The growing acceptance of bring your own device (BYOD) at enterprises comes with promise and perils.
Our next BriefingsDirect discussion examines why the users' personal use, ownership and maintenance of the computing and mobile devices of their choosing is making more sense for more organizations. We'll learn about how and why through the example of one company, Quest Software, that has begun supporting BYOD -- even with the full blessing of IT.
We'll see how this has had benefits far beyond just the users' sense of empowerment, in terms of meaningful IT advancements in centralized applications, control and support, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) use, better disaster recovery (DR) practices, better data protection and more. And we'll see how Quest has used a number of tools to manage the risks.
Here to share insights into how BYOD can work well at Quest Software, and even into their new corporate owner Dell, is Carol Fawcett, the CIO of Dell Software and the former long-term CIO of Quest Software. The interview with her is conducted by Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions. [Disclosure: Quest Software is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
Here are some excerpts:
Gardner: I'm really intrigued with this BYOD thing. Just a year or two ago, people were saying, "What?" and scratching their heads, saying, "Are you kidding? You're going to let your users choose their device?" But as this has been put into place and some of the implications have been thought through, it seems to be an interesting possible benefit set.
So let me start with where you began. What were the challenges, or what were the forces or trends at work, too, that got you all at Dell Software involved with BYOD?
Fawcett: I don't think that we actually necessarily started down the path of a BYOD project, because as many listening will know, this started years ago. We started a project where we said we wanted to enable our users to access applications and data on a select set of devices, which for us started with the obvious, the iPad. Then came the Android smartphones, and the list continued on.
This list will continue to grow as time goes on and new devices are brought in. The good news is that there are product offerings now in the marketplace that are helping with that demand and helping IT departments everywhere.
So instead of looking at it as BYOD, it's now turned into a BYO-x phenomena that the C-level started. And as everyone in an organization saw them bringing different devices into meetings, of course, they all wanted to jump on the bandwagon. Slowly but surely, the wave began, and that's how we got where we are today.
Gardner: This is interesting. There is a sort of direction from the user side, which is to say, they probably like the choice and they had some personal preferences, or they've been able to be more productive in their personal lives using certain technologies.
Then there has also been this direction from the enterprise, which is to say, they like the idea of centralizing, controlling apps and data. And then delivering those out to devices (like with VDI) can be a way of encouraging this control. It's almost like a confluence of two forces -- VDI and BYOD -- that make a whole greater than the sum of the parts. And we don't see that very often in IT.
Pull it together
Fawcett: It's one where you have to pull the needs and the demands of an IT organization together with what the users want to go to, and that's just what we're seeing out there everywhere in the industry. You definitely have to pull it together, try to satisfy the IT governance and the policies that we set up, and balance that against what the users are saying: "I have to have this in order to get my job done."
Gardner: It sounds as if some of the basic principles and benefits of VDI come to play here. That is to say, the provisioning, the control, the access management. So is there a fortuitous intersection of where VDI was entering into more and more organizations -- particularly those that want to control for security or regulatory purposes or intellectual property (IP) control, that sort of thing -- with this idea of multiple devices, multiple panes of glass, full mobility.
Did that play a role there, too? Were you already going down a VDI track or trajectory and this helped you get to BYOD quicker and better?
Fawcett: We started down the VDI path. In fact, many companies did years ago, when we started to do more with offshore resources. We wanted to have offshore resources, we wanted to give them desktops, but we wanted to make sure they were secure. That was the first introduction of where VDI makes a lot of sense, where you want to secure data, have folks doing coding, but knowing they can't take code with them. That's the way it started.
We are a technology company, so some of our policies may be more relaxed than the policies of companies outside our realm.
But then you start to find other use cases for VDI that really start to benefit the rest of the user community. VDI is one of those things that started a while back and now has slowly grown into this BYOD solution.
Gardner: Did you know how much BYOD was going on there? How did you find out and how would it become something you could control?
Fawcett: That's the question of the hour. I'd love to be able to say that we knew exactly how many people were bringing in what kinds of devices, but the reality is, we are a technology company, so some of our policies may be more relaxed than the policies of companies outside our realm.
For example, in a bank or in the government, you can pretty much lock down an environment, and every employee coming in knows it's going to be locked down because of who they are and who they work for.
Our organization is made up of technologists located around the world. You know some of them are looking for ways around the fences. It's just built into their nature. It's almost like a competition for them, "Can I figure this out?" Now add in the remote and traveling users and you can see how this expands the challenge as time goes on.
Gardner: Was there anything in particular in the Quest Software portfolio that you think gave you an on-ramp, perhaps a better return on investment (ROI), and even overall better control and management, as you move toward this BYOD, support of many panes of glass, centralized IT management direction?
Fawcett: Yes, we are drinking our own champagne, and it all goes back to where you just asked me if I knew how much BYOD was actually in our environment. That's where we started using one of the first phenomenal tools that we have, which is called MessageStats. This is a great tool that reaches out and helps us track the trending within the organization at a macro and micro level. We know which devices and OS versions are being used, by whom, and at what time.
It provided a critical insight as to which virtual desktop technologies provide the best fit for each user, based on their needs.
In fact, I asked my team just recently, when we first started talking, "Can you pull a list on all the devices that I use, that are registered to me?" So I saw my own list of the devices and I was shocked to see how they actually are tracked, right down to the level of when was the first time I ever connected the device to the network, last successful sync, last policy update, what kind of device was it.
It was so granular, and quite frankly, it was so very Big Brother-like, it kind of scared me. But again, you can't make a solution for what you don't understand. So assessing with MessageStats is the only way to go.
Then once we understood it, we said, "Now that the process is moving, let's figure out what type of device is right for what type of user." And this is where we turned to vWorkspace, which enabled us to determine which of the users and scenarios are best suited for the virtual desktops in the data center.
In addition, it provided a critical insight as to which virtual desktop technologies provide the best fit for each user, based on their needs. So vWorkspace allows us to not only put a desktop in the data center, but it lets us do things like application streaming and publishing. It really enables us to have that broad spectrum of functionality with just that one tool.
Once we were up and running, we stepped into the management and governance aspect of the project. This can probably be one of the most problematic areas, when you think about the pure nature of BYOD. Multiple devices for a given user, each acting very differently, and if not managed, could destroy any governance policy put in place.
Understanding the individual
This is where we truly must raise the issue up from the device to the individual, understanding that role of that person and understanding what security rights, regardless of the device they need to have in place. And this is where Quest's One Identity Management came into play.
It gave the IT team the ability to rely on one point of control for an individual and all their devices. This is the product we count on to pass the audits, and most importantly, to ensure that our employees have that right level of access needed to get their job done.
The final key point on this is that it takes IT out of the mix and automates that very cumbersome process of provisioning, moving employees amongst departments, and then finally de-provisioning, when that employee leaves.
This is a very powerful product that makes it so that in our environment, once an employee is entered into the HR system, through automation, it automatically provisions them, gives them the rights to applications, sets them up inside of those applications -- all without IT involved in that process. So no more passing help-desk tickets.
One other piece that I wanted to touch on is a product called Webthority that we have been using, not only for our internal users, but also during the M and A process. This is a great product, because it provides a portal for the employees to come into. Once again, it's secured via that same network log-on that they use when they walk in the door in the morning.
This is anywhere, any device. It's simply a portal. They come in, they use their network log on, and bam, they're shown all the applications that they have visibility into and access to. They can go in, without having to log on again, almost like a single sign-on effect, which allows them to access the applications via two-factor authentication as well. It's a great product that helps out in many ways.
Remember, the key to any IT success is through the happiness and satisfaction of the customers.
And then that final aspect of an environment is, of course, the support and monitoring. Remember, the key to any IT success is through the happiness and satisfaction of the customers. We recognize that supporting and monitoring their experience and performance is most important, especially when you talk about VDI, which is what you and I have been talking so much about.
Our job is to ensure that the end-users are getting the same type of performance that they would on a standalone PC or if their desktop was in the data center. Because without that consistently great performance, your end-users will fight giving up their desktops every time.
For this, we turned to monitoring that user experience with Foglight for Virtual Desktops. Being able to quickly determine which users are impacted by performance problems helps us to proactively take action for those users, before the users feel the pain.
Understanding the trends in the virtual environment -- how many people are connecting at any given time, what applications are they using, etc. -- helps us determine when we might need to add additional servers to that server farm, and to meet the load. Or we can even look at a desktop or an end-user and say, "You know what? I don't think these folks should be virtualized at all. Perhaps they should go back to being physical" -- for whatever reason.
Empirical data
You can't correct what you don't know and you need that empirical data to make an educated move. Foglight gives us that data, ensuring we are consistently improving the environment for the end-users. It's a great set of products that touch on all three phases of an environment or a team that's trying to solve this BYOD issue.
Gardner: As we learn more about how you've done this there, let's also explain to our listeners that Dell recently acquired Quest Software, and you were at Quest before that. So tell me a little bit about how the confluence of these two companies also comes to bear on this issue of BYOD?
Fawcett: Let's start with Quest Software. Where our sweet spot was, and still is, was that we are the IT management software provider that offers a broad selection of software solutions to simplify and solve the most common -- and most challenging -- IT problems for all areas of an IT environment -- from infrastructure, to applications, front-end to back-end, physical or virtual, or even out in the cloud, for that matter.
Dell was looking for a company whose tools could and would complement and expand their own software product offerings in the four strategic areas that they were focused on, which Quest obviously aligned with. Those were systems management, security, business intelligence (BI) and applications.
So you can really see why the partnership between Quest and Dell is such a great partnership and offers so much to the industry.
It's about individuals that are using different devices accessing a set of applications inside your data center or under your control.
Gardner: If I were a CIO at another firm and I wanted to learn something from your experience about moving to the support of multiple devices, what's something that you might offer in terms of what to think about early on?
Fawcett: As you approach the subject you have to really level-set with the team that this is not about devices that an individual will want to use, but instead it's about individuals that are using different devices accessing a set of applications inside your data center or under your control.
This individual, obviously, should have only one set of access rights across all the environments, based on what that person's role is within the company. The different devices that they use should really be an afterthought. Regardless of the device, their access rights need to remain consistent.
If I'm on a desktop, a laptop, or I bring in a tablet, or if I'm using my phone to get email, it shouldn't matter. I should have that same, consistent UI and the same, consistent security rights to get where I need to go to do my job.
Don't get me wrong -- and we know this; we hear it at every conference we go to -- IT will struggle with the management of the many devices, no doubt. The only thing I can really suggest there is something we did.
Different devices
We took that gigantic list that's out there and we said, "Where are we going to offer different devices?" We're going to pick maybe 10 or 20 different devices, the most common ones that people are bringing in, to support going forward, with the hope that you will be able to satisfy about 80 percent of the employed population.
It does, however, all go to the user experience. You have to keep coming back to that, making sure they have the ability to get to the right data and the right applications, with the correct security rights for their job.
Story of adoption
As I mentioned before, for us, it was not about the devices. We tried to turn that around, and it was kind of handy, because the whole consumerization of IT started to come into the industry more and more. So we started to piggyback on that.
Think about it. A device is simply a means of accessing the apps and the data. Our vision instead turned into trying to figure out a way to provide employees with a world-class overall user experience, from beginning to end, encouraging the culture of openness and innovation.
In the end, our goal is to offer our end-users that ability to use a flexible set of tools and toolsets with a familiar interface that allows for secure access anywhere, anytime. We want them to be comfortable with those tools, as this will make them obviously more productive at doing their jobs.
At Quest, we have some wonderful tools that help us understand this environment and help us recognize who is bringing in devices and how they're being used. We're getting a better sense of what's in our environment so that we can start answering these.
Gardner: Let's look at this through the lens of IT. You decided that you're going to support BYOD with the blessing of IT. What does this get for you? Are there some additional benefits other than empowering the end-user or giving them choice? What's there for you in terms of better support for your centralized operations, applications, data, and then some of those backup and support functions that we all should be doing regularly?
Regular backups
Fawcett: One thing that really helps out IT is the thing you just mentioned, which is making sure that laptops are being backed up on a regular basis. We know today, and I'm sure many of us on this podcast are thinking, "How many of us actually back up our laptops on a regular basis?"
Those who do it are saying, "Well, doesn't everyone do that?" But you could guess that inside of a large organization, probably the majority are not responsible enough to do it, because it's just not in the forefront of their minds.
When you talk about VDI and having a desktop in the data center, it's a guaranteed thing, because it's in the data center. Everything in the data center is backed up. That's one real positive -- making sure that the data is secured. Obviously, when it comes to DR, we could quickly recover an environment. So that's a great thing for IT. And I think that, in general, the end-users would love that as well, as they get into this world more often.
Gardner: Looking a little bit to the future, more organizations are adopting software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications for non-core business type applications. We're seeing more interest in cloud, consuming applications from a public cloud environment or the hybrid environment, whether it's public or private. Is there something about your support of applications as centralized to multiple devices that will enable you to exploit SaaS, cloud and hybrid services to a greater extent?
Fawcett: Most definitely. It goes back to the tools that you're using to assess, manage, and govern and then support the end-users. IT has to make sure they have those tools in order to make sure they're supporting the end-users regardless of where their data lives.
It's a given that inside your data center you have virtualized as much as possible.
Certainly, the cloud and the SaaS environments are adding extra buzz in the industry. We're very interested in how to capitalize on that. How do we make sure that we're looking at elastic computing, and where can it benefit us? Everybody is scrambling to understand this new technology trend better and how it can help an IT organization.
But it does go back to the tools that an IT organization has in order to match those three things that we should always be doing, which is assessing what the users and the environment need, managing it, making sure it's secure, and then making sure again that we're able to support those end-users to their fullest and the way they expect to be supported.
Gardner: My thinking just a couple of years ago was that BYOD was going to be the exception, not the rule. You would support some sort of a fringe category or two of your workers with this capability, perhaps those out on the road, more often than not.
But now, as I hear you, it sounds that the direction that most IT is going to go in, hybrid services, delivering and consumption and management, and a more centralized control over data, IP, and management of apps and delivering desktops themselves as services, are all going to be making BYOD, or at least the blocking and tackling that you would need to do anyway, something that comes together in such a way that this might become more the norm than the exception. Do you think that's what's happening?
Fawcett: Absolutely. It's like when virtualization was first there. There was a wave of "how much could you virtualize inside your data center?" Fast forward, and now it's a given. It's a given that inside your data center you have virtualized as much as possible, so that you can ensure that your data center is being used the most it can be and the most efficiently.
The way it's going
This is the same way this is going to be. Just talk to your kids. Try to find a child walking down the street and isn't texting or who doesn't have a tablet and can probably manage it better than their parents.
I'm not talking about just young children but generations to come. I'm talking about the kids who are coming in now, in their 20s and 30s. it's a given that they want to use whatever device they choose in the corporate world, just like they do at home. It's a right. It's no longer considered a luxury.
From that view, it will be up with the internal IT teams to ensure they have the access to everything they need, with the right security in place to protect them, as well as protect the company. That's why when you think about some of the tools that we've been using here, you really want to make sure you bring in some of those tools, so that you can, in fact, assess, manage and support the end-users to the best of their ability, for not only the end-user, but also for the company.
Gardner: It really strikes me too that this isn't really about devices, but it's about the data center, the tools, the management, the governance, all of which are probably things that are good IT best practices anyway. It almost sounds as if BYOD is forcing discipline, governance, automation; some of the basics of good, advanced and modern IT. Is that sort of what you are seeing, is BYOD a catalyst to better data-center management?
Fawcett: It can definitely be used that way, because it does all go back to how an individual in a given role gets access to the applications they need to get their job done. It shouldn't matter which device they are using. It's all about which application access they should have to get their job done.
Gardner: Of course when you put in the best practices, when you have the backups and you have the scheduling and the automation, this all will end up being an economic benefit as well, because you won't suffer terrible outages, you won't have issues of discovery for data when you need it and how you need it.
Of course, you can start to look at your total cost for your data center and tweak and manage for energy, facilities, capacity and utilization. It sounds as if not only is BYOD a catalyst for better data center practices, but it could be some significant means of reducing your total cost of operation.
It's all about containing the IT budget through best practices and automation.
Fawcett: Absolutely. We've always looked at containing IT budgets as a means to an end. When you sit back and think about it, the only way to do that is through simplification, standardization and automation.
If you don't have that last piece, that automation piece, and you're simply throwing heads to solve an issue, your IT expenses are going to go through the roof. And you're going to have unhappy customers in the end, because processes are going to be overcomplicated. It's all about containing the IT budget through best practices and automation.

DEFINITION of 'Set-Off Clause'
A legal clause that gives a lender the authority to seize a debtor's deposits when they default on a loan. A set-off clause can also refer to a settlement of mutual debt between a creditor and a debtor through offsetting transaction claims. This allows creditors to collect a greater amount than they usually could under bankruptcy proceedings.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Set-Off Clause'
If a debtor is unable to meet an obligation to his or her bank, the bank can seize the customer's current deposit. Set-off provisions are not limited to loans between banks and their customers, but are also widely used in other industries, such as construction.
The Truth in Lending Act prohibits set-off clauses from applying to credit card transactions; this protects consumers who decline to pay for defective merchandise.

Scientology Has Secret Alien-Themed Doomsday Compound In The New Mexico Desert
A science fiction movie sprung to life — the vast bunker is where Scientology's elite will hide out when civilization breaks down, and the gigantic etched symbols, visible from above, likely are messages intended for the extraterrestrials who created humanity. Via Live Science:
… Read the rest
A secret bunker hidden deep within the deserts of New Mexico is reported to be the "alien space cathedral" of the Church of Scientology, according to a BBC reporter. The site is marked by a large symbol etched onto the desert floor: two diamonds surrounded by a pair of overlapping circles, according to the British newspaper The Sun. A private airstrip, built to serve the controversial church's leaders, is within walking distance of the symbol.
Journalist John Sweeney claims the church designed the underground site to withstand a nuclear holocaust. Hidden within the complex's vaults are titanium caskets that hold gold disks inscribed with the original texts of Scientology founder L.
Scientology Charged With Illegal Medicine, Breaches Of Privacy And Extortion
So what is this, unfair persecution of a religion or finally a justice system willing to take on a criminal enterprise cloaked as a church? From the Daily Mail:
… Read the rest
Belgian federal prosecutors are preparing to bring charges against the Church of Scientology as a 'criminal organisation', it has today been reported.
It is believed the charges of fraud, illegal medicine, breaches of privacy and extortion have been drawn up against the Church and two senior executives.
It is believed the charges relate to employment contracts issued to recruit volunteers and members in breach of Belgium's strict employment laws, the Telegraph reports.
Prosecutors are investigating claims of extortion, illegal use of 'pseudo-medicine' and the keeping of records that go against privacy laws.
According to De Standaard, raids on Scientology offices in Belgium allegedly revealed evidence that the group had spied on and extorted money from converts.
"Shit Scientologists Say"

David Miscavige Set to Reveal Scientology Tech Upgrades Saturday
Scientology looks like it's taking a page from the Steve Jobs playbook:
This Saturday, Scientologists in the Los Angeles area are being asked to come to a "confidential briefing" that is so secret, they will be asked to sign special bonds at the door.
At that briefing, they will be told for the first time about major changes coming to the Church of Scientology — changes that we first told you about in June.
What has been rumored for months is actually here: Scientology leader David Miscavige is taking one of the biggest risks of his life and is revealing the alterations he is making to L. Ron Hubbard's "standard tech."
But is the Church of Scientology actually ready for his "Golden Age of Tech 2″?
Send Your Children On A Scientology Caribbean Cruise

Scientology-Linked Oklahoma Drug Rehab Center Facing Lawsuits Over Rash Of Patient Deaths
Operating a chain of addiction clinics based with detox regimens based on the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard appears to be working out very badly, Tulsa's KJRH reports:
… Read the rest
Yet another lawsuit has been filed against a Scientology-linked Oklahoma rehabilitation center in the wake of recent deaths at the facility.
Shirley Gilliam, whose son died in Narconon of Oklahoma care last October, filed the third suit against the organization in three months. Stacy Murphy's family sued earlier this month; Hillary Holten's parents sued in August. Gilliam's son, 32-year-old Gabriel Graves, of Claremore, was found dead in his room at the Pittsburg County facility.
The suit alleges Graves "requested over-the-counter pain relief and permission to see a physician" earlier that day for a headache and was denied and told a physician was not on staff. The lawsuit targets the facility's connection with Scientology, calling the center a "corporate sham and illusion" which misrepresented to potential patients the care they would receive.
Inside The Application For Scientology's Sea Org
Ex-Village Voice editor Tony Ortega obtained a copy of the forms to apply for Sea Org, a hardcore Scientology program in which one leaves one's former life behind and permanently relocates to a compound to perform manual labor.

The Music Of L. Ron Hubbard
WIRED on Pseudo-Scientology Movie 'The Master'
I've maintained a wary interest in the Church of Scientology since reading L. Ron Hubbard: Messiah or Madman? (co-written by Hubbard's estranged son Ronald DeWolf, and ,sadly, now out of print) as a teenager. I'm not a huge fan of Paul Thomas Anderson's work, but I'm still thinking about seeing his new film The Master, a movie about a man who falls under the sway of a Hubbard-like cult leader.
WIRED's Hugh Hart has reviewed the film, praising it as an elegant dissection of "cult psychosis":

The Master casts its own weird, R-rated spell not because it yields shocking revelations or clever plot twists. We never learn why Freddie's such a high-strung mess, though his World War II combat experience would seem a likely source of trauma. Nor do we find out where Dodd — a character inspired by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard — comes from or how he acquired his gift for wrapping people around his stubby fingers.

The Deeper Christian Life
by Andrew Murray
If you were put on trial for being a Christian, would you be convicted? Christians have asked themselves this question, or ones like it, for millennia. In his book, The Deeper Christian Life, Andrew Murray helps us come to grips with those nagging insecurities in our Christian walk. A shallow relationship with God leads us down a road of doubt and insecurities. Can I be forgiven? How can I forgive? Murray tells us that we can go deeper in our relationship with God, and with that deeper relationship comes growing confidence and joy in the gospel. That joy springs from the knowledge of God's grace in forgiving us, and enables us to extend that grace to others in our lives.
-The Christian Classics Ethereal Library

As Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu noted, the move may very well be a signature on a death warrant for the Palestinian entity.
"The one who should fear the International Criminal Court at The Hague is the Palestinian Authority, which is in a unity government with Hamas, a declared terrorist organization like ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) that commits war crimes," Netanyahu warned.
"We will repel this latest effort to force diktats on us, just as we have repelled the Palestinian turn to the [United Nations] Security Council."
Legally, the ICC's Rome Statute forces the Palestinians to undergo the same scrutiny as any other member nation, and to abide by the same human rights standards as well. Thus the PA "unity government" — which includes Gaza's Hamas terrorist organization — can now legitimately be held culpable at the ICC for its use of its citizens as human shields, among other war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by its terrorists during its war with Israel in summer 2014.
Abbas signed the Rome Statute and 21 other international treaties just a day after a draft resolution submitted by Jordan on behalf of the PA was voted down at the United Nations Security Council.
The resolution called for the withdrawal of all Israel Defense Forces from Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria (all areas conquered in the 1967 Six Day War) by 2017. The move would have left more than half a million Jews living in those areas completely defenseless in the face of an already escalating deadly intifada.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman also had harsh words for Abbas, saying he "can sign whichever treaty he wants. [But] the only ones who have committed war crimes in the conflict here are the Palestinians."
Citing countless lethal attacks and "indiscriminate murderous terrorism against babies, children, women and men over the past 100 years" by PA Arab terrorists, Liberman warned Abbas not to threaten Israel, "the nation with the most moral army in the world."
Economics Minister Naftali Bennett also scored Abbas, saying that "he who has the evil of terrorism spread throughout his head should not venture out into the sunlight."
Bennett labeled the PA leader as one of the "greatest inciters of terrorism," noting that Abbas is a "veteran Holocaust denier who should approach the Court as a defendant only."

Can't fault it, will be going back, can't believe it was so quiet though, seems like "the best kept secret " in the area
What a great restaurant. Some of the best food I've had for years. Would not hesitate to return. All home made food, faultless.
Just returned from fantastic meal at kitties - food amazing & presentation even more so. Don't be put off by the facade ' shabby french chic is well in in my eyes. Duck in peach brandy & green peppercorn delicious & garlic mushroom starter best in years & month blanc dessert well what can I say to die for :-)...
It had been some time since we had been to Kitties so we planned a pre-christmas visit. We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed the appetisers while picking our courses.
For starters I had the Smoked Haddock crumble and Mrs F had the Belly Pork and Quails egg salad both were new to us and were excellent. For mains we had...
A welcoming hostess, top class food, good wine, excellent value.
Each course was faultless even down to the coffee and petit fours which rounded off a lovely evening.
We hadn't previously dined at Kitties Restaurant, but without doubt we will eat there again.
Everything was perfect, from the quality of the food, to the service & hospitality we received.
The only other thing I can say is,"If you haven't tried Kitties Restaurant, do yourselves a favour & make a reservation, you won't be disappointed ".
Lovely food. Would have considered it expensive for a 'normal Saturday night', but not for our wedding anniversary. Be prepared to wait as all the food comes fresh to the table. Between courses, we had various nibbles. Worth a visit!
It's the first time we've been to Kitties, although we've often looked through the window and wondered. It's been there now over 20 years. Anyway, we went last night and had a delicious meal with lots of extras brought to our table as we went along. The food was presented well and was freshly cooked in the restaurant. It's a...
My friend and I are fairly regular visitors to Kitties. We often go to celebrate birthdays and other special occasions. Up to now it has not occurred to me to write a review so here it is! The service is professional and attentive without being intrusive. The dining area is comfortable and spotless. There is a good choice of drinks....

REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Iceland officials say the eruption of the Bardarbunga volcano that began in August has come to an end.
Officials said Saturday the area will be closely monitored for any changes that might pose a threat to the population.
The announcement came after several weeks in which the seismic activity has been gradually subsiding.
Officials said the threat level of possible disruption to air travel has been downgraded. There had been fears the eruption could cripple commercial air traffic.
Scientists warned there is still gas contamination in the area surrounding the eruption site.
The announcement was made by the Icelandic Met Office along with civil protection experts and the Environmental Agency of Iceland.

My husband and I recently booked a carriage ride and had such a great time. Cyndi was an excellent tour guide, and the horse "All That Jazz" was amazing. We booked last minute and were accommodated. I would highly recommend this trip!
Beautiful carriage and wonderful horse. My husband reserved a ride last minute and we had a blast. Cindy knew so much about Amelia Island and she was wonderful to talk to. She took her time with us and made us feel comfortable. You can tell she has a lot of experience and love for her horses. Loved the experience!
Miss Cindy & her hard working partner, All That Jazz, were great! We were allowed to pet him & take pictures with him. It turns out they provide a forever home to all of their horses. Cindy entertained us with historical facts as well as some local legends and ghost stories! (She asked if we were interested in hearing them...
Love the tour of the Island with Cindy and Boomer they are great. Boomer loves people and ice cream such a beautiful horse.
If you want to know the history of the locals who were here and established Amelia, got to take the ride! Besides they give you inside info sometimes that is not part of the tour.
We decided to go on the carriage ride after having dinner at the Salty Pelican. We went over to the corner of Ash and 2nd Street but we did not see the horse or carriage and we decided to call the company. I happened to have a flyer from their company with me. When I called Cyndi told me she...
We enjoyed a very relaxing, informative tour of the historic district on a Saturday evening. Our guide had many stories to share about the area. Well worth doing.
Short carriage ride around the historic district. Friendly and knowledgeable driver. We even gave the horse treats before and after the tour.
We were waiting at the parking lot, googling things to do when we saw a large white horse pulling a carriage. Given that it was late in the evening and the beaches were closed, we decided to give the carriage ride with Cyndi and Boomer the horse a shot. Cyndi was a great storyteller, and she really brought the history...
Our family of 4 adult did this one evening while staying on Fernandina Beach. They did a great relaxing job and were very informative.

21 Dec 2011 06:40 GMT | Latin America, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay
An Argentine government minister has been found hanged in his hotel room in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo during a summit meeting of the South American trade group Mercosur, police said.
Ivan Heyn, 33, Argentina's undersecretary of trade, was found dead at the Radisson Hotel on Tuesday, Jose Luis Rondan, a police spokesman, told a news conference.
"He apparently died by hanging" with a belt, Rondan said. He said police were trying to determine whether it was a suicide, a crime or an accident. A Uruguayan official earlier said that Heyn had committed suicide.
An investigating judge told local media that the circumstances surrounding Heyn's death remained unclear.'Tragic incident'
News of his death shocked the Mercosur summit, attended by the presidents of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Argentine President Cristina Kirchner de Fernandez was informed about the death while she was attending a closed door meeting of the presidents, and was so upset she was seen by her doctor, according to the Uruguayan official.
But Kirchner, who is supposed to assume the presidency of the bloc during the summit, later returned to the meeting with the other presidents.
Organisers meanwhile cancelled a planned official picture taking of the South American leaders.
Security presence was stepped up at the hotel, where some of the leaders attending the summit are staying.
Argentina's embassy confirmed Heyn's death, and said in a statement that Uruguayan authorities were taking "all the necessary legal steps with regard to this tragic incident."
Heyn was a promising economist who belonged to the Peronist youth group La Campora that supports the government of Kirchner and supported the previous administration of her late husband, Nestor Kirchner.
A former leader of the Argentine University Federation, Heyn was an undersecretary in the ministry of the economy during Kirchner's first term in office. He took up his new post just 10 days ago after Kirchner's re-election.
A telegenic commentator, he was often featured on state television explaining government policy.

Blastcamp Paintball
During the Cold War, anything could happen. The US military's response to this reality was to ring every major metropolitan area with defensive missile bases that could launch Nike antiaircraft supersonic missiles at any time. The goal was to make attacking the United States so costly that the Soviets would not dare try. One of the roughly 20 bases defending the Chicago area was Nike Missile Base C-47, a 14-acre site built between 1954 and 1956. Surrounded by 8-foot-tall cyclone fences, the base housed three underground concrete bunkers, three launchers, five radar towers, a fallout shelter, and day barracks.
Today, the Cold War is safely tucked in the nation's memory, but much of C-47 still remains. However, instead of military personnel coming and going throughout their 24-hour shifts, it's paintball and Airsoft players who creep along the 10 sprawling fields, simulating the warfare that luckily never occurred on the base. The terrain includes many of the original features—such as a mess hall, army barracks, and satellite towers, which host strategic meetings and midbattle naps. Referees enforce special safety rules for minors to keep games safe and organized.
