JiliK's N64 Tape
Back in secondary school, I had a good mate who'd come over every now and then to play some N64 games. In 2002, he hadn't been around in a while; not surprising, considering it was the year of our final exams, but dammit, I had several newly-acquired games I was desperate to show him at the time. So, in a typical display of patience and reason, I set about making an elaborate, VHS-based highlight reel of the games in question to pass along to him at school. I think I spent about two weeks putting the whole thing together, N64 hooked up to my crappy old VCR, remote in one hand, controller in the other. The resulting tape wasn't exactly a master class in gaming, but I think I got all the cool bits of the games I wanted to show him in there. Questionable gaming skill aside, I was really proud of my little production, watching it several times myself before finally passing it onto my mate.
When the age of YouTube dawned, I thought it would have been kind of neat to put the tape up there for all to see, but there was one slight problem: I fucking taped over it, and not even by accident. I guess that episode of Friends or whatever was just too important not to record and cherish forever. :D Well, a few months ago, it was ten years since I made the tape; I'd just picked up a USB capture device, and a copy of Sony Vegas; and I still had all the games within arm's reach. Hey, what if I remade it? In a move just as dumb, or maybe dumber than the first time around, that's exactly what I did; shot for shot, as best as I could remember. So, without further ado, let's fucking watch it:
Part One: Conker's Bad Fur Day
Part Two: The World is Not Enough
Part Three: Star Fox 64
Part Four: International Superstar Soccer 98
Part Five: Perfect Dark

The invention of grip seal bags
Grip seal bags are a very popular choice for people when it comes to the packaging of many kinds of materials. This bag whose outstanding attribute is the strong self seal strip has many advantages. The bag is air tight when sealed and will therefore also not allow water or vapour in or out of the bag. This bag is also made from some very strong polyethylene material that is resistant to many adverse forces such as tear, puncture, and abrasion forces. The bag is mostly made in a transparent plastic that makes it easy for one to see the contents of the bag. These bags are used to store several things including foodstuffs, small office items such as pins and staples, hardware items such as screws and buttons. The bags can also be used to package liquids including blood in hospitals.
Grip seal bags are also known as Ziploc bags. Proper Ziploc bags utilise a blue sliding tab which is the zip. Grip seal bags on the other hand have ridges on the inside of the bag's opening that interlock. The invention of these bags was enabled by the previous invention of polyethylene bags which was in the early 1950's. Ziploc bags history can be traced back to 1951 when the company Flexigrip was formed with the intention of developing and marketing a plastic zipper. The invention of this zipper had been purchased from the inventor who was Borge Madsen who had also patented the invention. In 1961, Flexigrip Inc. obtained exclusive manufacturing and selling rights for the United States for the Minigrip plastic zipper bag. Thecompany bought these rights from a Japanese company Seisan Nippon Sha who had invented the bag and had patented the innovation. After getting the rights, a company was formed that was to concentrate its efforts in the production and marketing of the Minigrip zipper bags. Around 1964, Minigrip Inc. then got an exclusive license that would then allow the bags to be used in the grocery trade especially in the supermarkets. This was done with the Dow chemical Company which then named the product Ziploc bags.
From its invention, the grip seal bags have continuously grown in popularity and this is due to some outstanding attributes including its cost effectiveness and efficiency. The materials that are used to make the bags are easily available and are not costly. Despite their being cheap, the bag has outstanding quality. The bag is also very durable.

SHe was AWESOME! she let me, and only me sleep in class (since i always got 100%s) She was helpful and really nice but she was too soft hearted.
Terrible teaching, absolutely no clarity, she doesn't understand how come people have difficulty in her field.Our class average was about 25% and people were scoring .5% in her 430 Exams. Awful.
Very nice and patient unless she had a bad day - but most of the time, she's in a good mood. She's willing to repeat, reexplain some lessons, but it's not always clear. Overall, one of my fav. teacher
i loved her, i almost faileed her clas but she was so nice and really helped me out trying to make me understand. she's adorable and sweet and helpful. ty mme boire !
tres gentille petite madame, explique jusqu'a temps que tu comprennes parfaitement (oui elle explique meme si la question est vraiment stupide), vraiment vraiment gentille et tres bonne prof

Very kind teacher...Shouldnt be a big deal in Sc. physik if u listen n take notes
i really loved this teacher. i hate science physique but yet i passed because of her. i did so many " recuperation" and she helped me soooo much . that just proves how patient and nice she is . with her help i went from a 48 to a 79! loved her!
I don't really think she's a good teacher but I have to admit that she's a really nice person, I liked her alot...
I was sleeping at the end of the year and i got one 100% & 3 marks over 90. She is really cool and understanding for an old teacher.

text: The Lincoln Patriots are chasing something that very few upper-class basketball teams have accomplished in South Dakota high school history. Perfection. There are tough hurdles ahead, including a home date against rival Sioux Falls Roosevelt (11-7) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, plus the entire post-season. But if the top-ranked Patriots (19-0) stay the course and claim their first State AA boys' title since 1995, they can cement their status as one of the top teams in state history. The last undefeated champion in the big school ranks was Coach Gary Munsen's 1984-85 Mitchell squad, which went 23-0 in the final year of South Dakota's two-class system. Two years earlier, in 1982-83, Coach John Odney guided Sioux Falls Washington to a perfect season. A lot of powerful State AA teams have tried to capture that magic in the last 24 years and failed, but Munsen knows what it takes. "It's unusual and very difficult," said the veteran coach. "You have to have kids who are dedicated to what's going on." After several recent white-knuckle finishes - including Saturday's 72-68 road win at Rapid City Stevens and a 47-45 victory at Watertown on Feb. 5 - the Pats realize that anything can happen on a given night. "We know we're vulnerable," says 6-foot-4 forward Brett Anderson, one of 11 seniors on the roster and also a key member of Lincoln's champion football team last fall. "Every time we go out there, we know the game can go either way - and the (perfect season) can end very quickly." Still, Munsen believes the Patriots have what it takes to run the table, pointing to the team's impressive depth and athleticism. "They also have a great leader in Coach (Robin) Burgard," Munsen said about the Redfield native Burgard. "I talked to Robin earlier in the year and told him I hope he goes undefeated, because it's something you'll never forget." Munsen knows a lot about the Patriots - mainly from a winning perspective. His Kernels beat Burgard's squad twice last season during Lincoln's 20-5 campaign, the second time in the State AA semifinals. "In the tournament game (a 56-49 win), we didn't turn the ball over and we spread the floor and were patient taking our shots," Munsen said. "It would be difficult to do that this year with the shot clock. But the key to beating (Lincoln) is to get them in a low-scoring, ball-control game." Numerous other teams have tried that - and failed. It's no secret that Lincoln likes to run, but this year's Pats have also been successful when teams slow it down. "We've been able to play lots of ways," said Burgard, in his fifth year as head coach after taking the reins from Britton native Lyle Pearson - now the Lincoln girls' coach. "We've won games in the 40s and the 70s." The senior-paced Pats have done it with roster depth and pressure defense. They've also done it the last two games without their leading scorer, 6-foot-4 senior forward Derek Carlson (13.9 points per game). Carlson, who sprained his ankle Feb. 9 during a YMCA pick-up game, went through a light workout Wednesday and is expected to at least suit up Friday. "It's tough to lose a starter and an important part of your puzzle," Burgard said. "We've been lucky to be able to play eight or nine players." Pushing the pace Mitch VandenBerge, a 6-6 senior, has started in place of Carlson, which has caused Lincoln to change its rotation and makes the team a bit smaller. VandenBerge, who averages 6.6 ppg, has answered the call, scoring 18 points in his first start, a 65-46 win over Rapid City Central on Friday. The Pats are also fortunate that they have several other weapons. Anderson, the other "big guy" at 6-4, averages 9.3 ppg, giving Lincoln a solid front line. In the backcourt, they have a trio of senior ball-hawking wizards, who are as adept at driving the lane as they are at draining the 3-pointer. Seniors Anthony Muilenburg (11.5 ppg), Almir Krdzalic (8.6) and Luke Hannemann (6.2) have a combined 139 steals on the season, with the high-energy Krdzalic leading the way with 62. The Bosnia-born point guard also averages 4.9 assists. Two other senior guards who provide strength off the bench are John Van Peursem (5.1 ppg) and Tony Bergstrom (3.4). All five guards give the Patriots a dominant pressure defense that has helped the Pats to a 14-5 edge in steals per game, while holding their turnover average to half that of opponents (11 to 22). "Their defensive pressure and their athleticism is what you have to be concerned about," said Roosevelt coach Bob Wilber, a Miller native. "In our game (a 70-43 Rough Rider loss in late January), they had it going in all phases. They are a complete team in all areas." Truly a team Perhaps the one intangible that makes the Patriots so special is team chemistry. "More than half of us have been playing with or against each other since middle school," said Muilenburg, a multi-sport standout who helped lift Lincoln to its first-ever state football title. "We're not just friends on the court - we hang out, we bond and we're good friends." Adds Anderson: "It's fun playing together, and we know how to play with each other. It just flows - on and off the court. It just seems like we have an instinct and we know what each other will do." The Patriots also are bidding to become the first State AA school to win football and boys' basketball titles in the same school year since Sioux Falls O'Gorman did it in 2005-06. Such a double-double is extremely rare in South Dakota, despite the division. Senior Anthony Muilenburg said the group's can-do attitude carried over from one sport to the other. "Winning a football title gave us the confidence and the mentality of knowing we can win," he said. While the rankings and all the attention is nice, all involved know there is room for improvement. Burgard said every team is getting better, and his Pats know they have to continue to improve as well. "We haven't reached our peak yet; there are still things we want to change and add for district play," the coach said. "We want to get better in our half-court defense, and rebounding is always key." In their continued quest for perfection, if they should stumble before the postseason, it wouldn't be the end of the world. "A loss would be an eye-opener as to what we need to do to get better and what we need to change," Anderson said. "None of us has played a full game that we are satisfied with." Muilenburg said the team is getting there. "We're about 85 percent," he said. Opponents better hope the Patriots don't find that extra 15 percent.

Four Saudi militants to die for terrorism
Four suspected Saudi terrorists have been sentenced to death while 16 others were given jail terms ranging between two and 23 years and banned from traveling abroad, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.
The defendants, who belonged to a 94-member terror cell, were accused of issuing religious edicts against Saudi rulers, making preparations to wage a war against the Kingdom and attacking the country's oil installations.
The verdicts were issued by a specialized criminal court in Riyadh.

All virtual machines usually run as a process instance under process "vmwp.exe". So to kill any specific virtual machine we need to find the Process ID or Virtual Machine GUID f. Then you can use Windows Task Manager /Powershell/Commadline to kill the same
I have already mentioned how to find process id or virtual machine GUID in another post. Here it is! Now let's go ahead kill this bumpy virtual machine. As soon as you kill the virtual machine vmwp.exe will restart the same. So if you want to turn it off use turn off parameters too.
Killing Virtual Machine Using Powershell
You can save below 3 lines in a ps1 (Powershell file) & utilize the same directly.
$VMName = read-host -Prompt "Enter Virtual Machine Name"
$kill = (gwmi -q "SELECT * FROM Msvm_ComputerSystem WHERE ElementName = '$VMname'" -n root\virtualization).ProcessID
Stop-Process -id $kill –F
Killing Virtual Machine Using Windows Task Manager
After you found the VM GUIDs, open up Windows Task Manager, Go to Performance Tab, Click on View Menu, Click Select Columns & make sure you select PID & Command Line.
Now from Command Line Colum find out the VMWP.exe process which is referring to the above GUID. And you can kill the process afterwards. Refer to the below screenshot

You can find the server GUID from the VM config XML file. Usually the XML file is named as the VM Name. And you will find the config file in the Virtual Machine folder. But if you have not changed the default path for the virtual machine config folder in Hyper-V Management console you will end up having all XML config files in the same folder. Then it will be difficult to find out which file is pointing to which server.
Here are some easy methods to find out all virtual machines, their operational state, and their process ID & GUID. All these information are usually stored in WMI namespace root\virtualization & class msvm_computersystem. So we are going to query the WMI namespace & retrieve all these info. Screenshots were taken on different times after multiple time of kill operation, so process ID may be different in each screen shot ;-(
Using Powershell
Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\virtualization -class msvm_computersystem | select elementname, operationalstatus, processid, name| ft -auto
Here is another method; you can query for a specific virtual machine too.
(gwmi -q "SELECT * FROM Msvm_ComputerSystem WHERE ElementName = 'brajesh'" -n root\virtualization).ProcessID
Where "brajesh" is the Virtual Machine Name displayed in the Hyper-v console.
Using VB Script
Here is the WMI script created by Michael which retrieves the VM GUID, BIOS GUID. Save this script as a VBS file & run it as "cscript <filename>"
Option Explicit
Dim WMIService
Dim KvpComponents
Dim VMList
Dim VMSettingList
Dim VM
Dim item
Dim setting
Dim component
'Get instance of 'virtualization' WMI service on the local computer
Set WMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\virtualization")
'Get all the MSVM_ComputerSystem object
Set VMList = WMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Msvm_ComputerSystem")
For Each VM In VMList
if VM.Caption = "Virtual Machine" then
WScript.Echo "========================================"
WScript.Echo "VM Name: " & VM.ElementName
WScript.Echo "VM GUID: " & VM.Name
WScript.Echo "VM State: " & VM.EnabledState
' Now get the BIOS GUID for this VM
Set VMSettingList = WMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Msvm_VirtualSystemSettingData")
For Each setting In VMSettingList
Dim tempVMname
tempVMName = "Microsoft:" + VM.Name
if setting.InstanceID = tempVMName then
WScript.Echo "VM BIOS GUID: " & setting.BIOSGUID
end if
end if
Using this script I found my VM as "D756AC93-6711-4854-A6CE-E42B4978A505"

In one of my last post I have discussed about Microsoft iSCSI Target Software 3.3. You can use this software to convert your (old) servers especially where you can populate a bunch of high capacity SATA/SAS HDD to convert the same to an IP SAN. Well this kind of scenario may be applicable for LAB/SMB business units where we don't want to buy/spend lots of money for a specialized storage box. Well these days a lot of low cost SAS based DAS or IP-SANs are available in market with specialized storage features. So for usability you have to decide where you can use this kind of setup. Lets build a highly available storage, kind of active passive iscsi storage controllers ;-). Hope you are not getting confused with Building a MS Failover Cluser using MS iSCSI Target Software.
In my environment I used to have a Dell MD3000 SAS based direct storage box. I can connect 4 Servers directly without any path redundancy to this storage box & 2 Servers with 2-redundant path. But I have bunch of old (10) Dell Poweredge servers in my lab (generated out of dc consolidation project), I would like to repurpose them in my LAB & for some low priority low production purpose in my headquarter. Well none of my servers or devices is having warranty any longer. Renewing warranty or buying new hardware is out of budget. So I thought let's do it this way…..
Note: In next version of iSCSI Target I would like to see direct use of physical disk not VHDs inside NTFS partition. I could have also used those 8 Stand Alone Poweredge Servers to again create a hyper-v cluster using exported iSCSI volumes. But I never thought of that as a requirement because I will be using them in my test lab. Even if one server fails I will re-assign iSCSI exported virtual disk (LUN) to another node & start VMs over there. We can design all components in a better way to provide more performance like one VHD in one LUN, redundant network connections etc.

This error came in most of the IP SAN storage boxes. As per Microsoft's KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972107 it is a connectivity error. I mean you have defined some wrong/duplicate iSCSI SAN target in your iSCSI Initiator's discovery portal/favorite targets section, which can't be connected.
In my case I used have a Equal Logic PS series SAN. As per requirement I used install Dell Equal logic Host Integration Tool Kit software in all of my iSCSI imitator machines. It installs its own MPIO software on the top of MS MPIO driver & manage connection & it really do in a good way. Whenever we add a new target it create an entry under its favorite target section. I have installed-then uninstalled- then installed, so it created a couple of fake target entries in the favorite target section for the same target. After the 1st connection being initiated, iSCSI initiator can't login to those fake targets. So this error was coming. I just remove them & it worked for me.

PASADENA — A city investigation into allegations of racial discrimination at King's Villages housing project in Northwest Pasadena found that black applicants were rejected and black tenants evicted in greater numbers than Latino applicants and tenants over the last six years.
But the report did not determine whether the actions were a result of racial discrimination as claimed by the King's Villages Tenants Union Organization.
The Pasadena Board of Directors on Tuesday asked for a closed meeting next week with City Atty. Victor Kaleta to consider suing the housing project owners, Goldrich, Kest & Associates, to get records needed to determine whether there was discrimination.
"The numbers demonstrate clearly to me, anyway, that what has been alleged happened," said City Director Rick Cole. "The question is why."

NEW YORK (AP) -- The HMO industry's move to raise prices, cut payments to doctors and abandon unprofitable Medicare customers is paying off in higher profits. Most of the biggest health maintenance organizations, including Aetna-U.S. Healthcare (AET) AET, +3.70% , PacifiCare (PHSYB) phsyb and United Healthcare (UNH) UNH, -0.17% have just reported rosier-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings and the picture looks even brighter for 1999. "This is the year where we finally are seeing a recovery in the managed care field," said Joel Ray, an analyst with Wheat First Union in Richmond, Va. "What's driving it is very simple: We finally have premium increases outpacing medical inflation."
In effect, HMOs that for years sacrificed profits to add members, have quit that strategy and decided to start pleasing shareholders. The change in tactics isn't pleasing consumer advocates, who now are complaining about rising health care costs after years of assailing HMOs about the quality of care. HMOs have enacted rate increases by an average of 5 percent to 10 percent in recent months, while health costs last year rose about 5 percent. That's a big change from the prior three years, in which HMOs kept rates virtually flat as an effort to attract new members while their medical costs were rising. As a result, HMO profits have fallen steadily since 1994. Most HMOs lost money in 1996 and 1997, according to InterStudy, which tracks HMO trends. PacifiCare Health Systems and Coventry HealthCare (CVTY) cvty on Tuesday both reported fourth-quarter earnings that were stronger than expected. Earlier this month, Humana, which was among the first health plans to seek significant rate increases in 1997, reported profits that were in line with analysts' forecasts. On Thursday, Oxford Health Plans (OXHP) oxhp became the latest large HMO to beat Wall Street estimates, even though it continued to lose money. Once the darling of HMO investors, Norwalk, Conn.-based Oxford trimmed its fourth-quarter loss to $19 million from $285 million a year ago. That worked out to the equivalent of a loss of 42 cents a share, not including unusual expenses, beating the 78-cents loss that analysts expected, according to a survey by First Call. The results failed to help Oxford's stock in a declining market. It tumbled 6.7 percent, or by 1 5/16 to close at 18 3/8 a share on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Oxford, which now has 1.7 million members, narrowed its losses by quitting several unprofitable Medicaid markets and raising rates an average of 10 percent. Despite losing 9 percent of its members in the last year, Oxford expects to return to profitability later this year. "HMOs have culled back and walked away from unprofitable business, they've gone back to the basics," said Ray, the analyst at Wheat First Union. HMO profits should rise even more this year because many plans reduced money-losing coverage of Medicare enrollees starting Jan.1. The industry has largely abandoned Medicare, saying the federal government no longer provides them adequate fees to care for the seniors. About 440,000 seniors had to change health plans or return to traditional Medicare because their plan left Medicare as this year began. HMOs also have been able to renegotiate doctor and hospital contracts, cutting the payments the medical providers receive from the plans for treating patients. Additionally, plans have benefited from increasing out-of-pocket drug costs. As a result, consumers now must pay a higher fee if they want a brand-name drug or one not preferred by the HMO. Employers have accepted the higher premiums from HMOs this year largely because many have not faced significant rate increases since 1994. Employers expect health plans to raise rates by at least 8 percent this year. "From a buyers perspective, I don't think there is an overwhelming sense of alarm," said Paul Shumway, a health consultant for Towers Perrin in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. While the picture is improving for HMOs, the plans still face challenges of strong competition in many cities. And then there's the possibility of new consumer protection legislation being proposed by state and federal lawmakers, bills the HMOs fear will mean higher costs. Any action by Congress and state legislators is being driven by strong anti-HMO consumer sentiment, which may worsen with revelation that HMOs are turning their premium dollars into profits. "Congress needs to act so HMOs are accountable to the bottom line and to the public at large," said Gail Shearer, director of health policy for the Consumer Union.

Deploy a logs management infrastructure (Elasticsearch+Kibana+Fluentd) with Ansible
During the last weeks I started to play with Elasticsearch, Fluentd and Kibana. I made a documentation to help on deploying it easily.
As you may know, I'm an Ansible fan, so I made Ansible playbooks to deploy a complete infrastructure (server and clients). They will deploy this kind of architecture:
On the client side, Fluentd clients will get syslog and Nginx logs, to send them to the Fluentd server. On the server side, a Fluentd receiver will be there to get data from other Fluentd clients. It will then push it to the Elasticsearch server. The Elasticsearch server is located on the same server than the Fluentd receiver to make it simpler. An autopurge can be configured directly from the playbook using curator tool. To finish, Kibana is installed on the server to make it simpler as well.
You can find those playbooks on my GitHub or on Ansible Galaxy.
Is it complex to configure Ansible playbooks it? I made my best to make it as quick as possible and as customizable as possible (for the context and my needs). What you need to do is first getting playbooks like this (site.yml):
# All machines
- name: fluent-clients
hosts: all
user: root
- fluentd
- "group_vars/fluentd_client.yml"
# Log
- name: log servers
hosts: logs
user: root
- elasticsearch
- role: nginx
- server:
file_name: kibana.domain.com
server_name: kibana.domain.com
listen: 80
root: /usr/share/nginx/www/kibana/src
location1: {name: /, try_files: "$uri $uri/ /index.html"}
- kibana
- fluentd
- "host_vars/kibana.yml"
Then you have to configure/adapt the mandatory options to your needs for fluentd_clients (fluentd_client.yml):
## Fluentd client
# fluentd fqdn used by forwarders to fluentd
fluentd_server_fqdn: kibana.domain.com
# Address of elasticsearch used by fluentd
es_fqdn: localhost
es_port: 9200
# Syslog plugin
fluentd_plugin_syslog_ip: 127.0.0.1
fluentd_plugin_syslog_port: 5140
And like this for the log server (kibana.yml):
## Fluentd server
# Address of elasticsearch used by fluentd
es_fqdn: localhost
es_port: 9200
# If this machine should forward to Elasticsearch
forward_to_es: True
# Curator tool
install_curator: True
curator_max_keep_days: 90
# Head plugin
install_head: True
# ElasticHQ plugin
install_eshq: False
# Marvel plugin
install_marvel: True
## Kibana
# URL address to reach kibana
dns_url_kibana: kibana.domain.com
# Folder to store Kibana
kibana_path: /usr/share/nginx/www/kibana
# Kibana version from GitHub tag
kibana_tag_version: v3.1.0
## Elasticsearch
# Elasticsearch version from debian repository
es_version: 1.3
Then launch the Ansible playbook, it will install everything by itself:
$ ansible-playbook site.yml
At the end, the web interface of kibana will be ready and all your fluentd clients will redirect their syslog and default nginx configuration to ElasticSearch.
Note: I've used my Nginx playbook, but you can use any other one to setup kibana interface as this is made in AngularJS.

THE BIGGEST CROCODILE IN THE WORLD (Savannah Way 6)
12 comments:
if we eat outside here this time of year we flick off flies, gnats and mosquitoes. that waterfall is spectacular. the crock is prehistoric material as in sci fi movies. wow.... she was a brave lady, i would have been running the other way.. we have crocs here but not that size.. i like the shot of the silt in the water...ReplyDelete
This has been quite a trip and I enjoyed it vicariously (catching up on all posts I missed while we were traveling -- far less adventurously). You were lucky to see that waterfall -- what a great bonus. Whew -- that croc was amazing. We have alligators in Florida which can be dangerous enough, although I like seeing them in all their prehistoric glory!ReplyDelete
Wow that alligator looks like a monster!! Glad y'all got to see the waterfalls flowing still..ReplyDelete
The "croc" has lovely teeth - ha ha.ReplyDelete
What a monster.
That is interesting - the introduction of American Long Horn
Cattle. I would have thought the extended horns like on the one
shown would be a hindrance in the mulga areas of the north.
Maybe this breed has a tick resistance??? However, I think de-horning
would be very advisable.
Great report and photos from the FNQ region on the Gulf and Normanton.
Oh how I would love a holiday there and take a photo with that croc maybe one day who knows only time will tellReplyDelete
Nice to see these remote areas. That croc is huge indeed.ReplyDelete
Hello Diane, I like the cute bank building. That croc is a big one, it was shot by a woman? Krystina sounds like a woman's name. The waterfalls is pretty, so glad there was water. Great series from your trip. Enjoy your day and the weekend ahead!ReplyDelete
wow Diane your country is really amazing place. i thinki Krystine Powlowski had Polish roots because her surname sounds PolishReplyDelete
What on earth was the croc shot with? It would need a pretty powerful rifle and a superb shot to stop that!ReplyDelete
I think a model of the croc is the only one I would want to see. Good job your transport can cope with all the water that's around.ReplyDelete
Can't imagine a coc that big. The eight foot alligators are terrifying enough around here, terrifying enough to send me straight to the safety of the car. It's neat that you were fortunate enough to see water coming over the falls as it was quite pretty.ReplyDelete
I love waterfalls.ReplyDelete

"Empire Builder," Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann
5 May 2016 – 12 Jun 2016
Event times
Monday-Friday: 11am-7pm
Saturday: 12-7 pm

Cost of entry
Gallery nine 5 is pleased to announce Empire Builder, the second solo exhibition of Washington D.C. based artist Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann, from May 5th – June 12th, 2016.
Gallery nine 5 is pleased to announce Empire Builder, the second solo exhibition of Washington D.C. based artist Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann, from May 5th – June 12th, 2016.
Referring to Chinese burial murals, maps, science fiction, and satellite imagery, Mann creates enveloping abstract landscapes that vacillate between the contingency of the natural world and highly detailed, controlled drawing. She begins each painting with the chance procedure of pouring puddles of ink and water, and builds off this foundation with drawing, printmaking, collage, and weaving to create her pieces. From these initial ink and water stains, her pieces grow sensuously and limitlessly—explorations of what a fantastical space can be.
Walking through the exhibition, the viewer feels like she is entering a haven of both chaos and neurotic control, as Mann's paintings use both dramatic explosions of color and repetitive, mutated detail work to engage their audience. These paintings stand stark and impressive against the blank walls of the gallery. Their size and vibrancy intuitively mark these as landscape paintings, but each painting also engages with and questions the tropes of landscape.
Tremble, Trample, for example, a 5-panel, 30-foot long wallpaper-like painting, plays with imagery pulled from burial paintings in the Dunhuang Caves—a system of hundreds of temples and underground burial spaces spanning thousands of years of mural art in Western China. Like much of the imagery it references, the piece exists in a gray space between landscape painting and diagrammatic map-making. With this piece, Mann seems to directly address the visitor to immerse themselves beneath the deep blues and dynamic sweeps of the painting.
Another motif in Mann's work is layering and weaving. This includes the physical intertwining of multiple layers of paper within a piece, including found paper and cannibalized older paintings. In Dunhuang III, myriad shapes are woven together to create a stunning composite picture—at once awkwardly cobbled together and sensuously layered.
Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann received her Bachelor of Arts from Brown University and her Master of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art. She is the recipient of a Fulbright grant and the Keyholder Fellowship at the Lower East Side Printshop in New York. She has participated as an artist-in-residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, the Djerassi Resident Arts Program in Woodside, CA, and the Triangle Workshop in New York, among others. She has been awarded an Individual Artist Fellowship from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities and a Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship. Mann is currently an instructor at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
The artist has shown extensively in the Washington-Baltimore area, New York, California, and internationally in Zurich, London, Paris, Taiwan, Toronto, India, and Cameroon. Her work has been reviewed in many publications including the Washington Post, the Baltimore City Paper, and the Taipei Times.

Using blogging at school!
I read this blog post this morning and really enjoyed it. "Top 20 Do's and Don't's of Blogging". The focus was to the professional blogger and so some of the topics may not necessarily apply for student blogging. The other thing is that it contains a lot of don't's which sound a lot like rules and you know students (and teachers) when it comes to rules – they want to push to see how far they bend before they break. Inspired by this, I thought I would take a look at putting together a list of Do's specifically for schools. It's all positive!
DO – Follow the school's acceptable use policies for social media. This might include just using student first names and last initial or a particular tool. No problem. The goal is the writing after all.
DO – Use a graphic organizer to brainstorm thoughts before…

I was speaking to a student today about histograms and blown-out highlights. You know, the part of the image that is so bright that the sensor can not hold any information, aka "blown-out". As you know, your camera sensor can not record all of the dynamic range that your eye can see, and your brain can resolve. We can look at a scene and deal with bright contrast, highlights, and still see information in the shadows. Cameras, even really good ones can not do this as well as your eyes, and even you tricky folks out there who are fans of HDR, still must admit, it doesn't look the way a human sees it. Really. I'm not saying it is a look that is "bad"; although when over done it is – I'm saying it doesn't look the way a scene looks to me in real life. Don't quibble, this isn't the point I am making.
The point you ask? Talking about histograms and highlights, the student asked me, "is it ever ok to have blown out highlights in your image?". This is a great question, really. And the answer is simple. The answer is concise. The answer you have been patiently waiting for is, yes! Huh? Yes! It is in fact ok to have blown out highlights – if and only if you want that to happen. If it is a conscious choice, by you, the owner and operator of your.. ….wait, not your camera, but your creative vision!
Once you learn how to use your camera, and what your histogram means, you can then apply that knowledge to do what you are meant to do, which is create the image you want to create. When might you want to live with or even embrace blown out highlights? Here are a few times: specular highlights, open bright windows, light bulbs, a white canopy on a parade float, chrome bumpers – any time that you really don't need those pixels and decreasing your exposure to keep them in the shot would muddy up and degrade the rest of the shot.
In the portrait of the young man on the front of this post there are blown- out highlights, aka "blinkies", in his hair and along the edge of his hand. In the image below of the man with the hammer, there are blinkies around the windows, the edge of his glasses, top edge of the bouys. In the image of the baby eating sand, the sand and sky are blown out. Why? Because other elements in the photo took priority. In this case it was the over-all feel of the scene, it need to have the feeling of a sunny day at the beach – I purposely wanted the image to feel hot and be very bright. I also wanted the pale pink skin tones on the face preserved. Had I used my exposure compensation to keep the highlights within the histogram, and dynamic range of the sensor, the actual photograph I was trying to create would have suffered.
In the case of my daughter throwing snow, I don't mind the blown-out white snow, and had I pulled back my compensation, the entire image would have been murky and muddy. As for the ropers waiting to rope, the blown-out lights create a strong visual element and they don't need to be anything other than bright. Adjusting the exposure downward would have made the rest of the image to dark and dull. We are pretty happy to see and read white lights as blown out, it a convention we are all used to seeing and seem to accept.
The key to good photography is know when to change something and why. Think about the end product and what you are trying to capture. See, the great thing about photography is that once you understand a couple of basics, you can use that knowledge to not only take, but to actually create images you like.

One Punch Man Coming To Adult Swim (Video)
If you haven't watched the One Punch Man anime series yet because you are waiting for an English dubbed version then fear not because you're wait is almost over. One of the years most popular anime series is going to make it's English debut on Adult Swim in just a few short weeks. One punch man follows the quest of possibly the strongest man in the universe to be taken seriously as an actual hero. I have already watched the entire first season and it is filled with action, comedy, and some of the most unique characters in any anime series.
It was announced last weekend at Anime Expo that the One Punch man anime series will be making its American TV debut on Adult Swim during it's Toonami programming block. It's debut starts in just a few weeks on Saturday July 16th at midnight. I don't know about you guys but I think this is pretty cool and I look forward to watching the series again this time without having to do so much reading. Don't get me wrong, there are many things I love about watching the original Japanese version but sometimes I feel like I miss things about the animation when I'm busy reading subtitles.
Anyway check out the Toonami promo video for One Punch Man below and as always, let me know what you think Nerd Nation. Are you excited to see an English dubbed version of this anime series coming out so quickly and will you be watching it on Toonami when it debuts? Be sure to let me know what you think by leaving me your thoughts in a comment below, on the Facebook page, or hit me up on the Twitter page @Nerdgasmneeds.

Calculating the Benefits of Employee Wellness Programs
By Daniel J. Birach, president, Carolinas HealthCare System's HEALTHWORKS Division
With employer healthcare costs steadily on the rise, companies across the country are examining which steps can be taken to reduce expenses.
A handful of key choices — including addressing chronic health conditions among employees and providing access to optimal medical care resources — can have a substantial impact on an employer's bottom line without simply shifting the additional cost to employees.
Healthcare in the workplace is not just about premiums and encouraging employees to exercise. It is about arming employers with the tools and strategies to provide the best possible care to their employees.
Employers have to research and negotiate multiple plan options based on their fluctuating employee base, develop programs that address a wide variety of mental and physical challenges, and do so while addressing significant cost increases every year.
As employers address the root of rising healthcare costs, some employees will see changes to their company benefits package. These adjustments can mean a substantial savings for both the employer and employee.
Saving Dollars Makes Sense
There are financial benefits to addressing the source of employee health problems. These are a few examples of the savings found by employers who took a proactive approach to healthcare with HEALTHWORKS.
Passing Benefits to Employees
These types of cost-saving measures are a win-win for both employer and employee. While the business saves on expenses, employees get assistance addressing their own health issues in an efficient, personalized environment.
Build a Culture of Health
Employers need to help ensure their employees are engaged by building a culture of health with resources and communications that engage their workforce. Here are some way to engage your employees:

New TVR sports cars to be built in Wales
Reborn British sports car maker TVR to follow example of Aston Martin and build factory in Wales
TVR, the British brand famous for producing fragile but ferociously fast sports cars, will build its new generation of models in South Wales, creating 150 jobs.
The choice of location was made after the Welsh Government agreed to provide financial backing, and comes just weeks after Aston Martin announced plans to build a factory of its own in the principality.
The first new TVR in more than a decade is due to go on sale in 2017, and will be a front-engined, rear-wheel-drive two-seater with a traditional manual gearbox.
TVR is also promising Formula One-inspired ground-effect technology to help stick the car to the road through corners, while power will come from a naturally aspirated V8 that's being engineered by motorsport specialists Cosworth.
Businessman Les Edgar now owns TVR, and is developing the car in collaboration with Gordon Murray – most famous for his work on McLaren's 243mph F1 hypercar.
Edgar said: "We have a sports car project that has garnered global approval and excitement, and we are delighted that the Welsh government wish to become part of an exciting new era for TVR."
The Rt. Hon Carwyn Jones, First Minister of Wales, added: "This is yet another fantastic high profile investment for Wales and a great boost for our automotive sector.
"Today's news follows hot on the heels of the Aston Martin announcement and sends out a strong, clear message that Wales is the location of choice for advanced manufacturing."
Edgar has previously said that the new car's price will be "consistent with TVR's past market positioning", which suggests a starting point of about £50,000
TVR has already secured in excess of 350 deposits, and plans to introduce at least four new models within the next decade.
The company was founded in 1947. However, its most successful period came in the Nineties, under former chemical engineer Peter Wheeler, when it built models such as the Griffith, Chimaera and Cerbera.
Wheeler eventually sold up to Russian millionaire Nikolai Smolenski in 2004, but just two years later demand had fallen to such an extent that the factory was closed.
Smolenski retained ownership of the dormant brand until 2013, when it was purchased by Edgar.
Given the often troubled history of British sports car makers there is no guarantee that the revived TVR will be a success, but Edgar is bullish.
"We are a well-funded, well-supported organisation and boast a vastly experienced management team," he said. "We have a fully evolved 10-year plan for business and product development and are here to stay."

It's another 9 months on since I last updated my blog and this is due to having too many things to do, too little energy and coming down with too many colds and bugs, which wipe me out. It is scary as it is making ms worse but I am doing everything I can to try to boost my immune system and the rest I have to leave in the hands of fate!
Our beautiful boy!
Shortly after my last update I had an accident on my mobility scooter in town (trying
to dash to Argos to buys Marcus a really cool Shaun the Sheep, which bleats and vibrates.
I had Marcus on my lap and I took a curb/slope at the wrong angle in my haste and
next minute I found I had turned the scooter over and broken my right thumb. Marcus
was shaken but otherwise fine (as my right arm holds him pretty tight), and soon
recovered after being fed Jelly babies and hugged by a nice lady. Every one was brilliant!
A nurse passing by told me my thumb was broken (I was in shock and denial!) and an
ambulance was called which Marcus thought was very exciting. My mobility scooter
was taken to Shopmobility (thanks Shopmob!) and I ended up at the Northern General
hospital with no mobility to speak of, and only my left arm, which is my shaky arm
working to cope with Marcus. Thank God for nurses and the fact he is very cute. Steve
had been called (thankfully he was on his mobile for once!) and came to the hospital
to rescue me, well take Marcus off my one semi-
Marcus with Shaun the Sheep, he took some getting
but was worth it as he bleats when you press its nose and vibrates when you pull his tail!
I did manage a trip to town, however, a few days later to Argos to buy a Shaun the Sheep (pictured above), though it was scary on my scooter even without Marcus. I have become a far more careful and cautious scooter driver! The day after this I had an operation to set the thumb back into a better position as it was a nasty fracture. That was on the Wednesday and on the Sunday we flew out to Florida as arranged thank goodness!!! Steve was amazing in how he coped with both me and Marcus, as I wasn't much use in terms of helping to care for Marcus at that time and I needed looking after myself. I could have stayed in England until my cast came off as I couldn't swim anyway, but Steve didn't want that bless him!
Marcus shocked!
Better to be poorly in the sunshine he reckoned and he was right. We went in the second week of October and it was way too hot over there to swim at that time anyway, so I didn't miss out on swimming too much.

I depended on the air-

which we got from the Salvation Army for a few $'s.

Not coming down with colds and bugs like we do in England, was a break in itself believe me! As soon as my cast came off (5 weeks after the operation) I started swimming and though it wiped me out, it was very good for me!

Life over there is a lot easier with Steve being around all the time and without coming down with all the nasty bugs, colds and viruses.

We enjoyed time with our baby boy, good healthy home-

My good school-

Marcus enjoyed meeting Santa in K-

I tried Acupuncture with Dr Becky because I've always wanted to try it. The first session had an effect as I felt awful afterwards and was even sick, so acupuncture definitely has an effect! I had 5 sessions in total and I can't say I noticed it having much of a good effect (I am a challenging case) but there is definitely something to it!
Marcus and Daddy with a large Fantasy Fest necklace on!
In December, Tigga flew out to the Florida Keys with her gorgeous boyfriend, Ben, and they looked after Marcus while Steve and I went on a wonderful trip around Mexico, a belated Honeymoon trip! Mexico was wonderful. We went to Cancun, chichen itza (Mayan pyramids), Teotihuacan (Aztec pyramids), Mexico City and Acapulco.
Steve and I on Cancun beach where the breakers were amazing!

The Cliff-
look closely and spot the cliff-
For once it wasn't a trip with a mad schedule and many flights, thank goodness! We
enjoyed lovely hotels, beautiful beaches at Cancun and Acapulco and it was the perfect
Honeymoon. We enjoyed the beauty and serenity of the ancient pyramids and we took
a tour around Mexico City ending up at the zoo, which we visited as it was free to
get in! At Acapulco we saw the famous cliff divers as well! I then went for a massage
on the beach, which was heavenly and then I got my hair-
We got back to the Florida Keys late on December the 22nd and the next day when we got up we went to the pool in Venture Out to see our baby boy, Marcus, who was playing happily there with his Tigga and his Ben. The year before he had cried when he saw him again and panicked that Daddy was leaving again, but this time he simply said 'Hello'. He had had too much fun with Tigga and Ben to have noticed we'd gone really. He'd only knocked on our bedroom door twice while we were gone and that was just to play! I had felt a lot more relaxed about leaving him this year too. As Steve said to Marcus, 'Did you like your new Mum and Dad?'. 'There're a bit younger and faster that the old ones aren't they!'. Marcus got over his water phobia in the Florida Keys, so much so that he even waded into the sea on occasion with us!
Marcus with his Daddy and his Tigga in the sea at Key West beach.
On Xmas day we went to Bahia Hondo beach. Tigga was missing Ben as he had flown back to Sheffield for Xmas with his family (how loyal is that!) but apart from Ben being missing we had a great day. It doesn't really feel like Xmas though in all that sunshine (not that I expect any sympathy!).
Bahia Honda beach On New Year's Eve.
Tigga and I went parasailing, which was great fun and totally possible in spite of my disability! . You didn't really need your legs as I was carried onto the boat by two strong instructors and then carried onto the parasailing chair, strapped into harness/seat and then we were off and away! It was a bit daunting when the balloon we were strapped to at the back of the boat rose up into the air but exciting too.
Up and up we rose, laughing and screaming a little. The view of the beach and the sea was beautiful. I did feel as though I might fall out of the harness because my legs did tip a bit more forward than Tigga's due to my disability, but I knew in my rational mind that I was well strapped in and that this could not possibly happen, so I tried to relax and enjoy the ride. Tigga was there taking her arms off the straps and waving them around, far more daring than me. I only did that for a second or two! And then they decided on the boat to lower the balloon down and dunk us in the water. It was a little cold and we screamed but quite refreshing on the whole as it was a warm sunny day, New Year's Eve as it happens! Then up we rose into the sky again and enjoyed the rest of the glide! I was so glad that I did it. It was an experience not to be missed and good value for $40. Tigga was lucky enough to have a second go because one of the instructors fancied her, but once was more than enough for me!
So you don't need legs that work in order the parasail and I would recommend it to
anyone disabled or otherwise. It is safe, great fun, and a bit scary but not too
scary! Having myself done skydiving, abseiling and hand-
After this we enjoyed seeing the sunset at Mallory Square off Duval Street in Key West.

Then we spent New Year with friends on our sun-
Tigga and Marcus with an alligator!
We spent a few days up there and on the first day we swam with the Manatees, up at Crystal River, in the wild. This was an awesome experience! Manatees are beautiful, gentle, massive creatures, the elephants of the sea, and snorkelling with them and seeing them up close underwater was simply amazing!

Marcus stayed on the boat with a life-
As if this experience wasn't enough, that evening we spent at the Epcot Centre, where there are restaurants a plenty from many different countries of the world all around a lake. We ended up having fish and chips sat outside the English pub (in which the sign for the toilets says 'Restrooms' by the way!
The firework display on the lake has to be seen to be believed. With a massive, lit-
We spent the day after in sea-

We also went on the incredible hulk roller coaster, to my horror and Tigga's joy! (I had to go on it so Tigga didn't have to queue up but to be honest I wanted to anyway, but I didn't go on twice like Tigga the crazy girl!).
This photo says it all about my life! It's excruciating at times but I always do
it and am living life to the full! Tigga also had her hair-
Marcus with a 'Yeyow!' (Squirrel) at Seaworld!
The next day we went to Universal Studios and enjoyed various shows as well as the

The nest day we flew back from Orlando to Manchester, back to a very cold and rainy Sheffield! In 2008 I have been focused on trying to build up my immune system, and so far not very successfully in spite of all my efforts, but I AM DETERMINED TO RIDE THROUGH THE STORM OF BUGS AND COLDS AND SURVIVE WITHOUT MS GETTING ANY WORSE! I am now taking the drug Low Dose Naltrexone once again, which boosts the immune system so this should help me!
I am also having regular Reflexology, which too should help and I love it anyway
(thanks Cecile!), as well as Colonic Irrigation, which should also help! Finally
I am having wheat-

Marcus with his playmates the twins
Routine can be somewhat lacking at home, because of my special diet but I have learnt
to LET GO a lot of how I feel things should be done. Because we don't live in a ideal
world, and yet Marcus is fine, happy, loved and a lucky little boy. He is a bit of
a grazer when eating but this is quite normal for a two year old, and he does know
what he is doing. He won't over-
Marcus wearing a woolly hat at Grandma and Grandad's where he spends 1 day a week!
I believe that if the worst things in Marcus's life are watching a little too much Television than he possibly should, and being a little slower than most with the toilet training, then so be it. There are far worse things in life. And he learns a vast amount for kiddies tv anyway. When he says something new, I often wonder where he learnt that new phrase and then I hear it on one of his videos, and realize! His absolute favourite at the moment is Noddy, and his other favourites are Barney, Bob the Builder, Sean the Sheep, the Fimbles and Kipper the dog. He still likes the Teletubbies too though. He can count to10 (though he often forgets 6) and loves the alphabet too (we have many magnetic letters and numbers on the fridge, as well as alphabet and numbers jigsaws at Grandma and Grandad's, which is very quick at doing now!).
Marcus with his jigsaws.
Marcus is really starting to put words together now too, and he said his first sentence
the other morning as well 'I want to open the door!' (and he really did want to!).
Recently we celebrated his Grandad's 80th Birthday, which was quite an occasion!
We joined Dad at his church and then Steve cooked a lovely meal, a ricenoodle stir-

Marcus is out right now with three 19 year old student nurses, as Tigga is back in Sheffield, his No.1 Babysitter, having finished her nursing placement at Leeds Uni (and they work student nurses so hard it is insane!), so he is a very lucky and socialized little boy! Tigga is still devoted to him and sees him every chance she gets.
When Geraldine goes on holiday, I am still spoilt with childcare options as a lady
called Noor, whose sister used to live next door, does child-
I don't take Marcus to town now unless I am meeting someone there, like my good friend,
Henry, who is now 12 and a half and very good at chasing Marcus! Since I broke my
thumb, I have realized it is just too much for me to handle Marcus alone as he is
so heavy now and he also finds it hilarious to run off, so I have to be very careful
now. I only take him short-
Physically I am worse as my left arm and hand have become very shaky, the vision in my left eye is a bit bleary, and my mobility is close to zero, but considering what I am up against, it is not too surprising and once all the bugs and colds subside, I am hoping I will improve once again.
Anyway, I don't complain (though I could), because I know what a good life I have, and how lucky I am, so I focus on that!
The other thing that is happening is that we are buying the house next door, as an
investment and to rent out. It just feels right to do this and the opportunity has
arisen so we are doing it. Sometimes I don't know why it is right to do something,
but I know it is right and the reason becomes apparent later. A good example would
be moving to this place from a perfectly good council bungalow, and coming off benefits.
But now with Marcus coming along I just thank God I did. By taking the plunge and
paying my taxes, I now qualify for incapacity benefit should I need it, and this
has enabled me to marry Steve. On income support for incapacity marriage would have
meant I would have lost all my income support, as it is a means-
Marcus has at long last really bonded with me, because we do lovely things together. I love it when he yells 'Mummy!' from the other room very loudly, commanding me to come and see him, though it can be very tiring! He is a beautiful and very bright little boy and he is at a beautiful age so we are enjoying him, though not always of course, because he is two and a half and forever testing the boundaries.
Marcus asleep on Scooby Doo!
He doesn't get away with much, however, as Steve is very firm in laying down the
boundaries, and I think this has helped us is escaping the 'terrible twos'. I have

Kyiv – the capital of the Ukraine
Following independence of Ukraine on August 24, 1991 Kyiv gained a new status – capital of a great European country.
Kyiv today
During the first years of independence, Ukraine has experienced a severe economic crisis, these processes have not omitted Kyiv: a significant part of the city stopped its work, and people lost their livelihoods. But slowly the capital, together with all the state, began to emerge from the crisis and Kyiv came on the path of dynamic development. Revitalization became the sign of improving economic conditions: the late 90th Kyiv was experiencing a construction boom, many expensive cars and shops of prestigious brands appeared in the streets. Today, the most dynamic industries Kyiv are: food, printing, construction industry, mechanical engineering. Kyiv hosts industrial giants, known far beyond Ukraine, first among them is, of course, the plant "Antonov".
The sign of the growing authority of Kyiv and Ukraine's role in the international arena was the important economic, cultural and public forums, including Eurovision (2005), Championships in various sports and, of course, Euro 2012 the final of which will take place in the capital of Ukraine.

Reading the industry trade magazines one might think you need a rocket scientist to run a chain restaurant today or understand to understand their market positioning. The simple fact is the old adage KISS (keep it simple stupid) works and works well. Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions® Grocerant Guru® Steven Johnson as regular readers of this blog know says give customers what they want at a price that's fare and you will have ongoing top line sales and bottom line growth.
Olive Garden's same-store sales increased 4.4 percent in the fourth quarter ended May 28, parent company Darden Restaurants Inc. said on last week. It was the 11th consecutive positive quarter for the casual-dining Italian chain, and arguably its best. Darden CEO Gene Lee clearly believes in KISS.
Leveraging Price has had its benefits for Olive Garden according to our own Grocerant Guru® including attracting the highly coveted Millennials consumers. Lee stated "We made the strategic choice to underprice to inflation, so we're underpricing our competitors,"… "We have some large competitors out there donating significant share,"… ""We have a more compelling offer."
Lee continued "Contrary to popular belief, Millennials still like going to restaurants," … "Millennials still want to come to casual dining. Thirty percent of our guests are Millennials, compared to 24 percent of the overall population. So we over-index with Millennials."
Darden has also simplified operations. Simplifying has helped improve service at the store and made the chains more desirable for consumers. LongHorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden started simplifying their operations three years ago according to Lee.
"Don't underestimate how simplifying the business helped us improve execution," Lee said. "That's been key to guest count growth. Better execution through simplicity." Foodservice retailers must understand that the price, value, service equilibrium has to be in balance or your bottom line bounce! Are you giving consumers what they want or what your want?
