Cafe Luxembourg Ratings and Reviews
the lunch menu is very interesting havin a variety of salads,mains, as well as a delicious omlet.the service and ambiance are always lovely, and its a very pleasant place for brunch.or dinner.the dessert this time wasnt very tasty-a cobbler that seemed more like cereal-a lot of granola instead of a struesel topping, and not enough fruit.
otherwise everything was delicious-
We happened to find Cafe Luxembourg while searching for an after theater stop. What a find! The appearance from sidewalk to inside entranced me to stay. Our waiter definitely knew his business. Cocktails were exquisite -- Manhattan, Applejack, and Moscow Mule. What a pleasure to find an omelette in the menu. It was very good. Just can't wait to visit again on our next trip to the city.
So good! Went before a show at the Beacon (just a few blocks away); I had the Luxemburger with greens, my husband had the fish and chips. Both were simple and EXCELLENT. Topped it off with coffees and a delicious, crispy, caramel bread pudding that we shared. With drinks, under $100! Rare in NYC...
Arrived for an early dinner and was seated promptly. Hostess brought water immediately but I did not see wait staff for a solid twenty minutes. The restaurant was relatively empty when I arrived but filled quickly. The two tables on either side of me did not experience the same service gap. Food was great but service lacking.
Café Luxembourg should be a case study at restaurant school on how to stay the same while constantly becoming slightly more fabulous. The French bistro decor, one of New York's first has rightly remained the same and the menu is a perfect balance of bistro favorites and newer tweaks, executed perfectly. Trés délicieux
Been living on the UWS for 25 years and had no idea this place was so vibrant...most UWS places are done by 10 pm, this place was still going strong...loved it, will be back very soon, also just two blocks from movies on 68th Street. Great service, food and ambience.
I made a reservation for 7 on the afternoon that I proposed to my partner in Central Park. The staff was VERY accommodating to our group and flexible with the reservation as it was a surprise and I wasn't sure exactly when we (the newly engaged couple) would arrive. Staff had bottles of Prosecco waiting at the table and were very attentive and classy throughout our 2+ hour stay. Thank you, Cafe Luxembourg! We will be returning for years to come!!
Café Lux is our favorite when we're going to Lincoln Center. The host/hostess are always welcoming (and the crowd coming in and going out in that small space would put me in a less-than-smiling mood!), the classics on the menu don't change and they are always dependently good, the wait staff is efficient and professional. Always a pleasure to dine here.
We loved the Luxembourg Cafe, our favorite from a weekend of wonderful food in NYC. We went after a Met performance for dinner for our anniversary.
Food, service and especially ambiance were great, and we would definitely return and recommend it to friends.
Bob in Philly
We were extremely late and had a play tonmake. They were beyond accommodating. Tgey made what could've been a disaster a very enjoyable evening. Food was excellent, loved the ambiance, and the staff is excellent. The tables are close together if I had to nitpick. Would absolutely go here again for another show.

The day I fly from New York to Miami to attend a kidnap prevention and survival course, I read an article about a foiled abduction of two Americans at a barbershop in Yemen. The kidnappers, it turned out, had chosen their victims poorly: One was a United States Special Ops commando, the other a CIA officer, both attached to the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, Yemen's capital. The Americans shot and killed their would-be abductors. They had followed Andy "Orlando" Wilson's Golden Rule of surviving a kidnapping: Don't get kidnapped.
Wilson, a 43-year-old British Army veteran who once served in Northern Ireland, picks me up on a swampy morning at a Motel 6 in Dania Beach, a suburb of Miami. He is the founder of Risks Incorporated, a private security firm that offers a three-day kidnap and ransom course in which I'm enrolled. A skeptical man with a dark sense of humor who has worked in the security industry for two decades, Wilson moved to South Florida 13 years ago with his then-wife and never left. He has slicked-back hair, blue eyes, and stubble; he looks a bit like a world-weary Ralph Fiennes, with a few extra pounds.
As we drive to an office in nearby Pembroke Pines, Wilson briefs me on the bourgeoning business of international kidnapping. The White House's recent acknowledgment of the accidental killing of two al-Qaida hostages in Pakistan in January, as well as the dark news from Syria in recent months, both overshadows and underscores the fact that kidnappings are a global scourge. As incidents have increased worldwide, a parallel industry has emerged, one that includes insurance companies, negotiators, lawyers, and security firms like Risks Inc. In a 2010 investigation, London's Independent newspaper dubbed this the "hostage industry," and estimated its worth at about $1.6 billion a year.
"You don't have to be rich. People will kidnap you for next to nothing," Wilson says. "Venezuela is out of control. Mexico is out of control." Most of his clients for the Florida course are executives or wealthy individuals who live in high-risk areas, primarily in Latin America. (Wilson also offers the course in Belgrade, Serbia.) Other students have included American businessmen who travel to potentially dangerous locations, security contractors, and an international yacht captain. (Lambros Y. Lambrou, a trial lawyer in Manhattan and a father of two, took Wilson's kidnap course to help ensure his family's safety when they travel to countries like Mexico and Serbia, where his wife is from. "We live in a very uncertain world sometimes," Lambrou says. "Unfortunately, most of the time the only person you have to protect you is yourself.")
Risks Inc. is one of a few dozen private companies I had found that offer kidnap prevention and survival courses. Costs range from about $600 to a couple thousand dollars. Some are entirely in a classroom; others include role-playing. (In one course I found, instructors take students into a forest, cover their heads with pillowcases, and shock them with Tasers during a mock interrogation.) Wilson's course is somewhere in between: part tutorial, part field exercise, tailored to the needs of the client. The company's website promises to "take you into the real world of terrorism and kidnap and ransom!"
In the car, Wilson tells me that the first part of the course stresses his Golden Rule. Many people end up kidnapped, he says, by putting themselves in vulnerable situations—getting into an unmarked cab at the airport in Caracas, Venezuela; visiting dangerous neighborhoods without protection; associating with criminals in any way—and by not being adequately prepared to handle those situations. Once you've been kidnapped, your life is completely in the hands of criminals who view it as a commodity, or worse, a statement. At that point, survival depends on luck, money, and some basic knowledge about kidnappings the course's latter part purports to teach.
In a chilly conference room he's rented, Wilson hands me a copy of a book he wrote about international security and a binder filled with printed news articles about him and his company. Among them are stories about an incident in Mexico a few years ago when videos emerged of Wilson and his colleagues subjecting Mexican police to forms of torture, including waterboarding. News outlets interviewed human rights advocates who accused Risks of teaching Mexican cops how to torture. Wilson says it was the opposite: He was partly trying to teach them how to resist torture, but mostly he was attempting to convey to them the reality of the world they inhabit. "If we can break you with water, what the fuck do you think the cartel is going to do to you?" Wilson says. "It's getting across to people: This isn't a game."
The day's lecture begins with Wilson reinforcing that very point, presenting a slideshow of the bloody aftermath of a gangland shooting in Mexico. As I contemplate a photo of a man slumped in the driver's seat of an SUV with his face shot off, the course's second student arrives. He's skinny and pale, dressed in a pastel polo and khaki shorts. I'll call him Tommy. He shakes my hand, and I note a generous application of cologne.
The best kidnappers are not dumb. They are sophisticated and well organized.
Tommy takes a seat at the conference table, chewing loudly on a piece of gum. He tells us that he drove from his home across the Florida peninsula last night with his wife, who is pregnant with the couple's second child. He's previously attended one of Wilson's firearms classes and has enrolled in the kidnap course in order to learn how to better protect his family—he considers it a Mother's Day gift to his wife. He takes several small knives from his pockets and tosses them on the table. He had sent out a GPS flare from this phone to record his whereabouts upon arriving at the office, just in case.
Hunched over the conference table and flipping through slides on his computer, Wilson walks us through the nuts and bolts of personal security: Be aware of your surroundings; keep a low profile; don't wear anything flashy; always have an escape route; mix up your daily routine; watch for people watching you. "The basics of personal security is awareness and counter-surveillance," Wilson says. "One thing I want you to get in the mindset of during this course is how to think like the criminals." The best kidnappers, he says, are not dumb. They are sophisticated and well organized; they will trail targets for days and know exactly who they're after. The better you understand their methods, the better you can protect yourself. Periodically Wilson pauses and asks in his workingman's British accent, "Any questions?"
Although it's in his business interest to present the world as an inherently hostile place, he clearly believes it to be so, and his computer is filled with evidence to back it up. He turns his laptop screen toward us and plays a short documentary about the rise of kidnappings in Venezuela, where gang members throw captives off highway overpasses if their families don't pay within a few days. He then presents a ghastly slideshow of more Mexican drug war violence: a severed head with bulging eyes, a hand with missing fingers, a body whose head had been dipped in acid.
My palms are clammy, and I find myself groaning audibly at the images. Is this necessary? I wonder. I'm already feeling queasy when Wilson loads a video in which four women are bound and kneeling facing a camera. Three of them are topless. A dozen or so men dressed in black surround them, speaking Spanish. Some hold guns, others axes. I start to feel like I might throw up.
I ask Wilson what's about to happen.
"They get chopped. Axed."
A journalist I admire told me once that you lose a piece of your humanity watching videos like this. The quote comes to mind, and I stand to leave the room.
"All right, all right, all right," Wilson says. "This is why I tell people"—he lowers his voice—"do not … get … kidnapped."

Once again the Globe Soccer Awards, held together with the Dubai International Sports Conference, celebrated the greatest names in football: from Cristiano Ronaldo to Mohamed Salah, from Zheng Zhi to Omar Abdulrahman, Globe Soccer presented awards to football from around the world.
The stars of 2016 were given their awards during the official gala dinner on 27 December 2016 at the striking Madinat Jumeirah Events Centre.
The Winners of 2016
GLOBE SOCCER DREAM FOR CHILDRENGlobe Soccer and the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre
The world of football is a privileged environment, constantly in the spotlight.
Stars whose route to success is often far from easy, men who recall the suffering and sacrifices they have made. This is why it is common to see them give up some of their time and take on the task of helping people, above all children who are their greatest fans. A suffering child affects anyone who is capable of reflecting on our real impotence.
Globe Soccer and the Awards ceremony have always done everything possible to give the football stars who come to Dubai the chance to score a symbolic goal by offering their support to an important cause.
Globe Soccer has confirmed its partnership to support the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre, as part of the "Globe Soccer Dream for Children" charity programme.

The Lightning Thief received mostly positive reviews. Common Sense Media said, "There are two levels of fun in The Lightning Thief. One is the fast-paced quest of a young hero and his friends to save the world..." and added, "Another level of fun here – laughing at the wicked ways the author has updated the gods and monsters for the 21st century".[15] However, it did criticize some aspects of the book describing the prose as "choppy and attitude-filled" and complaining that "[t]he characters aren't emotionally involving". Its overall rating was 4 stars out of 5.[15] Numerous other reviews were more positive. The New York Times praised The Lightning Thief as "perfectly paced, with electrifying moments chasing each other like heartbeats".[16] School Library Journal said in its starred review that the book was "[a]n adventure-quest with a hip edge" and that "[r]eaders will be eager to follow the young protagonist's next move".[9] Kirkus reviews said, "The sardonic tone of the narrator's voice lends a refreshing air of realism to this riotously paced quest tale of heroism that questions the realities of our world, family, friendship and loyalty."[17] Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl called it "A fantastic blend of myth and modern".[18] Finally, Publishers Weekly also praised the book, regarding it as "swift and humorous" and added that the book would "leave many readers eager for the next installment."[19]
On April 8, 2007, The Lightning Thief was ranked ninth on The New York Times Best Seller list for children's books.[20] The Lightning Thief was the winner of the School Library Journal Best Book of 2005[21] as well one of the books in the Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Books List, 2005.[3] It was also in the VOYA Top Shelf Fiction List[3] and was the winner of the Red House Children's Book Award Winner (UK), 2006;[3] Askews Torchlight Award (UK), 2006;[3] and the Mark Twain Award (Missouri Association of School Librarians), 2008.[3][22] It was an American Library Association Notable Book, 2006[23] and a New York Times Notable Book (2005).[24] It received the Young Reader's Choice Award in 2008[25] and the Rebecca Caudill Young Reader's Book Award in 2009.[26][27] Scholastic Parent & Child magazine also included the novel within its 100 "Greatest Books for Kids."[28] When asked about the various awards, Rick Riordan said: "The ultimate compliment for a children's writer is when the kids like it."[29]

A builder told police he 'took a risk' by deciding to drive after drinking.
Andrew Smith, 45, of Ravens Close, Blackpool, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol.
Martine Connah, prosecuting, said police received information the driver of a Rover was possibly under the influence.
Police saw the car on Waterloo Road at 8.15pm on October 5 and stopped it.
A breath test showed he was more than twice over the limit with 78 micrograms of alcohol in his body.
Smith said he left his car because he was supposed to be staying at a friend's, but when he got there the friend was out.
He was very tired and had had nothing to eat so he took a risk and drove.
He was banned from the road for 18 months and fined £110 with £80 costs plus £20 victims' surcharge by Blackpool magistrates.

I woke the next morning warm. My eyes slowly drifted open and I saw a room that was not mine. Papers everywhere. Words scrawled elegantly and meaningfully. I looked down and saw an arm draped over my chest. Bo's arm. I turned my head on the pillow and stared at his sleeping face. Calm and stressless. I moved my arm from my side and careful not to wake him, tucked his hair from his face.
I bit my lip and tried to remember how I had gotten here. On his bed. Sleeping. With him next to me. I woke up in the morning. I thought, remembering my yesterday, Then went to eat, then training...training. Eliza and I had wrestled. And tied. And then she left and... Bo had picked me up and I had fallen asleep in his arms. And he must've carried me into here, I realized with a start; then... I had woken up here. I stared up at the ceiling.
A few minutes later I felt the bed shake a little as Bo yawned and stretched. I turned onto my side, my hands below my head and smiled at him. "Good morning." He blinked tiredly then lazily smiled at me.
"Morning." He leaned forward and gave me a little kiss on my nose. He yawned again. "How was your sleep?"
"Restful." I supplied and we sank into comfortable silence. "How did I get here?" I asked, "What happened last night?"
"Well, you "trained'' all day yesterday, and then as we left, you were in a tie with Eliza, and I carried you and you fell asleep in my arms-which was kind of adorable." He grinned. I lightly hit his shoulder. "And I guess I carried you back here and dropped you on my bed and you slept for..." He looked at a clock on his wall. "Fourteen hours."
"Fourteen? What time was it when we left training?" I asked alarmed.
"Don't worry." He said, "It was around 4-ish and as you slept I left and ate dinner..."
"You didn't wake me up?" I asked.
"You looked really tired. Even when sleeping." He said.
"Chivalry is dead." I muttered and looked at him expectantly for the rest of his story.
"And then I went back here with Finn and we talked and then I fell asleep." I raised my eyebrows at the fact that Finn had been here...and seen me.
"So its 6?" I calculated somewhat sloppily in my head. Bo nodded quietly.
"Two and a half hours until breakfast." He leaned forward and kissed my nose again. I melted into his touch and allowed him to kiss me for what seemed like minutes before he pulled away, smiling shyly and his eyes drifted back close and he leaned on the pillow. "Plenty of time to talk." He said quieter. I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed contently.
"What was your favorite bit of our hike two days ago? I asked him.
"I liked our fighting in the lake."
"I mean your favorite moment." I said softly.
"I liked all of it." He said. I pushed him no further, sensing that he was being condescending on purpose. "What about you?" He asked. I remained quiet not knowing the answer either but to stubborn to say it aloud. He laughed quietly and his eyes drooped shut.
A few moments later a brilliant idea popped into my head and I hit his chest lightly with my palms to wake him up and when he opened his eyes I blurted out: "What if we went and climbed trees. Outside. Please." He smiled.
"Thats a horrible idea." He admitted, unabashedly. "What if we go drink some hot chocolate?"
"Marshmellows?" I asked, grinning a half grin.
"Always." he leaned forward and kissed my nose before rolling out of his bed, quite literally and he walked across the room to his dresser. My eyes widened as I remembered the first thing we had done in the training room yesterday.
"SHOOTIFORGOTMYCLOTHES." I said suddenly, eyes wide, nostrils flared. Bo laughed.
"I took care of it already, Little Liv." He said and faced the wall, pulling off his shirt, exposing his back and then another shirt covered the flesh, and I looked abashedly down at the sheets as he continued putting on fresh clothes. "They're in your room. But you'll be wearing the same thing to day so you don't have to change."
"Thank you." I smiled meekly up at him, daring to look.
"Up." I hear Bo say as a hand wrapped around my arm and pulled me, groaning, off the bed. Tiredly, I stared at Bo, eyes half open. "Come on. Hot chocolate. Marshmellows. Lots of them. And Finn is probably awake. He's always up early." We left his room, my cheeks flushed as I looked behind us at the door. I was the first one to sleep, literally, with a King.
"Your the first one to sleep with a King."
"Only sleep. And I was just thinking that." I said.
"Great minds think alike." He said and leaned down to kiss my forehead, before he started to sprint down the hall. I stood, gaping for a moment, before, painfully running after him. We ran down corridors and finally arrived in the dining hall. For once, it was empty, and I walked down the few steps, and stood, looking around the room for Bo. My hands propped on my hips. He hadn't been that ahead of me. I would've seen the kitchen doors swinging if he'd gone in there.
Suddenly, two hands we behind me, on my hips, a feeling of dread and fear numbed my body, sending a spark of electricity through my heart and I screamed as I fell onto the stone floor, my knees hitting first with my attackers weight and yell.
On the floor I layed still, eyes wide in shock. "Liv?" Asked a concerned Bo from above me, one hand on my shoulder, the other on my side. "It was supposed to be a scare." He said, and scooted on the floor so I was looking at him. "It was me. I didn't suspect that I was that scary." Finally, snapped out of my reverie, I hit his shoulder, still shaking but I got up and allowed him to pull me to my feet, before he pulled me to him, his chest against my back, his arms around my stomach and his lips pressed to the top of my head. He held me as I shook, until I stopped a few minutes later.
Then, he tucked me under his draped arm, and we shuffled together to the kitchen. He pushed open the doors and asked one of the cooks- a red cheeked, green eyes, sunset colored haired girl, for some hot chocolate and a few minutes later, two steaming mugs were given to us. Bo gestured us through the kitchen, to a little, secret alcove in the corner of the kitchen, where four large, padded chairs stood, surrounding a fireplace where one of the seats was filled by Finn, who looked more than interested and amused at the sight of us together this early in the morning.
"Awake this early Liv?" Finn asked, grinning like a maniac, " Does Bo have something to wake you up easier than I do? If so, pray tell. I need to learn." I moved and hit his shoulder with some emphasis as I moved to sit in a seat next to him. The area kind of reminded me of a pre-revolution book.
"What moves does Bo have that I don't?" Finn asked again. His eyes shining in the firelight. He to had a mug of something and he was cradling it to his chest. Before Bo could say something somewhat reprimanding I interrupted him.
"What kind of moves are you talking about?"
The normal high school student, Raven, needs to analyse...

U.S. Senator Pat Roberts today voted to set permanently interest rates for all new Stafford student loans over the life of the loans ensuring certainty for students and parents struggling to finance higher education. Senator Roberts voted in favor of S. 1003, the Comprehensive Student Loan Protection Act.
"Students and parents have faced too much uncertainty and confusion regarding student loan rates because Congress constantly changes the rules of the game," Roberts said. "All a parent and a student really want to know is "how much will it cost to graduate?' By tying all student loans to a fixed market rate, families know what to expect and can plan their budgets accordingly so that kids can focus on what's important -- completing their studies and launching a career."
Set by Congress, the student loan interest rate for Stafford Subsidized Student Loans is scheduled to revert back to 6.8% from 3.4% on July 1, 2013. With the current Treasury note at 1.75 percent, a student who takes out a covered student loan for next year would pay 4.75 percent for the life of that loan under the Roberts-backed bill. That's because The Comprehensive Student Loan Protection Act sets interest rates for all new Stafford loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) and PLUS loans to be based on the 10-year Treasury rate plus 3.0 percent. This will apply to all new loans issued after July 1, 2013. Rates are fixed for the life of the loan.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reports a savings of $15.6 billion over 10 years. Unlike the alternative proposal that only addresses about 40 percent of student loan volume, S. 1003 addresses all federal student loans (subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans and PLUS loans for parents of students and graduate students).
S. 1003 represents the consensus position shared by House and Senate Republicans and the Obama Administration to tie student loan interest rate to market rates.

Chromebooks Probably Receives some Android O features First
At the Google I/O event last year, the company announced that would make Android apps on Play Store run on Chrome OS and Chromebooks and the support would be ready in the fall of 2016. However, since then, the rollout is very slow. Today, beyond the 2017 Google I/O conference, the company announced an update, which had some surprising news relating to Android O as well.
There are currently six Chrome OS devices of Google that can run Android apps on the stable version of the OS. Kan Liu, the senior director of product management for Chrome OS, claimed that running Android apps in Chrome OS was still in the beta state. In addition, he added that Chrome OS currently was "80 percent" ready for running Android apps for most users. However, there is a question that how long it will get that last 20 percent finished before Android app support comes in the form of the beta label. But there's no info on when exactly that will occur.

However, there is one thing that might make Chromebook users happy as every six weeks a stable build of Chrome OS is rolled out. Features that are in development stage for Android smartphones may release on Chromebooks first, because Android has a longer update stage. Liu specifically announced that the Android O app improvements in keyboard shortcuts would start working on apps first on Chromebooks before they hit smartphones.
The upcoming Samsung Chromebook Pro is now ready for pre-order and start selling offline on May 28. It will be the first Chromebook that will be pre-installed a number of Android app features, including window resizing, docking apps, and split-view. Although this news is good, the truth is that Google postpones the plan in 2016 with its Android-Chromebooks plans until now. But we hope to see more progress on this plan the next year.

I am in the middle of taking off a week so it will heal for my tournament this coming weekend, and i had a few questions. I most likely wont be playing until Thursday, and my match will either be friday or saturday, so will this give me enough time to get use to the brace????? If i wear them around the house will that help my ankle get accustomed to them??? Should I get one for my right ankle also?, i have been experiencing minor pains occasionaly in the right, and i was also wondering if i would feel off balance if i had only one on. Will it fit okay into my shoe without feeling cramped or too snug?? I wear the Court Ballistic 1.3 with a Foot Solutions insole (has a high arch). My shoe is a size 7 mens and my ankle measures in at about 9" (so would i get the XS brace?) What color should i get, black or white????? I have the Wh/Black/Yellow version of the ballistic and was wondering which color you think would look better I appreciate your help a ton, tennismsands

Enjoy! 😉
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
Enjoy! 😉
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
One of the many things I love about photography, self-portraits in particular, is that you can tell any story you want about yourself. It's as simple as a costume change, makeup, pose, hair, etc. Me? I thoroughly enjoy getting all dolled up and letting my sexy side show. I thought about just posting the above photograph and leaving it at that, because… damn… I look fucking good. Right? I'm so modest. lol
But I don't always look like this, it takes work to look sexy in an image.
I thought I'd share some of my 'must do's', ways I like to convey sex appeal in my self-portraits:
If you've learned anything, I hope it's that you realized—the sexiest thing you can do is just be your damn self. Even if you look like an idiot most of the time, like I usually do. Trying to keep it real. Enjoy!
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
Like most of you know, I've been avoiding as much news and online garbage since November. Well… recently I've been reminded as to why. I caught myself trying to decipher a few news stories that conflicted with each other. After reading pages upon pages, trying to figure out the actual facts, I started to go a bit crazy. What happened to true journalism? I'd love to just get the story and decide for myself how I feel about it, without everyone trying to shove their own views onto me. I get it, William Tager, I fucking get it!
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
Hope you all have a fantastic Humpday!
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
"Show me your kitties!"
I love my kitties! Not many people have seen my kitties, although many have asked to. Believe it or not, I keep my kitties inside more often than not. They are very pretty kitties though, just the right size, soft, not too firm, the kind that feel really, really good when they rub up against you. I would know, because I'm always touching my kitties, always! But they are mine, so I can….and I do!
I understand that some people want to see as many kitties as possible. I'm kind of with you there, I too, am fascinated with kitties. Just know, you've already seen about as much of my kitties as you will ever see. However, because I'm the type of person that cares about you, and knows that you have needs, I'm going to share something with you….. there is this thing called 'Google', maybe you've heard of it? You can look at kitties all day long if you learn how to use it. Big ones, small ones, some the size of your head! For real, go try it!
If you are a kitty fan like me, here's a little kitty ditty you'll probably enjoy. Whether you like country music or not, the lyrics alone are worth listening to.
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
"It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright."-Stephen King
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
"May all your ups and downs be between the sheets."
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
Who am I? It depends on the context.
I'm always myself, but the side I show varies with the each audience. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, and as much as I admire people who put all of themselves out there 100% of the time, I just can't do it, nor do I want to.
Once I'm comfortable with someone, forget it though…. I'm an open book, they will get all of me whether they want it or not. I'll bring on the perverted, crazy, psychotic that I truly am, but why scare them off right away? Right?
I have many sides, few people are
unlucky enough to get them all. But let's be honest, there are some settings where you just have to refrain from showing your true self, like…
A bake sale at your kids school for example:
Now this… this is where I refrain, because you know what I'm thinking of saying?
That's just one of many examples. The truth is, you get the me that I'm comfortable with showing you.
When I do self-portraits I like to show my sexy side, or my fun side, very seldom will I show or talk about my feelings, which I have many of because, well… I'm a girl.
In a professional setting, I keep it classy, or at least I try to. Sometimes I'll do something stupid and ruin my image. On a few occasions, just recently in fact, I've sent out emails using the wrong email account, the one where my signature links to all of my online shenanigans. Sigh… I might as well have just sent a message saying, "It was a pleasure to work with you, oh by the way…. here's a link if you want to see my ass and read about how much I love sex. Okay then, let's do business again." Arghhh! This is what happens when you have multiple email, Instagram, and Facebook accounts, you lose track.
Oh well, thankfully it takes a lot to embarrass me, I am who I am. You either like me, or you don't.Whatever face I show you, it's still 100% me, it's just usually not all of me at once.
…..And that's what inspired the image above. Every month one of the Self-Portrait groups I'm a part of will hold a photography challenge. This month the theme is 'Duality', a way of showcasing different sides of your personality. Here's the information if anyone is interested in participating.
January Self-Portrait Challenge
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
Playoffs are tonight and I have been anxiously waiting alllllll day for the game to start. Go Pats!!
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
Didn't expect my first self portrait of 2017 to be kind of depressing looking. Geez! I hope this isn't a sign of things to come this year.
I was actually in a decent mood when I took this. Of course, it was only 7am and everyone was still asleep, so I had no reason to be blah….yet. As the day went on however….BLAH! Maybe subconsciously I knew that when the the kids woke up they would act like
awful demon spawns sent here to test every ounce of patience I had "kids". Ah…yes, my little angels! By the end of the day I was run ragged. Didn't help that I also felt old yesterday, I don't usually feel that way, but I'm starting to notice how gravity is taking over my face, and I hate it. Thank goodness for make up, and Photoshop, and boobs that distract people from looking at my face. Even I, in this photo am staring down at my boobs, thinking "you're all that's saving me, don't let me down, boobs!"
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
I received a new Batman shirt (from my hubby) and socks for Christmas, so naturally I had to show my appreciation for them. Does it matter that I bought the socks for myself and put them in my own stocking? No, it doesn't. Look at me appreciating my gifts! 😀
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
Guess what day it is?…..
It's National Chocolate day! Duh! So here's a photo of some chocolate for you.
It's Humpday!
Fine, you were right the first time.
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
Ever need to get away from it all and unplug for a little bit?
Two weeks ago I decided to just go ahead and do it, and I couldn't be happier about my decision. Now I'm not talking about completely disconnecting from my online life, that'd be crazy!! Baby steps, people! But… I did deactivate my personal Facebook account and haven't been online as much since doing that. Notice I didn't say "delete" my Facebook account. Of course I'll be back again at some point, I think?
The last couple of years I've become a bit addicted to Facebook. I'm always on it, even if I'm not interacting. Not that that really bothers me too much. I thoroughly enjoy the online friendships and it's a great place to keep in touch with old friends, and family. I'm the type that loves to know all about you, wants to see your kids, your pets, your selfies, and your daily activities….in a non-stalkery sort of way…. yeah, yeah, let's go with that. I'm also the type that will look in your windows if you leave your curtains open though…in a non-pervy way of course *ahem*. I suppose this is one of the reasons I enjoy self-portraits so much, it's an extra glimpse into the lives of others.
Every time I've thought about taking a break I'd come up with a couple of reasons why I couldn't, these were easy excuses for me to use to stay connected.
I have a few Facebook pages, including the one attached to this blog that is run by my personal page. I didn't want to lose those and couldn't see how to keep one without the other.
So I posed the question on Facebook asking if anyone knew a way around this, thankfully a few friends did and were able to show me the loophole. Once I knew how to do it it took me a few days to convince myself that it was for the best.
See, as much as I love seeing all the good that everyone is up to, it also comes with all the bad negative drama as well. If you have Facebook you know what I'm talking about. *cough, cough* Politics…among other things.
One of the first things I do in the morning is check all of my online accounts, Facebook being one of them. Most mornings I'd checked it just to read the messages I received, but then I'd see my news feed and get sucked in. I would start to scroll through some stuff, skip some other stuff, read some comments, and more comments, and conversations, and before I knew it I'd be over an hour in and extremely annoyed with myself for wasting so much time on reading news I couldn't give two shits about. Not the best way to start the day, and not the way I wanted to spend any free time I had throughout the afternoons and evenings.
At the moment, I don't miss it at all! I still chat with my friends and family, only now it's on my blogs Facebook page, and instead of my news feed being filled with negativity and dumb fucking Minion memes, seriously with the Minion memes… STOP! It makes zero sense to post a photo of a Minion with a deep and meaningful fucking quote!
Let me indulge a bit on this pet-peeve. Why in the fuck would these quotes need a Minion with them?!!! Grrrrrr…..
Tangent there… what was I saying?
Oh yeah, now I get to log onto my blogs Facebook page, read messages and chat, and only see whatever I post there, no negative BS, not my friends or family bickering, no news reports filled with all the bad stuff going on in this world. In this case….ignorance is a bit blissful.
Of course, I'm still a social media whore….but now I'm a happier one. Nothing better than a happy whore, am I right?
You know where to find me….here at the Blog, Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, G+, Email, Smoke signals, Ouija board, AshleyMadison.com… I'm kidding, just seeing if you're paying attention!
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
I'm done!
Done with what exactly? Done trying to pretend I'll catch up and finish my 52 week photography challenge. It's taken everything I have to call it quits, I don't like giving up, but lately…. I'm drained. I have so many other things I have to do, and want to do. So in an effort to remove a bit of stress and maintain some sanity, I have to call it. I still love photography, I just bought a new camera in fact! For now though, I'll be taking photos when I feel inspired, and although the themes do spark my creativity, I've found that I've been putting off taking some of the images I really want to take and instead focusing on themes because I just don't have the time to do both.
I already feel like a weight has been lifted by making this decision. 🙂
This image is one I took yesterday. I actually had a really good day, not that this photo portrays that in anyway at all, but I was able to put a big stress in my life to rest (no, I didn't kill anyone). My original intent was to take a quick photo because I was in such a good mood and it felt nice to be out of jeans and sneakers for a change. Of course, as I was setting up my camera I kept thinking about how I had to catch up on themes, and how I should be focusing on those, how I didn't have time to be taking a photo when I have chores to do and kids to take care of, and blah blah blah…… I could feel things weighing on me. I had been kicking around the idea of quitting the challenge for a while, but that moment and frame of thought solidified it for me.
Today, I focused on chores and kids! Tomorrow, I'm going away for the night with the hubby. I can not wait to sleep naked, and with any luck I'll be completely taken advantage of. I can feel the stress melting away already! 😉
"Type hard, like you mean it!"
The photo theme for week 39 was "Road Less Traveled." My kids seem to find the adventure in everything, here they are "mountain climbing". Was quite the task for them. I hope they can hold on to that imagination for a long time.
"Type hard, like you mean it!"

Advanced Inventory and Asset Management
BarCloud brings inventory and asset tracking into the cloud for anytime, anywhere access to information and reporting.
San Jose, CA (August 23, 2012)—ASAP Systems (http://www.asapsystems.com), the market leader in inventory and asset tracking software, today announced enhanced capabilities for its newly released cloud-computing application, BarCloud. With its new Check In/Check Out feature, users can more efficiently track and manage the inventory and capital assets they have loaned to individuals or other organizations.
Check In/Check Out works much like a library card-companies can attach a due date to assets they are loaning out such as computers, equipment, tools and more. When the asset is checked back in, it`s then made available to others. This new feature is useful for businesses that are "loaning" their assets or inventory to employees or clients, such as construction companies, healthcare clinics and hospitals, emergency response companies and others.
"The Check In/Check Out feature is the latest in a series of new developments for our BarCloud application, all of which are focused on meeting the real-world demands of our customers and making our software as user friendly as possible," said ASAP Systems President and CEO Elie Jean Touma.
For users who want a quick and easy way to transfer their data into BarCloud, the application also provides importing from Microsoft Excel. In addition, BarCloud offers full QuickBook integration so users can synchronize their inventory data with the popular business accounting program, automating repetitive tasks such as generating bills, item receipts, inventory adjustments and invoices.
Launched in July, BarCloud is available to companies and organizations as a web-based application for tracking and managing inventory and capital assets. Data is centralized in a single online workspace, making it easy for employees to share real-time updates, reports and more. All users need is an Internet browser to have complete control of their inventory and asset information anytime, anywhere and on any platform.
For those who want to try BarCloud, ASAP Systems is offering a special promotion through August 31, 2012.* Users can start managing their inventory online for free with BarCloud Lite, a basic version of the application. Go www.asapsystems.com/barcloud/ to register.
About ASAP Systems:
We are ASAP Systems, a market leader in asset and inventory tracking solutions that use barcode and RFID technology with hand-held computers (scanners) and smartphones. We help improve your institution's profitability by eliminating manual data entry, paper files and forms and by automating records and other documents.

Array is a modern collection of ambient LED lamps that offers an unparalleled level of color and brightness control. There are 2 versions of Array, White Spectrum and Color Spectrum. White Spectrum models allow you to fine tune your light color from a cool white, which is ideal for reading and working, to a warm amber light, which is great for dinner parties or winding down at the end of the day. Color Spectrum models allow you to set a more specific mood with either bold pops or soothing blends of colored light. Once the color is dialed in, both versions allow for dimming from 100% - 5% brightness.
Palate is a modern serving tray that elegantly fuses function with luxury. The perfect backdrop for creating a delicious spread, Palate also makes a thoughtful housewarming gift. Palate is crafted from waterjet cut Carrara marble and CNC carved American walnut. The walnut handles make for comfortable lifting and the sealed Carrara marble is easy to wipe clean. Palate is a stunning and thoughtful housewarming gift.
A clever solution for daily use and entertaining, Join can morph from a set of coasters for your beverage into a trivet for your home cooked meal. The dovetail connection on each Carrara marble coaster allows them to tightly interlock and form a solid platform, protecting your table or countertop surface. When not in use, Join stacks neatly within a tailor-made walnut stand. Join is the perfect housewarming or holiday gift.
Plane is a minimal design that adds function, refinement and warmth to any wall. The bent, laser-cut steel mounts flush to the wall and supports 1, 3 or 5 angled wooden peg options. Unlike the thin metal coat hooks on the market, the 1" thick wooden dowels will not crease, stretch or damage your wardrobe overtime. Available in durable powder-coat finishes with white oak or walnut pegs, Plane is a modern family of coat hooks that respects your style. Plane is proudly made in the USA with North American hardwoods.
Honest and premium materials combine to create a satisfying bottle opening experience. The silky surface and substantial weight of polished Carrara marble feel incredible in the hand and the rich anodized brass and silver frame form a durable structure that will open bottles for years to come.
Edge Dominos maintains the traditional number pattern but innovates by using solid aluminum and removing all excess material. Travel-size and light weight, Edge works just as well on the go as it does around the home. The durable black metal finish and laser engraved number pattern will never scratch off, ensuring that the game will be played for generations. Minimal and unexpected, Edge Dominos brings new life to a classic game.
A beautiful interplay of translucency and reflection, Cradle Vase sets a new standard for object desire. Smoke tinted glass nests within an elegant brass-plated steel frame to create a vessel that will elevate your space. The thin lines of the frame mimic the delicate stem of a flower while the organic form of the glass compliments any arrangement.
Radial is a delightful and interconnect-able family of candle holders. The gear-like structure allows each size to interlock and nest together to form beautiful and unexpected arrangements. The simple machined details allow each design to fit both taper and tea candles and the reflective and durable anodized finishes shine brightly in the candle light. Available in 3 sizes and 3 finishes, the Radial collection brings a modern sophistication and rich materiality to any environment.

Funding has been received thanks to the Arts Council England, The Elmley Foundation, The Open for Business Award by Worcestershire County Council and The Xpressions Grant Scheme. The Big Print Shop will be sponsoring the initiative.
The subway will be transformed into a documentary of surrounding local architecture reflecting the regeneration plans set to unfold in Kidderminster.
Loz Samuels, Wyre Forest District Council's Arts and Play Officer said:
"Comberton Hill has become a place of change over the last 5 years, with a range of subway art projects transforming it into a more welcoming space than it was previously. It has also inspired the Above Boards event which will happen again this year on the 21 and 22 August. I look forward to seeing everyone's photos!"
Local photographers are asked to produce black and white images of Kidderminster's architecture to create a striking collage throughout the subway.
Photographers are asked to email images to firstname.lastname@example.com. It is suggested that larger images can be sent using WeTransfer.com or delivered on a CD to:
Wyre Forest House, Finepoint Way, Kidderminster DY11 7 WF by Wednesday 3 June 2015. Please note that earlier submissions will be prioritised. Images must be at least 75DPI but 150DPI is preferred and black and white only.

Delegation in Geneva over Moluccan crisis
A Christian delegation from Indonesia arrived in Geneva at the end of last week to request the intervention of the UN Security Council and Human Rights Commission in the Moluccan Islands conflict. Headed by the Bishop of Ambon, Mgr Petrus Mandagi, the group also includes the leader of the Evangelical Protestant church and the president of the Moluccas Protestant church. The European parliament has discussed the necessity a of international intervention. On Thursday night a resolution was approved launching an appeal to the 15 member states and the EU commission to send in a team of international observers. More than 4,000 have been killed since the Jihad fighters began their attacks on the Christian communities in the Moluccas. According to missionaries working in the area, rumours were circulating at the weekend that the guerrillas were planning a massive attack today (Monday). Fr Ulahaiyanan, a diocesan priest from Ambon said several Moslems, not involved in the fighting, had warned Christian friends to leave the island by today. He said the village of Galala, north of Ambon City, was in serious danger and Passo, a town north of Galala, was reaching crisis point as tens of thousands of refugees were passing through each day. He said there were severe shortages of food and medicine. Christian families are escaping into the hills, he said, but the Jihad fighters were closing in on them. "The people are terrified," he said. "They need to be evacuated immediately."

Book Summary
For more than a year and a half Vincent ventured into the world as Ned, with an ever-present five o'clock shadow and a crew cut—a perfect disguise that enabled her to observe the world of men as an insider. With her buddies on the bowling league she enjoyed the rough and rewarding embrace of male camaraderie; a stint in a high-octane sales job taught her the gut-wrenching pressures endured by men who would do anything to succeed; she frequented sex clubs, dated women hungry for love but bitter about men, and infiltrated all-male communities including a men's therapy group and even a monastery. She ended her journey astounded—and exhausted—by the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity.—From publisher description.The author recounts her eighteen-month undercover stint as a man, a time during which she worked a sales job, joined a bowling league, frequented sex clubs, dated, and encountered firsthand the rigid codes and rituals of masculinity.

Self-Made ManOne Woman's Journey Into Manhood and Back Again
Viking AdultISBN: 0-670-03466-5
Chapter OneSeven years ago, I had my first tutorial in becoming a man.
The idea for this book came to me then, when I went out for the first time in drag. I was living in the East Village at the time, undergoing a significantly delayed adolescence, drinking and drugging a little too much, and indulging in all the sidewalk freak show opportunities that New York City has to offer.
Back then I was hanging around a lot with a drag king whom I had met through friends. She used to like to dress up and have me take pictures of her in costume. One night she dared me to dress up with her and go out on the town. I'd always wanted to try passing as a man in public, just to see if I could do it, so I agreed enthusiastically.
She had developed her own technique for creating a beard whereby you cut half inch chunks of hair from unobtrusive parts of your own head, cut them into smaller pieces, and then more or less glopped them onto your face with spirit gum. Using a small round freestanding mirror on her desk, she showed me how to do it in the dim, greenish light of her cramped studio apartment. It wasn't at all precise and it wouldn't have passed muster in the daylight, but it was good enough for the stage, and it would work well enough for our purposes in dark bars at night. I made myself a goatee and mustache, and a pair of baroque sideburns. I put on a baseball cap, loose-fitting jeans and a flannel shirt. In the full-length mirror I looked like a frat boy-sort of.
She did her thing-which was more willowy and soft, more like a young hippie guy who couldn't really grow much of a beard-and we went out like that for a few hours.
We passed, as far as I could tell, but I was too afraid to really interact with anyone, except to give one guy brief directions on the street. He thanked me as "dude" and walked on.
Mostly though we just walked the streets of the Village scanning people's faces to see if anyone took a second or third look. But no one did. And that, oddly enough, was the thing that struck me the most about that evening. It was the only thing of real note that happened. But it was significant.
I had lived in that neighborhood for years, walking its streets where men lurk outside of bodegas, on stoops and in doorways much of the day. As a woman, you couldn't walk down those streets invisibly. You were an object of desire or at least semiprurient interest to the men who waited there, even if you weren't pretty-that, or you were just another piece of pussy to be put in its place. Either way, their eyes followed you all the way up and down the street, never wavering, asserting their dominance as a matter of course. If you were female and you lived there, you got used to being stared down, because it happened every day and there wasn't anything you could do about it.
But that night in drag, we walked by those same stoops and doorways and bodegas. We walked right by those same groups of men. Only this time they didn't stare. On the contrary, when they met my eyes they looked away immediately and concertedly and never looked back. It was astounding, the difference, the respect they showed me by not looking at me, by purposely not staring.
That was it. That was what had annoyed me so much about meeting their gaze as a woman, not the desire, if that was ever there, but the disrespect, the entitlement. It was rude, and it was meant to be rude, and seeing those guys looking away deferentially when they thought I was male, I could validate in retrospect the true hostility of their former stares.
But that wasn't quite all there was to it. There was something more than plain respect being communicated in their averted gaze, something subtler, less direct. It was more like a disinclination to show disrespect. For them, to look away was to decline a challenge, to adhere to a code of behavior that kept the peace among human males in certain spheres just as surely as it kept the peace and the pecking order among male animals. To look another male in the eye and hold his gaze is to invite conflict, either that or a homosexual encounter. To look away is to accept the status quo, to leave each man to his tiny sphere of influence, the small buffer of pride and poise that surrounds and keeps him.
I surmised all of this the night it happened, but in the weeks and months that followed I asked most of the men I knew whether I was right, and they agreed, adding usually that it wasn't something they thought about anymore, if they ever had. It was just something you learned or absorbed as a boy, and by the time you were a man, you did it without thinking.
After the whole incident had blown over, I started thinking that if in such a short time in drag I had learned such an important secret about the way males and females communicate with each other, and about the unspoken codes of male experience, then couldn't I potentially observe much more about the social differences between the sexes if I passed as a man for a much longer period of time? It seemed true, but I wasn't intrepid enough yet to do something that extreme. Besides it seemed impossible, both psychologically and practically, to pull it off. So I filed the information away in my mind for a few more years and got on with other things.
Then, in the winter of 2003, while watching a reality television show on the A& E network, the idea came back to me. In the show, two male and two female contestants set out to transform themselves into the opposite sex-not with hormones or surgeries, but purely by costume and design. The women cut their hair. The men had theirs extended. Both took voice and movement lessons to try to learn how to speak and behave more like the sex they were trying to become. All chose new wardrobes, personas and names for their alter egos. The bulk of the program focused on the outward transformations, though the point at the end was to see who could pass in the real world most effectively. Neither of the men really passed, and only one of the women stayed the course. She did manage to pass fairly well, though only for a short time and in carefully controlled circumstances.
But, as in most reality television programs, especially the American ones, nobody involved was particularly introspective about the effect their experiences had had on them or the people around them. It was clear that the producers didn't have much interest in the deeper sociologic implications of passing as the opposite sex. It was all just another version of an extreme make-over. Once the stunt was accomplished-or not-the show was over.
But for me, watching the show brought my former experience in drag to the forefront of my mind again and made me realize that passing in costume in the daylight could be possible with the right help. I knew that writing a book about passing in the world as a man would give me the chance to explore some of the unexplored territory that the show had left out, and that I had barely broached in my brief foray in drag years before.
I was determined to give the idea a try.

Mother admits killing her two young children
Mum refused police help then 'suffocated' youngsters in hotel
A BRITISH mother has confessed to killing her two children in a Spanish hotel room, court officials said last night.
Lianne Smith (43) was arrested by police in Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava after Rebecca (5) and her 11-month-old brother Daniel were found dead on Tuesday.
According to reports, they had been suffocated.
A judge ruled yesterday that there was evidence that the mother was responsible for the deaths and decided she should be held in custody.
Following the hearing, she was transferred to jail in Girona to await trial.
In a statement, court officials said: "Smith spontaneously declared that she had killed her two children."
The children died on the same day that Smith's partner, Martin Smith (45), was extradited to Britain to face child sex charges.
One of Britain's most wanted men until his arrest by Spanish police earlier this month, Smith allegedly jumped bail in 2008 while facing charges of rape of a child under 16, gross indecency with a girl under 16, indecent assault of a girl under 16 and attempted rape of a girl under 16.
A police spokesman said they originally attempted to trace his partner and her daughter after they left their home in the area in 2007.
"As soon as we became aware of the arrest of Martin Smith we instigated a welfare check -- through authorities in Spain -- on Lianne and Rebecca." he said.
"We were informed that they were safe and well. Lianne declined all offers of police help and support and stated her intention to remain in Spain -- as was her legal right -- and not to return to the UK.
"At this point we also became aware of the existence of Rebecca's younger brother," the spokesman said.
It has been reported that Smith, who is believed to have run a nursery in Barcelona, was worried the Spanish authorities would take her children away.
The children's nanny said she believed that Smith had intended to leave the two infants in her care and then go off and kill herself.
Mimi Buckley (21), said: "I think she meant to hire me as a nanny, leave her children with me and then commit suicide.
"But I don't think she could bear to leave them."
Ms Buckley described the children as "beautiful" and spoke of Rebecca's love of drawing and "girly things".
What happened was "awful", she added.

Evelin Ilves Named WHO Spokesperson on Non-Communicable Diseases ({{commentsTotal}})
Estonian First Lady Evelin Ilves, on a working visit to the World Health Organization's (WHO) regional headquarters in Copenhagen, agreed to become its spokesperson on non-communicable diseases.
Ilves accepted the title, "Champion of Health" from the organization, from WHO's regional director Zsuzsanna Jakab, uudised.err.ee reported Thursday.
Preventing non-communicable requires the support of governments and parliaments, but also increased awareness on health attitudes, Ilves said.
Non-communicable diseases include cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, malignant tumors, chronic respiratory diseases, injuries that are largely caused by unhealthy eating habits, insufficient exercise, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
In November, Ilves returned to her medical studies and took an exam required for entering the health workers' registry and going on to residency.
She gave a speech at a WHO non-communicable disease conference in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, on December 3.

Unanswered: Basic formatting questions
I have two questions concerning formatting output in SQL.
I have a processer speed column that I would like to make usable. A sample entry is 2793, which I would like to be returned as '2.8 GHz'. I am using the following successfully, but when I try to append the ' GHz' it gives me a conversion error (I have tried putting both a cast and convert around the round statement).
ROUND(CONVERT(DECIMAL,PCCPUSpeed_IN) / 1000,1) + ' GHz'
Secondly, I have a RAM colum that stores values such as 534753280. I would like the results to fallin into 64 Mb buckets. So values between 512000 & 532480 should return '512 Mb'. I realize I can do this using a CASE statement, but is there a better way?

All formatting really ought to be done on the client or at least in the middle tier. Doing formatting in the database is suicidal from both a performance and a scaling perspective in the long term.
