Reviews The Grand Theater
The Grand Theater
Looking back at history, Warsaw has seen its fair share of drama, but the Grand Theater in Warsaw is the city's premier cultural building and a must for your visit to the Polish capital. Located in the historic Theatre Square in Warsaw, the Grand Theater is a theater complex and opera company that first opened in 1833 with a debut production of Rossini's The Barber of Seville. It is also the architectural work of Antonio Corazzi. After having been severely damaged during World War II, the theater reopened in 1965 after an almost twenty-year reconstruction period.
Inside, the National Opera features two auditoriums, the Stanislaw Moniuszko Auditorium and the Emil Mlynarski Auditorium which seat 1,841 and 248 spectators respectively. It is also home to the National Museum and the Warsaw Ballet Company.
To reach the Grand Theater, take the Stare Miasto tram. It is open from 9:00am to 6:00pm from Monday through Saturday and closed on Sundays. For more information, contact +48 22 692 02 00.

Best Margarita (2001)
El Pueblito Place
These sublime concoctions are undoubtedly best enjoyed alfresco, and to do so there is no place better than the Guatemalan/Mexican surf-and-turf, El Pueblito Place. First, there's the marg itself, which is tartly delicious as any in town and comes in large, extra large, and call-a-cab sizes. Then there are the cabana-comes-to-Montrose surroundings of the restaurant's new back patio, in which riots of pastel shades delight human eyes, and hanging plastic bags full of water bamboozle those of the flies. Accompanied by the restaurant's legendary pineapple salsa (or its severely underrated red companion) and the relatively cool breezes of the Gulf Coast evening, the El Pueblito Place alfresco margarita experience is not to be missed.

She is very impatient and has never been asked to stand or tie before I got her. When I got her she was a pasture ornament who was spoiled into a very very pushy and disrespectful horse. She is a 9yr old polish arab. She drags her feet and has worn down her toes already, so I don't want her to wear them down any farther. So she hasn't been tied for very long at a time. Our farrier is coming out on the 3rd, to deal with the toe issue. I have not ridden her due to her lack of disrespect. She has been ridden before and was very well behaved but I want to cure some bad manners before we start trail riding. She is being worked with 3x a week. Tues, Thursday, and one day of the weekend.
I can't just drop the lead rope because if she does move and she steps on it, she will freak out. Another issue I would like to correct asap. If she steps on her lead rope, she goes into complete panic mode and it's quite difficult to get her off her rope and calm her down. She is not a spooky horse at all either. The only time I've seen her freak out is if she steps on the lead rope.
I don't think tying anything to her leg will work, she is the type of horse that will figure out not to do it and then the moment it is off I am betting she will be right back at it.
I have been standing her on a stall mat but the pawing is not just when tied. It's anytime she has to stand still. If we are out walking and I stop to talk she starts pawing. Its impatient on her part and drives me nuts.
If you are leading her and she paws, take the end of your lead and smack her leg with it and say NO, won't take her long to figure out every time she paws she gets a smack on her leg.

On Friday, workers began unloading one million pounds of that debris from a barge in south Seattle. Much of the debris washed up on a remote stretch of Alaskan coastline. After three years of planning, state and environmental groups — financed by a $5 million gift from Japan — spent the past month collecting things like buoys, fishing nets and personal items from victims of the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Oregon Lawmakers Hear Testimony On Tsunami Preparedness By Chris Lehman • Apr 8, 2015 Listen Listening... / Oregon lawmakers are turning their attention to earthquake and tsunami preparedness. A Decade After Tsunami, Asia's Shattered Coasts Are On The Mend By Scott Neuman • Dec 26, 2014 It was one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded, and it triggered the deadliest tsunami in history. More Japanese Tsunami Debris Will Wash Up This Winter On Northwest Shores, Scientists Predict By Jes Burns • Dec 9, 2014 Winter storms off the Oregon and Washington coastlines are expected to bring a new wave of debris from the 2011 tsunami in Japan. Scientists say objects are already washing ashore – with potentially invasive organisms riding along. In March, 2011 an earthquake and tsunami devastated a large swath of eastern Japan. The tsunami reached heights of over 100 feet in some places, washing large quantities of manmade materials out to sea. Japanese officials estimate that about 1.5 million tons of debris floated out into the Pacific. From Landslides To Tsunamis, State Details Disaster Threats To Schools By Ann Dornfeld • Nov 26, 2014 The Washington state education department has released a report detailing the natural disaster risks for schools across the state. Along with familiar risks like earthquakes and wildfires, the list of natural disasters that threaten Washington schools includes things you may not have known to worry about. Like tsunami indundation in Seattle. In Auburn and Puyallup, it's lahars – mud flows from volcanic eruptions. Traces Of Fukushima Radioactivity Detected In West Coast Waters By Tom Banse • Nov 10, 2014 Listen Listening... / The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute announced Monday that trace amounts of radioactivity from Fukushima have been detected off the West Coast. Three Years Later, Where Did Japanese Tsunami Debris Go? By Tom Banse • Mar 12, 2014 Listen Listening... / It's been exactly three years since a huge tsunami in March 2011 took thousands of lives in Japan and washed whole villages out to sea. Reconstructing Japan Three Years After The Earthquake And Tsunami By Marcie Sillman & Amina Al-Sadi • Mar 11, 2014 AP Photo/Eugene Hoshiko Listen Listening... / 7:43 Marcie Sillman talks with Seattle Times science reporter Sandi Doughton about Japan's efforts to rebuild after the devastating earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. Scientists: Stop Worrying About Fukushima Radioactivity In Fish By Ashley Ahearn • Jan 16, 2014 EarthFix Photo/Ashley Ahearn Listen Listening... / 4:54 Following the 2011 tsunami in Japan, a nuclear reactor released hundreds of millions of gallons of radioactive water into the ocean. That sparked fear that contaminated water would reach the West Coast, but three years later, scientists say that radiation in our waters isn't necessarily linked to the nuclear reactor. Washington Shuts Down Tsunami Marine Debris Hotline By Tom Banse • Dec 12, 2013 Listen Listening... / Washington and other Pacific Coast states set up tsunami debris reporting hotlines in the wake of the 2011 disaster in Japan. Structural Engineers Developing Tsunami Design Code For Coastal Buildings By Tom Banse • Feb 15, 2013 SEATTLE - Building codes cover fire prevention, energy efficiency, and seismic safety among other things. Now a group of civil engineers from around the West is developing additions to the code to cover the threat of a tsunami. Kent Yu of Degenkolb Engineers in Portland is one of the members of an American Society of Civil Engineers subcommittee drafting standards for "tsunami loads and effects." "I think it is going to help make our communities more resilient." Dock Confirmed As Tsunami Debris; Salvage Bids Requested By Tom Banse • Jan 18, 2013 A dock that washed ashore on a remote Washington beach last month is now confirmed as debris from the March 2011 tsunami in Japan. This news comes just as the federal government requests bids from salvage companies to get rid of the huge hulk. Tsunami Debris Dock Decontaminated, Removal Poses Next Challenge By Tom Banse • Jan 7, 2013 State and federal biologists say they are confident they have minimized the invasive species threat posed by a derelict dock that washed ashore last month in Olympic National Park. The concrete and steel dock appears to have drifted across the Pacific Ocean after last year's tsunami in Japan. But the story is not over yet. Another Dock Washes Ashore In Wash., Possibly From Japanese Tsunami By Sara Lerner • Dec 19, 2012 Listen Listening... / 3:07 Scientists will soon head to the Olympic coast to evaluate a dock that washed ashore in a remote section of Olympic National Park. It could be debris from last year's tsunami in Japan. It might even be as big as the gigantic piece of debris that showed up on Oregon's coast in June. That dock weighed 188 tons. Dave Workman with the Washington state Marine Debris Task Force tells KUOW's Sara Lerner scientists need to see if invasive species might be hitching a ride on the dock. They also need to figure out how to remove it. Oregon At Odds With Federal Government Over Japanese Tsunami Gift By Chris Lehman • Dec 18, 2012 SALEM, Ore. – The state of Oregon is at odds with the federal government over how to use money from Japan meant for cleaning up tsunami debris. It can't be used to reimburse the state for money it's already spent. The Japanese government donated $5 million to the US this fall to help pay for the cost of cleaning up debris from last year's deadly tsunami. But Oregon hasn't seen a penny of that money so far.

34" tire could be 275/65/20. This will work with your +10 offset as well. It will only hang out 9mm further from stock, which is slightly over 1/4"
You can even do max 34.5".
It will give you the same look and appearance as a 2.5" lift and 35's
But how wide of a tire did you want to go?
No sure, but I am getting the EGR bolt-on look fender flares put on today and I'm afraid my tires won't stick out far enough and may look too tucked in. My Cooper Zeon LTZ's are LT275 65 20's (34.2") and I was thinking maybe a 305 60 20 might work (about 34.4")...

who else is eleven weeks today?
It is normal to show sooner with 2nd babies.
I'm 11 weeks today. I'm not showing. Well, not bump showing. I'm at that fat looking stage. I'm also on #2.
I am 11 weeks today. I had a little extra around the middle so at the start of the day I look a little chubby but by the evening I think I look about 5 months preggo from the bloating. This is baby #3 for me. I am hoping to tell people sometime after Halloween but too be honest I think people might start suspecting due to my midsection looking a little bigger than usual and nothing else is growing.

11 weeks today also. I'm sporting some serious bloat but I don't think I look obviously pregnant yet. Mostly just thick in the middle. Some days it sticks out more than others.
Mom to two beautiful daughters.
I just look thicker and more "solid" in the middle... like a tree trunk. I'm 11w today. After dinner I'll have a bump. :)

Renal Diabetic Diet – The Shocking Solution
If you are sick and tired of having diabetes and kidney disease, this will be the most important message you will ever read.
Here's why: a Registered Nurse named Rachael Gordon for over 10 years has just written a complete study on reversing kidney disease. She discovered a way to do it when top scientists and doctors couldn't. You don't have to go through dialysis or even a kidney transplant. In fact, this report was so good…
It shocked the doctors and turned
the medical world upside down
After they recovered, they actually gave her their full endorsement. And if you know doctors like I do, they almost never do that.
Also on her website are testimonials of people that have reversed kidney disease.
Even with all these endorsements, I was a little weary about Rachael's new report called Kidney Diet Secrets. That's why I'm writing this review. I researched about her report as much as I could.
How It Worked?
The good thing about this report is it's based on natural methods and nutrition that work immediately without using drugs. In fact, she shows you the vitamins that are suppose to help you are actually poisoning you and making your condition worse.
The great news is I believe this system really works in reversing kidney disease in many people. Just like Rachael says on her website.
I must warn you though, you have to be committed and follow her methods exactly. When you do, you should see success.
This Kidney Diet Secret really is a miracle report and Rachael is a Godsend for people with renal diabetes. Even though this product has caught the eye of many in the medical field, a lot of doctors still don't know about it.
Whether you have renal diabetes or caring for someone that has it, you should take 15 minutes out of your day and read this book. If you are ready to give up, don't. Give this one last option a try. You'll be glad you did.
It comes with a 60-day guarantee, so you have nothing to lose. Read it. If you don't like it, just return it with two clicks of a button. No questions asked.
Diabetic Renal Diet
Do you know what's the most important thing in managing kidney disease and diabetes?
It's your renal diabetic diet! Working with a dietitian can help you create a diet plan if you've been diagnosed with kidney disease as a result of diabetes.
What can you expect?
Your diabetic dietitian will set the daily amount of calories you should consume. Now this is very important. Don't let the diabetic dietitian just say 1,200 calories or something. Make them personalize it to your kidney disease situation. You may need more calories. You may need less salt. Make the renal diabetic diet plan customized for you.
What else?
The renal diabetic diet plan will help reduce the amount of work your kidneys by managing your blood glucose levels and fluids you intake. They will separate the proper percentages of carbohydrates, proteins and fats your body should process.
Since your kidneys work harder processing certain things, you will see a priority interest in lowering potassium, phosphorus, sodium and fluids.
This can be very complicated. That's why it's very important to invest in a good renal diabetic diet plan. You can start here on our highest reader satisfaction website called Diabetic Connect.
You don't have to face this alone.
They offer a great social network dedicated to connecting individuals with diabetes. People with the same problems and issues. Users who sign up will receive a free 28-day diabetic meal plan and really useful tools. Of course, this is all free.
I highly recommend you sign-up for it. It sure helped me a lot and I'm sure it will do the same for you.

Simple Renal Diabetic Guidelines To Follow
Not every person with diabetes will get kidney disease. It is really a popular myth. By keeping suitable blood glucose amounts, it is possible to protect against kidney disease. Only when a diabetic who is not able to dispose of waste products within their system, these as sugars and starches, will they go down the path of kidney disease. When people go past that level, they need to be on a renal diabetic diet program.
Reactions from sugars and starches which are not correctly processed through the system leads to high amounts of blood sugars. And it's difficult for proteins to move freely through the method. So if a person who is not going to management diabetes and won't keep right blood glucose ranges, the elimination technique of his / her kidneys does not perform productively.
The kidneys gets overworked, seeking to remove the block proteins and waste. This then results in the kidneys to filter an extreme degree of blood then starts to leak.
Every one of the waste products start to build up during the person's blood. Whilst there are plenty of techniques of preventing kidney disease. When referring to diabetes, kidney disease is acquired simply just as the kidneys are overworked looking to clear away the surplus starch and sugars in the blood. This brings about the kidneys to shut down just like all other organs. When this occurs an individual is then placed on dialysis. Dialysis is really a device that features a similar way like a kidney. Many people then opt for just a transplant but this is not always accessible for anyone who is diabetic.
As like, diabetic renal diet regime is now a subject of curiosity nowadays.
Diabetic nephropathy typically leads to renal failure.
About one in 3 with end-stage renal sickness will have diabetic relevant concerns. About 1 out of 2 diabetic sufferers with type one diabetes will have end stage renal disease 10 to 20 years of starting insulin. Renal ailment can manifest in non-insulin diabetic patients as well.
A person with diabetes need to comprehend how critical it is actually to understand how their kidneys get the job done. Because you cannot live with out kidneys. A diabetic person does not really need to contract kidney disease at all. A correct renal diet ought to be followed to stop any deterioration of types well being. It is been uncovered that almost all diabetic men and women are non-compliant patients and really don't do exactly what the doctor instructs them to do. They just really do not adhere to the directions and recommendations inside the gylcemic index.
By adhering to a diabetic renal diet plan, it emphasizes the need for a team approach by managing the progressive worsening to the kidneys.
Health related researchers hope the following can slow down the illness:
- Checking protein
- Adjusting glucose levels
- Handling tension ranges
Gylcemic index is a chart which is mainly created to assist inform a diabetic patients on what meals to avoid. The meals that take lengthy to digest and breakdown are classified as the ones that injury the kidneys. And while you know that kidneys are dependable for eliminating waste.
Not checking your blood sugar amounts is not wonderful also. Diabetic people usually approved with blood monitors which they make use of a variety of moments each day to test on their blood glucose ranges.
So each and every time you go to your doctor, they will request for your personal blood glucose amounts recordings.
Diabetes who refuse to take this life-saving prescription drugs are then generally recommended to insulin. Insulin helps a diabetic man or woman by enabling the breaking down food and helping the kidneys in removing throw away. In the event you just cannot find the money for this treatment there should be of no concern as you will find distinctive plans available for yourself.
It is also extremely necessary to support keep your weight since it is actually very important in residing a balanced life style and retaining diabetes. But about the other hand several people still refuse to exercise.
But and finally, you may need to be aware of that kidney disease and diabetes don't go hand in hand, they're to diverse variety of conditions.

Renal Diabetic "Steps" to Protect Your Feet
Take "Steps" to Protect Your Feet
Feet are the sort of body parts we don't worry about until they start giving us trouble. However, if you are a person with diabetes or are caring for someone who is, it may be time to start thinking about feet. Why? Because people with diabetes, especially those on a renal diabetic diet are at a higher risk for nerve damage, circulation problems, and infections.
Nerve damage occurs when a person has had diabetes for a long time. It is more common in men than in women, and seems to occur more in people who've had problems controlling their blood sugar. If you have nerve damage, you may not notice when your feet are injured. Nerve damage can also cause feet to become misshapen, creating painful pressure points that can develop ulcers over time. Diabetes can cause blood vessels to become hard and narrow, leading to poor circulation. Injuries cannot heal when blood flow is blocked.
High blood sugar levels can make people with diabetes more prone to bacterial and fungal infections.
Combine these with even the tiniest cut or blister and you can have serious trouble. There will be over 50,000 foot and leg amputations this year caused by complications from diabetes. These conditions are largely preventable. You can avoid them by keeping your blood glucose under control, sticking to a good diet and exercise plan, and taking medicines exactly as your doctor tells you.
Signs of diabetes-related foot problems include feet that tingle, burn or hurt, are changing in shape, or have changes in color or temperature. You may lose hair on your feet, toes and lower legs, or you may notice a loss of sensation to touch or temperature. Also watch for dry cracked skins, sores that aren't healing, ulcers, and fungal infections between your toes and on your toenails. If you currently have or have a history of any of these symptoms, see your physician or podiatrist immediately!
It could save your feet.
People at high risk for foot problems need to have their feet examined by a doctor AT LEAST four times a year. To help your physician remember, take off your shoes and socks in the examining room. He will check for loss of feeling, pulses (circulation), and look carefully for tiny injuries or irritated places.
You'll also need to do a home foot inspection each day. You (or a family member or friend if you can't see well) should check your entire foot – top, bottom, back, sides and in between your toes. If you have trouble bending over to see all angles of your feet, use an unbreakable mirror. Look for any injuries such as sores, cuts, cracked skin, or bruises, no matter how minor they may seem. Check the color and temperature of your feet. Do any areas seem swollen, red, or callused? Do you notice any changes in the shape of your feet? Look out for foot fungus, nail fungus, and ingrown toenails. If you see anything wrong, contact your doctor or other healthcare provider immediately. It's important to seek help quickly in order to lessen your risk of getting a foot ulcer.
Take good care of your feet! Wash them every day, then make sure they are carefully dried. It is especially important to dry the area between your toes. Air doesn't circulate very well down there, and any excess moisture could cause infection.
Don't soak your feet- it can lead to dry skin. You may need to use a moisturizing cream or lotion after washing to keep feet from becoming dry and chapped. Ask your doctor to recommend a brand. Remember not to put any cream or lotion between your toes.
Use extra caution when you trim your toenails. Toenails will be softest and easiest to cut right after you've washed and dried your feet. Follow the natural curve of your nails with out cutting into the corners, then go over any rough edges with an emery board. Your healthcare provider can demonstrate the proper method to you. She can also refer you to a foot specialist if you need help taking care of your nails. If you're having vision problems, can't comfortable reach your feet, or have yellow, thickened toenails, it's best to let your doctor or podiatrist handle the pedicures.
You should definitely avoid cutting corns and calluses, or using any form of chemical corn remover. Take them to the doctor. He can show you how to gently smooth them with a pumice stone, if this is appropriate. If you do get a blister, do not rupture it. See your doctor.
Extremes of temperature can be dangerous. Use a thermometer instead of your toes to test bathwater. Around 90-95 degrees is safe. Or, use your elbow. Wear protective shoes around the pool and at the beach (or anytime you walk on hot concrete). If your feet gets cold in the winter, try insulated socks and slippers. Stay away from electric blankets and heating pads.
Never, ever go barefoot. Proper shoes, socks or stockings are your first line of defense against foot injury. You should even wear shoes indoors. When buying shoes, avoid plastic uppers, skimpy sandals (especially those with a thong between the toes), and shoes that don't feel comfortable the first time you try them on. You'll need good arch support. If you have corns or calluses, buy shoes that are wide and deep enough to accommodate them. The best time to go shoe shopping is at the end of the day, when your feet are at their most swollen. When you buy new shoes, wear them for only few hours each day at first, checking for problems as you go.
Socks made of cotton or wool tend to be most absorbent and comfortable. Wearing white socks can help you inspect your feet for injury. When you take off your socks, check them carefully for any blood or discharge.
Your doctor or other healthcare provider can recommend the best types of shoes for you. You may need to be fitted for custom-molded shoes, especially if you've had previous foot ulcers or if the shape of your foot has been deformed.
Before putting on shoes, look and feel inside them. You're looking for foreign objects and rough places inside the shoe. These could cause serious injury if you walk around all day without feeling them.
Finally, physical exercise plays an important role in improving circulation to the feet and lower extremities. You'll want to work with your healthcare team on this. They can teach you ways to exercise your feet safely and efficiently, even if you are unable to walk. It's especially important when you're on a renal diabetic diet.
Pay attention to your feet, and treat them well. Remember to keep feet clean and dry, check for problems every day, and protect them from the elements with good shoes, socks and your own common sense. Always consult with your doctor at the first sign of any problems, or if you have questions. After all, you only get one pair!

Today is Read Across America Day, commemorating Dr. Seuss' birthday, and encouraging children to read, and parents to read to children.
Whether you're favorite Dr. Seuss book is 'Hop on Pop!', 'The Cat in the Hat', or 'Green Eggs and Ham'; or you prefer 'Curious George' or 'The Golden Books' series, I urge you to take ten minutes each day to read with your kids. I'll always treasure my mom reading 'Are You My Mother?' to me!
Why is the Boston Pops called 'America's Orchestra'? Pops Conductor, Keith Lockhart, answered that question when I spoke to him this morning. He's nothing like how I used to imagine orchestra conductors - as you can see in the picture! Nothing old-fogey here, and the same goes for their performance of The Streisand Songbook at the Arsht Center Tuesday night. Click to listen to the interview and find out how I'm now within one degree of Bono (thank you Keith!).
Here's information about the Pops performance Tuesday.
Happy weekend!

W'md sheriff's office arrests Andersen
- Details

As this edition of The Journal goes to press, the owner and operator of Good Eats Restaurant, Stephen C. Andersen, is being arraigned in the Westmoreland General District Court on the charge of violating a protective order.
Andersen lost his wife, Sally Rumsey, during one of this year's winter weather episodes and the woman's mysterious death is still the subject of a continuing Westmoreland Sheriff's Office investigation.
County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Andersen at his restaurant on the afternoon of Saturday, July 10. He was transported to Northern Neck Regional Jail, where he was held without bond pending the outcome of the July 13 arraignment.
The Sheriff's Office has declined to comment as to the particulars of the protective order Andersen is alleged to have violated. That office additionally has refrained from offering comment about its continued investigation of Rumsey's death.
Rumsey had just returned from a bicycle trip in Vietnam to the Oldhams home she shared with Andersen. According to Andersen's statement to police authorities, the couple quarreled and Rumsey was missing from the home when Andersen returned from walking his dogs on Feb. 5.
On Feb. 7 Andersen reported his wife's absence to the Westmoreland Sheriff's Office. A search was initiated and Rumsey's body was located near the home on Feb. 9.
Subpoena and other records the Sheriff's Office filed in the Westmoreland Circuit Court during the initial period of the investigation were later sealed. DNA from Andersen, a computer, other electronic items and even a wine bottle were gathered as potential evidence by the police authorities. It is believed that those items are still being evaluated at the state forensics lab.
Several months ago the state coroner ruled that Rumsey died from exposure to the cold. The Sheriff's Office, however, made it known it will continue its investigation of the death.
Before the courthouse records were sealed, a police document was discovered that included content characterizing the inquiry as a possible murder investigation.
The Sheriff's Office has at no time either stated or implied that Andersen is suspect in a possible murder investigation. Rumsey is survived by Andersen, two daughters, one stepson, her mother, one brother and one sister

Oxford landslide road re-opens after huge repair
An Oxfordshire road that had to be closed for a year because of a landslide is to be re-opened today.
The damage was caused by heavy rain and flooding in the area late last year.
The road was shut on the 20th December 2012 between Hinksey Hill and Bagley Wood after a 60m section of road slipped down the hillside.
The council spent the months following the landslide repairing the road in a £1m project.
Oxford Cllr David Nimmo Smith said: "It has been an enormous task to undertake all the necessary survey work, come up with the solution and then the physical repair work itself. We appreciate that local people, bus users and others have been significantly affected by the need to close the road."

Bernadetto de' Medici
Bernadetto de' Medici (died after 1576) was an Italian patrician who moved from Florence to Naples.
A member to a secondary branch of the Medici Family (the one later called of the Princes of Ottaiano), he was the son of Ottaviano de' Medici and Bartolomeo Giugni. In 1559 he married Giulia de' Medici, the illegitimate daughter of Duke Alessandro de' Medici (22 July 1510-6 January 1536/37) by Taddea Malespina.
In 1567 he bought the signiory of Ottaiano in the Kingdom of Naples, and moved there, probably due to strife with Grand Duke Cosimo I. He died in Naples after 1576.
His son Alessandro (died 1606) was Lord of Ottaiano and General of the Papal States. His descendants unsuccessfully claimed the title of Grand Duke of Tuscany after the extinction of the main branch of the Medici.

Best Pizza (2010)
Virgilio's Pizzeria Napoletana
From his 1,400-square-foot eponymous pizzeria just west of Belmar, Virgilio Urbano churns out wonderfully satisfying, thin-crusted chewy pies. You can watch him at work in the exposed kitchen, whose brick-lined oven doubles as a stage for more magic, including addictive spinach pinwheels, olive-oil-brushed garlic knots, calzones, strombolis and oven-hot subs. The straight-up, old-fashioned pizzas slippery with a judiciously herby and sweet tomato sauce and topped with housemade mozzarella are simple pleasures that don't rely on flashy gimmicks or clever Californication approaches to hold your attention. You won't stumble upon chicory or lusty pork belly, fingerling potatoes or porcini dust on the list of pizza toppings. Instead, you'll find those classic, impeccably sourced ingredients that pizza purists hold sacred.

MoR 3: another smashing success!
Yesterday was Montreal on Rails #3 and god, it was good!
Our presenters, Gary Haran, François Beausoleil and James Golick all gave very insightful and interesting presentations. If you want more information about these, I have posted more information on the past presentations page.
Alain Pilon took great pictures of the event has already posted them on Flickr. James Golick and François Beausoleil both videotaped the presentations so we can (hopefully) expect multi-angle videos shortly. See the Pics & Vids page.
Many people went out for a beer(s) afterward (to wash down that Domino's Pizza!) and, as always, I had interesting conversations with Mathieu Martin and Marc-André Cournoyer.
Apparently, a few of you don't know we have a Google Group. Well, we do! Feel free to subscribe to it and post your burning questions.
Special thanks to Standout Jobs for hosting the event. The new venue is fantastic! A big thank you to O'Reilly for sponsoring the event with free books!
We at Karabunga never thought MoR would be such a success, so most and foremost, thanks to YOU!

Great place for a family brunchPosted on 09 / 08 / 2013
Good vegan options, lovely view, good place to take omnis, good for kids.
The salads are fabulous (and most are vegan) plus marked vegan (or veganisable veg items) on menu. Usually at least 1-2 vegan desserts/cakes. They do excellent coffee with soy or rice milk.
Make sure you arrive early, especially weekends for brunch or lunch as it can get very busy and you will have to queue!
Cons: Can be very busy, May need to queue for a table

The idea of consumers managing their own healthcare has been around for decades. Walter McClure's championing of a "buy right" model for healthcare included both employers and consumers engaged in value-based purchasing, and dates back to the 1970s. It re-emerged with the promotion of consumer-directed health plans (CDHPs) in more recent years, adding personal health spending accounts (HSAs) as a way to make consumers more accountable for their health and healthcare management.
Making consumers more accountable has been suggested as part of the recent "patient safety" movement, with consumers advised to ask the right questions of their healthcare providers, and monitor the care they are offered for potential mistakes. Shifting more responsibility and costs to consumers is widely lauded as the way to overcome the "tragedy of the commons" where consumers' lack of "skin in the game" makes them lean toward unnecessary or overly expensive healthcare, along with slovenly management of their own health.
Shifting more roles and responsibilities to consumers is an ideal "market solution" to the healthcare cost crisis because it reduces the government role and business costs simultaneously. But is it realistic to expect consumers to adopt and execute their role effectively?
One way to examine this question is to consider three key elements with respect to consumers' behavior in general:
It can easily be argued that consumers ought to be sufficiently motivated to manage their health as well as healthcare demand for their own intrinsic reasons. Their health and life quality greatly depend on how well they manage their health behavior, as well as healthcare use.
Consumer behavior has been credited with affecting, if not determining, as much as 50-75% of all health problems and healthcare use. Recent epidemics of HIV/AIDS, obesity, and diabetes have clearly shown that consumers' self-interest in their health is by no means sufficient motivation for them to behave "correctly," however. Employers and insurers have recognized that intrinsic motivation is not enough. The majority of employers who offer their employees (along with dependents or retirees in many cases) health management programs also offer incentives to entice them to participate.
These range from as little as a few dollars worth of T-shirts or coffee mugs to as much as thousands of dollars in health insurance premium reductions, cash or other rewards. And the effectiveness of incentives has been clearly demonstrated by making the difference between participation rates in the 10-30% range and those as high as 90-95%.
There is no strong case available indicating that consumers are inherently capable of health self-management. All the suggestions for consumer-directed health management that I have read address the necessity for employers, insurers, government, and cooperating providers to supply additional education, training, or information to consumers in order to empower them to carry out such a role effectively. In fact, the combination of managing both their health and their healthcare effectively calls for an immense information infrastructure investment.
Given the wide variations in consumer capabilities in general, with respect to factors, such as innate intelligence, literacy, language skills, reading and learning speed, etc., it is clear that we do not really know how much of an investment in capability will be necessary to enable truly effective consumer management of their health. We lack the scientific foundation to even identify and promote what are the best approaches to health management in general, much less what are the best ways to enable consumers to use them
While this factor is ".honored more often in the breach than in the observance?" (Shakespeare's Hamlet), it is increasingly recognized as an essential third leg in supporting consumer behavior management—whether by themselves or by others. Reminding consumers of the right thing to do at the right time and place, using the right media and messages, is recognized as an essential element in marketing, for example, as well as management.
Fortunately, recent technology developments in computer analysis and communications make the delivery of reminders far more cost-effective than would have been true in the past. Computer-automated analysis of individual consumer characteristics, preferences, attitudes, and personality traits, along with "brain science" learning of how emotions affect behavior, along with rational thought, have vastly increased the potential for effective messages to be created.
Along with the analytic potential, developments in wireless and Internet communication have made it dramatically less expensive to deliver messages to consumers at the right time and place, rather than relying on less effective disconnected remote communications or less efficient face-to-face alternatives. As health management programs have moved from a narrow chronic disease focus to holistic health and entire populations, these communications technologies have become far more widespread, if not dominant in such uses.
The challenge for all stakeholders who champion the idea of consumer self-management of their health and health care is to ensure that all three elements are in place to motivate, enable, and remind consumers how they can and should behave. Given the millennia-old challenges of governing consumers' public and private behaviors in general, along with managing their employment behaviors and marketing their purchasing behaviors, this is not a challenge to be taken lightly.

The Internal Revenue Service wants its cut from oil spill victims who receive BP payments for lost wages.
The agency says that under current law, BP payments for lost wages are taxable -- just like the lost wages would have been. The IRS says payments for physical injuries or property loss are generally tax free.
BP officials have agreed to create a $20 billion fund for spill victims, as well as a $100 million fund to support displaced oil rig workers.
The IRS is planning to hold forums in seven cities in the Gulf region on July 17 to help oil spill victims with tax troubles or questions.

No completely safe way, you'll likely have to power down or unplug, then...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
Then Repair the other drive.

Actually, in the end I found an article suggesting I quit out and start again, but skip the restore as part of the setup. I created a temporary user, then did the full restore once the set up process was all over. Was able to restore everything without any further issues, including my old user account. Probably have some stray files using up a bit of disc space, but I can sort that out some other time. Just happy that Time Machine ended up working so well.
There's obviously some problem with doing the restore as part of the setup process, I found plenty of others with the same issue. Whether it's due to an issue with permissions or OS versions I have no idea. There was no error message displayed, the process just stalled.
