One April day when spring was in the air,
I stepped outside so I might relish it.
I came upon a cherry tree so fair,
beneath its limbs I was enticed to sit.
I fell to sleep inhaling fragrant bliss -
the vision of the tree still in my brain.
I dreamed one sweet, pink petal, like a kiss,
fell on my cheek, and soon there was a rain. . .
A rain of lovely silken blossoms! Then
they softly made a pile upon the ground.
Warm wind embraced me; that's the moment when
I woke to pink resplendence all around!
Upon a bed of petals I then lay.
Inside a dream I had no need to stay!

See Jane Win Challenge
Winning isn't only about crossing that finish line first. Sometimes it's about finding sanity, sharing time with friends, conquering self doubt, accomplishing a PR or just enjoying some good chocolate. Whatever it is for you, we know that when you step up to the start line, you have already won. We hope you are all joining us for the See Jane Run Half Marathon and 5K in 2014.
There's another way to win as well: When you know that every ounce of effort you put in is also supporting a great cause. I'm writing with the hope you'll join me in the See Jane Win Challenge, a fun opportunity to make your race count for something bigger than you, and all I ask is that you bring a dollar to the race. That's right, one dollar. Then I want you to run faster than me.
Every time I bend over to lace up my shoes, or pay for a race, I feel immense gratitude that I am able to do these things. I've watched family and friends suffer from physical disabilities, so I will never take for granted the ability to stand upright, to walk or to run. Running is a blessed gift. It isn't always easy, it isn't always fun, but it is always rewarding.
To that end, I want to use my running to give back to the charities supported by See Jane Run in 2014. At each of the four See Jane Run races, I will compete to "win" the 5K. For those who know me, you know I have never won a race. Not even close! This year I will donate one dollar for every person who beats me in the See Jane Run 5K races. And I challenge you to donate one dollar if I beat you. Please bring your one dollar bill to the race. I am going to run my heart out, for me, for you and for the charities we support. I hope you can take a few minutes to check out our charities that need our help in 2014 and do what you can. Things are tough for everyone right now. The economy has taken its toll on our friends, our family and on the causes we hold dear. One dollar from each of us will go a long way.
–Lori Shannon, Owner and Founder, See Jane Run

Sierra Club Applauds State Senate for Repeal of Coal Plant Subsidy and Is Troubled With Statement From Governor's OfficePosted by Terri Morgan on March 25, 2010 - 11:40am
March 24, 2010
Tax exemption helps multi-billion dollar TransAlta, not workers.
Washington legislators are in their final days of hashing out responses to the state's multi-billion dollar budget shortfall. Still in play is the $5 million-a-year sales tax exemption for TransAlta, the multi-billion-dollar Canadian corporation that owns the coal-fired power plant in Centralia. Today, the Governor's office confirmed her opposition to the Senate proposal to remove this tax exemption.
The Sierra Club, Coal-Free Washington Campaign Director Doug Howell responded to the Governor's comments. "TransAlta's coal plant is Washington's single largest stationary source of pollution, including carbon dioxide, toxic mercury and haze. A better use of that public money is investing in a clean energy future. The Sierra Club supports redirecting these funds to investments in clean energy workforce development.
Washington Becomes Fifth State to Ban BPA in Baby BottlesPosted by Terri Morgan on March 19, 2010 - 3:48pm
March 19th, 2010 by Ashley DeForest
Washington State overwhelmingly passed the Safe Baby Bottle Act (SSB 6248) during the 2010 legislative session, which will eliminate the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) from baby bottles, sippy cups, and other children's dishware, as well as from sports bottles.
"This is a huge victory for children's health and for parents. Dangerous chemicals like BPA have no place in baby bottles, sippy cups or any product children put in their mouths," said the prime sponsor of the house version of the legislation, State Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson (D-Seattle), in a recent article. "Parents can soon go to the store with confidence and buy a bottle for their baby that won't contain BPA."
Alpine Lakes Wilderness and Rivers Bill Passes U.S. House of RepresentativesPosted by Terri Morgan on March 19, 2010 - 12:13pm
Bipartisan Legislation One Step Closer to Preserving Additions to Alpine Lakes Wilderness and Portions of the Pratt River and the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River
SEATTLE — March 18, 2010 Supporters of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Additions and the Pratt and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers Protection Act (H.R. 1769 / S. 721) celebrated as the legislation moved closer to final passage.
The measure, which passed out of the House of Representatives today, would protect an additional 22,000 acres of wilderness adjoining the existing Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area and would add 10 miles of the Pratt River and nearly 30 miles of the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River to the National Wild and Scenic River System. Washington wilderness supporters thanked Representative Dave Reichert for his continuing leadership, advocacy and bipartisan approach to protecting the wilderness and free-flowing rivers in the North Cascades.
Columbia Basin Farmers Rejoice But Some Environmentalists Worry Over Plans For A Key Irrigation PipelinePosted by Terri Morgan on March 14, 2010 - 2:16pm
By, Craig Welch, The Seattle Times
OTHELLO, Adams County
Orman Johnson's spuds are out of the ground now, piled in sheds longer than football fields, each stuffed with enough tubers to feed Seattle for half a year.
Like most of Washington's 9 billion pounds of potatoes, the farmer's thirsty crop is grown where less rain falls annually than Seattle may get in six weeks. And the well water that supplies Johnson's farm is disappearing.
As The Gray Wolf Recovers, Who Are Its Friends?Posted by Terri Morgan on March 12, 2010 - 3:12pm
The species is back in parts of the state. But can a recovering species return to the Olympic Peninsula?
By Daniel Jack Chasan
Gray wolves are back, gliding through the forests of eastern Washington and the Cascades. The Lookout pack is producing pups in the Methow Valley, near Twisp. Seven wolves, an alpha male and female, a yearling and last year's four pups, have been traveling through 350 square miles, eating black-tailed and mule deer primarily, but also munching the occasional muskrat or beaver. Last year, on the banks of the Twisp River, they were seen eating salmon.
The Diamond pack is roaming the northeastern corner of the state, where grizzly bears and mountain caribou also wander down into the Salmo-Priest wilderness. There seem to be wolves in the southeastern corner, across the border from the two packs that have been identified in Oregon's Wallowa Mountain and Hell's Canyon area. Other wolves have been sighted in Mount Rainier National Park, although no one knows whether or not they're hybrids.
Wolves hold a very special badass image in European language and myth. They are seen as voracious ("wolfing down" one's food); unusually predatory (a "wolf whistle" directed at a pretty woman); a metaphor for human aggression ("The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold.").
Port Susan Shellfish Safe for First Time in DecadesPosted by Terri Morgan on March 9, 2010 - 3:20pm
by GARY CHITTIM / KING 5 News, Posted on March 8, 2010 at 5:58 PM
ARLINGTON, Wash. - Twenty-five years ago the Stillaguamish Tribe turned its back on the contaminated bay which was once its food basket.
Development around Port Susan had left it polluted with fecal coliform. Human and animal waste had been flowing into the shallow bay and mudflats for decades.
But 12 years ago, the tribe decided to do something.
Last Chance Missed for Transit TaxPosted by Terri Morgan on March 8, 2010 - 10:48pm
Posted By Jordan Schrader on March 8, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Lawmakers have probably missed their last chance to do something to bail out struggling transit agencies.
Pierce Transit and its Snohomish County counterpart, Community Transit, say they need funding to stave off cuts to bus service. They want authority to levy a $20 fee on vehicles in the county without voter approval, or a bigger fee if voters permit.
EPA Gives Bellingham $350,000 Grant for Climate Change ProjectPosted by Terri Morgan on March 3, 2010 - 1:48pm
BELLINGHAM - The city has received a $350,000 federal grant for a project to reduce carbon emissions by reducing energy use.
The money comes from the Environmental Protection Agency through its new Climate Showcase Communities program. Bellingham is among the first cities in the nation to be awarded such a grant - becoming one out of 25 to receive the money from a pool of 450 applicants, according to a city news release.
In New Post, Dicks Will Keep His Eye On EnvironmentPosted by Terri Morgan on February 21, 2010 - 8:35pm
From the Desk of Art Kaufman: Send a Message to Governor GregoirePosted by Terri Morgan on February 20, 2010 - 1:44pm
From the Desk of Art Kaufman Member, Activist and Donor
Several years ago I attended a luncheon where Governor Gregoire spoke to over 100 national and local members of the Sierra Club. Without notes and for over 20 minutes, she delivered one of the most inspirational messages about concern for the environment that I had ever heard from a major political figure. She pledged her commitment to flora, to fauna, to the land, and to water and clean air. She received a well deserved, rousing ovation. Global warming and resultant climate changes are today's real and imminent dangers. The principle cause is the increasing emission of carbon dioxide gas, most of which comes from burning coal to generate electricity. As a result, the Sierra Club has initiated a 'Beyond Coal Campaign'. Nationally, they have been active in preventing over 100 new coal burning electric generating plants from leaving the drawing boards. Locally, they want Washington to be the first coal-free state: free of coal burning in our state and free of importing coal generated electricity from out of state.

Huawei jumps into the phablet race with Ascend Mate
Summary: Chinese tech giant launches its "all-in-one" Ascend Mate phablet, as well as the Ascend D2 smartphone, to cater to people looking to reduce the number of gadgets they carry around.
LAS VEGAS--Huawei Devices today launched its Ascend Mate phablet--a smartphone and tablet hybrid--and Ascend D2 smartphone, as it looks to reduce the number of electronic gadgets people have to carry around with its all-in-one devices.
Richard Yu, head of Huawei Devices, said Monday the company views an all-in-one product as one that has a large, high-resolution screen, long battery power, easy to bring around, and sporting a superior camera. With that in mind, the company developed its Ascend Mate device to meet these parameters, he said. The executive was speaking in a pre-show briefing here at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013.
Touting the Ascend Mate as the "largest screen" device in the market, Yu said it has a 6.1-inch screen with a screen-to-frame ratio of 0.73. Long battery life--in the form of a 4,500 mAH battery--was another feature he identified, which would give users a talk time of 22 hours and 13 minutes on a full charge and 16 hours of Web browsing.
By contrast, Samsung's Galaxy Note 2 offers up to 16 hours and 57 minutes of talk time and 11 hours and 27 minutes of Web browsing, the executive noted.
Other notable functions for the Ascend Mate include Magic Touch, allowing users to navigate the touch screen even with their gloves one, augmented reality navigation, "smart reading" that makes searching or translating a word, name, or phrase easy, and "one-hand user interface (UI)" which makes typing with one hand less troublesome.
The Ascend D2, on the other hand, was promoted as "powerful" due to its complex manufacturing process, Yu said. He noted it takes 116 manufacturing processes to produce one of these devices, whereas the market average comes in at 30 to 40 processes.
Battery life was similarly highlighted, as the 3,000 mAH battery compares favorably with Apple's iPhone 5 which has a 1,440 mAH batter and Samsung's Galaxy S 3's 2,100 mAH battery, he said. Dust and water resistance was also mentioned, with Yu pouring a tumbler of water over the phone during the briefing to make his point.
The Ascend D2 will be available in China later this month, with a launch in Japan "soon", Yu added. The Ascend Mate, meanwhile, will hit the Chinese market in February 2013 while other markets can get their hands on it from March onward. No prices were revealed during the briefing, though.

Today is National Donut Day! Now, I know you are saying, "What does that have to do with dolls?" Nothing, something. I don't know too many doll lovers that don't love donuts too. So there's on thing. But more importantly, donuts do play a roll in doll displays. I am in awe […]

- Good foodNeighborhoodgemVIPDined on 10/14/2014Loved ribbon pasta and gnocchi. Meat mix for 2 is actually not for 2, but for the army. So much food! But all of it was very goodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/29/2014seems like it's popular days are post? It's a lovely room, but is very large and when only a few tables are occupied it feels too empty and uncomfortable. Food was good, but not exceptional. overall a nice experience, but I was expecting something a bit better.
- Overrated, overpriced food and wineTruefoodieVIPDined on 9/26/2014Wow. Talk about overrated, overpriced, terrible food perfect for the bridge and tunnel crowd who want to eat close to meatpacking. Could your food be any more bland, your wine list any more overpriced and your service any poorer? Probably. Should have known better than to dine in meatpacking. Warm crudo? Check. Tough "18 hour braised" octopus? Check. Famed "ribbon pasta" that tasted like they served it with canned ragu? Check. Best thing they had on the menu was the complimentary breadsticks. 30 minute wait when the restaurant is half empty? Check that as well. Never returning, never recommending, hard to see this place lasting very long. Avoid like the plague. Unless you're from Jersey.
- Great Eveving!CarmenVIPDined on 9/19/2014Great food, drinks were perfectly made and the ambiance was fantastatic, we had a wonderful evening!!!Special Features:
- Fiesta65Dined on 9/18/2014From the moment we walked in I felt a good vibe. Food was very tasty. Bread was hard to resist. Entree was perfect in that the seasonings did not interfere with the taste of the fish and portions are just right. Service was friendly and professional. The baked Alaska was by far the best I ever tasted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinerVIPDined on 9/16/2014Decent food serves in what looks like a 60's style bomb shelter or underground sewer system. Sampled most of the apps and several seafood dishes and all were satisfactory, but the ambience. Yuk.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Eclectic dining in the meatpackingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014High ceilings and concrete walls combined with great food make this place a great experienceSpecial Features:
- great experiencefoodwasgrr8tDined on 8/14/2014We celebrated my daughters 30th birthday. It was our first time at the restaurant, and the service was outstanding!! The menu selections were varied and good for a group. The presentation of the food was excellent. I would recommend The Monarch Room to everyone and we will return when visiting NYC again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great room and foodluvtoeatDined on 8/9/2014Had a really good meal. Seafood is really good. Wine list on the expensive side, but what do you expect in this area.Special Features:
- excellent placeOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/2/2014Location is fantastic. place is located in the old garage / warehouse in the heart of the meatpacking district. around the corner from the Apple store. ambiance is great, service is excellent and food is very good too. and they give you plenty of it, definitely wont go home hungry. drinks are great at well, definitely a couple of their specialty cocktails. highly recommend, would go back.Special Features:

- The following 32 reviews are from the The Monarch Room reviews archive.
- Very Impressed, Cant Wait To ReturnLeslie123Dined on 5/30/2014Food: Shared the Kale Salad and the Ribbon Pasta to start, both of which were perfectly executed. For our entrees we had the Halibut and Strip Steak, which again, we were very impressed with. There is also an amazing bread they serve at the beginning of the meal, which I'm still thinking about! Drinks: Great specialty cocktail program, would definitely return just so I could try more of the options. Atmosphere: The restaurant is quite large, but designed impeccably with a mix of cement, rich leathers, and dark wood. Will definitely be returning ASAP!Special Features:
- nice but a bit too noisesxmagniDined on 5/21/2014over all I had a great dinner, food was great even if they have not a wide choice. Wine list it was good too and prices are not exaggerate. the decoration and design is very "new york" style even if from the website looks better. The only very problem it was the noise level, luckily we arrive there late and we had to tolerate it only for few minutes because people was paying the check and leaving. Over all is a very nice placeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nothing but disappointmentsakesVIPDined on 5/14/2014The service is woeful, with a half full restaurant, we waited 30 mins for our drinks to arrive, in the end it was faster for us to go up to the bar and order our own drinks. We came for the steak for two and were told that they did not have it, that it's only on the menu occasionally even though it is printed on the every day menu. Our food was good, definitely not worth coming back for and our sides arrived after everyone had finished their meals. Interesting people watching with all of the promoters and their ladies walking in and out waiting for the club downstairs to open. Overall a huge disappointment and will not be coming back.
- SuperbMangiabellaDined on 5/12/2014Food was excellent...service impeccable. Would very much so recommend this restaurant to friends and family. Loved it. Made my birthday special.Special Features:
- Cool lookOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/28/2014Small plates but delicious, i did not like the chocolate lava cake but i am sure they have other dessertsSpecial Features:
- Great FindLuvinitDined on 4/28/2014I have two best boyfriends. We always spend our birthdays together at new (for us) restaurants. The Monarch Room was a great find. Upon entering we were knocked out by how gorgeous the place was. Everyone was friendly (really important to us) and helpful. But most importantly the food was divine. The oysters we luscious, the parsnip soup was silky and had many complimentary flavors (served and stayed hot!), the soft shelled crab was served crispy and delicious coupled with smashed sweet and chick peas, and the baked Alaska with a candle for the birthday boy, was the perfect desert. I will go again and again.Special Features:
- Great Experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 4/23/2014I had a great time at The Monarch Room! The food was excellent, the service was good, the ambiance was perfect for our anniversary dinner. I would highly recommend this place. It's pricey, but worth it.Special Features:
- MeholderandwiserDined on 4/22/2014I admit we were all (party of 4) a little disappointed. When we arrived, the "greeters" remained in the outside lobby standing around after they told us to go inside. And then we just stood there until one of our party went back out to the lobby for direction. After that the service improved - had a nice waiter who was helpful. The food was average. Specifically my rabbit was bland and dry. Appetizers were better than the entrees. My special Monarch Manhattan was dull and smaller than the usual drink size I'm used to. As for the atmosphere - the pictures are nicer than the actual place. And the ladies room was really dark! I'm a little older than the usual crowd that was there but my palette and my bankbook is at least equal to anyone!Special Features:
- GoldGoldDined on 4/17/2014Great food,wine noise levels were bit to much otherwise good serviceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amateur hourGregVIPDined on 4/5/2014If you try to fit in or act as though you hang at popular places, then this for you. Anyone with real taste, real connections or actually earns their money, wouldn't go. The attitudes of the staff is out of style. I used to deal with that at clubs but anyone who truly hangs at cool places doesn't deal with these kind of people. When the host didn't even puck his head up to check us in, we laughed at him. I guess when you make 30,000 a year, you tend to resent the ones you serve.
- Worthy of its name.JJB11209Dined on 4/1/2014I had occasion to dine in the Monarch Room yesterday evening and it was an outstanding experience in every way. Our waiter Joe was knowledgeable about all items on the menu and provided exemplary service. The oysters and hamachi from the raw bar were outstanding as were my date's octupus and my kale salad with blue cheese (the best blue cheese I have ever tasted). Entrees of duck breast and red snapper satisfied on every level as did the lemon tart and cookies and sweets dessert. FYI the cookies desssert is large enough for two (my girlfriend took most of her's home).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Monarch RoomOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 4/1/2014This is a happening new restaurant channeling the nearby meat packing district, with smooth concrete walls and floors, combined with a more UES decor of long wood and leather banquets for seating. There is a lot going here...a restaurant on the ground floor, private rooms upstairs and a separate night club in the basement, The Gilded Lily (which was not operating the night I was there). The menu was good, boarderline "foodie". Our party had the kale salad, parsnip soup and the Black Sea bass. All well prepared. The service was friendly and efficient. I look forward to a future visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great night!riverbluesDined on 3/27/2014My husband and i were there to celebrate our anniversary and had a fun evening - the food was nice and the service was truly outstanding. It was full even on a Thursday night and had a happening vibe.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- promptnesshungryhippoVIPDined on 3/26/2014This is the third time I have eaten here where i had to wait 45-60 min to be seated for my reservation. Not cool, especially when it's an off night (Wed night.)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good addition to meat packingLaurad42naVIPDined on 3/15/2014We were definitely no the early side at monarch but it was great. This place doesn't fill up on Saturday until after 9 and when it does it is a good place to people watch! Food was all pretty delicious. Only thing that wasn't anything special was the halibut but i think it is really hard to make a piece of fish special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- New venue in Meatpacking Districtzip10010VIPDined on 3/14/2014We made a reservation on a busy Friday night for 8.30 and were seated after a short wait at the bar. -Appetizers/to share: skate fingers, fried mushrooms, grilled octopus with remoulade. We did not care about the skate but the other 2 appetizers were delicious. -I ordered the red snapper with spinach, while my friend ordered the rabbit in "roulade". Both dishes were tasty and well-executed. I would recommend the rabbit, which had a lot of flavor. -We shared the "Alaska" dessert, which consists of vanilla ice-cream topped with a warm meringue. Beware it gets noisy in such a large dining room, but we did not mind. After all, it is expected when you dine in the Meatpacking District on a Friday or Saturday night.Special Features:
- Great Ambiance, we enjoyedRosieDined on 3/14/2014Great Ambiance, we enjoyed the appetizers immensely especially the kale salad and quail, the crispy cauliflower and octopus were also good. The pork shoulder was too salty and a bit mushy(maybe they had an off night with this), my dessert, a lemon tart was delicious. Through out the meal it felt like we were being rushed, overly zealous wait staff whizzed by our table on no less than three occasions to try and scoop up plates that we were still eating from. It's a delicate balance, I think they were attempting to be attentive but they need to chill a bit and let people enjoy their food. Again rushed, our bill was presented WITH dessert while all of our wine glasses were still half full that's not the note that I wanted to leave on.Special Features:
- MehPizlDined on 3/14/2014Don't get me wrong, the food is good. The octopus app was especially delicious. But after only an hour, my date and I noticed that everyone that came to the table was trying to hurry us out.Special Features:
- Only got as far as the baryumyum88Dined on 3/7/2014I apologize but there is no other word to properly express my experience with the Monarch Room. We arrived 5-10 minutes before our reservation and was directed to coat check and then escorted through the main doors and that was about it. We assumed someone would come and let us know when our table was ready, so we ordered drinks at the bar. After 20 minutes, we went to the hostess in the front and was told our table should be ready soon. After 45 minutes of waiting and absolutely no assurance that we would be seated or any thing from your employees, we decided to leave. As we left, I told the waitress we would not be needing our reservation anymore and was simply told Good Bye.
- The New Culture of Manhattan DiningfoodieNYCVIPDined on 3/7/2014Such a beautiful space and elegant but casual crowd. The food is delicious and well presented; try the grilled octopus and the pork shoulder! The drinks were perfect, the 'north of the border' being our favorite, and the service was friendly and paced for a great experience. The Monarch Room is trendy yet respectful and in it for the long haul. We are looking forward to returning often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hot spotFashionFriendVIPDined on 3/7/2014The monarch room is a place to see and be seen. The sock decor and yummy cocktails give you an appetite for the finer things in life! Good for groups or an intimate dinner for 2. The food was outstanding - the real reason you can keep going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- absolutely loved Monarch RoomOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 2/26/2014absolutely loved Monarch Room so much so that I booked another table. highly recommend the crudo's, octopus, gnocchi and cauliflower. great place for groups. psyched to have a new place to go...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NOTHING GOOD ABOUT THIS PLACE!OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 2/22/2014Had a 10 pm reservation for dinner, did not get seated until 11:30, and that was with the help of getting everyone from the GM to the owner involved. The hostess looked like she was ready to cry, the waiter was not only rude but borderline schizophrenic, and if only the food would make up for all that, but unfortunately for us it didn't. Everything was over cooked, greasy and at times stale. I don't understand how this place can go so wrong. Definitely will not be returning, EVER!
- Butterflies are the new blackInstafoodieVIPDined on 2/15/2014Great new addition to the MEPA disctrict. Service was great, food was equally good and TMR offered a very attractive scene. Anthony (the maître d), kept the kitchen open past 12 for us on V day from running late to our 11:30 res--which was too damn cool. Thanks guys!Special Features:
- Fun for a dressed up nightOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2014Fun for a dressed up night out in meatpacking, service was good, food was okay but over priced. Overall a good experience and atmosphere, would return but not rushing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Supposedly trendyWeeknightDined on 2/12/2014Not quite there yet, note enough ambience, too much open space in the front. Menu isn't perfected, had to send back a dish. Could possibly hit it off as it has a lot of potential. Cool doors, cool room, room decor is great, love the ceiling, rare to go to a ny spot that is completely new. I get the look, but needs finishing touches to make it look more "done" or "finished" even if that's flowers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Despite having confirmed bookingC1234Dined on 2/10/2014Despite having confirmed booking in writing, on arrival, the restaurant was closed for a private function. Said they hadn't been able to contact me as they could not dial an International number! Not impressed. Assume no access to email either......
- Slow but deliciousWonderfulVIPDined on 2/8/2014Everything was delicious that we ordered and the staff was very accommodating and apologetic when the food took FOREVER to come out - even drinks and bread took an absurd about of time to come but I guess it's expected of a new place. Will go back in a few months once the kitchen can get their act together.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

It's a real plus that Cedric gives great support to the extent that he did some work on my database to get this working within the limitations of my server set-up.
On the downside, for me, his web site is in French and he admits on the help screens that his own English is not the best. Some of the back end is not translated but you can probably manage to figure that out. Most of the fields are obvious.
I had some problems finding installation instructions on his (French) site. Google translate doesn't do such a good job and there are many other extensions there (how does he support them all!). Forum support is in English for the most part.
I may have missed it but I would have liked a step-by-step install and set up instruction sheet. It was not intuitive for me to figure out the way that you need to set up the fields in Community Builder and the way that maps, users list and markers to all work together.
Given this small criticism the result is amazing: If it's all working 'as designed', users fill in their details as they register and they are auto-magically geocoded into Community Builder and a map appears on their profile page showing their position.
You can also have a separate map on your Joomla! web site showing all your registered users displayed with custom click-able icons on a map, with a summary of their profile details in a pop-up. Click on the link and their profile in CB opens up.
I can't criticise someone for not speaking English. My French is terrible.
It a fantastic add on.
(...and a great cheeky idea offering a discount on the next purchase in exchange for an honest review!...)
The current version contains now a step by step statup guide.
I have see that some texts are not translates in english, I will add this in next release.

I've decided to dedicate one blog a week to share from my heart with family, friends, and the online world…so tune in…here it is…
From here on this blog will be here as a scroll of inspiration. In hopes to awaken, uplift, and inspire others to their full potentials and power within. We are all on a journey across this world and no matter where we are at, what road we are walking, which way we see the world, or what we do, we were all born as an innocent child from the womb of a woman. Together our mother and fathers union was able to create a seed, and over time it has blossomed into who we are today. There is no one, and no one way that is right for your journey or path. The more we look outside for the answers the more we dance around through every which way, only to again lead us back to our selves again.
You are a powerful person who can become and achieve greatness across this world. That greatness and achievement will be something completely different for each person. But remember you are the answer to your every question. So no matter what your told or what you hear, ask yourself, because you already know, it's just a matter of being reminded and remembering. We are all part of an energy and a force of creation, we are drops in an ocean of endless stories and possibilities that are being created, born, and put to rest, each day. Questions create answers…inquire within and begin to listen, and hear. I can speak these words…but it doesn't mean that I know it all, or even a fraction, or that I live by it 100% every step. But what it means is that I am remembering, and that I'm ready for more then what we have been schooled to believe is the only way. The integration of the lessons we learn sometimes takes lots of time. Often our mind understands the concept prior to us actually embodying and fully being what we have learned. But conscious awareness is the first step to change. My question for everyone is what is your purpose? What is your gift that you want to share with others? What is your gift you want to give back to the earth? What is your gift you want to leave for the next generations? If life and the "present" moment is a gift that is given to us, then surly we all must have gifts to give back to life and each other.
I am learning and remembering the answers and pieces to the questions above. As of now I feel my purpose is to be bright, loving, energetic, forgiving, compassionate, kind, creative, and happy. To inspire creativity, and freedom of exploration. To break old patterns and boundaries. To work with storytelling through words, images, films, music, to collaborate and be part of communities of others around the world who are weaving together a story through sound, ancient teachings, and creative innovative ways. To respect others and the paths they walk and learn to truly connect with self and the path that is true to me. To feed the hungry searching spirit with the power and connection that exists now and here for each and every one of us. So we can move from a world of reacting to what is thrown our way and the stories of hate, pain, blame, shame, guilt, and suffering that exist and instead hold strong in our roots to the person we are and the stories we want to create. We cant control what comes our way, whether seen as negative or positive, but we can control how we react to the situation. My gift to the earth is honor and respect. To appreciate and really take time to be aware of how lucky I am to be gifted with water, foods, and medicines. To really see how much this earth gives to us, all we would ever need to survive and thrive. I wish to protect her resources in any way I can, I wish to plant seeds and dreams and take care of her so that we can leave her healthy and fruiting as a gift for the next generations. To help carve a healthy, abundant path for the children coming, to allow kids to have dreams and to believe that they can live them. I am sure as the days go by, Ill discover and learn more and my purpose and vision will blossom and unfold. But these are the seeds and the small sprouts that I am sharing with you now. The future is a great mystery, a gift, an opportunity, but here and now is all we have, all we are, and we have chosen and created it to be as it is. So I honor and thank the world, the universe, the spirit, god, energy, love, what ever words you understand…but remember words can be used but its truly what is behind the words that matters. The intention. The seed.
Here is a story shared from a lovely mentor and friend that inspired me to remember the importance of acceptance for we never know why certain things happen…
Maybe Good Maybe Bad
A man and his horse lived on a farm in a small country town. Each day the man and the horse would plough the fields and spend hours rounding up crops and work that needed to be done around the property. One day the horse, so desperately seeking freedom, broke free and ran across the field. He busted through the fence and took off over the horizon. The man sat in his home that night and the towns' people came to visit. "Wow this is terrible news" "Your horse is gone and now you will have no way to plough your fields, and the work will be 10 times harder." Said the towns people…"Mmm maybe good, maybe bad" replied the man. "What do you mean!" Exclaimed the town's people. " How could this be good?!" The towns' people shook their heads and left in confusion.
For the next few weeks the man and his son worked 10 times harder ploughing the fields all on their own. One morning as they begun working they looked towards the horizon and there was the horse running over the field. He had returned. Behind him followed 3 other horses. That night the town's people came back over. " Wow what amazing news, your horse has returned and now you have three more working horses." "Mmmm maybe good, maybe bad." Said the man. "What do you mean!?" Exclaimed the town's people. "You will have so much free time as you will be able to plough the fields much faster with 3 times the help." The towns people again left with confusion.
The next day the man begun to work with his son in the fields. All 4 horses were working hard. After a while the wild free horse was tired of behind tied down and told what to, so he begun to buck and kick and he bucked the mans son high in the air. The boy fell and broke every bone in his body. The horse took off and ran away. That night the town's people came over and said " Wow this is the most terrible news we have heard." "Your poor son." "Mmmm maybe good, maybe bad." Said the man. This time the town's people got very angry. They said " You know what, we are sick and tired of your maybe good, maybe bad, your son has broken every bone in his body. This is terrible news." They took off in a fury.
A week later the army put out a call for every young man in town to take off for war. They knocked on each door and rounded up each and every son. The man's son was unable to head off to war because he was bandaged from head to toe. The sons that took off for war never again returned. Months later the town's people came over to visit the old man. They sat down and said…"Now we understand what you meant by Mmmm maybe good, maybe bad…"

What's in a name? Lagavulin Feis Ile 2012 whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Lagavulin Feis Ile 2012 whiskey, rather than whisky.
Nose: Faint and light smoke with hints of vanilla pod and a smattering of citrus peel. A waxiness that brings to mind crayons.
Palate: A smooth and creamy mouthfeel—the smokes creeps through the creaminess and brings with it a bit of white pepper.
Finish: Pleasantly drying with long warmth.
Overall: Incredibly smooth for a cask strength bottling. Very easy drinking, balanced, and not overwhelmed by the smoke.

The Power Of Perspective
So, we're told that our appetite for more stuff is being whetted by our expanding reference groups. The lifestyle of more prosperous friends, colleagues and even "TV acquaintances" form the vortex of excessive spending. Experts counsel us to shrink our reference groups, when at all possible, to include only those who share our financial profile.
I couldn't disagree more. In fact, I advise you to do exactly the opposite: Expand your reference group as much as possible.
Look around the room. Include everyone.
There is no more potent antidote for the disease of envy than a dose of perspective.
Have you seen what's happening in North Africa? Haiti? Rural China?
From extreme poverty to military rule to the institutionalized abuse of women to non-existent health care - the problems that billions of our world's citizens face daily should shine a light on just how fortunate we are. Note the word "should." Somehow, though, we've lost perspective and seem oblivious to the more important facts: As Canadians, we won the country-of-residence lottery. We live in a prosperous, democratic, peaceful and beautiful nation. Our lives, by all but one standard, are incredibly rich. Sadly, that one standard - the opulent lifestyle of the very few who have more than we do - is often the only one on which we focus.
Bluntly, too often we treat the non-possession of what most of the world would consider an extreme-luxury item as an unjust deprivation.
Is it really that big a deal that your friend at work has a 32-jet, six-person hot tub and you don't? Nine hundred million people across the globe don't have on going access to safe drinking water.
Frustrated that you can't locate a high-speed wireless connection? Remind yourself that more than a billion people don't have electricity.
Annoyed that you don't have stainless-steel appliances? Keep in mind that one in six people in the world goes to bed hungry every night.
Our pets live more comfortably than half the Earth's population, for heaven's sake.
We obsess so much about what we don't have that it affects our ability to enjoy what we do have.
At a luncheon where I was speaking recently, one of the men seated at my table was nearly apoplectic because the TV's in his new, state-of-the-art SUV weren't high definition. What do you say to something like that? Perhaps we should divert international aid to address the problem so that he and his family won't have to suffer any longer.
We should expand our reference groups not only to include the less fortunate throughout the world, but also to encourage those who have gone before us.
Many Canadians are completely out of touch with how much our lives have improved over time. These are "the good old days"! It drives me crazy that people can't see that. Even the most optimistic economist of the 1970s. Julian Simon, didn't forecast the incredible bounty that has come our way. We're livin' the dream, as the kids say.
Let's look at a few quick examples, starting with our grocery stores. Amazing foods from all over the world are now at our fingertips. Nothing, not even berries, ever seem to be out of season. The selection in every aisle is nuts - including nuts themselves. In the peanut category alone, you can choose from salted, unsalted, roasted, dry-roasted, unroasted, butter-roasted, honey-roasted, shelled, unshelled, sugar-coated, yogurt-coated, chocolate-coated, hot 'n' spicy, bold 'n' zesty, smoky hickory, jalapeno-scented, barbecue, garlic and chili and believe in or not, the list goes on. How spoiled are we? Frozen entrees actually taste like real food now (remember the original Salisbury steak?). Salads come prewashed and ready to serve. We can buy fresh lobster in my landlocked hometown, Kitchener-Waterloo. Insane. Yet, somehow, food costs (as a percentage of our income) have trended down over the last century. Better quality. Higher safety standards. More variety. Healthy alternatives. Lower costs. Wow, there must be something to gripe about. Oh, that's right - my store still doesn't stock that thin-crust, multi-grain, low-sodium, nut-free, organic barbecue-chicken pizza that I tasted last week at my sister's place. How will I survive?
What about cars? They're unbelievable nowadays. Tires almost never go flat and when they do, some can re-inflate themselves. Who comes up with this stuff? You can buy cars now that will even parallel park on their own. Yes, on their own! Sign me up - I won't have to hold up traffic for 20 minutes anymore. Air bags. Better fuel efficiency. Anti-lock brakes. Power everything. High-end stereos. Navigation systems. Are you kidding me? Still not enough for some, though. I complimented a friend on how cool his heated seats were (so to speak) and he responded, "I guess, but I really wish I had a heated steering wheel." Hey. tough it out, big fella.
TVs? What can I say? High definition Large, plasma screens. Hundreds of channels. There's a channel specifically for golf. For food. For the stock market. For the Leafs. The Leafs? And what about the remote? Man, what an ace invention. Have you ever been in an hotel room and your remote doesn't work? You go into complete and utter shock and just keep pointing, pressing and panicking. Move five feet to change the channels? That's crazy talk! Think of the TV's 40 years ago. Many were still black and white. We got three channels: CBC, CTV and the same CBC broadcast but from another tower. Heck, the dial only had 13 options on it and channel 1 was UHF. I know now that UHF stands for Ultra High Frequency, but when I was a kid I assumed it meant Unbelievably Hard to Focus. The reception, even on the "good" channels, seemed to go snowy every time Mannix or Ironside was about to catch the bad guy. We'd force Mom to adjust the bunny ears with a metal coat hanger in her mouth - hey, whatever it took. Now people lose it when their PVRs miss taping the first 30 seconds of American Idol. The tragedy of it all.
How about phones? When I was a kid, we has a rotary phone. It took six minutes to dial someone. Plus, it seemed like everybody's numbers ended in a zero. If your fingers slipped on that all-but-impossible loop of glory, you had to start the whole process over. Long distance was so expensive, it was viewed as a special treat. When friends flew to a vacation down south, which was a very rare occurrence, we'd all be nervous about the safety of the "metal birds." To let us know they had arrived unharmed, our pals would call us at a predetermined time, let the phone ring twice and then hang up. "Woohoo! Tom and Mary made it!" we'd yell in celebration. How silly does that seem now? Plan B was more hysterical. Tom would call collect and have the operator ask for Gertrude. "Sorry, wrong number," we'd deceitfully reply, as thrilled about outsmarting Ma Bell as by our friends' safe arrival. Party lines? Pay phones? Calling cards? They all seem antiquated in these days of phones that are smarter than we are. Almost everyone now carries a powerful minicomputer that allows him or her to reach anybody, anywhere, anytime at a reasonably low cost. These dynamic devices also often serve as cameras, daily planners, jukeboxes, video-game consoles and Internet portals and run a bunch of apps that I'll never understand. We have the world in the palm of our hands - literally.
Think about all of this. Don't take it for granted. It's mind-boggling but true that the average Canadian lives a much better life than did the kings and queens of wealthy empires just decades ago. That's decades, not centuries.
Harold Coffin, the late Associated Press columnist, noted: "Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of counting your own." It sounds corny, but most of the people I've known who are adept at living within their means don't make that mistake. They have perspective and fully grasp how lucky they are to be right here, right now. From that knowledge flows gratitude. Obviously, people who are truly thankful for what they do have are less likely to focus on what they don't have. That goes a long way towards controlling spending.
Cicero had some great thoughts of the importance of gratitude and perspective, yet the most insightful line on the subject comes not from the Roman philosopher, but from one of my Mom's favorites, 1950s actress and singer Doris Day: "Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty."
That's my all-time favorite financial quote.

I tried to run Sibelius 4 from within terminal services and i could not get it to work, all the graphics would come up screwy.
Is it possible to run Sibelius 4 on a Terminal Server from thin clients, without losing any functionality?
We are going to be installing a new music room and would like to know if Sibelius will work in this manner, as we are going with thin clients in other departments.
I tried to run Sibelius 4 from within terminal services and i could not get it to work, all the graphics would come up screwy.
Hmmm ... Quackers. Did you manage to get any sound out of the terminal session?
We got the graphics working OK ... its our sound that doesn't work
What Thin clents are you using? & how are you porting out to the clients (Citrix, RDP, etc)
Never got that far, could not read the buttons.Originally Posted by Marvintpa
IGEL Winestra Thin Clients
Using Ericom Power Term WebConnect
Its a Citrix lookylikey
I would have thought that you would struggle doing some of the advanced stuff (if not everything) because of the heavy use of MIDI.
The Igel Winestra terminals are fairly good machines, but the sound is limited.
I have some of these machines, but can't remember ever getting the sound to work.
What sort of age are your machines? I think ours are about 5 - 6 years old now. Not even USB is supported.
Is it possible to run Sibelius 4 on a Terminal Server from thin clients?
No. Well yes probably but not really. Music apps are not designed for thin clients, infact music apps are not designed for networks, period. Thats why most music depts have relaxed policies allowing you to work locally then save up to the network when your finished.
If your still unsure try to RDP to a fat client with a music app installed, you'll soon realise how pointless trying the thinclients will be.
sibelius is a music notation software (like rosegarden), it's not a full on music production softeware - so I don't really see to much of an issue of it running on TC, depending upon how it was being used. (i didn't try it though)
@Cybernerd: Siblius DOES use full MIDI and does magical musical things... I guess one thing to try is a demo file... if that doesn't work noting will.
Most of my network is thin client but Music has fat clients because of what they do - half of them are Macs.
Yes same here. Infact music are mostly still using Acorns (if you can believe that) with midi cards. Only one PC in music.
Never tried any sort of music prog on the thin client system. Thin clients are restricted on sound & it may depend on your servers spec as well.
I would imagine if you did get it working (and I doubt that very much - how does MIDI redirecting work in TC?) you'll get huge latency, especially if using kontakt player. The latest version (Sibelius 5) also introduces virtual synths, that'll be a defintie no for TC then!
Music APPs IMO are best kept for fat clients
In the end we went for standard PCs in the room. We wouldn't be able to get the functionality, or the support from Sieblius if we used Terminal Services.
We are looking into a new network for the music department. Now im not sure about how it works at all any more (Citrix). Initally 8yrs ago at school I was under the impression that dumb terminals are used.. screen, keyboard and mouse then a beefed up server provides the GUI and processing etc or was that only UNIX mainframe gubbins?
Although im looking at solutions whereby windows workstations are running like a remote desktop into the server. So a normal workstation running XP does nothing and the server still provides the processing. I figure whats the point of that?
We need a space saving solution as there is about 60cm's either side of the keyboards to place the new workstations. Could anybody please advice me on how it works these days?
I would really appreciate it
Thank you!!!1

Forever 21 shirt-Injustice? or not….
Frankly, I don't find this an injustice. Honestly, its just a shirt. It doesn't matter if your dark skin, light skin, mexican, brazilian, british..etc. We should all love our hair! I highly doubt this shirt is to be specifically marketed to black females. I am not intetionally undermining the fact that the girl is seemingly lighter than the original one from the video. But honestly, it's not an issue unless you make it an issue for yourself. Black women aren't the only ones with curly hair. Its a cute shirt, and I would by it guiltless.
I am more proud of the fact that black women all around are accepting the hair that grows out of their head. I also find it ignorant when people try to hate on those black women that continue to relax their hair. Do what you want, its YOUR hair. I've come to embrace it all. Relaxed hair is just as apart of African-American culture as natural hair is coming to be. I'm okay with that.
Any thoughts?

Drones are being tested in some locales
This 3D model of a water control structure was created using photographs from aerial-based sensors on an unmanned aerial system (drone).
Will we be seeing drones delivering packages in the future?
Photo: MULTIROTOR service-drone.com USA LLC

Trimble UX5 Aerial Imaging Solution (fixed-wing drone).
In addition to a human operator, drones rely on external infrastructure such as GPS and tight network connectivity to a ground station to fly.
From reducing the risks of dangerous work to finding people lost in the woods to simplifying surveying and mapping tasks, a congressional mandate to integrate U.S. airspace with robotic aircraft by September 2015 has public operations excited about the possibilities.
Also known as unmanned aerial vehicles or unmanned aircraft systems, most people associate drones with either model airplane enthusiasts or military and counter-terrorism programs, with the latter including the larger armed or spy drones. This is because, with the exception of hobbyists and the armed forces, drones haven't been allowed to fly in the U.S. except with special permission from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
But the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 has the agency busy working to integrate drones safely into domestic airspace, starting with public entities. So far, the FAA has granted an estimated 600 Certificates of Authorization/Waiver (COAs) to agencies—mostly federal, police, and fire—to train operators to use unmanned aircraft.
The rules for public agencies are essentially the same as for hobbyists: No flying above 400 feet, at night, over heavily populated areas, and near airports or manned aircraft. Drones must remain in sight of operators.
