CBA6: tweet by tweet and blog by blog
Given that the theme of the 6th International conference on community-based adaptation to climate change was communications, it's only fitting that participants embraced social media with open arms.
According to Topsy labs social analytics, #CBA6, the hashtag used to identify all conference-related tweets on twitter, has been mentioned a total of 1,726 times (as of 25 April). 26 blogs were written by 13 different bloggers. Below I have selected some of the brilliant photographs, blogs and tweets written by participants at the conference. Coverage starts with the field trips and moves onto the conference in Hanoi, Vietnam. This isn't exhaustive and doesn't include video coverage. Look at our conference blog feed for a more complete list of all blogs and video content produced.
Just as Clay Shirky shows how Ushahidi and Wikipedia are new media tools that help users aggregate and share "dispersed knowledge" in his book Cognitive Surplus, so too, do these tweets and blogs. When combined on IIED's CBA6 live blog feed or in this storify, they help to collectively capture and weave together key ideas learned and shared.

At Last, A Carl Monday Video That Will Never Be Rubbed Out
For too long, the video
For too long, the video
Right now Carl Monday is snapping down the protective visor on his riot helmet, scrambling into the back of the WKYC Action News van and yelling "Let's roll!" Yes, the big Masturbate-A-Thon is tomorrow
We must confess that we can't wait each year for the crunch of shoulder pads; for cleats churning up chunks of turf and red-faced coaches screaming from the sidelines. But enough about lacrosse. College football season is upon us, and to celebrate, we're going to get back into tiny tidbit mode and present four things…
We know, it's a week-and-a-half old now, but we never did get a hold of YouTube of the gripping finale of the Carl Monday-Mike Cooper saga
It is at once Carl Monday's worst nightmare, and everyone else's dream come true

These Olympics I'm sure you've all heard about the controversy over.
Be Olympic team Olympic team USA's uniform is having been made in China now for those of you.
We think that's not to big deal our next guest disagrees and to bring on AV maxed out here she's -- owner of Amy Madison dot com the fashion company -- Amy.
You say that people may not recognize the value of manufacturing clothing here in the USA and what that contributes to the economy talk to be a little bit about that what your company does.
It's very important when I started my company -- decided that I would produce not.
No accident or some of -- but all of it 100% in New York city's garment district now let's have companies that -- made in the USA but.
Pena say with one part in this country another -- from that country it was sort of the getting your that they -- their way there'd actually be built I mean there's I -- of fine print.
When you -- made in the USA -- -- your company different from that my company 100% within a one block radius but if you look at the map.
Of New York City the garment district 38 the name is where the -- it.
And my office is right there and we risk.
Literally make everything we cut everything we so everything it's.
Designed within one block which is represented only ten blocks from here and I hear anything to look at this -- now I have.
What made you decide this and how challenging hasn't been to stay profitable because usually when companies -- overseas because they get much cheaper labor does humor.
Products they just find better cost saving money go abroad so how -- you manage to stay afloat and keep it in the US.
Well it's.
Really it was just a personal decision that I -- and you know when you started the company it -- Nobody really you know where it was interpret people really -- or not but now people are really starting to -- mourned more and they're asking for an.
And the boutiques that -- from the are really asking for -- and they see that there's a difference and the consumer they're asking for a and it's really -- -- to the consumer so.
People that -- There clothing made in USA it's really up to the consumer to make them success -- -- do you think that's threatening that -- being made in the USA is resonating more with the public now than it used to.
I don't think anybody really paid attention be far and I think it's great that we're finally talking about ending the Olympic uniforms really brought the subject to light that.
You know we -- -- marketing the American and all American lifestyle and dream sided unfortunately made in China.
So it it's great that where we're finally talking about it and I think people are really starting to care and they're starting to ask.
-- in USA.
ISO MET shirt that lets say in my this as made in USA and Chinese characters.
Think that's that's a little little irony there -- so.
Now but what's the goal of this service is to get a message across this for people to take a stand -- and I -- you're fine this is just kind of for fun but it was you know again it was really important for me.
I got into the big department stores and have asked you know if you have anything made in USA.
And I'm quite a large full -- she walking all around very nicely but they had nothing.
Nothing me and this is one of the biggest problems -- -- Citi.
They had nothing they need I say it's important to me and I think.
And now more and more people at its start to become more of a trend that people really do -- they're starting to think about it innovative thought about it and -- working in the industry innocent people -- once you're community understand why they would outsource this kind of stuff to China.
What are your thoughts on that being an insider here if you understand why that company went that route.
Well it's because of labor costs and really it's up you know its labor costs but.
You know so the the lever.
Is more expensive here but it's section -- -- to be able to go we we got several times for factory every day.
You know I mean if you and have a question about anything you can just walk across the street and you get the answer you see -- you really catch it it's not.
An email you know going back and forth and you hope that the -- turn out right you can go and yet you can see in the -- yourself.
-- also we've heard several times as you know we constantly cover this outsourcing of jobs that.
The quality of labor a lot of times is better in stronger economic countries like the US or let's like Germany's production -- -- still so high because.
It's not in people's best interest -- son didn't of the costs are lower outsourced because the quality of sleep they get here is that if the product that you're putting out is better and how has your experience been related to.
We think so I.
I'm really you hold my -- that -- you turn -- inside out it's beautifully made.
And we really believe in and the workers here in the garment district and everything has just.
Such high quality actually -- Soviet president -- -- -- -- describe those or some sort of walk us through that process that the great.
This you know he's from.
And this again was made 100% in New York city's -- that.
And and -- Another you know all the all the -- -- really go from DE mean.
And these -- the perfect dresses you know whether it's for.
Or a luncheon.
You know where for the -- and then it changes to change it to Hillary and -- There have been eating and running things we were just talking about with Anna was that the -- -- different cities like tech companies are now coming.
To New York City what made you decide on New York City as the hub for your company.
Well it is really the garment district and it's so important.
And you know I really hope that for.
People do come back to the garment district because it's such a wonderful resource that we have to really have.
All these wonderfully skilled laborers right there in one location where you can have the fast pattern makers the best.
Markers and readers and the best sellers and you know it whether -- sewing leather or or you know the dresses that were wearing.
It's suggested that the skill level is it's everybody's right there that's wonderful currently got Barak to find out more about -- mission and check out some of those -- in the -- you want to purchase -- For you or me.

I grow my own, pick up the rest from the local farmer stands or the farmers markets. I avoid the big chain stores as much as possible. Simply cause I don't care for most people, I see far fewer.
There was a story about an Apple Farmer up in Washington last year. Almost lost his crop but after advertising $11/hr job with he ended up filling his labor pool from Jamaica. He had to pay their flights to and from, plus build cottages for them to sleep in.
He said of the 300 positions he filled 6 with Americans.
I thought people wanted to work?
Why work? Obama wants people to be dependent on the government. He loves poor people, after all look at how many he created.

I will be travelling near the gorge on this date but only found out bout the festival a few weeks ago, tix all gone! Anyone got any tips on getting in? Legitimately of course… Or do you guys want a keen, free photographer? Ha! Enough said.
On Sun, May 16, 2010 - 9:32:15 by WebsterC
psst….it's The Gorge in Washington (the state, not DC)...as opposed to George, USA. I've heard it's breathtaking there. Should be a great gig.
On Sun, May 16, 2010 - 2:35:03 by mamalikes
you and miss marling are the main reason i purchased a ticket. and how lucky that you both have added shows before and after… i'll be in portland the night before for laura. then sasquatch…THEN portland again for you all! seriously. this is going to be the best week / month / summer ever!

i have to agree with Clair .... The Triple Door, or the Moore theatre, or even Paramount. I'm afraid the Sasquatch Fest is a bit spendy, far to drive, and a different atmosphere than many would like to see you guys in. That said, I hope you knock em down there and win some new converts!

Adam Kolkin, who played Young Kurt in Grilled Cheesus (Season 2 Episode 3 of Glee) and will be playing Young Carson in Chris Colfer's upcoming movie, Struck By Lightning, took this picture to show his support for the Allie the Ally project! You'll notice that Allie is laying on a pile of wristbands.
These wristbands are a part of a project Adam is doing to become an Eagle Scout! They say I "Heart" The Arts and he is selling them to renovate the girls' and boys' dressing rooms and adjoining bathrooms at his high school, Los Alamitos High School in Southern California.
Well, he has set up a Tumblr page with information on how to buy one (or more!) of these wristbands, or to just donate to the project!
Many of you seemed interested in purchasing these, so the link is adamkolkinproject.tumblr.com.
While you're at it, if you could also print out a copy of Allie and show your support for our project as well, it would be great!
Thanks for your support, Adam! :D

ESF | EMBO Symposia
EMBO and the European Science Foundation (ESF) co-fund ESF | EMBO Symposia, which bring together participants and experts from the life sciences and other scientific disciplines to discuss topics that are of major importance to the scientific community in Europe.
Annual application deadline: 1 October for symposia taking place at least 18 months later.
The topics should be at the forefront of scientific research and should be interdisciplinary. ESF | EMBO Symposia concentrate on topics that are at the interface between life sciences (ensuring that 'molecular aspects' are covered) and other related science disciplines, such as: molecular biology, chemistry, physics, computer sciences, mathematical modelling, space science, clinical medicine, engineering, environmental science, humanities and social sciences.
Venue and Dates
ESF | EMBO Symposia take place in Pułtusk near Warsaw, Poland. The symposia may be held between March and December, but the summer months of July and August are not recommended. The typical duration of a symposium is five nights, including four full conference days. Participants will normally arrive on a Saturday afternoon, and depart on Thursday after breakfast. When submitting a proposal for a symposium, the desired dates should be indicated.
Logistical arrangements
The Chair (or the Co-chairs) will be responsible for developing the scientific programme for the symposium, and a small organizing committee may assist them.
The Chair and the organizing committee only have to undertake the scientific aspects of the symposium organization. This includes any decisions on financial support for invited speakers and other participants. However, it is recommended that the Chair seeks additional sponsorship from other sources, and they should advise ESF which organization(s) they intend to approach. All other organizational tasks and logistics will be the responsibility of the ESF Conferences Unit, working in close co-operation with EMBO. An ESF Conference Officer will be assigned to each symposium. His/her tasks will include all the administrative arrangements at the venues, publicizing the symposium, financial and budgetary matters, the processing of applications, communicating with participants and speakers, making payments and collecting fees.
The ESF Conferences Unit will also finalize all on-site administrative arrangements. A conference officer will be present for the duration of the symposium to take care of registration, travel payments and to oversee the local administrative organization. Owing to the size of the events, Chairs are encouraged to provide an assistant or young researcher to help at the registration desk, and to be responsible for the organization of the poster sessions and/or other on-site scientific aspects.
The symposia feature lectures by invited leading scientists followed by time for extensive discussion. An informal exchange of ideas, both inside and outside the lecture room is encouraged, and the number of sessions in the daily timetable is limited in order to facilitate this. In addition to the 5 – 6 hours per day of lecture room activities, poster sessions, round-table discussions or discussion groups are organized. One afternoon is usually kept free of lectures in order to allow time for leisure activities, or the lunch periods can be extended.
One evening should be reserved for a 'Forward Look Plenary Discussion' about future developments in the field. The format of this discussion can be provided by ESF.
In order to encourage speakers to present their latest results and ideas, which may not yet be fully explored and ready for publication, no written papers are requested. The publication of selected papers may be prepared as proceedings and approved by the Chair after the symposium. This is subject to the agreement of the speakers concerned.
Participants will eat all their meals together to encourage further contact and networking. In order to gain optimum benefit from the symposium, both speakers and participants are expected to stay for the whole duration of the symposium.
When selecting speakers and participants, organizers are requested to ensure a wide geographical representation with a recommended ratio of about two-thirds European participation to one-third non-European. ESF | EMBO Symposia usually have between 80 to 150 participants. Special attention should also be paid to the involvement of younger applicants and those from developing countries, and over-representation of scientists from the host country should be avoided. Moreover, the gender balance should be taken into consideration.
Scientists working for private industry should be judged on an equal footing with those from universities. If scientists working for industry are invited as speakers, the additional fee will not be levied.
Poster sessions
Poster sessions are a very important feature of ESF|EMBO Symposia. Ideally, the venue for the poster session would be located close to the main meeting room and will be large and bright enough to host such an event. Moreover, a social event may be incorporated into the symposium. The following factors should also be considered:
- each participant should give a one-slide presentation about the contents of his/her poster contribution at the beginning of the scheduled poster discussion sessions;
- sufficient time should be allowed for posters to be viewed, ideally throughout the entire meeting.
The maximum funding available for an ESF | EMBO Symposium is €30,000. The grant available from ESF and EMBO will normally be used to meet the expenses of the invited speakers and selected young scientists. Experience shows that it is often possible for speakers to obtain some of their travel costs from other sources, if the sponsor offers partial support. It is expected that participants (other than the speakers) will pay for their travel, accommodation, subsistence and a modest registration fee.
Management of the grant
The ESF Conferences Unit, in close consultation with EMBO and the Chair, will manage the grant. ESF will be responsible for all payments.
Registration fees:
- may be charged between €200 – 300 per participant (excluding accommodation);
- may be charged up to €500 for participants from industry (excluding accommodation);
- must be all inclusive (full board & lodging, meeting facilities for the duration of the meeting, a social programme, and group bus transfers);
- should be paid directly to ESF (an online fee payment facility will be available);
- Editorial staff of scientific journals may attend the symposium without paying the higher fee, provided that the organizer(s) agree to their participation, and they guarantee to publish a report of the symposium in their journal (subject to the prior agreement of the Chair).
It is a condition of funding that the Chair submits a scientific report after the symposium in the following format:
- An introduction (up to two pages) on the topic in non-specialist terms.
- Scientific content of the symposium:
- a summary of the sessions focusing on the scientific highlights;
- an assessment of the results and their potential impact on future research or applications.
- 'Forward Look Plenary Discussion':
- State-of-the-art in the field;
- Emerging topics;
- Visions for the future of the research field – identification of issues expected to be of relevance in the 5 – 10 years time;
- Is there a need for a foresight-type initiative?
- The reaction of the participants to the location and the organization, including networking, and any other relevant comments.
The reports should be sent to ESF no later than six weeks after the end of the symposium. The reports will be forwarded to the appropriate ESF Standing Committees and Expert Committees for information and consideration in their science policy discussions and to the EMBO Courses & Workshops office. The introduction may be posted on a 'Conference Highlights' page within the ESF Conferences website (subject to the explicit authorization of the author).
Advertising & co-funding
The symposia must be entitled "ESF | EMBO Symposium". All materials must include the EMBO logo and ESF logo prominently (co-sponsorship may be acknowledged). ESF and EMBO do not usually favour co-sponsorship that requires proceedings to be published. There should be no confidential information disclosed. Eventual IPR or copyright are the property of all participants contributing financially or intellectually to the Symposium.
ESF and EMBO will be responsible for the publicity of each symposium, and for disseminating information to potential applicants. ESF and EMBO will publicize the symposia on the EMBO poster, EMBO and ESF website, social media channels and through selected mailing lists, partner organizations and other print and online media.
In addition, it is very important that Chairs provide a comprehensive emailing list for poster circulation.
As soon as it is agreed to go ahead with the symposium, Chairs will be expected to email the ESF Conferences Unit with the following documents in order to advertise the event:
- the preliminary scientific programme, including a paragraph about the scope of the symposium, the list of topics to be covered, the list of confirmed invited speakers with their affiliations and the titles of their lecturesthe full address and email list of the invited speakers;
- a comprehensive, geographically-balanced email list of all potentially interested scientists;
- a list of scientific journals or reviews and their websites for publicity and free inserts in calendars of events.
1 October for symposia taking place at least 18 months later.

I am just about to launch my site. I am launching it completely ad free. I am doing this for a few reasons. First, the site looks cleaner. Second, people may be more inclined to use the site if there aren't flashing ads coming at them. Third, who would advertise on a site with little traffic.
My question is, what would be a good benchmark for traffic to a site before I should start putting ads on the site. 100 view per month seems really low, 1,000,000 seems really high. Is there any links to studies, companies requirements, personal experiences you can recommend?

Went here for anniversary dinner. The food was excellent! The lamb appetizer was delicious. The whitefish was one of best fish dishes I have had. My wife had the gnocchi it was fresh and tasted like made in house.
My girlfriend and I dined at Topaz last week. We requested a seat on the patio because had only heard amazing things. It was beautiful. Right off the bat, Dave was very impressive with his wine and appetizer suggestions. We really enjoyed the wine that he chose for us and the decanter that was placed on the table was a nice touch. We decided to order the food that he suggested and everything was delicious. Definitely will recommend. Food was fantastic - The Chef really knows what he is doing, the restaurant/patio is beautiful and our server was excellent! Thanks you Dave! We will be back!
It is hard to find anything but positives about lunch at Topaz. Food, service,and ambiance are all top notch. Outdoors or indoors the lunch experience is first class and we love that our tendency to linger and talk is not challenged or discouraged in anyway. Whether for business or personal dining, lunch at Topaz is a winner.
We love to eat outdoors at this restaurant. Large space, covered, noise level tolerable- definite return. Waiter was very attentive. Fish and short ribs were very tasty. Only disappointment was the beet salad. Beet slices to large and salad needs more taste pizazz.
I was there for lunch with two friends. The food was awesome, the waiter very knowledgable about the menu and helped us make great choices. We ate on the terrace and the ambiance was delightful. Can't wait to go back for dinner!
We are regulars at Topaz, and its older sister, Amber. This outing, with friends, met expectations. We all were pleased with the food and service, as well as the ambiance on the terrace.
I absolutely love the outdoor patio at Topaz, The ambiance is fantastic. Food and service are always superior!!
This is a great (not just good) place to go for all occasions. The food is consistently great. Well trained and helpful staff. Look for their seasonal specials. Insider tip....go for dinner on Sundays and bring your favorite bottle of wine (no corkage fee on Sunday). Covered patio with ceiling fans and heat lamps when necessary extend the outdoor eating seasons.
Service was very good. Although our server was busy, he was attentive for the most part. The food was inventive and somewhat unique. Some exciting flavor combinations; some not to our liking. But overall, the food quality was quite good.
We had a wonderful time at Topaz with good food and great service .
Excellent service, interesting menu even if food is not always spot on.
The menu is not overwhelming. Whatever you choose will be well prepared and plated. It's a comfortable atmosphere whether you are inside or out on the extended patio. Service is inconsistent.
Food was very good and our server was excellent. Made recommendations that were spot on and noticed that we were celebrating a birthday because one of our guests brought a gift. Dessert for the birthday person was on the house. Will definitely return.
Topaz continues to be one of the best restaurants in the western and southwestern suburbs of Chicago, if not THE best. The food is consistently excellent with a varied menu. Service is top notch, and the staff is uniformly welcoming and friendly without any of the snobbery sometimes found in the city restaurants.
Topaz has an outdoor area that is beautiful and functional. We enjoyed a delicious salad, burger and entree for lunch. Plus there was pistachio gelato for dessert...what could be better than that?
I chose Topaz for lunch because I was with a friend who was grieving and I know we would be well taken care of. Her appetite is not good, but she truly enjoyed the food at Topaz. It is always delicious and beautifully presented.
We had a group of 6 for a Friday evening. We had reserved patio seating, but clearly the heavy rainstorm nullified that. However, we were seated in a back room that was nice, but rather cold. There was a brief mix-up with our seating arrangements as 2 in our party were seated, with the other 4 of us waiting for them in the bar. After about 10-15 minutes, we found each other by text. At any rate, the service was solid, if not great. It seemed a bit muttled, with the server and the helpers not quite in sync on delivery of drinks and food. For example, helpers brought out bread before plates were set out. The good news is that food, which is always the star at Topaz, did not disappoint. Not our best night at Topaz, but pleasant nevertheless.
We were a group of 12, everyone enjoyed everything but music was so loud you could hardly hear the person next to you. We did not stay long. Would have loved to have dessert or another drink and visit with friends. Music should have been at Bar side not were people are dining.
First time at this restaurant and would definitely recommend. Food, service and ambience was top notch. Our table enjoyed the halibut, pasta and chicken dishes and everyone was delighted. Outdoor patio is definitely worth requesting when booking a reservation - it is an upscale patio with a bar and had a small trio playing music on the Saturday night we went. Looking forward to a return visit.
It's just always really good. We have never been disappointed.
My husband and I had a very nice experience at this restaurant. The food was fantastic and the staff...I just can't say enough positive things! We sat outside on the deck complete with heaters and a wonderful guitar duo. Very romantic and an evening we won't soon forget! Thank you Topaz! :-)
I have been to Topaz several times, with consistently good food & service. The outdoor patio is quite charming with very attractive decor. The menu is very nice, with balanced selections. I look forward to dining at Topaz again soon.
Terrific calamari! The fish was prepared perfectly. I met two of my best friends there and we had an awesome time!
After dark at Topaz the outdoor area is enchanting with the firepits going and the lovely lighting. We thoroughly enjoyed dining out there Saturday night. The food was good as usual but the ambiance was magical.
Everyone in our party of six was pleased. Fall menu specials were delicious. Beautifil desserts.
topaz is consistent, great food, great service, and wonderful atmosphere. especially love their round table for a group of 6 - 8. makes conservation so much nicer. good job topaz. another great night.
Cindy was our server and she is always nothing short of fabulous! Branko even popped in our booth for a quick visit..that was fun ; ) I had Fluke fish for the first time and really really enjoyed. Our experience was great and Topaz remains at the top of my dining list.
Everything about Topaz is luxurious. My husband and I had a romantic dinner at sunset and stayed several hours to just take in the quiet, romantic atmosphere (parents of toddlers, can you tell?) We started with creative and delicious cocktails, had wonderful dinners (highly recommend the scallops and the lamb chops) accompanied by truly quality wine at a reasonable by-the-glass price. The wait staff was so polished without being uncomfortably stuffy, and hit the right balance of checking on us and giving us time when we sat and chatted over coffee before indulging in dessert hours after we first arrived. The outdoor seating was so beautiful, it transports you from the suburbs to somewhere much more decadent feeling. I highly recommend.
We meet monthly with a group of college friends. It's always risky to be the one picking the restaurant with this group. Topaz did not let me down and the experience was perfect for us to spend hours catching up, eating, drinking and laughimg!
We went here for a special occasion. We made a reservation and was seated within a minute of arriving. The host was able to accomodate our request for a booth with the manager. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious! Great experience, we will be dining here again :)
Took the "Love of my life" here for dinner on Sweetest Day. Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we entered till the moment we left. Gustavo was our server, and he was positively magnificent. We both ordered the salmon, it was wonderful!!! This establishment totally has it together, and I can be very critical. To sum it up, I like perfection, and this dining experience was just that.
What I like about Topaz is that one can have a conversation and not have to yell or talk above the noise. Granted, we were dining on a Sunday, but it was almost full, with larger parties in separate rooms. Everything was delightful. Will continue to dine here. I live in Burr Ridge and find this restaurant very relaxing and the food is always spot on.
They are close to our home so we go almost every week (sometimes twice). Food is always fantastic. That night I had the best pork chop of my life. The chef, Andrew, indicated that he specified the cut of pork that he uses to get the juicier section. He got it right! You will not be disappointed.
Went to the restaurant for my Daughters anniversary. Everything about the restaurant was great. The food was fantastic from the Hors d'œuvre to dessert. What made everything complete was the service from the hostess to our server. My daughter and her husband really enjoyed spending time at this restaurant.
Topaz is a good restaurant. My salmon was prepared well, and I enjoyed the meatball appetizer. My whiskey smash was a surprisingly good drink, as well. Give this place a try.
I love this place. Wonderful service, food and staff.
first tme there-enjoyed the scallops and soup. veal scallopini special was also good. nice presentation. this is an adult restaurant, not suited for children.service was impeccable. beignets were creative and delicious. we'll be back.
Meeting up with dear friends, excellent food (short rib risotto appetizer, scallops), outstanding service all around - what more could you ask for?!
Always a warm welcome and attentive staff. A pleasure from entry to exit!!!
The restaurant changes its menu at least 2x a year if not more. Each menu offering unusual combinations for appetizers, soups and main courses. The manager also adds a lot to the restaurant - very friendly and professional! I never tire of the place!
This was an exceptional buffet. For Thanksgiving the spread was just right. Plenty of choices to partake. All items that I had were exceptional. A moist turkey made to perfection. I will definitely go back.
So, we did the Thanksgiving buffet for I believe our third year in a row. As always, it was fantastic! The turkey, sweet potatoes with marshmallows and walnuts, ham, wild rice salad, squash ravioli (some of the highlights) were all A+++. I had a noon reservation and didn't eat a single bit more for the rest of the day!
Great place. We love Topaz. First time we took our kids for my daughters sweet 16. Everyone loved it.
We enjoyed a wonderful family dinner at Topaz. Everyone loved their food and we all indulged in either the homemade gelato or a lovely dessert. The pork tenderloin special was delightful. Others enjoyed the Flat Iron Steak, Short Ribs, and Scallop entrees. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was efficient but not very friendly and at times seemed burdened at our extra requests.
Hidden gem just minutes from my home. Worth a drive though!
We arrived around noon and the restaurant was bustling but also very calm and quiet. We came here with the intention of celebrating my mother's 83rd birthday and it was wonderful how the waiter was able to accommodate her little quirks with demanding fresh decaf coffee and allowing her to order the dinner menue scallops. Wonderful salads, too, and my cousin ordered the lobster roll which is what I will order next time for lunch!
Whenever family comes to visit we take them here. Also, for special events such as engagement, birthdays etc. No matter how long between intervals, the wait staff and manager are superb and treat us as if welcoming us home. All of their dishes that we have tried are superb. For appetizers, try the grilled octopus, 1/2 order of the risotto of the day, and/or any of their seasonal offerings. Soup of the day is usually extremely delicious. Favorite main dishes are short ribs, flat-iron steak. lamb chops and black ink seafood linguine. The bread pudding is the best we have ever tasted. We have our favorite restaurants in downtown Chicago as well, but Topaz certainly gives them a run for the money and costs less!
Whenever my husband and I get a night out, this is our go-to restaurant. The service is like no other and the food is delicious. The innovative and ever-changing menu always keeps us interested. In the summertime, the outdoor patio can't be beat. Many times we've been lucky enough to be there on a night when there is live music. In the wintertime, it's cozy and inviting in the dining room. Don't miss this gem!
There were 7 of us and the service was spot on. They offered a 50% off wine list our night so the bar bill was very reasonable. The bone-in fillet was delicious but a small serving compared to the Chicago steak houses - although I am unaware of the plate cost for it verses the pricey downtown chop houses. I had a skirt steak dinner per reviews that I had read beforehand and it was delicious and a perfect portion for me (woman). We had one notable appetizer involving pork meatballs in a tasty thick gravy. The only critical thing I can say is not a great menu for younger kids but the waiter went off menu and recommended a pasta/chicken dish for my younger daughter. A sophisticated kids menu would be a good recommendation for the restaurant.
We really enjoy Topaz. Great service with attention to detail. Very personable waitstaff and management. These guys really know what they are doing.

I'm not necessarily looking for an art book, but just something that shows me the design language of different species so I'm not going to paint the same blobby plants over and over, but rather will get some more unique and interesting shapes/silhouettes and textures that are more grounded on reality.

Jessica Fairley is a reporter with FOX 31 News
ALBANY, GA. -- The lack of knowledge is often linked to poverty and statistics show that in southwest Georgia, both issues are a problem.
Strive 2 Thrive is set up to help families find their way out but sometimes not having an education holds them back.
This is why local volunteers are joining in the fight.
Before joining up with Strive to Thrive educator Wanda Mallard wanted to give back but didn't know where to start.
After realizing her talents could stretch farther than the classroom, she reached out.
"God gave me the gift of being able to educate somebody or make a difference in someone's life, and well that's just what I'm going to do," said Teacher and Strive 2 Thrive Education Volunteer Wanda Mallard.
And so she is volunteering with the non-profit organization to help families get a hand up on education - all while stamping out poverty.
The director of Strive 2 Thrive is grateful for people like Mallard.
"They brought materials that they've used in the past and pulled information from the internet to help our families," said Strive 2 Thrive Director Ausha Jackson.
Many of the families are struggling to find work because now even basic level jobs require either a GED or a high school diploma.
This is why volunteers are tutoring participants in English and math; to help them get through the GED.
"When they take the exam, they can feel confident that they will pass successfully and go on to obtain a job," said Jackson.
Not only do families get something out of the experience but volunteers learn a lesson also.
"You get to share in the life, in a real way, with the person that before Strive 2 Thrive I knew nothing about," said Mallard.
This sharing gives her the privilege and honor of making a difference in someone's life.
Anyone interested in volunteering with the non-profit organization, Strive 2 Thrive, can contact the director at her office located at 225 West Broad Avenue in Downtown Albany.
Ausha Jackson or another representative for the program can be reached at 229-434-8700.

Java developers have many remarkably-similar choices for building web applications. Play! is a breath of fresh air, blending the power of Scala's strong type system and functional programming model with a rock-solid Java API that makes it easy to hit the ground running. With Play!, you can leverage your existing knowledge of Java to build stateless, event-driven, browser-based applications ready to deploy against your existing infrastructure or in environments where you can't use JEE.
Play for Java shows you how to build Java-based web applications using the Play! 2 framework. This book starts by introducing Play! through a comprehensive overview example. Then, you'll look at each facet of a typical Play! application both by exploring simple code snippets and by adding to a larger running example. Along the way, you'll contrast Play! and JEE patterns and learn how a stateless web application can fit seamlessly in an enterprise environment. You'll also learn how a little Scala can go a long way in creating tight, efficient Java applications.
- Building Play! 2 applications using java
- Leveraging your JEE skills for stateless, browser-based apps
- Integrating Play! into a JEE environment
- Deploying to Cloud providers like Heroku
Written for developers familiar with Java. No Play! or Scala experience is needed.
About the Author
Nicolas Leroux is Technical Director at Lunatech Research in The Netherlands and is a core developer of Play! framework. Sietse de Kaper, also a software developer at Lunatech, has been developing and deploying Java-based Play! applications since Version 1.0.

Zulu, Docas Dudu; Tucker, William D. (Telkom, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper describes work in progress on call capacity optimization for voice over Internet Protocol on wireless mesh networks. In a developing country such as South Africa, evidence has shown that rural inhabitants find it difficult to afford the voice services offered by cellular networks. Voice over Internet Protocol is known for its affordability relative to cellular voice services, therefore deploying such services for rural communities will not only benefit rural inhabitants but also offer economic advantages to service providers. We are interested in the provision of voice services with rural wireless mesh networks. Unfortunately voice on mesh networks can experience packet loss and delays that cause reduction in voice quality. Transmission of small voice packets over wireless mesh networks imposes high overhead that leads to a tremendous decrease in call capacity. Therefore, we aim to study the performance of voice over 802.11 wireless mesh networks and evaluate packet aggregation mechanisms that merge small voice packets into a single large packet, in order to preserve voice quality with more calls. We will implement and evaluate packet aggregations mechanisms on a 'mesh potato' network with iterative cycles of laboratory experiments using a network simulator to collect data for performance evaluation.

Abstract: This paper reports on three years of research and fieldwork with a rural wireless Internet Protocol communication project. We built a long-range WiFi network and custom communication software to support a rural telehealth project in the remote Eastern Cape. We report on our work using cellular networks, devices and applications as reference technologies because our users and beneficiaries are very comfortable with them. Of most concern are the technological and contextual issues affecting take up of the systems we designed. The paper intends to provide a summary analysis of our experience so that others in the field can learn from our successes and mistakes with respect to rural Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) in a South African context.

Abstract: This paper presents a fully decentralised peer-topeer voice communication tool intended for use across mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) by distributed groups who desired collaboration. We examined the synergy between MANETs and peer-to-peer virtual overlay networks which allowed the creation of ad hoc applications. One style of communication considered suitable for task oriented distributed group collaboration was push-to-talk. This research was focused on providing a push-to-talk communication platform suitable for deployment across MANETs. The research methodology employed was a proof of concept approach within a classical experimental computer science paradigm. We developed a prototype which used JXTA, a peer-to-peer virtual overlay network, to provide push-to-talk functionality across MANETs. Guaranteed delivery of messages was provided via a peer-to-peer voicemail delivery system. While the system did what intended we show that JXTA had a problem with the efficient delivery of voice samples. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/508 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper describes work in progress towards developing a business case and preliminary design for an 802.11-based mesh network in the remote rural community of Mankosi in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Aside from the technical challenges to building the network to be sustainable in the long term, this network needs to generate some revenue. Hence, there needs to be a business model that has revenue generation potential. This study will explore the economical and social aspects of voice over Internet- Protocol as a service for this community. After talking to the village leaders, we learned that there is a demand for telecommunication services and that most of them were interested only in telephony service. Very few villagers were interested in or had any knowledge about the Internet. We also learned that most of their cellular phone calls are local within the Mankosi community. This allows us to deploy an experimental local telephony service; a perfect opportunity for a low-cost and lowcosting inverse mesh infrastructure that can easily be connected to breakout and Internet services in the future.

Abstract: Rural areas in South Africa have unique conditions such as remoteness and scarcity of reliable public facilities. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) introduced into these areas must be suitable for these conditions. Using a user-centred design approach based on Participatory Design and Action Research, we have developed a telemedicine application for a rural village in the Eastern Cape. This paper describes how we determined the requirements and design for the application and why we chose Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) combined with a store and forward approach to achieve our telemedicine goals. We present an overview of the methodology we are using, describe the software application we have developed and mention several challenges we have faced to date. Finally we conclude that VoIP and store and forward technologies are appropriate to the South African rural situation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/621 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: There is a great disparity between those who have access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and those that do not. This phenomenon forms part of the Digital Divide. Many ICTs may be used to help overcome this divide if they are applied in a useful way, providing locally applicable content and services. Critical Action Research (CAR) is an approach used to develop such applications. CAR aims to empower people by involving them in the development process. Using CAR, this project investigates how Voice over IP (VoIP) may be applied in a productive way in an underserviced community. VoIP is an ICT used for sending voice over packet switched networks using Internet Protocol. It can be used to integrate data and voice to produce multimedia applications. In South Africa (SA), VoIP may only be provided by Telkom, the Second National Operator and the Under-Serviced Area Licensees. Using CAR and VoIP, an application is being developed to service a specific need of a particular rural community. The application will either provide a service to a small rural business or aid the provision of healthcare in rural areas. The project evaluates how well CAR integrates with a normal Software Development Lifecycle and makes policy recommendations for the use of VoIP in rural SA.

The key is not to use the standard doors and drawer faces that IKEA supplies, but instead swap them for any other panels you might like. I only used the cabinet frames and the hardware required for the drawers and the adjustable legs for the base cabinets — the total amount spent at Ikea was less than $400. The material used for the faces is from Italy, the same material used by B&B Italia and Poliform. There are many suppliers now that import that material into this country. It's possible now to get 4'x8' sheets for less than $100, and you can do an entire kitchen with two or three sheets; the trick is finding some local wood shop to apply the edge tape and drill the doors for you.
Thanks for the hint, Ian! The kitchen looks great! You can see more of Ian's projects on his website, INC Interiors.

Human skull dating back 5,000 years found in Worcestershire
3:55pm Thursday 29th August 2013 in News By Ian Craig
AN UNUSUAL discovery during a routine dog walk has been found to be one of the oldest remains ever found in Worcestershire.
Martin Evans from Drakes Broughton was walking his dogs near the River Avon in Eckington in March when he uncovered a human skull.
He called police who referred the find to Worcestershire Archaeology, who began an investigation.
After a single bone sample was extracted from the right parietal bone by the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre's radiocarbon dating laboratory, the skull – which appears to be from a female due to its shape – was traced back to between 3338 and 3025 BC, the Middle Neolithic period.
Mr Evans said finding the skull was "quite a shock".
"At first it looked like a ball buried in the sand but when I washed the sand off, it was quite clear it was a human skull," he said.
"It's very well preserved and there's quite a large amount of detail for something so old."
Neolithic human remains have only been found in Worcestershire once before, during excavations at Wormington Farm near Aston Somerville, but this is not the first skull to have been found on the banks of the River Avon – another was found near Nafford Weir after a flood.
Worcestershire County Council's senior environmental archaeologist for palynology Nock Daffern described the find as "fantastic".
"To find some of the oldest human remains ever discovered in Worcestershire by chance is incredible, he said.
"It just goes to show that archaeology can be found absolutely everywhere.
"I would like to thank Martin for having such sharp eyes and to West Mercia Police, particularly Detective Sergeant Jim Bayliss, for involving me in what has turned out to be a fascinating case."
Once investigations have finished the skull will be handed over to Worcestershire Museums Service to go on display at either Hartlebury Museum or the Almonry Museum in Evesham.

Recent Advances and Trends in Nonparametric Statistics
By- M.G. Akritas
- D.N. Politis
The advent of high-speed, affordable computers in the last two decades has given a new boost to the nonparametric way of thinking. Classical nonparametric procedures, such as function smoothing, suddenly lost their abstract flavour as they became practically implementable. In addition, many previously unthinkable possibilities became mainstream; prime examples include the bootstrap and resampling methods, wavelets and nonlinear smoothers, graphical methods, data mining, bioinformatics, as well as the more recent algorithmic approaches such as bagging and boosting. This volume is a collection of short articles - most of which having a review component - describing the state-of-the art of Nonparametric Statistics at the beginning of a new millennium.
Key features:
• algorithic approaches
• wavelets and nonlinear smoothers
• graphical methods and data mining
• biostatistics and bioinformatics
• bagging and boosting
• support vector machines
• resampling methods

There are plenty of scammers out there eager to overcharge you for information you can get yourself for free or minimal cost.
The state's attorney general, Martha Coakley, has issued a warning about one such con: getting homeowners to fork over $50 to $90 for a copy of a deed.
In fact, most homeowners get a copy of the deed at their real estate closing. Or you can go to the Registry of Deeds online or in person to get one for free or a nominal charge.
If you've already been the victim of this "deed collection services" flim-flam, here's how to contact the attorney general's office to file a complaint.

Rating: 4.50 out of 2 votes cast
Nice Spring top
I love the colors and the style is very flattering. The material is very light weight. I like that it has a short sleeve which I like for spring. Beware it does run rather long and if is very fitted from the underwire down. I bought the Tulip skirt and it didn't look right because the top was too fitted. But this looks great with skinny jeans, leggings or crop pants. Gave it 4 stars because of the quality of the material. I think it will only last one season.
Braintree, MA
Vibrant Colors
I love this blouse the moment I tried it on. The colors are so beautiful and I look good in it coming and going because it hugs every curve. The style of the blouse clings in the front and enhances all the right areas.I brought the cobalt jeans to wear with it and they match nicely.The outfit looks better on me than the picture in the catalog.

First of all, the bible explicitly calls those who break the laws of the land sinners (see Romans 13:1-7), so support for those who have knowingly broken the law (i.e. illegal immigrants) is a sin in and of itself. Secondly, since abortion is basically murder in the eyes of the church there is really no choice in the matter. The democrats have explicitly positioned themselves as the "pro-abortion" party, they are not simply "tolerating" it any more, they are actively working to make abortions easier to obtain, even forcing religious organizations to pay for the operation even though it is a deadly sin. Therefore, a Catholic who is sympathetic to the plight of illegal immigrants really has only one possible choice that will leave him or her with a clear conscious: vote Republican and then put political pressure upon the Republican party to implement immigration reform. To vote democrat at this point is a vote in favor of abortion and sin.
@maxonepercent First of all, please drop the "i" word, the correct word is undocumented. The word "illegal" dehumanizes them. And the U.S.'s international economic policies have taken the jobs and the money from the people in other countries. They are desperate people and would do anything to survive. Seeking survival is not a sin. And breaking an unjust law, such as the present immigration law, which was created by xenophobes and racists to keep people of lesser economic status and people of color out, is not wrong. What we need is a pro-life democrat and a pro-immigration republican running for president. So I say vote third party.
@theband12 They are not "undocumented", that term implies that they are some how eligible for "documentation" which is false. Regardless of their motivations, they have committed an illegal act by immigrating to this country without the authorization to do so, that makes them "illegal immigrants". Following your skewed logic we should start calling burglars "undocumented tenants" and car thieves "undocumented car owners".
Secondly, the idea that these people are somehow "economic victims" is asinine. If they are so poor how is it that they manage to come up with thousands of dollars to pay coyotes to sneak them into our country? It is not like they are starving either. Moreover, what about the "economic victims" in our own country? Ten percent of American-born citizens are out of work right now, another 10% are underemployed. Why should the economic interests of these illegal immigrants be put ahead of the economic interests of our own citizens? What "economic policies" are you referring to exactly? NAFTA cost the US more jobs than it did Mexico, and their government was every bit as complicit in that travesty as was ours, so I don't see why the typical working-class American citizen should have to shoulder the blame.
