I had a hard time trying to decide how many stars to give this. I�ve looked at this throw on and off for the past few years and finally ordered it in Amber Fox. I thought the reviewers stating it wasn�t soft were, perhaps, over exaggerating. They weren�t. It looks very realistic with nice long fur, but it�s coarse feeling. I was surprised since it looks plush and luxurious in the photos. It felt like dog fur. Before ordering this throw you seriously need to decide if the appearance or feel is more important. It also shed quite a bit. There are two well known retail stores that carry fur throws in the $XXX range when not on sale and I know they're soft. I ended up going with a certain mink throw from one of those stores and am very happy. My new blanket is soft and realistic. The colors in Amber Fox are ivory, dark gray, dark brown, & golden brown. In real life, it appeared a tad more golden than what I anticipated. Ultimately I returned this throw and the process was smooth with no problems. I hope this helps someone.
I have 2 of these throws for my master bedroom and living room. These throws are very heavy. The backing is so very soft, almost softer than the fur. I expected the fur to feel softer, it does feel more fake than I had hoped when I ordered it, but I still really love this throw.
When I bought this I didn't even look at the size. I assumed it would be a small throw to add elegance to my bedroom. It's actually really big, but oh so comfortable and delicious! You just want to wrap up in it and snuggle! I have to fold it in half so it just covers the bottom half of my King Size bed.
I love these throws! Very nice! very warm! I ordered 2, the inside lining is sooo soft!
This gorgeous throw looks like a real fur throw. Just the right size to cover yourself in a chair by the fire..... though the throw is pretty warm by itself. Disappointed that the price went up on both the 58 X 80 and the 58 X 60. they are gorgeous though.. makes a great present!
I LOVE IT! Warm and inviting, Easy to get the family snugly close on a cold winters night :-)
The fur has both long and short hairs, and looks very realistic. It feels less soft than my other throw from 10 years earlier, and that is my only downgrade. The looks are better than the pictures. And the feel is just a bit more plastic that perfection would allow.
......and the added bonus that my cat comes running to join me when I pull it up to read my Kindle, purring and kneading as if it's her long lost mother or something....

Chaste tree is a southern favorite beginning to gain favor across the country. Whether left to grow as a large, multistemmed shrub or cut back annually for a more compact look, this selection is a winner. Fine, lacy leaves are glossy and green. Bright blue flower panicles begin to form in early summer and continue through the heat of the season and into fall. This is a reasonably cold-hardy, deer-resistant woody plant, and while V. agnus-castus is typically considered a Zone 7 plant, the variety latifolia can be grown in Zone 6 and even in southern areas of Zone 5.

How Jeffery Rand is setting HB Chemical Corp. apart from its competitors
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Distribution and Manufacturing
Jeffery Rand
owner and president
HB Chemical Corp.
HB Chemical Corp. started as a distributor of carbon black in 1986 and has since expanded its product line offering to more than 300 under Jeffery Rand's vision and leadership. Rand joined HB Chemical in 1998 as a sales rep after working for a competing chemical distributor. The founder of HB Chemical, Hill Browning, was looking for assistance to successfully grow the business, as well as a successor.
Rand soon became minority shareholder and by 2006 had assumed the role of president. In November 2009, he purchased the company from the retiring owner during one of the most difficult economic periods.
The company's solid performance in times of economic uncertainty has helped to strengthen HB Chemical's relationship with its bank and has allowed the company to continue to expand both physically as well as economically where others ceased operations.
Rand is committed to finding ways to improve the distribution process through privately owned warehousing capabilities. With a privately owned warehouse, HB Chemical can serve a wide variety of customer sizes and fulfill orders from entire containers and pallets of product to five gallons of product. This would not be possible in large public warehouses.
This capability along with fulfilling same-day orders with no upcharge and no price gouging of customers during times of rising prices has differentiated HB Chemical from competitors.
Rand also strives to look for ways to improve HB Chemical's global footprint as evidenced by the decision to move into Mexico. He believes the most likely expansion strategy will be to look for financial partners in international companies who don't currently have North American distribution capabilities.
Today, HB Chemical is a clear reflection of Rand's vision. Its distribution strategy with the use of private warehousing has resulted in a 60 percent increase in sales in the last two years with a corresponding increase in net income of 190 percent.

How Drew Forhan and ForTec Medical are delivering a medical equipment phenomenon
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Health Care and Pharmaceutical Services
Drew Forhan
founder and CEO
ForTec Medical
As the founder and CEO of the mobile medical equipment company ForTec Medical, Drew Forhan leads through a collaborative, creative and competitive environment. His leadership qualities include integrity, perseverance and a bias toward action.
Forhan says he has an innate entrepreneurial spirit and drive that has been his personal motivation since he started ForTec at the age of 27 with one truck and one laser. He saw a need in the medical field for a new model to give hospitals and physicians access to innovative technologies. Ultimately, ForTec offers a business model that provides hospitals and physicians a simpler/less expensive way to utilize the latest and greatest medical tool technology.
The concept is such that when a medical operation requires a certain piece of technology a hospital system cannot afford to buy, ForTec's service can be utilized to gain access to the equipment. The ForTec service also provides a trained technician, all for which there is a one-time usage fee.
This model eliminates hospitals capital expenditure or operating lease commitment for new technologies, which can cost nearly $2 million per piece of equipment. ForTec's service simplifies hospital operations, but it was no easy task to get this idea off the ground. ForTec's service has a number of moving parts that need to work in unison to maintain a profitable operation.
Forhan encountered many difficulties along his path, one of the toughest being financing. Each piece of equipment requires a large amount of capital expenditure, and often new technology is introduced annually. So the company's model is all about logistics, demand and turning profit within the year.
In 2012 ForTec served roughly 2,000 hospitals in 40 states. The ForTec team — now almost 300 — has delivered specialized medical equipment and the related service team in 50,000 surgeries, through 26 different facilities throughout the United States.
Forhan's future vision for ForTec includes growing through deepening relationships and strategic acquisitions.

How Scot Lowry grew Fathom marketing and analytics beyond a singular offering
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Professional Services
Scot Lowry
president and CEO
Scot Lowry is president and CEO and the entrepreneurial force driving the growth and innovation at Fathom, a digital marketing and analytics company. Lowry, along with a business partner, purchased Fathom in 2007 from the company's founder.
Although Lowry bought the company, the founder remained a vital operating component to the business by adding sales and marketing expertise. Working together, they leveraged their individual strengths to continue to grow the company. However, the sudden death of Fathom's founder in 2010 proved to be a formidable challenge.
Lowry had to provide leadership, compassion and guidance to all his employees and clients shaken by the event. He then worked to replace the valuable sales and marketing resource that he had lost. Through it all, he was able to identify new talent and refocus his existing team toward an exciting new future.
Lowry's vision and strategy has enabled Fathom to grow beyond its singular offering of search engine optimization to a company with a full suite of digital marketing services. Lowry led the transformation from one to more than 15 marketing service capabilities.
He has molded and shaped Fathom's clever strategy approach. With ideas such as "devote to the moat" and "pick a niche," Fathom expands its competitive advantages and keeps focused on niche markets like health care and education.
In addition, the company's "easy in, impossible out" strategy ensures Fathom is committed to expanding its intellectual property and technology capabilities. To survive in the fast-paced digital marketing world, Fathom must stay ahead of the changing technology landscape. Every day there are changes online that can impact clients, so Lowry promotes "making order from chaos."
Lowry has helped create these capabilities by investing in people, intellectual property, technology integration and acquisitions. By hiring results-oriented technology professionals and encouraging them to explore and expand creative solutions, Fathom has developed proprietary customer solutions and broadened solutions offerings to support its strategy of "easy in, impossible out."

How Dale Wollschleger is changing the way people view pharmacies at ExactCare Pharmacy
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Health Care and Pharmaceutical Services
Dale Wollschleger
ExactCare Pharmacy
Dale Wollschleger's experience in the pharmacy industry is vast. He held positions at Medic Pharmacy and at Lutheran Family Pharmacy before he requested an early buyout from the latter pharmacy in 2004.
In 2006, he started a durable medical equipment business, called Family Home Care, which he operated out of the back of the Lutheran Family Pharmacy. During his time at Lutheran, he worked with a large population of psychiatric patients taking several medications each with very different sets of instructions such as dose size and frequency.
These experiences helped Wollschleger identify a widespread need in the pharmacy market for compliance packaging to enable patients to manage their prescriptions and adhere to instructions associated with their medications. He was particularly drawn to this idea because of the business opportunity and the positive affect it could have on patients his pharmacy served.
With this idea, he founded ExactCare Pharmacy in 2009. Wollschleger's main focus was to develop "an easy-to-use multi-medication packaging solution for administering medications" named the ExactPack.
The ExactPack started out as a manual process dividing patient's medications into separate packages to be taken throughout different times of the day. This process became automated with a machine that produces the ExactPacks. Within the ExactPack, there is a separate packet of medications to coincide with each different time during the day in which a patient is required to take their medications.
Like most pharmacies, the packaging and shipping of the prescriptions is free; ExactCare generates profits through the sale of the prescriptions. This new business rapidly expanded and by 2010 Wollschleger moved ExactCare out of Lutheran to a new space to better accommodate his growing operations.
ExactCare's workforce grew from three employees to 70 and serves patients throughout Ohio. In 2011, Wollschleger purchased an additional pharmacy in New Jersey in which he implemented this same business strategy.

How Brendan Anderson and Jeffery Kadlic created a new way of investing at Evolution Capital Partners
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Financial Services
Brendan Anderson and Jeffery Kadlic
co-founders and managing partners
Evolution Capital Partners
When Jeffery Kadlic and Brendan Anderson met, the experience and business knowledge of each turned into the evolution of a new way of investing within small and midsize markets. They realized that there was a niche in small and midsize markets that was begging for the attention of investors to obtain the appropriate capital and business plan that could lead to success and growth.
Kadlic and Anderson took a leap of faith in 2005 by co-founding Evolution Capital Partners, and as managing partners of the firm, they quickly became entrepreneurs assisting the small business market.
Their passion for wanting to see small businesses succeed is uncanny, and something both Kadlic and Anderson take pride in. Evolution distinguishes itself from other private equity firms by taking control of the investments and building the company's success rather than buying a company, trimming down the investment, and then selling.
Evolution's specialty and passion is helping small businesses navigate that difficult territory between startup and becoming a large, professional firm. Kadlic and Anderson know the challenges that arise during this phase of a company's growth, and they are experts in providing business owners with the resources, both financing and advising, they need to grow a small business into a booming company.
In addition, Kadlic and Anderson know that small business financing is only one part of developing a business, so Evolution offers a comprehensive approach. The company won't just hand over capital and wish a business good luck. Rather, Evolution will become partners with a business, taking on the burden of any risk involved and offering advisory services to ensure that those companies have the resources to make the right decisions.
The company's continuing ability to reach out to the small business community and grab the attention of businesses looking for an answer to achieve success has delivered significant growth.

How William Scott Duennes is setting the standard for social responsibility at Cornucopia
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Education and Non-profit
William Scott Duennes
executive director
Cornucopia, Inc.
Before the term "social enterprise" was coined, Cornucopia, Inc./Nature's Bin, under the direction of William Scott Duennes, was a leader in setting the standard for socially responsible companies in northeast Ohio.
Duennes joined Cornucopia in 1986 and in just one year, due to his display of leadership qualities, the board of directors approached him about transitioning into the role of executive director. He accepted, and the organization has been flourishing ever since.
Cornucopia is a nonprofit organization that operates five community-based vocational training sites providing opportunities and employment services to people with disabilities. The primary training location is Nature's Bin, a retail grocery store that Cornucopia operates.
Throughout Duennes' tenure as executive director, he has maintained a focus on the organization's mission to help people with disabilities develop their skills, confidence and workplace potential. This is evidenced by the partnerships that Cornucopia has made with retail and non-retail organizations.
Duennes decided to expand beyond the retail world with respect to rehabilitation training to meet the needs and interests of the individuals the program serves. Cornucopia placed 40 individuals with disabilities that were part of its training program into competitive employment in 2012.
To emphasize the organization's focus on rehabilitation efforts and related success, Duennes recently arranged for the income statement to list rehabilitation revenue ahead of Nature's Bin retail operation revenue.
While maintaining a steadfast focus on the training program affiliated with Cornucopia, the retail business associated with Nature's Bin continues to thrive, breaking industry norms by being more than just an organic food market, and widening its target market base by appealing to the needs of people in the community.
Specifically, through product diversification and its ability to identify, develop and serve niche sub-markets, the organization under Duennes' leadership is an industry leader in sales per square foot, averaging 32 percent more than its competitors.

How Michael Purcell helped Global Cash Card break into the pay card industry
Financial Services
As executive vice president and CMO of Global Cash Card, Michael Purcell has faced both trouble and triumph throughout his journey as an entrepreneur, which began in the staffing industry.
It was during this time that Purcell realized there had to be a better way to distribute payroll to employees across the nation. Though this was uncharted territory, he knew that an electronic pay system would save time and money for employers and employees. This creative spark helped to transform a traditional staffing business into a cutting-edge business.
Breaking into the pay card industry was no easy feat. In its inception, no one knew what a pay card was or if it was even legal. There was no product, no demand and there were no clients. As time passed, the innovative idea of a pay card finally caught on, but there was still the challenge of client trust to overcome.
What sets Global Cash Card apart from its competitors is flexibility and client service. Off-the-shelf software does not fit the diversified needs of many companies. As a solution, Global Cash Card developed an in-house software system, and it is the only company in the industry that provides a live demo of the system.
Global Cash Card's unique value is that there is no charge to the company to implement the system. The formula of success equals customer service and a flexible system is exemplified by the fact that the company has been able to acquire one new client every day for the last three years, with more than 15 percent coming from competitors.
The company continues to innovate and was the first company in its industry to create a mobile app and help companies become 100 percent paperless. As the company continues to grow, Purcell's goal is to be at the forefront of the newest payroll technology.

How Stephen Gordon created Opus Bank to initiate positive change in its communities
Financial Services
Throughout Stephen Gordon's distinguished 25-year financial and investment banking career, he's served in executive leadership positions with rapidly growing and successful financial services firms focusing on investment banking, retail banking and commercial banking.
During the worst economic cycle in decades, Gordon recognized that the lack of available credit and liquidity was severely stifling the growth of small and midsize businesses and entrepreneurs, thereby impeding job growth, business expansion and economic recovery.
At the height of the financial crisis, through his vision, leadership and perseverance, Gordon raised millions of dollars to recapitalize a small bank based in the South Bay area of Los Angeles, which he rebranded as Opus Bank. Gordon, who is chairman, president and CEO of Opus, created a community bank with a clean balance sheet and positioned it to infuse capital funding and liquidity back into its local economies.
In the two years since its recapitalization, Opus Bank has grown tenfold to 54 locations in California and Washington. This success has resulted in Opus Bank becoming the fastest growing bank in the Western region.
The bank's growth was aided by two rapid follow-on acquisitions and additional capital infusion, which required a clear vision and relentless focus on driving out inefficiencies and redundancies, while maintaining an unfailing focus on the client and the community. This growth has allowed Opus to provide billions of dollars in capital funding through 750 loans to small and midsize commercial businesses, entrepreneurs, real estate investors and professionals.
To achieve Gordon's vision of returning to the old days of banking, where bankers respected their clients and clients relied on and respected their bankers, Opus has broadened its business lines to include advanced treasury management and payment solutions, fiduciary banking and other highly valued features that deliver efficiencies for clients. These business lines complement the bank's more traditional business lines: retail banking, residential lending and income property banking.

How Scott Becker is growing Chromaflo Technologies with flying colors
NEO Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year
Distribution and Manufacturing
Scott Becker
president and CEO
Chromaflo Technologies Corp.
Scott Becker's story begins 33 years ago when he was hired as a color matcher for a London-based company in Pennsylvania. After a highly successful journey through the colorants business, Becker now leads a nationally recognized supplier — Chromaflo Technologies Corp.
As president and CEO of Chromaflo, an independent global colorant provider to the coatings and thermoset plastics markets, Becker has turned opportunity to success using the recession, targeting customer needs, and carefully strategizing partnerships and acquisitions. At his core, Becker wants what is best for the company, its people and its customers.
The way in which he has handled the company's challenges only reiterates his passion for success. While at a company called Plasticolors, Becker had a vision to transform what was a single-focus, small business into a global leader. Becker spent several months convincing shareholders to take a leap of faith with the acquisition of Colortrend, which would launch the company into a broad range of markets. The acquisition of Colortrend transformed Plasticolors into what the business is today as Chromaflo.
One main component of Becker's success is his philosophy of "give the customers what they want." That attitude resonates throughout the company, from the customer service to the business's alliances and partnerships. He uses a "less rules" strategy in his customer service department and is in constant contact with his customers to understand their needs and demands.
That philosophy helped Becker and Chromaflo to grow the business during the recession while others were cutting back. In 2008-09, Chromaflo was building opportunity and gaining customers, and didn't have to partake in any layoffs. Becker's leadership helped transform Chromaflo and increase market share, leaving other companies to catch up.
Thanks in part to Evonik Industries' Colortrend acquisition, which Becker orchestrated, Chromaflo has grown substantially in the last three years. The company's employee count has more than tripled.

"Livability simply means would you want to live here? Do your children want to stay here once they are grown up?" said Johnnie Aycock, a consultant for the Washington-based group Partners for Livable Communities, one of the partners for the project.
The first discussion, which was held in April, focused on identifying priorities in the following areas: cultural development, health, transportation, education, housing and community engagements. Participants were asked to fill out surveys about their most important priorities.
"We went to every single county and asked three questions," said Jennifer Maddox, president of the Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama, one of the partners for the project. "We asked what do you love about your community, what would you like to change and where do you see the future of your community?"
Aycock presented the results of over 5,400 survey responses from the East Alabama Region. Employment opportunities and quality education were the top two priorities for Cleburne County residents.
"Unemployment continues to be a problem," said Aycock. "More people are moving outside of the region to work."
Aycock said that many residents desire industrial growth and downtown revitalization but are still hesitant about outside businesses coming into the community.
"It's a delicate balance," Aycock said. "You want the small-town feel but you also want the opportunity to grow."
Aycock said residents took great pride in the outdoor beauty of the region but were also concerned about maintenance of local parks. Aycock said there is a need for leadership at the local and regional level in order to achieve these overall community goals.
"Growing leadership, both private and public is critical," said Aycock. "That is either where you move forward or you don't."
Partners for Livable Communities and the East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission will continue to hold public discussions across the 10 counties through the month of August. The partnership hopes to come up with a proposed plan for the region by November and a final plan in January 2014.
"To make East Alabama the most livable region in the state and eventually the South is our goal," Aycock said.

My husband and I just had a
wonderful Anniversary dinner at Club A. We requested a window table aseat he ambiance is both relaxing and romantic. The escargot was awesome and plenty for us to share. For our entree, we opted for the porterhouse for 2. My husband requested the strip be medium and the fillet medium-well for me. The chef accommodated us and the steak was cooked perfectly to our individual liking. The mushrooms and mashed potatoes were very tasty. Cream puffs are amazing! We were celebrating our anniversary and the owner stopped by and treated us to complimentary after dinner drinks and tortufo. Our waiter was very attentive and didn't rush us through our meal. We will definitely go back again! Casual to dressy attire."

Picked this restaurant as a
special treat for my wife's 50 th birthday. We weren't disappointed on every level , food, service ambiance were very special. They took a photograph of myself and my wife with a birthday cake they provided foc and presented it to us. I had a New York Strip and my wife had a Fillet steak , they were both 2 of the biggest and nicest steaks ever. "

Although I lived in NYC for 8
years prior, this was my first day here on a business trip and was dining solo. I knew of all the comp food items given. Well, after ordering my dinner and anxiously awaiting my mushroom ravioli app, I sat there, and nothing ever came. I saw the large plates of mushroom ravioli served to individuals at various tables, then asked about it. When it did come, a single ravioli was served on a small, tiny bread plate (unlike what was served to the other guests) and I was NOT happy to say the least. Throughout dinner, my waiter was very inattentive. As a single diner I felt extremely ignored and dissed. For these reasons I would say the service was BAD. Pay attention to single diners too. Do better waiter guy."

I had a meeting in NYC on my
wife's birthday so we decided to combine my business trip with her celebration. I picked Club A because it was highly rated on Trip Advisor and was close to the hotel since we had got tickets to the Yankees game that night and needed to be quick. I had no expectations going in but it turned out to be very memorable. Food was very good but the service was great and is what will make this dinner stand out from the rest. They brought a nice birthday desert to my wife, took our picture, and the owner brought out a copy along with a note he signed thanking us. Wait staff was great too. "

My GF and I celebrated our one
year anniversary here and it was a very memorable night. The service was absolutely fantastic! We were seated upstairs in a very quiet part of the restaurant by the window. Although it did get busy later on, we felt like things were very private. We were also given a complimentary appetizer, dessert and they even took and printed a photo of us. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Oh and the food, it was good. I'm not going to lie, I'm a die hard peter lugers fan so the steaks here were not quite as good (but still very tasty and well preppared). The brussel sprouts were killer too. Highly recommend this place!"

What a gem of a restaurant. The
place feels like an upmarket New York restaurant should, classy but with bags of style so just like the rat pack. Service is attentive and friendly, wine is top drawer but the star of this show is the steak. Without doubt the best tasting piece of meat I have ever eaten, flavoursome, juicy and big. Go for the New York Strip and I promise you won't be disappointed. Simply brilliant."

The service, food, location,
ambiance, and did I mention the food? It was all simply amazing! The waiters are there to assist you with any request. You wont need a knife with the steak! A fork will cut through it just like butter. Go visit this place for world class service and food!"

We were celebrating our
Anniversary and wanted to try a different Steakhouse in NYC. We picked Club A Steakhouse - it was wonderful! A true dining experience to be remembered from start to finish. The steaks were incredible, the mushroom ravioli appetizer was awesome and the special desserts were delicious!! It was great to see Bruno, (the Owner) come to all the tables to say hello and check on everything. He's an owner who really cares! (Turns out he has a friend in Wayne, NJ and I knew their daughter from High School, it really is a small world!!). I would highly recommend dinner here anytime! It's wonderful for a special occassion but Club A Steakhouse would make any dinner a Special Occassion!! We can't wait to return!!"

I'm not from NY, so I looked and
searched online for a restaurant to go to while visiting. After reading many positive reviews, I decided to reserve a table for two over the weekend. The steak and salmon we ordered was delicious and we also received complimentary dessert and appetizer. We sat by the windows overlooking the street and had a nice view. Overall I'd recommend this to anyone out there who's looking to celebrate a special occasion."
Dined on 4/12/2014
This is based on one experience
which I don't think is representative of their normal service. We had the Canadian bacon to start which was fatty and tasty. Then we had the porterhouse for 2 along with 3 sides. The steak was good and holds up well to the other top steakhouses. Then our service completely disappeared. No one cleared our table. We just sat there for 30 minutes until I had to flag down another waiter who was apologetic and offered us dessert on the house. By then we wanted to leave so we said no thanks and then were offered a drink instead, which we also refused. So why the 4 rating? The food/atmosphere was good and the service just dropped the ball, which happens especially on a weekend night - hopefully rarely though!"

First visit to Club A to entertain
a friend/client couple. Wanted a leisurely post matinee dinner away from the theater district so that we did not feel rushed. This was the perfect spot. Friendly and welcoming staff. We were encouraged to take our time ... and we did. Prompt cocktail service, then appetizers and dinner. Everything was excellent. The wait staff was friendly and conversational, not "snobby." The owner, Bruno visited to make sure everything was fine. We had two excellent bottles of wine that were decanted exquisitely. I assume it was our top shelf beverage choices, but we got a complimentary fruit and pastry platter which was plenty for all of us. The staff and owner made us feel like our presence was truly appreciated."

What a fantastic overall
experience! This was our first time at Club A and we felt right at home from the start. Everyone we were in contact with from the restaurant was very service oriented anc made as feel so welcome. A very nice touch was that all tables had a wine decanter, which motivated us to have a bottle. it was wonderful and reasonably priced. The steak was perfectly seasoned and the doneness level was spot on. That is also the case with the swordfish - probably the best I've ever had! This is a great restaurant to try."

The best meal we had in New York
by a country mile. Exceptional attentive service, without being over bearing. We booked this to celebrate a special birthday and the overall ambience was spot on. Perfect for a romantic meal. In terms of cost, it's not cheap but you certainly get what you pay for. I would unreservedly recommend this restaurant for anyone seeking that somewhere a bit special."

Very elegant and fancy. However,

We chose Club A because it was
rated the number 1 on Trip Advisor. The food was very good but not the best in the city. We had the rib eye steak which I found hard to believe was 24 ounces. It was cooked perfectly but could have had more seasoning. The sauces that accompanied it were nothing special. The Club A sauce was just glorified ketchup. The best part of our meal was the complementary porcini mushroom ravioli. The wine by the glass selection could be improved. Club A did an outstanding job making my daughter feel special on her birthday. We had a complementary dessert plate with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate. They also took a photo of us, printed it,and the owner presented it to us. Overall, a nice experience."

We took our 3 children and they
went out of their way to help with them ordering. The food took quite a while but they were very busy andr seeing as the ambience was so good you didn't really notice the wait. In the end, of whom we can only imagine was the owner, came up to chat and offer complimentary sambuca. He was the most charming man. We would recommend this resturant."

Club A Steakhouse delivered the
best meal I've ever had! We dined on a Wednesday night and our waiter Dan could not have been more attentive. From helping to suggest a wine both to compliment the food and within our budget to comping us starters and dessert he was great. The food itself was heavenly. The mixed grill for 2 was cooked to perfection and I enjoyed every mouthful. The side orders were also very tasty, we had sauteed broccoli, garlic fries and truffle mac and cheese (mmmm!!). If I return to New York, I will be booking a table here no question! The owner also took our picture and printed it as a momento to take away which was a lovely touch. Thank you to all of the staff for a truly lovely evening, especially Dan & Bruno"

We had a lovely time at Club A
Steakhouse. The interior decor is just lovely and creates a great ambience. The service was superb, the menu comprehensive and the food itself delicious. My steak was cooked to perfection and they kindly offered me a piece of steak off the sharing menu as I felt the steak on the menu was a little too large for me! The vegetable dishes were delicious and the desert superb too-really light carrot cake and the tiramasu was also light and full of flavour. My only suggestion for improvement would be to improve the bread offered when you first sit down. We had a delicious fruit bread but the french baguette was not great (although we only found one place in New york that did french bread well!)"

Got recommended by TripAdvisor and
can't do other than to add myself to the crowd that solute this restaurant. The taste on all dishes was outstanding and their 18oz "NY Steak" was one of the best pieces of meat I have eaten ever. Perfectly grilled, perfect inside and extremely tender and high quality on the meat. A lot of "complementory on the house" was served. A middle ravioli dish with mushrooms that was define. However, the service was so-so. A few rookies by the waiters caused some confusions and things that was forgotten and had to tell 2-3 times. This lowered the overall in the the service category. BUT in total it can't budge the overall view of 5 out of 5 as the food was fantastic. A must visit next time you are in New York."

This restaurant doesnt know what
it is, it has a general feeling of trying to be something it isnt. The fillet steak was nice however the massive portions of chips and a plate full of oinion rings gave the whole meal a "bargain bucket" feel Furthermore the silence provides a horrendous atmosphere and waiters stand there waiting for you to finish, which, eating whilst being watched is not very nice to say the least"

We had a superb evening in the
Company of Bruno and his staff, especially Frank. They really made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, but were not too much around us either - kept the balance between attentive but not intrusive. As the evening progressed Bruno, the owner stopped by to see we were all happy, and then after he found out one of our party had a birthday, he arrived after the main course with a lovely desert complete with candle, and a signed photo - really generous. The steak we ordered (Poterhouse - which Franks helped us decide on deciding since we did not know Americal cuts), was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. We would go again without any hesitation."

Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the Westby Cormac McCarthy
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Cormac McCarthy's masterwork, Blood Meridian, chronicles the brutal world of the Texas-Mexico borderlands in the mid-nineteenth century. Its wounded hero, the teenage Kid, must confront the extraordinary violence of the Glanton gang, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians. Loosely based on fact, the novel represents a genius vision of the historical West, one so fiercely realized that since its initial publication in 1985 the canon of American literature has welcomed Blood Meridian to its shelf.
"The book reads like a conflation of the Inferno, the Iliad, and Moby Dick...an extraordinary, breathtaking achievement." John Banville, The Independent
"A classic American novel of regeneration through violence. McCarthy can only be compared with our greatest writers, with Melville and Faulkner, and this is his masterpiece." Michael Herr
"McCarthy is a born narrator, and his writing has, line by line, the stab of actuality. He is here to stay." Robert Penn Warren
About the Author
Cormac McCarthy was born in Rhode Island in1933 and spent most of his childhood near Knoxville, Tennessee. He served in the U.S. Air Force and later studied at the University of Tennessee. In 1976 he moved to El Paso, Texas, where he lives today. McCarthy's fiction parallels his movement from the Southeast to the West — the first four novels being set in Tennessee, the last three in the Southwest and Mexico. The Orchard Keeper (1965) won the Faulkner Award for a first novel; it was followed by Outer Dark (1968), Child of God (1973), Suttree (1979), Blood Meridian (1985), All the Pretty Horses, which won both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award for fiction in 1992, and The Crossing.

Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Is the Greatest Mortality Risk for Diabetes PatientsPosted: Tuesday, February 28, 2012
Millions of people with diabetes won't die from that disease but instead from heart disease.
Although diabetes-associated heart disease is caused by a multitude of factors, it is typified by changes in heart structure and function independent of high blood pressure and disease in the major arterial blood vessels. This condition is known as diabetic cardiomyopathy.
The molecular mechanism(s) that links diabetes to cardiomyopathy are not well understood. Hill and colleagues found that FoxO proteins were persistently activated in the heart of mice with a condition that models type 2 diabetes and that FoxO activity was linked with the development of cardiomyopathy. Importantly, deletion of FoxO1 in heart muscle cells markedly reduced the development of cardiomyopathy. These data led Hill and colleagues to conclude that activation of FoxO1 is critical for the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy and suggest that FoxO1 could be a promising therapeutic target for diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Metabolic stress-induced activation of FoxO1 triggers diabetic cardiomyopathy in mice.

MASholidays And UCSI Group To Offer Nation's First Inbound Education Travel Programmes
Subang, 01 August 2011 : UCSI Group, the parent organisation of UCSI University, and MASholidays, the travel and tour arm of Malaysia Airlines, are teaming up to offer Malaysia's first education travel programmes. The two entities signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) today at UCSI University in Kuala Lumpur to package a series of "Edu-Vacation Youth Programmes" for young adults abroad. MASholidays signed the MoU with three of the Group's subsidiary companies, the UCSI Professional Academy, the UCSI Extension, Sarawak and UCSI University, Terengganu, to promote leadership, English language skills and multiculturalism to young people.
"The Edu-Vacation Youth Programmes will help youth develop the mindsets and skills to create and introduce wholesome approaches and more options in their lives to make healthier decisions," said Gracie Geikie, Director of the UCSI Extension, Sarawak. "The aim is to assist youth in the development of a concrete skill base that orients students towards personal health and well being and enabling them to be effective leaders in their schools and communities."
Malaysia Airlines, Executive Vice President, Commercial Strategy, Dato Dr Amin Khan said, "In addition to promoting youth development, the programmes also aim to promote Malaysian culture and reinforce the nation's status globally as a leading tourist and education destination. We are pleased that UCSI Group recognises the huge potential of this market segment and is partnering with us to develop this niche product."
Under the agreement, MASholidays and UCSI Group will jointly develop and market the education packages. The three distinct programmes, based in Kuala Lumpur, Terengganu and Sarawak, respectively, offer week-long packages geared to teenagers and college students. Though all offer a combination of leadership, language and team-building training, each package is tailored to offer unique, cultural Malaysian experiences customised to each individual location.
In addition to the Edu-Vacation Youth Programmes, both MASholidays and UCSI Group are committed to promoting nation-building through their involvement with the government's Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) to transform Malaysia into a high-income nation by 2020. UCSI University is currently spearheading Entry Point Project 10 - Hospitality and Tourism Education Cluster within the ETP's "Education" focus area to improve the quality and quantity of workers within Malaysia's hospitality and tourism industry. UCSI Group is also developing a 160-acre health, education and tourism township in Bandar Springhill, Negeri Sembilan as part of Entry Point Project 14, also within ETP's "Education" focus area.
The Edu-Vacation Youth Programmes will be available for registration by Monday, 1 August. For more information visit http://holiday.malaysiaairlines.com

I loved watching it!
Oh my gosh, Vic did an AMAZING job! And I admire her restraint -- I thought for sure I'd be getting a love letter to puffins when I clicked on the link. ;-)
Proud Member of the SSMKA, GBOCL & A.M.A.D.A.N.
Keepin' the board alive, one post at a time.
Now I know what to expect in Hotlanta......glad you had fun folks....and here's to many more maniacal years!!!
FeverCon 2010!
That was a fantastic job Vic!!! Thanks so much for putting it together. as Lis said, Scotland is as beautiful as I thought it would be, brings a longing to my heart. I am a hills and water girl and was just beautiful country!! Looks like ya'll had too much fun!!! Wish I could join you in Ireland! Even if I had the money, they don't make a valium that strong. I would have to be wheeled on feet first! LOL Clasutrophic I am and don't like heights either!! You ladies have a great time, and have a drink for me!
There's no way I can get my hands on that kind of money before January 1st!!!
And I don't think I could take that much time off of work.
Man!! I wish I'd known about it sooner!!! I definitely would have gone!!!
"Seduction begins with the promise of touch, not touch itself. The deliberate withholding of it until the moment is exquisitely right. I've been known to devote days to heightening the tension to the perfect pitch. To seduce a woman using just one thing? My mouth, I confess, for selfish reasons. I adore slow, hungry kisses, trailing them over every inch of her body. Where sex with me can sometimes be demanding, my tongue is always gentle. Relentless, but gentle."

METAXPON ("Metachron" in Greek letters) is a small and fast audio DSP library for time-scale manipulation of 16-bit integer or 32-bit floating point stereo audio data streams. It employs a rigid phase-locked vocoder with dedicated transient detection and processing, and can work in real-time or non-real-time. Four editions are included - a portable edition and three x86 editions. The portable edition can be built with any ANSI C compiler and is OS- and architecture-independent. The three x86 editions are written in assembly using the FPU, 3DNow!, and SSE instruction sets, respectively, with automatic selection between them depending on the CPU capabilities. They can be compiled with MASM, JWASM, or NASM, producing libraries of object files in 8 formats.
Capstone is a disassembly framework with the target of becoming the ultimate disasm engine for binary analysis and reversing in the security community. Running on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Solaris, it can disassemble ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), MIPS, PPC, and x86 architectures. Capstone provides rich details about disassembled instructions along with useful semantic information.
Limbo is a PC Emulator (x86) based on QEMU for Android devices. It lets you run a Desktop OS like Debian or DSL Linux on your Android device with Network and X Windows. Limbo works with Live CD ISOs and pre-installed hard disk images created with QEMU, VMWare, Bochs, or Virtual PC emulators.
BugOS is a microkernel operating system. It has a kernel, device drivers, a file system, and an Internet module. The main concepts are that every process has its own computer with its own console, security, and modularization. If a process wants to read the file, it asks the kernel. The kernel forwards the request to the filesystem driver, which reads and writes through the partition handler, which operates over the idehdd driver. The kernel is around 20 KB. Processes are fully separated from hardware.
cpuid.c is a very simple C abstraction that provides an interface to common cpuid feature flags. It can be useful when implementing dynamic CPU feature dispatch that relies on optional processor feature extensions or basic processor-specific variables. This package is meant to be a very simple feature detection interface that you can easily integrate into your project. It is not meant to be complex and it is geared for projects implementing dynamic CPU feature dispatch.
Disko is a user interface application framework for the fast and simple development of flexible applications on embedded Linux systems, with a particular focus on interactive user interfaces. It is high-performance and easy to learn, and due to its architecture is well suited to creating complex applications.
BEYE (Binary EYE) is a portable advanced file viewer with a built-in editor for binary, hexadecimal, and disassembler modes. It contains a highlighting Java/AVR/i86-AMD64/ARM-XScale/PPC64 disassembler, full preview of MZ, NE, PE, LE, LX, DOS.SYS, NLM, ELF, a.out, arch, coff32, PharLap, and rdoff executable formats, a code guider, and many other features.

Soft Structured Carriers
Boba Classic Baby Carrier
" This carrier is amazing. I got it just after my son turned 2 years old. I have been carrying him for just about a year. And we love it. He loves the back carry but we also do front carries for when he is tired. I am a very small mama. 105lbs 5'2". And this carrier is perfect for me. My son does not care too much for the foot straps, But they can be a good thing. I also use this carrier..." --Kasey Goodnough
Boba Carrier Organic 2G
" I couldn't rave enough about the Boba Carrier. I love it so, so much and my son adores it as well. The bad around the waist is so nice and large it makes it very comfortable, along with the straps and the part that goes around baby is so large, you can tell they feel nice and supported inside it, and it also makes for a perfect carrier for older babies. So if you have a tall, big baby like I..." --Ps Mamae
BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original
" This is the carrier I used for small infants. It is the easiest to get them into and out of. I own two of the same ones, one for in the house and one for the car. Also good for babies who like to face outwards. Once the babies get bigger, though, the straps dig into your shoulders. It is great for easy, short trips like the grocery. " --nicolerenee515

West Midlands ambulance chief among New Year Honours
9:51am Tuesday 31st December 2013 in News
A FORMER district councillor and current chair of a national naval association has picked up an OBE.
Chris Dovey, from Tenbury Wells, chairs the Royal Naval Association and has been handed the gong for voluntary service to naval personnel in Worcestershire.
The 68-year-old, a former Malvern Hills District Councillor for the Conservatives, began his chairmanship term with the RNA in 2010 having been involved with the group for 25 years.
He says he is "delighted by the news" which he found out while on a train to meet RNA colleagues back in November.
"My wife, Gail, called me to say I'd had this letter from the Cabinet Office with 'urgent' written on it," he said.
"I asked her to open it and that's when I found out. She cried. I was astounded really but am delighted with it."
Mr Dovey spent three years as a district councillor for Tenbury but left after feeling he couldn't commit enough time to the role.
He said he is actively involved in issues throughout Tenbury, including being chair of the town's Flood Relief Fund.
He has also been involved in improving community transport for town residents.
AN assistant headteacher who recently celebrated 100 terms of teaching has been given an MBE for services to education.
David Kemp, assistant head at Bromyard's Queen Elizabeth Humanities College, says he hasn't a clue who nominated him, but his delighted all the same.
"I am naturally delighted to have been nominated for this award," said Mr Kemp, who joined the school as a music teacher in 2005. He has been a teacher just for over 33 years.
"I often feel very guilty about my job because I thoroughly enjoy what I do and also get paid for it and now I have also received this award," said the 55-year-old, who lives in Bromyard.
"I have just completed my 'centenary term' in education and what a way to celebrate it."
Alongside QE headteacher Michael Goodman and deputy headteacher Bonnie Griffiths, Mr Kemp has helped oversee a dramatic improvement in the school's GCSE results.
Students recording five or more GCSE's including English and Maths at the venue has risen from 34 per cent in 2010 to 80 per cent in 2013.
THE top man at West Midlands Ambulance Service is "very honoured" to be included in this year's New Year honours list.
Chief executive Anthony Marsh, who has been with the service for more than 25 years, is receiving the Queen's Ambulance Service Medal (QAM).
As we have reported, Mr Marsh is held in such high regard that he has been called in to help tackle problems on the other side of the country at East of England Ambulance Service.
He is becoming chief executive of that trust from tomorrow in a job-share arrangement with his current position, although patients in the West Midlands have been assured that their service will not suffer as a result.
Mr Marsh paid tribute to his colleagues right across West Midlands Ambulance Service.
"I am very honoured to have received this award. Whilst I have been extremely fortunate to receive it, this is down to the hard work of everyone involved in the ambulance service," he said.
"There is not a day goes by that I do not see or hear about the actions of staff that makes me immensely proud to be part of the ambulance service."
