Doesn't it just make you feel all special and happy when you are out shopping (by yourself! yay!) and you grab yourself a little treat like that at a cozy little coffee shop? I love those moments! Sadly they are few and far between…
The other day was nuts, running around, dropping my kids here and there, stopping at Lowes, Carters, Target, Toys R Us for some birthday presents for upcoming parties, and grocery shopping on top of all that, trying to squeeze all of this in to the two-and-a-half hours I have to myself while my kids are at preschool. By the time I got home with them, I was wiped! And I still had yet to get started on cookies for an upcoming order. I needed a pick-me-up! The last thing I wanted to do was make another stop to buy my favorite salted caramel mocha treat…
Keep this sauce stashed in your fridge and you can whip up a salted caramel mocha in the time it takes to make your kids their afternoon snack!
Salted Caramel Sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dissolve the sugar, butter, and salt together in a deep pan. When they are completely combined, and beginning to brown, whisk in the cream all at once. It will boil furiously. Take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour into a heat safe container to cool.
On a day when your butt is really dragging, place the following ingredients into the bottom of your favorite mug:
2 teaspoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salted caramel sauce
1 shot of espresso
…and fill it the rest of the way up with milk. Microwave for approximately 90 seconds on full power, or until hot and steamy.
(if you don't have an espresso machine, just fill your mug 3/4 full with regular drip coffee, and top it off with milk, cream, or half and half)
You could even top it with some softly whipped cream, to make it even more special!
How do you like these Winter Woodland gingerbread cookies?
They were baked with Sweetopia's Gingerbread Recipe, and inspired by this post. I just loved her toadstools, acorns, and squirrels, and had to put my own spin on it!
I hope you get a free moment to treat yourself to something special this season. Curled up under a snuggly throw, on your sofa in front of a toasty fire, with a Salted Caramel Mocha between your palms… it's a perfect respite at this most busy time of year for us moms.
Enjoy the season and all the happy blessings it brings!

In this lively and compelling account, Rubin chronicles her adventures during the twelve months she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific research, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. Among other things, she found that novelty and challenge are powerful sources of happiness; that money can help buy happiness, when spent wisely; that outer order contributes to inner calm; and that the very smallest of changes can make the biggest difference.
I'm the author of "Happier at Home" and "The Happiness Project," about my experiences as I test-drove the wisdom of the ages, current scientific studies, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happy, to see what really worked. Happily, both books became New York Times bestsellers.
On my blog, www.happiness-project.com, I write about my daily adventures in happiness.
My previous books include a bestselling biography of Winston Churchill, "Forty Ways to Look at Winston Churchill," and one of John Kennedy, "Forty Ways to Look at JFK." My first book, "Power Money Fame S..: A User's Guide," is social criticism in the guise of a user's manual. "Profane Waste" was a collaboration with artist Dana Hoey. I've also written three dreadful novels that are safely locked away in a drawer.
Before turning to writing, I had a career in law. A graduate of Yale and Yale Law School, I clerked for Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal. I live in New York City with my husband and two daughters.

Federal officials overseeing a fast-growing $10 billion children's disability program have failed to follow up on the progress of 400,000 beneficiaries with behavioral, learning, and mental disorders, allowing families to receive monthly cash benefits for years even if their children's condition has improved, according to a draft report from the Government Accountability Office obtained by the Globe.
The report by the investigative branch of Congress estimated that the Social Security Administration, which runs the Supplemental Security Income program, might save $9 for every $1 it spends on disability reviews by determining that some children no longer qualify. Reviews are typically required once every three years for the 1.3 million children now receiving benefits, a record high.
Investigators also cited many instances of incomplete data or highly subjective factors being used to evaluate children with mental impairments, who now account for more than half of all cases. Though the program rejects half of all claims for disability payments, it has over the past decade seen a surge of awards in three categories - attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, speech delay, and autism spectrum disorders - particularly for young boys.
Treatment with psychotropic drugs, which alter mood and behavior, does not appear to play a pivotal role in awarding benefits, the report said, despite investigators' findings that there is "a perception among some parents that medicating their child would result in an award of benefits.''
In fact, children who were on such drugs were more likely to be denied than approved, sometimes because the psychiatric medications, particularly for ADHD, were viewed as improving their condition.

Cuccinelli backs human trafficking legislation
Legislation to curtail human trafficking in Virginia has gathered bipartisan support early in the General Assembly's 2013 session. Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli called the offense one of the fastest-growing criminal enterprises in the country. He said Tuesday that Virginia was feeling the effect. "Traffickers profit from the control and exploitation of children and adults – taking victims by threat, force, or coercion to exploit them for forced labor or sexual servitude. And it is happening right here in our commonwealth," Cuccinelli said at a press conference. Additionally, Cuccinelli announced a series of two-day training sessions for law enforcement and prosecutors across the state over the next six months. The first session starts today (Wednesday) in Northern Virginia. The attorney general has a history of supporting measures to curb human trafficking. He introduced bills to combat the crime during his stint as a state senator and served on a human trafficking advisory group. Cuccinelli pledged his support to the four bills and urged legislators to pass them: HB 1606, sponsored by Delegate Timothy Hugo, R-Fairfax, and Senate Bill 1015, by Sen. Janet Howell, D-Reston: These measures would increase the penalty for soliciting prostitution from a minor from a misdemeanor to a Class 5 or Class 6 felony, depending on the victim's age. HB 1870, sponsored by Delegate Robert Bell, R-Charlottesville: This bill would alter Virginia's basic human trafficking statute to include "receiving money for procuring a person" as an offense punishable by a multijurisdictional grand jury. Jurisdiction would not be an issue in prosecuting human traffickers operating across county lines. HB 1826, sponsored by Delegate Ronald Villanueva, R-Virginia Beach: This measure would also address issues in jurisdiction when investigating human trafficking. It would allow officers to keep pursuing an investigation into human trafficking outside of their own jurisdiction. Both Republicans and Democrats joined Cuccinelli to express support for the legislation. They included Howell, Hugo and Secretary of the Commonwealth Janet Kelly. |

Cowes RNLI crewman Peter Cunningham is to receive training thanks to funding from the Lloyd's Register Educational Trust.
A LIFEBOAT volunteer working to make the seas around the Isle of Wight safer is to be given vital training thanks to a charity.
The Lloyd's Register Educational Trust (LRET) is to fund part of the crew training for Cowes RNLI Lifeboatman Peter Cunningham.
The 28-year-old will complete the charity's trainee crew course at the RNLI College in Poole, next week, said a Cowes RNLI spokesman.
The intensive training will include learning how to abandon ship, team survival swimming techniques, coping in 'life-rafted simulated darkness', dealing with fires, how to right a capsized inshore lifeboat and the importance of lifejackets.
Peter, of Cowes, said: "Although I have had over eight years of experience with non-RNLI lifeboats both in the UK and New Zealand, this course will bring me in line with the current RNLI practices, which are somewhat different from those used by other services with which I have worked."
The LRET is an independent charity that funds work to improve safety on land, at sea and in the air.
The LRET has provided £1m funding to cover the Sea Survival element of the RNLI's Trainee Crew Course from January 2011 to December 2015.
Allen Head, RNLI Training Divisional Inspector, said: "The training we give to our lifeboat crew members is considered by many to be among the best in the world.
"No matter what a person's skills or background, we pride ourselves on how well we prepare our volunteers to save lives.
"The support given by The Lloyd's Register Educational Trust is hugely important to the RNLI.
"We are extremely grateful that it has chosen to fund sea survival training, which teaches vital core skills to our volunteer crew.
"This training is central to allowing the RNLI and its volunteers to stay safe while on rescue missions.
"It equips volunteers with essential survival skills; providing them with the courage, poise and self-confidence to save lives even in the most perilous seas."

Colorado Canyons Association received a $23,000 multiple-year National Conservation Lands Science Grant from the Bureau of Land Management. The Colorado proposal is one of only 16 projects (totaling $356,000) selected for funding from a pool of 57 proposals submitted nationally.
CCA will work closely with the BLM to establish a citizen science program in Dominguez-Escalante NCA, which will develop a baseline inventory of the riparian plant communities and monitor riparian health along Big Dominguez Creek.
"CCA was the only group in Colorado to receive an NCA science grant award and our entire organization is excited about engaging the community on this project," said Joe Neuhof, CCA executive director. "These areas were designated for their scientific value and this study kick starts our work with the BLM in training citizen scientists and collecting meaningful data on the ground."
The initial task is for the BLM and CCA to train a group of committed citizen scientists to help with this project. Once trained, CCA staff and volunteers will create a baseline for measuring riparian health with special attention to any new guidance around management in the riparian areas from the Dominguez-Escalante Resource Management Plan. Volunteers and CCA staff will then carry out annual follow-up monitoring for three years beyond the initial inventory with all data housed in a database.
"This project will not only give us important data regarding the health of riparian areas along Big Dominguez Creek, but it will also allow us to gauge how effective our management of the area is in improving and maintaining the resource," said BLM ecologist Nikki Hoffman.
This research will help the BLM determine if future management actions are sufficient to maintain the condition of riparian plant communities upon completion of the current draft RMP. The goal of this annual project is to help build a committed core of citizen volunteers who are interested in helping with scientific data collection in the NCA while creating a process that can be replicated in other protected landscapes across the country.

The Arowana, also known by the Chinese as the "golden dragon" or "living dragon", is said to be the most expensive aquarium fish in the world. It is so expensive because of its close similarity to an actual dragon; it has beautiful metallic scales that reflect the colors of the rainbow, and boasts two "whiskers" on its face. It is a significant symbol of prosperity, because the word fish in Chinese translates to "yu", which also means wealth.

Excellent condition. Only has incidental marks here and there from handling. Beautiful color and beautiful condition varnish. All Ebony fittings. Highly figured 2-pc Maple back. Strong Maple figure in the ribs and neck. This is a very nice Viola for sound, as well. Full and rich, even with rather old strings on it.
New. These are very nice violins from China that are priced quite low for the sound and the quality. These are made with very nice Maple and Spruce, great coloration and varnish, nice Ebony fittings. They come with no label inside and are routinely bought by shops like ours to have the shop's own label put inside. So - take advantage of a $950 - $1150 violin that is selling for $675 because we haven't put our label inside it. Great workmanship and tone, and well as symmetry and beauty. Comes with good case and bow.
Exc.(+) Condition. Almost no signs of previous use. This is an old German "Strad" copy originally from the maker Hopf. However, in 2008, Frank E. Daniels did a major refurbishing including a new neck and re-varnishing. Spruce top, 2-pc. Maple back and Maple neck. Ebony fittings. Nice, full sound.
VG(+) Condition. There are several repaired top cracks. The back and sides have minor scratches, and there is a small area on the back where finish is rubbing away. Spruce top, Maple 2-pc. back and sides. Excellent tone.
Exc.(+) Condition. There are minor dings, but no problems, no repaired cracks. Original varnish finish. Spruce top, select maple back, sides and neck. Double lines of purfling on top and back. Ebony fittings. Much like the last Bohmann Violin we sold just a month earlier, this violin has a very good voice. It comes in a very nice Artino hard case. We've come to highly respect
Excellent original condition. 4/4 violin. Great student upgrade violin. Hollinger has made a name for himself buying Chinese made violins "in the white", and making any necessary graduations to the wood and finishing them out with nice varnish finish. Ebony fingerboard. Rosewood pegs and chinrest. Metal adjuster tailpiece.
New Condition. Strikingly beautiful one-pc highly figured Maple back. This is a very nice violin made by John Melnichuk, a noted builder and player from the Seattle area. Made from choice materials, the look and feel and tone are all very high on this one. Select Spruce top with highly figured Maple back and sides. Red varnish really sets off the woods. Ebony fittings, with metal fine tuner tailpiece. This violin sounds wonderful...
Exc.(-) Condition. Normal dings around corners and edges, but in great overall shape. Ebony fittings. Original finish in nice condition. Good playability and sound, comes with good bow.
Exc. condition. Antiqued with some various marks under the finish on the top and the finish is artfully applied on the back to appear like old worn finish. Spruce top. 2-pc. figured Maple back. Ebony fittings.
VG+ condition. Has some normal handling marks on top and back and at edges, but all-in-all it is nice and is certainly nicely set-up and adjusted. 4/4 Violin with Maple and Spruce construction. Ebony fittings, featuring carved fluted pegs and carved fluted tailpiece. Peghead shows nice work, with elegant scroll, and with elaborate wood carved floral pattern on both sides of peghead and in back of peghead. No cracks on top or on back or sides. No problems at all. Recently restored to high condition by John Joyner, one of our local luthiers here in Missoula, with good soundpost and placement, good bridge and good strings. The sound and playability are very good. Comes with a basic good hard case and Carbon Fibre bow

Heat at the Brits: The outfits! Posted by Heatworld on 22 February 2012 15:12 Comments Gallery Holly Willoughby Holly Willoughby Little Mix Little Mix Adele Adele Florence Welch Florence Welch Rihanna Rihanna Jessie J Jessie J Cher Lloyd Cher Lloyd One Direction One Direction Nicole Scherzinger Nicole Scherzinger Emeli Sande Emeli Sande Kylie Minogue Kylie Minogue Lisa Snowdon & Dave Berry Lisa Snowdon & Dave Berry Lana Del Rey Lana Del Rey Lydia Bright Lydia Bright Professor Green & Millie Mackintosh Professor Green & Millie Mackintosh Pixie Lott Pixie Lott Last night's Brit Awards let us indulge in all of our favourite things 'Showbiz'; The speeches, the egos...the dresses! Along with some amazing musical perfomances the celebs whipped out their glad rags to impress, and here are some of our favourites... Holly Willoughby kick-started the night, staying true to her nickname Holly Willoughbooby in this daring black plunge neck number. The presenter looked very sultry in her LBD, which tucked in her waist nicely and flowed to just above the knee. The star wore a long necklace to accentuate that enviable cleavage, teetered on some black strappy heels and finished the lock with red nails and a little black clutch. We've never seen the This Morning host be so daring. Other star's who went all out for the Brit bash included singer Jessie J, who went got for an attention-grabbing, floorlength sheer number, cheekily flashing some flesh, with her modesty just covered by carefully placed sequin detail and a pair of giant red pants. Florence Welch wore a peach, textured Alexander McQueen dress by Sarah Burton, who some of our readers may know as the designer of Kate Middleton's wedding dress. Rihanna looked stunning in a floor length, beaded Givenchy number with long brown leather gloves and matching beaded heels. Adele has been rocking the black floorlength dresses and swept back Hollywood hair at recent events. Mind you, we suppose the only thing the singer really needs to concentrate on is her shoes, what with all of that award collecting she's been doing. Award winner Lana Del Rey chose an appropriately coloured off the shoulder, red Vivienne Westwood dress to match her Brit for best International Breakthrough Act. The attendants who we've deemed cutest dressed at this year's Brits are One Direction. The boy band looked adorable in their old-fashioned suits, complete with trainers and well-preened hair, aww. X Factor winners Little Mix also attended the event, the band looked their usual eccentric selves in outlandish prints with colour pop lipstick, shoes and very glossy looking hair. Professor Green and Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh stepped out for the first time as a couple last night. Millie wore a green strapless dress with a thigh-high split and tied her hair back with loosely escaping tousled curls. What we really want to know is, what do you Heatworld Citizens think of the outfits from last night? Who left you impressed and who left you distressed? Get those comments in.

Research project: Phylogeny of the Isopoda among the Peracarida
- Start date:
- 2008
Museum investigators
Funded by
- Travel Support: German Research Foundation (DFG)
The phylogeny and classification of the Isopoda presented in the paper Brusca & Wilson (1992) was preliminary because it used only higher level taxa, thus limiting the detail that could be represented. Recent separate molecular and morphological studies by other authors have found results that conflict with this original effort and also with each other.
Even at this late date, the relationships of isopod suborders and of the isopods to other related crustaceans are still controversial. At the invitation of Professor Stefan Richter (University of Rostock, Germany), I presented a study of isopod relationships as determined by direct optimisation analysis of morphological and molecular data. This study attempts to find a stable position for the Isopoda within the larger group Peracarida. An additional goal of this research is to assess the in-group relationships of the Isopoda. A practical goal is to employ useful techniques that are not in broad use in the molecular phylogenetics community.
This study is innovative because a large amount of data gleaned from the literature and GenBank are used. At the moment, the working database has 75 carefully chosen taxa. The molecular component uses small subunit ribosomal DNA data available on GenBank with additional sequences that have not been published. Unlike all previous studies, this project will combine all data, molecular and morphological, into a single analysis. The analysis uses a method called Direct Optimisation in the phylogenetic analysis. This method is desirable because standard fixed multiple alignments create imaginary "gaps" in the dataset that are applied to all taxa, even though insertion-deletion events in the gene are confined to specific clades, as they are in the direct optimisation method.
In June 2008, the progress report was presented as a Keynote Speaker address at the International Crustacean Society Conference in Galveston, Texas, and a more complete version was presented in Rostok during October 2008.

Sublimation (psychology)
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2011) |
In psychology, sublimation is a mature type of defense mechanism where socially unacceptable impulses or idealizations are consciously transformed into socially acceptable actions or behavior, possibly resulting in a long-term conversion of the initial impulse. Sigmund Freud believed that sublimation was a sign of maturity (indeed, of civilization), allowing people to function normally in culturally acceptable ways. He defined sublimation as the process of deflecting sexual instincts into acts of higher social valuation, being "an especially conspicuous feature of cultural development; it is what makes it possible for higher psychical activities, scientific, artistic or ideological, to play such an important part in civilised life".[1] Wade and Tavris present a similar view, stating that sublimation is when displacement "serves a higher cultural or socially useful purpose, as in the creation of art or inventions".[2]
The first thinker to use the word in a psychological sense was the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. (Kaufmann, Nietzsche, chapter 7, section II). In the opening section of Human, All Too Human entitled 'Of first and last things', Nietzsche wrote:
There is, strictly speaking, neither unselfish conduct, nor a wholly disinterested point of view. Both are simply sublimations in which the basic element seems almost evaporated and betrays its presence only to the keenest observation. All that we need and that could possibly be given us in the present state of development of the sciences, is a chemistry of the moral, religious, aesthetic conceptions and feeling, as well as of those emotions which we experience in the affairs, great and small, of society and civilization, and which we are sensible of even in solitude. But what if this chemistry established the fact that, even in its domain, the most magnificent results were attained with the basest and most despised ingredients? Would many feel disposed to continue such investigations? Mankind loves to put by the questions of its origin and beginning: must one not be almost inhuman in order to follow the opposite course?[3]
Psychoanalytic theory[edit]
In Freud's psychoanalytical theory, erotic energy is allowed a limited amount of expression, owing to the constraints of human society and civilization itself. It therefore requires other outlets, especially if an individual is to remain psychologically balanced.
Sublimation is the process of transforming libido into "socially useful" achievements, including artistic, cultural and intellectual pursuits. Freud considered this psychical operation to be fairly salutary compared to the others that he identified, such as repression, displacement, denial, reaction formation, intellectualisation and projection. In the The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defence (1936), his daughter, Anna, classes sublimation as one of the major 'defence mechanisms' of the psyche.[4]
Freud got the idea of sublimation whilst reading The Harz Journey by Heinrich Heine. The story is about Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach who cut off the tails of dogs he encountered in childhood and later became a surgeon. Freud concluded that sublimation could be observed in an action performed many times throughout one's life, which firstly appears sadistic, though is ultimately refined into an activity which is of benefit to mankind.[5]
Interpersonal psychoanalysis[edit]
Harry Stack Sullivan, the pioneer of interpersonal psychoanalysis, defined sublimation as the unwitting substitution of a partial satisfaction with social approval for the pursuit of a direct satisfaction which would be contrary to one's ideals or to the judgment of social censors and other important people who surround one. The substitution might not be quite what we want, but it is the only way that we can get part of our satisfaction and feel secure, too. Sullivan documented that all sublimatory things are more complicated than the direct satisfaction of the needs to which they apply. They entail no disturbance of consciousness, no stopping to think why they must be done or what the expense connected with direct satisfaction would be. In successful sublimation, Sullivan observed extraordinarily efficient handling of a conflict between the need for a satisfaction and the need for security without perturbation of awareness.
Sexual Sublimation[edit]
Sexual sublimation, also known as sexual transmutation, is the attempt, especially among some religious traditions, to transform sexual impulses or "sexual energy" into creative energy. In this context, sublimation is the transference of sexual energy, or libido, into a physical act or a different emotion in order to avoid confrontation with the sexual urge, which is itself contrary to the individual's belief or ascribed religious belief. It is based on the idea that "sexual energy" can be used to create a spiritual nature which in turn can create more sensual works, instead of one's sexuality being unleashed "raw."[6][7][8] The classical example in Western religions is clerical celibacy.
As espoused in the Tanya[citation needed], Hasidic Jewish mysticism views sublimation of the animal soul as an essential task in life, wherein the goal is to transform animalistic and earthy cravings for physical pleasure into holy desires to connect with God.
Different schools of thought describe general sexual urges as carriers of spiritual essence, and have the varied names of vital energy, vital winds (prana), spiritual energy, ojas, shakti, tummo, or kundalini. It is also believed that undergoing sexual sublimation can facilitate a mystical awakening in an individual.[9][10][11]
Sublimation according to Jung[edit]
C. G. Jung believed sublimation to be mystical in nature, thus differing fundamentally from Freud's view of the concept. For Freud, sublimation helped explain the plasticity of the sexual instincts (and their convertibility to non-sexual ends). The concept also underpinned his psychoanalytical theories which showed the human psyche at the mercy of conflicting impulses (such as the super-ego and the id). Jung criticized Freud for obscuring the alchemical origins of sublimation and for attempting instead to make the concept appear scientifically credible:
Sublimatio is part of the royal art where the true gold is made. Of this Freud knows nothing, worse still, he barricades all the paths that could lead to true sublimatio. This is just about the opposite of what Freud understands by sublimation. It is not a voluntary and forcible channeling of instinct into a spurious field of application, but an alchymical transformation for which fire and prima materia are needed. Sublimatio is a great mystery. Freud has appropriated this concept and usurped it for the sphere of the will and the bourgeois, rationalistic ethos.[12]
This criticism extends from the private sphere of his correspondence (as above) to specific papers he published on psychoanalysis:
Freud invented the idea of sublimation to save us from the imaginary claws of the unconscious. But what is real, what actually exists, cannot be alchemically sublimated, and if anything is apparently sublimated it never was what a false interpretation took it to be.[13]
In fiction[edit]

- One of the best known examples in Western literature is in Thomas Mann's novella, Death in Venice, where the protagonist Gustav von Aschenbach, a famous writer, sublimates his desire for an adolescent boy into writing poetry.
- In Psychological Science: Mind, Brain and Behavior, by Michael Gazzaniga and Todd F. Heatherton, a more sinister example is given in which a sadist becomes a surgeon or a dentist - A direct example of this is in the musical and movie Little Shop of Horrors characterized in the descriptively sadist character of Orin Scrivello who follows his mother's advice to become a dentist, quoting her "You'll find a way/to make your natural tendencies pay (...) Son, be a dentist/People will pay you to be inhumane."
- Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None features a villain whose line of work as a judge, dealing out harsh sentences to guilty criminals, had previously permitted him to sublimate his homicidal urges.
- Sexual transmutation was quoted on Napoleon Hill's book " Think and Grow Rich " and is illustrated as a principle of success.
- In the allegorical poem Wind in the Afternoon by Dr Tapan Kumar Pradhan, the feeble attempt of human beings at sexual sublimation has been symbolically described through the imagery of two ogling streetside onlookers following the movement of a sanitary napkin and an empty tea carton being blown away during a sandstorm.

Chez Delmo
Online Reservations
Outstanding restaurant, great hospitality and service. Food is very fresh, simple and well presented. Highly recommend!
I decided to write about Delmo's again, because the staff made me feel at home even though i am not one of their many regular customers who have been going there of decades. They remembered me and made me feel great. The staff is terrific and very welcoming. This time we tried the halibut - flown in fresh from Norway, top quality and impeccably done- and lobter newburg -over 2.5 pounds!- For starters salmon tartare and grilled octopus, both perfect. Truly a wonderful restaurant, and i am becoming a fan.
This is my favorite seafood restaurant in Montreal. Great seafood and excellent service. This place is great for travellers because whenever i am in Montreal i can sit at the bar at Chez Delmo and always have someone to talk to if i want, with Chris the bartender or one of the regulars. i had octopus and seafood pasta, both were delicious. Will come back!
The service is outstanding and the menu is very good!
It is a great area with a good atmosphere and i enjoyed the food. Definitively, I recommended this place.
Everything is fresh and well done. Service is adequate, friendly. You'd think that they would lack because most are young, but perfectly trained and knowledgable. I love the drinks at the bar! Highly recommend
The star of the show is the expertly prepared fresh seafood. The food is complemented by the fresh contemporary decor and excellent service. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. A very enjoyable experience.
I love the attention to details in this restaurant. they brought me a small reading lamp when they noticed I was by myself reading a book! the seafood salad is amazing. love the fries too! will recommend and go back. keep up the great work guys!
Fresh seafood, doesn't come cheap but when prepared right is unbeatable and this restaurant serves it perfectly. We tried the halibut and the walleye and both were terrific, I thought the wine was reasonably priced so overall a very good value. Also the mural is stunning.
Lives up to its famous reputation. My time at this restaurant will be unforgettable. Even though the restaurant was full, the service was very professional, relaxed and helpful. The greatest thing about the evening was the excellent meal: fresh seafood cooked to perfection. We finished the night at the bar where a few regulars were watching the hockey game with the owners. A beautiful experience all around. Strongly recommend.
I recently took some colleagues to dinner at Chez Delmo. The food was excellent - perfectly prepared. Our waiter was very helpful and attentive when the restaurant was pretty empty. Unfortunately, we were forgotten once the majority of tables were filled. Regardless, the waiter was extremely nice, and that one small glitch in a wonderful evening would not stop me from returning. If you like fresh fish and seafood perfectly prepared, this is the place to come.
I had the snow crab salad and it was delicious. We were a group and decided to share entrees. The grilled octopus was a little bit chewy (disappointed with that one) but the salmon carpacio was delicious. Service was very good. It was a quiet night. Can't wait for the summer to go back and enjoy the oysters in season. One of my favourite seafood restaurants in town. Can't beat the freshness!!
excellent service! rien à reprocher, malgré le temps (un peu long) du repas principal, le serveur est venez nous offrir un verre de vin. c'était parfait!
We have been Delmo customers since the late 1960's The new owners have kept most of items that were on the menu at the old Delmo. The entree of Oysters was a very good choice. The salmon was cooked to perfection; the fries are still as good as ever. Desert also very good, although I miss the Pelat Genevois . The service was very good. All in all it was a most enjoyable experience.
congratulations to the new owners! i was a regular at Delmo's for many years, and i will be a regular at the new Delmo. The fish was perfect (halibut provençal) and the lobster was amazing. we will be back soon.
The food was well presented, well prepared and very well served. Service was excellent and the choice of wines very good. An excellent dinner at a restaurant that is of a high standard without being pretentious. Highly recommended.
Delmos is one of my favourite restaurants in Montreal. The lobster is amazing and the service impeccable. We have never been disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant.
great food wonderful service we were there late and never felt rushed it was a perfect night!!
Excellent endroit pour manger des fruits de mer, tout ce que nous avons goûté étaient excellent, les pétoncles fondaient dans la bouche. Ambience très agréable en couple ou en groupe. Excellent service. Nous allons y retourner c'est sûre.
Hit and miss Service (not the first time, and herd similar comments for colleagues). We had to wait quite some time to get the menu on a lunch hour, and there were only 4 tables occupied in the restaurant. I like their food but the ambiance is a bit stuffy. A good option but not my favorite in old Montreal.
The wait staff were attentive and friendly. The food was well prepared and well presented. Prices seem a bit high but overall OK except for the desserts which I feel we're priced way over the top for what was offered. The wine list was medium in size and tended to offer mostly higher priced wine which might limit the choice for some diners. Only about half a dozen in the $50 or lower range. Wile I can find nothing specific to criticize in the service, I did find the delivery a bit 'too staged' with the many participants serving the courses and tending to the table. It was difficult to get a truly warm and intimate ambiance overall. Nevertheless, a thoroughly enjoyable food experience.
Overall very good experience for our group of nine. Appetizers - Seafood salad and clam chowder were excellent. Lobster bisque was a disappoinment - thin and tasteless. Our group had a mixture of Cod (grilled and menuiere) Sea Bass, Halibut and Bavette and all were outstanding. While service was generally very good and timing was ok, particularly given how busy the restaurant was on the Saturday night of F1 weekend, the cheese trays for dessert were late arriving and were not accompanied with cheese knives or additional bread - for some in our group, a very disappointing way to end the meal. Will definitely return to Chez Delmo for the location, ambiance and quality of the both the food and presentation.
We were a party of 8 in town fro Grand Prix weekend. Our first 3 choices were actually booked, and we went here because it looked good and reviewed fairly well. It is even better than Yelp or Open Table advertised. The Salmon tartare was very good (my dish), the Walleye was reported to excellent, and the Lobster Thermidor was top notch. These reviews came from a group of gentlemen who live in New York mostly, and know their seafood very well. It was fresh, well prepared, and plated very well. The owner was extremely helpful beforehand in some questions that came up regarding the reservation, and the staff was likewise very professional and accomodating. It couldn't have been a better dinner.
Had wonderful dinner while in Montreal for Gran Prix weekend, service was excellent and the food delicious.
Been there a few times and the seafood was always very fresh and reasonable portions.
Everything great except slow service..waiters can't be found easily
What a find! Our first experience here but it won't be the last. Delicious food, great wine list. The service was excellent, attentive without intrusion. Elise was very professional and engaging. Loved it!
Been there a few times and have always been very happy with the food, service and atmosphere. i've commented before so this one is for consistency! The lobster thermidor is the best.
Top notch service, very professional waiters and staff. The food was cooked to perfection and the presentation was simple and nice. Overall this is a very pleasant restaurant which offers great value. We will definitely go back!
Service was impeccable as was the food. Polished and efficient. Recommendations from the waiter were excellent as was the wine pairing
Had lunch Chez Delmo with a business acquaintance from Ottawa who didn't know the restaurant. My guest was very pleasantly surprised. The table d'hôte offered an interesting assortment of dishes, whether fish, seafood or meat. The atmosphere was perfect for a quiet discussion. The service was attentive, courteous and done with panache, without being overbearing. The food was excellent, as always. My guest had the seafood salad and I enjoyed the Spanish shrimps. The wine, suggested by our waitress, was a perfect complement to our meal. I'll definitely go back and recommend it to anyone who enjoys fine dining. Chez Delmo is quite simply the best seafood restaurant in the city.
Loved this restaurant. Went here with family on my birthday - they were very attentive and very friendly. The food was outstanding - I recommend the arctic char if they have it on the menu - it melts in your mouth. This was our favoritie restuarant in Montreal - would go back there again!
We had a great time at Delmo's yesterday. We used to go years ago when the place was an institution, and i must say i prefer this new version. The service is friendlier and the menu more interesting, although a lot of the old items are still available. The bisque was amazing, and the halibut was perfect. It's great to see some the regulars sitting at the bar and chatting with the staff as if they were members of a family, everyone seems to know each other. The decor is stunning. Thank you for bringing back this fabulous institution!
Very impressed with the quality of everything, including service. Not the fastest, but if you want a fast food restaurant, there are plenty of those. If you want fresh seafood done right, served with a friendly smile in a nice dining room, this is it. Very comfortable chairs, scenic view, great historic bar, and art on the walls. The wine cellar is beautiful. Overall a great place.
Excellent service, not rushed. Food very good. We had a window seat that allowed view of foot traffic in Old Montreal. A pleasure. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant and would go again in a heartbeat.
We had the salmon tartare. This is my favourite place for this dish in Montreal. Excellent seafood. Excellent service. Beautiful place.
I had dinner Chez Delmo recently. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. The ambiance was perfect, the service was attentive yet discreet and done with flair. The cuisine is Traditional French and the wine list is beautifully composed and with obvious attention to the diner's total experience. The Lobster Bisque was simply perfect, with plenty of lobster meat. I had the Filet-Mignon which was grilled to perfection, was lightly seasoned yet the meat was tasteful and melted in my mouth. I was served a glass of Saint-Estèphe to accompany my meal... wow! And to crown such an epic meal, I had the fondant au chocolat. A must try for any chocolate lover. I will be sure to go back soon.
The food was delicious!!!! The service was great and the ambiance was lovely. It is gastronomic portions so if you are very hungry I would recommend you to eat an entree... Overall, perfect evening diner!
our party of four ordered different appetizers; standout were the calamari. Entrees were scallops, cod, artic char, and filet of sole. All perfectly prepared with not too over the top sauces. Deserts were all delicious; especially the Napoleon. Excellent wine list with a helpful staff. Ownner called that afternoon as I had mixed up our reservation. I believe same great ocation in downtown Montreal for 25 years.
In general very good but desert list is ordinary for that type of restaurant.
Mediocre ambience but outstanding seafood make this a great find near Old Montreal. Small, but very intelligent wine list. Pleasant but slightly hassled service. Overall, a great place.
We had two nights in Montreal and chose Chez Delmo based on its Open Table reviews. The service was good, the food was good, and we enjoyed our evening. The original art and murals on the wall were fun, although I personally was vague on their connection to good French cooking.
Always great food ! Romantic view when sitting near one of the huge windows with view of beautiful old montreal building across the street. Service was a bit slow that evening probably because of Montreal a table event.Great bartender at the bar, very entertaining, showed us a few tricks and made great cocktail.
Our first time in Montreal. We chose Chez Delmo after spending time reading reviews of several restaurants online. We were very glad we picked Chez Delmo. Service was great. Atmosphere was energetic and the food was full of flavour. We recommend to anyone.
Very welcoming staff and elegant decor. The food is fresh, traditionally served, perfectly cooked. The portions are adequate and well presented. The choice on the menu is very impressive: over 20 starters and over 20 entrées of fish or seafood! This is definitely one of the best seafood restaurants we have ever experienced and i would recommend this place to anyone who knows their fish. The bar scene is nice, with younger diners who seem like regulars dropping in for a drink...nice ambience overall
We ate here based on the reviews, we were not disappointed. The freshness of the fish and the care taken to cook it was evident. The lobster rolls are really good, would be happy to eat here again.
From the start, a very welcoming owner sat us at a table by a stunning cellar (the decor in this restaurant is superb, with very artistic murals). Right away we felt good, the place is cozy, elegant and comfortable. But the food! Perfectly prepared fresh fish and seafood. Starters worth trying are octopus, wild salmon carpaccio and fish soup. Entrees we tried: halibut, grilled cod, lobster Newburg and waleye amandin. All were amazing. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Cocktails are a must!! we had ours at the bar where Chris the bartender impressed us with his flamed drinks! Fabulous night overall in this historical restaurant which opened in the 1930s. Highly recommend.
Came here with a friend and we both had fish for dinner. I had the haddock, cooked to perfection, and my friend had the sea bass. We sat at the bar where they had a very knowledgeable and helpful bartender, and their wine list was great. Would definitely come here again whenever Im in the mood for seafood.
Nous avons apprécié l`accueil, le service et la nourriture. Le Fish & chip est particulièrement délicieux et la carte des vins élaborée avec des vins à des prix abordable. Idéal pour le lunch mais aussi ne soirée pour une sortie entre amis. Un service de valet est offert en soirée, un + dans ce secteur.
Great service from Julian. All around great experience. Seafood as good as it gets in Montreal

The Clippers needed a win in New York on Wednesday night to be assured of home-court advantage, but the Clippers decided they needed Chris Paul healthy more.
With Paul sitting out because of mild groin strain, the Clippers staged a late-game comeback but fell to the Knicks, 99-93. The Clippers now must wait to see if Orlando beats the Grizzlies in Memphis on Thursday night, which would secure home-court advantage for Blake Griffin, Paul and the rest of the team.
The Clippers trailed, 90-72, with less than 7:30 to play, but the Clippers stormed back into the game with New York's starters watching from the bench. The Clippers closed to within one in the last minute, but J.R. Smith scored four consecutive points to ice the win for the Knicks.
"We competed," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "The guys battled back. …We gave ourselves a chance."
The Clippers finished the regular season losing three out of four games with all three losses coming on the road.
With Paul out, Eric Bledsoe started at point guard and Randy Foye picked up the scoring load, going for 28 points. Griffin led the Clippers with 29 points, but he struggled from the line, making only 7 of 14.

This guest post is by Keir McCarton, on behalf of Pearson PTE.
The PTE Academic provides the qualifications needed to gain entry into English speaking universities. For this reason the test is designed to fully assess a student's ability to speak, read and write in English. The numbers of international students applying for English speaking universities is growing whilst more and more institutions, even in China, are only accepting English speakers. As the competition grows fiercer, preparing for the PTE Academic is now more important than ever.
The Pearson PTE English test consists of 4 sections: Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening. The aim of this article is to help prepare for the test by describing some of the features and explaining what to expect from the questions in the "Speaking" section of the test. The information provided will go alongside the practice test which can be found here.
Read Aloud
Speak clearly and concentrate on your diction. Use punctuation in the sentences to help figure out when to pause and take a breath. Correctly using pauses will help convey the full meaning of the text, help read fluently and help with rhythm. Certain words carry more importance, so add a stress on these when you speak them. Do this by adding emphasis to key syllables and speaking louder on key words. Show that ideas are linked or coming to an end by using slight rises and falls in the intonation patterns. This also helps form a rhythm.
Repeat Sentence
Scoring for this section is based on producing correct word sequences; understanding more phrases will lead to a better reproduction of the sentence. Listen for words which are stressed as these belong to the more meaningful phrases and will allow you to repeat what you hear more accurately.
Describe Image
An image will be displayed that must be described. Organise all points which need to be said first before speaking out loud, as this will lead to a better score. An organised answer has a better chance of covering the main information and additional details; it will highlight implications and draw conclusions based on the information.
Re-tell Lecture
An image will be displayed followed by a recording. Take a look at the image before the recording is played. This will give a general idea of the topic of the lecture. The time given to repeat the main points of the lecture is 40 seconds. Make good use of this time. Do not repeat ideas, make corrections or hesitate as this will waste valuable time and lose points. Keep talking and do not worry about any mistakes made.
Answer Short Question
Highest scores are awarded for short accurate answers. Do not say more than needs to be said; long answers are not wanted. When speaking, do not pause for too long; otherwise the recording will end. After the question is played, the recording will start; start speaking immediately. If a pause lasts longer than 3 seconds, then the recording will end and the status will change to completed. If you did not finish, then the answer will still be classed as completed, and the "Next" button will need to be clicked.
Speaking the English language can be the hardest of the 4 values to learn and put into practice. This is because we do not have as much time to think about what we are about to say before we say it, unlike when writing. Preparation for the speaking element is very important because in everyday life, speech is what we come to rely on most when trying to communicate with others.

This blog is partially ghost written by a pre-teen. Her parents guard her internet-use very carefully. She is not able to post photos, address, or private details. She is on facebook but all "friends" must be approved by her parents.
Yet in the interest of genealogy, we have been granted permission to transcribe her interview of her grandmother --- therefore it is with great pride we introduce A young person's genealogy interview on Genealogy Is Ruthless Without Me.
Thank you Grandmother, for helping me with this school assignment. I have some questions here that I would like to ask you.
Where did your ancestors come from?
Originally many of my ancestors came from France and Germany pre-1400
Then many of my ancestors had migrated to the United Kingdom pre-1600
But nearly all my ancestors were here on the east coast of the United States by 1776.
Do you know the origin of your family name?
No, not yet.
Tell about any ancestors that you know about --- names. dates, other important historical details-and any stories about them.
I have a lot of information on several of your ancestors. Would it be okay if I just print out the stories I have of them and we could start a binder of ancestor stories?
Who is the oldest person you can remember in your family as a child?
Armenita Clementine Chapin Reed
What do you remember about them?
She was very old by the time I remember her. She had very long hair always braided and circled around her head. I remember one day seeing her with her hair down and it went past her waist. My mother loved her dearly.
Are there any family heirlooms that have been passed from one generation to another? And do you know where they are now?
Well the Family Bibles are very precious to our family. I believe Aunt Doris may have the Hayley-Dikes Bible.
Aunt Carol has the Hayley-Reed Bible.
and maybe Uncle Bert might know where the Cook-Reed Bible is stored.
This question is not on my list of questions; but......
Do all families have Family Bibles? and where do you get them?
Wow wow I just remember your parents have not received a Family Bible. It was very customary for the bride and grooms families to converse before a wedding and decide who would give the Family Bible to the couple. It was always considered an important "wedding gift". In our family; it was Aunt Josephine who usually bestowed the Family Bible on the new couple. The custom now is for a couple to go to a department store and register for their gifts but before department registries (at least in my family); the families would share information and compile a wedding gift list making sure the new couple had all that was needed to start a new home. The Family Bible was always on that list.
Thank you for your answers. Can we have more interviews at another time?
yes of course.
End of Interview
This interview merely scratched the surface of this young person's interest in her family history.
What was important about this interview was the preparation of questions. Having questions already written out for the young genealogist helps the flow of the interview.
Short but mind provoking answers are best when answering a young person's questions. The questions will then lead the young person to where they are interested in learning more.
Rather going into long stories of ancestors; a date to fill a binder full of stories might help the interview to proceed. Plus I really thought it would boost her grade on the project.
When asked about a remembered ancestor keeping it simple is best. Such as I remember being with grandpa in the garden as a child, or grandmother taking me to church. Since this young interviewer is very hair-do conscience I chose to speak about Granny's long hair.
Regarding family heirlooms; good question! It was not important to elaborate as to the fact many heirlooms had been pawned off long ago....lol etc. But it gave me an opportunity to document important information that if my interviewer decided to read in detail her genealogy in the future --- she might find a path to a primary source of information.
This question led to an inquiry that again spoke about family culture and traditions. Where do people get Family Bibles? But it also rambled my own mind on a terrible slip of neglect!!
Needless to say I have just added to my Christmas list! Now to just compile a list of next generation families with no Family Bible!!! A Family Historian's work is never done!!!

Christmas and yesterday when visit oppression in the hospital who was buying eighty years old very good man I knew he was dying.
But somebody had taught me along the way that when you're leaving the hospital as a priest at least a -- tradition that I started.
Through his example I just said mr.

Who doesn't have any family that I could visit and because as a clergy -- they allow me do it and they said -- And there is someone but I know he's not doing well.
-- will take mussina.
And do these two nurses very nervously walked -- for.
And the Sunnis he saw us from about fifteen feet away he started getting very angry very agitated started beating on his.
On -- sad that he was lying there obviously dying.
About 45 years old.

I took one step closer and he started getting furious he pitched he said he's gonna lose he's gonna lose it here and it is -- concerns because -- -- are obviously.
And I prayed god help me to.
Allow him to experience some sort of -- or some sort of peace I took one step closer -- you get more furious.

He repeated Jesus knows my name and Jesus loves me.
By this time for a -- nurses came around.

Nothing that allowed him to accept that god love Tim in new.
Powerful story coming from Father Jonathan Morris one of the most respected people you and all of Fox News for sure in the -- Pacific.

Tools wipe location data from (some) iPhones
Want to wipe location-tracking data that's being stored on your iPhone without your permission? There's an app for that, but you've got to jailbreak your iPhone first.
Several tools have cropped up as a fix for people riled up about the fact that iPhones (and iPads) are surreptitiously logging unencrypted location-related data on the device, including cell tower coordinates, time stamps, cell operator and Wi-Fi networks used, and longitude and latitude from GPS signals--basically a when-and-where of your phone's location going back at least a year.
Police have known about and been using this information, and cellular operators have access to it and can provide it when served with a court order. But anyone with physical access to the phone (and access to a desktop backup of the data) is now able to see an iPhone owner's whereabouts over time.
The fact that consumers don't realize that their phones are recording and storing this information in clear text has come as a big surprise to many people, including consumer advocates who say it's a big privacy violation.
You can hide the data that may be on your desktop by encrypting your iTunes backups. And you can turn off GPS to stop the logging of at least that information, but that doesn't clean up any data stored on the device, and it will severely limit use of the device for location-based services like mapping. There is no way to disable the tracking, because it's baked into the operating system. … Read more
