Things to Expect in iOS 11
Hey everyone, a warm welcome back to my computers and electronics blog. A big announcement during the Apple Worldwide Developers Club this year was that iOS 11 will be released later this year, most likely in September. Like always there will be lots and lots of new features (some you won't even notice until the next updates comes along) and some of them will be losers, while others will be huge winners. No one cares if the app store gets redesigned, it will still suck. The control button getting a new look? Meh, just looks cramped to me. Here are some of the features in iOS 11 that might actually be helpful.
Augmented Reality
We are halfway through 2017, at this point every tech company needs to embrace the world of virtual/augmented reality including Apple. Microsoft has the HoloLens, and Samsung has GearVR; but even though there were millions of crazy people catching augmented reality creatures on their phone Apple has done nothing, until now. No software developers can use a program called ARKit, which will allow them to create application utilizing AR on the Iphone for the first time and it will work on any older Iphones with the updated operating system. This means no special device like the Google Tango, all you need is creativity.
Apple Pay to Person
Apple pay is really useful. I have used it to pay for bus tickets, smokes, and even girl scout cookies. But the one thing it has been lacking versus its competitors is person to person transfers. This can make is easier to split the check, or allow you to stop hunting down your friend for the $20 they borrowed last week. Funds can be added to your Apple account, or even your bank accounts.

Green Fluorescent Protein as a Reporter Gene
By Ben Buxton
"If you don't already use GFP, you will. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon... and for the rest of your life"
Green-fluorescent protein (GFP), one of the hottest new biological tools, is responsible for the stunning bioluminescence of the Pacific Northwest Jellyfish, Aequorea victoria. While in its native host, GFP emits a green colored light when it accepts blue light from a calcium activated photoprotein. Given another source of blue light, such as UV, which cannot be detected by human eyse, GFP will produce a green light. A human using a UV light will therefore only see GFP (and other fluorescents), because it will be the only source of visible light. It is just this property that makes the clone of the GFP gene a powerful tool for use in the lab. Since the cloning of the GFP gene in 1992 by Douglas Prasher (of USDA/APHIS) it has been demonstrated that the GFP gene can be expressed in non-homologous species, from yeast and plant cells to Drosophila and vertebrates, including humans1. It seems that this lack of specificity to jellyfish is because GFP requires no substrates (other than oxygen) to fluoresce, and has no physiological effect on cell operation. In a sense a transformed cell doesnÕt ÒknowÓ that GFP is even there, and therefore can remain alive while being studied.
Such a powerful tool has many applications in biological research and commercial biotechnology including: Òmeasuring gene expression in vitro, selecting transgenic cells, studying fusion proteins, studying intracellular protein traffic (and thus identifying signal sequences), determining cell lineage, assessing promoter activity, developing cell- and tissue-specific markers, investigating the pathogen movement and disease development, biomonitoring of organisms released into the environment, developing bioindicators for detecting environmental pollutants, ensuring the containment of genetically modified organisms and in evolutionary and ecological studies of transgenic organisms (Prasher 1995 Trends in Genetics 11: 320-323).Ó1
The main concern of this paper, however, is with the application of GFP as a reporter gene. Reporter genes are common biological tools that demonstrate clearly when they a gene is turned on or off. For instance, the Lac-Z gene (coding for Beta-Galactosidase), when uninterrupted and functional, will change the colorless substrate X-gal to blue. If functional Lac-Z is part of a plasmid in a bacteria or yeast colony, it will change the cells from from white to blue. This so called blue white selection is commonly used to find cells with recombinant DNA or plasmids (cells with an insert interrupting Lac-Z), after performing a transformation (introducing new DNA into a cell). GFPÕs distinctive properties allow it also to be used as a reporter of gene expression.
Natures method of gene expression, where the proteins that make up a cell are made from their DNA codes, gives molecular biologists a useful tool. Each gene in an organism is located after the promoter and inducer sequences specific to it. These are portions of DNA occurring before the actual coding sequences that an RNA polymerase enzyme binds to in order to begin translation of the gene. In a little understood process, certain promoters have a property which makes them bind more often to RNA polymerase then other promoters, and thus proteins are expressed in different amounts. In other words, the cell does not really ÒknowÓ what genes it is translating, it only ÒknowsÓ which promoters are being used. Since the cell only sees the promoter, the gene for GFP can be attached downstream from the promoter (and inducer) DNA sequences for whatever gene one wishes to study. If this DNA construct is introduced into a cell, whenever the gene under study is expressed in the cell, the GFP produced simultaneously will fluoresce green under a UV lamp. Rather than having to detect the protein of interest, say with antibodies, or by various other destructive methods you can watch the living, normally functioning cell and clearly determine when the gene is turned on and off.
The following series of figures illustrate how GFP could be used to "report" when a gene encoding a fetal form of globin, a hemoglogin subunit, is being expressed: (figure by Ben Buxton)
Using GFP as a reporter gene is not without its potential problems. A major one is that only one gene can be tracked at a time. To solve this problem, reserachers are mutating the chromophore, or light emitting portion of the protein, in attempts to find a mutant form of the gene that would fluoresce in a different color. In addition, GFP signals can be weak and hard to detect without high expression. Some cells will naturally fluoresce, too, such as lignin in plant cells. This could make bona fide GFP fluorescence hard to detect.

Nick Jonas and Kate Hudson have shown all the signs of being coupled up — traveling together, dining together, even Disney-ing together — right up until she gripped another dude in NYC.
Kate left an after-party Monday night hand-in-hand with the other guy … who, btw, happens to be her agent — and also happens to have been spotted holding Kate tight multiple times in recent months.
Yes, Jonas and Hudson were spotted together in multiple places last month, and as recently as last weekend.
So, who's really winning the Kate sweepstakes? Since people in the know tell us Nick and Kate weren't dating, just hooking up — we'll guess BOTH for the block.

I have always enjoyed fresh, juicy peaches during the summer months growing up in eastern North Carolina. A few years ago, I was brainstorming ideas for a Southern cocktail that I could make integrating peaches, and I came up with the idea for this peach tea cocktail. It has since become a favorite of mine and is fairly simple to make. I also like that it is easy to create a non-alcoholic version of this peach tea for the kids to enjoy since whiskey is added last to each glass.
I've always used Mason jars to serve this cocktail in because it takes me back to days at my grandparents' house drinking my grandma's tea. Adding fresh peaches to this cocktail along with a sprig of mint takes it over the top. I also use NC-based Defiant whiskey when preparing this peach tea cocktail.
I hope you enjoy this summery, Southern drink as much as I have over the past few years.
Yield: 6 servings.
6 tea bags
1 quart water, divided
2 cups peach nectar
2 tablespoons sugar
6 shots Defiant whiskey
Fresh sliced peaches
Mint sprigs
Pour 1 cup of water into a small saucepan. Add tea bags and bring to a boil.
Once at a boil, remove saucepan from heat and cover. Steep for 5 minutes.
Pour tea and sugar into pitcher. Add remaining 3 cups of water and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Allow tea to cool in refrigerator for 1 hour.
Add peach nectar to tea. Stir to combine.
Pour peach tea into a glass with ice, leaving enough room for 1 shot of whiskey. Add whiskey and stir.
Garnish with freshly sliced peaches and a mint sprig as desired.

Liisa: Ad Agency Life in Chicago (via Barcelona & Puerto Rico)
Liisa grew up in Guayama, Puerto Rico, spent a few years in Europe, and now calls a lovely one-bedroom apartment in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago home. Her work in advertising is intense, involving long hours, a busy schedule, and lots of travel, but as she notes, it's a fun kind of intensity. And after spending an afternoon with her, it's clear that Liisa greets life's changes as with an admirable sense of adventure. Here's life with Liisa...
As any adult who's had to make a big move knows, it's not easy on many levels. It's also a risk. But Liisa views these changes as adventures and embraces the idea of making her home wherever she is rather than feeling married to one place because it's home. Liisa talked about the moves she's made in her life so far—Puerto Rico→Santiago→back to Puerto Rico→Barcelona→back to Puerto Rico again→Chicago—with the sort of casualness I use to talk about going for a jog. Actually, I think I get more worked up talking about my jogging, which says a lot about her openness to change (and, er, my lack of jogging prowess). The dynamic career and beautiful apartment she's created for herself in Chicago are testament to the no risk, no reward lifestyle. It can be really tough to get out of our comfort zones, but Liisa is a great example of someone who shows that the boldest, even scariest moves can be incredibly rewarding.
- Job: I work in advertising at Leo Burnett, which means long hours and tight deadlines. But it also means lots of late night conversations, after work beers, and silly laughs when your brain is fried. I've made the closest friendships through work, so every difficult meeting, idea that has died, and missed weekend have been worth it.
- What brought you to Chicago? After I finished graduate school in Barcelona—where I spent two years earning a masters in advertising and strategy from the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona—I had to move back home to Puerto Rico. I knew that I didn't want to start my professional life there, so I started looking for jobs everywhere—Europe, South America, Asia, you name it. And then I had an interview for Chicago. All I knew about Chicago at the time was that it had horrible winters and it was practically in the middle of nowhere. Before I knew it, I was moving to Chicago and have been here ever since. It's still in the middle of nowhere (geographically), but I've learned to love the city, and today, I wouldn't be anywhere else.
- How did you find your apartment? I was looking for an affordable one- bedroom anywhere where the commute to work wouldn't be a nightmare. I've always had a list of must-haves (fireplace, brick wall, character, etc) when looking for an apartment, but never hit any of them within my price range. When I saw the Craigslist posting for this apartment, I had to come see it. The location was great, close to transportation, a bit small, but looked ok. I visited three times before making a decision. By that time I had fallen in love with the apartment. It had a beautiful fireplace, but it was in horrible condition and every friend I took kept asking me, "Are you sure you want to rent this place?" My answer was always, "It has potential!" So I took it, recruited a friend to help me re-paint and update it a little bit, minor things here and there, and after just one coat of paint, you could see the transformation. It was becoming real, it suddenly had more light, and I loved it.
- What's been the biggest adjustment to life in Chicago? Coming from the Caribbean, the winter, of course!
What are some tips you have for adjusting to life in a new place after a major move? Say "yes" to every invite those first few months.Also, explore, explore, explore.
- What do you like most about your living situation? I love the neighborhood (Lakeview). There are tons of restaurants and shops close by and there are always people walking around. My apartment is super quiet, which surprised me because I'm on the first floor, but I rarely hear my neighbors.
- What do you wish you could change about it? I would definitely add more closet space. I have one walk-in closet, and I love to shop, so that reality has definitely shifted my hobby from buying things to wear to buying more things for my home!
- What do friends say? They think it's cute, cozy, and relaxing. Those who saw it in its original state can't believe how it turned out. The wonders of a little paint.
- What's a typical night at home? There are no typical nights at home because I work late (and try to not be doing work-related things on the weekends). But a night at home usually involves a glass of wine, I don't like eating alone, so I'll usually have someone over and I'll practice my Italian recipes for them.
- What's a favorite Italian meal you like to prepare? A favorite pasta dish of mine is simply pasta prepared with zucchini and aubergine.
- What are some of your favorite belongings and the stories behind them? I love my living room wall because it reminds me of where I've lived—Chile, Paris, Barcelona...
- I like the wall decor in my room (I made it). I wake up really early every day, so that was my morning project for a month before going into work...
- The restored ladder in the living room is another favorite of mine. My old landlord told us to look in the basement of our old apartment building because there was a lot of stuff that other tenants had left behind. I found the ladder and it was full of paint and splinters. It took me about a month to repair it and make it usable, and since fixing it up it has been everything from a towel hanger to a scarf hanger. This Christmas it's going to be my Christmas tree.
- Please leave any questions for Liisa in the comments.

The action's always hot at our table games. Whether your favorite casino game is 3-Card Poker, Blackjack, Pai Gow Poker, Let it Ride or Casino War—you'll be in on all the excitement.

View gallery of winners »
Blackjack is one of the most popular games at Talking Stick Resort™. Our tables are located in the Arena Poker Room™ and along the grand walkway on the casino floor within easy access of great drinks at Palo Verde Lounge and amazing seafood at Ocean Trail.
How to Play Blackjack
The object of Blackjack is to beat the dealer with a hand that gets as close as possible to 21 without going over. From more than one traditional 52-card deck, players are dealt one card facing up and one facing down. Cards 2 through 10 are worth face value, but face cards are all worth 10. The ace can either be counted as 1 or 11.
Once the cards are dealt, a player can choose to "hit" or "stand." If the player chooses to hit, they will receive another card in the hopes of getting closer to 21 without going over. If the player stands, they choose to stick with the cards they have, hoping they are closer than the dealer to 21 and haven't gone over. If a player goes over 21, their hand is a "bust" and they lose the bet. Additionally, if the dealer's cards total 21 or are a higher value than the player's, the dealer wins.
To make play more exciting, there are a few options with certain dealt card patterns. If a player "doubles down" they double their bet on the hand and can only receive one additional card. If two cards dealt are an equal value, they can "split" their hand and play the two separate hands in the same manner as they would with one game. Play is complete when a player hits 21 ("Blackjack") or busts.
Pai Gow Poker*
Pai Gow is a relaxing, strategic poker game. It's a great way to sit back and enjoy the company of fellow players and the dealer. Plus, Talking Stick Resort is the perfect place to play it with a beautiful gaming hall and great restaurants just steps away.
How to Play Pai Gow Poker
Pai Gow Poker is a seven-card game between the player and the dealer. The dealer gives each player seven cards and from those seven cards, the player then creates two hands to play. One of the two hands will have five cards and the other, only two. The five-card hand must be a higher value than the two-card hand. The dealer also creates a pair of five- and two-card hands, but has to follow a set house strategy.
Once the players' and dealers' hands are decided and locked-down, the cards are laid out and compared. For the player to win, he or she must win both hands. Consequently, to lose, he or she must lose both hands. If the player wins one hand and the dealer wins the other, the game is a draw. Due to those rules, players are able to play many hands because it's very common to get a draw.
This fairly new table game is a big hit at Talking Stick Resort. Let It Ride is a fast-paced game where players have multiple chances to win based on how the hand is dealt.
How to Play Let It Ride
The table for Let It Ride is similar to Blackjack, with players sitting at a semi-circular table and the dealer on the far side. Players are dealt three cards, face-down. The dealer then lays two additional cards upon the first three, also face-down.
If the player is confident that his or her cards are strong, he or she can let the first bet ride, or pull it back. After the first round, the dealer flips one of the community cards. At that time, if the community card proves favorable, the player can let the second bet ride, or pull it back.
Finally, the dealer flips the second community card and the players have the same option. At this point, players' cards are revealed and players either lose their bets or receive a payout based on how many bets they let ride.
Casino War™*
The war is on at Talking Stick Resort. Casino War is a fast, exciting game that gives you a great rush watching the non-stop back-and-forth between the player and the dealer.
How to Play Casino War
Casino War is a simple yet fast-paced single high-card bet. To play, the bet is placed, then a card is dealt for the player and another for the dealer. Whichever card is of the highest value wins.
In the event of a tie, the player has a choice to "surrender" or "go to war." If the player surrenders, he or she loses half of the bet. If the player and the dealer go to war, the player places an equal bet, and additional cards are dealt for the player and the dealer. Whoever wins the second round wins the whole hand. If the second round is a tie, the player wins. Each game can last mere seconds.
3-Card Poker®*
This simple poker game is popular for its easy game pace and the camaraderie you build with other players while trying to beat the dealer. It's easy to love playing because there are only three cards to manage and the bets are consistent. Our 3-Card Poker tables are on the gaming floor near Palo Verde Lounge and Ocean Trail.
How to Play 3-Card Poker
To begin, players place their ante bet. They can also try their luck by placing the "pair plus" bet.
After receiving three cards, the player will then decide whether or not to proceed and play the hand. If so, the player will place a bet for the same amount he or she placed for the ante and "pair plus" bets (if played). Before play continues, the dealer will need to qualify the dealer's hand. In order to qualify for play, the dealer must have at least a Queen high among the three cards. If the dealer qualifies, the cards are shown and payouts are calculated.
Simply put, if the player has a higher poker hand than the dealer, the player wins both the ante and the play bets. If the player also bet on the "pair plus" and has a pair, he or she will also win that. If not, that bet is lost.

Update: Kanye confirmed in an interview with MTV that the final tracklist has not yet been submitted, but will likely feature 13-14 tracks. So what you see below isn't true.
While we're waiting for this week's G.O.O.D. Friday Saturday to go down, let me point you in the direction of iTunes, where a pre-order is now ongoing for Kanye's forthcoming My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Other than the fact Apple doesn't appear to fond of Kanye and his phoenix, the most interesting piece of info found is the album's apparent track. 12 tracks are set to appear, though nine have already been released as official singles, G.O.O.D. Friday cuts, or unauthorized leaks. So you can see why Kanye fans are on suicide watch. But if you're looking for a few glimmers of hope: 1.) 11 previously confirmed guests are missing, 2.) there are at least 33 different mixes of "All The Lights", and we've had a post like this before. So, we'll wait until Kanye makes it official before passing judgment.
One things we do know for sure, however, is one of the five album covers set to appear on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Peep it to your top right. The banned one is still better though.
November 22nd is the day. Def Jam is the label. See you in five hours for G.O.O.D. Friday, pt. 11.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy rumored Tracklist:
01. Dark Fantasy
02. Gorgeous (feat. Kid Cudi & Raekwon)
03. Power
04. All of the Lights
05. Monster (feat. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, & Bon Iver)
06. So Appalled (feat. Pusha T, Cyhi the Prynce, RZA, & Pusha T)
07. Devil in a New Dress
08. Runaway (feat. Pusha T)
09. Hell of a Life
10. Blame Game (feat. Pusha T & John Legend)
11. Lost in the World
12. See Me Now (Bonus Track)

The adaptability of people is consistently under-estimated by experts
Pair of NYT stories from earlier in the month. Both speak to the realities and myths of people's adaptability.
First one is about how Latvia (a place I very briefly visited back in the 1980s when it was still back in the USSR) and it talks about how, during the Great Recession, Latvians were able to handle the harsh austerity (sort of crew cut instead of the usual haircut).
Second one is about how Russians are already mall fanatics. I remember Zbig Brzezinski saying, when the Wall fell, that it would be decades and generations before Russians figured out markets, etc. It was all so godawfully patronizing (as only a Pole or Ukrainian might be WRT Russians).
My point in citing them together: people are amazingly adaptable. Latvians remember worse days (like your Great Depression parents or grandparents) and so they are unfazed, but Russians have no trouble slipping right into being material boys and girls (as did the Latvians for a while there and as they will again soon).
Americans have this tendency to believe we're the only adaptable people in the world, and it's true on some points: on religion and "sacred soil," we are freakishly flexible. If they declared that the US was being moved to Canada next week, most of us would pack up and go, because it's the freedom rule-set that we're most addicted to, with darn near everything else being negotiable.
Yes, the world is still full of traditional cultures wedded to sacred soil and religious identities (like . . . fuh-ever!), but given even the slightest chance, man, will they ever break out of their shells - and I mean everybody. Sure, it's the kids who always lead the way, but guess what? Traditional societies are youth-skewed (all that baby cranking) and they often feel the huge need to BE traditional precisely because there are all those young minds that need bending. And yes, when the change comes, it does seem like the "end of X civilization," just like when Elvis and The Beatles and Stones showed up. And yes, many prices will be paid and much of the culture transformed and made that much harsher by all that individualism (to include the freedom to be miserable), but people really are the same all over - when given the chance. No, that expression doesn't come in some archetypal "American" way. At the end of the day, Russians are still Russians and Chinese are still Chinese (go figure!), so the applications are always different.
It's just that the freedom impulse (far more economic in nature than political) is the basically the same: I get to do what I want, when I want, how I want, buying what I want, etc.
So no, no 50-year transformations required on the economics. It's the politics (single-party states in particular) that go slow.
That's what the military and intell people NEVER understand. They think the politics (aka, intentions) can go like "SNAP!" while the economics will never change (or capabilities change slowly).
Truth is, it's entirely the other way around. And all that economic freedom is what drives the super-fast technology adaptations (meaning HOW people use tech is nearly always more revolutionary than the tech itself).
Just my 2 cents .....

"They also directed us to some wonderfully located local beach restaurants, though sadly the food never matched the quality of dinner at Casa Rosada" guest review on Tripadvisor
Getting to know the staff of local restaurants can always be a help when making reservations on behalf of clients.A voice recognised at the end of the telephone I always think will make for a better service, and possibly a better table on arrival.
Most recently we selected two very different restaurants to try out in the company of friends.I say very different when I refer to style, but both establishments had two common denominators,phenomenal service,and a strong sense of nostalgia or saudade.
Restaurante Chaminé, Altura
The cover was excellent ,with a variety of breads, pate and special starters.The buttery sheeps cheese Monte da Vinha,served at room temperature with a spoon was especially good.For our mains I ordered the lamb cutlets in mint sauce, which were excellent, though looked over jealously at the fat veal steaks and lamb stew that my companions had ordered.
The food was well presented in a quaint old fashioned style and accompanied by a very good comprehensive wine list.A Chamine obviously has a great reputation, and I am loathe to be too critical of this place. It is very charming, and the staff are excellent and go out of their way to please you.The restaurant has been representative for Porrtuguese and Algarvian food in competitions abroad.Chef Feliciano has won several prizes in contests and gastronomic competitions among them the most recent"The golden cataplana"
|Mariza with Chef Feliciano
A Chaminé is a well run,familiar and typical Algarvian restaurant. Not trendy, but very much a family friendly place.

Restaurante Gilao, Tavira
Tudo azul,blue winter skies, warm sunshine and the
perfect time and place to find a table for a langourous lunch
Our second choice of establishment to check out was a classic and for me a very successful example of the Algarve re-inventing itself.
This restaurant shies away from the obvious, the easy and predictable, and instead brings surprises to the table that are clever takes on some of the most genuine and traditional of Algarvian gastronomy.This was more than a surprise, an example that should be followed for boldness and originality.We have very strong memories,(the Portuguese would call it saudade)of the old working market on the riverfront in Tavira.Alas the market closed and moved to a more modern location.Someone somewhere had the brainwave of injecting new life into the traditional markets of Portugal. Old buildings full of history have been reborn all over the country with creative and innovative restoration proposals for a change of use as restaurants.
In Tavira, right next to the Gilão River,the old Mercado de ribeira has a new restaurant, born from the ashes of a former family snack bar. The name derives from the neighbouring river and also designates the origin of many of the dishes they serve.The menu is extensive but in no way touristic and Gilao needs to be returned to several times to be able to sample the full potential of their menu.the layout spreads over three distinct spaces all displaying traces of this redefined modernity.
|before the lunchtime rush
The menu features the fantastic creations of chef Cecilia Paixão. Challenged by owner Ângela Botelho, she has built a menu highlighting the best of Algarvian produce from fish and seafood to mountain food.There is very little I would not want to try on this amazing menu.Its like a dream shopping trip, trying on different clothes and not knowing when to stop.
There is so much to discover here in this whim of re-invention.There is something for everyone ,so does one opt for the à la carte service or let yourself be tempted to try the surprising range of tapas? Who said tapas dont work in the Algarve? Paixão has proved it does and pitched at an audience that wants value for money.
There is a delicious baked camembert with raspberries (€ 4.50)(oh so Avillez!!!!)
The Pianinhos (baby pork ribs)in the oven in honey and mustard (€ 4.50) are a temptation, as well as the Skewered octopus on fried tomato toast (€ 6).
In all there are more than 20 tapas proposals for snacking and sharing with friends. Throughout the menu Alentejan influences pop up in the guise of a Migas of farinheira and egg with coriander and parmesan chips (€ 7). Shrimp,in piri-piri sauce and aged brandy (€ 11) puts a brilliant modern twist on the famous Taviran dish, Piri piri prawns with whisky and lemon
Local classics are also featured in the cockle stew with Xarém (€ 6), the stew of mussels in tomato sauce (€ 7).Another of my favourites, Raia alhada and mussels (€ 23), and the Bulhão Pato clams. If the idea is to share, lose yourself in the bold flavours of the Cataplana for two people, or choose between two more Alentejan classics, black pig cheeks and clams (€ 26),or the octopus with Aljezur sweet potatoes and black pudding (€ 26 ), pork tenderloins with grapes and sweet potatoes,where Paixão once again shows a brilliant conjugation of flavours.The Sweet potato is from Aljezur,its uniqueness geographically protected by the European Union.Signature dishes abound exhibiting Paixão´s creativity.You can spend as much or as little as you want at Gilão,you can mix and match and share and share alike from spicy chicken wings, garlic sauce and chili pepper at just (€ 3) or you can push the prawn out defying your purse strings and order the seafood in brandy sauce and coriander (€ 40)
Coming back down to earth with the phenomenal and daring Carré of lamb sealed in mango and rosemary sauce (€ 16).In a clear reference to the sea and the Algarve, allow yourself be tempted by the Robalo da costa escalado na grelha, batata a murro e manteiga de alho (€14) (butterflied sea bass on the grill, with punched potatoes and garlic butter (€ 14)
or my all time favourite, Polvo a lagareiro com batatas a murro (€13).Oh and I nearly forgot to mention the red velvet cake being given a rightful showing.
Tavira, has always had a rich, intelligent cuisine,but what one discovers at Gilão are some peculiar but very modern ways of using the most common foods.Set in a land of traditions and history, Tavira knows how to line your stomach to the full. For me, dare I say it, is one of the best destinations for sampling Algarve gastronomy.

Newt Gingrich, continuing his public crusade against Mitt Romney, mocked him for "sucking up" to President-elect Donald Trump, after the two men went to dinner together on Tuesday night.
Gingrich told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham, "You have never, ever in your career seen a serious adult who's wealthy, independent, has been a presidential nominee, suck up at the rate that Mitt Romney is sucking up," Gingrich said. He has actively voiced his discontent at the possibility of Romney serving as Secretary of State. Read more at POLITICO.

The legislature is back from Spring Break and ready to hit the ground running until the end of session. There's plenty of work to be done, but as always it's a pleasure for me to go to work for you in Springfield.
Legislative update
My bill, HB303, made a significant move forward last week, passing out of the House with a vote of 114-2. The bill amends the Illinois Freedom of Information Act to ban a government body from concealing the terms of a severance agreement funded by tax-payer dollars. It further defines the term "severance agreement" and provides protection for trade secrets, proprietary information, or other exempt information. It is now in the Senate being sponsored by Republican Caucus Chair, Senator Althoff.
The College of DuPage is under intense scrutiny and the subject of investigations right now for a number of reasons including a severance agreement reached between the board and its former president. Efforts to seal the terms of this agreement led to overall attention being given to the issue of sealed severance agreements throughout the Illinois public sectors. I have made government openness and transparency a major focus of my efforts in Springfield.
HB1335, colloquially known as the "right to try" act, seeks to give patients with no hope one last chance. The bill allows for terminal patients who have exhausted all other clinical options to bypass the lengthy FDA approval process and "try" drugs that are still in its clinical trials. These are drugs which have successfully passed Phase 1 testing but have not yet been approved for general use. The FDA process can take years, which many of these patients do not have. A similar bill introduced by Senator Connelly, passed the senate the same day.
HB208 designates pumpkin pie as the official State pie of Illinois. The bill was approved by the House on Thursday, April 16 by a vote of 108-3-2. In discussion on the bill, Representative Keith Sommer told us about the importance of the traditional American dessert to his hometown. Bills like these, while not of vital importance to the state, are good for business and tourism. The University of Illinois reports that this plant, combined with the work of area purchasers of whole pumpkins for transport and sale, mean that approximately ninety percent of the pumpkins grown in the United States for commercial sale are cultivated in the region of Peoria, Illinois. The slogan of the Village of Morton is "The Pumpkin Capital of the World."
New State Superintendent Appointed
The State Superintendent of Education is the supervisor of public schools and publicly-supported charter schools throughout Illinois. Dr. Tony Smith was appointed to the position this week. He has experience in educational management in both the public and the private sector. He is a past superintendent of the Oakland Unified School District, operating public schools in one of the largest cities in California.
The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), a nine-member panel appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, is the statewide school board that oversees distribution of state school aid and compliance with state and federal educational mandates. Departing State Superintendent Dr. Christopher Koch was thanked for his 21 years of educational leadership at ISBE, particularly his advocacy for students affected by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Last Wednesday was the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's death. Lincoln, a onetime state representative himself, was honored on the House floor with speeches and remembrances from various members. It was led by Representative Butler (R-Springfield) who represents the closest resembling district to the area that Lincoln had represented. Lincoln was shot while attending a play on the night of April 14th by actor John Wilkes Booth. He died the next morning, less than a week after General Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox symbolically ending the Civil War. Arguably our nation's greatest president and Illinois' most favorite son, he is remembered as the liberator of slaves and the savior of the Union and a president who united the country in the darkest of times. If you'd like to read my full statement, you can do so at my website.
18th Congressional District Race Dates Set
Abraham Lincoln used a distant ancestor of this district as his springboard to serve one term in Congress in 1847-1849. Governor Rauner set amended dates for voters to fill the vacancy left by Aaron Schock on March 31st. In amended writs of special election finalized on Tuesday, April 14, Governor Bruce Rauner set dates of July 7 for the primary election to name two major-party candidates for the seat, and September 10 for the general election to allow voters to make a final selection.
The amended dates will allow for Illinois citizens living abroad, especially soldiers in combat zones, to vote by paper mail in both elections as required by law. Under the amended writs, candidates were able to file nomination papers with the State Board of Elections starting on Wednesday, April 15. At the close of business on Monday, April 20, all of the candidates for the congressional vacancy will have filed their petitions.
Devastating tornadoes struck central Illinois two weeks ago and destroyed an entire community. The main one was categorized as an EF-4 twister, the next-to-the-highest category of storm severity. In the town of Fairdale, 34 homes were destroyed, 16 suffered major damage, and another 22 suffered minor damage. I would ask that you pray for the families affected and take any and all weather alerts seriously.
Please visit the Village of Kirkland website for updates on the area and to see how you can help our fellow Illinoisans out.
Ribbon Cutting and Open House
Last week the Frankfort, Mokena, and New Lennox Chambers of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting for my office. About 100 people celebrated with us; including area business leaders, numerous local elected officials, the three Chamber of Commerce presidents and the Mayors of Frankfort, Mokena, and New Lenox. I thank the Chambers for hosting our event and the volunteers who put the whole thing together to help make it such a success!
Speaking of the new office, join us this Saturday, April 25th anytime between 9:30am and 12pm for an Open House! My office has moved from where Representative Kosel conducted her business and I'd encourage everyone to come out and see the new space. The office is located at 11032 W Lincoln Hwy in Frankfort.
Teen Driving
I'm hosting a teen driving safety seminar on May 9th from 11am-1pm at the New Lenox Village Hall. The Illinois Secretary of State's office will be on hand with safety information and information about the Graduated Driving License program. Different rules and laws exist for teen drivers at different ages and it is important to understand this information to avoid getting in trouble. There will also be a distracted driving simulator so teens can see just how dangerous it can be to use a cellphone or get distracted in any other way while driving. Space is limited so please have your teen registered by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Persian and Greek Lute

A stunning collaboration between the Iranian Kamancheh player, Ardeshir Kamkar, and the Greek pontic lyra player Mathaios Tsahouridis.
The two instruments are related. From wiki: The kamānche or kamāncha (Persian: کمانچه ) is a Persian bowed string instrument related to the bowed rebab, the historical ancestor of the kamancheh and also to the bowed lira of the Byzantine Empire, ancestor of the European violin family.

Project Martin
GamerOn Studios
Project Martin puts us into Martin's shoes, a 10 years old kid lost in a library captured by darkness.
Martin will run through the library to find his lost friend, facing darkness' powers behind the spells.
To restore the harmony, he will need to wipe out the darkness from every bewitched zone with the help of his magical oil lamp.
With a strong storyline, Project Martin seeks on the one hand to encourage players to investigate and discover everything contained in the game. On the other hand, the action and suspense breaks with the usual tempo found in other games, which tend to forget gameplay and focus on the storyline.
The use of light into the darkness is a constant through the game. Martin and the magical oil lamp will evolve in the diferent rooms of the library, leading to unexpected changes in their abilities. For the first time, RTS and MOBA genres together in a videogame, with its two different gameplays: Commands an army as a classic RTS or take control of a MOBA hero in a battle arena.

Mega-events don't exist.
There is no point in using the term "mega-event" except as a convenient placeholder for the impossibly complex, intersecting, mutually dependent and independently functioning elements that come together to produce whatever the "mega-event" is.
Deconstructing the World Cup and Olympics and organizing them into intelligible, digestible bits that can be understood is, perhaps, within the realm of possibility. Understanding the hundreds of millions of moving parts and how they come together to give us something like the 2014 FIFA World Cup is impossible. Pulling on a loose thread may begin to unravel the general structure, but without understanding the whole at the end of the day you're left with a pile of micro-fibers.
So, let's stop talking about mega-events and start talking about "accelerated process of socio-spatial transformation punctuated by signature global events". Not very catchy, I know. How about "vicious circles of creative destruction marked by overlapping sovereignties, deliberately vague responsibility frontiers, and the imposition of homogeneous and globalized consumer cultures". Perhaps something more pithy? Hmmm…"the normalization of a condition of political exception that generates the compulsory acceptance of a consumptive ritual decoupled from its ontological moorings." Hard to put an acronym on that. Oh well. Perhaps my degree in philosophy will come in handy while discussing the non-existent.
It must be because the mega-event doesn't exist that no one can take ultimate responsibility for the processes it unleashes and the impacts it generates. FIFA can't be blamed for the transportation infrastructures that cities choose to install. The cities can't be blamed for wanting to host the World Cup. The state can't take responsibility for the way that FIFA goes about its business, though they could refuse to get on their knees to bring the event. Sponsors can't be blamed for the human rights violations that pave the way for their profits. The security demands of the event attend to the real and perceived risks that the event itself generates. No event, no risk? Or is the risk in not having the event?
I am not trying to hedge my bets here, but trying to make sense of the arguments, displays, discussions and presentations from Soccerex over the last three days. There are billions of dollars of public funds in play. This money, although also fictitious and conceptual, has very real effects and could be put to uses other than hosting a month long soccer tournament. Because no one has ultimate responsibility over the way in which this money is spent and the effect it has, before smashing the Cup on the ground to see what it's made of we've got to continually step back to look at the Cup as an object: an object of desire, a goal in and of itself, a process, a social construction, a symbol, a moment, and a means to various, valorous and nefarious ends. In Brazil, this Cup runneth over with problems, contradictions, intransient bureaucracy, narrow political agendas, nepotism, corruption, graft, conflicting interests, ill-conceived projects, forced removals, rule by decree, a lack of effective urban planning and the funneling of public money to private hands in one of the most unequal societies in the world - quite a lot for something that doesn't exist.

9/19/07- New Developments
So far there hasn't really been much going on in the world of Chester and Grace but I haven't really been idle as far as they go. As I continue to write the book, I have received some new documents that pertain to Grace from her grandnephew, Robert Williams on July 11 of this year. Among the new pieces of information is a detailed account of Grace's ancestry that dates back to the Mayflower. This information will be in my book, which at press time is called The Murder That Will Never Die: The Murder of Grace Brown. I am still hoping to get the book done and out by the end of the year.
On August 25, almost a year to the day that I went down to Cortland and South Otselic, I finally went up to Big Moose Lake for a day trip. I went on a tour boat ride and went out to the scene where Grace was murdered and it was really lovely up there. The road up to the Adirondacks appeared to be virtually unchanged from when Chester and Grace went up there by train 101 years earlier. I wrote an account of my trip on my other site. And just for the record, I did not see Grace's ghost up at the lake, even though there is a photo of her on this page. The photo of Grace's ghost comes from the famous Unsolved Mysteries episode from 1996.
I am still waiting on several pieces of information but otherwise, as far as the book goes I am in pretty good shape.

Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
As much as we use it daily, Google and searching in general, remains a massively under utilized tool and skill.
Several of you are going to think this is the stupidest, most obvious recommendation ever.
And I know that most of you already know, love and use Google as your primary search engine. In fact, that's how most people find Ask Leo! in the first place, and it's what powers the search you'll find on every page.
I probably don't need to convince you that it's useful.
The problem is that most people don't use it well.
By "well", I mean that when searching for particular bits of information, many people enter over-general, or over-specific, search terms. As a result they either don't find what they're looking for even though it's out there, or spend way too much time manually wading through search results.
It doesn't have to be like that. My wife often challenges me to look something up for her, and it's rare that I can't get exactly what she was looking for on the first page of search results, often in the number one spot. How? By knowing how searches work, and choosing my search terms carefully. It's as simple ... and as complex ... as that.
A friend of mine, Tara Calishain, has written a book, Web Search Garage, that I highly recommend. It can really help improve your "Googling" skills. (It actually applies to all search engines.) You can read more about the book, and why I recommend it so strongly here: "Web Search Garage".
Regardless of whether you get that book, or use other resources or techniques to do it, my strongest recommendation is simply to improve your search engine skills. Google is an unbelievably powerful tool, and it really is worth the time invested in learning to use it effectively.
Article C2471 - November 25, 2005 « »
I totally agree with your complements of google,it sure was difficult to search prior to google. Recently i've experienced a problem concerning google. I've used Firefox for years and have google as my search engine, About a week ago google was replaced by "INBOX.com",and i can't uninstall it,sure, they tell you how but it doesn't work for me. I uninstalled Firefox.reinstalled and the darn inbox is there again. So i'm using IE7. I sent a note to Firefox but their filter probably threw it out.js
Leo....during a basic computer course I took at our local Community College, the instructor made the point that searches work best by typing into the Google block your search terms in descending order of importance,..forget sentence structure, etc. That has worked pretty well for me...
Someone made a criticism about this article not sharing any tips. I also was hoping to find some quick tips, and followed a couple of links on this site to find them...the article on this site: "The one skill you should hone" has some information and a link to a different page called "Using Search Engines - A Tutorial." Just an FYI for anyone esle who was disappointed not to see any examples.
Carmen - it's not a tip posting, it's a sales posting to sell Web Search Garage. "The killer in your spice cabinet --- details at 11:00".
Hi Leo,
I was asked to give a presentation on using Google by our genealogy group and was amazed at the information I found and presented (omg, only 1 hour). Another source I would recommend is http://www.googleguide.com/ by Nancy Blachman. There are cheat sheets for quick reference and even a complete presentation you can use with proper license requirements.
My hint is to try Google Images instead of Google Web under certain circumstances. Examples: When searching for a free music score to print out. When searching for people with the name Orpin I am able to weed out the sites which are instantly recognizable as relating to the plant 'orpin'. I am more able to zero in on village of Hastings Ontario web sites in a sea of Hastings County Ontario web sites - from recognizing known images.
Simplest and easiest way to get more relevant results is to put what you really want in quotation marks. Example: I recently did a search for a particular carnival ride, the Space Roller. First search turned up many different results , all with either space or roller in the text fields. Everything from NASA sites to machinery. After I bonked myself on the head for forgetting such a simple thing I reentered with "Space Roller" and my whole first page was articles and videos pertaining to the ride in question.
Great thing about Google is that it offers information how to fine tune your search. From using quote marks, for results of an exact phrase, to logic operators. They even have a link for more advanced search parameters that give you the exact tools to narrow your search. What can I say about Google that hasn't already been said about sliced bread?
I have always been a loyal Yahoo user. My attempts to use Google have not convinced me that it is any better. Everything I read above regarding Google is available with Yahoo.
Can anyone tell me what is better about Google compared Yahoo?
Thanks in advance.

Nicholas Kirkwood, one of our all-time favourite shoe designers, has done it again. The spring '14 collection is a triumph of architectural design meets ingenious fabrications, and smokin' hot colour ways. Yes, you are right in thinking we really rather like it.
The designer cites Morocco and the '70s as the leading inspiration points, though if you're thinking this will lead to a collection bursting with pointed slippers and sky-scraper platforms then you'd be wrong. It's all in the details, think Moroccan-punched leather detailing on a putty-coloured high heel and acid bright block heels. Click through to see a preview of the shoes we know we're going to be dreaming about for months to come. Like this post? There's more.

Raw & the Cooked
- Featured: Albach Classcial Guitar Duo
- Release Date: 7/31/2007
David Black was born in 1978 in Bangor, North Wales and began playing the guitar at the age of 10. In 2000 he graduated with first Class Honours from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and in 2004 he completed an MMus at the Royal College of Music, London -- studying guitar with Gary Ryan and lute with Jakob Lindberg. Since college, David has been busy performing a wide range of music on guitar, lute and electric guitar. Performances include the Vivaldi double guitar concerto with the Orchestra of St John Smith's Square; the Concierto des Aranjuez at the Ulster Hall, Belfast; a featured concert at the Dundee Guitar Festival and 2nd prize at the International Guitar Competition there. David's recent concerts include performances with the Albach duo in Germany, with the contemporary music group 'rarescale' in San Francisco (Old First Concerts), and at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. Rebecca Baulch was born in 1978 in London and began playing the guitar when she was 6, taught by her parents. Rebecca then studied at the Purcell School of Music where she was a scholar under the Music and Ballet Schools scheme, and at the Royal College of Music where she was a Foundation Scholar. Rebecca's career has taken her to concert halls and festivals all over the world, including the Wigmore Hall, The Purcell Room, St George's Bristol, festivals in New York, Oregon, Italy, France, Germany and Hungary, and she has appeared on BBC1, BBC3, BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM. Rebecca teaches at Blackheath Conservatoire and Trinity College Junior Department. She is also a member of the Appassionata Guitar Trio with Hayley Savage and Amanda Cook, and has recorded two CDs with the trio: Let Go (BGS 111) and Watersmeet (Cadenza Music CACD 0603)

Many years ago I read a little book called "The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How To Recognize It And How To Respond", by Patricia Evans. I still recommend this book (despite its unfortunate tendency toward anti-male bias) for its admirable job of highlighting the many types of verbal abuse. These include many subtle forms that may slip by unnoticed, such as discounting ("Oh, that's nothing"), blocking ("I don't want to talk about it"), diverting ("That's not the real issue, this is"),and trivializing ("Whatever"), all of which reinforce an unbalanced power dynamic.
When I'm providing couples counseling it is inevitable that each person will be a slightly different "place" in the change process. To begin with, it's not unusual for one person to initially be more interested in being in a counseling office than the other. It's probably fair to say that in some fundamental way each partner in a relationship is in a different "place" than the other. Healthy partners don't need to be at the same place as each other all the time in order to function well.
The idea that a relationship between two people is a 50-50 proposition seems both obvious and fair. If both people pull their fair share, the partnership will stay balanced and healthy, right? It seems only logical that to achieve a fulfilling relationship both parties must uphold their half of the bargain. But relationships are too important to "meet in the middle".
When I am counseling a couple to improve some troubling aspect of their life together, sometimes it is very easy to determine who owns most of the responsibility for change. For example, if one person has an affair it's not appropriate to say that his or her partner is somehow "to blame" for the infidelity. There are better ways than infidelity to handle dissatisfaction.
I recently saw a humorous refrigerator magnet with a sentence that I thought was brilliantly true:
"The most difficult year of marriage is THIS one."
"The most difficult year of marriage is THIS one."
Long-term relationships take work, and that's what makes them worthwhile. The idea that a marriage is easy probably accounts for the high percentage of divorces in this country. People get disillusioned because the initial chemical high of early love wears off. It often takes the consistent and long-term work of real attachment for couples to maintain stability, to say nothing of the effort required to maintain true dynamic growth in the relationship.

Dear Friends and Families of Oak Lane,
One of the greatest joys for parents is when your child does not want to leave school. As Oak Lane Day Care parents, many of you have experienced the same thing, whether it was with your children 20 years ago or just last year. It is thanks to the loving and play centered environment at Oak Lane Day Care.
As you know and appreciate, Oak Lane Day Care is a small non-profit organization that provides loving, quality childcare and education for children ages 6 weeks to four years old. Situated on the campus of the Westtown School, Oak Lane offers a vibrant, play-centered environment where young children are encouraged to use their creativity and imaginations every single day.
Oak Lane continues into its 26th year to nurture and mold our littlest ones into curious, kind, and vibrant preschoolers. Its dedicated staff continue to keep alive the values that make Oak Lane so special, while working to better our children's home away from home.
Tuition covers only a portion of the operating expenses of Oak Lane. The center relies on gifts to the Annual Fund to cover its expenses, as well as to fund special projects. It is our hope that you will support the continued effort at Oak Lane to provide children with a cozy, safe and caring home away from home, by making a donation to the Annual Fund Drive. Your tax-deductible gift of any amount will be appreciated and will benefit the children served by Oak Lane.
Thank you for considering a gift to Oak Lane Day Care, and for your continued support of this 24-year old child-centered program serving families in the West Chester community. Please, support this special place. Every gift, no matter the amount, has a significant impact, and the children are the ultimate beneficiaries of your generosity. We greatly appreciate your tax deductible donations in the form of either a check (made out to Oak Lane Day Care) or an electronic donation at this link: Please Donate.
With gratitude,
The Oak Lane Board of Advisors
