We had a lovely dinner for 6 this week. The wait staff was so nice
and our food was really good. My teenage sons raved about the chicken and wanted me to get the recipe... Tried the sauce myself and loved it.. Subtle but flavorful. Maybe others had a bad night because we really enjoyed ourselves and recommend the restaurant and the staff.

Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form, such as electricity, using wind turbines. At the end of 2007, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 94.1 gigawatts. Although wind currently produces about 1% of world-wide electricity use, it accounts for approximately 19% of electricity production in Denmark, 9% in Spain and Portugal, and 6% in Germany and the Republic of Ireland (2007 data). Globally, wind power generation increased more than fivefold between 2000 and 2007.
Most wind power is generated in the form of electricity. Large scale wind farms are connected to electrical grids. Individual turbines can provide electricity to isolated locations. In windmills, wind energy is used directly as mechanical energy for pumping water or grinding grain.
Wind energy is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions when it displaces fossil-fuel-derived electricity. The intermittency of wind seldom creates problems when using wind power to supply a low proportion of total demand, but it presents extra costs when wind is to be used for a large fraction of demand. However these costs even for quite large percentage penetrations are considered to be modest.
The Danish wind turbine industry is the world's largest. Around 90% of the national output is exported, and Danish companies accounted for 38% of the world turbine market in 2003, when the industry employed some 20,000 people and had a turnover of around 3 billion Euro.
The development of wind power in Denmark has been characterized by a close collaboration between publicly financed research and industry in key areas such as research and development, certification, testing, and the preparation of standards. For example, in the 1980s, a large number of small Danish companies were developing wind turbines to sell to California, and the Danish Risø laboratory provided test facilities and certification procedures. These resulted in reliable products and the rapid expansion of the Danish turbine manufacturing industry.
The Gedser wind turbine was the first large and modern wind turbine in Denmark. From 1957 to 1967 it produced alternating current directly to the grid on the island of Falster, where it was erected near Gedser. In 1978 the Gedser wind turbine was repaired and started again for a test program that resulted in a production of several Danish wind turbines.
The Gedser wind turbine was a major technological breakthrough for the modern wind turbine. The design and concept of the wind turbine with an asynchronous generator, 3 stall-regulated blades and break-tips at the end of each blade is still widely used in modern Danish wind turbines. The Danish engineer, Johannes Juul, was the constructor of the Gedser wind turbine.

Re: Articles & interviews
Yeah, I always say I want to move on but then I see something that makes me annoyed and I end up posting about it again.
Misty, I have complete faith that Gilles will answer smartly. Someone may disagree with the points he made but I thought he handled the press conference perfectly. He was already asked about Maria's comments and he handled them perfectly like I knew he would. He's one of the most thoughtful and articulate players on tour, he won't be caught off guard.
Yes, he might be asked about Sloane at some point (which I still doubt happened, I mean has anyone ever seen Gilles slam the ball near a ball-kid?) but even if it did happen, he probably wouldn't remember it unless there was a controversy at the time. He might not even know he hit her. I don't know what he could really say other than I'm sorry I hit her with the ball, I don't remember that happening, or that definitely didn't happen. He's not the type to say she should get over it after ten years even though he might be tempted.
Either way, I still think the whole thing is ridiculous even if it did happen because it has absolutely no relevance to anything being discussed. Some of the nicest people in the world have made mistakes on court when they were 18. The real issue was that the press was taking the word of someone who was ten years old at the time to try to do character assassination, when I'm not sure her perception of what happened is that reliable or how it shows in any way that he's sexist. I'm not sure how she would even remember, I really don't remember anything from when I was ten

An elderly St. James man was seriously injured Wednesday morning when a Dodge Durango hit his ATV on Highway 4 in Watonwan County. It happened shortly after 9am at the intersection with 280th Street in rural St. James. 36-year-old Justin Thedens of Fairmont was driving the Durango northbound on Highway 4 when he collided with the eastbound ATV driven by 88-year-old Obert Blackstad. Thedens was not hurt in the crash, but Blackstad was airlifted to the Mayo Hospital in Rochester. His injuries are reportedly non life-threatening.

1806 Capped Head Right Half Eagle, MS641806 $5 Round Top 6, 7x6 Stars MS64 NGC. Breen-6448, BD-6, R.2. The Capped Head Right design was retired midway through 1807, but a substantial mintage of 64,093 pieces was accomplished in 1806. Six different die varieties are known for the 1806 half eagle, five varieties with a pointed 6 in the date and the present BD-6, with a round top or knobbed 6. In Early U.S. Gold Coin Varieties, John Dannreuther estimates 35,000 to 50,000 examples of the BD-6 variety were produced, as it is the most available variety today. The surviving population is believed to total 600-900 examples in all grades.
Round Top 6, 7x6 Stars, BD-6
Round Top 6, 7x6 Stars, BD-6
Early gold collectors have prized the BD-6 since it was first recognized as a distinct variety in the 1860s. One of the key features of the BD-6 is the placement of the obverse stars in a 7x6 pattern around the bust (previously the stars were arranged 8x5). Catalogers began to notice the new pattern by the time of the Sixth Semi-Annual Sale (Woodward, 3/1865), where lot 2760 in the half eagle section reads, "1806 Six stars facing; fine and exceedingly rare." The lot sold to J.O. Emery for $8. Interestingly, when Woodward sold the Emery, Taylor & Loomis Collections (Woodward, 3/1880), the coin was not listed in the catalog. Emery must have disposed of part of his collection privately.
The present coin is well struck, with softly frosted mint luster. The attractive surfaces are a bright yellow-gold color. No mentionable handling marks are evident, suggestive of an even higher grade. The difficulty of improving on this specimen is evident when one considers that NGC and PCGS combined have certified only three coins in higher grades (10/09).(Registry values: P2) (NGC ID# 25P5, PCGS# 8089)

Cardiff Blues v Scarlets: RaboDirect PRO12 match preview
Last Updated: 20/12/12 3:47pm
Wales lock Bradley Davies returns for the Cardiff Blues ahead of their PRO12 derby against the Scarlets at the Arms Park on Friday.
Having recovered from the concussion he suffered in the international match against New Zealand, Davies will be joined by hooker Marc Breeze in returning.
Alex Walker, the young Cardiff RFC scrum-half, has been named on the bench for the Blues and could make his regional debut.
They face a Scarlets side whose four game winning streak in the PRO12 came to a halt last time out with their 12-19 defeat to table-topping Ulster at Parc y Scarlets.
Meanwhile, the Scarlets have won their last six encounters with the Blues in all competitions, whilst they have not visited the Arms Park since May 2008.
There will be a return to action for back-row forward Josh Turnbull after he picked up a knee injury during his campaign with Wales in the autumn along with fellow Welsh international flanker Aaron Shingler.
Cardiff Blues: 15 Jason Tovey, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Gavin Evans, 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Harry Robinson, 10 Rhys Patchell, 9 Lewis Jones, 8 Andries Preotrius (c), 7 Sam Warburton, 6 Josh Navidi, 5 James Down, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Scott Andrews, 2 Marc Breeze, 1 Taufa'ao Filise.
Replacements: 16 Rhys Williams, 17 Sam Hobbs, 18 Benoit Bourrust, 19 Macauley Cook, 20 Robin Copeland, 21 Alex Walker, 22 Ceri Sweeney, 23 Owen Williams.
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams, 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies (capt), 12 Scott Williams, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Aled Thomas, 9 Tavis Knoyle, 8 Kieran Murphy, 7 Aaron Shingler, 6 Josh Turnbull, 5 Johan Snyman, 4 George Earle, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Emyr Phillips, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Matthew Rees, 17 Rhodri Jones, 18 Deacon Manu, 19 Sione Timani, 20 Johnathan Edwards, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Gareth Owen, 23 Gareth Maule.
What they said...
Cardiff Blues director of rugby Phil Davies
"We created opportunities on the field in Montpellier; there was a disallowed try, a couple of penalties and a conversation that went array. There were opportunities that we created that we didn't convert but the overall effort and commitment of the players was fantastic. It is certainly our aim to bounce back in the league over the Christmas period.
"We want to turn these performances and these steps in the right direction into wins. The players and coaches are working exceptionally hard and it's a case of turning the corner and turning some of these tight games we have been having recently into victories. Once we get on a bit of a roll I think this team will push forward.
"The Scarlets are a very talented team with lots of quality individuals but also a talented unit. Over the last five years Nigel Davies did a great job developing the team and pushing them forward. Simon Easterby has now taken over the mantel and they are a very good side and well organised.
"They will be a tough team to beat, but we are at home and with a big crowd behind us, we can create a good atmosphere by delivering a top performance."
Scarlets Head Coach Simon Easterby
"Both our games against the Blues and Ospreys will have the same intensity and ferocity of any Heineken game, derbies are made that way and there won't be much in it or between the sides.
"We have three big games ahead of us and we can't afford to lose any of the positive momentum we've gained in the league so far.
"We will have to be better than last weekend and while we competed well for forty minutes, we have to start much more strongly which we've really looked at this week.
"The game at Exeter showed we're a team that can really attack and we were more creative with the ball and kept it moving. We didn't allow Exeter to set a defensive line but there were too many errors and we'll need to make sure we sure up our first quarter well on Friday night.
"It will be a big atmosphere at the Arms Park and our players have responded well away from home this year and we'll thrive on to going to three exciting grounds with big crowds to play our rugby over the next few weeks."

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 9/18/12
Yesterday, Terry Collins announced that Lucas Duda will play first base against left-handed pitching for the remainder of the season. That of course translates into first baseman Ike Davis riding the pine against left-handed pitching from here on in, thus becoming a platoon player at least for the rest of this season. Knowing the type of intense player Ike Davis is, you have to think he must be seething about this. He was going nuts not being able to play with that busted ankle, let alone now as he leads the team in home runs and RBI. Is this is a message form the organization to Davis that they see him mostly as a platoon guy at first base who can't hit lefties? Or am I reading too much into this? I'm not going to give you a rant on how unfair this is to Davis, because he has sucked big time against lefties this season, on that there is now doubt. But how will he ever learn to hit them without getting reps in especially now during another meaningless September? Have they tossed th...
