Amid the lively Kinga's Lounge, owner Kinga Klek regularly rolls up her sleeves and tends to the full bar and kitchen, working beside a family of staffers as they construct traditional Polish cuisine from scratch. The chefs turn fresh ingredients into authentic dishes, such as stews, schnitzels, and pierogis, while bartenders help diners navigate the staggering menu of Polish beers and vodkas.
Inside the lounge's dining area, a full-wall mural interrupts a red-and-white color scheme as light from chandeliers dapples ornate wood furnishings. Leather armchairs cradle patrons upstairs, who can carry their merrymaking downstairs to Kinga's Basement, an equally spirited watering hole where exposed-brick walls stand sentinel under arches and pillars. Festivities spill over to the outdoor patio, enclosed by verdant foliage and strings of lights that crisscross the al fresco space in a foolish attempt to make their way east to become one with the sun. A full schedule of events, including a live DJ on weekends and a comedy showcase on Sunday evenings, keeps revelers reveling.
Every year since 2007, Jazz@Jack's has won first or second prize in the Denver CitvVoter category of Best Live Music Venue due to its nightly soundtrack of live jazz, blues, and funk. The watering hole's co-owners and house band Dotsero regularly perform their acclaimed brand of contemporary jazz tunes, which floated weightlessly out of the speakers of the space shuttle Endeavor during a 187-orbit flight around Earth. A full calendar of local and national acts lures patrons into the sleek space, where walls of windows reveal panoramic views of the surrounding buildings' toupees. A vibrant hand-painted mural depicting musicians interrupts warm orange walls as the stage's bright lights spill onto a black-and-white-checkered dance floor. Tall tables serve as rest stops for dancers to intermittently sip wine and cocktails blended at the full bar, and a spacious patio encourages the sharing of conversations and selections from Jazz@Jack's smattering of classic bar appetizers and desserts.
Seasoned cook Jose Aparicio, affectionately known as Chef Pepito, puts his more than 20 years experience to use preparing authentic Peruvian dishes with an American twist, cooking inside a sleek, brightly colored eatery decked out with rustic wrought-iron chandeliers. He marinates his classic ceviche's halibut in lime before mingling it with corn, potatoes, red onion, and cilantro, as well as sizzles up heartier entrees such as tacu tacu—bean cakes and brown rice topped with a quintessential Peruvian seafood sauce. He also riffs on classic Peruvian food with mushroom ceviche and spiced filet mignon with crunchy potatoes.
Behind the bar, which is inlaid with exposed brick, drink mavens craft Peruvian cocktails, such as pisco sours and the Mosquito, a variation of the mojito that's amped up with Cointreau and fruit juices before being swatted, not stirred.
Every aspect of Next Door Lounge is designed with one goal in mind: helping patrons unwind. Craft beers complement Next Door's menu of pub food classics, such as juicy Angus beef burgers and wings doused in fiery atomic sauce. As tunes play from the jukebox, the night's biggest games and most crucial advertisements are shown on a 10'x6' television screen. Other matches unfold in-house, from tests of true aim on the beer pong table to careful stacking sessions with the bar's giant Jenga set. Evenings at Next Door Lounge also pack plenty of live entertainment, including bingo and open mic nights.
At Beauty Bar, purple-and-white checkered floors, a disco ball, and other retro-themed decor transports cocktail hour back to the '70s. While guests sip on martinis and other cocktails, glamour technicians beautify nails with express manicures, topping nails with long-lasting polish instead of melted-down fishing lures. The vintage saloon stays open until 2 a.m., allowing guests to flaunt their freshly dazzling nails on the dance floor during DJ nights like the hip-hop ladies night or Friday dance parties.
Pizza Public's dining area takes on two different looks during any given business day: it's a family-oriented "craft" pizzeria by day and turns into a full lounge and bar at night. Amid soft lights and flat-screen TVs, daytime diners and families nibble on house pizzas fresh from the kitchen that can be decked out in traditional pepperoni or more daring toppings such as goat cheese or mango. When the sun goes down, the eatery's bar comes to life as patrons sip on cocktails or a large selection of Colorado craft beers. The full menu is available all day, with gluten-free options for all pizzas and a tapas list that includes bruschetta and the eatery's inventive prosciutto puffers.

Naturally Vitamins - Histame Food Intolerance Support - 30 Capsules
Naturally Vitamins Histame Food Intolerance Support is clinically shown to regulate histamine levels in the body that cause food intolerance. Histame is the first dietary supplement in the United States with the pro-histamine Diamine Oxidase (DAO).
Histame naturally helps discomfort from:
What is food intolerance?Countless numbers of people suffer from food sensitivity and intolerance - often without being aware of it. Effects can range from common digestive system problems including abdominal pain and spasms, diarrhea, constipation, and flatulence, to headaches, to skin rash and eczema - all due to the body's inability to thoroughly digest food caused by the lack of proper amounts of certain enzymes.
Many food intolerances are confused with food allergies and are caused by elevated levels of histamine in food. These elevated histamine levels can make eating foods, such as pizza, fish, wine, beer, and many other foods a miserable experience. Until now, one of the only options was to avoid these histamine-containing foods.
Histame is the first product worldwide that decreases histamine levels that cause food intolerance by replenishing the body's digestive enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO). This clinically shown dietary supplement regulates histamine levels in the body, unlike antihistamines, which only block the histamine.
Food Intolerance versus Food AllergyIt is important to recognize the difference between food intolerance and food allergy. Non-allergenic histamine food intolerance is mostly brought on by foods not processed properly in the intestinal tract.
Food intolerance is a digestive system response to the inability to digest particular ingredients in food that does not involve the immune system. In contrast, a food allergy is an abnormal response to food triggered by the body's immune system.
Reactions to histamine found in foods are not food allergies, though the symptoms can look and feel the same. Furthermore, the severity of the food intolerance symptoms is dependent on the ingested amounts of histamine-rich food.
IMPORTANT: Allergic reactions can cause serious illness and, in some cases, death. If you have a food allergy, it is extremely important that you work with your health care provider to find out what food(s) cause your allergic reactions.Histamine
A biogenic component often found is processed foods, histamine is an amine (nitrogen) derived from the decarboxylation of the amino acid histidine. In the digestive tract (GI), Diamine Oxidase (DAO) breaks down histamine. Histamine can mimic the discomforts commonly caused by immune system-based food allergies.
Other common types of food intolerance:
Effects of Food IntoleranceIndividuals who suffer from food intolerance often experience one or more symptoms. The symptoms may vary significantly in terms of severity and frequency.
Histamine-rich Foods/SubstancesHistamine levels will vary based on the maturation process and the degree of freshness. The longer food is stored or left to mature, the greater its histamine content and the more problematic it can be for individuals with food sensitivities and intolerance.
Fresh meat contains no or very little histamine. However, when meat is processed further, the maturation process results in the accumulation of biogenic amines.
The same is true for fish. Fresh fish contains no or very little histamine. However, fish spoils very easily and this leads to a rapid accumulation of histamine due to bacteria. Further processing, which includes salting, smoke-drying, marinating and preservation, may increase the histamine content.
Examples of foods/substances that may increase histamine levels resulting in symptoms including digestive problems, headaches and skin rashes are:
Drugs/Substances that may block intestinal DAO
How to use HistameHundreds of thousands of Europeans have already been helped with the Diamine Oxidase ingredient in Histame. Already available and sought after throughout Europe, Naturally Vitamins' new dietary ingredient (NDI), the Diamine Oxidase (DAO) enzyme, was acknowledged by the Food and Drug Administration in 2008. This breakthrough achievement offers hope to millions of Americans who suffer from histamine food intolerance.
Histame naturally helps discomforts caused by food intoleranceHistame is for people whose doctors have decided that their discomfort is caused by intestinal food intolerance, a non-immune system-based occurrence. Histame is the first product worldwide that regulates histamine levels that can cause food intolerance by replenishing the body's digestive enzyme DAO.
Histamine is a widely distributed biogenic amine, found in many foods. DAO, the intestinal tract histamine-degrading enzyme, breaks down ingested histamine, thus helping to lower overall histamine levels. A deficiency of DAO can cause an increase histamine exposure inside the body, which may result in symptoms of histamine food intolerance including digestive problems. This dietary supplement is clinically shown to regulate the histamine levels in the body (lower intestine) unlike antihistamines which only block the histamine.
Who should take HistameThis product is for children (5 years and older), teenagers and adults consuming foods rich in histamine. Histame is not intended for those who have immune system-related food allergies.
Warnings and when to ask a health care professionalHistame is not effective with immune system-based food allergies, or with peanut or wheat gluten allergies. Ask a health care professional before use, or if you are taking antihistamines. Keep out of reach of children. Stop use and ask a health care professional if your food intolerance symptoms continue or worsen. Check with your doctor if you are pregnant or nursing.
This product is not effective with immune system-based food allergies, or with peanut, wheat gluten allergy symptoms.

Emails from Petraeus biographer led to probe
The FBI investigation that uncovered the extramarital affair leading to the resignation of David Petraeus as director of the CIA began after a woman complained to law enforcement officials about harassing emails, according to two officials briefed on the inquiry.
The FBI traced the emails to Paula Broadwell, the author of a Petraeus biography who has been identified as having the affair with him, these officials say — her messages warning another woman to stay away from Petraeus.
In their investigation, investigators stumbled across what one of those familiar with it describe as extensive online correspondence between Broadwell and Petraeus. Most, and perhaps all, of it used their respective Google email accounts.
Within weeks, one of the most decorated retired generals in the United States and chief of the intelligence agency was submitting his resignation to a just-reelected President Obama.
"After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair," Petraeus, 60, wrote to CIA employees. "Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours."
Broadwell and Petraeus, both graduates of West Point, first met in spring 2006 when she was a graduate student at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
He was a lieutenant general working on a counterinsurgency manual that would be tested during his command in Iraq. Harvard had invited him to give a speech.
Broadwell was in the Army Reserve after being recalled three times to active duty since the 9/11 attacks to work on counterterrorism issues. She intended to return to active duty or get into the policy world, according to the preface of the Petraeus biography she would later write with an editor at The Washington Post.
Broadwell wrote in the preface to "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus," published by Penguin in January, that while at Harvard, Petraeus passed along his card and offered to help her academic work on leadership.
"I later discovered that he was famous for this type of mentoring and networking, especially with aspiring soldier-scholars," Broadwell wrote, adding that "I took full advantage of his open-door policy to seek insight and share perspectives."
National security issue
One official said that although the investigators were surprised to discover email evidence that Petraeus was having an affair, they did not report that to the House and Senate intelligence committees, despite the fact that such a relationship could have exposed national security secrets.
Michael Kortan, an FBI spokesman, declined to comment.
The sensitivity of an extramarital affair at the CIA stems from the potential for exposure to blackmail, according to one U.S. official, as well as the issue of a leader setting a bad example for subordinates. In Petraeus' case, however, the affair did not jeopardize his high-level security clearances because he already had passed the polygraph exam required for a top-secret clearance as a senior military officer and didn't need to retake it at the CIA, the official said.
While the investigators interviewed Petraeus for the first time in late October, the official said, the FBI didn't tell Petraeus' nominal superior, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, of its findings until the late afternoon of Election Day, a second U.S. official said.
Clapper, this official said, recognized immediately that Petraeus could not remain at the CIA and informed the White House national security adviser Tom Donilon last Wednesday.
The first official said there appeared to be no criminal or national security matters involved, adding that it isn't clear if the FBI has closed its investigation.
Petraeus handed his resignation letter to President Obama on Thursday, stunning many in the White House, the CIA and Congress. The news broke in the media before the House and Senate intelligence committees were briefed, officials said.
Members of Congress say they want answers to questions about the affair that led to the resignation.
Working on Ph.D.
Broadwell is a research associate at Harvard's Center for Public Leadership and a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of War Studies at King's College London,, according to her biography on Penguin's website. The Charlotte Observer in North Carolina said that she grew up in North Dakota and moved to Charlotte more than three years ago with her husband, a radiologist, and their two young sons.
The book began as research for her dissertation, a case study of Petraeus' leadership. It evolved into an authorized biography written with Vernon Loeb after Obama put Petraeus in charge of Afghanistan in 2010.
Two years earlier, she wrote in the book's preface, while visiting Washington Petraeus had invited her to join him and his team for a run along the Potomac River.
"I'd earned varsity letters in cross-country and indoor and outdoor track and finished at the top of my class for athletics at West Point; I wanted to see if he could keep stride during an interview. Instead, it became a test for me," she wrote.
He eventually increased the pace "until the talk turned to heavy breathing, and we reached a 6-minute-per-mile pace. It was a signature Petraeus move. I think I passed the test, but I didn't bother to transcribe the interview."
In the Army Reserve, she specialized in military intelligence, spending time at the U.S. Special Operations Command and the FBI Counterterrorism Task Forces before pursuing an academic career, according to her Penguin biography. She "lived, worked or traveled in more than 60 countries during more than 15 years of military service and work in geopolitical analysis and counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations," the biography states.
Broadwell made multiple trips to Afghanistan, with unprecedented access to Petraeus and also spent time with his commanders across the country.
Top vacancies
The discovery of the affair, and ultimately the resignation of Petraeus marks the derailment of the career of the man widely commended for his oversight of the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and often mentioned as a future presidential candidate.
"By any measure, he was one of the outstanding general officers of his generation, helping our military adapt to new challenges," Obama said in a statement. In Iraq and Afghanistan, the president said, Petraeus "helped our nation put those wars on a path to a responsible end."
The sudden departure of Petraeus leaves another national security vacancy for Obama to fill, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta expected to leave sometime next year, possibly along with Clapper.
Morell, who is close to the deputy national security adviser, Denis McDonough, and other members of the National Security Council staff, is a leading candidate to succeed Petraeus, along with Michael Vickers, undersecretary of defense for intelligence, according to administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Congressional officials say Morell will testify in Petraeus' place before congressional intelligence committees next week on what the CIA knew, and what it told the White House before, during and after the attacks that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Libya last Sept. 11.

Select Route:
This is a pretty good climb. Refer to the directions below to find it. In early morning, the sun is low enough that all but the top of the route is shaded by the more southern wall. By mid-day it is shaded only at the base. In afternoon, it is shaded in almost its entirety again. The lower part of this route is casual, ascending good stone at ~5.6 to reach the start of the crack. The crack is steeper than it looks, and the climbing instantly hits 5.8 or 5.9 as protection becomes available. Climb up and protect on good gear to reach the bulging handcrack up top. Plunk in perfect gear, and do the 5.10a crux to top out on the slab. Wander up a little way to the West and belay, than escape by continuing West to down-climb (5.4?) in a slot and slab to the West, to the South of the main summit of Green Mt. Pinnacle.
Go up over the top, or West end of the Green Mountain Pinnacle. From there, descend down to the South side, going East/South East into an "Alley" of sorts. This is 30 meters SE of the Green Sneak chimney.
The route is runout on 5.6 climbing to reach the beginning of the crack. After that a few nuts, cams and slings will get you up it safely. The crux protects on ~2.5 inch cam in perfect rock overhead.

No - banks should be allowed to foreclose faster. Twenty-man-strong foreclosure teams should be allowed to toss furniture and clothes from open windows. I recommend wheelbarrows and leaf blowers.
Yes. The current system is so badly abused by banks that most of the foreclosures that have taken place in the last few years are invalid. These foreclosures can be challenged up to 20 years after the fact. It is wreaking havoc with buyers' title, nit to mention the homeowners who have been ripped off.

Don't press play if you're don't like heights and scary thrills. But rest assured, 22-year-old Australian Erin Langworthy survived to tell the tale after her bungee cord broke on New Year's Eve during a jump from a bridge over the Zambezi River on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
She hit the water 365-feet below. Fortunately, it appears, the cord slowed her descent before it snapped. Still, Langworthy broke her collarbone — and she tells Australia's 9 News that at one point she "had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught on to make it to the surface." She also suffered extensive bruising.
Langworthy "managed to swim to the Zimbabwe side of the river after seeing it was closest," 9 News says, even though her feet were still tied to the cord.
The Associated Press video report is posted here.

The Yankees claimed a two-games-to-one lead in the best-of-seven ALCS, with Game 4
scheduled for Sunday night.
"We didn't come here to fight, we came here to win baseball games," said Karim Garcia, who
was smack in the middle of the bizarre events. "That's our main goal, and that's what we did."
The Yankees hit Martinez for four runs in the first four innings, getting to the three-time Cy
Young Award winner early. The 41-year-old Clemens, making his final start in Boston,
countered with six solid innings as the Yanks took control of the series.
Boston plated two runs on three hits in the first inning against Clemens, who looked shaky to
start the game. With the 34,209 at Fenway chanting "Roger! Roger!" at their former ace, Manny Ramirez's two-run single got the Sox out to a 2-0 lead.
The Yankees struck back with a run in the second on an RBI single by Garcia, and Derek Jeter
evened the score in the third, belting the first pitch from Martinez over the Green Monster and
on to Lansdowne Street.
Martinez appeared to lose control in the fourth, walking Posada to start the inning. Nick
Johnson followed with a single off the Monster, and Hideki Matsui lined a ground-rule double
to right field, scoring Posada.
Martinez hit Garcia with his first pitch, grazing him in the back after Garcia ducked out of the
way. Home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez warned both benches, causing a stir in the
"He threw a pitch at my head," Garcia said. "I wouldn't have had a problem if he threw at my
shoulder, back or legs. But throwing at my head? I didn't appreciate that. When you do that,
you threaten someone's career."
With the bases loaded, Alfonso Soriano hit into a 6-4-3 double play, scoring Johnson from
third to give the Yankees a 4-2 lead.
Garcia, who was forced out at second on the double play, slid hard into second baseman Todd
Walker, who turned the DP anyway. Words were exchanged between the two players,
arousing the attention of everyone in both dugouts. The tone of the game had clearly been
"I was very upset with them throwing at my head, so I was going to take somebody down,"
Garcia said. "Unfortunately, it was him. I have nothing against him. I let my emotions take
over. If it wasn't him, it was going to be someone else."
"The intent is what I was upset about," Walker said. "If I was in his shoes, I would have done
the same thing. As a hitter, nobody wants a pitch like that thrown at him."
Ramirez led off the bottom of the inning, falling behind Clemens, 1-2. Clemens' next pitch was
high and over the plate, but Ramirez backed off as if it were headed directly at him. Ramirez
took a step toward the mound, yelling at Clemens, who yelled back. Both benches cleared as
David Ortiz struggled to restrain Ramirez near the first-base line.
"I was trying to strike him out inside. The pitch was actually over the plate I think," Clemens
said. "I was OK with it until I looked up and he was coming towards me, mouthing me.
Anybody is going to react when that happens. But other than that, I'd really not like to talk
about that."
Away from the action, Yankees bench coach Don Zimmer ran aggressively toward Martinez,
who grabbed the 72-year-old by his head and threw him to the ground in front of Boston's
dugout. Zimmer was attended to, heading back to the bench with a cut on his nose. No
players or coaches were ejected after the 13-minute delay.
"I've got nothing to say. Nothing," Zimmer said. "We won."
Clemens took the energy of the game and used it to his advantage. The Rocket retired the side
in order in the fourth and fifth, while Martinez did the same in the fifth and sixth.
"He beared down, focused and got better," Posada said. "He really got stronger and did
everything possible against them. He gave us the chance to win the game."
Boston threatened in the sixth, as Johnny Damon's single and Walker's base on balls put two
men on with no outs. Clemens responded by striking out Nomar Garciaparra and getting
Ramirez to ground into a 6-4-3 double play, maintaining the two-run lead. It would be the last
inning for Clemens, who allowed two runs on five hits and a walk, striking out seven in six
"I thought it was a courageous sixth inning," Torre said. "He had to go through that lineup
with a couple of men on base. It was incredible. I just took him out of the game. Pitch count
didn't get him, but I think the emotion of the whole thing really, really drained him."
Martinez breezed through the seventh, again sitting the Yankees down 1-2-3. Martinez left
the game after that, having retired 11 consecutive Yankees hitters. He was charged with four
runs on six hits and a walk, striking out six.
"Winning the first game up here is enormous, especially when you beat Pedro," Torre said. "I
thought we were aggressive against him. "
The Red Sox chipped away at the lead in the seventh, taking advantage of a leadoff walk
issued to Ortiz by Felix Heredia. Jose Contreras relieved Heredia and quickly gave up a single
to Kevin Millar that put runners at the corners with no outs. Trot Nixon grounded into a
double play, scoring Ortiz to make it 4-3, but Contreras shut it down from there, protecting
the lead.
Torre then turned to his trusted closer to go for the two-inning save. Mariano Rivera retired the
Sox in order on eight pitches in the eighth and closed out the game with a scoreless ninth,
notching his third save of the postseason and 28th of his playoff career. All three of his saves
this October have been two-inning saves, giving him a big-league record nine.
"I felt it was necessary, especially with the emotion of the game," Torre said. "You never know
from one game to the next if a closer is going to come into play, so when you get an
opportunity in a short series like this to win a ballgame, you try to seize that moment. I never
want to do it, but the game itself dictated that I had nowhere else to go. Nowhere else to go, in
my mind."
The win leaves the Yankees two games from their sixth World Series appearance in eight
years, with David Wells looking to improve on his 9-2 career postseason record on Sunday.
Boston counters with John Burkett.
"I hope it's over," Jason Giambi said of the events. "This doesn't need to escalate any more than
it has. It's over and done with, everyone contained themselves. This shouldn't turn into a war.
It's a baseball game."
"Great theater, whatever you want to call it," Clemens said. "I think everybody got their
money's worth."

Select Route:
A small, but concentrated cliff of andesite columns with some steep, long crack climbs and a few bearhug-style sport routes. Named for an incident involving the crag's proximity to the highway, a passing motorist, and a climber's exposed buttocks.
Getting There
The obvious crag of striking parallel columns on the south side of the Tieton River, about 3 miles west of the Royal Columns. Pull off into a large parking area just before the crag is visible (WDFW parking decal required) and cross the river on a lawsuit-waiting-to-happen footbridge. Turn right on the Tieton Nature Trail and hike west till you see an obvious trail branching left and up the hill toward the crag. Stay on this trail longer than you think you should and you'll come to a side trail to the crag.

With so many other photo books done on Italy (including the many found here on Blurb.com), why do another one?
The answer is simply this:
"You have to go to Italy!"
My mother-in-law insisted we go there. Having been there several times before, she said it was the most fabulous place she had visited. We finally had the chance to do so in October of 2007.
What we found was a country with more diversity than many larger countries. For almost two weeks we traveled to five regions, each with its own uniqueness. Even so, they all shared the Italian zest for life, making us travelers from a distant land as welcome as though we were family.
In short, this was a trip of a lifetime.
(Note: This is a newly revised edition of the book originally published on September 5, 2008).

Fleeing and Evading Arrest in Ballard County
Date of News Release: 07/30/2007
(Ballard County) - At Approximately 11:04 pm on July 28, 2007 Kentucky State Police and Ballard County Sheriff's Department were holding a traffic safety checkpoint on Highway 62 in Lovelaceville. A white 2005 Chevy Pick-up truck, later found to be driven by 21 year old Dustyn Davis of Boaz, Ky., turned around to avoid the checkpoint.
Ballard County Deputies attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle, which failed to stop. A pursuit ensued which went through Ballard, McCracken and Graves Counties. Police lost Davis for a short time but while attempting to locate him at his residence, came across him in the same area and he eluded police again. During this pursuit Mr. Davis turned off of Lebanon Church Road and was going the wrong way on US 45. Trooper Cory Jessup attempted a forcible stop on Mr. Davis to stop him from encountering oncoming traffic as he was southbound in the northbound lanes. Though contact was made causing severe damage to Trooper Jessup's police car Mr. Davis was still able to flee. The pursuit traveled through the Boaz area going up Wice Church Road where McCracken County Deputies, Graves County Deputies and Lone Oak Police staged. McCracken County Deputies deployed tire deflation devices and were able to deflate Mr. Davis' tires. The pursuit ended approximately one half mile later on Hwy 1241 in McCracken County.
Mr Davis was taken into custody without further incident. He was lodged in the McCracken County Jail. Kentucky State Police, Graves County Sheriff's Department and McCracken County Sheriff's Department collectively charged Mr. Davis with Fleeing and Evading Police 1st Degree, six counts of Wanton Endangerment 1st Degree, Speeding, Traveling the Wrong Way on a Highway, Criminal Mischief 1st Degree, Disregarding a Stop Sign and Operating a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence. Charges are still under investigation in Ballard County.

|Now just 18 times more guilty
|Written by Mark Nichols
For years drug law reformers have been trying to eliminate the disparity in sentences handed down to defendants based on what form of cocaine they were in possession of or distributing. Since 1986, if you were busted for crack, you got a prison sentence 100 times tougher than the guy with the higher-quality powdered version of the same drug. Now that crack isn't the new kid on the block in terms of dangerous drugs, politicians have decided to reduce the sentencing disparity from 100 to one down to 18 to one.
In a shocking display of bipartisan unity, Senate lawmakers reached across the aisle and brokered a landmark deal this week to reduce criminal penalties for defendants caught with crack cocaine. They made the deal in the congressional gym, where according to ousted NY State Senator Eric Massa, the people's business is even done in the showers.
Observers say that Sen. Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) ran into colleagues Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) in the Senate gym before they had started their workouts. Durbin seized the moment to advance the legislation and the deal was sealed with a handshake two hours later at a committee meeting in the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
While health care, financial reform and virtually everything else on the agenda in Washington D.C. is a hostage to what seems like increasingly partisan politics, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously passed the measure 19 to 0. The compromise would reduce the sentencing disparity to 18 to 1 for people caught with crack cocaine vs. those who carry the drug in powdered form.
The current ratio has rested since 1986 at 100 to 1, disproportionately impacting African Americans, who are convicted of crack possession at far greater numbers. The Senate bill would increase the amount of crack cocaine required to trigger a five-year mandatory minimum sentence for possession with an intent to distribute from 5 grams to 28 grams.
Possessing cocaine in rock form, in any amount, will no longer carry a mandatory minimum prison term. This is the first time that Congress has overturned a mandatory minimum sentencing law.

ROCKPORT — A fire in the South Woods, off the end of Jerdens Lane burned over the weekend and through the day Monday.
The fire started beyond Kelly's Pond and ran along the dirt road and pipeline toward Cape Pond.
Firefighters on the town's force and its forest fire brigade first responded to reports of heavy smoke at 4 p.m. Saturday in the woods off of Jerdens Lane. Police scanner reports indicated firefighters had trouble finding the blaze, as it was deep in the woods, and there were some water issues as well. Crews fought the fire into the night, carrying backpacks and flashlights, until it was knocked down. They then suspended their efforts for safety reasons.
Police said forest firefighters went back out Sunday at 8 a.m. and returned at 6 p.m., and went out a third time Monday around 7 a.m. to continue knocking down hot spots, a job that continued through the day.
"It's tough because it's burning underground," the Fire Department said on its Facebook page Monday.

Scope looks good I liked the lighted reticle but thats as far as I go with the good scope is china junk light knob is difficult to adjust cant see through it , wont focus at all sent it back, For junk like this I feel they should pay for shipping back to them
I was dissapointed in the scopes. They were advertised as having a 4" eye relief but after they were monted on my Saiga 308 and my AR I only had about an inch at the lowest setting. It was to close for me to feel comfortable to shoot with my eye that close to the scope.
This scope is built with a blue bright reticle that provides lightning-fast target acquisition and pinpoint accuracy. The riflescope is also built with multi-layer coated lenses for superior clarity with zero distortion. This a rugged little scope and is fine for ARs, AKs, etc¿ Thank you SMG.
Scope mounts are a little cheap but glass is perfect. I upgraded mounts and it holds zero without a problem.
Nice scope for the money.

- Great food, unacceptable serviceLax54VIPDined on 8/30/2014Food was excellent. Service started great then waitress got a table of 8. We waited over 20 minutes after putting forks down from main course for plates to be cleared. Had to get sommelier to help. Then had to get up and tell someone our dessert order as it was another 15 minutes of waiting after all in our party had reviewed the dessert menu. While the rest of the staff stepped in to help with the dessert service, they should have continued the support as evern trying to pay the bill took forever.
- Food quality was subparMKVaVIPDined on 8/29/2014The dishes had a nice presentation but were below expectations. The ceviche was missing the tanginess, steak tartare was not as finally chopped and lacking kick (mustard), and lastly the fillet was not buttery; it required a lot of chewing, more like eyeround. The only item that was good was the swordfish.Special Features:
- Service and food don't match pricesDeborahahDined on 8/28/2014We had a reservation and were a bit early. We were left in the bar for 45 minutes waiting for an outdoor table, most of which were empty. When I asked about a table we were taken to a low outside "bar" table and handed bar menus. Once seated at an appropriate table the appetizers were good. Despite the restaurant name and prices, the filet that appeared after a considerable delay was tough and over cooked. The replacement was good - not great - but by that time my wife had finished her "ok" halibut. Would not go back as I expect great food and service at that price point.
- Truffle oil, oh yes.martinel2099Dined on 8/25/2014I brought my wife here for her 29th Birthday and we had an amazing time. We each ordered the 18oz New York Strip which turned out amazing. They also served French Fries with various dipping sauces and buns that were fried in truffle oil which were to die for. I couldn't believe that these items weren't at an additional charge. We also ordered a side of the truffle oil mac & cheese and that was also very good. I did have one small thing I didn't like. They charge $5 dollars for diet coke and don't offer free refills. I didn't know this until my check came out. This isn't a deal breaker for me, but I at least want to know about it before the check comes out. The server did comp the extra amount too which was nice.Special Features:
- GREAT VENUENEFoodieDined on 8/24/2014We loved everything about Bourbon Steak. The food was great, fantastic wine list, excellent service and chic ambience. We look forward to our next dinner there.Special Features:
- Expensive for what you gotSteakhuntersDined on 8/24/2014We went especially to have a great steak experience, but slightly disappointed. The steak was nice, but way over priced. We had 2 steaks, couple of drinks and dessert and came to around $200. I would have spent this at a Michelin star restaurant and got more. It's called Bourbon Steak, but my husband wasn't impressed as there was no Bourbon sauce to go with the steak, which you would think they would specialise in. Service was very good.Special Features:
- We celebrate my husband's 50th bdayJeanDined on 8/23/2014We had a wonderful time. The food and service was superb. There was also a card and a little piece of cake for himSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent but not as good as I remembeJamesVIPDined on 8/23/2014Bourbon was one of my favorite restaurants when I lived in DC. I recently dined there during a vacation. I was slightly disappointed with this visit. My primary complaint was the steak seemed to have more fat and less flavor than usual. The service, ambience and trademark complimentary appetizers (biscuits in truffle oil and duck fat fries) were all great.
- UnderwhelmedletterstoeatbyDined on 8/22/2014Our dinner table for three on Friday was very underwhelmed by the food. Drinks, service, and ambience was fine. So it was disappointing that our three steaks were tasteless (50 day aged local ny strip) or too salty (flat-iron wag you) only decent steak was the ribeye wagyu from tx. And more disappointment from the side orders Mac n cheese, the Yukon gold potato purée and the mushrooms maitake were bland also. You can't win them all but I had a terrific time with my wife and sister at the Bourbon Steak.Special Features:
- Cool joint to view rich folks strutBelacquaDined on 8/21/2014Great design, energy in the bar, rich and glamorous of Georgetown, some famous rock star was sitting in the lounge next to the bar, and the food is very, very good. But it is also very pricey, even for a lace like this, and my pricey flatiron steak was buried in salt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bourbon Steak OutstandingHLDontheTownDined on 8/18/2014This was my third time at Bourbon Steak and we sat outside this time. The staff was excellence and the food was outstanding as usual. Great place for a special occasionSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Quality Does Not Match the HypeFishLawyerDined on 8/16/2014I love steak houses. Been to dozens of different ones, all around the country. So, my review may be colored by my by my memories of truly great meals I've had in the past. But, since Bourbon Steak styles itself as world class (it certainly charges world class prices), I don't think unfair to compare. In short, this emperor has no clothes. The food is decidedly average. The service is okay, but nothing of special note for a place of this supposed quality. And the ambiance is wholly underwhelming. The entire experience was three stars, but I docked a star for so badly meeting advertised expectations. Save your money and go somewhere else.
- Great anniversary dinner...but...OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/16/2014My wife and I had a great anniversary dinner on Saturday. We were greeted with well wishes from the hostess and again at the table. Then we were welcomed with champagne, a great way to start the evening. The food and service was excellent, wish we could have tried dessert but we were running late for a show. The one comment, and maybe this is a new trend (stupid one), but if you are coming over to pour champagne the second I sit down and wishing us a happy anniversary, I feel the restaurant should also pick up the tab on that champagne. We were surprised to see it in the bill and paid it because we were running late. I feel this is a really under-minded attempt to just boost the bill and I will be much more cognizant next time.Special Features:
- Delicious!ValentinesDayDelightDined on 8/15/2014An overall excellent experience. Although the drink list was a bit unclear, the cocktail I randomly chose was outstanding. Instead of bread for starters, they serve three types of French fries and three dipping sauces. The curry dipping sauce was not great nor was the cheese flavored sauce, but the honey mustard sauce was tasty. As for dinner, the waiter warned us about ordering too many sides, but we insisted on getting 5 different sides for three people. Needless to say it was way to much. Sides were all excellent, but take the waiters recommendation as the portions are big. The steaks were outstanding. I ordered mine medium and it definitely came out med. rare. Still, it was a delicious steak. Service was outstanding and fast.Special Features:
- shrinkVIPDined on 8/13/2014Both the food and the ambiance were very good. The service was thoughtful and efficient. I would recommend this restaurant to friends and professional associates.Special Features:
- Too Much ButterOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/9/2014I understand that butter is decadent and is used liberally in most expensive dishes, but this restaurant goes a little too far. They poach all the steaks in it, they drench the rolls that come to the table, every side dish is overwhlemed with it. It just seems a little too much. At this level, it would make more sense to have more sophisticated light (EVOO) dishes. Everything is so heavy, seems a little glutenous which makes it feel cheap or unsophisticated. Just something to think about...
- good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/9/2014So a Four Seasons hotel. This implies diners leaving when they see high prices (but they should have checked the menu on line). The food here is incredible. I recommend the tuna tartare and the steaks. I tried the lobster pot pie. It was good (a tiny bit over cooked). The downsides are service and atmosphere. Out waitress said all/every one of the right things involved in being gracious. But it didn't seem to wash. It wasn't about being gracious and giving the gift of a spectacular experience. The design of the restaurant is antiquated (the least of my concerns). So, some very big pluses, and some things that are not bad, but that gratuitously could could be better--there does not seem to be an adult in the room overseeing everything.Special Features:
- AmazingFoodieDined on 8/7/2014Everything we ordered was tasty and cooked perfect. Must try the truffle Mac. They had a special birthday welcome for me when I sat at the table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good steak and expensiveLongMemoryDined on 8/4/2014The steak was very good but of course came with quite expensive price. The restaurant is worth it for a special occasion. The service is very good.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/1/2014The appetizers and cocktails were great. However, steaks were overcooked. I had a baked potato that was so hard I couldn't cut it with a steak knife. Stick with Morton's or the Palm if you want steak done right.Special Features:
- Fabulous experience with one caveatOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/1/2014Almost everything about our meal was lovely especially the birthday greeting & dessert bites, exceptional service & divine food. We had 2 young vegetarians along who were resigned to dining on salad & sides but thrilled to be served a quinoa burger & delicious gnocchi--"special creations" from the chef. The ONLY downside to our experience was no fault of the restaurant or its staff but rather the behavior of some impolite fellow diners (see below). There were many journalists/business types seated nearby and the Africa Summit was in town. Many diners were toting photography equipment & working on laptops & cell phones which definitely detracted from the ambiance of our intimate family celebration. Maybe this is always the vibe?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sticker shockFoodie1VIPDined on 7/31/2014Place was really great and service and pacing in line with the cost. But there is no way this is a $$$ restaurant, $$$$ at least...Special Features:
- averageBCofDCDined on 7/26/2014We were seated at 8:50, ordered promptly, received an appetizer at 9:45, and dinner at 10:30. That's a long time to wait for dinner. Much rather spend my money at Blue Duck where the food is truly impressive. Not "fit-for'foodies," but the bar scene is fun!Special Features:
- GingerDined on 7/26/2014Fabulous! We returned to Bourbon Steak and it is still wonderful. Winn Roberton is a gem and the wine selection wonderful. The staff is the best and not to be missed.Special Features:
- The Perfect MealesquirebabeVIPDined on 7/26/2014Three of the four of us were not huge red meat eaters, but we wanted to give it a try. And man, we weren't disappointed. At all. Not only were each of our steaks (2 of us had the Wagyu New York Strip, 2 had the Waygu Flatiron) the best steaks we have ever had, but the sides (whipped potatoes with gravy, truffle mac and cheese, sautéed spinach, asparagus, and crab hushpuppies), the truffle dinner rolls, the drinks (Crystal Clear Mojito, The Potomac Martini, and the Jefferson), and the service were impeccable and made for the perfect meal. We all agreed we'd come back the next time we were craving steak or just a lovely night out. It's not the cheapest meal in town, but for the quality and service you get, it's worth every penny.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I'm ruinedCraigVIPDined on 7/26/2014I'm not normally a fan of steak places. I normally see them as too expensive and too much food. Bourbon Steak however has ruined me for all future steaks. It is easy to drop some cash here and as long as you are denting your wallet, choose the Waygu. We got the hanger steak and the best thing I can say is that it melts in your mouth. Prepared medium rare it is almost creamy in its texture. The butter, scallion emulsion, and bourbon sauce is perfect on the beef. The trio of fries with the trio of sauces while were were waiting was an over the top treat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Much needed Mom night outdclocalVIPDined on 7/23/2014Girlfriend and I finally made it out to dinner and drinks! Fantastic service, the tartare delivered (both ahi and steak) and the trio of fries compliments of the kitchen did not disappoint.Special Features:
- AmazingJulioRDined on 7/18/2014What a great experience I had. I went to the Bourbon Steak for my Bday dinner and did not regret. Service is superb and the food was delicious. The ambience is also very nice, but a big group by our side was a bit noisy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- StellarMowfoeDined on 7/17/2014From the wine and cocktails, to the steak, to the strawberry sorbet, most everything was stellar. Chicken was just OK, but you don't expect to get chicken in a place like this. Not only will the manager check on you after the meal like most upscale restaurants, but he suggests something else to eat and addresses you by name...it's the little things, right?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

If this had been a more casual restaurant, it would have received five stars because I expect a higher noise level then. We loved it and will be back.Special Features:

- AWESOME STEAKSDMANNDined on 7/12/2014THE STEAKS HERE WERE AWESOME. THE STAFF TREATED US SO WELL FOR OUR 28TH ANNIVERSARY. I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND THIS PLACE!Special Features:
- perfect extravaganceDEGSDMDined on 7/12/2014this is a famous restaurant and the gracious service, creative menu, pleasant atmosphere -- and high prices -- all lived up to the hype. the beef lived up to its reputation, and husband, who is the expert carnivore, preferred the "regular" NY Strip to the Wagyu mini-filet we shared. the appetizer agnolotti were amazingly delicious, the sides of prawns (a regular on the menu) and creamed spinach were also excellent, as was the baked potato. the truffle-butter bread is also addicting, and the desserts were scrumptious. wife's fish was good. the portions, as server noted, are generous, so a group might enjoy ordering a variety of appetizers, sides, and accompaniments rather than entrees. unless you love a great steak.Special Features:
- Great Steaks at BourbonVinceDined on 7/11/2014Had a 8 oz Filet Mignon here. Ordered Medium Rare, steak came Meduim Rare+ and felt a little bit dry, but was delicious none the less. Ordered the Foie Gras as a side. Portion was reasonable but not huge as I had hoped. Had a glass of premium wine at $45, decent. Overall a nice meal although a bit on the expensive side. Place was humming and quite full. Reservations recommended. As the restaurant was busy, service was less attentive than I would have expected for a restaurant of this calibre.Special Features:
- Business Lunchiji93108VIPDined on 7/11/2014Not busy in July for Lunch. Quiet environment for business lunch; attentive staff. Food; colleagues "lamb burger" looked better than my "salmon burger" which had a ridiculously small portion of salmon on the bun (less than 3oz). Expensive; but as expectedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decadent Birthday DinnerAlohaAnaDined on 7/7/2014Enjoyed one of the best meals of my life! We arrived early and were seated right away. The birthday card from staff was a nice touch. Cocktails were amazing (The Killa B and the PC 2014) as were the trio of frites and rolls with truffle butter. The Strawberry Gazpacho was probably the most beautiful dish I have ever been served. My husband enjoyed the wedge salad, the bone-in New York Strip from VA (aged 50 days) and the salt-baked potato. I had the Lobster Pot Pie, reassembled table-side, which was phenomenal. I ended the meal with the Summer Panna Cotta and Moscato. We were checked on often by many of the staff and Colin provided excellent customer service. Can't wait for an encore meal. We'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- High expectationrayaVIPDined on 7/6/2014The name the price and the location were promising Food not so much It's a shame

A man armed with a gun sent people running from a Phoenix Kmart Thursday afternoon.
It was a chaotic scene outside the Kmart, located near 25th Avenue and Northern. When shoppers saw a man inside with a large gun, they ran out of the store, screaming and crying.
When officers arrived, the suspect was holed up inside the bathroom. He showed signs of being impaired by drugs.
"He wasn't trying to necessarily point it at officers, he wanted to commit suicide. A fight ensued," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Mike Lee.
Police wrestled the gun away from the man. Once they got the gun away from him, they realized it was stolen.
"The gun he had had been stolen from a vehicle earlier in the day. It was a stolen vehicle and it had a gun inside it."
The suspect was first taken to the hospital and will then be going to jail. One officer sustained minor injuries while wrestling with the suspect.

Habitat Board Approves Work in Japan, Nepal, Germany
Habitat for Humanity International Board of Directors Approves Three New Countries
Americus, Ga. - October, 27, 1997 - During Habitat for Humanity International's Board of Directors meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 17-19, three new countries were added to Habitat's growing mission. Japan, Nepal and Germany are the newest countries at which Habitat is at work.
In Japan, Habitat's first campus chapter was approved at Kwansei Gakuin University in Kobe. Currently, a number of other chapters are following that lead through involvement in short-term mission experiences and awareness raising. Habitat's presence in Japan presents new and exciting volunteer opportunities for the nation's citizens.
Habitat for Humanity of Nepal fills a great need for millions who live below the poverty line. As the country is struggling to emerge from economic, political and social problems, Habitat intends to build in every major geographic area of this developing country.
Nearly 1 million people live in substandard housing in Germany, primarily in the east. The people of Germany have been supporting the goals and principles of Habitat for Humanity since December 1995 and will continue to gather material and financial support and partner with other countries internationally.
The Habitat board's recent meeting in Cleveland also saw the addition of 36 new Habitat for Humanity affiliates and 17 new campus chapters in the United States.
Newly elected directors on the HFHI board include Sister Maria de Lourdes Turueno, Mexico City; Bonnie McElveen-Hunter, Greensboro, N.C., USA; and Jim Copeland, Washington, D.C., USA.
Founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and to making decent housing a matter of conscience and action. With the three newest affiliated countries, HFHI has approved work in 57 nations. More than 60,000 Habitat homes – housing some 300,000 people – have been built in the past 21 years.

The audacity of Advani
by azizhp, Fri Jul 11, 2008 at 08:09:59 AM EDT
L.K. Advani, of India's BJP party, is better known for fiery, nationalist, partisan rhetoric than he is for unity and change. At 80 years old, he's more McCain than Obama. However, as he makes his bid to be India's Prime Minister, he's trying to poach from the Obama playbook:
For a few months, a small team of political strategists, computer specialists and management graduates in New Delhi has been studying Obama's speeches and slogans, Web site, campus outreach and rhetoric of change.
"About 100 million first-time voters will enter the election landscape next year. That is a staggering number of young people. And the Indian youth is impatient for change," said Sudheendra Kulkarni, who heads up strategy for the campaign.
"We want to project the image of Advani around the idea of change the same way that Obama's message resonated with people's hunger for change," Kulkarni said.
More than two-thirds of India's 1 billion-plus people are younger than 35, making it one of the youngest emerging economies in the world. Rising income and aspirations, along with rapid urbanization, are forcing political parties to reimagine their old, top-down style of election campaigning.
"Like the Obama brand, we need to create a buzz around Advani-ji," said Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, a BJP member of Parliament and a key campaign official, attaching the Hindi honorific "ji" to the veteran leader's name. Naqvi recently returned from a leadership program at Yale University with a notebook full of observations from the presidential primaries.
As the article notes, the default communication medium in India is the cell phone/SMS rather than the web. The Advani campaign will have to genuinely innovate, since while the Obama campaign did make use of text messaging as one of its communication channels, SMS plays nowhere near the same role in US elections as the Internet does. That dynamic is totally inverted for India (and most Asian countries, since for most of them, cell phones were the vanguard of phone access rather than land lines).
If any campaign figures out a way to let a user make a micropayment to their candidate on their cell phone, then that's going to be enormous.
The other thing to be skeptical about is just how well the concept of "grassroots" is understood in the Indian setting. As the article notes, political parties there are very used to top-down, centralized campaigning. Will the Advani campaign be willing to let the grassroots have a genuine voice?
Whether the Advani team understands the principle behind Obama's model, or whether they are just aping Obama in cargo-cult fashion, remains to be seen. But the critique of Obama from the right has been that he is all message and no substance. If that's true, then that's good for Advani, assuming he faithfully reproduces it. If however, the success of Obama is not just the method but the man, then I don't think Advani is going to get much traction at all. Obviously I think the latter case will hold.


text: An Insider Look at The Bitters Seminar by partysugar 3/09/09 0 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 Recently Lucas Bols, the spirits brand behind Bols Genever, announced a unique series of classic cocktails seminars. The discussions would happen four times a year in both New York City and San Francisco. Along with the city by the bay's best bartenders, I was lucky enough to score an invite to the first seminar, "The History and Influence of Bitters." Here, I give you an account of the event. Rick Camargo Photography The Hosts What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The tutorial was presented by the men behind two very respected alcohol brands: Tal Nadari (on the left), Vice President of Lucas Bols, and German bitters connoisseur and creator of The Bitter Truth, Stephan Berg. Rick Camargo Photography 1 / 7 The Location What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The seminar was held on February 19, at Bacar Below, a fabulous bar downstairs from the popular South Beach restaurant Bacar. The menu consisted of a cheese display with an assortment of pates, charcuterie, and bread, and a variety of passed appetizers including mushroom tartlets, deviled quail eggs, and shrimp fritters. Rick Camargo Photography 2 / 7 The Drinks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Everyone attending the event got to sample ten different cocktails: the Brandy cocktail, the gin cocktail, Holland's Pride, Manhattan, Martinez, Marguertie, Martini, Bamboo, Turf, and the Sazerac. Each drink featured bitters. All were served straight up in small Champagne coups. Rick Camargo Photography 3 / 7 The Speaker What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In 2006, to offer bartender's a wider variety of cocktail seasonings, Stephan Berg founded the Bitter Truth, a special brand of bitters. His bitters come in four flavors: orange flower water, aromatic bitters, lemon bitters, and orange bitters. In this photo, Berg discusses the role of bitters in the Sazerac cocktail. Rick Camargo Photography 4 / 7 The Seminar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The hands on program lasted about an hour and a half. On each table were samples of some of the ingredients — angostura bark, wormwood, calisaya, caraway — used to make bitters. We were invited to smell them. Later copies of vintage bartending manuals were passed around for us to examine. Finally we tasted — by placing a drop of the potent liquid on the side of the hand — samples of bitters dating all the way back to the 1860s. Rick Camargo Photography 6 / 7 The Bitters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A range of bitters from several sources and years were on hand. Depending on the type of bitters, some were consumed with a sugar cube, while others were consumed alone. Rick Camargo Photography 6 / 7 The Crowd What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The tables were filled with San Francisco's bartending elite, including mixologists from Bourbon and Branch, Beretta, Nopa, and Rye, among others.

So the question is - how do I trigger a vibration when clicking (onclick event) a <div> or an <img> element? I've used div's as the element for the moving pieces in the game but was unable to find a solution as to how to give feedback for clicking an object? Easiest solution would be to make all elements into links but surely it's possible to make it work some other way as well - right?
Any suggestions?
