Alex posted a topic in LG webOS SmartwatchSo did you guys see that smartwatch calling that Audi at CES? Turns out it's openwebos! Exclusive: The hottest smartwatch of CES isn't running Android Wear — it's Open webOS LG and Audi's smartwatch collaboration is the most desirable wearable of CES 2015, and while the carmaker says it's just a prototype, the device offers a tantalizing glimpse of future LG wearables. Or at worst an agonizing look at a beautiful watch we'd love to own. We tracked down the Audi/LG watch — still officially nameless, by the way — in Las Vegas today, and we can exclusively reveal that it's not running Android Wear as originally believed. In fact, it's packing completely different software based on LG's Open webOS. Source: http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-audi-watch-android-wear-webos
Alex posted a topic in LG webOS Smart TV DiscussionWebOS 3.5 is set to be shown off at LG's booth at CES 2017 in Las Vegas. No word yet on when, or if, it will roll out to existing smart TV models, but it will definitely ship with still unannounced new smart TVs slated to launch next year. SOURCE: http://social.lge.co.kr/newsroom/he/lg_webos_1218/ https://www.slashgear.com/lg-webos-3-5-wants-to-make-watching-tv-more-magical-20468045/
Alex posted a topic in LG webOS Smart TV DiscussionLG to launch next version of WebOS 2.0 for smart TVs at CES in January The company plans to launch the next version of its smart TV platform at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show. LG says the latest version of WebOS improves on the features first introduced last year by giving viewers access to a wider variety of 4k ultraHD streaming options and making the platform faster overall. It also comes equipped with a new "My Channels" app that allows users to customize their favorite broadcast, cable or set-top box channels. "By updating webOS with new and smarter features, users will experience a next-generation Smart TV platform that's simpler, easier and more intuitive than ever before," LG vice president In-kyu Lee, said in a statement "The webOS 2.0 platform is another example of LG's commitment to taking a leadership role in the next generation TV market with an innovative Smart TV solution." LG introduced WebOS at last year's CES and has since sold more than five million televisions powered by the platform. Source: http://mashable.com/2014/12/17/lg-webos-smart-tvs/ webOS 2.0 will make LG's smart TVs much faster next year The usual pre-CES flood of information is under way, and LG is announcing details of the webOS 2.0 package its smart TVs will ship with in 2015. Improving on the menus we already dug at last year's show, LG says that the new versions will improve mainly in speed, with power-on boot time reduced by 60 percent, and a 70 percent improvement when switching from the home screen to YouTube. Sluggish, unresponsive apps have been a major pain point for "smart" TVs since their introduction, so it's good to see that addressed. One thing that will remain an issue however, is that the 2.0 upgrades will require a new display, as we haven't heard about an upgrade for existing sets (or other platforms like smartwatches, or even phones). According to LG, the first webOS sets were quite popular, with over five million sold through eight months. If you have one of the new ones, it will include a new "My Channels" app that puts user's favorite TV channels right in the TV menu. Last year's TVs included "Universal control" from the Magic Remote LG ships with each one, and now it's built into the UI so it's easier to stay in one menu. Also upgrades is an Input Picker that recognizes whatever devices are plugged in for easier use, as well as 4K streaming support (on the appropriate TVs) for Amazon and Netflix. If everything holds to form, we should hear more about super size, high res displays with new tech (like quantum dots) over the next few days, before the usual CES flood of information once we hit Las Vegas in early January -- see you then.

What type of children does CRCC serve?
CRCC serves children with medically fragile conditions, developmental delays, and other physical challenges. Some common medical needs include: Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, feeding disorders (tube feedings), seizure disorders, and brain injuries. Children with behavioral disorders and mental health concerns are also served in specially designed programs.
What age ranges of children do you serve?
Our clientele range in age from 6 weeks to 21 years old.
Can my child's sibling also attend?
CRCC accepts siblings of children with special needs, up to about 15% of our total enrollment. These children are role models for their special needs peers. We accept siblings from 6 weeks of age until they begin kindergarten. At that time, other arrangements for before and after school care must be made.
Can my child attend only on breaks and holidays?
Yes! CRCC has many children who need care only on days that schools are not in session. We welcome breaks and holidays clients, but they do need to be currently enrolled and reservations made in advance.
Does CRCC provide drop-in care?
CRCC is able to provide intermittent respite to families with some advance notice. However, all children must be currently enrolled before respite care can be scheduled.
Do you take sick children?
CRCC is not a "sick" childcare center. Children with contagious illnesses are not allowed to attend until their symptoms have improved, or until he/she has physician approval to return to childcare.
How do I enroll my child?
Contact the Client Care Coordinator at (402) 895-4000 for information about enrollment in CRCC's programs for medically fragile and/or developmentally delayed children and our behavioral health services.
Do you have a waiting list to get in to your programs?
From time to time, certain classrooms may reach capacity, but every effort is made to assist families who need CRCC's services. With some flexibility and an occasional short wait, most families are able to access our services when they need them.
What are CRCC's hours?
Our Northwest location is open from 6:30am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, and our Weekend Program runs most weekends from Friday at 6:00pm to Sunday at 11:00am.
Our Southwest location is open 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday.
What curriculum do you use?
Our curriculum is based off the Creative Curriculum model with adaptation to meet the unique needs of the children we serve. Within the curriculum, the preschool classrooms are able to focus on kindergarten readiness skills in preparation for school. In addition to Creative Curriculum, we offer a life skills program for our school age children to promote independence and social skills.
How are classrooms arranged?
Classrooms are divided into age groups which include infants, toddlers, preschool and school age. Following the Creative Curriculum model, the classroom is arranged with centers that give children an opportunity to explore individually and as a group. Each classroom is also supplied with materials that are developmentally appropriate for that age group and foster continued growth and learning.
What are CRCC's staff qualifications?
Nurses are required to hold an active RN or LPN license in the state of Nebraska. Our teaching staff meet Nebraska child care licensing requirements, with most of our Lead Teachers having the equivalent of a CDA, or an associate's or bachelor's degree in special education, early childhood education, or another equivalent educational field. Our behavioral staff exceeds the minimum qualifications for the positions. All of our staff is required to complete an intensive on-the-job training program, specifically tailored to the services that CRCC provides.
Are staff backgrounds thoroughly investigated before they are allowed to work with children?
Absolutely. This is a State requirement and we strive to be very thorough in performing such background checks. Each applicant is screened through the State of Nebraska's Child Abuse/Neglect Registry and Sex Offender Registry. We also check the State of Nebraska's Nurses' Aide Registry for action against one's certification. For nurses and therapists, licenses are checked for disciplinary action. Additionally, police reports are obtained on each employee upon hire. Each applicant also has at least two references checked before hire.
What does "respite" mean?
To CRCC, the term "respite" means "relief." Therefore, most of the services CRCC offers provide the caregiver relief from the responsibilities of caring for individuals with chronic physical or mental disabilities. This can be a few hours during the weekday program, every day or during the Overnight, Weekend program.
"Respite" care is also a formal term describing intermittent care paid for by some Nebraska state programs. There is a distinction, in this case, between respite care and child care. Respite is a break away from caregiver duties, while child care is what the family members needs when at work or attending school. Many clients are eligible for a certain amount of "respite care" hours that CRCC can provide, depending on the family situation and funding program.
Do you provide respite to foster children?
If a foster child qualifies to be enrolled in a CRCC program based on their special needs, then they would be eligible for respite through CRCC with appropriate authorization.
How can I schedule weekend and/or overnight care for my child?
All weekend care must be scheduled in advance. Children must be currently enrolled, or we will need to complete an intake prior to reservations being accepted. To reserve care, parents/guardians need to call the Weekend Program Manager @ (402) 496-1000, by Thursday of the week prior to needing care.
What are your rates and what type of funding is available?
CRCC offers many services and the rates vary depending on the program utilized. Our Client Care Coordinator meets with each family to assess their child's needs, and provides specific information about the rates that apply.
Children's Respite Care Center has contracts with the Nebraska Health and Human Services in order to provide a variety of funding options for families. Options for funding include:Nebraska Medicaid; Waiver programs; Title XX; Insurance; League of Human Dignity, Medically Handicapped Children's Program; Lifespan Respite; CRCC's Subsidy Program; and Private Pay.
Does CRCC offer payment plans?
Yes, CRCC strives to be fair and flexible in working out payment plans. Our Client Care Coordinator and Billing Administrators work with families seeking different payment options.Credit cards or pre-payment are the preferred methods of payment for those clients who utilize our Patient Assistance Program.
Can I arrange a tour of the center?
We encourage you to do so! Simply contact the Client Care Coordinator at (402) 895-4000 to arrange the tour.
Who do I talk to if I want more information?
Our Client Care Coordinator is available at (402) 895-4000 to answer your questions or to initiate enrollment into CRCC's programs for medically fragile, developmentally delayed and/or children who need additional behavioral support.

Hello, Hethir! My chiropractor put me on a several supplements to help me conceive, one of them is Mediherbs Vitex. I have been taking it for about 5 or six weeks and after a 93 day cycle I got a positive OPK. I asked my chiropractor if I should stop now, and he said not until a confirmed pregnancy test. I wanted to get your opinion. Also, when I do stop, do I need to wean myself off? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

How Your Phone is Keeping You Stuck
I am never bored anymore. In any moment of down time, my device calls out to me to check in and see what's happening on social media and email.
This is great from one standpoint: I don't have to be bored anymore. And who likes being bored? Certainly not me.
It's not great from another: what do we lose when we lose the ability to be bored? Even more disturbing: what happens when we no longer allow ourselves to feel the more difficult feelings?
Technology is powerful but it can be a distraction.
Your best work usually comes from difficult places and challenging feelings. Boredom, dissatisfaction, tension, longing for more, angst over where you are versus where you want to be. These are all feelings that you need to feel. These are feelings that push you toward something bigger than yourselves.
Your best work may be on the other side of these feelings.
You need to feel the tension— finding your passion and your true work may depend on it.[Tweet this]
The more you use your technology to distract yourself from difficult places, the more it may be keeping you stuck in those very places.
I can't stop wondering what would happen if I never allowed myself to feel uncomfortable? It's so easy to check twitter instead. What happens when a whole culture and society looses the ability to push through difficult places? What happens to our sense of purpose? What happens to our creativity and art?
Instead of doing work worth doing, we play on our phones.
Your technology use may be part of what is keeping you stuck.[Tweet this]
Your phone use may be a coping mechanism — even an addiction. Your best work might be on the other side of the difficult feelings that you don't allow yourself to explore. You may need to let yourself feel them. You may need to move toward them and dig deeper into them. And you may need to turn off your phone, delete apps, or take other measures to help yourself stay with those feelings.
In the comments, I'd love to hear your thoughts about your technology and difficult feelings. How do you avoid overuse of your technology? How do you know how much is too much? Share your thoughts.
There Are 7 Comments On This Post.
For me it's not so much my phone, but rather the internet. Netflix, reddit, tumblr, they all seem to suck up more of my free time than I would like. I have all these ideas and ambitions and then I open my computer and they are just gone. Definitely something I am becoming more aware of and trying to deal with!
This post really resonated with me, Dan. I decided to experiment with the idea of boredom, and I wrote a blog post about it. I linked to your post and your website. Thank you for another insightful and thought-provoking post! Here's the link to my post if you want to check it out: http://becauseilived.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=243&action=edit&message=6&postpost=v2
What a great article – for sure I recognise I use my phone often as a distraction. Anything but sit with the feelings. You're right. Thanks for the idea to turn off..
Thanks for reading Debbie!

I didn't know my Chromebook could do that!
I was skeptical when I first purchased a Chromebook in place of my dying Macbook because I didn't trust it would be an adequate replacement. But after years of use, I can't imagine dropping thousands of bucks on a Mac or Windows laptop when a Chromebook serves the same function. In my three years as a happy Chromebook owner here are some fun things I discovered that might surprise you:
You can work off-line
A popular myth about Chromebooks is they don't work unless you have a wi-fi connection. That's just not true any longer. You can download Google's Gmail Offline App and sync your messages, edit office files, view and save PDF files and listen to music and movies. A lot of Android users prefer this interface, actually, because it's simple to navigate and if you pin it to your taskbar it seems to offer a smartphone-style user experience. If you plan to work offline, it's advantageous to have the latest version of Google Drive installed on your computer as well.
They've outsold Windows laptops and Macs
In August 2015 it was announced by market research firm NPD Group that Chromebooks outsold Windows notebooks for the first time ever. And in 2013 it was reported that Chromebooks outsold MacBooks to commercial buyers in the US. Apple CEO Tim Cook tried to dismiss the successful sales of Chromebooks, calling them "test machines," at an Hour of Code event in New York City on Wednesday. But the data doesn't lie: Chromebooks are favored over iPads in classrooms across the country and the price point makes it a more attractive option to consumers.
You can edit videos and pictures
We love making videos and if you do, too, we recommend the following apps to achieve that on your Chromebook: Filmore is an app designed for beginner video editors; Magisto allows you to create vidoes if you don't have a lot of time to spend on them; WeVideo has a great interface and is designed to do all sorts of things like accessing their database full of audio, graphics and themes you can download making it one of the popular free apps; Pixlr Editor allows you to add layers and effects to your images and Video Cutter has three different modes to cut your video!
It comes with Goodies
If you head on over to the Chromecast Offers site, you can get the following: two free months of Sling TV with Chromecast; $6 in play store credit, a 90-day trial to Google Play Music and three free movies for Chromebook.
You can Skype if Google Hangout is not your thing
While you can't run Skype directly from your Chromebook, Google created a tool to allow you to Skype anyway. The App Runtime for Chrome (Beta) allows you to run your Android apps on Chrome OS. You can get started here.
Once you launch it, a screen will allow you to import a Skype file or any other .apk file for that matter. Launch it and it should be ready to use. It does take a little more effort to get it on your Chromebook but it still works and once you download everything Skype will appear in your Chrome launcher so you don't have to go through the entire download process to use the application.

I kinda went ahead and picked some personal summer favorites for this look. I am a huge fan of sheer fabrics and cropped styles for warm weather... but I'm still a layers junky at heart. This look has it all for me: sheers, cropped lengths, stripes, florals, comfort AND layers. Sign me up! I also like mixing trends. Florals and stripes are two easy patterns to layer-up and blend without much effort.
Alright, that does it for the week of the Mad Hatter wardrobe posts. Love it or hate it?
More spring and summer trends to come soon... 'cause I just haven't gotten my fill. Perhaps a little somethin' else for tomorrow morning though. Give ya'll a break from the fashion madness happening in my mind.

Increases image resolution and detail by squashing / compressing the image horizontally by a factor of 1.33x to allow maximum utilisation of the cameras' sensor. Anamorphic lenses therefore require subsequent stretching, in post-production or at projection. Intended for use with shooting at 16:9, bringing the intended output to near a standard 2.35:1 cinemascope wide format with a higher resolution than simply letter-boxing the image in camera. The lens features a built in Rangefinder, for one dial focusing adjustment control.
NOTE: Designed to work exclusively with the SLR Magic HyperPrime CINE 25mm T0.95 III Micro Four Thirds at f2.8 or above and the SLR Magic 50mm f/1.1 E-mount lens in Super35 or APS-C mode only (at f2.8 or above). Compatible Cameras: Micro Four Thirds and E-mount s35 or APS-C. Focus range 4 feet to infinity. May be compatible with other lenses, but would be on a trial and error basis and untested. Front Element Glass of less than 40mm required, and focal range of 25-75mm (estimated).

It's bad enough I'd even take a Norton's Furniture one.
Interesting story. I never realized there were any sightings over Cleveland.
Who are you to call this lady a kook, stillcrazy? Many people believe in angels, so why is believing in ghosts any more absurd?
Well, car insurance is expensive. When you're struggling so hard and have to make a decision between paying the car insurance or eating - you're going to chose your stomach. Obviously, you still have to drive to work to earn those measely pay checks, so you're still going to drive. So to me, it's clearly obvious that the more people struggle, the less people that maintain auto insurance. You can't pay for something that you don't have the money for! Sure, there are buses and public transportation, but we are not all lucky enough to live on bus routes.

Visiting from Australia staying on the UWS. At present we have been eating around the UWS as getting over jetlag, and travelling with a 2 year old.
So far have had some excellant meals.
Kefi- absolutely delicious, meatballs, and fried cod fabulous. Next time I go I think we will just order 5-6 appetizers and bypass the mains. Service, wine was great. Also child friendly, and quick.
Celeste - some of the best ravioli I have tasted. It was loud and squishy, however we got talking to the family at the next table which was nice. The italian wines by the glass were very good.
Planet Sushi - we had the sushi/sashimi for two and thought it was really good. I am curious to taste some of the other sushi places that have been recommended on the boards like haru.
EJ Luncheonette - nice decor food ordinary.
Jimmy's BBQ - fun loud place - cannot really rate the bbq as I have nothing to compare it to. I did like my pulled pork sandwich, however I did not like the candied yams, and I love yams. the collard greens and black eyed peas were nice though. Also it had a frat house atmosphere ( which probably would not appeal to most) however we are tourists and don't have this sort of thing in Sydney. There were some weird green drinks in goldfish bowls that people were drinking I can imagine they were a bit messy after those. I got into the spirit and drank bourbon. It was child friendly which was a bonus.
Boat Basin Cafe - Fantastic location and view. Burger was average. But the beer tasted good with that view.
Couple of questions:
I still have not found a good cappucino/espresso in this area, we are staying w81st, I have had a view starbucks (not a big fan). Also had a Zabars - not fabulous. I am thinking Nice Matin might do an ok one. Is it ok to go there just for coffee? any recs in this area would be great.
Also want to try Mexican - someone has recommended Cilantro are there any other recommendations in this area?
Also Le Cariades the cuban/chinese place what it good to order as I have never eaten cuban before.
H&H Bagels are delicious. I have them for breakfast.
What is the scene with Grom there is a huge line every time I go past or should i just stick with emack & bolio.

The English Grill at Brown Hotel Ratings and Reviews
We enjoyed an excellent meal at the English Grill. The service, by George, was terrific, and the food was very good, although my wife was not totally impressed by the Hot Brown. We found it especially nice that the restaurant kept our leftovers in their refrigerator while we attended a show at the Brown Theater. We'll be back.
We had a group of 8 and were set in a privat room across from the main dining room. The atmosphere was beautiful and we could hear the player piano out in the bar area which added to the elegant ambiance.
Menu options are limited & were different than the menu online (not an issue for our group). The wine list was extensive with the average price per bottle around $50. We tried all of the appetizers: the gnocchi was quite good, the others were fine, all were nice sized portions. The main courses were truly delicious! The steak & duck were my favorites. Desert was also delicious (the highlight was the warm and seasonally spiced bread pudding).
Our server was excellent and ever present in one area of the room or another. He was nearly invisible when not making sure glasses were never empty and plates were quietly removed as they were emptied. It was wonderful to never have to flag down a waiter.
This was my first time eating at the English Grill even though I lived in Kentuckiana for 24 years. My wife and I ate there for our anniversary before going to see a show at the Palace. George was our server and he was incredible. Harold brought food to the table and stopped by to check on us. They were both amazing people and had fantastic stories about the Brown, English Grill, Louisville, and life in general. The manager was very nice and wished us a happy anniversary on multiple occasions. The whole experience was terrific. We had the crab cake appetizer and they were delicious. Of course we both had the Hot Brown for our main course and it was nothing short of amazing. The most perfect comfort food imaginable. Our dessert was a chocolate mousse cake with a chocolate cup on top filled with rum that George lit on fire and the chocolate draped around the cake. One of the coolest things I've ever seen for a dessert. No doubt I would recommend both the English Grill and the Brown Hotel to friends. Everyone made it a wonderful anniversary weekend!!
A must for a Louisville visit! Usually a groupon available
When in Louisville, we always make this the highlight of our trip with friends. The service and food was spectacular. The wine list offered a variety of choices and prices. We started out with a Caesar Salad for the table of 6. Everyone raved about its taste. It incorporates a brown mustard sauce that adds a distinctive taste to the salad making it probably the best Caesar Salad the six of us said we ever tasted. The salmon was moist and melted in your mouth. Others had the halibut, scallops and The Hot Brown, an epicurean turkey delight (enough food for two hearty eaters). I can't even begin to describe the desert but I will try. It is a decadent chocolate that has a liquor in the center that is lit at the table causing the surrounding chocolate to melt into the center crater. If you are a chocolate lover, Don't miss this desert.
The English Grill Manager, J. Troy Ritchie remembered us from our previous visits and stopped by the table to assure everything was perfect. I can't forget our waitress who made this one of our most enjoyable dining experiences.
Excellent food and ambience. Located in the Brown Hotel, a wonderful classic hotel in downtown Louisville. II would have rated it excellent overall except the some of the wait staff later in the evening got very loud and was distracting as we discussed business.
We were greeted by Jennifer the hostess who showed us to our table. She was so kind and friendly. Our serve was Justine. She was absolutely amazing. We ordered cocktails (recommend the Ali's Smash) and for dinner had the Caesar Salad for two prepared at our table by the wonderful Kim Ellen. I don't think I will be able to have another Caesar salad unless it is prepared this way...to die for. I, of course, ordered the hot brown and my boyfriend ordered the salmon. These dishes we exceptional! Also really loved how all the staff came to check on everyone and helped each other out, even the manager was so helpful and tentative. We will definitely be back and maybe next time we will have enough room for dessert 😁
The English Grill did an excellent job Saturday night providing me with a perfect romantic setting for a romantic evening with my now Fiance. They helped out engagement go smoothly and provided extra commodities for the occasion. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was perfect, and the staff were incredible.
The signature dish of the English Grill is suppose to be the Hot Brown. So, I ordered it. A terrible decision on my part. It was the worst Hot Brown I have ever had. It appeared to have been seating under a heat lamp for way too long. The toast was totally mush. The Mornay sauce was not even recognizable. In addition to being burned from sitting under a heat lamp, it was the consistency of poorly prepared instant oatmeal. The bacon was also over-cooked probably due to the heat lamp treatment. The service was as poor as the food despite only three other tables with customers. The whole experience was extremely disappointing!!
The restaurant was not busy. It took over 20 minutes to get our drinks after we ordered them. The waitress, Karen, was not attentive. Our food took forever! We ordered two sides of fries. She brought three. The fries were the more expensive kind. I guess there is a few dollar difference if they put seasoning on the fries! When she brought the bill, I told her about the extra order of fries, which we didn't even eat. She said that she would take it off our tab, but didn't. I was done and wanted to leave, so I paid the $10 for the fries. The food was delicious. We all had Hot Browns. The restaurant and hotel were beautiful.
We went for our 25th anniversary celebration. They brought my meal out and completely forgot my husband's meal . The manager did come over but offered no solution except to prepare another meal for him. He didn't even offer an apology. It really was inexcusable. Our meal was excellent but the service was terrible especially for a $150.
I dined with two family members and it was our first time to The English Grill. The service was exceptional and the food and drink was great. I enjoyed the Kentucky Derby cocktail which was smooth and light. My son drank an Old Fashioned which was good to the last drop. Gluten free options are available. Highlights include the shrimp and grits appetizer and the pork chop entree. Although I could not help but order the traditional Hot Brown, I would suggest ordering a different entree if you do not typically eat heavy, rich meals. There was a pianist playing during our meal that enhanced the beautiful decor of this grand hotel. We hope to return and also stay in the hotel.
I expected to really love this restaurant - but I did not. It is a beautiful space, but noisy. We had a 6:45 reservation on a Saturday, and expected to be able to hear music from the pianist in the lounge area outside the dining room, but though the player was performing enthusiastically when we arrived - soon after we were seated, we never heard him again. He was also not performing when we left at about 8:30pm. Service was poor - slow and inattentive, and at one point late in our meal, my companion and I realized that there was really no one in charge of the dining room. This was after a waiter's helper was replacing water and wine glasses on a round table next to us, and without exception, loudly clanged each glass together before placing them on the table. My guest had a Farmer's Salad and the salmon. The salmon, on a bed of risotto was the star of our meal - quite delicious and a good portion. His salad was mediocre. I had the soup of the day, an "Heirloom tomato and crab meat bisque." It too was quite good - though an extremely small portion. My main was the heralded specialty of the house The Hot Brown. It was dreadful, but in fairness, was not dissimilar to its description. In all of the customer reviews I have read of this restaurant, there was pleasure expressed at the amuse bouche and other added touches to the meal. We were given no amuse bouche, nor any special treats. It was an anniversary, which was noted in our reservation, and there was no note of that whatsoever. No offer of dessert or cocktail. That is not really an element in this review. We do not actually expect such, except that other reviewers point it out and even have photographs of the special touches they received. It was a special occasion meal that failed to deliver on any level.
This is "the place" to get the classic Hot Brown. The food itself was good but it took an hour to get to the table. It was not until after the meal we were given any kind of apology. When paying that much for a nice dinner, and it being a celebration, I had much higher expectations. I feel they should have offered soemthing for the hour long delay.
We celebrated our honeymoon at the Brown Hotel and our dinner in the English Grille was the highlight of the experience! Our server, Kelly, was personable and very well-informed on both menu and wine selections and on local history! The meal was exceptionally well-prepared! We will return for a repeat of the evening!

5 Effective Ways to Minimize Your Pores Apr 17, 2017 by Sarah (Day Styles)
Flawless skin needs to be smooth and vibrant, and it's essential to minimize the appearance of pores. We all want perfect skin and sometimes we go a bit crazy to get it - in a study done by Harris Interactive (sponsored by L'Oreal), 23% of women said that they would give up their favorite cocktails for an entire year just to have smaller pores. Luckily we don't have to sacrifice our Cosmopolitans, instead, here are some great ways to minimize the appearance of pores that are crazy easy, and not just…crazy.
Using a combination of both facial scrubs and chemical exfoliating agents is key to keeping your pores looking small. They help to remove the dead skin cells sitting on the top layer of your skin, which helps to make the opening of the pores look smaller. When you use a chemical exfoliant, it helps dissolve the dirt in your pores, cleaning them out and sending your pesky blackheads running for the hills.
Retinol Treatments
When you use retinol-based skin care products, it helps to get rid of the binding agent that the cells use when they clog your pores. Retinol is a special form of Vitamin A that stimulates skin regeneration, resurfacing and freshening your skin. Using retinol a few times each week will help ensure the skin cells don't stick together and make your pores look larger!
When you expose your skin to UVA and UVB rays, it creates free radicals that bond with your skin causing damage to your proteins. This, in turn, slows down cell production and forcing your skin to work harder (and age faster!) When this happens, the outermost part of the skin called the "stratum corneum" thickens, and the pores on the face become more cavernous and pronounced! Using sunscreen can help prevent that from happening, so be sure to apply a thick layer of protection and reapply over the course of the day.
Wash Effectively
Keeping your face clean is key to reducing the size of your pores. You should always wash your face twice per day (morning and night) and use a pH-balanced cleanser. You can even opt to use a cleansing tool or brush to get a deep clean.
Steam Treatments
Steam helps to remove any built up dirt in the pores. Pour some boiling water into a bowl and add in some fresh rose petals, lavender, pansy, rosemary, basil, and mint, and put your face over it with a towel over your head and the bowl. Stay there for 10-15 minutes as it allows the steam to bring oxygen and moisture to your face while cleansing your pores at the same time for a truly relaxing experience.
Find a simple treatment that works for you and there's no need to give up our favorite drinks just for better-looking skin!

Root Vegetable Puree
Be the first to Write a Review
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 8
To prepare this puree of root vegetables, we rely on a food mill, a manual tool that is a favorite among French cooks. Known in France as a moulin à légumes, it treats food more gently than a food processor. The mill purees and strains ingredients at the same time, producing a perfectly smooth, even texture. When you turn the crank, a rotating blade pushes the food through a perforated disk into a bowl, leaving unwanted fibers and particles behind. Serve the puree alongside our Chicken with 40 Garlic Cloves.
- 7
- 2 1/2 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and
- 1 lb. celery root, peeled and cut
into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup water
- 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Related Recipes
Directions:Put the potatoes, celery root and water in an electric pressure cooker. Cover and cook for 6 minutes according to the manufacturer¿s instructions. Release the pressure according to the manufacturer¿s instructions. Drain the potatoes and celery root.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and cream. Heat until the butter melts and small bubbles form around the edges of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm.
Set a food mill over a large bowl and puree the vegetables in batches. Using a spatula, stir in the cream mixture in two additions, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Serves 8.

Belardi Auto Racing kicks off its USF2000 challenge.
Belardi Auto Racing commenced its quest for the 2014 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship title over the weekend (March 29-30) with two visits to the post-race podium. The French tandem of Nico Jamin and Florian Latorre were drivers to watch throughout the season-opening doubleheader on the Streets of St. Petersburg, finishing third in race one and two respectively, while Daniel Burkett further highlighted the team's talent, securing a top-five finish in Florida.
When Belardi Auto Racing arrived in St. Petersburg for the start of the 2014 USF2000 Championship season, it was focused on one thing...battling for top honors. With the talented trio of Burkett, Jamin, and Latorre getting behind the wheels, it immediately set about doing just that. The drivers and crew were confident things were going as planned entering qualifying, utilizing the two practice sessions to develop the cars for the 1.8-mile concrete-lined street circuit.
The timed run, however, proved to be a somewhat frustrating affair, as the three Belardi racers did not get the true flying lap they desired, placing them deeper in the talented field then hoped. Latorre's No. 14 Latorre Menuiserie/Masm Cogny/Acsent du Sud Ouest/13th Avenue/Stand 21/Bell machine proved quickest among the group with the seventh best time, just edging Burkett in ninth and Jamin in 10th.
Aware that patience and racecraft would be key come race time, the Belardi Auto Racing racers had extra time to plan prior to race one, as severe weather postponed the start for several hours. When the action did get underway in tricky wet conditions, the red Belardi Auto Racing steeds were among those to watch. Leading the team charge was Jamin, with No. 41 Synova/13th Avenue/Stand 21/Bell entry carving its way forward lap after lap. The rookie in the end secured an impressive trip to the post-race celebrations with a third place finish. Burkett likewise showcased his racecraft, making the most of every opportunity to go forward en route to a strong top-five finish. Latorre, meanwhile, was involved in a multi-car fight for positions throughout the 15-lap affair, giving the squad a third top-10 result with a seventh place finish.
"This first USF2000 event in St Petersburg was very exciting for me," commented Jamin. "I really enjoyed racing on the street circuit. I had a difficult qualifying session in the dry, but I was able to score big points in race one in the wet with a drive from 10th to third. Unfortunately, the second race was too short for me because of the first lap crash. I really have to thank my team. We have to keep working very hard to gain some performance on a dry track, but I'm confident about the rest of the season."
"This season, my goal is to fight for the championship title, so, I am not totally satisfied with the results, even if I was on the podium in race two," started Latorre. "My team has done an incredible job the last few weeks to change a lot of things, and I know we will be better and better in the races to come. I can't wait to go racing at Barber. I will be more than ready to fight for the wins."

OK, I have to admit, while I am not a massive advocate of lying to your child, I am partial to the odd white lie. Nothing major. Usually it involves covering up something someone thoughtless someone else has done to make things seem a little better, although of course I know the negatives of parents lying. Because while I do overall believe in telling the truth, I think there are some things that preschoolers just don't need to hear unless you want their brains to fall out of their ears.
And then there is the question of how to get your sproglet to their preschooler vaccinations. Clearly, telling the truth would mean getting absolutely nowhere near the doctor's surgery. And so the little white lie that spilled out of my mouth which I will regret forever more was that we were just going to the doctor's for a routine check up. Which crushingly, my daughter was actually looking forward for. God help her.
And then we walked into the room, and the truth suddenly dawned on her, as within a second, the word vaccination filled the room like a horrible and heavy led balloon.
The silence, which was deafening, was followed by the most soul destroying desperate screaming you had ever heard. Being a "mum", of course…it was my job to restrain my child who now seemed to be on the verge of spontaneously combusting she was having such a god almighty paddy….the sort that makes under toddler tantrum seem like child's play.
And so I obliged, and while knowing that I was doing was was the right thing, I couldn't help feeling like an absolute traitor. And her eyes said it all – that I had hurt her so deeply with my big old fat hairy lie – as they pleaded with me desperately I finally managed to get her in a double arm lock, pinning her fighting legs down with the hands at the same time, and struggling with the notion that at that moment, my daughter not only felt under attack, but also that I was basically an accomplice in it. Kill me now.
This was definitely not a high point in my mum career. And just when I thought things couldn't sink any lower, I forced the leftover Christmas chocolate which I had secretly stashed into my bag for the inevitable (yes, we're still going through them!), which was the most horridly mum guilt laden emotional crutch it felt like she would ever know.
Thankfully, preschoolers are incredibly forgiving and move on fast, but I will never be able to unsee that look in her eyes which bore right into my soul. I'm sorry little E. But how else was I supposed to get you to the doctor's otherwise?
Have you ever told a lie to your children which you regretted to your core? Do share in a comment below.

What Are Those Mysterious 'Earthquake Lights' Popping Up on Social Media?
Scientists have been reporting flashes during quakes since at least the 19th century.
Scientists have been reporting flashes during quakes since at least the 19th century.
The earth quakes. It quakes a lot.
There's one career path that isn't going to be automated anytime soon.
It wasn't even Lincoln, but a small village down the road.
New Zealand's Kaikoura Canyon is now an undersea wasteland following a series of earthquake-induced mudslides.
Called the Ventura-Pitas Point Fault, it's now thought to be capable of producing magnitude 8.0 earthquakes, and even tsunamis.
Poor weather conditions and the remote location of the hotel are making rescue efforts difficult.
Thanks for 15 years of death and disaster, planet Earth! Can't wait to see how we screw you up next.
A magnitude 7.8 earthquake has rocked the Solomon Islands about 42 miles off the coast of Kirakira.
And there could be more to come.
A recent study found that California's San Andreas Fault could actually rupture along its entire 800-mile length.
It's generally believed that hydraulic fracturing is behind the recent spate of earthquakes in regions not usually associated with seismic activity, but the underlying processes are still poorly understood.
Seismologists are warning that the latest earthquake to strike New Zealand could trigger other large earthquakes in the coming days and weeks, but sensationalistic claims of a devastating "mega-quake" are likely overblown.
A magnitude 5.0 earthquake rattled the Oklahoma prairie town of Cushing last night, damaging several buildings and threatening one of the world's largest oil terminals.
Should one slip, it could trigger the other fault to collapse as well, causing an earthquake even larger than the one that struck back in 1989.

Review by LyzzyBee
Bought 05 Jun 2009 - Sensible Bookshop, Hay-on-WyeI had read Guest's book about Second Life a year or so ago and both Matthew and I had wanted to look out for this one, so I was pleased to find it for £1. A wistful and quite shocking - but not sensationalist - description of growing up in various Bhagwan Rajneesh communes, Guest manages to communicate clearly both the dislocating experience of being a child within the movement and the attractions and consolations it had for the adults. A section at the end dealing with how he and his mother tried to resolve their issues was interesting and honest.Quite a sad book, and made more poignant by the fact that Guest actually died a couple of weeks ago, suddenly and unexpectedly. It made this quite difficult to read at times. Matthew's going to add it to his TBR then I'll probably offer it on a bookring at some stage as it is interesting and clear-sighted.

Kahne Wants to Stay in Cup
By: Robbie Mays - @robbiemays | MRN.com on August 11, 2017 | 10:40 P.M. EST
"I started basically Sunday night, Monday talking to some different owners, personnel at different teams and just trying to show that I really want to still be in the Cup Series." (Photo: Getty Images)
BROOKLYN, Mich. - Kasey Kahne made his intentions for 2018 and beyond clear Friday at Michigan International Speedway.
Four days after the official announcement came that he would not return to the seat of the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports after this season, Kahne said he still plans to race next season and continue to do it at NASCAR's top level.
"I want to race here and if there is any opportunity I would love to talk about it," Kahne said. "I started basically Sunday night, Monday talked to some different owners, personnel at different teams and just trying to show that I really want to still be in the Cup Series.
"I really think that I can come up with something good and come up with something that will be fun to be a part of and also try to work hard to make that team better than it's ever been and myself better than I've been."
Kahne's win in last month's Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway ended a 102-race winless streak dating back to Atlanta in August 2014, but it also sparked speculation he may have saved his ride with Hendrick Motorsports.
"I still have that mindset and I really hope that something works out to where I can be in a strong car next year and enjoy racing in this series, because I've actually enjoyed it for so long and I've lived so many of the highs of the Cup Series," Kahne said.
Kahne says that while he's not running for Hendrick Motorsports next season, team owner Rick Hendrick wants to help him find a ride and stay in NASCAR.
"Mr. Hendrick has been really supportive and making sure that you know he wants me in a car as well," Kahne said. "You know it didn't work out in the No. 5, but he wants me in another car and he wants me to be out there racing next year."
Hendrick said earlier this week he felt responsible for the No. 5 team not performing to expectations, something Kahne takes pride in.
"To have somebody like Rick Hendrick, Mr. Hendrick, to be on your side, even though I'm not going to be part of his team anymore, to be on your side and the power that he has in this sport and what he has done for NASCAR for this sport for so many drivers and employees over the years," Kahne said. "To have him behind you is a really good thing."
Now that Kahne and his team know their future, he said things were business as usual Friday at Michigan.
"The vibe was good," Kahne said. "The team was good just pretty similar to always. It was the first time I had seen my guys since the news. A lot of them weren't at the shop on Monday, so they were told by guys that were at the shop and I was gone at Knoxville this week.
"Today it was cool everybody seemed good. We just kind of went to work like always and hope to put together a really strong weekend."
Kahne qualified 24th for Sunday's Pure Michigan 400 and while he does have three poles and one Michigan win on his resume, he has failed to finish in the top 10 in the last six races in the Irish Hills. He says that while he has had speed, the finishes have not reflected his performance.
"I think over the last few races here, the final restart has put me from like seventh or eighth to 13th – 15th," Kahne said. "Obviously, the restarts to me, there is a line that you are put in and where you go from there is up to the driver so you have to make things happen in the first and second corner, but as far as the speed of the car that is something that I think we have made some gains in."
While restart position and speed may be something Kahne needs to work on in Saturday's practice sessions at Michigan, his desire to race and to win at the top level of racing is still strong, as is his desire to be considered one of the top drivers in the sport.
"I've won 18 races myself and we had six wins in one year," Kahne said. "I just really think I will be able to come up with something that will be very competitive and be able to be in the Cup Series for a while to come. I've lived a great part of the sport, been part of all that and I don't want to be done yet."

The Lakers (8-18) recently defeated the Sacramento Kings (11-15) at Staples Center. The Kings will get a rematch on Sunday night, this time with their star center DeMarcus Cousins -- who missed 10 games with viral meningitis.
Cousins made his return on Thursday night, scoring 27 points with 11 rebounds and five assists in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Lakers may be without Nick Young, who was ejected during the team's loss Friday to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Young was called for a flagrant foul 2 after hitting Steven Adams with a forearm -- a suspension could be coming.
The team is still down Xavier Henry (Achilles), Ryan Kelly (hamstring), Steve Nash (back) and Julius Randle (leg).
Key matchup
Cousins is one of the top big men in the league, averaging 23.7 points and 12.5 rebounds.
The Kings have a 9-7 record with Cousins but were just 2-8 without him.
The Lakers will counter with Jordan Hill, Ed Davis, Robert Sacre and Carlos Boozer.
Kobe Bryant is the Lakers' primary scorer. Sacramento has Rudy Gay, Darren Collison and Cousins for the Lakers to try to contain.
Collison was a force when the teams met on Dec. 9, scoring 26 points in the Lakers' 98-95 victory.
The former UCLA Bruin and Clipper hit 11 of 18 shots while dishing six assists. The Lakers survived, but Collison was a problem.
The Lakers need strong defensive performances from Ronnie Price and Jeremy Lin.
The pair scored just five against the Kings, both hitting one of five attempts.
The Kings are still reeling after Mike Malone was fired, with Ty Corbin steeping in as interim head coach.
Sacramento has lost five in a row, giving the Lakers a reasonable chance to steal a win on the road -- but if Young is indeed suspended, that may be a difficult task.
With Cousins back, the Kings are a talented squad, capable of pulling up from their recent swoon. The Lakers have yet to prove they can win consistently this season.

Small Churches Face Same Challenges as Larger Mainlines
Randall Murphree, Agape Press
Rev. Greg Williams, pastor of Clyde's Chapel Southern Methodist Church (SMC) in Batesburg, South Carolina, is going into full-time evangelism because of his burden for the falling membership and decreasing commitment he perceives in his denomination. The small SMC denomination stands in stark contrast to the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), the nation's largest Protestant group. Yet Williams believes the SMC's concerns reflect a parallel with what is happening in many larger churches and mainline denominations. "I will be the only evangelist in the whole denomination," Williams said. "I really feel that God wants me to go and help the churches that are struggling to regain the vision and to preach the Gospel...It is the church's responsibility to lift up Christ." His decision to go into evangelism is a big step of faith. There's no salary, only the gifts of those who want to support his ministry and from the churches where he'll preach. He hopes to find a home near Clyde's Chapel because the congregation there has promised to look out for his family while he's on the road.
Lutheran Minister in Denmark Suspended after Inflammatory Remarks
Michael Ireland, ASSIST News Service
The Lutheran minister who proclaimed last year that there was no God or afterlife was suspended for a second time Thursday, June 10 for ignoring church orders not to repeat those beliefs from the pulpit. Helsingoer Bishop Lise-Lotte Rebel suspended the Rev. Thorkild Grosboell, pastor of Taarbaek, and handed his case to the government ``requesting that it take the necessary steps.'' In Denmark, Lutheran ministers are employed by the state and only the government can fire them with a recommendation from their presiding bishop. Rebel oversees the diocese that includes Taarbaek, a small town north of Copenhagen. Grosboell has been under Rebel's strict supervision since he first was suspended after a May 2003 interview in which he said "there is no heavenly God, there is no eternal life, there is no resurrection.'' About 85 percent of Danes belong to the state Evangelical Lutheran Church. Grosboell eventually retracted his statement and apologized for what Rebel had termed "provocative'' remarks. His suspension was lifted. Yet, he repeated those beliefs in past weeks. The sermon was ``clearly incompatible with the state church's faith,'' the bishop said. Rebel concluded that Grosboell "had disregarded the state church's basis for belief, undermined his duties (of) respect and confidence, disregarded the official order (and) caused a deep confusion about the state church.''
Controversy Over L.A. County Seal Cross Continues
Chad Groening, Agape Press
A public interest law firm has filed suit in Federal District Court in California to block Los Angeles County from removing a small cross from its official seal. Officials decided last week to replace the cross with another image after the ACLU threatened the city with a law suit. The Thomas More Law Center has filed suit on behalf of Ernesto Vasquez, a Los Angeles County employee who objects to the removal of the cross. The suit brought by Vasquez contends that removal of the cross would send a government-sponsored message of hostility towards Christians and would be in violation the United States Constitution. The law center spokesman says county officials should never have let a threatened lawsuit from the ACLU intimidate them into complying with their demand, which claims the cross violates the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Recently the Roman Catholic archbishop of Los Angeles added his voice to those opposing the removal of the religious symbol. Cardinal Roger Mahony has asked the county supervisors to reconsider their decision. The archbishop says the cross on the seal reflects the importance of Catholic missions in Los Angeles County's early history, and to remove it, he insists, would be to deny the historical record.
Eritrea: Christians Arrested and Tortured
Elizabeth Kendal, ASSIST News Service
Compass Direct reports (4 June) that three more Christian leaders and a popular Christian singer have been arrested in Eritrea. Haile Naizgi and Dr Kifle Gebremeski (chairman of the Eritrean Evangelical Alliance), key leaders in the Full Gospel Church, were arrested on 23 May. Pastor Tesfatsion Hagos of the Rema Evangelical Church was arrested on 27 May and his location is unknown. Christian singer Helen Berhane has been incarcerated in a metal shipping container at the Mai Serwa military camp since 13 May. When a music CD she released became very popular, she was arrested. At least 400 Eritrean evangelicals of minority denominations are now imprisoned for their faith. Prison conditions for these persecuted believers are appalling. Christians are tortured with the aim of forcing a renunciation of faith. Many Christian prisoners are incarcerated in metal shipping containers brought in from the ports to hold the overflow of prisoners. Prisoners are also subjected to unspeakable sexual torture. The Eritrean government has warned leaders of the evangelical minority not to report on their suffering. Nevertheless, the churches release this information, knowing they will be harshly punished, yet hoping their brothers and sisters around the world will pray for them, and governments that believe in freedom and justice will support them.

Two buildings situated within Plainfield Historic downtown district will get an exterior facelift, thanks to facade rehabilitation grants approved by the village board this week.
Last month, the Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to approve a certificate of appropriateness for façade work at the building at 24044 West Lockport St.
The applicant is requesting approval for a rehabilitation grant in the amount of $36,093.
The Historic Preservation Commission considered the plans for the new façade, noting that it will provide improvements that will make a significant change to the appearance of the building, in line with its historic place downtown.
The cost of the exterior work to complete the facade change at the building is $59,560, with the applicant requesting reimbursement of 50 percent of the eligible improvement costs.
The owner, Plainfield Castle, LLC, has proposed new construction to restore the exterior front façade and return it to its late 1800s appearance.
The existing structure was built in the mid-1890s, and was renovated in the late 1950s with part of the façade covered with a limestone veneer.
"It will be a much, much anticipated improvement," said Director of Planning Jonathan Proulx. "There are just a handful or fewer façades remaining [downtown] that have not benefitted from the [grant] program."
The proposed work will remove that limestone veneer, and restore the storefront. Planned restoration work includes repointing of the existing masonry coping, tuckpointing and repair of existing masonry, and installation of a new steel column with decorative detailing.
The village board also approved a rehabilitation grant for $85,000 for the building at 24030 West Lockport St. The cost of exterior work to improve that site is estimated at $170,000.
The applicant, Barvian Properties, LLC, is the new owner of the storefront, and is in the process of building a new ice cream parlor at the site, and went through the Historic Preservation Commission in February.
The petitioner is proposing to restore the exterior front and rear elevations, and to remodel the interior to accommodate the new ice cream shop and professional office space.
The exterior restoration will be completed in two phases, with the first phase focused on the first-floor elevation storefront, and the second phase to include restoration of the second-floor windows.
The existing structure was built in the mid-1870s, and is one of three buildings on the north side of the block that survived the downtown Plainfield fire of 1890. It was remodeled in the mid-1900s to feature blue and green tile covering the front facade.
Façade improvement grants are funded via tax increment financing (TIF) funds, from the TIF district located in the historic downtown area.
Property owners or business tenants who plan to make at least $1,000 in qualifying improvements are eligible to receive a matching grant.
Information on the grant program, including scope of work and other requirements, can be found on the village website, plainfield-il.org.
