Keep calm and free house-elves
Keep calm and what's comin' will come and we'll meet it when it does
Keep calm and it unscrews the other way
Keep calm and don't call me Nymphadora
Keep calm and not my daughter, you bitch
Keep calm and figure out how airplanes stay up
Keep calm and wotcher, Harry
So… this finally happened!
It took me way too long to get this together, but yes, you can now buy Keep Calm, HP T-shirts! Most of the designs that appear on this tumblr are now available in shirt form at this site:
*There are many more available at the store- and each design is available in many styles/colors/sizes- just make sure you're getting the right size (sizing charts are on each design's page). I'll continue to update the store as I make new graphics.
**If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, or if there's a graphic on here that you want in t-shirt form that's not currently available- feel free to send me a message/ask.
Thanks so much to sweetkiwi.tumblr for suggesting the t-shirt idea in the first place & for linking me to skreened! Her blog is beautiful, go follow her now!
Keep in mind, this is just a fun side-project for me- so don't worry, I'm not going to keep spamming you guys with the t-shirt related stuff, and I'm not going to keep begging or reminding you all to buy them either- t-shirt info will be in the sidebar from now on.
Also wanted to say thanks & hi to all the followers I've gotten recently, and to old followers out there who continue to be enthusiastic/excited by the graphics I post on here- you're all so awesome and thanks for the kind messages, they're much appreciated! I promise I'll actually answer questions on here very soon. More graphics coming your way!
Oh guys, I need to say that this girl is so sweet, and I love all the keep calms about Harry Potter that she does. So, come on, some people have been asking me about keep calm t-shirts, so now you can have it! Mainly the Harry Potter fans (me :D).
Keep calm and I'll join you when hell freezes over
Keep calm and give her hell from us, peeves
Keep calm and sort out your priorities
Keep calm and try not to get killed, or worse, expelled

One of the fun things about living abroad is learning about other cultures' culinary customs. I've discovered that pumpkin is a huge part of international diets. From South Africa, to the UK, to China, etc. Growing up, the only thing we used pumpkin for was pie and jack-o-lanterns...occasionally a gift of pumpkin bread would appear at our house during the holidays.
I have taken a British friend of mine's recipe for pumpkin soup and made it low fat by making it broth-based instead of cream-based.
2T olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
1 small pumpkin
2 sweet potatoes
1 white potato
2 carrots
1 bulb garlic
1 liter water (for thinner soup increase liquid to your liking)
2 veg or chix stock cubes (or 1 liter veg or chix broth)
salt and pepper to taste
Sautee onion in olive oil. Roast all other veggies for 1 hour at 350 (175 C). Mash all veggies except carrots together. I like to dice the carrots...gives the soup a little texture. Add broth and veggies to onion. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20-30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste and voila, yummy, healthy, homemade soup.
I made it last night and served it with roasted garlic beer bread.

Generation Entrepreneur – harnessing the economic potential of Arab youth through INJAZ
WASHINGTON and AMMAN, Jordan, Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Layalina Productions, Inc., an American non-profit, announced today that the first season of its reality series Generation Entrepreneur will premiere tonight on OSN Yahala! Shabab, the premium paid satellite television network in the Middle East and North Africa region.
Generation Entrepreneur features the efforts of young Arab entrepreneurs competing for incubation funding to start companies as part of INJAZ Al-Arab's entrepreneurship program. The episodes follow teams in Lebanon, Egypt, and Tunisia as they launch their startups, elect officers, issue stock, market their product or service, and compete in their respective national competitions for a chance to advance to the regional competition in Doha, Qatar.
The episodes are character-driven, with a cast of enterprising students who believe in the promise of economic opportunity at a time when the surging youth population has led to record youth unemployment and underemployment throughout the region. Each episode reveals the cast members' personal and professional challenges. In the nail-biting finale, the winners from each episode compete head to head against twelve other Arab countries in the hopes of winning the title of Best Arab Company of the Year.
Generation Entrepreneur is a Layalina production, in association with INJAZ Al-Arab. It is directed by Shawn Thompson and created, written and executive produced by Leon Shahabian, Layalina's Executive Vice President.
The Honorable Richard Bodman, Layalina's Chairman, stated: "This new series offers a great snapshot of the accomplishments possible for young, motivated Arabs striving to achieve their full potential. I believe this fast-paced and entertaining program is truly meaningful; it forecasts great hope for the future. And, we are extremely pleased to be working with Orbit Showtime Network (OSN) at a time when encouraging entrepreneurship is more important than ever."
Ambassador Paul Russo, Layalina's President, noted: "Our programs are designed to encourage entrepreneurship among young Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa, and we are extremely proud of our newest series. Vividly capturing the creativity, determination, and spirit of a group of young Arab competitors, Generation Entrepreneur will inspire young viewers to pursue new ventures of their own as they confront the challenges of soaring unemployment and underemployment throughout the region."
Soraya Salti, CEO of INJAZ Al-Arab, added: "This televised reality competition will contribute to a more prosperous, economically empowered generation and strengthen the culture of entrepreneurship amongst Arab youth. By partnering with Layalina and OSN, INJAZ is showcasing exceptional young Arab entrepreneurs as they display their business acumen, talent and competitive spirit. Viewers can watch them compete in real time in a bid to win the INJAZ regional competition. We're excited to have Generation Entrepreneur and OSN as platforms to share these young entrepreneurs' efforts."

Episode 1: Lebanon
Layan's micromanagement frustrates Ali, who repeatedly challenges her authority. The judges question PAW's mission of organizing activities that connect students from all sects and religious backgrounds. Nisrine endures many criticisms about her patriotic souvenir products and faces a coup the day of the competition. Gisele tries her best to turn around a failing company. They all think their hard work and determination will be enough to impress the judges.
Episode 2: Egypt
Ezz creates Wippy, an eyewear cleaner, and hopes to impress the judges with his polished product and sales figures. Lobna believes her t-shirt folder is a winner and is surprised to hear the judges' opinion. Mostafa tackles the issue of e-waste recycling and is confident his company, Recyclobekia, will make an international impact. All three expect to be rewarded for their hard work, but only one team can win 60,000 Egyptian pounds and earn bragging rights as Egypt's best startup.
Episode 3: Tunisia
Although pressured to be an entrepreneur by his parents, Ghassan has ambitions to run for political office one day. Mariem gets criticized for creating a smart phone application that advertises boutique sales, since not everyone in Tunisia has that kind of luxury. Marouan worries his technical college background will not measure up to the education of his competitors, but remains confident in his product. Each of them thinks they can win, but first have to grapple with the challenge of delivering presentations in Modern Standard Arabic.
Episode 4: Qatar
The winning startups from Lebanon, Egypt and Tunisia square off in the regional competition in Doha. They must compete against other Arab countries and deliver winning presentations. Nerves are at an all-time high for the young entrepreneurs as they prepare to battle it out on stage, but only one can win the highly coveted title of Best Arab Company of the Year.

He identified a Russian national living in Miami named "Svetlana B" who frequently flew in Melgen's private jet to parties in the Dominican Republic.
"This girl is one of the most regular participants in the activities the Doctor arranges for the Senator," Williams wrote. "She has traveled with them in the jet, sailed with them in the yacht, and has repeatedly visited the Doctor's house."
Public records show that a woman named Svitlana Buchyk got into a minor crash while driving a Chevrolet Impala on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables in 2010. The car belonged to Melgen's wife. Buchyk gave Melgen's North Palm Beach address as her own.
Buchyk spoke briefly with a Miami Herald reporter by telephone Thursday, saying she had worked for Melgen in the past.
But Buchyk wouldn't answer questions on the type of work she did, and was eager to defend Melgen — particularly when asked about stories of Melgen's alleged sexual liaisons with prostitutes.
"He is an amazing person," she said. "He was always with his family. There is nothing else I can say."
Buchyk added that many women would have liked to have spent time with her former employer.
"He treated me well," she said. "He had money. He was very generous."
Subsequent phone calls to "Svetlana" went to voicemail.
The emails also led to some dead ends.
Williams listed a phone number for another woman, citing her by name, supposedly one of Menendez's "favorite girls." The number is now disconnected.
He gave another number where Maria and Geraldine, the Brazilian and Colombian, could supposedly be reached. But now that number belongs to Mileyi Bencosme, who said she got the phone about six months ago.
Bencosme, 50, lives in Santiago de los Caballeros — about two hours from Santo Domingo — and said she had never heard of the women. In the past week, she has received dozens of calls from journalists in Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and other cities, asking for these women. Most of the calls were in English.
Bencosme said she's starting to feel like a victim of phone harassment.
"This morning somebody called me again and asked who I really was," she said on Saturday morning. "The question is, who are these women?"
Vinicio Castillo Semán, a cousin of Melgen, has another question. He said he will ask Dominican authorities to investigate who is behind the emails.
"These stories about prostitutes have been completely fabricated and it's audacious to me that these allegations can be spread anonymously," said Castillo Semán, who has also been accused of organizing parties with prostitutes for Menendez.
"This scandal has been created out of thin air."
Miami Herald staff writers Amy Sherman, Marc Caputo and Daniel Chang contributed to this report.

Workplace Injuries and the Boomers
We see older workers (classified as those over 55 years of age) forgoing retirement for a variety of reasons, including economic instability. Combine that behavior with this group's inherently large size and it's no surprise they represent the nation's fastest growing segment of the working population. So, how is this impacting the health system, particularly workers' compensation claims? We can look at some of the data produced from the Centers for Disease Control and the Bureau of Labor Statistics regarding their workplace injuries for clues.
The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report from April 29, 2011, describes the data and detail around 2009 workplace injuries among these older workers. We find that from 2003 to 2009 there was an absolute 5% increase in work-related injuries resulting in lost time among older workers, increasing from 12% of injuries to 17% of injuries among workers. While the rates for many injuries are lower in the older workers, the median length of time that these workers are absent from work increases with age, which suggests that these older workers take longer to recover from non-fatal injuries than their younger counterparts.
Some other data points are worth mentioning. We see that older workers have the highest fatal injury rates with 31% of all occupational fatalities. However, the rates of many other types of injuries are lower in the older workers, despite their higher rates of falls from the same level, fractures and hip injuries. In addition, back pain constitutes a large percentage of the acute traumatic injuries. Like the increasing problem of chronic pain, these cases have the potential to become long-term problems for injured workers, employers and carriers alike.
Clearly, critical strategies around safety to prevent falls and other injuries are required. We also need clear occupational medicine pathways for these workers to be treated by clinicians familiar with and capable of managing these injuries. Furthermore, these physicians should be vigilant against the development of chronic pain problems. Collectively we have an opportunity to recognize the trend and take steps toward mutual benefits for the injured workers, employers and carriers.

Instructions were clear enough. I suggest you carefully lay out and group all the nuts, bolts, and screws washers. It makes the install easier. The 6 heavy support brackets (3 on each side) are stamped to identify what side (D for driver's side) and (P for passenger side) they go on. The second stamped letter tells you the position (F for Front, C for Center, R for Rear). Much easier to follow as to where they go rather than the direction's explanation. Impressed with the quality of the solid support brackets and the side bars themselves.

Dent is hidden under the vehicle, no big deal. Installation is extremely easy if you use common sense instead of instructions. Bars are marked backwards, driver side is actually passenger side and vice verse. Plastic caps say remove before installation, instructions say install with plastic cap on the ends. The bars are not exactly the ones pictured on the web page. The bars pictured show mounting in the middle, with the bars open on each end, which is not the case. These bars are exactly like all the others for this model Jeep, seem to be heavy enough, for a cheaper price...

G.I. Joe: Retaliation (rated PG-13)
In the sequel to "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra", most of Channing Tatum's team is wiped out after the enemy infiltrates the White House and impersonates the president. So the survivors turn to the one man they can trust . . . the guy who created their unit.
Bruce Willis joins the cast as the ORIGINAL Joe, General Joe Colton. Some of the other new faces in this one are The Rock as Roadblock, RZA as Blind Master, and Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye.
The Host (rated PG-13)
This movie is based on a book by "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer, about an alien race that's invaded and taken over the bodies of nearly everyone on Earth.
Saoirse Ronan plays a girl who fights back, even after an alien takes over her broken body. And as they fight for control of her mind, the power of her love for a guy in the human resistance eventually sways the body snatcher over to our side.
The movie also stars William Hurt as the leader of the human rebels, and Diane Kruger from the "National Treasure" movies as an alien who tracks down humans to insert other alien souls into their bodies.
Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor (rated PG-13)
The latest movie Tyler Perry stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell as a married woman who has an affair with a handsome billionaire. Kim Kardashian, Brandy, and Vanessa Williams are also in it.

Itching to Know
by Irene Crosby, Volunteer, Patient Advocate
To my great delight, a new t-shirt came in the mail the other day. Not only is it the bright sunshine yellow I feel drawn to on these gray winter days, but it also represents a new dawning for NEA. The logo on my yellow t will be on our first official t-shirt for our inaugural fund-raising walk, Itching for a Cure, in April 2012. It has been a great pleasure to see how many of us are coming forward to raise awareness for our disease and the organization we formed to combat its rule over our lives.
It's a good time for NEA supporters to be taking a proactive position; the fountains of funding we depended on in the past are down to a thin stream, and we are only one organization among many who depend on these waters of life. Our NEA staff is working miracles with very few hands; we depend on the help you give us to stretch that assistance still further. Most people really want to help others; they only need to be asked. Every person you tell about NEA and its goals increases the chance that someone might want to contribute in some way. Many of our Board members attended one of our patient conferences and saw the good that we do and wanted to be part of it. Our telephone and in-person support group leaders mostly came to us the same way. All of these contributors grew and swelled into a mighty torrent with every new stream and rivulet added to their number—and we hope you will find some way you can be part of this very rewarding effort. We need your dollars but we also need your energy and great ideas to take our organization to worldwide recognition as the most significant effective advocate for people with eczema. We have come this far with your hearts and hands; you should be really proud of the foundation you have given us. Let me correct that: we should all be proud of the foundation we have given OURSELVES.
Our efforts over the past 23 years have led to new breakthroughs in eczema research and treatment; we must continue to make them better and SOONER. For those hardy souls who earn their Itching for a Cure walk t-shirts in April by soliciting sponsorships, I hope they wear the shirts proudly and often long after the walk is over. These shirts give voice to all that we aspire to and to all we have accomplished. Tell people who ask about them why this walk mattered and how they can help.
Start a phone support group in your area or tell your friends on Facebook about us. All these "drops in the bucket" will become an ocean of support and promise for people with eczema. I guarantee it; I've seen it happen for us all these years. I am really glad to have been there for the journey.
Happy New Year—and Better Times to Come!
Irene generously pledged a challenge grant to the Itching for a Cure 5K Walk. She matched the first $250 raised.

Review: 'The Mill and the Cross' is Artifice for Art's Sake
Movie Reviews By Landon Palmer on September 15, 2011 | Be the First To CommentPolish filmmaker Lech Majewski's new English language film The Mill and the Cross is a fascinating exercise in form and artistic experimentation. The film itself is a project brought forth by a dialogue between various art forms. It's based on Michael Francis Gibson's book of the same name and focuses on the lives of the many characters depicted in Flemish Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder's famous work The Way to Calvary (1564), a painting that features literally hundreds of individuals and a crucifixion allegory to boot. It seems almost natural that such a film would arise from the meeting of artistic minds across centuries, using a relatively new art form to give temporality and space to another. And Majewski's film, like any considerable work of visual art, has striking visuals and composition, not so much enlivening the everyday tasks of the characters in this painting with "realism" but depicting it through the opportunities of artistic representation. Thus, The Mill and the Cross is a fully aware and intentionally engaged with artifice and its process. Why then, is its very artificiality so off-putting?

Scalable from 16x16 to a massive 256x512, Magenta's Mondo Matrix UTP-based switching platform has become the standard in switch-centered applications for both small and large venues alike. Hundreds of thousands of Mondo ports are in use today, powering signage and information displays in casinos, sports stadiums, command and control centers and transportation hubs around the world.
The Mondo III is easy to field upgrade (in increments of 16 inputs and/or outputs) and, when combined with Magenta's MultiView Series, can extend, switch and distribute 1920x1200 resolution analog video, audio and serial to distances of 2,000 feet.
The Mondo Direct option directly integrates MultiView transmitters into a switch, saving even more rack space and allowing for a speedier and cleaner installation.
Users requiring addressable duplex serial in a switched environment can select the Mondo III's SAP option, enabling serial controls to be sent to groups of (or individual) receivers and displays while also allowing feedback from endpoints to return, through the Mondo, to the switch operator.

In Brief
- Dark matter is one of the great scientific mysteries of our time, but once astronomers accepted its existence, the answers to many other cosmic mysteries fell into place.
- Whatever this unknown material may be, it seems to explain why the disk of our Milky Way galaxy has such a pronounced warp at its outer rim. Orbiting satellite galaxies naturally tend to distort the galaxy, but their gravitational effect would be too weak without the amplification that dark matter provides.
- Another question dark matter answers is why the Milky Way appears to have fewer such satellite galaxies than models predict it should. It turns out that the satellites are probably out there, though composed almost entirely of dark matter, making them hard to detect.
More In This Article
Although astronomers only slowly came to realize dark matter's importance in the universe, for me personally it happened in an instant. In my first project as a postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1978, I measured the rotational velocities of star-forming giant molecular clouds in the outer part of the disk of our Milky Way galaxy. I worked out what was then the most accurate method to determine those velocities, and I sat down to plot out the results (by hand on graph paper) in the astronomy department lounge. Two other experts on the Milky Way, Frank Shu and Ivan King, happened by. They watched as I filled in the velocities of the outermost clouds, and the pattern we saw made it clear at once that the Milky Way was rife with dark matter, especially in its outermost parts. We sat and scratched our heads, imagining what the nature of the dark matter could be, and all the ideas we came up with turned out in short order to be wrong.
This study was one of many in the 1970s and 1980s that forced astronomers to conclude that dark matter—a mysterious substance that neither emits nor absorbs light and reveals itself solely by its gravitational influence—not only exists but is the dominant material constituent of the universe. Measurements with the WMAP spacecraft confirm that dark matter accounts for five times as much mass as ordinary matter (protons, neutrons, electrons, and so on). What the stuff is remains as elusive as ever. It is a measure of our ignorance that the most conservative hypothesis proposes that dark matter consists of an exotic particle not yet detected in particle accelerators, predicted by theories of matter that have not yet been verified. The most radical hypothesis is that Newton's law of gravity and Einstein's general theory of relativity are wrong or, at the very least, require unpleasant modifications.

Kareena Kapoor Hot Photos 2012 | Kareena Kapoor Pics 2012
Kareena Kapoor (pronounced [kəˈriːnaː kəˈpuːr]; born 21 September 1980), also known as Kareena Kapoor Khan, is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood films. During her career Kapoor has been noted for her performances in a range of film genres, from contemporary romantic dramas to comedies, period films to major Bollywood productions and less-publicised independent films.
Born into a family where her parents, Randhir Kapoor and Babita, and elder sister Karisma were actors, Kapoor faced the media spotlight at a young age but did not make her acting debut until the 2000 film Refugee. Her melodrama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... became India's highest-grossing film in the overseas market in 2001, and is one of her greatest commercial successes to date. After receiving negative reviews for a series of repetitive roles, Kapoor accepted more demanding parts to avoid being typecast and was recognised by critics for displaying greater versatility as an actress. Her portrayal of a sex worker in Chameli (2004) proved to be the turning point in her career, and she was later noted for her performances in the critically acclaimed films Dev (2004) and Omkara (2006). She went on to play the lead female role in the Imtiaz Ali-directed romantic comedy Jab We Met (2007, for which she received the Filmfare Award for Best Actress) and the drama 3 Idiots (2009, the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time). These accomplishments have established her as a leading actress of Hindi cinema.

Skills: Learns Acid Cocktail, Mojo, Cursed Ground, Spirit Ward
Well there are quite a few of you that have known that I have been wanting to write a guide to Voodoo Jester for quite some time. A few things held me back though, particularly the HotBL bug, the staff of the master port and my schedule. But in the last couple of days I caught a cold, leaving me restricted in my home on this wonderful Friday night . That's fine though. I will make lemonade out of these lemons.
Anyone who knows me knows I am addicted to Voodoo Jester. He is, without a shadow of a doubt, my favorite hero. Despite being a straightfoward hero, mastering him is a feat that many, many people will never accomplish. Slahser set the standard for this hero, and his Witch Doctor (Voodoo Jester's DotA counterpart) is admired to this day.
The traits of a player will become incredibly obvious when playing Voodoo Jester. You need incredible map awareness. You need to be skilled at both harassing and looking for opportunities. You must be a capable ganker when playing Jester. The ability to farm fast and efficiently is also a requirement, and to a certain degree being a decent support player won't hurt either. Positioning is key on this hero, as is mana management.
Long story short, Jester is an incredibly solid choice of a hero to master if you want to increase your game. As far as I'm concerned, no other hero will increase your capability to play this game well more then the Jester.
Acid Cocktail: Voodoo Jester throws a wretched mix of cursed chemicals at the an enemy, stunning them and nearby units one after another.
Target: Hostile, organic unit
Type: Magic
Range: 700 at all levels
Bouncing Range: 600 at all levels
Mana cost: 110/120/130/140
Cooldown: 20/18/15/14 seconds
Duration: 1 second on heroes, 5 seconds on creeps, at all levels
Bounces 2/4/6/8 times, dealing 75/100/125/150 damage to non-hero units. The first impact (the target you select) will stun for 1.5 seconds. THE FIRST IMPACT DOES NOT DAMAGE HEROES. FORGET WHAT THE TOOLTIP SAYS.
Speed of initial projectile is 650, bouncing projectiles have 450 speed.
Notes: This is, ultimately, Jester's only method of crowd control. There is a certain degree of luck when using it, but undeniably, skill is required too. Both the casting range and the bounce range is quite large, so underestimating this skill is incredibly foolish. A poorly placed cocktail can mean a 1.5 second stun, where as a ideal cocktail can mean signing the death certificate for 2 enemy heroes. Finally, this skill is Jester's farming tool of choice and is devastating against both neutrals and enemy creeps alike.
Mojo: Voodoo Jester reacts with a target's mojo, healing them over time if they are an ally or damaging them over time if they are an enemy. The good mojo passes to Voodoo Jester's allies, healing those around the target over time. The bad mojo drags down Voodoo Jester's enemies, causing those around the target to take damage over time.
Target: Organic unit
Type: Magic
Range: 500 at all levels
Aoe: 340 at all levels
Mana cost: 95/105/115/125
Duration: 8 seconds at all levels
Cooldown: 20/17/14/11 seconds
Heals/Damages for 10/20/30/40 health/magic damage per second
Notes: An interesting blend of Shadow Word and Voodoo Restoration, the uses of this skill are far stronger defensively then offensively. Where as a mojo'd enemy will separate himself to prevent damaging his team, a mojo'd ally will try to heal those around him as needed. Unlike either Shadow Word or Voodoo Restoration, it has some minor uses for farming as well, in particular later in the game as hordes of ranged creeps begin to stack up.
Cursed Ground: Voodoo Jester curses the very ground the enemy walks on, causing them to take damage over time based on how much life they lost after several seconds.
Target: Targeted AoE
Effected Targets: Enemy heroes
Type: Magic
Casting range: 400 at all levels
AoE (radius): 165 at all levels
Duration: 12 seconds at all levels
Mana cost: 120 at all levels
Enemies lose 5/10/15/20 hp/sec, 10/20/30/40 bonus damage for every 100 hp lost during Cursed Ground. Bonus damage is calculated every 4 seconds once Cursed Ground is cast, and damage is based on the difference between hp values currently and when Cursed Ground was cast.
Notes: Easily the strongest non-ultimate spell in the game in terms of damage, this is a skill that scales all game. The algorithm is rather annoying, so instead of solving using an iterative method I just decided to test it out in-game. Know that level 1 Cursed Ground is next to useless, so I only tested for level 2, 3, and 4. Base Magic reduction is accounted for, and I used a test value for raw damage at 300. Note that because Cursed Ground scales linearly, changing the test values will get similar modifiers.
2 1.41x 1.25x 1.12x
3 1.67x 1.43x 1.24x
4 1.95x 1.63x 1.38x
The output of these 9 values are the total damage multipliers after base magic reduction and/or armor is taken into consideration. Going along the y-axis yields levels of Cursed Ground, while going along the x-axis yields multipliers before the 4th, between the 4th and 8th, and after the 8th second respectively.
These numbers do not take into consideration health regen, since the result would be a range, so I used a test value of 1.75 hp/second.
After magic reduction, but not regen, Cursed Ground deals approximately 105/185/290/385 damage by itself. Lethal. Not an easy skill to land, with a relatively long cooldown too, but practice makes perfect.
Spirit Ward: The Voodoo Jester channels a deadly Spirit Ward to attack enemy heroes. Boosted by Staff of the Master.
Ability Type: Targeted, channeling
Allowed Targets: Enemy heroes
Targeting Type: Point
Damage Type: Physical
Casting range: 300/350/400
Duration: 8 secs at all levels
Mana cost: 200/200/300
Spirit Ward has 700 range and attack cooldown of 0.3 seconds at all levels.
Without SotM: Deals 60/90/120 damage (bounces once)
With SotM: Deals 90/120 (bounces once)/150 damage (splits to hit 3 targets)
Spirit Ward can be controlled to attack a specific target. This is often overlooked, but Spirit Ward will attack the closest thing to it when cast, and will continue to attack it unless the target runs out of range or you select a different target. No point having Spirit Ward attack a full hp opponent when it can attack a red hp one right?
Spirit Ward can be dodged with evasion or with fog/uphill attacks.
Notes: A very underestimated ultimate, the damage can easily add up quickly if not considered. A bouncing Spirit Ward means that the attack bounces from one target to another, like chain lightning, where as the splitting Spirit Ward means that the attack splits from the Spirit Ward itself, like split shot (if you've played dota). I know it may sound intuitive but there is confusion about this even to this day.
The casting range of this skill is something that is worth noting. It may be small, but it is enough that you can channel from the fog of trees, amongst other things. Just something to remember.
You would be naive to underestimate a spell that deals 200/300/400x2/500x3 dps, even if it is channeling.
Core Analysis: This is where we analyze hero-specific stuff like stat/stat gain, movespeed and hero independent synergy. Jester's base stats are undeniably lacking, with less then impressive numbers in all departments, including armor. His base damage is rather high, but his attack animation is subpar compared to his dota counterpart. His stat gain isn't particularly interesting, except for his int gain, which is high enough that he can support his relatively low cost skills mid-late game with ease. He is also a fast hero in general, giving him a considerable advantage at harassing early on.
As mentioned earlier on, Acid Cocktail is his only crowd control skill, and as such needs to be maxed out relatively quickly for ganks and team fights. Cursed Ground is incredibly strong just by itself, now imagine what happens when the enemy hero eats a nuke before the 4th second of a level 4 Curse and the damage is almost amplified by a factor of 2. Throw in a channeling spell that can do the dps of an agi carry x3, and you have a recipe for disaster. There are milestones to overcome though. We just need to build and skill logically, and the rest will follow easily.
Skill build:
1: Acid Cocktail
2: Cursed Ground
3: Cursed Ground
4: Acid Cocktail
5: Cursed Ground
6: Spirit Ward
7: Cursed Ground (maxed out)
8: Acid Cocktail
9: Acid Cocktail (maxed out)
10: Mojo
11. Spirit Ward
12-14: Mojo (maxed out)
15: Stats
16: Spirit Ward (maxed out)
17-25: Stats
Explanation: If you've played witch doctor before, this should look familiar. It is the cookie-cutter WD build, with voodoo restoration replacing mojo. Cursed Ground takes priority as the strongest non-ult nuke in the game, and Acid Cocktail is taken secondary due to it's incredibly strong uses as both a crowd control skill and as a farming tool. Mojo is taken last, as it helps sustain pushes, but it is worth taking over stats. Spirit Ward is a strong ult despite being channeling and should be taken whenever possible.
Now, you may be thinking, what about a solo Jester build? Or a babysitting build? Or a pushing Jester build? These things all have 1 thing in common, and that is that they force you to take mojo early on. Taking mojo over jester's only crowd control skill and the strongest non-ult nuke is simply not legitimate. I honestly don't care about the damage potential of mojo+ cursed ground either. If you think that is good try leveling up cocktail instead so that an extra stun from the bounce in effect grants you 200 damage which is amplified by cursed ground? Beats mojo any day.
If you have to solo Jester, follow the same skill build and just use mana battery/bottle like any mid solo hero reliant on spells would. If you have to babysit/run a push strat, try picking heroes that are more suitable for it, like Nymphora and Demented Shaman.
Item build: The goal of this skill build is incredibly, incredibly straightforward. It will focus on early game stats and items to null Jester's vulnerability and mana problems early on, and will build up to maximize the full potential of Spirit Ward and Cursed Ground.
- 1-2x Fortified Bracers (510 g each)
- Mana Battery/Power Supply (optional, 210/519 g)
- Bottle (600 g)
- Steamboots (1500 g)
- Staff of the Master (4300 g)
- Shrunken Head (3900 g)
Some starting item builds never change, start off with basic stat items, a mana pot or two, a set of runes of blight, a mana battery...basically any combination of the above which works for you.
Bracers are needed to null Jester's poor vitality, they have precedence over talismans.
Mana Battery/Power Supply is a pretty generic item that has its uses on like 95% of all the heroes out there, but Jester's combo of stun, nuke, ult is quite restricting early on and you do need the instant supply of mana it supplies.
Bottle is a no-brainer. Anyone who has been assassinated by an invis or hasted Jester knows this.
Steamboots are superior to Enhanced Marchers as of this version on casters. Enhanced Marchers just give you phase and negligible, while Steamboots give you more base movespeed and stats, which are incredibly useful early on as Jester, particularly due to his low base int and fixed mana costs.
Staff of the Master gives very generous stats for what you pay for, and its components are all useful from the instant you purchase them. Besides that, it basically amplifies your total damage output by nearly 87.5%
Shrunken Head is a simple item that gives str, some damage, and magic immunity, nothing more, nothing less. The synergy between channeling your ult and being magic immune are obvious.
Now a good question is, which one to get first? They both have their pros and cons. Staff of the Master is incredibly strong, except that it does not help you against disables. Shrunken head, on the other hand, allows you to channel your ult effectively relatively earlier on, but the stat gain is incredibly inferior, and the lack of int means that you will not be using Jester's primary farming skill, Acid Cocktail, as much as you might have liked.
I can basically guarantee you it will take you longer to farm shrunken head first, followed by SotM, then the other way around. It's up to personal preference and lineups, but even against a disable heavy lineup I find myself going SotM first the majority of the time, unless of course it is obviously impossible and impractical. You have to adapt, it's that simple.
Rejected items include wards, couriers, codex and assassin's shroud. Jester is not your typical ward whoring support hero. He is a ganker, and properly played, at least semi-carry status. We don't need to piss our money away on wards and couriers. Let the Glacius and the Nymphora do that.
Shroud is incredibly common in pubs, but it blows. There are so many aoe stuns and silences in HoN that even if they don't use wards or dust you will not be able to channel your ult in peace. Now imagine what happens if they do have truesight...
Now about codex, it has it's uses early on, but they begin to tapper off quickly. It does not give any vitality, where as both shrunken head and SotM have at least +10 str. Remember you have a team, just get your curse off and rely off their nukes to bring down their target, instead of buying a 3k item to do it yourself. Both Shrunken head and SotM have far more value to your team then Codex.
Luxury Items: Honestly I don't get this far often. There are 3 main items to consider though.
- Portal key (2150 g)
- Totem of Kuldra (5675 g)
- Null Stone (5175 g)
Portal key is a flexible item, being magic immune and blinking beside your target with cocktail, curse and ult is never a bad thing.
Totem of Kuldra is...Totem of Kuldra. Not really much to say. All players fear this item.
Null Stone can help block some spells that go through magic immunity, for example, Succubus' Hold.
Laning: Any lane is fine, I generally don't recommend soloing, but I am rather fond of sending a dual lane of Jester + Elec/Pebbles/Magmus mid. Jester is in the same class as Torturer, Defiler, and Soul Reaper are in. They are all quite strong when farmed. Do your best to farm, but don't neglect harassing.
If you are mid, do your best to maintain rune control. And finally, look constantly for openings for a cocktail+ cursed ground combo. You will have to capitalize on the enemy player's mistakes, which I find more often then not comprise of overconfidence or ignorance concerning the raw power of Cursed Ground. Oh well. Their loss right?
Ganking: Straightfoward, cast cocktail, cursed ground and ult right? Well it's not quite that easy, even in low-tier games people know that Jester's ult is channeling and will focus you with stuns.
A more ideal approach would be to look for an ideal opening to cast cocktail, run up and cast cursed ground while they are stunned, and then immediately judge the scenerio of the gank...against some heroes like slither, you can immediately drop your ward, again, using the casting range to block off likely escape routes
The vast majority of heroes, however, will immediately try to stun you right after they recover from acid cocktail. Most of the heroes, however, only have 1 disable. Eat the disable (hopefully your gank mates has already done their part with their own stuns and nukes) and then proceed to chase the hero, again, using the casting range of Spirit Ward and the surrounding areas to your advantage.
Team fights: Same deal as ganks, really. Hopefully you have shrunken head by now, if not, you will just have to be as opportunistic as possible. You will want to curse key heroes, which are usually carry heroes or incredibly powerful disablers like succubus. A key thing to remember here is not to get caught, especially by initiating heroes like tempest or behemoth. Mistakes do happen, but honestly you should be smart enough not to bunch up with your allies while pushing uphill to a base tower, especially given the nature of Jester.
Other: Although Jester's base damage is high, it won't be enough to farm the core items before it matters. When farming a lane with Jester, dps a creep down, and when he is below 150 hp, cast cocktail to ensure the kill, and mop up. If you have to choose between melee and ranged creeps, pick ranged.
Mojo is used similarily when farming, but using both mojo and cocktail to farm a wave is usually excessive unless it is really that big. You should always maintain enough mana for Jester's combo (560 at maxed out ult), so yea. Again, prioritize ranged creeps over melee, and use the aoe to your advantage...cast mojo on the middle ranged creeps rather then those by the edges.
When pushing with mojo, casting it on an ally will almost certainly instinctively get nearby allies to rally by the mojo'd unit. This obviously can raise issues, especially if the other team has initating heroes, again. Just be smart about it, that not only applies to you, the reader, but also your team. Rallying is fine if they are dead and you are pushing raxes. Rallying is not fine if you are pushing without vision against 5 alive enemy heroes.
Finally, when pushing raxes, don't bother using cocktail on the enemy creeps that spawn. Allow your allies to take care of them, and save cocktail for when the enemy heroes challenge you.
Not gonna lie I haven't played Voodoo Jester in months. So I decided it was time I played him again. Although this was a low-ranked game, I really liked it because it really highlights all of Voodoo Jester's strengths and weaknesses. It shows just how deadly curse is, how to balance farming and ganking (I farm a 19 min sotm this game although my cs was pathetic due to me half-babysitting Hammerstorm top), and how positioning is key. Everytime magmus or DW catch me in their respective stuns, I die. Even with the early boost in hp from sotm. That says alot. Was a fun game, even though I was spiking a bit and was fairly one-sided.
Also features Swordknight as the enemy Magmus
Voodoo Jester Replay
And so we have come to the end of my sixth, and final guide. There have been some highs and some lows, but ultimately I am satisfied with how my guides went. As always comments and concerns are welcome.
It has been my pleasure to write these guides. Cheers.

So... What is this, your 3. last guide?
Take a look at my hero suggestions:
The_Chaplain [From Savage 2, includes Ressurection!]
The_Savage [From Savage 2, features the Charge-O-Meter!]
Does demonic breastplate (or for that matter, any attack speed aura) increase ward attack speed?

uhm and wheres the codex as an option for making it? in earlygame it work perfectly with invis rune and u didnt even mention it.
jester with no codex = demented without kundra...
Thanks Trainingday, Voodoo is one of my favourite heroes and it's always good to see someone else's take on something.
It has it's uses early on, but they begin to tapper off quickly. It does not give any vitality, where as both shrunken head and SotM have at least +10 str. Remember you have a team, just get your curse off and rely off their nukes to bring down their target, instead of buying a 3k item to do it yourself. I'll update my guide concerning codex, can't believe I forgot this >.<
@ Craftman_ No, Spirit Ward is not effected by ias aura. As the damage is physical, it is effected by armor though. So if the enemy Jerez pops his ult, spirit ward is useless. Likewise, if spirit ward attacks a caster effected by Pestilence's swarm, expect him to die in less then 3 seconds.
Unless another high-tier hero like Electrician comes along this will indeed be my last guide lol (man I say that so much). Writing guides for dota-port heroes is fun and all but I am mainly interested in the potential of new heroes as they come. Mb by Christmas I'll write another guide

"devestating" typo!
Should add a tip that you can actually target the ward. Just click on it to select it and then target it like your hero.
I've had pains before finding out this trick

Oh, really. Did not know that. It always seemed not targetable. Maybe S2 should do something about this? ;E
Great guide! I love Voodoo Jester, and it's always nice to see other peoples' strategies. I might stop buying Assassin's Shroud in favor of a Portal Key now, you made an interesting point.
thank you for bestowing upon us the gift of your knowledge, you truly have a big penis
Glad you outlined that Jester shouldn't waste gold on wards if support *****es are present. While he doesn't scale quite as well as other int carries because his big lategame damage spell is channeling he still uses items effectively enough to justify calling him an int carry considering if you land a good ult it will put out more burst physical damage than most melee carries can. It's a common misconception that he's just some support *****.
Voodoo feeds off the tears of Electrician, Magmus, Succubus, and Tempest. Nice guide, too many focus on the Cursed Ground/Mojo combo instead of leveling Acid Cocktail first (the ~100 damage you get in from autoattacks from the extra stun before the first Cursed Ground tick far outweights Mojo until it's level 3 or 4)
Really good guide, interesting to hear someone speak of Voodoo Jester as a semi-carry (never heard that one before). I always thought he was just lumped into ganker/support with limited late-game potential.
I don't get the logic behind not leveling Mojo early.
The heal will keep both you and your lane partner in good shape most of the game and you can save money by not getting (as many) tangos or use the money to get claritys.
Likewise, the DoT effect deals a lot of damage, around 320 at level 4 if I'm correct. Sure it's not an instant nuke, but that can deceive enemies into not running when they should have, get them to low hp and then watch the kill message appear 5 seconds after they supposedly get away.
Acid Cocktail's duration is 1 at all levels and getting a longer stun times depends on the bounces, so I don't see how leveling it more will help you. Getting it at level 1 to gank/prevent ganks is a smart idea, but I usually go Mojo/Cursed Ground after that.
I'm not going to argue that I'm an expert, because I'm not, but this this the most logical way to play Voodoo from my perspective. If you could further explain to me why Acid Cocktail/Cursed Ground is better than my build I would appreciate it.
Acid Cocktail is far more useful early to mid game when Jester is ganking all over the map. Jester's biggest asset is his ability to cause mayhem during a team fight with Acid Cocktail, stunning multiple heroes and locking them in place.
Mojo is certainly a good skill, and a big step up from Voodoo Restoration (the skill Witch Doctor had in DotA). However, it is not good enough to replace Acid Cocktail, which is an invaulable gank skill.
Voodoo Jester is a ganking hero / intiator. Acid Cocktail as an opening is pretty much his bread and butter. You need this skill early game to be useful, otherwise you have to totally rely on teammates to get kills (or be really good at placing Cursed Ground).
Personally TrainingDay, I like to go Bottle/Steamboots/Blink rather than rushing a Staff of the Master. I find it easier to land and setup stuns and Cursed ground, as the projectile speed for Acid Cocktail is way slower than the DotA incarnation.

Excellent Tablet
The software upgrade from Nook to open up the Play store was an essential factor for me to consider this tablet. There are plenty of useful and educational apps now available some of which I hope my daughter will make good use of.
A camera would have been a useful feature - even if low quality just for snapshots. The lack of 3G was not really a concern. The performance issues and minor bugs with the Nook user interface detract a bit from the enjoyment of using the tablet, however the performance while running apps is excellent.
Hopefully the relatively minor Nook UI issues will be fixed with a future software update.
This tablet is exceptional value for money and with its excellent screen and performance ( apart from the Nook UI ) and robust build I would recommend it without reservation.
Pros: Exceptional value for money, hi res screen, powerful enough to play demanding games well, light and sturdy, Micro SD storage expansion option, internet browsing works well
Cons: Nook user interface is prone to occasional freezes and being slow to respond, non standard usb cable, no camera

A client of mine wants a database in which they can store images and metadata about permissions for those images. When doing picture research they want to make it easier for themselves to search for suitable images among what they've already used, and to be able to see what permissions they have to re-use the image. The budget is small and they want to move quickly, so a big, multi-featured DAM or CMS system is not what they want.
Any recommendations of who I should be adding to my list of potential vendors?

Latest FLYER headlines:
Wonderful thing about flying -- there's always lots more "first times"!
In the dim and distant future when I've got a gazillion hours and the disposable income to spend on a rating that won't make me a living and I can do for the love of it maybe. I did think of putting some specifics in for the various skills and subjects, but it was already getting long. I may do more. Next time it's bucketing down and I want to fly and can't most likely! "Let's go flying"
Scribblings of a novice PPL
Hi Leiafee!
You never fail to impress with your writings!...maybe the next JKRowling - aviators style (aviatrix for formalitiy!) It's pretty good having your blog to keep a close eye on. I had my second round of circuits last week and well it felt like "one of those" lessons, strangely enough though, where i'd normally be beating myself up after a thow around like that, I was genuinly happy with how it all went. (I managed 1/5 landings with no major help I'm loving the circuit! Have landed myself with a cold this weekend and have had to cancel this sunday - the weather doesn't look too good, so hopfully I wont be too disappointed! Keep us entertained!
I found circuitbashing quite satisfying in and odd sort of way -- where you were doing the same thing every time, it was easier to see the small improvements when they came!
"Let's go flying"
Scribblings of a novice PPL
As a newbie could I ask a question about how up to date my older PPL books are? I am currently studying for my exams but I bought my Trevor Thom books in 2000 (sadly it never worked out back then). Are they up to date or will I have to cough up some more dosh for the newist editions?
Thanks And thanks to leiafee for his "How To". It certainly is very useful.
Hi Panio,
May I suggest that you get the latest ones. Most of the stuff in them is the same as it's always been, but there have been updates here and there, and as you want to commit what you read to memory, you are in danger of memorising the pre-updated information. I was caught out by this when I took my written exams (air law, RT etc.). I know there's a cost involved, but I think that you will be happy in that you are learning the latest information. P.S Don't forget CAP 413 Radio Telephony, free download off the CAA site. RogD
If you're on a budget I'd say get the latest airlaw definately but the rest aren't quite as critical.
Aeroplane engines for example certainly haven't changed much in the past few years (or indeed past 50 or so in some cases!) Have a look at the practice papers and see if what you've got seems to cover it. (Oh and another money scrounger tip... the r/t book I never bought at all, just learned it from CAP 413 which is available online) "Let's go flying"
Scribblings of a novice PPL
a terrific help all round.
The bit about "thinking you've forgetten stuff" is what I went through. After only about 5 hours in, I was rained off for 5/6 weeks. Then when I did get a lesson, there was a new instructor. I came down after an hour thinking that I had never flown before ! The instructor assured me that it was normal, & that I was like any other 5/6 hour learner,,,,, but it didn't stop me feeling like a right prat ! Am still only 10 hours in & loving every minute of it,,,,,,,, come on weather ! thanks Leia
I'm anxiously waiting for my first cancellation, which was supposed to be my first true lesson! Due to be flying at mid-day, the weather forecast is a little variable and border-line; nice cross-wind too. Have you ever, ever felt like this?
Had strange things happen? Are you going round the twist?
Happily the weather was "okay" at the field, and was good enough for flying in. Hurrah! Have you ever, ever felt like this?

Shimano® started off with humble beginnings in 1961. At the New York Toy Show, Shimano presented a 3-speed bike hub that sparked the popularity for multi-speed hubs. Once they became established with a head office in Japan, Shimano expanded to the United States.
In New York, Shimano started off small with only 3 employees. The main goal for Shimano new office was to be closer to the American customers and distributers. By being in the same country, Shimano was able to provide assistance and receive reviews faster. Their decision to become more accessible has paid off since Shimano now is a well-known and popular destination for bike gear including some of the most efficient bike shoes and road shoes on the market. Their ever-growing collection of Shimano bike shoes are popular among triathletes and those who are looking for a healthier lifestyle.
Some of the design benefits for Shimano bike shoes and Shimano road shoes are the oversized strap or the micro-adjust buckle that help you make a fast transition and keep your feet secure. Other Shimano bike shoes also have metal fiber sown into the lining to prevent the heel from lifting out of the shoe. As technology keeps growing, Shimano bike shoes are sure to keep expanding.

Spot-on Home Cooking
Duffy's provides service and food for weekend eats
Often people will go into a restaurant expecting something other than what it is designed to provide. An upscale, white tablecloth place, for instance, doesn't make the same promise that a drive in fast food restaurant does and vice versa.
One of the first responsibilities that we as diners have is to be aware of where we are going, what the concept is and what the expectation should be.
If you go to a neighborhood restaurant with a $6 average meal, you will not get, nor should you expect to get, the same service and ambience you will get at a four-star establishment. So when I hear things from people about a particular place, the first thing I do is apply those guidelines. Are they upset because they didn't get white tablecloth service in a neighborhood diner? Or are their expectations reasonable? Do I mean that you should compromise your standards; not at all. But at $6-$7 per plate, the experience is more about comfort, efficiency and expedience, and the food should be fresh, tasty and plentiful.
A fine dining service person might have three or four tables, while a local diner server may have six or seven. Not that waiting on three tables is easy, it's just different. And the good ones are pouring coffee and clearing plates for each other on their tables, too. Keep my coffee topped off, look my way or come by my table so I feel attended to, and otherwise leave me alone.
Saturday and Sunday mornings for many are all about starting out the day by going out for breakfast. We read the paper, catch up with family who we don't get to spend a lot of time with during the week, or just relax and enjoy someone else doing the work for a change. Every neighborhood has a diner or two that caters to this weekend ritual and often they are tucked into a strip center, in an old building, maybe a free standing operation, but as often as not, if you don't know they're there, they're easy to miss.
Such is the case with Duffy's Home Cooking Place, at 15th and Lewis. The front windows are covered with professionally hand-painted signs advertising special meals and hours.
On this particular Sunday, it was busy and running like a well oiled machine. Tables were turning quickly, but I felt no pressure to leave until I was ready.
Duffy's has the look and feel of a place that has seen a LOT of traffic. That is to say, it is well worn but clean. My waitress told me it has been in existence for more than 17 years. That's a lot of foot traffic, and I could just imagine how many people had traveled the aisle between those tables. Local adverts adorn the table tops, and it was fun to see which Midtown entrepreneurs have chosen to put their enlarged business cards and ads under the clear coated tabletop. If you think about it, it's probably some of the most permanent forms of advertising you can get for the money.
Often, since we are not The New York Times and I can't visit each place two or three times before I review it, I order something a little off the beaten path and ask them to change an ingredient to see how they handle the special request. This gives me a little bit of an idea of the kitchen's flexibility, and the dining room's willingness to turn in an order that is a little bit of a challenge.
I was impressed with the selection of menu items available. Everyone has eggs and pancakes, (and by the way, my pancake was the size of a hub cap off an old Lincoln and was sweet and fluffy with strong overtones of good vanilla that doesn't "cook out"). Additionally though, Duffy's has eggs and pork chops, eggs and steak, eggs and smoked pork chops, eggs and lobster, (OK, I might be kidding about the lobster part) and on and on. It's a great selection of options and a bit more comprehensive than a lot of other places in town. A chalkboard greets you at the door with the specials of the day, and someone shouts, "Sit anywhere you like!" Just like home; I love it!
My choice was Eggs Benedict. I asked for it without the ham and a layer of corned beef hash in its place pressed on the griddle to make it crusty on each side. My server said yes without more than a second's hesitation.
The order went in at 10:07am; the food was in front of me at 10:15; fresh, steaming hot, bountiful and tasty.
In the restaurant industry a 10-minute ticket time is the goal most places strive for. It's realistic, and it gels with the attention span of the average American, so to get it out in eight minutes, as busy as they were, is excellent. It was SO hot in fact that I had to blow on each bite for the first three or four minutes.
I love shredded, fresh hash browns -- brown and crispy from the griddle, done to order and piled next to my eggs, so I can mix it all together into my own hash. And that's exactly what I got. Crusty and caramelized on the outside, steamy and starchy in the middle. One of my pet peeves is getting a breakfast plate with a pile of deep fried, frozen potato cubes -- or worse, a fried, shaped potato cake.
The eggs Benedict were excellent, a nice layer of corned beef hash on top of an English muffin, topped with two perfectly poached eggs and smothered in hollandaise sauce.
The sauce is a canned mix, but a tasty one, which is a good thing these days because of the concerns about salmonella. I shudder to think about how many times as young line cooks we would make a hollandaise at the beginning of service and use it all night long as it sat in a lukewarm pot on the hot line, so it didn't "break." There just wasn't the awareness that there is today. But ... I digress.
All in all, I found it to be everything I would expect from a local, neighborhood diner and breakfast place. It is exactly what it promises to be. We are all creatures of habit to one degree or another and tend to stick with a place when we find one that fits us, especially weekend breakfast establishments. But if you're in the mood for a change some weekend, check out Duffy's. It's worth it.
