- Welcome addition to Red BankLoveFishVIPDined on 11/22/2014In a town with lots of good eateries, we were very glad to try Birravino for the first time. The server was exceptional, as was the food, generous portions and fun sitting up on bar stools. I loved the eagerness to please, try before you buy on the wine, and an overall great pre-theater dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food is average, service pretty good, very loudNatCDined on 11/21/2014We had a reservation but waited over half an hour for a table, because they do not tell you up front that many tables are high top or communal seating. We were a couple with a kid free night and wanted a quiet regular table so we had to wait. Tell people up front!! Our waitress was very friendly. The menu was a decent selection but prices were for more high-end food. My risotto was totally bland, no seasoning at all. The sausage dinner was really good and cooked very well. The crowd is everything from kids to seniors but mainly 20-30s. I would go for lunch but not again for dinner. Not worth $100 for 1 app, 2 standard entrees And two drinks (and tip and tax).Special Features:
- High prices for small portions... unimpressive...ParkCitySkierVIPDined on 11/20/2014Just wasn't impressed. The beer selection was good, but the food was very forgettable and the portions were small leaving you unsatisfied. When the dinner arrived, I though we had accidently ordered the lunch portions. I'd had to see how small the lunch portions are! I don't want to walk away stuffed to the gills, but I at least want to feel satisfied that my meal was sufficient in curing my hunger, especially if I'm paying $12 for a side salad and $28 for a dish with one single short rib!Special Features:
- Birravino was disappointingLeslieDined on 11/16/2014The obscene noise level at Birravino combined with the group style seating (long, narrow tables accommodating several parties) makes it impossible to recommend. Although the food was decent, our party was disappointed at the very limited choices for a someone in the party who has a gluten allergy-- this in spite of having called in advance to ask about GF choices (incorrect information given by the person we spoke to). Fortunately the manager was great; he was extremely helpful and offered to make a number of things to accommodate but the anticipated choices were not among them as they were prepared in advance. What we did order was tasty (especially the Caesar salad) and the service was excellent but the whole experience was marred by the noise and failure to be able to order what was expected. Gluten free needs are so common today that perhaps Birravino should rethink their menu to make an expanded one for those with common dietary issues as well as have those answering the phone be better informed. Further, other area restaurants with group seating and a big bar scene creating a high noise volume have much higher ceilings perhaps allowing for the noise level to be less intrusive; at Birravino it just doesn't work.Special Features:
- RebirthOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 11/14/2014We were sad to learn that Basil T's was changing, but it seems to have been a change for the better. All the dishes we loved from their menu seem to be available at Birravino. They were extremely nice about our tardy arrival. Our waiter was very attentive. Their restaurant week menu included an incredible deal on some incredible wines - we even took a case home with us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Same owners, newly renovated!!MuncherVIPDined on 11/12/2014The owners did a really good job renovating Basile T's into their new name, Birravino! Had a really outstanding fall salad with a delicious piece of salmon. Our waitress could've been more attentive but I think they didn't anticipate such a large lunch crowd in her defense! I will definitely be back!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice changeEdwinVIPDined on 11/11/2014The old Basil T Leafs was changed to Birravino. Smaller and cheaper dishes, newer and better brewed beers, more casual ambiance. The change is good and puts them I a better position for the upcoming competition (Gotham, Triumph brewery, Mcloone's, etc).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great Sunday lunchMishDined on 11/9/2014We truly enjoyed our Sunday lunch Italian style and my kitchen stayed clean. Kids had spaghetti and meatballs and loved the chocolate pudding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceLuv2trynewplacesDined on 11/8/2014Loved the atmosphere. Good was great. Smaller portions than most restaurants but just enough. Service was great. We were there early in the evening so don't know how it is later when most people start going out on a Saturday. Will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun new restaurantMargieDined on 11/7/2014We enjoyed our visit to Birravino. The vibe is fun and friendly and the food is earthly and delicious. We especially enjoyed the fresh pastas and greens salad with pomegranates and almonds. We will definitely return, perhaps with a large group.Special Features:
- Delicious pastaOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 11/7/2014I had the Strozzapreti Bolognese for lunch and it was excellent. Perfect al dente pasta and the meat/cheese combination on the sauce was well balanced. My husband had the Rigatoni alla Norma, which was also very tasty. The service was quick and gracious. I loved that you get a bottle of water for the table immediately and never had to ask for it. We had their home brewed beers (Etna and Stout) which were also good, but I found the stout a little too bitter for my taste.Special Features:
- Happy it's still greatOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/1/2014We were nervous that the big change from Basil T's would be too dramatic, but Birravino is great. Comforting Italian dishes, and reasonable wine list. Try the lasagne. I never order lasagne in a restaurant, but couldn't resist this one. Enjoy.Special Features:
- UpgradeMiddletownManVIPDined on 10/31/2014The owners upgraded from the previous Basil T's concept, which had become stale, and have created a solid new bar and grill. We started with the pasta fagioli soup which was excellent. For the main course, I had the flank steak which was delicious, my wife had a pizza which was good. We finished it off with the tiramisu, which we both loved. They have a great wine list, and brew some of their own beers. Overall a great place.Special Features:
- Good timeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014My husband and I went to dinner at Birravino Oct.25th and had a lovely time. The food was excellent, fun atmosphere and our waiter, Patrick, was attentive without hovering. Will go back!Special Features:
- VERY NICE RESTAURANTPOTATOESVIPDined on 10/24/2014The décor was very nice and the food was good. Our waitress fine, but a little slow. Great place for a business luncheon. We enjoyed our lunch and will back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will come back...PhilDined on 10/22/2014We came in for dinner as we were customers at Basil T's numerous times. The food my husband and I had was excellent...the eggplant & rigatoni and the pumpkin ravioli. The antipasto was also very good. For us, we were disappointed for dessert. At Basil T's, my family & I loved the chocolate gelato & hoped to have that again. (Gelato was in between 2 cookies). We settled with the pistachio flavor which was just not the same! Please bring back the chocolate gelato!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unfortunately, not worth the priceKsoll23Dined on 10/21/2014I was so excited to try a new restaurant in Red Bank. This location was previously Basil T's which was always a great spot with good food and good craft beer, so I was surprised that a new restaurant was taking its place. So on to Birravino - The food is excellent (I ordered the lasagna) and service was great, but the new tables/chairs are beyond terrible. It might look cool, but is not comfortable at all - everyone in our group complained about how uncomfortable they were. Also, they served the bread in a paper wrapper right on the table - a bit strange - it should definitely be served on a plate. Lastly, considering the restaurant is called Birravino, the wine selection is very disappointing.Special Features:
- Birravino is just okwifesabrucefanVIPDined on 10/19/2014Birravinno is a concept restaurant combining food, beer and wine. The result is mixed. Food is high quality and moderately priced. Wine is also reasonable. The beer, however, is overpriced. I do like the renovations from the previous fantastic restaurant. Although I will go less now, I probably still will go.Special Features:
- Lunch & Dinner Experiences Greatdbug216Dined on 10/18/2014The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the service was slow. My friend and I weren't in a hurry, but really wanted a bottle of wine and we were starving to at least nibble. The wait staff is great though. Pleasant and friendly. The food was terrific, and being a vegetarian, there was plenty for me to choose from. Of course customizing a few things; which they had no problem with. We enjoyed our girl night out!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ShortyDined on 10/17/2014Appetizer was great..dinner was not so great. Very noisy with a mediocre wine list. Really miss basil T'S which catered more to a romantic evening out..did not feel it was worth the price..left feeling disappointedSpecial Features:
- New, Good, will probably improveVinceTinNJVIPDined on 10/17/2014We at early; arrived around 5:10pm. We were seated quickly but it took a while for our waiter to come over to us even with about 5 of them congregating in the dining room with nothing to do. The seating is uncomfortable. Ours were stainless steel. Not all were. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The food was good. Newer Italian restaurant sauces can be over salted and over cooked but the food had great flavor. But I liked the flavors of the Italian food I was served and the vinaigrette on the salad was very nice and balanced. The meatballs could have been more dense and needed some more seasoning. I think everything was encouraging for a first visit. I will try them again, but I'll be sure to ask for a better seat.Special Features:
- We will go againNachoGX9000Dined on 10/13/2014Very cool, fun Italian bistro, excellent food with a very good beer & wine lists, can't wait to go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentAlexDined on 10/11/2014At first I was concerned of the change because I was a big fan of Basil Ts. But after giving it a shot I was pleasantly surprised. The food was awesome and service was great. The renovation inside and out is beautiful. You feel like your eating somewhere in Italy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants great food and an array of wines. They also brew there own beer. How could you go wrong, I definitely give Birravino an A++++Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Work in progressrichieDined on 10/11/2014The revised concept of the former basil T's is ok but the execution leaves much to be desired at the ment. I always thought bAsil's was seriously underrated. Now it has fallen back and I don't understand why since it's a similar menu with smaller portions and somewhat lower prices. Maybe they will work put the kinks soon. Hope so.
- Eh.ShrDnrDined on 10/10/2014The food is excellent, menu is similar to the old Basil T's...unfortunately the portions are now tiny, especially considering the prices aren't much cheaper. It's also insanely loud...I'm guessing it has a lot to do with the new industrial look. Exposed metal everywhere with nothing to absorb the sound means you'll probably leave with a headache.Special Features:
- Too lively...SarabVIPDined on 10/10/2014Revised Basil T is attractive with varied tables..high low, small, group. We luckily got a 4 top early. Server woman welcomed us..seemed fine but the whole time she seemed to be rushing us along....as if it's Friday night, I need to churn the table. Food was ok,nothing special. Grilled calamari flavorful , spicy. We shared a pizza with veggies....fluffy crust but topping a bit dry and lacking clear flavors...maybe the breadcrumbs were the downfall. Server brought our bill....it was not ours.....when we told her...she just tore it up...and was not apologetic. As if she tried to pull if off...no we aren't paying a $120 bill...finally she brought ours at $60. Place is very very loud....no need to rush back, despite being a lively spot.Special Features:
- Not that much of a changeOpenTable Diner Since 2014VIPDined on 10/6/2014I was a follower of the previous restaurant so I was particularly curious about trying, and see the changes. The room is refreshed, with a younger decor. Service is at his same level, and food kept up with the change. Portions are smaller. My only, and biggest disapointment were the desserts. Not only they got rid of that amazing chocolate cake, but also the new ones weren't anything to rave about. Plus, from a managing perspective, I belive you could sell more if you keep bringing the tray since the eyes also "eat".Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New name, same great placeSUZEVIPDined on 10/4/2014the exterior and interior may have gotten an updated industrial look, but the place is still the same. Always good food, good service. I do like the new more open plan dining area. Can get very loud though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not Sure Why They ChangedKatiegDined on 10/2/2014Formerly Basil's, now Birravino. The cheese platter app should be called Piccolo Formaggi because it's minuscule!! I ordered the sole special, my friend ordered salmon off the menu. Both entrees were not hot. There were a few dishes from Basil's that we miss on the new menu such as the broccoli raabe and Fettuccine Bolognese. It was lively but acoustics are not forgiving. I'm very happy they accept reservations via open table...a big plus. I'll def give another try.Special Features:
- Nice makeoverCocoLocoDined on 9/28/2014We always loved the restaurant when it was Basil's, but now we love it even more. It's a little noisy, it was tolerable and the service was a little slow, but we were in no hurry. We had the salad special and rice balls for starters and both were outstanding. For dinner, the potato pizza, vegetarian pizza and the Sunday gravy. All were delicious. Desserts were good too. The chocolate pudding with hazelnuts and caramel was really nice, as was the pistachio gelato. We also had the biscotti, which were a little dry, but the nicely flavored cannoli cream helped. Even the coffee was great. We've already made another reservation to go back!Special Features:
- Delicious but noisyDelneese1Dined on 9/27/2014The food and service were excellent but the noise level was ridiculous hard to hold any type of conversation. Our server had to repeat everything she said at both ends of the table. They should look into finding a way to keep the noise from bouncing off the ceiling. Otherwise I woul have given five stars.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great experienceItstheschistDined on 9/26/2014Overall wonderful experience from the moment we entered to the food, service. The new look is great. I like it better over Basil T. Fried olives, bolonaise and flat bread excellent. We'll be backSpecial Features:
- Stunning Food - wonderful service!LondonycVIPDined on 9/22/2014Absolutely love this place!! Wish I could go millions of times per day. Pizza bianca was delicious. Olive appetiser is amazing. Can't say enough good things!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nicely done.. Very nicely doneRoSoVIPDined on 9/21/2014Our sever Alex was outstanding. She had great eye contact and talked up the specials, one of which we ordered. The sauce with rigatoni, sausage, and meatball. Wow! It was great. My wife had the salmon and our 10yr old son had the chicken parm. ALL of our plates were clean ! Would come back at the next chance !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A SURE BETSaraVIPDined on 9/19/2014This restaurant was just updated. It looks much more current now with a more open and energetic vibe. The food is outstanding . You can get reasonable bottles of wine and great food! Eat anything from a salad to a hearty meal. Great pizza, meatballs, fish, pasta. One of my favorite restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingFoodie4FunVIPDined on 9/18/2014The renewed space looks. They opened up the main dining area very nicely. However, the remodeling also seemed to apply to the food. The prices remained the same, if not higher yet the portions seem t have gotten smaller. The prices are not worth the trip. And, the place is as loud as it ever was. Would be suitable enough for 1st time people, but for us who frequented the old Basil T's, it was disappointing.
- So loud I wouldn't return.SwissdogmomVIPDined on 9/17/2014The excellent food is completely overshadowed by the poor dining experience caused by excessive noise. The acoustics of the dining room make it impossible to hold a conversation, and we all left with a headache. I might order food to go, but will not return to sit in the dining room. The bar was actually quieter, and that is not saying much!Special Features:
- Very nice make-overfijixmVIPDined on 9/13/2014Visited on Saturday, first weekend opened. Service was excellent. Food was excellent. A little noisy inside, not much to absorb the sound. Very pleased and definitely recommended.Special Features:
- Will Go backOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/12/2014Food was excellent, Main dish is not that much so you have to order sides if your hungry. The pork saltimbocca as excellent! The new room is very noisy. they need to tone that down as it was hard to have a conversation.Special Features:
- Terrific, affordable foodFunforTwoDined on 9/10/2014The menu is great and the food terrific. They have kept the prices reasonable by not serving huge meals that you end up taking half of it home. Yet the portions are sufficient to satisfy you.Special Features:

Baylor cruises past Arkansas in super regional
By ESPN.com wire services
WACO, Texas -- Logan Vick homered twice and Trent Blank scattered seven hits over eight innings as Baylor beat Arkansas 8-1 on Saturday in the opener of their super regional series.
The Bears (49-15) can earn their first trip to the College World Series since 2005 with a win over the Razorbacks (42-20) on Sunday.
Josh Ludy added a home run, while Max Muncy and Cal Towey each had two doubles and a single as Baylor racked up 12 hits against three Arkansas pitchers.
The Bears gave Blank (11-1) an early lead when Razorbacks starter DJ Baxendale (7-5) hit Nathan Orf -- the leadoff hitter's school-record 35th hit by pitch this season -- and Vick followed with a two-run homer.
Ludy added insurance in the third with his team-high 16th homer. Muncy and Towey followed with doubles off the wall in right to make it 4-0.
Vick's two-out homer in the fourth made him only the second Baylor player to homer twice in an NCAA tournament game, and the first to do it in a super regional game. Steve Macko hit a pair against New Orleans in a regional game in 1977.
Dominic Ficociello, who had three of the Razorbacks' seven hits off Blank, ended the shutout bid with an RBI double in the sixth inning.

Everybody Solar has exceeded my expectations in every way. When founder Youness Scally first told me his idea for a solar power charity I wondered if he had any idea how much work it would be. I sure didn't, and I don't think he did either, but two years later he has taken Everybody Solar from a dream to a real living nonprofit, doing great things and well on the way to funding its first big solar installation. As a board member I have been impressed at every turn with the level of transparency and longterm thinking in the organization's decision making process, and at the passion of the volunteers for the group's mission to bring clean renewable energy independence to those who need it most. I expect to see big things from Everybody Solar for many many years to come.
More feedback
Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?

The judgement was made in 1999. My ex-husbands was ordered to pay 1700.00 and 10% annual interest if not paid. He never paid so I recently filed a motion for the judge to total what he owes me. We have a future court date. He hired an attorney and the attorney called me telling me I'm a little to late to collect and that he paid me? My question is am I to late and if not what can I do?
California Family Code Section 291 provides that a money judgment entered under the Family Code, including a Judgment for Child, Family or Spousal Support, is enforceable until paid in full or otherwise satisfied. In an action to enforce a judgment for Child, Family or Spousal Support, the defense of laches may be raised only with respect to a support obligation owed to the state. The 1986 Federal Bradley Amendment also overrides any state Statute of Limitations on Child Support. Some years back (I don't recall when), there was a 10-year Statute of Limitations on enforcement of support obligations, which was subsequently repealed, either by the predecessor of Family Code Section 291, or by Family Code Section 291 itself. As to support arrearages which were 10 years overdue as of the effective date of the repealing statute, there may be a question as to the retroactivity of the repealing statute - if it isn't retroactive, then support obligations that were over 10 years overdue as of the repealing statute's effective date might not be collectible. Section 291's effective date was 2006, so the support obligation which your question addresses should be fully enforceable, in any event. You would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you in your enforcement proceedings.
Mr. Conviser is correct-- support judgements now are "evergreen" although some arguments have been made on the issue of "laches." HOWEVER the judge will not " total what he owes me"-- you must do that. Each payment starts to accrue the 10% simple interest as of the day it was not made so it is a fairly complex process assessing what it owed. (IF this was for support.)
if it was $1700 due as a division of community property it is barred by the 10 year statute.
Was this for child support or spousal support? Why did you wait this long to seek enforcement? Were any efforts made by you over the last 13 years?

Vote for…Osgood?
I know that I haven't been on HTR for a while now, but I needed to bring this up. We all remember the "Vote for Rory" campaign last year, right? Where every Canuck fan who was worth his dollar, and every other NHL fan who wanted to see a journeymen sent to the All-Star game rallied to get him there– and they almost did, but one of the main points that he didn't was because a lot of people didn't think he deserved it.
Auld A Bruin
According to TSN.ca, the Phoenix Coyotes have shipped Goaltender Alex Auld to the Boston Bruins, in exchange for Nick DiCasmirro and a 5th round selection in the 2009 Entry Draft.
Top 15 Teams So Far
With about 25 games into the season some teams really suprised the league and alot of fans. Heres the Top 15 right now in my opinion:
1/3rd season complete. Atlantic and Central divisions are tops.
Last year, the only division to send 4 teams to the playoffs was the Atlantic. To date, this trend looks to continue, which shouldn't surprise many. What is surprising, perhaps, is the fact that the Central division also currently holds 4 playoff spots.
In fact, the Atlantic and Central divisions are the only two divisions where each team has a winning record (defined here as more wins in regulation than loses in regulation, and also more total points than games played).

Gainey Carbo on the go??
It seems like Ground Hog Day the movie. It was at this time last year when Montreal played the Wings in Detroit. It was just as embarassing as yesterday. After the game Carbonneau says « Muller and I can't lace up the skates and play!!! Our goalies have to be better!!!» Well maybe its time to teach Carbo new tricks because his methods have not given any results.
Higgins not untouchable
Carbonneau mentioned something very interesting about Higgins when interviewed before the game. He said he's not proving to be the guy who should be playing with Koivu. Personally, I see it the other way around, but Higgins would be way more interesting to other teams than guys like Ryder or Koivu. Nobody ever talks about Higgins in these trade rumors but a guy with his potential and with his contract could be worked into a deal to get the team somebody better.

For me, retirement planning means more than providing my clients with investment advice. It means helping them maintain the financial independence they've worked their whole lives to achieve. It means striving to ensure they have the means to pursue what's most important to them. And it means understanding them as people with unique goals, values and circumstances that determine the strategies I develop on their behalf.
My consultative process begins with an in-depth discussion of your current finances and future objectives. We'll address issues you might have overlooked that can have a significant impact on your ability to retire as planned. Finally, we'll determine how we can help you adjust your investment strategy as necessary to accommodate changing conditions and meet any unforeseen expenses and income demands that may arise during retirement.

More than any other street artist, the work of the mysterious Banksy has infiltrated our culture, spinning off tributes, from animated GIFs of his wall-based work to real-life reenactments of his characters. Photographer Jeff Friesen's tribute to the artist is small on scale, but big on creativity. He's been using his daughter June's extensive LEGO collection to remake and remix a large number of Banksy's work in miniature – and it's fantastic stuff. [Read more…]

Creating Sea-Inspired Sculptures from Beach Trash
What do you do with 11 tons of beach debris on the Pacific coast? You make it into art! Oregon based artist and teacher Angela Haseltine Pozzi created a project called "Washed Ashore" aimed at raising awareness about plastic pollution and marine debris. Pozzi, like other members of her community in Bandon, Oregon were continually shocked at the amount of trash that would wash up on their beautiful coastlines. Inspired to take steps toward solving the problem, she rallied together concerned citizens to not just clean up the beach trash, but to create from it. [Read more…]
The Desert Wizards Need Your Help to Bring an Astronomical Observatory to Burning Man
A group of scientists, engineers, and space geeks, better known as The Desert Wizards of Mars on the Playa, are hoping to bring a full size astronomical observatory to Burning Man this year. At last year's burn, the Desert Wizards could be found riding their Mars Rover Art Car 'Dustiny' which broadcast live footage of the burn over the internet for all to see. This year they want to bring the Black Rock Observatory- a planetarium without a ceiling- using a giant Newtonian telescope (9 feet tall, 20 inches in diameter) which will "provide views that will expand minds, widen perspectives and open consciousness." Viewers will see the Rings of Saturn and 5 of its moons, polar ice caps on Mars, the Galilean Moons of Jupiter, and faint galaxies too dim for the naked eye. [Read more…]
Everyday Objects Transformed into Whimsical Characters
If everywhere you look there are faces staring back, you're not alone. For the past 10 years French artist Gilbert Legrand has been finding the hidden characters in everyday objects and revealing them with paint. His whimsical vision sees all sorts of household objects become things they were not: a coat hanger becomes a mouse sporting shoes; a paintbrush transforms into a teen with an attitude (and a wicked hairdo); and the blades of some scissors get amorous.

The impressive artwork you see here employs an ancient 4000-year-old mideast glass technique called murrine. Using long rods of glass cane, intricate patterns can be built into a loaf like form, only revealing the hidden details when a slice is cut off. While you've probably seen the technique used in patterned glasswork at your local art gallery, you've never seen the astounding level of detail achieved in these reinterpreted paintings from Loren Stump.

Illusion of LifeIllusion of Life9 years ago in Fantasy More Like This
The quarter moon hung in the sky, bright against the black velvet background of the early night. It was a winter moon, low and large, and had risen early. A figure slender sat almost unnoticed on the concrete wall that lined the entrance to the T Station, as they called the subway in the Northeastern town. A man's black fedora was pulled low over her face, a sharp contrast to the thick shining blonde hair that hung loose beneath, save the small braid in the back woven with dull silver beading. A bomber jacket of black leather with a collar of matching fur topped the long legs garbed in black jeans. Her hands, delicate and petite, were covered in leather gloves trimmed at the cuffs also with fur, both the same color as the jacket. Through eyes of dark gold the figure peered at the passerby's, watching them, listening to them, occasionally canting her head ever so slightly as to allow her a better view of one that peaked her interest, but only for a moment.

under whom so many of us study.
Pleasing is the sensation of self inflicted pain.
No matter the medium;
metal to an arm,
bile breaking a throat,
repetitions of St. Agnes.
Like God she gazes, prideful of that which she has created,
and she says it is good.
We see the twisting grin,
the bust that swells.
Repeat our actions we must
a thousand times.
Until our bodies refuse to flinch,
reveal no pain.
Then we can show her; the mistress to Beelzebub,
we too may master the art of sweet agony.
The Dark Lady will point a chapped finger,
more she will push for
Lady Death gives opiates to the masses;
blinded and willing, in turn the masses
shackle the bodies, naked to the ceiling.
Willing to feel Lady Sting, Lady Scorch.
Longing to die for her,
in both fire and ice.
Revelations would hit her, manifestations.
Lady Masochism will fall silent,
at this precious epiphany,
'there are other masters of her art.'

You come to me in twilight
You are fashioned from flesh and from silk
Yet your grip is wrought iron
I know your gaze well
It chills me to my spine
Yet your soft whisper leaves me flush and burning
You tempt me mock me thrill me and discard me
Your cruel instruction not a lesson learned
But a lesson engraved in my flesh
By your dull blade shall my blood spill
By your taunts and torments I loathe and yearn
The oddest moment of clarity
Stolen by your bitter seduction
The purity of desire misinterpreted as innocence
The wry smile of understanding spreads across my dry cracked lips
I prepare to feed from you
I want to taste the essence of your sweet milk
Yet you withdraw from me
You leave me alone in a dark chamber

We were broken, and we were in love,
And after ends, it wasn't enough,
And we had mouths, but we never spoke,
I told you to care, but you told me to choke,
We took it all, and we never looked back,
For after December, we lost the tact,
Holding our faces, but not one another,
This was our life, this was forever,
You hurt me, and you never begged,
I never looked back, and I never said,
"This is enough, we need to stop,"
Because I felt low, and you were on top,
My hands bled, and your back snapped,
I took the pity, and you stayed damned,
We made the lock, we ignored the sign,
I ruined your life, and you ruined mine,
I lost hope, and you lost intrigue,
Foraying the feelings, forgetting the deed,
Our legs dropped, and our heads fell,
And our ears panged, to our broken bell.

This year's World Water Day marks the launch of the 5th United Nations World Water Development Report (WWDR) on the theme of water and energy. Coal remains a top energy producer world-wide. Its connection to water is a parasitic one. It drains our precious water supplies and spits back polluted skies, lakes, streams and rivers, both in its processing and production. The following pictures are a journey through the lives of people (their homes and their lands) who have been directly affected by coal power production. These are people and places which already suffer from water-scarcity but now see their livelihoods and health hung in the balance of an outmoded means of energy production.
A worker at the MNS Informal Settlement coal washing station in Mpumalanga, Emalahleni, South Africa, stands alongside water that has already being used. Water pollution from coal is a serious problem in South Africa and deepening a water scarcity crisis. A million households currently live without access to the minimum 25 liters of water per person per day; a further 2 million people's water supply is below basic service standard. This has in turn threatened social stability - the number of service delivery protests driven by water scarcity has increased sharply in recent years.

With another tax season under way, Internal Revenue Service officials are providing agencies with their annual reminder of the value of good marketing.
Late last month, IRS officials reported that electronic tax filing was up 8 percent compared to the same date in 2003, setting the pace for yet another record year for electronic filing. And the number of taxpayers e-filing on their own, rather than using a professional service, was up 23 percent, totaling 6.6 million returns.
These trends reflect the planning that went into the e-filing program. Had the IRS not put such a strong focus on the usability and visibility of its systems, tax filing likely would have leveled off several years ago.
Any e-government system will naturally attract early adopters who are drawn to anything new and different and are willing to deal with a few bugs. Put up a Web site, and those users will find it.
But to broaden that audience it takes old-fashioned marketing — letting the intended audience know what services are available, where to find them and what benefits to expect.
IRS officials have steadily increased the number of e-filers by promoting the option aggressively in every available way. Agency officials clearly view every taxpayer as a potential e-filer and are willing to spend the money needed to keep the e-filing message in front of them.
Marketing is not something that comes naturally to most agencies
nor should every agency open a marketing department and increase their budget. But agencies that can make a business case for electronic services — either by reducing the costs of those services or supporting them through user fees — should figure marketing into that equation.
This is not only true for services offered to the general public. Too often we hear from state and local agencies that they were not aware of information and services offered by the federal government.
It's true that most e-government systems do not have the same market potential as e-filing and therefore do not justify similar investments. But the broader the potential benefits, the more agencies should invest. An agency that gets into the business of providing services online needs to think of it more like a business.

"Keep it really clean and sanitize"
"We got really sick and caught flu from the cleaning staff. If the cleaning staff is sick then ask them to stay home instead of cleaning every room and spreading the flu. I have seen your staff coughing and being really sick walking around making beds. Why did your management allow this? Hotel room and bathroom were not really clean. They just looked clean."

Was a bit disappointed that morning continental breakfast wasn't as good as before. I enjoyed the eggs & sausage.

Dr. Jim Garrow wore many hats in his 45-year career, including college president, principal of a teacher's college, businessman, and author. In his spare time, Garrow functioned as a CIA operative in China.
In the course of his career, he established the Bethune Institute's Pink Pagoda Schools, (1) ultimately saving nearly 50,000 Chinese girls from gendercide. The Bethune Institute operates hundreds of schools in China, educating the children of many of China's military and political leaders.
Humorously, when Mr. and Mr. Obama traveled to China earlier this year to inquire as to whether or not their daughter would like to attend the Bethune Institute, they were politely informed that they were not welcome.
In 2009, Garrow was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Unfortunately, his long list of heroic deeds paled in comparison to Barack Obama's many documented heroic accomplishments in fostering peace throughout the world.
It was Garrow who went on the interview circuit last year, revealing to America that the President of the United States was putting the country's most valuable military officers to a litmus test. (2) Each was questioned whether, in the circumstance where leadership above them—up to and including Obama—gave them the order to go and confiscate arms, in spite of the Second Amendment, would they obey the orders of their officers and confiscate those arms?
This test was a quick and dirty way for Obama to rid the military of its most prized officers. Headlines began to appear almost daily, announcing the "retirement" of this country's greatest patriots, each with its own phony story of how that particular general or admiral violated some concocted regulation.
Some of the names that graced the headlines were:
- Rear Adm. Charles M. Gaouette: (3) led Carrier Strike Group Three, including the U.S.S. John C. Stennis—profanity in public and making "racially insensitive comments"
- Maj. Gen. Ralph Baker: (4) commander of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa—loss of confidence
- Brig. Gen. Bryan T. Roberts: (5) Commanding General of Fort Jackson—adultery and a purported physical altercation
- Vice Adm. Tim Giardina: (6) deputy commander of U.S. nuclear forces—allegations of the use of counterfeit chips at an Iowa casino
- Maj. Gen. Michael Carey:(7) led the 20th Air Force, the division responsible for three wings of intercontinental ballistic missiles—alleged misconduct involving alcohol
- Maj. Gen. Charles Gurganus and Maj. Gen. Gregg Sturdevant: (8) failure to take adequate security measures in the Sept. 2012 insurgent attack on Camp Bastion. USA today commented
Obama thereby accomplished exactly what he was trying to do. He replaced the greatest military in the world with an army of traitors and homosexuals. Perhaps he'll be nominated for the next Nobel Prize, as well.
But wait, it gets better.
"Bathhouse Barry," as Garrow refers to our Traitor in Chief, was not pleased when Garrow spilled the beans. Needless to say, after45 years of service, Garrow was canned for his courage and forfeited all well-deserved benefits and pension.
What cowards like "Barry" don't get about heroes is that the more you challenge them, the more they step up to the plate. Garrow's next interview circuit revealed yet another demonic, traitorous plot. (9) Most likely with pressure from his handlers (Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod) to get the whole population reduction thing out of the way, Obama orchestrated the perfect plan to set off three nukes to generate an EMP attack that would devastate all computer-related systems on the continent. The expected result was the death of 300 million Americans within a year.
November 2013, Garrow wrote the following on his Facebook (10) page:
Three individuals have just saved 300 million lives in the past 2 weeks. They saved the 90% of the population that would be dead if Bathhouse Barry had not been stopped from using 3 nuclear devices against the American populace.
Two Army Generals and 1 Navy Admiral, whose duties included the safeguarding and oversight of the nuclear arsenal. Obama ordered that 3 nukes be transported in a major breach of protocol and safety regulations of long standing.
He wanted it NOW, and these officers were made aware of what the intention was. The admiral had the one Navy nuke taken 200 miles off South Carolina and detonated deep in the ocean. The other 2 nukes disappeared thanks to the handiwork of the 2 Generals, the numbers 1 and 2 men in charge of the Army ordinance.
These three men are heroes of the highest order. Look up the events of 2 Generals and 1 Admiral being dismissed in the past two weeks and you will find their names. They saved your lives and the lives of 300 million of your fellow citizens.
The guy just doesn't seem to ever give up. Perhaps, it's his Muslim, inbred hatred for the United States of America that keeps him going like the Energizer bunny. Maybe it's Valerie. At any rate, thanks to his opening of our southern borders, along with the releasing of five deadly terrorists (at least one of whom has been spotted in Texas), the U.S. has been invaded with Muslims. This, of course, does not include the Russians and Chinese who he's been bringing over here by the thousands.
But I digress.
Dave Hodges reported July 27, (11) on his recent interview with Garrow, wherein Garrow revealed what Obama currently has up his sleeve. Hodges wrote:
I interviewed former CIA operative, Dr. Jim Garrow, about a planned attack upon multiple shopping malls inside of the United States which will be similar in scope to what happened in Nairobi with the attack on just the one mall. In fact, Dr. Garrow says that Nairobi was the beta test for what's coming to shopping malls inside the United States, except for what is going to happen here, will dwarf the Nairobi event.
Since Dr. Garrow's first revelation about the coming series of terrorist actions, more information is coming to light regarding the operation. The end game is martial law with, as we have suspected, the UN in charge. The mall attacks are the precursor event and this is explained in the recording.
For nearly two years, I have maintained that the United States was going to be attacked by Russia and China and that both countries were maintaining a covert troop presence on U.S. soil for this express purpose.
The facts surrounding the Garrow account confirm my beliefs and facts. The connections, between my private sources regarding the illegal immigration invasion and a Fifth Column insurgency designed to plunge America into martial law as well as Jim Garrow's mall attack revelations are stunning and are all contained within this short one hour recording. The interview commences 6 minutes into the recording. Here is the link (12) to the one-hour Dr. Jim Garrow interview.
That's not the best part, however. In an interview (13) with J.J. McCartney, Aug. 5, Garrow confirmed that, "They already have the list of malls. They know the list of just over 100. I think it's 103; they aren't listed by number. But, yeah, they've got that list. So why call me?"
Does Barry's track record imply that he will release this information so that the public can protect itself? Don't count on it.
Ultimately, neither he nor his many Muslim "advisors" are to blame, however. It is the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate who unleashed this monster and are too cowardly to stop him. And that means that we are to blame, for we allow them to stay in office.
Remember that, this November.

HAMA Study Documents Growing Revenue Acquisition Costs Outpacing Hotel Revenue Growth
Wednesday August 20th, 2014 - 9:42AM W

BOSTON—Hospitality Asset Managers Association (HAMA) has revealed the results of a multi-year study that demonstrates that revenue acquisition costs outpaced hotel revenue growth from 2009 through 2012. The results were presented in "The Rising Costs of Customer Acquisition," a white paper commissioned in late 2013.
The white paper includes an analysis of the financial results of 104 upper-upscale and luxury managed properties with brand affiliations in the U.S. and Canada. According to the association, it specifically looks at both the external costs of brand allocations (for marketing, advertising, major promotions, national and global sales offices and loyalty programs) and third party commissions (for group and transient bookings), as well as the internal costs of marketing and sales programs, including local marketing, sales staffing and other expenses, including reservations staff.
From 2009 to 2012, the room revenue of this group increased by 23%, almost 7% compounded annually; the cost of customer acquisition from 2009 through 2012 grew almost as quickly as revenue, at just under 23%, according to the company.
The study also found that while total customer acquisition costs rose by 23%, brand allocations grew by 37% and third-party commissions by 34%. Meanwhile, local property marketing (including property specific Internet and paid search) increased by only 6%, or less than 2% per year.
Other findings include the following, according to the association: As a result of the disproportionate growth of external marketing and sales costs, properties now control less of their marketing spend (44% versus 49% in 2009); For the top 10 brands included in this study, cost increases during the three years ranged from a low of 10% to a high of 72%; and room revenue of franchised properties grew by just under 22% during the 2009-2012 time frame, but their total acquisition costs rose by almost 27%, driven by increases in commissions of 48% and brand allocations of 36% and mitigated by on-property spend of only 15%.

KNICKS' THOMAS EXPECTED TO BE FOUND GUILTY IN CASE: Although the official verdict hasn't been announced, it is expected that Isiah Thomas will be found guilty of sexual harassment.
CBS NEWS reports that jurors in the case handed the judge a note on Monday, indicating they plan to decide against the Knicks' coach and Madison Square Garden in the lawsuit brought about by ex-employee Anucha Browne Sanders.
Sanders was suing Thomas and the team's parent company for $10 Million. She said she suffered unwanted sexual advances by the coach, then was given the pink slip in 2006 when she complained about the treatment.
Jurors had reached decisions on 8 of the 9 questions on the jury form, deadlocking on the issue of Isiah having to pay punitive damages to the accuser. The judge postponed deliberations until Tuesday, when the official verdict will likely be announced.

This is my OC Remy. She's seventeen and best friends with Brigid: <da:thumb id="489529235">.
Remy is half fairy and half human and her glamour is very strong. She has a lot of potential and makes some of the best illusions in the city! She's not too interested in cultivating that talent, though. What she likes doing most is taking photographs for her supernatural street fashion blog, where she features the daily outfits of witches, fairies, angel-bloods, and other assorted magical humanoids.
Remy is dyspraxic, so she wears a lot of clothes that she can just pull on. Buttons and shoelaces are the bane of her existence, but zippers are okay. And since she is a fairy, she is allergic to iron, so she has to avoid shoes and belt buckles and other accessories made of iron. Even with her clothing restrictions she is very fashion-conscious and always manages to find comfy and easy-to-wear clothing that looks rad as hell at the same time.
Remy is also dyslexic, which is a big contributing factor to why she dropped out of public high school and got her diploma through correspondence courses instead. Since discovering audiobooks she has become a voracious reader, and you can frequently find her lounging in the grass at the park with her earbuds in, listening to the latest in YA dystopian sci-fi.
Remy is asexual and aromantic, but it's not something she thinks about a lot. It just is. She values her familial relationships and her friendships above everything else. She is loyal, loving, and kind-hearted. She is well-meaning but a bit of a flake when it comes to appointments, pre-planned events, parties… She just forgets, okay? She's chronically late for everything.
Some random facts about Remy:

- Studio: Buena Vista Pictures

His needle, however, skips the love groove when his long-time girlfriend, Laura (Hjejle), walks out on him. As he examines his failed attempts at romance and happiness, the process finds him being dragged, kicking and screaming, into adulthood. (Touchstone Pictures)… Expand

A guaranteed pleasure for anyone who ever loved pop music, owned a record collection or suffered in love
The extent to which Black and Louiso help make this film terribly witty and caustic and worth every minute of its almost two-hour running time is immeasurable.
High Fidelitys hip structure and offbeat characters provide consistent laughs and a good time.
Even if it sometimes skips, it's consistently wittier and more idiosyncratic that most studio movies.
It may seem perverse to fault a movie for being too accurate, but when surface accuracy is coupled with tunnel vision about self and society the result is a wee bit irritating.

The secret to making a good film is the soundtrack and this film nails it. Its a story of heartache, love and the bits inbetween told pretty much first person by a Record Store owner.
The characters in the film are padded out well and do draw you in and you begin to feel who they are rather than empty vessels. There are some nice little double take moments and moments where the plot is directly told to camera. These feel correct in the context of the film and explain emotions and thoughts of the people on screen. Casting fits well with Jack Black doing his normal over the top character, John cusack as the confused Store owner. Even a Cameo by 'The Boss' Bruce Springsteen does not feel out of place. All in all a good solid film which I have watched several times and enjoyed them all.… Expand
