Days after Swedish Royal Visit to Delaware... Sweden in flames
The 'eye-for-and-eye' attack by two men near London's military barracks is the European story dominating our media this week, but Sweden has seen four successive nights of rioting, and the unrest is spreading.
A plea for calm from Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt Tuesday fell on deaf ears.
The immediate catalyst: The fatal police shooting of a 69-year-old man - said to have threatened cops with a machete - in the Husby, a "suburban" district of Stockholm dominated by people of Middle-Eastern & African origin.
Protesters insist this shooting was not some isolated event, but follows police beatings and derogatory remarks from officers.
Yes, this is happening in idyllic, utopian Sweden, a nation that did comparatively well during the global financial crisis. Indeed, Sweden has enjoyed a reputation as one of the richest and most stable countries in the world... the country that brought us ABBA & Ace of Base, Volvo, and Ikea.
But, beneath the surface, things have been unraveling. Successive Swedish governments have been reducing the role of the state for a couple of decades, triggering the most rapid acceleration of inequality for any advanced OECD country.
Couple that with mounting youth unemployment, especially among young people from immigrant families.
Swedes are debating multiculturalism - whether immigrants are learning Swedish fast enough (Sound familiar?) - and basically whether Swedish society will ever be able to truly integrate these immigrants.
More fuel for the anti-immigration backlash in Europe...
Coverage of the story from Radio Sweden on line...
As usual, the UK's DAILY MAIL on line offers tons of photos in its coverage. (And one commenter complains how this story is largely missing from the U.S. media at the time of our immigration debate)
Coverage from Al Jazeera--English...

"Days after Swedish Royal Visit to Delaware... Sweden in flames"
Are you inferring a causal connection?
Thu, May 23, 2013 12:25pm
Bill, back in the 70's Britain's Lord De La Warr paid a visit to our fine state. Some commemoration of our being named for his ancestor. He left and went back home. Within a couple of weeks, he was run over by a train and, of course, killed.
There may indeed be a connection!

The 10th Lord De La Warr - William Herbrand Sackville - fell in front of a train in 1988. It was ruled a suicide. He was 66.
The late Marie Torre at my last station interviewed him.
However, he reflected Delaware's British heritage long after the establishment of the New Sweden colony.

Can we finally admit multiculturalism doesn't work? It divides rather than unifies.
America was great because we embraced immigrants who actually wanted to be Americans, wanted to know American history, wanted to work hard and wanted to learn English. That concept may sound old-fashioned and archaic but it worked. Our Greatest Generation is an example of what America was and could possibly be again.
Thu, May 23, 2013 9:00pm
Well, hells bells! We're having all the same inequality problems and we've been increasing, not decreasing government.
Could it be both countries need to promote individual responsibility? Also, both countries have been sticking up their middle finger and cursing God. Could that also be part of the problem? I know Kavips and Billsmith don't think so, but who cares about them anyway?
Thu, May 23, 2013 9:04pm
I just noticed the headline that the Wilmington fire chief will no longer carry a firearm. Talk about stupid. This guy just made himself a target for any criminal who'd like to set him up! Why did they tell the press they were carrying in the first place? Isn't it supposed to be CONCEALED carry?
Thu, May 23, 2013 9:32pm
Pizza: Just because it's called a "firearm" doesn't mean you can use it to put out fires."
What does the fire department do? They put out fires.
Remember that. There will be a test.
If there's a god and this god is going to get angry at anyone, it will be angry, hate-filled people who create an angry, hate-filled god in their own image. I stick up my middle finger and curse people like you and your god-concept. And the troubles in Sweden are not caused by any god but (to paraphrase PBS) by people like you.
Swedes are nice people. They join the ELCA. Germans join the Missouri Synod.
Thu, May 23, 2013 10:43pm
billsmith: Like I said earlier, who cares what you think anyway? Certainly not me!
Fri, May 24, 2013 4:06am
Pizza: I wouldn't expect you to. You only care what Rush thinks because he tells you what to think.
Rule of thumb: Places that deliver sell lousy pizza. Tom Monaghan is a right-wing religious nut who sold out to Mitt. Several organizations have organized boycotts for political reasons, as if crap pizza isn't reason enough.
What would somebody named Monaghan from the sticks in the middle of the country know about pizza any way?

Interesting thought. Unrest has always been inbred in our immigrant community. From 1890 thru the 1930's, the immigrant population now part of America was full of revolutionaries, anarchists, and proletarians. The fact that someone above was praising the American system of that time, shows how far we've come. We've forgotten completely about the bad, and only remember the good.
The point is: Though is it easy to blame Muslims as being different and horrible radicals, none of us would think twice about trusting our very lives to a foreign doctor who hailed from Saudi Arabia, Dubai, or Lebanon. We must remember these violent acts are only the tiniest part of the Muslim faith. Just as we were appalled at our nation's KKK, most Muslims look down on their violent brethren too.
After all. America had its riots too.
Fri, May 24, 2013 6:46am
That said, what is really important is that on Allan's list delineating Sweden's donations to the world... Swedish meatbals were left off.
Fri, May 24, 2013 7:39am
kavips: And the US has always had anti-immigrant and anti-minority hatred and persecution. Usually, the next-to-last group wants to slam the door on the most recent arrivals. It is funny you - of all people - would call protesters and organizers "revolutionaries, anarchists, and proletarians." It was phrases like that the elite robber-barons of the day used to justify turning national guards and state police on picketers trying to organize into unions. I would have thought you would be on the side of people who peacefully "assemble or petition the government for redress of grievances." Peacefully, at least until corporate and government goons show up and start shooting and swinging clubs.

Billsmith and Kavips: Speaking of the US back at the start of the 20th Century, I was listening online yesterday and will finish this morning, listening to a program about Henry Ford and his times on WBUR[NPR]Boston's On Point podcast. So far pretty interesting. Here's the link if you guys are interested.
Fri, May 24, 2013 1:38pm
Yes, earlier immigrants did have all the issues kavips mentioned above... But, at the end of the day, they were actually proud to be American citizens.
They didn't migrate from other parts of the world to live off the social programs of this country, and they didn't try to turn this country into the one from which they had just fled.
They came to America for freedom, and a better life for their families.
"We must remember these violent acts are only the tiniest part of the Muslim faith. Just as we were appalled at our nation's KKK, most Muslims look down on their violent brethren too."
It's true that only a very small fraction of the Muslim faith community are radicalized Islamists who want to kill infidels... The problem is that most of today's terrorism seems to be done by people claiming Islam as their religion.
A closer good/bad ratio comparison can be found in the example of motorcyclists...99% are fine upstanding citizens who simply want to enjoy riding around town on two wheels... but 1%ers are violent gang members. Just as Hell�s Angels and Pagans are 1%ers of motorcycle culture, so too are radical Islamists the 1%ers of Islam. �
So why not have law enforcement/FBI/DHS/IRS keep a careful watch over and arrest these violent 1%ers as they are caught breaking our laws?
Yes, our country is (and always has been) a Melting Pot�but if you continue to add small amounts of poison to the mix it will contaminate the entire Pot and destroy America.

EarlGrey: Well said.
Fri, May 24, 2013 6:44pm
Earl: When they got here, your people were probably considered "poison," too.
And you really don't want to start counting and comparing the amount of violence done by Christians and by Muslims. You also don't want to compare how Christians have been treated by Muslims and how Muslims have been treated by Christians. You won't like the result.
When oppressed people fight back, people like you call it "terrorism."
Sat, May 25, 2013 2:53am
billsmith: You're oppressed by the devil.
Sat, May 25, 2013 6:29pm
Pizza: Yahweh oppresses. Lucifer possess.
Sun, May 26, 2013 11:36am
BillS... Only if you let them... We have free will and can choose not to be oppressed by God, or possessed by the devil.
Although we blame circumstance for our lot, in reality, we got there by our own decisions.....
Looking above, I realized I could have put quotes around "revolutionaries, anarchists, and proletarians." so it was more obvious I was paralleling the sentiments during the last century's beginning... That said, even without the quotes, it is very hard to see how one could make a jump that I was arguing for crackdown and oppression... You were right in thinking I would be on the side of those "redressing their grievances" in a public forum.
Which segways into what's on the news this weekend, where a protester interrupts Obama's speech with anti- drone sentiments. Eventually she is removed for disruptive purposes, but what is most intriguing is that she is like the old woman in the Princess Bride who is really arguing the position of the inner core of Obama himself... I got the goosebumps feeling it was God was speaking through this woman directly to Obama to do something.... We know Obama was anti drone in his first campaign, but we also know under him, the drone campaign has escalated to killing over 4000 people.
As one watches one gets tired of the interruptions and wants the lady to shut up... But had she never spoken, events would progress unaltered into the future as does any physical object on the move until a counterforce is applied to stop it....
So the video footage does multiple things. One the first layer is is a disruptive protest, and dis-respective to all those others attending. Second layer, one realizes the protester and president are on the same side of the same topic. Third, the protest must continue until the lady is removed because to protest once and sit down, then have the answer spoken by the president, makes light of the dangerous morality the US is treading when it persists in sending our ninji force (drones) into other's homes because of something we think they said.... To sit down after one protest would be as if that British Lady after the hacking, got her answer and walked away... So again the third layer is realizing that this must be played out to the end to her removal... The fourth layer, is after the removal, realizing what a great nation this is, that such an event could happen...
Sun, May 26, 2013 12:31pm
Too bad she didn't just throw a shoe at the Chicago, race-card playing political ho like that guy did at Dubya, the drunk, stupid little twerp.
Actually, I bet you approve when somebody demonstrates against White presidents. "Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" "One, two, three, yell 'Richard Nixon, burn in hell'." You are a racist. You give this unqualified, unprincipled jerk a pass because he's (half) Black. You vote for him because he's (half) Black. That's just as racist as the wing-nuts who hate him because he's (half) Black. Of course, he didn't become Black until he decided on a political career. Like all those people who become American Indians when there's a treaty money pay-out.

Design Team
The Lawn Fawn design team is second to none. We love these ladies not only for their talent and style but also because of their wonderful personalities and kindness. Please visit their blogs for inspiration and ideas using our sets. I guarantee that you will walk away ready to create!
I've always had a love for all sorts of crafts. Paper-crafting, specifically card making is a passion of mine. I love the escape that card-making provides, and that I can complete one in a relatively short amount of time. Plus, who doesn't love receiving a handmade card in the mail? It's so nice to know that someone's day will be brightened when they open their mailbox and find something besides bills and junk-mail.
I am so excited to be part of the Lawn Fawn design team. I love trying all sorts of new techniques in paper-crafting, but my standby is stamping. There are so many creative options with stamps that the possibilities are endless. The Lawn Fawn stamps are truly unique and open up so many creative options!
Chari MossHello! My name is Chari {pronounced like Charlotte, for those of you wondering} and I live in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina with my husband Matt and our little dachshund Penny. Graduating from NCSU School of Design, I work as an Architect during the day, but still need a creative outlet away from work. I have been crafting and creating in some form all my life and developed a love for stamps at a very young age. I like bright and fun design and enjoy sharing them with others. I continue to learn and grow and be inspired by the amazing paper crafting community. Besides crafting & architecture I also enjoy art, photography, movies with my hubby, exploring the mountains, spending time with family and friends and traveling when I can. I am super excited to join the Lawn Fawn team. I just adore my Lawn Fawn stamps and discovering them is what renewed my passion for stamping after a long break from paper crafting. Lawn Fawn stamps are fun and have a style all their own, a style that fits me perfectly. :)
Cristina "Yainea" NuñezHello! My name is Cristina but I use Yainea as a nickname all the time. I live in a small city in the northwest of Spain. As a Computer Engineer I love all computer related stuff, even playing video games. In the complete opposite of that I love making all kind of things with my own hands: baking, sewing, painting and of course, crafting! Also, I love animals (I have two dogs and a cat), going to the movies and reading :) I'm really excited about becoming a member of the amazing Lawn Fawn design team! I love Lawn Fawn stamps, they are super cute and unique! Here in Spain cardmaking and scrapbooking are not very popular yet so when, some time ago, I saw "Winter Bunny" for the first time, I didn't know anything about stamping. That little guy is the one guilty of that I'm here today! Well... He's so cute! I hope you find inspiration in my incoming Lawn Fawn projects so we could have fun together! Thank you :)
Kim JacksonMy name is Kim Jackson, and I'm a 30-something writer, editor, and papercrafter living in Midvale, Utah. I live in a just-the-right-size townhouse with my boyfriend, Chris. We bought it in 2007, and immediately started remodeling. Yikes! Until recently, I was a senior editor at Creating Keepsakes magazine, and have had scrapbook layouts and other projects published frequently in its pages since 2010. You'll also find my cards in a few special issues of Paper Crafts magazine. In addition to papercrafting, I love to sew and knit. There's something so satisfying about working with your hands on something creative--especially if you're making something for someone else. I feel so lucky to now be a part of the fabulous Lawn Fawn design team!
Latisha YoastMy name is Latisha Yoast, I am in my thirties, married to the best guy around and have a son and daughter who fill my heart. I was born and raised in California, but around 11 years ago my husband joined the Navy (helo pilot), and now we move every few years (good thing I love to travel). Today, we call Orange Park, Florida home. A few years ago, when both of my children were in elementary school, and I had more time at home to do "Latisha stuff". It was then I decided, I now had time for a hobby. I have always loved art, paper supplies, making something from hand and the process of being creative, so paper crafting just seemed to be the perfect fit for me. I feel so lucky to be able to serve on various design teams and to have my work printed in magazines, it really is a thrill to create. Creating is my happy place, where I am able to zone out and put all of my stress and problems aside, I guess its like therapy for me. Being a military spouse, and dealing with moving and at times being alone, the one constant in my life besides my faith, is crafting and being creative. My family always comes first but having a creative outlet, reminds me of who I am. Besides being a card concept designer, I enjoy photography, scrapbooking, sewing, shopping and eating and a whole lot more, but this bio is getting long lol. Yep this is me in a nutshell.
Linda BarberI've been scrapbooking in one way or another since I was kid. Back then, I was cutting stuff out of magazines and glueing them onto a spiral notebook. We are talking pictures of soccer stars (I grew up in Brazil, we like our soccer there) and matinee idols! I started scrapbooking in a more modern way about seven-ish years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. I live in Los Angeles with my hubby, my three sons (13, 11, 6, and yes, our house is very active and noisy!), and ginormous amounts of scrapbooking supplies, yarn, and travel books. You can find my scrappy work in Creating Keepsakes' magazine where I'm a Dream Team member, or on my blog.
Lynnette KauffmanI live in Indianapolis with my sweet husband of 2 years, Carlin, and our 2 dogs and 4 cats (you read this correctly, we have this many animals, but that is another story). We are active in our church, and love the Indianapolis Colts.
I've always had a love for all sorts of crafts. Paper-crafting, specifically card making is a passion of mine.

Melissa MannHey everyone! My name is Melissa Mann and I live on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico in Pensacola, FL! I'm married to the best guy, Troy, and we have two dogs, Sammy and Lucy, and one cat, Daisy. I first started scrapbooking in 2005 - shortly after we moved here from Maryland. Since then, it has slowly overtaken our spare bedroom! I have been privileged to be published in CARDS, Scrapbook Trends, & Create magazines. I also design for American Crafts, Blue Moon Scrapbooking, SEI, and The Green Frog Studio. My day job consists of being a team lead for the front desk team at a condominium resort in Perdido Key, FL. I am super excited to be designing for Lawn Fawn and am truly thankful for the opportunity!
Melissa StinsonMy name is Melissa Stinson, and I live in Huntsville, Alabama with my husband, Darren, and our small array of cats, dogs, and reptiles. I've been scrapbooking over 13 years- ever since I graduated from high school! This hobby has stuck with me through college (I graduated with a degree in Computer Science), getting married, and the last ten years that I've worked as a software engineer. I think it's safe to say that it's here to stay!! Aside from scrapbooking, I have tons of hobbies that take up plenty of my time. I'm an avid photographer who'll jump at almost any opportunity to take photos (for example, I know nothing about football, yet I love it when I get a chance to shoot a game from the sidelines). I'm also more than slightly addicted to my Body Pump and RPM (cycling) classes (I'm something of a grouch if I don't get to go), I love to run, and I also hold a second degree black belt in Taekwondo. I'm also a HUGE sci-fi geek. Give me a Star Wars novel or a good episode of Doctor Who, and I'm a happy girl!!
Tiffany JohnsonMy name is Tiffany Johnson. I'm a SAHM, an Army wife, Army daughter, avid papercrafter, music lover, dancer wannabe and pseudo-chef! I'm a very eclectic person and will try anything at least once! I love the great outdoors as much as I love curling up with a book in my club chair.

'Zero Dark Thirty' captures No. 1 at box office
This undated publicity photo released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows, from left, Ryan Gosling as Sgt. Jerry Wooters, Josh Broslin, as Sgt. John O'Mara, Michael Pena, as Officer Navidad Ramirez, Robert Patrick, as Officer Max Kennard, and Anthony Mackie, as Officer Coleman Harris, in Warner Bros. Pictures' and Village Roadshow Pictures' drama, "Gangster Squad," a Warner Bros. Pictures release. To bring the story of mobster Mickey Cohen's reign over post-war Los Angeles to life, the director of "Gangster Squad" employed Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and more than 100 irreplaceable vintage American cars. (AP Photo/Warner Bros. Pictures, Wilson Webb)
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - "Zero Dark Thirty" hunted down the top spot at the box office — and easily won it.
Sony Pictures' controversial Osama bin Laden raid drama nabbed first place with $24 million in its first weekend in wide release, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The film, which opened in a limited run last month, earned five Oscar nominations last week, including best picture, original screenplay and actress for Jessica Chastain as a dogged CIA operative.
Open Road Films' horror parody "A Haunted House" starring Marlon Wayans debuted in second place with a solid $18.8 million. The Warner Bros. mobster drama "Gangster Squad," starring Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling as off-the-books police officers battling a mob boss played by Sean Penn, opened below expectations in third place with $16.7 million.
After earning Oscar nominations last week, several Academy Awards contenders benefited at the box office. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences moved up the unveiling of the Oscar nominations to Thursday, three days ahead of Sunday's Golden Globes, Hollywood's second-biggest awards ceremony organized by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
"The timing is great because there are a host of these awards contenders still out there," said Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst at Hollywood.com. "'Django Unchained,' 'Les Miserables,' 'Lincoln,' 'Silver Linings Playbook' and a few others are still out there. Which movies win tonight at the Golden Globes will definitely receive a boost going forward."
At the Golden Globes, "Zero Dark Thirty" will be up against "Argo," ''Django Unchained," ''Life of Pi" and "Lincoln" in the best motion picture drama category. It's also competing against those films for the best picture prize at the Oscars ceremony on Feb. 24, as well as "Amour," ''Beasts of the Southern Wild," ''Les Miserables" and "Silver Linings Playbook."
Controversies surrounding "Zero Dark Thirty," which depicts waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods, may have helped create buzz for the film. Several lawmakers accused the CIA of misleading "Zero Dark Thirty" filmmakers by allegedly telling them such interrogation methods helped track down terrorist mastermind bin Laden in 2011.
"There are so many facets of 'Zero Dark Thirty' that have created interest in it," said Rory Bruer, head of distribution at Sony. "Ultimately, it's a great film. That's the piece that you really need to have to get this great of a result. I think it's a film that's not only going to do well in the marketplace but also be talked about for years to come."
The weekend's third place finisher, "Gangster Squad," similarly attracted controversy last year after the mass shooting at an Aurora, Colo., movie theatre left 12 dead. Warner Bros. pulled the movie's trailer and delayed the release out of sensitivity because the film originally featured a scene with mobsters ruthlessly shooting into a movie theatre audience.
The entire sequence featuring Brolin's character being ambushed inside famed Hollywood movie palace Grauman's Chinese Theater was removed from "Gangster Squad" and replaced with a new scene, which cost millions of dollars to reshoot, set in Los Angeles' Chinatown neighbourhood. The rest of the film's many bullet-ridden Tommy gun battles remained intact.
"There's nothing that indicates violence was an issue," said Jeff Goldstein, general sales manager at Warner Bros. "I don't think that's the case here. The exit polling tells us that people liked what they saw in 'Gangster Squad.' I think we'll have a nice hold going into the holiday weekend where people will be more available and have more leisure time."
Internationally, "Life of Pi" dominated in 68 territories with $35.8 million, bringing its worldwide total to $452.1 million. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" followed closely behind with $35.1 million in 62 territories. The worldwide total for the first "Hobbit" chapter is now $886.1 million. "Les Mis" earned $35.6 million in 23 territories, giving it a $234.3 million worldwide total.
Overall business in North America this weekend came in at $142 million, up more than 7 per cent from the same period last year, when the Mark Wahlberg thriller "Contraband" led the box office with $24.3 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. It marks the third weekend in a row for Hollywood when business has been up over last year.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. "Zero Dark Thirty," $24 million ($1.2 million international).
2. "A Haunted House," $18.8 million.
3. "Gangster Squad," $16.7 million ($9.1 million international).

8. "Parental Guidance," $6.1 million ($4.6 million international).

2. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," $26.1 million.

A word from Lincoln Ristorante
At Lincoln Ristorante, we offer our interpretation of modern Italian cuisine in New York at Lincoln Center. Our philosophy is simple: to source the best local ingredients and prepare them with authentic Italian methods and spirit. While our location beside Lincoln Center's reflecting pool is exquisite, with panoramic views and a grass lawn roof, the heart of our restaurant is the central open kitchen.Continued
The menu offers our take on traditional preparations ranging from spaghetti al pomodoro to vitello tonnato and simply grilled branzino. Antipasti coax rustic ingredients into dishes with deep, savory flavors. Desserts are beautiful renditions of Italy's classics: light, lush and irresistible.
While reservations are recommended to ensure a table, walk-ins are welcome at our bar where the full menu is served. We are open seven days a week offering lunch, pre-theater, dinner and weekend brunch.

- Not What We HopedJohn4VIPDined on 9/29/2014My wife ate here shortly after it opened and enjoyed it very much, but for me it was a much anticipated first time visit. We enjoyed the decor and the location next to Lincoln Center, but the food was disappointing. I rarely have trouble finding dishes I enjoy, but oddly the selections were not very appealing. The beef, which our waiter said was so good, was merely adequate, and the appetizers were tasteless. I enjoyed my pasta dish filled with butternut squash but my wife did not enjoy her squid ink pasta. Even the deserts were ho hum. If you have a nut allergy you choices will be severely limited. The prices were reasonable for a restaurant that aspires to rise above the crowd. The problem for us was that it got lost among the masses.
- Good location but poor service.HisabonDined on 9/28/2014Please try yourself ! You can feel easy ! Food is good but service like a Marcy's restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top of the HeapRockyroadVIPDined on 9/28/2014Great food, ambiance and service.A winning combination that includes an open kitchen that lives up to its top billing. It is the main event at Lincoln Center that will keep drawing raves.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- lincolnPic1Dined on 9/27/2014Lincoln center was convenient, centrally located and a people watching opportunity. The ingredients that went into the meal were carefully chosen; however, for our tastes we felt it a bit too fussy and not necessarily a note worthy culinary experience.All of the items we chose to were good except the desert( eggplant , pasta bolognese, seafood stew, and wagyu Kobe beef all tasty) The decor was modern and architecturally sleek if you can appreciate such; but we felt it carried through to the staff and service. Although the service was timely and attentive it was far from warm or engaging.I can't say I would rush back especially at the price point.Special Features:
- Opera diningNozzeDined on 9/25/2014It's obvious but ideal. Not to be underestimated. It's never enough to just have good food or setting or timing. This has all three in a romantic combination which substantially enhances a visit to the Lincoln centre.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- chapschapsDined on 9/21/2014Was told before ordering dessert that the restaurant was sold out for a later event; would have preferred to not have made reservation if not able to enjoy relaxed brunch.Special Features:
- Excellent!!GmmMcDined on 9/20/2014From the moment you walk in the door you are treated to a great dining experience. Staff is friendly. Food is great. Atmosphere beautiful. Huge wine list. We walked here after a Broadway show and loved it. Absolutely wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A miss on serviceSkipBuzzVIPDined on 9/19/2014Second time at this sleek, modern Lincoln Center, open kitchen restaurant. The layout and ambiance are gorgeous. Pool view is more desirable than Julliard School view but booths are perfect for quiet conversation. Food courses are innovative and extremely well prepared. Wine pairing for prix fixe is very much worth the effort and $s. Service is ok but bumbles around a bit ( frequently attempts to clear before all are finished) and wait between courses is annoyingly long.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our new favorite!LovetodineVIPDined on 9/18/2014We have been to The Lincoln a half dozen times and it is now our "go to" for special occasions and visitors. Food is constantly outstanding and plenty of great choices for vegetarians. The eggplant alone is worth the visit.Special Features:
- You can never wrong at Lincoln!VsterDined on 9/18/2014This is an all time favorite spot for any occasion. Family friendly for multi-generational gatherings and a must for out of town friends to enjoy the best of a New York cultural hot spot. Never had a fail here in either food or service. I keep recommending this place to even my die hard New Yorker native friends who always thank me for steering them here.Special Features:
- Food and service below parDiscriminatingDinerDined on 9/17/2014Prior to ordering at our 6PM arrival, we advised the service staff of the curtain time at 7:30 PM. The main course did not arrive until 7:05PM and the hostess was arrogant when we reminded her that we had little time before the curtain. The wine list is very expensive, however, the "wine steward" was pleasant and fairly knowledgeable. The dinner menu is small and also expensive. With so many good and accessible restaurants around Lincoln Center, patrons have many choices--this is NOT high on my list.Special Features:
- Love this Resaurantpkf242VIPDined on 9/14/2014Excellent service, comfortable seats, spacious dining, inventive menu. Eggplant parmesan made in heaven - we love everything about this place. Rarely misses a stepSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decor over diningengprofVIPDined on 9/13/2014This place has a fabulous interior, friendly servers, a superb wine list and sommelier, and food that is inconsistent, ranging from excellent to only pretty good. The menu is small, so unless you stick to the greats, you can be disappointed. My pork chop was mediocre, for instance, but steak very good.Special Features:
- ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/13/2014Had an overall amazing experience. Great food and decor. Superb wine selections accompanied by an insightful sominier.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and Service 5 StarsAnnaBananaDined on 9/11/2014Both the food a service are worth the rating. The service was perfect throughout the meal and I would go back here for sure.Special Features:
- LINCOLN IS A GEMpollybrewDined on 9/10/2014WE WERE VERY HAPPY DINING AT LINCOLN. THE FOOD IS CREATIVE AND DELICIOUS. THE DECOR IS BEAUTIFUL, SIMPLE, ELEGANT. THE SERVICE AND HOSPITALITY WERE EXCELLENT! THE ONLY COMPLAINT WE HAVE IS THAT THE WINES BY THE GLASS WERE UNDISTINGUIISED AND PRICEY. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT VISIT.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticAmazedDined on 9/7/2014Amazing food, artistically presented, yet good sized portions with outstanding flavors. We sat outside on a late summer night, right by the reflecting pool at Lincoln center...beautiful scenery. We even brought our 3 year old daughter, and the staff was very accommodating. One of the best meals we've eaten in the city in years.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Modern Italian in Lincoln CenterjakeDined on 9/6/2014We thoroughly enjoyed dining at Lincoln which is in the plaza in Lincoln Center and has big picture windows overlooking all pedestrian action as well as a lovely pool and sculpture. The architecture of the restaurant and the interior design are fabulous and part of the dining experience. There were two of us dining, the food was excellent, the only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is that my husbands steak was not as good as it should have been. That being said, go to Lincoln for the regional specialties and the pastas, that is what they do exceedingly well. Service was exceptional. We will go back many times.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but service uneven.GinnyDined on 9/5/2014Lincoln is a beautiful restaurant, and is especially so outside on a nice summer night. But the service was a bit uneven. The gentleman serving bread, etc., was great. The waitress, not so. When she told me they couldn't keep the shrimp out of the grilled octopus appetizer (due to an allergy), I asked her to come back in two minutes to take our order. But after 15 minutes or so she had not returned, so I had to flag down another waitress to take our order. Service was slow throughout the night--not what you'd expect here, since in the past it's been very attentive. Also, the pork chop was very tough and disappointing. The menu is limited--they need to add some specials so you don't have to pick from the same few choices every time.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/4/2014Excellent restaurant. Food and atmosphere are terrific. Great for busines dinners or for personal dinners.
- Excellent choiceJadedNewYorkerDined on 9/4/2014All of the favorable reviews are entirely justified. Service is excellent and inobtrusive and food quality is very high. Outdoor tables have a very pleasant setting overlooking one of the Lincoln Center plazas and one of its fountainsSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GarmentoVIPDined on 8/31/2014This rest is great in all areas - good for lunch or dinner. I love eating here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining DivadiningdivaVIPDined on 8/30/2014I would definitely recommend Lincoln. A gorgeous setting overlooking Milstein Fountain. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The food was delicious and artfully prepared. Lovely atmosphere, perfect for special occasion too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lost Its LustergavdinerVIPDined on 8/30/2014A disappointing meal at a generally stellar restaurant. Service was off at our al fresco table on a recent summer night. At one point, my dinner guest said "I feel like we're invisible!" The kitchen also seemed to be off stride. From the three-course tasting menu, only the appetizer (poached tuna) was up to the reputation and price point of Lincoln. I hope this was an exception (and not a trend) to what has previously been an outstanding dining experience.Special Features:
- Beautiful setting, great foodFrequentvisitorDined on 8/30/2014I agree with other reviewers that most tables afford a wonderful view, we had one right in front of the open kitchen (which is glassed in to afford views but keep the noise down). Lincoln center is gorgeous on a summer night. Food was wonderful, not 100% but very close, and great desserts. Highly recommended for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- First time at LincolnLIbirderDined on 8/30/2014We were in the city over Labor Day weekend so were able to dine last minute at Lincoln (usually it's booked well ahead of time). We ate outside, listening to a rebroadcast of last season's opera Don Pasquale via huge screen TV on the Lincoln Center plaza. It was lovely. I will say that Lincoln is for adventurous eaters (somewhat limited menu, some unusual ingredients and ingredient pairing). The food was delicious though, timing was right (we were even asked if we would like our coffee with, before or after dessert) and service was great with lots of staff. We will definitely eat here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a great eveningxoxoDined on 8/29/2014We went here for our anniversary and asked for a table outside Everything was excellent - we will go here whenever we canSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A beautiful spotshepprDined on 8/29/2014For coziness and beauty, this place can't be beat. The staff is very sweet, too. The service can be a bit overbearing in fussiness and formality, which is not one of my preferred experiences. I want to relax and have good food; I don't need people trying to impress me or flatter me. After two separate dining experiences here, with a different menu each time, I have to say the food just doesn't live up to the ambiance. It's not bad ... it's just not great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great dinnerswedeDined on 8/29/2014this was my third visit at the Lincoln Ristorante and I think the food is getting better and better... A great location with also outside seating option with the best Italian cuisine in town!Special Features:
- Always wonderful !!circleofsteveDined on 8/29/2014Never fails for creative food in magical setting. Views of plaza a plus.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The perfect placeOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014For who we are, our connection to Lincoln Center and history of work and play there, combined with the interesting, beautiful and delicious food, it was a perfect evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dining experiencefoodie85Dined on 8/24/2014The food was good, and the restaurant had amazing ambience, especially since it was at night. The staff were very accommodating to our tight schedule as well. Overall, the experience was very good and we will definitely be going back.Special Features:
- Miss47Dined on 8/22/2014Very good neighborhood restaurant. Convenient to our apartment. Very attractive room with good food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Subtle and Confident!SlimstrateDined on 8/22/2014From the approach of the wait staff to the menu itself, subtle and confident describes this wonderful restaurant. Refined but not arrogant, the Lincoln is simply a wonderful and classy location with great ambience set among some of the world's best venues for the performing arts. Little surprises during dinner such as a complimentary starter and a "sweet parting gift" at the end of the meal add to the allure. Highly recommend this location.Special Features:
- JamieVIPDined on 8/22/2014The food was very much hit or miss, some dishes were very good while others were not nearly as successful. Fruit on plates was shockingly unripe! The desserts were entertaining but not in a positive way. Expected a fine dining restaurant with fine dining service, but service was more on par with a casual restaurant. Very much lacking.Special Features:
- Consistently great,creative ItalianSixSigmaBBVIPDined on 8/22/2014Love this place. Artisanal cocktails unique and refreshing. 4 course $75 prix fixe, allowing full menu choices, feels like a steal. Freshest buffalo mozzarella, juiciest heirloom tomatoes, mint salsa were a divine appetizer. Pasta (and they have gluten free!) with sausage, smoked caciocavallo, and other treasures, was to-die-for. Fish entrée with seafood in broth, simple but still very good. Their take on "tartufo" is the piece de resistance. It should NEVER come off the menu! I can't adequately describe it. Chocolate hazelnut heaven, custard and cream under hot fudge poured at table with sliced sauced cherries on the side sounds so ineffective as description. I would almost kill for an order of it right now.Special Features:
- SwissySwissy747Dined on 8/20/2014The service is good, but for a work meeting we were interrupted often and she would not wait for a pause in the discussion. They tried to take away our wine and our food before we were finished. But the food was good as always.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Summer Outside at Lincoln Is JoyfulIrishfe53VIPDined on 8/16/2014Lincoln is a must do restaurant on the plaza level of Lincoln Center to the sides of Avery Fisher Hall and the Metropolitan Opera. The inside rooms are handsome and spacious. Service is always gracious, thoughtful and efficient. Food is very good to excellent. In summer there also is outdoor dining overlooking the Henry Moore sculpture in the Milstein pool. There are no cars, hordes of people, cranky children in strollers. We enjoyed a relaxing Saturday lunch and plan to return at least twice more this season. The salumi, Mercado salad, striped bass and pasta with mushroom and pork ragu were memorable. We opted for dessert and devoured the white espresso and chocolate gelati and the fig sorbet. Summer weekends in NYC can be glorious.Special Features:
- JohnnyDined on 8/15/2014Excellent food and presentation in one of the most beautiful settings for eating in New York City.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ServiceDianeVIPDined on 8/14/2014We were very rushed. They accepted our reservation time and then said they were in a hurry to close the kitchenSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

All Oliver's Stupid Decisions Come to Head on Arrow
Oliver Queen has many good qualities - strength, aim, the ability to seduce foxy evil ladies. But we all know that his brain is the equivalent of a bunch of earthworms tied in a knot, and he feels the consequences of that in this episode, entitled "Deathstroke." »

What does this officer know? What does he really know? The intense gaze and accusationational gesture raise tension in an already tense situation. Also he is clearly a warrior, and an officer, as he has a desert hardened tan, a pistol and a wristwatch.The sense that something is happening "in there" is nicely and simply created by the viewing window of the action contained within the red wall or boundary. This is further emphasised by the shadow behind the officer that naturally doesn't fall throught the window. Also in the window itself there's a scene of a gritty battle pitting raw flesh against hardend steel as the sun beats down from a cloudless sky over a sandy desert.
As covers go, War Picture Library 412 Murder Charge is an absolute winner 10/10!

Q: When I saw the strawberry cake recipe in your column recently I was so excited, and then I realized it wasn't the one I wanted. The recipe I want I clipped from your column long ago and lost in Hurricane Andrew. It called for fresh strawberries in the batter and frosting, and you would never guess it came from a mix.
Susan Cushman
A: This recipe dates from 1983 and originated with Glenda Rice Collins of Palm Beach Gardens, who said it brought back memories of her home economics teacher, Mrs. Kirkpatrick, at Cherokee Junior High in Tulsa, Okla.
Q: My family has fallen in love with the orange pineapple muffins at our Giant Eagle grocery store. They are moist and full of incredible citrusy flavor, with a crunchy sugary topping. Could you get the recipe?
Nancy Kerchmar
A: I was unable to snag the proprietary recipe, but tinkered to come up with muffins I hope will come close. I found on my first attempt that using orange juice makes the batter too acidic for a nice rise, so I relied on zest and extract, with orange juice in the brush-on to give it more flavor and shine and hold the crunchy sugar. The pineapple makes these muffins very moist and quick to spoil, so be sure to store them in the refrigerator or freezer.
Q: Can you tell me how DeliverLean makes its shrimp cakes?
A: Whether you're watching calories or looking for something different to serve during Lent, these coconut-fried shrimp cakes are easy and delicious. DeliverLean is a South Florida company that creates and delivers portion-controlled meals.

Premier Betting was established during the 2010 World Cup and since that competition, the membership service has provided Subscribers with 3 profitable years and is now probably the fastest growing betting advisory service of its type on the internet.
For the 2013/2014 season we will be offering a slightly different service than in previous years. We will now be giving you access to one of our successful betting portfolios. This is aimed at the slightly more experienced investor, who operates with a dedicated betting bank and can follow a strict fixed return staking approach.
Why the new approach? - To make consistent long term profits in the betting arena, picking 1 or 2 bets a week is a tough game. Profits will have its highs and lows and the reality 100 or even 200 bets over a couple of seasons doesn't mean you will make the same Yield % year in year out as the sample size is still relatively small and invariably will only focus on certain markets and price points ..
The major leagues in Europe are on the whole fairly consistent, however there are degrees of variance, which leads to what is good one season, may not be the following. With the "Portfolio Approach" that we use for our own investments, we look at spreading this risk across varying markets and price points, much like a hedge fund manager would in the traditional financial markets.
So what betting markets will we be covering and how many bets per month should you expect? This can vary week on week, however a reasonable guide you will be placing bets on around 20-25 per month covering Match odds, Half Time markets, varying U/O Goal lines and a few fringe markets, with odds ranging from 2/5 (1.40) – 5/1 (6.0).
Staking – With the varying price points, level stakes betting is not suited and "Fixed Return" investment is encouraged. We will each week along with the selections advise what you need to stake on each selection. Alongside this you can also apply a cumulative staking approach.
This is where after each round of bets you adjust your bank size in line with your profit/loss from the previous week. You have the choice which method you, either way is fine, the latter is advised if you do not rely on taking any profits from your betting bank over the season.
What profits can I make? Million dollar question and obviously this is dependent on how good our results perform. On average your yield % should be around 15%. In the last 12 months we have personally hit some staggering numbers, however anything over 10% would be an acceptable figure.
What does it cost? – The good news is the price remains the same as last season.
Membership fees are £189 for the full 12 months, £129 for 6 months or £69 for 3 months with all options commencing from the date of joining. These are single payment Subscriptions - we no longer provide a monthly subscription plan or free trial period. Please click the required Subscription button below.

5 Stocks Under $10 With Big Upside Potential
American Superconductor
One under-$10 stock that's worth watching here is power technology player American Superconductor (AMSC). The bears have done a number on this equity in 2011, and shares are off by over 84%.
If you take a look at the chart for American Superconductor, you'll see that this stock has been doing nothing but trending lower since its July high of $9.15. The stock recently hit a low of $3.21 and has started to rebound to its current price of near $4.30 a share. Market players should now monitor AMSC for a breakout trade if a couple of key technical levels can be taken out to the upside in the coming days or weeks.
Those breakout levels worth watching are the 50-day moving average at $4.66 and some past overhead resistance at $4.79. Traders should watch for a high-volume move above those levels to trigger a potentially big move higher. Look for volume on the breakout that's tracking in close to or above its three-month average action of 1.3 million shares.>>Semiconductor Stocks Liked by Hedge Funds This stock has failed to make a sustained move above the 50-day in months, so if that does occur soon on high volume, I would consider it a bullish development. One could be a buyer of this stock once it takes out the 50-day and $4.79 on high-volume. Simply use a stop that's a few percentage points below the 50-day in case the breakout fails. Keep in mind that this is a heavily shorted name since the current short interest as a percentage of the float for AMSC is 30.3%. Any near-term breakout could trigger a monster short squeeze, so make sure to watch for any high volume spikes above that 50-day in the coming days or weeks.

Carrier Command: Gaea Mission - a super-hard, amphibious RTS in an ArmA 3-quality world
This article originally appeared is issue 243 of PC Gamer UK.
It's almost like Bohemia remade Carrier Command to remind you how tough games should be. My Mantas are diving into the sea, my islands are being taken incrementally by an aggressive AI while I faff about taking just one of its archipelagoes, and my Walruses are being clubbed to death by ground defences. And the enemy doesn't even have a carrier! Carrier Command is lemon difficult.
The original Carrier Command, of which this is a particularly accurate remake, was created back in the mists of gaming history, 24 whole years ago. I'm not surprised if you didn't play it, but I find it sad that it's been so long. Carrier Command is from the 'platypus' genre – games like Battlezone and Giants: Citizen Kabuto that have webbing and bills in all the wrong places, and lay eggs – and those games are always fascinating.
In Carrier Command, you take control of a naval carrier. Obviously. It is both a mobile arms depot and futuristic mothership, carrying four amphibious tanks, four flying egg boxes, a fistful of big guns, and a bellyful of spare parts. You control these vehicles either directly or on the superbly intuitive map, directing them to capture islands which can be turned into mines, factories or defences.
It's a game of joyous plate-spinning. Keeping an eye on eight precious vehicles and islands whilst trying to focus on your objectives and production is tough. The build we're playing is a classic beta – feature-complete but without the bells and whistles of a tutorial, campaign and so on – but it's clear the learning curve is steep.
What makes it compelling is that it's so well thought out – the vision of vehicles decreases the further they get from your carrier, so controlling them at distance gets even harder. When your carrier is travelling between islands, the game dilates time so that you're never sitting around. You can flip between unit cameras while watching the map. And woe betide a player who loses a kitted-out Walrus and hasn't got the spare parts to replace it.
On top of that, it looks astounding. Bohemia have created a perfectly futuristic carrier and placed it in an ArmA 3-quality real world. The islands themselves are hand-crafted (though randomly placed on the map in this sandbox beta), so invading one is like unpicking a fine weave; using a quick air strike to take out the weak AT guns, before a hasty retreat away from the AA fire buys me the time I need to rush a hacking Walrus into the Command Centre of an island. It's only a pity that the preview build I've played has so little variety – the same island types crop up repeatedly, and the enemy carrier is still disabled.
It's fantastic to see such a faithful remake of such an attractive aberrant. Since E3 last year, Carrier Command has been top of my must-play list, and this playthrough has just made me even more excited.

This is the indoor pressure smoker that cooks barbecue brisket in only one hour--five times faster than traditional methods. Combining a pressure cooker and smoker in one appliance, the device increases the internal pressure by 15 psi, cooking food up to 70% faster while causing wood chips to release their fragrant, flavor-enhancing smoke. The internal chamber requires only three to five wood chips (not included) to impart authentic barbecue smoke flavor onto food and all of the hot smoke is contained inside the vessel until the pressure is released. An adjustable four-level rack holds up to 4 lbs. of food--from sausages and ribs to a whole chicken. The pressure smoker also cold smokes cheese or fish, it can sear food prior to pressure smoking, and allows use as a traditional pressure cooker. With a digital timer. Plugs into AC. 11 1/2" H x 13" W x 11" D. (13 lbs.)

Easy cooking
By Ruth the cook
from Davis, CA
Have cooked pork ribs and a rib eye roast in the oven. Both done perfectly and were very tasty. Easy to use and instruction book helpful. Was concerned about cleaning the racks, but come clean very easily. Good value for the money.
Surprisingly GREAT
By Bone Daddy
from Seattle, WA
I ordered this Smoker on a lark thinking it was probably a better idea than a reality. It is awesome! You can hot or cold smoke meat, cheese and vegetables. I won a chili contest when I Cold smoked the chicken before I crock potted the entire recipe. The smoke flavor of the chicken was better than a brisket that had been smoked over night.

This smoker was a gift which has my husband working on different ways to use it every day. Unbelievably fast way to cook a meal!
This product was a wonderful surprise
By Sue
from Fulton, Mo.
I bought the smoker for my husband because I thought it might work well for just the two of us. I had no idea it would be so easy and fun for him to experiment with new dishes and I can't believe you can get the great smoke taste in such short time and with such little work.

Compact, fast. The recipes are not accurate. The smoker works much faster than the recipes say.
By Sean
from Andover, MA
My indoor smoker is the best kitchen appliance I own. It smokes the food in record time and the flavor is the best I have ever made. This is the best smoker ever created. I cannot find anything wrong with this product. It is perfect.

By Alan
from Vadnais Heights, Mn. 55127
I like have the ability to get a smoke flavor in the house. This is Minnesota. In winter you don't want to go outside to smoke. Best use so far is for Chicken, Pork. I am still experimenting with different types of wood chips. Clean up is also a snap. Very easy and not time consuming.Size. I would like to be able to smoke for invited guests. I am limited. I am very happy with it. My biggest complaint is the lack of a good recipe booklet. It is very limited in what it gives. I want more recipes, information on how to adjust time when adjusting portions. What wood chips works best for what recipe etc. Right now, I have to experiment with every thing a make.Every other pressure cooker has a way to get a replacement seal. You've got a lot of nerve charging three times the normal market value for a cooker that can't be maintained.

Comments about Lady Gaga Black Sequin Dress Adult Costume:
I loved this costume except that it's made of foam. So the side pieces kept falling backwards and not outwards. Also the mask eye holes were tiny and I couldn't see through them. I had to cut them bigger myself. Overall, It's very great looking, but I wish it was made of a different material and the eye holes were bigger.
Comments about Lady Gaga Black Sequin Dress Adult Costume:
the dress came crumpled to me and so the shape it needs to be in- is lost and i cannot figure out how to reshape the dress. the mask is unwearable and i do not know what i am supposed to do!
Comments about Lady Gaga Black Sequin Dress Adult Costume:
The costume is made of foam, so it doesn't conform to you when you put it on. Also it is SO short that I had to buy Spandex to wear underneath the costume. It is very comfortable though!

The economy is better than it once was, and metro Atlanta's housing market is also on the rebound. Local realtors say the upturn in the economy has created another problem, and it's a problem for buyers. Ken Alfiero and his wife already have plans for a three-bedroom, two-bath home in Decatur, and they haven't even closed on it yet."I was going on the internet at least twice a day and was looking at everything that was coming on the market" said Alfiero.He quickly discovered that metro Atlanta is now a seller's market. Michael O'Brien of Re-Max tells FOX 5 consumer confidence is up, rates are low, and that means there's an inventory shortage.A few years ago, there were fewer buyers out there, but lots of inventory to be had because of record numbers of foreclosures. Now, O'Brien says the market has rebounded dramatically.According to local realtors, home prices are up an average of 10 percent. It's a seller's market, but buyers still have the advantage of relatively low interest rates.O'Brien says to make sure you get the home you want, you should be prepared. He suggests starting the pre-qualification process before you look. That means finding the right budget and sticking to it. Once you find the home you want, don't wait. Or, like the Alfieros, you could see it slip through your hands. They say that happened to them a couple of times. If you're a seller, you are in the driver's seat. O'Brien advises, though, that you get and keep your home in good condition, and price it right. In this market, he says, you should have no problem selling it.

A registered sex offender has been charged with first degree murder after confessing to killing a man found in a makeshift grave beside a home in Port Charlotte.
The caretaker of a 74-year-old Port Charlotte man reported to CCSO Saturday morning that she was concerned for the well-being of the man. After speaking to an ex-boyfriend, 47-year-old Juan Reyes, the woman was led to believe the man could have been the victim of some kind of violence.
Detectives say Reyes lived at the home with the elderly man and his
caretaker. The caretaker had been out of town for several days and
returned home on Saturday.
CCSO Major Crimes Unit detectives received a signed search warrant for
the man's home just after 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. According to
detectives, they found a makeshift gravesite at the home.
The gravesite was found in the side yard, between the garage and property line. They say it consisted of freshly raked soil covered with branches covering it. Further investigation revealed human remains found inside.
"We believe we have found a grave site here on this
property. Our MCU detectives, Forensics and Crime Scene personnel remain
on scene conducting their investigation which will take time. We
believe this is an isolated and not a random incident in this
neighborhood," said Captain Bill Prummell on Saturday evening.
Reyes, a registered sex offender, was located and taken in for questioning. CCSO says he confessed to killing the man found in the makeshift grave. Although the victim has not been identified, it is believed to be the 74-year-old man.
The body of the victim was removed from the grave and transported to the Charlotte County Medical Examiner's Office for identification. An autopsy has been scheduled for Monday.

New paper: The importance of species-rich communities
In our paper published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, we suggest that species-rich communities sustain ecosystem services in the event of human-led disturbances.
Whilst species-rich dung beetle communities did not perform better than species-poor communities in the short term in the absence of disturbance, when the system was disturbed (by the anthelmintic, ivermectin), only species-rich communities sustained the ecosystem service of dung decomposition. However, in the long term, species-rich communities out-performed species-poor communities irrespective of disturbance.
Please contact me if you would like to receive a pdf copy of the paper.
The abstract is available by following this link to the article:
Beynon, S. A., Mann, D. J., Slade, E. M., Lewis, O. T. (2012) Species-rich dung beetle communities buffer ecosystem services in perturbed agro-ecosystems. Journal of Applied Ecology, DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2664.2012.02210.x

Hippo goes stateside!
'Hippo: Nature's Wild Feast' has been re-jigged by Animal Planet and was released yesterday as 'Eating Giants: Hippo'. Lots more insect footage than on the C4 version, including me venturing into the carcass to search for hide beetles and histerid beetles. Due to the possible threat of Anthrax, I had to don a plastic boiler suit...pretty hot in 50°C midday heat!
Great reviews in the US, including the New York Times and Daily News. Glad the insects get a mention in the New York Times! You can see the show (or clips from it) on the Animal Planet website.

New paper suggests alternative products may impact non-target wildlife!
I have just had a paper published in the journal Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment. The paper investigates the non-target environmental impacts of alternative products for livestock parasite control including Bug A Tub lick (<5 % diatomaceous earth, a mix of undisclosed plant oils and nutritional supplements), a homeopathic product, a copper bolus and the conventional anthelmintic ivermectin.
This is the first published research to look at non-target impacts of alternative products and suggests that Bug A Tub and perhaps the copper bolus can impact the dung decomposer community. However, no impact on dung removal was associated with any alternative products. Ivermectin however, severley retarded dung removal as well as having a negative impact on dung-associated insects.
As alternative products are not licenced as veterinary medicines they require no efficacy or environmental safety testing. Our results highlight the needs for tests on the environmental safety of alternative products.
Please contact me if you would like to receive a pdf copy of the paper. The abstract is available by following this link to the article:
