Renowned Barbadian writer Kamau Brathwaite took the first prize in the 2013 Frank Collymore Literary Endowment (FCLE) awards, followed by educator Ronald Williams and newcomer Mark Ramsey last night.
Writer and actress Pauline Melville delivered the feature address at the Frank Collymore Hall and spoke on a theme of the writer being 'instinctively international'.
Brathwaite, who is widely considered one of the major voices in the Caribbean literary arena and has copped several international awards, including the Neustadt International Prize for Literature, was unable to attend and receive his award for his collection, 'The Lazarus Poems', described by the evening's announcer and FCLE committee member, De Carla Applewhaite, as a piece which "ultimately transcends the thread of death".
Ronald Williams' 'The Memoir', a thriller and romance piece, was announced second prize winner at this, the FCLE 16th Annual Awards.
Nineteen–year-old Mark Ramsey took the third prize for 'Generation with the world in our Mouths' that Applewhaite said "impressed the judges with its aspiration to a distinctive voice and style".

Nest: Letter Four
Enough. I will not take any more of your nonsense.
This is one favour too many, Flynto. Our parents did not bring us up in a spirit of dependence. You need to stop asking things of others, and you must start being honest with the ones you love. Oyla's a gem, you idiot. And she's getting tired. I overheard Trinitia at the golf club telling Brenda that Oyla's marriage is 'going through a rough patch'. Oyla won't let on, I know - she was all smiles when we went to help with the trough. But I can see that her smile is stuck at a certain angle. It's almost as if it's strung up, held up by a puppeteer. It's nothing like the one you gave her on your wedding day.
I shall no longer keep your secrets safe, unless you agree to tell Oyla everything. And when I say everything, I mean Everything. The monthly payments, the deal you struck up with the MI5, where you really go when you're 'away'. Tell her, or I will have to. Do send me a letter when you've come clean. With evidence, if possible. A bit of broken crockery will do.
You will find the nest and the egg next to this letter (unless that devilish egg has decided to go walkabout again). I am also leaving the extra twenty pounds that you added to my monthly due. I don't want it.
You know, Flynn, it's a shame. I might just have helped you out with this nest thing for a little longer if you hadn't been so nasty to my boys. I don't know what's got into you since you found that nest, but I don't like it. Your eyes have the same mad glint in them as Dad's did that one time, when they accidentally gave him too much morphine. Remember, the hallucinations, the little devils on the windowsill? Well, that's what you looked like yesterday when you came to check up on your stupid egg. How dare you tell my Paddy that you preferred him to my Greg. How DARE you have told my poor baby Greg that he was an incorrigible ugly duckling (like you can talk with that mangled nose of yours). Greg locked himself up in his room for hours. And now he's not talking to me or Paddy. He worships you, Flynn, and you know what, I think you've just about broken his heart. Happy now?
I don't want this nest in my house, anyway. I couldn't sleep last night for the racket, even though it was stowed away in the garage. The egg was knocking about all night and I swear that at one point it made a ghastly high-pitched wail. I've never heard anything like it. You'll notice that it's looking particularly sweaty today. Ugh. It's simply oozing. You know, when I tried to pick it up this morning, it ran away. I swear to you, it bounced and rolled away from me at a high speed. It ended up under the car. I had to move the car to pick it up. Don't worry, I didn't run it over - I didn't want scrambled egg on my tyres, or whatever's inside that thing. There's something truly repulsive about its shell- Oh gosh, it's wailing again, geez, yowtch.
You'll be coming over soon. I'll make sure to be out, I don't want to see you (or be with this damned egg one minute longer).
I'm starting to think that one of Dad's little devils is living in your egg. I can just see a little pitchfork pricking at the surface.
Right - I cannot bear this screaming any more. Have fun with your beloved nest (and please do The Right Thing by Oyla).

June 18, 1990- In the afternoon, a power outage hit Saugus along with the surrounding area including Magic Mountain. Though a minor outage that was resolved within about 30 seconds, the event left many rides at the park stalled for almost two hours on some. According to Southern California Edison, the outage was caused by a metallic balloon that disrupted the electricity flow through power lines. It was quite a busy day for the park, with some of 12,000 visitors in attendance on that day. No injuries were encountered, but several of the rides suffered power failure which led to circuit breakers needing to be reset causing the delay. In the event of a failure, rides will either stop on the lift itself, or if on their run, halt at the nearest brake run which often times is a mid-course brake (or block brake).
Superman: EFK Extra Rehearsals?!
According to park officials, this weekend might not be the last for technical rehearsals on Superman: Escape From Krypton. They say that the park will make it's final decision this week if Superman will host 'extra' rehearsals next weekend and further. Why it's needed would mainly be because of further employee training they said and that's it's been talked about for more previews. It's not set in stone, but time will tell this week whether or not they will.
Superman: EFK Commercial Filming
Today, Magic Mountain hosted a filming session from 8 in the morning until 4:30 for an upcoming Superman: Escape From Krypton commercial. Riders were chosen last week to appear in the commercial by riding the upcoming coaster multiple times throughout the day. But perhaps the most suprising factor of the day was that the cars had all-new paint scheming! One appeared to be spotted with paintball-like markings with Superman logos strewn over the hood. There also appeared to be a second version with a flat Superman logo over the original blue background. These keep in mind, may have been stickers like some coasters have, or just two different versions.It'll only be a matter of time before we start seeing that commercial on T.V networks. See the pics of the event below provided by Six Flags on Facebook!
July 29, 1979- Just about after midnight, two rival gangs engaged in a fight involving the death of one teenager, and at least six other stabbings. The violence started near the Contempo Pavilion area when gang-members ranging from 15-18 years old took part in a 'major disturbance' during the Contempo Pavilion disco said an officer. 65 deputies were sent on the scene at Magic Mountain, whilst others were on deck in case of need for more officers. It was reported that at least 41 people were taken to the SCV Sheriff's substation right outside the park. One 16 year old in particular, Felix Saldivar was murdered during the fights, while several others were injured but were said to have refused to be treated. The event still went on, but with deputies still in the park after reports of more trouble, but not as bad. At least six people were treated for multiple stab wounds.
Today, we asked Magic Mountain officials about the date for the re-opening of the many closed rides such as all of the water rides, and Colossus and Deja Vu. Although, not an exact date for the rides to open back up is known, they did say that the two coasters along with the water rides are expected to re-open sometime in April. April is right about when the park starts it's official summer season and daily operation. Deja Vu is currently closed for yearly off-season maintenance which includes train rehab, along with work on the tower systems. Colossus' closure is unclear, but said to be a tune-up session for it as well.
Preview Rides On Superman: EFK?
On Wednesday, Magic Mountain sent all 2011 Thrill Pass holders an email announcing that they could be part of a teaser ride or a technical rehearsal on February 19-21 fro noon to 5pm. According to the message, space is limited, and first come first serve. A few hours later, they released on their Facebook page that Facebook fans would be able to ride the coaster on February 26 & 27 as long as they print out the invite from the page. Looks like Thrill Pass holders get the first rides though as each group's preview days are a week apart. If it keeps raining, no teaser they also said. And it looks as if there's a third opportunity to get on the ride before March 19. According to their Facebook page, riders are needed for a commercial filming of Superman on February 24. Is Magic Mountain building even more hype for the ride? Or are they just too eager to open the ride before March 19?
October 19, 1991- Magic Mountain's empty parking lot served as an landing strip for a pilot of a plane that was experiencing technical difficulties. Fortunately, the parking lot was empty as it was a weekday when the park was still closed during the off-season. In the afternoon, a small privately owned plane landed near Colossus due to supposed "engine-problems." No word on how the plane was retrieved.
Slow Saturday For Park
During a recent visit to the park yesterday, we noticed that a lot of the rides were either closed, or open but not 100%. Throughout the day, coaster trains were going south as they had to run the courses with no riders leaving some coasters with only one working train. Take Riddler's Revenge for instance, one of the coasters with a faulty train that day. Something caused several mechanics to head over to the ride to work on the train in the station, whilst the other was on it's run. No word from operators what happened, but one could see the mechanics duct-taping one of the back row's armrest together. Later in the day, Revolution encountered problems causing the ride itself to stop operation until good to go. In the afternoon, X2 broke down, leaving numerous guests who waited hours to either wait for the coaster to be fixed, or leave which most of them ended up doing. Tatsu could be seen running a train with no riders, suggesting that an issue arose with that one as well, resulting in a very long wait. Apocalypse displayed a sign that warned of some kind of work, yet the coaster was allowing riders to ride anyways. Jet Stream, the only running water ride this off-season also was temporarily closed. Other than those rides, most coasters were running on a sole one train anyways, creating a slow wait Saturday for all open attractions.
Park Update- February 12
Instead of doing a trip report like always, enough updates were experienced for news. First off, the Terminator Salvation store changed faces into 'EPIC RIDES', but still with some Terminator Salvation merchandise inside needed to sell. The Sky Tower still remains up and running, but with a lot of the museum features missing from the tower itself. All that's left is a few of the coaster cars and seats, and a few of the wall displays. If you don't know already, the park is gearing up to re-work the Magic Of The Mountain museum up on the Sky Tower soon. No new Green Lantern track is behind Apocalypse, but the construction crews have already started to dig up foundations, and have brought in rebar cages to start concrete laying on-site. Same is with the Roadrunner Express location, where large mounds of dirt can be seen with rebar cages similar to those at Green Lantern are seen. Longhorn's Barbeque 's former location will soon be transformed into the new JB's Smokehouse Barbeque, yet again another attempt by the park to host a barbeque eatery. In Superman news, the ride could be seen testing it's new bacwards facing train with the famous water-filled test dummies in orange jumpsuits. This only happened a few times, one of them ending up being a failed test launch, not sending the train up the tower. Remember the short-lived Icee location in the former Mrs. Fields building? Thought to be an official Icee vendor establishment because of the signage above, both the vendor has disappeared along with the Icee Mix-It-Up sign above. Whistlestop depot is beginning to look more like it's unbranded state with new signs on the former Thomas store and train ride. Oh, and the park started selling 50th anniversary merchandise at Flags Gift Store including snowglobes, shirts, mugs,shot-glasses etc.

June 22, 1985 - During Magic Mountain's "School's Out" all night party for high school teens on Friday, seven park guests were injured while 20 others were arrested. The violence started when two rival gangs attended the event amongst the 25,000 other students that night. Most of the fights were based in the Contempo Dance Pavilion (now Colossus County Fair junction), and involved in serious knife fights which resulted in the arrest and prosecution of 20 members. One injury in particular, involved a security woman who was attempting to disarm one of the teens. 14 other arrests were made that night, unconnected to the gang rivalry. The turmoil didn't cease to stop the event, as it ended as planned at six in the morning Saturday.

Thomas Muller has explained why it is "never boring" to play for Bayern Munich despite the club's unparalleled dominance of German football.
The Bundesliga champions have won 15 of their 16 matches since Jupp Heynckes replaced Carlo Ancelotti as the club's head coach - form that has lifted them back to first in the standings and booked their passage into the quarter-final stage of the DfB Pokal Cup.
Speaking in the wake of Bayern's 2-1 triumph over rivals and cup holders Borussia Dortmund (h/t FourFourTwo), Muller revealed that he was happy to thrive on the pressure of performing for the German giants despite the media seemingly wanting them to fail.
He remarked: "A little turbulence at Bayern Munich is exactly what the media wants. And winning 15 out of 16 games is something we look at with joy.
"That's why we are happy to play for Bayern, since you get never bored. The pressure is always there and in the past weeks we resisted that very well."
The victory over Die Borussen was Bayern's final game of 2017 ahead of the enforced winter break on the continent, and Heynckes' men sit comfortably 11 points clear of nearest rivals Schalke at the summit of Germany's top flight.
Find someone who makes you as happy as Thomas Muller with James Rodriguez. 😃 pic.twitter.com/QHZMtLdmy2— Goal (@goal) December 20, 2017
Muller added that Bayern's stars would reconvene after the festive break and use their scintillating form to head into the second half of the campaign full of confidence as they eye yet another league crown.
The forward said: "We want to take this motivation into the second half of the season. We have a good base and we will continue to attack. It was a nice ending to the year. We won against Dortmund now and already won against [RB] Leipzig as well.
"We look positively into the future and know that the break will help us. We invested a lot in the past month and I think it was visible that we were all happy that the match was finally over."

Spinach and tomato sformato
Somewhere between a soufflé and a crustless quiche – easier than both – a sformato is quick and tasty.
A sformato – its literal meaning is "unmoulded" – is a traditional Italian dish that sits somewhere between a soufflé, a baked custard and a crustless quiche. Happily, and in true Italian style, it's faster and easier to make than all of those things. In Italy, you find sformati most commonly flavoured with pureed peas or potatoes, often cooked in a ring mould and served in slices or wedges.
In my version, I use higher proportion of ricotta than is traditional and the result is less like a baked custard flan. It's lighter, airier, fluffier. I fold in some wilted baby spinach leaves and top it with a few halved cherry tomatoes. More rustic, perhaps, but compellingly good to eat.
You can, if you like, turn it out onto a plate, although I am much more likely bake it in a single dish and serve it up with a spoon, or bake in individual ramekins and present them on their own plates. It's a very good, easy thing to whip up for lunch with a little leafy salad alongside, and is a simple, if slightly unorthodox, accompaniment to a plainly roasted chicken.
While I have included cherry tomatoes below, you can leave them out completely if you want a nice twist on a creamed spinach side dish, in which case I'd recommend adding a grating of nutmeg to the mixture. If I have a tub of my semi-dried cherry tomatoes in the kitchen – the chances are always high – I'll use them here and they are perfect.
Spinach and tomato sformato
Serves 2.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot or small onion
1 clove garlic
100g (3 cups) baby spinach leaves
2 eggs
250g (1 cup) ricotta
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, finely grated
sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper
100g (3 oz) cherry tomatoes, halved
Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly butter one large (about 2-cup capacity) baking dish or 2 small (1-cup capacity) ramekins.
Warm the olive oil in a broad, heavy-based pan over medium heat. Add the onion, chopped. Bruise the clove of garlic under the flat of a knife blade and add to the pan. Cook until the onion becomes soft and translucent.
Chop the baby spinach leaves roughly if they are large and add to the onion, stirring for 30 seconds until wilted and cooked down. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool a little. Retrieve the garlic clove and discard.
In a bowl, beat the eggs together with a fork. Add the ricotta and Parmesan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach and spoon the mixture into your baking dish (or ramekins). Scatter over some halved cherry tomatoes and drizzle with a little olive oil.
Bake for 20 minutes until set and lightly golden around the edges. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Matthew 12:1-21, 1 Kings 20-22
Matthew 12:7 – I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.
Lord Jesus, I learn so much from watching your ministry and how it matches what you actually do. You spoke truth and you lived by it. You were most concerned about human need – both physical and spiritual. And you were not about to let human rules and ceremonies rule over the needs of broken people who stood around you and came to see you. You made sure your disciples had food for their bellies. You made sure that a soul with a shriveled hand was tended to. You made sure that all who came to you were met with compassion and help. You truly are the one whom Isaiah foretold when he said, "A bruised reed he will not break; and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out." Lord Jesus, help me to learn from you so that I might be like you. Give me eyes to see the bruised and the smoldering around me and let nothing keep me from showing mercy to them. Mercy is far more necessary for them than anything else. Help me show mercy to them before meeting my own wants or keeping my own calendar. Help me show mercy to those who need it. Let this be one of my main thoughts and questions throughout the day: How can I show mercy to those who need it today? Lord Jesus, thank you for showing mercy. You didn't have to. You could have stayed in heaven. That would have been far more comfortable and convenient for you. But you wanted me more. You showed great mercy when you came for me and for the whole human race. Lord Jesus, help me to become uncomfortable and go out of my way to show the same mercy to those I meet. Amen.

How Did Halloween Originate??
The name Halloween is a contraction of All Hallows Even, Meaning the evening of All Hallows Day (better known as All Saint's Day). It had been named so because Halloween's Day is celebrated on the evening of 31st October when it is also the first day of All Saint's Day (which ends on the evening of the 1st November). Through it was regarded up until the last few decades of the 20th century as primarily a children's holiday, in more recent years, common activities such as mask wearing, costume parties, themed decorations have grown popular with adults as well, making Halloween an all-ages celebration in the new millennium. Halloween was originally a three-day festival beginning of winter or the New Year. Since winter is cold and dark, this time of year was also associated with human death. Despite thematic similarities, however, there is scant evidence of any real continuity of tradition linking Samhain to the medieval observance of Halloween.

Testing perspectives: The Test Lead
As a project test lead and senior consultant at Experior, I'm deeply involved in our client's businesses. We believe testing is a holistic process, and not something that can be done in isolation. I therefore work alongside business focused project managers and take time ensure that the technical side can make business processes happen, in the end. And that usually means meeting some user experience expectation, in our experience.
What this often means in practice is that during the course of a project I'm asked a lot of questions—questions on project progress, on next steps etc. The most common one by far though is:
How many tests have you passed?
Now I can't particularly blame project managers for asking this question—they have a budget and timeline to bear in mind, and 'passing a test' brings them closer to their goals in their eyes… But there are many issues with this question. Obviously the end game for the test team is to pass tests, but this should be as a consequence of a job well done, not the only thing they are looking to do. A tester's job shouldn't be measured in how many tests have been passed.
So what should a tester's job be? In my humble opinion, our job should focus on:
- Understanding the business processes and building the tests based on this
- Prioritizing the tests to ensure the most critical tests are executed first
- Ensuring the business processes determined work in the system
- Identifying any defects and ensure they are resolved
- Ensuring the processes work as efficiently as possible
A few of my colleagues have expressed, in previous blogs, that the "test everything!" approach is quickly becoming obsolete as business IT infrastructure and requirements become ever more complex. At Experior, we also truly believe restricting our job to pass the tests rather than make sure it works for the business does our clients a major disservice.
To be specific, if we just look to pass tests, projects come across the following issues:
- Business processes are not validated
- Corners are cut in relation to priorities
- Defects are hidden
- Testers are blamed for finding defects not praised
In a nutshell — if we just look to pass the hundreds of tests a project will go through, we'll ultimately fail the most important one: the user experience test. Our job at Experior as testers therefore isn't to pass the many technical tests we undertake as testing professionals, it's to produce software that's business ready.
It's a challenging, different perspective on the job of "software testing". But as our customers attest, it's the right approach to take in order to successfully navigate the challenging world of modern business systems

Thaumic Additions: Reconstructed
347,772 Downloads Last Updated: Sep 14, 2019 Game Version: 1.12.2
WARNING! This is an addon to Thaumcraft, it also requires Hammer Core.
So this is my attempt on rewriting an addon from scratch with few old ideas in place.
So right now we have:
- Blocks:
- Crafting Furnace - just a vanilla-like block that is a furnace and crafting table in one
- Essentia Combier - mixes two points of liquid essentia into compound aspect
- Crystal Crusher - used to obtain vis salt

Capital Income Advisors
This San Diego Firm Helps Their Clients Fulfill Their Dreams
With the new year in full swing, it's time to act on resolutions, such as ensuring a smooth, sound financial future. The task may seem daunting, but it certainly doesn't need to be. At Capital Income Advisors (CIA), Managing Director Jeremy Keating emphasized that their mission is to help their clients fulfill their hopes and dreams for their future. He shared, "CIA was started to serve our clients in a more meaningful way than a traditional financial advisor. We wanted a more meaningful relationship with our clients to truly understand their motivations personally and financially to help guide them down a path to live the life they've always wanted."
This is accomplished through CIA's proprietary trademarked program: Wealth Design Process™. It is a comprehensive system consisting of three steps: discovery (gathering information about your true values/goals), assessment and planning (analysis and development of your entire financial design), and implementation (executing your personal financial design). The process works because it's an ongoing relationship based on trust that keeps growing and evolving over time.
CIA clients love the Wealth Design Process™ because they have control over what is a priority for them. Jeremy elaborated, "Our belief is that any financial design must start with life as the central focus, and then move outward to the solutions that fit your specific needs. So our innovative Wealth Design Process™ is a personal approach in not just getting to know our clients, but helping them to determine their true purpose in life. Then we identify how they can achieve their goals and implement strategies for success."
"Our innovative Wealth Design Process™ is a personal approach in not just getting to know our clients, but helping them to determine their true purpose in life." – Jeremy Keating, Managing Director
Along with Jeremy, the experienced team at CIA is composed of partner Richard Gigliotti, who has been in the financial services industry for 15 years, and partner Martin Shapiro, who has been advising local San Diegans in financial matters for 30 years. Many of their clients are San Diego business owners, in addition to pre-retirees and retirees who are ready to make their monetary situation work to their best advantage.
CIA remains committed to the financial independence of every client they serve. The team also works diligently to get their clients where they want to be. Jeremy maintained, "While your wealth may be a reflection of your success, it is what you do with it that makes it significant and fulfills your life."

Before I start tearing the game apart piece by piece, let me say that there was a huge initial shock of playing a near-perfect Super Street Fighter II game on a small screen. How did they cram all this stuff in there?
Yes, its all here; all 8 characters from the original SF, the 4 playable bosses from Champion Edition, the 4 new characters from Super SF, and even an unlockable Akuma for a total of 17 characters! 17 detailed, animated characters with all their signature moves and digitized voices intact. Then Capcom put in the stages for each character, including the music and crowd all in a cartridge tiny enough to shove up your Game Boy Advance.
Ok, graphics I cant say enough good stuff about the graphics. Ok, so some frames of animation are missing and certain stages are different. Its more than made up for by the all-new, original artwork and the play modes.
The sound in this game is excellent. Even in the tinny, mono sound of the GBA, punches and kicks have that distinctive Street Fighter whoosh & crack is perfectly replicated. This sounds more like the Super NES than anything else. Classic tunes that accompany each stage are here, sounding decent and even above average in this version of the game. Remember the jungle themed tune in Blankas stage? How about the classic Dhalsim music? Its all here, and sounds great. The voices sound great as well.0
Ok, next up is the control, and heres where the game lacks. Now, Capcom did a really good job, dontget me wrong, but theres only so much you can do when you redesign a game that was originally designed with 6 buttons and squash them into four. The controls have taken a hit; and I know Im not the only adult that has a problem with the size of the game boy advance and its d pad keep that in mind when yuo try to pull off those complicated combos that you perfected at the arcade. Maybe its just me but I used to pound the controller on the original SF games. Now, Im forced to play like a church mouse; otherwise, Ill be moving the screen beyond my point of vision.
Shit, its street fighter. Its not original, its ten years old, and this particular version was the last of the stagnation of the original series. So how could this game possibly be good? Its all the extras. Capcom realy went all out to make sure SF revival was worth your hard earned money. The different modes, the turbo speed selection ability, and the survival modes are great ways to keep the game fresh. Even in single player mode, theres plent to keep you busy: hint: get 500,000 points to unlock Akuma. (999,999 to unlock Shin Akuma.) Even if you dont like street Fighter and wish th e series would die already, you have to appreciate that this is a high quality GBA title and well worth owning.
Its hardenough in single player mode, but linked up, its Street Fighter on the go. Is your frined talking shit about how he whupped you snesless the other day in the arcades? Bust out the link cable and school his ass on the spot.
This is one youll have to keep playing over and overagain. Its a perfect GBA game: not overly long or tedious straight up action. The original game boy, with its blurry screen and low battery life, was best suited to puzzle games. The game boy color fixed the problem with the screen but the systems technology wasnt vastly enhanced thus it was the perfect syste for RPGs and classic remakes of the 8 bit hits. Now, the GBA has arrived, and Street Fighter Turbo Revival is the perfect example of what GBA games should be: fast, high quality 16 titles that look great and play great too.
Street figherr 2 turbo revival that shows off what the system can do and provides hours of mindless entertainment.
If you can get over the control issue, you wont be dissapointed with the quality Capcoms title. Even if you dont like SF at all, I highly recommend this game to you as an easy title to pick up and get into.
The difficulty in this game rocks it was a good challenge on the default setting, but the action heats up when you set it to 6 or higher, although the computer gets exttrrmlry cheesy at this point. For a good time,. Challenge a friend, who must also have a copy of the game in order to match up. I had a small problem with this at first, as I thoughy it should be possible to link up with a single copy of the game, but I think I see the logic behind capcoms decision. Rather than allow a linked match on a bare-bones stage with both players using the same character, it looks like they were going for overall quality with this installment of their flagship series. A bare bones 2 player feature would certainly not have fit with the rest of the games full featured gallery, arcade, survival, and true versus modes

Excellent from start to finish.
We were seated immediately upon arrival, and were treated to a birthday champagne aperitif.
The menu was creative, thoughtful, and appetizing. Three of us shared small and large plates, from the homemade duck pasta ragu, to the deliciously seasoned bread, and fresh green salad; the medium rare, tender flank steak was perfectly prepared, and we topped off the meal with a spiced apple pie a la mode!
Superb wine selection and a lovely room that is conducive to a private dining experience.
This may be the best value in the city.
This is the 2nd time I have eaten here, and it is definitely worth the trip from Old Town. Very enticing menu - and the shrimp tacos were very flavorful. Generous but not over-whelming portions. There were 5 of us, so It was fun to share and sample the other extremely good dishes. Very attentive & knowledgeable wait staff.
cozy & warm & kind. a perfect neighborhood spot with high quality food & impeccable service
Came for brunch to celebrate my parents anniversary, which was ignored by Onward. Food was great as always, but not sure how well the place was doing - 11am for weekend brunch and we were one of two tables.
I am so pleased that Rogers Park has a restaurant of this caliber. The servers remembered my wine preference, and brought it right to the table. They were knowledgeable and attentive, but not hovering. I have not had a bad experience here!
We chose Onward for our Anniversary dinner because it was something new for us and close to home. We were so pleasantly surprised with overall experience. The Ambiance was modern, welcoming and cozy. Hostess was very attentive and sited us at the corner romantic table. Cocktails were unique and food was delicious. Server was very attentive and knowledgeable, helped us to make some great choices. We will definitely be back!
Excellent food and superb cocktails. Ambiance isn't much from the outside, but it's quite pleasant once you're inside. It's pricey, but everything tasted high quality,so I wasn't disappointed.
The Food is fantastic. The descriptions of the dishes sound a bit "out there", but I am so impressed at the flavors and presentations. We all tried each others appetizers and main courses and were not disappointed.
We had the diver scallops, chicken liver mousse, Bavette Steak, farm greens with peaches, mushroom soup, saffron farfalle and each dish was better than the one we had just devoured.
The wait staff was knowledgeable and delightful to deal with, I highly recommend.
Nice brunch. Excellent friendly service. Went with the family for brunch and we will come again!
Our waiter (he wore a pineapple pin, idk his name) was fantastic and ensured that our group had a truly outstanding experience!
I love Onward and am so happy to have it in the neighborhood. The food is delicious and the room is lovely. The service is always earnest.
I'm a bit surprised at the other reviews I saw of this place; I think it's being graded on a curve because it's in rogers park.
The food was fairly good. The duck sausage, which I was excited about, was either over cooked or just cooked too quickly, so it was chewy and rubbery. The melon carpaccio was spectacular, definitely my favorite from the evening. The blackened scallops were pretty good, though slightly overcooked.
The wine list was lacking. It isn't terrible, but nothing too exciting. It didn't really play toward value or the extravagant, but a lot of middle-of-the-road wines.
They have the restaurant set up into two separate sides, a bar with high-tops on one side, and a traditional dining room on the other. We sat in the dining room, which looked elegant and well designed, though it was unfortunately loud. Our servers were very kind, which was good, because they needed to make up for otherwise poor service (forgetting to take our food orders, for example).
Overall, I think onward has potential, if they can get their staff more training, and maybe hire a quality somm to run the wine list. I'll come back to try their brunch some weekend, and given how close it is to my work, might try coming by for lunch at some point.
Great service!!
Fabulous to have a great chef and reasonably priced food across from Loyola!
Food was pretty unremarkable, pastries we're good. Service was welcoming and attentive.
Food and service were fabulous. Regular hot tea was extremely pricey at $6.00.
Great meal and service!
Delicious! Outside of my normal price range, but I had a gift card, which was perfect. Everything my partner and I ate was wonderful, both tasty and beautifully presented, and all of our servers were super attentive. Plus, the space is gorgeous.
Excellent meal. We were the only ones in the standard dining room for an early dinner on Saturday night. The service was excellent, the meal was excellent and the atmosphere is excellent for a nice dinner out near Loyola University.
Had a group of 20 having lunch earlier in the day before my son's wedding that evening.The place is beautiful! Kelly helped me with the accommodations and the service was Fantastic! Everyone said the food and drinks were Great! Thanks
What a hidden gem! This was among the best dining experiences ever. We did the "Farm Bowl" w drink pairings, and it was exceptional. The culinary art here—from selections to preparation to presentation—is top shelf. Every dish was perfectly balanced and total eye candy. Incredible flavors and textures...this is a five star meal in an unassuming setting. We will definitely be back.
This is one of a very small number of restaurants in Chicago where you can have a nice meal and not have to shout at your table mates. Service sometimes is a bit slow, but well-meaning.
Onward has great food, very attentive staff, and good ambiance. Great place to unwind after work. Would definitely recommend checking it out!
Great food and wonderful flavors.
The bread basket is amazing.
Onward is fabulous! The food is spectacular, and the service is amazing. We've been there more than once and always had a great experience. We went for my son's birthday, and they treated him to a special dessert and gave him a menu signed with birthday wishes from all the staff! That's an extraordinary dinner! Thank you, Onward!
Excellent food and service. Nicest place in Rogers Park.
Exceeded expectations of on all accounts. The drinks are art, the food and desserts unexpected and executed beautifully. I have been for brunch several times but dinner blew me away even more! Love this place. Just what the neighborhood needs.
Loved Onward ... when wait staff found out we were celebrating a birthday, they sent champagne for everyone. Also, comped every dessert on menu ! Appetizers delicious! Can't wait to return 😊
Great food and top notch service! My co-workers and I enjoyed a delicious lunch in their outdoor seating.
Outstanding food and service every time.
This is a welcome addition to Roger's Park. We have so many good food options in Rogers Park but Onward fills a need for a more polished and formal dining experience. The food is delicious and well thought out.
excellent new restaurant in RogersEdge----definitely worth visiting
This was my second visit to Onward and I was once again delighted with my overall experience. This is an upscale neighborhood restaurant with delicious food and a great wine selection. The price point is excellent for the quality of the meal and I can't wait to come back to try some of the menu items I didn't order this time around. The dining room is beautiful and not noisy at all... a plus in my mind these days...
Very pleasant place for Brunch. We have not tried it for dinner, but the room is very nice and a good place to celebrate with family.
Great service. Delicious food..I would definitely pass it on to my friends especially those that live in the neighborhood. like me ..
Delightful brunch experience. Fun menu, great presentation, creative sides. Will be back and I don't say that often.
Our server, Kate, was terrific. We let her know what time we had to leave to get to the Symphony. She watched the time for us! We had a great meal and lovely decor.
Wonderful place! Excellent service and absolutely excellent food - it's not in the most happening neighborhood, but it is definitely worth a venture to this restaurant.
Enjoyed the experience. Good food and service. Room for improvement when it comes to GF options, especially offering more imaginative and creative GF desserts.

Pre-order here!
Losing his leg was hard enough. He wasn't about to lose his heart too.
Bookworm, Harley Tate, thought showing up uninvited was a good way to catch Penn Jericho by surprise, but what she didn't expect was that her idea would backfire. She landed in the arms of the sexiest cowboy she'd ever seen, and the little fact that he was naked and kissing her in a way she'd never been kissed before couldn't be ignored.
From the second he realized he was groping the wrong woman, Penn should have backed off, but there was something about the woman with the too-big glasses and chocolate eyes that struck him hard in the chest. He hadn't been thrown for a wild loop since the accident and waking up to find that he'd lost a leg. So when she blames him for all her problems, instead of sending her on her way, he brings her home.
Staying with Penn is the safest place for Harley, but she can't stop fantasizing that he'll kiss her again. Touch her like he did when they first met. Penn is sidetracked by the beautiful, brave woman who is surrounded by suspense. To save her, he needs to keep his head on straight, but that's a difficult task when she makes him forget that he has no desire to make room in his life for a relationship.
The knock brought Penn Jericho up from the couch where he'd been sitting in his dark living room, pondering his day and resting his aching muscles. His prosthetic foot clanked loudly against the wooden planks and anticipation grew wildly in him as he got closer to relief. It had been weeks since he'd found solace in the warmth of soft curves. He was long overdue.
Swinging open the door, he didn't bother turning on the light as he reached out, grabbed a slender hand and dragged his earlier-than-expected-booty-call across the threshold. His body turned rock-solid, and he realized just how much he needed this. And because he wasn't wearing any clothes, his cock saluted the sexy bombshell he pushed against the wall. She rewarded him with a whimper of surprise. A framed picture dropped to the floor at their feet, cracking the glass, but he didn't care. Not. One. Shit.
He nuzzled her hair, glad that she wore it down unlike her usual practical ponytail, and inhaled her scent, then he paused. This wasn't her usual cheeseburger/alcohol combination from waiting tables at the local honky tonk. No, this reminded him of a fresh batch of cookies. He could eat a dozen, but for now he'd settle for eating one, delicious, wet cookie. He threaded his fingers in her silken hair and lowered his mouth, drawing his tongue along the seam of her lush lips. He tasted cherry. "I thought I'd go crazy waiting on you, Saucy," he whispered close to her ear.
She stiffened. Now why would she do that? He pulled back, just enough to look down at her. The room was so dark he couldn't see her expression, but he got the feeling she wasn't her usual ready-and-willing self. He blew out a long breath. Maybe he'd come on too strong right off the bat, but she never complained before. "Are you playing hard to get?" No answer. "What's wrong?"
"If I was 'Saucy' I'd probably be into this." The soft voice tinged with an accent that wasn't Texan made every hair on his body stand.

WHat is lifetime cost, and how is it calculated?
Lifetime cost is quite simply the cumulative cost of the grass throughout its useful lifetime. For sod, this means seasonal upkeep, constant watering, and all other operational expenses. With NexGen's synthetic grass, the lifetime cost is the same as the upfront cost. Lifetime cost factors in the capital cost of the grass/sod, and the operational cost on a yearly basis.
When Will I experience my Return on Investment (ROI)?
Though synthetic grass requires a larger upfront investment than natural grass, the savings are in the operational costs. If you want your lawn looking amazing all year around, with no maintenance, than synthetic grass is your best bet. NexGen Synthetic Grass estimates it takes approximately 4-6 years to experience your ROI. This number is based on a number of properties, such as lawn size, maintenance costs, and house location.
This all depends on what you consider expensive. Financially, our synthetic grass offers an ROI in 4 years. The average mortgage is 25+ years. That is 21+ years of savings when compared to natural grass. If you value an amazing lawn for more than 4 years, without the yearly maintenance fees, than the upfront cost becomes understandable. If you consider expensive to be the tireless work in order to maintain an amazing lawn, than synthetic grass is very cheap. Synthetic grass will often raise the profile of your home or commercial area, increasing its resale value more than natural grass can. The upfront cost reflects the longevity and durability of the product.
What payment options do i have?
NexGen Synthetic Grass typically asks for an upfront payment when the account is opened. The amount can vary depending on one's financial position. The remaining amount will then we requested when the grass has left our hands, or has been installed. Typically we prefer a single lump sum payment, but we are still welcome to discuss finance options with our clients. Please speak with one of our company representatives to learn more.
Our Product
Do Your Synthetic Lawns Require Any Maintenance?
Our synthetic grass requires next to no maintenance, regardless of its age, use, or type. Made from strong and durable fibers, our synthetic grass makes for a pristine yard year-round, which also require no mowing, fertilizing or watering. In addition, our synthetic grass is incredibly easy to clean after a spill. The grass acts as an excellent deterrent for animals that like to dig up holes in the lawn, as it is impossible to dig through. For great lawns, choose NexGen Synthetic Grass.
Aren't all the synthetic grasses the same?
Absolutely not! NexGen Grass utilizes the best products in the industry. We strive to provide the highest quality, and workmanship of our products. Our synthetic grass is designed for durability and realism. Our grass is made from incredibly strong fibers, yet softer than sod. In fact, our grass is one of the only grasses on the market that is FIFA-Approved. NexGen is defining the curve with unmatched, and industry-leading quality.
How do i know the quality/lifetime of my turf?
NexGen estimates the effective lifetime of the grass to be 15+ years. 15 is given as a minimum as the lifetime depends on many factors. It is not uncommon for one to install synthetic grass at the start of their mortgage, and still have reliable, amazing turf at the end of that mortgage. Our turf is manufactured by one of the largest and oldest manufacturers in the world, and comes FIFA-Approved. But don't take only our word, schedule a Free Consult and Estimate, and let the grass speak for itself!
what happens to dog urine and waste?
Believe it or not, dogs can go to the bathroom on all NexGen Synthetic Grass products without any hesitations. Your dogs urine flushes through the turf's drainage system, while solid waste is cleaned in the same manner as natural grass. If you're a dog lover (as we are), we also carry specific dog turf, K9-Grass. This offers the best drainage and disinfectant of any of our grass products, and acts to neautralize your dogs urine as fast as possible.
Where does the turf come from?
Many of the turf products on our site have been partially designed by NexGen Synthetic Grass in conjunction with our manufacturer. Our manufacturer has had many years of experience in the synthetic grass industry, and as a result their products can be found in many major retail stores across Canada and the United States. In addition, their grass is one of the few in the entire world that is FIFA-Approved. Your grass is in safe hands with NexGen.
Does the turf come with warranty?
Absolutely! We truly believe that we have the best turf in the industry, and that's why we provide a 6-year warranty on all of our synthetic grass products. At this point, you will already be saving on maintenance costs compared to if you had chosen natural grass. If you wish to discuss an extended warranty, our team would be more than willing to discuss this with you. This makes NexGen Synthetic Grass a no-brainer.
You carry many different forms of synthetic grass, How do I know the one that is right for me?
There is nothing worse than choosing the wrong product, and finding out after the fact. That is why, at NexGen, we offer a Free Design Consultation and Estimate. In other words, we will come out to you, review your property, suggest a grass based on your needs, then mock-up a digital design of the space with the grass installed. We want you to be as comfortable as possible before making the decision to choose NexGen Synthetic Grass. Make sure to make an appointment as soon as possible!
Why should I choose NexGen Synthetic Grass over the other guys?
NexGen Synthetic Grass does it all. We are one of the only suppliers in Canada of FIFA-Approved turf. We offer a competitive warranty, with an option for an extended warranty. We have a wide range of products. We are one of the only firms that offer a digital design so you can visualize the grass in your property before it is installed. We offer competitive prices, but most of all, we are reliable. At NexGen, even though an account may be closed, a job is never done. You are always free to message us for any reason, and we will continue to do all we can, even when the account is closed, to help you and your family with your synthetic grass needs. As we expand nation-wide across Canada, our ubiquity will only help us serve your needs in a quicker and more confident manner.
Are you available in my city?
At the moment, we only serve the Alberta region. That being said, we have an aggressive expansion plan laid out, so make sure to check back as our sights are set on becoming Canada-wide very soon.
Partnership Opportunities
How do i become a partner?
At the moment, simply get in contact with us, using the subject Partnership Opportunities. We are working hard at building a partnership section to our website, and you can expect it to be up by August/September.
What do I receive as a partner?
Though the majority of this will be discussed in private, we can say that you will have access to all of NexGen Synthetic Grass products and access to our marketing materials.
How to I become a NexGen Install Expert?
NexGen Install Experts are different than a NexGen Partner. Mainly, install experts are our term for private landscapers or builders who work with our grass, and offer install as their own private service. They have been formally trained by NexGen Synthetic Grass on how to properly assess, cut, install and maintain the grass. To become a NexGen Install Expert, please contact us today.

Perhaps I'll start a quasi-routine (as in, when I remember) of sharing more in-depth usability suggestions on here as I come across these issues. Maybe, just maybe you'll find your team working on one of these exact things and can take these tips as design considerations before going live…
For today, I'd first like to highlight the usability principles of speaking the users' language as well as recognising and recovering from errors. I was filling out this online payment form today and got an error message, "Nonce is required." Now, I don't know about you, but this cryptography term "nonce" was unknown to me and I only know it's a cryptography term now because I had to look it up.
If users are having to look up a term on your site, you're using too much jargon. Be direct about what you want them to fix. If it's a credit card CVV field in this case, clearly just tell them what to look for, e.g. "CVV is required."
The next consideration is why did I even get this error message in the first place? After figuring out I was missing the CVV field (by consulting the dictionary haha), I was surprised to see this CVV field on the 'back' of the skeuomorphic credit card. While I appreciate the attempt to virtualise a physical card to help me enter my details, I believe there were a few "CRAP" gestalt principle design issues here (i.e. Contrast, Alignment, Repetition, Proximity).
Specifically, by purposeful design, this the CVV field wasn't vertically or horizontally aligned to the other credit card fields nor in close visual proximity so as I worked my way down the left-justified form, I never noticed this field. I even consciously thought to myself, "Hmm I expected to have to enter my CVV…" yet still never saw it. If you rather not say crap, then just remember: if you don't do CARP, you get CRAP! (You can thank David Travis for that one haha).
