- In Honor of Brendan Tevlin, A Nite at the "Gate", Thur, Nov 20 / 8:00pm http://ow.ly/EvtG1
Happy Hour
Monday thru sunday
4pm -7pm
When we opened our doors in the Summer of 2003, the community welcomed us and became a part of "The Gate" family. A fireplace sits amid the dining area giving our patrons the feel of being back in the "emerald isle" while enjoying some comfort food with Irish music playing in the background.
We offer a menu filled with comfort food such as Fish n' Chips, Mac n Cheese, and our famous burgers which are just a few of our selections. We also offer daily specials which are available for both lunch and dinner.
A pint of Guinness is the perfect choice to pair with our food or to just enjoy by itself as one of our appetizers.

Let's face it, I never would have *considered owning one of these if they didn't have "Crescent" drop-forged right into the gleaming steel handle. Too gimmicky. Too complex and too many small parts to work on the job for more than five minutes. But I imagine that's what guys like us thought about the first adjustable wrenches they saw.
I can now tell you from observation that every part of this wrench is made to stand up to Crescent's reputation for quality and reliability. I have indeed used it on the job, even handed it to cnstruction professionals who not only handed it back in perfect working order, thank you, but without complaints of any sort.
MCM Electronics stocks this wrench in three sizes, and I've taken advantage of sale prices to equip myself with two complete sets of each. I recommend at least one of each to anyone whose work doesn't exclude the need for the largest or smallest of them.
I marked this wrench down from the topmost rating for one reason and one only: I find I need to readjust mine every time I remove and reposition it on the fastener. It's not that it slips out of adjustment (Never!) but that it's so EASY to adjust that any disturbance can change it. So DON"T throw out your set of thumbwheel-adjustable wrenches.
On the other hand, there will be tight situations where you can't easily reach or turn a thumbwheel when one of these will come in mighty handy. And for blind adjustment, it's as fast as anything.
As a farmer's wife, I am often the "gofer" (Go for this wrench, go for that wrench) This crescent will always fit even if I can't find the one he wants!

November 24, 2014
KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) - A registered sex offender has been sentenced after pleading guilty to changing a child's birth certificate to show he was the father.
Don Allen Coleman, 37, was in a Knox County court on Monday.
Coleman was arrested in November 2012 after an investigation by the Knox County Sheriff's Office Sex Offender Registry Enforcement Unit.
Under state law Coleman, who was convicted of aggravated sexual battery of a 9-year old, cannot live with a child that is not his biological child and cannot be a step parent. By changing the birth certificate to reflect he was the biological father, he would have been permitted under state law to reside with the child.
Under his plea agreement, Coleman was given a suspended sentence and his name removed from the birth certificate.
Coleman also has a trial date set for January 30, 2014 to hear 8 additional violations of the sex offender registry and perjury cases.

Guess we better get to cracking on the development of some sort of wormhole jumpgate. Even if/when we do develop jumpgates, we'd still need to haul over all the equipment to build a terminal near the planet anyways. So I'd say we're at least 200 years from the first steps of colonization.
Pretty cool news though... this shit is right up my ally.

Thanksgiving mishaps 2012
- DuchessNukem Nov 21, 2012 02:37 PM
Well I left the potatoes in the garage and now most have developed sight. And the eyes appear angry. "J'accuse!"
I am giving them a relaxing hot bath in hopes that they will mellow their attitude.
Also, the only bread in the house is tortillas. Am sending the Duke out to raid the peasantry for bread; flat stuffing is not to be tolerated here.
Anyone else have malfunctions this year?
Three members of the family decided to run out for last minute provisions, after we admitted to spacing off the brussel sprouts last night. We now have approximately 8 or 9 lbs of them with only a few recipes we truly get excited about and no one here is vegetarian enough to take on that mass 'o sprouts
re: ThanksVille
Do you like stuffed cabbage? I once saw TV chef Joey Nathan making a soup inspired by stuffed cabbage. He didn't give an actual recipe but I jotted down ingredients. He made stock from short ribs but quality purchased broth would do. This was added to a pot in which onions, garlic, and ground beef had been sauteed, along with rice, shredded cabbage, cranberries, maple syrup, and raisins. Everything is then simmered. When I made it, I used whole Brussels sprouts instead of shredded cabbage, and liked the final product.
I forgot to buy potatoes. We've been doing low/no carb since July because of DH's dietary restrictions, so the usual 5 pounds I'd have in the pantry has ceased to be! I'm working late tonight, so I'm going to make sure to hit a supermarket before 10.
re: pinehurst
My first time making a pie... and I burned it a little :( Pumpkin pie. It wasn't done when the timer went off so I said "oh I"ll just leave it in for a bit longer" then promptly forgot about it... for another 15 or 20 minutes. My mom said it looks fine, just a little brown, but I think she's being nice. I'm so bummed cause it looked so pretty :(
re: juliejulez
Whipped cream can be very pretty- and it hides a multitudes of baking sins.
re: juliejulez
I can't live w/out this kitchen timer; looks like Amazon is temporarily out of stock but Chef's, etc. will probably have it.
re: walker
Pray tell, what are this timer's main pluses? Thx for sharing
re: wahine88
Well, you can wear it around your neck or just stick it in a pocket, if you have one. Mainly, it's good to have a timer and set it and this one is very portable if I'm in another area of the house, not the kitchen.
re: walker
So it's the portability of it rather than the specifics of this timer that are great? I've never had such a bar/stick timer, but interested in researching them. Thanks.
re: walker
I have a timer, a very nice one actually that has 4 different timers on it, plus timers on both the oven and the microwave. But a timer doesn't help if you forget to set it :)
re: walker
My iPhone is now my go to timer! Just tell Seri how long to set it for!
re: pinehurst
Speaking of potatoes, and too many brussels sprouts. My husband went shopping with my list yesterday. The potatoes he got were too big. So today I went out and got some smaller potatoes. In laws arrived tonight with a present - 10 lbs of potatoes! One of their coworkers grows them :)
re: sasha1
Lucky you! Use the ones your in laws brought you!
Made a chocolate layer cake with a buttercream frosting. Something went VERY wrong with the frosting - no volume and very thick. When I first looked in the bowl, I convinced myself there was enough for between the layers and on top and all around - WRONG! After assessing the situation, decided the family will get a single layer, fully frosted, and DH and I will have a plain layer all to ourselves. Separated the layers, scraped all the frosting off one and left it bare. DH already had a piece sans frosting. Not sure what went wrong, but whatever. My cake is just an extra dessert anyway since niece and I don't care for pumpkin pie, and as she's 12, I don't think she will care much that it's not perfect. And this way I can leave the rest of the frosted cake with her and know that I still have cake at home for me! No feeling guilty for wanting to take cake away from a child!
I would like to determine what went wrong, though. I'd rather this not happen again ;(
So far things have been OK here, though I'm a bit worried about a new dressing recipe turning out soggy. We'll see what wonders a night in the fridge + a blast of heat tomorrow will do.
However, a friend of mine reported that she accidentally brined her kitchen floor. (While attempting to pour her brine into the brining bag, a great deal of it ended up missing its mark.) I assured her that the floor would just be extra tender and flavorful.
re: jld234
This reminded me - I did an artichoke soup today that needed to be cooked then pureed in the blender. For whatever reason, after I put the first batch in the blender, I wanted to be sure the bottom was screwed on tight so it didn't leak. Turned it the wrong way of course. Much broth spilled out the bottom, onto the counters, into the drawers, and onto the floor. My husband gave me a look he usually reserves for the children...
re: sasha1
Off topic but would you share your artichoke soup recipe? I've googled a few recipes and they look good but would appreciate a "tried and true" version too. Thx
re: vanderb
It's not tried and true, because this is the first year I've made it. I'll post the epicurious recipe link here. I modified a bit - no cream for starters. There's enough butter in the rest of the meal. And for the artichoke/jerusalem artichoke, I used 4 1 lb bags of frozen artichoke hearts and 2 potatoes to smooth out the consistency.
re: sasha1
You need to add immersion blender to your christmas list! No more leaky blender issues.
re: jld234
I was so fearful of this. Now my turkey is brining in a roasting bag resting in a roasting pan. but the liquid level is pretty high. I'm just crossing my fingers that it all stays where it should and no poultry soaked brine goes spilling onto my mom's kitchen floor or fridge. As I was ladling the brine in, i was having visions of brine all over the new flooring. fingers crossed it all works out ok...
re: jld234
I have brined my kitchen floor/counters/breakfast bar stools thrice. Count 'em! Three times!! For the record, NONE of them were my fault, unless you count having someone help me as my fault, lol. He would always not pay quite enough attention and let go of part of the bag, and whooooosh!!!! TIDAL WAVE!!!!! So annoying.... not only all the salt/sugar water, but the herbs, the apple cider, the dried cranberries, the apples..... SUCH a mess!!
Am catering a dinner tommorrow, just beginning prep now. Anticipate numerous mishaps so stay tuned for tomorrow. Have all produce now but have had no access to the turkey, so fully expect to arrive tomorrow to find it still frozen. Numbers have not been confirmed but the food has been bought for me, anticipate not having enough food. In a foreign country and the equipment is vastly different, so expect problems on all fronts with cooking. Sourcing traditional ingredients has been tough, was only able to get 75% of ingredients so already with some fun obstacles. And broke my toe yesterday so am hobbling around as best I can.
re: TeRReT
I'm getting anxiety from your post and am very thankful that all I need to do tomorrow is frost a cake. Good luck!
re: rabaja
haha thanks, it will be interesting. I have everything mapped out and planned to and know how I am cooking the turkey and everything. Just got a phone call from my boss who I am catering for, he wants to pick me up 2 hours before I told him pick me up because he has been doing research and wants to slow cook the turkey. What way is better or not aside, I am practically doing this as a charity, and already have everything planned out. We won't have a dry turkey, and I am not changing how I am cooking things this late in the game. Tomorrow will definitely be interesting!
re: TeRReT
Turkey is in the roaster but the roaster sucks, no browning at all at the start, hopefully it will get some color eventually
re: TeRReT
And turkey is done well ahead of time, will have to hold it an hour more then anticipated, and did not brown, the roaster is not as fun as I had anticipated :P
re: shaebones
Aren't most stores open til 4PM or so? Hope so, I need heavy cream to whip and cover the crack on my pumpkin pie.
re: Lfdallas
My closest place usually opens at 6AM, so I'll find out shortly! Otherwise hope 7Eleven sells heavy cream. Can't believe I went through over a quart yesterday.
re: Lfdallas
Nope--Walmart is closed all day today and opening at 8pm tonight for "Black Friday"
re: iluvcookies
I went to the closest supermarket (open 6AM to 6PM for the holiday) and they were OUT of all types of cream. Then I remembered the other place I shop, they had heavy cream on sale this week for $1.97 a pint, while the place that was out was around $5. So another 3 minute drive and I grabbed two, I'm sure I'll need more in the next month or so!
Just now realizing why I was so far behind on meal prep though. I think this is the first time I had to run out to pick up an ingredient the morning of.
re: Lfdallas
How long was turkey at room temp? Can't tell if your sentence "Placed turkey in brine, in cooler, in the fridge..." was meaning initially or 1-2 hours later. MOST likely ok if max 2 hours out of fridge, but check governmental food safety websites to be sure.
re: wahine88
I took the brine out of the fridge, poured it into the cooler and noticed that it was about room temperature. Since I had already cleaned the turkey I placed it into the brine and put it in the fridge. Most recipes say that brine should be 40 degrees. I didn't have any ice too add til about 1-2hr later.
re: Lfdallas
No problem whatsoever. Your bird was not sitting out on the counter exposed to the air, it was submerged in salt water. Salt is a preservative. I never realized how MUCH salt is in Costco's rotisserie chickens until, having overshopped, I did not get to the one that was in the back of my fridge for an entire week after bringing it home. I thought I'd be boiling it up to kill enough spoilage that the dogs could safely eat it but to my surprise, it smelled fine. So I tasted it, and it WAS fine. The dogs lost out. I put it back in the fridge and ate it over the next 3 days. It never developed even the slightest off-smell.
re: Lfdallas
I have an idea for you. Call the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line, which has dieticians on hand who are VERY food safety-conscious. I just called and they were wonderfully helpful. Found out about them in the NYT. Their # is -800-BUTTERBALL (1-800-288-8372)
The lines will be busy, but keep trying! Hope all turns out well for you!
re: wahine88
Thank you!
re: Lfdallas
Sure. Hope they helped you. Keep trying and you'll get through. They'll prob say if turkey was at room temp more than 4 hours, nix it. If you don't get someone who seems like they know what they're doing, perhaps you could ask for someone else/a supervisor? I called twice and got a very knowledgeable, middle-aged woman at first. Not to be reverse agist, but the 2nd time it was a woman who sounded young and she wasn't nearly as careful or helpful or knowledgeable. So hope you reached someone reliable! They take their time and don't rush you, either. Happy Thanksgiving.
re: wahine88
I had to call them this year (have other times, they've always been extremely helpful, friendly) to ask WHERE my string lifter was. Butterball, w/out warning, stopped including them. Maybe half the people threw them out but once you tried it and got used to it, they were helpful. Maybe, with enough complaints, they'll bring them back.
re: walker
My MIL's Butterball had a string lifter this year, which I had never seen before. Which makes me wonder, did she somehow get a really old turkey? (I know for sure she bought it this year - she is not the type to buy food and keep it in the freezer for a year.)
re: lisavf
Strange, maybe they used up the stock of them they had. You could call Butterball hotline and ask. Hope they bring them back.
(They had them many years. One year I forgot to use it, saved it and the next year used it on a turkey I bought at WF, then went back to Butterballs.)
Between everyone's schedule we cooked the big meal to celebrate yesterday with lots of plans for leftovers today! We ran out of white flour and secretly substituted about 25% with wheat. Then in a rush and a touch of disorganization added to much butter to my chocolate pecan pie turning it into a really tasty slightly soupy wonderfulness. I think we are going to break some up and mix into vanilla ice cream and refreeze.
On a positive note we tried a new method for the turkey; America's test Kitchen braised turkey and stuffing, reducing the brine strength by half and eliminating the wine, nuts and dried cranberries (I think all would be tasty, democracy won today). My husband said it was the best turkey he's ever had. Good luck everyone, remember its about enjoying your day.
No malfunctions yet but only because I was able to go next door to my neighbors for garlic, needed for both caesar dressing and black olive pesto. We're guests this year so my cooking duties are minimal.
Got another (hopefully) minor one. The inside of my turkey was still frozen despite having pulled it from the freezer on Sunday afternoon. The outside/meat was just fine, but the neck had to be wedged out with a spoon. I also didn't get any giblets that I could tell, although as I was scraping the ice out with a spoon, I might have stabbed a heart as it was a little bloody. Either way, no bag of giblets. Oh well, I figure nobody eats the inside of the turkey, I'm not doing stuffing in the turkey.
burned the bacon for breakfast... but don't start the turkey for a couple hours so no real mishaps yet. :) I'm sure there will be something!
turkey done WWWWAAAYYYY to early. does that count??? fortunately we are experienced at holding meat at temp from all DH's bbq. birdie is lovingly wrapped in foil, covered in towels stored in the cooler. will let ya know how THAT works, LOL!
My turkey registered as done - 170 degrees for the breast.....took it out & let it rest covered for 30 mins while the sides were prepped & gravy made.....well the breast was perfect BUT the rest of the carcass was almost RAW.....chopped it up & into the freezer it went for stock.....SIGH!
Per the recipe, I put my sweet potato casserole under the broiler for 3 minutes after adding marshmallows. The marshmallows were burned to a crisp. Thankfully they were easily scraped off and the rest of the dish was very delicious :)
So, I just got back from my sister's home where the family enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving. After the usual noshing, sipping and socializing, we sat down to a terrific dinner. There was the lovely brined Amish turkey, the ham, the mashed potatoes, the corn, the green beans, the biscuits, the salad . . . you get the idea. So I'm eating, thinking quietly to myself, "WTF . . . no stuffing?" Apparently, during the meal my 5-yo great nephew asked my niece several times for stuffing, but she shushed him.
Anyway, we're cleaning up in preparation for dessert and someone notices one of the ovens is on the keep warm setting. Yep, there's the huge baking dish of stuffing. My sister had decided to keep it warm until everyone was seated. Turns out everyone at the table (except my one sister, of course) was silently wondering why no stuffing, but we were all too polite to ask. That'll learn us . . . never be polite with family ;) Sis of course blamed BIL for not reminding her.
re: gaffk
It's not Thanksgiving without stuffing!!!
My only real fail was blind baking 2 crusts .. they shrank and puffed up even tho I weighted down. Did not bother to make filling (pumpkin), will try again with a different recipe in a few days, when I'm recovered.
This year, I made a list and paid attention so nothing was left unserved from the fridge or oven.
My butterball, using probe thermometer, came out the best ever; I don't think Thomas Keller could have served me more tender, tasty turkey.
re: walker
This is the year I fell back in love with Butterball, I should have taken a picture of the finished product. Like Norman Rockwell!
re: walker
My mother tried a Butterball for the first time this year, and it was the best turkey she's ever served. I was a skeptic, but it was beautiful and tasty.
I started making the stock for the giblet gravy when we got the bird into the brine. Opened the plastic wrap and pulled the neck from the cavity, Felt around for the giblets - nothing. My sister searched. We used a flashlight. We rinsed the cavity. No sign of them even thought the label noted "giblets included".
I went back to the grocery. The meat dept. guys opened a package of the same type turkey, pulled out the neck - no giblets. They were very apologetic and sent me home with three frozen containers - hearts, gizzards and livers at no charge. Super responsive and terrific (yea Publix)!
After brining we poured off the liquid and flipped the bird over to drain into the sink. As my bil was holding the turkey I noticed something at the tail end. Sure enough - the missing giblets!
We felt rather sheepish, but the meat dept. didn't see them either!
Other issues stayed minor. Put the raw celery in with the stuffing mix then realized the celery needed to be cooked first. Poured a fresh cup of coffee and began the tedious task of picking out the celery.
Three hours after the meal my sister remembered the cranberry sauce was still in the fridge.
It all worked out to be a really nice meal!
Put acorn squash in the hot but turned off over just to warm up, totally forgot about them, and ate our whole meal without noticing they were missing. At cleanup time I realized I'd never served them, found them with blackened skins in the over. The inside might still be edible for tomorrow.
re: bythebay
Would probably make a nice soup!
re: bythebay
If you make soup and love it, you'll never be able to reproduce the recipe again.
Just name it "accidental squash soup"..... ;)
I did a prepared meal this year from Whole Foods and of course I managed to encounter a blunder although it's supposed to be easy heat and eat. I decided to doctor up the mashed potatoes with butter, cream and roasted garlic. I guess I added a bit too much cream as I ended up with a pot of potato soup. As the potatoes are usually my favorite part of the meal, I was bummed that I might have to nix them. I didn't have any instant mash on hand to thicken and couldn't find a good solution. I baked them in the oven uncovered for what seemed like eternity and to my surprise they turned out perfectly! Now if I could only keep my fork out of the container in the fridge...
Two additional malfunctions:
Brought food to friends, forgot cranberry sauce in fridge.
Ran out of heavy cream and had to rummage fridge for dairy: found crema agria (itself a mistake, I had intended to buy sweet plain crema). Mashed potatoes are wondrous and will never be able to duplicate.
I did two turkeys, one was a traditional roast in the oven and the other was a spicy turkey on the grill. They were both done hours before I thought they would be. The oven roasted one spilled its broth and oil all over the bottom of my oven..producing smoke so that we had to open all windows and doors and get out fans so the smoke alarms didn't go off. During the scrambling for clean air, everyone arrived for cocktails and apps so I decided to make cranberry margaritas in the vita mix. I didn't look before I flipped it on (it was on high) and bright red sticky drink mix shot into the air and down the counters onto the floor. I was starting to feel like someone was pranking me. My family thought this was hysterical.
Everyone brought their dogs over so we dogs chasing each other in and out the open doors, smoke pouring out of the oven while we tried to clean it, but it was just too hot to get it out. Then one side of the double sink started leaking. Of course it did. A bucket came out, towels on the kitchen floor....
We were scrambling to fire up the grill again and use the upper oven for all the sides (still not cooked) when one of my daughters decided to bake some gluten free biscuits. Seriously? Now? I told her okay, because I thought she was only making a few from a mix. It couldn't get any worse.
No....she made the whole box on a gigantic baking sheet. It was never going to fit anywhere. I had a few glasses of wine behind me during this circus, and I said "how important are those to you?" and she said "very".....so I opened up the oven door a white billowy cloud of smoke poured into the kitchen....and threw them in.
Everyone was laughing at the calamities and we had plenty to eat and drink. I was surprised none of the food tasted smokey, we ate on time, and all the different dishes were wonderful. But, my kitchen looks like a bomb went off in it. The oven is cleaning now and a plumber will be here Monday. Thanksgiving was perfect! hahaha.
I roasted up my turkey neck, wingtips and backbone on Wednesday night and threw them into a pot with vegetable trimmings and 6 quarts of water to make some stock. Left it on LOW heat overnight, expecting to wake up to a couple of quarts of stock. Imagine my surprise when I found it had cooked down to just about a cup of super concentrated demi-glace. However, when added to the super-rich drippings and a bit of additional chicken stock, it made the best gravy EVER, according to my husband.
Otherwise, no major mishaps. My apple pie is more like applesauce pie this year, but I think that was due to lackluster apples rather than anything I did.
re: biondanonima
my sister's apple pies looked the same. delicious anyway, but very runny. :)
forgot the baked sweet potatoes, but we ate 'em on Friday instead.
Wore a new blouse and of course, got turkey fat all over the front. Blue Dawn to the rescue!
I thought I was going to have a complete disaster with the turkey, as it was my first year doing it. That, however, was fantastic and flawless.
The only issue was I ended up with no drippings to speak of. Luckily, Mom had purchased all of the chicken broth in the county, so we whipped together a plan b.
We do a co-op Thanksgiving at my sister's house with our families + nieces, nephews, significant others and grandkids (all under the age of 6). Tons of food, but somewhat chaotic. This year I was so busy helping/cleaning up, that I almost forgot turkey leftovers to take home. After my DH (I am using that term loosely) stomped into the kitchen and demanded to know why I didn't have a package of turkey, I grabbed one from the counter. The next day when he grabbed the package from the fridge, he threw another fit because I had stupidly brought home only dark meat. So Sunday, I trekked to the store, bought a fresh turkey and all of the fixin's and cooked a second Thanksgiving feast just so he would stop his whining. Right about now I really hate turkey.
re: PattiCakes
Great story! Hope you made him do the clean-up!

Butler County firefighters battle grass fires
Published On: Apr 07 2014 05:38:26 PM CDT

Firefighters from El Dorado and five other county departments responded to an out of control – controlled burn near 30th and Boyer.
Despite twenty-six mile per hour winds, quick work by firefighters, the land fill on the southern side, and some green broam grass on the eastern side, the grass fire was brought under control Monday afternoon.
A fire department spokesman said approximately 300 acres of pasture, 40 large round bales, and numerous fence posts were burned. El Dorado firefighters also put out a small grass fire on Topeka and 30th Street. The crew extinguished the fire quickly and joined firefighters on Boyer and 30th. No one was hurt and a damage estimate not immediately available.

How many have you have been asked to interview?
The technical test sounds ominous, one of those where it's either going to be the most basic questions on earth or really specific to the setup in the school.
David Hicks
Trouble with technical tests is that, with few exceptions, none of them have really tested "network manager" skils, all have been geared towards knowing what DNS stands for and that sort of thing.
Yes, exactly... basically questions from a prep microsoft exam.
I found they were scared to ask me questions... i guess they (SLT) don't have the knowledge and are afraid to convey themself as a bit silly, or they're dead scared of IT.

WORLD Superbike legend Carl Fogarty made an appearance in Wrexham to help raise funds for a hospice and cancer charity.
The four-time world champion was at the Wrexham Motorcycle Centre in Gwersyllt on Saturday as part of the Eco-ReadyMix fun day, raising money for Nightingale House and Macmillan Cancer, with a signed motorbike on display.
More than £2,000 was raised from the event, with a final total yet to be declared.
The fun day was partly inspired by the founder of the centre, bike-lover Roy Bolton, who died in January.
Eco-ReadyMix director Gary Billington, who helped organise the event, said: "The bike we displayed is one Carl is famous for, a Ducati 916, which I recently purchased from a collector and have had lacquered so Carl could sign it on the day."
Mr Billington added the chosen charities are close to his heart, following the death of his friend Mr Bolton, earlier this year.
He said: "Nightingale House and Macmillan Cancer have been chosen by Joy Bolton, Roy's widow. I grew up with him and he taught me a lot about bikes so this is a nice thing to do in his memory.
"Lots of suppliers made very generous donations for the auction. There was also a raffle, and the police motorbike display team were there."
More than 500 people turned out for the event, which included a question and answer session with Mr Fogarty.
Mr Billington added: "It was a brilliant day with a great turnout."

Street Exposure: The Photographs of Ronald Reis
Exhibit Dates: March 18-May 18, 2013
Opening Reception: March 22, 2013, 6:00PM
Location: Photography Gallery, Perkins Library
Contact Information: Kirston Johnson, kirston.johnson(at)duke.edu
Ronald Reis was born in New York City in 1935 and began taking photographs when he was twelve years old. He received his first camera, an Argus A2, as a gift from his father, sparking a lifelong interest in photography. From an early age, Reis focused his lens on ordinary people and the routine tasks that make up daily life. Inspired by documentary photographers Henri Cartier-Bresson, Helen Levitt, and Louis Stettner, Reis dedicated himself to street photography while studying at the University of Pennsylvania.
After graduating from college, Reis went into the family apparel business, which enabled him to travel extensively in Europe and frequently visit both New York and London. He quickly became a serious self-taught photographer, and his images were featured in numerous magazines and exhibits. For over fifty years, he has continued to photograph streetscapes in the United States and abroad. The result is a documentary record that captures the essence of everyday life and highlights the commonalities between different people and geographic locations. At the end of the day, the ordinary rituals of urban living are strikingly similar all over the world.
This exhibit focuses on photographs taken in New York and London over a ten-year period, mainly during the 1960s. At the time Reis was making many of these images, photography was witnessing a movement towards creating a documentary record of the everyday. In 1967, photo curator and historian John Szarkowski unveiled his influential exhibition New Documents at the Museum of Modern Art, featuring photographers Lee Friedlander, Diane Arbus, and Garry Winogrand. Like Reis, these photographers were interested in the art of observing and documenting the commonplace—the extraordinary within the ordinary. Szarkowski wrote in his introduction to the exhibit, "Their aim has not been to reform life but to know it, not to persuade but to understand." Likewise, Reis trained his lens on the ordinary people and events around him, in order to more deeply know and understand them.
The Ronald Reis Photographs collection is preserved in the Archive of Documentary Arts in the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, and the collection has been digitized and is available in the Duke University Libraries Digital Collections.

Indian Rosewood (CHOCOLATE)
Indian Rosewood is very strong and heavy, takes an excellent polish, and is a suitable wood for the black pieces in chess sets and for billiard cues. Often streaked with hues of purple and red, each piece has its own unique color.
The McCall is a smaller, petite women's frame. The silhouette is a cross between a wayfarer and a cat-eye. The wood used in these frames is sustainably sourced, making them environmentally friendly. Each frame is polished and coated with a water/sweat protective layer.

Updated: May 29, 2013 6:35AM
NEW DELHI — Legendary Indian singer Shamshad Begum has died. She was 94.
The singer had been unwell for some time, her daughter Usha Ratra told the Press Trust of India news agency Wednesday. She died late Tuesday in Mumbai. No independent confirmation was immediately possible.
Ms. Begum's funeral, held early Wednesday, was attended by close family members and a few friends, Ratra told PTI. The singer had lived with her daughter and son-in-law since her husband's death in the 1950s.
Ms. Begum began her singing career on radio in 1947, and her clear and pure voice touched the hearts of many listeners. She became one of the Indian movie industry's first playback singers, with several well-known actresses of her time lip-syncing to her songs. The industry's best-known music directors vied to get her to sing for them.
Ms. Begum was reclusive and self-conscious about her looks and refused to pose for photographs. Many of her fans saw only what she looked like in the 1970s.
Her songs from the 1950s to the early 1970s are still popular and continue to be remixed by music directors today.

The participants were encouraged to discuss different national programs and the positive values of Rwandan culture.
The Itorero tradition also provided the formative training for leaders of the nation. Itorero participants understood that cultural values could help them develop their judgment, psychology, work and mutual aid, life and collaboration with others.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A Las Vegas man has been sentenced to years to three to 10 years behind bars after prosecutors say he bilked Medicaid out of about $2 million and spent more than $100,000 of it at bars and clubs.
Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto announced the sentence against 34-year-old Ini Odong on Tuesday.
A jury found Odong guilty of charges including submitting false Medicaid claims, theft, and intentionally failing to maintain adequate records.
Investigators say Odong used another person's name to establish a company called Golden Heart Medical Supply, and billed Medicaid on behalf of non-existent clients.
Prosecutors say Odong withdrew about $300,000 in cash and spent more than $100,000 at bars and clubs using company account cards.
Odong was also ordered to pay $2.3 million in restitution and costs.

North up, Island down, rest is stable
B.C. property assessments: Proposed Northern Gateway pipeline project hikes northern values
Susan Lazaruk, The ProvincePublished: Friday, January 03, 2014
Unless you live in certain cities in northern B.C., where property values spiked as high as 26 per cent in communities affected by the planned Northern Gateway pipeline, or Vancouver Island, where houses mostly dropped in value, your house is probably worth more or less the same as last year.
B.C. Assessment released its 2014 property values Thursday, showing the assessed value overall for houses in the Vancouver-Sea-to-Sky region saw modest changes between minus-five to plus-five per cent over the year before.
"Across Metro Vancouver there has been a very stable assessment roll with some declines," said B.C. Assessment spokesman Tim Morrison. "In the north, they were definitely increasing and across Vancouver Island, we saw some declines." In Vancouver, house prices dropped 0.09 per cent overall.
A west-side single-family dwelling on a 50-foot lot dropped to $1,610,200 from $1,622,900 the year before, and an East Vancouver single-family home on a 33-foot lot dropped to $1,081,700 from $1,135,000.
But B.C.'s priciest mansion, belonging to the founder and recently resigned head of Lululemon Athletic wear, Chip Wilson, on Point Grey Road in Vancouver, still clocked in at $54 million.
Almost all of B.C.'s 500 most expensive houses and condos, from Wilson's place to a $7.5-million West Vancouver waterfront property, are in the west side, south Vancouver, the University Endowment Lands and West Vancouver, apart from one $12.8-million property in Whistler.
Vancouver Island was hit with some of B.C.'s biggest drops in value: Metchosin, down 9.98 per cent, Ucluelet, down 7.98 per cent, North Saanich, down 5.75 per cent, Duncan, down 4.28 per cent, Oak Bay, down 3.68 per cent and Victoria, down 2.7 per cent.
Across Metro Vancouver, the Seato-Sky and the Fraser Valley, Lions Bay was a standout decrease, at minus-12.17 per cent, and Belcarra residential properties went up 13.1 per cent.
Among the biggest drops in residential home values were Sun Peaks, at minus 7.04 per cent, Mission, at minus 3.4 per cent, New Westminster, at minus 3.51 per cent, Tsawwassen, at minus 3.16 per cent, Sechelt, at minus-three per cent, Richmond, at minus 2.72 per cent, Burnaby, at minus 2.44 per cent, Hope at minus 2.02 per cent and Port Coquitlam, at minus 1.74 per cent.
But parts of northern B.C. experienced huge jumps in values, led by Kitimat, at 25.66 per cent, where the average assessed value of a home jumped to $228,000 from $180,000 even before ground has broken on the proposed pipeline in the area.
The area's real-estate prices were hit hard a few years ago when the Eurocan mill in Kitimat closed after 40 years in business.
Also up sharply were New Hazelton, at 20.25 per cent, Mackenzie, at 18.68 per cent, Terrace at 9.66 per cent, Prince Rupert at 8.64 per cent and Fort St. John, at 7.92 per cent.
The priciest home in the north was a waterfront property in Prince George worth $1.8 million, and there were a number of houses worth $800,000 to $1.5 million in rural Fort St. John.
The jobs boom in Kitimat driving up prices is causing its own problems.

Being not a commentator but a fanboy cheerleader, flaming EU team in their faces on stage looks SO biased and unprofessional, it sucks, really.
Riot, what about your "fair sportsmanship" attitude ?
P.S. CLG, well played, but i'd like to see results of a game if it was played on EU grounds (or, better, in pure online).
When you get to the World FInals, please hate on SK. They did a good job and earned $3k and you didn't so they're 1 step above you.
God, get off this topic already. There was an EU commentator, he chose not to talk. The only reason your crying is because they lost. The "grounds" had nothing to do with it, it was completely new "grounds" for both teams considering 3 of there members are from Canada.
There were two commentators, one representing EU. Phreak was intentionally being biased to start a commenter war for the entertainment value. Quit making a huge ****ing deal about it, god ****.
EU's strategy fell apart when TF got banned and they showed that they didn't know, or understand, what the magic was of their first team that led to the victory. Instead they floundered about with useless 1v1 heroes and a liability of a Kassadin (0/6 with a soulstealer, really?). There were other heroes they could have chosen to keep up with the theme of Team Global Ultimate, but they chose to switch up to a synergy-less team against nothing but disables and area damage.
SK lost the match for themselves, not because of the venue, location, or even Phreak saying they were sad (and it was true, all 5 of them were extremely bummed they were getting ruined handily in the second and third games).
The commentators were specially set up "one american" and "one british" to match the rivalry between the teams. Even the British commentator admitted that his presence is to counteract Phreak's support for the NA server.
So please get off this topic already. Phreak did his job. The British commentator made some comments too, but the EU team was just being dominated in the last 2 games, which didn't leave him much room to flame against the NA's performance.
The rivalry is set, hopefully we get to see more intense fights next year.
Junior Member
A british guy was meant to be sticking up for germans? lol.
What was fail was the total one-sided domination of CLG after SK got their gimmick banned. nice to see a team going all the way to the world championship and than falling apart as soon as ONE char gets banned out from under them.

Fix the email first
Took a tour of the phone shops at the weekend. I have 10+ years of email arranged in 1000s of folders.
IPhone/iPad can't cope as it truncates the folder names.
Windows didn't appear to work with folders properly.
Android, too many to be sure, but my Nexus 7 can't cope.
That left me with my old Blackberry 9700 doing a fine job.
Apart from email, Windows looked pretty good though, but I don't use more than email & geocaching.
Re: Fix the email first
I'd say that the first mistake was keeping all your emails stored in the manner and I wouldn't expect my telephone to be capable of dealing with multi nested folders of anything. ( 2 or 3 levels is fine anything more becomes a pain in the arse because of the scrolling and selecting that is required). There comes a time when the nesting becomes so deep that it becomes difficult to extract anything easilly anyway.
I would say that you are trying to use the wrong tool to accomplish the task.
Re: Fix the email first
My WP8 seems to work with folders properly, what was the problem you found?
Lumia already run on "low-end" hardware - and how many apps one needs?
Both the 520 and 620 are already under the $200 boundary - unlocked. About the app "ecosystem" it's something highly overhyped. How many "apps" do you really need, and use? Besides games for the GameBoy generation, which apps the average user on a low-end smartphone really need? If you look at any store there are thousands of apps doing the same. Beware of judging a system just by the number of applications available - OSX - and even Linux on the desktop - has not the Windows "ecosystem" and nobody say it's a failure. Sure, for some company just counting the apps is a good marketing move, but it's really so imporant?
Re: Lumia already run on "low-end" hardware - and how many apps one needs?
I barely use any apps on my phone, so before work gave me an iPhone 5, I was a very happy Win Pho 7 user. But even I was annoyed by some obvious missing stuff. For example, I tried every single free torch app that didn't have horrifically broad user-permission (about half wanted access to address book for example) - and none of them were much good - a good number were horrifically crap. I suppose £1.00 is a small price to pay to get a better one, assuming they were any better of course, but for something as simple as a torch app I really resent paying.
Another app I wanted, as Android have it, was something to adjust the screen brightness without having to trawl to the second page of the settings menu. This is because when you're out in bright sun, and the screen is too dim to read, you can't see the menu to find the control. But you can peck at the button you've placed on screen. Simple stuff like this, little widgets, should either be baked into the OS or easily available. Win Pho lets you pin some commands to the home screen, but for some weird reason not others.
Anyway I digress. My point is that many people want apps, and will pick their platform for them. Even total non-techies like my Mum have an iPad with 50-odd apps on - and if she wanted a smartphone it would be the same.
Apparently many people even use a Facebook app for Windows Phone. Despite that being built into the excellent People hub - and Facebook being horrible. But you need things like BBC iPlayer/Sky/catch-up telly, I guess the major newspaper apps, Twitter, Dropbox, Skype etc.
MS could take something like $50m out of the marketing budget and put it into app development. That would get them a lot of widgets, and quite a bit of work from people like the BBC as well - and fill their app store up nicely. Things may of course have improved in the last year - but even I was disappointed with the options, and I bought the phone knowing I didn't want many apps.
Re: Lumia already run on "low-end" hardware - and how many apps one needs?
It's a fair claim that no number of available apps you don't want to use matters. That all that matters is if the ones you do want exist. Fair but incomplete.
A strong market does matter. It increases the chance that rare niche app only you and a 100 others want exists. It gives you a decent choice of competing apps where there is duplication - despite coming with built in browser, calendar, media player and clock apps I currently use better 3rd party versions on my phone.
If nothing else if spurs the platform holder to try harder with their own built in apps. Lack of a strong app environment is a sign of a weak platform in many different ways and affects even users that claim not to use downloaded apps.
Re: Lumia already run on "low-end" hardware - and how many apps one needs?
Flashlight XT is the app you want, if you ever get WP8. Very easy, one button, and you can swipe across to a full white screen if you'd rather use the screen as a light than the camera flash.
Screen brightness setting - you're right. Apparently no way to make that app with the current API.
Re: Lumia already run on "low-end" hardware - and how many apps one needs?
Lack of a strong app environment is a sign of a weak platform in many different ways
This is kind of specious though; actually WP app platform has grown faster than Android did in its equivalent days. There aren't as many apps right now as there are in the Android stores, but you can't say that's a sign of a bad app platform, especially considering the entrenched competition, whereas iOS and Android were far more blue ocean stuff.
Having done some Android development, while overall you can do more in it than in the other platforms, compare the tools available and the WP ones are really, really good.
Re: Lumia already run on "low-end" hardware - and how many apps one needs?
I seem to fall into a slightly different category - I didn't think I would use many apps (which I still think of as "programs"), but, since getting my Note a year ago, I have acquired and regularly use several that are better than the stock items, or have functionality that should have been, but wasn't on the phone, or which only make sense on a phone. Examples? - and note I use these regularly (daily or several time a week): "Co-pilot" for satnav; "MapsWithMe" for offline mapping; a compass widget; "Aldiko" ebook reader; a better Torch widget with three levels of brightness; an easier, more configurable sound-profile manager ("Sound Profile"); an LED-style clock for timing ("StudioClock"); a scanner ("CamScanner"); Firefox and Opera; a better app manager (AppMGR III); a better file manager ("Astro"); a sleep monitor ("Sleepbot"); Google Authenticator; a better calculator; and two Czech-English-Czech dictionaries (fairly niche, I suspect).
Would I go to a platform that didn't offer a wide range of apps? No, I wouldn't. Symbian was killed by too few apps, and Microsoft need to encourage people to be porting their existing apps from other platforms as quickly as possible if they are to survive.
