- Kudos to the chefbeegeeDined on 11/22/2014Our group of four included two vegans and we called a couple of days ahead to make sure the restaurant could accommodate this. They assured us that it was no problem and when we arrived for dinner we found that the chef had made special vegan meals for us that were delicious, included vegan protein and were stunningly presented.(Many restaurants will just pull the protein out of a regular menu entree when confronted with vegan diners, so this was a treat)! He also made special desserts for us that were delicious! The chef came to the table during our meal to make sure we were pleased with our meals, and the wait staff was equally solicitous throughout the meal. The non-vegan diners had wonderful meals off the menu and enjoyed their meals equally well. Altogether a great dining experience for us all!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not the best in Dallas.cjdallas2009Dined on 11/12/2014The service was terrific. the food was good but a little overpriced for the cuisine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service slowAceOneDined on 11/8/2014Our waiter was distracted. I think he was waiting on a table in another room. Service was slow. Food was fair. Not great. I recommend not ordering the Tiramasu.
- Picture PerfectCNOTE8710Dined on 11/5/2014I proposed to my girlfriend & service was more than adequate. We actually had a camera crew on hand so the service was picture perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeLuvfancythingsDined on 10/18/2014my husband and i had a great time. Food was great. Service was great. We had a really romantic night.Special Features:
- Too loud, food just okayDRinDallasVIPDined on 10/11/2014We should have known better than to go out on the Saturday night of Texas vs Oklahoma. But a nice restaurant shouldn't be a open to the lobby and very noisy lobby bar! The food was just okay. Service good (more servers than diners)! The only pleasant surprise was the wine list. We won't be back!
- OverpricedfoodNwineDined on 10/10/2014I really wanted to like it bc the waitstaff was very good, but it was incredibly pricey for average food. I have no problem paying $215 for a 2-person dinner if the food was great, but it was very underwhelming. The wild boar was tough, flavorless and tasted boiled. My crab cakes were bland. The tomahawk chop was pretty good but the accompanying potatoes and veggies were cold. The red velvet cake dessert was average and came 20 minutes after our double espressos were long gone. The ambiance was a joke. At $100 a head I don't want to see shorts and backwards caps. The threesome w/ baby placed on top of us at a table for 2 ruined our evening, as the guy ordered for himself and baby, Mac and Cheese and fries. 5 star prices? then act like it.Special Features:
- Superb service and foodLeighDined on 10/9/2014My husband had a seafood dish with a spicy lobster broth which was the special the night we had dinner there, and I had chicken and dumplings! Definitely not your grandmother's chicken and dumplings; both dishes were delicious, and the service was attentive and cosmopolitan. An excellent dinner all around although the noise from the bar was intrusive on what we hoped would be a quieter evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's was quite good.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/3/2014Main entrée was quite dry. Dessert was extremely tasty. 😁Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pretty good, but....OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/14/2014Service and quality of food was good. However, if there's a dress code, it wasn't enforced. While everybody there was dressed well, as were the waiters, a couple walked in, he was in a baseball cap, t-shirt, jeans....she wasn't much better. Quality of food was excellent, though small portions.Special Features:
- Just Not A Good ExperienceBDayBustDined on 9/14/2014Eggs Benedict were hard boils eggs on toast and a dry crab cake. For $18, I expect perfection. Host was having to Waite tables. Waiter was slow. This special birthday brunch was a bust. I don't think we will return and just look for something that can rise to the occasion.
- Great fo talk businessfbcxDined on 9/11/2014I guess I'll never get used to the meager portions now so prevalent at top flight restaurants but 3 scallops for an entree? They were great, but the meal looked more like an appetizer than an entree. On the other hand the room is lovely and frankly much easier to actually hear the people you are with than the typical steak house. Much more accommodative for talking business. I was impressed that my guest was able to find a very special and rare California Merlot that was his favorite. He had already drunk the last bottle out of the case he had purchased at the winery in Napa.Special Features:
- Excellent Friendly ServiceClintDined on 9/6/2014Impeccable Service, server new who we were and greeted us by our names. The Sea Bass was outstanding and the Flat Iron Steak was made to perfection. The three course meal was a perfect amount of food and every course was prepared with great taste and presentation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- odnelsonDined on 9/5/2014Excellent. Enjoyed the 32 oz bone in rib eye ceviche was tasty. Service was excellentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not a top tier in my bookRedDragonFlyVIPDined on 8/31/2014I've been going through a list of recommended restaurants, Although this is very highly rated I would not put it in that category. They attempted to set us in an area next to the bar, I asked for something quieter they put us in another area that was still pretty loud, when I got up I saw that there was a private large room behind us it was simply empty but ready for service,. We thought the avocado soup tasted like guacamole, reminding frankly off one I just got at Costco in a multi pack although probably better in quality; and the fish was slightly overcooked although a very good recipe. At this level of prices I don't expect the fish to be overcooked
- Pyramid roomcfosterDined on 8/30/2014We found the ambiance quite lovely, a place were you can go and carry on a conversation. The service was outstanding as well.Special Features:
- Great place!StillinloveDined on 8/30/2014Me and my sister enjoyed lunch for my birthday at this wonderful restaurant !!! We enjoyed the ambience and the light jazz in the background ! We will dine here again !!!Special Features:
- Restaurant WeeksusieQDined on 8/30/2014From the moment we walked into the lobby and found our way to the restaurant we were enchanted. Wonderful waitstaff, clean, fresh, quiet. The food was amazing. The service was excellent. We will be returning!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week LunchIslandermom40Dined on 8/30/2014My husband and I have been to Pyramid before for Christmas Brunch, but we have never been in for lunch. We were going to the Dallas Museum for day so thought we would have lunch first. This was a great choice. The restaurant was quiet and the service was excellent. My husband decided to order off the regular menu. The muffaletta sandwich he had was the best. My pork flat bread was good. The N.Y. Strip was the perfect size and well cooked. The french fires were crisp. The only disappointing thing that we had was the pecan tart for dessert. It was a little dry and tough. We will come again as we enjoyed ourselves and the service was fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceeded Expectations! Excellent!RaebotDined on 8/29/2014Service was impeccable. Came with a groupon, which they were aware of, and still treated like royalty. We had the pork belly, which was delectable! The chilled avocado soup was great; the server knew we were sharing the soup and so he brought us each our own bowl and individual garnish - a lovely long flat seeded cracker with edible flowers. I had the ostrich, medium rare, which was cooked perfectly and came with yucca purée, peach coulis, balsamic reduction, and heirloom baby rainbow carrots. Friend had the 12oz striploin w/asparagus & truffle fries. White asparagus was perfect, regular green was slightly undercooked. The steak... Was rare on one end and well on the other end. How did the kitchen manage that? It had been ordered "medium."Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ExperienceQueensDined on 8/24/2014There was free valet parking at the hotel and the waitresses were all really nice! We came for the DFW restaurant week. The food was delicious and definitely worth the price!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Mother & sonblake7081Dined on 8/21/2014I surprised my mom to a night on the town in the city and I knew The Pyramid was the perfect place to impress her. She was astounded by the setting of the restaurant. It was calm and serene, but then you add the food in the mix and VOILIA! I had the Colorado lamb chops; hands down best dish I've ever had. So juicy. So fresh. My mom had the scallops. With the expression on her face I knew I did good. She loved it, and maybe loved me a little more after the meal...I give it Five stars. Thank you!Special Features:
- Excellent!blake7081Dined on 8/18/2014The Pyramid Review was fine dining at it's best. Absolute great service while feeling comfortable in an exquisite setting. It's perfect for family, friends, or to simply impress your date. Trust me, it'll seal the deal. I'd definitely go back again to enjoy much more of their delicious cuisines! I give it Five stars!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best French ToastAnnEatsDined on 8/17/2014We caught the brunch during Restaurant Month (Week) and loved it. From the moment we stepped out of the car to a smiling, trusty valet I felt like royalty. The hostess was appreciative and gracious. Very sincere in wanting to please us, and our waiter was friendly and anticipated our needs. Our glasses and cups remained full and well, it was just an awesome dining experience. The breakfast buffet is not as extensive or varied or creative as other restaurants but again, the service won us over. For a party of two or a party of 22, we recommend the breakfast buffet at Pyramid. You'll have plenty of time to eat, talk, eat some more (and not feel rushed), and talk some more. It was special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really A1 Steak sauceSteakSauceReallyDined on 8/15/2014The steak needed A1 and obviously its the norm because they didn't even disguise it just brought the bottle to the table. I don't expect to need A1 at a five star restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not it....Dallasfoodie99Dined on 8/12/2014I'm in the biz. It's not hard to please me but hard to impress me. If I'm spending 90 bucks for lunch, I don't want my steak smothered in blue cheese butter, my watermelon barely ripe, and my desserts pulled out of a freezer. Too many flavors to hide poor quality. Maybe we should have chosen a non restaurant weekend menu. I thought the purpose of participating was to bring in new people who haven't been in before. Not skimp on production and show everyone a cheaper version of what you do. Menu looked great online, but most fakes look great on paper.
- Special lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/12/2014I had lunch at the Pyramid Room (I had wanted to go for years, but never made it downtown). The food was very good - my steak was perfectly cooked, the frites were also perfect (crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside), and the broccolini was also delicious. I was a little surprised when my iced tea came in a glass with a straw. I used the straw, as I assume they must know whether or not their glasses are clean, but it seemed very out of place to me in a fine restaurant.Special Features:

- A great restaurantsherryDined on 7/28/2014The food was delicious, attractively presented and graciously served. There were interesting menu choices in both the bar and the dining room. The servers in each area were knowledgeable, efficient and pleasant. All in all I totally enjoyed my dining experiences at the Pyramid.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always stellarDiningoutVIPDined on 7/27/2014My visit this afternoon, on relatively short notice was handled with the same care as if they had a week's knowledge of my arrival. The staff and servers are what continue to make this a premier destination for many reasons. While longevity is a rare commodity in today's society, the gracious hospitality continues to amaze me. While not as striking and beautiful as the room was in its more formal days, but its hard to imagine having a better experience anywhere. Don't hesitate to ask for whatever you might long for from any era, as they are likely able to accommodate any reasonable request, after all this is the Fairmont. For the best experience make reservations and ask for Kim or any of the long time employees.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!!!LVregDined on 7/17/2014We were surprised to find such an outstanding restuarant that we had never heard of. The menu is diverse with everything from steak to fish to ostrich. The dessert menu is simple with outstanding flavors. Cannot wait to go again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Brunch at the FairmontRawOysterDudeDined on 6/8/2014The Pyramid was perfect for meeting another couple and enjoying a wonderful brunch. The service was great and the nselection of foods from the buffet wonderful. The menu also offered some super choices. We will definitely be back! Note that it was full at 10:30 am so be sure and make reservations, even for brunch...gSpecial Features:
- Brunch at The FairmontBraveheartVIPDined on 6/8/2014It took a while to be seated and then took a while to be waited on at the Pyramid located In the Fairmont Hotel. When we finally were served food, one of the orders was completely wrong and the waiter said it would take less than three minutes to correct. Not true...it was fifteen, and by then everyone else had finished their meals This overshadowed the fact that the menu choices of crab cakes Benedict, California omelet, and Texas pecan waffles were very tasty. The waiter credited our drinks because of the error, which interestingly were two coffees and an orange juice.Special Features:
- Our anniversary dinnerLovelocal214Dined on 6/7/2014Wonderful experience dining at Pyramid. We chose this restaurant among a handful of new eateries in the city because of the herb/veg garden and support of local farmers. We love, love that the restaurant also supports the Texas Honey Bee Guild.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible experience.dfordDined on 6/3/2014Great food backed up by incredible service. I had a wonderful experience and would recommend to any and all.Special Features:
- Exceptionally grand serviceDiningoutVIPDined on 6/1/2014No matter where your spirits may be, a visit to the Pyramid is guaranteed to lift them. While the polish of the more formal venue is lost, the room still shines with the service of many longstanding employees. The always accommodating manager, Aida will ensure every wish is granted. For a special treat, I often opt for a special meal served in the former Brasserie, still prepared by the same expert Chef, and served with extra care by Kim. Its a special Texas dish not usually associated with the finer dining Pyramid, but graciously prepared and served to this day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OutstandingDiningoutVIPDined on 5/25/2014Today, I called in advance, since the holiday weekends can be questionable but the experience was excellent. For many years the Pyramid has continued a tradition that was started when there were multiple outlets in the hotel. On special request almost anything can be delivered with great results.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great, also known as Great St Barts, is an Anglican church situated at West Smithfield in the City of London, founded as an Augustinian priory in 1123, adjoining St Bartholomew's Hospital.[1]
The church possesses the most significant Norman interior in London,[2] which once formed the chancel of a much larger monastic church. It was established in 1123 by Rahere, a prebendary of St Paul's Cathedral and later an Augustinian canon regular, who is said to have erected the church in gratitude after recovering from a fever. Rahere's supposedly miraculous recovery contributed to the church becoming known for its curative powers, with sick people filling its aisles each 24 August (St Bartholomew's Day).
The church was originally part of a priory adjoining St Bartholomew's Hospital,[3] but while the hospital survived the Dissolution about half of the priory church was demolished in 1543.[4] The nave of the church was pulled down (up to the last bay) but the crossing and choir survive largely intact from the Norman and later periods and continued in use as the parish church. The entrance to the church from Smithfield now goes into the churchyard through a tiny surviving fragment of the west front, which is now surmounted by a half-timbered Tudor building. From there to the church door, a path leads along roughly where the south aisle of the nave was. Parts of the cloister also survive and are now home to a small café. Very little trace survives of the rest of the monastic buildings.
The church escaped the Great Fire of London in 1666,[5] but fell into disrepair, becoming occupied by squatters in the 18th century. It was restored and rebuilt by Aston Webb in the late 19th century.[6] During Canon Edwin Sidney Savage's tenure as Rector the church was further restored at the cost of more than £60,000.[7]
The Lady Chapel at the east end had been previously used for commercial purposes and it was there that Benjamin Franklin served a year as a journeyman printer. The north transept had formerly been used as a blacksmith's forge. The church was one of relatively few City churches to escape damage during the Second World War.
The church's name (sometimes shortened to "Great St Barts") is owed to the fact that it is one of two, nearly neighbouring, churches both linked with the hospital and priory and both dedicated to St Bartholomew. The other, inside the hospital precinct, is considerably smaller (hence its naming as St Bartholomew the Less), less architecturally distinguished and less important from a historical point of view. William Hogarth was baptised in St Bartholomew's Church in 1697. Both churches are presently reunited under the current incumbency of Martin Dudley.
The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950.[8] In April 2007 St Bartholomew the Great became the first parish church in Britain to charge an entrance fee for tourists.[9]
Oriel window[edit]
The oriel window was installed inside the church of St Bartholomew the Great in the 16th century by William Bolton, allegedly so that he could spy on the monks. The symbol in the centre panel is a crossbow "bolt" passing through a "tun" (or barrel), a rebus or pun on the name of the Prior. William Camden wrote:
"It may be doubtful whether Bolton, prior of St. Bartholomew, in Smithfield, was wiser when he invented for his name a bird-bolt through his Tun, or when he built him a house upon Harrow Hill, for fear of an inundation after a great conjunction of planets in the watery triplicity".
Other connections[edit]
St Bartholomew the Great church was the location of the fourth wedding in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) and of some scenes in various others: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Shakespeare in Love, the 1999 film version of Graham Greene's 1951 novel The End of the Affair, Amazing Grace (2006), Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007), The Other Boleyn Girl (2008), and Sherlock Holmes (2009). It was used by T-Mobile as a stand-in for Westminster Abbey in its Royal Wedding advertisement (2011).
The church also housed the chapel of the Imperial Society of Knights Bachelor before its relocation to St Paul's Cathedral in 2005.
St Bartholomew the Great is the adopted church of various livery companies and is the setting for their annual religious services: the Worshipful Company of Butchers (one of the seven oldest livery companies), the Worshipful Company of Founders (whose hall abuts the church), the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (chartered 1448 and no.8 in the order of seniority), the Worshipful Company of Fletchers, the Worshipful Company of Farriers (chartered 1674), the Worshipful Company of Farmers (chartered 1955). The recently established Worshipful Company of Information Technologists (chartered 1992), Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers (chartered 2004), and Guild of Public Relations Practitioners (established 2000) are also associated with St Bartholomew the Great Priory Church.
St Bartholomew the Great was where the memorial service for William Wallace was held on the 700th anniversary of the Scottish hero's execution.
The poet and campaigner Sir John Betjeman kept a flat opposite the church yard on Cloth Fair. The building is marked by a blue plaque and is today owned by the Landmark Trust.
A new organ was installed by John Knopple in 1715. This was superseded by a new organ in 1731 from Richard Bridge. In 1886, it was replaced by the organ from St. Stephen Walbrook which was installed by William Hill. Further modifications were made in 1931 by Henry Speechly & Son, 1957 by N.P. Mander and in 1982–83 by Peter Wells. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

Notable burials and monuments[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2012)
The ghost of a monk is said to haunt the church looking for a stolen sandal from his tomb. People have sometimes claimed to feel uncomfortable inside.
The area around the church was also the place for many executions, especially during the reign of Mary Tudor. It said that during the night there is a strong scent of burning flesh.

TDF Announces LibreOffice 3.5
The Document Foundation has announced LibreOffice 3.5, the third major release of what they call "the best free office suite ever."
LibreOffice 3.5 is the result of the combined effort of full-time and volunteer hackers, coordinated by the Engineering Steering Committee. According to the announcement, during the past 16 months, an average of 80 developers each month have provided more than 30,000 code commits and a long list of new features. LibreOffice 3.5 is the first release in which the contribution of local communities and associations, such as ALTA in Brazil, has been acknowledged.
New features include: reintroduction and improvement of online update checking, multiline input bar, improved font hinting for high-quality docs, new import filter for Microsoft Visio drawings, and a new filter for PostgreSQL databases.
The Document Foundation (TDF) invites power users to install LibreOffice 3.5 and suggests that more conservative users stick with the LibreOffice 3.4 branch. Corporate users are strongly advised to deploy LibreOffice with the backing of professional support from a company able to assist with migration, end-user training, support, and maintenance. TDF will soon provide a list of certified organizations providing these services.
LibreOffice 3.5 is available from http://www.libreoffice.org/download. The new features and the improvements are described in the infographic.

It's a follow up to my post about server-wide iframe injection attack where I asked for any information about that tricky hack. Thanks to my readers and administrators of infected servers I have some new information about it. Now I know how it works and what is infected, but still have no idea how hackers break into servers, so your input is welcome.
Continue »»
This post is a request for information.
This summer I come across some clearly infected servers where I can't figure out how exactly the hack works and what should be done to clean them up and to protect other servers from similar hacks. So I decided to share my information about the issue and hope someone could shed some light on it.
Here we go »»

A year ago I blogged about how hackers managed to hijack hundreds of high-profile websites to make them promote online stores that sold pirated software at about 5-10% of a real cost. They used quite a standard scheme that involved cloaking (making spammy links visible only to search engine crawlers) and conditional redirects (visitors from search engines who clicked on specifically-crafted links on compromised sites got redirected to online stores of software pirates)
Despite of all my warnings, most of those site are still hacked and help sell pirated software and steal credit card numbers. This negligence of site/server administrators encouraged cyber criminals to step even further in abusing reputation and resources of compromised servers. This post will be about one of such steps.

Last year I wrote about two elaborate server-wide hacks that hijacked web server (Apache) processes and intermittently served malicious content instead of requested legitimate web pages.
A year later, every now and then I still see servers affected by this sort of hack. I easily recognize recent modification of this attack when I see links to keygenguru .com in Unmask Parasites reports. Those modifications are slightly different from what I described in my goscanpark article. This time not only do the malicious processes serve JavaScript redirect code but also provide some HTML with links to pirated software and movies. This HTML code gets indexed by search engines which helps hackers promote their illegal resources.
A side effect of this "black-hat SEO modification" is when people search for domain names of affected sites, they see something like this in search results:

There has not been much buzz about the recent Beladen attack. Although some sources estimated 40,000 infected web sites, it was clearly not as prominent as the Gumblar. To my mind, it's because of the elusive nature of the Beladen exploit. It is very difficult to detect. It works intermittently. Only a small percentage of site visitors are exposed to malicious content. Many security scanners just overlook it. Most likely the spread of this attack is underestimated.
In this post, I'll list every fact I know about the Beladen exploit and hope you will add any missing information in the comments. This format proved to be very fruitful in my recent post about the Gumblar exploit where your 150+ comments made my article the most informative online resource about that attack that most other sites (including major media) referred to.
I hope the information you will find here can help site owners and hosting providers understand the nature of the exploit and get rid of it.

The methodology involved questionnaires, physical head count, preparation of comprehensive nominal rolls, scanning photographs and using file numbers to locate the relevant individuals, compiling actual personnel costs and calculating personnel costs based on head counts as reflected in the nominal roll.
A program-facilitating meeting was held to analyze the different tasks involved in the audit exercise. Afterwards, familiarization visits were made to the headquarters of the agencies where preliminary information was obtained. There were meetings with permanent secretaries where the objectives of the exercise were discussed. Subsequently, directors of personnel management mapped out ways and means of achieving the objectives of counting staff.
University graduate auditors were employed and given training on practical data collection, spreadsheet preparation, simple evaluation of staff payroll records and psychological questioning. The audit staff were deployed in adequate numbers to each state covered by the exercise.
A special instructional guide was prepared to elicit relevant data from the field. The guide contained a step-by-step approach required by auditors in eliciting the required information. The guide also included the formats of the nominal role and the personnel emoluments records.
The field data was captured in two main spreadsheets, the nominal roll and the accounting record spreadsheets. The nominal roll and the accounting records were processed using Microsoft Excel software. Recent color passport photographs were collected from each worker and scanned. Each photograph was then assigned a unique image file number. The image file number was recorded in the nominal roll so as to facilitate easy access to the photograph of each member of staff when required. The same software was used for the accounting records prepared in matrices showing the total gross personal emoluments of all staff between January 1997 and June 2000.
There were two main computer programs designed for the project. The first concerned the reconciliation of pertinent facts for a given member of staff in relation to four data sources:
The aim was to compare the audit results with existing data and to identify areas of, and reasons for, variance.
The staff appeared in groups before a panel of auditors. Each was required to appear with his or her employment file, which contained, or should have contained relevant documents that showed that he or she was a bona fide employee. The file was intended to serve as a control, and an effort was made to match the facts in the file and those on the completed questionnaires.
The second computerized program was developed to reconcile the photographs with the other records. The images were linked to the personnel file numbers.
During the interviews, staff were questioned about the facts in the file as well as in the questionnaire in order to authenticate the information provided. The interviews were conducted in the open so that other staff members could corroborate the information supplied by the interviewee.
Staff Audit Exercise
The consultants worked in two teams of approximately fifteen consultants each. Each team was co-ordinated by a managing consultant under the overall supervision of the Ministry of Establishments and Management Services (MEMS). The total exercise entailed several hundred audit staff visiting federal government offices throughout the country. It was not a sample survey, but a full head count, planned on an expected Federal Civil Service size of around 240,000. It covered all the ministries and extra-ministerial departments of the Federal Government, but excluded the armed forces, commercial and sub-vented parastatals. Effectively, it embraced all the organizations where payrolls were funded with personal emoluments allocations in the Federal Government budget. In terms of total Federal Government public employees, the staff audit covered about 45%.
The process started with MEMS providing the consultants with a list of all Federal Government establishments in both Abuja and the states. Each location was sent a supply of standard forms for every member of staff to complete. The forms captured basic details, comprising:
The consultants were equipped with a letter from the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation requiring cooperation. On the day of the physical head count, which coincided with pay day, staff was asked to line up and present their forms, together with a colored photograph and their personal file. The forms were then checked against the information on file and signed off by the staff's supervisor. Disparities and suspect submissions were noted, and the data were transferred to a spread sheet. In addition, information on pay was entered on to a second spreadsheet, cross-checking the forms with the departmental personnel emolument cards for each staff member.

A little about me...
I am a very happy, content person at this time in my life. I am grateful for all that I have and I am now looking for someone to share my life with. I enjoy my home and my yard and the time and effort to keep them up. I enjoy family and friends but prefer being with a single person at a time. I do have friends that I have dinner with once a month and thoroughly enjoy that evening out. I enjoy music, movies and the theater. I play the piano and the organ. I love to exercise daily. I especially enjoy yoga and walking in Sabino Canyon. I like to eat out or enjoy a special meal at home. I am financialy secure. I had a long (49 years) marriage and have good feelings about sharing my life with another. I had a wonderful career as a medical social worker and am finally ready to retire full time. I have always lived in Tucson but I enjoy traveling. I'm not very interested in traveling by myself. I firmly believe that everything is better when shared with another.
About the one I'm looking for...
I would like to meet someone who is a happy person that is content with their life. I would like someone who is able to plan outings and take some control, although I like making decisions together. I enjoy watching basketball on TV but do not play golf, cards or games. It would be great to have someone to share meals with as well as walks, travel or sunsets.
I'd just like to add...
I don't have obligations at home that would keep me from traveling. Companionship is important as well affection. I do enjoy touching and being touched. If you are a happy person and are looking for someone spend your time with, I would love to hear from you.

Harvin traded to Seahawks for draft picks
The Minnesota Vikings have traded receiver Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahawks for Seattle's first-rounder in 2013, seventh-rounder in 2013, and mid-round pick in 2014. Harvin has let his discontentment with the team and his contract be known and had requested a trade.
Harvin was the Vikings' first round pick in 2009 and will be reunited with former offensive coordinator for Minnesota Darrell Bevell, and receiver Sidney Rice. Harvin was an incredibly productive player in his four years with Minnesota, accumulating 280 catches for 3,302 yards and 20 touchdowns. He is also a dynamic rusher racking up 683 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns on 107 carries, according to Yahoo! Sports.
Seahawks receiver Golden Tate gave his thoughts on the move by the team, saying, "The Seahawks are trying to do whatever they think is necessary to put together a Super Bowl quality team. If this is one of the steps they think works to accomplish that, then that's their choice. I don't think it will impact any of our work habits. We are still going to grind and let the cards play out the way that they will," reported ESPN.
Harvin is set to receive a guaranteed $2.755 million in the last year of his rookie deal. The speedy receiver has gone on record saying that he believes that he should receive a contract similar to the 8-year $150.5 million that Calvin Johnson received. This may be a stretch for Harvin who, while dynamic and talented, is not worth as much as he thinks.
After all the Harvin drama, the Vikings come out of the deal with three great draft picks to fill their needs and the Seahawks have added more talent to an already formidable force.

Before flight, the commercially-rated pilot reported to a line service technician that he had been a passenger in the airplane on a previous flight, but he was now going to fly the airplane for the first time. A witness at the departure airport reported hearing a rough running engine as the airplane took off. About 5 minutes later, the airplane entered the traffic pattern at another airport. Witnesses at the arrival airport reported hearing a rough running engine as the airplane entered the traffic pattern. They observed the airplane turn left from the base leg to final approach for the runway. As the airplane turned to align with the extended runway centerline, its bank angle increased to near 90 degrees. This steep turn was likely performed by the pilot to correct for overshooting the runway's extended centerline. The nose of the airplane dropped, and the airplane rapidly descended and impacted terrain. Signatures at the accident site and statements from the witnesses were consistent with an aerodynamic stall. Although the pilot had about 9,500 hours of experience, this was his first flight piloting this airplane, thus he likely was not familiar with it's handling characteristics. Therefore, it is likely that the pilot overshot the centerline due to his lack of experience in the airplane and the distraction of the rough running engine. In a 2012 safety study on "The Safety of Experimental Amateur-Built Aircraft," the NTSB concluded that "purchasers of used [experimental amateur-built] (E-AB)aircraft face particular challenges in transitioning to the unfamiliar E-AB aircraft. Like builders of new E-AB aircraft, they must learn to manage the unique handling characteristics of their aircraft and learn the systems, structure, and equipment, but without the firsthand knowledge afforded to the builder." Thus, the NTSB recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration and the Experimental Aircraft Association "complete planned action to create a coalition of kit manufacturers, type clubs, and pilot and owner groups and (1) develop transition training resources and (2) identify and apply incentives to encourage both builders of experimental amateur-built aircraft and purchasers of used experimental amateur-built aircraft to complete the training that is developed."A postaccident examination of the airframe did not detect any anomalies. An examination of the engine revealed that the fuel servo exceeded all of the manufacturer's recommended maximum flowmeter limits, which would have resulted in a rich mixture. However, it could not be determined whether the discrepancy with the fuel servo was significant enough to result in a rough running engine. No other anomalies were detected with the engine.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

"You cannot address crime prevention without getting rid of assault weapons and handguns. I consider them a threat to national security, and I will go door to door if I have to, but I'm gonna convince Americans that I'm right, and I'm gonna get the guns."
That is a line uttered by fictional Commander and Chief Andrew Shepard played by Michael Douglas in the movie An American President. He makes the above declaration after delivering a heartfelt speech about love, country and character near the end of the movie. At the time (17 years ago), I never thought much about the Second Amendment: I only owned a couple of handguns, wasn't a hunter and as a police officer I was allowed to have and carry a firearm virtually any time I wanted.
And while the movie was considered a romantic comedy and overall I thought it was a pleasant little fairytale, even back then that line still struck me as odd and somewhat disturbing for a number of reasons.
The first: I believed it was an implied right for a citizen of this country to own guns, so "getting" them seemed a bit of a Constitutional reach. The second, it was literally impossible to do; take every gun away from everyone. Third, I thought the viewpoint was somewhat tyrannical, and, fourth, the statement was confusing and narrow-minded on a number of fronts, especially handguns and assault weapons being lumped together. But again, it was just a movie so I simply dismissed it as an unrealistic fantasy … until now.
The concept subscribed by Andrew Shepard isn't so much a fairy tale anymore. There is a large segment of the population that looks at a citizen's right to bear arms as misguided, factually wrong, antiquated or just plain stupid. And that's just a little bit scary as--in my mind--we are talking about a Constitutional right.
We have probably never been more at odds in this country over a plethora of issues. Immigration, gay marriage, abortion, race, the budget--you name it. Both sides--all sides--complain the other refuses to engage in "serious discussion" about whatever it is that needs addressing. I agree with that perspective; we do avoid discussions and when we have them they do need to be serious. But more importantly, they have to be realistic. The Second Amendment, mass killings and gun control require a realistic discussion. So let's start one here.
But as we do, please understand that the argument isn't about the Second Amendment per se. It's about the overall reason for the argument in the first place: violence. Where the discussions veer off course is when they become myopic in focus. People have an agenda and offer quick solutions to a complicated problem; unless of course that solution impacts them, their views and their income.
In my opinion the most vocal are: completely biased, using a tragedy to push an agenda, close minded, passing along wild misinformation, and are involved in massive hypocrisy. Let's look quickly at some of the reasons for violent behavior in our society, possible solutions and the hypocritical behavior that both allows it to continue and avoids the taking of responsibility.
24/7 News organizations. What do they do when there is a tragedy? They capitalize on it! So here's a suggestion: Stop the oversaturation reporting! I'm not saying ignore the tragedies, but why don't we limit the spotlight afforded to these crazed killers? Spend a couple of minutes on it. Report the incident. Keep us updated. Then, stop it!
The people who commit mass killings have sick twisted minds and they want the notoriety because of perceived wrongs and their belief that they have been shunned by society! If they didn't think they'd get worldwide attention then they'd be less apt to walk into schools and movie theatres and fire away! The news organizations say they care about stopping the carnage but they won't change their behavior. Why? Their argument is the First Amendment and that "people have a right to know."
What do I think their motivation is? Pure and simple--and yes I'm a cynic--RATINGS! And as we all know, ratings = money.
Parents and family structure. Uninvolved parents--what the hell happened to holding kids accountable? Parents need to spend quantity time not quality time with their children! In other words: Be there! Set the example. Know what they are doing and where they are. How the hell are kids able to build bombs and arsenals in garages and the parents don't know about it?
On a related note, the breakdown of families, but in particular the lack of an active father has absolutely been linked to violent, anti-social and criminal behavior. So maybe we should stop having kids out of wedlock. The stats are staggering. More than 50% of births to American women under 30 occur outside marriage. Children in father-absent homes are almost four times more likely to be poor. One study showed that 85% of incarcerated youth are from fatherless homes. You think that might have something to do with violent behavior among young males? Casual links absolutely exist.
But how does our society respond to this? We ignore it. We argue that women have the right to have children without the need for an active father (the need for a Dad being archaic and antiquated thinking), and for millions of them, we pay for all the expenses. Again what is society doing about this?
Media and video games. Some of the most self-righteous and disingenuous people in this debate are the movie stars, producers, directors, and video game manufacturers. Their entire argument is that what they produce doesn't influence others. Pardon me, but that's flat out crazy!
Their whole purpose in life is to influence! Everything they do is designed to elicit an emotional reaction, a response. Movies change the vernacular and slang of the nation, influence the way we dress, make heroes out of idiots and promote fame as something to be achieved even with a lack of talent or meaningful contributions. And if they really think they don't influence people then why do public service announcements rallying against gun violence and the Second Amendment?
They obviously believe that by presenting a three minute video clip while displaying an introspective look and talking in a serious pensive tone about gun violence they can influence the masses to change their minds about gun ownership. But, in the same vein, they argue, the 25,000 murders they collectively commit on TV, in video games and during movies each year has no affect at all. What's their motivation to keep doing what they are doing? Money.
Politicians and actors (again). Some of the very same people rallying against citizens owning guns wouldn't walk down the street without a bevy of armed guards surrounding them. Yet they scream about hunters being limited to three bullets and women defending themselves against rapists and home invaders needing no more than seven.
And while those speeches are being delivered--at that very moment--they have a small militia of "armed" security who are there for one reason and one reason only, to shoot anyone trying to do harm to the boss. How many rounds of ammunition do you think is within 30 feet of these people at any given moment? So let's start there. Let's limit them to one security guard with one gun limited to only seven rounds. If that was the case, these people wouldn't walk into the hallway to retrieve the morning paper--not that they do anyway.
Mental Health. I'm no expert, but I generally understand the law in this area and I have common sense. Bottom line: Many people are just plain sick in the head. They have unfortunate mental, emotional and psychological problems.
But even if they are recognized, what can we do legally? Nothing. We can't incarcerate someone because they have emotional "problems." And we shouldn't, since 99.9% of the people with psychiatric issues aren't violent. We can't force them to take medication or go to counseling. Therapists aren't even mandated to report them unless there is an indication of an immediate threat. And all the while, we release convicted violent sociopathic/psychopathic felons from prison while suspending five-year-olds for forming their hand into the shape of a gun!
Fictional President Shepard was right about one thing: "We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them." Let's start by having the discussions in the land of REALITY. Until we do, we are wasting time and possibly costing lives.

Monday afternoon, Will Remillard, who was selected in the 19th round of the MLB draft by the Chicago Cubs, sat on the couch of his home in Clifton Park next to his brother Zach, who was drafted a year ago in the 38th round by the Houston Astros."I've been dreaming about this since I started which was probably when I was five or six years old," explained Will. To have the opportunity to get drafted and play professional baseball has always been a goal of mine."It's a big moment," said Zach. "Going through it last year, I know how exciting it is."The two are teammates at Coastal Carolina and played together last summer with the Albany Dutchmen. While they know what it's like to play together, they hope to one day be playing against each other for their major league team.
For now, Zach plans to continue to support his brother as he pursues his dream."He's always had a good work ethic and kept his head in the game, so just continuing to keep that and strive for better things," said Zach."I'm heading to the Cape Cod League to play and I'm sure the Cubs will be there so I'll just play for now and whatever happens after that happens." said Will.
