[Saadia Khan
What can we do if you missed the train when the QXP was being done in full public view from 2001 to 2003?
However, you are entitled to your views. ]
Dear sister,
I do not understand the relevance of your first statement but I will tell you about myself and where I come from (for your information I was one of the first to download the QXP1 from the website and study it intently, and I am not an Arabic scholar so I rely on others to do the hard work!)
I am 45 years old and joined the Quranic train when I was first able to understand what my father was trying to say to me (1, 2, 4 years old?) My first words of an educational nature were verses of the Quran, spoken in English, my mother tongue, so I knew what they meant and what they wanted of me. The QXP carriage has made the train longer and is a valuable contribution to furthering our understanding of the Quran, but it was not the first and neither was this forum the first website dedicated to the Deen of Allah as it should be practiced. I was not a "Quranic based website" orphan when I came across this site, though I was extremely happy it was here. I do try to "stoke the fires of this train" in whatever limited capacity I have, and I leave it to my Maker to Judge me; but Judging my fellow man without seeing what is in their "book" by understanding what they are really about, is not something I do.
My first book that I read on the way Islam is supposed to be understood and practised was Islam, A Challenge to Religion by Allama Ghulam Ahmed Parwez, Saab and everything that I undertake is guided by what the Quran says I must do, not on what I tell others they should be doing. I have stood up and given truthful evidence even though it put me in a worse position (in terms of my family position) and went against some other close family members. I am not one of those who profess with their tongues that they have submitted when true faith has not entered their hearts; true faith produces right actions, not words of criticism which is the way of the weak minded (no reference to your good self, but to others who see an easy target and instead of debating, resort to debasing!). This is a forum that demands we set high standards and not acts in the manner of those we regularly criticise, the N2I. We have to keep a behavioural, moral and ethical high ground.
Yassir Fazagi put my attitude into a short sentence "if your beliefs do not affect your behaviour, then your beliefs are worthless".
I am a firm believer in the mutizila concept of "the Quran plus logic and reason"(see later). If it does not sound right, then I put it on the side until I can evaluate the truth of the matter. When I do "take the bait", I have intellect enough to know how to bite hard enough down on it in order to free myself; this "fish" can be a shark! [I have a Christian friend who asks me questions about Islam and I directed him to two websites, "answeringislam" and "faithfreedom", not to turn him away from Islam, but to give him proper ammunition to challenge me. "Mashallah" (no, I have not turned N2I!) I have answered every falsehood he has asked me; I do not insult him, ban him from my home or any other negative response, and this is the way to approach those we do not understand or agree with.]
Blind indoctrination plays no part in my life, as neither does culture, doing things "just for show", or the equally false attitude that "I know everything and if you do not like it, serf somewhere else"! Humility, my dear, humility and that was directed to you Saadia, at some of the moderators and forum members who need to look up the definition of what moderation means and not jump on the band wagon of calling for someone to be banned just because they are the most vocal. Strong words should be gently spoken, not used in an insulting or demeaning manner. The contemplative, respectful, reflective and open minded example of the good Dr, Saab (I use the spelling Saab and not sahib, for a reason, if you know about this manufacturer and the long lasting, good quality cars they produce, you will understand), is there for all of us to learn from, not something we should criticise him over.
I am not perfect, I do not know everything, I make mistakes but I feel that on this forum we have capable minds that are able to show us the error of our ways. As Muslims we must correct a wrong when we see it, not push someone away or think it is "clever" just to ridicule them.
As regards QXP and its exclusive use on this forum, here is my post I was going to submit on Saturday following your first response to what I previously wrote. Please understand the reasoning behind my writing and my apologies if this is not presented in a clear manner, it is just the way I am; I do it MY Way!
First, a little education:-
Mu'tazilah Theory of Interpretation from aboutquran website.
Mu'tazilah relied on a synthesis between reason and revelation. That is, their rationalism operated in the service of scripture and Islamic theological framework. They, as the majority of Muslim jurist-theologians, validated allegorical readings of scripture whenever necessary. Justice 'Abd al-Jabbar (1965) said in his Sharh al-Usul al-Khamsa (The Explication of the Five Principles):
" قال القاضى عبد الجبار المعتزلى فى كتابه شرح الأصول الخمسة: إن الكلام متى لم يمكن حمله على ظاهره و حقيقته، و هناك مجازان أحدهما أقرب و الآخر أبعد، فإن الواجب حمله على المجاز الأقرب دون الأبعد، لأن المجاز الأبعد من الأقرب كالمجاز مع الحقيقة، و كما لا يجوز فى خطاب الله تعالى أن يحمل على المجاز مع إمكان حمله على الحقيقة، فكذلك لا يحمل على المجاز الأبعد و هناك ما هو أقرب منه
The hermeneutic methodology proceeds as follows: if the literal meaning of an ayah (verse) is consistent with the rest of scripture, the main themes of the Qur'an, the basic tenets of the Islamic creed, and the well-known facts, then interpretation, in the sense of moving away from the literal meaning, is not justified. If a contradiction results from adopting the literal meaning, such as a literal understanding of the "hand" of God that contravenes His transcendence and the Qur'an mention of His categorical difference from all other things, then an interpretation is warranted. In the above quote, Justice 'Abd al-Jabbar emphatically mentioned that if there are two possible interpretations, both capable of resolving the apparent contradiction created by literal understanding of a verse, then the interpretation closer to the literal meaning should take precedence.
Reason and Revelation
The Mu'tazilis had a nuanced theory regarding reason, Divine revelation, and the relationship between them. They celebrated power of reason and human intellectual power. To them, it is the human intellect that guides a human to know God, His attributes, and the very basics of morality. Once this foundational knowledge is attained and one ascertains the truth of Islam and the Divinity of the Qur'an, the intellect then interacts with scripture such that both reason and revelation come together to be the main source of guidance and knowledge for Muslims. Harun Nasution in the Mu'tazila and Rational Philosophy, translated in Martin (1997), commented on Mu'tazili extensive use of rationality in the development of their religious views saying: "It is not surprising that opponents of the Mu'tazila often charge the Mu'tazila with the view that humanity does not need revelation, that everything can be known through reason, that there is a conflict between reason and revelation, that they cling to reason and put revelation aside, and even that the Mu'tazila do not believe in revelation. But is it true that the Mu'tazila are of the opinion that everything can be known through reason and therefore that revelation is unnecessary? The writings of the Mu`tazila give exactly the opposite portrait. In their opinion, human reason is not sufficiently powerful to know everything and for this reason humans need revelation in order to reach conclusions concerning what is good and what is bad for them.
The Mu'tazili position on the roles of reason and revelation is well captured by what Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari (d. 324 A.H./935 A.D.), the eponym of the Ash'ari school of theology, attributed to the Mu'tazili scholar Ibrahim al-Nazzam (d. 231 A.H./845 A.D.) (1969):
" فقال قائلون: كل معصية كان يجوز أن يأمر الله سبحانه بها فهي قبيحة للنهي، وكل معصية كان لا يجوز أن يبيحها الله سبحانه فهي قبيحة لنفسها كالجهل به والاعتقاد بخلافه، وكذلك كل ما جاز أن لا يأمر الله سبحانه فهو حسن للأمر به وكل ما لم يجز إلا أن يأمر به فهو حسن لنفسه، وهذا قول النظام"
That is, there are three classes of acts. The first is what the intellect is competent on its own to discover its morality. For instance, the intellect, according to Mu'tazilis, can know, independently of revelation, that justice and telling the truth (sidq) are morally good. God is under an ethical obligation to order humanity to abide by these. The second class of deeds is what the intellect can discover their inherent evil and ugliness (qubh), such as injustice, mendacity, or, according to al-Nazzam as reported in the above quote, being in a state of ignorance of the Creator. God cannot but prohibit these. The third class is comprised of the acts that the human intellect is incapable of assigning moral values to them. These are only known through revelation and they become known to be morally good if God orders them, or morally wrong if God forbids them. In short, the human intellect is capable of knowing what is right and what is wrong in a very general sense. Revelation comes from God to detail what the intellect summarizes, and to elaborate on the broad essentials. Revelation and reason complement each other and cannot dispense with one another.
In the above formulation, a problem emerged, which is rendering something obligatory on the Divine being — something that seems to directly conflict with Divine omnipotence. The Mu'tazili argument is predicated on absolute Divine power and self-sufficiency, however. Replying to a hypothetical question as to why God does not do that which is ethically wrong (la yaf`alu al-qabih), 'Abd al-Jabbar replied (as translated in Martin et al., 1997): Because He knows the immorality of all unethical acts and that He is self-sufficient without them…For one of us who knows the immorality of injustice and lying, if he knows that he is self-sufficient without them and has no need of them, it would be impossible for him to choose them, in so far as he knows of their immorality and his sufficiency without them. Therefore, if God is sufficient without need of any unethical thing it necessarily follows that He would not choose the unethical based on His knowledge of its immorality. Thus every immoral thing that happens in the world must be a human act, for God transcends doing immoral acts. Indeed, God has distanced Himself from that with His saying: "But Allah wills no injustice to His servants" (Qur'an 40:31), and His saying: "Verily Allah will not deal unjustly with humankind in anything" (Qur'an 10:44).
The thrust of `Abd al-Jabbar's argument is that acting immorally or unwisely stems from need and deficiency. One acts in a repugnant way when one does not know the ugliness of one's deeds, i.e., because of lack of knowledge, or when one knows but one has some need, material, psychological, or otherwise. Since God is absolutely self-sufficient (a result from the cosmological "proof" of His existence), all-knowing, and all-powerful, He is categorically free from any type of need and, consequently, He never does anything that is ridiculous, unwise, ugly, or evil.
The conflict between Mu'tazilis and Ash'aris concerning this point was a matter of the focus of obsession. Mu'tazilis were obsessed with Divine justice, whereas the Ash'aris were obsessed with Divine omnipotence. Nevertheless, Divine self-restraint in Mu'tazili discourse is because of, not a negation of, Divine omnipotence.
Read these words again and tell me they do not show the way some members have behaved:-
[One acts in a repugnant way when one does not know the ugliness of one's deeds, i.e., because of lack of knowledge, or when one knows but one has some need, material, psychological, or otherwise]
This lengthy discourse on the teachings of the Mutazilis is presented here as a response to two issues; the first is to one of this forums members that my "truth about swine" was the most offensive post ever presented here. After a number of responses that involved expletives and language that the moderators would have deleted, I calmed down and decided to constructively destroy this response. The second is to Saadia Khan who presented a response to my defence of free speech by Brother Badar. Badar has put forward a new translation of the Quran which some forum members have ridiculed and stated that these should be banned from the site, and only QXP should be presented. I find the attempts by Badar bizarre because they do not enhance my understanding of the Quran in the same way that the excellent QXP does, or the Exposition of the Quran by Ghulam Ahmed Parwaz (this latter pre-dating QXP). However, I am willing to engage in an intellectual discussion with this man, knowing that Dr Shabir and many other incredible Arabic linguists are on hand to show this man where his ideas may be a corruption of the pure Arabic of the Quran.
This is the response from Saadia Khan and then I will present my response to both this and my "most offensive swine post":-
Saadia Khan, Manager QXP Project
Let me share with you what you might not know. I can request Sr Khadija of Beijing and hundreds others to reconfirm this.
We were a scattered bunch of people all around the world until 2001.
Then QXP suddenly appeared on this very forum verse by verse open to all anywhere in the world in 2001. It was, and still is, the only rendition ever done in full public view.
Being the most suited person for the job himself, a Deeniyaat graduate from the top class Madinah University, being a student of King Faisal and his first class Arabic teachers, a visiting lecturer to Al-Azhar and Riyadh Universities, our respected Dr. Shabbir Ahmed invited opinions from all around the world on a daily basis. Sheikh Abdullah Ali Bashoeb from Hijaz, Al-Ustaz Ali bin Ali Al-Harbi from Riyadh University, Sheikh Salameh Abu Mustafa of Al-Azhar, Ayatullah Hujjatullah Abdul Qadir Moosvi of Meshed Iran, Allama Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi of Qatar, Professor Ghafoor Ahmad of J.I. and many other prominent international scholars read the rendition of every verse for 18 months. Their advice was always given a respectful consideration.
This is how QXP brought about 50,000 men and women on the same page within one year. Today the number can be easily multiplied by 100. In 2005, the 'Shura' devised Forum policy included the clause that only QXP should be used on this Forum. The idea was not any kind of hegemony, but it was intended to maintain the intellectual harmony.
Any fabricator trying to disband this gift of blessed unity will be vehemently rejected. Dr. Shabbir Ahmed is too kind to allow such people on the forum. We will run a signature campaign to him if this does not stop.
Let us remain united by the Quran in the form of its best rendition today, QXP. I speak on behalf of millions of people. If someone does not like QXP, they can serf some other websites. We do not need forgery by B2 or anyone else in the name of another translation.
The above requires an answer from an example from this very forum; The "Truth about Soam" by Dr Qamar Zaman was presented here and a number of members have commended this as a great triumph of Quranic understanding. The Urdu version has been circulating for some time and in that period many have said that they do not fast now as a result of reading this. Dr Shabir has also announced that he has not fasted since his youth, but he has said that the arguments presented by Dr Zaman were not the reason he has just announced this, since he found them weak. I would have put Dr Zaman's translation of the Quran regarding the relevant verses about fasting, but his article does not have them in a manner I could use, so I will show you verse 2:184, with a similar meaning by Akhtar Sherazi:-
2:184 'The number of days of this training program or the teaching program of the Qur'anic administrative system would be difficult period for you and if any one of you still feels sickness [feels languish, or feels deficiency, or still feels weakness or imperfections of this ideology, or still doubtful, or feels short of this training] about this education program, or he/she is still in the phase of crossing from previous religion to this system, or he/she is in the period of journey of learning [ from other faiths or other systems to this system] then he/she must go back for another period of training. The people who have the abilities and power [both financial and academic capabilities] should come forward and bear this responsibility. They should make the arrangement for the supplement training program for them. It will remove weakness or imperfections about this ideology from the minds of those people who are still victims of stagnancy about this philosophy. And whoever will assist this program [even it is not obligatory upon him] from the core of his heart or of his own free will it is better for his/her personality and if he /she will join this administrative training program of the Quran it is also better for him/her. It will bring in your society prosperity, independency and choice of options between the right and the wrong affairs of your life. The organizational program of the Quran will also bring your society freedom, fraternity, Excellency, goodness, well being, happiness, generosity, nobility and if you will ponder upon Al- Sayyam training you will understand the importance of these training programs.'
Now compare this to the great scholarly translation of QXP (thank you Saadia for the long list of contributors to QXP, you must agree that the more names, the more authentic the translation!):-
2:184 Just for a fixed number of days. But if any of you is sick or he is on a journey, he may make up the same number of days later. For those who can go through Abstinence only with hardship, there is a ransom: the feeding of an indigent. Any additional charity will bring additional reward. However, if you knew better, going through the training program of Abstinence is good for you.
What now constitutes a forgery? Arabic scholars can render the Quran in QXP as above, and two men, Dr Zaman and Mr Sherazi, can turn this into a completely different meaning by stretching clear verses into an allegorical "Alice in Wonderland" fairy tale, which some members have wholeheartedly embraced. They have been duped by these men but I do not see the moderators and other forum members "ganging up" on these men and calling for their banning in the same way as they have for Brother Badar. We are those who state we know the Quran but some readily resort to the attitude that was present in the 1930's that led to the "Nazi book burning" ideology, where they also condemned and banned anyone they did not agree with. Strong words that may be taken in the wrong way, but they are meant to show how easy it is to be intolerant of others and we must maintain the intellectual and moral high ground, no matter how emotional we become.
The Dr Saab has been criticised for being too lenient, but long may his example be an inspiration to us all. And whose forum is this?
As regards my "truth about swine" which some misunderstood and others found offensive, it was my attempt at turning clear verses into the same allegorical nonsense that Dr Zaman et al have done. It did what it set out to do, be offensive in the same way I found the meaning of soam had been presented to us, going against the conventional wisdom and understanding of the notable scholars from around the world that helped with QXP. Surely they cannot all be wrong and only these two men are right?
Since I am not arrogant, self centred, full of false pride or pig headed (most relevant, considering the mess I seem to have made of my post and the reaction I received), I am always open to intellectual correction on anything I have said, and that is why I do not intentionally offend anyone's feelings in my writings; I do not like the taste of humble pie.

A misuse of emergency funds to install hardwood flooring in a New Mexico city building last year after a small water leak has taken a new turn.
On June 27, investigators from the New Mexico Attorney General's office raided the homes of the mayor of Las Vegas, N.M., Tonita Gurule-Giron, and Marvin Salazar, the owner of Gemini Construction, due to suspected kickbacks, price-rigging, favorable treatment and collusion related to hardwood flooring installations, as well as several other projects for the city, the Las Vegas Optic reports.
According to the report, during a bidding process for a hardwood flooring installation at the Las Vegas city hall in 2016, a former public works manager for the city claims the mayor intimidated him into getting the bid amounts prior to the close of the bidding process, after which Gemini bid $54 less than the lowest bid and was awarded the project.
The next year, in 2017, another hardwood flooring installation was initiated after a water fountain leaked onto a carpeted floor at city hall. The city, without going through standard procurement procedures, used $10,000 in emergency funds to replace the carpeting with new hardwood flooring. The project eventually ballooned to more than $94,000 when the city decided to replace additional flooring in the city hall so the hardwood floors would match.
Salazar is a former campaign manager for Gurule-Giron, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

It doesn't get better than the Apple Watch Series 4. The new slimmer body and bigger screen make it sleeker and more stylish than ever before. The unique modern design works for both men and women. The smartwatch comes in 40mm and 44mm styles to fit wrists big and small. You can buy it in several finishes to match your style and there are dozens of Apple-made and third-party watch bands to make the Watch your own.
Bottom line: Some fitness trackers work equally well with an iPhone or Android device, but some smartwatches are built to pair with Android phones so you won't enjoy full functionality and pairing on an iPhone. The Apple Watch only pairs with the iPhone so is off limits to Android users. Your existing phone choice will play an important part in choosing a smartwatch. You can check your smartphone's compatibility with a range of Google Wear-powered smartwatches at g.co/WearCheck
In 2013, the claim to first ever smartwatch to capture the full capability of a smartphone was laid by startup Omate with the TrueSmart. The TrueSmart originated from a Kickstarter campaign which raised over 1 million dollars, making it the 5th most successful Kickstarter to date. The TrueSmart made its public debut in early 2014.[57] Consumer device analyst Avi Greengart, from research firm Current Analysis, suggested that 2013 may be the "year of the smartwatch", as "the components have gotten small enough and cheap enough" and many consumers own smartphones that are compatible with a wearable device. Wearable technology, such as Google Glass, may evolve into a business worth US$6 billion annually and a July 2013 media report, revealed that the majority of major consumer electronics manufacturers were undertaking work on a smartwatch device at the time of publication. The retail price of a smartwatch could be over US$300, plus data charges, while the minimum cost of smartphone-linked devices may be US$100.[58][59]
A smart watch is nice to have and it can be a neat buffer when deciding if you want to answer an incoming call or let it go to voicemail. Smart watches with apps for fitness and travel are also a lot more convenient in some cases than having your smartphone. However, if you prefer to use your iPhone for these and other activities, you probably won't get much more out of a smart watch.

When we compared the storage space of the Samsung Gear Sport with the other contenders, it didn't have the most. With 4 GB — only a quarter of what you'll get with the Apple Watch Series 3 GPS — you will have to manage your apps so you don't run out of room. If you like to carry all of your music with you and you have an extensive library, you might run out of space with the Gear Sport.
Wirecutter writers have been researching, testing, and writing about smartwatches since early 2013, just after the first Pebble watches were shipped to Kickstarter backers. I've personally worn nearly every notable smartwatch since that first Pebble and have written about them for a number of publications, including IT World and Fast Company. I also have extensive experience with Android phones, having written the (since outdated) Complete Android Guide and numerous articles about Android. I also contribute to and help edit the Wirecutter guide to the best smartwatch for iPhones.
Tizen is a Linux-based operating system for devices, including smartphones/tablets, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) devices, smart TVs, laptops/desktops and other platforms. Tizen is a project within the Linux Foundation and is governed by a Technical Steering Group (TSG) composed of Samsung and Intel among others. Samsung released the Samsung Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo, Samsung Gear S, Samsung Gear S2 and Samsung Gear S3 running Tizen.[86]
For instance, I rarely use the touchscreen on my Fitbit Versa because the shortcuts to my most-used smartwatch features are available via the three physical buttons on the watch. Gesture recognition is hit and miss on smartphone screens, nowhere near as responsive and accurate as on your smartphone screen, so bear that in mind too. Force Touch is a useful feature that has come to smartwatches, notably the Apple Watch. Just press down or tap the screen to activate different features.
As you'd expect, it has GPS and GLONASS alongside a heart rate monitor to bolster its fitness credentials. Other features include offline Spotify support, which is great for anyone who wants music without having to carry along their phone. Tizen is currently the only watch operating system to offer offline Spotify, too. Unfortunately, Tizen app support is otherwise lacking compared to rivals.
The first digital watch, which debuted in 1972, was the Pulsar manufactured by Hamilton Watch Company. "Pulsar" became a brand name which would later be acquired by Seiko in 1978. In 1982, a Pulsar watch (NL C01) was released which could store 24 digits, making it most likely the first watch with user-programmable memory, or "memorybank" watch.[9] With the introduction of personal computers in the 1980s, Seiko began to develop computers in the form of watches. The Data 2000 watch (1983) came with an external keyboard for data-entry. Data was synced from the keyboard to the watch via electro-magnetic coupling (wireless docking). The name comes from its ability to store 2000 characters. The D409 was the first Seiko model with on-board data entry (via a miniature keyboard) and featured a dot matrix display.[10] Its memory was tiny, at only 112 digits.[9] It was released in 1984, in gold, silver and black.[11] These models were followed by many others by Seiko during the 1980s, most notably the "RC Series": During the 1980s, Casio began to market a successful line of "computer watches", in addition to its calculator watches. Most notable was the Casio data bank series. Novelty "game watches", such as the Nelsonic game watches, were also produced by Casio and other companies.[citation needed]
At the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, a large number of new smartwatches were released from various companies such as Razer Inc,[67] Archos,[68] and several other companies, as well as a few startups. Some had begun to call the 2014 CES, a "wrist revolution"[69] because of the number of smartwatches released and the huge amount of publicity they began to receive at the start of 2014. At Google I/O on 25 June 2014, the Android Wear platform was introduced and the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live were released. The Wear-based Moto 360 was announced by Motorola in 2014.[70] At the end of July, Swatch's CEO Nick Hayek announced that they will launch a Swatch Touch with smartwatch technologies in 2015.[71] In the UK, the Wearable Technology Show had its début in London and was host to several smartwatch companies exhibiting their newest models.
Why we like it: Garmin's Vívosport fitness band gives you more (and more-accurate) fitness tracking features than a smartwatch, though you won't be able to respond to messages and notifications or use apps on your wrist. The Vívosport lasts up to a week on a single battery charge, while an Apple Watch or Android Wear device requires overnight charging. Its screen always shows stats during a workout, while smartwatches like the Apple Watch typically turn off when you're not looking at them. And you can wear a Vívosport while you sleep to get at least a rough view of how restful your night was without having to worry about charging it every morning. All these things give you a better overall picture of how active and healthy you are, and make it more convenient to wear one smaller device all the time: You won't have to grab a phone to track a run, you won't have to wear a large, utilitarian-looking GPS watch to work, and you'll rarely have to worry about battery life during a long workout. The Vívosport also tracks heart rates and GPS location nearly as well as a GPS watch (with some exceptions), but in a smaller and less noticeable package.
Aside from its display, the Ticwatch Pro is a pretty standard offering in the Wear OS world. It's powered by the same Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset, has a 400×400 1.39-inch OLED display, and has a 45mm casing. There's also a 415mAh battery inside which charges with a magnetic charger. There's also IP68 water/dust protection, and NFC for use with Google Pay.
In the same year, Microsoft announced the SPOT smartwatch and it began hitting stores in early 2004.[30] SPOT stands for Smart Personal Objects Technology, an initiative by Microsoft to personalize household electronics and other everyday gadgets. For instance, the company demonstrated coffee makers, weather stations, and alarm clocks featuring built-in SPOT technology.[31] The device was a standalone smartwatch[32] that offered information at a glance where other devices would have required more immersion and interaction. The information included weather, news, stock prices, and sports scores and was transmitted through FM waves.[30] It was accessible through a yearly subscription that cost from $39 to $59.[31]

Lenny Kravitz's Junk Fell Out On Stage
Ana Kasparian (The Point) and Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick) hosts of The Young Turks discuss. Should guys wear underwear to avoid wardrobe malfunctions like Lenny's. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Lenny Kravitz was performing in Stockholm and during his performance he had a little bit of a mishap. It turns out that as he kind of bent down with his guitar while he was performing. So all of a sudden the seam in the top of his pants crotchel region ripped open.
Read more here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/kimber....leydadds/lenny-kravi
Lenny Kravitz performed at a concert in Stockholm on Monday night. Please note the very tight leather trousers.
Unfortunately for him he wasn't wearing underwear.
We know this because he then performed a "particularly enthusiastic squat" and revealed his dick to the world.

From over a decade's worth of experience as a vintage clothing seller and collector, we are sharing some general care and laundering advice gleaned from women of the past. Practicing these "vintage" methods is another way to be more sustainable.
- Wear a slip with your garments to keep your garments cleaner longer (in most cases it takes much less water/resources to launder a slip than it does a garment)
- Wear your garments more than once before laundering
- Use cold water to launder your garments, hot water can deconstruct the fibers of your garments more and also can cause shrinkage.
- If using a machine, only wash full loads of laundry
- Hang garments to dry (every Adored Vintage girl loves seeing clothes on a line!) Dryers can really be rough on your garments (that lint trap is literally bits of your clothes as it slowly falls apart!)
- Spot clean garments immediately
- Hand wash your clothing as often as possible.
- Learn simple repair and mend skills to increase the longevity of your garments.

Everyone Talks to Everyone
16 February – 9 June 2013
Dowse Art Museum
Niki Hastings-McFall / Sean Kerr / Alvie McKree / Fiona Pardington / Michael Parekowhai / Suji Park / Sofia Tekela-Smith / Vaimaila Urale & Johann Nortje/ Selina Woulfe
Are we living in the age of digital reproduction? Do we need to physically see objects or will a photograph suffice?
Everyone Talks to Everyone explores the value of objects in the digital age, investigating how physical and personal connections allow us to invest meaning into everyday objects. This exhibition brings together photography, sculpture and digital art to examine connections between craft, design and contemporary art; questioning how objects may continue to have meaning for us in a digital age.
The show creates unexpected links between objects and representations of them. Typeface, a collaboration by Vaimaila Urale and Johann Nortje, immerses us into the artwork with a live digital projection. The placement of artworks by Michael Parekowhai, Niki Hastings-McFall and Sean Kerr creates a space to rethink the commemorative and decorative nature of synthetic flowers. Alvie McKree toys with conventional museum display by building her own gallery to exhibit a unique collection of objects.
Some of the artworks in this show reflect on the continuing relevance of objects in an increasingly digital world. Others suggest the role objects play in our lives when invested with values such as memory and loss. Our personal attachment to objects is questioned and now reflected in new ways through new mediums.

Autonomous vehicle conference coming to Canada and discussing "disruptive technology"
Published: February 8, 2016
Updated: July 24, 2018
Author: Luke Jones
CATEGORY: Car Insurance | Industry News
Love them or loathe them, autonomous vehicles are the future. In fact, they are not even a distant future as manufacturers are expected to start rolling out their first partly-autonomous vehicles over the next two years. There are all kinds of debates about whether this new technology is good, bad, dangerous, safe, or whether it will kill the auto insurance industry.
Many of these questions will be tackled at the first Canadian Conference on Autonomous Vehicles, this April 19 and 20, hosted by the Conference Board of Canada. Called "Planning the Next Disruptive Technology" the event could be construed as a meeting of those who are utterly opposed to autonomous vehicles, but that it not the case.
Indeed, speakers from all areas and opinions will be at the conference and the truth is, autonomous vehicle technology is disruptive. It will transform numerous industries, including auto insurance, car manufacturing, city planning, and more. The Conference Board points this out in the promotional material for the upcoming event:
"Several manufacturers have indicated that automated vehicles will be on the market by 2020. As it stands, many Canadian jurisdictions simply aren't ready for a future that includes AVs. To ensure a positive driver less future, we need to start planning now."
Barrie Kirk, Executive Director of the Canadian Automated Vehicles Centre of Excellence (CAVCOE), will be one of the speakers at the event and he is explicit in his belief that autonomous vehicles will shake numerous industries over the next decade to quarter of a century, speaking to Collision Repair Magazine, he said:
"My message was, starting about 2020, the auto insurance business model is going to be severely disrupted, for all kinds of reason that are coming together just now … We think there will be about 80 percent fewer collisions, and therefore 80 percent fewer cars that need repair."
He adds that manufacturers are already agreeing to assume liability by including a liability life bundle for claims into the cost of the car. That will cause significant turmoil in the auto insurance industry as the industry will have less claims to process, with manufacturers potentially setting up their own insurance products.

warning: mentions and/or discussions of kidnapping, suicide (very detailed descriptions, if it makes you uncomfortable or triggers any past events then please skip chapter viii), and death.
(i.) : ave atque vale
scorn and despair, these are mine empire:
For Ushijima, there are no fond memories of Mt. Olympus—only the taste of rotten ambrosia on his tongue, his brother's sharp, mocking gaze across the room, and the scalding brightness of the sun that leaves him longing for his pitch black kingdom below.
"What are you doing here?" a stern voice demands behind him. He hears the rustle of brass and horse hair plumes and the promise of victory in his blood. "You haven't set foot in here for almost a century."
"Iwaizumi." He bows his head in polite greeting. "I've come here to make a request to Oikawa."
"He's in the throne room." Athena points to a grand door embellished with gold statues and ivory columns at the end of the corridor. "You are aware that the chances of him granting your request is unlikely, right?"
"I am aware," he said quietly, "but it matters not."
"Hmm," the god of wisdom hums knowingly, "well, good luck then."
He passes by Hermes, who greets him with a warm hug and a firm pat on the back. "It's my underworld bro, Ushijima! What are you doing here up in the clouds, huh? Must be some really important stuff since you hardly come up here. Anyway, check out these badass winged sandals Aone made for me! They're like, the best thing in the world!" and asks him for a high five after which he hesitantly returns with lesser vigor, but returned nonetheless. Beside him, Hestia mutters a quiet apology for his companion's behavior with a worn-out expression and silver half-moons under his eyes.
Hades pities him sometimes.
He wonders if the others pity him too.
"Oh, if it isn't Ushiwaka!" Zeus exclaims when Ushijima enters the room, his sarcastic tone full of venom and spite, like he was born in a pit full of snakes. "To what do I owe the disgust of your visit today?"
Ushijima ignores his comment and kneels in front of him. "Oikawa, king of the gods, I have come to ask your permission for [Name], daughter of the one who rules over agriculture and harvest, her hand in marriage—"
"Go to hell, Ushiwaka-chan."
Ushijima tilts his head to the side, eyes blinking. "... But I rule the underworld? Is that not what we decided?" he asked, the mockery lost on him as always.
"It is always frustrating to talk to you, dear brother," he said, but waved him off, "whatever, I'll allow it. I have no objections—oh, and you should just abduct her. There's no way Kiyoko-chan will agree to this."
The dark god stares at him in disbelief.
"What?" he sighed, a frown settling on his lips, but his eyes said more: why are you still here? Leave, leave, leave—
"It is unnatural for you to concede so easily."
"If you think I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart, you're very, very wrong." Oikawa rises from his throne of gold and ivory, taking all the brilliance of the sun with him. Below the heavens, thunder escapes the clouds. "It's so you can finally stay in that dreary kingdom of yours for good."
(ii.) : rosētum
and many woven garlands
made of flowers
around your soft throat.
"Mother tells me I mustn't go above the clouds, where Mt. Olympus is," you tell Yachi one day, while picking marigolds and lavenders and hyacinths in the quiet meadows of Nysa, "because all the gods there are vile creatures who bring ruin to mortals, and sometimes even other gods."
"T-That's right! The other day, I saw Atsumu-san chasing a maiden against her will in a forest once," she whispered, eyes darting around the field to make sure no one's listening. "Then after that, she prayed—begged—her father to save her and was turned into a tree."
"How cruel," you reply, weaving a flower crown in your soft, gentle hands, always careful not to touch the thorns of roses. "Do you think mortals were only created for it to be ruined by gods?"
"Well, Iwaizumi-san brings glory to mortals of great valor."
"None of the heroes were happy in the end, though. Heracles, Theseus, Jason, Hector, Achilles—all of them suffered." You stand up and brush the leftover petals off your chiton and place the finished flower crown on top of your friend's head. "You always look wonderful with lavenders, Yachi. Anyway, I'm going over there to the other side."
"Please don't stray too far, [Name]! It might be dangerous!"
"You don't have to worry so much, Yachi," you laugh, light as the summer breeze. "I'm only going to pick more flowers. What harm could be brought upon me?"
Somewhere beyond, the Moirai laugh at your sweet naivety, and continue spinning the thread of fate as Ushijima opens the earth and drags you down the underworld with him.
Mother never warned me about the god below.
(iii.) : regno sopra fantasmi
my bones do not taste of crown and silver
I am not a thing to be owned
When you're forcefully dragged to the underworld, it is not the sight of anguished souls that pains you.
It is the stench of decay.
The kingdom fills your lungs with millenniums of funeral pyres and burnt flesh, the metallic tang of dried blood and ash lingers in your throat, on the back of your tongue like a disease that has no cure. Still, something heavier plagues this never ending inferno, something more heartbreaking.
The burden of excruciating loneliness.
You want to leave and never come back.
"Release me, you wretched beast! Mother—!"
The dark god narrows his eyes. "I'm not an animal."
"I'm insulting you."
"If that is so, then it's not a proper insult. Animals are kind creatures if not provoked." He points to his three headed dog, Cerberus, who has not stopped wagging his tail since his master's return. "Dogs have especially earned my admiration."
"I don't care for your preferences towards dogs," you spat angrily, but the soft whining of the dog fills you with guilt. "Why did you abduct me?"
"Were you not aware of my proposal?" he replies, feigning ignorance.
"What... proposal? I don't understand—"
"I asked your father for you hand in marriage, and he allowed it."
"My father told me nothing of this arrangement!"
"How like him to keep you in the dark," he smiles sadly, and sighs, "I suppose your mother is also ignorant of this."
"Then, will you let me go?"
"That is not necessary," he answered, and looks up despite seeing nothing but black, remembering the taste of rotten ambrosia once more. "Your mother's wrath and despair will soon make heaven move."
(iv.) : fiat justitia, ruat caelum
I dream of massacres
I am a garden of black and red agonies
I curse you.
"You took my child away from me!" Demeter screams, her voice raw and brimming with despair.
I curse you.
"Technically, it wasn't me," Oikawa tries to reason. "It was—"
"It does not matter who executed the plan." Kiyoko finds the rage and turns them into wild beasts in her heart, devouring all her thoughts of forgiveness. "You are still an instrument to this injustice."
I curse you.
"Are you threatening me?"
"No. I will let my grief speak for itself."
I curse you.
"The mortals shall bear your sin," Kiyoko turns to leave, taking all the seasons with her, and lets the earth wither and shrivel against the cold, abysmal winter. Everything dear to you must die, she thinks. Everything. "Remember my wrath, brother. Remember it well."
I curse you.
This, I promise.
(v.) : ex urna resurgam
you believed yourself into goddess
who says you were wrong?
"Hey, Ushijima! Didn't think I'd be seeing you this soon," Bokuto appears by the entrance of the underworld with his winged sandals. "I guess you already know why I'm here."
"Oikawa wants [Name] back, I presume."
"Yeah," he replies, scratching the back of his neck and grinning rather awkwardly, "Kiyoko-san kind of, uh, started a famine and we haven't been receiving any sacrifices, so..."
"I will not disobey." The underworld god rises from his obsidian throne. "Will you let me talk to [Name] first before they leave?"
"Sure, don't take too long, though," he tells them, "People are starving and dying up there!"
Ushijima simply nods and guides you near the river Styx.
"I will not be unkind to you," he says, almost like a whisper, "When you are here, you shall rule all that lives and moves and shall have the greatest rights among the deathless gods: those who wrong you shall always be punished, if they do not appease your spirit with sacrifices, performing sacred rites and making due offerings."
"Are you really—"
"Yes, I am offering you a bargain of godhood."
"But why?"
"Did you not want to become a goddess of the underworld?" he asks, confused.
"I don't—I don't know. I have never been offered something this grand," you look away, and murmur, "I've always been under my mother's shadow."
"I understand. I will give you time to decide."
"If... I do accept your offer, what do you want in return?"
He slips a handful of pomegranate seeds in your hands. "I suppose you know what this means." The corners of lips quirk up slightly, but he mostly smiles with his eyes. "You are the maiden of spring and summer after all."
Hades bids you a safe journey after, and sends you home with his golden chariot. Bokuto takes the reins and the sound of the whip cracks against the empty, dark halls, flying out from the pitch black kingdom and into the open sky.
"I think you're made for the dark, though. It suits you," the messenger god chimed beside you.
"What makes you say that?"
"Your name 'Persephone' has another meaning, didn't you know?" he laughs, eyes filled with bright gold and endless summer. Sometimes you wonder why he was not born a sun god. "'To bring death.'"
(vi.) : nil desperandum
a game of truth and lies
come, won't you play with me?
"[Name]!" Kiyoko rushes towards you when the golden chariot lands in a soft patch of earth beside Demeter's temple, encircling her arms around your body and crying. "Are you fine? You aren't hurt? Did he—"
"I'm fine, mother. Please don't shed your tears for me."
"How could I not?" she sobbed, "Did you, by any chance, consume any food when you were in the underworld? Tell me."
"Calm down, mother. Let me recount the story of my trials. I will tell you the whole truth."
"When Bokuto came to fetch me so that I may see you again, I sprang up for joy."
(Offered me divine power. Redacted.)
"He forced me to consume the honey-sweet seeds—" A wail erupts from her mother's throat.
"—and so I must stay with him a third of the season come winter time."
"I was in Nysa with my dearest friend Yachi when the earth shook and opened up, and Ushijima carried me off against my will to the underworld."
"I am telling you the whole truth, even though it grieves me."
"But you know what, mother?" you smile, the sharp edges of your teeth peeking out of your lips. "The pomegranate seeds tasted wonderful."
(vii.) : non omnis moriar
and wept because she had dreamt that I was born to wear a crown
You're picking flowers in the fields again, like the innocent girl you used to be.
Used to be.
Demeter's hands tighten to a fist. My sweet little girl—
"Mother, are you alright? You look ill."
"I'm—... I-I'm fine. No need to worry, my sweet child," she says hastily, "But I think it would be better if I rested in the temple for a while."
"Shall I escort you?"
"It's alright." Kiyoko tucks a strand of hair behind your ear. "I can go on my own."
You kiss her right temple and she feels a trickle of blood run down her cheek, but there's nothing there. I must be going mad. "Then have safe trip, dear mother."
Had I imagined it?
Not that it really matters, because—
I no longer know who she is.
Demeter continues mourning even in the lovely season of springtime.
(viii.) : nomenque erit indelibile nostrum
and make death proud to take us
"Tell me, is this bride vault your own grave? What a dull cavern. It needs more sunflowers."
Antigone glares at the figure cloaked in black that had appeared out of nothing. "Who are you? And how did you enter?"
"A spectator," you reply, shifting away from the shadows and into the dim light, "but in truth, I'm more of an emissary of death than a spectator, really."
"... Persephone."
"How lovely! The first time a mortal has said my name without trembling in fear," you chuckle, and rest your elbows on a slab of stone. "You really aren't afraid of death, are you?"
"There's no reason to be," she replies, stitching pieces of fabric together, and looks up to you. There are no tears, no despair in her eyes. "When I made a decision to bury my brother against my uncle-king Creon's decree, I've already accepted my fate to death."
"You squander your life for a dead brother?"
"Because I refuse to let his corpse rot without proper burial rites, as what should have been his right, even if he was a traitor," she snapped, "Do you expect me to watch crows and feral dogs feed off from my brother's carcass while I hide behind city gates like a coward? I would dishonor the gods."
"I admire your love for your family, that you would choose death for them, even when Oedipus has brought you nothing but humiliation and disgust from the people of Thebes."
"My father's fate was brought about by unfortunate circumstances and ignorance. Perhaps, if he had known his birth parents, he would not have married his own mother, and she would not have given birth to us." She ties the stitched linen into a loose knot, and added, "And perhaps I would not need to bury my own brother, or to die."
Antigone grips the worn out fabric, snow white knuckles carving out from her hand. "Tell me, are gods always so cruel?"
"Not always," you beamed, delighted at the question you know the answer to. "You'll see."
"But you are lucky to have been loved by your father," you said wistfully, "I never received any love from him, even after centuries have passed."
"Then maybe you never had a father to begin with," the maiden replies, as if suddenly aware of her wisdom. "I'll be leaving now, but I suppose I'll be seeing you soon."
"What of your sister Ismene?" you ask suddenly, while Antigone drags a wooden chair and tiptoes on top of it. She ties the end of the fabric on the ceiling and hangs the snare around her soft, pale neck.
"Her choice was to live," she said, smoothing the noose coiled around her neck, "mine to die."
Antigone smiles one last time, kicks the chair away from her, and falls to her death.
(Later, Creon's son and wife forfeit their life by their own hands, and the poor king must live with his grief.)
(ix.) : memento mori
if I cannot move heaven—
"Father, it's good to see you're doing well."
Oikawa flinches at the sound of your voice and steels himself, and takes a sharp intake of air. "[Name], I—"
You interrupt him. "I haven't forgiven you, father, did you know that?"
"Mother hasn't either, if you wanted to know." She traces the outline of an ivory statues and comments, "needs more black. You should have this repainted."
Oikawa instinctively reaches for his thunderbolt and tightens his hold on his weapon. "Have you come for retribution?"
"You're so impatient," you laugh, the sound of thunderclap and dark summers in your sweet, honeyed voice, and saunter towards the throne until you're only inches away from him. "There's no need to rush to your death."
Before Zeus can strike, you seize his jaw and clench it hard enough to draw blood, and force him to face his sun-lit empire. "Look to your kingdoms, father—"
"I'm coming for them all."
I will raise hell.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. — Cherry Creek High School principal Ryan Silva reached out to community members on Friday to offer mental health support to students after three suicides occurred within the community during the past two months.
An email addressed to CCHS states that mental health support is available for students until 6 p.m. on Friday and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The Cherry Creek School District has reported two students deaths at CCHS. Additionally, a student at St. Mary's Academy — a private school in Cherry Hills Village — also killed themselves last week. According to the district, that student attended Cherry Creek schools for most of their life.
"Our hearts are heavy as we struggle with this loss, so soon after the loss, our school suffered in February. It is important that we come together as a community and support each other during this difficult and heartbreaking time," principal Silva said in an email to the CCHS community.

The new Samsung Galaxy S10 isn't just one or two phones, but a series of four phones. If your Matrix has problems and is still within its warranty period, you could contact Pantech support or the retailer you purchased the phone from. As a result, the Matrix sits nicely in the hand, and when the backlit keyboard is exposed, it almost feels sleek.

Mobile-formatted WAP pages fared much better. The player runs both in the background and with the slide closed, unlike on the Propel, making this a valid music player if you have Bluetooth headphones or can find a headset that fits the Matrix's proprietary jack.
I see where other people have had problems with the slider, I have not had that problem thankfully. Even after you have taken a photo, the zoom makes no sence, it zooms in all the way, and you cant do anything about it, also, it lacks a flash.
Slide the screen pqntech and you get a keypad of very flat keys separated by small raised dots. The same kinda goes for messages; when you press back, it will ask to save to drafts.

The battery is adequate as far as cellular use. The handset is also on the bulky side. The Matrix also edges out the Propel on voice and music performance, though the Pantexh has a better camera. This year, a lot of exciting phones were announced, including the first commercial 5G and foldable phones. There are some key things missing. Good value, but clumsy to use at times I got this texting phone for my wife, who was using a non-texting phone to do lots of texting.

A pizza delivery driver was reduced to tears by the kindness of a church congregation - who left him a £463 tip.
Jeff Louis, 22, who works for Gionino's pizza shop in Mentor, Ohio, USA, had been asked to come in early to make a lunch delivery to the Life Point Church.
But when he got there, he was invited into the religious building by members of the congregation, to hand deliver one pizza directly to the pastor.
Ken Wright, who was leading the service, had already decided to tip Jess as it was coming up to Christmas.
He told WKYC News: "Yeah, I just thought, 'let's tip him $100. It's the holiday season'."
But after Jeff walked into the church, the congregation decided to have a whip-round, which totalled a whopping $700 (£463).
In the clip, Jeff sobs as he explains: "I've been having such a hard time lately, just struggling to stay clean and everything.
"And I'm just trying to get my life back.
"It just really, truly amazes me that people that don't even know me just wanted to help me out that much," he continued. "Blessed."

This place is so bloody great. Great food, but also incredible service. I've been twice for a special occasion and they've given me and the person I'm with a free glass of fizz each - such a nice touch. Definitely one of my favourite places to eat in London.
Best experience I had in a long time. Absolutely wonderful meal! Thank you
The food was absolutely incredible! Can't wait to get their cookbook after eating there
The name says it all. Absolute quality. The food was outstanding and the service was great. Wine wasn't too pricey for a place like this and was equally good.
We both had game birds and while both were excellent, my wife had the Teal (which I tried a bit of) and it was so tasty I'll be having that next time I go.
Sublime as ever, the game tea remains a firm favourite.
Read an article on the restaurant happened to be in the area so booked a table and enjoyed a thoroughly enjoyable lunch
Roast pork almost raw. Sent back and on return smaller amount given with outextras which had ro be subsequently requested e.g. apple sause, mushrooms. Insulted when asked to vacate table after 2 hour lunch. We were hosting an American professor who we had not seen for a long time and wanted to introduce him to Englush food. Very disappointing and will not recommend.
Can't fault the food all very good. But patronising waiters spoilt the occasion. Being told I'd ordered the wrong wine to go with my meal, left a horrible taste in my mouth.
Very good food
Very very good! I will be going back again very soon.
Great food. I had been to the shop before but never the restaurant. Well recommended for a slightly different eating experience, especially if you love meat.
Creative but simple Lunch menu focussed on great ingredients. Free corkage Mondays is a winner. 'Traditional' benches = uncomfortable seats but at least there are cushions. Will go back.
Best Sunday lunch in London by a mile !!! Gee you guys are rocking it !!!
Excellent food and service. Only slight niggle was how warm and stuffy the restaurant got, which made the experience a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise it was all very good.
It's got character and charm but be warned the ventilation is not great so you will come out smelling like you work in a fish and chip shop.
Friendly and enthusiastic serving staff, great food.
Great settings, a very convincing choice of natural and un-usual wines, and obviously high quality meats to choose from !
thought the roast was great, plenty of food and if you needed anything extra the waitress was very helpful!
Another amazing Sunday roast here. Took friends with us who agreed it's probably the best roast they'd ever had. Thanks Quality Chop House for a great Sunday, never fails to impress.
Fantastic food and lovely staff, unfortunately the white wine was served too cold but we still wouldn't hesitate to come here again. The confit potatoes are incredible!
absolutely superb . the confit potatoes did not disappoint but all four of us had different dishes and all thought it was amazing . keep up the good work and compliments to the unsung heroes and heroines in the kitchen
Great food, great room and great service. Have already recommended it to all my friends
Great meal! Fantastic steak and good service. We will come back.
Great service with attention to details, really good cooking and a fantastic wine list!
The food was ok
First time won't be the last well. Client discussion perfect table service great food, impressive wine list and good value. An eclectic range of customers so business or pleasure... Don't be put off by the front of the building go and explore you wont regret it!
As ever quietly brilliant. One of the finest restaurants in London.
I am still glowing from such a lovely evening here. The food was *utterly* delicious, the atmosphere was relaxed and cosy, and the staff were a total delight. It was my partner's birthday, and they gave him a card signed by the team. I had a preconception that it would be be slightly stuffy and old-fashioned, too meat heavy for me (I'm a relapsed vegetarian!) but I was wrong on all fronts - the food was classic but modern, and there were vegetarian options on the menu. I can't wait to go back, for Sunday lunch next time I think.
Good sunday roast - probably more expensive than it should be though.
Perfect once again. Only negative was a sore head next day from the lovely wine.
Great food from start to finish. We had a couple of snacks (croquettes and parfait) and both were divine. The quality didn't dip afterwards.
Fabulous grouse
Great British cooking in a lovely old restaurant. The meat was as you would expect absolutely excellent, but the sides are really how you judge these things. Courgette with anchovies was a delicious accompaniment, as were the potatoes.
The Quality Chop House never fails. It delivers excellent dishes to choose from. And there is always a surprise somewhere in the ingredients pairing. The bread is one of the best breads you´ll ever eat!
Great food and very friendly and professional staff. Loved it.
splendid sunday! thank you for this flawless experience!
Menu has traditional and original aspects. Tender meats and fresh produce. Extensive reasonably priced wine list, for the quality, and knowledgeable staff. We go every year on our anniversary (and at other times) and have always been well satisfied, wanting to come back.
Perfect dinner, perfect grouse
The food was great! Ambience was very pleasant. Used to restaurants like that being a bit loud, but the noise level was surprisingly pleasant. Not too loud, not too quiet and a very good playlist in the background. Wine was a bit pricey, otherwise good value including the complementary bread , coffee, sparkling water and small bits of fudge. Service was good from most staff, albeit one pushy waiter.
Loved everything about this place Beautiful room. Great Menu. Expensive and worth it

A finance minister in Ukraine Oleksandr Danylyuk has said he was provided with only two choices if he wants to stay at the helm or leave.
Reuters reports that Ukrainian Finance Minister Oleksandr Danylyuk said on Wednesday he was given the choice between supporting a scheme to give cash handouts to lawmakers — which he described as "political corruption" — or quit his post.
Danylyuk made the statement after Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman asked parliament to sack him following a public spat between the two. Parliament has yet to vote on the issue.
Finance Minister said he had come under huge pressure to support a program for subventions for socio-economic development in Ukraine's regions.
"Translated into the human language it is the distribution of money to the projects of ... lawmakers," he wrote. "This - political corruption - is known by people as 'buckwheat'".
The reference to buckwheat relates to the practice of bribing voters with food or by other means during election campaigns.
