Viva La Vie
Filmmakers Keith Ladzinski and Andy Mann of 3 Strings Productions, both with successful individual careers as photographers, showcase their passion for storytelling with Viva La Vie. Drawn by a desire to pay tribute to the roots of modern sport climbing in one of the world's most majestic gorges, the film follows two Arc'athletes – American climber Jonathan Siegrist and Swiss superstar Nina Caprez – as they venture up some of the hardest routes the Verdon Gorge [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdon_Gorge] has to offer.
"My favorite moment of filming was probably what you'll see as the final segments of the film," explains Mann. "We topped out on one of the hardest and biggest routes in the canyon in perfect end-of-day light; finding our story as filmmakers, and the deeper meaning of climbing – all in the same moment."
This project began as a film about two of the climbing world's most colourful characters, "Jonathan and Nina are two of the coolest, most psyched climbers out there," said Ladzinski. But in the end, the film became a vehicle of discovery for the filmmakers; one that hopefully inspires others to pursue their own adventures. "More than anything, we hope the film is fun to watch!"
Viva La Vie was recently chosen for the 2013 Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, and its full, 24-minute version is currently available through Vimeo On Demand.

Nature's Garden Packet
Students visiting the Idaho Botanical Garden will have several kinds of outdoor experiences. When they first arrive they will be greeted by a trained volunteer docent. The docent will guide students along Nature's Garden Trail, helping them discover how they fit into the ecology of the Boise Front. Topics studied in the field will be ecology, plants, geology, and animals.
It is important that the students be introduced to some of the enclosed material before visiting the Idaho Botanical Garden. We feel that it will be easy for you to adapt the activities to your grade level. Please read Nature's Garden, a story written about the Boise Front, to your students to help them identify, understand, and make connections with the meaning of ecology.
Review the key concepts about ecology, plants, geology, and animals. Study the key terms. Notice how they are used in the Nature's Garden story. Please also do the "Name Tag Activity: A Lesson In Predicting". Your docent will want to know your names! The other activities enclosed are suggested for use after your experience in Nature's Garden to help students come to conclusions and to reinforce what they have learned.
We thank the many dedicated educators who have volunteered their
time and expertise to produce this multidisciplinary project!
Ecology is the study of the interrelationships between living things and the environment. The Boise Front provides us with a wonderful opportunity to study ecology in a familiar setting. We will study plants, geology, climate, animals, and hew their interrelationships affect and are
affected by man.
Plants make life on earth possible. Their ability to convert the radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy is the only significant way in which the energy from the sun is made available for life on this planet. Plants also make the oxygen we breathe, cleanse the air of dust and
pollutants, hold surface soil in place, and provide us with food, fuel, medicines, clothing, and shelter. Plants create an aesthetic environment as they please us with their colors, shapes, and fragrances.
Nature's Garden, a small section of the Boise Front, provides us with the opportunity to study native and introduced plants, and compare them to cultivated plants in the irrigated part of the Idaho Botanical Garden. We will see how plants prevent erosion and provide food and shelter to animals. We will also see how some introduced plants have altered the ecology by creating fuels for the fires that threaten the front every summer.

Nature's Garden has a very interesting geological history. This area has experienced lava flows, earthquakes, and being covered by a large lake. It also has the two valuable geological resources of building stone and geothermal waters.
Between about 10 and 14 million years ago, volcanic activity produced thick layers of rhyolite in this area. We cannot see this rhyolite rock in Nature's Garden because it is buried by hundreds of feet of other rock and sediment. However, Castle Rock, which is visible on the skyline to the northwest, is composed of this kind of rock.
Sometime around nine to ten million years ago, the type of volcanic activity changed and produced a basalt lava flow. This basalt flowed out on top of the older rhyolite.
Later, between six million and two million years ago, this area was flooded by a large lake which covered much of the Snake River Plain from Oregon to the Twin Falls area. The area that we now know as Nature's Garden was below the water near the northern shore of that lake. Streams running off the mountains carried mud, sand, and gravel that were deposited as sediment in the lake. These sediments accumulated to several hundred feet in thickness and were modified into sedimentary rocks. Some of these sedimentary rocks such as sandstone are quite hard, others form soft layers of clay or loose beds of gravel. Some animals were
living in the lake at the time the sediments were deposited. Because of this we find a few fossils, mostly snails and clams, in the sandstone and other sedimentary rocks. Sandstone has been quarried from Table Rock and from the ridge just above the Old Penitentiary for use in buildings. Most of the buildings and the wall at the penitentiary are made from this sandstone as are parts of the State Capitol and many other buildings in Boise.
The flat landscape to the south, known as the Snake River Plain, is separated from the mountainous area to the north by a large break in the rocks, known as the Boise Front Fault. Rocks to the south have been lowered along this fault in relation to the rocks to the north which have been raised. Movements along this fault must have produced many earthquakes during the long time that it was active. It appears that this fault has not moved to produce earthquakes for many thousands of years. Nature's Garden is just on the lower side of the Boise Front Fault and the hills rise up on the other side. This is why we can see rhyolite and
sandstone on the ridges above the penitentiary that are the same as rocks buried beneath Nature's Garden.
The Boise Front Fault has broken the rocks to depths of a few thousand feet beneath the earth's surface. Water seeping into the fault system tends to go down through the broken rocks and it becomes warm. Hot water is pumped out of wells located along the fault system. Two of these wells are in the pump house just northwest of the penitentiary. These. wells were drilled in 1890 to depths of about 400 feet. The water has a temperature of about 171F and has been used for a century to heat buildings in Boise. There are several other hot water (or geothermal) wells in the city and in other parts of Idaho.
Animals including people are a large part of the Boise Front ecosystem. We may not always see animals, but we know they are there by the traces they leave. Some animal traces in Nature's Garden are nests, burrows, tracks, and scat. People also leave traces. Like the first wagons on the Oregon Trail, mans'vehicles continue to scar the fragile desert soils. When off-road vehicles such as motorcycles and four wheel drive vehicles leave designated roads or trails they can cause erosion on the steep slopes of the Front. Erosion causes serious soil loss, killing plants and altering habitats. Can you think of other ways people change the Boise Front?
Reading Nature's Gilrden, a story about the Boise Front to your students will help them identify, understand, and make connections with the, ecology key terms.
by Sheila Robertson
Yoshee quietly picked his way through the willows along the banks of the river white men called the Boise. The brush was thick and it was hard to see in the dark. The Indian boy had left his family's encampment before dawn and was on his way to his favorite spring in the foothills across the river. He made his way carefully, because although the eastern sky was turning pink, he was afraid he might miss the one place where he could swim across the river. This spring the flooded river was muddy and full of sediments, and he could not see where the water was shallow. As he looked hard for the crossing spot, Yoshee heard dry leaves
churning and twigs snapping in the willows ahead of him. He froze and crouched down. The shaggy form of a huge coyote streaked toward his hiding place. Yoshee covered his face. A terrible scream filled the darkness as the coyote pounced on a rabbit it was chasing. The coyote did not see the boy as it clamped the rabbit firmly between its jaws and trotted through the cottonwoods.
Yoshee jumped up, his heart pounding with fear and excitement. He followed the coyote to where the deep ruts of the Oregon Trail ran through the sage and bitterbrush. The coyote trotted down the trail and disappeared into the desert. Losing sight of the coyote, Yoshee stopped to take a closer look at the trail. It had been there for as long as he could remember. However, his father told of the time before the trail brought white men into the Boise Valley. The steel rims of the wagon wheels had easily scarred the thin layer of humus in the desert ecosystem and left this trail for others to follow. He turned back towards the river and
wondered how many wagons would follow the ruts this year.
At last Yoshee found the spot he was looking for and waded into the fast, cold river. He swam as hard as he could, but the swift water washed him downstream as he struggled to reach the other side. Finally he caught the willows overhanging the muddy bank and pulled himself out of the water. Shivering he crashed through the brush and trotted across an open area of bunchgrass toward the foothills. Occasionally he paused to look at animal tracks and scat. Once he stopped to look at a new grass he had not seen often before. It was a grass that had come with the white man and was beginning to invade the foothills. They called it cheatgrass. As the sun rose over the towering sandstone table rock to the east, the foothills glowed and swayed with bright yellow patches of arrow leaf balsam. Yoshee had climbed to the top of the table rock before. Sometimes he played there with friends. They looked for hawks' nests and rattlesnakes and enjoyed watching the valley below. They had also found mysteries in the rocks, things they didn't understand.
Yoshee knew what clams were. He and his family often gathered and ate the freshwater clams from the river. But one day he and a friend had found stone clams in the sandstone on the table rock. Later he had also found snails frozen in the stone the same strange way. No one knew how they got there or where they came from. Yoshee and his family did not know about fossils.
There was another mystery in these rocks. Farther to the east there was a place where hot water came out of them. His family and the other Indians used the water; especially in the winter. Yoshee wasn't going to the hot spring today. He was headed for another spring where he could watch redwing blackbirds in the cattails. He came to this spot often to watch deer and quail drink at dawn and dusk. There was a burrow near the spring and he wanted to see if an animal was living in it this year. It was"a special place; a place to find frogs, see baby birds in their nests and to smell wild flowers. To Yoshee it was nature's garden. Yoshee hiked up a draw along a small stream that flowed over big boulders. The boulders had been there so long they were covered with red, green and yellow lichens.
The stream was cold and clear. There was no pollution in it so Yoshee stopped to drink, then hurried on up the draw. Magpies cackled at him from low nests in the trees. As he got near the spring he crept slowly hoping to see animals coming to drink. He knew how the commu,nity of plants and animals around the water changed with the seasons and came
to listen to the birds in the spring, to catch lizards in the summer and watch owls hunt mice in the fall moonlight. As he crept closer a pair of mallards quacked their alarm and flew
toward the river. He explored around the spring and found that a burrowing owl had moved into the burrow. By noon he was hungry so he cut some tender cattails and sat on a rock to eat them. As the sun warmed the rocks he hoped the cold blooded lizards would climb out
and sun themselves. He had not caught one yet this year. Maybe he would today.
Above him a hawk circled low in the air. Suddenly it folded its wings and shot downward. The plunging raptor stretched out its talons and grabbed a ground squirrel. Grasping the squirrel the hawk flapped toward the table rock. Yoshee knew the hawk was a carnivore and lived on ground squirrels and other rodents. The hawk also ate small rabbits.
He knew rabbits were herbivores and ate the plants in the foothills. Yoshee and his family ate mostly plants, but sometimes they ate rabbits, birds and fish, so they were omnivores. Just like Yoshee, the hawk, ground squirrel, rabbits, and coyote were part of the food web in
the foothills. Yoshee thought more about the coyote. Coyotes ate both plants and
animals, but they would also eat rotting meat. That made them scavengers. He had tried to eat rotting meat once, but it smelled too bad. Yoshee did not know decomposers made the meat smell, but he wondered what made the meat decay and eventually recycle into soil.
As he sat there thinking about how each animal was adapted to the desert habitat Yoshee heard a rumble and a large crack in the distance. Huge thunder clouds were building in the west and the sky was turning dark. A storm was coming. As the wind began gusting the birds headed for cover. Rabbits and ground squirrels scampered into their burrows. Yoshee looked for shelter and found a narrow fracture in a sandstone bank. The crack was just big enough for him to squeeze into. It had probably formed long ago when the earth was uplifted along a fault line that ran across the foothills. Centuries of weathering and erosion had
made it big enough for him to crawl into. The rain was cold and blew into the crack. Yoshee shivered. The storm lasted a long time and he began to fall asleep. While he slept Yoshee had
a strange dream. He saw men cutting giant pieces of sandstone out of the table rock. They built a city below. In the center of the city they built a beautiful domed building and called it the capital. Many children came to learn about the foothills. They even came to Yoshee's spring to watch the birds, to look for lizards, and to learn the secrets of nature's garden.
As the storm passed Yoshee awakened. He was puzzled by his dream, but another storm was already covering the setting sun. Quickly Yoshee gathered a few cattails to take home and said good-bye to his spring. He started for the river in the fading gray light wondering if someday other children really would learn the same secrets he knew about nature's

Quoting: John (scouse) HironsAlright Brian, Comparing the Project Taranis with the Fieseler Fi 103 (Vergeltungswaffen 1) is like comparing a wooden club to an assult rifle. You may not have noticed but targeting & control have improved over the last 65 years. � Your reasons for Britain declaring war in 1939 is rather simplistic, it had more to do with continental trade than the invasion of Poland, other wise if it was just territorial why didn�t we declare war on the USSR who also invaded Poland? It also seems to have escaped your attention that the UN authorised the Afghan war in 1991, all the troops fighting out there do so under UN mandate 1386 which is updated yearly. � I find it strange that your two grandsons don�t know what they are fighting for, my Nephew who is currently serving with the RN (FAA) has served out there & not only was he fully briefed on the situation but agrees with the war aims.
Quoting: John Paterson McManusYou can say all you want about the remote machines we see appearing on the military inventories today howeve IF OUR BOYS HAVE TO FIGHT A MAJOR WAR against a power which has more resources than us I would like to think we had access to equipments that would enable us to destroy the nemy in large numbers which would give us a chance.
Quoting: Brian DavisonAlright John. One simple reply to compliment another. The UN may have endorsed Afghan war in 1991, but it condemned the Russian invasion of 1979. Guess Russia paved the way so to speak for forcing the UN into altering its policies. As for your Nephew understanding and agreeing with the reasons he is in Afghanistan perhaps he could enlighten me because as I said earlier am (as I am sure are countless others) at a loss as to WHY. Or was his brief etc as secrete as the reasons

Understand the diverse mix of residents who live in Alexandria. The following contain population related data and resources related to age, sex, race and ethnicity, languages, national origins, and education of the city. Get information about the Amercian Community Survey.
Access information related to the housing stock, housing trends and studies, and related information for families and households.
Understand the state of the local economy through a variety of resources related to jobs, employment statistics, industry, commuting patterns, transportation and economic development activities.
Access a variety of development summary reports, population, housing and employment history and forecasts citywide, by planning area, and by reporting areas.
Access a list of Alexandria's 5-year American Community Survey Maps and 10-year Census Maps. The maps show the demographic structure of the City at the census tract, block group or block level, at a finer resolution than the citywide tables. Data in the complete census is limited to the few questions on race, age, housing occupancy and household structure that were asked of all households in the complete census. For tables and maps showing data on income and poverty, commuting, health insurance, geographic mobility and many other characteristics, refer to the American Community Survey maps and data.
Explore a variety of resources and information related to statistical and demographic related data.
The official Census 2010 population of Alexandria was revised to 139,993 in September, 2013, based on a count correction request submittal by the city. The 2010 census count was based on an attempt to count people residing in all households in the city. The decennial census taken every 10 years is considered the most accurate count available of the city's population. This compares to a 2000 Census population of 128,283, and is an increase of 11,710, or 9.13% over the 10-year period. The official census counts are made based on location of residence on April 1 of the year of each decennial census.
Between these decennial census counts, the Census Bureau and the City attempt to estimate the current population of the city on a regular basis. However, these estimates are based on small sample counts and other information sources such as births, deaths and migration that have a much larger margin of error than the decennial census. Thus these estimates should be considered best estimates based on available information, and may be subject to substantial revision at the time of the next decennial census.
Census Bureau Population and Housing Estimates. The Census Bureau makes estimates of the population of the city for July of each calendar year that are released during the following year. The table below lists the Census Bureau estimates for the city's population for the years for which estimates are currently available. A summary of the Census Bureau estimates of the city's population since 2000 are available in this graph.
Year Census Bureau Population Estimate (July)
2010 140,810
2011 144,100
2012 146,294
City Population and Housing Estimates. City population and housing estimates are based on the 2010 Census population and housing counts with annual revisions based on the city's estimate of net housing construction over each year, rounded to the nearest 50 dwelling units and the nearest 100 people. Because the Census Bureau estimates for the city's population prior to the 2010 Census showed much greater growth than was demonstrated by the 2010 count, the method used by the Census Bureau may have a bias toward overestimating the change in the city's population from year to year. In an effort to minimize this potential bias, the estimates below are based on the assumption that the city's household size has remained constant since 2010 at approximately 2.03 persons per household. Household size has remained below 2.07 persons per household since 1980, was 2.04 in 1990 and 2000. It fell to 2.03 in 2010, in spite of the substantial growth in the number of children in the population and the number of school students between 2000 and 2010. The city has one of the lowest household sizes and highest percentage of single-person households in the U.S. compared to other places of comparable size.
If other information including statistically significant trends in annual American Community Survey data indicate that the household size, vacancy rate, or other characteristics of the city's population and housing are changing in a way that would indicate a higher or lower population estimate is justified, these estimates may be changed.
Year Department of Planning and Zoning Population Estimate (July)
2010 140,000
2011 140,100
2012 140,800

Information on population characteristics in the city comes primarily from the Census Bureau. The decennial census provides very detailed information every 10 years on just a few characteristics of the population based on the attempt to count everyone. Data is available on age, sex, race and ethnicity, household relationships, and whether households own or rent their housing unit. Much of this data is available to the census block level, usually equivalent to a city block.
The Census Bureau also conducts a continuing survey of households called The American Community Survey. This continuous survey reaches about 1% or more of all households each year and is tabulated and released yearly. This survey includes many more questions than the decennial census, including questions about income, employment, health insurance, disability, commuting patterns, and location of previous residence. Because the sample size is so small, annual results are released only for the city as a whole, and for places and counties over 65,000 population in the U.S. In addition, a five-year average is published every year that includes data to the census tract and block group level and is published for all counties and for places to 2,500 people. There are 39 census tracts and a lfew more than 100 block groups in the city, so the 5-year average can show geographic differences within the city and can indicate changes in various areas over time. However, this information should be used with caution since it is based on a sample of a very few households per year at the census tract and block group level. In addition, the sample reflects data taken over a 5-year period, so it may be difficult to judge the current situation when things are changing.
The report Alexandria 2010 Census Data Profile is a profile of the City prepared by City staff based on the 2010 Census and the American Community Survey 2006-2010 5-year average data. This report includes data on income, education, housing tenancy, ancestry, commuting, disability, foreign-born population, geographic mobility, and many other characteristics that help define who today's Alexandrians are.

Weaponry was always my favourite atribute in JA, all of my passion to guns started by playing JA2
What about those licenses? Do developers have them, or guns will have alternative names?
Alternatives would be cheaper and safer, but it'll destroy some part of the game.

* everything older than 50 years is license free (WW2 weapons, Ak47, Thompson, etc.).
* "Umarex" brand has bought lucrative license for H&K replicas, probably for names too.
* American guns are protected not only by brand license, but by U.S. government too.

Let's take a look at Skully and Shadow carrying an M4
(warning, nerding out below)
Here's the deal. A guy named Eugene Stoner invented a gun and named it the AR-15. Just like a car can have many options such as power windows, leather seats, red paint, blue paint, and still be the same gun you can take an AR-15 and put on a long barrel or a short barrel, paint it blue, paint it black, whatever, it's still an AR-15.
So the US government calls up the AR-15 maker and says "we want to buy 10,000, all with power windows, leather seats, and fire-engine red"...oh wait, it was really "we want a pencil thin barrel that is 20 inches long, and a triangular handguard." It's still an AR-15.
Now, the US government FOR THEIR OWN BOOKKEEPING, RECORDS, AND INVENTORY SYSTEM decided to name it M-16. They tend to go M-1, M-2, M-3, etc etc. When the US army bought some new D8 bulldozers from Caterpillar they named them M5. When they later bought some John Deer 5500 bulldozers, they named them M6
So what I am getting at here, unless the M4 in Shadow's hands is one he stole from the army, it isn't an M4. Heck, when the Canadians went and bought an AR-15 with the exact same feature set as the M4, they named it the C-8. (The C-7 in JA2 is the Canadian name of the M16, maybe all the AR-15s you see in Alruco are stolen from the Canadian Military...) It may be the exact same thing, but unless the US army owns it, it isn't an M4.
Names like AR-15 CAN be used in games.
Now, other weapons can be named by the type. Honestly, there isn't going to be any game difference (or any significant real world difference) between a Remington 870 Express pump action shotgun or a Mossberg 500 pump action shotgun, or a Winchester 1200 pump action shotgun or a JC Higgens pump action shotgun. It's not necessary to call it a Remington 870 in the game, you can simply call it Pump Action 12 Gauge

Da Vinci
Online Reservations
I try to go to restaurants I haven't been to for Restaurant Week. DaVinci was delicious and did not disappoint. The pasta was home made and melted in your mouth. Wine was delicious as was the chocolate mousse for dessert. Highly recommend.
Went during restaurant week. Food was good, service was just a tad slow. All staff were friendly and accommodating. Server could have had more knowledge of menu, including drinks. Dining room is small and crowded, definitely not a place for large groups. Overall very good experience.
A great evening! It was restaurant week and, by the food and service, you would never know It. They made it very special for us and the chef spent at least 15 minutes at the end of what I'm sure was a very long day hanging out with us at our table.
My husband and I along with other couples have eaten at DaVinci numerous times. This is our favorite downtown restaurant. The food is consistently fresh and delicious .Their menu changes with the seasons, so you can always expect something different on the menu everytime you go. The service is wonderful. The owner and head chef, Peppino, always takes time to visit our table and he always surprises us with something special. Everyone who we have taken to this restaurant always wants to come back. Love it!
We were served in a very timely manner and the service was outstanding. We loved the food the Masala ravioli and the sirloin were amazing.
The gluten free pasta at Da Vinci's is homemade and incredible. The salads are amazing, the homemade dressings are always matched perfectly to the type of salad on the menu. Food is always great and comes out burning hot!
We went during restaurant week so they had a specific menu. My experience with restaurant week is that sometimes the food is not as good as with the regular menu but this was not the case in DaVinci. The bolognese was excellent and the salmon was also very good. The service was very efficient and the staff very friendly and helpful. I will definitely will be coming back!
This was a wonderful dining experience. Service was terrific. Our waitress was very nice, as well as extremely knowledgeable not only about the food, but the wine. She was very forthcoming and offered many suggestions. The food was very creative and delicious. I highly recommend DaVinci.
We have been coming to DaVinci's for several years for either special occasion , restaurant week or just for dinner. we have never been dissapointed by the food. Always fresh and cook just the way you ask for it. Chef Pepino , what more can you ask for.
Table for 5. Waited at the bar on a Wednesday evening for the rest. Bartender was friendly, helpful and cocktails were excellent. Service was attentive, easy and good. Food was excellent. Using actual main menu items for the RW Prix Fixe was great and the whole point of RW, experiencing the restaurant you wouldn't normally try but now interested to return non-RW. Great experience!
We had a pleasant evening at Da Vinci, but some things were disappointing. The biggest problem was the noise level. We were there with friends and we had to lean over the table to talk to each other. The food was good, but not as exceptional as we had hoped. It was restaurant week, so we were buying from the restaurant week menu, but the items were all things that are on their normal menu. It was also not an inexpensive evening. The restaurant week menu is $38, which for four is $152. Add 6 glasses of wine and 2 cups of expresso and two pots of tea and the bill came to $240 without tip. There are restaurants with better food at those prices. And Da Vinci costs more when it is not restaurant week.
Beautiful set up, warm service, great food, great company and large round tables make it even cozier.
Simply fantastic food, in a fantastic and intimate setting, at an easy to find location. Will be back there soon
Good food. Limited choices, but enough for a nice dinner. Quite noisy for a Thursday evening Great service!
Excellent service, great wine list, and the food was supreme!!! We liked it so well that we went back for a second night during our visit to Boston.
DaVinci has become one of our favorite restaurants. It is hard to find finer preparation or quality of food. The staff is always friendly and highly capable; beginning with the valet to the hostess and the wait staff. Chef Pepino always speaks with his guests to ensure that they are happy and well fed. DaVinci is a gem!
A nice space away from the small, crowded north end, but still serving very good Italian food. The service was excellent, and willing to accommodate. We'd seen the la Amatriciana listed on the Open Table menu and asked if we could have it despite it's not being on the current menu. It was made and made pretty well. Overall the pastas where somewhat over sauced, but great flavors and textures. They have a very nice wine list too. The large space would make them very good for big parties and there where a couple there that night., However the noise level was far from annoying.
A gem of a restaurant that blends indian and italian cuisine. Good vegetarian options and great desserts
We love this restaurant. The food is beyond words. There is a beautiful menu which also includes a tasting menu..fit for the foodie. The drinks are delicious, the restaurant is beautiful and the chef/owner walks around his restaurant, mingling with his guests. Love love love this restaurant!!!!
wonderful 4 courses to match 4 Italian red wines with the winery owner/winemaker. this was a great experience - the food was wonderful and an absolutely perfect match to the meal. would highly recommend.
Superlative in food, service, and atmosphere Unique menu, with fusion of Italian and Indian influences, due to chef, who is as friendly as he is talented Chef has recently opened another restaurant (Soul of India).
From the minute we walked in to the minute that we left it was a great experience. The Valet, host and server all greeted us with a warm hello and a smile. We were brought to a beautiful table in a quiet corner. Since the five of us couldnt decide on an appetizer, the server suggested that the chef would figure something out for us. A trio of appetizers arrived - the Arancini, prosciutto & asparagus and tomato with burrata mozzarella - all amazing bites. My partner and I split two entrees - which was done in the kitchen for us and they were beautyfully presented. We all enjoyed our experience and dont forget dessert - if you enjoy great Italian food and don't want to deal with the north end parking and crowds go to DaVinci!!
We were warmly welcomed. Soon to discover we had accidentally booked for two instead of the four we needed. The restaurant staff didn't bat an eye and told us they'd be able to make it work. The restaurant was full but they found us a table within a short 5-7 minute wait. They couldn't have been nicer about making us feel welcome. The service was perfect, timely and attentive without being intrusive. Food was outstanding. All four of us were happy happy. Recommend any of the salads, the bolognese, the filet and dessert is a must!
The service and ambience were outstanding. The food was very good, but would have been excellent with the addition of salt. Salt brings out the flavor of meat, vegetables, and even desserts. At first I thought it was just the items I ordered, but halfway through the meal my son said the same thing about his choices. Usually, we never add salt at the table. I use it very lightly in cooking. There wasn't even a salt or pepper shaker at the table. We had a veal chop and a filet for our entrees, prosciutto wrapped asparagus as an appetizer and chocolate souffles for dessert. We had a bottle of Da Vinci chianti recommended by the server. It opened up a little by the end of the meal, but I did not like the flavor at all-very bitter.
We traveled to Boston for our anniversary and decided to have dinner at Da Vinci after a friend recommended the place. We had a great experience!! The atmosphere was awesome, staff was extremely friendly and the food was excellent. You are able to see into the kitchen which is always unique - the chef made a round to visit with all diners. We ordered dessert and were surprised with an additional "Happy Anniversary" dessert. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to the Boston area. Great find!
I read the reviews on TripAdvisor and thought it had a good chance of being great and it was! The bolognese is the best I have had outside of home! Service and ambience were outstanding. The maitre d however was not friendly and dismissive but we ignored him as the bartender and waiter were excellent. Fabulous chocolate souffle!
We really enjoyed our time with Chris our server. He was knowledgeable and friendly. We went with the Chef's tasting five course meal. We loved the food and the experience.
Great place for a special occasion. Our server (kim) went above and beyond to make My husband's birthday great! The food was excellent and it was nice to see the chef going to All the tables and interacting with the guests. Overall this restaurant is a must visit location.
Great and delicious dining experience! First, we got free valet parking due to a website error. Second, the food was 5 star delicious! And the icing on the cake was that, not only did the chef (chef Peppino) stopped by our table to say hi but he also sent a complimentary dessert (moscato) wine to our table when he learned that my husband was celebrating his 50th birthday! Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant!!
We were dining early @ 7pm and thought we'd avoid a loud dining experience. Once we were seated and started our meals, the noise level went significantly louder. Tables are very close together and with all the tables filled on a Saturday night, it was even more than "energetic". The food and service were excellent. Prices a bit high. A place to save for a special occasion.
I always give the a half star for the backlit menus....great idea for us old folks with challenged vision. We have been coming to DaVinci since it opened. The quality and service have not slipped one bit. If we are in Boston for a few days it is always one of our stops. Chef Peppino always stops by our table to accept praise or constructive suggestions. Great place
Loved this place -- from the dark decor to the wafer-thin homemade pappardelle. The service couldn't have been better, either. Had been wanting to try this restaurant as an alternative to Davios or Mistral - just for something different - and it surely wowed us.
I was in Boston for a convention and decided to take a break from seafood and find an Italian restaurant. Da Vinci was an excellent pick. I had the Prosciutto and Asparagus appetizer, and it was outstanding. Actually, the appetizer was so good that I would rank it as the highlight of the meal. I opted for a pasta dish for main course and it was excellent as well. The service was great, atmosphere was perfect, and the backlit menus were really helpful. Overall, a great experience and I would recommend highly.
A very pleasant environment and excellent food. Great service with a very courteous and efficient staff.
This restaurant provided an experience for my wife and me that tops any in recent memory. We did the 5 course meal and left more than satisfied with the result. Chef Papina was amazing, and the management cared about our experience in a way that was genuine and experiential. The food was incredible, from the bread at the beginning through to the exceptional swordfish, beef, and dessert at the end. We could not have hoped for a better experience. We can't wait to go back.
We celebrated a 60th birthday with a surprise romantic dinner for two. The whole experience was excellent! The restaurant is beautiful, waitstaff superb, and the chef took time to greet us. Wonderful food! Will definitely dine there again soon.
loved the food and appreciated a visit by chef and co-owner to our table.
In particucular, the homemade pastas are fabulous.
Each of the items on the menu that we chose (a party of four), was delicious. The mussels, salads, ravioli, salmon, and swordfish, were all beautifully cooked, and the portions just right. None if us could squeeze in a desert, so next time maybe we will skip the appetizer!
DaVinci is amazing. Very low-key, but so, so good! Lovely half-bottles of wine, which is all we needed. The menu is Italian, but definitely not full of red sauce dishes. We had salmon with veggie couscous that was amazing, and the cod special matched that quality. We did not try the desserts, but they did look yummy. One other nice thing is that the chef almost always comes out to check on the diners and make sure they are happy. He is a delight!
We were in Biston for a large conference at the nearby Convention Center and the restaurant was able to accommodate our table of 8 on a busy night (with reservations). The atmosphere was relaxed and the food was fantastic! Definitely the best meal of our trip.
Really enjoyed our early evening meal at this restaurant. Service by Tate was excellent (!!) and the food delicious- mussels were the best we've had since Maine, bread great, all other food and wine choices (with Tate's input) simply wonderful!! Loved that the Chef was visible behind a counter and that he came out to greet each table and ask for feedback!! Loved it and will be back when visiting Boston!
Just a great experience all around. Food and service were excellent. Our server (Chris) was very knowledgeable about the menu and wine list. We're definitely going back for the Bolognese!
The Manager Spencer (a very well spoken and good looking italian man lol) suggested a "Chef Tasting" and it was wonderful - Basically the Chef surprises you with Five of his most fav. dishes.. it was to dye for - My husband was so taking by the food and service that he suggested we should have our anniversary party at Da Vinci - and we will - GO AND TRY DA VINCI - IS AMAZING
I picked this place because is was near the Boston Opera House, which dinner paired quite nicely with. Service was fantastic and good was more than memorable. Great spot.
All of the food was exceptional when I dined at this restaurant but the Spinach/Feta Ravioli was exquisite. The ambience was just right and it was close to the Boston Park Plaza where I was staying during a business trip. I highly recommend this restaurant!
Took 2 clients from Europe. They were very impressed. The lighted menus were a big hit and it just kept getting better from there. Great wines by the glass. Very attentive and hospitable service. And food was exquisite. For the gluten free guest .... The gluten free pasta was great as was the gluten free chocolate desert. Very tastefully done decor. Only issue might be high ceilings for those with noise issues. We were seated near the back where the food is made as I asked for a quieter table. Glad we did as it seemed noisier than we would have liked closer to the front.
My wife and I enjoyed a great pre-show meal. It was our second visit. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the staff were very professional. Menu was a little pricy but OK for a special occasion. Portions were right. Would highly recommend for a special occasion.
That says it all. This way surpassed my expectations on every level. Excellent service, personal attention - the chef even came out to chat and we were given a complimentary dessert wine. Our waitress was delightful - perfect amount of attention and space. This was a business dinner with husbands colleagues who are well-traveled foodies - we were all impressed.
Our party of four had a wonderful experience ...lovely restaurant - excellent service ... mouth watering food! Chef/owner was courteous and friendly!! Visited tables personally! A nice touch! We will definitely be back!!

Professor Jessica Gabel played a large role in getting Cory Maye off of death row and out of Mississippi's prison system.
August 10, 2011
ATLANTA -- Visitors to Atwood Water Park along the Pearl River in Monticello, Miss., on July 23 wouldn't have noticed anything extraordinary about the party for Cory Maye taking place under the pavilion. But it wasn't a birthday or a family reunion; it was a long-awaited, hard-fought homecoming. After 10 years in Mississippi's prison system for a crime he did not commit, Maye was once again a free man.
Among the crowd of friends and family celebrating Maye's release was Georgia State University law professor Jessica Gabel, who played a large role in getting Maye off of death row and out of prison. Gabel was part of a pro bono legal team from Washington, D.C.-based firm Covington & Burling that joined Maye's defense counsel in 2006.
"When I read the transcript [of the trial] it just reminded me of everything I went to law school to do," says Gabel of the first time she heard Maye's story. "There was this grave injustice, and I couldn't not be a part of [the case]."
It was the night after Christmas, 2001. Maye and his 18-month-old daughter, Ta'corianna, were asleep in their duplex apartment in Prentiss, Miss.; his fiancée, Ta'corianna's mother, was working a night shift at a factory in Hattiesburg. Maye was jolted awake by the sound of someone attempting to break in at the back door.
Fearing for his daughter's safety, he grabbed and loaded the handgun he kept in the nightstand. When armed men burst through the back door and into the bedroom, Maye fired three shots into the darkness, killing one of the intruders.
What Maye thought was a band of burglars was actually a team of policemen conducting a SWAT-style drug raid on the duplex. The search warrants they had obtained suggest that Maye's neighbor in the other apartment, described as a "known drug dealer," was the intended target of the raid; Maye had not been named.
A doting young father with no prior criminal record, Maye was charged with capital murder, for knowingly killing a peace officer. He maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings, insisting that he was only trying to protect his family and did not know that the men entering his home were law enforcement. Maye was convicted and sentenced to death in 2004.
Journalist Radley Balko was researching a paper on the increased use of paramilitary police tactics for the Cato Institute, a policy think tank in Washington, D.C., when he came across Maye's case. "It just kind of jumped off the screen at me," Balko says. "Here's this guy who had no criminal record… it made no sense why this guy would knowingly take on a team of raiding police officers, shoot and kill one of them and then surrender with bullets left in his gun."
Gabel credits Balko with bringing Maye's case to national attention and getting outside attorneys involved in Maye's defense. Balko wrote about the case on his blog as soon as he discovered it in late 2005, and the story quickly proliferated across the Internet.
Abe Pafford, a young associate with Covington's D.C. office, saw a post online linking to Balko's coverage and was immediately taken with the story – he had a toddler himself. Pafford brought the case to the firm's pro bono coordinator, and soon they were assembling a team to go to Mississippi. Gabel, in Covington's San Francisco office, was brought on for her experience in forensics and death penalty cases.
Several months prior to Gabel, Pafford, and another D.C.-based attorney, Ben Vernia, beginning on the case, Maye's family fired his attorney and the trial judge appointed Bob Evans to represent Maye post-conviction. Evans had been the county public defender first appointed to Maye's case in 2001, but ultimately the Maye family hired a private attorney who had little experience in criminal cases and no experience with a death penalty case.
Over the next nine months, the new defense team partnered with Evans and reinvestigated every facet of Maye's case, conducting interviews, enlisting new experts and investigators, re-evaluating the forensics and ballistics, and more. In September 2006, Gabel and her colleagues had a hearing in front of the judge: Maye was immediately removed from death row, where he'd been held for more than two years, but his conviction stood.
The case proceeded to the Mississippi Court of Appeals, which, in November 2009, reversed Maye's conviction. This result was affirmed by the Mississippi Supreme Court in December 2010. The court held that Maye was entitled to a new trial because the trial court had improperly refused a jury instruction that would have highlighted Maye's legal right to act in defense of his infant daughter on the night of the shooting. The defense team began preparations for a September 2011 trial.
By this point each of the Covington attorneys on the case had moved on from the firm – Pafford and Vernia to their own practices, and Gabel to Georgia State – but they all continued their work on Maye's defense. Gabel brought the case into the classroom, working with her forensic evidence students on trial preparations such as developing a list of potential experts for the upcoming trial.
"All of May and June [this year] we were working hard on getting the forensics together," Gabel says. "It was great to have students involved in it so that they too can have that experience and take it with them, and maybe down the road get involved with these cases more.
"We were working to reunite a man with his family, so it was all the more precious and important, experience aside."
In late June, the prosecution hinted at the possibility that they might be willing to accept a lesser plea and bless Maye's immediate release from prison rather than try the case again. After several rounds of negotiations, Maye pleaded guilty to negligent homicide and was sentenced to 10 years in prison on July 1. Having already served nearly that much time, Maye had only to be processed before he could go home.
Maye's legal team – Gabel, Pafford, Vernia and Evans – and Balko were all at the park on the Pearl River to welcome him home in late July, a few days after he was released and reunited with his family.
"It was the last chapter in a case that has become so dear to my heart," Gabel says. "It was a long journey, so it was incredibly emotional and gratifying watching him hug his mom and his children. It's heartbreaking, given that he's lost 10 years, but also so beautiful to see a family reunited and starting over from scratch."

I'm thinking of hiring a project manager to lead the development of few web apps my company is doing.
The guy I'm considering has considerable experience in managing projects for a large digital agency. He's quite familiar with all technologies and process, understands programming logic and how to work with people, but he is not a strong programmer himself (apart from 2 year experience with Visual Basic for applications, programming some Access databases).
It is necessary for a project manager to be able to resolve programming problems and speak with developers on a technical level, or not?

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
i have the dryist lips during this fall winter season and i keep this in my purse and use it daily!! doenst feel sticky and stays on for a long time... i will be ordering more
I love this moisturizer, it also acts like my own primer. It goes on beyond smooth and never leaves my skin feeling greasy. I never step out without this amazing product!!!
This moisturizer is perfect! It is light enough so you don't feel like you're clogging your pores, and has enough coverage to keep your face moisturized throughout the day. It feels great on too!
This is a really good moisturizer and smells wonderful as well. I have oily break-out prone skin and really like the way this feels on my skin. It's not too heavy but also does a good job.
Very nice consistency, goes on light, non greasy - the price is a bit steep - ouch! Too bad otherwise I would incorporate it into my daily routine.
This moisturizer is so silky smooth! I also thought the sample size was perfect and am still using it a month later (switching out with other brands). I would highly recommend it!
I just saw the price. $55? No thanks. It was okay at best. Maybe I have sensitive skin, but it made my face burn. Don't make the mistake of rubbing this over your lips. I did and it made my lips swell. I have tried clinique, neutrogena oily/dry, this product, and neutrogena organic. My favorite was the organic neutrogena by far.
Really like this moisturizer. Goes on light, but great coverage, non greasy, pefect for day/night use.. A little over my price range for moisturizer, might hold off in purchasing. Still a great product.
I have very dry and sensitive skin and found that I required a large amount of lotion for my face to feel fully moisturized. It did however leave my skin glowing and soft and was the perfect lotion to use a base for applying foundation and blush.
I really loved this moisturizer after washing my face. I used it twice a day and it's not like other moisturizers that leave your face feeling oily and gross. Its light and it smells pretty good!!

Second "first time" endorsement for Nixon
MISSOURI (AP) -- Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has received a historic endorsement.
The Missouri Corn Growers Association has thrown its support behind Nixon's re-election campaign.
This is the first time the group has ever supported a gubernatorial candidate.
The group says it decided to make this historic move because of Nixon's ongoing support for agriculture growth in the state.
Nixon has been a strong proponent of expanding into the global market.
But this is not the first historic endorsement that Nixon has received.
The Missouri Soybean Association threw its first time support behind Nixon earlier this summer.

WASHINGTON, December 16, 2010 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – A diverse group of 24 organizations today asked the Environmental Protection Agency to allow an additional 60 days for public comment on proposed regulations designed to prevent misfueling with gasoline containing 15 percent ethanol (E15).
NPRA, the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association, is among the signers of a letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson requesting the extension beyond the current deadline of Jan. 3.
The letter says the extension is needed "to allow stakeholders the opportunity to offer complete and thoughtful comments" on the proposed misfueling regulations. Three of the eight weeks EPA designated to receive comments fall around holidays, when many people are out of their offices, the letter points out.
Organizations signing the letter are: Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers; American Boat Builders & Repairers Association; American Petroleum Institute; American Sportfishing Association; Association of Marina Industries; Boat Owners of the United States (BoatU.S.); Center for Coastal Conservation; Coastal Conservation Association; Engine Manufacturers Association; Environmental Working Group; International Liquid Terminals Association; International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association; Marine Retailers Association of America; Motorcycle Industry Council; National Association of State Boating Law Administrators; National Association of Truck Stop Operators (NATSO); National Marine Manufacturers Association; National Meat Association; National Petrochemical & Refiners Association; Outdoor Power Equipment Institute; Personal Watercraft Industry Association; Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council; Specialty Equipment Market Association; and Specialty Vehicle Institute of America.
"The members of NPRA want to be absolutely certain that the gasoline we manufacture for the American people is safe, effective and reliable," said NPRA President Charles T. Drevna. "This is why we've repeatedly asked EPA to proceed carefully on all its decisions regarding increasing the amount of ethanol allowed in our nation's fuel supply."
"Misfueling is a serious problem that could cause costly damage to the engines in vehicles and equipment powered by gasoline," Drevna said. "Groups concerned about this require more time to evaluate the problem so they can give EPA their best ideas on how to prevent misfueling."
EPA approved the use of E15 on Oct. 13 for cars and light-duty trucks produced for the 2007 model year and later, but did not approve the use of E15 for older cars and light-duty trucks, or for any model year for motorcycles, heavy-duty trucks, buses, boats, snowmobiles and outdoor power equipment.
Misfueling occurs when someone puts the wrong gasoline into an engine. For example, the driver of an older car could fill up with E15, or someone could fill a can with E15 for use in a lawnmower. NPRA supports the use of gasoline containing 10 percent ethanol (E10), which already makes up 85 percent of the gasoline sold in America, but advocates more testing to determine if E15 is safe.
EPA's proposed regulations designed to prevent misfueling include fuel pump labeling requirements to make consumers aware when a pump dispenses E15 and to educate them on the limited number of vehicles EPA says can use E15. In addition, EPA has proposed a quarterly survey of gasoline retailers designed to help ensure that gasoline pumps are properly labeled.
