2-Day Italy Trip: Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri
Reviewed by: Jennifer W, August 2014
This was an amazing trip. All the hosts and drivers were very friendly and helpful. Would use Viator again.
Reviewed by: MARC M, August 2014
Beatrice our guide was great! Marco the driver was professional! Great trip!
Reviewed by: Michael L, July 2014
Great trip, many unexpected surprises! Could have skipped Naples. Loved the hotel in Sorrento, great meal and views. Marco our tour guide in Sorrento/Capri was the best. Very well informed and great sense of humor. Would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Italy.
Reviewed by: BeeCuz1, July 2014
This tour was fascinating and FULL of history. There was not quite enough time to linger in Pompeii to dream of days long ago but this was a MUST, MUST, MUST see attraction. The trip to the Island of Capri was breathtaking and so worth the trip. The Grotto trip was a very long 2 hour nauseating wait in a rolling sea for our turn to enter the cave. The sight was well worth seeing in the end. The people were very friendly and spoke English well. Our guide was very knowledgeable indeed.
Reviewed by: Ross W, July 2014
We Have recommended this tour to everybody. The Pompeii ruins were fantastic. Marco who took us to Capri and the Blue Grotto was brilliant. He gave us lots of information, knew the area very well and had us all laughing.The accommodation at the Royal was 6 star in our view and certainly worth the upgrade.Our only disappointment was we didnt do a longer tour with you. Thank you so much.wonderful memories.
Reviewed by: S V, July 2014
Great tour and well organized.
Sorrento and Capri were definitely the highlights.
- to skip Naples as the walking tour was quite fast and not so valuable
- reach Sorrento earlier if possible and perhaps arrange an evening tour to Positano
- dual language made commentary made it longer than required
Reviewed by: Roger W, June 2014
Naples could have been skipped completely as we didn't have enough time to do more than walk past the highlighted buildings without going into any of them. Pompeii was very interesting especially since we had been there on our own 9 years ago. Seeing Pompeii with a tour guide was very informative. Less time could have been spent in Pompeii and more time in Sorrento. Sorento and Capri were the definite highlights of the tour. All included meals were fantastic and our hotel room in Sorrento was excellent with a fantastic view of the harbor from the balcony in our room. Our tour guide Marco in Sorrento and Capri was very entertaining, knowledgable and organized and kept everyone together and moving as a group. Nobody was left behind at any time. I definitely would go on any other tour with Marco as the guide. The only down side of the tour was that it was a dual language tour which seemed to make all descriptions and instructions seem to take a lot longer. Our final tour guide, Christian, on the part from Capri back to Rome seemed too quiet and unsure of himself but he got us back to Rome without any problems.

BBC article sparked by Google's recent aquavit ion of Nest:
BBC News - Nest acquisition: Where next for 'new' Google?
Google is Skynet. I've been saying it for ages and my tin-hat theories are a bit of a joke in the office but I'm starting to think I might be right. Google has wormed their way into our lives so thoroughly that if they disappeared tomorrow we'd stumble quite noticably - first they dominated the search engine arena, then they got in on the free email bandwagon - almost everyone has a Google account of some kind, then they got their hooks into the mobile phone market and almost every household has an Android device of some kind (unless they are Apple Slaves ofc), then they started working on robots with military applications and now they are starting to control our home environments - I am telling you - SKYNET.:tinfoil3::behindsofa: :laser::peep:
There's countless other search engines, Bing and DuckDuckGo spring immediately to mind (though maybe not as precise or broad as Google, they certainly work). There are also hundreds of other e-mail providers (as much as gmail, or in my case, googlemail, it taken to be more professional than hotmail/aol/etc) so shifting wouldn't be too bad - the bother would be with updating account details for everything.
Though, the internet would definitely cry at the death of YouTube but honestly, we could probably do with less cat videos.

People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
MrKZizzle: Do you like the fact that the CZ line went to polymer? I really like the CZ
75 line of pistols but would certianly look at the new polymer frames.
Thanks for posting ..
NOEL RANKIN: Are the frame rails replaceable like on an M&P or FN FNX?
King Conquer: still no 2nd video sootch!
JayzBeerz: This is my next purchase.
pdx650: Sweet-looking poly service pistol. Nice review, too.
NOEL RANKIN: What an awesome review! Exactly what I was looking for. I want a FDE frame version at my favorite gun store. Im getting it now. Thank you
Tingtong Mahk: Nice vid Sootch. Thank you.
xjoseywales: I've been looking at a CZ for a while now. I was pretty set on an SP-01 (steel version) but the P09 piqued my interest. The only thing that has me put off is they are available so cheaply. Generally I see them less than a regular plain jane steel CZ 75. Are there any issues with these guns?, why are they so affordable?
mulumba: Can somone contact me via Facebook Joe Arnott Using my sons account and link me to the cheapest one of these
danneo65: springfield xdm 9mm holds 19+1
Jordan Munir: I like the price, but my next purchase has got to be a Beretta M9 or 92fs. I put it off too long already. Nice weapon though.
Nate wahl: Did you ever make a video on installing the manual and the deroosterer?
kaaajeee: for a CZ this is really ugly :(
LongRange Bob: How readily available are additional magazines?
Kevin Castleberry: Sig Sauer 1911, any model, .45acp. Everyone that had shot this falls in love. Including LEOs that carry Glocks gen 1-3 chambered in .40. By the way, why do our special forces carry Sig P226-229. That's why. Mud, blood and crud, they'll shoot through hell and back. Just my .2 cents, if you can afford Sig pistols or rifles, you will always be shooting under any conditions.
Lawrence Glazer: I have a Jericho RPSL which is said is a copy of a CZ. Great gun but it took me quite awhile to get to disassemble it. But as a novice it took practice and I do it easily now. Wish it had a recoil spring like the CZ P09.
John Mccray: Need that second video on the safety conversion! Thanks for the review.
kevink400: Sootch, how does the grip size of this pistol with the smallest back strap compare with the smallest back strap on a M&P 9?
Doug Layton: Love this pistol - looks great, feels great, SHOOTS great!
rickrnash: plus p rated?
Angel Torres: I got one this past week, lucky to found one at a good deal. Shot 100 rds. with no problems. and quick too. With the magazine fully loaded doesn't feel heavy either. I like the de-roosterer and the serrations easy to grab and slide.
Al Codie: 19+1 ! Nice but it don't matter to me because up here in the great white north we are only aloud 10 rounds in our pistols . Good vid ,I like your channel .
blaster mitch: Sootch, you're videos are awesome. You keep it simple and to the point. No B.S. Keep up the good work!
Joe Romero: Great Video! thank you!
CriticalDynamics STG: CZ P09 Mags work and function in the S&W M&P 9 full-size, but not vice-versa. I now carry 19 round mags with my M&P from CZ. They function flawlessly....
scott6154: Actually the Springfield Armory XDM full size 9mm is also 19+1.
Jason Loewe: I got a cz p07 duty a little while ago only because i live in Comi Colorado so we are restricted to 15 rounds. Just found out my friend wanted to sell my his his p09 duty with 6 19 round magazines. Now I can finally have big magazines for my p07 as well. Take that society =P
Dennis Velez: The Springfield xdm 3.8 9mm also holds 19+1.
John Milewski: Where did you get the bench block? I need one. Johnlm
Tim Orlando: I love your reviews the way you show every aspect of these guns thus will probably be my next cz I'd like a 97bd but I'm just a huge fan of high capacity that having a 19+1 is too hard to say no too keep up the good work!
Loquaciousgamer: I was considering getting the beretta A-1 again, but with two extra rounds and poly frame I want this pistol. Good job Sootch! I always enjoy your reviews.
MrNeedsdecaf: Does the extra safety lever come with the gun?
NakedSteak: Nice review, but I believe that CZ P 07 is called Duty, while in this review you have P 09 which is called Guardian Angel.
nogpoctok90x: +sootch00 Those blocks on the inside of the rail that you have pointer out, are they metal or polymere? Great Vid!!! I have been conteplating between the P09 and sig p250 full size 9mm. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Jdmlsturbo: Fn57 20+1 rds
rjhengartner: Just bought this gun and like most stock cz's You need to run a few hundred rounds before the trigger smooth out...Overall it is a awesome handgun!!! A CZ won't fail you.
KC Jayhawk: pretty bad ass, great that the .40 holds 16+1 !
0346GT: If you could on choose between SP-01 or P09?
metzgerf: In my opinion, the fact that it can hold more rounds isn't worth the fact that it's so much uglier than the P-07.
Иван Иванович: Брутальный дизайн. Интересно, как он лежит в руке и как лягается при выстреле?
mutedpker3: best handgun for homedefence? i even think its interisting for law enforcment
Tony Arellano: The Xdm also carries 19+1
TactiKoolStuff: Are you the only Young Gun left or something? The freak happened?
mitsubishidiamante: that gun look sexy
scottfumc: hee hee, he said doody...
Mostly humble 1: My xdm compact 9mm holds 19 plus 1. Every damn time I load it it holds the same damn amount. 19 in the mag and 1 in the chamber.
n300zx931: I do like this gun a lot. My xdm probably wins with overall safety in a carry pistol. It also has the same mag capacity.
skru2b: Good question and I do not know the answer. If one wants to carry a pistol in roostered-and-locked state then the safety is a necessity. The deroosterer is a more convenient way to lower the hammer on a live round without discharging it. If you have a striker fired gun the deroosterer is meaningless, as is the case with double-action-only guns. My best bet is that it is mostly a design feature decided by the manufacturer and you either like it or not.
jayclames: Sootch, I'm a lefty. Can u switch the mag release? Thx
Han Sebi: 20???!!!

Company says Sask. miners safe after hours trapped underground by fire
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Tuesday, January 29, 2013 7:45AM EST
Last Updated Tuesday, January 29, 2013 10:14AM EST
More than 300 miners who were trapped underground at a Saskatchewan mining site after a fire broke out are safe and above ground this morning.
A fire at Mosaic's K2 potash mine near Esterhazy, Sask. started Monday morning, sending 318 miners to underground refuge stations where they waited for hours as emergency crews put out the blaze and the heavy smoke cleared.
The fire broke out at 10:35 a.m. and it took more than six hours for evacuation efforts to begin.
A spokesperson for Mosaic told CTVNews.ca on Tuesday that the rescue efforts wrapped up around midnight and no injuries have been reported.
"We are currently working to investigate the potential cause," said Brad DeLorey, adding that a piece of mobile mining equipment is believed to be the source of the blaze.
DeLorey said operations at the mining site are expected to resume Tuesday afternoon.
The last underground fire that forced an evacuation at the Esterhazy mine occurred in 2006.

The 12-member Congressional "Super Committee" charged with cutting $1.5 trillion from the federal budget over the next decade has been announced. An analysis by NTUF shows just how different their views are on spending programs. An examination of NTUF's BillTally data for each of the 12 panel members highlights individual legislative agendas whose impact on the budget would vary widely, from an annual cut in federal expenditures of just over $85 billion to a yearly increase of more than $1.15 trillion.
Among NTUF's findings is that Super Committee appointees sponsored or cosponsored 18 non-overlapping bills whose gross savings (not accounting for any spending-increase bills they supported) added up to $89.6 billion a year. None of these 18 pieces of legislation have bipartisan support among the Super Committee Members, but three of those proposals have been introduced in both chambers and have the backing of GOP Senators and Representatives on the panel. The savings of these three "common bills" are estimated at $41.3 billion total.
You can read the full release here.
For more information on the National Taxpayers Union Foundation or the BillTally Project, check out our website and methodology.
The Bill: H.R. 676, Expanded & Improved Medicare For All Act
Annualized Cost: $1.157 trillion (first-year cost)
Congressman John Conyers (MI-14) has introduced H.R. 676 to expand health care coverage to all US residents and to move the U.S. to a single-payer health system. Under H.R. 676, Medicare would become the country's only major insurance coverage provider. Patients would be allowed to choose which doctors and institutions to seek medical care from as long as those providers choose to participate in the program. The government would also create an electronic patient record system as well as a new board to ensure quality and access.
The bill would prohibit private for-profit insurance companies from selling health insurance plans that are deemed medically necessary. Medically necessary activities include doctor visits, surgeries,
preventative and nutritional therapies, prescription drug purchases, and
treatments associated with dental and vision care. However, private insurers would be allowed to sell plans for services like cosmetic surgery. Non-profit health plans -- such as HMOs -- would continue to be permitted to operate.
The program would be financed by increasing income taxes on the top 5% of earners and imposing new taxes on unearned income, stock and bond transactions, and by redirecting existing federal and state government health care funding. The Fund would effectively defund the current public health care programs of Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
Using the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid's 2012 projections of national health care expenditures, NTUF updated Single Payer Now's 2009 cost estimate for enacting H.R. 676. Total health spending is forecast to reach $2.82 trillion in 2012, with federal and state government's spending $1.28 trillion (under current laws). Sponsors of H.R. 676 claim their program will achieve $387 billion in savings through administrative consolidation and bulk purchases of prescription drugs and medical equipment. The remaining amount of what would otherwise be private health care spending ($1.16 trillion), would become federal outlays under this single-payer program.
One member of the "Super Committee," Congressman Xavier Bacerra (CA-31), has cosponsored the Expanded & Improved Medicare For All Act.
To learn more or discuss this bill visit WashingtonWatch.com.
The Bill: H.R. 1782, a bill to implement the recommendations of the report of the Government Accountability Office entitled "Opportunities to Reduce Potential Duplication in Government Programs, Save Tax Dollars, and Enhance Revenue"/S. 945, a bill to save at least $5,000,000,000 by consolidating some duplicative and overlapping Government programs
Annualized Savings: -$5 billion (first-year savings)
In March of this year, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report detailing duplicative government programs. The report outlined at least $100 billion in savings that would result from streamlining the programs outlined. Congressman Thaddeus McCotter (MI-11) and Senator Tom Coburn (OK) have introduced legislation to implement some of GAO's recommendations. The bills do not specify what programs to consolidate or repeal, only that $5 billion must be saved.
The Bill: H.R. 59, Sunset All Czars Act
Annualized Cost: "No Cost" - Regulation
Number of Cosponsors: 54 Congressmen
High-level policy advisors who focus on a particular issue are sometimes called czars. The first such appointment occurred during President Franklin Roosevelt's administration, and every President -- except for John Kennedy -- has had one or more policy czars. Czars are typically used to address specific issues ranging from auto sector recovery to drug enforcement to even bird flu. President George W. Bush appointed the most czars at 49. Currently, President Obama has appointed 41 czars to address similar issues.
Congressman Steve Scalise (LA-1) introduced the Sunset All Czars Act to prohibit the Executive Office of the President from paying any salaries and/or expenses associated with the advisors. The measure is regulatory in nature because it limits what government officials can do but does not rescind any public dollars currently available to the Executive Office.
Cosponsors include 54 Congressmen, all of whom are Republicans.

The Bill: H.R. 2110, Long Island Sound Improvement Act Amendments of 2011
Annualized Cost: $225 million ($1.126 billion over five years)
H.R. 2110 would reauthorize $40 million for Long Island Sound pollution control programs and create a new yearly $225 million program to examine the impact of climate change on the Sound. The bill, sponsored by Congressman Timothy Bishop (NY-1), would require the federal government to study the impact of rising sea levels on water quality, habitat, and infrastructure. The legislation would also identify possible solutions. H.R. 2110 would also establish a pilot project to demonstrate the efficiency of extracting nutrients -- nitrogen and phosphorous -- from the Sound.
The passage of H.R. 2110 would result in a $225 million average annual spending increase for taxpayers for the new program. The government currently spends $40 million per year on other authorized pollution control activities in the Long Island Sound, including providing technical assistance and coordinating the cleanup operations of various agencies.

Introduction to Cryptography with Coding Theory
Posted February 16, 2008
Excellent Book
I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone who either is taking a course in cryptography in school or wants to learn about it. It is a very well written book which clarifies a lot of basic concepts. I bought it as it was recommended by my professor in school and managed to get an A in the course. It is a good book and I think it helped me come back after a lecture and find all the matter that I needed. Good reference material.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

digital cash and quantum cryptography
Trappe and Washington give us a very up to date education in cryptography, circa 2005. The discourse is for a sophisticated maths student who, however, need never have encountered cryptography before. The level of mathematical treatment is good and rigourous. With theorems stated and proved at a level that should satisfy even a picky mathematician. The recent nature of the book is reflected in several places. Notably where it explains the Advanced Encryption Standard, or Rijndael. This is significant because it is endorsed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology as the replacement for DES, in such contexts as electronic commerce. (DES is also covered by the book.) Interestingly, the authors offer a short chapter on digital cash. A fascinating look at a possible future direction of a (physically) cashless society. Other texts on cryptography rarely cover the topic, so it's good to see it here. Yes, the first implementations of digital cash largely died in the dot com crash. But the idea lives on, and may yet take fruit. It has solid intellectual foundations, as shown by the book. Then there is an even more speculative chapter on quantum cryptography. Radically different from the symmetric and public key cryptosystems described in the rest of the book. Who knows how quantum cryptography will turn out? Some very hard physical problems need to be solved.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Property owners with plans to build homes on a troublesome Roxborough lot could receive their zoning approval next week.
Andrew Mulson is scheduled to appear before the Philadelphia Zoning Adjustment Board April 17 for his property at 535 DuPont St.
In October, the Central Roxborough Civic Association , three-story, single-family dwellings.
Civic President Ed Hothman said Tuesday the group maintained support for the project.
"CRCA is OK with the project, as were the neighbors... The parking lot was a hangout for drinking and drugs, according to the neighbors," he said in an email.
The project requires zoning approval, as it redraws lot lines for the four properties. According to city documents, the homes will not exeed a height of 35 feet, won't possess cellars or basement, and will also include garage parking for one vehicle.
"The lot has been a nuisance for a long time," Patch. "This development would pretty much eliminate the problem."
Neighbors supported the proposal but wanted greenery to be included.
Mulson said in October that the homes would have small side yards and backyards. Additionally, he assured neighbors the new construction would fit in with the residential character of twin and row homes.
The zoning hearing is set for 9:30 a.m. April 17 on the 18th floor of 1515 Arch St.

Rare 1865 baseball card sells for $80,000
A 19th century baseball card has a new home after selling for $80,000 at auction in Biddeford on Wednesday night.
The 148-year-old baseball card went to a Jason LeBlanc, of Massachusetts, who said it was an investment for his son with special needs. The widower hopes to sell it for a bigger price when his son is older.
Troy Thibodeau, manager and auctioneer at Saco River Auction Co. in Biddeford, said the card depicting the Brooklyn Atlantics amateur baseball club drew plenty of interest Wednesday night. It starting with an opening bid of $10,000.
The card isn't the same as a modern-day baseball card, which became common in the 1880s. Rather, it's an original photograph from 1865 mounted on a card, showing nine players and a manager.
The Library of Congress has a similar baseball card of the team, but with a different photo.
The auction house said a man found the card inside an old photo album he bought while antique picking in the town of Baileyville in Washington County.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
"If I want to be a shoe brand and not so niche, I need to embrace the simple shoe," Nicholas Kirkwood said between sales appointments at his showroom in the Marais. "My focus is on making a part of the collection for everyday." His face betrayed a slight worry. After all, Kirkwood has amassed a relatively small but fiercely loyal and possessive following—a group that doesn't want to hear that their creative genius is bowing to practical concerns. So it's with a touch of hesitation that Britain's favorite cobbler son is expanding his oeuvre of fantastical, killer shoes.
What's new in the house of Kirkwood? First, the divisive low heel. "I've never done a normal kitten heel," he explained. "I thought, let's just make it look kind of awkward, but it's actually done quite well." Kirkwood's sling-back versions are raised up on platforms to give a kittenish look with a bit more height. There's some straightforward sexiness in a black patent sling-back or a slightly asymmetrical snake d'Orsay pump. But what could be the perfect everyday option for the Kirkwood girl when she's flying under the radar are the very chic and sportif d'Orsay buckled sandal boots in plain tobacco or black leather and a stacked leather sole. Look out for the distinguishing Kirkwood mark: a tiny sliver of pale gray just above the heel cap.
Worry not, though, Kirkwood-klatch. There are still shoes upon which to feast your eyes. What caught ours: the naughty-nice (OK, more naughty) high platform satin sling-backs and pumps covered in digital prints by designer Hermione de Paula. There's also more Kirkwood to be had through his new work for Italian house Pollini, which he managed to get on a few runways this season, including Preen, Louise Gray, Meadham Kirchhoff, and Manish Arora. "It's nice to have that, to make Pollini relevant," he said. "My job is to make them cool and to get them into stores."

"No bended knee for me" - the Charge against Robert Beecher
By Gary Hunt Sunday, August 31, 2014
The charge against Robert Beecher is not based upon the malicious allegations made by FBI Special Agent Stanley H. Slater that Robert Beecher was involved in an operation, known as "Operation Mutual Aid", to kidnap and torture a DHS agent. In fact, it seems that the threat implied by Agent Slater has, well, just disappeared. The only charge is "Felon in Possession of a Firearm".Judge Richard Posner is Wrong on Marriage

I saved my wet iPhone 4!
I dropped my brand new iPhone 4 in, well, lets decide to call it "water". It got totally soaked, but I saved it! Here is what I did:
1) I took it out of the "water"
2) I turned it completely off
3) I thoroughly rinsed it in the sink (this step was necessary for me, but may not be for others)
4) I removed the SIM card and dried everything off as bet I could
5) I got my vacuum cleaner and hooked up the attachment with the smallest nozzle
6) I placed the vacuum attachment at the bottom of my iPhone (where the connector is) and sucked air though it for 20 minutes. At the same time, I stood about 3 or 4 feet away blowing warm air over my iPhone with a hair dryer (I set my hair dryer to the lowest heat setting)
7) Then I submerged my iPhone in a bowl of uncooked rice
8) 4 or 5 times over the next 24 hours I repeated the vacuum procedure
9) I left the iPhone in the rice overnight
10) In the morning I put the SIM card back in, powered it up, and viola! It works!
And here is the best part. The MasterCard I used to buy the iPhone comes with purchase insurance. I told them what happened, and they are refunding the $299 I paid! Of course, that really just covers my loss of the residual value of the phone. I would of been able to get about $300 for it when the new ones come out again. Still, I could of been much worse.
By the way, most people are not aware that their credit cards have purchase insurance. You usually do not have to pay extra for it. If you suffer a loss, it never hurts to call your credit card company and ask.

I get the refund no matter what. I can keep using my current phone, and have nothing to sell when the new ones come out again, or I can but a new one now, and resell it for about what I paid when the new ones come out.
Although the phone still works, it no longer has a warranty, or a demonstrable resale value, other than for parts or scrap, so I have still suffered a loss.
|Jul 7, 2010, 10:16 PM
Good for you. I dropped my in a slow draining sink Monday. Tried drying it out using rice and an oven set to 45C. Two days and no luck. Called Apple and they'd replace it for $199. That's ~$50 more than one of these online repair places. In 20 minutes at the Apple store, I had a brand new 32gb iPhone 4. They don't have refurbished units yet.

went swimming with iPhone 3G
Went swimming for 15-20 minutes with my fully-charged iPhone 3G. Read a bunch of posts about how to deal with it--bought a bag of uncooked rice, a can of compressed air, and Damprid. Took out the sim card and resisted the temptation to turn it on for a while because of the short-circuiting danger. After trying damprid in a bowl for a couple of hours or so (which actually made the phone WETTER because instead of absorbing the water, the damprid seems to just gather it and bring it nearby). Nothing worked for several days. Finally I dipped it in 91% rubbing alchohol (which seemed counterintuitive, but at that point I was willing to try anything) for a minute or so, then put it in a new bag of uncooked rice in a sunny spot for about 2 days, just plugged it in and it works!
Sob story: in the interim I went out and upgraded to a 3GS because they were out of the Iphone4, but now I want to return the 3GS and restore the formerly wet one so I can wait until they get it in stock! Any tips on that???

So, some of you have NO trouble with getting paid back for a phone that is working? I think that is WRONG to do that, but then what I think dont count, but there is someone who will judge you on that! Enjoy the shakedown of your credit card Company! Glad I dont know you, dont need friends like that!

I put one of those shields that require you spray the surface with water, now the camera lens is foggy and the iphone freezes and the touch screen doesn't respond properly.
NOTE I was being really careful not to let water in the open parts (headphone jack, buttons and mic/speaker), guess not careful enough.
I'll let it dry for a few hours see if that helps.

Outdoor dining is something Americans don't avail themselves of nearly enough. Somehow food just tastes better when it's accompanied by the sun shining down and a slow, cool breeze that makes you want to linger over your meal and savor every bit of the experience. This is something they know about at Bar Italia, which features a large, outdoor space for dining, lingering over a cappuccino, or just watching the world go by. As good as the ambiance is, the food at Bar Italia is even better, with terrific pasta creations (the tortellini is a specialty), fish, and an incredible array of desserts. And don't overlook that wine list.

Helen Thomas Praises the Clintons, Smears Reagan and Dubya
Tim Russert invited on longtime White House correspondent Helen Thomas on his CNBC show over the weekend to promote her new book but Thomas used the hour to praise the Clintons and smear Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. The former UPI correspondent slammed Reagan declaring, "I think that the poor did not prosper under him at all," and charged the press was too soft on George W. Bush demanding that they should've asked the hard question: "How can you justify killing thousands of people to get one man? Who are we to depose anyone?'" But when it came to the Clinton administration, Thomas thought the press was too hard on the Clintons saying Whitewater amounted to "nothing," and pouted: "the Clintons suffered a lot."
The interview was wide-ranging as Russert asked Thomas to comment on all the presidents she's covered dating back to John F. Kennedy. Below are just some of the low-lights as they occurred on the June 9th edition of the CNBC Tim Russert show:
On whether her personal biases affected her reporting:
Tim Russert: "You started with a, as, as a reporter with United Press International, UPI, a wire service reporter."
Helen Thomas: "Right."
Russert: "Is it really who, what, when, where, why?"
Thomas: "Always. And we really wrote straight news. Nobody believes I could, but I did. And later, I became a columnist for Hearst newspapers, and where I could slant the story, bias, express myself and so forth. And it was a tough transition, even though I, I you know, everybody said I had an opinion on everything that's ever, ever moved. I still found it difficult after disciplining myself to really write straight fact news, factual news, and but I did it."
Russert: "In fact, those who know you say, quote, 'I was born with an opinion,' says Helen Thomas."
Thomas: "Something like that. I think so. Mostly, mostly opinion against injustice and discrimination against gender, color and so forth."
Russert: "How were you able to keep the opinion that you held very deeply out of the copy that you wrote for UPI?"
Thomas: "Well, when my boss first, when I, oh, for UPI, it was easy because I knew what the ground rules were and I knew that my opinion didn't matter, that what mattered was for people to get a straight story. And I still think that's the best way they get it. Even though I write an opinion column, I believe that it's better if they get the factual news on the front page."
Russert: "And then, in your opinion column now, you let it rip."
Thomas: "Yes"
Russert: "Well, let's go back to your-"
Thomas: "And it's meaningless."
On Ronald Reagan:
Russert: "Tell me, tell me about Ronald Reagan. What was it like to cover Ronald Reagan?"
Thomas: "Well, it was interesting. I mean, he was very, very likable and yet it was very impersonal. He definitely had an agenda, and was a social Darwinist. 'If you can't make it, tough.' Was, you know, survival of the fittest, this is the whole approach. He appointed people at the head of his, of departments and agencies who were against the premise of the agency. With Gorsuch of the APA, Watts of, to Interior, who wanted to sell all of the Western lands to privatize and so forth. So the whole thing is that he really did think that government was the problem and not the solution, which he said to the very end. At the same time, he, I think, he obviously was well liked, and I think that the poor did not prosper under him at all. And I remember, I think Nancy Reagan had a lot to do with turning him around in terms of going to Moscow, meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev, going to the summits. She urged him to go after Maggie Thatcher said you can do business with Gorbachev. And when we got there, President Reagan noticed that the Russians laughed and they cried and they were human, they were not bears who walked like men, I mean the whole idea, had never been to Russia before and so forth. There, so I said to him when we came back, I said, 'Mr. President, do you think maybe if you had gone to Moscow 10 years ago, 20 years ago, you might have found out the Russians are very human, they laugh, they cry, they,' he said, 'Nope, they've changed.' So see."
On the Clintons:
Russert: "And we're back. A walk through history with Helen Thomas, the dean of White House reporters. Her book is now in paperback, Watchdogs of Democracy? Bill Clinton came into town, 1992, with Hillary Clinton, the First Lady, Al Gore the Vice President. What was the demeanor, the, the time, the feel of the White House press corps in January of '93?"
Thomas: "Well, I think there was a lot of excitement. But I think the Clintons had suffered a lot on the campaign trail and they had a lot of chips on their shoulders about the press. So I think there was a lot of excitement, but I think that the President and Mrs. Clinton didn't feel that the press was exactly with them."
Russert: "Hillary Clinton was the First Lady of the United States for eight years. Now she's a presidential candidate. What was she like as First Lady?"
Thomas: "Well, I think that she was, thought, I don't think she really got a total handle on the job of the power that she could have as First Lady. I think she had higher ambitions. I think she makes a much better senator, she's a terrific senator, and, and a candidate for, for the presidency."
Russert: "You are not surprised that she's running for President?"
Thomas: "No. I think that's been her ambition for a long time. And I think [the] time is right for a woman."
Russert: "Tell me about the press coverage of the Clinton administration, of Whitewater, Monica Lewinsky. Looking back now, what's your, what are your reflections?"
Thomas: "My impression is this man, President Clinton, did know, did not know one second and I didn't say a minute in the White House when he was not being investigated by the right wing. And he should have had street smarts to know that he was on target. And that was so incredible that he didn't realize, you know, you don't play into their hands. So everything was under investigation constantly. They never, I don't know how they stood it. The resilience of that family."
Russert: "Do you think the press corps did a good job in, in as part of those investigations in covering that story?"
Thomas: "No, I think we should have been much more intuitive of what was behind and so forth. Whitewater turned out to be really nothing in terms of a special, according to special prosecutor and so forth. No, I think, well, you never do a good job, really, because you're not a prosecutor, you can't get all the facts. There's so much secrecy and so forth. But I think that the Clintons suffered a lot."
On George W. Bush:
Russert: "And we're back talking to Helen Thomas. Why did you say that President Bush is the worst president in history?"
Thomas: "Well, at that time, I could see that we were going into a war, an unprovoked war, a pre-emptive war with Iraq, and I was very upset with that because I thought it was the wrong move. And just all of, you know, the lack of understanding about what was really going on in the Middle East and everywhere else. I just, I probably should have said there's still room for improvement and so forth, and I, and I didn't realize I was being reported. But I know it's tough to be President. It's the worst, probably toughest job in the world. But at the same time, it's the top of the mark. And when you get there, you should only do the right thing."
Russert: "How about when you said that you would kill yourself if Cheney ever became president?"
Thomas: "Again, that was an off-the, a remark in the, in the, in the press room, you never expect your colleagues to report it. I mean, you, there are certain understandings, you thought. Well, I think that he's not been a good influence on our country."
Russert: "You wrote the president a letter of apology."
Thomas: "Yes. I really do feel that I should have, I was off limits [on] a lot of things. I should be careful."
Russert: "In your book, in the hardcover, you were critical of the press in terms of the lead up to the war. But in the paperback edition you have a new afterward where you say that you think the press, the White House press corps has found, has regained its footing and its aggressiveness."
Thomas: "Yeah, I think they've come out of their coma. I think they were asleep at the wheel. The run-up to the war, it was so clear that the President was going to war and no one was asking him why. They accepted it. They wanted to be, you know, gung ho and be great foreign correspondents. It was supposed to be a cake walk, four days. They didn't, and they didn't have the Vietnam experience or whatever. History could tell you that this is, is still wrong."
Russert: "Dana Milbank, who was a White House correspondent for the Post, wrote a review of your book and he said, 'Helen, we asked the tough questions leading up to the war.'"
Thomas: "No, they didn't. You look at the transcripts, they were not tough. You should, the big question was, 'Why? How can you justify killing thousands of people to get one man?' Who are we to depose anyone? Really. I mean, we ought to take care of our own country. I mean, we do have a United Nations. I do believe in collective security. I do think the UN has a role in Darfur, and all the areas that are erupting. But it should be through collective security."
Russert: "What about the notion of pre-emptive war?"
Thomas: "That's wrong."
Russert: "You've also challenged the president on his policy in the Middle East. Do you believe that your background as Lebanese, or your parents from the Middle East, has influenced your thinking?"
Thomas: "Of course. I mean, how would I now know as much as I do know about the Middle East, and how would by that interested? But that doesn't mean I'm unfair. I do think it's wrong to take somebody else's land and displace them."
Russert: "What happens when you ask these kinds of questions? Do you, do you feel any kind of pressure from your colleagues, or do they encourage you?"
Thomas: "Oh, they don't encourage me. Far from it. They, I, according to some of my detractors, my e-mail, they raise their eyebrows or shake their heads or whatever. I don't know. It doesn't matter. As long as I have the privilege to ask the question, I try to do it as, you know, two, straight line between two points and let the chips fall."
Russert: "But as a columnist, you feel that you can, in fact, include opinion in your question?"
Thomas: "No. It isn't the course, I don't think, I don't ask questions any differently now than I asked before. I really have always tried to put a tough question to a president. You have one chance in the barrel and you should try to make it good. And I think that though, that the American people depend on us. We're the only institution in our society that can ask the president a question on a regular basis, and hold him accountable."

"This was wonderful and so simple. The extra cooking time really turns the tomatoes from acidic to sweet. Lovely sauce, thank you!"
"Wonderfully soft and great subtle coconut flavor. Love the texture from the coconut too. Thank you!"
"This was a great combo of flavors. I loved the addition of the bread crumbs - something I don't usually add. I did add some more garlic. Next time I might sear the broccoli a bit more to get it more roasted and flavorful. Thanks!"
"delicious - definitely highlights the kahlua. Tastes a bit like a black russian with a kick or carbonation. This is a strong one!"
"Yum! This was so cheesy and saucy - not dry at all which can sometimes happen with baking. I halved the recipe and also added tomatoes on top. Next time I might increase the breadcrumbs but otherwise perfect!"
"Delicious! I used a veggie sausage and added sliced onions on top. Perfect with the coleslaw. For the slaw, I found I only needed to use half the dressing to make it the right consistency. Will be doing this combo again!"
"Super easy biscuit recipe. Great with soup or spread with jam and butter."
"This was nice and refreshing on a hot day! Good change of pace however, i still love the root beer best."
"this was very chocolaty and very easy! I used milk instead of water. Next time I might decrease the sugar. Enough for 2 to share!"
"I loved the idea and combination here but found mine to turn out a bit dry with a hard crust. Could have easily been the Denver altitude though!"

In Asia, the Risks of Multilateralism
Aberg & Novak, The Diplomat
The Associated Press
There is little doubt that U.S. alliances in Asia are in a state of flux. The decades of Washington poking and prodding allies to contribute more to regional peace and the maintenance of regional order appear, at least in recent years, to finally be paying off. Japan, considered by many pundits a free-riding pariah for decades, in particular seems to be taking what many in U.S. defense and security circles consider the right course: boosting military spending and seeking substantive and substantial capabilities improvements.
TAGGED: Asia, Multilateralism

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Cadillac CTS
By KBB.com Editors
When GM set out in the late 1990s to resurrect its once-proud Cadillac brand, the public process began with Evoq, the 1999 stealth-fighter concept sports car that eventually evolved into the production 2004 XLR. But the 2003 all-new "entry luxury" CTS sedan brought this new Cadillac look and personality to market first. Its "Art and Science" theme was a bold blend of space-age style and technology, and its edgy styling was polarizing -- some liked it, some didn't. But it delivered the right stuff in performance, features and road dynamics, while only its austere interior caught critical flack. Now comes this new 2008 BMW-fighter CTS, significantly improved in every way and fully competitive inside and out.
Cadillac was once the "Standard of the World," which was more than an advertising slogan. The competition is much deeper, wider and stronger today, but if you would like an unassailable reason to own, enjoy and be proud of a Cadillac again, this is it.
If nothing short of an import luxury brand will do, there are many fine alternatives from the likes of BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, Lexus and Infiniti.
The styling of the Cadillac CTS is both boldened and softened for 2008, with a more aggressive face and more rounded shapes between the edges, while its beautifully crafted new interior transforms the previous car's weakness into a major strength. An available new direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 delivers 304 horsepower with no loss in efficiency.
Driving Impressions Our extensive 2008 CTS driving experience began on a California race track and extended through many twisty two-lanes, fast freeways, urban congestion and mixed-speed suburban sprawl, most of it in...a performance-package model with the strong-performing 304-horsepower direct-injected V6. We expected the trade-off for its responsive steering, world-class road-holding and powerful braking to be an uncomfortably stiff rough-surface ride but found its suspension surprisingly supple even on the most troubled surfaces. We loved the posh, quiet cabin's cheerfully luxurious design, the multi-adjustable seats were uncommonly comfortable over the long haul and every control was easy to see, find and operate. This fine new midsize Cadillac can compete on equal terms with anything in its class.
Bose 5.1 Cabin Surround Sound
Surrealistic sound with 40-gig hard drive and iPod integration. It will download and store your CD collection and operate your iPod from the pop-up touch screen.
Advanced Navigation System
Offers real-time traffic and weather, expanded voice prompts and 3-D imaging of major landmarks. While its large center dash-top touch screen pops up fully on demand, the top portion peeks out to display key information even when stored.
The 2008 CTS debuts a dramatically different interior design theme for Cadillac, with emphasis on tasteful ornamentation and hand-crafted details. The instruments, vents and other elements are framed in chrome, the center stack blends seamlessly into the lower instrument panel and console and hand-cut, hand-sewn and hand-wrapped coverings with French stitching are used throughout. The heated and ventilated front seats use "thin-seat" technology for improved rear leg, knee and foot room. Available soft, white LED backlighting in the door-pulls, footwells and between the upper and lower instrument panels creates an effect similar to recessed lighting in contemporary homes.Exterior
The new look of the 2008 Cadillac CTS is characterized by a bold two-segment grille, chrome side air extractors and sculpted fenders emphasizing its wider tracks and more athletic chassis. Flanking the lower grille, below the vertical headlamps, are chromed wrap-around slots for additional air intakes and fog lamps. The fast-sloping roofline is nearly coupe-like in profile, the large vertical taillamps refine Cadillac's recent practice, the trunk-top center brake light doubles as an aerodynamic spoiler and an available double sunroof offers an open-sky view for both front and rear passengers.
The base 2008 CTS is powered by a 258-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 driving through a six-speed manual transmission and rolls on all-season tires on 17-inch aluminum wheels. Inside its cabin are dual-zone climate controls, an eight-way power driver's seat, a Driver Information Center, a rear-seat/trunk pass-through and an eight-speaker AM/FM/CD Bose audio system with XM Satellite Radio and MP3 capability. Standard safety and security equipment includes advanced front, side and side-curtain airbags, Stabilitrak stability and traction control, daytime running lamps, Twilight Sentinel auto lamps, programmable power door locks, a theft-deterrent system and one year of OnStar security and convenience service with turn-by-turn navigation.
The available "Luxury Collection" package includes upgraded seats, sound system and additional luxury features. The "Performance Collection" adds 18-inch wheels and tires, FE2 Sport Suspension and High-Intensity Discharge headlamps with adaptive forward lighting, while the "Premium Collection" offers wood trim, a 10-speaker Bose 5.1 premium audio with a 40-gig hard drive and radio rewind and pause, iPod integration, GPS navigation and EasyKey keyless entry and ignition. Major stand-alone options include the 304-horsepower direct-injection V6, six-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, Ultraview roof, Bose premium audio (with or without navigation), the FE2 Sport Suspension and FE3 Performance Suspension on high-performance "summer" tires.
The 2008 CTS offers two levels of 24-valve, double-overhead-cam, variable-valve-timing 3.6-liter V6 power, and the up-level version boasts power- and efficiency-enhancing direct fuel injection. Standard transmission is a six-speed manual, while a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive are optional.
