TWO points dropped rather than one gained was Nuneaton boss Kevin Wilkin's summary of Saturday's deadlock at the Kingsmarsh Stadium that left Town trailing leaders Leamington by ten points.
However, the stalemate did enable Boro to hoist themselves into second place and above Atherstone, whose home encounter with Marlow was call off due to a waterlogged Sheepy Road pitch.
The draw ended Boro's seven- match winning BGB Southern Midland Division run but Wilkin insisted: "We had enough of the play and chances to have won comfortably.
"Darren Acton hardly had a save to make while I felt their goal came from a dreadful refereeing decision.
"Danny Pitham won the header cleanly and their player has barged into him. Why the officials never saw that I don't know? It was obvious to everyone else. I just knew they would score from the free-kick and that one decision cost us.
"I felt we deserved to win and should have done so but they've had luck on their side. We dominated for long periods without making the most of several clear-cut opportunities.
"Some of our football, on a sticky playing surface, was excellent."
There was plenty of early promise for Boro, with Rob Oddy blazing an angled drive across the face of the net before Justin Marsden fired the visitors in front on 10 minutes.
A neat build-up saw Mark Noon funnel a fine pass into Paul Spacey down the inside-right channel and though Rob Foster completely missed the ensuing cross, the ball eventually fell to Marsden, whose fierce 15-yard skidder gave home keeper Darren Gould no chance.
A minute later neat footwork by Foster took him past two opponents inside the area and it needed a splendid low block by Gould to foil the eager Nuneaton striker.
But Sudbury restored parity on 29 minutes from a splendid free-kick although it was extremely harsh on Danny Pitham, whose determined headed challenge on Kevin Hawes fell foul of whistle-happy referee Sean Feerick.
From the 20-yard set-piece Gareth Heath crashed a rising drive past the defensive wall and into the roof of the net.
Boro battled hard after the setback and right on the interval were unlucky not to regain the advantage as Marsden's left-wing cross ricochetted off Nathan Speed and struck the post with nobody on hand to force home the loose ball.
Seconds after the break, Hawes saw a turning volley from the edge of the area clutched at the base of the post by Acton, while at the opposite end Spacey's skidding centre just evaded the outstretched boot of Oddy with the net begging.
The latter then released Foster down the middle but Boro's frontman hoisted his shot high over the bar with just Gould to beat, and soon after the striker did superbly to beat two opponents only to see Noon deflect his low cross straight into the arms of the keeper.
Sudbury had penalty claims turned down when Richard Howell's low centre hit Pitham on the boot, bounced up and struck his hand.
But Boro substitute David Blenkinsopp was robbed of the winner five minutes from time when his tenacity took him past two defenders only to see his cross-shot hit the inside of the far post and run across the line before it was hooked clear by Ollie Blackwell.
In the closing seconds Lewis Dodd's 25-yarder flew straight at Gould as time ran out on Boro and their long victorious run.

Please Leave Me Out Of It.
A new blog has taken an old quote from my blog out of context and used it as part of an attack against another blogger. While I appreciate my blog being read and appreciate being considered a source worthy of being cited, I have no issue with either of the bloggers.
If two bloggers have an issue with one another, that is their business. Please keep me out of it. I have more than enough drama in my life.
5 comments:
I beg to differ. The quote from your blog was clearly labeled as pertaining to a different matter:
Albeit about a different whopper, Rich Cahill's description of Blaber's blogging is fitting:
"This is without question the most vicious, idiotic, foolish, nonsensical, moronic, unfair, juvenile, and hateful attack piece I have ever seen. I have followed national, state, county, and city politics for many years. I have seen some real nasty stuff thrown out there by irresponsible candidates. This, however, takes the cake."

I do not deny writing that quote. It had to do with a bogus allegation being made against Nina Postupack.
I just have no desire to be involved in a feud between two other parties. My request is to be kept out of it.
- June 13, 2012 at 4:05 PM
Dogar is well known for nastiness and using his political websites to attack people he dislikes rather than acting in a constructive manner. Asking him to leave you out of it once he has decided to drag you in is like asking to have the moon delivered by the Domino's pizza guy.
Dogar and his wife are nothing but big babies running around calling people doodyheads because they dropped their lollipops in the dirt. People who are so totally immature shouldn't even be in politics.

I see now that I am being insulted by the web page in question because I claimed my quote was taken out of context and that I did not want to be involved in the feud.
Allow me to clarify. The quote was originally about an "issue" raise by Blaber against Nina Postupack. I wrote the quote and stand by it.
The quote is being used to attack Jeremy Blaber and his skills as a blogger. It is a different context, though not necessarily an improper use of the quote.
My only point is that I do not want to be dragged in to a feud that I have nothing to do with. For that, now I am being blasted.
Well, I am a big boy. If people want to take their shots, go ahead. I asked nicely to be left out of it. But, if I am to be dragged in despite my wishes to the contrary, so be it.

Just let it go. Those Rochester nuts will never stop. They are crazy, vicious, and obsessive.
You should ignore them completely. You have nothing to gain by even speaking of them. Just look at the stupid crap they write.
They compared Terry Bernardo to a Romanian dictator who summarily executed people. Terry is not the best Chair of the Legislature. She is not a murderer like the Romanian dictator. To say that is just plain nuts.
See what I mean? They are nuts. Just ignore them.

The situation in Europe is very similar to the situation in North America. Cases of espionage happen on both sides of the Atlantic, as I will show in section 5.4.
In Britain, for example, there was no legislation before 1994 that prohibited private surveillance and industrial/economic espionage. Under former law, penalties only applied to the theft of government military secrets. After several serious incidents, a new legislation was proposed that would make it an offense to gain information through deception.
France is one of those countries that is said to have a very active intelligence service for economic espionage. The report [6], which was written July 1994, tells about an embarrassing release of information about those activities targeted against American companies. It turned out that the companies responsible for leaking the information were unhappy with the French intelligence service (DGSE). They argued that the DGSE favored some companies in distributing material gained by economic espionage.
The situation in Russia is quite similar. A report ([14]) from 1996 states that Russian President Yeltsin had "ordered top Russian officials to close the technology gap with the West and told them to make better use of industrial intelligence to do so".

Two goals from Milan Hejduk help lift Avalanche past Stars 5-4NHL.com @NHLdotcom
DALLAS - Milan Hejduk scored two goals and the Colorado Avalanche held on for a 5-4 victory over the Dallas Stars on Saturday.
Darcy Tucker, John-Michael Liles and Tyler Arnason also scored for the Avalanche (2-3-0) in their first road win of the season.
Joe Sakic and Wojtek Wolski had two assists each for Colorado.
Fabian Brunnstrom, James Neal, Loui Eriksson and Brad Richards had goals for the sluggish Stars (1-3-1). Dallas also had a late goal overturned.
Colorado took a 5-2 lead into the third period, but Dallas got close when Eriksson scored from the slot with 18 minutes left and Richards scored 4:47 later.
The Stars thought they'd pulled even at 5-5 with 7:31 left on Brenden Morrow's power-play deflection off Richards' centring pass.
But after a video review, officials ruled that the puck went in off Morrow's glove and the goal was disallowed.

Once a month The Magic Mushrooms Shop brings you a brief ''News Digest'' of what we feel are some of the most interesting articles related to psychedelics and anything else we find ''trippy''. Here are our 4 selections for August, all have to do with the exciting subject of Psychedelic Rennaissance.
This week:
- Acid On Me Like the Rain: Mapping Psychedelia's Big Pop Culture Moment
- How to Change your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics by Michael Pollan - review
- Researchers investigate psychedelic mushrooms for cocaine addiction
- The Science of the Psychedelic Rennaissance.
Let's get started!
Acid On Me Like the Rain: Mapping Psychedelia's Big Pop Culture Moment
In this Noisey/Vice article, Ryan Bassil suggests that hallucinogens and the psychedelic culture are coming back into mainstream culture in force, and with reason.
The proof? Look at some of Frank Ocean, Kacey Musgraves and Kanye's music
This is no surprise to us as we can well see that every month there seems to be some kind of research pointing towards the benefits of these substances, more people are talking about it and pressure is mounting to allow scientist to research these substances with more freedom.
On example he gives is the release of Blonde in 2016 or Kanye West's ye, Musgraves' Golden Hour or Jon Hopkin's Singularity, the op-art visualisers for Beach House's new album, or two books –Trip, the first non-fiction work from the once amphetamine-addled Tao Lin; and How to Change Your Mind, by the nature and culture journalist Michael Pollan.
There is a difference though in the way this generation approaches psychedelics when compared to those in the past, One of the difference is the importance it could have for mental health, it's a way to look inwards, to self-examine as well as to escape.
Great read if you are interested in the renaissance of psychedelics

How to Change your Mind: The New Science of Psychedelics by Michael Pollan - review
Have you heard of Michael Pollan's latest book How to Change your Mind? If you are into psychedelics and their renaissance or come-back into our mainstream culture, you should get a hold of this book ASAP!
In this article, Oliver Burkeman of the Guardian makes a great job of presenting this very important book.
He stresses that one of the book's important messages is that the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics, for the dying or seriously ill, can't be separated from the mystical experiences to which they give rise.
One argument he also brings out is that the book points out clearly that LSD and psilocybin were banned because of the threat they posed to the established social order.
We got this book and we are presently reading through it's pages, we strongly recommend it.
Read the original story here
Psilocybin has already shown promise in treating alcoholism and cigarette addiction, but how about cocaine addiction?
This is what a group of researchers at the University of Alabama, Birmingham are going to evaluate and they are currently looking for participants.
They want to test whether psilocybin, used in an appropriate medical setting would help treat cocaine use disorder.
Their idea is that six hours of being under the effects of psilocybin may be as productive as 10 years of traditional therapy,
UAB is one of six universities in the world currently investigating the medicinal benefits of psilocybin. The other five are Johns Hopkins University, Imperial College London, New York University, University of California-San Francisco and Yale.
more details on the original story here
The Science of the Psychedelic Renaissance. On trip reports from Timothy Leary, Michael Pollan and Tao Lin.
Continuing with the very interesting subject of Psychedelic Rennaissance, The New Yorker through Emily Witt brings us a short text about the contributions (and negative effects) of Timothy Leary and how Terrence Mckenna, Tao Lin, and Michael Pollan have and are slowly changing that.
Of course, the argument also points out that one of the most effective fronts of this renaissance has been scientific research.

Blizzard is reportedly making radical changes to Starcraft 2 World Championship Series. According to a new report, Blizzard has got in touch with some organizations under Korean eSports Association (KeSPA) and organisations with South Korean players and asked them to be ready for major changes in the next season.
WCS is going to be divided into two, WCS Global and WSC Circuit.
South Korean Global StarCraft League (GSL) and StarCraft 2 StarLeague (SSL) will come under WCS Global. Meanwhile, WCS Circuit will handle events organized by Red Bull, Intel Extreme Masters, and DreamHack. North Korean players are going to be allowed to compete in WCS Circuit, but only if they have a work or P1 athletic visa for North America and Europe.
If any of them have a tourist visa, they will not be allowed to compete in such events. Moreover, top eight players from WCS Global and the top eight from the WCS circuit would form the final 16 who'll compete in the WCS Finals.
Sources also mentioned TakeTV, the HomeStory Cup, competitions were originally planned to be part of the WCS Circuit component as well. However, Dennis "TaKe" Gehlen rejected the idea saying that South Korean players would be excluded from his event if he is a part of the circuit.
Blizzard confirmed these changes but news should arrive soon. We'll let you as soon Blizzard decided to comment on the story.
For the time being, take this with a grain of salt of the side, but feel free to let us know what you think to such changes in the discussion box below.

Leicester Ladies Hockey Club has recently been confirmed as hosts of the 2014 Women's European Club Trophy, which will be held at the club's Leicester Grammar School home ground at the beginning of June.
Leicester Hockey Club, one of the oldest and most successful women's hockey clubs in England, has been nominated for the freedom of the city of Leicester by deputy city mayor Cllr Rory Palmer.
Soar Media would like to congratulate everybody at Leicester Hockey Club for finishing top of the Investec Premier League after a convincing 4-1 victory over Slough in front of a bumper home crowd at Leicester Grammar School on Saturday.

Whenever you use a credit card, you are taking on a large degree of personal responsibility. All debts need to be paid eventually, so you should take care when using your credit cards.
Here are some tips for what you can do to ensure a good experience as a credit card user.
- Use Balance Alerts to Keep Tabs on your Account
It's very easy to forget about numbers that aren't frequently in front of your face. Credit card balances are one piece of information that you want to manage carefully. By signing up for email or SMS balance alerts or notifications, you can be reminded when you use a credit card or approach limits.
- Check Your Credit Score
If you use a credit card, you will have a credit score of some kind which will affect what lines of credit are available to you and at what rates. This is something that banks will be particularly interested in before they lend you hundreds of thousands of dollars for a home mortgage.
If you check your credit score then you know if making another purchase is acceptable or if you need to work on making payments to rebuild or continue to build your credit.
- Get a Credit Card that also works as Debit
It's best to maintain a low balance on your credit cards and one way to do that is to minimize usage. If you can find a credit card that also allows you to use debit with your bank account, then you can pay for many purchases with the money in your checking account. There still might be times when you need something now and the credit line is there for that, but having a debit card helps keep it in check.
- Read the Fine Print
If a card says that there is 0% APR for the first year with no annual fee, then you've got to wonder how the company behind the card is making money. Credit cards basically work as micro loans on-demand, so the profit needs to come from somewhere. What happens after the promotional period ends? Are there any hidden fees?
What does the interest rate jump up to down the road? By reading the fine print, you can be clear about these parts of the agreement before you sign up. This is also good for choosing the best card out there for you.
- Always Make Your Payments on Time
This tip could apply to any debts you have any person or company. Just like you don't want to be late to work, you don't want to be late on missing your payments. This makes you look untrustworthy and it will reflect on your credit reports.
Furthermore, many credit card companies will start considering you high risk and boost your interest rate up if you start missing payments. By making payments all the time, you earn a good credit score and reap the benefits of being a reliable credit card user.

BOYNE CITY - Deed restrictions that go back more than 50 years could create a roadblock for a proposed bike trail along Boyne City-Charlevoix Road.
At the Charlevoix County Road Commission's regular semi-monthly meeting Monday, commission manager Pat Harmon told the board he was recently contacted by two Bay Township residents who say deed restrictions recorded at the time the road commission obtained the right-of-way for the present location of Boyne City-Charlevoix Road may prohibit the bike trail proposed to be constructed along the road.
Harmon said Bay Township residents Bob Taylor and Roger Conaway came to him saying they did some research which showed deed restrictions on at least six parcels of property which abut the road which say the right-of-way may be used by the road commission for "highway purposes" only.
Harmon said in the early 1950s the road commission purchased rights-of-way to re-align much of the road and the restrictions were recorded as part of those property transactions. Harmon said he did not yet know how many of the other properties along the road might carry similar restriction language.

Clocking in at fifteen minutes, Mark Logan's Rats doesn't feel its length – its tale of a literary historian (Nicholas Vince, Hellraiser, Mindless, Remnant) and his ill-advised visit to Montague Castle stays engaging in its slow-burning first half, and manages an all-important gear-shift as it races towards its end.
Much of the film's early heavy lifting is done by Vince and his amusing and knowingly clunky exchange with castle caretaker Charlie (Egomaniac and Human Centipede franchise alum Laurence Harvey). Both bring some gravitas and a good command of tone to the table, and the blackly funny element doesn't ever do too much to dispel the growing unease that lurks just beneath the surface – or in this case, behind the wall. Indeed, the film's biggest laugh comes when Bill, in an attempt to neutralise the unsettling presence of a waxwork of a maid by his bedside, takes a selfie with it as he awaits the arrival of new love Jess (Beneath a Neon Tide's Jessica Messenger).
Moments later, his attempt to locate the bathroom results in his first encounter with the root cause of the strange scratching sound he hears behind the wall. It's a satisfying moment, and another feather in the cap of practical effects wizard Paul While. The exchange that follows between Bill and Charlie is frantically funny, and it's only in the film's final scene where the tension-to-humour balance feels a little askew. Its old-fashioned approach to its scares and its deeply-rooted eccentricity might not appeal to everyone, but Rats is an accomplished, unusual short that's well worth your time.

I can't say it was a fun experience, and the loss of power for several days was quite an experience. But one of the good things about it was that I had a lot of time to sit in the sunshine and read.
I think in the week since the storm hit, I was able to read 5 books. It was awesome.
One of the books that I read was the final book to The 5th Wave series. I admit that I was not happy with how the book ended and am ready to nip this new author trend in the bud (or somewhere else....) but the book was full of lots of "profound" and awesome quotes.
I decided not to do a review on the book since I wasn't happy with the ending and am trying to understand this new trend. (Yes, I'm trying not to spoil it for you if you haven't read it.) I do think if you have read the series up until the last book that you need to read it to see what happens to the gang (it's not anything I would have seen coming), and also to enjoy some of the great quotes of wisdom.
Like the bacon quote? "Not all is lost if bacon isn't."
How true is that?

The world of Halo has been exclusive to Microsoft platforms for as long as anyone can remember, but things are about to change. You will no longer require an Xbox 360, Xbox One or PC (or mobile phones) to experience the world of Halo.
The popular franchise is being turned into a monopoly!
Halo Monopoly Edition is coming our way this November, according to a listing on EB Games.
This holiday season Halo is all about some quality time with your family and friends. Best part is, you don't need a $350 console to play it.
The Monopoly Edition of this popular franchise is being sold for $68 in Australia, which translates into around $49 in the United States. At the time of this writing similar listing aren't available in North America, but we'll let you know as soon as Halo Monopoly becomes available in other regions.
However if you prefer killing aliens instead of playing Monopoly, you will need an Xbox One and a copy of Halo 5 Guardians.
Guardians will release exclusively on Xbox One on October 27 and according to 343, the game will not support split-screen multiplayer. 343 wanted to create the most ambitious Halo game to date, which could not have been possible with split screen multiplayer.

Baby showers in England?
I mean, I'm english. I live in England. Baby showers are something I've only heard of from our friends across the Atlantic. One of those things one witnesses on American soap operas. Surely they don't happen in little old England?
Apparently they do.
So what is a baby shower? The picture the phrase conjures up in my mind resembles something like the image right... undoubtedly cute, and definitely inaccurate. As I've said, I've never been to one and, call me cynical, but I never really intend on going to one. There, I've said it. So now one of my closest local friends will end up getting pregnant and throwing one which I have no choice but to attend... but until that day, I'm keeping my distance.
In my opinion (and I apologise if my opinion, lowly as it is, offends anyone) but surely a baby shower is just an excuse to invite people to buy you and your baby presents in the same way an engagement party forces friends who would normally merely congratulate you and share in your happiness to actually fork out for a present, perhaps against their will. I don't believe in that kind of materialism. If I did have a close friend who's having a baby I'd buy her something as and when I wanted to, not because the reason and timing is dictated to me by a 'shower' (ridiculous name!).
Anyway, I'm (half) interested. What's the point? What are they for? Why should I ever go to one?
Rant over.

I'm actually going to a baby shower this Sunday. Where some families go all out, mine just gets together to celebrate with the women in our family. I crocheted a pink and white baby blanket for her, because I agree that it's not right to expect large gifts from your family just b/c you're preggo.

I was actually going to write a similar blog post about baby showers for my blog.
I'm with you. Just back in England after 10 years in Canada where the baby showers are as rife as in the US. They did come with an expectation of gift giving and often an air of 'who spent what' as the group would sit in a circle and open gifts. I just don't like that sort of thing. Same with kids birthday parties - I don't like the N. American tradition of sitting in a circle taking it in turns to give a gift to the birthday boy/girl. I'd rather presents were opened in private with less attention to price tags.
Like you I'd rather buy presents for people because I want to, not because it's an expectation.

My friends and I all do baby showers for each other. But it's not about gifts, it's just a lovely opportunity to get together and celebrate the imminent arrival. It's nice to be able to make a fuss of the person who is the size of a house ;)

Case Alert [2016] UKSC 42
The Supreme Court, by a majority of 6-3, has now firmly overruled the rule based approach often used when considering the illegality defence (also known as "ex turpi causa, non oritur actio") and has adopted a more flexible, policy-based approach instead. This is in line with the recommendations by the Law Commission and with the approach adopted in other commonwealth jurisdictions, such as New Zealand, Australia and Canada.
The decision is welcome to the extent that it has clarified the test to be used, hopefully removing some of the confusion which has existed under the previous case law in this area. However, the new test is broadly framed and it remains to be seen how it will be applied to different fact patterns and whether new areas of contention might in fact arise. As a result, and while the Patel decision is of real interest, the law in this area still cannot be regarded as settled. Indeed, it could be some years before we have a good sense of how the new test might apply to any particular case, and the decision is bound to be an engine of uncertainty and dispute in the meantime.
A key issue for accountancy and other professional services firms and their insurers will be whether and how the case will affect the application of the Stone & Rolls v Moore Stephens (2009) decision, where it was held that where a "one-man company" had intentionally committed fraud, the ex turpi causa doctrine prevented it from claiming against its auditors for failing to detect that fraud. That was a case in which the defendant auditors relied on the now rejected rule-based "reliance" approach in Tinsley v Milligan (1994) (see further below) but which involved very different facts and a number of different considerations from Patel. For example, as a case involving two individuals, Patel does not grapple with the difficult questions of the attribution to a corporate entity of the knowledge and dishonesty of its officers which were so central to much of the reasoning in Stone & Rolls and are so frequently in issue in cases involving corporate claimants. What can be said, however, is that while the full implications remain to be worked out by the courts, Stone & Rolls is already regarded as operating within narrow confines, and it seems unlikely that the Patel decision will cause its boundaries to be expanded so as to afford defendants an illegality defence based on Stone & Rolls in a substantially broader range of circumstances.
The courts have had to grapple frequently over the years with the application of the illegality doctrine when dealing with cases where the relationship between the parties is tainted by illegality. The practical question for the courts has always been whether, in the circumstances, to allow the claimant the remedy sought, or refuse it on the basis that the illegality taints the claim to such an extent that relief ought to be denied.
Various overlapping/contrasting approaches have emerged over the years to help determine this question, which have given rise to legal complexity and confusion over which approach is to be followed. The different legal approaches include:
- the "reliance" test, which bars the claim if it must rely on the facts disclosing the illegality (Tinsley v Milligan)
- the "sufficiently close connection" test, which bars claims with a sufficiently close connection with the illegality
- whether the illegality is merely "collateral" to the claim (if it is then the defence fails)
- the "inextricable link" test, barring the claim if an inextricable link exists between the relief claimed and the illegal conduct
- the "causative" test, whereby the defence only succeeds if the illegality has a causative relationship to the loss claimed
- the of disallowing claims where that would be seen to condone illegal conduct.
The doctrine has come under criticism from many corners, including the Law Commission who, whilst acknowledging that the decisions in this area generally achieved a fair result, found that this was as a result of judges creating exceptions to the rules by straining their application. It regarded the illegality defence as presenting serious problems in terms of complexity, uncertainty, arbitrariness and lack of transparency. Further, in the recent case of Jetivia v Bilta (2015), Lord Neuberger pleaded for urgent clarification by the Supreme Court of the correct approach to be followed.
Patel v Mirza
A rule based approach (including the reliance test advocated in Tinsley v Milligan) has now been expressly rejected and the Supreme Court has stipulated that a flexible policy-based approach is to be preferred when considering the merits of the defence, with reference to an important trio of principles, namely:
- a purposive approach
- a general public policy criterion
- a proportionate response
The facts of this case are as follows. The claimant, Mr Patel, and the defendant, Mr Mirza, entered into a conspiracy to commit the offence of insider dealing. Mr Patel transferred sums totalling £620,000 to Mr Mirza for the purpose of betting on the price of RBS shares using advance insider information which Mr Mirza expected to obtain from RBS contacts regarding an anticipated government announcement. Mr Mirza's expectation of an announcement proved to be mistaken and so the intended betting did not take place. However, despite promises to do so, Mr Mirza failed to repay the money given to him by Mr Patel. Mr Patel then brought a claim for the recovery of the sums on various bases, including contract and unjust enrichment. In order to establish his claim to the return of his money, it was necessary for Mr Patel to explain the nature of the agreement and Mr Mirza sought to rely on the defence of illegality, by invoking the so-called "reliance principle" (Tinsley v Milligan) i.e. that the claim could not be brought because it involved reliance on the claimant's own illegality.
Lord Toulson, giving the leading judgment, held that "a person who satisfies the ordinary requirements of a claim in unjust enrichment will not prima facie be debarred from recovering money paid or property transferred by reason of the fact that the consideration which has failed was an unlawful consideration". That said, Lord Toulson accepted that there may be reasons why courts might refuse assistance to a claimant, but stated that "such cases are likely to be rare." Since Mr Patel satisfied the ordinary requirements of a claim for unjust enrichment, Lord Toulson held that he should not be barred from enforcing his claim by reason only of the fact that the money which he sought to recover was paid for an unlawful purpose.
When discussing the illegality defence, Lord Toulson highlighted that the two policy reasons for the illegality defence were: (i) that a person should not be allowed to profit from his own wrongdoing; and (ii) the law should be coherent and not self-defeating, "condoning illegality by giving with the left hand what it takes with the right hand."
The new correct approach for a court, when considering the application of the common law doctrine of illegality, is to have regard to the policy factors involved and to the nature and circumstances of the illegal conduct in determining whether the public interest in preserving the integrity of the justice system should result in denial of the relief claimed.
In order to assess whether the public interest would be harmed in that way, he held it necessary to consider three key factors:
- the underlying purpose of the prohibition which has been transgressed and whether that purpose will be enhanced by denial of the claim;
- any other relevant public policy on which the denial of the claim may have an impact; and
- whether denial of the claim would be a proportionate response to the illegality, bearing in mind that punishment is a matter for the criminal courts.
In reaching these conclusions, Lord Toulson rejected the strongly expressed dissenting view (as expressed by Lords Mance, Sumption and Clarke) that this "open and unsettled range of factors" (per Lord Mance) approach would lead to uncertainty. He replied that the principal criticism of the law was its uncertainty and that he is not aware that this has been a source of problems in jurisdictions where a flexible approach is adopted. In any event, he noted that there are areas in which certainty is important, but the same considerations do not apply in the same way to those contemplating unlawful activity.

A person has no corporate respect when he can either take the Body or leave it. It reveals that he has never experienced a Corporate crucifixion, therefore never being a partaker of Corporate bread or having experienced Corporate faith and love. He only takes to the Body where it complements him.
There is such a danger of this insidious independent concept through an idealistic evaluation of a humanistic corporate body, that lacks the very definition of a specific cross which baptizes a person and hides him in the organism of Jesus Christ's headship. It is clearly defined in truth that we are all baptized by one Spirit, having been made to drink into one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13). Yet, this person or persons will not drink of the same Spirit that others had to drink from on the road of Calvary. Through human praise, they deviate with their own human ability to articulate an interpretation of facts to experience their own idea of the situation, and they live in corporate idealism instead of corporate experience.
Idealistic Christians are never hid. They never lay down their life and never enter into the annihilation of Adam (Romans 4:6). They still play games with moral Christianity, upright and wholesome in all outward appearance, but curtailed by their own interpretation of the Spirit by their own experience of the letter. Though they may be morally equipped to face situations on the basis of their integrity and please the sight of men, it does not please God.

I run two teaching businesses: Get It Scrapped since 2007 and Teach What You Do since late 2015. These aren't hobbies. They are honest-to-goodness, money-earning, expense-generating businesses with fabulous customers who I want to make sure get the very best care.
Here are five key organzational tools or practices that I use almost every day to make sure I get the work of customer care done, the money coming in and the bills paid.
1. Plan today's work the night before.
I LOVE a great planner or project management system. BUT . . . when it comes to getting work done daily, I need to focus on just the tasks for that day before I go off working on things that might be more appealing or interesting.
The best way I've found to do that is to make a list of 3 to 5 tasks I want to accomplish. Really 3 is much more reasonable than 5, but I'm just back from a short vacation, so today will be a long 5-task day.
Thus, my recommendation is for you to find a system that lets you easily see what needs to be done next–and to plan your day's work the night before.
Here's one project board in my Asana account. It's the board that shows me what to do TODAY and gives a glimpse of what's coming. Of course, I've got many other boards for managing projects in a more detailed way. There are hundreds of tasks and even deadlines mapped out. But here's my little corner of daily planning that gets me away from an overwhelming list of due-dates that are NOT TODAY.
Key aspects that make this system work for me are:
1. LOGGING WORK COMPLETED. I log the major pieces of work I accomplish each day. It can be easy to lose track of what we've done and feel frustrated. It can also be easy to be hard at work but not accomplish the tasks that matter. Tracking accomplishments helps me see if I'm getting the important tasks completed–and it leaves a record of my progress so that when I revisit my progress I have a sense of what's working and what isn't. I keep track by month, just adding a summary task each day.
2. ASSIGNING TASKS DAILY. While I have detailed and stepped-out to-do list for several projects, I use this one spot to plan what I intend to accomplish in a day. This works best, when I go in the night before and assign those tasks, moving them over to the TODAY column.
3. KEEPING "ON DECK" TASKS IN VIEW. There are two more columns: one for my business at Get It Scrapped and one for Teach What You Do. I've got things that need to be done "pretty darned soon" in those columns. These are the items that will be moving into the TODAY column. This is also where I can add urgent tasks that I think of. Note, though, that this is not a place for all kinds of little tasks–those go onto a "PILE-UP" board. Each night I can review my other key project boards and see what to move over here.
2. Don't be surprised by recurring expenses
With an online business you'll have expenses that recur regularly–usually monthly, biannually, or annually. I've found a quick way to get a look at the upcoming month or week and seeing what's coming due is to set up each of these recurring payments as a recurring events on my Google calendar–but in their own "calendar" that I can turn on or off. You can see multiple colors on this calendar. The yellow are my expenses, the green my key events, the blue are public Get It Scrapped events, and there are several other calendars.
So I don't keep my expenses calendar turned on all the time! That would make me crazy. But I do turn it on once a week or so to see what's coming at me! This is especially important for the annually recurring amounts that I'm not used to budgeting for. For example here, the annual renewal of domains is coming up at GoDaddy and my Vimeo video hosting annual payment is coming due.
While this doesn't take care of accounting or tally things up, it's a great help to me in making sure I've got my expenses covered!
3. Make it easy to know your list and customer numbers
You've heard it again and again: the money's in the list. That would be your mailing list. While that number doesn't have to be huge, you need to know what that number is and be making efforts to grow it every week.
Check out your email service provider's dashboard or reporting tools for keeping track of subscribers and tagged customers. On my dashboard, I keep track of list totals by business, and I keep track of key product purchase numbers. I often add widgets that are up for a short time to keep track of new or key campaigns.
This is a piece of my Infusionsoft dashboard. I track the number of people on my Get It Scrapped list and on my Teach What You Do list. And right next to those numbers I track the number of customers for my key products.
You know what I especially love about seeing that I have 707 Get It Scrapped members on a list of 20K? That my customers make up 3% of my audience–a number digital marketers will tell you is expected.
The same thing goes for the 163 eCourse Blueprint students from a list of 4.5k: that's 3% also. Of course, I'd love higher conversion rates, and I am working on that. BUT, this also tells me that if I grow my list, I can grow my sales.
4. Organize Your Marketing Efforts with a Naming Convention
As you market your online courses, you'll develop "lead magnets," free valuable tools that you'll offer in exchange for an email address. Making and offering these lead magnets requires you to make social media images, landing pages for opt-ins, email campaigns for delivering the freebie and following up, and even ads. As you create all of these pieces, you'll be working in and storing your work in multiple online tools as well as on your local computer.
My best advice for this work is to come up with a naming convention and always always use it. Adpat it for all the platforms on which you're creating.
My convention is that everything starts with a company prefix (since I have two businesses). In my example here, you'll see that everything starts with "GIS" for Get It Scrapped. If I showed you an example from Teach What You Do, everything would start with "TWYD."
Next, I include either "LeadMag" or "LM" in my naming scheme. That's for "lead magnet." (Other codes that go in this spot for my work are PR for a product or CU for a content upgrade. Just trust me now and identify this as a lead magnet.)
And then, next, I number and sometimes name this item. This next image shows you 7 "Lead Magnets" campaigns I run at Get It Scrapped. Named this way, the list sorts nicely, and it's clear what each piece is for.
NOW see how this naming convention benefits me, when I run Facebook ads for a particular campaign–a webinar on scrapbooking double pagers. By starting each ad name with "GIS LM05," I can easily find those ads now or months later.
The same goes for the landing pages I make for each campaign over in LeadPages. I usually have one or two opt-in pages, a thank-you page, and there could be webinar replay pages and even special sales pages for during the webinar and afterward.
I also organize my local files for these lead magnets in folders named with the convention. See how there's a folder here for each of those original lead-magnet campaigns I showed you at the top of this section?
And I extend this convention to naming the tabs/sections in my favorite note-taking tool, OneNote.
It's all about choosing a convention and using it EVERYWHERE when you're making a piece of a marketing lead magnet. I guarantee that as your business grows, you will be so grateful to have this implemented.
5. Streamline customer support by knowing what you'll need to do again and again.
I do all my customer support myself. While I have an assistant, I've been able to streamline my support process and handle it myself in pretty short order. During a launch or any time that I'm bringing in a lot of new customers, cutomer support time goes up, but on most days, I spend less than 15 minutes per day. And I actually like it and conversations with my people!
Here's my system:
- Use a forms tool (I use the Formidable Pro plugin for WordPress) to set up a customer contact form.
- Link to this form from the menu on every page of your site and even on your Facebook page and groups.
- Keep the url standard: yoururl.com/contact so it's easy to share and intuitive.
- Ask everything you really need to know to answer the support request well and quickly; i.e., do everything possible to avoid having to ask a question before fixing the problem. Take a look at my Get It Scrapped contact form at http://getitscrapped.com/contact. Notice how I ask questions that help me zero in on what they want. Otherwise, people assume I know a lot about what they are asking. I also ask for additional email addresses they might have purchased with. Anticipate as much as possible. And tell people what to expect in a response.
- Set the form to deliver the email to you with a custom "support" subject line.
- Set the form to enable you to reply to it and have that go to the contact.
I use Gmail, so I set up a filter that adds a bright pink label to anything that comes in with "GIS Contact Support" as the subject. That way these stand out in my inbox. AND I have two times each day that I check everything in that label area in case I missed an earlier email
A tool like Breevy lets you type just a few characters and have it expand to a longer piece of text. Identify the replies you're making again and again and set these up.
For example, I have set up many abbreviations, like these.
- .thx Expands to thank someone for their purchase.
- .cp Exands to tell someone how to change their password if I've had to do a manual reset for them.
- .mbrurl Expands to provide a login url for members.
- .sry Expands to let people know I'm sorry to hear they're having a problem.
I actually use this tool ALL DAY LONG for sharing urls and resources, for typeing out my full company name, and for just getting places quickly. It syncs with Dropbox so I can use it on any of my laptops or desktop computers.
I use the Chrome extension Speed Dial to create a dashboard of thumbnails that get me to frequently needed areas of my websites for support, for example the member dashboard for Get It Scrapped since questions are usually about access to this area.
Which of these systems do you already use and which will you be implementing?
Come on over to the Prep School Facebook group and share your tools and ask any questions.
The tools I referenced in this article follow. A few of these links are affiliate links.

- Infusionsoft
- Lead Pages
- OneNote
- Facebook Ads
- Google Calendar
- Gmail
- Formidable Pro

One clean room
3 comments:
It seems that I keep expecting you to move in faster than is realistic. Honestly, I can see working someplace filthy, but the idea of sleeping there is vile. I think you've wise to make sure it's clean enough before you actually move in.ReplyDelete
Not that you need my approval, of course.
But still, I'm glad it's clean enough to work in, and you can do your paying work in relative proximity to the housework.
Well, I could even see sleeping in the front room. But (a) no hot water, (b) no kitchen appliances, and (c) no hot water mean no shower, no meals, and no shower respectively. And I ain't sitting on that toilet yet. (No, I am not taking before pictures of the toilets. You may thank me now.)ReplyDelete
So my options are limited at the moment. If I can spend the days there, things will go way faster, though. So that's my next phase.

Alternative home automation solutions typically use best effort or over-the-top technology because it is initially simpler to distribute as downloadable apps, and can be developed independant of standards-based technology, resulting in a faster time to market. On the flip side, such services often result in proprietary, closed, black box solutions. Addtionally, it can be challenging for black box providers to scale and interoperate with related services as they often include proprietary elements for user identity, signalling, content streaming, etc. Summit RCS Connected Smart Home leverages an operator's existing IMS deployment through Rich Communicaton Services, enabling operator grade provisioning, security, voice and data services. This guarantees customers get quality of service through a unified communication provider.

Raipur: Eight Maoists, five of them carrying reward on their heads, were arrested from separate places in the insurgency-hit Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, the police said here on Tuesday.
Six Maoist cadres, including a woman, were held from the Bangapal police station limits of Bijapur district during a search operation, Bijapur Superintendent of Police K L Dhruv told PTI.
They were wanted in several incidents of crimes, including murder, loot, arson, kidnapping and attacks on police patrols since 2003, the police officer said.
Last evening, a local police team was sent into the interiors of the Bangapal region, located around 450 km away from the state capital, for a combing operation.
After they reached the forests of Bangoli village, they rounded up six people on suspicion, who later admitted their involvement in activities of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) since several years, the official said.
Those arrested were identified as Shankar Warsa (50), Somaru Warsa (35), Gopi (32), Budhram Tamo (36), Kadiyam Nehru (38) and a woman called Sundari Warsa, he said, adding that they were active in the South Bastar region.
Shankar, Somaru, Gopi and Sundari carried a reward of Rs 5,000 each on their heads, he said.
In a separate incident, Lalu Korram (25) who carried a reward of Rs 10,000 on his head, was apprehended from Jhara police station limits of Narayanpur district today, a senior police official said.
Acting on a specific input, a joint contingent of the Chhattisgarh Armed Force and the district police nabbed the rebel from the Badenghol forests.
In another search operation, a Maoist cadre identified as Daya Ram Dhruve (21) was nabbed from Bilaikachhar village under Siksod police station limits last evening, Kanker Superintendent of Police R N Dash told PTI.
A joint party of the Border Security Force and the district police were on a combing exercise in Siksod region when they received a tip-off about the movement of a suspicious man near Bilaikachhar.
Subsequently, the cadre was rounded up by the security forces, he said.
During interrogation, he admitted of being involved in several offences, including attacks on police party, loot, arson and other criminal activities the area, he said.

A paranormal researcher said he's the first person to ever discover a time warp, and that he discovered it on the borders of Las Vegas. Joshua Warren has been determining the rate of time all over southern Nevada, and he stated, recently he discovered that time had actually slowed down.
He said he determined several places between Las Vegas and Location 51, but the only location he got a reading was in the desert just north of the city in between I-15 and Route 93.
"The odd thing, the genuine holy grail here, was exactly what we picked up with this brand-new piece of technology," Warren said.
The technology he's describing was the DT Meter, which represents differential time rate meter. It was just recently created by a Silicon Valley engineer, Ron Heath. It's linked to a 100-foot cable television with a sensor on the end that sends back a signal.
"That signal is always expected to take a trip at the very same rate of time at any particular place. The only way that could change is if a great void approached earth or something like that, which is never supposed to occur," Warren stated. "At this spot, on June 18 of 2018, I actually measured for the first and only time, time itself slowing down for 20 split seconds."
Warren stated that must not happen, according to the laws of physics.
"That shouldn't occur unless there is some sort of unknown technology being tested close by that would influence the environment, or if there are naturally places around planet earth that actually sort of flicker every so often, that warp a bit," Warren said.
He said where this took place brings up a lot more questions.
"I believe it's truly fascinating when you think about that this website where we got this reading, revealing this time anomaly, also occurs to be one of the most popular UFO hotspots in the area," Warren said.
He stated his research is just beginning.
"The big question at this moment is not whether we have these anomalies, however what's causing them? Is this something natural that gives us a window a gateway into another world or another level of truth? Or is this the by-product of some kind of unusual innovation, be it something secret and man-made or something that's extraterrestrial?" Warren stated.
He stated he prepares to continue determining time rate around Las Vegas to see if any pattern can be analyzed.

It's been quite some time, you see, since we here at CRR chatted with the inimitable Amber "Pixie" Wells of Punished Brats fame.
So we thought we'd discuss an array of topics and whatnot with this legend of the spanking world, and super person indeed — included below is the result, forthwith.
Also, please do check out Pixie's fine blog Here.
Thank you kindly Pixie for taking the time to chat with The Cherry Red Report. So what is the best way to kill a zombie?
Feed him Pop Rocks and Coca Cola until he explodes.
If you and Jesus had lunch, who pays?
Neither. We'd multiply fish and loaves and make tuna sandwiches.
If you could be a snack item, which one would you want to be?
A chocolate vanilla swirl pudding cup – not too bland, not too kinky, and sweet through and through
You discover a beautiful island upon which you may build your own society. You make the rules. What is the first rule you put into place?
Keep the land clean or get booted off the island.
When's the last time you ate a Hostess Twinkie?
It's been a long time. Probably sixth grade.
Have you ever impulsively bought something online, and then when the package arrives, you say "Whattttttt the heck was I thinking???"
Yes. I've made a couple purchases on Amazon very late at night when I was in a near sleep stupor and then didn't even remember making them until they arrived in the mail. I am now the proud owner of a very expensive garden soil tester.
Does anyone call you The Pixienator?
You do. 🙂
What was your favest TV show growing up as a kid?
I loved "Saved By The Bell." Quality programming.
Bubblicious vs. Bubble Yum?
Tough one. I think Bubblicious beats Bubble Yum only because they have more flavor varieties. They both have a good consistency and the regular kind is still made with all sugar, not a blend of real and artificial sweeteners as was the downfall of my beloved Juicy Fruit.
Are Pixies mythical creatures of folklore, or are they real ?
Totally real.
Do you sing in the shower? if so, what songs?
I do if I'm in the house alone. I'll usually sing whatever annoying song is stuck in my head that day.
What actor would you want to play you, in the movie version of your life?
Amanda Seyfried
Have you ever made a puppet out of a sock?
Only in fourth grade girl scouts. Mine had orange hair and starred in a music video. I wonder if I got a badge for that.
If you were the lead singer of a heavy metal band, what would be the name of the band?
I think "The Pixienators" has a good ring to it.
Why does it appear that many superheroes are, apparently, wearing their underwear on the outside?
Because they'd be way too cold flying around in their underwear without tights on underneath.
If someone wrote your biography, what would the title be?
If it was a full biography detailing both my Pixie and vanilla personas, I'd say "Secret Sides" would be a pretty good title.
Do you ever talk to yourself? and if so, what was the last thing you said ?
All the time. I tend to either list out the tasks I need to accomplish or criticize something I've done wrong. So it was likely either something like "got to water the plants" or "dumbass."
Do you have a secret talent? if so, what is it?
I can cross my eyes and lift one corner of my lip like Elvis. It's frightful so it's a talent best not shared.
What is the song on your ipod [or cd collection] that you are most embarrassed to admit having?
I downloaded a whole bunch of ABBA songs after watching Mamma Mia. Good movie, but yeah, I'd rather not have ABBA pop up on my playlist when listening with friends.
Thank you for your time Pixie! 🙂

Sharing pension assessment bases between spouses and partners living in non-marital forms of cohabitation
Praha: RILSA, 2015. 101 pp. - ISBN 978-80-7416-218-3
This monograph provides an overview of the potential for individual pension rights to be transferred by the insured to a family member or other person and the potential for the joint acquisition of pension rights of a number of people and their subsequent division in the pension legislation of Switzerland and Germany. The subsequent outcomes of the project consist of the presentation of various proposals for the introduction of such options into the Czech pension insurance system as well as an analysis of the micro- and macro-economic impact of such changes. Recommendations will be made at the end of the project on the suitability or unsuitability of applying the concept of sharing pension rights acquired through marriage and the possibility of transferring pension rights acquired through marriage in case of divorce in the basic pension system of the Czech Republic, especially with regard to the nature of the Czech pension system and the calculation formulae employed for the determination of pension benefits.

Jared Harris to Lead AMC's THE TERROR
With Dan Simmons' bestselling novel The Terror being adapted into an AMC series, the network has moved to announce that Jared Harris will be headlining the show.
AMC revealed that the actor, best known to genre fans for the likes of The Quiet Ones and the Poltergeist redo, has nabbed the lead role in the upcoming horror series.
The basic premise of The Terror finds the action set in 1847 as a Royal Naval expedition crew are attacked and stalked by a mysterious predator as they carry out a search mission for the Northwest Passage.
In the show, Harris will play Francis Cozier, the Captain of the HMS Terror and the man second-in-command when it comes to the expedition as a whole. A brilliant sailor and skipper, he's somebody who has become disillusioned with the Navy life, feeling that he's hit a glass ceiling due to the politics involved in the gig. Also on board for the series are Ciaran Hinds, Paul Ready, Adam Nagaitis, and Tobias Menzies.
On the addition of Harris, AMC's Joel Stillerman said, "The story of a man's battle with nature and an unknown predator makes The Terror a gripping and imaginative series, and calls for a special kind of actor. We are thrilled to expand our relationship with Jared Harris and look forward to watching him transform into the complex and fascinating character of Captain Crozier. We are also delighted to work with this versatile and talented cast and share with audiences the despair and horror inside this journey of survival, hope and recognition."
David Kajganich and Soo Hugh will be serving as executive producers, writers and co-showrunners.
Production on The Terror begins later this year in Budapest ahead of a 2017 premiere. The series will be made up of ten one-hour episodes.SHARE YOUR COMMENTS BELOW OR ON TWITTER @STARBURST_MAG

Júlía twist is our newest addition to our pant selection.
They are made of black quilt-like material that holds itself very well throughout washing. The side seams have been moved to the middle part of the pant twisting to the inner or outer leg. This gives the pant a slimming effect, elongating the leg and a seam on the front of the leg is always becoming!
Small shallow pockets, mostly for show, are at the front and the pants are extremely comfy yet sleek, with their figure hugging high waist band, bringing in and supporting the tummy area.
By having a waistband makes it possible to use the pants with a tight top without the zipper, pocket and button shade to be peeking through.
Wear these with flats or high heels for a night on the town and these babies will for sure give you a great time!
Note: our sizes are a bit different than elsewhere: Júlía is available in XS (suits UK sizes 36/38-40) S (suits UK sizes 40-42/44) M (suits UK sizes 42/44-46)
Care: We recommend 30°C washing and do not tumble-dry.
Blend: 96% Polyester 4%Spandex

We were made in the dark, and when we die we enter darkness once again. Yet, in our lives – at least those who are sighted – vision is primary among our many senses. We read a menu, we see what we eat… but how adept is your sense of smell, your sense of taste, even your sense of touch, at apprehending what it is that's made it to your plate, your mouth? NOX offers its unique Dine In The Dark experience to exercise tastebuds atrophied from years of subordination to the eyes, welcoming diners to its restaurant along Bugis' Beach Road only to seat them in pitch darkness. There, a team of blind and visually-impaired staff guide guests through a superb prix fixe menu that's kept a secret so the true taste test, as it were, can have its day in court – but let's just say it leans towards exquisite French and European cuisine matched with wines and signature cocktails tailored to each diners' palate. Singapore has certainly never seen a restaurant concept such as this!
It's definitely a must try experience for everyone. The three course set menu was full of surprises - me and my partner enjoyed using our other senses to enjoy this dine in the dark amazements.
This is our 3rd or 4th time and this time with Japanese expat friends. All of us had such a good time and as always, the food, service is impeccable. It's an amazing experience, food quality, dish preparation, culinary experience and taste is simply beyond amazing! We love guessing the food at the end of the entire meal and are always delighted when we see the image of the food and finding out what we ate! We will be back again in December with out of town family members!
One of a kind dining experience that brings your other senses to the next level.
This was my 3rd visit to NOX. Excellent service and great food with a fun quiz after the meal. We nailed the appetizers and the mains but had trouble identifying the desserts. Something to work on until the next visit. qe had a blast!
This is a strange dinner. Because you have completely different feeling: food tasted strange and we left some because of a strange taste (after the dinner we were shown beautiful foods on the photo, I hope I failed to feel beautiful taste because of"no image", but not because the food was not great). Dinner for 2 with wine pairing and coffees costs 300S$ - you pay for the experience, not for taste. I would not recommend it for romantic date or dining with kids for sure. It is hard for me to choise a fair rate for this place: you go there for experience and for supporting blind people employment. I would rate: experience- interesting; food - not a big deal; price- overpriced.
It was a very unique experience, eating in complete darkness and just trusting your host and senses. I was surprised by how pitch black and dark the dining area was. Took a moment to gather yourself when seated and feel the table around you. The hosts were all lovely and friendly, very informative and kind. We paired our meal with the cocktail set which was also very delicious. You can request for the drinks to be less sweet if you want too. Overall, great experience! You should try it at least once in your life. :)
Amazing front table service, wicked cocktails to start with - try the house special by Thomas Sato, the two face of Sato and be sure to pay your compliments to the Head Bartender. Excellent cocktail! Friendly and attentive server, Rahmat who is visually handicapped and to top off the cake - delicious mind blowing food to be had in the dark with no interruptions of phones or cameras etc etc. We will be back!!
Get ready to have you sense of sight taken away. You won't need it at this place but that's a good thing! It heightens your sense of taste and you can purely enjoy the food and company! The place was great, the ambience was great, the staff was great. Would've preferred it to be slightly cheaper but if it's the experience that you're looking for, then this is the one place to get it. And the good thing is, no one can see you eating like a slob!
even though we couldn't see (at all!) in the dark, we knew it was really crowded due to the noise level around us. it wasn't really conducive for our anniversary date. Secondly, because of the dark, we had to be really wary about where we place our stuff. we unfortunately spilled the drink but the mess wasn't cleaned up, so we dined while the drink was dripping off the table. i'm still giving this a 4 because of the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A truly "blind" experience. Went there not knowing what to expect but the entire experience blew me away. The food was fantastic and not knowing what we were eating just enhanced our taste buds to try to pick up the nuances. A pity was the wine pairing because we felt it was a little rushed and we were unable to drink the wine slowly.
