Occupational Licensing Map
As in every other state, people in Missouri who wish to pursue employment in certain occupations are required to obtain approval from the government before being legally authorized to perform that service. Luckily, Missouri has the fewest statewide licensing requirements of all the states. Nonetheless, government regulations throughout Missouri at the state, county, and city levels require licenses for many occupations. That's why we've created "Show-Me: The Licensing," an interactive map displaying a survey of licensing information at multiple government levels throughout Missouri. The economic issues and effects of licensing are outlined in the accompanying documentation of this online survey and the related case study of massage therapy in Missouri and Kansas. But with "Show-Me: the Licensing," the Show-Me Institute has created an online tool to help Missourians know which licenses are required at which levels of government throughout the state.
Our interactive map provides links to the primary websites of many of the licensing agencies. We list all the statewide licenses, and the licensed required by counties and cities can be seen by clicking on each jurisdiction. Fortunately for the Missouri economy, the large majority of Missouri counties license only the occupations that the state requires them to regulate: generally plumbers, electricians, auctioneers, and notary publics, depending on the county. Larger counties and cities, however, license many more occupations. The information provided by this tool can help Missourians make choices, such as where to live or work, by keeping this licensing information in mind. We must protect against allowing the existing practitioners of any occupation to raise barriers to enter the profession, which decreases competition, raises prices, and hurts Missouri consumers. People should not need a permission slip from the government in order to work in Missouri!

We spend the majority of our lives at work. Indeed, most of us still spend hours a week commuting to a physical office where we are paid to beaver away in Dilbert-like cubicles. Some of us love it. Some of us hate it.
But what is the future of work in our digital age of always-on connectivity? Can the old office survive or will we all soon work from home and rarely even meet our fellow workers?
Here are five reasons we believe that the 20th century office is history.
1. We now carry our smart devices everywhere we go. By 2020, Ericsson research predicts there will be 50 billion connected devices in the world. And many of these networked devices -- like self-driving cars or Google Glasses -- will be so smart to create what the futurist Kevin Ashton calls an "Internet of Things."
But what about a smart office?
The problem with the physically fixed office is that it is, by definition, dumb. The traditional downtown office isn't flexible, adaptable or, above all, mobile. It's increasingly an archaic leftover of industrial society in today's hyper-connected, infinitely mobile world.
In today's networked age, we no longer need to travel to work. Instead, work travels with us wherever we go.
Anything that can be done in the office can be just as easily done on our smartphones, tablets and laptops. That local coffee house or the wi-fi enabled plane or the smart car or, above all, the connected home, are now at least as productive and collaborative a working environment as any traditional office.
This fundamental change in the nature of work is brilliantly captured in an illuminating new book by Scott Berkun entitled: "The Year Without Pants: WordPress.com and the Future of Work". Berkun spends a year working at the blogging software company WordPress in which everybody works remotely and there are no schedules, few meetings and even fewer rules. As more and more work from home, Berkun concludes, none of us will need to wear pants in the future.
The very nature of work is radically changing too. As more and more of us are self-employed in what Daniel Pink calls "The Free Agent Nation", work can no longer be marginalized in a nine-to-five office. And work -- as the Richard Florida argues in "The Rise of the Creative Class" -- is increasingly dependent on creativity rather than obeying the orders of a boss within a hierarchical organization.
For better or worse, work in today's digital society is ubiquitous. As the distinguished economist Tyler Cowen notes in his controversial book, "Average Is Over" , society is increasingly diverging into a small elite of highly skilled networked workers and a massive underclass of average people whose skills have less and less value.
The old office is for average people, average ideas and average companies. If you want to excel, escape your cubicle and take your work wherever you go.
2. But what about the division of labor, I hear you saying. Surely we'll still need offices to gather people of different skills who can collectively create products.
Yet networked technology solves this problem. Yes, even in an age when Average Is Over, we'll still need groups of people with different skills to produce things. But networked technology enables us to put together teams outside the physical walls of the traditional office.
New platforms like Taskrabbit and Mobileworks are undermining the need for full-time workers by enabling firms to outsource all their labor requirements.
The death of the office may be partly a generational thing. As the Gen Y expert, Dan Schwabel, notes in "Promote Yourself: The New Rules for Career Success" , today's millennial generation of digital natives are instinctively group-orientated and so are naturally comfortable with networks like Mobileworks that enable them to collaborate with others.
On Taskrabbit, any task -- from traditional bookkeeping to 3D manufacturing to cooking or cleaning -- can be outsourced. Anyone can run a company without needing an army of full-time staff.
It's not just physical offices that will be impacted by these collaborative platforms. As Chris Anderson notes in "Makers", the 3D printing revolution will eventually replace factories too. And so networks like Taskrabbit or Mobileworks will eventually become the virtual manufacturing plants of the digital age -- enabling us to produce clothing or electronics from the comfort of our own desktops.
Netscape co-founder Marc Andreesen says that "software is eating the world".
Yes. And it's eating the office too.
3. Video conferencing technology from companies like Skype is now so cheap and reliable that virtual meetings are just as productive as any office meeting. Video conferencing is also more productive because it enables multi-tasking.
This is more than just convenience thing. Video has emerged as the dominant medium of our digital age -- a mode of communication with which digital natives are, in some ways, more comfortable than physical interaction.
On YouTube, the video platform with more than a billion monthly unique users in 56 discrete national markets, 100 hours of video are uploaded every minute with 6 billion hours of video being consumed each month. The short-messaging video network Vine has gone viral. And we are now using 2 billion minutes on Skype each day.
So how much is 2 billion minutes?
"That's enough time to travel to the moon and back over 225,000 times, walk around Earth more than 845 times or travel to Mars more than 5,400 times," says the Skype blog.

Labor and BirthThe event of labor comes in stages. Here, you will get an overview of what to expect, how to know you are in labor, what you should do when labor starts, and which warning signs may be cause for concern. During Stage 1, you will experience what's known as "early labor," followed by "active labor," and a transition in which your cervix fully dilates. Stage 2 is the birth of your baby, followed by Stage 3, the afterbirth, when you push out the placenta. In this section, you will get explanations of what your body will go through during each of these stages. Most recent page update: 9/9/2010

I saw him again this summer at the Newport Folk Festival and he was darn near the best player on the side stage. His reworking of Woody Guthrie's "This Morning I was Born Again" puts most of the "alt-country" crowd to shame. He also understands musical economics. Ten selections, and not one of them a filler. (Are you listening Ryan Adams?) I have played "One Good Year" several times when I feel down, and it never fails to give me a surge of willpower. I can't recommend Slaid Cleaves and "Broke Down" enough, and especially if he's playing near enough to your town to get into a show.
The great Gurf Morlix and the other musicians add texture to this album, as well. This album is well worth adding to your collection.

How Much Longer Do We Have To Put Up With These Bottom Feeders That Call Themselves Republicans?
Friday, July 15th, 2011Frankly I'm disgusted with the behavior of these so called conservatives. They aren't conservatives. They're hypocrites. Two face, double dealing liars, labeling themselves as Republicans. Many of them claiming to be Christians. I call them domestic terrorists. They're not only responsible for allowing the worst attack on U.S. soil under their idol George Bush's regime, but they have systematically ruined this country. The Republican's behavior is appalling and disgusting.
Why are we putting up with these worthless traitors that call themselves Americans? They empower themselves by wearing guns strapped to their waist and flaunting their large cache of weapons. Why don't we all do the same? They fly the American flag as if it only belongs to them. Why aren't we taking back patriotism. We own patriotism just as much as they do, and don't you forget it. Why aren't we using the same rhetoric as they are? In fact, let's do it! Lock and load! Don't retreat, reload! Fight fire with fire! We have allowed these bottom feeders to take over this country, and for what reason? Because we want to take the high road? There is no high road nowadays. There is just one road! It's one lane, and we shouldn't move over! Let's walk, drive, barrel right over these road hogs. Let's take this country back from these parasitic mutated creatures called Republicans.
If we don't do something now, we will certainly see a communist country brought to you courtesy of the cockroaches after they finish George Bush's dirty work by selling the country off to China. Hell, they own our debt, they just about own our land.
These Republican leeches idolize Ronald Reagan and preach from the no tax bible, and yet Reagan raised taxes 11 times when he was in office. Half of these parasites don't possess critical thinking skills, let alone the ability to actually do any research. They follow the monkey see monkey do mentality, if they heard it from another primate, they repeat it themselves regardless of the consequences to themselves, their family or their country.
They're so willing to be right, that they sink this country and unfortunately the left will actually apologize! Let's put a stop to this mayhem, the next time you hear a loudmouth lying Republican open his lying trap, set him straight and send him packing.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as they keep stomping on the right side of the scales, I'm going to stomp on the left, hell, I'll go one further, I'll push them of the scales! Politically of course! It's nothing different than what they've been doing to us and this country.
Oh, and for you Republicans that are pitching a fit right now, calling me a hater, and an inciter of violence, and so on and so forth. Please, don't take this out of context. It's all just related to politics and not meant to be offensive.
Thanks Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and the rest of you right wing demagogues, I took a page out of your book.

- Kelly Slutz '14
- Hometown: Smithville, Ohio
- Major: Spanish and Sociology
When I was in high school, I knew I wanted to attend a college that had strong academics, recreational opportunities and lots of different ways to get involved. I also wanted to attend a university that was committed to the environment and the community, and I felt like all of these things were important at Mount Union.
Ian Valverde '10
During the spring semester of my junior year here at Mount Union, I chose to study abroad at Kansai Gaidai University in Japan. Upon making this decision, I was excited about the sights I would get to see and the experiences I would have thanks to my decision to study abroad. When the time actually came, however, I (like many of my classmates) was worried about everything from making it to the airport on time to getting lost in a foreign country with no way to communicate. Mostly, I was worried about expenses, but after receiving the Freeman-ASIA Award (just one of the many scholarships available for students studying abroad), I was able to experience Japan to its fullest.
Overall, I would have to say that my time in Japan was an amazing experience. There is certainly something to be said about living in a country where one could be walking past a side street's parking lot one minute, only to come upon a hundreds of years-old shrine the next. The country literally pulsates with history and culture, both old and new. Of course, not only did living there give me the ability to experience another country's culture first-hand, but it also gave me the opportunity to meet and interact with hundreds of people from all over the world, helping to put some of my world views into perspective. Given the chance, I would be more than willing to go back, as living in Japan was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had. Looking back, I'm incredibly happy I made the decision to study abroad.

Looking out across the oasis of energy that is Las Vegas, it's hard to imagine that it started out as a small railroad town in the barren desert. Over the years, the city has reinvented itself several times. Days of mobster-run hotels built around gambling, lounge acts, and showgirls have been replaced by themed mega-resorts owned by corporations.
Today's Las Vegas continues to evolve. Celebrity chefs have opened signature restaurants, and luxury shopping among designer names has become a huge draw. Million-dollar Broadway productions stand next to stages where top comedians and entertainers perform, and Hollywood's elite frequent the city's never-ending nightlife. While gambling continues to be a favorite pastime, there are now many more reasons why people come here. Las Vegas offers it all with a unique style unlike any other destination.
Great live entertainment is everywhere in Vegas; some of the top shows include Donny and Marie at Flamingo Hotel and Casino, Jubilee! at Bally's Hotel and Casino, Le Reve at Wynn Las Vegas, or even a Haunted Vegas Tour and Show. If you're in the mood to skip the glitz and glamour, explore the surrounding desert on a Black Canyon River Rafting Tour, a Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride or fit in a round of golf on a Vegas course. Thrill-seekers won't want to miss a chance to skydive while in town - or to hit the road and experience the natural wonders of the Grand Canyon or Death Valley.

i got nokia suite 3.2.100 (thats what it says in the tab anyway) im guessing this is wrong for the lumia as i used it for my N8, but it doesnt work with the lumia.
so where would i find the nokia care suite to use with the lumia please?
MODERATOR'S NOTE: Nokia care suite;is a care point only tool and not to be used by the end user.
2012-01-18 11:59
We have noticed that an illegal link to Nokia Care suite software was posted on this thread and discussed. We do not advise our users to download illegal software from untrusted websites as this may cause damage to the device and void warranty. We hope users will adhere to this to prevent further issues with Nokia devices.
If there is an issue with Nokia device hardware, it should always be taken to Nokia Care point. You are very welcome to share your knowledge on the forum, but please have a moment to read through the forum Guidelines.

haZey, in response to your reply, where do i stand then?
its my understanding there is not a nokia care centre on the isle of wight any more, so am i expected to pay a small fortune to get a ferry to the mainland and drive to one just because nokia didnt sort a battery problem out, or cant get the update to me now?
edit, i just checked your web site, and theres 2 O2 stores that are, but im sure they wont want to know as im on orange, and the other being phones4u, yet when i called them 3 months ago about a problem with my N8 they directed me to another shop who used to be a care centre
2012-01-18 19:13
The battery update is now available via Zune!
My Lumia just got the notification that there is an update.
2012-01-18 19:18
ive had my phone connected to zune today and have had nothing, ive got the phone set up to check for updates and ive just checked it right now and theres no updates???
2012-01-18 19:21
2012-01-18 19:23
my data connection was switched off lol, just put it back on, so will see what happens.
ive used zune a handful of times so far, never checked for a update on there, how do i go about looking for the update on zune please?
2012-01-18 19:28
2012-01-18 19:57
okie doke fella, will try that right now
2012-01-18 20:03 - edited 2012-01-18 20:03
just connected it, no update showing, all it says is
you phone is upto date
current phone software version 7.10 (7740)
then it goes on about a restore point???
2012-01-18 20:06
Very strange. As you can see from other forum threads, others have also received the battery update. Might be worth giving your phone a quick reboot and see if it that gives you anything.
If not, patience I guess. I assumed, since it's a Nokia Firmware update that the roll-out would be for everyone, rather than some get it now and some later. But I could be wrong.
2012-01-18 20:13
reboot hasnt done anything, i'll play it by ear see what happens over next couple of days
2012-01-18 20:42 - edited 2012-01-18 20:50
Playing it by ear might be the smarter move right now. This update has broke the brightness settings by the looks of it.
You might want to hold off!
2012-01-18 20:48
ah, thats not much good then is it lol

Wilderness Under Siege
A wave of harmful bills in Congress is putting half a billion acres of wilderness at risk. You can help stop this great outdoors giveaway.
It has been nearly 50 years since Congress passed the landmark 1964 Wilderness Act. Now, a series of threatening bills is putting this act — and our beloved wildlands — at risk.
This "great outdoors giveaway" threatens more than a half billion acres of wildlands. It also threatens the clean air, clean water and local economies they support.
Our wildlands are a great source of economic activity, especially in rural communities. Outdoor recreation, natural resource conservation and historic preservation activities contribute more than $1 trillion annually to our economy. These activities support 9.4 million jobs and generate more than $100 billion in federal, state and local taxes. The Wilderness Under Siege bills would hurt communities that need this economic support the most.
A new bipartisan survey sponsored by Colorado College found that people of all backgrounds want to keep wildlands out of harm's way. Regardless of their political views, survey respondents did not want to see wildlands put in the hands of developers.

In Denver & Boulder, Colorado
Denver, CO – July 17, 2012 – Millions of people looking for love use dating and social networking sites to meet people. The Association of Psychological Science reports online dating is now the second most common way for couples to meet – surpassing church, gym and bars.
While many wish to start a successful relationship, it's important to remember that the anonymity of the Internet is to the advantage of con artists looking to meet potential victims. "Online, it's easy to pretend to be someone you are not," said Dale Mingilton, president and CEO of the BBB Serving Denver/Boulder. "Scammers create fake profiles to build online relationships, and eventually convince people to send money in the name of love."
Such scams are a sad, yet common occurrence and con artists have been known to pose as members of the military. Recently, a mother-daughter team from Brighton, Colorado was indicted by the Colorado Attorney General for running such a scam. According to the indictment, the team lured unsuspecting women to internet dating sites by posing as members of the U.S. military serving in Afghanistan. After a phony relationship was established, victims were asked to send money and were led to believe that the soldiers would use the money to retrieve property, travel to the U.S., and pay other expenses.
When using the Internet to find love, the BBB warns consumers to beware of the following red flags:
· They are unable to physically meet you. Scam artists are unwilling to meet their victims in person, and will only communicate online or by phone. They often claim that they are unable to meet due to career or life circumstances that take them overseas.
· They share similar interests. Typically, the scammers are charming and sensitive towards their victims, and pretend to share the same values in order to gain their trust. They are also quick to develop a relationship and talk of love. Many scam artists send flowers and gifts that were purchased using stolen credit cards.
· There is a sudden emergency. Once the relationship has been developed, scam artists will claim that there has been an emergency and they need your assistance. The emergency often involves a family member's health, and they ask you to wire money to them because they are unable to access their account.
Don't give anyone you are interacting with on a dating site sensitive information that could be used to steal your identity or gain access to financial accounts. The BBB also recommends doing research beforehand to make sure the dating service you are using is legitimate and has a favorable business review with the BBB.

There are quite a few Android GPS trackers on the market that can serve the needs of anyone who wants to track someone's phone whether you want them to know you are doing so or not. While all Android GPS trackers will allow you to see the target's current location most offer advance features that are geared toward meeting the needs of concerned parents, diligent employers, suspicious partners and covert spies. Among the most feature rich solutions is StealthGenie; this article takes a look at its features and what it is like to use the service overall.
StealthGenie is an advanced and feature rich Android cell phone tracking software that can be used for a wide range of monitoring activities whether that entails keeping tabs on your spouse, friend, children or employees. Like many of the best Android GPS Trackers you will be able to do real-time Geo Location Tracking, get SIM change notifications, view contacts, emails, videos and emails that are stored on the target phone. Some of StealthGenie's advanced features include:
Trigger Number Alert – With this feature you can set StealthGenie to send you a SMS or email whenever the monitored phone makes a call to a predetermined cell phone number. However, even without setting a trigger you will be able to see a log of all the calls that have been made and received. There is also an option to record all conversations, just in case.
Live Call Intercept – As we mentioned before, you can set up a trigger to alert you when a call is made or received by the monitored phone. Once Stealth Genie is installed on your target's phone all you need to do to listen to a phone call that is in session is call the targets phone number from your own number, StealthGenie will recognize your phone number and add you to the conversation as a conference call. The monitored phone will never know that a third person has been added to the conversation.
Record surroundings – Sometimes what is said in regular conversation can be just as interesting as what is said on a phone conversation. StealthGenie can make you 'a fly on the wall,' in that you can remotely turn on the target phone's microphone and listen to sounds and conversations that are within range of the microphone.
Backup and Wipe Data – This feature is best suited for owners who want to store a backup of all information and data on the target phone, but you can use it to keep a record of everything on the phone you are tracking just in case the user wipes data from it; it also works well as a security app on your personal phone, you know, just in case the device is stolen or misplaced.
Call History – The call history feature tells you the name, phone number, date/time and duration of each call. If lots of calls are made from the phone you can also analyze the data by exporting it to Excel, where you can use its powerful data analysis features to make sense of the call records.
SMS Redirect – This feature allows you to send a message to anyone on the contact list of the target phone. That recipient will receive the message as if it came from the phone that is being monitored.
Currently StealthGenie supports devices on all Android phones running OS versions 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0/3.1 and Blackberry phones running OS versions 4.6/4.6.1, 4.7, 5.0, 6.0. Unfortunately, this means that you can't continue to use StealthGenie to track someone if they start using a Nokia or iPhone smartphone. If you are concerned that the person you want to track may change their phone, you can consider using Mobistealth since it supports all the major smartphone platforms. In any case, you can access all of StealthGenie's features from any other device that has a web browser.
While Android trackers such as StealthGenie are ideal for spying on someone without them knowing it, they can be pretty useful at other times as well. Imagine a situation where you lose your phone but had installed StealthGenie. To recover the phone, and secure any sensitive data you may have on it, simply access your StealthGenie member's areas from any browser to see where the phone is located; backup your data and remotely wipe anything you want to keep private.
StealthGenie is a pretty cost effective solution considering all the features the service offers. Packages start as low as $8/month for the basic package up to $16/month for the Platinum package. You can even save more by purchasing a package for a period of 3, 6 and 12-month intervals.

Orientation Briefing on Vienna's Multilateral Working Environment
Destinatarios específicos:
Duración del evento:
Event focal point email:
Otros detalles del evento:
Deadline for application: 9 Noviembre 2012
Effective and efficient participation in multilateral conferences conducted at the United Nations Office at Vienna requires a sound knowledge of the structure and functioning of the UN System and its various components. Over the years, the mandate, governance and decision-making of the Vienna-based UN agencies, funds and specialised agencies have evolved considerably and diplomats are increasingly called upon to cover the work of various organisations with diverse decision-making mechanisms. This briefing will provide a concise overview of the United Nations System at Vienna, it will explain the structure, mandate and governance of the main organisations and it will provide the diplomats with the agenda of the main professional events for 2012/13.
Objetivos de Aprendizaje
- Understand the difference between the United Nations Organisation and system;
- Define the structure, mandate and functions of the major international organisations in Vienna;
- Recognise and analyse linkages between the international organisations in Vienna;
- Understand the decision-making process and the governance system of these organisations;
Contenido y Estructura
Representatives of international organisations and agencies such as UNODC, UNIDO, IAEA, CTBTO, OOSA, and OPEC will give presentations and answer questions about their organisation's structure, activities and current projects. Other organisations may still be added or removed from this list.
General presentations from representatives of international organisations will be followed by more informal case studies and discussions, covering various aspects that are relevant for the professional tasks of diplomats working for Permanent Missions in Vienna. In addition to these presentations, time has been allocated for the dissemination of practical information, which will be useful to diplomats in their daily life.
This briefing primarily targets members of Permanent Missions accredited to the United Nations Office in Vienna who wish to familiarise themselves in a concise and intensive manner with the work of these organisations. A limited number of seats will be offered to international civil servants recently posted in Vienna.

Passengers in the back seat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class than the Infiniti Q60, due to its greater head- and legroom.
The Infiniti Q60 will be a favorite with taller drivers due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Infiniti Q60 as you will with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Based on MSRP, the Infiniti Q60 is clearly a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Infiniti Q60 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class have similar Destination Charges.
Since the Infiniti Q60 is much wider than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
When looking at overall length, the Infiniti Q60 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
With similar torque, the Infiniti Q60 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class do an equal job of transmitting their engine's power to their wheels.
The Infiniti Q60 has a larger turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
When it comes to horsepower, the Infiniti Q60 is somewhat more powerful than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Infiniti Q60 and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
The Infiniti Q60 has less cargo capacity than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
The basic warranty for the Infiniti Q60 offers a little more coverage than the basic warranty of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class in terms of months/miles.

blueberry cream tart √
Serves 8 to 10.
Note: From "The Minnesota Homegrown Cookbook" by Tim King and Alice Tanghe (Voyageur Press, $29.95).
• 3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 c. powdered sugar, divided
• 2 c. flour

• 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature

Reduce speed to low, add 1/2 cup powdered sugar, flour and salt, and mix until just crumbly. Press dough into bottom and sides an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Bake until slightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a bowl of an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium, add remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and sour cream and beat until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Pour into cooled tart shell, smooth top with a rubber spatula and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring 1 cup water and granulated sugar to a simmer and cook for 1 minute. Place blueberries in a strainer and place strainer over a large bowl. Pour sugar water over berries. Then place strainer over sink and pour sugar water over berries a second time. Drain berries completely, then evenly distribute over top of refrigerated tart. Refrigerate.

Note: "Gather a bouquet of asparagus and Belgian endive, garnish it with an honest-to-goodness flower, and this green salad becomes a springtime showstopper — edible proof that we 'eat' with our eyes," writes Lee Svitak Dean in "Come One, Come All: Easy Entertaining With Seasonal Menus" (Minnesota Historical Society Press, $29.95).
For pesto:
• 1 c. firmly packed fresh cilantro leaves, stems removed
• 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. pine nuts
• 2 garlic cloves
For vinaigrette:
• 1/3 c. olive oil
• 1/2 c. white wine vinegar
• Salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
For salad:
• 36 thin stalks (about 2 to 2 1/2 lbs.) asparagus
• 18 Belgian endive leaves
• 3 c. mixed baby greens
• 6 edible flowers, for garnish
• Pine nuts, for garnish
• Lemon zest, for garnish
To prepare pesto: Using a blender or food processor, purée cilantro, Parmesan, olive oil, pine nuts and garlic into a smooth paste. The finer the paste, the more successful the shaping of the quenelles will be.
To prepare vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil and vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
To prepare salad: Using a steamer, steam asparagus until crisp-tender, about 2 to 4 minutes, then immediately plunge into cold water; drain (if preparing in advance, refrigerate cooked asparagus until about an hour before serving, then set it out to reach room temperature).
On each serving plate, fan out 3 Belgian endive leaves and place 2 asparagus stalks in each of the leaves. Add about 1/2 cup baby greens at base of endive on each plate and garnish with an edible flower.
Prepare a quenelle by using two spoons to shape about 1 to 1½ tablespoons pesto into an oval shape. Place the quenelle next to the endive on plate.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of vinaigrette across each plate of asparagus and greens. Top each salad with a sprinkle of pine nuts and some lemon zest and serve immediately.

Makes 12 (3-inch) or 24 (2-inch) corncakes.
Note: Use these fragrant cakes as a base for strawberry shortcake, or garnish with rhubarb curd. Author Nancy Silverton suggests using extra-large eggs. From "Pastries from the La Brea Bakery" (Villard Books, $35).
• 3 3/4 c. unbleached pastry flour or unbleached all-purpose flour, plus extra for shaping dough
• 1 3/4 c. yellow cornmeal
• 1 tbsp. plus 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 3/4 c. light brown sugar, lightly packed
• 1 1/2 c. (3 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-in. cubes and frozen
• 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
• 2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. mild-flavored honey, such as clover
• 1/2 c. plus 2 tsp. heavy cream, plus extra for brushing tops of scones
• 24 small tufts of fresh rosemary for garnish, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade (or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment), combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, chopped rosemary and brown sugar, and process (or mix) on low until incorporated. Add butter and pulse on and off a few times (or mix on low), until mixture is pale yellow and the consistency of fine meal.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in eggs, honey and cream and whisk together the liquids. Using one hand, draw in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Wash and dry your hands and dust them with flour. On a lightly floured work surface, turn out dough and knead a few times to gather it together into a ball. Roll or pat dough into a circle about 3/4 inch thick. Using a 2-inch or 3-inch round cutter, cut out scones, cutting as closely as possible and keeping trimmings intact.
Gather scraps, pat and press the pieces back together and cut out remaining dough. Place scones 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with cream and poke 2 small tufts of rosemary into the center of each (optional).
Bake until slightly browned and firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes before transferring scones to a wire rack to cool.

Guild and Company
Online Reservations
I've lived in Vermont for about 10 years now and this is the best meal I've had in a restaurant in that time. Everything was exceptional. I certainly will be back!
This is the third time I have dined at the Guild - each time the food is exceptional - the service excellent and the atmosphere perfect.
food and service were great but we'll save for a special occasion - rather expensive for us
soooo delicious CANNOT wait to go back meat was well cooked and delicious!!
Excellent dining experience. Wait for our dinners was very, very long, but waitstaff recognized their own mistake and provided complimentary desserts. Main entree portion was smaller than expected, especially when considering the menu quoted weight. However, quality was very good and done to desired temperature. Would certainly consider a return visit when in town again.
My bf & I couldn't have been more pleased w/ our experience! Upon entering, we were greeted warmly and (having arrived early) offered a seat at the bar. The bartender, Alex M., was absolutely fantastic & listened to what we were craving. He concocted drinks that were creative (but not in the "so-creative-all-you-taste-is-booze" kind of way) & exactly what we wanted. My spicy margarita was, shall we say, bomb.com. After drinks, we had the rib-eye for two. It was INSANELY good- worth every penny! Alex again came to our table & helped us select a wine that matched both our price-point & our tastes. While some fine-dining restaurants can feel stuffy and too prim-&-proper, we both felt so at-ease & comfortable the whole time at Guild. Cheers!
The service was great! We went for our anniversary and they were very attentive and made us feel special. The food was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly. I recommend the Guild!
The filet (steaks are $48-$80 EACH) was undoubtedly the best I've ever had. BUT to me it was so expensive I almost didn't have it -- but got another person to share with me. I am from Washington, DC and had eating at Hen of Wood the night before -- and the prices of the steaks were shocking!!. Many in the party decided not to have the steaks for that very reason. There are plenty of other entre's besides steaks, including quinoa patty's, salmon, pork -- and everyone loved their entre's. The mussels for appetizers were really perfect, chubby, tender and tasty. I will say the squash side could have been given some attention.
We were in town visiting our Son in his freshman year at Champlain College. Being a steak lover, we wanted to treat him to a nice dinner. This place was awesome- the service was top notch, and the food was excellent. I had the Filet Mignon, Medium- with Blue Cheese butter and a side of Butternut Squash Mash with Maple Syrup. I wanted to lick the butternut squash bowl clean :-) The pairing of the steak, blue cheese, and squash was wonderful. Both my wife and son also had the filet, with different sauces, and commented that they thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The team of folks who waited on us were very attentive, friendly, and thorough. We will be back, for sure!
The restaurant was very noisy. It was hard hearing what our waitress had to say. The steak was very salty. The menu had a lot less choices than when it first opened.
Thursday evening and the place was full. The restaurant has just been opened a year. Attractive decor and attentive staff. Wine list is a little thin, but quality and reasonably priced. Enjoyed speciality cocktails featuring rye from a local distillery. Started with mussels with local made sausage in white wine and a shaved fennel, watermelon radish and apple salad. Both of us had steak frites. The steak was perfect. Shared a beautiful slice of zucchini cake. Everything was well prepared and nicely presented. This is not the place for a quiet dinner, but we enjoyed conversing and noise was not a problem. There were many locally sourced items on the menu. This was a very successful find!
A great meal, the ribeye for two was done to perfection. A bit on the pricey side but you are paying a premium for "locally" sourced fair. Excellent bourbon selection and decent service. The only drawback is the dining room has a large industrial feel but I think they did the best that they could renovating and old Ground Round.
My son is a chef and he raved about the quality and cut of the rib eyes.
It was our first visit to Guild. The service was exceptional and the food was amazing. However, when charging 50.00 for a steak, I would expect much more than a plate w/ a single solitary steak served on it and the side served a few minutes later. If anything will be the death of this restaurant, it will be the lackluster plating of the meal. Colorless and blah-it needs a step up. Not indicative of a high quality establishment.
We wanted a nice place to take out our son and his roommate that was away from the crowds of Church St. Guild & CO. had a lovely atmosphere and great food that felt like a real treat to the students subsisting on cafeteria fare. Even for those of us who eat home cooked meals regularly we had a great meal. The salads and vegetarian options were outstanding. Dessert plates were licked clean. Service was attentive, but the pace of the meal was slow.
The mashed potatoes are ecstasy. The cocktail list is classy. The meats simply melt in your mouth.
Our waitress, Stacey, was fantastic. Wonderful personality. At this price level there should be linen tablecloths.
Guild is billed as a local farm fresh to table restaurant. All meat and cheeses and some vegetables. The three of us each ordered different entrees and each one was outstanding. The meats where cooked perfectly, and were very tender. Portions were also just right. The only issue we had was that it was very expensive, the prices were equivalent to fine dining in Manhattan. Since they have arrangements with local farms you would think that would drive the cost down. All in all, the experience was good, open kitchen, very nice bar with creative cocktails for the whiskey or gin drinker. Good wine selection.
Our family, local Burlington residents, recommended this restaurant and we all went. The service was incredible, even my nine year old son commented on how good our waitresses recommendations were. We ordered the steak for two which was really delicious, quality as good as the fancy chains but without the overbearing ambience. The sides were different takes on traditional steak house fare and they really worked. Don't let the location fool you, this restaurant is excellent.
We truly enjoyed our experiece at The Guild, we did think the price was very high on the steak dishes.....
The Vermont cheese board was extraordinary - the Pyramid cheese in particular was a revelation. I've never had a tastier steak - and every bite was absolutely perfectly cooked. The service was a bit slow, and with a (large) table for six, we had a bit of trouble talking over the chatter. But well worth the trip - I hope to go back soon!
Food is excellent - superb steaks, very good salmon - service is great, prices are high. But we feel like we got good value from our experience. Terrific cocktails as well. Will definitely make regular visits.
Celebrated my Norwich Rook's 19th Bday. Started with crab dip -- iserved hot, w/perfectly toasted crostini; bubbly, cheesy and filled with delicious crab. Homemade bread was delicious. The salads were fresh, different (roasted butternut, beets and pumpkin seeds with blue cheese vinegarette!) and yummy. This was only the beginning! A cart was wheeled over with our 30 oz ribeye for 2 was, in a word, it was FANTABULOUS. Cooked to perfection, served with sauces and sides that only added to the already succulent flavor of the perfectly cooked meat. I could not afford to eat here on a weekly basis, but it certainly is a go to place for a special occasion! Thanks for making my Rook's Meat Fest and Birthday Celebration a smashing success!
I thought it was good service all around. Can't complain.
Took a large, eclectic party to Guild and we were seated directly in front of the chef's prep station. My guests loved being able to watch the chef hand prepare their salads, the grill master hand assess each delicious steak he was preparing. The food, especially the dry aged beef, was some of the best we've ever tasted - and we have traveled the world. Highly recommend the roasted beet starter on a bed of chevre! The wait staff did an admirable job. All in all a bit more expensive,, but well worth it for a romantic dinner, gathering of foodies, or chance to impress someone!
Taken by complete surprise! Very nice atmosphere, good service and the food matched it as well. Loved the hardwood grille for the proteins. really nice wine and beer selection as well as the hard stuff. Monday is 50% bottles of wine (wish I was not alone because I saw some tasty selections). Will be back.
I will always return and recommend to others!!! The food is amazing, everything has made me happy. The staff is so friendly, I just can't say enough about how much I love this restaurant. Love the Guild!!!
My medium steak was cooked to perfection. Great sear on the outside, just right in the middle. The steak fries were also phenomenal, and we loved the Mocha Mousse cake - decadent, but also light and fluffy.
I was skeptical at first because I find Farmhouse's boring selection and El Cortillo's food both so-so at best. Guild, however, was fantastic. The sides weren't great but the steak was one of the best that I've had (as a fairly serious foodie), and the seafood was also excellent. Decent wine and cocktail choices, as well, and very fast, friendly, and thoughtful service. Definitely a special occasion meal due to the high prices, but I will be back for sure.
this was our first time dining at the Guild and we were warmly received and all waitstaff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal..everything was delicious and well prepared. The atmosphere was warm and inviting . We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary.
Also great service. One downside: kind of noisy when crowded.
Food was great as always, a little loud in the dining room but it's an excellent place to celebrate a birthday or special occassion
From the amuse bouche to the raw oysters, Campari-seared pork bellies to the potato-leek gratin, Caesar salad to the bone-in ribeye, we enjoyed every bite.
Along with booking online, I requested help with our first date. We were seated in a tight niche between other couples. Barely touching our seats, the hostess apologized as to cover and relocated us to a booth. That gave us room to move. It made it much more comfortable...thank you, I will recommend and revisit Guild and Co.
Excellent steak with delightful sauces. Upscale atmosphere with two fireplaces. Will return to try other menu items even though it is a bit pricey.
Taste-wise, this place gets 5 stars. The filet was one of the best I've ever had. It was so soft, flavorful and juicy, I nearly had a foodgasm right there at the table. Ambiance-wise... not so impressed. The restaurant is a stand-alone place several minutes outside of downtown Burlington. So, for the drive, I was hoping for something intimate, cozy or otherwise special. Unfortunately, it looked more like an upscale chain restaurant. It was understated, uninteresting and a little loud. If you want amazing steak - go hear. You won't regret it (even at $48 a plate). But if you want a place with real atmosphere, you will be disappointed.
We have been fortunate to eat at some of the greatest restaurants in the United States, South America and Europe. It has included Ruth's Chris Steak House, Morton's, numerous places in Texas, Brazil, and some of the finest cuisine in England, Switzerland, France , Belgium and Amsterdam. This was our third visit to The Guild and the entire party of five felt it was one of the best meals that have ever enjoyed. The chicken was delectable but the real masterpiece is the beef. Their rib-eye was so tender, we rarely had to use our knife. The service was impeccable and prompt. Overall, a five star experience in Vermont!
I enjoyed our recent visit to Guild. Great service, kind people, food is well prepared, the filet mignons were excellent! I would go back again.
We had a wonderful time. We loved the creative cocktails, the food was great from the salad to the desserts! We will definitely be back!
We really enjoyed our time at the Guild. The food, drinks, service was to die for. The atmosphere got pretty noisy, but nothing worth complaining about. Very small menu, very select options, most options were the $48 steaks. That is just too high for most people. Both my dad and boyfriend got the entrée of the steak and seafood. The steak was very small - 3 small slices. My dad's shrimp were not de-veined. For the amount of money paid, some things should be a little better. Our server was very prompt, until the end when it got really busy, no one wants to wait for the bill. Great time, recommending small changes. Absolutely a "special occasion" place, unless you're willing to spend a lot.
good place to eat. does not feel like Burlington, Vermont. Its feel like a big city steak restaurant. This is a good thing.
We hit The Guild for date night with another couple. Great beer list, good service and nice meal. Just what we expected from the Farm House Group.
This was our second visit to Guild and Company and we were even more impressed with the food and service. The meal was a bit pricey but you get the quality that you pay for.
The food was amazing, the dining area was nicely laid out - feeling both cozy (near a fire!) and spacious, and the service was fantastic. They staff was very knowledgeable and friendly and made excellent recommendations. We'll definitely be going back for special occasions!
We go to Guild often. It is consistent, comfortable and friendly. Over the course of our visits everything has improved as well. I'll admit, I'm a sucker for people who remember me. If the third visit the host remembers that I like sparkling water and the table by the fireplace I'm impressed. Conversely, when I go to a place once a week and they look at me like a stranger, I'm irritated. Guild has become our regular spot because there are several dishes we like, wonderful cocktails, a nice wine list with excellent by-the-glass choices and a great staff.
the food was amazing and portion sizes were perfect! not too much food and not too little for the price. delicious steaks!
Expensive, but worth every penny. The bone-in ribeye was the best steak I've had in years, perfectly charred outside and medium-rare inside. Loved the blue cheese butter. Caesar salad was good, not memorable. Perfect for a celebratory evening.
every item, from the bread & butter through the dessert was excellent. quality ingredients beautifully prepared. took way to long after the apps to receive the main courses. $48 for a small filet mignon is outrageous even though it was an excellent piece of meat. the steaks are the only menu items which are priced excessively.
Our meal was excellent! This was our first time at The Guild, and we enjoyed it and plan to return.
the food was great and I would recommend it but I made a reservation online for 6:30, but when I arrived the hostess told me it was for 7:15.. I had an email confirmation that that was not true..then the hostess made a snarky face and rolled her eyes and with a huff sat us at a table...so bottom line eat there but beware of cranky hostess!

The average age of a gamer is starting to edge higher. Gamers are also less healthy and more depressed than those who don't partake in our particular brand of entertainment. That's what a CDC survey suggests, at least.
A total of 500 adults aged 19 to 90 in the Seattle-Tacoma are of Washington state were surveyed by the government agency. The are was chosen since it reportedly has the highest internet usage level in the US and is one of the larger media markets.
Over 45 of the respondents reported that they played video games, with their average age at 35. Female gamers were found to be more depressed and less healthy compared to female non-gamers, while male gamers had a higher body mass index and a greater reliance on the internet than non-gamers.
What do you guys think? Sound off in the comments section.

And editing does calling all this the war on women the war on obesity the war on salt all these -- diminished the real war -- -- where people are actually losing their lives and that's where we fines -- although -- He's in Kandahar Afghanistan with an update on what's happening there -- -- the break to see you.
High -- nice to see you -- and Steve and Peter you know we've had a rough patch here in Afghanistan.
Once the president.
Announced that we were going to be pull out by 2014.
It seemed that there was have rushed to the exits and we've also had.
You know some awful incidents that Koran burning.
And also sergeant -- the alleged mass murder of civilians it's really been some bad news here but it's not all bad news.
And one of the reasons I'm here aside -- my desire to show support for the 90000 troops we still have been Afghanistan.
Is to show that they are not rushing to the -- that there is a plan that they are working very hard.
With the Afghan army with the national police force and it's something else happening this something new happening.
Our special operators the special ops warriors are a leak.
Have now started a new program where they're working with tribal elders those tribal elders are.
Manning up with the local police force.
Right from the village to fight.
The Taliban had to fight the enemies of the state and I have but a couple of guests here.
This is colonel -- Navarro he's the commander of this special operators.
Here in the southern region.
This is his command sergeant major Brian -- -- What colonel is different.
Now that we -- working with the village elders.
Have put up this new police force but we're supporting an Afghan -- program.
Where we augment the Afghan national security forces -- security from within the villages.
And are they trustworthy do you think that they'll do the job will they be on the right side you know this is -- first of all this is based we set up based on trust but.
Again that things you take -- them for granted.
We keep our vigilance we have our own measures put in place to double checked the people that that volunteer to be Afghan local police.
More importantly the Afghans themselves through their own system the national director of the security.
And I think most importantly that as -- mentioned the local elders the decision makers for the villages stepping up and putting their name there honor.
Under Afghan local police.
So we're not looking over your shoulder red.
At your own guys you're not worried -- they'll turn on you.
But absolutely absolutely not worried about our -- guys.
But again we have to stay vigilant.
There were working relationships that we got with them absolutely help.
Not only it would ourselves but provide that security there and -- and time that security through the government.
All right we've got out -- big aircraft coming in.
I have always been that -- but these are our best these are -- -- warriors and they are Manning up this this village police force.
To maintain order.
Trying to bring -- quality of life.
To the people of Afghanistan that we can leave this country without honor in that back you guys in New York.
-- although Rivera live in Kandahar I think this.
Such a great reminding me thanks --
