Creepypasta's Creepy Hotel Story
The following story, or rather, the reaction to the following story shows the difference between my girlfriend and I. She loves these kind of stories, whilst I am unable to sleep for weeks because of them. It is shamelessly stolen from Creepypasta. A page with a lot of stories like this one. Thread wisely. Anyways, here's the eerie story in question:
A man went to a hotel and walked up to the front desk to check in. The woman at the desk gave him his key and told him that on the way to his room, there was a door with no number that was locked and no one was allowed in there. Especially no one should look inside the room, under any circumstances. So he followed the instructions of the woman at the front desk, going straight to his room, and going to bed.
The next night his curiosity would not leave him alone about the room with no number on the door. He walked down the hall to the door and tried the handle. Sure enough it was locked. He bent down and looked through the wide keyhole. Cold air passed through it, chilling his eye. What he saw was a hotel bedroom, like his, and in the corner was a woman whose skin was completely white. She was leaning her head against the wall, facing away from the door. He stared in confusion for a while. He almost knocked on the door, out of curiosity, but decided not to.
This disinclination saved his life. He crept away from the door and walked back to his room. The next day, he returned to the door and looked through the wide keyhole. This time, all he saw was redness. He couldn't make anything out besides a distinct red color, unmoving. Perhaps the inhabitants of the room knew he was spying the night before, and had blocked the keyhole with something red.
At this point he decided to consult the woman at the front desk for more information. She sighed and said, "Did you look through the keyhole?" The man told her that he had and she said, "Well, I might as well tell you the story. A long time ago, a man murdered his wife in that room, and her ghost haunts it. But these people were not ordinary. They were white all over, except for their eyes, which were red."
Nice. Link to the story on Creepypasta: http://creepypasta.tumblr.com/post/144337815/a-man-went-to-a-hotel-and-walked-up-to-the-front
On Very Thin Ice
I'm a hummer. Most of times I have a song playing on repeat in my head. At times it's great , other times - not so great. Like now. A couple of months a go I stumbled across Auto-Tune the News on YouTube. Said months later and I'm still playing the Auto-Tune the News 24/7 concert in my head. I'm starting to get somewhat tired. However, perhaps this is some kind of viral thing. Perhaps I must 'pass it on'? Well, I'm gonna try that. The part in question is the part where Katie Couric starts talking about the melting of the north pole. We find ourselves on very thin ice. Very Thin Ice. Very, very, very thin ice. Very Thin Ice. Surely you jest, I'm under cardiac arrest. We're on very thin ice. It starts at 1:20. Enjoy. And don't give this virus back to me. Thanks.
Oh, and if you liked it you should also pay attention to people on the roads who are texting while driving. After all: People on the road can turn an LOL into a great big OMG.
Weekly SchiZo Sketch #1
My girlfriend is an awesome artist, and I wanted her to use her talent more often! So we came up with the idea of me pitching her a new idea every week, and she drawing a sketch of that idea. I love the concept and will post the results right here, on my blog.
First out: the idea of a collision of the two BioWare worlds of Dragon Age and Mass Effect. Something from the future meets the fascinating idea of magic. Think of a robotic being wielding the powers of magic.

-- Alan Mozes
TUESDAY, May 31 (HealthDay News) -- With summer vacation
fast-approaching, parents should take an active role in promoting
routine healthy eating among their kids, advises the American
Dietetic Association (ADA).
To that end, the ADA is offering some practical tips to help
parents whip up healthy meals that kids will enjoy, all the while
promoting a learning environment that encourages a youthful
appreciation for eating well.
"For many families, the summer break can lead to a disruption of the normal routine and a diversion from the eating habits established during the school year," registered dietitian Katie Brown, the ADA Foundation's national education director, noted in an association news release.
It's important to ensure everyone "is eating the foods they need
when they need them," she explained.
To help parents achieve that goal, the ADA has fashioned a
website entitled "Kids Eat Right." It is designed as a one-stop
shop for weekly nutritional updates (in the form of articles,
videos, recipes, eating tips) to promote the fundamentals of
healthy eating.
One of the best ways to help your kids eat right is to involve
them in every step of the process, registered dietitian and
American Dietetic Association spokesperson Amy Jamieson-Petonic
said in the news release.
This includes involving children in both the shopping and
cooking process leading to a communal family dinner. Parents should
also encourage -- and, if necessary, organize -- daily physical
activity and outdoor fun, according to the association.
"Your kids should be getting at least 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week," noted Jamieson-Petonic. "So don't let them spend the summer sitting on the couch."

A mother from Ontario, Canada is too shy to sing in public, so she belts out songs while at home with her baby.
Mom's rendition of "My Heart Can't Tell You Know" has been a viral hit, with more than four million views.
She told the "Today" show that she realized the baby would start crying every time she sang. Her husband didn't believe her, so she shot the video.

NEW YORK (AP) - Daniel Carcillo, Rick Nash and Derick Brassard scored less than 10 minutes into the game, and Henrik Lundqvist made 37 saves as the New York Rangers routed the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 on Sunday night.
Chris Kreider netted his team-leading 12th goal in the second period to help the Rangers win their third straight and fourth in five (4-0-1). New York, 8-2-1 in its last 11, is tied in points with Washington for second place in the Metropolitan Division - one ahead of Philadelphia.
The Rangers have won seven straight against the Flyers at home, outscoring them 28-8.
Ray Emery rebounded after the rough first period and finished with 31 saves for the Flyers.
Lundqvist lost his shutout bid when Mark Streit scored a power-play goal 6:49 into the third.

Sequim Gazette staff
Sean Weber, a Sequim Middle School student, was one of five semifinalists from Washington to qualify for the national Broadcom MASTERS science and engineering middle school competition.
From the pool of 300 semifinalists across the country, BROADCOM will announce 30 finalists on Aug. 27 who compete for a chance to win $25,000 in Washington, D.C.
Sequim student Katherine Landoni was a finalist in the 2011 competition.
Other semifinalists from Washington include Christopher Kang and Colby Richards of Richland, Amelia Aichele of Benton City and Daniel Herron of Tacoma.
The Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars) was created to reward and inspire sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade students to continue their studies in math and science throughout high school.
Semifinalists hail from 253 middle schools in 43 states, representing 123 fairs across the U.S., Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. Semifinalists were selected from more than 1,695 applicants after evaluation and judging conducted by scientists, engineers and educators. Applicants qualify to enter the Broadcom MASTERS by placing in the top 10 percent of the participants at affiliated science fairs and winning the nomination.

Does the BlackBerry Storm's Lack of Wi-Fi Matter?
RIM's design-out of Wi-Fi dooms the BlackBerry Storm in the same way that lacking essentials have buried the iPhone 3G and Wii -- not at all.

To reserve group study space in the Shapiro Library you can place your request through our online reservation system, Resource Scheduler. We provide step-by-step instructions on how to create an account.
We do not accept same day reservations – if you want to use a room today, and it is not reserved, it is available to you on a "first come, first served" basis. Room availability is posted daily outside the room, as well as in the Free/Busy function, which you can access through your Resource Scheduler account.
Referring to these guidelines when making your request will make it easier for us to approve it.
When to make your request
Reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance; the earlier you make your request, the higher the likelihood that we will have a room available.
Request time limit
The maximum time block that you can reserve is 4 hours per day.
Choosing your capacity
When choosing capacity, we suggest choosing the lower end of your estimated capacity need. If you choose a lower capacity, there is a larger pool of rooms for us to choose from, giving you a higher chance of approval. The majority of our rooms hold 6 people. The largest room we have holds 12 people. You can view room capacity when using the Free/Busy function (see below for more information).
Using the Free/Busy Function
Your request is more likely to be approved if you select a time that has not already been reserved. To do this, use the Free/Busy function. Enter the date, desired capacity, and click "Display." The blocked time is already reserved and the free space is available. Note during which period of time there is an available room and then select "New Request" on the home screen where you can request the timeslot you saw open. If you see that a Tech Suite is available, you must specify the open Tech Suite in your request.
You can also use the Free/Busy function to learn more about what each room offers. By clicking on the icon to the left of each listed room, you can find out the capacity of your room of choice, as well as the equipment available.
Tech Suites vs. Group Study Space
Group Study Space refers to all of the rooms on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors of Shapiro and the two rooms on the 3rd floor of Hatcher. These rooms typically contain tables and chairs. The Tech Suites are the rooms on the 1st floor of Shapiro including the Brainstorming Room, Collaboration Room, Editing Room and Presentation Practice Room, which include computers for video and presentation project work. See the links on the Tech Deck's page for information on hardware and software in the Tech Suites. You can also view this information within Resource Scheduler, by clicking on the icon located in the Free/Busy function.
Important: If you select the Group Study Space option in your request, we do not have the ability to place you in a Tech Suite even if one is open. If you see a Tech Suite that is available, you must individually request that room.
Recurring Requests
Our study rooms are in high demand year-round, so it's difficult for us to approve recurring requests. To increase the chances of getting your group a regular study space in Shapiro, you may wish to submit an individual request for each day you want to meet, so we don't have to depend on the same room being open at that time each day. Also, please don't try to reserve a Tech Suite for a recurring request.
Requests can be made for up to four months out from the request date. For example, if you are making a request on January 3rd, the last date we can approve you for is May 3rd. Finally, please don't submit a recurring request unless your group will use the study space each day of your request.
Request Approval
Requests are approved manually by library staff. Reservations that have not yet been approved will appear as "Pending Requests." When library staff approve or deny the request it will move to "Reviewed Requests." To delete a request, click the "x" underneath the "Action" column.

Product DescriptionFinding a bike rack that will transport your recumbent cycle in a secure manner and without damage has been a problem. Some recumbents have the crank ahead of the front wheel and others have it behind the front wheel. The wheelbase and the height of the crank off the ground also varies widely. CycleSimplex's unique bicycle rack design allows us to accommodate the varied configurations of today's recumbent bikes. With our rack your bikes sit on their wheels and there is no damaging contact between the bikes or the rack and the bikes themselves.

However, we at CycleSimplex believe that for many people "perception is reality". With that in mind we have beefed up the size of our bolts and have made the line of racks even more versatile.
Regarding cost, we are far from expensive and if you do side-by-side comparisons to our competitors, you will find that we are often the least expensive.

There has been a golden-crowned sparrow appearing at the feeder behind Red Rocks Park Trading Post most all winter. The golden-crowned sparrow is a Pacific bird found only in the western part of North America from the Cascade and Sierra Nevada Mountains westward to the Pacific and some of the islands offshore.
Today is a very spring-like day, with high winds and temperatures in the high 40s. It's not spring, but it is giving me spring fever. This is the kind of day on which my husband Bill used to say, "Let's drive down to the Rio Grande Valley for a few day so of early spring birding."
A pleasant surprise this past week was a letter to the Canyon Courier with photos enclosed of some American goldfinches at a feeder. The photos were taken by Bud and Sandy Madigan at their home feeder in the Upper Bear Creek area. The photos helped me identify the birds.
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, where are you? It is a real delight to live in an area where our slopes are decorated with Christmas trees all year. Locally, the evergreens that cover our hillsides are mainly ponderosa pine. These trees are beautiful at most any season, but I am especially fond of them in spring when new growth tips their branches and in winter when they are flocked with snow or frost. The soughing of the wind through their branches in a summer wind can't be equaled by any other pine, and an old ponderosa pine is magnificent in its towering grandeur.
Many people complain to me that they find winter birding dull because there are no pretty birds around.
True, the winter residents at most feeders, pine siskins, chickadees, nuthatches, hairy and down woodpeckers, house sparrows, house finches, and the various forms of the dark-eyed junco are mostly gray, brown, and black-and-white birds. Not very exciting or colorful, but they are still interesting.
Editor's Note: Sylvia's column will reappear next week. This column is reprinted from Dec. 10, 2008.
Christmas is not far away, and as we do our shopping and baking, our thoughts turn to Christmas decorations. In England and in our Eastern states, mistletoe is an important part of Christmas. The mistletoe common throughout the South grows mainly on oaks. It forms huge clumps or balls, and the whole plant generally is cut from the tree. The sprigs with the white berries are usually sold for Christmas decorating.
I well remember the first wild turkey I ever saw. I was birding in Alleghany State Park with a friend, Kay McCann, and she said, "Let's walk down this trail to the river. About a week ago, someone saw a wild turkey near here." We went down the trail and sure enough, on the far bank of the river were two wild turkeys getting a drink. We froze in our tracks, and the big birds continued to drink.
Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 1 and 2, Loie Evans identified an immature surf scoter on Evergreen Lake. No matter how good a birder you are or how sure you are of your identification, it is always a good idea to have at least one other person see and identify a rare bird.
When I was in fifth grade, we were required to learn a poem and present it before our class. The poem I chose to learn and recite was the one printed below.
The First Snowfall
The snow had begun in the gloaming,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new-roofed with Carrara
The first Townsend's solitaire that I ever saw was shortly after we moved to Colorado in April 1965. I was looking around our new yard and saw a strange gray bird just across the road, clinging to a giant mullein stalk in the open valley above Little Cub Creek. I watched it digging insects out of the dead mullein stalk and thought how often I had seen downy woodpeckers acting in the same manner.

About 7,000 Oklahomans are waiting to find out if they were exposed to HIV or Hepatitis B and C at their dentist's office.
State health officials announced Thursday that patients of Dr. Scott Harrington should be tested for the diseases after an investigation revealed unsafe practices at Harrington's Tulsa-based office.
"It's very frightening," said Kandyce Shrum, 21.
She heard the news Thursday and went to the emergency room to get tested. She said staff members told her to wait to go to the Health Department's free screenings Saturday.
The Health Department's North Regional Health and Wellness Center at 5365 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd is the location for the free screenings. It will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. It will be closed Easter Sunday and re-open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The standard turn-around time for the results is two to three weeks, said Kaitlin Snider with the Tulsa Health Department.
"There will mostly likely be a line, especially for tomorrow," said Kaitlin Snider with the Tulsa Health Department.
She said transmission of these diseases through dental clinics is rare but wants to be sure patients are tested as a precaution.
Several patients have already said they plan to pursue legal action if they test positive.
Patients of Dr. Harrington, regardless of when they were treated, are encouraged to call a Health Department hotline at 918-595-4500 for more information.

Comments: Love this hydration pack! What I like about this pack is how easy it is to adjust. I do not like the feel of loose straps hitting my body or arms; because there are no adjustable side straps I don't have that problem. The vest is extremely functional and looks cool too. It's great for running but I think it will also make a great day hiking vest to use with friends who do not like to run. From: Sheila, Georgia, USA

Hi Maangchi,
Your website is amazing. I just came back from what was supposed to be a stopover in Seoul that ended up being a highlight of the trip. My friend and I went crazy shopping in the Shinsagae Food Hall.
I bought 2 packs of toasted black soybean and grains powder because some woman made a drink from it and had us taste it. I cant remember though, if I should mix it with milk or with water?
Can you help? Also, are there any other uses for the powder?
Many thanks
ps -- thanks loads for the video on kimbap -- I bought the mold and wrapper when I was there too!

- Excellent halibut and salmonOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/21/2014Although we messed up on the booking (we came a day early) we were still shown to an excellent table on the ground floor. The waiter was attentive but not overly so. The seasonal halibut and sockeye salmon were mouth-wateringly delicious. The only downside is that we don't live in Vancouver!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/20/2014Thank you very much for the wonderful service and especially acknowleging my Dad's 80th birthday. It was also wonderful that when I booked online the restaurant was able to accomodate my request for a booth. We had a great time and can hardly wait to come back! Great to see Frenchie again!Special Features:
- Couldn't Have Been Any Better!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/20/2014It was mine and my boyfriend's first time at Joe's and honestly, we couldn't have had a better experience. Aside from the out dated decor, the service was top notch and the food was outstanding! We were blown away by the flavours we experienced. It was our first time trying raw, shucked oysters and let me tell you, it was life changing! Yes, you have to pay a pretty penny for what you get, but believe me when I say that it will 100% be worth it! Absolutely no negative feedback to give and we can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NoisyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014The restaurant was extremely load and hard to carry on a conversation. The food was expensive and average at best. We waited to long for our main course though that didn't seem to be the norm as people around us were getting theirs. A great restaurant if all you want is to see and been seen.Special Features:
- Fantastic!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable. We couldn't ask for anything better. If you love Oysters, you MUST try the Oyster's Rockefeller.. absolutely do die for. The Surf and Turf for two was amazing, but you could feed 3 on it easily... and then our server surprised us with a nice dessert for our anniversary, compliments of Joe Fortes. This restaurant is a must!Special Features:
- disappointingMomof2Dined on 9/19/2014Over priced food, smarmy waiter and shell in the crab cake, that the waiter dismissed as being par for the course if you eat crab - I don't think so! We were really looking forward to eating here after hearing so much about it (and we are from out of province), but the food was only "ok" certainly not all it was cracked up to be. I didn't finish eating the crab cake because I was getting shell in several bites, and the waiter acted as if I was being fussy - if they can't screen out pieces of shell, that's pretty poor. He reluctantly took it off the bill, but we will never go back there - better places to eat seafood in Vancouver I'm sure.
- Time to upgrade bar furniture?localboyDined on 9/18/2014Lunch with a couple of business associates was great at Joe's, as usual. They are so consistent!!! Only thing I can think of that might improve the experience would be to update the furniture in the bar, which is where we were sitting for lunch. While the furniture has served them well, those cheap old chairs are ready to collapse!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great meeting spotmaggie1Dined on 9/16/2014I met a friend that I hadn't sen for ages and we started with a bottle of wine and were not rushed to order. The waiter brought us some wonderful lobster oil infused with balsamic vinegar that is to die for. We had several dinner items we were interested in and our waiter guided us to a very worthwhile decision. Our food was served piping hot, was beautifully presented and most of all was delicious. Dessert pavlova with coffee finished us for the night and we definitely will return to try the other interesting entrees we didn't get to sample.Special Features:
- DisappointedCaliTravlerVIPDined on 9/15/2014It was an hour between salads and entree, which is unacceptable when dining at 6:30. However my biggest complaint was how the manager responded to my inquiry: "this is not Applebee's and it takes longer to prepare fresh fish". Great restaurants know how to handle kitchen back ups, this is not one.Special Features:
- 50th Birthdaytlcx3Dined on 9/14/2014The staff, food and space were excellent - no complaints at all.Special Features:
- First Joe's, then Elton'sJamesBondDined on 9/13/2014When we want to indulge, we go to Joe's. We love the oysters, the drinks, the ambiance and the people. I especially love that beautiful painting/print of all the jazzy people in the 40's (I think).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- seafood skillet - a hidden gemOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/13/2014I think this item is worth highlighting on your facebook page, as it's my new favourite!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistantly FabulousMargievilleDined on 9/12/2014Was at the restaurant twice in a two week period. With a group of 12 for a birthday dinner (Saturday night) and then again for an after show dinner with a friend (Friday night). In both cases we were greated promptly, seated efficiently and pleasantly. The service in both occasions was phenomenal to the point where on both nights my dinner companions commented on how great the service was. Food is always fantastic, but then again I've come to expect that from Joe Fortes. It is one of the only places I've eaten in Vancouver where the food has been spot on each and every time with no exceptions. Perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked. I would also really love to kiss their pastry chef. The pavlova is to die for!!Special Features:
- As usaualJohnMDined on 9/12/2014Great food, excellent service. We have never been disappointed.....Special Features:
- Good TimesHolidayFoodieDined on 9/11/2014The food was good. The service was spectacular. This is a popular Vancouver spot and I recommend going at least once if you are visitingSpecial Features:
- OkayOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/10/2014The server (Peter) was great and very attentive. When the main meal took a little long we had soup on the house, that was really smart. But, the hostess was only okay, a little brusque in my opinion. The fish was nicely cooked and portions were fair but the prices are quite high for both food and the cocktails. The style of the menu looked a bit out of date and there were no vegetarian options which makes it seem a bit out of touch with Vancouver. Was glad to finally say I went and we did enjoy the rooftop and its atmosphere.Special Features:
- First visitFiahDined on 9/10/2014The seafood linguine was amazing! The staff were very friendly. The oysters that the waiter recommended were good. Will visit again :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beyond amazing servicespecialtimesDined on 9/7/2014Amazing service. Would recommend to anyone. The food was great, the service amazing on every level. The servers were up-beat & pleasant, so helpful and attentive, picking up on everything that was required at any given moment and attending to it without being intrusive. It just was beyond amazing. We were celebrating a 65th birthday and everything about the service and the food made us feel that we had made the absolute best choice in choosing Joe Fortes for our special occasion.Special Features:
- One of our favourite brunch placestravelbug72Dined on 9/7/2014Brunch is always a pleasurable experience. We know the patio is first come, first served. Despite this, they were able to hold a table for our party of 13 for Sunday brunch. Our server was very attentive, efficient and friendly. For a party of our size, she automatically got us separate bills and advised us in advance of the 15% gratuity for larger parties. Our water glasses were always full, which we appreciated since the rooftop patio can get lots of sun. Try the lobster bennie or the fried chicken and waffles. You won't be disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Great PlaceIvonnaHumpalottDined on 9/7/2014I never seen any restaurants like Joe Fortes that goes the extra step and send out thank you cards to their customers, I am very impressed.Special Features:
- very busy restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/6/2014even though had a reservation, still had to wait extra 15 minutes. stuck in the corner right next to the backside of another diner. the server was good enough to move us to another table. the food was great but took around 45 minutes to arrive. my last visit was just before last Christmas. everything was great. on time seating, food came to the table quickly and the restaurant was just as busy then as my recent visit. I actually had to go back outside and ask the hostess how much longer my wait was going to be, when no one came to inform me how much longer I had to wait. for a well respected restaurant I had better expectations. not sure if I would return but I will say the food was great.Special Features:
- Service was down.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/6/2014We've made this our special celebration spot and have had great food and service in the past. The food was still delicious but the service wasn't as great as in the past. The guy had difficulty understanding parents requests about not filling up the glass full of water and we had to ask for a small glass instead of wine glasses for the kids twice. It seemed to put him out! Also we did not appreciate all the emails and phone calls regarding our on-line reservation and will not reserve on-line again in the future. It's definitely been better before. Also if you order a plate for 2 it would make sense to give a equal amount of scallops don't you think? They also never returned and asked if I wanted another drink.Special Features:
- Best Seafoodhowerton48Dined on 9/5/2014The best selection of oysters we have ever seen. Outstanding fresh fish. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. For seafood in Vancouver this is the only place to go.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AnniversaryDined on 9/3/2014OMG! Om nom nom! JF went out of their way to make our 31st wedding anniversary a night to remember. Right down to the personalized menu congratulating us. Our waiter Elvis's service was extra special. We had an end table on the roof overlooking the streets below. The food was fabulous, timely (but not rushed), and mouth watering. We enjoyed every bite. Definitely take in this spot if you're visiting or looking for a night out on the town!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Went on recommendationImclDined on 9/2/2014We went here after a recommendation from relatives. So glad we went,the food was fabulous and the serving staff lovely.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and excellent servicekpol1Dined on 9/1/2014Very good food with fresh seafood, and excellent wine list. Our waiter really knew his wines and made excellent recommendations. Even though we didn't have the intention of having oysters, our waiter gently coaxed us into trying some, and they were quite delicious! Outdoor seating up stairs is very nice, quiet, intimate, and smoke-free!!!!! Major bonus points for that.Special Features:
- Great servicepaulchungDined on 8/31/2014Went there to celebrate my wife's birthday. We were seated on the outdoor patio. It was my first time on the patio. It was nice but I would prefer the tables were a bit further apart. However, the food was great and the service was really excellent, which is what draws us to this place over the years. We had oysters (both the happy hour specials and our regular malpeques) and mussels for appies, then tuna and Arctic char. The meal was great but the service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly, humorous and attentive.Special Features:
- Eat at Joe FortesMissPinzDined on 8/31/2014My boyfriend and I are here for our two year anniversary. We had the surf and turf platter which was very delicious!!! Quite pricey, but delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CrowdedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/30/2014The food and service overall were quite good. The table itself was very small and crowded. All 4 of us had water and a drink and the bread on the table, when the appetizers arrived we had to shuffle things around to make it all fit. The restaurant in general had the same feeling. It was like they were trying to shove as many tables into the restaurant as they possible could, It detracted from the atmosphere.
- mouth watering fillet mignon!azenivDined on 8/30/2014Great service! Great food! Definitely coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cousins for lunchJazzedtobehereDined on 8/30/2014I brought my cousins from Australia to lunch. I wanted to give them an experience, and we weren't disappointed. The service here is fabulous, there is a buzz happening, it gets very busy, very fast. Frenchy, the Maître 'd is a great personality and made our lunch most enjoyable. I have come here for a few special occasions and have never been disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Our FavouriteGordDined on 8/29/2014We've been to Joe Fortes several times, some of which have been for Happy Hour for Oysters and Manhattans, dinner and lunch. The latest on August 30, 2014. I had the Trio Seafood with a side of large Nova Scotia scallops and my wife had the Salmon Special. Both were perfectly cooked. As a side note, in my view, Joe Fortes makes the best Manhattan drink. While we like to try different restaurants, Joe Fortes is a perennial for dining. Service, as usual, is always impeccable whether at the bar or dining.Special Features:
- Delicious food, but overpricedViJKDined on 8/29/2014Went here on the recommendation of a trusted friend. Loved the luxurious look of the place, the upscale furnishings, the giant glass window on both sides of the entry way, and the live pianist. However, my overall takeaway was that it was a bit presumptuous of a place. The prices are extraordinary, and the food isn't. It is great food, don't get me wrong, but the high prices lead to high expectations. However, I can understand that the prices may reflect the expenses involved in training such knowledge staff, offering Ocean Wise selections, local and sustainably-sourced food, etc. Not really my type of place, though I was very impressed by the extensive variety of all menus (dinner, wine, cocktails, dessert, etc.).Special Features:
- discerningdinerDined on 8/29/2014As always it was a pleasure to dine at Joe Forte's. The food and service were impeccable!Special Features:
- Love this placeFrequentVanVisitorDined on 8/29/2014I go to Joe Fortes at least once every time I am in town. Great food, great service and comfortable atmosphere(casual to formal, all is welcome).Special Features:
- ALWAYS A GEMMigsVIPDined on 8/28/2014It has been 10 years since I've visited Vancouver last. I was a little concerned to Joe Fortes would have fallen out of favor by then.. My worries were ill founded !! Not only is Joe Fortes a great restaurant I had expected in years past it is even better today!! We dined in the upstairs patio which has a fabulous view of downtown Vancouver Our server: Sarah was magnificent! Joe Fortes is an absolute must stop in and visit to downtown VancouverSpecial Features:
- Dinner at Joe ForteslimamanDined on 8/28/2014The food and service (Steve was our waiter) were excellent, but the noise level was almost unmanageable. Moreover, the piano player was less than stellar. Danielle, a really lovely person, was more than accommodating, finding a seating that I preferred (but which I had to decline because my dinner mate couldn't manage the situation).Special Features:
- casualdinerDined on 8/28/2014The restaurant did their best to find a quiet spot for us on the 2nd floor in the corner, but it was still too loud. The live piano was a nice touch, however it was also competing with the overall ambient noise, you knew it was playing, but not always sure what tune. Overall, too noisy for our group. Food and service was outstanding.Special Features:
- very nice lunchTongDined on 8/27/2014great place for lunch but reservations are suggested if you want to avoid waiting. busy, energetic crowd during lunch. food is always goodSpecial Features:

Mozambique Solidifies Long-Term Cash Flow Position
Jordo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Anadarko's (NYSE: APC) business in Mozambique has become something of a legend. That East African country ravaged by decades of civil war is now suddenly touted to be one of the world's largest LNG producers. Mozambique's riches and progress are because of Anadarko and its relentless efforts to dig deep into the Indian Ocean looking for oil and natural gas. In the same breath, Societe Generale announced their buy rating once again for the company. In this article, I will discuss how Anadarko's consistent success in Mozambique will increase the company's long-term value based on a discounted cash flow basis.
How Mozambique Has Impacted Anadarko So Far
Anadarko's success in Mozambique began when it announced a massive gas discovery in the Rovuma basin. The Prosperidade field is located 56 kilometers off Cabo Delgado coast and is expected to hold 17 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas. The company states that the surrounding area can yield more than 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas eventually. Apart from Prosperidade, Anadarko has also found petroleum resources in the 2.6 million acre Offshore Area 1. Another 20 exploration prospects and leads are waiting to be operationalized in adjoining areas. Anadarko also possesses an additional 3 million acres in Northern Mozambique, where it is using scientific and seismic technology to explore for oil and gas.
Anadarko holds a 36.5% stake in this particular area, while Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos holds a 15% stake. Cove Energy, BPRL Ventures, Videocon, and Mitsui hold smaller shares. The enormous amount of natural gas that exists along the coast of Mozambique is almost entirely handled by Anadarko.
How Mozambique Could Impact Cash Flow by 2018
At the moment, all these ventures have been agreed upon and deals have been signed. Between 2014 and 2018, the company will fabricate facilities, drill development wells, install subsea architecture, secure shipping architecture, and evaluate expansion opportunities. The first sales and production will happen in 2018. The company expects 30 trillion cubic feet of natural gas at Cabo Delgado. The 30 trillion cubic feet of gas can be valued at $9 billion at the moment, with an average price of $3 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas. Platts reported that there will be a 54% increase in LNG prices by 2018. This means a thousand cubic feet of liquid natural gas will cost at least $5 in 2018. This would amount to $15 billion worth of natural gas that Anadarko can boast of in Mozambique. This will help Anadarko to increase its cash flow immensely.
Enersis Is the Only Competitor in Mozambique
The only competitor that the company has is Enersis (NYSE: ENI). Recently it was reported that both Anadarko and Enersis will work together in a sort of cooperation that was facilitated by the Mozambican government. Anadarko has also invested in Mozambique's infrastructure, building its railway lines, training its engineers, and constructing oil refineries. All these investments, both hard and soft, have ensured that Anadarko will be able to translate those capital investments into revenue by 2018. Anadarko plans to ship the first batch of LNG from Mozambique by 2018. By then, Mozambique will be the largest producer of natural gas after Australia and Qatar. Enersis' chief executive, Paolo Scaroni, revealed in an interview that the company had spent 5 years studying East Africa. It had not found anything valuable until it won the blocks it wanted in Mozambique in 2006. Once it got the blocks it wanted off the coast of Mozambique, there was no looking back. Enersis continues to be the only major competitor for Anadarko and holds 70% of the Rovuma Basin fields.
Analysts Continue to Reiterate Anadarko as a 'Buy'
Meanwhile, other analysts have recommended Anadarko's shares to investors as well. Barclays Capital reissued an 'overweight' rating on Jan. 16, 2012. With a target price of $99, Barclays Capital recommends Anadarko shares to those who are interested in long-term benefits. Deutsche Bank has a 'buy' rating for Anadarko and has increased its target price from $86 to $95. Jags Report noted that more than 22 research analysts now have rated Anadarko as a definite buy. All these positive opinions about Anadarko will actually serve as a catalyst to the company's stock performance. Anadarko's stock will continue to be bought while its stock increases in its value. This snowball effect will ensure that Anadarko remains healthy and profitable in the long-term. I expect this trend to continue even after the first batch of LNG shipments is shipped across the world from Mozambique in 2018.
Anadarko's Only Competitor in Mozambique is Enersis
Chevron (NYSE: CVX) sold all of its downstream assets in Mozambique to Engen in October 2011. These acquisitions continue to help Engen establish its presence in Mozambique. However, Chevron, a formidable American rival of Anadarko, lost quite a bit of action in Mozambique. If Chevron had stayed on in Mozambique and entered the exploration and drilling space, there would have been quite a bit of competition for both Anadarko and Enersis.
Chevron said fourth-quarter profits increased a whopping 41% to a record $7.25 billion due to stronger refining results and a boost from the Australian natural gas field swap. Chevron's net income jumped to $3.70 a share from $2.58 in the same period in 2011.
Royal Dutch Shell lost a deal in 2012 that would have allowed it to explore and drill in Mozambique. Shell's exploration chief Andy Brown reiterated that the company is still interested in Mozambique's gas bonanza and will make every effort to get a piece of the cake.
Total bought a 40% stake in a production contract for an undisclosed amount from Malaysia's Petronas Gas bhd. The field is located off the coast of Mozambique, at Rovuma Basin. Total might be able to create a sort of competitive spirit among Enersis and Anadarko, which so far has remained collaborative.
Anadarko currently trades at $81 and has a market cap of $40 billion. With an enterprise value of $51 billion, it is one of the largest oil and natural gas companies in the world. The company's price to sales ratio of 2.96 and price to book ratio of 1.95 are particularly impressive. With a profit margin of 13.64% and an operating margin of 8.73%, this stock will continue to be profitable in the long term. Anadarko is certainly one of the most valuable gas stocks at the moment. Like most analysts have stated, Anadarko will be a great long-term investment with regular dividends and benefits.
Rate of net profitability is likely to hit almost 20% by 2014
The projected revenue for 2018 is $23.5 billion, with a 4% growth rate. Analysts also note that Anadarko has a 45% cash flow potential with a potential price of $44. The projected gross profit for the year 2018 is $14 billion, which is roughly the value of LNG reserves in Mozambique in 2018. Though production has not begun yet, and the projects are still in the drilling stage, revenue and profit will soon help Anadarko's cash flow increase.

Egypt now lives in a political and constitutional vacuum. The present military rulers have dissolved the sole national level representative assembly, the Shura Council, and rescinded the constitution. Both, to be sure, were self-interested creations of the Muslim Brotherhood administration. But nothing has been put in their place.
There is only the military and its choice as president, the constitutional lawyer Adly Mansour. Nothing else remains. But if further tragedy -- perhaps, as Russian President Vladimir Putin forecast, a civil war -- is to be averted, the vacuum must soon be filled.
Putin may be right. The killing of at least 51 supporters of the Brotherhood in incidents around a barracks of the presidential guard on Sunday raises the stakes, and the temperature. The military's contempt for the Brotherhood, whose government they had sworn to serve, is now very evident, as is their assumption of a right to dispose of the country's politics, and to enforce order by fear.
The will-he/won't-he struggle over the appointment of Mohamed ElBaradei as prime minister illuminates one of the major underlying crises in a country of many overlapping crises. He is a figure acceptable to, indeed a hero of, liberals and secularists. But his long service abroad, largely for the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, which he headed for twelve years, inspires suspicion and even hatred among the Islamist parties.
The largest of these, the Salafist Nour party -- which won 111 of the 498 parliamentary seats in the 2011 elections -- says that if ElBaradei heads the new government, Nour will end any collaboration with the military in its transition. ElBaradei himself has said that Islamist participation is necessary for the transition.

Numerology Monthly Numbers
November 2009
November 2009 carries the frequency of a 6.
Six months can be wonderful months but there are some cautions to be aware of as you travel through November.
Six carries the vibration of excess and indecision. Both can be easily curbed if you maintain a personal balance and strive for a degree of harmony. Quite often it is the indecision that brings about the excess. Excess can indicate anything from too many material possessions to excessive work and excessive food to extreme lack of sleep. So begin by having a plan and follow it through whether it involves your work or daily life. That way you will accomplish what you need to without the burden of over-doing on any level.
The higher vibration of the number six can represent harmony, sincerity, and truth. A six-month can reveal solutions for you in a balanced way providing we have followed our plan.
Even though you might feel misunderstood this month, you can pull up amazing diplomatic prowess if you are aware of your words and actions and feel compassion for the others involved.
A six-month like November is about balance. It can lift us to greater heights in all levels of life if we understand its shortfalls and refuse to participate in them. It is very important to give yourself the time necessary to find your inner balance. Acknowledging all you are grateful for ob a daily basis is a great way to begin a day of harmony. A walk in Nature, a guided meditation, a warm essential oil scented bath, or even watching the colors of a sunset will help you to achieve a sense of inner tranquility. Find the solutions that are best for you and bring them into a pattern of your daily life.

How to Get Better Customer Service
Published on - July 24th, 2006 (by J.D. Roth)
I hate dealing with bureaucratic corporations. Their customer service is a joke. Even dealing with small companies can be a challenge. But I'm slowly learning how to coax good customer service out of the companies I call. Here's a list of my favorite tips.
According to consultant Dr. Gary S. Goodman:
Customers need to take some responsibility for the quality of the service they receive. And if they want better service, they should try becoming better customers!
This philosophy lies at the heart of my advice. I try to help the customer service reps (CSRs) help me. Not all of these tips are applicable to every call. The tip on calling early, for example, isn't applicable for large corporations that have 24-hour phone lines; the tip about staying on the line isn't good for dealing with mom-and-pop operations.
- Gather information. Be prepared. Take a few minutes to collect all of the data you might need before you call. It's frustrating for the CSR to have to wait for you to search for basic information.
- Call early. People — including CSRs — are at their best early in the day. You'll get better help from somebody just coming on-shift than from somebody who is tired and anxious to leave.
- Take notes. Get a pen and a pad of paper ready before you call. Write down as much information as possible: the name of the CSR, the time you spoke to him, important phone numbers, price estimates, etc.
- Ask questions. Ask for specifics. Ask for clarification. Ask for options. The CSR would rather have you understand than to assume he meant something else.
- Answer questions. If the CSR asks a question, provide a helpful succinct answer. Don't be defensive. Don't try to anticipate what he needs. Worst, don't ramble on without answering the question.
- Stick to the facts. Don't make assumptions. It's okay to offer a guess, but be sure to note that it's a guess and explain why you're making it.
- Be precise. Generalizations are not helpful. Give as much detailed information as you can. If you're calling for computer support, be ready with error messages that you've transcribed. If you're calling to order a Thneed, be ready with the size and color you want.
- Don't give backstory. The CSR doesn't care. And it can just make things worse. Here's a true story: I was once sideswiped by a semi-truck on the freeway. My car was destroyed. When I called to report the accident, I was still dazed, and told the patient CSR everything that was going through my mind during the accident. All this did was confuse her. The alarming result was that my insurance company believed I had admitted fault!
- Establish a rapport. If possible, establish a connection with the CSR. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to find common ground with other people. Even a few moments of shared goodwill can induce the CSR to make life easier for you.
- Stay on the line. Many CSRs, especially for large companies, are prohibited from ending the call unless you approve it. They may make noises like they're wrapping up the call, but you have to be the one to conclude it. If you're not satisfied, say so, and don't hang up.
- Get a name (and, if appropriate, ticket number). I've found that a ticket number is most helpful with large companies, and that a name is most helpful with small companies. In either case, having this reference can be useful later.
And, of course, the number one piece of advice is to BE FRIENDLY. Dealing with customer service can be frustrating sometimes, no question, but hostility only hurts the situation — it never helps. It's fine to be persistent, but don't get angry or belligerent. It doesn't solve anything.
Demanding people do not get better service. They get worse service. They pay more. Dr. Goodman reports:
Shipping insiders joke that there are three levels of service that customers are given, largely based on how nice they are to company representatives. There is 'Standard' and there is 'Priority' and then there is an unpublicized, but occasionally invoked, lowest level of service called, 'D.F.L.' … 'D' stands for 'Dead,' and the 'L' stands for 'Last.'
At my low-tech business, we have a similar system. Difficult customers have their file folders flagged in bright, bold letters: AHC. For years, they'll pay more than will a customer who is friendly and polite. And a good customer who has a history of being easy to work with can ask for — and receive — all sorts of special favors.
Remember: the best way to get better customer service is to be a better customer.

I always hate it when people show up at my work asking for help to find a printer cartridge, and they don't even know what their printer is.
It also pisses me off when people call us (we're a local chain, if not national), and ask me where the location in _______ suburb is. I assume said person got our number from the White Pages, ergo they should go back and look there. The White Pages are delivered FOR FREE in this town. Apparently, if you have a cell phone, you probably don't get the white pages or the yellow pages. All the same, it's not so hard to use the Internet, or go into a public place of business and ask to use their white or yellow pages (most places of business still have landlines, and I honestly don't see that changing anytime soon).
I have no pity for anyone who can't figure out how to either use the low tech white/yellow pages, or look up stuff they want to know online. It's called thinking for yourself.
I understand some information isn't available online, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that our location and directions are part of the selection that's unavailable in either low tech (maps and white/yellow pages!) or high tech (Mapquest! Yahoo! Maps! Google Maps! White Pages! Yellow Pages! Google! Yahoo! MSN Live Search! Dogpile! etc. etc. etc.).

It's estimated that 845,000 people in Cook County need help finding their next meal. As the economy continues to sputter, the lines have been getting longer and longer at our local food pantries.
Pantries like St. Kevin on the Southeast Side need help to keep the food flowing.
On the Southeast Side of the city in the South Deering neighborhood, the working class poor and those who are unemployed line up at a fresh produce market offered once a month.
"There's been an increase unfortunately. My numbers have been tripled and this year they have quadrupled," said Carmen Tonkovich, one of the organizers. "I do have people who come in and don't believe they are in the same situation as everybody else. They don't like looking at me eye to eye, they didn't think this would happen to them, and now we're all in the same boat right now."
And volunteers like brothers Ronald and Harold Ray have been giving their time here for more than 25 years.
"My mom had to shop at Goodwill to put clothes on my back and to eat. And when you see folks out here who are hungry and need something, just to make sure they get something is a beautiful blessing," Ronald Ray said.
They say these days, they are seeing more and more new faces.
St. Kevin is one of 650 food pantries that work with the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

Experience a villa in Santorini
Santorini's famous sunsets seem to melt into the horizon and transform the Aegean into a sea of pinks and golds. Enjoy some of the best views on the island from Santorini luxury villas, many of which offer clifftop terraces and private pools. Nestled in the hearts of picturesque villages or perched on rocky outcrops, Santorini villa rentals are well placed for discovering the islands charming village life, local restaurants, and natural beauty.
Santorini is the last of the Cyclades island's to the South. The closest islands are Ios, Folegandros, Sikinos to the North, Anafi and Amorgos to the East and Crete to the South. We refer to it as one, but it is actually a ring of five islands, comprising Santorini (Thira), and its smaller neighbors: Thirasia, Aspronisi, Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni.
Some believe Santorini's volcanic history links it to mythical island of Atlantis. Whether or not you believe the legends, Santorini's volcano still makes for a unique excursion from villas in Santorini. Experience luxury villas in Santorini and discover a mysterious island, where the volcano rules and the caldera offers some of the best views on the planet!

Cooking Seasonally--Recipe Swap!
Hello All!
I believe I've shared in the past that I belong to a CSA (community supported agriculture) and get a weekly fresh box of locally farmed veggies/fruits from local Farmer Vicki of Genesis Growers here in Illinois.
I am really interested in seasonal local cooking. Any of you also local chefs? Let's exchange recipes! (Can you tell I am "working" at home today?)
Here in the Chicago area, blueberries are still in season, and we've been getting pints of them in our farm box each week. Had to make something other than throwing them in salads (which is scrumptious), so dug out my cooking seasonally and locally in the Midwest cookbook and found the following recipe for blueberry muffins. And . . . they were a hit at my house--even my 16 year old step-daughter who cannot show enthusiasm about anything at this stage in her life couldn't help but eat them with zeal!
Blueberry Sage Muffins (from Madison Herb Society Cookbook)
* Note: Bake for someone you love when you are in a good mood--best ingredient! *
2 cups blueberries
2 tablespoons minced fresh sage leaves (I used fresh pineapple sage from my garden)
1/2 cup sugar
2-3 tsp. grated lemon zest
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt or sour cream (I used plain Greek yogurt)
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbs. canola oil
1 Tbs. lemon juice
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. each baking soda and salt
Topping: sugar and ground cinnamon
- Method-
Combine blueberries, sage, sugar, and lemon zest; let stand for 30 minutes. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line standard-sized muffin cups with paper liners. Stir egg, yogurt, milk, oil, and lemon juice into blueberries. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into large bowl. Stir the 2 mixtures together until barely combined. Fill each muffin to 1/2 inch from the top. For topping, combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle onto muffins.
Bake until muffin springs back when touched on top, 20-25 minutes. Remove from muffin tins and cool on wire rack. Makes 12 muffins.
Enjoy in love and light . . . your sweet tooth will thank you!

Thank you. I gave it a try except I substituted stevia for sugar and almond flour for the flour and almond milk for the milk & olive oil for the canola.... I had a tough time replacing the yogurt so I followed your lead and went with Greek.I might try substituting applesauce for the yogurt next time???
Who knew sage would accent the blueberries so well!
This is easy and something everyone should try - either your original or my avoid sugar, wheat, milk and canola oil LOL
Delicious! Thank you!
PS I was working on database things and didn't change the login - it's me... Brit
It's nice, Brit, that the identity of your 'secret' doppelgänger has finally been revealed!
Roxie's Robin
Fantastic substitutions, Brit. I've never worked much with almond flour, but sounds really good and much better than the processed nightmare of the wheat industry (even if using non-GMO flour), and eliminating wheat is generally a good thing, probably. Can I ask why the substitution on canola oil? Is it the GMO factor? I do have non-GMO canola oil that I buy/use. Would you recommend not using it at all?
Question on stevia: what kind do you use? I actually grew stevia in my garden last year, dried it, and ground it in a spice grinder. It is as good as anything you buy, but BRIGHT green! I love it! It makes me wonder, however, why the stuff in the grocery stores is white--at least the stevia I've seen in stores.
Glad you enjoyed the recipe overall. Yes, who knew sage would be a perfect complement to blueberries in a muffin, but when I saw the recipe, my heart said "YES!" and it was right!
Following my bliss in the Midwest,

Hi Norma Rae
Canola is mostly GMO so I have avoided it for years. They estimate 90% is GM. My naturopath suggested we just avoid it completely.
Here's a page on it: http://www.nongmoproject.org/2012/0...t-of-your-home/
I bet coconut oil would be delicious in this muffin recipe. Will have to try that
re: Stevia
The sweetness can be naturally extracted from the stevia leaf - they're usually run through a water process and the sweet extract is then dried and powdered.
I prefer buying the stevia leaf powder - although a green tint does come through in a gluten/sugar free white cake LOL. You do have to be careful where purchase powdered stevia leaf as some less reputable sources cut it with wheat grass.
