Fist of Mercy
A tale of a young girl set in the 15th century.
Here she has become ill and slips into unconsciousness.
(unfinished and probably not going to be written in the correct order!)
A slight breeze caused the branches of the trees to sway and flutter as if waving to her as she skipped by, her arms full of the goods she had purchased at the market place. The day was hot with no sign of rain and even the slight breeze was refreshing. She must hurry to get back before her fruit wilted before her eyes and the milk turned sour in the heat.
Nearing the small house she saw George grazing and smiled to herself, she wondered where Ernie could be and hoped he wouldn't sneak up on her again. He had taken to doing this and had caused her to spill milk and even ale on several occasions. If she didn't know better it would have even sounded like he chuckled afterwards.
She crept up to the door but Ernie was nowhere to be seen. She cautiously opened the door, still no goose.
The house was refreshingly cool inside and she breathed the air in large gulps. She set her goods down on the table and took up a beaker, filling it with milk directly from the pail she had brought back from the market. The milk wasn't cold but it was still refreshing. It had a strange taste to it that she was a little unsure of but she put this down to the type of clover the cow had been fed on. She picked up one of the apples she had bought and shined it up on her skirt until it was bright and gleaming and then she took a bite. She had another drink from the pail and then covered it so that flies wouldn't fall in it before putting it in the cool shade in the corner of her kitchen.
Several days later the pail of milk was finished, the fruit had been used to make pies and jam and cakes and tarts. A full pantry made her happy. Ernie was in the meadow snapping up small insects that flew near his beak. George was flapping his ears at the insects and seemed to be watching the goose with a sad look upon his sad face. Ele was running a fever.
Her head swam whenever she tried to move or carry out her usual chores. Her skin felt hot and clammy. She held the back of her hand to her forehead and then tried the palm of her hand; it made no difference she was still burning up. She wondered if her face was as red and fiery as it felt it should be. She wished she had some milk left to drink to cool her down. All she had was water but she did not think she could manage a trip to get more. She soaked a rag and held it to her face. Her vision blurred sometimes. Often it felt as though chunks of time had passed by without her being aware of it. She wondered what sin she had committed for this to be happening to her. She tried to rack her brain to think of what she could have possibly done but thinking had become akin to wading through a thick frumenty.
The hot midday sun was beating down on her face...Ernie was next to her quacking softly...the evening breeze wafted in through her open door...her whole body felt hot even though it seemed to be dark outside...why was it dark during the day time? Light prickled at her eyes through her eyelids...the door was still open...a bucket rocked to and fro on the floor...George looked in through the door as the sky turned crimson.
She knew she needed help but it was so hard to think and her limbs felt like iron. She grabbed at the broom nearby and eventually managed to grasp it weakly and use it to ease herself up. Although she felt so very hot she shivered. Her clothes were soaked through with sweat and her mouth dry. Her vision whirled and spun and it took everything she had not to vomit as she slowly shuffled her way forwards using the broom as a crutch.
She reached the doorway in time to hold it and steady herself as another wave of nausea flowed over her and the colours of the woodland in front of her swirled in to a mass of varying green shades. She held George's mane and he stood firm next to her, the only time he had every bore her weight since she had bartered for him. She took a few steps forwards leaning on her broom with one hand and gripping George with the other.
The ground rushed towards her as she crumpled into the grass. Rivulets of sweat ran from her brow and she hadn't the strength to even wipe them from her eyes...but it didn't matter, her eyes were shut now, her breathing shallow, and her skin ablaze with fever. Her house was in the grounds of the main, grand building...she was so close she could almost sense the people nearby, yet it could be days before anyone stopped by, weeks even.
The soft grass enveloped her and she felt as if she were sinking into it, deeper and deeper so that she would never be found. Colours flashed in her head. Had she been cursed? Had she done someone a terrible wrong? Perhaps she had been poisoned?
The colours faded to darkness.

Reese is getting buried under the paperwork in his undercover identity as Fusco's partner, and Shaw is adjusting to her new undercover identity as a street level criminal. As such, Reese foists off dealing with the latest number to Finch, who still is hesitant to continue such work. Finch decides at least to start the process if only because the number is akin to someone like him. She is college sophomore Claire Mahoney, a seemingly brilliant young woman with an analytical mind. However, her life seems to have fallen off the rails in the past year, ditching her college studies and having recently purchased a firearm. As Finch tails her, he believes that she is involved in some deadly code breaking game/puzzle, the puzzle which always involves the figure of a nautilus. In addition to tailing her, Finch also tries to figure out who set up the puzzle and what its purpose is. Eventually Reese, Shaw, Root, Fusco and Bear get involved in helping Finch to varying degrees. What they collectively discover is that what happens to Claire has an indirect bearing on their own survival.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel San Diego Guanajuato
Travel Blogs from Guanajuato
... where balconies are so close together than residents could lean over the passageway to exchange a kiss, we climbed up to the viewing point high above the historic centre. In the hot sunshine, we enjoyed a spectacular view of the city. The church roofs were particularly impressive. From above, the town is ridiculously colourful and riotously higgledy piggledy. It is unique. Near at hand, we watched a sparrow-sized, bright red bird with black wings and tail ...

Although it was difficult to keep track of exactly what we were seeing and what the history of it was, the overall picture that I got was that this is an incredibly old, beautiful city that I was tromping through. Each iglesia was more impressive than the last and all containing towering, intricate statues, ancient paintings, and history longer than I can properly grasp. We ...

The ongoing debate of whether or not to ban fighting in the NHL was rekindled Tuesday night when Montreal Canadiens enforcer, George Parros, hit the ice face first and suffered a concussion in the middle of a fight with Toronto's Colton Orr. Thankfully, Parros should be fine, but it was another example of why the fighting debate should continue among the NHL and its players. Fighting is an integral part of hockey, and it is what makes the sport unique. Part of the reason I love the game is because of the physicality. It's a sport where you can stand up for yourself and your teammates in different and more violent way than in other sports. But is it time to rethink fighting in the NHL? I think so. People who want to ban fighting in the NHL are in the minority. Some NHL general managers – most notably Steve Yzerman - have called for a ban on fighting after Tuesday's incident, but the move to ban fighting is not very popular among the players. Ninety-eight percent of NHL players polled during the 2011-12 season oppose a fighting ban, and with percents as high as that, there's not going to be change any time soon. If you visit any hockey arena you can see the way the majority of the crowd jumps up and starts yelling in excitement once a fight breaks out. From that you can infer banning the action would be unpopular for fans too. I must admit, I do it too. But I also can't help but be appalled at such an action. When fans cheer the violence on the ice, I am reminded of the Romans cheering on the slaughter of humans in the Colosseum or the thousands of public executions cheered on by the public during the French Revolution. Obviously, no one is being slaughtered in a hockey arena, but the general mentality of human allowing and even cheering such meaningless acts of violence exists today, and I see it in a lot sports fans. That scares me. The NFL has ignored concussions and the long-term effects they have on current and former players. That has lead to players living miserable lives and even committing suicide. It seems the NFL is trying to repair that wrong, but that kind of inaction is unforgivable. I am afraid the NHL may be on the same track as the NFL. I love the physicality of the league, but I can't morally justify holding on to something so trivial in the grand scheme of life. Especially when people's lives and mental well-being are potentially at stake. I believe life is our most precious asset and anyone who takes it away is the worst kind of thief. The NHL and hockey can still exist without fighting. I just hope it doesn't take a death for people to the realization fighting needs to be banned. The post Why the NHL should ban fighting appeared first on Midwest Sports Fans.

Kennebec River
The Kennebec River
The Kennebec River flows through the heart of Maine,fromits origin at Moosehead Lake for more than 100 miles downstream to the head of tide in Augusta.You'll find a variety of environments in which to fish forstocked and wild brook trout,rainbow trout, brown trout,stocked and wild landlocked salmon, smallmouth bass,striped bass and anadromous shad, which return to freshwater to spawn.
The Upper Kennebec: Moosehead Lake to Solon
Flyanglersknow thepools and runs in thethreemiles of the East Outlet from Moosehead Lake for season-long fisheries for both stocked and wild landlocked salmon and brook trout. Wading is the most popular method in the East Outlet, though fishing from drift boats is increasing in popularity. At high flows, you can usea drift boattoaccess water not reachable by wading in this 200-foot wide river.
Moosehead Lake's West Outlet is smaller with much less flow than in the East Outlet. Hereyou can takean easyseven-mile canoe trip through undeveloped forestland down to Indian Pond and fish for stocked brook trout or resident smallmouth bass.
Below Indian Pond, the Kennebec flows for 19 miles to Wyman Lake. This entire section supports wild populations of landlocked salmon and brook trout. Flows vary with releases from Harris Dam at the Outlet of Indian Pond, soyoushould pay close attention to what the river is doing and be prepared to react accordingly.
The uppermost reaches flow through a deep gorge noted more for its whitewater rafting than its fishing. Access to the gorge is limited. Below the gorge the gradient moderates, and although access to the river is still limited,you'll findmore opportunity to fish this forested, undeveloped stretch. Route 201closelyfollows the lowerninemiles, from The Forks where the Dead River enters the Kennebec, down to Wyman Lake.You can easily wade thissectionor fish from a canoe.
The Kennebec below Wyman Dam in Bingham is also known for wild salmonids: landlocked salmon, brook trout and rainbow trout. Wading and casting from shore are possible in thethree-mile section immediately below Wyman Dam.You'll need aboat or canoe to effectively fish the flowage area comprising the remainingfivemiles above the Solon Dam.
The Lower Kennebec: Solon to Augusta
From Solon to Waterville,the Kennebec River alternates between short stretches of fast water immediately below each of the five dams on this 47-mile section, to longer stretches of flowage above the next dam immediately downstream. In the upper 14 miles from Solon to Madison,you canfish for both wild and stocked landlocked salmon, brook trout and brown trout.
Below Madison,you'llfind populations of brook trout, landlocked salmon and brown trout supported by annual stocking.You can also find resident populations of smallmouth bass throughout the river below Madisonall season long, especially in each of the flowage areas.
From this point, theKennebec River flows unobstructed for 17 miles from the lower dam in Waterville to tidewater. Between Waterville and Augusta,the river lies in a deep valley that is forested along both sides and undeveloped on its slopes down to the water. Access for launching and taking out watercraft to travel this section is limited to three locations—Waterville, Sidney and Augusta.
Althoughyou'll betravelingthrough a very populated area of Maine,you'll beisolatedwhile you're on the river.In addition tothelandlocked salmon and brown trout stocked in this section, and the resident population of smallmouth bass, anadromous shad and striped bass now swim all the way upstream to Waterville from the sea.

There is another source that has been done with a montage. The link is below, but that one may not last long either if links are being taken down. Listen while you can. BUY IT when available in your area.***
I knew you guys would want to listen ASAP and comment. I'll keep my eyes peeled for versions with better sound (although this one wasn't bad when I listened with all my speakers). Yeah, as we expected, the song is pretty amazing!

On the first visit here after the announcement of her candidature, Malini said, "I am devotee of Lord Krishna. I will try my best for the development of Mathura. I shall try to improve the pathetic condition of Yamuna," Hema said in Goverdhan, near here.
"I will not disappoint you if I am sent to the Lok Sabha from this constituency," she said. The former Rajya Sabha member was scheduled to offer prayers at the Daan Ghati Temple in Goverdhan, but had to cancel the programme due to huge rush. The actress is on a two-day visit to the constituency.
She is expected to visit Mathura and Vrindavan tomorrow.

LOUIS Walsh has given Katie Price a back-handed compliment, calling her
"really successful… without having any obvious talents".
The X Factor judge said: "She keeps reinventing herself – that's what I like
about her. She's had an incredibly long career, she's always in the news,
yet we wonder what her talent is."
Louis nominates the Sun columnist as his "weirdest celebrity crush" on Matt

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Make a well in the center and add eggs and add 1/4 of the milk. Using a whisk, combine the eggs and milk, then incorporate the flour; beginning with the inner rim of the well. Continue whisking until a smooth, stiff batter forms. Stir in half of the remaining milk. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Place 12 (3/4-cup) capacity muffin tins in oven until very hot, about 5 minutes.
Stir enough of the remaining milk into the batter until it is the consistency of heavy cream. Transfer 1 to 2 teaspoons of drippings into each muffin tin. Pour the batter in the muffin tins, filling them about 1/3 full; the batter should sizzle in the hot drippings. Return to oven and bake until puffed, browned, and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Yorkshire pudding is best served hot from the oven, but they can be kept warm in a low oven for about 15 minutes.

Three jockeys arrested over alleged rape at party
Prolific sex offender jailed for historic offences
David Mace, 59, from Bristol, admitted a series of serious sexual offences against multiple victims between 1996 – 2013 at Bristol Crown Court today.
Offences include rape, sexual activity with a child, sexual assault, voyeurism and indecent assault.
Mace's friend, Kenneth Gavens, 62, has also admitted sexual activity with a child and the possession of extreme pornographic image.
Mace has been jailed for 17 years and Gavens has been jailed for 29 months.
Detectives appeal to anonymous rape victim
Police are appealing to a rape victim who wrote an anonymous letter to get in touch.
The victim claimed she was raped in Taunton in 1968. She had been walking home when she was offered a lift and was then taken to a quiet location and attacked.
The details have been taken from an anonymous letter sent to the police and detectives are now trying to investigate it.
First contact from the victim was received in 2012 when she contacted the Crimestoppers charity but at that time there was too little information for an investigation.
Rapist sentenced to 3 and a half years
A 23 year old Bristol man has been jailed for three and a half years for a rape and two sexual assaults in Bristol, Essex and London.
Lee King from Lawrence Weston was found guilty at Bristol Crown Court of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault against a woman and a 15-year old girl.
5 years for attempted rape in Bristol
A man has been jailed for 5 years for an attempted rape in Bristol.

Bristol's hard-hitting anti rape campaign
"No excuse for rape"
A campaign has begun to try to alter perceptions that some victims are sometimes partly to blame for being raped.
Bristol city council has unveiled four hard-hitting posters.
They will be going up on billboards, be put on leaflets and on line to give the message there is no excuse for rape.
The project is taking place in partnership with the Police and Crime Commissioner, Sue Mountstevens
Rape victims have little faith in the legal system
There are calls for the Government to do more to support women who have been raped.
A woman from Somerset, who was a victim of rape, has joined a campaign highlighting the fact that many women do not report the crime, because they have little faith in the legal system.
Only one fifth of women who are raped report it to the Police.
Yvonne Traynor from Rape Crisis said they are not surprised by this low figure:
If this story has affected you in anyway, you can get more information and support by visiting Rape Crisis England and Wales.
New sexual assault support centre announced
A new support centre for victims of rape and sexual assault has been announced for Avon and Somerset.
The centre is one of four announced by the Government, and will be backed by £4 million pounds worth of funding. They will open within the next year, bringing the total number of centres across England and Wales to 78.
Around 473,000 women and men are sexually assaulted each year, according to recent figures, with one in 20 women reported as being a victim of a serious sexual offence. But only 54,000 sexual offences are recorded by police on average each year.
Since the 2010 coalition agreement, nine new centres have opened in Northumbria, Leeds, Southend, Suffolk and mid-Wales Hereford, Devon, Dorset and Trafford.

The film is set in the age of Senator Joseph McCarthy from Wisconsin, the demagogue with the sleepy eyes who hit on the game that there were so many card-carrying Communists in the State Department, at The New York Times or under your bed. In modern history, by which I mean the age of television, McCarthy was the first man who reckoned to change reality if he told enough lies in a sufficiently actorly way. He has had followers.
Fred Friendly (George Clooney) and Edward R Murrow (David Strathairn) work for CBS television in the sacred news department, and they feel the need to confront McCarthyism. They have waited for the feeble Congress and a jittery president (Eisenhower) to disown the man from Wisconsin. But his reckless power is growing - careers in the media were destroyed; academia was rife with Cold War paranoia; the "security" of the nation (albeit the most powerful in the world) was said to be in such jeopardy that civil rights might be restricted.
All of this really happened. Murrow - who had made his name first in radio, with commentaries from London during the Blitz - was a Lincolnian figure. Friendly was his producer. Their CBS was then the best network on television and it was headed by William Paley (Frank Langella) who led the way in television entertainment, who believed in news and who trusted Murrow up to a point.
It's a very simple story, told with tight-lipped economy. These TV people have no private lives to distract us. And the picture is shot in black and white just because its great coup is to cast Joseph McCarthy as himself. McCarthy and Murrow never met. They were faces on each other's screen. And since McCarthy lived and died by television, it is entirely proper to use the old kinescopes of his hearings. Indeed, he built his fame as a bully on TV, and he died there in the celebrated Army vs McCarthy hearings when a great lawyer, Joseph N Welch, asked him in front of the nation whether he had no decency left. At last the nation got the point, just as if McCarthy had been played by some actor like Broderick Crawford as shambling, sweating and incoherent.
This is the moment to ask those critics who didn't quite get George Clooney's debut film, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), to stay after school and see it again. Confessions was also a film about television in that it dealt with Chuck Barris, the brilliant inventor of silly game shows, and a man who said he was working for the CIA. It is the more inventive film, one in which levels of reality struggle for supremacy. Good Night, and Good Luck is remorselessly simple, yet it is inspired by how far television is now the camp fire at which our tribe gathers to stay warm.
Still, you have to watch Good Night very closely to see how its sliding camera and its sudden cuts do marvels to create the feeling of paranoia. No one knows at this CBS who can be trusted and who not. There are secrets within secrets; there are fears about job security and holding back panic. The portrait of William Paley is essential to this: he is smart, brilliant even, and a liberal at heart. But he has reached that point where the good of the business is close to smothering the good of the good. Yes, it's a film with heroes and villains, and inescapable connotations for 2005 no matter that no link is underlined. But if we had a president who watched television, or movies - this is what he deserves. Of course, his advisers don't allow such things. They prefer to keep him in the dark. And so the dark spreads. Good night - and good luck.
'Good Luck, and Good Night' closes the London Film Festival, 7pm, 3 November, www.lff.org.uk, 020 7928 3232

Steakhouses have been an institution in the restaurant industry since the early 1900's. The classic American steakhouse has come a long way since the first steakhouse opened its doors. In addition to an exceptional environment, the top steakhouses serve only the finest beef, utilizing inventive cooking techniques. Seasoning, or lack of it, comes into play as well as all the delicious accompaniments. Our pick for the top steakhouses in America bring the traditional steak dinner to a whole new delectable level.
Our first steakhouse is a landmark in Indianapolis, IN both for its long running excellence in steaks and for its prestigious guest list a mile long. St. Elmo's Steakhouse was established in 1902 and has been serving prime cuts of wet-aged beef in classic steakhouse style for over 100 years. Unlike the trend of serving everything a la carte, St. Elmo's adheres to the old tradition of serving you a meal, complete with bread, salad and potato. Steaks are cooked over an open flame and have the signature criss-cross grill marks. The prime rib, when available, always steals the show here. But the bone in ribeye is a good alternative. And the World Famous St. Elmo Shrimp Cocktail is a must for every diner. St. Elmo's Steakhouse has a long tenure of employees, some of whom have been there over 20 years. St. Elmo's exceptional service and adherence to the strictest quality standards are what have attracted such a prestigious following over the years.

Barclay Prime in Philadelphia, PA. is located in the very desirable Rittenhouse Square. It's description of a "luxury boutique steakhouse" perfectly fits the wood paneled bar/lounge area and the open, airy dining room with glittering chandeliers and modern seating. Their selection of steaks encompasses everything form 40-day dry-aged prime beef to Japanese A5 wagyu steaks. But their crowning glory is the 50 oz. Tomahawk Ribeye carved tableside. A knife selection is presented to each guest upon ordering a steak. Barclay Prime offers an array of sides and sauces to complement your steak and amazing Gruyere bread to start your meal. Barclay Prime brings sophistication to American steakhouses.

Peter Luger's Steakhouse is a New York City tradition. This unpretentious wood paneled steakhouse was established in 1887. All of their beef is hand selected by the Forman family and has been for over 50 years. The selected loins of beef are then dry-aged on site in their special aging box. Once butchered these USDA Prime cuts of beef are ready for broiling. Peter Luger's only offers two types of steak on their menu – the rib steak and porterhouse. The porterhouse can be ordered for up to four. It comes out pre-sliced on a sizzling hot plate which perfectly catches the natural steak juices. Sides are a la carte and portioned for two. If you are a true carnivore, take advantage of Luger's Sizzling Bacon by the Slice before your main course. And be sure to save room, if you can, for Peter Luger's famous Apple Strudel with homemade "Schlag". Word to the wise – Peter Luger's is cash only!

Dickie Brennan's Steakhouse in New Orleans serves USDA prime steaks "with a New Orleans touch". What that means is you'll get the finest cut of beef which you can "jazz" up in true New Orleans fashion with jumbo gulf shrimp or Danish bleu cheese. Even their prime rib is given the Cajun treatment with honey and creole seasoning. The house favorite is the USDA Prime Strip seared in cast iron with creole seasoning. But for something truly exceptional, try their famous House Filet topped with fried oysters and béarnaise sauce. Dickie Brennan's occupies a space just inside the French Quarter, and offers six private dining rooms including a chic lounge/bar. Known as the best steakhouse in the city, you will regularly see Louisiana's most important people enjoying one of Dickie Brennan's New Orleans style steaks. At Dickie's you'll always be in good company.

Murray's Steakhouse in Minneapolis, MN has been family owned and operated for 60 years. Very little has changed at Murray' since they opened. They still use their top-secret recipe for garlic toast, and they are still serving their famous 28 oz. Silver Butter Knife Steak for 2 carved tableside. All of Murray's steaks are aged 28 days and hand cut by the in house butcher Boyd, who has been with Murray's for over 30 years. Steaks are served alone in all their meaty glory, diners pair them with an a la carte side. Murray's occupies a space in one of the oldest buildings in downtown Minneapolis. Through the years the city has been knocked down and built up again. Murray's has remained the same both outside and in, doing things as they always have, and we suspect, as they always will.

Pappas Bros. operates three steakhouses in Dallas and Houston, TX. Their recipe for a great steak is three-fold. They only serve 100% USDA prime beef, obtained from one Midwest packer. Their full time butchers hand cut all steaks in house for the perfect portion every time. The steaks are dry aged in house for at least 28 days using their family secret dry aging process. Only after this are steaks worthy for your plate. Pappas. Bros. finishes them on Montague broilers with kosher salt, pepper and butter perfectly bringing out the dry-aged flavors. Pappas. Bros. also offers an award-winning wine list, the perfect complement to any of their perfected steaks. For a real treat try a plate of Lobster Deviled Eggs.

Cattleman's Steakhouse in Oklahoma City, OK has the distinction of being the oldest, continuously operating restaurant in the city and for good reason. With a history almost as legendary as their steaks, Cattleman's has been hand-cutting and dry aging cut of corn fed Midwest USDA Prime and Choice beef since the early 1900's. Cattleman's uses charcoal flame to finish their beef, ensuring seared on the outside, juicy on the inside steaks. Cattleman's T-Bone Steak was served to President Bush and their signature Pepper Steak is topped with a delicious peppercorn cream sauce. But if you really want the finest Cattleman's has to offer, inquire about the nightly USDA Prime "Blue Ribbon Special". Cattleman's Steakhouse was won by Gene Wade with one roll of the dice in 1945 and since then Mr. Wade has made it into the legendary steakhouse it is today.

Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa, FL. came about through an intense labor of love. Bern and his wife Gert spent their spent most of their adulthood turning an old bar into the award winning steakhouse it is today. Bern's Steakhouse considers cooking steaks an art form, carving each one to order. They cater to all tastes and appetites. You can order dry-aged steaks (aged 5 to eight weeks) or fresh cuts in any size you would like. Their comprehensive grilling chart gives every temperature imaginable and a variety of sauces and topping are available to enhance your steak. Be sure to inquire about the Kitchen within a Kitchen menu for the nightly specials and Luxe Beef Tasting. The rest of Bern's menu should not be overlooked. Fresh seafood is delivered daily and Bern's only uses hormone-free chicken. Two different types of foie gras are on the menu as well as 20 different types of caviar. And of course, no trip to Bern's would be complete without a trip to the Harry Waugh dessert room.

Kevin Rathbun turned an old cotton warehouse in downtown Atlanta into an award winning steakhouse. Kevin Rathbun Steak serves only USDA prime steaks from Allen Brothers meat purveyors in Chicago, a name well known in the steak business. Allen Brothers hand carves and meticulously dry-ages all of their beef, only sending out the very best product. Kevin Rathbun adds their touch with a perfect season and sear. Steaks come out with a delicate crust and juicy center. Most popular choices are the dry age steak for two or three and the bone in filet. And if you dine at Kevin Rathbun's don't overlook the steak accompaniments. The Seared Foie Gras atop a bone in filet is pure perfection. The rest of Kevin Rathbun's menu is unusually large with hot and cold appetizers, chilled seafood, salads, sides and other entrees – in all over 50 items. Kevin Rathbun Steak, with their modern spin on the traditional steakhouse, has established themselves as one of the top steakhouses in the country.

Cut in Beverly Hills is a contemporary take on the traditional American steakhouse. The menu encompasses a variety of the highest quality beef. Diners can choose from two different varieties of USDA prime beef, American Wagyu Beef and Japanese Wagyu Beef. The 21-day wet-aged Illinois Porterhouse for Two carved tableside is a popular choice among diners. But the true standout on the menu is Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef from Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu. This melt in your mouth beef is arguably, the best in the world. Undecided diners can opt for the New York Sirloin tasting, giving diners a sampling of American Wagyu, Japanese Wagyu and Nebraska 35-day dry-aged strips. A tip from diners is to start with the dry-aged and work your way up to the Japanese wagyu. Each steak is cooked over charcoal and hardwood, then finished in a 1200-degree oven. And with most steakhouses, Cut offers a variety of toppings and sauces to enhance the steaks. Cut is the place to see and be seen with its location in the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. It's also the place to have an unrivaled steak dinner.

(NASDAQ: XLNX) and its Certified Xilinx Alliance Program Member, Barco Silex, announced today at IBC 2012 (Hall 10, Stand #10.B25) their collaboration to ease the development of video over IP solutions with a comprehensive platform combining hardware-validated IP, reference designs and systems integration services supporting Xilinx's All Programmable FPGAs and SoCs. The new initiative will enable broadcast equipment OEMs to accelerate product development and add the latest video over IP capabilities to their existing products and those currently in development. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120906/SF68655) (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020822/XLNXLOGO) "The broadcaster's migration to IP-based infrastructures is complicated as industry standards are in a state-of-flux, which in turn puts pressure on equipment manufacturers to implement these emerging standards. Manufacturers can now benefit from a 'one-stop-shop' for a comprehensive FPGA-based platform to develop 'future proof' IP video solutions," said Ben Runyan, director of broadcast and consumer segment marketing at Xilinx. "Not only can these manufacturers leverage the reprogrammable nature of Xilinx's 7 series FPGAs to ensure their products can comply with changes to standards, our programmable platform can speed product development and enable OEMs to focus on innovative features and functionality." "This collaboration plays to the strengths of both companies and will clearly benefit broadcast equipment OEMs who need to accelerate the development of new IP-based video solutions that can adapt to changes in critical standards, specifications and protocols," said Thierry Watteyne, CEO of Barco Silex. "Together, Barco Silex and Xilinx offer manufacturers a truly best-of-breed platform that combines hardware-validated IP and reference designs complemented by the extensive systems integration and design services we can provide." The first platform offering is based on Xilinx's 28nm 7 series of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), which is made up of three new families that collectively address the complete range of OEMs system requirements – from low-cost, high-volume applications to the most demanding high-performance applications. The 7 series devices are the programmable silicon foundation for Xilinx's Targeted Design Platforms (TDPs) that enable broadcast OEMs to focus on product innovation and differentiation.

David Spencer stepped into St. Augustus' Baptist Church a particular degree of trepidation. Institutions bring with them connotations, the imposing edifice of stone and concrete brought with it a full spectrum of reluctant emotions. It was not a traditional set of them. He did not weep at it's door. He did not rage at it's structure. He did not feel joy at it's foundations. David Spencer's range of Church-based emotions ranged from his aforementioned trepidation to suspicion. He wondered if trepidation was, strictly speaking, an emotion. As he thrust an imaginary door open (the real door, of course, remained always open, a beckoning welcome to wayward souls such as himself) and gained a few peculiar looks from a housewife. David Spencer had, of course, assumed she was a housewife. It was a fair assumption. The time was 12:51 on a thursday. His lunch hour. What reason could she have to be here at that time? Perhaps it was her lunch hour. She did not seem to be the sort. Her dress almost seemed grandmotherly. Could she be an early retiree seeking spiritual guidance? At thursday lunchtime? If she was that age, she would have been here earlier. Would she, though? Wouldn't a housewife have found her way here after the morning rituals of kids-to-school, of washing and cleaning? Wouldn't she be more suited to appear in a Church at this time?
The irony of questioning why someone would appear in a church was not lost on David Spencer. He was there entirely out of character. His presence had no rational explanation. Even he was aware that the absence of emotion in the wake of a tragedy was not impetus for pursuing faith.
These were the words David Spencer thought in. Growing up, he had been a smart child. Not a straight A student, or any reasonable facsimile thereof, he had coasted through his childhood education knowing that he was perfectly capable of excellent performance, but refusing to do anything more than necessary. Aged 15, and growing older every day, he would often question his religious studies teacher about the very nature of God at a fundamentally asinine level. His contempt for the institution was palpable, and the weak, poorly constructed answers of his teacher didn't help at all.
"But sir, what form of benevolent God creates a reality purely to test those that enter it completely innocent?"
"Well, that's not really the purpose of the universe, is it?"
"But, the final act of all souls is to face judgement and pass through to heaven or hell, depending on their actions?"
"Yes, of course."
"And God is the one that places those souls into the world?"
"Of course."
"And they enter it innocent?"
"David, what exactly is your point?"
"Well, isn't it an entirely sadistic act to construct a reality which is nothing more than a trial run for a state of existence in which you technically were already a part of?"
"Well... That's a good point... But I think we're losing sight of the point."
David Spencer knew he was being an ass.
It was entirely his point. He had seen the face of organised religion, and was spitting in it. It was certainly odd, then, that he was standing in the entryway of the Baptist Church that he'd found himself visiting. The supposed housewife approached.
"I'm Sister Francine. How may I help you?"
The obvious. A woman in a church building was not necessarily a visitor. What made him assume otherwise? There was nothing about her that suggested she was anything but a member of the clergy. It was systematic. It was symptomatic. Despite whatever he may believe, his first instinct was woman as homemaker.
"Nothing, I... I... I should be going."
David Spencer had decided that St. Augustus' Baptist Church was not for him.

Things I absolutely REMEMBER happening
So, yes, we did get popsicles. And Ma did cuss out the storekeeper as being a "no good cracker", before reminding him "there's room in the bus for all of us, and I ain't gonna stop for nobody"
The storekeeper, an older East Indian man I'm sure heard only the door swinging shut behind us as I raced Ma out shaking her fist.
"We have to go to BINGO now", I said to Veruca.
Veruca was obviously irritated at this, and between trying to argue with her, and balance Ma's grooving to Rap on my back, things were becoming quickly untenable.
"And why is that?", said Veruca, her hands firmly planted on her hips. She tended to look somewhat imposing in her Ninja gear, and with the Nike swoop on her back, she made it known that she was a highly sought after endorsement deal Ninja.
"Because we need Ma to co-operate". By this point, in order to keep up with Mom's swaying on her toilet, I had to tuck my thumbs between the straps that fastened her to my back and sway in tune to some kind of Public Enemy beat. At least Ma couldn't hear what we were saying, with her hands over her Sony headphones, head bobbing in perpetual agreement, yelling, "uh huh, uh huh"
"If Ma decides to jump off my back, and make a hightail for it, she'll fall over dead within seconds of leaving the commode's powersphere, fall dead and we'll all lose our gifts"
"What do you mean, we'll all?", snapped Veruca.
Ma interrupted with a shrill "Chucky D's in the house", and then her diatribe announced the crowd of bystanders our presence had created.
"Lookit you crackas, a buch of cornfed suckas, where your daddy at? Yo daddy's a broken jimmyhat!"
Veruca never paid attention to the crowd, too intent on arguing about BINGO.
The fact is, I lied.
"Your mother doesn't want to go to BINGO. You want to go to BINGO. You're so lame, making your mother sit their on her toilet while you dab away all her money on cards"
I struggled to keep my conversation with Veruca, while watching the unruly crowd, who had suddenly found something apparently more entertaining than us. And there he was, dazzling the crowd with his western antics. Clad as a Western gunfighter, he stood, spinning his revolver and making kindly gestures to the crowd.
"Oh, how I love these street festivals", crooned a young woman, holding her ugly baby.
"marcwojo?", gasped Veruca, who for the first time I met her was motionless, transfixed.
"Giddya up, y'all", drawled the cowboy, "Hope y'all ya'all is up for downhome entertainment"
"That's not marcwojo, Veruca!" I bent forward to make up for Ma's weight, while grabbing Veruca's arm with another.
"Wally Sasparelli's gonna show you some good ole Western justice"
But it wasn't Wally Sasperelli with the lasso intent on pulling Ma off my back. It was Walter Sasparelli.
"Veruca! We have to get out of here! We can make the 42C southbound if we go now. It's due to arrive in just a few minutes!"

To the delight of living room video gamers everywhere, Sony's PlayStation 4 hits stores this Friday. Even if you've been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this device for months, there has been little hands-on detail about the games or the hardware, until now.
First, let's deal with the most-asked question: "Will my PS3 games work on the PS4?" Sorry, no. Totally different hardware design means no backwards compatibility. Which means this $399 console is no impulse buy, but it is a pretty good price for a stronger and more powerful device, with a number of nifty add-ons to boot. For the core audience, the PS4 offers up better graphics and the potential for more realistic-looking games. Its sharing functions will expand those social gaming experiences to new people who might want that sort of thing. The optional peripherals also promise some intriguing new possibilities that developers may or may not capitalize on.
I've spent several days with new console, so let's cut to the chase and I'll tell you what I think:
First impression
The PS4 is essentially a parallelogram, or a rectangular box with a slight angle to it. The angle isn't just a stylistic thing, according to designers – it also has a functional purpose. With a façade that slopes downward just a bit, it's a little easier to push the power and eject buttons. The slight overhang at its back, meanwhile, hides its cables.
An LED stripe runs down the length of the console and pulses blue when it's on, or orange when it's in standby mode. The pulsing is a nice touch – it's meant to give the impression that the machine is "alive," as the designers say.
Over all, it's as decent-looking an addition to the living room as could be expected. The angle and long LED differentiates the PS4 from other Blu-ray players and set-top boxes, making it look a little sleeker than the rest.
How does it perform?
Most buyers will be picking up the PS4 for its improved graphics. The console boasts an eight-core single-chip x86 AMD Jaguar processor and an AMD Radeon graphics core next engine, with 1.84 teraflops per second of shader throughput. If you don't speak nerd, that means it's comparable to current high-end gaming PCs. Of course, PCs will continue to improve over the next few years and inevitably end up with a big edge, but at the same time developers are going to learn how to maximize what they have to work with on the PS4. Games a few years from now will inevitably look staggeringly better than launch titles, the same way that early PS3 games now pale compared to current releases for that console.
That said, the launch games already look fantastic. The made-for-PS4 Killzone: Shadow Fall is a visual feast – rain-slicked surfaces reflect light in a way that's almost too real, while clouds in Knack seem so fluffy that you kind of wish you could lie down on them. The improvements are most noticeable when comparing games that were also released on previous generation consoles. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, for example, looks stunning on the PS3, but even more so on the PS4. The game's roiling oceans seem that much more realistic on the new console, while other small touches – like footprints on a beach that persist – enhance the realism.
How does it work?
With engineers working on the interface and network features right up until launch, Sony has been quiet on these aspects until this week. The cross media bar (XMB) menu system of the PS3 has been pushed to the background and replaced with a grid of icons that are showcases for Facebook-like "activity feeds." Navigate onto a game icon, for example, and all kinds of news about it will pop up – any new downloadable content for it will be prominently shown, as will friends' activities. You can quickly get a glance at which of your friends have uploaded screenshots and gameplay videos in that particular game.
Much of the stuff from the XMB – system settings, trophies and so on – is still accessible, but it's wisely put into the background behind the main "What's New" grid. It's a smart layout, since you can still access all the nuts and bolts, but the things you really want are up front.
One of the best things about the PS4 is the ability to jump between screens quickly. Hitting the PS button on the controller, for example, instantly brings up the main interface, where you can access other features without closing your game. Double-tapping the PS button, for example, takes you into the last app you were in. So, for instance, you can pause a game and quickly call up the console's Web browser to check for hints on how to pass a part you're stuck on, then immediately switch back into the game. It's seamless and amazingly fast.
What about games?
Although it's positioned as the console for core gamers, the PS4 is relatively short on big core launch titles, at least in comparison to the Xbox One. Killzone: Shadow Fall, as a first-person shooter, is the obvious flagship launch game. Its graphics are stunning and do a great job of highlighting the console's technical capabilities, but the game itself is underwhelming. Knack, a brawling platformer, is also a visual showcase and a lot of fun – although it is aimed more at children and is a little too long for what it is. (My separate reviews of Killzone here, and Knack here.)
Otherwise, the PS4 is counting on visually buffed versions of current-generation games such Skylanders: Swap Force and FIFA 14, plus an army of indie games such as ResoGun and Contrast, to entice byers this holiday season. Sony is promising 20 exclusive games within the console's first year, with a dozen of them being brand new franchises. The company has a solid track record of producing excellent exclusives, so there's little doubt that more, good first-party games are coming.
The controller
Sony has put significant effort into redesigning its iconic Dualshock controller, to the point where it's a thing of beauty now. Its handles are slightly longer, which provides for a better grip, and its bottom shoulder buttons are now more trigger-like. While the Xbox 360 was the console of choice for fans of shooter games thanks mainly to its controller triggers, the PS4 is now more on par.
The "start" button from previous Dualshock controllers has been scrapped, here most of its usual functions are merged with the old "select" button for a new "options" button. It's conveniently placed adjacent to the right thumbstick, so pausing and accessing menus is quick and easy. The same goes for the "share" button on the left side. It's amazingly easy to put the game on hold and launch right into uploading gameplay pictures and video (more on this below).
The entire controller is more weighty and comfortable, mainly because of the new touch pad squeezed in between its shoulder buttons. The pad also adds new functionality for game developers – in Killzone, for example, quick swipes on it sends instructions to your drone sidekick.
It's possible the pad may prove to be an unnecessary gimmick: One big complaint among non-gamers is that console controllers, with their myriad buttons and thumbsticks, are already too complicated to learn. The touchpad, which potentially adds even more controls to games, only makes that situation worse.
The addition of a speaker within the controller itself, however, is more intriguing. I actually forgot it was there until I picked up an audio log in Killzone, which then started playing back through the controller. Even though I've experienced this kind of feature on Nintendo's Wii U, it still gave me a start. It's a small, neat touch that – in the right hands – will enhance games.
Last but not least, the Dualshock 4 has the PlayStation Move built into it. The front of the controller resembles a Battlestar Galactica Cylon of sorts, with an eye-slit-like light that glows blue, red or yellow. The light actually serves a few purposes – in Killzone, it's a quick gauge of your character's health (red is dire), but it also enables motion tracking. (More on this in the next section.)
All told, the PS4 packs an impressive amount of technology into its controller. It's a huge step up from its predecessor that will not only make Sony's console a more credible competitor for shooters, it also opens up enticing new possibilities for developers.
Downloads and interconnections
The PlayStation Store is largely unchanged from the PS3, although any purchased TV shows and movies are now streamed rather than downloaded. One nifty change to game downloads is the ability for publishers to offer prioritized downloads. Say you want to buy a digital version of Call of Duty: Ghosts – rather than waiting for the whole thing to download before playing, you can now choose to get the multiplayer mode first. When it's finished, you can go ahead and play while the single-player continues to download.
Canadians are, as usual, getting short-changed when it comes to non-game video apps, with only four – Netflix, Crackle, Crunchy Roll and NHL Game Centre – available at launch. Americans, in comparison, are getting 11, including apps such as Hulu. Still, Netflix is really the only one that matters.
While Microsoft has made its motion– and voice-sensing Kinect an integral feature of its own next-generation console, the Xbox One, the PS4 isn't exactly lacking in these technologies. Sony, however, has wisely made them all optional – players can pick up the $60 Eye camera if they want, but it's not necessary.
The Playroom is an included app on the console that shows off some amazing augmented reality possibilities by integrating the Eye, the Dualshock's Move capabilities and the free PlayStation smartphone and tablet app. AR Robots, for example, lets you play with a group of comical robots. Wave at them and they'll wave back, or hoover them up off the screen into your controller. Once they're in there, you'll see them huddled inside the Dualshock, where pressing buttons results in corresponding tremors in their surroundings. Their surprised reactions are amusing and delightful.
The app, which will be available soon after launch, lets you create toys that the robots can play with. You can, for example, draw a ball on your tablet, then flick it towards the TV, where it appears in full 3D glory. The robots then start batting it around. It's cutesy stuff, to be sure, but it's definitely got that "wow" factor that I'd really like to see expanded.
The social sharing features
Virtually none of the PS4's online capabilities were working prior to launch, a fact that still holds true as of press time. It's therefore hard to assess them and, more to the point, without public stress testing it's highly likely that there will be problems once millions jump onto Sony's servers on Friday. The best anyone can hope for is that any issues end up being minor and short-lived.
In a demo of these features at the New York event, Sony representatives showed off the controller's sharing features. A simple push of the "share" button immediately gives players three options: they can upload a screenshot to Facebook or Twitter, up to 15 minutes of their latest gameplay footage to Facebook, or launch a real-time broadcast of their game via Twitch or Ustream.
The video upload function includes an easy-to-use editor, where clips can be shortened and chopped up. Similarly, players can launch live broadcasts of their games that others can watch online. The function allows picture-in-picture if the broadcaster has the Eye camera, so you can see the player as well as what he or she is playing. Observers can also input comments in real-time, which the person broadcasting can then answer "on air."
Personally, I can't imagine too many things more boring than watching other people play video games, and I'm dreading seeing my Facebook feed load up with such videos. Still, it will appeal to a certain subset of inventive gamers who will put it to good use, not least of which are those who want to immortalize their own humiliation of friends in multiplayer games. One note of caution for Canadians – where monthly broadband caps are relatively low – these uploading and broadcasting functions are likely to chew up a lot of bandwidth.
The verdict
While casual games on smartphones and tablets have captured some of the game industry's dollars, consoles aren't going anywhere. They're still the best way to enjoy immersive, interactive escapism, and the PS4 represents a new high-water mark in delivering that experience.
There will inevitably be hiccups with the PS4's online functions at launch – it'll be a minor miracle if Sony manages to avoid major problems – so early-days buyers should be prepared for delays.
For serious gamers, it's not really a question of "if" they're going to buy a PS4, but "when." Despite the massive install base of the current generation, developers are shifting their resources to the newer, more powerful machines. It won't be long before all of the good games are coming out exclusively on next-generation consoles, with the PS3 and Xbox 360 eventually resigned to the same dustbin filled with Famicoms and Sega Dreamcasts of eras gone by.
And one final note: unless you're a PlayStation loyalist there are other choices in the console market you might consider. So stay tuned, next week I'll have a review of the PS4's main competitor: Microsoft's Xbox One.Report Typo/Error
