In case you don't yet feel it, emotional intelligence—the ability regulate emotions in one's self and identify emotions in others—is a predictor of workplace success, both for employees and managers.
Over at Black Enterprise, Amanda A. Ebokosia notes that high emotional intelligence—a topic we've been on for 13 years—leads to higher job satisfaction, better decision-making, and more ready goal-completion for employees, while managers lacking emotional intelligence have difficulty with social interactions and nurturing professional relationships.
"Emotions do matter," Ebokosia writes, citing a pair of studies. "Dismissing them entirely can be detrimental to the workplace, hindering healthy interpersonal interactions and their positive outcomes."
Emotional rescue
The first study, a meta-analysis, combines a range of research. In aggregate, emotional intelligence is linked with job performance, since "in almost all work settings, individuals have to cooperate with others and do at least some group work tasks," so emotional intelligence, with its 360-understandingness, gives you a sense of what a social situation needs—and how to correspondingly act.
The second study, the adorably named "Feeling the Future: The Emotional Oracle Effect," gets into gut feelings. In language familiar to Malcolm Gladwell fans, io9 recaps a gut feeling as "an intuitive summary of all our accumulated knowledge on a topic," one that is "apparently better than what we could come up with if we tried to consciously synthesize this information." But note: Your gut is an oracle only if you have prior understanding of the given domain.
Taken together, emotional intelligence—and its associated intuitions—may be helpful for leaders, teams, and companies looking to grow (and create). Drawing from Daniel Goleman's landmark Emotional Intelligence, Ebokosia describes its five factors of Emotional Intellgience as such:
- Empathy: The ability to shift perspectives and gain a better understanding of others, or, in fancy-pants language, "inter-subjectivize."
- Motivation: The driving force(s) of your actions. Your compass, north star, wayfinding. Your interior cartographic prowess.
- Self-regulation: Being able to deal with your own emotions before they deal with you. Linked with delaying gratification and not eating the marshmallow.
- Social skills: Knowing what to say in order to engage your team—and knowing how not to offend them.
- Self awareness: Understanding your own emotions improves your interactions, since getting intimate with your feelings lets you better understand how they affect others.
So how to limber up your emotional intelligence? A little foible-self-transparency might be a first step.

Over 311 species of birds have been documented in Yellowstone since it was first established in 1872. However, "contrary to popular belief, Yellowstone National Park is not one of the hotspots in North America for watching a great diversity of birdlife. What it does offer is an array of birds unique to this area of North America.
Some of the Park's best birding can be found by driving from West Thumb, on Yellowstone Lake, east and north to Tower and west to Mammoth Hot Springs. As you skirt Yellowstone Lake to Fishing Bridge, stop where you can to scan for common Loon, American White crested Cormorant, Trumpeter Swan, Barrow's Golden eye, California Gull as well as Osprey and Bald Eagle.

Wise Dan flaunts his superiority in Shadwell Turf Mile
As Silver Max went to the early lead through an opening quarter in :23 1/5, Wise Dan galloped in a ground-saving spot in midpack. But once the field straightened up down the backstretch, Wise Dan was starting to drag Lezcano forward. He advanced all on his own, with Lezcano carefully steering him into the clear on the outside. By the time Silver Max got the half in :46 4/5, Wise Dan was well within striking range, and ready to pounce.
The pace-prompting Dominus was the first to accost Silver Max on the far turn, but Wise Dan was gathering momentum with every stride. Dominus briefly took over from a weakening Silver Max, only to be summarily brushed aside by Wise Dan.
"Yes, (Wise Dan) is getting better," Lopresti said afterward, in a scary thought for his competition. "He gained weight from the Woodbine Mile. I worked him one time here, and he just worked incredible here one morning. I told Mr. Fink, 'We just got to run him again. I don't want to breeze him too many more times.' I was worried. There were a lot of horses in here. Coming back off shipping to Woodbine and all, I was a little concerned. But I knew I was doing the right thing. The horse was good, and he showed up today.
"(Lezcano) told me he was really relaxed today," the trainer added. "(Lezcano) talked to Johnny Velazquez about it, and Johnny gave him all the instructions -- how to warm him up and everything about him -- and he rode him to the 'T.' "
The only suspense involved the minor awards, and longshots predominated. The 48-1 longshot Willcox Inn rallied to reduce the winner's margin to 2 1/4 lengths late. The 100-1 Slip and Drive checked in third, another 2 3/4 lengths adrift. Doubles Partner got up for fourth at 11-1. Data Link, the the 7-1 second choice, was along belatedly for fifth. Dominus faded to sixth, and Corporate Jungle, Swift Warrior, Silver Max, Skyring, Worthadd and Ol Army rounded out the order of finish.
Runner-up Willcox Inn ran himself into Breeders' Cup Mile consideration.
"I couldn't go with (Wise Dan) on that first turn," jockey James Graham said of his trip aboard Willcox Inn. "In the middle of the second turn I said to myself, 'We are going to be fifth.' Then I picked him up and boom, off he went. If we had been a little closer to the winner, I don't think we would have beaten him but we would have been closer to him at the finish.
"That horse (Wise Dan) is incredible. My horse is just coming into himself. He has a very quick turn of foot. I think you would have to take a hard look at the Breeders' Cup for him. Not only did he run great, he was coming hard at the end."
"We were very pleased with the way he came home," Willcox Inn's trainer Mike Stidham said. "He was really running at the end. He was making up a little ground on the winner at the end. We were very pleased with the way that he finished. We thought for awhile that the mile (distance) would suit him better and it did."
Unraced as a juvenile, Wise Dan showed ability when winning four of six starts at three. During that 2010 campaign, he captured his stakes debut in the Grade 3 Phoenix Stakes at Keeneland and finished a creditable sixth, beaten just 2 1/2 lengths, in the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
"We'll lean toward the Mile," Lopresti said, "but we won't rule out the Classic. Listening to everybody talk, I think he deserves to run in the Classic. I just watch those races at Santa Anita. Maybe that track's a little bit loose. It doesn't seem like it was as tight as it was -- just to me, anyway.
"If you watch him in the Stephen Foster, his action wasn't the best. In the Clark, (the track) had a lot of moisture and it was tighter.
"If you watch him the Stephen Foster, that track was kind of loose that night and he wasn't getting a hold of it. He just wasn't on the bridle but he still ran a good race. Then when I got him to Saratoga, he didn't train that great on the dirt, but he got better the more he was there.
"I'm a little worried about Santa Anita. It's the same kind of speed-oriented track, but it's a little deeper and looser. I don't know if he'll handle that. I know he'll handle the turf. We'll talk about it. We've got some options anyway."
The Kentucky-bred is by Wiseman's Ferry and out of the winning Wolf Power mare Lisa Danielle. He is a half-brother to multiple Grade 2 victor Successful Dan, who set a new Churchill track record when taking the Grade 2 Alysheba on May 4. Another half-sibling, stakes winner Our Royal Dancer, is herself the dam of Argentinean Group 2-placed Bailando Voy.
Lisa Danielle is in turn a half-sister to Grade 1-placed Carsona, who has produced Grade 2 victor Siphon City. This is the family of German Group 1-winning highweight Scalo, who finished fourth in the Grade 1 Northern Dancer Turf last time out at Woodbine, and further back, French champion, classic winner and noted sire *Val de Loir as well as dual classic heroine and Irish champion *Valoris II.

What is in this article?:
- John Vollmer farms in big way on small acreage
- More profitable approach
- Grows own vegetable transplants
- Limited in what can be used
• John Vollmer, along with his wife , Betty and son Russ, operate Vollmer Farm in Bunn, N.C.
• Though he has been in agriculture all his adult life, John Vollmer's venture into organic farming is an ongoing 30-plus year process.
More About:
BUNN, N.C., farmer John Vollmer discusses his experiences with organic farming.
Coming over from the dark side may be a bit of a dramatization as to how North Carolina grower John Vollmer got into organic farming, but he did move from selling agricultural chemicals to growing crops without them, and is in the process of rewriting the book on sustainable, profitable small family farming.
Vollmer, along with his wife , Betty and son Russ, operate Vollmer Farm in Bunn, N.C. Though he has been in agriculture all his adult life, his venture into organic farming is an ongoing 30-plus year process, he says.
While a student at North Carolina State University, Vollmer got a part-time job with Phil Upchurch in the Weed Control Lab. Another pioneer in the science of chemical weed control, Harold Coble, was a graduate student and close friend of Vollmer.
From his work with weed control, he got a job after graduation with Elanco Products Company, and worked his way up the corporate ladder. Then, he says he got homesick and returned home to North Carolina to farm and be a dealer and a custom applicator.
For a decade, he ran a thriving business, serving at one time more than 250 farmers in a small area around Bunn, where he now lives and farms.
Within 20 years there remained less than a dozen or so farmers in the same geographic area.
The amount of farmland remained fairly much the same, but the number of farmers was dramatically less. This scenario spelled the end for small, independent dealers, and by the early 1990s Vollmer saw the writing on the wall for his business, and he began to look at his options for making a living farming.
By the time he got out of the agrichemical business, the Environmental Protection Agency and other environmental groups were beginning to take a closer look than ever before into the impact of chemicals on the environment.
"We weren't blind to the negative impact some of these chemicals could have on the land. In ditches where we cleaned spray tanks and dumped chemical residue, nothing would grow there. However, in a short period of time, those areas recovered. I learned a valuable lesson from that aspect of our business— that if we do what we should do to grow crops, the land will take care of itself," Vollmer says.
"I'm not an organic purist, because I do see the value of agriculture chemicals. At the same time, there is often a different way to be successful in farming without using chemicals or choosing products that have the least impact on the environment.

I think these two races are going to tell us the most about where the program is. Fast tracks with some banking to them, where the bulk of the schedule is. If Tony and/or Ryan can run well, easy to be optimistic about the future. The runs Sunday makes Indianapolis look promising if the 48 team decides to take that weekend off (otherwise it'll look a lot like yesterday) but Michigan and Kentucky are going to be the great gauges for the rest of the year. I'd pretty much throw Loudon in there as well, given remaining races there, at Richmond, and Phoenix.

One of my greatest cooking challenges is the simple weeknight dinner. I know that sounds silly. Because how hard could that really be? Don't we all have our go to meals that we fall back on Monday through Thursday?
Spaghetti and meatballs. Roast chicken and potatoes. Macaroni and cheese. And I could go on and on with meals that most likely grace all of our tables.
But here's the thing, I get bored easily. I can't eat the same meals week after week. Unfortunately I've created four mini-mes that share the same issue. So I'm constantly on the quest for easy to make weeknight meals that don't take a ton of time to prepare but still keep things interesting.
And what I've found is that the recipes don't have to be some kind of culinary masterpiece to keep things from getting monotonous. Even a change of form is enough to perk up mealtime. Like this dish, Creamy Pesto Chicken Spirals. I can't tell you how many times I've made some variation of chicken with pesto. I also make lasagna on a regular basis which also gets boring quickly.
However, when I marry the two recipes together with a couple of tweaks, I have a rich and satisfying dish that gets the kids eating instead of complaining.
We start with the humble chicken breast. I avoid skinless boneless chicken like the plague because it's dry and flavorless in comparison to the bone in breast. It's also usually much less expensive.
And then we whip up a batch of pesto. Pesto takes no time to make and adds so much incredible flavor to the dish. It's really flexible too. Some people can't eat pine nuts (pignoli). If that's your case, just substitute with sunflower seeds. It really doesn't make a difference. Or you can skip seeds/nuts altogether. There are no hard rules with pesto.
After shredding the chicken you toss it into a bowl with some of the freshly made pesto and shredded mozzarella cheese. Usually I'd tell you to shred a block of mozzarella because it really does taste better than the bagged pre-shredded variety. But to be honest with you, when it's being mixed together and baked in a cheesy pasta sauce, I don't think it makes a dang bit of difference. Who wants complicated on a weeknight? Not me.
Once the pesto chicken filling is rolled up in cooked lasagna noodles, it's placed in a baker and smothered with a super simple to make creamy pesto cheese sauce. I know this sounds like a lot of steps, but none of the steps are difficult or time consuming.
Heck, you could make this ahead of time and freeze it if you like. Just make sure you let your baker come to room temp before popping it into the oven. Otherwise you will spend the rest of your evening on a date night with Easy-Off Oven Cleaner.
So there you have it. Something different to make for dinner this week. I'd love to tell you that I'm constantly coming up with exciting meals for my family every day of the week. But the truth is, I'm just like you. Sometimes winning at dinnertime and sometimes not so much.
My goal for A Beautiful Bite in 2014 is to come up with more weeknight meals that are interesting, easy to make and worth serving to your family. I'd also like to win the lottery, develop washboard abs and be the catalyst for world peace. So we'll see how that all shakes out. But for today, let's start with this one dinnertime idea.
- 3 cups packed fresh basil leaves
- 4 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup pine nuts or sunflower seeds (or skip if you'd like)
- 1 cup olive oil
- pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¾ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 stick of butter
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 2½ cups milk
- 2 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 8oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ⅓ cup pesto
- 1 lb lasagna noodles cooked al dente
- 6 cups cooked chicken meat, shredded (I used white meat, but dark is fine too)
- 1 cup pesto plus ⅓ cup reserved for sauce
- 1 lb mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
- Preheat oven to 350º.
- For the pesto, place all ingredients except cheese into a food processor and process until smooth. Stir in the parmesan cheese.
- For the cheese sauce, place butter in 2qt heavy pot and heat over medium-high heat. After it's melted, add the flour. Stir constantly until mixture turns golden, about four to five minutes. Add milk, cheeses and ⅓ cup pesto. Cook until slightly thickened, another four to five minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together the chicken, pesto and 8oz of shredded mozzarella. Mix well to thoroughly coat. Spread an even layer of this mixture over a cooked lasagna noodle and roll up.
- Place rolls into a greased 9x13 baker. Pour cheese sauce over top. Feel free to sprinkle extra parmesan cheese over top if you like. Bake in a 350º oven for thirty minutes or until golden and bubbly.

When being hauled from the house, Mistycorn was recorded as saying "stupid, stupid, stupid! Easiest gig in the world! Just don't frag the birthday girl! I knew which one was the birthday girl! I knew". Mistycorn will appear before the judge on Monday."
My Little Pony – Fragging is Magic.
Baron Mistycorn is so naive.
We need a like button, Three Steps Over Japan, that's hilarious!
I'm presumming that frag, in this case, means killing her character on the multiplayer video game.
It's supposed to, but with this bunch it's better to confirm the terminology before hiring him.
So, Mistycorn's idea of working birthday parties would be to set up a bunch of networked X-Boxes and playing "Black-Ops" with the girls for 2-3 hours?
That's what it seems like. Other possibilities involve shooting her in a paintball/squirt gun fight or something that little girls aren't physically mature enough to get involved in.

Solaris 11.2 Networking Overview: Application-Driven SDN and Beyond
By ndroux on Apr 29, 2014
Today we are excited to announce Solaris 11.2 (Solaris 11.2 Beta available here). This release introduces significant improvements to the Solaris networking stack, substantially expanding its built-in network virtualization and SLA features to provide a distributed virtual network infrastructure for your private cloud, and enabling application-driven SLAs. Together, these features are the foundation of the built-in Application-driven Software-Defined Networking (SDN) capabilities of Solaris 11.2.
As the Chief Architect for Solaris Core Networking, I am pleased to introduce this significant set of exciting new features and their benefits.
- Elastic Virtual Switch (EVS): provides a built-in distributed virtual network infrastructure that can be used to deploy virtual switches across a collection of machines. EVS provides centralized management and observability for ease of use, and for the monitoring of resources across all the nodes in a single view. Control is performed through easy to use administration tools or OpenStack.
EVS currently supports VXLAN and VLAN for maximum flexibility, and for easily integrating in your existing environment. Our architecture is fabric-independent, and can be extended in the future to support additional types of network fabrics. EVS manages network configuration across the compute nodes and the network for you automatically, and dynamically adapts to the location of your workload.
EVS is tightly integrated with the newly introduced Solaris kernel zones as well as native zones, allowing a zone's VNIC to easily connect to an elastic virtual switch.
- OpenStack Neutron Networking: Solaris 11.2 includes a full distribution of OpenStack, taking advantage of the stability, performance, and security of Solaris. For networking, Solaris 11.2 includes an OpenStack Neutron plugin layered on top of EVS. This plugin allows you to leverage the new Solaris distributed virtual networking capabilities from OpenStack transparently.
- VXLAN: Extended VLANs allowing virtual segments to be layered on top of generic IP networks. VXLANs provide greater flexibility than VLANs which typically require switch configuration and limited to 4096 VLAN instances.
- Datalink Multipathing Probing: DLMP was introduced in Solaris 11.1 to combine the benefits of link aggregation and IPMP. For instance, DLMP like IPMP does not require configuration of the switches, can implement failover between multiple switches without relying on switch vendor proprietary extensions. DLMP is implemented as a new mode of the link aggregation Solaris feature, which allows it to be easily combined with our network virtualization features, providing highly available VNICs to VMs and zones.
Solaris 11.2 adds probe-based failure detection to DLMP, allowing the use of layer-3 IP probes to one or more target nodes on the network. IP address consumption is reduced through transitive probing between the members of a DLMP aggregation.
- High-Priority Hardware-assisted Flows: This new feature extends the set of SLAs supported by Solaris to allow flows to be associated with a high or normal traffic priority. Packets belonging to flows with a high priority are processed more quickly through the network stack through dedicated kernel resources. When possible, high priority flows are segregated between multiple hardware rings in the NIC. The interrupt throttling settings of the underlying NIC are also dynamically adjusted if possible.
- Application-Driven SLAs: In order to enable true application-driven SLAs, Solaris 11.2 provides new APIs allowing applications like Oracle RAC or JVMs to dynamically associate SLAs (bandwidth limit or priority) with a network sockets. Processing critical network traffic such as heartbeats at a higher priority improves system uptime, and bandwidth capping allow fine control of the bandwidth usage for better performance and isolation between different types of network traffic. Flows are dynamically created according to the configured SLAs, and they can be monitored with flowstat(1M).
- NUMA IO performance improvements for latency-sensitive workloads: The NUMA IO framework, which we introduced in Solaris 11 to improve Solaris performance and allow it to scale on large machines such as the SPARC M5-32, was updated with this release to avoid latency spikes on loaded systems. Instead of binding kernel IO threads to specific CPUs, they are now bound to a subset of CPUs, allowing the NUMA IO locality optimizations to be preserved, while letting the dispatcher pick the best available CPU according to the current load. This reduces the risk for latency spikes on a loaded system, and also leads to a better distribution of IO-related CPU processing. These new bindings are pool optimized, meaning that the IO processing for a zone with its dedicated set of CPUs will be executed on the CPUs belonging to that zone for best isolation.
- Network Monitoring: Network monitors are new in Solaris 11.2. They continuously monitor the network state and the system configuration for problems such as misconfiguration on the host or network. This allows common problems such as mismatching VLAN settings between switch and host, or misconfigured MTUs to be detected and reported early, minimizing down time.
- Reflective Relay: One of the common use cases of virtualization is consolidation, where multiple physical machines are consolidated on a single server and run in virtual machines or zones. The Solaris build-in network virtualization provides a virtual software datapath between these VMs/zones. In some cases, the policies of the environment being consolidated requires the traffic to go through a centralized server for traffic isolation, accounting, etc. The Reflective Relay feature allows the software virtual switched to be bypassed, and all packets to be sent on the physical network infrastructure.
- Precision Time Protocol: PTP enables the synchronization between hosts. By optionally leveraging hardware-assisted timestamping, PTP can achieve synchronization that is more precise than NTP.
- SR-IOV VNICs: Single-Root IO Virtualization, or SR-IOV, virtualizes IO devices to allow direct access to hardware from virtual machines, avoiding costly hypervisor overhead. SR-IOV VNICs encapsulate SR-IOV virtual functions within VNICs, allowing SR-IOV to be managed and monitored as any a regular VNIC. Even when a SR-IOV virtual function is mapped into a guest for direct access, the corresponding VNIC remains present in the host operating system to allow for the control of the virtual function.
As you can see, Solaris 11.2 provides you with a significant set of new networking features and benefits, whether integrated within your existing infrastructure, or as the foundation of your next generation private cloud. The Solaris 11.2 Beta is now available for download; we are looking forward to your feedback!

Boom NoodleAfter a nice run with my sister today, we headed over to Boom Noodle to try it out. She was wanting Pho (which Boom does not have) and I wasn't in the mood for it, so I suggested Thai food (which Boom does not have) and she agreed, but I wasn't truly in the mood for that either. That is when Boom popped into my head. I looked up the menu while she was in the shower and it looked to be just the ticket. They had a salad or two I could choose from and a selection of warm and cold noodle bowls she could select from, so it seemed the perfect compromise. We headed over to Capital Hill a bit after 1pm and slid ourselves into the seats at the end of one of the long communal tables. There is a big part of me that finds Boom ironic. Or maybe I find it more an imitation (and hopefully a good one) of a place I frequented when I lived in London called Wagamama. Everything about Boom from the restaurant decoration, to the language about the restaurant seemed to ping of Wagamama influence. And that is not a bad thing, imitation is a sincere form of flattery.
While we were seated and greeted by our waiter, that is where the expeditiousness ended. My sister and I were very hungry and considering the very empty restaurant, you would expect speedy service, but my sister and I were nearly passed out with hunger by the waiter came back round to even offer us a drink (I mean more than 10 minutes without a single visit). We ordered our food and drinks quickly with him and looked forward to our lunch.
We started with a side of green beans with natural sea salt. They had a tax day special which included 15% off the entire bill and a special on Sapporo. My sister grabbed one and I tucked into a cucumber mint fizz (which is a very refreshing and crisp virgin drink). My sister ordered the Tokyo Ramen and I ordered the Baby Mizuna Salad. I asked the waiter to hold the lima beans, since according to the menu there were lima beans in the salad. The waiter curtly said, "there aren't lima beans in the salad. They are cannellini beans." Really? As someone who is allergic to lima beans, I notice when there are lima beans included in things. I grabbed the menu and pointed it out and said, "if it is cannellini beans, that is fine, but not lima beans". My sisters soup came pretty quickly, but my salad took another 5 minutes. Once it arrived, I was kind of confused as to what would take it longer than my sister's soup, but I was too hungry at that point to care. Ultimately, my salad came without any beans and frankly I didn't miss them. The salad had roasted kabocha squash, grilled chicken, bell peppers and shiso yuzu dressing, topped with crisp taro chips. It was lightly dressed and very fresh. I had to beat my sisters chopsticks away from sneaking bites with, well, a stick, it was so delicious. My sister's soup really hit the spot: braised pork, tamago & bamboo shoots, soy seasoned chicken-pork broth. All in all, good food, not profound and service seriously leaving something to be desired. My sister remarked that she wouldn't go out of her way to come back and I agree. It is not a new go to spot for me, but would be somewhere I would go if I was already in the area and hungry (and possibly willing to wait, though the cocktails may make it worth it).
I saw HomeGrown coming to life over numerous runs past the location and when my sister and I were looking for a lunch spot last Friday, I remembered that I had been keen to try it. I was hankering for my usual lunch salad and was interested in trying out a restaurant that seemingly was perfectly in line with the way I eat (local, organic, sustainable). My sister was down and we made a bee-line for Fremont to try it out. It was just a bit before the lunch hour rush (before noon) and was a bit busy but not yet slammed. The menu was very extensive, written on large blackboards on the wall and included a checklist of the meat offerings, showing which were local, organic and sustainable. They had both hot and cold sandwiches, salads, soups and sides (including delicious sounding vegetable fires-parsnips and turnips). They have half soup, half salad, half sandwich combinations. My sister opted for a half BLAT and half soup. I opted for a full-sized chicken thigh salad with cranberries and avocado (which was an addition). They had Kombucha, which of course made me happy. Our food came quickly, despite it being busy and this being a relatively new operation.
My sister really enjoyed her sandwich. It was very flavorful, the bread not too crisp and all the ingredients tasted as better quality ingredients do: more flavorful and delicious. Her soup will very flavorful, was the consistency of baby food. It was essentially a puree instead of a soup, which is fine if that is what you are into but doesn't compliment a hearty sandwich the same way. My salad (below) was exactly what I was hoping for, except it seemed kind of small for a full size salad. It seemed more like a side salad to me and was definitely still hungry after eating it. The dressing (which I got on the side) was a very simple lemoney vinaigrette. It had been really hard for us to decide what we wanted as so many items on the menu seemed intriguing and mouth watering. After trying some selections and enjoying the fresh, local, organic and hugely flavorful ingredients, both my sister and I were keen to try more. As we got up to leave and were bussing our table, I glanced over the counter to where they were preparing the food and saw, to my relief, a prep cook making a full size salad. I exclaimed to my sister, who was as baffled as I that anyone would think that portion of salad was a full size (its a salad for goodness sake), "look that wasn't a full sized salad". She peered over the counter and we saw a good sized bowl being prepared for someone's order. The guys at the counter overheard me and asked what I was talking about and I explained that they accidentally gave me a half salad when we had paid for a full. They immediately packed me up another half salad to go and really, it was a minor oversight. I was more pleased to see that the portion was actually good-sized than to worry about a minor misstep so early after they opened. I will definitely go back.
So two lunches, two different experiences, both worth while and satisfying!

Anonymous review posted on
Attorney Kope and his team are highly skilled professionals who go the extra mile for their clients. While nobody can promise results, it's clear that Attorney Kope lives up to his promise of working for the best possible outcome for each of his clients, and I think this personal attention is what sets Attorney Kope and his firm apart from the rest.
Posted by Margot
The best representation I could have asked for.: I was facing what I thought was a hopeless situation after I was arrested early this year. I hired Mr. Kope as my attorney after he was recommended to me by some friends. I walked away with barely a fine. He saved my career and life. HIRE HIM!!!

Guilt of Cheating
How to get over the guilt of Cheating - How to get over guilt after cheating - Forgiving Yourself After Cheating
Getting over the guilt of Cheating - Forgiving Yourself...
Since you are already feeling remorseful after cheating... This could be a sign that you really feel sorry about hurting your partner or breaking your vows, yet it could also be just a temporary feeling, that is until the next bout of your cheating episode grips you again...
This article is not about analyzing your faults or telling you whether what you did was good or bad. Because good or bad is a relative condition... Yet, if you really want to get over the feeling of remorse or the guilt of cheating, and be done with cheating itself, you need to go and resolve it at the deepest cellular levels of your self. First understand that your need to cheat may be caused by some inner emotional issues picked up quite unintentionally at a very young age. To give you an insight, here is an article you may also want to read: Cheating is Just a Symptom.
However, if you think that...
Well then here are a few strategies to help you get over the guilt of cheating on your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or partner...
1. First understand that you made a mistake or an 'error of judgment'. Anyone can make a mistake. Though it is regrettable yet, there is always a positive side of everything - for instance it has told you where your heart truly lies - Definitely not in the cheating. You are now sure where and with whom you want to be. You want to be on the right side of your relationship.
2. Next forgive yourself for making this stupid error of judgment. Yes, even before you expect your partner to forgive you, you need to forgive yourself. You may repeat the following affirmation out slowly so that only you can hear it :
"Even though I made this mistake, I now deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself"
or make it even shorter and just affirm: " I now deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself".
Repeat it as often as possible, until you can truly feel the relief of forgiveness.
3. To make sure that you release all guilt and truly forgive yourself, Here is an outline of emotional freedom tapping. You could do it while looking into a mirror any time of the day or anytime you are feeling strongly guilty for cheating. Just follow along the tapping as below:
a. Tap lightly with the four fingers of your right hand on the side / edge of your left hand just below the pinky finger (also known as the karate Chop Point) and repeat the statement: "Even though I Cheated on my partner, I now deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself" - Repeat the tapping and statement 3 times. This is known as the set up tapping or phrase.
b. Continue Tapping with your two fingers (fore and middle fingers) , using the phrase: "This cheating on my partner", Three times on each of the following points:
( at each of the above points, you are to tap three times while repeating the phrase 'this cheating on my partner')
c. Repeat the above round of tapings, using the same setup phrase "Even though I cheated on my partner, I deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself", Then continue tapping on the other points with the following statements:
As you continue tapping using the above statements, you will notice your guilt feelings gradually diminishing. You may also notice other feelings coming up, you may continue tapping them away. [For further information about releasing your emotions using tapping you may visit Gary Craig's website at www.emofree.com .] PS: You will have to repeat the above process for 30 days or more until you feel totally free of all unwanted feelings of guilt, etc.
4. Since you now know exactly where you want to be. You can start working towards strengthening your relationship with your partner. Start romancing him or her all over again and make sure they know how sorry you are and how much you love him or her... and how much you want to make this work out.
5. How to Get Over Guilt - If you are really serious and bent upon getting over all guilt and other detrimental emotions or behaviors you may check out the following self hypnosis / self help they are powerful:

The first wave of American slashers began quite distinctly in 1979, when Friday the 13th was released, spawning dozens upon dozens of imitators; it peaked around 1983 and should have been dead by the end of 1984. However, then as now, there was an unaccountable amount of money to be made from a very small investment in stage blood and terrible actors, and so the damn things just kept coming and coming.
None can make the definitive argument for when this first wave ended; obviously before 1996, when Scream ignited the second wave, but how long before? I would argue in favor of the relative elegance of picking 1989, for the reason that it was the year in which the three greatest slasher franchises released the film that, in some way or another, killed that series financially. After 1989, not even the fanboys could be arsed to pretend that the movies were worth seeing.
Halloween 5 turned a profit, but not nearly enough (it barely doubled the $5 million budget), and the next entry would not come out for all of six years. A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child was met with screaming derision (although it made money), and rather than try to fix the series, the producers simple declared that the next film would be the last. We could perhaps even count Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, which was originally planned for a 1989 release before getting dropped in January; its profit, after marketing, could be measured in six digits, and the next film, five years later, was a massive restart on the series continuity that was an immediate failure.
The splashiest disaster of these films, of course (for what film am I reviewing, after all?) was the notorious Friday the 13th, Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, the most expensive slasher film ever made by some counts, and the worst-performing film in the series even as of this writing (not adjusted for inflation). So dire was the film's box-office fate, and so loud the fan hatred, that it forced Paramount to take the rather extreme step of selling the entire franchise, rather than continue its association with such a sinkhole.
It's a sad thing: prior to beginning this summer project, Jason Takes Manhattan was the only Friday the 13th film I'd ever seen, and I was convinced, both from the words of others and the experience of my own eyes, that it had to be the series nadir. No way a franchise that has so far produced ten entries could possibly survive a film even worse than this one, right?
Unfortunately not. Now that I am wiser, sadder and more scarred, I know the bitter truth: Jason Takes Manhattan in all its excruciating mediocrity, is right in the middle of the series in terms of quality. I think we could break the existing seven films into two camps: the first, Part 2, The Final Chapter and The New Blood all do something at least a little bit interesting, and are all somewhat watchable (though The Final Chapter tries hard not to be). Meanwhile, Part 3, A New Beginning and Jason Lives are punishing exercises in audience abuse, stupid in those rare moments that they are not dangerously stupid. Jason Takes Manhattan is in a third category: it is quite awful, but nothing will rot your brain with its insipidity. It is the first flat-out boring Friday the 13th movie.
Are we surprised? Well we shouldn't be. By the fourth film, there was not one single idea left to throw at the formula, and the subsequent three entries were increasingly baroque attempts to twist that formula into something remotely interesting. So when we get to 1989 - as I argued up top, the final year of the Slasher Era - there's nothing but flop sweat and a title that wears its desperation like a scarlet letter. Sure, Part VIII changes the formula: and it leaves behind an inscrutable narrative that pukes its way across an unforgivably long 100 minutes.
Jason won't start taking Manhattan for a hell of a long time, but the film teases us some with some random shots of New York scored with a truly evil bit of synthpop (the music in general will be pretty bad; Fred Mollin even screws up the "ch-ch-ch-ha-ha-ha" motif). This ends and we find ourselves on a party boat on Crystal Lake, helmed by two very horny teens, Jim (Todd Shaffer) and Suzi (Tiffany Paulsen), listening to a New York radio station. For no reason at all, Jim is telling Suzi about Jason Voorhees, this version suggesting that Jason came back to life to avenge his mother's death, and he caps his story by jumping out at her with a fake knife and a hockey mask that just happens to have a notch in the forehead where Jason's mask always had a notch (from the axe wound in Part 3), and there's no reason for that, either. In the real world, Jim would probably get pushed overboard for this, but writer-director Rob Hedden decides instead that this just makes Suzi all the hotter for Jim's bod, and they hop in bed (giving us a glimpse of Paulsen's breast, in the only moment in this tedious film that could possibly be thought of as exploitation), right after Jim tosses the anchor overboard.
In addition to understanding nothing about women, Hedden understands nothing about seamanship, for we are treated to numerous shots of the anchor drifting across the lake bed, until it snags on an electrical cable which it drags over to the ruined pier from The New Blood, breaking the cable open and electrocuting Jason back to life. I'm sorry for the glut of italics there, but it's hard to stress how fucking stupid this is without them.
First Jason kills Jim (I mean, first he climbs on board, but I'm cutting to the chase) by harpooning him - yes, there is a spear gun on the party boat - and then showing the camera the spear which for some reason has beige rubber tubing dangling from it.
Apparently, this is all that remains of the film's show-stopping gore effect, in which Jim's intestines were to get slopped all over everything, but you know something? Armed with that knowledge, I rewatched the shot three or four times, and every single time I came up with the same thing: beige rubber tubes with a bit of red tempera paint.
Anyway, Jason kills Suzi in one of those "stalk the women, shock the men" dichotomies that makes the series so damn classy.
The next morning, we are in what appears to be a shipping port on Crystal Lake, which is apparently somewhere in size between Lakes Erie and Huron. The good ship Lazarus (Oh, Jesus), out of Panama - seriously? - is docking, and we meet Colleen Van Deusen (Barbara Bingham), a high school English teacher and Rennie (Jensen Daggett), who is such a Final Girl that it makes you hurt, both because of her androgynous name, and the wealth of tepid character details that get thrown at her all at once, including Colleen's gift of a pen that Stephen King allegedly used in high school. Yes, that Stephen King. No, I don't believe it either. Yes, complete bullshit. Anyway, I got a bit of a lesbian vibe off of Colleen, but I think that's only because I desperately wanted to film to be remotely interesting.
Up comes Charles McCulloch (Peter Mark Richman), Rennie's uncle, legal guardian, and principal. "I'm a dick-faced douchebag," he says when he gets out of the car, "you can't wait to see me die." I might be paraphrasing a little bit.
The Lazarus turns out to be a sort of cruise freighter, and it is the site of a graduation cruise from Crystal Lake to New York. We'll learn shortly that Crystal Lake, surrounded by beautiful 800 foot mountains, connects to the ocean via a river, and it's not at all clear whether this port is on the lake, the river, or the Atlantic, and it's even less clear what route they take to New York (it helps if Crystal Lake is in Maine, not New Jersey), it's not clear whose idea this cruise was, and it's clear least of all why you'd take a cruise on something that is so obviously a cargo ship. What is clear is that the party boat from earlier drifts up and Jason clambers on board. And that, at least, makes sense: Jason kills teens, and there are teens on the boat. QED.
The next forty minutes are the cinematic equivalent of that grinding noise a car makes when the starter is busted. We've got some 9 teens to keep track of, plus McCulloch and Van Deusen, three crew members, Rennie's dog Toby that looks exactly like the border collie/Labrador mix that I had growing up, and a random dude that I can't quite place. I shall list them by trait and manner of death:
-Rennie we have met, survives the boat, after seeing many visions of Child Jason
-Her kind-of boyfriend Sean (Scott Reeves) survives the boat
-The black kid Julius (V.C. Dupree) who is given a characterisation beyond being "the black kid if you can believe it, survives the boat
-J.J. (Saffron Henderson), a Joan Jett wannabe (get it?), smashed in the face with a guitar in rather unusual "Victim's POV" death (red goo splashed on the camera lens)
-Pointless jock who boxes with Julius (David Jacox), chest caved in with a sauna rock
-Tamara (Sharlene Martin), horrible coke-head rich bitch who has been constantly vicious towards Rennie, tries to sexually blackmail McCulloch, and in all ways hurts your soul by existing, stabbed with a broken mirror in the bathroom where we very much do not see her breasts
-Mr. Carlson (Fred Henderson), the only engineer, harpoon'd
-Admiral (!) Robertson (Warren Munson), the captain, Sean's overbearing father, cut with a fucking godfucking goddamn machete; the machete is clearly never close than two inches to his throat and the subsequent wound is quite tiny and boring
-Eva (Kelly Hu), the Asian girl, Tamara's only friend, trapped in the ship's discotheque and stalked in the weirdest scene ever: Jason seems to teleport around the room just to fuck with her. Then he strangles her. Strangles! In a slasher film!
Interlude: they figure out something is going on, and they arm themselves
-Random crew member or student, it's hard to tell which, shot accidentally by...
-Wayne (Martin Cummins), horribly annoying wannabe filmmaker who carries his damn video camera everywhere, thrown against a control panel that thereupon explodes. For some reason, Jason triggers the fire alarm, and people start trying to abandon ship.
-Miles (Gordon Currie), who is a high school student, Caucasian, um...male; impaled on a post of some kind
-Crazy deck hand (Alex Diakun), who kept warning everyone cryptically, axed in the back.
Rennie, Sean, Julius, McCulloch, Colleen and Toby-the-Dog get on a lifeboat, and drift about in the fog looking for land, for when one is travelling by sea from New Jersey to New York, one ends up in some deep open water. Pure fucking luck brings them to Upper New York Bay, which they realize when they are about 200 yards from the Statue of Liberty.
They land; Jason follows them; and after 65 minutes, the Taking of Manhattan begins.
No it doesn't. Jason stalks the five survivors, kills as many as he can and kills those who get in his way, but he leaves dozens of people entirely unmolested. So much for the "psycho killers kill" argument.
The film's depiction of New York is a very nasty one, although except for three shots in Times Square it's actually Vancouver. Anyway, some of the kind people populating the Big Apple are rapists (in a horribly atonal scene that simply doesn't belong here; but Jason kills them before anything happens, in the closest the film gets to a decent gore effect) and restaurateurs who would rather see you dead than let you call the police. Also, the sewers of New York apparently run with toxic waste. Also, they are full of red plastic barrels that say "DANGER - TOXIC WASTE" on them.
The only thing less interesting than watching Jason kill teens whose names we can barely keep straight on a boat, is watching him chase five people around a stage version of a city. There is less of a sense of urgency than in any prior film, because of some truly awkward editing that basically gives up on trying to establish where anybody is relative to anything. Eventually, Rennie gets a flashback in which we see McCulloch throw her in the lake to force her to learn how to swim, at which point she is grabbed by Jason as a zombie boy, and the last vestige of narrative continuity between these films goes up in a puff of smoke.
Everybody pretty much dies in terribly unimaginative ways (McCulloch particularly has been set up as too much of an asshole to get such a low-key exit), and at last it's Rennie versus Jason in the sewers. Yada yada yada, he gets drowned in the toxic waste that is flushed out every night at midnight, and he turns into a dead 10-year-old boy lying on the floor of the sewer. I hate these movies so much. I don't know why I'm doing this to myself anymore. Oh my god. Then, one very stupid "spring-loaded cat"-style false scare later, the movie ends.
Oh lordy.
Fair's fair, Kane Hodder returns to play Jason, and he does it well. But this is such a ponderous affair overall that I no longer care about the niceties of his performance. There is not one film in the series that feels so absolutely perfunctory as this, so totally uninvested in telling any sort of story or doing anything besides showing us people running and dying, and not even very much of the latter.
As I've mentioned, some of these films have been less exploitative than the others, but the aggressive lack of nudity and blood in Jason Takes Manhattan trumps them all. What the hell is left? Nothing in this film is even a tiny bit diverting, or amusing, or scary (okay, there's one kind of amusing scene, and it's due solely to Hodder's performance). It just happens. It happens all over the screen and I will be honest: I fell asleep, and then I had to rewatch the last 25 minutes, so now I've seen that goddamn "Jason turns into a boy" scene three separate times.
It is my contention that the kind of delightful poster seen above, pulled after the NY tourism board raised a stink, is the only element of Jason Takes Manhattan that contains any sort of entertainment value at all. Small wonder that this after this film, the very title Friday the 13th was retired in shame.
Body Count: 21, one of them an accidental shooting, and one of them a simple matter of being in a car when it a-splodes. This, by the way, is a perfect illustration of the idea that more deaths = more obnoxious movies. Oh, and the Lazarus has a lot more kids on it than we see die, but counting them would be unfair.
The F13 Dating Controversy: It hasn't been so long since The New Blood that the wood trapping Jason on the lakebed has rotted, though there's the usual business where a Crystal Lake resident has never heard of the Camp Blood murders, implying that it's been 20 or 30 years since the last film. Chalking that up, as usual, to desperate writing I'm willing to say that it's been about one year, setting Jason Takes Manhattan in May, 2003.
BUT! Jim tells Suzi that Jason drowned "thirty years ago," i.e. thirty years before the film was released. That sets it in the late '80s, during the gap between The Final Chapter and A New Beginning/Jason Lives, which means-
Fuck that shit. Life is too short.
Oh, if my timeline is right, Rennie meets boy Jason in the water a few months after Jason Lives.

Uhr becomes professor emeritus
Dr. Jonathan Uhr, one of UT Southwestern's most distinguished and revered scientists, has been named professor emeritus. An immunology researcher at the medical center since 1972, Dr. Uhr came to Texas when Dr. Donald Seldin, then chairman of internal medicine, recruited him to chair the medical center's microbiology department.
Dr. Jonathan Uhr
A member of the National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Uhr served as chairman of microbiology for 25 years, stepping down in 1997 to join the Cancer Immunobiology Center, which is directed by one of his most accomplished recruits, Dr. Ellen Vitetta.
"When Jon Uhr recruited me here from New York, he made it clear that his goal was to create the best microbiology department in the country, with a very strong immunology component," said Dr. Vitetta, who also is an NAS member and one of the most highly cited researchers in the country. "When I saw the list of people he had brought on board, I was extremely impressed. I knew it would be a fantastic place to work. I was not disappointed."
Dr. Vitetta, in turn, trained Dr. Linda Buck, who would also become a member of the NAS and go on to win the 2004 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. Dr. Buck was the first alumna of UT Southwestern Graduate School for Biomedical Sciences to receive the prize.
An internationally recognized biomedical researcher, Dr. Uhr also has mentored many accomplished scientists. He elucidated how antibodies are made by plasma cells and also was involved in the development of RhoGam, a medicine that prevents an immunological disease in infants.
In addition to his research on B cell biology, Dr. Uhr has been a pioneer in the investigation of dormant cancer cells and circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which are shed from primary tumors. A commercialized test to detect CTCs in the human bloodstream, based on Dr. Uhr's patent, is now used routinely in clinical laboratories. He has been working with colleagues to combine that technique with advanced imaging technology to characterize captured cancer cells, which could improve diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of the disease.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my almost four decades at UT Southwestern, both professionally and personally," Dr. Uhr said, noting that, along with many friends on the faculty, former UT Southwestern presidents Dr. Charles Sprague and Dr. Kern Wildenthal had been very supportive. "I am particularly excited about the potential impact of new technologies on early diagnosis and improved treatment of cancer. I hope that UT Southwestern will excel in this important field."
Dr. Uhr received his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine after graduating from Cornell University. He completed residencies in pathology and internal medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City and fellowships in immunology at the Hall Institute in Melbourne and at NYU School of Medicine. Prior to his appointment at UT Southwestern he was director of the Irvington House Institute and professor of internal medicine at NYU's medical school.
Dr. Vitetta holds the Scheryle Simmons Patigian Distinguished Chair in Cancer Immunobiology.

America structurally incarcerates more of its permanent and transitory residents than any other nation on Earth (including China, which has at least four times the population).
Sea World's motto: As long as incarcerating Orchas in tiny concrete ponds can continuously be made profitable for the corporate prison-camp master, well, "Get'er done!"
Meanwhile, America's private prison industry for humanity's disenfranchised is making money hand over iron glove.
Perhaps we choose not to realize it, but Uncle Arnie's mechanized, death-camp enslavement of us bio-types has already happened, and Skynet didn't even have to nuke anybody.
