Feng Shui Guidelines for Rooms - Part I
The chi enters a house through its doors and windows, but mainly through the main door, known as the 'kou', meaning mouth. The chi must be able to curve and wander through the hall in a meanderitng fashion, not just rush through and be wasted or lie in stagnant pools, losing its goodness. Auspicious Feng Shui halls are fairly wide and so let the chi move in gently and then allow it to circulate slowly throughout the property. So that the chi can move freely, the hall should be well lit, have no clutter, not be over furnished, especially with angular, sharp edged furniture. A hallway can be a good place for windchimes, bells, frog and fish ornaments and the Blue Carp, a blue coloured ceramic fish which is hollow, to be filled with uncooked rice, and placed facing the door to show any visitors that this home has prosperity.
This balance should be reflected in the lighting used and also through the colours of the walls, pictures, ornaments and carpets. No one element should be allowed to dominate. Depending on the Pa Kua direction, it is important to bring in the other elements.
When a hall seems dark and shadowy, it may be necessary to bring in slightly stronger colours, so that it becomes a bit more yang, but the colours should never be too strong as you do not want yang to dominate. If the hall is left dark, then the hall will remain very yin, also a problem, because the chi would tend to become lazy and staid! Rugs, carpets and doormats can be used to introduce 'friendly' elements both in colour and shape. I also recommend that
three Chinese coins
, tied together with a red ribbon, Yang side up [4 bits of writing!] are placed under the mat for general good fortune. Pound coins can be used, but cannot be tied together. They should be placed, Heads side up, which is yang.
To help good chi into the house, bright lights just inside and just outside the front door are excellent. These can be left on during the hours of darkness. The on/off security lights are not effective for the attraction of chi, as a constant light is needed.
Once the chi is in the property, it begins to flow through the passageways and rooms like a slowly winding stream. This flow must be steady, never stagnating, never rushing. If you imagine a gorge through which a strong river flows extremely fast, this is the effect which a long narrow hallway or corridor has on chi. The goodness of the chi cannot settle and be used, it rushes straight through and so is wasted, especially if there are three doors in a row, including the front door. Even worse is when there are three doors and two of them are the front door and the back door.The classic way of preventing this rushing chi, this 'gorge and rapids 'effect happening is by using the 'aspirin of Feng Shui'----
the mirror
. Mirrors can be placed alternately along the passageway to help the chi to curve and bounce from them instead of just rushing through. The mirrors can be quite small but should not cut off the heads of any adults in the property.
can also be used to moderate flows of chi, and sometimes if there is an appropriate small window in the hallway, it can be opened to help the chi. This must be used carefully, as security should be a consideration. It is no good getting the right chi flow, if all your possessions are stolen becuase you forgot to close a window when you'popped' to the the shops!!!!!
Broadleafed plants
are useful as an enhancement of chi, especially in dark alcoves and the sharp edges of alcoves. A few plants placed alternately along a hall, especially broad leafed plants, will help to nurture the goodness in the chi. All the above can be reversed to a certain extent if you think that the hallway is too huge and wide. The chi will stagnate in a wide hall and needs pushing along a little. Also remember, windchimes MODERATE, crystals ENERGISE, so hanging
faceted spherical quartz crystals
along a wide hall would move the chi. What I have found to be even better is a small
crystal chandelier
Easily the worst kind of stairway are spiral ones. They look so pretty, but act as a waterfall for the chi--a Niagara Falls!It just flows down the stairs, between the stairs and is lost in a pool at the bottom. I generally advise using green silk material wound around the bannisters, so introducing Wood element, a mirror right underneath the bottom most step pointing upwards and green trailing plants alternately placed up the stairs themselves. A windchime can be placed at the bottom and the top of the staircase, which can also be beneficial. The other common problem is stairs which face the front door directly. What I normally recommend in this situation is, obviously, if possible, to move the door or the bottom of the stairs. If this cannot be done, a circular rug in the colour of the Pa Kua sector often helps, as does a windchime hanging between the door and the stairs to moderate the chi flow.
Living Room
A living room is just that---a room which has life. It is the room in which the family gather for various activities including TV watching and relaxing. Usually in this room, two or three sectors of the Pa Kua are involved which means decor needs to be closely monitored from one wall to another. The chi in a lounge/living room should be slightly balanced towards more yang--powerful,active energies. Any alcoves must be carefully enhanced, so that they do not become pools of stagnant chi with their edges becoming 'poison arrows'. Once again, broadleafed plants and mirrors, on protruding walls, can be very useful. Obviously then, the best kind of room, whatever its function in the property, is a regular shape, square or oblong, producing few corners and no missing areas, or alcoves. Alcoves usually mean stagnation and plants and mirrors, as well as crystals can serve to get the chi moving again. Remember, crystals energise, windchimes moderate. Windchimes can be useful near doorways into rooms,especially the living room.
The chi moving into the room then has chance to move around in a meandering fashion, through the placement of the furniture. It is best if the furniture placement resembles the shape of the Pa Kua, with the tai chi of the room left empty, apart perhaps for a very low coffee table. You can buy Pa Kua shaped, octagonal shaped coffee tables which are excellent Feng Shui.
Chairs and sofas should be positioned around the edgeof the room, none of them with their backs to the door is best. Try not to make the TV the centre of attention and depending on your personal Pa Kua number and best locations, you may wish to place yourself, or your most comfy chair in that best position for you. Yang energy should be encouraged in the living room, but it should not become dominating and harsh. No lights should be above people's heads directly and watch out for any 'poison arrows'created by angular shelves such as bookcases. Glass fronted shelves will solve the problem, as they will do with kitchen units. Also you could use trailing plants on the edges of shelves or simply move the books right forward to the edges of the shelves, thus disguising them.
three legged toad
ornament in the room [the Wealth God] is a good idea, as though it has just hopped into the room from the hall. This ornament need not be prominently displayed. It could sit under a coffee table, or on the floor near a chair, even in the South East sector of the room, the Wealth corner. Like ornaments or pictures of sailing ships [which also represent wealth coming into the property], have him facing into the house.
Any electrical items will energise the yang chi in whatever location they are put. TVs, stereos and indeed computers give out a great deal of electro magnetic energy. An amethyst crystal placed on top of these appliances will serve to soften this, if it is needed. Electrical items in the South West will benefit relationships, South East, wealth and accumulation of prosperity, North East, knowledge and learning, and so on, Career wise the North West and North are excellent locations for these appliances, bringing energy and movement into vital areas in the home.
As well as furniture and ornaments, pictures need to be considered carefully, in all rooms not just the living rooms. Any pictures should be pleasant and attractive, with no hunting scenes, lonely windswept moors with single figures or any with sad connections, such as 'Guernica'by Picasso! The colours in them as with the elements contained in any ornaments are very important to their Pa Kua location. For instance, landscapes representing theWood element would be good in the East and the South East, symbolising growth, whilst red should not be used in the West and North West------Fire and Metal do not get on!

Spotlight on Facebook's tax affairs
Filed under: Tax
The social networking giant paid £2.9 million of corporation tax - including less than £240,000 in Britain - last year despite making more than £800 million in overseas profits in 2011, according to The Sunday Times.
It is understood Facebook uses its Irish subsidiary, which is the group's overseas headquarters, to sidestep tax authorities in the UK and other major markets in similar legal tactics used by Google and Apple.
Starbucks announced an unprecedented move earlier this month to calm mounting public anger over its tax avoidance in the UK, agreeing to pay around £10 million in British corporation tax in each of the next two years.
Facebook was not immediately available for comment, but is believed to have moved £440 million to a separate sister company in Ireland in 2011, which then shuffled the cash into a division in the Cayman Islands - an offshore tax haven.
While it reportedly paid £2.9 million in overseas corporation tax, the group makes significant earnings from outside America, with around 44% of revenues coming from overseas markets. The group has nearly a billion users worldwide.
Chancellor George Osborne said the Government was getting tough on corporate tax avoidance in his Autumn Statement earlier this month. He said more resources were being put into ensuring multinational companies "pay their proper share of taxes".
A Facebook spokeswoman said: "Facebook complies with all relevant corporate regulations including those related to filing company reports and taxation."
The group added it chose to base its international HQ in Ireland as it was the "best location to hire staff with the right skills to run a multi-lingual hi-tech operation serving the whole of Europe".

Not a Tame Lion, part 1
Post: #1
Not a Tame Lion, part 1
I resisted posting an introduction for a long time because it felt like a rule, and I've had enough of rules. Have you heard of the vomit theory of friendship? In a nutshell, it's the idea that you can tell your life story to someone you just met, and be BFF, kindred spirits, or whatever. Yeah. Spilling your guts is every bit as charming as it sounds.
So here is part 1 of my story. It's way too long, but much shorter than what I left out. Don't feel obligated to read it. Maybe one of these days, I'll get around to writing part 2. Not a Tame Lion, part 1 I grew up in a deeply religious family, although they would have denied being religious, because in the Baptist church we attended, as in others like it, "religion" was a bad word. "I'm not religious," we learned to say, "I just love the Lord." We didn't repeat prayers out of a book. That would be "vain repetition as the heathen." Even repeating the Lord's prayer didn't count as a "real" prayer. We learned that Jesus gave it to us as a sort of outline for making up our own prayers, but didn't mean for us to literally repeat His words as our own. I guess that would be plaigarisim. We crafted our heartfelt prayers on the fly, which made them real, although they did tend to follow the same patterns and be built from the same collection of stock phrases. "Tradition" was another bad word. We had a strong tradition of not having any traditions that we were aware of. We had certain ways of doing things; we did them that way over and over, with little variation, and woe to anyone who joined our group and tried to change them, but that's not the same thing. I remember being shocked the first time I visited a church that had Sunday School after the worship service. Can you do that? They didn't even take an offering. There was a box (padlocked, of course) by the door, and you dropped your offering through the slot in the top. After attending that church for several years, I happened to be out of town one Sunday morning, and visited another church. The pastor called some men up front, one of them said a money blessing, the organist played some mood music, and they circulated through the pews collecting money. After several years of not seeing that procedure, man, did it look tacky! We didn't have rituals either. Actually, we always said we didn't have empty rituals. Those words usually went together, and it was strongly implied that there was no other kind. We had baptism and the Lord's Supper because, well, because Jesus said to, and we did them very solemnly, like a funeral. But we went to great lengths to explain that they were only symbols, with no power in themselves. (We also went to great lengths to explain that when Jesus said wine, he didn't really mean wine, but grape juice, because wine contains alcohol, and we were convinced that drinking alcohol was a sin. And if Jesus drank wine, it was only because he didn't have the good fortune to be born in the days of refrigeration, so it was the best He could do. But He probably drank the weakest wine available.) Before partaking of either baptism or the Lord's Supper, you had to say the appropriate prayer, but the power wasn't in the words of the prayer, either, it was in somehow getting your heart right with God. Once you cleaned up your dirty mind and straightened up your crooked or slipshod ways, you could be filled with the Holy Spirit. After that, He'd be giving orders and so long as you followed them, well and good. When you didn't, He would make sure you felt terrible. Then you would have to go back and ask for an extension on your original forgiveness, and try again to shape up. We didn't have infant baptism, but we didn't call it adult baptism either; it was Believer's Baptism. You didn't have to be an adult; you just had to be old enough to believe.* Baptism didn't save you, believing did. Once you believed (remembering the exact time was considered good evidence, as was praying the Sinner's Prayer) then if you died that minute, that night, or a hundred years later, you were going to Heaven with no further preparation required. Once saved, always saved. But you really still ought to be baptized because, well, Jesus said to, and it was a "testimony"—sort of a commercial for being saved. We kind of overlooked the verses that say, "Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins." I "came forward" (another of our non-rituals) when I was very young. A man took me to a small room and led me in a prayer. I don't remember a lot of details, but he said if I didn't, I'd go be with the Devil, and I didn't want that. When we got home, I told my mom that I'd asked Jesus in my heart, and I was a Christian now. She was so happy, she cried. I was confused. Hadn't I done something good? I was four. The next day, I decided I wanted my sister to have Jesus in her heart, too. She was agreeable to the idea, so I prayed for her, and then went and told my mom that I had prayed for my sister and made her a Christian, too. Mom said it didn't work that way. Salvation and belief were equivalent, and considered a one-time event. So was baptism, unless you went to a church that did it wrong. Then you had to do it again to get it right. I figured I had the salvation thing taken care of, but I was not ready to be baptized. Have you seen how deep those baptistries are? They had a concrete block for little people to stand on, but what if the pastor dropped me? I decided there was no way I was going in that tank until I learned how to swim. I learned to swim when I was eight, but had to pinch my nose with one hand to keep the water out, so I could only swim in circles. The next year, I learned to swim a little better, but it took me yet another year to work up the nerve to get baptized. I was ten. So I was saved and baptized, and my past sins were forgiven. I probably could have coasted for a long time without thinking about sin if it weren't for Communion. In my church, to receive Communion, you had to be "saved". That meant you understood and believed that you were a sinner, Jesus died for your sins, and you accepted His forgiveness. You also had to understand what Communion represented. Baptism was not required. We had Communion once a month. Every time, the pastor would read 1 Corinthians 11:23-32. I especially took notice of verses 27-29: "Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body." I don't know about you, but I sin more than once a month. When I examine myself, I find it's a whole lot more. I was surprised how often I sinned. I had the mistaken impression that God was surprised, too. So I confessed my latest sins, and asked forgiveness. I knew God wiped out my past sins, but I thought then I could stop sinning. Or at least go longer between sins, and overcome them one by one. I found myself confessing the same sins over and over. I knew I only obtained forgiveness by the grace of God, but I felt as if I were required to reform on my own. I was failing miserably. I don't mean to say that my church's theology was really this confused, but this is how I understood it as a child. Then I happened to hear a sermon on the radio that explained something I think my church had been trying to teach, but I had somehow missed. It described three "levels" of Christian living, and identified them with three verses: 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I knew this verse. I would sin, then confess, and He would forgive. But I kept on sinning. 1 Corinthians 10:13 "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." So God actually limits the temptation to what we can handle, AND provides a way out? I'd had the impression that once He gave us a fresh start, we were sort of on probation, and required to make it the rest of the way on our own. But here He is, actually stacking the deck in our favor! Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." I'd heard this verse before, but this preacher explained something I hadn't understood: you can't stop sinning on your own. You don't have the strength. God's power is required to remove your old sins, and God's power is required to keep you from new sins. You're like a baby who can stand while holding on to something, but not walk on his own. You can continue circling the coffee table all day, but if you want to go anywhere, you have to reach out for His hand. Holding His hand, you can walk, but the minute you let go, you'll fall down. God is not disappointed that you need His hand every step of the way. He is not surprised when you fall down. In fact, He only lets you fall so you'll reach out for His hand. *Naturally, that age varied with the individual. If you died before you could understand "the plan of salvation" you went to Heaven anyway because you were below the "age of accountability" a concept that seems to have developed because no one wants to tell the grieving parents of a dead infant or toddler that their child went to Hell. (If ignorance is an excuse, why send missionaries? Well, because Jesus said to. That simplifies a lot of decisions.) I suspect that infant baptism arose for the same reason. What happens to children who die very young? I don't see any reason God couldn't give them a free pass, but I don't see an explicit promise in Scripture that He does. This is an emotional question for me because I have ten children who died before they were born. I don't have any easy answers. I'll trust that whatever God does is right, even if I don't know what that is, because that's all I can do.

RE: Not a Tame Lion, part 1
PB, that was a very convicting story because when my children were very young, that is how it was. By God's grace, we were able to see through most of the traditions and weak theology and read the bible with our children looking for ways to lead them without all the standard phrases and pet traditions. It was hard being in churches where they heard the same things over and over. Very hard. Thank you so much for writing. I look forward to part 2.

I'm always amazed that we have all read through verse 30 without questioning who is sick at church, and how many of those who have died recently did so because of partaking of the Lord's supper inappropriately.
Meanwhile, I've seen open adulterers and worse partake of the Lord's supper and be no worse for wear. For every difficult and complicated question there is an answer that is simple, easily understood and wrong." H.L. Mencken |

In 2009, Estelle won a Grammy for her song with Kanye West called "American Boy" which explicitly highlighted the reggae-tinged soul singer's very British roots and her desire to hook up with an American boy. Ever since then, Estelle's song has been a party staple. We dare you not to blast it when it comes on the radio.

Online Reservations
Great service, servers really understand the food, and wine. The food is fantastic! Original!
You couldn't ask for a better dining experience in lovely Chestnut Hill. Enjoyed every course and the atmosphere is lovely. Highly recommended!
We loved everything we had. Service was attentive but not too much so. Only problem is price point. This is a special occasion place, but it is so expensive it's just for (us) very special occasions. There are so many great restaurants in Philly to try, we probably won't be back to Mica due to the high prices.
Mica was my first suburban choice for my birthday. No disappointments compared to the several other times I had been there. Shortly after arriving, we saw an internationally famous chef, who upon recognizing us, sat down at our table for a round of champagne. That made night very special. I can't promise that to everyone, but I can promise a great meal.
Mica is small, intimate place. Portions are small but supports multi course tasting. Tuna crudo appetizer had a generous serving of tuna in a light sauce - very tasty. Husband thoroughly enjoyed rabbit tasting menu. Cheese plate for dessert had delicious selections. All in all a great dining experience.
At Mica, I've tried the tasting menu and the a la carte and recommend both. This is a restaurant that is best visited if you are in the mood to be adventurous. However, if you are only slightly adventurous, you can still enjoy the experience, just stick to ordering off the menu, not the tasting menu. The gnocchi was heavenly. We all enjoyed the trout and the short ribs, as well. The Jersey peach gazpacho was wonderful, especially with the surprise of the frozen basil. The only disappointment was the coddled hen egg; there was something smokey and ham-like about the taste that I wasn't personally fond of. We only tried the caramel pudding for dessert (very nice) and left pleasantly full, but not stuffed.
This tasting was fantastic. Lobster tasting. The Lobster bisque was out of this world. Excellent. The Lobster cake was very good, but not great. The main course was a Lobster tail in brown butter and foie gras and was outstanding. Dessert was fabulous. We try to make all the tastings we can. So far, they have all been excellent. We also enjoyed the wine pairings.
I eat out a lot and Mica blew my socks off. From the warm welcome at the door, to the cozy dining room the atmosphere was perfect. We went for the 5 course tasting menu and it didn't disappoint. Our server recommended perfectly a pairing for every course. My wife and I don't drink much so we split the wines, special note, you have to try the PX Sherry with dessert, or actually, maybe with the Foie Gras. Either way, you'll be happy you did. Don't miss this Gem.
We enjoyed our 1st dinner at Mica. We were a party of 6 & we all had a delicious meal with wonderful service. We will return again soon. The best trout I have had in many years
Based on some interesting reviews we thought we would give Mica a try. The service was gracious and attentive. The food was just a click short of our expectations. It was as if you invented a formula to make "gourmet" food but somehow left out the soul. Don't get me wrong, the food was lovely, it just lacked that feeling that you are eating culinary Art. The price was a bit high for the experience to fall a bit short. I had the trout, it was OK, but I had eaten the trout at the Standard Tap a few weeks before and it was fabulous. I guess I had expectations that Mica would be a very special experience. Mica fell short but only by a click.
My wife loves foie gras so we went for the tasting. We were bowled over. The different dishes with the blends of flavor were outstanding. It was a fabulous treat for us.
Mica was a wonderful dining experience. The food was perfect portioned and prepared perfectly. Definitely fine dining.
Celebrated our 20th anniversary and a friend recommended Mica. So glad we took their advice. We chose the Scallop tasting along with the wine pairing. Easier that way, and was really tasty. Felt satisfied, and not overwhelmed with food. The service was great. Thanks Mica!
Everything was delicious. The ambiance was very nice. Lots of couples but also a small group or 2. The location is great. The atmosphere small and intimate. It's not a place for big groups but there is a room in the back that could be sectioned off for about 8 people. The portions could be viewed somewhat on the small size, but I thought they were just right. There are options for a 1st and 2nd course. If you don't like a salad to start, you can start with a pasta dish like I did. The dessert was heavenly. I was hesitant to try it because the menu wasn't traditional but I'm glad we went because I would have missed this unique and flavorful culinary experience. Definitely go!
I go to this place every year for my birthday and it still has yet to displease me. My boyfriend and I got the 7 course meal with wine pairing. Highly recommend it if you're willing to spend the money on it
Mica is the best restaurant in Chestnut Hill by a long shot. The food is wildly innovative and always perfectly executed. The space is loud and cramped, but the cooking is outstanding. Especially enjoyed the Lamb Belly (wow) and Arctic Char.
It's nice to go out for dinner and still be surprised by something new from the kitchen! I enjoy food, and especially the excitement of a new flavor, textural, and visual experience! We observed that the menu included a listing of the staff which gives each member a sense of ownership and responsibility and therefore, our server was well-informed about the dishes.
These guys seriously know how to cook. Everything on the plate for each course was perfectly executed.
We had the chef's five-course special meal that was memorable. the food tastes were all different and the textures and choices were excellent. It was a memorable meal.
The dining experience was excellent. The food preparation and presentation were outstanding. The server was knowledgeable and ever present but not intrusive. Overall, it was as promised, an outstanding dining experience. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely.
Delicious, beautifully presented food and great service.
I've had dinner at Mica three times and each was excellent. The menu is inspired, the execution impeccable and the service delightful. Before Mica opened, one had to go to Center City for a dining experience this refined and sophisticated.
My husband and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary at Mica last Saturday. The 5-course chef's tasting was outstanding - thoughtful, flavorful and beautifully presented. Elise, the sommelier, chose perfect wines to pair with each course. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Thank you for a wonderful meal!
Food is fantastic - sophisticated, delicious & gorgeous. We're locals & this is our special treat place. We go every 2 weeks and whenever we can with clients & business partners. The weekday featured 4 course menu for $45 is to die for! We recently had menus featurinf oysters, duck, scallops, lobster (4 diff events). We've had similar awesome meals in London & Iceland which cost 5x as much. We usually go for the 3-course menu but have had the 5 and 7-course choice on special occasions (and after a long hike in Fairmont Park) and left with a good food buzz. They make an effort to remember the clientele, so when you go a 2nd time plus, they'll remember your name, favorite cocktail etc. George Perrier was a recent guest chef. GO!! EAT WELL!!
My husband and I dined Saturday evening at Mica. I had made a reservation via Open Table, and had indicated that this was a birthday dinner for my husband. We were seated promptly, the service was very good overall and the food was beautifully presented, and artistically created. Everything was delicious. Portions are on the small side, and no acknowledgement was made that this was a birthday dinner in spite of the fact that I had indicated it on my online reservation. My past experience has been that staff usually acknowledges special occasions. We did appreciate being seated in the back area, as it was not as noisy as the front room. We were able to comfortably converse and enjoy our dinner.
We chose the chef's tasting and everything was as you would expect from a restaraunt of this calibur. Some trendy and some experimental items were on the list all beautiful and well balanced. The atmosphere was extremely comfortable as well. Save this place for a special occasion.
Our third time at Mica and it just keeps getting better! The food is prepared beautifully and is absolutely delicious. Elyse, the new GM did a wine pairing for us which was excellent. The servers are friendly and knowledgable and the space is very comfortable. We will go back again and again.
We were back at Mica for the beef tasting and all I can say is this restaurant continues to impress. The thing I love most about this place is the creative and innovative way they use ingredients. Chef Yanni puts flavors together in pairings you'd never think of and it is incredible how well they work. For those who follow Philadelphia Magazines restaurant reviews, you'll remember Mica cracked the top 50 this year. My guess is they'll be moving up when next restaurant edition is published.
There wasn't anything that wasn't executed with Excellence in this restaurant. From the time you walked in till the time you left the staff was Excellent. The staff from the back servers to the GM are a reflection of the Chef's Excellence in the his execution of food preparation, plating, and service. The GM was Excellent. She was actually working our station and provided Excellent service. this is by far one of the best places that I have had dinner in the city. I'm still surprised they didn't get another bell in their review. I couldn't find anything to complain about. Everyone was knowledgeable about the menu and wines. If you haven't been you should.
This past Wednesday's venison tasting didn't sound as tasty as many of the other tastings my guests and I have experienced, and we ordered from the regular menu. Everything was excellent. This is among my favorite restaurants in Chestnut Hill. I dine here often and would recommend that you do too. --jm
We really enjoying the tasting menus at Mica. The regular menu is great, too. The food was outstanding. We also had the wine pairings, which we also enjoyed. The service was very good. We had the venison tasting and it was the best venison I have had. We have been to Mica often and have had a great experience each time. It is somewhat small and quiet with great food and wine!
I had the venison tasting. A memorable meal. Among the best I've ever had
Delicious food served with exquisite presentation. Each course was perfect!!! Small portions and pricey-but worth every penny I am sure we will be back for more tasting at Mica
Dinner was a taste treat - every forkful was a real treat.
The decor was simple and quiet---so that the food could shine! The presentation was inspired and the taste elegantly seasoned and fresh. We particularly enjoyed the Tuna Crudo and the Chilled Brussels Sprouts: so fresh and beautifully seasoned with delicacy. We hope to return many times.
Could not possibly have been better. And a bargain.
I am a fan of Blackfish, so I was excited to try Mica for brunch. The space was cozy and beautiful, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The menu and concepts were great, but there were just little things that weren't quite up to par: - My sparking wine was not chilled enough - The shaved kale salad did not come out "shaved" - My fish was cooked to perfection, but it was very smoky. This is personal thing, but I am not a fan of smokiness in food, so I found this overwhelming. The bacon that accompanied the kale was also a bit too smoky too, for my taste. I enjoyed my meal overall, but it was not as amazing as I'd hoped. I'd still recommend this place (and I'd return again), because I think there is promise.
We were a fan of Blackfish, so we wanted to give Mica a try also. Chocolate tasting menu was unique. The tortellini dish with wild boar ragu was very tasty, and the venison main course was done perfectly. Will come back to try the chef's tasting menu next time
Every course that was served at our table was outstanding. The poulard was quite possibly the best chicken I have ever eaten and the gnocchi entree that I had was so good I was tempted to order another serving of it for dessert.
It as our first time to Chestnut Hill. Very cute neighborhood to take a stroll on a nice fall day. The restaurant is quite small but lent itself for an intimate dining experience. Nice decor, great food with beautiful presentation. We will be back.
It was my second time there and I thought the food was much better than before.I had the chance to meet the chef,Yanni, and I was very impressed with him and his young age Itn is expensive so nI would recommend it to people for a specisl occasion. The wine list was great
The Chef at Mica is brilliant. Every experience leaves me more obsessed with his incredible flavor combinations, and beautiful mix of textures. There is a reason for every ingredient on the plate, and the Chef clearly understands how to combine ingredients so the flavors all enhance one another. Most spectacular meal I have had so far: foie gras tasting menu. Need I say more?! Just outstanding.
Mica was excellent in my first encounter. Food, service, ambience all at a very heigh level. Will be going back with guests next week.
Mica never ceases to amaze us in its culinary delights. Each dish provides an amazing food sensation and the wait staff is top drawer.
As a self-proclaimed "foodie", I returned quickly to Mica to reaffirm my initial positive impressions. Second time round, I found the food to be very good again, although the foie gras appetizer with creamed honey was not to my liking. Service was the hole in the evening's experience. "Uneven" would be the overall assessment. Mica would benefit by having a person in the front of the restaurant (a "captain or maitre'dee) to ensure that service is maintained at a very high level.
Expensive but always delicious. We always get the chef's tasting and are never disappointed. Best restaurant in chestnut hill.
This crew at Mica delivered flawlessly on an amazing meal. We will definitely return again if we are in the area! Great food, atmosphere, ad service.
Creative, delicious food and excellent service. One of very few really outstanding restaurants outside of center city. I've read reviews complaining of small portions. Perhaps some people should eat less. The four of us were totally satisfied with our selections (we all got different items) and no one was hungry when we left. Atmosphere is not my personal favorite style but is still very nice.
As we've been here a bunch, I figured I'd use this review to help guide folks considering coming to Mica. First if you are looking for the 28 ounce bone-in Rib-Eye with a baked potato, might I suggest you consider the Capital Grille. Mica is not for you. On the other hand, If you are looking for unique flavor profiles and artful plating, then you want to consider this establishment. What they do with food at Mica is part art, part chemistry and part sorcery. Why I love this restaurant is because with the seasonal menu, I never get bored. There is always something new for me to try. Live in the Western Suburbs? Why fight the Schuylkill. Mica is just off of Rt. 309 with ample parking directly behind the restaurant. Enjoy!
Elegant menu, perfect size portions. The donuts for dessert ore worth a special trip on their own.

ESPN Still Investigating A Collegiate Scandal... Just Not Penn State or Syracuse
ESPN has been coming under fire from all sides in recent weeks for how they've handled their coverage of the scandals at Syracuse and Penn St. In the case of Penn St., ESPN has been criticized for how far behind the curve they've been with breaking the details of the case and their ensuing coverage. In fact, ESPN's ombudsman, the Poynter Institute, finally showed some worth in their position as independent critic with a biting review of ESPN's slow response to the biggest scandal to rock college athletics, perhaps in history. Here are a few worthwhile quotes from the much maligned Poynter:
"With the biggest staff of sports journalists in the world, ESPN should have been leading the charge to ask tough questions and shed light on this scandal. Instead, it was the tiny Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. out in front of the journalism pack."
"Moving on to fallout and other issues is standard journalistic fare, but the Penn State scandal isn't any other second-day story... We would expect the instincts of a 24-hour broadcast newsroom to be quicker."
To add to the criticism of ESPN's Penn St. coverage, the WWL has also been under fire for how they've handled ongoing allegations at Syracuse. On the one hand, ESPN has been borderline obsessive over pushing the story, largely because they were the ones who finally broke this particular scandal. Some have seen their Syracuse coverage as a rushed response to being caught out on Sandusky. However, when news broke that ESPN had sat on a potentially incriminating videotape for almost a decade, the network was shown to be hypocritical at best and criminally negligent at worst.
Personally, I've argued for a long time that ESPN's drive for entertainment and profit had long ago swallowed up its journalistic integrity. And, having figures like reporter Mark Schwarz and executive Vince Doria being grilled by heavyweight media watchdogs like Howard Kurtz and Richard Deitsch seems to add fuel to that perspective. (And no, Jason Whitlock doesn't belong in that category.) Still, the full story of ESPN's role in these two scandals has yet to fully play out and is incredibly complex in its own right, so we'll reserve detailed judgement for a later date.
However, without question, one scandal ESPN thoroughly covered from top-to-bottom from the beginning was Jim Tressel and TatGate at Ohio St. The tenacity ESPN showed in covering the dismissal of Jim Tressel and the sanctions at Ohio St. was relentless in its single-minded focus. At times, it even seemed like some at the network were rooting for Jim Tressel to be fired. At the same time, ESPN basically ignored scandals that were developing on other campuses at North Carolina and Miami. The difference between the three? Yahoo had broken the mile-long rap sheet of potential violations at Miami while Sports Illustrated had done a lot of the work in gaining more info on the North Carolina violations.
Well, as it turns out, ESPN isn't done with Ohio St. just yet...

An Uncommon Union
Price: | $24.99 |
Choose a Retailer Below
This insightful history explores the stereotype of Dallas Theological Seminary as an anti-intellectual stronghold of fundamentalism and dispensational premillennialism. The tenures of the school's five presidents reveal the tensions that DTS, a blend of differing heritages and of opposing traditions, has experienced amid changes in American religious and cultural life.
ePub, Reflowable$10.99
Hardcover, Jacketed$24.99
Dallas Theological Seminary is often viewed as a bastion of conservative evangelicalism, marked by an unswerving devotion to theological positions of fundamentalism, biblical inerrancy, and dispensational premillennialism.
An Uncomfortable Fraternity, the first book-length history of Dallas Theological Seminary, written by a graduate and veteran faculty member of DTS, provides a necessary corrective to such a simplistic assessment. Using the tenures of the school's five presidents as the backbone for his narrative, John D. Hannah reveals the tensions that DTS has experienced in its eighty-plus years of existence.
Each successive president of DTS brought his own unique style and perceptions to the school, even as he dealt with the changing religious and cultural milieu that swirled around it. Hannah argues that, rather than being a monolithic institution, Dallas Theological Seminary is a unique blend of differing heritages and of opposing traditions, a place that defies easy categorization.
A keenly insightful and thoughtful work, An Uncomfortable Fraternity illuminates the path charted by the leaders of a prominent American seminary in a rapidly changing world. All readers interested in the history and future of evangelicalism, regardless of their theological persuasion, will benefit from this book.

Poll: Hospitals concerned about shrinking revenues and how it will affect patients

We're now getting a better look at how hospitals will be affected by Obama -- well over half say their revenues will shrink.
And that could affect the employees and ultimately the patients.
Doctor Mark Siegel -- a member of the -- medical -- team and a professor of medicine at NYU's land go to medical center doctor good morning to you.
Good morning bell who did this study what did they conclude.
Well it's a couple of organizations called high roads in Detroit and Solomon and -- & Associates they got together.
And they looked at a 178 different hospitals and these are big hospitals bill.
And they found that the vast majority of them are saying you know our fees are gonna get -- we're not gonna make as much money as we thought we were gonna make.
And this is really surprising when you consider that the American Hospital Association.
And the federation of American hospitals the two biggest organizations in the country.
Backed Obama care they sat down at the table and they agreed to a 155 billion dollars worth of cuts thinking they were gonna make it up in volume which I never believe bill they can't make it up and volume.
Because the volume comes in but the payments get cut in OK so then how does this ultimately affect the patient.
All of this affect folks at home that's the billion dollar question in the way this affects the patients is that you have overcrowding in emergency rooms.
You have sixteen million more Medicaid patients come in the states are going to cut the hospitals when it comes to Medicaid.
Hospitals have traditionally tried to make that up with private insurance payments.
But you've got more and more regulations under obamacare now you have the accountable care organizations that are saying to hospitals you better prove you got quality of care here.
Otherwise we're not even going to pay -- -- the hospitals are gonna start closing more and more.
And only the big hospitals going to be able to stay open only of the university medical centers.
For sure are going to be able to I don't know how does this affect you as a doctor well I think -- a house affects the patient obviously affects the patient as they they have less and less places to go for care.
It affects me as a doctor.
Because I'm under more and more pressure to see more and more patience -- there's less and less facilities available.
And also it's not just hospitals reimbursements that are getting cut it's also physician.
Positions may then say I'm gonna go work for a hospital but the hospital may pay them less I've always thought that the idea of cutting fees to the people providing the services is the worst possible way.
To ensure quality of care now I did anyone see this other than you.
I think a lot of people saw others who were opponents of obamacare to Begin with but to be totally fair.
I think it's a lot worse than people envisioned really because the cost of the law has ended up being much more three times -- anybody envisioned and I think hospitals really did to some extent by the line.
That they were gonna make it up in volume -- because they said -- look.
There's so many uninsured coming in our doors if you give them a Medicaid card we're gonna at least get something for that.
But as time has gone on they see the states rebelling they see their Medicaid reimbursements are gonna get cut and they see the private insurers cutting down so as the reality hits more and more they're waking up to it so the same people that reluctantly.
Backed obamacare are now saying this is not for your respective people who -- -- All completely because it's -- top organizations one from Boston.
The other one from Detroit -- -- both of both of them are involved in health care analysis there they're top top firms and they looked at big hospitals who have from 3000 than 9000 employees thank you mark we'll see -- -- producer dark secret at a function.

It's time to get your flu shot (and your kid's too)
Michigan health officials say it's time to get your flu shot. And they want your children vaccinated too.
You might think flu season is still months away. But you'd be wrong. State health officials say there have already been two confirmed influenza cases in Michigan this year.
"Both of those cases did match the components that were in the vaccine for this year," says Dean Sienko, the interim Chief Medical Executive at the Michigan Department of Human Services.
State health officials are putting extra emphasis on getting children vaccinated against the flu this year. Just over half the children between the ages of 6 months to 4 years old get vaccinated in Michigan. That's well below the nation average. In fact, Michigan's ranks fifth from the bottom among the 50 states.

How to Win a Chess Game Fast?
Many people believe that chess is the ultimate game. It requires skill, strategy and the ability to think ahead. There are some moves, however, that can bring crushing defeat to an opponent very early on, sometimes before they even know what hit them. This guide provides step by step instructions on how to execute a classic chess strategy that will defeat inexperienced players in just four short moves.
Instructions:- Move the Pawn that is situated in square E2, directly above the King. You can move this Pawn forward either one or two spaces. It does not matter which you choose, however, moving only one space will provide a better defense in the event that you are matched against an experienced player who will try to reverse this strategy on you
- Know that after your initial move, it will be your opponent's turn. Very few moves your opponent can make will change your outcome at this stage. For simulation purposes, assume that the other player leads out with their Queen's Knight. Make your second move and move your Queen three spaces to space F3. In the example given, an inexperienced player may be hoping that you will be foolish enough to take the Knight with your Queen and will not likely anticipate your next move
- Let your opponent make a second move. For simulation purposes, assume that they move their Pawn forward to E5 in an attempt to apply pressure to your Queen. This is a common move and one that you may really encounter. After the other player moves it is your turn once again. They will be expecting you to use your Queen, but move your King's Bishop instead. Move the Bishop four spaces to space C4
- Let your opponent make a third move. Assume that they move their Pawn forward an additional space in hopes of taking your Queen. Now it is your fourth and final move. Move your Queen all the way up to space F7, taking the opponent's Pawn and placing them in Check Mate. You have just won the chess game in four simple moves

- 1 x Set of Golf Chess

Overtime pay for nonexempt employees is computed under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), subject to some special rules for Federal employees. Under the FLSA, overtime pay is determined by multiplying the employee's "straight time rate of pay" by all overtime hours worked PLUS one-half of the employee's "hourly regular rate of pay" times all overtime hours worked. All overtime work that is ordered or approved or "suffered or permitted" must be compensated. (See 5 CFR part 551.)
Include any applicable special rate supplement or locality payment in the "total remuneration" and "straight time rate of pay" when computing overtime pay under the FLSA. Compute the "hourly regular rate of pay" by dividing the "total remuneration" paid to an employee in the workweek by the number of hours in the workweek for which such compensation is paid.
The limitation on an hourly rate of overtime pay under title 5, United States Code, does not apply to overtime pay under the FLSA. Also, the maximum biweekly or annual earnings limitations on title 5 premium pay do not apply to FLSA overtime pay.
Multiply the straight time rate of pay by all overtime hours worked PLUS one-half of the employee's hourly regular rate of pay times all overtime hours worked. (See 5 CFR 551, subpart E.)
Follow the steps below to compute FLSA overtime pay. The example below is based on a GS 7, step 1, annual rate of basic pay of $38,790 (2012-RUS)
Total Hours of Work: 52 hours.Overtime Work: 12 hours.Nightwork: 40 hours.Sunday Work: 8 hours.
$38,790 / 2,087 hours = $18.59.
Basic Pay (40 hours).$18.59 x 40 hours = $743.60.
Night Pay (40 hours).$18.59 x .10 = $1.86.$1.86 x 40 hours = $74.40.
Sunday Premium Pay (8 hours).$18.59 x .25 = $4.65.$4.65 x 8 hours = $37.20.
Straight Time Pay.$18.59 x 12 hours = $ 223.08.
Total Remuneration = $ 1,078.28 ($743.60 + $74.40 + $37.20 + $ 223.08).
$1,078.28 / 52 hours = $ 20.74.
Straight Time Rate of Pay x All Overtime Hours Worked.$18.59 x 12 hours = $223.08.
One-half x Hourly Regular Rate of Pay x All Overtime Hours Worked.0.5 x $20.74 = $10.37.$10.37 x 12 hours = $124.44.
Total FLSA Overtime Pay = $ 347.52 ($223.08 + $124.44).
Basic Pay = $ 743.60.Night Pay = $ 74.40.Sunday Premium Pay = $ 37.20.FLSA Overtime Pay = $ 347.52.
Total Weekly Pay = $ 1,202.72 ($743.60 + $74.40 + $37.20 + $347.52).

Carry on, carry-on
Avoid the risk of lost checked luggage by picking up one of these carry-on bags before your next summer getaway.
1. Deep pocket
The simple Utility Canvas Overnighter bag has a big inside pocket suitable for an iPod, passport, paperback novels, some extra in-flight snacks and whatever else you'll need in order to have the best flight ever. The protective rubber bottom means the bag will be durable for many vacations to come. $112 at utilitycanvas.com.
2. Business or pleasure
The Stem Business Bag by Orla Kiely is so cute that once you've unpacked, it could easily pass as your everyday bag. The heavy-coated canvas on the outside means it's waterproof and safe for the beach, too. $195 at Flight 001, 1133 N State St (312-944-1001, flight001.com).
3. Big bag theory
Size restrictions for carry-on bags vary with each airline, but it's a safe bet that any bag smaller than 22 inches long will fit in most overhead compartments. This big Carry-on Expandable Wheeled Upright by High Sierra Sport Company just makes the cut, and has plenty of pockets and storage space for stowing in-flight entertainment and personal items. $129 at luggagefactory.com.
4. Back it up
Backpacking through Europe doesn't require a huge bag—and neither does the flight to get there. The midsize Lighthouse Backpack by Land's End has a padded section for a laptop (so you can blog about your trip at every stop along the way) and plenty of pockets on the inside and out. There's room for an extra change of clothes, just in case you spill your in-flight beverage. And the handle on top means you won't have to wear the pack on your back all the time. $65 at Sears (locations throughout the city, sears.com).
5. The size is right
It doesn't matter whether you're a light or heavy packer: This Expand-A-Bag folds out from a petite 9.25 x 8 inches long carry-on into a large duffel with a big inside pocket—great news for those of us who somehow always wind up flying home with a lighter pocket book and double the wardrobe. $40 at Flight 001.

Laminations Lamentations
What questions do you want answered about laminators and lamination? Lamination experts weigh in on top questions.
What questions would you like to see answered about laminators and laminating? Back in November, I posed that question to the Wide-Format Imaging Network on LinkedIn and received a number of fantastic questions. Some of the industry's top lamination experts weighed in to offer answers to your top questions.
Interested in joining the conversation? Sign up to join the group at linkd.in/nHA9Zo
1. What are the pros/cons of UV liquid lamination vs. film lamination?
Tony Caruso, Eastern regional sales, AGL: Liquid lam has grown in popularity in narrow-format printing with menu, brochure, book cover, and postcard printers that don't need a laminate to add rigidity. It bonds well to heavy ink coverage, costs less on large runs, and it's fast. However, film lamination still dominates in wide format printing.
Film offers a wider range of finishes and textures, is more durable than UV liquid, plus film can add rigidity and UV protection when needed. UV liquid can't.
Another consideration is the equipment used to apply the laminates. A UV liquid device has a single use; applying UV liquid laminate. A traditional roll laminator gives the printer the ability to mount and create various decals in addition to laminating.
Frank Corey, senior sales and marketing manager, Quality Media & Laminating Systems: UV liquid laminators are suited for long runs of printed media (banner or adhesive vinyl). The liquid laminators are a substantial investment (way more than most laminators) and from what I am told, there is daily cleaning involved to make the units operate properly. Pro: less expensive than film lamination/sq.ft. Con: greater initial investment, single thickness of coating—unlike films, suited for certain materials and long runs, higher maintenance costs.
Nate Goodman, product manager, Drytac
Film Technology—Pros
Adds rigidity to cast film
Can be conformable (polymeric)
Clean up is limited
Polyester and Polypropylene PE less expensive than PVC's
More eco friendly (polypropylene)
Liquid Technology—Pros
More conformable
Wide variety of application methods
Low cost of entry
Lower price than film equivalent
Process flexibility
Small batch customization possible
Film Technology—Cons
More money
Not eco-friendly
Requires trimming
More waste
Liquid Technology—Cons
Cost of entry can be high (UV curable)
Clean up considerations can be a drawback
Angela Mohni, vice president Marketing, Neschen Americas: Film lamination provides many more readily available choices in film finish and final application. There are various textures, gloss levels, and performance enhancement such as graffiti resistance and write on/wipe off characteristics. Liquid lamination, particularly UV, provides fewer options on finishes; however, the benefit is lower cost per sq.ft. and faster production. Also, film laminating equipment is much more widely available.
Ed Pierce, product manager, GBC: When considering finishing options, the application and its use must always be considered first. Questions that need to be answered before choosing a finishing option include: Will the application be moved around a lot and be susceptible harsh treatment? How long will the application be in use? Is the application something that needs to be protected from tearing? Will the application be bent time and again? Is the application going to be exposed to harsh environmental conditions? What finish is required? Will the application be used more than one time?
If the answer to any of these questions indicates that the application requires higher levels of protection from exposure and use, the very best option is film lamination. Film lamination offers a great deal more protection and durability to the finished output. Liquid coating has its place, but will not offer the long standing durability and protection that film lamination does.
Of course, price is always a consideration. Liquid coating costs less and if the application is for a one time use, it may be a good finishing alternative. Film lamination offers different levels of price points that may meet the cost targets and can also return a higher margin to the print provider.

Get on track with Pembrokeshire Model Engineers
12:53pm Wednesday 18th September 2013 in News
A CLUB, which was formed more than 20 years ago by a passionate and prolific model engineer, is encouraging members of the public to hop onboard.
Pembrokeshire Model Engineers (PME) was the brainchild of the late George "The Fish" Thomas, the father of the present secretary, Trevor Thomas.
George built the first in a long list of model locomotives in 1952, and was a constant visitor to the Swansea track. He would take fish from Milford Dock to Swansea Market in his van, and once business was over he would head straight to the track.
A 1991 article in Model Engineer Magazine said: "It seemed impossible to picture George anywhere other than behind a railway engine somewhere. Indeed, sometimes it seemed to club members that it would need several crowbars and a screwjack to get him off the track once steam was up."
George saw the need to build a similar facility in Pembrokeshire for enthusiasts just like him. He identified a site by the Meads in Milford Haven, which was a former council tip. He managed to negotiate leasing the land to build a raised-level model railway.
After development over the years, it now measures half a mile in length, includes an over bridge and caters for both five and three and half inch gauges.
Alan Taylor from PME told the Milford Mercury: "In the early days we used to carry fare paying passengers on the track but recently we have had to curtail this as there would have to be a considerable number of very expensive changes made to our rolling stock as well a huge increase in insurance liability.
"The club also used to have a portable track and joined in various events not least in Milford Haven itself. At the recent exhibition held in celebration of the arrival of the railway 150 years ago, one of the George Thomas locomotives raised a lot of comments from the many visitors who had ridden behind it, both at the home track as well as on the portable."
He added: "We would welcome new members whatever their particular branch of the hobby of model engineering is their forte."
