Restaurant owners are suing SBS for defamation
A BENOWA couple is suing SBS for defamation after the broadcaster aired reports describing their Brisbane Colonial-themed restaurant as "offensive".
Husband and wife Mark and Angela Kennedy last month lodged a statement of claim in the Southport District Court against the Special Broadcasting Service seeking aggravated damages after the SBS Viceland reported about their now closed Hawthorne restaurant and bar British Colonial Co.
The restaurant marketed itself as being "inspired by the stylish days of the empirical push into the developing cultures of the world" and opened in mid-2016.
It closed in January, the claim states.
The action was launched after Viceland's YouTube channel posted a video in September last year which described the restaurant as "bad taste".More at Gold Coast Bulletin

3D Printing Service – OnTime Wildlife Feeders
On-Time Wildlife Feeders, a family owned business that creates a wide variety of deer feeder products.
To produce a 3D printed prototype of the cover of one of their new electronic products.
Before 3D printing, our team of engineers reviewed the design for possible flaws or potential issues. We identified a couple of areas for improvement and corrected the 3D model to achieve better results with 3D printing and to make mass production more streamlined. We used SLA 3D printing technoogy to create the first prototype of the cover out of hard resin material. After printing, we assembled and tested the prototype.
The Result
By 3D printing a prototype of their electronics enclosure On-Time Wildlife Feeders was able to save time and money on correcting the design issues after creating injection molding tooling. The company was also able to present their newest product at a trade show and receive orders even before the product was produced via injection molding.
If you have a new product entering your line up, contact us to learn how we can not only create a prototype of it, but also improve the design before you move it to mass production.

Brian, please create an issue ID for this: "need negative test case for aboutEach as a property element." As to the proposed reorganisation: the vaguaries of CVS being what they are and the desire to preserve existing URIs of test cases leads me to disagree; an alternative approach would be to link the appropriate test cases to the aboutEach issue.

Well the past week has been a good one for Tom.
He seems to have settled back into school life after the Christmas break.
He received Star of the day last Wednesday, and on Friday he brought home a laminated certificate, telling us that he had been awarded Star of the Week for 'settling back into class and welcoming people.'
He does struggle when visitors enter the classroom, and has in the past told them to get out, so for him to shake hands and say hello to the visitor in his classroom is a huge step.
He has also been more settled in the evenings at home. After a run around the house, usually comprising of two or three laps, once he has popped his pyjamas on of course, he will then sit and look at a book or play on his iPad until tea is ready.
He still won't tell me about his day though, but that is ok. I understand that once he is home school has finished and should not be talked about.
This weekend though has been fantastic. On Saturday I took the boys to the Zone in town, where they enjoyed a fun couple of hours.
They were both well behaved and enjoyed zooming down the slide and diving into the ball pool. I was also especially proud of Tom as he happily shared popping the plastic balls into the vacuum like Henry contraption, with only a little prompting from myself.
Then in the afternoon, Andrew was home from work, so we all enjoyed a chilled afternoon, and the boys enjoyed spending time with their dad.
Then, on Sunday, the boys were visited by Granny and Grandpa and were utterly spoilt. Tom was on good form and enjoyed his day with them. That was until after tea time. Usually when their grandparents visit they go home either just before or after tea, but this weekend they stayed over Sunday night in a local hotel, and this really seemed to throw Tom, as it was not the usual routine.
He kept saying to them, 'you go now, Granny and Grandpa, you go home,' we all thought that this was hilarious, and although Tom was a little upset and anxious about this change, he soon settled.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. » Kahuku graduate Ma'ake Kemoeatu completed the journey from undrafted free agent to NFL millionaire yesterday, signing a five-year, $23 million deal with the Carolina Panthers.
The 6-foot-5, 350-pound defensive tackle out of Utah will receive $8 million in bonus money as part of the contract agreed to on the first day of free agency.
The Panthers made Kemoeatu a priority because they waived veteran tackle Brentson Buckner last week and Kris Jenkins missed most of the past two seasons with injury.
Kemoeatu spent the first four years of his career with the Ravens, totalling 92 tackles (69 solo) and four sacks while missing only four games. Last season he had one sack among his 40 tackles (30 solo).
Also yesterday, the Panthers re-signed running back DeShaun Foster to a three-year, $14.5 million contract that finally makes him their star running back.
Foster, who spent most of the last three seasons playing in the shadow of Stephen Davis, agreed to the deal late Friday night. The deal was completed about an hour before the start of free agency and removed the transition tag the Panthers had placed on Foster two weeks ago.
"Bringing DeShaun back was always very important to us," Carolina general manager Marty Hurney said yesterday. "He's a playmaker, he is a guy that defenses have to account for, and he's our kind of person. There was no doubt we wanted him back."
Completing both deals was good news to the Panthers, who appear to be on the verge of losing at least two of their top free agents.
Carolina has been unable to reach a deal with linebacker Will Witherspoon, and safety Marlon McCree had a Saturday visit scheduled with the San Diego Chargers.
Hurney wasn't feeling optimistic about re-signing either player.
"Anytime you don't have a deal when free agency begins, you have to assume that a player is gone," Hurney said. "Sometimes you are wrong, and the player decides to stay. But at this point, the chances of re-signing them are not very good."
The Panthers took a precautionary move in one case, signing punter Micah Knorr just in case they lose Jason Baker to free agency. Baker led the NFC in net punting average last season at 38.9 yards per punt, and his agent has indicated he plans to test the market.
Knorr, who spent the 2005 preseason with the New York Jets, did not play last season.
Carolina could also find itself in the market for a backup quarterback if Chris Weinke opts to try his luck with another team. Weinke was the starter in 2001, when the Panthers went 1-15, but lost his job to Rodney Peete the next season. Jake Delhomme was signed a year later, and Weinke has no chance of passing him on the depth chart.
The Panthers may also have to look for a backup running back to Foster, who has been bothered by injuries most of his career.
Although he's proven when healthy he can carry an offense, he has yet to play a full 16-game season. He missed his entire rookie year with a knee injury, had various nicks and bruises in 2003, then missed a chunk of '04 with a broken collarbone.
Although he was stuck behind Davis most of that time, Foster finally passed him as the Panthers' featured back late last year and ran them deep into the playoffs. But just as he was positioning himself for a huge payday in his next contract, Foster broke his leg in a playoff victory over Chicago and missed the NFC championship game.
The injury likely hurt his value on the open market, but Hurney said the Panthers believed Foster never wanted to leave Carolina.
"He made it very clear from (team owner) Mr. (Jerry) Richardson and below that he wanted to be here," Hurney said. "He never indicated to us otherwise. And that's very important to us, a guy who wants to be here."

Project management isn't easy but there's no need to overdo things. Just because a web-based project management app is complex, it does not always mean it's more useful. There's nothing worse than being bombarded with features and functions you neither need or understand which simply causes confusion among you and your team.
When choosing a cloud-based project management application you should make sure that work can be assigned and distributed in the right way. It's also a good idea to plump for a solution with project analytics reporting to help you top of project goals. This can be a tricky to get right and some web-based project management software simply does't give you enough features to do everything you want.
Xero is powerful and good looking cloud-based accounting system that allows you to manage your business finances wherever you are. It can help you out with everything from invoicing clients to reconciling accounts, creating expense claims, and filing receipts digitally.
Apart from the web version, Xero has a very good app for iOS and Android that allows you to do all of this when you're away from the office. Xero is really well designed with a stylish, clear interface that's easy to use. It allows you to easily see all of your bank accounts, credit card and PayPal balances, outstanding invoices, expense claims, contacts and other essential info at a glance.
Everlist is an extremely easy-to-use project management and productivity tool which uses a simple card system to define your product road map. If you've ever used Trello or JIRA then you'll be familiar with Kanban system that Everlist uses to make sure work is done as smoothly as possible. Everlist is somewhat simpler than Trello though and keeps things as basic as possible in order to keep your focus on the task at hand.
It's easy to get going with Everlist. Setting up your board is simply a case of entering an email address and defining a password. You don't have to wait for any confirmation emails so you can get going straight away.
Getting Things Done, as a concept carved by David Allen in 2001, has aged fast. Users of the method have been shaping its recommendations to fit their needs, but, most importantly, they did so to catch up on how technology could help them get things done with less friction. Apps have also developed their own ways to support some sort of easy path to achieve productivity and the starting point from Getting Things Done soon deviated into several personal methods.
As a Mac user, I'm very familiar with the dispute between Omnifocus and Things, being a previous user of the latter and considering the jump to the previous until I reached out for the web and found Nirvana, which felt like a better deal coming from Things, which manages tasks with Next Actions and Today lists, rather than Omnifocus with its Forecast and the reliance of due dates.
The notion that social media is the next big thing in sales seems to have fallen flat on its face. Virtually every study conducted has shown that Facebook and Twitter campaigns only increase brand awareness. As far as driving traffic to your website and converting visitors into customers, email is still king.
A recent study of companies that used a dedicated email marketing client, good newsletter content and personalisation for each reader reported open rates of over 30%, with similar click-through rates – leading to above average conversions. This kicks Facebook's ass.
Now, the guys behind the industry favourite 'Mail Chimp' have been working hard on a new product. It's called Mandrill and solves many of the nagging issues of traditional email marketing. They claim it trumps the competition by a long-shot. Let's take a look.
Last month, I was loafing round the house with my phone wondering how cold it was outside. Being the ridiculously technology-glued person I am, I started searching for a weather station that integrates with the Web, tablets, and smartphones. (Obviously, stepping into the sun was out of the question, because I'm a vampire [they're real]). After a few clicks, I found the Netatmo, a very slick looking solution to checking the weather when you're not in a walking mood.
The very idea of this may sound ridiculous, I know. However, there is a purpose for everything and I decided to give Netatmo a try. After all, Wired and Time wouldn't feature it unless there is something more than the basic weather station. Or so I thought. (more…)
Of all the major forms of digital communication, email is, perhaps, the most flexible. Yet, for the website owner, it still can't be relied on, in its purest form, as the sole method of communication. Visitors still like the reassuring guidance of specified text fields, and in some cases, pre-defined options can make for a better user experience, not to mention more streamlined correspondence.
It is for this reason that form builders are as popular now as they've ever been. Veteran Wufoo has held the top spot for many years, thanks to its drag-and-drop design suite and elegant output. Other platforms — Gravity Forms (WordPress only), for example — carve out their own market share by providing special features, such as payments and multiple-input guards.
However, one new form-building service, named Formbakery, wants to keep things simple. It, too, offers drag-and-drop design, as well as a form-by-form price. But can it match up to the long-established giants of form creation?
Retail is a seriously competitive game. Even the giants need to make use of every possible marketing advantage and every possible route to a sale. Nowadays, that includes mobile e-commerce, which is, by some distance, the platform that is seeing the fastest growth in sales and revenue.
As with all cutting-edge technologies, however, it is the big boys that have been making the most of this new retail territory, which is a shame, given the struggles many small businesses are having to cope with.
But, finally, help appears to be at hand. Dashsell, a company that has thus far concentrated on providing a simple way to list items for sale online, has now launched Shops — a beta, self-service, mobile store app builder. With plans starting from free, and with web, iOS and Android versions available, it looks ideal for the small retailer. But is this the killer platform that will open a new frontier? Or is it just another cookie-cutter app studio?
Another day, another file sharing app, or so it seems. We're spoiled for choice when it comes to services for sending files big and small over the web, and while it may seem like overkill, the truth is that today's users are diverse in their usage habits and requirements, and a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn't work in this context. So who is Shared good for?
Shared doesn't bother with apps for multiple platforms or syncing files across devices: instead, it offers a cheap, easy-to-use web-based file sharing solution that works on desktops and mobile devices and is perfect for novice users and advanced file sharers who are tired of bloated apps with features they don't use. Plus, you can get started with 100GB of space for free! Sound too good to be true? Let's send some files across the interwebs and see if Shared is indeed all it's cracked up to be.

Lets talk cardboard!!
Posted on October 13, 2017
The Pantry
These works are made on a ground of reappropriated cardboard we discard in our daily food rituals and held together with glue. I like to group them under the title of "The Pantry". As a mother my pantry is the heart of the kitchen where sustenance's can be found. These works are very much a starting place for ideas that I am chewing over for art food. I don't feel precious about the cardboard grounds like I can when using expensive paper. I have the freedom to play and layer to my hearts content. My studies for the Renovator and Director started with a cardboard works as I felt my way around the subject matter. I have some of my hero's and general everyday occurrences being expressed in the pantry. Like coffee with friends and what to make or buy for a family members birthday cake. The every parents nagging thought of " What's for dinner", then there are the "Grief cases" that express the death of things and beings in my life. The largest work "My mother's apron", resides over these creations providing nourishment from the past as the food basics of every creative persons inner pantry.

Pregnant women shouldn't 'eat for two'18th May 2011
The results of a study at Bristol University have shown that pregnant women who eat more for themselves and their baby are putting themselves in danger of obesity.
The research also showed that gaining too much weight during pregnancy could put mother and child in danger, and cause health issues such as high blood pressure in the future.
Heath service guidelines say that pregnant women should not 'eat for two' and a woman's recommended calorie intake of 1,940 a day should not change.
During the last three months of pregnancy, a woman should consume 200 extra calories a day.
The study discovered that women who put on in excess of the recommended amount of weight during pregnancy had triple the risk of being overweight or 'apple-shaped' 16 years later.
The team measure the BMI of 3,877 mothers in the west of England during their pregnancies and again 16 years later.
Dr Abigail Fraser, the report's main author, said: "Our findings suggest that regular monitoring of weight in pregnancy may need to be reconsidered because it provides a window of opportunity to prevent health problems later in life."
"You don't need to eat for two in pregnancy because this will cause you problems in later life, and is also linked to a higher risk of your baby becoming obese in childhood."

One of my early Christmas projects this year was a huge batch of bobbin ornaments. I actually intended to list them on Etsy and try to sell them... but I procrastinated as usual and it just didn't happen. So, I decorated my pretty little pink tree with them! I really love how it turned out. This tree emits the prettiest, soft glow at night. I keep it in my bedroom close to my bed.
All of the bobbin ornaments .. or spool ornaments if I were being particular.. are handpainted by me and then adorned with various ribbons and trims. I also affixed a beautiful, pearly snowflake to the bottom of each ornament as well. You can see it in some of the pictures. Well enough gabbing.. on to the pictures!!!

A Lot Of Numbers – Little Context
The whole social media spectrum is rampant with analytics. No matter what Social Media outlet you are utilizing you will find metrics around every corner screaming in your ear to get your attention. For example…
- How many Twitter Followers do you have?
- How many Facebook Friends?
- How many times are you circled on Google+
- What is your Klout Score?
- How many times has your Page been "Liked?"
- How many Blog Subscribers do you have?
Sadly the above serve as just a few examples. I could actually go on and on with the inordinate number of data points that exist in the social space. However I'm pretty sure that has been written about a few thousand times so I'm going to move in another direction.
Data + Context = Information
In the world of marketing and media metrics matter. It is the best way to measure ROI and therefore it is important that we know how many eyeballs are seeing our work.
The problem is the data in itself is often raw.
For instance, you are brand "X" and you pay 3 million dollars for a Super Bowl ad and you have 5 million people watch the commercial, how many dollars in revenue did you just create?
Answer: You and (they) really have no idea.
Further, even if someone sees the Doritos commercial and then goes out and purchases a bag of Doritos what is to say that wouldn't have happened anyway?
Reality: There are simply too many variables.
Let's Take A Step Back: Brand Y-O-U
Major brands have purpose beyond just creating revenue by doing commercials and other media campaigns. They are attempting to stay front of mind and in front of the consumer. In many ways they are building relationships and this is entirely possible when you have massive budgets for air time.
However, most of us in the Social Media realm are not major brands. We do not have endless budgets and the brand that we are most appropriately representing is ourselves.
If this is the case then the measurements we use need to be different. However, based on my observation this isn't the case.
How Many Followers Do You Have?
It is sort of funny when I talk to someone that isn't a big Social Media user. They ask about follower counts and when I say I have six thousand or so they are blown away. If you ask a Twitter veteran the same question they would say that is nothing.
At this point I know dozens of people with north of 100k followers. While those are huge numbers, what does that mean?
Given the fact that followers can be easily purchased for about a penny a piece, as can likes and most other Social Metrics, I'm beginning to think that the numbers in themselves don't mean all that much.
Further followers can be gained through follow-back tools and metrics can be gamified through "Like This" tactics where someone has to like a page in order to gain access to other content in which they actually sought out.
Perhaps that sheds some light on how someone with 100, 200, or even 500k followers may share something of yours and it doesn't receive a single RT? (This definitely happens)
None of this is to say that great metrics don't mean great things, it is really more to say that the numbers by themselves require context to be given meaning and great numbers only mean great results if numbers are all that are being sought.
Which for most of us isn't the case.
Why I am Here
The other day someone asked me what all the Tweeting had translated to in terms of business success. It was a great question that stopped me in my tracks.
I hadn't joined Twitter to close business or really to sell anything; Except for myself that is. It was my desire to connect with people, information, and ideas that would foster continued growth for me as an individual.
I had always thought that perhaps some day it would amount to something tangible, but I have never directly sought that.
Perhaps I am naive, but I'm here to build relationships.
For me though it isn't a volume game, it is a qualitative effort that cannot be measured by followers, friends, klout, pins, +1's, or any other quantifiable metric.
I believe the value that can come out of just a few really meaningful relationships will greatly supersede the value of a massive following that is mostly disconnected.
Test This Theory: What percentage of your Followers do you speak to regularly (More than 1x a week or month for that matter)
Why Are You Here?
Social Media is different for everyone. Everyone has a purpose, even if that is no purpose.
Nevertheless, if your purpose is just adding numbers than you can count on just average results.
I liken the accumulation of large metrics with buying nice things to impress your neighbors. AKA -> "Keeping Up With the Joneses"
When I grew up my father used to say this to me about that very subject…
"People buy things they don't need, with money they don't have, to impress people that don't care."
In Social Media I re-purpose this to say
"People collect followers they don't need, to accumulate numbers that mean nothing, so they can impress people they don't know"
Greatness is built in both the width and the depth of the connections we have.
So why are you here?

Novel Dopant Solutions Could Extend Life of Cost-Effective Semiconductor Manufacturing
|(Nanowerk News) Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), the world's leading university-research consortium for semiconductors and related technologies, and researchers from Waseda University in Tokyo today announced they have developed the process and materials for precisely controlling both the amount and the position of channel dopants. This advance should help extend the manufacturability of semiconductors beyond conventional doped-channel device technologies. The result is projected to enable near atomic-scale devices and single-dopant devices, helping electronics makers meet the demand for smaller, faster and cheaper chips.
|Today's announcement from the research team reveals the significant influence that the location of individual dopants has on transistor performance. The findings demonstrate the impact of a very small number of dopant atoms on device performance, making the assumption of uniform dopant distribution incorrect. The naturally occurring non-uniform distribution causes significant variability in transistor characteristics, threatening further semiconductor miniaturization.
|"We expect this research to help extend CMOS technologies by 10 years," said Professor Takahiro Shinada of Waseda University, lead investigator for the SRC project. "Our research serves to highlight the improvements in device performance that can be achieved through near atomic-scale control of the doping process, which could realize ultimate-doped devices."
|The researchers are able to fabricate transistors whose channel dopants are introduced one-by-one, revealing that channel dopant location has a strong impact on sub-threshold current variability.
|"The semiconductor industry faces unacceptable variations in device-to-device performance, and a major challenge to control these variations is the random dopant distributions that cause intrinsic fluctuations," said Dan Herr, SRC director of Nanomanufacturing Sciences. "Deterministic doping, per our single-ion implantation, is a key step for the extensibility of existing doped-channel CMOS devices at 16nm and beyond."
|An important observation is that the sub-threshold current is sensitive to the individual dopant location, and the sub-threshold current is always larger when the dopants are located at the drain side rather than at the source side. The team's ability to control the location of individual dopants enhances drain current and, therefore, the potential performance of semiconductors.
|More information about the doping options and placement will be published in a paper titled, "Reliable Single-Atom Doping and Discrete Dopant Effects on Transistor Performance," and presented at IEEE's 2010 International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco on December 6. The paper is co-authored by Takahiro Shinada, Masahiro Hori, Keigo Taira, Akira Komatsubara, Takashi Tanii and Iwao Ohdomari of Waseda University; Yukinori Ono of NTT Basic Research Laboratories; and Tetsuo Endoh of Tohoku University.

There was some protest to the photograph I chose to lead my last post with, so this begins with a picture unarguably adorable. Looking at pictures of cows, being around cows, listening to cows moo, these things all make me indescribably happy. So you can imagine the state I was in the other week when I went to visit Hawthorne Valley Farm with Zoe. (We also took a visit to Zoe's new home and I got a preview of her awesome new digs!) I was doing research for a piece I'm just finishing on the raw milk movement in New York City. Hawthorne Valley Farm, at 2 and a half hours away (if you don't get lost, but that's a different story), is the closest place for New Yorkers to legally buy raw milk. A lot of raw milk is delivered from various upstate farms into the city through the 'raw milk black market' (not making this up) but in the State of New York, the only way to legally purchase it is buying straight from the 20 or so farms with a milk permit.
There are a lot of legal issues, heated emotions, debatable health risks and debatable health benefits behind raw milk. After speaking to many, many people on the issue, I've come to something of a conclusion. I believe you take a risk drinking raw milk comparable to the risk you take eating ground beef from the supermarket. As long as the farm your milk is coming from is clean, small, and humane, the milk you'll get is going to be good. It's a great way to support local dairy farms, as milk is one of the few real money makers left for smaller farms. And, raw milk just tastes incredible. After you've tried it, ultra-pasteurization seems like a criminal thing: milk is not supposed to be watery and bland! It's just not, and that's that. And oh yeah, raw milk makes awesome cheese.

Incredible Edibles: The Perfect Centerpiece for Your Next Gathering
What makes incredible edibles the perfect centerpiece at your next gathering? It's their versatility. Each edible gift basket is beautiful and unique – the perfect complement to a well-appointed table – and every tasty morsel is a treat everyone will adore. Edible gift baskets can be as healthy or sinful as you desire and they spectacularly light up every gathering. There is no better way to start up a fascinating conversation or show how much you care. Incredible edibles make every occasion a special occasion.
Incredible edibles are the perfect addition to any gathering, and the perfect gift for any event. Buy one for your sister who just had a baby, or for your friend who just bought a new house. Bring one to the neighborhood cookout and watch it disappear faster than the barbecued ribs. Are you hosting a bridal or baby shower? Why not make an edible centerpiece the focal point on your table?
Sometimes we are called upon to purchase gifts for difficult people. Maybe they already have everything, or maybe they are someone you don't know particularly well. Maybe you drew the name of a distant relative out of a hat for the holidays, or you need to buy something suitable for your boss or a co-worker. It's these kinds of situations that can easily drive us crazy. What do you buy for a person when you don't know them well? The old stand-by has become gift cards. But why get an impersonal gift card, when a thoughtful alternative like an edible gift is a viable choice?
Buying incredible edibles as a gift shows that you have put a great deal of thought and effort into purchasing the perfect item. Giving a gift card usually means putting in a minimum of thought and effort, but a gift basket or box filled with delectable treats is always a welcome gift. Edible gifts are particularly well received because they can be so easily shared. Each fresh and creative arrangement only improves with being shared by the ones you love. In fact, edible arrangements are a great excuse to have a party!
Purchase an edible arrangement for your next event. They are perfect for:
- Bridal showers
- Baby showers
- Wedding anniversary parties
- Any holiday gathering
- Housewarmings
- Celebrating new jobs
- Wedding receptions
- Family reunions
- Neighborhood barbecues
- Celebrating the end of the Little League season
Some edible arrangements are designed to be packed up and taken along on a trip. Take one with you the next time you go to a football game – they are great tailgating accessories! And if you are expecting overnight guests, make their room especially welcoming by adding an edible gift to it. This will give them the perfect excuse to indulge in a midnight snack. Tired of giving flowers for anniversaries and other occasions like Valentine's Day? Try giving edible gifts instead. Chocolate dipped fruits artfully arranged like a bouquet of flowers are a thoughtful, romantic gift that always says, "I love you," perfectly.
Most edible gift baskets are centered on luscious fresh fruit selections. Most are pre-selected and pre-designed for your convenience, but you may also make special requests if you want something truly original. A wide variety of fruits are typically used in edible arrangements. Among them are:
- Watermelons
- Cantaloupes
- Grapes
- Pineapples
- Strawberries
- Blueberries
- Raspberries
- Blackberries
- Honeydew melons
- Grapefruits
- Kiwis
- Limes
- Lemons
Edible arrangements are really only limited by the imagination of the designers, and they usually have plenty of experience and creativity at their disposal. With their expertise and specialized tools, they are able to craft delectable pieces of fruit into works of art. They may be shaped to look like flowers or butterflies. Sometimes they are cut to resemble the apparatus of a favorite sport or hobby. It is also possible to find edible gift baskets that feature a combination of fresh fruits and fruits that have been dipped in sinfully sweet milk chocolate or bracing dark chocolate. Who can resist the allure of fresh fruits dipped in high quality chocolates?
With their combination of sweetness and surprise, incredible edibles gift baskets are sure to be a favorite with everyone. Have one at your next party, and no one will ever turn down an invitation for one of your events again. Give one as a gift, and your friends and relatives will be effusive in their thanks. Edible gift baskets are the perfect gift for any occasion. Celebrate today by giving the gift of a luscious fruit basket.

Adler angles Giersch Steven Steven interests angles Adler interests 4RTWccAugust 30, 2013
"Money," "fame" and "fast" are dangerous words to have in the same sentence—but they're the three most common terms you'll find in any report involving 1887090 8 Id Of Chapter Ppt Abbasid Decline Presentation Powerpoint Bw8T7g5q.
You know Johnny's story, or the gist, at least. He began as the mystery hero—"The Curious Case of Johnny Football"—and has since become a Heisman-winning, autograph-happy profit machine in the eyes of critics and members of the national media.
That's the basic plot, but there's more to Manziel than an autograph scandal and some Spring Break pictures. There are a lot of tall Johnny Football tales out there, and now that he has nearly completed Harvey Dent's hero-to-villain cycle, it's time to see how well you've been paying attention.
The following is a selection of true and fabricated stories about Johnny Manziel. It's your duty to use your brain and sniff out the fakes from the truths. You're on your honor: No Googling, cheating or phoning a friend.
Giersch Adler angles Steven interests interests angles Adler Steven May the best fan win.
While visiting friends at the University of Texas in Austin this July, Johnny was thrown out of a fraternity party in a shower of obscenities and Natural Light.
Giersch interests Steven Adler angles angles interests Adler Steven Partygoers threw beer cans at the Texas A&M quarterback and told him to get his Aggie keester "the f--- out of here." Johnny quickly followed their advice, and left the scene drenched in booze.
Contrary to popular belief, the state of Texas IS subjugated to a set of governing laws.
There's not many of them, but one of the five statutes Rick Perry keeps around for appearance's sake allowed Johnny to get drunk as a one-armed dockworker after winning the Cotton Bowl in January.
After jackhammering Oklahoma 41-13, the 20-year-old superstar celebrated the win with a giant bottle of Dom Perignon at Avenu Lounge in Dallas. While the club is a 21 and older venue, Johnny was (ambiguously) within his legal rights to drink there due to a fun Texas state law that allows minors to drink alcohol as long as their parents are present.
The owner of the Avenu Lounge claimed Johnny's mother was with him at the club, and therefore, no rules were broken.
Johnny Manziel's great-grandfather was Bobby Joe Manziel—a bantamweight boxer from Lebanon and one hell of a lucky oil driller.
The Manziel family fortune comes from Bobby Joe's oil, which he discovered in East Texas after retiring from professional boxing to become a prospector. Manziel's great-grandfather began his search for black gold with $400 in his pockets—start-up money he borrowed from legendary heavyweight boxer Jack Dempsey.
The investment paid off, and Dempsey would later claim the $400 was the smartest investment he ever made.
Ever get in a stupid drunken fight in college? Yea, you and me both.
They're a great time (not really), that is, until the cops show up and you hand them a fake driver's license.
That's precisely what happened to Johnny Manziel in July of 2012. The redshirt freshman was out with friends when one of his buddies started an altercation with an older man. Manziel attempted to pacify the situation, shoving began and a fight broke out.
Nearby police responded to the scene and broke up the scuffle, at which point Manziel produced a fake Louisiana driver's license. After a search of his wallet, the cops eventually found the 19-year-old's real ID and arrested him for failing to properly identify himself.
While football has taken him to superstardom, Johnny's first love was baseball—and he was filthy good at it.
It began in Little League, where Johnny was a home run-hitting demigod.
Its been said that he would hit the ball out of the park with such consistency, that the league raised the outfield fences in order to protect the cars parked on the other side from Johnny's homers, which had broken several windshields.
After being arrested in 2012 for failing to properly identify himself to a police officer, Johnny was suspended for the entire 2012 season by Texas A&M.
Johnny appealed the suspension, and the school eventually overturned their verdict. Things could've turned out quite differently, however.
An anonymous source within the Texas A&M community has claimed that Johnny came within five days of transferring out of College Station. Had the suspension been upheld, the source alleges, the Aggies quarterback would've transferred to a different school.
Dealing with instant fame isn't easy.
Johnny used to be able to run home from Kyle Field after home games without anyone noticing him, but now he's escorted back to his abode—only a few short blocks away—in a squad car.
Managing those levels of expectations aren't easy, and that's part of the reason the university (along with his parents) convinced Johnny to see a therapist after the 2012-13 season. Johnny's therapist told him to get off Twitter and to regulate his autograph signing to a half hour a week.
He stopped seeing the therapist after two sessions.
Cell phones: Always operational when mom calls, but never work after a night at the Tequileria.
Johnny knows the visceral panic—the icy fear that dumps down your back when you wake up hungover and late as sin to an important function.
The particular incident I refer to occurred this July, when the Heisman Trophy winner missed early morning meetings at the Manning Passing Camp. He had been out late the night before, and some believed a brutish hangover had caused him to skip out on his obligations.
Johnny claimed he overslept because his phone had "died," and ended up leaving the camp early.
An avid golfer, Johnny and his father Paul have been hitting the links together since the younger Manziel could grip a club.
Johnny has a natural talent for golf—driving the cart, however, wasn't his forte as a child.
Johnny was eight years old when his father told him he could drive the first few holes at Tyler's Hollytree Country Club. Disaster soon struck, however, when Johnny drove ahead to find his father's tee shot and began chasing ducks near a water hazard by the second hole.
Steven Giersch angles Steven Adler interests interests angles Adler He lost control and wound up submerging half of the cart in the man-made pond, thus reinforcing the notion that hunting game on a golf course is a bad idea.
Johnny wasn't allowed to play football early in life.
Baseball and golf were fine, but parents kept him out of Pop Warner leagues for fear of his safety. Finally, at the age of 8 (such a long time), they consented to let him play ball.com Dixie Amazon Diff Conrad 'rent Bridges Strokes Bain Todd RaFd8qaxw
In sixth grade, Johnny joined the Tyler Hurricanes, and was immediately the "best athlete on the field." His talent on the field earned him the nickname "Johnny Hurricane," and the rest is paparazzi, broken records and history, as they say.
Or has Batman-like qualities.
Johnny was in Cabo for Spring Break this March—doing Johnny Football things—when several spring breakers tweeted that they saw the Heisman Trophy winner slide down a tall fire escape ladder at an apartment complex on the beach.
According to the tweets, Manziel wrapped his hands "in shirts," grabbed the side of the ladder and dropped/slid down forty or so feet from the fourth floor of the complex to the ground.
Only on Spring Break.
Johnny made it rain—specifically, with Monopoly money.
While visiting a hospital in Connecticut in January, Manziel posed with a young fan and flashed a little fake cash toward the camera.
Steven Adler angles Giersch angles Adler interests interests Steven The image was a joke aimed at his detractors, who had eviscerated him earlier in the week for tweeting a picture of him and his friends showing off their casino winnings.
Drumroll please...
1. True: Johnny was Intel Generation Graphics Qe Guide Page Hd 1st 69 ci 5Ex5qA of a Texas fraternity party.
2. True: Manziel did go to Avenu Lounge and party with Dom Perignon (and his mom, allegedly) after the Cotton Bowl.

Policies, procedures and job descriptions: Maintaining a good fit
Even though January is a few months off, many of us think of September as the start of the new year. Along with back-to-school shopping, this is a good time to make sure your organization has everything it needs for a fresh start after summer vacations. Children and organizations both grow over time; just as children outgrow clothes, organizations outgrow policies, procedures and job descriptions. The traditional pencil case of my youth needed new technology each school year—pencils, erasers (especially erasers), paper and, eventually, a protractor and compass. For organizations, technology that once worked well may no longer be up to the job.

What strawberries teach us about organizational excellence
In French markets, strawberries have different varietal names and different flavours—some sweeter, some tarter, some richer. In North America, they are just strawberries. I recently set out to discover just what those strawberries are that I eat in the spring and summer months. Along the way, I realized that the principles followed by the strawberry industry apply to all organizations.
Communicating change to fellow humans
Change scares most people. This is true even if the change is supposed to make their lives better, largely because humans approach change from a risk perspective more often than a benefits perspective. They are more concerned with what can go wrong, rather than what can go right. So when it comes to organizational change, internal communication has to be done right to avert disaster.
Taking care of business: Building a sound model that fits
Articulating an organization's business model is not an everyday occurrence. Most days everyone is too busy doing the doing. Every organization has a business model, regardless of whether the organization is a company, a non-profit or a government program. Once your organization has identified the business that it is in, it's important to flesh out the model to ensure that all the elements are in place to support success.

I decided to go with China Glaze Highlight of My Summer as a base, which is one of my favorite polishes. I love this color because it's what I describe as a neon pastel. It's almost like a very bright mint, but in some light it's more yellow-toned and looked more neon green. Either way, it's bright and gorgeous!
I also got a mini of a Rainbow Honey polish not too long ago called Poffin Party. This has since been released as a full size polish included in their limited edition set for the month of April. I'm so glad a full size is now available because it's amazing! It's filled with colorful glitter - mostly circles among some pink squares.
I love this combination! Poffin Party almost reminds me of Funfetti cupcakes and sprinkles with the circular glitter. The circles are quite large and are green, yellow, orange, and pink. There are also some smaller circles in light blue and a light spring green. The base even has some shimmery flecks in it which made all of my nails look sparkly! Highlight of My Summer alone is just a creme with no shimmer.

A simple model is developed here to predict the pressure drop and discharge coefficient for incompressible flow through orifices with length-to-diameter ratio greater than zero (orifice tubes) over wide ranges of Reynolds number. The pressure drop for flow through orifice tubes is represented as two pressure drops in series; namely, a pressure drop for flow through a sharp-edged orifice in series with a pressure drop for developing flow in a straight length of tube. Both of these pressure drop terms are represented in the model using generally accepted correlations and experimental data for developing flows and sharp-edged orifice flow. We show agreement between this simple model and our numerical analysis of laminar orifice flow with length-to-diameter ratio up to 15 and for Reynolds number up to 150. Agreement is also shown between the series pressure drop representation and experimental data over wider ranges of Reynolds number. Not only is the present work useful as a design correlation for equipment relying on flow through orifice tubes but it helps to explain some of the difficulties that previous authors have encountered when comparing experimental observation and available theories.

Thematic Introduction:
Today we've come to the eighth message in a series of ten titled, "The Lies of Satan". Today's lie is this: "There is more than one way to heaven."
Our sermon reading comes from John, chapter 14. These words were spoken by Jesus to His followers on the night He was arrested, the night before He was crucified to death.
John 14:1-6 (ESV)
14 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. 4 And you know the way to where I am going." 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
The Bible is absolutely clear about this point. There is only ONE way to heaven, and that is through the Savior that God the Father sent, Jesus Christ.
Some people may try to muddy the water a bit when it comes to this passage. They may say, "You have to take the passage in context. Jesus had just told them that He was leaving and they were freaking out! He's not making a broad statement that no other religions are valid, He's just comforting His disciples."
But all you have to do is read the rest of verse six. Not only does Jesus state what he's saying in the positive, He also re-states it in the negative. He says, "I'm the way" (positive) and then He restates it "No one comes to the Father except through me" (negative).
You might say the same thing when giving someone directions to a town. Take Maple Road, it's the way . Don't take any other roads, because there aren't any other roads that go through that town.
It's pretty simple. And John 14:6 isn't the only passage in the Bible that says that Jesus is the only way to heaven. There's also passages like...
" 11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:11-12 ESV).▬
" 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also" (1 John 2:23 NIV).
"5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all..." (1 Timothy 2:5-6a ESV).
There is only one mediator between God the Father and the human race, one go-between, and that is Jesus Christ. There is only one way to heaven.
The Bible teaches that ever since Adam and Eve sinned, people have been born sinful and thus disqualified from living beside God in heaven. IF sinners could somehow earn heaven, then there would be many different paths to heaven. Your path of good works would be different than mine. Your neighbor's path would be different than ours, an so on. But the Bible is clear on this point also. Good deeds simply can't erase past sins.
" 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin" (Romans 3:20 NIV).Again, if heaven could be earned, there would be different ways to get to heaven. But if salvation is a gift from God, given through Jesus, then there is only one way to heaven. And that's exactly what the Bible says salvation is, a gift.
" 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV).▬
It seems to me that this lie of Satan only works on people who have stopped reading their Bibles. This lie is also easier to accept if you've already absorbed the lie that we can actually earn our way to God. If I can earn my way to God, what do I need Jesus for?
May God keep us from ever drifting away from the sure teaching of salvation through faith in Christ alone. May God help us never to lean on our own works as a way of trying to reach Him, but instead trust in the Lord's promise and in His gift.
Now, there's a little bit of static that comes along with this lie from Satan. And maybe that's why Satan likes to use this lie - not so much to tear Christians away from Christ but more to make Christians look arrogant to other people. If Christians are seen as arrogant, then people won't enter into conversations with them in the same way. They'll enter with their guard up.
Plenty of people think it's just plain arrogant to claim that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. All the other religions of the world are wrong? Christianity is the only one that got it right? That sounds arrogant in their ears.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there aren't arrogant Christians. There certainly are, and we all need to pray for a spirit of compassion, understanding and love when it comes to sharing the message of Christ. But to put it plainly, the claim that Christ is the only way to heaven isn't arrogant in itself, it's just a truth claim.
Think about it like this. Something is wrong with your car. You take it to a garage where two mechanics have a chance to look at it. One says, "It's your fuel line. It's plugged up and not letting gas get to the engine properly." The other says, "It's your spark plugs, they're corroded and not firing properly." Are these arrogant statements? Is one of these mechanics more arrogant than the other? No. They simply hold different beliefs. Holding something to be true is not inherently arrogant. So don't let the Devil make you feel guilty for sticking to your guns, holding onto your beliefs, especially when it comes to the Gospel of Christ.
Another bit of static that comes with this lie from Satan attaches itself to God Himself. This bit of static goes like this, "What about all those other people who just don't believe in the God of the Bible? They're not going to heaven just because they don't believe something? That's just plain mean."
But when you look at what the Bible says about God, He's not mean. He's anything but mean.
" 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:3-4 ESV).The truth of the matter is that God's message of salvation is incredibly inclusive. God holds out salvation through Christ to every sinner. But there's only ONE way to receive this salvation - through the Savior that God provided.
If you think about it, it's actually extremely arrogant for sinners to demand heaven on their own terms. It's as if the lifeguard holds out the life preserver to a drowning man only to hear, "Excuse me? That's a red preserver, I want a blue one."
Satan appeals to man's huge ego with this lie that there is more than one way to heaven. If you think about it, this lie from Satan says more than the surface tells. It really isn't just saying that there is more than one way to heaven, you know, like maybe there's two or three ways. The underlying implication is that there are MANY ways to heaven, and MY own way, whatever it might be, is certainly valid.
In the end, Satan's lie claims that God's Word is wrong. And when the lie of "many paths to God" is accepted by sinners, it leads people to devalue the Word of God. The message of Christ isn't all that important in a sea of different ways to reach God. And that's exactly what Satan wants. He wants us to devalue God's clear message. That way we'll discard the truth for a lie, and reject both God's plan of salvation and God's plan for our earthly life.
And here's the irony of the whole situation, if it weren't for God's love, there wouldn't be ANY way for sinners like us to reach heaven. We're all born sinful, and sinners can't enter heaven. But through Christ Jesus a new way is opened up for us. Like Jesus said,
" 13 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few" (Matthew 7:13-14 ESV).Through the Gospel of Christ's sacrifice in our place, we have found the narrow way. The Holy Spirit placed our feet on this path when He worked faith in our hearts. May God keep us on this singular path, this only sure path, until we reach the promised land of heaven. Amen.
The peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Located in the West End, London restaurant The Ivy first opened it's doors in 1917. Ever since then it's been known as one of London's most iconic restaurants, notoriously difficult to get a reservation, often having to book months in advance.
It was Adam's birthday last weekend, and when trying to think of where to take him, The Ivy was a no brainer. Having been twice before, Adam often tells me it's his favourite restaurant. I was a bit unorganised this year due to having Max but I was relieved when I called a few weeks ago and managed to get a table for lunch.
We had a lovely corner table, sitting by the beautiful stained glass windows that surround the restaurants. We started with a few cocktails that were made for us at the gorgeous bar that sits in the centre of the restaurant.
With 18 starters on the menu, all as tempting as each other, we found it really difficult to pick. In the end we picked our top 3 and decided to share. We went for the 'Bang Bang Chicken with peanuts and chilli' from the classics section, the 'Popcorn Shrimp with chipotle mayonnaise' and the 'Sticky Ribs', both from the Asian Graze section. We made a good choice and all 3 were divine. The Sticky Ribs were so succulent and the meat just fell off the bones and the Bang Bang Chicken had a real kick to it.
Adam didn't even need to look at the main courses on offer. The whole reason he loves The Ivy so much is because, in his words, it's the where they serve the best burger he's ever eaten. Served with skinny chips and dill relish, his mind was firmly made up. Again I really struggled to pick just one dish as they all sounded amazing, but in the end I went for the 'Barbecue Spiced Chicken with black bean salsa'. The chicken was so tender and just melted in your mouth, and the sauce was delicious, a real blend of barbecue, chilli and garlic.
To be honest neither of us had room for Dessert, but when does anyone let that stop them? Adam went for the 'Burnt Banana and Butterscotch Tarte Tatin with a Rum & Raisin Ice Cream' and I went for the 'Malted Milk and Honeycomb Delice with Caramel and Cocoa'. We usually share desserts but I'm not a big fan of banana so Adam had that one to himself, and I'm informed it was lovely. My delice was served with pieces of caramel, brownie and honeycomb and was excellent.
The meal came to a total of £156 for 3 courses, 4 cocktails and the service charge (this obviously would have been cheaper if we didn't have the cocktails or 3 starters between us but everyone deserves a treat every now and then don't they)?
Whilst The Ivy doesn't have a Michelin Star, we can't see why it hasn't. The service was outstanding, very attentive without being too pushy and the food was faultless. I'm sure we'll be returning again in the very near future as Adam can't wait to get his hands on that burger again.

Vince Carter's 39-year-old body still feels good enough to allow him to pull off the occasional highlight-reel dunk, and he's not ready to call it a career just yet.
VC is followed by Manu Ginobili, Jason Terry, Paul Pierce and Dirk Nowitzki as the oldest players in the NBA this season.
These old men: Carter, near 40, leads NBA's elder statesmen (from @AP) https://t.co/UknHqcbc2Y
— Brian Mahoney (@briancmahoney) November 30, 2016
These vets have learned to compensate for their vastly reduced athleticism.
Per the AP:
"That's how I was able to stay around this long, is just, I learned the game," Carter said. "Not being able to play. Everybody can play basketball, but learning the ins and outs of the game is what has kept me around."
Carter acknowledges tiring of the endless "play the right way" mantra preached at Chapel Hill, but now he lives it. He can't just jump over players like he did to Frederic Weis in the 2000 Olympics , though he quickly earned the trust of first-time coach David Fizdale, who had Carter on the floor defending 21-year-old Andrew Wiggins to spark the Grizzlies' comeback victory over Minnesota in their season opener.
And how many more (seasons) after this? […] "I don't know yet," he said. "I'm still flying. It's not time yet."
