One common trend that a number of web designers are using is to include skylines and cityscapes in their designs. In some cases it is a silhouette in the background, in other cases it may be a more significant part of the design. In this post we'll showcase 25 examples, and at the end of the post you'll find links to some Photoshop brush sets that will allow you to add this to your own work.

Infographic of the Day: Does the U.S. Waste Money on Innovation?
This infographic by accounting firm Grant Thorton purports to show how efficient 30 different countries are at innovation. How? Simply by showing the ratio between patents granted in a country, and the total R&D expenditures there.
Thus, the bigger the box in each country, the more innovation (as measured by patents) it gets for every R&D dollar:
[Click for larger version]
So for the U.S. it looks really, really bad. Even though we grant more patents than any other country in the world, we also seem to simply throw money at the problem of innovation–and in the long run, that can't be good for our own economic competitiveness. Sigue leyendo
The Newbie's Guide to Test-Driven Development
Testing your code is annoying, but the impact of not doing so can be orders of magnitude more annoying! In this article, we'll use test-driven development to write and test our code more effectively.
What is Test-Driven Development?
Since the dawn of the computer era, programmers and bugs have battled for supremacy. It's an inevitable occurrence. Even the greatest programmers fall prey to these anomalies. No code is safe. That's why we do testing. Programmers, at least sane ones, test their code by running it on development machines to make sure it does what it's supposed to.
Test-driven development is a programming technique that requires you to write actual code and automated test code simultaneously. This ensures that you test your code—and enables you to retest your code quickly and easily, since it's automated.
How does it work?
Test-driven development, or TDD as we'll call it from now on, revolves around a short iterative development cycle that goes something like this:
- Before writing any code, you must first write an automated test for your code. While writing the automated tests, you must take into account all possible inputs, errors, and outputs. This way, your mind is not clouded by any code that's already been written.
- The first time you run your automated test, the test should fail—indicating that the code is not yet ready.
- Afterward, you can begin programming. Since there's already an automated test, as long as the code fails it, it means that it's still not ready. The code can be fixed until it passes all assertions.
- Once the code passes the test, you can then begin cleaning it up, via refactoring. As long as the code still passes the test, it means that it still works. You no longer have to worry about changes that introduce new bugs.
- Start the whole thing over again with some other method or program. Sigue leyendo
Marketing by Cheryl Cole, David Beckham & Marmite…
After months of meticulous planning, a hotly debated X Factor performance and the fastest-selling single of 2009, Cheryl Cole's solo album sold in record numbers as a result of some clever micro-marketing and a lot of hard work. A glance behind the glitz of the album release, though, reveals an industry in flux, and shows how labels are changing in the face of mass digital piracy and plummeting profits.
Peter Loraine, general manager at Fascination Records, the pop label behind the album and part of Universal, put it bluntly. "There is less money to spend these days and you have to make it go further," he said. "You have to be a lot more creative, with a lot fewer resources."
High street record stores may have disappeared, but a huge, and growing, range of online retailers needs to be catered for. Cheryl's label made sure that each one got a special piece of her to offer fans. Amazon got 200 signed albums; Play.com, a meet and greet and a shopping trip offer; HMV.com, personalised calendars; Orange, signed lyrics; and iTunes, an exclusive track, digital booklet and remix bundle.
"We had to make sure we were catering to every fan out there," said Loraine. "Every outlet felt involved and excited about the release – no one was left out." Sigue leyendo

Remember Me
Most of us say "thanks" without thinking.
July 16--A bill awaiting Gov. Deval Patrick's signature would help homeowners by capping increasing flood insurance rates.
The bill the state Senate sent to Patrick on Monday would prohibit creditors from requiring that owners of residential properties with one to four units buy flood insurance in an amount that exceeds the outstanding balance of their mortgage, home equity line of credit or home equity loan.
Should the homeowner decide to buy flood insurance that only covers the balance of the mortgage, the creditor must provide a notice to the homeowner that explains they are buying flood insurance that may not be sufficient to cover all losses.
"This bill will offer protection to families who could face unsustainable rate increases through no fault of their own," Attorney General Martha Coakley said.
A spokeswoman for Patrick, who has eight more days to sign the bill, declined to comment.
Daniel Foley, vice president of government affairs and general counsel for the Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents, said the bill, combined with one President Obama signed into law earlier this year limiting flood insurance premium increases to no more than 18 percent a year, "will at least stem the tide" of often dramatic increases resulting from a federal law intended to make the national flood insurance program solvent.

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) offered Congress several recommendations to address the immediate critical housing needs of Hurricane Katrina evacuees and the long-term reconstruction of housing infrastructure and supply in the aftermath of the storm's extraordinary devastation. Citing the latest estimates from the American Red Cross that approximately 275,000 homes were destroyed in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama--nearly 10 times as many as in any previous natural disaster in U.S. history--NAHB President David Wilson urged the federal government to partner with the building industry to tackle the monumental rebuilding efforts.
"The task of rebuilding is unprecedented, with more than a million people homeless or displaced," Wilson told members of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity. "While NAHB understands the immediate need to build temporary housing quickly, ultimately, it is important that quality housing is rebuilt and that community character is restored to affected neighborhoods." Katrina also affected roughly 9,000 NAHB builder members, who have been displaced, or lost their homes or businesses. "NAHB and its state and local associations are working as quickly as possible to get these builders back on their feet so they can begin rebuilding in their communities," Wilson said.
To help hasten and facilitate relief efforts in the near-term, Wilson urged lawmakers to ensure that the Section 8 Housing Voucher program can be used to address the emergency needs of existing voucher holders who were left homeless by the disaster, as well as the needs of newly displaced persons. "This will require waiving statutory and regulatory provisions related to income certifications, minimum rent contributions, waiting list rules, initial inspection requirements and voucher payment standards, among others," he said.
Wilson also urged Congress to allow those uprooted by Katrina the opportunity to rapidly move into units financed with Low Income Housing Tax Credits without placing an undue burden on apartment owners. This can be accomplished, he suggested, by implementing consistent program waivers for all Department of Housing and Urban Development programs. To help new construction and rehab activities swiftly advance in the long-term, Wilson called on lawmakers to provide waivers to statutory and regulatory provisions in the FHA mortgage insurance, HOME, Community Development Block Grant, Section 108 Loan Guarantee and USDA Rural Housing Service programs.
Critical to the massive repair and replacement effort is the need for large amounts of building materials. To assist builders in their reconstruction efforts, Wilson said the federal government could help ease the impact of price spikes and shortages by rescinding tariffs on key building components. Finally, NAHB urged lawmakers to take additional steps to address labor needs in the region, streamline the construction permitting process and create additional tax incentives for redevelopment and construction.

WASHINGTON — In a landmark for gay rights, the Senate on Saturday voted to let gays serve openly in the military, giving President Barack Obama the chance to fulfill a campaign promise and repeal the 17-year policy known as "don't ask, don't tell."
Obama was expected to sign it next week, although the change wouldn't take immediate effect. The legislation says the president and his top military advisers must certify that lifting the ban won't hurt troops' fighting ability. After that, there's a 60-day waiting period for the military.
"It is time to close this chapter in our history," Obama said in a statement after a test vote cleared the way for final action. "It is time to recognize that sacrifice, valor and integrity are no more defined by sexual orientation than they are by race or gender, religion or creed."
The Senate vote was 65-31. The House had passed an identical version of the bill, 250-175, on Wednesday.
Repeal would mean that, for the first time in American history, gays would be openly accepted by the military and could acknowledge their sexual orientation without fear of being kicked out.
More than 13,500 service members have been dismissed under the 1993 law.
Rounding up a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate was a historic victory for Obama, who made repeal a campaign promise in 2008. It also was a political triumph for congressional Democrats who struggled in the final hours of the postelection session to overcome GOP objections on several legislative priorities before Republicans regain control of the House in January.
"As Barry Goldwater said, 'You don't have to be straight to shoot straight,"' said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., referring to the late GOP senator from Arizona.
Sen. John McCain, Obama's GOP rival in 2008, led the opposition. The Arizona Republican acknowledged he didn't have the votes to stop the bill and he blamed elite liberals with no military experience for pushing their social agenda on troops during wartime.
"They will do what is asked of them," McCain said of service members. "But don't think there won't be a great cost."
In the end, six GOP senators broke with their party on the procedural vote to let the bill move ahead and swung behind repeal after a recent Pentagon study concluded the ban could be lifted without hurting the ability of troops to fight.
The Associated Press
I, personally, am a conserative. Having said that, sexual orientation is a personal matter. I don't see how said orientatation will affect fighting ability. Men and women, gay and straight, that put their lives in each others hands, will find a way to work it out. I believe that our warriors are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for.
There are plenty of reasons that a person should be exempt from military service, being gay is not one of them. Once signed by President Obama, it becomes law. If the GOP wants to continue to try to make this an issue, maybe they should attend a revival service at Westwood Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas.

Celia Yeary-Romance...and a little bit of Texas
FREE READ-link to PDF-http://rebeccajvickery.com/resources/CY_TheCattlemensBall_free%20version.pdf
Wednesday, November 19, 2014
Stop and think—do you sabotage your own success? This can happen on many levels, most of them subconscious, but all are self-destructive. How do I know this? I've done so many things to make myself fail or at least feel like a failure, I can't even count them. We can't address all the ways we writers/artists/creators knock ourselves down, but we can discuss a few. You might be able to add to this list.
What is Your Passion? Mine is writing. I write novels, short novels, short stories, and blogs. Your passion may be writing, as well, but any creative activity counts: painting, photography, quilting, making doll houses, cooking gourmet meals, singing, dancing, playing an instrument--the list is long. Maybe you're like one of my talented friends who writes literary novels, but she also paints and is a wonderful photographer, too.
Is Your Attitude Positive or Negative? Ever hear the saying: "Can't never could do anything." I do admit I often say, "Well, I just can't do that." Maybe the statement is in response to rewriting a story that seriously needs an overhaul; to a ten-day blog tour; to spice up a manuscript; to take a workshop that I really need. Instead, be the Little Engine That Could and tell yourself, "I think I can." Doesn't that sound much better than "I can't?"
If you are a writer, is Your Book The Best It Can Be? Does it have reader appeal? Pretend you're someone else reading your book. (I pretend I'm a lady I know on-line who is rather hard to please—will she like my book?) Does it have urgency, intensity, and enough drama to capture a reader's heart? Does your own book interest YOU? Remember these principles, and you may just write a Best Seller.
Do You Treat Yourself As Well As You Treat Other Writers? Now, this is simple. If you have a writer friend who is faltering, what do you do? Don't you try to bolster her confidence, telling her that she is competent, that she is as good a writer as anyone else, and that you have confidence in her? Then, why not tell yourself these things? Then act that way.
Do You Play At Writing Instead Of Taking It Seriously? By serious, I don't mean act that way. The one thing you DON'T want to do is lose the joy of writing. Why write if it makes you miserable? Remember how excited you were when you first realized you were a storyteller, and you wanted more than anything to succeed? We need some level of obsession to take ourselves seriously and make others believe it, too. If writing is your dream, then make it happen. Write!
If you don't write, apply any of these bits of advice to your own particular talent.
If you'd like to try writing--by all means, sit down at the computer or grab a notebook and pen, and write!
Until next time--

START Where the STO-ry Be-Gins
HOW to get a-WAY with MUR-der
No, this post isn't about writing murder mysteries. It's about great beginnings that "start where the story begins."
This new TV series starring Viola Davis (The Help) opened to a roaring beginning. The way she says the title, "HOW to get a-WAY with MUR-der," might be the most clever way to open a series ever. I read that the producers and Viola worked a long while to get the cadence and the emphasis just right. And, wow, did they ever. I listen for that before every episode.
What grabs your attention when you choose a book? It's been argued that the cover is most important, or the blurb alone determines whether you read it or not, or perhaps the first line, the first paragraph, or the first chapter.
Or if the book starts "Where the Story Begins."
Beginnings. That's what it's all about--how to make a reader choose your book. For this little exercise, I have chosen first lines from ten books written by author friends or acquaintances. In other words, this list does not contain, "It was the best of times, it was..." Or with the weather. You get the picture.
Want to take this poll? Read the ten lines and choose three you like best, or those you think would make you buy the book. Rank your three choices using the letters...and tell me in a comment. If you want to take the time, tell me why your first choice caught your attention.
List them in order of best first in your comment. Ready?
A-The front door slammed shut, silencing Lizzy's eighteenth birthday celebration.
B-"He has walled us in alive! Our own lord has abandoned us!"
C-Gideon entered his sister's crowded SoHo gallery in Manhattan and glanced at his watch.
D-"Reese, if you weren't dead, I swear I'd kill you!"
E-Her swift fingers rushed over the keys like a flood of water tumbling over a dam.
F-"Sorry you got shot, Cole. Damn, this is gonna mess up all our plans."
G-Dallas McClintock sprawled on the ground, three rifle barrels pointed at his chest.
H-'...but other women my age have a lover.'
I-"Don't kill me! Please!"
J-Absorbed in her thoughts about Mark, the man who jilted her on what was to be her wedding day, she almost drove past the baby grand piano sitting out in the front yard of a little cottage.

Has it happened to you? You've repeatedly fallen in love while reading the wonderful romance novels by your favorite author. Without warning, she decides to switch from western romance to...gasp...contemporary romantic suspense.
My world hasn't been the same since.
Another favorite romance author switched to suspense, and in the process actually denied ever having written a romance novel.
Notice I am not using names, but these are real authors.
However, now that I am on the writing side of the aisle, I understand the desire to write something different.
As of now, I do write western romance and contemporary romance which is much more like women's fiction.
Note One: My internet sales have always leaned heavily toward western romance. This category is how I make my money. (Notice I did not say "fortune.")
Note Two: I have written a few contemporary romances/women's fiction which are not big internet sellers, but the prints were well received here at home.
My fan base here in town is a wonderful faithful group, and they will read anything I write.
If I publish a Western Historical Romance, they'll buy it and make very nice comments, and ask when will I have the next book available.
If I publish a Contemporary Romance/Women's Fiction, they'll buy it, too, and still give me compliments and ask the same question.
Now, here's the interesting part.
Recently, I took a poll from my reader friends.
"Do you prefer Western Historical Romance, or do you prefer Contemporary Romance which is closer to Women's Fiction than pure romance?"
More replied they liked the contemporary/women's fiction for a particular reason.
Want to know what that reason ? They feel as though they're reading about "real people."
And they like that.
So do I. I've enjoyed writing all the western romances, long and short, but after a while I almost feel as though I'm writing "by the book," or "by a specified outline."
I've also enjoyed writing the contemporary novels, because I feel "freer." My story doesn't need the "Boy meets Girl; Boy loses Girl; Boy gets girl" specifics.
Although these always have love stories, they are not the focus of the story.
Am I making sense?
Here is one example:
Making the Turn: 39 year old Sara Daniels loses her luxurious lifestyle in Dallas overnight. To survive, she must go home to Del Rey, Texas and move in with her mother in the old farm house where she was born and grew up.
Sara is the main character and how she will redefine herself.
Her mother, Dorothy, is cantankerous and argumentative which confuses Sara.
Her college-age daughter, Laney, moves in for part of the summer because her mother no longer has the big house in Dallas where Laney grew up.
The story revolves around Sara and her relationship with her mother, her daughter, and the handsome physicist who is occupying a nearby farm house with his motherless young boy.
(I have the rights back to this novel and it has been filed in my computer over a year. I will re-write a little and rename it "Return to Del Rey."
The novels I've loved to write are my "Texas" romance books:
Texas Blue
Texas Promise
Texas True
Texas Dreamer
A little danger, some adventure, and of course, a romance. These somewhat follow characters from two families who helped settle Texas.
As difficult as it is to say, I've decided these four novels will be all of the "Texas" books.
Time to begin something new.
But what? Time will tell. So far, I've been fortunate that an idea appeared in some fashion that led me on to my next story.
Oh, never fear. I'll never give up Western Romance.

When I became the Consumers' Counsel for the state of Ohio in April 2004, natural-gas prices were hovering between $7/Mcf and $8/Mcf (thousand cubic feet). In the next year and a half, Ohioans saw...
corrective action in certain capacity-constrained distribution systems, typically in older, densely populated urban areas. Distributed generation technologies could provide capacity-constrained utilities with an innovative and inexpensive opportunity to simultaneously meet load growth and relieve transmission constraints.
-R.K.K. and K.E.H.
Residential customers will accrue benefits only as commercial and industrial customers are able to produce higher quality products and services. However, this is not necessarily a benefit to residential customers, since they already pay for the products and services they require.
It may well be that most residential customers will not be interested in a higher level of reliability, especially if their electric bills are going to increase dramatically. As regulators, we have options. We can decide to maintain the status quo and keep system reliability at the current standard of 3-nines. Alternatively, we can promote an upgrade in system reliability from the current standard of 3-nines to a new standard of 6-nines and let individual customers invest their own resources to bring their level of reliability to 9-nines. Whatever path we take, we are faced with a number of questions that must be considered.
How much to upgrade? A series of open questions
Are transmission and distribution system upgrades needed? Given the effects of aging transmission and distribution systems built to serve local generator monopolies, what level of reliability is needed? Is there only a need for routine maintenance to counter the effects of constraints due to market-based competition or must systems be upgraded to a higher level of reliability in the process? If transmission and distribution companies invest in system upgrades beyond the current 3-nines standard, who should pay the cost for the higher standard of reliability? Can we reasonably expect residential customers to pay for systems upgrades that will primarily benefit commercial and industrial customers?
One strategy for implementing the upgrade would be to have large commercial and industrial customers purchase service, resulting in upgraded systems and the installation of necessary facilities/equipment. Then, mid-size and small commercial and industrial customers could be solicited based on the assumption that they too will need a higher level of reliability and will be willing to pay for it. Regulators should establish safeguards to ensure that basic monopoly service ratepayers are not required to support, through higher rates, the initial improvements in transmission and distribution reliability. Large commercial and industrial customers should bear these costs since they will be the major benefactors of improved reliability. Wherever this discussion leads, there are five relevant public policy objectives that must be considered:
- Protect residential customers from cost-shifting
- Encourage competition
- Maintain a healthy and sustainable utility
- Safeguard the environment
- Ensure safety and grid reliability
When discussion of a competitive electric industry first began, customers were told that opening the electric market to competition would provide benefits. One benefit would be the right to choose a supplier of electricity. Another benefit would be that competition would lower the price of electricity. Today, residential customers are questioning the "benefit" of choosing a supplier, and the "benefit" of lower prices is rarely mentioned. In fact, many customers are concerned that

- This is a great little neighborhood restaurantOneofthelsDined on 11/24/2014Our 2nd visit to and everything was just perfect. Ambience and layout are great. We sat inside this time but on a good night the outside patio is also great. Bar area looks fun and inviting, we'll try that another time. Good selection of wines for the most discerning enthusiast. We skipped the appetizers and went straight to main courses. The ceasar salad is splendid. Wifey ordered fettuccini Alfredo with shrimp which was fabulous. I had the strip steak with whipped potatoes and couldn't finish it all. We skipped the dessert and just enjoyed the rest of the evening. You have to give these guys a try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful eveningDiningDocDined on 11/21/2014Spent a wonderful evening with my husband, brother and his wife recently. Jeremy was our waiter and was exceptional. His suggestions were spot-on and his understanding of the cooking helpful. The food was refreshingly different. Great choices for surf or turf. Everything from appetizer (loved the burrata) to salad (try the salad with vanilla pickled onions and sweet blue-cheese dressing) to entrees (horseradish encrusted fish) to dessert (triple chocolate pot de creme with raspberry reduction and biscotti). Even the coffee with dessert did not disappoint!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodSLW01Dined on 11/13/2014Good wine list , food is quite good. smells from the grill are nice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Friends who lunchfriendswholunchVIPDined on 11/12/2014This is a wonderful restaurant to meet with friends and enjoy the wonderful food. The patio is great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistent, Good.SLW01Dined on 11/11/2014This was a first here, but my steak was way way too salty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food and serviceRandiDined on 11/10/2014I have taken clients weekly for the last several weeks. The service is outstanding and the food is consistently amazing. The specials are always on point and the wine list is all inclusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 11/8/2014It was very good. Not over the top in creative or fancy foodie trends but very good.I would recommend this to a friend.
- outstandingcottagebytheseaDined on 11/8/2014I've had lunch and dinner here several times, but dinner this week was truly outstanding, usually like to go into town for a special dinner, but just didn't want to drive that far Saturday night, made my reservation here, and was so estatic about the whole dining experience. Waitress and service was extraordinary, food and selection was out of this world. Tuna Tartare appetizer was the best ever. Already recommended to several of my friends. Certainly going again, in fact tonight!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time thereDan1577Dined on 11/7/2014My wife and I just tried this place. It was very good. It's pricey, but you get what you pay to a greater extent than a lot of other pricey places. I ordered the filet and my wife ordered the scallops. I'd recommend the scallops but if you want a filet, at $35, go somewhere else like capital, Ruth Chris, or Orsay. The filet was probably one of the best quality prices of meat I've found in town, but it's preparation I found to be lacking any flavor. And the menu didn't prvide any raspy options for toppings, sauces, or add ins like crab meat etc. The scallops were amazing! The atmosphere was exceptional. We will go back again, but next time I'm trying the fish.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable ExperiencelovefoodpvDined on 11/7/2014Hosted a recent birthday luncheon for five and we were pleased with every aspect of the meal. Our waitress was exceptional and food outstanding. I'd been here years ago, after they first opened, and it must not have been the same experience, as I hadn't been back. This time, nothing but accolades from me. There are so many items I want to try on the menu, I'm planning my return visit soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food.Beautiful settingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/6/2014My husband and I went to Eleven South for my birthday dinner and ate outside in the lovely outdoor room. I highly recommend both the atmosphere and the food. I had the grouper-superb!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MarisueDined on 11/6/2014Somehow they had us in and out in 45 minutes. When you go out to an upscale restaurant that is not what you are looking for. The salad was warm, my steak was barely hot. My husband had the Mongolian noodles dish which was excellent. That was the second time we were there and we probably won't go back. For the money it is not the food and experience I was hoping for.Special Features:
- Terrible WaiterDebbieVIPDined on 11/1/2014We enjoyed the food and the ambiance but our waiter was very rude and inattentive.
- Great findOpenTable Diner Since 2014VIPDined on 11/1/2014Affordable fine dining. Great food lovely atmosphere. Knowledgable staff. Attentive and courteousSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- LouMarDined on 10/17/2014Food was really the highlight of the night. Grouper and Mongolian Beef entrees were great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DickDined on 10/11/2014The food, the service was fantastic. Unfortunatly the noise level was so loud, you could barely carry on a conversation. Wewill certainly go back and try again to see if the noise level was just a rare happening.Special Features:
- Fantastic dining experienceJimHDined on 10/11/2014From the moment the valet greeted us until they brought us our car the entire experience was first class. The ambiance was perfect for our anniversary celebration. Our waiter Jeremy was outstanding and really made our night great. The food from start to finish was spectacular.Special Features:
- A really great spot for fine diningTBoneDined on 10/10/2014I have visited Eleven South Bistro on several occasions in the past, I took my Wife for our Anniversary because I was missing the Rack of Lamb (always on the menu) and wanted to visit again. I made online reservations and typed a message that it was my Anniversary but there was no mention of the occasion when we arrived by the staff. Our Server was awesome, I could never have received better (extremely friendly but not bothersome) service, and there was no excessive delays in the preparations from the Kitchen. I did order the Rack of Lamb and the "Buffalo Rib Eye" (special) which was excellent! No complaints on any of the food, we topped dinner off with a Creme Brulee and paid the check (with a 20% tip came to about $75.00 each).Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/10/2014Very good service. But I ordered the lamb and it wasn't wasn't tender at all. Everything out I the kitchen should be perfect when your tab is exceeds $150 for two.Special Features:
- Above and beyondOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 10/8/2014This was my 5th visit, and I've always enjoyed the experience. This time they went above-and-beyond to earn my loyalty. I was dining with a couple, and had just started on a Paleo program (no grains, sugar or dairy). In fact all 3 of us had various dietary restrictions. Our server was gracious about all the special needs and offered viable substitutions; the kitchen staff was spot-on with the results. I ended up with their grilled salmon entree, served over a bed of perfectly sautéed leaf spinach and sliced asparagus accents. Hated to forego the sauce that normally comes with this dish, but that was my choice. Since none of the desserts were within my dietary needs, our server offered to bring a bowl of assorted berries. Standing ovation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 30th anniversary dinnerOutstandingDined on 10/7/2014We were vacationing in Ponte Vedra and the conceirge recommended Eleven South as a special occasion place for dinner in Jacksonville. We were greeted to extra special attention and perfect table location and two glasses of champagne to help us celebrate. Johnny was our server and was fabulous. Will return when we visit Jacksonville beach again!!Special Features:
- Great.DisappointedDined on 10/7/2014We had been here for lunch a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it and the food was great. We just returned for our anniversary dinner. It was lovely. The food and service were great. We will be back.Special Features:
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/5/2014The food was good but there was a one inch square piece of paper in the scallops....:( The right thing to do would have been not to charge for the plate. However, they decided to offer us dessert instead, even if we were not hungry anymore.Special Features:
- MehhThedobbieDined on 10/4/2014The good wasn't that great! The lobster Mac was horrible. The service was excellent! The outside patio was charming. I had a stomach ache for the rest of the night, not happy!Special Features:
- 11 SouthMcRibmeDined on 10/3/2014This was my first experience going to 11 South and it was absolutely fantastic. The ambiance was noticeable the moment you walked in the door - the restaurant and dining area is very quaint and provides a very romantic setting. Our server was extremely polite and knowledgeable; also, he gave my date and I enough space, time to talk, and enjoy our evening (I like that a lot). My girlfriend got the scallops and he let me try and a bite AND probably the best scallops I've had in my life. All the food was extremely fresh and delicious. Our server recommended getting the short-rib and it did not disappoint - very tender with great flavor. We also got the truffle fries and WOW those were incredible. All-in-all, I highly recommend going!Special Features:
- 1st time impressionbubbe4VIPDined on 10/3/2014Outstanding service and attention to detail, loved that the owners engaged with patrons; service personnel very knowledgeable of wine list & foods would definitely come backSpecial Features:
- Great foodtimDDined on 9/29/2014Very nice atmosphere. Great service. Portions were perfectly filling without waste. Raspberry Sorbet is incredible for dessert!Special Features:
- less than expectedMerryMarDined on 9/28/2014Eleven south has a nice atmosphere with what appeared to be a very active bar. The menu was interesting, though a little pricey. Our food was good, but not amazing for that cost. Might return for appetizers, soups, salads, since there were several on the menu that I may like to try.Special Features:
- Manager kept it from being horribleOneofthelsDined on 9/26/2014Arrived on time for our reservation and got a great vibe walking in. Great bar area. We were seated quickly outside. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu. We ordered our entrees and that's about when things turned for the worst. People that were seated long after us started receiving their food ahead of us. The table behind us was served the wrong dish and we overheard the waitress mention scallops which is what my wife ordered. She left the dish and told that table she wouldn't charge for the upgraded meal. Then the waitress came back and apologized and took the food back. Shortly thereafter our waiter brought the scallops to is and I lost it. The mgr recovered and gave us a gift cert for 2 entrees on a future visit.Special Features:
- jbjbVIPDined on 9/25/2014Went with friends for our September birthday celebration and as always, they did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed their meals...Salmon, Tuna, Grouper. The Bone In Veal Chop was very good as was the Green/White Asparagus Soup with Truffle Oil -- both were specials for the night. Servers were attentive but did not hover. Eleven South is the best restaurant at the beach.Special Features:
- Great Date NightTonyDined on 9/20/2014I have been to 11 South on several occasions. It is one of the best places to take your date for dinner. The food is superb, the specials Devine, and the ambiance wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, wine and atmosphereShelleyDined on 9/20/2014We had a group of 6 for dinner, sometimes it can be a tad difficult noise wise for conversation but we were seated in a comfy booth with pillows and it was perfect! Great wine list, delicious appetizers, soups and deserts as well as interesting specials. Ideal service too! No complaints from any of us...... If you have not dined here yet... it is time you did!Special Features:
- Consistent, Good.SLW01Dined on 9/19/2014The food is always timely and good. Great wine list. Great martinisSpecial Features:
- Always a great experience11southfanDined on 9/17/2014We love to come to Eleven South for special occasions, but any time you go to dinner there, it makes it feel like it is a special occasion. After eating at every "high end" rest. and bistro in Jax over the years, this is definitely the best food in town! There are no end to the sauces and glazes and xtra touches, and their steaks are Prime! Get the rib eye with reduction and truffle butter add on, its a steak lovers dream steak. What we love the most is to sit at the bar on Sundays(half-price bottles of select wines are a another bonus)and have bar apps and wine. It is warm a and inviting vibe, and the bar has such a cool retro look. Plus you get to watch the meats being grilled on the open pit oven. Our favorite place to eat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best of the beachesBeachPoppaDined on 9/16/2014Entertained out of town guests and had a lovely time. Service is excellent, food is always superb and the atmosphere is perfect. This place is the class of Jax Beach. It's a great adult restaurant with a small but lively bar and an indoor or outdoor dining option. I have been many times and never been disappointed.Special Features:
- AwesomeAdivineliteDined on 9/14/2014From the time you valet, to being seating. Everything was absolutely wonderful, the food was very fresh, down to the sauce! My husband and I will definitely be back againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome!dpr17Dined on 9/12/2014Eleven South is a must whenever we are in Ponte Vedra and they did not disappoint tonight! Fantastic service, amazing food, and a killer dessert. Christi did a great job with recommendations, and our food was perfect. The NY strip paired with a lobster tail was outstanding and the baseball sirloin and lobster baked potato was delicious. Topping it all off was what they call Coffee and Doughnuts - light coffee flavored custard, fresh beignets, and chocolate covered coffee beans! Wow! My second time eating there this week. Do not miss it whenever you are in Jax Beach or Ponte Vedra!Special Features:

Park Shin Hye Is Caught Between Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin in "The Heirs" Ep 13 Preview Stills
Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye finally ignite their burgeoning relationship with an emotional embrace on SBS' Wednesday-Thursday drama "The Heirs."
Picking up where the last episode ended, the November 20 episode of "The Heirs" shows Cha Eun Sang (Park Shin Hye) finally facing her feelings, as she walks up to Kim Tan (Lee Min Ho) and passionately embraces him. In the episode 12, Kim Tan had come to see her at work, and the two stood face to face shedding tears without exchanging a single word. The teaser pictures show that Cha Eun Sang clearly understands that he is deeply upset, and in spite of her complex feelings, moves forward to give him a hug, pressing herself close to him while on tiptoes.
The hug scene between Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye was filmed in front of a Mango Six café in Daechi-dong, Seoul, on November 11, and the pair took more than three hours to complete the scene, filming in the cold

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Crews are fighting a fire at 866 Courtington Ln. This address is a six-unit, two-story apartment building.
All residents escaped safely, but two firefighters were sent to the hospital. One suffered heat exhaustion. The other had low blood pressure.
One cat was rescued. Firefighters gave the cat oxygen before transporting it to a veterinarian's office.
The second unit caught fire first, which spread to all six units, all of which are a total loss. Two of those units were unoccupied.
It is estimated that six people have been displaced. The Red Cross is assisting the residents.
The public information officer for the Iona McGregor Fire Department said hydrants are scarce in that area. Firefighters had to lay down 1,500 to 2,000 feet of hose from McGregor to reach the flames.
All lanes of McGregor, between Banyon Cove and Sunset Vista, will remain shut down for the next three hours. Motorists are advised to avoid the area.
Crews from Sanibel, Fort Myers, Cape Coral and South Trail fire departments all assisted in extinguishing the fire.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
"This is the only picture I have of my mother and father and my sister," said Laura Hamilton.
The few family photos on the table are the only thing Laura Hamilton has left from her home.
"I still cant believe that I dont have clothes, to go to work it, shoes," she said.
Hamilton's apartment was one of six that destroyed by a two alarm fire at the Courtington Apartment Complex Friday afternoon.
The blaze grew so fast, dozens of firefighters were called in from across the area.
"It was hot, very hot. you could feel the heat I was probabaly 30 feet away from it and it was scary it was really close to our house," said one neighbor.
Video footage from a viewer shows flames shooting from the roof and black smoke billowing in to the air.
Crews tried to save what they could from dousing water on the building from above.
"It's ok. They will rebuild it. They better," said Hamilton.

"My parents bought this car when it had about 55,000 miles on it back in 2004. Basically it was the family car it drove us to the grocery store, work, family gatherings and sporting events. Basically this car was our go to when going anywhere. Then in 2010 I started college and the car became mine. Again used as the daily commuter it never let me down. Granted as we got to the 89,000-100,000 range there were some hiccups here and there. Specifically my car would overheat from time to time but nothing too severe. The car also withstood a flood, hurricanes and multiple moments when it overheated. Currently it has 114,500 something miles and is nearing it's end but the fact of the matter is the car is a tremendous daily commuter, reliable, great family/single car and just a beauty. It hurts me that I have to now sell it as engine problem have come up and even then it still drives great but I have the money to replace it with a new car. If you happen to find this car around the 70,000-90,000 mile range I suggest you buy it in a hurry. Believe me you will not be disappointed. You will love your KIA Sephia. Gonna miss you Shylo!"

"I bought this car 13 years ago it was in a damaged state when I got it. the bumper was torn off and dragging the brakes were rusted and locked up. I found out the first owner had no insurance on it and it got towed to the wrong dealer for repairs. the owner had no money and I just had my truck damaged so I bought the sephia to repair quickly to drive for $320 that the owner owed for the tow bill. I replaced the brakes and did a quick repair of the bumper and drove it till the next spring while I repaired my truck. the kia had 77000 miles in sept 2000 when I got it. after fixing my truck gas was up so I drove the kia to work every day. I put 100 miles on it a day for the next 7 years then my new job was close so not too many miles put on it there. Today it has 200000 miles on it it looks ruff and rusted out, but runs good. I drive it every day. THIS WAS THE BEST $320 DOLLAR I HAVE SPENT!!!! WISH I COULD FIND ANOTHER 94 THAT WAS LIKE NEW TO REPLACE THIS ONE WHEN IT IS DONE!!!"

"My little 1997 Kia Sephia was brand new when I bought it with just 14 miles on it. It is an automatic transmission with manual windows, manual locks, and had a tape deck in it. The stereo broke and the drive belts needed replaced the first year, but after that it ran and ran and ran. I used it primarily as an in town commuter car and got really good gas mileage, so much so that now I cringe as I am shopping for a new car. It was perfect for my single, pre-child, college years. I did fairly routine oil, lube, and filter changes, battery replacement,and had new tires put on it every now and then. About the time it hit 100,000 miles I started having more mechanical issues with it, like oil leaks, radiator leaks, water pump hose leaks, broken gaskets, battery corrosion eating at my connect, the muffler needed replaced,the dash cracked and peeled up, the interior light door sensor stopped working, and the "open door" light got stuck on (I think I slammed the seat belt into the door and broke the sensor)...Unfortunatley, now it is the transmission that needs replaced. All of those issues probably could have been avoided, or at least significantly delayed had I had routine engine tune-ups done on it like I should have. This past year, I had a baby and though the trunk is deceptively deep, and the carseat does fit, it only passed inspection at the fire station after putting a foam roll under the base to get the correct angle, and the 1997 Kia doesn't have the key-fit lock bolts for the carseat. I mostly need more room. That coupled with the cost of the new transmission ($1621 parts and labor quoted from the dealership), I decided it was time for a new car. I pinky-swear that I will do better with my maintenance on my next car. All-in-all, I am surprisingly sad to see it go. It served me well for 14 years. I would completely recommend a new Kia (in fact, I really want a Sorento), but I don't know that I would recommend a 1997 Kia Sephia unless it is very low miles. I also think this year of this model might have poor safety ratings."

SCAD Professor Marcia R. Cohen will discuss the exhibition she created during her fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. The exhibition, "Carnet de Voyages," chronicles the 'indigenous colors' of the city. Understanding ancient colors is mysterious, at best, and to be working in Rome, a city synonymous with royal purples and porphyry, afforded her unchallenged access to the material world of the ancient colors.Cohen's exhibition is on display in the ACA Library of SCAD Artist's Book Room through Feb. 16, 2013.For more information, contact Mary Murphy.

BBB urges consumers and business owners to run a simple diagnostic test to see if they are affected by a possible Internet disruption.
Hundreds of thousands of Internet users may lose their online access on July 9, 2012, and Better Business Bureau is urging all consumers and businesses to run a quick and easy diagnostic test to see if their computers are infected. The FBI's DNS Changer Working Group at dcwg.org/detect can detect the malware and explain how to fix infected machines.
"Everyone should check to see if their computer is infected," urged BBB President and CEO Jim Hegarty. "It takes less than a minute to check and, if your equipment is clean, there is nothing more you need to do. If your computer is infected, the DNS Changer Working Group recommends the necessary steps to save your computer. But this must be done by July 9th or you could lose internet access."
Last November, the FBI took down the servers of international hackers operating out of Estonia. Their sophisticated Internet fraud scheme infected more than four million computers located in over 100 countries. Of the computers infected with malware, at least 500,000 were in the United States, including computers belonging to US government agencies, such as NASA; educational institutions; non-profit organizations; commercial businesses; and individuals.
The malware secretly altered the settings on infected computers enabling the scammers to digitally hijack Internet searches and re-route computers to certain websites and advertisements. This generated at least $14 million in fees to the scammers who were paid each time these websites or ads were clicked on or viewed by users. The malware also prevented the installation of anti-virus software and operating system updates on infected computers, leaving those computers and their users unable to detect or stop the malware attacks, and exposing them to attacks by other viruses.
If the servers had simply been shut down, the victims' computers would no longer be able to access the internet. Instead, the FBI set up clean servers to replace the ones that were running the scam, and victims have been redirected to those clean servers ever since, usually without any knowledge they'd been infected in the first place.
Originally the rescue servers were to be active until March, but a court ruling extended the program until July 9th. At that time the clean servers will be turned off and anyone who is still infected with the malware will lose their internet access. The FBI believes there are still about 360,000 infected computers in a dozen countries, including the US and Canada.
Better Business Bureau, Inc. (BBB) has been serving U.S consumers and businesses for 100 years and is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting trust in the marketplace. Accountability, education and recognition of marketplace role models are key components to the BBB's mission. Today, the BBB has a membership of approximately 8,000 companies in Nebraska, South Dakota and southwest Iowa. Consumers are encouraged to report complaints and possible scams to the BBB.

My top 5 Tips to battle Depression
We all have our ups and downs. When we get down it can feel pretty overwhelming and it can be a long battle to overcome what got you there. Life beats us down, we neglect our health, we get tired...and depressed. Here are a few tips to battle the blues:
1. Probiotics- Did you know that there is a connection between poor gut health and depression? There are many ways to add probiotics to your diet; yogurt, Kefir (fermented yogurt drink), supplements. Make sure your brand is high quality. Not all brands are the same quality, you could be throwing your money out the window with no good health benefit. For example, low fat yogurts withRead More
Stop! Don't Peel!
Guess where most of the nutrients of a carrot exist?
The skin or outer layer!
The power of a crunchy carrot with the skin on, is deliciousness with no guilt! A satisfying carrot crunch means powerful antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, most of which exist along the outer portion of the carrot where most of us peel it off (collective gasp!).
Ever wonder why some diet programs say to avoid carrots? I think it is because most carrots have had many nutrients peeled off by the manufacturer, or you. Without the peel they are a sweeter variation of veggie. Those baby carrots are even known to be washed in a bleach solution to keep them fresh...ewe!!! So not only have they lRead More
Honey Mustard Recipe

I live in Denver and my house is set back far into my yard. There is a large gate in the front and a no trespassing sign. A process server came to serve me for a speed van ticket and I accepted the service and then advised him not to ever come back, for I have a no trespassing sign. He came back a few weeks later with a separate speeding ticket. I was in the front yard and he came up towards my property and I told him he was warned not to come on the property. He then stepped up to the fence (my fence is a few feet into my property) and left the ticket. I got his license plate number and vehicle type. The police who work the photo enforcement unit told me I was arguing semantics and was unwilling to help me find out how to file charges. I believe they are targeting me, what are my options?
Really none. You are being cited for violating the law and being served by a process server instead of a police officer, which is the other option, for speeding offenses. Only law enforcement can file charges of trespassing in the criminal courts through the DAs Office. As such, you are wanting to have law enforcement charge themselves for serving you with the criminal charges. Yes, you could try to sue them civilly, but you have no economic damages. This is simply not a fight that is worthwhile. Like it or not, the cops can and will make life a living hell for you basically without any ramifications. We see clients impacted by cops who target them all of the time and their lives are terrible.
