By concentrating all its forces on innovation, the technology world is necessarily Darwinian and selects only those who survive: MP3 versus CD, tablets versus netbooks. Without going back to these « antiques », and while the « Smart Home » is ready to reach the public, judging by the number of products in this category at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2015, a new battle is in progress: Google vs. Apple, whereas in the middle stand many Communications Service Providers and Energy Retailers in Europe who are starting to act to ensure their positions.
Infinite possibilities for the connected home
Although dozens of manufacturers propose interesting end-users products, most connected devices do not talk to each other simply, creating vertical user-experience and lack of user-friendly interaction between services. They facilitate end-users adoption and education, with their emotional design and extremely well designed apps, but they create services silos.
Still, the Internet of Things in the home, or rather the Internet of Everything (ie the interaction between the things, the data, the processes, the event, the people), should offer a virtually unlimited potential for interaction and automation, improving the living conditions of individuals in the home and the user experience.
Harnessing the possibilities of interconnect with the entire home and other smart devices that are already there, is a unique value that delivers the real promise of the « smart home ». Answering the question of communication between devices is therefore critical to enable meaningful use cases and to create the network effect for mass adoption.
The solution does not rely entirely on the creation of new industrial alliances, clubs and future standards and protocols, even if Allseen, OIC, Thread, Homekit are critical enablers of simpler interoperability.
Certainly we need to open an IoE ecosystem where devices, services and frameworks can talk to each other, locally and/or the Cloud, simply, regardless of their technologies, brands or ecosystem memberships. The Internet of Everything cannot be limited to wall-gardened ecosystems, even if industrial stakes are obviously high.
To offer enriched user experience, we trust that platforms such as IJENKO's IoE2 will build bridges between all these major IP and non-IP universes.
A necessary « local » intelligence in the home
Today, an energy supplier or a service provider wishing to create additional value for its end customers to adapt to these new practices is offered a myriad of platforms for the Internet of Things, most of which cannot guarantee service availability even when the Internet is down. Only a local intelligence providing an autonomous rules engine can solve this problem and ensure an optimal quality of service. Applied to the energy management of the home, this local intelligence is even more valuable as real-time, automatic decisions have to be made all the time:
- Should I use my renewable micro-generation, resell it or consume energy from the grid, depending on the ToU and the feed-in tariffs? How can I manage automatically the storage capacity of my Powerwall battery depending on power pricing and my needs forecast?
- Do I need to opt out to the scheduled Demand response operation today or allow it?
The Internet of Things platform must offer this high level of real-time or programmed automation and allow the user to make such decisions, or delegate them to a trusted service, whether it is in favor of comfort, bill optimization or to avoid the trap of fuel poverty.
The IoT, an opportunity for energy providers
In the energy field, the power of the Internet of Things lies in Demand Side Management, based on volume, net pricing or CO2 emissions optimization, especially in peak and ultra-peak periods.
In Europe, as in the rest of the world, energy retailers are facing the following challenges:
- Regulation and the obligation to decrease consumption,
- The commoditization of energy, low margins, and churn,
- Potential new entrants with very significant financial resources and disruptive technologies that might end up disintermediating them from their customers,
- The emergence of the concept of smart cities and territorial, decentralized energy management,
- The rapid decline in the price of batteries for homes,
- Renewables parity and the development of valuable micro-generation models, with the related stress and constraints on the grid due to intermittency,
- Public pressure on climate change, and the increased understanding of the impact of individual and collective energy consumption.
They can be seen as challenges and/or opportunities for the energy retailers, if they surf the IoE wave properly. If they transform themselves in digital services groups, entering the fast and big data worlds, extending personal energy plans and related coaching services, managing demand, production and storage actively, at the individual and the aggregated level, they can benefit from the combination of the value of downstream and upstream services and uplift their business model. The direct sale of IoT devices by their manufacturers is also an opportunity to create service value for their end-users. Energy retailers can create augmented services, mash-up data between their own assets and these third party devices, trigger actions without boundaries via the various interaction channels an IoE platform can facilitate. Thus they can increase retention, customer satisfaction and may be ARPU.
Energy retailers would then become service providers of comfort, light, heat, convenience, happiness with a personalized energy and innovative IoE play, using the same sales, marketing and eco-system strategy & tools as global digital groups, with the same network effects. They could recreate a magical energy experience, and develop sustainable business and community value.

Can you please get the f_ck off this thread and stop cluttering it up with your mindless drivel BS, no one gives two cents about your ludicrous claims, if you want to hear yourself talk start you own thread, I try to have love for my fellow man but I just can't find it for you, the OP has an important message for the world, while your posts demonstrate you are just a spoiled child craving attention, and have leached on like a parasite to a popular thread since you are usually ignored.
I guess that is a tad harsh. Start a thread with a worthy topic and they will come. Or there is nothing wrong with being a lurker. Stop having to be defined by the way others see you, that is just your ego.
Read Eckart Tolle's "A New Earth........." that is a good place to start. If you get that book there is hope, if not, you possibly need stronger professional help. Good luck.
If you only knew what the Elites know about me.
You would be hanging on every single one of my words.
No worries.
I forgive you. :)

Great, I'd love to hear it. Start your own thread, and let the OP keep his thread on track. Post it here so we know.

There is a line that former Mississippi State men's basketball coach Rick Stansbury used often that even though we may have gotten to hear it over and over again, there's truth to the statement.
Nate Hughes calls the 4 1/2 years he spent in the National Football League an "awesome" experience.
Now it's time for a change for the former Starkville High School player.
If things work out like Hughes wants, he might actually work on injured football players one day as a doctor.
Hughes plans to apply for medical school this week and actually takes his MCAT on Thursday.
There's a good argument that could be made that the Southeastern Conference has one of the better quarterback pools this season.
The league has always been known to have good running backs, and subpar signal callers. This season some of the best players under center play in the SEC.
To subscribe to the E-edition, please click here.
Across the spectrum, a theme of competitiveness emerges when one speaks about East Webster athletics last season.
From a trio of individuals to the fast-pitch softball and bowling teams, the Wolverines had their share of state championships.
The stretch run for the Starkville Parks and Recreation softball season is taking place.
It won't be long before thoughts turn from softball to football.
Regular season and tournament softball is expected to continue through mid August, then the flag football season starts Sept. 16.
There are still a few weeks before school starts, but the Starkville Academy softball team is steadily preparing for the upcoming season.
It has been a busy last few days for Mississippi State football coach Dan Mullen.
Among his activities was Southeastern Conference Media Days last Wednesday, then on Thursday night, he took part in the MSU Fan Extravaganza in Jackson.
He returned to Starkville in time to host the Bulldog Ladies Football Clinic on Saturday.
When people talk college football they think about the Southeastern Conference and more notably the state of Alabama.
Since 2006, the SEC has won seven-straight Bowl Championship Series National Championship games. The state of Alabama has the last four.Â
The Crimson Tide of Alabama won in 2009, followed by Auburn's title in 2010. The Crimson Tide have won the last two.
COLUMBUS – Playing for a cause was the theme of a golf tournament Saturday at Elm Lake.
Around five years ago, Lyndsi Hill tragically lost her life in a car wreck. It did not take long for her former fellow employees at Mugshots to begin celebrating Hill's life.
The Mississippi State baseball program lost a tremendous friend and supporter last week with the death of Don Permenter.
Permenter has a special love and a passion for the Bulldogs, and that was usually sent right back in his direction. He was a good man.

There's exactly 8 years that we changed the law in Portugal so that consumption of drugs wouldn't bet a crime. Nevertheless Portugal was able to reduce the consumption and the number of people living in the streets without any treatment was reduced drastically. I would not agree with the legalization of drugs, but I see that in my home country has found a good solution, by approaching the drug addict as a person that needs treatment and not a criminal.

A Swirl of Foreboding In Mahogany's Grain
Published: September 28, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
Even these small bands of loggers need trails, food and supplies. A multinational team of biologists recently estimated that in just one month loggers along Las Piedras River had killed enough animals for 90,000 pounds of meat. The team also found 231 logging camps, 176 of them in areas set aside for Indians.
Some of these native groups, hunter-gatherers from the Mashco Piro and Yora tribes, are so isolated they are known as ''the noncontacted.'' They are particularly susceptible to influenza and other diseases.
''For Indian people, this is a serious threat against their lives, a threat that raises the possible dangers of extinction,'' said Victor Pesha, president of the leading Indian federation in Madre de Dios.
Increasingly, too, loggers enter national parks like Manu, Peru's ecological jewel, the government says. This year, in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve in the northeast, $500,000 worth of illegally logged mahogany was confiscated.
Still, the future of an antilogging police unit that has been celebrated for recent interdictions is uncertain. In an unusual arrangement, the World Wildlife Fund pays the team's operating costs, about $700 a month, as well as hardship bonuses.
But the financing is not guaranteed past the end of the year, and the government cannot afford the costs alone. It also lacks money to send inspectors on the waterways used to transport the timber.
That transport requires government permits, which are used by exporters to obtain a United Nations document certifying that the wood was legally logged, as mandated by an international convention.
But government officials and environmentalists say the permit system has been deeply corrupted. The documents can be obtained for a price, sometimes as low as $120, or they can be doctored. Permits often overstate the timber available in legal areas, allowing loggers to cut from adjacent tracts that are off limits.
In just the first seven months of the year, Peru's National Institute for Natural Resources found that 14 of its 29 administrators had probably been involved in corruption, said Marco Romero, chief of the agency's forestry service.
The corruption runs so deep, he said, that even confiscated wood is often sold back to the same logging companies. ''It has been legalized through the auction system,'' he said.
The Brazilian government tried to address similar problems by requesting the help of inspectors from the United States Department of Agriculture, who verify export documents at their end.
But Peru's government has not requested such a crackdown. Nor has it issued a moratorium on mahogany logging, as Brazil has. Without it, environmentalists warn, mahogany -- exact origin unknown -- will continue entering the United States.
There, it winds up in lumber yards like the 10-acre lot of a 26-year-old company in Evergreen, Ala., called South American Lumber Imports.
For the last three years, the company has been contracted exclusively to store, dry and sell wood logged by Bozovich Lumber, the largest exporter of mahogany in Peru. Last year alone, Bozovich, a Peruvian-owned company, shipped nearly $20 million in wood to the United States, according to Peruvian export data.
The operations manager at South American Lumber Imports, Leonard W. Price III, said Bozovich's managers were ''the most honest people I had ever met in South America.''
On its Web site, Bozovich hails its ''new selective logging techniques'' that allow ''for natural and spontaneous reforestation.''
But Peruvian officials, the police and environmental groups say the company has generated much of Peru's illegal logging, relying on middlemen who contract freelance loggers. Its president, Drago Bozovich, did not return half a dozen calls to his Lima office seeking comment.
But Alfredo Biasevich, the company's Lima-based partner in Forestal Riopiedras, dismissed the charges. Peruvian government officials and documents identified Mr. Biasevich as an associate of Mr. Bozovich.
''We want an eternal forest; that's our business,'' Mr. Biasevich said. ''We are conscious that each day, the mahogany is farther away, that each day it's under tighter control. We are investors, not opportunists.''
Environmental groups like World Wildlife and Greenpeace have leveled similar charges at many other logging companies and importers.
Brigid Shea, spokeswoman for the International Wood Products Association, representing American importers, said the onus was on Peru. ''It's really incumbent upon them to make sure before the product leaves Peru that they're comfortable with its legality,'' she said.
Once in the United States, no more certification is required, and demand for the wood does not encourage scrutiny.
Ken Fuhrmann, customer service representative for Henkel Harris, said that in 30 years on the job, perhaps eight people had asked about the origins of the wood.
''I would say they don't really care,'' he said. ''They just want a good product.''
At Classic Galleries, a fine furniture store in Huntington, N.Y., the unmistakable rippled grain of mahogany gleamed on ornately carved dining tables, bureaus and headboards throughout the showroom.
But no one knew where the mahogany came from, said Barbara Marcone, a saleswoman at the store for 19 years. ''Nobody asks,'' she said.
Photos: Stevedores unloading mahogany in Madre de Dios State in southeastern Peru. The country is now the world's largest producer of the wood.; Antonio Urquiza steered a raft made from illegally logged mahogany and Spanish cedar this summer on Los Amigos River in southeastern Peru. (Photographs by Ana Cecilia Gonzales-Vigil for The New York Times) Chart/Map: ''The Cost of Logging'' Mature mahogany trees once stood in almost all of the Peruvian rain forest east of the Andes. Illegal logging and corruption in Peru have spurred a decade-long boom in mahogany production. Environmentalists say loggers, having removed the trees from easily accessible areas, are now venturing deeper into the rain forest and endangering indigenous people and delicate ecosystems. The markup Large profit margins are common in the trade of mahogany. $2,500 LOGGER Loggers, who spend months in the jungle, sell trees for as little as $2,500 to a middleman. MARKUP FROM $2,500 $3,500 EXPORTER The log is milled into lumber and fetches about $3,500 on Peru's export market. +40% $60,000 WHOLESALER In the U.S., the log provides wood for up to 15 dining tables, each fetching up to $4,000. +2,300% $120,000 RETAILER Retailers mark up the wholesale price of the table, often doubling it to the retail customer. +4,700% Graph ''U.S. Imports'' tracks imports from Brazil and Peru to the U.S. from 1991-2002 (1,000's of cubic meters) Map highlighting the topography of South America shows the following areas: Logged out -- Mature trees removed by loggers Remote forest -- Where mature mahogany trees remain (Sources by Center for Applied Biodiversity Science at Conservation International; Greenpeace International; World Wildlife Fund Latin American and Caribbean Secretariat; Traffic; Amazon Conservation Association; Moore Foundation; Association of Exporters, Peru; American Furniture Manufacturer' Association; National Hardwood Magazine; Forest Stewardship Council; Marwood Inc.)

The shadows of our walking selves are huge and distorted, like giants moonwalking in a fun house.
Who knew Jenkins Arboretum could be so entertaining on a mild afternoon in autumn?
Its 46 acres are gently tucked into a residential neighborhood in Devon, not far from the Route 202 raceway, where everyone, it seems, considers speed limits optional.
You can hear the traffic deep inside the garden, but the sound is nicely muffled, like the muted landscape of this quiet season and place.
Steven A. Wright, director of horticulture and curator of plant collections, is hosting our walkabout, part of a weekly series that has just wrapped up for the year. He's guiding a visitor down the garden pathway, which curves this way and that. On either side are shade-loving azaleas, but their season is past, their blooms long gone.

Dear Saxophonist:
I sincerely hope that you will enjoy this reference site, and that it will encourage you to learn to love saxophone history and design as much as I do. I would encourage you to look at some of my original saxophone, mouthpiece, and neck designs at our retail site, www.nationofmusic.com. Our products have features found nowhere else, and are all our unique designs, and are sold only on our website. Please feel free to call me with any questions you have about any of the saxophones or other products that we manufacture.
Steve Goodson
We were EXTREMELY honored to have been selected to be featured in the new Anthony Bourdain series, Raw Craft
This series is about people and companies which produce high quality, unique products by hand. Over three days, we filmed a great overview of our business. You'll see a lot of things we have NEVER shown publicly before.
Anthony Bourdain and The Balvenie head to New Orleans, the Birthplace of Jazz, to meet legendary saxophone designer, Steve Goodson, who has been creating and restoring brass instruments for the last 40 years. In this episode Anthony is introduced to the incomparable "category five" saxophone.
All of the saxophones and necks designed by me have a direct linage to my 104,000 silver plated H. Selmer (Paris) tenor, which I have owned since new. My parents bought this horn for me as a reward for making first chair in the All State band (at age 14!) and as a result, this instrument became the tool that enabled me to put myself through college (and live quite well while attending college!) and support myself all of my life. This horn and I have been to every continent except Antarctica together, and have shared many, many adventures.

1990 Acura Legend Q&A
1990 Acura Legend Question: Check Engine Light, Car idle but dies when giving it gas?
I was driving from Sacramento to Truckee and my check engine light came on. Then my car started puttering. I stopped at a gas station, checked the oil and turn around. It was still puttering and I made it all the way to my drive way before it died. Now, I can start it and it is fine idling but as soon as I give it gas, it dies? Suggestions? - king_blackwell
2 Answers
Answer 1
That car has on board diagnosis level 1 (OBD1) which is pretty primitive but may show you the problem Just a guess distributor issue if you have higher mileage. To get Check Engine Light codes look at http://www.troublecodes.net/acura/ There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online - patrick mannion
Answer 2
If check engine light on, you can follow these tips to check your car: 1. Check your dashboard gauges and lights for indications of low oil pressure or overheating. 2. Try tightening your gas cap. 3. Reduce speed and load. If didn't work, you need to read the fault code, get to know where the trouble is and fix it. The Acura H685 may be helpful if want to fix troubles by yourself (http://www.chinasinoy.com/wholesale/honda-acura-professional-tool-h685-1166.html). PS: 1990 Acura is too old, it may be difficult to find a suitable diagnostic tool for it. - chinasinoy

A thicker pillow and or 2 chairs to sit comfortable in in the room. For people who travel by car, motorbike or to stall your bike savely it is an ideal place to stay.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (June 26, 2015) – "The fractured laws across the country concerning same-sex marriage had created an unsustainable and unbalanced legal environment, wherein citizens were treated differently depending on the state in which they resided. That situation was unfair, no matter which side of the debate you may support.
As the 2015 session of the Kentucky General Assembly re-convenes, what issues are on your mind? The Local Option Sales Tax? A statewide smoke-free policy? An increase in the state's minimum wage? We're taking the show on the road to the State Capitol to speak with House Speaker Greg Stumbo and Senate President Robert Stivers.
We're interested in your comments and questions before the show by email to wekueasternstandard at gmail dot com or on the phone at 859-622-1657.
The Supreme Court says it will decide whether same-sex couples nationwide have a right to marry under the Constitution.
The Kentucky Baptist Convention has voted to sever ties with a Louisville church after its decision to support homosexuality.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A federal appeals court has upheld Kentucky's bans on same-sex marriages, rolling back two rulings that opened the door for gay couples to have their unions in other states recognized and to be wed in the Bluegrass State.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panels' 2-1 ruling Thursday is the highest-level court victory for gay marriage opponents after a flood of 20-plus court wins for supporters of same-sex marriage in the past year.
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision not to hear appeals of gay marriage bans in five states will not directly affect Kentucky because the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has yet to rule on the state's case.
Kentuckians as well as folks in Tennessee, Ohio and Michigan are waiting on a ruling on same-sex marriage from the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. Knowing that a ruling could come soon…and in light of growing speculation of the issue going to the nation's highest court, we'll discuss Re-defining marriage on this week's EST.
Doug emailed us, looking for the online version of an NPR story, which we were able to locate for him. He went on to say, "I certainly enjoy and support your station due to all the diversity that you have throughout the day. I travel a lot in my job and I keep you tuned in. Coming to work and going home WEKU keeps me updated as to what is happened over night and throughout the day."
The Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear oral arguments on Kentucky's same-sex marriage ban Wednesday. It will also hear cases from Tennessee, Ohio and Michigan. A ruling by the court in Cincinnati in favor of gay marriage could impact marriage ceremonies at some Kentucky churches. Leaders at two Lexington churches have differing views about same sex marriage.
If a federal court ruling in favor of gay marriage in Kentucky is upheld following appeals, it could mean slight changes in the way marriage licenses are processed. Discussions are underway about how such a ruling might affect County Clerks across the state.
A federal judge has struck down Kentucky's ban on same-sex couples getting licenses and marrying in the state. However, Tuesday's ruling was temporarily put on hold because it will be appealed.
U.S. District Court Judge John Heyburn has struck down Kentucky's ban on recognizing same-sex marriages performed outside the state.
U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., issued a statement commending the judge's ruling: "I am proud of the four Kentucky families who are standing up for marriage equality in this lawsuit and of the thousands more who continue this fight every day. Today's ruling is an important step forward in the march toward recognition of all marriages under the law and full equality in our Commonwealth."
Meanwhile, the Family Foundation issued a statement taking the opposite point of view. According to the foundation's news release: "Kentucky marriage policy will now be dictated from places like Boston and San Francisco," said Martin Cothran, a spokesman for The Family Foundation said in the release.
A majority of Kentucky voters continues to oppose same-sex marriage, but public opinion appears to be shifting on the issue.
A new Herald-Leader/WKYT Bluegrass Poll found that 55 percent of registered voters oppose same-sex marriage, compared with 35 percent who support allowing gays and lesbians to marry in Kentucky. Ten percent weren't sure.
On this week's edition edition of Kentucky Tonight, host Bill Goodman and guests will discuss gay marriage. The program which is "live" on Kentucky Educational Television Monday evening at 8:00, will be re-broadcast Tuesday morning at 11:00 on WEKU.

Product Description
Thirty-Three and a Third is a series of short books about critically acclaimed and much-loved albums of the past 40 years. Over 50,000 copies have been sold! "Passionate, obsessive, and smart." -Nylon ".an inspired new series of short books about beloved works of vinyl." -Details Description Tracing the creation of Exile on Main St. from the original songwriting done while touring America through the final editing in Los Angeles, Bill Janovitz explains how an album recorded by a British band in a villa on the French Riviera is pure American rock & roll. Looking at each song individually, Janovitz unveils the innovative recording techniques, personal struggles, and rock & roll mythmaking that culminated in this pivotal album. Excerpt Exile is exactly what rock & roll should sound like: a bunch of musicians playing a bunch of great songs in a room together, playing off of each other, musical communion, sounds bleeding into each other, snare drum rattling away even while not being hit, amps humming, bottles falling, feet shuffling, ghostly voices mumbling on and off-mike, whoops of excitement, shouts of encouragement, performances without a net, masks off, urgency. It is the kind of record that goes beyond the songs themselves to create a monolithic sense of atmosphere. It conveys a sense of time and place and spirit, yet it is timeless. Its influence is still heard today. Keith Richards has said, tongue in cheek, the record "was the first grunge record."

Crowding Out Intrinsic Motivation? The Role Of Performance-Related Pay
Date Added: Sep 2009
Format: PDF
This paper attempts to expand upon the current debate involving the relationship between performance-related pay and public service motivation. Two models are used to examine how variable pay influences public service motivation and job satisfaction among a sample of city managers, assistant city managers, and department heads. Findings support the argument that variable pay systems can crowd out public service motivation. However, results also present a much more complicated picture. Variable pay systems appear to primarily crowd out the intrinsic motives of those with high levels of public service motivation.

Trattoria Dolce Vita
3 Stars for Eclectic Eats in West Kendall
Trattoria Dolce Vita
13630 SW 120th St, Miami
Hours: 11am-10pm Sunday-Thursday, until 11pm Friday-Saturday
Prices: tapas 3 for $16, appetizers and salads $7.95-$12.95, entrees $13.95-$18.85, dessert $4.50-$6.50
FYI: Wine and beer. In southwest corner of London Square shopping center, across from Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport.
With one strip mall after another filled with waxing salons and chain restaurants, West Kendall is a place where a pleasurable dining experience is a particular joy. Trattoria Dolce Vita in the sprawling London Square shopping mall is one such pleasure. Chef-owner Omar Morillo greets you at the door with a kiss on each cheek and a warm "buona sera." A corkscrew tucked in his back pocket, he'll seat you at one of the 10 white table-clothed tables, walk you through his carefully crafted menu - and offer to cook to order anything else you might like.
Originally from Venezuela, Morillo, 37, moved to Miami at the age of 12. The Coral Gables High grad bussed tables and worked in the kitchens of restaurants including Norman's, Caffe Abbracci and Ortanique on the Mile. After studying hospitality management at Florida State University, he said, he trained for three years in Italy, where one chef told him, "Your cooking is horrible, but I like your passion, so I'll teach you." He learned well.
The Italian menu nods at Latin America and Spain with items like an open-face Cuban panini (slow-roasted pork and caramelized onions on house-made ciabatta) and an affordable tapas selection of meats and cheeses. Pastas dominate, but not the heavy lasagne and giant meatballs typical of storefront Italian restaurants.
Ambience: The decor conjures Rooms to Go more than Tuscany, and the small wine list has a surprising number of French labels for an Italian restaurant. But from the warm, house-made rolls that start the meal to the complimentary house limoncello at the end, diners feel cosseted by Morillo's hospitality and love of food.
What Worked
- Fresh gnocchi in pink vodka sauce
- Pear ravioli - a delicate sweet-salty balance of ricotta and fruit stuffed in light pasta squares and blanketed with a truffle-infused Gorgonzola sauce
- An 8-ounce top sirloin served with a cabernet demi-glace, skin-on smashed potatoes and mixed greens
- A salad-plate-sized portobello mushroom stuffed with artichoke truffle mousse, Parmesan and pomodoro sauce
- Creamy, house-made burrata with fresh tomato slices, salty prosciutto and peppery arugula dressed with a vinaigrette of garlic, basil, oil and lemon and heaped onto grilled ciabatta wedges
- A perfectly pan-seared red snapper fillet with a lemony piccata sauce that melted in the mouth
- A rich, creamy and smoky champagne risotto topped with grilled squid
- Morillo's tiramisu served with a raspberry coulis and toasted almonds
What'd Didn't Work
- An overly sweet bolognese sauce (served on a night when Morillo was absent)
