William Rees is a human ecologist, ecological economist, Professor Emeritus and former Director of the University of British Columbia's School of Community and Regional Planning in Vancouver, Canada, where his research and teaching focused on the biophysical prerequisites for sustainability in an era of accelerating ecological change. Within this envelope developed a special interest in ecologically-relevant metrics of sustainability and their interpretation in terms of complexity theory and behavioural ecology. Prof Rees is perhaps best known in ecological economics as the originator and co-developer of 'ecological footprint analysis'. His book on eco-footprinting, with then PhD student Dr Mathis Wackernagel, has been translated into eight languages including Chinese. Widely adopted for sustainability assessments by Governments, NGOs and academics, the human 'eco-footprint' has arguably become world's best-known sustainability indicator. Prof Rees' most recent writing focuses on neuro-biological, cognitive and cultural barriers to sustainability, including human's well-developed capacity for self-delusion. He has authored (or co-authored) more than 150 peer reviewed papers and book chapters, and numerous popular articles on humanity's (un)sustainability conundrum. Active across disciplines, Dr Rees is a long-term member of the Global Ecological Integrity Group, a Fellow of the Post-Carbon Institute, a founding member and past President of the Canadian Society for Ecological Economics and founding Director of the OneEarth Initiative. The influence of Dr Rees' work is widely recognized and awarded. He has lectured by invitation throughout North America and 25 other countries around the world; the Vancouver Sun named Prof Rees one of British Columbia's top public intellectuals in 2000; in 2006 he was elected to the Royal Society of Canada and in 2007 he was awarded a prestigious Trudeau Foundation Fellowship. Laval University in Québec recognized Prof Rees with an honorary doctorate in 2012, and he is the recipient of both the 2012 Boulding Prize in Ecological Economics and a 2012 Blue Planet Prize (jointly with Dr Wackernagel).
Major Areas of Expertise in Sustainability Planning
1) Human bio-ecology and the ecological basis of civilization
Modern techno-industrial society is a product of the 'enlightenment project' and is deeply rooted in what philosophers refer to as 'Cartesian dualism.' This perspective sees humans as somehow separate from the biophysical world, assumes we are masters of nature and enables us to act as if society is not subject to serious ecological constraints. Dualism, and its companion expansionary-materialist worldview, are arguably the major source of many of the so-called 'environmental problems' confronting humankind today. Much of my work, by contrast, adopts a bio-ecological perspective that recognizes that humans are part of nature (in fact, we are the dominant consumer organism in all major ecosystems on the planet), that we cannot assert effective control over critical ecosystems and that the future development of civilization is seriously constrained by natural limits. My research on the means for achieving sustainability therefore leads to policies and planning that is cognitive of potentially dangerous biophysical trends. My approach argues for managing human demand rather than resources.
2) Ecological economics: Biophysical realities in resource allocation and distribution
Mainstream neo-liberal economic theory is rooted in concepts borrowed from Newtonian analytic mechanics. This paradigm fosters the development of simple, reductionist, linear, deterministic, single equilibrium-oriented models that are highly abstracted from biophysical reality. Conventional economists also tend to see the human economy as a distinctly separate system, all but independent of the ecosphere. This frees the discipline to emphasize efficiency and continuous economic growth. By contrast, the emerging ecological economic perspective is derived from political science, ecology, far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics and complex systems theory. Its models are characterized by real-world complexity, including non-linear behaviour (surprise) and multiple equilibria. From their more holistic perspective, ecological economists see the economy as a dependent, growing, fully-contained sub-system of a non-growing finite ecosphere. Ecological economics therefore emphasizes steady state dynamics, biophysical limits and social equity. My major contribution in this domain is the development of 'ecological footprint analysis' (EFA), a quantitative tool based on energy and material flows that estimates the area of productive ecosystems required to sustain any specified human population or economic activity. EFA has done much to re-open the debate on human carrying capacity—we'd need four additional Earth-like planets to raise just the present world population to North American levels of consumption—and suggests novel interpretations of key planning ideas such as what constitutes 'urban' land.
3) Global change and the dynamics of societal collapse
In 1995, anthropologist Joseph Tainter wrote: "what is perhaps most intriguing in the evolution of human societies is the regularity with which the pattern of increasing complexity is interrupted by collapse…" Ominously, modern, complex global techno-industrial society exhibits many symptoms similar to those that heralded previous societal collapses. More ominous still, contemporary decision-making processes seem incapable of responding creatively to the gathering evidence of potential crisis. While science is advancing a coherent understanding of the proximal conditions and mechanisms that precipitate collapse, I am most interested in the 'distal' factors that drive human societies to expand and complexify to the point where implosion seems inevitable. Is the cycle of human society similar to the "never-ending adaptive cycles of growth, accumulation, restructuring [collapse] and renewal" that we find in nature? Most important, is our more knowledge-intensive modern society capable of breaking free of the cycle of collapse that characterized earlier civilizations?

Sublime, with Guttermouth and Skankin' Pickle, Friday, December 15, at the Ogden Theatre, created a small cult masterpiece in 1992--the album 40 Oz. to Freedom. Since then, these Southern Californians have continued to produce an u nusual blend of lo-fi, thrash-infused ska and dub tunes. As the recent Robbin' the Hood demonstrates, Sublime is earning a loyal following in much the same way the Beastie Boys did. Moreover, their combination of frat-party sounds and hip-hop-meets-alternative attitude appeals to the growing legion of heavily pierced, baggy-pants-wearing surf/skate fanatics being targeted by this event, designated the Sno-Core Tour. So down your brew, park your board outside and get ready for an evening of the most entertaining garage-dub being made today.

Sounds like the router, have you looked at replacing that, could be NAT choking out.
We seem to be having an intermittent problem with our Internet which is driving us crazy in that it prevents (or goes off) users from browsing web pages.
However, although I say the Internet goes off, it doesn't in a sense that we can ping external websites using the command prompt and get a reply. Initially I thought it may have been a DNS issue, however, it seems as if the DNS is being resolved as we can ping google.com for example and get a reply.
As mentioned, when we do reboot the router, the Internet comes back and users can continue browsing as normal.
We have scanned all PC's etc for virus's and nothing has been revealed.
I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this issue and could offer some advice.
Sounds like the router, have you looked at replacing that, could be NAT choking out.
Thanks for your reply.
We have just recently got a new router a couple of weeks ago. Do you think this could still be the issue? Any further suggestions appreciated.
Do you have the ability to moniter the logging from the router, kiwi syslog server and a bit of router config may catch any router output and give you some hints.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- Authorities have identified a slaying victim in Blacksburg as a Virginia Tech student.
Virginia Tech says Blacksburg police identified the victim as Samanta Shrestha, a senior from Vienna.
The university said Tuesday in a posting on its website that Shrestha was a biological science major with minors in psychology and medicine and society.
Police told media outlets that 22-year-old Jessica Michelle Ewing of Blacksburg is charged with murder and 23-year-old Kyle Brown of Blacksburg is charged with accessory after the fact. Police have not provided details about the slaying.
Virginia Tech President Charles Steger says in a letter to the university community that one suspect is a Virginia Tech student and the other is a recent graduate. He didn't say which one is a student and which is a graduate.

- Incredible experience.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/23/2014The wine and food pairing lunch is sensational. Locally sourced produce, often from the property itself. Presentation and flavour combinations are delightful. Delicious wines, thoughtfully paired.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/22/2014French Laundry food and service at Burger King price. And, you don't need to go to Burger King after because they fill you up. Way up! And the setting is spectacular.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- True GemGoodcook2Dined on 11/20/2014Took out of town visitor to their wine pairing lunch. It was exquisite pairing with very creative plating of wonderful food. Also got a discount when you wanted to buy some of the wines featured. Overall, a true gem. A must for all food and wine lovers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/16/2014Our second visit. Beautiful view with excellent food and presentation. Great wine however very short with the pours and server seemed reluctant to do additional pours. That was a negative. Will go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Over the top experience - We will tell our freindsHappyCustomersDined on 11/16/2014We attended a 90 minute food and wine pairing, The set-up and ambiance was inviting and professionally done. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable . Their presentation style engaged attendee participation which added to an enjoyable experience. Their were 16 attendees. The food pairings were fantastic; from presentation to creativity and originality. The flavors in each dish were over the top as compared to the many 5 star restaurant's wine and food pairing dishes that we have had at 4 times the cost. One of my favorite food items was the thinly sliced yellow squash. I believe it was prepared with curry and/or cardamon or cinnamon. We weren't able to determine exactly what spices were used because all the spices blended together so nicely. All the dishes were a symphony of flavors. And the wines were delicious and paired perfectly. (That was not our experience at many wineries we had visited over the weekend). We also enjoyed the polenta with goat cheese and the Japanese eggplant. At this point we are sounding like we are vegetarians, but we really love our meats as well. The pork belly and lamb dishes were also excellent. And everyone raved about the seared Seebass. The finale was a thin wedge of delectable french blue cheese and chocolate flourless souffle cake that was surrounded by swirls of dark chocolate and what I think was Dulce De Leche. These flavors paired beautifully with their 2012 Port. The quality of the food and wine pairing for $50 per person is a great value. If you join their wine club you get a 20% discount off your food and wine pairing and given a free wine and food pairing for 2 for a visit in the future. . There is no initial fee to join and no pressure to do so, just some great incentives. .All wine purchases that day were offered at a 30% discount. The commitment to the wine club is to purchase one case of wine during the next year. They give you lots of options in choosing the varietals and timing of your deliveries.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent food and wine tastingBklyneaterVIPDined on 11/2/2014First time visit to Napa and so glad we planned a tasting here. Every course was amazing and paired perfectly with the wine selections.

- Winery gem!wineluverDined on 10/3/2014St. Francis is a gem just a short drive outside Santa Rosa. Spectacular scenery paired with great food and wonderful wines. We had visited 2 other vineyards on our trip - each very different from the others. By far, St. Francis was the most sophisticated. Their beautiful shop/tasting room was charming to spend a little time before or after our lunch. When we looked at the menu before hand we thought we would select one entrée. We were pleasantly surprised that we had samplings of all three with each paired to a wine and one even had two wines as the staff could not decide between the two. Each entree was well presented and delicious. It seemed a little pricey at first but was definitely worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Glass Key is a novel by Dashiell Hammett, said to be his favorite among his works. It was first published as serial in Black Mask in 1930, then was collected in 1931 (in London; the American edition followed 3 months later), and tells the story of gambler and racketeer Ned Beaumont, whose devotion to crooked political boss Paul Madvig leads him to investigate the murder of a local senator's son as a potential gang war brews. Hammett dedicated the novel to onetime lover Nell Martin.
There have been two US film adaptations (1935 and 1942) of the novel (plus one in USSR/Estonia in 1985). A radio adaptation starring Orson Welles aired on March 10, 1939 as part of his Campbell Playhouse program.[1] The book was also a major influence on the Coen brothers 1990 film Miller's Crossing, a film about a gambler who is a right hand man to a corrupt political boss and their involvement in a brewing gang war.
The "Glass Key award" (Swedish: Glasnyckeln) is named after the novel and has been presented annually since 1992 for the best crime novel by a Scandinavian author.
Plot Summary[edit]
The story revolves around Ned Beaumont, a gambler and best friend of the criminal boss Paul Madvig. Ned finds the body of a Senator's son on the street and Madvig asks him to thwart the D.A.'s investigation, his motive being he wants to back the corrupt senator in order to marry his daughter, Janet. Ned goes to New York searching for Bernie, a bookie who owes him a great deal of money from a gambling debt but ends up getting beaten up. Meanwhile someone sends a series of letters to people close to the crime, hinting that Madvig was the murderer. Suspicion for this falls on Madvig's daughter Opal, the victim's girlfriend. Madvig's political base begins to crumble, when he refuses to spring a follower's brother from jail. The follower goes to rival mob boss Shad O'Rory, who eliminates a witness to the brother's crime. Madvig then declares war on O'Rory, who offers to bribe Beaumont to expose Madvig in the newspaper. Beaumont refuses, is knocked unconscious and wakes captive in a dingy room where he is beaten daily.
Hospitalized after his escape, Beaumont tells Madvig and Janet that he was laying a trap for O'Rory; he then struggles out of bed to stop the newspaper from printing its expose. Beaumont confronts O'Rory the publisher and Madvig's daughter Opal. The publisher commits suicide, after Beaumont seduces his wife. Next Beaumont interviews Janet, discovering that she wrote the letters and that the Senator knew about the murder, before Beaumont found the body. A new clue points to Madvig and when confronted he confesses but he cannot account for the victim's hat, a detail Beaumont pointedly repeats throughout the novel. This impasse and Beaumont's growing interest in Janet, Madvig's love interest, cause a second rift between the men. Beaumont and Janet pair up to solve the murder. Beaumont uncovers evidence proving the senator killed his own son and turns him over to the police. Beaumont confronts Madvig with his new discovery and the two depart, not enemies but no longer friends.

"[Hammett] employs an objective approach, merely reporting the conversations and describing the surface actions of his characters, never directly presenting their thoughts and feelings".[2] This leaves some ambiguity in the reasoning of Ned Beaumont's actions, such as his suspicions about Janet Henry's father. This makes it hard to determine the nature of Ned's relationship with Janet.[2] While there is controversy as to whether or not they are together at the end, the fact that there is a relationship at all is indicative of "a different kind of hero".[2] According to Carl Jung, the "first work of the hero is to retreat from the world scene of secondary effects to those casual zones of the psyche where the difficulties really reside, and there to clarify the difficulties, eradicate them in his own case".[3] What is interesting about Dashiell Hammett's characters, is that they follow this first qualification, as well as the second, which is "the man or woman who has been able to battle past his personal and historical limitations to the generally valid, normally human forms".[3] In The Glass Key, Ned Beaumont does cross the boundaries of society, the third portion of the "hero" archetype does not follow with Ned Beaumont; "the hero has died as a modern man; but as eternal man-perfected, unspecific, universal man-he has been reborn. His second solemn deed and task therefore...is to return then to us, transfigured, and teach the lesson he has learned of life renewed".[3] While Ned Beaumont does go through a "transformation" of sorts (his relationship with Janet), he does not seek to empower those he lives with. Instead, he runs away to New York, which suggests that Hammett's "heroes" have an essential flaw in their magnanimity. Hammett's detectives usually avoid relationships at any and all costs, though Ned is different. He does not possess the sort of "immunity" to any emotional tie that previous detectives have maintained, such as the Continental Op in Hammett's Red Harvest. Because of this supposed relationship between Ned and Janet, The Glass Key takes on a more traditional storyline, that of the detective "hero" and his beautiful heroine, ending with a ride into the sunset of New York. "Neither the Op nor Sam Spade would have gone off with Janet, for as detectives they both strove to be ruled as much as possible by reason. But Beaumont is a gambler instead of a detective, a man used to taking risks. Just as he continues to bet while he is on a losing streak, he is willing to make another kind of wager on Janet, despite the great odds of the relationship ending badly. Because he is willing to accept the risks that human commitments entail, Beaumont is, if not Hammett's ideal hero, his most completely human hero".[2] Tthough Ned Beaumont does not fit either the popular, famous archetype of Jung, nor the weaker, less altruistic "hero" of Hammett's preferences but an altogether different one, most closely related to neither.
A more obvious theme in The Glass Key shows itself through the characters and their respective moralities. Here are elected officials, community figures and the like, who participate in conspiracies that are more often considered common in the underworld. This novel by Dashiell Hammett is set in a more unassuming place than his previous novels and thus more obviously open to corruption. As such, the characters are based more upon animalistic qualities, than in previous novels Hammett wrote. The characters, perhaps through the objectivity of the writing style, are portrayed as cutthroat and almost feral. The reason for their apparent slippage into violence is most likely related to the early Great Depression, as the novel was published in 1931.[4] The loss of "luck," as described in the novel ("What good am I if my luck's gone?" He asks. "You might as well take your punishment and get it over with") is the deciding factor in the actions of the characters.[4] The novel is similar in that respect to later Depression novels, such as The Postman Always Rings Twice.
Writing style[edit]
Hammett's distinctive and groundbreaking style helped usher in the hardboiled genre.[5] The Glass Key, written in Hammett's later noir years, is a prime example of his stylistic power.[5] Raymond Chandler, a 20th-century author and critic, discussed Hammett's sense of the modern world in The Glass Key:
The realist in murder writes of a world in which gangsters can rule nations and almost rule cities, ... where no man can walk down a dark street in safety because law and order are things we talk about but refrain from practicing; ... It is not a fragrant world, but it is the world you live in, and certain writers with tough minds and a cool spirit of detachment can make very interesting and even amusing patterns out of it?[6]
William Kennedy, also a 20th-century author and book critic, explained what is so complex about Hammett's writing style: "Hammett's strategy is to show the process of detection as motivated by and affecting a friendship between two men. Out of these materials Hammett creates a dynamic structure of uncertain, constantly shifting human relationships."[6]
One of the most interesting aspects of Hammett's writing in The Glass Key is his refusal to let the reader into the character's minds. Perhaps Hammett felt all fiction should lack an inner monologue; in the real world people only understand actions and speech and that is all Hammett's characters give us. By keeping the readers in the dark of his characters true intentions, he intensifies our sense of the ambiguous nature of reality.[6] That is to say, we never can trust if a character is doing what he is doing out of loyalty, or for selfish intentions.[6]
Adaptations and legacy[edit]
Dashiell Hammett and his novel The Glass Key has influenced many other hardboiled writers. As Raymond Chandler wrote in his oft-cited essay, "The Simple Art of Murder", Dashiell Hammett, as well as other hardboiled writers, created a style that removed the puzzle-game intrigues of typical detective novels and instead replaced it with realism: "Where murder is committed for reasons, and people talk and act as real people do". Chandler argues that it is due to these authors that this style is developed and raised from a generic form to a "new level of artistic substance".
The novel was made into The Glass Key (1935) directed by Frank Tuttle. It was produced by E. Lloyd Sheldon and the screen play was written by Katryn Scola and Kubec Glasmon. It was distributed by Paramount Pictures.[7] In 1942 a remake was released, which was directed by Heisler. It was produced by Buddy G. DeSylva, with the screenplay written by Latimer. This remake was also distributed by Paramount Pictures.[5]
The Glass Key was also adapted as a radio show on Orson Welles' The Campbell Playhouse, which aired in 1939 and was adapted for television, as part of the Westinghouse Studio One series by screenwriter Worthington Miner and director George Zachary.[8] The television version starred Donald Briggs, Lawrence Fletcher and Jean Carson and was originally broadcast on May 11, 1949.[9][10]
The book was also the inspiration for the satirical samurai film Yojimbo, produced by Kurosawa wherein a warrior for hire offers services to two rival merchants, each seeking to control a gambling operation, then goes on to pit the two gangs of killers against each other, a la the Continental Op. This in turn inspired Sergio Leone's classic "spaghetti western" A Fistful of Dollars (1964) and its sequels. This link resulted in a type of bond between classic westerns and "hardboiled detective" films.[7] Together with Hammett's 1929 novel Red Harvest, The Glass Key provided inspiration for the Coen Brother's 1990 film, Miller's Crossing.[11]
The Glass Key also inspired an award, known simply as the "Glass Key Award", which is presented to the best Nordic Crime novel of the year.[12]
Critical Receptions[edit]
There is general agreement that The Maltese Falcon and The Glass Key are Hammett's two finest books.[13][14] With the passing years Hammett looked more and more harshly on his own fiction but conceded that The Glass Key was "not so bad". Its reception was even better than that of the previous novel and so were sales, 20,000 copies having been sold eighteen months after publication. Some preferred the Falcon, others said simply that Hammett had written the three best detective stories of all time and in the New Yorker Dorothy Parker screamed that "there is entirely too little screaming about the work of Dashiell Hammett".
Hammett felt that the finished book was his best work, nonetheless because "the clues were nicely placed... although nobody seemed to notice". Reviewers were less sanguine, David T. Bazelon, writing for The Commentary, thought that Hammett had attempted a conventional novel, in which characters act for reasons of loyalty, passion or power. Even on those generous grounds, he found the novel unsatisfactory: "We never know whether [the] motive in solving the murder is loyalty, job-doing or love... this ambiguity reflects, I think, Hammett's difficulty in writing an unformularized novel-- one in which an analysis of motives is fundamental". Other critics wrote that the novel was "Hammett's least satisfactory" and that the hero was "mechanical and his emotions were not there". Robert Edenbaum, for basically the same reasons, called The Glass Key Hammett's "least satisfactory novel... [in Hemingway] the mask is lifted every time the character is alone; he admits his misery to himself...exposes his inner life. The Hammett mask is never lifted; the Hammett character never lets you inside. Instead of the potential despair of Hemingway, Hammett gives you unimpaired control and machinelike efficiency".
Louis Untermeyer wrote, "Hammett has done something extraordinarily new to the murder and mystery story. He has made the reader as much interested in the relation of his individuals to each other as in the solution of the story". Somerset Maugham saw, in Ned Beaumont, "a curious, intriguing character whom any novelist would have been proud to conceive" And Raymond Chandler found "an effect of movement, intrigue, cross-purposes, and the gradual elucidation of character, which is all the detective story has any right to be about anyway. All the rest is spillikins in the parlor".

Ease of use is more important than versatility as all I want to do is cut out "stumbles" and maybe add a bit of fade in/fade out music.
Recommendations please.

Welcome, welcome. Come on in and have a seat on the couch right there. Just relax. We're going to have a little conversation about your job anxieties. As a matter of fact, just lie back on the couch and let's focus together on letting all your misgivings about your current or even future job evaporate into the air.
I think we need to decide together just which of the 8 types job you're employed in. Once we do that, we can focus on helping you work through your concerns. What? You didn't know there were only 8 job types? Well, here they are:
1. The Security Job
Are you just hanging out to collect a paycheck? If so, you may be in a "security job." All it does is provide you with the means to take care of yourself and your family. You're not experiencing any job satisfaction at all. You probably don't like it and I'm sure your employer doesn't either. Here's a hint: your employer probably knows, and she's already looking for your replacement.
2. The Scouting Job
If you're just hanging on, trying to figure out what you really want to do, or what you want to do next, you're in a "scouting job." You may be waiting to finish your degree or you're waiting until something "better" comes along. You're just checking things out but you're still motivated enough to work on building up some key accomplishments to highlight in your next interview.
3. The Social Job
Sometimes we work at places simply because we have friends there. The camaraderie and fun that our friends bring to the workplace make staying there relatively easy. You probably love coming to work and I'm sure your boss probably loves seeing you all enjoying each other's company and collaboration, but your focus is probably too much on your social relations. Is your professional growth truly on track? Maybe, maybe not.
4. The Speculator Job
If you're in this job, you're probably working like crazy in hopes of a future payoff, a huge payoff. How high is your confidence that this payoff will actually happen? When most people in a "speculative job" lose their hope and realize they won't get paid what they're worth, they scavenge the company's resources – contacts, training manuals, copier toner, bandwidth – to achieve some sort of return on their investment. They basically compromise their own integrity out of frustration and that ethical lapse eats away at their conscience.
5. The Selfish Job
Is your job only about you? If it is, you're probably just hoping to learn, grow, and collect evidence of your own personal ability to add value for no other reason than because it makes you feel better. Using your employer's resources only to build up yourself will leave you feeling like a moocher and add some stress to your life.
6. The Singular Job
If your job provides a singular, unusual, or unique opportunity to meet a personal need or want, you're employed in a "singular job." You may have a strict schedule your current job accommodates or you may need to work in a certain location, with a certain high profile individual, or to learn a particular skill. As long as this job provides that singular purpose – and you NEED it – this job will probably work out well for you.
7. The Stuck Job
The "stuck job" needs little explanation. You're stuck – either because of a family situation, an economic situation, a debt situation, or an insurance situation. You do just enough to keep your job. It's time to dust off that resume and take a part-time job — finding a new line of work.
8. The Sensational Job
Are you working in a job that fuels your personal passion? Now we're talking! There are TONS of positives when your job aligns with your personal values, deep interests, and highest priorities. You're happy to be there and it shows. If this is your job, consider yourself fortunate. Very, VERY few people are employed in their sensational job, their dream job. As long as the "work" aspect doesn't become too annoying, frustrating, or overbearing, you will have a great time.
So, which one of these job types are you in?

The Tampa Bay Lightning put a huge task on the shoulders of Tyler Johnson and his line mates as they where in charge of shutting down the Sidney Crosby line of the Pittsburgh Penguins Friday afternoon at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
All did not go well as Crosby had three assists in the 3-0 win of the Lightning. The bright spot is Johnson's line did hold Crosby to a single shot on net for the game.

With the US currently involved in a standoff with pirates who have taken a US ship captain hostage, Somalian rapper K'Naan has spoken out in support of the pirates.
K'Naan, who admits to having cousins who are pirates, says that not all pirate attacks are bad.
"A lot of people don't like me for saying this but I'm in support of the pirates," K'Naan told Angela Yee on her radio show The Morning After. "Massive Western companies would come to Somalia and dump nuclear toxic waste containers on the shore because there was no government controlling the shorelines. So these pirates initially went into the ocean to make them pay for that sort of thing. So they just take everything for ransom. That actually helped us clear our environment." (The Morning After)
Earlier this week pirates hijacked a ship flying a US flag off the Somali coast and took the captain, Richard Phillips, hostage.
Pirates stormed the freighter Maersk Alabama that was carrying supplies for refugees sailing off the coast of Somalia. Phillips has been held hostage on the lifeboat since Wednesday [April 8] when the gang of four pirates hijacked the ship. Although the pirates were later overpowered by the unarmed US crew, they were able to separate Phillips and bundle him onto a lifeboat. (AFP)
Last night Phillips attempted to escape but was unsuccessful.
[He] jumped out of the lifeboat and attempted to swim to safety. He may have been trying to reach one of the nearby U.S. Navy ships keeping watch. Officials said they had heard, but could not confirm, reports that one of his captors jumped into the water after him, and that Phillips was pulled back into the lifeboat. (Los Angeles Times)
K'Naan is currently preparing to tour with West Coast legend Snoop Dogg.

Red Eye Lyrics - Styles P
[Verse 1]
I go with it – I'm so with it
First class flight overseas, I'm low with it
Stretching out the chair, wearin' low in it
Thinkin' of a house in Cali – can I grow in it?
Throw a booth in the place, imagine how I'd flow in it
Outer space bars, Ozs to the face, y'all
Bowl by the hottub in case, y'all
Plush life – laugh and I smile a lot
Light it up – bottle pop
Blowin' kush from San Diego to Ottawa
A long way from the days I used to bottle up
Keeping all of my feelings bottled up
Keeping all of the guns hollowed up
Now we gettin' rich, gettin' twisted like Oliver
Money, pile it up -yeah
The first go around, then again when we follow up
Money, power, kush, sour
Haze, airy, pills, powder
Pull it out, cock back, let the lead fly
Then a nigga gone on the red eye
Money, power, kush, sour
Haze, airy, pills, powder
Pull it out, cock back, let the lead fly
Then a nigga gone on the red eye
[Verse 2]
Livin' and drivin' in big shit
If I die tonight, fuck it, my kids rich
Sick shit, get your wig split
Nothin' personal, real nig shit
I'm on fire, you just smokin'
Playin' tennis with my connect, US Open
Block's my office, no days off it
The loudest person's usually the softest
Coke is gorgeous, ice is flawless
It's repercussions that come with all this
Gun off safety 'til they come and replace me
You know what they say, death comes in Tracys
[Verse 3]
More fun than festivals
Audemarsa and oysters perpetuals
Goon niggas that turn niggas to vegetables
Long as it's coke, being broke's unacceptable
Word to the zero that go after the decibel
May I double the way I bubble
Them ballers, the shit that brought AI trouble
If rap had a Dave Stern, believe I'm him
Think not? Bet the money in your Levis, then…
Digital… analogue
Always had catalogue, the bulls for the matador
But if I see red like the Bulls do
Somebody's gettin' shot and won't pull through
Got more animals than a zoo do
Yeah, it's Ghost The Grand
Motherfuckers should scram or get killed with they man

- Great foodEileenVIPDined on 11/22/2014We ate here before a performance at NJPAC. The food was great and the bar was hopping. Good service that moved the meal along at the right pace for us to get to our performance. We even had time for a very nice dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good spotOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/9/2014It's right opposite the NJPAC , very convenient for performances there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced and disappointingDrLarryDined on 11/8/2014Given the recommendations we were given and the interesting menu, we expected a fine dining experience. Instead what we got was poorly made, unambitious, bland and overpriced food. The lamb was dry and overcooked, the sea bass tasted like it was defrosted, and the first course items were no better. The sound of a blaring DJ down the hall made it uncomfortable to speak. The waiters seemed eager to hustle us out, although we made it clear we were in no hurry. The busboys seemed flustered and pressured us to finish. The sole virtue of Maize is that it is close to the NJPAC. I would encourage the ownership to seek a different approach on all levels, as it does not elevate itself above a mediocre hotel restaurant at the present time.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/7/2014The meal wasn't bad, just not great. They were busy when we ordered and our meal took a long time. We were planning to eat dessert but didn't have time before an 8:00 show even though our reservation was at 6:30.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Reasonable choice for pre-concertSatisfiedDinersDined on 11/1/2014Everything about the place I'd say is good if not great. A reliable choice for pre-concert,
- Awful!Emmy42Dined on 10/17/2014Food was terrible and bland. My husband ordered a medium steak and half of it was rare. I ordered the seafood paella which was very bland and the lobster tasted like seaweed. When we told the manager about the steak issue, he didn't offer to do anything about it. Calamari was decent, but the red dipping sauce tasted like it was heated up from a jar of Ragu. The wine list (by the glass) was VERY limited. Only 1 brand (and the same brand I might add) of each wine -- Cab, Pinot Noir, etc). Not very good either! We ended up sending a little of $100 for a poor quality meal. Will NEVER go here again!
- Good Pre-Show ChoiceLobo19722Dined on 10/17/2014Dined before a show. Great location, good food, very nice atmosphere. Service was very good until the place got really crowded. Then wait staff seemed overwhelmed. Luckily we had gotten our meal but dessert came very slow. If you go before a show, I would recommend no later than 6pm to ensure you aren't rushed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Convenient and gooddanmatyolaDined on 10/9/2014The Maize Restaurant in the Robert Treat Hotel has an outstanding location. You can park in the underground parking garage on Park Avenue, just off Broad Street and Market, the same parking garage used for the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. If the weather is bad, you can access both the hotel and the Maize restaurant from the garage without going outside, and you can return to the garage, which is across the street from the Performing Arts Center. The restaurant is small and crowded, but pleasant. The food is excellent. This is a good restaurant for dining in downtown Newark and for special events at NJ PAC.Special Features:
- Dinner before NJPACsnowbunnyDined on 10/9/2014It was a delicious dinner with great service a perfect place before a night at NJPACSpecial Features:
- ConvenientI8outDined on 10/9/2014We went to Maize before a performance at NJPAC. It was perfect for us, just across the street from the Performing Arts Center in the Robert Treat Hotel, close to the parking garage, and the food and wine were delicious. The service was excellent; we had plenty of time for a relaxing dinner. I'm sure we'll go there again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prix fixe a non-starterFleaVIPDined on 9/19/2014New prix fixe menu failed on all points for party of 6 on Friday Sept 19th. Not enough selection, service incredibly slow and price not worth it. We are longtime customers that typically come with parties from 3-6. We were there for NJPAC show -no time to finish dessert or order coffee and two of us only ordered salad! Won't be back.Special Features:
- pre dining at PACGre8tDined on 8/8/2014very good pre theatre PAC dining. the service was fast and when we told them we needed to be served quickly they were very accommodating.Special Features:
- The following 76 reviews are from the Maize Restaurant of Newark reviews archive.
- Poor serviceMishamooDined on 6/20/2014The servers seemed annoyed and angry. We asked if one of us could share the prix fix or order something light and was met with a nasty no. A few minutes later he allowed the one guest to order one dinner off the prix fix menu but not the bar menu. Would have been fine if he wasn't so mean and nasty. Also I asked for a medium steak and got rare. Was afraid they would make it well done if I sent it back.
- Weak dinner,weak serviceRicklawVIPDined on 6/20/2014Unless attending NJPAC event which limited choices to pre-show menu ( though sufficient choices in 2 of 3 courses) would not return.Food was not delicate,garlic shrimp was unedible and returned, and should have returned salmon tarte. Unorganized nas sloppy in attentive service
- PeggyDined on 6/10/2014Food is very good Sangria in super Service good as long as their is no show at NJPAC Would recommend for dinner prices are reasonableSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Surprisingly good!BoomerVIPDined on 5/22/2014You never know what to expect when you dine in a hotel. I have been going here for years every time in Newark. The restaurant is family run, and the food and service, and ambiance is simply great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's day weekendRaediggaDined on 5/11/2014Took my Mom to a show at NJPAC and made my reservation with Open Table for 3 guests. The host was super nice he made us feel welcomed when we arrived and seated us right away. There was a buffet style prixe fixe menu that ranged from cold appetizers, hot pastas, seafood, a carving station, salads and vegetable sides of all kinds, plus dessert! I really lucked into an expansive and inexpensive lunch that was nicely presented and very good. There were families with children and couples having lunch/dinner however the noise was actually low enough to hear conversation across the table. I would go there again.Special Features:
- RPLANDined on 5/10/2014Prices were high for quality and quantity of food.
- Poor Service, Mediocre FoodEnoughDined on 5/8/2014My companion and I arrived at 6:30pm and we informed our waiter that we needed to leave by 7:50 to attend a performance. We ordered drinks and soon thereafter we ordered an appetizer to share and our entries. We inquired about the status of our order about 15 or 20 minutes later. Our waiter said our food would be coming out soon. It didn't. We kept on inquiring as time was getting tight. Our waiter started to avoid eye contact. We then told him we'd have to leave if we didn't get served very soon. About 5 minutes later our entrees came but our appetizer. No apologies from our waiter. The seafood paella was edible but that's about it. No crustiness to the rice and the scallops were on the mushy side. Never again.
- geogeoflanDined on 5/8/2014Service was ok but drinks and main course was mixed up. Quality of food was ok but not for the price charged
- Pre-Concert DisappointmentCaroleVIPDined on 4/13/2014Disappointment. We went there pre-concert on a Sunday. Only a dinner menu. We ordered appetizers and were scolded by the unpleasant waiter and were told that they would not let us do that again. We won't get a chance because I will not go back.
- Food was just fair. The porkDinerDined on 4/6/2014Food was just fair. The pork chop requested medium was dry. Someone needs to tell the chef that chicken francese is made with lemon. There was no lemon taste at all. The service was horrible. It seemed like they oonly had one waiter for the entire restaurant. When we ffinished are meal the waiter seemed to want to get rid of us....we had to ask for a dessert menu. By the time it finally came 15 minutes later we needed to leave for our concert at NJPAC. I had not been here in a long time and probably won't be returning for a long time.
- MaizeIlikefoodDined on 3/29/2014A gem in the midst of a lack of good restsursnts within walking distance to NJPAC. Lovely atmosphere and fine food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent before concertdinerdinerDined on 3/29/2014A very enjoyable dining experience. On theatre nights, they only show a pricy pre-theatre menu which almost caused us to leave. However, upon inquiring, all of the items on that menu can also be ordered a la carte or even shared. The restaurant should make that clearer at the time the menu is presented. The lamb tenderloin and the garlic shrimp entrees were especially enjoyable and the portions were generous. Mixed drinks were excellent and fairly priced. You won't go wrong dining here.Special Features:
- Near NJPACglad2eatoutVIPDined on 3/29/2014This is still one of the best options before a performance at NJPAC just leave enough time. Park once and walk to the theater. Lunch was totally unrushed because we had planned on 2 hours and it was not the usual mad rush of dinner on a show night. Our waiter was very attentive and especially kind to our 2 year old granddaughter who thought he was her new friend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old staple still greatFleaVIPDined on 3/28/2014Good food, drinks, service and ambiance. Our waiters were particularly nice.Special Features:
- One of the worst dining experienceslandlDined on 3/15/2014It started with them having to re-make our drinks, one twice the other FOUR times. Used Stoli instead of Beefeater, re-made it without using ice, then remade it by shaking rather than stirring, etc. The meal....Steak Maize, their specialty, ordered medium rare came out rare, after cooking it to medium the sides were luke warm at best. The other meal, lamb porterhouse ordered medium had one cooked right the other three were well done. The replacement order came out rare, and the lead waiter tried first to convince us that it was medium rare, then tried to explain that to get to medium would likely result in well done. There were no apologies for the results of a ruined evening. Very disappointed as this looked like a more upscale place.
- Service was not great!glad2eatoutVIPDined on 2/28/2014We like the convenience of Maize when we go to NJPAC and the food is always good with choices for all of us. However, the service was very slow even when we told our waiter we wanted to get to the pre-show. We missed it and were rushing to get to the concert on time.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Get lost in your mealJimCDined on 2/15/2014Maize Restaurant in the Best Western Plus Robert Treat Hotel in Newark is worth every minute you spend there. We were seated promptly upon our arrival at a small table just beyond the bar area that was surprisingly quiet. Water and drink orders were accomplished right after we were seated. A prix fixe menu allowed us to order appetizer, entrée and dessert up front. The Portuguese vegetable soup with chorizo was aromatic, flavorful and nearly a meal in itself. The seasonal greens salad had zip. Lamb medallions with roasted potatoes and asparagus was well prepared. Salmon stuffed with shrimp and scallops was tender and full bodied. Garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables rounded out the dish. Flourless chocolate cake was exquisite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Convienient for dinner priorLJZ1VIPDined on 2/15/2014Convienient for dinner prior to NJPAC shows. Otherwise, would not consider.
- Three times you're out!justjDined on 2/8/2014We have now been disappointed three times at this restaurant. Each year we say we will give it another try, as it is directly across the street from the NJ PAC. However, this time was by far the worst. We arrived at 6pm and did not get served until 7:30. Another party left to get to the show at 8pm, as they did not want to eat their meal in 15 minutes. Our food, when it arrived, was of such poor quality that we chose not to eat, but rather just paid and left. The waiter isgnored us for a good 20 minutes despite our arm waiving, as I am sure he was embarrassed that we had not been served. Then told us they had a large group in the ballroom and the kitchen could not handle all the business. We have now permanently marked Maize off our list.
- Maize Rest in the Robert TreatOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/26/2014An excellent alternative to the restaurant within NJPAC whose food and service are not up to par. This visit was on a Sunday evening, and the place was almost empty. The service was excellent and the food was delicious and beautifully plated. Our last trip was just before a performance, and they handled the crowd well.Special Features:
- ExceptionalZeakdraftpicks973Dined on 1/22/2014This place was amazing. The decor is beautiful and very classic. Table setting was extravagant yet simple and classy. We went prior to a show at the prudential center and even thou its a couple blocks from the other places to go it is definitely worth it. We started with spanish mussels which were the best i have ever had in my life. Then i had the Maize Steak(prime rib) which was just amazing. Cooked exactly to my satisfaction. Our waiter was also very good. Attentive and great to interact with. I literally can not think of 1 thing that could have been better. And as expensive as the place looks its really not that bad. Dinner and drinks for 2 came out to just about $90. I will be returning before the Kanye West show on Feb 15th.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This was my second time inOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 12/8/2013This was my second time in two months and the first experience was good but this time the food was served cold and had to be sent back to be heated. They did not have a children s menu or Sunday brunch. Prices for lunch was the same as dinner prices not satisfied with the experience. I should not have to pay over $300.00 for lunch
- Very good Pre concert mealOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/7/2013Service fast, attentive and generally excellent. Really enjoyed the house wines. Lovely space and good food. Recommend Maize as a great place to eat when attending events at Prudential Center or the Arts Center. Is a bit pricey, so if funds limited you may want to just check the menu before booking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Portuguese DiningOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/17/2013Handicapped lift for disabled since steps to enter restaurant. Great food, excellent service, prices a bit high. Everyone there was extremely accommodating and wonderful-- even with a party going on in the main dining area, we really enjoyed our privacy in a smaller room and the noise wasn't bad at all! The décor had a nice warm Mediterranean feel in a cozy atmosphere. Nicely done. Convenience being across street from NJPAC. Tip: Good parking accessibility with Military Garage and the hotel parking. Military gates doors early, had to walk to car ramp down the block to get our car @7:30. If eating late, better to stay at the hotel above ground parking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very disappointingDearanijVIPDined on 10/30/2013When we booked dinner at Maize we knew it was a Portuguese restaurant and was looking forward to having a great meal. The meal was very up impressive. The seafood was over cooked to the point my wife didn't eat the lobster. My Chilean sea bass was so bland and cooked so poorly it didn't even resemble sea bass. We will not be back.
- Food was prepared well andoldtimerVIPDined on 10/11/2013Food was prepared well and tasted very good. Staff was very attentive and service was timely. Requested substitutions were made without any problem. Restaurant is directly across the street from NJPAC. We will definitely return.Special Features:
- A Great FindBoomerVIPDined on 9/16/2013You really can't go wrong with the food, service, or ambiance! I come here many times a year and have never been disappointed.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Looks great but disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/16/2013Looks great when you enter but the service was confused and the food mediocre, served on cold plates.
