Reds at Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa Ratings and Reviews
No bread or rolls were served. I had the New York steak. This steak was 40 to 50% fat and not very tender. However, my wife had the Sea Bass; I had a taste and we both thought it was quite good. The dinners were pricey and the steak should have been much better than it was.
We have eaten at Red's in the past, however, this was the worst meal ever. They had no steaks on the menu, offered no specials, and suggested their "Pub" Steak when we ask for a filet. It was the absolutely poorest cut of meat, touch, stringy, and was like chewing rubber. We made a short night of it, thank goodness for a decent glass of Cabernet. Our service was good, kudos for the lady who had to serve this meal. Will not eat here again. We have stayed at the Sedona Rouge and eaten at Red's many times, having gotten good food in the past. Certainly was not our experience this time.Will not eat here again. We have stayed at the Sedona Rouge and eaten at Red's many times, having gotten good food in the past. Certainly was not our experience this time.
We wanted to like this restaurant, but sadly our experience doesn't allow for that. I ordered a salad without cheese, it came with cheese (no big deal) I sent it back, a new salad was brought which I ate about halfway through before I realized there was still cheese in it. I'm not, but had I been allergic, this could have been tragic. When I pointed this out to the server, she simply removed the salad without comment. I ordered the fish special, which was probably the worst fish I had ever had. Tasteless, way too firm, and a total waste of money. It was the attitude as much as the food that made this such a terrible experience. There are plenty of other great places in Sedona to eat where you can get great food, great service and not feel like you wasted your money.
We enjoyed a delightful evening at Red's celebrating our daughter's birthday. The setting is simple, with low lighting and background music that was conversation-friendly. Service was attentive, but not intrusive. Entrees & sides were all tasty - especially the grilled bistro tender of beef - and the portions were perfect. Just enough room to try some delicious dessert offerings: homemade ice cream and sorbet, cheesecake and a piece of chocolate cake enhanced with a candle & message for the birthday girl.
Perviously, we had enjoyed happy hour and small bites at Red's many times and we kept meaning to go for dinner. We finally did so and couldn't believe what we had been missing. To start, we split the spinach salad and it was the best we've ever had. So satisfying and flavorful! For the main course, I had the shrimp scampi and hubby had the scallops. Both were outstanding. The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is comfortable and romantic. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was quick to act on every request. We will be back as soon as possible. Red's is now our number one go-to choice for dinner.
The four of us enjoyed our food tremendously and would order the same entrees again. Two of us had the spicy tofu, and two of us ordered the salmon. The food was fantastic, compliments to the chefs. Service is always very good at Red's. We will be back again and again. We have also had lunch at Red's and I can't say enough about the great onion rings. I recommend them.
What a huge disappointment on Christmas Day. We were looking forward to salmon, and risotto, which we love at Red's. What we got was a choice of 4 entrees and none of them were appealing. We opted for the turkey with mashed potatoes and stuffing, figuring that would be the best option. It was awful. Dry, tough turkey, the potatoes and stuffing were ok, the vegetables not too good. And it was expensive at $45 per person (although that included a so so salad and a choice of dessert). There were 3 choices of dessert, but the one we would have liked was the creme brulee, and they were out of it. Out of it at 6:15 p.m.!!!! How did they run out of it by 6:15? I have to wonder if they had any at all. We usually love the food at Red's. We will just have to stay away on holidays and other special occasions when they are offering a limited menu.
The server was not very well versed in the menu and the restaurant had limited options to accommodate a dairy allergy at dinner. We custom ordered select items off the menu and still were not served what we ordered. My roasted chicken was very thin, dried out and had average flavor at best. My husband asked for additional demi glaze for his steak and they brought him a completely different brown gravy. We expressed our disappointment with our meal and our server did nothing. No member of management ever approached us not we're we offered to have our meals corrected. I would not recommend this place for food or service.
Our dinner was a birthday celebration and it was memorable. Our server was attentive but not intrusive. Food was delicious and steaks were prepared to our specifications. We had a beautiful complimentary desert. I would choose it again for a special occasion and perhaps try lunch at Reds.
Love Red's at The Sedona Rouge Hotel. Usually get the salmon (because it is awesome) but decided to try the Parmesan crusted chicken. Wow, was it ever delicious. Red's seem to have the best chef's in town. The food is always consistently good. Kudos to the chefs. The service is always excellent as well, and the entertainment (especially when it's Alex Ogburn) is fantastic. We had another perfect evening at Red's. Thank you so much.

10 Things You've Procrastinated About… But Should Do Now
Hope you all had a great Labor Day Weekend. Use these last minutes of the long weekend to make it easier to get back on track tomorrow. Join us as we hammer out this post five minutes before it's due and discover some things that you've been holding off on but should do now. So you can finally cross them off of that to-do list.
1. Perform a system/software update. This is the thing that bugs you every time you're in the middle of work and you just click "Later." For you OS X users, maybe it's time to get your Lion on. And Windows users, know that every update you do will make your machine a little faster and a little more secure. It could also mean checking which version your browser of choice is at, updating all the plug-ins and extensions. Oftentimes, slowdowns and system errors are caused by out of date software, drivers and other components that can be easily updated at the press of a few buttons. Do it today.
2. Back up your hard drive. This is something we all know should be doing regularly but most of us don't. Now is a good time to back up your files to an external drive or to the cloud. Also take this time to set up an automated system to back up your files, with solutions such as Time Machine. Check out some of what options you have to back up your files and keep them safe from fire, nuclear blasts and babies.
3. Optimize your computer. Does your computer seem like it's showing its age, not running as smoothly as the day you got it? Issue such as disk fragmentation and system errors can slow your computer down drastically. Take this time to defragment hard drive and clear any temporary files.

Here are a couple of links to get you started, one for OSX users and helpful tips from Microsoft for PC users.
4. Organize your email inbox. Although I consider myself an organized person, my inbox is a mess. I often rely on the search feature to find those old emails with crucial information. Take this long weekend to get your inbox in order. Even if you already have folders and filters set up, it's good to look back on the year and see if any new one needs to be set up or filters changed. For those that are getting started check out our tips for setting up you gmail inbox.
5. Clean your tech gears. All that gunk building up on your camera is probably going to affect your shot.

It is also important to open it up your computer and clean your fan and blow away the dust, having proper cooling will dramatically improve the performance of your machine. Check out some of our tips on cleaning here, here and here.
6. Clean up your workspace. As part of cleaning to optimize your tech gear, it is also crucial to clean up your work area to optimize your workflow. It's time to put in some cable management for that new monitor you hastily set up in excitement. Make sure your work space works with how you work. take out items you don't need on your desk and make sure you have exactly what you need right where you can reach them. Check out our tips on cleaning up your workspace.
7. Upload your summer pictures. If you're a casual photographer like me, always holding the pictures hostage in my memory card, simply because I'm too lazy to process our photos. It's time to catch up on your summer photo uploads and show them off to your friends and relatives. Check out our tips on how you can organize that 3 months worth of photo mess once they're on your computer, or some ways you can automate mundane photo processing. Maybe we just all need to get an Eye-Fi Wireless SD Card.
8. Update your resume/professional profiles. Whether your currently in the job market or looking for new opportunities or even if you're not thinking of either, it is essential to keep your resume updated. Take the time to go through some of your major accomplishments in the last year to see if you need to add to your resume. Don't forget to also update your LinkedIn profile, along with those you have on various job hunting sites. You never know when your resume will catch someone's eyes with new and exciting opportunities. Check out some of our app roundup for job seekers to see if you're all set up for the hunt.
9. Stock up on supplies for your office. Are you missing the blue in that color printer of yours? Now it's the perfect time to take stock of your home office inventory and see if there's anything that you need to order. If you haven't already, make an inventory of your office supplies and set up schedules to stock up, so next time you won't be in your current predicament. Check out our tips on how to create an inventory with Compartments for Mac, and some stylish ways you can store all that supplies you got. Or how you can save money by making your own office supplies.

The Prince George's County Planning Board could not agree Thursday on a subdivision case that has stirred the Bowie community and revived the city's desire to have authority over land-use decisions.
After an almost four-hour public hearing, the board remained split on whether to approve the petition from Bowie resident Sean Yerby to divide his property into three lots and build two new homes in a half-century-old community.
Yerby's neighbors have overwhelmingly spoken in opposition to the plan, concerned that new construction would ruin the character of their neighborhood. The Bowie planning staff opposes the plan. The City Council voted against it last month.
But the city has no legal authority over land-use issues, and the county's planning department staff recommended approval of Yerby's proposal. After the public hearing Thursday, the four planning board members present could not reach a consensus, with two in favor and two against the plan. The board's lack of action resulted in approval, an outcome that upset residents and city leaders.
The plan to subdivide the property has become an emotional subject in the city of 56,000. Many longtime residents say they want to preserve the original character of their community, which is part of nearly 9,000 houses built in the 1960s by William J. Levitt, the father of modern suburbia.
The case also has brought to light Bowie's long-standing disagreements with the county over land-use decisions.
"We do not have the say in what goes on in our neighborhood, what can or cannot be built," said Diane Polangin, a Bowie City Council member. "People go to the county and say, 'You know I want to put this up,' and the county would approve it even if Bowie doesn't approve it."
County planners said Thursday that Yerby's proposal for the 0.74-acre site conforms with the Prince George's master plan and zoning requirements and that it would maintain the low-to-moderate density of the neighborhood. The project's engineer, Greg Benfield, said at a public hearing in Bowie last month that the new lots would remain consistent with the neighborhood, where the size of lots varies.
"We are not proposing an apartment complex. We are proposing two single-family dwellings that will be conformable with what is there," Benfield said.
Bowie City Planner Frank Stevens said the proposal is not compatible with the city's vision for that neighborhood, which he said has not seen major structural changes since it was established in the early 1960s.
"We moved here because the houses were not built on top of each other," resident Charlie Rogers told board members Thursday.
Helen Krulik, who lives three doors away from Yerby, said she and her family moved to the neighborhood 51 years ago because of its large yards. Although the city and county have developed over the decades, she said, the community maintains a country feel, with large spaces between homes.
"This will change the tranquility, the integrity, the character of our neighborhood," said Krulik, 78.
But Planning Board Chairman Elizabeth M. Hewlett, who lives in Bowie, said the board had no grounds to deny the applicant's request.
"He can do what he wishes with his property," said Hewlett. "Right now, the zone is what it is . . . I can't in good conscience go against what I know the law of the land is in this county."
The decision — or lack thereof — provides another reason for the city to seek more authority over land-use decisions, Bowie Mayor G. Frederick Robinson said.
"We are the largest city in the state of Maryland that is treated this way," Robinson said. He has lobbied in Annapolis for the city to have its own zoning authority since he was first elected mayor in 1998. "The municipalities in Montgomery County make these decisions on their own."
Bowie city officials say they are considering appealing the case. But on Thursday afternoon, it was unclear to Robinson whether an appeal was possible, because the case was decided without a vote.

FLSmidth has signed an agreement to acquire the two Australian service companies MIE Enterprises Pty Ltd. and Mayer Bulk Pty Ltd. The parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the transactions.
The two acquisitions will complement FLSmidth's regional Customer Services set-up with a highly-skilled workforce and full-service capabilities. The key markets of the two companies are currently the Australian and South East Asian mining industries.
MIE Enterprises and Mayer Bulk provide construction, commissioning, maintenance and repair services. MIE Enterprises serves the market for specialized mechanical services of high technical complexity, while Mayer Bulk expertise is centered on the design of mobile machines, cranes and material handling structures.
"Combined with our current set-up and recent acquisition of Australian Ludowici these acquisitions further accelerate the development of FLSmidth's regional Customer Services capabilities, offering a unique combination of service foot print and skills—which makes FLSmidth one of the strongest service providers in Australia, while at the same time providing opportunities through FLSmidth's global footprint, to expand the acquired new expertise to other markets where the FLSmidth Group is active," said Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen.
MIE Enterprises was established in 2003. In 2011, the company acquired a majority share in Mayer Bulk to complete the range of services offered to its customers. The two companies together employ approximately 200 full time employees in service and construction, including 20 engineering staff, and are headquartered in Henderson and Sydney, respectively, in Australia.

The city suddenly found itself with a $1.8 million budget shortfall on Monday after state leaders changed how aid is given out to municipalities that host video lottery terminals, officials said.
Under the new formula introduced in the state budget, municipalities with racinos will now receive aid based on their poverty rates, said Matt Anderson, a state Division of Budget spokesman.
The new way of calculating the VLT aid means that the city will lose $1.8 million – roughly five percent of its revenue – and Saratoga County will not get $1.1 million that they had budgeted for this year. The city and county are the only municipalities of 17 in the state to lose all their VLT assistance under the new terms of the program.
"We're now going to have to revisit our entire budget and rethink every position, every expenditure," Finance Commissioner Kenneth Ivins said.
State leaders had told the city in November that it would get half of the roughly $3.6 million in VLT aid it once received. That changed.
"At a time of fiscal difficulty, all municipalities and levels of government have to be able to reevaluate their spending in reaction to changing circumstances," Anderson said.
Under the new aid formula, municipalities with a poverty rate of 50 percent or lower than the statewide average are eliminated from the program. Those with poverty rates of 50-75 percent will receive 50 percent of what they got last year, and municipalities with a poverty rate of 75 percent above the statewide average will get all of their payment, Anderson said.

It's been the worst kept secret on Fox for weeks now, but that doesn't make it any less exciting:
On March 8, Gwyneth Paltrow returns to Glee as Holly Holiday. The actress, whose first appearance highlighted my favorite episode of the season, is booked on two installment, as she'll take over a sex education class and cozy up to Will.
Although not featured in the following promo for "Sexy," John Stamos also reprises the character of Dr. Carl, while this picture makes it look like Burt will try to bond with his son over Kurt's sexual orientation. Check out the official Fox trailer now:

Zimbabwe: The Slide Stops in NairobiJanuary 27, 2009
Despite claims to the contrary by satisfied officials, Zimbabwe did not pass the subcontinental test in Bangladesh. But neither did they fail, largely thanks to the dogged pitches the team found in the now gone and forgotten tour of Bangladesh.
Pitches in Sri Lanka especially, and much of the subcontinent, have always seemed to have been held together by sawdust and glue; but even by these middling standards, the ones seen recently in the tri-nations and one-day series by Bangladesh and Zimbabwe were exceptionally awful.
Therein lies the challenge. Bad pitches lead to questioning of batsmen. Skilled ones, and those willing to apply themselves, answer them.
In this series, however, quietly forgotten and shunted aside by other greater cricket achievements in Australia and Pakistan, nobody could answer them. Premier batsman Sean Williams was quite off-color, leaving his average best for late; and the dashing Mohammad Ashraful sparkled, only to extinguish very early.
Shakib Al Hassan, now the world's best batsman, could have been outstanding had he been challenged more often; but the totals chased always proved far too small for his considerable talents.
For the last ranked team in Test cricket, the challenges remain formidable.
The retirement of 14 senior players all at once and the horrible disappointment of losing Sean Ervine and Tinashe Panyangara are far more grave setbacks than can usually be recognized in the day to day contest of a Test.
Kenya have had theirs, mind you, as key players Maurice Odumbe and Thomas Odoyo finally succumbed to the inevitable Asian fiefdoms-cum-gambling squads a few seasons ago, and Bangladesh too; but as the latter have done, Zimbabwe will at some point have to dust them up and salvage the broken pieces they have had to make do with since.
But for now, finely tuned from the most testing pitches in Bangladesh, and after enduring a contest in between against Sri Lanka, the Chevrons of Zimbabwe are well-poised to dominate the coming five-match one-day series against Kenya.
But first they will have to contend with one Steve Tikolo, Masai of Nairobi.
Twelve years after making his debut in Cuttack against India back in 1996, the 37-year-old, now in the twilight of his career, is still the bedrock of Kenyan cricket.
Stephen Ogonji Tikolo, and no other, is to Kenya what Andy Flower was to Zimbabwe.
After leading his country to a semifinals place in the cricket World Cup six years ago in South Africa, the former Sussex player remains surely the best batsman in modern era never to have played Test cricket.
With a First Class average of 51, Tikolo is three runs higher than the celebrated Murray Goodwin in Zimbabwe, and has 14 more than the lamentable Grant Flower, at more or less the same strike. Given a go at it, with arguably a more solid technique than his peers above, who knows what heights the nuggetty batsman might have scaled in the even and sedate pace of Test cricket.
It was Tikolo's 102 runs in the team's contest against Zimbabwe that proved the difference.
If anybody stands between victory and redemption for the Zimbabweans, it is the Masai.

This busy mama trains like a scattered, run when you can, do what you can, mom to three little boys. I have the knowledge, know how, and resources to train like one bad @$$ mother runner… I just have a list of excuses a mile long as to why I haven't followed an official training plan the past few months.
A few weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to review the latest book by Dimity and Sarah, Train Like a Mother. They are the authors of the famous Run Like a Mother that I raved about last year.
This was such a fun and quick read that any mother runner who has trained for an event would enjoy. I found myself wanting to take my time as I read this book. Pausing at each chapter and training plan to really focus on what they were teaching
This book is cleverly divided up into 26.2 chapters, at the end of each chapter is a quick funny 0.1 where the authors give a little comic relief to their training.
I found myself chuckling and giggling out loud as I read this book. My husband had to lean over in bed (yes, I read in bed) a few times to ask what I was giggling like a little school girl about a few times. Thank goodness he wouldn't get the woman humor we runners go through to train and experience at times.
If you are looking for some mother friendly training plans ranging from your first 5K race to rocking a PR on a marathon this book has plans for you!! And in simple, mommy friend brain, language that you can understand.
After reading this book from cover to cover, I am excited to implement and follow one (or ALL!?) their training plans to rock my running and fitness goals.
If you are a mother runner who would like some motivation or inspiration regarding training, this book is for you. If you are a running mother who has ever trained for a race and have experienced discomfort, training burn out or the like… this book is for you!
I highly recommend this book. Disclosure: I received this book for free for sole purpose to enjoy, read, and if I wanted to review to share with you I could. No compensation was received.

My Rebuttal to Rolling Stone's call to repeal 2nd Amendment
June 17, 2016 in Uncategorized
Here's a link to the article in question
The author of this article is either someone who is intellectually inferior or worse intellectually dishonest or knowingly spreading falsehood. I am not a constitutional scholar but I have read the damn thing and I have the internet. Let's go line by line or at least paragraph by paragraph. So right in the beginning this constitutional scholar states that the constitution created a "representative democracy" this alone pretty much discredits this source as one of any intellect or intellectual integrity. Nowhere in the document does the word democracy ever appear. It does explicitly state that it creates a Republican form of government. The constitution established a Constitutional Republic which is much different from a Representative Democracy.
He then tells you how the founders were wrong about things. He is correct about this… but then he gives an example which is beyond retarded. The founders were wrong because the VP used to be the second place presidential candidate. Keep in mind that there were no political parties and there was a need to establish some succession path in the event of the president vacating the office. What better choice than the second place presidential contender (usually of a field of 8 or more candidates). Yes. They were wrong for doing this (sarcasm). It wasn't until the advent of parties (a concept much reviled by many founders) that eventually the constitution was amended to change this policy. Either way the government functions and VP does nothing. What a stupid argument to attempt to demonstrate a black and white, right or wrong position by the founders.
On to slavery he criticizes the 20 year prohibition on amending the constitution to end the slave trade. To me this is very forward thinking of the founders. Keep in mind that without some concessions for the allowance of slavery there would be no constitution at all. This was obviously a negotiated position with the southern states. Note that it is not a permanent ban, only 20 years so by 1818 the constitution was already in line with today's mainstream thoughts as far as allowing for the abolition of slavery.
He then states that racism was hard coded by the founders in the famous 3/5 clause. Well I am sorry constitutional scholar but you apparently can't read. The 3/5th apportionment in the constitution applies to all non-Free men and non-indians. So this can be correctly inferred to being slaves. One must keep in mind though that there were many many white slaves in early America. No, not indentures servants but actual slaves. In fact just 10 years after the constitution was ratified England sold thousands of Irish slaves to the Americas after an insurrection in 1798. This is following nearly 300,000 estimated Irish were sold into slavery in the prior century (Approximately 1/5 the entire population of Irland). The derogatory term of Redneck originates as slang for the sunburned Irish slaves in the West Indies. So while this apportionment still isn't cool in our day and age because 100% slavery is considered not cool by the mainstream world it's not purely racist.
He off handedly mentioned two other problems with the constitution which should be fixed. Equal Rights for Women and Land area based representation in the senate. Holy shit really?? Mr. Scholar. There was an Equal Rights Amendment proposed in 1923 and passed in the 1970s. But it has stalled out in ratification. The interesting thing is why it has stalled out is that it is a net negative for American women. American woman are the most free and equal in the world already. Old school feminists realized slowly that true equality would only subject them to The Draft, Remove certain welfare benefits of being a woman etc. etc. All negatives when compared to reality of equal opportunity (and in the aforementioned cases preferential over males ) in the USA. In this way true equality is not desired
As far as the Land mass apportionment of the Senate I've never heard of this until now. Any "Constitutional Scholar" should know exactly why each state gets only 2 senators each. In fact this is a case where the founders had a more perfect system than we have now and history has shown that they were right in this case. Though the author would disagree with me, democratically elected Senators was basically a coup against the constitution. The federated power of the states was a big deal back then and the Senators were appointed by the state's representative bodies. These same locally elected bodies could recall a senator at any time if they acted against the interest of the state. The senators tended to be the best and most honored members of the state's own representative bodies. Now senators have no accountability to state legislatures. All they must do is win a general election once every 6 years. Now all that we have is a big House of Representatives and a Little One (the senate). This is a ridiculous situation from the view of the founders and this idea of apportionment due to land mass is an outgrowth of this original mistake made in 1913 to democratically elect Senators.
"In the face of yet another mass shooting, now is the time to acknowledge a profound but obvious truth – the Second Amendment is wrong for this country and needs to be jettisoned."
Ok people. Let's put on our thinking caps for just two sentences here. What is the most comparable event to this one which has happened most recently? Paris, France. I think that is fairly undisputedly true. Terrorists enter a night club with automatic weapons and explosives and begin to disassemble people for no good reason only about 9 months prior to this event. Did anyone call for France's 2nd amendment to be revoked? NO… because they already don't have one. In fact until this week Paris Police officers couldn't even carry their weapons home with them from their precinct. That is until an off duty policeman was stabbed by another extremist. So just this week while the left in the USA is called for the end to citizens carrying gun France, one of the most disarmed societies in the world, is loosening its restrictions. Albeit, not by much.
There is one common thread about all of these shootings. I am sure you've heard this before. They all occur in areas where guns are prohibited for one reason or another. You don't have to be super smart to see that Paris and Orlando are very similar. One thing they do not have in common is the 2nd amendment. People often say that correlation doesn't mean causation. Well we don't even have a correlation here with citizen gun ownership!!! But that is, according to left media and administration, absolutely the cause. We do have correlations with them being gun free zones, correlations with the religion of the gunmen, correlations with them all being 2nd generation refugees/middle eastern immigrants in their respective countries but these are not even be considered or discusses. No, it's ALWAYS and ONLY the AUTOMATIC WEAPONS that are to blame!!!
I find it so infuriating that the left uses every single one of these tragedies to push their political interest to disarm the American citizenry. It's really insulting to victims and their families that they are treated as pawns in the quest to further narrow the allowable activities of US residents. Please understand that the left does not want to get rid of guns. They want them all to themselves. They have never suggested disarming the police or their personal bodyguards. If Obama is so vehemently against automatic weapons why doesn't he set a precedent and lead the charge by removing them from the secret service agents? But I digress.
"The Second Amendment needs to be repealed because it is outdated, a threat to liberty and a suicide pact."
What exactly is it about the 2nd amendment that makes it outdated? He goes on:
"When the Second Amendment was adopted in 1791, there were no weapons remotely like the AR-15 assault rifle and many of the advances of modern weaponry."
If this argument succeeds then soon the argument will be "The founders never could have foreseen mass communication tools like TV and the internet where people can make hateful comments and have them instantly exposed to the whole world. Therefore I call for the 1st amendment to be repealed"
Scarily enough people are already saying things like this. The fact of matter is ALL of early the amendments are under attack. This attack on the 2nd amendment is part of a larger campaign by both the left and neocons to effectively remove them all. All they want left of the constitution and bill of rights is the General Welfare clause in the preamble.
Next is his example of how the 2nd amendment is a suicide pact. An interesting supposition to make after 200+ years of having a second amendment doesn't really seem to show this. Here is his paragraph:
"Just think of what would have happened in the Orlando night-club Saturday night if there had been many others armed. In a crowded, dark, loud dance club, after the shooter began firing, imagine if others took out their guns and started firing back. Yes, maybe they would have killed the shooter, but how would anyone else have known what exactly was going on? How would it not have devolved into mass confusion and fear followed by a large-scale shootout without anyone knowing who was the good guy with a gun, who was the bad guy with a gun, and who was just caught in the middle? The death toll could have been much higher if more people were armed."
First of all I don't believe it has been released yet if there were any casualties from the police raid which killed the terrorist. It is possible. So in any situation it's entirely possible to have the "good guys with guns" mess up. That aside, just think for a moment about the scenario. Say you had 5 guys with guns in the club. It's loud, and busy and now you as an armed person hear shots break out. Even if you can't see the source, say if another armed citizen has opened fire first and you can only see him shooting at someone. Your best course of action to is to draw your weapon and prepare it and take cover while you are not being actively shot at and assess the situation or vise versa. A human's first instinct in these crazy situations is well known to be to defend themselves and their immediate friends through fleeing or hiding anyways. Even armed individuals, excepting perhaps those with actual combat experience, wouldn't be so bold as to stand their ground immediately. Even if they were battle hardened they would be probably be wise to increase their personal odds of survival by obtaining a more strategic or defensible position even if people are dying all around them. Once you are more or less secure you can use the extra tools at your disposal to be a hero. If the aforementioned first shooter is successful he will promptly stop shooting. Things will calm down and triage can commence. These are things and scenarios you actually think about in advance if you carry a weapon. Granted you cannot prepare for all situations or even a small number of them. If you have a better view of the situation you can see two other people hiding behind bars shooting with hand guns at a guy loaded down with ammo and bombs and an assault rifle and you can pretty much figure it out. This is all speculation and purely hypothetical. Only educated guesses of how this scenario might play out from a different perspective from that of the author. Since all these mass shootings happen in gun free zones we don't know the answer. I would like to point out that the author's argument is also completely speculative for the exact same reasons. This being his best argument which he saved for last I think it is a pretty damn weak case for repealing one of the fundamental axioms of our Constitutional Republic on sheer speculation. To round out this section I'd also like to point out that the Paris attacker were also strapped with suicide vest and many of them were used in the end. It was reported that the Orlando terrorist also had a suicide bomb of some kind but either he did not use it or it failed to function. Either way I'm pretty certain that suicide vests are already illegal and it is way more difficult to stop a man who walks into a crowded place 'unarmed' and blows himself up. Whether there is a 2nd amendment or not doesn't matter as the threat is gone and the damage done. All without an assault rifle, but that's a non-issue, right?
His closing statement: "We need a mass movement of those who are fed up with the long-dead Founders' view of the world ruling current day politics. A mass movement of those who will stand up and say that our founding document was wrong and needs to be changed.[…] The Second Amendment must be repealed, and it is the essence of American democracy to say so."
Well that certainly is true since, again according to the document (and all supporting documentation) he is an "expert" in and "teaches for a living", the constitution does not establish a democracy. So his call to repeal the 2nd amendment is in line with his displayed aptitude on the subject and I'm sure it is the essence of whatever the hell he thinks he is talking about.

DENGUE fever continues to spread with 123 positive cases recorded nationwide in the first three days of this year.
According to figures provided by the Ministry of Health, the Central Division had 109 cases, the Western Division recorded 24 while the North had no cases for this period.
At the end of December last year, there were 283 cases.
Health spokeswoman Evlyn Mani said the high number of dengue cases in the Central Division, in particular for the capital, Suva, signified that the conditions for fostering rapid dengue transmission prevailed in Suva and the adjacent townships of Nausori and Navua.
"Because of the high likelihood of travel by our population from urban to rural areas during this festive period, it effectively puts the other health divisions (outside of the Central Health Division) at risk of importing dengue fever but it will depend on the density of the dengue-transmitting mosquito in those localities," she said.
"The breakdown of the dengue data in terms of gender indicates that males are slightly more affected compared to females.
"The age group predominantly affected are the 10-40 years old age category."
Reasons given by the Health Ministry for such high cases were high human population density in a defined locality, low population immunity to the circulating dengue strain and circulation of a new dengue strain or one that has not circulated in the country for a long while.
Also, fostering the effective transmission of dengue includes environmental conditions that support breeding of dengue transmitting mosquitoes and challenges in disposal of and destruction of mosquito breeding sites.
The Health Ministry urged members of the public to eliminate possible breeding grounds for dengue mosquito.

Lawrence Graham (LG) and Wragge & Co are in merger talks to create a £170m firm, partners were told today.
Wragge & Co senior partner Quentin Poole confirmed the talks, stating: "We have been open about our strategy and the fact that we are looking at opportunities to strengthen our ability to serve clients in strategic practice areas, sectors or locations, particularly in London."
He cited LG's real estate, equity capital markets, investment funds and private capital practices as the main attractions for the firm, and added: "We are exploring how clients might benefit from our two firms forming closer ties."
Wragge & Co began drawing up a list of London merger targets in 2009 and said at the time that financial services, private equity, property finance and property funds were top of the wish list (7 February 2009).
LG announced a sizeable drop in profitability this summer, with average profit per equity partner (PEP) sliding by 14 per cent between 2011/12 and 2012/13 to £260,000 (26 July 2013), while the firm's latest LLP results reveal an annual property bill is costing the firm £5.1m a year (4 February 2013).
The firm had been in talks about a tie-up with Field Fisher Waterhouse (FFW) but were called off last summer (28 June 2012). Sources at the time suggested that issues with LG's London-headquarters costs were problematic for FFW.
Managing partner Hugh Maule told The Lawyer in July that the firm was hoping for a significant boost to profitability at the end of the next financial year, after the firm sublet surplus office space to Bond Dickinson and an international property developer.
Wragges has long had an eye on the development its London base with Poole telling The Lawyer in 2009 that it was drawing up a list of London merger targets to boost its presence in the city (2 February 2009).
At the latest year-end the firm pushed turnover up 1.9 per cent to £120.5m, compared with a 7.5 per cent fall at LG from £56m to £51.8m. Wragges' average profit per equity partner (PEP) figures also outweighs LG, at £329,000 compared with £260,000 for LG.
Both firms have seen departures in recent months.
In April LG property litigation head Jane Fox-Edwards quit the firm to join Allen & Overy (12 April 2013), she was followed by pensions partner Ron Burgess who left for Olswang and white collar crime partner Eoin O'Shea who quit for Reed Smith.
Wragges was hit by DWF in Birmingham in August for real estate partner Toby Askin who joined the firm as practice head (28 August 2013).
In October, the firm moved to transfer a cohort of its support staff to third-party provider Intelligent Office, resulting in 26 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members opting to take voluntary redundancy (14 October 2013).
A vote is yet to be scheduled on the tie-up.

The $11.14 billion bond is actually more than a $22 billion bond when it is fully paid for by the taxpayers. It was billed as the bond to build water storage and save the Delta, but out of the entire bond less than half is set aside for the Delta and water storage projects – which may or may not be realized, and the rest goes to regional projects and good old fashioned pork.
The State will have to spend $500 -$800 million of the General Fund annually to service the debt incurred by the bond, should it pass. On top of the $20 billion deficit we're already facing next year, this means we'll have to make more cuts or raise taxes while papering over problems for future generations of Californians.
The State's credit card is maxed out and yet my colleagues passed an $11.14 billion bond for what amounts to less than $3 billion in potential bricks and mortar, which isn't much when you consider the fast rise of inflation and the slow pace of government to build anything on-time. This creates more litigation and less irrigation.
The next governor will select the members of the commission in charge approving any storage projects. If he is bent on obstructing dam construction, he can simply appoint environmental extremists who will prevent any attempts to fix our water storage problems. These members can then fritter away the money set aside for water storage, thus defeating the reason for passing a bond in the first place.
Many environmentalists supported this package because they want to stunt the growth of the state by shutting off the water spigot. In doing so, they are content with thousands of Californians leaving this state a year, instead of promoting sensible water policy and economic growth.
Now, whether or not California voters decide to pass this water bond, we're left with a state takeover of our water resources in the Delta, and little say in how it is managed. It essentially creates a Coastal Commission for the Delta.
Some are celebrating this package as a bipartisan compromise, but this deal simply highlights the dysfunction of this institution.
The Legislature declared there is a problem with the governance of the Delta, claiming there are too many agencies with overlapping jurisdiction, creating confusion and gridlock. But rather than streamlining these regulatory agencies, this Legislature "solved" the problem by creating an extra layer of bureaucracy to oversee the dozens of other bureaucracies.
After witnessing this year's budget fiasco, somehow I don't think the voters would agree that the problem with the State government is that it's not big enough. But that is exactly the message Sacramento sent by approving this water package.
This is the creation of the late night slight of hand politics that has become the norm in Sacramento. These dead of night "deals" end up in a lose—lose for everyone involved.
I did not support and will continue to oppose this deal, because it is bad for the Delta and worse for California.
— Assemblyman Bill Berryhill, R-Ceres, represents the 26th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Ceres, Denair, Escalon, Linden, Lockeford, Manteca, Modesto, Ripon, Stockton and Turlock.

Wow, this is outstanding! Even though it doesn't last long (really, I just don't want it to ever end), it really has a great sound! It's amazing how much the song changes in just two minutes time, but it gives off the same feeling the entire way through.
Truly a work of art.
i wish it was longer as well...
very, very good job! i love the piano the best. lol
5|5 10|10 wow!
piano is pretty sweet
Great Song! It Was So Beutiful! I Can't Belive Diz Betrayed The Kids In Riddle Transfer
This actually sounds very calming actually. Kind of makes you want to smile and feel happy to simply be yourself and go through another day of being glad that you are living at all. Really makes you feel good.
Kind of makes me think of the song Space Transmission by Miku Hatsune as well. The synth sounds nice and spacey here. Also kind of feels optimistic too. The bass line is simple and kind of makes me think of thunderstorms and rain outside and then you look and smile to see the rain out there.
The drums are very nicely done here as well. The outro was nice and calm like a rainbow after the storm had ended.
Overall, you did a great job on this tune. Good work.
well thank you much for your kind words
Simply... amazing.
Amazing is the only word I can find for this piece of music. Very relaxing, and touching even. I was angry when I first listened to this song, and this has calmed me down. I like songs that calm me down because I'm often angry at my dumb computer for crashing all the time. It has the soothing feel of nature after a thunderstorm. And it matched perfectly with Riddle Transfer!
Full of passion, emotion, etc.
Beauty... like a blooming flower
Everything... really.
This space should be blank, because there is nothing wrong with this song...
This song is amazing. I would like it if it was a little longer, though... but that doesn't change the score!
yeah, i would love to do another one like this but a bit more full-featured and longer...
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.

Top Secret Turkey Placemat
We all know about "Secret Santa," but how about "Top Secret Turkey?"
With Thanksgiving in the United States a mere three days away (what happened to the year, can someone tell me please??), we wanted to come up with a fun idea to celebrate being thankful. The children were talking about their fond memories of weaving construction paper placemats each year at their Montessori school to use at the school Thanksgiving feast, so we came up with a variation of the simple woven placemat that also incorporates thankfulness.
This is pretty easy and works for all ages. Totally doable with younger children (if they can't cut well yet, you can precut the strips) or with teenagers if they'll agree to it. Mine did because they wanted to make the placemat of their memories and honestly, we had a lot of silly fun along the way.
The basics you will need are construction paper, scissors, and something to write with. We used colored Sharpies.
1) Choose your paper colors. We used red, yellow, orange, and brown to represent fall. Orient the sheets of paper vertically and use a ruler to mark off one inch increments.
2) Using the guide dots, cut the papers into one inch strips. They don't have to be perfect. I actually think it looks better if they aren't.
3) Arrange the strips in rows in a pattern if you like patterns (I am a pattern kind of person) or random if that suits you better! Experiment with the number of strips you will need of each color to achieve the size that you want. We used four strips each of our four colors (so we had some left over).
4) Tape the very top of the papers to the table using a long strip of tape to hold them in place (LESSON LEARNED: We used Scotch Tape and it was quite difficult to remove from the table afterwards, masking tape would be much easier).
5) Now you can begin weaving. Very little ones will need help with this. Follow the same pattern you used with the vertical strips or make a new one.
6) Now get a glue stick or some white glue and glue underneath each top flap at the edge all the way around the mat.
Unstick the tape from the table and flip the mat over. Fold over the taped flap to easily stick down that edge. Then repeat same gluing process as first side along the remaining edges of the mat.
7) Cut off the extra bits that are hanging off.
Now for the Top Secret part!
Put all the placemats in a pile. Before your meal, have everyone at the Thanksgiving table draw a name out of a hat to determine who's Top Secret Turkey they will be. Next have each person take a random placemat and write on the back of the placemat something they are thankful for about the person who's name they drew. On the front of the placemat, they should write that person's name. If you are concerned with handwriting being a giveaway, prepare stickers with all the names ahead of time (either computer printed or all written by the same person). Set the table with the placemats. An added bonus is that the names will serve as place markers so everyone knows where to sit.
At some point before, during or after the meal, have everyone turn over their mat and read the nice comment. Each person can then try to guess who is his or her Top Secret Turkey! It's a fun game that leaves everyone feeling happy and appreciated!
Here are two other thankful-related projects that you might enjoy:

The Somerville Public Library is doing something no other public library has done before. In a partnership with the Harvard Library Innovation Lab, the SPL is the first public library to have an "Awesome Box."
Awesome Boxes are located near the regular return area in each library. If you have particularly enjoyed a book, CD, movie, or any other item, you can return that item to the Awesome Box and it will then be listed on the library's Awesome Box page (http://somerville.awesomebox.io/).
If something on the page interests you, click on the item and the site will send you to the Library's catalog, where you can read more about the item, find out if it's currently available, and place a hold on it. So library users can share what they find interesting and discover what their neighbors enjoy.

Chasing Rainbows
- Artist: JB Holloway
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 12/17/2002
JB Holloway has a style that's refreshingly unique and commercial. Chasing Rainbows is full of hits. Album cuts range from lush Pop Ballads to Rock, Techno, and Dance with richly layered harmonies, electrifying guitar leads, moving orchestral passages, sizzling synthesizers, and heart thumping percussion. This album is sure to please generations to come. Caroline Birman; HitMusic Review Another top JB classic hit Chasing Rainbows has very pleasant sounding harmonic texture. Right up there with one of his best songs, it is certainly a top JB classic hit. The 'in search of life' distant echo (2X) is very effective and the brevity of the piece is uniquely charming. The bridge section is another excellent Hollowesque key modulation that brings all of us to a whole new world. The last forte chord on the piano carries much hope and faith in it's placement. Chalk another one up my friend! It's a keeper! 'Don't Let A Fire Start' is yet again another flawlessly crafted JB Holloway hit. He has repeatedly shown his complete mastery of the perfectly composed Psychedelic Flower-Pop tune! With his easily remembered melodic turns of phrases, and his sudden modulations to distant key changes, JB has somehow been able to spin out a seemingly endless supply of these very 'hooky' classics. Though my favorite is currently 'Me Without You,' this one can stand proudly within his, no doubt, formidably large group of delightfully successful ditties! Each one is a keeper! What Opus number are you now on Maestro? Keep em' comin'! Andrew Clement Pappert; iuma.com Europop Sensation!! David Diggs; Pat Boone Enterprises.

So I'm sitting behind Mike and Dan Gradzewicz up in the balcony of whatever the FleetCenter is called these days. The Bruins are playing Toronto, and we all wonder why anyone would pay $95 for a seat near the ice. Somehow, the subject of soccer comes up. Both look like they've just sucked a lemon.
''You've got to get hurt," says Dan, a 22-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell who skated for Methuen High, dismissing munchkins who kick a ball while their mothers sip bottled water on the sidelines.
Dan and his older brother, Mike, 31, are hard-core Bruins fans. They live hockey. (Dan informs me apropos of nothing that Craig MacTavish was the last pro in the NHL to play without a helmet.) They split season tickets with two other guys. Drive from Methuen and leave their car at the T in Medford because parking's so absurd around the Garden.
(About the TD Banknorth Garden: Now that the elevated Green Line tracks are down, people on Causeway Street can see the structure for what it is: a big, bald wall of pale concrete so ugly that its architect should do hard time at Cedar Junction.)
These are scary days for the Bruins, who labor feverishly to hold fans like this pair and attract new ones after the league's suicidally dumb non-season last year. The effort is a Catch-22, because changes to seduce the new risk alienating the old. So what's the answer?
''More fights and more scoring," intones Dan in a refreshing burst of political incorrectness.
We live in a soft and shiny age when fighting is no longer the marquee attraction it once was. Fisticuffs, by all accounts, are way down this year, and the referees are calling more penalties for holding and hooking. Fine. But let's be clear here: Fighting is bad for the game not because it offends the squeamish but because it's boring. Just go to a Beanpot game to see great hockey played without the inanities.
The lone fight of the night broke out a mere 2:15 into Thursday's game. Three refs stood around watching the slugfest as if they were observing a guy repair a window sash. The crowd rose in a deep, primitive roar, reminding me again that hockey fans really are direct descendants of a missing link in Africa's Rift Valley.
Anyway, we're talking about the ad campaign on the Garden monitor that features ''What's old is new again" and ''The Bruins are the drumbeat of a tribe that's Boston" and ''Not the glitz but the grit." The question is, absent a Stanley Cup, whether the Bruins make it in Boston in an era of Super Bowl and World Series rings.
The answer entails another question: Which Boston? The Boston of Bobby Orr, when every kid seemed to have skated on black pond ice in the late afternoon until he lost all feeling in his hands and feet? The Boston when the Red Sox and Patriots were horrible and there was no Tom Brady or Johnny Damon to dominate the sports pages? When the parochial symbiosis of Irish and Brahmin still held sway and dining options ranged from the Ritz to Locke-Ober?
Or what's called The New Boston, where South Asians and South Americans contribute to an ethnic mix inconceivable in 1972, the last time the Bruins won the cup. That would be two years before busing began here, two years before Mike Gradzewicz was even born.
In The New Boston, the Bruins are a tough sell. Their only hope for salvation is to win, over and over and over, into the playoffs. Victories are their traction against the Sox and Pats. (Forget the Celtics. They're even further in the weeds.) Walk around Boston these days and listen for Bruins chatter. You won't hear any. They are simply not part of the vocabulary of this town in 2005.
Part of the problem is the absence of a star. In this critical early period of the season -- Thursday's game was only the fourth at home since the season began on Oct. 5 -- a hero would help. The Bruins have none. Joe Thornton is a sputtering candle next to the klieg lights of Brady and Manny. They say Patrice Bergeron will be huge. Maybe.
It would help if the Bruins were good, but they're not. After a sketchy 2-1 win over Toronto, their record was 1-5-1 in their division. In plain English, they'd won one and lost five, but the crazy new scoring system awards points for new overtime ties. (Hence the final 1.) There's now a five-minute, four-man overtime followed by a shoot-out from the red line until someone wins.
These are gimmicks, pure and simple, by a desperate league. Hockey is a team sport, and teams should win or lose a game. So play sudden death as a team after a regulation tie. Period. That said, other changes loosening rules around passing and offsides have created a faster, more open game to everyone's delight. At its essence, hockey is an unmatched blend of speed and violence.
The Bruins are invisible to most Bostonians today. They play a retro sport that I happen to love, but the throaty cheers of fans who came out in robust fashion Thursday will not suffice in the long run.
The Bruins were the first US team in the NHL. Boston has rich hockey DNA. Again, the question is, which Boston?

AR-15 Pistol Buffer Tubes
We offer two different types of pistol buffer tubes for your AR-15 pistol build. Both are extremely durable and it really comes down to personal preference. We also offer a crenellated butt cap that will fit either model and foam covers.
AR-15 Pistol buffer tube w/o gusset, Model PB01
This AR-15 pistol buffer tube is a simple, robust solution to equipping your AR-15 pistol economically without sacrificing quality. It is CNC machined from aircraft quality aluminum, hard coat black anodized and designed for use with any standard end plate.
Some buffer tubes on the market require that you modify the lower receiver by tapping the detent spring hole and inserting a small, socket set screw to retain the spring. In addition to that, those buffer tubes will not allow you to use an end plate of any type so your sling attach points are very limited. A final drawback is that they leave the end of your lower receiver exposed and since it is aluminum, it is much more likely to take damage than a steel end plate would.
With our buffer tube you simply choose the end plate you want to use and assemble it like you would any other lower. This allows you to keep your original end plate or replace it with one that has single or ambidextrous type sling attachment loops like the one shown in the pictures below.
This buffer tube will also accept our Striker crenellated butt cap as shown in the above pictures, it is sold separately as an option.
AR-15 Pistol buffer tube with gusset, Model PB02
Our premium AR-15 buffer tube does not require an end plate. It has a machined gusset that replaces the plate, adds strength to the entire assembly, eliminates the risk of the threads backing out and provides a right or left hand sling attach point.
CNC machined from aircraft quality aluminum and hard coat black anodized, this buffer tube is the ultimate rear end for your AR-15 pistol. This AR-15 buffer tube comes with an Uncle Mikes sling swivel mount and screw to block the hole not being used.
This buffer tube will also accept our Striker crenellated butt cap, sold separately as an option.
Let's hope you are never faced with the situation of using the butt end of your pistol as a weapon. However, should the need arise, our Striker butt cap would definitely leave an impression on an aggressor... literally!
This crenellated butt cap is designed to replace the standard butt cap on both of our AR-15 Pistol buffer tubes. It is CNC machined from aircraft quality aluminum and has a hard coat, black anodized finish. Add the final touch to your AR-15 pistol and make the butt end nearly as lethal as the front!

Two years ago, my friend James McNally came up with the idea to make a concerted effort to finally scratch particular titles off his "movies to see" list, and he inspired many of us to do the same. Now even though James couldn't complete the mission that he himself set out to do, he still came up with a great idea.
By keeping the tally to a mere dozen films, he made it a watchlist that was both enjoyable and attainable…as opposed to drawing up a to-see list of, say, fifty.
Of the twenty-two films I've watched these last two years, I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every last one, and that several of them deeply endeared themselves to me immediately. You have to love it when that happens – when you watch a classic film and end up asking yourself "How have I never seen this before?"
Likewise, I'm really impressed that several of my brothers and sisters in arms joined in on the project. I'm hoping that some of them will keep the project going and choose a new dozen films. I'm even more hopeful that some of the other movie-lovin' bloggers who frequent this space will set out a dozen of their own to dig through in 2014! In case you're new to the whole idea, here's the skinny:
I intend to post my entries on the final Tuesday of every month, and at the bottom of each post, will likewise link to anyone else who is participating in the series. So if you want to partake, drop me an email (ryanatthematineedotca) when it's up and I'll make sure you get linkage at month's end.
Last year, I put the power in the hands of my readers by allowing them to pick what I watched. Next year, I'm going back to choosing my own twelve (including an entire trilogy to cap things off). I'll revisit the voting idea in the future, but for now I want to move a few to the front burner. Here's what I'll be watching…

[RMVXA] Tankentai SBS+Full English
Posted 24 April 2012 - 06:22 PM
This does NOT include VX Ace RTP. You must have that installed already.
Full English
Tankentai's SBS script
All graphics,pictures, etc needed for his script.
The best thing to do is just use this demo folder as a new project. If you're using Jap or partial English translation version and want full English with his SBS then do that. If you just want to translate part of the database from an already started project just copy paste the right files in the Data folder. These are all RTP files with no additional chars,weapons,armor, etc. The SKILLS data file has some extra skills in it needed for Tankentai's SBS.
Hope this does some good for someone. Just trying to give to the community.

If you are using another game and you are adding this script to your own,
make sure you replace the "\Data\Animations.rvdata2" (Basically have the new animations.) with your own.

caapi vine- Ayahuasca, yagè, hoasca
(Malphigaceae) Ayahuasca is a term from Quechua, a South
American Indian language and translating from huasca meaning
"vine" or "liana" and aya meaning "souls" or "dead people"
or "spirits" the name reads as "vine of the souls", "vine
of the dead" or "vine of the spirits".
Some paye's maintain that with caapi they can cause eclipses
of the moon, tornadoes or control the weather.
The Guahiko Indians of the upper Orinoco basin of Colombia
& Venexuela have been observed to chew the dried stems
of the ayahuasca vine and there is scant evidence of the
use of Banisteriopsis snuffs and enemas. The Witoto Indians
have also been seen at times to smoke the dried leaves
and bark.
The Ayahuasca plant and brew have such a vast and rich
native mythology in South America that there can be little
doubt that it's use stretches back a millennia and is
surely one of the most important esoterical botanicals
Sold as a poisonous non-consumable for ornamental or identification purposes only.

No one was home this morning when a fire started in a two-story rental home four miles south of Lawrence.
Wakarusa Township firefighters received the call at 9:37 a.m. for the home in the 900 section of E. 1500 Road, on the George Dairy and Farm.
"We found nobody. We had reports early on that nobody was in the house, confirmed by telephone and our own search," said John Mathis, assistant fire chief for Wakarusa Township.
Mathis said the fire started near ground level and the heat may have broken windows on the second story.
Firefighters from several departments in the county - as far away as Lecompton Township - responded to fight the blaze.
Mathis said first-response, volunteer units call for help early.
Because fewer volunteers are available during the day for the township fire departments, they needed the extra bodies to fight the fire in waves, he said.
Firefighters from Eudora city and township, Palmyra, Kanwaka, Willow Springs, Baldwin, Lecompton and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical responded.
No cause or damage amount was available this morning as the investigation continues, Mathis said. Significant smoke and burn damage was visible from outside the home.

Wuliangye, China's number one selling spirit launched in Sydney at a spectacular event held at the Star. VIPs and media were treated to a gala black tie evening with cocktails and canapés on arrival, a three course dinner interspersed with violinists, presentations and entertainment including drummers and lion dancers, an opera singer, tango dancers and rappers on stage.

Wuliangye Tasting Notes
Wuliangye (WU = five, LIANG = grain, YE = liquor) is a luxury white spirit from China made from a blend of five organic ingredients, broomcorn, glutinous rice, rice, wheat and corn delivering a unique aroma and taste. The spirit was originally created during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) using Yibin's local spring, the purest water sourced from the Sichuan province. Wuliangye is distilled in a subtropical climate with year round average temperatures of 18oC and 85% humidity.
Wuliangye (52% ABV) is crystal clear in colour and markedly viscous in the glass, with small beads forming above the rim. On the nose, it is highly pungent with a marked nose burn indicative of its high ABV. Once accustomed to the nose prickle, fruity and estery aromas emerge. On the palate, there is marked fruitiness mainly pineapple notes, liquorice, with savoury elements, soy sauce and a distinct dryness. The finish is very dry, long and lingering with alcohol burn.
China's number one selling spirit is a luxury product and comes in a 500 ml bottle with anti-counterfeiting technology on its packaging, much like what is done with paper currency.
Just like Moutai, China's other luxury white spirit, Wuliangye is enjoyed by the elite who sip it neat or enjoy it with food. While it may be challenging to the unaccustomed western palate, it is well worth trying in cocktails and with food.
Wuliangye Cocktails
Three cocktails featuring Wuliangye were served on arrival. Created by bartender Alex Dickson of the newly-open Raven's Eye bar in Newtown, each cocktail highlighted different notes of the spirit without masking its flavour.
Beijing Blush was made with Wuliangye, pineapple juice, lychee juice, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, shaken and served up in a martini glass garnished with 2 lychees on a skewer. See recipe for Wuliangye Beijing Blush here.
The Five Grain Goddess featured Wuliangye with white crème de cacao, fresh lemon juice, 2 dashes of chocolate bitters, egg white, shaken and served over ice garnished with chopped chocolate and lime wedge.
The Panda's Paw had Wuliangye, Disaronno, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, a whole mint sprig, 2 dashes of absinthe, shaken up with the mint, fine strained and served over ice and garnished with a mint sprig.
Wuliangye and Food
The Star's Executive Chef Uday Huja created an elaborate a three course dinner designed to complement the flavours of Wuliangye.
For the entrées, the Slow Braised Chinese Pork Belly with Abalone and Pickled Radish was based on the pineapple notes of Wuliangye, a pairing that worked very well in cutting through the fatty pork belly as well as the fruity notes of the spirit. The Five Spice Duck Breasts, Daikon Fondant, Scallop Wonton & Star Anise Glaze was based on the warming aspects of Wuliangye and winter with the use of five spice and star anise highlighting the liquorice notes of the spirit.
For the main course, the Steamed Grouper with Carrot Ginger Puree, Surf Clams, Aged Ham Glaze & Dried Scallops was seared then flambéed with Wuliangye while the Grass Fed Beef Fillet, Wok Tossed Wild Mushrooms, Soy Truffle Sauce & Lotus Root was chosen to highlight the luxury elements of a premium beef fillet and truffles, the latter pairing remarkably well with the spirit.
Dessert was a Mango Pudding with Earl Grey Ice Cream & Cinnamon & Carmelita Beignets, picking up on the pineapple flavour profile of Wuliangye.
Wuliangye is distributed by the Ettason Group and comes in a 500ml bottle priced around $200.
Wuliangye's launch event was held on Friday 3 July 2015 at the Star in Sydney.

March/April 2011 Letters to the Editor
You Loved…
..."The New Way to Diet," by Nicci Micco, which looked at the new technology and tools to make dieting easier:
I actually loved this article, thank you. It's simple and honest. It takes years to master a good food relationship and I have found working with nutritionists and personal trainers throughout my life to have helped the most.
——Liz (blog comment)
I use the Lose It! app on my iPhone. It has helped with keeping a food diary. You can also modify it to how much you want to lose per week. Halfway through I had to change that, because I plateaued. But it worked. I achieved my target weight after that. My clothes fit me the way they used to now.
——Adela (blog comment)
..."Odes to the Things I Can No Longer Enjoy on My Damned Diet"
I keep laughing every time I read this [Colin Nissan's Nourish column].
—amedling (via eatingwell.com)
...Sweet Potato & Black Bean Chili
When I think of chili, I think of winter. The sweet potatoes in this version help bring the chili into the milder seasons. I will be making good use of this recipe.
—meghanmsteinacker (via eatingwell.com)
You Hated…
..."The New Way to Diet"
Maybe I'm just getting cynical, but I don't see how making everything digital improves it. I'm all for finding new ways to lose weight, but writing it in a complex form online instead of on paper doesn't make it any cooler, more fun or more effective to me. Sigh... I guess we're all stuck with boring old diet and exercise after all!
—raflorsheim (via eatingwell.com)
You Wondered Why…
I was surprised that in "How Healthy Is Soy Really?" [Fresh & Nutritious] there is no mention of the ongoing debates about genetically modified soy. About 85% of the soybeans grown in the U.S. are genetically modified. I have a hard time finding anything in a grocery store that doesn't have soy or soy products listed as an ingredient. We are consuming it in most any [nonorganic] prepared or processed food. It should at least be an educational opportunity for your readers to understand that there is a difference between GMO and non-GMO crops.
Ultimately, we need to think carefully about what we eat, now that we live in a world where we do not grow or raise our food in our own backyards. It's our responsibility to make informed choices about the food we eat, however we need the information first.
—Jessica Sandoval (via e-mail)
Editors' reply: We could not agree more. Please see our feature on this very topic—"Is This the Food of the Future?"
EatingWell poll results:
If the FDA approves and labels genetically engineered (GE) salmon and verifies it is safe for human health, would you eat it?
12% Yes, it will make healthy salmon more affordable
84% No, we already have too many GE foods
3% Other
59% of people on Eatingwell.com say that the most important thing they look for when they buy food is that it is GMO-free.
