Random Movies: Best to Worst
The Favourite
The Favourite is a courtly intrigue where the three main players are in a lesbian love triangle that each of them tugs on as they struggle for power. The power struggle is super interesting, even if it's a little bit confusing, and it illustrates something kind of timely about the trade-offs between having the power to force your will on others and having the power stop other people from forcing their will on you.
There's this really didactic scene about half way through that explains how Emma Stone's character values safety above all else because she's used to being beaten and abused, whereas Rachel Weisz's character, who's always been relatively safe, is willing to risk her safety to gain more influence. The way things actually play out is messier than that, but the tension between wanting safety and wanting influence is something exists in all of us and that also exists in political systems – which is why it makes sense that this story is taking place in a royal court.
It's really, really interesting, and Olivia Colman gives an insanely good performance, and, now that I've had time to think about it, I can't wait to watch it again.
Sorry to Bother You
I wish I hadn't known the ending before I watched this. The main character is a black telephone sales agent who gets advice to speak with a white-sounding voice so that white people will buy from him. Changing his voice is step one of a Faustian bargain with white capitalists that has more and more extreme, disastrous consequences at every stage, until things take a magic realist/horror movie turn right at the end.
It's super original and super political and Tessa Thompson has very, very cool, photogenic styling in it.
What We Do in the Shadows
This is a really well-known mockumentary about a group of vampires who have a flatshare in New Zealand. There are plans to make a spin-off TV series, so people have been talking about it again. The reason I hadn't watched it until now is that I like my vampires serious, but I have to admit that a lot of the jokes are really funny.
Avengers: Infinity War
This was a lot more watchable than I thought it was going to be, mostly because of the jokes. I kind of wish the whole movie had been from Thanos' perspective instead of jumping between a frillion different characters and plot lines. I kind of wonder what it's like to be part of the cohort of actors who have all played some kind of super something in a comic book movie. I kind of wonder why Doctor Strange couldn't just destroy the time stone and save everyone at the very beginning. DON'T EXPLAIN IT TO ME.
This is a much different movie than I thought I was getting into, but I like it more because of that. Beast kind of presents itself as if it's a love story between a timid church girl and the misunderstood outsider who sees how special she is, but, as it goes on, you slowly realize that it's actually about why women, in particular, end up feeling like they have to forgive men for doing really awful things.
It's partly because of casual day-to-day misogyny (which is dramatized pretty well), and partly because of a black-and-white morality that creates false equivalency between any two people who've ever done anything wrong, no matter what they actually did. The church girl has been raised to believe that she's a bad person – and she can point to one specific thing she's done that genuinely does sound bad – so she decides she has to forgive her shitty, abusive outsider boyfriend for all the bad things he does, since she's no better than he is.
It's hard to explain what's so interesting about that without giving spoilers, but Beast is saying something I've never heard a movie say before. It sometimes says that thing in a clumsy way, but it deserves some points for originality.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post
This is a well-made film, but I don't think I'm the right audience for it. The story is about a teenage girl who's sent to one of those awful degayification schools, and the central argument the film's trying to make is that it's abusive, in and of itself, to teach gay kids that they're bad people because they're gay. Which… I already wholeheartedly agree with. I didn't even realize there was a debate.
However, what I've realized is that, because I've never been part of any organized religion, I really don't know what it's like to be part of a hate church and suddenly realize you might be the thing your church hates. And I feel like the movie might speak more to people who have had to struggle with a conflict between their religion and their morality at some point.
It's not bad. It just seems obvious to me. And it also has the thing I hate most, which is the thing where the characters start singing and dancing along with the radio in the middle of a Serious Important movie, so we can understand that they have fun. If I had more time on my hands, I'd make a supercut of all the times I've seen that just in the past three years.
Bird Box
The concept of Bird Box is really scary, but not something that lends itself to film, so the actual movie is kind of a mixed bag. Basically, there's a demon wandering around, and looking at it makes you go insane and kill yourself. That means that the main characters have to make sure they can never ever see the demon that's trying to make them kill themselves, so they all walk around with blindfolds like it's Nier Automata.
That's really creepy, and it probably makes sense in the book this movie is based on, but it also creates a problem for the movie in that the audience always necessarily has to have a better view of what's happening than the characters do. Even though we don't see the demon, we see everything else scary that's happening while people have their eyes closed and, instead of building the suspense, it often calms things down. At the same time, it's not an option to have a total blackout when the characters are blindfolded, because they're using tactile sensations to give them information about the world, and it doesn't seem like it would be possible to communicate that information to us if we couldn't see it.
That said, there are some really good scenes in this film, mostly involving future!Sandra Bullock and two blindfolded kids she's trying to lead down the river. The way we're slowly taught to understand their situation, and the reality that Sandra Bullock's planning to kill the kid she likes least in order to save the one she likes most, is masterful storytelling. It's really tense and uncomfortable, and the very best part of the movie.
Bad Times at the El Royale
I feel like this might have been an interesting play, if it were being performed live, but it's kind of a boring movie. The idea is that a bunch of strangers check into a weird hotel where the concierge is spying on them, and they all have some kind of Big Secret that comes out one way or another as the night goes on. For example – and this is something the trailer reveals – Jeff Bridges' character is a criminal impersonating a priest.
I really like the idea. I think it's absolutely delicious to get a bunch of shady, secretive strangers together in a weird hotel and have murder and mayhem ensue. Just, for me, the slow-paced pulp/noir execution doesn't work. Though, again, I do feel like, if you had a group of actors in the room with you, and they were doing the exact same things, at the exact same pace, it would feel more urgent.
I Feel Pretty
This is not as offensive as it seems like it's going to be, based on the trailers. The premise is that Amy Schumer's character gets hit on the head and wakes up believing she looks like a model. The advertising pitches the movie as if the main point is that she thinks she looks better than she does, and, while there are a few scenes that play that way, mostly the point is "She forgets to hate herself."
It's not executed perfectly – like, for some reason, her big discovery that she looks good enough the way she is is used to help her sell makeup – but it's touching on something that's real and vulnerable and sincere – we hate ourselves, and we hate the way we look, and we've been taught to do that our whole lives, and wouldn't it be amazing if we could just stop?
The Spy Who Dumped Me
I don't really remember this very well except that it wasn't as funny as I wanted it to be. It also seemed like it was occupying this really specific awkward, relatable spy genre, where the most obvious comparison is Spy, and that reminded me that Spy was a funnier movie. It also occupies the genre where yelling makes something a joke.

New Combination of 2 Older Drugs Helps People Lose Weight
Patients' blood pressure, cholesterol improved
An experimental weight-loss drug that combines two older medications helped people drop pounds without suffering severe side effects, according to a report on a large, year-long clinical trial published online Sunday in the medical journal Lancet.
See also: 10 ways to fool yourself into losing weight.
About 70 percent of U.S. adults are overweight; of those, 34 percent are obese. Despite epidemic rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes, there are still few options for men and women who need help to lose weight and keep it off. Federal officials, while acknowledging the need for weight-loss drugs, have rejected several new diet pills in the past year, citing concerns about possible long-term risks in this new generation of meds meant to be taken not for a few weeks but for months or even years.
The most common side effects the study participants experienced were dry mouth, a pins-and-needles sensation, constipation, insomnia, dizziness and a metallic taste. The study also found that patients on the higher-dose combo were at increased risk of depression (a problem affecting 7 percent of these patients) and anxiety (8 percent). This was not the case for patients on the lower dose, but the authors advise a "cautious approach" in using the drug combination for people with mood disorders.
Topiramate alone, especially at higher doses, has been associated with both depressive mood changes and memory problems. Phentermine by itself can boost blood pressure, an effect not seen with the combination.
Doses of phentermine given in the study were about a quarter to half the typical dosage, says lead author Kishore M. Gadde, M.D., of Duke University Medical Center. The highest dose of topiramate in the study was less than a quarter of what's usually prescribed for epilepsy.
In addition to the reduced dosages, the fact that the drugs work in different ways and have some opposing effects may help minimize unwanted symptoms. "Phentermine is stimulating," says Gadde, "and topiramate can cause fatigue. It's often taken in the evening or at night because it could put people to sleep, while the phentermine can cause insomnia. So some of these side effects could cancel each other out."
Earlier efforts to develop topiramate alone as a weight-loss drug were abandoned because of side effects.
Phentermine, meanwhile, is familiar to many as one-half of the 1990s weight-loss combo "fen-phen" that caused serious heart-valve abnormalities. But it was the other half of the combo, fenfluramine, that was identified as the culprit and banned in 1997. Phentermine remains the most commonly prescribed weight-loss drug today. It was approved by the FDA in 1959 as a short-term diet aid, the most common approach to obesity at the time. The current study examined its effects over a year, the longest period to date.
The study was sponsored by the drugmaker Vivus, which hopes to sell the combination in a gradual-release capsule under the brand name Qnexa. Last October the FDA rejected the company's application to market Qnexa, requesting more information establishing that it poses no risk to the heart or to the fetus in pregnancy. The company expects to file a new application by the end of the year.
The only drug currently approved as a long-term aid in weight loss, Orlistat, works by blocking fat absorption; results have not been as strong as those seen in the phentermine-topiramate study.

Hi, I see that the development of daily builds and new feature adds seems to be slowing down a lot from what it used to be. Is Corona SDK still healthy or is development winding down? For a long time there seemed to be lots of daily builds just focused on HTML 5 also, and I'm not sure if that's being used much anyway?
I've been using Corona a long time. I'm hoping new features are added soon. I could be wrong, but my guess is iOS and Android development make up more than 80-90% of the development done with Corona(?), so if engineering resources are limited might not be worth updating for HTML 5, AppleTV, AndroidTV etc? But I might be perceiving the market incorrectly, I'm definitely no expert on those other platforms. Thanks. Hope to see new android/ios features soon!

Note: Remedy is no longer available.
Pressure Washer Recall Hotline: (800) 304-1316
January 23, 2002
Release # 02-086
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), MCM International of Eden Prairie, Minn., is voluntarily recalling about 50,000 Black Cat electric pressure washers. MCM International imported the pressure washers from a manufacturer in China who installed counterfeit ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) plugs on some of the units, without MCM's approval. All of the plugs are labeled "WELLONG"; however, the pressure washers with counterfeit "WELLONG" GFCI plugs appear virtually identical to those with genuine "WELLONG" GFCIs. It will require a professional inspection to identify the counterfeit GFCIs. GFCIs are important safety devices that are intended to protect consumers against shock or electrocution.
CPSC and MCM International have not received any reports of incidents in which the GFCI plugs failed to operate. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
The recalled Black Cat pressure washers have a sticker with a cat and the words "Black-Cat" on each side of the unit. The model numbers - either BC-2000 or TW-1750 - can be found on a label on the right side of the power station. The label also reads in part, "Made in China," "High Pressure Cleaning Machines," and the "Production Date" (which should fall between March 2001 and July 2001). The GFCI plugs have a green "Reset" button and a blue "Test" button - some plugs also have a label that reads "CONNECT TO INDIVIDUAL BRANCH CIRCUIT ONLY." On the back of the GFCI plug near the electrical prongs are the words "WELLONG" and "Rainproof."
Target and Menard's stores nationwide sold these pressure washers from August 2001 to September 2001 for between $85 and $100.
Consumers should stop using these pressure washers and discard the product. A remedy is no longer available.
CPSC reminds consumers that any electrical product that is used near water should contain a GFCI, in the plug or outlet. Prior to the implementation of the voluntary standard calling for the inclusion of GFCI plugs with high-pressure cleaning machines, there were several electrocution deaths and injuries. These incidents did not involve the Black Cat pressure washer.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @USCPSC or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

Dance Lessons
I apologize for being absent the past few months, but my dance lessons have kept me on my toes. These dance lessons have been FREE! You heard me right, absolutely free, thanks to life. I have learned to waltz, tango, echappe, and even a little krumping. My technique is far from flawless, but I have survived and made it to the curtain call. Let me explain…
The school year started off smoothly, and I planned to waltz through my days with renewed energy and free time. We made the decision that I would resign from my teaching job to be more present for the kids. I would research and tour possible schools for Piper to attend next year. Sending our precious nonverbal 15 year old daughter into the den of high school hormones and the unknown is terrifying. We have stayed in our failing school district because we have been blessed with knowledgeable and caring teachers. However, high school is a whole new animal. I will share more about high school search in a future blog.
The waltz is supposed to be smooth with a unique rise and fall action. So, I embraced my life director, the Lord, and immediately tried to lead. I thought I had this all figured out. During the day, I would write, tour schools, and take Piper to doctor appointments and therapies. During the afternoon, I would prep dinner and then head off to tutor students. The tutoring money would equal my lost teaching salary. This was when I began my first dance lesson.
I thought I would be gracefully moving forward, but I had to learn the box step. In September, my mom was still recovering from her extensive neck surgery and unable to drive. So, I was her chauffer to doctor appointments and errands. She was still suffering with myoclonic jerking and in a lot of pain. During this time, my grandmother started to not feel well. One day, my mom called to ask me to pick her up and take my grandmother to the ER. We were shocked by the news that my grandmother had stage 4 cancer. My ideas of graceful smooth days gliding around freely turned into days practicing the box step over and over again. One step right, one step back, one step left, one step forward and then repeat endlessly. Every day was the same. They were filled with tears, waiting, and taking the lead for this family of strong women.
My next lesson started when my grandmother left us only 6 weeks after her diagnosis. The ballet term Echappe means slipping movement or escaping. My heart was broken that she slipped from us so quickly. She had been my support and listening ear for 46 years. I kept expecting her to pop over or give me a call to say she loved me. The lesson I learned is that in echappe, after the dancer jumps, she lands back on the ground in second position. It is okay for me to leap in sadness and grieve, but then I must bring my feet back down to be a mother, daughter, and wife. That is what my grandmother would have wanted.
We had a couple weeks to grieve and prepare for her celebration of life. I was honored to be the family representative to speak. There were so many fascinating experiences in her life that made her the strong woman everyone came to love. I was starting to enjoy this new dance of slow, slow, slow, but then my dance steps turned to quick, quick, quick. The tango was my next dance lesson.
The week after the celebration of life, my mom went in for a hip replacement surgery. Once again, she would be unable to drive and in a lot of pain. Her jerking returned, and we ended in the ER two days after being sent home, for fear there was blood clot. When we stepped into that ER, our heart beats quickened because this was the same place we sat for hours before learning of my grandmother's cancer. My mom and I cried, laughed, and tried to regulate our emotions. In the tango, the dancers' orientation is constantly changing. It keeps the dancers on their toes. The next few weeks, my focus was on quick, quick, quick to the new year so then we could go slow, slow, slow and start a new time of hope with no pain.
I planned to dance into 2019 with high energy and excitement. Then I realized I also needed an escape from the grief and realization that our life would never be the same. So, I started my Krumping lessons. The dance from was actually created as a faith based artform. The word K.R.U.M.P. is an acronym for Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise. Youths started krumping to express their emotions in a non-violent way. This most recent dance lesson has humbled me. I need to rely on God Almighty and not dwell in a season of anger for all that occurred in 2018. I will Krump! Actually, I will ridiculously try to Krump and continue forging ahead with excitement and full belly laughing. If you see me, ask to see my moves, and I can guarantee that your day will be filled with laughter too.
Practice hope my friends, Jen

Nicholas, who is facing a charge of unlawfully taking a motor vehicle in New Zealand, was due to appear in the district court yesterday. However, he failed to show up.
The police prosecutor then requested an arrest warrant for the Cook Islands MP, which was granted by the court.
Nicholas, the MP for Avatiu-Ruatonga-Palmerston, was seen on Rarotonga recently. He is still believed to be on the island.
The former Internal Affairs minister initially appeared in the registrar list where he was remanded on bail to appear at the Manukau District Court on February 4, 2019.
Nicholas, who is believed to have engaged a private counsel, entered a plea of "not guilty" during his first appearance. The matter was adjourned to yesterday.
The vehicle he is facing the charge for is believed to be a rental car estimated to be worth about $40,000.
Nicholas was first elected into Parliament in the 2014 elections, after winning the Avatiu-Ruatonga-Palmerston seat under the Democratic Party banner.
He defected to the Cook Islands Party-led government in exchange for a Cabinet position which included minister responsible for Internal Affairs, Youths and Sports, Ombudsman and Punanga Nui.
In 2017, he resigned from his post and as the MP to stand in a by-election in his constituency under the Cook Islands Party banner.
Nicholas won the by-election and resumed his ministerial duties until the 2018 general election in June where he retained his seat despite a lengthy absence from the country due to "health reasons".
Following the re-election, he returned back to New Zealand to continue his medical treatment and failed to report his whereabouts to the government.
In September last year, prime minister Henry Puna sacked him as a Cabinet minister and appointed Nikao MP Vaine "Mac" Mokoroa in his place.
Nicholas also missed the first Parliament sitting post the 2018 election, in October.
In December, he returned to Rarotonga and in an interview with CI News explained his lengthy absence from the country.
"This year (2018) hasn't been a good year for me; as soon as 2018 started, there were a number of health issues," Nicholas then said.
"At the beginning, it was a real concern but it actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it kind of picked up other things at the beginning stage … which helped to address it before it became a real concern.
"Somehow 2018 has been nothing but hospitals for me."
Nicholas said serving people gave him great joy and he would love to continue to work for his community. But he added with his current state of health, he would consider the future of his job as a parliamentarian.
"2018 has been a year where I have considered my life more than anything or anyone. If it required me to leave my job and position here, I would do it any day because it's a matter of being alive.
"I never wanted this job but what I did enjoy doing is doing stuff for people. It gave me joy serving and working for them."

A father and son were among nine sentenced in an Ecstasy trafficking ring in Detroit.
Sylvester Boston Jr. was the last defendant sentenced. He's expected to serve 108 months in federal prison. His father, Sylvester Boston Sr., is sentenced to 96 months for his part in the scheme, officials say.
The additional seven defendants have been sentenced to the following:
Rodney Reaves, 24 months
Nikito Merchant, 48 months
Norman Christopher Ivory, Time served
Sondai Harris, 87 months
Raymond Thomas, 60 months
Corey Broaden, 24 months
William Burt, 24 months
In 2014, the defendants were charged in a 17-count indictment for running the distribution ring from May 2013 through April 2014.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) first became aware of the trafficking ring in May 2013. Special agents found that S&B Computers, located on the city's west side, was a front for the large-scale Ecstasy pill production and distribution organization.
The defendants were allegedly involved in the distribution of heroin as well, according to the indictment.
"As a result of this investigation and enforcement action, we've dismantled an entire drug trafficking network that we allege was responsible for funneling poison into communities in metro Detroit," said Steve Francis, special agent in charge of HSI Detroit. "The dismantling of drug-trafficking operations has a direct and immediate positive impact on the quality of life here in Detroit."

Here's what's available to buy in Ardenwood, home to Fremont's Ardenwood elementary and Forest park Elementary Schools. I've sorted the list below based on price per sqft.
The range goes from $353 per sqft to a high of $565 per sqft.
I always like to look at the ones at the extremes 1st to see what's the reason for the variance. Larger homes generally sell at a lower price per sqft. Smaller homes sell at a higher cost per sqft.

On August 26, the Perlan Project successfully flew a glider at 62,000 feet to set a new world altitude record. The pressurized glider is towed aloft by a specially modified Grob Egrett G520 turboprop and then released at 42,000 feet. The glider then climbs higher still by using seasonal stratospheric mountain waves from the Andes Mountains. Glider pilots know all about winds that are pushed aloft by the face of a mountain chain, but NASA discovered in the 1990s that these winds can extend all the way into the stratosphere at certain times of the year.
From the Perlan Project website:
The Perlan 2 will fly to 90,000 feet at the edge of space to explore the science of giant mountain waves that help create the ozone hole and change global climate models. This will require the engineering of a spacecraft with glider wings that can fly in less than 3% of normal air density and at temperatures of minus 70 degrees C, conditions approximating the surface of Mars. These missions will provide education and inspiration for young people seeking careers of exploration and adventure in engineering and science. (Perlan Project)
Project engineers predict that when the glider reaches 90,000 feet it will be traveling at 350 knots, or about 403 mph. To put that into some context, the highest the mighty SR-71 Blackbird has ever flown is 85,069 feet, albeit at a significantly higher speed.
But why a glider when we already have aircraft that can fly this high? Because aircraft engines produce heat, and that changes the atmospheric conditions immediately around the aircraft.
The project, sponsored by Airbus, is currently in Phase 2. Phase 3 will see the glider soaring as high as 100,000 feet and reaching transonic speeds which will require a new wing design. Research flights will then be conducted in the polar vortex to investigate ozone depletion and other signs of climate change.

An event every week that begins at 2:00 pm on Sunday and Saturday, repeating until November 10, 2019
What a time it was! The Klondike 1898, and the dream of gold was in every heart. Among the dreamers, vaudevillian queen Kate Rockwell, alias Belle Darling, alias Klondike Kate — grifter, pickpocket, and occasional lifesaver in a lawless land.
Now it's 1931. The Gold Rush is a memory. But Kate is still singing, still dancing, still wearing her famous dress.
So come to her cabaret, where Vaudeville still reigns. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll sing along — you may even dance to the old familiar songs — as she takes you on a musical journey through her memories of struggle, heartbreak and triumph.

Our prayer in 2019 is that every single person in Toms River would experience the love of Christ. Why can't it be us? It has to be us. If it is not us, then our mission is in vain. To not be "us" is the equivalent of mission failure. We will not relentlessly love our community well with a few CKA's from time to time. We will not relentlessly love our church well with myself and a few church leaders "sowing good deeds" occasionally throughout the week handing out God Loves You cards. We WILL relentlessly love our community well if it is truly a "WE" thing. If we all take hold of this, 2019 will be the year Toms River truly feels the love of Jesus Christ. It will the year we see revival break out in Toms River. Can there be revival amongst a people unwilling to demonstrate His love? Our prayer is that we would fall so in love with Jesus that we simply cannot help but to show and tell others about our amazing Savior.
Wellspring, we are a church on mission. We Pray for ONE. We care about the individual. If we all take hold of this, we will in turn love ALL our community. Our prayer is that we would be the church praying for ONE and igniting a craving for Jesus Christ by relentlessly loving our community.
"Our prayer is that we would handout 100,000 God Loves You cards this year."
Click Here for a list of simple and inexpenise community kindness actions you can do yourself and with your family, our prayer is that we would handout 100,000 God Loves You cards this year. Love One, Love ALL. LETS GO

A room that was put together with Scott Stay using KRIX from Midland West Coast Hi Fi and tuned and refined by HTE
Now we have all the parts lets consider interior decor and design.
Acoustic panels can be one component but how will your new cinema room look when it comes to styling and appearance?
Before you start, consider the selection of fabrics, colours, carpets, finishing and even the finest cosmetic details, every decision you make in this process will influence the overall look, feel and sound of the room. Light coloured walls and reflective surfaces around screens are trouble. Annoying and distracting lights and equipment in the line of sight ruin the experience, but feature lighting can dramatically enhance it. Popcorn Machines, candy Bars, theatrical Lighting, artwork and clever sculpting of the room can all be done without breaking the budget.
Custom home cinema design is about much more than the science of an audio visual experience - there is a large component of creative design and styling that often gets forgotten or ignored till the last minute. Make your room a great room to escape to, another world that brings pleasure and relaxation. Interior design sets the mood the minute you step into the room.

8 Expert Tips For Selecting the Right Gourmet Caterer In Gladstone Park
When it comes to the things that can make or break an event, few are as important as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your choice which catering service to hire, and if you think this decision actually isn't really that crucial, take a look at it this way, incredible catering can rescue an event that's on the rocks, however bad catering will usually send visitors to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for the majority of events, the catering service you select is also a substantial financial choice and can affect just how much money you have left over to invest in other areas depending upon food expenses and quantities.
Add in that catering services can vary considerably in their rates and the types of meals and services they use, and the process of picking a catering service can figuratively and actually seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Individual Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, generally because how responsive and interested a catering service is throughout your initial conversations is a sign of how they will carry out throughout the length of their agreement with you (and more on agreements later).
A prospective catering service needs to be learning as much as they can about you in your first few discussions with them, so you should anticipate them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you offering answers and outlining your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Manage Your Specific Type of Occasion In Gladstone Park 3043
Not every catering service is perfect or every type of occasion, and lots of caterers themselves honestly confess this.
So when interviewing your Gladstone Park caterers (and you need to talk with at least 3 catering services for any occasion with a sensible budget), you need to be specific about the type of event you are planning and the kind of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you may end up choosing a catering service who just isn't really an excellent suitable for the type or style of your event.
Virtually every catering service has a basic menu or menus to select from, and many do offer some level of built-in versatility to adjust these menus to your specific requirements by substituting specific items and/or customizing others.
Nevertheless, the standout caterers will go beyond standardized menu alternatives and be willing to develop remarkable fare that matches a lot more particular style and dietary requirements.
# 3 Desire To Offer Tastings
How will you ever know what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you understand what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you specifically attempt them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the particular items they want for their occasion because it looks like a hassle for the caterer, however it is standard to request for a tasting of exactly what you are intending to order before you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a charge, it's a small price to pay to ensure you pick the ideal catering service). And when you are tasting the food, also address how it is presented, as any catering service who makes the effort to appropriately display a sample will most likely be more likely to make that kind of effort on your event day.
Are you an event manager who has to handle catering details, budget plans and projects?
Or are you a catering service who needs to track propositions, invoices, meal selections, stock and other customer information?
# 4 Familiarity With The Venue
You may remain in for a surprise if you work with a BBQ take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraising event. Or if you pick a high-end corporate occasion catering service to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Due to the fact that these caterers might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get back at more specific depending on constraints of the venue itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Much more conventional places can also have restrictions that catering services should follow, like certain setup standards or disposal constraints for waste food and water, so having a catering service that recognizes with a venue's rules can possibly save you lots of hassle on event day.
# 5 Total Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's agreement need to plainly define precisely what food, drinks and services the caterer will be offering on the designated day( s). Moreover, it must secure you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you may wish to consider having a lawyer} take a look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail ought to be included in the agreement, consisted of selected menus, variety of servings and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if suitable) and all prices and extra services.
No caterer in Gladstone Park with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in a contract with strategies to bail at the last minute, however you need to make sure there is a cancellation clause in your agreement simply in case your catering service has to cancel.
You do not want to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your event, so simply make sure cancellation procedures and charges remain in place so you do have a backup strategy.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Talk With
Of course you will have to look into the catering services in Gladstone Park you are considering, and it's always excellent to begin online and check out sites.
However, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always reputable (or perhaps genuine); for instance, an excellent caterer might have had a few nightmare/hater customers who alter their rankings, while a really mediocre catering service might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some past clients of the catering services you are considering and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we spoke to called insurance protection "a provided" for caterers, and you certainly do not want to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Kitchen Staff
Remarkably, for how long a catering business in Gladstone Park has actually been in business may not be as critical in choosing an excellent catering service as you may believe.
So ensure to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV because he or she will probably be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

Today would have been the 109th birthday of one of the greatest songwriters and producers of the doo-wop era, the remarkable Buck Ram.
Buck Ram (born Samuel Ram, November 21, 1907 – January 1, 1991), also known as Ande Rand, Lynn Paul or Jean Miles, was a songwriter, talent manager, producer, and arranger. He was primarily known for the Platters, and wrote all the group's biggest hits, including "Only You," "The Great Pretender," "the Magic Touch," and "Twilight Time." He also wrote for other great doo-wop groups of the era including the Penguins, the Coasters, the Drifters, and such jazz greats as Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald.
Still, his work with the Platters was pioneering, since they were the first rock and roll group to have a Top Ten album in America, and one of the seminal vocal groups in pop music in the 50s, bridging the doo-wop, crooner, and rock and roll eras. Anyway, enjoy the voices of the great Tony Williams (April 5, 1928 – August 14, 1992) on lead vocals from 1953 to 1960 and Herb Reed (August 7, 1928 – June 4, 2012), another founding member of the Platters in 1953 whose voice was on ALL of their 400+ songs, set to the production techniques of the legendary Buck Ram. Welcome to a world of 60 years ago!
From 1955, a live performance by the original Platters of "The Great Pretender and Only You"
I found it again! From the Ed Sullivan Show in March 1959, singing live to a backing track, one of their biggest hits, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" Here's another television appearance, lip-synched all the way! "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"
The studio version of their 1956 number one hit "My Prayer"
From Nov 1956, the studio version of "One in a Million"
From the late 50s, a live television performance of "He's Mine"
From 1958, a live performance of their number 1 smash hit "Twilight Time"
Also from 1958, "Oh Promise Me"
From 1959 or 1960, a live performance of "Remember When"
From 1959, the studio version of their #12 hit, "Enchanted"
Though Herb kept going, here's one of the last songs Tony did with the Platters, here's Tony belting out "Orchids in the Moonlight"
From January 1960, the studio version of their top 10 hit "Harbor Lights"
For our finale today, the awesome voices of Herb and Tony in the studio version of "The Magic Touch"
RIP guys. You were the music of my childhood, an era of sweet music, great melodies, and magical harmonies. I'm sure the last half of the 20th century blew your mind. Thanks for the memories.

Trip Overview
Greens Bayou is an easy trip for beginners and others alike. We set off from Greens Bayou Park located on Westmont Drive just off the East Freeway near Uvalde Road. This is a city park with BBQ pits, swings but not much else. A natural ditch splits the park and the left/bare side has a small launch.
The ride up the bayou was spectacular with all the wild life you could want. From birds to alligators to turtles and even deer, it is all there. Watch for baby alligators! We saw 5 one trip but never did find mamma. Stay well clear of babies or have a boat that won't turn over.
We cheated and used a small motor and went up stream past US 90 and up to where it splits into Halls Bayou. We saw markings on trees, evidence of beavers, once we passed US 90. This is a must travel trip for day or even camp somewhere along the banks. If you gent impatient, you can always call someone to pick you up at some of the roads that cross the bayou. At one point there was a chain across the drive to prevent vehicles from driving into the park. In any event, you can carry the canoe 100 feet to the launch. September, there are canoe races at this park. Enjoy!
SIDE TRIP est 1/4 mile up stream from Westmont Park is the entrance to Jordans Gully on the right. 100 feet off the main bayou it is wide and flat and full of fish, wildlife, etc. Paddle through the next 100 yards and the creek deepens to est 4 feet and is est 6 - 10 feet wide at best. There was a 3 ft alligator living there the last time I was there. Leave him alone and he will do the same. We paddled within 3 feet of him and he did not move until we were well past. Alas, this deeper part of the creek and thick woods only last for another two hundred yards or so, but is worth seeing.
City of Houston Park = FREE!
East Freeway, east bound, exit Uvalde and U-Turn. Stay on service road down near the Hospital. Street beside Hospital is Westmont drive. Turn right on Westmont and look for park est 1/3 mile on left. (East fwy west bound, Westmont has it's own exit. Get in right lane and turn.

All the major banks in India – ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, SBI, BoB and PNB, to name a few – have increased the interest rates offered to fixed deposit customers. The banks have also hiked the interest rates that they charge on various loans, like home loans, personal loans and auto / car loans.
With inflation being at multi-year highs, and remaining over 11% for consecutive weeks, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had increased the reverse repo rate and the cash reserve ratio (CRR) last week.
(To know more about interest rate hikes in August 2008, please read "Once again, banks hike interest rates for deposits and lending (loans)")
Reverse repo is the rate at which the RBI lends money to the banks, and CRR is the amount of cash that banks have to deposit with the RBI. A high CRR means that more money can't be lent out for commercial purposes.
(Looking for interest rates offered to NRIs by these banks? Please read "Banks increase interest rate on deposits for Non Resident Indians (NRIs)").
Both these measures have an effect of increasing the cost of funds for banks. And therefore, as a reaction, most Indian banks have increased their lending and deposit rates.
This is very good news for people wanting to park their money in fixed (or term) deposits. At the same time, it is bad news for people wanting to borrow money through various loans like home loans and car loans.
Here are the details of the rate hikes:
ICICI Bank
ICICI bank has increased it benchmark advance rate (BAR) by 0.75% to 16.5%. The floating reference rate (FRR) for consumer loans has also been increased by 0.75% to 13.5%.
ICICI bank has also hiked the interest rate offered on fixed deposits by 0.5% to 1%, for deposits less then Rs. 15 Lakhs.
HDFC Bank
HDFC Bank has raised its prime lending rate (PLR) by 0.75%. The new PLR stands at 16%.
HDFC Bank has also increased its fixed deposit rates by 0.5% to 1%, depending on the tenure of the deposit.
HDFC (Home Loans)
HDFC has upped its retail prime lending rate (RPLR) by 0.5%. It has increased the adjustable or floating rate of interest for home loans for new borrowers to 11%. The fixed rate has been increased to 14%.
State Bank of India (SBI)
SBI has increased its prime lending rate (PLR) by 0.5% to 12.75%.
A decision of hiking the interest rate for home loans and fixed deposits is pending.
Punjab National bank (PNB)

tuesday 13th of may is a black day for architecture in holland as the faculty of architecture in Delft cought fire and could not ba saved. Parts of the building collapsed, burying years of research and beautiful works. Due to digitalisation some of the work could be saved but much of the cultural heritage that was inside the building has been lost forever. Although we feel very sorry that also the Miele Spacestation didn't survive more than a year as an espressobar, the loss of famous collections in the library and important models and furniture goes beyond any imagination. In this building thousands of architects found inspiration in their professional career. All The initiators of this website were educated amongst them, convinced of the power of perpetuating materials lives. A simple fire makes such efforts look silly sometimes.
In recent years the faculty strongly moved towards the development of a sustainable future. We hope the staff finds the energy to reinvent the faculty in a free and inspiring way as we've experienced it in the now sadly closed of past.
PS. in selected shops some of the paper fragments of the faculties daily production can be found with a new purpose in notebooks until just before the fire. An architecture student produced notebooks out of miscopies from the copydepartment of the faculty under the name 'Spandraad'. They can be consideres a kind of temporary memorial.
PS1. the sad collapse of the building after many huors of fire can be seen in this video.

Transitions to sustainability focus in general on bringing about radical changes in entire subsystems of society, such as the mobility system, the energy system, and the food system. Recently, the focus has been broadened to lifestyle changes, consumption, the role of citizens and new actors such as bottom-up and social innovation initiatives, as well as alternative economic models that might support the transition to a sustainable society. This has been taken up by several EU funded interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary projects including GLAMURS (Green Lifestyles, Alternative Models and Upscaling Regional Sustainability), a project SERI and many European partners have worked on for over two years.
With the occasion of the GLAMURS Consortium meeting in Delft on the 4th of April, a seminar for both researchers and policymakers was organised at Delft University of Technology, in which results from several relevant EU projects were presented. The aim was to explore and discuss the links between sustainable lifestyles, social innovation, and the need of new (economic) models how this can support transitions to sustainability in order to identify policy options and to future research implications.
Additionally, a video about the GLAMURS "Case Study Exchange" event last summer was released recently. The event aimed to connect case study representatives and researchers from all over Europe that are involved in the project:

KMEG is the CBS-affiliated television station for the Southern Siouxland licensed to Sioux City, Iowa. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 39 (or virtual channel 14.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter in unincorporated Plymouth County, Iowa east of James and US 75 along the Woodbury county line. The station can also be seen on Cable ONE channel 7 and in high definition on digital channel 460. Owned by Waitt Broadcasting, KMEG is operated through a shared services agreement (SSA) by Sinclair Broadcast Group. This makes it a sister station to Fox affiliate KPTH and the two outlets share studios along I-29 (postal address says Gold Circle) in unincorporated Dakota Dunes, South Dakota. Syndicated programming on this station includes Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy! and The Doctors among others.
KMEG shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 14, at noon on February 17, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television (which Congress had moved the previous month to June 12).[2][3][4] The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 39, using PSIP to display KMEG's virtual channel as 14 on digital television receivers.
KMEG's signal is repeated over three translators.[5] Since all are licensed as low-powered stations, they were exempt from transitioning to digital-only broadcasts in 2009 as mandated by law for all full-power television stations.
The station signed-on September 5, 1967 as the market's third television outlet. It has been affiliated with CBS since the beginning. Before its launch, the network had previously been carried on KVTV (now KCAU-TV) from 1953 until 1967. That station switched its affiliation to ABC on Sept. 2, 1967, and Siouxland was briefly without a CBS affiliate until KMEG signed-on a few days later. KMEG was started by a group of local investors led by Bob and Norma Donovan. Its call letters were selected in honor of their daughter Meg who would later pass away.
The station's original ownership group sold KMEG to Gillett Holdings in 1985. The next year, Gillett sold the station to the Maine Radio and Television Company, the owner of WCSH-TV in Portland, Maine and WLBZ-TV in Bangor, Maine. KMEG was one of only two CBS stations not to air the Late Show with David Letterman when it premiered. KXJB-TV in Fargo, North Dakota also declined to alter its syndicated lineup in order to air the new program.[6] This led Sioux City to become known as The Late Show's first home office. KMEG would began airing the show in 1994.[7]
The station was acquired by Waitt Broadcasting in 1998. The new owners significantly upgraded KMEG's facilities, including an increase of its broadcast tower height to 2,000 feet and WPGX in Panama City, Florida, WDFX-TV in Dothan, Alabama, and KYOU-TV in Ottumwa, Iowa. However, the Fox affiliates were kept separate from KMEG through a subsidiary known as Waitt Media. In 2003, Waitt Broadcasting sold its entire Waitt Media unit to Raycom Media (who concurrently transferred KYOU's license to a third party due to Federal Communications Commission duopoly regulations as Raycom already owned Ottumwa's ABC affiliate KTVO at the time) but retained KMEG.
From 1988 until the sign-on of KPTH in 1999, the station maintained a secondary affiliation with Fox. It also aired selected UPN programming out-of-pattern until the network merged with The WB (carried locally on KTIV-DT2 and cable television) to form The CW in 2006.
KMEG's first studios were at the corner of 7th Street and Floyd Boulevard in Downtown Sioux City until around the start of the 21st century when it moved into new facilities in Dakota Dunes near North Sioux City, South Dakota. The 20,132 sq ft (1,870.3 m2) building was constructed by Darland Construction Company, and at the time, the building housed KMEG and two radio stations (KZSR 102.3 FM and KKYY 101.3 FM). In May 2005, Waitt Broadcasting entered into a shared services agreement (SSA) with Pappas Telecasting Companies (then owner of Fox affiliate KPTH). The two radio stations moved out and KPTH was integrated into KMEG's facility even though it was the senior partner in the arrangement.
In November 2007, Waitt announced it would sell KMEG to Siouxland Television, LLC. Pappas was to have continued operating the station as part of the deal. However, Pappas' Sioux City duopoly was among the company's thirteen stations which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. As a result, the sale of KMEG to Siouxland Television fell through. On January 16, 2009, it was announced several of the Pappas stations involved in the bankruptcy (including KPTH) would be sold to New World TV Group after the transaction received United States bankruptcy court approval.[8] The change in ownership was completed on October 15, 2009, and on that day, New World TV Group took over the SSA with KMEG. TTBG announced the sale of most of its stations, including KPTH and the SSA of KMEG, to the Sinclair Broadcast Group on June 3, 2013.[9] The sale was completed on September 30.[10]
After being acquired by Waitt Broadcasting in 1998, KMEG added evening and late-night local news. On October 9, 2006, KMEG began producing a weeknight prime time newscast on KPTH. Known as Siouxland News at Nine on Fox 44, the broadcast can currently be seen for thirty minutes. Although KPTH is the senior partner in the SSA, KMEG produces the newscasts on both stations. On October 25, 2010, KMEG became the first station in the market to upgrade its news operation to 16:9 enhanced definition widescreen. Although not truly high definition, the broadcasts matched the ratio of HD television screens. The weeknight news at 9 on KPTH was included in the change. On April 15, 2013, KMEG and KPTH completed an upgrade to full high definition news broadcasts, two years after competitors KCAU-TV and KTIV.
KMEG does not air any weekend newscasts but does offer a weekly summary of headlines Sunday nights at 10. Its weekday broadcasts in the morning, at 5, and 10 are streamed live on the station's website. Unlike most CBS affiliates in the Central Time Zone, it does not air local news at noon or weeknights at 6. Maintaining only nine on-air personalities, KMEG has a smaller news department compared with most other big three network affiliates.
