There's a new trend in dining-out across the U.S.: the Community Cafe, where the driving philosophy is a sustainable world where all may eat. One such eatery in Highland Park, New Jersey, A Better World Cafe (BWC), began serving sumptuous, healthy food in autumn of 2009. Housed in the Quilt Room of the Reformed Church of Highland Park, BWC serves lunch each weekday to a diverse crowd of diners.
Enter the back door of the sprawling church building and follow the hallway signs to the cafe. If you get there early enough you won't have to wait on a long queue, but don't fret if you do – the food is well worth it. The menu includes sandwiches, hot meals, salads, soups, and desserts made from locally sourced and often organic ingredients. There is always one "community dish†which you may enjoy for free, and plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. A friendly volunteer or staffer will serve your food cafeteria-style and, here's the best part, you choose your portion, and pay accordingly, hence no wasted food. "Super-size me†is not the philosophy at BWC!
When you pay for your meal, the cashier will tell you the "suggested†price. You can pay a little extra to help to feed someone who may not have the means that day. I usually round it up – seems fair as the meal is always reasonably priced. My typical lunch at BWC will cost about $6.00 for my perfect, not to mention delicious, portion.
My personal favorite dish is their signature Better World Salad, made from shredded cabbage and other seasonal veg, brown rice, cubes of tofu, sesame dressing, and topped with toasted slivered almonds. Another favorite is the toasted panini sandwich with cheddar cheese and garlicky greens – yum!
Better World Cafe is a social enterprise partnership between Elijah's Promise and Who Is My Neighbor? Inc. Many of the folks working in BWC's kitchen have been professionally trained at Promise Culinary School (also the source of BWC's baked goods) while others volunteer their time either in exchange for a meal or just because they want to.
A few words with Chef Rachel
I caught up with Better World Cafe's executive chef, Rachel Weston and asked her a few questions.
LE: How did you get involved with A Better World Cafe?
RW: I had made a career change and attended Promise Culinary School. When I graduated I became a member of the advisory board that was planning and organizing the soon-to-be-opened cafe. This role involved everything from selecting low VOC paints to testing recipes for the cafe's menu. In August of 2009 I was hired to manage the cafe, which opened the following October.
LE: What's on today's menu?
RW: Vegan minestrone, turkey sandwich with pesto, portobello mushroom sandwich with goat cheese, Better World salad, quinoa salad, broccoli slaw, apple crisp, vegan chocolate coconut cookies, etc. Last Friday we had roasted eggplant boats stuffed with quinoa and tomorrow's menu will include chicken pot pie.
LE: In what way does a "community cafe" aid the environment?
RW: In the case of BWC, it's a green business. For example, all the "to go" materials are biodegradable, including the cutlery (corn-based plastic), we don't sell bottled water, and we always offers vegetarian and vegan food choices [as evidenced in the menu above]. Because of the fact that customers choose their portions, there is very little wasted food and all the food waste is composted. Foods that are abundant in the summer (such as tomatoes and strawberries) are prepped and frozen for use in the winter.
Community Cafes across the U.S.
The community cafe trend is on a definite upswing! A few others in the U.S. include:
- Ransom Community Cafe in Mobile, AL
- SAME (So All May Eat) Cafe in Denver, CO
- One World Cafe in Salt Lake City, Utah
- Soul Kitchen in Red Bank, NJ
- Credo Cafe in Orlando, FL and (and coming to Austin, TX)
A comprehensive list of both open and planned establishments can be found here.
Community cafes are popping up in England as well – I'll be sure to visit one during my upcoming trip to London.
Finally, for a quick look inside BWC, check out this video from News for Good:

2 - Bright and looks slightly oily
It has a great coverage for daily use, and there is no need to use additional concealer. This is a good thing. But however, after long time of application, face gets super slick oil and bright. It's kinda slightly annoying but good thing is to use mattifier primer prior to it.

Debt sustainability in Germany: empirical evidence for federal states
This paper studies whether the public debt policies of former West German states from 1975 until 2006 were sustainable. We test if the primary surplus relative to GDP is a positive function of the public debt to GDP ratio where we allow for time-varying reaction coefficients by resorting to penalised spline estimation. We also perform stationarity tests with respect to the real budget deficit to gain additional insights. Our analysis suggests that two groups of states can be distinguished, one with states that seem to pursue sustainable debt policies. However, with one exception, even those states are characterised by rising debt to GDP ratios, which is not compatible with sustainability in the long run. For the other group, sustainability can be stated only at a low-significance level or does not seem to be given at all. Thus, all states in the second group should put much more emphasis on stabilising debt.

Remake Your New Home With Trendy Central Heating Radiatorss
If you've just moved into a home with central heating that's a few years old, you should look into upgrading the system. Providing the boiler and pump are in good order, then the smart move would be just to replace your radiators. Not only will this make your home warmer and more energy efficient, but if you choose correctly, it could transform the whole ambience of the place and help create your dream home.
Central heating radiators have undergone something of a renaissance in the last decade or so. In line with people's aspirations to create beautiful and unique homes that match their taste and lifestyle, the radiator has not been forgotten.

Cheap Shower Filters
I was recently talking to a friend of mine who is a plumber in North New Jersey, his website is here, and he was telling me about shower filters and how you can go for cheap ones and still get your money's worth
Are you sure that taking a shower ensures your cleanliness and protection against the germs and bacteria moving around in the atmosphere? Not really? Nowadays, shower filters are gaining popularity to maintain the cleanliness and appropriate consumable water to protect us from various ailments and diseases. As a means to make water suitable for bathing, shower filters are used to cut the extra chlorine diluted in the water.
Our body consumes more of chlorine while taking a bath as our body pours easily soaks this excess chlorine from the water and together with other infected chemicals, affects us terribly. Therefore, lack of a shower filter does not make us feel that we are actually paving the way for our skins and other medical problems. A good shower filter can cut the presence of chlorine chemical by 90 percent and thus protecting the condition of the body from different problems that may pain you badly. Therefore, the demand for clean shower filters are a must need equipment in this hectic and busy life.
Skin problems and allergies are causing a serious threat to the body when contacted with chlorine, the chief destroyer of skin in the body. It also causes various rashes and pigments on skin and makes the situation worse. With the fluctuations in temperature during winters, the excess intake of chlorine makes the skin more irritable and with crack. Further it may also develop some kind of acne on skin that is really painful and embarrassing sometimes. A good shower filter ensures the right quantity of this deadly chlorine while exposed in abundance in usage.
The ill-effects of chlorine also raise the chances of several cancers in the body. Due to the controlling effects of shower filters, the formation and spread of cancers can be stopped effectively. Not only this, the health of hairs too deeply effected with the amount of chlorine in the body. The cooling and beneficial shower filter can lower down the fall of hairs and maintain its original shine and glow for a longer period of time. Thus, a shower filter is also desirable for maintaining the quality of hairs. Besides, these filters can also stop the intake of dangerous minerals such as lead to go into the lungs and create problems. People suffering from asthma and other respiratory diseases can be also benefited from it too.

Design Concepts for Your Kitchen
I was checking out some pages on HGTV.com and I was inspired to write this post about bathroom interior decorating.
Remodeling your bathroom doesn't have to mean breaking the bank or taking out a second mortgage on your home, but what it does mean is a well thought out master plan, some drawings and a calculator. Think in terms of an artist starting out with a blank canvas, he or she has their own unique design concepts for what they perceive as art. Creating your dream bathroom takes on a similar approach in that we must first decide on look we are trying to achieve.
With several design platforms to choose from starting with the century old Victorian bathroom that were characterized by claw-footed roll top baths, sculpted pedestal basins, free standing showers enclosures and sometimes a matching bidet.
Today's modern bathrooms are depicted by the ever changing styles from year-to-year. Recent modern designs include sleek, straight and geometric lines with white remaining the prevalent choice in bathroom furnishings sporting ultra mod bath and basin mixer taps in polished chrome.
Depending on the size of bathroom, keep in mind that less is best in the way of accessorizing. Over powering the look of the bathrooms with numerous accessories tends to make a small room appear even smaller unless you are utilizing bathroom mirrors which lends way to a more open space. On the other hand when working with a large area, modern bathroom accessories are a welcomed addition to give the bathroom a finished look.
Traditional bathrooms tend to focus more on architectural details bringing nature inside. With the inspired look of wood such as oak, maple, and beech shelves and cabinets, wood finishes enhance the mood by giving the bathroom a warm earthy tone, similar to a country or rustic looking bathroom.
Once you have selected the style of bathroom, think about how you will be using the space. When it comes to function and space planning, calculate the dimension of the bathroom this will also help you to decide on the type of bathroom furniture pieces you can place within a designated area. Assess your bathroom storage needs, will you need a bathroom cabinet, shelving or vanity. For smaller bathrooms a minimalist style means honing in on crucial space and utilizing it in order create a clutter free bathroom ensuring the bathroom furniture has strong clean lines and is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
Look at several bathrooms designs, with several hundred bathroom design ideas available on the internet choosing a style that fits your style, space and budget can be simple and a pleasurable task. The key element that has to be taken into account is budget, keeping in mind if you are not a do-it- yourself (DIY) person, then it is best to leave the job up to a professionals even though this will cut into your bathroom budget, you are guaranteed the job will be done right. For the DIY's, making mistakes can be equally costly not to mention frustrating if your plans were not carefully thought out especially when it comes to the plumbing and electrical supply within your bathroom space. According to renovating and contracting firms when homeowners decide to remodel their bathrooms themselves they see a bathroom suite they want, purchase it, and get it home only to run into complications. People forget when transitioning from a standard bath to a whirlpool bath there are several critical factors that must be considered like plumbing, hot water heaters, and floor supports. Bathroom floors are built to bear the weight of a standard bathtub not whirlpool spa baths. Today's custom homes will accommodate most luxury tubs, but floor joists may require reinforcement in older homes if the tub is oversized especially whirlpool baths. Whirlpool baths have the water capacity of up to 80 gallons, if the proper hot water tank is not installed it will result in tepid bathwater taking away the enjoyment and purpose of a whirlpool bath.
How to Increase the Value of Your Home Today
Selling your home can often be a stressful occasion. Everyone wants to make sure that they can sell their house for at least as much as they paid for it. Sometimes, people go to great trouble to fix up their homes to make sure they sell for a good price. People replace windows, roofs, furnaces, even plumbing. These are all costly renovations, and are often unnecessary. There are many small and inexpensive changes you can make to your home that will raise its resale value. Consider these ideas:
Paint every space in your house that you think could use freshening up. If you want a space to look bigger, such as a living room or closet, use a light color, or white. Although painting is time-consuming, it is quite inexpensive, and helps to make a house look new again.
Check out the exterior of your house, including the yard; are there changes you could make here to improve its curb appeal? Paint trim and any steps or railings that look worn out, replace or repaint house numbers and light fixtures, and trim any hedges or bushes in your yard. Keep your grass cut and, even if you don't have a flower garden, consider buying a pot or hanging basket of flowers to add color to your home's entrance. You might even want to buy a welcome mat!
The kitchen and bathroom are two rooms you will want to pay special attention to. Make sure they are spotless. Are all of your lights and electrical outlets working? Do you need to add more to make the rooms brighter and more accessible? If you are unable to do these jobs on your own, ask an electrician to do it for you. Although it will cost more, you will know that everything works; also, extra lighting and outlets really do increase the value of a room in the eyes of potential home buyers.
Take a look at the flooring in your home. Are there rips or stains in linoleum or carpet? Are hardwood floors looking dull? Have all of your carpets cleaned. You can rent a carpet cleaner for a good price from a local home hardware or grocery store. If your carpet is damaged, you may be able to patch it if the spot is small. Linoleum is quite inexpensive, and easy to install. Clean and polish all hardwood floors.
Finally, before potential home buyers arrive to look through your house, add the finishing touches. Put fresh towels in the bathrooms and kitchen. Tidy closets, and make sure no newspapers or bills are lying out. Wipe down counters. Light a candle or two and put on some quiet music. Make sure all pets are out of the way. By following these tips, your home will be sold before you know it, and the selling price will put a smile on your face!
10 Surefire Ways to Avoid Common DIY Home Improvement Mistakes
Ask people who have completed do-it-yourself projects and they'll tell you that the projects took at least twice and much time and three times the money they thought they would. The basic reason is that DIYers usually make a lot of mistakes that end up making home improvement projects more expensive and time-consuming.
Here are 10 surefire ways to avoid the top DIY home improvement mistakes in the future and ensure success.
1. Take out the required permits — it's amazing how many DIYers skip this step. Sure, it takes time, and it means you have to deal with the government, but it's actually in your best interest to make sure get the required home improvement permits. The folks in the permitting office will make sure the project is done correctly and that you stay safe in the process. Also, for some projects, you'll need proof that you have a permit or your insurance company won't cover the improvement. You'll probably need a permit for any project larger than wallpapering and painting. If you're unsure, call your local building department and ask.
2. Have all the tools and materials you need available before you start your project — starting a job without the necessary tools and supplies will slow down the job and delay your progress. And make sure you buy quality tools. They're a wise investment.
3. Prepare the job site for material deliveries — when your suppliers and plumbers deliver materials, you'll want to make sure the job site is ready to accept them. You don't want your materials exposed to the weather while you are working and you want to have a storage area to prevent theft.
4. Don't skimp on materials — for example, don't use 1/4-inch drywall for building walls. Use at at least 5/8-inch; and 3/4-inch works well for a good sound barrier. Use 3/4-inch plywood for sub-floors. It creates a much stronger floor.
5. Prepare the walls for painting — clean the walls, sand them and patch any holes before you paint. Use a coat of primer or stain blocker if you're trying to cover over oil-based paint, stains or peeling paint, or if you're painting a lighter color over a darker color.
6. Use the correct paint — use flat paint ceilings. Interior paints should have at least an eggshell or satin finish so you can scrub it. For outdoor decks, use a linseed-oil-based stain to drive the pigment into the wood and preserve it.
7. Keep safe while working — you don't want to end up in the emergency room. Wear safety goggles when using power tools or working with drywall or wood. Wear a hard hat when you're working under other people on scaffolding, and open some windows when you're painting or staining, or stripping old finishes off of floors or walls. Don't wear loose, hanging clothing, especially when using power tools. Wear gloves when carrying wood, metal and rock, or when hammering, and wear a nail or tool pouch to prevent damage to your floors, feet, and pets.
8. Measure twice and cut once — probably the most important rule of any project. If you're going to make a mistake, make it too long. You can always make something shorter. You can't make it longer.
9. Know the limits of your abilities — you're not going to be good at everything. If you don't have a lot of experience at plumbing or electrical work, for instance, don't attempt those projects.
10. Don't start to learn how to do a project on your own house — If you want to learn how to do a project, offer your assistance to a friend who is an experienced DIYer or a professional clifton NJ plumber contractor. And if you have any question about what you're doing, make sure you stop and ask.
You probably won't eliminate all of your DIY home improvement mistakes, but you can surely reduce them with these 10 tips.

So I'm back, sorta- I know I haven't posted in a long time, but I'm writing poetry again.
What's to come:
More poems
And a series of sonnets I'm calling the "Nell'amore" sonnets.
Hope you guys like it!
And In Short It Was BeautifulThe sun wasn't set, yet it was tired,And In Short It Was Beautiful by lyricalwakeman
Causing the sky to tease us with colors.
We saw the endless Hudson
And its inevitable end.
We saw the George Washington bridge,
And the builders who made it.
There was the pier, and the crane.
The bulldozer, and the ditch.
There was a bench
And there were flowers.
There were red lights that flickered
And red lights that refused to.
Somewhere there was another bench.
I was there somewhere too.
There was importance,
Tucked behind projectors and white walls.
There were ideas,
Spread out along a highline,
Train tracks and daffodils,
Bird feeders and dream's fodder,
They worked as workers would,
Each to each and in loving combination.
The day became long,
And at once, it was short,
Relative and potential,
The sun held her face and lifted it by the chin,
Pointer finger- illuminated
Relative and kinetic.
And in short- it was beautiful.
In short- it was beautiful.
Spring for the DoormanI will go unnoticedSpring for the Doorman by lyricalwakeman
And this is fine
I can bide my time
And make melodies from air
Pushing molecules into frequencies
To reflect the sounds in my head;
To perforate the night and the crooked bed,
And this will go unnoticed.
I will go unnoticed
And I am sure
I stand holding the door
So she can walk through with ease
And here I stand for hours,
Walking in circles, I stand without end;
I am but a friend, and all but a friend,
And this will go unnoticed.
I will go unnoticed
To her ears and eyes
I'll sing lullabies she won't hear in her dreams,
For in her dreams I hold no place.
I give no revelation or hollow inspiration,
I am but a simple expectation,
Lacking a face
So this will go unnoticed.
"Do you have the time?" I'm asked
As if I own shares in it,
Prepared to trade it for a better offer,
Maybe for a condo close to Santa Monica,
Or a snow globe with three wishes and lighthouse.
"Do you know the time?" I'm asked,
As if Time and I were old friends
Just getting back from a card game at a l
Well and NowAllow me to fold in front of youWell and Now by lyricalwakeman
Color the creases on the paper and the lines upon my chair
Let me tell you the secret only meant for your ears
From my heart straight to your ears
Covered lightly by your hair.
I do not ask for much, I swear
Simply a chance to prove I'm worthy, a self-assessed confirmation
From a diner to a swing-set,
From a night, under raindrops,
My heavy-hearted inspiration
As we dance along the rooftops.
I ask for a night in your gentle hands,
For the glimmer of a moonlit eye
As if you're contemplating what to buy,
Though you know you own the store.
I ask thee, are you the spark your father asked for?
The spark I now am looking for
To illuminate the night and open the door,
As I end a pursuit in hope for more
There are secrets I must implore
"Are you the spark I'm looking for?"
But alas, I cannot cut corners
Away I go from you with fear
Held back by burdened over thought
When simplicity draws our lines and draws near.
I shall not learn the secrets of the apple's cor
Off-PeakI once told a manOff-Peak by lyricalwakeman
To fall asleep in front of a train
Moving off-peak towards Manhattan-
Towards the city and the sun
I told him,
"Grab your pillow, grab your blanket,
And rest yourself between the tracks.
Once your bed is made, ignore everything else."
I once told a man
To fall asleep in front of a train
And he did so without hesitation-
His eyes closed tightly shut.
He rested in front of the oncoming train,
And he smiled, at last, at peace.
"I was always late for the train," he told me,
"But the train won't be late for me."

Lunch and lineups at Salt River again
[caption id="attachment_75775" align="aligncenter" width="502" caption="Learned my lesson about the press meal here during our first visit. So -- carne asada burrito from Dos Rios in the stands. Pretty good, more like a wrap than a burrito, but pricey ($9)."][/caption]
The Angels have elected to leave Joel Pineiro behind and let the right-hander make his scheduled start in a Triple-A game rather than against the Colorado Rockies. The reasoning -- easier to control his pitch count and make sure he gets up and down for six innings (today's target). Matt Palmer gets the start against the Rockies instead.
Also not in today's lineup -- Kendrys Morales. That officially closes the window on having him in the lineup on Opening Day. Angels manager Mike Scioscia did finally admit this morning that Morales will have to start the season on the DL.
"That's what's going to happen," he said. "I think it would be wrong, if he feels better in three or four days, to try to fire him up in eight days. It's just a lot to ask from a guy who needs to prepare himself for a whole season."
But there is no real timeframe for his eventual return. Even his limited running has been curtailed this week by soreness in the big toe on his left foot -- one of the "peripheral issues" Morales is dealing with, according to Scioscia, as a consequence of increasing his activity over the past five weeks.
In other injury news:
* First baseman Mark Trumbo ran the bases at full speed this morning "and everything checked out," he said. Trumbo hopes to be playing in games again Monday. He has been sidelined by a right groin/hip flexor problem since leaving Wednesday's game after one at-bat.
* Outfielder Reggie Willits continues his recovery from a strained calf muscle in his left leg but it's beginning to look like he'll have to start the season on the DL. "He's working against the clock," Scioscia said. That could open the door for Chris Pettit to make the Opening Day roster as a reserve if the Angels elect to go with five outfielders.

The Novelist PC
- Publisher: Orthogonal Games
- Release Date: Dec 10, 2013
Summary: The Novelist asks one central question: can you achieve your dreams without pushing away the people you love? The game focuses on Dan Kaplan, a novelist struggling to write the most important book of his career while trying to be the best husband and father he can be. The Kaplans have come to a remote coastal home for the summer, unaware that they're sharing the house with a mysterious ghostly presence: you. Read the family's thoughts. Explore their memories. Uncover their desires and intervene in their lives. But stay out of sight; you can't help the Kaplans if they know there's a ghost in the house. It's up to you to decide how Dan's career and family life will evolve, but choose carefully; there are no easy answers, and every choice has a cost. Dan's relationships - to his work, his wife, and his son - react and shift in response to your choices. With a different sequence of events in every playthrough, The Novelist gives life to a unique experience each time you play. The decisions you make will define the Kaplans' lives, but they may also tell you something about yourself.

The Zagat Review
Falling "in love with oysters" is almost inevitable at these compact seafooders where "insane" happy-hour deals (like the $1 bivalves) keep the business brisk; overall, it's an opportunity to "indulge a little without really breaking the bank", while sitting outside is a "huge treat" at the DuPont Circle location, or on Capitol Hill's "lovely terrace."

Law firm Goodwin Procter gears up for its move to the South Boston Innovation District
The law firm Goodwin Procter LLP has put out a video on the ground-breaking ceremony for its new offices at 100 Northern Ave. in the South Boston Innovation District.
A ground-breaking ceremony was held Wednesday for developer Joseph F. Fallon's 17-story office building, as a story in Wednesday's Globe noted. Plans call for Goodwin Procter to occupy about 75 percent of the new building.
Goodwin Procter will move to the Innovation District after spending the last century in buildings on State Street, among a concentration of legal and financial companies.
The move has the potential to move the firm closer to many of its clients. According to Goodwin Procter, it represents more than 350 local technology and life sciences companies and their investors.
The tower, which will be named after the firm, represents Goodwin's fifth office location in the city since the founding of the firm in Boston in 1912, the firm said in a press release.
The building is being designed by the architecture firm HOK.
Wednesday's ground-breaking featured remarks by Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh and Goodwin Procter chairman Regina M. Pisa.
Goodwin Procter, a firm with offices in such cities as Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, and New York, has more than 800 lawyers and support staff in its Boston office.

|Reviews for Five Birthdays
| Rachelea chapter 1 . 4/6/2015
Love the characterizations. Thanks for the heart-wrenching ending, too... :)
| librarywitch chapter 1 . 9/12/2013
Well done.
| JoyRose10 chapter 1 . 4/6/2013
Mycroft's was my favorite. He needs someone to be close to...
| FarGreenCountrySwiftSunrise chapter 1 . 12/29/2012
Really good stuff. Thanks for writing this.
| Anini mouse chapter 1 . 12/1/2012
I loved them and the last one was so sad!
| KivrinRue chapter 1 . 11/5/2011
that ending! Poor John and Lestrade!
good thing I've read the ACD Cannon, or I'd be more mad at you right now. Great story. :) I loved Molly's part. I feel so bad for her every time I re-watch the episodes again ;_; All of these were quite perfect in their own way, but I definitely found Molly's the most interesting. Thanks for posting! _
| Arisprite chapter 1 . 11/1/2011
Lovely, and at times so, so heartwrenching. Gah,, you always do this to me. Wonderful, keep up the amazing work!
| Feej chapter 1 . 11/1/2011
wow, fantastic! You take such care in making your characters come to life. I love how much you can say with so few words, and the suggestion of feelings, movements and thoughts, sketched out in mere sentences, amazing! I love all of these!
I also like the fact that you pick the unknown characters, Molly, Sarah, Mike, i love that! And even Anthea starts being a real person when you write her :)
Keep it up!
| The Red Fedora chapter 1 . 11/1/2011
very nice:) I don't think Sarah really is cut out for John. It takes a special girl to put up with the potential threat of kidnapping, eccentric detectives and a significant other in constant danger. Nice addition of Molly.
| editor frog chapter 1 . 11/1/2011
Yes, well, very well done (even the last one, and we all know what happened to ACD "after" the Reichenbach incident, don't we *wink*).
I particularly liked Molly's story; I would think that particular day would hold that earth-shattering shudder that will forever crawl through her spine.
I like the last tale too, even though we both know it doesn't "really" end as sad as you let on. Right? (*wink*)
Mycroft's was interesting, especially his assistant's note: "This isn't because I'm your assistant." Somehow, I think there's a "thing" there, that can't be explained (much like John and Sherlock's relationship, and I don't mean the kind most people dream up for them). I like how you explore it; please continue.
Kind of curious as to how Mrs. Hudson would celebrate a birthday. I can see John, at least, having a cuppa with her. Maybe a scone too. (Sherlock, of course, would be otherwise engaged. He'd find it "boring.")
Also wonder what Sherlock would do if John did give him a birthday present. Whether he acknowledges the event or not, I can't see Sherlock turning down free stuff. Especially from John. :)
Looking forward to your next work!
| Jodi2011 chapter 1 . 11/1/2011
These are simply, perfectly, lovely.
I love how Sherlock explains himself for Mike, yes, he is learning. And the last, with John and Lestrade... two sad and lonely men.
John shrugs. "What possibly could surprise the great Sherlock Holmes?"
A fall, Lestrade thinks.
- it made me laugh, then cry.
Thank you, this has been a treat :)
| CrazyCousinEiko chapter 1 . 11/1/2011
I love these. I really do. I saw this in my inbox this morning and told myself that this and a few chocolate chip cookies with a tall glass of milk would be my reward for surviving my bio presentation. -
I think my favourite has to be Mycroft. Best quote-
"You've survived another year. Well done you. But memento mori, brother mine." Sherlock really is a brat. :P
But the whole idea of the tart (which is SO in Mycroft's taste) and him allowing himself to savor it for so long (something I admit I did with those cookies) is very much in his character. Despite his faults, he really is a good man and has his heart in the right place- at least, most of the time [or so says my head!canon XD]. I also love how he allows himself to have that break even though he doesn't put himself high on his list of priorities.
I must say, the ladies didn't have it too well for their birthdays. Poor Molly and Sarah. :'( Even though Molly is a bit air-headed sometimes, she's a sweet lady, and I really do feel badly for her. She seemed happy with Jim. And Sarah... I like her, but I admit that with John and Sherlock's bond, it's difficult at times to see him falling in love with anyone else.
I loved Mike Stamford's piece. He seems like a guy I'd like to know better. And very huggable. XD I also love how Sherlock corrects himself somewhat in order for Mike to see that Sherlock was not meaning to belittle him- at least, not in the same way he does most people. :P
And the end... Awww... Poor John and Lestrade. At least they have each other to be friends with...
The only thing that I would have liked to see was Mrs. Hudson, mostly because I love your portrayal of her. That and I'd love to see what she does. Perhaps reads The Gashlycrumb Tinies and other favourite novels? ;) Of course, then you would have had to edit one of the other stories out, and these were all so good that it would have been a shame.
I've had SUCH bad writer's block lately, and I've had to work on a bothersome project for bio, so this was a great pick-me-up! - Hopefully I can get a little writing in soon... after I go finish the Japanese homework I just remembered is due tomorrow! XD
Have a wonderful day! Hugs, lovely! :D
| owl-eats-waffles chapter 1 . 11/1/2011
Brilliant, funny and moving. There's also something incredibly poetic about how elegantly short these vignettes are- it's really very inspiring!
| X chapter 1 . 11/1/2011
this whole set of stories was excellent. perfect characterisations, wonderful imagery.
that last set of lines, though, from number five- /ouch/. brilliant, but a swift punch to the gut.
thank you for posting!
| khorazir chapter 1 . 11/1/2011
Can't really add anything beyond what Sidney Sussex said who summed up my thoughts and feelings perfectly. Lovely, lovely fic. I'd love to have a bite of that tart ...

YAY! Thankyou so much for your help! We picked up the car and it's PERFECT! No rough idle, no feeling like it's going to stall, no sticky brakes and the car feels like new! Strangely, when we took the car in on Monday, the car was running beautifully, with no hint of feeling like it was going to stall, even though on Fri-Sun it was still idling quite roughly. I don't know if it takes time after cleaning the valves for things to "clear through" or did something just "fix itself"? Either way, when we picked it up after the service, the mechanic did say that they had rechecked everything and readjusted the valves and O2 sensors. We did not get to speak to the manager again to find out what exactly was the problem, as he had already left by the time picked up the car, but are very grateful that it is running beautifully now. Now we're seeing if the fuel economy improves. We filled up as soon as we got the car back and so far we've done over 130kms and the fuel needle has barely dropped (previously it would've dropped about 20% already). So fingers crossed.
Again we want to thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for your advice. Thankyou!

Taco Bell puts breakfast on
Irvine-based Taco Bell enters the morning breakfast competition today armed with a waffle taco mashup and a pricey ad campaign aimed at bolstering its entrance into a $31 billion dining segment.
The final national menu, which was tested for two years in Southern California, includes an A.M. Crunchwrap, breakfast burritos, Cinnabon Delights, breakfast tacos, a hash brown and a flatbread melt with sausage. The showstopper is a $1.99 egg-stuffed waffle taco coated in syrup.
"There's a sea of sameness out there. We're trying to shake up people's morning routine," Chief Marketing Officer Chris Brandt said.
Items range from $1 to $2.99, priced below or within range of other national players such as Subway, McDonald's and Starbucks.
Shake up
or shake down?
Taco Bell began initial testing of breakfast seven years ago, taking its time to come up with a final menu worthy to compete in a field of strong players. While the Egg McMuffin ($3.19) is the reigning king of fast-food breakfast, Taco Bell believes it has a strong challenger in the A.M. Crunchwrap and the Waffle Taco. The A.M. Crunchwrap is $2.49 (with bacon or sausage), or $2.99 with steak.
The hexagon-shaped crunchwrap features a grilled tortilla stuffed with scrambled eggs, a hash brown patty, melted cheese and a choice of bacon, sausage or steak.
"It truly is everything you love about breakfast," Brandt said.
The waffle taco took the national spotlight last year after an Orange County woman with less than 100 Instagram followers posted the "secret food test" on her page. The post went viral.
Then "everyone wanted a waffle taco," said Adrienne Berkes, Taco Bell's director of brand marketing.
Competitor prices
Most breakfast sandwiches at McDonald's cost $2.79 to $3.39; Subway: $2.50 to $2.75 (small sandwiches); and Starbucks: $2.95 to $4.45.
Counter moves
Taco Bell's breakfast hours will be 7 to 11 a.m. – about a half-hour later than McDonald's. Last month, McDonald's hinted it might extend its breakfast hours. In the meantime, 112 San Diego restaurants are testing raspberry and cream cheese pastries, at a cost of 2 for $1.99 or $2.19.
Jack in the Box, which serves breakfast 24 hours, is selling egg-stuffed croissants for 2 for $3.50 for a limited time. On April 3, Mexican fast-food rival Del Taco will introduce a new line of breakfast tacos. Cost: 75 cents to $1.75.
Early reviews
A Taco Bell in Orange hosted a "sneak eat" preview Wednesday for Register readers. About 40 fans sampled the waffle taco, the A.M. Crunchwrap and egg burritos.
Most said they were surprisingly pleased with the waffle taco.
"It was pretty bland without the syrup," Laurie Klinkert, 64, of Orange said. It also required "a ton of napkins" because it was a bit greasy, she added.
Neal McAuley, 50 of Santa Ana was ambivalent: "It was a different texture. Not bad."
The slam dunk winner of the morning was the A.M. Crunchwrap, which has a cheesy kick.
Taco Bell regular Kiersten Vannest, 18, nailed the source of the spicy flavor. "The Crunchwrap has the same (jalapeño cheese) sauce as the quesadilla."
Bring it on, Klinkert said: "I can take that heat."
But if you had to choose?
Frank Rodriguez Jr., 33, of Anaheim said he'd pick both. "It was wonderful. I loved it. Now I have to start coming to breakfast."
Social Media
Though early buzz should bring thousands through Taco Bell doors today, the Irvine chain is leaving nothing to chance. Last week, the digital marketing team sent 1,000 "breakfast phones" to "super social fans." Phones rang at all hours with instructions for "missions" and online contests. One mission asked for a sunrise photo. Prizes ranged from waffle taco pillowcases to a free trip to any Taco Bell in the U.S.
The ad campaign
Social media aside, Taco Bell is betting big on a traditional ad campaign. How much? Taco Bell isn't saying – but it is the largest media expenditure, in terms of dollars, in the chain's 52-year history. It's even bigger than promotions for Doritos Locos Taco, Brandt said.
Three commercials boldly take aim at the McDonald's chain's clown mascot. "You will never guess who's loving Taco Bell's new A.M. Crunchwrap," one ad states. That follows with several men named "Ronald McDonald" professing their love of Taco Bell breakfast.
Sock it to me
Taco Bell is earning buzz beyond breakfast. The chain recently launched an online souvenir store that offers everything from a DLT-shaped foam hat to retro Taco Bell tees. Profits benefit the Taco Bell Foundation for Teens. So far no sign of the limited-edition burrito-and-taco-patterned socks, a collaboration with Los Angeles apparel company The Hundreds.
Innovation pays off
Since the 2012 launch of Doritos Locos Taco, Taco Bell has reported eight consecutive quarters of positive same-store sales. For 2013, the chain saw a 3 percent jump in same-stores sales. Chief Executive Greg Creed wants to double annual sales to $14 billion by 2022 and have 8,000 restaurants with average sales of $1.8 million.
