SHEFFIELD, England, March 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Localphone.com attended the ITSPA Awards in London last week and was announced the Winner of the Best Consumer VoIP category.
ITSPA (The Internet Telephony Services Providers' Association), the voice of the UK VoIP industry, held its annual awards ceremony in the House of Commons last week in London. The awards were hosted by Dr Julian Huppert MP, Vice Chair of the Parliamentary Internet Communications and Technology Forum and were presented in 8 categories. Localphone were announced the proud winners of the Best Consumer VoIP Award, beating BT to the title, which was announced as the runner up with Highly Commended.
All entrants had to submit a written case study and self-assessment, which were independently reviewed by the ITSPA Awards judges and Malden Electronics conducted two months of technical testing for three of the categories, including Best Consumer VoIP. Full details of the awards can be found at http://www.itspaawards.org.uk.
Paul Cusack, CEO and founder of Localphone, said, 'It is a great honour to receive the ITSPA 2013 Award for Best Consumer VoIP and I am extremely proud of this achievement and recognition. It wouldn't have been possible without the help from all the Localphone employees who have worked so hard to make our service world class, so I'd like to offer my personal appreciation to them. We have lots of exciting plans and product development scheduled in for 2013 and we look forward to announcing these to the public in the coming months as well as entering more categories at the ITSPA Awards next year.'
Localphone was founded in 2007 by entrepreneur Paul Cusack, who famously set up Ebuyer and the Broadband provider, Plusnet, before setting up his latest venture http://www.localphone.com. Paul is originally from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, and set up his businesses in the local areas, which have transformed Sheffield into an IT and telephony hub.
Localphone has quickly grown to become one of the world's leading providers of cheap international calls and texts with rates up to 88% cheaper than the competition and more than ten million users worldwide. Calls can be made straight from a mobile phone, landline or computer so there's no need to purchase extra SIM cards or calling cards unlike with some international call providers. It is a pay as you go service, so users manage their account and add credit from their account online and don't have to worry about monthly contracts.
The company offers a range of services to suit the different needs of their customers all over the world. Localphone recently added the ability to make WiFi calls from their free iPhone and Android apps, which means customers can avoid paying roaming charges when calling from abroad. It also allows users located in countries where there are no access numbers to use the service and make international calls easily.
If you would like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Paul Cusack, please call the press room at +44(0)114-3190538 or e-mail press(at)Localphone(dot)com.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider PlayStation
- Publisher: Infogrames
- Release Date: Sep 27, 2001
- Summary: Based on one of the most popular cartoons in the Looney Tunes library, players will direct Ralph Wolf throughout the flock of sheep while avoiding detection by Sam Sheep-dog. Your mission, of course, is to use all sorts of outrageous mail-order equipment (Acme, naturally) to get to some delicious lamb chops.… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 12
Mixed: 4 out of 12
Negative: 0 out of 12
This has more invention and genuine touches of class than the majority of PS2 games have in total.
If you love the Looney Tune cartoons, you will love each level of this game.
Those who have always wanted to have the chance to star in a real life cartoon should look no further than this fun little game. The cult starts here!
Oddly enough, the game could be considered the kid's version of "Metal Gear Solid." Replace the soldiers with Sam, and the weapons with blow dryers and lettuce heads and you get the idea.
I'm sure you'll find the gameplay to be quite interesting and thoroughly entertaining. [Nov 2001, p.123]

And the environments are unique, and, most importantly, the puzzle make sense. The movement is smooth, so the platforming is also very well done.

After decades of salt spray, the metal window frames are corroding and pulling apart (see inset in lower left corner of the photo). They are going to be replaced with fiberglass window frames, which should last a lot longer.

Question for you:
I set up RR&A in order to provide very specific economic, investing and trading advice. How this progresses, and what the ideal balance should be will form over time.
But I am not sure what the RR&A readership is most interested in: The goal of the service is to guide individual investors
on their long term holdings, and discuss the Macro enviroment relative
to their asset allocation. But what about the occasional trading opportunity? How about a rare option trade?
In my opinion, Trading should be relatively rare — but when the occasion presents itself
(3 or 4 times a year) I like to take advantage of the opportunity.
Tuesday was a perfect example, and we issued the first RR&A trading alert.
Also, an even rarer option trade presented itself on Wednesday, and within the
confines (and under the legal protections) of Real Money, I posted an
option idea that turned out to be a moneymaker.
I have backposted that as an example of how we might show "Stale"
market/trade calls, but I am also interested in a broader question:
for potential and actual subscribers of RR&A, what is it that you
are most interested in: Long term investing? Asset Allocation? Medium term (30 days) Trades? Options?
Comment away; You guys have become my best R&D resource:
"AS WE WERE SAYING BEFORE WE WERE SO rudely interrupted by a man dressed in a white smock and wielding a scalpel (thank heavens he left his box-cutter at home), the stock market looks a bit worse for the wear."
So says Barron's Alan Abelson, usually one of Wall Street's most visible Bears. Just his luck — or was it the Trading Gods having some fun? — that he managed to be out of service for the most bearish period in 3 years. Traders, being a superstitious lot, will soon be begging Abelson to "let us know the next time you go in for a procedure" – so they can get short.
Regardless, whatever the man dressed in a white smock removed, it wasn't his arch sense of humor or acid tinged tongue:
"The impact of the massive disturbance was global in every sense: Not only were its terrible tremors felt far beyond the narrow canyon of capitalism in lower Manhattan, but they commanded notice in quarters much loftier than trading floors or commodity pits. We've not the slightest doubt, for example, that what prompted the famed cosmologist Stephen Hawking early last week to urge earthlings to create settlements in space was, pure and simple, fear of the effect of crashing markets on the human race."
But the key to Abelson's return is his clear eyed take on inflation, which comports squarely with our own views:
"FOR OPENERS, OUR HUNCH IS THAT MR. BERNANKE'S concerns about inflation, despite his mucking up the message with all that rubbish about inflationary expectations, have more than a modicum of merit. And our conviction on this score is only strengthened, of course, by the fact that so many pundits pooh-pooh inflation as a problem. Indeed, if anything, we fault the chairman for his evident sympathy with the argument that the fearsome upward spiral in the price of crude, so far, anyway, hasn't been exerting all that much impact in the economy at large.
Apparently, Mr. Bernanke, like his critics, needs to get out more. Oil is a very sneaky commodity. Our old friend and revered Barron's contributor, Abe Briloff, likes to describe certain stealth accounting practices as comparable to a bikini: what they reveal is interesting, what they conceal is vital. Oil is something like that: Its uses are readily manifest, but it plays a far bigger and more critical role in our lives than is easily perceived.

How to turn Barbies into Doctor Who Weeping Angels

Pop bottles and make some wine cork and bottle cap projects
My favourite souvenirs from travel seem to be booze-related.

They're sentimental and touristy at the same time (not to mention cheap and easy to bring back home) — but right now they're just packed away. I want a way to display them that's tasteful or even useful, and I'm inspired by this quote from Suzanne and Tim over on Offbeat Bride…

4 tips on using an X-Acto knife without it ending in bloodshed
I remember when I took my first class at college, the first thing the professor did was show us how to use an X-Acto properly and how to cut a mat board. She went over every detail, told us to be extra careful because they are sharp little bastards. And what happens? Not five minutes later, a girl cuts open her hand and, as I later found out, had to get stitches and couldn't work with that hand for a while. So here are a few little tips for other DIYers. I'm mostly just wanted to address common things I've seen done that end in injury.

Country/Date of origin: Great Britain/1500s
An ancient breed of herding dog, the Rough Collie shares a common heritage with the Border Collie. In the 1860s the Rough Collie caught the eye of people interested in the beauty of the dog and bred it to increase body size and the thickness of its coat. Coincidentally, there was a increased popularity of the larger, slower English sheep (better wool) over the nimble, cunning Highland sheep. Now the bigger, slower Rough Collie could compete for the shepherd's favor and it began to find its way back into the fields.
With the patronage of Queen Victoria, the Collie became the vogue in the 1880s. And American royalty in the form of J.P. Morgan championed the breed across the Atlantic as well. In 1885 Collies were admitted into the American Kennel Club and great specimens were fetching more than the average man earned in ten years.
There are two varieties of the Collie. Everything that can be said about the rough coated Collie can be said about the smooth variety except for coat.

Before returning to Detroit in 2008, Banta spent the 2009 season as a tight ends coach for the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. He played three of his 11 NFL seasons with the Lions (2001-03) as a tight end and longsnapper.
After being drafted by Indianapolis in the fourth round of the 1994 NFL Draft, Banta spent six seasons with the Colts and established himself as one of the League's best longsnappers. He joined the New York Jets for the 2000 season before coming to Detroit in 2001. He finished his career with Buffalo in 2004.
Upon his retirement from the NFL, Banta worked with George Wright Construction, as a supervisor, for a year and in Chase's Home Financial Division for nearly two years in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Banta was a two-year starter at tight end at the University of Southern California (1989-93) as well as a four-time letter-winner. He earned Honorable Mention All-Pac 10 Conference honors as a junior and senior and received his bachelor's degree in communications with a minor in sociology in 1993.
A native of Baton Rouge, La., Banta was a Parade All-American as a senior at University High School and helped them to the state championship (1988) while playing tight end and linebacker. He and his wife, Amy, have three children.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich on a Grill? Madness! [VIDEO]
Here I go again, boasting about my grilling skills, ha they are average at best but I don't know how to cook so I pride myself on occasionally grilling and having it eaten by my family.
Here I go again, boasting about my grilling skills, ha they are average at best but I don't know how to cook so I pride myself on occasionally grilling and having it eaten by my family.
You think you might have seen all there is to see of 'Frozen,' but you haven't seen anything until you've seen it recut as a horror movie.
For those of us who may be on the fence about our wardrobe for as a guest for the big day, finally a complete list has been compiled to make sure you don't show up with people pointing and laughing.
So the pet shaming contest is going on now. There have been a lot of great submissions so far. I decided it was time to put in my own submission.
I can't even begin to start a list of all the things I loved to eat as a kid, that nobody makes anymore. Of course it is all types of candy or gum.
Sometimes you see things on the web that may you stop and go awwww. This is one of those times.
Going to the movies is supposed to be a two-hour break from the rigors of the world, even if it does cost more than your weekly salary.
Some people are extremely creative. I would have never thought to do this before.
'Full House' may be a beloved sitcom, but it could also be one of the most frightening horror flicks of all-time.
Milk. Spoon. Bowl. Cereal. The formula for eating is pretty simple, right?
Some police officers in Quincy California are trying to make nice with some motorists by pulling them over and then giving them free Ice Cream.
I am so out of my element talking about something like a Comic Convention, but I did have a little insight from 2 of my co-workers who were going to go and are huge Sci- Fi fans.

Mumbai's chances of progressing to the final of this year's Ranji Trophy final took a blow when experienced left-armer Zaheer Khan was left out for the match against surprise semi-finalists, Services. Zaheer had suffered a calf injury during Mumbai's gane against Madhya Pradesh and he further aggravated the injury in the game against Gujurat. The vastly experienced pacer also had to miss out quarter-final game against Baroda. The team also had some good news as they were boosted by the return of Suryakumar Yadav.

This is not a very sophisticated subject. I have a 7 year old cousin who is so bright and interested in engineering (He goes to an elementary school that focuses on science). We had gone to the USF science festival the other month and when we got to the Robotics section, he was mesmerized.
Being 23 now, I look back and wish I pushed myself recreationally in sciences. From your experience, do you have any recommendations on something that I could get him for Christmas that encourages this interest and also develops necessary skills and concept for him to "run with it".
How would you recommend me going about this?
Thank you for your time.

- In the Heart of Fort WorthBruceTexasVIPDined on 9/19/2014I enjoy this location. It is in the middle of all the excitement in downtown Fort Worth. Great food and service. It is sure to be a grand experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- go2sundance squarego2sundancesquareDined on 9/18/2014Have enjoyed Del Frisco's Grill for two group lunches and 3 other dining experiences. Enjoy the location, the food, the energy...sure glad that Fel Frisco's Grill became a location to go to in Sundance Square.Special Features:
- Not a great BrunchluvdowntownDined on 9/14/2014We were there for Brunch, but the brunch food items are not up to par. They should re-think the Croque Madame. It was not a true Croque Madame. Eggs ordered over easy were well done. Everything we had seemed a little sub-par. Dinner and lunch menu are better. Love the idea of Brunch. But if you are going to do it...do it well.Special Features:
- BrunchYon57VIPDined on 9/14/2014I have dined at DFG many times for lunch & dinner but have to report that brunch was just not great. Chicken fried steak was dry & room temperature. Ham & cheese sandwich was tasteless & served with a salad which seemed a disconnect for brunch (fruit bowl would have been better). We were entertaining another couple so didn't say anything & they finished the eggs benedict & pork burrito completely so it must have been better than ours.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First visitLINDAVIPDined on 9/13/2014Not being fans of Del Frisco's, it has taken us a long time to decide to try Del Frisco's Grille. We found the menu choices, prices, atmosphere and staff to be far above any expectations we had. We will definitely put this restaurant on our list of favorites in Fort Worth and would recommend to anyone looking for very good food, nice atmosphere, great and friendly waitstaff and management.Special Features:
- A must place to eat at!SteveYDined on 9/13/2014Second time to eat here and both times food and service were great. This is a fun place as well. Our waiter was very good and his knowledge of the menu and wine list was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- always greatfoodisgoodDined on 9/12/2014this is my third visit here. it is always good. service is great ajd the food and ambiance perfect. wonderful to have the option to eat outside. convenient parking in a close lot w free parking w validated sundance square stamp.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reservation system not greatNise4545Dined on 9/10/2014The restaurant is vibrant and well appointed and new. Their reservation system needs some tweeking. We waited 30 minutes. When we were seated there was a whole back room (nice and quoted) with empty tables. We have our order when the server first came and let her know we were rushed but it didn't seem to make a difference. 15 minutes for chips and guacamole. We even had to cancel part of our order. The food we had was good and I'd go back if I didn't need to be somewhere in a timely manner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, Great ValuedllandesVIPDined on 9/7/2014We have dined here a few times and the food never disappoints. I had the CFS and eggs, w/chorizo gravy, and it was fantastic. The steak and over-medium egg went well together with the slightly smoked/spicy gravy. My wife enjoyed the double-cheese hatch burger; this place uses Prime beef that is fresh ground...no frozen, pre-fab chuck patties here. Service was a bit slow for a Sunday brunch crowd that wasn't nearly to capacity. And the kitchen, nor the expediter can be commended for accuracy, because neither of them bothered to read the ticket properly, before or after the meal was prepared. It was to be "no bun" and it came with a bun. Small oversight...yes; but, one that should not have escaped the attention of the staff. Great dining!!Special Features:
- Excellent foodJG01VIPDined on 9/6/2014Our Dinner was amazing. Food is exceptional. Filet trio special was cooked to perfection. Even if your not a grit fan, like me, it's definitely worth trying here! Service was just ok. We had a young guy that seemed a little scattered, but did not distract from a good evening. Usually the service is exceptional, so knocked 1 star for service, but would definitely go again.Special Features:
- Excellent restaurantRomeoTimeDined on 9/6/2014My girlfriend and I visited this place and the ambiance, food, service and everything is absolutely amazing. We were super pleased with the way we were treated from them moment we walked in. If you want a place that's super romantic, nice, and fancy without breaking your bank, this is definitely the place to go!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fun lunch spotTonyDined on 9/5/2014Great drinks and lunch! Some had healthy salads, some had juicy burgers with fries. Shared lemon caked - mmm! The welcoming receptionist was accommodating in selecting a table with a view of the plaza. We'll come back in cooler weather and sit outside. Brian was excellent and added to our birthday celebration with his attentive service.Special Features:
- awesomeDiamondGirlDined on 9/4/2014Awesome food and great service. My favorite is the adult milkshake known as Del's Delight.Special Features:
- Dinnergnelson0309Dined on 9/2/2014We came in last Tuesday and had a good overall experience. The servers were great. The Appetizers and dessert was great. The Main course was not so great. We ordered the special for the night which was three different 3 Oz steaks and the meat was very gristly and chewy. The manager eventually came over and talked to us after about 30-45 minutes. I would recommend making this a place for an appetizer and a drink.
- Good food, but VERY LOUDOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/31/2014The food was quite good. The server was polite and unobtrusive ( I like that). I would encourage him to offer dessert to his guests. The designers of the restaurant did not take into consideration the level of noise that is generated when the restaurant starts to fill up. Please add some soft surfaces to muffle some of the noise. Our reservation was at 6:30 and it was quite loud even that early. By 7:15 we could barely hear each other. Please do something about the noise. That will keep me from returning at the dinner hour.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So soUniquedinersVIPDined on 8/31/2014Service has improved. Food so-so. Unsure if I will return again.Special Features:
- Loved it!ElizDined on 8/31/2014We truly had a five star experience at Del Frisco Grille. I will definitely be going back and recommending this wonderful restaurant to friends and family.Special Features:
- Holiday brunchAGirlFromTexasDined on 8/31/2014My boyfriend and I visited for a relaxing Sunday brunch. The mimosas were delicious. I had the red velvet waffle (which really could use more sauce, but other than that it was delicious), and he had the crab cakes benedict. Both were delicious. We sat on the patio overlooking the Plaza. We definitely will go back!Special Features:
- Repet offenderDoubleJwebDined on 8/24/2014Del Friscos Grille was delicious as always. The build your own bloody was a fun twist to brunch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Try the waffles!SarahpdfwVIPDined on 8/24/2014The red velvet waffles are no short of amazing. And, the waiter was sweet and attentive. I'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Can't get a steak anywhere else...TimDDined on 8/23/2014Del Frisco's Grill is an offshoot of the main Del Friscos restaurant chain. Their steaks are second to maybe only very few(make sure to order it Pittsburgh rare!), their side dishes and scrumptious and fresh, and their appetizers are hip and fit for any foodie. The win list is staggeringly large and awesome and they carry a fair amount of local brews as well, can't beat that. Location is a great factor for this place as well, in the heart of the new Sundance Square...talk about cool and this is it! It's worth a shot!Special Features:
- Quiet, Easy BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/23/2014"Brunch" means different things to different people, but we were their first table and they weren't quite ready on time. Everybody was friendly and relaxed. My first cup of coffee wasn't very hot, but after that it was good. The food was good, but not amazing. Four stars is pretty high praise. I would eat here again!Special Features:
- Consistent performanceWestTexasDined on 8/22/2014The menu is good but not special. The food was well prepared and presented. The device was very good.Special Features:
- perfect settingfriendsorlunchDined on 8/22/2014Appetizers and lunch, perfect portions, would definitely go back any day...Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/19/2014A very pleasant experience. Nice wait staff! I enjoyed the online reservations. Restaurant was not overly busy on the evening of our visit, so I am not aware of level of service if the staff were much busier.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The AppmizTexasSinDined on 8/16/2014We thought the steak egg rolls were not n That great my Husband did not like the sauce on them at all and the mushrooms were not very good either , but the steak was Great!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Del's never disappointsMscottDined on 8/16/2014You can't go wrong here. The food is superb as you would expect from Del's. We had the Shrimp and Grits (one of my favs) and the Beef Tip Stroganoff (marvelous). We were sat by the window and had a great view of Sundance Square. Couldn't have asked for a better casual dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our experienceLJToyaMason7Dined on 8/16/2014I usually don't speak about any experience that my wife and I had for a special occasion dinner, but this restaurant was very elegant, the service was superb, the food was absolutely over the top outstanding! It was my wife and I anniversary: I had the 3 steak special and my wife had the Shrimp and grits, both were exquisite! A definite place to bring my family and friends in the near future!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Del Frisco's QualityOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014Our third time wasn't a charm. Do not go the Del's Grill expecting the same quality of food. The wedge salad was drowning in water, which made the blue cheese dressing very runny and untasteful. The shrimp (with grits) was way overcooked. We should have sent our meal back but because we had tics to a show, we didn't have time to wait. There too many other great dining opportunities in downtown Fort Worth to waste the money on this one.Special Features:
- Nice restaurantJPPRDined on 8/15/2014Our food was good service was not great on this trip.Special Features:
- WOWTXRedRaiderDined on 8/15/2014What an amazing destination. From the time we walked in the door we had a superb experience. Our waitress was fantastic and was very attentive, funny, and professional. I had the pork chop and my girlfriend had the Chicken Schnitzel, both were a perfect balance of flavor and texture. I don't see anyone being disappointed after a night out at Del Frisco's Grille. Go!Special Features:
- DisappointedJHNLDined on 8/15/2014Service was good. Food was OK. Steaks were excellent, but "potato cakes" were burnt on outside, and not done on the inside. For these prices, can't we get a "REAL Baked Potato"? Salad was kind of lame. And where is the bread???? When I pay $60 for a steak dinner, I at least expect a roll to come along with it. Not at all worth the $175 price for dinner for two.
- Lovely Venue!Dinner42Dined on 8/15/2014We came to Del Friscos for a romantic birthday celebration. It was wonderful. The wait staff was friendly and informative. The Tennessee Peach cocktail was very tasty and refreshing. The guacamole was flavorful and had a hint of heat with the chili pepper. The Filet Mingon was delicious and very tender. It was a wonderful night! We will definitely be returning to Del Friscos!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Anniversary VenueFWISHOMEDined on 8/10/2014My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary here. Not only did they seat us at a beautiful plaza overlook table, the staff provided tremendous service and a desert on the house for the occasion. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the selections/pairings with great suggestions. Every bite was delicious and the presentation beautiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Extremely Overated!JodaisDined on 8/9/2014After being seated in a dark corner next to the restrooms, we kindly asked our waitress if we could move to a nicely well lit booth. Serveral became available during the hour 1/2 we were there but was never moved. After ordering our food finally arrived 45mins later. I ordered the cheeseburger & Parmesan/sea salt fries which you can get a better burger & fries at Whataburger hands down! My wife ordered a medium well 8 ounce fillet mignon which was chard on the outside & couldn't eat a certain portion of it because it was burnt. They offered us a free desert which was a slice of lemon cake that was dry & the icing was hard & cold. Our bill totaled $75. We rarely get a date night because of the kids & this was a regretful experience!
- First and only visitEje528Dined on 8/9/2014The food was nothing to brag about even though the service was exceptional. The cost of their cocktails were way overpricedSpecial Features:
- 40th Anniversarywww40Dined on 8/9/2014We chose Del Frisco's Grille to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We had attended an event at the grill 3 nights earlier and really enjoyed the food. We were greeted at the door and all staff apparently knew about our 40th as I had mentioned it when making reservations. Our wait staff was the best ever as was the food. They comped our desert (candle and all). The manager (Bruno) stopped by with a congratulatory visit and made certain the evening was everything we expected. Our new favorite restaurant.Special Features:
- Excellent dining experienceSundanceFanDined on 8/9/2014Great place to catch a bite to eat after Bass Hall shows or meeting up with friends. The food is always enjoyable; brunch, lunch, or dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the Private Room!!greatprivatediningDined on 8/8/2014We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday in their beautiful private room upstairs. Our party of eight was so happy to be able to visit across the table with ease in the beautiful private dining area. We will definitely be going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GreekgirlGreekgirlDined on 8/8/2014What a wonderful surprise!! Everything was wonderful!!! Service was exemplary-food was beyond wonderful-and the wine list great!! Love the cool and modern atmosphere, and the view was terrific!! Can't say enough!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

A Dream about 'Silent Night' (Drømmen om 'Glade Jul') is an improvisatory paraphrase based on the famous Christmas carol, which swiftly departs from the original melody and explores new, more unusual musical territory. Nielsen's title, 'Dream', is significant, suggesting parallels with his orchestral tone poem Saga-drøm, which likewise contains passages of a strangely fantastical and arabesque-like nature. The work was composed in 1905, and, appropriately given the subject matter, the score is dated 3 December.

Carol-Shea Porter: It will take compromise and courage to solve sequester impasse
On Tuesday, I went to the floor of the House of Representatives to say we should do more than just one simple vote a day (Tuesday's only real vote was to develop an academic competition, Monday's was to rename a flight facility), and that we really needed to work on the biggest issue - a sequester compromise.
Suddenly, Republican Speaker John Boehner walked in, repeated his comments about how the House had already passed two bills last Congress to avert the sequester, blamed the Democrats for holding out for a compromise bill, and departed.
While I was there to talk about a compromise to avoid the sequester, the Speaker, the only one who actually can make that happen in the House, basically told anyone watching CSPAN that he had already done his part, that he was finished.
So goes a typical day in Washington. A few insults are hurled at the Senate and around the House, and everyone goes home, a day's work left undone. No debate on jobs. No debate on fair and careful deficit reduction. No legislative solutions offered, none voted upon. And when the sequester hits if Congress does not compromise, we will see the consequences - jobs lost in New Hampshire and across America, many Americans finding it even harder to get by.
Remember the "jobs, jobs, jobs" campaign chant? I can't even hear a whisper of the word now in the House, because everyone is yelling so loudly about the sequester. Is there a path to a solution here? I do believe there is, but it will call for compromise and courage.
Both parties agree the debt is too large. We may not agree on what spending was necessary, but we all agree that going forward, we need to reduce the debt. Since Congress already passed a first round of cuts, amounting to $1.5 trillion in discretionary cuts (which caused the economy to contract last quarter), we should now compromise and limit and slow down a second round, so we can absorb it. We should scrutinize and reduce spending where appropriate, but do it gradually, so we do not shock the economy, increase joblessness, and slow down our recovery. The sequester will cut $85 billion this year, and $1.2 trillion over 10 years. That is too severe for a fragile economy.
The sequester will hurt both defense and domestic programs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the sequester will reduce economic growth in 2013 by one-third. These cuts will make us lose about a million jobs, force federal workers to take furloughs and lose 20 percent of their pay, and hack services that range from Meals on Wheels to school aid, from work at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard to work in the National Guard. Hospitals will suffer, nonprofits will struggle, and small and large businesses will feel the pain also, when people are laid off and cannot spend. Everyone will feel the pain eventually because the sequester calls for the axe to fall evenly across the federal government, half the cuts coming from defense and half coming from domestic programs. The only group that is happy about this is the group that largely caused this, the tea party. As the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, "Although Democratic and Republican leaders are pointing fingers, the tea party and its allies are happily accepting credit for the cuts."
While I believe that many members from both parties would like to work this out, Speaker Boehner and his leadership team control the House. They alone decide what bills will be put on the floor for a vote. To date, they have refused to allow votes on any plans to avert the sequester. They wouldn't even change the schedule so Congress can at least be in session today, the day the sequester hits. We cannot compromise if we aren't there, and we can't vote on a compromise if no compromise bills are brought to the floor for a debate and a vote.
Most Americans want Congress to work together. They want us to reduce costs and find revenue by stopping unnecessary subsidies. They want us to get the job done, but most members of Congress can only do what they are doing - sit, wait, and wonder why we can't have those debates and those votes. Debates and votes require courage and compromise. Maybe that's why we aren't having any, but Americans have a right to demand it.

A little about me...
Widowed after 48 years of marriage.I have been single now for over three years.
I am very outgoing, Sometimes quite funny. Quick on my feet. I am Mr. Casual, so being honest if your looking for a formal or "suit guy", I am not him.
I enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, geocaching, and chess. I love the NFL. Jeeping is high on my list of things to do. I have no interest in traveling outside the USA except for Mexico and Canada.
About the one I'm looking for...
Looking for someone who sees life through the glass "half full", who is affectionate, enjoys spontaneity, camping, hiking, yet can cuddle up at home and enjoy each other whether it is watching a movie, listening to music, or playing a game. No, i am not a big country western fan but can tolerate it. My genre of music is Classic rock especially the Grateful Dead. I don't dance but might be willing to learn under the right person.
I'd just like to add...
Please, no smokers.I do not attend church, nor do i care to. If you are very religious, we probably will not match up. If you don't have a picture do not expect a reply.I prefer a retired woman so as to allow for spontaneity.
