Towson University offers Thank You Grants to qualified U.S. military personnel and recent veterans. As the name suggests, Thank You Grants reward active-duty personnel and veterans for their service by helping to defray the cost of attending the university.
The grants are intended to supplement Veterans Administration (VA) education benefits, which no longer cover full tuition for many veterans. In implementing the Thank You Grant program, TU seeks to reduce the financial strain these men and women often face while pursuing their degrees.
The Thank You Grant program awards up to $500 per term for eight terms for eligible students: newly admitted, currently enrolled and readmitted veterans or active-duty service members. Full-time students who meet all criteria would receive $500, with part-time students receiving $250 per term. Recipients must have degree-seeking status at TU. Applicants are also required to have been on active-duty status for no fewer than 12 months; veterans must have been released from service after October 24, 2001. Those on release status must be eligible for VA benefits.

Aside from being way too sweet, I thought it was good. Will make again, and just cut down on the oatmeal and brown sugar.
Reviewed Nov. 18, 2013
We really liked this recipe. The first time I followed it exactly and it turned out great. Recently I had some pears that I needed to do something with so I pulled this recipe out again. This time I used a 9 x 13 dish; didn't use any of the crumbles for a crust; all crumbles went on top; and used 8 to 10 pears. The results were just as good and probably saved a few calories!

Very good recipe, followed it exactly and came out great.

Generosity keeps this community together
Back when I was in school and found myself with a pile of posters or fliers to post around campus – be it for a open mic night, an art opening or a friend's acting class production – it seemed nearly impossible to find a place these bulletins were welcome. Most bulletin boards on campus were monitored, and if whatever event didn't have a direct correlation to the university, the posters were usually taken down.
This town, as a whole, seems to embrace nearly the opposite. Everywhere I go, from grabbing coffee in the morning at the Hy-Vee gas station to walking along the square, it seems that these fliers are not only nearly everywhere, but comepletely welcome as well.
They're for fundraisers, local music and benefits for residents; for dinners, 5Ks and community events. While I'll admit I've been in attendance at merely a handful of such events, I always hear good things – a testament to the generosity of the residents of Newton, both former and present.

Press Release 13 November 2007
Rome November 13 2007 - Saudi Aramco President and CEO Abdullah S. Jum'ah today addressed attendees of the 20th Congress of the World Energy Council, where he demonstrated that there are enough conventional and non-conventional liquid energy resources available for petroleum to be a significant part of the global energy mix for decades to come.
In a speech titled Global Oil Resources and the World's Energy Future: A Holistic View, Jum'ah examined the more than 30 years of doomsday forecasts that have been put forward about the petroleum industry and that have since been proven false. He offered a statistical basis for his argument that forecasts for the ultimate recovery of conventional oil resources have actually increased over time.
"In general, we have grossly underestimated mankind's ability to find new reserves of petroleum," he said, "as well as our capacity to raise recovery rates and tap fields once thought inaccessible or impossible to produce. On balance, I am confident that this growth trend can continue. But confidence is no excuse for complacency, and I also believe we must take a hard look at the Earth's total endowment of liquid fuels, and realistically assess our ability to meet future demand for energy."
In addition to conventional oil, Jum'ah stated his belief that non-conventional resources of liquid energy such as condensates, natural gas liquids, tar sands, bitumen, extra heavy oil, oil shales, gas-to-liquids, coal-to-liquids and bio fuels will ultimately contribute to the global supplies of petroleum that are currently meeting consumers' needs. "The amount of conventional oil-in-place is somewhere between six and eight trillion barrels, depending on whether you go with the Conservative or Target Scenario," he said.
"The volume of non-conventional oil-in-place is rather murkier, with a Conservative Scenario figure of seven trillion barrels and a Target Scenario number of roughly eight trillion barrels or higher," he added.
"But let us also remember that we basically know where these non-conventional liquids are located," Jum'ah said, "and that there is little or no exploration work to be done when it comes to these resources." Jum'ah went on to explain that most of the non-conventional resources are located in the Western Hemisphere and that that region will play a greater role in the future of petroleum.
Jum'ah noted that, taking into account both conventional and non-conventional resources, there are between 13 trillion barrels and 16 trillion barrels of total in-place liquids available worldwide. "To put those figures in perspective," he said, "to date we have consumed only 1.1 trillion barrels of oil, or seven to nine percent of resources in place. Nearly all of that was conventional oil."
Jum'ah emphasized that recovery of liquid energy resources, particularly non-conventional resources, will be impacted by a complex interaction of factors including advances in technology, recovery efficiency, demand and its growth, levels of financial investment, economics, policies pursued by both consuming and producing governments, and environmental considerations. He said that though the world average recovery rate of conventional oil fields remains at 35 percent, "under the Target Scenario, the world as a whole could add up to a trillion barrels of additional reserves from known fields. Even under much more conservative assumptions made by some analysts in the Conservative Scenario, there will be another 200 billion barrels of conventional recoverable oil resources to be tapped from already discovered fields."
Jum'ah stated that maintenance of the world's conventional oil reserves is equally split between national oil companies (NOC) and international oil companies (IOC). But access to practically all non-conventional reserves falls to the IOCs. He also said that it is largely the IOC's that are pursuing niche opportunities like ultra-deep water and Arctic plays. "The development of conventional and non-conventional liquid fuel resources will take place over many decades," Jum'ah said, "and I will exercise caution in trying to stake out exact timetables. However, I believe there will be a predictable sequence to this development, as dictated by both technology and economics."
Regarding bio fuels, Jum'ah noted that their growth will be the result of government policies and initiatives rather than market fundamentals. He spoke of the pressure that bio fuels exert on both arable land and on food supplies needed to feed a growing global population. He also addressed the resulting increase in the use of pesticides and fertilizers used in the production of bio fuels that is expected to have its own environmental implications. "Frankly, there are huge uncertainties associated with biofuels, and I think it is therefore difficult to predict with any degree of certainty their ultimate contribution to the global energy mix," he said.
Tackling environmental issues associated with the energy industry was a major theme that Jumah discussed. He stated that the two most pragmatic and least disruptive methods of lightening the environmental impact of energy use and consumption were improved efficiency and R&D efforts. He also said that alternative energy sources such as nuclear, renewables, or even coal, though not applicable to the transportation industry, "are needed and welcomed."
"And eventually these fuel sources will become a more important component of global energy supplies," he said. "But we must be realistic about the pace of their future development, and understand that for the foreseeable future, their significance in the energy supply mix will continue to be limited."
Jum'ah concluded his remarks with an exhortation to worry not about "peak oil" scenarios, but to worry about ignoring liquid fuels in our energy policies and investment decisions and discouraging its development and growth on various pretexts. "Such steps would, without a doubt, stunt the development of new technologies, undermine efforts to produce more environmentally friendly and cleaner liquid fuels, and block some of the available liquid resources from being converted into economic supplies to meet the world's growing need for energy," he said.

The Winner Takes it All
No, watching Eurovision isn't making me nostalgic for ABBA (but by the way how great was the Twitter conversation on the night!).
No. The title for this blog is inspired by some data we have from our mobile passive measurement panel.
This is a slide taken from some analysis of our Mobile App Tracker data; it shows the reach of the top 100 apps used in the past month.
It illustrates how behaviour in the mobile space, currently focuses around some key apps – where the top 10 apps dominate, being used by at least by 9% or more of our Passive Mobile Panellists. But the next 90 apps only have reach of around 8%-1%.
These top 10 apps tend to be well known brands in the mobile / social networking / retail sector. They tend to have been first to market with great apps that offer good usability and are different to what else is being offered. And also importantly these apps are free.
So if you are a business whose customers are using a website to do business with you, and you haven't already developed an app, given the increase in smartphone usage it would seem timely to do so. It will need to gain high visibility, be free and offer a really good, sticky user experience.
And probably the best example of just how successful a single app franchise can be is Angry Birds – an app which arguably now has a bigger reach in the UK than Coronation Street. And it has now passed the one billion download mark.
So maybe I should re-phrase my title, less winner takes it all, maybe it's that early (angry) bird that truly does get the worm.

REVIEW: 'Let's Twist Again: with the Wanderers'
Date: October 26, 2012
by: Paula Atwell | Theater Critic
They're a hoppin' and a boppin' and a doo-woppin' at Florida Studio Theatre's Cabaret again this fall, and I haven't lost that lovin' feeling for four swoony guys in turquoise ties — call them the Wanderers, yeah, the Wanderers, they get around, etc. I do know why I love them like I do, so I don't have to wonder who wrote the book of love because it's Richard Hopkins and Jim Prosser with an assist from Rebecca Hopkins. John Franceschina, musical director, can light my fire each and every day of the year with his groovy, head-bobbing arrangements. To cap this rave, I'll just add a quote from my neighbor and dinner companion, Phyllis Mallette, "I could sit here and watch it all over again!"
Rocking the soprano falsetto in songs like "Sherry, Baby" and "Big Girls Don't Cry," Eric Collins reprises his performance from the Cabaret's 2010 sold-out production of "The Wanderers." Bringing the alto and plenty of boyish charm, Brett Rigby mawkishly feigns losing his cool in "Teenager in Love." He's reprimanded by Jose Restrepo, who cracks, "Dude, you're 32," and advises him to "Walk Like a Man." Restrepo supplies tenor and some mucho caliente Ecuadorian magnetism. On bass, Teddy Tinson ding-a-dang-dongs such tunes as "Blue Moon," anchoring the close harmony guy group.
No singing heads here, choreographer Stephen Hope moves these coordinated lover boys around, supplying them with period-perfect dance steps and synchronized gestures. They do the mashed potatoes, they do the twist, so tell me baby, do you like it like this? I sure do!
Jim Prosser's magic fingers hammer two keyboards and pump that classic beat.
Costume designer, Susan Angermann, adds her impeccable taste to the mix, adorning the group in blacks slacks, white jackets, with matching turquoise hankies and ties in the first act and slipping them into blue, teal, magenta and fuschia shirts with vests, for the second. Great lighting by Kate Dewall, sound by Ryan Kilcourse, and a light menu and full bar round out a highly entertaining evening.

I've always been particularly intrigued by the defense industry in general amongst many other industries as I have a pretty strong entrepreneurial spirit since I was a kid, starting my first website that made several hundred dollars in profit in 8th grade. Now I'm a junior in college studying comp. sci and mathematics however I also run an online electronics business on the side. However, I am always eager to work on new startups and I was thinking down the road about getting into the defense industry. Right now I have a lot on my plate but I am a person who thinks long term so I have a few questions for the audience here at onstartups:
The weapons/defense/military industry is pretty private, and its much more complex than starting any old online business nowadays where information is readily available, how can I go about learning more about this industry?
I have no friends/connections to anyone in the industry either but all I know is I like the chemistry behind explosives, rockets, and I like computer science/programming (I've only learned Python so far though, working on C++ next). How could I apply those things to something related to the defense industry? Since I'm not an expert on chemistry I was thinking maybe I could work somewhere I can provide help in satellites/security networks-infrastructure/or drones-missile guidance systems?
I know from past business/startup experience that in order to create a successful business you must address an issue or problem that industry is having, however, I don't know enough about the industry itself to even figure out what problems need solving..any pointers in the right direction are appreciated.

Editor's Note: Neurobiologist Rita Levi-Montalcini, a Nobel laureate in physiology or medicine in 1986, died December 30 at the age of 103. This story was originally published in the January 1993 issue of Scientific American.
As a feminist in a family with Victorian mores and as a Jew and free-thinker in Mussolini's Italy, Rita Levi-Montalcini has encountered various forms of oppression many times in her life. Yet the neurobiologist, whose tenacity and preciseness are immediately apparent in her light, steel-blue eyes and elegant black-and-white attire, embraces the forces that shaped her. "If I had not been discriminated against or had not suffered persecution, I would never have received the Nobel Prize," she declares.

Statement by Dr. H.A.P. Kahandaliyanage, Secretary, Ministry of Healthcare & Nutrition of Sri Lanka at the High-Level Segment ECOSOC, Geneva, 6th July 2009
Report on "South Asia Regional Ministerial Meeting on Financing Strategies for Healthcare", 16–18 March 2009, Colombo, Sri Lanka
Mr. Chairman,
It is my pleasure to participate at this High-level Segment of ECOSOC, dealing with the 2009 Annual Ministerial Review on the theme of Implementing the Internationally Agreed Goals and commitments in regard to global public health. I have listened carefully to the thought-provoking statements on this important subject made by the distinguished Speakers who have taken the floor before me.
The Annual Ministerial Review process has strengthened the role of ECOSOC in tracking progress and stepping up efforts towards the realization of the Internationally Agreed Development Goals including the MDGs by 2015 target date. The achievement of the IADG'S including MDG's requires a global partnership and a coordinated approach, and the High-level segment of ECOSOC provides an opportunity for such an integrated policy dialogue among all stake-holders including governments, civil society , international financial institutions, private sector, academics and UN agencies. The ultimate objective is to generate added momentum to the timely realization of the IADG's and the MDG's.
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Previous Ministerial Reviews of 2007 and 2008 have focused on key MDGs - eradicating poverty and hunger. Sri Lanka is pleased that the 2009 Review focuses on the implementation of the commitments in the Health sector, the subject of three MDG's, and an area in which Sri Lanka, despite relatively limited resources , has many experiences, lessons and successes to share. As a result of our commitment over several decades towards human development and social progress, and targeted policy interventions, we are satisfied that today we are well on track to achieve the health-related MDG's.
It was against this background that Sri Lanka had volunteered to contribute to the 2009 Ministerial Review process by hosting the South Asia Regional Preparatory Meeting on Financing Strategies for Health Care , 16-18th March in Colombo. The Colombo meeting was one of the five country-led regional meetings which were held in support of preparations towards this session of the ECOSOC AMR.
The Meeting was hosted by the Government of Sri Lanka in collaboration with UNDESA and WHO. 121 delegates attended the Meeting, including several at Ministerial level. Participation was obtained from a wide spectrum of stake-holders – senior Government representatives, UN entities, financial Institutions, funding agencies, regional organizations, civil society, private sector and academia.
The Agenda of the meeting was divided into the Opening Session followed by four substantive sessions, as follows
Ø Financing strategies for healthcare Including external financing
Ø Health systems in crisis situation
Ø Initiatives and recommendations presenting best practices and new initiatives
Ø Progress in MDGS
The Opening Session was addressed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka Hon. Rohitha Bogollagama and the Minister for Healthcare and Nutrition Hon. Nimal Siripala de Silva. The Keynote Address was delivered by the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka Hon. Ratnasiri Wickramanayaka. Opening remarks were also addressed by Mr. Thomas Steltzer, Assistant-Secretary- General UNDESA and Mr. Anarfi Asamoa-Baah, Deputy Director-General World Health Organization. The Vice-President of ECOSOC H.E. Ambassador Hamidon Ali, Permanent Representative of Malaysia to the UN in New York also addressed the Opening Session.
Discussions took place against the backdrop of a worsening international economic and financial crisis and other crises which affect progress in the achievement of the MDG's, including in the health sector. The Asian region is very diverse and national health expenditures vary significantly. Solutions to challenges in the health sector needs to be geared towards special needs and peculiar circumstances of each country. The participants examined key challenges that countries, particularly low-income countries face in financing their health systems in the process of achieving the Internationally Agreed Goals on global public health. They discussed how the international community can support countries as they move towards universal coverage by (a) increasing funding in health (b) making it more predictable (d) channeling funds to recipient countries in ways that strengthen national financing systems, and better financing of health in crisis situation. While civil society and the private sector have important roles to play, the public sector has to take the lead role to deliver effective and equitable health services. Public-private partnerships are central for achieving the desired outcomes.
The key messages that merged from the discussions were as follows:
· With regard to domestic sources of healthcare financing, it was agreed that for universal coverage to be achieved, we need to find increased domestic funding and enhance efficiency in the use of resources. Equitable access to healthcare requires a move away from out-of-pocket payments to other options. Even though national growth rates were reducing against the current global background, rising incomes provide an opportunity in many Asian countries to expand domestic health funding.
· With regard to external sources of funding, it was agreed that this needs to increase, and become more predictable and better aligned with national priorities. Innovative sources for health financing should be additional and not a substitute for external ODA funding. Donors tendency to focus on particular countries while neglecting others, is to be avoided.
· With regard to health care in conflict situations, improving health care is possible even when countries are facing crises. Expenditure on heath care should be on par with other areas in the recovery and rehabilitation phases.
The meeting was followed by a field visit to several locations in the Central Province of Sri Lanka to observe some aspects of the healthcare facilities in operation in the sectors of tertiary healthcare and medical education, primary healthcare and community participation in primary healthcare.
The Meeting offered a number of recommendations for consideration by the Economic and Social Council, and actors within the region. These recommendations placed before you in document E/2008/88 for consideration and inclusion in the outcome of this session of ECOSOC.
Finally, I would also like to place on record the important contribution made by the UN Department for Economic & Social Affairs (UNDESA) towards the Annual Ministerial Review process, as well as in the Organization and the successful outcome of the Asian Regional Ministerial Meeting in Sri Lanka.
I thank you.
3rd July 2009

Matchbox - Rockville
Online Reservations
The food prepared to an excellent standard with creative specials. Each Matchbox has a unique chef who blends in a little of their own flavor while keeping the menu favorites the same. High quality menu at a very reasonable price, always a favorite.
This was my second time dining at Matchbox. During my first visit, I was dining solo. I sat at the bar that overlooks the pizza making area. It was great to sit and watch the pizzas beeing made while I dined. The pizza was divine --- great crust, right size and right amount of sauce. My second experience was with a friend. We shared the mini trio appetizers --- scallops, crab cake, and bunless burger. It was superb. For dinner I had the salmon --- cooked to perfection with a mustard sauce. My friend had the special which was swordfish with mussels in a sauce. Shared chocolate chip bread pudding for dessert and it was tasty, especially the sauce. Waitress was very attentive.
Food is good, atmosphere is beautiful and I will give good compliments about your place to friends !
First time at matchbox rockville location and first time for brunch. The Rockville location is spacious with multiple outdoor searing options. Brunch was outstanding. I had the French toast and my friend had the frittata. Both were great. Will definitely be back.
I love the location and menu choices. The staff was friendly and professional.
I will definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends & family........great food ,wonderful service .This was one of our best Wed. lunch destination & will consider coming back
I went so many times that I can not count. My favorite, the fruit pizza as dessert. Great food in a nice environment. Can be noisy and very busy sometimes for diner. Make a reservation.
The sliders were delish!! The vegetarian pizza was good, maybe not the best pizza, but great thin-crust pizza. Decently priced and trendy ambiance.
This was an excellent place for families.. the food was great, and the prices were reasonable.. we will go back again
This was my first time at the Rockville location and it was great. We were quickly seated and the ordered food came out quickly! Good service as well.
Food is always good, a nice selection, fun desserts, an easy place to bring children yet not intrusive if you are with adults only.
Staff at the front door have no clue what they're doing. I stood behind a guest who had checked in with someone at the host stand. She then left and her colleague, who had been there the entire time, never addressed me. I had to work my way around the guests ahead to assert myself. She asked me twice what my name was and seemed very distracted and apathetic. Did not seem as professional as three other matchboxes I had been too. Need better hospitality training. Server could not have been nicer and food was great as always.
We've been here several times before. The food is always good. This was the first time I have ordered steak. The ribeye with brussel sprouts and cheesy mashed cauliflower. It was cooked to the perfect temp, medium, but the flavor wasn't there. It just tasted like cooked meat. Our waiter, Albert was awesome though. He called over the manager and he offered me another entrée. I opted to just eat the sides and have dessert. The steak was comped as well as dessert and a gracious apology. I did take it home to re season. Dessert special was very good.
Even though I booked a reservation, I still had a long wait. I had to go up twice to check on the status of my reservation. I arrived at 7 but didn't get sat until 8:15.
Not suitable for business lunches. The noise level andusuc blaring is way too distracting.
The pizza dough they serve to kids while they are waiting is a great idea! It kept my 6 and 3 year old entertained until their dinner came. Great restaurant!
My wife and I wanted a nice casual dinner and that is exactly what Matchbox provides. Both the hamburger and chicken sandwiches were well prepared--the onion rings are fantastic! We sat on the outside patio and had a nice relaxing evening. Service was quick, attentive and friendly. All in all, a nice place for an evening meal.
Our food was delicious and Hana gave us the best service we can imagine. That being said, we can't give this location a 5 star rating because the horrible music is played at a level in attempt to be heard over the crowd. There are no few soft surfaces here so the noise is quite loud. The other downside to this location is that we have to agree with the other reviews: the host/hostess desk is not staffed by the best employees for the job.
Matchbox never seems to disappoint! and taking 2 kids to dinner went as smoothly as possible! great and fast service! will be back soon!
We were very satisfied with our recent visit to Matchbox. My twin daughters were celebrating their birthday. They felt they were treated royally. Food is always superb! Service went the extra mile.
Delicious as per usual! I always leave in a food coma
Once again, the food and service were the best they could be. We wish the front desk staff were as good. And as usual, the awful music was blaring. We guess we are old; we don't get the choice or volume.
We held a celebratory office lunch at Matchbox and received a great, round table for the group. We were seated promptly and received drinks right away. We did seem to wait a while to place our order, but the food came out quickly. Everything was as ordered and delicious. This prices are resonable and the food/service is consistently good. We look forward to our next visit.
During my party, I enjoyed the food and the unique, trendy dining setting. I was happy to have a table with myself and friends. The server was receptive of my requests. Overall, I recommend Matchbox to anyone, especially anyone planning a party or group lunch meeting.
Al family group including one small child for brunch. Our server was wonderful - attentive and efficient. The food was enjoyed by everyone.
I had the calamari salad and it's now one of my favorite. Pizzas are awesome, great combinations.
I credit the restaurant for the kids behavior. There were plenty of coke refills and an attentive waitress. The kids found something they liked to eat and the ambiance was to their liking as it was to my wife and myself. The entire evening was a success given the combination of things in our favor. This is the first time in 18 years we've managed such a pleasant evening out. And the 18 year old wasn't there and he was the most well mannered of the bunch.
Host told me something that wasn't true. I called before and ask about drinks, she told me wrong information. I was disappointed. I called 9:15 pm Saturday night i was given wrong information. I told everyone in my party that wrong information as well. I mentioned it to the Manger.
Enjoyed this spot again. Particularly like the great and friendly service. Crab soup very good. Chopped salad a bit boring. Pizza very good.
my wife and I worked late and decided to try Matchbox in Rockville. Delicious food and fun interiors, almost so much fun that I actually wanted our hostess to take us around and show us around to the mezzanine, outdoor bar, etc.
This was our first time at Matchbox in Rockville and we had a great experience and will certainly return. My cubano sandwich was the best I have ever had and my wife's pizza was very good, too.
The food and service were excellent. I had a wonderful visit with my friend. They graciously responded to our request to be seated at a different table. I was quite impressed. Wait staff was excellent.
We had friends visiting from out of town and wanted to dine near our office. We chose Matchbox because the food, service, and ambience are consistently excellent. And I am picky. We had 6 guests. The salads are always delicious. We enjoyed the crab avocado appetizer as a meal. It is an ample serving and nice presentation. I have never had anything but delicious food and prompt, friendly service. The prices are reasonable and the restaurant is large and light. Outside seating is fun around a fire pit when it is not too cold.
Great Pizza, love the appetizers and salads. Unfortunately, just too loud to enjoy conversation.
Matchbox pizza is very good but they also have good assortment of beers on tap, nice wine list and cocktails. They have a very tasty selections of appetizers and great entries for those who do not want pizza.
I was going to an event in Rockville and wanted to find a place to have brunch close to the event space. I'd never been to Matchbox before and didn't know what to expect. The design is gorgeous--two levels, plus a quieter room past the back. The host staff was great, and our server was the right level of attentive. I enjoyed my meal very much, and there was plenty for my friend who's a vegetarian to choose from. Though it was noisy, we were able to hold a conversation in our normal speaking voices. I would definitely go back again.
Really enjoyed brunch, especially the speciality cocktails and the breakfast pizza.
This was our first time. We were in the mood for pizza so we ordered the prosciutto and fig pizza along with the spinach salad and the calamari salad. A beer and a glass of wine completed our order. Everything was fantastic!!!!! The food, the wine, the service...could not have been better. We'll be back!
The wait staff were attentive and competent and the pizza was fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Went there with my boyfriend for Saturday brunch and it was wonderful! The food was terrific and the service was great! The cast iron skillet cinnamon rolls and steak and eggs were to die for and the pizza was fantastic. I'd highly recommend Matchbox!
Went for my son's birthday with his girlfriend and best friend. We had a great time. The food is good, but not great. The crab soup was loaded with crab, a bit spicy, but seemed to be lacking something that I can't put my finger on. I had a salad that had a wonderful balsalmic dressing and was wonderful. The service was fair... they were very busy. I personally hate waiting for my coffee. On the other hand, they brought a huge bread pudding with a candle for my son's birthday. The crab cakes were good, according to gf and friend, but my husband did not enjoy his steak sandwich and thought even the spread for the bread was way too salty. I would go again, but would order very carefully. It also was quite noisy....
Staff was courteous and friendly, especially our server, Hana. She picked a great shiraz for me to go with our pizza, as well as our dessert, piping hot home made donuts. She also suggested if we wanted to try more than one pizza that we could do half pizzas, which was great because it was so hard to pick from all the delicious options. Well done!
I made reservations for 13 people for my daughter's sweet 16 birthday dinner. I picked the spot because the menu looked amazing and versatile enough for picky teens and adults alike. Most reviewers complained of the noise level but it is more like an organized chaos that you would expect to hear at a restaurant with a bar/television area. We were seated by the bar downstairs but there is a full length partition that blocks the view from that area. That was perfect because my husband had to actually get up to see the score of the Maryland game. The appetizers are filling and very good. I couldn't eat but a slice of my pizza afterwards and I wasn't the only one. Our server TJ was very respectable and kind.
The house salad and crab soup were exceptional. The decor is brutalist beauty. The music was background but memorable. Best of all, the service was unforgettable. The server was quick. Detailed, charming, and energetic. He offered to refill my iced tea not one time, not two times, but seventeen times more or less! Definitely will return!
Had a good time although the server disappeared on us a couple of times, food quality and portions were spot on.
The restaurant is beautiful inside snd was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The food and service wad excellent. The noise levewas a bit high and it wad challenging to hold conversation. The overall dining experience was lovely. I would recommend it to family and friends. As a romantic or intimate place I wouldn't really categorize this as a place for that.
Having my friend's 50th birthday dinner, I made the reservation two weeks in advance. Instead of a table that would comfortably hold 10 or 11 people, we were squeezed into two tables pushed together. It was crowded and tight. If you can book the large round table upstairs it is far better. Other than the tight table, we had a lovely evening. Good food, great service and a fun atmosphere.
A drink was spilled (by mistake) on one of my friends and Matchbox paid for her entire bill. This was a perfect way to take care of the situation. We all had a great time and the food was delicious!
Since we were there during the week we did not have to wait to get seated.
For special occasions, my family like coming to Matchbox...I think it's the only modern, updated happenening place in Rockville. When its not too cold , we always do alfresco dining around the fire pit. The service is always top notch.

What timing would you recommend for your 'Y' wind motors. Cheers, Mark |
Feb 10, 2013, 03:24 PM | ||
Your best bet is to send the controller or just the logic board to me and in the mean time i could send you a budget controller. Regarding the ''tried and tested'' thing. Electric parts differ as they come off the production line, some parts are better then others and i suspect the voltage doubler. You would have the same problem with more volts and a lower Kv motor on this ESC. The great thing about the big mod is that this voltage doubler is replaced by a much more capable 12V linear regulator. In the past we have always kind of thought it was the SO8 over heating on higher input voltages as it has to then turn 25V into 5V where 20V becomes heat. Altho there is a lot of truth to this, lately it seems more and more that the actual problem is the weak voltage doubler. In that case you can have a problem running on 2S as much as on 6S. For those out there who have burnt an ICE controller, ask your self if you have any idea about how the power feed to the fet drivers is done. |

More Test Results:
I exchanged the original cc125 with another cc125, and the problem persists. I also used a different RX to no avail. I also tested my TX with the same model memory with another model, and there was no problem. I tested the motor with a multimeter to make sure the resistances between the different motor leads were zero and that there was infinite resistance between each lead and the motor case--all checked out well. In all, it seems that the problem is either in the brand new motor (direct from Neu Motors), or has to do with ESC settings. I will try what Steve Neu recommends regarding ESC settings. |
Feb 10, 2013, 04:46 PM | |
Interresting, it is unlikely for both P125's to show exactly the same behaviour. I would have thought that most of them would be OK with this setup in stock form.
Having said that, the budget controller using George's firmware has a completely different startup routine and you may find this to be much better. Please have a look on my blog and you can also discuss there if you find you need to adjust the software further to suit this motor. I would save the P125's for use with the big mod and 4S to 6S. Works well with a Neu 1512/1.5D or similar. |

If you recall, here is the Before:
And here is the After:
Isn't she a beauty? I tell ya, my husband is sure glad this little project is done. Because, you see, he did it (actually, he painted it but isn't that the biggest part?)
Mike hates spray paint. I do too, but his feelings run a little deeper than mine. I can't do the fumes right now as I am pregnant (hey, it is a good excuse!) so he had to spray it. I watched through the patio door and would frantically wave my arms if he was spraying with the can too close. I'm sure it was funny to watch from the outside.
We painted the outside blue, and the inside white. Lucky for us, the owl-loving previous owner had left a great white ceramic knob that we re-used. Thank you!
And I'm so glad we did it that way. More complicated and uses a lot more painter's tape, but I like how it is brighter now. It showcases my thread wonderfully!
I was all done putting my thread in and about to hang it on the wall, and decided that the white interior was good, but not quite good enough. I dug through my 12 pieces of scrapbook paper (seriously, I don't have much) and found the perfect polka dot in yellow. Do you believe in crafter's fate? I just cut it to size and slipped it in there. It isn't even glued in.
Anyway, I love it. It is up on the wall, and now it begs to have something gracing it on the left side, in the big empty space next to it. I'm off to brainstorm.

Broccoli is one of those veggies that makes a good sidekick, but it's not much of a star. Sure, it holds up well in stir fry and I do love me some savory sweet broccoli slaw in the summer but even when it is blanched, I find the true essence of broccoli to be woody and just a bit ho hum. And I'm usually of the mind that if the only way I can enjoy a particular veggie is to douse it in cheese, heavy cream, eggs, or butter, then it's probably not worth keeping in the dinner rotation. However, I'm also of the mind that eating well on a reasonable budget and being a resourceful home cook means working with what's cheap, seasonal and plentiful. So, since broccoli was 99 cents a pound last week and I do love me some pesto, I decided to make Deb's broccoli cream pesto pasta. Life's just more fun when you embrace contradiction, anyway.
If you like broccoli cheese soup, pesto, or broccoli slaw, this pasta hits on all those cravings. The flavour is a little bland as written, but you can add more heat, acid or cheese to your tastes. I added extra garlic, red chilies and a bunch of lemon zest. I also roasted some prawns with lemon zest and red chillies and added those at the end. Next time, I'll also add a splash of white white. If you object to the use of the term "pesto" without the presence of nuts, I could see toasted finely chopped almonds working well in this dish as well, to complement the woody flavour of the broccoli and add a bit more depth. And with so few components, I would recommend grana padano or parmigiano regianno. I used shredded light parm and it was a sad mistake. So, do as I say and not as a I do This pasta is creamy and cheesey and yet somehow still light, even for a pasta. As it turns out, contradiction is also delicious.
