If you have been wondering how to get your nails done perfectly at your convenient place and time, then your worry is no more.
Well, with the increasing upcoming mobile nail service, your nails can be done at the comfort of your office, home, school or any other place and save your time abundantly. The mobile nail services are very much available in Cambridge and the professional technicians are moving around upon request.
Let's discuss why it is convenient to the nail technician first, in this case, it adds him or her some job since it is possible to reach more customers. Mobile nail service helps to offer personalized service, especially to clients who are never comfortable to give details of the specific service they need. Well, who wants to deal with strict bossy salon working hours? Of course, it is nobody's wish but the mobile nail service is giving beauty technicians a very flexible life in terms of working hours. Mobile nail service, for those who prefer to do their jobs alone, is not only a golden chance to fulfill that desire but also to decide when to do the job. Although there some expenses involved with the mobile nail service, some costs like rent are cut off completely. The weight of the benefits of the mobile nail service is extremely high as compared to the cons of the services given that most cons are not even work related. Just to name a few, it can be tedious to carry the beauty equipments for the mobile nail service but those are the tools for the job so why should one complain? Definitely no good reason. A feeling of insecurity in new client's home can also be an issue but that the only way to perfect in being a mobile nail service giver.
Gaining new clients can be a big dilemma especially for starters but as its said hard work pays and also keeping any new client to ensure consultancy the next time they require mobile nail service would help a lot. As for the client, it becomes very easy to choose their own preferred technicians for mobile nail service. It is very awesome to require a nail service and all one needs is to pick a technician of choice, make a call and just like that its brought to your doorstep. For people due to some reasons cannot be able to reach out to a salon for instance, due to some sickness, mobile nail service is a perfect savior. In general, mobile nail service in Cambridge is saving many people the trouble of having unkempt nails. On the other hand, the professionals offering the mobile nail services got themselves a good job which can be better if one is able to market their services well.

Dear Mr. Jason Aldean,
After a repeat show of your concert, I ask myself if Jason Aldean is worth photographing anymore? I know many people are fans of your music, but this year the concert did not sold out. The less crowded area was the lawn seats. Plus you had us, the photographers stand near the sound booth. I mean who wants to photograph the same area twice? I don't. I mean yes, I did notice and I mean a very little change in the performance. The only difference was an additional part to the stage, so you can come up closer. That's it. I looked some photographs that I shot last year and this year. I did cover you back in 2012 - I would of the year after; however, I had situation that was more important. Sorry Jason Aldean, but it's not all about you. I hope you understand! Some times you have to protect the person you care about and learn how to cut back things that you are use to doing in life. So... Jason Aldean, if you comes back next year and do the exact same thing - it is very unclear if I want to cover you again in 2017. If and I mean a big if some odd reason I do cover you again in 2017 it would have to be a good reason! Other than that it is finally time to say: Jason Aldean, it was nice for you to come and perform at Darien Lake Performance Art Center; however, I think you need to take your concert series and give some other fans a chance to see you! We are very thankful you have been here since 2012-2015 (4 years); however, if you continue to come here - you better start changing the performance; because, if not you are going to lose me as a fan! You're very lucky for someone introduce me to you! I have listen to country music of course, just yours is a little more with today's country music. I still think the 90's and 00's country music still kick-in-good! So if you don't change your ways then I think it might be best if we depart. I thank you for your time!
Take care,
Nick Serrata
PS - The only reason I am saying this to you, I don't want you to turn into Rascal Flatts; because, they do the exact same thing! However, they have been at Darien Lake way too long! Just looking out for ya!

Lisboa Fashion Week - Together
Ive been doing Lisboa Fashion Week for over 6 seasons now.
I was still in London when my dearest Manuela called to invite me to be part of this season's Workstation, and my answer had to be YES.
I loved being part of it, specially being it's 25th anniversary. It's hard work, for three days no one (from designers, photographers to production team) barely sleeps, or has any social/family time.
It's eat, shoot and edit (in no particular order).
As usual, I'll show you my full gallery/diary here, and you can check a shorter version on vogue.pt.
A HUGE thank you to J.Valles for the spare Fujifilm XT -1 plus the 18mm, it was a big help!

As my journey in mindful living has progressed I have discovered the benefits of mindful eating. For me a large part of mindful eating is actively choosing foods that align with my values and those values led me to embrace a vegan diet.
Creating Your Meditation Practice
How I love to meditate. This is a new addition to my day but a most treasured one. Each morning before I begin writing and even before I take a shower I take a seat, or lay down and become aware of the space where thoughts once were.

Edward had his game face on. This is what he does when you ask him to smell the flowers. It can entertain adults for hours.
Just outside the entrance.
And he's smelling the flowers.
And then he runs.
And runs some more.
I imagine him thinking, "I AM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" (in Oprah's voice)
Kid loves flowers.
What's not to love really?
Lots of tulips. Tulips are just happy and lovely.
Edward likes to take walks to contemplate future business deals and genius inventions. Like Steve Jobs.
I mean, serious happy times.
But then he discovered the dirt, and he was all, forget flowers and running, I'm going to sift dirt for the rest of the afternoon.
This is a glimpse of the bridge at the Monet House, which was part of an adorable exhibit called Small Houses of Great Artists. I would have been obsessed with this as a child.
For some reason I didn't get a great picture of the front of the house, but here's the back.
And the front. The Suze is in the background. I got lucky to get that picture. Parents were stopping at nothing to get their child in the window. Lots of evil glares and gentle suggestions to their child to push the other kids out of the way.
Picasso House.
Edward was sufficiently worn out after this trip. I'm realizing that the job of a toddler parent is to try to find as many ways to wear out your child as possible. This worked.
Hope you enjoyed our lovely day!

Louisville is a city that goes until 4am (especially around the holidays), and we're here to guide you to the absolute best places for you to make the rounds this New Year's Eve. We've assembled the requisite bar list with everything from swanky cocktail lounges to the best local dives. Each spot was chosen because it offers something you just can't find anywhere else outside of Louisville. And be sure to check back in every season, as this list will be constantly updated.
Hooters Is Opening a New Restaurant Chain That's Hiring Guys
The sophisticated place to cocktail when you're downtown
Meta is sophisticated without being pretentious, elite without being exclusive. All cocktail seekers, from connoisseurs to casual drinkers, are welcome here. While the designer wallpaper, low lighting, and velour sofas alone are reason enough to gather at Meta with friends, you won't be disappointed by their drinks, either. While classic and craft cocktails, often using local spirits, are the draw, there's plenty of fun going on as well – this is a place that sometimes uses Pappy Van Winkle bourbon to make Jell-O shots. Yeah, these folks know how to do it right.
Big Bar
Laid-back gay bar that welcomes everyone
Big Bar feels like a classic neighborhood bar that's had some enchanting upgrades; a rotating cast of regulars gives this cozy Highlands hotspot a right-at-home feel, and bar manager Drew Gillum never misses an opportunity to deck the chandeliers in tasteful seasonal decor. It's billed as a gay bar, but everyone is welcome, and it's tough not to have a good time in the place. Save your dollars for the go-go boys and your best vocals for their twice-a-week karaoke night because the house party is always on. Pro tip: The lighting in Big Bar makes for the best selfies.
The Hub
The most complete bar and lounge under one roof
The Hub is the tool belt of neighborhood bars -- if you need it, it's got it. Food: a casual selection of elevated Southern classics. Beverages: a regionally focused beer list and custom cocktails. Space to unwind: large patio, weekly dance party Saturday nights in The Pit featuring a late-night happy hour, and a long communal table in their private dining area. Drift from fall into winter with their half-priced bottles of wine on Wednesdays and $5 sangrias. Parking is limited, and more than likely you'll be staying for more than one drink, so arriving by Uber or Lyft is ideal.
Proof on Main
Upscale flair and bourbon on Main with carefully curated art on the walls
Proof on Main is your best-of-both-worlds bar, so if you and your companion have different tastes, no worries -- there's fine bourbon for you and award-winning wine for them. With a menu boasting more than 75 different bourbons, you can go on a distillery tour without ever getting up from your seat. The art on the walls at Proof is as expertly curated, as is the art in the adjoining 21c museum. And there's also a Southern-inspired menu to die for if you're hungry (try the squid salad if you're feeling adventurous).
8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen
The crazy sexy, cool bar in the sky
8UP is the rooftop bar Louisville goes to get those big-city feels -- and big-city cocktail prices, too. Situated on the rooftop of the Hilton Garden Inn, this space has an entirely separate atmosphere than the hotel below. Sexy reds, curved lampshades, velour sofas, and a glass fire pit give this space a sensual vibe. The "Sparkling Sapphire," a gin and lychee cocktail finished off with a dose of cava, remains from the summer menu, but has been joined by seasonal offerings like the "Strawberry Cheesecake" (Michael Godard gin, Giffard crème de fraise des bois, lemon juice, ricotta cheese) and the "Autumn Nip" (Michter's bourbon, sweet potato pie syrup, black walnut bitters, and a Caol Ila 12-year Scotch rinse, garnished with an orange peel).
Seidenfaden's Cafe
Neighborhood fun turns nighttime dance party
While lots of folks would advise you visit Seidenfaiden's on Saturday night, Friday night for Saving Our Style's "All Waves" party is really when you want to fall through. On the inside, Seidenfaiden's looks like one of those nondescript bars you'd find on the set of a TV show. But the barflies hunched over their beers in the late afternoon sun give the bar over to party kids who turn the bar into a dance club when the hours begin to stretch past midnight.
Live music meets incredibly tasty margaritas
Galaxie nails the upscale dive bar aesthetic -- you're here for affordable drinks against a deluxe backdrop. Their casual, come-as-you-are crowd drains glass after glass of the bar's famous spicy margaritas in carefully orchestrated dim lighting. In warm weather, the good times spill out onto a few tables that line their sidewalk. Dancing is encouraged on Thursday and Saturday nights. Not down for a marg? Go for the "Breakfast of Champions" special: a can of beer and a shot of whisky -- selection changes daily.
Garage Bar
Laid-back drinks and eats in a former service station
Garage Bar, like Proof On Main, is part of the 21c family, which is evident by its ample list of bourbons. You'll dine and drink in a retrofitted auto service garage, and the bar makes as much use of its outdoor space as its indoor, with picnic tables out front and table tennis off to side, surrounded by AstroTurf covered lounges. All the cocktails are excellent, but you'll want to start the festivities off with an oyster shooter: oyster + vodka + Bloody Mary mix. And be sure to make note of the art installation out front -- it's two cars destined for a head-on collision, but it takes weeks to happen. But one day you'll show up and they'll be crunched.
The Back Door
The classic dive bar -- and institution -- that welcomes all
The Back Door is an institution. For many a young Louisvillian, it's the bar they graduated to when they outgrew their favorite college bar. Owner John Dant describes their patrons as anyone from "bikers to brain surgeons." The bartenders -- many going on 20 years with the bar -- are well known to be more than generous with their pours, so be sure to line your belly with some of their classic bar fare, too.
Games, music, and drinks in a historic venue
Affectionately known as Z-bar by locals, Zanzabar's been around since 1938, with a few hiccups here and there. So you're supporting a piece of Louisville history every time you knock back a shot. It has a whole vintage arcade-thing going on in the front, but on the weekends, most folks breeze right past and out onto the heated patio where there's free Wi-Fi, or to the back of the bar to get sweaty on the dance floor. This place is exceptional because you can dance all night without anyone trying to grind up on you -- yeah, it's basically heaven in that way. Z-bar offers up a standard selection of beer and mixed drinks, but an above standard selection of dishes on their food menu. Plus, touring bands rock out in the attached venue.
Mag Bar
Old Louisville
Pair your favorite jukebox tunes with a cheap drink
Mag Bar says they want to be known as the bar that literally welcomes "all who want to drink and have a good time." And since 1962, that's who they've been. Individuals from overlapping scenes all congregate at Mag Bar for their rotating list of draft and bottled beers, the best jukebox in town, and to catch the live show of a band they've been digging. If you're feeling standoffish, this quintessential Louisville bar isn't going to be a fit for you tonight.
Highlands Tap Room
Two bars in one in a bustling corridor
The Highlands Tap Room famously moved to a new location a few blocks down Bardstown Road, then opened a second location right next door to their new location, giving Louisville both The Highlands Tap Room & Grill and New Old Tap Room. A night at the Tap Room is basically like going to a house party that has spilled out onto the front lawn, except you don't have to worry about the cops getting called. There's a wide selection of beer, but don't expect to order a fancy cocktail here; the bar is slammed almost every night, and your best bet is to order whatever the bartenders can mix the fastest (it's also a Chicago Cubs bar, so keep that in mind for when spring rolls around).
Holy Grale
How often do you get a chance to drink beer in a church?
Holy Grale has 27 beers on tap and roughly 75 different bottles, focusing on otherwise hard-to-find beers in a converted Unitarian chapel. It's also a good bet that it's the only proudly bourbon-free bar in town. If the main bar downstairs is full, you can head upstairs to the Choir Loft for a bit more elbow room and even more beers to choose from. Its expansive beer list manages to be less intimidating, though, as it's got helpful notes -- and the bartenders are exceptionally knowledgeable and totally willing to help you out.
Bourbon, beers, and video games
RecBar is Louisville's take on popular Williamsburg establishment and Thrillist NYC fave, Barcade. Their website helpfully lists the numerous arcade games they have on-site, so you can check it out before you visit and budget your coins accordingly. Their drink list features a rotating selection of 16 beers on tap, just as many cans, and a bourbon list that's only put to shame by Proof on Main and Garage Bar.
Posh cocktail bar (and a celebrity chef)
If you head downtown this holiday season to catch a show, MilkWood is conveniently located at Actor's Theatre and a brisk walk from The Kentucky Center For The Arts. You may have seen Chef Edward Lee featured on the PBS series Mind Of A Chef, and Milkwood's drink menu is quite comprehensive, with cocktails, wines, and beers organized by palette and preference, with categories like herbaceous, lush, bitter, and umami. Order the Big In Bangkok and be prepared to be surprised by how well peanut butter and Four Roses go together.
Doc Crow's Southern Smokehouse & Raw Bar
Classic cocktails meet oysters and barbecue
Oysters, barbecue, and bourbon are all you really need, and they're also all you really need to know about Doc Crow's Southern Smokehouse & Raw Bar. It has lovingly put our native spirit on display for their farewell to summer cocktail, Lady Geisha. This burst of warmth is a "sweet blend of Old Forester Signature bourbon, cinnamon pear syrup, Mathilde Poire liqueur, ginger, and lemon juice." For the shrub lover, order up The Golden Cup. It packs a kick with a spicy habanero shrub, blended with Old Forester 86 and cooled down with a little cucumber.
The Exchange Pub + Kitchen
New Albany, Ind.
There's fun to be had across the river, too
The Exchange Pub and Kitchen is one of those spots just over the bridge that's got Louisvillians creeping into southern Indiana more and more often. Live music out on the patio and even livelier fare indoors on the plate. Grab a classic Old Fashioned or wrap your mouth around The Fall Basics, which combines Tito's vodka, St. Elizabeth allspice dram, pumpkin, and espresso syrup.
The Pearl of Germantown
The throwback bar that feels like home
Owned in part by the owner of renowned bourbon bar The Silver Dollar, The Pearl of Germantown (or "The Pearl" to locals) offers a nod to the past in the form of a corner tavern. In fact, the spot actually was a corner tavern for years -- this one is just a bit more self-aware. Pickled bar snacks and sandwiches help sell the throwback appeal of the place, but it's the cocktails that keep people coming back. And a roulette game that enables you to win a cheap shot of your favorite booze doesn't hurt either.
Club Nirvana
A fresh, new concept in a friendly location
Many mourned the demise of Cahoots, but Club Nirvana, which has taken its place in the sweet spot of the Highlands, is out to make its predecessor a distant memory. If the former was a laid-back hangout for bar snacks and billiards, Club Nirvana aims to be a more lively entry into the neighborhood, with live music, a full menu, and a fully-stocked bar for mixing your favorite cocktail. And hey, if it's a cheap beer and a bar to hang by, you can do that too.
Hot downtown bar with a speakeasy feel
This nook in the NuLu corridor feels for all the world like a speakeasy, with its tight environs, reclaimed wood, and exposed brick, and sitting at the bar will have you waiting for guys in pinstripe suits and fedoras to walk in. In reality, Taj is more of a neighborhood bar with some killer cocktails and craft beers. Try yourself a Bourbonrita (a version of the Mexican classic made with bourbon instead of tequila) or a Maloney-O (a three-finger pour of your choice with a splash of water).
Jimmy Can't Dance
The basement bar with all that jazz
Upstairs is a long-standing sandwich shop where Downtown professionals dine by day. But downstairs is Jimmy Can't Dance, a sultry jazz bar mixing up reasonably priced cocktails with a side of live smoothness. Exposed brick and beams, intimate table lighting, and a neon sign reminding us that "we're all animals" make the bottom half of the old structure a different world, one rocking a speakeasy vibe where a diverse crowd gathers to groove and sip cocktails. If you're a big fan of New Orleans, you'll love it here.
The Silver Dollar
Bourbon meets Bakersfield in a former firehouse
Set in the former home of a horse-and-carriage firehouse dating back to the late 1800s, The Silver Dollar is a widely-renowned bourbon bar in a bourbon crazy state. Spinning country music and serving up whiskey by the drink (even the neon sign trumpets this fact), it's at once a tribute to the Bakersfield, California sound and working-class aesthetic. You can pony up three bucks for the whiskey of the day or even less for a Miller High Life, or you can opt for the Pappy Van Winkle -- assuming it's in your budget. Either way, there's plenty for your lips to like, even if your liver is doing all the work.
The Cure Lounge
An offbeat gem in Germantown
Hidden away in what once was the dive bar known as Club 21, The Cure Lounge is a nod to the British band of the same name. Set in a neighborhood where corner pubs have been the tradition, The Cure Lounge is more like what you might find tucked away in a New York alleyway, with its curious decor, live music, wild events, and eclectic clientele. Part of the attraction is that The Cure Lounge has a chic feel, while the cocktails and craft beers are surprisingly affordable. You can chill out at the bar or find a cozy spot in the lounge area while you wait for the band to get started.
Red Herring
A former theater is now a high-end lounge
Formerly a neighborhood movie theater -- a long time ago, folks -- the Hilltop building is now home to Red Herring, a cool, retro-meets-modern cocktail bar set in a space that invites rampant socialization. Downstairs is the main bar and plenty of tables for grabbing a snack or a small plate, while upstairs is a laid-back lounge. With exposed brick, remnants of the former theater, and its double-layer design, one almost forgets the massive cocktail program that features a drink list called the 100 Classics. If you hope to try one of each, you'd better have a designated driver.

Meta is a wonderful world of contrasts -- a marble-barred, copper-penny-floored temple of swank drinking lodged next to a strip club. But it's not just bravado and balls that make Meta the best damn cocktail bar in a city that was doing craft cocktails long before they were trendy. The signatures are all grounded in tradition, but with a nice kick in the knickers. Take, for example, The High Pant, which augments some Old Fitzgerald with fernet and ginger to transform the Old Fashioned into something completely new. And hey, with cocktails this good, that strip club next door just keeps getting less lurid by the sip.
Here for all of your happy hour needs, Big Bar offers deals every night of the week from 4 to 8pm. The small neighborhood bar in the Highlands also features Margarita Mondays, followed by all day happy hour on Tuesdays, karaoke Wednesdays, "Basic Bitch" Thursdays, and Sunday Best for cheap brunch cocktails (and by brunch, we mean mimosas and Bloody Marys from 2pm to 8pm). The bar is small, but its spirit is big, welcoming nightclub-sized crowds into the upbeat corner space on Bardstown.
Boasting a large bar, a formal dining room, pool tables, and a soon-to-be-open patio, the Hub offers a dining experience that delivers beyond the eats. Not that the eats leave anything to be desired: southern-inspired small plates, like pimento cheese with bacon pudding, are the savory shareable offerings du jour here, while drinks come in the form of creatively and gorgeously spun cocktails like a pastel pink gin Flame Dame prepared with egg white. After dinner, the lights are lowered and the music is turned up a bit, giving the restaurant a club-like vibe (open until 2am) without ever losing its casual ambiance.
Located in The 21c Museum Hotel Louisville, a boutique hotel and art museum, Proof on Main serves up gourmet meals from Chef Levon Wallace, including a unique and scrumptious burger made out of bison and topped with a Jezebel sauce that gives it a fruity, earthy flavor, plus Tillamook cheddar and applewood-smoked bacon. You'll want to throw in a side of the crispy cauliflower, and top it all off with the s'mores dessert. This trendy spot houses the Proof Bar, too, which offers an enormous bourbon list (we're talking upwards of 50 varieties).
Whether you're looking for breakfast, for a sleek dining experience, or craft cocktails at an open-air rooftop bar, 8UP Elevated Drinkery & Kitchen has got you covered. Located on the 8th floor of the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown, the rooftop restaurant and bar provides hotel guests and Louisville residents alike with progressive American fare, craft cocktails, and some seriously stunning views of the surrounding area. And with a bar program concentrated mainly on bourbon (the list is extensive) and bourbon-based cocktails, 8UP is a solid stop for elevated (literally) New American cuisine and quality drink.
Germantown's Seidenfaden's Café is a friendly neighborhood by day and vibrant dance club by night, decorated with a red and white linoleum tile floor and leather barstools. With quirky movies projected to the right of the bar, Seidenfaden's airs on the eccentric side, but with its incredibly reasonable drink prices and vending machine-style snacks, it'll keep you coming back for dance parties, shows, and karaoke nights.
This interplanetary themed cocktail bar in NuLu is known for their herbaceous cocktails and "wakataka" flatbread tacos. Also worth checking out are Galaxie's signature spicy margaritas; garnished with Lunazul tequila, citrus and pepper flakes, they're a great bright and refreshing summer time drink. A small plates menu of Mexican street food options accents the hip space and neon decor.
Especially in the warmer months, this renovated garage in the trendy NuLu area is a must-visit. Glowing ping pong tables, Astroturf-covered places to perch, and a consistently ultra-hip crowd make this bar the go-to destination for sticky, hot nights in The 'Ville. Garage Bar uses local veggies and cured meats to top its pizzas, which bake in a blistering wood-fired brick oven. Be sure to order a tasting platter from the ham bar (yes, it has a bar dedicated to ham) to pair with your pie. It's got a pretty extensive beer list, too.
This Highlands dive(ish) bar is a classic local watering hole with a wide array of fans, from newly-21 frat boys to 60-something bikers, and the walls are decorated with the painted-on faces of patrons past and present, young and old, not to mention a simple drink menu featuring strong, yet cheap libations.
Originally opened in 1938, Zanzabar is one of Germantown's oldest neighborhood establishments, and has been entertaining its patrons ever since. Home to the city's only vintage arcade, an intimate live music venue, and a Southern-inspired food and drink menu -- chili-smothered nachos, pulled pork sandwiches, and a few dozen bourbon and whiskey labels -- Zbar is a bustling joint for any occasion. Stop by for a bourbon and have a go at the vintage pinball machines, or spend the night dancing to live music, featured multiple nights per week.
Located within historic Old Louisville, Magnolia Bar and Grill is a dimly lit dive with pool tables, a pinball machine, and a punk-heavy jukebox. The walls are dotted with old-fashioned beer signs, and an old fan provides some relief when the crowds get big. Friendly bartenders make already cheap pints and pours even better, but stop by the ATM beforehand as Magnolia is cash-only.
From the theme nights like Metal Monday to the bountiful weekend brunch buffet (pro tip: the chocolate chip pancakes are not to miss), Highlands Tap Room is a must-visit on Bardstown Road. The pork-centric dinner menu is just as solid, boasting elevated pub fare like pulled pork spring rolls with sweet chili sauce and slow-roasted pork loin with jalapeño cornbread. Like any self-respecting Kentucky joint, the bar features a robust selection of American whiskeys and the pours tend to be gratuitous, so you'll have the appropriate amount of liquid courage before you take to the karaoke stage on Friday night.
This converted century-old church now works full-service as an artisanal pub specializing in beer and food pairings. The space is equal parts ingenious adaptation and gorgeous design and the menu is always changing, as are the beers. Be sure not to miss the choir loft and the beer garden, and if the Scotch quail eggs are on the menu, order them immediately.
RecBar isn't just craft beer watering hole with America's favorite comfort foods, it is also an arcade where youngsters and old timers can play a variety of games from pinball and Ms. Pac-Man to air hockey and Mortal Kombat. The menu features shareable favorites like Tatchos (tater tots covered in queso, bacon, onions, and sour cream), pretzel bites with warm beer cheese, and chicken tenders breaded in frosted flakes. The burgers, like the Backyard Burger topped with bacon and pulled pork, are juicy, cheesy and, most importantly, greasy, and the only thing Mexican about the tacos are the tortillas, but we don't mind because they are filled with American delicacies like Philly cheese steak and pulled pork. Swallow it down with a beer from one of the 16 rotating local taps or a glass of bourbon … it is Kentucky, after all.
This no-reservations hot spot offers a tapas-style menu of inventive spanish and globally inspired eats. The shareable items here are sized for least two, though the tender cuts of rib-eye, strip, and flank, will have you wishing for your own pound of meat. For a glass of wine or one of four kinds of sangria, head to the diner-like bar, where, thankfully, the "generous" attitude is shared.
MilkWood, Downtown's Actors Theater restaurant, is Top Chef alum Edward Lee's ode to Southern fare and the Asian spice pantry in a flavor-forward dining experience. With hybrid ingredients like gochujang butter and green apple-ginger zest, and dishes like Korean Griddle Buns, Mushroom and Grits, Collards and Kimchi, and Togarashi Cheesecake, the cuisine is elegant, elevated, and rooted in culture. The down-home favorites have prevalent Asian influence, but neither is compromised in their marriage. To reiterate the importance of flavor to guests, the cocktail menu is laid out by beverage type, and how it will play on the palate -- wine, beer, and cocktails alike.
Located on the famous Whiskey Row, Doc Crow's serves down-home Southern fare that celebrates both coastal and barbecue cuisines and focuses on bourbon in its beverage program. Starters include fried oysters, smokehouse mussels, and beef brisket tacos, while mains include baby-back ribs, blackened tilapia, and fried pork chops. Choose your poison from the drink menu's anthology of whiskeys or imbibe a classic, like an old fashioned or mint julep lemonade.
Exchange is an American gastropub with all of the charm of a turn-of-the-century garage and an impressively long menu of food and drink options. At lunch the Croque Madame made with ham, egg, prosciutto, and soaking in melty cheese, crispy fish and chips, or Voodoo Pasta (blackened chicken and pappardelle in cajun cream sauce) are a good excuse for a midday nap. For dinner, you can start with crispy goat cheese fritters with smoked honey, bacon date aioli or beer cheese with a pretzel baguette and then indulge in buttery blackened scallops, pistachio-crusted grilled salmon, or down home fried chicken. Choose from the list of craft drafts or have a cocktail like the Hocus Pocus (made with vodka, amaretto, apple, lemon, cinnamon, and black walnut). Bring 'er on home with a warm peach and brandy bread pudding.

Keep your eyes safe during eclipse viewing
Millions of people are making preparations for viewing the 2017 Solar Eclipse, which will happen on Aug. 21. The total eclipse of the sun is a rare phenomenon, and even more rare is the fact that this one can only be viewed along a path in the U.S.
If you are one of the many who will be gazing at the sky during that Monday noon hour, there are some important things you need to be aware of. First and foremost, in order to safely view the eclipse you MUST have protective eyewear. Contrary to what some may believe, regular sunglasses will not be sufficient—even welder's glasses will not protect your eyes from retinal burn which may cause permanent eye damage.To read this more of this story see the Aug. 2 edition of The Gothenburg Times.

Dean started reading seriously in the second grade due to a competition and has spent most of the subsequent three decades lost in other people's worlds. After reading several local libraries more or less dry of sci-fi and fantasy, he started spending more time wandering around worlds of his own creation to avoid the boredom of the 'real' world.
Things worsened, or improved depending on your point of view, when he first started experimenting with writing while finishing up his accounting degree. These days Dean has a wonderful wife and daughter to keep him rather more grounded, but the idea of bringing others along with him as he meets interesting new people in universes nobody else has ever seen tends to drag him back to his computer on a fairly regular basis.
Review by:
Marcia Carrington
on Oct. 03, 2013 :
This is an atmospheric, beautifully-rendered short story which treats its central character with great sympathy, and involves the reader in her dilemma. I also liked the author's depiction of winter, and how this could be seen as an allegory for the protagonist's emotions. The ending leaves the story open for further instalments, but the story in and of itself is highly satisfying.

We're pretty proud of all our wines, but the feeling around here is that NINO is the best thing we've done all year. It was launched last week at YouthCARE Canberra's Rugby Dinner, with a good chunk of the stock selling on the night. Now it is available in Cellar Door and here, but even better, it is on the shelves at some of the best independent shops in Canberra: Ainslie Cellars, Jim Murphy Market Cellars and Jim Murphy Airport Cellars. And even better, these guys are all kindly buying it from us at full retail price, the same they sell it for, so 100% of the proceeds still go to YouthCARE Canberra!
According to Max Allen in The Australian (6/9/16):
Nino is the name of a new wine from Mount Majura Vineyard in the Canberra district. It's a 2016 pet nat — petillant naturel, naturally sparkling wine — made from the juice of pinot gris grapes, and it's delicious: full of the flavour of white peaches and lemon pith, crisp, refreshing, clean-tasting and more-ish. It was made with no additions at all — wild yeast, no preservatives — and it finished fermentation in the bottle, which means the wine is cloudy, thanks to the presence of the yeast lees (Nino stands for "nothing in, nothing out"). This makes it more delicious, giving the wine a round, caressing texture on the tongue.
It's one of the best locally produced pet nats I've tried, but that's not the only reason it's worth tracking down. Mount Majura is donating all the proceeds from the sale of the wine to YouthCARE Canberra, an outreach service for young people at risk — and at $25 a bottle with 180 sixpacks made, that's a fair chunk of useful cash to be raised.

Another week has gone by in the blink of an eye. I hate that these are the only posts I'm getting done but at least they are better than nothing! :) Anyway, here's a glimpse of our week.
The weekend was kind of a blur. I volunteered with our church ice cream truck on Saturday afternoon and we had a barbecue that evening. I really didn't get many pictures except for these few randoms.
Emerson has school on Monday and she begged me to stay and take a nap. We deduced to give it a trial run. She was as happy as pie when I dropped her off.
Not quite as much when I picked her up. The teacher she said she finally fell asleep about 10 minutes before it was time to be picked up. She was ok when I got there but once we got to the car she pretty much lost it. I guess she just wasn't ready to be away from momma that long. Maybe we'll try again next year! :)
Meanwhile, sister thinks she's a big girl and wants to crawl! She's got the low crawl down and I have a feeling she'll be crawling on all four very soon. Why must they grow so fast?
We had a pool day with our friend Rylee on Tuesday.
And then the girls "played" together. It's moments like this that I dreamt about when I found out we were having another girl. It's such a blessing watching their relationship blossom.
We went grocery shopping on Wednesday and Em's reward for being a good listener was a visit to the pet store next door. Also known as the "free zoo." She loved it!
I've been busy making shirts! It feels good to be back in the swing of things.
Adelyn has been busy shopping. She's a sucker for a good deal. ;)
She's a big fan of Target, too.
On Friday night we went over to a friends to play and it went really well until it was time to leave. Our little spitfire was not a happy camper and she made sure the whole neighborhood knew it. This picture just kills me... her dirty face, shoe falling off and major attitude. I may not have been laughing in the moment but I know I'll look back at this and laugh one of these days. I can only imagine the teenage years. ;)

In two weeks, the football-loving public will be handed the verdict regarding the Urban Meyer investigation. Despite other football news craving for attention in the media, CNN has caved in to the pressure of covering every aspect of the ongoing investigation.
The Urban Meyer investigation isn't about the football coach as a person. Rather, it has to do with how much the coach in his professional capacity knew, how soon and above all, how he handled the knowledge that his assistant Zach Smith was involved in a domestic violence issue with his wife in 2015. To this effect, the group tasked with conducting the Urban Meyer investigation has just appointed veteran Ohio politician Jo Ann Davidson as chairperson.
If the Urban Meyer investigation runs its due course, Ohio State, the beacon of American football, will regain its esteemed position as an entity that leaves no stone unturned when it comes to any investigation. Accordingly, Mary Jo White, a former high-ranking official of the Securities and Exchange Commission, has been assigned the top post of the investigative team.
With Ohio State's coaching staff having undergone a complete overhaul upon the arrival of Urban Meyer in 2012, the recent firing of Zach Smith has just opened up an opportunity for Brian Hartline to prove his mettle with the Zone 6 wide receivers. And if anything is to go by, his playing years as a wide out for the buckeyes will certainly add an extra edge to his caching.
Though he is currently employed on an interim basis, Brian Hartline seems to be a strong candidate for a permanent position to lead a group of talented players. Confirmations from reliable sources assert that this is the current plan going forward.
Ohio State acquires D.J. Carton for 2019. On Saturday, Ohio State obtained a big commitment by persuading D.J. Carton, the five-star point guard from the Class of 2019, to join their ranks.
Emerged from Obscurity
Carlton, who stands at five foot eleven inches, made a splash on the national recruitment arena this spring, when he emerged from obscurity to be a top prospect. While Carton does not play on any big shoe company circuits, he impressed college coaches and national scouts with his abilities over the April live assessment with Quad Elite Cities --- the same group that produced top players such as Montana State's Tyler Hall and Wisconsin's Ethan Happ.
A dynamic player who can function over the rim, Carton displayed many attributes during the American Basketball Under Eighteen trials in June, while competing against lots of the leading athletes in his group.
At the end of June, Paris Johnson Jr. announced his pledge to join the OSU football team when he graduates in a couple years. Building on the news of Lejond Cavazos' commitment, Johnson Jr. is the second major Class of 2020 recruit that OSU has entered negotiations with so far.
Highly Sought After
The 6-foot-7 285-pound OT from St. Xavier is a Cincinnati native, and he's listed as the second overall prospect at the offensive position in his class. In spite of the fact that he's only played in parts of two high school seasons, Johnson Jr. received scholarship offers from over 40 different colleges.
Paris Johnson Jr. says this is a major opportunity for him since it gives him the chance to represent his home state. In agreeing to play for OSU, he's elected to pass up a chance with the Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers. It doesn't seem like he minds at all, though.
In Jack Miller III, Ohio State has finally found a man it can depend on both the field and out. And that spells trouble for anyone who isn't a Buckeye. Jack Miller III gave his pledge after a Friday night recruitment spree.
Jack Miller III is a four-star quarterback who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. With him on board, there's nothing stopping the Buckeyes now from achieving their objectives. And that's why everyone in the team has been seen jumping for joy lately. The team is confident that it has everything it needs to put the pressure on.
National Perception
No. 47, as everyone knows is a young but very driven man. At 6' 4" and 210 pounds, Jack Miller III is definitely a lean and mean fighting machine. But you really have to watch his commando-like demeanor to believe, although his play stats say it all.
Let's hear it from Tim Kohner who had the privilege of coaching Jack Miller III for years at school. Kohner's take on the man sounds like he's describing the abilities of the Bionic Man. And who can blame him?
Second Round to the Minnesota Timberwolves
Keita Bates-Diop was pick number forty eight for the Minnesota Timber Wolves in the recent 2018 NBA Draft, his name many are already familiar. Bates- Diop's place on the board into the second round of picks was unexpected because he has already demonstrated his skills as part of the Big Ten. With the experience that he has in college, he is expected to be a strong asset to the team.
Tom Thibodeau, Minnesota head coach, expressed surprise at him remaining after the first round of picks in the Draft. He attributes his late selection to the high number of skilled players from which to choose. Thibodeau stated they picked him due to his performance during a workout and his past year at Ohio State.
We just found out this week about Harry Miller's Ohio State Signing, what does it mean for the Buckeyes?
Four star Offensive Lineman Harry Miller made his Ohio State commitment creating new excitement for the OSU 2019 class. With the addition of Miller, Ohio State has added some solid depth to their squad for the class of 2019.
Class of 2019 in April
Following a successful month in April, where the Buckeyes landed commitments from Noah Potter, Ronnie Hickman, Steele Chambers, Garrett Wilson, Bryson Shaw and Cade Stover, the team cooled off a little in May. They did not add any commitments, while they reevaluated their options and requirements. It seems like they are ready to act once more however, because recently the team announced another commitment - with Harry Miller from Buford, Georgia making his pledge.
"Wisdom acquired from the university of life": Urban Meyer recalls Earle Bruce
Urban Meyer, the Buckeyes coach who studied under and idolized coach Earl Bruce, offered touching comments during Wednesday's Life Celebration at Saint John's Arena. His speech was warmly received by the audience.
Meyer began his career as a coach at the Buckeyes under Bruce, then went with him to the University of Colorado, prior to going back to the Buckeyes to manage the program. He is probably the best qualified person to offer such a tribute.
Ohio State got a surprise when Steele Chambers committed to the Buckeyes last Wednesday evening. He comes in with a distinction of being a four-star player from Trinity Catholic, Georgia.
Illustrious as a leading athlete, Chambers is 6-foot-2, 215 pounds of athleticism. Considered in the top 30 athletes and ranked 340 overall in 2019, Chambers decided to play with Ohio State. His selection for Ohio was firm as he had many other options on the desk such as offers from Georgia, LSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford.
Chambers was offered by the Buckeyes last October. He was quick to visit and made his first trip only weeks later, highlighted by the one point win over a fierce opponents, Penn State.
During the weekend, Chambers had the opportunity to have some sessions with defensive coaches Kerry Coombs and Greg Schiano, who held the post of assistant coordinator as well. The sessions were not focused on sports rather they had more to do with looking at life beyond sports and campuses.
Chambers came back to the campus late March to watch a session of spring camp. His family accompanied him and they went on to tour the campus, had a discussion with the head of the business school and also had a Friday meal with Urban Meyer, DC Schiano, Tony Alford and Bill Davis.
Ohio State has rescheduled their annual Scarlet and Gray game due to inclement weather coming to Columbus around 11am on Saturday. The new start time of the team scrimmage is 11:45am. This is 2 hours earlier than previously schedule. Buckeye fans that are watching from home can get the Spring Game on the Big Ten Network or listen on 97.1FM.
Ohio State v Michigan Lacrosse
Fans that got to the stadium early were going to be able to watch the Ohio State vs. Michigan lacrosse game. But now that game has been moved to Friday night. Spring Game tickets can used Friday night and then re-used for the football game on Saturday.
The Scarlet and Gray game is sold out at 79,000 tickets. This is 18,000 less tickets than previous years due to construction within the stadium. Other Big Ten teams have cancelled their scrimmage for this weekend including the team up north. A lot of recruiting happening this weekend for the Buckeye staff, so it's no time to take off.
CJ Walker, who is a transfer from Florida State, will go to Ohio State at the weekend, according to reports.
The crew headed by Chris Holtmann will welcome the Seminole former guard.
Now that their initial season as Buckeyes leaders is out of the way, Holtmann - along with the coaching team at Ohio State - has been working hard to contact several transfer prospects who are available.
Jon Rothstein, from CBS Sports, reports that Holtmann and Co will soon get the opportunity to show college basketball's top guard transfer what he could expect if he became a student/athlete for the Buckeyes.
A new role is allowing Greg Schiano to expand his working from Ohio Defensive Coordinator to spend time with all other positions on that side of the ball.
Greg Schiano performed the duties of Bukeye's safeties instructor in the first two seasons as defensive coordinator for OSU. From there on Schiano got the opening to spend time with all major defensive positions.
The Football Subdivision recently grew from a team of nine assistants to ten, which brought in safeties coach Alex Grinch, which eventually led Schiano to look after the defense as the head coach.
This could very well be a game changer for Schiano & the Buckeye's defense as they will have Schiano concentrating on the whole defensive team while having a complete understanding of the entire defensive.
Buckeyes fans will not be disappointed this upcoming football season. Featuring a star-studded lineup, the Buckeyes now have some of the top backfields in the country. From J.K. Dobbins and Mike Weber, to Jaelen Gill, Master Teague III and Brian Snead, the team's deck was already stacked high for success... now it is stacked a lot higher.
Monday, Sampson James, a star running back coming out of Avon, Indiana, joined forces with Ohio State after coming down for a 2 day visit.
Standing 6-foot-1 and coming in at 211 pounds, James is considered to be the eighth best running back in the country and the number 142 prospect overall for the 2019 team expansion. Impressively, James picked the Buckeyes over a whopping 20 other offers from football programs such as Georgia, Florida State, Cincinnati, Indiana, Michigan State, Michigan, Penn State, Notre Dame, Purdue and Tennessee.
The word on the street, the Browns to sign Carlos Hyde. The free agent signed a deal worth a reported $15 million for the three year contract. He is the most recent player to sign to the Cleveland Browns roster.
Hyde previously played for the San Francisco 49ers. He was drafted in the second round in the 2014 draft. During his time with the franchise he played in 16 games, scored eight touchdowns during 240 attempts, and racked up 940 yards rushing. He turned free agent in 2017 before he was picked up by the Cleveland Browns franchise. The $15 million deal was reported by Ian Rapoport on March 14, 2018. Further details of the deal revealed he would earn $6 million of the contract during his first year.
Just a mere year ago Keita Bates-Diop was part of a team that only managed 11th place in the Big Ten conference. This year, not only is he a member of a second place team, Ohio State, he is also player of the year for the Big Ten. This is a prestigious title given by media and coaches.
The stats Keita Bates-Diop put forth to win the title, an average of 8.9 rebounds and 19.2 points per game. These impressive stats were accumulated just one season after a leg injury. His points average would also be one of the reasons that the Buckeyes would finish second in the season. The Ohio State team finished the season with an equally impressive record of 24-7, 15-3.
This is not Keita Bates-Diop's only title. The native from Normal, Illinois has also been Player of the Week for the Big Ten conference four times. Other impressive statistics include a 35 point, career-high game against Illinois in early February. In the game against Michigan State, ranked number one, he would rack up 32 points. As a redshirt junior Bates-Diop should have two 30 point games, giving a hint to the current seasons success.

What things does God work together for good in the lives of those who love Him? Sold into slavery, falsely accused, forgotten in prison– these are troubling events in the life of Joseph. As we approach this text, we'll see the sovereign hand of God at work, fulfilling His promise and truly working all things together for good in the life of Joseph.
The book of Genesis is rich with theology including creation, the fall of man, and justification by grace through faith. Genesis, the book of beginnings, provides foundational truths from which we can learn who God is and how He operates in the lives of His people.
In this study of Genesis, Pastor Skip Heitzig presents an in-depth examination and fresh perspective of familiar stories like the creation, Adam & Eve, Noah and the Flood, the call of Abraham, and Sodom and Gomorrah. This series offers solid information to equip believers with truth in today's battle against the lies of evolution, the basic goodness of man, and a "fairy tale" approach to the Bible.

Photo by Natalia Guzeva/The Siberian Times
Siberian artist and sculptor Andrey Lyubchenko has always believed in the existence of the Yeti. This belief is not uncommon among residents of the sparse mountain settlements that dot the landscape in the hinterlands of eastern Siberia, where Andrey currently lives.
For Lyubchenko his belief in the Yeti had always been a matter of faith. Not faith in the religious sense, but faith in the honesty and integrity of friends, neighbors and countrymen who claim they've seen the Yeti roaming through the woods, fields and mountain valleys of Siberia's Kemerovo region.
Lyubchenko had always hoped that he, too, would one day have the pleasure of meeting Bigfoot's most famous cold-weather cousin face-to-face. That wish was finally granted on July 27, 2015, when he stepped out of the forest and into a clearing located in the Twilight Zone.
"Hi, My Name is Ta-ban … Pleased to Meet You!"
At 5 AM on that fateful morning, Andrey Lyubchenko was out gathering materials for his sculpting work when he sensed an inhuman presence directly behind him. He turned and spotted a full-grown adult Yeti staring at him from inside an adjacent stand of trees. He pegged the creature's height at about two-and-a-half meters (eight feet) and said it had "thick dark brown hair like a bear's – but a lot softer" and eyes that were "just like light-colored human eyes."
To Andrey's amazement, the gigantic manimal eventually approached with his mental hand extended. We say 'mental hand extended' because the Yeti shocked Lyubchenko by greeting him telepathically.
While initially taken aback Lyubchenko quickly realized the creature meant him no harm, and the two "gentlemen" carried out a mind-to-mind conversation about the meaning of life that lasted for more than 40 minutes. The Yeti told Andrey his name was "Ta-ban", which Andrey later learned means "the one who wasn't discovered" in a local indigenous language.
Andrey wasn't carrying a camera phone so he had no opportunity to take pictures. But he was astonished when his hairy new friend agreed to pose for a few minutes while Andrey sketched his likeness on a smooth sheet of yellow birch bark.
After the picture was finished Ta-ban was so pleased he autographed it with his own personal symbol, which Lyubchenko had never seen before and has been unable to identify even after searching through various online databases. He assumes it is a symbol of friendship but that is only an educated guess.
What, Exactly, is the Yeti? Fact, Fiction or Something in Between?
Andrey Lyubchenko says he never uses drugs or alcohol, and those who know him in his hometown of Tashatagol, Russia swear he is a straight shooter and a level-headed person with no history of exaggeration, self-promotion or prevarication.
Andrey knows he has no real proof of his encounter. And he knows what skeptics will say. But what happened was so astounding he believed it was his duty to report it, consequences be damned.
Of course it would help if Ta-ban came down from the mountains and verified Andrey's story in person. But whoever – or whatever – Yeti and Bigfoot actually are it is clear they simply don't roll that way. They are enigmas and clearly plan to remain so for the foreseeable future.

My mom made these coconut Moka cakes for the holidays this year. They one of my grandmother's Christmas recipes, although I had never had them before, she used to make them way back, before my time. It was great discovering them, the perfect sweet little after-dinner holiday treat with a wonderful cake center, a sweet icing and lots of coconuts. Needless to say, I have been eating lots of them.
They are called coconut Moka cakes here as this is what my grandmother used to call them but they are pretty close to (if not just plain are) Australian lamingtons. What did my French-Canadian grand-mother was doing in the 60-70s with an Australian lamington inspired recipe, I do not know. But it is very true to her always-exploring-new-things spirit, which I have always loved and found a very fitting way to start the new year here.
2011 was a good even if a tad hard year. I learned a lot, cooked a lot and traveled a little. I spent a good amount of time here, shaping it more and more into what I want it to be and improving various aspects slowly but surely. I still have lots to learn but I am glad to be where I am.
And I am very grateful and thankful that you are all here with me. I am quite hopeful 2012 will be a great year, hopefully, a year of change, movement and exploration of new things. While keeping the good things 2011 brought though, of course. I hope you guys have a wonderful and happy 2012, filled with joy, health, and peace. xo
