In this exchange program, students enroll directly at University College London (UCL) and take classes with local and other international students. Northwestern students have the option of studying abroad for a semester or full academic year. Students will pay Northwestern tuition and are responsible for travel and all other expenses (including room and board). Information on the visa process can be found through the Exchange Student website.
Host Institution
UCL is one of the top universities in the world and was ranked 5th in QS World University Ranking 2014-2015. It was founded in 1826 and in 1878 it became the first university in England to admit female students on equal terms with men. UCL has the best academic to student ratio in the UK (1:10), enabling small class sizes and outstanding individual support. UCL is also the top-rated university in the UK for research strength. At least 32 UCL academics and students have recieved Nobel Prizes, including Mahatmi Gandhi, Alexander Graham Bell, and John Stuart Mill.
UCL is located in central London in the Bloomsbury area, which is filled with academic institutions, museums, libraries, restaurants and some of London's finest parks. For example, the British Library, British Museum, National Theatre, Royal Opera House, and National Gallery are all within walking distance. The city is very well outfitted with public transit trams, buses, and underground rail.
Housing & Meals
UCL will assist students with housing, and most Northwestern students will be housed in UCL residences, alongside local and international students. Students will typically have their own room with a shared bathroom, and most have self-catering options. All residences are within a 2-mile radius of UCL with easy access to local food stores and other restaurants. Meals are also available at UCL's Student Union for under £3.00. If students cannot be accommodated in UCL residences, they may be housed in privately leased residences, with assistance from UCL.
Students will be expected to enroll in four courses per term. Students will apply and be admitted to a home academic department, where they must take 50 percent of their courses (two per term). The following UCL departments are included in the UCL exchange program and will be available to Northwestern students to enroll, if they meet the eligibility requirements of that department: Liberal Arts and Sciences, Economics, Geography, History, Archaeology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Physics & Astronomy, Science & Technology Studies, Statistical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Neuroscience, Molecular Biosciences, and Engineering.
For the remaining 50 percent of their courses (two per term), students may enroll in courses outside of these departments. Each department has a study abroad tutor, or academic adviser, who will assist Northwestern students in making course selections and completing course enrollment. Course registration happens during the International Student's Orientation Programme on arrival.
Students will receive a transcript issued by UCL, and course credit will be eligible for transfer back to Northwestern as long as students earn course grades of C or better. Refer to the Credit Transfer Page for information on the "C" grade equivalent and minimum credit requirement for this exchange program.

Know Your Mitel Hybrid Options
The latest in an ongoing series on hybrid UC services...
I recently attended Mitel's annual conference for analysts and consultants, so let's make Mitel next in my ongoing series on various vendors' hybrid UC solutions.
To wrap our heads around what Mitel offers in terms of a standardized hybrid UC solution, let's first dissect its portfolio. What follows is going to be a lot of MiThis and MiThat, so keep an eye out for the similar but not identical product names. We'll start with Mitel's two main UC offerings:
- MiVoice, the primary set of voice and UC solutions that Mitel sells to businesses for on-premises deployment, as well as to providers building their own cloud-based UC services
- MiCloud, the family of cloud-based UC services that Mitel sells direct to businesses, as well as delivers as a wholesale service for provider partners to resell
Each of these come in three flavors: Office, Business, and Enterprise. Forget about Office for now; we'll circle back to it later. As for the others:
- MiVoice Business and MiCloud Business are targeted at SMBs and the mid-market, so businesses with up to about 1,000 employees. They're based on the same underlying software, which means there's no significant difference in feature set regardless of whether a company has it deployed on a server on premises or as software in a data center, or has it delivered as a service.
- MiCloud Enterprise is targeted at larger companies -- those with 1,000 or more employees. It's also based on the same underlying software as Business... essentially a dedicated instance of the MiVoice Business software, hosted by Mitel for a single large enterprise customer.
Because they're based on the same code, a MiVoice Business system that a company has on premises can work seamlessly with Mitel's or a provider's MiCloud Business service in a hybrid configuration. Ditto for MiCloud Enterprise. The most common deployment scenario for this is for a company to have a PBX on prem at a headquarters location, but use MiCloud for satellite offices, said Jon Brinton, president of Mitel's cloud division. This is also the classic hybrid call control configuration that businesses, especially large enterprises, adopt when gradually migrating UC systems to the cloud.
The common code base across MiVoice and MiCloud facilitates a hybrid apps scenario. In this case, a company can subscribe to Mitel's MiCollab and/or MiContact Center as cloud-based apps associated with a MiVoice Business or Enterprise system on premise s. These are the only two applications Mitel currently supports in this kind of hybrid apps configuration.
Postscript: None of this applies to MiVoice Office, which is based on legacy Inter-Tel systems, and MiCloud Office, which is a service based on technology from Telepo, a company that Aastra bought before it was in turn acquired by Mitel. Because they're based on entirely different technology, they're not designed for interoperability or hybrid configurations.
Post-postscript: MiVoice Enterprise also falls outside of these hybrid scenarios since it's the new name of MX-One, Aastra's PBX for large enterprises. Because it's not based on a separate code base, it doesn't integrate as cleanly with MiVoice Business-based systems and services. As a result there's no hybrid option, as least not one that's been made into a standardized offering.
Hybrid Apps for Legacy Systems
Restricting hybrid options to what's essentially a single platform (MiVoice/MiCloud Business) has been problematic for the modern Mitel. The company is made up of almost innumerable acquisitions. MiVoice Business may be the flagship platform that receives most to all of the attention from Mitel developers, marketers, and sales folks, but many other legacy call control systems are in place within the Mitel customer base. Each of these systems has its own set of communications apps that is either not being actively developed any more or is not being developed as aggressively.
To address this, Mitel is developing a way to deliver cloud-based apps "over the top" on most any Mitel PBX. This is through a combination of native integrations and a new API platform that abstracts the CTI interfaces of specific voice systems. Mitel (and eventually third-party developers) can write an application once and, through the API platform, it will work with multiple call control platforms. "The cloud API platform will let us bring advanced apps that are cloud-based to users of existing [Mitel] premise-based solutions," said Brian Spencer, GM of Mitel's contact center division.
MiCollab and MiContact Center will be the first cloud apps to be made available on a wide range of Mitel call control platforms. MiCollab was originally developed as the UC application specifically for MiVoice Business. And MiContact Center (based on PrairieFyre technology that Mitel acquired) has one-off integrations with some, but not all Mitel systems. Both are now available as hosted apps for MX-One, MiVoice 5000, and MiVoice 400 systems deployed on premises, with MiCollab also available as a cloud-based app on MiVoice 250.
For more in this series on hybrid UC offerings, see:
"The major advantage of the API platform is that the integration is much more lightweight and much easier to deploy and install," added Martin Bitzinger, GM of Mitels' enterprise group. "As such the evolution for customers in these rapidly developing segments will be at a 'cloud pace' instead of at a complex, traditional, monolithic IT systems pace."
Another advantage will be the ability of third-party developers to use the API platform to integrate micro-applications with a wide range of Mitel call control systems. For more details, see the UCStrategies.com blog by Blair Pleasant, of COMMfusion, about this. I'm not sure when Mitel's new API platform will be generally available, but sometime in 2017 seems like a safe bet.
Other Mitel Hybrid Scenarios
Mitel is supporting hybrid scenarios in other ways, too. Here are a couple that cropped up at the conference the other week:
- Contact center software on-site/call control in the cloud. Solidus eCare (aka MiContact Center Solidus, aka MiContact Center Enterprise) is the contact center platform that came with Mitel's acquisition of Aastra. Its very large base of mainly European customers doesn't plan on retiring Solidus eCare any time soon. But many of these customers are looking to transition telephony from on-prem PBXs to hosted services. So Mitel has integrated Solidus with Telepo's hosted telephony platform. This lets service providers offering a Telepo-based service -- Tele2 in Sweden is the one I heard about -- integrate their cloud-based telephony services with Solidus software on prem.
- UC software onsite/team collaboration in the cloud. MiTeam is Mitel's newly introduced cloud-based team collaboration app. Like Slack, Cisco Spark, Unify Circuit, and the rest, MiTeam provides a persistent workspace for messaging, file sharing, and voice and video calling, and is geared for small groups. (And like Slack, Spark, Circuit, and the rest, it stands out from other team collaborations apps in various ways... but this isn't the time to go into that.) MiTeam is included in the Premier tier of MiCloud Office, in which case it's a cloud-based app for a cloud-based telephony service... so no hybrid nothing there. But it's also available as an integrated part of MiCollab, the premises-based UC app sold with premises-based MiVoice Business. And there's the hybrid angle... but in this case it's an on-prem instant messaging and conferencing app that's tightly integrated with a cloud-based team collaboration app.
With a portfolio comprising technology that not only it acquired but also that its acquired companies acquired, Mitel needs to be able to provide a very diverse set of customers with a clear path forward. For many of those customers, the path will first lead to making recently developed communications apps available on systems that now fall squarely into the legacy bucket. Hybrid apps as an integration strategy is a creative way of addressing this, and one that should appeal to businesses already turning to online communications and collaboration apps.
The path will inevitably lead customers away from older systems to newer technology that Mitel is actively developing. Again, hybrid UC is a creative way for Mitel to flip its installed base gradually -- helping them to migrate off of older call control systems to a mature hosted communications service that has been available for years.

Assignment: Your favorite yearbook messages
iREPORTS FILED
iREPORTERS SIGNED UP
Created June 7, 2011 by
The handwritten messages plastered across the pages of yearbooks -- often filled with lengthy passages and funny drawings -- preserve lifelong memories of school days past.
But budgetary crunches have forced some schools to choose between hiring teachers and buying yearbooks, threatening this tradition. Other schools are turning to electronic yearbooks that can be printed or include digital signatures.
We want to know if you've got any messages you hold especially dear, and how you feel about yearbooks. Do you think students will still sign them in the future?
Update: This assignment is now closed. We put together a photo gallery on CNN.com featuring the best of the bunch. Thank you for your submissions!

At the January meeting of the Roland Park Civic League, residential parking permits were on the agenda. West University Parkway homeowners near The Carlyle are having trouble finding spaces to park. Residents on the southbound side of University Parkway, near Keswick Road, are too.
While The Carlyle has a parking garage, it is not free. Some renters choose on-street parking instead. On a street where parking is tight, the lane (as alleys are called in Roland Park) is narrow and garages are few, parking becomes problematic. Many apartment buildings, large and small, stand near the corner of University Parkway and 39th Street. Most have garages, but not all renters want that expense on top of the monthly bill. Homeowners like to be able to park in front of their houses.
Now that Johns Hopkins University is using the former Aegon building at Keswick Road and West 40th Street, parking on nearby residential streets has become tight. That includes West University Parkway on the northbound and the southbound side.
On the southbound side near Keswick, no homeowner but one has a driveway. The nearby lane ends before it reaches some of the houses. Many owners can park only in front of their homes.
The street is a boulevard, with a wide green park in the middle, and nearby roads on which to park do not exist. If residents come home and find no spot to unload groceries, they must park in the bike lane, quickly unload and then find parking blocks away. With small children in tow, that can be tedious. There's nothing like having to use a stroller for shuttling children between car and home.
The houses on University Parkway were built before the land at the Rotunda was developed and before high-rise apartments went up on University Parkway at 39th Street. Now, with two and three-car families and greater density everywhere, parking is an issue for homeowners already paying high property taxes.
Baltimore City Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke was present at the Civic League meeting. Not only does she represent the University Parkway homeowners, she also is the councilperson who, almost 30 years ago, drafted the bill to create residential parking permits. The first area to use them was Oakenshawe, also located off University Parkway.
Until Deepdene Road and surrounding streets overflowed with construction workers, students and business-related cars, Roland Parkers had never felt the need for parking permits. For 10 years, Roland Park has now had permitted parking during the daytime, except on weekends, in the area of Deepdene and Club roads. Keswick Road, near 40th Street and the Rotunda, has them too.
The quickest way for University Parkway residents to obtain parking permits is to apply block by block as add-ons to the other permitted areas in Roland Park. If 60 percent of homeowners in each block wants permits, residents will be able to obtain one permit per vehicle, plus guest permits. Each permit costs $20 per year.
The thought of paying one more cent for anything after paying the highest property taxes in the state is not what people who have decided to buy homes in the city want. Many young families are already stretching their finances to move to this area with its topnotch public school, Roland Park Elementary/Middle.
Still, with no alternative parking, parking permits become a logical solution.
Perhaps University Parkway homeowners and the Civic League might also talk to apartment managers and Johns Hopkins University administrators to explore what can be done to make existing parking areas, and satellite parking areas, more attractive to employees and renters.
A long-term solution, of course, is to decrease the number of cars in the neighborhood. Until better public transportation exists in Baltimore City, parking permits ease congested residential areas.

Before the heavens and the earth came into existence, all was a chaos, unimaginably limitless and without definite shape or form. Eon followed eon: then, lo! out of this boundless, shapeless mass something light and warm rose up and formed. This was a House, in which materialized a place called Living Room. Next, Bathroom and Kitchen, followed by rooms called Bedroom and Playroom. These divine rooms are called The Home.
In the meantime what was heavy and opaque in the void gradually precipitated and became the Dirt, Grime and Germ, and it took a very short time before it condensed sufficiently to form a solid layer in The Home. In its earliest stages, Dirt, Grime and Germ may be said to have resembled oil floating, medusa-like, upon the surface of everything in The Home. Suddenly like the sprouting up of a reed, a group of humans arose. These were Husband and Wife.
Many children were thus born in succession, and so they increased in number as Dirt, Grime and Germ increased in number too. But as long as the world remained in a dirty, chaotic state, there was no happiness to be had. Whereupon, God summoned the two divine beings, Husband and Wife, and bade them to consolidate The Home into a sanitary place. "We bestow on you," God said, "this precious treasure home, with which to rule your own happiness, the disinfecting of which we command you to perform." So saying God handed them a cloth called Lysol Disinfecting Wipes, embellished with Microlock Fibers to help trap germy household messes. The couple received respectfully and ceremoniously the disinfectant wipes and then withdrew from the presence of God, ready to perform their august commission. Proceeding forthwith to the Bathroom, which lay between the Kitchen and Living Room, they stood awhile to gaze on that Dirt, Grime and Germ which lay below. What they beheld was a world not visible to the eye, but looking like a sea of filmy scum, exhaling the while an inexpressibly foul odor and possessing the ability to make all who touched it deathly ill. They were, at first, perplexed just how and where to start, but at length HUSBAND suggested to his companion that they should try the effect of cleaning up the film with their Wipes. So saying he wiped over the Bathroom surfaces. Then drawing it up, he examined it and observed the Dirt, Grime and Germ that immediately coagulated on the Lysol Disinfecting Wipe. Delighted at the result, the two descended forthwith from the Bathroom to reach the Kitchen. Thereupon the Husband turning to the left and the Wife to the right, each went round the Kitchen and cleaned up Dirt, Grime and Germ so that none of their raw chicken or eggs should make them sick. When they again met each other on the further side of the Kitchen Island, Wife, speaking first, exclaimed: "How delightful it is to see things so clean and disinfected!" To which Husband replied: "How I miss seeing the Football game!" After having spoken thus, the Husband said that it was not in order that woman should ask a man to clean. Nevertheless, she ordered him to disinfect the house. The Husband, now silent with anger, ascended to Heaven to confirm with God his wish. God said to them: "It is the Wife's fault. It was not right and proper that the female not keep her home cleaner in the first place. She should have been using the entire line of Lysol All-Purpose Cleaners, Sanitizers and NeutraAir Sprays. And it is her profession to ensure that The Home is a safe and happy place. That is the reason you are so unhappy, Husband." The Husband and the Wife saw the truth of this divine suggestion, and made up their minds to rectify the error. So, returning to their Home again, they went once more to the Kitchen. This time Wife did the cleaning with the entire line of Lysol products, while Husband fixed himself a half-time snack "How happy I am," responded Wife, "that I should be able to make you happy while you relax in front of the football game!" This process was more appropriate and in accordance with the law of nature. After this, and with the help of Lysol products, The Home was healthy and left nothing to be desired.

Taking Responsibility for Another
I am so sorry. Sorry to have destroyed your memories, the relics of your childhood, your culture, an experience I had no right in judging. I am sorry to have sat back and watched from the comfort of my own home, too tired from a long day's work at my computer, too busy worrying about what I was going to wear to care to notice the details, the reality of my destruction, the very thorough job I did at obliterating everything that meant something to you. I am sorry to have then turned it off, my ability to see, to care.
I told myself that it was understandable, that to think of what I'd done, to know the scope of my destruction would be to never sleep again, or smile again without seeing it flash before my eyes, if at all. To care would have meant destroying myself.
And you would have done what I did--save yourself--right?
That doesn't matter.
That doesn't make it right.
To turn your back on another human being, on millions, is to...
I don't know. Its a crime.
But even guilt is something of which to be guilty. Misplaced, something to deflect the truth. Penance does not the past erase, the calculated neglect.
You are beautiful. And imperfect, capable of horrors beyond, I know. But you deserve a different hand. We all do. But in the end, the word "deserving" is nothing, means.
You of all will understand that.
Because, despite this, you are still left in the rubble of your past, your memories, your childhood relics.

Out of the black of the night, we hit something which felt like a wall and made a sickening thud and crunch on the front of our car and then flew on top of our roof and rolled down the back of the car. All i saw was a flash of tan and a splatter of something all over the front of our windshield. My first instinct was that we were getting in a car accident, until i realized there were no cars in front of us. My second reaction was that we hit a person, a very tall, big person.
My stomach dropped. Chris let out a horrifying gasp that sounded like he was coming up for air after being tossed around by a pounding wave. I will not forget that sound. He later told me that he thought we had died.
We were zombies, zooming along in a ghost car.
We pulled off to the side of the road and slowly proceeded to the next exit, which was only about 300 yards away. That's when i saw that the front left side of my car was completely gone, shattered off and mangled. Shattered an mangled, my brand-new-to-me car.
I just gave my father a check for it less than 48 hours ago.
We called the state police and they came and filed a report. The trooper had gone to the site of the collision, but the deer was nowhere to be seen.
She had walked away, leaving a splattering of unidentifiable liquid on my front windshield and bits of fur woven into in my front grill.
The lady at the rest stop kept saying, "Those suckers are
hearty. They always walk away! Go get yourself a hot chocolate." I tried to politely refuse the hot chocolate, namely because I'm lactose intolerant, but after the sixth time she kindly offered, I didn't have the heart or the energy to refuse.
We bought bungee cords to hold the rest of our bumper in place and got back on the road. On our way back on the highway, we saw four deer grazing in the median.

Character Sketch Damaged
The little coquette, she is so desperate to be loved. I would like to say that I don't see the desperation in her eye. That would be easier. But I know her too well. Granted, she is good at decorating, at covering up her flaws. Her apartment, her body, her personality. Just as easily as she repaints that one yellowed wall in her rotting studio apartment, the wall that hides extensive water damage—painting a rebellious act without regard for the strict rules of her lease—she goes from a dark self-hatred to a blinding smile. She has studied the art of flattery and her acquaintances are, well, flattered by her seeming selflessness. But really, like that wall, like her clothes, like that smile, its just a deflection. If, perhaps, she spends enough time talking about you, if perhaps she looks cute, you won't notice the extensive damage she's done to herself, the ugliness those decorations hide.

He Was Wearing a Kermit the Frog T-Shirt.
I am so sleepy. Sleepy and warm, dancing in his arms. His long hair is tickling my face. I feel as though I am in a womb. It is dark. Muffled 80s music is dampened by my drowsiness. When I feel his lips come to mine, I snap awake at the realization that this is Landmark. A Real Big Deal. I mean, I've written about this moment in my diary, imagined how it would happen, fretted about my lack of experience. I freak out. The pressure is just too much. I don't know how to kiss! I mean, how do you kiss?!? I pull away and remember that I am in my high school cafeteria. This place where I have spent what seems like my entire life seems so foreign to me now. There are strangers dancing in thrift store clothes. There is a boy with a collar and leash, playfully being spanked by another boy while they dance to "Blister in the Sun". A greasy haired DJ is in his corner, lost to the beat. All that is familiar about this place is the vast expanse of sickly yellow tile and the folded up lunch tables that are sheltering us. And I am happy.

Let's face it – October 13th has never been closer than it is today, but that's still not close enough for those of us who are craving the sweet, human flesh-flavored taste of brand new episodes of AMC's The Walking Dead. Sure, we've seen Michonne nearly get eaten alive in a season 4 teaser clip, but it's been so long since we last saw the fine folks of Woodbury and the Prison that it's hard to remember exactly what happened. Fortunately, the folks over at Cinefix have just the recap video you've been looking for – whether you realized it or not – and gave it a shiny coat of Theodore Geisel-ian paint to create The Seussing Dead. The results are alternately adorable and horrific, which is actually a pretty terrific combo.
Oh, Ricktickles… what manner of stuff and things will you get up to in season 4? What other Dr. Seuss/TV mashups would you like to see? Personally, I think Horton Hears an Abu Hoo-zir is just the ticket that Homeland needs. Let us know in the comments below or hit me up on Twitter using #SeussTV.

President Obama has issued an executive order that aims to combat "malicious cyber-enabled activities" executed wholly, or in "substantial part," by foreign attackers targeting the United States.
On Wednesday, the President detailed a new sanctions program which authorizes government officials to sanction threat actors posing a significant threat to the nation's safety or economy.
"I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with this threat," Obama wrote in the Executive Order.
Specifically, the sanctions would apply to "any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have engaged in, directly or indirectly, cyber-enabled activities originating from, or directed by persons located, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States that are reasonably likely to result in, or have materially contributed to, a significant threat to the national security, foreign policy, or economic health or financial stability of the United States," the order said.
Individuals who have harmed or significantly compromised a computer (or network of computers) that support one or more entities in the critical infrastructure sector are among those who could blocked from financial dealings with the U.S., the order declared, as well as foreign attackers that cause a "significant misappropriation" of funds or economic resources, financial data, trade secrets or personal identifiers.
In response to the new executive order, Lisa Monaco, a U.S. Homeland Security and counterterrorism advisor to the President, said in a White House blog post that cyber threats, such as the ones detailed in the order, "are at the top of the President's list of security concerns."
"In just the past year, we have seen a significant increase in the frequency, scale, and sophistication of cyber incidents targeting the American people, including everything from large data breaches and significant intrusions to destructive and coercive cyber attacks intended to influence the way ordinary Americans exercise their constitutional rights," Monaco said. "In many cases, these threats stem from actors overseas using malicious cyber activities to inflict harm on Americans without ever leaving their desks."

Ralph Brennan's new French Quarter restaurant, set to open in the former location of Brennan's at 417 Royal St., is now slated to start serving around Labor Day rather than in the spring as originally planned.
"It's the scope of the work," said Brennan, a co-owner. "I misjudged, and I did the same thing with Ralph's on the Park. It's a wonderful building, but it needed more work than we anticipated."
The famous pink structure was constructed in 1795. In 1956, it became Brennan's restaurant.
After being foreclosed upon, the building was sold at a sheriff's auction in May 2103 for $6.85 million. Brennan and businessman Terry White bought the property.
Brennan said the second floor of the building is primarily being updated. Downstairs, however, the layout has been changed and an entirely new kitchen will be installed.
In February, a partial collapse of the second-story's floor was widely reported by local media. Brennan, however, characterized that incident as minor.
"That structural issue probably slowed us down a couple of weeks," he said.
Brennan and White have not yet hired a chef for the new restaurant.
"We are interviewing people," Brennan said. "Hopefully, we'll be making the decision within the next four to six weeks."
A name for the restaurant also has not been chosen.
"We're still interested in the Brennan's name," he said, "but we have a plan B."
At this point in the project, Brennan and White have moved from structural concerns to focusing on the restaurant's interior design.
"It's starting to come together," Brennan said. "You see little things happening everyday. It's exciting."

How to create a loading animation using variables in your prototypes
Learn how to create a loading animation (such as a progress wheel or bar) using variables and OnVariableChange events with the help of this tutorial.
Loading animations can add vivacity and personality to your web and mobile apps. Let's take a look at how we can create a loading animation in an iPhone mobile app prototype.
You can download the below example here.
Creating an interactive loading animation in your interactive mobile prototypes
1. In a new iPhone mobile app prototype, drag a dynamic panel to the canvas, resize it to match our example (132 x 240px), and place it in the center of the screen.
2. Add 4 additional panels by clicking the '+' button at the top of the dynamic panel.
3. Drag an image widget into each panel and change each image by choosing the relevant image from the Assets folder provided in our tutorial. E.g. frame1 should be placed in Panel 1, frame2 in Panel 2 and so on. Resize each image to match the size of its container panel.
4. Next, drag another image widget onto the screen and place it at the bottom of the screen, as in our example. Select the logo image from the Assets folder. Ensure that the image widget is placed outside of the dynamic panel, and rearrange it in the Outline tab if necessary.
5. Drag a text box to the canvas and place it on the screen as we have in our example. Type 'LOADING…' into the text box. Ensure that the text widget is placed outside of the dynamic panel, and rearrange it in the Outline tab if necessary.
6. Finally, create a variable, by clicking the '+' button in the Variables tab, next to the Outline tab.
7. Name it 'loop' and make the Default Value 0.
Adding events to your animation
1. Select Panel 1 in the dynamic panel and go to the Events tab.
2. Add an 'On Page Load' + 'Set Value' event, selecting the variable, from the Variables tab, as the component you wish to add the event to.
3. At the bottom of the dialog, the value should be Fixed; 1. Click OK.
This event ensures that the 'loop' variable is set to begin the chain of events that we will map out in the below events. Now, let's set the relevant panels within the dynamic panels to animate at the correct time.
4. Select Panel 1 in the dynamic panel again and go back to the Events tab.
5. Add another event: this will be an 'On Variable Change' + 'Set Active Panel' event. In the Events tab, click 'Add Event'. Add the trigger 'On Variable Change' and from the 'Select a Variable' drop down, select the 'loop' variable. From the actions drop down, add the 'Set Active Panel' action. Select Panel 1 as the component you wish to add the event to. Click OK.
6. Repeat this step for the rest of the panels, by right clicking on the event you've just created and selecting the 'Add action after selected' option. Remember to change the relevant panel each time. In between each action, select the 'Time AFTER previous started' option and change the milliseconds to 200.
7. Finally, add one more action after these. It will be an 'On Variable Change' + 'Set Value' event. Select the 'loop' variable as the component you wish to add the event to.
8. At the bottom of the dialog, make the value calculated and click on the 'Add Expression' link.
9. In the expression builder, create the following expression:
Drag and drop the 'loop' variable from the Variables tab into the builder, followed by the '+' function and then type '1' into the text box. Click OK twice.
These events will ensure that the relevant animation in each panel becomes active at the relevant time.
Some tricks and tips
To make the image move vertically up and down the screen, as our example does, follow these steps:
1. Select the dynamic panel and move it down in the screen, to match our example. This step is to ensure that the animation can be viewed adequately as it moves up the screen upon simulation.
2. In the Events tab, right click on your 'On Page Load' + 'Set Value' event and select the 'Add action after selected' option. Add an 'On Page Load' + 'Move' event. From the Outline tab, select the dynamic panel as the component you wish to add the event to.
3. At the bottom of the dialog, set the left position as Current and the top as Fixed; 77 pixels.
4. Add a Linear easing affect at 5000 milliseconds. Click OK.
To make the image more horizontally across the screen, simply switch the settings for the left and top positions in the events dialog.
To make your animation perform the event continuously on a loop, follow these steps:
1. In the Events tab, navigate to the 'On Variable Change' events you created. On the right of the first event, ('On Variable Change' + 'Set Active Panel' event), click the 'Add condition' option. Add the following expression. The number corresponds to the number of event repetitions, (in our example, we'll have 8).
Drag and drop the 'loop' variable from the Variables tab into the builder, followed by the '<' function and then type '8' into the text box. Click OK.
2. Finally, copy the 'On Variable Change' + 'Set Active Panel' event and paste it at the end of this series of events and actions.
And that's it! You can now simulate your prototype and see how it moves!

Forever, it seems, Britain has been a divided nation. At least that is what the last two centuries of political discourse in this country tell us, before you accuse me of going all Karl Marx. One of my earliest political memories is reading 'Sybil', the Conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli's novel analysing inequality in nineteenth century Britain.
Then, Disraeli wrote, we were "Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy, who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets".
He was talking from an economic perspective, about "the rich and the poor". But at various points in this country's history since then, those same words could have been used to describe other divides: North and South, Left and Right, church and state, England and Scotland. Going into the 2015 general election, however, Britain finds itself divided like never before.
Last week, Labour shadow minister Emily Thornberry resigned for what critics claimed – and her party leader Ed Miliband agreed – was a tweet sneering at the working class. Thornberry, MP for Islington South, a metropolitan part of London (though not without its own poverty), seemed as if she was on safari when she visited Strood, a less well-to-do town in Kent.
There, she posted a photo of a small, terraced house emblazoned with England flags, with a white van parked out front. (For non-British readers, both public displays of the national flag and white vans are stereotypically synonymous with this country's blue-collar workers.) Almost everyone agreed Thornberry was snobbishly looking down her nose at people whose votes Labour rely on. She lost her job later that evening.
Thornberry, atop her barricade waving the Flag of the Republic of Islington, was shot down by a volley of musket fire from insurgents advancing the rebel banner of the cross of St. George. Increasingly, irreversibly, and across the political spectrum, London seems detached from the rest of the country. Most obviously this is happening in the Labour Party.
Miliband, who lives in an expensive house in another well-off part of North London, is an Oxford-educated son of an academic who has spent his entire working life within a few miles' radius of Westminster. He is a socialist who wants to use the vehicle of the state to redistribute wealth in favour of the less well-off.
Yet, with Labour polling around 30 percent, those whom Miliband claims to represent are not voting for him. Instead, they see a man who supports immigration, who opposes regaining British sovereignty from the European Union, a man who does not visit the Doncaster working men's club two hundred yards from his constituency office.
There are profound differences between Ed Miliband's Labour Party and the people whose values his party was founded on, and whose votes it needs to win.
A poll published in the Sunday Times showed that Labour is considerably more popular with middle-class voters in London than it is with working-class voters across the region. Despite Miliband claiming over the weekend that Labour is still "the party of working people", despite all the promises of financial aid for the less well-off, outside of London an ever larger number of Labour's traditional supporters do not see Miliband as their natural leader.
It is easy to scoff at UKIP's claim to be the "People's Army". But Nigel Farage is the only party leader you could imagine sitting in a pub with Dan Ware, the man whose home Thornberry insulted, without it being excruciatingly awkward. UKIP is full of rich, white, establishment figures, but it doesn't matter. It is anti-metropolitan, anti-immigration, anti-corporate, patriotic, nationalist, socially conservative, culturally traditional and – for better or worse – more in touch with the values of many British people outside of London than any of the other parties.
The main parties' respective leaderships do not understand UKIP, yet they try to mimic them. They do not understand so many of those living outside the capital, yet they pretend they do, trying in vain to win their votes.
In truth, between London and the rest of Britain there is no intercourse, there is no sympathy. As Thornberry proved, they are deeply ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings. Quite literally, in the case of the departed Labour MP, she is a dweller in a different zone, almost an inhabitant of a different planet.
This is Britain's new divide: ugly, ignorant, without obvious conclusion. It is why UKIP is doing so well, and why the old parties will all suffer in six months' time. The blood of the martyrs will water the meadows of Islington.

"I've seen no difference in the 3 acres I've had under drip for several years and the trees I've been watering with sprinklers," Killian says. "I certainly can't document any difference and I hope we don't see any.
"I didn't install drip irrigation to increase yields; I prefer to keep production as consistent as possible and do all I can to remove nuts from the trees in years when they are loaded."
Killian's goal, he says, is to improve efficiency and use a bit less water.
The alternate year bearing pattern of native pecan species creates production and marketing problems. And he says a heavy crop one year means a light one the next. Stress of producing high yields prevents the trees from making much the following year.
That's why he prunes heavily on bumper crop years and why he hopes irrigation improvements doesn't disrupt his schedule.
He started with just that 3-acre plot five years ago. "I liked it. With sprinklers, I have to move equipment out of the way to harvest or do much of anything else under the trees. With drip I don't have to move anything."
He's spaced trees about 60 feet apart and tries to put on 8 to 10 acre-feet of water per year. "The sprinklers couldn't keep up with the demand," he says. "I had a hard time covering the area with the sprinkler system."
He got interested in drip systems at a production meeting and worked with a local distributor, Jerry Funk, to put in the first 3 acres. He found that he could water that section in about one-third less time than it took to water a similar plot with sprinklers. "I thought I could get by with less water using the drip system," he says.
Water has become a limiting factor for pecan production in the Southern High Plains as water tables diminish from increased agricultural and municipal demand. "It's also a substantial part of production costs. I hope to see a significant difference in water use with increased efficiency," Killian says.
The success of those first 3 acres convinced Killian to convert the entire grove to drip irrigation. "I planned to do a few acres a year until I got everything converted," he says. "But I applied for funds from the Environmental Quality Incentive Program from the Natural Resources Conservation Service and qualified. With that funding I decided to convert the entire grove to drip at the same time."
He says the conversion created some inconveniences this year but "nothing I couldn't work around."
By early April Killian had the system installed but did not have all the automatic features turned on.
He says the system will require management adjustments. "I've noted some inconveniences. The tape, buried only 5 inches deep, limits cultural practices. I can't disk, for instance, and I can't move trees around the way I would like to. And I'll always have to maintain the tape."
But he has no real reason to cultivate. "I get a natural cover crop throughout the grove to prevent erosion and I keep vegetation in check with Roundup."
He's found other ways to improve efficiency. "I'll run most of my nitrogen through the tape," he says. 'I don't have that system ready to go yet but I will be able to apply fertilizer to the 40 acres through the system.
"I use about 400 units of nitrogen per year and had applied it about 50 pounds per acre at a time, several times a year. Now, I'll apply nutrients almost continuously."
He'll use a flow meter to measure water use. "I've been using 4 or 5 acre-feet of water and it's expensive to lift that much water and apply it. And application is somewhat inconsistent. Now, I'll know exactly how much water I use."
He says the drip system allows him to keep ample water on the grove during critical growth periods. "I learned the hard way to water late into the season," he says. "I'll shut off the system around mid-October and then water heavy after harvest."
To qualify for the EQIP funds, Killian had to provide NRCS with an accurate plan depicting acreage and an irrigation layout.
"We submitted what we were doing, got a design and NRCS approved the project," Killian says.
He says Funk worked with NRCS to develop a map and irrigation layout. NRCS used an aerial map and special software to plot the grove. Global positioning system technology provided accurate data for system layout and for certifying the acreage for EQIP funding.

Ultimate Banana Bread
Moist and delicious banana bread loaded with tons of banana flavor! This is the only banana bread recipe you'll ever need. Packed full of mashed bananas, cinnamon and crunchy toasted walnuts. When I first saw this recipe and saw how many bananas it called for I knew that it would be a hit. Many banana bread recipes only use about 3 bananas total, but with this recipe 6 are used! You read that right-6 bananas!
In order to use so many bananas in the recipe without it turning into pudding, the excess moisture needed to be removed. In order to achieve the most banana flavor the bananas are heated in the microwave to release their juices. The banana juice is then reduced resulting in a concentrated banana liquor intensifying the banana flavor without making the bread too wet.
Ultimate Banana Bread
Moist and delicious banana bread loaded with tons of banana flavor! This is the only banana bread recipe you'll ever need.
Yield: 1 (9inch) loaf
1 ¾ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 large very ripe bananas (about 2 1/4 pounds), peeled
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8½ by 4½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
Spread the walnuts onto a baking sheet and place in preheated oven 5-7 minutes until fragrant. Shake the baking sheet halfway through baking so the nuts will toast evenly. Remove nuts from oven and set aside to cool completely.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, place 5 bananas in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cut several steam vents in the plastic wrap with a paring knife. Microwave on high power until bananas are soft and have released liquid, about 5 minutes. Transfer bananas to fine-mesh strainer placed over medium bowl and allow to drain, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes (you will have ½ to ¾ cup liquid).
Transfer banana liquid to a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to ¼ cup, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, stir reduced liquid into bananas, and mash until somewhat smooth. Whisk in butter, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Pour banana mixture into flour mixture and stir until just combined with some streaks of flour remaining. Gently fold in walnuts. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth surface with a spatula.. Slice remaining banana into ¼-inch-thick slices. Place banana slices on top of either side of loaf, leaving 1½-inch-wide space down center to ensure an even rise. Sprinkle loaf with granulated sugar.
Bake in preheated oven 55-60 minutes until golden brown or toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool bread in pan on wire rack 15 minutes, then remove loaf from pan and continue to cool on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers at room temperature wrapped in plastic wrap.
Recipe Notes: Be sure to use very ripe, heavily speckled (or even black) bananas in this recipe.
This recipe can be made using 5 thawed frozen bananas; since they release a lot of liquid naturally, they can bypass the microwaving in step 4 and go directly into the fine-mesh strainer.
If you use a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan, start checking for doneness five minutes earlier than advised in the recipe.

Look how pretty that is with the row of bananas! Love the idea of toasting the nuts.
You're right. 6 bananas in 1 loaf makes this a killer banana bread recipe.
You are officially my hero.
Oh wow…I absolutely love banana. Your picture makes it even more tempting.
I absolutely love the little pieces of banana on top. So pretty!
Banana Bread is the best! 😀
I was just thinking that we were getting close to wrapping up our quest for the best banana bread. Seems I have another one to try though! 🙂
That´´s a lot of bananas – bet it tastes great!
I have some bananas that I froze because they were getting too ripe. I am going to give this recipe a try with those. It looks delicious!
That looks great! I love the banana reduction…talk about intense flavor! Yum!!
Everyone needs a great banana bread recipe. This sounds delicious and looks perfect. Cook's Illustrated is one of my favorite cookbooks!
I love your blog and recipes. Just made Pumpkin Scones–absolutely delicious! Can't wait to try the banana bread!
I love that you enjoyed the pumpkin scones…Thanks so much for letting me know! I hope you enjoy the banana bread too…let me know how it turns out for you! 🙂
Different from my basic receipe which doesn't include all of the same ingredients. I'm looking forward to giving it a go.
That looks awesome – putting on my "to-try" list!
I made the banana bread and, as promised, it was the ultimate. Thank you for the recipe. I am now eying the chili recipe… yummmmm
I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the banana bread! This recipe has definitely replaced all of my other banana bread recipes! 🙂
I made the banana bread, but probably should have read the entire directions first! I ended up up mashing all 6 bananas and skipping the steps to microwave and cook the banana liquid. It still came out amazing!! Two thumbs up!!
Ha! I admit I have gotten myself in some sticky situations by only skimming the recipe before starting. I am so glad to hear that it turned out for you though! 🙂
Christina!! I made this last night and HOLY MOLY it really is the best banana bread I've ever tasted. I'll be posting it soon. All I want to do is go home and eat the entire loaf…ha!


text: A reliable source in the AMA has just tipped us off to the fact that Ben Bostrom has signed with Pat Clark Motorsports (PCM) for the 2010 season. PCM, which has been linked to Bostrom since the beginning of the month, is keeping the deal under wraps though as they try to sign both Jake Zemeke and John "Hopper" Hopkins to the team as well. If successful, this would mean PCM is building the Deathstar of AMA Superbike teams for the 2010 AMA season.

U.S. trade regulators' move to dry up a flood of cheap foreign steel is provoking an angry backlash from other steel-producing countries and may come too late, in any case, to help troubled U.S. steelmakers.
On Monday the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that American steelmakers had suffered serious harm from foreign competition. The ruling drew a sharp response from the European Union and South Korea: Both said that if protective barriers to their countries' steel were enforced, they would file complaints with the World Trade Organization.

Two Senators Doubt Medicare Compromise
WASHINGTON -- Two key senators on Sunday raised concerns over one aspect of a proposed compromise on the health-care bill, putting up a hurdle to passage of the measure in the Senate.
The proposal to open Medicare to individuals below the age of 65 was a crucial part of a compromise reached last week among senior Senate Democrats, and raised hopes that the Senate could pass the health-overhaul bill before the Christmas holiday. Under the compromise, the bill wouldn't include a government-run insurance plan, a controversial idea opposed by Republicans and some moderate Democrats.
Sens. Joe Lieberman (I., Conn.) and Ben Nelson (D., Neb.) on Sunday voiced strong doubts about the Medicare proposal, which would allow individuals as young as 55 to buy into the program.
"It will add taxpayer costs. It will add to the deficit. It's unnecessary," Sen. Lieberman said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
Sen. Nelson, appearing on the same show, called the buy-in proposal "the forerunner of single-payer, the ultimate single-payer plan, maybe even more directly than the public option."
President Barack Obama, speaking in an interview that aired on CBS's "60 Minutes" program on Sunday, said, "We are now that close to having a bill that does all the things that I said, and most experts said, needed to be done." He expressed confidence that the Senate would pass the bill by Christmas, adding that the measure "is not only deficit neutral, but will actually bring down the deficit according to the Congressional Budget Office."
Without the two senators' support, passage of the bill would be in doubt, since 60 votes would be needed to overcome a procedural hurdle that Republicans would be expected to put up against passing the measure. Mr. Lieberman is one of two independents who caucus with the 58 Democrats in the 100-seat Senate.
Later Sunday, Sen. Lieberman met privately with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) to make clear he would vote against the bill if the Medicare expansion was included, said congressional aides. Mr. Lieberman had voiced interest in the Medicare idea publicly after the compromise was unveiled last week, and congressional aides said he had signaled privately to Democratic leaders that he would not stand in the way of the idea.
Jim Manley, a spokesman for Sen. Reid, said Democratic leaders were "discussing next steps, and how to get a bill that gets 60 votes." A spokesman for Sen. Lieberman declined comment.
Sen. Nelson later softened his stance, saying in an interview that he was awaiting an analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office on the proposal before making up his mind.

Ravi Chauhan named SAP India MD
Enterprise resource planning software vendor SAP India said it has appointed Ravi Chauhan as its managing director.
"Effective immediately, Chauhan will be responsible for driving SAP India's growth strategy and operations across the country," SAP India said in a statement.
Based in Bangalore, Chauhan reports directly to Adaire SAP Asia Pacific Japan President Adaire Fox-Martin, it added.
He joins SAP after four years at Juniper Networks, where he last served as managing director for India and South Asia. Before Juniper, Chauhan held leadership roles at Nortel Networks.
"As a technology hub and with its vast network of enterprises, entrepreneurs and users, India is undoubtedly a key market for SAP in the region and globally," Fox-Martin said.
Chauhan brings the right set of skills and experience to lead SAP India, as the firm increasingly addresses the needs of India's rising millennial workforce, he added.
With over 400 million millennial, India stands as the country with the most individuals in this generation.
SAP said its innovations in cloud, mobile and social platforms are increasingly catered to the workplace of the future and the global networked economy with applications and solutions across all industries.

One day, 10-year-old Oliver Scheier told his mom he wanted to wear jeans just like his friends.
But because he lives with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, regular jeans don't fit over his leg braces. He also has trouble buttoning and unbuttoning them.
So Oliver's mom, who also happens to be a fashion designer, decided to launch the non-profit Runway of Dreams and design clothing for disabled kids. The non-profit recently partnered with global fashion brand Tommy Hilfiger to create a new line.
"When kids can dress like everyone else, it makes them feel like they're on a normal playing field and like they don't have to hide," Runway of Dreams' founder Mindy Scheier tells Tech Insider.
Check out some of the looks, which are now available on Tommy Hilfiger's site.

Left Hand Milk Stout
Brewed by: Left Hand Brewing
Average Price: 4.00
Rating: N/A
Served In: Bottle, Cask, Draft
Added by: drink_finder
This English style of beer, also known as Sweet Stout or Cream Stout, first appeared in London in the late 1800's. The early brewers touted the health benefits of the milk sugar in this beer which today relates mainly to the increased amount of calories(no real health benefitsâ?¦sorry). The milk sugar adds a well rounded sweetness to this dark beer and makes it an outstanding, year â??round stout.

2009 is the Year of the Ox according to the Chinese Astrology, but for the stock market participants, 2009 will be the Year of the Stock Trader. You are going to see some volatile days with very big news revolving around long term oil prices, viability of the United States stimulus package, increasing unemployment, California running out of money, and whether the housing market will ever bottom out.
My strategy this year will be taking positions in companies that are being oversold and doing it incrementally instead of "going all in" like they say in poker. If you normally invest in $3000 chunks, break that into $1500 chunks and reserve a bit of money in case that stock you love falls another 10% so you can cost average and spread around your funds to different sectors. 2008 showed us that no sector is immune to the slaughter in stock prices although some stocks only fell 40% compared to 80% from yearly highs.
With oil hitting $150/barrel and even though it's sitting at barely 25% of that value, I am a big fan of energy and commodity stocks. Knowing how important natural gas, coal, solar, and petroleum will be through every developing nation, it's a golden opportunity to take a position while these prices are so depressed. Banks and housing stocks will have many more tough times ahead of them and a lot of infrastructure stocks will follow the health of the economy. Most of the ten investments below are ones that I believe will have a better chance to go up than down in the next few months. If they do go down any further, just add more shares!
- Alcoa (AA)
- Procter & Gamble (PG)
- Wal Mart (WMT)
- Garmin (GRMN)
- Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO)
- Transocean (RIG)
- Devon Energy Corporation (DVN)
- Nabors Industries (NBR)
- General Electric (GE)
- Perdigao (PDA)
Most of these are large companies with none being small cap stocks. 6 of the 10 corporations have some kind of ties to the energy industry and all are well off their yearly highs. I threw in some Dow Industrial stocks too for some dividend plays that shouldn't take too big of a hit if the market tanks any further. Take your 30% gains when they come and be a happy investor!!!
Disclosure: I have current ownership in Transocean.

We've eaten at Coffee Grounds a handful of times and I remember enjoying the food and loving their Mochamisu. So when hubby was craving for dessert on the way home, this was one of my suggestions.
Hubby was quick to choose the Caramel Custard Cake. The Icing was so good it was like eating ice cream. The caramel topping was super sweet but the cake and the chocolate garnish balanced it out somehow.
Nothing jumped out at me. I even skipped the Chocolate Cake. I was sad that the Mochamisu wasn't available. But after a few bites of hubby's order we requested for the last Mango Ole on display. It was like a toned down, softer version of Conti's Mango Bravo with a lot more whipped cream. We loved it!
If it weren't that late in the afternoon, i would have gotten a Nutella flavored coffee. Hoping that the Mochamisu or Mango Ole are available on our next cake craving.

I forgot to take pictures, grabe na gutom ko!
We ordered carbonara for 180 pesos good for sharing. Sausage 200 php, and Pork steak 200 pesos.. all good. Masarap sya, nakakabusog
Sa coffee. Nutella and Mocha Java both tastes good. Not so sweet di rin naman matabang all for 150pesos..
And lastly, red velvet cake 120 per slice red velvet crinkles 5 pcs for 150 (ata?) and rebel bar for 60 pesos..

1. Located at the Valley Fair building, that conspicuous yellow building along Ortigas extension in Taytay.
2. Great food overall -- no terrible ones so far -- even if the price was a bit steep:
◽Zekesbury Steak (P200) - Ang sarap at nakakabusog. I like the eggs runny. Plus rice (of course) and corn.
◽Frappes: Banoffee (P150) and Nutella Ground (P150) - Parehong yummy! Not too sweet ung Nutella ko. Kaso by that time we were already full because of the steak.
◽Mango Ole (P120) - mukhang mini version ng Mango Bravo ng Contis. But taste-wise Mango Ole didn't taste anything near like it. Instead, it consisted of graham and cashew nuts. It was also good, and it became my sister's favorite.
◽Mochamisu (P120) - eto ang favorite ko. Ladyfingers were set against a light chocolate cake and topped with chocolate ganache (or something like that). Di gaanong matamis ung chocolate and I loved the spongy ladyfingers!
Dahil busog kami we had our unfinished cakes for a takeout.
3. The crew were attentive to us but it seems they weren't to others. They even annoyed one lady customer who complained of the slow service and chided them for dilly-dallying. She even said some warning to them cos she said she personally knew the owner of this cafe. Too bad.
4. Ambiance was really nice. Will try their other cakes and interesting-looking hot drinks. WiFi was fast and reliable too. Maybe the service crew should be more attentive next time.

This is the only coffee shop along ortigas ave. ext. And I like that we I hang out here and do paperworks after work since it is practically along my way home. There is an enclosed area that you can reserve for private meetings for 2k/2hrs, consumable. Not bad for a big group. What I dont like is when there's networking people crowding at the al fresco area occupying every chair and table without orders when customers, like me, dont have a place to dine.
Their coffee's okay, without coffee arts. The praline blueberry cheesecake is good, not too sweet. They have rice meals, pasta and sandwiches. If you're going to plug phones/laptops there a flat charging rate of P40.

What to do after playing badminton? EAT! This place is a perfect hangout and eating place.
The veggie omelette (Php130) was nicely done, not dry. There's a generous filling of fresh and crispy vegetables - green bell peppers, tomatoes, onion and mushrooms. Nothing fancy but chunky and flavorful omelette. Wish they put black olives though. Hehe but that's just me. ;D
The service is good - nice, friendly and efficient staff. Will definitely come back! :)

This used to be mocha blends before but is now known as coffee grounds. Same management but different name and menu. They changed it up a bit. I ate pesto chicken pasta and for 190php with 3 small pieces of chicken, it wasn't very satisfying. The pasta could've been seasoned but they may have been going for the "healthy" route because it's bland. The chicken was salty in contrast. Try other stuff on their menu instead. That's what I would do next time I'm here.
