- Fantastic food great serviceSteveDined on 25/10/2014We both had meat dishes my girlfriend the pork belly and me the mixed grill, all the meat was cooked to perfection. Fantastic service great night ! Thank youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dinnerladyVIPDined on 20/10/2014Aqua is a lovely place for a relaxing meal with family or friends and their set-price lunch menu offers excellent value for money. We had a delicious meal, which was surprisingly substantial considering portions on set-price menus are often on the 'stingy' side, and the service was impeccable. A very pleasant dining experience all round.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday lunchcharltonDined on 19/10/2014First time we had visited Aqua and let's just say we will definitely be returning. Good food and good service, reasonably priced.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very enjoyablemjf89VIPDined on 10/10/2014We were pleased to find that this restaurant was as good as the reviews said it would be! Lovely large table, friendly service, delicious food. Looking forward to our next visit!Special Features:
- GgOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 27/9/2014Only very minor negative was that the main course plates were taken from us whilst I was still quite obviously chewing, which is simply poor practice in anyone's opinion. Asides from this small glitch, service was attentive but not intrusive. Food was very good and a steak ordered rare was actually perfectly cooked to rare - which is all too often not done right and it ends up more medium-rare! Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor serviceDisspapointedDined on 27/9/2014It was a birthday celebration, on arrival I was accused of being late and told my table had been given away! I was in fact half an hour early, the waiter obviously confused me with someone else but didn't apologise when he realised he was wrong. We all just wanted a main course, so I suggested to the waiter we have some bread and dips while we wait for the mains to arrive. it had been a full hour since we ordered. I asked the waiter to investigate but he argued he had been waiting for us to finish our bread and dips!!! The manager finally arrived with half an apology but said the waiter had assumed we would let him know when we were ready to eat!! absolutely rubbish... I was a waitress and I have never heard anything so ridiculous.Special Features:
- Top NotchFitFoodieDined on 27/9/2014Really enjoyed our dining experience. Food was outstanding, full of flavours and cooked to perfection. Really nice decor. The only thing I would be picky on is that even though our waiter was very nice and very professional, I did feel as though he was pushing us to order our food. We like to occasionally go out for a five hour lunch, but we were in and out in two hours. Great if you are in a hurry but we did say that we weren't ready to order as we were busy chatting catching up with friends. Also we had booked and said that we needed space for a pram. Yet they played musical chairs when we arrived and it came across as though they weren't expecting us.Special Features:
- lovetoeat35Dined on 20/9/2014Nice restaurant, good ambience and professional service. Quality of food very good and well presented. Would recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- ExcellentGirl32Dined on 19/9/2014We booked a table for 9pm (as that is all that was available the day before). When we got there it was packed and we were told our table wasn't ready. However after waiting 20 minutes at the bar they gave us a fabulous table for 2 people loads of room and a free glass of champagne each for the wait. The food was amazing and there were absolutely no faults with service. I would definitely come back to here!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic birthdayHusbandDined on 16/9/2014I told them since the booking that we were celebrating a birthday and they were very helpful. Surprises, candles, etc! Very well done!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary family evening mealKitchDined on 16/9/2014We visited Aqua on recommendation of friends, for our wedding anniversary plus kids (20 and 17yrs) and were NOT disappointed. Service was very good, very friendly, food delicious and having consumed starters, mains and desserts (kids) we did try quite a selection of the menu to base our review on! I have become quite fussy about food I eat when out as I expect it to be well presented and tasty at the very least (so many places serve mediocre food which I could cook better at home) so to have enjoyed it as much says quite something about our Aqua experience. Would definitely recommend to others based on our visit for weekday dinner.Special Features:
- AQUAmickandjoanDined on 12/9/2014Nice food. The staff are friendly and are very attentive. The menu is quite varied.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A***OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/9/2014Having not eaten in many places in blackheath i was a little un sure what to expect. I had booked a table for two for dinner on a thursday night. The front of the resteraunt was very busy but we was taken up towards the back where it was a little less busy and the lights were down a little lower. I had asked for a single red rose to be placed on the table and sure enough when we arrived it was there and was recieved very well. The food was absolutely fantastic although we only had a main each as we had other places to get to i could not fault it whatsoever. I order the kleftico which was honestly one of the best i have ever been served. I would recommened this place to anyone that maybe is a little unsure !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another good eveningBlackheathBobDined on 5/9/2014We eat here regularly and find them very welcoming and consistently good. The restaurant was stifling hot but the waiter reacted well when asked to turn on the air con. The drinks were a little slow in arriving and the order was wrong but the waiters were attentive and moving too fast for the barman. My meal was a little cold but everyone else had a ball. It was very busy and we were a large party so I guess its understandable. The food is always very good and consistent. The value and service is also excellent and the manager very attentive. Still our favourite Blackheath restaurant and I would wholeheartedly recommend itSpecial Features:
- mindstoreDined on 24/8/2014Service was slow but friendly but food was very, very average and poor value for money. I would not recommend this restaurant,. There are many better ones in the area.
- good first experienceadzzDined on 23/8/2014A good first experience of aqua. The hosts were friendly, polite and informative. The food good and fairly reasonably priced. We went as a couple on a Saturday eve the place was busy but we were never left waiting. we'll definitely be going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fabulous!!H87SweenDined on 22/8/2014This was our first visit to aqua and we weren't disappointed... We had a lovely round table for six which meant we could all talk to each other rather than people being either end of a table. We had an elderly relative with us and the staff were wonderful with her. Really busy buzzing restaurant, beautifully decorated inside and the food was gorgeous. Will definitely be going back xx thank you aqua xxSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lunch 17 AugustRosemaryDined on 17/8/2014For a cheap set Sunday lunch menu at £15 for 2 courses and £17 for 3, exceptional value as I really liked all the choices. Waiter was very friendly and informative and I got the window table requested. Would definitely go again.Special Features:
- Good value venue.arthur52Dined on 15/8/2014First time eating at this venue since the closure or Bella Vista, and not disappointed. Booed for 7pm dinner on a Friday, and the place was very busy, but our orders were taken quite quickly. The starters, crab salad / portabello mushroom, were of a good standard and size. The mains, calves liver / kleftiko, were very good. Service in general was very good, and despite having an early booking on a busy Friday, we weren't hurried by the staff. The only disappointing part to the evening was a long time delay getting in the desert course served, but in light of this, the cost was deducted from the bill. Overall, however, a very nice evening, and we look forward to our next visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!FriendoffoodDined on 13/8/2014Really enjoyed the salmon dish I had and the dessert was perfect too. The a la carte menu was such good value too!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CommentsMAz123Dined on 10/8/2014Lovely newly refurbished restaurant, no criticism for this, facilities excellent, however slow service and when we had a roast lunch, we altered our order slightly and it seemed they could not cope, no carrots, extra other veg please, and gravy on the side. Oh, and the Yorkshire pud on the pork not the beef please. Simple we thought. We go three peas and a couple of beans and one floret of broccoli as the veg. We re-asked for the pudding and more green veg and got ample, so it worked out well in the end. Meat well cooked and very tasty and we ate it all. Service and staff dispositions great.Special Features:
- A lovely evening!SparkelinaDined on 9/8/2014I booked this restaurant for a pre-wedding get together for my sister and her bridesmaids (including me!) . Very nice decor, delicious well-priced food and great service made this a lovely special evening. Would definitely recommmend.Special Features:
- Perfect steakbistrokingVIPDined on 4/8/2014I ordered the fillet steak which was the best steak I had had for a long time. Often the fillet is bland and tasteless but not at Aqua - I opted to have the garnish that would accompany the sirloin but was very happy with my choice of steak. The sea bass was also very good.Special Features:
- Service charge! Why?JacksDined on 2/8/2014Food was above average, menu was great, staff were very friendly and efficient but why spoil it with a service charge? There are enough taxes in this world. Left a foul taste in my mouth!
- Not as good...MazzaDined on 31/7/2014Third time to the restaurant in 2 weeks as have had friends visiting. The first time was amazing, second time excellent yet the third time staff were less attentive. Would definitely recommend but I was expecting to be looked after just as well as the first time but this never worked outSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 26/7/2014The waiters were very attentive and friendly. They even informed us when the shifts were changing and introduced the next waiter. Everybody was happy with their food, the only criticism was that the peach in the puddings should have been warmed up or at least the option be given. On a whole was very happy with t h is restaurant. Would definitely go back there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Top restaurant with personalityTheOnlyJamieDined on 25/7/20145* service by all the staff, helps this interesting Greek/Italiaen Mediterranean restaurant stand out from the crowd. Massive choice of starters and a refreshingly different choice of mains. The food presentation was beautiful. This was out first visit and for a birthday celebration. It won't be our last.Special Features:
- Yup it was goodGreybutfitDined on 23/7/2014A relatively new Aqua in Blackheath Village that has pleasant surroundings and quite a nice atmosphere. They had a specials menu which was 2 courses for £15. I had the steak that was very good. It came with a sauce and a nice bowl of fries. All the other meals looked nice as well. I would be happy to recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- Amazing!!MazzaDined on 22/7/2014The 2nd time I've visited Aqua in a week! I went at the weekend with the girls, and the food, service and prices were amazing! I decided to take my husband and my dad who was down to visit a few days later! Again, an outstanding experience! The food is so good and the service is attentive without being in your face!Special Features:
- Saturday Night Feversandral88Dined on 19/7/2014I went to this restaurant with my partner to celebrate his birthday. It was a very busy night for the restaurant, this joint was jumping. So, something had to give, and unfortunately, it was the service. Apparently, they had a large party upstairs, so we had to wait some 40 minutes for our main course. When the food arrived we enjoyed it. The fillet steak was wonderful and my partner had rib eye and he could not fault it. Great food, shame about the service, however, towards the end of the night, the staff seemed to relax. My partner said he would go back, I on the other hand do not think I would. I think I would try another restaurant in this chain.Special Features:
- Consistently excellentDcmoDined on 19/7/2014Will always give favourable reviews as I get amazing service and food every tube I visit. It's just so lovely and the food consistently good and service is always incredibly friendly and welcoming. A real treat and my favourite restaurant in Blackheath and one of my top visits in London. Definitely worth visitingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DaisySunrayDined on 19/7/2014Scallops to start, followed by the Sirloin Steak. Waiter was a bit odd. Had to practically go and get him to take our order. First he suggested I should change my starter to something completely different that would fit in more with what my friend wanted (and wasn't on the menu), which totally embarrassed by friend and had to laugh off. Then after going so far as actually pointing at the wine on the menu (as wasn't convinced he was getting it) still turned up with completely the wrong bottle. A lady came over with the correct bottle and seemed much more 'with it', as did the head waiter there. The food was lovely. Given the service and manor I think this is more a casual place with friends, not somewhere you'd take your parents etc.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, good service.ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzDined on 19/7/2014My two criticisms, this is not about the food or service which were good. I am one of those diners who likes to leave a tip rather that be charged 12 odd percent added to my bill as a service charge and also the annoying habit of waiters/waitresses coming around pouring my wine out. I like to decide when I need another glass of wine as do other members of the party. some drink more some drink less, so credit the customer to be able to decide when they need a top up. This way the bottle goes in no time, then the annoying phrase, would you like another bottle. But having said that, this applies to many restaurants, so a common annoyance.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 19/7/2014Found this restaurant to be very friendly and courteous. The cocktails were amazing!! The food delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good As UsualNickDined on 19/7/2014Excellent food, although the mixed fish was a bit too much for my wife who found the swordfish a bit "solid". Very good service, not over powering, but respond quickly See you again..Special Features:
- Dinner with friendsOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 17/7/2014This was our first visit to Aqua and it certainly won't be our last. I have already recommended the restaurant to friends and family.Special Features:
- Fab Sunday LunchkatieambulanceVIPDined on 13/7/2014My best friend and I visited Aqua for Sunday Lunch after hearing rave reviews from other friends. I was very impressed with the lay out and decor of the restaurant, it is very smooth and well done. The service was fantastic. Our waiter saw we were planning our Amsterdam trip and gave us lots of tips which we will use. The Sunday Lunch menu is great value. I had the cypriot meatballs, roast lamb and chocolate pot for dessert all of which were top drawer. I also enjoyed a large glass of the merlot which was definitely large and very tasty. I would not hesitate to go back, infact I am already planning my next trip.Special Features:
- Good food, wine and atmosphere!shem07Dined on 12/7/2014We came here on a Saturday night with friends and was delighted at the food and style of the restaurant. We had a mixed meze to start, which was all delicious - enough for 2/3 to share and each element was tasty! Main courses followed quickly after, i had cod, my husband had a mixed grill (amazing size!) and other two had sirloin steak (one a little bloody when asked for well-done). No one could fault the food, portions were generous and everything was really flavoursome! The only faults I'd say were there wasn't much room on the table with wine and side dishes, felt a little cramped. And then they put 20% service charge on, which was pretty steep when service, although efficient was pretty lifeless and not very personal!Special Features:
- tastyLondonLillyDined on 12/7/2014lovely meal, great service and good wine, good value for money.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very NiceKawlondondDined on 10/7/2014Very good value for money specially mon-thur with their special menu. Food sas very good, good portion sizes Only down side we had drinks first and the cocktail was ok but not great

I have been banging my head against a wall trying to fix this problem. Basically we have a 2003 server using IIS and webdav to server users my docs etc stored on another server. Everything works fine in XP but when I try to use vista it believes the path is not a valid webdav folder. 2003 is fully patched as well to sp2 and i have tried a hotfix that came out for vista but it made no difference as well.
I cant see why its happening. Any ideas?

main index
An enduringly popular figure of Japanese historical legend, Sanada Yukimura was a Sengoku/early Edo Era general who reached Folk Hero status with record speed after his death. His usual appellations are "the bravest warrior in Japan" and "crimson war demon." He owes his fame mostly to his badassery during the Siege of Osaka. Yukimura's real name was Sanada Nobushige — the romantic name "Yukimura" is a later construction, and it was never used during his life. His youth was a turbulent time for the Sanada: as the second son of a highly respected samurai and tactician, Sanada Masayuki, a vassal of Takeda Shingen, he was first sent to the Uesugi as a hostage in return for military assistance, and later he was sent to serve Toyotomi Hideyoshi while the rest of the Sanada allied directly with Tokugawa Ieyasu. During the first Eastern-Western conflict Yukimura and his father sided with Ishida Mitsunari, but Ieyasu emerged victorious and Yukimura was exiled, barely avoiding execution (his older brother Nobuyuki, Ieyasu's son-in-law, interceding on his behalf). He spent the next 14 years in exile, until he received a secret message that the remaining Toyotomi allies were regrouping to rise against Ieyasu. During the first campaign of the Siege of Osaka (1614-15, also known as the Toyotomi clan's last stand) Yukimura was in charge of planning the defense of Osaka castle, which he did so well that the castle was nigh impregnable. After the two sides signed a temporary peace agreement the outer defenses of the castle were destroyed, so Yukimura saw a lot more action in the second campaign. His most famous fight was the battle of Tennouji, the last desperate effort of the Toyotomi army. When it became apparent that they weren't going to win, Yukimura reportedly said: "Well, the war is over - all that is left for us is to fight to our hearts' content. Our goal is Tokugawa Ieyasu's head!" He launched a head-on assault and managed to break through the defenses of Tokugawa Ieyasu's personal army, tore down his flag and forced Ieyasu to flee and even consider seppuku. However, the Tokugawa forces greatly outnumbered Yukimura's already tired troops, and once they got over the panic the tables were turned. Reinforcements were late, and in the end Yukimura himself was too exhausted and bleeding from too many wounds to go on - most accounts say that unable to fight any longer, he let himself be killed by the enemy soldiers. His death completely demoralized the Toyotomi forces, and by the next day the siege was over. Yukimura's bravery at Osaka earned him his enemies' respect. Tokugawa Ieyasu regarded him as the most dangerous general in the enemy camp (he even tried to get Yukimura to switch sides, to no avail), and later claimed that Yukimura was the one he most wanted to have a drink with in the afterlife. Date Masamune was likewise impressed, and after Yukimura's death he allowed his vassal clan, the Katakura, to shelter three of Yukimura's children by adopting/marrying them into the family. Shimazu Tadatsune, famous badass in his own right, gave Yukimura the epithet "bravest warrior in Japan". However, almost immediately after his death rumors began circulating about Yukimura. Many people said he only faked death to escape with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's heir so that the Toyotomi may rise once again. Other rumors said he went into hiding to prepare for revenge on the Tokugawa. Word of mouth embellished his heroics in battle, and legends were born about his death. In record time the badass but humble general Sanada Nobushige had transformed into Sanada Yukimura, model samurai, passionate and fearless warrior, loyal unto death, with a heartwrenchingly tragic fate. Unsurprisingly he was especially popular among those who opposed the Tokugawa shogunate (causing some headache to his brother Nobuyuki), but the shogunate also made a point of praising his loyalty and steadfastness. During and after the Meiji Restoration Yukimura gained a more general appeal, getting younger and younger in the process, so in less historically accurate works he's often depicted as a young man. (The real Yukimura died at 49.) Due to his historical red armor, in fictional works Yukimura normally wears red. He's usually the Red Oni if there is a Blue Oni available, is Hot-Blooded and associated with fire. He also tends to use fancy spears, historically his weapon of choice. It's common for him to be assisted by a group of fictional ninja called the Sanada Ten Braves whose most prominent members are Sarutobi Sasuke, Kirigakure Saizo and Kakei Juzou. He usually wears the Sanada clan's crest: six coins to pay for crossing the river of the underworld, which symbolizes the motto "Always ready to die for a worthy cause."

Spotsylvania NewsOctober 7th, 2011, 2:13 pm
Jeff Branscome writes about Spotsylvania County.
Statement from Hap Connors
Hap Connors, Chancellor supervisor candidate, just put out this statement:
"Tim McLaughlin, Steve Thomas and their partisan pals are giddy about receiving endorsements from Washington politicians in Congress, which has an approval rating of 14% (Washington Post, 10/5/11). By accepting these endorsements, they are promising to bring to the county the kind of nasty partisan Washington-style politics that has produced gridlock, high unemployment, market uncertainty and a lower credit rating for our nation.
"I'm proud to say that I have not been endorsed by anyone from Washington, nor have I solicited their endorsements. I am also proud to say that I have not solicited or received endorsements from any political party, making me the true Independent in this race. Washington and Congress are the LAST places I want to emulate, and today's political parties have failed us. They are more interested in promoting partisan agendas than working together to find solutions that help people. The partisan bickering in Washington has gotten so bad that they can't even agree on disaster relief for our region's earthquake victims. It's so bad that they couldn't agree on how to organize a one-car funeral.
"While McLaughlin, Thomas & Co. invest their time and energy chasing endorsements in Washington, I am investing my time and energy bringing people together to find solutions to the challenges we face. I have supported smart growth policies that have preserved battlefields and open space. (Recently, this group called smart growth initiatives "socialist" and a "U.N. conspiracy.") I have fought for budgets and policies that cut $60 million in spending during the recession and cut BPOL taxes for small business owners, while investing in great schools, public safety and transportation. We've kept taxes low (22-cents lower than Stafford) and INCREASED our credit rating. (They opposed these budgets and funding for schools, public safety and transportation.)
"By any rational measure, these are good results! That is why I'm endorsed by LOCAL people, teachers and business leaders, with whom I have worked to create jobs and build a better community. These are the people who live and work here. These are the people I am working for, and these are the endorsements that count every day."

A political thriller set in the corrupt and faceless world of international banking kicked off the Berlin film festival yesterday, with a plot which might have been lifted from current newspaper headlines.
- The International
- Production year: 2009
- Countries: Rest of the world, UK, USA
- Cert (UK): 15
- Runtime: 118 mins
- Directors: Tom Tykwer
- Cast: Armin Mueller-Stahl, Brian F O'Byrne, Clive Owen, Clive Owen, James Rebhorn, Naomi Watts, Ulrich Thomsen
The International, starring Clive Owen and Naomi Watts, delivers a damning verdict on the workings of high finance under the tagline: "They control your money. They control your government. They control your life. And everybody pays."
Amid current events, critics said the film was an appropriate choice to headline the festival, which has never shied away from political and edgy themes. But the festival chief, Dieter Kosslick, said The International was chosen for the event long before the financial crisis erupted last year. "When we decided to open the festival with Tom Tykwer's financial thriller we did not know that his fiction would soon be overtaken by reality," he said.
Like many of the films being screened this year, The International demonstrated "the brutal effects of unbridled global economic systems which bring hunger, want, war and torture", he said.
It tells the story of a Manhattan lawyer and an Interpol agent's attempts to confront a powerful bank involved in illegal activities, including arms trading and destabilising governments. The plot, which moves from Berlin to Milan, Istanbul and New York and includes gun battles in the Guggenheim museum and on rooftops in front of the Blue Mosque, was inspired by the collapse of the scandal-ridden Bank of Credit and Commerce International in the 1990s.
Owen, the British actor who plays Interpol agent Louis Salinger alongside Watts as Manhattan assistant district attorney Eleanor Whitman, said: "The big questions in the movie are: do banks use our money appropriately? Can you trust them? Are they corrupt? The questions have been hugely at the forefront in the last six months."
German director Tykwer, who rose to success in 1998 with Run, Lola Run, said: "Our aim was to draw attention to a global problem, and then before we knew it we found ourselves in the midst of an apocalyptic decline of the financial system. It now feels as if the current insanity is brought together in our film."
Other films in the 11-day festival also focus on the flaws of capitalism, including Rage, a murder mystery set in the world of New York fashion, by British director Sally Potter. "It criticises an economy that turns people into things," she said. Michael Winterbottom's The Shock Doctrine exposes how governments and business exploit poorer countries in times of crisis.

"The short and sweet of it is, Trevon is in an argument with another guy, Trevon then entered 405 S Carol Street, he comes out with a gun and fires one shot at an opponent, missing. He then runs," said Chitwood.
Officers recovered a shell casing from the scene and are seeking a warrant for Cody's arrest. They plan to charge him with aggravated assault with a firearm.
The call came in shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday, and the female who called 9-1-1 said she was trying to save her husband, Volusia County sheriff's dispatch Sgt. Corey Piser said.
Piser and Chitwood confirmed the suspect ran through another home on the block when he fled.
"Everybody ran out of the house screaming, 'Oh my God, there's a gunman inside,' " Chitwood said. "We don't know if the residents inside the house played a role or if he just ran in there."
Piser said though no one suffered any injuries and the criminal investigative division was requested.
"They're handling it as though someone would've been (shot)," Piser said.

Project Description
Air Products, in collaboration with the University of North Dakota Energy and Environmental Research Center (EERC), is testing its Sour Pressure Swing Adsorption (Sour PSA) process that separates syngas into an hydrogen-rich stream and second stream comprising of sulfur compounds(primarily hydrogen sulfide)carbon dioxide (CO2), and other impurities. The adsorbent technology testing that has been performed to date utilized syngas streams derived from higher rank coals and petcoke. Using data from experiments based on petcoke-derived syngas, replacing the conventional acid gas removal and separation process (e.g., Rectisol® or Selexol™) with Sour PSA is estimated to reduce the capital cost for CO2 capture by 20 percent. For this scoping study, Air Products will conduct experiments using a two-bed Sour PSA unit with syngas produced from the gasification of powder river basin (PRB) coal in EERC's fluidized bed gasifier. Testing syngas streams from lower rank coals is of critical importance because they contain tars, ash, and a variety of impurities that could reduce the adsorbent lifetime. Measurements of adsorbent characterization and PSA unit performance over time will be collected and analyzed. In addition to pressure swing adsorption, the adsorbent system will be operated in thermal swing adsorption (TSA) mode. The results from PSA and TSA testing will help determine if a PSA alone, or a combination of TSA and PSA, will provide a more optimized operation. The results of this testing will be used to generate a high-level pilot process design, and to prepare a techno-economic assessment to evaluate the applicability of the technology to process low rank coals, which make up such a large amount of the total domestic coal supply.

Recommendations for Maudie's?
- sweet100s Mar 2, 2008 09:44 PM
I've been searching for a place that serves Migas during weekday lunch hours for Friday trips home when I'm craving Migas (or breakfast in general) and haven't eaten since 5am if at all.
There are precious few places who serve Migas during weekday lunch hours. I think the list on my PDA is up to seven. The reason as Don Luis explained to me -- the griddle / stove must be kept at a different (lower) temperature for eggs than for everything else on their lunch menu. They can't do dual temps with only 8 feet of griddle space.
Someone recommended a local? chain called Maudie's.
I called and they do seem to have Migas (and other breakfast options) available during lunch!
I searched here and found these favorable recs:
What are your favorites at Maudies?
Here are their locations from their website:

re: The Tres Leches
Extra for rice and beans? Since when? The rice and beans come with every entree I have ever ordered.
re: amykragan
I have never had rude service after over 20 visits. Sometimes it gets busy and you have to be patient.
I wouldn't say that I love Maudie's, but I do like it somewhat. I've been to the one on So. Lamar and the one off Lake Austin Blvd. I preferred the Lake Austin one.
The thing about Maudie's is that it's an old-fashioned, slacker-ish Austin place. It's a place to go when you are just too tired to cook and want something filling and familiar, and maybe to have a margarita too. The food is never going to be excellent, but you know that going in. It's lazy Tex-Mex food, served cheaply, and I think such restaurants have a place in life--it's the kind of place you might want to go if you are with non-chowhound-y friends from work, people who don't have a lot of money to spend, and who just want to hang out with friends in a friendly, comfortable place and have a good time. I've never found the service to be rude, though, just lazy (not saying it didn't happen elsewhere, just reporting my own experience). If I experience rude service at Maudie's, it would be an easy place to cross off my list. There are too many similar places (Trudy's, and Little Mexico, Polvo's, and several others, at least to some degree) to put up with rude service.
Can't comment on Maudie's migas (but I was not a fan of their cheese enchiladas the one time I went), but I have had migas for weekday lunch at another local chain, Trudy's. The one time I had them there, they were quite tasty.
Another option for good cheap migas is the Tamale House on Airport. They are only open until 2 or 3, and there are only a couple of tables there, so it's best to plan on taking your food to go, but their migas are good and cheap and available any time.
I also like the migas at Cisco's, but don't know their weekday serving hours.
When we lived far south, we were regulars at Maudie's Hacienda. We always liked it. The service used to be great, then slacked off (the bartenders were always awesome), but this is about 2 years ago. I didn't usually indulge in their migas. I preferred the huevos borrachos.
Anyway, we moved far north, so Jardin Corona is now our sorta-local Tex-Mex joint of preference.
Serrano's offers their migas and fajitas plate at all times. If I end up with a group of people who want to eat at Serrano's, it is what I typically order. Not nearly as good as some other places, but it is one of the best options on their menu. Most of the time I would say they are "average" but a couple of times the refried beans have been extra salty and the right amount of cheddar was on the migas. At that point, I would call them "good".
I frequent the N. Lamar Maudie's location. I enjoy it's divish atmosphere, the proximity to my job and the fact that I can get breakfast all day long. My favorites for breakfat are the Pete's Tacos (country sausage, potatoes, serranos, onions, eggs and cheese) and Tatiana's Tacos (crumbled tamales, eggs and cheese). There are several of us in my office that have a thing for their Chilaquiles with the verde sauce and two friend eggs over easy. Their verde sauce has a nice tang to it. I have never tried or even seen their Migas so I can offer no advice there. I would like to add that Maudie's uses yellow American cheese in their dishes (not the Chilaquiles though). So if you don't dig that, you might not dig Maudie's.
re: missmitzi
I really only go to Maudie's when someone else suggests it. It's definitely not my favorite, but it's not offensive either. I usually get either the chalupas compuestos or the Miada's salad.
re: foodiegal71
Habanero's offers their full breakfast menu all day. Enchiladas y Mas used to do so at one time also.
Maudies is seriously the worst mexican food I've ever had. Actually, no, I had mexican in central Pennsylvania once and it might be on par with that.
I think it is an inside joke with the local mexican community-- lets see how bad we can make the gringo food before they notice.
Thanks for all your feedback!
If I end out at Maudies I won't have high expectations.
My best single-experience w/ lunchtime Migas was at Sazon. However, they are so completely inconsistent - Great one time, bad the next, that I can't recommend them, and haven't been back. And the CP I ordered instead on one visit tasted barely warm, like it had been sitting out unheated all day; very unappetizing.
re: sweet100s
I've been to three Maudie's locations.
The Lake Austin one was ok but not great.
The South Lamar location was so bad I won't order food there again if I'm somehow forced to go there. I'd rather eat first somewhere else.
The Davenport location was the best one that I've been to. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. The beef fajita enchiladas with chipotle sauce which I've gotten at all three locations was much better there. The rice and beans was nothing special though. Its not my favorite place to go for Tex Mex but it'll do. Plus my bf loves their Pura Vida margarita. They're so strong I only drink half before giving him the rest.
re: QTG
I've only been to one, at Davenport, and that was enough for me. I left half of my plate uneaten-- and I always leave a clean plate (though, I should work on that maybe...). Anyway, I was drawn in by the location, and it is amazing. The margarita was pretty great too. I'm even thinking the salsa was ok. But the food was inexcusable.
re: ChristineR
I was just pointing out that the Davenport location had the best enchilada dish of all three I've been too. Personally, I'm not that passionate about Tex Mex but my bf loves it. He usually picks the restaurant when we do have Tex Mex and I think we've all been to restaurants we'd rather not go to for the sake of our SOs. I'm just glad he no longer insists that we go to La Feria. We went there all the time when we first started dating because it was his favorite at the time. Ugh.
I've since turned him on to Sazon. We both love the conchita pibil there. But then I'm all for any pork dish when its done right.
re: QTG
I used to go to the Davenport one relatively frequently for lunch. I thought the food there was good, but not memorable, except for their tortilla soup - I really liked that because it didn't have tomatoes. It's a great place to go when the weather is nice though since you can sit outside.
re: QTG
At one time I was a Maudie's fan, particularly of the location on North Lamar, but I frequented all of the locations. They made pretty decent cheese enchiladas, and good, industrial strength margaritas. In my opinion, though, there was a steep drop-off in quality a couple of years ago, and I haven't noticed any improvement. I've never been impressed with the restaurant's overall cleanliness - the Maudie's "Hacienda" location on South Lamar is particularly nasty at times. The relatively upscale Davenport location has lousy service, and uncaring staff who appear to be UT students that would rather be doing something else. For food and service, the aforementioned North Lamar site is the best of a very mediocre bunch, but Maudie's is no longer in my ever-shrinking circle of Austin dining oprtions.
Not the best Tex - Mex in this town, but they do some things really well, like the Guac and the Queso. When I go there, I almost always order the burger. It's really good!! Get Grilled Onions and Guac on it.
Sounds crazy to go to a Tex-Mex place and order a burger, but if you aren't a fan of Maudie's Tex-Mex and you find yourself there, trust me. Order the burger!!
Maudie's is one of the best Mexican Food places in Austin. I am a salsa and queso lover. Maudie's has the perfect blend of salsa. The salsa is not too chunky, not too sweet, and has the authentic Tex-Mex flavor. It does leave you with a case of Garlic breath, but that is a reminder of how good the salsa is. The queso is unbeatable at Maudie's. The queso is smooth and not chunky, has a great cheesy flaver, and melts in your mouth. The chicken enchiladas are a favorite of mine at Maudie's. The chicken is fresh, shredded, white meat. They put a big portion of chicken in the enchiladas with a nice green or chile sauce on top.
If a Tex-Mex place doesn't get the salsa and queso right why bother...enchiladas are hard to mess up. But, Maudie's does all 3 right.
The rice and beans are not extra...they come with virtually every dish I have ordered.
re: jiffy
I agree with you whole-heartedly. The salsa can be a bit hot sometimes, but the queso is the best freakin' queso I've ever had in my entire life living ALL OVER Texas. Oh, and MIXING the queso with the salsa = heaven. I've had their migas mid-day and it wasn't the best migas I've ever had but it was definitely good and edible (ask for extra chips and queso with it). I'm a big fan of their Tamales el Jeffe, and their spinach/mushroom enchilada's - I think that one's called Kimberley's Special. My friend raves about their tortilla soup every time we go, but I haven't personally tried it yet. My boyfriend loves their Carne Guisada burritos smothered in chile con carne sauce, which is a whole nother story. I would go there just for a gallon of chile con carne sauce and some dipping tortillas if I could. Sure, the service isn't always great but the prices are cheap and the atmosphere is welcoming... plus it's just soooo good!
I love Migas too, and the absolute best that I have had in Austin are to be found at Taqueria Arandas on Burnet, and yes they do serve them at lunchtime (or anytime). Enchiladas y Mas also serves Migas at lunch, but they are not quite as good IMHO (but I l-o-v-e their cheese enchiladas!).
My favorite dish at Maudies is the "Rockin' Ruthann"... two smallish chicken burritos smothered in chili con carne (with that deliciously cheap "government cheese" melted on top!).
They also have this really tasty breakfast taco with pork tamales mixed in with the scrambled eggs. Did I mention it is tasty?
Maudie's has wonderful migas, in my opinion. If I'm I. The mood for migas, Maudie's is the place to go. Z Tejas and Manuel's are worth mentioning as well.
Other than migas, Maudie's are best at making enchiladas. If you don't want to commit to one thing, then try a combo plate, or take someone who loves you enough to share!

Title: Marketing Communications Specialist
Years in the profession: 10 years
Favorite quote: You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What made you choose a career in communications? Inquisitive by nature, I have always loved to ask questions and hear the stories of others. There are so many wonderful stories that have yet to be told! From the day I started on my middle school newspaper, I knew I wanted to write and share stories.
How have you benefited from being an IABC St. Louis member?
I'm not from St. Louis and this can be a tough town for outsiders. Through IABC, I've met some really great folks and carved out a little niche for myself in this town. I look forward to the monthly meetings because I love to meet new people and enjoy walking away with new contacts. You never know when you'll be able to help someone in the future!
What advice would you give to someone considering a career in communication?
Hone your craft by learning to be a fantastic listener (with your two ears and one mouth). Be curious and ask questions. Don't assume you know the reasons for something even if it seems obvious. Seek out people who have made careers in communications and ask them to share their mistakes and triumphs, and then learn from both. Carry a journal and jot down these lessons and ideas everywhere you go.
What do you like most about your job?
I'm a highly creative person and creativity and fresh ideas are highly encouraged at Reliv. Thinking big and trying new things are not only allowed, but also encouraged! Working with a group of people who are also imaginative and full of great ideas keeps me energized!
When not working, you could find me:
Cycling in Madison County IL, Grants Trail or Katy Trail. My husband and I love to pedal around this beautiful city and enjoy all the wonderful food, festivals and scenery.
I cannot believe it's already June! I look back to the start of my year as IABC President and am amazed how quickly time has flown. This year's board has done an absolutely fantastic job creating meaningful opportunities for our members and communications professionals in our region. Your time is valuable so we want to make sure the time you spend with IABC outside of your offices is helpful. It's hard to find the kind of professional development and networking with seasoned professionals all in one place that our chapter has created. Some of the highlights from the past year have been:
- A rocking Jail House Rock Quill Awards Ceremony recognizing some of the greatest communications work in St. Louis
- A full-day seminar filled with engaging dialogue and many great takeaways to incorporate in day-to-day corporate communications
- Learning from experts in their respective fields from companies including Mallinckrodt, Washington University, Weber Shandwick, Monsanto, Arch Coal Inc., The Doe Run Company, Lindenwood University, The Survey Institute, Mercy, St. Louis Area Foodbank, Standing Partnership, Obata Design, Webster University, Missouri Botanical Garden, Buck Consultants, St. Louis Children's Hospital and the author of "The Social Media Strategist."
Wow, that's some serious brainpower from which we've had a chance to benefit! And not only have I taken away concrete lessons learned from each presentation, I've had an opportunity to get to know more about many of your organizations and your work. It's the connections that I've made that have made this year so meaningful to me.
As the board gears up for another year of engaging events, we welcome your feedback on topics you'd like to see. If you have a topic and/or presenter you feel would be a great addition to our calendar, the Professional Development committee wants to hear from you!
If you've been thinking about becoming or rejoining as a member or, if you've been craving other membership resources (webinars, special interest groups, learning materials, mentoring), please share those with us as well. It's the perfect time to start connecting with other communicators and accessing an international network of 13,000+ IABC members and a wealth of articles and research.
I will soon be turning over the reigns but I hope to see each of you at future events that promise to be as rewarding as those in years past. If you haven't already done so, please consider registering and attending our June event: Does Social Media Work Anymore? Register today!

Title: Coordinator for BJC School Outreach and Youth Development
Years in the profession: 2
Favorite quote: "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten" – Anthony Robbins
What I (want to) get out of IABC: Although I have only worked in the professional world for about two years, I have learned so much by simply networking and listening to others. I have met some very influential people over the past couple of years and have gained valuable knowledge that I may not have ever received if I didn't put myself out there and ask questions. Through IABC, I am hoping to network and learn from others, and also to develop professional skills in order to become more valuable for my department and for my organization.
What do you like most about your job? I love working for School Outreach and Youth Development because we teach K-12 youth how to live healthy lifestyles and how to prevent high-risk behaviors by educating them at a young age. We have come up with fun, interactive ways to educate students about their health, so they are learning, while also having fun. The testimonies that we receive from the students prove that our department really makes a difference in their lives.
What does life's next chapter hold for you? My fiancé and I got engaged in March, so the next step is a wedding! We are looking into a destination wedding, which means a vacation with family and friends, too! I will also be starting the MBA program through Webster University in June, so I am looking forward to being challenged professionally and also learning more about the business world, more specifically marketing, which will build upon and also enhance the knowledge gained in undergrad (Healthcare Management with an emphasis in Communication).
When not working, you could find me: At the gym — my fiancé and I are into fitness and healthy lifestyles. At school, I will always strive to be a life-long learner. At church and with family and friends, it's very important to make time for loved ones.
Significant professional lesson learned: Sometimes you have to do things that you don't necessarily want to do in order to get where you want to be. My first full-time job out of college was a Phlebotomist. I had never had experience working with patients before and never dealt with bodily specimens, but I took the job in order to get my foot in the door with BJC HealthCare. I learned a great deal about health care, I met some amazing people and also became really good at drawing blood! I eventually applied internally through our organization to find the job I have now, which I am very happy with for the time being.

Unleash the Power of Social Media Case Study
Thursday, September 26, 2013
Don Sanford, Principal of Buck Consultants
Learn how to use social media to educate your audience about a key business topic. While social media is being used by many organizations to recruit talent and to create a forum for internal conversations, few companies have unleashed its true power to educate employees about key business issues. In this session, Donald Sanford, Principal of Buck Consultants, will provide a unique case study, with proven metrics, that shows how a "Facebook-like" social media platform was created to educate employees about a complex new business subject.
During a three-month period in 2012, Don worked with a company to launch the new site using weekly "news feeds," personalized information and interactive quizzes, to drive key messages around an important business subject. He measured employee knowledge of the subject prior to the launch, and following the three-month period, to gauge its true impact.
This case study, presented at the IABC World Conference in June, explores the unique finding and impressive results achieved! It could become an important new way for you to communicate with all of your employees.

The Best Career Advice I Ever Got
July 2, 2013, Member News
Rummaging through the flotsam of boxes in my mother's basement recently, a piece of IABC's past was the last thing I expected to float by. It took the form of a newsletter called Headlines from 1979.
Almost as soon as the question materialized – "What on earth?" – I remembered: My mother is the one who introduced me to IABC, many years ago now.
It was the year I moved to St. Louis to begin my career in communications. At the time, my mother worked for the American Red Cross, which is still located on Lindell Blvd. Her job was to organize blood drives in Missouri and Illinois. One of the staff she worked with closely was the director of public relations, Karen Isbell.
Then as now, the resident PR person at most organizations had the responsibility of taking photos at internal events. Karen had captured an engaging image of two coworkers – one of them being my mother. It was published in black-and-white, 8- by 10-inch glory on the back page of IABC St. Louis' Headlines in 1979 as a good example of organizational photography.
When I arrived in St. Louis years later, Karen was an active member of IABC St. Louis and a recent president. She suggested to my mother that I attend some IABC meetings as a way to meet people and get to know the town. I took the idea to heart and quickly connected with my first mentor, a woman who extended job opportunities, support and advice over the next several years, a kindness I have never forgotten. (C.S., I'm talking about you.)
I realize now that I also should be thanking my mother, whose encouragement to join IABC St. Louis remains the best career advice she ever gave me. Thanks, Mom.
Next week, we'll tackle another box and see what it holds.

In the long story short tradition, the majority party has more fun. So far, 568 bills are, or have been, in the hopper. The Governor has signed 129 bills. The two chambers have PIed 133 bills. Of the 133 PIed bills, 84 had only GOP sponsors. Of the 129 signed bills, 47 had only Dem sponsors. The Governor has vetoed two bills, both with only Democratic sponsors (ouch!).It's fair to say that the GOP has thrown up many of its most controversial bills, especially in an election year, so lots of its PIed bills are highly political. One can also say that Dems have been reasonably fair to Republicans in the signed bill category, as 82 of 129 bills have either mixed sponsorship or all Republican sponsors. That bit of the story may not make it to the highly contested races to confront the state this summer and fall. With 300 bills left to move through in 18 DAYS, it's bound to be lively, contentious, and grumpy. More as bills progress...

"Suck it up, soccer moms." This artful advice, based on comments from US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, was splashed last month across the home page of the education reform non profit, America Succeeds.
America Succeeds was organized by Wall Street investment bankers. It has two prominent Coloradans on its five member board: State Senator Michael Johnston, D-Denver, and Donnell Kay Foundation Executive Director Tony Lewis.
Sen. Johnston recently added to America Succeeds' snicker, calling some citizens objecting to his policies of relentless standardized testing and student data collection, "Cherry Creek cheerleaders."
Johnston and allies lead state education "reform"
Johnston has allied himself with a gaggle of Big Ed Reformers: Colorado Legacy Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Donnell Kay Foundation, Colorado Succeeds, Democrats for Education Reform, Teach for America, New Leaders for New Schools, Pearson Company, Microsoft, Google, Michael Bloomberg, and wealthy New York hedge fund managers.
Ruppert Murdoch, the Australian media mogul of British phone hacking fame, has joined his fellow education reform supporters, cashing in with his Amplify product, aligned perfectly to common core reform instruction. Every child's key strokes are collected and stored for posterity and data mining.
These rich "reformers," billionaires and foundations supported by billionaires, reflect the essence of the grassroots cheerleaders' fears. Big Government, Big Foundations, and Big Corporations are using the Big Data Technology revolution to repeat the old VietNam war stratagem: We will blow up your schools in order to save your schools.
Grassroots "cheerleaders," short on Monied Underwriters, nevertheless showed up at the Capitol to lobby two Johnston bills, including SB14-165, giving districts a one-year break on using growth data in teacher evaluations (amend), and the ironically named Student Success Act, HB14-1292 (amend), a $100 million diversion of school funds for various Johnston programs defeated in the Amendment 66 debacle.
The cheerleaders even had the temerity to try to protect student data from the shark jaws of Big Business, HB14-1294 (see Murdoch, MIcrosoft, Google above). They worked to allow parents to opt their kids out of the tests, HB14-1202, a bill now narrowed to assess assessments, their costs and impacts on kids, teachers, schools, and districts.
Tony Lewis at Donnell Kay will remake public education
Unlike the cheerleaders, Tony Lewis, the America Succeeds board member and FOJ, has the Senator's support to "reschool" education for all of Colorado using digital advances and online distance learning as the solution to closing various achievement gaps. Colleen Broderick will lead this reform. She says, "Technology doesn't have to completely replace all components of today's current learning system; in fact, the element of engaging with people and community face to face is equally essential." Good to know.
Pearson profits from PARRC, the coming 2015 trainwreck
Pearson Company, the PARRC exam experimenter, received $185 million of Race to the Top money to build the tests. It's also partnering with Microsoft so kids can take advantage of Windows 8 touch screen technology to use curriculum, produced by Pearson, that's perfectly aligned with Common Core.
In a recent Education Committee hearing, Johnston rejected any prospect of reassessing the state's future testing program. Rather than take a pause based on the Pearson test results in New York identifying 66% of that state's children as not proficient in anything, Johnston insists that the state must move forward. President Dwight Eisenhower would recognize this scenario: the standardized testing industrial complex.
Pearson will gain more profits through its cleverly named partner enterprise, Knewton. Knewton feeds kids Common Core-branded digital worksheets based specifically on a student's learning style. The goal is to help students do well on the PARRC exams, which may ultimately be used to replace ACT and SAT for college admission.
But many colleges are moving away from the test requirement. Over 800 colleges now offer no-test admissions, according to an NPR story, and have found that a student's grades are the best predictor of student success in college.
Legacy Foundation goes back to '70s for classroom model
The Colorado Legacy Foundation, an amply funded non profit enabling Johnston's vision through its 41 employees, has received $22 million from the Gates Foundation, at last count. Legacy is running its own experiments in Big Data, promoting a non profit called New Classrooms.
School of One, a New Classrooms' "innovation" that looks a lot like the old open classrooms of the '70s, helps teachers provide "personalized education" from "multiple modalities of instruction." According to the New Classrooms design, over 100 kids will sit quietly and dutifully working either in teams, in a long line at computer terminals, or receiving lectures from two teachers with support from two other cheaper-to-employ adults.
Like every other Big Ed reform entity, New Classrooms has Very Big Technology and Investment Capital Money behind it, including the Bezos Family Foundation, New Profit Inc., Salmon River Capital, the Broad Foundation, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Carnegie Foundation.
Parents worried about the overwhelming import of data driven, digitally based instruction are told by Legacy to calm down and get rid of their "heebie jeebies." Teachers should also stop "wigging out" over these initiatives, according to an elected official close to both the Legacy Foundation and the Colorado Department of Education.
Johnston: Don Quixote or Ahab?
Johnston, along with his benefactors and staff of four when every other legislator has one part-timer, has taken Colorado students, parents, and educators on a very long ride of teacher performance evaluation, school assessment, and student testing. Time, money, and human resources, all at the expense of other education priorities, have been sunk into the reform vision.
But it hasn't worked out the way Johnston and his fellow visionaries want. Colorado's achievement results, after 13 years of George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind, haven't budged in any significant way, according to standardized tests.
Johnston's initiatives have failed to produce replicable education programs helpful to all kids in neighborhood schools, comprehensive middle and high schools, charter schools, and especially the online distance schools. He is known for his Teach for America speech on "hard truths." These particular hard truths are apparently hard for him to swallow.
Little attention to parents' schools of choice: neighborhood schools
In fact, Johnston's and the Foundations' vision doesn't include much for neighborhood and community schools, the most frequent choice schools for parents and the backbone of Colorado's education structure. His policies have pressured rural schools, leaving them underfunded. His SB13-213 financially punished suburban schools to such a degree, and pushed such a massive state overreach into the affairs of local districts, that it was rejected 2:1 by Colorado voters.
His latest foray into Big Money partnerships is the recently introduced SB14-185, the Pay for Success School and Community Performance Contract bill. The idea of the bill is to give contractors the opportunity to save government entities future money through early childhood education programs.
The Office of State Planning and Budgeting has to figure out the amount of money contractors have saved governments, one presumes, based on analysis of preschool student outcomes. If a contractor produces kids who don't go to prison, one way the program is used in Britain, the contractor could make some real Big Money. If the bill passes, the state will dump $25 million into a pay for success fund. Who can't get behind this idea?
Parents want fewer tests, more instruction
Despite Sen. Johnston's diss of Colorado citizens, parents resisting the reformer's vision are not afraid of assessment and accountability. A reasonable testing system based on reliable, not experimental, tests is what they want. They are not afraid of data. They are concerned about unsecured, misused, and inappropriate data collection.
In Johnston's world, asking local districts and parents what will work for their schools is not what he's about (see bills above). Just look at who's for and against HB14-1292, the Student Success Act, to see how school districts are now reacting to reform initiatives (go to the lobbyists link).
Education reform that delegates teaching to technology will fail. Education reform that isolates students in a digital cocoon will fail. Education initiatives that connect students and teachers and schools and communities and puts the human back into learning and the person back into personalized will ultimately make the most difference.

Can't we all just get along? That question is run up Colorado's flagpole at the beginning of every General Assembly. So far, with two-thirds of the session over and about three-quarters of the bills still in the sausage maker, legislators are showing much more collegiality this year, except, of course, for two bickering members of House Appropriations.
One month to go, 75% of bills still churning through
Caveats first: both chambers have a lot more bills, many contentious, not even half way through the grinder. The Governor signed 441 bills into law in the 2013 session. As of April 4, 2014, he's signed 113 bills. He's vetoed two in this election year, demonstrating his independence, according to pundits. He vetoed one other bill in 2012, another election year in which he showed his independence.
Some numbers: legislators have introduced 546 bills. 190 bills have both Democratic and Republican sponsors. Of the 113 the Governor has signed, twenty are supplemental appropriations sponsored by the majority party. Of the 93 remaining signed bills, 52 have bipartisan sponsorship. The Governor has signed 7 bills sponsored only by Republicans.
2013 GOP House and Senate broke bad on Dem bills
Some House Republicans last year opposed all but the most innocuous Democratic bills. Rep. Justin Everett (S.Jeffco) voted YES 164/NO 241 times, Rep. Steve Humphrey (Severence) voted YES 177/NO 229 times, and Rep. Lori Saine (Firestone) voted YES 196/NO 238 times.
2013 Republican State Senators weren't quite as vehement, but many voted NO from 30% to just over 40% of the time. Senate Minority Leader Bill Cadman voted NO 38%, Sen. Mark Scheffel voted NO 40%, and Sens. Vicki Marble and Scott Renfroe voted NO 41% of the time.
2014 Dems vote together, will run together
In 2014 so far, Democrats have held steady to their 2013 unanimous voting habits. Out of 113 signed bills, Senate Democrats voted YES 1992 times, NO 6 times. House Dems voted YES 4091 times, NO 16 times.
Two of the Dem NO votes in the House came, curiously, from Rep. Crisanta Duran (Denver) and Jenise May (Aurora) on the same bill, HB14-1024, the Claret Cup Cactus as State Cactus bill. The claret cup cactus is a lovely, deep red flowering plant that coincides with the essence of our state's name, Colorado. Who'da thunk it?
A similar bill to name the Palisade Peach as the state fruit should receive a unanimous vote from all legislators of both parties, according to Colorado pundits, all of whom love all things western slope.
House GOP moves center; Everett stays rightest on bills sponsored
House Republicans in 2014 have a whole new voting style. Everett is now 56 YES/32 NO (he's missed quite a few final votes); Humphrey is 72 YES/39 NO; and Saine is 72 YES/32 NO.
Nine House Republicans have voted YES 90+ times on the 113 signed bills. An additional nine Republican House members have voted YES 80+ times.
Rep. Saine went 0-11 in bills sponsored in 2013. Just one bill had a Democratic co-sponsor. This year, Saine has 9 of 14 bills with Democratic co-sponsors; SB14-063, the Mandatory Review of State Agency Rules bill, has been signed by the Governor; her remaining 6 bills look good for final passage.
Rep. Humphrey ran 6 bills in 2013, and all were postponed indefinitely. This year, he has 4 of 7 bills with Democratic co-sponsors; a flood related bill has been signed by the Governor; two more bills, including one of the most popular in the session – removing cameras from providing evidence for speeding tickets – will pass, all pundits hope.
Only Rep. Everett has done a double-down on sure-to-fail bills, going 0-6 in 2014 after passing 2 of 6 in 2013.
GOP Senators edge to center too
On the Senate side, two of the most conservative legislators in 2013, Sen. Vicki Marble (Fort Collins) and Sen. Scott Renfroe (Greeley) have sought out and received some Dem co-sponsors.
Sen. Marble had no Dem co-sponsors in 2013 and passed two bills. This year, she's run five bills; her bill with a Democrat co-sponsor is signed. Another bill to protect children has a very good chance of passing. SB14-136, postponing state standardized testing for one year, had Democratic grassroots support but failed in the Senate Education Committee.
Sen. Renfroe ran 10 bills in 2013, one with a Democrat co-sponsor. Two were signed by the Governor. He is running 11 bills this year, five with Democratic co-sponsors.
Is goodwill good or bad?
With this relative comity, at least compared to 2013, some might wonder as to the source of the good will. CCW posits four scenarios, two focusing on sincerity and two focusing on cynicism.
In any of these scenarios, it can be argued that Coloradans have benefited. Already the claret cactus is the state xeriscape prodigy, the Palisade Peach is likely to be the state fruit, and happiest of all, cameras may be taken off heavily trafficked intersections so Coloradans will once again get their tickets at Belleview and University and Santa Fe and Mineral the old fashioned way.

Highest-Calorie Energy Drinks
Energy drinks can contain hundreds of calories per can, which makes them flavorful but doesn't make them very healthy for you
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
When our bodies lose energy, our minds start to shut down, and we need an energy boost, many of us reach for an energy drink. They're full of caffeine and other energy-boosters, such as taurine and guanine, that wake us up and keep us going for hours.
Highest-Calorie Energy Drinks (Slideshow)
But many energy drinks can contain hundreds of calories per can, which makes them flavorful but doesn't make them very healthy for you. Some brands, including Monster, NOS, and AMP, contain 200 to 300 calories in a can. But others, such as Crunk, can contain nearly 600 calories per can.
For many of us, an energy drink is our go-to source for a long-lasting energy boost, so it's important that we're aware of just how many empty calories we may be consuming. Take a look at what the highest-calorie energy drinks are.

STOP being your worst critic. You ARE more beautiful than you think.
Dove has helped woman feel beautiful (and boost their self-esteem) in ways that many other brands haven't dared. It started with their 'Real Beauty' campaign back in 2004, when they abandoned the stick-thin models for women of all shapes, sizes and ethnic groups in an effort to make meaningful impressions with real women.
This past week, Dove decided to push their vision one step further. With the help of a forensic sketch artist, they aim to demonstrate to woman that through the eyes of others they are in fact more beautiful than they think.
Watch the video and see how Dove connects with woman on a level far deeper than the typical beauty brand through brilliant storytelling.

Ooops--I accidentally dleteed my comment when I meant to correct a spelling error! What I was trying to say was that I believe some varieties of corn that are grown as livestock feed are left to dry in the fields longer. Perhaps in your area of France the weather is milder than here in Canada where the dry corn is then harvested and stored in silos for the winter.Lovely lovely photo. Your blog is a "site" for sore eyes.

Plot Summary: "Alien Trespass" is an exciting and entertaining homage to the great science-fiction movies of the 1950s, the post-war boom period when the country was filled with great hope and prosperity and, at the same time, lived under the threat of nuclear annihilation.
The story begins in 1957 in the star-filled skies above California's Mojave Desert. It is a special night for noted astronomer Ted Lewis (Eric McCormack), who is preparing a special dinner for his beautiful, adoring wife Lana (Jody Thompson) to celebrate their wedding anniversary. In another part of town, Tammy (Jenni Baird), a waitress at small local diner with big plans for the future, looks out her window and is excited to see a shooting star, which she takes as a good sign for her dreams.
But, what Dr. Lewis and Tammy assume is a shooting star, is really an alien spaceship. The fiery ball hurtles toward earth and crash-lands on a butte in the desert. The only witnesses are teens Dick (Andrew Dunbar) and Penny (Sarah Smyth) who are necking in a nearby lover's lane.
A tall, metallic alien named Urp emerges from the craft unharmed, alarmed to discover that the monstrous Ghota, who was also on board, has escaped. The menacing one-eyed creature's unquenchable appetite could mean the end of civilization as we know it.
Urp is the only one who knows how to stop the hideous extra-terrestrial, but to do so he has to take over the body of Dr. Lewis and enlist the aid of Tammy, the only human in town willing to believe and trust in his mission. The local police--including Chief Dawson (Dan Lauria) and Officer Vern (Robert Patrick)--are confirmed skeptics and offer little help. Together, Urp and Tammy must hunt down the Ghota and neutralize it before it consumes all the local inhabitants and uses the human fuel to multiply and conquer the world!
"Alien Trespass," a thrilling sci-fi adventure from three-time Golden Globe winner and five time Emmy Award-nominee director/producer R.W. Goodwin ("The X-Files") and brought to you in glorious color!
