Macy'sRead MoreThanks in part to Miracle on 34th Street, the classic Christmas film, and its annual Thanksgiving Day Parade, Macy's has been immortalized in the minds of generations of Americans. It's hard to imagine that Macy's was once a small storefront operation founded by a businessman whose previous stores had failed. But success was just around the corner. Origin Eleven dollars and six cents. That was the total of first-day sales when Macy's opened its doors in 1858. Of course, at that time, it wasn't a retail superpower?it was a small dry-goods store on the corner of 14th Street and 6th Avenue in New York City. Before founding that little shop, Rowland Hussey Macy had suffered several failed retail ventures. This time, things would turn out differently. Growth By 1877, R.H. Macy & Co. had become a full-fledged department store, spreading its way into the ground spaces of 11 adjacent buildings. Just about 25 years later, the store had outgrown even those expanded confines, so the company moved to its iconic Herald Square location on Broadway and 34th Street. There, Macy's began to attract shoppers from the rest of the country and the world. This location also saw the store become a major part of American holidays, especially in 1924, when immigrant employees wrangled the city's packs of stray floats and organized the first annual Macy's Parade. Modern Day Today, Macy's boasts 850 locations across 45 states and US territories. A far cry from that initial dry-goods shop, the modern-day stores carry everything from clothing and shoes to furniture and electronics. Though it is now headquartered in Cincinnati, the company's flagship store in Herald Square still attracts throngs of customers from all corners of the globe. The same can be said for the Macy's website, which is one of the most visited retail destinations on the Internet.10730 W Pico BlvdLos Angeles, CA US

PorcelanosaRead MorePorcelanosa's journey from mom-and-pop design firm to world leader in kitchen and bathware began in 1970 on the Mediterranean coast of Castellon, Spain. Today, the company's founding family oversees more than 400 showrooms in 70 different countries, exporting the latest in European home design to the rest of the world. Its minimalist, modern designs play on clean lines and muted colors, incorporating elegant accents such natural stone bathtubs or rectified porcelain tile, which mimics the Carrara marble used to build the Pantheon, sculpt Michelangelo's David, and construct the world's first paperweight. Its engineered hardwood flooring draws eyes to smooth planks of white oak in a spectrum of stains, vying for attention against tiled mosaics made of stone, ceramic, or brick. In addition to turning kitchens and bathrooms into walk-in works of art, Porcelanosa adheres to its founding principles of care for the environment and reducing ecological impact throughout its production chain, using water recycling and gas-burning technologies at its plants to reduce its carbon footprint.391 E BROKAW RDSAN JOSE, CA US
Planet GraniteRead MoreWhen the climbers of Planet Granite say that community anchors everything they do, they have a history of outreach to back it up. After Castle Rock State Park appeared on California?s closure list, Planet Granite?s team quickly organized a fundraiser to save the sanctuary. They pledged $10,000 in matching funds, threw an auction, scheduled guest speakers, and obtained support from companies such as REI. In one night, they raised $20,725. This kind of response has typified Planet Granite?s team since opening its first facility in 1994. One of the first climbing gyms in the country, Planet Granite has expanded to three gyms in Belmont, San Francisco, and Sunnyvale. The diverse array of climbing resources at each location led Popsugar to name the gym conglomerate one of the top five in San Francisco in 2011. At the Sunnyvale location, members scale 25,000 square feet of climbable surfaces that ascend from low bouldering terrains to 60-foot walls. In keeping with their commitment to community, the staff tailors instruction and climbing routes to every ability level and affinity for hand sweatiness. They also supervise each gyms? fully equipped fitness centers, ranging from CrossFit to yoga, which provides a peaceful counterbalance to the full-body workout of rock climbing.924 Mason StSan Francisco, CA US
Fresno Fencing AcademyRead MoreAt Fresno Fencing Academy, head coach and former Soviet and Ukrainian champion fencer, Vladimir Ostatnigrosh, distills his experience to foster a new generation of duelers within a 4,200-square-foot facility that boasts electric fencing strips, a fitness room with weight machines, and changing rooms. Ostatnigrosh invites students of all levels, aged 7 and older, to discover the art of parrying and thrusting, which nurtures self-discipline while bolstering the cardiovascular system and developing the skills necessary to retrieve stolen lunch money from Zorro. The academy's classes, which range from introductory to competitive levels, cover the three Olympic fencing weapons: the foil, the épée, and the saber. Those expert swordsmen and swordswomen who have mastered the fencing rules and refrained from detonating any last-resort grenades during a match defend the academy's robust reputation at local, regional, and national tournaments.5717 North 1st StreetFresno, CA US

So I was looking at all the anger over the recent Fate/Zero review and it made me wonder: Why does ANN do letter grades for reviews?
It seems like letter grades cause nothing but trouble. I mean, how often do you see people who've skimmed through the actual review, read the letter grade and flipped out? How often do you see people get mad because "you give this a C but you gave [some other show] a B!? " More importantly, what do they even actually add? From what I've seen, the prevailing sentiment among reviewers seems to be that they don't even matter; that they're just largely tacked on at the end. And hey, that makes sense. If a review is well written (and ANN's reviews are very well written) you hardly need it them to boil it down to a grade to understand what they think. Also, it was pointed out in the thread just how much it varies what letter grades actually mean depending on where you live. (Apparently up to 80% = C in much of the US. Here, C= 67% max ).
So yeah. I just figure, why even bother? Why not just drop letter grades all together? It seems like they're pointless and getting rid of them would create way less confusion, way less rage, and encourage people to actually read the whole review.

I think Zac once said that people - as in, readers - demand them, therefore ANN uses them. Maybe it wasn't him, but it was definitely an ANN reviewer or staffer.
Even Roger Ebert quantifies his reviews (he gives scores between one and four inclusive), although his reviews are usually shorter than ANN reviews. Everyone - and I mean that in the general sense, not literally - quantifies their opinion by giving a rating or a letter grade or whatever. Whether they're reviewing movies or games or even restaurants, at the beginning or at the end they'll give out some sort of figure which is supposed to neatly indicate all of their thoughts and views on the subject into one tidy package.
I sympathise with you ikillchicken, so don't think I'm against the idea in principle. But, if the majority of readers really do want reviews to contain grades, then that is unfortunately what we're going to get.
And to be fair, a Death Note or Fate/Zero level outrage happens pretty rarely. Though when it does happen . . . . . .

I would think the better question would be: Why do anime fans care so much about them?
One thing's for sure: I prefer they stay. I just love watching people's panties get twisted because someone's opinion is different to the point another gets pissed off about it.
I actually enjoy much of the comments as I do the review itself, provided I can get through it.

I have to agree with PJ on this one. While I write reviews on the side for anime blog in which we use numbers but instead of everything being broken down by section it is just one number grade for the whole thing.
Though I do like the letter grades better than the number grades since I think it is much easier to be more precise with the letter grading than the number grading.

|I like some kind of quantifiable measure and letter grades are just as good as anything else, I guess, with the exception that there seems to be a bit of confusion, for example, over what a grade of C+ actually means. I suppose numerical grades might be a little clearer - i.e. I don't think anybody would confuse what 2.5 out of 5 means.

I'm not very fond of the letter grades and I wouldn't mind if ANN were to revert to not using them. Sometimes it seems that the only virtue of letter grades is that they can be a way of estimating how annoying the discussion thread will be.
Aside from the inanity of numerous bitter posts haranguing a writer for what he did with five letters while often paying not even lip service to the twelve or fifteen hundred words that they accompany, I think that the system provides dubious precision. Is there really a reliable, reasonable difference between a B and a B+, or a B+ and A-? There might be in some ideal world, but I can't imagine that even one writer, much a staff of writers, could translate their subjective opinions into abstract representations that consistently.
Whenever I see anyone promoting or asking for more precision in scores, I can't grasp why because I see that precision as meaningless and the whole exercise as putting the summation of the review ahead of the review itself. I think that if there are to be scores at all, Shelf Life has it right with its simple three-grade system. A letter hardly gives any information as to the quality of something; it contains no detail, no substance and no sense of the author's tastes. Perhaps ANN should convert to a scale with fewer, more general ratings.
If ANN were to dispense with letter grades, I'd be happy, but I could imagine some of the audience losing interest. So there, review grades might drive page-views after all, just not the way that the accusation usually assumes.

|Instead of letter grades, why not use the 1-11 scale in the Encyclopedia? I've never liked letters or stars, but something about a numerical value and one word description (Good, Excellent, Awful) appeals to me, and the 1-11 ties into the Encyclopedia, so it may be easier to get a feel for a show.

Yeah, that may be true. And, in fairness, it's not like they create a problem for me. Anyone who doesn't care about grades can just as well ignore them. So yeah, you can make the argument that you might as well have them for the sake of people who do want them.
Yeah, my original point was more that they should consider getting rid of ratings all together but I quite like this idea too. At least something verbal would have a little more meaning.
Or, as a compromise, what about a bit of a hybrid? Don't actually follow and actual numerical scale but just give an extremely short (like a few words at most) summary at the end. ie. "Solid if also forgettable entertainment", "deeply flawed but excellent regardless", etc. (a bit like the positives and negatives but much more general). That way people still get a nice, super concise overall judgement at the end but it's not one of actual numerical value.
BTW, this probably goes without saying but I'm obviously not expecting Zac or whoever to pop up and declare "Gee, you're right. No more ratings!". I'm sure you guys put a lot of thought into how to do things and have your reasons and I'm sure you also don't radically alter things at the drop of a hat. I just wanted to toss this out there and get some discussion going so maybe in the future ANN will give more thought to such changes at an appropriate time.

The one thing that bothers me about the grading on ANN is that we don't have a consistent system across the site between the encyc and the reviews. I really don't care what system we use (letters, stars, numbers or descriptors), but I wish it was consistent.
It's worth noting though, I'm not sure if the encyc's system wouldn't translate well to reviews where we grade individual aspects of the show. For those grades, I think a letter or number works best.
Anyways, honestly, the matter is extremely subjective. If we had a different system, as many people would complain about that as complain about the current system. There is ZERO consensus on which is the best system. Every year or so I read a different document explaining why one system or another is "objectively better." Thing is, each time it's a different system.

Whatever system gets used, I think a guide needs to be there. Even if it's not translating to school grades, having a guide that says "A = Excellent, B = Above Average, C = Average, etc" and explaining what each step means would be good.
Something I just thought of, too, which may add to the complications, is that you have "B-list" rankings and "B movies". In the US, at least, there's far too many things that use a letter-ranking scale, and so many of them are different, that it's hard to know what each means.
To use those two examples and Fate/Zero...
If a "B movie" is a cheesy, low-budget film, and a "C movie" is below that, Fate/Zero was basically graded as a piece of crap.
If a "A-list" item is something super-popular and the "most bankable" and a "B-list" item is something popular "at the moment", with "C-list" being the bottom and for something simply "recognizable", Fate/Zero is something that people would go "Oh, hey, I recognize that... what was it called again?"
I don't think, given the review and comments, that either of those are appropriate to say that the grade denotes.
I think the two things right now that are needed are an agreed upon rating system (letters, scores, whatever), a standardized way to score*, and a guide (at least linked at the top of the Reviews page, preferably in every review) so that people can see what the scores mean.
*Yes, scores are based on personal reviews, but make sure that if one reviewer considers "C" to be average, than other reviewers aren't using "B" as average. Whatever the system/scale is, make sure that everyone's following it.

The terms "A-list" and "B-list" have nothing to do with our review scores at all. Those terms are used to describe the level of someone's celebrity or sometimes the prestige of a project/franchise, but 90 percent of the time it's the former.
The term "B-movie" has nothing to do with our review scores either (nor have I ever seen anyone model their review scores around the term; that would be really weird). B-movie does commonly refer to low-budget shlocky films, but that doesn't mean when someone gives a film a "B" that makes it a "B movie". Your logic is a little tortured here, man.
Our grades are based on basic American grades. We'll be adding a simple chart somewhere on the site soon (it used to be floating around somewhere, but we can't seem to find where it went).

|I think the real problem is the people who go right to the grade(s) without ever really reading the words of the review. It isn't enough for their favorite anime or manga to be liked, it has to get a high letter grade, so they disregard the carefully written review.

|I find the letter grades easy to follow and prefer them over a 1-10 type model. 1 to 5 is okay, but doing a 1 to 10 could lead people in the mind sight of 7-10 and ignoring the rest, leading right back to the letter grades, but in a different and confusing manner.

|I find it ironic (or gratifying?) that people are now saying that we need descriptions because the meaning of letter grades is too unclear. That was the reason I went with descriptions instead of numbers or letters for the ratings in MyAnime; the meaning is built right into the rating at the moment you choose it.

On 18 April 1994, Brian Lara, at the age of 24, produced one of the greatest innings in Test cricket. The 375 runs the Trinidadian scored against England at the Recreation Ground in Antigua allowed him to break Sir Garfield Sobers' world record. It turned him into a superstar and changed his life.
On 18 April 1994, Brian Lara, at the age of 24, produced one of the greatest innings in Test cricket. The 375 runs the Trinidadian scored against England at the Recreation Ground in Antigua allowed him to break Sir Garfield Sobers' world record. It turned him into a superstar and changed his life.
Yesterday, only six days away from the 10th anniversary of this magnificent achievement, Lara produced an innings of even greater brilliance on the same piece of turf and against the same opposition. Lara's genius climaxed at 11.43 Eastern Caribbean Time when he swept Gareth Batty for four. This boundary, his 42nd, took the left-hander on to 384 and allowed him to reclaim the world record which was pinched from him by the Australia opener Matthew Hayden six months earlier.
Passing Hayden's score of 380 failed to sate the world's greatest batsman and he went on to become the first batsman to score 400 in a Test innings.
On reaching this milestone Lara declared. The total of 751 for 5 is the second largest score the West Indies have posted and the highest conceded by England. In his 13 hours at the crease Lara was involved in two stands of over 200. The second, with Ridley Jacobs, who scored his third Test century, was worth 282, the West Indies' highest sixth-wicket partnership.
England's reply was pretty pathetic. Michael Vaughan was unlucky to be given out caught behind but the dismissals of Marcus Trescothick, Mark Butcher and Graham Thorpe had an end-of-tour feel. Trescothick edged a horrible waft, Butcher was bowled driving loosely and Thorpe flicked a simple catch to fine leg, reducing England to 98 for 5. Andrew Flintoff and Geraint Jones batted more responsibly but England have two tough days ahead if they wish to keep intact their unbeaten record in this series.
Flintoff edged to Lara at first slip off Ramnaresh Sarwan but Lara allowed the ball to escape from his grasp after seemingly controlling it and Flintoff stayed on. But England still need 381 to avoid the follow-on.
But this day, along with the previous two, belonged to Lara. When he regained the world record, he jumped in the air and whirled his bat over his head before taking off his helmet and looking to the heavens to give thanks. The scenes that followed were far less chaotic than those of a decade ago when thousands of ecstatic fans swarmed on to the pitch, and this allowed Lara to cherish the moment. After shaking the hand of each England player he was congratulated by the Antiguan Prime Minister, Baldwin Spencer. Lara then raised his bat again to each section of the ground before falling to his knees and kissing the pitch in the same way he had done 10 years before.
To play one innings of such magnitude is enough to put you high in the list of all-time greats but to produce two is one of the most remarkable achievements in sport. Reclaiming this world record is nothing like a triple-jumper leaping one centimetre further. To post the highest score in Test cricket Lara needed to spend 732 minutes concentrating under a scorching sun against a bowling attack which had dominated him for the previous month.
To bat for such a long period of time twice in a career not only takes enormous skill and stamina, it requires unbelievable desire and control. That is why this innings was in many ways better than that of 10 years ago.
After Lara scored 375 here, I felt he would never be able to play an innings of such perfection again. Not because Lara was not good enough, of course he was. I just felt that he would try to get there quicker than before and this would lead to him making a mistake. How wrong I was. It took Lara 546 balls to pass Hayden's score, 16 more than when he first broke the record.
The Lara of now is a different animal to a decade ago. Dealing with agents, the world's media and the thousands of people who constantly want a piece of his time matured him quickly and toughened him up. There was a spell in the mid-Nineties when all this attention turned him into quite an arrogant and unpopular character.
But he has mellowed. The expectations that come with being captain and star player of an underperforming team are still there but Lara now appears to handle these pressures better and has returned to the laughing, likeable bloke he was.
This more relaxed approach has allowed him to return to his best. Before this series Lara said he felt in better form than in 1994 but the first three Tests did not back up this claim. Some suggested he was now a declining force but this innings may have changed their view.
Lara began the third day needing 68 to overtake Hayden. With the third new ball only four overs away, there was an early flurry of runs but this was followed by a lengthy period of consolidation. Stephen Harmison again bowled with great heart and occasionally extracted steep bounce from a pitch that appears to be getting quicker.
With Matthew Hoggard off the field ill, Flintoff took the new ball and the pair tried to frustrate by banging the ball in short with a man out on the hook. England went up for a catch when one such delivery clipped something on the way through to Jones but replays showed it had touched Lara's shoulder.
The locals became animated by the tactics but Lara kept picking up the easy runs and ticking off milestones. This showed Lara's desire once again to top the list. Jacobs was playing some booming shots and it would have been easy for Lara to adopt the same carefree approach.
Harmison changed ends but was quickly ruled out of the attack after running down the middle of the pitch on his follow-through for the third time. It was not the most glamorous way of signing off his tour but with 23 wickets in the series he has much to feel proud of.

Deutsche Bank Managing Director, LAPD Not Yet Seeing Eye To Eye On Savage Beating "Incident"
Yesterday afternoon, Deutsche Bank vice chairman and managing director Brian Mulligan filed a claim with the city of Los Angeles, letting it be known that he plans on suing for $50 million, over an altercation with the LAPD that left Mulligan with "a broken shoulder blade and 15 nasal fractures." According to the media banker, he was minding his own business one night in May, when a couple of officers approached him, asked him what he was doing in the vicinity of a marijuana dispensary, searched his car (where they found a few thousand dollars), drove him to a motel and told him to wait there. Several hours later, still waiting, Mulligan says he started to become suspicious and decided to leave, at which point the officers returned and "began ruthlessly beating him" so badly he "barely looked human" when they were done. If this had happened to you, you might be a little upset too! The LAPD, however, claims that Mulligan has no reason to be angry with them and, in fact, owes the officers an apology, for his "outburst of erratic behavior."
The police version begins with a complaint about a man going through cars in a Jack-in-the-Box in the Highland Park area, according to LAPD Officer Cleon Joseph. Moments later, a second call came from another person about a man in the same area who appeared to be on drugs and trying to break into cars…The officers determined Mulligan matched the description of the suspect, but a police drug recognition expert determined he was not under the influence of drugs. Joseph said he could not clarify whether that included alcohol. Officers then searched Mulligan's car and found thousands of dollars, Joseph said. Mulligan told the officers that he was exhausted, so the officers agreed to transport him to a motel, Joseph said. But first, they had to count the executive's cash to make sure it was all still there after they transported him to the hotel, Joseph explained. The officers gave Mulligan's money back to him, drove him to the motel and left him, concluding their response, Joseph said.
A few hours later, at about 1 a.m., police received another call from the same area, this time about a man running in traffic. Officers observed Mulligan in the street, Joseph said. He defied officers' orders to get out of the street, and instead went into a fighting stance and charged at the officers, according to Joseph. Officers tackled Mulligan and took control of him, Joseph said. During the take-down, the executive sustained injuries that required hospitalization. Police reported the incident as a categorical use of force and are conducting a standard investigation to determine if the force was necessary. Mulligan was charged with resisting arrest and interfering with law enforcement. He was booked on $25,000 bail and was released from jail on May 18.
Despite Mulligan acting in such a way that some people thought required "force" to deal with, a spokesman for the LA County DA's office said that there are no plans to file criminal charges and that the office would simply like to "have a discussion with him and advise him on how best to follow the law so that incidents like this don't occur again."

Edit regarding Mumia Abu-Jamal[edit]
I recently made a change to the page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumia_Abu-Jamal) regarding Mumia Abu-Jamal being a honorary citizen of Copenhagen. It appears that this is a widespread misunderstanding.
In 1998 a local council (that doesn't exist anymore) of a part of Copenhagen (Norrebro) made a decision to honor Mumia Abu-Jamal. This decision was not a decision of the city of Copenhagen and the case went all the way to the minister of internal affairs because it was stated that the honoring could be considered foreign policy.
There is no record of Mumia Abu-Jamal ever being an honorary citizen of the city of Copenhagen. To erase any doubt I have written the city of Copenhagen to confirm this and to provide a link to a list of honorary citizens of Copenhagen (if any). I will post here again when I get an answer.
I've got an official letter from a Copenhagen mayer (they have several). See the letter here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taitsiak (talk • contribs) 12:18, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
deOrphaning script[edit]
Hello everyone! I was just working on responding to a couple bug reports for a script that I worked up as part of a request from this project, and I noticed that only a couple people (who weren't even on this mailing list) are actually using the script. A little history on the script: In March of 2014, Jim Cartar came to my user talk page and said he needed some help in acquiring a script for a backlog drive that he was working on that could keep track of and score deOrphanings for a scored backlog drive. I took that request to the project's talk page (BackLog Drive "DO" (De-Orphaning) script proposal) and there was near unanimous support for this. I thought about the proposal and decided the best way to do it was to build a new script (which is still no where near as comprehensive as Manishearth's OrphanTabs) and build into it a mechanism that will make BLD scoring easy.
What I'm wondering at this point is, since there appears to be only two people using the script, should I continue to develop this script with a goal of using it for scoring BLDs or just debug the existing script and leave it at that. Thanks for any replies or comments.

Sockpuppet investigation[edit]

AfD Shooting of Meagan Hockaday[edit]
Hello VQuakr -- thank you for your interest in the Shooting of Meagan Hockaday article. In the WP:EFFECT guidelines, there is the following qualification: "It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable." The Meagan Hockaday investigation, when viewed in context of recent officer-involved shootings in Oxnard, along with the extensive news coverage, demonstrates a regional (if not national) interest in the shooting. Are there any suggestions for improving the article that I can consult? Any help in finding such resources would be much appreciated. Thank you. Vaparedes (talk) 05:45, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
See Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Noticeboard#WordSeventeen. This is a good example of the problem. I see six bad nominations as potentially six lost new editors. The nominations get rejected but the damage is done. I suppose we can get him to say he will not do it again, but that hardly addresses the problem. He was only spotted by accident and could have done a lot more harm. We need much faster detection and, in my view, tougher sanctions. Aymatth2 (talk) 02:12, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
- Angela Black may be a real example. The subject is now aged about 65, probably retired. The tone is positive but not promotional. This first article by Anizhoni (talk · contribs) credibly claimed significance and gave sources, but was nominated A7 in less than an hour. The nomination was declined, but the newbie has done nothing since. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:50, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Fake Journalist Interviews Fake Obama about Fake Issues
Submitted by Josh Glasstetter on Tuesday, 6/19/2012 5:11 pm
At last week's BookExpo America in New York, birther extraordinaire and WorldNetDaily editor-in-chief Joseph Farah caught up with Obama impersonator "FauxBama" and pressed him on his birth certificate and college transcripts. FauxBama, it must be said, was slightly more believable as Obama than Farah was as a journalist:
Before he landed his big FauxBama interview last week, Farah was best known for breaking a series of stories about things that never happened, like Obama's birth in Mombasa, Kenya. Additionally, he uncovered Obama's war with God, revealed that gays and radical Muslims are working together to destroy America, and discovered that God sent last year's earthquake in Virginia.

LONDON, April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Adestra announced today the v2.8 release of MessageFocus, with an array of features to make managing and improving email programs even easier.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140331/678597-a )
Key Features
Launch Calendar
Easily coordinate email campaigns with the new launch calendar. The calendar view gives visibility into all sent and scheduled campaigns at a glance. Include launches from the whole account, a particular workspace, a project, or just a user. View by day, week, month, or year.
Benchmark Reporting
See how email measures up to other campaigns across an entire MessageFocus account. Performance is indicated via thumb up, or thumb down icons in the Campaign Reports. Results are based on how well a particular campaign has done against the average.
Compare results against other workspaces or projects over a selected period of time. Get an instant rating of performance for delivery, open-rate, clicks, unsubscribes, and conversions.
Updated Heatmap
The new, improved heatmap continues to give a great visual overview of the most clicked links in a campaign. Enhancements include:
- a slider for custom opacity
- greater visibility into link information
- the ability to print the heatmap for report sharing
Purchase History Filters
MessageFocus users now have the ability to create custom filters based on transactional data. Once a contact's purchase history is in MessageFocus, users can use tags and set filters to send them targeted messages. Create campaigns based on specific products, types of product or average or total spend.
IP Authentication by Email
Adestra customers now have another security option when it comes to data protection. In addition to IP access restrictions and OTP Tokens, clients are also able to add IP Authentication by email to their MessageFocus account. When a user logs on from an unknown or un-authenticated IP address, they will receive an email at the account associated with their MessageFocus userID, containing an authentication link, which they must click before being allowed access to the system.
These features are all live, now, and available to existing Adestra clients. More information, including screenshots, is available at adestra.com.
Henry Hyder-Smith, Managing Director and founder of Adestra, said:
"We're very excited by this latest release, which puts some great new features in the hands of email marketers. It shows our continued commitment to creating a cutting edge platform for our clients."

It's hard to say for sure but there's a feeling we're heading for the "Peak of Inflated Expectations." What does this mean for the enterprise? Should they avoid DevOps? Definitely not. Should they be cautious though? Absolutely. The truth is that DevOps and the enterprise are at best strange bedfellows. The movement has its roots in t...

In high-production environments where release cycles are measured in hours or minutes — not days or weeks — there's little room for mistakes and no room for confusion. Everyone has to understand what's happening, in real time, and have the means to do whatever is necessary to keep applications up and running optimally. DevOps is a high-stakes world, but done well, it delivers the agility and performance to significantly impact business competitiveness.

The team behind Rappahannock Oyster Company, Travis Croxton and Chef John Critchley, are now shucking things up at Mosaic District. Oysters are, of course, the focal point of Brine's menu and varietals include those beyond just Rappahannock. The eatery's other oysters hail from Island Creek in Boston, Hog Island, Maine, and Maryland. Beyond oysters, the menu also offers chilled Carolina shrimp, fresh crab, daily roasts of fish and meats, rotating specials, and a variety of dishes that draw inspiration from French cuisine.

and bar openings
Do you know who's open? And who's not? Find all the delicious details on every new space that has opened its doors. Remember: If you've heard about one you thought was open, but don't see it here, they may still be putting on the finishes touches. To know for sure, click to Coming Soon.
The Speak
1413 K Street, NW
There's a secret, new speakeasy in town and we're here to share all of the details (oops)! Owner Seth McClelland has launched his new underground craft cocktail bar, The Speak, in the former underground half of Tattoo Bar's space. To gain access to the mysterious cocktail lounge, guests must head downstairs to a seemingly vacant space with a door that's marked only by a "For Sale" sign and a mirror, pull on the mirror, and enter the dark and moody bar awaiting behind it. The menu offers classic cocktails like a Bobby burns as well as some less popular, but just as delicious, favorites like the Old Cuban, a mojito with bitters and champagne instead of soda. The ambiance oozes the luxury and exclusivity of speakesies past adorned with candles, Victorian-era couches, and a marble bar.
Union Kitchen Grocery
538 Third Street, NE
The owners of Union Kitchen, DC's first food incubator, have officially opened Union Kitchen Grocery. With a vision of re-inventing the conventional former store, Union Kitchen co-owners Jonas Singer and Cullen Gilchrist, launched the grocery as a means to share many of the great array of items produced by Union Kitchen's 65 members to the DC community. Union Kitchen Grocery's sells over 150 locally-made, high-quality products including Capital Kombucha, various pastries from the extensive line-up of Union Kitchen bakers, Compass Coffee, a range of prepared foods, and Spoil Me Rotten dog biscuits. Shoppers and diners can also enjoy sandwiches from the grocery's food counter or purchase household staples you might expect to find in traditional corner stores– produce, cleaning supplies and more.
1320 19th Street, NW; 202.293.6301
Washingtonians can now enjoy the good food and hospitality of Turkey by way of Dupont at new eatery Ankara. Ankara is an upscale-casual dining experience that celebrates the rich diversity of Turkish food and culture through a blend of classic and contemporary menu offerings and welcoming hospitality. The menu features the best of traditional Turkish foods as well as newly envisioned dishes including a wide array of cold and hot meze dishes, grilled kebabs featuring sustainably raised chicken, braised lamb shank, Ankara Tava (Turkish pilav served with lamb, peppers, onion and tomato sauté), a rotation of regional Turkish specialties, and pide (Turkish style pizzas). The restaurant can seat 120 indoors and 115 al fresco on their patio.
Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria e Bar
7101 Democracy Boulevard, Bethesda, MD
Naples Ristorante e Pizzeria e Bar has opened its doors at the Westfield Montgomery Mall, bringing authentic Neapolitan pizza and cuisine to Bethesda. Restaurateur Nick Valenti created the Naples concept twenty years ago to showcase the cooking of the region of his birth. The restaurant offers authentic wood-fired pizza as well as a wide selection of tempting Neapolitan favorites, from Acqua Pazza to Zeppole. Chef Riccardo Simeone, who was born and raised in Gaeta, Italy, 50 miles from Naples, cooks with imported Italian essentials complemented by fresh, local ingredients. Naples Ristorante boasts a wine list of over 70 labels, with world-renowned Italian wines and small-producer grape varieties and cocktails that are perfect for watching the sun set over Capri in the Bay of Naples (or so we can pretend). The 164-seat dining room is open for dinner service Monday – Sunday with daily lunch service to follow.
Bayou Bakery: Capitol Hill
901 Pennsylvania Ave SE; 202.664.5307
Chef David Guas' second venue, Bayou Bakery, Coffee Bar & Eatery opened on the grounds of Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital in Capitol Hill, occupying an historic carriage house on Washington's Capitol Hill sanctioned by President Lincoln. Like the Arlington location, it offers guests a range of comforting options in a casual, rustic counter-service gathering place. Tressa Wiles, director of all things baked & fried, builds on the foundation laid by Guas. Kyle Pool, director of coffee & tea, implements the highest quality and standards of Counter Culture Coffee and Rishi Tea in his beverage program.
Neyla Mediterranean Bistro
11898 Market Street, Reston, VA, 20190; 703.318.8920
After recently having closed its Georgetown location, which served patrons for almost 15 years, Neyla Mediterranean Bistro has re-opened its doors Reston Town Center. Diners can expect the Reston spot to offer much of the same Middle-Eastern, Mediterranean dishes served at Neyla's former location including Chicken Shwarma, Lamb Chops, and Mouhammara. The new Neyla Mediterranean Bistro boasts a large bar area, a private dining space perfect for private events and lunch/dinner meetings, and carry-out meals.
Mastro's Steakhouse
13th and F Street, NW; 202.347.1500
The former M&S Grill space has officially been converted into Mastro's- an upscale steakhouse and seafood restaurant. Mastro's has many locations throughout the western US and aims to create "guests for life" by combining the highest quality steaks and seafood with exceptional service in a cosmopolitan and entertaining atmosphere.
Barrel and Crow
4867 Cordell Avenue, Bethesda, MD; 240.800.3253
The former Freddy's Lobster + Clams space on Cordell Avenue in Bethesda has been transformed into American eatery Barrel & Crow. Patrick Forest, who served as the general manager of Grapeseed in Bethesda for two years, has partnered with former colleague Laura Houlihan, who worked as the bar manager at the restaurant for 12 years, to bring their restaurant vision to life. Barrel & Crow, which borrows its name from an old English expression referencing to jubilation and letting taps flow, focuses on serving Mid-Atlantic regional cuisine and locally sourced ingredients.
Granite City Food and Drink: National Harbor
200 American Way, National Harbor, MD; 240.493.3900
The St. Cloud, Minnesota-based restaurant and brew-pub, Granite City, has opened its 34th location in National Harbor. The 10,881-square-foot restaurant seats approximately 260 patrons in the dining room, 27 at the bar and 64 in the private dining room, an outdoor patio with additional seating for 20 to 30 people, and boasts an on-site brewery. Patrons can enjoy a satiable menu that features signature American dishes including ponzu salmon, braised bison short ribs, pulled pork waffle sandwich, burgers, flatbreads, salads, steaks and more. The brew-pub's handcrafted beers –also available in growlers – are moderately priced and offer classic ales and lagers as well as unique styles and flavors, like blueberry ale and vanilla porter, not typically produced by major breweries.
1828 L Street, NW
Pizzeria Paradiso owner Ruth Gresser has her sights set on a new pizza eatery concept: fast-casual. Drawing its name from the Italian word for speed, Veloce, is a quick-serve pizza joint that will offer the lunch and business crowds an efficient process for ordering homemade pizzas or creating their own custom pies. Unlike the Chipotle-style ordering and baking process cropping up at area pizza places, Veloce patrons order their pizzas at a one-stop ordering area to expedite the process and minimize lines. The personal pizzas, some of which reflect the offerings at Pizzeria Paradiso locations, cook for about two minutes in gas-powered ovens, unlike the wood-burning ones used at Pizzeria Paradiso, before being served up. The 1,400-square-foot space boasts room for 30 including patio seating.
2910 District Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22031; Mosaic District
Brainfood Homegrown
1309 5th Street, NE; Union Market
Brainfood Homegrown is a DC-based, youth-led food venture that now offers sustainably grown produce and prepared foods at a Union Market stand and through two weekly food subscriptions. With a focus on local food and our own homegrown talent, this real-world job-training program aims to provide access to D.C.'s growing food economy to many young people who have, to this point, missed out on these opportunities. Brainfood Homegrown is open at Union Market every weekend from 11:00am to 8:00pm.
The Pub and the People
1648 North Capitol Street, NW; 202.234.1800
A cozy, hip neighborhood watering hole, The Pub and the People, has opened its doors in Bloomingdale. The pub, owned and operated by Nick Bemel, Matt Murphy, Brittany Ryan and DC Reynolds' Jeremy Gifford, serves up a mix of Southern and Asian-inspired dishes. Executive Chef Dan Dalcin, formerly of BlackSalt, offer guests plenty of vegetarian options, seafood dishes, and bold flavors- but no small plates. The beverage program, helmed by Mike Aloi, includes local beers and signature cocktails.

SLAVIANSK, Ukraine (Reuters) - The senior European mediator in eastern Ukraine held his first talks on Monday with the leader of pro-Russian separatists in the city of Slaviansk, a flashpoint of the crisis.
Mark Etherington told reporters he met the self-declared, separatist mayor, Vyacheslav Ponomaryov, for two hours. He had asked whether Ponomaryov and his group would comply with last week's Geneva accord under which Russia and Ukraine agreed that militants should disarm and vacate occupied public buildings.
Ponomaryov later told a news conference: "We did not negotiate, we talked. We told them our position, what happened here, and they told us about their plans."
Etherington has not commented on the response he received.
The diplomat said he also asked Ponomaryov about people who had been detained in Slaviansk, including the previous mayor, about reports of maltreatment of the Roma minority and about a gunfight on Sunday in which at least three men were killed.
Ponomaryov said OSCE officials had met and spoken with Nelya Shtepa, who had been mayor before his group took over. "She is under our protection," he said.

Colorado delegation doesn't tweet during Obama's healthcare speech
Last night, Colorado's representatives and senators actually paid attention during President Barack Obama's healthcare address to a joint session of Congress -- or at least they resisted posting their comments about it while the speech was taking place. Not all of the state's federal officials have a Twitter account: Indeed, Betsy Markey's lack of one is the subject of a petition from an organization called TweetCongress.org. But none of those who do (Jared Polis, Mark Udall, Michael Bennet and Mike Coffman) tweeted as Obama was at the podium, and neither did any of them scream, "You lie!," as did South Carolina's Joe Wilson -- an act that set of waves of recrimination throughout the Twitterverse. Wilson tweets, though. His last message, on September 7, reads: "Happy Labor Day! Wonderful parade at Chapin, many people called out to oppose Obamacare which I assured them would be relayed tomorrow to DC."
Promise kept -- in the most stupid and crass manner imaginable.
