Guns & Ammo magazine released its list of the best and worst states for gun owners last week, and Vermont tied with Arizona at the top of the heap. The magazine's graphic, at right, confusingly says Vermont is number 2 and places the state in the crosshairs (why shoot Vermont if it's awesome for guns?), but the Green Mountain State and the Grand Canyon State are level on points atop the list. Each came one point short of a perfect score.
Each state received a score out of 10 in each of the following categories:
CCW/Open Carry: States that don't require a permit for concealed or open carry scored a perfect 10 in this category. Everybody else was judged accordingly. MSRs: States with no restrictions on the kind, type or number of modern sporting rifles (ARs, AKs, etc.) that can be owned or purchased scored a 10 in this category. Class 3/NFA: The majority of states allow their citizens to own Class 3/NFA-type firearms (machine guns, suppressors, short-barreled rifles, etc.), provided they follow the federal licensing standard, but not every state is yea or nay. Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground: States' scores were determined based on how strong your law is regarding self-defense in and out of the home, and whether in the right you're immune from civil prosecution. Miscellaneous: How pro-gun the state culture is has a lot to do with scoring in this category. Scores are based on the percentage of gun owners in the state, if there are any restrictions on gun or ammunition purchases or magazine capacity, pending pro- or anti-gun legislation, CCW reciprocity, and any restrictions on guns that [are] not covered in the other categories.
And here's how Vermont scored:
CCW/Open Carry: 10MSRs: 10Class 3/NFA: 10Castle Doctrine: 9Miscellaneous: 10
CCW/Open Carry: 10MSRs: 10Class 3/NFA: 10Castle Doctrine: 9Miscellaneous: 10
Guns & Ammo praises Vermont's lack of ammunition restrictions and concealed carry requirements. The only thing holding the state back from a perfect score was a lack of specific laws about Castle Doctrine, a.k.a. the right of a person to use deadly force to defend against a home intruder. And though the list was compiled before this legislative session's pending gun control legislation petered out, that didn't affect Vermont's "miscellanenous" score — maybe they knew that, like most such laws proposed here, it wasn't going anywhere.
Our neighbors in New Hampshire also landed in the top 10, securing a score of 47. Across the lake, New York didn't fare as well — the Empire State has a score of just seven. Only Washington, D.C., which got a big fat zero, is lower on the list.

Johnny Depp is ready to rock. The recently single actor took to the stage with Aerosmith Monday night to shred the guitar with Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and the rest of the legendary crew.
"We're going to need a little help out here," Tyler announced to the Hollywood Bowl crowd. "Johnny Depp, are you in the house?" Depp, wearing his signature brimmed hat, walked out to deafening screams — from 18,000 people in the crowd — and picked up a guitar for a performance of "Train Kept a-Rollin'."
As The Wrap notes, this isn't the first time Depp's gigged with the band. At a May after-party celebrating the premiere of "Dark Shadows," the actor, Aerosmith and Alice Cooper performed a rendition of the Beatles' "Come Together." In June, Depp took to the stage at the MTV Movie Awards for two songs with The Black Keys. He also joined good friend Marilyn Manson at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards in April, riffing his way through "Beautiful People" and "Sweet Dreams."

text: Sydney - Pat McCabe has paid a heavy price for his Rugby World Cup bravery after having a shoulder reconstruction that is expected to keep him on the sideline for six months. The versatile back had surgery on his right shoulder in Sydney on Tuesday, and will miss at least the first month of the Brumbies' Super Rugby campaign next year. He will also miss the Wallabies' end-of-season trip to play the Barbarians and Wales next month. But he vowed to do everything in his power to return to the field earlier than expected for the Brumbies' first season under new coach Jake White. McCabe arrived back in Australia at the weekend after the Wallabies finished third at the World Cup. His long recovery is a cruel blow after he was elevated into the Wallabies' starting XV this year and made the inside-centre spot his own. The Brumbies begin their season against the Force on February 24, but McCabe isn't expecting to be available for selection until late March or early April. ''I wanted to have the surgery as early as possible, because it's a six-month recovery and I wanted to miss as few games as possible for the Brumbies,'' McCabe said. ''It's obviously pretty frustrating but it's something I have to get right. I have to look at it as an opportunity to improve my skills and physical attributes for when I can play again in March. ''This year has been long, and it has taken its toll physically and mentally so, hopefully, I'll come back fully recharged and ready to go for the Brumbies.''

Cats like to eat meat because they are obligated carnivores. Animal proteins are the only forms of protein that provide any nutritional benefit. It is not unusual to find a cat eating broccoli, grass or another green plant to help regulate her digestive system better.
Meat provides cats with essential amino acids necessary for survival, such as arginine and taurine. A taurine deficiency can lead to blindness, development abnormalities in kittens, and heart disease. Grass helps cleanse a cat's digestive system, assisting her in regurgitate hairballs, parasites or food that does not agree with her.
Most cats prefer fresh meat or canned food to dry kibble. Fresh meat is most attractive because it is the purest form of animal protein. The type of kibble in protein often has too high an amount of plant-based protein, such as soy, rather than animal-based protein. Dry food also has a higher count of carbohydrates, offering no nutritional value to the cat.
If a cat enjoys eating something like a potato chip, she is doing so simply due to enjoyment of the flavor. Carbohydrates offer no nutritional benefit in cats, since they are unable to convert carbs into energy. Some vets put cats on high-fiber diets to assist in weight loss.

The first week of raiding is over, a lot has happened over the week.
For the officers it has meant getting back into raidleading after being away from the raiding scene for a year and a half or more.
We've found out which players we want going forward.
And we've cleared 7/7 Normal and 2/7 HC, all with a new team consisting exclusively of trials.
A pretty good job for the first week I'd say.
Naturally we have higher goals than this though.
Going forward we will be on the lookout especially for strong DPSers and Healers to join us as we step into the harder fights on heroic and eventually mythic.
And I also want to advise all raiders to come fully prepared with consumables to our future heroic raids, as we found out on Ursoc HC, we need every edge we can get in terms of numbers.
Good job everyone on a relatively successful first week and congratulations again to all the trials who got promoted to Raider rank.
First week

Can Manchester United Turn Their Season Around?
Manchester United stole the headlines during the transfer window with their record signing of Paul Pogba, but on the field, things have not been easy for the Red Devils so far this season. Fourteen league games into the campaign, United are sitting in a disappointing sixth place, a whopping 13 points behind league leaders Chelsea.
A title run seems almost unfathomable at this point, but United fans do have some reasons to be optimistic about the rest of the season.
Improvement From the Attacking Midfielders
Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Anthony Martial were basically non-factors for Manchester United in the first few months of the season due to ineffectiveness and injuries. However, both players have returned to the starting lineup over the past couple matches, and they have combined for two goals and three assists in the team's last two games. Obviously, this is an extremely small sample size, but the track record of both players indicates they should be strong contributors on any team.
Martial scored 11 goals with four assists in league games last season, and he was the best player for Manchester United a year ago, according to WhoScored.com's rating system. Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored 11 goals with 15 assists for Borussia Dortmund last season in the Bundesliga, so he has established himself as a top tier attacking midfielder, as well. It seems likely that the slow start for these two players was somewhat of a fluke, and they both should produce much better going forward for Manchester United.
Manchester United Have Been a Bit Unlucky
There is currently a fairly large six-point gap in the Premier League table between the top five teams -- Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal -- and sixth-place Manchester United. There is an even more glaring gap in goal differential, with fifth-place Tottenham at plus-14 and United at plus-3.
|Goals For
|Goals Against
|Goal Differential
|Man City
|Man United
On the surface it appears that Manchester United are simply outclassed by the top five teams in the league, but if we dig a little deeper, we can see that this is not entirely accurate.
Manchester United are currently fourth in the EPL in shots attempt per game, ahead of league leaders Chelsea and second-place Arsenal. They are ranked fifth in the league in possession with 55% per game, also ahead of Chelsea, and they rank fifth in the league in shots allowed with 9.7 per game.
These three stats do not tell the entire story, but it does seem that Manchester United are not quite as outclassed by the top five teams as the table would indicate. If they are able to maintain these shooting and possession stats, then Manchester United will almost certainly be able to close the gap between them and the top five just by having a bit more good fortune.
Zlatan Is Heating Up
Manchester United has struggled to score goals this season, and much of this was due to a scoring drought from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Zlatan had an 11-match stretch from September to early November where he scored only one goal. However, over the past month, he has broken out of this slump in style, scoring six goals in his last five matches (in all competitions).
Zlatan is a world-class goal scorer with a pristine track record, so it seems unlikely that he will go on another prolonged scoring drought again this season. Plus, he should be getting much better service from his outside attacking midfielders now that Mkhitaryan and Martial are starting to reestablish themselves as consistent starters.
Season Expectations
Manchester United have dug themselves into a hole early in the season, but there is reason to be optimistic about the remainder of the season. Manchester United have played a bit better than their placement in the standings would indicate, and that is without getting the production they would expect from Martial, Mkhitaryan and Ibrahimovic.
A title chase is, in all likelihood, out the window at the moment. However, if the Red Devils can get more production from these three players, and if their luck starts to turn for the better, Manchester United should still be able to challenge for a coveted Champions League spot this season.

President Obama is expected to officially nominate Janet Yellen, the current vice chair of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, to the Fed Chair post now occupied by Ben Bernanke in the White House East Room this afternoon.
But what does a Yellen pick mean for the mortgage-backed securities investors who have grown accustomed to not only Fed intervention via quantitative easing and ZIRP, but a constant stimulus in the form of the Fed buying up to $40 billion in MBS each month?
"This was expected," said Paul Miller, managing director with FBR Capital Markets. "It's a bone to the market, saying we are going to continue to have an easy money supply until this economy starts to pick up steam."
He added, "She is a big supporter of the MBS buying spree, so mortgage rates will go down, not up, with this particular appointment."
As for when a Yellen-led Fed will grant a pullback in QE, that decision is likely to revolve around the unemployment rate.
"I think the timeframe is when the unemployment rate really starts to move in the right direction," Miller added. "They want to see more momentum in the market before they start tapering."
Isaac Boltansky, an analyst with Compass Point Research & Trading, offered his viewpoint Wednesday, saying Yellen's nomination is not a "seismic shift towards the doves and quantitative easing in perpetuity."
In fact, the Fed Chair still only has one of 12 votes on the Federal Open Market Committee, which determines the trajectory of Fed policy.
Still, Yellen is a predictable force, and one that is likely to reinforce some of the policies adopted by Ben Bernanke – namely a communicative Fed and a more dovish tilt in regards to Fed intervention.
"Our sense is that Yellen is, at her core, a consensus builder," Boltansky said. "While Yellen is decidedly dovish, the simple fact is that the composition of the FOMC will take a slightly hawkish shift in 2014. Two of the more hawkish regional Fed presidents – Plosser and Fisher – will rotate onto the FOMC in 2014."
Boltansky believes Yellen, unlike Larry Summers, will easily be confirmed, despite suggestions that Senate Republicans will raise questions about the Fed's dependence on QE and its reluctance to steer away from it.
Still, Compass Point notes that back in 2010, Yellen easily secured the support of the Senate Banking Committee to become vice chair of the Fed.
Ed Mills, also with FBR Capital Markets, believes Yellen will be easily confirmed.
"Democrats are generally unified in their support, following their opposition to Larry Summers," Mills explained. "We expect opposition from a number of Republican Senators related to her support of the Fed's current accommodative monetary policies. However, it will likely be hard to hold up her nomination in the aftermath of current fiscal fights, and we do not see enough opposition to sustain a filibuster."

DC MEDIA is proud to introduce our new multimedia products for the Chiropractic profession. These commercially produced spots can be used in both thecommercial television media as well as the internet utilizing the new social networking.
Exposure is very important in today's market and getting the biggest bang for your buck is very important. You need to make your point quickly while keeping your cost low. We have recently reduced our rates for our commercially produced products to the lowest prices ever. Most of our AVI and FLASH products are 40% or more off. We realize that the economy isn't making any kind of productive recovery yet and are willing to put our money where our mouth is. Now you don't have to spend the bulk of your media budget on production. You can reserve it for distribution. That allows you more time on the air instead of more time in the studio.
Why would we do this? Well, to be frank, we are sick and tired of the negative, degrading exposure the Chiropractic profession is getting today and feel that if enough doctors could put media like this up on the airwaves and internet, we would see a greater influx of patients utilizing Chiropractic services as well as a better understanding as to WHY they would use it.
Research has demonstrated that Chiropractic is less understood today than even 10 years ago. While professions like Acupuncture are receiving positive media, Chiropractic is receiving negative and degrading media attention and because of this exposure, when additional information comes available to confirm this negative exposure, it becomes news.
Take the time to peruse the site, it's DCMEDIA.US. View the spots and see why they are getting attention. Some are educational, some critical and some comical but all are entertaining. What do you have to loose? Remember to look at the store pages as well so you can see how your office would appear at the tail of each spot. Buy one or buy 10, it doesn't matter.

So there has been a lot of funny talk about marriage at The Daily Dandy lately. I called to memory-and even pulled up and recited-a post that made me chuckle. I thought it really put things into perspective then and I still do now, as I have repeated this story more than once in the past week.I hope it brings you a laugh and some perspective too.
This is a RE-POST which first appeared here on July 29th, 2010. Titled "Divine Intervention"
So I was at my store the other day and one of my favorite customers and I were having a chat. We were talking about marriage and spouses and such, seeing as I'm heading down that path again in just 5 short weeks. We talked about longevity and commitment and how marriage is work. I was telling her that my mom has been complaining that she is really frustrated with my dad lately, for one reason or another. My customer then relayed this story to me, which I found to be quite amusing, indeed. I then, immediately relayed the story to my mom. True or not, this is one I will remember.
She told me that she had seen an interview with the Rev Billy Graham and that she always calls it to mind when she is feeling less than amorous with her spouse. She said it gives her peace.
The story goes like this:
The Reverend was asked by the interviewer if the Lord had ever spoken to him directly. The Reverend response was, "Only once." He went on to say that he had been arguing with his wife one day and while shaving his face alone in the bathroom, still stewing over the specifics of their argument, the Lord spoke to him and said, "You're no bargain, either."
I couldn't help but think it was genius.
Whether or not the higher power actually intervened and spoke those words of truth to the Reverend is completely irrelevant to the point, which is, so true.
"You're no bargain, either"
Damn, ain't that the truth.
This is not an endorsement of the Reverends teachings, or a religious or political agenda advancement. It's just a simple take on that age-old commitment of marriage.
It sure puts things into perspective doesn't it?

Injuries and the fact it is an away trip tonight might mean a more conservative approach at Millwall.
But Clark insisted he sees age as only a number.
Jack Butland, 19, kept goal for Blues while Nathan Redmond, 18, and Ravel Morrison were in midfield.
James Hurst, 20, started at right-back, while Will Packwood, 19, was on the bench.
"I felt that we needed to have an energetic, high-tempo team and the players I picked are very attack-minded, coupled with our goalkeeper and the right-back, it was a young team," said Clark. "As I said at the start when I took over, I don't look at the birth certificates, whether they are old or young, just what they bring to the group, their attributes."
Hayden Mullins and Keith Fahey could be in contention at the Den, while Nikola Zigic serves the second game of a three-game ban.

A week from Sunday, Carlos Meza will join nearly two dozen friends and family members in front of the TV in his stepfather's tiny second-floor apartment. They'll gather behind tables filled with takeout pizza, tacos and sushi, and coolers filled with beer and soda, to watch the Indianapolis Colts battle the New Orleans Saints for the NFL title.
"This year is going to be my 20th Super Bowl in a row," Meza, 28, said proudly.
Nothing unusual about that. Last year's Super Bowl telecast drew a record 98.7 million viewers in the United States. But Meza won't be watching in the U.S. His stepfather's apartment is in a middle-class neighborhood in downtown Mexico City, where futbol is more commonly played with a round ball.
In recent years, however, the city has also become home to a loyal, passionate -- and rapidly growing -- NFL fan base. T-shirts, sweaters and replica jerseys bearing the emblems of the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins -- the country's most popular teams -- have become commonplace all over Mexico, where the NFL Network is now available on basic cable and 40 movie theaters in 10 cities show Monday night games live on the big screen.

Last year we spent Thanksgiving week doing a mission tour with Elder Kopischke. As we were walking into the Valencia chapel on Thanksgiving morning, Elder Kopischke turned over to us and asked, "Is today the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States?" We had a spiritual feast and a wonderful Thanksgiving!
This year we were in Barcelona with no conflicting meetings, so together with the couples put on a real Thanksgiving dinner. The Deweys (who work of the U.S. State Department) provided canned cranberry, the couples cooked up wonderful dressing, potatoes, gravy, sweet potato pie, the works! With the help of the invaluable Carolina, Hna. Hinckley ordered and cooked a 10 kilo turkey from the local poultry shop in the neighborhood mercat, and the feast was complete!

I've signed up to do A Month of Letters, beginning today. This is a simple and straightforward challenge to correspond more with other members of our community. Send one thing through the mail each day, excepting Sundays, and reply to anyone who writes to you. That's it. As an introvert with a busy schedule and a lot of stress, I don't reach out nearly as often as I want to. I think about it, and then something else bustles into view and I have to focus on that instead. By setting a specific start and end date, I can more comfortably devote the time and energy, like when I sent holiday cards in December.
More than that – for me it's a tiny way to connect in a tangible way to people I mostly interact with online. As Mary Robinette Kowal said in this year's introduction post:
It's really not about getting letters, it's about reaching out.
I mailed 28 holiday cards this last year, mainly to people I hadn't spent time with in person, and heard back from folks who were truly touched. I know what it's like to only get bills in the mail, and I'm looking forward to being able to offer a little friendliness in the mailbox instead.
Want to join me? You can add me as a friend, here: http://lettermo.com/members/carriecuinn/

Sometimes, being too selective has its disadvantages. For somebody like me who likes my shows a bit serious, without moe or harems or ecchi etc if possible, the tipping point was the weight of real-life worries. Not only did I not like to watch sad shows that would make my mood even sink further, I wanted to seek out lighter shows from my usual fare. My pickiness probably borders on elitist sometimes but this time, I was willing to take off the pet peeve goggles for a while. I do not know if this seems like lowering of standards, or if this is just me looking for something more positive from what I usually watch. I might be thinking too much these days, I'm afraid.
So where did I find material? The shows that I normally ignored from the previous seasons, those shows which I dropped or dismissed as fluff, provided some watchable finds. What were these shows? Read on.

Dear Fellow Travellers-
My parents and I are planning a trip to England and Scotland this May, and one small part of that is my great desire to ride horses in Scotland (or northern England). I was thinking there might be a small chance of combining that in some way with seeing Hadrian's Wall. Any advice? I have had a terrible time trying to find any horseriding at all. I like to think of myself as an experienced rider, my mother is familiar with riding, and Daddy will do his best!
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
Miss Helen

Where do these two pieces go?
Where do these two pieces belong? After Screen replacement, I hd there two parts left over. I took notes of everything I removed, but these fell from somewhere. One is a rubber-ish bar, the other looks like some kind of shielding. Anyone who knows were they go, Thanks in advance.
Is this a good question?

Black sheep (Aap ki Parchhaiyan)
It is here that the husband plays a big role. He should strike the right balance between his wife and his parents. He should know the correct amount of attention he should pay to his newly wed and to his old parents. Once this balance is struck by the man, the family will run ever so smoothly, with every one getting his due share of love and respect. But, when the man himself commits errors in judgement and understanding, petty quarrels will turn into big sqabbles. And, mountains will be made out a molehills...
This is the kind of mistake that Baldev makes in Aap ki Parchhaiyan, Mohan Kumar's 1964 treatise on family bonding and relationships. As the title suggests, and as hinted in the film, a newly married woman follows the example of her husband in her dealings with her new family. So, even though Rekha, the rich girl is actually a good girl all ready to make a smooth transition from a well-off girl to the dutiful daughter-in-law of a middle class family, it is her husband who balks at her attempts. Soon, misunderstandings start creeping in between her and her in-laws and she changes her stand. But, I have to say, she is not the one to blame. From the start it is Baldev's fault. He should not have interfered into her proceedings when she was getting familiar with the ways of her new home. And, later when she was the rude to her unfortunate in-laws he should have slapped some sense into her. Baldev however, does admit his fault. But then he does so when it is too late. And, I keep feeling he got away too easy...
Soon Baldev's indiscretion leads Chandramohan and his mother to misunderstand Rekha. This I believe is a grave mistake that the two commit (not that they deserve their misfortunes for this). They blame the new member of the family for their son's change in attitude, little realising that she is new and has been trying hard to blend in. Why is it that most in-laws point their fingers first at the daughter-in-law for the errors that their son commit? They should recognise the black sheep of the family.
Rekha overhears their conversation and understandably, feels very bad. To make matters worse, her friend advices he to shift to another bungalow, away from Baldev's family. Initially in two minds, Rekha sees sense in this and convinces her husband to take a large bungalow on rent. Here Baldev commits another error. Instead of scolding his wife for her indiscretion, he readily agrees to move out with her. He forgets that his parents are crumbling under the debt they had incurred for his medical studies. He neglects the fact that these old people will be distraught with his decision. He also does not care about his younger brother who loves him dearly.
While Baldev and his wife spend happy days in their new home, the rest of the family see trying times. Sucked into the vortex of poverty, Chandramohan has to quit his studies. Soon Baldev and Rekha are blessed with a son. As events unfold, Dinanath loses his eyesight after a freak accident in the chemist's lab he works in. They lose their ancestral house to moneylenders and the three are forced to move into Baldev's bungalow.
Sad times continue to rule as the old couple are insulted day in and day out by Baldev and his wife. Here, Rekha is seriously poisonous with her tone and words. But then, she has been shown the wrong path by Baldev, I still feel...
Chandramohan gets a job in Calcutta and leaves Baldev's home after extracting a promise from his brother that he takes care of his parents till the time he can come and take them away with him. But, unable to bear the humiliation hurled at by his elder son and daughter-in-law, Dinanath and his ailing wife walk out into the street. Baldev, in my opinion must be severely dumb. Even when his little son, in his play mode, tries to drill some sense into him regarding his duties towards his parents, Baldev chides his son nonchalantly without gauging the gravity of the situation...
The sorrows keep multiplying for the old couple, till tragedy strikes with Dinanath's wife's death. While all this is happening Chandramohan returns from Calcutta to take his parents with him. On learning that they were driven out by Baldev's bad behaviour, he gives both his brother and his sister-in-law a sound verbal thrashing. Watch the film to know what happens next. It is engaging, trust me.
The music, as I said earlier, is great, especially Main nigahein (Mohd Rafi's silken voice is mesmerising) and Agar mujhse mohabbat hain. But the scintillating one is Yehin hain tamanna. It's teasing, naughty and extremely catchy. And, thoroughly funny when Dharmendra starts dancing...
The other person providing comic relief is Om Prakash, who plays the hilarious ayurvedic practitioner Vilayati Ram. His wife is equally funny. Manorama here is very different from her usual cunning self.
Nazir Hussain is spot on, as is Leela Chitnis and Shashikala. In fact, Shashikala's looks and makeup is kept separate for the two personalities that she portrays. When she is good, her look is very Indianised and homely. In the scenes when she treads the negative road, her look is a bit westernised, with modern hairstyles and makeup.

Update: after I posted this, I checked how it looked on the screen. The FIRST thing I saw was my "verse of the week" which reads "They that WAIT ON THE LORD..." So, OK, Lord, you don't have to shout! I'll wait. Again.
Everything I just wrote and disappeared into cyberspace! I hate when that happens! I shall endeavor to reproduce verbatim everything I lost, but don't hold your breath....
Plug time: don't forget to click on the "Rebel for a Cause" linky thingy on the right & donate to 3 very worthy causes. We (bloggers) get nothing, but the sense of helping others. See post below for all the details.
It's been 4 whole days since I started blogging, and I have nary a follower to show for it. So, how about an incentive? IF you "follow" my blog, there will be a little something extra in your stocking this Christmas. How can I do this? Easy: Santa! Santa makes magic happen each and every year at my house. Children are helpful, my son doesn't fight with his younger sister for 24 hours, the house is clean for those same 24 hours (coincidence? doubtful).
Or, it's a God-thing. Yeah, that's probably what it is. "For nothing is impossible with God." Luke 1:37. If God can impregnate a virgin by saying so, and have all that turn out for good, He can do anything. I believe that. Can he give me 10 million bucks? Sure. But He won't. That's not what I need. What I NEED is to depend on Him for everything I have: food, shelter, clothing, peace. And right now, I need a lot of peace. Home is in turmoil due to circumstances beyond our control, and I'm getting about 4 hours of sleep a night - in bits & pieces. I'm supposed to be celebrating the season of joy, and all I can do is worry about our turmoil. Yes, I do trust in God & depend on him for all things, but the what-if monster (Satan) knows each & every button I possess & is pushing ALL of them right now. I'm button weary. I need peace. Send me peace, Lord.

While I would never want to live in these houses, I just LOVE them. You had some pics on here that I haven't seen before! As for my pic on my backsplash, it's actually a metal piece with the palm leaves cut out to reveal the wall behind it. I bought it at TJMaxx some time ago, but I'm pretty sure I saw one yesterday (didn't lift it out). It was only 19.99! Good luck!ReplyDelete

Each year the football staff allows me to be down on the field capturing all the memories I want with my camera! Even though I get in there way from time to time, they are always allowing me to capture the kids and they never complain (at least not to me) about it! So as a thank you, I create each of them a scrapbook with photos and scores from each game along with some extra shots, including individuals shots and after hour get togethers! I also put a DVD of all the photos I captured at the back of each book!
This year I created 9 books! I used Creative Memories Football Digital Addition and the Storybook Creator Software to create the pages. I purchased double sided matte photo paper (from Staples) and printed the pages out on 8-1/2" x 11" papers then trimmed them to 8" x 8" and binded them myself using my Unibind Photobook Creator and 8" x 8" Unibind photobooks!
I was thrilled with how they turned out and the coaches seemed to have been as well!

The Possum is laid up in his crib this weekend (April 20) after a misstep at a Nashville area fast food restaurant.
George Jones broke his right foot Thursday (April 18) when he slipped and twisted his ankle during lunch. Jones didn't realize he had broken the foot until several hours later, when pain and swelling prompted him to have it x-rayed.
Doctors ordered the Country Music Hall of Fame member to stay off his feet for a few days. He'll wear a foam boot brace for the next six weeks.
Concerts Friday (April 19) in Tyler, Texas, and Saturday (April 20) in Muskogee, Okla., have been rescheduled for May 4 and May 12, respectively. Jones resumes his regular touring schedule next Friday and Saturday (April 26-27) at the Alabama Theatre in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Jones recently played a benefit concert outside Fort Hood, Texas, that raised more than $75,000 for the National Veterans Foundation. He performs a special concert June 11 for troops at Fort Campbell, Ky.
Jones current single is "50,000 Names," a song about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. He'll sing the song and the national anthem May 26 at NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte, N.C.

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday!
Welcome to Day Two of previews for the fabulous new All Smiles Card Kit from MFT! This gorgeous kit will be released tonight at 9PM EST right HERE in the MFT Boutique!
I am in LOVE with this kit! These flowers are SO fun, and thanks to the new Smart Align technology, it's a breeze to line up your stamps with the die-cut panels! For my card today, I started with a panel of Smooth White Card Stock cut with Blueprints 13 Die-namics, and I added a strip of patterned paper down the side from the Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Paper Pack, also cut with Blueprints 13 Die-namics.
I added a circle frame cut from Cement Gray Prestige Card Stock using the Single Stitch Line Circle Frames Die-namics. The flowers and leaves were cut from Smooth White Card Stock using then Plentiful Petals Die-namics, and I stamped them using Plentiful Petals set using Ripe Raspberry Premium Dye Ink, Cotton Candy Premium Dye Ink, Pineapple Premium Dye Ink and Sour Apple Premium Dye Ink. I arranged the flowers and leaves around the circle frame panel and popped them up with Foam Tape. I stamped "YOU'RE AWESOME" from All Smiles using Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink onto Smooth White Card Stock and trimmed it down and added it to the card. A trio of enamel dots finished off the card.
Thanks SO much for stopping by! Please head over to the MFT Blog to check out what the rest of the team has created using the All Smiles Card Kit!

From FiveThirtyEight:
Want these election updates emailed to you right when they're published? Sign up here.
Hillary Clinton's lead in the polls has been declining for several weeks, and now we're at the point where it's not much of a lead at all. National polls show Clinton only 1 or 2 percentage points ahead of Donald Trump, on average. And the state polling situation isn't really any better for her. On Thursday alone, polls were released showing Clinton behind in Ohio, Iowa and Colorado — and with narrow, 3-point leads in Michigan and Virginia, two states once thought to be relatively safe for her.
It's also become clearer that Clinton's "bad weekend" — which included describing half of Trump supporters as a "basket of deplorables" on Friday, and a health scare (followed by news that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia) on Sunday — has affected the polls. Prior to the weekend, Clinton's decline had appeared to be leveling off, with the race settling into a Clinton lead of 3 or 4 percentage points. But over the past seven days, Clinton's win probability has declined from 70 percent to 60 percent in our polls-only forecast and by a similar amount, from 68 percent to 59 percent, in our polls-plus forecast.
That's not to imply the events of the weekend were necessarily catastrophic for Clinton: In the grand scheme of things, they might not matter all that much (although polling from YouGov suggests that Clinton's health is in fact a concern to voters). But when you're only ahead by 3 or 4 points, and when some sequence of events causes you to lose another 1 or 2 points, the Electoral College probabilities can shift pretty rapidly. A lot of light blue states on our map have …

The First 250 Words of Star Swans and Sarki
In fact, I've been in a bit of a funk over the story since I realized I cut too much information from the beginning a couple of weeks ago. I don't want to put the parts I cut back in, so now I'm coming up with ways to show the information (which is going to take my word count back up). I've decided I need a ghost scene near the beginning. *grins* I love what I've been playing with because it involves one of my favorite characters. The character doesn't have a big role in the story because he stays behind to take care of their home, but he's important to the main character. This scene would show how they interact and keep my readers from being confused about the ghosts. I hope.
I'm feeling better about the story again (now that I have a solution), and my first sentence is a finalist over on Elle's blog. You can click here to read my first 250 words in her comments section, if you're interested. And you can laugh at the fact that it took me three times to post my entry without errors. ;)
Also, if you have a book on pacing you'd like to recommend, I'd be grateful. It's something I'd like to focus on this revision. Thanks!

Well, you got me interested! I want to know what she knows...and how she knows it.ReplyDelete
Thanks for reading it, Sue!ReplyDelete
Congratulations, Myrna. I like your first sentence. It's descriptive and colorful, as is the rest of the 250. I'm curious about the world :-)ReplyDelete
Myrna, I did this exact thing with Trinket. I needed that opening to shine, and it didn't. And I felt like I was telling about something in a backstory kind of way, so I changed where the story opened and put the reader right in the middle of the scene I'd kept alluding to.ReplyDelete
Oh, the tinkering we do!
Oh, revising is so painful. One of the best "craft" books I've found for revising is THE FIRST FIVE PAGES by Noah Lukeman. Highly recommended!ReplyDelete
Congrats on being a finalist, and good luck! I made it to the finals, too, so I'll cross my fingers for both of us. :)ReplyDelete
And good luck on your rewrite. I hope all goes well!
Congratulations, Myrna. Your sentence evokes a beautiful image. Good luck! (And good luck to you, too, Shallee:) )ReplyDelete
Good luck, Myrna and Shallee!ReplyDelete
I think that opener is really good! Very vivid and you establish the relationship between them. Congratulations on being a finalist!ReplyDelete
1. Congratulations!ReplyDelete
2. LOVE the spooky new look :)
3. I really like the first sentence, particularly the part before the comma. A period could go right there; I think it's be pretty :) No, seriously, it presents an interesting image and brings up all kinds of tantalizing questions. Good luck!
Oops. I think IT'D be pretty.ReplyDelete
I think your first sentence is especially good because it doesn't use any shocker statements. It just is intriguing by itself. Your description is awesome-I could really see the orchard and the path and Lani asleep in the tree. Really good, Myrna. I hope you win.ReplyDelete

An Inglewood man turned himself in to police after a triple shooting in South-Central Los Angeles early Sunday morning that left one woman dead and her twin sister and a man wounded.
Hoburt Walter Jacobs, 43, was booked on suspicion of murder and attempted murder in connection with the shootings inside a home in the 600 block of East 82nd Street.
Denise Brown, 19, died at the scene, police said. Her twin sister, Deneen Whitaker of Inglewood, was wounded in the face by a shot from a handgun and was listed in satisfactory condition after surgery at Martin Luther King Jr. Hospital.
Victor L. Wilson, 20, of Los Angeles, who was shot in the stomach, was listed in stable condition at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in West Los Angeles.

Last thursday I met two of my favourite Urban Sketchers from Singapore: Tia Boon Sim and Paul Wang. We had dinner in the University Club restaurant, we showed our drawings, and exchanged experiences. It was great to see the beautiful drawings of Tia and Paul in reality; like so often, they are so much better in real life than on the screen.
They also showed me some tricks, like using the calligraphy fountainpen Hero 501-1 (which I managed to buy the next day) and splashing random colour splashes on paper as preparation for an Urban sketch.

Liars and Politicians
Posted by Steve Markowitz on April 19, 2017
Politicians are generally a slippery bunch. While initially they may enter the field to improve cities, states or the federal government, they are often corrupted by the lure of reelection and the power and money that flow from it.
Prior to modern digital media, changing and ridiculous politicians' statements were often lost in time. Now, with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., a politician's statements are memorialized forever. This brings about a daily litany of political doubletalk, lies and/or stupid statements in clear view.
This week we can thank Congresswoman Maxine Waters for the entertainment within a two minute interview on MSNBC, as included in the video below. First, Waters confirms that she called for impeachment of President Trump. Then, almost immediately said: "I have not called for impeachment." Ms. Waters' flip-flop would be comical if one could forget that she is involved in writing the Country's laws.

My wife and I have found ourselves embroiled in a disagreement over politics with some family members. They, being on the other side of the issues have been relentless chiming in with similar statements as Maxine Waters here. What's ironic, is that we never brought up the issue of politics and when did, they found us in an opposing view to their own. They have now taken to Facebook to enlist support from their leftist buddies. Even when you present proof of the left's bobbing and weaving like what Maxine Waters does in this video, we are wrong and they are right. We said we felt "demonized" by the left and boy did they take that personally. In a reply to my family members post on Facebook, one friend of theirs said those who are on the opposite side of their argument "lack intelligence'" If that's not demonizing, I don't know what is.

Hello Forum,
I just finished a PhD in the materials science and mechanics with a focus on biomedical applications. Since I didn\'t wish to pursue an academic career I began looking for industry jobs about 4-5 months back. However, I have had only one interview which didn\'t go very far. I\'m finding that I have a cross-section of skills, that though extensive, are not really a suitable fit for almost any industry job. I don\'t to leave science, but I\'m not super keen on the postdoc option. However, I feel I\'m being cornered into it for lack of a better choice. I have some postdoc offers where I think I would be able to build my experimental and numerical repertoire to be a more attractive candidate. However, all of these postdocs want a two year commitment - I\'m basically interested in picking up some new tools, and then transitioning as soon as possible. I could accept one of these postdocs and then leave earlier, but I don\'t wish to burn bridges or be unfair (I\'ll admit I wasn\'t exactly up front about my goals).
I\'d like some advice on what would be a reasonable and fair course of action.

Algeciras is a coastal town in Cádiz province. It is not the sort of place to linger unless you like industrial towns - and Arab things like mosques and mint tea!
I have been there twice. The first time was to catch a boat to Morocco so all I saw was the quayside. The second occasion I did see more of the town but found it rather drab. It does have an attractive central square - Plaza Alta. Tiles, depicting scenes from Don Quixote, adorn the benches and walls surrounding the central fountain and cafes and bars line the perimeter of this delightful square.
|Algeciras - decorative tiles in Plaza Alta
Algeciras is handily placed for visits to Gibraltar and Tarifa. It is also the place to catch the train to the medieval city of Ronda - an extremely scenic journey through natural parks and past beautiful pueblos blancos.
|Algeciras - Ronda train
For most people, however, Algeciras is just a stopping off place, en route to Tangier and Morocco.

I do believe it is good to take time to think about our lives and what is going on inside ourselves. It is true we do get answers when we do that.

Listen, it'll give you new life. ♥
@Jo - being alone with your own thoughts brings clarity, that is true!
la solitude est trop dure....mais parfois elle est nécessaire....parfois il faut arrêter tout et prendre le temps nécessaire pour qu'on avance à nouveau!!

I am looking forward to getting started in blogging again. I am growing so much in my role as a wife and a mother that I want to share what I am learning with those around me. Putting it into words solidfies the concepts for myself even if noone else reads it.
Today, I have been focusing on 1 Peter 2. It lists faith, goodness, knowledge, self control, preserverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love as attributes to which a Christian should strive for. In that chapter, it even goes as far to say that if you increase in these attributes it will keep your faith from becoming ineffective and unproductive.
My dh has been toying with the idea of starting a family worship/devotional time. So we decided to start with studying and making the Jesse Tree. Basically, we will study scripture and make an ornament following the lineage of Jesus. We will be using the template found here http://www.eriercd.org/jessetree.htm

Definition: "Software as a service [...] is a model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided to customers across the Internet." (Wikipedia)
Software as a Service (SaaS) can be a very attractive model for software vendors. Here, I share my experiences of transforming the desktop application FeedJournal to use the SaaS model.
FeedJournal was born into this world as a .NET desktop application; a fruit of Microsoft's Made In Express Contest that ran in 2006. After the contest (First Prize, thank you Microsoft!), I took some time off to learn ASP.NET and port the application to the web. The port itself wasn't too cumbersome; most of my time was spent learning the development platform and web development patterns. Today, FeedJournal Publisher employs the SaaS model throughout, and users can run it from their web browser, or by using a REST API. Below, I count 10 obvious benefits that came from this transition:
1. Fear the Hacker
"FeedJournal will not be reverse-engineered!"
My initial reason for turning to the web was purely technical. FeedJournal was (and still is) unique in the way it automatically orgainizes articles in a slick newspaper format. I was worried that someone would reverse-engineer, copy and rebrand my invention as a competing product. It is particularly easy to reverse-engineer .NET and Java applications, because they are distributed as intermediate byte-code and not as machine code. By providing a free demo download of FeedJournal, the stage was set for any evil hacker to play copycat.
By instead deploying the application to a web server, the binaries are never exposed to the end-user. This is a huge benefit for anyone who does not trust the power of utilities to obfuscate byte-code. Now, my build process is also simpler because I do need to run the application through an obfuscator on each build.
2. Fear the Cracker
"FeedJournal's registration system cannot be cracked!"
Many people will never pay for software. And not because they opt to use free software, but rather because it is relatively simple to get hold of pirated copies. Sadly, it is often more simple to use pirated software than to hop through the loops of registering a product legally.
Some people argue that pirated software is beneficial for the industry. They claim that pirated software gets exposure that will generate more sales. Be that as it may, I take my chances by eliminating the risk of anyone cracking my piece of software by using the SaaS approach. No cracks or keygens will work to gain illegal access to FeedJournal. And even if it such a crack would be possible, I can easily patch the security hole for all users at the same time. No old crackable versions would be available anywhere.
3. Finance
"The monthly sales are stable!"
Having users subscribe to use a product is very attractive from a financial point of view. The earnings become less erratic and it is also more attractive to users who only need to use the service for a shorter amount of time.
Charging subscription fees for locally installed software is not practical. Many software vendors instead charge a running support fee, which seems to be working quite well for larger companies. On the other hand, support still costs money for the organization and it doesn't fit in with the attractive software utopia where you build a product once and sell it forever.
But, by having the software hosted on your server, it suddenly becomes acceptable to charge a subscription fee for access. This is perhaps the most attractive aspect of SaaS from a business perspective!
4. Usage Statistics
"I know how many users generate a newspaper each day, and which functions people use!"
For a desktop application, you know how many users have downloaded and registered your product. But it is more difficult to know how many people have installed it and actively use it. Ping-back solutions, where the application secretly sends a message to the author's web site, is frowned upon and can be disabled by users with a firewall.
For a hosted application you will get a huge amount of statistics at no cost at all. It doesn't matter if you host it on your own server farm/basement or use a hosting provider - you are guaranteed to have more data than you could shake a stick at. This data can of course be used to improve your marketing focus (where are my users from and from which sites did they arrive?) and product development (which features are most popular?).
5. Catching Bugs
"If something bad happens in the software, I'll be the first to know!"
Software is difficult to write. Sometimes things go wrong and the application throws an exception. If the user sees an exception, he will obviously think less of the software and perhaps stop to use it. When desktop applications crashes, the author will find out about it only if the user takes the trouble of submitting a bug report. Even if the user submits a report, it is likely to miss the detailed information the developers require to pinpoint and squash the bug.
A hosted application can easily catch and log all exceptions directly to the server. Additionally, you could send exceptions to an e-mail or instant messaging address to be notified right away. This ensures that you have a complete image of all problems in your software, and it will be easier to assess which bugs affect users the most.
6. Deployment
"Prospects can start to use the software within 20 seconds of landing on feedjournal.com!"
The barrier to entry for a web application is of course much smaller than that of an equivalent desktop application. No download and installation of the product are required. Simply register a new user account and you are set. Also, dependencies can cause problems in desktop applications, where different applications require different versions of the same DLL or framework. All of those headaches are gone in the SaaS world. Additionally, it is much easier to manage and deploy resources (fonts, images, etc.), because they only need to be installed on the web server.
And, as a big bonus, you don't need to worry about users running ancient versions of your product - the product is only installed on the server and the vendor updates it whenever he wants!
7. End-User Configurations
"Linux or Mac? No .NET/Java framework installed? I don't care!"
FeedJournal can be used by anyone with a modern browser and PDF reader. In short, basic software that is available on all desktops configurations.
FeedJournal was initially available as a Windows .NET application. It wasn't long until requests started to pour in for supporting Mac OSX, Linux and older Windows versions. It is difficult enough to develop software for one platform, who needs the headache of supporting a multi-platform product?
A web application still needs to pay attention to different web browsers on various operating systems, but these problems are tiny in comparison - especially when using cross-browser libraries such as JQuery or Yahoo UI.
8. License Registration
"The serial number will never again be caught by the spam filter!"
FeedJournal Publisher users don't have to worry about registration, because registration is automatic on payment approval.
Anyone who had to deal with the business end of product registration knows that as soon as registration keys need to be handled, the headaches grow. Users mistype the serial, they copy and paste the wrong section, or generally need someone to hold their hand while registering the software. Using SaaS, you eliminate the step where the user registers. Simply provide a PayPal link and set up some simple automatic or semi-automatic flow where the user's subscription expiry date changes accordingly.
9. The Multi-Computer User
"Users can generate their newspaper from any Internet café!"
It is more and more common that people use multiple computers during the day or week. Perhaps they have one or multiple computers at home and another at work. These users do not want to buy one end-user license for each computer, but they would still want to access the software from multiple workstations. Again, SaaS solves this problem that would require some hard thinking from the developer of the desktop application.
10. Always Connected
"The end of 'Cannot connect to the Internet' problems!"
There is no longer any need to handle issues with end-users behind proxies or firewalls. As soon as they can access the web, they can use your web application. You know that your application will always be able to access online content.
In summary, the Software as a Service architecture and business models can be very attractive choices for people trying to make a living from building, maintaining and selling software. Saas is not a model that fits all applications, but you should keep it in mind for your next software product!

Tenacious Nerds Kalamar: Bet Rogala Chronicles
Kraxus Artorious
Knight Commander of Draska & Former "Iron Top" Legionnaire
Born Half-Fhokki and Half-Mountain Dwarf.
Appears mostly as a Fhokki but extremely muscular.
According to Karastan and Draskan archives Kraxus is 45 years of age.
Draska- Entrance beneath the Byth Mountains
Kraxus was born in the Hidden Dwarven City of Draska. He is the Son of deceased Fhokki Lord Korr Artorious of the Artorian Knights and of deceased Ironheart Dwarf VelRana Ironheart. He is one of only a few hybrids known to exist.
At just eight years of age his Mother and Father both died. Kraxus was adopted by his Uncle Korvenus Ironheart and was relocated to Karasta. He was mostly raised by his Brother Drakk Ironheart. Kraxus was recruited into the "Iron Top" Legion at just 10 years of age. After many years of training and loyal service he was made the offer of taking over command of his Father Korr's Artorian Knights in Draska. Kraxus was honored to follow in his Legendary Father's footsteps and jumped at this oppourtunity. He is currently the Commander of an independent army of over 4000 Artorian Knights and Shield Dwarves.
Kraxus searched for his Brother Drakk diligently when word spread of his capture by the Dreadscale Marauders. After over 20 years of searching he ran into Drakk outside of a brothel in Draska. They had a long reminiscent conversation and Kraxus learned that after Drakk earned his freedom from the Emperor in the Arena he joined the Blackwood Tribe of Kalasali Hold and has served them quietly and loyally for many years. After their conversation the Brothers parted ways with hopes of remaining in contact. Kraxus knew that this was possibly the only opportunity he would have to recruit his Brother and any of his Blackwood tribesman into the rebellion, however he also knew that recruiting Drakk into anything would be no simple task. The decision to join would have to be his Brother's idea. Drakk always had a mind of his own and is as stubborn as it gets… Even for a Dwarf.

Self-defrosting freezers briefly circulate warmer air inside the freezer between one and four times a day to prevent ice crystals forming on food. Although self-defrosting freezers represent an added expense, they offer more even temperature control and less loss of food to freezer burn.,
Once food is frozen solid, it is mostly protected from freezer burn. Freezer burn is the term for dehydration caused by ice forming frost on the packaged foods and food containers in the freezer. Freezer burn can result in a lot of wasted food, as it ruins the texture, color and taste of food, especially meats, if it can't be trimmed away. Self-defrosting freezers prevent the build-up of ice crystals on packaging and in the air space inside storage containers where food is only thinly wrapped or unwrapped entirely. Self-defrosting freezers have a mechanism to heat the unit's evaporator coil and melt any ice that forms on it. The water then drains away, or, if the freezer is combined with a refrigerator, helps to maintain proper humidity levels in the refrigerator compartment. Also, the defrosting and cooling cycles circulate air back and forth from the refrigerator to the freezer to maintain the proper temperature in each compartment.

Friday 9th January 2015this one.
It certainly had a very clear red pepper flavour. The wild boar was tender but a little dry, with a strong gamey flavour. The sauce was sadly rather sour, which we later put down to the rather poor red wine I used at the very start of the recipe. A good reminder that a meal is only as good as the ingredients, and that it is a bad idea to use cheap wine that simply doesn't taste nice. No need to use the best Pomerol, but you should always use a wine you would be happy to drink.

[looking good in the blues]
well the week or so since i have returned from my below sea level dutch / flemish / swedish holiday have been super busy. i got in a great ride with tim, well not so great as he got 6 flats [yes he was NOT riding conti's tires or tubes and took all of my patches], but it was great to get out and suffer [wow, 15 days off the bike sucks] up the san diego east county climbs. tim has an eloquent summery of the ride and his flats at MASIGUY.
[heading home after all the flats, hence the smiles]
now on to the latest additon to the club, our first junior rider, casey debold. a lean, mean, soon to be arizona state champ [not like tim...] in his age group. MASI set him up with an awesome team race bike and i had the privledge to deliver it to him. after setting it up and getting the fist go at sizing it, we head out for his first ride in proper cycling shoes and pedals [speedplay]. the next day was a little different and very reminiscent of tim's and mines ride the previous weekend. i hear a all to familiar bang behind me and see casey pull over and we are about to fix his first flat. the combination of simano rims, vittoria tires did not make for a clean, fast and simple tire change. after 3 tubes and a few patches and all of our c02, we had to call for the support vehicle to come pick casey up [as i continued on my conti riding way for the rest of the planed ride]. we then spent the rest of the afternoon buy and installing some conti gator skins on his almost impossible to re-tire shimano rims. latest report, no flats, hum imagine that.
[casey after our fist ride]
[casey looking good]
ok off to interbike... late at night of course, i will try and update tomorrow and friday with some cool new stuff.

Food and service deserve plaudits,
but hopefully the business model
doesn't stumble
|The Bar at Sotto
We went to Sotto for our anniversary because a number of friends had said how much they liked it since the opening over a year and a half ago. We decided to make a reservation because we had a gift card to Nada, another restaurant owned by David Falk. The card said it could be used at Falk's three restaurants (the other being Boca).
|Sotto Dining Area
Sotto is a basement restaurant and the space has been completely re-worked since it housed La Normandie over a decade ago. Though shadowy, it's easy to see other guests and the food you're eating. It's also been described as loud, but we didn't think it was a din, unlike many other restaurants downtown and in the Gateway Quarter. We were able to take in the friendly and efficient service by all of the staff. Our waiter was excellent and dealt quickly with a communication hiccup over part of our order. As he pointed out, portions are meant to be shared and, fortunately, since the menu is not extensive, a party of four could cover most of the selections. We followed his suggestions for dishes.
|Chicken Liver Mousse
with Pistachio Bruchetta
We started with the Chicken Liver Mousse with Pistachio Bruschetta (there are six choices) and it was excellent. The mousse was buttery and glossy, but held its texture when spread on the toast. The nuts lent both a bright color and piquant sweetness to the dish. We had the grilled bread (yes, you pay for bread at a Falk establishment) and it was a great way to mop up the sauces of our two Primi choices.
|Semolina "Gnocchi"
These were the Semolina "Gnocchi" and the Short Rib Capellacci. The gnocchi are semolina – not potato – based and they were like a lighter, warm polenta with a tomato sausage sauce topped with pecorino. It was filling, but the sauce had light citrus notes. The capellacci is a must order.
|Short Rib Capellacci
I realized later that it was what Judy and Karen and Tom had ordered on different visits and all had enjoyed it. The pasta is parchment thin holding a pillow of the meat, which was slow-cooked to perfection. The sauce is a delicate butter, highlighted by thyme.
|Buttermilk Panna Cotta
We decided against a Secondi because we didn't want to stuff ourselves, though all three choices sounded very attractive. Instead, we ordered the Panna Cotta for dessert. It's buttermilk vanilla with a few macerated chopped strawberries. It was also a delicate dish and simply presented. It was very good, though my gold standard is Zula's version.
|Pasta Makers
Everything was fine until we found out that Nada is being spun off into its own brand and they couldn't take our gift card. Thanks, David Falk, for deciding to become an empire builder and leaving customers in the dust. After a few moments of awkwardness, the manager worked things out with exemplary skill. It's lucky that Falk hires such a good staff. One thing to keep in mind: the Commissar brothers also built an empire and it crumbled and Jean Robert has seen one partnership fall apart, but is currently building another. Be careful with your business aspirations, mes chefs, when you're known for your food. Cameron Mitchell, out of Columbus, has been able to build and spin off ventures because he has always put the dining experience ahead of great, unique food, though it's always been very good.

Casino gaming provider and slots developer, Play'n GO, has purchased Proactive Gaming Scandinavia AB. By adding the company's product range to its vast portfolio, the provider has strengthened its expansion strategy to other markets, thanks to a variety of additional gaming assets, advanced solutions and verticals. Operators in regulated gaming sectors will now have access to a larger selection of keno, scratch cards and instant mini games.
The agreement brings a number of benefits to Play'n GO, as it will be able to offer poker games and use Proactive's expertise in bingo. However, the biggest asset of the company and its key to success is the technical team, whose proficiency grew a huge database of customers on PAF and Idrottens Bingo – regulated iGaming operators.
Play'n GO has always pushed the boundaries and strived to achieve more, and this acquisition proves the company's efforts in building a much larger database, says Johan Tornqvist, CEO. Thankfully, Proactive Gaming has put a lot of development expertise into the whole process, which was recognized and rewarded. The transition's benefits will also be demonstrated at ICE 2018, and these include extended portfolios, back-office enhancements, and improved gaming offerings.
Owners and developers at Proactive Gaming are delighted to have become a part of such an important iGaming organization and look forward to building higher standards in terms of product development. The award-winning supplier will showcase on stand N3-460 at this year's ICE, which takes place between February 6th – 8th in London. Apart from their omni-channel solutions for specific market requirements and highly advanced HTML5 gaming content, a line of administration and reporting tools will also be presented.
