Alastair Campbell Accused Of Misleading People In Brexit Bust-Up With Iain Dale
20 September 2018, 21:12 | Updated: 20 September 2018, 21:18
Alastair Campbell was accused of "misleading people" over Brexit as he clashed with Iain Dale over Britain's departure from the EU.
Tony Blair's former spin doctor, a Remain campaigner, locked horns with the LBC presenter in a heated debate on Wednesday night.
At one point Iain, a Brexit supporter, told Mr Campbell he was "spinning in a way that was misleading people" as he made claims about trade with Africa and the EU.
But the LBC guest was ready to hit back - and listeners loved the pair's debate.
So whatever you think of Brexit - watch above and see who you agree with.

Jarrow Hall to Host Northern Stage's 'The War of the Worlds'
Jarrow Hall is delighted to announce that Newcastle-based theatre company Northern Stage will be performing their touring production of 'The War of the Worlds' for the first time in Jarrow on 13 October 2018.
The dynamic new critically-acclaimed production relocates H.G. Wells' iconic novel to the North East of England in an inventive re-telling of a sci-fi classic.
Jarrow Hall is operated by Groundwork South Tyneside and Newcastle working with South Tyneside Council – which owns the Jarrow Hall land and buildings – to ensure the much-loved venue has a long-term future for the people of South Tyneside, the wider region and beyond.
Northern Stage is the largest producing theatre company in the North East of England and is regarded as one of the most important producing theatres in the UK. The company has built a reputation for fresh and relevant productions of modern classics that attract audiences of all ages.
Leigh Venus, Operations Manager (Culture and Heritage) at Groundwork South Tyneside and Newcastle, said:
"This is a really exciting new relationship that recognises the importance of investing in culture at Jarrow Hall through working with world-class companies like Northern Stage, and I'm thrilled to be working with their hugely-talented team.
"As South Tyneside continues to increase its profile as an excellent place to live, invest and work, this new relationship underlines the importance of working together to achieve common goals. Working together we can deliver high quality events in the heart of South Tyneside right here at Jarrow Hall, events that enable a wide range of people from the local community and beyond to benefit from an increasingly exciting, vibrant and creative place.
"Tickets are now on sale and moving fast so I would urge people to book early to avoid disappointment. We are keen to explore further productions with Northern Stage and look forward to continuing working with them in the future."
Matt Runham, Senior Producer at Northern Stage, said
"Northern Stage are delighted to be performing The War of the Worlds at Jarrow Hall in the Autumn. It's great to be able to take work out on tour to different venues and communities across the North East and to develop new audiences. This is the first time we will be taking work to Jarrow and we are hoping this is the start of a longer-term relationship."
Jarrow Hall has played host to a number of cultural events over the summer including The Pantaloons' knockabout versions of 'The Importance of Being Ernest' and 'As You Like It' outdoors in the Anglo-Saxon Village, as well as the return of TOPH Films to accompany classic silent horror film Häxan with a one-of-a-kind live electronic-based score.
Leigh Venus adds:
"Genuine and meaningful engagement with the local community is deeply rooted in Groundwork's values, and arts and culture are a fantastic way to do this. Our aim is to consistently deliver great experiences so each of our events brings something unique to the year-round programme at Jarrow Hall, offering a fantastic showcase of creativity and talent."
Tickets are available from the Bede Museum reception, over the phone on 0191 424 1585 during public opening times, or online via https://www.jarrowhall.org.uk/event/the-war-of-the-worlds

Android (Sources)
Getting Started
Using our analytics-android library, you can start sending customer data from your app to MetaRouter, giving you valuable user data that yields actionable insights for your business. Follow the instructions below to get started in only a few minutes.
Create an Android Source in the MetaRouter UI
After logging in with your MetaRouter credentials, add a new Source > Android. Give your source a friendly name and copy that Source ID for the next step.
Install the SDK
We recommend installing the library for Android with a build system like Gradle to make upgrading versions and adding destinations simple. The library is distributed via Maven Central.
Just add the
analytics module to your
build.gradle with:
dependencies {
compile 'com.segment.analytics.android:analytics:4.+'
Initialize the Client
We recommend initializing the client in your
Application subclass.
// Create an analytics client with the given context and MetaRouter Source ID.
Analytics analytics = new Analytics.Builder(context, YOUR_SOURCE_ID)
.trackApplicationLifecycleEvents() // Enable this to record certain application events automatically!
.recordScreenViews() // Enable this to record screen views automatically!
.connectionFactory(new ConnectionFactory() {
@Override protected HttpURLConnection openConnection(String url) throws IOException {
Uri parsedUri = Uri.parse(url);
String path = parsedUri.getPath();
String host = parsedUri.getHost();
if (host.equals("cdn-settings.segment.com")) {
return super.openConnection("https://cdn.metarouter.io" + path);
} else if (host.equals("api.segment.io")) {
return super.openConnection("https://e.metarouter.io" + path);
return super.openConnection(url);
}) // Required - Specify that events go to the MetaRouter Event Ingestion API
// Set the initialized instance as a globally accessible instance.
- Automatically tracking lifecycle events (
Application Opened,
Application Installed,
Application Updated) is optional, but we highly recommending doing so to ensure you get the most out of MetaRouter!
- This only installs the MetaRouter destination, meaning all your data will be sent server side to tools.
Add Permissions
Ensure that the necessary permissions are declared in your application's
<!-- Required for internet. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
Identify Your Users
identify method helps you associate your users and their actions to a unique and recognizable
userID and any optional
traits that you know about them. We recommend calling an
identify a single time - when the user's account is first created and only again when their traits change.
It's up to you to call
identify based on how your users are authenticated, but doing it in the
onCreate method of your Application class is the most common (as long as you know who your user is). IF your user is still anonymous, you should skip this step and we'll attribute the subsequent events to an
anonymousID instead.
For example, a simple
identify looks something like this:
Analytics.with(context).identify("123456", new Traits().putName("Dagny Smith").putEmail("email@example.com").putRole("buyer"));
This call is identifying a user by her unique
userID (from your database) and associating her with
role traits.
Once you have the
identify call implemented, you're ready to move on to the
track call.
Track Your Users' Actions
To get to a more complete event tracking analytics setup, you can add a
track call to your app. This will tell MetaRouter which actions users are performing in your app. With
track, each user action triggers an "event", which can also have associated properties.
To start, our SDK can automatically track a few common events (e.g. ApplicationInstalled, ApplicationOpened, and Application_Updated) - you will just need to enable this option during initialization.
Analytics analytics = new Analytics.Builder(context, appID)
In addition to these, you will likely want to track some events that are success indicators for your app - like Viewed Product, Email Sign Up, Item Purchased, etc. You can always add more of these later!
For example, here's a sample
track call that records when a user signs up:
Analytics.with(context).track("Signed up", new Properties().putValue("plan", "Enterprise"));
track just tells us that your user just triggered the Signed Up event and chose your hypothetical 'Enterprise' plan. Properties are simple key-value pairs that can be anything you want to record, for example:
Analytics.with(context).track("Viewed Product", new Properties()
.putValue("item", "Cat Feather Toy")
.putValue("category", "Pet Supplies")
.putValue("revenue", "9.99"));
You have now successfully implemented your Android app! Now you're ready to head back to the MetaRouter UI and start switching on some destinations.

Terms of the deal are not being disclosed, the privately held companies said. Hearst aims to build pages on Kaboodle featuring products from many of its 19 U.S. magazine titles, such as Cosmopolitan and Good Housekeeping, hoping to draw more activity from its 30 million Hearst unique monthly Web visitors. "We understand very well that people want to collaborate while shopping," Hearst Interactive President Kenneth Bronfin told Reuters. "We think this marriage of community with shopping is a big and important prospect." Santa Clara, California-based Kaboodle, operator of Kaboodle.com, has more than 2 million U.S. unique monthly visitors. The site generates revenue through fees for advertisements. The acquisition follows a deal by Hearst last month to buy UGO Networks Inc., a network of Web sites devoted to video games, movies and other entertainment, as it sought a bigger chunk of the male Internet audience. "We're going to continue to look at any number of new acquisitions that make strategic sense," Bronfin said.

The Great Debate
Billions of years of ago, nothing exploded. That nothingness slowly formed to become planets and star systems. On one certain planet, primordial ooze developed, and out of that ooze crawled life. Millions of years later that ooze has evolved to yours truly, who is currently is typing away at his computer desk.
An unknown number of years ago, some argue that it is as short as 6,000 years, God created the heavens and the earth. In only took Him seven days, and in that time He created everything we have today. Man and Woman were created in the image of God, and instructed to be good stewards over the earth. God, not random chance, was the deciding factor in human life.
And there we have it–the great debate between Evolution and Creationism about the essence of man. This back and forth has been going on for years, started the day Darwin published his Origin of Species (although it probably started before, as Darwin wasn't the first to promote evolution). That's not to say there aren't a great number of other beginnings stories out there that fight for the limelight. Yet in America there has been this focused chasm between the theories of evolution and the ideas of creationism. The two versions I showed you above are extremely simplified, as there is a wide array of ideas and thoughts about both evolution and creationism. There are Christians who believe the seven days in the Bible were the millions of years evolutionists speak of, and creationists who do not believe in the Christian version of God. Yet the fact still remains, there is a heated argument in this country over the origin of humankind.
So what should we do about this "Great Debate"? Well I'm not going to try to win the debate one way or another in this article, as that would be long and futile. What I would like to do is to encourage all of us to think for ourselves. Too often I feel that people let the news headlines and social media memes do the thinking for them. The idea being 'why should I take to the time to form my own opinion when I can post a catchy meme of a grumpy cat that will say it for me?' While these may sound profound, I can assure you they are usually frivolous in nature, and do nothing to enhance the discussion. Most of the time this kind of debating leads to pointless arguing and name-calling.
So what should you do instead? Talk to people you trust, on both sides of the issue, and get their input. Then do your own research, and form your own opinions about the nature of man (and woman). On Tuesday the Creation Museum hosted a debate between Bill Nye "the science guy" and Ken Ham, the founder of the Creation Museum. You can watch the replay here, and use this as a starting point for your own research. There are plenty of resources out there; you just need to spend the time looking for them.
Now I know most of you aren't going to rush off and spend the time acquiring all this new information. We are in college, ain't nobody got time for that! But I would ask that if you truly are curious about this dispute then get informed and think for yourself. Also please don't argue your beliefs on a social media site, that only invites the haters to come out and hate. If you want to talk to someone about the issue, have a face-to-face conversation. I can guarantee you that the discussion will be a more civil and pleasant affair. Above all, respect those with different beliefs than your own, and never look down on someone simply for having a different opinion.
"But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect"
– 1 Peter 3:15 ESV

Top Five Summer Holiday Cars
Did you know... the Jaguar XKR-S, VW Polo, Chrysler Grand Voyager, Fiat 500C, and the MINI Cooper Works are "all" the top summer holiday car for 2012?
Did you know... the Jaguar XKR-S, VW Polo, Chrysler Grand Voyager, Fiat 500C, and the MINI Cooper Works are "all" the top summer holiday car for 2012? Why? Because motorists and holidays come in more shapes and sizes than sweets at a pick and mix counter, and this range of cars includes something for everyone. The Jaguar XKR-S, for starters, suits couples who fancy cruising across Europe in a Grand Tourer. After all it handles beautifully, looks superb, has a nice ride, and hits 62mph in 4.4 seconds. Only travel agents with huge sales targets move faster. The price for this 5.0-litre 550bhp coupé is £97,430, so holiday goers might have to save money by booking cheap hotels. Next to a sweet factory, maybe.
That brings us to the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion 1.2 TDI 5dr. This supermini's main strength is its staggering fuel efficiency, which enables cost conscious holiday makers to travel huge distances for the price of a Liquorish Allsort. In fact, this £15,830 fuel-sipper averages 80.7mpg, and returns 91.1mpg on the extra-urban cycle. Even through town it manages 67.3mpg. The VW Polo BlueMotion also has composed handling, a decent boot, solid build quality, and reassuring safety features. This makes it tastier than Harrods toffee.
The Chrysler Grand Voyager 2.8 CRD Limited is another mouth-watering prospect. This suits family motorists as it has seven seats and the boot is bigger than a sweet maker's sugar store. In fact, cargo capacity is 756-litres – even with a full complement of passengers. This increases to a mighty 3,296-litres when a few holiday makers are abandoned by the roadside and the rear seats are folded flat. Remarkably, that is 1,364-litres larger than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate. The Chrysler Grand Voyager also has plenty of toys. These include: six-speed auto transmission, leather seats, Bluetooth, and parking sensors. All for £36,245. Also, a rear entertainment system can be added for £950 to keep kids quiet and happy. Either that, or stick their mouths shut with sticky toffee.
The final tasty treats in our top five summer holiday cars are the Fiat 500C Abarth and the MINI Hatchback John Cooper Works 3dr. Why? Because holidays should be fun, and these are the most fun anyone can have for less than £25,000 outside Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. As such they look fantastic, feel superb on the road, and hit 62mph in 7.9 and 6.5 seconds respectively. All for £16,861 and £22,455. The Fiat 500C and the MINI are fashionable too, so they turn more heads than a limited edition Wonka Bar. Who could want more? Now, please point me to the nearest sweet shop – we really need sugar.

Call Today to Schedule Your Dental Cleaning!740-214-1301
At Hawkins Complete Dental Service in Zanesville, OH, we don't "save" our cutting-edge dental technology for complex procedures. Dr. Charles Hawkins raises the bar on dental care by also using it for general dentistry services like dental exams and dental cleanings.Dr. Charles Hawkins on dental exams at Hawkins Complete Dental Service Read Transcript
If you're a new patient coming to our office, first thing we do is take you in through hygiene, find out exactly what your chief complaint is. If you don't have any, we'll clean your teeth up, take some X-rays, and get a treatment plan of what you need to have done, and go from there.
Here are a few of the high-tech tools your Zanesville, OH dentist uses during your dental exams:
- DIAGNOdent cavity detectors, which use laser technology to help us detect cavities in their earliest stages before they are visible to the naked eye.
- VELscope, which helps us identify tissue abnormalities that can be an early warning sign of oral cancer or other health conditions.
- Digital X-rays, which provide accurate images more quickly and comfortably than traditional X-rays, while using a fraction of the radiation.
- Microscope Bacteria Screening, which helps us see specific bacteria like spirochetes, gliding/spinning rods, amoebas, cytophaga and more. These little creatures feed on the tissue in your mouth and can cause significant damage, so it's important that we treat any infections quickly and completely.
In addition to oral cancer and cavities, Dr. Hawkins checks you for signs of gum disease and wear and tear that may indicate bruxism (teeth grinding) after having your dental cleanings. And because your family's health is our top concern, our office is a latex-free environment. We'll also check on any dental work we've done recently to uphold our five-year dental care guarantee.
To schedule your dental exams and dental cleanings, call us at 740-214-1301.
Get Your Teeth Squeaky Clean
Keeping teeth free of bacteria-filled plaque is one of the best ways to prevent problems like cavities and gum disease. No matter how well you brush and floss at home, it's easy to overlook some areas where bacteria collects in your mouth. But don't worry; we get into all the nooks and crannies that you might miss. If necessary, we also supplement your dental cleaning with preventive treatments like fluoride applications or dental sealants. You'll walk out with your teeth looking and feeling great!
Not only that, but our amenities like massage chairs and fresh-baked cookies will make you feel special every time you visit our office, including for your regular checkups. To visit a dental practice where your regular dental exams and dental cleanings are anything but routine, call Hawkins Complete Dental Service at 740-214-1301.

The Cliffs of Moher
0 Comments
I has visited the Cliffs of Moher before, I had proposed on top of the Cliffs of Moher to my other half, so decided to pay them a visit again.
So twhat are the main facts about the Cliffs:
a) They are designated as a special protected area (SPA) under the EU Birds Directive 1979.
b) The cliffs are the home to Ireland's largest mainland seabird nesting colony.
c) They rise up to 214m at the highest point
d) They cover a range of 8km
e) Beneath the cliffs if the famous Aileen's wave, producing up to 30ft waves
f) One of the sea caves at the bottom of the cliffs was used in Harry potter & the half blood prince
My first walk was towards o'Brien's tower. This tower was built in 1835 by Cornelius O'Brien as a viewing point for tourists.
And on the day i visted the Cliffs of Moher, the sun was beaming down on the 100's of tourists visiting these maajestic cliffs although it ws only mid February.
After o'brien's tower, I decided to walk towards the South platform and beyond so i would get great views of An Branan Mor (Sea Stack).
This seastack stands at 67 m tall and was once part of the cliffs, but coastal erosion slowly removed the layers of rock joining it to the mainland.
After my walk, I decided to head into the visitor centre building which opened it's doors in 2007. The centre is set into the hill minimizing the visual impact.
Within the centre, you can enjoy the cliff exhibition or watch the 2 short movies " The Clare Journey" or the " ledge experience". There is also a restaurant and a tourist souvenir shop.

US Airways reports record November load factor
US Airways Group, Inc. today announced November and year-to-date 2012 traffic results. Mainline revenue passenger miles (RPMs) for the month were 4.8 billion, up 4.0 percent versus November 2011. Mainline capacity was 5.7 billion available seat miles (ASMs), up 2.5 percent versus November 2011. Mainline passenger load factor was a record 85.1 percent for the month of November, up 1.3 points versus November 2011.
As previously disclosed, given the effects on travel in the Northeast resulting from Hurricane Sandy, the Company estimates that November PRASM was negatively impacted by approximately 2 percentage points and November earnings by approximately $20 million. Bookings have since returned to normal levels.
US Airways' President Scott Kirby said, "Our November consolidated (mainline and Express) passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) was flat versus the same period last year. As we begin the busy holiday travel season, I would like to thank our 32,000 employees for delivering outstanding service to our customers. Despite record load factors during the week of Thanksgiving, our team delivered stellar operating results, including record-setting performance in on-time arrival rate, baggage handling, and completion factor."
As reported to the U.S. Department of Transportation, US Airways' preliminary on-time performance was 88.1 percent for the month of November with a completion factor of 98.9 percent.

Prevention of food borne illness
A clean home starts with a clean kitchen. The kitchen is the place where food is prepared. Food will finally get in the human body, and if contaminated by an unclean kitchen, a food-borne born disease can erupt. A clean kitchen starts with the mode of storing food. Food should be stored in a clean environment and using the right mode of storage and preservation. Food should always be covered. The covers should be sterilized.
Avoid cross-contamination of meat with other foods through cutting using the same knife, contamination by unwashed hands, and covering by unsterilized rids.
This will avoid the salmonella diseases. Salmonella is a deadly disease especially when it is not treated in early stages. The unclean kitchen will also attract disease cause insects such as rodents and cockroaches. Avoid the health risk by keeping the home clean.
Prevention of water-borne diseases
It is the belief of many that one can only contract a waterborne disease in a hotel or a restaurant. A dirty home is a hub of water-borne diseases. If an outbreak of waterborne diseases has not been experienced, it is on the way.
Cholera can be spread from one member of the family to the other when the toilet is unclean. The bacteria responsible for spreading of cholera can live in a dirty toilet for a long time. A clean toilet prevents members of the family from contracting the disease. Diarrhea is another common waterborne disease associated with a dirty home. Every home should have a tap near the toilet where members can wash their hands to prevent this disease and many another disease. The toilet and the bathroom should be sterilized regularly to avoid infection of worms and other parasites.
Prevention of pests and disease-causing organisms
Pests and other disease-causing organisms do very well in unclean places. The surroundings of the home should maintain bushes short and stagnant water to eliminate the danger of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are responsible for causing malaria. All the rooms should be kept clean to prevent the invasion and reproduction of rodents. Rodents are a diseases-causing organism. Cockroaches in the kitchen can be a real danger to the family health. Flies are also organisms that cause many diseases and can be avoided by keeping a home clean.

A mesmerizing look at Aristotle in Philip's court. Lyon presents a compelling and earthy look at the philosopher, and really tries to capture the kind of living, breathing person that could envision A's philosophy.

The Golden Mean by Annabel Lyon is a great historical novel based on true events. It's about Alexander III of Macedon (also known as Alexander the Great) who was a young and a powerful Greek emperor who ruled the largest Western empire of the ancient world. He was only in his early 20's when he became a king, and died at the age of 32. In his teen years he was tutored by the legendary Greek philosopher Aristotle. This novel is re-imagination of what it was like for Aristotle to tutor this clever young man whose limitless ambition was also alarming. Consequently, Aristotle aimed to give Alexander the "Golden Mean" to become a prominent leader without losing control over his desire for power. (Submitted by Jamila)
I totally agree with the reader 's comments of April 22, 2015. The first third of the book was great! Then to the end it was slow and humdrum. There were some nice details, but to me it seemed like 2 different authors were writing. The first was interested in the subject matter and the second was just filling up the pages to get it over and done with. A real disappointment with such interesting characters this could have been a really good book.
this book started off with a bang, after all, the conjunction of Philip of Macedon, Aristotle and Alexander the Great holds great promise, but too pedestrian situations occur to finally hold rapt your attention, interest fizzles, the tale ends in a whimper, though the timeline uniting the three protagonists was made clear, and I liked the information about Ptolemy, Alexander's successor, originator of the Egyptian Ptolemaic dynasty, and thus Cleopatra's earliest recorded ancestor
An interesting novel that looks at Alexander the Great through the first-hand account of his teacher Aristotle. It takes Aristotle out of the ethereal philosophical and intellectual realm on the first page, having him swear and complain about the soreness of riding a horse, while distracting himself with the thought of a woman servant's ass; it returns to Aristotle's home life, his ambitions and his fears about becoming entangled in court politics. As he's not really an insider, his view of Alexander is limited, but he sees how a bright boy has to accommodate the political need for military leadership and social pressures. In the end, both philosopher and ruler have to look for a balance between what they want and what they can accomplish, or get away with, in the real world.
I find it amazing how an author can fictionalize the lives of Aristotle, King Philip, and Alexander, his son after reading histories of this time period and biographies of these men. I enjoyed reading this book, more to see what life could have been like in those times than to find out about the lives of Aristotle or his student, Alexander, who happen to be the vehicles for this discovery. The book is easy to read and, like a life, has no plot except to detail what happens in Aristotle's life during a certain time period....work, play, leisure, family, households, food, friends, relatives, entertainment, problems, successes, failures, housing, pleasures, deaths, diseases, gods/religion/ beliefs, teachings/education, etc.
This book is not hard to read, not too deep or philosophical, but not very engaging either. It did not have much of a plot line or flow and I did not know where it was heading. Some aspects of life during Aristotle's years in Macedon were interesting but not enough for me to finish the book.
Lyon recounts the history of Aristotle from the philosopher's point of view, concentrating on the time he spends as the tutor of Alexander the Great, a gifted adolescent who displays shockingly violent impulses and a passion for warfare. The balance of extremes becomes a theme as Aristotle attempts to temper the boy while battling emotional extremes of his own. Lyon's voice has been called earthy and frank; thus the grittiness of Classical Antiquity comes alive, and the reader inhabits
the mind of a great thinker afflicted with bilious swings of mood and energy. Some days Aristotle sleeps and weeps; others he produces "monuments of work that [are] pure luminous chryselephantine genius." Lyon's own work is one of notable achievement: nominated for all three of Canada's major fiction awards, Lyon won the 2009 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize.
A wonderful book! Really makes Aristotle and Alexander seem like real people.
Aristotle and Alexander the Great. A balance of extremes.
Philip of Macedon and his son Alexander get to know Aristotle who tutors Alexander and his brother. The relationships described by Lyon really bring the time period and the people to life. Aristotle especially comes off as a funny, curious professorial type. This is an interesting, quick read.

It seems that Mr. Zhou has everything going according to plan. By allowing Lu Gonghu to be apprehended, the Chinese turn to him for help. I'm still not really sure what his motives are, but he seems to be in control of things. He's calculated everything so far and now it's only a matter of time until Tatsuya intervenes.
Chiaki has a bit of a rude awakening when Ichihara informs her that Senpai won't notice her. I guess she had a bit of a vendetta against Tatsuya because he outclassed her on the entrance exams. Perhaps she used her sister's accident as an excuse. Being second sucks since all the attention is put on Tatsuya while no one even bats an eye at her. She just wanted a bit of attention and ended up being manipulated by Zhou to advance his plans. Rather than reprimand her, Ichihara tries to steer her back on the right path. She's a smart girl who just let her hormones cloud her judgement.
It seems that all the previous characters introduced will be playing some role in this arc. Ichijou, Kyouko, Ono, and the rest of the characters introduced have made their appearance. Tatsuya must be a natural born leader since he's uniting everyone against the enemy! Everyone wants another opportunity to one up Tatsuya.
This whole time, Tatsuya's been waiting for the next attack to occur. Most people felt safe with Lu Gonghu being apprehended, but as he mentioned, these weren't just random attacks. The Chinese have a clear goal and aren't finished yet. Zhou managed to break Lu Gonghu out and now we're approaching the climax of the series.
Overall, there wasn't much to discuss this episode. Most of it was setting up for the final episodes so it was quite dialogue heavy. I guess I'll leave it at that and cut this post a bit short.

KIRPAL GORDON: Although you were born and raised in
, you had a long apprenticeship in the undergrad & graduate writing program at Arizona State University before you published yr first book, "Ohio Blue Tips." Among other moving elements in that collection was your eye to the impact of prison on the human spirit as embodied by Joe. For example: Lima, Ohio
The Man said, he's dangerous, Miss.
And Joe smiled,
A yellow-toothed smile, chicken fat yellow.
The Man said, if I take these cuffs off him . . .
And I said, take them off.
When Joe put his two uncuffed hands on my shoulders,
He was laughing like something was really funny,
With the Man saying, he ain't like a human being.
And me saying, what's wrong with him,
And wondering what Joe-now dangerous
Because some woman the state paid
$200 a month to raise him
Kept him seven years in a chicken coop-
What was Joe going to do next?
I'm going to put those cuffs back on,
The Man said, before we all live to regret it.
And Joe smiled,
A yellow-toothed smile, chicken fat yellow.
The Man said, if I take these cuffs off him . . .
And I said, take them off.
When Joe put his two uncuffed hands on my shoulders,
He was laughing like something was really funny,
With the Man saying, he ain't like a human being.
And me saying, what's wrong with him,
And wondering what Joe-now dangerous
Because some woman the state paid
$200 a month to raise him
Kept him seven years in a chicken coop-
What was Joe going to do next?
I'm going to put those cuffs back on,
The Man said, before we all live to regret it.
Would you say this poem is representative of the book?
JEANNE CLARK: Yes, this is certainly a cornerstone or touchstone poem for the poem. The worlds of outside & inside the prison collide, & the poem asks what everyone is going to do, I hope.
KIRPAL GORDON: Most prison literature is male in orientation & direction, yet you've won the Akron Poetry Prize with a book that causes us to re-think gender roles. What's up with that?
JEANNE CLARK: One of the things that has been missing for me in prison literature, although I didn't set out to write a book of prison poems, is the ways imprisonment implicates others outside the walls of the institution, in this case a woman who grew up in a "prison town" & who teaches in the prison as an adult. She needs to support her child, & this is the only job she can get. So, she works in a dangerous, utterly misogynist environment every day. She's doing her own kind of time.
KIRPAL GORDON: Gorril's Orchard, your second collection, came out in 2012 after you moved to
JEANNE CLARK: Actually,
is a Chico school rather than a UC school. That said, every move--from Cal State to the Ohio desert to the almond orchards of Arizona Northern California--has changed my outlook & the way I approach the work. OBT was full of story & narrative, a certain midwesterner determination. GO is meditative & reflective, lyrical I hope, in the manner of the orchards themselves & their cycles. What connects these books is that they are love poems to these places, these landscapes.
KIRPAL GORDON: Throughout those landscapes and the writing of those love poems, you have also been a most dedicated teacher of writing and literature. Do you see comparisons over the last thirty years with your students at
Chico & the inmates in ASU & ? Ohio
JEANNE CLARK: I don't think you can make much comparison between the teaching of inmates and the teaching of college students. The exigencies for each of these student groups is utterly different. What I'm starting to see in college students is all kind of external pressures--financial, social, educational (in terms of their preparation)--that I didn't see 10 years ago, and which are calling for teachers to learn more about their lives, these pressures, and how to meet them in meaningful ways, ways that will help. We can't make assumptions about who is walking into our classrooms in profound ways. In this way, my approach to teaching might be moving toward something like it was when I taught in prison, focusing less of official understandings and having to work in a committed way to learning what is going on with a student or group of students and reinventing my work accordingly.
I tailor individual reading lists for students, as much as possible. I work to create lots of different kinds of work for students to do in the classes, so they can find ways that engage them.
KIRPAL GORDON: Some in your profession see a breakdown in teaching critical thinking to young folks who are not deep readers. What is your experience?
JEANNE CLARK: I don't believe that young people are not deep readers these days. I think we have to work harder to follow the trails of their own curiosities and build inquiry and practice around that.
KIRPAL GORDON: Compare your own education at ASU.
JEANNE CLARK: I had a wonderfully supportive group of writers and scholars around me, who supported my work. I took a long time to finish. And I sat my butt in a chair for many, many hours.
KIRPAL GORDON: Poetry outside the academy is everywhere these days with open mics & online journals, poet laureates for every county making those old battle lines & poetry wars of the 70s & 80s seem so far off. Commentaria?
JEANNE CLARK: I don't think--perhaps I'm wrong--that I'm ambitious with regard to my work. I have dedicated readers in a writing community that I love, and this is such a gift. I get to do the work I love with students. I walk my dogs in the orchards. Those wars have never been my own.
KIRPAL GORDON: What do you make of the changes in the publishing industry & its impact on poetry?
JEANNE CLARK: I don't know that the changes in publishing make much impact on poetry, as poetry has been on the precarious fringe for a long time. The changes perhaps press for further changes in practices: reaching out to community audiences, alternative publication venues, the rise of spoken word. All exciting directions.
KIRPAL GORDON: What's next? What's happening with you and dogs?
JEANNE CLARK: I don't know what I'll write next. I'm in a quiet time. The dogs are anything but quiet. They're clamoring for what's next, & they intend to play starring roles.
KIRPAL GORDON: How can GSP readers stay in closer touch with all that you do?
JEANNE CLARK: I don't blog or have a website. Readers can stay in touch with the border collie rescue work I do through the website of Border Collie Rescue of Northern
. The written work shows up on Facebook when something finds its way into print or public performance. I also teach in the Summer Arts Festival at the University of Fairbanks, Alaska in July. There's a blog associated with the festival workshop maintained by one of the participants. California

Kolkata: Kingfisher East Bengal are all set to welcome Minerva Punjab in what would be a battle to salvage pride for both sides.
East Bengal have not had smooth sailing both on and off the pitch. With head coach Trevor James Morgan having resigned earlier the week and new coach Mridul Banerjee indisposed due to an injury, assistant Ranjan Chaudhari is all set to be on the sidelines.
Red & Golds still currently sit in the third place on the table but have Bengaluru and Shillong Lajong close on their heels.
Willis Plaza will be out suspended but Wedson Anselme will be back in the reckoning. Chris Payne and Robin Singh would be handed a start in attack while Jackichand Singh and Romeo Fernandes might be given a chance on the wings.
Meanwhile Arnab Mondal will look to start with Ivan Bukenya in central defense.
Meanwhile, Minerva Punjab will be missing their goalkeeper Arnab Das Sharma who has left the squad. However Arshdeep Singh, who was superb against Mohun Bagan will be the ideal replacement.
However the lack of goals upfront is a worry for the side and Kareem Nurain might start upfront.
Meanwhile Loveday and Sang Min Kim will look to populate the defense.
Surinder Singh will know that this is the right time to play East Bengal as they have lost their last four matches.
A win for Kingfisher East Bengal will look at them cementing their third spot while minerva have only pride in store as they are immune from relegation.
"I think we did not deserve to lose against Mohun Bagan and a similar performance will surely give us a result against East Bengal," said Singh.

Regulatory Status Legend
The ZM3.8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD85k which is also known as Immunoglobulin-like transcript 3 (ILT-3) and Monocyte inhibitory receptor HM18. CD85k is encoded by LILRB4 (Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor, subfamily B member 4) and is expressed as a type I transmembrane glycoprotein. CD85k is comprised of two C2-type Ig domains, a transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic tail with three immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). CD85k is selectively expressed by myeloid antigen presenting cells including monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. CD85k functions as an inhibitory receptor. ILT3 can also function in antigen capture and presentation. It is efficiently internalized upon cross-linking, and delivers its ligand to an intracellular compartment where it is processed and ultimately presented by APCs to T cells. Thus, ILT3 is a novel inhibitory receptor that can negatively regulate activation of APCs and can be used by APCs for antigen uptake. ILT3 expression is upregulated on tolerogenic dendritic cells that can induce regulatory T cells.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV750 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. This dye is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 with an Ex Max of 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 750-nm. BD Horizon Brilliant BV750 can be excited by the violet laser (405 nm) and detected with a 750/30 nm filter with a 740 nm long pass. Due to spectral differences between labeled cells and beads, using BD™ CompBeads can result in incorrect spillover values when used with BD Horizon BV750 reagents. Therefore, the use of BD CompBeads or BD CompBeads Plus to determine spillover values for these reagents is not recommended.

One more day till the weekend!
Insert all of the new emojis :)
I feel like everywhere I walk I see one.
I try to make them when I can;
but when I saw this one I begged the bf.
&& welp it came home with me.
I loved how soft it was,
it literally like wrapping yourself up in the word cozy.
Other than on other blogs and Pinterest,
I have yet to see a girl in Chicago wearing it.
Thanks OLD NAVY for that one.
&& this one was great for an impromptu picnic.

Recalling fresh salad greens with light lemon vinaigrette, this strain's aroma won't win any awards, but it did wrap our back pain in a warm blanket without sleepiness.
Smooth skunk with a lemon pine tinge up front, this bulbous bud provided a light head high starting the cheekbones and setting in our forehead crown, with a calming, stoney haze that had us alternating between stretching and recovering on the couch.
It hits hard and heavy in the body by releasing muscle tension and soothing overworked areas, while crushing stress with a potent wave of euphoria. Be prepared for giggle fits and straight-up wackiness if you try to fight the sandman. Let's get weird!

Love & Mercy in the Year of Mercy
With the Fourth of July behind us Summer is now in full swing. The Cathedral has had a steady stream of visitors and tourists coming through her doors. The Door of Mercy continues to be a destination in people's pilgrimages to our great cathedral. It has been very refreshing and inspiring for me to see the great faith that people bring to this Holy Door and it is a continuing reminder of the gift that Pope Francis has given us.
Once again this weekend we are reminded of the role that Mercy has to play in our lives. Jesus gives us a powerful parable on how the Christian is to act; the Christian is to show mercy. That is what defines who the neighbor is. The neighbor is the one who showed mercy to the man who fell on hard times. The neighbor doesn't walk by, the neighbor doesn't turn his head, the neighbor acts. The neighbor acts in love.
This command to act in love is given to us in this week's gospel, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." The love that we are to share with our neighbor is second only to the love we are to give to God. The love that we are to share with our neighbor is expressed in works of mercy. These works of mercy are freely given, not out of duty, but out of love. The works of mercy are traditionally broken down into corporal works of mercy and spiritual works of mercy.
The corporal works of mercy include:
To feed the hungry
To give drink to the thirsty
To clothe the naked
To shelter the homeless
To visit the sick
To visit the imprisoned
To bury the dead
These are the works that we typically think of when we think of works of mercy. This list includes all of the varied ways that people attend to the health and well-being of those around them and they are important. However, they are not the only way that we are called to share the love of God with our neighbor.
The good neighbor shows care for spiritual health as well through the spiritual works of mercy. The spiritual works of mercy include:
To convert the sinner
To instruct the ignorant
To counsel the doubtful
To comfort the sorrowful
To bear wrongs patiently
To forgive injuries
To pray for the living and the dead
The spiritual works of mercy are harder to see. The spiritual works of mercy are harder to raise awareness for, but they are just as necessary for the salvation of all involved.
This summer, let us follow the example of the Good Samaritan by sharing the love and mercy of God with our neighbors providing for the needs of their bodies and their souls as well.
Fr. Grant Lacey

According to the Academy, 14 others will be honored alongside Adichie.
"When the American Academy of Arts and Letters holds its annual induction and award ceremony in mid-May, Calvin Trillin, secretary, will induct fourteen members into the 250-person organization and Yehudi Wyner, the president will induct three foreign honorary members," the statement read.
The Academy's objective includes "fostering and sustaining an interest in Literature, music, and the Fine Arts."
This will be done through the administration of over 70 awards and prizes, exhibiting art and manuscripts, funding performances of new works of musical theater, and purchasing artwork for donation to museums across the country.

Connor Bannon is supposed to be dead. Dishonorably discharged from the Navy SEALs, he's spent the last two years working as a street enforcer in Brooklyn for his cousin's crime ring. Through a twist of fate, he's now in Chicago, working undercover to bust criminals. But when a cute little arsonist joins the team—all combat boots, tiny jean shorts, and hot-pink hair—Connor's notorious iron control slips.
Erin "she's getting away" O'Dea knows two things. She hates authority. And… Nope, that's it. When she's forced to operate on the "right" side of the law, her fear of being confined and controlled blazes to the surface. The last thing she expects is a control freak like Connor to soothe her when she needs it most. Worse, something behind the sexy ex-soldier's eyes ignites a dangerous inferno of desire. One that invites Erin to play with fire. And one that could get them both killed…
I like this series – you can read the review of book one here. (can be read as a stand alone). Before I get into all the dirty quotes, let me note this: Connor is a very possessive and controlling hero. Completely over the top. From the first time he sets his eyes on Erin, he wants to control every detail of her life (and he tries to). I think this may be a turn off for some readers. He amused me, but I think he may frustrate some. He is very, very, very alpha. And the heroine grew up with an abusive step-father who locked her in a closet for days on end. She is very troubled. Being with an extreme alpha and being broken – well – some may not like that. I enjoyed the heroine though. She is broken, but not her spirit. She is obsessed with fire. She has a smart mouth.
But now onto the dirty. Please be warned, explicit language below.
10. Because of Erin's abusive childhood, she does NOT like to be touched. BUT – she can touch others. And oh, does she touch Connor. Eventually.
"I didn't say I couldn't touch." She gripped the collar of his shirt and dragged him forward, bringing their mouths an inch apart. "Just you."
A muscle ticked in his jaw. "I'll make you beg for my goddamn hands on you."
9. Question: What is the status of Connor's cock in Chapter two? Answer:
"My cock is big and angry because you made it that way. That makes it your responsibility. Move."
8. Connor is willing to beg. And dry hump.
"Please, Connor. Connor, please,"
"What are you begging for?" The question cracked like a whip. "You're the hottest goddamn thing I've ever seen, thighs spread wide open as you dry-fuck me. I should be the one begging." He groaned as she picked up speed, angling his hips more, giving her everything. "I've never begged a fucking day in my life, but you're going to make me, aren't you?"
Her muscles clenched. The flesh between her legs seized. Yes. Yes. "I can't. I don't…"
"You will," he gritted out. "Jesus Christ, look at you. You'll be worth my pride."
7. Boner Control Issue
"I haven't been in the same room as you, Erin, when my cock wasn't rock hard and ready to fuck.You know it, too.You know I want to plant it deep inside you. Watch you shift around trying to get used to being crammed so motherfucking tight."
6. Because Erin doesn't like to be touched, they can't have intercourse. This pretty much kills Connor (yet he never forces her – only when she is ready)
"Tell me you'll spread your legs for it someday, Erin. Give me that." He fisted his cock and pumped twice. "I can only fantasize about coming in your pussy so many times before I need the real thing. I bet you're fuck-tight, aren't you? Like a closed fist."
She poured more oil into her hands and rubbed them together. "Yes, I want very much to spread my legs for it someday." Her voice was throaty, sexual. "And yes, baby, I'm nice and tight."
He almost came.
5. Did I mention that Connor is a bit possessive? This is said on the second day he knows her:
"It goes unsaid that if you go near another man, I'll end his life."
4. Who want a mess in their jeans??
"If you sit down on my hard cock right now, when I can finally taste your tits on my tongue, I'll come in my jeans, Erin. And we're not allowing that today. You'll have to suffer with me."
3. Connor's ONE reason for getting out of bed every day:
"You're going to make me live for a single stroke of that tight pussy, aren't you? Make me get out of bed just for that hot squeeze every day.
2. Question: How long is Connor's cock? Answer:
When we're finished getting you ready, you'll be begging for inches. I'm going to give you ten.
1. Last year, I read Staking His Claim by Tessa Bailey, and she used the term, "weighty erection" which I thought was the best thing ever. Well she pulled it out again! Hapenis!
"You're going to need a safe word, Erin, because I'm about to do such obscene things to your pussy with my mouth, you're going to scream for me to stop even when you want me to keep going." He slapped her between the thighs with his weighty erection, groaning at the sound of their most sensitive flesh connecting. "Pick a word to scream if you can't take it."

The Beast's season finale airs Thursday (10 pm/ET, A&E,), but whether it's also the series finale of the Patrick Swayze drama remains to be seen.
Nothing has been decided about the fate of the show, in which Swayze plays an undercover FBI agent, a series rep says. Any decision, of course, relies on the more important fate of the show's star, who has battled pancreatic cancer since early last year.
"As has been the case from day one, it is all about Patrick — in a lot of ways," A&E President Bob DeBitetto recently told the Associated Press. "It is about his condition, and when and whether he would be up for another grueling production schedule.
Swayze learned soon after the show's pilot was shot that he had the disease. But he was determined to shoot the first season, despite the physical demands of the role. Co-star Travis Fimmel told TVGuide.com in January: "He's such a man. The sickest thing about him on-set is probably his jokes."
Since them, paparazzi have captured images of the actor looking thin and tired. But his Ghost co-star, Whoopi Goldberg, recently told Us that the actor is still "busy as hell."
"He's kicking butt," she said. "And, you know, he's sick. And he, like the rest of us, doesn't know when it's going to happen — because it will happen, that he is going to go — but he doesn't know when or where."
"His attitude is, why wait for it to happen? So he's busy as hell."

Amanda Freitag has been cooking professionally for more than 20 years with chefs including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Alain Passard, Diane Forley and Tom Valenti.
She is, in no particular order, Chef and TV personality and cookbook author and competitor on Iron Chef and Next Iron Chef. Yup, rock star.
As the popular judge on FOOD NETWORK'S CHOPPED, she was the chef at The Harrison until 2010 and was most recently the executive chef and co-owner of the Empire Diner, which she stepped away from last July to focus on TV and her new book, "THE CHEF NEXT DOOR", which hit bookshelves last September.
Her vision for Empire Diner shines on with FOOD NETWORK'S AMERICAN DINER REVIVAL with Ty Pennington. On the show they take on one diner at a time, with Ty renovating the eateries and Amanda reimagining the menus.
How does she keep her energy up? She does pilates to stretch and strengthen her core- restaurant jobs are grueling and being in great shape makes a huge difference in the kitchen.
As a pastry chef and "mom to 2 rocking girls in Brooklyn", in addition to being the 2005 James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef Award winner, Karen DeMasco has mastered her skills in some of the best restaurant kitchens New York City has to offer. To no surprise, DeMasco was once part of Tom Colicchio's Craft empire where she was known for bringing beautiful simplicity to the dessert menu.
Her delectable maple budino dish became a staple at Locanda Verde and made the New York Times' 11 most memorable dishes of 2009. It sounds more like an experience than a dessert when DeMasco explains, "You eat it and it makes you feel all warm inside."
DeMasco earned her bachelor's degree at Kenyon college and later moved to New York to begin her career in the publishing industry. It wasn't until she started a small catering business out of her apartment that she discovered her passion for baking. She enrolled herself in night courses at the New York Restaurant School where she perfected her baking skills and started making a name for herself. Her tips for the home chef: "Don't try a new recipe when you're having people over! Stick to the tried and true; it's less stressful, and a stressed-out hostess is no fun for anyone."
While taking a break from the restaurant world, DeMasco wrote her cookbook with Mindy Fox, "The Craft of Baking" where she shares some of her signature recipes like her Toasted Almond Semifreddo (pictured below; photo and recipe from foodandwine.com). DeMasco may be unsure of what "the future holds for the restaurant pastry chef" but we are certain that she will continue to be a great success.
Shuna Lydon is a Pastry Chef, Writer, Consultant and Instructor. Her award-winning blog Eggbeater brings the much-needed perspective that is by and for professional cooks, interspersed with personal writing, poetry and photography.
Eggbeater was named one of the "Top 50 Food Blogs in the World" by the London Times and focuses on the lives of cooks, chefs, kitchens, and the reality of the not-so-glamorous lives they lead. As she says, "I consider myself to be part of the old-school or the old guard of cooks: tough, thorough, methodical and efficient in the kitchen."
Lydon has cooked at Gramercy Tavern, The French Laundry, Aziza, Citizen Cake, Peels, and Anna Hansen's The Modern Pantry in London as well as consulting for Ovenly and Bakeri in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. She as truly a "Creator of Deliciousnesses and Organizer of Kitchens."
Alex Raij described her three New York City restaurants in Cherry Bombe this way: Txikito's food is "very naked" and Alex protects the story of simplicity. La Vara is "flavor and texture" focused with the most demanding prep and recipe tweaking. EQD - the acronym for El Quinto Pino - is "a well behaved older child I love to hang out with." Each restaurant is a different story that she wants to tell and she still has many more stories to tell in her head.
Chef Alex Raij and her husband/co-chef Eder Montero took over the Ted & Honey Clinton Street space that is just two doors down from La Vara in Brooklyn. Eater has their new restaurant TEKOA on their radar for exciting openings in 2016.. The first cookbook by chef owners Raij and Montero, The Basque Book, is slated to be released in April 2016.
As a chef/owner and mom, Alex also answered the question of balancing family and being a chef. "Owning your own business is relentless but flexible." As she told Lucky Peach as they took on the subject of the intersection of motherhood and being a chef:
"Bigger picture: I think being a parent makes you be a better person, makes you more patient. The thing no one told me, or I didn't expect, is how exciting it is to be a parent."
With an amazing career path that began in France and includes some of the most celebrated restaurants, Alex Guarnaschelli has taken her own powerful experience with amazing mentors and turned her attention to inspiring the generation of cooks.
Alex's mother was cookbook editor Maria Guarnaschelli and Guarnaschelli learned to eat according to whatever book her mother was working on at the time, whether it was Indian or Italian.
She graduated from Barnard College in 1991 and to explore her culinary interests began working under the tutelage of the acclaimed American chef and restaurateur Larry Forgione.
Forgione encouraged Guarnaschelli to travel and expand her skill set, so she moved to France to do a work study at La Varenne Culinary School in Burgundy. After school, a four day stage at the Michelin three-star restaurant Guy Savoy in Pairs turned into four years as her skill set had her rapidly promoted to sous chef at La Butte Chaillot, another Savoy establishment. "The first three months were terrifying — imagine being a young American woman in charge of a French kitchen with 10 young, male cooks under you? Professionally, it was a life-changing experience," she has said.
After seven successful years in France, Guarnaschelli returned to the US and joined Daniel Boulud at restaurant Daniel, where her skills again moved her quickly through the ranks to become sous chef. After New York, Guarnaschelli moved to Los Angeles for two years to join Joachim Splichal's Patina Group, where she worked at the acclaimed Patina restaurant in West Hollywood before moving to New York to open Splichal's first New York City venture.
In 2003, Guarnaschelli became the executive chef at Butter Restaurant to create her own eclectic American and green market-inspired menu. In addition to her restaurant work, Guarnaschelli is a mentor and inspiration to student chefs as an instructor at New York City's Institute of Culinary Education. Guarnaschelli is also helming the kitchen of the NYC modern dining and cabaret concept, The Darby.
Chef Guarnaschelli is also a TV personality fan-favorite and Food Network has given her many platforms to shine: Chopped, The Cooking Loft and Alex's Day Off, Iron Chef America as both a challenger and a judge and as a competitor on season 4 of The Next Iron Chef. In 2012, she bested nine rival chefs to win The Next Iron Chef: Redemption and joined the ranks of Kitchen Stadium Iron Chefs. Alex released her premiere cookbook, Old-School Comfort Food: The Way I Learned to Cook (Clarkson Potter, 2013), in spring 2013.
In October 2015, Guarnaschelli opened three new concept restaurants in Miami at the new Nautilus South Beach Hotel, 1825 Collins Ave, where she is overseeing all the F&B for the hotel. The Driftwood Room is the main dining room, The Nautilus Cabana Club serves more casual fare by the pool and Alex is also in charge of the property's lobby bar.The menu for Driftwood is described as, "cuisine of South France with a Miami palate." Dishes like cobia crudo, whole roasted cauliflower and Florida head-on shrimp.
Christina Lecki is one of the talents in the team that is helping April Bloomfield and Ken Friedman build their amazing restaurant dynasty: from The Spotted Pig to The Breslin Bar & Dining Room to The John Dory Oyster Bar to Salvation Taco and Tosca in San Francisco.
The Breslin Bar & Dining Room was opened in the Ace Hotel in Manhattan's Flatiron District in 2009. As with only the greatest hotel restaurants, the locals outnumber any tourists. With a Michelin star, adoration from foodies and travelers who love the British-accented pub fare, that is both refined and rustic and pushes you to rethink the classic. As Eater says "it's worth noting that The Breslin, five years after opening, has grown into the best place to eat meat in The Big Apple, period."
The hearty, meat-centric menu at The Breslin has a strong emphasis on artisanal products, small growers, and seasonality. With nose-to-tail cooking, handmade terrines, sausages, charcuterie, the rich-salty-roasted flavors are amazing.
When asked about the talent pool and the need for more women at the helm of kitchens, Ken Friedman refers to Christina Lecki as a "superstar": "She'd like to do her own thing, but she loves us, so eventually we'll do a restaurant built around her."
In the meantime, Lecki has been given creative reign at The Breslin. With her helping opening the John Dory Oyster Bar in 2011, she has a wealth of knowledge about seafood and incorporated a large format lobster boil at The Breslin. It was fully supported by avid fisherwoman and clammer April Bloomfield and as with all elements of the Bloomfield/Friedman group, everything is sourced locally.
Book a night at the new dinner series The Breslin Downstairs in The Breslin's event space at Liberty Hall, at 20 West 29th Street. Each month Lecki will focus on a unique aspect of wine and food culture and celebrate the community of chefs, farmers, foragers, wine producers, writers, and epicureans who contribute to our vibrant culinary scene.
Award-Winning Pastry Chef Ghaya Oliveira first came to the New York from her native Tunisia in 1998 and decided to leave her career as a stock trader and pursue creative challenges in the culinary world.
She was ready however for her new career that was just as teeming with testosterone and competition. With traditional French pastry training, a refined palate, unexpected flavor combinations, Ghaya Oliveira is a testament to skill, hard work and patience. "Working in a kitchen is not easy at all. It's very challenging for anyone, not just because I'm a woman. It's a big sacrifice and—it sounds really awful—work comes first. My family was second to me, and they understand because they knew how much I wanted this, so they were very patient."
She graduated from the Culinary Academy and then earned a degree in Restaurant Management from the French Culinary Institute. Ghaya joined Café Boulud in New York in 2001.
When Chef Daniel Boulud opened Bar Boulud in 2007, he called upon Ghaya to become Executive Pastry Chef. Being responsible for menu development and sourcing ingredients, citing the local farmers' markets as inspiration.
In July 2013, Boulud named Ghaya Executive Pastry at his flagship DANIEL. Boulud notes: "Ghaya is a success story that I never tire of telling—pastry was not her first career, and she's worked her way up within the organization. She is a rare culinary talent, constantly growing and innovating, and precisely the type of chef I look to helm my flagship restaurant."
She was nominated by the James Beard Foundation for "Outstanding Pastry Chef" in 2012 and again in 2015.

This document aims to assist ship operators in meeting the requirements of the ISM Code with respect to shipboard maintenance.It provides guidance on the development and improvement of maintenance management systems by establishing the principles on which they should be based, and by identifying their fundamental elements.
Be the first to review this product
The management of shipboard maintenance is often regarded as an entirely technical matter, somehow unrelated to safety and pollution prevention, and the exclusive responsibility of the technical staff. As a result, shipboard maintenance is the least-developed and weakest element in many management systems. This increases the risks to personnel, property and the environment, and can result in substantial costs arising from repairs and operational delays. It not only threatens ISM certification, but also increases the risk of port state control detentions.
CHAPTER 1 What the Code Says About Maintenance
Compliance with relevant rules and regulations
Reporting and investigation of technical deficiencies and non-conformities
The Corrective Action Process
CHAPTER 2 A Systematic Approach to Maintenance
Maintenance intervals
Inspection methods
Permit-to-work systems

New revelations in an NRL breach notice against the Parramatta Eels reportedly show the club secretly arranged almost $500,000 in deals for failed NFL convert Jarryd Hayne since 2013.
Official documents and boardroom minutes show a trail of salary cap discrepancies in the star fullback's third party deals with the club from 2013 to 2015, News Corp reported on Tuesday.
They allegedly include cash payments, first class overseas travel and car expenses adding up to $465,000, all hidden from the NRL.
The revelations follow Hayne's surprise news on Monday that he was quitting the San Francisco 49ers and a US gridiron career to chase Olympic gold with Fiji's Rugby Sevens team.
AdvertisementAdvertise with NZME.
Third-party payments to players must be done on an arm's length basis from the club and it's a breach of salary cap rules if a club makes a payment on behalf of third parties.
News Corp said there was no suggestion Hayne was aware his payments were contrary to NRL rules or that Hayne had done anything wrong.

How Tuesday: Maternity Pants Into Capris
Do you like my new Capris?
They will be awesome to wear while running around after the kids this summer. So comfy.
And do you believe that they used to be maternity pants?
Yup - that is me wearing the "before" pants. I loved these pants when I was pregnant. My aunt sent them to me to wear and I wore them A LOT! But what to do with them now? I tried to continue wearing them for awhile, but they just made me look like a fat slob. Too baggy in all the wrong places. But still so comfy.
I decided they needed a Capri make-over!
Join me while I show you how it's done. Then you can go and update some of your maternity pants too :D
Supplies Needed:
- one pair of old maternity pants
- matching thread
- sewing machine
Time needed:
- this project took me 20 minutes and I was busy taking pictures of every step
Skill Needed:
- easy, some sewing machine work
These pants have two pretty pink stripes along the sides. I didn't want to touch those, so I had to do the adjustments along the in-seam.
Step one:
Turn your pants inside out. Try them on. Very carefully pin along the in-seam where you would like to "take in" the pants. This can be a little tricky. Be sure not to poke yourself! Make sure also to mark where you would like to cut off the pants. Capris can be any length from mid-ankle to right above your need. Whatever is your personal preference. I marked mine a little below my knee.
If you don't wanna stare at the picture of my crotch (above) then here is another picture of the pants laid out.
Those tiny white dots are actually the pins I used to measure. The ones in the middle of the pants are marking the length I want.
Step Two:
- Cut the legs of the pants off a little bit below the marking you made to allow to a hem.
Step Three:
- sew in a line along where your pins are. All the way up one leg's in-seam, through the crotch and down the other leg's in-seam. Be sure to stitch twice over the crotch area because it's where most of the wear on the garment will be.
Step Four:
- Cut the excess fabric away from your seam. Leave a little bit of fabric there to finish seams. I left mine unfinished because I was using a pair of knit pants that don't fray anyway. Finish the seams with a serger or a zig zag stitch if you're using a fabric that frays.
Step Five:
- Hem your Capris.
Don't I look cute? I could probably stand to take them in a bit in the bum as well. Maybe I'll wait until I'm all healed up and start exercising again. I'll take them in at the back after I lose a few pounds ;)
As always, if you try out this tutorial with a pair of your own maternity pants, I would love to see the results. You can email me (link in my profile) with a photo, post a blog about it and link it in the comments below, or share on the Tawny Bee Flickr Group.
Sharing this tutorial with some awesome people:
