Wedding Planning Questionnaire
The wedding planning questionnaire is constructed by wedding planners for the purpose of gaining information regarding the wedding concerned. Such a questionnaire needs to be filled out by both the bride and groom and their respective families. It helps make the process easier in understanding what exactly the concerned families want and as a result the wedding planner is able to gain particular insight and direction necessary for planning.
Such a template need not have any specific theme; however, it is important that the layout is appropriate for weddings as it will reflect the wedding planner and the company's ability to handle the decorative aspect of the wedding. The wedding planning questionnaire must ask specific questions related to the concerned wedding and also general questions that need to be addressed for all kinds of ceremonies.
You can Download the Wedding Planning Questionnaire, customize it according to your needs and Print. Wedding Planning Questionnaire is either in MS Word and Editable PDF.

The Sexy Vegan (aka Brian Patton) never lets me down. Ever. His recipes are always super tasty and fun and full of flavor, and this one is no exception. Here, he created a recipe that captures the flavors of Buffalo "wings" using breaded cauliflower, and the results are fabulous. When I lived in LA, I adored the Buffalo Cauliflower at a restaurant called Mohawk Bend. With this recipe, I can make them at home (and they're even better!). And you can, too. Here's what you need to know, with a link at the bottom with Brian walking you through all of the steps via his radio show.
Preheat your oven to its highest setting (in the 500 range). Cut some cauliflower into florets. Set up two bowls for your breading station. One will contain a dry mixture comprised of garbanzo bean flour (1 to 2 cups, depending on how much cauliflower you've got going), seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika. The other bowl will be your wet mixture, made of equal parts garbanzo bean flour and water (about 1-1/2 cups of each, so that the mixture is a little thinner than pancake batter), seasoned with a few dashes of Frank's Red Hot sauce.
Now you're going to create a breading assembly line. Dredge your cauliflower in the dry flour, then the wet mixture, letting any excess drip off before rolling it back into the dry mixture. When coated, place each floret on a rimmed baking sheet lined with either a Silpat or parchment paper, making sure that the florets aren't touching each other. Once you've completed this step, Brian calls for a spray of oil over the florets to help them crisp up. While an excellent idea, I forgot to do it this time around and they turned out just fine, so if you're avoiding oil, you can skip this step on purpose. If not, go ahead and do it because it does add a nice level of crispiness to them.
Pop the sheet into the oven for about 20 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and the outside browned in spots. While they cook, you're going to make the Buffalo sauce to coat the florets with, as well as a dip for dunking. The dip is a mixture of Tofutti sour cream and Vegenaise in equal parts, flavored with onion powder, garlic powder, celery seeds, lemon juice and paprika. If you're in a hurry, you can substitute bottled vegan ranch dressing. Your dip will look like this:
To make the Buffalo sauce, melt some vegan butter gently over low heat. Do not boil or bring to a simmer. Once melted, add an equal amount of Frank's Red Hot sauce and whisk. Remove from the heat and set aside. Once cooked, pull your cauliflower out of the oven and toss with the buffalo sauce to coat. At this point, you're good to go. What I did, though, is toss some mixed greens with the dip for a little side salad, and boy was it tasty!
Here is the fabulous Sexy Vegan himself, walking you through it:
Enjoy! xo

J and I are just back from our marvelous pre-wedding trip in Thailand. I'll be telling you all about it soon, but today's post is for Radi Cafe, our last stop in Bangkok before coming back to Hong Kong yesterday. Radi Cafe is a cozy cupcake cafe in Thong Lo, Bangkok, owned by charming Fin, the master baker of all the delicacies served there. I told her we would be visiting, so she was waiting for us when we arrived.
Fin's cupcakes were truly delicious, and so was the coffee, which comes from Fin's parents own coffee plantation in northern Thailand! How cool :) It's a strong Arabica coffee, which they call aRADIca :D
I was so happy to get to see Fin and chit chat with her during our visit, she's probably one of the nicest and prettiest girls in Thailand!
One thing I loved about Bangkok is it's filled up with cafes serving all kinds of sweet treats. And even though cozy cafes abound in Thailand's capital, Radi Cafe is one not to be missed :)

I make and sell poppy products throughout the year and make a donation to The Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal from each sale. This year things are a little different in that I have now branched out into wholesale and will be supplying some very reputable establishments in the process! The order I am currently most chuffed about is National Army Museum who will be stocking my Remembrance Poppy Corsage in their gift shop from this week, right next to the RBL enamel lapel pin!
My step up to wholesale has necessitated a review of my retail prices and in the case of the poppy range this means an increase in the donation I make too. I will now donate £1.50 from the sale of the Remembrance Poppy Corsage, £1 from each Tiny Poppy Pin, 75p from the single hair clips as well as donations from limited edition products such as my covered button jewellery range.
The Royal British Legion works to provide support to serving members of the armed forces, veterans of all ages and their families. The wearing of a poppy is a very personal statement with the symbol meaning different things to many different people. There are now so many fantastic designers now making contemporary, fashionable poppies to suit all tastes that we have the opportunity to make our statement more personal than ever.
As always you can follow our fundraising progress from my 2012 poppy collection by
keeping an eye on our Facebook page and Twitter feed. In 2011 we raised
£180 for the appeal - I hope this year will be even better!

So many people want to display a vibrant permanent red shade but often find this particular colour a difficult one to achieve for a whole variety of reasons.
The biggest problem with red hair colourants (in my view) is a lack of understanding as to the level of depth in the actual colourant. If a red shade uses a brown as its base (such as deep auburns and mahogany's) and is subsequently applied to hair that is already fairly brunette the result will be much darker than expected
Remember, red is a tone not a base – meaning the more base which is presented in the hair (or added to it) the darker it will become and the less the (red) tone will be displayed.
Remember, red is a tone not a base – meaning the more base which is presented in the hair (or added to it) the darker it will become and the less the (red) tone will be displayed.
The Perfect Base for Red Hair Colouring
In order to achieve a true vibrant red shade (in a natural brunette) the base colour must (initially) be a medium blonde or copper. This will allow for the red pigments to fill the inside of the hair and display the colour 100% accurately.
The key to retaining a good redhead shade is to try to avoid pre lightening with traditional bleaches (designed for blonde results) and use only non-ammonia products to lift up the base.
In addition, very bleached or pale hair should always be pre-pigmented before applying a permanent red shade. Pre Pigmenting will fill the empty hair with additional red colour molecules and these pigments can form a layer underneath the permanent shade (applied) which not only reduces fading but also add to the vibrancy of the overall shade.
The Florence Welch Red Shade
The Florence Welch shade is a really popular example of the 'vibrant redhead'. Florence's colour is prone to changing in intensity from being a more muted auburn to a fiery pure red. This demonstrates that Florence (herself) has issues with both getting the vibrancy right in her colour and finding a shade which doesn't slip out too aggressively during washing.
I would imagine that Florence's natural base is a medium blonde to auburn, for this reason she would be able to apply a colourant directly onto her hair without prior stripping. However, for the purposes of this how-to I am explaining how to achieve the shade on darker light to mid brunette bases or for those with lighter (natural) bases who have been previously colouring to achieve the look.
You will need
- · Decolour Remover or Stripper (depending on camouflaging shade desired)
- · Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Colour Fiery Red - 6.60
- · Colour Restore Deep Red (if using Decolour Remover)
Step 1 – Removing or Stripping
Remember, this how to is designed for brunettes (who wish to achieve a vibrant red) or lighter bases who have overlaid previous red colourants and achieved a darker than expected result.
Step 1 - For natural and artificially coloured dark blondes to brunettes
The key is to firstly strip the hair of both base shade and artificial colour molecules. In order to obtain a true vibrant blanket of red you must start with an even lighter canvas that will display the colour effectively. I've outlined my step by step instructions for stripping hair colour below, or you can watch my tutorial.
To strip the hair
· Firstly wash several times and towel dry. Comb the hair smooth and make sure it's parted correctly.
· Now mix the Decolour Stripper as instructed and apply firstly to any areas which appear heavy or dark. These will typically be the mid-lengths and ends. Once you have applied to these darker areas leave for 10 minutes.
· After 10 minutes, apply the remainder of the Decolour Stripper to the damp hair and comb through evenly from roots to tips, the hair should be damp as this will enable the stripper crème to work evenly throughout the hair.
· Once the crème is combed through the damp hair (as you would a conditioner) leave to develop for a further 20 minutes and proceed to rinsing and applying the conclude balm.
· After stripping you should notice your hair is a lightened coppery shade. This is good as you now have a base on to which to apply the Fiery Red hair colour.
Step 1 - For natural but previously artificially coloured medium blonde shades
Repeat the above steps using Decolour Remover, but ensure you give a full development (once the crème is applied throughout the hair) of 60 minutes. A full development of remover will ensure all the artificial colour molecules are eradicated and the natural (light) base is exposed.
After using Decolour Remover you cannot apply a peroxide based shade for 7 days. Therefore, to achieve your desired 'Redhead' effect, follow the removal immediately with an application of Colour Restore Deep Red. This will create a short term 'redhead' result and will also act as a pre-pigment.
After 7 days (or so) I would recommend applying a second Colour Restore Deep Red application (to further pre-pigment the hair) and then proceed to applying the permanent colourant as outlined below.
Step 2 – Applying your permanent redhead shade
Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color Fiery Red 6.60 would be my recommendation for achieving the Florence Welch shade at home.
REMEMBER: If you have used Decolour Stripper to create your new canvas you can proceed to the colour step immediately, however if you have used Decolour Remover (to expose a natural lighter base), please ensure you immediately re-colour with Colour Restore Deep Red (as outlined above) and wait 7 days before applying this permanent colour.
REMEMBER: If you have used Decolour Stripper to create your new canvas you can proceed to the colour step immediately, however if you have used Decolour Remover (to expose a natural lighter base), please ensure you immediately re-colour with Colour Restore Deep Red (as outlined above) and wait 7 days before applying this permanent colour.
I would recommend you apply the Fiery Red shade to slightly damp (non-dry) hair as this will ensure the colourant goes onto the hair smoothly.
When applying, use a tangle comb and work the colourant evenly into the hair and develop for the instructed development time.
Step 3 – Maintaining a vibrant red shade
It's crucial to maintain red shades with appropriate haircare products. Using a red enhancing shampoo will ensure the hair is cleansed but the artificial red colour molecule is not depleted in the hair by the regular washing. I would recommend using 'John Freida Radiant Red' shampoo as your home care solution for this purpose. It is also worth giving your hair a weekly (or bi monthly) 'Colour Restore Deep Red' infusion to retain the overall red shade and vibrancy.
Step 4 – Regrowth Application
If you are a natural brunette, I would recommend a monthly (to 5 weekly) re-growth application of the Garnier Ultra Colour Fiery Red 6.60, as soon as the hair demonstrates a very small amount of re-growth close to the scalp. Scalp heat will accelerate the strength of peroxide and offer more of a lift in the base shade. If the dark roots are allowed to grow through too much, this scalp heat will be less effective and not lift the overall base shade to a level which will display red vibrancy. Therefore, subsequent red applications may start appearing too dark at the top sections as the hair grows.
Whenever you conduct the 'redhead' re-growth application, always apply with a tint bowl and brush to the new growth only. This will ensure precision of application. Try to keep your head as warm as possible and this will also aid lifting of the base shade and a good overall display of the red colour.
Do not pour the entire contents of the colourant over the head, as you will subject the previously coloured hair to unwanted chemical treatment. However, 10 minutes before the end of the regrowth development, wet a tangle comb and begin working that root colour through to the mid-lengths and ends. This will ensure the old hair colour is refreshed and the red shade remains fully vibrant.

My Dearest Hope,
It has been brought to my attention (through my angels) that you may wish to know the following mythical story. It begins in the Island of Atlantis. The government there is not the same as we have come to know as governments today. Queens, Priestesses, and Lords were titles of the greatest honor and the people who held those titles were greatly loved and respected by all individuals.
The title "Queen" belonged to a lineage of women who possessed great powers to influence certain aspects of life on the island. Harvest, wealth, reproduction and knowledge are some of the "aspects" that Atlantean's held so dear. Queens had long lineages and had been re-entering life on earth since the 1950's. In the third dimension (the present energy on earth) reincarnation can happen, but there are rules that must be adhered to. I need to explain that when a Queen or Lord is reincarnated on earth, they only get to bring knowledge with them. Re-incarnates are also allowed to design or set up hints or clues regarding their identity and purpose for this lifetime.
I believe you are a reincarnated Queen from Atlantis. It is no coincidence your name "the solitary one of hope" is a clue that you alone can bring back the idea of justice and power to humanity. Because you suffered an innocent death, you possess power, and you command the respect of everyone who remembers you.
Your picture on Twitter jarred your legend's memory, and although you first interpreted it a disrespect and bad manners, I think the crowd yelled "boo Zika" or "Bora Sitka" from the memory when their great queen (you) ruled with justice and respect. I also think the yells have perpetuated themselves and even if the crowd wanted to stop, it would be difficult to do so.
Queen Sitka or Zitka (pronounced "zika") was one of the most famous Queens of Atlantis in that she governed reproduction and fertility. Her powers were so great, weak people (mostly men) feared them. Women empowered her, and she was a very fair and just queen. When she was executed because of people's misunderstanding, she vowed to return one day more powerful and striking than ever before.
I think the name "Zika" and the fact it is related to reproduction was too coincidental to ignore.
The Zika virus connected to reproduction is a very powerful virus that commands respect and may leave death (of the innocent) in its wake. Some definitions you are familiar with are below.
Zika virus /ˈziːkə, ˈzɪkə/ (ZIKV) is a member of the virus family Flaviviridae and the genus Flavivirus, transmitted by daytime-active Aedes mosquitoes, such as A. aegypti and A. albopictus. Its name comes from the Zika Forest of Uganda
The Zika virus is a mosquito-transmitted infection related to dengue, yellow fever, and West Nile virus. Although it was discovered in the Zika forest in Uganda in 1947 and is common in Africa and Asia, it did not begin spreading widely in the Western Hemisphere until last May, when an outbreak occurred in Brazil.
The Sitka spruce also has a commanding presence; it is a large coniferous evergreen tree growing to almost 100 m tall, and with a trunk diameter at breast height that can exceed 5 m.
I wanted to write you a little bit about the impressions I had to assure you that the "boo" is meant to be "bora" a title I cannot explain yet. But the memory of coliseums filled with people yelling their praises for you seems to have found its way back to you. And although you have done a great job tolerating the "booing", I wondered if you had transformed the energy into a positive cheer that may empower you and enlighten your path during your Olympic journey.
Pease know the world watches you with awe and respect.
This story was "told" to me so I could possibly shed some light upon recent events. It's just a story, but the urging for me to tell you was very prominent. My intention is to help you, not distract you. You are a world class soccer player, so I know you have a handle on the "boos".
I enjoy watching you play and commend your performance.
Carol Ann Evans
Hello Hope,
I received further instruction from my angels and I'm sharing it here.
First, Lemuria was another island in the Pacific Ocean and it existed with Atlantis. While Atlantis was considered the supreme island of technology and knowledge, Lemuria was extremely loving and kind. Atlantians eventually destroyed themselves because their power got away from them and they could no longer control it. Lemurians were always a kind and understanding people and their island was located close enough to Atlantis for some Atlantians to escape and seek shelter at Lemuria. After Atlantis's destruction (which eventually included Lemuria), many people swam to South America (specifically Brazil) and settled there. We are talking thousands of years and therefore a deep genealogy of mostly Lemurians.
By the way, the Lemurians knew about you and they loved your kind attitude towards all people. Although Brazil thinks they are upset about the Zika virus and your post, I think they are smart enough to understand you were simply researching all the facets of this insect and resulting virus. If you stop and think about the nature of Brazil, they seem to be a dancing and light party kind of people. I think Brazil doesn't waste time with holding grudges. Again, I truly think that the cheer has taken on a life of its own and I know it is somehow to praise you.
Asking about the "bora" word. I was told that the Aurora Borealis was your crown.
Pretty amazing to think you were such a powerful queen to have a light show as your crown! By the way, I do not know where this stuff comes from, but it is a fascinating story and I will write everything I am told to.
Also, I was specifically told to tell you to "reach beyond the box", whatever that means. If I had to interpret it, I'd say that the statement means you have more power and strength you haven't even tapped into yet.
So now you have some pieces to your queen status, the Lemurians (now Brazilians) that recognize you and that you once again command stadiums of people who don't even know they are paying you respect and honor with each chant.
I asked about the "solitary giver of hope" and my angels tell me that you succeed with each game of soccer you play. It is amazing to think you give hope to millions of people simply by playing soccer, but you do.
Misunderstanding is a part of your life you will have it presented to you over and over again. It is an energy that seems surround you. I believe it can be overwhelming at times. I urge you to recognize it and quickly let it go. I believe you are an extremely professional woman and everyone around this city agrees. Please know that USA stands behind you and I hope you use some of that energy when you need it most.
Please stay focused (as you always do) and enjoy your time in Brazil. I wish you and the team great success and hope you will play to the best of your ability.
Sincerely and until next time I'm told to write something,
Carol Ann Evans
Hello Hope,
I was going to tell you more about your story, but since you've been suspended, I think you should quit and start that family you have wanted. Let the world see how well they do without you! You have given this world hope and you have entertained it long enough. Most of the world is in shock at the pure injustice of your situation. What does Megan Rampinoe have to prove?? Except the fact she has been a substandard soccer player her entire career! Maybe its her way to get some of the lime light. Let the soccer team go. I feel this whole Rio situation has been nothing but controversial publicity. By the way, you are entitled to free speech. I wonder what is going on behind the scenes that the soccer league wants attention diverted from it and focused on you!
Well, my lady, you are a powerful queen amongst peasants (including me). Please never forget who you are! Always remember you have power beyond comprehension. That's why you are not always understood. Please take this time to re-think why you are here. Perhaps to teach your children and support them on their journey? Maybe you need some alone time with your husband or yourself?? Rediscover your powers.
BEWARE because I can not control who reads this.
If you ever want to write, contact me by email and we can write privately.
Good Luck, Hope. For whatever you decide is the right thing for you. Take Care.

The mission behind Holmes Communities is to create a series of low-impact developments that integrate sustainable features while maintaining a healthy balance with the surrounding environment. That is why we have chosen to be the first rain garden community in Edmonton. Elaborate rain gardens composed of native plants will be integrated into the cul-de-sac. The rain gardens not only beautify the community, but act as a sponge to capture the storm water and the pollutants it carries. During storms, the rain gardens assist with preventing soil erosion and flooding.
Creekside Ravine is a Holmes Communities' project that is aptly named as it overlooks the Wedgwood Ravine, with 10 of its 16 lots directly backing onto the Environmental Reserve. Walking trails weave through the ravine and provide residents the perfect opportunity to live a natural lifestyle.
Inspired by the ravine, our architects have integrated Autumn Gold Boulders as a design feature. These rocks will aid in melding the community though their use in the entryway signage, house numbering and rain gardens. In addition to the three rain gardens, every home site will have native flowers and shrubs planted around the perimeter of the cul-de-sac.
Holmes Communities is the residential real estate development division of The Holmes Group. Mike's vision is to be the global leader in promoting quality residential construction and developing environmentally sustainable neighbourhoods as well as consistently being the frontrunner in raising industry standards.
This will be accomplished through the use of high performance home and community infrastructure programs, such as:

The Stanford players and coaches have been saying all the right things all week long -- last year's game in South Bend has no relevance to Saturday's game against Notre Dame -- but I doubt that you'll be able to find a fan who shares that feeling.
You remember how things went. Stanford had a three-point lead late in the fourth quarter before two highly questionable flags flew in favor of the Irish -- one for unnecessary roughness, the other for pass interference -- and aided an Irish drive which ended in a game-tying field goal. After Notre Dame scored a touchdown on the opening possession of overtime, Stanford's Stepfan Taylor appeared to match that score -- twice! -- but the officials didn't agree. Lest you think this is sour grapes, remember that virtually everyone in the sports world, except those wearing Blue and Gold, believed that Taylor should have been awarded at least one of those touchdowns. Now, that doesn't mean Stanford would've won the game, it only means they would've had an opportunity to kick an extra point to tie the game and extend overtime. Even so, the loss was bitter at the time, and the ensuing thirteen months haven't done much to alleviate the feeling of injustice.

Much has been written about the shocking events that toppled the Romanovs so it's a brave author who places his fictional narrator at the heart of the Tsar's household in the last years before the Russian revolution. John Boyne seems to specialise in writing fiction that is set in a very specific place and time, and I really enjoyed his novel "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas" in spite of the problems with authenticity which will gnaw away at any readers not willing to suspend their disbelief; it is the sheer simplicity of that work that makes it such a success but the same cannot be said of "The House of Special Purpose".
The narrator is Georgy Jachmenev, who, when the story begins is a fifteen years old peasant. Georgy saves the life of a member of the Russian royal family, however, in doing so he also betrays his best friend. His reward for his heroic act is to join the royal household, as bodyguard and companion to eleven year old Alexei, the Tsar's son; this means leaving his family and going to live in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. Despite hostility from some of the other guards, Georgy starts to settle into his new life but gradually he becomes aware of the rumblings of discontent in some parts of society; the Tsar is forced to take action and orders Georgy to accompany him on a doomed train ride. Georgy knows that all is not well but couldn't for a moment imagine what will happen next.
The story is told as a series of flashbacks but not chronologically; this means that the story is revealed in random fragments, a bit like pulling jigsaw pieces from a bag and gradually putting together the picture. It's is the novel's saving grace that the story is told in this way because the utterly ridiculous "secret" of the story, that which the author would have us believe he is slowly leading us to, is blatantly obvious from very early on. The element that kept me reading when I knew pretty much where we were heading was not "what?" but "how?"
""The House of Special Purpose" is not a bad book but I found it personally unsatisfying."
Boyne is a first rate story teller. For all the irritations of improbable dialogue (would a two year old really ask "Father, whose present is the best, mine or mother's?") and historical inaccuracy, this is an immensely readable book that kept me gripped from start to finish; admittedly, I did persevere partly because I couldn't quite believe that the author was trying to get away with such a ridiculous premise. More interesting to me than the events of the Russian revolution was the portrait of a marriage repeatedly put under renewed strain. As Georgy starts his story he explains that Zoya, his wife, is in hospital enduring the final stages of cancer; we learn that when she was diagnosed, Zoya chose not to undergo some of the more invasive treatments but bore her illness almost like suffering a justified punishment. As the story progresses we learn of the death in a road accident of their only daughter; of an affair Zoya had with a colleague; of a life seemingly lived without pleasure. Throughout all this Georgy has remained doggedly loyal to this strange woman.
At 496 pages it's a long book but Boyne is not verbose; on the contrary he can depict memorable scenes with enviable economy but there are simply too many that are not essential to the story. The scene where Georgy, newly arrived at the Winter Palace, sits alone in a dark corridor as instructed, unsure exactly what awaits him, is eerie and full of foreboding. A chapter which recounts the couple's arrival in Paris is superbly evocative, conjuring up exciting images of a city recovering from war, a city filled with people from all over Europe, many looking to start new lives. A short subplot involving a young married couple that Zoya and Georgy become close friends with is a dramatic and page turning aside but could easily have been omitted as a minor concession to brevity. This is just one example of Boyne's tendency to over-egg his pudding, using several examples when one or two would suffice.
"The House of Special Purpose" (the title's gloomy significance is revealed towards the end of the book) is not a bad book but I found it personally unsatisfying. If you don't care too much for historical accuracy, you might be able to overlook those particular short-comings but some serious issues with clumsy story telling cast a shadow even more gloomy than the fate of the Romanovs.

Something else that's kinda cool about my new job is that I get a lunch hour. I've never worked a nine-to-five type gig before, so the concept of leaving in the middle of the day is new and exciting. I usually bring my lunch and sit in the park across the street, reading and just chilling in general, but yesterday I decided it was time to start venturing out for my mid-day sustenance.
Sending a call for suggestions into the aether that is Twitter, Eating in NOLA suggested Gott Gourmet on Magazine Street. Close by– check. Fast– check. Cheap– check. Online menu for easy phone ordering– check. Works for me!
Through a perusal of their website, I discovered that Gott is committed to being as environmentally conscious as possible, and their to-go packages are biodegradable. That's awesome! I often feel bad getting takeout because of all the Styrofoam and plastic and whatnot.
Since this was a takeout order, I didn't get to experience much of the place's atmosphere, but it seemed clean, bright, and pleasant. The man at the register was friendly and personable, as well.
I ordered the Chicago-style hot dog, which came with chips, and a side of ancho-honey slaw.
That was a good dog. Big ol' all-beef frank on a poppyseed bun, yellow mustard, shockingly neon green relish, sport peppers, a pickle spear, onions, halved grape tomatoes, and celery salt. Tart, spicy, and savory– all the things a Chicago dog should be!
I wasn't sure what to expect from the slaw, but it was pretty tasty. Even though it was mayonnaise-based (I usually prefer vinegar-based slaws), it wasn't overly goopy and retained its crispness. The flavor was a lot milder than other similar slaws, maybe because of the addition of honey. Regardless, I enjoyed it.
I'd like to go back sometime when I can sit down and eat. The menu's gott got (we're not gonna do that) a fair number of tasty-looking items that look to be creative treatments of standard lunch fare (soups, salads, and sandwiches). They also serve breakfast on weekends.

Blurb via Goodreads-
"When Jason Milwaukee's best friend, Sunshine, disappears from the face of the earth, the whole town, including Jason, starts searching for her. But the insistent voices in Jason's head won't let him get to the heart of the mystery—he's schizophrenic, and the voices make it hard to know what is real and what is not. As the chase becomes more panicked, Jason's meds start wearing off, and he is looking more and more guilty. But of what, exactly? Both brilliantly witty and intensely honest, this poignant novel draws upon the author's many years as an adolescent psychologist, but it's Vaught's powerful voice and expertly crafted mystery that will keep the pages turning."
Freaks Like Us was an interesting and unique read, written in Jason's point of view, who happens to be schizophrenic. Making the style intriguing yet a little difficult to understand at first. The mystery aspect was interesting and kept my interest throughout the entire book.
4 out of 5 stars!

The Gift by Storm Chase On Kindle and Free on Kindle Unlimited
By Storm Chase
Now on Kindle!
When Tony rescues three of Kiev's most notorious Mafiosi, he is showered with gifts, including Max, a Goth beauty with purple hair. At first determined to send her home, Tony quickly discovers they share a passion for clubbing and Scotch as well as a mutual horror of relationships. Is this a match made in heaven, or destined for disaster? A lighthearted romance with fully depicted love scenes.
"You've got no wife, no girlfriend but many women," Vasyl rumbled.
Tony shrugged. "Sure." Uneasily he wondered if Vasyl wanted to take him clubbing. He hoped not. Going out on the town with Vasyl was certain to be a bore.
"It gave me an idea." Vasyl strode to the door and opened it.
One of Vasyl's bodyguards pushed a girl into the room. Her long black trench coat looked incongruous against her purple hair and dog collar. She was carrying a guitar case and two large suitcases.
Oh Christ! Tony thought in horror. Surely not!
"She's yours," Vasyl said happily. When he snapped his fingers, the girl took off her coat hastily. She was wearing a black lace dress over a purple shift, violet tights and tall chunky shoes. She had a lovely slim body but it was shaking with fear.
Tony shut his eyes for a moment, but when he opened them again, she was still there. This wasn't a bad dream then. Even so, Tony felt like he'd fallen down the rabbit hole. Except that Wonderland was turning into Horrorland.
"I picked her because she's from your country, but if you prefer a blonde...," Vasyl offered expansively.
Tony made a swift decision, "She's perfect."
The girl looked over at him. Suddenly she smiled and gave him a surreptitious wink. Tony was startled by the change in her. The fear fled, revealing a lovely heart shaped face with huge violet eyes and a mischievous expression.
"She's yours to keep," Vasyl rumbled. "If you get bored, tell me and I will swap her." He leaned in closer and rumbled, "And if you kill her accidentally, call me. I can fix it."
"How very kind," Tony said politely. "I don't think that will be a problem."
The girl was looking at him now with a wide grin. But when Vasyl cast a glance at her, the smile faded and she swallowed nervously. Tony felt a stab of pity for her.
Vasyl stood up, ready to go. "We are brothers now," he said sentimentally. "My private contact." He pressed a card into Tony's hand. "We should have a drink soon."
"Sure, your brother has an office in the same building as mine. Maybe we can all meet."
Vasyl looked stunned and then laughed. "You've been checking up on us too?"
"I like to know who I'm dealing with."
Vasyl gave him a punch on the arm that was certain to leave a bruise. "We'll be good friends," he said. "By the way, my people will be around to keep an eye on things. So don't worry about being followed."
Tony lifted an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"Just for a few days," Vasyl rumbled. "Not everyone thinks you're a hero."
Vasyl laughed. "I do love that English sense of humour!"
As he walked past the girl, Vasyl mumbled something. When she sagged at the knees, Vasyl laughed and exited. As the door closed behind him, the girl exhaled. She looked like she was about to faint
Now she'll have hysterics, Tony thought with a sigh. He'd better call the ambassador to say he couldn't make it.
The girl took a deep breath. "Thanks ever so much," she said. "Wasn't that awful?" She had a light lilting accent that he couldn't place.
To Tony's utter astonishment, she giggled. "For a moment I was petrified," she announced. "But when I saw you looking at Vasyl like he was some sort of exotic bug, I knew you were alright. He's a real horror, isn't he?"
"Quite." Tony could see that despite her insouciance, her knees were trembling. "Come and have a whisky," he said gently.
She sank into the sofa with a sigh and caught sight of the bottle standing on the table. "Laphroaig!" she exclaimed. "And the Quarter Cask Single Malt too!"
"You like whisky?" Tony asked. Instead of offering her a small nip for shock, he poured her a double.
"Love it," she said simply. "I spent half of my life in Islay, so Laphroaig is like mother's milk to me." She sniffed it appreciatively. "Water of life," she announced.
Tony stared at her. The sweet educated voice didn't go with the looks.
"I should introduce myself," she said apologetically. "I'm Max."

Helpless, a dark romance by AJ Adams
Helpless, a dark romance by AJ Adams
A self-standing novel
First in the Belial Disciples series
Fracas Macintyre has been in and out of trouble all her life but this time it's worse than ever. In debt to a loan shark, she's caught up in a war between the Alistairs, nicknamed The Irish Mob, and Belial's Disciples, England's nastiest MC. Kidnapped and at the mercy of Caden Winslow, Fracas is convinced that life is going to get very nasty indeed.
Caden Winslow is an ex soldier used to taking care of business. When an Alistair henchman steals his beloved Busa, he simply takes one of theirs hostage and expects a simple trade will solve the problem. However, Caden is about to be pulled into a war.
Note: Helpless is a dark romance and there's lots of violence, but it's also a love story. It's not a "lock her up and rape her till she loves him" plot so if you're not sure, give it a go.
I opened the boot, and at the sight of the girl, Crush began grinning. "Hey, is that for me, too?"
"You can go fuck yourself!" The little tart blew up instantly. "You evil bastard, let me go!"
"Whoo! I like her!"
Crush is a man who enjoys performing to the stereotypical outlaw biker image. This time I could see he meant it, and so did the girl. She opened her mouth, spotted Crush's cut and went very quiet.
"You can't have her. She's my collateral." I pulled her towards me, snapped through her ankle ties with the box cutter and threw her over my shoulder. She muttered furiously, but she'd stopped fighting. I could feel her raise her head and look over the crowd of gathering Disciples. She shivered and went limp. I guess she didn't like the look of the party.
Crush was still curious. "Collateral for what?"
"Alistair's man took my Busa."
"You're shitting me!"
Helpless - more satisfying than chocolate!

The Chosen Knights by M. Clarke
When teens go missing in Hawaii, a group of demon-hunters—half human and half angel—disguised as high school students, must leave Crossroads, the place where they reside. In a race against time, they uncover the mystery connecting the missing teens, which dates back to the era of the Knights Templar.
However, when they discover one of the Templars passed down a book containing all the secrets and codes to finding a particular treasure, they soon realize this forbidden treasure needs to be found before Cyrus, the lord of the possessor demons, acquires it—a treasure which been safeguarded and hidden from him.
There is only one problem: the pages containing the clues leading to the treasure is missing. When the first page is found, Cyrus threatens to kill more descendants of the Knights Templar if it is not given to him by Friday the thirteenth. In the midst of threats and discovery, the demon-hunting angels find they are not alone when supernatural beings begin to reveal themselves. Can they put their differences aside and work together to solve the Knights Templars' cipher? As they astral travel to the past, they witness a lot more than they have bargained for. And some things are better left unseen.
Prequel to The Chosen Knights
International Bestselling Author Mary Ting/M. Clarke resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children's chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.
Into His Command
A hero worshipped…
Brooke Valen has resigned herself to a life of adoring Samsyn Cimarron from afar. The massive warrior has been her knight in shining armor since the night she and her family arrived on the island of Arcadia, forced to take new identities and blend into the strange new land to avoid a terrorist's bounty on her father's head. Though Brooke has grown into a woman and devoted herself to learning battle tactics in order to earn Syn's respect, it is clear he'll see her as nothing more than the scrawny teen who washed up on his shore six years ago.
A prince scarred…
Samsyn Cimarron has all but taken a sacred oath never to marry. Disillusioned by the sham of his parents' union, fairytale love is nothing but a concept for dreamers and story books. Instead, Syn has devoted himself to things he can control, like his country's security—and a long string of one-night lovers. But when Brooke Valen serves on his temporary security detail and almost dies in the doing, all his careful mandates are shattered—and one night of naked passion with her doesn't feel like enough. But it has to be. His desires are dark and wicked, unworthy of a beauty like Brooke.
A fate sealed…
When Arcadia's security hinges on Samsyn taking a bride, he reluctantly seals the deal with Brooke—but vows that even his ring on her finger won't make him take her body again.
A love realized?
Though married to the man of her dreams, Brooke has never felt more alone in her life. Is the flame of their love strong enough to shatter Samsyn's darkness? Can the beauty of her soul reach to the beast in his? Or will she have to prove her love by confronting the assassin who's been sent to finish off her family for good?
Hi there. I'm Angel: book lover, writing addict, hopeless romantic, pop culture geek and avid shoe lover.
A bit about me...
I've been hooked on books since I was a kid but it got worse in my twenties, when I discovered romances--the hotter, the better. Growing up in Southern California, with lots of surfer manliness surrounded me, was certainly a good boost for reading about delicious alpha guys and the women who adore them. When I learned I had a knack for telling these stories too, I guess you could say I was doomed--though my path toward romance novelist took a few detours via a concert-reviewing gig for my college newspaper (free show tickets...backstage passes...that was a no-brainer), artist interviews for a Beverly Hills dance music mag, personal assistant work for a record producer, dance club disc jockey, and a lot of fun in the hospitality industry.
These days, I still live in California, and have found an amazing alpha guy of my own who was brave enough to marry me. We live on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with our beautiful daughter. I have the best life ever, and never forget to thank the Big Guy Upstairs for it, either.

An Erotic Romance
Release Date: March 19, 2016
I knew I should have listened to my inner voice. I should never have said yes to helping out my friend, but I did, and the Russian with the dangerous eyes shocked me by how easily he stirred outrageous desires in my body and made me lose complete control. I did the only thing I could. I walked (all right, I ran) away to the sound of his cheap parting shot, 'you'll be back when you need my help.'
But I haven't been able to run away from him in my dreams. God knows I've tried. Then something unthinkable happens. My sister goes missing while on a backpacking trip, and the ruthless predator is the only one who can help.
He sits in his study, a beautiful, powerful man with eyes cold enough to freeze my blood.
He says he can help, but nothing is for free …
She ran like a spooked deer, but I always knew she'd be back.
Now she thinks she can just waltz in here and pretend like nothing's happened. I'm not buying that bullshit. We both know why she's here and what she really wants from me.
She can't get my taste out of her mind.
She wants me to satisfy the aching desires that have gripped her body ever since I made her cum on my fingers. Every time she closes her eyes she thinks of what I could do to her.
But I'm not a man given to doing favors. I'm an opportunist. There's always a price for my help.
Buy The Book
As soon as we are alone I lose my shit. This, as far as I am concerned, is the last straw. I'm out of here. I've had enough. I didn't sign up for this bullshit. The deal was he doesn't do anything I don't like, or the deal is off. He just did something I detest. I absolutely will not allow him or any other man to talk to me like that. No matter how hungry my body is for him, I simply won't allow such abuse. Maybe I'm not built to be someone's sex toy. I'm too independent and free-spirited to be anybody else's side kick. He can go find himself another pliable sex toy to bully.
'You're an arrogant bastard, Zane. How dare you speak to me like that in front of other people?' I fume, striding towards the door.
He stands in my way magnificent and menacing. 'I'll speak to you how I like. I own you.'
I gasp. 'Well, I've got news for you. You don't own me.'
'Yes, I fucking do,' he snarls. His arm shoots out and he yanks me to him.
My new shoes lift off the ground and my body slams into his, knocking all the wind from my lungs. Stunned, I stare up into his furious face. There is a muscle ticking at the side of his jaw. His eyes are impenetrable as his head swoops down, and his lips crush mine in a hungry kiss.
His mouth is hot and wild.
Intoxicated, I open my mouth and emit a low moan. H is tongue forces its way in instantly. The kiss is my salvation and my torment. It is more than anything I could have imagined. It is magic; like that time I sat on a hill right in the middle of a summer storm and saw the lightning crash through the sky and felt it in my veins.
He draws my tongue into his mouth and sucks on it. I feel as I am floating on air. No matter what happens after this, I know I will carry the memory of this first kiss for the rest of my life. I will die with it still on my lips.
Like an addict my arms reach up and tangle helplessly around his strong neck.

He knows her secret and is furious his friend, Char's now dead husband, could have left her in such circumstances. He can save her, if she will only say yes to his proposal. Char has other plans. Joshua would make a perfect husband—for one of her sisters. She doesn't need to be saved. Seduced perhaps…? With one kiss, Char forgets her plans as she is drawn closer to the enigmatic and dear Mr. Forrester.
WHAT HE WANTS by LYNNE CONNOLLY - http://lynneconnolly.com/Love hides in unexpected places... London businesswoman Annie Cathcart can't bring herself to enter into another business arrangement masquerading as marriage. When her current landlord demands her hand in exchange for her continued use of the property, there is only one answer—she must find another house. Upon inquiring after a property owned by the dashing Earl of Carbrooke, the last thing she expects is an indecent proposal. Forced to choose, should she risk everything she's worked so hard for and trust a man she hardly knows —or sink back into her lackluster life? Upon unexpectedly inheriting the Earldom of Carbrooke, Gerald Dersingham fears his carefree days are behind him—until a sensuous widow inquires after his former residence. Unable to resist the temptation to have one last liaison before settling down with the lovely but boring Lady Elizabeth, he offers her one night of passion in return for the lease, little knowing how explosive and far reaching the consequences will be....
PLEASURE HOUSE BALL by SUZI LOVE - http://suzilove.com/Love revealed at a courtesan's ball. Brenton, Lord Mallory, attends his first courtesan's ball in ten years to appease his concerned friends, though he'd rather stay home and read to his motherless daughters. To protect his friend, Lady Lillian Armstrong, Brenton hides her in a wardrobe, but his resistance, and years of self-imposed celibacy, shatters when her soft curves press against him. Though mortified that Brenton unmasked her at the scandalous ball, Lillian doesn't regret their night together. But will the object of her girlish adoration still treat her as his best friend's little sister, or will he now see her as a mature and willing woman?

Helpless, a dark romance by AJ Adams - more satisfying than chocolate!
Helpless, a dark romance by AJ Adams
A self-standing novel
First in the Belial Disciples series
Fracas Macintyre has been in and out of trouble all her life but this time it's worse than ever. In debt to a loan shark, she's caught up in a war between the Alistairs, nicknamed The Irish Mob, and Belial's Disciples, England's nastiest MC. Kidnapped and at the mercy of Caden Winslow, Fracas is convinced that life is going to get very nasty indeed.
Caden Winslow is an ex soldier used to taking care of business. When an Alistair henchman steals his beloved Busa, he simply takes one of theirs hostage and expects a simple trade will solve the problem. However, Caden is about to be pulled into a war.
Note: Helpless is a dark romance and there's lots of violence, but it's also a love story. It's not a "lock her up and rape her till she loves him" plot so if you're not sure, give it a go.
I opened the boot, and at the sight of the girl, Crush began grinning. "Hey, is that for me, too?"
"You can go fuck yourself!" The little tart blew up instantly. "You evil bastard, let me go!"
"Whoo! I like her!"
Crush is a man who enjoys performing to the stereotypical outlaw biker image. This time I could see he meant it, and so did the girl. She opened her mouth, spotted Crush's cut and went very quiet.
"You can't have her. She's my collateral." I pulled her towards me, snapped through her ankle ties with the box cutter and threw her over my shoulder. She muttered furiously, but she'd stopped fighting. I could feel her raise her head and look over the crowd of gathering Disciples. She shivered and went limp. I guess she didn't like the look of the party.
Crush was still curious. "Collateral for what?"
"Alistair's man took my Busa."
"You're shitting me!"
Helpless - more satisfying than chocolate!

Unlawful Attraction by M.S. Parker
I'm not a selfish person. I mean, I'm thrilled that my friends are doing so well with their new jobs and their love lives. I just thought I'd be joining them, at least in the job department, now that I'm working for the DA. Unfortunately, nothing seems to be going like I planned.
Twenty-six year-old Dena Monroe is happy that her friends, Carrie and Krissy, have found love, but she's starting to wonder if that'll ever happen for her. Being a strong, willful woman, she has yet to find a man who can give her what she really needs.
Between work and romance, can Dena find what she's looking for?
Don't miss M.S. Parker's new steamy series that takes us back to Club Privé.
M.S. Parker is a USA Today Bestselling author and the author of the Erotic Romance series, Club Privè and Chasing Perfection.
Living in Southern California, she enjoys sitting by the pool with her laptop writing on her next spicy romance.
Growing up all she wanted to be was a dancer, actor or author. So far only the latter has come true but M. S. Parker hasn't retired her dancing shoes just yet. She is still waiting for the call for her to appear on Dancing With The Stars.
When M. S. isn't writing, she can usually be found reading- oops, scratch that! She is always writing.

So much rain, I brought them indoors to enjoy:

Nan Zhang:Privacy & Security Implications of Web Data:Challenges & Opportunities
Data on the web contain a gold mine of information for analysts and consumers alike. At the same time, such data often reveal rich personal information.....
Data on the web contain a gold mine of information for analysts and consumers alike: price trends of products and services, job opportunities in different industries, opinions and reviews from experts and ordinary users. At the same time, such data often reveal rich personal information or sensitive knowledge of their individual contributors or organizational owners, causing significant security and privacy concerns. Yet, we know very little about what information, factual or analytical, can be extracted from the various types of web repositories.
In this talk, I will discuss our recent work on two aspects of web data privacy and security: First, I will describe a series of sampling-based designs that exploit the common features of many web data repositories, from ranking functions used by online social networks to keyword searches provided by enterprise search engines, to reveal unexpected yet sensitive information in an efficient manner. Then, I will explore the design of a defensive platform on three layers of a web repository: the backend data, the query processing engine, and the front-end interface design. I will also argue that new research on the relationships between the design of web access interfaces and the information extractable through such interfaces could help guide the design of our platform and the design of web data repositories in general, given the rising importance of data available in such repositories.

Hidden in almost knee-deep clover and grass on the North Ridge is a white marble monument to one Walter Whitney. The monument tilts forward so much that you may need to kneel in order to see the carved eagle and cannons above the inscription. A small metal marker from the Sons of the American Revolution is staked into the ground next to it.
Walter Whitney was born in Fairfield, Connecticut on January 23, 1760 to Samuel Whitney and Amy Northrup. Revolutionary War pension rolls list him as having served as a private and corporal in the Connecticut militia. After the War, he married Anah Wells and eventually relocated to the Albany area. Genealogical records give his occupation as both a farmer and a school teacher. He died "of a fall" in Albany on July 18, 1846. At the time of his death, his residence was listed as 26 DeWitt Street (now a very small cul-de-sac between Broadway and Erie Boulevard). Walter was the father of six children; Amy, Mary, Hezekiah, Charles, Betsey, and Nehemiah.
