CAIRO — On the eve of a presidential election and two weeks before they are supposed to hand over authority, the military generals who were the power behind Hosni Mubarak's autocratic rule are more entrenched in control than anyone in Egypt had ever intended. That shows no sign of changing.
They are poised to have a president who will bend to their will, with no parliament or constitution to put checks on them for the near future. They are also in a position to mold the new constitution to their own purposes.
How did Egypt get to this point, after a revolution intended to sweep out Mubarak's old order and bring democracy? A ruling Thursday by judges he had appointed dissolved the freely elected, Islamist-dominated parliament and sealed the military's leading role. But it was only the latest step in a path Egypt was put on soon after Mubarak was removed by his military brethren on Feb. 11, 2011, in the face of 18 days of pro-democracy protests.
For 16 tortured months, three factors have shaped that course:
The military firmly controlled the transition.
The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt's strongest political force, tried to ride that transition to win power, but overreached.
And the young leftist and secular revolutionaries who launched the revolt were in too much disarray to bring their dreams to fruition.
The international scene also played a significant role: Saudi Arabia and the United States worried deeply about instability and saw in the generals someone they could or had to trust.
There was a brief glimmer of a possibly different route right after Mubarak fell and the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, headed by Mubarak's defense minister, stepped in to rule. The council promised to hold elections for a parliament that would oversee the writing of a constitution, then presidential elections.
The leftist and secular revolutionaries, particularly reform leader Mohammed ElBaradei, argued that elections supervised by the military would be a farce and any constitution would be tainted. Instead, they proposed a civilian leadership grouping the "revolutionary powers" immediately start to rule and oversee the constitution.
Divided and politically inexperienced, they were resoundingly overruled. The Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists — who had joined the revolt against Mubarak — broke with the revolutionaries and backed the military-run transition. They had no time for worries over military rule or talk of a revolutionary government, keeping a laser-like focus on elections in which they were confident of vaulting to power on a strong popular base.
Now the revolutionaries are saying: We told you so.
"A lot of time and effort went into campaigning for the presidential and parliamentary elections. They proved to be nothing, a scam," said activist Lobna Darwish. "It proved to be a distraction from working on direct street action, organizing people on the neighborhood and street level" to reach the revolution's goals and remove the military.
As a poster circulating on activists' social networking sites puts it: "The revolution asked for bread, freedom and social justice. They gave us troops, police and military police."
Gone is the parliament, the Brotherhood's main gain in the past year. Mubarak regime veteran Ahmed Shafiq, seen as the military's favorite, is competing in the presidential runoff election on Saturday and Sunday against the Brotherhood's candidate, Mohammed Morsi. With no constitution, the powers of a new president will be up to the military to determine even after it "steps down" as promised by June 30. The generals have taken over legislative powers, and they can pick the members of the body that will write the constitution.

North America: Largest market for automotive telematics
The North American region comprises of U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Mexico is an emerging market in this region. The United States New Car Assessment Program (US NCAP) is a flagship consumer information program by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In the coming years,US NCAP will adjust its rating system to reflect improvements in the safety features of U.S. vehicles. This will make it difficult for a vehicle to achieve top ratings unless it is equipped with safety systems, thus encouraging manufacturers to produce vehicles exceeding the minimum federal safety requirements. This is expected to positively affect the automotive telematics market. Also, mandatory regulations related to telematics services will also benefit the market.

Europe: Established market for automotive telematics system
Though the automotive industry in Europe is recovering from the downturn of 2009 and is now growing at a stable pace, the automotive telematics market is growing at a faster rate. Europe is a major market for automotive telematics and home to a number of automotive telematics hardware suppliers such as Robert Bosch (Germany), Magneti Marelli (Italy), Delphi (U.K.), and Continental AG (Germany). The concerns regarding safety of the driver and occupants has increased the usage of telematics services in this region. Mandating of equipping new vehicles with eCall has also increased the telematics market in Europe.
The report covers the automotive telematics market in terms of volume and value. Market size in terms of volume is provided between 2012 and 2019 in thousand units, whereas the value of the market is provided in $million. The market is broadly classified by regions (Asia-Oceania, Europe, North America, and RoW), focusing on key countries in each region

For the people who were having problems with this game it has now been updated, so it will work now.
I give this game 5 stars for sheer creativity. I WISH I had thought of this first. Seamlessy switching between familiar gameplay styles in such a way that each affects the other is not only unique, but well executed in this game.
it's not compatible with chrome but when played on IE it's actually a fun game.... *shakes fist at IE*
I assume it wasn't working because you are using an adblocker in chrome. We have made an update, please try again.
Few days, game still dont load.
I assume it wasn't working because you are using an adblocker. We have made an update, please try again.
Had no problems loading.
Is this... the best game ever? I'D SAY SO!!!!
I don't know what else to say. When I dream dreams about the perfect game, this is what I had always imagined. I'm glad to see it so seamlessly crafted.
I seem to take damage in Carrot Story even when I'm not so close to damaging blocks such as lava. I guess this is really a matter of preference.
As for Blast-Man Joe, movement seems a little quirky. I find it hard to make him turn corners. I practically have to stop moving and then change direction. Again, it's not a big deal, but take note for next time.
Again, THIS ROCKS! If you're having trouble playing it, then try to find a way. It's worth it.
I really woud like to play this game since most people seemed to have enjoyed it. But it wont run.

MFIC process enables spatial arrangement of carbon nanotubes
Abstract: Many companies produce bulk carbon nanotubes, and many groups are developing commercial products which incorporate them. A common need, for purposes of a particular desired functionality, is to organize the nanotubes as they are deposited in a linear or other designed pattern, by physical or chemical means.

"Jamming doesn't really yield great results," he admits. "I think some of the improv stuff we've done has turned out okay, but, ultimately, we don't really feel like it has a place in an album context."
So band members toil away at the demo process, each bringing in ideas and hammering them out in various stages. Meanwhile, McEntire squeezes in time to work with dozens of other artists, including The Sea and Cake, Spoon, and Stereolab. But Tortoise slowly and steadily keeps up the pace, releasing a new album every few years.
On Beacons of Ancestorship [Thrill Jockey], the band's sixth fulllength, intertwining melodies and cycling rhythms are still in full effect, but two key elements are missing. . . .
"We wanted to get away from the vibes and marimba," McEntire says. "It was becoming a bit of a cliché, so to fill in that gap, there ended up being a lot more keyboards."
Tortoise's writing process is deliberate and meticulous, but with no vocals to guide an obvious structure, song lengths vary wildly. For example, "High Class Slim Came Floatin' In" is 8:14 minutes, while "Penumbra" is 1:08. Although the band doesn't adhere to a stringent three-and-a-half-minute pop format, tracks were extended and cut down until they felt right. Originally, the pulsing and ever-evolving "Monument Six One Thousand" was only a minute long, but the band stumbled upon an interesting idea to build on it.
"We came up with this thing where the drums were triggering modular synth sounds that gave it a whole new dimension," McEntire says.
To do that, they routed the audio output from the acoustic drums in Pro Tools|HD 2 to the comparator modules in a C.M.S. modular system to trigger a gate.
"You can set a threshold in these modules, and then it will send out a +10-volt gate signal to whatever you want that's on the trigger," McEntire explains.
Modules from The Harvestman, quirky synths (including the EDP Wasp), and ideas molded in Ableton Live were responsible for other experiments throughout the album, but sound-shaping creativity aside, McEntire is a stickler for getting the fundamentals down right. He spends hours tuning drums, finding the right spot for the kit in the room, and placing mics. To deal with mic bleed, he starts with baffles and steps up to samples where needed.
"Hi-hats can be a bit of a problem if they really overpower the snare," he says. "So we sometimes try to make a physical baffle between the hat and the snare. But I'm also not opposed to using SoundReplacer when it seems helpful, although I use it more as an add-on than a fullon replacement."
McEntire is a fan of wide stereo imaging, but he is careful with phase relationships when positioning mics.
"If you have two channels completely out-of-phase, you're going to get this crazy, hurts-your-head stereo thing happening," he says.
He appreciates near-coincident mic pairs for their wide, stereo-imaging effect, but using mid-side pairs is his favorite overhead drum-miking technique.
"That works really well, because you can control the stereo field in post-production," McEntire says. "And you can adjust the side level relative to the mid in your mix, as opposed to having a coincident pair, where you're stuck with the left and right channels as they are."
For both the mid and side positions, McEntire uses small-diaphragm Schoeps condensers that are easy to position, although he'll sometimes use a ribbon mic as the side element to capture a different tone. He also uses spectral panning to achieve a wide stereo image.
"I've got a couple of multiband band-pass equalizers from SND and C.M.S., and you can take the output of each channel and pan those around so you get the spectrum dispersed throughout the stereo field."
Other outboard gear includes a Massenburg DesignWorks MDW EQ and 8900 compressor, an Empirical Labs Distressor, and an EAR 660 limiter/ compressor—all routed to a Trident A Range console.
For guitar, McEntire often mics lowwattage amps from a distance of three inches, blending signals from ribbon and dynamic mics. The band also uses Bassman 4x10 and Music Man 2x12 amps, and favor '60s Fender Jazzmaster and '80s Gibson ES-335 guitars.
But gear and techniques aside, there's always time for recording tomfoolery. On "The Fall of Seven Diamonds Plus One," percussion sounds like bags of chains hitting the ground. McEntire mixed spring-drum and thunder-sheet samples from the Vienna Symphonic Library with real drums, and, yes, chains.
"We took this pile of chains and dropped them on a bass drum," McEntire says.
After all, all work and no play makes studio time a dull chore.
Mid-side miking gives you control over the stereo image and ambient information. It's typically achieved using a mic with a cardioid pattern for the mid (capturing the direct sound), and a mic set to a figure-8 pattern for the side (capturing the ambient sound). The mid mic faces the source directly, and the side mic's diaphragm is placed perpendicular to the diaphragm of the mid mic.
These are my comments.

Social networking start-up Path will pay US$800,000 to settle charges with US federal regulators that it improperly collected personal information on children.
The company also agreed to submit to 20 years of independent privacy reviews to settle charges that it secretly collected information from its users mobile phone address books.
The settlement, announced by the US Federal Trade Commission on Friday, is the latest between the agency and web companies for privacy violations.
San Francisco-based Path triggered a privacy controversy in February 2012 when an independent software developer in Singapore discovered that the company's iPhone application was uploading users' address book data to its own servers without permission.
Path CEO Dave Morin, who was an early employee at Facebook, quickly apologised for the incident at the time and said the company had deleted all the "contact information" it had collected.
The FTC said on Friday that in addition to having uploaded users' address book information without permission, Path had also violated federal privacy laws by collecting the personal information of roughly 3000 children without getting their parents' consent.
In a post on the company blog on Friday, Path acknowledged that it had failed to reject children under the age of 13 from registering for the service.
"There was a period of time where our system was not automatically rejecting people who indicated that they were under 13," Path said. "Before the FTC reached out to us, we discovered and fixed this sign-up process qualification, and took further action by suspending any under age accounts that had mistakenly been allowed to be created."
Under the terms of the settlement, Path, which lets mobile phone users share photos and other information with small circles of friends, will obtain independent privacy audits every other year for the next 20 years and establish a comprehensive privacy program.
Online social networking companies have faced increasing scrutiny and enforcement from privacy regulators as consumers entrust ever-increasing amounts of information about their personal lives to web services.
In August, Google agreed to pay a US$22.5 million fine to settle charges that it bypassed the privacy settings of customers using Apple's Safari browser. Facebook settled charges in 2011 that it deceived users by letting advertisers collect some of their personal information.

Drs. Natasha Ungerer and Kayleen Gloor have recently opened Clarendon Animal Care, located at 3000 10th Street N., Suite B.
The location previously housed Ellen's Futons, but has been transformed into a state-of-the-art veterinary care facility. Build-out renovations were completed just before the New Year and the hospital has been open since January 5. Drs. Gloor and Ungerer have been delighted by their new professional home and the warm reception they have received from clients and neighborhood residents.
"We really wanted to open in Arlington, and in Clarendon specifically, because there was a local need, and folks around here are very invested in the human-animal bond, which is something we aim to foster by providing the highest quality veterinary care… and I have the added benefit of being able to walk to work!" said Dr. Gloor, who is a neighborhood local.
"We've bucked the standard 15-20 minute appointment norm, and have made 30 minute appointments our minimum" said Dr. Ungerer. Both veterinarians emphasize client communication and education as the foundation of their practice.
"I don't ever want a client to walk out the door not knowing why I chose the tests or treatments I did — or to feel confused about what they're supposed to do for follow up" said Dr. Gloor, who takes pride in her diagrams, client handouts, and use of non-medical jargon in appointments to ensure clients have the necessary tools and information to make informed decisions about their pet's care.
The vets' approach to their clients and patients can be summed up by one of their clients, Stephen Harris.
"[Drs. Gloor and Ungerer] have been taking care of our four legged kids for years and we are so happy they have their practice together now," Harris said. "They are thorough and thoughtful, they have always made sure we understand everything going on with our kids when they were not well. They have gone out of their way to check up on the pups when they were sick, even calling on the weekends. We just got a chance to check out their new state-of-the-art veterinary clinic and wish them the best of luck with the Clarendon Animal Care!"
Hospital services include: comprehensive medical exams (wellness/preventive care, domestic & international health certificates, and sick pet/urgent care exams), as well as general soft tissue surgery, dentistry, digital radiology, and in-house and reference laboratory diagnostics.
Clarendon Animal Care is open:
- Monday – Thursday from 7:30am – 7:30pm
- Friday from 7:30am – 5:30pm
- Saturday from 7:30am – 12:30pm
Check out their website www.clarendonanimalcare.com, or visit them on Facebook. Appointments can be made by phone at 703-997-9776, email at email@example.com, or via website request. If you happen to be in the area, feel free to stop in to say "hi," meet the doctors and staff and get a tour of the clinic.

Looking for a small, affordable, private, Christian day school with a small town community feel? Can you appreciate a school that begins each day with the students reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and singing My Country 'Tis of Thee?
Then please come visit the open house at Our Savior Lutheran School, which will be held Saturday, January 24th from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Come see a hidden gem of a school which has been in the heart of Arlington providing education and service since 1952. The school is conveniently located close to the Pentagon and Route 50 in Arlington.
Grades Pre-K (age 4 by September 30) through 8th grade are offered with very small class sizes (only 20 students per class). The elementary school grades have self-contained classrooms, while the middle school is departmentalized. The school also has one of the lowest tuition rates in Northern Virginia. The dedicated, caring teachers work hand-in-hand with an active community of families which make this school thrive.
Students are encouraged to start a life of service through various opportunities:
- Weekly chapel offerings are designed to various groups in need for our neighbors in Arlington and around the world
- Walk for the Homeless and preparing bag meals for A-SPAN
- Letters to pen pans (elderly members of the church congregation)
- Stop Hunger Now — the entire school helped prepare dry meals to send overseas

The Eden Center celebrated its 30th anniversary last month — complete with dancing, music, and a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Local dignitaries, community and business members, and customers joined the celebration. As locals know, Eden Center (6751 Wilson Boulevard) is a Vietnamese shopping center in Falls Church — just across the Arlington border — that offers an "authentic Vietnamese vacation without the jetlag."
"The Eden Center first opened its doors in 1984 and today is recognized as a major cultural tourist attraction and the ultimate Vietnamese shopping experience. We open a new chapter today by celebrating our 30th Anniversary and the Grand Opening of our newest tenant, the Good Fortune Supermarket," said Alan Frank, VP and General Counsel of The Eden Center.
The new Good Fortune Supermarket spans an impressive 44,000 square feet and is the largest international grocery store inside the Beltway. It is also the first that utilizes 100% LED lighting together with an energy efficient roof and HVAC. Expansive fresh seafood and produce displays are already attracting customers from Arlington, D.C., Alexandria and Fairfax County.
For local Washingtonians, we are lucky that an authentic Vietnamese experience is right in our backyard. The Eden Center is a cultural and economic home for Vietnamese-Americans and a unique cultural experience for all visitors. The face of Eden Center showcases architectural designs reminiscent of historic and modern day Saigon, including avenues named after famous Generals who served in the South Vietnamese Army. Experience the roots of the culture through the more than 115 Vietnamese restaurants, retailers, and service stores.
The cuisine offered at The Eden Center businesses is one that is most impressive; it attracts patrons near and far. The Eden Center is the local home to the sought after dishes of phở and bánh mì. Eateries within the center have gained acclaim from popular shows such as Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" and the Food Network.
The well-known restaurant, Rice Paper, was recently named one of Washingtonian Magazines "Best Restaurants". Eden Kitchen, and its famous "Pho Factory" brand of pho is one of the largest restaurants at Eden Center.

This sponsored post is satirical in nature. It was written by the DC Bocce League.
Bocce, a sport long linked to elderly Italians that is now popular with the young, urban set, continues to expand its influence in Arlington with a new location along Columbia Pike at the revered P. Brennan's.
At the helm of this expansion sits the DC Bocce League, which is leading the sport's march into the South Arlington neighborhood to make way for its upcoming Winter 2015 season. Long rumored to "ruin the lives of children" and known as a gateway for "dads to get drunk," Arlington residents will find it even more convenient to fall into the clutches of this supposedly nefarious activity.
"Ruining the lives of children is what bocce is best known for," explains League president, Sarah DeLucas. "And the DC Bocce League will do what it can to forward the sport's ultimate mission."
Yet with this new indoor location, it remains unclear how the bocce leadership intends to carry out its scheme as all players must be at least 21 years of age.
For 10 years, the DC Bocce League has transformed itself from a 50-member club into a social sports empire, running bocce leagues all over D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.
Previously, the League operated only in the Ballston and Clarendon areas within Arlington. However that will change on January 21st, when bocce makes its debut along Columbia Pike at P. Brennan's. Outfitted in color-coordinated t-shirts and supplied with food and drink specials, weekly prizes, and free parties, bocce players in the DC Bocce League should have no problems enjoying themselves on a Wednesday night.
"And ruining the lives of children," insists DeLucas.
Yet no evidence exists of this claim. In fact, the opposite was found to be true, as the DC Bocce League commits a percentage of revenues to charity, including organizations that benefit children. When pressed, Ms. DeLucas declined to cite the number of children whose lives were actually ruined in pursuit of bocce glory. It seems only time will tell if the sport's true mission will ever come to pass in Arlington.
* * *
The DC Bocce League invites Arlington to join us this Winter at P. Brennan's on Wednesdays for good times, great people, and bocce starting January 21st. Bocce does not actually harm children. The only harm this League might inflict is on the livers of its 21 and over participants. Sign up here: www.dcbocce.com
Il Forno Ristorante (900 N. Glebe Road) in Ballston has some great specials lined up for the holiday season.
To celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes, an Italian-American tradition, Il Forno will be serving fish specials Christmas week.
To make the last night of 2014 memorable, Il Forno has a special evening planned for New Year's Eve. For $55, a three-course, prix fixe menu will be served from 5:00-7:30 p.m. and from 8:00-10:00 p.m. The latter seating will also have a five-course option for $75 — as well as a champagne toast.
(Prices do not include tax and gratuity.)
The restaurant's non-seasonal specials are just as exquisite: weeknight happy hours from 4:30-7:00 p.m. offer cocktail specials developed exclusively for Il Forno by Francesco Amadeo. There's also a rotating list of wine and beer specials, which fit well with its small plates menu.
The small plate specials include pork belly with caramelized green apple ($1) and Brussels sprouts with confit turnips, apple vinaigrette, fresh nutmeg and parmesan ($4), to name a few.
Executive Chef Jason Mayle, formerly the corporate executive chef with D.C.'s Stir Food Group, took over the kitchen earlier this year. Since then, Il Forno has seen dramatic changes — particularly with its new brunch menu.
Delivering "tantalizing, new twists on fresh, locally sourced foods," Chef Mayle makes his goal for the new Sunday Brunch clear: "to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary, including new twists on traditional brunch favorites … like our new, truffle chicken bowl with a 'truffle-icious' sunny side up egg, avocado, tomatoes, toasted faro and quinoa, and goat cheese."
Il Forno is the perfect venue to host luncheons, dinners, or even cocktail parties for holiday festivities. Chef Mayle is offering custom menus for large parties, while guests can enjoy an airy, modern dining space and or semi-private area for special occasions.

Skyline Wellness Center Opens New Arlington Location (Promoted)
An innovative concept in healthcare and wellness has opened in Arlington.
Skyline Wellness Center has been in business since 2008, and provides its patients with "integrative healthcare focusing on the following areas: acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, medicine, nutrition, physical therapy, psychotherapy, and sports medicine."
The clinic's new Arlington location at 1600 Wilson Blvd, Suite 320, in Rosslyn, is scheduled to open on Monday, January 5 , 2015. They are already accepting appointments. It's their second location, and part of a strategic approach to expand the footprint of the clinic in the Washington D.C. area.
CEO and founder Ivan Santos says that the wellness center provides patients with an experience in healthcare "unlike any other." Their mission is simple: keeping you healthy and happy. Their goal: finding natural and organic approaches to manage your health and wellness.
"We don't want people to have to choose between traditional medicine and complementary healthcare approaches," Santos says, "we give them all the options in one convenient location."
All the practitioners at Skyline Wellness Center work as a team to offer a natural approach to health care. The experience is enhanced by easy check-in and check-out processes, online scheduling with same-day visits, accepting all major insurance plans, and encouraging email follow-ups with your doctor.
The clinic's two founders, Mr. Santos and Dr. W. Jean-Luc Sansfaute, refined the clinic's offerings by putting as much value on healthcare as in the "patient experience".. Their flagship location in Alexandria expanded earlier this year to accommodate a growing demand for their services. They are clearly on the right track.
"Our patients were and continue to be an important part of our evolution process. We are who we are because we listen to them. They were the ones that told us what they wanted to include in a one stop healthcare clinic and how to combine all practice areas," writes Dr. Sansfaute, who also acts as the Chief Patient Officer for the clinics.
The wellness center has "led the effort to change how our community views and uses healthcare." The new location is more convenient for Arlington residents, only three blocks north of the Rosslyn metro station.
"We are looking forward to becoming more involved in the Arlington community… and continuing to make changes to accommodate patients that value a higher level of service in healthcare."

Now Open: Oasis Nail Spa on Wilson Blvd (Promoted)
In the bustling, fast-paced county of Arlington, a tranquil haven called Oasis Nail Spa has opened at 1918 Wilson Blvd, a short walk from the Courthouse and Rosslyn Metro stations.
Owned by a family that has specialized in beauty services for 15 years, Oasis Nail Spa aims to provide a high quality spa experience for both men and women. Co-owner Kathy Nguyen, a former nail technician, knows of the abundance of nail salons and wants to offer something different.
"We didn't want to make a regular old nail salon," said Kathy. "We wanted to create a true spa-like experience that everyone can enjoy."
A luminous, shimmering chandelier dangles over the main area. Calming music sets the relaxing ambiance and warmly welcomes people as they step into the spa, where they can choose from a wide range of nail, waxing, facial, and massage services. From a standard manicure that includes a paraffin wrap, to a smooth waxing session, to deep-tissue body massages, men and women can pamper themselves with the numerous options at the spa.
Newly opened on October 17, the beautifully-decorated spa has brand new appliances and strides to maintain a clean environment. All equipment is thoroughly sanitized. The spa also showcases hundreds of high-quality nail polishes, ranging from normal nail polish to gel and acrylic.
"We wanted to bring a little bubble of paradise, an oasis, in the midst of an exciting city," said Kathy. "Sometimes we get so caught up with life that we need to take a step back and relax. People just need to unwind and pamper themselves from time to time, or have some fun with their friends."
Catering to the vibrant Arlington lifestyle, Kathy wanted to try something unique by hosting exciting "Happy Hour" events every Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m. During these events, people can mingle with their friends and drink beverages while enjoying discounted services. For December, Oasis Nail Spa is offering 10% off spa pedicures during Happy Hour.
People can host special events at the spa as well by appointment, whether it is a birthday celebration, a bridal party, or just a relaxing get-together. People can bring their own food, drinks, decorations, and music. The spa can provide some privacy for these parties in the pedicure room, which is separate from the main spa area. Group parties of at least six people receive a 10% discount.
"We really strive to surpass expectations through our friendly hospitality and outstanding service," said Kathy.
To celebrate its opening, Oasis Nail Spa is offering $10 off services of $60+ and $20 off services of $120+, limited one per person.
Oasis Nail Spa welcomes both walk-ins and appointments. To make an appointment, please call 703-522-1918. Hours of operation are: Monday-Saturday 10 a.m. – 8 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Fire Works Pizza in Courthouse (2350 Clarendon Blvd.) is launching a new cocktail menu, and will hold a "Roaring '20s" party next week to celebrate.
Perhaps best known for its pizza and beer, Fire Works is tackling what it sees as an underrepresented market — artisanal cocktails. The new cocktail menu (below) offers modern takes on classic cocktails like the sidecar, the old fashioned and the gin and tonic.
"The inspiration for the cocktail menu is simple… classic cocktails that seem familiar but are reimagined for contemporary times," Fire Works mixologist Jason Silerto said. "Twists on an old favorite that will have you curious enough to want to try something new, yet recognizable enough so you sort of know what's in store."
"Seasonal ingredients are always key to a successful menu," Silerto continued. "Lighter, more quaffable drinks may dominate a summer list, whereas heavier, throat-warming concoctions feel more apropos come the cooler months."
Fire Works will hold a Roaring '20s party next Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 6:00 p.m., to celebrate the cocktail menu launch. The restaurant will serve complimentary hors d'oeuvres from 6:00 to 7:30. A special price for the new cocktails will be in effect from 6:00 to 9:00.
The event is open to the public and attendees are encouraged to dress as "flappers and dapper gentlemen." You'll know you're in the right place when you see the red carpet and rope line and hear the live jazz band. You might also see the well-dressed crowd at the photo booth inside.
The new cocktail menu features the following:
- Peach-Habanero Manhattan (peach-habanero-infused Makers Mark / sweet vermouth / gin barrel-aged orange bitters)
- Rosewater Negroni (Boodles Gin / Campari / sweet vermouth / rosewater)
- Watershed G&T (Catoctin Creek Watershed Gin / house-made orange and fennel Tonic / club soda / cucumber slices / celery bitters / fresh-ground pepper garnish)
- Calm Before the Storm (Goslings Black Seal Rum / Cointreau / fresh lime juice / Maine Ginger Brew)
- Let it Slidecar (Flor de Cana Rum / Remy VSOP / Cointreau / fresh grapefruit juice / basil leaf / basil sugar rim)
- Jasmine Tea & Elderflower Gin Rickey (Plymouth Gin / St. Germaine Elderflower Liqueur / jasmine tea simple syrup / fresh lime juice / club soda)
- Old Sappy Fashioned (Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye Whiskey / maple syrup / Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters / orange slice / cherry)
- Mediterranean Bloody Mary (Bakon Vodka / Mediterranean Bloody Mary mix)
- Peruvian 75 (Macchu Pisco / St Germaine Liqueur / blackberry brandy / Brut Champagne)
- Unprovincial (Ketel One Orange / creme de violette / white cranberry juice / lemon juice / cherry juice)
- Ward 2.0 (rye whiskey / orange juice / fresh lemon juice / house-made rosewater grenadine)

Bush ad aimed at tax votes, Democrats tackle Vietnam controversy
- Mike Sunnucks
- The Business Journal
The Bush campaign has unleashed a new television advertisement in Phoenix and other battleground media markets that hits Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on taxes and the economy.
The Bush TV spot points to Kerry's votes in the U.S. Senate against tax cuts (including expansion of child tax credits) and in favor of some increases, including some on gasoline taxes. The GOP contends that Kerry's tax policies would hurt the middle class and the economic recovery.
The Kerry camps calls the ad misleading, citing votes in which the Massachusetts senator supports small business and child tax credits.
Kerry opposed tax cuts pushed by the Bush administration and passed by Congress in 2001 and 2003. Arizona and national Democrats say it's the Bush administration which is not helping the middle class, citing rising health care and energy costs and the offshoring of manufacturing and technology jobs.
The Democratic National Committee has been running ads in Arizona criticizing Bush's economic record.
Bush has called for more job training, tort reforms, expanded Alaskan oil drilling and continued tax relief to address those issue. Kerry favors tax credits for firms that create jobs in the U.S and a reworking of free trade pacts and tax policies so U.S. firms do not benefit from moving jobs overseas.
The Kerry campaign has also unveiled a new Internet ad that may end up on TV. The ad invokes Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain in the controversy over the Massachusetts senator's service in Vietnam.
McCain backs Bush in the presidential race, appearing with him at numerous campaign stops. However, the Arizona Republican has refused to criticize Kerry -- a U.S. Senate colleague and fellow decorated Vietnam veteran. McCain has also been a harsh critic of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads that question Kerry's service and combat commendations.
The Kerry ad equates criticism of his Vietnam record by some conservative veterans as similar to the negative campaign tactics and nasty personal attacks used by some conservatives against McCain in the 2000 South Carolina Republican presidential primary.
The spot cites McCain criticism of the anti-Kerry ads and calls on President George W. Bush to specifically call for them to stop running.
The ads are run by an independent group and Bush on Monday called for all independent ads to be taken off the air, including the one by the Swift Boat group.
The ads stem from a book written by the anti-Kerry group which questions the circumstances and documentation revolving around the Democratic nominee's time in Vietnam.
Democrats say the effort is a smear campaign.
McCain has appeared with Bush this summer in several key states including Arizona, New Mexico, Florida and Washington state.

OK Mint you win! I am impressed.
Decided since it was a typically sunny English summer day (blowing a gale and pissing it down) that it might be a good time to try installing Mint onto the laptop I use for work (previously had a 10.04LTS install which has behaved well).
Background: I've used Linux since the 90's, run Linux as my primary operating system at home and work and run a bunch of servers all running Linux as well, I'm not a Unix god but I can get around.
* Installation, As expected smooth (as it should be, even Debian have a slick graphical installer at this point), detected time zone correctly as London (even the Ubuntu installer falls down on that one) and was installing while it waited for input, very nice.
* Initial Boot, Damn! that is pretty.

Full StoryI was invited to dine at Café Momentum Friday night for one of their soft opening dinners. The space has come a long way since I stopped in a couple of weeks ago. Dark wooden tables adorned with orange gerbera daisies lined the dining room, which was buzzing with a young staff dressed in black and white gingham pearl snap western shirts. In between the lull of songs (primarily a mix of doo-wop and '60s hits) the sound of entrees sizzling erupted from the open kitchen. It was a lively accompaniment to the neon white strobes of light that shot in every few minutes from passing DART trains. And while it wasn't bustling (this was a soft opening, after all) a steady flow of diners were seated throughout the evening.

Full StoryI recently revisited Jeffery Steingarten's "Salt Chic" piece in "It Must've Been Something I Ate." In the essay, the Vogue food critic explores the validity of exotic salts, and questions whether or not they're worth paying extra for. "Now, every gourmet store sells costly varieties of salt in a rainbow of colors from the world over. Food fans who once brought back unusual olive oils to their friends back home now come bearing bags of exotic salts," he writes. Later in the piece he conducts a salt taste test. I thought it would be fun to oversee my own salt taste test this week. The sea salts tasted included a Himalayan pink salt, black lava salt, fleur de sel, Brittany sea salt, Alaea red Hawaiian salt, and sea salt from Trapani. Unfortunately, not all of my co-workers felt the same. "We're tasting salt?" one questioned. Another shot me a serious stink-eye and sneered, "this is gross." I promised them something much more delicious next week.
