Hiding sensuality behind health, instead of celebrating it, devalues the erotic lives of women and men. More than that, our political embarrassment about sex has leveraged the power of the wealthy to control the intimate lives of others.
At the Netroots Nation conference this past weekend, I had the opportunity to sit down with Maine senate candidate Shenna Bellows. We didn't have a lot of time to chat, but I definitely had enough time to find out that she has a great and diverse background, and is an incredibly thoughtful person
Today I identify as a gay evangelical Christian, and I have a unique understanding and perspective from both sides of an issue that has become the cultural flashpoint of our generation.
Private security contractors employed by the U.S. government abroad, for example, have been implicated in serious human rights violations, ranging from destruction of property to torture and human trafficking.
The Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision is a disaster for women, and we can lay the blame squarely at the feet of the Obama administration.
Our families are there for us during quinceañeras, graduations, and weddings. Those same family values taught us the importance of strong, loving, committed relationships. As Members of Congress, we want to make sure that everyone, regardless of who they love, is accepted, has the same legal protections, and has the right to marry whomever their heart chooses.
A lot of attention Post-Snowden has been paid to what the NSA does-- vacuum up emails, listen in on Skype chats and so forth. Too little attention has been devoted to what is done with the information NSA collects.
Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision establishing a woman's right to an abortion, was issued 41 years ago. Despite consistent public opinion to the contrary, conservatives and the religious right have patiently and relentlessly campaigned against it for decades. And recently, their efforts are finding some success.
My wife, Elenor, and I are among the plaintiffs in one of Utah's two marriage equality lawsuits ping-ponging its way up the judicial system. Our case is seeking the State's recognition of the roughly 1,300 couples who married this last winter.
Just as cell phones are different from ordinary physical objects, the Internet is dramatically different from earlier speech mediums. And the Court should acknowledge those differences in determining the scope of First Amendment protection for speech.
The nine justices of the SCOTUS are now in recess, leaving the rest of us the summer in which to reflect upon and digest their latest set of rulings. Because it is likely that both judgments will have long-term adverse consequences for progressive causes, a moment of reflection on that second judgment is well in order.
All of these works have enriched my life, and invite rereading, and I commend them to those who have not yet experienced Ed's help in shaping their thinking and the enjoyment that inevitably comes from reading his work.
New York State has long been a leader in advancing women's equality, stretching back to the Seneca Falls Convention 166 years ago this weekend. Sadly, as we mark this important anniversary, hard-won victories by the women's rights movement are being threatened by a radical right wing that seeks to roll back the progress we've made.
The SCOTUS is the nation's highest court. The recent 2-to-1 decision by a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upholding the University of Texas at Austin's use of racial preferences in its admissions program indicates that the two judges in the majority have forgotten this basic tenet of American law.
The Republicans believe that suing Obama will excite and turn out their base voters, and they're betting that this benefit will be larger than any political blowback. Whether they're right in this political calculation or not remains to be seen. But what is undeniable is that, so far, this lawsuit is nothing short of laughable.
The highly politicized pro-choice/anti-choice dispute is usually fought on the battleground of religion, though not religions agree on it. It involves complex moral and personal questions that are framed by some religions as theological.

Kristen Stewart's love letter to Robert Pattinson
The actress wants to desperately mend her relationship with her former boyfriend
Actress Kristen Stewart has sent boyfriend Robert Pattinson a long love letter in a bid to repair their fractured relationship.
"Kristen wrote a long letter explaining her love to Rob. She feels that even if he can't forgive her, he should know that she is closer to him than anyone else could ever be," showbizspy.com quoted a source as saying.
The couple recently agreed to a trial separation.
Meanwhile, Stewart, 22, is said to be angry that Pattinson isn't giving her enough attention while he films "The Rover" in Australia.
"She was devastated when Rob suggested they go on a trial separation, and Kristen has been eager to visit him, but now she is getting seriously angry at Rob because he is so bad at keeping in contact," added the source.
With Pattinson out of the country, thousands of miles away working in Australia, Stewart has been missing him badly.
"Robert is often starting his working day when Kristen is busy, and vice versa. And he is not the best at sending texts, or keeping in touch in the first place. Kristen is angry with him because she thinks he's not giving her enough attention, it's absolutely killing her," said the source.

Teens charged with vandalizing cemeteryTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | May 05,2014MONKTON Vermont State Police say a pair of teens on a vandalism spree toppled historic grave markers and a flagpole at a Monkton cemetery.
Two juveniles are slated to appear in juvenile court June 10 on charges of unlawful mischief.
Law enforcement officials said that 10 gravestones including one on the grave of War of 1812 veteran were toppled Friday at the Boro Cemetery in Monkton.
One juvenile was arrested Friday.
The second juvenile was arrested Saturday.
Town officials peg the dollar value of the vandalism at about $800.
Police say the pair also broke in half a flagpole at the cemetery leaving an American flag lying on the ground.MORE IN This Just InBy Susan Smallheer Full StoryMONTPELIER – The United States Department of Agriculture announced today that schools in... Full StoryBy Brent Curtis Full Story

Daily Courier Sports Editor Jimmy Potts and Sports Reporters Jacob Conley and Bill McDaniel talk about Friday's playoff games in the latest edition of the Sportscast.
After graduating nearly its entire 2013-2014 starting lineup, the East Rutherford Cavaliers may need some time to develop.
The East Rutherford High School girls basketball team has a challenging season ahead of them.
With only 10 wrestlers on East Rutherford's roster wins at duels will be in short supply, but Cavaliers coach Tim Bird believes he has a youthful, but talented team.
Four years ago, the East Rutherford Cavalier and Lady Cavalier swim teams amounted to four students but Coach Tara Mauney feels excited for the upcoming season with 17 swimmers filling the roster.
The East Rutherford Cavaliers' season came to a close after a drive in the final two minutes came up short, which allowed the Mount Pleasant Tigers to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
East Rutherford ends season with 20-19 loss
The East Rutherford Cavaliers ended their season after sustaining a 20-19 loss to the Mount Pleasant Tigers. The Cavs led for most of the game, but a third quarter 30-yard touchdown by Tigers running back sealed the deal and advanced Mount Pleasant to the second round.
The East Rutherford Cavaliers knew their 13th seed would make it a tough journey to the state championship game and their first test comes tonight against Mount Pleasant (9-2).
Daily Courier Sports Editor Jimmy Potts and Sports Reporters Jacob Conley and Bill McDaniel discuss this week's football playoff games and much more in the latest edition of the Sportscast.
In Mathematics, the X-factor represents the variable that has a significant impact on an outcome and when it comes to East Rutherford's recent success, quarterback Calvin Camp is certainly that.

Purina's parking, traffic anger nearby businesses
Send this to a friend
- Paula Moore
Long-standing disputes over traffic and parking surrounding the Nestle Purina pet food plant are flaring up once again following a recent city-approved expansion of the northeast Denver plant at I-70 and York Street.
Business owners near the plant say they've talked to Purina executives and city officials about the problems for years. But those issues — such as tractor-trailer trucks picking up pet food clogging streets and blocking access to businesses — haven't been resolved. They argue that the city is giving Purina preferential treatment because it's owned by a big, global company, Nestle S.A.
A group of businesses near the plant hired traffic engineer John Aldridge of Littleton-based Aldridge Transportation Con-sultants LLC to come up with a way to unsnarl traffic around the plant. But the business owners contend neither the city nor Purina seems interested in Aldridge's plan.
"The businesses around Purina are terribly impacted," Aldridge said. "Purina brings in hundreds of trucks a day … that deliver dog food nationwide. You don't want to hurt their business, but it's a matter of trying to lessen the impact to other businesses by some reasonable traffic engineering measures."
Plant owner Nestle Purina PetCare Co. of St. Louis, through spokesman Keith Schopp, contends the company has worked to be "a good neighbor" to nearby companies. "We're certainly open to discussing any issue with any of our neighbors," he said.
Nestle Purina, maker of Purina and Pro Plan dog foods as well as Friskies and Fancy Feast cat food, is part of publicly traded Swiss food giant Nestle S.A.
City spokespeople in the community planning/development and public works departments say those departments are working to upgrade streets and traffic patterns around the Purina plant, and expect to start improvements this summer.
"I know various city departments are involved, and working to come up with a fair solution," said Eric Brown, communications director in Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's office.
The Purina plant is at 4555 York St., just off Interstate 70. Neighboring businesses Orr Construction Co., Brick Inc. and the Trautman & Shreve Inc. mechanical engineering firm, as well as real estate owner/developer Rodger Boggs, say they've dealt for many years with Purina trucks ignoring traffic signs, blocking access to their businesses and clogging surrounding streets while waiting to get on plant grounds, and parking on streets where they're not supposed to, according to Boggs.
"They have the attitude that it's better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission," he said.
Problems have escalated since Purina recently started allowing trucks to park on a five-acre dirt parcel it bought last fall at 44th and Vine streets, next to Trautman & Shreve on Race Street and across from Orr Construction's Vine Street location. It's also near Boggs' operation on Race.
With the big trucks operating closer to the businesses, there are more traffic problems than ever, the owners said.
"Purina's trucks interfere with traffic to our business," said Nate Orr of Orr Construction. "We're blocked on our south side two to three times a day. … All our complaints fall on deaf ears. Our relationship with Purina has deteriorated."
"The important thing is everybody is nervous and concerned because we're running out of space. … We're all trying to coordinate a plan consistent with Purina's growth that will allow all of us to function properly," said Jim Durant, president of Trautman & Shreve.
Aldridge's preliminary traffic plan calls for changes such as angling Vine Street so it lines up better with the plant entrance, putting Purina employee parking on a parcel at 44th Avenue and Vine Street now used for truck parking, and moving truck parking to 43rd and Vine.
One suggested fix by the city's Traffic Engineering Services, according to an April 30 email from the department to Orr Construction, is to put a white edge line along Vine to better define the street for truck drivers, and to install "No Parking Anytime" signs on the south side of 44th Avenue west of Vine.
Aldridge responded to the traffic services department in an email, saying its idea "doesn't solve the problem" because such a line likely won't be enforced, and won't stop trucks from disobeying stop signs, and blocking streets and intersections.
Neighbors also are upset that Purina is allowed to use the 44th and Vine land, even though it lacks required improvements such as lighting, curbs and gutters, fencing and better access.
Purina has a permit to use the parcel, but the company still hasn't finished plans for required improvements, according to the city. "Once the new site is fully constructed, it will change the flow of traffic in and out of the plant. … When their plan is in effect, Public Works will pave the area and do other improvements like adding no-parking signs," said Christine Downs, Denver Public Works spokeswoman.
Downs said paving is scheduled for this summer.
Orr and his father, Jim Orr, sued Purina last year for failing to comply with a 1991 agreement related to truck traffic around the Orr Construction property. The agreement was part of a sale of property on Vine Street by the Orrs to Purina.
The Denver District Court suit ended in a settlement, whereby both parties pledged to abide by the agreement, and was closed last December, according to the court's dismissal order. But Purina continues to violate the agreement, according to the Orrs.
"As I look out of my office and see a Purina truck parked out front, I have to say they're not abiding by the settlement agreement," Jim Orr said on the afternoon of May 4.

The hiring process was a simple online application like most things, but when you actually got an interview it was a group setting. I had three other people at mine with all fashion degrees, I was a first year engineering major. I landed the job and they didn't. It was a bizarre set up and I think the only reason I landed a job was because I found a similarity between me and the manager.Interview Questions

I applied online, completed an assessment, and received a call for an interview a couple of days later. I had an interview with the co manager and with one other candidate (group interview). The questions were very general, Tell me about yourself, Why Express, Tell me about your past employer, tell me about a time you handled an unhappy customer, and what kind of customer service would you like when you shop in a store. She opened the floor for questions and asked for a reference. I had a reference page printed out for her and it was very helpful that I did when my first reference didnt answer she had two others to contact. She told us we have the opportunity to become permanent if we perform well and described the culture there. She informed us that she would be in contact with our references the next day and we would hear from her by the next two days. About 30 minutes after I left I received a call offering the position and scheduling orientation. I also wore the brand to the interview and she instantly recognized it as well as other associates in the store so I would wear it if you can. I dressed professionally.Interview Questions

First impressions are everything, so definitely show your personal style and appreciation for the brand/fashion by dressing up to the interview…since I didn't have prior retail experience I was asked to list references (yes, they actually do call them!) Also, in my opinion you have a leg up against other applicants if you apply IN STORE, on the paper application and turn it into the hiring manager so that you can introduce yourself/put a name to face when it comes to interview time…also, depends on when/what season you apply but the hiring process was very quick…wasn't really much of a process since I did all of the above mentioned.Interview Questions

A word from Vesta Dipping Grill
Vesta, the Goddess of the Hearth, is the most beautiful of Roman divinities, bright and pure like the flame that is her symbol. Latins made Vesta a goddess who personified the earth and fire. She presided over the preparation of meals: Vesta was offered the first food and drink. The hearth conjures up visions of domesticity and peace, for the hearth is the traditional center of family life. It symbolizes warmth, security, and companionship a place for dreaming where it becomes possible by peering into the embers, to find physical and mental renewal and a place to discover the secrets of the future. At Vesta Dipping Grill, we have combined these themes to provide a unique dining experience. Vesta is simplicity, quality, comfort, life, art, scent, relaxation, taste, sound, and fun.Continued

- Great evening at Vesta Dipping GrillOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/21/2014Although on the list for years, this was our first visit with company from Canada. Excellent choice! The staff was extremely hard working and knowledgeable. The food was uniformly delicious. Although noisy like most of the restaurants in this area, we could still hold a conversation. We would highly recommend it.Special Features:
- It was a great experience.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014It was a fun experience. We enjoyed picking three sauces. I would have liked if they asked after we got the sauces if there was any we didn't like and would want to switch. But overall the food was good and it was a fun experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- High end dining in a casual atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/18/2014The service at Vesta from start to finish was outstanding, not overbearing but always at the ready when we were. Our server, Patrick, was very knowledgable about EVERYTHING on the menu. The noise level was perfect - we could easily carry on our conversation. The atmosphere is comfortable and casual without being too laid back so as to be sloppy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Been while, won't go backOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/18/2014Food was blah. Drinks were blah. Service was just ok. Ordered the ahi app which was supposed to be seared... cooked through. I had the pork, wife the tenderloin. Just ok and the dipping sauces were bland. Service was ok. Restaurant half full, we had a reservation for two. Despite many open tables, we were for some reason offered a table by the kitchen, then another by the wait station... odd. Waiter was ok, but getting drinks seemed to take a minute. Bar was not busy. Tried a couple of the specialty drinks, really boring.
- tazbergyDined on 11/15/2014Fantastic food, great staff. They were very accomodating when we told them we had show tickets.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/14/2014The food and service here is top noch. The food is unique and so delicious. The reason why I gave this place 4 stars because twice my meat was not cooked correctly. After the second time, I was so hungry that I ate it anyways but still tasty. The waiter gave us free dessert for it. I have been raving Vesta Dipping Grill to my friends for days. Will for sure return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic dinner!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/14/2014My favorite restaurant in Denver. Been there five times. Each was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ann1Ann1Dined on 11/13/2014Our server was outstanding - knowledgeable, interested, enthusiastic. Didn't hover but was there when we needed answers or service. He made the experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014Restaurant was loud and very small/narrow, tables are placed to close together. Food was delicious..... It has more of an urban feel... Not romantic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/8/2014Wonderful service and food. They treated us very well and everyone loved their meal.Special Features:
- A very good and modern place to eatDonnyIVDined on 11/7/2014Located downtown in the city. Very vibrant and energetic. Great place to bring a date or group of friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over PricedChrissyDined on 11/7/2014I was very disappointed. I ordered the special (rib eye steak) and it was horribly overcooked and dinky. The sauces were yummy. The service was excellent. It was way over priced for what we got.
- Tasty but ConfusingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/7/2014Great space - nice aesthetic. Great service from all (wait staff and wine). Food was really good too but the dipping sauce thing didn't make ANY sense. We had the filet and the risotto fish dish. More details: Filet was perfectly cooked. Came with a wonderful red wine reduction and mushroom sauce which was appropriately poured over the meat. It also came with three dipping sauces. My question is this - with a really amazing red wine/mushroom sauce already complimenting (and covering) the steak, why have three added sauces? If slightly confused by sauces with the filet, I was dumbfounded by sauces with fish dish - a white fish with lobster risotto (perfect) and a saffron broth. NO WAY did this need a sauce! Silly!Special Features:
- Good, different mealJonInDallasDined on 11/6/2014Good and not great. Read many of the reviews on TripAdvisor and I think I was expecting a little more from the main meal. The pork belly appetizer was amazingly good, but the rest of the meal was just good. Really liked the dipping sauce idea and they have about 18 or so to choose from. The pork tenderloin was just too small, and the duck was scorched on the outside; generally ruining the flavor of the meat and dipping sauces.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic?OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/6/2014This was advertised as romantic but the rock music (rolling stones) did not lend itself to what I'd consider a romantic spot. The attention from the staff and manager was exceptional. He offered us any recipe we wanted. The food was delicious.Special Features:
- Vesta's Strength is in Its ServiceShopgirlDined on 11/5/2014Vesta Dipping Grill attracted me because of the volume of positive reviews on Yelp. While Vesta did a great job of making us feel welcome and having a tight system in place, I would have to say that for the amount being charged for a plate ($30-40) I was not that impressed. The portions were small. In restaurants I usually cannot finish a whole meal, but for the price, I was surprised at how small they were. I feel like Vesta could step it up a notch with their dishes. I feel they rely too heavily on their sauces and not the dishes themselves. Our server was warm and knowledgeable and the food runners as well. There seemed to be a good sense of comradery there, which is a huge part of the experience. Overall, a pretty good night.Special Features:
- Better shared with friends!BrilliantDined on 11/1/2014We have been here a couple times and enjoy the ambiance, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and great food. The general atmosphere encourages great conversation and laughter. Although it would be great for a romantic dinner, we always want to share with friends and family!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As alwaysCaptKirkDined on 10/30/2014We have been there multiple times and it is always excellent. My wife is celiac and it is the only restaurant we have ever been to that has a celiac menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yum!elgieVIPDined on 10/29/2014Awesome, as usual. Just very disappointed that the tuna entree was taken off the menu :-(Special Features:
- Loved everything, price a bit highDoverWineGuyDined on 10/29/2014An eclectic menu-I had the venison which was superb. The dipping sauce concept is fun and makes for a unique experience. Fantastic wine list. Service was great. Just thought the $30-$40 entree price was a tad high. Overall a great place to eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic experience!KKBBVIPDined on 10/28/2014Fantastic food with many options for for seafood and steak lovers alike. The sauces add an element of fun and interesting flavors to accompany the meal. Recommended it to colleague and reserved him a table the next day and they took a group of 6 of our key oil and gas customers and they also raved about it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Service Innovative GrilllschluterDined on 10/28/2014Vesta Dippling Grill proved an excellent choice to meet a business colleague for dinner. Everything we tried was exceptional. Remarkable creativity underlies this innovative menu, and that wine list is awesome. Our waiter had a breathtaking knowledge of the sauces. I wonder if their server training leads to a degree!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Personal touchNoisyPearlVIPDined on 10/26/2014Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Each person wished our granddaughter happy birthday. Dinner was lovely.Special Features:
- Outstanding!DrDHDined on 10/25/2014All of my experiences at Vesta Dipping Grill have been top notch! The food is out of this world and the service will blow you away!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good and unique experiencemtdmdDined on 10/25/2014Had never tried a dipping venue and wasn't disappointed. Tried some of their non alcoholic drinks which seemed watered down. The platter dipping appetizer was diverse and delicious as well as the roasted garlic for the bread. We ordered the steak and pork loin and we're very pleased with the presentation and taste. The items were cooked to our liking and our water glasses never left empty. Will return when back in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Flavors!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/25/2014From the wine to the sauces to the perfectly-prepared entrees, this place is a favorite of ours for special occasions. A little pricey, so we can't go too often, but you wouldn't want to get 'used' to this place anyway... completely different and wonderful.Special Features:
- Exceeded expectations!!!Passion4foodDined on 10/24/2014This place lived up to everybody's positive reviews. It even exceeded my expectations. Great atmosphere, mouth watering food, a little pricey but worth every dollar. This is now one of my favorite places and I can't wait to go back!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/21/2014It was a very relaxing evening. The wine was good & the food was excellent. I would like to go back & try some different dips. We live approx. 100 miles East of Denver & it was worth the trip!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/18/2014We were so impressed with our waiter. He answered all our question we had on all our meals, his recommendations were fabulous, the food was incredible. We were a few minutes late for our reservation and the hosts weren't the least bit annoyed with us as some restaurants/workers can be. I will recommend to ANYONE I know that is heading to Denver.Special Features:
- Great hostess, decent serviceGFNMDined on 10/17/2014Got a great table thanks to the hostess reading (and actually caring!) about my OpenTable-comment request. Service and recommendations were good, though the correct sauces were not delivered with the meal, and I was almost done eating before this was fixed. At a place where the sauces are the primary selling feature (and even part of the name), I was disappointed this took so much time and trouble to fix.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/17/2014Love this place. The vegetarian option is always amazing and I'm not a vegetarian! I don't think we've ever had a bad meal here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful experience!MileHighDined on 10/16/2014Not only do they present a great menu, with a wide variety from which to choose, but service is excellent! Nick Knight is especially engaging and always has a warm smile, ready to welcome all customers. Nick is the reason we love to go to Vista. We have, and will continue to highly recommend Vista to our friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful EveningMrchip56Dined on 10/14/2014From the staff to the look and feel of the room to the delicious food, our night at Vesta was wonderful. We'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A little pricey but worth itOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/11/2014If you love dipping sauces and well prepared meats and cheeses then this place is for you. I had the salmon and tried 4 of their dipping sauces, substituting a couple of my own choices from the chefs choices. Every sauce tasted great and the salmon was cooked to perfection, would absolutely recommend anyone to give Vesta a try for a special occasion or for a fun night out with some delicious food.Special Features:
- ReservationJonRDined on 10/10/2014I checked reservations on OpenTable and found that a 5:15 appointment was the only thing available until after 8. An early appointment was what we were looking for, but 5:15 was a little earlier than we wanted. When we left VDG after 7pm, there were still PLENTY of open tables available. Not sure what the problem was here, but if you depend on OpenTable for reservations, let's make sure it represents your availability.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous FoodfrozenhockeymomDined on 10/4/2014I made reservations based on their Celiac/glutton free menus and recommendations from friends. Every course was delicious. We each tried a different entree to share and loved all of the sauces. Next time I will split my entree so I have more room for the yummy desserts.Special Features:
- Great food!NancyDined on 10/4/2014Best scallop dish I believe I have ever had! Everyone in the party was pleased with their selections as well.Special Features:
- Birthday dinner for my girlfriendBirthdayreviewDined on 10/4/2014The restaurant was accommodating to my requests that we have a romantic spot and even surprised us with birthday champagne. The good was excellent, the service was knowledgeable and timely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always satisfies!LoneTreeDocDined on 10/4/2014Vestas always comes through for that special occasion! Always new sauces that are exciting and delicious along with the usual favorites. Our first choice for anniversaries or when special guests come to visit us.Special Features:
- Great experienceStefDined on 10/4/2014We had a large group, including two kids, and our whole dinner experience was great. The service was fantastic...very attentive and knowledgable servers, and the food arrived quickly. I was particularly impressed with the kids' meals. They were reasonably priced and the dinners included an appetizer, entree and dessert. The kids' food was very tasty also.Special Features:

MyObject : NSObject
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *name;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *notificationsArray;
I have an array of MyObjects in my tableView that can be edited for name, time of the notification, etc. Currently, I have it setup so when the user presses Save, the current MyObject gets saved to my DataManager's myObjectArray.
DataManager : NSObject
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *myObjectArray;
I call my method in the DataManager to loop through that MyObject instance to schedule the notifications for that MyObject.
I think this would be ok, until the user clicks on one of the MyObjects to edit the time and then I need to reschedule the notifications for that object only. I know you can get
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduledNotifications];
But from this, I don't know which notifications went for which object. So in this scenario, is it better to cancel all notifications for my entire app, and then loop through myObjectArray in the DataManager, for each MyObject instance, and schedule the notifications for each object that way?

I have a statically linked application binary that links against multiple user libraries and the pthread library. The application only uses a limited set of functions from each of these libraries. From a previous post Size of a library and the executable and from my experiments I realize that the linker only includes functions(in the executable) that are used/needed and not the entire contents of library.
I want to find out which functions from each of the respective libraries are linked to the executable and their addresses (VMA). Ultimately I want to compile a list that contains the start and the end Virtual Memory Addresses (VMAs) for the each of the libraries based on the functions (in the library) that are mapped to the text segment.
One approach to do this is to make a list of functions in the library and then look for each of these functions in the executable and the corresponding Virtual Memory address it is mapped to. But this seems rather tedious to me. Is there a simpler way to accomplish this? Thanks.

The census: are reports of the death of religion just being exaggerated?
You can be religious in the traditional sense, but not follow conventional traditions. The census should have asked about community.
It is unlikely that if he were alive today, Mark Twain would have seen fit to comment on the results of the 2011 British census, esteemed survey though it is.
But to misquote him, are reports of the death of religion being greatly exaggerated?
At first glance, the results appear to confirm that in Britain, faith is no longer fashionable. Asked for the second time in census history "what is your religion", fewer respondents said that they had one. Although Britain is still predominantly Christian, since 2001 the numbers identifying as such have dropped by 13 percentage points, down by four million.
While the numbers identifying as each of Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist or Jewish either rose or remained largely consistent, more than a quarter of respondents said they had no religion, up from 14.8 per cent ten years ago.
When surveys or news stories point to a supposed threat to religious life in this country – the Scouting oath being adapted for atheists, for example - the doomsayers tend to warn that society as we know it is on the verge of breakdown; that the community structure that helped make Britain great is collapsing with no word on its replacement.
Perhaps in another decade we will be a country of faithless degenerates, with no moral code or appreciation of compassion. Or perhaps we will be as we are today – but defining our identities differently to past generations.
When I filled out my census form, I responded that my religion was "Jewish". It was a fairly simple question – I grew up as part of the Anglo-Jewish community and continue to live much of my life within it. But if the census had demanded that I dig deeper – for example, if it had questioned how actively observant I was, or whether I believed in every word of the scriptures, or even in God - it would have required further consideration.
Religion, at least in Western tradition, is and always has been about those things – sin, divine truth, posthumous judgment and so on – but it is has long been about much more besides. For me, and for many day to day adherents, religion is less about the wording of ancient texts or attending formal services, and more about tradition, lifestyle and community, and the centrality of values such as kindness and respect.
A decline in formal identification of religion points not at all to a decline in living good and meaningful lives; the Victorian conflation of faith and lifestyle surely no longer applies.
You can be religious in the traditional sense, yet use your religious identity as a basis to be intolerant or divisive (for example to justify the oppression of women) and likewise you can scoff at the idea of a man on a cloud in the sky, but still accept and advance the moral guidelines that happen to be promoted by religious thought. You certainly don't have to believe in the truth of a religion to appreciate its teachings about how to live your life.
Without a population that places weight on such values, we might have cause to fear for the future. But there's no reason to assume that the census results mean the core teachings of religion are on course to disappear. Look no further than the clean-up after the London riots – organised not in a formal hall of worship but via social media – or the many street parties held for the Jubilee, to see the community spirit alive and well in Britain.
There are many benefits to being part of a faith community. But it comes down to definitions – what do we mean by "religion" and how do we define "identify". The census asked about religious identification as a label – not whether citizens believe in the value of community, or support the general ideas advanced by different faiths. If it had asked the latter, I suspect we'd be a lot more "religious".

Written in Dickensian prose, This House Is Haunted is a striking homage to the classic 19-century ghost story. Set in Norfolk in 1867, Eliza Caine responds to an ad for a governess position at Gaudlin Hall.
When she arrives at the hall, shaken by an unsettling disturbance that occurred during her travels, she is greeted by the two children now in her care, Isabella and Eustace. There is no adult present to represent her mysterious employer, and the children offer no explanation.
Later that night in her room, another terrifying experience further reinforces the sense that something is very wrong. From the moment Eliza rises the following morning, her every step seems dogged by a malign presence that lives within Gaudlin's walls. Eliza realizes that if she and the children are to survive its violent attentions, she must first uncover the hall's long-buried secrets and confront the demons of its past.
Clever, captivating, and witty, This House Is Haunted is pure entertainment with a catch.

"A perfect, shivery gothic tale." (Booklist)
"Well Read - Not Very Scary, Had Promise"
Alison Larkin is a delight. She was perfect and the main reason I kept going. The story begins quite deliciously. The sightings and hints of ghosts have great promise, but we never hear of these initial ghostly appearances again. The actual haunting seemed heavily influenced by special efffects in Hollywood movies, which was a shame. It was easy to figure out who the ghosts were and this took away from the chilling effect. I also think the main character's stoic, resigned, not very scared acceptance of her situation was over played. The children were creepy. However, as I said at the beginning of this review, Ms. Larkin was delightful and perfect so,I kept listening. She makes the credit well worth it.
"Truly Chilling !!"
I do this the audio version is better. The narrators english accent and abilities to change voices/accents for each character really brought this story to life.
I loved the trip back in time, also loved the great detail. it really brought the story to life.
My favourite scene was when Eliza takes her trip with the children into london. It really made you feel sympathy for the well being of the children. And not to mention all the creepy haunting parts! but cant give away to much!
A guilt-stricken young woman finds herself as a caregiver for 2 children at an estate that has more to hide then anyone could have ever assumed.
I just really hope everyone listens to this book and falls in love with it the way i did.

"This Book Is Dreadful"
Friends have been telling me I need to read John Boyne for years, so I looked forward to the experience. Having finished "This House Is Haunted," I could scarcely be more disappointed.
The first three chapters could be cut as they only introduce irrelevant backstory. Removing overwritten passages of description and scenes in which nothing happens to advance the story would bring it down to the size of a novella. Even then, the plot is so contrived and predictable that it would not be worth reading.
The most aggravating things about this book are the modern attitudes, speech patterns, and social customs that permeate every chapter of the book. These "intrusions" continuously break the attempt to create a fictional dream of the past and are as jarring as a sneezing fit during a chamber concert.
Also, I found it hard to believe the author had spent any time with real children, even precocious or eccentric children, of any century.
Alison Larkin is a charming narrator, but even she could not bring life to these wooden characters.
Delightful, entertaining, enjoyable
Yes! This book was delightful! I loved the narrator who portrayed the story quite well. I especially loved the writer's use of the "Old" English word usage.
The governess
"Suspenseful and Atmospheric"
Beautifully written, Victorian gothic/ghost story. I was a little let down with the ending, but it was unsettling, and maybe that's the desired result ? No question, though, that John Boyne is a fabulous writer !
"Very good"
I enjoyed this listen, the story was good and kept me interested. The narrator was great. I listened to the whole thing in one day!
A good read
The characters were very good. Ill be thinking of them for a while.
The arrival at the house.
The last few chapters.
A nice relaxing read. Really kept my attention the whole book.

Terex Port Solutions supplies hybrid straddle carriers to the Bahamas
Terex Port Solutions (TPS) has received an order for ten Terex® NSC 634 E ECO straddle carriers from Freeport Container Port (FCP), which is part of Hutchison Port Holdings, with an option to purchase an additional 12 machines. From May of this year, the straddle carriers will be in operation at the FCP terminal on Grand Bahama Island. They can stack 9'6'' high-cube containers 1-over-2 and, to enable high handling rates, have lifting capacities of up to 60 t under the spreader coupled with maximum travel speeds of 30 kph. An outstanding feature of the Terex NSC E ECO straddle carrier is its hybrid drive system, consisting of both a diesel-powered generator and electrostatic short-term storage media, which results in significantly reduced fuel consumption and exhaust emissions compared to a traditional drive system.
"For some years, Terex hybrid straddle carriers have proven their worth in everyday cargo handling", reports Guido Luini, Managing Director of Terex Port Solutions in Würzburg. "The fact that we have received this order from Freeport Container Port for a fleet of machines equipped
with this technology is confirmation of the great acceptance for it and, at the same time, of our leading position in this segment of the market."
The preferred ecological and economic choice Twenty-five diesel-hydraulic Terex NSC 644 H straddle carriers are already in use in the Freeport
terminal. As FCP gradually expands its terminal, it is placing particular emphasis on the cost effectiveness and environmentally compatible operation of the handling machines used. In view of this approach, it was, according to Luini, logical that the customer ordered Terex Straddle Carriers with hybrid drives.
The leader in straddle carrier hybrid drive technology Terex Port Solutions has played a key role in developing straddle carriers: from diesel-mechanical machines to diesel-hydraulic and now diesel-electric drive technology, which has led to the hybrid drive. In this type of drive, excess energy recovered during braking and lowering motions is stored in transient storage media (consisting of high-performance capacitors, or ultracaps) and then used for the next straddle carrier work cycle. This technology means that load surges on the primary energy source, being usually a diesel-generator set, can be mitigated while allowing it to run in a smoother, energy efficient manner.
According to operators, they see an immediate benefit with up to 20% less fuel consumed by Terex straddle carriers with hybrid drives compared to conventional, economical diesel-electric drives, depending on terminal and operating conditions. Hybrid operators also reported reduced
exhaust gas and noise emissions in the terminal.
Terex focuses on customer benefits – sustainable electric drive technology Terex Port Solutions is committed to electric drive systems. "Electric energy offers the best efficiency rating, high potential for deploying more energy-efficient technologies and the full advantage of renewable energy sources. This is why, wherever it makes sense, TPS cargo handling machines are offered with solutions for using power from the harbour mains," explains Luini. "For our mobile machines, such as straddle carriers, which cannot be hooked up to external power, we offer drive variants with hybrid technology based on diesel-electric systems. In its latest development, TPS has produced battery-powered automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for horizontal container transport."
"In view of our goal to provide solutions in line with our customers' environmental visions, the order from Freeport Container Port for innovative hybrid straddle carriers confirms that our drive systems are on the right road towards the sustainable operation of future-orientated cargo-handling machines," concludes Luini.
