CCTV footage. He came down for breakfast," De Silva said. "He actually stood in the buffet line."
The US, Britain, Australia and Canada issued travel warnings to their citizens after the attacks. China, an increasingly influential investor in Sri Lanka that now accounts for 10 per cent of its foreign visitors, warned its citizens not to travel here because of the "huge security risks" involved, the Chinese Embassy in Colombo said on its website.
Sri Lanka's government tourism authority said this week that security forces and tourism police were implementing measures to safeguard all visitors and important sites. "Our world famous tourism sites, hotels, resorts and other tourist attractions will remain open as usual," the statement said.
Despite the growth in tourism, Sri Lanka's economy was struggling before the attacks because of political turmoil, a depreciating currency and high debt. After former President Mahinda Rajapaksa took out infrastructure loans from China at high interest rates, some estimates say Sri Lanka's total foreign debt now equals three-quarters of its entire economic output.
Economic growth slid to 3.2 per cent in 2018, according to the World Bank, one of the lowest rates in southern Asia. The government sold a majority stake in a strategic port to Beijing and sought a $1.5 billion loan program from the International Monetary Fund to help cover its debt obligations.
"Things were already quite fragile for the Sri Lankan economy," said Muttukrishna Sarvananthan, an economist and founder of the Point Pedro Institute of Development. "Tourism has been one of the only successful industries during this government, and that is one of the setbacks that will be felt not just immediately, but for months and years."
Sri Lanka's police on Wednesday named nine people who staged Easter Sunday suicide bombings that killed 253 people, and said the attackers' assets will be confiscated in line with anti-terror laws.
Police on Monday said they had found 87 bomb detonators at a Colombo bus station, a day after a string of attacks on churches and hotels that killed nearly 300 people.
Three of the four children of Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen were killed in the Easter day attacks in Sri Lanka, a spokesman for his clothing retail group Bestseller said on Monday.

we believe that every student
should have access to healthy food during the school day
- our history
- mission and vision
- our core values
- our Burlington partner schools
- our Oakville partner schools
- our Milton partner schools
- our Halton Hills partner schools
- our board of directors
- our staff team
Halton Food for Thought has been feeding Halton students for over two decades.
Our history isn't uncommon; a grassroots group of people who identify a problem and come together to form a solution. In this case, one of the strongest groups you can have behind your cause: Parents. These Parents noticed that not every child at school had food in their lunch box or that many kids had food that didn't contain enough nutrients to fuel their minds and bodies for learning. In 1997, the parents came together and formed an advisory committee to oversee the first 6 official Student Nutrition Programs in Halton. Fast forward to 2007, just ten years later, and HFFT became an incorporated, registered, charity with its own Board of Directors and 63 programs. As of July 2019, HFFT has partner programs in 130 schools, providing more than 79,000 Halton students access to healthy food at school. We have over 2,100 volunteers (including 1,060 students) and dozens of community partners who all work together to feed students in their communities.
Our new Mission and Vision statements are the grounding force behind the work we do in the community and create momentum for the future.
In the spring of 2014, we set out to revive the agency. We wanted to realign ourselves with our cause and ensure all of our work was unified toward one goal. Our Mission and Vision are the core of our values and fuel all of our work in the community.
No student goes hungry at school.
In partnership with the community, we feed students healthy food so they can succeed.
Halton Food for Thought's Core values not only demonstrate what we stand for as an organization, but also guide our work and impact in the community.
With our new Mission and Vision statements in place, we wanted to rebuild the values by which we would strive to reach our goals. The following values were chosen purposefully to represent our beliefs and actions as we work to see our vision become a reality.
We will use compassion, empathy and concern in our interactions at all levels and in our daily operations undertaking our Mission and Vision.
We affirm the dignity, the potential and the contributions of everyone involved in the agency both internally and externally.
We will not only pursue honorable initiatives, but we will conduct business in a way that is honest, transparent and ethical.
Student Success
We believe in the value of learning for all students and strive to provide opportunities for students to achieve their academic best. By feeding our children and youth we allow them to succeed academically, physically, mentally and socially.
We value partnership and collaboration as a means of reaching our vision. We will enter into strong partnerships that will bring value to our mission and strengthen the community in which we serve.

I have over 20 years of experience in health, children's health, social services and charity work and am excited to bring my passion to this mission.

I am committed to helping our volunteer coordinators and school administrators run programs smoothly and effectively to ensure no student goes hungry at school.

There are so many reasons kids are not eating enough healthy food and I am fortunate to be able to help ensure "no student goes hungry at school" as part of my job every day. Favourite HFFT Mascot and why: My favourite HFFT Mascot is Abi Apple because apples are one of my favourite snacks. I also see apples as the most diverse food item used in all three of our programs.

The more I learn about Halton Food for Thought's partnerships within the community and local schools, the more passionate I become about ensuring "no student goes hungry at school"! Favourite HFFT Mascot and why: My favourite HFFT Mascot is Ollie Orange because when I was a child my family owned a rabbit we named Ollie.

Huawei's problems dealing with President Trump aren't getting any easier. But the company continues to produce astonishingly good smartphone hardware, really knocking it out of the park when it comes to innovations, attractive design, great build quality and outstanding battery life. There are few companies that can match Huawei for all those factors.
The latest handset, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, has been announced and is now on sale in the company's home market of China, though it has yet to be released in Europe, where no firm date has been set for it to reach the shops. It looks like it could be the most advanced smartphone released in 2019 which, since phones just keep getting better, means it has the potential to earn the title of the best phone ever. Until something better comes along.
But the U.S. trade war with China has put Huawei on the Entity List which clips a company's wings when it comes to doing business with America. This meant that when the Mate 30 Pro was revealed, it came with basic, open-source Android and not the more advanced Google Mobile Services to which we've become accustomed, including Google Play Store, Gmail and Google Maps.
A few days ago, a Huawei insider told me that adding these apps was a piece of cake, a quick, reliable and straightforward operation that led to a wholly successful and feature-rich smartphone. So simple that almost anyone could do it.
But now, in various reports picked up by the estimable 9to5Google, it seems things may not be quite so simple.
Until now, the installation was made possible thanks to an app, called LZPlay, available from a Chinese website, but LZPlay.net has now been taken offline and those who have downloaded it are finding it behaving differently, suddenly. So those Google services are suddenly not going to be easily added any more.
Does this mean it's game over for Huawei?
Far from it.
This is such a fast-moving situation, that there will be, I predict, another development in a matter of days. And, let's remember, the phone is not yet available in the West, so Huawei can take its time to get things working properly, even if they are not there yet.
It seems that those users who have sideloaded the apps are now having mixed results. Many apps are working just fine, thank you, but some are reporting issues. Some of the users are members of the tech press, like Damien Wilde, for instance, from 9to5Google.
He has tweeted that Google Pay is no longer working, saying, "Considering this was working less than 2 days ago, this is not good."
So, what's happened?
John Wu, an Android security researcher, reckons the most plausible explanation is that "Huawei had remotely revoked their signature." You can read his full thoughts at Medium.
What Wu writes suggests to me that Huawei has other plans.
Who knows what this means? Maybe Huawei wants something better than the LZPlay option offered – and the company has said it's not working with LZPlay, having told Android Central: "Huawei has had no involvement with www.lzplay.net."
Perhaps Huawei is biding its time – after all, no definite release date has yet been announced.
And some commentators, including John Wu, believe that the LZPlay solution could have proved insecure if other security vulnerabilities arose further down the line. In which case, Huawei may well be waiting for a better solution.
Steve Jobs often used to talk about hackers trying to jailbreak the iPhone as being part of a cat-and-mouse game.
Things have changed since then, but I suspect this story has a long way to go, with ups and downs, forward steps and reversals along the way. The door may be shut, but could as easily spring wide open again. Huawei may yet find a workaround, perhaps a more solid one than LZPlay offered.
This is a very fast-moving story, so please check back for details of further developments.

Delicious steak. Prepared as it should be. I had the Hanger (Onglet) steak and it was perfect, served with just a little olive oil and sea salt.
by Nick De Clercq
Very pricey but some of the best beef cuts I've ever had. Try the porterhouse...
by Christian H
Slow service, loud music, inflexible dish modifications, overpriced
by Christoph S.
Start saving for the $70 dry rubbed NY strip or, better yet, the $152 fiorentina!

Mario Bataliâs beef-driven CarneVino boasts a gourmet lunch burger covered delicately in pancetta, onion, and gorgonzola or cheddar.
by CNTraveler
While plenty of steakhouses in Vegas are good, we particularly like Mario Batali and Joe Bastianichâs Carnevino, which puts an Italian spin on the traditional chophouse.

If price is not an issue, and you want the best. Its definitely the place to go!

Best oysters ever. Beyond imagination

Good steakhouse but not the best in Vegas. Had the 8 month dry age strip steak. It was good but I didn't think it was deserving of the prices. Filet was good. Great wine selection.

Be sure to order mashed potatoes with egg... They put on a fancy show with it right at your table

Sit in the wine room and let the sommelier call the shots. He's talented and incredibly knowledgeable.
by Brian T.
The aged steak that they are known for is great, juicy, and tastyâbut not worth the price. Save the money and go to Mon Ami Gabi for the exact same thing.
by Lenny G.

by Tony E
It ain't cheap but the bone in rib eye is superb!!!! And ask the bar to make you a drink...mine was a jalapeño infused blood orange with Tequila....if you can't take the heat...
by Glenn D.
For salo lovers. They have salo (pork fat) spread.

by Amie T.
Possibly the best steakhouse in the world... The dry-aging program is second to none. Every component of every dish just stelar!

Really fabulous Bood Orange Cosmo. Arugula salad paired with the house cured meats plate is a perfect pairing! Wrapped a bit of arugula and cheese with the salumi and it was divine.

The Bucatini All'Amatriciani and the chopped salad are amazing. Go back every year for that meal!

Oh, and it turns out the freakish 100 hz heavy bass line that sounds like a low rider gone wrong is intentional. WTF. I'll never go back. This place will be gone soon unless they fix things.
by Dave B.
Post-meal Update: Sides and appetizers were great. Steak was underwhelming. Too tough for the price. Mine are better at home.
by Dave B.
Don't go after 9:00. The subwoofers from the club upstairs will pound your head into the consistency of lard. Otherwise, good experience.
by Dave B.
Ribeye and cocktails at the bar, do it!
by Doug Z.
Excellent! Especially bone-in ribeye steak. Have to try
by 'Reyhan T.

Order the bone-in rib eye. Dry aged for two months, incredible flavor. Dish is meant for two.

They dry age steaks for six to eight months, bringing out the flavors of these pieces of beef you can order by the inch. The pastas and Italian dishes are some of the best in town. [Eater 38 Member]

Eat the lard. It's good for you.

VERY Disappointing. VERY expensive.
by JamesBrownInMiamiâ¢
By far one of the best prime ribs and NY strip steaks I've ever had.
by Rachel M.
Overrated stake. It tastes great if you can get past how raw it is after supposedly being cooked. Most of our table left the middle of their stakes on their plate because they were still mooing.
by Noner
one of the best, most underrated places to eat in vegas. whatever you do, don't forget the amaro cart.
by Maria D.
Stay away. Embarrassing service and price. One steak served with big black hair on plate. Steak in photo was sent back twice...photo is "med well". Worst of all, no manager on duty, and no one cared.

Be sure to ask for Carlos if you want the absolute finest dinner experience!
by Vito G
Ask for Carlos to be your waiter. Excellent service from a man who is passionate and takes pride in his work.
by Corey Hickok
Rather than stress over the menu, just go with the Beef Tasting. At $95 a man it is a reasonable way to hit the menu highlights recommended by the chef himself.
by Bachelor10
Pure steak magnificence. If you consider yourself a steak connoisseur, you *must* get the aged ribeye. Warning - it's for two people (sometimes you can order for one). Ridiculously good beef.
by John P.
The hazelnut tart is awesome. Not too sweet and nutty.

Unleash your inner carnivore at Carnevino Italian Steakhouse at the Venetian in Las Vegas, NV, Mario Batali's take on an American classic.
by Food Network
Best filet ever!!! Also if you are lucky enough to see the pumpkin cheescake on the menu, get it!!!
by Rae Lynn McNeil
The steaks themselves get nothing more than a shot of olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary before hitting the grill, truly outstanding. But the quality comes as a cost. A porterhouse for, $160.
by GourmetLive
Beef is outstanding. Everything else was pedestrian, including the service.
by Matthew P.
Burger at the bar! Yummy! Burrata!
by Deborah S.
The best steak you will ever eat, period.

Order the lardo with your bread (instead of butter) - you'll never want butter again.

lucas is my fav bartender and they have a late night menu until 12am.
by Amy
Best porterhouse I've ever had. Ever.
by Derek F.
Do the beef tasting. $95/person, but phenomenal

Try Schneiders Aventinus beer, a rarely-found-in-the-US imported beer. If you like dark, German beer, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better one.

LOS ANGELES, February 24, 2012 – Crystal Cruises is a four-time winner in CruiseCritic.com's annual "Cruisers' Choice Awards" for 2012. Based on user ratings on the popular cruise industry website, the ultra-luxe line's Crystal Symphony cruise ship won Best Dining, Best Entertainment, Best Public Rooms, and Best Embarkation of all other cruise lines in the "small ship" (under 1,199 passengers) size category.
The ship also ranked in the top ten in six other areas:
- Overall
- Service
- Shore Excursions
- Value-for-Money
- Fitness
- Cabins
Whenever cruisers post a review on Cruise Critic, they are asked to rate their cruise experience in 11 categories, plus give an overall rating for the ship. Awards are based on a calculation of all ratings submitted for the previous year (2011), so no voting, polls, or editorial input is involved in the award outcome.
"These honors reflect the real opinions of actual cruisers, and the number one results speak volumes about our top-notch offerings in terms of culinary arts, entertainment, chic spaces, and ease of boarding and departure," says Thomas Mazloum, senior vice president of operations. "With top 10 scores in 10 of the 11 Cruise Critic categories, it's also clear that travelers who cruise truly believe Crystal excels across the board. It's particularly gratifying to be so highly rated here as our sailings are 'value-packed', with so much included in the Crystal vacation experience."
Until February 28, per-person "Book Now" fares for 2012 start at $1,945 for luxury Mediterranean cruises, $2,965 for the rest of Europe, $2,255 for a New England/Canada voyage, and $3,370 for Hawaii and the South Pacific region — all per person/double occupancy. Attractive air add-ons are available from more than 90 North American airports.
Crystal Cruises' ocean resort experience always includes a host of complimentary amenities, from enlightening enrichment speakers and fitness classes to pampering pillow menus and specialty restaurant dining, featuring the cuisine of Nobu Matsuhisa and Piero Selvaggio; beverages and gratuities will also be included starting in spring 2012. Crystal's passion for taking care of guests in an inviting environment of extraordinary space, quality and choices has earned the company more "World's Best" awards than any other cruise line, resort, or hotel in history.

In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
=== News Update ===
US death toll in Iraq – higher than you think
"The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour.
–George Orwell, '1984'
That is not to say that the lives lost in warfare are not welcomed by those who control the purse.
After all, dead men can't complain.
The US military confirmed today [October 18] that nine troops had been killed in fighting and bombings in Iraq yesterday, raising this month's death toll for American forces to 67.
If the rate of US fatalities continues at the same level throughout this month, it will make October the deadliest for coalition forces since January 2005, when 107 US troops died.
* * *
As of Sunday, Oct. 15, 2006, at least 2,766 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The figure includes seven military civilians. At least 2,198 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers.
Qualifiers like "at least" are there for a reason.
They enable the government to mislead the American people without actually 'lying' to them. There are other tricks of the trade that help our elected liars mask the high American death toll.
After all, it is a NUMBER and like all numbers, it can be 'tweaked' by simply modifying the 'accounting policies' used.
So, what's the REAL number of US soldiers who died in Iraq?
"The actual death toll is in excess of 10,000. [Given] the officially acknowledged number of over 15,000 seriously wounded (and a published total of 25,000 wounded overall,), this elevated death toll is far more realistic than the current 2,700+ now being officially published."
Don't believe it? This kind of discrepancy is NOT unprecedented.
The U.S. Veteran Dispatch had uncovered Pentagon records revealing that the United States suffered nearly 20,000 more fatalities during the Vietnam war era than the 58,182 servicemen whose names are engraved on the National Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
How do they manage to hide these figures?
According to a U.S. Army file called TAGCEN which contains over 293,000 Army casualty records, there are 19,644 U.S. Army servicemen who were killed or died between January 1, 1965 and December 31, 1975 that are not counted as Vietnam war dead because their death certificates were written in other countries, including the United States.
* * *
DOD Instruction 7730.22, ("Reports of U.S. Casualties in Combat Areas," January 20, 1967, and March 20, 1973) provided that the Vietnam casualties to be reported were all those occurring within the designated combat areas and those deaths occurring anywhere as the result or aftermath of an initial casualty occurring in a combat area. The current related document, Military Personnel Casualty Matters, Policies, and Procedures" DoD Instruction 1300.18, December 18, 2000, is simply silent on this critical matter.
* * *
[Moreover,] the official DoD count, which appears to undercount US casualties [accounts] for them only once the next-of-kin have been notified and the names publicly released. Casualties whose next-of-kin are not notified or cannot be contacted/located do not therefore appear to be counted in the official tally.
Additionally, an April 27, 2004, story titled "The Lasting Wounds Of War: Roadside Bombs Have Devastated Troops and Doctors Who Treat Them" by Karl Vick and published in the Washington Post, page 1, mentioned instances where US casualties, having suffered extensive brain-damage and with no prospect of regaining consciousness, are sent home for families to decide whether or not to terminate life support . . . It is not immediately apparent the extent to which these casualties are accounted for in the official DoD casualties count.
In a world that is all about numbers, acounting policies are like scripture.
But, since accountants are neither gods nor saints, when their policies are secret, you can be sure they're up to no good.
I'll leave you with a link to a video of US soldiers being killed in action, presumably compiled by those who kill them.
Warning – it's graphic and may be very painful for those who have loved ones serving.
It's provided as evidence that things are very ugly in Iraq – not just for Iraqis.
These are dark days for humanity.

Back in the african sky
Back in the african sky
I took off yesterday (18th October) from Springs (east of Jo'burg) from 5360 ft ! Density altitude more than 7000ft ! First time in my life !
Climbing rate very different than usual you can imagine !
Once at my cruise altitude I overflew the airfield and have shaken my wings to greet my engineer team on the ground.
The air is smooth and the visibility ok, I am feeling free and enjoy that moment back into the freedom kingdom.
After a wile, the visibility is decreasing, i am flying in a dense and brownish air unappealing but still in contact with the ground.
As soon as I left the Jo'Burg TMA, the sky appeared clear again.
Bright light, nice landscape, just enjoying the flight.
After more than one hour, thermals appear and I am surprised because it's only
9:30 am... but I forgot the the sun rise at 5:28 LT... must do the difference...
Eventually I reached the entrance of Bloemfontein Tempe zone and switch the frequency. Still air to air information, a nice pilot gives me the local QNH and the runway in use.
On downwind I hardly distinguish the very narrow runway: 11 metres wide, the exact width of my airplane!
Once at the fuel station, I am warmly welcome by Wikus, a «gentlepilot» who will take care of me all the rest of my time in Tempe. So helpful, interested, a real passionate pilot. I take the chance here to thanks him again, his help has been more precious than the one of any handling agent, he is a real friend !
About real friends, I must mention all the work that has been done on my plane by Raymond who came with me from Belgium to make the maintenance.
We had to change the battery and Jacques who took good care of my plane during the time I was back in Belgium found an excellent new battery at a incredibly good price !
I want to thanks again Gavin who offered me a place in his hangar since July, Jacques for his good care and good advices, all their staff, and Steve for his advices about my route.
This morning, Wikus, as a perfect gentlepilot, came to pick me up at my hotel at 06:00. I decided to wake up at 5:20 like I did during all flap 3, taxi at 6:00 and take off at 07:00 but I will try to advance all the timing of 30 minutes as the sun rises very early.
I took off with a high density altitude and Wikus recorded my take off... you will notice how long is my rolling!
After take off, I flew at 1000 ft AGL in a very smooth air with a GS of 94 kts.
The landscape offered me such magnificent views that I couldn't stop recording, taking pictures...
I noticed some lenticular clouds on a top of some hills and predicted wind and turbulences...
My prediction was right and the thermals above the hills very strong. I thanks my personnal coach to trained my biceps !
For a while the calm came back just the time to prepare my arrival at Graaff Reinet.
Nobody on the frequency, nobody on the field, I overfly the windsock and chose runway 22. The wind is not really strong but gusty. It is approximately in the runway axe...downwind, baseleg and final...but on final, I do not descend anymore, the thermals are so strong that I climb, idle and nose down !!!!
Once above the asphalt of the runway, it was worth... difficult landing and not nice... I still have to practise in this country !
Marius, who has been contacted by Wikus, is here ready to refuel my plane as promised.
I explained him that I saw a front coming and that I am not sure to take off tomorrow. He immediately confirmed my weather forecast and discouraged me to fly in such dangerous weather.
As I always listen to the local persons advices, I decided to stay here 2 nights but now, I know it will be 4 because of this cold front.
I am in a splendid guest house managed by Ria, very kind lady who came to pick me up at the airfield.
The little town is adorable and looks like a Dutch town.
After a deep briefing with Wikus, my South African Ground crew, I decided to wait here until Tuesday and continue my route as planned.
I will rent a car tomorrow and David showed me the safaris that I can do by my own.
There are museums and a little town not too far that has to be visited...
I will have also some times to write.
Stay tuned !

In the first nine months of 2017, Aeffe's consolidated revenues amounted to 235 million euros (273 million dollars), a 9.9 percent increase at current exchange and 10 percent at constant exchange rates. Revenues of the prêt-à-porter division amounted to 179.9 million euros (209 million dollars), up by 9.8 percent both at current and constant exchange rates compared with 9M 2016, while revenues of the footwear and leather goods division increased by 12.8 percent, 80 million euros (93 million dollars).
Commenting on the company's results, Massimo Ferretti, Executive Chairman of Aeffe said in a press release: "We positively look forward in the light of the results of the first nine months of the year, both in terms of revenue growth and more than proportional increase of profitability, also thanks to a 15 percent increase of the Spring/Summer 2018 orders' backlog. These results are very encouraging and, especially, confirm the validity of our long-term strategy."
Aeffe's performance across markets
In 9M 2017 sales in Italy, amounting to 49.3 percent of consolidated sales, increased 20.2 percent to 116 million euros (135 million dollars), due to organic growth both in wholesale and in the retail channel. At constant exchange rates, sales in Europe, contributing to 20.8 percent of consolidated sales, registered a 5.8 percent growth.
The Russian market, representing 3 percent of consolidated sales, posted a decrease of 0.2 million euros (0.23 million dollars) or 3 percent compared to the correspondent period of last year. Sales in the United States, contributing to 6.3 percent of consolidated sales, posted a decrease of 13.4 percent at constant exchange rates.
In the rest of the world, the group's sales totalled 48.2 million euros (56 million dollars), amounting to 20.5 percent of consolidated sales, recording an increase of 3.8 percent at constant exchange rates compared to 9M 2016, due to 16 percent sales growth in China.
By distribution channel, wholesale sales grew by 7.5 percent at constant exchange and 7.6 percent at current exchange rates, contributing to 70 percent of consolidated sales. The sales of directly-operated stores (DOS) increased by 18.4 percent at constant exchange and 18 percent at current exchange rates and contributed to 26.9 percent of consolidated sales. Royalty incomes decreased by 0.4 percent.
The group has defined a plan for about 10 new franchise openings by the end of 2017 to strengthen the presence of its own brands in Asia.
Aeffe reports improved profitability
In 9M 2017 the group posted an improvement in margins; consolidated Ebitda was equal to 30.4 million euros (35.3 million dollars), a 9.1 million euros (10 million dollars) or 42.9 percent increase. The company said, improvement in profitability was mainly driven by sales growth of both divisions. Consolidated Ebit was equal to 21.6 million euros (25 million dollars), a 76.9 percent increase over last year.
Profit before taxes amounted to 18.6 million euros (21 million dollars), an 8.1 million euros (9.4 million dollars) or 77.4 percent increase. Net result of the group was equal to 11.9 million euros (13 million dollars), a 7 million euros or 143.6 percent improvement.

During the warm summer months in Minnesota, it can be difficult to keep your landscape looking lush and vibrant. You can keep your landscape looking great with proper irrigation. The experts at Windsor will make sure that your landscape looks it's best even during the hottest times.
The Benefits of Our Irrigation Services:
When you install a landscape irrigation system, you will experience…
A reduction in water use. The installation of an irrigation results in less water use. Why? It is because irrigation systems do not use more water than what is necessary and that is why you save more water than you would with a regular watering approach.
Improved cost efficiency. Because you are not wasting any water, these systems result in reduced costs associated with water usage. They are programmed to conserve water.
Improved time efficiency. Because the system automatically waters your lawn, you will not have to worry about the hassle of doing it yourself. You can spend your time on more worthwhile adventures. In addition, the systems can be timed according to your needs.
A healthier lawn. The use of these systems leads to greener grass and faster plant growth. It leads to a reduction in weed growth as well.
