Catawba College Presents "An Evening of Magical Song" April 16-18th
April 3, 2009
Families and kids of all ages will enjoy Catawba College's "An Evening of Magical Song" at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, April 16-18 in Keppel Auditorium on campus. The production is a collaboration between the Departments of Theatre Arts and Music.
Enjoy an evening of Disney favorites, including classic Disney songs from "Mary Poppins," "Pete's Dragon," "Snow White," and more contemporary favorites like "The Lion King," "Beauty and the Beast," "The Little Mermaid," "Tarzan," and "Hercules." This musical extravaganza is fully costumed, with choreography and staging by Theatre Arts Professor Missy Barnes and musical direction by Music Professor Paul E. Oakley.
"Working with such a large group of people to create this production has been an exciting experience. Many Catawba students, faculty, and staff members have devoted significant amounts of time to design and create our production. In addition to the many who are constructing the physical elements, it has been gratifying to work with students from a variety of academic disciplines throughout the rehearsal process," explained Theatre Arts Professor Missy Barnes.
Music Professor Paul E. Oakley said of the extravaganza, "The genius of Walt Disney has inspired many composers to create some of the most beloved songs in American popular music history. From generation to generation the songs from Disney movies and musicals are sung in families. Catawba College is using the format of a 1960s television variety show to present an evening of song and dance based on the music of great Disney favorites. We are offering an evening of these most popular tunes with elegant staging, beautiful costumes and stunning choreography. Catawba's auditioned concert choir, The Catawba Singers, will be featured in the concert which includes the Catawba Madrigal Ensemble and the Catawba Children's Chorus.
"From the high energy of "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" and "Be Our Guest" to the quiet beauty of "Candle on the Water" and "Circle of Life," the program includes music for the child in all of us, and for children of all ages. Families can come to Keppel Auditorium for an evening of splendid entertainment that will delight the youngest and eldest member of the family," Oakley continued. "Our goal is to sell-out Keppel Auditorium three times for this dynamic performance. It would be wise to order you tickets today!"

Camping in Scotland
Hi, me and my friend want to go to Scotland next summer. We want to explore as much as possible. Our plan is to travel with a backpack and sleeping in a tent whenever it's necessary. My question is, can we build a tent anywhere we want or do we need to be in a camp? I mean is there some sort of patrol which can give us fine for camping anywhere we want?! I hope you get my point :-) Thanks

Hi, you can't just camp wherever you want. The best advice I can give you is to contact the Tourist Boards as Scotland is bigger than you probably think. It is a beautiful country. I am from Scotland but now live in Western Australia. Hope this helps and you have a great holiday. about 8 years agoAnswered by Janette McAvennie via WorldNomads.com

The Netherlands, more commonly referred to as Holland, resides northwest of Germany in Europe and boasts a population that nearly doubles that of New York City. The national motto translated to English means, "I will hold firm." A less refined translation is stubborn. And that is precisely what Remco Postma from Amsterdam, Netherlands, is; stubborn. He chose to build a USDM-spec hatchback with the majority of his parts coming from companies located in the United States and Japan in order to break from the mold of local builds.
Remco purchased a number of USDM parts and accessories for his previous Civic with the mind-set of "why not start off USDM?" His plans for his EJ6, purchased from a local shop, weren't very complex. Basics like suspension and fresh paint were in order, but many discussions occurred about the possibilities on popular Honda forums. Dreams of high-revving, neck-breaking activities would eventually become reality, and to get things underway, Remco crafted a parts list. In a short period of time he was staring at what would consume him and $35,000 over the next year. Limited parts availability and unreal shipping fees to the Netherlands contributed to a high total build cost.
This car proved to be quite the learning tool as Remco had installed bolt-on goods in the past, but never performed any complicated installations. He states that much of the information needed to complete each process was just a click away. "A lot of what I needed to do, I found online." From computer screen to garage was the norm as Remco chipped away at various parts of his build. Rather than buying a complete harness, he modified his existing one with help from the web, then proceeded to tuck his brakes lines and other wires as well. Various portions of the engine bay were shaved and smoothed for a cleaner overall look.
Of course, not everything could be done in his garage, and some needs were outsourced. A good friend painted everything, and the exterior was given ample amounts of Roma Red. Many suspension parts were powdercoated white for contrast, and various items in the engine bay were paint matched as well. Sneaky Tuning performed some of the engine modifications and crucial tuning, while Lex Creations satisfied custom fabrication duties like the one-off breather tank. The rest of the build was completed at home, in Remco's home garage.
At one point the project stalled and almost died as the hatch moved into its final stages. With only a few minor parts needed, months had passed and the total wait time for these parts was nearing a year. Like any enthusiast would, Remco grew frustrated and impatient. He decided he was going to part out the Civic and start over. That is when Lex from Lex Creations became involved, offering to custom fabricate whatever was needed to complete the build. Essentially, friends gathered and motivated Remco to continue because they wanted to see the current EJ6 through to completion.
No build is as smooth as butter, and hiccups often occur. For example, after tucking the brake hard lines a leak behind the subframe showed up. The next phase was engine tuning, and the leak issue needed to be fixed quickly. Two words come to mind when Remco recalls seeing the brake fluid dripping on the garage concrete: "It sucked!" The subframe was removed, and the culprit was a damaged AN fitting. Beyond the setbacks, the engine fired up on its first attempt, a significant accomplishment for someone with limited automotive experience. Although the prices are steep, Remco prides himself on purchasing authentic parts. "There are a lot of knock-off parts around here. The shops are known for selling fake parts, etc.," he explains. Two aspects that specifically stand out to Remco are his Bisimoto exhaust manifold and the extensive use of Mugen license plate bolts throughout the vehicle. To Remco's knowledge, there are only a few Bisimoto exhaust manifolds in the Netherlands. "Every time I open the hood, that part gets a lot of attention. The style, the performance, I just love it." Again, authenticity is the reason he likes his Mugen license plate frame bolts, and he didn't bother with cutting corners. "I bought 24 packs of them," he laughs.
What makes this story even more compelling is that the build did not have an agenda. There was no desire for celebrity or fame, and Remco never thought his car would get as much as attention as it has. Public awareness was limited throughout the build. In fact, only a handful of friends even knew the project existed. For some, the story may not add up here. Remco dropped major coin on a foreign car outfitted with authentic foreign parts, but why? The answer is simple, he built this car for himself.

Fabricating is to adults as Legos are to children. Beginning with an idea, then brainstorming, and eventually manipulating raw material to turn intangible into tangible. Lex Heijne of Lex Creations based in the Netherlands thinks there is no better feeling than experiencing a project when it comes to life. Lex began his welding career as a pipe fitter 17 years prior. He enjoys creating antiroll bars, rollcages, and finds sheet metal challenging.
"For those starting out, make sure to get a good welder. Second-hand will do just fine, but get a good brand where you are sure parts will be around for a bit. Then practice, practice, and then practice some more. The only way you learn how to weld is by doing it." If you are into welding, starting a career, or have a question, email Lex at email@example.com.

"The farther we've gotten from the magic and mystery of our past, the more we've come to need Halloween." ~Paula Guran
My front porch, Halloween 2017 / Cindy La Ferle
Happy Halloween! To help get you in the mood this week, I'm sharing a link to an essay I wrote for Read the Spirit.* My piece touches on the ancient Celtic roots and traditions of Halloween, and is the magazine's cover story this week.
My essay aside, you're in for a treat when you visit Read the Spirit. As founder and editor David Crumm explains it, the magazine and publishing company are built on a "network of writers connecting readers with the most important voices in religion, spiritual, interfaith and cross-cultural issues." Whether you're interested in exploring books and films with a spiritual focus or learning something new about a different religion, you'll find it all on Read the Spirit.
A longtime colleague and friend of mine, David has won numerous awards for his journalism and is known nationwide to professionals who cover the impact of religion and cross-cultural issues on our world today. Detroit-area readers will remember David's outstanding work as the religion editor and columnist for the Detroit Free Press.
Happy reading and happy haunting to all! ~CL

At a press conference in Spain, Deadpool himself Ryan Reynolds and Cable actor Josh Brolin offered some insight into Deadpool 2. When one reporter asked if the Merc with the Mouth would be the big screen's first queer superhero, Reynolds replied that the character's sexuality is "somewhat fluid."
"I think Deadpool's sort of somewhat fluid. You know, Deadpool's a guy that there's a lot of room in that," Reynolds said. "He's in love with Vanessa. Vanessa's the love of his life and that's a key part of our story and that's the bedrock of everything that happens to Deadpool."

The actor also acknowledged the character's flirtation on screen and on page with people (and unicorns) of all genders. "You see he sort of exhibits these qualities throughout the course of each film. He's a guy that's sort of unpredictable," he added.

Deadpool's sexuality has become more debated as the character continues to gain popularity. Reynolds has previously expressed interest in portraying a more overtly pansexual Deadpool, and Deadpool 2 director David Liech said that "everything in the world of Deadpool is possible" when presented with a similar question.
Directed by David Leitch, Deadpool 2 features Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Leslie Uggams as Blind Al, Stefan Kapičić as the voice of Colossus, and Karan Soni as Dopinder, with newcomers Zazie Beetz as Domino, Josh Brolin as Cable, Julian Dennison as Russell and Jack Kesy as Black Tom Cassidy. The film arrives Friday in theaters nationwide.

After a week full of market volatility and upheaval, analysts from all sides are questioning what impact, if any, the events of the week are going to have on the Federal Open Markets Committee and the looming threat of rising interest rates.
As of now, uniform consensus is woefully lacking.
Earlier this week, New York Federal Reserve President William Dudley put the kibosh on any talk that the Fed may increase interest rates after next month's meeting of the FOMC.
According to a Reuters report, Dudley said that the possibility of a September rate hike is now "less compelling" after the events of this week.
But those comments were in opposition to comments made Friday by two other Fed Presidents.
According to a Bloomberg report, Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester said that the economy "can sustain" an increase in interest rates, while and St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said that one week's market volatility should not affect an interest rate increase.
Fed presidents aren't the only ones that apparently disagree on when interest rates are going to rise.
In a Friday note to clients, analysts from Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAC) still believe the Fed is likely to raise rates in September.
In BofAML's Securitization Weekly Overview, analysts Chris Flanagan and Mao Ding write that the BofAML house view is that the events of the last few days have not affected the likelihood that the Fed raises rates after the next meeting of the FOMC.
"The BofAML house view is that in spite of the market volatility of the past week, the most likely outcome is that the Fed will hike in September, even if there is some path dependency associated with the decision," Flanagan and Ding write.
"In our view, the most likely near term path for risk asset prices is to the upside," they continued. "If realized, this outcome should increase the chances of a September hike, which in turn is not likely to be viewed favorably by risk assets."
The analysts write that the lesson to be learned based on this week is that "the Fed has acknowledged the need to respect market weakness in making its decision."
The BofAML analysts suggest that Dudley's comments show that the Fed has "tacitly acknowledged" that the week's "market downside" is unacceptable, and posit that if the events of earlier this week are repeated, the Fed will back off the potential September hike.
"However, while that may be good news, the possibility that the Fed could still hike in September tells us that the upside is also limited," the analysts write.
"Indeed, as equity markets rose further on Thursday, the market-implied probability of a September hike increased from 22% to 28%," they continued. "Further gains in risk assets likely will be accompanied by further gains in rate hike probabilities, which should ultimately constrain the gains in risk assets."
Despite the BofAML house prediction that interest rates are still likely to rise next month, Flanagan and Ding peg the likelihood of an increase at closer to "50-50."
Analysts at Capital Economics also shared their reaction to the events of the week, telling clients that the "dithering Fed" is still waiting for the perfect conditions.
"We are now assuming that, even if the rally in global stock markets continues, some Fed officials will still want to hold off on raising interest rates until October or even December," the Capital Economics analysts write.
"A September rate hike isn't out of the question. But New York Fed President William Dudley's comment last week that that case for a September rate hike was 'less compelling' than before was presumably a carefully crafted message," they continue. "So until we hear otherwise, we have to assume that lift-off has been delayed yet again."
The Capital Economics analysts write that an increase in interest rates is inevitable, regardless of when it actually happens.
"We're still convinced that core inflation will soon begin to accelerate," the Capital Economics analysts write. "When that happens, the Fed won't be able to use any more excuses and, given how long it has dithered this year, we still believe that interest rates will end up rising much more rapidly next year than others expect, with the fed funds rate finishing 2016 at more than 2%."

Expert Panel, Forbes Agency Council
Successful PR, media strategy, creative and advertising executives from Forbes Agency Council share trends and tips.
Because a lot of mobile video content is watched on mute, marketers now need to focus on creating highly engaging visual content that hooks a viewer without the aid of sound. Below, nine Forbes Agency Council members explain how to do it.
1. Use Movement That Counters The Direction The User Is Scrolling
One great way to grab someone's attention is to start your video with a physical or animated camera move that counters the direction the user is scrolling. This creates a compelling optical illusion that draws the eye in. To enhance this effect, use color, pattern, typography and a strong color palette or gesture that focuses the eye toward the middle of the frame. - Darryl Mascarenhas, LivelyGroup
2. Create Personalized Dynamic Ads
Personalized dynamic ads reach your customers in real-time. Such ad creatives speak to your customers with pinpoint accuracy to the right people at the right times. The video and audio elements to the ads are a secondary benefit after the potential customer has been visually enticed and reminded of what they were previously researching and "window shopping" for. - Timothy Nichols, ExactDrive, Inc
3. Keep It Simple
Our video production team believes that the critical key is to keep it simple. With video, less can be more. A video should show all the features of the product and give the potential buyer a better understanding of how they can experience the product after purchase. Simple additions to videos, such as a rotation of a 360-degree view of the product, could go a long way. - Greg Lee, DRUM Agency
4. Treat The Video Like A 10-Second Pitch
This is the ultimate 10-second pitch. How does your product impact, simplify and add value to the customers' day-to-day life? How is it different? How is better? Answer these questions in a visually stunning way while highlighting the best aspects of your product. Remember, if a prospect is on Amazon, they're already in "buying mode." You just need to give them a reason to buy yours. - Bernard May, National Positions
5. Use Sound As An Added Layer
The tactic Zappos uses for videos is terrific -- they're well-produced but not a sales pitch, just a model/spokesperson walking in the shoes and pointing out details in the product. You don't need sound to get the message, but if you do listen, you get an added layer of detail. - Brian Sullivan, Sullivan Branding
6. Tell A Concise Story
When creating videos without sound, it's important to tell a concise story with the message clear in the first few seconds. Make your branding prominent by including your logo at the beginning of the video, and continue to showcase it throughout the spot. Focus on bright colors and eye-catching movements that capture attention, not on storylines and narratives that will be lost without audio. - David Shadpour, Social Native
7. Focus On The First Three Seconds
Short video with no audio is the hallmark of Instagram, Facebook and now programmatic, and even Amazon is testing it. The key is to intrigue users in the first two to three seconds to choose to watch what comes next. This takes a tiny plot hook, visuals that jump out, and generally some on-screen text to help create audio in the user's head. You'll also need a bunch of testing to figure out what works. - Michael Mothner, Wpromote
8. Choose Powerful Imagery
Your first shot should be dramatic and your image inspiring and larger than life. A still shot of a product sitting on a white space won't work. A woman dancing in flowing red silk will immediately grab the eye. Use powerful motifs, color and imagery to grab attention and keep it. - Brandon Stapper, Nonstop Signs
9. Include Closed Captions
You can look at YouTube and see that they are now using captions in the feed. Facebook is also doing this now. You can also check multiple videos before selecting which one you would like to watch, just by reading while it auto-plays. I would imagine they found it very effective in beta before adding this feature. It makes it easy to see what a video is about. - David Kley, Web Design and Company

There are so many wonderful things happening at Southwest High School, and this school year, the Positive School Wide Engagement team wants to recognize our hard work and commitment to our jobs and learning. Each week, one staff member will be highlighted in our Staff Spotlight section. When chosen, that staff member gets to choose a student for our Student Spotlight. Be sure to congratulate our staff and student of the week when you see them around! Let's acknowledge the hard work we do!
Dan Ferris, originally from Los Angeles, attended the University of Minnesota and received degrees in English, Education, Speech and Journalism. He has had a million jobs, by his estimate, but it was his time working as both a journalist and substitute teacher that led to his career in education. "Teaching was rampant in both sides of my family," Dan explained, suggesting a genetic predisposition for his love of the profession that has led to a twenty-six-year career working in schools. As a student, he was a high achiever but not necessarily a rule follower. He describes a tendency towards critical thinking rather than blind obedience as characterizing his own time in high school and years as an adult.
In his free time, Dan likes to stay active and travel. Some of his favorite activities include kayaking, biking, and, more than anything, journeying with his amazing wife, Kristi, and their adorable pug Sammy. As for travel, he has been to many of the continents, but treasures the Island of St. Thomas as one of his favorite spots (he actually worked as a teacher there). Despite traveling a great deal, he has not yet visited Asia and would like to do so in the future, specifically India and Nepal.
Teaching is still a enthralling experience for Dan, filled with challenges, surprises, and rewards. The biggest challenge, besides having to function as a quasi-effective adult, are completing the avalanche of letters of recommendation, scholarship letters, etc. Dan finds this rewarding, but completely exhausting. As Dan says "It is hard to say no to such a terrific bunch of students, but I am working on it. Something tells me that saying "no" will not be a prominent part of my vocabulary."

To commemorate Woman's Day China Cultural Centre is presenting 'Face to Face: A Dialogue between Suruya and Grace Cassar'. The inauguration on Wednesday 8th March 2017 is being held in the art gallery at the China Cultural Centre at 173, Melita Street, Valletta. The exhibition opens to the public from the 9th to 23rd March 2017.
'Life encounters two people: one's days are fraught with exciting adventures the other's years pass in peaceful tranquillity'. Suruya sums up her artistic expression with this poetic verse. Perhaps it means that her art hovers between sensuality of feeling, emotion and sentiment and the sublime. I was visibly impressed with 'Fragrant 3' (no. 16) that immediately brought to mind an image from Botticelli's elongated beauties or a whiff of the mythical and modern Modigliani (1884-1920). The distortion or elongation of form transforms reality into an enigmatic spiritual essence, a deconstruction that distils matter into pure energy. In fact Botticelli (c.1445-1510) an early Renaissance artist was still very Gothic in concept in the sense that the human image was so unreal that it is called inane: beautiful as an idea or ideal.
The beauty of this stylized 'portrait' with exquisite jewellery and a tapering coiffeur is overwhelming. It seems that one is looking at the sitter's soul and not her face. Naturally its beauty does not stem from a physical or tangible beauty but from its ideal properties. And although there is great balance and unity in its composition; a compatibility between the abstract and concrete like harmonic music yet the abstract qualities are predominant and its parts are more important than the whole as if it has no point of reference. Her embroidered elaborate costume in dark black intrigues the viewer as much as the calligraphic hairstyle and the meticulous jewellery but the face with half-closed eyes is incredibly expressive, an oriental Venus.
Suruya's work is graphic, calligraphic, arabesque with flowing line and rhythmic pattern of repeated modules such as the hair painted unrealistically one by one. What the eye does not see the mind knows that it is there and the hand depicts. As the artist's expression is about aesthetic imagery the result of a subjective creation of the mind. Her art reflects her inner thoughts, desires and conveys her subjective consciousness. It is autobiographical. Her images are not material but feelings, emotions and sentiments.
In two particular works: 'Mongolian Women 6' (no. 8) and 'Mongolian Women 12' (no.14) one is struck with the affinity these instil with Ancient Egyptian art as to importance given to outline which in scientific terms does not exist but that the mind concocts. In no.14 the sharp outline seems engraved or etched and the profile with one eye lacks only another eye to become Egyptian art. Ancient Egyptian art was influenced by Persian, Assyrian and Babylonian art and oriental in essence the result of a culture exchange. As in Islamic calligraphy Suruya finds human hair ideal to feast in graphic details, in serpentine patterns like woven fabric.
In no.8 the two heads, one in profile, the other lost might seem flat but to the trained eye, that in the foreground is volumetric as in Giotto (1266-1337) though ethereal not material. 'Mongolian Women 8' (no 10) is in sharp contrast. The sublimation of emotion melts and is transformed into an expressive face and body language. The woman is wide eyed, open-mouthed with surprise and is so excited with clasped fingers trying to hold back her emotions. She is wearing an embroidered costume and lovely jewellery. A butterfly is landing on her shoulder. Perhaps the butterfly symbolises joy.
In Fragrant 1 (no.1) the artist focuses on costume. The costume is the subject, not woman but perhaps in such embroidered clothes the lady looks and smells like a blossom hence the fragrance. The costume with red on black and orange on blue is an excuse to revel in the abstract beauty of pure colour or its symbolism. The work does not need a subject as the artist expresses her joy at a sentient world. Colour is pure emotion and as Kandinsky says it is music. With the sitter's hair pulled back ending in a knotted bun Suruya implies that graphic design in basic shapes in an abstract geometric expression is absolutely and not relatively beautiful.
The artist demonstrates that the subject is not important in a composition. In three works (nos. 12, 17 & 18) the portrait loses its face and the head and hair or coiffeur is depicted from the back. The hairstyle is an excuse to practise arabesque and calligraphy. The exercise shows how vital ritual and ceremony is for Mongolian women. It seems a symbol of status as in the case of costume. In the portrait photo of the artist the importance of the costume in damask or brocade is explicit as it fills the background space in its exquisite and meticulous detail.
As in Gothic art the subjective imagery in her work instead of receding into the background advances or projects into the viewer's space. Space almost disappears as it is filled completely by her imagery. Abstraction dominates and the ideal or the spirit revels over matter. The concept triumphs over the physical counterpart and she reaches towards an indefinite dimension on a flat surface where 'more is implied than is expressed, where more is hidden than shown, where visibility though vivid is veiled, where the expanse of the undetermined void extends imaginative space'. Her imagination and fantasy project more than meets the eye. It is a lyrical and poetic journey of feeling, emotion and sentiment from deep inside her to be shared with those who care.
Her work is imbued with the spirit, with the force within. It is lyrical and poetic but forceful and bold.
'People of the World' is a collection of portraits representing different nations and ethnic groups created by Grace Cassar inspired by the love for people with different characteristics the result of acute observation and research of physiognomy and costume. The exercise that started two years ago was not intended to be exhibited at any particular venue until she was approached by the China Cultural Centre to participate in Woman's Day in a dialogue with Suruya. Grace started practising portraiture empirically choosing near relatives to pose for her. But later with the help of relevant short courses abroad (such as the recent master classes under Roger Gill she attended at St. Martin's College London) she became more resolute and ambitious to add to her gallery of portraits.
The artist captures the innocence and softness of the Russian woman framed by a tiara, the delicate facial features and velvety skin of the Chinese, the frontal charming immobility of the Japanese, the almost virulent look of the Englishman and the sinister intentions of the Moroccan with a skull cap. The tender and youthful expression of the Eskimo girl is in high contrast with the bearded heavy look of the 'Homeless' and the dignified Afghan elder.
The spontaneity, immediacy and crisp
rendering in saturated wet on wet watercolour transparency of the Eskimo girl,
the few squiggles in the scarf or blouse of the Chinese woman and the light
falling on her silken hair, the sense of mystery or enigma or even
incomprehension in the Japanese girl, the white enamel eyes of the Indian woman
and the avid spiritual search in the poised look in the profile of the Afro
American demonstrate the artist's sensibility and sensitivity.
A collection that emanates a deep sense of sensitivity and sensibility, passion and intensity, a sense of great observation and reflection but above all a human touch: romantic, expressive, warm and felt. Her expression is a paean to the language or expression of physiognomy: facial and eye language in a lyrical and poetic language.

Nook was quite hard to find. Not only is it in an ordinary looking strip mall, it is also in the back corner of said mall. And while the website boasts a red arrow, the actual place is marked by a big blue arrow (that does not say Nook). After walking round and round I finally found the place.
The restaurant was not too crowded or loud - it is a good place to have a nice dinner and actually have conversation! Plus free parking.
Instead of bread or amuse bouche, Nook does something different: boiled peanuts. Not very friendly to the peanut-allergy folks out there, but this reminds me of my childhood when I used to buy boiled peanuts at the zoo (you're supposed to buy them and feed the elephants but I thought I deserved them more than the elephants!).
I ordered some "New Orleans style gumbo" and a portion of the proceed goes to the hurricane relief fund - good cause!
As far as the gumbo goes, though, I thought it was just okay. Good but I've had much better gumbo. Well, let me put it this way: It was a good soup - but if you ask me, it ain't gumbo! Can't compare to the one I had at Luke in NOLA.
Crispy Fried Calamari ($10)
Tossed with citrus-soy vinaigrette and wasabi dipping sauce.
This was a good calamari - not too greasy as it sometimes tends to be. The wasabi dipping sauce is interesting and is a delicious twist - it helps cut the grease of the fried calamari.
Shiitake and Gruyere Bread Pudding ($7)
Quite a flavorful and aromatic bread pudding! Liked this dish a lot (although it could use more shiitake for better texture) - it was better the next day when the bread has soaked up all the flavors :P
New Zealand green lip mussel pan roast ($12)
with linguisa sausage, oven-dried tomato, garlic, herbs and white wine saffron brot
Really loved the broth for this dish. The mussels are also big, plump and juicy. Probably my favorite dish of the night, and not bad for $12 (there were more mussels, this was half eaten)
Sauteed Brown Rice Bowl ($12)
With tofu, carrots, broccoli, and egg white this is a very healthy dish. And tastes kinda healthy too :P It is much better the day after as a leftover, just like fried rice is much better when made with day-old rice. Pretty basic dish, nothing special.
For dessert we got the chocolate pot de creme, as it was recommended to us ($7)
It's a pretty small pot but definitely a delicious dessert. The current menu online lists chocolate pot de creme with fresh strawberries, but I believe the one we had were blueberries.
The prices are Nook Bistro were pretty reasonable and the food is delicious (even if they can't do gumbo, IMHO) with good quality ingredients. An excellent neighborhood bistro and a pretty casual dining place. Nothing mindblowing but definitely good comfort food. I'll definitely be back.

It took me a year to discover this place that is just a few blocks up the exact same street I live on. Shame on me! But I have been making up for it by visiting regularly. The Gourmet Cobbler Factory in Pasadena is a small hole in the wall place on Catalina Ave, just north of Colorado. If you're walking up from Colorado you would see a faded sign and barred windows/door, and you might think the place has gone out of business. But just walk a little more and you'll see the actual entrance door!
The place is pretty much all take-out: there are one or two tables outside, but they don't heat things up for you. The gumbo (yes they have gumbo! and sweet potato pie!) is sold by the pints, quarts, etc, and chilled so it doesn't spoil.
The "single serving" (which is too much for one) 4x6 cobbler ranges around 6$, depending on the filling. My ultimate favorite is the Cherry Cobbler. Followed probably by the blueberry (pictured left), or the peach (pictured below).
I've read a lot of reviews with people complaining that there's no bottom crust. I guess they've heard your laments, because my cobblers definitely have a bottom crust!
All the cobblers are made with fresh fruits, no preservatives, and the taste? I eat them for lunch! I'll eat them for dinner again! If it wasn't so bad for my health and figure I'll just keep eating it!
THE GUMBO ($15.50 / quart)
I was surprised I had to tell my friend this but, yes, be careful eating the gumbo. The chicken still has bones. The crab is still in the shells. The shrimp tails are still attached.
Their gumbo is good. Not awesome. But they can double brownie points for being a great take-out within walking distance. And another brownie point because I can get a cherry cobbler while I'm there. Oh, and a peach too. And blueberry. And a sweet potato pie. Yeah. That'll be all.

As I sit on the curb amidst the foul smelling street,
odors of beer and urine, the haze of fumes from cars
driving past, I am okay. Sitting in filth. This is my comfort
zone. No worries of judgement passed on myself nor
the others that join me. No deeper could I fall into the
well of despair.
Darkness is comforting. Like a vampire I stay out at night
and hide away from the light. Hiding in places most wouldn't
dare to enter. Shadows of those who are like me appear as
the night transpires. Normalcy for me is chaos. The Irreputable slumber from life on life's terms.
I'm a beggar, a poet, a singer to those who are nothing.
I am the queen to my court of lost souls. I am important to
those who have live in my world.. Morally and spiritually
bankrupt. I lead my court in tales of woe. We teach tricks
of the trade to each other. We've created a family. The
streets are our Great Room where we convene.
One may wonder how we came to this place. Who chooses
to live on streets and beg for need. Who chooses to chase a
feeling that will never be found again. Lovers of numbing
ourselves. Emotion can not penetrate despair. It is a choice
we've made. It's is the unwillingness to join the living.
You see us in darkness and shadows. You see us on curbs
with false smiles and big dreams. You pass us and are
thankful for comfort or family.
But for the Grace of God go I.
Grace is given to those who earn it. I wander.
I excuse opportunity and bow out of responsibility.
I am a grain of sand. Waiting to be washed away with
the tide. I welcome it.
I sit on the curb amidst the foul smelling streets.
By choice.

Strains of leprosy are found in red squirrels in British Isles
Red squirrels in Britain and Ireland are carrying strains of leprosy that could cause disabilities and skin ulcers to humans if they are infected.
Also known as Hansen's disease, Leprosy epidemic tormented humans in medieval Europe but the disease almost disappeared from the world at the end of Middle Ages without any specific reason.
When researchers from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the University of Edinburgh have recently examined red squirrels in British Isles with increasing number of sores and swelling, they found that red squirrels are infected with the same bacteria that caused leprosy in the humans of Medieval Europe.
"It was completely unexpected to see that centuries after its elimination from humans in the UK M. leprae causes disease in red squirrels," said Stewart Cole from EPFL. "This has never been observed before."
In the latest study, researchers carried out blood and DNA tests on 110 red squirrels from England, Scotland, and Ireland. Some of squirrels were having visible symptoms of leprosy while others did not. However, examination showed that all red squirrels from England's Brownsea Island were infected with the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, which is the oldest known strain of leprosy and is closely related to the one found in the DNA of leprosy victims buried in Winchester more than 700 years ago.
No squirrels from Scotland and Ireland were found to have this bacterium. But they were carrying another related bacterium called Mycobacterium lepromatosis which can also inflict leprosy.
"The main message of this is that the number of non-human reservoirs of leprosy might be much higher than previously thought." Lead researchers Charlotte Avanzi told Live Science.
"This is of particular interest in countries where leprosy is still endemic in human[s], where maybe a part of the new cases numbers could be explained by the presence of an animal reservoir."
Today, leprosy is under control but sill around 200,000 new cases of infectious disease are reported every year worldwide, most of which occur in developing countries. In the U.S., typically 150 cases of leprosy are reported each year.
The chances of people catching the disease from red squirrels are low but certainly cannot be dismissed altogether.
"The next logical step after this study is to check the red squirrel population outside the British Isles, and that includes Switzerland," said Andrej Benjak, one of the authors involved in the study.
"Even if there is leprosy in red squirrels in continental Europe, the risk of transmission to people is generally low because of their limited contact with humans and hunting red squirrels is forbidden in most European countries."

The Journal of the American Medical Association has recently published a good quality, placebo-controlled, randomised, double-blind trial looking at whether vitamin C and E supplementation can reduce cardiovascular events. It ran for 10 years, and included "14 641 US male physicians enrolled, who were initially aged 50 years or older, including 754 men (5.1%) with prevalent cardiovascular disease at randomization." The trial concluded that "[t]hese data provide no support for the use of these supplements for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in middle-aged and older men."
I was surprised to see that the alternative nutrition industry has not yet responded to this – I was waiting with bated breath for Sir Cliff Richard's definitive critique of the science – so I thought that I would respond on their behalf: frankly, the alternative nutrition industry's response to such trials has become tediously predictable so there seems to be little point in waiting.
I will list a number of likely industry responses below; I will then enjoy the small satisfaction of ticking them off when they appear in industry press releases:
– Wrong type of vitamin pills (e.g. not 'natural' or organic vitamin C and E pills)
– Not high enough doses.
– Excessive doses.
– Treatment needs to be individualised.
– Participants were too young to reveal the effects of the pills.
– Participants were too old to reveal the effects of the pills.
– Supplements don't work unless taken with loads of other pills.
– Pills need to be taken several times a day, in order to maintain levels of the vitamins.
– Subjects may have been using pharma drugs alongside the vitamins: this is why the antioxidants did not provide the ultimate protection.
– Subjects were eating bad diets: this is why the pills did not work.
– Subjects were eating good diets: this is why the pills did not work.
– Measuring the wrong things. Who cares about stroke when Vitamin C will protect you from something really nasty that wasn't measured…
– Participants were too ill to reveal the effects of the pills.
– Participants didn't have health problems so couldn't reveal the effects of the pills.
– How much did big pharma pay the researchers?
– We have mounds of in vitro and observational studies, research in animals, anecdotes etc. that PROVE this is wrong.
– We need more research to PROVE that the pills we sell work. Don't be silly, of course we won't fund good quality research from our own profits…
– Meanies.
So, did I miss any?

For years I had fantasies of being tied up, dominated, getting choked, and even being raped by the one I was involved with, but I never had any clarification of the things I liked. I took up a character for an RPG I belong to and started doing research on sadomasochism and everything involved with it. I've almost become obsessed. I've learned that I'm a definite masochist with sadist qualities. (Aren't we all? =P)
Last summer I started cutting myself. The upper part of my left wrist and just above my left ankle. At the time I was on some serious drugs and highly depressed, and I honestly believe that at that time I was just going through a fucked up time period in my life. I stopped once I got off the drugs and even let a few loved ones know what I was doing to myself. I cut myself a couple of months later because of an ex (which I vowed to never do again.) And haven't done it since until....
About a month and a half ago I was talking to a friend online and I came clean about the thing I loved most and tried twice. Being choked. He told me the term Erotic Asphyxiation. I began doing research on it as well, and finally found that I'm not the only one who likes hands around my throat while I'm being fucked. It brought a whole new light to my sexuality, and since then I've found I am into the following: Erotic Asphyxiation, Breath Play, Breath Control Play, Blood Play, Knife/Razor Play, Bondage (which I'd known about for a while), + more, and the thing that narrows it all down to two words... Death Fantasies. There's nothing that gets me off more than knowing my life is in someone's hands and with one slip up I could die. It's the most thrilling experience in the world.
Several days ago I cut myself again for the first time in months. But this time it was not out of depression at all. I wanted to do it. I wanted to feel the pain. I wanted to watch myself bleed. I cut myself a total of fifteen times just above my left ankle. I played in the blood, using the razor blade to spell things out with my dark crimson liquid. It was the perfect mind orgasm, enough to make me soaking wet. It was the most amazing thing. I played it safe though. Once I was done, I cleaned out the wounds and covered them to stop the bleeding.
The cuts are healing. I know I'll do it again. I now long for someone else to cut me and another's hands around my neck again. Not only do I want it, but I need it. It's now a big part of my life, and I don't expect it to ever leave.

Music City Industrial Park
140,000 Square Feet –Flex Office Industrial Park
This project provides desperately needed "flex office" space for small businesses owners requiring between 2,000 and 10,000 SF for warehouse / light-industrial / office space use. While tremendous quantities of large scale warehouse space, created for large single-tenant warehouse users requiring 50,000 SF to 1,000,000 SF, there is a tremendous shortage of available space for smaller users, as evidenced by sub-3% vacancy rates and soaring industrial and office rents.
100,000 Square Feet – Office Condominiums
347 South Royal Oaks Blvd, Franklin, Tennesse
Allston East & West will comprise of approximately 104,549 square feet of Class A office space in one of the hottest markets in America, Franklin, TN. The average office condo will consist of 5,067 square feet and will be offered at an average of $1,729,000. Office condos will range from 2,669 square feet for $890,000 to 7,237 square feet for 2,460,000 with a 1,200 SF terrace. Owners will have the benefit of an accommodating 4/1,000 square foot ratio. This will give Owners and guests a surplus of easy access parking to choose from including a 150 space below grade parking garage with elevator access direct to Owners space.
Deep Local Knowledge
The Réaliste Fund has partnered with local developer Megan Epstein of CA South Development to fast-track the development of desperately needed residential condominiums, office condominiums, and flex-office space which the market is not currently offering in adequate supply for a variety of tax reasons and the difficulty in getting such projects debt financing.
Mitigating Risk
As sophisticated investors who have been through several economic cycles, we are committed to maximizing returns while responsibly mitigating downside risks such as;
1) Macro Economic Risk – It is prudent to assume we are "late" in the current economic cycle, which means that the fund must be extremely selective about the product types in which it invests, as well as the target market which its development projects will serve. Nashville's economy with its favorable taxation, affordable cost of living, pro-growth and pro-employer government, is benefiting from the net migration away from "blue" states with less competitive taxation and higher cost of living. Nashville's affordability, access to world-class entertainment and attractions, and big city amenities make it unlikely to stop growing over the long-term, despite macro-economic challenges. Nashville is one of the "safest bets" due to job growth, household growth, income growth and other important demographic trends, especially when compared to the over-inflated costs of cities like New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and others (from which many new local residents are coming from).
Global Sophistication Meets an Unsophisticated Market
While an extraordinary amount of investor attention is now newly placed upon Nashville, it wasn't so long ago that local developers' only source of capital was from local investors.
Specializing in Off-Market Opportunities
Many of transactions sourced and developed by CA South Development are not brokered or listed opportunities. This provides for less competition securing developable parcels, resulting in better overall returns.

What's ahead for 2015 in the tech industry? Members of the GeekWire news team offer their perspectives with this look ahead the key stories and trends we'll be tracking in the coming year, with a few predictions along the way.
John Cook, Editor and Co-founder
IPOs in 2015
Will the IPO window remain open or closed in 2015?
Several heavily-funded, privately-held companies will be asking themselves that question as the new year kicks off. In fact, CB Insights recently reported that there are now 40 private technology companies valued at more than $1 billion — big consumer brand names such as Airbnb, Jawbone and Uber. If the IPO window remains open, some of those companies will most likely try to go public.
It certainly has been a good time to test the IPO waters. In 2014, 273 companies priced public offerings in the U.S., the greatest tally since 2000 and a 23 percent increase over 2013, according to Renaissance Capital.
Washington state's IPO lineup had a decidedly life-science bent in 2014, as three biotechnology companies (Alder BioPharmaceuticals, Juno Therapeutics and Immune Design) completed public offerings. Now, we'll see if another crop of companies can make it out. Likely candidates include electronic signature powerhouse DocuSign, real estate company Redfin and enterprise software companies Apptio and Avalara.
Seattle's startup scene
Seattle's startup community continues to produce groundbreaking companies, but two core challenges remain, and they will continue to surface in 2015: Talent and capital.
Amazon.com's growth in Seattle, along with the arrival of large technology companies such as Alibaba, Dropbox, Apple and Twitter, is making it especially tough for up-and-coming companies to attract engineers and developers. That problem will likely continue in 2015, putting strains on early-stage companies.
The capital markets are relatively strong right now in the tech industry, but the Seattle startup community has been hurt in recent years as the number of homegrown venture capital firms has dwindled. That means the angel community and investors from outside the region have had to step up. A fresh injection of capital in the region could do wonders.
Just imagine what the startup ecosystem would look like in Seattle if three homegrown venture capital or super angel funds — created by top-notch technologists or investors — were formed with $50 million each? That could dramatically alter an already dynamic startup ecosystem.
The new tech giant: Starbucks
One of the companies we're planning to cover heavily in 2015 is Starbucks, which is emerging as a technology giant in its own right. The launch of the company's mobile ordering system as a pilot in Portland, Ore., will be followed by a national rollout this year, positioning Starbucks as one of the leading retailers embracing mobile technology.
"We believe it will be a huge driver to our customer experience and our business," said Adam Brotman, Starbucks' chief digital officer, in an interview with GeekWire's Tricia Duryee at the Portland launch.
Even before the mobile ordering rollout, the company says mobile devices (using preloaded digital cards) account for 16 percent of all Starbucks transactions in the United States. Starbucks CEO Howard Shultz has made it clear that the company will be aggressive with its technology rollout, with food and coffee delivery also in the works.

Amazon: An evolving device strategy
By nearly every account, Amazon's Voyage is the thinnest, lightest and best e-reader the company has ever made. It could also be the company's last big upgrade to its lineup of e-readers.
The e-book giant may continue to sell e-ink readers for the foreseeable future to those people seeking a single-purpose device, but starting this year, there are very few reasons for Amazon to tweak the hardware. An estimated 7.8 million e-readers are expected to ship in 2015, which is down from 2011 when 23.2 million were shipped at the height of the market, according to Statista.
Meanwhile, Amazon must turn its attention to the next chapter, which includes a whole family of devices. Today, it has a line-up Fire tablets, the Echo living room speaker and TV streaming devices. The very flawed Amazon Fire Phone will get a major reboot in 2015. Our prediction is that it won't be the hardware that will stand out, but the business model. Watch for intriguing data plans, or major discounts for Amazon Prime customers that will make owning the device an easy sell.
What else? A wearable or watch, of course!
T-Mobile: Phoning a friend
For the fourth-place carrier, Bellevue-based T-Mobile US, the past few years have seen multiple acquisition bids by interested suitors: First AT&T, then Sprint and its parent company Softbank, and finally France's Iliad.
In each case, T-Mobile remained independent, and the company has seen steady customer growth under CEO John Legere.
But it will be harder and harder for T-Mobile to go it alone. In 2014, its shares lost about 18 percent of their value, and it still must raise a lot of debt to participate in the current and upcoming spectrum auctions. As for who might buy T-Mobile, there's two safe guesses: Dish Network, which has been hording spectrum licenses for quite some time, and Telmex, a venture owned by Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim, who also owns and operates the U.S. prepaid wireless carrier Tracfone.
Two wild guesses to add to the list: Google, which has plenty of investments in fiber and WiFi, but not cellular, and China Mobile, which is partially owned by the Chinese government, but has been looking to spend its $60 billion-plus in cash on foreign investments.
Mobile payments: Big deals to come, but consumers still paying with plastic
Sorry, but 2015 won't be the year for mobile payments, either. Things move at a glacier's pace when it comes to money.
For instance, only 2 percent of U.S. retailers have point-of-sale systems that are NFC-enabled, and there's around 9 million retailers in the country. Many customers have not even used Apple Pay, Softcard or Google Wallet. Apple Pay only works in the store on the iPhone 6, and after three years, only 20 percent of Android phones are using Gingerbread (which is the first NFC-capable Android OS).
Still, banks, carriers and other tech giants will feel pressure to catch up, so expect large bets to be made. Some potential acquisition targets to watch: Square, Stripe, PayPal and Groupon.

Microsoft's test: Windows 10
The past year has brought unprecedented change at Microsoft, and new CEO Satya Nadella has already started to put his stamp on the company — striking partnerships with longtime rivals, making Microsoft's apps work across competing platforms and, despite a high-profile misstep, generally bringing a fresh new approach to the company's operations.
Now comes the hard part: ensuring the company's future at a time when its flagship operating system is no longer the center of the technology universe. The big test in 2015 will be the rollout of Windows 10, starting with a press event later this month where the company is expected to unveil many of the key consumer features.
The company is likely to expand its Surface tablet lineup along with Windows 10, and the return of the Start menu will appease longtime Windows users, but the key question is whether Microsoft can make Windows relevant again for a consumer audience that has shifted its focus to smartphones and tablets.
Who controls your data?
On the topic of Microsoft, we'll be closely tracking the company's battle with the U.S. government over a warrant ordering the company to turn over email account data stored in Dublin, Ireland.
The case has turned into a catalyst for the larger debate between tech companies and the government over privacy and control of user data, following Edward Snowden's revelations about government surveillance.
This is becoming all the more important in the era of sensors and wearable devices (see more on this trend below) with more and more forms of personal data being stored on servers around the world.
Amazon Growth: Is it sustainable?
Amazon has been hiring at a rapid pace, reaching nearly 150,000 employees worldwide as of September — an increase of nearly 40,000 employees over the prior 12 months. The company is expanding with a massive new complex of office buildings across four blocks on the northern edge of downtown Seattle.
The company is growing so quickly that it needs developers to build 30 new residential buildings in and around downtown Seattle, with at least 200 units each, just to accommodate its employees in the coming years.
All of this comes as the company maintains a tenuous relationship with Wall Street, testing the patience of investors with a lack of consistent profits. No, we never elected Jeff Bezos as mayor, but like it or not, Seattle's future is now intertwined with Amazon's fate.

The Apple Watch, and the growth of the wearable tech market
Apple made a big splash this year with its announcement of the Apple Watch, a new smartwatch that the company will release sometime early next year. It's designed to give users access to the features of their iPhone right on their wrist, as well as track users' fitness, including their heart rate.
It's one in a line of such devices, which also include the Pebble e-ink watch, and a number of new watches released this year that are powered by Android Wear, Google's version of an operating system for wearable devices.
Rightly or wrongly, the success or failure of Apple's smartwatch will be considered a bellwether for how consumers feel about wearable devices. There's a lot of potential for failure. Case in point: Microsoft's SPOT watch, which failed to catch on outside the wealthy nerd demographic a decade ago.
At the same time, I think some form of wearable tech – even if it doesn't take this current form – is inevitable. Computers are getting smaller and more powerful every year. Thanks to Bluetooth, wearable devices can just piggy-back off the internet connection from our phones, rather than worry about building their own wireless modems in.
Will 2015 be the year smartwatches go mainstream? It's hard to say just yet. The Apple Watch, with its design and Apple's pedigree, seems like the best shot any company has, though.
Will virtual reality really go anywhere this time around?
It has been a big year for the second coming of virtual reality. Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion, and Sony announced Project Morpheus, its own VR headset. Samsung released its Galaxy Gear virtual reality viewer that was built in conjunction with Oculus, while Google unveiled its own Cardboard VR prototype. Apple is even getting in on the virtual reality game, posting a couple of job openings for engineers experienced in developing VR tools.
It's clear that the leading tech companies are investing big into VR, but there are still unanswered questions. Will developers be able to bypass issues of motion sickness in the new experiences? What will we do about simulating other parts of the experience, like touch or smell?
I haven't seen a company effectively answer those yet. Nobody is going to want a virtual reality headset that makes them sick to their stomachs, even if it can provide breathtaking vistas never created by a computer.
Much like wearable tech, VR has been tried before. It never quite caught on. 2015 could be the year when we see the future of human-computer interaction come to the fore, or slink away after another failed attempt.
How Amazon, Microsoft and Google will differentiate themselves in the cloud
Base-level cloud computing resources are either at or quickly approaching commodity status. Companies that want to run a simple workload in the cloud can do so cheaply, and there are a variety of providers to choose from. So how do Amazon, Microsoft and Google differentiate themselves from one another, and make real money off the cloud?
That's the billion dollar question – literally – and each company has its own take on how it can add value. Amazon announced a whole suite of new tools for developers at its ReInvent conference, while Microsoft has spent its time developing new high-level services for Azure like a machine learning service that gives users the ability to process large volumes of information without a data science background. Google followed in a similar path with its Container Engine service, which is designed to let developers easily manage dockerized applications in the cloud.
Odds are, we'll see more of these services come around in the coming year, along with some more expected wars over pricing. Each of these companies has a lot to gain, and offering new services is one of the best ways they can attract new customers as more companies move their workloads into the cloud.

Will Uber truly become more "humble"?
Whether the company is raising another billion dollars or given the finger by another city, Uber was certainly the center of attention in the tech world this year.
Now that the fast-growing startup has some serious cash to work with and a massive user base in more than 250 cities worldwide, it will be fascinating to watch how the company grows in 2015.
How will fellow on-demand transportation startups like Lyft and Sidecar react? Will cities like Portland continue to block out Uber and similar companies? And how exactly will Uber CEO Travis Kalanick follow up on his promise to make Uber a more "humble" company? We'll be continuing to track these issues closely, given Uber's role at the center of this emerging economic sector.
Food meets technology
Like many of you, food is one of my passions, and it's so cool to see how technology is changing the entire food industry.
In 2014, we saw a rush of food delivery startups gain traction. This will only continue as people become more busy but still demand healthy, affordable food in a reasonable amount of time.
Also, keep your eye on restaurants using mobile devices to help people order food and pay bills. Places like Chili's are already doing so, and I think it's going to be almost expected to see tablets embedded at every table in the near future.
Technology transforms sports
The intersection between sports and technology is becoming more busy — and interesting — each day.
NFL players and coaches are using Microsoft Surface tablets on the sidelines; the newest stadiums feature some seriously geeky tech; and fitness-focused wearable devices are growing in usage.
But here's the best part — I feel like we're just at the beginning of technology really changing how sports are played, watched, and consumed. Not every new innovation will make the games better — I'm not a fan of reviewing every single possible play during an NFL game, just because you can — but for the most part, I'm optimistic that technology will continue having an exponentially positive impact on sport.
Frank Catalano, GeekWire columnist
Education technology
As technology in education goes increasingly mainstream, with superstars like Sal Khan and companies at all levels of education raising more attention and cash from VCs, I'll be watching the impact it has on the startup community and investors, and what it means for the geeky masses, from toddlers to the toddling. My expertise in this area comes from my day job as an industry consultant.
The impact of "open"
Open source software has been a big deal for decades, but it's now being supplemented by various open initiatives, from content (think Creative Commons) to credentials (Mozilla's Open Badges). A center of this action is Portland, and the "open" movement affects startups and established tech firms as they complement it, or compete with it. I've closely observed and worked on projects leveraging the Mozilla Foundation's Open Badges initiative for more than two years and, as a result, have developed some insight into the issues of what's "open" and what's charitably called "openwashing."

Streetside BBQ is your one stop shop for everything good. Sure, we have the best barbecue in Philadelphia but what is good food without good beverages.
Served in sophisticated dispensers sure to complement any occasion, Streetside BBQ offers the complete package with an assortment of beverages. Pictured above are sangria, virgin sangria and water flavored with lemons and limes served at a baby's baptism catered by us.
Contrary to popular belief, a beverage is not just a beverage. In cultures where several types of beverages are available, they are classified and these classifications define the social sphere as a whole. Whether metaphorical for values, beliefs or identity, identification of culture or something similar, the significance of beverage describes and constructs meaning in a particular social circumstance. It is rare that a beverage is not a byproduct of the social setting in which it is enjoyed. The fact that people often choose alcoholic beverages at a wedding and juices and soda at a child's birthday supports this claim. Similarly, people typically associate champagne with a celebration at an event. If champagne is served, the logical question that society has been trained to ask for the purpose of the celebration.
Although uncommon, there are some societies in which beverage choice is more individualistic, however, there is a certain social correctness to a beverage related to the time and place in which it is enjoyed. For example, wine is a good accompaniment to a meal during an event of a formal or informal nature where beer is usually associated with a more relaxed event.
But one thing is for sure – there is no event or celebration where there are no beverages served. Streetside BBQ can complement your menu with the beverage or beverages of your choice. If you drink it, we serve it!

Maison Dellos Group has opened new Russian Restaurant in Moscow
Matryoshka, new restaurant of Russian cuisine, was opened in Moscow by founder of legendary Café Pushkin. New restaurant is located on Kutuzovsky prospect, 2/1 on Moskva Embankment.
Restaurant will be specialized on fine Russian cuisine. The history of 'Maison Dellos' starts its count from 1996 when Andrey Dellos opened his first restaurant 'Bochka' with homemade Russian food, welcoming fire of the open grill, relaxing music and unusually cosy atmosphere. Here the entertainment policy was conceived which totally manifested itself later at a Ukrainian restaurant 'Shinok'. The main point is to transform the centre of the room into a stage where all the action relevant to the spirit of the place takes place. 'Bochka' has an open grill where whole lambs are being roasted, while 'Shinok' boasts an imitation of country life with a real horse, goats, roosters and a shepherdess.
Café Pushkin restaurant, opened in 1999, is the most famous project of Maison Dellos. It is one of the few Moscow restaurants that got into Europe's Top 25 and World's Top 100. Café Pushkin is a piece of old noble Moscow in the centre of a modern megalopolis. Its amazing atmosphere and excellent cuisine conquered Bill Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, Madeleine Albright, Nicolas Sarkozy, Jack Nicholson, Quentin Tarantino, Angelina Jolie, Will Smith, Meryl Streep, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sophie Marceau, Gérard Depardieu, Fanny Ardant, Catherine Deneuve – this is just a small part of all celebrity guests of the restaurant. The autographs of the world stars occupy 4 volumes of the guestbook of «Café Pushkin» and to name all celebrities one will need tens of pages. Text's and pictures' source: matryoshka-rest.ru
If you need asistance with restaurants' reservation, accommodation booking, planning your special event, cultural or incentive program, conference and congress in Moscow or St. Peterbsurg, please, contact team of Tsar Events Destination Management Company & Professional Congress Organizer that provide all MICE services in all Russian cities.

Sonam Kapoor recently Shared Some of her pictures from a latest photoshoot of a jwellery brand.

Pictures of Sonam Kapoor are mesmerizing.

Sonam Kapoor is now working on Sanjay dutt's biopic Dutt with director RajKumar Hirani and Rhea Kapoor's Production movie Veere Di Wedding.
