Hello, Parrotbeak. I've been going through some community pages on wikia, looking for a way to create a column template for my wikia. Could you give me a hand? http://the-wintervale.wikia.com/wiki/Bestiary I'm trying to make a column for this page. Thank you!Loading editor
Column template as in an automated column divide? I've gone ahead and added Template:column-count and coded it into the page you've linked (column set at 3; change it if you want). Is this what you were aiming to make?Loading editor
I'm not sure. I am immensely uninformed on how the coding on Wikia works, and only just started trying it out. I was aiming for column counts similar to the one on thispage.Loading editor

Hi Parrotbeak,
There's this user named Zeus Reed who keeps nagging random users to help him/her get unbanned. There's a clear reason why he gets banned on most wikis, but he's ignoring it big time and you can still see the comments on my Community Central. His main "concerns" are to get unbanned on specifically EAHWiki and MHWiki, and I've explained that he can't really get unblocked by the assistance of other users and I have gave him a warning that I'd tell you that he's still around causing trouble if he doesn't quit it.
~Anita~Loading editor
I'm rather unfortunately aware of this person's behavior. He's already had an extra chance and blew it and I'm trying to get him to understand there's nothing in the bag for him anymore. I rather spare him staff involvement, but will act if my peace keeps getting disturbed.
Thank you for your notification.Loading editor

At the top of the list
The first USB drive I ever purchased was a Lexar JumpDrive Secure 256MB. Like my first one, these two perform just like it -- perfectly right out of the gate. I plug them in, wait a few seconds to get recognized by the OS (Windows XP SP2) and they're good to go. Typically I have to wait a bit longer for my PNY 2GB Attache (2nd on my list). The drive is incredibly small so I could very easily plug it in and forget it was there if I were to close the front USB panel door on my Dell Optiplex GX260. They're better in the physical design more slender compared to my wider 256MB which helps in plugging these drives in tight spaces. I only gave it a low score of 1 because I managed to get these drives for $25.00 each after rebate. I'd say wait for sale to get these, but if you can't wait you won't be sorry about their performance. Also these drives have no security software to protect your data. If they're lost, your saved data is out in the open so don't lose them or leave them plugged in the PC.

I don't understand how we got to the point where the police think this is ok. Is it our fault? Did we ignore the events that led up to this? Was it always this way? The only comfort I can take from this is that we are paying attention now.

Yukon Brewing craft beer has cemented its place as a local favourite up North. But expanding the brand into other Canadian provinces hasn't been easy without that hometown advantage, says Bob Baxter, Co-founder and President of Yukon Brewing. "We can't outspend the big guys. We can't even outspend the little guys who are right down the road. But we can outwork them." The company has set out to do just that by introducing a batch of Two Brewers Yukon Single Malt Whisky this year and bringing their beer to global markets as far as Japan and Germany – all while working to support the local startup community in Whitehorse. In this week's #StartupPodcast, Bob tells us about the pros and cons of operating a company in the Yukon, how local liquor laws have impacted the business and his ultimate vision for entrepreneurship in Canada's Great North.

Janie Goldstein argues that startups should have a social mission from the start. However, before she created The Upside Foundation, entrepreneurs didn't have a model or platform to work from. "We know they (entrepreneurs) have no time, and they should be very focused on building a company and getting a product out. We know they have no cash. So that's why this platform was created. People talk about what's the problem, what's the solution? They know they want to be philanthropic… but they don't have the means or platform to do it." Janie Goldstein is the Executive Director and founder of The Upside Foundation of Canada, a new philanthropic venture that helps startups to commit options, which are then given back to Canadian charities upon the company's exit. Janie obtained a degree from Montreal's McGill University in Electrical Engineering, followed by an MBA from Harvard University. Her marketing and technical career started at Bell-Northern Research (later Nortel) and took her into consulting, where she stayed for over a decade. In this week's #StartupPodcast, Rivers and Janie delve deep into social entrepreneurship in Canada while using Janie's insight to understand why startups should start with a plan to give back.

Tracey Scarlett is an expert in women entrepreneurship. Over her career, she's learned what it takes for women to thrive and grow. "Women in general are really well prepared. They're educated, they have great ideas, and they want to build businesses.

Tracey is one of Canada's leading catalysts, advocates and experts in women's entrepreneurship and growth. For over two decades, Tracey has been mentoring, advising and fostering the growth of businesses run by female entrepreneurs in Canada.

Rent, for most, is the single biggest payment people make in a month. According to Vancouverite Philipp Postrehovsky, it's a $450 billion market, and some say it's gone undisrupted for far too long. That's why Postrehovsky co-founded RentMoola, an online global payment network, to improve the rent and condo fee payment process. "If you give someone a tool that's convenient, they will use it," says Postrehovsky. "I've always been a believer in simplifying your life with online technology." Many of RentMoola's customers, including students, have rarely, if ever, used a cheque book. For this reason and more, Postrehovsky says banks are starting to sing to the fintech tune and partner with these innovative companies to improve customer experiences like paying rent. In this week's #StartupPodcast with Rivers Corbett, Philipp dives into Canada's fintech scene, reflects on how entrepreneurs are changing the future of banking, and discusses the impact mobile payments can have on the rent-by-check-tradition.

As a teen, like most her age, Tonya Surman was faced with the fate-defining question of choosing between good and evil. She knew the road to evil would be more lucrative, but instead, she made a decision to use her skills to make a positive impact on society. However, after feeling continuously dis-empowered by inefficiencies and lack of progress working at various non-profit organizations, Tonya knew her frustration needed an outlet. "I was confronted over and over again with people reinventing the wheel and getting nowhere. I found this to be infuriating," says Tonya. "My passion is driven by rage, by the frustration of people trying to do good, (of people) who care so deeply who are being confronted obstacle by obstacle, (and) who are trying to get their work to the next level." To help social organizations overcome this, Tonya co-founded the Centre for Social Innovation, which works to catalyze social innovation in Toronto and around the world, and is currently its CEO. She's also the co-author of the book "The Community Bond: An Innovation in Social Finance" and was also named the Global Ashoka Fellow. In this #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett chats with Tonya about the social entrepreneurship revolution; shifting models of sustainability; trends, challenges and opportunities for social entrepreneurs in Canada; and, what needs to be done to support and promote the success of Canadian social entrepreneurs.
When David Alston travelled to Estonia two years ago to film the documentary Code Kids, he saw a country decades ahead of its time. Not only had the education system infused coding into its curriculum, the government had embraced the cloud and adopted an entrepreneurial culture. Unable to tell bureaucrats from entrepreneurs, the culture of innovation made a lasting impression on this East Coast entrepreneur that he applies to his work in Canada. "(Estonia) skipped a couple of generations and built their entire government on the cloud. This is where government should be… Why don't we adopt similar technology and get government in the cloud?" Championing this forward thinking approach in his home province of New Brunswick, this serial entrepreneur (Alston is the talent behind Salesforce Radian6, Brilliant Labs and Introhive) is leading a movement to build Atlantic Canada into a cluster of startup provinces. In this episode of the #StartupPodcast, host Rivers Corbett chats with Alston on the opportunities for the small and agile provinces of Atlantic Canada to become global leaders in entrepreneurship and innovation.

Sean McCormick says his company, Manitobah Mukluks, is a microcosm of what is possible when a community comes together to solve social and economic issues. "We're mission-driven," says McCormick, recipient of the 2010 Excellence in Aboriginal Business Leadership Award.

Brenda Halloran's father was an entrepreneur before the word even existed. In this episode, Halloran talks about how her dad's influence inspired her to be entrepreneurial in all of her pursuits.

" Halloran is the CEO of the WEK Effect Inc., a Waterloo-based e-commerce startup that aims to engage millennials in philanthropy, giving back, and making a difference in their communities.

While serial entrepreneur Allen Lau knows first-hand how difficult it can be to build a startup, he also knows how rewarding the lessons brought with the highs — and the lows — can be. "The number-one thing that stops people from starting a business is hesitation," says Lau. "If you can overlook this, you can enjoy the journey. Many startups will fail, and it's only natural, and it's actually okay. The lessons that you learn through success and failure will be life-changing." Lau is the co-founder and CEO of Wattpad, a Toronto-based social story sharing app that connects readers and writers from around the world. Wattpad users can access multimedia stories from a variety of genres. If users can't find exactly what they're looking for, the app gives them the power to write and share that story themselves.

As Canada made preparations to welcome Syrian refugees into the country, serial entrepreneur Michael Tippett knew he wanted to get involved. Cue the creation of Startland, a grassroots organization launched by Tippett and other Vancouver startup community members to provide Syrian refugees with the support and technology to achieve their entrepreneurial dreams. "People have the potential to come in and really contribute from day one and we just want to make sure that they have the capacity to do it."

In this episode of the Startup Canada Podcast with host Rivers Corbett, Tippett shares with us the story behind Startland, the evolution of the Vancouver startup scene, and how his latest project Wantoo is helping entrepreneurs know exactly what their customers want.
"I decided to go right at Bell, Telus & Rogers, and disrupt the core wireless oligarchy that's a core business for them, which obviously kicked off a very interesting eight years at Wind," says the Chairman and CEO of Wind Mobile Canada. When Tony Lacavera co-founded Wind Mobile in 2008, he knew he was taking on some big industry players, but that didn't stop him from wanting to shake up the state of wireless in Canada. That wasn't his first time disrupting the status quo. Prior to Wind Mobile, Lacavera founded Globalive in 1998 to stimulate the Canadian startup investment sector. In this episode of Startup Canada Podcast, host Rivers Corbett chats with Tony about how technology has impacted business, what it's like to go up against the big guys, and how his track record and good old fashioned hard work has been the key to his success as a disruptive entrepreneur.
In the eyes of Boris Wertz, founder of Version One Ventures, being a successful venture capitalist means, "remembering you are a coach, not a player." In his first few years as an investor, Wertz struggled to follow his own advice. Today, he is one of the top early-stage investors in Canada, with more than 60 consumer, Internet and enterprise companies in his portfolio. Wertz is also the founder of JustBooks – an online platform to find used books in Europe. He led that company until it was sold in 2008. Following that, he dabbled as an angel investor, which eventually led to him becoming a venture capitalist. Having the perspective of both an entrepreneur and an investor has been valuable for Wertz; he has advice for both sides of the field. In this edition of the Startup Canada Podcast, Wertz shares an inside look into the life of a VC, and the pros and cons of Canada's startup finance environment.

"How can we build a billion dollar company and have it be safe and de-risked?" This is a key question for Stephen Partridge when building a new business. Partridge is a serial entrepreneur, board member of Startup Canada, and Head of Strategic Assets at Events.com. To Partridge, the Silicon Valley approach isn't perfect. While innovation and disruption are needed to build a scalable 'unicorn', there is value in de-risking a venture. This is where Partridge turns to Ottawa's revenue-generating model. A venture that brings in revenue is de-risked and provides room to maneuver when funding is scarce. He believes Canada has everything entrepreneurs need to find the balance between de-risk and disruption in order to build a billion dollar global company. In this episode of Startup Podcast, host Rivers Corbett interviews Partridge about building a global venture, the support needed to be successful, and why Canada is the perfect place to start up.

"When we look at great entrepreneurs, they have that natural, burning curiosity and they have that sense of excitement around learning." – Sarah Prevette, Founder of Future Design School.

The operators of two Camden charter schools ordered to close by the state for poor academic performance accused regulators Thursday of favoring larger and more established charter operators at their expense.
City Invincible Charter School, near Lanning Square, received a letter last week saying its second year in the city would be its last. D.U.E. Season Charter in Liberty Park is appealing its March notification that its charter would not be renewed. City Invincible has not determined if it will appeal.
The June closings come as larger charter and "Renaissance" school operators plan to open as early as fall. KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy has plans to open with about 100 kindergartners in Lanning Square, and Mastery and Uncommon Schools plan to open schools, pending final state approval, in temporary locations before building permanent facilities.

Mom to Sarah (Dec 2007), Chase (August 2010) and Ella (June 2012)
#1 - You're the parents, so you get to decide!
#2 - I used to work in the legal field, and nearly every lawyer goes by [firstInitial] [middlename][lastname] (ex: J. Brandon Doyle). So at least by adulthood, tons of people do this.
#3 - With my first baby I really wanted him to have two last names. His father is Latino and has two. But I have two middle names (my original middle name + maiden). I wanted DS to keep my maiden name as a last name, and his father's last name too. BUT, almost all the other moms on these BabyCenter message boards warned me it is a huge pain in the butt because in the US nobody understands how to use two last names, or they want to hyphenate. After LOTS of soulsearching, I trusted these other parents and gave him two middle names instead. I am already grateful for listening to that advice. So the point here is, don't underestimate how little time people meeting your child will spend trying to figure out their name. And that the advice here is worth listening to. Which brings us to ...
#4 - I agree with mmcgrew11: "I think you give you child a first and middle name so you can choose between the two names."
My mom got a first name she wasn't crazy about, and a middle name she hated. She always wished her parents gave her two good choices so she could have ditched the first name.
#5 - My kid's name doesn't "flow". It's nice when it works out that way, but in our case it didn't, and I don't care! (Point being, maybe he'd end up going with the first name after all your planning.)
Good luck! Let us know what you decide.

my ex husband was named malcolm joseph but he goes by joe....it didn't bother him at all..i think he hated his dad and for that reason hated sharing the name. but not the part about going by his middle..

Big data means big business for venture investors.
Venture capital going to startups with big-data-related business plans came close to $1.4 billion last year and accounted for more than 5% of all venture dollars placed with young companies. While that was down slightly from 2011, the number of deals grew and the total dwarfed earlier investment years, according to a study from CB Insights and the law firm Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe.
At the head of this surge are Ron Conway's angel firm SV Angel, Sequoia Capital and IA Ventures, the top three firms for doing big-data deals over the past five years. New Enterprise Associates and First Round Capital round out the top five on the most active list.
The study is the most up to date I've seen to isolate big-data investing. It found that dollars put to work have jumped in the past two years. While last year's total fell slightly from $1.5 billion in 2011, both years are well above the 2008 to 2010 average of $578 million.
California has been the hot bed of activity with 45% of deals over the past five years, followed distantly by New York. The Golden State saw last year's three largest deals: Cloudera ($65 million raised), Palantir Technologies ($56.1 million) and Rocket Fuel ($50 million), the study found.
Acquisitions of big data companies also have spiked in the past two years, with IBM the most active acquirer.
Of note is how the venture investment focus has changed in the past five years. Five years ago, big data infrastructure companies took the largest share of the dollars. Last year, big data analytics did.
What follows is a chart of the most active big data venture investors from 2008 to 2012 as determined by the CB Insights and Orrick study. (Photo above courtesy of Shutterstock.)

Michael Farenas Batters Mark Davis In Upset; Billy Dib Wins
By Jake Donovan
By Jake Donovan
Michael Farenas scored the biggest win of his career, battering Mark Davis into submission Wednesday evening at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
With the win, Farenas is now in the running for the winner of next week's title fight rematch between Argenis Mendez and Rances Barthelemy.
The result was not only an upset, but a one-sided rout as Davis was seemingly unaware of what he was walking into. The unbeaten super featherweight never seemed to recover from a rough opening round, suffering a cut that was ruled to have been caused by a punch.
From there, Farenas forced a dog fight, which was precisely the best chance the visiting Filipino stood to win. Davis tried to turn things around, enjoying pockets of success in round three and doing his best to dictate the pace in round four.
The strategy miserably backfired, however, as Farenas let it rip in a dominant 5th round that could have easily been scored 10-8 even without the presence of an official knockdown. Davis was battered throughout the round and took enough additional punishment in round six to prompt an extended visit from the ringside physician.
After carefully observing the unbeaten Ohioan and further discussing with referee Steve Smoger, it was decided by the doctor that the fighter could go out for one more round but with the threat of pulling the plug should he continue to serve as a punching bag.
Davis didn't turn things around, but enjoyed the next best thing - an uneventful round seven. If he had anything left in the tank, it could have spawned a turnaround. Instead, it merely granted him a stay of execution.
Farenas went to town in round eight, pouncing on Davis and unloading with power shots until Smoger had no choice but to stop the contest.
The official time was 0:58 of round eight.
Farenas advances to 39-4-4 (32KO), having now won five straight. The 30-year old, who is promoted by Manny Pacquiao's MP Promotions, is now the #2 contender to the sanctioning body who recognizes Mendez as its 130 lb. titlist. If Farenas doesn't get immediate dibs at the winner of next week's title fight rematch, it will only be due to his having to fight a final eliminator to earn that right.
Davis was being groomed for a title shot, but instead gives promoter/rapper Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson a birthday to forget. The loss is his first as a pro, as he falls to 18-1 (5KO).
The special edition of Friday Night Fights aired on Wednesday due to Friday serving as a national holiday in the United States. 50 Cent celebrates his birthday on Saturday, and for the second year in a row decided to host a major fight card at Foxwoods to commemorate the personal milestone. Rather than receive the gift of watching one of his clients advance to the contender level, he once again rewards an opposing fighter.
The latest setback for the rapper-turned-promoter comes just four days after watching Yuriorkis Gamboa suffer a knockout loss to Terence Crawford in their sensational lightweight title fight last Saturday in Omaha, Nebraska.
As for Farenas, the world is his for the taking. The southpaw is a proven commodity at the contender level, boasting a narrow win over Fernando Beltran, a hard-fought loss to Gamboa and unfinished business with unbeaten 130 lb. titlist Takashi Uchiyama. The two fought to a technical draw in an aborted three-round affair in Aug. '12.
Five wins later, he proved to Mark Davis who is ready to move in a stacked super featherweight division.
Former featherweight titlist Billy Dib scored a much-needed win, outpointing retread Alberto Garza in their 10-round televised co-feature.
Scores were 96-93 (twice) and 98-91 in favor of Dib, who will now campaign in the 130 lb. division.
It was a rough night at the office for Dib and also referee Allan Huggins, whose presence was required throughout the contest. Dib was cut outside of his right eye in the opening round due to an accidental headbutt, but managed to fight through the wound.
Garza's intent was to make the fight as ugly as possible, and it was mission accomplished for the most part. The battle-tested veteran had his bright spots, but his best round of the night - a solid effort in round six - was neutralized by a point deduction due to excessive low blows.
Dib improves to 37-3 (21KO), picking up a win in his first fight back since a one-sided stoppage loss to Evgeny Gradovich in their title fight rematch last November in Macau. The sequel came nearly nine months after their ESPN2-televised thriller last April, in which Dib saw a 21-month title reign come to an end in dropping a decision in what was perceived at the time as an upset.
Garza suffers his second straight loss as he falls to 26-8-1 (21KO). The Mexican slugger has pulled off the occasional upset, including wins over Justin Savi and Nery Saguilan. Both were immediately followed by knockout losses, falling short to the likes of Robinson Castellanos and unbeaten Nicholas Walters, the latter serving as his lone title shot in an 11-year career.
Earlier tonight, two of the brightest young stars on the DiBella Entertainment roster, Junior "Sugar Boy" Younan and Louis "Cruise Control" Cruz, stayed unbeaten, winning dominant unanimous decisions in separate bouts to open up 50 Cent's SMS Promotions card at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, CT.
The 18-year-old phenom Younan was taken the distance for the first time in his young career, scoring a shutout over tough-as-nails Azamat Umarzoda. The super middleweight Younan got in some much-needed rounds, having previously scored four consecutive first-round knockouts in two minutes or less.
The "boxing prodigy", as Younan was referred to in a NY Times article written on him when he was just 10 years old, showed the total package, displaying lightning quick hands and combination punching to both the body and head, as well as amazing footwork and defensive movement. It was an impressive showing for the Brooklyn-native, who improved to a perfect 5-0, 4KO's, with the four-round unanimous decision. Younan will be back in action on an upcoming DiBella Entertainment Broadway Boxing card this summer in NYC.
The Bronx-native Cruz lived up to his nickname cruising to a six-round unanimous decision over Ryan Picou in their super lightweight matchup. Cruz displayed a piston-like jab that kept Picou off balance for much of the fight. Cruz pressed the action throughout and was the much busier of the two, as Picou was content to stay on the outside, looking to score with single shots. In the end, all three judges scored the bout in Cruz's favor, with scorecards of 59-55 twice, and 58-56. With the win, Cruz improved to a perfect 8-0, 4KO's, and, like Younan, will be featured on an upcoming DiBella Entertainment Broadway Boxing card this summer in NYC.

So where's the source who knows Floyd failed 3 tests???
Maybe people don't have too good of memories, but Montoya started this all like over 3 months ago. Golden Boy instantly responded by sending Montoya a letter from their attorneys saying they'll take legal action if he doesn't remove the rumors from his website and he took them down instantly.
Hauser is clearly saying those are rumors, and the rumors started from Montoya, who along with Kim are known Floyd haters to many. Just read their stances on anything Floyd related. 3 months ago, when Montoya started these rumors, all he said was he knew someone (his supposed source), who knew someone that knew Floyd failed 3 tests, and Golden Boy paid off the USADA to cover up the test results. Nevermind the fact that he didn't provide the source at all, and that the USADA had the test results released for all 3 of Floyd's fights where the USADA was involved.
Even now, go read Montoya's twitter. He's not commenting on anything really, just saying their rumors. Someone asked him on there if he had a real source or if it was all made up, and he completely ducked the question.
So where's this supposed source with this information, or do they really even exist???

I wouldn't be surprised if any athlete was on them, the reward is worth the risk. Floyd is getting old and fighting off Father Time is not easy, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he did it makes perfect sense in that regard. It is still wrong.
I don't think USADA would cover for him though or do his bidding, he might be playing a game on them but considering how they handled Lance and others that is a very risky game.

They basically say Floyd failed 3 tests and then the USADA went to lengths to cover up, and they have absolutely no source to confirm this.

Seriously where is the source???
Hauser wrote in the article, which is the same stuff Montoya said months ago, that Floyd failed three of his A samples, and the USADA didn't test his B sample, and they covered it up.
They say it like it's fact, but ABSOLUTELY NO SOURCE is mentioned or anything. Yeah real legit......
Nevermind that the USADA released his test results for all 3 fights.....

Seattle Seahawk's wide receiver Sidney Rice has retired at the young age of 27. The decision is apparently based on his history with injuries, specifically with concussions during the 2013 season. A torn ACL caused him to miss eight games in the regular season and the playoffs.
Rice signed with the hawks in 2011 after four seasons in Minnesota, but was never able to match the production he had with the Vikings. Rice was cut by the team at the conclusion of the 2013 season, but was re-signed to a one-year, one-million dollar deal after being medically cleared to play. He had 15 catches for 231 yards and three touchdowns in what would be his last season a year ago.

Turning of The Tide: How One Game Changed The Southby Don Yaeger Sam Cunningham John Papadakis
The first integrated football game in Alabama was played on Crimson soil in September 1970, and the two teams that met represented two distinct faces of college football: legendary Alabama coach Bear Bryant's Tide was the all-white national powerhouse in the SEC; and the USC Trojans, coached by John McKay, featured an all-black starting backfield that reflected the social changes that were sweeping the nation. Bestselling author Don Yaeger, teamed with USC fullback Sam Cunningham and defensive captain John Papadakis, tells for the first time the complete story of what transpired during this historic game.

Jorge Linares is Open To Facing Erik Morales Next
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Jorge Linares (31-1, 20 KOs) is focused on Saturday's big fight, but he would love to face WBC junior welterweight champion Erik Morales in 2012. Linares takes on Antonio DeMarco (25-2, 18 KOs) for the vacant WBC lightweight title on Saturday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The main event will feature Bernard Hopkins defending his WBC light heavyweight title against Chad Dawson.
Morales returns on December 10th in Mexico. He plans to drop down in weight in 2012, with his mind focused on capturing a fifth world title in a fifth weight division. Morales already approached WBC President Jose Sulaiman to get his approval for a fight against the Linares-DeMarco winner.
"Of course I want that fight. Morales is a good champion but first I have to win this fight right here [with DeMarco]," Linares said.

I'll give you a hint:
SIDENOTE: My niece seriously wants you to guess when she says "Guess what?!" or "Guess who I saw?!" It's adorable.
We hatched this plan last night after we (disappointingly) did our taxes and came out in the red. The idea is, we could really use a time period of not spending as much as we want. And, since I'm all commitment-shy and whatnot, the shortest month of the year seemed like a good idea.

How often should a restaurant get five stars when you're denied a table?
Well, let me tell you our story.
Me and my three colleagues from the US just got out of an all-day meeting, only to find out that it was raining, and none of us had umbrellas. Thus we Yelp'd nearby restaurants, and found the Chancery, a 4.5 star restaurant, nearby. When we got there, it was clear that they were hosting...more
I really enjoyed my dinner experience here at The Chancery. I had already made reservations for a different day, but due to my fickle guests ended up moving that reservation on three separate occasions. The hostess was an absolute star and accommodated my changes without any hesitations.
The food is great - especially for the price! I enjoyed everything here from their wine selection to their...more
Great experience, the higlight of our stay here in London. Good service and great food. The tuna starter was the best entree I ever had. Some of the components was not really for me, like the crumbs with the chicken but besides that the dishes were well composed. The wine we had recommended went well with the food. Our waitress was nice but was a little too fast to send out the next course. I...more
Posh restaurant close to Lincolns Inn Fields. Went for a work 'group dinner' with a fixed menu that included an appetizer (I chose the mackerel), a main (I chose the beef) and a dessert (I chose the pistachio cake).
Service was attentive, fast and efficient. Food was well presented and tasty, but portion sizes were rather meager.

Great place for a quiet dinner. The decor is very neutral professional - the perfect place for a business lunch. But works for dinner as well. Speaking of which, dinner and weekends are half price for the £35 three course menu, although be prepared for the 12.5% service charge to be on the full price and not the half price food.
The food itself is creative and beautifully presented, and...more

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Jordan accused Israel of fostering recent violence on the Temple Mount, calling Israel's response to violence "an extreme insult to bilateral relations."
It's not the first time that has happened.
Israel Police have donned riot gear several times in the past few weeks to disperse rock-throwing Arab mobs on the Temple Mount.
The Hashemite Kingdom's foreign ministry summoned Israeli Ambassador Daniel Nevo to its offices in Amman, saying Israel's response to the riots violated the peace treaty between Jordan and Israel and it "holds Israel responsible for the escalation in the security situation."
During the Jordanian occupation of Judea, Samaria and east Jerusalem from 1948 to 1967, Israeli Jews were not allowed to ascend the Temple Mount or pray at the Western Wall below, the last remaining vestige of the Jewish Temple built by King Herod.
When Jerusalem came back under Jewish sovereignty following the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel cleaned up the Western Wall Plaza. Hundreds of thousands of Jews who had been deprived of praying at Judaism's holiest site flocked there to pray.
Israel decided to allow the Wakf, Muslim religious authorities, to oversee the day-to-day activities there, while Israel retained responsibility for security. Some question the wisdom in that decision.
Today, only Muslims are allowed to pray on the Temple Mount, while Jews and Christians are forbidden even to pray silently there.

Rated 5 out of 5�by bvillejeff Excellent putter! The putters I used in the past were solid face and I wanted to try one with a insert. I was looking at Odyssey and Ping putters and then checked out the Top Flite 2.0 with the molded face insert and figured for the money to give it a try. Love the feel of this putter. At impact the ball seems to have a better accurate roll then what I've been used to. The Winn grip is easy to hold and the 2.0 Mallet is just the right head size for me. After two rounds of golf and some time on the practice green I'm very happy with the 2.0. April 19, 2015

Morgan 'more responsive' after surgery
TRENTON, N.J. -- Tracy Morgan was recovering Sunday, but was expected to remain hospitalized for several weeks after having surgery on a broken leg suffered in a deadly chain-reaction crash on the New Jersey Turnpike that left two others critically injured and another man dead.
The 45-year-old actor and comedian, a former "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" cast member, remained in critical condition but was "more responsive" Sunday after having surgery for a broken leg, said spokesman Lewis Kay.
Kay said that Morgan, who was airlifted to the hospital, also sustained a broken femur, broken nose and several broken ribs and is expected to remain hospitalized for "several weeks."
