Apple customers can purchase iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus in a beautiful red and black finish while contributing to the Global Fund to fight AIDS.
Apple also introduced a new (PRODUCT) RED iPhone X Leather Folio, which will be available beginning tomorrow. Crafted from specially tanned and finished European leather for a luxurious look and feel, the new folio joins other (PRODUCT)RED devices and accessories available for customers to purchase. A portion of proceeds for all (PRODUCT)RED purchases go directly to Global Fund HIV/AIDS grants that provide testing, counseling, treatment and prevention programs with a specific focus on eliminating transmission of the virus from mothers to their babies. Since partnering with (RED) in 2006, Apple has donated more than $160 million to the Global Fund, serving as the organization's largest corporate donor.
"This special edition (PRODUCT) RED iPhone features a stunning red and black color combination and also offers customers the opportunity to make an impact in fighting the spread of HIV and AIDS," said Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of Product Marketing. "iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus improve on everything we love about iPhone, including Retina HD displays that are more beautiful than ever, the most powerful and smartest chip ever in a smartphone with the A11 Bionic and more advanced cameras for unbelievable photos and videos. We are proud to support (RED) with this bold new iPhone and hope customers think it is as special as we do."
"This announcement is further evidence of Apple's leadership in and commitment to the AIDS fight since the beginning of (RED) in 2006," said Deborah Dugan, (RED)'s CEO. "The more than $160 million Apple has donated in the last 11 years today equates to more than 800 million days of lifesaving ARV medication that prevents the transmission of HIV from mothers to their babies. We're honored that Apple has dedicated its resources to our purpose, and can't wait to see customers bring our mission to life through the purchase of iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus (PRODUCT) RED Special Edition."

How to Choose Pet Name: Tips on Choosing The Perfect Name
Millions of names available for your four-legged sweethearts and yet wondering How to choose Pet Name? Well, quite a daunting task when you have a sea of names and yet cannot decide upon one. People tend to name their pets as if they are naming themselves and often name the new pet with the name of the previous deceased pet. Some names can often be inspired by the look or their appearance or habits while some by the color of the fur they possess. If you are looking for quick tips to consider naming your fur balls, get started with these tips in mind.
Observing traits in character
Wait for a few weeks and observe your pet's characteristics. If at all they have outstanding features that are unique then name them accordingly. For e.g. calling it Happy if the pet is extremely congenial and jovial. Name it Snoozy if it is lazy and sleeps a lot. This way of naming your pet is the most conventional, as what you see is what you name them. Also, this is the simplest way of getting on the nomenclature method.
Fictional characters as names
This is also an excellent way of naming your pets. Any famous character from the T.V. show or cartoons that you and your kids watch can be used to name your pets. Make sure that the name sounds well and your pet is responding to the call of it. For e.g. Tom, Jerry, Mickey, Donald and Goofy to name a few. This way shall work in naming them without having to think deep.
Keeping it short and concise
This way of naming pets is more for your pet's way of responding to it rather than your motive. This is specially the case with certain pets that find it difficult to relate to long names and do not respond to it. Every pet has the tendency to react and respond to shorter call-time of their names. Thus keep it short and simple for them to come running to your calls.
Naming with hard consonant and browsing internet
Pets recognize names beginning with consonants that are hard. They identify names starting with "T," "M," "K" and "S" much more quickly and easily than names that start with vowels. As a result, your pet will respond quickly in a noisy and crowded place; for e.g. Tommy, Mandy, Kandy, Snoopy, Nancy and Brownie to name a few. After all, it is also important for them to recognize their names. The internet comes handy whenever you are searching for names so make full use of it to name them.
The name game
Your pets are the apples of your eyes and naming them comes naturally to you. Often you call them using love sounds without officially deciding on a name, and yet they respond. This response is out of the love you extravagantly pour on them. Long ago and even now people say as to what's in a name but the name bears testimony to the fact as to how you see your pet. So get naming them and most importantly loving them even more because it is not the sunshine from the skies, but the twinkle and joy in your pet's eyes.

What do we know about Bruce Hornsby's next record?
What do we know about Bruce Hornsby's next record? Let's sort through some of the chatter and confirmed rumours…
Entitled "Rehab Reunion", it is released on June 17 2016 and you can pre-order on Amazon here.
Bruce describes it as "a record of all the dulcimer music I've been writing for the last couple of years… a stripped down, folk-oriented dulcimer record".
There is "not a lick" of piano on this, says Bruce, but some rock… citing Sonny Emory on drums as an example..
A Noisemakers record, guests include Mavis Staples and "maybe one or two others".
Bruce says that he wrote four new songs from mid May to mid June of 2014 – three with Chip deMatteo and one ("Over the Rise") on his own.
Most tracks were recorded in early September 2014 over a period of three and a half days.
There are possibly 8 new songs, with maybe a reworked Valley Road in addition. Songs include:
- Rehab Reunion – possible title track, described as a straight country song. Written with Chip deMatteo.
- M.I.A. In Miami – about quitting a job to head anonymously to Miami
- Tropical Cashmere Sweater – written with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter
- T.S.A. Man – about "the sensual experience of an airport security check"
- Tipping – the mental and arithmetic challenges presented by tipping in a restaurant
- The Celestial Railroad – recorded with Mavis Staples. Described by Bruce as a funky gospel song, that he wrote for Mavis in 1992/3
- Over the Rise – Bruce describes this as like an English folk song, with a "John Barleycorn" feel. Recently debuted live
- Possibly Valley Road
- One other!
Bruce has introduced other new songs to his live shows in the last couple of years. These are not thought to be part of the new record:
- Life in the Psychotropics
- Might As Well Be Me (written with Robert Hunter)
- I'll Take You There (also written with Hunter)
Do you have anything to add?

Van Dyke Parks/Robin Pecknold And Daniel Rossen/Britten Sinfonia
Van Dyke Parks was a trail-blazer for Americana long before the term was even coined, with his trio of albums, 'Song Cycle', 'Discover America' and 'Clang of the Yankee Reaper', but is perhaps best known for his work with The Beach Boys on 'Smile'. However, his own work ranges far and wide – across bluegrass, jazz, psychedelia, vaudeville, ragtime and even calypso – and he's worked as an arranger for countless big-name talents; Springsteen and Rufus Wainwright included. Here, he's joined by singers Pecknold (of Fleet Foxes) and Grizzly Bear's Rossen and the Britten Sinfonia in celebration of the reissue of those first three albums.

Some pictures and a great little story submitted by Jim Sowar:
During the Coldwater Centennial of 1938, my Dad played the role of David Buzzard -propped behind a counter of his General Store; along with a couple of village "loafers" (LaMont Hoyng and Ivo Haslinger) . One of the many skits that day Was:
Little Jimmy Sowar (I was 6 at the time) came into the store carrying a gallon bucket and said "My Mom wants me to get a dime's worth of molasses"! "A dime's worth of molasses, Sonny? OK" as Mr. Buzzard turns to his spicket . Meanwhile Ivo and LaMont were griping about the weather or whatever.
"Well here you go Sonny – here's your molasses, now how about that dime!" " MY MOM PUT THE DIME IN THE BUCKET" as little Jimmy grabs the bucket and runs out the front door!!!
(My Mother had me practice my lines for at least a week before the show!!!)

I'm a big fan of free software, and there are (thankfully) several reliable sources for downloading functional, virus-free open source programs, (like CNET, for example). However, an increasingly common annoyance often comes with free and inexpensive software—it's "bundled" with other software you may not even realize you're installing if you don't read each screen of the installation wizard carefully.
To be clear, the bundled software from trusted sources like CNET isn't malicious. These aren't viruses. Rather, these are pieces of software you just didn't realize you were getting when you downloaded something else. One of the most common varieties is browser toolbar add-ons.
Get rid of toolbars easily with Toolbar cleaner
Thankfully, Toolbar Cleaner, a free application focused on finding and deleting toolbar add-ons, makes the process of removing them a snap. Just download the application and install it. Launching the program after installation will open a simple but robust window that lists every toolbar and add-on associated with each browser on your computer. To remove unwanted toolbars, simply check the box beside each one you don't want and hit Remove Selected Toolbar(s) at the bottom of the window.
Be aware that Toobar Cleaner is thorough in its hunt for toolbars, add-ons and browser extensions. So thorough, in fact, that you may find some items listed you aren't familiar with. As is always the case, don't delete things until you know what they are. (Often a quick Google search is the easiest way to identify the nature of a program or add-on.)
Also pay attention while installing Toolbar Cleaner. I downloaded the program via CNET and, ironically, it came bundled with not one, but two additional applications. One of them, if you can believe it, was a toolbar. It's a good idea to be in the habit of actually reading each page of the install wizard every time you add a new program to your computer, and Toolbar Cleaner is no exception. As long as you take the time to opt out of the additional programs, they will not be installed.
Or, you could simply use Toolbar Cleaner to uninstall them.
Toolbar Cleaner is a small, handy utility that is easy to understand and, best of all, extremely useful. I tend to clean up my computer regularly, and it still managed to find a couple of toolbars that had snuck past me that I didn't realize were still installed.
Give Toolbar Cleaner a whirl. There are certainly a number of ways to get rid of toolbars easily, but this is one of the quickest, easiest options.

Alabama has the highest rate of prescription opioid abuse in the U.S. The state issues more opioid prescriptions than there are residents — which equates to roughly 1.2 prescriptions per person. Opioid addiction affects hundreds of thousands of Americans across the U.S., with Alabama ranking among the top five states in opioid overdose death increases within recent years.
Since there are more opioid prescriptions than residents in Alabama, the risk for opioid addiction is significantly high — especially when these substances are made easily accessible to youth, friends, and family members. Alabama also faces problems with alcohol and illicit drug addiction, though these numbers fall slightly below the national average.
The Heart of Dixie is home to a number of addiction treatment centers devoted to helping Alabama residents and their loved ones overcome substance abuse and addiction. Use Addictions.com to find nearby drug and alcohol rehab facilities, and to learn more about available addiction treatments. Our caring, experienced addiction counselors are available 24/7 to discuss your available treatment options.

Historically, people have been very superstitious when the thirteenth of any month falls on a Friday. Just the thought of this occurence strikes such fear in us that they created a series of horror movies of the same title.
Now, most people probably don't even know how many 13ths we can have on a Friday in one year. Using Microsoft Excel, I created calendars for every possibility (including leap years) and found how many times a year we needed to watch out for Jason.
For example, click here to see a calendar of a non-leap year with January 1st on a Sunday. Notice all of the Friday the Thirteenths are colored in red.
Now, I realize these aren't your typical calendars. But I have certain markings to let you know what is going on. As stated above, the thirteenths of any month that happen to fall on a Friday are colored in red. And, also, all of the firsts of the month are colored in a light green. As you look through each possible year, you can find how many Friday the Thirteenths are in each occurence. They are listed according to which day of the week January 1st will fall on.
Normal Year: Sunday / Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday / Saturday
Leap Year: Sunday / Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday / Saturday
We are currently in the year 2000, which is a leap year. As you should already know, leap years occur every four years and the difference is the additional day at the end of the month of February. January 1, 2000 fell on a Saturday and so, if you go to the choices and select Saturday under leap year, you will have a calendar of the year 2000. If you look at the friday column, you will find only one 13. This is the lowest possible number of friday the thirteenths in any given year. Now, look again through the rest and try to find the maximum possible friday the thirteenths.
If you look, you will find that in a non - leap year there are three friday the thirteenths only when January 1 is on a Thursday. In the leap years, the only possibility is the Sunday selection. So, the most we can have in one year is three but we can have no fewer than one. Pretty interesting. Let's look at some other information.
Let's take a look at the next ten years and see how many friday the thirteenths we can expect. The year 2000 ends on a Sunday, so January 1, 2001 will be on a Monday. Here below is each year and the calendar from 2000 to 2010.
2001 / 2002 / 2003 / 2004 / 2005 / 2006 / 2007 / 2008 / 2009 / 2010
2 / 2 / 1 / 2 / 1 / 2 / 2 / 1 / 3 / 1
Below the years are the number of friday the thirteenths you can expect in order. So, looks like 2009 will be the year for the spooks and we will have a total of 17 in this decade.
The last thing I want to look at is an odd occurence in the calendars. Let's look at a non-leap year that begin on a thursday. The year 2009 will actually be one of these years. Notice the months of February and March. Notice that the thirteenth of each month falls on a Friday. In no other year do two successive months have thirteenths on a Friday. Now, let's try to find out why.
Well, first off, we know that in a non-leap year February has 28 days and March has 31. So, if the thirteenth falls on a Friday in February, then there are only 15 days left in month. And, if we add thirteen to that we get 28. What do we know about 28? It happens to be a multiple of ...... 7! And, weeks are seven days long. Therefore, we know that four weeks from the thirteenth of February is the thirteenth of March. And, since the first one occurs on a Friday, they both do.
So, check your calendars and beware because you never know when you might have three scary days in one year.

Updated December 20, 2016
This video demonstrates how to use Network Configuration Manager and covers topics such as navigating the Web console, how to backup devices, how to check & compare configuration changes, how to set up the change approval process and run and customize reports.
All NCM versions
In this session, we're going to show you how to get up to speed with Network Configuration Manger, also known as NCM.
Most customers purchase NCM to manage backups, but there are many more features that can help you begin to automate your configuration management tasks.
The objective of this video is to provide a better understanding of NCM's common features and to demonstrate how these features can be implemented to allow you to become more proactive in addressing issues.
For the sake of time, we will assume NCM has been installed and that devices have been added for monitoring.
If you are new to SolarWinds products, I would suggest watching the Orion Platform series videos to get you familiar with common features, such as, Reporting & Alerting.
Let's login to the Orion web console and get acquainted with the information presented in the NCM summary page.
Click on My Dashboards and Config. Summary.
What you are looking at is a collection of web resources, each displaying different types of information.
These resources can be customized by clicking Edit on a resource or, to control which resources are displayed on this page, you can go to Customize Page here.
Let's look at the Node List resource. This is where all your managed devices will appear.
The Group By drop down menu allows you to sort the nodes in an organized fashion.
I have mine grouped by vendor in case I need to push updates to all devices of a specific vendor.
If you need to access a device in the list, you simply click and drill in to the device.
This pulls up the device details page.
I'd like to focus on the Configs tab.
The Configs tab provides access to all the 'NCM-centric' data for this device.
Below are several options for managing this device. There is no need to use a separate tool to download a configuration. You can do that directly from the Download Config resource. Just select the type of configuration you need and click Download.
Note that these task can also be done on the Configuration Management page.
You can execute a script (pause) or upload a configuration, simply by selecting what you want (pause) and clicking Upload.
On the right you'll see the Last 5 Config Changes. If you want to see the last 10 configuration changes, just click edit on this resource and enter the desired number.
The Compare Configs resource allows you to select two configurations from different time periods to compare to one another based on certain dates.
You could also run a Config Change Report directly. These reports display where changes are detected and provide Before and After columns with colors that designate the changes.
Let's go back to the summary page and look at helpful chart.
The Overall Devices Backed Up vs Not Backed Up resource provides a pie chart representing the percentage of backed up versus not-backed up devices over a specific period of time.
I have it set to the As of Last Update time frame.
This time frame is based on the last time an update occurred and any changes made thereafter. An update occurs when you run inventory, download configuration files, or execute a baseline of your network.
The chart itself is interactive and clickable.
Let's take a look at the nodes that haven't been backed up.
By simply clicking into the chart you'll get a list of nodes.
Sometimes nodes don't have backups or the backups fail. This could be happening for many reasons.
To find out why some of these devices haven't been backed up, we'll need to visit the Configuration Management feature.
To open the Configuration Management feature, I'm going to click on My Dashboards, then Configuration Management.
When I click on the Transfer Status tab I can find out exactly why the backups were not completed by looking in the Status/Details column. Also notice that there are suggested actions to resolve the issue.
Another resource I would like to draw your attention to on the Summary Page is the search feature, which is very powerful.
It allows you to search for specific text within configurations on all or some of your managed nodes.
You can specify whether you want to search all downloaded configuration files or only the most recently downloaded ones. You can also specify a date range within the past week, the current month, the last month or specific dates.
You can also specify the type of configurations to search: running, startup or edited.
If you perform a search based on a specific keyword, NCM will display the results with your keyword highlighted. Clicking on a result will take you to the Config Details page. From here, you can save the config to file or edit it.
Let's talk about one of the main reasons people use NCM and that is for automated backups.
What we want to do is visit the jobs list to see what jobs are currently scheduled.
By default, NCM backs up any nodes you have added, using a TFTP copy running command.
All of the jobs you see here come out of the box. Some are already enabled by default, including the Nightly Config Backup job.
This is out-of-the-box job downloads the configuration files for all nodes in the database on a nightly basis.
By clicking Edit, you can modify the example for your specific needs, or you can create a new job by clicking Create New Job.
You simply name the job, (pause) and select Download Configs from Devices from the Job Type drop down menu.
Then select the Schedule Type.
If you are creating an advanced schedule, enter the appropriate 'cron' expressions.
Add a comment if needed, for example, this job relates to a business rule, and click Next.
Select the nodes to target with this job, (pause) and click Next.
Select your email notification option.
Most importantly, select the configuration types you want to download, then select the Send Config Change Notifications.
Review the settings for the job, and click Finish.
Suppose you need to find a previous configuration file.
There are several ways you can find an archived configuration. Use the search feature, particularly if you know specific details about the file, or go to the Nodes List and select the node. You'll be presented with the most recent configurations for the device.
Just select a configuration and then Save to File. You can also edit the configuration directly from here.
Before you do that you may want to do a configuration comparison to ensure you have the correct file.
When you enable the change approval system, NCM prevents the system from executing device uploads until an NCM administrator has approved the scheduled job.
Setting up this system is pretty straightforward. You need to go into the NCM Settings and go through the Setup Wizard.
The wizard walks you through the types of approval modes. A one level approval, a two level mode for non-privileged users and a two-level mode for all users.
Select the desired level, (pause) setup your email server, (pause) and configure your email settings.
Finally, you need to ensure that the user roles have a Web-Uploader status. Click Manage Users, select the user role (pause) and then click Edit.
Scroll down the page to the NCM settings (pause) and confirm that the role is enabled.
This confirms that the user account will have future configuration changes approved.
If setting up an approval process is not applicable in your environment, yet you still want to be informed about changes occurring to your devices, you can enable the configuration change reports to be emailed to you.
Simply go to My Dashboards and click Jobs. Now locate the Example Daily Config Change Report. This is the report you are going to edit to fit your needs. This report comes out of the box with NCM. Click Edit.
You can change the title and setup the schedule for your report. Right now it's defaulted at 6am. Click Next.
This is where you select the nodes you want the report to run against. Click Next.
You'll want to verify that Email Results is selected and that the Sender and Recipient names are correct. This is who will be getting the email report at 6am. Click Next.
On the job specific details page you'll want to select the configuration type to run the report against.
Select a configuration file by date to compare against the most recently downloaded one.
You can select to show changes over the past number of days or only changes made between certain time periods.
Most importantly you can check this if you only want to receive an email about the devices that have had changes.
Click Next to review and finish.
Next, you'll need to go back and s elect the report from list and enable it. Now this report is scheduled.
Let's talk about another powerful feature-- the Configuration Management console. This is where you do a majority of your tasks, such as, updating access lists, modifying community strings, or making other changes to multiple devices at once.
You'll see the managed nodes in the left hand column and you'll see the applicable actions you can take on the selected nodes.
Just select the nodes you want to make changes to and then select an action.
You can either upload or download configurations, compare them, and even run a Configuration Change Report.
Clicking the Upload button allows you to run a command--no CLI needed. Just enter the command and click Upload.
NCM will ask you to confirm the action.
Once you have executed an action, you can verify the results by looking on the Transfer Status tab.
Scroll to the right and click Show Upload Results.
Back on the Config. Management tab, you can take more actions, such as executing a script, by selecting a node and then clicking Execute Script.
You can load a script from a file or paste one in and save it for future use. You also have the option to Execute Script in Config Mode or reboot the device if needed.
Again, as with any action, NCM will ask you to confirm before continuing.
Inventory Reports are a must have for compliance reporting and needed for Cisco Smart Advisor reports. There is a free connector tool required for those reports.
You can choose from several unique inventory reports, or create your own.
NCM ships with many reports, including Cisco Chassis IDs and the Cisco IOS Image reports.
I'm going to search for "Inventory" to locate the IOS Versions report. Select it and click View Report. Here is a summary of all my Cisco nodes with IP addresses and IOS versions.
So, to wrap up our session; we took a look at how to start using NCM to automate some common everyday tasks, and how NCM can help you to move from having a reactive approach into having a proactive approach with configuration management. Here is a
brief list of some best practices you can implement in your environment:

Burbank is slated to receive $90,000 in state funding to help run a police task force monitoring individuals released from prison under the Public Safety Realignment Act, which redirected certain former inmates and parole violators from state to local supervision.
The bill, which went into effect in October 2011, resulted in the release of more than 18,000 former inmates into Los Angeles County in its first two years for post-release community supervision. Currently, Burbank is home to 24 of them, according to a city report.
The regional task force — a team of seven from the Burbank, Glendale and San Fernando police departments, and the Los Angeles County Probation Department — works to monitor the individuals and conduct compliance checks. The task force deals specifically with the three cities that are involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
By Maestro Monteverdi and the rest of The Afghanistan Posse
Q: Are you really from Afghanistan?
A: Sure, how can you dare not to believe us!
Q: Do you accept articles from foreigners?
A: Yes, we would, if anybody wrote them.
Q: What's your relationship with the Taleban?
A: Under Taleban rule eL aFGHANO was also known as "official newsletter of the emirate of aghanistan" but actually we were never friends of the Taleban. On the contrary, we were an illegal e-mag! All e-mags were illegal - use of computers was illegal. But we wanted to protect ourselves: If a Taleb finds our e-mag and reads it, he should think we're on their side, so we called ourselves "official newsletter of the emirate of aghanistan". Now Afghanistan is free (no emirate) and we needn't call ourselves so.
Q: What's your relationship with the USA?
A: We love the USA because they brought liberty to Afghanistan and we ask citizens of other countries to call the USA to bring liberty to their countries, too. (e.g. North Korea, China, France.)
Q: What's the surname of Pedro (S.)?
A: Pedro is a descendant of a very powerful Portuguese whose first name was Antonio. Antonio S. ruled the country in the 2nd half of the 20th century.
Q: What made Arturo Ui take on this pseudonym?
A: Well, what made Berthold Eugen Friedrich Brecht take on the pseudonym Bertolt Brecht?
Q: What's better, hUGi or pAIn?
A: Both suck, so why do you care anyway? However, pAIn has far less articles than hUGi so there are far less things that suck about it.
Q: What do I have to do to please the one and only?
A: Pray with head towards Kabul six times a day, read every new eL aFGHANO when it's released and worship Napoleon the Prophet.
Q: What do Jacques Chirac and dipswitch have in common?
A: Both of them are selfimportant pygmies!
Maestro Monteverdi / The Afghanistan Posse

My family used to observe Mother's Day each year may it be simply-budgeted or lavishly-grand festivity, but we always have good food to enjoy the day and make the celebration more meaningful. On the evening of May 17th we head off to Steak Escape Sandwich and Grill Restaurant at The Walk, The Wave, Muscat to savor their genuine Philadelphia Cheese Steak sandwiches and burgers.
This new chain of restaurant introduces a different sizzling steak experience for food lovers and local diners in Oman. We love to try out new restaurants in Muscat especially if it offers decent food in a nice surroundings with good customer service. Steak Escape is located right in the heart of the bustling spot of The Walk.
There are tables that you can find outside of the café like an al fresco dining while the interior is decorated with industrial-inspired fixtures and furniture.
I love the combination of the wooden and chrome design with exposed air vents that brings a welcoming atmosphere for every guest like an American diner.
There's an open kitchen where customers can custom-order and view the making of their meal right before their very eyes.
The ordering station is located right next to the front door. When making your order, you choose your sandwich or wrap on brown or white bread, with meat and four poultry choices, plus a vegetarian option (this is not really a place for non-meat eaters).
Once you order, the cook in the open kitchen begins to grill it all up. You can "Watch It Sizzle" in front of you. The staff would normally interact with you as your meat is being sizzled!
My husband had the Grand Escape: grilled beef steak with onions, Mushrooms, Green Peppers and Provolone. He was mightily pleased. So Delicious!
My sister and I shared the Poultry Garden Salad with fresh greens and cheese toppings in a bowl.
For a side, we choose loaded fresh-cut fries, smothered in cheddar and a ranch sauce. As you move down the line – it's a bit like a production line in a factory – you watch your food being cooked and then passed on to the fillings section, the "Build It" part, with salad and sauces of your choice.
The actual food is delicious, packed with flavour and aesthetically pleasing. Steak Escape says it's all about offering an elevated sandwich experience where "sight, sound, smell, taste, creation and belonging" all come into play.
Other than cheesesteaks, you can also find Grilled Subs and Burgers, Steak Escape's menu offers Fresh-Cut Fries, Fresh Salads and the famous Smashed Baked Potatoes at very reasonable prices. Plus their drinks, which we had lemonades at that time, are bottomless and refillable.
For me, Steak Escape is a place to go if you want something of an American Diner experience.
The Wave, Muscat
Tel: 2418 2323
Opening Hours: Open Daily 11am-midnight
Price: RO14.350 including drinks and taxes
Hope you will visit this new restaurant in Muscat soon!
This is another "Dining Experience" shared to you by HAPPY BAKER DELIGHTS.
Lots of Love,

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska is down to one available quarterback on scholarship after Tristan Gebbia was granted his release, coach Scott Frost said Tuesday.
Gebbia, a redshirt freshman from Calabasas, California, lost an offseason-long battle for the starting job to true freshman Adrian Martinez over the weekend.
Gebbia skipped practice Monday and withdrew from the university. An ESPN 300 signee in 2017, Gebbia threw for the second-most yards in California prep history.
"We want guys who want to be here," Frost said.
The Cornhuskers are left dangerously thin at the position in Frost's first season. Walk-on sophomore Andrew Bunch has fared well in practice, according to coaches, and freshman Matt Masker joined the team in August as a walk-on.
Noah Vedral is ineligible to play this season as a transfer from UCF, where Frost and his entire staff coached the past two years.
Frost said Tuesday that Nebraska will renew its effort to seek a waiver from the NCAA for Vedral's immediate eligibility.
"In the big picture, I hope that college football doesn't become transfer mania," Frost said. "It's hard to manage as a coach. You do what you can for kids, and I understand their perspective. They want to play. It would be hypocritical of me to talk about how much we care about the players, then not allow someone to do what they want to do or want what's best for them.
"The flip side of that is we preach to our guys all the time, team before me. And I think it would be hypocritical of us to have someone on our team that's me before team. Sometimes those things are going to work out the way that this just worked out. We've got to do our best as coaches to manage the situation."
Gebbia was recruited by former coach Mike Riley along with teammate Keyshawn Johnson Jr., who left the Huskers before last season. Gebbia redshirted as Nebraska endured a 4-8 finish and looked to fit in well with Frost, who brought his up-tempo offense from Orlando.
Gebbia and Martinez, the headliner in Frost's first recruiting class last December, battled through the spring and into August. Nebraska announced its QB pecking order on Sunday with the release of its depth chart ahead of the opener against Akron this week.
Martinez said he learned the news Saturday from quarterbacks coach Mario Verduzco.
"It was close," Frost said Monday. "We picked the guy that we felt would give us the best chance to win. It didn't matter who we picked, we were going to be a playing a quarterback who hadn't taken a live football snap in two years."
Frost said Gebbia "initially took the news really well." By Monday, apparently, something had changed.
"Every single guy on our team, we're going to care about and want what's best for them," Frost said. "We want guys who want to be here.
"Tristan's a great kid ... We preach that we care about the kids. And if they make a decision that doesn't involve us, we'd be lying if we didn't help them. We're always going to do that."
Martinez is set to become the first true freshman in Nebraska history to start a season opener. He missed all of his senior season in high school with a shoulder injury but ranked 103rd in the ESPN 300 for the Class of 2018. He was long committed to Tennessee before the Volunteers fired Butch Jones and Frost took the Nebraska job.
"In my own mind, I felt that I was the starter," Martinez said Monday. "I really just spilled my guts for it. Obviously, Tristan did the same. But if you don't believe in yourself, I don't think anyone will."

The ship at the heart of the investigation into Vice-Admiral Mark Norman will be unveiled on Thursday, providing the Royal Canadian Navy with a capability to refuel its vessels at sea.
The $670-million Project Resolve saw Davie Shipbuilding and its affiliated firm Federal Fleet Services convert the commercial vessel Asterix over an 18-month period, transforming it into a refuelling and resupply vessel.
The unveiling at Davie's Quebec shipyard will be attended by navy commander Vice-Admiral Ron Lloyd, federal Liberal MPs and Quebec government officials.
In the fall of 2015 the Liberal government tried to derail the Davie project, but a leak to the media about their plan forced its abandonment.
The Liberals called for a RCMP investigation into the leak, which led to the suspension earlier this year of Norman, then the country's second-highest ranking military officer.
The RCMP have not charged the respected naval officer, and questions have since emerged about how solid any case against Norman might be.
Upon its completion, Project Resolve will provide the Royal Canadian Navy with the capability to independently refuel and resupply its warships at sea, for the first time in many years. Since the retirement of its own aging resupply vessels, Canada has at various times leased the services of Chilean and Spanish navy supply ships.
The project's $670-million price tag includes the conversion of Asterix, the lease of its services to the navy for five years, maintenance and the salaries of a civilian crew to operate the vessel.
Navy crews will operate the resupply systems on board the vessel and the federal government has the option to buy the vessel at the end of the lease.
Asterix will be ready to provide its services to the navy beginning in November. It is expected to accompany Canadian warships on a major Pacific Ocean exercise next year.
We're extraordinarily proud that we're delivering the next naval support ship for Canada.Spencer Fraser, chief executive officer of Federal Fleet Services
"We're extraordinarily proud that we're delivering the next naval support ship for Canada," Spencer Fraser, chief executive officer of Federal Fleet Services, said Wednesday. "It's a cost-effective initiative. We're delivering a capability at a quarter of the price."
Asterix will be able to carry two Cyclone helicopters and also has medical facilities on board. In addition, it has space for light armoured vehicles and other equipment.
Halt the project was the focus of a Liberal cabinet meeting in November 2015 that was preceded by a letter to ministers from Davie's rival, Irving Shipbuilding, which pointed out that firm had a similar plan for a supply ship.
The Asterix project, approved by the previous Conservative government, was already moving ahead and the ship had been delivered for conversion.
Media reports about the details of the Liberal decision to sideline that project embarrassed the then-fledgling Trudeau government, and sparked outrage in Quebec about the potential loss of hundreds of jobs were Davie to lose the ship deal. The Liberals beat a quick retreat and shortly afterwards, the deal went ahead.
But Liberal ministers complained to the RCMP about the leak and an investigation eventually focused on Norman, who had been updating Fraser about the progress of the project in government.
Norman's motive, the RCMP claimed, was to put pressure on the Liberals to continue with the program.
Norman has denied any wrongdoing.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has suggested Norman will face trial, prompting concerns among the admiral's supporters about whether he will get a fair hearing.
It is unclear, however, whether there is a legal case against Norman. The Ottawa Citizen revealed the RCMP has determined that information about Asterix was also leaked by another federal employee.
In addition, an Ontario Superior Court judge warned the RCMP at a hearing April 21 that its claims that Norman released information from a Liberal cabinet meeting could be on shaky ground.
Ontario Superior Court Justice Kevin Phillips questioned the main evidence presented by the police force, namely a series of emails between Norman and Fraser.
"The emails in question are by no means smoking guns," Phillips wrote in his response to the application from a group of media outlets, including Postmedia, to make public such information. "At its highest, it appears that the potential allegation against Vice-Admiral Norman is that he was trying to keep a contractual relationship together so that the country might get a badly needed supply ship."
Phillips noted that military procurement in Canada has been plagued by incompetence. "A reasonable member of the informed public might understand the frustration of being Vice-Admiral of a Navy that cannot on its own go more than a tank of gas away from port," he said of Norman.
The RCMP has not commented on the case.
Asterix is considered an interim supply ship. The government is spending $2.3 billion on two new supply ships that will be built at Seaspan in British Columbia. The first of those ships is to be ready in 2021.

Wedding Speeches 101: A guide to writing and delivering a great Wedding Toast
As a natural go-getter, I like to be prepared for things that come my way. But as I get older and more mature in life, I've come to learn that there are some things (read: most things) where you won't be prepared for something you encounter, and you'll have to find a way to learn it on the fly. For me, one of those things I had to learn was how to deliver a wedding toast/speech.
Over the past year, I've been fortunate to be asked to deliver two separate toasts/speeches at weddings for my friends Charlie and James. While both environments were a bit different, the process for which I wrote my speech and the guidelines I followed were the same.
As a consultant, when I have to do something I've never done, I tend to gravitate towards processes and approaches that have worked in the past to spur my thinking before developing my own approach. When I started writing my first speech last year I realized how difficult it was for me to start because I didn't find a ton of other frameworks available. I wanted to share what I've developed in hopes that it helps those out there who like to do something similar. While everyone is truly different, and this is certainly not perfect, my hope is that gives you a good starting point for which you can tailor to fit your needs.
The Writing Process
Step 1: Write out EVERYTHING. By Everything, I really mean everything! Sentence fragments, adjectives, real sentences, superlatives, whatever. Brain dump all of your thoughts about the individual onto pen/paper
Step 2: When you think you are done, try to organize your thoughts into a list or some form of bullets, and start reading through the list to see what you like or don't like. Consider also trying to look for themes/groupings of your thoughts. Here are things to consider adding to your list:
– Stories about the bride/groom from any shared experiences you have
– Direct quotes that you can remember
– Lessons or things they have taught you
– Stories about how they met, or first impressions when you met the bride or groom
– Things the bride/groom has taught you and/or others
– Analogies, metaphors or examples that explain/articulate the bride/groom
– Compliments for the bride/groom
– How bride/groom has positively influenced you and others
Step 3: After reading through and grouping, try coming up with 2–3 key themes that you want to focus on in your speech. Feel free to also start eliminating things that you don't think make sense or don't seem to fit with those themes
Step 4: Start writing. Whether it's in sentence/paragraph form or just done by key bullet points. Don't worry about erasing, editing, heck, try not to even use the backspace bar. Don't worry if it's too long or not coherent enough as you'll have time to edit later on. In both cases, I've actually had more success writing the body of the speech first before going to the introduction and conclusion. Finally, I like to write mine out in paragraph form because it meshes well with my speaking style. Try to determine which is best for you, and go with that approach
Step 5: Once you get a working draft, start by practicing it out loud, and hearing how things sound. From there, you can go back and take out things that don't sound right or add things that sound better.
Step 6: Once you get a good draft, get some feedback — I recommend going to someone who knows you and also knows the groom/bride. I would be as specific as you can in the type of feedback (ex: does the content make sense, or does the flow make sense) but give them leeway to deliver their thoughts. You want to give them a bit of focus but don't lead the witness too much. Finally, I don't recommend going more than 2–3 people of feedback or it will just turn into a never-ending game of revisions.
Step 7: Practice! Practice the material in a manner that is best suited for you. It may mean reading the speech verbatim, it may mean remember certain parts/quotes — people learn and practice differently so you'll need to think about what is best for you. At the very least, practicing will ensure that the first time you read it will not be when you have to do it in front of a live audience.
Parting Tips:
It's Not About You — The day is about the bride and groom first and foremost. I say this because a number of my first drafts I tried to include a lot about my relationship and it quickly became the "Al show" which is not the purpose. If you're ever in doubt, just remember what the focus is supposed to be on.
Use some self awareness — You know yourself better than anyone else, so dig into that self-awareness muscle and put it to use. Do you operate best when you ad-lib? Consider coming up with a skeleton speech but leave in blank spots so you can think on the fly. Are you a mess without notecards or a written speech? Take the time to write one out and don't feel guilty for reading your notes. Are you more at ease when you know everything that you're going to say? Practice in advance! Everyone is different, so find the approach that works best for you.
Develop a style — Just like authors and writers have their own unique writing style, you too will have a style when you deliver your toast. Take time to develop an idea about how you want your speech to be remembered — if you need help figuring out your style think of 3 adjectives you want others to remember you as. Personally, I strive for a blend of inspirational, genuine, and gratefulness, and make sure that the words, stories, body language and non-verbal cues I use convey that.
The Friend/Gramdma Test — When you are 75–80% there I recommend asking for feedback, and getting it from two perspectives, known as the "Friend Test" and "Grandma Test." First, ask a friend for feedback, who knows the bride/groom well, and get their feedback to the question "Is what I am saying going to resonate with the bride/groom?" Second, ask someone for feedback with regards to the "Grandma test." For this, ask someone who your trust and get their feedback to the following question; "Is what I am saying going to resonate with someone's Grandma in the audience?" If you get feedback that passes both of those tests, you're going to have something that resonates with a wide spectrum of the audience.
Be Who You Are — How you say it is just important as what you say. Said differently, if you speak in a manner that is consistent with who you are, it's going to make whatever you say that much better. For instance, I'm not a funny person by nature, but people still managed to laugh at things that I said in both speeches. This goes for being sentimental, thoughtful, and anything else. You will be all of those things not because you try to be, but because when you speak in an authentic and genuine voice the words will ring true, and that will resonate with those emotions inside the audiences' head and heart.
Making Fun of Others — It's perfectly fine to rib or make fun of the bride/groom, but remember, the majority of the audience won't have context because they either A) don't know them or B) don't know you (or both) If you are going to make fun of someone, try to make it in a way that everyone understands
Understand Storytelling — If there is a way to tie together the start and the finish that really helps conclude your speech and nicely weaves together a coherent story and jabs the listener at the end in a way that makes them go "aha!" It seems small and silly, but people latch on to things like that and it sticks with them. If you need help understanding basic elements of storytelling, I recommend Durate's book on storytelling as a great starting point.
Everyone gets nervous, but remember this is familiar –Talking about something or someone that you know really well is probably much easier than talking about someone or something you do not know well at all. Remember, you know this topic pretty well! Sure, we all will get nervous, but remember this is not something foreign, but rather, something very familiar.
This is a special day, in which people are already feeling excited and happy. Whatever you say is going to fuel that excitement and happiness. It's like if you were running a marathon, and everyone else started at mile 1 and you started at mile 10. Instead of having to run 26.2 miles, you only have to run 16.2
Lastly, It's an honor and a privilege to be asked by someone to deliver a speech so make sure to enjoy it. When in doubt, smile, show gratitude, laugh, and have fun with it! With a little planning, practice, and self-reflection, you're going to deliver a toast that will serve as a thoughtful and meaningful contribution to a very special celebration.
