Loved them! 5
MaryBeth (Lakewood, CO), 2/17/2017
We ordered 100 decks for destination wedding . They arrived quickly and are perfect. The labels were easy to peal off and put on . Thank you!
Not bad for the price 5
Theresa (O Fallon, MO), 2/16/2017
These were packed super well, and the stickers turned out great. I ordered 250, and about 30 of the card decks were stuck to the cases or had other scarrings that made them unusable.
Playing Cards 5
Denise Tarabas (AmherstNY, ), 1/22/2017
I ordered cards for my daughter's wedding gift bags. When I received the stickers you could not read the name and date because the lettering was black on navy blue. I contacted the company and they had new stickers made for me. They went above and beyond! Very happy with my purchase
Great product 5
Gwen (Spring, TX), 12/15/2016
I ordered the personalized card holder with cards. It's hard to find a card holder. These are great! So happy with the product!
Great gift 5
Rose (Riverhead, NY), 12/4/2016
I ordered these cards for my mom's 90th birthday party. Ordering was easy - with various design options. Delivery was fast. Putting the stickers on the boxes was simple. They were a big hit at her gambling themed birthday. (The picture is of the design we choose and not the actual item)

Love them 5
Traci (Ray, MI), 11/17/2016
I ordered 120 for my wedding and although you have to put the sticker on each one, i was able to do them all in less than an hour. And it was easy to do. Everyone i have shown loves them and thinks that they are a great idea.
Great product for a great price 5
Jennika (Spring, TX), 11/14/2016
I loved how the stickers turned out and compared to all of the other options out there, this was by far the best product for the best price. The cards and cases are super durable and we had fun making a night of it and applying all of the stickers to the cases. Would highly recommend!
Awesome practical wedding favors 5
Amy (Palm Harbor, FL), 11/13/2016
I LOVE how these turned out!! The description clearly says the cards are regular playing cards for the design and you put the personalized stickers on the box itself. It took me less than an hour to put the stickers on 100 boxes by myself, so it isn't a big deal at all! I hope our guests love these favors as much as I do :-)
great sample, ordering soon! 5
Maureen (tumwater, WA), 11/13/2016
We ordered a sample to see what these are like, and it's a full size deck of cards with a pretty sticker on the case. The backs have a crisp and heavy design, but that doesn't matter when everyone's playing. Sturdy, smooth card paper, too; easy to shuffle. The case is sturdy and will keep cards clean and dry at campouts. Ordering as wedding favors soon! Also, having cards will encourage guests to engage at the reception, no small talk required.
Be Careful When Ordering 4
Brenda (Saint Charles, MO), 11/5/2016
I was in a hurry to complete the order so I failed to see that all the playing cards were black, read and white. These cards are NOT INDIVIDUALLY PERSONALLIZED. You a sticker you design to put on the outside of the plastic box. The quality of the product is very good, but you may want to keep to black red and white colors in your label if you like product unity.
great wedding favor. 5
Meredith (South Amherst, OH), 11/3/2016
great product for our wedding favors. added color to our guests' table which was a great touch. however didn't know that we had to put the stickers on ourselves- wasn't difficult to do, just more of a pain.
Nice cards 5
Georgia (Fort Lauderdale, FL), 10/31/2016
These personalized cards came out nicely. I must say at first I thought the cards themselves would have the personalization but realized it's just the sticker for the box cover that comes with the cards. Still, it was very nice
Perfect 5
Barbara (Fairfield, OH), 10/31/2016
Speedy delivery and great product. The cards are pretty practical wedding favor and the stickers easy to apply. The cases help keep the cards in great shape !
Pretty good for price 4
Jessica (Mount Prospect, IL), 10/19/2016
We really wanted to do personalized cards for our wedding and these were great for the price we were looking for. But some of the cards we ordered were not the same as the others (some cards were not in order or something) and we didn't want to open them to check because we wouldn't want our guests to get those. Overall, they were fine. The plastic container for the cards were a bit bulky and barely fit in our favor bag though.
Playing Cards 5
Shirley (Colonia, NJ), 10/16/2016
My guest all loved the favors for my sisters surprise 60th Birthday party! I will definitely purchase these again for another occasion.
As promised 5
Adrienne (Las Vegas, NV), 10/7/2016
Order obtained quickly and came as ordered. No complaints. Would recommend to others.
Great Favors! 5
Heather (Ridge, NY), 10/5/2016
I got 150 of these as part of the favor for my wedding. It really wasn't hard assembling them, all you have to do is apply the personalized sticker to the card case. I loved that I was able to create my own design out of what was offered and the color I chose came out great. My wedding isn't until May but I'm so glad I was able to get these early! They're compact and don't take up much storage room. Can't wait to give them out!
Perfect 5
Melissa (Rochester, NY), 10/3/2016
Quick shippment and order came as pictured thank you
Worth the Cost 4
Madeline (Puyallup, WA), 9/22/2016
Fairly Inexpensive Purchase The labels were okay. They seemed glossier than they were they were very matte in reality. It was really inexpensive though and all my guests thought they were awesome. Would have liked some options: -to have the company place labels instead of hand doing them -a choice of colors on playing cards. The red and black didnt go with my wedding color . It was mostly covered up by the sticker so it was okay but I would have been fine paying more for a choice. Overall good purchase.

A lot of consumers around the world assume that with the introduction of Digital TV and HDTV, the old barriers to a universal video standard have been removed. However, this is an incorrect assumption. Despite the fact that video is now mostly digital, the fundamental difference between video standards that existed under analog systems, Frame Rate, is still the foundation of the newer Digital TV and HDTV standards.

What Frame Rate Is

In video (both Analog and HD) just as in film, images are displayed as frames. However, there are differences in the way the frames are transmitted and/or displayed on a television screen.

How Frames are Displayed in Analog Video

Lines and Pixels

A television or recorded video image is basically made up of scan lines or pixel rows. Unlike film, in which the whole image is projected on a screen at once, a video image is composed of lines or pixel rows displayed across a screen starting at the top of the screen and moving to the bottom. These lines or pixel rows can be displayed in two ways. The first way is to split the lines into two fields in which all of the odd numbered lines or pixel rows are displayed first and then all of the even numbered lines or pixel rows are displayed next, in essence, producing a complete frame. This process is called interlacing or interlaced scan.

The second method, used in LCD, Plasma, DLP, OLED flat panel TVs and computer monitors, is referred to as progressive scan. Instead of displaying the lines in two alternate fields, progressive scan allows the lines or pixel rows to be displayed sequentially. This means that both the odd and even numbered lines or pixel rows are displayed in numerical sequence.

NTSC and PAL

The number of vertical lines or pixel rows dictates the capability to produce a detailed image, but there is more. It is obvious at this point that the larger the number of vertical lines or pixel rows, the more detailed the image. However, within the arena of analog video, the number of vertical lines or pixel rows is fixed within a system. The two main analog video systems are NTSC and PAL.

NTSC is based on a 525-line or pixel row, 60 fields/30 frames-per-second, at 60Hz system for transmission and display of video images. This is an interlaced system in which each frame is displayed in two fields of 262 lines or pixel rows, which is then combined to display a frame of video with 525 lines or pixel rows. NTSC is the official analog video standard in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, some parts of Central and South America, Japan, Taiwan and Korea.

PAL is the dominant format in the World for analog television broadcasting and analog video display and is based on a 625 line or pixel row, 50 field/25 frames a second, 50Hz system. The signal is interlaced, like NTSC into two fields, composed of 312 lines or pixel rows each. Since there are fewer frames (25) displayed per second, sometimes you can notice a slight flicker in the image, much like the flicker seen on projected film. However, PAL offers a higher resolution image and better color stability than NTSC. Countries on the PAL system include the U.K., Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, China, India, Australia, most of Africa and the Middle East.

For more background information on the PAL and NTSC analog video systems, check out my article: An Overview of Worldwide Video Standards.

DigitalTV/HDTV and NTSC/PAL Frame Rates

Although the increased resolution capability, digital format broadcasting, and high definition video software content standards are a step up for consumers, when comparing HDTV to analog NTSC and PAL standards, the fundamental common foundation of both systems is the Frame Rate.

In terms of traditional video content, in NTSC-based countries there are 30 separate frames displayed every second (1 complete frame every 1/30th of a second), while in PAL-based countries, there are 25 separate frames displayed every second (1 complete frame displayed every 1/25th of a second). These frames are either displayed using the Interlaced Scan method or the Progressive Scan method.

With the implementation of the Digital TV and HDTV, the foundation of how frames are displayed still has its roots in the original NTSC and PAL analog video formats. In soon-to-be former NTSC-based countries, Digital and HDTV are implementing the 30 Frame-per-second frame rate, while soon-to-be PAL-based countries are implementing a 25 Frame-per-second Frame rate.

NTSC-based Digital TV/HDTV Frame Rate

Using NTSC as a foundation for Digital TV or HDTV, if the frames are transmitted as an interlaced image (1080i), each frame is composed of two fields, with each field displayed every 60th of a second, and a complete frame displayed every 30th of a second, using a NTSC-based 30 frame-per-second frame rate. If the frame is transmitted in the progressive scan format (720p or 1080p) it is displayed twice every 30th of a second. In both cases, a unique high definition frame is displayed every 30th of a second in former NTSC-based countries.

PAL-based Digital TV/HDTV Frame Rate

Using PAL as a foundation for Digital TV or HDTV, if the frames are transmitted as an interlaced image (1080i), each frame is composed of two fields, with each field displayed every 50th of a second, and a complete frame displayed every 25th of a second, using a PAL-based 25 frame-per-second frame rate. If the frame is transmitted in the progressive scan format (720p or 1080p) it is displayed twice every 25th of a second. In both cases, a unique high definition frame is displayed every 25th of a second in former PAL-based countries.

Final Take

In the final analysis, Digital TV and HDTV, although a leap forward in terms of what you actually see on the screen, with increased resolution and detail, still has roots in analog video standards that are more than 60 years old. As a result, there are, and will be, for the foreseeable future, differences in Digital TV and HDTV standards in use throughout the world, which reinforces the barrier to true worldwide video standards for both the professional and the consumer.

Also, let us not forget that there are still many NTSC and PAL-based video playback devices, such as VCRs, analog camcorders, and non-HDMI equipped DVD players still in use around the world that are plugged into and viewed on HDTVs.

For a more in-depth look at Video Frame Rate, as well as Refresh Rate, which is an additional function performed by a TV that also affects how the image looks on the screen, check out my article: Video Frame Rate vs Screen Refresh Rate.

Need beard maintenance for getting lustrous looking for your handsome face
For keeping your lustrous beard for everyday, there are many tricks that you can do. The treatments will keep your complement beard. However, what you need for first to have masculine beard is resisting your urge in trimming your beard. Indeed, pruning is important, but it will be better for being done in certain time or the best time for doing it. Well, being patient can let your beard growing well. With this condition, you can style your beard better. The reason why we need to wait the beard thick or long condition is because here the beard is easier to be suited. The beard is growing different. Some area is faster than other in growing up, so the beard maintenance in thickness will be easier for styling and shaping.
After you have thick beard, it is time to match beard with your face. Human beard is not like the animal beard. Human beard is not because of environment aspect, so we need to style and shape it. The important step to do beard maintenance in style is considering the shape of the owner face. Style A is not good for some people, so a man must understand what kind of beard style is perfect for him. For getting better looking, you can consult to beard trimmer. When you are done with your style, it is time for trimming. I beg you to get professional trimmer for suiting your style. The little mistake in trimming will very influence the result, and it is bad. The qualified trimmer will suggest you to grow beard longer or cut it for better. Well, it finishes for treatment from extern factor, from trimming aspect I mean. Now, you need to intern factor for your beard maintenance. You will never have perfect masculine beard looking if you are lazy to treat it. The first step is washing your beard regularly. This step is not good for cleaning only, but washing beard regularly can avoid from itchiness. However, it is better if you do some scrubbing on your beard. It is cleaner step. The next step is using beard oil. The beard oil can make your beard shinier. It is very different between beard with oil and not. The condition will be softer hair with oil. You can choose your favorite oil, such as Mr. Natty Frank's Beard Elixir.
Then, the next beard maintenance is training your beard. It is not enough to make your beard in line only. We need to train the beard line for direction when the beard is growing up. Although you love your beard, you must care about your mustache also. Your beard will be intoned if you focus to the beard only. Look your mustache also. What you need is just keep beard neat, and trim your mustache under your nose. You can also make it natural sculpture by using wax. The last treatment is giving protein for your beard. Our beard is like skin, it needs some food with protein or nutrition.

Great little diner that has excellent food. Always full of people but they get you in and out. The food is fantastic. Tasty hash browns!
Great atmosphere and prices. My fiancé enjoyed his meal as did I. The restaurant is family oriented and it definitely makes the atmosphere feel welcoming and homey. Plus it's not often you see a family work together at a restaurant!
This is one of those places that you just have to visit. Staff is super friendly and attentive. All the meals are big, big, big. Their breakfast potatoes are my favorite.
Great for a quick lunch.. interesting atmosphere.. lots of actual old tins all over the place. Wait staff is efficient, food is hearty & hot (if u ordered it that way! ) Prices very reasonable.
We found this place by accident several years ago and now visit it every time we come to town. Waitresses always make sure you have everything you need. Good food and variety. We do breakfast here.
family owned and operated cafe. Pam and Jim along with Dino,Phil, Nicole do a amazing job. Best Food this side of the Bay. Bone-in Pork Chop to die for. Steak and eggs fit the bill. Once you go there a couple of times you are called by your first name. I eat there 2 to 3 times a week. Its...
I meet with friends here for breakfast occasionally, and the Tin Can Cafe always comes through. It's your basic excellent diner breakfast but goes beyond the basic with outstanding portions to go along with the quality. Fast service too. You cannot go wrong here for breakfast.
I am not sure what took me so long to visit the place. Perhaps because it is smallish in size, but the food is great and the wait staff very attentive. It is downtown and had super easy parking. I had my standard fare, Eggs toast & bacon with Grits. Also had my first taste of Scrapple it taste better...
Everything that I have had here is wonderful. Family owned and always packed. I especially love the Sausage skillet. Always friendly.
We stumbled upon the Tim Can Cafe by accident. What a nice surprise to find a local place to eat. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. The service and food were exceptional. Will visit again if we are ever back in the area.

Hard to maneuver to gt it on. But it is great that it does cling so well once you get it in place especially since I have a dog that sits on furniture. And it seems to repel dirt and dog hair.

This throw worked very well on a loveseat that we had for 20 years, my daughter used it when she moved out. It feels very nice and worked very well. It stays in place also.
By mcemee

About Me Midrange Shopper
This is much too small to be used as shown in the picture. In fact, I can't imagine how small the loveseat is that is shown in the picture. This throw would have to be almost twice the size to allow for tucking into cushions while still reaching close to the floor and barely makes it over the top of my seat back.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Salinas do Maragogi Resort: Good Morning!
Whereever we went, everyone say "hello", "good morning"! At this hotel - and I think anywhere in Brasil - we felt like part of the "family".

The food at the hotel restaurant is great. I may say Salinas has the great breakfast I ever took.
At 1999, Salinas Hotel had only one pool, but I think they have a new one near the beach.

At nigh, we used to go to the beach's bar watch the night show and enjoy one "caipirinha".

The rooms have air conditioner, color TV, mini fridge, surrounding music, and individual safe.

The hotel is surrounded by nature, beautiful beaches and rivers.

This one didn't turn out so well for me. Next time I would make sure the roast is well thawed before putting it in the oven, as the sauce burnt before the roast was done. Even with all that, it still had a good flavor. I would definately try it again because it was easy to put together.
Made this for dinner last night.. It was sooo great!!!

We're at peak everything. And OK, some of these items are more essential than others..
In news that will chill you to your very core, the world is running out of antibiotics - meaning that going into hospital for a simple procedure could soon become deadly. England's chief medical officer Professor Dame Sally Davies has warned of the rise of antibiotic-resistant infections, noting there is only one drug left which effectively treats gonorrhea. "There is a broken market model for making new antibiotics, so it's an empty pipeline", she said. "There will not be new antibiotics to come."
The world will run out of seafood by 2048 if we continue to fish at current rates, according to a 2006 study. Greenpeace estimates that 63 per cent of global fish stocks are currently over-fished and has called for "urgent action" to replenish our oceans.
If you ever needed an excuse to have a Dairy Milk, this is it. According to industry experts a worldwide shortage of cocoa could turn the chocolate we know and love into even more of a luxury item by 2020. Angus Kennedy, editor of Kennedy's Confection magazine, has warned the chocolate of the future will replace cocoa and cocoa butter with cheaper ingredients like nougat and raisins. "Chocolate snaps because of the level of cocoa butter", he told the Daily Mirror. "But in the future it won't as more vegetable fat will be used - the product will be more bendy and sludgy in texture."
Lib Dem MEPs
The Lib Dems suffered catastrophic results in last month's European elections, losing 10 of their MEPs. They only avoided total annihilation in the European parliament after Catherine Bearder was re-elected as the MEP for south-east England.
It's enough to make you think before you reach for a drink; the world is running out of wine. Or at least it is according to a recent Morgan Stanley report which found that international demand is outstripping supply.
Humans are only two decades away from exhausting the world's supply of gold, according to the Wall Street Journal. A combination of increased extraction costs and the depletion of gold mines means it is harder and harder to discover new gold. Sean Boyd, CEO of gold producer Agnico Eagle told the WSJ the "glory days" of striking it rich at a mine are over, adding: "It's tough slogging in this industry right now."


text:
In the latest issue of Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Thomas Cook, William Shadish and Vivian Wong wrote a paper proposing three conditions under which experiments and observational estimates are comparable based on their review of 12 recent within-study comparison studies. It is a little bit confusing, at least to me at first glance, to use "conditions" rather than "designs" here, as what the authors are really arguing is under three different types of research designs estimates from observational studies are comparable to causal estimates. More specifically, they suggest that:
1) regression discontinuity (RD) estimator produces similar effect estimates to experimental ones;
2) when intact group matching is used to minimize pre-test differences in at least outcome measures between the experiment and comparison populations, estimates from observational studies are trustworthy; and
3) when selection process into treatment is completely or plausibly known and could be properly measured, statistical procedures like propensity score matching can provide unbiased estimates.
As you can see, these three claims are based on selected published or to-be-published studies. But publication bias may lead them to overstate these claims, which in this case means observational studies with estimates comparable to experimental ones are disproportionally likely to be published than those without comparable estimates, and so how accurately or confidently we can rely on these claims to evaluate the comparability of estimates from observations studied remains ambiguous. In addition, this issue also relates to what standards we are using to judge comparability. If the standards are fuzzy, our judgment will be fuzzy to some extent as well. But overall, I appreciate the authors' enormous efforts on tracing recent literature on this topic and the resulted paper is full of wisdom.
When I am finishing this post, I realize that this paper was actually presented at our applied statistics workshop last October. But here comes the official version of the paper. And I think this is a very important topic that is worth a revisit.
Thomas Cook, William Shadish and Vivian Wong. 2008. "Three Conditions under Which Experiments and Observational Studies Produce Comparable Causal Estimates: Findings from Within-Study Comparisons", Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Vol. 27, No 4, 724-750.

This application seeks to investigate the mechanisms underlying cellular reprogramming, i.e. the conversion of adult cells into pluripotent stem cells. We will utilize transcription factor-mediated reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a tool to pursue three major Aims.
In Aim 1, we will (i) test whether iPSCs derived from fibroblasts, hematopoietic and myogenic cells are transcriptionally, epigenetically and functionally distinct, (ii) study the mechanism for the increased reprogramming efficiency of progenitors, and (iii) determine if iPSC formation introduces genetic mutations into cells. Addressing the epigenetic and genetic integrity of iPSCs will be crucial for any potential therapeutic applications of this technology and may identify the most suitable cell type for generating patient-specific iPSCs.
In Aim 2, we will (i) map the transcriptional and epigenetic changes in intermediate cell populations undergoing reprogramming, (ii) test if reprogramming differentiated cells into pluripotent cells recapitulates stages of normal development, and (iii) perform a gain and loss-of-function screen, respectively, to identify novel regulators of reprogramming.
This aim will identify new molecules important during reprogramming, whose manipulation may facilitate the efficient and safe generation of patient-specific iPSCs.
In Aim 3, we will investigate the functionality of iPSCs compared with ESCs using in vitro and in vivo assays. Specifically, we will (i) assess whether neural stem cells and fibroblasts derived from iPSCs and ESCs show similar growth and differentiation characteristics in vitro, (ii) test if iPSC-derived hematopoietic stem cells are as potent as ESC-derived hematopoietic stem cells upon serial bone marrow transplantation, and (iii) produce and age entirely ESC and iPSC-derived mice to test if iPSC-derived animals age prematurely or develop cancer.
This aim will assess the safety and long-term consequences of iPSCs-derived mature cells in vivo, a prerequisite for using iPSC technology in human cell therapy.
The goal of our lab is to dissect the mechanisms of cellular reprogramming by using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a tool. In this proposal, we will (i) study the role of the somatic cell-of-origin during cellular reprogramming into iPSCs, (ii) map the transcriptional and epigenetic events that occur in intermediate cells undergoing reprogramming, and (iii) compare the developmental and differentiation potentials of iPSCs and embryonic stem cells. Collectively, these experiments will give insight into the mechanisms of transcription-factor-mediated reprogramming and provide crucial information on the efficacy and safety of iPSC production for studying and potentially treating diseases.

Wonderful Vacation!
My Fiancé and I took his daughter and my nephew to the beach for a weeks vacation and stayed in this Condo. It is conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood. there was plenty of room for the 4 of us and we enjoyed the many amenities of a home away from home. The owners are easy to deal with and the on-site manager was helpful and pleasant. My only suggestion would be to extend checkout until 11am as this is standard policy with most places.
Central location -very clean
This is a great condo located close to everything. Has a great patio with tables and chairs and barbecues, when you don't feel like going to one of the many restaurants nearby. The condo is pristine and we will be going back.
Excellent Condo
What a great treasure in Wildwood Crest. Conveniently located in quiet neighborhood with many amenities within walking distance. The Condo is well maintained and tastefully decorated. The beach & Boardwalk are just a short walk from the Condo.
We really enjoyed our stay and hope to revisit in the near future.
a week at the "best kept secret in the crest"
I stayed here in the shore for one week at the end of the season, and it was one of the best vacations I have ever taken. The unit is clean and updated, as well as child friendly. It is very close to the beach and boardwalk, so close that my children didn't even complain walking to the beach everyday. It is also in the heart of the nicest neighborhood in wildwood. I would recommend this unit to anybody looking for a great place down on the shore. I had a great experience, and I bet you will too.
Amazing place - convenient to all!
My family and I arrived on Saturday and had an amazing time at this condo. It was a perfect size for our 4 person family and is convenient to so many places. We walked to most restaurants, the beach, the store and the boardwalk with all the rides. I love Cape May and it's a short 10 minute ride. The condo was immaculate and the grounds are very well kept. On our trip, we went to the beach (which is beautiful - very clean), went on the rides, visited the zoo (much bigger than we expected - the kids loved it) and visited Cape May. I would highly recommend this place to others seeking to experience Wildwood and nearby Cape May. While we didn't go to Atlantic City, my husband and I did comment on our way home what a short drive it is. We will include that in our agenda next time we go to Wildwood. We plan on going back in 2013 and would stay at Lantern Lane again.

The ridge is about four miles long and 15ft high. It is the only major deviation from the horizontal in the 1,000 yards of marsh land that separates the sea from the village of Salthouse in north-west Norfolk Every winter since the terrible floods of 1953, bulldozers have arrived to shore up the shingle. Forty-five years on, the locals shake their heads and wonder how long it can last. The sea, they say, sucks back more and more of the beach before renewing its assault on this eroding coastal defence.
Twice it has broken through in recent years - in 1993 and in 1996, when the A149 through Salthouse was cut off for more than six weeks. "If the sea were allowed to get in regularly, it could go six miles inland, come round the back of us and cut us off like an island," says Large, who is chairman of the parish council, and has lived along this vulnerable coastline for more than 60 years.
Like many another fisherman in these parts, he simply refuses to believe that higher tides are caused by global warming. "It's just that we're in the lap of the gods with the weather," he says. "Every now and then we get big tides coupled with fierce north-westerly winds."
Nor does he accept the view of the MPs on the House of Commons agriculture committee that building ever higher defences to keep out the sea is ultimately a waste of time and money.
"If the Dutch didn't look after their sea defences, there wouldn't be no Holland," he says.
On the face of it, the Environment Agency's proposal to spend more than pounds 3m on a secondary defence at Salthouse - a bank built of clay from the marshes and standing more than 12ft high - would seem to go against the committee's recommendations. But the the 1994 European Union Habitats Directive commits the British government to protect important wildlife sites. North Norfolk is well blessed with them, and the bird sanctuary at Cley-next-the-Sea (and next to Salthouse) is the jewel in the crown.
The Countryside Minister, Elliot Morley, has already indicated that the needs of internationally important habitats will override the Government's spending formula. "If they look after the birds, they'll have to look after people as well," says Large with another wry grin. "If we get the bank, it'll be Cley bird sanctuary that gets us the money. There's little doubt about that."
There's little doubt, either, that Salthouse is seen as one of the test cases for the implications of the Habitat Directive in a coastal environment. Brancaster, 20 miles along the coast, is another. More of that later. Suffice it to say that the Environment Agency's proposals for Brancaster are very different: "managed retreat" from the sea, as opposed to "managed realignment". As a result, almost the entire local community is united against them. In Salthouse, the community is more split, even between families. As much of the indigenous population seems to be related, perhaps that is not too surprising.
We climb into Large's battered estate car and set off to see his brother- in-law George Cooke, who is in favour of the clay bank, and George's niece (and Ivan's cousin) Suzanne, who has raised a petition against it. "Mostly signed by holiday-makers and
twitchers," says Ivan contemptuously, as we drive back through the marsh. The clay bank is scheduled to cut across it, roughly 400 yards inland from the shingle ridge. As we pass the spot where work should start next summer, a flock of the aforesaid "twitchers" are standing by the side of the road, with their binoculars and cameras poking through the reeds at whatever bird life lurks within.
"There'll be hundreds of them this afternoon," Large goes on. "There's some kind of rare tit in there."
Surely, I suggest, the birdwatchers are good for the local economy. "Not really," he says. "They're mainly day trippers. Some people come here and buy holiday homes. That's why the prices are going way out of the reach of the working man. Just after the '53 floods, you could have bought half of Salthouse for pounds 1,000."
His brother-in-law George, now 78 and retired from fishing, had to leave his sea-front home in a hurry in 1953. "We moved the furniture upstairs but that got flooded as well," he recalls, as a hen and several chickens scurry into the hallway and begin pecking at a dog bowl. "We've been lucky since then. The downstairs carpet got soaked a couple of years ago, but that didn't bother me much."
All the same, George Cooke has had good reason to respect the power of the sea. "This is such a small island," he says, "and you can't let the sea take too much of it. If you get a really rough 'un, I don't know what'll stop the bugger. But this bank should take the sting out of it."
His niece, Suzanne, who runs Cookie's Crab Shop just down the road, will have none of it. "How would you like to have a 12-ft high wall not far from your front window?" she asks, brandishing a sheaf of signatures at me. She doesn't believe the global warming theory, either, but adds: "If it does get worse, I can't see a wall stopping a really severe flood."
As if to emphasise her confidence, she and her partner, Peter, are moving from their home a little way up the hill into the premises behind the shop which her father bought at a knock-down price in 1956. But they have installed an easy-to-swab floor of quarry tiles and have fitted electric sockets 2ft above it.
A wise precaution in the circumstances. The North Sea has been a fierce and unpredictable foe to the east coast. More than 300 people died in the floods of '53, one of them in Salthouse. Out beyond the shingle ridge and under the waves is one of the buildings that didn't survive. Many more perished before it. Indeed, Salthouse was a thriving port 200 years ago. Just as what is now the tiny Suffolk hamlet of Dunwich was a once a great medieval town. Back in Norfolk, Cromer once stood two miles inland from the busy seaside village of Shipden which now lies at the bottom of the sea.
Stride out from Cromer over the cliffs towards Overstrand today, and you will find signs warning you to "proceed at your own risk." Just down the coast at Happisburgh, meanwhile, local councillors are warning that the Norfolk Broads will be in danger if nothing is done to shore up the cliffs.
There are no cliffs in Brancaster. Just dunes. Like Salthouse, the beach is almost perfectly flat. Unlike Salthouse, there are is no shingle to push up into a defensive ridge. Just soft sand, which looks as though it's lying there waiting to be pounded twice-daily by the incoming rollers.
In fact, it doesn't just lie there. It moves about with every wind and tide. This is what's known to environmentalists as a "dynamic" beach.
Not that it looks too dynamic on a bright, if chilly, late-August afternoon. Holiday-makers on the beach are doing nothing more energetic than hammering in windbreak-supports or making sandcastles. A small dog is cocking its leg up a sign which says: "If you go on to the sandflats, take care. They are quickly covered by the incoming tide."
This is easy to believe. The edge of the sea is frothing angrily in the middle-distance. But the stiff northerly breeze coming directly inland suggests that when it makes a move, it will be with some force. "By five o'clock you'd be up to your waist if you stayed where we are," says Cyril Sutherland, a fisherman for over 35 years, as we stand at the foot of the sand dunes below the Royal West Norfolk Golf Club.
Three years ago, the sea came close to breaking through the dune and flooding the first fairway. Already, the road leading from the village to the golf course can be flooded for anything up to three hours at high tide. Time and tide wait for no member here. Book a round at the wrong time and you could be stranded in the 19th hole for longer than expected.
Faced with a tidal assault on the course itself, the club brought in outside experts who suggested piling up flint to protect the vulnerable sand. Sutherland and other locals knew better. Eventually, 20 of them were commissioned by the club to experiment with geo-textile mesh, a metre high along the base of the dune. They topped it with brushwood to catch the windblown sand. "See how it's building up now into a nice, gentle slope," says Sutherland.
"It's better to take the power out of the sea rather than let it smash into a 90-degree wall. Otherwise the top will eventually cave in. This brushwood method is how our forefathers did it, two or three hundred years ago, when they reclaimed grazing land from the sea. It's a matter of working with nature. A little bit of maintenance could hold this lot together. But the Environment Agency take more notice of outside boffins than of people on the ground."
The Agency is planning a 60-metre (just over 200-ft) breach in the sea defences on the west side of the clubhouse to take the pressure off the dunes. Managed retreat, in other words. Most villagers would much prefer managed realignment, in the form of a secondary buffer bank.
"You can't predict the sea," says Alan Townsend, secretary of the Brancaster Village Gold Club whose members have ancient rights to play on the Royal West Norfolk's course (but not to use the clubhouse). "These boffins come in and think of this and think of that, but the older people here have seen it all before. The defences at Titchwell were breached by 30 yards in '53. Now the the gap's three-quarters of a mile."
But Steve Hayman, a senior engineer at the Environment Agency, insists: "A managed retreat is better than waiting for nature to take its course. We've been struggling in an unequal battle to sustain that short length of dunes. If we get a serious storm, the sea will break through. As for building a secondary defence, it would involve quite an investment. Looking at the area that is protected, it's difficult to see where the benefits are coming from to justify the cost."
The Agency has priced the secondary bank at pounds 539,000, a figure which Janice Howell, chair of the parish council, considers a substantial over- estimate. "We're not convinced by the sums," she says. Nor by the figure put on replacing the freshwater marsh which will be flooded when the sea is let through the breach. "Under the Habitats Directive, they're bound by law to replace that marsh with 80 acres of comparable land, and they think they can do it for pounds 160,000. Well, dream on, chaps. Agricultural land round here is going for between pounds 3,000 and pounds 4,000 an acre."
There is also a compensation bill to be worked out in an area where land ownership is a matter of Byzantine complexity. Steve Hayman concedes: "When the EU directive on habitats was drafted, it's questionable whether enough consideration was given to dynamic coastlines that have been changing for thousands of years."
The experiences of these two towns, separated by 20 miles, also suggests that the Commons agriculture committee may also have been a little optimistic in trying to frame a blanket policy on sea defences for the entire British coastline.Reuse content

Molten chocolate cake has its roots in the "Tunnel of Fudge" cake that won the Pillsbury Bake-Off in 1966; the concept of a cake with warm, oozing fudge filling really started to take off 21 years later, when chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten added the treat to the dessert menu at JoJo. Arby's head chef Neville Simpson Craw spent seven years tailoring the recipe for mass production, and this month the chain finally debuted its Molten Chocolate Lava Cake.

Public shut out of hearing
Dear Editor:
This was the first public hearing in Summerland, to my knowledge, where the general public who arrived 15 minutes before the meeting start time came against enforced locked doors.
I would have thought general courtesy would have been to adjourn this meeting and find suitable space to accommodate all interested public.
Is this not what the public hearing process is all about; to hear all the different points of view and let the citizens have a voice?
I counted 67 people outside the locked doors before the meeting time and then still people came and other frustrated people left.
As people exited the meeting, they let in others to the same proportion.
There were even town councillors, head table people, who were out there until the door was unlocked to let them in.
They were well aware of the situation outside.
I think it would be proper now to hold another public hearing.
Or, after a 35-minute wait outside and hearing different opinions and concerns against the land swap, the mayor and most councillors should abandon their pursuit.
Jim Hunt

Time and again, imbibers across the District are confronted with the same drinking-related decisions: what to wear, when to go out, whether to cab or Metro; but, most importantly, where to go to avoid the drunken masses, where communicating with a companion doesn't require screaming, where pushing through a throng of rambunctious boozers isn't a necessary evil of acquiring a cocktail.
At some point, such is every Washingtonian's plight. Sure, some evenings call for loud DJs and crowded clubs, bottle service and long lines out front. But what about when you want to reminisce over a stiff chardonnay? Or a date with someone you'd like to get to know? A more serene setting is essential. They may be few and far between, but there are perfect hideaways amid the city's busiest nightlife neighborhoods. Calm surroundings can be found at almost any hotel bar, but if you want real character, there are other options.
One establishment keeps things so low-key that when I walk in and start asking questions, the bartender tells me they "don't like advertising." I promise I'll just list the name of the establishment, with hints as to its location. It's called Saloon, and it's buried in a basement down the street from Ben's Chili Bowl. Don't linger too long in front of that gorgeous mural that snakes along the Metro tunnel's curves — you want to get here relatively early to get a seat, since "no standing" is one of the pub's notorious rules. Staffers have been known to ask many an upright patron to take a seat and loud talkers to kindly quiet down. With the watering hole's lack of TVs and abundance of policies, Saloon focuses on the art of conversation, and it works — three new people introduce themselves over sips of stout beer.
These beers aren't your average Budweisers — the accommodating server tells me Saloon doesn't carry standard brands, and claims it's the only place in the U.S. where one can find Austria's Urbock 23. Follow the wine-drinker's custom of swishing before swallowing and savor its layered taste. The strange brew slides gently down the throat with a pleasant viscosity, and, although it's sweet, the first few sips beg for further consumption. Only one six-ounce serving per customer may seem meager, but the lager's strength becomes evident upon standing, as a slight dizziness ensues, with a warmth that's more akin to tequila than beer.
Adams Morgan may be the last place one considers when searching for civilized drinking, but surprises lie in store. Although the name Bourbon may remind some of the New Orleans street that's host to wild nights of debauchery, this homey spot of the same name is anything but. The music is gentle and relaxed; "Dazed and Confused" plays muted with closed captioning on one of the corner televisions. The décor is beautiful and warm, with exposed brick and rich brown furnishings. It doesn't scream sophistication, but instead bespeaks a muted elegance. Tattooed bartenders in plaid shirts provide friendly service against the backdrop of 140 bourbons displayed beneath soft lights, while a wine keeper drizzles the nectar of the gods from small taps.
The staff proves helpful and knowledgeable. A tumbler of A.H. Hirsch Reserve is the bourbon of choice, with its complex aromas wafting up, rocks on the side as avid drinkers swear it should be served. There's a one-per-customer limit, as the distillery that produced it closed in 1988 and the fountain will one day run dry.
But to enjoy one's favorite whiskey in peace, the real nook to see is Bourbon's charming patio. Candlelit and awash with subdued conversation, equipped with plenty of ashtrays, it can become crowded on a Saturday night. But by and large, it's a safe bet for an after-dinner drink and, as an added bonus, glows with a romantic atmosphere that's uncharacteristic of the raucous neighborhood.
Another tranquil dwelling lies just around the corner from the Woodley Park Metro. Open City Café has wines on tap and serves creative cocktails in a casual setting peppered with patrons drinking and dining alone with newspapers and laptops. The sinuous marble-top bar winds along the corners of the venue, which maintains a coffeehouse feel. A different kind of calm hums through the large café, with a laid-back vibe and an eclectic collection of music playing not too loudly over the hushed chatter.
Flavored vodka spikes the rich and cold Black Cherry Soda, a throwback to youth with a grown-up twist. It's garnished with a generous serving of maraschino cherries that anticipate consumption at the bottom of the glass and color the drink with an extra oomph. The Watermelon Cooler, a refreshing blend of lemonade, watermelon and vodka, proves perfect for a hot midsummer night.
So the formula for a civilized night out seems to be this — wines on tap, unique beverages and locations that aren't too far off the beaten path — just tuck them into the basements and corners of the bustling boroughs. There's no tried-and-true equation for creating a quiet hideaway, but these establishments have set the bar.
