Alabama Walk
September 13, 2008 at Heardmont Park
Dear Friend,
I will be joining with thousands of people nationwide this fall to walk in AFSP's 2008 Out of the Darkness Community Walk to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. I would appreciate any support that you give me for this worthwhile cause.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is at the forefront of research, education and prevention initiatives designed to reduce loss of life from suicide. With more than 32,000 lives lost each year in the U.S. and over one million worldwide, the importance of AFSP's mission has never been greater, nor our work more urgent.
I hope you will consider supporting my participation in this event. Any contribution will help the work of AFSP, and all donations are 100% tax deductible.
Donating online is safe and easy! To make an online donation please click the "Support This Participant" button on this page.
As someone who knows first hand that deep dark pit of despair, this cause hits very close to home for me. Without the help of organizations like this I would not be here today. So please take the time to donate.
Due to my health limitations at this time I will not be participating in the walk itself. I will be volunteering only to help register participants. Please continue to help support the cause by donating.

Kunjarugiri is a village in Udupi district in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is located about 11 km from Udupi City near Moodubelle. The main attraction of the village is a hill, known as Durga Betta, on which is located a temple of Durga, known to locals in the Tulu language as Kunjar Amma. Parashurama is credited with erecting the temple in honour of the divine mother Adi Shakti.
Sri Madhvacharya, the founder of the Dvaita school of philosophy, used to visit the Durga temple every day during his childhood. Around the hill, there are four ponds or thirthas which were visited by Sri Madhva everyday. The four ponds are called Dhanus Thirtha, Gada Thirtha, Bana Thirtha and Parashu Thirtha.
Shree Durgadevi of Kunjarugiri:
Kunjarugiri is reputed for its sanctity owing to the celebrated Durga Temple on a high hillock popularly known by the names: Kunjarugiri, Durgabetta and Vimanagiri.. This potent Durga Saannidhya, which was installed by none other than Lord Parashurama.
The high hills, abodes of Shree Durga and Lord Parashurama, look like "Kunjara" (Elephant) for which the place is known as "Kunjaragiri" or "Kunjarugiri".
It is also reputed as "Vimanagiri" because the Gods and Godesses came by "Vimana" to offer floral tribute, when Jaganmatha Durga was installed on the hill by the Lord Parashurama.
Sacred association of Vishwaguru Shri Madhwacharya – gives it a prominent place in the spiritual sphere.
The ancient Durga temple stands on the top of Vimanagiri amidst the lush green groves of hilly serenity. This very serene location of the temple, its antiquity and the divinity of the magnificent idol of the Goddess, at once creates a memorable feeling of long lasting devotion and piety in the hearts of the devotees. It has been the experience of every devotee who visits the temple for worship. The devotees feel the spiritual solace and the potent protection at the feet of Durgadevi. The holy atmosphere in and around the shrine, the holy Theerthas, the Lord Parashurama Temple and the nearness to Paajaka Kshetra makes it an important place for the pilgrims.

Why Plastic Surgery Italy ?
Plastic Surgery Italy is a medical group whose objective is to combine the requirements of one or more plastic surgery operations with a luxurious and relaxing holiday in the very homeland of this branch of surgery.
It was in precisely this area of the Mediterranean that reconstructive plastic surgery was first introduced by the Arabs when they conquered Spain and Sicily in the Ninth Century. The techniques were then developed in Italy by the Branca family, who came from Sicily, and by the Vianeo family in Calabria, and were then further improved by the Fioravanti, Tagliacozzi.
In fact we can say that Italy is certainly the nation that has made the greatest contribution to the development of this area of medicine.
We must also not forget that the first techniques for liposuction were also invented by the Italian, Arpad Fisher.
So, what better occasion to enjoy a magnificent, luxurious holiday in one of the most beautiful parts of Italy and to return home a new person…?

Wonderful Mother
I did a Mother's Day card today. But, I'm not really happy with it. You know how you have one of those days, when you keep switching everything around to make it work, but it never really does. That has been today. Anyway, this is a cute little image from The Paper Shelter. I colored her with Copic Sketch markers. The cardstock is Stampin Up and DP is Basic Grey's Kioshi. The sentiment is Stampin Up also. The buttons are from Oriental Trading and the pearls are Recollections from Michaels. The flowers I made with my Cricut and I used the cartridge Mother's Day Bouquet. They are made from the cardstock and DP that I used on the card. The brads in the center of the flowers are just some that I had in my stash.
I am entering this card in these challenges:
Digital Tuesday - Challenge #103 - Button Up
Bearly Mine - Challenge #6 - Mother's Day
My Time to Craft - Challenge #133 - Ladies Day
The Paper Shelter - Challenge #6 - Flower Power
Dutch Dare - DDCC#105 - Celebration
2 Sisters = Challenge #32 - Make Your Own Embellishments
All Sorts - Week 96 - For a Special Lady
Craft Your Days Away - Challenge #16 - For Mum or a Special Lady
All for now. I hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

I know it has been awhile since I posted here but I've started my first semester back to college since 2004... wow, I guess at 37 that makes me a non-traditional student now. I received my BA in Cultural Anthropology in '96, took an extended vacation in Alaska for 2 yrs, and then goofed around in a Comparative Religion Masters program for awhile. It seemed time to finally focus on a 'real job' . Therefore, I entered into a Mortuary Science Program (the reasoning behind this choice is another story). I'm now taking 5 classes and also doing an introductory internship with roations once a week. It has been fascinating but I had forgotten what exam weeks feel like emotionally and physically. I came out of it very satisfied and I think I actually over studied!
This last month has not seen me blogging at all and my miniature making was stiffled a bit. I have new listings in my etsy store but not nearly the amount of things for October that I wished to. Still, I have managed to participate in the artist groups I am a member of. Highlights of September at Cauldron Craft Miniatures:
1) I participated in the 1st Annual EtsyDarkTeam Halloween Scavenger Hunt! Players were led from one darkly spooky Etsy shop to the next by following the little ghosties.
It began this morning, Oct 3rd, at 10am and is already over with 14 winners randomly matched to one of the lovely donated dark art prizes. There were hundreds of dollars worth of handmade goodies by the Team's very talented members. The event was a great success and hosted by the hardworking Room3Designs, whose work can be found at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5866511 Yay Go Dark TEAM!!!
2) I made and sold several miniature magical scroll and parchment sets. When I create paper related accessories like books, maps, posters, and photograph collections, I tend to make several sets within a similiar theme. No 2 are ever alike though and even if I receive commission requests based upon someone seeing a previous item, I always tell them that each piece is intentionally different and unique. Here are a few examples from September:
3) I joined AIM, Artists In Miniatures, a group run by and for dollhouse miniature artists. If you are interested in reading more about the group go to their main site: http://www.artisansinminiature.com/index.html
I've really enjoyed reading their online FREE zine in the past and am very honored to be included in its pages this month! The October issue is packed with goulishly delightful Halloween and spooky miniatures by so many talented artists! For some reason however, I was inspired to write about one of my other passions: the Western world's fascination with ancient Egypt. Beginning on page 20, you will find my article "An Intriguing Theme, Egyptian Revival Style". There I discuss my own first attempts to make miniatures with an Egyptian flair and also the historical development of the movement in art and design from the Colonial period on. Follow the link: http://www.artisansinminiature.com/issue10.html
4) I bought many wonderful miniature goodies from my beloved Etsy TeamMIDS! All in the name of shopping for Christmas (yeah right!). My mom and I share our toys and dolls so it really is in all honesty shopping for me too. A few examples of my treasure trove:
Above is the cutest little hornet's nest from PeachBlossomHill: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7945829
Mini Ouija board and crystal ball - Oct. 16
Mini coffin shelf - Oct. 21
Witchy spoon - Oct. 23
6) Finally, I participated in the Etsy Dark Team's shop swap and had 2 fantastic partners! The whole affair was so much fun and really challenging artistically. These lovely ladies and their works will be featured in upcoming blog articles here!

The Larcenist Issue 5 screenplay and stageplay contest September 6, 2014 - September 26, 2014
Reading and Deliberating
The Larcenist literary magazine is looking for screenplay and stage play submissions for the fifth issue that will be published in October 2014.
Two winners will be considered for publication in the magazine. Although we do not doubt there are much more than merely two good writers/screenplays/stage plays out there, we must have this fail-safe in case we come across a dry spell. That being said it is more than likely that the winners will indeed receive publication in the magazine.
If we feel that there are more than two submissions deserving publication, we will contact those authors that do not make it on the winner's list after the contest is completed.
If you do not wish to enter the competition, but still want to send us your work, please read the 'submission guidelines' section on our website.

Most entrepreneurs don't look for marketing help when things are going well. The phone is ringing, the schedule is full of appointments, and they just don't have the time right now. Maybe next quarter. So by the time they are open to me and my services, they are usually in a pretty desperate space.

Gmail how to: Remove sender images and bring back the delete option
Google announced the all-new Gmail last week and began rolling it out for all Android users this week. The update arrived in the Play Store on June 3rd and while it brought some notable changes, there are a few items that have been bugging us. The two that seem to be the most offending is the lack of a delete option and the sender images.
Anyway, as it turns out, both of these can be easily adjusted by heading into the settings. Specifically by heading to Settings -> General Settings. From here you will need to make a few additional taps depending on which item you are adjusting. Those looking to bring back the delete option should tap the first option — Archive & Delete actions.
From here you have a few options available, but those looking to have delete and archive should choose Show archive & delete. Once that has been completed you will then see an option to archive and also to delete when viewing an individual message. Additionally, a tap and hold of a message from the Inbox view will also present both the archive and delete options.
Next up is the sender images. These, in theory are nice to see however when you seem to be getting messages from users that don't have an image set, they seem rather silly. You can get a look at my current inbox from the image here, but we suspect others have a similar look. That said, this change is just as easy as the last. Again, you will need to head into the general settings. Once there just look for Sender image and make sure the button to the right is unchecked.
Of course, while there were some small annoyances, this update did bring some nice features. For example, the access to the labels (by tapping the menu icon in the upper left) seems convenient. Plus the swipe to clear seems to be a good way to quickly move through some messages.
One of the other differences that arrived with this update is with the multi-deleting (archiving). This latest release requires a tap and hold for each message you want to include. Not ideal, but we suspect it is something that we will get used to with time.

Good designs should be simple, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. No surprise that many of them are Nature-inspired, considering that Nature has been experimenting for millions and billions of years... even if by trial and error.
That car design has potential. Although it'll be a whole other matter to deal with the petroleum industry and the whole infrastructure reformatting.
It's refreshing to hear him shoot down the myopic view of the corporate representative in such colorful vocabulary.
And... Work should really feel more like play. That's the ideal. I would love to visit his office, from what it sounds like.

Samsara Asian Fusion
Samsara is a food-lover's paradise situated in a very romantic location on stilts over the lagoon.
The kitchen lead is taken by the Resort Executive Chef, Olivier Ramos, along with Indian Chef Shriyal Ramsawrup. The menu presents an exquisite choice of modern Indian specialties - light and fragrant as well as the newly launched Thai Cuisine which is refreshing and spiced. Complemented by a great selection of sushi variations - this is where fine dining becomes a pleasure.
With a menu as dramatic as the setting, Samsara deserves at least two visits: one to begin exploring the outstanding a la carte menu and one to experience the Teppanyaki Table by Chef Donnie, a very refreshing Teppanyaki Chef who enjoys giving the best live-show possible daily to the valuable guests.

After DeAndre Jordan threw down arguably the dunk of the year on poor Brandon Knight last season, he showed off a "stank face" for the cameras. For tonight's ESPY Awards, ESPN sent Jordan a gift, and he showed the stank face on a great Instagram video.
Here's that Jordan dunk again because we could watch it forever.
And here's DJ's so-called "stank face," after the dunk:
ESPN asked their fans to send DJ funny gifts for tonight's ESPYs. One fan decided to send DJ some Febreeze for the "stank face" he gave after the dunk in Knight's grill. Here's Jordan opening up the gift.
DJ's dunk is up for Play of the Year tonight at the ESPYs, and he's pretty excited, so make sure to keep an eye out because we're pretty sure he'll bust out the "stank face" if he's called to the podium.
Will DeAndre Jordan always be most famously known for that dunk on Brandon Knight?

- My review:
If you have ever watched and loved Ridley Scott's Alien movie, then you probably could not wait to see Prometheus, too. I did go to the theater to see this movie and I was glad that I did. This unique, sci-fi masterpiece didn't do so well in the box office, I believe from the lack of advertising. Luckily, I came across its trailer and marked the day on my calendar.
As always, Mr. Scott's images are vivid with detailed space ships and costumes. The scenes are very blue and lifelike. The plot is interesting. The way he wove religion into the storyline is smooth and gets you thinking.
A few things I didn't like. Every action scene felt as if I had seen it before. It wasn't that disturbing because the story flowed and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The original idea of where mankind came from was not appealing to me. The idea of how God created us in his image and gave us a beautiful place to live because he loves us so much pleases me more then the idea that some dumb giant, naked alien came to our planet, drank a thick black gooey stuff, fell into a waterfall, and viola! Evolution started and produced us.
I watched it on Netflix a second time and enjoyed it just as much as I did at the movies. I hope there will be a second part.

Ned Dorneget
Position: Probationary Agent for the NCIS Cyber Operations
Cause of Death: German S-mine explosion
Ned "Dorney" Dorneget may not have been part of the NCIS crew for long, but his contributions had an enormous impact on all of his colleagues. He temporarily replaced Anthony DiNozzo on the Major Case Response Team when DiNozzo Senior was under investigation, and he periodically came back to help with special cases. His alternate persona was even named "Gilroy Libbs." Sound familiar? Rearrange a few letters and you'll figure it out.
Dorneget's humor and excellent investigation skills were only matched by his compassion for others, which was made evident when he sacrificed his life in order to save civilians from a bomb threat.

The Virgin Money Cyclone is a weekend of riding and racing for cyclists of all levels, from beginner to professional road racers. It features a series of long-distance, mass-participation challenge rides, known as sportives. It also includes the Beaumont Trophy road race which attracts some of the fastest riders in the country.
Pelican's outdoor PR team was asked to maximise participation in the challenge rides and achieve the milestone of becoming the country's largest sportive. As well as maximising the crowds for the Beaumont Trophy.
Key events for the Virgin Money Cyclone such as the opening of entries, support from sponsors and record entry levels were all published in key cycling titles. A three-page route preview was negotiated with the leading magazine Cycling Weekly and a competition to win a VIP weekend to the event was offered to readers.
We created an online campaign with a dedicated Facebook page and Twitter feed to keep riders up to date with information on the event. We also targeted cycling forums to create interest and encourage registrations.
Brilliant Results
The Virgin Money Cyclone communications campaign hit all the main print and online titles generating over £60,000 worth of PR value. Entries for the challenge ride increased to over 3,500, making the event England's largest sportive. Over 2,000 spectators turned out to watch the Beaumont Trophy ensuring the weekend was a huge success.

This past Saturday, I enjoyed the air conditioning and relative quiet of my local Whole Foods Market. It was late morning and the shoppers hadn't quite all turned out yet.
My laptop was open and I typed away furiously. What was I working on?
I don't remember now.
My concentration was broken by a Whole Foods employee who emptied the trash cans that were next to where I sat. "Excuse me," he said, "I don't mean to bother you. But, do you mind if I ask you a question? It's a weird question."
"Sure," I replied and looked away from my computer. Admittedly, I was a little hesitant, not knowing where this conversation was headed.
The man asked me, "How fast do you type? It looks like you type really fast."
Not expecting typing to be the weird question he wanted to ask me, I honestly replied that I didn't know how many words per minute I can type. But, yes, I do type fast.
"I also noticed that you don't look at the keyboard," he stated, "How do you do that?"
I chuckled and thought of that old joke about getting to Carnegie Hall and replied, "Practice."
The man went on to tell me that he was trying to teach himself how to type and asked me if I had any pointers. I showed him the keyboard of my laptop and explained which ones are called the "home keys," and that's where you rest your hands. I also showed him how the F and J keys have little raised bars on them, so that you remember where to place your pointers fingers to align up correctly with the home keys.
I encouraged him not to give up. I told him typing is a great skill to learn. I let him know that I didn't always type fast – or accurately – that it comes with time and repetition. I recommended that he visit his local library to see if they have classes, or could provide him with some other assistance. I also mentioned that maybe he check out videos on YouTube to see if they would be helpful. I was at a loss on how to give someone typing instruction – a skill that I've had for so long that I don't even remember when I learned it.
He thanked me for answering his question, and for the suggestions, and smiled.
I wished him luck and smiled back.
That brief exchange really made me reflect on taking something like typing for granted. The digital divide is a growing problem, and the skills that go along with that – like typing, or keyboarding, whatever you want to call it.
I think I spend a lot of time agonizing about the skills that I don't have. I need to spend a little time recognizing and being grateful for the skills I do have – and how I can help others to shrink that divide. We all should.

Within Temptation just released this new video with Xhibit. Yeah, Xhibit, the fucking rapper-slash-ride pimper.
Goddamnit. They must have taken up acid... or they've just been doing it all along.
Still, this isn't such a surprise. Within Temptation was founded by the husband and wife team of vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt. They run that bitch like a dictatorship, and no one else really has any say over their material or sound or appearance.
While this would be a great thing if the dictators knew what the hell they were doing, to me it is more of a detriment than anything because they actually could be making good music if they allowed it to be influenced more by others.
You can tell in the songs they write. In the past, they have come up with some amazing, mind-blowing, goosebump-inducing riffs, intros and interludes - but it never lasts. You get 10 to 30 seconds of a good song, then the rest is fucking crap. Cheese-laden garbage. And I usually love cheese.
They've made about one or two songs that I enjoyed the whole way through out of their entire lengthy and successful career. That's just my opinion, and I know others will like more of their stuff than that, but even they have to admit that there are just parts of their songs that would've been better left unrecorded.
I dunno, guys. I'll just go and listen to one of the two songs I like from them and try my hardest to forget what the hell I just saw.

Great meal and service...always a pleasure coming here.
Very slow service with over cooked food
Shrimp and Grits was great!!
Usually, I love this restaurant. However ...
1. We had reservations for Sunday at 11:30 to be able to make a 1 PM movie which only played once and for which we had prepurchased tickets.
2. The reception area was strewn with people who wanted to block others from entering.
3. Once seated, I told our server about our time needs and were assured that it would be no problem. It became a problem
4. 15-20 minutes after being first greeted by our server, I had to ask another server to find our server to ask about our drinks - 3 waters, a cocktail and 2 sparkling wines.
5. Beverages finally arrived - 1 sparkling wine was cold but lack sparkle. The second sparkling wine had plenty of sparkle but was warm.
6. The food was very good when it finally came out.
7. We were late for our performance.
When we were choosing some place for happy hour - we selected another local establishment. Being with a client, I felt that it would be inappropriate to complain about timer and drink quality so I added ice to my $12.5 glass of mediocre CA "champagne." Not r=terribly pleased overall, but enjoyed my meal very much.
We were able to get a same day reservation, but the place was PACKED - a lot of belated Valentine's Day traffic for sure. We were seated 25 minutes after our 7:30 reservation and were given a free appetizer for the inconvenience - which was nice. They make great cocktails and have a good variety of wines. The lobster flatbread appetizer was "uneven" meaning half had lobster and the other half didn't. And it had a strong lemon flavor. Three out of the 4 entrees were delicious - roasted chicken with vegetables, shrimp and grits, and scallops over risotto. My husband ordered one of Season 52's long term signature dishes that has always been excellent - the Asian inspired sea bass. Sadly, the bass was over cooked and dry this visit. Clearly, the kitchen was overworked on such a busy night.
This is a nice restaurant. Busy, vibrant atmosphere. Our food was excellent. We'll try it again next time we're in the area.
Overall fine but incredibly slammed on a Saturday night and everything was late and out of order.
Sat at the bar, watched the VT game, had great food, loved the experience.
Stuffed mushroom app was salty; entrees were good; service was meh; waiter was nice but missed bringing cocktail entirely, he just wasn't great at all.
Celebrating family Birthdays. Everything wad Good!!
Great food and excellent service!!!! We'll be back😃
Ive been going to Seasons 52 for years and have always enjoyed it. But, the last two times my gf and I were there, we were disappointed. The roasted Roma tomato flatbread was tasteless. The grilled artichokes with preserved lemon hummus was just average. I liked the hummus but the artichoke hearts were not flavorful. The caramelized brussels sprouts were delicious! Our salad was the spinach with Bosc pears. Dressing was unimpressive. Our waiter was wonderful, though. Funny and engaging! I think we will try other restaurants at Tysons next time we are there.
Nice family-friendly restaurant. Menu is interesting and food was tasty - lots of different flavours on one plate. Quite loud so probably not the place to come on an intimate dinner or a business meeting where you need to hear what your dinner companions are saying. One of the chefs was delivering our food (probably due to the overwhelming number of patrons-to-waiters ratio that evening) - he was incredibly charming and polite and honestly made our evening :)
They gave me a rose for vday! The waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu which helped choose. The food also came in quickly.
The food was great and the service was quite good as well but the ambiance of the restaurant was not quite at par with other Seasons 52 restaurants. The restaurant is inside the Tyson's corner mall. They first they tried seating us next to the busy mall traffic for a special occasion dinner. Not quite the experience I was expecting but we were seated at an inside table when I asked.
What an AWESOME Valentine's experience!! Everything was very good!! CS & our waitress Tiffany was GREAT!
I enjoyed the time I was there. I was not happy with the salad. The salad dressing did not have any Flavor to it. The meat loaf was under seasoned for my husband taste. I loved my meal of lamb the dessert was awesome. The customer service was absolutely fabulous. I would go there again
This has been our favorite restaurant for quite sometime now , going on 3 years.
Never have we had a bad meal or service .
This Valentines was special because it was our 1st time as a "Married" couple .
Love the Rose to each lady. Very nice touch!
And our was waitress, while busy, was engaging and spot on!
Kuddos again! Job well done
Great food and great service in a comfortable atmosphere.
Jose was an attentive server. The food was amazing as always.
Our drinks were great. My food was delicious--had filet mignon and lobster tail. Our server was terrific and made great suggestions. However, hubby had the maple chicken and was un-impressed. He felt the flavor was rather flat. Nice evening overall.
Seasons 52 was a our go to place for birthdays and anniversaries; however, after our dining experience on Valentine's Day 2019, it will be our last. It was just me and my girlfriend. To begin with, the place was jam packed and had people overflowing at the main entrance. After we were seated, we ordered wine. They told us that they did not have 2 of the wines we had asked for. Our server also told us that the wine menu was going to be changed at the end of the month. Me and and my girlfriend were like HUH?!?! This is Valentine's Day - probably the most busiest day of that month, how could you not have stocked up on everything for this occasion or have a new drink menu ready to go?? I ordered a filet mignon and my girlfriend ordered their wood grilled pork tenderloin. My order came out great and my girlfriend's pork came out half squealing. Her pork was beet red in the center was way under cooked. The cook came out and said that was the way they served it. My girlfriend was like no way and asked that it be well cooked. Her plate was taken away and sent back to be grilled some more. When her plate came back it was still pink and my girlfriend asked that it be cooked a bit more. The cook came back and brought a burned dry pork that was hard to cut. At this point, my girlfriend was disappointed and just took the plate the way it was. Meanwhile, I waited and waited until they got her plate semi right. Her veggies on our plate were also raw and hard. After we finished our meal, one of the managers came and apologized and offered to discount the check but the damage was already done. We also did not order dessert. The Seasons 52 we patron had their service and kitchen in order. I don't know where we went that night but it wasn't the favorite restaurant we have wined and dined before. We will not return as we feel Seasons 52's overall service has gone down...way down. Shame, it was a great place to eat and the food was fantastic.
Excellent meal with great service
The food is great, and the drink is a plus, with various options to select from. But it is a little bit loud for a date. Anyway, I definitely recommend Season 52.
Great place
We usually love dining at our local Seasons 52. However this visit - Valentine's Eve, even though we ate early, our salads came out then no more than 5 minutes later, our entrees were out. The rest of the evening was unrushed. Server was great, but the place was very busy. Still we'll be back as we love the seasonal menus.
Always a great meal!
Great meeting place to catch up with friends we've seen for awhile
Each of the four of us had a seasonal meal and every dish had the right balance of flavor, portion size and perfect level of doneness (lamb, steak pork). Brittany did a wonderful job...attentive, thorough and prompt. Great dining experience.
17th Anniversary
We had a great dinner, there were 10 of us and we got this round table separated slightly, made an intimate and cozy dinner with the family, we are thrilled!
Typically, Seasons 52 has always been a pleasant experience for me - it is one of my/our favorite restaurants. This time, the service was extremely poor. Our waitress was had 2 of our 3 of our meals incorrect. Further, she failed to share with us the specials for the evening; we only learned they had them 10 minutes after we ordered, as we overheard another waiter offering them to another table. She only offered excuses, as though she neared little to no responsibilities. When we shared our frustrations with the manger, he seemed to have little empathy and initially offered no apology. The waitress decided to avoid our table as much as possible at that point. It will be awhile before I eat at Seasons 52 again...especially the one in Tyson's Corner. Disappointing experience....
Great for gatherings. Very accommodating for a special event. Great food!
Couple of negatives are the chairs were a bit dirty and the room smelled a bit old.
Friendly staff who delivers great service. The food was great too. I'm going back there this week for another nice meal.
Excellent experience.
The food was good. Planning a retun luncheon in the spring.
Good food, pleasant service, clean dining environment. I will be visiting again!
Birthday. But it was not acknowledged by the server.
13th Birthday Celebration for my oldest daughter.

This is a meal I serve when I'm not really in the mood to cook. I don't have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen & my family still gets a delicious home-cooked meal.
- 1/2c grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
- 1/2t garlic powder
Preheat oven to 400'. Mix cheese, garlic & dressing mix in a bowl. Moisten chicken with water, then coat with the cheese mixture. Place in a 13x9 baking dish. Top with additional cheese mixture. Bake at 400' for 20-25 mins or until juices run clear.

|Improving the Water Use Efficiency of Rice - Final Report
|Thompson, John
Griffin, Don
North, Sam
|Issue Date:
|Series/Report no.:
|Program 1
|The cost of irrigation water accounts for 20-30% of the total variable costs of rice production in the Murrumbidgee and Murray Valleys. Rice production consumes a substantial proportion of the available supply of irrigation water. Any agronomic/water management practice that has the potential to reduce water use should be investigated. Research in the Burdekin River Irrigation Area indicated that crop water use of rice grown on raised beds was 32% less than when grown using conventional permanent flood. Whilst recognising that there are likely to be agronomic constraints to rice production on raised beds in the Riverina, investigations into potential water savings, were investigated in this project. The project evaluated the water use efficiency of rice grown on a raised bed layout on two of the principal soil types used for rice production (four experiments). This layout was compared with the now traditional aerial sown fully ponded flat layout. The opportunity to explore water management options on the raised bed layout was also undertaken in three of the experiments. Water use was quantified and agronomic performance of the rice crop monitored. Maintaining water in the furrows all season reduced grain yield by an average of 10% (range 7-20). In three of the four experiments harvest index was lower where water was maintained only in the furrows. Moisture stress during panicle development and grain filling may have contributed to this result. Although sterility was not measured, no affected panicles were observed. Water use, where water was maintained in the furrows, was reduced by 14% (range 7-18). Water use efficiency increased on two occasions but decreased on one. Efficiencies for the two irrigation layouts by water management treatments of most interest (water maintained in the furrows; fully ponded flat) ranged only from 7.1 to 8.1 kg/ha/mm of water used by the crop. Despite an apparently similar soil type across the experimental areas, considerable variation in water use between plots with the same water management was measured. When attempting to measure water use in 'small plots' it is recommended that there be a minimum of four replications and/ or differences in water management between treatments be substantial. This project demonstrated that rice can be successfully grown on the raised bed layout (yields > 10 t/ha). Reductions in water use will not be as substantial as those reported from Queensland. Where water 'subs' readily to the centre of the raised bed grain yield, water use and water use efficiency are all likely to be similar to the traditional fully ponded flat layout.

RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Felician College junior Ciera Clark (Granite Bay, Calif./Del Oro) has been named to the 2014 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) NCAA Division II All-East Region Softball Second Team, the NFCA announced on Thursday.
Clark had already become the first Felician softball player to be elected All-Region in the Golden Falcons' 18-year history when she made the Daktronics Second Team earlier in the week. She is now a consensus all-region selection after being honored by both governing bodies that choose such teams.
Clark, a 5-foot-8 first-baseman, had been elected to the all-Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference First Team. In 38 games, she batted .445 with 10 home runs and 43 runs batted in, all single-season Golden Falcon records. She added 13 doubles, one triple, and 35 runs scored. She is a 2011 graduate of Del Oro High of Loomis, Calif.
Felician completed 2014 with a won-lost record of 19-22, a four-win improvement over the previous season. The Golden Falcons finished ninth in the CACC with an 11-15 league mark, missing the conference playoffs by two games.
The NCAA Division II East Region is comprised of all members of the CACC, East Coast Conference, and Northeast-10 Conference; 37 schools are encompassed.

When Jason Leonard came to the Club
At last on Wednesday night, the much talked about Evening with Jason Leonard came to fruition. Before the night itself, which was a huge success, a lot of work had gone in to making this happen, not least from our DoR Colin Ridgeway who knows the big man from their time at Harlequins together, but also from Lisa Botes who coordinated all the bookings and menus.
In the end a room full of Club Members, players and newcomers to the Club met up at Well Hall for a few drinks before dinner. After some welcoming words from our Club President, Des Diamond everyone enjoyed a fine dinner prepared by Scrum Club Catering who once again surpassed themselves and then the highlight of the evening when Jason gave us of his wit and wisdom during a Q&A session compered by Colin. Insight was gained and a lot of laughter ensued.
And the evening was far from over as no event such as this is complete without a raffle and auction. Within the raffle guests won an assortment of prizes including rugby balls and England Shirts signed by Jason.
And the auction culminated in 2 people, Kieron and Ben, successfully winning the grand prizes to be Jasons guests at the England v Wales match in May, including match tickets, a tour of the Presidential suite and accompanying Jason to the RFU Members Bar. Not one but two incredibly generous prizes donated by the Big Man himself highlighting once again what a privilege it was to have the RFU President at our Club and aiding our fundraising in support of our plans.

A fabricated sexual assault could lead to a culture of fear, said Staff Sgt. Rick Waugh.
"In this case, first of all, it's a waste of police resources. That's the secondary reason you shouldn't do it. The primary reason is the fear it creates in the community and the impact it creates," he said of a sexual assault complaint that turned out to be false.
On Wednesday, the Greater Sudbury Police Service responded to a sexual assault complaint in Minnow Lake. According to the police's initial press release, a female was walking on Second Avenue when she was grabbed from behind by a male with a knife. The release added that the male reached under the victim's shirt, ripping it in the process before the victim got away.
"When we arrived at the complainant's house, we obviously dealt with (her) needs, as we do in all cases like this," Waugh said, adding the woman was given medical care because a knife was involved, although she only had several minor scratches. Police also used a canine unit to track the suspect, who was described as 25 to 35 years old with a tattoo on his left hand.
"It wasn't until the next day, when we were following up with the initial complaint, that we had revisited the scene and revisited with the alleged victim," Waugh said. "The allegation wasn't adding up. The investigators determined that the story wasn't accurate."
The victim eventually admitted that the assault was fabricated.
"We're still investigating the reasons why. There was a reason, but it shouldn't have ever happened," Waugh said.
A case like this often becomes a balancing act. While the woman could be charged with public mischief, police must also work to avoid re-victimizing a victim.
"Sometimes people come forward and we may not get the total truth, but they're still victimized. You want to be careful when laying a charge like pubic mischief. You want to be careful we're not re-victimizing the victim," Waugh said.
"By no means does this police service, and I'll speak for the Crown (prosecutors) as well, by no means do we want to deter anybody from coming forward. If people have been truly victimized, we definitely want to hear about it."
Jennifer Johnson, Laurentian University's women studies chair, hasn't seen many fabricated cases of abuse.
"One of the things we know is that stories are often not fabricated, and I would say that this is a case (that's) uncommon and there's obviously something particular to this person's case that the pubic doesn't know about," she said.
"When we look at sexual assault ... we want to take people seriously when they're talking about it. In Canada, one in four women in their lifetimes experience some type of abuse."
Johnson acknowledged sexual assault and rape is an under-reported crime.
"There's still some shame associated with this. It's often difficult for people to leave abusive situations due to poverty or finances or manipulations of their abuser."
According to Waugh, a case like this could affect entire communities.
"When you hear something like that, it has a profound effect on some people, especially people who live in the area who have children walking to school, or who jog. When that's put out there, it's troubling. There's an element of fear."
John Lindsay, president of the Minnow Lake CAN, hasn't noticed any concern in his community.
"I haven't heard a thing ... Based on our seniors, I don't think that overall the population is really overly concerned," he said, adding that false claims could lead to a boy-whocried-wolf situation.
"It's not good to have people yell fire, because eventually you don't pay attention," he said.

Machine Messiah Auge
The MM: AUGE is a relic left over from the AD era. It is a machine messiah, the precursor to the modern Joker mortar headd. There are several differences between mortar headd and machine messiah; machine messiah are several orders of magnitude more powerful than the typical Joker mortar headd. Also, machine messiah existed in an era before fatima were used as mortar headd co-pilots, thus they use direct neurological interface to the pilot in order to control its complicated systems. The MM: AUGE is unique in that it still uses the old interface, but has been outfitted with a fatima cockpit as well. What benefits this gives the AUGE is unknown, but the AUGE's level of performance far outstrips that of standard mortar headds.
The AUGE's combat capabilities are impressive to say the least. It sports two large active veil systems that cover it nearly from head to toe and beneath the veil it hides a plethora of blades and spears it can use to decimate an enemy unit. The AUGE's main weapons are its twin spadds. These spadds are larger than a normal mortar headd beamsword and they house an incredible secret: when combined, the twin spadds form a gigantic beam-scythe. With the power to slice mortar headd armor as if it were paper, the AUGE's Beam-Scythe is a weapon to be feared.
The MM: AUGE's pilot is Amaterasu family overseer, Green Neipier. He considers his AUGE to be one of the most beautiful Electric Knights in the galaxy and he decides to take on the Engage Octaver: SR-1 to prove it. The AUGE's fatima is Neipier's partner, Diode. It is said that the AUGE's fatima cockpit was created specifically for her.
- Name:
- Type:
- Machine Messiah
- Meight:
- Unknown
- Nation:
- None (property of Amaterasu family)
- Height:
- 18.9 meters
- Weight:
- 182 tons
- Output:
- Unknown, but probably at least comparable to MM: Yen Xing. Possibly on par with other Mirage mortar headds.
- Weaponry:
- active veils, twin spadds, beam-scythe, arsenal of blades.

Facebook is killing Google, enjoying more than 800 million users, half of whom log on to connect with family, friends and colleagues daily.
This is the meme that's been boiling over from the tech press in the wake of Nielsen's latest top Web brands list.
Certainly, when it comes to user engagement, or time spent online, Facebook wins in a walk, where users spend four times as much time as they do on Google:
Further reading
But this has been the case the last couple years, which is why Google is trying to match Facebook with Google+, the social network that reportedly has more than 62 million users and could have half as many as Facebook by the end of this brand-spanking-new year. I'll believe that when I see it.
Henry Blodget mounted a spirited defense of Google, arguing that Facebook can't yet compete with Google in the obvious: the money trail. Blodget wrote:
"To get a quick reality check on whether Facebook is killing Google, all you need to do is glance at these two numbers:$40 Billion$4 BillionWhat are those two numbers? Those are the approximate revenue numbers for 2011 for Google and Facebook respectively. Google's 2011 revenue will be about $40 billion, and Facebook's will be about $4 billion. Google, in other words, is 10 times Facebook's size."
The Facebook sycophants, sympathizers and friends disregard this with a shoulder shrug, believing that the top social network will ultimately slingshot past Google in social advertising.
Their logic follows that people will continue to spend less time on Google and more on Facebook, which is where the ads will be.
Blodget calls B.S. on this, arguing that Facebook will not catch or leapfrog Google "unless it figures out a way to insert itself between consumers who want to buy specific products and companies that make and sell those specific products, the way Google has."
Blodget's summary sort of makes Google Offers, Google Wallet and Google's local commerce and search endeavors all the more poignant, no? It also suggests Facebook needs to make a commerce engine of sorts to rout Google.
Then there are people like me who believe people who overshare are silly and that people overstate the value of the network. Facebook is merely the medium, the platform. I get no more joy out of it than I do my hammer, lawn mower or leaf blower.
Okay, maybe that's not true. A recovering misanthrope, I sometimes enjoy my power tools more than I do sharing on Facebook. This Timeline thing?
It's a prettier way for Facebook to package themselves as brands that can be targeted and retargeted for advertising. It's just a play to help businesses and people sell you more crap.
Google, for me, is the more complete tool set. Search, documents, email, all compartmentalized, but if I want them integrated, I can create and share on Google+, the bid to get some of the mojo it lost back from Facebook.
Ironically, Google is leveraging traditional TV advertising to put an emotional, human face on its social network and other products to compete with Facebook. This is a serious effort to cement its relevancy.
I'd be shocked if Google became irrelevant or uncool, but it could happen. I'm just not sure Facebook is the Google slayer.
I strongly believe that despite all the integration of applications, games, mobile and communications that people don't want to just be in the Facebook silo. Just as not all of us want to live in the Google silo.
Yeah, it's comfortable for now, but there's going to be something better that comes along in 10 or 20 years, making both Google and Facebook seem antiquated. But I think the Web is moving and evolving too fast, even for Facebook to rout Google.
If there is a "winner" of the race, it's not these two companies. We haven't yet seen the new participants, even if the media like to paint the two as locked in a death-match power struggle.

GulfInteriors a boutique showcase
Dubai, May 7, 2013
GulfInteriors, the annual exhibition for interiors, design and furniture, will open its doors today at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre for what promises to be yet another boutique showcase for both trade visitors and members of the public.
The exhibition, which runs until Thursday, is one of a trio of trade shows being simultaneously organised by Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE).
Held in a creatively charged yet distinctly boutique atmosphere, gulfInteriors 2013 will feature more than 70 companies - some home-grown, some regional and several renowned international brands covering sectors including furniture, paints, kitchens, bathrooms, lighting, ceramics, wall coverings and art and accessories segments.
Together, the exhibition promises to be an inspirational showcase.
"The size of this year's show and the expectations attached to it from exhibitors, visitors and HCE as organisers, says much about the regional feel-good factor," HCE managing director Jubran Abdulrahman said.
"Since its launch in 2010, gulfInteriors has carved a distinct niche as a place where specialist product and service providers can mingle and do business with project managers, specifiers, buyers and even home owners, against a background of exciting new projects and increasing economic wealth," he added.
Last year's show, held in conjunction with the market-leading gulfBID exhibition, saw over 6,500 visitors coming over three days.
With the inaugural Gulf Property Show being integrated into the three-day showcase, HCE expects total visitor of numbers to significantly exceed this figure this year.
"We are excited about the nature and scope of potential visitor attractions, led by renowned interior brands such as Hempel and Berger Paints, Thevenon, Designers Guild, Lignet Rosse, Walter Knoll, Vondom, Cattelan Italia, Sonia Rykel Maison, Tarkett and Missoni Home, to mention a few," added Mr Abdulrahman.
gulfInteriors2013 is supported by the Industry and Commerce Ministry, Tamkeen and the German Arab Chamber of Commerce. The show will be open from midday until 9pm today, and from 9am to 9pm on the following two days.-TradeArabia News Service

Fall/Winter 2014 Haute Couture Catwalk Videos
Atelier Versace Interview Fall/Winter 2014/2015 Haute Couture - Paris
First day of the Haute Couture shows, with Jennifer Lopez invited to Versace. First day of the Haute Couture shows. As soon as Jennifer Lopez arrives at the Chambre du Commerce & de L'industrie in Paris, she poses on the front steps with Donatella Versace, followed by guests, ready for the occasion in an evening dress and stiletto heels. The tone is set. On the podium, Mariacarla Boscono opens the show in a long fitted skirt and a black jacket with rounded sleeves, which finishes in a triangle with straps at the back.
Donatella plays with chic elegance, showcasing the house's own codes whilst putting forward a luxurious yet modern couture. The cropped jackets have just one long sleeved arm, a bare shoulder revealed on the other side. A corset effect, golden buckles and fringe appear on pieces made around black, white, midnight blue or dark purple. The long dresses possess slits on one side and cover the other leg with trousers. The graphic essence is transformed in volume, with double duchess silk ball gowns coated in silicone, the last of which is worn by the great Stella Tennant.
Interview with Mario Testino
For me, the essence of my profession is the shows, that's where it all starts like the ideas, and fashion starts at the shows. Well, not really because it starts at the ateliers, but for me it starts here so I think it's very important to come, and it's true that I've been coming for thirty something years, I feel very glad. Moreover at the beginning I had to stand at the back, I couldn't see all of the shoes, and now I can easily sit down and photograph everything.
Fashion is always a frenzy, and Donatella knows how to do it very well. I love it when she goes into her own universe, because that what stylists should do, stay true to themselves. I find she does this very well.

There's nothing worse than feeling inspired to paint a card, gift or piece of furniture and then sit back and feel a pang of disappointment that somehow the colours just don't compliment each other. While some of you out there are lucky enough to be intuitive enough to select colours that work together, this is not a gift that all of us have. The great news is that there is a solution with the colour wheel. With one of these by your side, you have a foolproof way of creating your own complimentary colour schemes.
A few weeks ago, we created our own version of the Ives colour wheel using comma strokes. Not only is this a therapeutic and fun activity as you enjoy mixing each colour and practicing the strokes, you are creating something you can refer back to, time and time again.
The great thing about this wheel is that it makes planning your colour scheme for a project so easy. To find complimentary colours, simply look at opposite ends of the wheel. When you put two complimentary colours side by side, they intensify each other.
You can see this each time you pair red and green, purple and yellow and orange and blue.
By picking two opposites you are creating and working with a complimentary colour scheme but it doesn't end there...
If you think your colours are too bright, you can tone them down by mixing the two complimentary colours together. This will mean you are neutralising the colours.
For example, by adding a touch of red to bright green, you tone it down. Similarly, adding a touch of green to your red paint gives you a darker red. As you can see, this works with all complimentary colours.
We used a complimentary colour scheme to paint our two sets of roses - red and green. On the left, we added white to create pink roses with light green leaves. These still work as a complimentary colour scheme because after all, pink is still from the red colour family. On the right, we created a complimentary colour scheme using burgundy and green creating a more vibrant look.
As well as our complimentary colour schemes, you can create a monochrome colour scheme like the one we used for our Angel gift box. Choose one colour (we used violet but you can choose any colour family - blue, red or orange etc) Add black and white to create your monochrome palette
HOMEWORK: take two complimentary colours and use them to paint a design.
Why not go one step further and add black/white to these colours to create tones and tints and create more colour schemes. We hope you feel inspired to play around with your own colour schemes after learning a bit more about colour theory.
Which colours are you itching to put together first?
Happy Folking! x

A Los Angeles jury on Tuesday convicted state Sen. Roderick D. Wright on all eight counts in his perjury and voter fraud trial.
The Inglewood Democrat was indicted by a Los Angeles County grand jury in September 2010. He had pleaded not guilty and said he thought he had been following the law in 2007 when he took steps to run for the seat he has held since late 2008.
In a trial that began Jan. 8, prosecutors accused Wright of faking a move to a rental property he owned in Inglewood so he could run in what was then the 25th Senate District.
They accused him of lying on voter registration and candidacy documents and of casting ballots in five elections he was not entitled to vote in from the Inglewood address.

Toronto Raptors only have themselves to blame for a pretty bad performance in Atlanta. It was no secret what the Hawks were going to do to try and score in this game. They were going to shoot it from three and mix that up with going inside to Horford and Millsap. Hawks are a classic inside and outside attack that has become common place for many NBA teams. Just to drive home the point Kyle Korver had made a three in 75 consecutive games coming in. It would take less than a minute for him to extend that streak as he was abusing Demar DeRozan on the defensive end of the floor. DeRozan would eventually go on a furious run in the second half to try and bring the Raptors back but far too little and far too late. Where this game really slipped away was late in the second quarter where the Raptors went to sleep and allowed the Hawks to build 12 point halftime lead primarily in the final three minutes of the half. In the end the Hawks took this one 102-95.
The final score was quite flattering to the Raptors to tell the truth. Atlanta was the team that was moving the ball on the offensive end of the floor and the Raptors were not. The Hawks had a 24-15 advantage in assists to emphasis that fact. Raptors were playing as individuals more than as a team and no player illustrated that more than Rudy Gay. He was a one man black hole shooting 6 for 23 with 14 points and was 0-3 from three point range. To illustrate is me first attitude he had 14 shot attempts in comparison to the rest of the Starting 5 having just 16 at the half.
Hard to remember but this game started with a lovely drive and score for Jonas Valancuinas. He would only see four shot attempts the rest of the night. He was also left hanging trying to defend Al Horford which was a tough task for the second year player as Horford led the Hawks with 22. It is not like the Raptors were sticking to three point shooters to be unable to help him out as Atlanta was 10-23 from long range.
In truth the Raptors reserves did a better job on the defensive side of the ball but combined only produced 15 points. It was a dejected DeRozan and Gay that addressed the media after this one
The Raptors face a Bucks team that came back from 22 down to beat the Celtics 105-98. The Bucks have some real injury concerns early at the point guard as they are already down to their third string option at the position with both Knight and Ridnour out of the line-up. If you're concerned this game will not happen tomorrow night after the mess in the pre-season with the Bucks floor no need to be. The Bucks are going to use their old floor while they figure out why the new one leaks.
In the end if you want to talk about being a playoff team, games like last night simply can't happen on consistent basis. Talking about being a playoff team is nice, but two games in the Raptors look nothing like one at this point. The scary thing is it only gets tougher from here. The Raptors can ill afford to drop another winnable game on Saturday against the bucks.
Hawks With A Team Effort Smack The Raptors
