Spazzo Ratings and Reviews
"A Little Christmas Cheer"
We selected Spazzo for our companies year end get together.
As a party of eight we reserved a private seating area which was quite and with excellent service provided by Jeff.
Jeff opened our bottles of wine to open and decant while we made our appetizer selections.
The appetizers along with bread service arrived quickly and enjoyed by all.
As we enjoyed the appetizers Jeff took our dinner entree orders and poured additional wine.
We enjoyed High Tower Cabernet, Obelisco Syrah, Smasne Red Blend and Refuge & Prospect Cabernet.
Dinner entrees were prepared while we shared the appetizers and conversation with bottles of wine.
Everyone enjoyed their entrees from Australian lamb chops to various pasta dishes, everyone was pleased.
After dinner desserts also were shared all around the table along with cappuccino, espresso and coffee.
A very enjoyable 3 hour social dinner with excellent service, good food and wine. Jeff managed the timing of the service with the appetizers and entrees so we never felt rushed or waiting. Excellent.
We will repeat this experience.
It was my birhtday, they knew this. The table was great. My girlfirend surprised me with prosecco by the table when we were seated a lovely gift and surprise. The barman came over to open it and proceeded to tell the whole table, he had much better prosecco and how much the bottle cost , he was asked to stop as it was a gift and he would not be silenced, it was awful and embarrassing. And then the service throughout the meal was hopeless. Had to ask for more water and to order more drinks when the food arrived, they didn't arrive until after we had finished eating. Terrible! They weren't busy, i could have understood that, the wait staff just seemed more interested in talking in small groups to each other. We won't be going back soon.
We had a mixed experience but all in all we had a nice lunch with friends. My friend had a grilled chicken caprese sandwich, her husband had PROSCIUTTO pizza, my husband had eggplant Parmesan and I had a chopped salad. The pizza was delicious, crispy crust and great toppings. My husband's eggplant was crispy outside, tender and delicious inside. He loved it. My chopped salad had a wonderful creamy Italian dressing that was perfect with the greens, garbanzo beans, chicken and other great ingredients. Unfortunately, the chicken breast in my friend's sandwich was undercooked and raw. The restaurant took it off of the bill and my friend didn't want another sandwich. She said that the other veggies and cheese were perfect in the sandwich. The restaurant was gracious and handled the situation as any fine restaurant should.
Hmm, it was OK. The food was good, but a bit pricey. I doubt that I would come back. It was VERY difficult to find in the town center. All we had was an address and that was only good for getting there from the road. The server was good but very chatty with all of his guests. This is why it took us a really long time to just get out check. It wasn't just us either. Several tables around us were trying to figure out just where in the heck the server was! So, negative points for that. The overall service service was good however.
My wife and I were celebrating our 22nd anniversary. We ordered the fried artichokes that came with an aioli sauce for our app which was very good. My wife ordered the eggplant parm and I had the pork chop. We both enjoyed our entrees. Spazzo gave us complimentary creme brulee for dessert.
The servers and staff were so friendly. They created an anniversary card which they all signed for my wife and I as we celebrated our thirtieth anniversary. It was truly the ultimate service gesture that a restaurant could offer. I had eggplant Parmesan which Spazzo's is known for, but it wasn't cooked through. It was tough. Everything else was very good.
Me & my wife came here for our 9th anniversary. Our waitress was awesome! Food came out super fast, food was awesome. They even gave us a complimentary creme brulee and made a card for us that everybody working at the time personally signed. It was very heartwarming and thoughtful.
The service was very slow this particular night due to a large private party. Don't think that management planned for this, so our food was delivered 1 hour and 20 minutes after we arrived. Also, the kitchen had run out of gluten free pasta and we were not notified until after we had ordered, making it a longer wait as we had to re-order.
Terrible experience. Had reserved a table and bottle of wine online and also called to confirm they had the wine i requested as its my girlfriends favorite and it was her birthday dinner.
After we were seated and asked our drink order our waitress responds with "no one told me!" Very rude and unproffesional. They of course did not have it. The manager then came over and apologized, and offered us a different bottle for $135 which is double the price. We chose another bottle.
The appetizers were ok, but not even halfway thru out came out entrees. They took them to the back and brought out our cold clammy pastas/entrees after we finished them, which sucked.
Never brought a desert menu, just a creme brulee which neither of us liked.
Out waitress left without saying a word and we paid the bill to someone else.
Will not be back.
We enjoyed our dinner with the exception of the risotto. I've had risotto all over Italy, and this should not have been called risotto. It tasted like rice baked in a pan with cheese melted on top. Risotto is a short grain rice that is stirred constantly while cooking as seasoning and liquid ingredients are added. It should be creamy and rich. This was neither.
The scallops were very good, and my husband's smoked salmon pasta dish was quite good. Our server recommended the coconut pie and it was super!
The service was very good.
Pretty pricey for a restaurant in a mall.
We went there to celebrate the Mother's Day with booking via open table. One family was turned away due to fully book situation when we arrived. Waited a while while they tried to honor my special request for the seating. Though we agreed with any open table at the end. Service was very good, food was decent. Medium well rib eye steak was fantastic. Seafood combo dish and lamb chop were both very pleasant, though my daughter regretted with the pasta order as it was too cheesy for her liking. We managed to offer her our food and she felt much better after that. Good setting for the restaurant. Price is more on four stars and above category.
Not a good experience. I have been here numerous times but not on Mothers Day. Mistake.
Not to totally blame the server but it was so crowded and not enough servers. Between 15 and 18 minutes before drinks were ordered.
Had to ask for bread.
Food was delicious but not for the price. A bowl of spaghetti and meatballs very small portion for $22.
On top of it all I paid for someone elses dinner and went home with their debit card! Mine was left at the desk.
I've eaten here once before and the service and food were both excellent then. However, on this occasion, we arrived at 5:50 for our 6:00 reservation, and were happy to wait in the bar until our table was ready. At 6:05 the hostess indicated that it was, however our cocktails hadn't yet arrived from the bar. When we asked our bar server to deliver them to our table when they came up, her reply was that we should remain where we were until she delivered them to us, then we were responsible for carrying them to our table. After another 3 minute wait for our drinks, we walked with them back to the hostess station, but she was now engaged in a conversation with someone who had just walked in the door, and there was no one else around to show us to our table. So we stood by the front door, drinks in hand for approx another 5 minutes until someone came to seat us. It was 6:13 when we were finally seated at our table.
Our waitress brought us menus and water promptly, but then we didn't see her again for over 25 minutes! Once we ordered, the kitchen got us our food in a timely manner (it arrived 20 minutes after ordering), and it was delicious. However, because of the slow service it was now 7:05, and we had a 7:30 show we were attending, so felt rushed eating out dinner. We also had to ask for bread service, which we saw other tables get automatically when they were seated.

(Israel Hayom/Exclusive to JNS.org) Israel on Saturday night published the names of 26 Palestinian terrorist prisoners to be freed in the third installment of its prisoner release for negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. The release is expected to take place Monday night.
The prisoners to be released are nearly all convicted of murdering Israeli civilians, soldiers or Palestinian collaborators, according to the Israel Prison Services website, and have all served 19-28 years of their terms. Among the murderers being released are Muammar Ata Mahmoud Mahmoud and Salah Khalil Ahmad Ibrahim, convicted of stabbing Menahem Stern to death. Stern was a history professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and winner of the prestigious Israel Prize.

Change of scenery does little to liven up 'Rio 2'
First Posted: 4/10/2014
The worst thing that happened to 2011's "Rio" was the animated feature made money: $143.6 million domestic to be exact. A sequel was pretty much a requirement, even if the sumptuous original — thanks to its Rio de Janeiro during Carnival setting — possessed all the energy of a humid breeze.
And we're not done yet. "Rio 2's" estimated $39 million debut this past weekend means another tuneful, colorful blip is a near certainty.
"Rio 2" reunites Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway), the endangered blue macaws who fell in love the first time around. The lovebirds now have three kids and have settled into a domestic routine complete with pancake making and TV watching. Jewel, a girl of the jungle, is losing patience.
When another blue macaw is spotted in the Amazon, Jewel sees an opportunity for the family to connect with its roots. Blu, a lover of the great indoors, is reluctant to travel, but he goes to make Jewel happy. Having his friends tag along helps.
She ends up ecstatic, reuniting with her stoic father (Andy Garcia) and her childhood friend (pop star Bruno Mars), a hunky outdoorsy type. The skittish and miserable Blu can't compete. And his love of people doesn't endear him to the tribe, which keeps moving to avoid the humans' destructive tendencies.
Blu's travails are reminiscent of 2000's "Meet the Parents," which counts as the apotheosis of storytelling in director and co-writer Carlos Saldanha's world. Rather than concentrating on having jokes and characters work within one plot, Saldanha switches between enervating "Who cares?" subplots.
Veteran character actor Miguel Ferrer voices an Ernest Hemingway look-a-like, an illegal logger eager to stop the conservation efforts of Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) and Linda (Leslie Mann), Blu and Jewel's dull-as-dirt guardians. (How a movie can water down a tart comedy ace like Mann is puzzling.) A land dispute divides the blue macaws and the parrots, culminating in an airborne soccer game. Blu's eloquent nemesis from the first film, cockatoo Nigel (Jemaine Clement), returns for vengeance. This all happens as feathered friends Pedro (Will.i.am) and Nico (Jamie Foxx) hold auditions for a talent show because why not.
The needless back and forth prevents "Rio 2" from having a creative identity and keeps the characters from doing more than posturing or acting pleasant. Blu is neurotic; Jewel is skeptical; Pedro and Nico deliver pre-packaged sass. Even Blu and Jewel's kids are a continuation of the Seven Dwarves: smarty, mischievous, and brooding. Unless you count learning a lesson or belting the occasional forgettable tune, no one says or does anything worth noting.
Like most CGI animated fare, "Rio 2" has the visuals down cold. Our retinas get flooded with jungle greens and tropical hues. But it's accompanied with little love or personality. The movie is as colorful and lifeless as a cold case full of different varieties of Gatorade. "Rio 2" is slickly packaged, quickly digested family entertainment. That's not the foundation for a franchise — I don't care what the numbers say.

Losing my Religion
>> Thursday, July 31, 2008
I stumbled upon this at one of the groups I'm part of.
"I won't be a hypocrite.
I won't say I am living a virtuous life
amidst a cornucopia of sins and immorality
I am not religious.
I am not sacrilegious.
but when I lost my religion,
my faith intensified."
How true.

Christians face attacks in Egypt
By HAMZA HENDAWI
Associated Press
ASSIUT, Egypt — It was nighttime and 10,000 Islamists were marching down the most heavily Christian street in this ancient Egyptian city, chanting "Islamic, Islamic, despite the Christians." A half-dozen kids were spray-painting "Boycott the Christians" on walls, supervised by an adult.
While Islamists are on the defensive in Cairo following the military coup that ousted President Mohammed Morsi, in Assiut and elsewhere in Egypt's deep south they are waging a stepped-up hate campaign, claiming the country's Christian minority somehow engineered Morsi's downfall.
"Tawadros is a dog," says a spray-painted insult, referring to Pope Tawadros II, patriarch of the Copts, as Egypt's Christians are called. Christian homes, stores and places of worship have been marked with large painted crosses.
The hostility led a coalition of 16 Egyptian rights groups to warn on Wednesday of a wave of violence to come, and to demand that the post-coup authorities protect the Christians who are 10 percent of the population, and suffer chronic discrimination.
Nile-side Assiut, a city of one million people 250 miles south of Cairo, dates back to the pharaohs.
The New Testament says Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus passed through as they fled the infanticidal King Herod. Today, its Christian fears are compounded by the failure of authorities to curb the graffiti-spraying and the Islamists' demonstrations, which have gone on almost nightly since the July 3 coup that ousted Morsi.
"They (the Islamists) will not stop as long as they are left to do as they please without fear of accountability," said Hossam Nabil, 38, who owns a jewelry store on Youssry Ragheb Street, where the demonstration passed on Tuesday night. "They are many and one day they will trash our stores."
Like other Christians with stores on the street, Nabil shuttered his establishment until the protesters had passed. "They (the marchers) run their index finger across their throats to suggest they will slaughter us, or scream Morsi's name in our faces," he said.
A young couple arrived to shop while scores of marchers were still on the street. They froze in fear, the husband shielding his wife with his body.
Families living in apartment blocks above the stores stayed home, shutting windows and staying off balconies. Those outdoors kept their distance from the march.
Assiut's Islamists are strong because local authority is weak and religion is powerful in a region where poverty is widespread and envy of the relatively high number of well-to-do Christians runs high.
As for the graffiti, acting provincial Gov. Gamal Adam told The Associated Press the authorities have given up on washing it away because it quickly reappears. He also said municipal cleaners might be roughed up if caught in the act by Islamists.
For the 40 percent of Assiut people who are Christian, life has changed radically. They find their apartment blocks disfigured by painted crosses with a red X painted over them. They stay at home at night. Churches have cancelled afternoon activities. Some of the wealthy have left town.
"We had never experienced the kind of persecution we suffer now. We are insulted every day," said Nevine Kamal, a 40-year-old Christian pharmacist and mother of two teenagers. "We are angry and frustrated but we are not leaving Assiut," she said, seated at her desk at the St. George Pharmacy on Youssry Ragheb Street. Under her desk's glass is a poster of the Virgin Mary and on the wall is an image of St. George slaying the mythical dragon.
"Sadly, my children are angry with Egypt and want to leave and they don't believe us when I and my husband tell them that things will get better soon. But, personally, I have faith that all this will yield something good for us and the country. We thought the Muslim Brotherhood will rule for 80 years and they are out after just one year. Who would have believed this?" Morsi is a longtime leader of the Brotherhood.
At least seven Christians have been killed since the coup, one of them in Assiut. Scores have been injured.
This week, in a village in the province of Minya south of Cairo, a pro-military song playing on a coffee shop radio sparked an argument between a Muslim and a Christian, and the next day a mob of thousands ransacked Christian homes and stores and tried to storm a church. At least 18 people were injured and arrests warrants issued for 35.
Egypt's Christians used to shun politics, but since the Arab Spring of early 2011 they have started to demand a say in the country's direction. They took it to a new level during Morsi's year in office and the empowerment of his Islamist allies. Tawadros, the Coptic Christian pope installed last year, openly criticized the president and told Christians they were free to actively participate in politics.
It was a risky gamble for a minority that has long felt vulnerable, with its most concentrated communities, like the one in Assiut, living in the same rural areas where the most vehement Islamists hold sway.
During Morsi's year in office, some of his hard-line allies increasingly spoke of Christians as enemies of Islam and warned them to remember they are a minority. When the wave of protests against Morsi began on June 30, media supportive of his Muslim Brotherhood depicted the movement as dominated by Christians.
Still, at the ancient convent marking the last spot where the Holy Family is thought to have stayed before it left Egypt, hundreds gathered this week for an annual festival in upbeat mood. Children played, families picnicked, people lined up to buy blessed bread.
"Those who hate us are misled," said a convent member named Martyra, speaking to the AP while standing in a cave where ancient Egyptians quarried stones to build their cities. "I am safe here in the convent but I worry and pray for those who live outside and have children."

Angel Haze is killin it with these new covers, and I couldn't help but do a write up on someone who's making such great music. Two very controversial, emotional, and intense songs reveal the versatility of this talented artist. I'm not a huge fan of Miley and I'm heterosexual, but I can't deny the fact that this girl has some insane vocals and surprisingly decent flows. Check her out, she deserves a listen or two.

Regular Seeds
The Skunk no.1 has been used to form many, many new varieties. This is thanks to its GCA (General Combining Ability. Simply crossing a selected Skunk no. 1 pheno will improve almost any strain. She is an Afghani inbred-line polyhybrid with a heavy tendency to her cannabis Sativa parentage. She has a medium to high THC level.
As any Skunk she is very mould and disease resistant and is virtually screw-up proof. Skunk no.1 is quick to germinate, usually within a day. We advise a short 3 week vegetative period. There can be 3 phenos, but the high is the same for all of them. Easy to trim thanks to a great flower-to-leaf ratio. The Skunk no. 1 produces larges buds with an excellent calyx-to-leaf ratio. She is very similar to the Super Skunk. She is medium green and has medium broad leaves.
Smell of the buds is skunky and musky with a soft and sweet hint. The flavor is typical skunk with a touch of fruit. The smoke gives you a powerful, stimulating high. Medicinal value: stress, anxiety, nausea and muscle pain.

Mark Twain Quotes About CommunityQuotes about: Community
Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever.
Our inner strengths, experiences, and truths cannot be lost, destroyed, or taken away. Every person has an inborn worth and can contribute to the human community. We all can treat one another with dignity and respect, provide opportunities to grow toward our fullest lives and help one another discover and develop our unique gifts. We each deserve this and we all can extend it to others.
I am personally acquainted with hundreds of journalists, and the opinion of the majority of them would not be worth tuppence in private, but when they speak in print it is the newspaper that is talking (the pygmy scribe is not visible) and then their utterances shake the community like the thunders of prophecy.
This is a Christian country. Why, so is hell. Inasmuch as Strait is the way and narrow is the gate, and few - few - are they that enter in thereat has had the natural effect of making hell the only really prominent Christian community in any of the worlds; but we don't brag of this and certainly it is not proper to brag and boast that America is a Christian country when we all know that certainly five-sixths of our population could not enter in at the narrow gate.

More Insanity
MORE INSANITY : City Council (CRA) gets ready to spend hundreds of thousands on Cultural Alliance Art Gallery
1/27/10 – Layoffs and cutbacks in essential City services now are a daily reality within the City of Banning, which is facing the greatest financial crisis in it's history . But the City Council seems to ignore the crisis : they are getting ready to spend at least $ 250,000 – and maybe as much as half a million – on the most non-essential building the City owns : an Art Gallery operated by the Banning Cultural Alliance.
Located at 130 N. San Gorgonio Ave, the City of Banning owns a gallery building that it purchased in 2008 for the exclusive use by the Alliance. The City paid $ 450,000 for this building, arguably overpaying substantially. If put up for sale today, this building would not even get a bid of $ 200,000. To add insult to injury, Botts, Hanna , Robinson and Machisic have authorized for the Cultural Alliance to currently occupy the building rent free and for them to keep rental income from apartments located in this building (read more in our previous article).
The City Council is quick to point out that $ 250,000 had been "set aside" in 2008 for a remodel of this building. But in light of mounting deficits and the City's $ 110,000,000 bond debt, wouldn't it seem prudent to use this money for debt reduction instead ? In a CRA meeting of January 26, 2010 certain City Council members (Hanna, Machisic, Robinson -with Botts absent ) seemed to falsely suggest that the City has no choice but to go forward with their plan.
In reality the City never committed to remodeling this building to any third party, and therefore is under no obligation whatsoever to go forward with the remodel. To the contrary, the current lease agreement for the Gallery Building requires the Cultural Alliance to pay for all improvements to the building ( view lease, page 5 ). But contracts don't mean anything when it comes to the Banning Cultural Alliance.
As the Banning Informer had reported before, the Banning Cultural Alliance has a long standing history of taking the taxpayer to the cleaners. In the past, this predatory "non-profit organization" was paid $ 110,000 by the City for services which they never bothered to perform ( read more here and listen to podcast Radio Interviews here and here).
On another occasion, the Cultural Alliance had received a $ 100,000 façade grant for the Women's Club " building on 175 W. Hays St. ( a building different from the Art Gallery). The Women's Club building is owned by the Cultural Alliance and used as their headquarters. In 2007 the Alliance used the $ 100,000 façade grant to submit – among other things – a severely overinflated painting invoice : for painting just the exterior of the approximately 3,500 sqft. Women's Club building they billed the taxpayer $ 23,895.00 ! (view invoice).
Fair market value for this contract would have been no more $ 6,000, which means the taxpayer was overcharged by 400 %. It is a well known fact that building contractors often submit overstated invoices in order to pay kickbacks to key individuals ; while there is no hard evidence that kickbacks were actually paid in this case, it can be safely assumed that even the most unsophisticated person ( f.e. CEO Carol Newkirk ) would not sign a contract that is 4 times higher than it should be. Needless to say, nobody on the City Council (CRA) ever questioned the excessive amount submitted for painting the exterior of this building. They were eager to pay . Draw your own conclusions.
The Cultural Alliance, which negotiated this unbelievable painting contract will now be in charge of negotiating the huge remodel contract for the City owned Gallery building on San Gorgonio. Get ready to get ripped off in a much bigger way – $ 25,000 for an architect have already been approved on Jan 26, 2010. Once again, this latest development is living proof that the City of Banning has been hijacked by a corrupt City Council in conjunction with a cancerous Banning Cultural Alliance, an organization that always enjoys the unconditional approval of these 4 City Council members:
Their message to the citizens is : "We may not have the money to keep City Hall open 5 days a week, and we certainly have to lay off City employees. But you better believe that we always have an extra $ 250,000 (maybe even $ 500,000) "set aside", just in case the Cultural Alliance tells us they want us to remodel an Art Gallery."
Total insanity is ruling the City of Banning.

Texas Lutheran University (Mathematics)
I am a 2010 graduate of Texas Lutheran University with a BA in mathematics and minor in music. Since graduating, I have worked at an after-school math learning center tutoring students from kindergarten to non-traditional college students and an in-school math tutoring program in an AISD middle school and two AISD high schools. I have experience working with both advanced students (a kindergartner to whom I taught multiplication, for example) and struggling students, including some with special needs.
I decided to return to college after spending 13 years in the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps when a friend told me that if I could help her understand her daughter's math homework that I should help others with math, as well. I joined the Marines after struggling in college, but found my direction and graduated 20 years after first stepping onto campus. I understand what it's like to both fail and succeed academically, which helps me provide good motivation and support. I have been praised by parents and previous employers for my patience in working with students, since I realize that school can be seen as pointless and a chore.
I try to make math fun and meaningful for all ages. Let me help you! I am a 2010 graduate of Texas Lutheran University with a BA in mathematics and minor in music.

My son failed an Algebra 2 test prior to hiring David. He came to us very frustrated and worried about his grade. After 1 tutoring session with David he took his next test and scored 102 out of 100 (extra credit from the review sheets). David helped him to come up with solutions to the problems, and not just plug in the formula. My son feels very comfortable with him. He feels at ease asking questions. They work together well. My son's confidence has grown tremendously! David is willing to stay until my son understands the task at hand. He does not just stop because the hour is up. You pay accordingly, but it is well worth it! I would highly recommend David!
Today was our first session with David and we are very impressed. My 13 year old loved him and is actually looking forward to his tuturing as David made it easy and walked him through every step. We will continue to use him and I'm certain he will get my son to passing and confident in no time. I would highly recommend David.
It was our first lesson but we plan to use David on a regular basis. He was patient and Jake learned a lot!
Thank you David. Your motivation and dedication is to be commended.
The first ASVAB tutor I selected for my niece was a no-show on the first and only meeting. I am grateful that the WyzAnt website allows the option for other tutors, like yourself, to contact clients seeking tutoring services.
Four months ago, my niece tested on practice test #1 at 20 and ASVAB test #1 at 29. In just a few lessons, my niece scored a 50 in practice test #2.
Awesome job, David! You were instrumental in this success and I am thankful.
David helped our son understand pre-calculus. After just two sessions, our son received a 100 on his semester final exam. We plan to hire David to help our son with SAT and ACT math prep help as well. I highly recommend David as a math tutor.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

GARY, Ind. - In just a few days the Northern League season will officially open and I've already had the pleasure of attending three exhibition games. It's interesting to watch all the new ballplayers who've come into the Northern League and incredible to see how the guys from last year have improved.
The dynamics in this game are always interesting to follow. My most interesting game this season has to be the 5am Saints game against Sioux Falls on mothers' day. Nothing like enjoying a fresh bowl of Lucky Charms from General Mills against a sunrise at a ballgame to make things interesting. Remember life is what you make of it, enjoy it and each precious sunrise and homerun at 5am.
After an 8 hour drive from Minnesota to Indiana on Sunday, today I found myself at the U.S. Steel Yard for a RailCats exhibition game against the Jackhammers. I think this is going to be an interesting season as there are new and old faces to enjoy in the Northern League and on the Gary SouthShore RailCats including Brandon O'Neal, Travis Kerber, Quinton Oldenburg, Derek Lopez, Anthony Iapoce, Curt Lee, Scott Samuels and last years catcher turned pitcher is back with gusto~ Dominic Woody. These guys have a love for this game and to win it you have to put your heart into it! I know they'll be out there giving their all this season as will all the other talented Northern League players.
Good luck everyone and again remember Mark Twain's advice when you are rooting for your favorite team this season, "It's not the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog."

Congratulations to K.Dot and the whole TDE family!
After dominating the Billboard charts for two weeks, To Pimp A Butterfly is Kendrick Lamar's first No. 1 album and now it is his second LP to reach gold status. According to Billboard Mag, it's the first album to spend the first two weeks at the top the charts since Taylor Swift's 1989, last November.
To Pimp A Butterfly reportedly passed 500,000, after moving about 63,000 units in its third week. This week TPAB came in at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 while selling 65,000 copies, while Wale's The Album About Nothing held the top spot.
Kendrick recently spoke about the success of his album, saying:
"I really can't speak on other artists, but for me what I try to do is just stay as original as possible. And have my own sound that nobody can really duplicate.""Nobody can really make sense of doing it easily. It's really my niche and that's what I think everybody in the game should have, their own niche. Nobody really follows each other. Cause when you do original things you elevate the art and culture of hip hop."
As if he has not given his fans enough with his album going gold, he is set to go on a world tour with TDE, drop a collaborative album with J. Cole and land on Kanye West's "All Day (Remix)." Also K.Dot will throw out LA Dodgers's first pitch on April 27th.
It's good to be Kendrick.

Sorry for my absence! My computer screen broke last week (cue major freak out). So I had to take it to the Apple store. Thank goodness they covered the cost of the repair. But it meant they had to keep my computer for a week so they could replace the screen. Luckily, nothing else was wrong with my computer so I'm thanking my lucky stars. I feel so happy to have it back and to get back to work. Tbh, I felt so lost without it. Anyways, I'm excited to share this yummy holiday recipe for my vegan and gluten-free gingerbread men cookies, a Christmas favorite of mine.
Believe it or not, this was my first time baking homemade gingerbread men cookies from scratch. I always found these cookies to be really intimidating, perhaps because growing up we always went for the "slice-and-bake" sugar cookies with pictures of Christmas trees or snowmen on them. Or we'd make classic peanut butter blossom cookies. Since slice-and-bake vegan cookies don't exist in Hong Kong, I figured I'd finally tackle the classic gingerbread cookies.
I used a combination of rice flour and gluten-free all-purpose flour plus a mixture of applesauce and coconut oil to get a nice tender texture. This time, I sweetened the gingerbread with organic vegan turbinado sugar, a new addition to my baking cabinet that I've found really useful. I tend to lean towards coconut sugar for most of my vegan baked goods, like my banana oatmeal cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, chocolate chip cookies, or banana muffins. But sometimes, you just got to reach for that raw cane sugar to really get the authentic, classic gingerbread taste.
I was so incredibly happy with the final result, because the cookies came out tasting just like regular gingerbread men. I taste-tested them on my boyfriend and he couldn't even believe they were vegan! Now, I'm gearing up to travel to Vietnam with my boyfriend's family for vacation and then head to the States to visit my family for Christmas. Since I'll be gone most of the month of December, I'm really going to try to share as many recipes as I can before then! Please let me know in the comments or on Instagram if you try this recipe.
- 2/3 cup + 2 tbsp brown or white rice flour, plus more for sprinkling
- 2/3 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup + 2 tbsp + 2 tsp vegan sugar
- 2 tbsp + 2 tsp arrowroot
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 2/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp + 2 1/2 tsp cold water
- Preheat oven to 165 degrees Celcius.
- In a large bowl, add the rice flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, arrowroot, ginger, cinnamon, xanthan gum, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg.
- Whisk together.
- Add the coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla and mix together with a large spoon until you get a thick dough.
- Add the cold water a little bit at a time until the dough is slightly tacky.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle some rice flour on a large flat cutting board and spread it out in a thin, even layer with your hands.
- Scoop out a large ball of the dough and roll it around on the cutting board until the surface is entirely covered with flour.
- Dust a rolling pin with more flour and roll out the dough until it's 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut out cookies with a gingerbread man cookie cutter and, using a spatula, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat steps 8-10 until you've used up all of your dough.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned.
- Let cool completely before serving.

A brief history of World Amateur Body Building Association (WABBA)
WABBA was formed in 1975 by Serge Nubret who was probably the most perfect bodybuilder of all time. Serge was discontent with the way the Weider brothers had virtually privatized bodybuilding for their own economic growth, demanding complete loyalty from bodybuilders and inevitably monopolizing the whole of bodybuilding and associated events. Serge was by no means a renegade but one of the best bodybuilders in the world who felt that there could and should be alternative democratic and fairer systems in place to give bodybuilders free reign and scope to compete where and with whom they wished. The IFBB do indeed hold the whip hand and nobody can deny the vast empire the Weiders created and the current Mr Olympia being the pinnacle of modern day bodybuilding. WABBA started to grow and continues to grow attracting many of the world's greatest athletes who wish to compete at National and I international level without beholding to anyone including rules and constitutions which restrict the careers of everybody but a few of the world's most elite athletes. We are now associated to 140 great Nations around the world.
I personally have been involved in bodybuilding since a small boy and my interest passion and enthusiasm have taken me all around the world in support of this beloved sport of ours. I have watched shows and indeed organized shows, competed and judged them from the smallest to some of the biggest. My first direct involvement with WABBA came in 2005 when I was invited to accompany the British team to Gran Canaria for the world championships, I was totally impressed and overwhelmed with the standard and the professionalism of the WABBA International technical committee and found myself surrounded with kindred spirits and a whole new enjoyable ethos towards bodybuilding. I returned from Gran Canaria as the new vice president of WABBA UK. For the next couple of years I worked hard and enjoyed bodybuilding like never before once again traveling to some beautiful countries with some beautiful people. As WABBA grew from strength to strength in the UK I was inevitably asked if I would like to become a member of the IFBB/UKBFF and I accepted this and was instantly placed on the executive committee. It is not my intention to undermine or dis credit any other federation or association but I found myself completely stifled and smothered in rules and politics I neither cared for nor believed in. When the mantle of WABBA world president was handed to Gerhardt Neumer I decided I wished to return to WABBA and enjoy and promote our sport with the fire enthusiasm and scope as I had previously enjoyed and was subsequently welcomed back into the family and honored with the post of President WABBA UK.
I have been granted permission to promote and organize WABBA competitions without prejudice personal grievances or politics in accordance with the rules. I ask only that you support and compete in WABBA events where I will give you my full support in all aspects of your bodybuilding career. We will give athletes a chance to compete at a World championship and Mr Universe every year which I know everybody that attends has as much of a fabulous time as myself and the WABBA team do. We have categories to suit every type of physique and figure and we will showcase you in front of huge National and International audiences and give you every opportunity to get the most out of your sport and enjoy it.
WABBA is genuinely an International family and I welcome you all to be part of it. World bodybuilding is evolving and certainly UK bodybuilding has to evolve and in the short term future you will see many changes I will endeavour to do my best to play my part for the good and benefit of bodybuilding and may I finish by saying thank you for taking the time to read this article. I welcome any questions anytime about WABBA or bodybuilding at my gym 01206 573737.

Subscription commerce companies are not new or innovative. In fact subscription companies have been around for many years. Paper deliveries, milk deliveries and gym memberships are subscriptions most of us are very familiar with. However more entrepreneurs are taking the 'traditional' product and turning it into an ecommerce experience.
When you are setting up a subscription business there are only three things you really need:
- A product or a service – could be a product like razors, or could be a service like a gym membership. Or could even be a place to read the latest news like the SMH.
- A way to bill recurring payments – you need to bill that weekly or monthly or quarterly subscription fee using a tool that is reliable and easy to use like of course Ezypay's direct debit payments.
- A website – this does not have to be your own customised website, it doesn't even have to be an ecoomerce site. It could in face just be a Facebook page.
Number 1 and number 3 are pretty easy to find and use right? You probably already can think of 10 products and services that you could sell in this manner or people are currently selling. What about the recurring payments part though?
That's an easy one for me to answer because this is Ezypay. It's the core of what we do.
At Ezypay we provide the payment or billing service that enables many of these types of companies to bill their subscribers. With a recurring payment from a bank account or credit card it means business owners don't even have to think about the payment side of things. They are left to focus on what is really important which is running their business.
If you would like to find out more about our recurring payments system then give us a call on 1300 762 726 or email email@example.com.

[Edit: Here's the audio!]
"I believe that spending $4 billion dollars on a freeway bridge is a huge mistake," says economist Joe Cortright, in his opening statement at today's City Club forum on the Columbia River Crossing. Metro Councilor Rex Burkholder just finished his intro, making the case for the project--in part by referencing the East Bay Bridge in the Bay Area, which was seismically unsound (they're replacing it, but they didn't add any traffic lanes to the new bridge).
Cortright's keeping it lighthearted enough to get laughs as he hammers home "critical points" like how the bridge could double the rate of sprawl. "Our dysfunctional relationship with Clark County and the rest of the region," Cortright says, is the biggest factor in congestion. There's a 7-to-1 ration of people coming into Portland from Vancouver versus the reverse commute. "This project would increase vehicle miles traveled [VMT] by 40 percent," when the recent governor's report on climate change says we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent, and reducing VMT "the area in which the State can have the most influence," according to that report.
More debate after the cut.
The cost to fix the bridges would rival the cost to tear down the current bridges before they're replaced, Cortright contends.
"The $4 billion dollars we spend on this project is $4 billion we won't have to spend on other projects," Cortright says, explaining the idea of "opportunity costs."
"For a much reduced level of money, we could fix the existing bridges, modify the ramps," add transit, "and do that in a way that would seriously deal with the congestion problem we face."
He's asking Burkholder: If he has $4 billion on the table today and could put it toward anything that would enhance our region, "would you put it into this bridge?" Oooo, I really hope Burkholder answers that.
"There's what we'd like to see the world be, and there's what the world is," Burkholder says, adding that the task force has asked all of these questions and choked on the price tag.
"The issue of growth is definitely an issue in this discussion," as is land use planning, Burkholder says. But "that's a decision of political leaders" on both sides of the river.
"I used to be an advocate for bicycles," Burkholder says. "Today I'm an elected official... and my responsibility is to look toward the future." Apparently in Burkholder's future, bicycles aren't that important, but letting people drive from Vancouver to Portland is. (At our CRC panel during the Toward Carfree Cities conference last week, transportation advocate Chris Smith asked Burkholder's colleague Robert Liberty what's happened to Burkholder--is this an Invasion of the Body Snatchers situation? I'm starting to think Smith is onto something...)
Redevelopment of Hayden Island can't be done "without this bridge," Burkholder says. Downtown Vancouver wants to "reknit its two halves together," and Burkholder contends that can't happen without this project.
"We do need to plan for the world we live in," Cortright says. But this project is planned as if we live in the 1950s. He's referencing the Mt. Hood Freeway project, where the plug was pulled--after funding was in place--and instead we have light rail and a vibrant SE Portland.
Cortright points out that Burkholder didn't answer his question about whether he'd spend this money all on the bridge if it were sitting on the table in front of him. "For your $4 billion dollars, you could buy 200 miles of streetcar" instead, for example. "There are lots of other things that we could spend it on."
Cortright is looking ahead to January 2009, when "we'll have a new federal administration... I can see the possibility that a President Obama... calls a meeting and invites his new Transportation Secretary Earl Blumenauer to sit down with the leaders of the country's greenest city" to rewrite the federal transportation bill. "And President Obama will reflect on the crown of 75,000 people" that greeted him in Portland, and say "what can a nation learn... what are the Portland lessons for what our transportation funding and policy ought to be? If we go ahead with the Columbia River Crossing, that answer will be... to have a $600 million [federal] earmark for a highway bridge. That's not the kind of vision that Portland has... I hope you'll join me in becoming an ardent opponent of the Columbia River Crossing, and that we need to move in another direction."
City Club's Leslie Morehead is asking the pair about good design. But in the current environment, what's the possibility of creating an iconic bridge? Burkholder says it's very high, "there's a possibility of a great bridge there." He doesn't think it'll necessarily be something you notice while driving across it--"you'll be paying attention to traffic," (which, I might add, you'll still probably be stuck in)--but will still be beautiful.
Cortright says if we build it, it ought to be beautiful. "But the decision of what this will look like is in the hands of the Oregon Department of Transportation and the Washington Department of Transportation." Once the cities sign off on a locally preferred option, it heads to those departments for real design work--and the cities are just advisory.
Chris Smith, city club member, is up asking a question. "It's really unclear how much control [the six local jurisdictions] have," he says, referring to yesterday's city council meeting. His question is, once the jurisdictions vote on the locally preferred option, will they ever have a chance to vote on details of things like number of lanes? Burkholder says the process needs to be consensual. If the region can't agree on something, the feds won't give us the money. "I believe in clean government and transparency, and I'm an optimist," says Burkholder, so he thinks everyone "will work together closely."
"I'm not so quick to trust the departments of transportation," says Cortright. For example, it's not really a 12-lane bridge, according to the departments of transportation--it's three through lanes, plus auxiliary lanes. "That can only charitably be described as Orwellian," he says.
Traffic over the I-5 bridge is down, asks Leslie Carlson, co-chair of the Sustainable Development Commission, while gas prices are up. But the project is modeled on gas prices in the $1.25 range. Why not study this based on updated data, Carlson asks?
"I'm not a data guy," says Burkholder, who says the project is studied based on the price per mile driven, which he says has remained "relatively unchanged," as people buy more efficient vehicles in response to gas prices. "People will change, the fleet mix will change, so the price stays about the same." Also, he says, "models aren't perfect," which is why this is a political process as well. We did not approve a 12-lane bridge on Tuesday night, we approved three lanes in each direction" plus auxiliary lanes.
Burkholder wants to clear up confusion about VMT. "Many of these trips are short," he says, with about 75 percent of trips getting off and on "in the project study area." That sounds to me like an argument in favor of giving people options that don't involve getting on an Interstate to travel less than five miles. I, for one, would love to skip the freeway when I'd like to hit Jantzen Beach--I'd love a route that would allow me to bike or ride my scooter.
"A lane is a lane is a lane. It adds capacity no matter what you call it," Cortright responds.
Why didn't the task force study commuter rail between Union Station and Vancouver's Amtrak Station? asks a man in a sharp plaid suit.
That's a misconception, contends Burkholder, who's doing a remarkable job of not answering the question. The railroad bridge had very little to do with the problems on the I-5 bridge, he says. We're spending less on infrastructure now than we did in the 1950s and 1960s.
Robert Liberty is up to ask the final question! "In December the Metro Council adopted a [plan] that identified a $7 billion shortfall for capital projects... should this be a priority?" How should the region prioritize projects for funding?
"There are lots of other priorities in this region," says Cortright, and this one ties up our capital for decades. "It's not the time to sign that giant promissory note, and fritter away our" ability to finance other projects in the future.
Burkholder says that's a false choice. This one will attract federal capital and be partially financed by tolls (probably on the I-205 bridge, too, FYI). "I think there's a lot of opportunity here to make this happen and do it in an environmentally sensitive way."

The feared combat box formation of heavy bombers was a three dimensional "object" flying across the sky thousands of feet above the ground. It was not a flat object, like a pancake, but a round and thorny cluster of aircraft that was just as tall as it was wide.
Period photographs taken from above or below those formations make them seem flatter than they really were. A B-17 at the topmost position could be over 600 feet higher than the bottommost bomber.
This schematic showing the box's side view, or elevation, gives an indication of the cluster's height, but this graphic does so at the expense of the box's three-dimensional breadth. A Bf109 engaging such a formation through its middle faced a more lethal threat than one nipping at its sides.
Along with breadth, altitude was a fundamental factor for a Luftwaffe pilot attempting to break up the combat box. An approach angle from above, diving towards the target, afforded that pilot an advantage of power and generous scope of view, and the increase of speed could minimize its exposure to enemy gunfire. Unfortunately, it also gave him less time to aim, which was a particular problem when approaching from the nose position. The combined speeds of the Bf109 and the B-17 allowed for a very limited window of time for effective fire. Weighing the advantage to do harm to the B-17 with the threat of harm from that same B-17 and its neighbors, is central to the play of this game.
In Skies Above the Reich, the design intent was to err in favor of simplicity rather than historical complexity. That means we don't ask the player to measure or count or comprehend altitude numerically. The game presents altitude in relative terms. Is the fighter higher or lower than the formation, or approximately level with it? The player is presented with basic choices regarding altitude. Dive down on the bomber, climb up to the bomber, or approach level with it? Level is your best shot, while climbing towards one's prey is asking for trouble.
The four Positions on the perimeter of the game board, representing space at a safe distance from the formation, are each organized according to altitude. The player maneuvers his assets around this perimeter, using its organization of altitude boxes to make decisions about how to approach the thorny target.
The Positions and their altitude boxes also regulate what happens when fighters break away from the formation and then return to the formation for another run. Does the Bf109 dive away towards the formation's tail, or does it roll towards the flank? Enemy escort may be climbing towards the formation or trailing behind it, so maybe you will choose to roll or climb instead and get back in front of the formation.
When tangling with enemy escort, altitude proves to be a crucial factor. Engaging from above provides an advantage, but American pilots know that too so they are likely to bounce your fighters from above. Deciding from where to approach the bomber formation thus must also factor in the presence or absence of escort. Can you sneak in an attack before they engage your fighters, or will they position themselves so that the most advantageous approaches are now death traps for your pilots?
Although those escort fighters may be out to flame your Bf109s, all they really have to do is engage them while the combat box continues towards its target. Time is limited even without the irritating and dangerous presence of fighter escort, and each mission will challenge you to make the most effective use of time.
More about time in the next article. For now, I'll leave you with this quote by Adolf Galland, illustrating the respect he gave to the B-17:
"German propaganda…changed the psychologically effective and suggestive name Flying Fortress to Flying Coffins. It used this expression over all the English-speaking radio talks transmitted to America and England. The German fighters, however, held quite a different opinion."
– The First and the Last
