—City Creates Ambient Entertainment Permit Program for Eligible Establishments —
The Mayor and City Commission approved an Ambient Entertainment Permit Program to provide an avenue for Miami Beach restaurants north of 40 Street and within the Collins Park area to conduct live or recorded performances at an ambient volume level — without creating a vested right to conduct entertainment. Per the ordinance, these indoor performances must be at volume level that does not interfere with normal conversation and locations must ensure that windows and doors remain closed while ambient performances are taking place.
"At the request of both residents and area businesses, we introduced this initiative to create equity between recorded ambient music played on stereos at restaurants — something that is already allowed — and ambient music to be played in person by musicians," said Commissioner John Elizabeth Alemán. "I can now look forward to our local establishments bringing live entertainment for their patrons to enjoy."
The ordinance includes stringent operating rules, the ability to revoke a permit if rules are violated, a limited number of permits and penalties. Additionally, it will not be applicable in districts that prohibit entertainment.

The Resurrection of Brandon Roy
Something special happened today. On the eve of Easter, basketball fans everywhere saw a different type of resurrection. The one of Brandon Roy.
Down by as much as 23 points, Roy led the Portland Trail Blazers to an inspiring win against the Dallas Mavericks to even the series at 2-2 heading into Monday's matchup in Dallas. It was an amazing game, but more importantly, it was a true showing of an All-Star player that no one — including Roy himself — imagined would be able to be on display ever again.
It was sad to see him go through what he did during the regular season and the first two games of this playoff series following his double knee surgery earlier this year. Roy is a classy guy. Forget about his runaway selection as the 2007 Rookie of the Year. Or being named an NBA All-Star the three years following. Ignore how Roy became the face of the Blazers; lifting the franchise from the cellars of the league to a legit contender. In a span of a typical NBA game quarter (12 minutes), Roy proved to all of his doubters…and himself, that he's back and will…no, have faced and stared adversity straight in the eye.
It was an emotional game. I'm sure for Roy and his teammates as seen in how they embraced him after the final buzzer. But I'm talking about the fans. Twitter was buzzing with tweets about the game and Roy. The term "Brandon Roy" is still trending on Twitter in Portland and Dallas! Like I said earlier, Roy is a classy guy. That's why fans everywhere, not just in Portland, wants him to come back strong following his injuries. Seeing what just happened earlier today gave me hope that Roy still has what it takes to be a great player in the league. It was an awe-inspiring game; one that Blazer fans and I'm sure, Roy and his teammates, will never forget.
Brandon Roy…where amazing happened.
Update: Saw this awesome video on YouTube. Enjoy!

The HSE and UCC have this week published a new cookbook aimed at providing high-calorie, high-protein recipes for the estimated 145,000 people in Ireland who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition.
- Contains practical, compassionate advice and 100 recipes to help with unintentional weight loss
- Estimated 145,000 people in Ireland are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition
- HSE healthcare professionals can order copies of the book for their patients at www.hse.ie/nutritionsupports
*It is important to discuss with your nurse, doctor or dietitian if this cookbook is appropriate for you*
Created by dietitians and chefs, Making the Most of Every Bite contains easy to prepare and nourishing recipes, which have been enriched with extra energy and protein to help slow down or prevent weight-loss associated with illness.
Rapid, unplanned weight-loss can be detrimental to health and is one of the most distressing symptoms patients can experience. Unfortunately, eating and maintaining a healthy weight can be difficult for people experiencing conditions, such as cancer, Crohn's Disease or advanced dementia. It can also be a factor for older people living alone, and for those who are undergoing treatment such as major surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Maintaining a healthy weight is a main nutritional priority when fighting illness.
'Making the Most of Every Bite': a high protein high calorie resource for the estimated 145,000 Irish people malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. Developed @UCC in collaboration with @HSELive @trust_indi. Thanks to Minister for Heath @SimonHarrisTD. https://t.co/oXGvweJk7n pic.twitter.com/bgZaorQ6hh— Aoife Ryan PhD (@aoiferyan30) March 21, 2018
Dr Sharon Kennelly, Registered Clinical Specialist Dietitian and Nutrition Project Lead, HSE Primary Care, notes the importance of identifying patients who are at risk of malnutrition and intervening quickly:
"Malnutrition is a serious healthcare issue in Ireland today, but healthcare professionals working in the community are well-placed to recognise the risk. This new toolkit is designed to support them in providing first-line defence. A food-based approach should always be part of the first steps in managing malnutrition and we are delighted to partner with dietetic colleagues in UCC to make this cookbook available to people who can benefit from it. We have piloted it with a small number of patients and family members who are supporting loved ones, and the feedback has been very positive."
Making the Most of Every Bite is a new high-calorie, high-protein cookbook for patients and their carers. It contains over 100 delicious and recipes to help those at risk of malnutrition manage their nutrition and avoid weight loss. Visit: https://t.co/uaXmpYfG6E pic.twitter.com/sY3Mm7k8TH— HSE Ireland (@HSELive) March 21, 2018
Dr Aoife Ryan, Lecturer in Nutritional Sciences at UCC and one of the authors of the cookbook said:
"It is important to make sure that the food you eat is as nourishing as possible when your appetite is poor or when you are finding it difficult to maintain your weight when ill. These recipes are easy to make, nutritious and give people new ideas at a time when lack of appetite can bring additional distress. The comfort and normality of eating at times of illness is something that cannot be underestimated."
Making the Most of Every Bite also contains further information about problems which may affect eating, and practical advice and tips on how to combat them. For example: dealing with a change in appetite, persistent fatigue, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation, indigestion and reflux. It "easy to chew and swallow" recipes, which are ideal if you have a sore mouth, difficulty swallowing or if you are put off by the sight of a plate of food. All recipes use typical household ingredients and can be made in bulk and frozen for later use.
The 'Making the Most of Every Bite' cookbook is part of an online toolkit aimed at assisting first-line management of malnutrition in adults. The toolkit is available to view at www.hse.ie/nutritionsupports and the cookbook is available to view in the 'Public' section.
Please remember, it is important to discuss this cookbook with your nurse, doctor or dietitian to check whether it is appropriate for you. Your HSE healthcare professional can order a copy for you, if it is appropriate, free of charge.

Quote: Daisaku Ikeda on History
Hello! I have been putting these Quotes of the Day up on Sitzman ABC's Facebook page for a while, but I've always wanted to write a bit more about them here on the site. I'll not be able to do this for every quote, but I do want to do it more often, since I'm not happy about some changes Facebook has made to its pages and who sees them.
So, here's today's Quote of the Day:
"We are not merely pawns of historical forces; nor are we victims of the past. We can shape and direct history."
–Daisaku Ikeda
A few comments. First of all, there are some vocabulary words that may be difficult for some people:
pawn – A pawn is an insignificant or unimportant person who can't make choices. Also, if you play chess, a pawn is the piece that is the least valuable.
merely – This means the same thing as "only" or "just."
What do you think of the quote? Do you think that we are helpless, or do you think, like Ikeda, that we can take charge of our own future and our own destiny?
I thought it was a good quote. If you have any thoughts, please feel free to leave a comment. And if you have a Quote of the Day, please tell me. Thanks for reading!

Thoughts have power and energy within them. That's a fact. Some say, "As you think, so you become." Unfortunately, most of us just think the same old stuff over and over again, as if the mind runs by itself and has a "mind" of its own. It is on automatic pilot. THAT is a problem. While you are far more than your mind, it IS your mind. So pay attention. That pesky mind, when it aligns with the ego, can do a lot of damage. It can end up defining you in ways you might not prefer.
I have written on this subject before. I urge you to go back and look at Lesson 16. It offers a valuable means of monitoring and changing thought patterns. Following that practice was life changing for me. It could do the same for you. Try it.
Yoga and other spiritual paths are rich with words defining the mind. In fact, with regard to yoga, some would say understanding the mind and letting it go IS the definition of yoga. As Patanjali wrote in the Yoga Sutras:
Yoga is cessation of the modifications of the mind.
And in the Yoga Vasishtha:
The world is produced from the mind alone, like the waters of a mirage.
It manifests in the form of fleeting thoughts,
which are as illusory as the reflections of the moon on water.
Without doubt, these are potent concepts and not likely to appeal to those new to them. So let's take smaller steps. I have earlier written on thought monitoring and learning to know what you think, then taking action to alter those thoughts. This time I will draw from a course I studied some years ago. It is called The Sedona Method. The man who developed it, Lester Levenson, a highly successful and innovative physicist, entrepreneur in New York City, was in such ill-health and was, in effect, given a "death sentence" by his doctors. Instead of retreating and waiting to die, he found a means to help himself. Thus, The Sedona Method. Breaking it down into a nutshell does not do justice to his work, but here is a taste:
This provides an easy way to tell if you are thinking in the realm of the ego (not your "friend") or the True Self (the place of divine connection and alignment). When you are disturbed, ask yourself these questions:
- Is this thought about gaining control over something or someone?
- Am I looking for approval in this thought?
- Is my motivation the desire for survival?
If you are answering yes to one or more of these questions, then you are in the clutches of the ego (as defined in yoga, not by Freud). Remember the ego is the opposite of the Self. Some have said that the object of many spiritual paths is to recognize the ego and to dis-engage it or, some say, destroy it. I prefer the notion of recognizing it, noting it, and then sending it on its way — maybe even with a little laugh. The ego hates to be laughed at.
Try asking yourself these questions and see what results. We are functioning in this world play, so guidelines are helpful. By the way, when I started doing this years ago, I was often answering "yes" to all three questions. I had previously "thought" I was doing pretty well in life. Why? Because my ego was answering the question. Be patient. It might take a little while to get the "hang" of it.
As always, do not use any of these lessons to judge or berate yourself. Not EVER! Remember that you love yourself completely NOW, even if your thoughts are in disarray. They are just thoughts, After all, and not who YOU are, at the core of your Divine Being.
Erwin Schrodinger, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933, wrote:
Every man's world picture is and always remains a construct of his mind and cannot be proved to have any other existence.

Chipotle says malware hack stole customer payment info
Let see. They started out as a Mexican eatery, until they made 100's of people across the country sick.
There had a series of outbreaks involving E. coli, salmonella, and norovirus at Chipotle restaurants in cities nationwide. The outbreaks are collectively responsible for sickening at least 500 people.
Two separate E. coli outbreaks sickened more than 60 customers at Chipotle restaurants in 14 states late last year.
In August 2014, a norovirus outbreak linked to a Simi Valley, California, Chipotle restaurant in August 2014 sickened about 230 customers, according to public records obtained by Food Safety News. Another norovirus outbreak in Boston last year sickened more than 200 people and salmonella-tained tomatoes at 22 Chipotle restaurants in Minnesota were responsible for sickening 64 people.
They paid some of the people that got sick with free burritos. I don't know if I would have taken the chance of eating them.
In 2016, possibly in desperation, they started pushing burgers trying to find a new niche.
If they didn't have bad luck, they wouldn't have any at all. Now some hungry hackers stole all of their customers credit card information. Holy Hamburger Batman!!
I don't have an answer for the Mexican burger joint is, except, maybe get into selling cars or something. They seem to be beating their heads against the wall in the restaurant department.
I can't believe that they are still doing business after such a poor track record.
Bon Appetit you all!!

"The College Dropout" rapper, some may say Kanye has dropped even further down into the "sunken place". Kanye, or "Ye" as he just changed his name prior to appearing on Saturday Night Live, came out wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat. According to Fox News, Kanye's performance ended and instead of thanking SNL, the audience, fans, etc, Yeezy proceeds to go into a Pro-Trump rant where he mentioned they tried to bully him backstage into NOT wearing the infamous MAGA hat. He talked about taking the black man out of the home and putting them on welfare being a Democratic plan.
Ye said, "There's so many times I talk to a white person and [they] say, 'How could you like Trump, he's racist?' Well, if I was concerned about racism I would've moved out of America a long time ago." He also mentioned running for President in 2020 and while this is going on, SNL cast can be seen standing behind Kanye rolling their eyes and shaking their heads. Audience members, including Chris Rock, was recording this rant. Chris Rock can be heard sniggling and giggling (snickering) and saying "Oh my God" as he records on his Instagram Live.
Trump later tweeted, "Like many, I don't watch Saturday Night Live (even though I past hosted it) - no longer funny, no talent or charm. It is just a political ad for the Dems. Word is that Kanye West, who put on a MAGA hat after the show (despite being told "no"), was great. He's leading the charge!"
Kanye West also said in an interview with TMZ that, "I've been calling Colin [Kaepernick] this morning, reaching him so that I can bring Colin to the White House and we can remove that 'sons of b*&%^s' statement and we can be on the same page," West said. Colin, who started his police brutality protest in 2016, has received a lot of backlash from the Prezzi. Trump has managed to portray Colin's police brutality protest as an alleged attack against the United States flag and the individuals who fought for the flag. However, some people are in support of a Colin and Trump meeting including Senator Lindsey Graham and ex-NFL star Marcellus Wiley. Would you support such a meeting? What are your thoughts?

It is with great regret that we are forced to cancel the Denver Suitcase Party. We have been trying to get this event "off the ground" for the last three years. This year, we were very excited to have the opportunity to hold it at an incredible venue and the way this event was designed, with a jet present. Unfortunately, we were unable to attract enough sponsors and people to this event to make it worth the expenditure. Charity events depend on RSVP's and we did not receive enough to warrant moving forward with this event.
We are sure some organization will take up the mantle and execute this event successfully one day.
Current ticket holders will be contacted on 9/27/18 regarding refunds. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

Congenital vertebral malformations (CVM) are common in brachycephalic 'screw-tailed' dogs; they can be associated with neurological deficits and a genetic predisposition has been suggested. The purpose of this study was to evaluate radiography as a screening method for congenital thoracic vertebral malformations in brachycephalic 'screw-tailed' dogs by comparing it with CT. Forty-nine dogs that had both radiographic and CT evaluations of the thoracic vertebral column were included. Three observers retrospectively reviewed the images independently to detect CVMs. When identified, they were classified according to a previously published radiographic classification scheme. A CT consensus was then reached. All observers identified significantly more affected vertebrae when evaluating orthogonal radiographic views compared with lateral views alone; and more affected vertebrae with the CT consensus compared with orthogonal radiographic views. Given the high number of CVMs per dog, the number of dogs classified as being CVM free was not significantly different between CT and radiography. Significantly more midline closure defects were also identified with CT compared with radiography. Malformations classified as symmetrical or ventral hypoplasias on radiography were frequently classified as ventral and medial aplasias on CT images. Our results support that CT is better than radiography for the classification of CVMs and this will be important when further evidence of which are the most clinically relevant CVMs is identified. These findings are of particular importance for designing screening schemes of CVMs that could help selective breeding programmes based on phenotype and future studies.

Learning to Speak Up
The Tools For Self-Advocacy
Last month's article was about how it can be hard for some of us to say no or ask for something different when it comes to sex and pleasure. To be clear, a no is always a no, a request for less or different touch must always be respected. But even those of us who can stand up for ourselves when it comes to our jobs, chores around the house or family relationships can at times feel less empowered to do so in our intimate connections. For those of us who recognize this challenge in ourselves, how can we be better prepared for self-advocacy around our bodies and pleasure? It might be hard to know and/or feel confident to ask for what we want, whether it is the first or the thousandth encounter. Like many aspects of life, listening to ourselves and communicating with another are skills that come with practice.
The saying goes that practice makes perfect. In this case though, improvement may be a more realistic goal. Sometimes we need to take baby steps along the way, being gentle with ourselves and our progress. Practice can happen in real life, or as a kind of role play in our minds, in a journal, with a friend or therapist or even out loud to ourselves (the shower is a great time for that). If you can remember an encounter where you feel like you did not stand up for yourself, play it again with the intention of a different outcome. Rather than beating yourself up for what you did not do, transform the moment into what you might have said or done. What did the other person say or do that you did not respond honestly to? What could you have said or done in that instance that would be truer to yourself? Be honest with yourself about why you have not spoken up in the past and how you can commit to changing that pattern one step at a time. Practice saying things like
I'm not really into that, but how about we _________?
I don't think that this is working for me. What about _____________?
I prefer my hand here or (Please) don't move my head/ hand.
Can we slow down? It is going too fast for me to know what I want.
I am feeling uncomfortable and I am not sure why. Can we stop and talk?
I know we have done this before, but it does not seem to be working for me anymore. Let's try something different.
Pay Attention
Some of us have developed a knack for not paying attention to what our gut is telling us. Unfortunately, our gut sometimes yells at us later for not listening and we might then feel regret, anger, sadness, and/or abandonment among other emotions. Start paying attention to what you are feeling. Think about how you will know if you feel uncomfortable or even unsafe. Check in with yourself more regularly during the day and of course during erotic encounters. Once you pay more attention, you will likely feel more in general, including pleasure.
Notice any internal conflicts about what you want and what you think you should want or like. Notice if you freeze, a common stress reaction. Those of us with a history of violence can become "spectators". This is a coping strategy where we mentally leave our bodies and watch ourselves having sex in the third person while we have an internal anxious dialogue about what is going on or should happen. This is an important phenomenon to become aware of in order to work towards remaining more present to the experience.
Long-Term Relationships
Sometimes changing the dynamic in a long-term relationship can feel especially daunting. When you have kids and/or a shared living space and/or joint finances at stake, it can feel like a real risk to speak up. Chances are though, unless your partner really does not care about you, speaking up and changing things would likely improve the relationship for both of you. There is nothing sexier than knowing that your partner is having a great time. If you are holding back or enduring, your partner likely knows and also may not be sure what to do. Check out the article on communication and try bringing up the topic outside of sex.
An Escape Plan
If you are connecting with someone new or with whom you sometimes feel unsafe, decide on an escape plan ahead of time. How are you going to get out? What is your strategy if you are being pressured, the other uses a slur against you, or blames you for starting something you won't finish? Will you call 911? A friend? Just leave? Ensure you have money to pay for a ride home. Know what your choices are before you start.
Draw up some boundaries ahead of time
We can always change our minds, but it can still be helpful to anticipate what we might be interested in doing ahead of time. There are many gray areas in between no touch and intercourse. Be as specific as you can be with your desires. Besides, it can be really sexy to approach a sexual encounter with an idea as to what you want to do. And not doing everything can add some great erotic tension with a partner who is respectful of your needs.
Be Realistic
Set a goal for yourself, such as asking for one thing or redirecting one request per sexual encounter. Or decide that you will check in with your gut and feelings at least twice over the course of each sexual interaction. Commit to evaluating your progress and celebrating small victories of change. Your sexual patterns are likely not going to completely change overnight, especially with a regular partner. But with some conviction, effort and bravery, finding a new no or a request for something different can result in huge changes in pleasure, connection and self-confidence.

Forget the fake news for a second. It's real enough but the most insidious assaults on democracy come in the form of endless "opinion shapers" and legislation from right-wing think tanks and lobbyists doing the bidding of an American oligarchy.
I just finished reading a piece in CommonWealth which argues that the Fair Share Amendment is liberal-elitist. The author, Josh McCabe of Wellesley College's Freedom Project, says that by increasing taxes on multi-millionaires the federal SALT (state and local tax) exemption will be triggered, permitting gazillionaires to pay lower federal taxes. McCabe goes on to say that SALT has cost the feds about $100 billion in revenues and states will have to scramble to pay for their own services out of pocket. He asks:
"The amendment means residents of poor states such as Mississippi (ranked 50th in per capita income) will partially subsidize residents of wealthy Massachusetts (ranked third in per capita income). In what sense is it fair to place some of the burden on Mississippi to pay for schools in Wellesley or roads in Andover?
If this sounds almost reasonable on the surface, consider for a moment that the super-rich already pay lower tax rates than wage earners and have many opportunities and legions of tax lawyers helping them to avoid paying their fair share. States like Massachusetts that want to raise taxes to pay for services are simply being smarter and more responsible to their citizens than, say, Mississippi. And Mississippi is already a drain on the rest of the nation, particularly Blue States, receiving $2.02 in federal money for every $1 their citizens pay in taxes. Nice try, though, Mr. McCabe.
Besides following the money it's always a good idea to see who's advocating for tax breaks for the super-rich. Predictably, the Freedom Project (as in "freedom" from paying taxes) is dedicated to the free market fundamentalism of Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman and Friedrich August von Hayek.
Oh, and did I forget to mention that Wellseley's Freedom Project is bought and paid for by Charles Koch?
So nice of CommonWealth to give them a free platform.
* * *
And, while we're still talking about oligarchs: if you were watching the British election and envied the Brits their chance to call an election and throw out the government, you're not alone.
Impeachment right now seems like the only option open to citizens, but Paul Street's article Impeach the U.S. Constitution points out that the real problem is our system of government — not factionalism, not Donald Trump.
Yes, the Founding Fathers were either high on crack when they came up with this insane system — or the founding slavemasters were intent on building an oligarchy. Turns out, it was the latter:
I am always darkly amused when I hear one of my fellow Americans call for a return from our current "deep state" plutocracy and empire to the supposedly benevolent and democratic rules and values of the nation's sacred founders and Constitution. Democracy was the last thing the nation's founders wanted to see break out in the new republic. Drawn from the elite propertied segments in the new republic, most of the delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention shared their compatriot John Jay's view that "Those who own the country ought to govern it."
As the celebrated U.S. historian Richard Hofstader noted in his classic 1948 text, "The American Political Tradition and the Men Who Made It": "In their minds, liberty was linked not to democracy but to property." Democracy was a dangerous concept to them, conferring "unchecked rule by the masses," which was "sure to bring arbitrary redistribution of property, destroying the very essence of liberty."
Donald Trump is their crowning achievement.

OYSTER BOY (872 Queen West, at Massey, 416-534-3432) Casually chic shellfish shack from the folks responsible for nearby Swan. Warning: gets crowded early, and reservations are not accepted. Complete meals for $40 per person, including all taxes, tip and a glass of wine. Open Tuesday and Wednesday 5 to 11:30 pm, Thursday and Friday 5 pm to midnight, Saturday noon to midnight. Closed Sunday and Monday. Fully licensed. Access: one step at door, small washrooms on same floor. Rating: NNN
like a lot of spots these days, Oyster Boy uses the Internet to advertise. Owned by the folks responsible for nearby uber-diner Swan, this just-opened shellfish shack plugs its Web site -- www.oysterboy.com -- on its business card and printed menu. Only problem is, no such URL currently exists.
That doesn't stop me. Being an intrepid surfer, I Google-search the words "oyster" and "boy."
Whoa! Here's what turns up: a Bakersfield, California, punk band named Oyster Boy announcing a gig at a hometown pizzeria; a short story collection titled The Melancholy Death Of Oyster Boy, authored by film director Tim Burton; a snapshot of a forlorn greyhound dubbed Oyster Boy, an also-ran in last year's Dutch Derby; the e-mail address of heavy metalurgists Blue Oyster Cult (oysterboy@aol. com); and a DIY porn site called, ahem, Oyster Boy's Thumb.
Everything but the Oyster Boy.
The real thing can be found on Queen West, but the Literary Device has trouble locating it. She bikes by twice as I watch through the venetian blinded front window from my longlegged chair at an equally tall, bare wooden table.
Her innate sense of misdirection gives me plenty of time to check out Oyster Boy's classy swellegance: cool blue walls, a lengthy bar offset by a blue-and-white backsplash, framed maps 'n' snaps reinforcing the down- east vibe, Stompin' Tom and Hank Snow on the CD player. Exhausted, she eventually stumbles in.
Since Oyster Boy bills itself as a raw oyster bar, we start with a selection of molluscs on the half-shell -- plump, briny Malpeques that dissolve in the mouth, equally rich yet subtle species from Wallace Bay, Nova Scotia, and Cape Bretton's Bras d'Or Lake and tiny, shallow-cupped Belons that pack a punch, considering their size ($1.50 to $2.75 each). And though there's an array of condiments -- mild ketchup and horseradish, minced shallots in red-wine vinegar, dumbed-down Aunt May's Bajan pepper sauce, potent vodka with chilies -- none are needed. A simple squeeze of lemon brings out the best in 'em.
The perfect drink to accompany oysters is champagne, but since Oyster Boy attempts to be an affordable eatery, champers isn't available. Instead, we make do with a reasonably priced light-bodied Riesling (99 Henry of Pelham Reserve, $5.50 glass/$22 bottle) that approximates the effect of bubbly.
After the raw molluscs, Oyster Boy's menu is hit-and-miss. Sided with a superb apple, daikon,cabbage and carrot slaw -- as are many mains -- beer-battered halibut and chips ($10.95) easily satisfies but doesn't match that of Harbord Fish & Chips.
Crab Louie Salad ($9.95), a big-enough-for-two portion of shredded crab in thin mayo over Boston lettuce, gets described in the menu as "classic." So where's the sliced hard-boiled egg the recipe requires?
Boston-style chowder is a butter-rich, milky broth brimming with tasty clams, cubed potatoes, celery, carrot and onion.
But there's definitely something wrong with chilled tomato and fennel soup garnished with tuna tartare and basil chiffonade (both $4.95). When I ask what the unusual, metallic flavour is, I'm told it's fennel. It remains half-finished.
A garden-variety salad of mesclun ($4.25) topped with an under-powered blue poppy seed dressing has me singing the blues. It's all right, but more cheese, please.
Of all the mains, firm monkfish nuggets braised with oysters ($13.95) as well as carrots and porcini and oyster mushrooms in a marvellous red wine reduction impresses. But lobster roll ($15.95) needs a thicker mayo to keep this delish 'swich from falling apart over a mound of adequate fries (Bellevue Diner's are far superior).
And while it looks good on paper, seafood pot pie ($12.95) offers little comfort. It's an unfortunate pairing of smoked salmon and too-salty (ahoy, mateys!) sauce under a puff-pastry lid.
A starter of five stone-cold shrimp on a skewer next to retro 50s-style cocktail sauce recalls the Howard Johnson cliché, while three mussel-and-clam fritters could be best described as leaden, fish-ish falafels (both $7.95). The two aps get a needed kick from Oyster Boy's great coleslaw.
The sole dessert is a delicious bowl of local berries with a topknot of whipped cream ($4.95).
Stick to the raw stuff.

Genre: hardboiled crime/mystery

Thank you for your time in answering our questions about getting published. Let's begin by having you explain to us why you decided to become an author and pen this book?
Joe: As stated below, this is not my first book so I've been an author for a while. However, I've wanted to be a writer since my eighth-grade English class, when my teacher, Bill Watson, a published writer and playwright himself, inspired me with tales of Edgar Allan Poe, Jack London, and so on. After school, I'd go home to my room and churn out Poe-like tales of horror, and they were pretty horrible all right, but it was a start!
Is this your first book?
Joe: This is actually my third published book. The first two were non-fiction, however. This is my second novel although the first novel was never published.
With this particular book, how did you publish – traditional, small press, Indie, etc. – and why did you choose this method?
Joe: I've published with a small, independent publisher that specializes in books with Southern themes like mine. I figured my book was probably too dark to be a candidate for a major publisher, and besides I don't have an agent. I looked for publishers with interests in books like mine, got a few rejections and a couple close calls along the way before finding my publisher.
Can you tell us a little about your publishing journey? The pros and cons?
Joe: I've been a journalist for nearly 40 years, publishing in newspapers and magazines since the 1970s, and getting a few short stories and a couple poems into print, too. Like most writers, I've also got drawers full of rejections slips! Books came later in life. My two non-fiction books were published with university presses, which in turn put price tags on them that made them hard to sell commercially. I decided I never wanted that to happen again. My first novel, actually a novella, was a finalist in a national fiction contest, and I was sure that was my ticket to publication and fame. After 40 rejections, however, I shelved it and started on my second novel. That's what many writers have done, including a good friend of mine who's a New York Times best-selling author. With
What lessons do you feel you learned about your particular publishing journey and about the publishing industry as a whole?
Joe: This may sound like a cliché, but you've got to just keep hammering away. If you want to be a writer, then you've got to be able to pick yourself up off the floor a thousand times, dust yourself off, and go at it again. If you've been serious about your craft, I feel there's a publisher out there for you. You don't want to be two ships passing in the night, however. Study the publishers' interests and rules, and, by all means, make contacts. That's what gets you off the over-the-transom pile and onto the publisher's desk!
Would you recommend this method of publishing to other authors?
Joe: I've got writer friends who all somehow found their own way to a publisher. My way was pretty long and tortuous, but that's not that unusual. For some it's easier than for others. Living in New York might help, but I don't. Some good writers fall to the wayside because they're too stubborn, too fragile, or their egos get in the way. Be open, willing to learn, and on the lookout for opportunities.
What's the best advice you can give to aspiring authors?
Joe: I just read this from Charles Bukowski: "There is nothing more magic and beautiful than lines forming across paper. … No reward is greater than the doing." You've got to love writing and in your heart know you've got no choice but to do it. I wouldn't trade the joy I've felt at my desk on certain early mornings or late nights when some insight came shaping a character or a twist in the plot, and I just knew it was right. In those moments, you say to yourself, "To hell if this ever gets published, that's just damned good!"

Find caramelized pizza crust at this hole-in-the-wall
OK, OK, so it's not in Evanston. It's in Morton Grove, but only a short drive from Dempster, and you absolutely must get there. Saveur's Chicago issue put his pizza on the cover, and with good reason.
Your Burt's saga begins with a phone call to Burt himself. You aren't just making a reservation, though. You will also be ordering your pizza. Choose your size: small (10″, $12.25), medium (12″, $13.25), large (14″, $14.25), x-large (16″, $16.25), xx-large (18″, $19.25). Then choose your toppings (two are included, after that it's extra): sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, mixed bell peppers, black olives, green olives, sliced tomatoes, spinach, garlic, banana peppers and jalapeños. (A plain cheese pizza is a dollar or two less, depending on the size.)
Your pizza will be on the table within a minute of your reservation, so Burt and his wife suggest you arrive ten minutes early to order drinks. And when I say on the table, I mean it will be on the table whether you're sitting at it or not. This place is timely, and believe me, you want your pizza hot!
It really is Burt's place — he and his wife have been serving up their famous deep dish pan pizza (with caramelized crust, of course), since 1971. What is caramelized crust? It's a buttery cornmeal deep dish dough with a little bit of cheese between the pan and the cornmeal, so it burns a little to sweeten the edges. Don't expect a lot of cheese on the pizza — the emphasis is on the crust and the thick slices of vegetable toppings. As far as toppings go, the thick mushroom slices and even thicker sausage patties are your best bet.

Why Colocation Beats Traditional Hosting
By Rack Alley
When it comes to running a business, it should go without saying that you absolutely must have your own website. You're also going to need a digital architecture that supports all of your company's internal needs as well. However, where one this would have been enough all on its own, nowadays, you need to ensure that the LA web hosting company you decide on for your business won't leave you wanting.
As opposed to traditional server hosting in Los Angeles, colocation offers far more. That's because you don't have to settle on whatever hosting hardware the provider makes available.
Instead, you can literally pick out the types of hardware that will work out best for your company. This means saving money, but getting a better product in the process. However, the benefits don't end there.
Another great thing about colocation is that you get to house this setup somewhere else. With traditional methods, building your own server would also mean having to keep it onsite and paying for the necessary staff and equipment to maintain it. That's not going to be an issue if you decide to go with colocation.
There's nothing you can do about needing hosting options for your company. At least with colocation, though, you get more for less.
If you understand Los Angeles colocation, then you understand you need to make the best possible choice in terms of whom you choose. Fortunately, Rack Alley should make this decision relatively easy when looking for Los Angeles web hosting

Your technical employees have been hired and begin their career with their expertise and preferred skills working on meaningful technical projects for your company. As they have grown and expanded in their roles, a few of the technical professionals have begun to stand out in the organization, and a few necessary management positions naturally become necessary and available.
At this point there comes a career crossroad:
Continue using their technical expertise or expand their skill set and start to climb the corporate ladder. It is tempting to consider a supervisory promotion — more money, a corner office, status. This decision, though, is not right for everyone.
Organizations can head off some of the potential turnover or unhappy employees by holding career conversations well ahead of time. Most technical professionals are motivated by doing interesting and challenging work themselves — not supervising others who get to do their work!
This factor is the key reason many technical employees become dissatisfied with a management role.
An in-depth career conversation and training (as needed), about the realities of supervision demonstrates good business sense, shows respect and consideration to the potential new technical managers, less confusion to the existing technical teams, and will pay big dividends— both financially and with the good will and morale of the company.
It saves disruption and a lot of time and energy to give everyone a realistic look into their next career move. Once these technical professionals understand what is expected, they will have the tools to make the right career decision.

It's a beautiful day at the zoo, where learning can become 'wild'.
There's so much to learn about the wildlife in this great country, so these students have a head start! At the end of May, Grade One students from Colonel Sanders School became "junior conservationists" for the day, teaching visitors at the zoo about seven Canadian animals.
Through a five-month project, students from four Grade One classes learned about the black-footed ferret, black-tailed prairie dog, grizzly bear, whooping crane, burrowing owl, caribou and bison.
The students visited the Calgary Zoo back in January 2017 and participated in the educational program, Ferreting Out a Future, where they were introduced to different endangered animals and the importance of conservation. They continued exploring these themes back in school, and while learning how all living things are connected. Did you know that killing the black-tailed prairie dog as a pest can cause the black-footed ferret to struggle? Their main source of food is the prairie dog!
The classes kept in contact with the zoo, through multiple skype sessions with the Education department, and visiting again in March to complete an Edu-Trek. This Canadian Wilds Safari introduced them to more Canadian animals, and the Grade One's raced to the signs at each animal's habitat to find out their conservation status. "I want to be a conservationist when I grow up" became a common phrase among many students.
The lessons continued, and these young conservationists focused on responsibility, and what different people could do to support conservationism here in Canada. For example, they thought about how farmers could use natural pesticides, how loggers could cut down fewer trees in one location, how the government could make laws to protect animals and how they could help by teaching other people about what they had learned.
Teach others they did! The student of Colonel Sanders school took their final trip to Calgary Zoo in May to put their knowledge to the test. These animal lovers used zoo biofacts and their own handmade posters to engage zoo visitors about Canadian animals at risk. Teachers and zoo staff alike were very impressed with how well the students shared their knowledge with strangers, informing them about the caribou, bison, grizzly bear, burrowing owl, whooping crane, and black-tailed prairie dog.
The Grade One's taught their visitors about how conservationists help raise whooping crane babies while wearing a 'look-alike' whooping crane suit, and how logging makes caribou more susceptible to attack from wolves. They even educated about Skoki, a Calgary Zoo grizzly bear who had become unnaturally habituated to humans and so posed a threat to them. One student eloquently summed it up, telling visitors that "it's not Skoki's fault. It's people's fault."
We hope this group of engaged Grade One children inspired others to learn more about what they can do to support conservation of wildlife. One student excitedly shared, "I spoke to ten people at the zoo. Now ten more people know that the caribou is endangered and that they can help!" Right now, these students are "junior conservationists," but maybe someday they will grow up to join the forces of the conservationists at the Calgary Zoo to save a species.
Thank you for supporting wildlife conservation Colonel Sanders School!
Learn more about the Calgary Zoo's educational programs, and how you can encourage your students to become young conservationists.
Supporting the zoo helps to support animals, at home and around the world. Help be a warrior for wildlife!

Testodex Propionate 100 for intramuscular injection, contains testosterone propionate.
Testosterone propionate is a male sexual hormone with pronounced, mainly androgenic action, possessing the biological and therapeutic properties of the natural hormone. In a healthy male organism, androgens are formed by the testes and adrenal cortex. It is normally produced in women in small physiological quantities. In addition to the specific action that determines the sexual characteristics of the individual, it also has a general anabolic action, manifested in enhancement of protein synthesis. Under the effect of testosterone, body weight increases and urea excretion is reduced. High doses suppress the production of hypophyseal gonadotropin, while low doses stimulate it. It has an antitumor effect on mammary gland metastases.

text: Leather Pipeline: What will happen to all the material inventories? The stocks of material that have built up along the leather pipeline over recent months are "the biggest headache" for the leather industry at this moment in time, according to the latest edition of our Leather Pipeline market intelligence report. It says this is even more of a problem than the continued imbalance between supply and demand, which has resulted in hide prices falling dramatically. "It is frightening to think what might happen to the huge inventories of wet blue and crust that are sitting stranded in so many places around the globe," the report states. Despite high leather consumption by leading luxury brands and positive signs from the automotive sector, the demand for leather is still not enough to digest the total supply of raw material being produced globally. This means no dent is being made in the stocks of material that have been accumulated at different points in the pipeline. The full Leather Pipeline report can be accessed here.
