The 007th Chapter – The Ebook Edition
Posted 31 May 2015 - 02:23 AM
As Jim (presumably) rereads Gardner while pulling vol II together, can I request that he record every instance where Gardner refers to "a merry dance". It has to be at least 200, and it never got any less annoying! Thanks!

A cracking tome sir.
The Devil May Care chapter being wildly inventive and chock full of observations, both witty and thought provoking. The 'Writing As Benson and Gardner' intros were classically and hilariously observed.
I am sure it has been said before but I feel you have the correctly proportioned amount of grumpiness and elitism in your writing (this is actually a compliment) to make a fantastic Bond book yourself.
Did Just Another Kill ever become an ebook? I was 'collecting' the chapters, or awaiting the completion of the book (I can't remember), before embarking on the complete story, but for some reason this never happened for me. Did I miss the obvious? Was it ever finished?
Thank you again for these '7th' essays.
My pleasure.
Funny you should ask about Just Another Kill - it was finished as a Bond fan fiction, about six years ago now.
However, it is due to have a second life - de-Bonded, avoiding as many trademarks and copyright as it can - revised (needs it) and retitled, as an "original" work (if that's the word). Current working title (and probable eventual title) is "Knock-Off". Watch this, or at least cyber-, space.

No one should be misled by Jim's witty and often hilarious digressions and asides, nor by his whimsical writing style. This collection of analytical essays, in addition to being vastly amusing, represents one of the best discourses on the merits and demerits of the literary James Bond that one is likely to find. Having been doing some highly enjoyable Bond-related travel, I've been delayed in ordering the download of the collection, but now that I've done so I've been enjoying the essays afresh today.
My thoughts on beginning Jim's essay on Devil May Care were that he was going to have a little light wordplay on "like" versus "as" and let it go at that. Just as well, I thought, since I usually don't admit to rather enjoying the book, even though I concede its myriad faults. But no, we get a lovely dissection of Fleming and Faulks that pinpoints a lot of the issues that plague DMC. While Jim ultimately finds the book betrayed by its principle conceit and "deeply annoying, exploitative, preachy and misjudged," I can't help feeling that he finds at least some value in it. I admit that I may be projecting some of my own feelings onto his analysis.
Beyond DMC, however, this new concluding essay brings us Jim's thoughts on Fleming and Bond. Bond, he writes, is an "essentially preposterous . . . yearning fragment of the frustrated, immature and withdrawn imagination of a disappointing schoolboy," but it would be wrong to think that Jim disdains both writer and creation. He tells us, rather, that he likes Ian Fleming, likes Sebastian Faulks "and despite suspicions, [likes] James Bond." Jim, I've been reading your various contributions to CBn for over a decade now, and I never doubted you for a second.
On a different tack, I was vastly amused by one of Jim's remarks that relates not only to the later Fleming books, but to the producers of the current films as well, who forge ahead "breezily ignoring the creativity-stifling of 'real Bond fans,' whose smothering adoration of something they liked, and associated underthought demand that the same thing is repeated forever, will only suffocate it in the end." Brilliantly observed, Jim. Fleming purist that I am, it's a lesson that I, and those like me (and there are still quite a few of us remaining) must take to heart. One hopes some of EON's critics also take note.
I can't conclude better than quoting Jim's sendoff:
"Ian Fleming is, finally, dead.
Long Live James Bond."

Yes. For my part, I cannot conceive of the reason(s) why this output is not published and For Sale, in-a-bookshop, or web variant.
For someone who so clearly loves, and is so bloody capable, of Writing, why is this chap not more so deservedly published?
I daresay there is an abundancy of reasons; mine is a completely disconnected reasoning. Or wondering. Having recently read The Heart Bleeds Ice, this would seem to be the obvious continuation author - IFP-lead marketing and advertising reasons notwithstanding... Dunno!

Very kind, both of you.
I might need to rethink my adherence to the Dr Kananga business model.
Posted 12 June 2015 - 05:38 AM
Thank you to all who have provided feedback so far; most kind.
More to come, soon. With apologies in advance.
Posted 12 June 2015 - 07:13 AM
Please, do your worst.
Posted 12 June 2015 - 07:41 AM
More to come, soon. With apologies in advance.
With Fleming out of the way it's all downhill from here.

Mumbai Diary: Saturday dossier
The city — sliced, diced and served with a dash of sauce
Desi inspirations
Ask her about the first image that pops in the head when she thinks of India and design, and Marie Lundström replies, "A newly dyed pink cloth of high quality cotton." The Creative Director of IKEA India is one of the speakers at a one-day design forum scheduled at the MMRDA grounds on February 17. She will join the likes of visual artists Jiten Thukran and Sumir Tagra, and Netherlands-based 3D printing expert Joris Van Tubergen. "I am inspired by many things Indian, which include all hand painted trucks and signage, and the weaving technique, too," adds Lundström, who shifted to Gurgaon last year and is busy decoding the furnishing brand's research on the Indian way of life, which will prove handy when she finally sets shop here.

Genial Vijaybhai will be missed
Cricketers — young and middle-aged — heading to Shivaji Park for matches would invariably stop by at Sportsfolio, the sports goods shop at NC Kelkar Road, Dadar. If they are not abreast of developments, they will no longer meet the store's owner Vijay Gulati. Gulati passed away yesterday following multiple organ failure.
Vijay Gulati at his store in Dadar
Old friends who visited his store never walked out without being offered a cup of tea, and when one wanted to know the latest trends in the world of cricket bats, Gulati knew it all. In fact, he knew every nuance of the sporting goods business, but will be remembered for his welcoming ways and the right kind of advice, especially to parents who couldn't always afford expensive sports equipment. Sixty-five is no age to leave the cricketing fraternity but well played, Vijaybhai!
What Pottermania!
Though JK Rowling clarified on Twitter that it's a script and not a novel, and definitely not a prequel, it would take an Expelliarmus spell to disarm Harry Potter fans of their excitement. Just days after the news that Harry Potter And The Cursed Child Parts I & II will reach the shelves on July 31, the book has already topped the bestseller lists of both, Amazon and Waterstones. The Special Rehearsal Edition, touted as the eighth book in the Harry Potter series, is an original new story by Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, based on the early version script of Thorne's play that opens in London on July 30. For Potter maniacs desperate to learn what exactly happens 19 years later, Hachette India will release the book here.
The seventh and the last book in the series was published in 2007

It's the right answer
What's the capital of Mongolia? We're sure ninth graders Yatharth B Shah and Sagar Pathak would have the answer considering the duo has just won Mumbai City Finals at the second edition of a national travel quiz for school students (from Class six to ninth), conducted by Thomas Cook.
Winners Yatharth B Shah and Sagar Pathak
The team from Thakur Public School beat 55 city schools to compete with the final six, and was declared the winner after an opponent received negative marking for a wrong answer. Apparently, the winning duo had lost the same quiz last year by just three points and had been prepping for the last year. Worth it, considering the prize is an experiential study tour to Malaysia.
PS the answer is Ulaanbaatar, if you haven't Googled it already.
Santoor on my mind

Creed and caramel custard
If cricketers can be excited about playing on their home turf, can musicians be far behind? Indus Creed may have toured the country but the Rock band is most kicked about performing at the city's 100-year-old neighbourhood as part of the Ballard Estate Festival this evening (7 pm onwards).
Uday Benegal (second from left) with the band
"As a band that was born and raised in SoBo, the neighbourhood is an intrinsic part of our earliest memories," says Uday Benegal, who was one of the founding members of the band in 1985 and is now, also part of the 2010-regrouped version that features Mahesh Tinaikar and Zubin Balaporia (also part of the original group) along with Jai Row Kavi, Krishna Jhaveri and Gaurav Gupta. Post the performance, don't be surprised to walk into Britannia & Co and find the artistes tucking into caramel custard.
"It's the best in the world!" Benegal proclaims.

Liv scoffed. "He wishes. I woke up thirsty and hungry, so I went down to the commons to get a soda out of the machine, and I picked him up, too."
"Oh." Harper leaned back against her desk. She thought about straightening up the mess she'd made, but she didn't want to take her eyes off Liv. "Do you think you'll see him again?"
"Just because I said you could stay doesn't mean we have to talk," Liv said, pulling her shirt on over her head.
Harper sighed and considered leaving, but she knew she'd have to talk to Liv eventually. She might as well get it out of the way now.
"Actually, um, I have been wanting to talk to you," Harper said, plunging into the conversation.
Liv narrowed her eyes. "About what?"
"Just life." Harper shrugged and tried to keep her tone casual. "I haven't really been able to talk to you much, so I thought we could check in with each other."
"Why? It's not like we need to be besties or something." Liv snickered.
"No, but you said that you wanted to be friends, and I thought we could be."
Liv tilted her head, as if she had no idea what Harper was talking about. "Did I say that?"
"Yeah." Harper nodded. "You said it a few times, actually."
"Oh." Liv sounded utterly bored with the conversation and picked at a loose thread on her pajama pants. "Was that last week? It seems like a lifetime ago."
Liv turned back around to go through her dresser again. Harper could only gape at her, astounded by the change.
"Did something happen?" Harper asked, as Liv pulled a jean skirt out of a drawer.
"Why? What do you mean?" Liv kept her back to her as she slipped out of the pajama pants and pulled on the skirt.
"I don't know. You just seem … different."
When Liv turned back to her, Harper noticed that same darkness in her eyes, like a shadow had been pulled down to mask a new malevolence, and Liv smirked. "So that's what this is about?"
"I'm going out and having fun, and you're jealous?" Liv stepped toward her, and instinctively Harper tried to take a step back, but she had nowhere to go. The desk was right behind her, so she just straightened up.
"What? No." Harper shook her head. "I'm glad you're having fun with college. But I was wondering if you could keep it down when you come in at night." There was no point in making small talk anymore. "You've been waking me up, and I can't sleep."
"You don't even want to be my friend, do you?" Liv kept walking toward her, and all the silk in her voice had been replaced with an icy edge. "You just wanted to tell me to shut up."
"No, that's not what I'm saying," Harper hurried to correct herself. "I think that you're a really nice girl—"
Liv cut her off with a laugh that sent an unpleasant chill down Harper's spine. "Oh, I am not a nice girl."
She was actually shorter than Harper, but it felt like she towered over her. There was something so imposing about her presence that Harper couldn't explain, and she swallowed back her fear.
It was at that moment, with Liv staring up at her with her wide, cold eyes, that Harper realized Liv was insane. That was the only way to explain Liv's dramatic and violent mood changes.
"Whatever. I have no idea what you're talking about, and I need to get to class," Harper said. "You went from zero to crazy in like three seconds, and I don't have time for this."
"I'm not crazy!" Liv shouted in her face, spittle landing on her cheeks. "And I'm not done with you yet."
"I'll talk to you later, okay, Liv?" Harper tried to keep her words soothing and even. "I have to go, and if you were smart, you'd get ready and go to class soon. Or else it's not going to matter if we get along or not because you won't be here much longer."
"Was that a threat? Are you threatening me?" Liv demanded.
"No." Harper leaned over to get her backpack, taking her eyes off Liv for only a second. "If you don't go to class, you won't—"
Liv was a flicker of motion in Harper's peripheral vision, then Harper felt a hand tighten around her throat. Liv slammed Harper back against the wall hard enough to make a mirror fall off and shatter on the floor.
With Liv's hand clamped around her neck, Harper was pinned to the wall. Liv's fingers were surprisingly long, and her grip was inescapable. Harper could barely breathe and clawed vainly at Liv's arm.
"Liv," Harper croaked out as she continued to struggle.
"Don't ever mess with me, Harper," Liv commanded in a low growl. "If you ever threaten or talk down to me again, I will totes destroy you, you dumb bitch."
She let go of Harper then and stepped back. Harper gasped for breath and rubbed her neck. Her throat burned, and she bent over coughing.
"What the hell, Liv?" Harper asked between coughs. She was still hunched over and looked up at Liv. "I wasn't threatening you! I was saying that if you want to stay in school, you have to go to class."
A wide smile spread across Liv's face. "You're right. If I want to stay, I'd have to go to class. But I don't want to stay. And I don't care what anybody says or thinks. I'm not going to live with a shrew like you any longer than I have to. I'm out of here."
Liv slipped on her shoes, grabbed her purse, and left the room, humming a tune under her breath as she did. Harper couldn't place the song, but she was certain she'd heard it before.
Night Call
It was the same dream she'd been having every night since Lexi had been killed. Gemma was out in the ocean. The water was cold, and the waves crashed around her, crushing her.
It was the night Penn had given Gemma the potion to change her into a siren and then tossed her into the ocean wrapped in Persephone's shawl. Gemma felt like a fish in a net, trying to claw her way out of it before she drowned.
Then she felt the change happening, the siren monster taking hold somewhere deep inside her, filling her with an angry hunger. But her body didn't shift. Her legs wouldn't turn into fins, and she couldn't fight her way to the surface.
Her wings broke painfully through her back and tore through the fabric, freeing Gemma. But they flapped uselessly underwater, and just when Gemma was certain she would drown, she surfaced. The relief at being able to breathe again was short-lived, though.

Every now and then, you hear an adoption story that truly tugs at your heart. We don't often hear a birth mother's story, and we especially don't hear stories about how hopeful adoptive parents back out of a match with expectant mothers who want to place their child for adoption.
Tammy Thompson Davis is a birth mother, and also an adoptive mom. Her own difficult experience as a birth mother led her (22 years ago) to begin The Family Building Project, which is a company that specializes in adoption education, networking, and marketing support of the adoption triad.
Tammy shares her powerful story about how it wasn't the easiest experience (obviously) being a birth mom. She'll share how she experienced the fall through of a match – with not one, but two hopeful adoptive couples.
Most adoptive couples worry about an expectant mother changing her mind before placement, but Tammy had the opposite happen to her. Both couples backed out prior to the birth of her girls.
One couple backed out because they discovered she was carrying twins, and the other backed out because they were presented a "stork drop" situation 8 weeks after matching with Tammy and 8 weeks before her twins were due.
Hear what happened with each couple and what Tammy did when the twins decided to come early. Listen to her tell the amazing story of what she did while in the hospital, not knowing who would ultimately parent her babies.
"No one thinks about how the birth mom feels when a couple commits but out of fear jumps at another opportunity if due sooner, its hard. It hurts. And it almost derailed my faith in adoption. I'm grateful it didn't." –Tammy Thompson Davis
Tammy speaks often at American Academy of Adoption Attorneys (AAAA) meetings, and for large corporations which have family building programs (such as Turner Broadcasting, Coca-Cola, Merck, etc). She has never before had her story recorded to be shared for everyone to hear.
Her story is so powerful and touching, that we split it up into two parts. This episode is part 1.
After you listen to part 1, go here to listen to part 2, where Tammy shares the happy ending to her amazing story.
What you will learn about in this episode:
- What it's like when hopeful adoptive couples decide to back out of a match with an expectant mom.
- What Tammy went through when she found out she was pregnant at 19 years old.
- Hear how she felt as she experienced two devastating fall-throughs with potential adoptive parents.
- Find out who was helping her through the process – and how much support she had from family & friends.
Links we talk about in this episode:
- Part 2 of Tammy's powerful story – listen to her share how she found the perfect parents for her twins, PLUS she gives some awesome tips just for you!
- The Family Building Project – Tammy's Facebook page for providing adoption education, networking, and marketing support for the adoption triad.

Road Tour Blog – Day 3
Matt Kassian's final blog entry on the Wells Fargo Minnesota Wild Road Tour
The birds were singing and the sun was shining when I rolled out of bed this morning. I felt so refreshed that I actually shaved part of my face. By shave I mean trim, and by part of face I mean I barely trimmed anything. It was a good effort though. At about 9:30 a.m. I got a phone call from Greenlay saying, "LEG 1 ASSEMBLE" so we grouped up and had a big team breakfast.
Puttin' on the Heat
Braving the heat, we started the day's festivities at KRBI 105.5FM in North Mankato, rocking a couple of clips on the live radio. After taking a few pictures with some of the staff at the station, we rolled on over to the Wells Fargo in Mankato to sweat out some autographs with fans. Thank goodness they set up the signing table in the shade, otherwise I probably would have melted. I honestly don't know how those Minnesota National Guard guys and girls lasted decked out in full uniform. I would have passed out for sure.
Man vs. Food Competition Nixed
After two-ish hours of autographs we decided to get some lunch before leaving Mankato. Instead of sticking with the regular sandwiches (Sang-witches according to Greenlay) Chuck Coyle made the call on stopping for burritos. Antti was disappointed because he wanted to eat at a local place, I wasn't disappointed because I wanted to go "Man vs Food" and have Greenlay see if he could finish 2 burritos with double meat and all the toppings. Anna said 'no.' Mackenzie said 'no' Greenlay said 'no.' My heart said 'yes.' As per usual, I didn't get my way. So I angrily munched on lunch while the ever-present Charles Coyle devoured his food like he'd just hit his 8-year-old growth spurt. We made a quick stop to pick up something to celebrate the end of day 3 of the Road Tour, but that's a surprise and I'll get to it later.
Harry Potter Kassian and Hermann the German
A toasty bus-ride and some group bonding time later we arrived in New Ulm at the New Ulm Civic Center. A quick interview with KNUJ 860AM and we started another autograph session. I was lucky enough to get another gnome as a present from a fan today, which was awesome! There was a great crowd there, even if I did encounter someone who was extremely critical of my artwork. Whenever I've been bored on the bus I've been turning the cards we've been signing into self-portraits. Typically, I get a lot of compliments, mostly on my Harry Potter Kassian, Gandalf Kassian, or Rudolph the Red Nosed Kassian pictures. One young lady, however, was not a fan of my drawing and let me know it.
I almost cried.
After the New Ulm signing we shot a quick video at the Hermann the German memorial. Hermann was an old school freedom fighter who apparently messed up some Romans back in the day and he has a giant statue that you can take a crazy set of stairs up to see. Personally, I was more concerned about my fear of heights and thinking about the ease with which the building could be defended against zombies (Seriously, if the zombie apocalypse happens… I'm going to go be with my buddy Hermann in New Ulm).
A Sparkling End to the Show
So we were done our appearances for the day. A nice long bus ride back to St. Paul awaited us so we decided to create some of our own excitement. Although it wasn't that dark outside yet, we stopped to launch some fireworks (legal ones…don't freak out) in celebration of the trip. Considering we only had one low quality lighter it took us awhile to get the sparklers we held in our hands going. When all the sparklers and fireworks were going the colors were green and red and Minnesota Wild beautiful. We got some good pictures and video, but it wasn't dark enough to be quite as awesome as we envisioned it. Still… it was/is way cooler than anything Kevin Falness has come up with thus far, so we're happy with it.
And now as this chapter of Leg 1 of the Wells Fargo Minnesota Wild Road Tour comes to a close, we can reflect on all the smiling faces of the kids, Greenlay eating all the pancakes, Chuck Coyle sleeping at every possible moment, and Antti being a Finnish ninja. We saw many cities, many people, and appreciated each one of them; even the one that made me cry.
Thank you to the sponsors who provide cool prizes, shirts, posters, and sunscreen. Thank you to Anna and Mackenzie for putting up with our shenanigans and keeping us on schedule. A huge thanks to our bus driver Ryan for carting us around and being generally awesome and our cameraman Keith for encouraging my misguided behavior and preserving everything on film (if you're reading this…make sure to Photoshop me enough to look good on TV, ok?).
Most of all, thank you fans from St. Paul Park, Winona, Rochester, Austin, Owatonna, Mankato, New Ulm and all the towns, cities, and villages we drove by for coming out and showing your support. Your enthusiasm and excitement prove that Minnesota truly is The State of Hockey.

WHUT TV Premiere of local show, "The District", Tonight
From an email:
"The District is a 3-episode deep dive into community issues around DC – from homeless families navigating DC General, the fight for Barry Farms, food incubators and community gardens to the Goodman League, H Street redevelopment and the impact of rapid city change on small and new businesses.
The series was the winning idea — from first-time director, Will McKinley– for WHUT TV's local series competition, My Big Show. More than 50 entries for show ideas came from DC residents in 2015 with the promise of a guaranteed production budget and airing of the winning entry. The project was an attempt to identify and incubate local content that can someday be the future of public media.
The series airs 6/22, 6/29 and July 6 at 9pm on WHUT TV (PBS-32)."

Skip to comments.Evolutionists Fear Academic Freedom
Posted on 07/05/2008 5:23:33 AM PDT by Kaslin
Celebrate the courage of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal in the fight for freedom. He has shown tremendous courage in signing the Louisiana Science Education Bill, an important blow for academic freedom.
"Our freedom to think and consider more than one option is part of what has given America her competitive edge in the international marketplace of ideas, said biology scientist Caroline Crocker to the Louisiana House Committee on Education. "The current denial of academic freedom rights for those who are judged politically incorrect may put this in jeopardy.
Crocker was testifying on the bill allowing supplemental materials into Louisiana public school science classrooms about evolution, cloning, global warming and other debatable topics. The legislature went on to unanimously (35-0) pass the bill. Now it has become law because of Gov. Jindals courage.
One would think legislation which allows an environment that promotes critical thinking and objective discussion in the classroom would please everyone -- it did the bipartisan group of legislators in Louisiana -- but such is not the case. The New York Times felt threatened by the legislation, calling it retrograde, naming its editorial on the topic, Louisianas Latest Assault on Darwin. They were attempting to pressure Gov. Jindal to not sign the law, using a number of tactics including implicit ridicule, subtle belittling insults and untruths.
The law is straightforward and clearly restricts any intent to promote a religious doctrine. There is no mention of either intelligent design or creationism. Darwinism is not banned and teachers are required to teach students from standard textbooks. But the Times calls the legislation a Trojan horse because the state board of education must, upon request of local school districts, help foster an environment of critical thinking and open discussion on controversial scientific subjects. This allows teachers to use supplemental materials to analyze evolution and show views other than Darwins theory. It allows evolution to be criticized, and the law protects the rights of teachers and students to talk freely about a wide range of ideas without fear of reprisal.
The Times fear is that objective discussion would have the pernicious effect of implying that evolution is only weakly supported and that there are valid competing scientific theories when there are not. They called any school district foolish if they head down this path.
Evolutionists use a variety of methods to silence alternate viewpoints. They say people are trying to inject religious views into science courses. Besides calling it a retrograde step, the Times used implicit ridicule of Governor Jindal, saying, As a biology major at Brown University, Mr. Jindal must know that evolution is the unchallenged central organizing principle for modern biology.
Many reputable scientists and scholars disagree with Darwins theory of evolution and certainly challenge it. Evolutionists say they dont want biased religious views forced on students. Ironically, Darwins evolutionary theory is based is atheistic naturalism, a religious belief.
Dr. William Provine of Cornell University explained his and Darwins shared atheistic beliefs in this way: Let me summarize my views on what modern evolutionary biology tells us loud and clear -- and these are basically Darwins views. There are no gods, no purposes, and no goal -- directed forces of any kind. There is no life after death. When I die, I am absolutely certain that I am going to be dead. Thats the end of me. There is no ultimate foundation for ethics, no ultimate meaning in life, and no free will for humans, either. What an unintelligible idea.
Scientist Casey Luskin, a scholar with the Discovery Institute said, "We would like to see evolution taught in an unbiased fashion and also want students to learn how to think like scientists and to weigh the evidence for and against."
Academic free speech rights for Louisianas public school students and teachers are now guaranteed because of Gov. Bobby Jindals signature. Trying to strike a modicum of balance to the scientific discussion in classrooms and allow students to hear more than one view, Gov. Jindal acted wisely.
Other states are considering similar legislation. Students deserve academic free speech rights to hear alternate views, ask critical questions and debate controversial topics. This freedom will in turn strengthen our country.

I applaud the Governor for his stand to allow all to be taught, as free people in a free nation.
When I a freshman took a course in Geology in the fall of 1953, I was astonded that the order of evolution was in harmony with the Bible's order of creation, at the time I thought this was reasonable.
About 7 years later (1960) In my research, I read "Enspiration vs Evolution" by Dr. W. B. Riley, (copywrite 1923). He pointed out that in Darwin's Theory it is stated over several hundred times, "we may well assume." In the Holy Scriptures it is stated over and over, "thus saith the Lord." (Shall we live on assumptions, or by every word of God?)
Dr. Riley also taught the results of teaching evolution as a fact, and the results of teaching creation. He said, those that are taught evolution, in lieu of creation, would turn to Athesism, Communism,and Anarcy. And that has, and is happening.
God's word, and His creation have lasted thousands of years,
and our children (as well as adults) are taught "In the beginning God" and the the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and he became a living soul." (Genesis 2:7)
Yes, "By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and the host of them by the breath of His mouth." (Psalm 33:6)
A blessed result of teaching creation (God's word) is given in Proverbs 16:6, "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil."
I do not think we should teach religion in science class in public schools and I do not think that churches should have to teach anything they don't want to.
My point was that there are many competing religious beliefs and scientific facts that contradict Genesis. Based on your logic of academic freedom, churches logically should have to offer competing ideas too.
You objected, not on academic freedom grounds, but suggested that support from taxpayers was the determining factor.
I demonstrated that churches ARE supported by taxpayers and you agreed.
Therefore, logically, both churches AND schools should be forced to offer alternatives or NEITHER should. I prefer neither, but since you promote creationism in schools, you logically support evolution in churches
Some churches do, but it not ordained to do so. The church
was founded for and by the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, "I will build My church" and It is written, "Christ loved the Church, and gave Himself for it." And He promised to "present it without wrinkle and without spot."
As to teaching in other nations, I would allow them to teach here, as they allowed us to teach in their countries.
If they will not allow us to teach, neither should we allow
(and some are even subidized by and established by our taxes)them to teach in our nation.
The claim that there are no transitional forms is creationist propaganda. They refuse to see those transitionals, hence they don't exist.
This is an example of a transitional:
Site: Koobi Fora (Upper KBS tuff, area 104), Lake Turkana, Kenya (4, 1)
Discovered By: B. Ngeneo, 1975 (1)
Estimated Age of Fossil: 1.75 mya * determined by Stratigraphic, faunal, paleomagnetic & radiometric data (1, 4)
Species Name: Homo ergaster (1, 7, 8), Homo erectus (3, 4, 7), Homo erectus ergaster (25)
Gender: Female (species presumed to be sexually dimorphic) (1, 8)
Cranial Capacity: 850 cc (1, 3, 4)
Information: Tools found in same layer (8, 9). Found with KNM-ER 406 A. boisei (effectively eliminating single species hypothesis) (1)
Interpretation: Adult (based on cranial sutures, molar eruption and dental wear) (1)
See original source for notes:
Source: http://www.mos.org/evolution/fossils/fossilview.php?fid=33
Now that teachers can't be disciplined for critical thinking and objective discussion there is nothing to prevent them from critically examining religious beliefs.
A young earth and the global flood should be among the easiest to apply critical thinking and objective discussion to.
There is no credible scientific evidence supporting either belief, and teachers will now be free to state this. And there's absolutely nothing the fundamentalists can do about it because of the silly law they just got passed.
Yes. And then the class would discuss these theories and find them to be false. That's called "critical thinking," my friend.
Now I'll go in the corner and shut up, as you'd like.
If that were so, why has the theory of evolution changed (dare I say evolved) over the years as more fossil evidence has been gathered? Darwin provided examples of slow continuous evolution and that was mainstream evolutionary theory for years. However, the twentieth century theory of punctuated equilibrium better explains much, but not all, of later fossil finds.
This is how the left wins the public argument - by appealing to people's sense of emotion - i.e sympothy. Emotion wins everytime - this is how we have homos, minorities and women dictating policy to the majority. Rather than a colorblind society we have race, sexual preference and gender based discrimintion.
IF the right wants to win the cultural war they will unfortunately have to engage people from an emotional (ie. sympathy) level. People are sheep and for the most part idiots. In fact the more educated one is, the less common sense they have.
We agree on both of these points. I *think* where we differ is what is being advocated here. I do not believe that "religion" is being required to be taught in science class. I do believe, though, that the weaknesses and strengths of any theory, or belief system, should be taught when that theory or belief system is taught.
Part of the teaching the weaknesses of evolution could include (NOT "should"), religious beliefs of various peoples. While this part would not be science, the exposure of the theory's weaknesses would be the science being discussed.
Only if you referee doesn't know the difference between school district taxes and tax exmpt institutions. By your reducto ad absurdum, we could put the tax exempt ACLU in the same camp and start regulating it, and I am sure you wouldn't want that, 'cause then they wouldn't have the fund to sue taxpayers who do not vote they way they like.
Every single one of your examples can be shown as nonsense by repeatable experimentation in the here and now. Evolution, as a theory of what happened in the (very) distant past, cannot be directly tested by repeatable contemporary experimentation, in the good old here and now.
As a theory of history...not at all subject to direct observation and experimentation, (and by it's own hypothesis actually pre-historic...) Darwinism is unique in science, in that so many scientists hold to it as firmly as gravity, and yet unlike gravity, and practically everything else in science (since it is claimed evolution happened over hundreds of millions of years), no one can directly test it.
It's no wonder that the most ardent evolutionary scientists are atheists, and, virtually all atheists are evolutionists. All religious beliefs have a philosophy of history, and Darwinism is no exception.
Maybe that is the reason the Dr. Provine is at Cornell,instead of Harvard or Yale. Knowing the founders of Harvard believed that "All knowledge without Christ was vain." And yet still on the college seal the motto, "For Christ and the Church.
And Yale had a primary goal of, "Every student shall consider the main end of his study to wit to know God in Jesus Christ and answerably to lead a Godly, sober life."
Would to God these were true today, at all our Universities, we would have worthy goals and purposes.
I didn't use taxpayer support as a determining factor, my opponent did.
The weaknesses of scientific theories including evolution IS being tought in science class. Darwin did it himself. You cannot offer religious objections in schools unless the religious objections can be argued based on scientific evidence. ID offers no proof at all; no evidence. It isn't science so teach it in church
Ive seen this example provided by you in a previous thread. If I remember correctly, you never replied to my refutation. To illustrate the inadequacy of this example, I would ask you how many genetic mutations were involved in the evolution of this species from the previous one, and what are the corresponding phenotypes?
This one questionable example of yours is like trying to stop a hurricane with a single bag of sand.
In order to give a minimum amount of credibility to evolutionism, fossil evidence of transitional forms must be found at least in the tens of thousands, but preferably in the tens of millions.
I challenge you to provide just ten separate examples of transitional forms.
If evolution is true, the rocks should contain billions times billions of fossils of the ancestors of the complex invertebrates. Yet, not one has ever been found.
-Duane T. Gish, in his book The Fossils Still Say No.
More from Gish:
Errol White, an evolutionist and expert on fishes, in his presidential address on lungfishes to the Linnean Society of London, said: But whatever ideas authorities may have on the subject, the lungfishes, like every other major group of fishes that I know, have their origins firmly based in nothing Later he went on to say, I have often thought how little I should like to have to prove organic evolution in a court of law.
If you read Gishs book, or research the fossil record, you will see that there is no (zero) fossil evidence for transitional forms. Not just transitional forms between fish and amphimbians, but also between amphibians and reptiles, reptiles and mammals, and all the countless species between which transitional forms must have existed in the path of commmon descent if evolution is true.

Founder and President of ACT! for America and ACT! for America Education. Gives a phenomenal response to a Muslim woman critical of the mindset of Americans toward Muslims. brigitte gabriel – Old Guard Audio .com BENGHAZI ACCOUNTABILITY COALITION EVENT Highlights: Regarding the comment that most Muslims are peaceful; Germans – Most germans were peaceful yet the nazis drive the agenda, and as a result, sixty million people died almost 14 million in concentration camps, six million Jews that peaceful majority were irrelevant. Russians – When you look at russia most russians were peaceful as well, yet the russians were able to kill 20 million people, the peaceful majority were irrelevant. Chineese – The Chinese were peaceful as well, yet the Chinese were able to kill seventy million people, that peaceful majority were irrelevant. Japaneese – When you look at japan prior to World War 2, most japanese were peaceful as well yet Japan was able to butcher its way across Southeast Asia killing 12 million people. Peaceful Muslims in America? September 11th in the United States we had 2.3 million Muslims living in the United States, it took nineteen hijackers – 19 radicals to bring America down to its knees and destroyed the World Trade Center, attack the Pentagon, at and killed almost 3,000 Americans that day, that peaceful majority was irrelevant. 0:00 like a peace to you all my name is pablo mad and I lost it in 10 American 0:05 University 0:06 I am here to ask you know simple question 0:10 I know that me portray Islam and 0:14 almost lands as bad but there's 1.8 billion Muslim 0:17 followers have Islam we have 8 million-plus 0:21 Muslim-Americans in this country and I don't see them represented here 0:25 but my question is how can we find an ideological war with weapons 0:30 how can we ever end this war the jihadist ideology that you talk about it 0:35 ideology how can you ever win this thing 0:39 if you don't address it ideologically Frank 0:44 will no I'm glad to see you're representing 0:47 Muslims in this company I I don't know 0:51 wanna speak for anybody else but myself but I think I can say safely that there 0:55 isn't anybody on this panel who thinks that all Muslims are the problem 0:59 right I certainly don't I what we have 1:02 been trying to help people understand is the 1:06 ideology to use your term the doctrine if you will %uh the program adjourned I 1:11 don't know 1:12 what the best way to describe sharia is but thats 1:15 the fault line I think between Muslims who are 1:20 decidedly the problem because they believe 1:25 it is laws will God's will to impose 1:28 that program on everybody else Muslim and non-Muslim alike 1:32 on the one hand and on the other hand you have lots of Muslims 1:38 who don't follow that program 1:41 may don't even know what it's about don't speak Arabic 1:45 are interviewed with the traditions of the faith 1:49 as out of Saudi Arabia for example and they are not necessarily the problem at 1:55 least not yet 1:56 but what makes these policy things so important it seems to me and why it is 2:01 imperative that we understand it is not just that we don't know 2:05 that we're fighting I'm ideological war 2:08 against people who are absolutely 2:12 convinced up the supremacy up their ideology 2:16 but because as a practical matter 2:20 we're engaged in 2:23 a situation that is becoming vastly worse 2:26 in part because we keep embracing people who 2:30 are imbued with that ideology was like come back to this idea I've 2:35 legitimate ng and engaging 2:39 and funding arming the Muslim Brotherhood 2:42 these are exponents up sharia is part 2:46 love their agenda very explicitly to impose a 2:50 as I say on everyone else 0 I thank you for the question and I think 2:54 we absolutely do need to deal with this as an ideological war at least in part 2:59 or at least understand that the ideology that is driving 3:03 the violent jihad on the one hand and every bit as importantly 3:09 what the Muslim Brotherhood calls the civilization G hot 3:12 on the other many in the government 3:17 thinking about this at all are focused on the sort of dangling 3:21 shiny object dangerous is it is a violent jihad 3:25 but they're missing entirely that other piece that I talked about in connection 3:30 with all that but in others 3:32 which is this aversion the not so much 3:36 non-violent former jihad as three pre 3:39 violent former jihad with which they hope 3:43 ultimately to take us down just as surely as the others 3:46 who embrace violent jihad seek to do but at the end of the day 3:51 it is something that brings them together whether it's ices 3:55 whether it's the Taliban whether it's ok I to whether it's the Muslim Brotherhood 3:59 whether it's 3:59 dozens of others is Sharia and we do have to get that's great 4:04 now great %ah 4:09 great question I am so glad you're here and I am so glad you brought that up 4:14 because the 4:15 because it gives us an opportunity to answer what I find so amazing is 4:19 since the beginning of this panel which we are here about being got the attack 4:23 against our people 4:24 not one person mentioned Muslims we are here against Islam 4:28 or we're launching war against Muslims we are you to discuss how for 4:32 Americans died and one our government is doing we were not you're the best 4:36 Muslims you are the one who brought up the issue about 4:39 most Muslims not us and since you brought it up 4:42 allow me to elaborate with my answer there are 1.2 billion Muslims in the 4:47 world today 4:47 of course not all of them are radical the majority of them are peaceful people 4:52 the radical are estimated to be between 15 to 25 percent 4:58 according to all intelligence services around the world 5:01 that leaves seventy-five percent of them my peaceful 5:05 people but when you look at 15 to 25 percent of the world's Muslim population 5:10 you're looking at a hundred than 80 million to $300 million people 5:14 dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization 5:17 then big up the United States so what should we worry 5:21 about their radical 15 to 25 percent 5:25 because it is their radical that kill because it is the radicals that he had 5:29 and massacre 5:30 when you look throughout history when you look at all the lessons of history 5:34 most germans were peaceful yet the nazis drive the agenda 5:39 and as a result sixty million people died 5:42 almost at Sep 14 million in concentration camps 5:46 six million Jews that peaceful majority were irrelevant 5:50 when you look at Russia most Russians were peaceful as well 5:53 yet the Russians were able to kill 20 million people 5:57 the peaceful majority were irrelevant when you look at china, for example, most 6:01 Chinese were peaceful as well 6:04 yet the Chinese were able to kill seventy million people 6:07 that peaceful majority were irrelevant when you look at japan prior to World 6:12 War two 6:12 most Japanese were peaceful as well yet Japan was able to butcher its way across 6:17 Southeast Asia 6:19 killing 12 million people mostly killed by an add some chuckles 6:23 that peaceful majority were irrelevant on September 11th in the United States 6:28 we had 2.3 million care about Muslims living in the United States 6:33 it took nineteen hijackers 19 radicals 6:37 to bring America down to its knees destroyed the World Trade Center attack 6:41 the Pentagon 6:42 at and killed almost 3,000 Americans that day 6:45 that peaceful majority were irrelevant so for all our powers the reasons that 6:50 us talking about my rhythm peaceful Muslims I'm glad you're here 6:54 but where are the other speaking out and CR on 7:06 %ah 7:10 %ah 7:13 %ah 7:17 %ah 7:23 and see all the only %uh Muslim representative in here you took the 7:26 limelight and set up speaking about why our government 7:29 and I so are you an American you're an American citizen 7:33 so as an American citizen you sat in this room and instead of standing up and 7:37 saying a question 7:38 or asking something about our four Americans that died 7:41 and watch our government is doing to correct the problem you 7:44 there to make a point about peaceful moderate Muslims 7:48 I wish to drop 10 with you the question about what how we can hold our 7:51 government responsible 7:53 it is time we take political correctness and throw it in the garbage where it 7:57 belongs %ah 7:58 the 8:08 %ah 8:15 and there will be refreshments after what 8:18 I I did you want to respond to the 8:22 your think yeah 8:25 you had a follow-up to get the II 8:28 you go ahead right comment 8:32 thank you for your responses and I do really hope that other Muslims will 8:35 start showing up at these conservative plans 8:38 but you know I had them peaceful I'm American Muslim I would like to think 8:42 that I'm not that irrelevant 8:44 I'm good i'm just still much an American I'm very 8:47 deeply saddened about the lives that were lost in Libya 8:50 and I hope that we will find justice for their families and 8:54 but I I don't think that this work in ever be won by just 8:58 the military you have to address them you have to bring Muslims to the table 9:02 to craft 9:02 I think everyone agrees that it can be when I just militarily and I think that 9:06 everyone's other you tell you the head above the Muslim peace movement is 9:11 I get that me right now yeah Give a listen to my Podcast! You will be glad you did.

Pokemon GO: Go Take a Walk
Maybe you could say that giving teens yet another reason to walk around in a daze with their faces buried in their phones is a bad thing, but so far Pokémon GO strikes me as a cool phenomenon. My college-aged … Continue reading

New And Improved: The Ole Store
Submitted by Alex Beeby on Tue, 07/05/2005 - 6:53am
Under new ownership and operation, after significant updating, with a new focus and chef, a new and improved Ole Store opened for business this morning. Todd and Linsay Byhre, proprietors of the establishment on St. Olaf Avenue near Lincoln, are focusing the business on simple and healthy foods with organic and additive free ingredients. With initial offerings of a wine bar and coffee house, they expect to open the restaurant half in a couple weeks starting with breakfast and lunch and eventually adding a dinner menu. Brian Stansberry, the head chef, is in charge of their simple menus and creating the dishes the Byhres expect will delight their customers' taste buds with a simple and healthy place to enjoy food's potential achieved.

Anyone know if they have (free) WiFi available?

Does anyone know if they are serving Ole Rolls.
Submitted by alexbeeby (not verified) on Tue, 07/05/2005 - 12:38pm.
I believe they do have free WiFi; they also have a web-kiosk.
They, I've heard, did not purchase the recipe for Ole Rolls, but do carry a variety of very good pastries. No big loss, IMHO, the recent version of the Ole Rolls wasn't very good--certainly not worth the reputation. The old ones though, as big as a plate, moist, dripping with caramel, and oh, so good.
Submitted by Ross Currier (not verified) on Wed, 07/06/2005 - 3:07am.
This is great! It feels like we've had a piece of our community's heart restored. Best of luck to the Byhres.
Submitted by T Byhre (not verified) on Thu, 07/07/2005 - 6:08pm.
Lindsay and I want to thank everyone who has come in and lent us their support and encouragement. At times, we have felt a bit like we are performing a community service project.
Northfield has a number of very unique independent food and beverage establishments form Tiny's to the Tavern, Froggy's to the Cow, from Blue Monday to the James Gang. Independent establishments are challenging to run and even more difficult to make profitable.
Please support our independent service providers in town. As for the questions:
We will have a great Sticky Bun/Caramel Roll being developed for us by the Brick Oven. Our concentration will be on our meals with great purveyors providing us our fresh baked goods.
We do have free WiFi and an Internet Work Station.
Submitted by SAE (not verified) on Fri, 07/08/2005 - 6:41am.
As much as I enjoyed the Ole Rolls, the Brick Oven's caramel rolls are unequivocally the finest I've ever tasted. I hope the new rolls for the Ole Store are of the same, or a similar, recipe.
Submitted by Sean O'Leary (not verified) on Sun, 07/10/2005 - 12:54pm.
Though I haven't been there myself yet, judging by these pictures, and what I've heard from those who have been, the new Ole Store seems to have lost a lot of its aura.
As you can see from the picture of the wine bar, the traditional look is being akwardly replaced by a more sleek, modern look.
Perhaps the new owners will pull off the more eclectic feel, but I think not.
PS: Following the tradition of the store, the new Ole Roll recipe should be the same, but I have to agree with "SAE," the Brick Oven ones do taste better, or at least as good.
Submitted by MiltHanson (not verified) on Sat, 07/30/2005 - 5:06am.
We ate at the Ole Store 7/29/05 - Wonderful.
Submitted by AEklund (not verified) on Thu, 09/08/2005 - 10:20am.
It's great to see the Ole Store open once again. As a former Northfielder and having developed my sweet-tooth there when it was a small grocery/candy store, it was hard to see it close. I'll look forward to visiting over St. Olaf's reunion weekend in a couple of weeks.

Quinn Build
ADC Role
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Quinn can realy go with anny support in general, but supports with damage is better for Quinn, since she already does alot of damage early and can keep distance between herself and the enemy with her E.
I recommend Annie becuase she has her stun with her passive and can poke alot with her ablilties and when you guys get to lvl6 and you get your ultimate ability you will kill the enmy SO FAST.
Nunu is also a great choice because his ultimate DESTROYES the enemy and you can slow the enemy and do alot of damage to them with a quick E auto attack Q combo, and then Nunu bursts them down with his ultimate and you get the last hit as Quinn.
Quinn is an amazing invade champion since she can use her E for damage and proc her passive and come out with alot of burst at only lvl 1.
Design your team to make it as good as possible for invading. Use champions like blitzcrank and
Kha'zix because blitzcrank has his Q hook, and Kha'zix does alot of damage with his Q.
Lane phase
During the lane phase you want to last hit minions to get farm. early game 15cs is equal to a kill. So if you have more cs than your enemy adc you will kill them faster since you will have better items.
Poke the enemy using your E first do an auto attack with your passive and then use your Q and get some distance.
always use your W when somone is missing on the map, and try to position yourself closer to un warded bushes such as the tri bushes or around the dragon.
Pros / Cons
Nice Kit
Mana officient
Fast with ultimate
Valor abilties cost no mana
Free ward with W
Only two damage abilities
Dosent have an amazing item
Only has one skin
Play Style
Make your tank engage and then use your E to go in right after this will proc your passive and also do damage and giev you some distance.
Stay in the back and auto attack and spam your Q.
You can also come in to the teamfight from behind of the enemy. Use your R to run towards all of your enemies use your E and then Q and then press you R again to do the massive AOE damage.
I prefer this style more. It makes them run. and chasing is fun as Quinn ;)

With only a couple of weeks to go until The Walking Dead returns for more zombie slaying action, a new promo trailer has landed featuring some seriously cool unseen footage. Although the trailer only clocks in at 30 seconds, we get a look at Daryl's rescue attempt, plus the first meeting between Rick and the Governor. Check it out:
You have my permission to get very excited.
We've already heard from the show's co-producer that more deaths are on the way when The Walking Dead returns, and from all the promo material we've seen so far, I think Season 3.5 could be the best yet.
The Walking Dead returns February 10th, 9/8c on AMC.
Who do you think is next to bite the dust in The Walking Dead?

I would do it all again, and I highly recommend it.

Domaine Hudson Ratings and Reviews
This is the third time we have eaten at DH. Food quality is always good, but the ambiance and overall feel was down a notch. It didn't feel as special as it has before. We both had fish entrees that were prepared very nicely, but the presentation was meh. Still one of the better restaurants in Wilmington, but it is not the star it once was.
My wife and, I who are from out of town, recently stayed at the Hotel DuPont. We saw the Domaine Hudson was highly rated on Trip Advisor and ate there last Saturday night. We each went with the 4 course meal which was phenomenal. There was also an excellent wine list and the service was quite good. The Domaine Hudson is something special.
We had our New Year's Eve dinner here and it was fantastic. The five course fixed price menu was creative and delicious. We especially liked he venison. The dinner was a good value for this celebratory evening. The service was very attentive and not at all rushed on what is usually a busy night. We've dined here before and will again. I highly recommend for all occasions.
We had a dinner with good friends from Europe, six of us in total. The restaurant did an amazing job making us feel welcome and treated us like royalty. The food was outstanding, the service could not have been better, and the wine was off-the-charts, including being served at the right temperature. For us, Domaine Hudson is hands-down the best restaurant in Wilmington at the moment.
Wine flights are the best way to sample new options. Our server chose 3 wonderful cheeses to begin our meal. The pasta dishes were wonderful. We had the one with mushrooms and kale along with the one with sweet potatoes and chirizo. I'm a repeat client at Domaine and it never disappoints!
Our waitress told us about the fish special. She said it was branzino. "Chilean sea bass which is a dense white fatty fish...". I ordered it any way hoping it was Chilean sea bass. It came... a whole fish...very pretty on the plate, but it was obviously not Chilean sea bass!! And, they never offered to take it away to fillet the fish. One other note...a big pet peeve...they served and took away from the right. The prices are high for Wilmington and I would expect the service to be top notch. Very disappointed.
Great menu has big variety of sharing boards to start, The Duck liver mousse was delicious, pasta with mushrooms was light and tasty. I ordered the whole fish which was the Bronzino and that fish was ample for two, had to take the rest home. The rest of our group enjoyed the Duck and the other fish.
Serious kitchen, offering steak, duck, and 2 fish dishes the night we were there. I had a splendid endive with Asian pear salad to start. Then barramundi (white solid-flesh fish) pan sauteed so the skin was crisp, with citrus sauce and kohlrabi on the side; tasty, surprising flavor combination. Plate was not heated, though, which made the dish less flavorful after everything came down to room temperature. My wife had roast duck breast (excellent), plum-yogurt sauce plus duck leg confit (salty). Endive and Asian pear salad was first-rate. Asparagus side dish had light bread crumbs or perhaps unsweetened granola, with Bearnaise sauce--excellent. We sampled 3 red wines from their large by-the-glass selection, offered in 1.5 oz, 3 oz, and 5 oz sizes. Dessert was 3 cheeses plus condiments, with bread and crackers. Ambiance is lively but not noisy.
Everything was very good, especially the ambiance and service. The food was also very good, but a bit on the expensive side for the value received. Cocktails were $13-16 which was way too much, although they were quite good. Expect to pay $80-100 per person at the end of the bill.
As usual, our dinner was excellent! The Pork Belly Brisket was the best I've had...tender, sweet and smoky too. Both Mains (Duck and Beef) were tender and delish. Javier does a wonderful job explaining the menu and making you feel welcome. I wish we could eat here more often!
The wine was excellent, the food even better. Simple and taken for granted but the bread brought to the table was amazing. The pork belly brisket I had was to die for. My wife's whole branzino was perfectly prepared. My strip steak was beautifully seared & crispy on the outside and exactly to my medium rare liking on the inside. It's been a good half year since we've been to Domaine Hudson but we'll be back soon.
Realy disappointed with our last visit to Domaine Hudson. Almost 20 minutes before our inital drinkorder arrived. The rest of the night our glasses sat empty for at least 20 minutes before our server returned to ask about next round. 3 people ordered the same pasta dish and one had no pancetta, one had tons of pancetta, one was about right. With each course about half of our table received room temperature or cold food. After dinner coffee was stone cold and topped with fresh whipped cream but no sugar added so it tasted awful. unfortunately our server never came back to check on us until long after the rest of the table finished their course. Sure we could have raised the issue then but then half the table might have gotten dishes and the rest of the table waits. Now to be fair some of our dishes were outstanding. The pork belly app was awesome, the cavatelli pasta was awesome, the duck was really good, the gelato was great. We love DH and have raved about it for years. The inconsistency with the food was strange and uncharacteristic in our experience but we could have solved that issue if our service wasn't awful. And then at the end of the evening our server brought the bill but then took it back saying she forgot to do something. When she brought the bill back she had pre-filled the tip with a 20% tip. We had a group of 7 so I get it that many restaurants have automatic tips for larger groups. But for that policy to be an automatic 20% tip? Yes 20%tip is standard for good service and we always exceed 25% for great service. But to be forced to pay a 20% tip for terrible service is an insult to every good server in the industry. This was such a bizarre experience at Domaine Hudson. I don't know when we will be up for returning and it is truly one of our favorites in Wilmington.
Domain Hudson continues to be my favorite special occasion spot in Wilmington. Everything from the creative and uniquely named cocktails to the delectable and not overly sweet dessert exceeded my expectations. Their customer service and attention to detail does not go unnoticed. We only go to this establishment about once or twice a year, but we are always greeted warmly by Javier, who goes above and beyond to make sure we have a wonderful experience. The food is extremely well-balanced and it is evident that a lot of thought and precision go into making each dish. One dish that really stood out last night was the pork belly brisket, which my husband and I both said ranks as one our top 10 favorite things we've eaten. Can't wait to return!
Oh the flavors! Our truffle pasta was a LITTLE disappointing (delicious but lacking truffle flavors which was why we ordered it) but EVERYTHING else was amazing! Pork belly was perfect (the fats were great with our Spanish wine), our duck main dish was unbelievable and my apple mousse at dessert was unbelievable! Add to it a fabulous wine list with a great array of non-ordinary /non-boring wines with a reasonable price range and it is a great night! Domaine Hudson can compete with restaurants in markets like NY or D.C. so in a small market like Wilmington it is a godsend!
The food and service are excellent, but the noise level due to the tight accomodations degrades the ambiance especially when there is a large table in the vicinity of your table. The night we were there, my wife and I need to shout to hear each other speak because everyone in the restaurant were trying to speak over one another. We felt that the price of the food was not worth the value of having to endure the loudness of our surroundings.
