Hi all
I've been using NopCommerce for a while now and love the platform and have recently moved on to provide PayPal express as a payment option for my customers (link to the plugin below).
This plugin works great with one issue that I just can't seem to pin down in the code; the product name does not appear on the 'successful payment made' email I receive when the order is placed from PayPal, and viewing it on my PayPal account there is also no product name shown (image below showing the email where the name should be).
I build up my own invoice so the customer and myself can work out what has been sold through that but I need to know on my PayPal account and emails what has been sold.
Has anyone else had this issue or knows the right place to look in the plugin to find the cause? Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks, Martin

Conservative Firebrand Wins GOP Primary in Virginia Senate Race
RICHMOND, Va. (CN) – It was a photo finish, but firebrand conservative Corey Stewart has won his first state-wide primary and has become Virginia's Republican candidate for Senate against incumbent Tim Kaine in this year's midterm election.
It took almost two hours, and came down to a few thousand votes, but Stewart, Chairman of The Prince William County Board of Supervisors in Northern Virginia, beat out state Delegate Nick Freitas to take the GOP nomination.
Stewart is known for his fierce and combative campaign style and famously got kicked off Donald Trump's Virginia campaign in 2016 when he held a protest at the Republican National Committee headquarters for not supporting Trump enough. He lost his bid for Governor last year when he failed to overtake party-favorite Ed Gillespie. Gillespie later lost to Democrat Ralph Northam in the general election.
Republicans haven't won a state-wide race in Virginia in nearly a decade and Kaine is considered deeply popular in a state that continues to have high unfavorables for President Trump.
Other notable races include three Democratic primaries for Virginia congressional seats.
Former Obama State Department official Dan Ward conceded to former CIA agent Abigail Spanberger early in the evening as about 70% of the votes came in from Virginia's 7th District. Spanberger will challenge incumbent Republican Dave Brat, an economics professor and tea party member who won his seat in 2014 with help from former Trump aide Steve Bannon.
Virginia's 2nd District will feature two Navy veterans going head-to-head in the general election. Incumbent Scott Taylor, one of the youngest GOP members of Congress who was seen as a more moderate Republican, will face Navy vet Elaine Luria. Taylor's seat, much like Brat's, is considered flippable going into November.
And in Virginia's 10th District, long time state Senator Jennifer Wexton will take on incumbent Republican Barbara Comstock. While Comstock has tried to distance herself from Trump in the days leading up to Tuesday's primary, her voting record, and the so-called "blue wave" have put her at the top of Virginia's possibly flippable seats.

text: Santa07 1,023 Report post Posted June 2, 2017 This is something I've been quite interested in - but never really have looked into it. Coasters obviously have some sort of software behind it to keep track of all the ride's systems, but what level of complexity is it? Do coasters run off small microcontrollers, or are the computer systems behind them a lot larger? Do manufacturers hire programmers to create the software for the coasters, or do they use external companies to do this? Are the software systems for different coasters very similar, or very different? What are the typical languages behind a coaster's software? How does the software for a coaster differ from say a flat ride or dark ride? You'd think the software would have to be pretty efficient to constantly keep track of everything the ride is doing and find any faults as they rise. Where else is software used heavily from within a theme park? But yeah, does anyone know anything about this? I'm currently studying software engineering, so I would love to know a bit more about this side of coasters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Return Of The Jedi: Will Redevelopment Agencies Be Revived In California?
In 2011, the California Legislature, at the urging of Governor Jerry Brown, dissolved all California redevelopment agencies (RDAs). The first bill that Brown signed into law prevented RDAs from engaging in new activities and outlined a process for winding down their financial affairs. The second bill allowed individual RDAs to avoid dissolution if they made "substantial" annual payments into a Special District Allocation and Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund.

The Gateway Hotel in Mareeba is a very family friendly venue, providing fun and entertainment for all members of the family. To deliver on this promise, we have created what can only be described as the 'kids corners'.
We have three (3) kids spaces, providing something for everyone. Tiny tackers (and Mums and Dads!), will love Gus Bus and Mim's Farm. Gus Bus has a range of toys suitable for little ones aged 1 – 4 years. Mim's Farm is decked out for the slightly older ones, containing a range of play equipment, games and toys, which will suit children aged 4 – 12 years.
Our menu is children friendly and features, fresh, chef-prepared and locally sourced produce with a few sneaky healthy options.
The big kids (yep – the teenagers) are also taken care of, with a specialist projector room showing a range of kids friendly programs and movies through Netflix.

Some of the crows with larger bills big-belly around--but they make themselves scarce when the hawk arrives!

Mice Run In, Mice Run Out
We expected hawks and crows.
We didn't expect mice!
The mice puzzle me. They spend so much time running around. What is the point of all that energy-expenditure?
What are they up to?
I am reminded of the gross humor of my childhood, as we kids started on the long journey of coming to grips with mortality. We'd hoot at each other: You'll be in a grave! Then we'd all join in, chanting:
The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle
On your snout...
Over sixty years later, I still don't have mortality figured out.
But these mice seem perfectly willing to play pinochle!
However, they seem that way to me because I have so much to learn about mice. I asked Mammalogist Drew Ricketts at KSU to help me understand what we see in this clip. He replied:
Mice have pretty high metabolisms relative to ours, and they also have small stomachs, so they spend a lot of time zipping from place to place in search of something to eat. Mice also have to move relatively quickly when they are in the open, so that they can try to avoid becoming a snack for a predator. A slow, lingering mouse would quickly become a dead mouse. They also could be grabbing a bite so quickly that it is hard to see in the video. Animals also tend to check on large resources, because they are important to them. Finally, carcasses attract predators and would be a dangerous place for a mouse to be. It is possible that the mice smell evidence of predators that have visited the carcasses, and have a hard time feeling comfortable.
Some mice are very omnivorous, and some mice have very specific diets. The mice in the video are white-footed mice, and they eat a lot of different things. They probably don't spend a lot of time looking for carrion, but, when it is placed in their home range, it is probably a resource that they can't resist.
Thank you, Drew! Experts who are willing to share their expertise with us lay people are the best!!! You help open doors that would otherwise remain closed to us.

Hawks Give Wings to Deer
Our trail cam caught these two hawks feeding on the deer. The first one (the smaller of the two) is a Rough-legged Hawk (feathers down to the toes). The second one is considerably larger. At first I thought she might be a female Rough-legged Hawk, but then I noticed how her feathers stop above her wrists. And her bill is so large! So I went to an expert. He told me that the first hawk is indeed a Rough-legged, but that the second one is more likely an immature dark-morph Red-tailed Hawk.
Check out that kick she delivers at the end of the clip! What's that all about?
Many thanks to the Bur Oaks for producing fat acorns this year so that the deer could be numerous and well fed. And endless thanks to these three deer who gave their wild lives to nourish hawks and other wildlife and provide food for us. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Bur Oak Family and the Tribe of Deer!

If your bedroom is looking more tired than grandma after a marathon, it's definitely time for a makeover. The absolute best place to start is a headboard. There are many styles, materials and colours available today, it seems almost impossible that you will not find one that suits you! Here's some things to consider when choosing your new 'centre piece'.
Past & Present
In years passed headboards had a function, which was to reduce drafts and put some insulation between the person sleeping and the wall. Originally they were made of wood. This is because wood does not significantly absorb the cold of the wall. The thicker the wood the better, and the further away from the wall, the better. Why? Because cold air literally falls down the walls. The space therefore allows this cold air to fall onto the floor as opposed to on the bed. If you have drafts this still applies!
Add that Personal Touch
Today, in a modern world with insulation and central heating the prime function of headboards is to look good – Although they are excellent with regards to stopping your pillows falling off! A headboard is distinctive and usually one of the first things to catch the eye when entering the room. In this way it is a bit of a 'centre piece'. Use this to show your individuality and really put your personality into the room. Choose this first and everything else can 'evolve' from there.
What really dictates the price is materials, how it is made and of course (as always) the brand. If you buy Armani you pay Armani! If you want a handmade wooden headboard it will certainly be more expensive than machine manufactured – As most would expect! However, shop around. There are some very stylish yet cheap headboards available in a myriad of colours and designs. What is most important is you get value for money and the price is 'fair'.
Design V Comfort
Keep your feet on the floor (or your head on the headboard). If you spend time watching TV in bed comfort is important. Metal and wooden headboards are not ideal. Padded and upholstered headboards are the most comfortable. Button headboards are the latest trend and available in a range of colours, patterns and materials. Nevertheless, metal headboards provide great urban chic, which is perfect for minimalist environments. Wood suits traditional styles and is practical for the cold. Leather buttoned headboards are very popular. The only drawback with leather is it can also feel a tad cold. However, this can be balanced out easily with a few extra pillows!
While headboards are a style statement for many people they also have a function – To provide insulation from the wall and provide comfort when watching TV or reading in bed. If you are going to use it more than look at it, darker colours are a better choice – they are great at disguising marks!

May 6, 2010 | Reed Miller From Theheart.org
San Diego, CA – An intracardiac ST-segment monitor, which alerts patients to significant ST shifts indicative of thrombotic occlusion, reduced patients' "alarm-to-hospital" time from the typical two to three hours to less than 20 minutes in early studies.
Results of the first two pilot studies of the AngelMed Guardian implantable ischemia detection system (Angel Medical Systems, Shrewsbury, NJ) were presented as a poster here at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 2010 Scientific Sessions by Dr David Holmes (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN), who said that the results will also soon be published. Angel Medical sponsored the studies. Continue reading

You can't blame investors for feeling that the worst of the volatility that plagued markets since October of last year is over. The S&P500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") have rebounded approximately 15% from their December lows and are only 7% away from their respective all-time high set in early October. Add to that the recent dovish tone of the Federal Reserve and the better than expected non-farm payrolls and corporate earnings makes increasing stock exposure a tempting move, especially for investors looking to make retirement contributions before the cut-off deadline and not wanting their cash to sit idle.
But is this just a set up for worse things to come?
Technical Indicators
The DJIA and S&P 500 have rebounded in the same "V" like fashion that markets have been accustomed to for the last few years. Unlike what we've seen in recent history, the October sell-off saw the formation of a Death Cross, where the shorter term 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average, a bearish sign. While some would point out that the bull run continued in the face of Death Crosses in 2010, 2011 and 2015, none of these episodes were accompanied by an up-trending volatility index. The last time we saw an uptrend in the volatility index was the run up to the 2008 market crash and if that doesn't concern you, note that since October, the DJIA saw fourteen down days of 400 points or more, an unprecedented statistic.
Search Trends
The current uptrend in search interest for select financial news outlets is understood to represent an increasingly negative market sentiment. The logic being, investors will visit financial news websites more often when they're less confidant in markets. Conversely, financial news website traffic decreases when markets are performing well as investor complacency kicks in.
We discussed in a previous post (here) our concern over the general upward trend in searches for select major financial news outlets. Our financial news search indicator has trended upward since October 2017 and is eerily similar to that which led up to the 2008 market crash. Of particular concern is that nominal search values are materially greater and is understood to represent a higher level of negative market sentiment than the search interest levels observed in 2007-2008. We take from this that market reaction to negative news will be greater than the reaction to negative market news in 2007-2008.
There are still many political-economic wild cards at play, namely the possibility of yet another US government shut down as early as February 15th, the ongoing trade conflict with China and the Brexit deadline just around the corner. The materialization of any one of these events could trigger a major market sell off, which according to the financial news search indicator, could test the depths reached in 2008.

This year I turned 59, which means I'm now in my sixtieth year, and my next birthday will be a big one. Similarly, this is my last birthday starting with a "5". This is a difficult thing to get used to.
Turning 9 and 19 were the only "nine" birthdays I didn't mind: Like a lot of kids, I wanted to be older, so turning 10 was great. When I was a teenager, especially toward the end of those years, I was frustrated by feeling older than I was, so I was glad to enter my 20s.
29 was the turning point. I embraced the acceptance that came from being in my 30s, even as I was sorry to see my 20s, and my youth (symbolically) go. 39 was worse, 49 worse still, and now 59. I can only imagine how 69, 79, 89 (?) will be like.
On the other hand, the year following a "nine" birthday is usually fine. Part of that comes from having a year to get used to the idea, after any angst around the "nine" birthday. So, next year and my 60th at the end of it ought to be fine. Well, I think it will be. I hope so.
This year my birthday fell on a Sunday, and that's always a weird day: People can't really celebrate on a Sunday like they can on a Saturday, so we went out to lunch today with some of the family. It was really nice, and being low-key was probably perfect for a "nine" birthday. It helped that the weather, though really hot, was also really nice today.
Birthdays are, as I often say, a sort of personal New Year, "a chance to reflect on my personal year just past, and look toward my personal year now beginning," as I put it last year. It's no secret that last year was very difficult for me. In fact, things still are difficult. The reason for that is the ongoing medication problem I talked about last month, something that's still not resolved.
The most obvious result of that is that I simply haven't felt up to blogging, podcasting, or making videos. I still want to do those things, but most of the time I just don't have the energy. I haven't even finished my office project (not entirely because of a lack of energy—time has been short the past week, too). This has got to change.
Last year at this time I felt much better. In fact, I felt pretty great right up until the medication they put me on in March last year. It's been rough since then.
Still, I've made what changes and allowances I can in order to ease the path a little bit. For example, I again started using my laptop to write blog posts, which just seems so much less physically challenging than going to my office. But even that isn't that simple: Upstairs is air conditioned, and my office isn't.
The larger point here is that I'm aware that in some ways things are not as good this year as they were last year at this time. But Nigel is, as always, my rock and my safe harbour, and he makes it possible for me to face challenges. Add the support of family and friends, and things are actually much better than they otherwise would be, and better than they sound. That's important.
So, this year may not seem as chirpy and cheery as other years, and maybe they can't all be anyway. But it's still far better than what some people face, and I'm really lucky that's wrong can be fixed, and will be. Those are the points that matter.
Now, if I could just blog a bit more this year, that'd be great.
Here's my annual birthday selfie:
Annual birthday selfie, at the end of a good day. I celebrate when my birthday arrives here right through to when it arrives in Chicago, where I'm from. So, two days of legit birthday celebrations! Yay for me!! It's been a good day, though turning 59 means I'm now in my 60th year [gasp!]. Oh well, having birthdays sure beats the alternative, because there's only one way to stop having birthdays. I plan on having a lot more! #59thbirthday #birthday59 #expat #expatriate

FMount Kisco Medical GroupI have been a patient of MKMG for close to 20 years. Three years ago I decided to move all of my medical care to their practice for the sake of having an internist who was able to be my gatekeeper for my many and varied medical problems. General Internist - Dana Murphy - zero empathy, quick to send you to ER, no faith that patient knows own body, she knows better. Absolutely no bedside manner at all. Entirely failed at managing my need for a Gatekeeper which I was very clear on my needs when I first engaged her. You are a cattle call # in the MKMG or CareMount Medical whatever you want to call them. You are a # not a person. If she would have done her job at being my internist I could have avoided many medical procedures that I did not need. At no point during a horrendous 9 month period in my health did she once reach out to me to make sure I was receiving the care I needed. When I reached out for assistance, I never once received a call from Dr. Murphy, only from her nurse sometimes many days later, or not at all. Typially I was referred to another physician or to the ER. Dr. Chinitz - GI - Mr. Funny Man (not). Saw him for a follow up from bowel resection reoccurring problems. Was told that I could expect to only be 60% better ever and that I should make sure I had a good therapist because I was going to need one. When I complained that I was in pain after his exam, he told me that since he had met me he had a pain in his side too. Dr. Wishner - Probably an excellent surgeon and one I entrusted my body too twice. What I got back was a surgeon who instead of listening to his patient that something was wrong after the bowel resection my back doctor found my hernia and referred me back to Dr. Wishner. After my hernia repair was completed and I had severe internal pain I was told by Dr. Wishner that it was my back and he didn't know what to do with me. He could send me for physical theraphy. There is one physician in that group that I would go back to and that is Dr. Stacy Spivack-Gross. However, I have decided to leave the MKMG in its entireity. I refuse to be a # and not heard by my doctors. I no longer recommend them. Radiology Department made a mistake on my CT Scan. My lungs have nodules on them that have been followed for many years. I have an oncologist review any scans that catch my lungs as my mother passed away from lung cancer. One of my abdominal scans came back with some odd language about one of my lungs. Not one physician in the MKMG even got back to me with the results of that scan so I requested a copy and upon review saw the bizarre words utilized. I faxed to the oncologist who immediately called me back to let me know that the words do not exist in the medical field. It was a mistake, he even went so far as to call the MKMG radiology Department to advise them of their mistaken. Not one doctor, even the ordering surgeon ever got back to me or the oncologist to advise the mistake was rectified. After being told I should get a good therapist by Dr. Chinitz because of the pain I have experienced after my bowel resection surgery would never go away because I had fibromyalgia and RSD, I should expect to stay this way indefinitely. If this was the case and since MKMG has my entire medical history for many many years, not one person even my "Gatekeeper" internist ever told me that I should not have surgery because I could potentially be in pain for life because of it.- Stacey L.
FCVS Pharmacy32 yr old disabled son transfered his Medicaid from NY to NJ. Took prescriptions to CVS Clinton St.Hoboken. The Pharmacist did not fill prescription, told son to come back another time, did not call Medicaid to inquire on Son's behalf and son came back to car with no psychiatric medicine. Mother (me) intervened and pharmacist refused to call Medicaid or to fill the prescriptions. He was extremely rude and unhelpful. I even called another CVS pharmacy for help because he would not provide service and told me he couldn't and wouldn't help me further. I complained to the Store manager and subsequently called the central CVS pharmacy Manager who contacted the pharmacist to immediately dispense a 3 day supply of pills. The following day, the pharmacy called to say that all of the meds were ready. 2 very difficult trips & the 1st trip took 2 full hrs and to resolve. Although I thought this would be the end of the problems with this CVS pharmacy, I was wrong. Today my son took another prescription to this pharmacy. He was given 3 pills and told to come back on Monday. WHY and do we really have to make 2 trips for EVERY prescription filled at this location. I am just disgusted and annoyed.- Sue M.

Rangers Top 10 Prospects
- Al Montoya, G
- Marc Staal, D
- Alex Bourret, RW
- Jarkko Immonen, C
- Nigel Dawes, LW
- Brandon Dubinsky, C
- Ryan Callahan, RW
- Bobby Sanguinetti, D
- Dane Byers, LW
- Lauri Korpikoski, LW
Team Needs
With the aging of the Rangers' top forward lines, the team needs emerging high-end skilled forwards. The deadline trades that brought prospect Alex Bourret and second liner Sean Avery to the organization were encouraging moves in this direction, but more drafting of and trading for potential first- and second-line players is necessary for the team to be a consistent contender.
Very few of the blueliners on the Blueshirts' roster during the 2006-07 season will be in the team's long-term plans. However, three strong defensemen (Marc Staal, Bobby Sanguinetti, and Michael Sauer) are developing in the system, and Fedor Tyutin and Daniel Girardi are already on the NHL roster. A team can never have enough blueliners in the organization, but what the Rangers' need for the 2007-08 season is NHL-ready defensemen who can skate along the blue line until Sanguinetti and Sauer (and perhaps Staal) develop sufficiently to be at home on the Madison Square Garden ice. That will come either from a free agency signing or trade.
As far as goaltending is concerned, the Rangers settled any near-term goaltending issues during the last half of the 2006-07 season, when netminder Henrik Lundqvist proved that his rookie year was no fluke. The Rangers have a journeyman (Steve Valiquette) as a backup and a potential superstar, Al Montoya, waiting in the wings. That said, the Rangers have only one other netminding prospect (Chris Holt) in the organization. Holt got regular playing time this season and showed that he needs quite a bit more development time prior to any NHL-readiness. The Rangers should be thinking about adding another goaltending prospect this year. There are several second-, third- or fourth round possibilities that might fit that need.
Organizational Strengths
In the past two years, the Rangers have shored up their stable of defensive prospects and now are one of the strongest organizations in that area in the NHL. Between the defensive abilities of Staal and Sauer, and the offensive skills of Sanguinetti, the Blueshirts look to be strong along the blueline in the coming years.
New York also has a bevy of potential third- and fourth-line forwards among its prospects. Quite a few of the Rangers' recent draft selections are character players, with grit and an excellent two-way game.
Montoya, for as long as he is a Rangers' prospect, is also an organizational strength. An excellent AHL goaltender in his second professional season, he is expected to be ready for NHL play sometime next season.
Organizational Weaknesses
The most glaring weakness in the organization is the lack of potential first-line forwards among the prospects. What almost all of the young Rangers' prospects lack, with the exception of the aforementioned Bourret, is the playmaking ability and scoring touch required to populate an NHL first line.
Further, the Rangers need to focus on possible future goaltending issues. Although at 25, Lundqvist may be between the pipes for the Blueshirts for another 10 years, there is still the chance that he may not be. Given that Montoya will be NHL-ready shortly (maybe as soon as this fall), the Rangers have to be thinking about selecting and developing another high-caliber netminder.
Draft Tendencies
For the last two draft years, the Rangers have selected defensemen in the first round of the draft. With the exception of one late-round prospect (Greg Beller), none of the team's 2005 or 2006 NHL draft selections was NCAA-bound. In 2005, the Rangers had nine draft selections, and all but Beller were from the CHL. Last year, four of the seven players selected last year were from Europe (the rest were CHLers). However, all but one of the Europeans came to North America within three months and played in the CHL during the 2006-07 season.
Although the Rangers are not likely to completely depart from this recent draft trend, there are a large number of highly-ranked American players in this week's NHL draft, which might tempt the Blueshirts' management to go another route.
That management has changed somewhat with the departure of Assistant General Manager and Director of Player Personnel, Don Maloney. However, Rangers Head Amateur Scout Gordie Clark, who ran the team's draft table for the first time last year, is expected to return to those duties in Columbus, and it is generally believed that the type of prospect sought by the organization has not changed as the result of Maloney's departure.
Hockey's Future Staff Mock Result: Maxim Mayorov
The Rangers are expected to keep the 17th position in the first round of this week's draft. At that position, there will be several solid potential third- or fourth-line forwards available, as well as almost all (if not all) the netminding prospects. As there are goaltenders who are expected to be available in the second through seventh rounds, there is no rush to choose one here. Additionally, the Rangers have a number of potential third- and fourth-liners already in their system. In the HF Staff Mock Draft, Mayorov was available at No. 17. A winger who has the potential to play on the first line, Mayorov can be inconsistent at times, and is currently locked into a contract in Russia. However, he has tremendous speed and skill, combined with a likable and low-key personality. A high-risk/high-reward prospect, Mayorov could turn out to be a stud with a very long NHL career. When that fact is combined with his desire to come to North America to play hockey (perhaps sooner than expected), he is a natural choice at this draft position for the Rangers organization.

Un accueil chaleureux et le service avec un grand sourire. Très belle présentation des plats avec une cuisine raffinée. Endroit très chaleureux.
Great service. Food was beautifully presented. Everything was very well balanced and tasted great.
Excellent meal and excellent Service
Food was good, not great. Some of it was bland, overall acceptable..
Really nice place , small lunch menu but very tasty !
First of all the staff were friendly and efficient. All spoke perfect English which is a plus for most customers. The food eclectic yet thoughtfully prepared and plated. Each of us had the table d'hote. For starters one had a delicious minestrone, one cheese plate with 3 local cheeses and two had the magnificent wild boar rillettes. For the main therapy was a seafood chowder loaded with lobster mussels shrimp and halibut, two had the filet mignon cooked to perfection and one had the special of the day, halibut served over a barley "risotto". Desert was a cheese crack and three house specialties toasted caked with a maple caramel sauce and honey ice cream.
There was a slightly longer gap between starter and main so they served a morsel of gravlax style halibut.
Highly recommend this place
We were visiting Quebec City and were staying close by. We had an early lunch and were quite surprised by the level of cuisine and presentation - beyond our expectation.
The shrimp fritters are delicious, salmon tartare more special than usual.
What an enjoyable and delicious meal we had! I appreciated the variety of options and the many unexpected dishes. I was glad to have made reservations since the restaurant was crowded on a Saturday night.
Fantastic meal tasting the typical dish "poutine": it was original with delicious potatoes and cheese. The waiters were friendly, polite, and always smiling. The ambience was very nice. I would totally recommend visiting this restaurant!
Very good food, good staff and choices of beer. Good Bio-Cuisine!
Excellent food and great service.
Waiter was helpful and friendly. Had one of specials, halibut. Excellent.
Def worth trying.
Good food, friendly service. Just the music isn't necessary for the ambiance.
We loved the Tournbroche dinner we had and the lively terrace dining. The roasted chicken was done to perfection. The pate plate was a delicious piece of art. The staff attentive but not overbearing.
We were back in Quebec after visiting in 2015. We love this restaurant! In fact, it was the first reservation we made after travel and our Airbnb accommodations. We were in town for six nights and dined with these folks two evenings. We travel a good bit and live in a city with exceptional dining. That said, it would be very hard to beat the food, service, and location of this restaurant.
What a great experience! The food was great, they were knowledgeable in regard to my gluten allergy and helped me plan my meal around it. I had the chicken and would definitively have it again.
Perfection. Delicious. Farm to table. As close and as much that can be locally sourced. Every thing is delicious!
I appreciated the service and the quality of food I received at this restaurant. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable, all the guests that day got a free organic salad from their garden and the portions were excellent for what we paid for. I did however ask for a quieter table and got placed in one of the busiest areas. Overall a good experience with one improvement.
It's was an absolutely wonderful experience, the menu was inventive, service was perfect, my only criticism is that the halibut gravlax was a bit lacking in flavor but everything else we had was superb.
This was the best meal we had in Quebec City. Excellent food , especially for the price. Locally sourced and organic. Diverse menu. Service and atmosphere were great as well. In general we found food prices in Quebec City on the higher end for what you get. We went to Le Continental the night before. Very highly rated so we were surprised by the meal, which we thought was was very disappointing. The chateaubriand was decent enough, but not when you consider the small size and extraordinary price. The sides were cold. The scallop appetizer adequate but uninspiring. Le Continental was highly recommended by our hotel, yet this restaurant was not, which we did not understand.
What a wonderful restaurant that focuses on farm to table in its truest form!! They use locally grown produce, chickens, have their own bee hives, make their own ice cream and in total everything is homemade. They grow their own produce and herbs on their rooftops during the season, I could not believe how delicious and fresh everything tasted! Even their bread was homemade.
The place was so wonderful that we went back the next night as we wanted to try more offerings. I only wish this restaurant was nearby to me so that i could enjoy it more often. I big thanks to the staff, the management for supporting local and hiring such talented staff. Thank you!!
Lovely meal. Unique menu and excellent deserts
Waiter was attentive and helpful
Personnel très attentionné. Très bonne cuisine. Lieu sympathique.
I am torn - a 5 for appetizers and drinks - get the charcuterie and cheese plates - you will not regret it! Entrees on the other hand a 2 .... the chicken which was raved about by the server was VERY dry. The seafood chowder was full of seafood but ehhh in flavor. Best entree was the Caesar salad out of 7 people. Would go again for apps and drinks only.
The best meal we had in Québec, and that's saying something! The Organic Crush, a charcuterie dream dish of paté, sausage, cheeses, veggies, was delicious.
Glad to return. Great as always.
Excellent food, great service, lovely atmosphere. The fish chowder was a standout!
Amazing service, organic food, great atmosphere, and the food is truly a work of art!
Waiter forgot to covet the right order to the kitchen.
Très bien serveur très gentil
Planche du fou excellente
Very limited menu, service average at best.
Small menu with average prices for the area. Farm fresh ingredients
Very creative cuisine and the filet was superb!
Our waitress explained everything and was friendly and attentive. We ate here twice- once the fixed price ( which was delicious) with duck legs tender and succulent and a rainy day lunch with organic chicken and vegetables Sheppard pie. Easy to get to in old Quebec - highly recommended!
Excellent food and service! Staff very knowledgeable and attentive.
Great food and great service
The venue was very nice, and the staff was very friendly. The food was also excellent even though the cocktails are a little bit expensive for what they are !
Wonderful place to celebrate our anniversary and last night in Quebec City. It was best meal of the week.
Very nice meal in an attractive and comfortable setting on Rue St. Jean in the Old City. I had the warm beet salad and Shepherd's Pie. Both were excellent. My son had the Filet Mignon. We shared a dessert selection that included a chocolate pudding cake, cookies with cream and a Creme Brûlée that were all amazing. We could not finish everything. My only regret was not having enough appetite to fit in one of the great looking selection of local craft beers on tap. Really liked this place, and look forward to coming back.

Khevoran 3 Session Notes – 24 March 2018 (The Story So Far)
24-25 Gozran, 44 NC
Sergei Volkov and Smoot, both former Black Rose Society officers, have been waging a civil war against Duke Stephen Tyr for years, and gather a group of individuals together to help end the war by invading the city of Westergarde. They seek to rescue Jacob Mengst, the son of Kironius Mengst and Anastasia Altair (the heir of former Emperor Joseph Altair). Smoot assigns one of his specialists named Dan Strait to the team.
At the same time, Lord General Isaac Vane, commander of the Kisharan armies at High Guard Fortress, and Thane Ironfist (nee Gronk, nee Ari Stonehand, RIngwielder of Earth), conspire to take advantage of the Kisharan Waygate being buried to slay Aril Flambeau, Ringwielder of Fire and leave Khevoran in the hands of Cyan Marinetta, Ringwielder of Water, who, Vane claims, is willing to let the people of Kehvoran rule themselves in peace. To this end, he sends several spies into the North, including his apprentice Matten Rassk and house guard Nimue Levinsdaughter to insinuate themselves into Volkov's army and eventually forge an alliance. Ironfist sends a Dwarf named Kagdir Throrson to Volkov to help, and to act as an escort for Matten.
Meanwhile, Shara Tev, who has been sheltering a Halfling named Sanorin Fafnir for several years, is assaulted and killed by Gideon Nell. Before her death, she sends Sanorin and their mutual friend Syl to Volkov's care, notifying Jacob Dain, the Wizard of the Wilds of Sanorin's value. It turns out that Sanorin is completely immune to the powers of the Ringwielders, and seems to be connected to the land in a very unique way, much like another famous halfling Peruppi Dentkettle.
Jacob befriends an extremely articulate and resourceful goblin named Snot (or Starry Night Over Trees) who has been named Stra'Chick by his people, which is somewhat of a cross between a king and a champion, and has been sent to deal with the surface peoples to help his people escape the denizens of the depths and aid in fighting the Kisharans.
After securing some siege equipment, the party invades Westergarde and slays Tyr. They secure the Ring of Spirit that had previously been won by Kironius Mengst and free Jacob Mengst and Ralben, the wizened chronicler of the Black Rose Society who had been acting as a ward and teacher of young Jacob during his capture at Westergarde. Here, young Jacob meets Delayne Muerdetta, the XO of the BRS, who had been accompanying Volkov's army. By all accounts, the pair become smitten and disappear together with both the Ring of Spirit, and a book that was in Ralben's possession. He indicates that his book would provide the Ringwielders with a huge advantage, and perhaps grant them greater control of the Waygate. Furthermore, now that the book is out of Ralben's possession, he insists the Ringwielders will be able to track it.
At very nearly the same time, Vane's army invades the North, scattering the BRS army defending at Everwatch, and slaying their CO Captain Tennyson. As this goes against Matten's narrative of Vane's intent, Volkov and Smoot send the party to meet with Vane in secret and deliver a communication device so they can parlay.
The party is ferried on a flying ship by Poppy Sokeldodge, a halfling of some renown who, halfway into the trip, changes course to go avenge the death of her friend Vladimir Korgammsen at Westergarde by slaying the ancient elf Leitus ar'Shamrael'Vin and his servant Gideon Nell. With Poppy's help, the party does so, discovering on the way that Leitus was attempting to build his own Waygate and desperately wanted to take possession of Ralben's book as well.
After disposing of Leitus and his Waygate, the party encounters a Kisharan airship and ends up securing it. In the captain's paperwork, they find evidence that the ship has standing orders to seek someone looking like Mengst and Ralben, as well as a book matching Ralben's description of the tome.
The party eventually comes into contact with Vane at the farmhouse where the Altair family fled to after the initial Kisharan invasion. Vane says he was ordered by Flambeau to invade and to find the tome at all costs. To that end, he's scattered his forces into the North to seek it out.
Now that Vane and the party are together, the subject of ending the Kisahran reign comes up again. The window of opportunity will likely only last until Flambeau unearths the Kisharan Waygate in the South, which is likely to occur in weeks, not months. And Vane comes to the key problem facing them all:
"So…we need to kill Aril Flambeau. Any ideas?"
1 Comment
The second day after dropping off the excess people, we found the army. Or parts of it; it looked far too small to be an invading force. The idea was to get to Volkov and meet with him, somehow. Obviously, walking into the camp with a tail of halflings sounded like a Very Bad Idea. Even pretending they were prisoners would be far too risky; all it would take was a greedy officer, and we might have to fight. So, caution. We decided that Matten and I would go to the camp to find Vane and ask him to meet us at a farm nearby. The way Poppy mentioned it, it sounded as if it should be spelled with a capital F; it was clearly an important place, or a historically important place. The rest would drop off near the Farm and keep an eye on the place, and join us when we got there, while the airship would continue on to Volkov's forces.
I was not sure how Matten would want to play this; he had been in regular touch with Vane, it seemed, while I hadn't spoken to him, or communicated with him, for years. Also, I wanted to keep a low profile. It would probably be safe, but I had gotten into the habit of keeping my cover at all times, no sense in breaking it now. Besides, there was no way to know for certain who might be listening.
We got to the picket lines without trouble, and were taken to his tent, where we were told that Vane wasn't there. The soldiers there were obviously in awe when they realised who Matten was; that suited me well enough, it kept the attention away from me. Not that I thought it very likely that we'd run into anyone who'd recognise me here, and even less likely that they'd end up talking to any of the others, but still. And since I knew Vane had people inside Volkov's forces, I wasn't going to assume Volkov didn't have anyone in Vane's forces, so the less attention I drew, the better.
I have to admit, I was also looking forward to see Vane again. It had been less than four years, but it felt like forever. Sometimes, all those years I spent in the South seem like a dream. I suppose part of that is because I have to keep it at a distance, to avoid making mistakes. Trying to not even think about those years; thinking about it too much would bring it too close, and might cause me to say the wrong thing, react the wrong way. Most likely, I was being paranoid, but considering how popular Vane was in the North, I thought it best to err on the side of caution.
At Vane's tent, the guards there told us, or rather, told Matten, that Vane wasn't there, but that he had left Matten a message should he show up. An coded message, telling Matten where to find him.
Poppy had been right, in that Vane knew where the Farm was. Because that was where he told Matten to meet him. So chances were, the others might run straight into him. They were supposed to land away from the Farm and check it out first, but considering how things had worked out so far, they had probably landed at the Farm itself, and might end up killing, or being killed by, Vane. He would have no reason to trust them, they would probably not trust him either. But hopefully, they would refrain from killing each other until we got there. They had to know we would join them sooner or later.
Given Matten's effect on the soldiers there, getting a couple of horses was fairly easy. Hopefully, getting a visit from Vane's apprentice wouldn't be that much of an oddity. Most likely, his current mission wasn't widely known. We just had to hope that no one important knew that he was supposed to be in the North, working with Volkov.
It took longer than I liked, but we did get to the Farm eventually. The first thing I noticed was Vane, chopping firewood. The second thing was Syl, yelling to Matten that they'd found Vane. Obviously, no one had killed anyone, and they seemed to be on friendly enough terms, so it seemed our mission was on tracks. I saw no sign of the airship, so most likely, it had left and headed towards Volkov's forces.
At Syl's shout, Vane looked up and spotted us. Or rather, he spotted Matten. He roared and rushed over, grabbing Matten in a great hug. I might have been imagining things, but I thought Matten looked a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps he hadn't been quite ready to show the others how close he and Vane actually were.
And then he spotted me. He shouted "You! I didn't see you!" and gave me a hug as well. Instict as much as anything made me try to salvage the situation, stammering something to make it seem as if I was confused about his greeting. He looked at me and told me that if he and Volkov were going to work together, there would be no more secrets. Which was a relief; I really didn't want to make up some thin excuse for this group. They would probably be pretty angry with me anyway, and I suppose I can't blame them. They will probably see this as a betrayal, though I'm pretty sure I never actually lied to them, except from lies of omission. Except, I suppose, the small, usual lies that everyone makes. You know, the "this tasted great!", "you look good" and "it's gonna be ok" kind of lies.
Still, I was expecting an interesting chat with the rest of the team.

So you decided moving to Sydney alone? It's exciting but it seems scary at the same time. There are so many places to visit, bars and restaurants to try but probably it would be lonely to go by yourself. These 6 tips will help you make new friends in Sydney and will jumpstart your friendship circle.
TIP #1 Pubs and bars
Maybe it seems like a scary idea to walk into a bar by yourself, but Australians are proud of how friendly they are to strangers. One of the great ways to make new friends in Sydney is just to walk into any bar. People will take an interest in where you are from, what you do and will always be up for a chat. Find a list of Sydney's most sociable bars here.
TIP #2 Sunday sessions
Sunday sessions are relaxed atmosphere day drinking spots and events, a sociable way to close the weekend and make new friends in Sydney. With some light drinks and chilled background music it's easy to make conversation and get to know each other. Click here for Sydney's best Sunday Session sports.
TIP #3 Meetups
There are so many new places to check out when moving to a new city, but most many of them are much more fun to do with other people rather than alone. Meetup groups are organised for exactly that reason. Meet people who are interested in the same things as you are. From bush walk groups, party people, crypto traders to sailing enthusiasts there are groups for literally any hobby and interest. I challenge you to think of anything that you can't find. Head to meetup.com and internations.org and sign up for something fun tomorrow.
TIP #4 Beach life saving clubs
Life saving clubs are organisations of volunteers to ensure safety on the beach. People from all ages are welcomed and after a short training you can start as a patron. Each club has their own history, events and ceremonies. It's a great way to make new friends in Sydney in and you do something good at the same time.
TIP #5 Sport clubs
One of the awesome things about Sydney is that everyone loves their sports. There are plenty of sport clubs to choose from depending on what you enjoy and the level of your fitness. Just to give a few examples there are outdoor boxing classes in Hyde park, yoga by the sea in Bondi, rugby, cricket and bowling everywhere. Sydney swimming clubs have a long history and hold regular competitions. Finally sports will keep you healthy in addition to building a quick bond and make new friends in Sydney.
TIP #6 Backpacker hostels and bars
The whole awkwardness to start a conversation with a stranger is completely non-existent in hostels. Amongst travellers there are many people staying in a hostel when they first arrive, consequently they are in the same shoes as you. Hence it's a good idea to join a hostel group rather than discovering Sydney's bars on your own. If you are feeling more adventurous pretend being a tourist for a weekend and chill at a hostel in a different part of town?

As of the start of the new year, Deerfield, Mass. will join the group of cities where a person must be at least 21-years-old to purchase tobacco products, as the town's board of health approved the increase at its meeting on Tuesday night. It goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2017.
While the board approved the increase, it will have to hold a revote in two weeks due to an improper posting of the regulations, but its decision is not expected to change, according to a report from WHMP.com.
The town had a 2010 population estimate of 5,125 people. It is located in the northwestern part of the state, 35 miles north of Springfield.
Update (Dec. 15, 2016) — The board approved the increase once again at its Dec. 14 meeting. It still goes into effect on Jan. 1.
This story was originally published on Dec. 1.

The next installment of my Irish Pub series will focus on 'The King's Head'. This is an excellent pub (but its hard to say any pub in Galway isn't excellent). It is an incredibly historic building, with an inscription of 1612 over a fireplace as you walk in the door. It takes its name from the beheading of Charles I of England. It also has multiple floors. Right at the main entrance you can choose to head upstairs or into the main floor area. There is a slightly narrow path with the bar on the left wrapping into the stage area and a few tables on the right. There is a substantial stage where there are plenty of live music choices throughout the week. Where Taaffe's and some other places have more traditional music, The King's Head has more variety and a larger area to accommodate a larger, more full band. You can sit right up against the stage or along the bar on the first floor and there isn't a bad seat in the house. The upper level is just as fun. There is a balcony that overlooks the stage so you can get a great view of the band from the upper level as well. There is also plenty of seating upstairs so this pub can handle quite the crowd.
We spent many evenings in The King's Head, including one watching the Irish national soccer team take on France in the World Cup group matches in 2009. We were dressed in our Irish jerseys standing side by side with the Irish and even some French fans watching the game go back and forth. As you may, or may not, remember France won the game partly due to a very controversial goal resulting from a very clear handball. The reaction in the pub as the game concluded was one of the most intense sports related atmospheres I have ever experienced. I'm sure it was quite uncomfortable to be in the minority, that is fans of the French team, after the conclusion of the game in such a controversial way.
As a side note to the pub atmosphere of The King's Head, they also have quite a delicious menu to choose from. I made a point to try the seafood chowder at as many restaurants/pubs in Ireland as possible and The King's Head is absolutely in my top 3.

ARIPRINT: Database of publications of the institute
|Brosche, P.
|Die maximalen Rotationsgeschwindigkeiten in Galaxien
|Z. Astrophys. 66, 161-169
|The observed values for the maximum rotational velocities vm - or their lower limits - are listed for 53 galaxies. From these data, mean values and dispersions are obtained for groups of galaxies according to their type (spiral or irregular), kind of observation (optical or 21 cm line) and completeness of observed rotation curve. The mean maximum rotational velocity is vm = 220±63 km/sec from optically observed maxima in 27 spirals. All groups of data indicate a value vm systematically lower for the irregulars than for the spirals. This could even be understood by such evolutionary changes in the galactic structure which are compatible with conservation of mass and angular momentum. The released gravitational energy is capable of driving the turbulent motions of interstellar clouds.

What Is Organic Farming and Its Many Benefits
What is organic farming?
Organic Farming is a technique used in farming without the use of any chemicals or synthetics. Aim of organic farming is to produce crops which have the highest nutritional values with least impact on nature. Crop rotation, green manure, use of natural fertilizers and biological pest control form the crux of organic farming. It is a proactive ecology management strategy. This strategy enhances the fertility of the soil, prevents soil erosion and at the same time protects the humans and animal kingdom from the side-effects of chemicals and synthetics. Many of the farm products, like, vegetables, fruit, herbs, meat, milk, eggs, etc. are produced organically by some farmers.
Is organic food more nutritious than conventional food?
The definitive study has not been done, mainly because of the multitude of variables involved in making a fair comparison between organically grown and conventionally grown food. These include crop variety, time after harvest, post-harvest handling, and even soil type and climate, which can have significant effects on nutritional quality. However, organic food is far less likely to contain pesticide residues than conventional food.
Is organic food safe?
Yes. Organic food is as safe to consume as any other kind of food. Just as with any kind of produce, consumers should wash before consuming to ensure maximum cleanliness. As cited above, organic produce contains significantly lower levels of pesticide residues than conventional produce. It is a common misconception that organic food could be at greater risk of E. coli contamination because of raw manure application although conventional farmers commonly apply tons of raw manure as well with no regulation whatsoever.
Why does organic cost more?
The cost of organic food is higher than that of conventional food because the organic price tag more closely reflects the true cost of growing the food: substituting labor and intensive management for chemicals, the health and environmental costs of which are borne by society. These costs include cleanup of polluted water and remediation of pesticide contamination. Prices for organic foods include costs of growing, harvesting, transportation and storage. In the case of processed foods, processing and packaging costs are also included.
Organically produced foods must meet stricter regulations governing all these steps than conventional foods. The intensive management and labor used in organic production are frequently (though not always) more expensive than the chemicals routinely used on conventional farms. There is mounting evidence that if all the indirect costs of conventional food production were factored into the price of food, organic foods would cost the same, or, more likely, be cheaper than conventional food. Cost, however, is very dependent upon market venue and consumer product choice. It is possible to consume a moderately priced diet of organic foods by purchasing directly from farmers at venues such as farmers markets, and by choosing unprocessed organically grown foods at the grocery store.
Are organic yields lower?
Based on 154 growing seasons' worth of data on various crops, organic crops yielded 95% of crops grown under conventional, high-input conditions. Growers who go through the 3-year transition period from conventional to organic management usually experience an initial decrease in yields, until soil microbes are re-established and nutrient cycling is in place, at which point yields return to previous levels.
Advantages of Organic Farming
The most important of the advantages of organic farming is that it maintains the life of the soil, not only for the current generation, but also for the future generations. Water pollution is reduced with organic farming. Most of the times after it rains, the water from the fields, which contains chemicals, gets drained into the rivers. This pollutes the water bodies. In organic farming, since no chemicals or synthetics are used, water pollution reduces as well.
Organic farming helps in building richer soil. Rich soil is obtained by intelligently rotating crops. The rich soil helps in plant growth. The rate of soil erosion is reduced drastically. A French study has revealed that the nutritional quality and micro-nutrients are present in higher quantities in organically produced crops. The micro-nutrients promote good health.
Organically grown food tastes better too. The overall cost of cultivating the crops reduces as the farmers use green manure or worm farming to replenish the lost nutrients of the soil. The other option that the farmers use, is to grow legumes in rotation with the other crops.
The life of organically grown plants is longer than the plants cultivated by traditional methods. Organically grown crop is more drought tolerant. The chemical fertilizers cause the plant to ripen fast. When the crop does not get water it withers and dies, which is not the case with organic crops.
Disadvantages of Organic Farming
Along with the pros of organic farming, there are certain cons of organic farming too. The first disadvantage of organic farming is low productivity. With the highly developed chemicals and machinery, the farmer is able to multiply his harvest manifold times. The organic farmers use the cultivation method as opposed to drilling method used by the traditional farmers. The cultivated soil is prone to wind and water erosion. The traditional farmers opine that direct drilling does not cause any disharmony in the soil structure.
The next argument, which goes against organic farming, is that the organically produced food is expensive. The cost is very often 50-100 percent more than the traditional food. The other valid argument is that organic food is not always available. There is a reason behind that.
The organic farmers grow crops in accordance to the season. Neither do they artificially grow any crop nor do they extend the life of the plant or use chemicals, synthetics or pesticides. Therefore, oranges will be found only in winters and mangoes only in summer. Looking at it from the health benefits point of view, there is no doubt that you will benefit if you eat a particular food item, when it is actually in season.
After weighing the pros and cons of organic farming, it is noticed, that the pros of organic farming outweigh the cons of organic farming. It is therefore best to consume organically grown food, although a bit expensive.
