Initial Dozens Could Lead to Thousands of Grid-Connected EVs
The U.S. Department of Defense is deploying several dozen battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles around the country, with a view to demonstrating how V2G – vehicle-to-grid – technology can help take the strain off of the electric grid during peak hours by utilizing the vehicles' batteries.
As a military endeavor, V2G can also improve national security. V2G-capable electric vehicles, says DoD program director Camron Gorguinpour, "can act as mobile distributed energy resources to optimize existing generator efficiencies and provide spot power to locations not typically identified as mission critical."
The program, following several modifications, is kicking off with deployment of five dozen vehicles at four military installations: the Los Angeles Air Force Base, Fort Hood in Texas, Joint Base Andrews outside Washington, D.C. and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey.
Evaos, Nissan, Via, EVI and Phoenix
Eventually, the program could expend to as many as 1,500 PHEVs at as many as 30 installations.
Evaos, a new developer of Ford pickup-based extended range hybrid EVs (F&F, April 8) is to supply 32 PHEVs, Nissan is to supply 22 pure battery electric Nissan Leaf cars, Via Motors is to supply 13 range-extended electric vans, Electric Vehicles International is to supply four range-extended electric trucks based on the Ford F-550 chassis, and Phoenix Motorcars is to supply one fully battery electric vehicle.
Coritech and Princeton Power Systems are providing charging stations, Gorguinpour says, while the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab is developing the program's software. In addition, Gorguinpour told F&F this week, the California Energy Commission has approved funding for LBNL and Pacific Gas & Electric to launch an additional V2G demonstration at the Mountain View Army Reserve Center, near Moffett Field outside San Jose.
Heavy Duty Electronics
Southern California Edison is participating in the program via the Los Angeles AFB.
Austin, Texas-based Ideal Power noted last month that it has an order from Coritech for ten of its 30-kilowatt Power Packet Switching Architecture-enabled battery converters for the Pentagon's V2G program. Ideal cited a study indicating that more than 250,000 V2G-enabled EVs will be sold worldwide through 2022.
Princeton Power, for its part, late last month announced availability of the 250-kilowatt BIGI-250, a battery-integrated inverter designed to help integrate energy storage into the grid.

text: NEW YORK (Reuters) - Gravity has taken hold of Apple, and a lot of investors have been smacked on the head. Apple Inc, the largest U.S. stock by market value, was headed toward its eighth straight week of declines on Friday, as the rush to secure profits before a potential hike in capital gains taxes next year has investors dumping the market favorite. Since hitting a record high of $705.07 a share in September, Apple has lost about a quarter of its value. The stock's descent has vastly outpaced those of the S&P 500, which is down just under 7 percent in the same time frame. ...{br}{br}View the Entire Article{br}

The impact of DoD on the energy management policy is often neglected in the past due to the inability to model its effect on the marginal cost per battery usage. In this work, a novel… (More)

WASHINGTON, DC – The Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Joe Pitts (R-PA), today heard from the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission on ideas for reforming the traditional Medicare benefit design. Many of the Commission's recommendations for reform represent policy ideas that carry long-standing bipartisan support from a wide range of policymakers, health experts, and economists. Below is a small compilation of statements and resources that note similar ideas that have been promoted by both conservative and progressive policymakers and organizations for more than a decade.
- "Regardless of the magnitude of changes enacted, creating a more unified structure would be consistent with aligning Medicare with changes in health insurance that have occurred since the program's creation…Indeed, a unified structure may be necessary to offer Medicare more flexibility to provide access to affordable, high quality care in a continually changing health care environment." – AARP Policy Institute. "The Effects of Merging Part A and Part B of Medicare." C.F. Caplan, D.J. Gross. 1999.
- "Under the plan, the traditional Part A and Part B fee-for-service deductibles would be combined…this will lower the hospital deductibles." – National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare. "Talking Points: Breaux-Thomas Proposal." 1999.
- "Currently, Medicare beneficiaries must navigate a hodge-podge of premiums, deductibles, and copays that offer neither spending predictability nor protection from catastrophic financial risk. … The ability of Medicare cost-sharing to control costs – either under current law or as proposed above – is limited by the purchase of supplemental private insurance plans (Medigap plans) that piggyback on Medicare." The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility & Reform. "The Moment of Truth." December 2010.
- "Congress should begin a two-stage structural reform of Medicare to transform the program into a robust system of consumer choice and competition…Medicare's fee-for-service (FFS) financing is cumbersome, counterproductive, and wasteful. It generates patient access problems and dissatisfaction among doctors, and it rewards volume rather than quality. Even with price controls, Medicare spending accelerates, thus fuelling larger deficits. Congress can make real progress with specific policy changes…Protect Medicare patients from the costs of catastrophic illness… [and] Cut taxpayer subsidies for the wealthiest beneficiaries." – The Heritage Foundation. "The First State of Medicare Reform: Fixing the Current Program." 2011.
- "Looking to the future, Medicare faces a number of challenges, including: An outdated benefit design, with relatively high deductibles and cost-sharing requirements, no limit on out-of-pocket spending, and benefit gaps, that encourages beneficiaries to seek supplemental insurance and contributes to relatively high out-of-pocket spending." – Kaiser Family Foundation (Author panel includes experts from the American Enterprise Institute, the Commonwealth Fund, the Obama Administration, Brookings, and the Urban Institute). "Policy Options to Sustain Medicare For The Future." January 2013.
- "Under Medicare Parts B and D, certain beneficiaries pay higher premiums based on their higher levels of income. Beginning in 2017, this proposal would restructure income-related premiums under Medicare Parts B and D by increasing the lowest income-related premium five percentage points, from 35 percent to 40 percent, and also increasing other income brackets until capping the highest tier at 90 percent… "…Introduce Part B Premium Surcharge for New Beneficiaries Purchasing Near First-Dollar Medigap Coverage: This proposal would introduce a Part B premium surcharge for new beneficiaries who purchase Medigap policies with particularly low cost-sharing requirements, effective in 2017." – U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. "Fiscal Year 2014 Budget in Briefing." 2013.

Join LIMS today to start receiving the Journal and Movement News!
We changed the MOVEMENT NEWS format!
Since June 2015 MN has been online as a Blog, aiming to facilitate and expand the communication with and between our members and people who are aware that being alive is being in movement. Your collaboration will be welcomed!
Please visit us at www.movementnews.net
The enclosed LIMS Movement News 2012, which you can find here as an example, was our first country-focused edition. It celebrated BRAZIL, where there is more than 15 CMAs and LMA & BF are included in most Performing Arts schools and universities. Since 2009, Rio de Janeiro pioneered in offering a LIMS' associated "Specialization Program in the Laban/Bartenieff System" at the Angel Vianna Dance College. The Program, designed and coordinated by senior CMA Regina Miranda (Class of 1975), has been drawing attention from all Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. The Program also offers the opportunity for selected candidates to enter LIMS Certification Program at a later stage.
Movement News is an annual online magazine that celebrates and promotes movement in all walks of life. It is specially relevant for those with an interest in movement as human beings' primary language. The approach to the work is informed by embodied practice and personal involvement.
LIMS Movement News aims:
- To feature a wide spectrum of developments and applications of LMA/BF
- To keep a balance between presenting well-known and recent CMAs, Laban/Bartenieff Specialists, and graduates from other Programs around the world.
- To cover original work created both within the US and abroad.
We intend to alternate between more informal editions, with articles and news from several countries, and editions such as the current one, that focuses in the intellectual/practical production of one country. The next focused edition will present the production of FRANCE.
We are accepting proposals for 2013. Please send your proposal to Movement News Editor, Regina Miranda. Detailed information inside Movement News.
We hope you will enjoy this edition of LIMS® Movement News!

There are two opposing trends flooding my Facebook and Twitter feeds at the moment. One is the lobbying for equal marriage rights for all and the other is that marriage is an old fashioned, broken institution, best left in the dark ages.
Recently, on the "marriage is for idiots" side, Catherine Deveny shared this article about the evolution of marriage over the centuries, titled, "Why the idea of traditional marriage is total bulsh*t". I'm not sure that it necessarily served her purposes, as it doesn't debunk marriage as an obsolete institution, but merely describes how it has changed. It takes umbrage with the phrase "traditional marriage" rather than marriage itself.
I find it interesting Catherine feels so strongly about marriage and I keep following her conversations, trying to find a reason to agree with her.
And yet, I find that I can't.
Despite spending 18 years in an emotionally abusive relationship, 7 of those married, I never lost my faith in marriage. Yes, I obviously married the wrong person, but my idea of marriage hasn't faltered and I would do it again should the right person come along.
I have seen plenty of examples of bad marriages and few of good ones, but that doesn't tell me that marriage is broken, it tells me that the wrong people marry each other, stay together or have conflicting ideas of what marriage is all about.
I have a very strong concept of what marriage is – a supportive and nurturing partnership between equals. I believe that a ceremony to exchange vows in front of people you love and respect is an important milestone in a relationship that signifies a deeper level of commitment. I certainly felt differently about my relationship and about my partner after I was married and it was a good feeling.
I took my marriage vows seriously and was shocked when I realised my ex didn't. When he left me for the first time after 15 months of marriage, I honestly could not understand what was happening. Did we not say the same things to each other on our wedding day? When he left again after 7 years, I felt the same disbelief, as if it hadn't happened before.
I applied for a divorce not because I no longer believed in marriage, but because I finally lost faith in the man I married. Being lied to and cheated on was not part of the marriage vows. Choosing me over all others was.
Our high divorce rate could serve as prominent evidence that marriage doesn't work. But that would just be too simplistic. What doesn't work is our choice of partners, our lack of communication and shared understanding of what marriage is all about and mostly, women's lack of self-esteem.
It still surprises me by how many couples take on the traditional division of labour in marriage where the man goes out to work and the woman does all the child rearing and house-keeping activities with no help from her partner, all the while loudly complaining about her lot in life. I guess that's not my idea of equality, especially when the husband becomes another person she needs to look after, with no-one looking after her. I wouldn't wish this type of marriage on any couple, gay or straight.
It doesn't surprise me to see huge numbers of women in emotionally and psychologically abusive relationships. Many don't even know it. I didn't know I was in one until several people pointed it out to me – I thought I was so progressive in how my marriage worked.
Emotional abuse is invisible and insidious and it eats you up like a cancer until death seems like the only way out. This kind of marriage is not to be recommended.
I don't believe marriage is broken. I do believe we are not very good at it and don't have a good understanding of what it's all about. I don't believe giving all couples $200 towards marriage counselling is the answer. I do believe teaching children and young people to value themselves and not be at the mercy of a romantic partner will help all relationships thrive.

text: So, here's what I've learned from this forum and here's what I'd like to know still: People seem to really like the Tips Slaughterhouse brine recipe. I'm going to use that. People seem to vary about the brining time from 4 hrs to 24 hrs. However, 4-5 seems to be safe. In terms of cooking temp, other than cooking time, that seems to effect the nature of the skin. A higher cooking temp (325) produces crispier skin. Would a lower temp (250) produce more moist or smokey meat? Also, about how long should I plan on smoking it for? Is it like pork shulder where you're not smoking it for the whole time and you end with just heat and not smoke? Thanks! You will be rewarded with plenty of pictures.

I preordered a "Heritage" (ie, fresh, organic, free range, pedigreed, etc) turkey from the UWS Fairway last week. I picked it up this morning from a truck parked in front of the store and was handed a bird that was frozen solid. The guy at the back of the truck explained that they left the "reefer" on overnight. I returned the turkey and got a fresh, but regrettably non-organic turkey from inside the store for about 1/5 the price. I felt bad, but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much money for frozen meat.
It seems to be a frequent problem with Fairway: nice products screwed up by clueless handling.

We use subversion a great deal but I don't understand why there are people that refuse to use it. The TechRepublic article, Avoid these six common development mistakes, sheds a bit of light:
4. Failing to see the value in a version control system
Most developers are all-too-familiar with this scenario: You roll out a new version of a critical Web application, and your cell phone rings constantly the next morning with cries of site problems.
As long as you're willing to admit that you may have made a mistake or two, a version control system can be your best friend in this situation. By using version control systems, such as CVS, IBM Rational ClearCase, or Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, you can easily revert to the previous version of the application and move it to production. This gives you time to locate the problems within the development environment while the production site is readily available. This beats frantically searching through production code to locate the problem.
In addition, a source control system allows concurrent development so different team members may work with the same code. When the developers check their changes into the system, the changes are merged together.
One reason why some developers don't like version control systems is because it adds a layer to the development process, which means the submission and retrieval of code to and from the source control system can be slow. This extra waiting time can tax the patience of some developers.
Read more…
Hmmm. It might be more of a matter of convenience for some developers not to use or learn how to use a revision control system. Looks like I'll have to write a few wrappers to simplify it.

The 27-year-old dancer-and-actress got engaged to Brooks Laich in August 2015 after two years together, but the couple haven't yet organised many of the details for their big day as they are just "chilling" and enjoying being engaged.
Speaking to reporters at the 'Grease: Live' event in Los Angeles, she said: "We started [wedding planning] and were like, 'You know what? Let's just chill and enjoy the engagement process and the fun of it.'
"So we haven't really got into it really. We're kind of terrible."
But the 'Save Haven' star and the 32-year-old Washington Capitals hockey player are not planning anything too elaborate as they just want a small ceremony.
She added: "It's mainly just friends and family. We're keeping it pretty small and intimate."
Though the couple initially planned to wed this summer, they have now delayed their plans and not yet set a new date.
Julianne joked: "We might get married in 10 years. Who knows?"
Instead of tying the knot, the pair will simply spend the summer "hanging out".
She added to 'Entertainment Tonight': "We finally get to actually be in the same city, so that's nice.
"So we're just chilling at the house, cooking dinner, hanging out by the pool and relaxing."
The former 'Dancing With the Stars' judge recently admitted she won't teach Brooks to dance before their wedding, and suggested he ask her dancer brother Derek Hough instead.
She said: "Oh my goodness, he wants more than anything to dance. He's always wanted to dance before he ever met me, so he's always asking me to teach him and I'm like, 'Ask Derek!' I'm just pawning my brother off to him. So I think Derek and Brooks might have a first dance. That would be interesting, and a sight to see for sure."

Hello! My husband and I are planning to take our 8 year old and 5 year old to Niagra Falls for a day trip. I was thinking to do Journey Behind the Falls, Maid of the Mist, and the Whirlpool Aero Car. My questions are: Will the kids be ok for these activities (I don't want them to be scared)? Is there a certain order that anyone would suggest doing them in? Thank you!

Are you all Canadians coming from Hamilton or Toronto?
Do you have passports or are you staying on the Canada side?
Go Transit is a good alternative to driving and looking for parking. http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/en/default.aspx
There are now 2 boat companies competing at the falls, one on the US side and the other in Canada.
I would do the boat first and the other things if you have time and the kid wants to do them.

I loved the Maid of the Mist boat ride! Journey Behind the Falls looks interesting, but I would be afraid of the Whirlpool Aero Car, but then, I am a grown up! If you did all three, it seems kinda like "overkill" on the falls. The Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum is fun.
Report Abuse
Tomfuller, we are coming from the US side from OH. Thanks for the comments on the boats! SeaF, thanks for your comments on the Aero Car - is it open (not enclosed) - I might agree that it might be scary if that is the case! Also, thanks for the Ripley's idea!

We also do all 4 have passports - thanks!

Michelle... Here is a suggested agenda for a day trip to Niagara...
Drive and park at Goat Island on the US side.($10) walk along the rapids to the park ticket office and purchase Niagara USA Discovery Passes (adult $36 Kid $29 under 6 Free) ...
The pass includes Trolley around park, Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, Adventure Theatre, Aquarium, Discovery Center... the Maid and Cave are must Do attractions, the others are good if you have time... by then, it may be lunch time... there is a restaurant called Top of the Falls in the park and a Hard Rock Cafe near the bridge...
I would then load up in the car and cross the Rainbow bridge into Canada and drive along the scenic road along the Falls... there are public lots along that route or you could drive it and park later...
There are three fun things for your group on the Canada side... Near the Falls is Clifton Hill... if you park there, wander up the Hill for shops, kiddie attractions, mini golf, museums, rides and arcades... touristy yet kids love it...
Down the parkway is the Butterfly conservatory... if you have never been to one, the kids will love it...
The Whirlpool Aero car rides above the Niagara Gorge giving a dramatic view of the water below... Your kids MAY be too young to really appreciate this...
Finally, there is Journey behind the Falls... Compared to Cave of the Winds, it is just OK and consists of watching water from a tunnel...
That is a full day covering all the main attraction plus a few more... Have Fun

Thanks so much for the itinerary garyt22! I appreciate it so much! We are all looking forward to it!

I first went to Niagara when I was 9 with my parents and we did all the activities you mentioned. I was fine with all of them except the Aero Car over the Whirlpool.
I happened to be in the first seat with nothing but the open cage between me and the whirlpool and was very frightened as it crossed over the whirlpool. That was the first time I realized I had a fear of heights and am prone to vertigo in those situations.
Report Abuse
Clicked too soon.
I think the Aero Car itself has changed since I was a kid - as I said, it was a metal cage back then. But your kids might still be a little young for it.
Report Abuse
Thanks so much for the replies! I am also a bit confused now, as I am seeing that the Top of the Falls restaurant (doing lunch there) is on the NY side - is Maid of the Mist on the Canada side? Also, is Cave of the Winds on the Canada or NY side? Just want to get the best view of the falls. Thanks!
Report Abuse
Cave of the Winds is on the NY side. It's a boardwalk that practically goes underneath the Bridal Veil Falls on the NY side and is a lot of fun. It's my favorite Niagara attraction. The Journey Behind the Falls is a similar concept -- you go thru' a tunnel and exit onto a platform very close to the horseshoe falls.
I know Maid of the Mist is on the Canadian side, but I have read here on Fodor's that it also leaves from the NY side as well.
You don't need to go to a tower to get a good view of the falls. You will see them up close and personal from both sides. And you really should try to see them from both sides - the views are different, but both are impressive. In NY you can walk along the rapids and stand inches away from both the Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe Falls.
The last time I was there a few years ago we stayed in a falls view room at the Marriott on the Can. side. While it was nice to see the falls from that vantage point, it's not necessary. IMO, the best views are up close, when you can actually feel the spray and feel like more than a distant observer.
Report Abuse
Maid of the Mist is on the U.S. side only. Hornblower Tours has replaced MOTM on the Canadian side with 2 brand new 700 passenger boats that have washrooms and concessions and have online ticketing. They are offering early morning and night time cruises to see the illumination and fireworks from the boats.
Report Abuse
Just a correction... as of this year, Maid of the Mist is only on the US Side... there is a new boat company on the Canadian Side...
If you follow the one day agenda above,you will start in the US and be right next to the Falls as it goes over...after experiencing the USA Discovery Pass, then you will cross over to Canada to see the Panorama view of the US and Canadian Falls... both sides is the best way and it is easily done in a few hours...
Report Abuse
Oops, sorry for the outdated info. Really surprised that the MOTM has been replaced in Canada. It was an institution since I was a kid.

A key to understanding our inheritance within the Kingdom of God, we must first understand it is not about joining a particular church or denomination or even calling our self a "Christian". Jesus never referred to His disciples as "Christians". It certainly has nothing to do with being "religious" ether. It has everything to do with understanding that we are citizens of a Kingdom established and ruled by God, which will endure forever. As Kingdom Citizens, we have legal rights to the government. The reason so many of us receive so little from God is because we do not recognize ourselves as citizens of the Kingdom, we don't understand our rights as citizens of the kingdom and therefore and we lack the confidence or boldness to ask. Kingdom citizenship is a spiritual reality, but it is also needs to be a mental reality to.

Gathering of the Vibes 2010
Contributing Writer : Garret K. Woodward [ TheRFW.com/blog/Garret ]
"These days they don't play my music anymore…"
Under the daunting mid-Atlantic sun' guitarist Scott Tournet (Grace Potter/Blues and Lasers) spoke these words of truth so too often lost into the cracks of society. It seems the ultimate battle between quality vs. quantity has left the latter victorious across the current musical landscape. Scavengers of passion and pursuit of the perfect note have combed through the rolling hills and open prairies' coming up with handfuls of hopeful pockets of refuge. Amid these said places' Gathering of the Vibes has remained a saving grace within the northeast offerings.
Four days had come and gone in the blink of an eye' and all I had to remember it were pages of chicken-scratch notes and delirious saturated memories of unforgettable encounters' musical duets' and hopes of a successful journey back next year. It is a curious place for all' a magical place for many and a sacred place for a lucky few. And though Tournet stated the truth by saying' "These days they don't play my music anymore…"' at least we have Bridgeport' Connecticut every summer to justify the pursuit of pure intent and shared community within music.
- Garret K. Woodward, Gathering of the Vibes 2009
Once again, the greatest festival on the east coast (sorry Bonnaroo, but I will take cooler temperatures, shade, a beach with crisp swimming, and Furthur any day) will be touching down in Bridgeport, Connecticut for a weekend extravaganza (July 29 – Aug. 1) anxiously awaited each summer.
Celebrating its 15th year, Gathering of the Vibes will feature headliners Furthur (Friday), Primus (Saturday), and Damian Marley & NAS (Sunday). Licking their chops beforehand will be Umphrey's McGee, Rhythm Devils w/Keller Williams, Jimmy Cliff, Martin Sexton, Dark Star Orchestra, Assembly of Dust, Robert Randolph & the Family Band, and Galactic amid an endless array of talent stretching the course of four nights.
So, grab your dancing shoes, your youthful exuberance, and head down to the Long Island Sound for a once-a-year experience few and far between within the music scene.

Erin Furtak worked as a high school biology and earth science teacher in the public schools on the west side of Denver, and has experiences in many other venues of education, including middle school, administration of professional development, and curriculum design. After getting involved with a national research project where she designed and implemented computational science assessments, Furtak decided to pursue a PhD so that she could have an impact on science teaching and learning beyond her own classroom. She studied curriculum and teacher education in the School of Education at Stanford University, writing a dissertation about teachers� enactment of inquiry-based science lessons in middle school. She then received the competitive German Chancellor Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to study alongside educational researchers in Germany, and spent 18 months living and doing postdoctoral research on middle school instruction in Berlin and Kiel. Furtak is now assistant professor of education specializing in science education at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Her struggles to successfully implement inquiry-based teaching methods inspired her to pursue a career in educational research to make reforms more attainable for science teachers.

Success Is the Best Revenge Trailer (1984)
26 May 1984 91 mins
Alex Rodak (Michael York) is a Polish director in exile in London with his family, which includes an older teenage son Adam (Michael Lyndon) who is struggling with an identity crisis, his wife (Joanna Szerzerbic), and another son. Rodak is in the throes of putting together a major show about Poland and the politics of exile at a West End theater. His single-minded determination to succeed causes him to take advantage of others, and because of his need for backing, he turns to a low-life businessman (John Hurt) to bail him out. His wife is anything but happy about his behavior and dislikes this last decision even more. This is an interesting study of how a father and son become alienated in a conflict between cultural identity and its exploitation.

La Grotta Ratings and Reviews
Made note that I am Vegan. Computer at check-in even showed 1 Vegan. Waiter had ZERO clue our table had a Vegan, nor could he answer any questions about egg/dairy/cream, suggestions for meals. "Uhh...uh....." (his answers). Additionally, he continued to offer dairy items.
La Grotta was an excellent place for a romantic birthday celebration! The food was excellent. Our servers were on top of everything - great recommendations. I had flowers delivered in advance and our table was set up and ready when we arrived. I'll be back the next trip to Atlanta.
We had a lovely evening on the patio. Great food, service, wine. Every menu choice was excellent including a very generous lobster dish. La Grotta makes any meal a memorable occasion. We appreciate the consistency and quality, and we have been enjoying great meals at La Grotta for many, many years.
Best of ALL the REST- This Iconic 39 year old restaurant simply never fails- from your 1st greeting walking in to a great cocktail to exemplary service -Spectacular Wine List- freshly procured dishes and-quality without compromise. It does not get any better in Atlanta. Considered one of the best restaurants not only in this region, but the entire USA- this is a MUST!
This restaurant is a very special place. Tucked away in a residential building yet it is truly a gem of a place. The wait staff is very attentive and experienced. They only added to the experience
The food was outstanding. Each dish we had was prepared to perfection and so enjoyable
La Grotta kills it on every front: lovely romantic atmosphere, attentive waiters, absolutely delicious food, beautiful environment, great wine selection... what more could you ask for? They offer perfect seating for date nights as an added bonus. I've been here twice now and will definitely be returning. Would rate 10/5 stars if possible.
We celebrated our anniversary at La Grotta on Saturday evening and the experience was one of the most enjoyable I've ever had. The food and wine were oustanding and the ambience and service quality greatly enhanced our experience. I can say with certainty that we will definitely be back.
The ambiance was fantastic and the quality of our meal was exceptional.
Unfortunately the level of service was not up to the same standards. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly at first however was absent during the rest of our meal. It seemed as though he was more interested with taking care of others who appear to have been frequent diners. During the course of our meal he passed our table a number of times without acknowledging us or asking how things were or if we needed anything. We had to ask to order our dessert from another waiter.
We frequent a number of exceptional restaurants for business and pleasure and have been accustomed to having the service on par with the quality and reputation of the restaurant and that's why our experience was such a surprise.
This was our first time at La Grotta and we're willing to give it another chance . The quality of our meal and atmosphere is worth another opportunity, however we hope to have a different experience with the service.

Wasim Jaffer hit his 10th Test half-century as India extended their second innings lead over Pakistan to 301 runs on day four at Kolkata.
Misbah-ul-Haq made a career-best 161 not out as Pakistan added 98 to their overnight total, but only Mohammad Sami (38) offered any support as Younus Khan's team were bowled out for 456.
Part-time spinner VVS Laxman broke the defiant 91-run stand between Sami and Misbah when the number eight holed out to Jaffer at mid-off.
Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh wrapped up his 20th five-for with the wickets of Shoaib Akhtar (duck) and Danish Kaneria (duck) before Jaffer (56) then picked up where he left off in first innings.
The first innings double-century maker put on 75 for the fall of the first wicket with Dinesh Karthik (28).
Despite both openers falling to leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, Mahendra Singh Dhoni (28 not out) and Sourav Ganguly (24 not out) put India in complete control of the match, closing on 141-2.
The hosts won the first Test in Delhi by six wickets and have the chance to seal the series with a speedy declaration on a deteriorating pitch on Tuesday.
They won the One-Day International series 3-2 in November and have dominated so far in Kolkata.
Watch all the action from a critical final day live on Sky Sports 2 from 4.30am on Tuesday.

Their other location near Costco is gonna remain open but this place is packing it in. I blame the whole let's build a new shopping center right next to this other shopping center syndrome so prevalent in this neck of the woods.
The sports bar and the Boston Market seem to still be doing okay but even the dollar store bounced to Lansdale.
I will miss this place and plan to go there a few more times while I still can. They are now closed on mondays which I will have to also keep in mind. /sigh.

MS-51 Interpretive Geothermal Gradient Map of ColoradoE-mail this product to a friend
The Interpretive Geothermal Gradient Map of Colorado depicts the change in temperature with depth below the Earth's Surface throughout Colorado. Geothermal gradient values quantify the depth-temperature relationship used in evaluating geothermal resource potential. Geothermal gradient data are one of several types of data that indicate the quality of geothermal resources in an area. Other data types that are useful in assessing geothermal resources include geothermal heat flow, geothermometry, geophysical data (electrical, magnetic, magnetotelluric, gravity, remote sensing), and shallow-depth ground temperature measurements. This publication compiles geothermal gradient data from several sources. These include past CGS geothermal publications, national and global heat flow databases, and Colorado oil, gas and CO2 well data. Despite the abundant data used to create this map, the data points are distributed irregularly throughout the state. Some map areas lack significant data control and, therefore, are for geothermal resource exploration, especially when used in conjunction with other types of geological, geophysical, and hydrogeological data. This ZIP file contains three map plates, two report documents, a geothermal gradient database, and the native Geographic Information System (GIS) geospatial data files that the interpretive geothermal gradient maps and projected temperature-at-depth maps were created from. Digital PDF download. MS-51D.

Hammered at Arsenal and destroying Man United - 5 key games in Chelsea's title triumph
After Chelsea claimed a second Premier League title in three years, we look at five key matches behind their success under Antonio Conte.
Chelsea's fifth Premier League title triumph was confirmed on Friday as they dispatched West Brom after overcoming some stubborn resistance at The Hawthorns.
The 1-0 victory ensured the Blues' lead at the top over Tottenham is insurmountable and means they can celebrate being champions of England for the sixth time in their history.
Antonio Conte's side have led from the front for so long their success has had an air of inevitability for some months, although the Italian's tricky start to life in England should not be forgotten.
There have been many crucial steps on the road to glory but we've narrowed things down to five pivotal matches.
A devastating first-half display from Arsenal at Emirates Stadium propelled the Gunners into an early title challenge and left Chelsea fans feeling wretched.
Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil all scored before the break to leave the visitors winless in three games and with an eight-point deficit to early leaders Manchester City after only six matches.
It seems counterintuitive to choose a defeat like this as a vital moment in a title win, but this game proved to be the final straw for Antonio Conte's experiment with a back four.
For the next game away to Hull City, the Italian reverted to the 3-4-3 set-up that brought him such success with Juventus. Chelsea won that game 2-0, and every match afterwards until January 4.
It hurts a lot to be dropping points again but we must stand up strong and learn from our mistakes.— Cesc Fàbregas Soler (@cesc4official) September 17, 2016

Coaster Brakes OK for Winter?
This is probably a stupid question, but are coaster brakes OK for winter use? The concept of winter is still relatively new for me. I grew up in Florida where winter is a myth told by bitter transplants from northern states. Or at least I thought it was a myth until I moved to Illinois. :innocent:
I think coaster brakes are ideal for winter cycling. They are reliable regardles of the wheather and do not need any maintenance. And of course on slippery road it's safer to have a good rear brake. At least that is my experience. When I lived in Northern Finland the temperature was as low as -30 C and my bike's coaster brake never failed. That bike was a single speed.
Coaster brakes are dumb in any kind of weather...perhaps even worse in cold weather. Unless you just like to skid, a coaster brake is useless for actual control. There's a reason you only see them on cheap bikes. Hand actuated brakes on the front and rear whether rim or disc offer much more control and modulation.
A rear brake, at it's best, offers only about 20% of the braking power of a bike. If you only have a rear coaster brake, that means that 80% of your braking power is nonexistent. To make matters worse, braking...whether on the front or rear...transfers weight to the front wheel. This lifts the rear wheel and makes it more prone to locking and skidding. A sliding tire has even less braking power than a rolling wheel so you've cut the braking power down even more. Might as well just Fred Flintstone it to stop the bike. It'd be more effective.
Leave the coaster brakes on the Hellmart specials. Use something that at least gives you a chance to stop the bike.
cyccommute... now tell us how you really feel. ;)
I was just thinking of getting a cheap Dahon Boardwalk for winter and it uses coaster brakes. Another option is the slightly more expensive one that has hand brakes.
I trust cyccommute is right he is obviously bigger than me ;-). What I told was my experience I used to bike to school year round in Northern Finland and later to work. I guess it is different to control a bike using coaster brakes than using hand operated brakes.
I've ridden snow and ice with front and rear hand brakes and a fixed gear with a front brake. In my experience relying heavily on a front brake on ice and hardpacked snow risks locking the front wheel and going down (although if you have beefy tires with plenty of traction this is probably not as much of an issue on hardpacked snow). If the snow is really bad you're really not going to be going so fast to need more than the rear very often.
Unless you have studded tires (and outside of very modest limits, even if you do) using the front brake on ice is likely to send you down. A bike is stable even if the rear brake is locked.
Consequently, the lack of a front brake, while it does adversely impact stopping distance in the summer, is much less of a problem during the winter. A front hand brake and rear coaster brake would be a good combination for year-round use.
But coaster brakes can only be applied at certain crank positions and only by back pedaling. Your feet and body are not allowed to move as needed for shifting weight to avoid having the wheel slide out from under you. With hand brakes your feet can be in many different positions and your hips and body can follow to adjust your balance. With coaster brakes you are locked into one place and must stay there until you have slowed or stopped.
theres no medium with coaster brakes, its hot or cold with them, IE locked wheel no braking at all. handbrakes all the way, and for the record for winter i hate rim brakes, discs all the way.
Cyccommute Your arguments sound quite theoretical to me. In real winter with snow and temperatures around -15C -30C, roads ploughed if you are lucky you dont ride 50km/h you dont need the same stopping power as at the Tour de France.
When you need to stop the bike using coaster brakes you just do it, it is quite automatic you dont start to wonder how your feet are (Are your hands always on brake levers?). I learned it as a child and learned to keep my balance while braking Im sure anyone can learn it.
That sticks around for 7 or 8 weeks and is added to on a nearly weekly basis? In ice sheets 12" to 18" (30cm to 45 cm) deep with ruts down to the pavement and not necessarily linear? Where you can go from packed snow (pretty easy to ride on) to glare ice in a matter of a few feet?
I assure you that I have plenty of experience riding on snow and ice without benefit of plowing and in cold temperatures. I also have enough experience with coaster brakes to know that they aren't of much use unless you are 10 years old and trying to lay down skids. That's why I gave up on them when I was about 10 years old.
I also have enough experience with braking in marginal conditions (mountain biking since 1983) to know that well modulated hand operated brake beats an on-off brake like a coaster brake in all conditions.
Quite impressive winter you have there! You have much harsher winter conditions than we have in Southern Finland. Im convinced that you have enough experience to back up your arguments.
I agree whit what you said: well modulated hand operated brake beats an on-off brake like a coaster brake in all conditions..
Coaster brakes are a compromise ease of use for some people (you can have your warm mittens on and still operate the brake), maintenance free (may be a good point in winter conditions no cables to freeze), but less stopping power. But there is stopping power enough to be adequate in winter conditions.
I used coasters my first winter without trouble, but then again I didn't move very fast on that cruiser. Disks are ideal. Disks and studs.
For the riding I do, normally around 15 mph, give or take a bit, coaster brakes work just fine. Better, in fact, than the crap brakes on my $100 mountain bike, which were getting downright scary when it was stolen.
I havent ridden a coaster brake since i was about ten, but the ability to move your feet shouldn't have that much of an effect on being able to balance with a locked rear wheel. It's nice having a front brake and it would be a good idea to have it with the coaster brake, but if your not time trialing it to work you generally won't need more stopping power than the rear can provide and there will be nothing wrong with having a non hand brake on the rear.
A word of warning
I would strongly recommend against using coaster brakes in sub-freezing temps. They won't last long.
You see, in internal gear hubs without a coaster brake, the gears are lubricated by oil.
In IGHs with inbuilt coaster brake, the whole thing is lubricated with a grease that can stand high temperatures.
Use simple logic: will the high-temperature grease be ideal for low temperatures? Of course not.
So if you are regularly using your bike in -10 to -20 degrees celsius, the grease will work poorly, and your gears will wore out quickly.
I once hade a Shimano nexus with coaster brake that started to work badly in it's first winter. At the shop they said that it was completely worn out and had to be replaced.
If you however go with IGH with coaster brake, then make sure that you pull it apart and grease it often, like one time before the winter, and one time during winter.

Using a mask in GIMP
This is fairly straight forward, but there could be someone out there not quite sure of how to use masks, so this is for that person!
First off open a new canvas and paste the photo you want to use.
Next reduce the opacity of your photo layer (this helps you see where your mask edges are) you need to open the mask you want to use and copy and paste it onto your photo layer (reduce the size of it to fit if you need to using image>scale layer)
Now you need to highlight the mask layer and right click. Click on alpha to selection and you should see white 'walking ants' around the mask egdes
Highlight your photo layer then click edit>cut
Click edit>paste, then layer>new layer. Your clipped mask should now be layered above your mask layer.
Finally delete your original layer and mask layer
Re: Using a mask in GIMP
I have a question about using masks with white backgrounds. Sometimes the background is white and the mask part is black instead of vice versa. Is there any way to color that kind of mask in Gimp or is it just not possible.
For example: Well, it's not letting me post a link so I guess I can't show an example.
Re: Using a mask in GIMP
Not quite sure what you mean by the background. The mask shouldn't have a background.

For America's baby boomers, a generation weaned on Jack LaLanne, shaped by Jane Fonda videos and sculpted in the modern-day gym, too much of a good thing has consequences, says the New York Times.
Encouraged by doctors to continue to exercise three to five times a week for their health, a legion of running, swimming and biking boomers are flouting the conventional limits of the middle-aged body's abilities, and filling the nation's operating rooms and orthopedists' offices in the process.
They need knee and hip replacements, surgery for cartilage and ligament damage, and treatment for tendinitis, arthritis, bursitis and stress fractures. The phenomenon even has a name in medical circles: boomeritis.
- Led by baby boomers, loosely defined as the 78 million Americans born from 1946 to 1964, sports injuries have become the number two reason for visits to a doctor's office nationwide, behind the common cold, according to a 2003 survey by National Ambulatory Medical Care.
- A Bureau of Labor Statistics study said infirmities associated with the athletic activities of middle-aged adults were the source of 488 million days of restricted work in 2002.
- When the Consumer Product Safety Commission examined emergency-room visits in 1998, it discovered that sports-related injuries to baby boomers had risen by 33 percent since 1991 and amounted to $18.7 billion in medical costs.
"Boomers are the first generation that grew up exercising, and the first that expects, indeed demands, that they be able to exercise into their 70s," says Dr. Nicholas A. DiNubile, a Philadelphia-area orthopedic surgeon.
"But evolution doesn't work that quick. Physically, you can't necessarily do at 50 what you did at 25. We've worn out the warranty on some body parts. That's why so many boomers are breaking down. It ought to be called Generation Ouch."
