little bit disappointing, possibly because serum is a product that just doesn't really feel right without silicone. Anyway, I picked up a bottle of the Curl Tamer Styling Mousse a few months ago, and am finding that it's not a disappointment at all.
I used to love mousse - dispensing a golf-ball sized ball (why was it always a golf ball?) into my palm, raking it through my hair, and then ending up with perfectly defined but utterly crispy curls. I never really minded the crispiness really, it was pretty easy to scrunch out. Since going silicone free though, I've found it hard to locate a silicone free mousse with hold, and I had high hopes that this one would be the answers to my crispy crunchy prayers.
This mousse isn't really in the same category - in fact, I'd probably call it more of a foam than a mousse. You certainly can't dispense a golf-ball shaped ball into your hand, as it comes forth from the bottle in a light froth. Two pumps is enough to adequately coat my hair, which is fairly thick and a coupla inches below my shoulders. I've been scrunching it into my hair from the ends upwards, and have found that it definitely does help to define and hold the curl in my hair as it dries, without leaving a trace of crispiness.
It also plays very well with other products, and being Naked and silicone free, is incredibly light - you can barely feel it in the hair once it's been applied. There's also no build up, and I've had no ill affects from reapplying a tiny amount to my dry hair in order to tame a bit of wayward frizz, or from applying a bit more halfway through the air drying process.
While it does help to define and hold the curl, there are a few conditions. It needs to be scrunched in, and once applied, it works best if you don't touch the hair at all. A little bit of scrunching is OK, but when I touch my hair too much after application, I find that the effects are cancelled out.
Overall, this product, while not totally lifechanging, has become a firm part of my hair styling regime. I love the lack of buildup, the lightness, and the way that it leaves the hair feeling soft, not crunchy. I will be repurchasing for sure. If you'd like to try this one for yourself, you can get it from Boots.com or Boots stores, at the wallet friendly price of £3.99 for 15ml.

Review: Naked Curl Tamer Styling Mousse

Ooh, that's good to know. I picked this up a while back in my quest to find something I can whack in my hair to encourage the natural curls/waves for days when I CBA to blow dry but I haven't tried it yet.ReplyDelete
I hope it works out as well for you as it does for me!ReplyDelete
I personally find curling mouses to sticky and go for a volume one on my curls. Do not want flat hair at the top and a granny mess as the bottom. vo5 is great and cheap, non sticky and comes out like whipped cream. Though I hate crap in my products, I made an exception with this product. It compares to Loreal Professional volume mouse and thats great stuff but very expensive. Sometimes a barrel brush my hair into big lose curls and this adds massive volume and shine.ReplyDelete

Need sushi rec in Charlotte NC
any suggestions for fresh - Authentic- sushi?
re: ickymettle
I was sad to hear of their closing also. They were not open very long and they did have some good sushi.(amongst some other dishes as well)
I don't know how authentic this is but my friends and I went to New Zealand Cafe on Sardis road the last time I was in Charlotte and it was pretty good. But they are really small interior. I think they had maybe 6 bar style tables and then 2 tables for larger parties. Then maybe 4 at the sushi bar. There are 2 sushi chefs so it does take some time. We had went at 8:15 on a Friday night and probably wasn't seated till almost 9. But they constantly had customers the entire time we were there.
re: vttp926
This place is on my list also to recommend for great sushi. Another one of those I would have drove right by if it was not for a recommendation. It is very , very small so it can be hit or miss for a wait if you want a table.
Authentic might be a problem... Nikko has great sushi, but it is more a modern dance club than sushi bar...
I would recommend Sushi 101 - good prices and great fish.
re: friek
I am a fan of MUSASHI JAPANESE RESTAURANT , 10110 JOHNSTON RD STE ,
( 704 ) 543 - 5181. I think they are the most authentic Japanese restaurant in town and have the very best sushi. They draw a large Japanese clientele. . I alway figure this is an excellent indicator of quality and authenticity.
re: GodfatherofLunch
Is Musashi the place that has a private room on the left when you walk in? If so, this is actually the place I was thinking rather than Mizuho - I always get the names mixed up.
re: ickymettle
I definitely second Koishi. It's great sushi... but it is in an old Pizza Hut, so if you are looking for atmosphere and ambiance this is not your place.
re: Chocolate Toe
I wasn't that impressed by Koish - the fish was fresh and good, but the pieces were really small and the rice was hard and not tasty. I will say the servers were great, and the prices were fine. It just seemed to lack that flavorable punch of really good sushi.
Cuisine Malaya - Yuck. At the insistence of my girlfriend, we ate there. I have nothing good to say about it. I will never go there again.
Nikko - Perhaps because I live right near there, that is my go to sushi place. But, I believe it has some the best sushi I've eaten in Charlotte. I've had the occasional bad meal there, but 7 out of 8 times, it's pretty good. Yes, it can be 'dance-club-ish". yes, that's word. Yes, it's busy. The fact they are busy all the time has lead to some bad meals for me. But, think about it this way - busy means turn over, and turn over means fresh fish. I've enjoyed everything that I've had there, I would just not go on a Friday or saturday night. The best time I ever went was on a Sunday.
Avoid Ru Sans at all cost. Cheap and Sushi just should not be used in the same sentence.
I'll admit I have not tried Sushi 101, but have heard mixed reviews. I should go there soon and figure out an answer.
Yama in South Park was good. Not incredible, but very far from bad. It's a middle of the road recommendation.
Jade in Ballantyne was pretty good too, although a bit of a drive.
I think Mizuho is fantastic. In fact, I'm eating there tonight. The sushi is excellent, made with fresh high-quality fish. They have changing specials, which is where I see a lot of traditional Japanese options. It is also frequented by Japanese, if that means anything to you.
Oh and its not really on 51. Its between 51 and Johnston. In the back area of the McMullen Creek shopping center (same area as Viet-Thai). I recommend trying it if you're going to Musashi but don't mind spending a few more dollars.
Just an update. I went to Nikko a few nights ago. i haven't been in several months. Anyway, it was really, really good. I tried some new things and was very impressed. So, again, I recommend Nikko.

Julie Benz Bids Farewell to Rita, Dexter Viewersby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
In the days following the Dexter season four finale, we've heard from show producers and show stars such as John Lithgow and Michael C. Hall.
Everyone had a lot to say about Rita's shocking death, but fans have been waiting all week to hear from Julie Benz herself. How did she react when told of her character's demise? Will Rita turn into a ghost?
E! News asked these questions, and many more, of the actress. Her candid replies are below...
On any kind of return: "There has been no talk of me coming back to the series in any way. A lot of people have been begging me to tell them that I'm going to come back, and I'm like, 'Rita's dead!' Rita is dead and Trinity killed her... I don't think it could get any more obvious that Trinity killed Rita. Rita is dead."
On reaction to her death scene: "The death was such a graphic image... When they first told me I was dying, they didn't tell me how I was dying... I did feel anger about them taking this innocent, sweet woman in such a violent and terrifying way - which we know from the woman in the bathtub in the first episode.
"We know we're making a TV show, but you see a little baby and fake blood, and it was still a very disturbing image. But it's a poetic way to go because it's a direct reflection of Dexter as a child and there's poetry in that if you can get past that, which I think is what they were going for."
On joining another show: "I love FlashForward, Grey's Anatomy, Mad Man, 30 Rock. I'd love to be a part of a show where they don't think it's cool to kill me!"
On what's ahead on Dexter: "I assume Astor and Cody will go with their grandparents, but what about Harrison? I know that one option is to have them jump ahead in time. They have the option of taking the story creatively wherever they want.
"But of course I worry about Harrison. The first thing I said when they told me about Rita's death was, 'What about the children?!' I felt like a real mother, and I will be tuning in to make sure that Harrison is taken care of."
So will we. We also wish Benz the best of luck in her next career step. She should have no trouble finding work, that's for sure.

This is to the comment made by "Sickening"
I just have a couple questions. Did you like the other seasons of Dexter? I'm assuming you did considering you watched the show up until its most recent season. So in this case, what is the problem with the child sitting in fake blood for Rita's death, as opposed to Dexter's mom's death, where him and his brother were found in an inch or so thick of blood? Does it make a difference that Dexter's baby is younger? or do you just not recall that you have seen children in blood MANY MANY MANY times during this show? I think for you to make such a critical remark on a very poetic, ironic, yet emotional scene is poorly deserved, especially when the SAME THING has been shown, REPEATEDLY, to you throughout every season.
No offense, but you obviously did not think it through.
I just discovered Dexter and have watched two seasons in as many weeks. I was horrified when I heard that Rita was killed off the show as I enjoyed Dexter becoming a bit more human and not so alienated. Remember I just started Season 3. To kill off this character, who never got a break in life, is hugely disappointing to me. That and I love Julie Benz. I will finish Season 3 and stop watching.
I thought this scene was shocking and in terribly bad taste. It left me hoping that they did not REALLY sit that poor screaming actor child in fake blood in such an awful scene. I think that is ethically wrong and I hope they used some serious special effects to get this right, because sitting a tiny child in such a disgusting scene is just shocking. People can disconnect from a show because they know it is not real, but in this case (as with the scenes of Dexter and his brother previously), I really hope these scenes are special effects. Who knows what psychological impact this could have on a child? That aside, the show is now dead to me too. They killed Dexter's humanity who was represented in Rita. Now, to me, he is just another serial killer. If it was real life, I'd want to see him on death row now - because I don't believe he has a stable figure in his life to help him control his dark side. She also drew a different audience and appeal that otherwise will be disinterested. I think the writers have made a big mistake. Good luck, I expect season 5 will be the last unless they work some kind of writers miracle.
Look I was sad too. But when it comes down to it, that was brilliant. The poetic justice was awesome. I have been a fan since season one and didn't know what would happen for season five until! whamo she is gone. She is so sweet and innocent that it makes sense. Tear jerking and shock and awe effect was awesome. Can't wait till season five. And season four finale was way better than season three.
what a f***** up ending! season four was the worst, dexter lost his swagger it took too many shows to kill trinity and i hope they have some good ideas for season five or just arrest him and end it
Julie Benz is a great actress - loved her since Roswell, Buffy, and Angel. But I hated Rita and am quite glad the character's dead. Looking forward to Julie's next gig (not FlashForward Julie!! It won't last!)
I cried real hard when I saw the part where Rita, (Julie Benz) dead in the bathtub and her little baby crying on the side. Rita was sooo sweet and such a great Mother. I really love you Julie and have a great success in other shows. (I know you will) So glad that you are really alive.

Installation was very easy and there is a very well documented page for the starters.
It was a bit difficult to understand in the beginning because of the many features that it has but after that it was an excellent choice.
The support is very fast and accurate and answered(solved) a configuration issue extremely fast.
Active Helper support stuck with me and got it working. Their dedication to their products is what motivated me to write this review.
Now it is fun to watch the new visitors hit the site while I am working on other things.
After taking a trial period to play around with the possiblities and the new improved installable support panel, I just can say: This is the only and best solution for Joomla to get in contact with your visitors and future clients. Great value for your money!
It is really a very easy installation and if you still need help, Peter and his team will be here for you.
The support at ActiveHelper is outstanding fast and professional.
If they will release a Android version of the agent software, the overall system will be complete.
Peter has done an extraordinary job to put all this things together for a very reasonable price, with excellent service conditions. His customer support is also top class. All my needs and questions have been answered promptly, in full and with helpful attitude.
PC and MAC versions available, for the same price. Yeap, for the same price.
My best recommendation to this product. Two thumbs up!
Cons: It's almost perfect but I'm having a couple little bugs that aren't worth me contacting anyone in support yet. Overall it is great.
The installationproces is not that easy but it's doable for a joomla adept.
Great support from Peter! I had a few questions and he took care of it all.
I added it to my favorites and I'm gonna use it to my clients websites whenever possible.
Great work!!!
However, Peter has always given a speedy response and extremely helpful, (even on a Sunday).
I am glad I persisted with the install and setup for a couple of days. The time put in was really worth it.
The product works as advertised. I have it people set up on multiple site testing it before they purchase which they feel is the way all software should be.
It is also one of the best priced products I found.
Hats off to you guys and your hard work.
if a Joomla Veteran like me can't set up a component straight away then there's something not quite right.
Then, when I find the documentation and videos don't quite tell me everything they should and the screen shots are from older versions, well that's not ideal.
But, when I pay extra for dedicated support ($25 extra I think), only to find that the ONLINE INSTANT CHAT is always offline, and the Support Response is greater than 7 days... well that's just poor business.
On that basis, I just don't know how I could recommend this product to anyone.

Oracle duo pitch for Java's lifeblood
Execs from "the combined Sun and Oracle" tag-teamed at this year's EclipseCon to talk about the future of Java in a turn that was full of team spirit, but few details on Oracle's plans. Longtime Oracle face Steve Harris, senior vice president of the giant's application server group, was joined by the ex-vice president of Sun …
Java ME 6 please...
With this transition, now would be the time to drive a completely new route into the mobile sector with a new ME platform inline with Java SE. This drive into better modularity will help and we can start seeing capabilities that are inline with existing modern mobile solutions. For example, what about a native compilation option for micro devices like the iPhone so we don't need to pick up new languages or toolkits (I like Objective-C but I can hardly port that skill-set onto a meaningful RAD project on other non-Apple systems)?
Qt is a fine example of what can be achieved in desktop and mobile application development and was inspired by Java, so let's bring it back in. Mobile is where we'll lose the market if this revolution fails to break the whole vendor / OEM implementation issue with Java ME 1.4.
A colleage of mine has just started his Sun java architect exams and finds that most of the subsequent parts are set to TBD and put on hold ... anyone know what's going on here?
It's most likely something to do with certification and nothing to do with the platform itself. Oracle is probably reviewing how certification will work and that's created a moratorium for exam centers.
I actually would not have expected exam centers to be affected at this point, so it is a little puzzling.

How would you feel if you lost the person you love because you didn't know what to do to get them back?
People break up all the time – sometimes they both want to, but most of the time it leaves one or both people's lives shattered.
And the real question people often ask is 'is there anything I could do to get them back?'.
Often people don't know what to do and they end up in a spiral of misery.
Click on the image below to get instant access to the secrets!
People often end up saying or doing things that just don't get the desired response.
Worse still, they get desperate and end up pushing their ex even further away!
So the question is, what should you do if you really want to get your ex back?
Watch this video to find out some of the most powerful ways to get your ex back NOW!
Well, the truth is that some people do indeed get back with their ex. Rather than just sit around and think about how to deal with a break up, they take action to win the other person back.
And the truth is you can too – if you know the right steps to take!
You can get your ex back when you know the way – so don't waste time and follow this link now!
Of course, every relationship is different and there are many reasons people break up, but by modeling the results of people who succeed in getting back with the person they love, you give yourself the best chance of getting back together!
And if you could give yourself the best possible chance to get back with the person you love, wouldn't you want to do everything possible?
So we've been looking around for the best programs out there to help you get back with your ex and reviewed some of the most effective solutions to help you get back with your ex!.
I know a lot of people who just give up hope when their relationship doesn't work. And others who just blame the other person. At the end of the day neither of these strategies work if you really want to be happy.
The most important thing is having a deeper understanding of how people work – understanding men and women. This really puts you in the best chance of getting back the person your love – and even if it doesn't work it is certainly going to help you create a much happier and more fulfilling relationship in the future.
If you put the time in and learn from the best then nothing can stop you from having a great, fulfilling relationship that will last as long as you want!
So now is the time to take action. I know that in the past I have put things off thinking I would get around to them soon, but when it comes to building a great relationship it it all about taking the action you want right now so that you can have the deep and fulfilling relationships that you deserve to have in your life right now.

- Reservation issueOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/14/2014We had a reservation at 7pm. However no tables were available. We had to wait a half-hour before being seatedI would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Food and ServicePalleyDined on 11/13/2014This place is a neighborhood gem. Food is four level, Comprehensive menu. Excellent service. Primarily a Sports Bar so very noisy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- consistent!TORCVIPDined on 11/8/2014Consistency is a good thing for a restaurant.. dependable, they meet high expectations. I had the iceberg wedge - YUMMY!! full of calories I am sure, that is what makes it so good! I tried the short rib sliders, but I could only eat one after the huge salad - wish you could order a 1/4 wedge... I would just suggest adding a side bowl of sauce, it could have used a little dipping action. oh and the straight up, two olives kettle one martini - WAS great, just could have used an iced glass. I like mine ice cold.Special Features:
- Very good food - lots of screenslocalcoupleVIPDined on 11/1/2014The menu has many options that are consistently good. We go to Capers for the food. However, it's a sports bar/restaurant, so there are numerous screens which can be pretty distracting from an otherwise enjoyable dinner out.Special Features:
- Tasty DishesricktherulerDined on 10/27/2014Capers has a nice selection to choose from. I got a steak and it was done perfectly and my girlfriend got stroganoff, which she loved. The server was totally awesome; very friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Yummy!ScottSJDined on 10/21/2014Great food, a little pricey. Can be loud due to bar crowd.
- SuesueDined on 10/20/2014Food tasty and good quick service. More of a bar scene than restaurant with large TV screens.
- OutandaboutVIPDined on 10/4/2014Great casual dining. Food is very good. Not the typical sports bar fare.Special Features:
- EleanoreVIPDined on 9/25/2014Our first visit to Capers. The experience was so-so..nothing to rave about. Nothing was on a par with most of restaurants we attended.
- Good food but it was way too noisy.SandraDined on 9/25/2014Impossible to hear your neighbor. Extremely loud! We had to move twice -- yet, it did not seem like any table would be a good table for a quieter conversation.Special Features:
- Lots of good food choicesTryAlexandersVIPDined on 8/16/2014The menu is diverse and you can find good food for all members of your party. They have a good bar with talented bar keepers. Good find for a neighborhood restaurant.Special Features:
- Very Nice Neighborhood PlaceAmbieDined on 8/13/2014I have been coming to Capers for years, old and new management/menu. It's different these days, a little busier and noisier at dinner, but still wonderful staff, extremely friendly and pleasant, and accommodating. Good food; not gourmet, but perfectly fine. Lunch for a group was no problem for them at all - a good place with consistently attentive service. The bar is very pleasant, too.Special Features:
- No host on arrivalJudeDined on 8/5/2014Food was excellent-Baked orange roughy, salmon on spinach, scampi & Chinese chicken salad-everyone was happy! It was noisy; my elderly parents couldn't hear too well; but when the party behind us left, it was much better. Our only concern was waiting at the doorway without being acknowledged for a few minutes. Once the host arrived; we were seated immediately.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Sat early dinnerluv2earoutDined on 7/19/2014Had a early dinner after the show at 5 pm. Last time we went was around. 7 pm. The crowd was quiet. We could watch the game and enjoy our conversation and dinner. Was a nice time outSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good meal and servicemaui14Dined on 7/11/2014Had an extended family dinner. Service was prompt. We were seated immediately with our open table reservations. Extensive wine list and cocktailsSpecial Features:
- Good Services, Food Quality :(usshookDined on 6/28/2014The service is really good. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The food quality is fair, but it does not worth the price. The lamb shank was dried. The beef stroganoff was just odd. Instead of beef stew, they use sliced beef from probably chuck. They were chewy and tasteless. They also added so much slices of squash (more than the beef) in it. It was a pasta disc, it is not stroganoff. The best disc my party got was the French Dip. Again, I could get the same quality of the French Dip at someplace else at 3/4 of the price.
- Great for a date night!SuperDaveDined on 6/18/2014My Wife and I wanted to get out, so we came here for dinner. As always the food was great. you have to try the smoked salmon rotini! It's a little rich but once you try it, you're going to order it every time! Kind of a sports bar atmosphere but not quite...Give it a try, you'll like it.I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 6/15/2014Simply a horrible experience. They ignored our open table reservation and seated us 1 hour late. Hostess seated walk-ins without a reservation before us.
- Predictable in a good wayTORCVIPDined on 6/10/2014Been going here for years, it is always good.. Love Tuesday BOGO free martini! The best martinis.... Food is always very good. Will continue to there!Special Features:
- Capers is a safe betluckeygirlDined on 5/22/2014It's not an amazing dining experience - it's a sports bar in a strip mall, but the food was really great and the service was very good!!Special Features:
- Sports Bar ResturantPickyEaterDined on 5/17/2014Nice place to eat. Sports bar vibe. Menu is large with various choices. Great for parties.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OTPHAVIPDined on 5/16/2014Vegetarian options are good, however. Eggplant parm- terrible ; thin fried strips of eggplant in a heavy marinana sauce.Special Features:
- Service Service Service....InCognitoVIPDined on 5/11/2014We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation, they sat others that arrived and appeared to be known to the staff before us. The food was cold when it arrived. The Au gratin potato's were flavour less except on the top. The veggies were cold, the steak was cold. Doubt the family will come back here. It's a regular joint masquerading as a up scale joint.
- mothers dayOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 5/11/2014I know it was Mother's Day, but they should be prepared for that. We got there and they didn't have our table ready. We decided to eat outside after waiting a while because we didn't see people leaving soon. We didn't have silverware for a long time even after asking twice. We didn't even have silverware after some of the food had arrived. The waitress was very nice. I know it was busy, but it is annoying when you make a reservation and then cannot sit down. The food was very good. I just wouldn't recommend going there for mothers day.
- Not impressed.UsuallyEasy2PleaseDined on 5/11/2014The food was poor (lacking in flavour) and most portions were small, and all arrived very late and cold. My wife's piece of fish was tiny. My prime rib, although not small, was neither tender nor did it have much flavour. Service was extremely slow and the waitress rarely came to our table. The prices were really not justified by the food or the service, we won't be going back.
- Great ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/11/2014We went here on Mother's Day. I had very low expectations because of my previous experience working in the industry on is day. It is always so chaotic! However, we were seated in a timely manner and greeted quickly. There were tons of choices. Our food was great and so was the service. I would definitely go back!Special Features:
- Bad brunchZenDinerMomVIPDined on 5/11/2014No mention of prix fixe menu when we made a reservation for Mother's Day Brunch. We called to change the number in our party and there was no record of it. Servers were friendly and food came fast but my seafood scramble was cold and under-seasoned. Entrees were way overpriced. No options for kids or lighter appetites. Nothing special to acknowledge the mothers.
- Too much $ for too little foodeatouterDined on 5/11/2014Went to Capers for Mother's Day to find they had a special menu. We had two different egg dishes - on both the eggs were poached perfectly but the ham on one dish, and the size of the crab cake on the other were minuscule. The potatoes weren't hot, and when one of the people in our party complained, they did bring her a new order of potatoes. The side of fruit was a joke - in a dish that is usually used for salad dressing or some other kind of sauce - in fact the hollandaise ordered on the side was in the same size dish. The service was good and the waitress attentive. The noise level was high, especially if you were seated near the open kitchen. Considering the size of the portion, the cost was way out of line. Would not recommend.Special Features:
- Reservation was only in namesakeDiscerningDinerDined on 5/9/2014I don't think making a reservation at this restaurant makes any difference. Even with a reservation we had to wait for almost an extra 30 minutes. Not only that, one of the servers had the gall to ask us if we would be okay with sitting at the bar! All through our dinner there were folks waiting for a table and given that they have no foyer to speak of patrons hover around your table while you are eating... The food though is consistently very good and that's really the only saving grace. It's also quite noisy. So if conversation along with dinner is your goal I wouldn't recommend it. Certainly not a place to linger and chat...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- very goodzeldaDined on 4/26/2014This time the food was very good, wjth the exception of the flank steak;again. One in my party tried this a second time, same result, Too thick for this cut, tough stringy. The rest of meals were very good . Would recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good 'Predictable'TORCVIPDined on 4/25/2014ALWAYS good. all the down to the Lemon Drops spilling over they are so filled to the top! Haven't had a bad dish in the many years we have been going... Thank you for staying on top of the competition!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great goodlove2eatVIPDined on 4/24/2014Food was great, perfect for watching games with others. A sports bar type of place with great food.Special Features:
- Interesting placeGoodFood77Dined on 4/17/2014Came here on a gift card not really knowing what to expect. The food was alright. I'd come here again for lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- pleasantly surprisedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/4/2014We hadn't been to Capers in years and after dinner tonight we decided we wouldn't let it be that long before we go back again. It's not cheap but you get great service, food and wine so it's totally worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently enjoyablelocalcoupleVIPDined on 3/22/2014Capers is always busy, so a reservation is a good idea. The menu is varied, so even though we eat there several times a month, there are aways new things to try. The food is consistently enjoyable - not super high-end, but more interesting and lighter than the bar/grill level. This time they had a guy with a guitar playing background music. Very pleasant.Special Features:
- Not my favorite anymoreCampbellfoodieDined on 3/22/2014Our party had to wait 30 minutes with a reservation. Another party without a reservation who arrived just after us was seated about 5 minutes after we were. There was no advantage to making a reservation. Then we were charged $20 for corkage. The food is good but it's no longer worth the price and the hassle.
- DO NOT HAVE THE FLANK STEAK MEALzeldaDined on 3/22/2014If you like flank steak, do not have this one. Too thu=ick for a flank steak, tough, more or less tastlessSpecial Features:
- Lots of food seems a tad overprice.CelesteDined on 3/13/2014I had the Pork Picatta. The sauce was very tasty, mashed potatoes were yummy, just the right consistency. Veggies were cooked well, most places barely cook their veggies. My cocktail was good too, I find the prices for the cocktails a bit high for the quantity. My husband had the Cajun salmon. Very generous piece of fish cooked to crunchy perfection. I would come here again when I want a hearty dish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent overall but overpricedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/9/2014It was my first time dining here and we came towards the end of the night (arrived at 8 and they closed at 10:00). The food was quite good, but the portions of the entrees left a bit to be desired. The only real fault with my experience was the service. The server was interacted with us as little as possible. Every interaction felt hurried and it was unpleasant. I understand that servers have a lot to do, but it was the end of the night and there were not many other tables to wait on. Overall a decent place to have a meal, but not worth the price in my opinion.Special Features:
- We did not finish eating. Just badCoraVIPDined on 3/5/2014On a scale 1-10 Wine and beer - Inexpensive. 4 Taste of Food - 1. Both Calamari and chicken wings have no taste, Like rubber. No flavor or seasoning except a ton of sauce is used. Baked lamb penne was very oily. Rough meat is used. Beef stroganoff lacks flavor. Beef is overcooked. Quality of ingredients -1. no meat taste of any kind. Restaurant ambience - 3 -window table is nice. Quite spacious. Design for folks living nearby to have beer and get together. Service - 4 The hostess was good. Notice my table request early. The waitress was just OK. Not happy when we declined ice for our Pellegrino. She did notice we did not finish ALL our food (we only could have a few bites) so she took off the main courses from the bill. We left.

Iraq 'independent' as the US combat operation ends
Iraq's prime minister has said the country is "independent" as the US formally ends combat operations.
Nouri Maliki said the country's security forces would now deal with all threats, domestic or otherwise.
US Vice-President Joe Biden is in Iraq on an unannounced visit at the official end of the mission, at midnight (2100 GMT) on Tuesday.
In the US, ahead of an address to the nation, President Barack Obama said there was still much work to be done.
"It is not going to be a victory lap. It is not going to be self-congratulatory," he said of his speech as he met troops in Texas.
He also warned that there remained a "tough fight ahead in Afghanistan".
The end to US combat operation comes despite continuing violence and instability in Iraq.
The country's political leaders have so far failed to form a government after elections in March produced no conclusive winner.
In his televised address, Mr Maliki told Iraqis: "Iraq today is sovereign and independent.
"Our security forces will take the lead in ensuring security and safeguarding the country and removing all threats that the country has to weather, internally or externally."
He assured Iraqis that the security forces were "capable and qualified to shoulder the responsibility".
Violence in Iraq is down from the peak seen during the sectarian conflict in 2006-2007, although the number of civilian deaths rose sharply in July.

In his address from a newly redecorated Oval Office, on his second such address to the American people, he will not attempt to rehash the arguments for and against the war"
Almost daily attacks on Iraqi forces and traffic police in Baghdad and Anbar province, west of the capital, killed more than 85 people in the first three weeks of August.
These attacks may be a response by the so-called Islamic State of Iraq - an umbrella organisation of Sunni militant groups to which al-Qaeda in Iraq belongs - to the US military sending its combat troops home, says the BBC's Hugh Sykes in Baghdad.
In an interview with NBC News on Tuesday, Mr Obama said the "lower and lower levels of violence" in Iraq were proof that the Iraqi security forces were "functioning at least as well if not better than any of us had anticipated".
While many Iraqis have welcomed the withdrawal, others say they believe it is happening too soon and that the country is not ready to manage its own security.
"It's not the right time," Johaina Mohammed, a 40-year-old teacher from Baghdad told the Associated Press.
"There is no government, the security is deteriorating, and there is no trust."
One Baghdad resident, Ilifat, said that as long as any US soldiers remained in Iraq, he would consider it to be occupied.
"When the last US soldier leaves Iraqi bases and no US base remains in the country, we will say that the US troops have withdrawn," he told the Reuters news agency.
"Now the US army is still here and the country is occupied, and it will remain occupied. The country is also too weak."Gradual pull-out
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the withdrawal marked "a change in our mission" in Iraq and that it was up to the Iraqi people to "write the next chapter in Iraqi history".
"We will be their ally, but the responsibility of charting the future of Iraq first and foremost belongs to the Iraqis," he said.
The last US combat brigade left Iraq nearly two weeks ago, well ahead of the 31 August target set by President Obama to cut the number of US troops in Iraq below 50,000. Those remaining US troops will focus on supporting Iraqi forces.

- 2009 - Provincial elections held; US forces leave towns and cities; Hundreds killed in Baghdad attacks
- 2010 - Political vacuum after parliamentary election; US combat troops withdraw; 50,000 remain in Iraq
Gen Robert Cone, the deputy commander of US troops in Iraq, told the BBC that the greatest assistance would be needed in the areas of logistics, command and control, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
US troops will not participate in combat missions unless asked by the Iraqi authorities, or if acting in self-defence.
"The reality is you can't be in those kinds of environments and solely be an adviser," Gen Cone said.
"The soldiers that are left here... are combat soldiers but we're performing missions other than a primary combat role.
"I can assure that every American that is left in this country has the right and responsibility to self-defence."
Air cover for Iraqi ground operations is provided almost exclusively by US planes and helicopters as the new Iraqi air force is still in its infancy.
All US forces must be gone by the end of next year.
The White House has meanwhile urged Iraq to speed up political negotiations to form a coalition government after inconclusive elections in March.
Talks between Mr Maliki and the former Prime Miniser, Iyad Allawi, whose al-Iraqiya bloc won two more seats than Mr Maliki's State of Law alliance, have repeatedly stalled.
US Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said the eventual government would have to be "inclusive and should represent the result of the democratic election that was held".
"We believe that the Iraqis are making progress toward that goal," he told reporters on board Air Force One.

Edwin Longsden Long (1829 – 1891) British
Edwin Longsden Long, RA (Royal Academy) was an English genre, history, biblical and portrait painter. He was born in Bath, Somerset, the son of E. Long, an artist (from Kelston in Somerset), and was educated at Dr. Viner's School in Bath. Adopting the profession of a painter, Long came to London and studied in the British Museum. He was subsequently a pupil in the school of James Mathews Leigh in Newman Street London, and practiced first as a portrait artist painting Charles Greville, Lord Ebury and others.
Long made the acquaintance of John Phillip RA, and accompanied him to Spain, where they spent much time. Long was greatly influenced by the paintings of Velasquez and other Spanish masters, and his earlier pictures, such as La Posada'(1864) and Lazarilla and the blind beggar'(1870), were painted under Spanish influence. His first important pictures were The Suppliants'(1872) and The Babylonian marriage market (both subsequently purchased by Thomas Holloway).
In 1874, he visited Egypt and Syria, and subsequently his work took a new direction. He became thoroughly imbued with middle-eastern archaeology and painted Oriental scenes such as The Egyptian Feast (1877) and The Gods and their makers (1878).
Long was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1870 and an academician (RA) in 1881. His pictures always attracted attention and his Diana or Christ? (1881) greatly enhanced his reputation at the time. His pictures suited the taste and appealed to the religious sentiment of a large portion of the public, and their popularity was increased by a wide circulation of engravings. He consequently determined to exhibit his next pictures in a separate gallery of his own in Bond Street, London and there in 1883, and the following years, his Anno Domini'and Zeuxis at Crotona met with great commercial success.
Long died from pneumonia resulting from influenza, at his home, "Kelston" in Netherhall Gardens, Hampstead, on 15 May 1891, in his sixty-second year. He was buried in West Hampstead Cemetery. The will signed by him on the day of his death was the subject of a lawsuit, to which his relatives were parties, but the matter in dispute was amicably settled.
Long married a daughter of Dr. William Aiton, by whom he left a family, of whom a son, Maurice Long, was killed in a railway accident at Burgos in Spain on 23 Sep. 1892.
Besides the "Edwin Long" Gallery in Old Bond Street, a number of his pictures was collected together after his death, and formed the nucleus of a gallery of Christian Art, which replaced the works of Gustave Doré in the well-known gallery in New Bond Street.
Long had considerable practice as a portrait painter but his success in that line was not conspicuous, although he obtained high patronage and very large prices. He painted for the Baroness Burdett Coutts (his chief patron) portraits of herself, her friend Mrs. Brown, and Henry Irving. Among other portraits of his latter years were a memorial portrait of the Earl of Iddesleigh, of which he painted a replica for the National Portrait Gallery, portraits of Cardinal Manning (perhaps his best effort in this line), Samuel Cousins, Sir Edmund Henderson and others.
According to art historian Lionel Cust, "In his earlier works Long showed great power and thoroughly deserved his success and popularity", but added that his later works "suffered from a continual repetition of types which resulted in monotony".

Agnes Birkman (1871-1955)
Amedeo Simonetti (1874 – 1922) Italian
Portrait painter. Born in Brussels, Belgium on Nov. 21, 1882. Jonniaux attended Académie des Beaux Arts in Brussels. After serving in the Belgian Army during WWI, he established studios in both London and Paris. In 1930 his portrait of the Queen and King of Belgium established him as the court painter to the Belgian throne. Escaping from Nazi occupied France in 1941, Jonniaux and his wife settled in San Francisco. He also maintained a studio in Washington, DC where he painted such notables as President Roosevelt and Bishop Fulton Sheen. Schooled in the grand academic manner, his palette was tonal and dark with subjects meticulously rendered. Locally, his works were handled by the Hoover Gallery and Gumps. His home in San Francisco was at 1155 Jones Street with a studio at 712 Bay Street. His portraits of prominent people are found in private collections and public buildings throughout the U.S., South America, and Europe. He also painted character types of London and Paris such as charwomen, vendors, etc. Shortly before his death, he returned to his native land where he died on Feb. 4, 1974. Member: Royal Society of Beaux Arts (Brussels). Exh: London's Royal Society of Portrait Painters, 1924; Salon des Artistes Francais, 1931; Venice Biennale, 1933; Society for Sanity in Art, 1945; SWA, De Young Museum, 1955; Baltimore Museum; Vose Galleries (Boston); Kennedy Galleries (NYC); Smithsonian Inst.

Frederick Coffay Yohn (1875-1933) فريدريك كوفاي يوهن
Yohn's career focused on paintings and
illustrations of military and frontier subjects. His style was set early, and his forte was accuracy of expression. At 23, in 1898, his illustrations were included in part of a touring exhibition "Story of the Revolution," and Yohn was credited as a star of the show.
The same year the "Hero of Vincennes" was published by Lowell Thomas, and
illustrated by Yohn, F.C. Yohn was designer of a 2-cent stamp issued in 1929
to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of George Rogers Clark's victory over
the British at Fort Sackville (now Vincennes), Indiana.

A subordinating conjunction (also known as dependent word or subordinator) is placed at the beginning of a subordinate (or dependent) clause to show the relationship between the dependent clause and the main sentence.
A subordinating conjunction also turns the clause into something that depends on the rest of the sentence for its meaning.
Subordinating conjunctions are adverbs placed at the front of a clause to make it subordinate or dependent. The subordinate clause can come either before or after the main clause. If the the subordinate clause comes before the main clause, a comma is required.
Subordinators are usually a single word (after, as, because, once, than, since; etc) but they can also consist of a combination of words (as if, as long as, even if, in order that etc.) They can refer to:

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS by John Green. I had been hearing about this young adult author for some time but had never read one of his books. Michael Bourret suggested that this was the one to choose, and I am so pleased I did. The YA books I have represented to date are mostly romances and so this is quite different. Here is a writer who clearly isn't afraid to take on big issues. He does so with such subtle skill that rather than being wrapped up in the fact that the main characters are suffering from cancer, the reader is totally involved in the story as it unfolds. The voice is clear as a bell, and the writing is splendid. I am eager to go out and read other of this author's books now that I know how talented he is.
Miriam Goderich recommends:
I've always been a fan of family dysfunction. Not in my personal life, maybe, but in fiction. You can't deny that everyone from Sophocles to Albee has been mining that particular literary vein for centuries with often brilliant results. The voyeuristic pleasure of participating in other people's family dramas is tough to beat as reading experiences go, in my opinion, especially when an author has pitch perfect ability to capture the contradictions—love and hate, anger and tenderness—that underlie the sheer weight of shared experience at the complex core of family dynamics. Jonathan Tropper displays that perfect pitch in THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU, in which the extremely f'ed up members of the Foxman clan come together to sit shiva for their father, bringing their problems, neuroses, guilt, and regrets with them but also their caustic humor and unexpected affection for each other. Tropper could be the literary love child of two of my favorite authors, Tom Perotta and Jonathan Franzen, and his novel is a sparkling gem of a book.
Michael Bourret recommends:
Though I'm not quite finished yet, I feel very confident in recommending Tom Rob Smith's latest novel THE FARM. I was a big fan of Smith's impressive debut novel CHILD 44, and when I heard about THE FARM several months ago, I preordered it on my iPad. The premise is that Daniel, our protagonist, believes that his parents live a quiet, happy retirement in rural Sweden. So he's shocked when his father calls one day, telling him that his mother is having a psychotic breakdown and has been imagining horrible things. But before he can even take it all in, his mother calls and tells him she's fine, that his father is a liar, and that that what she needs is for Daniel to meet her at Heathrow. Daniel is trapped between his parents, and must decide if the incredible tale his mother tells him about his father is indeed true. This is a fantastic psychological thriller that will keep you guessing—I'm still in the middle of guessing—while also dealing with idea of losing one's parents. It's a great read.
Stacey Glick recommends:
For our recent book club, I read BRAIN ON FIRE by Susannah Cahalan and was completely blown away by it (which, I might note, does not happen very often). It's 100% the kind of book I'd love to have on my list. I represent a good amount of memoir, and brain science is also an area of interest. Cahalan describes a brief but harrowing episode in her life where she seemed to completely lose her mind. As it turns out, she was suffering from a then rarelydiagnosed autoimmune condition, whichthankfully responded well to meds once discovered. Well enough for her to be able to write a piece for her employer, the New York Post, which became the basis for this remarkable book. The book reads like an episode of House, countless doctors trying to determine the cause of her illness. The combination of an incredibly dramatic story, a fascinating scientific discovery, and a reporter's eye putting the pieces together of this period in her life makes for a compelling, page-turning book that reads like a medical thriller.
Jim McCarthy recommends:
If you pick up a copy of Benjamin Alire Sáenz's novel ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE, you may notice that the cover is littered with stickers. The book won something like a zillion prizes—it's so covered that I feel a little bad for the cover designer whose beautiful work is covered up. If you're at all like me, when you see that many prize stickers on a young adult novel, you might start to worry that you're about to embark on one of those novels that is more "good for you" than, say, enjoyable. Push through that feeling, though, and you'll discover a book that is equal parts funny and heartbreaking that also happens to deal with questioning sexuality without being about that. It's really about friendship and family and confusion and the anger of young men. The best teen novels in my mind breathe with an authenticity of life at that moment between childhood and adulthood. Sáenz's greatest achievement is capturing exactly what that feels like in a way that is perfectly specific to his characters while remaining expansive in its identifiable nature.
Jessica Papin recommends:
THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HARRY QUEBERT AFFAIR by Joel Dicker is a sly, page turner of a whodunit, a story within a story that is both a clever satire of writing and publishing and a well-framed mystery. Translated from the French but set in New England, it is international crime only in that it comes from abroad. It will not do for New Hampshire what Stieg Larson and Jo Nesbo have done for Scandinavia, namely convince the reader that these liberal social democracies are teeming with neo-nazis, sadists and sociopaths. Instead, it's a brainy sort of beach read featuring a wunderkind of an author, his Norman Mailer-ish mentor, a missing manuscript and a vanished Lolita.
Lauren Abramo recommends:
David Stuart MacLean came to on a train platform in India with no idea how long he'd been standing there, who he was, or where he was going. With the help of some concerned souls who took him for a drug addict, he made his way to the hospital where he discovered he was a Fulbright scholar who'd had a psychotic break as a result of known but unadvertised complications of the anti-malarial drug he'd been taking. With his memory in disarray—he remembered his parents, but not his girlfriend, and other memories, like the redheaded drug addict with whom he shared a rundown flat seemed to be a fabrication of his psychotic mind rather than an actual memory—he was forced to reconstruct his own notion of his identity and try to figure out both who he is and who he was. THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE IS ME is the extraordinary story that begins the moment he regains lucidity on that train platform, as he investigates himself, his feelings, and his role in his own life. There's so much at stake and so much irreparably lost, but it's not a misery memoir. MacLean never paints himself as someone to feel sorry for so much as he paints his condition as one to be interested in. It's an effort that makes the book the perfect intersection of memoir and popular science.
John Rudolph recommends:
Every summer, the Rudolph family heads up to Maine to spend a week with my in-laws followed by a week at the beach. It's hard to think of a better place to spend the summer (though a recent weekend in Nantucket offered some stiff competition), but this year I thought I should know a little bit more about the area that I've been visiting for nearly 10 years now. So, I've been reading THE LOBSTER COAST by Colin Woodard, which is a fascinating history and cultural study of Maine since the beginning. Woodard is a Mainer himself, so his account is both personal and biased, particularly against Massachusetts—and I have to say, after reading how terribly Boston treated Maine for two centuries, it's hard to understand why so many Mainers root for the Red Sox. But on the other hand, Woodard does a great job of exploding a number of Maine myths, particularly the idea that there's some kind of authenticity to a Maine summer vacation, since "rusticators" have been escaping to Maine since the early 1800s. All-in-all, a highly readable and educational survey of a place whose story goes far beyond L.L. Bean and lobsters.
Michael Hoogland recommends:
THE YELLOW BIRDS is a powerful and beautifully written debut novel by Kevin Powers. It is the harrowing story of two soldiers fighting to stay alive in the first years of the Iraq War. Private Bartle promises to bring 18-year-old Private Murphy safely home, but we quickly learn that Bartle fails to keep that promise. The chapters alternate between settings, ranging from Iraq in 2004, at the height of battle, to Virginia one year later, when Bartle is home, feeling hollowed and grappling with Murphy's mysterious and violent death. There is a cinematic quality to the storytelling: the colors are bright and Powers uses unusual descriptors that lend a subtle surreal element to the battle scenes. Bartle is an observant narrator, noting minor, poetic details that make this novel captivating and devastatingly truthful. As a veteran of the Iraq War, Powers seems to precisely capture the disorienting and illogical nature of combat. This is a brilliant, deeply profound first novel and I highly recommend it.
Rachel Stout recommends:
One of my very favorite writers of all time is Julian Barnes—he can write essays and responds to interviews really well. His fiction is amazing in its sparseness, and whether short story or full length novel, I have devoured everything of his I have ever read. So this makes it kind of hard to pick one, but to stay contemporary, I'm here to recommend his most recent (though not recent enough) THE SENSE OF AN ENDING. Really, this Booker prizewinner isn't about too much, just middle-aged Tony Webster's musings on his life and past, but it's the memories, emotions and realizations that wash over Tony as he recounts minutiae and seemingly insignificant details from his past that are so powerful that it's nearly impossible not to be completely sucked in. I had to try and conceal grins and moments of "aha" realizations as I read this very short book in public, so please be mindful of this when you dive in. It's a great introduction to a wholly wonderful author.
Sharon Pelletier recommends:
Roxane Gay is a writer I have long admired via her essays and her tweets (yes, really), and her first novel is a work of unmatched compassion, bravery, insight, and life. AN UNTAMED STATE is violent, brutal, and thus not an easy book to read; but neither is it an easy book to put down. The narrator is kidnapped in Haiti during a trip to visit her family there, suffers unspeakable things during her captivity, and upon her release flees to her mother-in-law's Nebraska farm. Mirielle's ferocious love of her husband, her child, and even herself pulls you through each page. Most of the reviews of this incredible book discuss its importance as a political novel about socioeconomic tensions, but I disagree—this is a novel about womanhood, about the ways women take care of each other, and about knowing who you are relative to your family.

Indiana schools appear to be in a "class" by themselves, when it comes to dealing with the pain of property tax relief.
The proposed property tax relief plan before Indiana lawmakers would reduce revenues to school districts statewide by $170-million.
While schools aren't alone in feeling the pinch of property tax caps, they are unique in their inability to do anything about it.
As written, the bill allows just one way to recover money lost to property tax caps—by imposing a local income tax. Schools have never received proceeds from local income taxes.
There are only 38-school corporations in the state of Indiana that stand to lose a million or more dollars to the imposition of property tax caps.
The list includes the Elkhart Community Schools.
"Well the projection is that in 2010 we'd have a loss of about two million dollars, just a little bit in excess of two million," said Elkhart Superintendent Mark Mow.
One of the biggest losers would be the South Bend Community Schools, where a loss of $9.5 million is projected.
The Penn Harris Madison schools would lose $2.6 million, while the Mishawaka schools would lose $2.2 million.
"Well the schools are in a very serious predicament, because they don't receive any monies from local option income tax dollars," said Indiana State Senator John Broden, a Democrat from South Bend. "While we all want to provide significant property tax relief, we certainly do not want to do that at the expense of a quality education for our children," Broden said.
It appears that the shortage would not impact day to day operations in the classroom. Another provision in the property tax reform plan would end the practice of using property tax monies to supplement the so-called general fund.
In this case, it appears any potential cuts would impact funds used to buy busses and repair buildings.
"Our capital projects fund typically is about an $8 million dollar fund, so potentially 25 percent capital projects and of course that's the fund we use to repair roofs, maintain buildings," said Mow.
Senator Broden hopes that lawmakers will address the situation, perhaps as early as next week when a Senate committee considers amendments to the property tax reform plan.

Great LezBritain: "Lip Service" Recap – Episode Two
Lou finds Tess after the show and gives her a hug, but not before locking the door to ensure there is no chance of peering eyes. She invites Tess over for "make-up" time and Tess suggests dinner with her, Cat and Ed. Lou agrees but her face doesn't look completely signed up to the idea. Tess – not the most observant of people – is delighted. Her little face lights up like a Christmas tree.
In a most comical scene, Cat gets her mobile nabbed by a law-breaking youth. Instead of calling the police or crying, she chases her assailant and tries to grab the phone back, only to end up hauled into the local nick for assault.
Guess who is on hand to spot her being brought in? Yes, every one of you has called it correctly, if your answer was DS Murray, that is.
DS Murray takes over Cat's questioning, and with sleeves rolled as high as they could ever possibly go…
DS: They didn't rough you up did they? You know what police can be like [smiles, knowing that this is a funny turn of events]
Cat: So I see you've come in here to gloat? It's not enough that some little s–t steals from me but now you are going to have a laugh at my expense?
DS: Actually, I thought you might need my help, but if you want me to go…
Cat: Well, you do have a habit of walking out on people.
DS: Only when you imply that I'm some sort of thug.
With a very manic voice, Cat explains what a torrid day she had before the date in Awkward Town. DS Murray is very smiley and comforts Cat over her latest mishap, whilst wearing a very gay waistcoat. Cat thanks her and tells her it's okay not to fancy someone – oh up missus.
DS: I didn't say I didn't fancy you. What about another date?
Preparation for Lou Foster is in full swing. Ed's face is tripping him from all of Tess' extra efforts for this lady that she isn't allowed to call her girlfriend. Cat silently freaks out about the mess.
Frankie and Jay are sitting on the floor together in front of a sofa, which to some, may be a strange choice of where to sit. They drink and smoke, but all is not merry as Frankie explains that her family and Cat hate her.
Jay has brought two-year anniversary presents for Becky comprising of underwear and what is supposed to be an expensive necklace, but we suspect it was purchased down at Barras Market, as the budget is a bit tight on this show, and it isn't very pretty.
Jay reels off why Becky is The One and that he can't be bed hopping forever. Frankie looks like, "Oh bugger, neither can I," but says nothing.
Cat, the human duster-buster, has tidied and put the finishing touches to Lou Foster's coming-over but not coming-out meal.
