Extrasolar planets: Window on a watery world
Nature 513, 7519 (2014). doi:10.1038/513493a
Authors: Eliza M. R. Kempton
The first definitive signs of water have been seen in the atmosphere of a Neptune-sized exoplanet, paving the way towards the search for water on smaller Earth-like planets. See Letter p.526
While scanning the sky to measure the positions and movements of stars in our Galaxy, Gaia has discovered its first stellar explosion in another galaxy far, far away.
This powerful event, now named Gaia14aaa, took place in a distant galaxy some 500 million light-years away, and was revealed via a sudden rise in the galaxy's brightness between two Gaia observations separated by one month.
Gaia, which began its scientific work on 25 July, repeatedly scans the entire sky, so that each of the roughly one billion stars in the final catalogue will be examined an average of 70 times over the next five years.
"This kind of repeated survey comes in handy for studying the changeable nature of the sky," comments Simon Hodgkin from the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, UK.
Many astronomical sources are variable: some exhibit a regular pattern, with a periodically rising and declining brightness, while others may undergo sudden and dramatic changes.
Light curve
"As Gaia goes back to each patch of the sky over and over, we have a chance to spot thousands of 'guest stars' on the celestial tapestry," notes Dr Hodgkin. "These transient sources can be signposts to some of the most powerful phenomena in the Universe, like this supernova."
Dr Hodgkin is part of Gaia's Science Alert Team, which includes astronomers from the Universities of Cambridge, UK, and Warsaw, Poland, who are combing through the scans in search of unexpected changes.
It did not take long until they found the first 'anomaly' in the form of a sudden spike in the light coming from a distant galaxy, detected on 30 August. The same galaxy appeared much dimmer when Gaia first looked at it just a month before.
"We immediately thought it might be a supernova, but needed more clues to back up our claim," explains Łukasz Wyrzykowski from the Warsaw University Astronomical Observatory, Poland.
Other powerful cosmic events may resemble a supernova in a distant galaxy, such as outbursts caused by the mass-devouring supermassive black hole at the galaxy centre.
Supernova Gaia14aaa and its host galaxy
However, in Gaia14aaa, the position of the bright spot of light was slightly offset from the galaxy's core, suggesting that it was unlikely to be related to a central black hole.
So, the astronomers looked for more information in the light of this new source. Besides recording the position and brightness of stars and galaxies, Gaia also splits their light to create a spectrum. In fact, Gaia uses two prisms spanning red and blue wavelength regions to produce a low-resolution spectrum that allows astronomers to seek signatures of the various chemical elements present in the source of that light.
Read the full story on Gaia's first supernova discovery on the ESA Portal.
Astronomers have found an unlikely object in an improbable place: a monster black hole lurking inside one of the tiniest galaxies known. The dwarf galaxy containing the black hole is the densest galaxy ever seen, cramming 140 million stars within a diameter of about 300 light-years (just 1/500th of our Milky Way galaxy's diameter). However, the black hole inside the galaxy is five times the mass of the black hole at the center of our Milky Way. This suggests that the dwarf galaxy may actually be the stripped remnant of a larger galaxy that was torn apart during a close encounter with a more massive galaxy. The finding implies that there are many other compact galaxies in the universe that contain supermassive black holes.

A supermassive black hole in an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy
Nature 513, 7518 (2014). doi:10.1038/nature13762
Authors: Anil C. Seth, Remco van den Bosch, Steffen Mieske, Holger Baumgardt, Mark den Brok, Jay Strader, Nadine Neumayer, Igor Chilingarian, Michael Hilker, Richard McDermid, Lee Spitler, Jean Brodie, Matthias J. Frank & Jonelle L. Walsh
Ultra-compact dwarf galaxies are among the densest stellar systems in the Universe. These systems have masses of up to 2 × 108 solar masses, but half-light radii of just 3–50 parsecs. Dynamical mass estimates show that many such dwarfs are more massive than expected from their luminosity. It remains unclear whether these high dynamical mass estimates arise because of the presence of supermassive black holes or result from a non-standard stellar initial mass function that causes the average stellar mass to be higher than expected. Here we report adaptive optics kinematic data of the ultra-compact dwarf galaxy M60-UCD1 that show a central velocity dispersion peak exceeding 100 kilometres per second and modest rotation. Dynamical modelling of these data reveals the presence of a supermassive black hole with a mass of 2.1 × 107 solar masses. This is 15 per cent of the object's total mass. The high black hole mass and mass fraction suggest that M60-UCD1 is the stripped nucleus of a galaxy. Our analysis also shows that M60-UCD1's stellar mass is consistent with its luminosity, implying a large population of previously unrecognized supermassive black holes in other ultra-compact dwarf galaxies.

It is hard to imagine now, and the younger people in the field will not remember this, but there was a period when the search for exoplanets had rather a bad reputation, based on a number of high-profile claims that were subsequently disproved. Although there

A little about me...
I am a retired college chemistry professor and have been a widower for over 4 years. I still do college teaching on a part-time basis (3 days a week) because doing it keeps my brain active. The interactions with college-age people has me always feeling young. I plan on doing this as long as I continue to be healthy enough or when the school tires of me. I thoroughly enjoy it. I enjoy walking and bowling. I workout at the Y on a regular basis; in fact, I joined a 3-day-a-week aqua zumba class. It is quite a workout! I also play on a senior (>60) softball team during the summer which was a great thing to do because I have met so many new people. I am easy going and seem to get along well with others. I have two dogs at home and love them both. Just to clear the air, one of my daughters, her son, and the boy's father live with me. She does all the cooking for me.
About the one I'm looking for...
I want someone who is somewhat assertive to share things with me. Someone who is her own person and not a church mouse. I am tired of going it alone.
I'd just like to add...
I enjoy eating out, reading (especially fiction), and going to movies. My two favorite composers are Cole Porter and George Gershwin. I am not a golfer or skier; but in my youth, I did quite a bit of sailing. I must admit I would be willing to try new things.

THE VOLUNTEER RETURNS! Returning Dramatic Need volunteer Sara Jackson reports on some of her time in Rwanda:
On arrival at Kigali International Airport, I was picked up by two young men and whisked off in a car to a small village about an hour away called Rwamagama. This is where I was teaching for the month. Rwamagama clearly had very few western visitors because as soon as I arrived people were staring at me openly, which at first I found quite intimidating… until a group of children ran over to the car, stared at me for a while and then worked up the courage to say "Good Morning". When I said good morning back they laughed and ran away. This happened a lot throughout I my stay, and became a very amusing figure for them.
I had a day to settle in to my new home and then the next day had my first day of school. On first seeing the school I was shocked by how little was there. It was nothing like the schools in England. The classrooms were very bare with wooden desks and a blackboard. I cleared all the desks out of my classroom and then was introduced to my class. It was the school holidays so I had a group of 15 children in a specially arranged 'holiday club'.
As soon as I began to speak with the children I threw out my workshop play as always. The children had no experience of drama at all, they didn't even know what it was. So in the first week we went back to basics. We learned what an actor was, an audience, rehearsals and the stage. Then we moved on to using words on stage and at this point I realised that the workshops would become more about self-confidence and speaking out loud in English than just acting skills. So I started using games that encouraged the children to speak short sentences in English in front of each other.
They loved singing and dancing so I taught them some songs and a line dance, and with this we also played fun games which I am informed they are still playing in the playground now.
The day before I left disaster struck, heavy rain washed the roof off the school. So on my last day I taught in a room with no roof and spent the afternoon collecting the roof from a neighbour's garden. The children never complain, even when they were hoisting heavy lumps of wood and metal onto there heads and carrying them along a long path back to school. I kept thinking about what would happen in the UK if the same accident had occurred. I'm sure that the children would not have been sent to do the work, fairly sure they wouldn't be allowed anywhere near the site…
I have learned so much about how we treat out children in the UK and how lucky we all are. And, I hope, I have done something to help the children in Rwamagama speak a little more confidently too.
Now all I need to do is find a way to help them build a new school roof!

I'd imagine the eShop speed is more about better WiFi hardware (regular and XL use 802.11g, whereas the N3DSs are 802.11n?), allowing faster download of data and greater range from the router.
With Smash, that's down to RAM mainly. In a regular 3DS or XL, the OS is being swapped with one from the game itself that does less but doesn't require as much (hence why you see when exiting that it looks like it has to reboot itself) so the game can use up as much of the 128MB of RAM the system has. With the N3DS and its 256MB of RAM, the system's OS doesn't require swapping, so that time for swapping is completely cut.
Whatever the case may be, I'm likely not going to get an N3DS mainly because of next-gen not being far off. It will be 4 years come February for Japan (March for all other major regions), so it's possible in about 2 years, the next-gen handheld will be out, which has all the N3DS has, plus actual next-gen stuff. Already made one upgrade this gen (from 3DS to XL), and this is the first time I have ever done so with so many revisions done with past Nintendo consoles/handhelds.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Network Printer Installation Troubles
I have a network printer connected to my network, it is a Lexmark x4850. To make changes to this printer's settings (ip addressing, etc...) it has to be installed on a local machine first, in this case it is installed on my home server (running Windows Server 2008). I just recently did a clean install on my server since I upgraded to Windows Server 2008. The install on the server went perfectly, and I assigned the printer a static address of 10.10.23.4.
I then went on my laptop and tried to add the printer as a network printer. It does not find the printer, so I select "The printer that I want isn't listed" and then I go to the "Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname" option and type in 10.10.23.4 in the "Hostname or IP address" field and click next. After going through a few steps involving drivers it gets to the loading bar and after a few seconds it says "Installing printer drivers..." and there it remains until I force it to close because it stops responding.
For some reason it will not let me install the printer as a network printer, however if I share the printer off of the server and add it that way it installs properly, but I need to have it as non-shared network printer (school project). I'm a first time poster and I hope I got everything that is required, if I didn't please feel free to ask!
I appreciate any help!

The Offbeat Bride: Crystal, Office Manager
Her offbeat partner: Denny, Assistant Manager
Date and location of wedding: The Hard Rock Cafe, Seattle, Washington — November 23, 2012
Our offbeat wedding at a glance: Denny and I come from vastly different backgrounds. Despite those perceived differences, we are a lot alike: hard working, loyal, determined, fun, creative, open-minded, musically and artistically inclined, with a complete love for animals and respect for equality. We decided to go with a musical theme, as that is something that brought us together and keeps us together in good times and bad. So, The Hard Rock Cafe seemed like the perfect spot.
From there, we narrowed the theme to rockabilly. We both love that genre of music and style. We scaled down on decor and emphasized our respect and admiration for Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash. We wanted festive colors, so red and turquoise were perfect.
Tell us about the ceremony: We didn't want a super religious ceremony. To start off, my dad walked me down the aisle with The Cult's "Wild Flower" playing — a song he picked out. Then the ceremony began with my dad reading a quote from Dr. Seuss (it was featured on the wedding invitation). Next, the bridal party read excerpts from "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" Then Denny and I did readings. We wrote our own vows. Our friend read Taylor Mali's "Falling in Love Is Like Owning A Dog." Finally, my dad closed with an Irish wedding blessing.
Our biggest challenge: About a week and a half before the wedding, our beloved blue merle Australian Shepherd passed away suddenly and tragically. It was devastating. We still had not planned the ceremony, so our whole ceremony became dog themed. We read two dog poems to honor our baby, Jack Angelo. They were "The Loss of a Heart Dog" and "The Rainbow Bridge." We also had a continuous slideshow of our dogs. Our dear friend read a poem entitled "Falling in Love is Like Owning A Dog." It turned out well.
My favorite moment: The best moment was when we were finally married and we walked down the aisle and hid from everyone. I cried and he held me so tightly. That was the best… just melting into his arms. After the ceremony, we went to Seattle Great Wheel to enjoy the views of our city. We also took the family and bridal party to an awesome '50s diner for dinner.
My funniest moment: Definitely my dad. He was ridiculous. He was our officiant and made such a difference. I think the consensus is that his humor, constant carriage of a Jack Daniels, and loud nature brought everyone to life. My Dad took the honor of creating our wedding playlist. We told him it had to be Rockabilly and he did a fantastic job; however, some of the song orders were messed up. So after he pronounced us husband and wife, he planned for a song (not sure which) to play, but what ended up playing was "(Hey Baby) Que Paso" by The Texas Tornadoes. We all cracked up. It was perfect.
Was there anything you were sure was going to be a total disaster that unexpectedly turned out great? Since we lost our dog, we weren't very focused on the wedding. We threw the ceremony together the night before and I was nervous because we didn't practice. There were a few awkward moments, but the emotions, the readings, and the love during the ceremony was priceless and perfect.
My advice for Offbeat Brides: It's totally ok to go through a million different ideas and themes. I suggest finding something that brings both of you together and narrowing it down. We had key pieces that were totally authentic to us (Denny's robot cufflinks and my awesome shoes).
I can't express how happy I was that we came up with a ceremony that was indicative of who we are. That was a very tough challenge. Do your research ahead of time, discuss, personalize, and let it roll.
Care to share a few vendor/shopping links?
- Photographer: Rebecca Erickson
- Etsy. Seriously. The whole thing was planned on Etsy. If I found a piece that I really connected with, but wasn't the right color or whatever, I talked with the vendor and they customized everything for me. I didn't have time to navigate through the craziness of Seattle to find the right things. But, Etsy was perfect. Made me happy to help people with their Etsy shops.
Enough talk — show me the wedding porn!

Continuing its gnarly video series of team riders shredding it up from the streets of Midwest America to the toughest mountain terrain in Canada, snowboarding brand Burton offers its latest Snow Porn installment titled "Bralorne Ultra Steeps." Although traveling from opposite sides of the globe, riders Stephan Maurer and Kazu Kokubo met up in Bralorne, British Columbia to ride some of Canada's finest lines. The team has been spending a lot of time in the BC mountain range the last couple of seasons, so there will likely be more porn footage coming from this beautiful region down the slope of time.

Experimental Space
An Exhibition of Evidence in Collaboration with BAASICS
Featuring an Essay by Laura Cassidy Rogers
3 October - 8 November, 2014
In their search for evidence of theories that better explain our physical reality, scientists often discover unexpected and beautiful phenomena. The researchers who created the images and videos included in "Experimental Space" did not have an art gallery in mind while they worked. Nevertheless, the images, figures, and data on view are aesthetically compelling and seductive. Through this exhibition, Aggregate Space Gallery and BAASICS bring scientific images and perspectives from the laboratory and the academic journal to the realm of art, where subjectivity trumps objectivity and ambiguity is more celebrated than demystification.
Featuring Evidence by: Erin Jarvis Alberstat, PhD candidate; Roger Anguera, Multimedia Engineer; Daniel J. Cohen, PhD; Sara M. Freeman, PhD; Luke Gilbert, PhD; Angela Kaczmarczyk, PhD candidate; Arnaud Martin, PhD; Brian Null, PhD, and Dr. Peter D. Roopnarine, PhD.BAASICS

Genre: Romantic Suspense
Action-packed, thrilling HORIZONS is an exhilarating tale of courage, ingenuity and survival. With this novel as her launching pad, the talented Ms. Hart makes a spectacular jump into contemporary fiction.
For Kelly Kennedy and the other survivors, it was a brief and horrible trip through hell. During their trip back to the States from New Zealand, a ferocious storm developed, their plane was struck by lightning and it careened towards earth. Miraculously, the pilot found a small island and made a landing attempt. When it was all over, only a lucky few were left alive.
Zach Goldstein knows unless they find fresh water soon, the nine survivors are doomed. The odd group-four men, four women and a two-year-old girl-includes a famous Hispanic singer, a pregnant mother, a U.S. Corporal, an elderly lady, an airline steward and Earl Roberts, an admitted wife-killer who makes no bones about his crime. But to survive until the rescuers find them, they must all pitch in and adapt.
To their sadness and horror, their group continues to diminish in size. The tiny island, now uninhabited, was once held by Japanese solders who left behind deadly booby traps. A dangerous power struggle begins when Earl finds an old pistol and tries to sabotage their rescue efforts. They fight not only the elements to survive, but each other as well.

Letter From Alex Lyrics - Teitur
The end of February,
a garbage truck
is backing up outside my window.
Four years ago
my father died,
that's more than a thousand days.
Emily is across from me,
her head cocked like a curious dog.
She's muttering lines from an upcoming show,
broken into jazz standards.
Something about "Baby leaving"
and "Never coming back."
Where are you
in the winter
when I need some camaraderie?
I'm disappointed
sponsored linksabout my job.
It's definitely not what I envisioned.
Emily is staring out the window,
the three armed lamp is out one bulb.
I hear you are travelling around towns I can't pronounce.
You know, I used to live in them!
Now I must get some rest.
All the good symptoms of art will always bring some restlessness.
In the februaries of my late twenties and, I suppose, my thirties.

Watch The Jamal Crawford Documentary "J.Crossover"
At one point in Ballislife's excellent documentary on Jamal Crawford, the two-time Sixth Man of the Year says of playing basketball over football and baseball: "I was doing reverse cradle layups when I was eight, nine years old, so I was like 'OK, this can work.'" And work it did. The Ballislife crew spent most of the summer at the Seattle Pro-Am grabbing footage and interviews for the doc, and if you're anywhere near as big a fan of Crawford as we are, you're going to want to check it out.

Wherever your travels take you the Olympus SP-820UZ is the ideal camera for all your photography needs. With a staggering 40x optical zoom you can get incredibly close to your subjects, while the 22.4mm - 896mm ultra wide-angle lens lets you capture breathtaking panoramas and group shots. And thanks to Olympus iHS technologies, you'll be able to capture Full HD Video in 1080p, spectacular low light images and fast action subjects.
"For people who want expressive, excellent-quality close-ups on the go, the Olympus SP-820UZ has a superb optical zoom lens that takes the SP Series' traditional zoom power to a whole new level. For the first time you can magnify subjects up to 40x for the sort of detail, dynamism and emotion you'd only normally expect from
an interchangeable telephoto lens. Given that its rivals can manage only 24mm*, the 22.4mm** super wide-angle lens on the SP-820UZ offers outstanding wide-angle flexibility with broad landscapes, interiors or crowds. The rest of the spec is equally impressive. Full HD and high-speed, adjustable-frame rate movie recording combines with Olympus iHS technologies that include a high-sensitivity CMOS sensor, TruePic V image processor – and an array of advanced features. The result? Fast reaction times, radiant colours, plus beautifully sharp images of fast-moving subjects and low-light, backlit scenes. Time after time, wherever you are, however light you want to travel. The SP-820UZ has an ergonomic comfort grip and the professional looks of a top-of-the-range camera. *35mm equivalent"

Levi's Made & Crafted SS14 Pitti Preview
Although coming across new brands and getting in touch with the latest developments is definitely exciting, the warm, welcoming feeling of reuniting with an old time classic is special in its own way. For me, no matter how many alternatives fill the market, Levi's will forever remain the ultimate choice for time-tested, long-lasting denim. Its premium Made & Crafted line is a reminder that the iconic label is not only here to stay, but also dealing cards when it comes to delivering refreshing and updated takes on classics.

I was gonna get the two virtual console games anyway, so yay for me!!
Goodness. The Pokemon Company offers you two beloved Pokemon spinoff games, and how do you react? Stop acting so entitled. I for one am super happy we get these on the eShop, as they are both two of my childhood games.
DON'T BUY THESE! I already bought a controller like this one about a year ago, and it broke only after a few matches of Smash. Only buy first party controllers!
That's a big thing to say it's a waste of time. I appreciate what they're doing here. Making sure everyone who owns a Wii U, no matter which model, will be able to play the game. I salute 'em for that.
I REALLY want this to come to NA. This was one of the games I owned as a kid, but sadly don't own it anymore. Please, Nintendo!
Is there any way to change or completely turn off the music? It seems like it would get annoying.
I'm surprised by how many people aren't getting the game because of the lack of 3D support. Sure, it's darn disappointing, but it's not like I buy games for their 3D capabilities. I'm sure this will be a fine game with or without 3D.
I just hope this won't be a trend for future 3DS games.
This game's "sex appeal" certainly isn't doing it any favors for me. Bayonetta might have been appealing to me but the fact that she dances around like a moron and does it with a big stupid grin on her face just makes it a big turn off for me. Still, I play games for the gameplay, so I'll be picking this one up.
Why are some people saying this is a terrible week? THE NEW THEATRHYTHM GAME CAME OUT! I've already been playing it and it's super awesome.
The worst Mario Kart game in my opinion
The rubber banding is just way too blatantly obvious. Controls are hard to get used to. Graphics are rubbish, even compared to games of that generation. Tied with Double Dash for the least amount of tracks. Track design isn't awful, but isn't very good in my opinion.
I actually really like this game...
I'd give it either a 7 or 8.
@ChocolateStorm , would you please stay on topic and not post random videos of you playing Smash Bros?
I would like to try this out for myself
It always seems like just when the video is about to get to a more interesting part of the level, it cuts to another track ah well.
I TOTALLY saw this coming. The Circle Pad isn't as durable as standard analog sticks on normal controllers.
A huge thank you to TheLobster for offering me a code. Even though I achieved Platinum Status, I didn't opt in for notifications. Darn!!
The demo is awesome by the way. It doesn't have very many options but it's still super fun.
Sorry for begging but smash bros is the best!
firstname.lastname@example.com pleeaase!!
vote for pedro
It's waiting for codes time, c'mon grab your friends, wait for many long hours...
I am waiting, they're all waiting the bore will never end, it's waiting time!
- email@example.com
ring ting ting ting , ting ding ding ding beep beep boop PICK UP YO TELEPHONE BECAUSE YOU HERE YO RING TONE. - email@example.com
haha looks like fun
If only I had someone to play with...
@TheLobster THANK YOU LOBSTER!!! AAAAAAH
NA. You know the rest. lol.
If anyone is still willing to share any NA download codes, my email is email@example.com. Thank you!
@TheLobster Congratulations!
...Now how about sharing some of them?
oh... nm :/
Aaaaand Club Nintendo is officially down for maintenance.
I entered the code, it took me to the download page, I clicked download, and THEN it told me the code was already used. SHOOOOT
@SuperMalleo begging ;P
By the way, is Nintendo still emailing codes to people? THERE STILL MIGHT BE HOPE!
Remember people, it only for SOME of the Platinum members. Meaning not everyone will get them.
@LtAldoRaine I don't think so, since people can use codes sent to them by other people from different club nintendo accounts.
And what in the world is going on right now? When I sign into Club Nintendo, it says I have 0 coins and 0 surveys to fill out. It's like my whole account has been wiped
That may be due to high traffic though, so I'm hoping I won't have to start from scratch 0_o
I hate to ask... but may I have a code?
If you're feeling generous, my email is email@example.com
Oh my goodness. I had no idea there was online multiplayer!
As the first game is my favorite rhythm game of all time, I'm looking forward to the second game. Release date can't come soon enough!!!!
Theatrhythm Curtain Call (Huge YES)
also Street Fighter 2010. Played that game after watching the AVGN episode about it and fell in love with it
I thought this was from Big Red Button or whatever that studio was called??
I never knew the Pokemon TCG was available in Europe! I love that game! I hope it comes to NA...
Just so people know, I haven't heard good things about battle chip challenge...
I haven't tried it either though, so I guess I'll get it
Hearing about all these glitches and technical issues makes me feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have a problem with this update
Everything's working fine for me, and I'm fully embracing this update. It's all fun!
@SecondServing Games aren't just good or bad. They're a different experience to everyone.
FINALLY. Something that isn't just showing kids doing kiddy things. Nintendo seriously needs to step away from its "kiddie" commercials. They have a bad enough time as it is trying to explain that they cater to everyone and not just children.
and two-dee-ess
If I buy Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Wii U Virtual Console (because I have a discount from the original Wii VC), would I get a discount for buying it on the 3DS VC? Because after all, the two accounts are linked now.
So... does this mean they're going to only release in Japan for more titles, or just make them more niche, but still releasing them globally? I'm a bit confused.
Wow, all of these are included in the cartridge? That's a ton!
All I need is a release date... I just need a release date!! XD

Business Process as a Service (BPaaS)
Gartner defines business process as a service (BPaaS) as the delivery of business process outsourcing (BPO) services that are sourced from the cloud and constructed for multitenancy. Services are often automated, and where human process actors are required, there is no overtly dedicated labor pool per client. The pricing models are consumption-based or subscription-based commercial terms. As a cloud service, the BPaaS model is accessed via Internet-based technologies.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
29 Aug
We went over to Palm Harbor for dinner tonight at the New England's Ale House Grille. We almost didn't even bother going in since their main parking is by valet. I'm just one of those people who doesn't like handing my keys over to a stranger. We did manage to grab the last spot in the lot next door and walk over. They didn't have any seating available inside, so we found a table out on the porch, where unfortunately they allow smoking. The first thing Loren noticed was that the main board on the railing around the porch in front of us was warped. He looked at me and said, "Wouldn't you have just spent the extra money to replace it with a straight board?". I only mention this because that lack of detail was evident in our entire experience here.
We ordered a bowl of clam chowder to split between us.
Our waitress brought out 1 spoon and then asked us if we wanted another one. Umm, yeah. I can only assume that she had to walk to the furthest part of the kitchen and wash the spoon herself given how long it took her to bring one back to the table. It became very apparent throughout the meal that she hasn't been a waitress for long. As for the chowder, it was underseasoned and the potatoes were unevenly cooked. It didn't have a lot of clams in it and the ones that were in it were on the chewy side. It was very creamy, but one note. The only saving grace was the little bit of bacon on top. Next up were the salads.
It was a mixed green salad, which I'm not fond of. I'm an iceberg lettuce kind of gal. Loren likes the greens; I think they're just yard weeds. At this point, the waiting began for our entree. Loren asked for some more ice for his tea and again, I can only assume that the waitress had to go to the far corner of the restaurant to get it. I also observed the other tables around us with empty glasses. One guy had asked the waitress for ketchup, but eventually gave up and asked another table if he could borrow theirs. About 5 minutes later the waitress showed up with the ketchup.
Then our entrees finally arrived. Loren ordered the crab cakes with brussel sprouts and mac & cheese.
He said the crab cakes were ok, but again like everything else, lacked seasoning. The brussel sprouts were unevenly cooked so only half were edible. The mac & cheese was pretty good. I ordered the whole belly clams with red potatoes and mac & cheese.
As you can see from the photo, there are brussel sprouts on my plate. I informed the lady that brought our food that I had not ordered brussel sprouts. She went back to the kitchen and I never saw her again. Our waitress came to the table and I told her that I ordered red potatoes and she went back to the kitchen. Eventually, she came back out and apologized and said it was her fault, and would I like to have the potatoes? Seriously? All this time and you still haven't brought me my potatoes?? I told her yes and about half way through the meal, I finally got the unevenly cooked red potatoes.
Now, as for my clams… sigh, they were not properly prepared and were watery. Definitely needed seasoning as much as everything else on the plate. There was also one big chunk of smooshed together clams that I just left on the plate. The menu also said there should be dinner rolls, but that never happened either. At this point, we just wanted to get out of there. Now, here's the kicker. This was an overpriced $61 meal and they charged me 25 cents for water! Now the bill said "water with lemon", which I didn't specifically ask for lemon because I just remove it anyway, but I have never in my life been charged for water. I will be surprised if this place survives. Everything from the poor service to the unevenly, under-seasoned food to the fact that they are so cheap as to charge for water solidified the fact that we'll never be back.

A friend and I were heading to a movie and stopped at First Watch for breakfast. Luckily, we got there before the big Sunday crowd showed up. We both ordered skillets.
I got mine with avocado and over easy eggs. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and the fruit on the side was fresh. It was fresh and perfectly cooked. That's one of the things I really like about this restaurant. Everything from the decor to the food is light and fresh. It just has an overall different feel from so many of the other chain breakfast restaurants. Something as simple as leaving a pitcher of water and coffee on the table makes it so much more convenient for both the waitress and us. Total bill was $9.

We tried going to BurgerMonger last week but couldn't find a parking space. This location on Enterprise Road is notorious for not having enough parking for all of the businesses in the little shopping center. I think this space has turned over at least 4 times that I can remember.
You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. It's set up and looks a lot like Five Guys with the open kitchen. The food came out fast and was surprisingly very tasty.
You just never know what to expect from these quasi-fast food restaurants. Their claim to fame is the Akaushi Kobe beef that they use in their burgers. It was a tasty burger. They cook them well done unless you ask otherwise, which we both wanted medium and they were cooked a perfect medium. Loren added bacon, cheese & a garlic sauce that he really liked. I went with mushrooms, onions & cheese. We also got the 1/2 lb of fries. They actually could have been cooked a little longer. They were a bit limp and not quite crispy enough.
What this place has over some of the others is a strawberry butter cake.
This was awesome. It had two big scoops of Hagen Daaz vanilla ice cream, sweetened strawberries and a tasty butter cake. Worth every penny and calorie. Total bill with a drink was $27.

We went over to Zerillo's Italian Grill for lunch today. The restaurant was pretty empty for lunchtime. We haven't been here for quite a while since our last experience wasn't that great. We started off with some garlic rolls.
I think these were the best part of the meal. They were fresh out of the oven, soft and warm and very garlicy. Good stuff. The tomato sauce had a nice flavor to it as well. For his lunch, Loren ordered the chicken parmesan which came with a stuffed shell and I ordered the chicken marsala which came with pasta.
I should have reread my last blog post about this restaurant before I ordered. The waitress asked what kind of pasta I wanted and I said fettucine alfredo and just like last time, she never indicated that there was a $4 upcharge for it. Either tell me what kind of pasta comes with the dish or let me know it costs more for what I ask for. Other than that, though, both dishes were pretty good. The chicken was tender and the sauces both had a good flavor. There was a lot of food and we both had leftovers. At one point Loren attempted to use the salt shaker only to discover the salt was one big clump inside the shaker. Total bill with a drink was $27.

We were in Largo this afternoon and stopped at Culver's for lunch. It's a burger chain popular in Wisconsin and the midwest. You order at the counter and then they bring the food out to you. Loren decided to be different and got a prime rib sandwich with onion rings and I got the mushroom burger with their famous cheese curds.
For a while there, we weren't sure if we were going to get our food. It was ridiculously slow coming out of the kitchen and quite honestly, not worth the wait. The burger was overly salted and the cheese curds tasted no different than cheese sticks you get at any chain restaurant. Maybe they're better if they're fresh out of the fryer, but these weren't all that warm. Loren said the prime rib was ok. Nothing to make us want to come back here.
We figured we might as well try the frozen custard since it wasn't likely we'd be back.
It's a good thing we didn't need to be anywhere this afternoon because it took even longer for these to come out than it did our burgers. No wonder it's so hard to find a table in the restaurant, everyone's just sitting there waiting. As for the custard, they were very good. Thick, rich, and creamy with good flavor and texture. You can mix in a bunch of different toppings. Loren got vanilla with caramel and brownies and I got the chocolate with hot fudge and Oreos. Total bill with a drink was $24. The food is average, the custard very good, but they need to work out the timing of getting the food to the tables. The wait was just way too long for fast food.

ReaxFF potentials for nickel/iron/aluminum/oxygen/sulfur (Ni/Fe/Al/O/S) interactions have been developed and validated against first-principles energetics information based on QM calculations.
Developed ReaxFF potentials for iron-nickel-aluminum (Fe-Ni-Al) alloy systems were shown to be reliable to the scale of three kilocalories per mole (kcal/mol) for heat of formation and 20 percent of elastic properties.
A short series of ReaxFF-based MD simulations demon-strate the feasibility of the method towards predicting the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the alloy systems.
Successful implementation of MD/MC hybrid scheme to the ReaxFF method enables a direct comparison with experiment on segregation in iron-aluminum (Fe-Al) surfaces in a temperature range from 400 °C to 1000 °C.
ReaxFF potential for Cr, Cr/O, and Cr/S have been tested to reproduce QM-binding energies for low-energy sites within 3 kcal/mol.
