text: Film Producer Frank DeMartini Considering Run Against Maxine Waters (Exclusive) 1:37 PM PDT 7/20/2017 by Paul Bond FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images He plans to present himself to voters as the son of blue-collar, FDR Democrats from Long Island who didn't cross party lines until voting for Ronald Reagan in 1980. Film producer Frank DeMartini is seriously considering a run at unseating Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), The Hollywood Reporter learned on Thursday. DeMartini, a former lieutenant under Avi Lerner, the prolific producer behind the Expendables and Rambo franchises, was approached by Republican party officials about two months ago to see if he'd run against Waters in California's 43rd Congressional District, insiders say. "You called me. It's true. I am thinking about it," DeMartini told THR on Thursday. "I'm being asked to consider a run. I still don't have my ducks in a row. My team is in the process of building a website." DeMartini's producer and executive producer credits include Mechanic: Resurrection and Ninja: Shadow of a Tear (both with Lerner), along with Elephant White, starring Kevin Bacon and Djimon Hounsou; Mad Money starring Diane Keaton, Katie Holmes and Ted Danson; and Journey to the End of the Night, starring Brendan Fraser. DeMartini is among a small group of Republicans in Hollywood unafraid to mix it up with liberals in the famously left-leaning entertainment industry. In 2013, he and a dozen others in the industry met secretly in a Loews Hollywood Hotel with White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, who was chairman of the Republican National Committee at the time. DeMartini also runs HollywoodRepublican.net, a website for commentary from conservatives in the entertainment industry. Last week, DeMartini wrote an article at the site under the headline, "It's Time for Maxine Waters to Disappear." In the article, DeMartini writes that Waters appears "borderline senile" and that she "has gone completely off the rail on President Trump" as a leader in the impeachment movement. He also writes that her positions have been "almost toxic to black Americans," as well as to Hispanic business owners and Evangelical Christians. "She stands for abortion on demand. She stands for gay marriage. And, she stands for transgender bathrooms. In fact, socially, she has absorbed every one of the Obama Administration's most liberal positions," DeMartini writes. According to those familiar with his thinking, DeMartini plans to present himself to voters as the son of blue-collar, FDR Democrats from Long Island who didn't cross party lines until voting for Ronald Reagan in 1980. DeMartini's dad worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and was a cleaning man in a department store, while his mom was an aide at a school cafeteria. While the congressional election is in November 2018, some are speculating that Waters may also be gearing up for a presidential run in 2020, which is why she is set to make an appearance Sunday in New Hampshire, an early primary state. "Maxine Waters is too busy going national to think about her constituency," said one person familiar with DeMartini's plans. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Paul Bond email@example.com @thr

SALEM, Ore. -- In what proved to be both a slugfest and a pitcher's duel, UC Davis scored two runs in the top of the ninth to take a 7-5 decision over third ranked North Dakota State at the NCAA Division II Softball Championships.
Emily Hetzner and Susan Churchwell each had RBI singles in the ninth for the Aggies. Hetzner went 2-for-5 with three RBIs and Churchwell went 2-for-4 at the plate with the one RBI.
Churchwell started the game for UC Davis, but was chased after giving up a two-run home run from Molly Pufall in the fifth. Amy Rosson came in for the Aggies and shut down the powerful NDSU lineup, striking out 12 of the 16 batters she faced including a string of seven straight.
"She did a great job for us," said UC Davis head coach Kathy DeYoung. "She was patient until we could put together some hits."
Lindsey Graham took the loss for the Lady Bison, despite retiring 13 consecutive batters at one time.
NDSU got on the scoreboard in the second inning, when Heather Hyatt delivered a two run, bases loaded single off of Churchwell.
UC Davis answered in the third, when Hetzner hit a two run single and Megan Turman scored her with a liner down the right field line to give the Aggies a 3-2 advantage.
Turman again delivered for UC Davis in the fourth, giving the Aggies a 5-2 advantage with a two run single.
NDSU got a single run in the fourth frame, when Meghan Potter scored on a wild pitch.
UC Davis advances in the winner's bracket to face either Georgia College and State University or Shippensburg, while North Dakota State will face LeMoyne in an elimination game Saturday at noon PST.

The caliphate is off the map for now, but will evolve in dangerous ways
The so-called Islamic State (IS) recently lost its last remnant of territory in Syria, but observers were quick to remind the world that the war against the organization is far from over.
In the face of its evolution, it may seem like maintaining IS in a contained geographic pocket would have been better than eradicating its primary territorial base altogether. With its defeat on the ground in Syria and Iraq, however, IS and its offshoots will have a more limited capacity for recruitment, indoctrination, and growth.
Territorial control allows armed groups to force local populations into compliance and conformity with their ideological outlook. Since its inception, IS understood that its radical "Islamic" community does not locally exist. Instead, the organization set about creating it.
Under IS, spectacles of brutality and violence were a key part of this. Public executions involved people being incinerated, stoned, decapitated, and thrown off towers. Staged in front of local people, these executions were carefully choreographed, and meticulously documented and disseminated.
IS explicitly claimed that these acts of brutality were intended to create a vacuum.
Data personally collected between 2012 and 2014 shows that many living under the rule of radicalized groups such as IS judge these groups based on their own immediate day-to-day conditions rather than the organization's overall performance or outlook. If administrative structures function and people have access to food and basic services, local populations may overlook the occupying force's ideology.
The 2014 executions of members of the Sunni Arab al-Sheitaat tribe, in Deir el-Zor, Syria, are a case in point.
Such atrocities were examples of IS consolidating its power through the elimination of rivals and the suppression of potential or real dissent within its area of control. Faced with this, local populations had no choice but to imitate expressions of religiosity as defined by IS and to demonstrate compliance
The question of how IS's methods impacted local populations in the long run is yet to be answered. A lot will depend on what happens next in its former territory and to those living there now.
Either way, while IS is badly incapacitated, it certainly is not finished. It will most likely splinter into new organizations which might try to establish territorial control elsewhere. In the meantime, IS will continue to try to nurture its virtual communities and seek new audiences online.

On a wet and windy day, a bunch students from Larkin Community College visited ChildVision headquarters in Drumcondra. Some third years presented ChildVision with the tactile book they created, entitled Lexi and Billy and the second years were presenting them with eight story sacks.
After a visit from ChildVision and a request from them for tactile books or story sacks for the visually impaired children in their care, our third years decided to create a tactile book for very small children. Several stories were suggested, but the best story was created by Tia and Nicole based on the things that their 2-year-old sister and niece like to do in a day.
The third years spent eight weeks working on the book and are very proud of it. It was a difficult task for any group but a few students in this group have dyslexia and can struggle with reading and writing, which affects their confidence. The Library held a book launch to showcase the fantastic book that they produced during which the students demonstrated the book to attendees who wore dark glasses to help them appreciate how tactile the book is. Class tutors, teachers and the Deputy Principal attended the launch along with almost 50 students.
The story sacks created by the second years and contain several props related to a previously published children's book. For example, the We're Going on a Bear Hunt sack contains the book and many props that relate to the book.
The new library in ChildVision is amazing, full of bright and colourful shapes and textures. The students listened to a talk about the library and the work that they do. The students were fascinated to hear about how difficult it is to create books in braille, and how much space these books take up in the house of a visually impaired child. One visually impaired teenager, Johnny, who helps out in the library, happened to be there and graciously came and talked to our students about his life and his impairment.
A braillist created name tags in braille for each of our students and showed them the machines they use. One student expressed an interest in doing her transition year work experience in ChildVision next year.
We then explored the grounds, checking out all the animals and other interesting things they have at ChildVision--chickens, goats, bunnies, a fairy garden, horses, birds, greenhouse etc. We are very proud of the book our students produced and how much effort they put in to the story sacks, and we hope to continue to help ChildVision in the future.

Today is pancake day, so of course I had to make pancakes for breakfast :) Over the weekend I made the Martha Stewart pancakes which I wrote about here and they were more American style and were really good! I usually make the thin type and generally follow this recipe, although I only use 1 egg, and I made these today as I think they're quicker to make than American style. Sadly we've run out of nutella but I still had a couple of strawberries with sugar. Although the bag of sugar does seem to have a hole in the bottom as my kitchen floor was covered in it afterwards, oops :/
I've been spending a bit of my birthday money online and am currently waiting for my Tala Icing Bag Set in Tin so I can start baking cupcakes as I've lost part of my old icing bag set, and this one looks so cute in the tin! I'm also expecting my Echo Park For the Record Paper Collection Kit to come soon, so I can continue scrapbooking, love the alphas and elements in this set. So hopefully they'll be here tomorrow!
I also just found out that last Thursday was apparently something called Fat Thursday, gutted I missed out on that one. It's a Polish tradition, an alternative to pancake day, where they basically eat a lot of doughnuts - I've marked it on my calender for next year!
Anyone celebrate Fat Thursday here? Seems like a good thing to celebrate :p

For CY7B994V, the internal VCO ranges from 400MHz to 800MHz. But there is an extra divider between VCO output and output divider. The clock output after the extra divider is called Fnom. Fnom ranges from 24MHz to 200MHz for CY7B994V. Fnom can be divided by the output divider (1 to 12). So you can NOT use one Robo clock get all 33, 66, 100 and 133MHz outputs. If the you don't need the programmable skew feature, you can use one CY23FP12 to get all 33, 66, 100, and 133MHz from any of 33, 66, 100, and 133MHz input. If you do need programmable skew feature, you have to use two robo CY7B9945s.
Note that on either CY23FP12 or robos, different banks can have the different output frequencies simultaneously, as controlled by the output divider chosen for that bank.

noun, plural - man·kys.
- a map that loves the great outdoors.
Origin: 2010;
The Outdoor Education and Learning Department at Gordonstoun School, Scotland, commissioned Manky Maps to reproduce their site orienteering map and location map on a Manky. The expansive grounds at Gordonstoun mean a 3D location map is a must for visitors. Combine the 3D location map with the orienteering map on the reverse and the need to provide single use paper maps is eliminated.
There were a number of adjustments to make to the existing artwork but the effort was well worth it. This project is an environmentally sound use of the Manky with a succession of fledgling orienteering students using the Manky time and time again.

April Fool's Day!
But, on the Good News front - I sold 2 paintings this week! As I mentioned before, my Tuesday watercolor class hang our paintings down the hall of the church where we have our lessons. This week, the church secretary asked to purchase the following two paintings. I'm so thrilled that they are going to a nice home! They had been hanging side-by-side, in the same frames. The colors in the paintings are very similar, and I'm sure that helped to make the sale!

Summary: Enjoy a visit to Mason Creek Winery located at Old Lynndale Farms in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. Here you will discover a winemaker who is passionate about producing quality wine.
Mason Creek Winery is the result of Kyle Gomon falling in love with wine and eventually becoming fascinated with the process of winemaking. Gomon is an engineer and also teaches classes at a technical school. After eight years of producing wine from grapes in the sunroom of his home, Kyle wrote a business plan and two years later discussed it with others. After determining there was a market for his wines, he established Mason Creek Winery, naming it after the creek running past his home. After producing wine in his home, Kyle moved the winery to an old 1930's gas station. Five years later he was ready for a larger space.
Today Mason Creek Winery occupies a rented space in a turn of the century barn where he has been located for three years. To the side of the tasting room is a bakery that specializes in gluten-free bread. During the early 1960's the barn was purchased by a developer who established a renowned racetrack nearby and used the barn for maintaining the sports cars.
The current winery area is divided into two spaces. One is for the stainless steel tanks, many of which are milk tanks frequently found in Wisconsin. The other half of the area is dedicated to the tasting room where visitors will discover many hand-decorated pieces of glassware including stemware and vases. Several different types of crackers are available including bite-sized cookies and Focaccia Crisps -Tuscan style crackers.
While Kyle has attempted to source Marechal Foch grapes from Wisconsin, it is not practical as most vineyards that have Marechal Foch grapes keep them for their own winemaking. Kyle sources wine grape juice from New York and California.
Two of the wine labels are particularly unique, the wine label for the Swanky Cat and the label for the '47 Pickup wines. Swanky Cat pictures a cat dressed in a suit and tie with a hat. '47 Pickup depicts a picture of a blue 1947 pickup truck. Kyle's cousin, who is on staff at The Art Institute of Chicago, created both labels.
Kyle produces several wines. Swanky Cat was made from Chardonel grapes. The aroma was reminiscent of baked pie with citrus notes. The citrus taste finished crisp with a grapefruit aftertaste. Goman's Gold offered an aroma of apple nuances with a smooth mouth feel. There was a floral essence on the finish.
River Red was made with Marechal Foch grapes. It had a cherry with a hint of strawberry aroma and taste. The wine finished crisp and fruity. De La Flirt wine was named by a customer who suggested "flirt" during a contest. De La is from the town's name. Produced from a Steubin grape, the taste was sweet and light. It would be good for warm sunny days. Cranberry was produced with grapes from Wisconsin. This wine is most popular between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. The residual sugar is three percent and the alcohol is 12 percent.
Events include July Wine Days and Vino Rest Sip in September. Frequently on summer and fall weekends live music by local artists can be enjoyed. Visitors are welcome to pack a picnic and enjoy it on the grass outside of the winery.
When you visit Mason Creek Winery, enjoy visiting with Kyle and discovering his enthusiasm for wine and winemaking.

It's a particular bugbear of mine that so many admirable, in other respects, model railways exist on a perfect plane. The world is an incredible place which exists in at least three dimensions.
Most model railway worlds only exist above the track plane. The existence of a topology, geology or landscape below the plane is difficult if the traditional baseboard approach is taken. That is, a large expanse of plane material, plywood, MDF or other composite upon which the builder's world is realised.
So my diorama which will represent a scene from another universe quite like, but not actually ours. It will need to encompass this physical specification.
The baseboards on this microcosm will be built as a space-frame, supporting the track plane but, in this case, will accommodate up to 50 scale feet below the track bed.
The frames are glued and screwed from 18mm plywood.
The track bed – not yet laid on the frames – will be made of 12mm Homasote – known as SunDeala in the UK. Homasote is a paper composite board commonly used for thermal and sound isolation, but is light, easily cut and formed, strong and durable enough to support a model railway and provide a degree of sound damping for the tracks. More about that another day.
The layout itself will be an end-to-end on a 12ft x 2ft plan made up of three 4ft x 2ft space-frame modules. The rest of the universe as we know it will be represented by invisible fiddle-yards at each end.
The station itself isn't actually a station at all. It's a halt. People wishing to get off the train would tell the guard who'd arrange for the train to stop. People wishing to get on would hold their hand out and hope the driver would see it.
This halt is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, although the village of Bolsworth Warren is a mile or so down the road along with Bolsworthy Manor Hotel and Links for walkers and golfers. The Warren and the hotel are on the spring-line.
It incorporates a passing loop and old industrial spur for operational interest.
On the northern boundary – the left – the scene will be broken by an old china clay facility of some nature, and towards the south – the right – a road over-bridge.
The rest of the world will be represented by a fantastic panorama devised for me by my nephew, Jamie Halton, from quite an extensive and detailed brief. That really is Dartmoor back in the distance. The image itself will be behind in a large ellipse and incorporate as many scenic breaks as I can devise to make the whole appear seamless between 3D and 2D.
More about Boltorr Road Halt another day. More practically, proof of concept test track and scenery practice, next Boltorr Halt article …

If convenient it may also be given in the gluteal region (buttocks) or the deltoid region (shoulder). The patient's blood glucose (sugar) should be tested regularly to find the lowest effective dose. The usual dose is between 0.3 and 1.0 international units (IU) per kilogram body weight per day. Mixtard is usually given once or twice a day when a rapid initial effect together with a more long-lasting effect is needed.
How does it work?
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin to control the blood glucose. Mixtard is a replacement insulin which is identical to the insulin made by the pancreas. The active substance in Mixtard, insulin human (rDNA), is produced by a method known as ?recombinant technology?: the insulin is made by a yeast that has received a gene (DNA), which makes it able to produce insulin. Mixtard contains insulin in two forms: the soluble form, which acts quickly (within 30 minutes of injection) and the ?isophane? form which is absorbed much more slowly during the day.
This gives Mixtard a longer duration of action. The replacement insulin acts in same way as naturally produced insulin and helps glucose enter cells from the blood. By controlling the blood glucose, the symptoms and complications of diabetes are reduced.
How has it been studied?
Mixtard has been studied in a total of 294 patients with type 1 diabetes,when the pancreas cannot produce insulin, and type 2 diabetes, when the body is unable to use insulin effectively. About one-third of the patients had type 1 diabetes and the remainder had type 2 diabetes. The study compared Mixtard 30 to a similar mix, but made up using an insulin analogue (insulin aspart). The study measured the level of a substance in the blood called glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) after 12 weeks, which gives an indication of how well the blood glucose is controlled.
What benefits has it shown during the studies?
Mixtard led to a decrease in the level of HbA1c, indicating that blood glucose levels had been controlled to a similar level to that seen with other human insulin. Mixtard was effective for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
What is the risk associated?
As with all insulins, Mixtard may cause hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose). For the full list of all side effects reported with Mixtard, see the Package Leaflet.
Mixtard should not be used in people who may be hypersensitive (allergic) to insulin human (rDNA) or to any of the other ingredients. Mixtard doses might also need to be adjusted when given with a number of other medicines which may have an effect on blood glucose. The full list is available in the Package Leaflet.

Ten innovative models of the next generation of arts journalism will be presented at the summit. Five of the projects, chosen from among 108 submissions, will be in competition for a total of $15,000 in prize money, courtesy of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. They will be announced on the day of the summit. The five other projects will not be in the competition, but will also be presented during the summit as models notable for their use of technology, contribution to online community growth and the advancement of arts journalism's future. "The summit is part of our commitment to help reinvent journalism in the 21st century," USC Annenberg Dean Ernest J. Wilson III said. Primarily a virtual event, the summit will be streamed live in front of a live audience; viewers from around the world will be able to participate via text messaging and Twitter. All ten presentations will be archived and available after the event on the summit Web site: www.najp.org/summit. The five showcase projects that have already been chosen are: -- Sophie: A new authoring tool for multimedia developed by the Institute for Multimedia Literacy that suggests new possibilities for presenting critical response. -- The Indianapolis Museum of Art: With its Art Babble and Dashboard, the IMA is an example of a cultural institution extending its reach into areas that have traditionally been the province of journalism. -- InstantEncore.com: An example of an aggregator attempting to gather everything about an art form (in this case classical music) and making it accessible in one place. -- NPR Music: An example of a traditional big media company that is reinventing itself across platforms. NPR Music blurs the lines between journalism, curation, presenting and producing. -- Gazette Communications; Cedar Rapids, Iowa: An example of a local media company that is trying to reinvent the idea of what is news and how it might be gathered and presented. The summit will also include two roundtable discussions; one moderated by Laura Sydell, arts correspondent for NPR, will focus on the evolving art of arts journalism, and the other moderated by Andras Szanto, director of the NEA Arts Journalism Institute in Classical Music and Opera, will explore the business of supporting arts journalism.

FOUR high-spec bikes worth around £6,000 were stolen when a Pencoed garage was raided last week.
Police in Bridgend are investigating after the cycles were taken from a garage on Pant y Celyn between 5am on Monday, April 2, and 4am on Wednesday, April 4.
The bikes are a blue and black Mongoose Rockadile men's mountain bike with SPD pedals and front suspension, a red Transition Pro men's racing bike, which also had a black Cateye wireless cycling computer attached and red pedals, a white and red Dolce women's road bike and a white and black Tarmac Comp men's bike with Look Keo pedals.
South Wales Police now want to speak to anyone who saw the raid or may have been offered an opportunity to buy one of the stolen bikes.
Neighbourhood Inspector Paul Tinkler said: "Crimes of this nature are unusual in this area and I want to remind residents always to lock their possessions away and to ensure their property is always kept secure."
Anyone with any information should contact Insp Tinkler at Bridgend Police Station on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island – Fort Wayne, Indiana
My visit to Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island was an unexpected stop. ChiBBQKing had suggested that I add it to my food itinerary just earlier in the day. I had gone out to grab some coffee and was talking on the phone to David Arbetter, owner of Miami landmark Arbetter Hot Dogs.
After having an almost half-hour conversation about coney dogs in the parking lot of a Starbucks, I not only skipped out on coffee but drove out to Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island.
I don't show up to eat at a restaurant 30 minutes to closing time. I'm the guy who shows up 30 minutes before the spot opens and waits in my car so I can be the first customer.
I opened the door, and to my surprise, it was packed. It was a Sunday and a good 45 minutes before closing time, not my usual eating modus operandi. I found a table near the back by what I thought was the kitchen door and which oddly also doubles as a backdoor entrance to the place.
My ice cold 8 oz Coke arrives first, and I try my hardest not to have any so I can enjoy it with my food. While waiting, I notice that not only does the staff work like a well-oiled machine but that they still make the time to be friendly with everyone. It was nice to see that.
In no time, my two Coney Dogs (Grilled Hot Dog topped with Mustard, Homemade Coney Sauce, Hand Chopped Onions on a Steamed Bun) and Cheeseburger (Cheese, Mustard, Ketchup, Pickle, Onion topped Burger) arrive.
I don't want to undermine how good the cheeseburger was, but it was no match for the coney dog. I'm thinking about it right now and wishing I could find a real deal coney somewhere in South Florida. Well, until that day comes, I'll have to continue to daydream about this one.
P.S.: I called David Arbetter a second time. He loves to eat hot dogs on his travels so I wanted him to know that he needed to add Fort Wayne's Famous Coney Island to his Hot Dog Bucket List.

Modi dials UK PM, expresses concern over violent protests outside Indian mission
New Delhi, Aug 21: Prime Minister, Narendra Modi dialled his British counterpart Boris Johnson and raised concern about the violent protests that took place outside the Indian mission in London on Independence Day.
It may be recalled that thousands of Pakistanis and Khalistani supporters held a violent protest on August 15. They clashed with the Indian diaspora and raised anti-India slogans.

Modi drew attention to the challenges that were being posed by vested interests and said that they were pursuing their motivated agenda including by violent means, an Indian government readout said.
"In this context, he referred to the violence and vandalism perpetrated by a large mob against the High Commission of India in London on the last Independence Day of India," the readout also said.
Johnson regretted the incident and assured the safety of the Indian mission. The readout also said, "Prime Minister Johnson assured that all necessary steps would be taken to ensure safety and security of the High Commission, its personnel and visitors."

Children's books have nestled in my heart for years, as I fondly remember certain titles or times spent perusing book fairs full of dust and memories. These days I have the perfect excuse to finally start a collection: an eighteen-month-old who loves her libros. I am still a few years away from the books I hold dear from my childhood, fragile pages and sensitive spines that would never survive the hard use the new sturdier titles endure — new titles that I happily read over and over, repetition that gives me a chance to analyze every detail.
It is well understood that books are fountains of knowledge — be it a historical reference book or a lesson learned at an early age, where colors, shapes, objects, experiences and facts of life are explained to children in many ways — knowledge that needs to be clearly communicated. As I try to teach my daughter the shapes known as letters that form the words she loves to pronounce loudly into my ear, I am bemused at the type selections and the art of typesetting.
There are the traditional and legible selections that leave little to the imagination and play a secondary role to the story and the illustrations.
Then you have the marriage between comic sans and childish handwriting that makes my skin crawl more than fingernails on a chalkboard.
The use of all caps is also a favorite. While I see the ease of working in the caps and then the lowers in the learning experience, I can't for the life of me see how a child is supposed to read everything in caps — especially is the base line shifts, the kerning is in the negative realm or the boldness of each letter is different based on size changes that are badly executed.
How am I supposed to teach her each letter, when individual letters are so similar? Oh, double-story "a" where art thou?
When the iteration of each letter can vary so greatly?
Is she supposed to drive her bike from one letter to the next and add them to make a word to make up for bad kerning? When does a word end?
And while at it, what is up with all the centered type?
Ultimately, some things should not be done. Ever.
So, to any children's book designers out there who might be reading this, I dutifully beg: see the letters from a child's perspective. Not everything needs to be set in Helvetica, but do remember how hard it was to learn/teach letters, reading and writing and ask yourself and those involved if you are helping or confusing the hell out of those four feet and under.

Kevin and I have been to different parts of California throughout the years and have always had a great time while enjoying the beauty and diversity of the state. There is so much to see, so much to do. It is quite an interesting state to say the least – it's artsy and outdoorsy, there is crop and cattle farming, mountains, cliffs and beaches – there is something different at every turn.
As we traveled along the coast we stopped at places we've never been, and also at places we've been before and really enjoy (Carmel and Santa Cruz).
Because of fires, we had to change our plans for some of the areas we wanted to see. As we drove through California, scorched landscape related to current and prior fires was unfortunately a common observation. Nonetheless, the California landscape is absolutely beautiful!
We entered California heading south from Oregon. Our first stops were Crescent City and Eureka/Ferndale. We skipped around the Redding wildfire, and continued down the coast, bypassed another wildfire near Clearlake and hunkered down for a few days in Napa. We then took a run across California to the Nevada border for a week in the Lake Tahoe area. After we returned we went through the San Francisco area and spent some time in Felton, in the Redwood forests, and then right down the road to Santa Cruz. We continued on Route 1 and witnessed some gorgeous California scenery in the beautiful areas of Marina, Monterey and Carmel.
One of the most beautiful drives was the scenic 17-Mile Drive in Pebble Beach which is between Montery and Carmel. Beautiful snow-white beaches, coastal cliffs, forests and iconic golf courses. AND, very extravagant, ultra expensive homes. Quite an interesting drive! After our drive we continued on to Carmel. Carmel is a very pretty and little artsy town with store front wine tastings, art galleries, boutiques and plenty of restaurants. I probably had the BEST burger I ever had at the 401 Degree Gourmet Burgers & Fries. YUM! Unfortunately I just read that they recently closed their doors. The owners have other fine dining restaurants in the area and that is their focus. I am very glad we were able to enjoy one of their gourmet burgers.
After staying in Santa Cruz and Carmel, we changed our drive to south and east on Route 101 from Route 1, because at this spot in the state this is where Route 1 turns into a roller coaster along the Pacific coast. We've traveled on Route 1 before (without an RV) and know that with an RV the size of ours, it's not real wise to take this route 😳. The whole way down the coast from Washington to California seemed like a rollercoaster (white knuckle) drive to me. Our plans had us heading to Las Vegas. We took a short break in Bakersfield, CA for a few days before making the run through the desert to Vegas.
All in all we spent a month exploring California. Our stops along the way were way too many for me to possibly give all details of each area. I'm afraid I would quickly lose you to boredom . So we'll take you on a couple slideshow tours with captions.
We hope you enjoy!
Crescent City/Ferndale/Napa/Lake Tahoe
Santa Cruz/Marina
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Pebble Beach 17 Mile Drive
Our upcoming stops as we make our way to Arizona for the winter, are Las Vegas, Zion National Park and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park. Hope you will join us!

Sump Pump Sydney, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Melbourne
A sump pump is a device that prevents water from accumulating in the foundation or basement of your home. It is no secret that if water is sitting in the basement, it can compromise your home's foundation. To prevent water from entering your building, contact a specialist to install a sump pump.
The installation will lay pipes on the outside of your building or home. The water from your property will be sent to the main line sewers or somewhere away from your property where the water does not cause a problem, such as a municipal storm drain or dry well. The sump pump that will be installed in the basement or on the ground floor of your building will automatically pump out the water that comes down your drain pipes. The device will prevent both visible and invisible water damage to your home or business.
Prevent Nasty Water Build Up With Sump Pump
Dirty water build up on your property can compromise your health and the safety of your living space. Allergies, water borne diseases, and respiratory infections are just some of the hazards that you may experience from water build-up. Draining the water out from the basement is nearly impossible without a quality sump pump. Because of the importance of a sump pump in your building, it is important to call a real specialist in your area. The installation process involves routing an outlet pipe, lining piping and digging a sump pit. These process is very complicated and should be only done by experts.
Types of Sump Pumps
A pressure sensor or float activator is usually used to activate sump pumps when the sump pit is filled with water. Sump pumps are connected to pipes that run to a drainage area outside the building designed to hold the water without any problem. However, there are sump pumps that are manually operated and do not have an inbuilt sensor. If you have an old sump pump, you may want to install a new one with built in sensor.
Sump pumps that are available in the market today come in two designs. The submersible design is placed in the pit with a waterproof casing. On the top of the pump is the outlet and at the very bottom of the device is the actual pump. Another type is the pedestal pump where the pump sits outside the pit. Pedestal pump uses an inlet pipe to take the water out of the pit and into the pump.

Red Tractor Week showcases benefits of farm assurance
The benefits of farm assurance auditing for consumers and producers is being spelled out during the latest Red Tractor Week (11-17 September), in an effort to raise the profile of quality-assured British food.
The marque already has a high level of recognition among consumers, at 68%, but there is less clear understanding of what it actually stands for.
See also: Red Tractor changes its farm standards
As such, each day the organisation is providing a series of blog posts explaining the logistics of farm assurance – how farms are inspected for high animal welfare and environmental protection, what is allowed in terms of medication, and what Red Tractor for traceability.
The blog posts also include short video clips of farmers explaining some of the basics of production and the role of Red Tractor auditing.
To encourage consumer involvement, the organisation has also teamed up with various food companies to offer prizes – such as a hamper of duck products from Gressingham Duck, and a dairy hamper from Wyke Farm.
The blog posts also include a daily recipe, while visitors may enter a free competition to win a £400 Original Cottages holiday voucher.
The launched of Red Tractor Week follows the publication of a new report from NFU Mutual into food fraud, which emphasised the important role of quality assurance in building consumer confidence.
Even though overall consumers are less trusting of food supply chains than they were five years ago, 67% of shoppers said they use food assurance stamps to help them choose the products they buy.
The Fairtrade stamp is the most influential, highlighted by 44% of the 2,000 respondents, with Red Tractor close behind on 42%.
A spokesman for Red Tractor confirmed that some 75% of UK farms are now signed up to the scheme, while the marque covers some £12bn of food each year.
Only foods that have been assured right through the supply chain, from farm to pack, may carry the logo.

- Chelsea preparing a £30M bid for Aaron Ramsey.
- Ramsey has less than 12-months left on his Arsenal deal.
- READ MORE: Chelsea alerted to Pulisic contract situation
Chelsea are reportedly preparing a £30M bid for Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey.
The arrival of Jorginho at Stamford Bridge hasn't put a stop to rumours linking Chelsea with signing another midfielder.
It's unclear whether Danny Drinkwater or Tiemoue Bakayoko will be here next season. We could soon find ourselves in need of another.
After Aleksandr Golovin signed for Monaco, Chelsea appear to have moved on to alternative targets. Ramsey could be one of them.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are ready to offer £30M for the Arsenal midfielder this summer.
Ramsey is entering the final year of his contract with the Gunners. There is no agreement in place over an extension, which leaves a question mark over his future at the Emirates.
Whether Arsenal will be prepared to sell to us remains to be seen, but if the price is right, they may well be tempted.
They were backed into a corner by Alexis Sanchez earlier this year and were forced to allow him to join Manchester United. That ought to give us some encouragement.

RSAP_BIW_CONNECT_40 module in the test environment.
Fill in your import parameters as shown in the screenshot.
The parameter
I_SLOGSYS is the logical name of the source system. If you're not sure what this is,
consult the
T000 table for the respective client (LOGSYS field).
The field
I_SAPRL will have a default value set by the SAP system.
Then execute the function module using F8.
The values for the parameters
I_BASIC_IDOC and
I_TSPREFIX must be unique for the different RFC Destinations.
If you set the values ZXTIDOC and XT for XTRACT01, you can set e.g. ZX2IDOC and X2 for XTRACT02.
Now go back into the
SM59 transaction and delete the destination that you created in STEP 1
(Detailed View -> Menu -> Delete).
Then create a new destination with exactly the same name, but this time of the type
T = TCP/IP. The activation type has to be a Registered Server Program. Enter the name of the destination for the program ID.
Set the following fields:
Gateway Host: is the name (or IP address) of your SAP system (
ptmalg is the name of our SAP system used in this example)
Gateway Service: is generally
sapgwNN, where NN is the ID of your SAP system, i.e. a number between 00 and 99.
Launch the
RSAS_RBWBCRL_STORE module as shown below. Its purpose is to activate the new target system.
Refer to our knowledge base for registering the RFC Server in SAP
Go to SAP transaction
SMQS. Select the destination created in STEP 4, e.g. XTRACT01. Use button
Register without activation (or
Reg. o. Aktivierung) and change the Max.Conn. parameter to 10. Increase this value when running several DeltaQ extractions in parallel on the same RFC destination.

I'm Candace and I'm a destination wedding & portrait photographer based out of the Washington, D.C. area. Chances are you won't find me in the DMV for too long. Come and explore my corner of the world with me!
Ive been home for less than 24 hours and I have been DYING to finally share a little glimpse into this stunning Costa Rican Beach wedding! Francisco and Alexus threw a beaut of a wedding in Punta Uva, Costa Rica – which may be one of my new favorite beaches ever. The entire east coast of Costa Rica is just a totally different vibe from the west coast and Im still so thankful for being able to experience it.
Alexus + Francisco said they wanted to have a really laid back low key kind of wedding and they did just that. They had a fit look in the jungle barefoot and exchanged their own personal vows to each other and I was the only one to get to witness those moments and they will forever be a favorite of mine! Then they chose a stunning sliver of beach and had such a beautiful wedding. The food was delicious and the music was bumpin'!
Throughout their wedding they had touches of the tropical jungles that surrounded us. From the ceremony decor, to their florals on the tables and in the girls hands. I was in plant heaven! I could totally get used to smaller weddings too. It was nice getting to relax a bit and interact with the guests more. To top things off for the night, the girls and Francisco all darted into the ocean! We were all nasty and sweaty from the days heat so they took advantage of the ocean being right there. Probably my favorite send off yet. ;P

The much anticipated 2017 DREAM Innovation Grant (DIG) recipients were announced at Duke Anesthesiology's 28th Annual ASA Alumni Event at the ROOF on theWit in Chicago on Saturday, October 22.
Congratulations to the 2017 DIG winners:
Kamrouz Ghadimi, MD
"Role of Sirtuins in Platelet Aging and Perioperative Thrombocytopenia after Mechanical Circulatory Support"
DIGs support innovative high-risk and potentially high-reward investigations to accelerate anesthesia and pain management research. Each year, Duke Anesthesiology junior and senior faculty members compete for a DIG by submitting their most innovative research ideas to the DIG Application Review Committee. Dr. David Warner announces the DIG recipients at the department's annual ASA alumni event.
Each DIG recipient can receive up to $25,500 in seed money which supports their pilot study for one year and ultimately helps them apply for and obtain extramural funding. These grants are funded through a combination of: private donors, private companies, alumni, faculty and executive board members. To date, $542,900 in DIG donations have led to nearly $8 million in extramural funding.
The DIG is part of the Duke DREAM Campaign which launched in 2007 to support Duke Anesthesiology's research programs and initiatives. These grants create an avenue for healthy competition among faculty, inspire ingenuity, promote the careers of young physician investigators, enhance donor communication, and further the department's academic mission. DIGs help to bridge the gap between training and progression to independent investigator status. Click here to view all of Duke Anesthesiology's DIG recipients and their projects.

We have a new option when choosing Electric Taxi, the Leaf of 40 kWh has been approved in Madrid and Barcelona. If you are a taxi professional you can enjoy this new model that offers 350 km of autonomy with just one load.
This increase in power from 24 to 40 kWh increases the performance of vehicles in energy efficiency.
"Kilowatt hour (kWh) is the unit that expresses the relationship between energy and time. This is the one used to measure energy consumption in kilowatts per hour. "
Thanks to Nisssan, the Leaf is a model that is gradually getting into the sector with great success thanks to its reliability and consumption. Also the E-NV200 van now has a new version that provides a 60% greater autonomy this improvement is achieved thanks to a larger battery.
Little by little we are seeing how all models for taxi are already replaced by electric models. The reason is an obvious saving in the fuel, greater comfort for customers and drivers thanks to the absence of noise and especially because from January 1 this year, taxi drivers can only purchase vehicles that Sen ecological or zero emission.
Until now, only the eurotaxis are exempt and gradually we will go as all models are renewed to promote pollution and impact on the environment.
If the renewal of your taxi is approaching, it is time to consider an electric or zero-emission alternative.

Petite Lilies
Petite Lilies ©
Reflecting the beauty found on ponds and lakes surrounding the countryside.
Breathtaking in its simplicity.
Quite a few times a year, I travel up to the north country where lakes abound. At least once during each visit I meander through the lily pads and lotus flowers, quietly canoeing through the ripples, embracing what nature shares with us every day!
This dainty one of a kind keepsake has three lily pads and a lotus flower on the lid while the roots of the lily pads swirl around to make the base.
• Free shipping – includes handling, packaging, insurance, and ground shipment fees.
• About the process:
Each piece is a one-of-a-kind wheel-thrown clay creation. After being shaped on the potter's wheel, the piece is allowed to semi-dry to what is called the leather-hard stage.
Once it reaches this "half dry" state the piece is able to be shaped, carved and textured. Once completely dry – or 'bone dry' it is placed in an electric kiln for a 'bisque firing' which takes many, many hours reaching a temp of approximately 1800 degrees. After the piece has completed this bisque process, it is cooled, stained with oxides or stains, burnished if necessary, and glazed. The final process of high firing at a temp of approximately 2200 degrees transforms the piece from a 'bisque' to a 'stoneware'. It is now more durable, able to hold water, and is food safe if 'glazed' on the interior for food use.
Because each vessel is an original and is impossible to duplicated, we take great care in packaging each piece for shipment.
Each piece is either wrapped with expandable foam or is carefully placed among air bags and peanuts – whichever is most appropriate for the size and structure.
For your piece of mind, we insure every piece we ship.

Can we save endangered animals? We don't often get the chance to hear of success stories, but there is hope.
~ Credit: Center for Biological Diversity
Aleutian Canada goose. Once nearly driven extinct by foxes introduced to their nesting islands in Alaska and by habitat destruction and hunting in California and Oregon, Aleutian Canada geese are today a clear success story. After a small population was found on a remote Alaskan island in the Aleutian chain, the goose was listed as an endangered species in 1967. Nonnative fox populations were controlled, nesting habitat was protected with the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge's creation in 1980, and wintering and migration habitat was protected in California and Oregon. The Aleutian Canada goose population grew from 790 birds in 1975 to more than 60,000 in 2005. It was downlisted to "threatened" in 1990, declared recovered and removed from the endangered list in 2001, seven years earlier than projected by its recovery plan.
Black-footed ferret. This 2-foot-long, black-masked member of the weasel family once occurred in central grasslands and basins from southern Canada to Texas but is now one of the most endangered mammals in North America. In the early 1900s, the United States was likely home to more than 5 million ferrets. But ferrets, which hunt prairie dogs for food and live in their burrows, were almost wiped out early in the 20th century after agricultural development and rodent poisons devastated prairie dog populations. Thirteen years after they were listed as endangered in 1967, the last captive ferret died, and the animals were thought to be extinct in North America. Then in 1981 a small relic population was discovered in a Wyoming prairie dog colony. Between 1991 and 1999, about 1,200 ferrets from that population were released in Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Arizona and along the Utah/Colorado border. At least two of those reintroduced populations are established and no longer require releases of captive-raised ferrets.
Whooping crane. The whooping crane is one of North America's most majestic birds and also one of the most famous comeback stories. By 1941, the population had plummeted from as many as 20,000 to less than two dozen individuals in the wild. in 2017, thanks to conservation efforts, breeding and reintroduction, 98 whooping crane nests were observed in Wood Buffalo National Park, Alberta, and it is estimated that the wild population is roughly 600 birds, higher than it has been in decade.

Ngatuaine Vaipo, a six-year-old gorgeous, energetic, little boy who lives with his nana Jessie and pa Noomara in Otara. Young Ngatuaine, affectionately known as NJ has called Otara home from the young age of one and a half years.
Born with Microcephalys and Retinal Dystrophy NJ has come with challenges that are unique to his condition.
Nurtured by the tender hands of nana and groomed by a loving grandpa NJ's progress has been tremendous. He has come from the tiny baby who needed to be tube fed to the confident, energetic, beautiful, little boy he is today. He is mostly independent and has recently started walking (and running).
Nana Jessie and Papa Noomara were beaming with pride when they discussed young NJ's progress to the active, bubbly child he is today. A far cry from the tube fed baby he was born, and with the additional complication of having a stroke at the young age of two.
Having graduated from kindergarten, NJ attended normal school for a short stint. He found it difficult to keep up and was quite often isolated because he could not communicate the same way as the other kids.
NJ now attends BLENNZ Homai Campus School. Since attending BLENNZ NJ has thrived. He has made friends and enjoys the school curriculum. Some of the perks at BLENNZ include horse riding, swimming, and most importantly, enjoying the company of good friends.
Homai has been amazing with helping Ngatuaine gain more independenceJessie
Though few and far between, Jessie and Noomara enjoy a few guilty pleasures in their free time. Jessie enjoys time to herself while Noomara enjoys growing taro and mowing the lawn, or having a good old korero with the friendly neighbours.
having a Support Worker helps us with free time. NJ used to go to respite but it's too far awayJessie
The family first heard of Pacific Homecare by recommendation from Taikura and have been with us since 2015.
We are happy, as long as they do their jobJessie & Noomara

Thank Goodness for Big Sunglasses
Thank goodness for big sunglasses.
Tonight, my oldest son is attending his first event as a high schooler; he is working out with the soccer team. How did we land here so quickly?! I swear I was just watching him go off to kindergarten.
He doesn't know more than a handful of people here. He hasn't yet met the coaches. But, that didn't stop him from marching out and joining in without looking back at me.
I'm in awe of his courage. I'm proud of his determination. I'm completely teary-eyed because he makes it look so easy. If Down syndrome has taught me anything, it's that nothing comes easy…but it's all completely worth it.
Thank goodness for big sunglasses.

Oxfam, the international confederation of NGO's and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) have published a joint report saying that shipping should pay a 'carbon tax' to offset the estimated 3% of global emissions it generates. The funds thus collected could go to the UN's Green Climate Fund (GCF), they say, pointing out that this would be easier to do than to wait for governments to budget direct contributions to the GCF. "The most promising option in the near term is to raise finance from international shipping," they said.
The move by the NGOs is seen as a response to fallout of last years Cancun summit, where countries agreed to $100 billion dollars funding for the GCF without any agreement on how the money would be forthcoming. The NGOs now say that France, Germany and Mexico support the carbon tax and "many players in the shipping industry are calling for a carbon price to be set".
The two widely respected organisations claim that a "carbon price" of $25 per tonne would increase bunker costs by around 10% and cost the shipping industry approximately $25bn a year, equivalent to around 0.2% of the total value of global trade. "This is likely to have a marginal impact on global patterns of trade, not least when seen in the context of much larger changes in bunker fuel prices and freight rates over the past two decades," the report adds.
The report agrees that the IMO's EEDI- the Emergency Efficiency Design Index- is a useful "first step," but Oxfam and the WWF nonetheless want their tax recommendations to be put on the agenda in Durban at the end of this year when the 17th UN Framework Convention on Climate Change meets. They say that a carbon tax "would drive significant maritime emissions cuts."
"Setting a carbon price for ships – even one starting at a moderate level – sends the clearest signal to shipowners and operators that they must internalise their carbon costs in both the designs and operations of their ships," the report says.

2014 Nominee & Induction Ceremony
2014 Inductee
Darryl Rudyard (Rud) Henderson
Darryl Rudyard Henderson, or "Rud" as he is most commonly known, was an accomplished archer, a devoted coach, and a tireless promoter of good stewardship in hunting and sports.
Rud began his pursuit of personal excellence in the sport of Archery in 1976 and achieved great success before ending his competitive career in 1986. In only 10 short years, he amassed 35 medals, set 12 Canadian records, and was regularly named the top Heavy-Tackle archer in provincial and Canadian competitions. One of the greatest personal achievements an archer can obtain is the rare and elusive "Robin Hood" in which the archer shoots an arrow into the centre of the target, and a second arrow is shot into the end of the first. As a testament to his incredible talent, Rud skillfully achieved 12 Robin Hoods in his 10-year Archery career.
While there is no question Rud enjoyed a natural talent for the sport, he attributes much of his success to hard work and rigorous training. When qualifying for the Western Canada Summer Games, and garnering a place on the Alberta Team in the Canadian Archery Championships, Rud was known to practice three hours per day on weekdays and seven hours on weekends.
After seven-and-a-half years as a specialist in the Heavy-Tackle with Sights category, Rud switched to Freestyle competition with the hopes of qualifying for the 1984 Olympics. After months of grueling training and mental preparation, Rud narrowly missed qualifying at the Calgary trials, but he was thankful for the opportunity to grow in a different specialty in the sport he knew and loved.
Locally, Rud was very active in the RedHat Archers Club. As a talented handyman, he is recognized for almost single-handedly building a field course for the Club. He used his extensive electrical skills to build and maintain a timing system to host competitions. He was counted on to organize tournaments at the local Club and was the first to volunteer at other regional events like the Southern Alberta Summer Games, and more. During his term as President of the RedHat Archers, he was a great leader, encouraging archers of all ages to pursue the ancient art of archery in the modern era.
Rud was a fervent supporter of archery clinics for young people and spent considerable time coaching them in this context. He obtained his Level Three coaching certificate which qualified him to coach all the way up to the Olympic level. In 1977, he coached 13-year-old Keith Johnson and a team of eight other youngsters from Alberta who competed at the Summer Games in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Most notably, Rud will be remembered in Medicine Hat for his commitment to the stewardship of the sport. He has contributed articles to the Bow Bender magazine about sportsmanship in both the sport of hunting, as well as competition. And he practiced what he preached; as fellow archer Jack Woodward recalls, "Rud never sacrificed camaraderie and sportsmanship for the sake of winning."
During his archery career, Rud worked in Medicine Hat as an electrician and focused on family life with his wife and two daughters. He left Medicine Hat in 1992 to obtain his Industrial Instrumentation Technology diploma at S.A.I.T., graduating with honours. He remarried in 1994 to his current wife Doreen and together they travelled to Newfoundland, San Diego, Texas, Oklahoma, and Mexico for Darryl's various job placements commissioning systems and completing live control system swing-overs for industrial and oil and gas clients.
Rud currently resides in the Red Deer area, working for Cenovus Energy at Christina Lake, and is looking forward to returning to archery in a recreational capacity.
Darryl Rudyard Henderson will be forever revered on Medicine Hat's Sports Wall of Fame as Medicine Hat's own "Golden Archer."

I learned about www.playlist.com this week by going to some of my friends blogs. I love it so I made me own. I hope you enjoy the one I added to the site. I also heard about www.slacker.com by my friend. I guess it is another one. Music during this process has really helped soothe my soul. It has brought me down as well though.
We in our misery play those sad songs that make us cry about our past. Past relationships, past hurts, past issues or the troubles that are currently going on and the pain associated with it or where we think it might be headed and the pain it even MIGHT inflict.
Music can be healing but it also can be hurting.
So for the ones reading this those going through SR with me and those not, let me share something with you that perhaps you will continually hear that has kept me at balance. Melody has shared with and keeps saying "Go where the peace is". So please remember that is you are listening to those songs only to bring yourself back to the pain, it is NOT where the peace is. If you are listening to those songs just to inflict hurt on yourself because you think THAT is what you deserve you are wrong, you deserve happiness and that again is NOT where the peace is.
So to reiterate again what Melody said "Go where the Peace is"..That is what I hoped to do with my new play list I put on the site. Put my mind at peace with the music and bring Peace to you who are here listening.
If you don't like music that plays while you are reading just hit the stop button.

It's Tuesday. At Vive La Crepe in New York City, the weekend crowd has faded away, and traffic is light. "Traditionally, there's a 45 to 50 percent drop in business in the restaurant on Tuesdays," says Marco Shalma, director of operations for the restaurant's parent, MYT Partners. To get customers in the door, Vive La Crepe harnessed its app—that pipeline to customers' pockets—and began pushing promotions out to its 14,000 users via mobile. On Tuesdays, the sell is $5 chocolate-hazelnut crepes. A coupon pops up in the app for that day only. The key was pushing an already-hot item. "Within six months, Tuesday turned out to be our strongest weekday. Even though the crepe was discounted, our overall sales increased 130 percent due to more volume of sales and sales of complementary items," says Shalma.
The slow times echo a familiar story for many restaurants. But the solutions don't lie only in discounting, and they needn't be high-tech. Iron Cactus Mexican Grill and Margarita Bar, with five locations in Texas, uses social media and email to attract diners during midafternoon and late evening lulls. But one of its most successful efforts involves handshakes. "We're taking more of a grassroots approach and going around meeting people in our vicinity. We ask our general managers to go shake hands, and let people know who we are and personally invite them in," says Steve Clemens, director of operations.
Iron Cactus' managers focus on other service professionals, such as store employees, boat captains and hotel staff near its San Antonio River Walk location. "It has a direct impact on our off-peak times," says Clemens, who estimates a sales bump of about 10 percent as a result. "This is because most people that work in the hospitality industry are also working during the busiest times, but they are finishing their shifts and looking for a place to have a bite and a drink."
In New Orleans, off-nights extend for weeks in late summer when tourism is at a crawl and locals leave town to escape the hot weather. Courting concierges is an old tactic, but Ti Martin, co-proprietor of the Commander's Family of Restaurants, has taken it further at her restaurant SoBou. Martin partners with the W French Quarter hotel next door to host free movies on Sunday nights in the hotel's courtyard while offering special dinner packages and cocktails. She's pleased with how popular the events are; customers are calling ahead to make reservations and filling up the courtyard. "On those nights, we're having a 25 percent uptick in business," she says.

Fried Tofu and Chicken
Last weekend we went to a coffee shop at Alexandra for dinner. We ordered a few different dishes and here are some of my favourite. The picture above is of a Tofu basket which was filled with nuts, prawns and other vegetables. Traditionally it was made of yam and deep fried. This tofu version tastes much better and I don't feel so "stuffed" after eating.
Deep fried chicken ( Buffalo wings) was really very tasty. I love the crispy exterior and the tender juicy flesh inside. I'm not sure what they use to season it but it is something which I hope to be able to replicate using the air fryer at home.
What have you been eating this week?
