get down to brass tacks
Also, get down to bedrock or the nitty gritty or cases . Deal with the essentials; come to the point. For example, Stop delaying and get down to brass tacks, or We really need to get down to bedrock, or He has a way of getting down to the nitty gritty, or Let's get down to cases. The origin of the first phrase, dating from the late 1800s, is disputed. Some believe it alludes to the brass tacks used under fine upholstery, others that it is Cockney rhyming slang for "hard facts," and still others that it alludes to tacks hammered into a sales counter to indicate precise measuring points. The noun bedrock has signified the hard rock underlying alluvial mineral deposits since about 1850 and has been used figuratively to denote "bottom" since the 1860s. The noun nitty-gritty dates from the mid-1900s and alludes to the detailed ("nitty") and possibly unpleasant ("gritty") issue in question. The noun cases apparently alludes to the game of faro, in which the "case card" is the last of a rank of cards remaining in play; this usage dates from about 1900. Also see to the point.
go fly a kite
Also, go chase yourself or climb a tree or jump in the lake or sit on a tack or soak your head . Go away and stop bothering me, as in Quit it, go fly a kite, or Go jump in the lake. All of these somewhat impolite colloquial imperatives date from the first half of the 1900s and use go as described under go and.
on the right tack
Also, on the right track. Proceeding satisfactorily; also, following the correct line of reasoning. For example, He thinks the housing market is improving, and he's on the right tack there, or That's not exactly so, but you're on the right track. The first term alludes to the direction of a sailboat, the second to the direction of a path. The same is true of the antonyms, on the wrong tack and on the wrong track, indicating an erroneous assumption or course of action. For example, He's on the wrong tack for finding a solution, or The researchers were on the wrong track altogether when they assumed the virus was transmitted by mosquitoes . The expressions using tack date from about 1900; those using track date from about 1880.
on the wrong tack
Also, on the wrong track. See under on the right tack.
sharp as a tack
Also, sharp as a razor. Mentally acute. For example, She's very witty-she's sharp as a tack. These similes are also used literally to mean "having a keen cutting edge" and have largely replaced the earlier sharp as a needle or thorn. The first dates from about 1900, the variant from the mid-1800s.

get down to brass tacks, to/let's
To arrive at the heart of the matter. Some think this late nineteenth-century term comes from Cockney rhyming slang for hard facts. Another possible and perhaps more likely source is the American general store, where a countertop was marked with brass tacks at one-yard intervals for measuring cloth, and "getting to brass tacks" meant measuring precisely. Still another theory is that in upholstered furniture, brass tacks were used to secure the undermost cloth, and to reupholster properly one had to strip the furniture to that layer. A mid-twentieth-century American synonym is to get down to the nitty-gritty, alluding to the detailed (nitty) and perhaps unpleasant (gritty) facts of the case. It was borrowed from black English, where it signified the anus and alluded to picking body lice (nits) from that body part. This association had been largely forgotten by the time the term was popularized by the 1964 hit song "The Nitty Gritty" by Shirley Ellis.
right tack/track, to take/on the
To take or be on the correct course of action or reasoning. The first expression refers to the tack of a sailing ship— that is, its course when it is tacking (steering in zigzag fashion when sailing to windward). The word "tack" was being transferred to a course of action by 1675. The second term, which dates from about 1880, alludes to the direction of a path. Both have antonyms—on the wrong tack or track—denoting a mistaken course of action or reasoning.
sharp as a tack
Singularly keen or cutting; also, mentally acute. This simile has largely supplanted the earlier sharp as a razor, needle, vinegar, and thorn, the last dating from the fifteenth century and appearing in John Ray's 1670 proverb collection. The current cliché dates from the late nineteenth or early twentieth century and appeared in a 1912 issue of Dialect Notes: "They won't fool him; he's sharp as tacks."
The Dictionary of Clichés by Christine Ammer Copyright © 2013 by Christine Ammer
go fly a kite
Get lost! Kite flying is an activity that is done far less now than in previous centuries. Accordingly, "go fly a kite!" is heard far less than "get lost!" "take a hike!" and "get your ass out of here!" (or something stronger).
Endangered Phrases by Steven D. Price Copyright © 2011 by Steven D. Price


text: The issue of having separate swimming hours for females is not something that should be racial or targeted at a particular faith group, argues Dilly Hussain from the British 5pillars Muslim news website. Sweden's ideals of equality between the sexes, not to mention its ability to accommodate an increasingly multi-confessional population, are being put to the test after it was revealed that an increasing number of public swimming pools are due to have women-only hours. The move was supposedly to accommodate the growing Muslim population as Europe's migrant crisis continues. However, a probe has reportedly been launched into whether such initiatives actually discriminate against men. Well we can officially say it now folks, Europe has turned Islamic. The refugee crisis has gotten so out of hand in Europe, that government officials have now created segregated swimming pools to go along with Muslim heritage. The European Union has officially turned against it's people, by taking the side of Islamic refugees who have been nothing but violent with the people of Europe. Americas own version of the refugee crisis is slowly starting to increase, because just a couple weeks ago Obama stated he wanted to increase the number of refugees through the refugee resettlement program. So don't be surprised in America when local and state governments that lean mostly left, start to segregate women from men at places like pools, beaches, parks, and other places that are to long of a list. By giving in to this separation of women and men at local pools in Sweden, it goes to say one thing are all these refugees Saudi Arabian Wahhabist?

Hi All,
Having completed my apprenticeship as ghost writer for Jack, I think it is time now to introduce myself properly. My name is Duncan, I am 44 years old, married with a Son aged 13 and a Daughter aged 12. When I started writing Jack's Blog I did so as a way of giving an insight into what it was like for a family to live with Parkinson's Disease. I wanted to share the day to day things that are not always visible to people outside of our immediate family. I didn't want to come across as preaching or self pitying, because that is simply not me.
I was diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson's Disease 12 years ago. At the time I knew nothing about the condition, but needless to say I know a little bit more about it now. It has been a bit of a roller coaster ride, not just for me, but for family, friends and colleagues also, they didn't ask to come on the ride, but so far none of them have asked to get off either. Supporting me throughout, from the shock of the initial diagnosis, to helping me to finally learn to live with Parkinson's Disease they have stood their ground and so must I.
Yes I have Parkinson's Disease, but what but it does mean for me now? Have I changed? I have no idea what my life would be like if I had not been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease 12 years ago. Last Saturday, I came to the realization that I don't care about what might have been anymore. Not everything in my life has changed, just the way I was looking at it. My wife, friends, and family still call me Duncan and my children still call me Dad. I realized that life with Parkinson's is what you make of it, not by avoiding the things you think you can't do, but trying the things that you want to do, even if you are afraid you might fail.
Where was I when this struck me? I was on a tee box for the first time in 12 years having not picked up a golf club since I was diagnosed. Nervous, not wanting to embarrass myself I had already tried to back out at the last moment, but my playing partners were having none of it. I may have lost 6 balls in the space of 9 holes, I did loose count of how many strokes I had taken and missed make-able putts from 12 inches. But I really enjoyed myself and so did the rest of the 4 ball…. Wife, Daughter and Son. I want to play again, and so do they, but we are not going to wait 12 years for the next one!!

Justin Bieber could face up to 18 months in prison after being charged with attacking a limo driver.
The pop brat, 19, was accused of hitting him on the head and leaving before police arrived. The driver, who has since quit his job, was taking Bieber and five pals from a nightclub to a hotel.
A police statement said: "An altercation occurred between one of the passengers and the driver. A man struck the driver on the back of the head several times. The driver exited the vehicle and called police. The man who struck him left the scene."
Canadian Bieber handed himself in to police on Wednesday in Toronto, Ontario, and was charged with assault over the alleged December 30 attack in the city.
He faces court on March 10.
In Ontario a first time assault conviction can typically mean up to 18 months' jail or a fine. But his lawyer Howard Weitzman said the star was innocent.
Bieber's manager Scooter Braun tweeted: "I ask people to be kind and hope for the best in people. Not assume the worst."
It was the Boyfriend singer's second brush with the law in a week.
He tested positive for marijuana and Xanax after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and drag racing in Miami.
But his alcohol level was under the legal limit.
He pleaded not guilty and was bailed.
It came as 100,000 people signed a petition to kick him out of the US.

The Number 43 Trelawney Park kwaMagogo Legacy Project is a product of a very successful publication of the same title, in 2007. The Legacy Project primarily gives ownership to the total liberation of the continent, affords a platform to recognise and provide knowledge on the contribution of the peoples of the Southern African region and the world.
Number 43 Trelawney Park is a house situated in Swaziland that has strong links to South Africa's struggle history for freedom. The house is rich in history and heritage both in a political sense as well as a portrait of a South African family in a postcolonial Swaziland. The Number 43 Trelawney Park Legacy Project was initiated and run by the Number 43 Trelawney Park kwaMagogo Foundation.
At the heart of this Momentous Celebration is the inherent obligation to recognise those who led the way, took up the spear and blazed the path to today's South Africa – Amahlahlandlela. This is a Zulu word, meaning pioneers. There is no doubt that this celebration reaches and touches everyone both in the region and beyond. We have no doubt that you would want to be a part of it.
This pioneering spirit, drove people, including the architects of Number 43, 50 years ago – namely, uButhongo and uMakgomo Masilela, when they left South Africa protesting against Bantu Education and settled at Number 43. As history would have it, their relocation from South Africa would provide an important and strategic outpost for the liberation movement against the sinister apartheid regime.
In this regard, the Number 43 Trelawney Park Foundation seeks the assistance and support of people's of the world, towards the annual hosting of this historical event. The event offers invaluable exposure and networking opportunities for all participants. Over the years it has been running, it developed untold amount of networking, both in social and commercial sense.
It is now traditionally hosted over a period of two days, attracting over 2,000 participants from across the globe. Over the two days there are five activities, namely: Golf, 10km Legacy Walk and Run, Magogoism a charity activity where we feed the community and give food parcels and blankets to 43 destitute families, Legacy Public Lecture. The latter event attracts much sort out speakers from both sides of the border, in a very Royal setting, enjoying a backdrop of the magnificent Mdzimba Mountains. Previous speakers include President Jacob Zuma of South Africa (2007), Former Deputy Prime Minister, Hon Themba Masuku (2009), Maria Ramos (2010), Cheryl Carolus (2011), Monhla Hlahla (2012), Graca Machel (2013), Phumzile Mlambo Ngcuka, Sydney Mufamadi, amongst others.

Consistent with the Brazilian corporate law, our mandatory dividend was fixed in our bylaws in 25% of our net income for any particular year, adjusted according to the corporate law. The mandatory dividend may be paid as well as interest over own capital, treated as deductible expense for IRPJ (corporate income taxes) and CSLL (social contribution) purposes.
Our board of directors may recommend that its shareholders approve the payment of additional dividends, from other resources that are legally available for distribution.
According to our bylaws, under which the general assembly countersign the deliberation of the Board of Directors on the payment of interest over capital and dividends to shareholders.
We are required by Brazilian Corporate Law and our bylaws to hold an annual shareholders' meeting no later than the fourth month subsequent to fiscal year end, at which time, among other matters, the shareholders will have to deliberate over the payment of dividends from the ended fiscal year. The payment of annual dividends is based on our audited financial statements prepared for the immediately preceding year.
Any holder of record of shares at the time a dividend is declared is entitled to receive dividends. Under Brazilian corporate law, dividends are generally required to be paid within 60 days following the date on which the dividend is declared, unless the shareholders' resolution established another payment date, which, in any event, must occur before the end of the year in which the dividend is declared.
Our bylaws do not require that dividend payments be adjusted for inflation.
Further, shareholders have a three-year period from the date of the resolution for the payment of dividends to claim their dividends or interest on stockholders' equity, after which the aggregate amount of any unclaimed dividends legally reverts to us. However, this does not imply that dividends cannot be paid to shareholders during the fiscal years thereafter.
We can develop half-year balance sheets and intermediaries and, by decision of our board of directors and pursuant to Brazilian law and our bylaws, we can develop smaller period balance sheets and declare, pay or credit dividends. Additionally, the shareholders can deliberate at any time, the distribution of dividends kept by the amounts accounted for unrealized profit reserve or retained earnings reserve of previous years, well maintained by general assembly decision, after the payment of the mandatory dividends as predicted by the bylaw for such years.
Currently the dividend distribution in Brazil is free of income tax, except when payment is given to beneficiaries residing and/or domiciled in countries or dependencies that: (i) are not subjected to income tax or where income tax is below 20% on income earned outside its territory; (ii) where local legislation imposes restrictions on disclosure regarding the shareholder composition or investment ownership; (iii) grant tax advantages to individuals or legal entities non-residents with no requirement to carry out substantial economic activity in the country or dependency; (iv) grant tax advantages to individuals or legal entities non-residents or subjected to non-exercise of substantial economic activity in the country or dependency; and (v) granting of tax advantages to individuals or legal entities non-resident or conditioned to the non exercise of substantial economic activity in the country or dependency. Possible changes in Brazilian legislation may contribute to the distribution of income tax dividends by the IRPF.

Beginning January 1, 1996, Brazilian companies have been permitted to pay interest on stockholders' equity in lieu of limited dividends to shareholders and to treat those payments as a deductible expense for purposes of calculating Brazilian corporate income tax (IRPJ) and, since 1998, also for the purpose of social contribution on net profits (CSLL). The deduction amount is limited to the greater of: (i) 50% of the Company's net income (before the distribution of any deductions resulting from the social contribution tax and Brazilian income tax) for the applicable period, and (ii) 50% of accumulated income. The payment of interest on stockholders' equity is an alternative to the payment of mandatory dividends. Interest on stockholders' equity cannot exceed the prorated daily variation of the Brazilian government's long-term interest rate as determined by the Brazilian Central Bank (Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo), or TJLP. The amount distributed to our shareholders as interest on stockholders' equity, net of any income tax, may be included as part of the mandatory dividends. Under applicable law, we are required to pay to our shareholders an amount sufficient to ensure that the net amount they receive in respect of interest on stockholders' equity, net of payment of any applicable withholding tax, plus the amount of distributed dividends, is at least equivalent to the mandatory dividend amount.
Any payment of interest on shareholders' equity to shareholders, whether or not they are residents of Brazil, is subject to an income tax of 15%, with the rate increasing to 25% for individuals living in a tax haven, that is a country where there is no income tax or where income tax is below 20% or where local legislation imposes restrictions on disclosure regarding the shareholder composition or investment ownership.
Interest on shareholders' equity and payable to our shareholders, as calculated pursuant to Act 9249, are recorded in income statement, specifically in financial expenses account, as required by tax law. Just for the submission of financial statements, these values are reversed from the income statement and presented the rate of retained income as profit distribution.

Skip to 0 minutes and 0 seconds Well, I think there's a difference between film and television. You always have more time with film. So sometimes the director will come to me while there's still a rough cut, even. And I will start doing sketches straightaway. With television, often, you're actually usually working much later on. So there might be almost close to a fine cut. The first thing I do, is I write– I talk to the director. And he'll either have a bit of music that he's liked, and he will play to me, or talk about what he wants. And the first thing that I do is actually write four or five different pieces, which I'll show him. Give him a choice.
Skip to 0 minutes and 46 seconds Because it's very hard to understand exactly what's wanted. Once you've got a few clips, a few little bits of music, sorted out for the film, it gives the composer confidence that he's on the right track. And after that you might then start scoring each individual part. Directors like to work in different ways. Some directors are very specific about time codes. They'll give you a list of time codes, and you'll write clips for each little bit, write cues for each bit. Other directors, they're freer. They say, oh, we want something around about this area. And it's a nice way to work, because sometimes it's the music itself that defines exactly where you start it.
Skip to 1 minute and 31 seconds You might start it a second early or two seconds later, depending on how the music is. So it's very much this sort of suck it and see thing. You want to engage the director and find out whether you're on the right track. And then you expand the score. And eventually you write something for all the music. At some point or other, the producer gets involved. It's very important to bring the producer in at not too late a time. Because they might suddenly see the music and be shocked by what you've actually done. But it's good to come to a sense of unity with the director. This relationship with the director is so key to the whole thing.
Meet John Keane
John Keane talks about the process a composer goes through.
Music is a very important component of a film, in that it can provide what Mike Figgis calls 'the essential psychology of a film…a psychological backbone'.
There are essentially three options for music in film
• use existing tracks (like pop songs)
• use library music ('mood' tracks composed for general use)
• use a composer (who will work with the director)
What do you think are the potential advantages and disadvantages of each of these choices?

INDONESIA'S digital economy is set to boom, helping its overall economy expand from US$1 trillion in 2017 to US$2.7 trillion by 2027.
Over the next 10 years, we expect online retail in Indonesia to increase 14-fold from just US$4.4 billion in 2017 to US$63.2 billion, or 19 per cent of total retail sales versus 3 per cent currently.
To support this growth, as well as the rise in e-services such as ride hailing, travel bookings and food delivery, we expect an equally rapid adoption of e-money from just 2 per cent of nation-wide transactions in 2017 to 24 per cent by 2027.
We are also seeing the emergence of fintech solutions such as peer-to-peer lending targeting the 44 per cent of the population who do not have access to banking services today.
The building blocks for all this growth in digitalisation are already in place. Demographics are supportive, with half the population below the age of 30 and a rapidly growing middle class. And the people are tech savvy – Indonesia is home to the fourth largest number of Facebook users in the world, at 130 million; it has the third highest number of Twitter accounts at more than 24 million. Smartphones, a key access tool, are already in the hands of half the population; by 2027, we think, penetration rates will be close to 95 per cent. Connectivity is also improving with the rollout of the government's 36,000 km intra-island fibre network, the Palapa Ring Project.
The government's infrastructure push, including transportation links, is helping to address bottlenecks around logistics, complementing a move by ride-hailing companies into last-mile delivery services.
Bank Indonesia and the Indonesian Financial Services Authority OJK are cooperating on a fintech regulatory roadmap, and Bank Indonesia announced plans last December for a new payments gateway similar to Singapore's Nets or JCB in Japan.
What's more, the government's 14th Economic Reform Package, announced in 2016, is focused on e-commerce with the aim of helping Indonesia become South-east Asia's largest digital economy by 2020.
Capital is increasingly available to help fund startups. We have already seen the emergence of four domestically created "unicorns" with over US$10 billion of investments in the past two years alone.
Digitalisation is benefiting the overall economy as well. Near term, we expect it to prove disinflationary – the so called "Amazon Effect".
Our price comparison checks between online and offline show a 12-18 per cent gap in favour of online pricing.
Digitalisation may also create jobs on the lower end, as new types of services are offered in an on-demand economy – for example, the popular ride-hailing service Go-Jek already has over a million riders on its platform.
In the longer term, we see a positive impact on economic growth with the adoption of digitalisation likely spurring growth in capital stock as capital investment is undertaken and potentially comes with better productivity growth.
But, all this digitalisation also brings a real risk of disruption.
In retail, there will likely be a loss of wallet share for offline businesses; case studies from other markets show that department stores are typically most affected.
For banks, we see a risk to returns from higher funding costs as non-banking e-payment platforms, such as Go-Pay, OVO and TokoCash gain scale and stickiness with customers.
To date, Bank Indonesia has issued 27 money licences with only 12 held by banks; current regulations allow for maximum deposit float of two million rupiah (S$195.50) per unregistered user, rising to 10 million rupiah for a registered user.
Banks could also miss an opportunity to provide lending products to the currently unbanked portion of the population as fintechs look to address this segment.
In real estate, the longer-term disruption risk sits with shopping malls, we believe, though this will take time to materialise; in the meanwhile, we are continuing to see more money being invested in warehouses.
For equity markets, we think the outcome is bittersweet. The bitter is likely to be in the near term. We have long viewed the business environment in Indonesia as oligopolistic in nature, helping to support higher-than-average returns. In fact, at 17 per cent, MSCI Indonesia companies' returns on equity are among the highest in the world, making them ripe for disruption as digitalisation helps to break down competitive barriers to entry and disintermediate the middleman economy.
Longer term, we see the outcome as sweet. We believe digitalisation, along with the delivery of infrastructure projects, will drive sustained double-digit earnings growth for the market, helping to boost the overall market capitalisation of listed equities from US$500 billion in 2017 to US$1.5 trillion by 2027, raising its relevance for foreign investors.
We also cannot rule out the listing of high-growth, new economy companies, which could help transform the composition of the index over time.

The Difference Between Vendors and ConsultantsBlog Post: June 14, 2012
Completely agree, working as a consultant requires broad, general marketing knowledge and understanding. The bigger picture brand and overall business strategy has to come first and any SEO fits in and needs to work underneath that. Gaining this marketing understanding has to be a crucial part of moving from being a vendor to consultancy.

Last night I was accosted by a drunk man outside of seven eleven whose name was Daniel and who was looking for a cigarette. He kept asking me how old I was and telling me I was pretty. I shook his hand when he introduced himself and had shivers until I fell asleep last night. It didn't help that it was a full moon. I had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I do now too. The wind is blowing a little too hard tonight.
And Vero'nica might be dead... that's what people are trying to say, and no one can figure out if it's a hoax or not. It's creepy as fuck to think of an LJ'er dead... they're all pretty young. There's some 800-number you can call if you have any "clues"... they're not saying whether it was murder, or suicide, and how they're handling it, it's probably not any accident.
I'm just majorly creeped out right now, and I discovered earlier that no amount of online test-taking is gonna get my mind off of it.
On the upside, I found three people who said they'd take me to Prom. One of them is pretty much Mya's territory though, so I guess in reality I only have two.

HATTIESBURG, MS (WDAM) - This is a news release from The University of Southern Mississippi
Wilton Jackson, a junior broadcast journalism major at The University of Southern Mississippi, has been chosen to participate in the USA Today Collegiate Correspondent Program which runs from Jan. 13 – May 9.
The Jackson, Miss., native earned a spot on the 20-person correspondent team after completing two rounds of competitive writing submissions. The program serves as a virtual journalism internship offered in the fall and spring semesters.
"I was so happy and excited. I was smiling from ear-to-ear," said Jackson. "If it were not for my editors of the Student Printz (Southern Miss student newspaper) and those individuals I interviewed for the second round story, I would not be writing today as a Collegiate Correspondent. I appreciate them as well as everyone else who has pushed and motivated to do great things."
During the first round applicants are required to submit their resume, GPA and best and most creative clips. Candidates are required to have an extensive amount of experience with print writing, social media or broadcast.
When Jackson was selected to continue on to the second round, he was required to submit an article, along with a sample tweet, to the USA Today College staff based on published piece from the USA Today College or USA Today website.
Jackson will submit a total of 14 stories about a variety of topics that affect college students and could have the opportunity to cover hard news story as well. Aside from writing, he may also be asked to assist other USA Today writers as needed.
"USA TODAY always provides good top quality stories in all categories of news, thus it is truly an honor to be a USA TODAY College Collegiate Correspondent," Jackson said.
Jackson believes that this experience will better equip him for his future in the journalism field.
"I hope to gain valuable journalism experience in terms of fine tuning my storytelling skills, top notch expertise from world renowned print journalists and learn how to better transition from simply a print journalist to more of the digital journalist surrounded by social media," Jackson said.
Jackson plans to pursue a job as a sports anchor or digital journalist for a midsize city market, such as Nashville, Charlotte or Memphis. His dream is to work for Sports Center or a sports show affiliated with ESPN.
"I am truly grateful, privileged and honored to be one of 20 USA TODAY Collegiate Correspondents," Jackson said. "I feel this program will give me greater opportunities that will help me to reach my ultimate dreams in life."

Fayetteville, NY -- Picture a charming, enclosed white porch with tall windows on three sides and tables topped with snowy linens, fresh flowers and candlelight. Look again and you're at one of the three dining areas in the
in Fayetteville.
With a history dating back to the 1840s, the one-time farmhouse was restored and re-created as one of the finest restaurants in the county.
On a recent frigid Saturday evening, two of us anticipated the first day of spring and enjoyed Arad Evans' heated summery porch, casual atmosphere, creative food and nonstop friendly, professional service.
Chef Doug Walters' simple annotated menu offers six appetizers ($7 to $15), three salads ($7 and $8) and eight entrees ($24 to $28). Our waitress recited specials, but we ordered from the menu.
Even before appetizers arrived, we received a basket of crusty sliced bread, small cups of seasoned olive oil and a soft butter flower. A chilled bottle of Italian Trebbiano d'Abruzzo ($24) was chosen from an extensive wine list, and refills were frequent.
Amuse-bouches, aiming to tickle the appetite with a bite or two before dinner, did the trick with mini cups of delicious creamy soup made with Yukon Gold potatoes and watercress and spiked gently with hot pepper, delivering a surprise after-bite. I could have enjoyed a whole cup as an appetizer.
Serious dining came next with hanger steak carpaccio ($10), with thinly sliced, flavorful steak with arugula, sweet onion and Pecorino Romano cheese. The variety of tastes and textures was just right.
Baked onion gratinee ($7) put a new face on French onion soup. Fiery from the broiler, Jarlsberg and Gruyere cheeses covered the extra-thick soup with a crusty, golden blanket on top of generous herb crostini that added flavor and body to a generous, remarkable dish.
For one entree, Finger Lakes organic chicken ($24) kept us close to home with a tender, pan-roasted breast and thigh with crisp skins. The generous pieces were served on soft, roasted-garlic polenta and "fresh seasonal vegetables," which were disappointing. Chunks of pale squash and small, undercooked green beans seemed like afterthoughts.
Pacific halibut ($26), white, firm and mild-flavored, was garnished with herb-seared beluga lentils and baby spinach for colorful companions.
Other entree choices included bouillabaisse ($27), scallops ($25), filet mignon ($28) and Hudson Valley duck ($27).
Homemade desserts at Arad Evans are always special and taste as good as they look. When we realized sharing a dessert would destroy the artwork, we splurged on two ($8 each) and enjoyed a remarkably silky creme brulee with vanilla custard and a caramelized sugar top.
A crusty pecan tart was crowned with homemade berry ice cream. Fresh raspberries and strawberries formed edible fruit bouquets to decorate both dishes.
Other desserts that evening included a sorbet sampler, hot molten chocolate cake and the restaurant's signature chocolate ice-cream tower.
Dinner at Arad Evans can be saved for a special occasion or can be ready for pop-in bites or small plates in the popular bistro.
Reservations are accepted, and parking is plentiful around the building.

Lutrus back, but first, Edsall goes ballistic
STORRS -- The questions have been coming for four weeks now, at every face-to-face meeting with the state's media and during every teleconference call. Apparently, Randy Edsall was getting pretty tired and frustrated about having to answer them.
The questions are about redshirt junior linebacker Scott Lutrus and, more specifically, how his injury, a nerve stinger in his neck and shoulder area, is doing.
And each time those questions have been asked, Edsall's responses have gotten shorter and testier. The questions are asked with good reason.
Lutrus, of Brookfield, is one of Edsall's starting linebackers. He is a team captain and, most importantly, a leader. And one would think that not playing in the last three games had to be killing him.
How bad did Lutrus want to be out there? Three days after he suffered an injury during the second half of the season opener at Ohio, he told the media surrounding him that he "would be fine" to play against North Carolina. But the doctors said no.
The next week against Baylor, the doctors again said no. Against Rhode Island, the doctors said no, and if the Huskies hadn't had an off week in preparation for this Saturday's game at Pittsburgh, the doctors would have said no again, too.
So, during Tuesday's media session, Edsall was asked how Lutrus was dealing with the frustration of wanting to play and not being able to.
As soon as the question was asked, Edsall snapped.
It brought back memories of UConn men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun going off the deep end when asked about Providence's Ryan Gomes. At least Edsall didn't drop any profanities when hissing out his answer.
"There's really nothing to talk about. The guy's not playing. If I could dial the nerve up on the phone and get the nerve on the phone to talk to you right now, I would do that, but there's no sense in talking about it because he's ruled as doubtful," Edsall said. "I don't have any more information today, gentlemen, than what I had two weeks ago. I don't know when I'm going to have any more information about that.
"Scott's tired of talking about it, I'm tired of talking about it and until we know anything more, there's really no sense to talk about it, because it's a nerve and nerves react differently and it could be the whole season, I don't know. I have no idea. Our doctors don't even know. It's just a situation where there's no sense to address it. It's a nerve situation and I can't talk to the nerve and that's just the way it is."
You could almost see the smoke coming from Edsall's ears as he answered the question. The problem was, the question asked had nothing to do with Lutrus' injury. It was how the linebacker was dealing mentally with the waiting to be cleared to play.
And when I asked Edsall if he'd spoken to Lutrus about that mental attitude, the coach never let me finish.
"I haven't talked to Scott since it happened," Edsall said, sarcasm dripping off every word. Then he continued: before he continued, saying: "I talk to him every day and I say the same thing. Until there's something different to say & he doesn't want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. Because there's nothing more to say than what we've already said."
Thankfully, there was a voice of reason and understanding among the masses. Quarterback Cody Endres said that while yes, Lutrus is definitely frustrated, his attitude is still as positive as ever.
"He's a football player and he wants to be on the field, but I think Scott's sound mentally," Endres said. "He's going to have his opportunity to get back out there and when he does, he's going to take advantage of it."
The quarterback also said that the rest of the guys are making sure that Lutrus feels he's still in the middle of everything.
"We joke around with him and we talk to him a lot. We're there for support," Endres said. "He still helps out in practice, especially with the younger guys, so he's definitely a huge mainstay for us."
Now, why couldn't Edsall have said that?
Interestingly, less than an hour after Edsall said Lutrus' injury could sideline him for "the whole season," the head coach marched into the lunchroom and said that the doctors had just told him that Lutrus had been medically cleared.
"With stingers, you never know, you get one, you could get another one, but he's been cleared to practice," the coach said. "He's been cleared to play this Saturday based on how he'll do this week in practice."
Wonder how Lutrus feels about that news. Randy & Randy?

A powerful Labour message is that there is a "cost of living crisis". There will always be some of us facing a "cost of living crisis" – even in periods where wages generally rise ahead of inflation. Similarly such a crisis could hit the rich – a businessman who takes a risk and then has his home repossessed after losing everything. If the Conservatives respond by denying there is a "cost of living crisis" that is an annoying message for those struggling to pay their household bills. Alternatively, accepting the premise of such a crisis is an admission of failure.
So rather than getting drawn on whether or not the "crisis" facing individual families could fairly be described as constituting a generalised crisis a more fruitful matter for debate is which party has the policies to reduce the cost of living.
In this context the Communities and Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles is quite right to resist demands from Labour council leaders for a Supermarket Tax.
Mr Pickles told Cllr Ranjit Banwait, the Leader of Derby Council:
"You submitted a proposal under the Sustainable Communities Act to impose a new tax on large shops and supermarkets. You asked that town halls be given the power to levy an additional tax of up to 8.5 per cent of the business rate on large supermarkets or large retail outlets in their area, with an annual rateable value over £500,000. I note that this is not just a tax on supermarkets, but also a tax on department stores and shopping precincts.
"The Coalition Government does not support these calls for higher taxation. Larger premises already pay higher business rates, as a business rate bill is directly related to the Rateable Value of the premises. In any area, bigger premises have a bigger Rateable Value; moreover, larger firms are not eligible for many of the various reliefs and also pay a higher multiplier.
"Imposing new, additional taxes on supermarkets and larger shops will ultimately push up the price of food and the cost of living, hitting low-income families the hardest. Supermarkets should certainly act with social responsibility, but equally, we should also recognise they play an important role in our society and free market in providing convenient, accessible and competitively priced food.
"We ruled out such a similar bid for higher taxes on supermarkets under the last round of the Sustainable Communities Act proposals. Such tax would invariably reduce investment in new and existing stores and hit jobs.
"Your submission cited the example of Scotland. However, it failed to mention that the Scottish Government is now abandoning their new tax because of the negative consequences. It also cited Northern Ireland, however, it did not consider that their system of small business rate relief is less generous than that currently available in England.
"There are much better ways to support small shops – not least by cutting taxes, rather than increasing them. The Coalition Government's long-term economic plan has supported local high streets with a billion pound package of investment that includes a £1,000 discount forsmaller shops, doubling small business rate relief, making small rate relief easier to claim and a new relief to get empty shops back into productive use. We have also introduced sensible planning changes to get empty buildings back into use and increase the resident population of town centres, as well as action to tackle over-zealous parking practices.
"The Localism Act 2011 has also given councils new powers to introduce local business rate discounts. Following the reforms in the Local Government Finance Act 2012, central government now funds half the costs of all local discounts granted. This is part of a series of steps by the Government to help support local shops and local high streets and spread best practice by councils.
"Certainly high streets face challenges, but this is as much about the way that the internet is changing the way we shop in the 21st Century: and it is as challenging for supermarkets' old business models, as much as it is for small firms. In that context, your proposal is sadly an all-too predictable siren call from some parts of local government: namely, the solution to every policy issue seems to be how to impose new taxes. This is a lazy way of thinking.
"Councils already have a wide range of powers to support local high streets and small shops – across parking, planning, licensing and the night -time economy, street markets, improving the street scene, supporting 'click and collect', tourism promotion, to exercising their role as a landowner in their own right.
"The Localism Act also gives councils a new general power of competence. My department's high streets team would be happy to provide some further advice and best practice."
There are plenty of other examples of how the Conservatives offer a better prospect for for easing the cost of living. Lower energy bills through the development of shale gas has huge potential – as would scrapping the misconceived "green" levies.
The renegotiation of our EU membership followed by an in/out referendum offer two chances for us to be rid of the Common Agricultural Policy. The OECD/World Bank calculates that would allow food prices to fall by 17 per cent.
The issue about the cost of living is not whether it is a challenge. Of course it is. The question is how people can cope with the challenge more easily. A supermarkets tax would make the challenge worse – Mr Pickles is right to have said so in such robust terms.

- Output and order backlog at record high
- Second-best result in PORR's history
- Net debt falls below EUR 200m
- Outlook 2018: output to grow to EUR 5bn
Vienna, 14.03.2018 – PORR AG increased its output and order backlog in 2017 for the fifth year in a row. With production output forecast at around EUR 4.7bn, PORR has achieved record growth of over 20 %. The order backlog of almost EUR 6.4bn is higher than ever. The PORR home markets served as a stable growth driver once again in 2017.
"PORR is on track. We have deliberately invested in growth. At the same time, our record order backlog gives us a solid basis for 2018 and beyond", says Karl-Heinz Strauss, CEO of PORR. "With the new Executive Board team we are placing a particular focus on profitability in 2018".
On the basis of preliminary figures, PORR generated production output of EUR 4,738.2m, whereby the rise of 20.7 % marked a significant increase on the previous year. The organic growth of 12.3 % benefited above all from the clear positioning on the home markets of Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland and the Czech Republic. PORR achieved additional growth of 8.4 % through acquisitions. There was a significant increase in the fields of commercial construction and international infrastructure projects. The largest share of output was achieved in Austria and Germany in particular.
In 2017 PORR achieved the second-best result in its history. Included here are the integration costs from the rapid expansion in the German market and one-off effects in Qatar. As expected, the 2017 earnings will be somewhat below the record value of the previous year.
The order backlog reached another all-time high: at EUR 6,366.8m, it climbed by 32.5 % despite the strong growth in production output. The order intake rose even more sharply by 51.8 % and amounted to EUR 6,300.9m. Large-scale projects such as BMW in Munich-Freimann or complex infrastructure projects like the motorway bridge A1 Dortmund/Koblenz over the river Rhine, the railway line LK 354 Poznań-Piła in Poland, or the section of the U5 metro line in Frankfurt were acquired in 2017 and will ensure full capacity utilisation well beyond 2018. PORR, once again, proved itself to be a reliable partner on complex, large-scale projects in the infrastructure sector and to the industry.
The company managed to reduce its expected net debt by around EUR 300m in the fourth quarter of 2017 alone and it is set to be below EUR 200m as of year-end 2017.
On the basis of the current record order backlog, the Executive Board expects production output to grow to around EUR 5bn, representing an increase of approximately 5.5 %.
PORR AG will publish the final figures for the 2017 business year on 26 April 2018.

- This character is a member of the Kirk family.
Joseph Samuel T'Kol T'Lan Kirk was the child of James T. Kirk and Teilani of Chal. Joseph was born in 2375, a month premature, after his mother nearly died from a poisoning. Joseph never came to know his mother, however, since she was killed at Halkan during a rescue operation aboard the USS Pathfinder several weeks after his birth. He was subsequently raised until the time of his apparent death by his widowed father, James T. Kirk.
Being the child of Kirk and Teilani, Joseph was a hybrid of Human, Romulan, and Klingon DNA. This mix ultimately proved to be a near- match with the genetic profile of Professor Richard Galen's ancestral species. Because of his unusual genetic profile, Joseph was intersex; however, despite this, Joseph was always treated as a boy by his own choice.
Joseph seemingly sacrificed himself to save his father and the Milky Way Galaxy from becoming overrun by the Totality in 2381 at the age of 6. He transformed into the pure energy of the galactic barrier and consumed the agent sent by the Totality to assimilate the life within the Milky Way into the dark matter realm. His body was never recovered, but it was accepted that he is forever gone. James T. Kirk added a new gravestone on the property of his cabin on Chal for Joseph next to the one for Teilani.

Peter Sagan takes opening time trial at Tour de Suisse
Liquigas-Cannondale strongman out-speeds resurgent Fabian Cancellara in stage-1 time trial
LUGANO, Switzerland (AFP) — Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) continued his strong season on Saturday with a victory in stage 1 of the 2012 Tour de Suisse.
Sagan won the opening individual time trial in Lugano, covering the 7.3km course in 9 minutes and 44 seconds. Fabian Cancellara (RadioShack-Nissan), who had won on the exact same course the past two years, took the runner-up spot at four seconds slower with Moreno Moser (Liquigas) third at seven seconds.
"I'm certainly not a time trialist," Sagan said on the team's website. "But over short distances, like a prologue, I can maximize my power.
"I had fun and felt comfortable. I'm really happy for this moment when everything is going well. It's a great morale boost, just what I need to continue my path toward the Tour de France."
The Tour de Suisse, like the Critérium du Dauphiné in France, is a crucial tune-up for the Tour, to be held June 30-July 22.
Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), who has made the Tour's yellow jersey one of his objectives this year, finished Saturday's opener in 23rd place at 31 seconds, the same time as Robert Gesink (Rabobank).
Damiano Cunego (Lampre) finished 41st at 36 seconds adrift, the same time as 44th-placed Fränk Schleck (RadioShack-Nissan).
Defending champion Levi Leipheimer (Omega Pharma-Quick Step), finished 57th at 41 seconds.
Sunday's stage 2 is a 218.3km leg from Verbania to Verbier.

Two women legislators representing the people of their state by introducing a Mandatory GMO Labeling Bill, now find themselves facing GMO seed maker Monsanto in two different ways. One faces a long-standing physical presence and the other a lawsuit.
San Bernardino, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/19/2012 --Elle Cochran, Maui Council Member and Kate Webb, Representative for the State of Vermont are both facing corporate giant Monsanto head on by filling state bills for mandatory labeling of all their genetically modified products (GMOs) sold in Hawaii and Vermont. Elle and Kate have filed the bills in response to an overwhelming outcry from the people they serve who say they want to know if GMOs are in their food.
Public upset is increasing as more people become aware of the replacement of traditional crops with GMO crops over the past ten years with some as high as 96% of the total crop grown in United States. When you learn 80% of processed foods found on store shelves contain GMOs, consumers feel they are helpless to get away from them. Surveys show that as many as 90% of consumers want GMO information on labels so they can make a choice. Organic is currently the only way of being sure GMOs are not added to products.
When it became clear that the Kate Webb's Mandatory GMO Labeling Bill was probably going to pass because of strong support from other Representatives, Monsanto then publicly came out with a statement saying they would sue the state of Vermont if the bill passed.
Vermont Secretary of Agriculture Chuck Ross spoke on the April 16th broadcast of "Vermont Edition" that he and the Governor support mandatory GMO labeling, but don't feel that the structure of the current GMO bill could hold up in court against a Monsanto legal team.
Elle Cochran introduced the mandatory GMO labeling bill in Hawaii, but Oahu, the largest island, voted against the bill so there was no way that it could pass without their support. Hawaii has served as a central research center for Monsanto GMO seeds, with a presence that goes all they way back to the 1960s.
Locals have long been against the GMO research in Hawaii according to Elle in our December 2011 interview. Elle explained that the locals, which are also true Hawaiians, worried about the risk for cross contamination with the thousands of indigenous plants and foods that had developed on the islands over hundreds of years. They feared that perhaps you would never be able to take GMOs back out of the vegetation once the organisms became embedded in the DNA.
Elle visited a Monsanto farm last December and shared her experience on the December 22nd Smart Health Talk broadcast. Elle has since visited another Monsanto research farm, which is also home to their premium GMO crop. She will be sharing information on that visit today on Smart Health Talk.
Host Elaine McFadden agrees with last weeks guest Dag Falck, Program Director at Nature's Path Organic Foods that we should have mandatory GMO labeling so people can know if these organisms are in their food. "People have a right to say, no I don't want to put that in my body."
Jeffrey Smith, author "Genetic Roulette" and "Seeds of Deception" has met with groups around the world to educate them on GMOs. The biggest change he now sees at these presentations is the amount of health professionals that attend. He explained on the October 13th Smart Health Talk broadcast how doctors come up to him excited with results achieved when they put their patients on a 100% "Non GMO Diet." Patients use the free "Non GMO Shopping List" and "phone app" that was developed by the Institute of Responsible Technology of which Jeffrey is the Director and is available for download on their website.
Jeffrey also explained that, "One of the biggest concerns right now is infant formulas, juice, and baby foods, and how the concentration of GMOs and pesticides in these products could compromise a vulnerable, underdeveloped immune and digestive system.
Tune in today at 4:00 pm PST as we talk to Elle and Kate on where things stand with Mandatory GMO labeling bills in their states, and how Vermont will respond to the Monsanto lawsuit. This decides our right to know what's in our food!

Frequent Links
Whitehall is a road in the City of Westminster, in central London, which forms the first part of the A3212 road from Trafalgar Square to Chelsea. It is the main thoroughfare running south from the site of the original Charing Cross at the southern end of Trafalgar Square towards Parliament Square. Recognised as the centre of Her Majesty's Government, the street is lined with government departments and ministries; the name "Whitehall" is thus also frequently used as a metonym for overall British governmental administration, as well as being a geographic name for the surrounding area.
The name is taken from the vast Palace of Whitehall that used to occupy the area but which was largely destroyed by fire in 1698. Whitehall was originally a wide road that led to the front of the palace. Trafalgar Square was built at its northern extremity in the early 19th century. The southernmost portion between Parliament Square and Downing Street is named Parliament Street. Combined, Parliament Street and Whitehall cover a distance of about 0.6 mile (1 km).
Whitehall is also widely known for a number of memorial statues and monuments, including Britain's primary war memorial, the Cenotaph.
Parliament Street was a small side-road alongside the Palace of Whitehall which led to the Palace of Westminster. When the Palace of Whitehall was demolished, Parliament Street was widened to match Whitehall's width. The present appearance of the street is largely the result of 19th-century redevelopment.
Banqueting House, built in 1622 by Inigo Jones, is the only surviving portion of the former palace. Charles I was executed on 30 January 1649 on a scaffold erected outside the building, stepping onto it from a first-floor window. Royalists commemorate the regicide annually on the anniversary of the execution.
The name "Whitehall" is often used as a metonym to refer that part of the civil service which is involved in the government of the United Kingdom.
The central portion of the street is dominated by military buildings, including the Ministry of Defence, with the former headquarters of the British Army and Royal Navy, the Royal United Services Institute, the Horse Guards building and the Admiralty, on the opposite side.
Scotland Yard, the headquarters of London's Metropolitan Police Service, was originally located in Great Scotland Yard off the north-eastern end of Whitehall, but was relocated to New Scotland Yard on the Victoria Embankment in 1890. From 2015, the Metropolitan Police will be headquartered in a building between Whitehall and the Embankment.
Downing Street leads off the south-west end of Whitehall, just above Parliament Street. It is closed to the public at both ends by security gates erected in 1989.[1] These have since been supplemented by a further gated barrier around 3 m outside the main gates.
Additional security measures have been put in place along Whitehall for the protection of the government buildings that line the street. This is partly due to a £25 million streetscape project undertaken by Westminster City Council and approved months before the 7 July 2005 London bombings.[2] The project has provided wider pavements, better lighting and hundreds of concrete and steel security barriers.
On 28 October 2013 during the St Jude storm, Whitehall was temporarily closed to traffic after a crane collapsed on top of the Cabinet Office.[3]
The Cenotaph, Britain's primary war memorial, is situated in the centre of Whitehall and is the site of the annual ceremonies on Remembrance Sunday.
In 2005 a national Monument to the Women of World War II was erected a short distance north of the Cenotaph in the middle of the Whitehall carriageway.
The road is also home to six other monuments:
- Prince George, Duke of Cambridge (1819–1904): Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, 1856–1895
- Spencer Cavendish, 8th Duke of Devonshire (1833–1908): Leader of the Liberal Party, 1875–1880; of the Liberal Unionist Party, 1886–1903; and of the Unionists (1902–1903)
- Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig (1861–1928): Commander-in-Chief of the British Armies in France, 1915 to 1918 (known as the Earl Haig Memorial)
- William Slim, 1st Viscount Slim (1891–1970): Commander of the 14th Army, 1943–1945; and Governor-General of Australia, 1953–1959
- Alan Brooke, 1st Viscount Alanbrooke (1883–1963): Chief of the Imperial General Staff, 1941–1946
- Bernard Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein (1887–1976): Commander of the 8th Army, 1942–1943, and of the 21st Army Group, 1943–1945; Chief of the Imperial General Staff, 1946–1948

One of the most complex production pieces for us currently is producing 100% pure product. We test at every step of our process to make sure it only contains AOB and not other microorganisms. But let's say you didn't care about contamination and wanted to try to grow your own bacteria anyway. You'd still run into some issues with the final product. It turns out some microorganisms adversely affect the Nitrosomonas, and the concentration level of the AOBs is very important to determining the brew's potency and effectiveness.
