TERRIBLE. Our food took going on two hours to get here. The guy on the phone corrected me the second time we called that it had been "96 minutes." Everything was freezing cold. Cold, small portions, and overpriced. Never again.

Better off buying frozen Indian food from Whole Foods, your order will show up cold and need to be reheated anyway. After waiting the ample 60-75min delivery timetable, we called to check the status of our order. After telling us they'd check with the driver and call us back. No call. We followed up after 5mins and the response was curt, their driver had been "pulled over by the cops." Inquiring if we'd be refunded when our foods arrives cold over 2hrs after the confirmation they made it clear there would be no compensation. The only thing they could offer was that the food was in a hot box and should be warm. They have great food, but are rude, habitually tardy, and offer no amicable solutions to $50+ orders that arrive ice cold. If you use seamless to get deliveries, you can't count on Tawa...it'll never show up.

I think Tawa has upped its game in the last few months. Their food has been very good. The saag paneer and breads have been especially good.

Love the food but hate the delivery service. Best suggestions, either order an hr before you want to eat or just to pick it up. We order from here a lot bc we just love the food. There aren't a lot of options here in ct in general but Tawa is my favorite so far.

Their delivery service is TERRIBLE. The estimate was 30-40 minutes and it's been an hour and fifteen minutes so far and there's still no food. If it ever gets here, it will be cold. The restaurant has no idea where the driver is though they will tell you that he is only "minutes" away. AVOID THEM.

Good solid Indian food. I benchmark all my indian meals on the quality of the Rogan Josh. I found Tawa's not too spicy but with a good taste. I think one of the best Indian restaurants in the Greenwich/Stamford area. I have never had delivery issues like some of the other reviewers.

Ordered from Tawa today for the first time. While the prices are high, the menu items looked good and we were in the mood for Indian food. Placed the order at 8:21pm. Seamless confirmation email said delivery within 30-45 minutes. After 45 minutes, we called the restaurant. The person who answered said Oh No, delivery is a minimum of 45 minutes to an hour, but the delivery person just left. After 15 minutes (and we literally live less than 5 minutes away), we called again. This time, the person said let me call you back after I call the delivery person. We never received a phone call. I called Seamless and they canceled the order. What a first impression! Needless to say, we won't be ordering from them again.

Food is good but delivery service is horrible. Several times food takes 1-1.5 hours to arrive. A few times it has taken over 1.5 hours and arrives cold. Tonight, it never arrived - they claimed they didn't receive the order even though it was confirmed with Seamless.

Good food, but we will never order a delivery from this place again. The delivery service is absolutely inadequate . It took us 1h45 min to get the delivery on a Friday night (first it took the restaurant 20 mins to pick up the Seamless order, then 1h25 min for delivery) but we had decided to give Tawa another chance because the food is good and prices are reasonable. The second time the delivery took exactly 1h55 min instead of the promised 1h15min. I am wondering how long my food has been driven around STamford. Not ordering from there again unless I plan my dinner around my lunchtime

Beware - Most Rude Delivery Guy Ever Encountered - We eat in at this restaurant often, we like the food, and everyone is friendly. I placed an order and got a call from the delivery guy who was wandering around the dry cleaners next door and who proceeded to berate me from not giving him clear directions (so much for writing those in the "special instructions" box with my order. He was really incensed and didn't seem capable of engaging in civilized communication, and when I walked over to meet him, he basically called me an idiot and accused me of giving him the wrong address, speaking over me and raising his voice. I honestly don't think he read the instructions I wrote when i submitted my Seamless order - and he didn't even seem to know what Seamless is. I was alone and, being quite smaller than him (and female), felt threatened by his demeanor, so I backed off, but not before telling him Tawa just lost a long-time customer. He lost it at that point, told me he didn't care, and yelled after me as I quickly walked back to my apartment, but thankfully he didn't follow me. Bottom line: That guy is unfit to interact with customers! The incident had me shaken up and it took me a while before I could eat - and then I realized the restaurant had mixed up my order. All in all, a headache and a shame. Never again, and I will be telling friends and neighbors to avoid getting delivery from here.

This is the worst Indian food I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot of it. After ordering from them twice this week, i believe the "chef" would be well served by looking up some recipes on the internet. The phaal (1st order) was completely inedible. While phaal should be made with green chilies, this was basically a thick paste of crushed red pepper, black pepper and god knows what else. My seond order, a so-called vindaloo, was essentially day-glo red shrimp in a day-glo red sauce - it took tasting it to see that all they had done was to add water to tandoor shrimp and throw in two slices of potato to call this a vindaloo, so it wasn't even spicy and certainly didn't include any vinegar or tanginess. Extremely dissapointing! While neither of these is a true Indian dish (the former being an English concoction and the latter from Goa but influenced by Portuguese cooking), they shouldn't put them on the menu unless they know how to cook them! The lemon rice I ordered specially was okay, but had a lot of rock-hard nuts or seeds of indeterminate origin which made it unpleasant to eat. The poppadums were soggy. The only items that were good were the plain naan, the spinach & cheese stuffed naan and the white rice. I had eaten at the restaurant before and had a much better experience, but perhaps management or the cooks have changed? Regardless, I will never order from Tawa again.

The Derbyshire region
The ultimate in "year-round" appeal, the Peak District offers countryside, picturesque villages and magnificent scenery. It touches upon six counties and encloses 555 square miles of open moorland, flowing rivers, and wooded dales.
This small hamlet of farms and houses sits between Taddington, Monsal Head and the River Wye in the Peak District. It has some spectacular scenery and Monsal Head is famed for the magnificent view along Monsal Dale and the Wye Valley, and offers some amazing walks. The Monsal Trail takes walkers along a former Midland Railway track, over a majestic viaduct above the river and into a tunnel which goes beneath Monsal Head, understandably making this a popular route with walkers. Bakewell, a picturesque market town, lies just seven miles away and has a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs, and there is a farmer's market held once a week, usually on a Monday. This area makes a fantastic base for a holiday in this stunning location.

UPDATE: Illinois House committee OKs commission to recommend fixes to $96 billion state pension crisis.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - A House committee is considering a proposal to create a commission that could reform the public pension system without legislative input.
Pension-reform sponsor Rep. Elaine Nekritz called House Personnel and Pension Committee to a meeting Tuesday afternoon to consider an amendment to her bill. She said earlier she didn't think she had enough votes to pass comprehensive reform.
The change would create an eight-member commission to come up with recommendations by April 30 for closing a $96 billion deficit. It could enact those reforms with a majority of five votes unless overturned by the Legislature.
Gov. Pat Quinn told the committee the panel was like the federal commission that closes military bases. He called the measure "extraordinary action" to help break the gridlock.
The bill isSB1673

Day 20 of my virtual advent calendar, about stuff I like in SQL Server 2008..
The accidental DBA is a DBA who ends up looking after SQL Server as part of a number of other duties e.g. Exchange admin, developer etc. This often occurs because SQL Server can survive pretty well despite long periods of neglect, but then suddenly something goes wrong and then someone gets nominated to look after it post fix.
As databases grow in complexity and size they do eventually need some attention, and some tasks can be bit daunting if you not immersed in SQL Server every day. There are excellent add on tools from the likes of Idera, Quest and Redgate to ease the management burden, but SQL Server 2008 itself has a few things to help with this:
A lot of this stuff (Policy Management, Central Management Servers, Powershell) will work against SQL Server 2000/2005 so all you need to do get started is to have one instance of SQL Server 2008 as a base (for the Central Management Server) or just the client tools for the rest.

Cheryl Cole and Will.i.am have been involved in a car crash leaving both injured after their car ploughed into a parked car.
Cheryl and will are believed to escaped with minor injuries. Copyright: [wenn]
Photos emerged of Cheryl Cole's nose streaming with blood as will clutched his head following the smash.
Witnesses at the scene say they saw the pair hit a parked car in their Cadallac that Will was driving at around 3:30am, Cheryl was sitting on the passenger side.

[Related Article: Who wore it best? Cheryl Cole or Jesy Nelson?]
Will's injuries are believed to be mainly due to the impact of the air bag which was released after the crash.
However, no air bag is believed to have been released on Cheryl's side and it's reported she banged her nose on the dashboard which resulted in the bleeding.
Will and Cheryl have both tweeted to say they are fine. Copyright: [wenn]
Will allegedly reached over to Cheryl to help his friend which is why he is reported to have been spotted with blood covering his hands.
The Black Eyed Peas star was rushed to hospital and later seen emerging with a neck brace.
We've seen the pictures and have to admit they don't look nice.
However, the pair are believed to be recovering well and neither have sustained serious injuries.
Will has already tweeted that the pair are fine, saying: "Car accidents are not dope ... I'm glad I'm o.k #wiplash."
Cheryl also reassured fans, saying: "Don't worry me and @iamwill are fine, promise x."
We just hope the pair are doing OK and aren't too feeling too shaken.
Will.i.am's manager Polo Molina added on Twitter: "Just spoke to @iamwill everything is OK. he and @cherylcole are both fine.
"It was a minor fender bender after a long day/night in the studio. They are both OK. a little bit shaken BUT thankfull that noone got hurt."

Adam Cahill | January 31, 2011 | Comments
If you want to get the full picture of who your best customers are, there's no better or faster way than through the use of exchange-traded media.
I think the rise of platform-based buying spooks a lot of media people because at first glance it seems to devalue their skills and contributions.
The truth is more nuanced, and also more hopeful: it devalues a certain set of skills that were heavily used in the past, but also provides a very clear path to becoming more indispensable than ever before.
Let's start with the core challenge. I've made the point before that platform-based media fundamentally changes the buyer's job.
The focus of the job used to be about planning. In other words, about making the best possible choices in advance, before a campaign goes to market. With platform-based media the job is really about responding to what happens after a campaign launches.
And I think that bums some people out. Because they see their value as being the best picker of potential options, a skill that isn't terribly relevant in this new context. If you play the fear out to its conclusion, it feels like the algorithms are taking over and we should all just pack it in. The only thing we need to do is make sure the computers are turned on.
I actually think that this new body of work has the potential to be phenomenally interesting and important, and that media people can not only distinguish themselves as star players, but actually prove themselves to be much more valuable than in the past.
When I talk about the focus of the job moving to the post-launch phase, that doesn't mean just babysitting data and making rote optimizations. There's a huge opportunity to identify non-obvious data-driven insights that impact not just the immediate display campaign, but have the potential to be applied broadly to other channels, disciplines, and initiatives. To become the person known for identifying leading indicators that the rest of your team can rally around.
The fact is that most companies really don't know who their best customers are. And even those companies that have a good sense of who some of their customers are almost never have the full picture.
I've never seen a better, faster way to solve this critical issue than through the use of exchange-traded media. Let me share a few examples:
I recently worked on a campaign targeting environmentally-friendly consumers. The existing target profile was what you'd expect: lefties living in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest. And it's true that this is where the greatest concentration of their target lived, and if you had to place bets in advance it would make intuitive sense to focus there.
The campaign we ran (on the DataXu platform) of course found that the top-responding DMA was Baton Rouge, LA, far from the coasts and where two-thirds of the voters had just voted Republican. In other words, the best response came from people who were exactly the opposite of those described in the profile.
As we tried to make sense of the finding, it quickly dawned on us that after the oil spill, it made sense that people in Louisiana probably would be receptive to environmental messaging. It's a finding that has big implications, and would have gone unnoticed without the exchange campaign.
I asked around among the leaders in the industry and got lots of great anecdotes that make the same point.
Bill Demas, CEO at Turn, told me about a case where the company's pre-identified target was IT decision makers in seven specific U.S. markets. Turn was able to identify several related targets that significantly lifted delivery and lowered costs, including "seniors that are the male head of household," "senior republicans," and "audiences that have shown an interest in insurance ads."
Mike Brunick, VP strategic partnerships at Cadreon, told me about an airline campaign where the stated target was wealthy executives who travel for business - a very small identifiable audience. The Cadreon team learned that the actual audience was executive assistants booking the travel, so they shifted the budget and widened the audience.
Zach Coelius, CEO of Triggit, talked about a case where his client had identified their perfect customer as a young married mom with two kids, and while that was a receptive target, Triggit was able to identify dozens of other customer types that responded equally well. As Zach put it, "Market research is significantly lagging behind the innovations in our media buying capabilities."
As we were kicking off a platform-based campaign recently, I told our client that we couldn't guarantee great performance, but could absolutely guarantee that we'd be able to tell her meaningful details about her customers that she never knew before.
The insights are all there waiting to be shared and acted upon. It's not the same way media people delivered value in the past, but it might just be a better way.

Zarine Khan has lost some serious weight. The actress who made her debut in Veer (2010) and was then seen in an item song in Ready (Character Dheela Hai) disappeared after being part of the multi-starrer Housefull 2 last year. She has now surfaced in a simmer avatar. She will next be seen in a film called Amar Must Die with Rajeev Khandelwal.
Produced by Remo, this film is said to be the Hindi remake of the Jason Statham-starrer Crank.
Zarine has always drawn flak for her weight. But when asked if she has lost on films because of that, she sidesteps the query with, "I love my body the way it is. I think the industry has entered into a phase where if you are just a skinny girl with a pretty face, you won't make the cut. The audiences want a real girl with an edge and personality. And I guess the industry has realised that as well."
Zarine, who has always been on the heftier side, swears that she lost all her weight in a natural way. "I hate the concept of dieting. I think it's very unrealistic. I don't deny myself anything. I stick to a high protein diet which has a lot of veggies and juices. I am obsessed with drinking a lot of water. I needed to make fitness a part of my lifestyle. I can never workout for an hour at a stretch so my trainers create 20-minute workouts for me."
The actress further reveals she started off with strength training and cardio to get her metabolic rate up and then moved on to pilates. "Pilates is very challenging and that is what I like about it. It's fun and hardly feels like exercise. I've recently started yoga with Twinkle Singh and she has completely changed my body. It has toned me up and stretched my muscles. There is a definite transformation. Since there is no equipment used, it is something I can do even in my hotel room when I am travelling so I can stay committed."

As media scrutinize accidental shootings involving children, the National Rifle Association's news program Cam & Company has instead repeatedly highlighted incidents where students clashed with administrators over school policies that relate to guns.
Accidental shootings involving children have been a much discussed topic over the past few weeks, with some incidents receiving widespread coverage. In particular, a fatal accident in Burkesville, Kentucky, where a 5-year-old boy unintentionally shot his 2-year-old sister with a rifle designed to be used by young children, was covered by The New York Times, CNN, the Associated Press, CBSNews.com, and MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes.
Between the Kentucky accident that occurred on April 30 and May 14, Cam & Company spent only 5 minutes and 33 seconds covering gun accidents, mostly by attacking the media for reporting on the incidents. In comparison, the show spent 71 minutes and 13 seconds highlighting instances where host Cam Edwards felt that students had been unfairly treated by schools for their participation in gun culture. During the sole segment that covered a gun accident, Edwards criticized The New York Times for its reporting on the Burkesville accident.
School incidents that received ample coverage on Cam & Company, which airs on The Sportsman Channel, include:
Mainstream media outlets are blindly repeating the claim by Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) that she supported expanded background checks by voting for Republican legislation that would actually have weakened the background check system.
On April 17, Ayotte voted against the Manchin-Toomey amendment, a legislative proposal to expand background checks to sales at gun shows and over the Internet, facing political backlash as a result. Ayotte, however, co-sponsored and voted in favor of a replacement bill offered by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) that purported to improve the background check system by increasing the number of mental health records in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).
In fact, the Grassley-Cruz proposal would weaken the gun background check system by changing the way mental health records are reported, potentially invalidating mental health records that are currently in the system. Specifically, Section 103 would change current law by only creating a disqualifying background check record if an individual is designated as dangerously mentally ill by a court or other adjudicative body. Under present law, adjudications by all lawful authorities create a record that prohibits an individual from buying a firearm.
To the contrary, Manchin-Toomey would have increased the number of mental health records in NICS by offering states financial incentives and disincentives to include missing records in the system, in addition to expanding background checks
Members of conservative media are trumpeting a government report indicating that gun homicides have fallen as proof that the need for stronger gun laws is unwarranted, while ignoring multiple factors that could account for the decrease. At the same time, firearm violence continues to be a problem as firearm homicides have fallen less than serious violent crime in general and the rate of gun violence in the United States still far outpaces other high-income nations.
In a May report, the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) indicated that the number of gun homicides fell 39 percent from 18,253 in 1993 to 11,101 in 2011. The Pew Research Center adjusted the figures to represent per capita rates in its report on the BJS data, finding that the incidence of firearm homicide has fallen 49 percent during that time period.
Right-wing media have quickly seized upon this data to dismiss the need for stronger gun laws. According to the National Review Online's Charles C. W. Cooke, the BJS and Pew reports make "embarrassing reading for those who spend their time trying to make it appear as if America is in the middle of a gun-crime wave." John Nolte of Brietbart.com wrote, "This report not only proves the media wrong, it proves the NRA right." Conservative Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin wrote that the reports represent "rotten data for anti-gun advocates trying to revive the Newtown, Conn., anti-gun legislative package." Townhall's Katie Pavlich, who is also a contributor at Fox News, added, "Once again more guns do in fact equal less crime."
But there is no logic to their arguments that data from the reports constitutes evidence against proposals to strengthen gun laws. Gun availability has been repeatedly linked to higher incidence of firearm homicides, and firearms remain the driving factor of homicides, with 70 percent of murders involving guns. According to an October 2012 report from BJS, the rate of serious violent crime declined 75 percent between 1993 and 2011, meaning that gun homicides are declining at a slower pace than overall crime.
Other factors may help explain the fall of gun crime since the early 1990s including reductions in lead levels, the end of the crack epidemic, advances in medicine that allow more gunshot victims to survive their wounds, and a declining rate of gun ownership.
HOUSTON -- To swing the door on a National Rifle Association annual meeting is to enter a world where Freedom comes from a gun. The gun's purpose is not important. It doesn't have to be American made. It can be any number of shapes, so long as it has a grip, a trigger, and a barrel. But only from a gun barrel can Freedom flow. In the words of multiple NRA members who confronted protestors this past weekend, "The Second Amendment is the one thing protecting the First."
Last May in St. Louis, NRA leaders pounded away at this idea in a torrent of Apocalyptic warnings about the consequences of failure in the November elections. A year later, gathering two weeks after helping defeat the biggest effort to strengthen gun laws in a generation, the same men delivered the NRA's Second Amendment gospel with a newfound swagger. Unchanged was the primacy of guns and gun rights in the NRA's understanding of the world and everything in it. In his opening speech, Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre described the gun enthusiasts before him as "Freedom's biggest army, greatest hope, and brightest future." The group's chief lobbyist-strategist, the boyish Tennessean Chris Cox, celebrated the convention as "the biggest celebration ever of American values," whose 86,000-plus attendees embodied "the essence of participation in American democracy."
NRA summits involve leadership votes and platform debates, but NRA-style democracy isn't about those things alone. It's also about the guns that make it possible. Which is why NRA conventions feature an exhibition hall packed with hundreds of booths displaying Freedom's latest fashions -- what the group calls "the most spectacular displays of firearms, shooting and hunting accessories in the world."
The big story on the floor this year was the post-election sales bounce following Sandy Hook and a revitalized gun violence debate. Companies that had reduced production to normal post-election levels in November were blindsided by second buying frenzy and have yet to recover their balance. Among the biggest beneficiaries is the assault rifle industry the NRA did much to nurture in the 1980s. "Sales are through the roof," said a rep from Stag Arms. "We have an eight to 12-month wait." A manager from Core Rifle Systems described the recent frenzy as "almost a little ridiculous. But it's good for business. We have a two-year back order producing 3,500 rifles a month." DSA Inc., which makes a range of ARs and grenade launchers, says it's getting 2,000 emails a day. "Business is good, it's real, real good for all of us," said a rep from the online assault weapon retailer CheaperThanDirt.com. Behind him hung an oversized check for $500,000 made out to the NRA.
Veteran guns and ammo dealers see the current frenzy as resulting from several developments that together have created a perfect storm of paranoia among the gun community. Obama's reelection, legislative movement on Capitol Hill, the UN Arms Trade Treaty, reports of large purchases of ammunition by federal agencies -- all have been hyped in the gun press and in rightwing media as heralding everything from ammo droughts to full-on police state tyranny.
"Together with all the gun stuff in the news, you still have the bad economy, which means survival purchases of the three B's -- beans, bullets, and booze," said Jeff Mullins, a bullet designer and owner of Allegiance Ammunition. "Then people see these reports about the government buying high volume [ammo]. That makes people think, 'Well, they're buying it to keep it from us.' I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but..."
When Mullins trailed off, an attendee listening nearby finished the thought. "Everybody is thinking that way," he said. "Nobody trusts the government."
This distrust is spreading to their fellow citizens. NRA members have been as jolted by public mass shootings as anyone else. Some of them just come to different conclusions about solutions. Among the workshops offered in Houston were several related to defensive handgun skills, i.e., how to be a good guy with a gun who stops bad guys with guns. The defensive shooting expert Rob Pincus introduced a full auditorium to the methods outlined in his book, Counter Ambush. In his talk, Pincus avoided phrases like "mass shootings" and "rampages," instead referring to emergencies in "the public environment situation."
Growing demand for bullets capable of dropping a Jared Loughner with one shot has increased interest in frag rounds like those designed by Jeff Mullins. "People are coming out of a fantasy world and realizing they have to take responsibility for their safety, even when they're at the mall or wherever," he said. "People now realize that bad people sometimes need to be taken out quick."
To illustrate why his trademarked bullets are the right tools for stopping an ambush, Mullins reached under the counter and pulled out photos of a dead 485-pound Russian boar. His daughter had recently killed it with a single round of his newest design. "It fragments so well that it creates instant trauma, shutting down the central nervous system," he explained. Like so many of his peers, he couldn't guess when his supply would catch up with demand.
During the 2013 National Rifle Association annual meeting, held May 3 - 5 in Houston, Texas, the gun rights organization reaffirmed its hardline stance against any restrictions on firearms and hosted an over-the-top Glenn Beck presentation that depicted one of the NRA's political opponents as a Nazi.
NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre set the tone of the convention with a May 4 speech that warned of a "long war against our constitutional rights" and concluded with a message for media and political "elites" in America: "Let them be damned."
The meeting also involved the adoption of a resolution put forward by fringe gun activist Jeff Knox that stated the NRA will oppose all future gun restrictions. Also featured at the annual convention was a speech from newly-elected NRA president Jim Porter, a hardline gun rights activist, that included the claim that President Obama seeks to take "revenge" against gun owners.
In a freewheeling presentation billed as the "NRA's most important gathering of the year," conservative radio personality Glenn Beck offensively portrayed New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a Nazi giving the Sieg Hail salute before concluding his hour-and-a-half long "Stand and Fight" speech by comparing the struggles of gun owners to those of the African-American civil rights movement.
Here are nine moments from the NRA's annual meeting that typify the fringe nature of the organization:
"We Shall Overcome:" Beck Adopts The Mantle Of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Referencing the Underground Railroad and lunch counter protests, Beck said that he hoped the NRA would join him in a passive resistance movement. At the apex of his speech, Beck stated, "We are the law-abiding God-fearing members of the NRA. We are Americans. And we will be clear. We will stand; we'll march if we have to. We'll stand because we must. But we will not be moved. Our right to keep and bear arms will not be infringed. We will follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ, we will follow the footsteps of Frederick Douglas, Winston Churchill, Thomas Paine, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, [David] Ben-Gurion, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Ghandi, Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King, hear me now. Hear me now. We shall overcome."
This weekend former Senator Evan Bayh echoed the beliefs of many in the media that the National Rifle Association has only recently moved to the fringe, telling Politico "their position is now in the end zone, not at the 40-yard line."
These extremes were on display at the NRA annual meeting this weekend where Glenn Beck, during a keynote address just days after the announcement that New York's Cablevision would soon begin to carry his Blaze network to millions of households, displayed on the screen a poster-like image of Michael Bloomberg giving the Sieg Heil salute. To equate the Jewish mayor of New York City to Nazis used to be beyond the pale in American politics.
One could say this outrageous hate speech was Beck acting like Beck, demonstrating his herculean effort to prove Godwin's Law, but Nazi comparisons have been part and parcel of the NRA's rhetoric for decades.
In 1995, former President George H.W. Bush resigned his lifetime membership in the organization after Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre signed a fundraising letter that claimed the Assault Weapons Ban passed earlier that year "gives jackbooted Government thugs more power to take away our constitutional rights, break in our doors, seize our guns, destroy our property and even injure and kill us."
Bush told the organization, "your broadside against Federal agents deeply offends my own sense of decency and honor; and it offends my concept of service to country."
The rhetoric might have been new to Bush, but the organization had freely referred to law enforcement officials as "jackbooted thugs" for years. It was only in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing that previously ignored communications, such as direct mail pieces, were scrutinized by the media, outing this disgraceful language.
From the May 4 National Rifle Association "Stand and Fight" rally:
Loading the player reg...
The membership of the National Rifle Association has unanimously adopted a resolution proposed by a WND columnist expressing opposition to any and all additional restrictions against guns during the session of its annual meeting. This position puts the activists in attendance out of step not only with the American people, but with the broader membership of the organization.
The resolution was offered by fringe gun activist Jeff Knox during the open session of the May 4 meeting. Knox is head of the Firearms Coalition, a hardline organization that promotes the "unencumbered right to arms" and opposes "any moves toward more restrictive and/or intrusive gun laws." He also writes a column about gun policy for WND, a discredited right-wing website known for its conspiracy theories. Knox's father Neal is credited with leading NRA hard-liners to crush the group's moderate wing in the 1970s and 1990s, helping to establish the organization as a no-compromises right-wing lobbying powerhouse.
The text of Knox's resolution cites its necessity as "a public repudiation of the lies and distortions from the media and politicians suggesting that the majority of NRA members support the expansion of gun control laws as clearly and unequivocally we do not." Polling indicates that the public -- including self-described NRA members -- overwhelmingly support at least one proposal to strengthen gun laws, the expansion of the background check system.
Speaking on behalf of the resolution, Knox claimed it was necessary to establish that "the members here gathered soundly and solidly oppose any and all new restrictions on our Second Amendment rights." John Fafoutakis of Sheraton, Wyoming, seconded Knox's resolution, saying that "we will not compromise. To all those gun-grabbers in Washington, to all their members of the lapdog presstitute news media, and to the gun-grabbers of the United Nations who want to disarm all law-abiding Americans, I have these kind words for you: fill your hand you son of a bitch."
After voting to strike a clause of the resolution requiring its text be published in the NRA's magazine, the membership in attendance passed it unanimously.
Right-wing media are trying to downplay a confrontation over gun sale background checks between a woman who lost her mother in the Newtown, CT, shooting and Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) by promoting a report from an Ayotte donor whose wife is the former chair of the New Hampshire GOP.
Erica Lafferty, the daughter of Sandy Hook Elementary School principal Dawn Hochsprung, asked Ayotte during an April 30 town hall meeting in Warren, New Hampshire, "why the burden of my mother being gunned down in the halls of her elementary school isn't more important" than Ayotte's claim that conducting background checks would be burdensome for gun store owners. According to NBC News, the meeting "drew more than 100 people who came to condemn or support Ayotte's vote."
Reacting to news reports of the confrontation between Lafferty and Ayotte, Shawn Millerick, editor of the conservative New Hampshire Journal, complained of "liberal media bias" and wrote that reports of Ayotte being confronted over her failure to support expanded background checks were exaggerated by the national media. Millerick also posted photographs of cars with out-of-state license plates that he says belonged to the individuals who opposed Ayotte's background check vote.
Breitbart.com, The Daily Caller, The Blaze, RedState and NewsBusters are all promoting Millerick's report as evidence that the media was dishonest in its coverage of Ayotte's town hall meeting while also characterizing Millerick's online newspaper as a "local" media source and not mentioning its partisan slant. According to Breitbart.com's John Nolte, Millerick's report "expose[d] the leftist national media for the liars they are." The Daily Caller's Alex Pappas framed the issue as a discrepancy between "local" and "national" media:
From the May 2 edition of NRA News' Cam & Company:
Loading the player reg...
In the midst of the most promising time for the gun violence prevention debate in decades, the National Rifle Association will name a new president at their annual meeting May 3-5.
Alabama lawyer Jim Porter will replace current NRA President David Keene, whose two-year term is expiring.
Here's what the media should know about Porter, a conspiracy theorist who calls the Civil War the "War of Northern Aggression" and represents more of the same for the organization:
1. Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss. Don't expect Porter to be a breath of fresh air bringing with him a new way of doing things. As is traditional, Porter will come to the presidency following two years as first vice president and two years as second vice president of the organization. He has also been the head of the NRA's legal affairs committee and a trustee of the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund. Porter's father was the NRA's president from 1959 to 1961 and chaired the 1977 annual meeting at which hardliners took over the organization and began transforming it into the no-compromise lobbying powerhouse the group remains today.
2. Porter Believes "Un-American" Eric Holder And Hillary Clinton Tried To "Kill The Second Amendment At The United Nations." Porter said during a June 2012 speech at the New York Rifle & Pistol Association's Annual Meeting that Attorney General Eric Holder, who he termed "rabidly un-American," was "trying to kill the Second Amendment at the United Nations" with the help of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He attributed this to the proposed United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, which he claimed would "make it illegal for individuals all over the world to own firearms." This is a blatant misrepresentation of the treaty, which deals with the international arms trade, not private ownership.
The Daily Caller discounted the experiences of some victims of gun violence who have promoted stronger gun laws by claiming they suffer from "hoplophobia," a fake psychological disorder defined by the gun rights movement as "the morbid fear of guns."
This baseless attack found in the featured article of Daily Caller's "Guns and Gear" section is the latest salvo from a conservative media that have launched vicious attacks on survivors of gun violence who support reforms to current gun laws.
The Daily Caller article purported to examine "hoplophobia" as an actual psychological condition, asking, "Is America required to accept psychological acting out as a legitimate form of legislative discourse?" However this "disorder" is not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association and instead is a term coined by the late National Rifle Association board member and famed shooting instructor Jeff Cooper.
In the May 1 article, the authors singled out Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) and prominent gun violence prevention campaigner Sarah Brady as allegedly suffering from psychological problems due to their direct experience with gun violence. The article further claimed that the promotion of gun violence prevention is "perilous" to the public:
At least three of the most virulent anti-gun-rights crusaders in the nation suffered extreme gun trauma before entering the fray: Sen. Dianne Feinstein (discovered Harvey Milk's body), Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (husband shot dead on commuter train) and Sarah Brady (husband disabled in assassination attempt on President Reagan). Are there others? Have they received counseling for the gun trauma they experienced? And to what extent, if any, does hoplophobic displacement influence and skew what otherwise seems like politics as usual? The biggest question here would be: Is America required to accept psychological acting out as a legitimate form of legislative discourse?
The debate over the precise nature of the condition is likely to continue for a long period of time. This is normal in the psychiatric and mental-health field. The more pressing concern, it seems to us, is the scope of the condition, the numbers of people who may be afflicted, and the extent to which they sublimate their fear by pressing politicians to act in denying the rights of their fellow citizens. That, it seems to us, is intolerable -- the idea that a festering and untreated psychological condition may have more influence over the acts of Congress than does intelligent consideration of life-or-death issues.
In seeking to quell their own turmoil, those so afflicted project their own fears and rage onto others. This is a fairly normal method for handling overwhelming fear and anger, but in doing so, politically active hoplophobes infringe on the rights of healthy law-abiding citizens and the stability of our society. This makes hoplophobia not only unique among all phobias, it makes it perilous. [emphasis in original]
The National Rifle Association's annual meeting on May 3-5 will feature a number of conservative media figures -- including Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Ted Nugent -- who often use violent rhetoric and promote gun-related conspiracy theories.
A series of new polls indicate that the media was wrong to suggest that legislators who oppose strengthening guns laws would not pay a political price for their actions.
Following the Senate's failure to pass stronger gun laws earlier this month, political reporters suggested that Senate opponents of those laws had been wisely reacting to the political environment. According to those reporters, Democrats "got gun control polling wrong" because while surveys indicated that an overwhelming majority of Americans supported reforms like expanding the background check system to cover more gun sales, they may not feel as passionately about the issue as their opponents and thus for politicians: "Voting against gun control measures may well carry less negative political consequence than voting for them -- even though the poll numbers suggest the opposite is true."
Contrary to this theory, several polls conducted since the gun votes earlier this month indicate that more voters are likely to oppose senators who voted against stronger gun laws than they are to support them:

Join author Nigel French in Designing a Book Cover as he walks through several approaches to creating professional, engaging book covers using Adobe Creative Suite applications. This course covers document setup, composition and layout, illustration, typography essentials, and printing. Exercise files accompany the course.
In coming out with the concepts for these book covers, I've used four approaches. So, I've tried to distill my different approaches to each design into one of four approaches and these four approaches admittedly have quite a lot of overlap. They are the Big Book Look, Typographic Solutions, Abstract Solutions and Illustration Solutions, and I'll be explaining what I mean by each of those. We are going to begin with the Big Book Look.
Now, this is a term that I am borrowing from Steven Heller and Louise Fili, and they mentioned it in their excellent book, Stylepedia, which I highly recommend. Essentially, the Big Book Look is all about having a very big title and a very big author name and that is basically your design. Sometimes the title and author will be combined with a symbolic piece of imagery, such as this one here from Catch-22. In my attempt at the Big Book Look for each of our three books that we are working with.
I won't say novels, because Homage to Catalonia, Orwell's account of his volunteering to fight for the Republican cause in Spain during the Spanish Civil War is nonfiction. But my first attempt is derived from or inspired by the work of the Catalan artist Joan Miro. He was responsible for this poster in support of the Spanish Republic and also this poster here many years later for the 1982 World Cup, which was hosted in Spain.
Here is the first of my book covers using the Big Book Look, big title, big author name, using hand-drawn type, drawn with the Blob Brush in Illustrator. The Blob Brush could have been designed for drawing Miro-like handwriting, so that's what we're going to do. We are going to go through the steps of creating this handwriting. First of all, just getting the letter shapes something approximating this and then filling in the counters in the letter shapes with these bright primary colors: the red, the blue and the yellow.
So, I am going to start out in Illustrator using the template that I created in the previous movie, book cover.ait. Here, I have two layers. I am going to turn off the guide layer for now and make sure that I am only artwork layer and the tool I am going to be using for this is the Blob Brush. I am going to zoom in, Command+ Spacebar or Ctrl+Spacebar, click-and-drag. Now, what so useful about the Blob Brush is that as you draw and you can just draw as if you are working with a pencil or a crayon.
What it will do is it will make one vector shape. Well, rather than creating a whole series of overlapping vector paths, it's going to make one vector shape. You can then come back. You can change the size of your Blob Brush by pressing the right bracket to go bigger or the left bracket to go smaller. Then you can paint over that some more and you will add to that shape. So, you can build up shapes by just painting over them and there we have one vector path.
Let's see what I can do in the way of creating some hand-drawn type here. Thankfully, for me what's working in my favor is that this style of type is extremely child-like and very forgiving. So, all of my mistakes, I could pretend though I wanted them that way, anyway. You don't need to see me carry on with my hand-drawn type.
You can finish that in your own time or if you wish you can use my already prepared version, which is in the Exercise Files folder. So, here is the result of my Joan Miro inspired hand-drawn type using the Blob Brush.

"Oven seems to cook 20 degrees less than any other oven. Grill is either on or off with shelf height adjustment to control cooking temp!!!
Grill pan handle is metal and gets too hot too quickly even when removed during use.
There is no clock or timer which is inconvenient.
It was the only 55cm cooker we could find that wasn't self-cleaning and we aren't really happy with it. A lot of money for a deceptively basic cooker."

Feel the need for some real heavy metal in your kitchen? Look no further than the Belling E552 electric cooker. In true rock 'n' roll style it's decked out from head to toe in stainless steel; glamorous and ready to blow you away with its ability to provide your kitchen with some show-stopping food.
Starting at the bottom of the bill we have the 69 litre fan oven, decked out inside with easy clean enamel linings. Once you've finished roasting and baking, it's nice to know you won't have to spend double the time with the oven cleaner and Marigolds.
However, with so much great food on the go, you may have to deal with the odd smudge from noses being pressed up against the glass. Though worry not, it'll clean really easy and those involved won't end up looking like Rudolph thanks to the air-cooled fascia.
Next up is the top cavity which is home to 31 litres of conventional oven space and a fixed rate grill element for perfecting that golden brown colour on any dish you fancy trying your hand at. You can even use it for keeping food warm or re-heating any platefuls for the late-comers. If you're nice enough that is…
Last, but certainly not least, the one you've all been waiting for is the ceramic hob with 4 separate heat zones. Not only are ceramic hobs far more energy efficient than the traditional gas hobs, but they're also far easier to clean as there is only one surface to deal with. No fiddly pieces. Now you've got no excuses for not rocking your kitchen in style.

Findvera.com loses network
I got my vera working with a lamp module and thermostat and was able to log into findvera.com and turn the a/c on and off and the lamp. It worked great! The next time I logged in via my home network it said it couldn't find vera on the home network and I'm dead in the water. Waiting for tech support. Which by the way doesn't have a phone number. Very frustrated.
VERA is a terrible product
This is a terrible product. It was not working properly, so I contacted their technical support. Their support service had to make changes to the firmware that fixed some of the problems. The system was still incredibly unreliable and the technical support said that there is nothing they can do about it. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM, IT IS A WAST OF MONEY
How does findvera.com
How does findvera.com connects to the vera device ? The vera device is connected to the home network and it gets an internal ip address from the router.
Thanks for the review. I've played with HomeSeer, but it didn't scratch the itch. This thing looks pretty cool.
In the article, there is a bash script example. Does anyone know if this thing has perl or python on it (or could)? If so, I assume one could write scripts in those languages that could be triggered with events? I checked the MCV forum, but I didn't see a lot on scripting languages... Any advice would be appreciated!
